Full SubmissionSubmission to the Rio 2012 Secretariat for the Compilation Document Theme: Sustainable Mountain Development with a focus on green economy and institutions by Thomas Kohler, Associate Director, Centre for Development and Environment, University of Bern, Switzerland This submission is organized as follows: -numbering of paras refers to the guidance note -paras pertaining to 3a), 1 and 2 refer to Sustainable Development in general. -All other paragraphs refer to Sustainable Development in Mountain Regions. pertaining to 3a: Expectations for the outcome of Rio 2012 1. We expect bold decisions, resulting in quantifiable outcomes, which are the result of specific action based on a short catalogue of common principles of Sustainable Development (SD). The outcomes of action must be monitorable in 5 year intervals. 2. While based on common principles, SD takes place in concrete contexts. We mention 3 such contexts, which we expect to be addressed specifically in the outcome documents, and which could help structure these documents: (1) sectoral issues such as those presented for example in the UNEP report on Green Economy; (2) the largely different circumstances of industrialised countries, countries in transition, and developing countries; and (3) the specific constellations of regional contexts, which strongly limit global blueprints for achieving SD. 3. Specifically, we expect that the mountain regions of the world will be addressed as a key regional context. Without sustainable development in mountains, sustainable development at the global level cannot be achieved: With about 25% of land surface of the earth and 12% of global population, ? Mountains provide freshwater to over half of humankind, including megacities and conurbations on all continents; drylands of the world depend to over 80% on freshwater from mountains. Global Sustainable Development is a fallacy without a safe supply of water from mountain regions. ? Mountains harbour over 50% of all biodiversity hotspots of the world. As centres agro-biodiversity, they harbour the genetic pool of key global food crops such as wheat, maize, and potatoes. A world striving for higher food security must not lose this capital. ? Mountains are important for recreation and tourism in an increasingly urbanised world. Tourism is among the fastest growing industries at a global level, and mountains have a significant share in this growth on all continents. The Alps as the second most important tourism region in the world after the Mediterranean Basin lead the way. They show the crucial role of tourism for local employment and income generation without sidelining environmental concerns. ? however, mountains are hazard-prone environments. They are more exposed to risks than other environments. Poverty rates in mountain regions are significantly higher than on global average. Property rights are often not assured, especially in common property regimes and for indigenous communities. Both are widespread in mountain regions. These problems must be tackled more rigorously than in the past. Pertaining to 3.b - d. Implementation, actors, mechanisms - Green economy roadmap: Mountains have a high potential for greening the economy at all levels, which should be reflected on the outcome documents. Keyword include green energy, especially hydropower; biodiversity and agrobiodiversity (see below), and hazard prevention. - Sustainable development goals: within a global frame of SD principles, specific goals and monitorable indicators need to be defined for mountain areas as a specific context for SD. Efforts to this end have been made by Andean countries already. They deserve support. - Views on implementation: Actor inclusiveness: In mountain regions, the 3 pillars of SD are strongly interconnected. Therefore, concepts for SD transcend sectoral approaches while based on sound sectoral knowhow of key stakeholders including authorities, local communities, external development agencies, research institutions, and the private sector. Appropriate forms such as local and regional bodies must be established for negotiating sustainable development outcomes for mountain regions. Donor and funding agencies, bilateral and international, as well as governments need to help establish and fund such bodies. Actor ownership: Regional and country ownership of SD processes and visions are key. Lessons how to achieve this can be learnt from the Poverty Reduction Strategy process. - Specific cooperation mechanisms: The World Mountain Forum, a novel initiative based on public-private Partnership, has a potential to channel substantial expertise and funds into mountain development, and to create new linkage between mountain and lowland populations. The Forum could be officially launched at the Rio 2012 Conference. Pertaining to 4.a. Objectives of the conference - Gaps. Watershed management. Following Chapter 13 of Agenda 21 from the Rio 1992 Earth Summit, important inroads have been made in watershed management, with a focus on mountain areas and highland-lowland contexts. Approaches have become more participatory and transsectoral. However, important gaps remain relating to area coverage. Given the world?s need for freshwater, efforts in watershed management in mountain regions must be stepped up in the coming decade. FAO with its global watershed programme should lead the way in sharing experience with actors engaged in this domain. - Gaps. Generating and strengthening knowledge. Chapter 13 also stressed the need for improving the knowledge on mountain regions. Progress has been made since 1992, but important gaps remain relating to patterns of climate change and their impact on water resources and hazards; and relating to the effects of economic globalisation on mountain populations and land management. - New challenges and opportunities: Sustainable development in mountain areas faces a series of new challenges. These are climate change; the effects of globalisation including labour migration, irresponsible exploitation of resources such as minerals, timber, and water for large scale hydropower, and loss of cultural identity due to the dominance of western urban values, transmitted to the most remote mountain places by mass media, standardised formal education, and tourism. The challenge is not to prevent these processes from happening, but to turn them into opportunities via appropriate national polity frames. Pertaining to 4.b. Green economy for poverty alleviation and SD - Green energy: There is a huge untapped potential in mountain areas for hydropower development especially in developing countries, which presents an opportunity for green energy supply in support of a greener economy beyond mountain areas. Small hydropower in mountain areas has been particularly successful in providing affordable energy, creating local jobs, increasing wellbeing and reducing poverty, while very substantially reducing carbon loads without disrupting effects on local ecosystems. Efforts should be targeted to double small hydropower generation within the next 5-7 years especially in mountain regions of developing countries. GEF with UNIDO and ICSHP are called upon to take the lead to achieve this target. - Large hydropower development has a huge potential to green the global economy much beyond mountain areas. Sadly, experience shows that it can only be promoted if global environmental and social standards such as those established by the World Commission on Dams are fully met, especially relating to fair compensation of mountain communities. - Other investment in greening the energy sector in mountains should be promoted depending on local conditions. This refers to solar power, wind power, and energy from biogas. More efficient stoves are a cheap, low-tech, accepted and easily upscalable option for reducing carbon emissions by half, reducing women?s drudgery, creating a healthier homes, and saving wood and dung, the most important sources of energy in the mountain areas of developing countries. - Payment for Environmental Services (PES): important as they may be as incentives, more must be learnt from experience made. The compensation must be large enough to generate interest upstream for service provision ? a challenge in densely populated mountain regions with many providers. Other unsolved issues concern the exclusion of poor land users, landless poor, valuation of services, and monitoring the effects of PES on quality and quantity of the services they are expected to provide. - Mountain farming is green owing to low external inputs. Due to topography, it is small-scale, family based, labour-intensive, and multifunctional. It supports agrobiodiversity, hazard prevention and creates amenity by providing diversified landscapes. These are all traits that pertain to a green economy. Support for mountain farming should thus be stepped up. Finding markets for quality mountain products is a proven way of increasing mountain farm incomes and create value chains that benefit mountains and lowland areas. Such programmes need more support in future. Pertaining to 4.c. Institutional framework - Local institutions are crucial for SD and for resource management in mountain areas; no one individual will manage alone in these demanding and harsh environments. In order to ensure sustainable resource use in mountain areas, local institutions need to be acknowledged and strengthened. Local property rights need to be clear and secure, especially relating to common property regimes and to indigenous communities ? both are widespread in mountain areas. - Capacity development including research and outreach is important in order to address the specific challenges for sustainable development as they are presented by mountain environments. Local experience is particularly important; care must be taken to include community knowledge as well as globalised knowledge provided by outside experts. Capacity development should include local-on-the job, vocational, to technical and academic levels. - Regional centres of competence in training, research and outreach have shown their value for sustainable mountain development and for advocating the case of mountains in national, regional and global arenas. Support for regional centres of competence in mountains, whether established or in the making, must be increased. As a rule, donor programmes should invest a minimum of 20% of the project funds into such institutions. However, the establishment and maintenance of such a centre is a long-term task. Core funding has to come from non-time bound funding bodies such as governments or foundations.

