This is lovely Mikael - but for a person from hilly country it is rather meaningless. Do you have any clips of bicycle rush hour involving hills? Here in Seattle, our very first Bike Box was installed just a couple weeks ago at a hilly intersection. Some days I will see 5 or 6 bikes in a row heading up that hill (usually they pass me). There must be hilly places in the world where you get a true Bicycle Rush Hour on the hills. Sure would love to see that! Here, the hills are one of the excuses bicycle nay-sayers use to argue that "normal" people can't ride bikes. (I'm a 64-year old woman and I ride a bike up and down the hills, but obviously I'm not normal) The rain is the other big excuse; you've got lots of clips demonstrating that in other places, "normal" people ride in the rain.

Here in Edinburgh, cycling is on the increase (slowly, but it is increasing) and Edinburgh is not noted for being flat. As for rain, well of course it never rains in Scotland.
What really put people off cycling in town is motorised traffic, deal with that and people will cycle far more.

Hope we can find time for a bicycle tour!, for example to the university area: http://tinyurl.com/2wbxlep and to the unique bicyclepath along the red district from Utrecht: http://tinyurl.com/2ucrgd5 (Look at the fences to prevent the man walk onto the bicyclepath)
See you tuesday!

A wonderful film, thank you for posting it
Here on the South Coast of England I happily commute the 12 miles to work come rain, sleet or shine. People remark how amazing they think it is but as I keep telling them, apart from a hill in Brighton, it is flat. And a love of real ale means I hardly have a Contodor physique so anyone could do it.
The point is that although there is a Sustrans cycle path, it is useless. A combination of decent infrastructure where appropriate and dropping car-centric policies could make the South Coast a cycling and walking utopia. Our council (as do most Local Authorities) remains stuck in the 1980's however. Sustainable transport here means clearing bottlenecks so cars can go even faster.

Hill cycling: I should video or take a picture of the "côte Berri" or the Parc Avenue bike path in Montreal sometime. Better in the warm months because snow clearing here focuses on the convenience of car drivers above all else, making cycling (and even walking) very inconvenient in the winter.

WASHINGTON D.C. (NEWS CENTER) -- For two decades, Ruth Moore, a veteran from Milbridge, fought to get treatment and benefits after being raped twice by a supervisor while serving in the Navy. Wednesday on Capitol Hill, her case is at the center of efforts to overhaul Veteran's Administration policies regarding such crimes. The Ruth Moore Act was introduced in Congress to force the V-A to grant the necessary benefits.
Under current law, the V-A requires a veteran applying for any sort of disability benefits to demonstrate "proof that an event or stressor happened to them while they were serving in the military."
But in cases of rape and sexual assault that proof, such as a military police report, can be near impossible to obtain. Under the Ruth Moore Act, a statement from the survivor - what's called lay testimony - would be sufficient proof.
"And what we're hearing is not enough people are getitng the assistance they need," says Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, a co-sponsor of the bill. "So we want to make this just as simple as it is for people who suffer PTSD in combat. And we think we can do that through this bill."
While she was on Capitol Hill, Ruth Moore also delivered a petition to the V-A with 160-thousand signatures asking the VA to streamline the claims process for sexual trauma victims.

I dont know if this has been brought up before, it seems obvious to me, but. . .
make a small white-on-black image of the pirate fish (obviously just copy the pirate fish wallpaper, but perhaps copy and paste it BEFORE opening up the wallpaper, so it will be a small image you copied), and make sure the background of your screen is black. . .
. . .(windows users) go into your control panel, under display/screensaver, use the "3d flying objects" / "settings" and "textured flag", make the texture the pirate fish image.
THEN when your screensaver kicks in, you will have the pirate fish swimming across your screen.
please forgive me if this has been brought up before, although i have been a convert from day one (ever sisnce that first pencil drawing), i havent been on the message board until now.
(OH, and you MAY need to reverse the pirate fish so it doesn't look like he/she is swimming backwards).

