Motion in poetryWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
A bonfire of Hallmark greeting cards, bellowing sickeningly sweet drifts of smoke. Cleveland Indians mascot Chief Wahoo lying in drifts of snow, staring at the great wide sky for the last time. Silent stares of contempt and derision aimed at an unhoused man as he walks the Toledo streets.
These and scores of other images were part of a June 16 poetry reading that featured more poets than audience members.
Toledo Free Press sponsored a stop on the June 16 Art Walk, a signature event of the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo. We opened our warehouse on Huron Street, set up chairs and a makeshift podium and invited a group of local poets to read their works. Michael Grover led an outstanding line-up of poets — Arnold Koester, Jonie McIntire, Greg Peters and Bob Phillips.
With the cluster of activity on St. Clair and Adams streets, there was a dearth of passersby on Huron Street to look in and see the reading, but each of the poets gave it his or her best, reading original material that inspired laughter and reflection to the few people who joined us.
There is a thriving poetry scene in Toledo, but it seems like a backburner element compared to music and gallery arts. Most of my exposure to the scene comes from the published works of longtime Toledo Free Press arts writer John Dorsey, who is producing a body of work that is growing in size and national acclaim.
It's a tougher challenge at home in Toledo.
Phillips told Toledo Free Press Staff Writer Patrick Timmis, "Poetry's like the poor uncle of the arts."
Grover is keenly aware of how some people view his art. He said many people stereotype poetry as bad and boring — epithets he thinks many poets deserve. He said he wants to make poetry fun again, although many of his pieces are dark and questioning.
Grover read a number of his "American Outlaw" poems, making each piece a compelling performance.
Peters read an epic poem about being unhoused in Toledo. After working nearly 30 years for Chrysler, he is waiting for news on his pension while he gets by the best he can. Peters told Timmis he has written 800 poems in the past three years. Reading live, the words tumble out of him in a cascade of alternating anger and amusement.
"Poetry is to make a point and make a difference for someone's life," he said.
Phillips, with his shock of Einstein-like white hair, read poetry about his backyard observations and baseball memories. His work is specific and intimate yet universal in its wise evocation of the larger gears at work in life.
Phillips told Timmis he started writing poetry as a child. He grew up in Toledo.
"Most everything I learned was at the public library — the poor people's university," Phillips said.
His first poems were humorous, but puberty made his poems angsty and depressing, he said with a smile. When he discovered the Beats at age 11, he felt liberated by their style.
"You always thought a poem had to rhyme and be about flowers or autumn or something like that," he said.
Poetry has always resided just outside my grasp, not as impactful as music but just as mysterious in its creative process. Words are fluid, live building blocks, but the way a poet shapes them isn't the way I push them around or the way a songwriter manipulates them. And while many people believe they can be writers (I work just a few blocks from some of the region's most high-profile failures), truly inspiring works of poetry and songwriting (the two are not the same thing, although some lyrics read like poetry) are intimidating.
In an effort to promote this special art, Toledo Free Press is co-sponsoring the Aug. 6 "Zygote in My Fez Poetry Festival," from 4 to 10 p.m. at the Collingwood Arts Center. Red Fez and Zygote in my Coffee are the primary forces behind the event, which will feature nearly two dozen poets reading their works. We are also looking to find a more high-profile location for our remaining ACGT Art Walk poetry readings, July 21, Aug. 18 and Sept. 15.
Let's take the poor uncle and show him a few special nights on the town.
Michael S. Miller is editor in chief of Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star. Contact him at email@example.com.
Since you asked, my single published poem, "Newsstand Love," was published in a modest college anthology alongside real poems from real poets:
"Newsstand Love"
She has a Playboy body,
Penthouse eyes,
And a Cosmo mouth.
Her man had a World News sex drive,
But a National Enquirer mind,
And People depth.
She left him for a man with a GQ wardrobe,
An Esquire lifestyle
And a Wall Street Journal career.
But in her bed: Reader's Digest.
She left him for a man with Sports Illustrated energy,
Rolling Stone hipness
And Vanity Fair ambitions.
But in her bed: National Lampoon.
Now she's renewed her subscription with her first man.
If looking at the pictures keeps you satisfied,
Skip the fine print.

Does anyone have good experiences to share with Early Intervention? In our case, we've been referred to seven different specialists, all coming back with different "diagnoses."
I'm not really concerned with milestones, but with having a happy heathy baby. My goal for EI was to have some fun games to play with DS that would help any developmental issues (all of which have been called "very subtle") along. Since he's only 13 months (10 adjusted), I'm not too concerned about delays yet - any concern would come if he's still showing delay at 2, since that's when most preemies even out with their peers.
EI has just been totally disappointing! No one seems to have any "intervention" ideas to share! Once a week, an occupational therapist comes to our house and DS pulls a toy around. She never has any ideas as to what I could do with him at home through the week. Do we just have a bad therapist, or does this coincide with everyone else's EI experience?

