Oklahoma City Barons: Line changes help Barons snap 5-game skid
Barons coach Todd Nelson changing up the lines paid huge benefits the first game.
Three of the Barons' four lines found the net in a 5-1 American Hockey League win over San Antonio on Friday night at the Cox Convention Center.
Scoring three first-period goals, the Barons coasted to a win to end a five-game losing streak.
"We have firepower throughout our lineup," said Jordan Eberle, who had a goal and an assist. "Any good team has depth. We definitely have that in our lineup. It's just a matter of it showing up every night."
Outshooting the Rampage 17-8 in the first period, 35-26 for the game, the Barons peppered San Antonio goaltender Jacob Markstrom, the reigning AHL Player of the Week. Markstrom was pulled after two periods with OKC leading 4-1.
"I thought we were better all the way around," Nelson said. "Sometimes when you change lines it gives you a fresh look. It paid off tonight."
Taylor Hall and Eberle, two young stars who have played the past two seasons with the Edmonton Oilers, used some nifty stick work to give the Barons a 2-0 lead midway through the first period.
Eberle intercepted a pass from Rampage defenseman Michael Caruso to skate in uncontested to give the Barons a 1-0 lead. It was Eberle's 15th goal of the season which ties him with Syracuse's Tyler Johnson for the AHL lead.
"When Jordan scored that goal our whole bench lifted up," Nelson said. "It was like, 'OK, now we're off to the races.'"
Less than two minutes later, Hall charged out of the far corner with the puck and skated in uncontested for a 2-0 lead.
The third first-period goal for a 3-0 lead was scored by defenseman Colten Teubert. Markstrom was unaware the puck was sitting on the goal line. Teubert fought through traffic to poke in his second goal of the season.
"It's like a moon eclipse where it only happens once or twice a year," joked Tebuert, who also had an assist. "It's all defense the rest of the year."
The Rampage swept two one-goal games last weekend in San Antonio and had won three of the first four meetings. The Barons can tie the season series with a win Saturday night. It will be the fourth meeting in a week. Faceoff is 7:05 p.m.
"This is the AHL. It seems like you play each other a million times," Teubert said. "You're like brothers by the end of it and you want to kill each other. Obviously they're a big team. We just have to know if we can win battles in front of the net we'll have chances to score."
Play was chippy Friday with six fighting penalties, four roughing calls, two unsportsmanlike conducts and a game misconduct.
"Tempers obviously are starting to flare," Nelson said. "It's like a playoff series. The intensity will rise. They wanted to try and set the tone for (Saturday). That's why all those extracurricular activities were going on. "
The South Division rivals will play each other 12 times this season.
"Their team identity is a big, strong team," Eberle said. "Down 5-1, you have to expect they're going to push back and try to send a message. At the end of the day we have to be smart, use our skill and realize we play them again (Saturday)."

text: Beware of Crowded Trades Vadim Zlotnikov October 04, 2011 Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Equities Trying to avoid a repeat of the last market disaster sows the seeds for the next one. The collapse of large growth companies after the tech bubble burst in 2000 led to strong leadership by small-cap value stocks for many years. And the market plunge in 2008 has led to investors' crowding into a number of "safe" trades, such as high-dividend stocks, Treasury bonds and passive equity strategies. These are not unreasonable strategies, given today's economic and political uncertainties. But with most investors on the same side, today's "safe" trades have become very, very expensive. Five-year Treasuries, for example, now have negative yields on an inflation-adjusted basis. That suggests trouble down the road when the crowd tries to unwind their "safe" investments. And the extreme market slump over the last few weeks—driven by concerns about the global economy—has only increased the crowding and increased the potential problems that will occur when the inevitable unwinding begins. Investors in today's crowded "safe" trades may also pay a hefty opportunity cost by avoiding the undervalued stocks that stand to gain the most when the unwinding of "safe" strategies begins. For example, both mega-cap and high-volatility (or cyclical)stocks are trading at record discounts. In addition, the number of leveraged-buyout or corporate acquisition candidates is close to previous peaks (Display ), with provocative valuations passed over by gun-shy potential buyers. The stocks most favored by active managers in recent years—those that are overweighted by the greatest number of managers—have underperformed by roughly 7% per year between 2008 and 2011. Such dismal returns by "high- conviction" companies are partly attributable to huge outflows from U.S.active managers into passive strategies, which forced sales of some of the largest positions. More generally, opportunity to profit from individual stock selection has been fairly limited, with outsize returns coming from a relatively small group of stable, high-dividend-paying stocks (Display ). Interestingly, returns to companies with attractive price-to-book valuations (even outside of financials) are extremely poor, which reflects a broader skepticism over committing to underpriced stocks. At the same time, crowded investments are inherently comfortable and can continue to attract capital for a long time. Arguably, crowded trades in tech stocks made the sector overvalued in early 1999—yet it continued to significantly outperform for another 15 months. Likewise, excesses in subprime mortgages were evident as early as 2005, but it took another three years before the bubble burst. Similarly, today's "safe" trades may become even more overvalued before they reverse. But when they do reverse, the rotation is apt to be painful for participants in today's popular investments. The key to avoiding the painful reversal of crowded trades, in my view, is to maintain thoughtful diversification, including exposure to "uncrowded" investments, such as buyout candidates, mega-caps and cyclicals. The payoff could be significant, especially if corporations pursue growth through acquisitions or if China decides to undertake more direct investment in the US through equities instead of buying Treasuries. Likewise, the catalysts could be a rise in the rate of inflation. Rebalancing is also critical, since the reversal of crowded trades—once it begins—can proceed very quickly. Rebalancing can also contribute substantially to returns through forced profit-taking and diversification if the markets remain volatile. We can't know when the reversal will occur or what will trigger it, nor do we discount the very real risks that stocks are encountering today, but history suggests that we'll eventually see change in the positive direction.

