I ride to lose weight - I lose weight to ride
Bike: Trek Portland
Computer: Garmin Edge 305
I am blessed, I guess....we have a full locker room, showers, and plenty of indoor storage for our bikes. Free hot water FTW!!
I just bring 4 sets of work clothes in on Sunday afternoon in my car, and bike to work in whatever I find on the floor in the morning. Shower and change at work, and I'm good to go.
Check for public parks that have showers in the vicinity of your workplace.
I ride ~14.5 miles home from work, but in the mornings I extend that to make a stop at a local county park that has showers. Very nice showers, I might add. Then it's 2.5 / 3 miles down a bike trail to my work. Not too bad, and I get my morning shower. I usually change into my work clothes at the showers, but I'm quite a sweater, so I've started bringing an extra undershirt and wearing that on the ride after the shower, and changing my shirt when I get to the office.
I called the county parks department and made sure it was okay for me to do that, they said it was fine.
Gotta love the great cycling city of Madison, WI, eh?
If I couldn't get to showers ... I'm not sure I'd be biking in. I'd have to plan alot harder. I'm not sure if I'd make it doing the sink trick. Perhaps, though, perhaps.
'06 Giant OCR 2, '12 Surly LHT
shade, whatever it takes to get the pulse rate down to "normal".. I cheat and drive part way and
then ride the 18-19 miles (when I ride). I have access to a shower but it is important for my heart
rate to be back down to normal before I get changed for work.
I'm a bonafide sweathog, but showering before I leave and then cooling down for a few minutes, toweling off, wet wipes if needed, and then putting work clothes on helps a lot. I don't feel gross at all afterwards. The nice thing about cycling is that your sweat is moving off your body constantly, not just sitting there stagnating. As long as you start the cool down process soon after you stop moving, it's not that bad. My commute is 12mi each way.
Happy riding,
I ride 8 miles, I try to keep an even pace on the way in while drinking lots of water which keeps sweating to a minimum. I do take a shower and put on deordorant before I leave. When I get to work I chill out for about 10 minutes then go to change. While changing I wipe down, put on fresh deodorant and AXE body spray wipe and then get dressed in the clothes I carried with me.
And on the way home I ride hard!
P.S. I keep my hair short to prevent helmet head and reduce sweat.
Okay, Witch Hazel wins. I started using it, and have never felt more clean since I've been commuting. Here's a link to my blog talking about my "system":
http://www.chubbysuperbiker.com - Trials and Success
A mile and a half of cycling each way for me. Sweat is not an issue unless it's very hot (like it's getting now), in which case it's baby wipes and a sink bath for me. (There are a gazillion threads about this in commuting.)
Tour Journals, Blog, ride pix
I'm in the celtic folk fusion band Baroque and Hungry. "Mended", our new full-length studio album, is now available for download.
Artistic Differences - 8-track EP Dreams of Bile and Blood now available for download.
I do the same thing that natbla does only with an 8-ish mile (12 km) downhill ride to the office.
I've also noticed that even on the days I take the subway, I end up sweating a whole bunch due to the heat and the heat of people packed in to the subway cars, so it's not like I'ld be arriving at the office much less damp.
Also, where is the worst part of T.O., Wogsterca?
Having done the "sink shower" thing I'm very glad for my current situation: bike rack on the office wall (put up by the boss, I just steal it when I get to work first), showers, locker, laundry facilities and fresh towels. So, I pack my cloths and where my biking gear for the 20 mile RT commute to work, shower and change, wash and dry the bike gear while at work, and then change back into clean, dry bike gear for the ride home.
There has to be some benefit to working in education, because there's no money in it
Help me and team North UMC at the 2010 Pedal for Peace.
Everything looks better on a full stomach.
Doing the right thing and rocking the boat are often one in the same.
Well, technically speaking, one needs 3 things to qualify for recumbent ownership: a beard, an aerobelly, and a technical degree or background.

FIX IT!!!!! want my apps back.....
The last couple of days have shown us that we could do with, ideally, service status indication on the Smart Hub default screen or at the very least a web page showing us this information.
Many of us are disappointed with losing our apps, even those that work on a local level, because of work going on at Samsung. What makes it worse is the lack of information from Samsung.
Can someone at Samsung pass this up the chain, and other forum members please '+1' to support.