One in six consumers fall victim to identity theft crimes.
Unfortunately, the telephone and widespread Internet access have created an effective tool for the fraudsters, pointed out the Utah Division of Consumer Protection.
The criminals, phishers, frequently trick people into providing personal and financial information by pretending to be from a legitimate company, government agency or organization, continued the division of consumer protection.
The most common form of phishing involves e-mail messages. The sender asks targeted consumers to confirm personal information for falsified, but plausible reasons.
Typically, the e-mail contains a link to a phony website with sophisticated graphics and images.
In one popular phisher tactic, e-mail senders claim they are from the fraud departments of reputable companies, points out the consumer protection division.
Indicating that the company is conducting an investigation into an identity theft case involving the consumer, the message asks consumers to verify personal and financial information.
Legitimate credit card issuers and companies may contact customers when unusual patterns of activity appear, noted the division of consumer protection.
However, legitimate credit card issuers and companies generally ask customers if they made the transactions in question without requesting account numbers or personal information from the potential identity theft victims, stressed the state consumer protection agency.
To avoid becoming a victim of phishing and identity theft crimes, the consumer protection division encourages Carbon County residents to:
Never click on links within e-mails requesting personal information.
Fraudsters use the links to lure people to phony addresses that look like the websites of the company, organization or agency the phishers are impersonating.
To determine whether an e-mail message is legitimate, people should contact the company or agency in question directly by directly by telephone or use a search engine to locate and then visit the addresses of the official websites.
Beware of pharming.
In the latest version of online identity theft, a virus or malicious program is secretly planted in a computer and hijacks the individual's Web browser, pointed out the state consumer protection division.
When the consumer types in the address of a legitimate website, the virus or malicious program tranfers the Internet visitor to a fake copy of the site.
Personal information like account numbers provided at phony websites or during fraudulent telephone conservations can be stolen and fraudulently used by identity thieves, cautioned the state division of consumer protection.
Never enter personal information in a pop-up screen.
Sometimes a phisher will direct you to a real company's, organization's, or agency's Web site, but then an unauthorized pop-up screen created by the scammer will appear, with blanks in which to provide your personal information. If you fill it in, your information will go to the phisher. Legitimate companies, agencies and organizations don't ask for personal information via pop-up screens. Install pop-up blocking software to help prevent this type of phishing attack.
Protect computers with updated spam filters, anti-virus and anti-spyware software as well as a firewall.
A spam filter can help reduce the number of phishing e-mails people receive.
Anti-virus software scans incoming messages for troublesome files.
Anti-spyware software looks for programs that have been installed on a computer and tracks online activities.
The software programs protect Internet users against pharming and phishing techniques.
Firewalls prevent hackers and unauthorized communications from entering computers. Protection is especially important for individuals with broadband connections because computers are open to the Internet when on switches are activated.
People should look for programs that offer automatic updates and take advantage of free patches manufacturers offer to fix newly discovered problems, noted the consumer protection division.
For recommendations on securing computers residents may visit www.onguardonline.gov and www.staysafeonline.org.
Open only expected e-mail attachments.
Even if messages appear to be from familiar sources, e-mails could be from scammers and contain programs that will steal personal information.
Carbon County residents should report suspected phishing incidents to involved companies or agencies, emphasized the division of consumer protection.
Local consumers may also report related problems to law enforcement agencies through the National Fraud Information Center/Internet Fraud Watch at www.fraud.org.
The national fraud information center's toll-free telephone number is 1-800-876-7060.
For additional advice and information about how to place a fraud alert on files at credit reporting bureaus, Carbon County residents may contact the Federal Trade Commission's clearinghouse at www.consumer.gov/idtheft .
The FTC clearinghouse's telephone number is 1-877-438-4338.

Wisconsin voters are going to the polls today to cast votes in the recall elections for Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and four Republican state senators.
Government Accountability Board Director Kevin Kennedy predicts a turnout of about 30 to 35 percent of voters today.
However, Kennedy said he expects turnout in the June 5 general recall election will top the number of voters who went to the polls for the November 2010 gubernatorial election.
Kennedy said on "UpFront with Mike Gousha" Sunday that it is difficult to know how many voters will head to the polls today because the state has no historic precedence for recall elections.
Still, Kennedy said he expects the primaries to garner more attention than the April elections and that the June general elections will see a turnout of more than 50 percent, higher than the 2010 gubernatorial election.
"This is a special election," Kennedy said on Sunday's show, which is produced in conjunction with WisPolitics.com. "It has got people roiled up on both sides."
Walker has a token primary challenge on the ballot by activist Arthur Kohl-Riggs, a self-described "Lincoln Republican."
Four Democrats are vying for that party's nomination to challenge Walker. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has been leading in most polls, followed by former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, Secretary of State Douglas La Follette and State Sen. Kathleen Vinehout.
The other statewide primary pits Mahlon Mitchell, the head of the Madison firefighters' union, against private investigator Ira Robins and "protest" candidate Isaac Weix in the race for lt. governor.
Kennedy also explained that voters will be able to cross party lines today and vote for candidates from different parties as long as they only vote once for each office. He said each recall election is its own individual event.
The polls will close at 8 p.m.

PAWTUCKET—A former teacher, coach and public school activist says she objects to a proposal to have a Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) at Shea and Tolman High Schools and wants the School Committee to reconsider its previous vote of support.
Maggi Rogers, a longtime city resident and the mother of two Tolman graduates, says she was "gravely concerned" after learning of the School Committee's vote last week to support a memorandum of understanding for a Marine CorpsJROTC to be implemented at two out of the three city high schools.
At last Tuesday's meeting, the School Committee voted 7 to 0 to support the plan that will likely pave the way for the JROTC programs to start in the fall of 2014. Schools Superintendent Deborah Cylke said she was a strong believer in the benefits and opportunities afforded by JROTC and had reached out to all of the local military branches shortly after being hired in Pawtucket.