Hi T-Mar,
Thanks for the input. Now to get started on making it rideable...
Hi T-Mar,
Thanks for the input. Now to get started on making it rideable...
Here is my 1986 Univega Gran Turismo - 62cm
It's my favorite ride and the most versatile bike in my stable - can't wait to mount my generator, lights and a front low-rider rack and take it on tour.
More pictures can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/9765217...7621793160091/

Here is my 1981 Specialissima. I'd like to have U-brake studs mounted and a set of paul racers on it eventually but the record calipers work fine for now, I really didn't want cantilevers so this is perfect, This bike has an incredibly smooth yet not sluggish ride.
Probably will switch to Nitto Noodles and a nitto stem soon. Funny enough my blackburn rack wouldn't fit because of the steep seatstays and relatively far forward drop-out eyelets, so I used this trace front rack instead... looks kinda funny but actually worked great with my ortleib front panniers for a weekend trip to Vancouver a couple weeks back.
Special thanks to 24tracktape for the trade! I'd like to get a titanium syncros post for it but the last 26.8 on ebay went for over 170USD! Thinking about getting one of these.
Don't know why the photos aren't showing up on my screen....

1 Super Record bike, 1 Nuovo Record bike, 1 Pista, 1 Road, 1 Cyclocross/Allrounder, 1 MTB, 1 Touring, 1 Fixed gear
Needs a silver rear rack to complete the look, but a nice ride!!!,,,,BD
I picked this bike up out of the TRASH around the corner from my house. The Lovely Wife tipped me off. No saddle on the seat post and the tires were flat. I added air, found a $2 saddle at Urban Ore (NorCal Recycler) and I was off.
when my MTB was stolen a year ago, I had my old dead Cateye Mity-2 off the bike. Contacted Cateye, "yes, the mounting bracket and sender are still available, that'll be $9" with the bike computer mounted the kid and I have been riding the Bay Trail the last couple of weekends, with her asking "how fast are we going now daddy?"
I've upgraded the saddle again (another recycled one) replaced the tires and tubes with the cheapest 27" road tires I could find. Been rebuilding my tool kit and remembering how to work on bikes again. And I know this is silly, but stapled little strips of leather around the hubs, something a scoutmaster of mine showed me way back during the Carter administration. I love this bike!
heres my nuovo record italvega before the name changed to univega. all original.
"how fast are we going now daddy?"
My kid was always asking the same thing, I finally got her a computer for herself. Wouldn't you know it the next year my son kept asking. My reply now is "ask your sister".
I love that brownish\tan color. It looks alot like a Raleigh Super Course I had.
I picked this up a few weeks ago for not too much change... here's the before shots. I have a replacement front wheel, tires, cables and seat all ready to put on the bike. I can't wait to post the after pics! I worked in a Univega shop in the late 80s/early 90s and was always REALLY impressed with the value.
Well, my son and I were a little busy this morning, so we got to work on it. I owe some better pics, but here it is more or less complete!
Gran Premio
I just picked-up a small Univega Alpina last night. It appears to be a touring bike. (Has a small holder for spare spokes.) It seems the frame and fork are original, not sure about anything else. Well, I know the wheelset and components are not.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find more information. I'd like to find out when it was manufactured and how it might have been configured.
I was thinking I'd convert this to a single-speed beater bike, but I rode it last night and I may have talked myself out of it. I'm thinking it'd be fun to try and restore with original parts and components.
I think I may have just become a Univega Enthusiast.
I'm not sure this bike is the Alpina that is the mountain bike. I've looked at those and I think that mine may pre-date the mountain bike line. It has all the hallmarks of a touring bike. (Check out the picts and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.)
It took me a while to get around to taking them and getting them uploaded.
So far as I can tell, the following appear to be original parts: rear wheel and hub, the headset, front fork and front derailer, and the seat post. (I base this on some internet research that suggests that this bike came with SunTour componenets, as well as another Japanese make...the name escapes me at the moment.) It has some other Shimano parts.
I've included a picture of the bike, a picture of the spare spoke storage area and the bag mounts on the front fork...all reasons why I think this is a touring bike and not a mountain bike. (Sorry the fork is turned sideways, the original file isn't that way, but the thumbnail that was created when I uploaded is rotated.)
Check out the pictures and feel free to chime-in.
I knew very little about road bikes back when I got my Super Strada seen here right after I rebuilt it, but before I finished it or got it dialed in:
When I got it, it was sitting complete in a backyard with a bunch of newer mountain bikes. I had no tires or tubes on it, was missing the seat post and pedals and had a small portion of red/black leopard print bar tape left on the bars, it was otherwise in time capsule condition. The parts it came with were:
- Dura Ace 7400 groupset
- 600 DT shifters and headset
- 600 hubs laced to Saturae 700c rims
It has become my main bike since that time.
I have slowly been upgrading nearly every single part since then. The bike has had three major revisions. It seems that I am slowly going to be changing out every relevant part for parts that offer increased performance/personalization of fit. Here's what I have so far:
- 40cm ATAX Guidons Philippe D352 bar -> 42cm Modolo ergo
- DA 7400 front brake and front and rear derailleurs -> Ultegra 6600 pieces
- Bontrager saddle -> San Marco Ischia
- MKS Sylvan pedals -> Looks
- 600 hubs laced to Saturae 700c rims -> Shimano RSX freehub laced to Mavic CXP11 rims (front wheel is now an unknown 28 spoke radial.
I figure it will eventually have full Ultegra 6600 equipment (with DA 7800 shifters) the way I'm going.
Here it is pictured much the way it is now, except that it's missing the Ultegra 6600 RD which I put on recently in preparation for 10 speed:
Future plans include:
- Need another 42cm, 26mm clamp ergo bar that has a tighter drop than my Modolo. This one is perfect in drops, but hurts my wrists on the hoods. If I rotate it up, the drops don't fit.
- DA 7800 hubs laced to Velocity Deep Vs in Ti finish, 32/32 radial
- DA 7800 DT shifters or possibly 7800 brifters if I can't find a set of aero levers that feel comfortable on the hoods of.
Let me know what you guys think!
"Winning is the best deodorant. Someone can look at your bike and say it stinks, but if you win with it, suddenly it's okay." - Jim Busby
Yup. 650B tires, right?
This is a mountain bike converted with a drop bar, bar end shifters and road brakes. Another point is that the triple crank up front is a mountain bike crank. Touring/Road triple crank bikes usually have a 53 or 52 cog and this one probably has a high in the mid 40s.