Before I really get into my blog here....I want to say thank you to everyone who has messaged me, sent goodies, and left comments on my page. I have been reading everyone's blogs and trying to comment when I can. Even if I don't say much or comment much, please know that I am still here and keeping up with you.
3 months ago, I weighed in at 272, my lowest weight so far.
I can't really pinpoint any one thing that triggered my reaction over the last few weeks. I have never been a binge type person. I was always more of a boredom grazer. Over the last 3 months my weight bounced up and down, I just kept re-losing the same weight.
Over the last 3 weeks, something changed. I have been on a non-stop eating binge...in the neighborhood of 2500-3000 calories a day.
I'm not really sure of the calorie amount because I haven't tracked anything. I got the estimate a few days ago by putting in everything I ate the day before into the tracker. It came to just under 2800 calories.
Thanksgiving day was actually a good calorie day for me...oddly enough, the 'big eating' days have never really been a problem for me, its just the rest of the year that is the problem.
I still weigh myself every few days. This morning, I was 289. I put on 17 pounds in 3 months...most of it, 11 pounds, was within the last month or so. I un-did a year and a half's worth of work by half in such a short time.
I could name off a thousand reasons why I am out of control, I've been unemployed for 5 months now, I have no transportation of my own, my beau has been in a lot of pain lately and we have been doing nothing but snapping at each other...I am really doubting that I can handle taking care of him much longer because of my depression. My depression has been FIERCE lately.
To top everything off, my beau forgot my birthday yesterday. I know he is in a lot of pain every single day, but it still hurt. I'm just trying not to think about it too much, I'm not 5 years old anymore. I just had this stupid idea that since I was going to be 42 (well, I am 42 now), that I was going to be the answer to the universe...silly movie reference, but for some reason I thought that something special was going to happen.
I had issues with self injury years ago and I am wondering if this isn't a new way to hurt myself without actually 'hurting' myself. I desperately need to be back on medication, I am just tired of fighting my mind all of the time.
I don't have insurance until January 1...then I will have insurance through the state or something they sent me in the mail and I am just trying desperately to hold on until then.
31 days.

What can I say that hasn't already been said. Happy belated birthday. You have been through so much this last six months, things have got to start going right soon. I am sure your beau didn't mean anything, but it hurts. He has been through a lot too.

I'm so sorry everything is so hard right now....
And sorry I missed your birthday!! 42!!! Think of it this way - you will be 42 for a whole year. Any time during the year amazing things can happen. Just because they didn't happen ON the day doesn't mean they aren't coming.
I hope you can be well when you get insurance. I hope it will help. I know there is nothing I can say to "help" with depression. I just will keep wishing things get better for you, and your beau.

Happy belated birthday!
You're in a tough spot. But it's important to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You can't control your beau's pain, and you can't control your unemployment right now. What CAN you control? Your nutrition and your exercise. I know it's really hard to want to do much of anything when you're unemployed. But why not say you have a "part-time job" that is your health?

Happy Belated Birthday! I am sorry to hear things are not going well. When somebody is in chronic pain they have such a hard time dealing with anything else. I am sure it was nothing personal on your beau's part. I will be hoping things will turn around soon for you. Try to enjoy a nice mug of hot cocoa. Hang in there!