An old friend said, "I want a good doctor and a good pastor. All I have is body and soul, and I don't want a tinkerer working on either of them." His statement has validity. The priest and the doctor are among the world's oldest professionals. In tribal cultures they were united in the same person – the witch doctor, for example. Always they had similarities and differences, and in each profession there are good and bad.
Some years ago a doctor ministered to a family member. His diagnosis was perfunctory and inaccurate; his intention was unforgivable. Another doctor, with whom I discussed this, said, "Fred, you must remember there is a much difference between doctors as there is between pastors."
That shook my confidence in the medical as nothing ever has, but the statement was correct.
In selecting a doctor or a minister, there are some things that I would look for. First, I would look for training. Has there been a willingness to pay the price in education? Is there indication of continuing pursuit of knowledge? Is there professional competence?
Second, I would look at the person. Is there dedication to the work? Does professionalism blot out humanity? Both the doctor and the minister, in the work of physical and spiritual healing, must deal with the whole person. There should be a sensitivity to the needs, the hurts, the wounds.
I have seen ministers weep over the needs of their people. I have also stood with a neurosurgeon who had tears streaming down his face as he told of his inability to save an accident victim.
Finally (and more difficult to determine), I would look at motivation. Above all things, the doctor should be dedicated to healing and the minister to ministry.
It is possible for lesser motives to creep in – self-aggrandizement, material accumulation, personal recognition or acclaim, professional advancement or any one of a score of other things.
In both professions, there is the temptation to succumb to the "God complex." In motivation the doctor should realize that she treats the wounds but it is God who heals. The minister should understand that, though his work may hold heavenly treasure, she herself is but a common earthen pot in which the treasure resides.
The thought for this article came when a friend shared the story of his cancer operation. His doctor said, "Yours is a rare kind of cancer, but I am reading about it and will let you know more on your next visit."
My friend answered, "I don't want the doctor who reads the book. I want the doctor who wrote the book."
It was my intention to write a light article about doctors and pastors. Maybe I'll do that sometime. Few of us, doctors or pastors, "wrote the book."
Today remember the admonition, "All I have is body and soul, and I don't want a tinkerer working on either."
Rev. Dr. Fred Andrea is Aiken's First Baptist Church's pastor.

Cornerstone Sonoma is a Showcase of World-Class Landscape Architecture in Northern California
White Cloud by Andy Cao and Xavier Perrot
One of the most visually arresting installations at Cornerstone Sonoma is "White Cloud," which, contrary to its name, is an ominous dark cloud with shimmering drops of rain hovering above a desert landscape. The installation was produced by Andy Cao and Xavier Perrot, and it's made from big bunches of mesh wire that are suspended from tall poles.
Red Lantern by Andy Cao and Xavier Perrot
Chinese immigration is a very important part of California's history, and the otherworldly "Red Lantern" installation by Andy Cao and Xavier Perrot is inspired by various aspects of the Chinese experience in California. The piece features several sets of oversized chopsticks next to a railroad track, which references the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad, leading into a large lantern-shaped structure.
Garden Play by Topher Delaney
If the blue and black wall at the rear of Topher Delaney's installation looks familiar, it's because it's something you've probably seen countless times on the bottom of grocery store items: It's a bar code that spells out the words "Garden Play" in Code 39. Clever, eh? The bar code stands behind vertical lines of eight slender birch trees, providing a contrast between manmade/commodified objects and the natural world.
Small Tribute to Immigrant Workers by Mario Schjetnan
Mario Schjetnan's emotionally – and politically – charged installation at Cornerstone Sonoma pays tribute to the thousands of Mexican migrant workers who risk their lives to find work in the US. The sheet metal wall represents the border between the two countries, and it leads to a small series of vegetable planter boxes, representing agricultural jobs in California. On the opposite side is a small "Pool of Tears" that represents migrant workers' loneliness and fears.

Theoretically, let's say that you can keep the mother's bp from rising with a drug that's safe for pregnancy that exploits this pathway. Isn't that possibly bad, because the placenta is raising the mother's blood pressure *on purpose* to pump more blood across the interface to the fetus? Isn't the blood pressure increase *adaptive* in a lot of normal pregnancies? I mean, the objections to lowering bp via meds are still in play if this pathway becomes targetable -- the ones that point out how IUGR and compromised blood flow and bp meds don't play together well! This wouldn't solve the problem of a shallowly implanted placenta, so while I can imagine it being helpful for a subset of chronics... I can also imagine it being unhelpful for many other PE patients.
As is often the case, this is highly preliminary stuff. Very interesting highly preliminary stuff. :)

