|US opens IBM antitrust probe
Thursday, 08 October 2009 02:00
The US Justice Department is investigating allegations that International Business Machines abused its dominance of the mainframe business to squeeze out rivals, Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) chairman Ed Black said.
The CCIA had urged the Justice Department to open the probe, accusing IBM of withdrawing licences for its operating systems from customers who use non-IBM hardware, retaliating against business partners deemed disloyal, bundling its mainframe operating systems with hardware, and acquiring start-up PSI to stifle competition.
The non-profit trade group, which counts software giants Microsoft and Oracle, but not IBM, as members, also alleged that IBM refused to license its mainframe operating systems to users of `Hercules` for installation on machines other than IBM mainframes.
Hercules is open source software that allows IBM`s mainframe operating systems to run on Intel-based and Advanced Micro Devices-based personal computers.
"We are aware that Justice has begun the CID investigatory process. The scope is quite broad," said Black, adding that one of its focuses is antitrust.
A CID is the equivalent of a subpoena and indicates that an investigation is under way.
The news comes after software developer T3 Technologies had filed an antitrust suit against IBM in Manhattan federal district court. The judge threw out the suit on 30 September.
A spokesperson for the Justice Department declined comment. But IBM pointed out the T3 suit dismissal.
"Just last week, a US District Court dismissed T3`s claims against IBM in their entirety. We understand the Department of Justice has asked T3 for documents from the litigation," the company said in a statement.
"IBM intends to cooperate with any inquiries from the Department of Justice. We continue to believe there is no merit to T3`s claims, and that IBM is fully entitled to enforce our intellectual property rights and protect the investments that we have made in our technologies."
Black, however, said the Justice Department`s decision reflected "a pledge by the Obama administration that they`re going to take antitrust seriously. They mean it."
The probe is similar to others it has opened into dominant firms. The head of the Justice Department`s antitrust division, Christine Varney, said in May she planned to take a more aggressive approach with firms that use their market power to crush competition.
The department is also investigating telecoms companies for potential antitrust violations. Smaller telcos have complained that the giants, AT&T and Verizon Communications, used their market share to squeeze out smaller rivals.
Smaller firms have also protested against the exclusive deals that cellphone companies made with handset makers.
"They`re (the Justice Department) going to want to make this stick," said antitrust attorney David Balto. "There`s good reason for IBM to be concerned."

Energy Debate Heats Up: The High Gas Prices of Last Summer Fueled the Energy Debate That Continues Today
Brown, Matthew, State Legislatures
Wisconsin Senator Robert Cowles drives the 280-mile round trip between the State Capitol in Madison and his home in northern Wisconsin in a hybrid-electric Toyota Prius.
"I get between 50 and 60 miles per gallon in the car. I'll never drive a non-hybrid," he says. "We all have to think hard about suppressing demand for energy."
With gas prices that climbed above $3 per gallon this summer, Senator Cowles is not alone in his outlook. Energy prices are in the news and are a high priority on legislative agendas.
The recent sticker shock brought on by spiking energy prices--especially after the one-two punch of hurricanes Katrina and Rita--fueled legislators across the country, like Senator Cowles, to begin searching for answers to high energy costs, consider future price trends and take action.
What legislators are finding is a picture very different from the one just four or five years ago. Across the board energy prices are increasing, whether for natural gas, gasoline, heating oil, propane, coal or electricity. The two significant hurricanes made a tight situation worse for a while, although the worst of the effects on energy prices are fading. But many experts now suggest that the era of consistently cheap energy prices could be over, at least for now.
The Energy Information Administration (EIA), an independent division of the U.S. Department of Energy, tracks energy prices and supplies. Its figures agree with what Senator Cowles and other legislators are discovering: Prices have gone up, and they will stay that way in the near term.
Guy Caruso, EIA administrator, expects home heating prices to jump by more than 30 percent this winter. For homes that use natural gas, annual heating bills could jump by close to 50 percent.
Caruso also expects electricity prices to rise in some parts of the country--to some extent driven by higher natural gas prices and in a few regions by higher oil prices. One example: Xcel Energy, which operates in Colorado and nine other states, just received permission to increase its Colorado electric rates by 20 percent, entirely because it now has to pay more for the natural gas it uses to power its generators.
The EIA also tracks oil and gasoline prices. "The story is similar here," Caruso says. "Prices are higher than they have been, in part because of the after-effects of the hurricanes, but the uncertainty in overall supplies is keeping them high. Crude oil prices have been at levels not seen in years and appear to be stuck at higher levels for a while."
John Felmy is an economist with the American Petroleum Institute in Washington, D.C., which lobbies on behalf of the oil industry and also collects statistics. Felmy and his staff spend a lot of their time analyzing oil industry trends.
Felmy points out a few fundamental relationships in the oil business, the most important being that between crude oil prices and what people actually pay for their diesel, gasoline or oil. "When crude prices go up, prices at the pump go up," he says. "There are other factors, of course, but the price of crude is the biggest factor in what we pay at the pump." The figures that he shows to back up his points are compelling.
When the hurricanes hit the Gulf Coast last year, refineries shut down and pipelines failed. Because the fuel was unavailable (a situation called shut-in capacity) supplies tightened in the weeks following the hurricanes.
Natural gas prices have increased also and not only because of the hurricanes--although the hurricanes shut in quantities of natural gas as well.
"We're using more and more natural gas," says Caruso. "It was cheap for a while, but because it also tends to burn cleanly, it's ideal for generating electricity. That's one reason we're using so much more of it."
The fact is that even though we produce more natural gas in this country now than ever before, U. …