Question for engineers and potentially computer scientists who are so familiar with complexity problems they solve it while they crap:
Velomobile is a fully covered tricycle. It's much more aerodynamic than a bicycle but weighs at least twice more. I'm trying to quantify the overall performance comparison between touring with a bicycle and a velo, and as posted on this thread, I'll bring in only the mathematical part:
A stock 520 weighs 11.5kg. Add front rack and panniers, you get 13kg. Let's make the velomobile 33kg. Although it weighs 2.5x more, you have to consider the total working weight, which is 105 for 520 and 125kg for velo. Now it only weighs 19% more. Now I'll throw in some random number. The ratio of increasing effort to increasing weight on a vehicle on wheels, accounting only bearing, rolling resistance and tyre-road friction on flat terrain (let's call this drag A), is 1% for every 1% weight increased. That is, if you add 1kg more onto a 520, it will take you 99km instead of 100km in the day. Since velo package weighs 19% more, we'll say it's 20% more effort to get through drag A.
Now, take a typical long distance tour, cross USA, and the most efficient direction, west to east. This way, you'll start off with lots of hills, and gradually move into flatter terrain. Your legs take the most punishment in the beginning, having to climb hills on something that is 20% more effort to climb on. Let's say (again pulling numbers out of my ass) 5% grade takes 10% more effort, and 15% grade 40%. Let's say the average climbing grade in the beginning is 10%, descending in the same rate after the peak, and finally flat for 4 times the distance. We'll make effort to climb 10% something high, like 30%. We also need to know how much more effort is required for every percentage of weight increase when pulling it up a grade. So let's just some everything up to assume that 20% more effort on drag (A) translates to 40% more effort to climb in a velo.
Velo looks very bad so far. But we have something Velo shines on - aerodynamic efficiency. Since our cyclist is going from west to east, she'll expect nice tailwinds most of the time. The average winds are 15kph SW (depending on where it is), which makes 11Kph W effective (15 x cos(45)). However, from my experience for every 3 days of tailwinds, we can expect 2 days of headwinds. At 11Kph, on a usual cruise speed of 25Kph, a headwind slows me to 21Kph but propels me to 32Kph as tailwind. Assuming a velo is 40% more efficient, with the same effort headwind slows her to 31Kph ((21-25)/25 * (1-.4) * 35) but propels her to 47Kph ((1 + (32-25)/25) * 35 = 45; add 2 just for fun) as tailwind. During the 5 days she cycled 6 hours on tailwind days and 3 hours on headwind days (she hates headwinds), covering 768km. On a velo, she would've covered 1032km. That makes the Velo 34% better at winds than a conventional bike, on flat terrain.
And, the descent. Assuming a similar 12% grade, she'll cycle up to 28Kph, but on a velo it reaches 39Kph (28/25 * 35). Here we see that velo is 39% more efficient on descents.
Finally, we'll add this all up. Ms. Tourist sets out on a journey that has 6 parts: 1 ascent, 1 descent, 4 flat. There are no winds during the ascent/descent stage, 11Kph average and using the 3 tailwind/2 headwind model on flat. We add some time weight in here to make it 2 : 0.8 : 4, the rational being you're half your usual speed climbing 12% grade. This ratio translates to 1 month climbing, 2 weeks descending, and 2 months on flat. So, velo:normal bike will be:
((1-0.4 [climb effort] ) ^ 2) * (1.39 [descent efficiency] ^ 0.8) * (1.34 [flat efficiency] ^ 4)
= 1.29
That is, it's actually 29% more efficient to cycle on a velo given the above sets of conditions. Plotted on a graph, you will see this:
where the red area is 29% larger than the green.
The more I think about it, the more I think it's bad. How would I go about improving it? How would you compare them? I would need to know more about the relationship between energy and drag, but that's waaaay beyond me.

The Ravalli County Health Department reports four more people are sick with pertussis. The outbreak has now climbed to 38, and two of the new cases are children.
The Missoula Health Department had clients coming in all day Friday. A Sentinel High School student tested positive for pertussis this week. It's the first whooping cough case in Missoula County since January. On normal days the Missoula Health Department answers about two calls on pertussis.
But, right now said infectious disease nurse Cindy Hotchkiss,"we're answering 30 to 40 calls in the infectious disease office and I can't tell you how many people are coming in the clinic. They're very busy."
"I heard about it on the news that there was a kid at Sentinel who had whooping cough," said Julie Steckler, "and I work in several schools, so I just want to take a preventive measure." Steckler and her husband both got booster shots.
Many people who came into get pertussis vaccination updates work in Missoula schools. The director of Missoula County Public Schools human resources came to get his shot. Steve McHugh said, "there are so many people walking in and out of our office, I just think we should get it done."

Voters mum on Higgins fire tax proposal
Voters have been silent on Higgins Fire Protection District's new tax proposal so far, but officials are taking steps to educate the public about what's at stake in the May 7 mail-in ballot election.
The Nevada County Clerk had received no written arguments for or against "Measure O" before Wednesday's board meeting, and none of the attendants had a comment on the matter. In the absence of a need for public debate, district officials say they are putting together a plan to educate citizens about why they're seeking a tax proposal less than a year after the last one failed.
If passed, Measure O would temporarily replace the current $25-per-structure tax on residential property with a $125 tax for the next 10 years. Additionally, commercial buildings would have to pay $40 per 1,000 square feet and industrial buildings $45 per 1,000 square feet. This would be effective for 10 years, starting with the 2013-2014 fiscal year and ending with the 2022-2023 fiscal year, at which time the previous rate would be reinstated.
Proponents of the measure say the current tax rate has been in place since 1980 and is no longer sufficient to fund fire services for the district's 12,000 residents, but voters turned down a similar proposal in June 2012 by a margin of 150 ballots.
Fire Chief Jerry Good said the authors of the new proposal tweaked last year's to make it more palatable, including a 10-year cap and removing a provision to raise the tax according to cost of living.
Board President John Boykin hopes higher awareness will help change the outcome this time around. He said the district barely gets by with the help of 25 volunteers and only four firefighters on duty to cover 90 square miles, which, in his 30 years of experience as a fire chief in
"We feel we didn't quite educate good enough to really let people know what we were trying to accomplish," he said. "We're going to manage whatever level (of service) they want, but we think we would be remiss if we didn't at least let them know what the results are."
The failure of Measure M last year forced the district to lay off six equivalent full-time positions and resort to keeping only two of its three stations open at a time. Good said the district recently failed to secure a highly-competitive SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) grant, and services could take another hit if Measure O fails.
"If it doesn't pass, we're still having to deal with a revenue source that is highly (erratic), and we could see more cuts if the economy doesn't get better," he said.
The station's auxiliary group is currently putting the finishing touches on a five-minute educational video to be posted on the fire district's website, and Good said written information will be mailed to constituents later this spring, weeks ahead of the election.
According to Boykin, the board opted for a mail election this time to avoid a scenario where voters go to the polls with other ballot issues in mind and automatically vote "no" on any tax increases.
"Looking at other districts, if it's a specific ballot where that's all that's being talked about, then people will focus on that," he said. "When they receive the information, they'll read it and they'll have better information and a better focus on it."
Good said anyone with questions about the election is welcome to visit www.higginsfire.org or email him at email@example.com.