After comments in another thread about cast iron valve guides I thought it may be better for a new thread and get some discussion on the subject.
About 8 years ago I did a rebuild that involved new head castings. My local bike shop recommended I run the bronze guides. They don't usually don't work on anything much older than shovelheads but said they worked well in them. I went with them. At first the bike ran OK but after about 3000 miles started skipping very badly after the bike got hot. Engine had obvious valve lash. I could pull over cut it off to cool and in a few minutes hear a definite snap noise. As soon as the snap noise the bike ran fine until it got hot again. I pulled it apart to find the valve stems scarred. The valves had been hanging in the guides. This was the snap noise, valve cooling enough to loosen up in the guide. Also the tin cups were loose under the guides. The fiber washers under the cups had come apart. This also caused a pretty bad oil leak. I went back with more bronze guides reaming them looser. I also used a different fiber washer under the tin cup. The bike has run well since. It now has about 15000 miles on the engine. Only problem is the oil leak. I don't expect this old iron to be leak free but at times it looks like I am spraying for mosquitoes. I put some florescent dye in the oil and ran it to pinpoint the leak. It all seems to be coming from under the exhaust tin cups.
I will most likely pull it back apart soon but wanted some discussion about the material of guides and valves before that.
I was also thinking about the possibility of putting an o ring under the guide to seal the guide to the tin cup. It would take machining a groove on the underside of the guide and a high temperature o ring. Either this or machining the bottom valve spring seat to accept an o ring between the seat and guide where it meets the tin cup.

