Gear Question
I haven't ridden with clipless pedals yet....
I haven't ridden with clipless pedals yet. I want to get some because I do a couple of long (30 mile +) rides per week. But I also use my bike for short trips to the store or the beach. I don't want to have to wear bike shoes every time I use the bike. Will the "other" side of the clipless pedal accommodate my sandals or sneakers?
Damon Salter
No, the back side of this pedal is not intended for use at any distance. I recommend looking at the PD-A530 SPD Dual Platform Bike Pedal, it is a combo SPD (2-hole) road pedal plus a platform on the flip side. Another good choice is the PD-M324, it is also dual platform but has a more traditional design to it. The PD-M324 is available on Real Cyclist: http://www.realcyclist.com/roadbike/Shimano-PD-M324-SPD-Dual-Platform-Pedal/SHI0099M.html

What makes the EIT unique? (3/3)
Innovating innovation governance: the EIT´s facilitating role - by Jose Manuel Leceta - EIT Director
Building upon previous the two editorials, this third and last one of this first series focuses on the uniqueness of the partnership approach adopted by the EIT with its Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) as conceptualised and delineated by the its founding Governing Board and successfully exemplified with its first three running KICs: Climate-KIC, EIT ICT Labs and KIC InnoEnergy.
Here we refer to foundational features, including the requirement for KICs to establish themselves as legal entities, run as a business, 'smart support' allocated competitively on an annual basis by the EIT against long term framework partnership agreements, etc. All these issues being considered, one finds that much inspiration for the way in which the EIT allocates annually its grants has been taken from both the business and venture capital world.
Indeed, while firms have always been considered important to make innovation happen, the EIT is unique as it has adopted business and portfolio management practices in shaping innovative innovation policies, including partner firms' involvement in the governance of the KICs together with their knowledge triangle partners: higher education and research. In so doing, business firms are active players within the partnership and not only project implementers. KICs are unique, not traditional R&D project consortia, as they form a Board which appoint a CEO with clear targets. The Chairman of the EIT Governing Board, Alexander von Gabain, refers to the KICs as 'innovation factories', which is as economic as fortunate.
Most dynamic sectors, opt for contract-based partnerships
A first, paradoxical observation comes from the literature on strategy technology alliances, extensively studied by Hagedoorn (2002); which on the basis of evidence collected by MERIT Mastrict University since the 1960's demonstrates that, high tech and dynamic sectors opt principally for pure contractual arrangements for collaborative innovation while joint ventures (and new joint ventures with legal personality) are more frequent in mature and traditional sectors.
Consequently, the requirement for KICs to establish themselves as legal entities could appear at first sight as contradicting the natural choice for the EIT to establish its main operations in helping partner excellent knowledge and innovation communities. It was a deliberate choice, however, on the understanding that the effort and time invested to set up the three running KICs will be offset with rewarding factors such as like long term stability, autonomy and flexibility in their running as businesses. On the other hand, we will see that, once fully set-up and operational their prospects are huge: KICs are 'living partnerships', dynamic networks and open hotspots.
Indeed, beyond efforts to reduce fragmentation of the European Research Area that are running in parallel to policy experimentation aimed at shaping more efficient innovation instruments regarding both leverage of private support, on the one hand, and alignment of multilevel innovation policy agendas at EU, national and regional level on the other.
Leverage of private support and increased commitment of business firms, both existing and new, is very much key in order to narrow down the so-called European 'innovation gap' compared to the US as, excluding defense, public R&D support per capita in Europe is already larger than that of US citizens: the challenge lies in the definition of better policies able to leverage more successfully much larger private support. The EIT's KICs bring a refreshingly new approach, as business involvement is on the rise, contrary to the trend observed in many other European programmes.