Raphaela Platow on the CAC's 2008-2009 Maria Lassnig Show
When I interviewed Raphaela Platow, the Contemporary Arts Center's director/chief curator, several weeks ago for this week's CityBeat story about the institution's 75th anniversary, I asked about some of the highlights of her tenure. One was the 2008-2009 exhibition of abstracted and intense figurative paintings by then-octogenarian Austrian painter Maria Lassnig, who was little known in the U.S. Platow had arranged for the show to travel here from London's Serpentine Gallery, and it was presented as Lassnig's first major solo U.S. museum show. It meant a lot to Platow, who as a native of Germany had been familiar with Lassnig's work, and she was emotional addressing the audience on opening night. (The first CAC show Platow curated, work by Carlos Amorales, also opened that night.) Because of space considerations, not much about the Lassnig show was included in the story, beyond noting it as an example of CAC's prescience, since MoMA-PS1 currently has a major retrospective of her work and calls her "one of the most important contemporary painters." Lassnig died last week at age 94. So, as a tribute to and remembrance of her, here are some excerpts from the interview with Platow (that was done before Lassnig's death): "I had a very personal relationship to the exhibition because I loved the work for many years," Platow said. "It was really surprising to me she had never had a show in the U.S. I really felt she was one of most prominent female painters there is, and there are not that many female painters of that generation who are not part of the history, part of the discourse. "In the area of painting, it was always the heroic male creating these amazing canvases, and here was Maria always struggling and staying her course. It meant a lot to me to present this first exhibition, and ever since then she won the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale, and PS1 now has a big show of her work. I'm happy we sort of spearheaded that." Lassnig did not come to Cincinnati for the opening of her 2008 show here. And as Platow recalled, it wasn't all that easy even to get her paintings to town. "We ended up taking a show that Serpentine in London put together because it's extremely difficult to work with her," she said. "She didn't want her paintings to fly over ocean. "We had to separate them out and put them on three different planes. She didn't want all her work to be on one cargo plane. And she was extremely afraid of the work traveling overseas on a trans-Atlantic flight. It was very strenuous to get it here. "I was so happy we did it, and it was a beautiful show and very meaningful for me." Read more about the CAC's 75th anniversary here.

