Millis key in win over S.C. legislators
Published: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 11:17 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 11:17 a.m.
RALEIGH | A deep bench and powerful inside presence under the basket gave North Carolina lawmakers the advantage they needed to make a second half run and beat a squad of South Carolina legislators 35-27 in a charity game Wednesday.
With the win at Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh, North Carolina reclaimed the trophy from its southern rival and extended its series lead to 11-6 in an on-again, off-again competition that dates to 1979.
The 6-foot, 5-inch center Rep. Chris Millis, a Hampstead Republican, scored big points for the bipartisan N.C. General Assembly team and swatted a few big South Carolina shots, easily winning the crowd's MVP nod. "Everybody played hard," he said, sounding just like a professional athlete. "It was a team win."
Gov. Pat McCrory made an appearance in the second half, playing good minutes but clanked two free throws late in the game. "I've never been so nervous in my life," McCrory said at the line.
The North Carolina team entered to Queen's "We Will Rock You" and drew a crowd of about 150 lawmakers, lobbyists, staffers and family. The event raised nearly $600 and a barrel of food for the state's food banks.

Western Technical College to host Camp W-Kid's College
Published on Wednesday, March 04, 2009
Western Technical College will be hosting the spring session of Camp W-Kid's College on Saturday, April 25, from 8:15 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at Western's La Crosse Campus.
Twice each year (fall and spring), the college hosts Camp W, a youth enrichment program designed for area children in grades 4-6. Western faculty and staff volunteer their time and talents to give area children the opportunity to explore special interests in a unique educational setting and to see what the college is all about.
Courses can include everything from building toolboxes to maneuvering around in wheelchairs, making beaded work to taking pictures, or just clowning around. And while some of the classes correlate to an academic program offered at the college, some are designed just for fun. Students can choose up to three of the 19 different classes to attend throughout the morning.
To register, each participant must complete a Camp W form online at www.westerntc.edu/campw. Classes fill quickly, so early registration is encouraged.
Completed on-line registration forms and registration fees ($24 for three classes) must be turned in by Friday, April 3 to the Western Technical College Foundation Office located on the third floor of the Western's Administration Building on the corner of Seventh and Main Streets in La Crosse, or mailed to 400 7th St. N., P.O. Box 908, La Crosse, WI 54602-0908. All checks should be made payable to Camp W.
For more information on Camp W, please contact Jaime Fortier at 608.785.9487. To learn more about other Western Technical College programs and services, call 608.785.9200 or visit the Web site at westerntc.edu.

Want to kickstart a healthier you? Try this 3-day anti-inflammatory cleanse from Lyn-Genet Recitas, director of nutrition at Neighborhood Holistic, a nonprofit health center in New York City. Three simple rules: Avoid added salt, drink plenty of water (calculate how much you need here) and if no amounts are listed for a specific ingredient below, you may eat as much as you'd like. Average weight loss on a plan like this? Nearly five pounds, says Recitas. But The Plan here.
1 cup OAT-FREE granola (second choice: rice-based cereal) and 1 cup berries
20-oz smoothie (Blend 1 pear, 1 cup berries, ice and liquid. Top with 2 Tbsp chia seeds.)
Note: Columbia County Flax Granola is great for relieving chronic constipation. Also, for cereal or smoothie you may use a Rice Dream beverage or So Delicious Coconut Milk.
Carrot ginger soup (recipe below)
Mesclun-mix salad (mesclun, ¼ cup low-sodium chickpeas, cucumber, ½ ounce sunflower seeds and ¼ avocado) with lime agave or lemon oil vinaigrette (recipes below)
1 cup watermelon
1 head Swiss chard, 2 carrots, 1 onion, 1 zucchini, 2 heads broccoli and 4 shiitake mushrooms in spicy coco sauce (recipe below)
Carrot and beet salad (Grate 4 carrots and 1 small beet and you will have 3-4 servings of a salad) with lime agave or lemon oil vinaigrette
Steamed broccoli with extra-virgin olive oil
Note: Shiitake mushrooms help with immune function. Do not substitute regular mushrooms, which are more reactive and avoid all mushrooms if you have yeast infections.
Cereal (as above) or smoothie
Leftover chard
1 cup brown or basmati rice with ½ oz pumpkin seeds
1 apple
4-6 Brazil nuts
Warm kale salad (see below)
Carrot ginger soup
1 cup steamed snow peas with extra virgin olive oil and orange zest
Cereal (as above) or smoothie
Mixed green salad (Mixed greens with 1/2 cup low-sodium chickpeas, cucumber, leftover snow peas, ¼ avocado) with lime agave or lemon oil vinaigrette
2 rye crackers with 1 oz cheese (sheep's milk or goat)
Apple and 8-10 almonds
Chicken with spicy apricot glaze (recipe below)
Grated raw beet and carrot salad (see above)
Sautéed zucchini with onion, basil and lemon zest
Carrot Ginger Soup
1 .5 liters water
1.5 lbs carrots
1 zucchini
1 onion
2-3 cloves garlic
Raw ginger, cinnamon, cumin, onion powder and black pepper to taste
Chop all ingredients. Add water and simmer for 30 min. Puree the mixture.
(For thicker soup use ½ liter water)
Lime Agave Vinaigrette
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 cup water
1 Tbsp Herbes de Provence
1 Tbsp agave nectar or honey
Lemon Zest Vinaigrette
Zest from 2 medium-sized lemons or 1 small orange
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1-2 garlic cloves (mashed)
Herbs of your choice (I like Herbes de Provence)
Optional: mustard
Steep the zest in the olive oil for at least one day before making vinaigrette, preferably 4-5 days. Mix in balsamic vinegar, garlic and herbs. Will keep for one week. While mustard is a nice addition, it is high on reactive list and must be tested first.
Quick Spicy Coco Sauce
1 can coconut milk (Do not use low fat.)
Ginger, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, garlic, onion, black pepper and cayenne—all to taste
½ tsp salt
1 heaping Tbsp brown sugar
Sauté the spices. Add salt and brown sugar. Reduce for 20 min. Will hold for 5 days or you can freeze the remainder. Portion is 1/8t cup per serving.
Warm Kale salad
2 cups kale
Extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil
Carrot and beet salad (see above)
¼ avocado
red onion
1 oz goat or sheep's milk cheese
Sauté kale oil for 1-2 min. Season as you'd like (Ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne, cumin, cloves, and black better aid digestion. Rosemary and oregano are wonderful, too.) Top with remaining ingredients.
Spicy Apricot Glaze
½ cup apricot jam
¼ - ½ cup water
1 Tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or 2 tsp smoked chipotle powder (less sodium)