Top-seeded Jonesboro Westside's Warriors entered Friday's 4A East Regional first round game against Heber Springs with a record of 20-9 compared to a 9-15 record for the fourth-seeded Panthers, whose only advantage seemed to be home field.
However, with a spot in the state tournament at stake, Heber played its best game of the year as ace pitcher Michael Ludwig held the Warriors scoreless through six innings while the Panthers backed him up with bullet proof defense.
With Heber leading 4-0 heading into the final frame, Westside scored three runs and had the tying run at third base when Ludwig induced Westside cleanup batter Dylan Clark into a sharp grounder up the middle. Ludwig snatched the grounder near his shin and threw to first baseman Nathan Martz for the final out as the Panthers stunned the Warriors 4-3 and claimed a spot in this week's state tournament in Harrison.
Panther Coach Darren Gowen could not have been more proud. "I told the kids all week with Michael Ludwig on the mound as long as we play good defense behind him we've got as good a chance as anybody. He went out there and pitched his guts out. It was so hot I bet he lost 10 pounds but he did a great job and came up with a huge hit."
"Judson Smith, Michael Kramer they played well. Judson got us going with a triple then Kramer got a double and Smith came back with a big hit in that last inning so he had a big night. I just love these kids and how they just keep playing hard. We played solid defense and that's what it takes," added Gowen.
Clark, Westside's left-handed starting pitcher, worked a perfect first inning, included one strikeout. Ludwig pitched around a two-out single by J.T. Nortier in the bottom half while striking out two.
In the top of the second, Heber struck with one run on two hits as Smith led off with a triple deep down the right field line and he scored moments later when Kramer hammered an RBI, ground-rule double that bounced over the right field wall. Clark responded with three straight strikeouts, leaving Kramer stranded in scoring position.
Ludwig retired the Warriors in order in the bottom of the second with the help of centerfielder Goeffrey Anderson, who took away a potential extra base knock with a running grab near the warning track. Ludwig also notched another strikeout, ending the second.
Tyler Dennis lifted a single to left field to start the third and he eventually moved to second on a throwing error. But, after Ludwig received an intentional pass, Westside got out of the inning on a wild play, starting when Smith sent a chopper to the left side.
Page 2 of 3 - Westside's third baseman missed a charging stab at the ball, which gave Dennis a glimpse at home. But, shortstop Jared Fuqua alertly backed up the play and cut down Dennis on a close call at the plate.
Clinging to a 1-0 lead, Ludwig pitched around a one-out walk in the bottom of the third with the help of a 4-6-3 double play turned by Kramer at second and Smith at shortstop.
In the top of the fourth, Brooks Morgan pushed a one-out bunt single to the right side and he scampered to second on a fielding miscue. But, Clark induced an infield pop-out before plunking Martz.
With two runners in scoring position after a wild pitch, Clark retired Dennis on a fly-ball to left center handled by left fielder Clint Brown. In the bottom half, Ludwig continued to cruise as he sat down the first two hitters, including one by strikeout, before Clark pulled a single through the hole on right side.
Lucas Johnston followed with a looping single to right field but Ludwig stranded both runners when Josh Baker sent a high fly-ball to right field, where Blaine Hill made the catch to keep the Warriors scoreless.
Clark pitched a perfect fifth, including two more strikeouts but Ludwig retaliated by retiring the side in order in the bottom half, also recording two strikeouts.
Smith led off the sixth by working a full-count walk and he advanced into scoring position on a sacrifice-bunt from Kramer. But, Clark fanned the next two batters, leaving Kramer at second and Heber's lead at 1-0.
In the bottom of the sixth, Smith and Kramer each took care of a pair of ground balls as the Panthers got two quick outs before Nortier roped a single to left field. After Clark poked a single to center, Ludwig retired Johnston on a fly-ball to left, where Morgan made the play to end the sixth.
The Panthers added three important insurance runs in the top of the seventh, which ended up making the difference. With one down, Dennis got Heber started with a walk then Anderson reached on a fielder's choice turned error as Westside attempted to turn a double play but was ruled off the bag at second, allowing both runners to reach safely.
The Warriors relieved Clark with Nortier, who struck out the first batter he faced. With two out and two on base, Ludwig slammed an RBI single to center that scored Dennis then Westside committed an error that allowed Anderson to reach third base as Ludwig cruised into second.
Next up, Smith delivered a 2 RBI single up the middle that plated Anderson and Ludwig as Heber's lead grew to 4-0 before Nortier stopped the Warriors' bleeding with a strikeout.
Page 3 of 3 - Needing three outs to pull of the upset, Westside made it nerve-wracking with three runs on three hits in the bottom of the seventh. Baker worked a full-count walk to start the frame then Tyler Hart beat out an infield single.
Left-handed pinch-hitter Zach Anderson pulled a single through the hole on right side to load the bases for Drake Collum, who lifted a sacrifice-fly, RBI to left field that scored Baker.
Jared Fuqua followed with an RBI double to deep left field that scored Hart and placed two runners in scoring position. Justin Fuqua's RBI groundout to second plated Anderson as the Warriors pulled within one at 4-3 with one out remaining.
After issuing an intentional walk to Nortier, giving Westside runners at the corners, Ludwig finished off the Warriors when he cut off Clark's full-count ground ball back up the middle.
Without a block of a previous pitch in the dirt by Heber catcher Harley Hooten, Westside may have scored the tying run.
"Harley has done a great job behind the plate all year long. He didn't have his best game [offensively] but he can leave that on the field," said Gowen.
"He called a great game. He is important because he called the [pitches] and came up with a great block, holding their runner at third. We only walked two and didn't have any errors. When you do that great things are going to happen," Gowen added.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
A barium x-ray is a radiographic (x-ray) examination of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Barium x-rays (also called upper and lower GI series) are used to diagnose abnormalities of the GI tract, such as tumors, ulcers and other inflammatory conditions, polyps, hernias, and strictures.
The use of barium with standard x-rays contributes to the visibility of various characteristics of the GI tract. Barium is a dry, white, chalky, metallic powder that is mixed with water to make barium liquid. Barium is an x-ray absorber and appears white on x-ray film. When instilled into the GI tract, barium coats the inside wall of the esophagus, stomach, large intestine, and/or small intestine so that the inside wall lining, size, shape, contour, and patency (openness) are visible on x-ray. This process shows differences that might not be seen on standard x-rays. Barium is used only for diagnostic studies of the GI tract.
In addition to drinking barium, some patients may be given baking soda crystals (similar to Alka-Seltzer) to further improve the images. This type of procedure is called an air-contrast or double-contrast upper GI.
Fluoroscopy is often used during a barium x-ray. Fluoroscopy is a study of moving body structures - similar to an x-ray "movie." A continuous x-ray beam is passed through the body part being examined, and is transmitted to a TV-like monitor so that the body part and its motion can be seen in detail. In a barium x-ray, fluoroscopy allows the radiologist to see the movement of the barium through the GI tract as it is instilled through the mouth or the rectum.
Reasons for performing barium x-ray procedures may include the following:
Additional procedures are often performed in conjunction with or as a result of barium x-rays. These procedures may include endoscopic examinations (an endoscope is a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into a body cavity and, using fiberoptic technology, provides direct visualization of the inside of the cavity), computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and intra-cavity ultrasound.
There are three types of barium x-ray procedures, including the following:
What is a barium enema?
A barium enema involves filling the large intestine with diluted barium liquid while x-ray images are being taken. Barium enemas are used to diagnose disorders of the large intestine, colon, and rectum. These disorders may include colonic tumors, polyps, diverticula, and anatomical abnormalities.
How is a barium enema performed?
Usually, a barium enema can be performed on an outpatient basis. The patient may be asked to do the following in preparation for a barium enema:
These measures are done to empty the large intestine, as any residue (feces) can obscure the image. However, a barium enema may be done without preparation, for example, to diagnose Hirschsprung's disease.
Barium enemas are performed in two ways:
Although each hospital may have specific protocols in place, generally, a barium enema procedure follows this process:
What is a barium small-bowel enema?
A barium small-bowel enema is also called enteroclysis. The procedure involves filling the small intestine with barium liquid while x-ray images are being taken. Barium small-bowel enemas are used to diagnose disorders of the stomach and small intestine, such as ulcers, tumors, and inflammatory bowel disease, a group of disorders that includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
How is a barium small-bowel enema performed?
Usually, a barium small-bowel enema can be performed on an outpatient basis. Patients may be asked to refrain from eating or drinking after midnight on the night before the examination. An enema or laxative may be given on the day before the test to clear feces from the bowel.
Although each hospital may have specific protocols in place, generally, a barium small-bowel procedure follows this process:
What is a barium swallow?
A barium swallow, also called an upper GI series, is an examination of the esophagus and stomach using barium to coat the walls of the upper digestive tract so that it may be examined under x-ray. Barium swallows are used to identify any abnormalities such as tumors, ulcers, hernias, pouches, strictures, and swallowing difficulties.
How is a barium swallow performed?
Usually, a barium swallow can be performed on an outpatient basis. Patients may be advised not to eat or drink after midnight on the night before the examination.
Although each hospital may have specific protocols in place, generally, a barium swallow procedure follows this process:
An upper gastrointestinal study with a small bowel follow-through is another type of barium study that may be used to evaluate certain conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding, chronic/recurrent abdominal pain, and vomiting.