Music Tonight: Dean & Britta, Aimee Mann and Much More
• Dean & Britta (formerly of critically-acclaimed Indie dreamscapers Luna) bring their unique multimedia show, "13 Most Beautiful … Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests," to Over-the-Rhine's revitalized Emery Theatre. The project originated four years again after Dean Wareham received a phone call from a curator (and big Luna fan) at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh asking if he'd be interested in writing some music to go with the stockpile of 500 or so "screen tests" Warhol had accumulated in the '60s. The clips feature Warhol's video of friends and acquaintances, including many familiar faces from the Factory days. Wareham talked to CityBeat's Brian Baker about the process of writing songs for the 13 "tests" chosen, describing it as being like making a music video in reverse. Read Brian's full feature story here. Tonight's performance — featuring Dean & Britta's quartet performing in front of large projections of the screen tests — is at 8 p.m. Tickets (if it doesn't sell out) are $25 at the door. Here's some of the soundtracked video to get you in the mood. The event is being co-presented by the Contemporary Arts Center, which is currently exhibiting Image Machine: Andy Warhol and Photography. • After a tough previous week when she was stuck in New York City during and after "Frankenstorm" Sandy, tonight at 8 p.m., veteran singer/songwriter Aimee Mann performs in Cincinnati at 20th Century Theatre in Oakley.For 30 years, Mann has built a dedicated core of adoring fans swept away by her smart, clever and emotionally resonate take on Pop music, driven partly by her uniquely inviting vocals (which former CityBeat writer Brad Quinn once brilliantly described as "egg-shaped"). She first came to the attention of the public at large with her group 'Til Tuesday, which received massive support from MTV and radio for the hit "Voices Carry." Mann and some funny pals recently parodied the of-its-era clip in a hilarious video for "Labrador" from her latest album, Charmer.Mann went solo at the start of '90s, releasing her debut Whatever in 1993 and then capping off the decade with her brilliant songs written for and prominently featured in the film Magnolia. Departing the major label system at the start of the new millennium, Mann founded SuperEgo Records to release her own material, most recently issuing Charmer, another critically acclaimed gem that provides further evidence that Mann is still one of the great, somewhat under-heralded songwriters of her time. Another gifted writer deserving of more attention, Ted Leo (of "and the Pharmacists" fame), opens tonight's show solo. Tickets range from $20-$35. • Blues Rock cult sensation, soulful singer and modern-day geetar hero Joe Bonamassa swings through the Taft Theatre tonight for a 9 p.m. show. Tickets range from $49-$79. Bonamassa is one of the more celebrated guitarists of our time and he's built a rabid following mostly by word of mouth and without the benefit of a big label corporation behind him. Bonamassa's latest album Driving Towards the Daylight was released this spring, but live and in-concert is where he thrives, as evidenced by his discography since 2000 — he's had nine studio albums but also four live albums and three live DVDs. Check the title track from Driving below and read more about the Blues/Rock star from this week's CityBeat here. • Acclaimed for its detailed, theatrical recreations of Pink Floyd concerts, Cleveland's Wish You Were Here is bringing its "Classic Floyd Albums Tour 2012" to Bogart's in Corryville tonight for an all-ages, 8 p.m. performance. Tickets are $12. The "tour" (spread over three months) has featured shows across Ohio where the crew has played the albums Wish You Were Here, The Wall and Animals in full. Tonight, the group is doing Dark Side of the Moon at Bogart's. The band is able to accurately replicate Floyd's intricate sound and concert experience by using a large ensemble of at least nine musicians, plus their own lighting and sound crew. Cincinnati musician Jamie Combs (of 4th Day Echo and various other projects) joined the band in 2006 as guitarist and vocalist. Here's a clip from a 2007 appearance in Cleveland of the band performing "Time/Breath Reprise." Click here for even more live music events in Greater Cincinnati tonight.

'Time-Based Art' Looks Great at CAC

0 Comments · Wednesday, August 12, 2009
So often has it been said that the Contemporary Arts Center needs to carefully select shows to fit its unconventional Zaha Hadid-designed space that it's almost a mantra. As has been seen in the past, imported traveling exhibits (especially group shows relying on paintings) have a tendency to get lost amidst the angles, offbeat spaces, stairways and hidden corners of the downtown building's interior. But the current Anri Sala show interacts so well and so completely with its two CAC floors that the experience is transformative.

