- Arapahoe County paying top dollar for water that isn't yet approved for municipal use
Former Arapahoe County Commissioner Jim Dyer, who played a key role in a controversial $153 million water deal in Arapahoe County, has abruptly left the position custom-made for him five months ago.
It's unclear whether Dyer resigned or was fired as the Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority continues to grapple with the fallout from problems with the deal first revealed by The Denver Post in March. Two board members recently resigned because of conflicts of interest.
Dyer declined to discuss the circumstances surrounding his sudden departure May 31 as government-relations director. But he left two weeks after The Post requested 4 1/2 months of Dyer's e-mails to and from a number of individuals, including Robert Lembke, head of the United Water and Sanitation District.
E-mail correspondence between Jim Dyer and Bob Lembke
Lembke and United are an integral part of the water deal, in charge of building a reservoir and delivering water rights to the ACWWA. Lembke is considered a divisive figure in Colorado water, using the power of his special district to buy and sell water up and down the Front Range.
Looking out for others?
Some of the e-mails, obtained this week, indicate Dyer may have been looking out for Lembke's interests as well as the ACWWA's. Dyer sent Lembke confidential, nonpublic information about a potential project and forwarded Lembke the authority's internal discussions, including those from an attorney.
Other e-mails show a back and forth between Dyer, Lembke and Lembke's brother, Ron Von Lembke, on how to best position themselves with respect to the Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency (WISE) project. The regional collaboration potentially poses a threat to Lembke's ability to provide water to growing south suburban communities.
"I'm no longer authorized by ACWWA to discuss their affairs," Dyer said in an e-mail. "I will say, however, that my past activities were all within the scope of my job as director of governmental affairs and involved public information."
ACWWA head Gary Atkin refused to say whether Dyer was asked to leave, whether the e-mails played any role in his departure or whether he was concerned about any of Dyer's e-mails to Lembke, saying the e-mails involved "personnel matters."
A May 31 meeting with Atkin "resulted in (Dyer's) separation from employment," according to a June 2 letter from the ACWWA to Dyer. It does not appear Dyer received severance pay, but he did collect his last two days of salary and any accrued vacation and sick time.
Lembke, who has said in the past that he has known Dyer for years, said Monday that Dyer was his contact person at the ACWWA.
"He has never worked for us," he said. "ACWWA and United are working closely together. (Dyer) was our primary conduit."
While an Arapahoe County commissioner, Dyer also was chairman of the ACWWA board and helped negotiate the deal with United.
The Post reported in March that the ACWWA signed a no-bid contract with United and another entity to deliver water to its customers without ever looking at alternatives. The deal was put together quickly and mostly out of the public eye, despite the fact that ratepayers and district taxpayers are on the hook for the bond money.
Although the ACWWA has received only the agricultural rights to the water, it paid United the going market price for water that already has been adjudicated for municipal use.
Reservoir nearby
Additionally, The Post reported in April that the ACWWA is paying United $14 million for a reservoir it never determined was needed, while a nearly empty reservoir a few miles away could store water for half the price. The ACWWA had not put together design plans or cost estimates on how and where the water will be stored there, and how it will be used.
Dyer went to work for the ACWWA in January after his commissioner term ended. Atkin said a few months ago that he hired Dyer for the unadvertised, newly created position because he was a "particular type of person with a certain set of skills with a certain type of abilities."
From January through the middle of May, Dyer forwarded e-mails to Lembke about internal goings-on at the ACWWA, including details about matters not related to United and correspondence from an ACWWA attorney, that included legal strategy (which was redacted in The Post's copy).
At one point, he e-mailed Lembke information from a feasibility study for Walker Reservoir, still in the planning stages. That study is considered confidential "work product," according to the Cherry Creek Public Water Authority, of which the ACWWA is a member.
In other e-mails, he forwarded or updated Lembke and Von Lembke about potential ACWWA water clients, such as Furniture Row, and issues involving the WISE project. For instance, prior to an April 12 meeting in Douglas County, where the commission approved a resolution supporting WISE, Dyer sent both men an e-mail asking whether the three should provide the commission some "educated analysis" on the matter. Lembke has a competing interest in bringing water to that county.
Dyer also forwarded e-mails with pipeline-project details and meeting specifics regarding the South Metro Water Supply Authority, of which the ACWWA is a member.
When Dyer relayed that the SMSA wouldn't permit Lembke to attend a meeting because it was for board members, Lembke responded: "Let's discuss. We can have some fun."

