Among the many bicycles built for rotten roads, the Dogma K Hydro yields a striking ride. This Dogma carries the Pinarello DNA that produces stiff, ultra-efficient, crisp bikes that require attention but, with it, can be piloted in a razor sharp manner. Make no mistake: Thanks primarily to minute adjustments in angles and a slightly longer wheelbase, this frame is more forgiving than a pure Dogma. Yet Pinarello sticks with its asymmetric design (more strength where drivetrain and other forces are highest), and its top-level carbon, so the Dogma K rides with its teeth gritted a little more than some of its rivals.

What color is your darkness? As Mani (the moon) while following Mother Night in his chariot, is startled and his face becomes clouded, when out of a great abyss there arises a howling noise which quickly swells to a dreadful roar, so that the whole earth trembles as after a peal of thunder. The Ases are awakened by it, and the Einheriar snatch at their weapons, thinking Ragnarok has come. But Fenris it seems, has been awakened by the moon, and wanders, seeking something to eat.~ Asgard & the Gods

Shocked mum Louise Thomas found the bloody bodies of her son and his friend
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- April 27, 2013
WITH tears streaming down her face, a shaken mother ws consoled by friends just hours after she discovered the bloodied bodies of her youngest son and his mate following a suspected murder-suicide.
Louise Thomas was upstairs at her Westleigh home, in Sydney's northwest, when gunshots echoed through the house about 7.50pm on Thursday.
Ms Thomas raced downstairs to discover the body of her son Matthew Thomas, 30, and that of another 30-year-old man who friends said was known as Peter.
Police confirmed a man had arrived at the Quarter Sessions Rd house earlier in the evening and spent time downstairs with Mr Thomas before the shooting.
As police pieced together the events yesterday morning, Ms Thomas went to the dog grooming business she owns at Westleigh Shopping Centre, where family and friends had gathered. She trembled while talking to the group until her older son arrived to support and comfort her.
Police roped off the Quarter Sessions Rd house for much of the day, only letting Mrs Thomas and her son inside briefly to collect some pet birds and clothes.
"The mother of one of the victims was present at the scene but did not witness the incident," Inspector Colin Lott said,
Insp Lott said it was clear to police who fired the weapon. He said the men were friends but the circumstances surrounding the shooting were still being investigated.
"There was no trouble brewing prior to the incident," he said.
"The mother was aware someone had come over to their house. He had been there for about an hour."
Westleigh resident John Ly, 40, said he heard the gunfire: "About eight o'clock we were at home watching TV and heard three bangs.
"(They were) real loud, like fire crackers. One after the other within 20 seconds. We weren't sure what they were.
"Twenty minutes later we heard the ambulance coming and the police."