Romania is in a state of change, continually moving toward greater development; as evidenced by its recent additions to the European Union in 2007. This historic country on the Black Sea has plenty of cultural attractions to keep a volunteer busy. Transylvania is the largest and most well-known area. From the castles and town to the forests and alps, Transylvania and many areas of Romania truly embody medieval culture and history.
Program Types
Orphanage Work
The number of children living in orphanages and under the care of the government continues to rise in Romania. There are many reasons that can be attributed to the high number of abandoned, neglected, and orphaned children in Romania. The state of poverty Romania has experienced led many families to be unable to care for their children. By volunteering your time in orphanages in Romania, you will contribute to a much larger cause and make a difference in young lives. Volunteer activities include cleaning, feeding, child care, tutoring, and more.
The education system in Romania has been through many recent reforms like the rest of the country's industries. School attendance is required from age 6 or until 17. Tutoring is especially common in primary and secondary school. Even though school enrollment is generally high, it has continued to slowly decline since 2004. A strong foreign volunteer presence and interest always encourages attendance. Many volunteer programs offer volunteers the opportunity to work in schools assisting teachers, tutoring after school, and teaching English themselves.
Health Care
The healthcare system in Romania has improved recently, especially after it became part of the EU. Romania's government offers free universal healthcare but it seems that healthcare is still easier and of higher quality for those with more money. Volunteers with medical backgrounds can be of great help to disabled and disadvantaged Romanians. Sharing your expertise with a local clinic, hospital or health care advocacy group is extremely important.
Planning Your Trip
Volunteering Tips
NGOs/Volunteer Culture: With more than 200 NGOs listed in Romania on WANGO, there are many ways for volunteers to lend a hand. Several larger volunteer organizations, like the Peace Corps and WWOOF, are also present in Romania. Teaming up with one of these non-profits, no matter how big or small, is sure to be a great experience.
Best Places to Volunteer: Bucharest, the capital of Romania, is sometimes referred to as "the Paris of the East." This city enjoys a laid back, bohemian style with plenty of good food and social scenes. While you will see many beautiful and historic landmarks, a city such as Bucharest is sure to have lots of poverty as well. Volunteers can find many different opportunities to help out here. Sighisoara is a more rural area where you will find vibrant aspects of medieval culture thriving.
Health and Safety of Volunteers in Romania
Locals in Romania are generally friendly and helpful. There is little crime to worry about besides theft so always be aware of your belongings and surroundings, especially in crowded neighborhoods or those occupied by gypsies. Wild animals, especially stray dogs, are another minor safety issue to be aware of. Consider getting travel insurance to cover small accidents and illnesses. Some basic vaccinations are recommended before traveling to Romania, including hepatitis A and B, typhoid and MMR. See MD Travel Health for more details on health in Romania.

The Clark County Public Works department is working to repair a sinkhole that has opened on a residential street in east Vancouver. Department spokesman Jeff Mize said crews hoped to have the hole filled later Thursday night.
"This is the type of thing we try to get on right away," Mize said.
The sinkhole was reported at Northeast 165th Avenue and 80th Street, caused by a collapsed drainage pipe under the street, Mize said.
The opening in the street measured about 18 inches in diameter, but the sinkhole underneath was about 6 feet around and about 8 feet deep.
Public works crews will likely fill the hole with packed gravel at first, Mize said, then return next week to repair the pipe.

That's good for silver, bad for silver miners in Peru.Chavez pretty much destroyed prospects for gold/silver mining in Venezuela.Look for less silver mining in Peru.
Investors are already pulling their money out, I'm suprised silver is not up $5 bucs already. Less investment means lower production, means higher prices. News just came out, give it some time to sink in.
Silver is not as powerful a tool as oil. This guy is no Chavez and probably wont be able to thumb the nose of sectors that help sustain the whole country.