What is more important to YOU, Lance was doping or someone in YOUR peloton is?

So Lance was caught?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
It would be sad to learn Lance, who made gazillions in profits from his racing/advertising career, was a fraud like so many others. It'd be sadder to me than the Boulder leg-shaving-white-rimmed-glasses-wearing-lycra-clad-peter-pans doing dope to keep up with their buddies.
But Lance hasn't been caught and thus I feel I owe him the benefit of the doubt, particularly in light of two things:
1) 500+ tests, 20+ years of negative tests.
2) His accusers generally stand to make some good $ by throwing him under the bus now that their doping careers are a bust.

I don't mean to imply
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
I don't mean to imply that Lance was doping just what are we most interested in.
I started 303cycling in 2007 because I had lost faith in pro cycling. To me cycling happens here, on the roads we ride, in the pack we race with, on the single track we tackle, not 1200 miles away.
...And I am grateful you

...And I am grateful you started 303cycling! It's one of my favorite feeds. Since I have little at stake when I race my mountain bike, I really don't care if the dude in compression socks ahead of me is taking EPO. It's when that dude is making $$$ and helping determine public policy that I'd get annoyed by his cheating.

Like the tests mean something?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Lance is in a bad place for a lot of reasons, but one of them is cannot prove his innocents. All he says is I passeed over 500 tests. Does that hold water any more? Does Lance just laugh his ass off as he tweets that? I passed their dumb tests, ha, ha, ha.
Hello man, jesus look at Floyd and Tyler, how many 100's of tests did they pass too? So Lance is 500 and 0 (well at least technically) and Floyd and Tyler are like 200 and 1?
Points: 43
What else shall I go by?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I know little about the accuracy of the drug tests beyond the following:
1) They are used by the racing agencies/authorities to determine who is doping.
2) They were accurate enough to catch Tyler and and Floyd among others.
Beyond those tests, shall we use the testimony of known liars to convict Lance?
I think not.
We go with the best evidence we have. It seems that today's testing technology has been used on samples from Lance that were taken years ago, yet still they show up negative. Innocent until proven guilty, I say.
Points: 76
Indictment on drug testing if true.
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
As stated above, Lance can no longer prove he didn't dope so we only have the USADA investigation. That is an indictment first and foremost on WADA, USADA, and the doping control program since Festina. If the tests are so easy to beat then you have to say all the tests are meaningless. In which no one can prove they are clean, so the results need to be left as is. I think a better pushinment at this late date is to fine Lance and others, and lifetime bans from any future involvement in sports. I have long thought that the drug companies should put innert markers in their PEDs to assist the drug testing. Yes and the drug testers need to get better, otherwise it is a complete waste. As for the guys that line up on the weekends. My life does not revolve around my results. So while it would suck if some of the guys in my group beat me because of drugs, I know most beat me because they train better, handle better or happen to have a little bit better luck.

Man you guys need to settle
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Man you guys need to settle down, it is Friday, have fun. I never said Lance was guilty, I assume you can read what I wrote, right? I 100% agree with you, you are innocent until proven guilty (unless you are in France). I would go a step further and say that so far no one has come close to producing a smoking gun, including Tyler.
All I was talking about was the defense of saying "hey I passed all the tests so I am clean" (which was mentioned by the guy I responded to). My point, as apparently you guys cannot handle much independent thought, is giving how many tests Floyd, Tyler, and lots of other dopers have "passed", I think there is zero credibility in Lance still using that as a "fact". That is all, it does not make him a doper, I just think it is useless statement these days.

What is the point of this
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
What is the point of this poll? It is a false choice. I hate both situations. Obviously, racerX is a bigger issue for me personally, as I would be competing against them. But you cannot disassociate the culture of doping in the pro ranks from the amateur ranks. They are intertwined, as if accepted or ignored at the Pro levels, it makes all the more easy for RacerX to justify it in the amateur ranks.

All a farce
Submitted by Mike (not verified) on
Until there is a real effort to clean up sports in the U.S., this whole investigation is a farce regardless of guilt. I say "Show me the money" and clean up pro football, hockey, baseball, basketball... Cities often subsidies sports arenas for pro teams (at the tax payers expense and often at the expense of public education, Chicago as an example), imagine the potential fraudulent criminal activity.
The whole Lance issue is a waste of tax payer money, it does nothing for the interest of the American tax payer, zilch. He may have doped, but the data shows he didn't. Floyd Landis should be under criminal charges for fraud just based off his innocence defense in which he took donations to fight for his plea, then admits guilt millions of dollars later.
Farce, farce, farce....
As for my peloton (or trail as it would be) at the amateur level, if there is no big money involved (which is rare), I don't care so much. Please don't waste my money on testing everyone. LIFE is full of cheats, I don't want to get hung up on how other people live their life.