Interstate 75 provides the major link between the Southeast and the Great Lakes, serving the cities of Miami, Naples, Fort Myers, Tampa, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Lexington, Cincinnati, Toledo, and Detroit. A sentimental favorite of AARoads, annual road trips from the Midwest south to sunny Florida makes Interstate 75 a most enjoyable journey.
A well-traveled route, Interstate 75 has enough traffic to justify six lanes in most locations. The majority of the route accommodates six lanes in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. Several U.S. routes find their termini on Interstate 75, including U.S. 2 in St. Ignace, Michigan; U.S. 23 and U.S. 31 in Mackinaw City, Michigan; U.S. 10 in Bay City, Michigan; U.S. 24 near Pontiac, Michigan; U.S. 68 near Findlay, Ohio; and U.S. 74 near Cleveland, Tennessee (although some maps show U.S. 74 merged with Interstate 75 west to junction Interstate 24). U.S. 150 and 441 find their termini close to Interstate 75, on U.S. 25. U.S. 129 ends on a stretch of Interstate 40 in Knoxville that at one time was also designated as Interstate 75. U.S. 17, 19 and 301 in Florida also end close to Interstate 75 at U.S. 41.
The Mackinac Bridge, which carries Interstate 75 over the Straits of Mackinac between the Lower and Upper Peninsulas of Michigan, is a graceful suspension bridge. Photo taken in 2001 by Steve Hanudel.
The Mackinac Bridge was planned in the early 1950s with construction beginning on May 7, 1954. The span opened on November 1, 1957. The Mackinac Bridge has one of the longest suspension spans, with 3,800 feet between suspension towers; 8,614 feet between suspension bridge anchorages; and a total bridge length of 26,372 feet (approximately five miles). The bridge towers rise 552 feet above the surface of the lake, and the roadway is suspended 199 feet above the water.
Interstate 75 in Ohio is part of High Priority Corridor 76.
Interstate 75 parallels a variety of U.S. routes along its six-state journey. Between Miami and Chattanooga, Interstate 75 closely parallels U.S. 41. Northeast from Chattanooga to Knoxville, it follows U.S. 11 closely. U.S. 25 remains in the shadow of Interstate 75 from Knoxville north to Cincinnati, with I-75 replacing U.S. 25 from Cincinnati to Detroit. I-75 also replaced U.S. 10 from Detroit to Bay City. North of Bay City, Interstate 75 followed a new alignment before meeting and replacing U.S. 27 near Grayling, U.S. 23 & 31 across the Straits of Mackinac near Mackinaw City, and U.S. 2 from St. Ignace north to Ste. St. Marie.
Interstate 75 begins its northerly journey at a relatively innocuous location, the interchange of Florida 826 (Palmetto Expressway) and Florida 924 (Gratigny Parkway) in Hialeah, just northwest of Miami. This was not the original planned southern terminus. When plans for extending Interstate 75 south of Tampa were first concocted, Interstate 75 was planned to begin at the current interchange between Interstate 95 and Interstate 395 in downtown Miami. Interstate 75 would have followed Florida 836 (Dolphin Expressway) west past Florida's Turnpike (Homestead Extension) and followed U.S. 41 northwest to Naples, then north along its current alignment to Tampa. At the time this was considered, Interstate 395 was still to remain as is; one would have thought that Interstate 75 would have continued east of Interstate 95 along with U.S. 41 to the beaches with the planned alignment, but it was not so. FDOT maps confirm that the southern spur to Miami Beach was to be Interstate 395.
However, with pressure to upgrade the tolled Alligator Alley (old Florida 84) to a superhighway, Interstate 75 was extended instead along that route. The route was changed sometime in the mid-1970s; it may have been as late as 1977 when Interstate 75 was relocated to the Alligator Alley/Florida 84. 6 This allowed the originally planned freeway corridor along the environmentally sensitive U.S. 41 corridor to remain a two-lane highway. As a result of using the Alligator Alley, Interstate 75 was too far north to meet Interstate 95 in downtown Miami, so Interstate 75 was rerouted to meet Interstate 95 in North Miami, near I-95 Exit 9 (Junction Florida 924). Due to local opposition, Interstate 75 did not make it all the way southeast to Interstate 95; it was truncated at Florida 826/Palmetto Expressway. A portion of the freeway between Florida 826 and Interstate 95 was constructed; however, it was built as a toll road and not included in the Interstate highway system since it did not meet another Interstate at its end.
A planned freeway, not yet acted upon, would parallel Florida 953/LeJeune Road south along a former railroad right-of-way to the east, ultimately connecting Florida 924/Gratigny Parkway with another freeway but not an Interstate. This freeway would extend south to meet Florida 112/Airport Expressway and Florida 836/Dolphin Expressway. Currently, there are no plans to extend Interstate 75 southeast along the Florida 924/Gratigny Parkway and Florida 953 corridor.
Leaving South Florida, Interstate 75 follows Alligator Alley, a toll facility linking the Miami metropolitan area with Naples and Fort Myers. Yes, there really are alligators hanging out in the canals and waterways along Interstate 75, especially through the Big Cypress National Preserve. This is the only toll road along the entire length of Interstate 75 (there is a toll bridge in Michigan). Although the Alley is east-west, the Interstate 75 is signed north-south. The project to widen the Alligator Alley from two to four lanes was completed in 1992, and tolls were slated to be removed at that time. Ongoing mitigation for Everglades restoration, wildlife portals, fences, and other requirements have kept the tolls as a necessity for maintenance and monitoring that is not required on other sections of Interstate 75. Between Exit 48 (Big Cypress Indian Reservation) and Exit 80 (Florida 29), Interstate 75 passes through the Big Cypress National Preserve, a rare example of an Interstate highway passing through a national park.
From Miami north to Tampa, Interstate 75 parallels U.S. 41. U.S. 41 is a toll-free alternative to Interstate 75 across the Everglades and through Big Cypress National Preserve, but with only two lanes and limited passing opportunities. Upon reaching the turnoff to Marco Island at its junction with Florida 951, U.S. 41 becomes very congested and slow as it ascends the Gulf Coast of Florida. Since completion of Interstate 75 through Southwest Florida in the mid-1980s, through traffic has diverted from U.S. 41 to Interstate 75. With the inland suddenly open for development as never before, Interstate 75 fostered the construction of housing, shopping, and entire communities within the shadow of the freeway. Previously empty interchanges grew to include traveler services, malls, and condominiums. Traffic has increased between Naples and Tampa due to the explosive growth of this region, and much of the route carries at least six lanes now. A previous widening plan under consideration for Interstate 75 in Collier and Lee Counties north of Florida 951 focused on financing expansion with toll (HOT) lanes. In 2005, state legislation approved the Southwest Florida Expressway Authority (now defunct) to oversee this future widening. And commonly known as the IROX project, the first 30 mile portion transformed Interstate 75 from four to six lanes between Collier County 846 (Immokalee Road) in North Naples to Florida 884 (Colonial Boulevard) in Ft. Myers.
Until the completion of the freeway from Tampa to Naples in the mid-1980s south of the Tampa-St. Petersburg metropolitan area, Interstate 75 reached its southern terminus at the interchange of Interstate 4 and Interstate 275 in downtown Tampa. Prior to its extension south of Tampa, I-4 continued southwest on current I-275 south to St Petersburg, where it ended near downtown. So when it came time to extend Interstate 75, planners had a decision: should I-75 be routed through Tampa and St. Petersburg or keep it inland as a bypass of the metropolitan area? The initial decision was to route Interstate 75 along the current alignment of Interstate 275 through both Tampa and St. Petersburg, while an Interstate 75E was proposed to take the current alignment of I-75 east of town. By 1973, the current configuration for I-75 was selected, and the freeway was completed east of Tampa Bay in 1986. Even so, the secret Florida state road designations betray the original intention of this highway: I- 75 follows SR 93 for its entire length through the state with the exception of the bay area. SR 93 runs along I-275 instead of the Interstate 75 bypass of Tampa; I-75 around Tampa follows SR 93A.
Interstate 75 widens to eight lanes through the Brandon area east of Tampa due to commuter traffic. North of Tampa, Interstate 75 becomes the main gateway corridor from the Midwest states to Florida. Traffic is funneled to Interstate 75 via Interstate 74 and Interstate 64 from Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, St. Louis, and Minneapolis. Interstate 75 itself carries travelers from Detroit and Ontario. Many segments of I- 75 are subject to delay as a result of the increased traffic related to the Christmas holidays and spring break.
The following are key dates in the history of Interstate 75 in Florida:8
The 355-mile stretch of Interstate 75 through the Peach State was constructed between February 1950 and December 1977.10
In southern Georgia, Interstate 75 had several business loops that served cities such as Valdosta, Tifton, and Cordele. These business connections lead to U.S. 41 through these towns. At Macon, Interstate 75 meets Interstate 16, which connects Savannah to Atlanta. The Interstate 475 bypass is worthwhile for saving a few miles between Florida and Atlanta.
All of Interstate 75 between the Florida state line and Macon carries six overall lanes. The stretch between Exit 18 (Georgia 133) and the Crisp/Dooly County Line near Milepost 106 was expanded as part of a $776-million project constructed between 1996 and April 8, 2011.2 Work added lanes on the inside of the freeway right of way with a concrete barrier median separating traffic. Many overpasses were also raised to current Interstate standards.
Further north at the city of Macon, Interstate 75 again faces construction. Beginning at Hardeman Avenue and concluding at Pierce Avenue, the north-south route will see reconstruction and widening. This includes improvements to the western terminus interchange of Interstate 16 at Exit 165. Planning to improve the deficiencies at this interchange have been underway since the early 1980s. These processes initially culminated with the agreement of the preferred alternative at a Public Information Meeting held on October 24, 2000. 3.3 miles of the freeway was expanded leading northwest from Macon by November 2013,3 but continued delays have pushed back road work at I-16 to at least 2018 now. See the Georgia I16/I75 Project web site for more details.
Continuing northward, Interstate 75 maintains six lanes through to the metro Atlanta area, where the freeway swells with 16 overall lanes along side I-85 on the Downtown Connector. Traffic and capacity issues plague the Atlanta metropolitan area routinely and improvement projects are always ongoing or in development. One such plan was the "Freeing the Freeways" mega project. Split in a series of projects strung out between 1976 and 1994, work along I-75 rebuilt the freeway from the Downtown Connector northwest to the Perimeter Highway (Interstate 285) from 1982 to 1987. Redesign of the Downtown Connector, including an overhaul of the junction with Interstate 20, followed between 1985 and 1988.