haven't posted this in this thread yet, so here it goes:

86 Miyata made Nuovo Sport. 12 speed w/ qr wheels n calipers. CroMo frame. Lawee Design. Signature cranks. Shimano Light Action rear der. unsure about the front.
Within the first 1 1/2 weeks of ownership, I got new tires, got the saddle bag w/ the riding essentials. Also swapped (two days ago) to aero levers w/ cyclocross levers. Yesterday on my way to work I lost my taillight so no more dark riding. =(
Some great Univegas in this thread! I just finished restoring and updating my '86 Maxima Sport.
Here is my Ultraleggerra. I have it decked out with Dura Ace 7400 and 7700 with a 9 speed friction downtube setup. I added the Shimano stickers.
It is the nicest Univega that I have seen. I really lucked out with this find. I got it on ebay about 4 years ago for $75. The Dura-Ace headset, it came with, was almost worth that.
The frame is built with Shimano dropouts and Tange Prestige oversized tubing, and fillet braizing. My guess is that it came from the late 80s or early 90s. I think this frame is as nice as any steel frame from that era. I have searched the internet high and low and I have never seen another. Does anyone know anything about the Ultraleggera? Who built it? Has anyone seen it in any of the catalogs?
I am 6'1" and have ridden a 59cm frame for over 20 years but I really like this more compact setup. In fact I now almost prefer this setup. It is a great riding machine.

If 80's steel was good enough for Hinault, Moser, Kelly, Roche, Lemond and Anderson then I need to prove my worthiness of it on a daily basis.
Holdsworth Professional (Reynolds 531 early 80's)
Special Build Team Raleigh (Reynolds 753 1987?)
Medici Pro Strada (early 80's Tange Prestige)
Univega Ultraleggera (Tange Prestige oversized .8/.5/.8 late 80's or early 90's)
I do not know who manufactured it, but I doubt it is Miyata and is probably a Taiwanese manufacturer. The serial number may substantiate the year and provide a clue to the manufacturer.
Over the weekend, I picked up a Gran Turismo from a motivated CL seller. Serial # starts with M, which leads me to conclude it's a 1984 based on what I've read in this thread. I've already stripped it down, and it looks like it'll build up again very nicely. BB shows very little wear, and the headset feels smooth. I also fitted it with 700c wheels, and as reported in this thread, the existing Dia Compe canti brakes handled the 4mm lowering just fine.