The Super Bowl Ads &
Media Literacy
Copyright 2009 Frank W. Baker
Here are some questions you might have your students ponder before the game:
1. What do you know about the Super Bowl game? Where did you learn it?
2. Why does the game get tremendous media attention every year?
3. What makes advertisers want to put their ads on this once-a-year sporting event?
4. Why does ad time cost $4 million for just one 30-second ad?
5. Who decides what order the ads air during the game?
6. How do advertisers create buzz about their ads, even before the game is broadcast?
7. Create a chart listing the known advertisers and their parent companies.
8. How many ads are for: alcohol? dogs? cars? movies? Why is this so?
9. Which ad(s) are you looking forward to viewing and why?
10. How do advertisers make money from their Super Bowl spots?
11. Might you find ads inside/outside/above the stadium? If so, where? Be on the lookout for
not-so-obvious ads during the broadcast. (Students might want to create a list)
Here are some questions to consider after the game:
1. What ad(s) did you find most entertaining, and why?
(students should be specific and give details here)
2. What ad(s) did you find the most dull, and why?
3. Which ad(s) did you think were most effective, and why?
4. Which ad(s) were you most willing to share (email, tweet about) with a friend?
5. Which ad(s) featured well-known personalities? Why?
6. Which "techniques of persuasion" were used in each ad?
(teachers might want to print out a list and have students match the ads with those on the list)
7. Calculate the total cost to the TV network if each ad costs an estimated $3.5-$4 million.
8. How do Super Bowl advertisers get mileage for their message before and after the game?
9. How many ads did you spot inside the stadium?
Survey classmates, parents, grandparents: ask each to list their 3 favorite ads.
Compare and contrast responses. Why do some ads appeal to different genders and age groups?

Why are these companies allowed to continue to stoop to dialing numbers listed on the do not call list.
When I asked the caller to provide me with their location I was told I was asking too many questions and she offered to remove my phone number from their data base. Once I informed her I was on the do not call registry and her company was in violation of 2 counts of federal law she became defensive and hung up the phone.

This issue of ETS Policy Notes (Volume 12, No. 2) provides details on the ETS seminar, African American Education and Achievement: Progress Made, Challenges Ahead, held on October 3, 2004, in Princeton, NJ. The day-long event, which drew more than 100 education and public affairs professionals, assessed the challenges facing African Americans in all levels of education, including access to high-quality prekindergarten, elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education; the progress made in closing the achievement gap; and the challenges facing colleges and universities in their efforts to enroll, retain, and graduate these students. Three of the presentations are highlighted in this issue: "Affirmative Student Development: Closing the Achievement Gap by Developing Human Capital," by Edmund W. Gordon, the Richard March Hoe Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University and the John M. Musser Professor of Psychology Emeritus, Yale University; "Closing the Gap at the Starting Gate: Why the Court Ordered Preschool Education" by Ellen Frede, assistant to the commissioner, Office of Early Childhood Programs, New Jersey State Department of Education; and "African American Teachers' Perceptions of Their Role as Teachers of African American Students: The Unexamined Variable" by Jacqueline Jordan Irvine, the Charles Howard Candler Professor of Urban Education, Emory University. Another presentation has been published as a Policy Information Perspective titled "Affirmative Action and Diversity: The Beginning of the End? Or the End of the Beginning?" by Mark R. Killenbeck, the Wylie H. Davis Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Arkansas. Other participants in the seminar included Henry Braun and Catherine M. Millett, ETS; M. Christopher Brown, Frederick D. Patterson Research Institute; and Eugene Y. Lowe, Northwestern University. This issue also announces the creation of the Edmund W. Gordon Chair for Policy Evaluation & Research by the ETS Board of Trustees.

Which sparked controversy from the hators, of course.

Criminal and Driving RecordsNo, a criminal record does not generally contain speeding tickets and accidents from a driving record. However, a criminal record will contain any driving-related convictions, such as DUI and DWI, that are also found on a driving record. Criminal records and driving records are two different records maintained by different governmental agencies.
Criminal records contain information about arrests and convictions of all kinds, while driving records contain information about a person's driving history, which includes driving-related convictions. Minor speeding tickets and traffic accidents are not criminal acts and are therefore not stored on criminal records.
There are exceptions. If alcohol or drugs are involved in the ticket or accident and it leads to a DUI or DWI, such a conviction will appear on a criminal record because it's considered a criminal act.
Also, hit and run accidents are criminal acts which appear on criminal records. But for the most part, if you're mostly interested in finding out about a person's driving history, it's best to simply obtain a driving record, which will contain all the information related to a person's driving history, including criminal-related driving.

