Defense Wants Perjury Charges Against Police Lt. Dropped
Lawyer For Ft. Collins Officer Moves To Toss Perjury Case
The lawyer for a Fort Collins police lieutenant wants perjury charges against his client dropped."Jim Broderick denies that he made any false statement," said attorney Patrick Tooley.That was the basis for an afternoon of legal wrangling in Larimer County Wednesday over whether Lt. Jim Broderick should stand trial for perjury."You cannot premise a perjury claim on something he didn't say," Tooley told Weld County District Court Judge James Hartmann. "There is no irreconcilable contradiction."A Larimer County grand jury indicted Broderick this summer on eight perjury counts for his role in the arrest, prosecution, and conviction of Tim Masters in 1987.Masters went to prison for the murder of 37-year-old Peggy Hettrick for nearly 10 years, before new evidence led to his release in 2008.From that point forward, the case against Broderick slowly started to materialize, first with a second review by special prosecutor and Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck.Broderick maintains his innocence and is on paid leave from the Ft. Collins police department.He had several supporters and family members in the Larimer County courtroom Wednesday.Tooley told TheDenverChannel he didn't expect Judge Hartmann to rule on the dismissal motion for several days.

It has excellent heat and drought tolerance in the landscape.
This is a unique plant that reminds me up a iceplant, does do well as a houseplant too.. Plant in good lighting.

Google has created an interactive doodle to celebrate the Perseid Meteor Shower.
The internet giant has devised one of its iconic moving illustrations to pay homage to the spectacular annual celestial phenomenon, which began on Saturday and is expected to finish on Wednesday.
The meteor shower happens every August.
It is caused when the massive Swift-Tuttle comet loses parts of its celestial body as it enters into the inner solar system.
With clear skies, it is common to see more than 100 meteors an hour.
This year, the activity is due to peak on Tuesday.


text: My bro in law and I were doing some bike talk just recently and he claims that he did a top speed of 50mph according to the app on his Motorola Droid phone. I basically told him to get a cyclometer because it'd be more accurate, but he says that it IS pretty accurate. He just got his bike over the summer and it's not like he has crazy leg muscles, so is 50mph even possible on flat ground with no wind!? He has a 2009 Jamis Ventura Comp.

The ride operator accused in connection with an accident at the North Carolina State Fair is free on bond.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that records show 46-year-old Timothy Dwayne Tutterrow left the Wake County jail on Monday. That was the same day that a judge on Monday reduced Tutterrow's bond from $225,000 to $100,000 at the request of Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby.
Tutterrow was operating the Vortex ride in October when it suddenly spun into motion as people were trying to get off, seriously injuring three people.
Ride owner Joshua Gene Macaroni is also was charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of assault on a juvenile with a deadly weapon. He is also free on $225,000 bond.

Now that the suspect in the killing of a Denver police officer is in custody in Mexico, Denver authorities are considering their options in what is likely to be a difficult extradition process.
Raul Garcia-Gomez was arrested over the weekend after a massive international manhunt. He's suspected of killing Detective Donnie Young and wounding Detective Jack Bishop in an ambush at a party in Denver where the officers were serving as off-duty security guards.
New Mexico State University Mexican history professor Louis Sadler says it would be very unusual for the Mexican government to turn over a suspect who is facing the death penalty. And Denver prosecutors say even the prospect of a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole could create problems for extraditing Garcia-Gomez.
Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey says his staff has been working with the U-S State Department on extradition, and Colorado Attorney General John Suthers says he's ready to help.
If extradition becomes impossible, authorities can seek to have Garcia-Gomez tried in Mexico. Such trials have resulted in five convictions of suspects in Colorado crimes in the past four years.

If Peyton Manning is edgy or emotional about his first real game in 20 months, he's hiding it well.
The ever-stoic four-time MVP, who's making a comeback from a nerve injury that required four neck operations and kept him off the field in 2011, makes his Denver debut Sunday night when the Broncos host the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Asked Wednesday if he thinks he'll have butterflies for his first game in 611 days, Manning said it's "hard to give a prediction" about how he'd feel at kickoff.
Receiver and close friend Brandon Stokley said that when he came back from a ruptured Achilles tendon in 2007, he had a newfound appreciation for the game, and he's sure Manning will have a similar reaction when he runs onto the field.

|My name is Nick Smoger, and this is my first year as a writing tutor. I am a sophomore at St. John's University where I study Political Science. I grew up in Wheaton, a small agricultural community in western Minnesota. My hometown is simple and rustic, and the people are timid yet proud. The women care for the children, and the men work hard tilling the fields, sometimes journeying into larger communities to attend Republican Primary meetings or to shop for groceries at Wal-Mart. However, the community is modernizing. Last year a railroad was built through town, and a Subway soon followed. A few weeks before I returned to college, residents were shocked to hear, via telegraph, of gay marriage being legalized in Minnesota two months prior.
Because I grew up in a place without TV, Internet, phone service, or printing technology, I spent lots of time figuring out ways to keep myself occupied. I found leisure in peaceful activities such as picking flowers and painting pictures of farm animals. It was not until I grew older, at my country school- house, that my interest in writing developed. I think good writing, in essence, is articulating credible ideas using refined and organized language. My goal in helping students with their writing is not only to help them articulate ideas, but also to help them generate and articulate good ideas. I hope to see you at the writing center. I'll probably be sitting around, if I'm not visiting family back in Wheaton.
Nick is studying abroad in South Africa Spring 2015