Thunder in the Vicinity
Wind: 7 mph
To The Editor:
As David Sellers said in last week's "In My View," the purpose of the Fourth of July is to remember and celebrate the independence of our nation. The Warren Fourth of July Parade is a unique experience that draws not only The Valley loyalists but also introduces new people to our marvelous surroundings.
The great thing about a democracy like ours is that new ideas can be raised, debated and decided without fear of reprisal. I applaud Susan Roy for asking the basic question "Is there a better way?" If, as a nation, we had not had people willing to ask that question, you can imagine what type of society we would be today.
When Susan and I spoke about using our new Lincoln Peak Village at Sugarbush during the Fourth of July, neither of us intended to replace or undo the wonderful tradition of the parade and street fair that David so eloquently described. We were simply asking if it might make sense to use our Lincoln Peak Village in a way that complements what already occurs in the Village of Warren.
Last year, many people parked in our parking lots and rode the Mad Bus down to the parade and then rode it back up. This helped alleviate the parking challenge and congestion on The Valley floor. After the parade, we had many families who ventured up to Lincoln Peak to participate in summer activities, a barbeque and/or a restaurant experience. Jimmy Yozell came up to the mountain after he finished at the Warren Store and there was a fireworks display after dark. Next summer we plan to have the same activities, and we would be delighted to do more if the town wished for that to happen.
However, we love the Warren Parade and the other activities surrounding it. In no way do we want to diminish the traditions of that day. If we can complement what occurs in the Village and make the Fourth of July experience even better for all, then that is what we are open to discussing with the event's planners.
Win Smith, president

Live from the Floor of the 2012 Washington, D.C. Auto Show
Since the summer of 1989, the reasonably priced Mazda MX-5 Miata has been thrilling sports car fans with its featherweight rear-drive chassis (just over 2000 pounds) and drop-top fun-in-the-sun persona. The Miata's organically responsive handling, mixed with a large dollop of 1960s British roadster, drew buyers by the tens of thousands. But it's no stretch to say that it was Mazda's brilliant five-speed manual transmission that created much of the trill. The stubby little shifter was so effortless that it moved with just a modest flick of the wrist. The second generation Miata in 1999 got one more gear for the 10th anniversary models; that six-speed remained optional (the five-speed was standard) well into the third generation and was equally great to use.
Miata's sports car formula has lasted for more than two decades, and it's no surprise. For 20-plus years Mazda has offered one of the best manual transmissions available on any car at any price.
One of the most highly anticipated machines of the year is the joint-venture sports car between Subaru and Toyota (which makes Scion). Subaru's BRZ will reportedly have the slight performance edge on the Scion version of this car, but both are lightweight (around 2700 pounds), rear-wheel drive, pack 200 horsepower four-cylinder engines, and come standard with a six-speed manual. These twins are the first credible sports car challengers to the Mazda Miata since the late Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice.
Naturally, the engineers were tempted to design a heavier and more expensive twin-clutch, paddle-shift transmission instead of a manual. But we're sure glad they didn't. Besides, Subaru's goal wasn't just to match its direct competition, like the Miata, but to provide the same level of driving involvement as a Porsche Cayman by making the BRZ as rewarding and organic-feeling as possible. The early drive reports seem to confirm that the team met that goal—during PM's first drive in Japan, the six-speed manual was precise and satisfying. We predict Subaru (and Scion) will sell quite a lot of six-speed manual sports cars.

2 tablespoons
olive oil
1/4 cup
chopped prosciutto
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons
chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup
chopped onion
1 1/2 pounds
pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2 inch strips
1/2 cup
chicken broth
1/2 cup
heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon

This recipe is just yummy...I did make two changes, though. First of all I added garlic to the mix, because I love it and I only cooked the pork for the inital 10 minutes. I then removed it while I cooked down the cream and broth mixture. Once the sauce had cooked down, I put the pork back in to heat it up. This is a terrific recipe and I really appreciate having found it!
Lots of prep work for a dish that was okay, but not stand out memorable. Even though I'm Italian and grew up with the stuff, I never did like prosciutto so I used bacon instead. Used shallots because that's what I had, and added some garlic. I sliced the tenderloin into medallions, dredged them with flour, then sauteed them. I removed them to a platter and set them aside while I sauteed the bacon, shallots and garlic. I deglazed the pan with white wine, then added the sun dried tomatoes, sage, parsley, broth and cream. I returned the pork tenderloin to the pan and cooked over medium heat until the meat was cooked through and the sauce had thickened. It certainly was a beautiful dish, but just didn't have the same wow factor in taste. I've made far tastier pork tenderloin dishes with fewer ingredients and half the effort.