Regarding policy alignment, the Ernst and Young report presented President Barroso in May 2012 with "The power of simplicity: Towards a smarter and streamlined innovation policy in the EU". This report underlines the urgency to radically change the limited approach the EU has taken so far in fostering innovation at a European level. Furthermore, the report positions the EIT promisingly, whereby KICs operate autonomously in synergy with other instruments, not through top-down programming but through bottom-up policy alignment (see Figure 01). By putting the KICs in the driving seat, the EIT facilitates the KICs who themselves decide on the offerings at different levels matching the knowledge dynamics of the communities. In exchange, national governments may find it easier and interesting to entrust management of programmes to professional and neutral partnerships while they benefit from KICs as European gateways, as illustrated by the German approach to the 'Software campus' through EIT ICT Labs.
Co-creation requires a facilitating, yet demanding support
Business taking part in KIC governance is certainly one of the factors. On the other hand, EIT's approach is that of a facilitator, nor a controller, well beyond a more traditional if not simplistic relationship between grant beneficiaries and administrator. This is consistent with the emphasis on results and simplification of EIT operations. In other words, compliance of public expenditure is a necessary but not sufficient condition, as ultimately EIT's partnership with its KICs is neither about expenditure in inputs but rather investment for impact.
In other words, the EIT is not 'another' grant or funding agency. Nor are partners in a KIC mere 'beneficiaries' of a subsidy, as they are expected to contribute beyond co-funding with their intellectual and operational excellence as well as to mobilise resources and support beyond their own means, including programmes and projects competitively gathered by the partners through other European and national and regional schemes. Until now, each euro invested by the EIT has resulted in roughly another euro of national and regional support aligned by the KICs.
All in all, the EIT remains a somehow 'minority' but 'smart' supporter, as support accounts up to 25 % of the KIC's total budge to catalyse KIC operations ultimately fostering 'behavioural additionally' (Gök, A. and Edler, J. (2012), as the communities could not form without such support. EIT support will be discontinued at some point in the long term as the communities are asked to develop sustainable sources of income beyond the minimum 7 years lasting their partnership agreement with EIT.
Compensating for the fact that support is rather limited compared to other European schemes where 50% co-financing is the rule, significant autonomy is allowed to the KICs, which on the one hand makes governance and accountability challenging enough for EIT as the Institute does not fully 'master' the communities but, rather, strategically steer, facilitate progress and fosters cross-KIC synergies closely with Commission services. Interestingly, KICs themselves mirror the EIT's governing structures, as each CEO reports to a General Assembly or Board of partners which organise their collaborative activities around annual Business Plans.
At a strategic level, the EIT Governing Board interacts with the KICs twice per year since 2012. Informally first every mid of the year through a Summer Workshop to which KIC CEOs and General Assembly Chairpersons are invited, thereby respecting their independence while steering developments of common interest in education, entrepreneurship and world-class innovation, etc. Secondly, for a formal annual Hearing in December that influences the EIT Governing Board's yearly KIC grant allocation decision. Facilitating support and dialogue at executive level has been eased since 2011 and the creation of a 'Forum' composed of the KIC CEOs and the EIT Director that meets one month ahead of each meeting of the EIT Governing Board (see Figure 02).
KICs will be on stage at the next EIT Conference planned for 29 and 30 April under the auspices of the Irish Presidency of the EU Council where distinctive features presented above will be animated with testimonials and plans for the EIT to build its future communities and first findings of a study on the EIT's role within the European innovation landscape. This will result in the EIT's second annual publication building upon its first one "Catalysing innovation in the knowledge triangle: practices from the EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities" (EIT, 2012). Thirdly, the Institute will take advantage of the Conference to share and shape its outreach strategy as an Institute for Europe benefiting countries and citizens beyond partners in KICs. The EIT alumni community, the stakeholders forum and fellowship scheme, all elements and building blocks of its Strategic Innovation Agenda (SIA), the EIT being much more than the sum of its KICs: the Institute crystallises the ambition for Europe to approach innovation differently with an increased focus on people.