Our excitement about our new partnership with Wolfgang Puck Catering is off the charts! After spending the day working on our new wedding reception menus we thought we'd share some menu planning tips and suggestions.
When it comes down to it, today's weddings are all about hosting a fabulous party and FABULOUS begins with the basics – sensational food and a full-service bar. But contrary to popular belief, it is absolutely possible to have a well-designed menu and serve delicious food at your wedding. Working with such famous restauranteurs-turned-caterers like Wolfgang Puck Catering only hammers that point home. But where to start? The first step a bride and groom should do is create their own "foodie wish list" that details their personal food favorites, or the dreaded "ick, I hate that!" list, as well as foods that cause allergic reactions and foods that your families would expect to share at the wedding. If you have trouble getting a handle on these items, start by writing down your favorite restaurants, cooking techniques, ethnic traditions or family recipes. Have you discussed with each other or with your families what your guests would enjoy? For instance, are your Italian relatives expecting to see some form of antipasto at the cocktail reception? What about your fiance's Chinese grandparents, would they nibble on Wolfgang's mini peking duck rolls or is a whole dim sum station a must-have? And if your Uncle Joey only eats burgers, well, that's certainly possible, even if they are slider-sized and oozing with melted cheese (see below and prepare to salivate).
Something else to consider when conceptualizing your reception menu is the season in which you are celebrating the wedding. A dramatic plated first course for Summer could be Wolfgang's Roasted Beet and Herbed Goat Cheese Napolean! (see below). Wow, what a first impression that makes on a crowd! For Fall or Winter weddings you may want more hot hors d'oeuvres than cold, and including seasonal produce into the dinner service might be interesting. For instance, we love mini shooters of butternut squash soup paired with grilled crostini. Wolfgang's well-known philosophy is to design their catering menus with the freshest, organic and humanely-raised food they can get their hands on so sharing your seasonal preferences is not only welcome but crucial from the get-go.
Aside from the types of foods you hope to enjoy at your wedding, you'll also have to decide the service style. Specifically, whether your reception will be buffet-style (large displays with multiple selections), food stations (several mini buffets) or a sit-down plated meal (tableside service). Buffet-style tends to be more casual, food stations can be entertaining and sit-down is certainly the most formal. Most wedding menus are designed with a mixture of these food service styles over the course of the 5-hour event. For instance, during your cocktail reception a combination of passed hors d'oeuvres and food stations followed by a sit-down plated dinner keeps the grazers and talkers equally happy. After dinner, why not repeat the cocktail-style service with passed mini-desserts, a plated dessert and a sweet dessert station? Doesn't this Chocolate Lava Cake look divine?
Once you have some idea as to your own personal food tastes and preferred service styles, it's time to pour through the carefully crafted sample WPC menus. Designing your wedding menu is a process and you'll have to study the sample menus and compare them to your "wish list" before your final menu plan is realized. Luckily, at ACE you have a fantastic team of professionals to help guide you through what could be a challenging process! Particularly, when each hors d'oeuvre, stationery display and plated course tastes and looks better than the last! Remember, the golden rule is to balance the menu with a variety of foods that have different flavors, textures, colors and temperatures to keep things enjoyable for all. Ugh, it's overwhelming, we know! But don't fret! Our ACE Planning Team will be able to take your ideas and preferences and use them to design a menu that is just right for your wedding.

How can I keep my mom out of the delivery room?
My mother doesn't really approve of my wonderful husband, and he feels uncomfortable around her. She wants to be in the delivery room for the birth of our baby, but I know my husband would rather she wasn't. I love my husband and want this to be our special event. How do I tell my mom that we'd like to be alone for the delivery?

Just when you go into labor dont call her until after u have the baby. I know it sounds mean but if she loves you then she will understand.posted 09/22/2006 by jrobayna
Well I am just lucky because in my hospital they only allow one person to be there with me,(which will be my husband).posted 09/20/2006 by Cool MomJen23
I told the whole family that the only person I wanted there was my DH. I did not even want people at the hospital. No questions. My mom did not care but my DH's mom was not happy. I ended up being induced. My DH received a call about 1/2 way through that his folks were in the lobby of the hospital just in case we changed our minds. I told him to have lunch with them but by no means were they allowed to come to the room. They complied but were back at the hospital as soon as the baby was born. They got to see their grandbaby in the nursery so they were happy. In the end - be very firm and clear. It is your and your DH's time. For our second we plan on the same approach. Even my DD will stay at home with relatives.posted 09/19/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I didn't want my mom in the delivery room either, I thought it was an occassion for just me and my husband. But once labor began and I was scared, I wanted Mommy there more than anyone!posted 09/19/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I ended up going two weeks beyond my due date, so my doc scheduled the induction on Sunday. My husband and I didn't tell anyone and proceeded to check into the hospital Sunday evening, and gave birth on Monday. THEN he called everyone with the good news. My family was slightly offended that we didn't call on the drive to the hospital, but our birth experience was "ours" and we we'll be doing exactly the same thing for baby #2 in January.posted 09/19/2006 by Mom2Ava+1
I haven't had my baby yet and my mom and I have been talking about her being in the room. She wants to be there only if I want her there and understands that it is a very important time for my husband and me. I am lucky that she isn't putting up a fuss! If I did have that problem I would just turn it around on her! Having a baby is supposed to be a happy thing not a time for fighting! I would ask her why she is trying to ruin this wonderful time and experience by fighting with me over being in the room! Having a baby isn't about your mom it's about you and the baby!posted 09/18/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I love my mom so much. She knows me well, and knows that me wanting to be alone with the delivery is my personality, having nothing to do with her. My husband's lucky he's wiggled *his* way in. I'm very comfortable with the way it will be, just the two of us.posted 09/18/2006 by BabyWatch2008
I am having a late in life baby, my oldest is 20 and youngest 18 years, both boys, this is a girl! YEA! My husband and I have been together for 22 years opps! The first time around the only people allowed in the room was the medical staff and one other person so we had no problem then. But now everyone including a neighbor could be in there if you wanted wow how things have changed, but I told my husband it's just me and him he agrees and if they can't deal to bad! Be upfront and honest, and it also depends if you may think your spouse needs more support than you and the medical staff can give him. My husband and I have done this before and we agree it's very special and personal, we need it to be just us! I love both our parents and they have not asked to be in the room, but I do believe that the relationship we have with them is a good one, they are understanding about how private and personal we are and they respect that! I am gratefull we will not have a conflict over this! But if there was an issue, to bad. Just like your wedding it's your day to become a family and it's your call. They should understand!posted 09/18/2006 by lisanov06
I am the below person as well, need to clarify. People can be in there up until the actual delivery, that's no problem. It's the pushing phase delima we are facingposted 09/18/2006 by april_hwth
I just assumed I would have my mom in there with me. Now my husband says he only wants it to be us. Now I have to figure out a good way to tell her. I think she'll be hurt a little, but she is also the type of person to understand. I think my husband is afraid that his mom will get her feelings hurt if my mom gets to go in and that, to me, is her problem. But I am going to honor my husband's wishes and only have us. Any tips on what to tell my mom? My mom and I are very close. We do a lot of stuff together. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com 09/18/2006 by april_hwth