[Update! Congratulations to Rachel Q, winner of the giveaway!] A long time ago, I heard a superstition that says the activities in which you partake on New Year's Day set the tone for the way your coming year will go: Spend money, and it will be a year of loss. Receive money, and it will be a year of gain. Work, and you'll be industrious. Play, and you'll be full of fun. Eat something green, so the tradition goes, and you can expect the luck of more green (of the financial kind) to find its way to you in the months ahead. So it's with that old superstition in mind that we bring you today's cheesy oven fries, kicked up a notch with lemony green dressing, salty and addicting and very green---even though, between us, it's not exactly money that we're hoping to find more of in 2013. (Warning: extremely long post to follow.) … [Read more...]
the change that comes
I am at a place right now where I am standing still in life. Everywhere around me, people are rushing for things---new places and careers, new relationships, new life, even---and I am watching them. I want to go forward, to take a step, join them, but instead I stare at my feet, unmoving and, if I'm honest, afraid. Most days, I want a blueprint: a very, very specific outline of steps to take, with guarantees and/or backup plans, if possible. So I talk to people who've been in similar situations, and they tell me what they did, whether they got their first apartment at 17 or had to work their way through college or stayed at their first job for five years. But no matter how similar life stories are, they aren't the same. Following your choices won't guarantee that I follow your life. Your future can't be mine. And I don't really want it to be. Not when I'm honest. In fact, I don't really want advice, either. I think I just want someone to listen and nod and … [Read more...]
the perfect complement
For some of us, we found out in kindergarten, say when we were the goofy pink pig in a school play, holding a large cardboard animal in front of our puffy party dress, wearing a big white bow in our equally puffy hair (later immortalized in photographs we'd see again and again). But there are others, I suppose, who didn't know until high school or adulthood maybe, when they didn't get the promotion they wanted or didn't become famous, or, if they did, it didn't turn out to be what they'd hoped. Whenever it happens, we eventually learn: Not everyone can be the star. And maybe I've just known this for so long that I'm justifying, but, here's my take: It's not so bad to play a supporting role. In order for anyone to be a star, someone has to be a fan. For every leading lady, there's a winsome best friend. For every best-selling author, there are publishers and editors and illustrators, not to mention readers---the people who ultimately determine a book's success. And in that way, … [Read more...]

If it seems cliché for me, a girl learning to cook, to want (and receive) a Julia Child book for Christmas, well, maybe it is. But, you know, not all clichés are bad. That one about how a penny saved is a penny earned? I kind of like that one. And you're only young once? That's true, too. Maybe you're thinking up some new year's resolutions: Get in shape? Save more money? I say, What the heck. Let's all embrace clichés. Julia Child is kind of The Great Famous Chef, the one who brought French cooking to American domestics, who seemed so excited, so full of gusto, she made you believe you could cook what she could, even from your little kitchen. (And that voice! Was there anything so endearing?) So I wanted Mastering the Art of French Cooking, like millions of home cooks have before and millions will after. To begin, I opened to the first chapter and set my hopes on potage parmentier or, leek and onion soup. Julia---we're on a first-name basis now---says yellow onions are fine, and … [Read more...]

The Seattle Times Editorial Board questions the value of the traffic study issued by the developer of the proposed Seattle basketball arena.
THE traffic "study" for the proposed basketball arena in Seattle's Sodo District was sure done quickly. Investor Chris Hansen is in a sweat to let his deal flow to its desired conclusion before anyone sandbags it.
His spokesman said he had no control over the study; the city required it and he paid the $70,000 for it.
The capsule summary is that the traffic will be fine.
Actually the study does not quite say that. It says the traffic will be bearable most of the time, providing fans are willing to park as far away as the western edge of Interstate 5 and walk through Sodo, and providing the Mariners aren't winning big. If the baseball team has a big season, it will conflict with basketball, and there will be days of traffic hell.
- Seattle fifth-graders will get their camp trip, but teachers refuse to go
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Five things to watch as Seahawks begin OTAs Monday
- Ivar's looks to sell, lease back two venerable restaurant sites
- What the national media are saying about Robinson Cano and the Mariners' hot start to the season
Most Read Stories
The study says this can be handled with "added parking supplies," "future road improvements" and "a major expansion of Link light rail." That's not quite saying traffic will be fine.
The study didn't look at how traffic behaves in the hours before a game, though critics said the buildup begins hours earlier. As for the effect of future stadium traffic on the trucks going from the Port of Seattle's container terminals, the study said it "would be minimal."
Maybe it would be, at first. But the Port wants to grow. Over the next 10, 20 or 50 years, container volumes are bound to increase — and they will conflict with basketball traffic.
Probably they will conflict with baseball and football traffic whether the new arena is built or not. A basketball arena will make congestion worse, hastening the day when Seattle maxes out on waterborne trade.
That is not a limit Seattle ought to place on itself.

Reading the coverage ...
Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com picks every game of the NFL season.
Houston Texans
It was just a preseason game, but based on what the Chargers did against the Bears, the Texans shouldn't have a lot to worry about in their opening weekend game at San Diego, says Randy Harvey of the Houston Chronicle.
Arian Foster signed with a film agency, says John McClain of the Chronicle.
Case Keenum won't have a different approach playing as the No. 2 quarterback in the second preseason game, says Brian T. Smith of the Chronicle.
Indianapolis Colts
Matt Hasselbeck is with the Colts to help mentor Andrew Luck, but more importantly he can keep the team in the playoff hunt if something happens to Andrew Luck, says Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star.
The front-liners will see more action in preseason game No. 2 against the Giants, says Chappell.
T.Y. Hilton has joined Twitter, says Emily Shamberger of the Star.

The Jaguars' approach makes it clear they want Blaine Gabbert to win the quarterback job, says Gene Frenette of the Florida Times-Union. "But like every carton of milk, non-elite quarterbacks have expiration dates on how long they get to truly be in the starting mix."
Gabbert hasn't won the job, but he's being given every opportunity to do so, says Hays Carlyon of the Times-Union.
Second-round safety Johnathan Cyprien is ready for his preseason debut, says Vito Stellino of the Times-Union.

Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean looks at the best and worst of Titans training camp so far.
"The Titans hope (Delanie) Walker might be able to start practicing in some capacity as early as next week, but he acknowledged there's a chance he will miss all four preseason games," writes Wyatt.
Mike Munchak gives Adam "Pacman" Jones credit for getting things together and surviving in the league, says Wyatt.