The arrival of the Summer Olympic Games in 1996 in Atlanta was preceded by the restriping of Interstate 75 to accommodate HOV lanes between May 1995 and May 1996. The HOV aspect of I-75 and other Atlanta area freeways restricted travel in the left-hand lane to HOV-2 eligible motorists. Lanes are enforced 24 hours a day.
Some HOV lanes in the Atlanta were converted to HOT Lanes and more conversions are planned in the future. The success of the I-85 Express Lanes from Atlanta northeast to I-985 spearheads the drive to convert more lane miles into managed lanes along Interstate 75, more of I-85 and possibly I-285. As such, work between October 2014 and December 2016 adds two reversible HOT lanes (I-75 Express Lanes) to Interstate 75 from Georgia 155 (McDonough Road) north to Georgia 138 (Stockbridge Highway). The Northwest Corridor project will add Express Lanes between Akers Mill Road to Hickory Grove Road in addition to HOT lanes along I-575. Totaling 29.7 miles of managed lanes, construction may be complete by 2018.
As a numbering side note, Atlanta is one of a small number of cities that carry two I-x5 interstate highways within its borders. Other examples of this include Interstate 35E and Interstate 45 in Dallas and Interstate 5 and Interstate 15 in San Diego.
Leaving Atlanta, Interstate 75 leads northwest toward Chattanooga, still parallel to U.S. 41. The entire stretch maintains at least six lanes. The last section of Interstate 75 to open between Tampa, Florida, and Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, was a 17.8 mile section between Marietta and Cartersville, Georgia. It opened on December 21, 1977.9 Widening of the freeway between Bartow County and the Tennessee state line included the opening of new lanes betewen U.S. 411 (Exit 293) and GA 140 (Exit 306 on August 26, 1987 and between GA 140 and GA 156 (Exit 315) in late November 1987. Further south construction to expand I-75 to ten lanes between Windy Hill Road (Exit 260) and I-575 (Exit 268) got underway in 1988.
Once at Chattanooga, Interstate 75 changes direction from northwest to northeast. U.S. 41 departs toward Nashville and Chicago, while I-75 picks up U.S. 11. Here, I-75 provides the connection between Interstate 59 and Interstate 81, both of which parallel the U.S. 11 corridor. Interstate 75 meets Interstate 40 near Eaton Crossroad, and they merge for their journey toward Knoxville with up to eight overall lanes. In Knoxville, Interstate 75 ran through Downtown along I-40 to Interstate 275 north from 1958 to 1982. The route shifted to the Knoxville bypass (I-640) when it was completed to alleviate Interstate 40 downtown. AASHTO previously approved the relocation of I-75 and establishment of I-275 in Knoxville on June 22, 1980.
Some of the most beautiful mountain scenery along Interstate 75 can be found north of Knoxville en route to Kentucky. This stretch of freeway parallels U.S. 25W.
A feasibility study proposed in 2002 and dubbed the "Interstate 175 Corridor," focused on a parallel corridor to Interstate 75 in Kentucky and Tennessee between Chattanooga and Lexington. The unfunded concept paralleled Interstate 75 to the west, perhaps along the U.S. 27 or 127 corridors.
Although Interstate 75 closely parallels U.S. 25 from Knoxville to Cincinnati, it does not take long for the route to be completely absorbed by the Interstate. U.S. 25 comes to its end at the Ohio State Line as it crosses the Ohio River with U.S. 42 and U.S. 127. All of former U.S. 25 has been transferred to local control or made into a secondary state highway from Cincinnati north to Detroit, excepting Ohio 25 between Bowling Green and Toledo and U.S. 24 between Toledo and Detroit. The decommissioning of U.S. 25 by 1974 is a philosophical difference: Some states prefer to keep the parallel U.S. highway designated, while others prefer to eliminate them as the Interstates were constructed. Good examples of this are former U.S. 25 and former U.S. 21 in Ohio.
The Brent Spence Bridge, opened in 1963, is a double-decker bridge that crosses the Ohio River between Covington, Kentucky, and Cincinnati, Ohio. In early 2004, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet introduced six alternatives for the Brent Spence Bridge, which is in need of expansion in order to accommodate the increasing traffic flow:7
The new bridge would be built west of the existing Brent Spence Bridge in order to avoid an electrical substation and historic Longworth Hall. These alternatives, released as part of a $2 million study, would take over a decade to construct once funding is made available. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet hoped to refine its list of alternatives to two choices in 2005. Since Kentucky owns the bridge, it was thought the state would bear most of cost.7 More recent news on the bridge indicates that tolling may be necessary to secure funding and shorten the time table needed to replace the span. Construction is expected to start in 2017 on the Spence Bridge Replacement. More details and a time line for the project are found at the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor web site.
North from Cincinnati, an Ohio Department of Transportation project known as the Thru the Valley Project or North-South Transportation Initiative, focused on growing congestion along Interstate 75 from Ohio 561 north through Warren County. 2003 estimates were $1.56 million for the project, which included an option for new light rail, with $1 billion allocated to the stretch through Hamilton County.1,4 Preliminary studies and design work commenced in May 2004 to widen and reconstruct the freeway between Paddock Road and Interstate 275.
The carriageways of Interstate 75 separate by up to a half mile through Lockland, Ohio. Southbound travels below grade at Exit 12 between Wyoming Avenue and Lock Streets. This view looks from the Wyoming Avenue overpass at the Cooper Avenue off-ramp. Photo taken November 8, 2009.
Due to cost increases and rising inflation, work on the Thru the Valley Project was split into eight phases in 2009. Phases 1 and 2, potentially starting in 2016, included portions of I-75 between Shepherd Lane (Exit 13) and Glendale-Milford Road (Exit 14). All other phases are unfunded with time tables to be determined. When completed, Interstate 75 expansion will bring the freeway to eight overall lanes, with added auxiliary lanes where needed.
Two other reconstruction projects in Ohio rebuilt Interstate 75 at both Dayton and Toledo. The Downtown Dayton Sub-Corridor project began in fall 2007 between Edwin C. Moses Boulevard near Exit 52B (U.S. 35) and Keowee Street, near Exit 54B (Ohio 4). Work added a lane in each direction while rebuilding ramps or closing ramps and replacing left-hand exits with right-side ones.
A 15-mile stretch of Interstate 75 was completed by Dcember 1, 1968 from Cygnet (Exit 171) north to Ohio 582 at Dunbridge (Exit 187). This left just a four-lane divided highway at the north end of Dayton to be upgraded from Lafayette and Michigan Streets in Toledo southward to Kentucky as complete.16 A new interchange opened between Interstate 75 and the Ohio Turnpike (I-80 & 90) at Perrysburg following a ceremony held on December 4, 1991. Five years of planning and three years of construction resulted in the new junction, 28 years after I-75 was completed over the toll road. The exchange was never built during the original I-75 construction due to a lengthy dispute over funding of interchanges at toll roads.17
Under a 10-year $5 billion transportation improvement plan announced August 6, 2003, by Governor Bob Taft, Interstate 75 was expanded from four to six lanes between Interstate 475 (Exit 205A) and 280 (Exit 208) and between 14th Street and Anthony Wayne Trail near downtown Toledo. Additionally the Interstate 75 and 475 interchange (Exit 205A) was reconstructed and improved. A three year six cent hike to the state motor fuels tax helped cover the costs of these projects.5
A 52-mile section of freeway from Toledo to Detroit, Michigan was dedicated on May 22, 1959. Known unofficially as the Seaway Freeway and signed first as U.S. 24, the freeway was initially planned in 1949 with construction underway in 1952. The 18.3-mile portion in the Buckeye State, including I-280 south from Manhattan Boulevard in Toledo, cost $38 million and included the Craig Memorial Bridge over the Maumee River. The Michigan stretch of I-75 extended the superhighway 34 miles northward to Sibley Road near Detroit at a cost of $27 million.12 With construction starting on February 4, 1970, the Manhattan expressway portion of I-75 to the north of Downtown Toledo added another 2.3 miles to the route in Ohio. The $6.9-million segment opened to traffic on November 12, 1971, eliminating a long distance detour for through travelers using I-280 south to U.S. 20-23 west to Perrysburg. Instead motorists were directed to U.S. 24 (Detroit Avenue) via the Phillips Avenue extension from then Exit 102 (Exit 206) to rejoin the freeway leading south from I-475. This surface route remained in place until the opening of I-75 by the Jeep Corporation complex.13
When the last 1.7 miles of Interstate 75 opened in Toledo following a ribbon cutting ceremony held on December 6, 1972, the Toledo interstate system was completed. The final section, costing $18 million, joined I-75 with I-475 (Northwest Expressway) leading west to Sylvania and the remainder of the route encircling Downtown to the west.14
Leaving the Buckeye State, Interstate 75 approaches the Detroit metropolitan area. The freeway was nearly complete from the Ohio state line to the Standish area north of Bay City when an eight-mile segment of I-75 (Chrysler Freeway) opened between I-94 (Edsel Ford Freeway) and Nine and Half Mile Road in Detroit. A formal dedication ceremony was held in Detroit January 10, 1969 for the $65-million roadway, which was described at the time as the longest and most expensive urban expressway link to be completed at once. Opening during the same week was the remaining section of I-75 near Tiger Stadium, to the southwest of Downtown Detroit. All that remained otherwise was a 1.5-mile portion of incomplete freeway due to right-of-way ligitation in the Royal Oak area.15
Construction completed in July 2009 reconstructed the interchange with Interstate 96 as part of the Ambassador Bridge Gateway Project. The work improved the connection between Interstate 75 and the Ambassador Bridge linking Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. Interstate 96 eastbound was extended beyond its current terminus at I-75 to the bridge into Canada, while the westbound connection remains incomplete due to a jurisdictional dispute between the Detroit Bridge Company and MDOT. This project began on February 25, 2008.
Interstate 75 leaves downtown Detroit with a northerly trek toward the Upper Peninsula via one of the country's longest suspension bridges, the Mackinac Bridge. The Mackinac Bridge is symbolic for connecting the Lower and Upper Peninsulas of Michigan. Spanning the Straits of Mackinac, this toll bridge crosses over waters that freeze in the coldest winters. The left lane of the bridge is steel grating rather than concrete. Mackinac Island, home of famous Mackinac Island fudge, can be reached by ferry from either Mackinaw City or St. Ignace.
The northern terminus of Interstate 75 is at the Port of Entry in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Beyond the Easterway Avenue interchange (Exit 394), the freeway narrows to two lanes to cross the International Bridge. The tolled arched truss bridge opened to traffic on October 31, 1962, linking Sault St. Marie Michigan with Sault St. Marie, Ontario. The two-year long International Bridge Toll Plaza project replaces conventional toll booths with a new enhanced toll collection system. The $8.9-million project commenced in May 2014.