For liberals who believe in elastic, "living" laws, reacting to a court decision is a simple matter: They either like the result or they do not.
For conservatives, who believe judges should apply the original intent of laws to the circumstances before them, the reaction can be more difficult – or should be.
Rarely is that more clearly, or painfully, demonstrated than with the recent decision by the Arizona Court of Appeals striking down two education voucher laws.
Conservatives have tended to denounce the decision. To me, however, it seems that the justices were simply doing what conservatives say they want judges to do.
I say that as an ardent supporter of vouchers.
Education vouchers are fair. Parents who choose to send their kids to private schools shouldn't be deprived of their share of the common resources government involuntarily collects through taxation for the education of children.
Vouchers promote equality of opportunity, giving poor parents access to many of the same educational choices affluent parents have.
And there has been enough experience with vouchers now to conclude that they provide measurable benefits without any detrimental effects.
Parental satisfaction with the schools voucher students attend goes way up. Both voucher students and students in public schools experiencing voucher competition show modest academic gains.
So, as a matter of public policy, I support the two voucher programs at issue – one for foster kids and the other for disabled kids.
However, there is a provision of the state Constitution, there from the beginning, that reads: "No tax shall be laid or appropriation of public money made in aid of any church, or private or sectarian school."
The historical context involves efforts to cope with a wave of Catholic immigration around the end of the 19th century. Public schools at the time often had a Protestant orientation. In some parts of the country, Catholics agitated for public support for their own schools.
In part to preclude that, Arizona and many other states adopted constitutional provisions such as this.
The broadness of the language in Arizona's Constitution, and the historical context, make the intent fairly clear: The framers wanted public expenditures on education limited to government schools.
In 1999, the Arizona Supreme Court did uphold Arizona's tuition tax credit law, which gives a tax credit for donations to organizations that provide scholarships to private schools. However, the court based the decision on the fact that the money never got to the state and hence wasn't a public expenditure.
This might seem a dodge, and in part it is.
But, as the majority opinion pointed out, the only alternative is to contend that all money belongs to the state and thus a decision not to tax is the same as a decision to spend.
Since the state's original Constitution also exempted church property from taxation, the framers obviously didn't agree that a decision not to tax was a decision to spend.
Vouchers, however, are appropriated money from taxes received. Nevertheless, voucher supporters have some decent arguments based upon finely parsing the specific language of the constitutional ban.
I deplore where this leaves public policy. Vouchers are much preferable to tax credits. Good tax policy involves low rates on broad bases.
Tax credits erode the tax base and depreciate in value as tax rates are lowered. So, reliance on tax credits puts good education policy at odds with good tax policy.
However, the maintenance of a free society depends on laws having a fixed meaning. Government cannot be limited if judges feel free to lift or change the limitations.
I think the framers were wrong to limit public expenditures for education to government schools. But that's pretty clearly what they intended.

CHICAGO — New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez will be interviewed by Major League Baseball as part of its investigaton of his involvement in illegal poker games.
Rodriguez also faced questions about his gambling habits in 2005, when the Daily News reported he attended games at an underground poker club in New York. The slugging third baseman later acknowledged, "It wasn't the right thing to do," and checked with MLB before holding a charity poker tournament the following year.
Now baseball wants to talk to him again.
"We take this very seriously and have been investigating this matter since the initial allegation," MLB said Wednesday. "As part of the investigation, the commissioner's office will interview Mr. Rodriguez."
Rodriguez is on the disabled list and wasn't with the team Wednesday night in Chicago.
"I don't really have any comment on that," manager Joe Girardi said before the Yankees played the White Sox. "Let baseball handle those things."
Star Magazine reported last month several people saw Rodriguez playing in games hosted at Hollywood hotels and residences. According to the allegations, Rodriguez participated in the illegal games, one of which cocaine was "openly used" and another that "turned violent."
Rodriguez is not alleged to have used cocaine or have been involved in any violence. The report said Rodriguez lost a "few thousand dollars."