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Three motorcyclists killed in a crash that injured another rider on a key Alaska highway north of Anchorage have been identified.
Alaska State Troopers spokesman Tim DeSpain says four motorcyclists struck a vehicle on the Glenn Highway that had been pushed into their lane Saturday night.
Three were pronounced dead at the scene. Troopers identified them as 53-year-old James Carlyle, 48-year-old Sabrina Carlyle, and 63-year-old Elaine Loew. The relationship between the riders wasn't immediately known.
The injured motorcyclist was hospitalized, but condition information wasn't immediately available.
DeSpain says the crash occurred when a Ford F-250 stopped to make a turn but was rear-ended by a Chevrolet van and pushed into the oncoming lane. All four oncoming motorcyclists then collided with the truck. No one else was seriously hurt.

The Price is Right
Richard Bowman leads the three-stage process with a preheater, which heats the asphalt to 360° F. Photos: City of Akron, Ohio
Project Supervisor Bernard Varner and Highway Maintenance Superintendent Steve Batdorf examine the machines that were custom-built and delivered to Akron in June 2009. The bureau began using the system by the end of the month.
Representatives of AFSCME Local 1360 were willing to work with the bureau, agreeing to select current employees who were interested in being involved in the new venture.
The approach to traditional resurfacing in Akron, Ohio, is not unlike most cities: It advertises for bid annually a 2½-inch mill and full resurfacing project that includes residential, collector, and arterial streets. The program normally is $4 million to $6 million annually, but the rising cost of asphalt has had an adverse affect on the process. The program has been shrinking in recent years to accommodate the higher costs, which increased nearly 30% in just the past two years.
So in 2008 the Akron Bureau of Public Works reduced its specification of 2½-inch of removal and replacement by 1 inch, stretching the bureau's resurfacing dollars and enabling it to resurface 50 miles of roadway last year — double that of previous years.
Costs continued to rise in 2009 for mill-and-fill resurfacing projects, and the bureau decided to bid out the asphalt reheat/recycling process.
The bureau chose a process that recycles asphalt by first cutting the material by lifting, rolling, and feeding it into a center mill before feeding it into an onboard asphalt-mixing plant, where it injects a specified amount of emulsion into the mix. The asphalt is then fed into a paver. Other asphalt recycling methods, such as cold-in-place and hot-in-place, scarify or rake the asphalt and mix it with new material before rolling it back into the street. Typically those methods require covering the product with additional virgin materials. This process is utilized as a final surface.
"We had discovered the asphalt reheat process five years ago when we bid out the heating and scarifying process," says Steve Batdorf, the city's highway superintendent.
During that bidding process, Angelo Benedetti Inc. (ABI) bid an alternate process that provided for recycling the existing asphalt and relaying it. The bid came in low at $4/square yard back in 2004, and the city began experimenting with the new recycling process on 100,000 square yards, or nine center line miles across the city.
"We were satisfied with the results and continued to bid the process the next few years," explains Kevin Miller, resurfacing supervisor. "The process held up as well as the regular mill-and-fill resurfacing process with heavy traffic loads and comparable cracking."
The bureau hoped to continue in 2008, but ABI had shifted from contracting to the manufacturing of the asphalt recycling equipment. In June 2008 owner Al Benedetti, Deputy Public Works Manager Joseph Asher, and Batdorf began discussing the benefits of purchasing the asphalt recycling equipment for the city itself.
By November 2008 the city had signed a contract to purchase the asphalt recycling equipment. It consists of a preheater and 40-foot mobile asphalt plant as well as a paver (which reheats it to maintain a workable temperature and then cuts into the specified depth). The machine feeds the material into a grinder that subsequently feeds it into the drum mixer, where emulsions are added to rejuvenate the asphalt. Finally, the paving screed provides a paving matt for the last step in the process, just as traditional pavers would.
The city decided to purchase the equipment in light of potential savings to the city as well as the ability to resurface more streets. "The return on this investment is strong," Batdorf explains.
Although other Ohio agencies — including the Ohio DOT, the city of Lakewood, and Lake County—have contracted with ABI to provide the service, Akron is the first city nationwide to purchase the equipment and perform the work with its own city employees.
The purchase of the equipment dovetails with Mayor Donald Plusquellic's new initiative to create a "Greenprint" for Akron, part of a commitment signed by 916 mayors across the country titled the "Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement."
The complete asphalt recycling system costs the city nearly $2 million. "We expect to save $7 million over the next 10 years using this process," Batdorf says. The system was funded by the city's capital budget as a part of the regular resurfacing program. The bureau plans to reconstruct about 450,000 square yards during the first two years. "According to our projections, we will achieve a complete return on investment in that time."
Making this purchase took some convincing, though. Service Director Richard Merolla, Deputy Service Directors John Valle and Ron Williamson, and Public Works Manager Paul Barnett were concerned about city crews performing work that historically had been contracted out. Among other concerns were quality and productivity.
The bureau negotiated a minimum of 30 days of training from ABI and a one-year warranty on the equipment. Other concerns included union rules and regulations that could hamper productivity and potential success.
The new process provides eight jobs. "If we would not have brought this process in-house we may have lost eight positions to the most recent layoffs that occurred in the city," Batdorf adds.
So far the new process has worked. In the first month alone crews averaged 1,400 square yards/day. By the end of the second month productivity increased 55%, with the daily average rising to 2,100 square yards, and Barnett expects the average to reach 2,250 square yards daily by the end of this season.
The equipment is expected to last a minimum of 10 years — saving the city more than $7 million and allowing personnel to pave more streets than through traditional methods.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cruland617 I love my new bedding! I love this bed set, it's super soft and comfortable and all the colors are really vibrant. The only down fall is sometimes the buttons come undone on the duvet. I recommend this product to everyone! September 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sammie12 I love this duvet cover! This duvet is beautiful. The colors are bright but also make sense together, its not TOO bright I have gotten compliments on it already from friends, and even my boyfriend loves the pattern. The material is great, high quality and adds to the overall comfort of the bed. Easy to take on and off to wash. What more can you ask for in a duvet cover? I am very happy with my purchase.