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Even with its undisputed claim as America's most popular sport, the NFL realizes its entertainment product has a stubborn blemish.
Too often, too many games in the final weeks are meaningless. Playoff spots are clinched with a week or two to spare, sometimes even with three weeks remaining, as was the case with the 1996 Broncos and 2005 Indianapolis Colts.
For the NFL owners meetings that begin here today on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, commissioner Roger Goodell believes he has a reseeding plan that will rid the league of its late-season problem. His proposal would allow wild-card teams to have home-field advantage in the playoffs against division champions with inferior records.
There's only one problem with this concept.
"I think it's a very bad idea," Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said.
If one of the league's most influential owners doesn't like the reseeding proposal, don't expect it to receive the necessary 75 percent of ownership vote. Bowlen shudders at any brainstorm that brings reward reduction for winning a division.
"Especially when you're in a competitive division," Bowlen said. "It can be tough to have a good record when you have so many tough teams in your division. In my mind, the AFC West is a very competitive division. The fans are into the rivalries that exist in our division."
But by putting home-field advantage at stake, the thinking is teams that have clinched their division championship would be less inclined to rest their most valued players for the playoffs.
"I think that's true," Bowlen said. "I'm not criticizing the commissioner, other than to say it doesn't work in Denver. And it probably doesn't work in Philadelphia, or teams that have longtime rivalries."
Not every proposal will get shot down, however.
• As an answer to Spygate, the league is expected to allow one defensive player to wear a radio device in his helmet.
"I hope this is its time," said Rich McKay, co-chairman of the NFL's competition committee.
Relaying defensive signals audibly would eliminate teams from trying to illegally decipher opposing hand codes. The Patriots and coach Bill Belichick were severely penalized for illegally taping opposing defensive signals last season.
"I think due to the controversy, it's something that will be looked at differently this year," Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
• The league is expected to adopt an expansion from the present 80-man training camp roster to at least 86 players, if not 90. The expansion would compensate for the NFL Europe roster exemptions lost when that league folded.
• The NFL wants to restrict players from draping their hair over their name sewn on the back of their jerseys.
The proposal has become politically sensitive as the players union has inferred such a rule would be biased against African-American and Polynesian cultures.
Versatile lineman.
Last season, second-year offensive lineman Chris Kuper started the Broncos' final 11 games at left guard in place of injured Ben Hamilton. With Hamilton fully recovered from his concussion injury, Kuper will get a chance this offseason to compete with Colorado State product Erik Pears at right tackle.
Ryan Harris, the Broncos' third-round pick in the 2007 draft, is expected to replace the retired Matt Lepsis at left tackle. There is also the possibility the Broncos will use their No. 12 overall draft pick on an offensive tackle.
Broncos coach Mike Shanahan arrived at the owners meetings appearing fit, tanned and relaxed. He won't speak publicly until the AFC coaches breakfast Tuesday. . . . The first kicker selected in last year's draft was Justin Medlock, who was cut by Kansas City after missing a 30-yard field goal on the first drive of the season. Medlock is now in St. Louis, stuck behind the league's highest-paid kicker in Josh Brown. He has received permission to seek a trade. The Broncos are interested, but not at the expense of a draft pick. . . . The Broncos also are considering bringing in veteran free agents John Carney and Paul Edinger to compete with Matt Prater, who remains the top candidate to replace Jason Elam.