When do Red tail Plattys give birth?
Hello and good evening. New to the site and I need help with my pregnant fish (s). I have been told by 2 fish stores here in town that "she will have them when she is ready". I don't want the poor thing to kill herself not having these things. The 2nd female is growing is size. It has been 5 weeks of "fat belly". She poops a lot so I don't think she is constipated.... HELP! When do they give birth and is there anything I can do? Lots of plants and fun stuff to hide in.....
she will give birth when Little fish begin popping out! It,s good that you have places for them to hide. Crushed flake food will be eaten by the babies so long as it is crushed fine. Don,t overfeed.
Plants and places to hide (along with clean water) is the best thing you can do for her. Usually livebearers will give birth after 4 weeks. However, young ones who haven't had many pregnancies before can take much longer. One time I had a guppy who was pregnant for over 2 months!
Just give it time and she will have those fry with no troubles at all. Have fun!!!
Ah, I also forgot to add. You'll know she's really ready when she "squares out". You'll see her belly near her gravid spot point out and if you look at her from behind her body will look squarish. Believe me, you'll know it when you see it. This means she's just about to drop her fry.
OK ! I was getting worried. It has been over 5 weeks, but if they can take longer, patience is one of my few strong points. Thanks for the help!
Platies will typically give birth every 4 to 6 weeks. That means if you got her right after the last drop, it could still be another week. Since each platy tends to be consistent, try recording when this drop starts and when the next one starts and you will know how often to expect this particular platy to deliver a new drop. BTW the platy color only matters to people, the fish don't care and all colors will be about the same.

The Panama City Community Redevelopment Agency is working to rejuvenate the downtown area.
Saturday, they hosted an open house with the hopes of bringing in more businesses by promoting vacant properties.
Officials say they hope to bring more retail, commercial, and office options.
Despite the tough economy, organizers celebrated at least one building that sold on Saturday.
"Downtown represents the core of our community and we're going to make investments in that community and we're gonna stand up and believe in the downtown and it's a great vibrant safe place," said CRA Director William Whitson.
This is the first open house that the Panama City CRA has held.

Denver Things to Do | Snowboard on the Block
Snowboarding fanatics flock to Denver Things to Do like Snowboard on the Block, which allows boarders to celebrate their sport through film and music near our Hotel in Denver.
About Snowboard on the Block:
It's no secret that snowboarding is huge in Colorado. Many of the visitors who stay at our Hotel in Denver are here strictly for the powder – and we love to let them know that there are many other Denver Events and Denver Things to Do that they might also enjoy. But, when snowboarding is in your blood, it's often easy to forget about all of the other Denver Attractions and Denver Activities. We get that.
While snowboarding season in Colorado typically opens in October, during September, you can still enjoy the sport – at the Snowboard on the Block film and music festival, which takes place minutes from our Hotel in Denver.
Snowboard on the Block is a 2-day party that's all about watching great snowboarding films and listening to incredible music. The weekend kicks off on Friday night, with a VIP Pre-Party. VIP tickets to the festival are the only way to get in on Friday night. On Saturday, the festival gates open at 11 a.m. and the ski films that everyone is waiting to see run all day long – accompanied by some of the best bands from all over the world who perform on 3 stages.
Why you should attend Snowboard on the Block:
In addition to viewing more than 25 new snowboarding film premieres – which are shown on massive HD projectors and a giant LED wall throughout the festival grounds – Snowboard on the Block features a shop selling cool snowboarding merchandise and an artist contest. If you love – or even like – snowboarding, Snowboard on the Block must be put on your list of top Denver Events to attend. Plus, there's an After-Party scheduled for Saturday evening that you can attend whether you have VIP access or not.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Without question, the pursuit for mobile device supremacy is the hottest battle on the market today. As rivals such as Apple (AAPL - Get Report) and Google (GOOG - Get Report) fight to put each other out of business, there are also chip companies such as Qualcomm (QCOM - Get Report) looking to dominate form factors with each device launch.However, with each passing quarter, it's evident that Qualcomm is winning its "internal" battles by a greater margin over Intel (INTC - Get Report), than say, Samsung is outgaining Apple in units sold. This means that so long as the mobile devices race continues, Qualcomm is the surest bet in this unreliable sector. And if Q1 earnings were any indication, this chip giant is not done rewarding investors.
By contrast, Texas Instruments (TXN - Get Report) just posted revenue of $2.98 billion -- down 12% sequentially and down 13% year-over-year. Worse, this marked the fifth consecutive quarter of declining revenue. And the company is not expecting much sequential improvement as it issued revenue guidance that represents 6% decline. This means that Texas Instruments expects to continue to lose market share not only from Qualcomm, but also Intel, which seems to be on a verge of a comeback after posing Q4 revenue of $13.477 billion that just barely missed estimates by less than 1%. Considering Intel's recent seemingly dysfunctional operation, this qualified as a win.

Cheers and applause erupted Wednesday when the court struck down a law denying federal benefits to married gay couples and cleared the way for resumption of same-sex marriage in California.
The crowd grew and by evening it included hundreds of people, including many same-sex couples, dressed in red, white and blue and waving rainbow flags. One person carried a sign that said, "Today we are American."
Paul Katami, one of the plaintiffs in the case, said his court fight "was about liberty and the freedom to marry the person you love."
Equality California canvasser Brianna Eaton said it's a historic day that many people had been hoping would come.