Were you one of the many who stayed awake last night to check out the lunar eclipse as it occurred in the early morning hours? Many of us wish we could capture the amazing event on camera, and it appears as though one person was going to go to any extreme to capture a shot. With the use of his Motorola Droid X and a telescope @freshgeardude was able to capture the miraculous shot that is shown above. It's not quite as spectacular as this other moon shot we've seen, but it's still a great example of exactly just what Droid Does! [via @freshgeardude]

Droid X captures great shot of the Lunar Eclipse last night
I don't want to knock the pic or the pic-taker, because this is an okay pic for a night-shot off a cell phone...but let's be honest, the camera on the DX is borderline terrible.
eh,ive seen better all over facebook with lesser phone cameras.
Lol, as a DX owner, im not a hater. My iphone took better pictures. My non smartphone before that nearly took better pictures. Im a pretty decent amatuer photographer, so yes, terrible focusing and grain even on pictures taken in broad daylight do piss me off.
Put the koolaid down man. Wake up
My DX takes grainy pictures one minute and then perfectly sharp and in focus the next. I'd say that is borderline horrible. This is my third replacement and all have acted the same. And don't get me started on the barcode scanners on this thing.
Lets be honest,it's a cameraphone not DSLR. So that's a pretty good pic. BTW,how does one connect their telescope with their cameraphone?
I'm the one who took the picture.
it was pretty difficult to find the best exposure and ISO to get the best picture, but i think this was set at 200 iso and 3 exposure.
To take the pic through the telescope was probably the hardest part, I used the hole that you use to view with your eye, it was pretty small but managed to get the picture.
I know the light sensor on the camera on the DX for night isnt the greatest, but i managed to pull this off. day light pictures are amazing good. I've taken pictures at rocky mountain national park with the DX during daylight and they were simply stunning.
thanks for all the positive comments.

Elliot Aronson
Elliot Aronson presents social psychology as a story of sin and redemption. He contends that although the field deals with "Some of the least appetizing aspects of human behavior," it also provides "the tools and the understanding that encourage people to overcome" these unpleasant behaviors. In this chapter Aronson describes his copassions for doing rigorous research and focusing this research on issues of benefit to humanity. He traces these interests to the influence of two mentors, Leon Festinger and Abraham Maslow. Through reflections on his own life as a social psychologist, Aronson illustrates his firm belief in "an elliptical flow from theory back to theory." He believes that social psychology should rely heavily on experimentation, be capable of generating nonobvious hypotheses derived from theory and ingeniously testing them, and attempt to "do good" by applying the results of empirical research toward the solution of social problems. Oftentimes, he points out, it is in the process of applying knowledge to concrete situations that the original theory is refined, and with this the flow of theory-research-application-theory begins again. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of synthesis, when the role of "roots and branches" can be seen, and stressing the need for training students carefully to craft ingenious experimental designs.
The nature of this book is such that it virtually gives me an engraved invitation to engage in some flagrant self-indulgence. (Here I can hear the Greek chorus of my former students chortling and saying, "As if old Ellie ever needed an invitation for self-indulgence!") Be that as it may, in this essay I want to indulge my addiction as a chronic and habitual storyteller and tell you a little story about my forty-three-year love affair with experimental social psychology. Somewhere along the way, I will reveal my own biased, idiosyncratic vision of experimental