A car wash owner in Rocky Mount says he is not degrading women by having them wash customers cars in their bikinis.
The owner of the car wash, Larry Hill, says he is providing jobs to people in the city and the women want to be there.
Saturday was the grand opening for the new establishment located on Atlantic Avenue.
Hill says he has gotten both good and bad responses from the community.
"It depends on which side you want to take," says Hill surrounded by women in bikinis outside his car wash.
Rocky Mount police say they have gotten no complaints about the establishment.

We drove. And drove. And drove. And drove. Then we got to Tok, which was the first stop in Alaska that was not by water. When we crossed the border of Alaska and Canada, the trees were cleared along the 141st parallel, which looked like a shaved line cut through the forest of trees. (the special kind that only grow on permafrost) It's hard to notice at first. You stand on a rock and lift your arms so you resemble the letter "T". Then, you follow your arms, then your hands, and then you see the line!
After that, we drove some more and arrived in small Tok. We stayed in this cabin called the Wolf Cabin, and across from the cabin was a fenced section surrounding a dog house and a play area for puppies. Inside the dog house, you could see the most adorable puppies alive, sleeping and lazily looking up at you, yawn, lick paw, sniff the air, fall back asleep. The were so cute=http://! They were sled puppies, all of them black. I want one! I want one! We could only stay there for one night, and the next day we loaded up the car, pet the puppies for 30 minutes, got in the car, drove, drove, drove, drove, drove, and got to........our destination......ANCHORAGE!
Anchorage, unlike many towns we have gone through in Alaska, is not small. It's not as big as Chicago, but it's way bigger than my hometown, which is pretty large compared to Juneau. I'll be staying here for a few months, I've got all the time in the world to explore and get used to it. By the time I have to leave, I'll know Anchorage inside out, upside down, and backwards.

