Two bicycling events that draw thousands of people and millions of dollars to Sonoma County will continue regardless of pro cyclist Levi Leipheimer's doping case, two people involved with the events said Thursday.
Leipheimer, a professional racer who lives in Santa Rosa, created the King Ridge GranFondo in 2009 and helps promote the Amgen Tour of California, which has visited the city six times since 2006.
The area's best-known professional athlete, Leipheimer, 38, declined to comment to reporters in France on Thursday about published reports that he and four other racers had been banned for six months after admitting to doping and agreeing to testify against former teammate Lance Armstrong.
Raissa de la Rosa, an economic development specialist for Santa Rosa, said she was confident the GranFondo and the Amgen Tour would continue to burnish the county's reputation as a great setting for cyclists, both amateur and professional.
"They have enhanced our destination brand," said de la Rosa, who coordinates the Tour, a professional race that brought about 40,000 people to downtown Santa Rosa on this year's opening day May 13.
By "conservative estimate," the Tour injected $6.8 million into the local economy, primarily to hotels, restaurants and retailers, she said.
The GranFondo, a fundraiser conceived by Leipheimer, draws 7,500 riders from around the world, with its next running set for Sept. 29.
Last year's GranFondo raised $266,000 for charity and made a $120,000 contribution toward Santa Rosa's costs for staging the Tour of California.
De la Rosa said the GranFondo, now in its fourth year, will continue to be "a world-class event with or without Levi."
The event "stands on its own," she said, propelled by Sonoma County's scenic rural roads, food and hospitality.

John Yemma, the new editor of the Christian Science Monitor (CSM) which is celebrating its 100th year anniversary in 2008, told Marketing Voices's Jennifer Jones how his publication is blending the roles of the online version with the print version. Although they are shifting most resources to the web, the CSM will have a print version as Yemma believes print has a place in the future of journalism. The CSM is seeking journalists who have a web background in addition to being journalists—quite a talent to find.
Intuit recently launched software with community building capability built into its functionality. Scott Wilder, group manager of their small business group, tells Marketing Voices how their users are loving the product already. The functionality is not a link or popup, but part of the overall community experience. It is unique for sure, and other corporations will most likely follow Intuit's lead.
CEO Hans Peter Brondmo, of Plum, talks to Marketing Voices about their free service that helps save, share and organize a person's digital life. Brondmo also gives Jones insights into Plum's newest product offering being announced October 13 and his perspective on the social media trends he sees in the months ahead.
What does being good at design and being able to build a community have in common? Plenty says CEO of HiveLive, John Kembel. Also a consulting associate professor of the Institute of Design at Stanford, Kembel talks to Marketing Voices about how the process of doing good design has similarities to the process of building a good community. The brainstorming and iterative thinking is similar in both professions and empathy for the customer is a solid need as well says Kembel.

Pay a visit to the volunteer firehouse on Euclid Avenue and you'll meet a cast of characters who don't have much in common professionally. There are lawyers, stonemasons and even an Emmy winner.
None of that matters when they hear about an emergency and they head to the Riverview Manor firehouse, the village's third engine company.
For a municipality that's only 2 square miles, firefighters here respond to a variety of calls ranging from water rescue missions to structure fires. ...

MILAN (AP) - Alberto Contador won the revived Milano-Torino road race on Wednesday, his second title since returning from a doping ban.
Contador moved ahead of the peloton on the final climb to the Basilica di Superga and held on for his first victory in a one-day, 123-mile race. Diego Ulissi of Italy was second, while Fredrik Kessiakoff of Sweden was third.
Contador returned from a doping ban in August, and won the Spanish Vuelta earlier this month.
He tested positive for clenbuterol en route to winning the 2010 Tour de France, blaming contaminated meat for the result. He lost his appeal in February.

Comments about Majestic Athletic Atlanta Braves Freddie Freeman Name & Number T-Shirt:
Positive: Looks great. Has stitching design around the lettering. I think that's new this season; the older shirts I have don't have that.
Negatives: I gotta admit, these shirts aren't very comfortable at all. They're heavy, stiff, and itchy. Great for December, not so great for going to a game at The Ted in August when its 100 degrees. I'd really like to see these T's be thinner and lighter, which would make them much more summer-appropriate.

Comments about Majestic Athletic Atlanta Braves Freddie Freeman Name & Number T-Shirt:
You can't tell in the picture, but these player shirts have a fake stitching design printed around the graphics, and a raised pattern that mimics a football jersey. From a distance the name and number actually appear to be raised and stitched on, which is cool, but the same design is also used on the Braves logo on the front, and I think it looks a bit off.
As far as the actual shirt goes, it's more lightweight than I expected and it's not very soft, but it fits true to size.
Overall I still like the shirt, but MLB should update their pictures and description to represent the product more accurately.