Anyone tour with a flat bar as opposed to the traditional road drop bar? Any particular reasons?
Anyone tour with a flat bar as opposed to the traditional road drop bar? Any particular reasons?
Cyclist, angler and aquarist
My custom touring bike was designed like an old style rigid mtn bike. Flat bars. I have always used bar ends. I crossed the country this past summer and had no problems. Lotsa places to put your hands. I find I generally ride with my hands on the section just in front of the mounting point, if that makes sense
I havent ridden drops in 25 or more years so I am not the best person to comment but I think the line about having more places to put your hands on drops vs flats is overblown.
I did before I found trekking bars. I was actually quite happy with them and found them comfortable.
Why? Because I had a non-specific touring (converted mtb) bike and the thumbies gear shifters and other hardware such as brake levers made it so that a conversion to drop handlebars would have been too expensive. And because, well, they worked.
Even now, I've found I can tour with drops or trekking bars (and I'd bet flat bars with bar ends too) quite happily. I can't say I've found one to be uniquely better than the other -it's just personal choice.
A lot of people do. To add to what Nigeyy said, dropbars are often fitted to mountain bikes (which are generally very good frames for touring), but depending on the specific bike and rider it can be dificult to get dropbars in a comfortable postion due to long frames designed for flat bars, money aside.
id go with bar ends, drop bars wouldn't be right for my frame. at least not with me riding it. curently i have flat bars and was thining of getting either barends or a trekking bar. probably barends being as theyre cheaper.
Rule #23: Nothing is more important than your health...except for your money.
instant human: just add coffee
did my last tour on my mtb (monkeylite bar w/o bar ends.) it was great.
I chose flat bars with bar ends 25 years ago because more and more of my touring was off pavement. The improved control and braking with a loaded bike in the dirt convinced me. I have found no reason to change.
I ride both drop and flat bars, but only drop on my touring bike. I am thinking about switching to flat bars for my next touring bike. The reason is I have arthritis in the wrists and a couple of fingers and I find the flat bars don't hurt as much and I can get better braking when the fingers are acting up.
I'm also thinking about getting some wide bullhorn bars, so that I can use bar end shifters, sometimes using the thumb to shift to a lower gear is quite painful with mountain shifters.
The only advantage I see to drop bars is the aerodynamics in the drops with head winds and for going fast down hills. So, flat bars are a pretty good option as long as they have bar ends. I usually ride most of the time on the bar ends.
In attempt to construct a cheap touring alternative, I recently added bar-ends to my Trek 6500 aluminum MTB from the mid-90s, along with a Zoom adjustable stem to bring the bars up and back to duplicate the riding position of my Roubaix. I find the bar ends too far apart to be comfortable for long rides. I see that the trekking bar from Nashbar is also 55 cm wide. If I do convert the bike to drop bars, it will be to narrow the overall width of some of those useful hand positions. Of course, by posting here I'm hoping someone's thought this through better and will educate me.
First and most importantly, this is so much a 'whatever works/personal preference' issue. That said,
1. The very-often (and often strongly) expressed view that drop bars are somehow intrinsically superior to flats (and variations thereon) is very much a North American/to some extent British view. In Europe and elsewhere I would say that on general touring/trekking bikes flat bars are actually much more common than dropbars. This is also certainly the case with expedition/offroad touring.
2. FWIW, and I repeat this is simply personal preference, I much prefer 'flat' bars (either flat with bar-ends, or mtb-style risers without, depending on conditions). I've never been able to get 'comfortable' with dropbars (and I've certainly tried) and have now no wish to do so, since I've never had any of the 'problems' that are supposed to automatically follow from using flat bars. Even during longish successive days in the saddle, my hands don't go numb, my wrists don't get sore, etc etc etc. I do think that I'd like the 'drop' position re. cutting the effect of headwinds, but since my arthritic back won't let me stay there more than a few seconds, it's a no go anyway.
Drop bars are intrinsically more anatomically correct, and also offer more aero positions. Flat bars are more for control than comfort, and wide drops can help with the control. I have one set that is 600mm wide. drops also have more hand positions, and the placements offer more support to the hand in some of the position. So it depends what the objective is for comfort and position, or steering.
" is very much a North American/to some extent British view"
I agree, but only as far as the on touring bike part is concerned, as you said. When it comes to road bikes, drops are very popular everywhere. That does say something. Many people don't like them because they find drops uncomfortable. A reasonable perspective from peopple new to bikes, but tourists aren't newbies for too long.
To me, the main advantage to flat bars is that the brake lever combos that exist for flats are cheaper for the same efficiency. The bars suck, the brakes and shifters rock.
We'll have to agree to disagree on some of this.
"... (drop bars) offer more aero positions" -- yes, absolutely; that is of course why they dominate on bicycles used for fast road club/training/racing.
"Drop bars are intrinsically more anatomically correct ..." -- disagree. True one can rotate one's wrist through 90 degrees on drops, but so too using barends on flats; set properly, these pretty much duplicate the tops/hoods positioning on drops. Further, anatomies differ; for many people the natural 'relaxed/in-line' position of the hands is the position as on drop bar hoods, for many others (self included) it's actually the other way -- the kind of position as one has on the tops, or on the grips on flat bars, especially those with a bit of sweep, is (I find, for example) a perfectly 'natural' and therefore comfortable position.
"When it comes to road bikes, drops are very popular everywhere ..." -- agreed, as above; has to do with aerodynamics, tradition, etc. I repeat, however, that this is not the case (outside NA/Britain to some extent) with touring bikes -- that is, bicycles used primarily for touring as opposed to riding at or aspiring to ride at 'racing' speeds, and un- or lightly-loaded.
Further, this preference most certainly has absolutely nothing to do with touring 'newbieness'. A quick look through blogs, CGOAB journals, etc. will show that the majority of people doing ultra-distance, extended touring -- especially where some 'rough stuff' is expected -- use some variation on flat-bars.
I use flat bars for the same reasons as badger and also I just like having my hands near the shifters and brakes (with my setup) pics on my page below.
I only use the bar ends when climbing or just for changing hand possitions once in a while, 80% to 90% of the time my hands are on the flat bar.
I like narrow, flat bars (completely flat - I use a riser stem to get the height I need) with Cane Creek Ergo bar ends. Very comfy for me, and because the bars are completely straight it's very easy to fit loads of bits & bobs, including the Rohloff shifter.
Yes I do,
the reason: Better control on bad surfaces
My riding partner has the on-one mary bar with Ergo grips on her Cannondale T-2000.
Long story about the t-2000's conversion from stock drop bars to current set up.
All I know is the fit is perfect and she can ride the bike for hrs in complete comfort.
I tried them, but didn't tour with them. The bottom line for me was that they didn't work nearly as well. There were less hand positions and some of the ones I use were not as comfy with bar ends at least the ones I have used. That said it is probably very dependent on the exact setup and personal preferences will vary widely. I spend most of my time on the hoods, the section behind the hoods, the drops, or the corners so the brakes are easily accessible from there. If I used the straight middle section more I may feel differently.
How many folks use flat bars probably varies pretty widely depending on where you are, but my observation is that the vast majority of folks I met when touring in the US were using drop bars. On the TA we met a few folks using flat bars, but all but one of them were doing a mostly off road route (Great Divide MTB route).