- A boot-strap Poisson-Boltzmann theory for the structure and thermodynamics of charged colloidal solutions
- Author(s)
- Petris, Simon N.; Chan, Derek Y. C.; Linse, Per
- Abstract
- The structural properties and thermodynamics of one- and two-component solutions of charged colloidal particles with explicit counterions have been investigated by Monte Carlo simulation. A boot-strap Poisson-Boltzmann (BSPB) theory has been developed to interpret these results and the accuracy of its predictions is compared with other existing theories. The BSPB was also used to predict the gas-liquid binodal and spinodal curves for a one-component system with colloid charge to counterion-charge ratio Zr = 10.

Invasive Species
From cane toads to kudzu, invasive species (sometimes called alien species) are those that aren't native to an ecosystem and that cause harm to native species, local economies or humans. Invasive species can be terrestrial species, like the pythons invading Florida's Everglades, marine, like the lionfish invading Caribbean waters, or pathogens. Invasive species can cause harm by out-competing native species, or preying on them. They can sometimes increase fire risks or contribute to erosion. Some invasive species have been introduced accidentally and others, like kudzu, were introduced on purpose and then spread more widely than originally intended. Invasive species are found in every type of habitat and are typically difficult to eradicate. Read more about invasive species around the globe and efforts to stop their spread.

At 74, Yalom has penned a book that is the climax of his lifework, focusing on the universal human issues of mortality and death. He suggests that what he calls the "awakening experience" can help us acknowledge, accept, and utilize our fear of death in a very positive manner. Such an awakening experience can be as simple as a dream, or quick as a sudden insight. It is often a loss, a trauma, or just plain aging that can prompt an awakening experience that is a turning point for a more meaningful life. He discusses how people can make lasting changes in their lives, rearrange their priorities, communicate more deeply with those they love, eliminate interpersonal fears of rejection, and increase a willingness to take risks for personal fulfillment and a life filled with love.
©2009 Irvin D. Yalom; (P)2009 BBC Audio
Say something about yourself!
"Positive & Life Affirming"
Let me start by saying that the title of this book and the publisher's summary makes it seem that it will be dark and scary territory. While there is an open discussion about fear, anxiety and death the book is very positive and life affirming.
Yalom offers a balanced, insightful and humane approach. More importantly his long career as a therapist and a professor/trainer of other therapists brings into play a rich background of actual experience. I really enjoyed the case study approach of this book. To me, hearing about the concerns and struggles of real people takes the material out of theory and makes it both tangible and useable.
Recommended if you are a therapist or are interested in working with panic and anxiety issues on a personal level. Fascinating and engaging concepts to assist in focusing on living life fully not fearfully.
"Must read"
This book is awesomely thought provoking and is greet for all aspiring counselors and therapists or anyone looking at working in the helping profession with those facing end of life and those who are grieving
"Staring at the Sun"
While another excellent book by Irvin Yalom, Staring at the Sun, falls short of maintaining the same momentum as other texts by Yalom like The Gift of Therapy, Love's Executioner, and Creatures of a Day. A useful tool for therapists and counselors, the book presents and engaging and thought provoking discussion about the death that does not allow you to look away from the sun.