Hi, welcome to my page.
I don't give out my name online, so you can just call me whatever you want to.
To let you know more about myself is sort of hard because I'm not very open, but here we go.
I'm quite boring.
I live in my head a lot, meaning that I try to keep a certain distance away from reality at all times.
I don't really like myself nor do I really want to live, but I guess I just haven't found the guts to end it yet.
I'm not a great writer, nor do I claim to be, I just want to express my thoughts once in awhile.
My favorite food is pizza.
I love romantic stories, they're my favorite.
I am bisexual.
I'm not much of an animal or people person.
I consider myself lonely because I'm by myself all the time.
I would say my fashion style is grunge with a mix of hipster, boho, and feminine.
I love to sleep, it's my only escape.
I'm really pessimistic, and I know it's a huge turn-off, so I apologize.
I hope you enjoy my stories though. Thanks for visiting and stay beautiful. (:

WINNEBAGO — It's not the fact that Winnebago hit 11 3-pointers Thursday that is most impressive. It's that they came from seven players.
WINNEBAGO — It's not the fact that Winnebago hit 11 3-pointers Thursday that is most impressive. It's that they came from seven players.
"I feel like our top seven guys can hit 3-pointers at anytime," senior forward Joey Morrissey said. "Especially on a night like tonight when everyone was feeling it. We just have a lot of depth this year."
Ranked third in Class 2A this week, the Indians (23-0, 9-0 BNW) remained undefeated with a 72-34 home win over Oregon.
Winnebago was hot from the 3-point line from the start.
The Indians scored 21 of their 23 first-quarter points from behind the arc. That included a string of five straight 3-pointers from Dalton Menke, Matt Reinke, Derek Polkowski, Jacoby Posley and Ryan Swigart. When that run ended, the Indians were ahead 17-2 just five minutes into the game.
"I feel like when they hit those 3s we just kind of laid down," said Oregon coach Quinn Virgil, whose team dropped to 12-11 (1-8 BNW). "They obviously have a lot of depth and can bring a lot of guys off the bench."
Posley and Polkowski added another 3-pointer apiece in the quarter, and Winnebago finished the first half with a 10-0 run to lead 34-13 at halftime.
The result was a big difference than the first time these teams met. Oregon took the Indians to overtime before losing 78-72 on Jan. 5.
"You look at our schedule and that was one of only a few teams that has played us close," said Winnebago senior Matt Reinke, who led all scorers with 15 points. "I think we came out with a little more intensity tonight because of that."
Ten players scored for Winnebago, which will play three straight road games, then finish the regular season Feb. 15 at home against Lutheran (18-3, 7-1).

BOSTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, visiting the site of one of the most famous political debates in U.S. history, planned to challenge President Bush on Saturday to a "real discussion about America's future" in a monthly series of debates.
Kerry, already engaged in a running exchange of negative ads with Bush eight months before the November election, planned to deliver the challenge at the site of the historic Abraham Lincoln-Stephen Douglas debates in Quincy, Illinois.
That series of 1858 senatorial debates between Douglas and Lincoln, who lost the Senate election but won the presidency two years later, is legendary in U.S. political history for elevating crucial issues like slavery and states' rights to the front of the U.S. political agenda.
"Surely, if the attack ads can start now at least we can agree to start a real discussion about America's future," Kerry said in remarks prepared for delivery in Quincy, Illinois, later on Saturday.
Bush and Kerry have exchanged negative ads in the past few days, with Bush criticizing Kerry by name for planning to raise taxes and threatening to weaken U.S. security and Kerry firing back at his "misleading" accusations.
Kerry challenged the Republican president to monthly debates on the "great issues" of the day, including the war on terrorism, the loss of U.S. jobs and the plight of Americans without health care.
"2004 can't be just another year of politics as usual," Kerry said in the text. "The challenges we face are just too grave and too great.
"We confront big issues -- as big as any in our history -- and they call for a new and historic commitment to a real and informed exchange of ideas."
Quincy was the site of the sixth of seven Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858, with 20,000 people - double the town's population -- gathering to hear the two men, who shared a river steamer to their next debate.
"Maybe George Bush and I won't travel on the same boat or the same airplane, but we can give this country a campaign that genuinely addresses our real issues and treats voters with respect," Kerry said.
After the Quincy rally, Kerry planned to travel to Pennsylvania and Ohio on Sunday as he continues appearances in states with upcoming primaries, even though he has clinched the Democratic nomination.
After a brief vacation next week, Kerry will embark on a 20-city fund-raising tour at the end of the month to try to close the cash gap on Bush, who had $100 million more on hand at the end of January. Kerry has raised more than $10 million on the Internet since he effectively clinched the nomination on March 2.