Ekta's chocolate boy, King Khan of small screen is taking a much needed break right now after his recent cameo in Kayamath Serial on Star Plus.
Let's get to know from the man himself what's happening in his life these days.
So what's Eijaz Khan up to these days?
Well, I have not taken up any projects so right now Im just happily unemployed.
But I have completed shooting for my movie "Meerabhai not Out, which is to be released anytime soon when the producers feel to do so.
Does that mean we won't be seeing you on television soon?
Right now I don't know when I will be back television, but I will be looking up for work may be next month only.
So what else is keeping you busy these days?
These days I'm just trying to take care of my health a bit more, taking up more time for my work outs.
Also I have been busy visiting my family in different cities of India and abroad as well, I have not met my family and relatives in the past 4 years due to work, so just catching up with all of them. I just returned from
You have been nominated for Star Parivar Awards, how does it feel and any expectations?
I really don't have expectations for any awards, I always give my 100% to work so even if I win or not it doesn't make a difference to me as long as my work is appreciated by my fans.
Can we see your performance at the awards?
Right now I can't say, because I have not had a meeting with them. hoping to meet up shortly then only I will know whether I'm performing or not.
We have so many fans online voting for your nomination, any message for them?
Definitely I would like to tell them all that, thank you all for the continuous support given to me at all times, but the awards really doesn't matter to me as I have support from you all through out, those who like me also like my work, so what else could I ask more?. I do my work to please my fans, they are the biggest support in my life and everything I have done is just for them.
I'm really thankful to each and every one of them for there blessings. Thankfully I'm blessed with such great fans, so why do I need an award?
So here's wishing you good luck for your career, and hoping to see you soon on our screens.

3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD)-esters represent a newly identified class of food-borne process contaminants of possible health concern. Due to hydrolysis 3-MCPD esters constitute a potentially significant source of free 3-MCPD exposure and their preliminary risk assessment was based on toxicological data on free 3-MCPD. 3-MCPD is a non-genotoxic carcinogen and a (provisional maximum) tolerable daily intake ((PM)TDI) of 2 µg/kg bodyweight per day was established by the Scientific Committee on Food and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives. Both committees derived the TDI from a lowest observed adverse effect level, not a no observed adverse effect level, for renal tubular hyperplasia, using an uncertainty factor of 500. When using the Benchmark Dose (BMD) approach and a BMDL10 value as point of departure, part of this uncertainty factor of 500 would no longer be needed. The present study presents a BMD analysis of the currently available chronic data on 3-MCPD mediated induction of tubular hyperplasia in rats as the most sensitive endpoint. The results indicate a (model-averaged) BMDL10 value of 0.72 mg/kg bw/day. The TDI that would be derived based on this BMDL10 value will depend on the uncertainty factor chosen. Using the default uncertainty factor of 100 for inter- and intraspecies extrapolation would result in a TDI of 7 µg/kg bw/day.

According to our panel of student and children's ministry staff, you don't have to be cool or athletic to work with kids; you just need to show up. Listen in for some ideas that will inspire you to get involved with youth or wherever else the Lord may lead.
Roundtable guests (L to R): Kevin Gosselin, Jason Clark and Shonica David with podcast host, Lisa Anderson
Culture: Called to Stay
Caleb Breakey used to judge his church. In fact, he was kind of fed up with it. That's before God worked on his heart and mind, challenging him to confess his bad attitude (let's just call it "sin") and instead plug into his church and start loving people right where they were. His transformation led to Called to Stay, a book that will challenge your assumptions about church, and convince you that Jesus' love for His bride is enough to draw us to her.
Inbox: Where Are My Peers?
Church is a great place to connect, but what if you can't find anyone in your age bracket or stage of life? This is especially problematic for young adults, and our listener wants to be part of the solution for getting our peers back in the pews. Candice Watters shares some ideas.