This was spectacular - We made the 4 servings for the two of us and didn't stop until it was all gone. Based on the reviews and what I had on hand, I made several changes. First, I used 1/2 tsp each dried sage and parsley in place of fresh. I added 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 tsp oregano and 1/2 tsp basil, all of which I associate with good Italian recipes. I also added an extra tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes. I substituted fat-free half and half for heavy cream and used 1 cup along with 1 cup chicken broth. I also added 2 tablespoons flour mixed with water to thicken the sauce. The entire mixture was spooned over penne pasta at the table. This can be made from uncooked pork tenderloin as the recipe calls for or from left-over tenderloin grilled using a marinade. If using the left-over, add pork strips at the same time as called for, but remove prior to adding the broth and cream. Keep warm, then add back to the sauce after thickened. This is very easy to make and is a real gourmet treat. Thank you so much Anna and reviewers!
Update: Fresh seasonings make ALL the difference. I use FRESH sage, parsley, basil and oregano. We make it so much we started an herb garden almost entirely for this recipe. They are in 12" pots and come in the house during the winter. Fantastic!
Even better when 1-2 T. sugar are added and double the broth & cream then serve over pasta...yummmm
I am not a huge fan of pork, but my husband loves it so I thought I'd give this a try. I have made this a few times now, and it has quickly become one of our favorite meals. I do make a few changes. I sautee mushrooms and minced garlic along with the onions, herbs, and prosciutto. The first time I made this the tomatoes got a little too done for me, so now I throw them in with the pork instead of with the above ingredients. To make the recipe a little healthier, I use fat free half and half in place of the cream, and it's still great. When I have spinach on hand, I throw that in as well. Typically I omit the salt since there is already enough salt from the pork/prosciutto/broth. We eat this over brown rice. This is a simple dish to make that looks much more difficult and is great for company.
Absolutely fantastic! Simple to prepare and it looked beautiful. I served with mashed potatoes instead of pasta. Also, poured a Covey Run Cabernet Sauvignon ($8 a bottle). Terrific match of flavors. The only tweaking I did was to use dried sage because I couldn't find any fresh and added a bit of fresh minced garlic. You cannot have Italian cooking without garlic. I may have added a bit more heavy cream and chicken broth because I didn't measure. This was wonderful and I cannot wait to make it again. This is in my top five of all time great Allrecipes contributions.
This was a very tasty recipe for pork tenderloin. I did make changes as suggested by other reviewers. I pan-seared the pork first which I cut into 1 inch thick medallions rather than strips and then removed them. I didn't have fresh herbs so used 1/2 tsp. each of oregano, sage and basil and added garlic & mushrooms to the rest of the suggested ingredients. I deglazed the pan with about a 1/4 c. of wine and let some of it boil off. For extra sauce, I used 1 cup cream and 1 cup chicken broth mixed with 2 tbsp. flour to thicken it. Once thickened, I added the pork to re-heat and cook through. Served over mashed potatoes with steamed broccoli and my family just loved it!
Very good. A few notes: I added garlic, and just before serving (over penne pasta) I added about 1/4 cup grated parm. The sauce did not thicken even after 20 minutes...but it was still very tasty. Next time I probubly wont use the sage.

Study on racial disparity in Vt. justice due soonBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | January 12,2014MONTPELIER A study seeking to determine if members of minority groups are treated more harshly by the Vermont criminal justice system than white defendants should be finished before the Legislature adjourns this spring, said the official leading the study.
When the Legislature commissioned the study by the Vermont Center for Justice Research in 2012, it set December as the deadline for the report. But it was delayed because of problems getting the required information from the FBI, according to Max Schlueter, the centers executive director.
Now his organization and the FBI have agreed on the information that will be provided and they are now working to determine the mechanics of how the information will be shared.
Schlueter briefed the House Judiciary Committee on the progress of the study Friday.
The Legislature asked us to look into disparities in sentencing, Schlueter said before the hearing. But in large part they were really interested in whether or not the sentences of people of color, how does that compare with sentences for white defendants.
Schlueter said there was no disagreement that minorities are disproportionately represented in Vermonts criminal justice system.
Its an issue that in one form or another has bedeviled Vermont law enforcement for some time. Separate studies released in 2012 determined minorities were more likely to be stopped by police than white drivers.
Schlueter said that going beyond traffic stops, anecdotal evidence leads many to believe there are more minorities in Vermont prisons because they came to the state and committed serious crimes.
And before arriving in Vermont many already had significant criminal records that would prompt prosecutors and judges to seek lengthier sentences against them.
But statistically it has been impossible to determine if the minority defendants are being treated more harshly because the studies have only looked at the defendants Vermont record. To make an accurate comparison, a study needs to take into account the complete history of the individual.
So the Legislature appropriated $20,000 and the federal government added another $23,000 to get the entire criminal history of a representative sample of defendants over a five-year period.
Schlueter said his office and the FBI have agreed to share the records, specifically looking at histories of charges that include domestic violence, assault and marijuana and cocaine possession.
Its a troubling question and our goal, really, is to either put it to rest and say, you know, the courts are in fact color blind or say thats a good story about all these bad guys coming up from the Bronx, but it really isnt true, Schlueter said.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