HI Ladies, please let me know what you think!
I've tried some diff. types of diets over the past few years, from raw, to grain free, to veggie.
A few things that have been pretty consistent....
I eat a pretty clean diet, with almost no dairy, breads or soy a lot of veggies, but fruit, infrequently. I eat meat once or twice a week.
It seems that no matter what I eat, a big salad, a large apple, a modest size bowl of beans and greens, or "meat and potatos" type of meal, any thing of a "normal" meal size, I get tired, bloated and have a "sugar crash" type of reaction. Digestion seems to take for ever, AND I can't seem to loose any weight.
I'm about 15-20lbs overweight and have been for several years.
Eating anything but snack sized meals leave me exhausted, bloated and tired, but snacking all day will leave me hungry and dizzy.
SO, Im wondering if a digestive enzymes might help, and what kind/brand?
TIA, Danielle

Iran disclosed a new uranium production facility and two extraction mines on Tuesday to mark "National Nuclear Day" following last weeks stalled nuclear talks over the country's enrichment program. Iran opened Saghand 1 and 2 uranium mines in Yazd in central Iran, and the Shahid Rezaeinejad yellow cake factory.
According to Iranian state-run television, the Ardakan facility in Yazd annually produces 60 tons of yellowcake, an impure state of uranium oxide used in the uranium enrichment process. Although the opening of these new production plants do not constitute a technological breakthrough for Iranian nuclear capabilities, the new facilities produce more raw materials needed to enrich nuclear fuel into weapons grade uranium.

In February, the six world powers met Iranian leaders and urged them to suspend enrichment work at Fordo and slow the production of nuclear fuel. In addition, the six concluded that Iran could keep a small quantity of 20% enriched uranium for the production of medical isotopes.
As a result of continued uranium enrichment, members of Congress continue to push for sanctions against the Islamic Republic. A recently drafted Senate bill punishes foreign countries conducting business with any Iranian government controlled entity. Additionally, it would ban Iran from using earnings from oil exports to buy anything other than food and medicine.

Numbers show steady growth on state exchange
Covered California said last week that a flood of interest inundated its phone banks and website in early December, and on Thursday the state's health exchange backed up that statement with hard numbers.
More than 49,000 Californians signed up for plans in the first week of the month and more than 31,000 enrolled on Monday and Tuesday of this week, said Peter Lee, the exchange's executive director.
"That's 15 times the rate of enrollment we were seeing when we opened our doors in October," Lee said.
When added to the 109,296 Californians who enrolled in October and November, the total so far is nearly 190,000.
While that number is still far short of the 500,000 to 700,000 Californians projected to enroll by March 31, Lee said the exchange always expected enrollment volume to increase as Dec. 23 approached. That's the last day that Californians can buy coverage and have their policies start on Jan. 1, 2014.
"We believe these numbers are going to grow because Californians are talking to Californians," Lee said.
Covered California has led the nation in enrollment. Though the state makes up about 12 percent of the nation's population, California has captured 29 percent of Obamacare enrollments through November, according to a federal report released Wednesday. California's exchange has had fewer glitches than healthcare.gov, which handles enrollment for 36 states.
The data show that younger purchasers, those ages 18 to 34, have enrolled in numbers just a bit less than their representation in the state's overall population. But older Californians, those ages 45 to 64, have enrolled at levels much higher than their portion of the state's population.
The exchange also released a demographic enrollment breakdown for October and November.
Many have worried in recent months that, if enough young people do not buy exchange plans, rates will have to increase because older people generally have more medical needs, and younger, less medically demanding residents will need to take up the slack. On Monday, despite the clear lean toward older residents, Lee said the numbers of younger Californians enrolling was encouraging.
"Having young people enroll is a key harbinger for good rates in 2015," Lee said.

Kevin Nash in GFW
Once Mike Tenay was forced to turn down their offer because TNA officials reportedly felt that it was a conflict of interest, Jeff Jarrett looked at other candidates to join Jim Ross during the first GFW pay per view taking place in Japan next month. Several candidates were interviewed, and one of which really stood out above the rest. Kevin Nash was said to have been in discussion for the commentating job, but his focus right now is on Hollywood.