Merrick Bobb is the man tasked with overseeing the City of Seattle's settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice - a job that comes in response to the damning 2011 DOJ report that concluded Seattle's police force had an alarming pattern of using excessive force and employing biased policing.
But thanks to the digging of KIRO Radio, the focus this morning has been taken off how Bobb will help Seattle reform SPD and instead placed on items he and his firm billed the city for - like toilet paper, a corkscrew, and a $35 Egyptian cotton pillowcase.
As KIRO Radio reporter Brandi Kruse details on MyNorthwest.com, Seattle has budgeted $800,000 over the next year to pay for Bobb's work. Bobb and his Los Angeles-based consulting firm have also been given to go ahead to charge expenses associated with their work - including things like rent and furnishings at a Seattle apartment and a daily food allowance.
However, when it comes to charging the city for expenses. things got chippy last month between Bobb and the city over a December invoice.
According to KIRO Radio via MyNorthwest.com:
... in January, the budget office told Bobb's firm it had an issue with certain items being put on the city's tab, including "alcohol and alcohol-related expenses," expensive meals, toilet paper and a $35 Egyptian cotton pillowcase.
Overall concerns included a lack of itemized receipts, missing or incomplete receipts, charges that exceeded set limits, possible double charges, charges for items not allowed under city travel policies and charges on days when the team was not scheduled to work.
On Jan. 17, the city called a meeting with Bobb and his staff to address the items, during which the team was reminded that items they expense are subject to public disclosure and could "paint the Monitor or City in a bad light."
According to KIRO, the meeting - and the scrutiny - initially rankled Bobb.
More from KIRO:
Several hours after the meeting, Merrick Bobb sent an email to the city to express his frustration with what had occurred.
" ... we decline in the future to go through the humiliating, time-consuming, and obstructionist process we went through this morning where we were required to justify each pillowcase in the Seattle apartment, a toolkit to put together furniture bought at IKEA, or a $5.99 corkscrew, among other trivialities," Bobb wrote in the email, which was sent to the budget office, the City Attorney's Office and the Department of Justice.
"Although we are happy to answer legitimate inquiries, we cannot abide being treated as if we were suspects being grilled about theft from the city," he continued. "We are professionals and expect to be treated as such."
According to KIRO, Bobb went on to suggest that the hassling over expenses could be seen as a lack of cooperation from the city over the implementation of the consent decree - a statement which the station says led an anonymous source with the city to bring the email to its attention.
According to KIRO, a spokesman for the Seattle City Attorney says any issues with Bobb and his expenditures have now been resolved, and Bobb - via email - tells the station that "We each took a tone we later regretted, followed by mutual apologies." Bobb also downplayed the situation, calling it a "small dust-up."

Victor Ortiz : Get Rich Or Quit Trying
Victor Ortiz has been taking Top Rank and then GBP for a ride all along, Infact he falsely declared himself bankrupt under advice from a crooked Manager we all know who to make his contract with Top Rank null and void, He then switched over to GBP and all the hype we were fed by DLH, Victor Oriz is the "next DLH", "The future face of boxing" then we all say how he quit against Maidana, Ortiz could have easily have continued the fight but decided to quit in a moment of weakness when he thought he was in to deep. Ortiz biggest wins and only world level win is Berto, I give him credit for that win but if Ortiz did not win that fight he would never have become world champion, Victor Ortiz then went onto to become one of the shortest reigning WBC welterweight champions who lost his title by a silly knockout by Mayweather, A dirty move by Mayweather only after Ortiz initiated the dirty fighting. The journeyman walk that Ortiz did, Trying to kiss and hug Mayweather would make any fan sick to the stomach .He then fights Lopez, A guy who had lost 3 of his last 3 fights and 10 losses in total, Lopez was referred to as a journeyman by all accounts and was a massive under-dog, We all know Lopez was meant to be a interim fight before Alvarez v Ortiz, A fight that will never happen now and thankfully so! I do not want to see Ortiz earn a dime!
In short I think we are all sick of the hype that surrounds Victor Ortiz and his propaganda ministers, Everything about Victor Ortiz seems to be like a cheap kitsch of Oscar De La Hoya and Fernando Vargas, From the highly choreographed smile, To quiting, To the cringe worthy tattoos with his name (which he later had covered to make it worse). Victor Ortiz is a fraud, Those who have bought into his hype are inclined to defend Ortiz's many failures for which he has many excuses "I dont deserve to get beat up like this", "My mum and dad abandoned me when I was a kid", "My jaw is broken" he can never seem to admit his faults and say "I quit and caved in and folded like a house of cards when I was under pressure, I take full responsibility for my actions and I apologize for letting down the fans, my opponent, the television networks, my handlers and most importantly myself, Further I would like to make an apology for fleecing everyone for being in big fights and getting big money that I did not and do not deserve"
I say in a loud and clear voice to Victor Ortiz: "You dont deserve to be on HBO or Showtime" and your "heart was broken" not your jaw in that fight, I can not help but rub my hands in Pakistani glee at Victor Ortiz's fall from grace. Oh my how the mighty have fallen!

Sound fundamental financials. Market over reacted to the competitive threat from Adobe.
As a digital marketer, three observations worth noting: (1) digital is increasing because it is no longer optional, (2) effective imagery is an essential component of digital marketing, and (3) SSTK is a market leader in the digital image space.
buy on dip
Good entry point.
The market's reaction to SSTK's 2015-Q2 report was overly pessimistic. The price drop gives investors a very attractive entry point (as of 8/7) I believe.
Or people will just buy Adobe, even if it shows up this month as a hidden gem....
Expanding internationally , many paths to success , invested management.
In last months conference call, Jonathan Oringer - Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said:
....."We have expanded from a single office in New York City to a dozen offices across the US and Europe in recent years. We opened an office in Amsterdam last year,....Now with four major creative centers in Europe. Amsterdam, Berlin, London and Paris - we believe we are well-positioned to support a region where we are seeing strong growth across all of our product lines.
In addition to increasing our global penetration we continue to invest in emerging content types that expand our addressable market. Specifically video, music, and editorial content......
Given our early success we doubled down on this area last month through our acquisition of PremiumBeat leading provider of the exclusive high quality music and sound effects for use in videos, films, television, apps, games and other creative projects. We believe PremiumBeat will accelerate our mission to make licensable music accessible to every creator."
Cantor Fitzgerald Analysts led by Youssef Squali noted that "management not only highlighted the significantly expanded addressable opportunity ahead, but also laid down a path to $1B+ in revenue, with meaningful margin expansion at scale."