M&Ms has some special holiday flavors in stores this year. The first one is the Mint M&M and it's easy to spot it's green package on store shelves. The package sport Green in a snow globe with snowflakes and then pictures of the M&M candies besides her. It's fitting that Green represents the Mint M&Ms, especially since she was on the original wrappers back when Mint M&Ms made an appearance as a limited edition Mint Crisp flavor for the new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls movie.
The mint M&Ms are beautifully festive in red, green and white colors. The size of the M&Ms vary a lot here. There's some smaller ones and a few that are very large. That makes reaching your hand in the bag pretty fun ad you can feel the different sizes, all smooth and delightful feeling like candy pebbles.
So how do they taste? So very, very good. These have a wonderful crunch when you bite down on them from the candy shell, and you immediately taste the wonderful minty flavor that's extremely refreshing. The chocolate adds just the right amount of sweetness too. Just as you finish the first one you find your hand reaching in the bag for another. And another. And another.
These are not only festive looking but festive tasting as well. I can't get enough of this flavor and I highly recommend these to anyone who's a mint/peppermint fan or an M&M fan.

TEMPE, Ariz. -In the first match of a two-match weekend, the No. 21 Arizona State women's tennis team (15-4, 5-3 Pac-12) fell to the No. 11 Golden Bears of California by a score of 6-1, Friday, at the Whiteman Tennis Center in Tempe, Ariz.
"I think it's a little déjà vu for the last couple matches," said head coach Sheila McInerney. "We have a lot respect for Cal but I thought we could have put up a better fight at home. I think it's a little déjà vu for the last couple matches. We have a lot respect for Cal but I thought we could have put up a better fight at home."
Freshman Ebony Panoho won the lone point for the Sun Devils handily defeating Cal's Annie Goranssen, 6-3, 6-3. Sophomore Joanna Smith also battled tooth and nail with Golden Bear Tayler Davis playing 7-6 (9), 2-6 (10-3) before the match was called.
"I thought Joanna and Ebony played quite well on their courts," said McInerney. "This is young group that haven't had the success against the better teams. We just have to get over the hump. We didn't do that today."
The Sun Devils compete against No. 13 Stanford, tomorrow, at Noon PT back at the Whiteman Tennis Center. Please be advised of road closures on Saturday due to the USA Triathlon Collegiate National Championship and extra traffic due to Football Fan Fest.
"We're certainly going to have to play better than we have today. I just want us to be competitive and play tooth and nail with Stanford tomorrow. Forget about winning and losing and go out and play enough tennis."

1. San Francisco Museum of Modern Art: Call for Proposals: Visual Activism Symposium in San Francisco, March 14–16, 2014 www.sfmoma.org (Deadline for proposals: October 1st)
The International Association of Visual Culture (IAVC) invites proposals for its third biennial symposium in San Francisco on March 14 to 16, 2014.The symposium will be an international gathering centered on the concept of visual activism. It will explore the relationships between visual culture and activist practices across a wide range of contexts. Through varied and diverse modes of image-making, artists and designers may create and manipulate tools of social change. Likewise, political activists may utilize visual strategies and objects in order to confront and address social and political issues. Art can take the form of political and social activism, and activism often takes on specific, and sometimes surprising, visual forms that are not always aligned with or recognizable by art-world frameworks. During the convening, artists, cultural producers, scholars, students, critics, organizers, activists, and citizens will engage with and offer perspectives on the many questions that arise: to what degree do forms of visual activism travel? In what ways are they necessarily grounded in geographically specific spaces and locally specific knowledge? How can theorists, scholars, and practitioners engage in conversations about abstract or oblique visual activism, such as those produced in conditions of extreme censorship? How can the complexity of governmental or commercial visual activism be approached to better address hegemonies of visual culture? How does the past become a form of visual activism in the present?Proposals should respond to these questions or related topics and may take the form of papers (20 minutes), artist talks (20 minutes), short performances (five to 30 minutes), or lighting-round interventions (five minutes). Limited funds are available to support travel. Proposals should include a 400-word abstract, links to websites with additional publications or relevant images and information, and a CV. Please send proposals to email@example.com (with" Visual Activism" as the subject line) no later than October 1, 2013. For further information about the International Association of Visual Culture, or to join the IAVC, please follow this link.

