We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to allow our Managing Editor a few minutes to brag about her adorable expectant sister (oh, and to talk about the baby shower she threw her).
Hi friends! Thanks for letting me pop in. I've been dying to tell you about my gorgeous sister. She's pregnant. With her first baby. And my first nephew. My other sisters and I hosted a baby shower for her just a few weeks ago to celebrate our impending bundle of boy. Want to hear about (and see!) some of the details? Good. Because I'm ready to share.
We knew the invitations would set the tone of the shower, so we chose a fresh, modern design from Paper Culture in a color scheme we knew the mom-to-be would love. To us, it conveyed that the shower would be cheerful and lighthearted and not-too-cheesy, which was exactly what we were going for.
The folks at Paper Culture were super nice to work with and kindly adjusted coloring and wording until we had the proof just right. They also offered an incredibly convenient Mail & Message service that allowed us to upload an Excel spreadsheet with the names and addresses of all our female friends and family so they could send the invitations for us. So long, writer's cramp! We loved how easy this free(!) offering this made our lives.
With the date set and the invitations sent, we got to planning. Games, food, decorations … We wanted everything to be just right for our nephew and his mama. We all flew in (from four states, no less) the day before the shower to transform our parents' basement into a shower-worthy environment. (Psst! As an editor at P&N, I had special permission to raid the prop closet for a few extra decorations for the party. Isn't that a fun perk?)
We confined ourselves to the basement so we could keep our work-in-progress under wraps while our mom-to-be hung out upstairs. It may not have been the most gorgeous shower setting (no offense, Mom and Dad!), but it was warm and familiar and special to us. Just the way it should be. Right before the party, we finally allowed our preggo sister downstairs to check out our handiwork. As you can see, she loved it! (Like her dress? You'll never believe where she got it!)
We kept the food simple, serving cheese and crackers, hummus and pitas, popcorn, veggie cups and, of course, a variety of pickles.
eeBoo alphabet cards, Bake It Pretty polkadot cups and popcorn bags, DwellStudio for Target tablecloth
For dessert, we indulged in the sinfully delicious Bailey's Cheesecakes. Mmm.
And to drink, we offered an array of juices (to be spiked with champagne by the nonpregnant gals), as well as cider and tea and sparkling lemonade.
Instead of group games, we set up three stations for guests to stop by as they mingled about. The first station asked guests to decorate a diaper. (We picked up some Seventh Generation diapers, which are not only earth-friendly, but also nice and plain for decorating.) Guests displayed their masterpieces on a clothesline to later be judged by the mom-to-be. Everyone loved the chance to play with the Sharpies. (Seriously, we all love to color, don't we?) And our baby-to-be now has a fun stash of diapers that will make at least the first week's worth of changes a bit more entertaining.
The second station asked guests to create name suggestions for our sister's bambino. (Mom and dad are still hemming and hawing over the best moniker for their little man!) The catch? They could only use the letters found in the parents' names. It was tricky—and entertaining. We read a name proposal between each present she opened and gave out prizes for the ladies who came up with the most creative combinations. (Throughout the party, prizes included stationery, fancy soaps and Mommy's Time Out and Daddy's Day Off wines. Fun!)
Thirdly (and we didn't capture this on camera, unfortunately!), we asked guests to write their best advice on a small card and tuck it into the pouch of a "days of the week" organizer, so our new mama would have words of wisdom for every adventure each day may bring. The priceless knowledge-filled (and occasionally humor-sprinkled) cards were sent home with our sister to pull out after her wee one makes his debut.
(Remember how the shower was held in the basement? We used a vintage bedspread from our grandma to disguise the air hockey table and turn it into a place for presents.)
Once everyone had had time to catch up with one another and partake in all the festivities, we got to opening presents. What does an editor at a prenatal magazine gift her expectant sister? Something timeless, something adorable and something practical—and all things I would want myself.
Something timeless: Uncle Goose French Alphabet Blocks
We both studied French in high school and enjoyed a week in Paris together last spring, so French alphabet blocks only seemed appropriate. Plus, they're of heirloom quality and will surely be passed down for generations to come.
Something adorable: 3 Sprouts Organic Storage Bin
These bins are just the cutest and are perfect, perfect, perfect as a tiny baby clothes hamper or stuffed animal storage. (I myself am the proud owner of the hippo!)
Something practical: BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light
My sister and I only live a few hours a way, but I want to ensure she visits often. To make overnight trips easy, I made certain she was equipped with the best travel bed around. It's super compact and sets up in 10 seconds or less. (We pulled it out of the box after the other guests had left and oohed and aahed over it for a good 15 minutes. It. Is. Awesome.)
(My sweet niece was really excited about the BabyBjorn travel crib too. Yay!)
We were so grateful to all the fine women in our lives who came to celebrate our sister and wish her well as she forays into motherhood. In hopes that the apple not fall far from the tree, guests each took home an apple with a paper leaf thanking them for coming.
Petit Collage wall decals, The Macbeth Collection letters
We had such a lovely time at the shower, just like you will at yours, I'm sure. Thank you for letting me share my sister's with you. It's your turn now! Leave a comment below or send me an email telling me all about your celebration. I can't wait to hear about it.
(Here I am with my sisters (and fabulous sister-in-law!) after the shower. Aren't they the cutest?)