The relationship between trade union and equality and diversity training
The trade union members have fallen in the developed countries because of the decline in manufacturing. With the recent boom, people did not need to be members of the trade unions. As a result, the membership of the trade unions fell significantly. There are different roles of trade union. These are discussed as follows: The first and the most important is the ability of the trade unions to advice on problems at work. The second important role is to represent employees in discussions with their employers with main aim of improving the employee welfare. Besides, trade unions highly assist in fighting discrimination among the members of staff in different organizations. In the United States of America, the trade unions have played a major role in addressing equality and diversity training in both public and private organizations.
Why do trade unions involve themselves in matters of equality and diversity training?
It is recognized that trade unions embrace diversity and ensures that the rights of the weaker sex are well taken care of. For instance, women are more likely to express their inferiority complexes in organizations. As such, the trade unions are charged with the mandate of training women in organizations to ensure that they understand their rights and ensure that they are not discriminated. When a friend decided to search some of the trade unions in the U.S that deal with equality and diversity training, there were very few of them that can be mentioned. It is noted that there were no single question on equality and diversity training that can be answered and most of the websites have no information on equality and diversity training. There are different publications that teach on the importance of diversity and equality trainings in work place. Some of these publications explain on the role and the place of trade unions in the contemporary society.
Although the aspects of equality and diversity training are more pronounced in the corporate organizations, the concept has a wide application in the debt collection sector. Debt collection is an area that is affected by the changes and the drastic shift in the laws on equality. Therefore, there is a need to exercise all the safe working environment that includes the introduction of the policies that are against anti-harassment. The interaction of the society with diverse cultures ranges from races, regions as well as different backgrounds. The 2010 equity and diversity Act highly simplifies matters to a certain extent and provides complete systematic approach to combat the issues that range from gender to race.
Equality and Diversity Training and debt recovery services
Debt recovery services are exposed to changes that are associated with equality and diversity. As such, the society is obliged to remain compliant with the possible regulations that are enacted. In order to safeguard the team and those from whom we recover the monies, it is important to ensure that the individuals charged with the agency responsibility are completely keeping an abreast with the new acts and legislation. The public sector bodies are much obliged to ensure that transparency and other relevant information to the customers are provided. In the debt collection, equality and diversity training is accorded an opportunity and is more relied on. In most of the cases, there are front facing staff charged with the mandate of conducting home visits and fully comply with the changes in equality and diversity. Thus, the question of what is required of us to ensure equality and diversity in work place.
It is important to mention that the first step in undertaking equality and diversity training in workplace, there is the need to adjust to the new changes and well demonstrate understanding of the new changes in the equality and diversity laws that were enacted in 2010.

Thom Pertler, Carlton County attorney, had nearly empty bottle of vodka in car
According to WDIO, county officials are researching "what they can and cannot do about the incident being that Pertler is an elected official."
-- Thom Pertler, Carlton County Attorney, arrested for DUI months after drunk-teaching fiasco
-- Thom Pertler, Carlton County Attorney, quits teaching gig after showing up to class drunk
Today, details have emerged about the circumstances of Carlton County Attorney Thom Pertler's Tuesday afternoon DUI arrest.
According to the Duluth News Tribune, when he was pulled over around 12:30 that afternoon, Pertler had a nearly empty bottle of vodka under his seat. Officers asked him why he put it there, to which Pertler replied, "cause."
Pertler, who was in fact traveling southbound on Highway 61 toward Duluth in his gray 2010 Chevrolet sedan when he was pulled over, apparently had no idea where he was. From the Tribune:
Pertler told the trooper that he believed he was on Highway 53 and that he was going to Menards in Hermantown from his home in Cloquet to get paint. He also said that he thought he was going to Duluth from Duluth. When asked how much he had to drink that day, Pertler allegedly told the trooper "not as much as you think." The county attorney would not answer any other questions about his drinking, the trooper said.
Though Pertler resisted submitting to a breath exam -- he "provided 47 weak breaths of air and stopped blowing when the volume of air on the intoxilizer would go up," the Tribune reports -- a preliminary breath test revealed his blood-alcohol level to be 0.234, nearly three times the legal limit.
He's been charged with seven crimes, including refusal to submit to a chemical test, fourth-degree driving while impaired, speeding, driving over the center line, failure to signal, possession of an open bottle, and no proof of insurance. Pertler posted his $3,000 bail yesterday around 1 p.m. A secretary at his Carlton County office told reporters he wasn't in Wednesday afternoon.