Please see details below about important dates, application fees, eligibility, and process. Electronic submissions only: sfaicalls.slideroom.com Fellowship dates: August 25–December 5, 2014 SanFrancisco Art Institute located at 800 Chestnut Street, San Francisco, CA 94133. For more information follow this link.
John E. Sawyer Seminar on the topic of "Political Will†: Deadline for applications is December 16, 2013.Â
The notion of "political will†is at the heart of debates about the meaning and character of political life. It informs definitions of sovereignty, whether the popular consent of the "people†or other forms of authority. It is an idea that works to legitimize the juridical order and systems of law, in particular the legal form of the constitution. And it is implicit to definitions of democracy and cosmopolitanism alike. Yet despite its centrality, the concept of political will has remained relatively unanalyzed within political theory.
This Sawyer Seminar aims to study the topic of political will from a range of disciplinary angles, theoretical approaches, and cultural perspectives. In so doing, we hope to pose a series of questions about political will. First, how is political will genealogically related to correlative constructs, such as jurisdiction, liberalism, and governmentality, and how might a focus on political will shed new light on those terms? Second, how might one historicize and lend contextual specificity to conceptions of political will? What insights into the nature of political will can be gained from a comparative, cross-cultural analysis? Third, what role do culture, aesthetics, and desire play in forging and sustaining political will? Is it generated in the imagination and/or affective, materially grounded practices; or it is better explained as an abstract concept governed by the operations of reason? Fourth, what particular contributions do varying theoretical frameworks (deconstruction, psychoanalysis, Marxism, biopolitics, affect theory, postcolonial studies) offer to an account of political will?
While political will is a category that informs nearly all aspects of political existence, this Seminar will devote particular attention to analyzing four sub-topics related to political will: sovereignty and biopolitics, cosmopolitanism, democracy, and constitutionalism. In addition, we expect that many of our conversations will be oriented around questions of aesthetics and the imagination, thus investigating both the cultural and affective attributes of political will?
The Mellon Foundation will sponsor one postdoctoral teaching-research fellowship in the humanities, awarded for the one-year period beginning July 2014. The fellowship offers a stipend of $45,000/year. While in residence at Cornell, the Mellon Fellow will hold a department affiliation in one of the humanities departments, participate in all activities associated with the Sawyer Seminar on "Political Will,†have limited teaching duties, and have the opportunity for scholarly work. More information here.
Eligibility Requirements
Applicants for the Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship on "Political Will†for the 2014/15 academic year must have received the Ph.D. degree after September 2008, and must be working on topics related to the theme of "Political Will." Mellon Fellowships are open to international applicants. Applicants who will have received the Ph.D. degree by June 30, 2014 are eligible. Applicants who do not have the Ph.D. in hand at the time of application must include a letter from the committee chair or department stating that the Ph.D. degree will be conferred before the term of the fellowship begins.

What is Cougar Cents? Why are you giving UH students piggy banks?
It's about saving today and giving back tomorrow. And it's a fun reminder that every gift (even spare change) does add up to make a difference. At UH, every contribution has a meaningful impact for students. If each person in last year's graduating class donated $50, fifteen students could receive an entire year of education! And that's just one graduation class. Imagine what difference your graduating class can make!
Last year, thousands of alumni gave more than $4,400,000 to UH! $4 Million is a big help to students - like you! Yes, tuition is expensive and, unfortunately, keeps going up. Still, it's not as high as it could be if alumni and friends didn't choose to support the University of Houston each year.
How do I care for my Cougar Cents pig?
- Fill it with your loose change, dollar bills or even checks!
- Watch your email for the latest information, events and contests.
- Follow @UHPhil on Twitter and watch your email for the latest information, events and contests.
- 'Like' Phil on Facebook and share your pig adventures with your classmates, get info on pig parties and more.
Are you telling me I take my pig to campus events?
Sure! There will be Philanthro-PIG drops during each semester, where you can come by to deposit to your Class gift account out of what you've saved so far. Gifts collected will help current UH students through scholarships, library resources or student success programs. You'll be surprised at how a little can go a long way!
Besides, the pig has already become a popular persona on campus and will be attending events as well. Dress 'em up. Decorate 'em for the holidays. Just so long as we see you there!
Shouldn't this pig have a name?
We thought so. Phil Philanthro-PIG is the official student philanthropy mascot. Get it? Phil (or fill) the pig. Keep track of Phil by liking his Official Facebook page!
What does caring for a Cougar Cents pig do for ME?
Besides being a cool keepsake, Cougar Cents makes it easy and painless to give a little something back - in a feel good, philanthropic way to your soon-to-be alma mater. It kicks off your experience as a UH alum, a bond that you will have forever. Saving can be a challenge. But Cougar Cents is an opportunity to be an active participant in your campus community ...something that is bigger than all of us, the great university that is University of Houston!
Get involved - student philanthropy is thriving at UH. Last semester, 723 seniors participated in gift initiatives around graduation, raising over $7,000 for UH. Join your classmates in literally leaving your mark on campus through participation in the Cougar Cents campaign!
So, don't sweat it...give a little!

|Barone WAC's best in 2012-13
DENVER - Kyle Barone can add Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year to the resume he has been building throughout his four-year career on the Idaho men's basketball team, as the 6-foot-10 senior was voted the league's best by the 10 head coaches, the WAC announced today.
Barone led the WAC in both scoring and rebounding with 18.2 points and 10.9 rebounds per game in WAC games. He was second in the league with a 58.3 field goal percentage, fourth with an 80.9 free throw percentage, and eighth with 1.1 blocks per game. He is the first Idaho player to earn WAC Player of the Year honors.
The center from Garden Grove, Calif., scored a career-high 27 points twice in 2012-13, racked up 16 double-doubles, scored 20 or more points nine times and had 20-point, 10-rebound efforts on eight occasions. His 59.0 field goal percentage for the season is the eighth-best single-season total in school history, and his 155 free throws made entering next week's WAC tournament are the fourth-most.
Barone has never missed a game in his four-year career, and is Idaho's career-leader with 125 games played. His 1,414 career points rank fourth in program history, his 864 career rebounds rank second, just 13 shy of all-time leader Deon Watson.
Barone, a two-time WAC Player of the Week in 2012-13, was also a first-team All-WAC pick and was the only Idaho player selected to the All-WAC teams. He was a second-team All-WAC selection in 2011-12 and an All-WAC honorable mention in 2010-11.
Joining Barone on the first-team All-WAC are Denver's Chris Udofia, New Mexico State's Bandja Sy and Raheem Appleby and Kenneth Smith from Louisiana Tech.
This year's all-WAC second team consists of Denver's Chase Hallam, New Mexico State's Daniel Mullings, Texas State's Joel Wright and Utah State's Spencer Butterfield and Jarred Shaw.