one thing about bar ends is that you dont have to use them on the ends of your bar!
you could run a pair on end as well as another pair inside your grips for an aero position.

'Plenty of buyers' to purchase or recapitalize 'remaining wounded winery players' in the next 18 months
[caption id="attachment_33230" align="alignleft" width="313" caption="Rob McMillan"][/caption]
The fine wine segment of the industry is at the beginning of a "long-term, steady growth phase," with sales of such wines forecast to grow 11 percent to 15 percent from last year and wineries enjoying "marginally improving profitability," according to a report released this morning by Silicon Valley Bank.
Download the reportSilicon Valley Bank 2011--12 State of the Wine Industry (PDF)
"After several years of doom and gloom in this business, it feels good to be past the bottom of the cycle and headed up again," said Rob McMillan, founder of the bank's Wine Division and author an annual report and forecast on the industry. "While we aren't expecting the business to return to the halcyon days before the financial collapse anytime soon, we are predicting a slow and steady climb up that should span several years leading to improved prospects for the wine business."

Last year, overall sales for U.S. upscale wineries grew 10.8 percent, according to the bank's research. That's much better than the previous two years and returns sales growth to where they were in 2002--2003.

Re: Book Club Restarting This Fall. Who Has Suggestionstomroust Aug 30, 2012 9:21 PM (in response to Calfino)
I think The King of Pain, which was a featured nook book, is a great book group title. I loved it and at $2.99 your group will love you, as long as they don't mind some (well, a lot of) bad language and some painful scenes. Is the main character, who is stuck under his home entertainment system for an entire weekend horrible or loveable? (I thought he was hilarious). Is his reality TV show about torture possible? Is it exploitative? It's also a book-within-a-book. The trapped anti-hero reads a book called A History of Prisons. And each of these stories -- a man running a stockade in Africa, a woman in a Chinese prison who receives a strange gift, a death in Guantanmo bay, a sci-fi romance -- are all worth debate both as stand alone stories and as to how they relate to the main "novel."
I don't know of another book like this.