I have talked to many people who have no idea what the Wii U is as well.....
The marketing has been bad to this point but I have to think they will putting more dollars in to marketing once they have some more software out to try and sell the system.
Well can't get any more confusing than Apple's iPad naming. List in order of release:
iPad 2
The new iPad
Now my question is why the iPad can't run iOS 6, but the iPad can.
Anyways more on topic. I too had the same experience as SNES_Master when it was being rumored about. I wasn't quite sure of what it was and what Nintendo was doing. I thought it could have been an app of sorts until there were more details here about it.

Right. The names of iPhones have been:
iPhone (can you imagine that an iPhone was not 3G capable?)
iPhone 3G
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 4
iPhone 4S
iPhone 5 (so, actually the 6th iteration)
So there has never been a phone named "iPhone 2" or "iPhone 3".

Yup, and now we have the iPhone 5S (or 5C depending on who you believe) coming out in a few months.
Some people thing they might even release both. The 5S being the more expensive version and the 5C being the "colored" cheaper version.
Here is the supposed 5C:
Softmod 4.2 US
Games Played From a HDD
It is not quite the same problem since most iphones do the same things. They all play angry birds the same. Pretty much all games and apps that work on one iphone will work on another. The difference between iphones is more like the difference between a PS3 phat and a PS3 slim.
The Wii U is a brand new console and while it has backward compatibility with the Wii the fact that it is a brand new console and is the only way to play Wii U games is lost on a huge percentage of the population. The Wii had the wii balance board and various other wii peripherals......to many people the Wii U sounds like just another add on to the Wii and the Wii is kind of old and stale in many eyes.
I really like that the Wii U supports all the Wii peripherals, as a consumer I think it is great I can continue to use and get value out of my wiimotes/nunchucks,classic controller/balance board but the casual gamers that made the Wii so successful do not quite get it and the gamepad and asymetric gaming and stuff just do not resonate with them the same as the novelty of the motion controls and wii sports did. Their is nothing compelling them to upgrade to the Wii U even if they did understand what it was....and reality is most of them probably have not played their old Wii in many years so why would they?
I also think the price is an issue. Nintendo is saying they don't think so because the deluxe set has sold much better than the basic set. This is the wrong thinking, people who have bought Wii U are mainly people who were going to buy it no matter what and these people largely felt the deluxe set was the better value. In my eyes the Wii U costs $350 and the basic set is barely a thought. The Ps4 is coming out for $400 soon. Back in the day the choice was a $250 Wii vs a $400-500 360 or PS3 (with not many games). They are going to have to get back to that price differential and not simply by offering a gimped model no one wants if they want to compete. Price is not the only issue though, I never bought a gamecube even though they were cheaper and more powerful back in the day...even when they were $99.
Gimped models I don't understand either. At least when they dropped GBA support on the DS they added features like the camera, sd card, digital store, built in apps with the DSi. With the Wii they dropped gamecube support for almost no reason at all....they reduced the amount of components slightly and did not improve anything...no extra memory or anything. And then they go even further with the Wii Mini.....dumb idea. Make the consoles better and cheaper over time....then dropping BC is not as big a deal....but making them cheaper and crappier over time doesn't make sense to me.
Maybe they should change the name to the Nintendo U......the NU

Nintendo in order to compete, will have to sell their units at a loss to gain market percentage. This is what being a "loss leader" means. As time progresses and proliferation occurs, they will undoubtedly find cheaper ways to produce them. Pretty sure the Wiis were sold at a loss at some point just to get them out there.
Now whether this will pass with the Wii-U, that's another question --- and one that Nintendo should contemplate, otherwise in the long term it will be considered a failed platform regardless of the diehards. The Dreamcast is an excellent example (of the times) when superior hardware doesn't necessarily signify a superior product if it doesn't move out the door.

Kyle Collinsworth tallied 18 points but also had five turnovers for BYU (8-6, 0-1), which has lost four of its last five. Eric Mika registered 17 points and seven rebounds, Matt Carlino had 13 points before fouling out and Tyler Haws put in 11 points but turned the ball over five times and hit just 4-of-15 shots from the field.
The Lions stormed into the intermission, leading 48-33. They knocked down just 40 percent of their attempts from the floor, but had eight more field goal tries than the Cougars, who they outscored, 13-6, from beyond the arc in the frame.
After the break the Lions netted 5-of-8 shots from beyond the arc, part of a 44.8 percent overall shooting performance, to hold on for the win.
BYU hit on 44.4 percent of its shots from the floor but was outscored, 24-9, from 3-point range.