Convert Google Maps Data to GPX
Version 6.4k: 2014.02.12
The Google Maps API is great, but it doesn't have an
easy way to export data in GPX
format. This bookmarklet is my attempt at a hack to get information out of
Google Maps and into GPX, suitable for loading on a GPS.
This bookmarklet can create a GPX file based on driving directions, an address search or a local search. The GPX file will contain a route, a single waypoint, or up to ten waypoints, respectively. The code for extracting waypoints from local search originally came from this page.
If you're looking for a utility to display GPX files in Google Maps, I recommend GPS Visualizer.
Firefox: Drag the following link to your browser's bookmark toolbar.
Internet Explorer: right-click on the following link and "Add to Favorites…"
This is the link:
- Go to Google Maps and get some search results. Here are some to test with:
- Click on the GMapToGPX bookmark in your toolbar.
- A GPX file should be displayed over the map. Copy and paste it into a file on your hard drive. (Save it as a plain text file, using Notepad, TextEdit, emacs, or whatever your favorite text editor is. If possible, save it with the extension ".gpx", but ".txt" ought to work, too.)
- Load the GPX file into your GPS or mapping software and see what happens.
Upgrade Instructions:
- In most cases, upgrades should happen automatically, without any action required on your part.
- In the event that a new version has been released but it's not working for you, check the version number at the top of this page, then click on this link.
- If the version number at that link is the same, you should now be upgraded. If not, force a refresh of the page by holding down shift as you click "reload". The version number should change to match.
- If you installed the bookmark prior to February 12, 2014, you should remove it and re-add it. I've changed where it pulls the script from, and the only way to get that change is to re-get the bookmarklet.
Navigate at your own risk. If a GPX file produced by this code directs you into oncoming traffic or over a cliff, don't sue me.
- I develop and test with Firefox, and try to test with Internet Explorer. Other browser may or may not work.
- For driving directions, the "Route", "Track" and "Points" types only place waypoints at the numbered turns, not at every point Google uses to draw the route. Since roads aren't necessarily straight, the GPX route can be way off (although the waypoints themselves should be accurate). The "Full" type creates a track log of every point in the route, following the curves of roads. This can be prohibitively large, as I'm not doing anything to filter out points that don't add significant detail. Maybe that'll come next.
- This is somewhat dependent on the internal workings of Google Maps, and may break the next time they update.

- 2005.11.22 – v3.9 – Fixes for Internet Explorer, fixed another bug causing failures importing to MapSource, added "Points" output selector for devices which just don't do routes or tracks. Tested against maps.27a.js.
- 2006.02.17 – v4.0b – Updated to work with maps2.37.js, a fairly major overhaul. New features: full driving directions track log containing all points in the route, not just the turn points; appears to work with Google Maps UK. Not tested against any browser but Firefox 18.104.22.168 on Mac OS X.
- 2006.02.22 – v4.1 – Updated to work with maps2.38.js.