Up until recently, you were more likely to find a ladylike bag buried in your grandmother's closet than swinging from trendsetters' armsÂ--but those days are over, dear readers. The prim-and-proper purse has gone from overlooked to on-trend and is currently gearing up for its moment in the spotlight. That's right, these elegantly structured options have made their (perfectly poised) way to the forefront of the handbag scene. While we spotted this sophisticated accessory on ladies like Rachel Bilson and Diane Kruger back in June, this polished accent made an equally graceful appearance as a key component on the fall runways. Major designersÂ--including Yves Saint Laurent's Stefano Pilati, Louis Vuitton's Marc Jacobs, and Lanvin's Alber ElbazÂ--used these structured leather shoulder bags to compliment their equally refined F/W 10 collections.
While these bags are spot-on investments for fall, they are likewise a perfectly stellar choice for upgrading your end-of-summer wear! Take, for example, British TV presenter and correspondent Fearne Cotton, who was spotted earlier this month carrying Mulberry's Neely Shoulder Bag ($995) in Steel Patent. The vintage-inspired blue/gray satchel adds polish to her Mulberry Betty Bow Shorts and Mesh Zig Zag Jersey T-Shirt ($31) from her eponymous line, giving her outfit a classic touch. Additionally, we like how Cotton used the gorgeous bagÂ--which was inspired by and named after Neely O'Hara, the best character in Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the DollsÂ--in contrast with her edgier footwear choice: KG by Kurt Geiger's Lupin Black Sandals ($45) from the S/S 09 collection. All in all, Cotton's summer-in-the-city apparel proves this unfussy accessory is the perfect pick to both smarten up your warm-weather wardrobe and to nod to what's ahead for fall, rendering it a must-have item you absolutely need to Go Buy Now!
1. Rebecca Minkoff Alligator Belle Bag ($350) in Brown
Ever since Rebecca Minkoff launched her handbag line in 2005, we've had an eye out for her dazzling leather goods, which are ideal for a stylish city-girl on the go. Thus, we were hardly surprised to come across this first-rate day-to-night-worthy offering that we can't wait to get our ladylikeÂ--ahemÂ--paws on. Not only does it boast a turn-lock closure (one of the defining aspects of this accessory trend), but the terra-cotta hue conjures up images of Hermes orange, a reference that is toujours chic! Wear it for day with a swingy floral skirt, or, if you're feeling bold, pair it with a Bermuda shorts-suit for a directional urban look.
2. CC Skye Town & Country Bag ($750, 818.506.3235)
Just like CC Skye's dazzling costume jewelry, this black-and-taupe bag comes with a signature dose of glam. While its shape nods to the classic doctor bag, its gold hardware and high-contrast neutral palette make it decidedly modern. Use it to elevate a crème knit suit for a Dolce & Gabbana-like day look, or pair it with a draped-shoulder LBD and elbow-length gloves for a Lanvin-esque evening ensemble.
3. Mulberry Neely Shoulder Bag ($995) in Nude Patent
We just can't get enough of Mulberry's handbagsÂ--but who can blame us? Their F/W 10 collection is truly exquisite, boasting stellar finds like this chic flap bag that can be worn both over-the-shoulder or as a messenger bag. In addition to nude, this must-have offering comes in navy/steel or red leather (a cutting-edge combination that has already sparked our radar for fall), plus there's a larger leopard tote too! Wear any of the colors now with your favorite summery dresses, then pair the patent bags with some wide-leg tweed pants come fall: either way, you'll look ridiculously chic. That said, if you're looking for something just as sophisticated that won't require quite so much financial investment, we'd recommend Fiorelli's Costa Shoulder Bag ($76) which also boasts a cute, braided-chain strap.
4. Salvatore Ferragamo Black and White Leather Handbag ($1250, 800.628.8916)
Ferragamo has always been a go-to for ladylike essentialsÂ--like buckle flats and bow-bedecked pumpsÂ--and this stunning chain-strap satchel is no exception to the well-mannered rule. We love the classic black-and-white color combo and the sleek, streamline design; it's a brilliant investment piece you'll truly have, and use, forever. Style itÂ--or Topshop's Bow 2 Tone Bag ($55) for a more affordable versionÂ--with a white short-sleeve button-down, mid-calf bell skirt, and espadrilles to channel Marge Sherwood's (Gwyneth Paltrow) in The Talented Mr. Ripley look.
5. Kimchi Blue Buckle Bag ($58) in black
Our most wallet-friendly find of the day, this unfussy Kimchi Blue bag is a no-brainer when it comes to dabbling in this trend. The structured shape and gold closure is spot-on for this demure accessory, plus its patent-like sheen renders it surprisingly versatile! Use it to add polish to an off-duty ensemble like Cotton's, or pair it with a white lace dress for a flawless after-hours look.
6. Miu Miu Pinched Ruched Bag ($1695)
While most of today's picks are of darker hues, Miu Miu's pale pink iteration is a refreshing option that you can easily mix with your summer basics or work into your wardrobe come fall. Wear it now with a denim button-down and pleated skirt, or take a page from Miu Miu's sixties-inspired F/W 10 runway and use it to accent an orange-sherbet shift dress or a lime green puff-shoulder top. Or, to get a semblance of Miu Miu's swingin' panache without breaking the bank, try snatching up Paul's Boutique Phoebe Quilted Bag ($47) or High Fashion's 4803 Quilted Shoulder Bag ($130)Â--both equally adorable, ladylike picks.
7. Club Monaco Eleanor Shoulder Bag ($129) in Aviator Navy
Club Monaco initially sparked our interest in their F/W 10 collection when we noted that photographer/blogger extraordinaire Garance Dore shot the looks for their wonderfully curated campaign, which features trailblazers like Becka Diamond and Byrdie Bell. While we can hardly wait to get our hands on their ravishing silver lamé dresses, camel coats, and tweeds galore, we're equally excited about Club Monaco's ladylike accessories, including this nearly noir chainstrap bag. The long ribbon and chain strap echoes both this season's offerings from Lanvin as well as the classic Chanel bagÂ--always a A+ choiceÂ--while the dark navy hue is a chic deviation from your usual black.Â--Liza Kaplan

|Cobb Top Candidate For USM AD Job
|Written by Staff Reports
|Wednesday, 18 April 2012 07:17
The University of Southern Mississippi has narrowed its list of candidates for athletic director to a handful" of names, according to USM spokesman Jim Coll. And the Hattiesburg American has learned that Appalachian State athletic director Charlie Cobb has emerged as a strong contender for the
Athletics Director job at USM. And according to USM spokesman Jim Coll, the school hopes to have "a new athletic director by the end of the semester."
Cobb, who is in his seventh year at Appalachian State University, has had a successful run with the Mountaineers. Appalachian State's football program won three consecutive FCS championships from 2005-07 while consistently breaking attendance records in the process. According to his ASU biography, Cobb has nearly doubled the school's athletic budget, from $7.5 to $14.5 million, during his tenure at the Boone, N.C., university. And thanks to his impressive resume, Cobb has emerged as a strong contender for the job heading into the interview process."
Jeff Hammond currently serves as the school's interim athletic director, taking over the job after Richard Giannini retired from the position in January after 13 years.