'Grey's Anatomy' Star Chandra Wilson Talks Bailey Under Investigation
Let's review: Three of the bossy doctor's patients came down with infections. She assumed Leah the intern was to blame, of course. But everything changed in the last five minutes of "She's Killing Me," when the board informed Bailey that she was the common denominator. The board members wouldn't even let her tell a patient's family about their unexpected loss. Is this a career-ending mistake for the notoriously ego-driven doctor?
We tried our best to find out if and when Bailey will get to scrub in again and go back to saving lives when we talked to Chandra Wilson, who is quick to laugh, very much unlike the doctor she portrays. News flash: The wait isn't going to be pretty for anyone at Grey Sloan Memorial.
To see Bailey vulnerable at the end of the last episode is just crazy.
When she was seated -- Bailey had to have a seat! Bailey doesn't sit down for anybody, and for her to have to acquiesce and follow rules for a minute, that's not easy for her at all.
What's that like for you as an actress?
It's incredibly frightening. The theme that I kept at the forefront of my thoughts is, you can't possibly believe that I need to sit down. I think that's the largest problem that she's having with this investigation. She doesn't feel like anyone is being her champion. Where is the possibility that she did nothing wrong? Nobody is coming forward and saying, "We know that you're fine." There is doubt there, and that's unforgivable to someone like Miranda Bailey. It has a lot to do with ego. Her ego is not going to allow room for the fact that she could have done something wrong. And she doesn't want to hear that from anybody else, either.

So, if Meredith turns around and asks her to be the godmother to her son, what do you think she will say?
Now, you know, that's something she would be flattered about, absolutely, but even with Meredith it's a conflicting time for Bailey, because all of these folks that were her babies, her colleagues, now they're her boss and she really doesn't know where she fits into this whole picture. There's no job security anymore, so it's kind of hard to be personal in the middle of being so vulnerable.
Some people think this might be all about the tools in the OR and not about Bailey.
Well, clearly that's what it has to be! [Laughs] There's something she understands, that she has to go through the procedures. And that's fine, but why does that have to constitute being grounded? If her colleagues were in her situation she would tell them to sit down, shut up, and let people do their thing, and then go back to work. But that's just not possible for her.
This is so true. What about Kepner? Do you think she has job security right now after sending off those supplies?
You know, she doesn't have anything to lose right now. She gets led by her heart all the time, so this one is a matter of who's gonna find out about that. But she ... yes, she is in this position where she hasn't passed her boards yet, and she's still learning and still naive, and this is just very Kepner of her, to help these guys out with supplies, like, whatever!

De-stressing your home purchase
De-stressing your home purchase
Jack Guttentag
Inman News™
Editor's note: This is the first of a two-part series.
At the end of a mortgage loan process that takes weeks and sometimes months, all the pieces come together at a "closing." The major objective of a closing is to sign contracts and disburse the loan funds.
But that objective in itself would require only a few documents -- not the 30 or more that borrowers must deal with in a typical closing. The barrage of documents often makes the closing process a frightening ordeal for borrowers.
Most of the additional documents are either required by the federal or a state government, or by lenders protecting themselves against legal liabilities imposed on them by government. Disclosures mandated by government often lead to new lender disclosures where the borrower acknowledges that the mandated disclosure was received.
If a borrower at closing read every document and raised questions about everything she didn't understand, the process would take days to complete. In practice, everybody involved, usually including the borrower, wants to be out within one or two hours and wants to view the closing as largely ceremonial.
That works for the lender, but very often it doesn't work for the borrower. My colleague Jack Pritchard, who has managed many hundreds of closings and provided advice and counsel on these articles, tells me that very few borrowers are adequately prepared for the closing.
While they have the legal right to receive all the documents no less than 24 hours before the closing, few do. Without guidance on what to look for, it wouldn't do them much good, in any case. The purpose of these articles is to provide such guidance.
The document package
A document package is a set of documents applicable to an individual transaction. Document packages differ for conforming, nonconforming, Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) loans. Different types of mortgages require different documents, and the same is true of different types of property.
Individual states have their own document requirements, and the same is true of many individual lenders. This means that the different document packages number in the millions.
To meet the need to generate the right package of documents for every transaction, an industry of mortgage document specialists has arisen. I used one such firm in researching these articles, paying it $25 for every document package I downloaded.
While no one document package is likely to contain exactly the same documents as any other, many documents -- including those required by the federal government -- appear in all packages, and others appear in many. The closing documents described below appear in all or most document packages.
Categorizing documents
Documents can be placed in four groups based on their usefulness to the borrower, and on when the borrower should consult the documents, as summarized in the table below.