Egg-citing Redemption
By Raz
The buzz along the banks of the Willamette River began to intensify as the afternoon wore on and a blazing July sun beat down on Portland.
In the parking lot of the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the Disaster Relief Trials Cargo Fair floated in an easy-going manner for a small crowd while, somewhere out there in Portlandia, about 50 competitors zoomed around performing feats of Cargo Madness.
The concept of Disaster Relief Trials are simple: Show off what support human powered machines might be able to provide in a disaster situation. Competitors ride from station to station, performing tasks and picking up cargo along the 30-plus mile route.
The route itself is challenging. Pick your own route. Just get to the stations and perform your tasks.
Among those hauling around Portland were Bike Friday engineer Willie Hatfield and Co-Founder Alan Scholz. They came to Portland to show off Bike Friday's new Cargo Bike, the Haul-a-Day.
Willie is no stranger to racing with the Haul-a-Day. He rode one of Alan's prototypes in the Eugene Disaster Relief Trials in the fall of 2013.
Willie placed second, although he did cross the finish line first. However, part of the challenge was transporting an egg, intact, to the finish line. Willie had broken his egg, and was delegated to second place.
So, back in the OMSI parking lot, as the excitement built in anticipation of the finish, we knew Willie had been among the top three for most of the day. He led at one point, then fell a couple of minutes behind two local competitors.
Willie and Alan, of course, live in Eugene. That put them at a bit of a disadvantage in knowing the best routes to take.
Then the PA Announcer barked that they were getting close to the finish. At one of the last checkpoints they would receive eggs. We looked at each other as the tension mounted. Did Willie learn his lesson?
To best understand who Willie is, rewind first of all to the moment I went to Willie to propose he ride in Portland on Bike Friday's behalf. Willie said he already committed to riding there, and agreed to ride in support of another local Eugene rider.
See, last year in Portland, a ringer showed up. Depending on who you talk to, he was a professional messenger/delivery biker from New York City. NEW YORK CITY!
Of course, he won in Portland. So the tight-knit gang from Eugene hatched a plan to make sure nothing like that would happen this year. They wanted to put Eugene on the Cargo Bike map, and show the folks in Portland what we're made of down south.
"So," Willie said, "I'm not going there to try to win myself. I'm there to ride in support. Are you okay with that?"
"Sure," I said. "That's really the Bike Friday spirit, not to mention the spirit of Disaster Relief: Find a way to help out, and be there for anyone."
In the time between then and the Trials, Willie's responsibilities at Bike Friday grew. He also came up with some ideas for a modified version of the Haul-a-Day to build for the race.
"I wanted to build something that was loud, and stood out," the typically soft-spoken Willie said. "I wanted to build something that would kick a– and really show everyone what we are capable of doing at Bike Friday."Without question, Willie produced something loud, his paint job called Pink Lemonade. He also designed a pair of unique cargo racks that some so-called experts questioned, whispering under their breath, "I think he might have some trouble with those."
We heard that Willie took the lead by the third station, but then we heard how that station challenged them. They would have to pick up a wooden pallet, and carry it for the rest of the race.
Suffice to say, the imagination of the crowd went crazy. How would you carry a pallet?
"I just threw it on and strapped it down," Willie said, "I really didn't have any time to think about it."
At the seventh station, where they had to pick up a box of food — some as heavy as 30 pounds — Willie arrived in third place, but found the two leaders forced to completely unpack and repack. Again, Willie's strategy was simple.
"I just tossed it on and strapped it on," Willie said. "I gained a lot of time there."
For sure. Willie crossed the line in 3 hours and 11 minutes. Two minutes later, second place Ryan Hashagen of Portland finished, dragging his cargo across as his trailer tipped.
Amazingly enough, it would be 19 minutes before the first true Cargo Bike arrived after Willie. But that came after the PA Announcer greeted Willie as the first finisher, but asked if he could show his eggs. Willie reached back into the pockets of his Bike Friday Compass Jersey, and thrust a third-carton of eggs into the air, unharmed. The victor.
Alan crossed the line 16th in the Open Division, covering the course in 4 hours and 29 minutes. His attention to detail displayed for everyone in how neat and simple his packing was on the standard Haul-a-Day rack.
All smiles, Alan was tired, but had a great time.
"That was quite a challenge, but also a lot of fun," Alan said.
As for the gang from Eugene, who Willie planned to ride in support of, well, they finished and were thrilled to see that Eugene stood atop the podium.

Tribute to Graham Day
[EDITOR'S NOTE: Graham Day passed away on April 15, 2014. According to his wife Margaret, Graham died at home, peacefully and with the whole family around him. You can leave a tribute to him in the COMMENTS section below.
The Days came to visit the Bike Friday factory in 1995 to pick up their Bike Fridays, and to check out the company. After getting a tour and meeting with Co-Founders Hanz and Alan Scholz, they promised to introduce Bike Friday to Australia.
They did exactly that, with a passion and determination unmatched in the history of our company. To date the Days are responsible for more than 300 referrals.
The Australian Bike Friday Club is one of the most dynamic, vigorous clubs in the world. Its annual Gathering [see Robbie Dow's report below on the 2014 event] is the gold standard for the Bike Friday Community.
We hope all Bike Friday owners take a moment to share the wonderful memories of Graham and Margaret Day, and tell the tales of their incredible impact on our company.]
A tribute from Bike Friday Co-Founder Alan Scholz:
As a cycling Oregonian from the Emerald City it was my good luck and pleasure to have ridden tour with Graham Day in OZ.
We live a long way apart — Oregon to Australia — but the dynamic duo of Graham and Margaret has been an important part of my life since meeting them 19 years ago in 1995 when they visited to pick up their Bike Fridays. I hope they knew, and know, I love them.
Even though I build many travel bikes for the intrepid traveling cyclists of the world, I am pretty much of a stay at home guy. My world has felt much bigger ever since my trip to Australia. That wedge into my consciousness to include far away Australia into my world made, I feel, my life a great deal more substantial.
With the fine folks I continue to meet in that part of the world through them, I can truthfully say that Australians are some of my most favorite people.
Of the few travels I have done, one stands out in my memory above others. That was a trip to do the yearly Australian Bike Friday Club Gathering in the early part of this century. The trip in many ways was overwhelming.
But I want to say to all as I cannot to him, one of my most favorite and stand out memories was riding, talking, and being in a group with Graham. I remember one corner we waited on together out in the country somewhere. We were fixing a flat or waiting for someone to catch up, but it stuck in my mind. It was one of those moments where you say to yourself, "I enjoy this moment and this person is somehow part of enjoying it. I really like being around them. They are safe, they are gentle, and they care."
I have carried in my heart since that tour with the fine Aussies, Graham as fine of a friend as you could have. One you do not need to confirm that he is there or has your best interest at heart. I am sure that many from his extensive family and friends will miss him. I will carry him in my heart along with the rest of that exceptional experience that he, Margaret, Bronwyn, Dave and all the others enabled.
I feel loss with his passing and send my love to Margaret and all those others that were/are part of Graham's life. And know you feel as I do, he made our lives better.
From the Bike Friday Oregon side to the Australia Bike Friday side.