Background information
During the Conference of the Parties (COP15) held in December 2009 in Copenhagen developed countries pledged
to provide new and additional resources, including forestry and investments, approaching USD 30 billion for
the period 2010 - 2012 and with balanced allocation between mitigation and adaptation. This collective
commitment has come to be known as 'fast-start finance'.
Following up on this pledge, the Conference of the Parties in Cancún, in December 2010, took note of
this collective commitment by developed country Parties and reaffirmed that funding for adaptation will be
prioritized for the most vulnerable developing countries, such as the least developed countries, small island
developing States and Africa.
Further, the COP invited developed country Parties to submit information on the resources provided to achieve
this goal, including ways in which developing country Parties access these resources by May 2011, 2012 and
At COP 17 Parties welcomed the Fast-start Finance provided by developed countries as part of their collective
commitment to provide new and additional resources approaching USD 30 billion for the period 2010–2012,
and noted the information provided by developed country Parties on the fast-start finance they have provided
and urged them to continue to enhance the transparency of their reporting on the fulfillment of their
fast-start finance commitments.
At COP 18, Parties acknowledged the delivery of Fast-start Finance by developed country Parties to fulfil
their collective Fast-start Finance commitment, and invited developed country Parties to expedite its
full disbursement.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- As the flu spreads, the amount of available influenza vaccine has started to dwindle, as more people seek out a flu shot to protect them against this year's nasty strains of the virus.
NEWS CENTER contacted several pharmacies in the greater Portland area, and found many had little or no flu vaccine available. The Maine Center for Disease Control says that has more to do with distribution issues than with a shortage of the vaccine.
"There is flu vaccine around, and the question then becomes one of the distribution of the vaccine," stated state epidemiologist, Dr. Stephen Sears. "If you go to one place, it might not be there and you should ask that pharmacy to try to get it for you or when they can get it, because all over the country there is not an overall shortage. So there is a supply, it just might be short in one place."
The Maine CDC says they have plenty of vaccine available to provide to medical centers, clinics and doctors offices, but they do not provide the vaccines to commercial pharmacies.
"Some of my stores are out, and we are restocking them now, so there will be more available," said Joe Bruno, owner of the Community Pharmacy chain. "We pre-ordered our allotment plus some, and we have been buying it on the spot market now because all the manufacturers are pretty much out, so you go to different distributors to try to find it right now."
Bruno says some of his more northern stores still had a decent supply on hand, so he planned to take some of their stock and bring it to stores that are out to help meet the demand.
He says they are seeing people come in to get their flu shots who may not in a normal flu season.
"We're up 30% over last year, yet we're ordering more right now to make sure that we can continue," he said. "It hasn't fully hit Maine yet. People have time to get immunized now."
The Maine CDC says it takes ten days to two weeks for the vaccine to begin providing protection. With the flu already widespread in Maine, and the peak season yet to come, they are urging everyone to get their flu shot.
"There is no question this is one of the worst years for the flu that we have seen in five, if not ten years," said Dr. Sears. "Our emergency rooms are filled up. Our hospitals are filled up. Our doctors offices are filled up."
"Unfortunately people die from the flu," he added. "It is one of the reasons we spend a lot of time to try to get people vaccinated."

In middle school, goth meant black lipstick from Wet 'n Wild and an oversized Marilyn Manson t-shirt. Lily Collins, however, gave the moody genre a glam twist at the British Fashion Awards this week. The actress' beauty team balanced her oxblood lips with glowing skin and grungy '90s hair. Turns out that little tricks--like skipping blush and blow-drying hair on a low setting--are the keys to looking this cool. If only we'd known that in sixth grade.Skin
"Makeup today is all about plumped, glowing skin," says makeup artist Mary Greenwell, so she prepped Collins' face with Chanel's Hydramax + Active Nutrition Cream ($80) and used her fingers to smooth on Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Supreme Foundation ($42) in Porcelain Ivory. She swept Dior's Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen ($37) under the actress' eyes and used Tom Ford's Shade and Illuminate ($75) instead of blush. "Apply the highlighter on the brow bone and the temples, and lightly contour under the cheekbones," she says. "There is only one area where shine is unacceptable--under the eyes." So she dusted on Dior's Diorskin Forever Pressed Powder ($42) in Light 001.
Greenwell began by applying Armani's Eyes to Kill Intense Waterproof Eyeshadow ($32) in Rose Titanium on Collins' eyelids. For a deep gray outline she used Estee Lauder's Pure Color Eyeshadow ($20) in Black Crystals--"black will blend into a gray color, but stay dark"--and pressed the shadow into the lash line, winging it up and out. Greenwell loaded Collins' lashes with Tom Ford's Extreme Mascara ($42), but didn't do much to her already perfect brows: "I used the darkest shade in Chanel's Perfect Brows ($65) in Brun to extend them out, but not fill them in."
Greenwell lined Collins' lips with Laura Mercier's Lip Pencil ($20) in Red Chocolate before applying Tom Ford's Lip Color ($48) in Black Orchid directly from the tube.
Hairstylist Lisa Eastwood wanted to create "grunge-inspired '90s hair," so she layered Shu Uemura's Liquid Fabric ($38) and Tasai Cream ($38) into Collins' damp hair. "The trick is in how you blow-dry," Eastwood says. "Use high heat on a low speed and dry with your fingers for a raggy look." Eastwood then created a side part, tucked the hair behind one ear, and set with a heavy amount of L'Oreal's Elnett Hairspray ($13). "It's a carefree look, so it's important not to over-style the hair," she says. And there you have it! Everything you need to score the fancy goth look--moody attitude not included.