Who did what
Submitted by Buzz (not verified) on
I apologize for not joining the fray, but I am uninterested in the continuing debate of Did he or Didn't he?
Besides that it is impossible to prove or disprove past events, I do not see how this effects me, and do not see how it effects anyone actually, with the notable exception of the bike media, which has a heavy monetary stake in continued controversy. 20 years from now, anytime ad sales are sagging, some bright publisher will say, "Hey, I've got it: Lance! Let's publish an exposé (or defense) of Lance!"

[removed] trained a lot this winter, joined the map my ride team to race pro12, was listed on their web site, and went down to valley of the sun to race. Rumor is USADA paid him a visit down there, which is pretty interesting if true. Guy has not raced a single event since VOS, did not show for races he pre reg for, and all mention of him has been removed from his team's web site.

We have contacted USADA, multiple times, they will not respond and it wasn't firstname.lastname@example.com, we have real email addresses given to us by those in the know and USADA will not respond.

It does matter
Submitted by Campie (not verified) on
To me it isn't about Lance or number 149 next to me at the start line. I have raced against convicted dopers and racers that have straight up told me later that they were using steroids, EPO, etc. It didn't change how I thought of them as a friend or not, but it did suck that the races, results, and spirit of racing was ruined in those races.
It does matter if cyclist and athletes at any level are doping. As a society we have to consider the implications of cheating becoming so common place that we forget it is cheating. This has already sort of happened with banking, investment, major corporations and most sports. I guarantee there is just as much doping in soccer, football, etc. Maybe you don't care because it doesn't affect your top 5 result in a Cat 3 race. But if you have children or care at all about our societies values, then you should care about cheating. I know several college football players that chose to not go to the pros solely because they refused to dope and it was a preconcieved notion that they would have to in order to compete. Is that the choice you want for your children? Become a cheater or don't succeed? I don't want to hear the BS about how everyone cheats. It simply isn't true. Does it matter if people cheat in sports? Doesn't it make it more exciting if a player hits 70 home runs instead of 35? I personally don't care about 70 home runs if it is due to steroid use. The point of sports is that it is a competition of talen, effort, and luck. If it becomes a competition of who has the best doctor/drugs then I certainly don't think the athlete should get the award. We can start awarding doctors for the best doping programs.
It is a shame that people have become so worn down by the constant barage of doping issues that we don't care any more.

Tube sponges off Little Cayman Island. With coral cover on Caribbean reefs at historic lows, sponges are now the dominant, habitat-forming animals on most of them.
The decline in coral is due to disease, heat stress from warming waters and waves from storms. Additionally, scientists have discovered that overfishing has added to this decline by lessoning the numbers of predator fish that feed on some sponge species.
Joseph R. Pawlik, a marine scientist at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and colleagues used the underwater research lab Aquarius, moored on Conch Reef, to study the chemical ecology of Caribbean reef sponges.
Some reef sponges produce chemical defenses, called metabolites, which make them distasteful to fish. These metabolite-producing sponges are largely left alone by predator fish, such as angelfish and parrotfish; those that don't produce metabolites are subject to being grazed upon by fish. "That being said, when overfishing by humans removes these predatory fish, reefs shift toward faster growing sponges that can out-compete reef corals for space," says Pawlik. "That further hinders corals' chances of recovery."
These findings regarding the relationship between sponges and predator fish in coral reef communities are important because previous research led scientists to believe that Caribbean sponge communities were built up in areas where plankton--tiny floating plants and animals--was available. But research by Pawlik and colleagues on sponge growth using a cage to exclude predators found the opposite was true: "Overfished reefs that lack spongivores (sponge-eating fish) soon become dominated by faster growing, chemically undefended sponge species, which better compete for space with reef-building corals," says Pawlik. This finding will be used to help guide fisheries management in the future throughout the Caribbean.
To learn more about this research, which was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (OCE 10-29515), see the NSF Discovery story Life on a coral reef: Insult is (sometimes) added to injury. (Date of Image: 2011-2012) [Image 6 of 6 related images. Back to Image 1.]

Elizabeth Dole is a former Republican senator from North Carolina, former Secretary of Transportation, and former candidate for president in 2000. She is also the wife of former U.S. Senator Bob Dole. Dole graduated from Duke University in 1958, then went on to earn a degree from Harvard Law School in 1965. She started her political career with a job in Lyndon Johnson's department of Health, Education and Welfare. She became the first female Secretary of Transportation in 1983 under Ronald Reagan; in 1989, George Bush (the elder) made her Secretary of Labor. She left that job in 1991 to become head of the American Red Cross, a job she held until 1998. She formed an exploratory committee to run for the presidency in 2000, but withdrew from the race on 20 October 1999. (The election was later won by Bush's son George W. Bush.) She won the U.S. Senate seat of retiring North Carolina senator Jesse Helms in 2002, and held the seat for one term before being defeated by Democrat Kay Hagen in the elections of 2008.
Elizabeth Dole has, since 1975, been married to Bob Dole, the former senator from Kansas and GOP presidential candidate in 1996. She and Dole have no children… Her childhood nickname is "Liddy," though she reportedly dislikes having it used in public.