Wrestling Places Six, Earns Third Overall At Strong Navy Invitational
The Princeton wrestling team made its final tournament of November its most impressive one of the early season, placing six wrestlers overall — including three in the finals — and earning third overall at the 2013 Navy Invitational.
Senior Garrett Frey (125), junior Adam Krop (141) and sophomore Abe Ayala (197) each made their respective finals for Princeton, which scored 101.5 points to defeat Kent State and several other squads. Big Ten power Wisconsin won the overall title with 164 points, while reigning EIWA runner-up Navy took second with 106.5 points, only five more than Princeton.
Sophomore Judd Ziegler (165) and freshman Brett Harner (174) both won their final matches to claim fifth place, while freshman Jordan Laster took sixth at 133.
"This was a really exciting day for us, placing third in this kind of field," head coach Chris Ayres said. "The guys worked hard all day and picked up some very impressive wins against good opponents. It's another step forward, but we all realize we still have a long way to go."
Frey made his season debut an impressive one, winning two matches by fall and then winning a 4-2 semifinal to reach the championship match at 125, though Wisconsin's Ryan Taylor pulled out the victory 9-4.
Krop, who took third at the season-opening Binghamton Open, moved up a spot on the podium, though an injury in the final limited his hopes of the top spot. The nation's 19th-ranked wrestler, Krop won his first four matches, including a 10-0 major decision over Wisconsin's Jesse Thielke, who was ranked one spot above Krop. He took on reigning EIWA champion Richard Durso in the final, but an early injury in the match forced Krop to default.
Ayala, who also placed in Binghamton, won three matches, including two close victories, to reach the 197 final. An 8-6 win the quarterfinal and an 11-8 win in the semifinal set up a showdown with 16th-ranked Phil Wellington of Ohio. Ayala kept the match close before finally falling by a 9-3 decision.
Harner won three matches in the championship draw, including one by fall, before a pair of losses left him in the fifth-place match. Harner bounced back with a technical fall to finish fifth, matching the place for Ziegler; Princeton's 165-pound representative at last year's EIWA championships had to take the longer consolation road, but he won five matches in that bracket to finish fifth.
Laster also made a strong run through the consolation draw, winning four straight to clinch a spot on the podium. In the same weight class, Princeton sophomore Chris Perez made his return since a torn ACL in February, 2012; Perez won his debut in overtime before falling in his next two matches.
You can see all of the brackets by clicking on the link above.
Princeton will return to the mats next Sunday in one of the great collegiate showcases of the year. The Tigers will take on EIWA rivals Drexel and Army at the 2013 Grapple at the Garden, held next Sunday morning at Madison Square Garden.

A crowd of roughly 450 people flocked to Modern Maturity in Dover for the 53rd annual Governor's Prayer Breakfast on Thursday morning, which coincided with the National Day of Prayer.
The theme for this year's breakfast was "We celebrate those who serve." Prayers and speeches were offered to honor military personnel, police officers and emergency service workers.
"Today is about coming together," said Gov. Jack Markell. "It's a joy to see people being brought together to focus on what matters,"
Prayers were offered from people of various faiths. Sardar Surender Singh Joneja, of the Sikh Society of Delaware offered the invocation; Col. Nathaniel McQueen Jr., superintendent of the Delaware State Police offered a prayer for the nation and the state; State Reps. Harvey Kenton (R-Milford) and William Carson (D-Smyrna) read scripture and Rev. Maribel Zaragoza of Maranatha Christian Church in Dover offered the benediction.
Musical performances were given by Olivia Boddicker, of St. Thomas More Academy, and Emily Elizabeth Foraker, a member of the Brandywine Harp Orchestra.
The guest speaker for the event was United States Marine Corps Chaplin Margaret Grun Kibben.
Markell focused on serving others in his remarks.
"All honest work is an opportunity for service," he said. "Whether we work quietly in an office or we are more engaged with others, we can find a spirit of service that engages more than our hands, more than our minds, even more than our hearts. We can employ our souls in what we do."