GREAT BEND Today is the first day of school, but not just for students.
It also is the first day for 80 percent of Carthage Central School Districts principals.
Deep in my heart, I always wanted to be an elementary principal, said Richard P. Weber, Carthage Elementarys new principal.
Mr. Weber, who replaces Jennifer L. Vail, still will serve as the districts fine arts director. He said he was faced with a big learning curve as he worked on student schedules and learning modules.
Its such a busy and exciting time, he said.
He started his career 29 years ago at the same elementary school as an art teacher. At the time, Principal William H. Tribol took Mr. Weber under his wing.
Mr. Weber said he went to great lengths to get Mr. Tribols desk into his office.
It has a few bumps and scratches, but its a solid piece of furniture, he said. Its like having Bill back again.
At West Carthage Elementary, interim Principal Anne Marie Bertram is gearing up for the year. She replaces Principal Judith A. Duppert.
Her position here is part of an administrative internship. She said her former position as a Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services network team member helped her prepare for the job.
My goal is to assist teachers with the Common Core changes in mathematics and (English language arts), and make sure its an exciting year for both the teachers and the students, Mrs. Bertram said.
She said she is nervous because it is her first year as a principal, but she is excited about the energy in the building.
Black River Elementary Principal Jennifer Myers, who replaces Staci A. Kline, comes to the school with experience as a former Jefferson-Lewis BOCES curriculum coordinator and South Lewis High School principal.
In addition to hiring new teachers, she has been meeting her staff and Black River families. I feel our No. 1 priority is to provide the best educational experience to the new students, she said.
Carthage Middle Schools new principal, Alicia A. Henry, was a former Jefferson-Lewis BOCES network team leader. She also has experience as a special education teacher.
Im not new to the game, she said.
And, just like Mrs. Bertram, her primary focus is on supporting her teachers.
I think that all schools in New York state are in a period of transition, Mrs. Henry said. My motto is to support (teachers) with accountability. Theyre the ones that make the curriculum come alive.
Mrs. Henry replaces interim Principal Peter E. Stratton, who was hired in August to serve until June 30 while a replacement for former Principal Andrea K. Miller was found. Mrs. Miller resigned a year ago to become the districts assistant superintendent.
Mrs. Henry is not the only new administrator in the middle school. The district recently hired Kylie Buker as the assistant principal.
After a week of finalizing teacher and student schedules, Mrs. Henry is ready for the school year to begin.
Im incredibly excited, she said. Everyone has welcomed me with open arms.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
The Atomic Redster WC 150 is a full-on racing machine, developed by and for skiers at the top of their discipline.
The Atomic Redster WC 150 is a full-on racing machine, developed by and for skiers at the top of their discipline. It has an ultra-stiff 150 flex and Carbon Spine that's up to six times stiffer than normal plastic, which means every turn you carve can be extremely precise and aggressive. The sole is now lifted like the WC 170 (so you'll need an authorized Atomic dealer to bring it back to DIN standard). The WC 150 also features a narrow 95mm last for an authentic race-room fit and super-precise foot hold. Our unique Memory Fit technology gives it a truly personalized fit. And the Rotational Cuff, Micro Cuff Alignment and three interchangeable Flex Frames allow you to tune your boot to your discipline, style and physique. The ideal custom ski boot for serious racers.
Carbon-reinforced areas of the cuff and shell provide maximum power transfer and support on steep terrain, while still maintaining feel and sensitivity at the front of the boot.
The next step in boot fitting. Creates a completely personalized shell, cuff and liner in a matter of minutes.
Interchangeable Flex Frames tune the feel underfoot - with three grades of hardness the racer can adjust the sensitivity of the sole.
Rotational Power Control allows the cuff to rotate up to 5 mm in each direction for lightning-fast turn initiation, plus customized control and comfort.