Single speed/Fixed gear riding in Boulder part I
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
This last year I sold my fixed gear to a guy who nearly killed himself while test riding it. DUDE, its a fixed gear bike! This will be the first season in about 15 years where I didn't train on a fixie during the early season. I recommend every serious cyclist try fix gear riding for at least a month in the pre season and see what you think. For me, I like fixed gear riding because...
- Cheap bike, fewer parts. I never clean it, except once in the summer. You never need to, just keep the chain lubed and you are good to go. Especially nice when the roads are so bad out.
- Stay Warmer. I rode a 42x16 which under normal winds and road conditions meant you were really spinning at a slower speed than you would normally be going on the road. That effort would produce greater efforts at slower speeds, hence staying warmer.
- Improve/Increase pedal cadence. Over the season most riders tend to push a bigger gear so hoping on the fixie can help reverse that trend. I typically road at around 100-110 rpm.
- Good throttle for LSD ridesChances are you will be less temped to "hammer" if you are on a fixe unless you like riding at 150rpm.
- Fun. Ya, I can't explain that one.
So this year I'm trying out a single speed free wheeler, SSCX to be exact. Most of my riding will most likely be on gravel roads and light trails, should be interesting, so far my one ride was not at all what I was expecting but I'll give it time.

From our July 1 issue: Three-Dimensional...
As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Baxter and Takeda Pharmaceutical inked a development, license, and technology transfer agreement that gives the latter an exclusive license to Baxter's Vero cell culture-based influenza vaccine technology for the Japanese market.
The deal builds on a previous collaboration centered on bringing the Vero technology into Japan, and will involve the firms working jointly to develop and obtain marketing approval of an H5N1 vaccine. The manufacturing process for the Vero vaccine will also be transferred to Takeda, with a view to the firm being able to manufacture the H5N1 vaccine at commercial scale by the end of Q1 2014. In return, Takeda will make up-front cash payments to Baxter and pay the firm development cost reimbursements along with development, technology transfer, regulatory, and commercial milestones, plus sales royalties.
Baxter will, in addition, help Takeda seek funding from the Japanese government for the construction of a Vero cell-based flu manufacturing facility. The firm was previously awarded up to ¥ 3.6 billion from the Japanese government as part of its program to support the development of pandemic influenza vaccines. The deal with Baxter means Takeda will now apply for a second award under the government's subsidy for establishing commercial facilities for vaccine production.
"The agreement with Takeda is an important milestone in extending the field of cell culture-based vaccine development and production," remarks Robert L. Parkinson Jr., chairman and CEO at Baxter. "We believe our joint efforts will help support Japan's public health efforts, particularly in the high priority area of pandemic preparedness."
Baxter's Vero cell technology uses a well-established mammalian cell line that has been cleared by the regulatory authorities in the U.S. and Europe for the production of human vaccines. The firm claims that in contrast to the use of embryonated chicken eggs, the Vero cell-based manufacturing uses a highly standardized, antibiotic-free closed production process. The Vero cell line can, in addition, be grown and infected on microcarrier beads and cultivated in fermenters for large-scale vaccine production.

What to make of an 18-game schedule
The owners want to make more money and are in favor of expanding the number of games. The players realize it means more wear and tear on them.
And interestingly, Goodell has said he won't start the NFL season before labor day; and the only logical conclusion is that the SuperBowl would have to be around President's Day Weekend (mid Feb) - an idea I heard from one NFL executive.
So, here's what I would consider:
* Expand the roster of players to at least 65 players, thus making up for more wear and tear
* Change the injury rules to be more like baseball's DL, where a player is unavailable for a finite amount of time, with limits. So maybe you can have one player who can miss 4 weeks; two can miss 6 weeks, and 4 can miss 8 weeks. And in the time they're inactive, you can sign someone to take the roster spot.
* Give each team two byes, so the schedule is 20 weeks. Spread them in a way, so that maybe half the teams get week 7 & 14, and the others get weeks 6 & 13, so there's no clear advantage to anyone and you have football every week.
And here's where I think things get interesting. You have your two "scrimmages" (a/k/a preseason games) to tune up the team. But the first two games of the season can be used to do some evaluation as well. You allow for a larger roster with a cutdown before week 3. Teams might want to play some of these guys in the games, and I would wager that some coaches might develop a strategy to play more of the younger guys in these first couple of games to prevent injuries. The games still count, but coaches have to make smart choices about how deep to play some players with an eye on winning. And if they did play some of their vets later, it may cost them later in the season.
That's my two cents. It would make for a better product, certainly.
7 comments
They should cut preseason games to two and keep the 16 week schedule. Either that or don't change a thing. An 18 week schedule is a terrible idea. Who cares if no one comes to preseason games. Lower your darn ticket prices if thats the case. This is like cutting off the head to save the body. An absolutely terrible idea.
the last full paragraph and sentence (basically a bunch of justification as to how/why a partially inferior product can not only work, but be better?)is all I need to know this is a bad idea aimed strictly at making more money with blatant disregard to its many negatives.
your bullets almost sound resigned to the fact that more injuries will happen, and seek to minimize the impact rather than prevent them (because they cannot be prevented, and ultimately the cumulative toll would be that much greater in the end even with these measures). I love to watch football, and in a vacuum, the idea of two extra weeks of real games sounds great, but the price is too high. I dont want more and more players with careers cut short, or a Super Bowl featuring the practice squads of two teams that were pretty great until bodies started dropping around the wildcard round.
and please no double bye. I remember 1993, and there is a reason why they only did it once. The span of double thin weeks were pretty barren of interesting games. Though your proposal would end the bye stretch more quickly those 4, 8 game weeks would suffer a ratings hit that might not counteract the extra revenue of an extra week overall (see I catch on quick...attack the bottom line if you really want results)
There are clearly no easy answers here. But great thoughts! Keep 'em coming.
More football that counts the better- I love 18 games. Up the number of players on the roster and cut preseason to 2 games. If your team is not ready to go after training camp, your bad! I like the idea of a small roster cut down after week three as well. Could make for some interesting trade scenarios, waiver wire pickups etc.
It all boils down to the owners want more money. there are 20 games with regular season and pre. the owners have 10 home games, so they want revenue for those games plus the tv revenue. if the problem is cutting 2 preseason games, than do it, stop talking about and do it, devide the cost of the 1 lost home game into the rest of the seasons tickets, say you have to buy 10 games at 100 a piece, thats 1000, so now you have 1 less preseason game but you will still pay 1000 for the 9 games at 111.11 a piece, nfl could charge more for the networks and they will follow what they say. the idea about not starting before labor day is a bunch of Crap, Gooddell is a BUM! im 32 I remember when football always started labor day weekend or the week before, and tevery team had 2 bye weeks, bring that back! are the networks really affraid that no one will watch kickoff weekend, if people do travel im sure where ever they go, they will watch the game they want to. Its a holiday weekend just like Christmas but they dont skip that week, theres always a game on that day as long as its not a tuesday or wednsday. keep the SB where it is along with the bye before the game, keep the pro bowl in Hawaii the week after the SB. Its obvious that the nfl isnt listnening to the fans or players, just the greedy owners. how about 2 more teams and another round of playoffs. i say dont mess with it at all for next year, really think about it listen to the fans and players, im against 18 games, records will be tainted youll have a 2000 yard rusher every other year or 2 in a year perhaps. passing records will go out the door. So i say keep 16 games the way it is, The only good that would come of 18 games is that the 72 fins record would probably never be broken
On the topic of not starting before labor day: that was a staple until the late 1990s. The NFL always started a week or two before labor day - and the Dolphins used to own the best record at home in AUGUST and September!
yeah now from what i remember, they started later to avoid college opening day, again screw that! hello, were talking about thursday night kickoff, and sunday games, not saturday when college games start, but yeah yeah there are a few night games to when college starts, but you got bowl games going on during the regular season too!which really if your a fan of the team then youll stay up late but hello its still the middle of the week, Saturday night game would be better, and the game will allways be a rematch of the superbowl! how about that, not just the SB winner but both teams oh yeah! How about moving up the start of the season to MD August? trainging camp in June! AND TAKE YOUR STINKING LABOR DAY OFF! If the owners dont mind playing that weekend then gooddell will do it. that bum!