Shirin Ebadi won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003 for risking her life to defend victims of political violence in Iran. On December 28, amid a crackdown on anti-government protesters, her sister Nushin Ebadi—a professor of dentistry who is not politically active—was detained by Iranian intelligence officials in what may have been a bid to intimidate Ebadi, a human rights lawyer and campaigner for democracy, into halting her work. In this chilling excerpt from her 2006 memoir, Iran Awakening: A Memoir of Revolution and Hope, Ebadi recalls the frightening details of her own arrest in 2000.
My Advance Warning
When you are about to be arrested in the Islamic Republic of Iran, you get advance warning in the press. Just as you might turn to a certain page for the week's weather forecast, you can scan the front page of two or three hard-line papers as a guide to whose arrest is on the way. If the headlines fall below the fold or appear intermittently, the handcuffs are a good two or three weeks away. If the libel against you is making the front page every day, if the fury has become palpable in the top headlines, you know you should pack your overnight bag.
The hard-line apparatus is media savvy. It sends out the equivalent of press releases early, to ensure that Western media outlets can catch the news. But it forgets to embargo their release until the actual hour of the arrest — which is how phone calls such as one I received early one morning come to pass.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hello?" repeated the caller. "Who is this?"
"This is Shirin Ebadi."
"Mrs. Ebadi! I'm so happy to hear your voice! We received a telex earlier saying you had been arrested…."
"Really? You don't say…."
That day the phone did not stop ringing. For hours I repeated over and over to journalists that I was not in prison. Yet. My sister called, after hearing a news bulletin on a Persian-language European radio station. "It's all a mistake," I assured her.
The Worst Phone Call of My Life
At 5:00 that afternoon, June 28, 2000, the phone call I had been waiting for finally came. "Please report to Branch 16 of the Tehran General Court," the caller said.
As I made a last-minute survey of the apartment, checking to be sure I had packed my blood-pressure medication and an extra toothbrush, I convinced myself I would be back soon. "Your father and I have a meeting this evening," I called out to my two teenage daughters, who were watching television in the living room. "Order yourselves a pizza for dinner." I was anxious that my husband, Javad, not linger too long at the ministry, where I had been ordered to report, in case our daughters started to worry.
The session with the court judge lasted 20 minutes. He promised to alert my husband, who I presumed was waiting outside, that I had been taken to prison. The guards led me through a back door to a parking lot. It was quite late, after 10, and the fluorescent streetlights bathed the parking lot in a strange orange glow. The traffic had slowed by that hour, so it didn't take long to drive up the expressway, past the spiraling twin minarets of the new praying grounds. The driver stopped at a kiosk along the way and bought me a soda. My mouth had gone dry.
My First Moments in Evin
The prison known as Evin is tucked away on the side of an expressway in northern Tehran. It is one of the few institutions in Iran whose reputation has passed unchanged from the shah's regime to the Islamic Republic. With its iron walls and low-slung architecture, the prison holds a grim reputation for having been the scene of thousands of executions since the revolution. The name Evin conjures images of basement interrogation chambers and long rows of dank, narrow solitary cells, and occupies perhaps the darkest corner of the Iranian imagination.
I was wholly unprepared for the first question I was asked when I arrived:
"Are you here for a moral offense?"

Missed Lu's insane performance of "Words I Never Said" with Erykah Badu from last night's BET Hip Hop Awards? Don't worry, watch it above! Lasers in stores now!
Lupe is a beast I been a fan ever since u came out man your my idol and my dream is.to play druma for u one day but keep up the good work
Big ups to Lupe for making a song that alot of us can relate to. We pray for the innocent lives that are lost in Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq, Libya, Egypt, here in the US, and many more countries that are going through pain. I have a rebuttle for a kid named cotty, Lupe is not about money, drugs, hoes, so he is not going to make or perform with that nonsense. Lupe represents a voice for those who do not have access to the media or music industry, the youth, the nonviolent, the peaceful, and the ones who want to succeed. Last but not least, he represents a lot of muslims, who live a clean, peaceful, positive minded, nonviolent life, basically what Islam is all about: Peace. Asalam Alaikam
I'll be that guy. No I don't like it. He didn't perform for the audience. This is the BET awards and he went out there like it was a fucking rock concert. It's dead quiet in there, with no shots of the crowd because they knew it was bad. I like you Lu but you gotta be smarter than this right here. Cater to the crowd. and make them want to buy the album then have like a max of 3 songs trying to get the word out but don't force shit on people. that's why people avoid the church is because it feels like its being forced on them...
Lupe that is what I call guts and being brave! holding the Palestinian Flag high and proud really shows the type of person you are and the courage you have. Will definitely buy your C.D. and continue to support you in any way possible. Will also spread the word. Please continue to support the Palestinian cause and please spread awareness of it. We need more people like you. The truth will come out soon it always does.
Holding on to the Palestinian Flag and wearing an Occupy Wall Street tee-shirt!! Big up to you Lupe!! Spread the word!! I knew of you, but I now I know about you, and I will buy your music and spread the word too!!! Great song! Thanks Brother!!!

My favorite recipe so far from Kitchen is the strawberry almond crumble (I've also made it with blueberries, peaches and raspberries) - the peach version was my husband's "birthday cake" this week. From Express I recommend the banana muffins and the mustard pork chops. Also Nigella doesn't usually add salt to her recipes so I add some to the muffins. Loved this post!ReplyDelete
I didn't know that melting the butter was all the rage... I usually do it myself... but only because I forget to take the butter out of the fridge so it can soften. Can I now claim to be trendy instead of forgetful?ReplyDelete
(This book sounds like it's a good reading cookbook... thanks for reviewing it!)
Her shows and cookbooks are wonderful, I have been following her for a long time. Her Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins are to die for and my fav recipe.ReplyDelete
Nigella is awesome. Her books are good for reading--even if you never make a single recipe from them you'll go back to her again and again for her witty writing.ReplyDelete
And, as my husband likes to point out, she looks good in a sweater!
Curious as to whether the recipes are changed for North American editions or do they have weights - grams and ounces - as well as cups? Will you ever show weights on your recipes Susan?ReplyDelete
Nigella's cookbooks are great, and her Food Network show is one of my favorites. At the end of every show she walks into her kitchen in the dark, and raids the refrigerator for leftovers! It's hilarious and endearing at the same time.ReplyDelete
You have a great blog and I don't know what I enjoy more, your photos or your recipes! Thanks for both!
I have her book How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking. I love it. It's fun to read and I've loved the recipes. My two favorites out of the book are the Chocolate Loaf Cake and her White Chocolate Pistachio Cookies. I like the directions she gives too. Somehow directions like "It should look like gooey, thin mud" make sense to me and keep me on track. Love your blog by the way!ReplyDelete
Yum. Nigella was actually kind of a big influence on me about 10 years ago when I was first moving out of the fashion industry and into working with food. She wrote about both for a long time (not sure about now). Anyway for some reason I don't have her more recent books. I think the latest I have is Feast, which I absolutely love. I need to investigate her more recent stuff. I loved her first TV series Nigella Bites too.ReplyDelete
YUM! I made these tonight and they were maybe the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had.ReplyDelete
They look yummy!!!ReplyDelete