South Dakota lawmakers reach deal on budget
PIERRE, S.D. South Dakota lawmakers voted mostly along party lines Tuesday to use a combination of spending cuts and one-time transfers from various accounts to balance next year's state budget.
The Legislature's Joint Appropriations Committee approved the spending plan after meeting for nearly eight hours. The Senate then passed the budget 20-14 and the House passed it 44-25 to end this year's legislative session around 11 p.m.
Members of the Republican majority voted to pass the spending measure after praising it as a fair way to balance the budget by making most state agencies share in cuts.
"We would all like to give more money to everybody, but we don't have it to give," said House Appropriations Chair Larry Tidemann, R-Brookings.
Democrats criticized the budget bill, arguing the cuts will hurt schools, cause tuition increases for university students and threaten services in facilities for developmentally disabled people.
"My frustration this year is probably the highest it's ever been," said Democratic Rep. Paul Dennert of Columbia, who has been on the Appropriations Committee for 14 years.
The Legislature had to fix an approximately $43 million gap between expected ongoing revenue and ongoing spending in the budget year that begins July 1. That's a relatively small portion of the total $1.2 billion portion of the budget that spends state general funds.
Senate Democratic Leader Scott Heidepriem of Sioux Falls said the Legislature missed a chance to trim state government.
"So the size of government does not go down. Essentially we shift some funds and call it a balanced budget," Heidepriem said.
Republicans said the cuts will help lawmakers a year from now deal with budget problems that are expected to be much worse.
"I think this is a tough budget for tough times," said Senate Republican Leader Dave Knudson of Sioux Falls.
The budget compromise was reached after Gov. Mike Rounds met Monday night with House Speaker Tim Rave and Senate President Pro Tem Bob Gray, who head the Joint Appropriations Committee.
"Nobody will be real happy with all of it," the Republican governor said. "At the same time, I think we accomplished the goal of passing a general bill for next year that will take care of basic needs."
Lawmakers accepted Rounds' recommendation, made in December, not to increase state aid to education or to give state employees a pay raise.
About $14 million was gained by reducing the size of tax refunds given to large construction projects, and an additional $6.4 million was saved by increased federal payments for people who are in both the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The Appropriations Committee on Tuesday approved $19 million in spending cuts and the one-time transfer of $3.6 million from various accounts to help pay for general fund spending.
One of the largest cuts was $4.3 million to be spread across the six state-run universities.
"This will mean higher tuition and fees than what we had planned," said Monte Kramer, vice president of administration for the Board of Regents, which runs the university system.
The panel also cut $1.4 million, or about half the increase the governor had recommended, for the state's four technical institutes. That also could cause an increase in student fees and could limit enrollment in some courses, lawmakers said.
Another $4.2 million in spending was cut from the Medicaid budget after state Social Services Secretary Deb Bowman said the number of new people signing up for the program has slowed in recent months. The federal government pays about two-thirds of the cost of the program, which covers the medical costs of poor people, with the state paying the other one-third.

Several times in the last few years we have discussed how honing certain selling skills can offer benefits to nearly all occupations and not just those in selling roles. For instance, in 2014, we noted how being strong in the one crucial skill, the art of persuasion, is not just for those who sell products and services. We went even further in 2015 suggesting most business people would benefit from learning selling skills through self-directed training methods or professional instruction.
Considering the value selling skills may offer, it seems surprising that the vast majority of American colleges and universities are not the best places to go to sharpen these skills. As discussed in this Harvard Business Review story, only a small number of U.S. schools offer dedicated sales education programs. While business programs at many colleges and universities offer a course or two in sales, very few have clearly defined sales programs consisting of many courses.
To the rest of the world, it must seem strange that America's four major professional sport leagues - Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Football League (NFL), the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Hockey League (NHL) - do not allow corporations to place sponsorship promotions on players' uniform. In nearly every other professional sports league around the world, uniforms are ladened with advertisements. Ads can even be found in other U.S. professional sports including NASCAR, professional golf (PGA and LPGA) and Major League Soccer. But not in the four major U.S. sports leagues.
The reason major U.S. sports teams have not accepted promotional message on their uniforms is not entirely clear, though there are several reasonable arguments against it. First, sports purest point to ads leading to questions about the integrity of the game. They believe the money spent by advertisers would not just be for promoting their product but would allow them to influence the teams wearing their ads. Second, advertisers whose logo is not on uniforms but who sponsor games by showing television advertisement during games may get upset. They may not like a close-up television image of a player being celebrated for a great play only to see the player has the advertiser's competitor on their jersey. Finally, players (and their sports agents) may have reservations with the ads on their jersey if they have endorsement deals with competitive products.
Throughout our Marketing Blog, we make mention of marketing's pivotal role in the introduction of new products, such as highly innovative new technologies. It is also important to note that the introduction of innovative products also has ramifications for marketing jobs. In general, when new a technology are introduced marketing employees in existing industries affected by the innovation can expect one of two outcomes: 1) the innovation forces marketers in existing roles to adapt by undertaking new learning or potentially face the unemployment line; or 2) the innovation creates entirely new marketing jobs that did not previously exist.