By Joan PowellPR rep- Castle Country ATV AssociationWellington
For the past couple of months, I've had the opportunity to be a part of an Eagle Scout project. I just wanted to share my thoughts about that experience.
Due to the massive amounts of water that our county had received in the past couple of years, a popular trail in our area for ATVs had suffered some major wash-outs in the drainages. An attempt was made last fall to do the repair work needed to re-open this trail, but the work was not able to be completed before winter.
I do not want to take credit in any form for the following events, but I had had a fleeting thought, "I wondered if there was a young man who needed an Eagle Scout project, and would an undertaking such as this qualify for the criteria accepted as an Eagle Scout project?" So I suggested it to Jaydon Mead, and Josh Winkler from the BLM. They thought that it would qualify. So the next step was to find a young man willing to take this on. It didn't take much effort at all to find this young man.
As I watched the events unfold, I thought a number of times, "This is the right young man for this particular undertaking". It was rewarding for me to watch him think, plan, and carry out all the necessary steps involved in making this happen. I can't say enough good about the support that was given to him from his family, friends, local government agencies, and our local ATV club (Castle Country 014V Association), his Bishop, other Bishops from other wards, and his Scout leader.
His name is Joshua Barlow, and he is from Wellington. He attended several meetings, both for planning the project, and presenting it to some different groups. He approached different entities for donations, he made a great effort to let people know that he was doing this project, and tried different means to solicit help for it. It was a success because of his efforts, and the efforts of his family in supporting him.
One item that is worth mentioning in this is, two government agencies worked together on this project. That is not a common thing at all. Usually it takes a fire for two agencies to come together. So my compliments to Makeda Hansen from DNR, (the Department of Natural Resources), and Jaydon Mead and Josh Winkler from the BLM, (Bureau of Land Management). It's been a pleasure to work with these three people, and to learn about policies from them.
From the time of arrival on Friday, April 20, at 8:00 a.m. to get things ready to go, until we got back to our trucks, and loaded up to go home at 9:00 p.m. that evening, (I mention these times because there was culverts to haul, and ATV's and ATV trailers to gather up), Josh had planned for people to come at noon and he wanted to have things in order and ready to go for them when they came. Again on Saturday, April 21, we met at 8 a.m. and we quit and was ready to go home at 8 p.m. that evening, so we chalked up 25 hours of service work time. But then again you have to multiply that by the number of people who showed up to help. There were over 12 on Friday, and 39 on Saturday. What wonderful support! And although the project is still not complete, as there are still a couple of more culverts to install, and a fence to build, you can travel much more safely on this trail to the upper waterfall, and can make it to the cabin at the end of the trail.
I just wanted to say thank you to BLM and DNR for allowing us to keep this trail, as to my understanding, it is the ONLY legally designated ATV trail in our county. I wanted to say thank you to the Barlow family for their efforts.
I'm not sure they completely understand the magnitude of community service they have rendered to our area. I wanted to say thank you to all the people who showed up to help. It was hard work, but the company of good people made the two days so enjoyable. I wanted to say thank you to the members of Castle Country OHV Association for coming and supporting this young man, as we use this trail both on personal time, and for an annual club ride/dinner at the lower waterfall once a year. We even went so far as to bringing in the Northern Utah ATVers last fall and took them to the lower falls as part of a ride we sponsored. We probably would have taken them to the cabin, but the trail was in such disrepair, we didn't want to chance someone getting hurt. But I certainly wouldn't hesitate taking them in now.
I might mention one more thing. The Barlow family do not have ATVs, but they ride when someone will lend them machines, so for them to take on this project says a lot.

Contrary to popular belief, not all of Utah's tax exemptions benefit the state's business community.
For example, businesses receive 47 percent of the state's total annual sales exemptions, indicated the Utah Taxpayers Association's latest analysis of statewide data.
On the other hand, primary residences in Utah receive a 45 percent exemption on property taxes.
The annual exemption virtually shifts the $204.7 million in taxes toward different types of property.
The majority of the annual primary residence exemption is shifted toward locally and centrally assessed businesses, pointed out the independent public policy organization.
The remainder of the $204.7 is shifted toward secondary residences, unimproved property and agriculture.
Unlike sales and income taxes, the exemptions in question automatically increase rates for all property taxpayers unless funded by a state general fund appropriation, noted the association.
Under Utah's truth-in-taxation law, local governments are guaranteed the same amount of property assessment revenues collected in the previous year plus new growth.
When an exemption is created, certified tax rates are automatically increased on all property owners.
If the 45 percent primary residence exemption were eliminated, property tax rates would decrease on average by roughly 30 percent.
The decreased rate would apply to all property owners, including primary residences, indicated the taxpayers association.
Primary residences would experience a significant increase since the decreased rate would be more than offset by an 81.8 percent jump in the taxable value of primary residences.
Overall, primary residential property taxes at locations statewide would increase on average by about 27 percent.
Vehicle fee payments are based on fixed schedules, not on market values or property tax rates. Therefore, the vehicle fees in lieu of taxes are not directly impacted by the 45 percent primary residence exemption.
In addition to the 45 percent primary residence exemption, homeowners in Utah do not pay taxes on non-vehicle personal property, pointed out the public policy organization.
But businesses pay personal property taxes on items exempted for homeowners, including computers and related equipment, kitchen appliances and furniture, concluded the independent public policy organization.
Elected officials, the spending lobby and the media frequently refer to $566 million in business sales tax breaks even though more than one-half of the designated amount is actually not private enterprise related, pointed out the independent public policy organization.
The frequently cited sales tax exemption total includes the $28.4 million for energy used in the manufacturing process.
But not included in the total amount are the reduced sales taxes on energy usage for residences.
Households in Utah presently pay 2 percent state sales tax on energy consumption instead of the normal 4.75 percent, added the association.
The decreased rate reduces sales taxes by $27 million per year.
If the amount were included in the total amounts, non-business sales tax exemptions increase to 55 percent of the state's total.
Taxes should occur at the final stage of consumption because assessing business inputs during various phases of production tends to hide the cost of government, maintained the association.
Currently, only certain business inputs are exempted from sales taxes, including manufacturing equipment, energy used during manufacturing process and agricultural machinery.
Municipally operated power companies are currently exempt from the majority of sales taxes on inputs, added the association. The municipal suppliers and PacifiCorp do not actually compete for consumers. But PacifiCorp customers have sales and property taxes on business inputs imbedded in utility bills while municipal consumers do not for the most part.
If business inputs are subject to sales taxes, then pyramiding occurs as assessments are applied at all stages of production, concluded the independent public policy organization.