TreeVitalize to visit Aspinwall; more trees could be coming
Representatives from TreeVitalize will visit Aspinwall within the next month to inspect the area.
The borough received a grant to purchase 24 trees last year.
They will tour the community with members of the borough's Shade Tree Commission.
Councilman Joe Noro said the borough is eligible for a grant for 50 trees this year.
TreeVitalize makes trees available to communities in the Pittsburgh area.
After a successful planting of trees from an initial grant, communities are able to get more trees in future years.
"We should get a lot of trees this year," Noro said.
Light pole
A light pole on Freeport Road that was broken when a truck hit it earlier this month will be replaced.
Lee Albacker, foreman of the borough's public works department, said police did catch the person who hit the pole.
Insurance will cover the replacement costs.
Albacker said the poles can cost as much as $10,000.
Next meeting
The next meeting of Aspinwall Council will be March 6 at 7 p.m. Meetings are held in the borough building at 217 Commercial Ave.

Japanese Mimi Switch reads face for device control
updated 02:05 pm EDT, Mon March 9, 2009
Mimi Switch reads faces
A Japanese device called the Mimi Switch or Ear Switch has the ability to read a wearer's facial expression, including a blink of an eye, smile or raised eyebrow. It can accomplish this via its infrared sensors in the ear, the inside of which moves according to the facial expressions, and translate those movements into controls for attached personal electronics devices such as iPods. Invented and developed by Kazuhiro Taniguchi of the Engineering Science Graduate School at Osaka University, the device is connected to a computer which interprets the signals to control connected devices.
The Ear Switch can be programmed to recognize different expressions and even doubles as a relaxing aid. It can monitor a user's natural movements and play a song to cheer them if it concludes he is not smiling enough. Taniguchi hopes to apply this to make people's lives easier as well as monitor their health, citing one example where it could be built into hearing aids of the elderly and monitor how often they cough and how often they eat. A warning message could then be sent to relatives or caretakers. As well, the disabled can control devices such as washers and dryers, though they will have to load them themselves.
Taniguchi hopes to patent his prototype in Japan and other countries and develop a wireless version. He hopes to find corporate funding to help put the device on store shelves, which he expects will take between two or three years. [via PhysOrg]

T-Mobile joins Verizon in opposing Apple ban on Samsung gear
updated 09:10 pm EDT, Wed September 28, 2011
T-Mobile amicus brief echoes Verizon on Samsung
T-Mobile on Wednesday joined Verizon's opposition to a ban on Samsung by filing its own amicus brief in the Northern District of California court handling Apple's lawsuit. The carrier contended that it would "unnecessarily harm" T-Mobile to impose a preliminary ban on Samsung's phones and tablets, and was especially badly timed. With a hearing on October 13, a ban would mean it "could not find comparable replacement products" during the holidays, it said.
Unlike Verizon, however, T-Mobile believed the design patents relating to the look and feel of the iPad and iPhone, not just the software, were important in denying a ban. The difference suggested T-Mobile was more sincerely interested in keeping Samsung's hardware on sale than in making a token gesture to appease Google and Samsung without seriously threatening Apple.
T-Mobile may be too late regardless of sincerity. Apple first pushed for a preliminary ban in July, leaving any urgency in doubt given that T-Mobile waited two months to respond. The iPhone firm has also noted that amicus briefs may be invalid in the current case and with current timing.
Sprint hasn't filed a brief but may be keen not to upset Apple given a likely imminent iPhone 5 launch. T-Mobile has said it won't get the iPhone this year and has little to lose in the short term. [via Florian Mueller]