- 2006.04.04 – v4.7 – Nope, that didn't work. Updated to work with maps2.44.js. Tried a different method of future-proofing. Weird Safari problems; I'll try to address those in the next version.
- 2006.04.05 – v4.8 – I think I fixed the Safari problem. It should work now with Firefox, Safari and IE (although you still have to click on the permalink first in IE [as of version 5.0, you no longer have to do this in IE]). I've only tested Firefox 1.5/Mac, Safari, and IE6/Win, and not much testing at that.
- 2006.04.14 – It looks like they've updated to maps2.45a.js (including a cool inset window in the lower right), and the bookmarklet still works. A red-letter day for me; this is the first time a version of GMapToGPX has continued to work across back-end updates.
- 2006.04.18 – Looks like it still works with maps2.46.js. Hooray!
- 2006.04.19 – v4.9 – Updated to address a back-end change in gmap-pedometer.
- 2006.07.21 – v4.10 – Updated to work with maps2.59.js. Three months without requiring a change; not bad. Not tested with anything but Firefox/OSX.
- 2006.09.07 – v4.11 – Updated to include gmap-pedometer elevation code from Mathew O'Brien. Looks like it's working with maps2.62.js, too. Yay!
- 2006.09.14 – v4.12 – Updated to work with maps2.63.js, and fix a bug with single address search results.
- 2006.10.11 – v4.13 – Updated to work with maps2.65.js. Includes fix for gmap-pedometer-alike sites, as mentioned in the comments. Minimal testing, as it's being updated at 1:15 in the morning.
- 2006.12.15 – v4.14 – Updated to work (mostly) with maps2.70.js. Still needs work in order to add route points for milestones in a multi-destination driving route. Not fully tested, but works for me.
- 2007.03.05 – v4.15 – Updated to address maps2.75.js, which changed a variable that hadn't been changed in probably a year. Still need to work on multi-point routes, but basic functionality should be restored.
- 2007.03.22 – v4.16 – Updated to work with maps2.76.js. Now, instead of spitting out bad info for multi-destination routes, spits out good information for only the first segment in a multi-destination route. Still have to think about how to rewrite it to deal with multiple destinations.
- 2007.03.22 – v4.17 – Updated to work with maps2.77.js. I need to figure out how to fix it so it doesn't break with each update again. Multiple destinations still don't work, either.
- 2007.04.23 – v5.0 – Major update. Rewrote all the code for extracting driving directions, and a good chunk of the points of interest extraction code as well. Uses fewer calls to non-API internals, so it shouldn't break as often when Google updates maps*.js. Also fixed the display problem where UI elements such as scroll bars were showing through the GPX textarea. Should work on Firefox and IE; haven't tested on anything else.
- 2007.05.01 – v5.1 – They must be doing this on purpose. For no apparent reason, they changed the way driving directions are quoted in maps2.79.js, which broke the bookmarklet. I'll have to come up with better regular expressions. Fixed, for now.
- 2007.05.21 – v5.2 – Updated to work with gmaps version 81 (no longer named maps2.version.js). New features: descriptive route and destination comments. Start of route still gets "Head east on…" instead of the address, though.
- 2007.06.13 – v5.3 – Maybe upgraded to work with version 82, although while I was working on it they seem to have rolled back to 81, so I'm not sure.
- 2007.06.19 – v5.3e – 5.3a through 5.3e are mainly small bugfixes. 5.3e adds better handling of "My Maps" style maps, with a download link for the KML and a pointer to GPSVisualizer.
- 2007.07.13 – v5.4 – Added preliminary support for yelp.com. Can't do "nearby businesses" listings, but should be able to handle searches and individual listings.
- 2007.08.21 – v5.4a – Fixed to address new obfuscation style in version 87. No new features.
- 2007.10.09 – v5.5 and 5.5a – Incorporated a fix from Kyle Yost to seriously increase performance when displaying the "Full" list of points. Also fixed a bug in "Full" with milestone descriptions being off by one, and with double-encoding of ampersands. Potentially fixed a character encoding problem for international versions, although I haven't been able to test whether it works. It works for me, but then again, it did before, too.
- 2007.10.16 – v5.6 – maps.js version 91 has a new way of indexing route segment points and descriptions. I think v5.6 addresses this.
- 2007.10.30 – v5.6a – maps.js version 92 changed things slightly. I've compensated, but it'll probably break again in version 93. We'll see.
- 2007.11.15 – v5.6b – Bugfix for multi-destination routes. I don't think I'd tested these with 5.6 or 5.6a, so this probably isn't a new change on google's part, just an old change that I missed.
- 2007.12.10 – v5.6c – Quick (not well-tested) fix to address a minor change in maps.js version 95.
- 2007.12.12 – v5.7 – Added support for SPOT Satellite Messenger.
- 2007.12.14 – v5.7a – Fixed KML export from "My Maps".
- 2008.03.28 – v5.7b – Quick fix to address change in maps.js version hc13.
- 2008.05.07 – v5.8 – Addresses a change in maps.js version 110a.
- 2008.07.31 – v6.0a – Completely redid the gmaps driving/walking direction extraction, addressing maps.js version 121. I should do that for the gmaps POIs, too, but I'll leave that for 6.1, since it still works with the old code. (6.0 only existed for a few minutes, and screwed up "My Maps" support.)
- 2008.09.21 – v6.0b – Added support for logyourrun.com, with minimal testing.
- 2008.09.30 – v6.1 – Addresses a change in maps.js version 130d. Again, minimal testing. Seems to work for me, though.
- 2008.11.10 – v6.2 – Addresses a change in maps.js version 136d. "Works for me" level of testing.
- 2008.11.23 – v6.3 – Works with gmap-pedometer again, for now. And includes a fix so that if you've saved the route, it will include the permalink, instead of always saying that it's unavailable. It won't save the route for you, though. Also, with the new auto-routing enabled, there may be many more "turns" in the route than you expect. Disable auto-routing if this annoys you.
- 2008.11.24 – v6.3a – Addresses a change in maps.js version 138f. They've added an array named "trips", but I can only ever get the first element of it populated. It looks like maybe they're planning to let people have multiple trips on one page, which would potentially mean a larger rewrite of my code. I guess I'll address that if it happens.
- 2009.03.09 – v6.4 – Somewhere between 138f and 149f, they changed how points of interest are stored. I don't remember if they've ever done that before. 6.4 takes that into account.
- 2009.03.10 – v6.4a – I didn't test very well, and missed that 6.4 only worked in certain cases. 6.4a should work better.
- 2009.03.20 – v6.4b – Quickly hacked back in support for sites which worked like gmap-pedometer, prior to v6.3. Should make usatf.org work again, maybe.
- 2010.10.17 – v6.4c – Minor change to page encoding detection. There's almost certainly a way to do it that doesn't involve scraping the html, but this way of fixing it was quick. Should solve the "invalid xml/gpx" problem.
- 2010.11.18 – v6.4d – Been a while since I really dug into how this worked, so it took me a while to get a fix out, sorry. This should fix problems introduced by a back-end change they made a few days ago. I've done minimal testing, because I'm going to put more effort into a writing new major version which scraps most of how it currently works.
- 2010.11.18 – v6.4e – Oops, missed a regex in 6.4d. Now point descriptions shouldn't have a trailing </span> messing things up.
- 2010.12.25 – v6.4g – Hm, I must have forgotten to update the page when I added 6.4f. Oh well. 6.4g fixes a bug in a regular expression (I hope) which was causing only the first turn in any route to get displayed.
- 2011.07.01 – v6.4i – Huh, I forgot to update at 6.4h, too. This update removes the code which checked for "view as kml" on a "my maps" page, since those don't exist in the same way any more. I'll work more on it later, but this should fix the problem where it didn't work at all because of that.
- 2011.07.12 – v6.4j – Added support for "My Places" back in, based on the URL of the link, rather than looking for a "view in google maps" icon. I have no idea if this will break something else, but my quick set of tests seems to show it working.
- 2014.02.12 – v6.4k – No change in the script, but a change to the bookmarklet. You will need to remove and re-add the bookmarklet to get this change, which moves the hosting of the script to an https site. This should fix the problem with nothing happening on the https version of Google Maps. There are no other changes.
- The source is now available here, on GitHub.
- GPSBabel – the Swiss Army Knife of GPS file format utilities. Should be able to turn the GPX output from this bookmarklet into any format you might need it in.
- GPS Visualizer – web-based gps file conversion, includes a web interface to GPSBabel. Very handy.
- Better handling of non-ASCII characters.
- Start address in first waypoint's description?
- Separation of extraction from display code, for easier updates and mashup additions.
- More prominent link to GPSBabel?
- Link to Bev Howard's instructions
- More options: comments/no-comments, merge route segments, etc.
- Redo gmaps POI extraction from gpxvar, rather than scraping html.
- Transit directions.
- Complete rewrite using jQuery.