The 18th ABFC Gathering
By Robbie Dow / Bike Friday Sales Manager
The 18th Annual Gathering of the Australian Bike Friday Club (ABFC) took place in early April 2014, and I was quite fortunate to be a part of it.
Before the trip started, I was looking forward to meeting several Australian Bike Friday owners, people I'd only talked to via phone and email. However, I was a bit worried about the group rides, as it was nearing the end of winter in Eugene, and I really wasn't in cycling shape.
Also, while I had ridden longer rides on other bikes, my experience with my Bike Friday Silk was limited to commuting and other short rides, so I wasn't really sure how it would hold up to the 50km and 60km group rides planned for the event. There's only one way to find out!
I flew from Eugene to Los Angeles, and then to Sydney, a day later than originally planned due to a visa glitch. The flight to Sydney was only about half full, and I was fortunate to have a row of three seats to myself. This meant I was able to sleep for about 8 hours total, which helped make the 15 hour flight a bit more bearable.
When I arrived in Sydney, Bike Friday owner George Leindekar was kind enough to meet me at the airport and ride the commuter train with me to Central Station in Downtown Sydney. George then helped me get set up on the train to Mt. Victoria. I had two Bike Friday travelcases (one with my Bike Friday Silk, and another Silk that I brought along for the trip), a third suitcase with my personal belongings, and a backpack. I am quite thankful to George for his help, as I don't know how I would've managed with all of my belongings without him.
Even though I was exhausted and jet-lagged, I couldn't stop looking out my window of the train and taking in the surroundings. The city gave way to countryside, and the train slowly worked its way up an incline through the Blue Mountains to Mt. Victoria. When I arrived at my stop, Bronwyn Laing of the ABFC picked me up, and we went over to her place for a short time before getting back in the car and driving to the town of Rylstone.
Here's the interesting thing about the ABFC gatherings. The event originally started as a day ride, expanded to a weekend, and kept growing in size over the years. The 18th annual event spanned five days and attracted 138 attendees, mostly from Australia, but also a few people from other countries. Even still, the five days of riding weren't enough for some, so a dozen or so riders planned pre-event rides.
I met the rest of the pre-event crew in Rylstone, and then I assembled my Bike Friday and prepared it for the next day. We had a fantastic dinner at the local pub/hotel, and I shared a room at the pub with fellow Bike Friday Silk owner, Mitsuo Tadokoro, who was visiting from Japan. The next morning I headed off on my first ride of the trip, a 55km outing to the town of Mudgee.
The ride was amazing — lots of grazing land, with beautiful rolling hills. Early on I saw a wallaby in a field along the road, and there's just nothing like seeing a wild animal as you ride past on a bike. Riding on the left side of the road took a little getting used to, but by the end of the trip it seemed fairly natural.
We stopped for lunch at a small one-room school in the town of Lue. The teacher came out of the classroom and welcomed us. She said we could use the covered outdoor tables in the school yard (it had warmed up quite a bit, so the shade was certainly appealing) for our lunch, and she even offered us tea and coffee!
After we ate, 18 or so curious and enthusiastic grade school children came outside to meet us, and next thing I knew I was answering questions about Bike Fridays and America one after the next. One of the children asked why I talked so funny. Another boy was about as tall as me, and when one of his classmates pointed out that the two of us were the same height, the boy said, "Hooray, I'm an American!"
I didn't know what to expect on my visit to Australia, but I certainly didn't expect to interact with a group of eager school kids. It was a real treat.
We rode some more, and eventually the rest of the pack pulled away from me as I began to lose steam. I arrived in Mudgee in last place (not that we were racing), and this is where riding on the left side of road became a bit more of a challenge for me, as there were numerous roundabouts running clockwise with quite a bit of car traffic.
Fortunately, the drivers were courteous, and I fumbled my way through the roundabouts to the campground, or as it's known in Australia, "caravan park." I've never seen so many Bike Fridays in one place at the same time, and I work for Bike Friday! I was also surprised to see so many tandems and tikits, but they performed on the long rides just as well as the other Bike Fridays.
The next several days were a blur of riding, meeting people, answering questions, and seeing what people have done with their Bike Fridays. The day rides around Mudgee were incredibly beautiful, with more rolling hills, and a plethora of wineries and grassy fields. The Aussie Bike Friday folks were exceptionally friendly, and everybody went out of their way to make me feel quite welcome. They're also quite passionate about their Bike Fridays.
Often, I would forget I was on the other side of the planet. But then a car would drive past on the left side of road, or I would hear people would talk with an Australian accent, and I would realize where I was. One person corrected me when we were discussing the brake levers on his Bike Friday: "It's not 'levers,' it's 'leevers.'" So I pronounced it "leevers" for the rest of the trip.
This year, the club set aside a time for people to sign up to give presentations and share their experiences traveling on their Bike Fridays. This proved to be a really popular event, and it was fun hearing about all the places people have gone, and the unique experiences they've had on their Bike Fridays.
Friday was the longest ride of the event, the "pub ride." There was a shorter version of the long ride, but I missed the turn for that one and ended up taking the long ride, which ended up being around 70km. We met at a rural pub — the Cooyal Hotel — and I was ready to stop and relax with some lunch. It was fun to see all the Bike Fridays lined up outside, like brightly-colored, small-wheeled biker gang.
Saturday was "fancy dress day," and several people dressed up in costumes for the day's rides. That evening, we all gathered at the local country club for a banquet dinner. I gave a presentation about Bike Friday — who we are, what we've been doing, and what's to come. This was followed by a charity auction that raised over $4,000 for Guide Dogs Victoria, an organization that provides services for vision impaired people, including assistance with tandems, so vision impaired people can ride a bike.
On Sunday, I skipped the group ride so I could focus on packing and getting ready to leave. I caught a ride to one of the area wineries where the gang had assembled for a final lunch. I was able to say goodbye to several people before I left. Unfortunately, I missed many people I would've like to have said goodbye to, but I guess I'll just have to catch them next year.
So how did the Silk do? Smooth as Silk. The Alfine 11 hub gave me a nice, wide gearing range, and the only maintenance I had to do was a brief tweak of the shifter cable. Some of the riding was on rough, bumpy gravel roads, and I was surprised at how well the bike handled the terrain. I'm considering switching from a 60t to a 55t belt ring for better hill climbing gearing, as I only really used the top end gears on steep downhill slopes. I'm also considering a lightweight Pocket Crusoe for next year's event, which will be held in the town of Mansfield in the Australian Alps.
After the event, I had a few days before my flight left, and I'm especially thankful to Bike Friday owners David and Jenny Ingham, who were gracious enough to let me stay at their beautiful house in Manly. I was also able to do a little exploring in Manly Beach and Sydney, which proved to be a lot of fun.
The night before my flight, I was invited to an amazing dinner at a French Bistro with a dozen or so Bike Friday folks, and it was a fantastic way to close out the adventure. I am just amazed at how something as simple as a shared interest in a travel bicycle can bring together so many people to become life long friends.
It's the magic of Bike Friday.