Your pictures are amazing! I'm still searching for the perfect CCC and this one is going on the list! Do they turn out crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside? What method do you use to measure your flour - scale (if so, how many ounces or grams flour), scoop & sweep, or spoon & sweep? Thanks for another great post.ReplyDelete
I made the "less fuss" version. I love chocolate, but I could have left out 1/3 to 1/2 of the chocolate chips and I think they would have still been ok. They were really rich as is, and definitely required a big glass of milk!ReplyDelete
Hi April,ReplyDelete
Nigella describes these cookies as having "a bit of tender, fudgy chewiness, but an edge of crisp bite, too." :)
I used the 'scoop & sweep' method to measure out my flour.
Hi Anna,
Thanks for taking the time to write. These cookies are definitely on the chocolately side if you use the entire package of chocolate chips, though I found that it also depends on the size of the chips.
My milk chocolate chips were bigger than the semi-sweet (same brand, just different size), and that left more plain cookie, which I preferred (and I, too, love chocolate).
It's definitely a matter of taste - I've seen some chocolate chip cookies that looked like they were practically solid chocolate.
No matter how you like them, though, a big glass of milk is definitely required! ;)
- Anonymous7/04/2012 5:32 PM
Hi! I love you blog! I was just wondering if you could substitute crisco for butter? I hear that it makes cookies larger and more chewier.ReplyDeleteReplies
A lot of older chocolate chip cookie recipes call for shortening (like Crisco) because it's cheaper than butter, but I'm not sure how it would work to melt it, like the butter is melted in these recipes. I'm not sure why it would make them larger. Also, the cookies won't be as flavorful as when they're made with butter. :)Delete
- Anonymous7/05/2012 9:42 PM
kk I'll make them with butter! thanks so much for replying :)Delete
It is true that crisco doesn't melt like butter and that's why some cookies tend to not quite be so flat...b/c this recipe doesn't yield flat cookies, it should be pretty much the same. As for the flavore, just use butter flavored crisco!Delete
Thanks so much for this tremendous recipe! I've made it twice already and I'm pretty sure it going to be my go-to cookie recipe from now on! I have some that I mixed cocao powder with in the oven right now...chocolate chocolate chip cookies!ReplyDelete
December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.
Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!
Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.
I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!

All the cool kids are doing it. Well, the cool kids running the cool businesses are doing it. They're all hanging original art on their walls. You see, what they really want is to be an art gallery, but instead they run a cafe, a medical center, or -- a credit union.
If you haven't noticed, artwork isn't just for galleries anymore. And travel posters and cheap reproductions are no longer for businesses looking to decorate their walls. Business owners are seeking out artists to grace their space with interesting, thought-provoking and high quality work. Most see it as a win-win. The artists get some exposure -- another venue to sell their work -- and the businesses and their clientele don't have to be subjected to insipid images all day. It adds another layer of responsibility on the business, but the improvement on the space is worth it.
This Friday for Gallery Stroll, in addition to the many fine galleries Salt Lake has to offer, there are businesses showing off our local artists as well:
Avenues Bistro on Third is featuring the photography of Joe Marotta. You'll see some of his recent images of eateries in Italy and France. See what they did there? They made it relevant. Smart.
Evolutionary Healthcare is presenting oil paintings by Justin Caruth.
Justin Caruth
America First Credit Union will feature amazing paintings of Red Rock landscapes by Carol Berrey.
Carol Berrey
There's something admirable about a business that recognizes and participates in the local culture. Their space comes to life with an added level of interest and importance. The same goes for your home by the way. Have you ever walked into someone's house and wondered what it was that made it special? Was it the sleek IKEA furniture? Doubtful. Was it the careful choice in their color scheme? Possibly. More often than not it is the homeowner's attention to details such as what they choose to display on their walls and bookcases. And we all know original art has a powerful effect on the room in which it resides. So learn something from these alternative venues when you're out on Gallery Stroll. You might find something that grabs you. Take it home to make your space a more unique and interesting place to spend your time.
Laura Durham is assistant editor at 15 Bytes, Utah's Art magazine, and is a contributor for Salt Lake magazine.

ZF-7669: Zend_Test_DbAdapter supportsParameters() returns false causing exception when testing code that uses update()
Zend_Test_DbAdapter supportsParameters() always returns false making it impossible to test code that uses the update() method with bind parameters.
$dbAdapter = new Zend_Test_DbAdapter();
$dbAdapter->update('table', array('field' => 'value'), 'table_id = 5');
The above code will throw the exception: {color:red} Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception: Zend_Test_DbAdapter doesn't support positional or named binding{color}
I think it would make more sense to have supportsParameters() return true.
Fixed and merged into 1.9 release branch.