The goon approach served
us poorly on Lower Churchill
So Premier Danny Williams is lecturing New Brunswickers about giving away their hydro asset.
Theyve sold the farm, he says, using phrases like complete capitulation in accusing New Brunswick of selling away its future.
Our premier is blowing smoke on this one, however. Just over a year ago, Williams himself suggested that his government might sell Nalcor for the exact same reason New Brunswick is selling its asset. Heres what Danny Williams said to the House of Assembly, on April 30, 2008.
This particular government wants to strengthen Hydro, wants to make it a very valuable corporation: a corporation that will ultimately pay significant dividends back to the people of this province; a corporation that perhaps some day may have enough value in its assets where hopefully we might be able to sell it some day and pay off all the debt of this province, and that would be a good thing.
You can read the remarks in their full context at the provinces Hansard site.
Isnt that odd? Williams would hopefully sell our energy corporation to pay down the provinces debt, a key reason why New Brunswick is now selling its asset. Yet, Williams accuses New Brunswickers of complete capitulation. Which is rather hurtful, dont you think?
Actually, intemperate outbursts have been consistent throughout the premiers efforts to develop the Lower Churchill.
Lets start with Williamss decision, in May 2006, to go it alone on the Lower Churchill development, a decision that was something of a slap to Ontario, Quebec and other proponents who responded to the provinces request for proposals.
If you click the above link, you will note that the province doesnt acknowledge the respondents or thank them for their efforts. Nor does he explain why he is rejecting the proposals. There may have been good reason, but apparently they werent worth sharing with those who own the resource. (No, Danny doesnt own it. You own it.) Instead, we get this:
We know that we are capable of executing this project in a way that will ensure we maximize the returns while mitigating the risks, the premier said. We have the experience, knowledge and capacity to take on a project of this magnitude and we are recognized as world leaders in hydroelectric operations and development. This is about doing it by ourselves, for ourselves. We are on a path to be masters of our own destiny and the successful development of this project will be a significant step forward in reaching that ultimate objective for this province.
Of course, we couldnt literally go it alone. We still needed customers to buy the power, financial backers, loan guarantees from the federal government and a way to get the power to market through other jurisdictions. No matter how you cut it, a co-operative not combative approach was needed.
Unfortunately, Danny Williams was not the man for the job. From that day forward, the project development process was characterized by name-calling and back-biting.
In September 2006, Williams used his typical approach of putting down others in an attempt to put himself in a better light.
The more we can spread out our energy supply means that we won't be totally dependent on Quebec for energy which, given the volatility of the politics in Quebec, could be a very, very sensitive situation in the years to come, Williams said. He apologized for the comment three weeks later, then retracted in the same breath by saying he was stating reality.
In July 2007, in an interview with The Independent, Williams said he wanted to bypass the Hydro Quebec power transmission route for all the obvious reasons. The reporter didnt ask what those reasons were, but presumably they had to do with historical resentments. This was odd, given that the Quebec route was the most logical and cost-effective means of getting power to market. It was a pointless comment, and not exactly diplomatic.
Have I missed other instances where Williams picked a fight on this matter, rather than built relationships? If you can add some, please comment below. (But please limit comments to this specific issue; there isn't space to list all the premier's insults, attacks and outbursts.)
Then there are the attacks he made last month on New Brunswick, which were ill-considered and patronizing, given his own musings on selling Nalcor as recently as 2008.
Last week on VOCM Open Line, Williams described Quebec Premier Jean Charest as a friend, which might be a good relationship to maintain, given recent developments. Alas, he has burned that bridge too.
First, there was Williamss comment that, over my dead body am I going to hand this over to Jean Charest in Quebec, which was odd, given no one is asking him to do such a thing. The situation is far more complex than that.
And then, last Thursday, there was this report from CBC Radio-Canadas Telejournal program:
Dans une entrevue CBC News, hier soir, M. Williams a carrment trait Jean Charest de menteur aprs que ce dernier eut affirm que la tarte est assez grande pour tout le monde pour subvenir aux besoins des Amricains. Je ne l'ai pas vu dire cela, mais je prsume que son nez allongeait lorsqu'il parlait, a-t-il dit.
Heres a rough translation:
In a meeting with CBC News, yesterday evening, Mr. Williams bluntly stated Jean Charest was a liar when he asserted the pie is big enough for everybody to meet the needs of the Americans. I did not see him saying it, but I guess his nose was growing when he spoke, he (Williams) said.
So Charest is a lair too. Nice touch. Way to wreck those bridges, and come back for the footings.
And then, on top of all that, there was the revelation from Kathy Dunderdale, early in September, that the province has been trying for the last five years to sell an equity stake in the Lower Churchill to Quebec. She told VOCMs Randy Simms that the province got a path beaten to (Hydro Quebecs) door in its efforts to do a deal, but there was no take-up from Quebec.
This is not surprising, given the premiers habit of firing public broadsides, which could quite conceivably torpedo any private negotiations that may have been underway.
Meanwhile, what was Hydro Quebecs approach, after Williams rejected their proposal in 2006 and announced his go it alone decision?
One thing they didnt do was attack others and burn bridges. They went to work quietly, effectively, strategically and launched a plan to develop several hydro projects within Quebec borders, with a combined capacity of 4,500 megawatts (compared to the Lower Churchills 2,800 megawatts). They built relationships, and negotiated the purchase of New Brunswick Power.
While Danny Williams was talking tough for the benefit of the local crowd, Hydro Quebec quietly outflanked and outmaneuvered him.
We lost, and now the Lower Churchill is looking more and more like a dead horse.
To use a hockey analogy, I agree that there is a place for goons and enforcers in the game of politics. We have no shortage of that on our team, to be sure.
What we clearly lack is speed, skill and finesse.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina enters its regular-season finale against Duke with questions about the health of top rusher Giovani Bernard and the status of interim coach Everett Withers.
Bernard suffered a mild concussion in last week's loss at Virginia Tech, though Withers said Monday he is hopeful Bernard will return to full practice in the coming days. Withers also says he's not thinking about whether Saturday's game against the Blue Devils will be his last at Kenan Stadium since taking over for Butch Davis, who was fired just before the season amid the NCAA investigation into the football program.
The Tar Heels (6-5, 2-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) have lost four of five in the past month, though they're bowl eligible for a fourth straight season.