Turning Negatives Into Positives.
Wednesday, July 24, 2013
Happy HUMPday, my "Sparky" friends. We're inching our way closer to the weekend...woohoo. Oh, if only every day were a weekend!
This week marks a year since some major revelations occurred in my life. The past twelve months have been a blur on occasion and I shuffled through emotions, circumstances and changes. I really had to find the inner strength in myself to keep smiling and chugging along. It wasn't easy sometimes, but I discovered that my inner strength is a beast when it needs to be. The changes that have occurred in the past twelve months are really phenomenal: started a new job (love it), started working on my Master's degree, auditioned for and was cast as the lead in a musical production, started an after-school tutoring/mentoring program at my HS, enrolled in six different cooking classes, traveled throughout Europe, found Sparkpeople and, to-date, have lost 20lbs in 37 days.
There is no way I could have turned the negatives in my life into something positive without finding my inner "beast." To combat my emotions, I would often turn to food to ease my pain, frustration and lack of self-esteem. I am ashamed to admit that for years I have been unable to look at myself in the mirror with any confidence, but that is changing. I tend to be everyone else's cheerleader, but not my own...until now. Now, I use exercise to help me through rough days. I find that when I'm upset, I can take it out on the pavement and my walking shoes. I'm averaging over 15,000 steps a day, which is roughly 6 miles, and climbing 10 floors of stairs per day, according to my Fitbit (best purchase I've made this year). I'm also incorporating my elliptical and strength training throughout the week. I'm finding a new love for exercise (scary revelation).
I've gained a whole new approach to my life and learned it starts with ME. As soon as I started putting me first, so many awesome things happened in my life. I finally gave that inner "beast" of mine a voice and she doesn't purr...she GROWLS! While I try not to dwell on the past and look forward to the future, I cannot deny that the past is what fuels the changes as I soar into the future. I know that I cannot predict the future, but I can shape it, mold it and try hard to make it evolve into something spectacular for myself.
Here's to the rest of an awesome week, my "Sparkled" friends. I hope your week rocks your socks off and you, too, find your inner "beast."

Book review: 'The Fourteenth Day: JFK and the Aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis' by David G. Coleman
The United States put crippling fear aside when the Soviets blinked in the Cuban missile crisis of October 1962, but the fat lady hadn't sung.
We know the rest of the story with the publication of "The Fourteenth Day: JFK and the Aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis" (Norton, $25.95).
Just because Nikita Khrushchev responded to President John Kennedy's warnings and agreed to turn the ships around didn't mean he would keep his word. Then there was the matter of the weapons that had been put in Cuba before the main crisis.
Kennedy was under pressure to assure our nation that the threat was resolved. But if he gave such assurance and it turned out hollow, it was unlikely Kennedy could win a second term in 1964.
These and other problems were discussed in the Oval Office. What's noteworthy — and the material for this book — is that the deliberations were captured on secret White House tapes that are transcribed and made public. It is believed Kennedy wanted White House tapes for book material after his presidency.
Kennedy kept former President Dwight Eisenhower fully informed about the missile crisis, not wanting to be criticized by Ike. But that didn't quiet former Vice President Richard Nixon, known as the attack dog for the Republican party.
Discussions about Nixon and others add spice to the book. Kennedy's strengths, weaknesses — even his quirks — are aired.
Author David G. Coleman, chairman of the Miller Center's Presidential Recordings Program and University of Virginia history professor, is credited with putting readers "in the Oval Office during perhaps the most dramatic foreign policy crisis in America's history."
Students of American history and the presidency will find much that's beneficial in these pages.