Ummm... I may be doing this wrong, but all I've been doing when I'm in a rush and don't want to wait for the backup, is press the little grey 'x' that appears right next to where it tells you it's backing up your phone.
This will skip the backup and go right on to syncing. That way, I let the phone back-up when I have time, or I skip it when I just want a quick sync.
Tip o' the Week: Backup Blues Begone!
I'm an apps guy. Since the App Store in iTunes rolled out, I've been downloading like a maniac. I knew there would be consequences, like slower backup during my iPhone syncing. Then, I synced for the first time after my iPhone was bloated with apps. A snail crept across the sidewalk faster than the syncing status bar. Seriously? Am I resigned to syncing my iPhone overnight so, hopefully, it will be ready to go by morning? Is there someone (or someones) out there who has wrested the baton from Apple's clutches and done what Apple should have in the first place by allowing syncing without backing up?? Read on to find out in this week's Tip!
Fortunately for those of us with BiSSD (Bloated iPhone Slow Syncing Disorder), there is a solution, brought to you by Michael Sitarzewski of Zerologic.com. In response to Michael's step-by-step procedure, another contributor to the Mac/iPhone community, Hendrik Holtmann, has also addressed this issue with a small app posted at eidac.com. Thanks to Michael and Hendrik, slow backups could be a thing of the past.
First, let's take a look at Michael Sitarzewski's method found at zerologic.com. Michael provides fair warning that his method will DISABLE the backup feature for your iPhone, meaning that when you sync, your data WILL NOT be backed up. He also suggests that backing up your personal data can be accomplished via MobileMe over-the-air syncing (and we all know how well MobileMe has been working, right?) or Time Machine.
In his own words, let's have a look at Michael's step-by-step from zerologic.com:
Seems easy enough. If you prefer to avoid making changes using Terminal, then Hendrik Holtmann's app may be more to your liking. You can read more about it and download it from eidac.de here, allowing you to enable or disable backing up your iPhone with just the click of your mouse. A link is also found on his site for PC users.
Armed with this knowledge from very knowledgeable contributors to the iPhone community (many thanks to both of you, Michael and Hendrik!), you can now proceed to sync your iPhone without fear of a lengthy, time-consuming backup. Backup when you WANT to. At least you now have the option.
That's it for this week's Tip. If you have a tip of your own that you would like to share with the rest of us, please leave a Comment or you can email me at: email@example.com.
Disclaimer: Tip o' the Week makes no guarantee, express or implied, that any tip found herein will be new or particularly useful to the reader (and please remember -- using the Tip above will result in NO BACKUP of your iPhone's data. You were warned! Caveat Emptor, baby!).