"Life is a dream and Art makes it a reality. Art is a vehicle for human evolution, which acts as a gateway between what was and what will be, bringing the ancestral fears and conquests to the surface of the minds of this digital age. My paintings are the interconnected pieces of a poem, woven with the yarn of our human experience. They tell the tale of who we are. I believe a deep intuitive understanding results and our dreams come through. We have to live in a chaotic world, when we all in fact, thrive in harmony. My paintings demonstrate that harmony pre-exists within the chaos itself."
Jeff Roland's Artist Statement
Stepping into Jeff Roland's Universe
by Dr Melissa Westbrook, PhD
[Français] [Россию] [Italiano] [Español] [Nederlands] [Deutsch] [Português]
"Jeff Roland creates bold, colourful pieces which reflect a constant desire to explore the human psyche.
Born in France in 1969, he has sold works to collectors in France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the UK, the USA, Norway, Canada ,Italy , etc, and his work is part of the London Museum of Everything Collection and the Barcelona Davis Museum collection .
Born in France in 1969, he has sold works to collectors in France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the UK, the USA, Norway, Canada ,Italy , etc, and his work is part of the London Museum of Everything Collection and the Barcelona Davis Museum collection .
Jeff Roland believes that his art, which emerges from the subconscious, should not be defined according to the expectations of the modern art world. Instead, it is a personal interaction between artist, canvas and viewer. A self-taught painter, Roland's work is characterised by his use of distinctive,tribal-like figures, a juxtaposition of opposing symbols and flattened backgrounds. His paintings fuse aspects of the raw style with contemporary literary and visual references. A number of key themes can be idenfied in Roland's paintings. These include belonging (as an artist and individual), interconnectedness and conformity. He is also fascinated by the creation of history. The consumption of one society by another appears repeatedly in his body of works.Roland's paintings stress that "civilization" is built on the fragments of older, arguably more primitive societies. This is used as a psychological metaphor where civilization acts as the rational conscious usurping the place of the more primitive subconscious thought.
The subconscious/conscious struggle depicted throughout Roland's work highlights another core aspect of his paintings. He constantly explores dualism and the individual's attempt to define his place within a world of opposing forces. The polarities embedded in his paintings take many forms and include light and dark, ignorance and knowledge, the invidual and the society, and the historical past (and its construction) and the present. His juxtaposition of primitive symbols- such as snakes and neolithic style figures - and contemporary symbols (including pop culture rabbits) - are a prominent example of this concern. These opposites, which affect both the artist and viewer, signify the constant pull of the conscious and subconscious on the individual.Jeff Roland's paintings are not limited to a dualistic world view. The artist firmly believes that between the two most extreme points there are many universes and infinite possibilities. As such, his works record the fluid transition from one state of being to another.

Coventry is believed to have been settled since the Bronze Age and while you're here, you can visit many ruins from vastly different time periods in history. There is a Roman fort, a Saxon nunnery and a few medieval sites amongst the 400 or so Heritage listed buildings. Unfortunately, many historically significant buildings were destroyed during WWII.Coventry has played an important role in innovation ever since the Middle Ages when it was famous for silk weaving and textile trade. After this, it was known for its clock and watch industry between the 17th and 19th centuries, then the invention of the first modern bicycle, followed by the production of Britain's first motor car and finally the engineering of the first British jet-powered aeroplane. Things to do
A great place to start your adventure is at St. Michael's Cathedral. The site of the cathedral has been a place of worship since 1043 but it has seen three separate cathedrals built upon it. The first went into disrepair after the 1539 dissolution of monasteries. The second was destroyed during World War II and the third was built shortly after the war.Check out Britain's largest collection of motor vehicles at the Heritage Motor Centre. Then learn about the huge role that this city played in the world's transport industry at the Coventry Transport Museum. History buffs may also be interested in visiting the Midland Air Museum, Coventry Watch Museum and Market Hall Museum. Culture vultures will love wandering around the BBC Coventry and Warwickshire Radio Station, as well as the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum. In the evening, you can enjoy a night out at the Belgrade or Criterion Theatre. Shopping and dining
Get your retail fix at the West Orchards and Lower Precinct shopping centres. Or grab a bargain at the indoor Coventry Market, open every day.There are restaurants, cafes and eateries to suit all palates and budgets, and the local nightlife is just as diverse. You can kick back in a funky contemporary bar or relax in a medieval tavern and there are lots of live music venues too. There's one local specialty that you must try before leaving: God Cake. God Cakes were invented in the 1300s and were given by godchildren to their godparents at the beginning of the year. They are triangular pastries filled with mincemeat and were originally created as a way to get rid of leftover mincemeat from Christmas. Now they are often eaten at Easter time and the three points on the pastry are believed to symbolise the holy trinity but you'll be able to find them in a local bakery anytime of the year. Getting here and around
Birmingham is about 20 minutes from Coventry, so grab a seat on one of these cheap flights to Birmingham. Once you've arrived, you can easily get around by bus, train or car.So wot are you waiting for? Book your flights and Coventry accommodation with us now and discover the history of the heart of England. Image from: Coventry Creative Commons

Sometimes it does this when I first start the car. I took it to my car repair man and let him have it for about a week and let him drive it and it didn't rev up on him. He also tried to hook it up to get a code and it didn't give one. PLEASE HELP!