I was recently honored by being nominated for Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year award in the New York region. As part of the selection process, I had to submit a personal essay, complete a questionnaire, and have an in-person interview with a panel of judges who were mostly recent winners. Despite my past interview experience and the in-house preparation that had taken place leading up to the meeting, I found myself ill-prepared for the panel's first question: "Didn't the Internet disintermediate travel agencies? How are you still in business?"
I did my best to answer the question, but found that over the next few days, my mind was lingering on the question. The company that I founded, Ovation Travel Group, recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, and has grown from a handful of employees with an insolvent balance sheet to a formidable leader in the travel management field, with close to 600 employees.
As I recounted our humble beginnings to assembled staff in our New York City headquarters office last week, I was struck with a sense of enormous pride. Among other crises, we survived two Iraq wars, multiple airline bankruptcies, 9/11, a global financial crisis, and Hurricane Sandy, each time growing stronger as a company. Below, I'll outline why I think that is by sharing some tips on creating longevity in a tough industry.
1. Be naive.
Naiveté, despite what you might think, can be helpful when embarking on a new project. In fact, for me, it's one of the things that kept me from filing for Chapter 11 when I took over my father's struggling travel business in 1984. Located in the Garment district of New York City, my business had a handful of advisers in the form of my father-in-law's friends who kept telling me to pull the plug and start over, because we were too far in the red to survive. Despite their counsel, I didn't see that as an option. My parents had invested all of their resources into the success of the small travel agency, and success was the only outcome I would accept as I took over the project of turning the business around.
In this case, throwing in the towel too early would have been a mistake. Fortunately, I was naively optimistic, against all odds and against all counsel, and in the end it paid off. No matter what industry you're in, from banking to real estate to construction or engineering, a little naiveté can go a long way when you're surrounded by naysayers, and can lead to a profitable future.
2. Be humble.
Though some people might find it surprising that a CEO would admit to not knowing how to do everything, I think a proper dose of humility is the most important ingredient for success. Know-it-alls always finish last in my book. Your employees will see you as arrogant, and your competitors will see you as someone they can take advantage of. Being humble is the key to permanence in any industry. The sooner you can figure out your strengths and weaknesses as a person and as a professional, the better. When you've finished performing your personal inventory and accepted what you bring to the table, the next step is to find people that complement your strengths and weaknesses. For example, I'm not a numbers guy. Though I was able to process payroll (sort of) the first few years that I was managing my travel business, when I began to expand Ovation it was imperative that I find a great CFO to oversee the company. Following natural disasters every other year, 9/11, and the global financial crisis of 2008, I see that I was right. Hiring my business partner and CFO, Sunil Mahtani, was one of the best decisions I've ever made. More than 25 years later. we're good friends and are running a successful company together, along with our two other partners, each of whom is responsible for a significant portfolio of the business as well as for our mutual success. No matter your industry, having employees with various skill sets who can shine in their positions is key to making your business bloom.
3. Incentivize your employees.
My philosophy has always been that to make the pie bigger, you have to give some of it away. I've taken that idea to heart by incentivizing the travel consultants at Ovation for providing what we call "value-added services" (waiving no-show fees, upgrading flights and hotels) for our clients. It ensures that the travelers receive a first-class experience and that the travel consultants know we're patting them on the back. By giving away tangible items (gift cards, bonuses, etc.), I've actually added to Ovation's bottom line. The old saying goes, "Give a little, get a little," right?
Regardless of your industry, incentivizing employees is a good idea. You can't, and shouldn't be, a micromanager. And because you can't and shouldn't try to be everywhere at once, you need to empower your employees to do a good job and trust that they'll take on the challenge of exceeding your expectations. By incentivizing your employees with anything from bonuses to off-site team-building days, office birthday parties, or gift cards for a job well done, you're letting them know that you see what they're doing and appreciate it. You're letting them know that they matter to you and increasing the likelihood that you and your company will matter to them. By forming lasting relationships with your employees, you're making it more likely that they'll pick up that extra call when their shift ends rather than let a call from an important client go to voice mail.
4. Be persistent.
Has anyone ever made it the first time around? I don't think so. And though it's possible that you could be the exception to the rule, the likelihood is that if you and your company are going to succeed, you're going to have to try, fail, try again, fail again, etc., before you find the special sauce that makes your business soar.
What ultimately helped me in the early days was adopting a customer service philosophy courtesy of the book Raving Fans. This book helped me to focus on the big-picture goals I had for Ovation rather than the day-to-day issues that bothered me. Years later, we still train all of our employees on the book and have found that it has helped us all to consistently "deliver what's expected plus one" and be persistent. While my naiveté served me early on, my dogged determination has helped me throughout my career. I don't hesitate to make follow-up calls. I don't think twice about repitching ideas that were previously ignored or lost steam in the planning process. I try again, because for all I know, it's the 100th for me. For all you know, it could be the 101st.
5. Be balanced, and don't micromanage.
No one ever says, "Put all of your eggs in one basket," do they? When approaching your professional life, as well as your personal life, it's important to have balance when thinking about longevity. Be realistic with your expectations, and accept that nothing will ever be perfect in the long run, and it's OK to have highs and lows as your business pushes forward. In the end, it will balance out.
Relating the idea of balance to the melding of your personal and professional selves, it's important to work hard but play hard, too. You're working hard and running a business for a reason, right? So why not celebrate a little with friends and family after a big project is completed? Why not go for a run on your lunch break if there are no pending deadlines? If you're all work all the time, your life is missing meaning. If you're all play every day, chances are that important work decisions are being made without you, and your company might lose its edge. The key to far-reaching and long-term success is prioritizing and striking the right balance between work and home life.
As it turns out, I lost the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award to someone whose business portfolio includes establishing old-age homes. Lest you think I don't follow my own advice, I'll be applying again next year. With enough perseverance and humility (and a little bit of naiveté thrown in), I think that 2015 could be my lucky year.