Before I ordered these, I was wanting to know if anyone in here has tried them out.
Before I ordered these, I was wanting to know if anyone in here has tried them out.
sorry to be a jerk, but you need to work on your verb tenses.
I haven't used them but I know they have killer brake levers that go with those bars. If you are into that sort of thing I mean.
Also, someone asked about these a few months ago and I think the overall opinion from everyone was that they wouldn't be that comfortable. They all said there weren't enough hand positions on them. I would love to try some though.
I think they would look quite terrible as a stand-alone bar. What is wrong with a standard bullhorn?
BTW- their brake levers, while killer, are priced accordingly.
I have this set-up on my Dual. I can't complain. It does the job.
I think those only look right in an 80's trans-am with an english acsent.
I'm not one for fawning over bicycles, but I do believe that our bikes communicate with us, and what this bike is saying is, "You're an idiot." BikeSnobNYC
I think they're hot, but ultimately would be uncomfortable for extended riding. Also, as I understand it, the Vision Tech levers are the only ones that actually fit properly in these bars.
I think the Vision Tech levers actually clamp on too. So who knows if levers actually fit IN the bars at all. But, if you are riding brakeless it's not a concern.
One word : "icky".

then this is really going to bother you...
seriously though, those bars can't possibly be comfortable.
very few in here will like them, but i do. if the rest of your bike is built with modern parts, i'd say try them.
i mean, 'too few hand positions', wtf does that mean? do you get bored with the normal hand position and them decide to mix it up for entertainment value? if anything, i would say the human body is the limiting factor of comfort in this case.
Liberi ed uguali
I have a set on my fixie right now with onee Tektro Bar end lever. We sell them, so
I thought I would try them out myself so I could give a true opinion on them, not just hearsay.
I really like them as far as their weight (light) and the feel. The bad things as mentioned previously is the lack of mulptiple hand positions. Also, don't ride them in the rain without putting some kind of grip on them. Even with gloves on my hands were sliding everywhere!
But for the 2 main hand positions you have, they are surprisingly comfy, BUT after a while (I did 100km on them yesterday) I start getting the wanting for some more hand movement on the bars.
Unless you have ridden on a bike with literally only one or two hand positions its hard to understand. Your hands can/will actually go numb from sitting in the same position for long periods of time, even in a good riding position. Cramping can also occur.Originally Posted by chzman
On tradition road bars, you have the drops, the hoods, and variouls points across the top of the bars. Standard Bullhords give you a few as well.
These give you 1 specific hand position on the bar ends (just wide enough for a hand, no movement. The flat of these bars is flat and wide, which doesn't allow you to grip it, although I've tried simply resting my hands on the flats a couple times.
So changing hand positions isn't for entertainment, but necessary, especially in long rides.
The fact is, these are time trial base bars. They're not designed for more than a few minute's use, providing manueverability and stability as you get up to speed before getting up on your aerobars for the main part of an already traditionally short event.
Yep and believe me after a 100km ride on them I was made fully aware of that!Originally Posted by bostontrevor
I had some and sold them after about a week. First off, they have no drop which I did not like. Second, the "horns" are way too short to get a good grip which forces your palm and fingers back onto the big flat piece which I found to be less than comfortable (and sketchy while skidding if that is your thing). Third, while on the top's, your wrists are angled inward which is the opposite of what naturally feels comfortable (look at nitto and syntace which have a more natural "back" sweep. And, as previously mentioned, in the rain there is absolutely no grip on these things.
They are very stiff and light though, I'll give them that.
Originally Posted by YellowFixedGear
IN FACT....If you are absolutely set on getting these, send me a PM and I will sell you mine for a great deal! Only 1week's worth of riding on it (including 1 x 100km ride). I'd even include a brake lever for ya
Just FYI. These are the intergrated bars. Not the ones in the pics above.JULY 26, 2005 -- WASHINGTON, D.C. (BRAIN)—VisionTech is recalling about 280 aerobars that were sold from March 2002 to March 2003. The centerpiece of the aluminum bars can crack or break, causing the rider to lose control and crash.
The following models are affected: SuperMax, TriMax, TriMax Plus and Pro.
VisionTech has received two reports of the centerpiece of these aero bars breaking, resulting in minor scrapes and abrasions.
The VisionTech logo is displayed in gold lettering against a black background on the wings of the bar.
FSA acquired VisionTech after the affected production run. Although many FSA/Vision bars share the same model names, no "Vision by Full Speed Ahead" bars are affected.
Consumers should stop using the bars and contact VisionTech at (866) 204-5798 to have their aero bars tested. A free replacement will be provided for any bars found defective.