Tip o' the Week: Backup Blues Begone!
Ummm... I may be doing this wrong, but all I've been doing when I'm in a rush and don't want to wait for the backup, is press the little grey 'x' that appears right next to where it tells you it's backing up your phone.
Why does it take 20 minutes to back up about 20MB of data? I can copy an entire CD's worth of music to my iPhone in about a minute or two. That's what USB 2.0 is for. 480mbps and it creeps along at modem speed?
It's VERY odd that it's so slow!
@Jenny and @Zyber Joe -
That works for me sometimes, but I've found that iTunes gets a little crashy and loses its connection to the iPhone about half the time I try it.
i also hit the X... but some have said that causes corrupted files on occasion. so it's not a perfect solution.

Harbaughs work the media roomBy DAVID GINSBURG
The Associated Press | February 02,2013NEW ORLEANS Working separately, John and Jim Harbaugh each guided their team to the Super Bowl. They will be on opposite sidelines Sunday, John as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens and Jim with the San Francisco 49ers.
Imagine how effective they could be if working together.
At their joint news conference Friday, someone asked the brothers if they would consider teaming up if either should be forced out of his current post.
No question about it, John said. Weve had that conversation in the past. It just never really worked out timing-wise. Id love to work for Jim. It would be the greatest thing in the world.
Jim, coach of the San Francisco 49ers, said, Definitely, I would work for him.
Super Bowl tradition dictates that the coaches meet with the media separately two days before the Super Bowl. That custom was altered Friday because, after all, two brothers have never before coached against each other in the Super Bowl.
Wearing a dark suit, white shirt, striped tie and laced business shoes, John settled into a directors chair behind a Ravens helmet. Jim, wearing a 49ers hat, a sweat shirt, khaki pants and running shoes, sat in an identical chair behind a San Francisco helmet.
Calling it an exciting moment, John ticked off the names of family members in attendance, including his parents. They posed for pictures with grandfather Joe Cipiti on the stage afterward, too.
Jack Harbaugh, their father, was a successful college coach. His sons followed in his footsteps, but on different paths. There was one time, however, when the routes nearly merged.
We almost made it happen at Stanford at one time, John said. It would be an honor to have him on the staff. Hes a great coach. You always try to get great coaches, and there are none better than Jim Harbaugh, and I mean that seriously. Theres no better coach in the National Football League than this guy right here.
To which Jim added, Well, Jack Harbaugh.
The family coaching tree could run even deeper one day. Jims son, Jay, works for John as a coaching intern with the Ravens.
Hes far better than weve anticipated, and I knew he would be great at what he does, John said.
The brothers obviously had a lot of fun with the situation, joking with each other and sometimes acting like a comedy team.
Someone asked them to list their commonalities and philosophical differences.
I would be hard-pressed to spell philosophical right now, Jim said.
I know he cant spell commonalities, John said, not missing a beat.
Although Jack Harbaugh has received much of the credit for molding the boys into coaches, the brothers revealed that their mother, Jackie, also had a great deal of influence on their growth into men.
There is no one in the family who has more competitive fire than my mother. She competes like a maniac. She has just always believed in us, and I think that is the most important thing to me. She believed in me, John, and Joanie, and took us to games and played catch with us, shot baskets with us, and just believed in us.
No one would fight harder for us than our mom, no matter what the situation was, or teach us how to have each others back and be there for one another, John said. We may have been talking football with dad in the basement, but mom was talking about other things. There were a lot of things going on in our world during the `70s, and Mom was always tuned in on those kinds of things.
Someone asked the brothers whether they considered how they will handle the postgame handshake. Jim Harbaugh enraged Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz for giving him a quick handshake and a hard backslap after a 2011 game, but that certainly wont be an issue Sunday night.
Ive given absolutely no consideration to the postgame hand shake or bear hug or anything else, John said. I havent thought about that for one second. Have you, Jim?
I have not, Jim confirmed.MORE IN Wire SportsFLORHAM PARK, N.J. Calvin Pace cant stand training camp. Full StoryBOSTON James Loney knows it always feels better having a lucky hit at the right time. Full StoryRIO DE JANEIRO Its not a good idea to give Ronda Rousey some extra motivation. Full Story