Melville Island (Canada)
Melville Island, c.16,400 sq mi (42,500 sq km), Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada, N of Victoria Island; largest of the Queen Elizabeth Islands. Generally hilly (rising to c.1,500 ft/460 m), it has several ice-covered areas in the interior. There are musk oxen on the island. Sir William Parry, the British explorer, visited Melville Island in 1819, and its south coast was explored (1851) by Sir Francis McClintock.

The color pros at Pantone would approve of these must-have shades—and we couldn't agree more. Universally flattering on all skin tones, each hue is daring, but not so out-there that we can't wear it in the office or to dinner with Grandma.
I love this nail polish. When I tried it, all it took was one coat for full color. I find that very impressive, because I love my essie nail polish, but I have noticed with that brand two coats gives you the true color. I am very happy with the product so far and have had it on for a whole day with no chips!4
I would never have thought to buy this for myself, because I wouldn't have realized how great emerald green would look on my nails. I'm so glad I got it in my February Birchbox because it looks terrific and the formula is also great. It went on smoothly and dried in about five minutes. One warning: definitely use a base coat with this or your nails will get stained green. I swatched the color on one nail without basecoat and my nail ended up stained dark green. The ones with basecoat are fine.5
I received the "wild cactus" color, and as much as I love colorful nail polish, this is isn't for me. The description says these colors are supposed to be "universally flattering" but I respectfully disagree. I'll use it on St. Patty's day, but it will probably stay unused the rest of the year.1

Throughout the 10 seasons of "American Idol," contestants have won over viewers in a variety of ways. Casey James took off his shirt. Tim Urban slid across the stage. And countless others, ranging from season one's Jim Verraros to season 10 also-ran Chris Medina , have shared their personal lives and hardships as a way to inspire viewers.
But recently eliminated Jacob Lusk — whose life has had enough drama for at least three Tyler Perry movies — was dead-set on gaining a fanbase using one thing and one thing only: his voice.
"I didn't want to be a charity case," Lusk told MTV News on Monday afternoon (May 9). "I didn't want to use my father's death or my mom starting on welfare and going to college or getting her degree or me moving on my own and having rough times and barely finding a place to live and barely making ends meet."
Lusk, who made a name for himself with emotional, Gospel-tinged performances, said he was "definitely tempted" to share stories from his difficult past when going through the various audition rounds, but ultimately decided to keep his private life private as long as possible.
In fact, Lusk was so tight-lipped about his backstory that when he finally dedicated "Dance With My Father" to his deceased dad on 21st Century Song night, it took the "Idol" team by surprise. "A lot of the producers didn't know that my father had passed away," Lusk said.
"I didn't want to be that person who was voted for because of this; I wanted it to be because of my [voice] and not because of anything else," Lusk reiterated. "If you find out about that later, then that's fine, but it's just about the music."
Fifth-placer Lusk will join the rest of the top 11 when the latest cast hits the road on the American Idols Live! Tour this summer.
What do you think of Lusk keeping his personal life under wraps during the show? Let us know in the comments!
Don't miss "Idol Party Live" every Thursday at noon on MTV.com for analysis, celebrity guests and even some karaoke — get in the conversation by tweeting with the hashtag #idolparty! In the meantime, get your "Idol" fix on MTV News' "American Idol" page, where you'll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

I have posted about this several times. Early on my my whole30 I experienced slight muscle weakness. I was told that this would pass as my body adapted to burning fat. It did subside in a few days. I also began having some night leg calf cramps and a little trouble falling asleep so I got the Natural calm. That seemed to go smoothly though I never really realized the sleep effects. The leg cramps did diminish. In the last 2 days of my 30...I experienced real feelings of muscle weakness and some sort of hormonal symptoms almost like low blood sugar. This happened about 1 1/2 hours after lunch and dinner. It was recommended that I need to add sweet potatoes perhaps. Then someone said it sounded like a Magnesium overdose???? I was reading up on that and diarrhea is the first symptom. I never had any issues with that so I don't know. I have only been taking 2 teaspoons at night. I know they suggested spreading it out throughout the day....maybe that is the problem. I didn't take any last night and cramped again. I'm only reposting here because I'm still puzzled and accidentally posted in for Ladies only. My food template is good, I get plenty of salt, and water and I'm post menopausal??? I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this?