Comments about Gator GL-AC-BASS Lightweight Acoustic Bass Guitar Case:
I'm using this case for a Michael Kelly Firefly 5-string. It's a full size acoustic and there's room to spare, not so much for the body but for the neck length. I would assume the case is big enough for most anything. The quality is very good and it looks nice. It's hard to tell from the pictures on the Gator website but the inside is soft black plush. It looks brownish on my computer. MF doesn't show a picture of the inside. So if you're wondering, it's all black. It's also lightweight as promised and seems sturdy enough for a gigging musician. I wouldn't take it on tour, but for most folks, it's fine. Other than price I have only one complaint... The lid won't stay open!!! It's aggravating. The fabric retainer strap is too short so you have to hold it open with one hand or your elbow while you put your precious instrument in while trying to avoid the zipper. I suspect it's a problem not common to all cases like this, probably just mine. I didn't want to send it back for something so trivial but the longer I have it the more of a nuisance it becomes. Otherwise it's fine and I'm very pleased but I gotta ding it one star for that lid.
Comments about Gator GL-AC-BASS Lightweight Acoustic Bass Guitar Case:
I would give this a 10 if it were a little less pricey!
I looked high and low for a case for my Fender Kingman Acoustic Bass. Due to it's length, many case were too small. I purchased this Gator case and it fits great! I even went to Fender directly and the caser they have for this Bass were 2 months wait for supply.
Very sturdy and lightweight!

But in case of a linux server that have some proxies configured bytesTotal returns 0 and bytesLoaded returns the correct value as usual. Anybody know what the issue is? Do we need to configure something inside the proxy or the linux server to get the totalbytes?

I have to say, this looks quite nice. The characters have distinct personalities, although I think they might have been introduced to quickly. I chucked at the final fantasy reference. And Apples totally did it because she stole the chicken. Not really my type of game, but I enjoyed what I played.
Have you tried Ghost Trick for the DS? It's made by the same guys that made Phoenix Wright, and it has a similar subtitle: Phantom Detective. I really enjoyed it, and you probably would too.

Former hitman John Martorano who admitted killing 20 people was set to testify for a second day in the racketeering trial of James "Whitey" Bulger, as Bulger's attorneys prepared to attack his credibility.
Former hitman John Martorano who admitted killing 20 people was set to testify for a second day in the racketeering trial of James "Whitey" Bulger, as Bulger's attorneys prepared to attack his credibility.
Martarano took the stand Monday to testify against Bulger, a man to whom he was once so close he named his youngest son after him.
He said he was heartbroken when he learned in the late 1990s that Bulger and partner Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi had been working as FBI informants. That's when he decided to cooperate with prosecutors and testify against Bulger and others in exchange for a reduced sentence, he said.
Bulger's lawyers did not get a chance to question Martorano on Monday, but they are expected to challenge his credibility and the deal he got from prosecutors when they cross-examine him, possibly as early as Tuesday. Martorano served just 12 years in prison after admitting to the 20 murders. He was released in 2007.

In opening statements last week, Bulger's lead attorney, J.W. Carney Jr., told the jury that prosecutors were so desperate to get Martorano to testify that "they basically threw their hands up in the air and said, `Take anything you want.'"
Bulger, now 83, is charged in a broad racketeering indictment that accuses him of participating in 19 murders in the 1970s and `80s.
Martorano spoke nonchalantly Monday when describing a string of murders he committed while he was a member of the notorious Winter Hill Gang in the `70s.
But he said he felt betrayed when he learned his former partners – Bulger and Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi – were FBI informants.
"After I heard that they were informants, it sort of broke my heart, said Martorano.
Martorano is the first of three former Bulger cohorts who have cooperated with prosecutors and agreed to testify against Bulger.
"They were my partners in crime, they were my best friends, they were my children's godfathers," Martorano said, of Bulger and Flemmi. He said he named his youngest son James Stephen after them.
During his testimony, Martorano described what he said was Bulger's involvement in several killings, saying that while he shot someone from a car, Bulger and others would ride in a second car to intervene if anyone tried to stop the shooting.
He described the death of one victim, Alfred Notarangeli, in 1974.
Martorano said Bulger's gang decided to kill Notarangeli to help the Italian Mafia in Boston, a sometime rival, whose leadership said Notarangeli had killed one of their agents and was a "loose cannon."
On March 8, 1973, Martorano said, he drove in the lead car while Bulger followed, both tailing a Mercedes they believed was driven by Notarangeli.
"We pulled guns and we were shooting at it," Martorano said, referring to himself and another member of the gang.
They later learned that it was not Notarangeli in the car, but instead a man named Michael Milano, who was shot to death. Martarano said they continued to chase Notarangeli and ended up killing him and his brother, Joseph Notarangeli.
Bulger is charged in the killings of both brothers, as well as Milano's killing.