Glendale median real estate price is $186,264, which is more expensive than 75.5% of the neighborhoods in South Carolina and 51.3% of the neighborhoods in the U.S.
The average rental price in Glendale is currently $747, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. Rents here are currently lower in price than 69.0% of South Carolina neighborhoods.
Glendale is a suburban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Glendale real estate is primarily made up of medium sized (three or four bedroom) to small (studio to two bedroom) single-family homes and small apartment buildings. Most of the residential real estate is owner occupied. Many of the residences in the Glendale neighborhood are established but not old, having been built between 1970 and 1999. A number of residences were also built between 1940 and 1969.
In Glendale, the current vacancy rate is 2.1%, which is a lower rate of vacancies than 91.8% of all neighborhoods in the U.S. This means that the housing supply in Glendale is very tight compared to the demand for property here.

"Merkel cell carcinoma." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
Note: This guideline has been updated. The National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC) is working to update this summary.
Merkel cell carcinoma
To provide consensus-based guidelines to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up for all stages of Merkel cell carcinoma
Adults over the age of 18 years with Merkel cell carcinoma
Note: Different principles may apply to pediatric patients.
Research Questions
Specific research questions to be addressed by the guideline document were formulated by the guideline lead(s) and Knowledge Management (KM) Specialist using the PICO question format (patient or population, intervention, comparisons, outcomes).
Guideline Questions
Search Strategy
The MEDLINE (1966 through January 2011), CINAHL, Cochrane, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Abstracts and proceedings, and CANCERLIT databases were searched. The search included practice guidelines, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and clinical trials. Search terms included: Merkel cell and cancer or Merkel cell carcinoma.
Not stated
Not applicable
Evidence was selected and reviewed by a working group comprised of members from the Alberta Cutaneous Tumour Team and a Knowledge Management (KM) Specialist from the Guideline Utilization Resource Unit (GURU). A detailed description of the methodology followed during the guideline development process can be found in the Guideline Utilization Resource Unit Handbook (see the "Availability of Companion Documents" field).
Evidence Tables
Evidence tables containing the first author, year of publication, patient group/stage of disease, methodology, and main outcomes of interest are assembled using the studies identified in the literature search. Existing guidelines on the topic are assessed by the KM Specialist using portions of the Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II instrument (http://www.agreetrust.org ) and those meeting the minimum requirements are included in the evidence document. Due to limited resources, GURU does not regularly employ the use of multiple reviewers to rank the level of evidence; rather, the methodology portion of the evidence table contains the pertinent information required for the reader to judge for himself the quality of the studies.
Formulating Recommendations
The working group members formulate the guideline recommendations based on the evidence synthesized by the Knowledge Management Specialist during the planning process, blended with expert clinical interpretation of the evidence. As detailed in the Guideline Utilization Resource Unit Handbook (see the "Availability of Companion Documents" field), the working group members may decide to adopt the recommendations of another institution without any revisions, adapt the recommendations of another institution or institutions to better reflect local practices, or develop their own set of recommendations by adapting some, but not all, recommendations from different guidelines.
The degree to which a recommendation is based on expert opinion of the working group and/or the Provincial Tumour Team members is explicitly stated in the guideline recommendations. Similar to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) methodology for formulating guideline recommendations, the Guideline Utilization Resource Unit does not use formal rating schemes for describing the strength of the recommendations, but rather describes, in conventional and explicit language, the type and quality of the research and existing guidelines that were taken into consideration when formulating the recommendations.
A formal cost analysis was not performed and published analyses were not reviewed.
This guideline was reviewed and endorsed by the Alberta Cutaneous Tumour Team.
When the draft guideline document has been completed, revised, and reviewed by the Knowledge Management Specialist and the working group members, it is sent to all members of the Provincial Tumour Team for review and comment. The working group members then make final revisions to the document based on the received feedback, as appropriate. Once the guideline is finalized, it is officially endorsed by the Provincial Tumour Team Lead and the Executive Director of Provincial Tumour Programs.
Note: This guideline has been updated. The National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC) is working to update this summary. The recommendations that follow are based on the previous version of the guideline.
No widely accepted or standardized staging classification based upon prognosis is available. The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) has developed a four tier staging system based on clinical presentation for patients with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). MSKCC's staging system shown in the table below is the most commonly used staging system consistent with the American Joint Committee on Cancer (Allen et al., 2005).
Table. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Staging System for Merkel Cell Carcinoma
History, physical examination, and relevant investigation should guide further treatment.
MCC patients with a tumour that is amenable to surgery, and is considered both radiosensitive and chemosensitive, benefit from management in a multidisciplinary manner.
Stage I and II
Stage III
Stage IV
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Protocol
Lymph node deposits of metastatic MCC may be difficult to identify on routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained sections. As for melanoma and breast carcinoma, the use of immunohistochemistry has been shown to increase the sensitivity of identifying occult lymph node metastases (Allen et al., 2001).
Based on recommendations from the College of American Pathologists (Rao et al., 2010) and discussions with M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Prieto, personal communication, 2010), the following protocol is suggested:
As for melanoma, the number, size, and intra-nodal location of any metastatic deposits of MCC should be documented in the final pathology report (see the appendix to the original guideline document).
Prognosis and Follow-up Evaluation
None provided
The recommendations are supported in part by systematic reviews and/or new or updated practice guidelines.
Appropriate management of Merkel cell carcinoma
The recommendations contained in this guideline are a consensus of the Alberta Cutaneous Tumour Team and are a synthesis of currently accepted approaches to management, derived from a review of relevant scientific literature. Clinicians applying these guidelines should, in consultation with the patient, use independent medical judgment in the context of individual clinical circumstances to direct care.
Not applicable: The guideline was not adapted from another source.
Alberta Health Services, Cancer Care