Doctors at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta are widely respected and participate in clinical trials and collaborative studies around the country.
In addition, the Aflac Cancer Center is home to an Innovative Therapy Program.
About 60 percent of pediatric patients participate in clinical trials. That number will be even higher when more clinical trials become available. Visit our online clinical trials database to search and view open clinical trials at the Aflac Cancer Center.
Approximately 90 percent of our eligible oncology patients are enrolled in a clinical trial, making the Aflac Cancer Center among the leading cancer centers for clinical trial enrollment by the Children's Oncology Group (COG).
Our ultimate goal is to offer each of our patients access to a clinical trial with the hope that their participation will result in a better outcome.
Clinical trials are developed in a series of steps, called phases. They have three phases.
See Phases 2 and 3
A clinical trial is a research study that tests the current, most promising treatments for diseases.
Most clinical trials in diseases, such as childhood cancer, sickle cell anemia or hemophilia, do not involve treatments that have never been tested before in children. Rather, they involve the testing of well-known medications given in new ways or in new combinations with other well-tested medications that are effective in that disease.
The goal of a clinical trial is to identify treatment combinations that will provide the highest success rates or the best chance of a cure with the least amount of side effects.
Scientific discovery and advances in treatment have brought dramatic improvements in cure rates for many pediatric cancers during the last three years—from a 20 percent chance of survival before the 1960s to a more than 75 percent chance today. This remarkable progress is the result of clinical trials at the Aflac Cancer Center and other pediatric cancer and blood disorders hospitals worldwide.
The Aflac Cancer Center currently participates in several hundred clinical trials and is a member of the Children's Oncology Group—the primary governing body of all national pediatric and adolescent cancer research and clinical trials.
Visit our new online clinical trials database. This tools allows you to easily search and view our open clinical trials. Here you will find a brief summary of each trial, objectives and eligibility criteria.
A new trial is developed by a team of doctors, nurses and others with expertise in treating a particular disease. Each trial is reviewed by many experts before it is started.
Some trials may be organized and conducted at the local/institutional level, while other trials may be created and administered nationally.
The clinical trial team creates a new plan for how children should be treated for a particular disease, such as cancer or a blood disorder. The team uses information from past clinical trials to develop a new plan that will hopefully further improve a child's chance of survival. After many experts review the trial, it may be sent to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for further review and approval.
The Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta reviews all available clinical trials and chooses to participate in studies that provide the best treatment options for our patients.
Finally, in order for the Aflac Cancer Center to make a new trial available to our patients and to treat a patient on a study, the trial must be approved by the Institutional Review Boards (IRB) at Children's and Emory University. An IRB is a hospital committee that reviews every new clinical trial to make sure the trial can be conducted safely and that the trial protects the interests and rights of every patient.
We want to provide your child with the best possible medical care. New clinical trials build on the results of past trials, treatments and information learned about a disease. A clinical trial may allow us to provide more advanced care. Any decision to place your child on a clinical trial will be made by you and your child's doctor, based on your child's unique needs.
When your child is treated in a clinical trial, he receives the most up-to-date treatment available. Studies have shown that patients who participate in clinical trials do better than those children who are not treated on a trial.
Your child is closely followed by doctors, nurses and researchers who look for:
- How well the treatment works
- How it affects healthy cells in the body over time
- How other children in the future might benefit from the treatment—just as your child has been helped from clinical trials of the past
- How well the treatment works
- How it affects healthy cells in the body over time
- How other children in the future might benefit from the treatment—just as your child has been helped from clinical trials of the past
In some instances, a trial may not result in a direct benefit to your child but may provide some information that will aid in the treatment of future children with the same disease.
Yes, clinical trials are voluntary.
You may choose not to enter a clinical trial. You may also choose for your child to be removed from a trial at any time; however, it is important to consider whether your child should begin a clinical trial. A study can be seriously damaged by patients who change their mind in the middle of treatment and decide to have their child removed from the trial.
Your decision about whether to participate in a study will not affect how the healthcare team feels about you or your child. Your child will still receive the same quality of care.
Every clinical trial has criteria that patients must meet before they can participate in a study. Consult with your child's doctor to determine if your child is eligible for an active clinical trial.
The decision will be based on a number of factors, including:
- Type and stage of the disease
- Pre-existing conditions affecting your child
- Potential side effects of the treatment
- Type and stage of the disease
- Pre-existing conditions affecting your child
- Potential side effects of the treatment
Your child's doctor will also help determine if the clinical trial is the best decision to meet your child's medical care needs.
Some families may want to get a second opinion before starting treatment. We fully support patients and their families getting all of the information necessary to be comfortable with the treatment plan.
We are happy to help coordinate second opinions and can recommend other experts around the country who would be the most helpful to you. We can also provide second opinions to patients receiving care at other children's cancer centers. As national leaders in pediatric cancer and blood disorders, doctors at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta have unique relationships with medical experts around the country.
You may want to have a doctor who is not a part of your current healthcare team look at your child's history, lab findings and exams. The doctor can then review his opinion about the treatment plan with you. In addition, some insurance companies require a second opinion. Your child's primary care doctor may suggest another expert doctor for you to call.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) also has a toll-free number for children's cancer centers and doctors all over the country, which can be reached at 800-4CANCER.
Clinical trials are developed in a series of steps, called phases. Clinical trials have three phases:
Phase III trials are typically the initial trials offered to newly diagnosed patients. They usually involve a relatively large number of patients and are most commonly conducted at many different hospitals and clinics around the country.
In this phase, the new treatment is often compared to a standard treatment. Your child may be randomly assigned to either the new treatment or the current standard treatment. Doctors monitor to see if the new treatment is better than the standard treatment.
You and your child will know which type of treatment your child is given.
Phase II trials are typically offered to patients with a disease that has returned, failed to respond or that has a very poor response to initial treatment.
Phase II trials usually seek to determine how effective the optimal dose of a new drug is against a variety of tumors. These trials usually involve between 30 and 100 patients. Doctors can learn more about the effectiveness, side effects and safety of the particular treatment.
Phase I trials represent the cutting edge of innovative cancer treatment and are usually intended for patients with a disease that has returned or failed to respond and for which there is no other known effective treatment.
Phase I trials seek to determine the maximum dose of a drug that can be safely tolerated by patients and how the body breaks down a new drug.
Clinical response is not the main focus of a Phase I trial and less than 10 percent of patients are expected to respond in a Phase I trial. Phase I trials usually involve 10 to 30 patients who are placed in groups of three and closely monitored for side effects.
If your child is part of a Phase I trial, he probably has not responded to standard treatments. The benefit is that your child may be among the first to receive a new treatment.