Ripping of contributors with super low prices...this market is far oversaturated and CEO stopped thinking longterm. P/E of 100 at this level is ridiculous...Target sub 20s
- Global digital ad spend is on a tear, set to increase from $140b this year to nearly $200b by 2017.
- As small businesses embrace online advertising, they'll further increase the demand for stock photos/video.
- Shutterstock's platform pays based on volume downloaded, which significantly reduces content costs. The average price of an image downloaded was $2.35 earlier this year, compared to $500-$1,000 for larger competitors like Getty.
- Huge insider ownership. The CEO owns nearly half of shares outstanding.
Shutterstock is a disruptor in a market that is growing quickly. The right solution in the right place at the right time. Outperform.
M'man Dave Meier says yes going forward on this one at RB Stock Talk today. A digital rights platform in a digital world.... Having fun: Outperform.
Very profitable, cash-rich, virtually no debt, and an incredibly well-aligned management team (founder/CEO owns 45% of shares outstanding). A strong network effect creates a moat around its profitable business. Expanding into adjacent business lines should provide more profitable growth. It's not at all cheap, but it's much cheaper than it was a few weeks ago. Long-term green thumb.
With the launch of Offset.com, SSTK is poised to disrupt the high-end stock photo industry in a way that makes both photographers and agencies very happy.
Unsustainable due to the competition in this industry, over supply of images and lowering of prices by all competitors.
Shutterstock has built a strong digital media platform that is attracting lots of attention. And they have been putting up some impressive results recently.

State pushes for upgrades, administrator at aging facilityPublished 12:00am Sunday, March 17, 2013
The mandatory meeting between Lawrence County officials and representatives from the Ohio Jail Advisory Board has started efforts to make some changes at the county jail. However, the question of whether a new facility is in sight is still unanswered.
"They were very hospitable and there wasn't anything contentious about the meeting," Lawrence County Commission President Bill Pratt said.
Representing Lawrence County at the Friday meeting in Columbus were Pratt, County Commissioner Freddie Hayes, Sheriff Jeff Lawless, Common Pleas Judge Charles Cooper, Chief Deputy Jeff Hitchcock. Prosecutor Brigham Anderson, State Rep. Ryan Smith and Lynn Stewart and Carl Bowen from Adult Probation Department.
The meeting came after the county jail again failed a recent state inspection with state corrections officials giving the county a list of recommendations they wanted to see address.
Some of them including improving cell locks had already been taken care of before the meeting.
"One of their major concerns was that we appoint a jail administrator," Pratt said. "It doesn't have to be a salaried position. It could be someone already employed, just taking that title."
Also on the short list for county upgrades could be improving lighting in the facility.
"That is something as a commission I think we need to take the lead on and ask (the sheriff) to get estimates on that," Pratt said.
That upgrade could cost between $20,000 and $30,000, but could end up with long-term savings on electricity, the commissioner said.
"The main issue they kept hitting on was the occupancy rate at the jail and they want to see that down to 58 prisoners," Pratt said.
Typically the county jail houses on average 70 prisoners, but if the revised state regulations on minimum standards for space for prisoners was followed, the Lawrence County Jail should only house 16 inmates.
The chairman of the jail advisory committee said the county should ask for a variance on the space requirement from the state. But state officials also recommended the prosecutor and judges work together to reduce the number of inmates housed at the jail.
"Some of us took offense at that," Pratt said. "We thought our judges already do a good job and we weren't housing people who shouldn't be there. That wasn't something we could address from our standpoint. It is a facility problem. Our facility isn't large enough to handle (the numbers)."
County officials continued their push for the state to re-open the Ohio River Valley Juvenile Corrections Facility in Franklin Furnace to turn it into a regional jail.
"We had the perfect solution and were very aggressive about them pursing the juvenile facility not only for Lawrence County but other counties with overcrowding.
On Thursday the newly formed county Jail Resolution Committee will hear a report about the state meeting. State corrections officials also want to meet again with the county in six months.

"Pelee Winery Veneyards Inc" Point Pelee by kris-t
Point Pelee Travel Guide: 50 reviews and 132 photos
Point Pelee National Park is a park in Essex County in southwestern Ontario, Canada. It consists of a peninsula of land, mainly of marsh and woodland habitats, extending into Lake Erie.
It forms the southernmost point in mainland Canada and is part of a bird and butterfly migration corridor over Lake Erie via Point Pelee and the Lake Erie islands. Over 360 bird species have been recorded in the park. The peak time for bird migration is spring, especially May, when tired migrants make first landfall after their journey north across the lake.
Many birdwatchers from North America and abroad visit the park in spring, often staying in the nearby town of Leamington. One attraction, apart from the sheer numbers and variety of bird passing through on migration, is the opportunity to see more northerly breeding species such as Blackpoll Warbler before they move on.
Point Pelee was made a national park in 1918 at the urging of birders and hunters. Commercial fishing continued in the park until 1969. Point Pelee was the only Canadian national park to allow hunting until duck hunting was ended in 1989.
This site was named "Pointe-Pelée" or "bare point" by French explorers because the eastern side was rocky and had no trees.