The org.apache.commons.jxpath package defines a simple interpreter of an expression language called XPath. JXPath applies XPath expressions to graphs of objects of all kinds: JavaBeans, Maps, Servlet contexts, DOM etc, including mixtures thereof.
Consider this example:
Address address = (Address)JXPathContext.newContext(vendor). getValue("locations[address/zipCode='90210']/address");
This XPath expression is equivalent to the following Java code:
Address address = null; Collection locations = vendor.getLocations(); Iterator it = locations.iterator(); while (it.hasNext()){ Location location = (Location)it.next(); String zipCode = location.getAddress().getZipCode(); if (zipCode.equals("90210")){ address = location.getAddress(); break; } }
XPath was standardized by W3C and is used in both XSLT and XPointer.
If you want to find out more about XPath, a good place to start is an excellent XPath Tutorial by W3Schools
The official definition of XPath by W3C can be found at XML Path Language (XPath) Version 1.0
Primary applications of JXPath are in scripting: JSP and similar template/script based technologies. However, programmers who prefer XML-flavored APIs, should consider JXPath as an alternative to other expression languages as well. JXPath is a must-have tool for those who work with mixtures of Java objects and XML and need to frequently traverse through graphs of those.
JXPath documentation currently contains:

What does Obama mean when he declares his intentions to fundamentally transform the country?
Barack Obama's second term is now officially underway. His speech on Monday, in addition to his first term, makes it all too clear that his promise to "fundamentally transform" America is one promise that he's determined to keep.
Sadly, and incredibly, far too many moderate and conservative-minded folks — including commentators! — still fail to grasp exactly what Obama meant when he made this now-infamous pledge. Not Rush Limbaugh, though. Rush most certainly did grasp Obama's meaning. Moreover, he was one of a relatively small handful of prominent figures on the right who had the backbone to translate its meaning out loud.
Obama, Rush told his listeners, wants to ruin the country. This is why he hoped that Obama would fail.
Rush knew what those first Western philosophers from before the time of Socrates knew: Fundamental transformation involves the extinction of one being and its replacement by another.
That which has been fundamentally transformed essentially ceases to be.
Rush, along with others, has repeatedly insisted that Obama wishes to destroy the country as we have always known it. Not quite. Obama, rather, wishes to destroy the country as he has always known it. There is a huge difference between these two perceptions of America.

While we realize the approach of February fourteenth can stir fear, adoration, or other inexplicable emotions in the hearts of many, for us it simply reignites our desire for one of our greatest sartorial loves: lingerie. A key staple for any wardrobe, pretty lingerie is a necessary and instrumental tool for bequeathing a little bit of loveliness to your ensemble, or adding a hint of sex appeal peeking out from beneath your favorite tank or tee. Like a shiny bauble or bejeweled accessory, a lacy bra or winsome nightie can be undeniably alluring and make you feel as though you indulged in a wonderfully luxurious treat.
While our devotion to underpinnings is year-round, it is especially current in light of the lingerie craze seen on the spring runways. Underwear as outerwear emerged as a theme at a few of our favorite shows and surfaced as particularly noteworthy at Christian Dior. Taking inspiration from Lauren Bacall and the screen sirens of forties film noir, Galliano sent his red-lipped, shiny haired models down the runway in sheer lacy dresses, black and crème corset tops, and lace-edged silk bloomers. The effect was glamorous yet romantic, sexy yet sophisticated, and left us lusting for lingerie!
Yet, while lingerie-inspired clothing is absolutely on-trend and appropriate, the items we're spotlighting today should be kept strictly under wraps. Though they shouldn't be an easily observed part of your personal style, we promise that those who are privy to your intimate wear will be easily won over by your posh boudoir taste. Additionally, we'd like to think that wearing a pair of zebra-striped panties or vintage-inspired lace bra might give you a little lift too. Hopefully these special pieces will leave you feeling slightly sultry, or perhaps offer the perfect dose of inspiration for your final ensemble. After all, a chic outfit should always begin with a fashionable foundation, and we think there's no better way to plant a stylish seed than to build it with Under $100 lingerie! (Full disclosure: each piece is under $100, even if the full sets are not.) So without further ado, we'll all slip into something a little more comfortable and bring you a few of our favorite (and frugal!) items for spring!
H&M Bra ($13) and Underwear ($10)
In the Balenciaga S/S 10 show, models strutted down the runway in geometric tops and dresses with surprising bursts of mesh inset. While the collection did not directly feature outerwear as underwear, Nicolas Ghesquière's streetwise vibe can be seen in this H&M set. The mesh detailing, black-on-black paneling, and boy-cut bottoms are sporty and modern, while the sheerness of the set is sexy indeed. Additionally, this fashion-forward bra top has offered up something practical: providing some welcome and supportive underwire. We recommend styling it with any of your favorite racer-back tanks, or under a sheer neon colored top for a directional Balenciaga-inspired look.
Elle Macpherson Intimates Obsidian Greer Bra ($80) and Greer Bikini ($30, 866.593.2540)
Elle Macpherson is one of our favorite stylesetters, so we were thrilled when the yummy mummy launched a new range to her namesake lingerie line. The Obsidian collection which debuts this spring includes the same sartorial spirit of her beautiful sets that we always lust for, but is designed to be a bit edgier with a starker color palette. This eye-catching zebra-print bra and bikini set (which also comes in a hot thong version!) is one of our top picks from this emerging selection. We love how Macpherson translated the animal craze to her intimates, making this an ideal option for any trendsetter with a taste for the wild side. Additionally, while the white lace embellished bra straps will look super-sexy popping out from under any tee, we'd recommend pulling out all the stops and opting for a tank with an exaggerated arm hole to allow for the chic pattern to be seen in plein air.
Aerie Chambray Vintage Romper ($30, 888.232.4535)
One of our most surprising and wallet-friendly finds for the day is this adorable Aerie romper. Not only does it echo the vintage pin-up styles seen at Christian Dior, it also invokes one our other favorite spring trends, pretty pastels. The powder blue hue is akin to the soft shades seen on the Burberry Prorsum S/S 10 runway, and we love the sweetly delicate detail of the crème lace. Additionally, while this is a charming piece to sleep in, we could easily see a trendsetter like Kate Moss wearing it out under jeans for an ethereal warm-weather look.
Cosabella Devon Underwire Bra ($64) and Lowrider Bikini ($42) in Natural
We have long relied on Cosabella to fill our lingerie drawer with luxurious underthings, and this neutral toned set is no exception. While it is the most classical of today's offeringsÂ--everyone needs at least one stylish workhorseÂ--it does remind us of our adoration for finishing touches like tiny bows and scalloped trim. Right in line with the color palette that swept the spring runways, this lace demi-cup would be ideal for peeking out under a button-down, or to be spotted underneath a diaphanous blouse. But as for those lowriders (lovely as they are) they're a better kept secret hidden beneath your jeans!
Undrest Wisp-of-Silk Bralette ($78) and Wisp-of-Silk Bloomers ($88)
With a brand new flagship store on Robertson Blvd, Undrest is making its wayÂ--while stripping down!Â--onto the lingerie, lounge and swimwear scene. We are particularly drawn to this label for its sweetly sexy vibe, and adore the retro inspiration of this bralette-and-bloomers duo. While it does pay obvious homage to the forties influence seen at Dior, both in style and ebony-ivory hue, the surprising touch of a racer back top makes it decidedly modern. Obviously, we'd like to offer a way to wear this sophisticated set out-of-doors, yet these delightful bloomers look most chic lounging languidly in the comfort of your own home!
Only Hearts Sophie Camisole ($80) and Sophie Hipster ($55)
For the Valentino S/S 10 show, models romanced the runway in swirling, semi-diaphanous organza frocks in soft shades of nude, lavender and gray. This oyster-hued sleep set seems the bedroom equivalent of that frock-based collection, and we love how the semi-sheer silk chiffon echoes Valentino's gauzy vibe. Yet, vixens don't fret, this set is not strictly demure. On the contrary, the black lace detailing offers a little edge reminding us of those sultry sirens chez Dior.Â--Liza Kaplan