Rafterman, on 08 October 2012 - 11:20 PM, said:
A bigger problem is the culture of storytelling and fakery (you know, the ones that call it "research") that has built up around the Bigfoot legend. If Bigfoot is real then why are so many people mistaken or faking it? Do people really believe that Finding Bigfoot is about finding an undiscovered species?

Fort Meade airman takes tap-out win in MMA bout
October 13, 2011
Related Links
FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. - Battled but barely bruised, David Perez stood proud and victorious within the confines of a steel cage.
By way of tap out by submission, the Air Force technical sergeant sealed his first professional win during a mixed martial arts fight Saturday night. Perez was the seventh bout at Shogun Fights V held at 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore, where he matched up against Mike Young.
The event featured professional fighters from Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Washington, D.C.
It was a rear naked choke that finished Young off early in the second round of the fight, but his training at Gaffney Fitness Center prepared Perez for victory.
Perez, of U.S. Cyber Command, trains daily with the Fort Meade-based MMA team, Team Warfighter. Fighters meet in the Combatives room at Gaffney to sharpen their skills in the sport that combines various disciplines of fighting into one full-contact combative sport.
In addition to training with his team, members from Perez's home gym in Albuquerque, N.M., traveled to Maryland to prepare Perez for his second professional MMA fight. Perez has also fought in eight amature bouts.
Thomas Schulte of the Fit NHB gym arrived about a week before Shogun to be in Perez's corner, but he was mostly here to prepare Perez mentally.
"All the things Dave is good at, he doesn't need a ton of help from me," Schulte said. "I'm mostly here to light a fire under him and get him excited."
Training for Shogun intensified about four or five weeks ahead of the fight. In the month leading up to Shogun, Perez trained in two or three sessions a day, with each session running between 90 minutes to two hours. Sessions were broken up into different disciplines that focused on each aspect of the complex sport.
"For a fighter who's serious about the sport, you do your hard work prior to the last couple weeks," Schulte said. "It's Week Five and Week Four and Week Three that you really kill it."
Perez also started a rigorous sparring routine in his training schedule. He would spar in six, five-minute rounds, alternating the disciplines in each round. This helped Perez tweak his techniques in all of the disciplines he would need to combine for a successful fight.
"I'm going all six rounds with a fresh guy," he said five days before the event. "We changed up disciplines: the first five minutes is stand-up, the second five minutes jui jitsu, third five minutes wrestling and then we do the last three like MMA --mixing it all up."
Outside of the gym, Perez studied his competition, creating a game plan for taking down his opposition. For the Shogun fight, Perez matched up against a former two-time Maryland State High School wrestling champion. Perez said he planned on dictating where the fight would go, depending on where he felt comfortable.
"He's a tough wrestler. I'm a tough wrestler myself, and I feel like I have a lot more tools," Perez said. "It's not going to be an easy fight, but it'll be exciting."
The week before the fight, training sessions began to simplify with more focus on technique. Perez said he also worked on getting down to his fighting weight of 145 pounds.
Schulte, who is a professional MMA fighter himself, said Perez was well-prepared heading into Saturday's fight.
"If he brings his A-game, he's not going to have any problems at all," Schulte said.
In Baltimore, members from Team Warfighter and Schulte escorted Perez to the ring surrounded by a chain-linked fence. Despite the fight being Perez's ninth MMA bout, Schulte predicted Perez would be nervous stepping into the ring.
"You never get totally used to it -- anybody who says they are is lying," Schulte said. "Everybody gets nervous, everybody's a little afraid. It's a fight, you're suppose to be. If you're not, you're not fighting somebody tough."
As the cage door closed, Perez and Young tapped fists and began their fight of three, five-minute rounds. The two danced around the center of the ring throwing a few missing punches and kicks. Young made the first move, driving Perez into the cage.
Perez fought Young off with a series of knees to the ribs, but ultimately Young was able to take Perez down to the mat. Despite the bottom position, Perez continued to control Young's posture and the fight with a series of elbows and punches from the ground.
"I was able to give him a few shots from off my back and deflect the few attempts he gave me," Perez said after the fight.
While on the mat, Perez attempted to place Young into a triangle chokehold but was unable to firmly grip his opponent. So he kick-pushed Young into the center of the ring, allowing Perez to get up. The first round ended in a near boxing match, as the two fighters exchanged blows while the bell rang.
Perez, who is typically a slow starter, said he could see that Young was tiring by the end of the first round.
"I was pretty sure he gassed himself trying to take me down, and he was getting tired as I was warming up," Perez said.
As the second round began, Perez took Young down and threw a series of headshots before putting him into a rear naked choke. Young was forced to tap out, ending the fight by submission.
After the fight, Perez said he was happy with his performance, but the fight didn't go according to plan.
"He was a strong opponent and it took me until the second round to figure things out," Perez said. "I expected to do that in the first, but I guess it was better for the fans to do it in the second."
The victory lifted Perez's fight record to 8-1, with a 1-1 professional record.
"This win definitely increases my confidence and climb in the ranks," he said. "I hope to be asked to compete at more shows around the country and continue to increase my record on the win side."