May 5, 2016
North Carolina appellate judges have upheld the conviction of former Democratic state Rep. Thomas Wright on three counts of obtaining property by false pretenses.
Wright was found guilty in April 2008 and sent to prison on charges he mishandled charity contributions and fraudulently obtained a $150,000 loan. A three-judge panel on the North Carolina Court of Appeals said Tuesday Wright received a fair trial.
Wright is serving six to eight years for the crime. The Wilmington Democrat was the first sitting member of the General Assembly to be expelled from office in 128 years.
A jury in August 2008 also found Wright guilty of felony obstruction of justice for preventing election officials from enforcing campaign finance laws by failing to report campaign contributions.

Families, friends have good old time in Old Town Auburn
Upon walking into the Old Town Auburn July 4 celebration, children could be seen racing each other in gunny sacks, slurping snow cones and climbing a very slippery pole to a cash prize.
The line to climb this year?s Crisco-covered grease pole snaked through half of Wednesday?s festivities. Climbers got a boost up from the bottom of the pole, just to get them started, but from there they were on there own.
Occasionally, a rag to wipe off some of the grease was tossed up to participants who climbed within a few feet of the top, which was adorned with an American flag covered with money.
This year?s winner didn?t need the rag.
Christopher Ranlett, 9, of Auburn, shimmied shirtless up the greased pole on his first try this year. He tried twice last year, but wasn?t able to make it to the top.
?I just did it to have fun,? he said.
Christopher?s mom, Lauaughn Ranlett, said her son got blisters on his hands from trying so hard last year.
?He?s a swimmer. He?s a really strong kid,? she said.
Christopher?s cash prize totaled in $230, most of which he said he would like to save.
Another climber who came close but ended up slowly sliding back down the pole before she could reach the flag was Claire Burdette, 8, who was in Old Town Auburn with her mom, Bridgett Hodkin, three siblings and four friends.
Hodkin, of Auburn, said the greased pole climb is something Claire practices for every year by climbing trees. The Old Town Auburn July 4 Celebration is not to be missed not only because it?s fun, but also because it?s free to attend, she added.
?It?s completely oriented toward kids and it doesn?t cost a fortune. I have four kids, so anytime something like this comes up, we go for it,? Hodkin said.
Past the line for the greased pole, a line of kids hopping in gunny sacks stumbled toward the finish line. Emma Anzilotti, 12, of Auburn, who won her age group in the gunny sack race, said she has been coming to the celebration and competing since she was a toddler.
?You have to put your head into it, too,? she said.
Off to the, side away from the be-bopping gunny sack contest, others were enjoying pancakes, eggs and sausage at the breakfast benefiting Auburn Hook and Ladder and the Fire Department. Nearby, children played with balloon animals.
At one point, a patriotic piñata was cracked repeatedly with a bat until it crashed to the ground and a horde of kids descended upon the sweets that were inside.
Kids then lined up on the curb to compete in the watermelon-eating contest. Participants of all sizes joined the contest, but the watermelon slices did not differ in size by much. Most pieces were at least as big as the contestant?s head.
Gavin Oyer, 14, of Auburn, chowed down on his watermelon slice the fastest, with plenty of pink, sticky juice and seeds flying everywhere.
?I?m fine. It doesn?t hurt or anything,? Gavin said.
The games continued until midday, when a few more greased pole climbers were able to reach the top of the pole, but without the cash prize. Tossed water balloons provided some heat relief.
?It?s good to see the people you know and have some good old Fourth of July fun,? Gavin said.
Later in the day, festivities moved to the Gold Country Fair Grounds for the Auburn Family Fourth celebration.
The crowd was filled with people sporting their red, white and blue, but it was a dog that stole the show.
Beau, a 3-year-old golden retriever, was decked out in blue and light red, almost pink, spots. His owner, Fred Forster, of Auburn, was there watching his three granddaughters participate in the Little Miss Firecracker pageant.
?I tell people he eats pink ice cream, but that?s not true,? Forster said. ?He has three little girls that love him all in the show today.?
Girls in red, white and blue sparkles and ribbons bounced around the Little Miss Firecracker pageant, which was taken by Kiah Clinton, 9, of Garden Valley.
People flocked to the fairgrounds for the remainder of the evening for live music, patriotic sing-along, bingo, and of course, the parade and fireworks.
Those weren?t the only reasons some enjoyed their time on July 4.
?It?s our time to celebrate our independence and the need to remember where it came from. We need to be united behind this country remaining free,? said Diana Knapp, of Colfax.

Wisla Krakow Asian Handicap 0.00 in ordinary time at odds 1.60
- Win rate on bettingexpert 60.56 %
Last settled tips
- Tips in League 71
- Yield in League 17.84 %
Wisla under former NT coach Mr Franciszek Smuda play really well this season, stay unbeaten and some former NT players like Garguła or Paweł Brożek are in very good form. Some others like Chrapek slowly finding their place in the team too. Cracovia in this derby match won just once in Ekstraklasa, two years ago – when Wisla was in terrible form and Cracovia was fighting till the last rounds to avoid relegation. This season Cracovia won just once at home, so it is unlikely with such form they will be able to inflict first loss to Wisla who trail leaders by just 2 points.

Awesome vid. You guys make me want to move to cali.;) Btw The Band was doing a great job covering Deep Purple. I would love to have that atmosphere and the incredible ingenuity of those bikes nearby.
This is one, if not my favorite. I had Gina and old guy Boyd doing some intervals cause I wanted to use this song and needed fast footage. They were pushing about 24. Gina also jumped on with some other forum members, Brokenrider and KeithOC. She was tired at the end of this ride.:D
BTW, Boyd has had open heart and one eye (glass eye) but still kicks arse in his cord shorts.:thumb:
I can't watch this video without cranking up the volume!:D
I like this one, one of the first and Gina's greatest work so far. She shot most of it from the back of the tandem. Little shakey but good:D
I think we need to see Gina's interviewing style.