The luxurious, and supremely exclusive, Casino Club served as the perfect setting for this year's ZooLA, the annual live auction fundraiser hosted by the Women's Board of Lincoln Park Zoo.
An elite group of 180 guests gathered under the dazzling chandeliers of the casino's jewel-toned ballroom for a reception of hors d'oeuvres, small plates and custom cocktails mixed by the lovely Revae Schneider of Femme du Coupe. A pre-auction raffle of gorgeous designer handbags from the likes of Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent and Anthony Luciano—filled with surprise experiences, no less—had ladies, and a few gentleman, purchasing tickets left and right. Prizes included an overnight stay at the new Thompson Hotel and an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the zoo.
More than 20 covetable auction lots ranging from a breathtaking Harry Winston timepiece to a one-week stay at the Four Seasons ski resort in Jackson Hole, Wyo., inspired many rounds of enthusiastic bidding and raised an unprecedented $250,000 for the zoo's conservation, education and animal-care initiatives. –Photography by Violet Dominek

Lewis N. Walker became chancellor of Lawrence Technological University on July 1, 2012, following six years as president.
Walker joined Lawrence Tech in 1994 as provost, the University's chief academic officer. In 2003 he was appointed to the additional role of executive vice president, adding oversight of student services and business activities.
Walker holds three degrees from the University of Missouri-Columbia, including the Ph.D. in electrical engineering. A registered professional engineer, he was involved as principal investigator or investigator of numerous research contracts and has organized and presented many short courses and seminars on power system protection and power system dispatch operations. He also helped develop systems to communicate with deeply submerged submarines anywhere in the world.
As president, Walker continued to expand academic priorities that he had helped put in place as provost and executive vice president – improving student access to computer technology, expanding international partnerships, and making facility improvements to support emerging technologies and career fields.
The growth of degree and fast-track certificate programs from the associate through the doctoral level has been a hallmark of Walker's leadership. The number of academic programs has grown from 60 to more than 100, and Lawrence Tech has introduced more than 40 "fast track" certificate programs designed to help displaced workers make a quick transition to new careers.
He has also led the inclusion of leadership training during all four years of a student's undergraduate experience, a value added distinction seldom seen outside the service academies.
Walker came to Lawrence Tech from the University of Hartford, which he had joined in 1982 as dean of engineering and professor of electrical engineering, and later also served as special assistant to the president. He has published more than 50 technical papers and has lectured in Brazil, India, Malaysia, Taiwan, and several European countries.
Walker serves as a director of the Detroit Economic Club, the Engineering Society of Detroit, the Detroit Regional Chamber, and the Skyline Club of Southfield. He serves on the executive board of the Detroit Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America. In 2008 he was appointed by the governor to Michigan's Higher Education Facilities Commission.
Honoring his contributions to science and engineering, Walker received the 2012 Gold Award from the Affiliate Council of the Engineering Society of Detroit.
In 2005, Walker initiated a partnership with Ferndale Public Schools (MI) to establish University High School, which provides a rigorous college preparatory curriculum for public school students. Previously he was on the task force to develop college courses and degree pathways for Focus: HOPE in Detroit.
He is a past director of Automation Alley and served as secretary of the board of directors of the Plastics Learning Center, a director of the Southeast Michigan Alliance for Manufacturing, and the Workforce Development Board of Oakland County.
Earlier, he was president of the Connecticut Society of Professional Engineers, and vice president from the northeast of the National Society of Professional Engineers. He also served as a director of the Greater Hartford Chamber of Commerce; as director of the American Society of Engineering Education and as chairman of the Zone 1 Board of ASEE; and as a director of the Connecticut Pre-Engineering program.
A native of Missouri, Walker and his wife, Nancy, have five children and three grandchildren. One of their sons is a Lawrence Tech alumnus.
Students, colleagues, and friends praise the accomplishments Lewis N. Walker, Lawrence Technological University's sixth president, as he transitions to his new role as the University's chancellor.

Farmer's Wife QA, Week 3
I like how the Bat Wing block turned out, but what's up with the corners of the block being rounded? I know the rounded corners on the templates are supposed to be helpful, but I'm not used to that, so it just seems to be screwing me up. But the block still turned out to be the right size, so I guess I can't complain.
Big Dipper is okay, although I do wish I had chosen fabrics with a little more contrast. They looked good next to each other, but in the completed block they're getting lost in each other a bit. Oh well—I suppose it won't hurt to have some blocks like this once the entire quilt is put together.
Next week's blocks look a bit more challenging, especially when it comes to choosing the right fabric. Looking forward to it though!

I've done one block and I'm not big on the rounded corners either; they're screwing me up too. I find them harder to align.
I'm kinda winging it with colour - using the scrap stash!

Ive decided I have way to much time and money.
Then again I've never been married and have no kids.
I bought a set of kr cases and have decided to build an engine for vintage
I've build a couple of Duck single for racing in Europe and realize that
the vintage racing there is serious and lots of modern tech goes into the
"vintage racing"
Looking at the kr I realize there are alot of items not available or
things that could be improved.
(I've got my own machine shop and an friend who is a cracker machinist)
I realize that my major problem will be cylinders.
From what I can see the K an KR cylinders are about the same on the outside
I realize the porting and valves are much different.
A client has a 3d laser scanner and will let me use it to measure up some parts
From there to autocad to set it up for the shrink factor and then casting
There are much better alloys to use than the cast cylinders orginally used.
(a set of cast aluminium cylinder? no thats going to far)
We will modify the casing for some superblend bearing and
figure our crank from what we have from there.
Any and all advice comments appreciated.
I already know I'm not a purist thank you (gr)

In 1836, a Comanche raiding party took young Cynthia Ann Parker from her family. Over the following years, she became wife to a Comanche chief and mother to his children, including son Quanah. After Cynthia Ann was taken back to her birth family by Texas Rangers, Quanah became one of the most important Comanche leaders in both war and peace.
This traveling exhibit of over 40 rarely seen photos was created by the Texas Lakes Trail Region and will be on display through May. More information...