text: Like any business or household, revenues play a critical role for states in determining their levels of spending. Nearly every state is constrained by a balanced budget amendment requiring their general fund expenditures not to exceed revenues (though budget games have allowed them to relax this constraint considerably). When times are tough, many legislators who loathe cutting programs turn to higher taxes as a way to increase revenue. However, as economist Arthur Laffer has shown, higher taxes do not always increase revenue. Minnesota, for example, has been driving high-earners (and their tax dollars) out of the state with its' unfriendly tax climate. Understanding the dynamics of taxation and state revenues is essential for anyone who seeks solutions to state revenue problems; SBS is here to help.

I'm playing around with random map generation and what I want to do is:
- Input a command to generate a random map.
- A texture will be created resembling the generation, each pixel resembling each tile.
- A new window will pop-up, without removing the original one, that will contain the texture.
I know how to do this except for the last part. Would someone please tell me how to create a new window and draw a texture to this window?

Dr. Wallach starts the show discussing some of the history of medicine. Citing a story of how centuries ago herbalists were burned at the stake as witches. Telling the story of Dr. Semmelweis who was a pioneer in antiseptic medicine. Whose ideas were rejected at the time and he was put into a mental institution where he later died. Outlining his own story of how he was fired for discovering that cystic fibrosis is a nutritional deficiency during pregnancy.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article on a growing pattern of doctors and nurses being fired for whistle blowing on overuse of tests and procedures. The Mayo Clinic recently found that doctor burnout rate is at 46% due to hospital mergers and a disconnect between those setting policy and those providing care.
Wendy has several health challenges including breast cancer, restless leg syndrome, IBS and hypertension.
Greg has questions concerning his mother who has been diagnosed with a urinary tract infection.
Bonnie has a friend diagnosed with Bells palsy.
Julie's mom has several health challenges including atrial fibrulation, hypertension, congestive heart failure and obesity.

We own other snaps circuits sets and love them. This one unfortunately has a design flaw. The disk launcher motor works, but it does not shoot out the disks. We tried 3 different models and they all had the same non working disk shooter. On a positive note, national geographic has been wonderful about the return and refund.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
From National Geographic:Thank you for your feedback. We regret that this item did not live up to your expectations. We are looking into the situation, and we thank you for bringing it to our attention.

THE dome on Darwen Tower has been vandalised just months after it was put in place.
The tower's dome blew off during high winds in November 2010.
Apprentice engineers at Darwen metal fabricators WEC designed, produced and replaced the dome free of charge.
But now, the dome has been vandalised, with names and obscenities scratched into the paintwork and marker pen used to write on the windows.
Even a plaque commemorating the donation of the new dome had been written on by the vandals.
A spokesman for WEC said officials will be looking at the damage today to see what can be done.
Darwen Town Council mayor Coun Paul Browne was furious.
He said: "The people who have done this are real scum. It is a disgrace.
"Whoever's done that wants hauling in front of a magistrate.
"To think young apprentices made this, and it has been defaced by what appears to be young people of this town.
"It is unbelieveable. It is disgusting. I don't understand what people get out of doing this."
Kris Mercer, training instructor at the WEC Welding & Engineering Training Academy said: "We are very disappointed that after all the efforts made by young local apprentices in restoring Darwen Tower, people could show so little respect to the local area by vandalizing the new dome.
"It doesn't really come as a surprise as there was already a lot of graffiti at the top of the tower.
"But it is a shame that it has come to this only two months after it was reopened to the public"
Town councillor Stephen Potter, who is in charge of the newly formed Friends of Darwen Tower group, said: "It is just totally mindless. It is such a shame.
"When you think about all the work and effort that has gone into this and a few mindless morons have wrecked it."
Couns Browne and Potter have both appealed for anyone with information to report the vandals to the police.
The 900kg traffic grey dome was replaced by a helicopter on Friday, January 13 in a painstaking operation.
It was built by the apprentices at the WEC company as part of their training.