Prepare yourself according to exam pattern of NEET 2013
Aspirants this test is based on multiple choice questions, there are total 180 questions that includes subjects such as botany, physics, zoology and chemistry means 45 questions from each subject. Equal marks means equal importance of every subject. Time is very less to go with every subject deeply but it is good to read every topic thoroughly rest of work will be done by the proposed four options of given questions. Try to cover thermodynamics, work and energy, optics and electrostatics in physics , mostly questions covered by these topics. In chemistry electrostatics, polymers, organic chemistry, chemical bonding and hydrocarbons are very indispensable chapter regarding the exam. You can give less time to study medicines because there are very few questions asked in the exam but go partially to save more time for other subjects. Cell structure and its functions, plants, biotechnology and animals and plants organisation is essential subjects to watch regarding the exam point of view.
Coaching will surely helps to crack NEET 2013 exam
NEET is introduced by the Medical Council of India that is single and of course new exam includes various state level medical exams except AIIMS. So as a new exam for medical aspirants, there is truly a need of some coaching to crack it. Coaching institutes provides you some sample papers and tricks of NEET 2013 exam because official papers has not been introduced so far. Coaching institutes has imperative role to help you regarding the new exam pattern, as these institutes already tackles many state level medical entrance exams. If I want to suggest you a good institute for preparing this exam then I strongly believe in Aakash institute due their dedication and previous appreciable results. Otherwise you can choose any good and reputed institute for coaching purpose because your hard work matters more to crack NEET 2013 exam.
Online tests helps you to crack NEET 2013 exam
If you are not ready to join any coaching institute then you should join online practice test websites. There websites increase your chances to crack the NEET 2013 exam. Online practice tests are available for each and every subject including each and every chapter. Try to complete at least two chapters to get good rank in this exam. You can purchase CDs also to understand the concepts of every subject but online tests improve your skills and ability to acquire high rank in both state as well as national level. As time is not so much for appearing in NEET 2013 exam so it is recommended to you to take online test everyday. It will increase your performance, knowledge and you are able to know about your timing too.
NCERT books is more helpful to score good in NEET 2013
The time limit to solve the question paper is three hours and please note that there is also the provision of 1/4 negative marking.. To crack NEET 2013 medical exam aspirants should go through NCERT books because there are little difference between CBSE syllabus as compared to NEET but NCERT books includes all stuff may be not in details. NCERT books plays an essential and imperative role to crack any entrance exams conducted in India in both national as well as international levels. So complete study of NCERT books is always more beneficial than any other books. Read your plus one as well as plus two NCERT books with deeply and completely, you will find all concepts with diagrams explained. So there books has major role to crack medical exams.
NEET 2013 medical entrance exam is fresh and single exam conducted by CBSE with the consent of Medical Council of India. For students this is very new exam that facilitates them to crack single exam to take admission in many medical courses such as BDS, MS and MBBS etc. Burden of giving so many state level as well as national level medical exams has been vanished by this new proposal. With this new proposal students need to devote more time to study to fulfill the wish of becoming doctor in their life.

Mississippi Guardsman To Become First Non-Celebrity Face on NASCAR Cup Car
February 23, 2007
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Feb. 23, 2007) - A Mississippi National Guardsman will be honored this Sunday by having his image unveiled on the hood of a NASCAR Nextel Cup Car - the #25 National Guard/GMAC Chevrolet driven by Casey Mears.
Staff Sgt. Quinton D. Martin of Gulfport, Miss., has been named the National Guard "Hero of the Year" in a yearlong campaign launched by Jackson Hewitt Tax Service. This is the first time a non-celebrity will appear on a NASCAR Cup vehicle, which will be officially unveiled at a trackside press event Saturday.
Martin and his wife, Pat, who nominated him, will attend the race, along with nine other National Guard Soldiers who were named monthly honorees in the "Heroes" program.
"The National Guard has done a lot for me," Martin said. "I appreciate everyone who voted for me. I know there are many troops who deserve it. We're all in this.
Martin's unit was called up for overseas deployment in late August 2005, the day Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast area. Although his unit was released from duty abroad to deal with the impact of the storm at home, Martin volunteered to continue with his assigned mission and left for Kuwait as a member of the 1108th Aviation Classification Repair Activity Depot shortly after contributing to the relief efforts. He now serves at Camp Shelby with the 3rd Brigade, 87th Division, on Operation Warrior Training.
The yearlong "Heroes of the Year" initiative invited people around the country to nominate a National Guard Soldier, family or employer making a difference at home or abroad. Signa Kyle Lord, a family member in Fleetwood, Pa., was recognized for her troop-supporting efforts, as was Beach Manufacturing of Garden Grove, Calif.
"This was an outstanding campaign that allowed so many people to nominate and celebrate the bravery and dedication of our citizen-Soldiers, as well as the support of family and employers," said Col. Michael Jones, Army National Guard. "Quinton Martin is an example of the best and brightest serving our communities and serving our country. Nothing is more important to citizen-Soldiers than the support of their nation."
The nine other National Guard Soldiers honored were Staff Sgt. Robert, North Dakota Army National Guard; Staff Sgt. Benjie R. Wells, Mississippi National Guard; Staff Sgt. Brent D. Cobb, South Carolina National Guard; Maj. Terry McPherson, Alabama National Guard; Sgt. Corey Briest, South Dakota Army National Guard; Command Sgt. Maj. David G. Collins, Ohio National Guard; Staff Sgt. Robert Dollaway, New Jersey Army National Guard; Sgt. 1st Class Todd Tilkens, Wisconsin National Guard; and Sgt. 1st Class Jody Hayes, Iowa National Guard.