Cape Town welcomes #MeetSouthAfrica travel bloggers
Bloggers love South Africa – we know this from our #LoveCapeTown campaign. This campaign saw us bringing four international travel bloggers (@traveldudes @velvetescape @landlopers and @wildjunket) to Cape Town in July 2012 during a social media drive in which Capetonians interacted with the bloggers and their followers, telling the stories of Cape Town and her people.
Cape to Rio connections
Photo by Skye Grove The links between South Africa and Brazil can be drawn back a long way. The seas that supposedly divide these two countries in some sense unite them. Both ancient ships and hi-tech yachts have charted their course along these ocean lines. Pedro Cabral, the 15th century Portuguese explorer, was on his way to the Cape of Storms (named so by Bartolomeu Dias, another Portuguese explorer of the age, and one of Cabral's contemporaries) when he landed on the coast of Brazil.

As Portugal prepares to take on reigning European champions Spain at Cape Town Stadium tomorrow, coach Carlos Queiroz says that the team should learn from their 0-0 draw against Brazil in the group stages. Queiroz says that his team loves Cape Town and feels like coming home here. They are hoping the outcome of tomorrow's match will be similar to their crushing 7-0 victory over the People's Republic of Korea last week.

Software Secret Weapons™
Gang Of Four Software Design Patterns Java Script Crossword
by Pavel Simakov on 2007-05-07 16:14:42 under AJAX, view comments
Couple of month ago I have finished the JavaScript Crossword puzzle engine.
It is a complete JavaScript application generator that takes a list of words and their definitions and spits out a working JavaScript crossword.
You can see how the engine works by playing with Gang Of Four Software Design Patterns Crossword for example.
The JavaScript crossword engine is a closed-source at the moment. I was planning to collaborate with some folks from the Ontario Private School system as we did on the Google maps JavaScript framework for the Ontario Private and the Public schools. The project did not go forward as planned and I now plan to license, sell, or donate the JavaScript crossword engine to good folks for a good cause. Please drop me a line if you are one of those.
The JavaScript crossword engine was an attempt to create an interactive competitive educational product for a school. The children of various ages (and native languages) could solve the crossword and other educational puzzles while being in the class in the real-time. They could even compete with each other by solving one large puzzle collaboratively, while keeping the individual scores. The crossword competition concept is very cool! I might tell you a bit about this in some future posts.
Another application was considered in the creative advertising. One can create a crossword that, instead of the textual questions, shows the product pictures and asks the player to spell out the product names. You can see how we use the colored boxes instead of images in the Basic Colors Crossword . Check out Big Names in Fashion Are Puzzled Again types of questions that one might put together trying to appeal to the female audience.
The technology of choice is JavaScript. I continue to invest in the design and the architecture of the JavaScript applications. It seems to me that a lot of leverage can be gained in development of e-commerce and web applications by finding and reusing the proper abstractions in the user interface alone. The development cost of web apps can be reduced and the quality can be improved - dramatically!
The effective use of CSS was another area to practice in this project. Being in HTML and JavaScript since 1994, I used to leave CSS to the designers to worry about. Now I try to design the general approach to using CSS and the application skinning as a part of overall design of JavaScript application. As a result, the crosswords are styled exclusively with CSS and fully support skinning. I still have a little bit of work to do on using Attribute Acquisition in CSS to its fullest.
The words weaving turned out to be a very hard algorithmic problem and I am very happy that it is all solved now. I did not find any good recent open-source implementations, only an ancient one in C. I hope to see new crossword words weaving interview questions to replace the string reversal.

SBA helps homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes and private, nonprofit organizations fund repairs or rebuilding efforts, and cover the cost of replacing lost or disaster damaged personal property. These disaster loans cover uninsured or uncompensated losses and do not duplicate benefits of other agencies or organizations.
On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. FEMA's continuing mission within the new department is to lead the effort to prepare the nation for all hazards and effectively manage federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates proactive mitigation activities, trains first responders, and manages the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration.