German court upholds Apple ban on Samsung, rules September 9
updated 10:30 am EDT, Thu August 25, 2011
Galaxy Tab 10.1 ban in Germany to stay for now
Samsung was dealt a setback Thursday after a Dusseldorf court upheld Apple's request for a preliminary ban in Germany on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. The judge determined that, while Apple wasn't necessarily right, Samsung hadn't made a strong enough case to overturn the ban. Samsung's tablets now can't be sold in Germany until at least a ruling on September 9.
The court disagreed with Samsung's accusations of widespread distortion in the images Apple used to secure the original ban. Community design rights gave Apple at least a "medium range of protection," the judge said, if not a "broad" claim. As such, the exact details Samsung was challenging weren't vital.
None of the hearing on Thursday decided on whether the court had an authority to ban the Galaxy Tab 10.1 across the EU. The ban only directly affects Samsung Germany and, because of its corporate relationship to Samsung Korea, might not see the ban go beyond the country.
The sustained verdict compounds Samsung's problems and follows just a day after a Dutch ban on Galaxy phones that does affect other European countries, but not the Galaxy Tab. Samsung has legal action against Apple as well but, with Apple getting early successes, might have little choice but to operate on at least some of its rival's terms and settle.

A Vacaville man whose starving horse was seized a year ago after Sonoma County Animal Control officers found it in a severely underweight condition has been jailed on a felony animal cruelty charge, authorities said Monday.
Larry Fred Kennedy, 49, was arrested Jan. 2, almost a year since his alleged mistreatment of the horse was first reported, authorities said.
The horse, which was boarded in Petaluma with two other horses under the care of someone else, was estimated to be 300 pounds underweight when he was brought to the attention of Animal Care and Control officials, according to a news release issued Monday by the county animal welfare agency and District Attorney's Office.
He also had an untreated penile infection which, if left unaddressed, could have caused "lots of problems," Supervising Animal Control Officer Brian Whipple said.
The horse, which was placed in the care of a local nonprofit group called CHANGE, "has made a dramatic recovery," Whipple said. "He's doing wonderful."

Read moreGettysburg Bike Week, which runs from July 11 to July 14, attracts thousands of motorcyclists to the Adams County area each year. Read more about the event here.
In an effort to address the noise complaints made by Gettysburg locals during past Bike Weeks, 25 cautionary lawn signs were presented to the Gettysburg Borough Council by representatives of the Alliance of Bikers Aimed Toward Education on Monday evening.
ABATE legislative officer Scott Christopher said he hopes the bright yellow signs — which read "When In Town, Throttle Down" — will limit the noise pollution created by the motorcyclists.
Gettysburg Bike Week, which runs from July 11 to July 14, attracts thousands of motorcyclists to the Adams County area each year. Although the signs were offered as a goodwill measure to Gettysburg residents, Christopher reminded the council that there was only "so much" that could be done to prevent the noise.
"We know that some do it accidentally and some individuals are complete fools," Christopher said. "The hope is that we can remind them and get enough signs around town to help alleviate problems with certain individuals."
The signs and their accompanying metal lawn stands were accepted by Borough Council President Michael Birkner, who mentioned he knew a few residents who would want one for their yard.
"We thank you for respecting people's right to have a peaceful enjoyment of their property," Birkner said to Christopher.
Noise complaints have been a subject of bitter debate between Gettysburg residents in the past.
Still, Birkner added that the Borough Council will welcome the bikers just as it welcomed the tourists for the 150th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg last week. .

Comments about Nikon 19mm Wide Angle Lens for CoolPix 5000:
This is the one Nikon Coolpix accessory you should buy along with the lens adapter if you get any accessories.
I was able to stand rather close to some tall buildings and get a very nice wide view into the frame. The best thing about the CP5000 was using this.

Outside of what humans have done to other humans on Earth, where exactly is there a case of the Prime Directive being ignored and suddenly coming back to bite us in the rear?