As the weather begins to warm up, people will be spending more time outdoors working, playing and taking care of projects in their yards. With the shift to sunshine and springtime, Rocky Mountain Power reminds everyone to stay safe around power lines, and other electrical equipment, during the course of outdoor activities.
"While electricity is an important part of our daily lives, it also is unforgiving and can cause serious injury or death if safety precautions aren't properly observed," said Mike Felice, Rocky Mountain Power safety director. "Because even momentary electrical contact can have devastating results, your best protection while working or playing outdoors is to always stay alert and be aware of the location of overhead and underground power lines. Avoid doing anything that could potentially lead to contact between yourself or an object you're touching and a power line."
Rocky Mountain Power makes it part of its mission to raise awareness about potential electrical safety hazards. The company provides electrical safety information to customers through bill inserts, safety advertisements and information on its Web site.
The company has the theme of "Look up and live" this spring as they try to warn people about the dangers of electrical lines.
First of all they ask that people pay attention to the location of all overhead power lines. Note the location of overhead electrical wires while working and when moving equipment, as well as when installing, removing, cleaning or repairing rain gutters.
Check for nearby electrical wires when pruning trees. If lines run through or near your tree, don't attempt to cut branches or limbs. Instead, call Rocky Mountain Power at 888-221-7070.
When painting a house or trim, note where power lines connect to the house and keep ladders, scaffolding and other equipment away from lines.
If moving, adjusting or installing an antenna or satellite dish, keep well away from electrical wires.
Check trees for overhead wires running near or through limbs and branches before climbing or building tree houses. If lines are present, do not climb the tree.
If you spot an electrical wire down, keep everyone out of the area (including pets) and immediately call 911 or Rocky Mountain Power at 888-221-7070.
Never try to move or go near a downed wire and always assume a downed wire is energized and dangerous, even if it isn't sparking. Touching a live line or anything near it, like a fence or puddle of water, can cause electricity to flow through your body, resulting in serious injury or death.
Finally, digging into underground power lines can be just as dangerous as contacting an overhead power line. Whether you are a professional excavator or a homeowner, always call 811 to reach the underground utility locating service in your area at least 48 hours before you plan to dig.

Infinity is more than simply the biggest ever number, and even this simple description has caused problems for mathematicians throughout the ages. From the ancient Greeks to Newton, from Newton to present-day mathematicians such as Cristian Claude and Boris Pavlov of New Zealand, infinity has posed both practical and conceptual problems.
Have you ever wondered how high a flea of the size of a human could jump, why rivers meander or how high a tree can grow? Mathematics in Nature provides answers to all these questions and many more, while introducing the reader to the ideas and methods of mathematical modelling.
This book from Professor Sir Michael Marmot (knighted for his services to epidemiology and understanding health inequalities) is concerned with a very simple question: why do people of higher status have better health and live longer than those of lower status?
In our day-to-day lives we all use, and are in fact dependent on, physics. For example, all of modern (and not so modern!) technology relies on our knowledge of underlying physical principles. However, physics is also one of the most commonly feared sciences, with many people put off by the complex details which have developed alongside the subject's sophistication.
Although this book is 50 years old this year, its wisdom is needed now more than ever, as increasing computer power and our headline-obsessed media look set to drown us all in a sea of "statisticulation".