Spendthrift boosts Into Mischief's fee for 2013
Spendthrift Farm announced Thursday that Grade 1 winner Into Mischief, among this season's leading freshman sires, will stand for $10,000 in 2013, an increase from his previously announced fee.
The 7-year-old Harlan's Holiday horse had been scheduled to stand for $7,500, the same as his 2012 fee. Fees will be payable when the foal stands and nurses.
"Into Mischief is having a terrific year with his first crop of 2-year-olds, and the demand from breeders has been overwhelming," Spendthrift general manager Ned Toffey said.
Into Mischief, with seven winners from 22 starters, currently ranks third by progeny earnings among freshman sires with a total of $1,088,048. His three stakes winners are led by Goldencents, who won the Grade 3 Delta Downs Jackpot and also finished second to likely divisional champion Shanghai Bobby in the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes.
Also among Into Mischief's first crop are Sittin at the Bar, winner of the Louisiana Champions Day Lassie Stakes and placed in two other stakes races; and Traskwood Stakes winner Vyjack.
"The fact that he's already had three stakes winners from just [22] 2-year-old starters has gotten a lot of attention, and all three stakes winners have run fast numbers at top racetracks," stallion director Ken Wilkins said.
Into Mischief never finished worse than second in six career starts while earning $597,080. His biggest victory came in the Grade 1 CashCall Futurity in 2007; his three graded stakes placings included a runner-up effort in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes.
Out of the stakes-winning Tricky Creek mare Leslie's Lady, Into Mischief is a half brother to Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Beholder.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will be in the hot seat when he visits Capitol Hill this week. His testimony on the economy and financial conditions will give lawmakers the first chance to publicly question a regulator on alleged rigging of a global benchmark interest rate known as Libor.
A series of bank scandals over the past year — including the collapse of brokerage firm MF Global and missing customer money in the fall and JPMorgan Chase's massive trading losses this spring — have brought financial regulation back into the spotlight. The scandal surrounding U.K.-based Barclays is the latest example of bank misbehavior that has come to light in the aftermath of the financial crisis. It could also be the most far-reaching.
"[JPMorgan CEO] Jamie Dimon was criticized for characterizing their London derivatives losses as a tempest in a teapot. Compared to this, he could be right," said Joseph Engelhard, senior vice president at Capital Alpha Partners, a Washington-based policy forecasting firm. The fallout from the rate-manipulation revelations is only expected to grow as regulators probe other banks for similar wrongdoing and as the economic implications of the scandal become clearer.
Bernanke will deliver his prognosis on the economy when he appears before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday and the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday. His view is expected to be a gloomy one but he will also face a lot of questions about the Libor scandal.
The Fed chairman's appearances on the Hill are often contentious. With Congress gridlocked and the Fed one of the few actors working to correct the economy's course, the central bank's actions aren't always popular with lawmakers.
The testimony comes as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have vowed to investigate the banks as well as the regulators who oversee them.
"Just like the banks and executives they oversee, regulators who were involved should be held to account for any failures to stop wrongdoing that they knew, or should have known about," a group of twelve Democratic senators wrote in a Thursday letter to Attorney General Eric Holder and the members of the Financial Stability Oversight Council. Republican Rep. Randy Neugebauer, who chairs the House Financial Services subcommittee on oversight and investigations, requested transcripts from the New York Fed's communications with Barclays on setting interbank offered rates during the financial crisis. They were published last week.
Bernanke was Fed chairman at the time the alleged rate-rigging was going on, and the documents published by the New York Fed reveal that the Fed Board of Governors was notified of potential rate-rigging in 2008. It's unclear what next steps were taken.
Lawmakers are expected to grill Bernanke on what he knew and when, as well as how the Fed dealt with the reports internally.
His questioning will set the tone for testimony by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner later this month. But Geithner is expected to face even more pointed questioning. He was president of the New York Fed, which is responsible for supervising the U.S. banks that participate in Libor-setting, when the scandal broke. Lawmakers want to look into Geithner's response to the inaccurate submissions and will press him on whether he sought to find out if U.S. banks were engaged in similar behavior.
Documents released by the New York Fed on Friday gave only a partial answer. They made clear that Geithner was aware of the potential manipulation in 2008 and that he recommended policy changes to the Libor submission process to Bank of England governor Mervyn King. But they don't detail Geithner's involvement after he sent the June 1 e-mail.
During his three-and-a-half year tenure as Treasury secretary, Geithner has at times faced criticisms from Democrats and Republicans for being too cozy with Wall Street and for his response to the financial crisis. The Barclays scandal may rekindle some of those old charges.
As a member of the Obama administration, Geithner is likely to be viewed by Republicans as a ripe political target. The Fed is an independent agency and Bernanke was named to the central bank by Obama's Republican predecessor, President George W. Bush.
"I think [Republicans] would probably score fewer points against the administration if they, you know, shoot at Bernanke than if they shoot at Geithner," said Dean Baker, codirector of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