New Delhi, March 26 (IANS) Nicole Kidman-starrer "Grace of Monaco", produced by YRF Entertainment's Uday Chopra, is set for a Dec 27 release.
The Weinstein Company (TWC) has acquired the US distribution rights of Olivier Dahan's forthcoming film. "Grace of Monaco" will have a limited release when it comes out on Dec 27 based on the model the company used for the Oscar-winning movie "Iron Lady".
"It has been a wonderful experience to be working with Nicole Kidman, Tim Roth and the whole group. I am very happy now to share the experience with Monsieur Weinstein and the whole team at TWC. This is exciting," said Dahan in a statement.
In the film, Nicole Kidman plays luminously beautiful movie star Grace Kelly who became a real-life princess after marrying Prince Rainier III of Monaco, played in the film by Tim Roth.
Kelly struggles to make peace between her adopted country and France.
Kelly had given up her acting career to become Monaco's First Lady and then manoeuvred through a political minefield to resolve the situation, as detailed in the film.
TWC co-chairman Harvey Weinstein said more than 30 years after her death, "Kelly's story continues to be one of insurmountable allure and we are so happy Dahan has brought it new life" .
"As usual Kidman's commanding performance is the perfect portrait of a woman who was not only royal, but who also remained a legend of the silver screen and fashion icon," he added.
The film also features Frank Langella, Paz Vega, Parker Posey, Milo Ventimiglia and Derek Jacobi in supporting roles.

I am getting the same error
"A network problem or firewall is blocking all connections from your web server to Akismet.com. Akismet cannot work correctly until this is fixed."
It looks like the Akismet server is down at the moment. Let's wait a few hours and see
Just checked the link. It is exactly the same with me so there is maybe no problem in you plug in directory but a wide server problem.
I am gonna check in wordpress.com to see if they say something abt the akismet. It comes together with the free wordpress.
I'm having this problem too! It comes and goes and I've had contact with my server host and they can't find any problem. I've checked firewalls but nothing... any solution??
It depends what version of Akismet you are using. The version 2.2.4 has a bug causing this error while everything actually is working correctly. Guys from Automattic (who are the producer of this plugin) say the next version 2.2.5 should fix it. I didn't update yet, but try it if it works for you.
Just started getting this problem today, on host 1&1. It means I'm now getting hundreds of spam comments an hour until it's sorted! Did anyone find a solution?
WP 2.8.3/Akismet 2.2.6.
Same problem here. Started today out of the blue.
WP 2.9.2 / Akismet 2.2.7
Upgrade to 2.3.0
I don't have any problem.
Maybe like quantribenhvien say, upgrade it.
I always upgrade the WP and akismet,
and i have no problem regarding this issue.
My blog usually spamed, usually they was blocked by akismet, but sometimes not.

With a blizzard coming, doctors and nurses at local hospitals showed up to work on Christmas and prepared to stay for up to a few days.
Hospital employees picked up doctors and nurses who couldn't make it in to work. Some showed up on Christmas night and volunteered to stay for a few days. They slept in patient rooms and brought enough clothes to last them a few days.
The goal was to be sure that the hospital had enough doctors and nurses on staff for emergencies and the patients who need care the most and to make sure that workers were safe, officials said.
At Johnson Memorial Hospital in Franklin, a few surgeries were done Wednesday morning before patients and doctors began calling in and rescheduling because they couldn't get to the hospital, said Bill Oakes, hospital director of business development.
The hospital began working on a plan on Christmas day to get nurses and doctors there before the storm hit, Oakes said. Other employees, such as administrative staff, were told to stay home, he said.
Surgeries and other nonessential procedures have been postponed, and Oakes expected the hospital to be more empty than usual over the next few days. Doctors and nurses are there for the patients most in need of care, he said.
At Community Hospital South in Indianapolis, nurses and doctors volunteered to stay overnight and possibly for a few days so the hospital would have enough staff for emergencies and patients who come in, said Lacey Clifford, hospital spokeswoman.
Franciscan St. Francis Health-Indianapolis continually updates an emergency plan for hazardous weather, such as snow. Hospital officials determine which employees need transportation to the hospital and ask employees to bring extra clothing and necessities, such as personal medications, in case they have to stay overnight, spokesman Joe Stuteville said.
He said the hospital notified employees about the plan Tuesday night.
"We're always prepared for situations like this, long before the storm hits," Stuteville said.

Dick Heatly was an assistant coach for three Washington teams that played in Rose Bowl.
Dick Heatly, an assistant football coach at Washington from 1957-63, died Thursday of complications from Alzheimer's disease in Spartanburg, S.C. He was 83.
Heatly worked under Huskies coach Jim Owens, who had been a teammate at Oklahoma. Heatly was part of a UW staff that led the Huskies into one of their golden eras, winning the Rose Bowl in 1960 and 1961 and advancing to another one following the 1963 season.
The 1960 team has been recognized by UW as one of two to win national titles after going 10-1 and beating Minnesota in the Rose Bowl.
Heatly coached backs (in an era of one-platoon football) and punters. He left UW to become an assistant at Oklahoma and later sold business jet airplanes. He was a jet fighter pilot and served in the Korean War.