ZF-3514: Zend_Framework_Search_Lucene throws XXX.del is not readable
Possibly related to: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-2448
Occasionally (at seemingly random intervals), performing a query throws an exception such as, File '/search/lucene_index/_30_j.del' is not readable
If you look at the structure of /search/lucene_index/, there is a _30_k.del file but no _30_j.del file. It appears the delGen is being incremented incorrectly occasionally possibly.
The exception is raised from Zend_Search_Lucene_Index_SegmentInfo line 303. $delFile = $this->directory->getFileObject($this->_name . '' . base_convert($this->_delGen, 10, 36) . '.del');
For a temporary, quick fix, I have modified Zend_Search_Lucene_Index_SegmentInfo to touch the file before it attempts to getFileObject. 303 $delFile = $this->directory->touchFile($this->_name . '' . base_convert($this->delGen, 10, 36) . '.del'); 304 $delFile = $this->_directory->getFileObject($this->_name . '' . base_convert($this->_delGen, 10, 36) . '.del');
I have reproduced this bug in 1.5.1 and 1.5.2
This is a really bizarre bug. Indexing fails in the same place every time, and it's not dependent on the particular item being indexed, it's dependent on when it is indexed (e.g., the 720th item (just an example) fails no matter what the 720th item actually is). This isn't a memory issue as far as I can tell.
It should be noted that I have also reproduced this bug with a checkout of trunk at revision 10001.
Got the same bug here. It's weird... I have an app that's been live for over a year without problems. Only when I moved it to a new VPS this problem started to show. Would optimizing the index regularly prevent this bug from occurring?
Could you provide full stack trace for the exception? There are two different situations where the problem may occur (opening index and updating index just updated by another process).
I've encountered this issue before with our internal ZF app (also at seemingly random intervals). I can't seem to comment on the issue, though, so I'm posting a stack trace here (with some potentially sensitive info masked).
Hope it's useful.
exception 'Zend_Search_Lucene_Exception' with message 'File '***/data/search/lucene/_5kf_54.del' is not readable.' in ***/library/Zend/Search/Lucene/Storage/File/Filesystem.php:59 Stack trace: #0 ***/library/Insight/Search/Index/Adapter/Lucene/Storage/File/Filesystem.php(27): Zend_Search_Lucene_Storage_File_Filesystem->__construct('/***...', 'r+b') #1 ***/library/Insight/Search/Index/Adapter/Lucene/Storage/Directory/Filesystem.php(100): Insight_Search_Index_Adapter_Lucene_Storage_File_Filesystem->__construct('/***...') #2 ***/library/Zend/Search/Lucene/Index/SegmentInfo.php(303): Insight_Search_Index_Adapter_Lucene_Storage_Directory_Filesystem->getFileObject('_5kf_54.del') #3 ***/library/Zend/Search/Lucene.php(380): Zend_Search_Lucene_Index_SegmentInfo->__const in ***/library/Zend/Search/Lucene/Storage/File/Filesystem.php on line 59
Thanks for the stacktrace Aaron, I don't have one sitting around anymore.
Alexander, if there are two possible situations, shouldn't we address both of the possibilities? Since the issue was appearing at seemingly random intervals for myself and others, we can't guarantee which one of the two conditions are occurring.
Aeron: Thanks!
Josh: There are two places where Zend_Search_Lucene_Index_SegmentInfo object is created using already existing index segment. I don't see what is the cause of the problem now, so stacktrace helps to define where the problem actualy appears.
I found where the problem was.
Segments updating (which may happen if some documents were deleted) and segments_xxx file updaing were performed separately. So there was a lack for index updating lock. It may cause the floowing actions sequence:
process1 performs segments updating and writes new del file 30_j.del -> process2 performs segments updating and writes new del file _30_k.del -> process2 performs segment updating and writes new segments_xxx (with the latest del file generation k for segment _30) -> process1 performs segment updating and writes new segments_xxx+1 (with the latest del file generation j for segment _30) -> process1 performs index directory cleanup and deletes all _30*.del file excepting the last -> latest segments_yyy refers del generation for segment _30 as _j, but index folder doesn't contain _30_j.del file => index is corrupted, exception is thrown.
Fixed for the trunk, release-1.5 and release-1.6 branches. Will be included into ZF 1.5.3 (should come within a week).
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