Terry Crews is a movie, TV and advertising star, but now he might shift into another role, game show host. Crews is reportedly in final stage talks to take over the hosting duties of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire from the departing Cedric the Entertainer.
Cedric was only a host for one season, and expressed his interest to leave quite vocally. Crews is being recruited to fill his shoes, though I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. Crews, real life superhero, seems poised to see his star shoot into the stratosphere as of late. He's great on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, has outshined his A-list co-stars in The Expendables, and it seems like anything is possible for the actor.
But hosting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? A) I didn't know that show had even been brought back to life and B) it almost seems like a step back for him.
Maybe he can do both. I imagine reading questions off a card and asking people if something is their final answer can't be too terribly time consuming. Maybe he can do that job and be a huge film and TV star, but it does seem like kind of an offshooting path, no?

Crunk Energy Drink
BevNET Review
A berry flavor is a logical extension for the Crunk!!! Brand, and this one is a pretty palatable effort. It uses the same functional ingredients as the others (ashwaganda, horny goat weed, ginseng, guarana, skull cap, white willow, B vitamins, etc.) and the flavor is very much in line with what we've come to expect from Crunk. The base of the berry flavor tastes like something that we've had before, although a touch of acai and grape juices give it some credibility and a more natural finish. It's sweet, but crisp, with a moderate level of carbonation and a light energy bite on the way out. High fructose corn syrup leaves a slight coating behind, but is tolerable, especially since the drink has some kick to it. Packaging is, for the most part, clean and easy to decipher, with prime placement of "Berry" and a purple backdrop. We're still fans of the Crunk logo, which blends an in your face style without feeling aggressive. Overall, a good addition to the Crunk brand.

Pet Project Alert: The $110 Million Elysian Reservoir-Park
- 31 May 2011
- Written by Jack Humphreville
LA WATCHDOG - Ratepayers of the Department of Water and Power are being asked to foot the $110 million bill for the construction of a 55 million gallon underground reservoir to replace the existing Elysian Reservoir and for the creation of a new 12 acre recreation area on top of the new subterranean reservoir.
Yet this recommendation is vastly more expensive than the $25 million Floating Cover alternative recommended by DWP management in 2008.
So this begs two questions.
Should Ratepayers be required to pay the princely ransom of $85 million for a 12 acre park that is really the obligation of the City and the Department of Recreation and Parks?
And what City Councilmen are pressuring DWP to adopt the much more expensive alternative?
The Elysian Reservoir is located in Elysian Park, just north of downtown, in Ed Reyes' Council District 1 and adjacent to Eric Garcetti's Council District 13. The reservoir covers six acres, contains 55 million gallons of drinking water, and serves 285,000 people in an area covering 24 square miles which includes Echo Park, Chinatown, Mount Washington, Lincoln Heights, Boyle Heights, and a large portion of downtown.
As a result of environmental regulations that are designed to ensure water quality, all reservoirs that provide drinking water must be covered to avoid direct contact with the sunlight and limit the intake of storm water. As a result, DWP developed three plans: the proposed $110 million Buried Reservoir that will take 5.5 years to complete; the $55 million Aluminum Cover that will take 4 years to complete; and the $25 million Floating Cover that will take 2.5 years to complete.
All three alternatives meet the necessary environmental requirements, although the Buried Reservoir alternative will generate significantly more Greenhouse Gas, air quality issues, and noise during its 5.5 years of construction.
And coupled with the $65 million project to replace and expand the Inlet and Bypass Lines, all three alternatives will result in the reliable delivery of quality drinking water.
The major difference is that the Buried Reservoir achieves the "secondary" objective of providing an additional 12 acres of recreation area in the 575 acre Elysian Park.
But the cost of $85 million, or over $7 million an acre, a price that rivals the highest prices in the City, is not the responsibility of Ratepayers, especially when Ratepayers are about to get slammed with the triple whammy of multiyear increases in water, power, and sewer rates.
So to answer the first question of whether the 12 acres of recreation area is the responsibility of the Ratepayers, the answer is not no. It is HELL NO.
Rather, the $85 million overage is the responsibility of the City and the Department of Recreation and Parks, no matter what selected Councilmen say to justify this fraud upon the Ratepayers.
As the Valley Alliance of Neighborhood Councils ("VANC") stated in its April 18 letter opposing the Buried Reservoir, the funding of this project may violate the City Charter in that this obligation is not a "necessary" expense.
This additional $85 million expense may also be subject to the recently passed Proposition 26, the Super Majority Vote Required to Pass New Taxes and Fees Act.
As for the Councilmen whose backroom maneuvering is responsible for the trying to dump this $85 million cost on the Ratepayers, only time will tell. But now that scam has been exposed to the bright 'rayes' of the sun, starting with the VANC's letter opposing the Buried Reservoir alternative favored in the Draft Environmental Impact Report, all Members of the City Council are on notice that this added expense is not acceptable to Ratepayers. Nor is it proper.
On Saturday, June 4, our Department of Water and Power is presenting its case for multiyear increases in our water and power rates. As part of that presentation, DWP needs to discuss why the Ratepayers should pay for the Buried Reservoir as well as any other "pet" projects of the Mayor and the City Council.
Is there any wonder why we need a well funded, empowered, and truly independent Ratepayers Advocate to oversee the operations, finances, and management of DWP on a timely and continuous basis?
78% of voters thought so.