Airline merger still up in air
DALLAS — Directors of American Airlines' parent company likely won't make a decision when they meet Wednesday to consider a possible merger with US Airways, even as momentum for a deal is building. Investors have been bidding up US Airways' stock price, and leaders of the two pilot unions agree on how to combine contracts, two developments that analysts say strengthen the case for a tie-up. Still there could be a way to go. American parent AMR Corp., which filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2011, and US Airways Group Inc. have been talking about a potential merger since late summer but have not agreed on price, each side's ownership share, and who would run the company, according to people familiar with the situation.
Live online television to expand
NEW YORK — The Barry Diller-backed Internet company that challenged cable and satellite TV services by offering inexpensive live television online plans to expand beyond New York City this spring. In the wake of a federal court ruling that tentatively endorsed its legality, Aereo will bring its $8-a-month service to Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington and 18 other markets in the U.S., as well as to New York's suburbs. For the past year, the service had been limited to New York City residents as the company fine-tuned its technology and awaited guidance on whether its unlicensed use of free, over-the-air broadcasts amounted to a copyright violation. A federal judge in New York ruled in July that the service doesn't appear to violate copyright law because individual subscribers are assigned their own, tiny antenna at Aereo's Brooklyn data center, making it analogous to the free signal a consumer would get with a regular antenna at home.
Target to match online prices
NEW YORK — Target Corp. is pledging to match prices of select online rivals year-round, a move that underscores how physical and online retailing are meshing together. Matching online prices is rare but expected to become more common as shoppers move increasingly online. Target, the nation's second largest discounter behind Walmart Stores Inc., said it will match prices that customers find on identical products at top online retailers, all the time. The online list includes Amazon.com as well as the websites of Walmart, Best Buy, Toys R Us and Babies R Us. Target's move follows a similar holiday price match that began Nov. 1 and ended Dec. 16. Target is also making permanent its holiday offer of matching prices of items found at its stores with its website.
Chevrolet to begin new tagline
DETROIT — Chevrolet is dropping its "Chevy Runs Deep" slogan and replacing it with the new tagline "Find New Roads," saying that it's better geared toward drivers outside the U.S. The General Motors Co. brand pointed to its significant overseas expansion over the past several years, noting that it's developing products for sale in more than 140 markets around the world. "'Find New Roads' will enable the whole company to rally around a consistent theme for the brand, and at the same time serve as an external message that works in all markets," GM marketing chief Alan Batey said in a statement. "The theme has meaning in mature markets like the U.S. as well as emerging markets like Russia and India, where the potential for continued growth is the greatest," he said.
Boeing 787 fire inquiry grows
MINNEAPOLIS — Federal safety investigators intensified their scrutiny of a Monday fire aboard a Boeing 787 as concerned investors sold shares in the aircraft maker for a second day. Boeing on Tuesday confirmed that the fire aboard a Japan Airlines plane appeared to have started in a battery pack for the plane's auxiliary power unit. The National Transportation Safety Board described the fire damage to the battery as "severe," and said it is sending two more investigators to examine the Japan Airlines plane. It also formed investigative groups to look at the plane's electrical systems as well as the fire response. Boeing has a lot riding on the 787. The long-range jet promises a smoother travel experience and is 20 percent more fuel efficient than older models. After years of delays, Boeing has now delivered 49 of the planes, with almost 800 more on order.

BRUSSELS — Record unemployment and fraying social welfare systems in southern Europe risk creating a new divide in the continent, the EU warned Tuesday, after figures showed joblessness across the 17 EU countries that use the euro hit a new high. Eurozone unemployment rose to 11.8 percent in November, the highest since the euro currency was founded in 1999, according to the statistical agency Eurostat. The rate was up from 11.7 percent in October and 10.6 percent a year earlier. In the wider 27-nation European Union, the world's largest economic bloc with 500 million people, unemployment broke the 26 million mark for the first time.
Google chairman visits N. Korea
PYONGYANG, North Korea — Students at North Korea's premier university showed Google's executive chairman Tuesday how they look for information online: they Google it. But surfing the Internet that way is the privilege of only a very few in North Korea, whose authoritarian government imposes strict limits on access to the Web. Google's Eric Schmidt got a first look at North Korea's limited Internet usage when an American delegation that he and former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson are leading visited a computer lab at Kim Il Sung University in Pyongyang.