Women's Swimming Leads Yale, Trails Harvard Through Opening Session Of HYP
DAY TWO: LIVE RESULTS l LIVE VIDEO
Despite a 50 free victory from junior Lisa Boyce, the Princeton women's swimming and diving team will need a major rally Saturday afternoon to sweep the annual H-Y-P weekend. The Crimson won six of eight events Friday and set five program records to grab leads over both Princeton and Yale. The Tigers, who came into the weekend undefeated, hold a substantial lead over the Bulldogs midway through the competition.
Princeton will go into the noon session Saturday trailing Harvard 107-43 and leading Yale 97-53. Harvard holds a 115-35 lead over Yale.
Boyce's victory in the 50 came in a dramatic showdown between a trio of upperclassmen. The four-time individual Ivy League champion won in 22.44, while Harvard junior Sara Li took second in 22.52 and Yale senior Alex Forrester finished third in 22.98.
There would be other strong swims by Princeton throughout the night, though none would end up touching the wall first. One of the most exciting finishes came in the 200 free, as Harvard freshman Danielle Lee edged Princeton senior Jillian Altenburger by .03 of a second to win in 1:47.68.
Harvard opened the night with a 1-2 finish in the 200 medley relay, while the Princeton quartet of Boyce, Sarah Furgatch, Nikki Larson and Morgan Karetnick took third in 1:42.99. Princeton junior Maureen McCotter was the top Tiger finisher in the 500 (10:19.77), while freshman Sada Stewart earned a second-place finish in the 100 back. Her time of 54.46 finished behind only Kendall Crawford of Harvard, while Tiger sophomore Shirley Wang took fourth in 56.02.
The Princeton sophomore duo of Cara Slear (1:04.04) and Emily Yu (1:04.22) finished 3-4 in the 100 breast, while the duo of freshman Beverly Nguyen (2:01.08) and senior co-captain Kathy Qu (2:01.11) went 3-4 in the 200 fly.
The other Princeton co-captain, Carter Stephens, picked up a sixth-place finish in the 50 free (23.70), while junior Laura Slater took fifth in 23.65.
Princeton's top finisher in the 3-meter diving competition was freshman Helen Zitkovsky, who placed fifth with 242.35. Junior Randi Brown added an eighth-place finish with 234.85 points.
Saturday's schedule is listed below.

ZF-3257: Attributes or character data lost in Zend_Json::fromXml() in specific circumstances
Example 1 - loss of character data
When a node's children are a mixture of character data and xml nodes, the character data is lost
$xml = 'bar'; echo Zend_Json::fromXml($xml, false);
Output: {"a":{"b":{"@attributes":{"id":"foo"}}}}
Example 2 - loss of attribute data
When a node has a single character data child, any attributes are lost
$xml = 'bar'; echo Zend_Json::fromXml($xml, false);
Output: {"a":{"b":"bar"}}
Please evaluate and fix/categorize as necessary.
What's the status on this? Seems like a pretty major problem.
What output would you expect in this case?
I dunno what the output should be, however I would suspect that the conversion should not loose any data. This is a pretty major issue and there needs to be a resolution.
Stas: In Example 1, note that the value of the "b" element, "bar", is not in the JSON representation. In Example2, the attribute "id" found in element "b" is not represented in the JSON.
I'm not entirely sure how you represent an XML element that has both attributes and values, but surely we need to be able to do so.
One example would be to create a special array index called "name" or"value" or etc. that would contain the element's info. This way it can coexist with the attributes index. This changes the data structure though but it's a special case and would need to be handled when converting back to xml.
My suggestion is to store the text value of a XML element using the key "@text" in the JSON format. The idea is to use the same logic of the @attributes JSON element. For instance, the following XML: bar can be represented in this JSON structure: {"a":{"b":{"@attributes":{"id":"foo"}},"@text":"bar"}} This should be the behaviour only in presence of "complex" XML elements (that means elements with attributes or sub-elements). For instance the following simple XML: foo will continue to be represented with the JSON string: {"a":"foo"}, instead of {"a":{"@text":"foo"}}
Resolved in branches/release-1.11 (commit 23971 and 23973)
With your changes in rev23915 $recursionDepth from _processXml is not recursion depth but the number of root-child-elements! Therefore you are not able to process a xml with more than 25 elements! The old one hat a additional $recursionDepth--; in line 331 which is missing in revision 23915
Simon thanks for the feedback. I used a $recursionDepth++ instead of $recursionDepth+1 in the recursive call (line 280). Resolved in trunk (commit 24039). Please test it and let me know, thanks.
Thanks for the very quick response and bugfix, Enrico! Now it works as expected.
Resolved in branches/release-1.11 (commit 24040)
Issued ZF2 pull request PR-356 to have changes pulled forward