I love everything they have to offer, and am willing to spend the money, but can't do it if it works like this. Is anyone else having problems with it lately? I've called twice- the first guy said their server was running a little slow and it will be better in a couple weeks! The next guy said the same, but that they would have it fixed within the day. Not so much.
On another note- I noticed that you can use their estimating form in your own website- what about the client portal? Does anyone know if you MUST use their website to have that feature? I've spent too much time on my website to change it into a cookie cutter version of everyone else's!
I will tell you that after 4 weeks SAP finished my site. The site is a "cookie cutter template" and I have found 2 of the same (in different areas of course, but still). For a "template' site I don't see why it would take so long. All they had to do was use info from my existing site, so I would imagine it would have been pretty straight forward, but meh...... If you look at the site it is ATM the SAP site. I told em to take it down by tomorrow, and I have redirected my domains back to their original place. So it will be changing back soon
I was less than impressed and in fact was a little pissed off because I was within the top 4 of first page on Google locally in search. Now with their site I am not even on first page! I do realize SEO takes time, however I had to much time in my site to throw all that work away. Not to mention for such generic workmanship!
I used OSBL to create my site, and I will do so as it only costs about $12 a month versus SAP @ about $30. And I can customize it to my likings. I went w SAP as i thought they would do a much better job than I, since I had no idea what I was doing when I built my initial site. (THANK GOD I BACKED IT UP
Now that said, SAP is awesome in all other areas, and if you want to fork over the $ they can customize you a website. I have no experience with that so I cant tell you how they do.

The last show of my favourite Québécois rock band filmed & recorded at the old Montreal forum back in 1985. They announced that it was their last show so they played like 40 songs \ 3 ½ hours. The track listing here is the one of the 4 track casette that Ive listened endlessly when I was younger. They released the full concert on dvd a few years ago and I must admit its pure magic. So for my official listening Ive put a few more songs than the casette,cuts like Ayoye , Promenade Sur Mars & Les Eaux Qui Dorment are cruelly missing so I played them. Most of you guys probably never heard of them, its bluesy\rock band sometimes borderline hard rock so if you want to check them out go see this (Ma Patrie Est A Terre):
its taken from that show. The singer who has this beautifull powerfull voice died of cancer in 1990 at the age of 44 or something.

Can you spot him?
There in the trees?
He looks very dapper with his new red breast.
So hopefully he's a sign that this long, rough winter is coming to a close. Maybe he's bringing a little good luck for all of us!

We've been seeing robins for a couple of weeks now. We sure wish spring would get here.
We've had lots of robins here in North Carolina all winter. It's not unusual to see one or two, but it's pretty unusual to see flocks of robins all winter long. It was cold here, below zero some nights. I wonder what they ate??
BOL!!! I did not see him in that first photo!
A bit of good luck we all could use, thats for sure!
Thanks for coming by my blog today and thanks SO much for your vote as well! If you can come vote once a day we sure would appreciate it!

A key feature of established models of apoptosis is the regulation of mitochondrial permeability by both pro- and antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 protein family. These proteins also function to modulate intracellular calcium in a highly complex fashion that promotes both prosurvival while inhibiting proapoptotic calcium signals. Our research is focused on identifying the mechanisms involved in translating Bcl-2-modulated calcium signaling into changes in the cellular sensitivity to apoptosis.
Calcium and Redox Signaling in Type-2 Diabetes
Structural and functional alterations in the microcirculation contribute to the pathogenesis of type-2 diabetic complications. Here, our research seeks to define how diabetes affects the molecular mechanisms important in regulating vessel contractility and blood flow in the microcirculation. We are currently exploring how the disease modulates reactive oxygen species and calcium signaling pathways in the smooth muscle cells of resistance arterioles in mouse models. Ultimately, our goal is to identify novel therapeutic strategies that target microvascular dysfunction in type-2 diabetes.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is getting an extraordinary outpouring of Internet support.