RAWALPINDI, Oct 29: Compared to previous years, the city presented a neat and clean look during Eidul Azha's three holidays. The solid waste management team made adequate arrangements to lift animal waste and shift it to designated landfill sites.
One supposition is that less animals were slaughtered this year. The exact number of animals slaughtered during Eid was not available but the evidence can be found in the weighing of animal waste.
City district government Rawalpindi's (CDGR) solid waste management lifted 13,000 tonnes of offal and animal waste from 46 union councils, which is 7,000 tonnes less than last year.
"Mostly big animals were slaughtered on the occasion of Eid as reported by the 1,553 sanitary workers in the city," said Dr Mazhar Azeem, District Officer Solid Waste Management, while talking to Dawn.
He said the official head count of animals was not possible as the Punjab government had no contract with the cattle markets.
He said that last year, the workers lifted more than 20,000 tonnes of offal and animal waste and this year, they lifted approximately 13,000 tonnes.
He said that all animal waste had been lifted from different parts of the city and dumped in a landfill site in Losar.
He said that total 1,553 sanitary workers and 100 vehicles took part in the cleanliness operations during Eidul Azha.
He said that he had received many complaints which were addressed as soon as possible. The cleanliness operation finished after evening prayers on the third day of Eidul Azha.
When asked about the cleanliness at Jamia Masjid Road, where heaps of animal skins and hides were seen, he said that animal skins were collected by businessmen as it was the hub for such activity during Eid.
"The area would be cleared during the next two days, when businessmen dispatch the animal skins to factories in Lahore, Faisalabad and other cities," he assured.
The residents of the garrison city expressed satisfaction over the sanitation condition during Eid days and asked the government to make such arrangements throughout the year for a better environment.
Israr Ahmed, a resident of Mohanpura, said that he had observed the roadsides to be clean, despite many animals slaughtered during Eid days. "The credit goes to the people who called the sanitary workers and gave them meat for lifting waste in front of their doors," he said.
Muhammad Jameel, a resident of Nayya Mohallah, said that the sanitary workers lifted the waste from the roadsides. "If the sanitation departments worked like this whole year round, then there would be no untidiness in the city," he said.

Add this one to the Kinect files – another creative use of the 3D sensor.
The Sonos Studio in LA is currently hosting an exhibition titled "Missing" in collaboration with The xx, media producer Aramique Krauthamer, media artist Kyle McDonald and engineer Matt Mets. The exhibition features 50 robotic Sonos PLAY:3's that follow the movement of visitors as they pass through the space. How do the players follow the guests? You guessed it, with Kinect.
Each speaker is suspended from the rig and incorporates a small motor and circuit board to enable movement. Two Kinect's are mounted in the upper corners and the depth data of they space the sensors gather enables direction of the PLAY3 to have the music 'follow' guests around. Notcot has some great images including the hardware setup and 3D map of the space.
Sonos says the result is a moment of 'unexpected coexistence between man, sound and machine'. I need to hear it to verify that claim….LAX here I come.

Bipartisan medical marijuana bill to be introduced today at Capitol
Rep. Carly Melin, D-Hibbing (left) and Sen. Scott Dibble, D-Minneapolis (right), are the lead authors of the bill.
Image by Tatiana Craine
Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle will introduce companion bills to legalize medical marijuana today at the Capitol.
SEE ALSO: MNGOP spent $10,500 on study that supports legalizing medical marijuana
According to a press release distributed by the pro-marijuana law reform group Minnesotans for Compassionate Care, the bills have the maximum numbers of sponsors in each chamber -- 35 in the House and five in the Senate.
Polling conduced by Public Policy Polling in March showed that 65 percent of Minnesotans support "allowing doctors to prescribe small amounts of marijuana for patients suffering from serious illnesses."
Back in 2009, the Legislature approved a medical marijuana bill only to see it vetoed by then-Gov. Tim "bong water is a controlled substance" Pawlenty. But Governor Dayton is no fan of medical ganj either. Asked about the issue last December, Dayton said, "I don't think we need another drug operating in our society."
In March, Heather Azzi, political director of Minnesotans for Compassionate Care, said that while she expected a medical marijuana bill to be introduced this session, she doesn't foresee it progressing through legislative committees quite yet. Indeed, Politics in Minnesota reports that "policy deadlines have long since passed," but by introducing it this year, medical marijuana backers will position their bill to be ready for discussion next session.

Deep thoughts
The kids and I went to our monthly API meeting this morning, then met up with Jody (since he works only a couple blocks from where our meetings are held) to go to lunch. While we were driving I said to Jody half-jokingly, "I need a haircut. I don't like myself right now." To which he replied, "It sounds like you also need some counseling." :oP As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I thought, "What am I saying? What kind of statement is that to make in front of my kids?" Yes, it's true that I am frustrated with my hairRead More →

Dorway takes to the ring tomorrow night
—Caribbean Contender Boxing Series
Gladwin 'The Tiger' Dorway will be the second local pugilist to take the ring when the Wray and Nephew Caribbean Contender Boxing Series continues tomorrow night in Jamaica.
Dorway will match gloves with Jamaican, Richard 'Frog' Holmes in a six-round contest at the Chinese Benevolent Centre on Hope Road in Kingston.
Bell time is scheduled for 21:30.
The bouts were decided after the host succeeded in the first round of activities which included a bag race, egg and spoon and a three-legged race.
After gaining the upper hand in the challenges, the eight-man Jamaican (Team Yellow), chose Sakima Mullings to open their campaign and subsequently chose former national lightweight champion, Lake (Team Green) to be his opponent followed by Dorway versus Holmes.
The green team comprises four Guyanese boxers (Howard Eastman, Derrick Richmond, Dorway and Lake), two Barbadians, a Trinidadian and an Antiguan.
At the conclusion of the welterweight tournament, the top boxer will pocket an appetizing $J2M.
The runner-up will pocket $500,000 with third place $250,000 and fourth place $200,000.
In the first encounter of the series last Wednesday, Mullings stopped Lake in the fourth round to move one step closer to the lucrative purse.