C'mon guys. Give us a break. We're Salt Lake magazine. We root for the Utes. We're not Golden Bear magazine. But we don't hate Cal, as many of you imply in your breathlessly indigent letters. How could we? We just got to the conference. And actually, the way that the Utes are playing, we're pretty much afraid of the Golden Bears.
"Almost all Utah elementary school kids know 12-1=11!" yell writes Mike K. Mitchell from his iPad. "You left out The University of California, Berkeley. CAL! Probably one of, if not the top, public university in the nation and my alma mater."
And Berkelely alum Max Chang points out:
"As one may surmise, there are 12 not 11 teams in the PAC 12. Cal is one of the original members of the PAC-8 and famous for perhaps the greatest play in college football history, "The Play," in the 1982 Big Game against arch rival, Stanford. In fact, in celebration of the millennium, ESPN declared it the #1 sports play for the entire 20th Century. Cal first sported a football team in 1886 and is one of the storied traditions in college football."
Well to Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Chang and all of your classmates who joined in the pile on, we do feel pretty stupid. Here it is our our first ever PAC-12 story and we demote it to the PAC-11. But we hope you'll forgive us. After years of playing in the desert that is the Mountain West Conference, we're new to writing about schools we may actually have heard of. So please accept our humble apologies and know that we will make sure that Cal Berkeley, will make it into any round-up of PAC-12 teams in our magazine. Do you see how big that Cal logo is up there? It is super huge.
So there you go. And, the Utes will travel to face Cal on Oct. 22 in San Francisco. Don't forget.
And here are two home games not to miss at Rice-Eccles (in case you live under a rock)November 12: UCLA—One of the most storied teams in college sports. Sure, a lot of that is for basketball, but this should be a very entertaining game, and it'll be fun to see the sky-blue jerseys and golden helmets of the Bruins bouncing around the Utes' home field. Don't hurt us.
November 26: Colorado—Fellow Pac-12 newbies the Buffaloes hit town for the new annual season finale. Will this turn into a rivalry? If so, it could start here.
University of Utah Coach Kyle Whittingham would never forget the Cal Golden Bears. Never.

July 4, 2005 AeroVironment (AV) has successfully completed the world's first liquid hydrogen powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight tests. In doing so, the fifty-foot wingspan prototype Global Observer aircraft accomplished a major milestone in AV's unmanned High-Altitude Long-Endurance (HALE) development and continued the life work of one of the greatest inventors the world has ever known – Paul MacCready. MacCready founded AeroVironment after achieving the world's first human powered flight and the world's first solar powered flight more than a quarter of a century ago. The prototype flight was the last major milestone in the company's HALE UAV technology development and demonstrates the practicality and operational robustness of the Global Observer system. AV's Global Observer HALE platform will be able to operate at 65,000 feet altitude for a week at a time with a payload of up to 1,000 pounds. Using only two aircraft in rotation, this will provide seamless communication relay and remote sensing systems at breakthrough affordability. Some of the applications for the new system include persistent, global, near-space loitering capability for defence, low-cost, rapidly-deployable telecommunications infrastructure, hurricane/storm tracking, weather monitoring, environmental monitoring, agriculture optimisation and aerial imaging/mapping capabilities.Read More

Delegates at the Republican National Convention Tuesday night may have been clinging to Ann Romney's words, but many members of the fashion flock were analyzing her red Oscar de la Renta dress.
The New York Times reports Romney's silk taffeta knee-length choice—estimated to cost between $2,000 and $2,500—for her speech at the Tampa, Florida, event was deemed a pretty and "safe" selection.
Dresses by de la Renta are popular for first ladies. Nancy Reagan, Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush all wore styles by the designer, according to the newspaper, although Michelle Obama has not.
So did Romney's choice of dress get your vote? Leave a comment below!

Perhaps the most interesting victor in yesterday's primaries is Kamala Devi Harris, the popular (stiletto-elbowed) district attorney of San Francisco. A law-and-order liberal, she is now, by virtue of her primary victory, on course to become the first African-American and Asian-American woman elected attorney general in California. Here's our in-depth report on Harris, published in 2008 when she was campaigning for her old friend, Barack Obama.
Kamala Harris skitters up an icy walkway, plants herself on the porch of a modest wood-frame house, and raps firmly on the door. An elderly black woman opens it without unhooking the chain, eyeing Harris through a narrow opening. "Are you going to vote for Barack Obama tonight?" Then, seeing that the door is about to close, Harris switches gears. "I'm very persuasive," she coos in a voice suddenly soft and sugary. "I'm the first African-American district attorney elected in California. I came a long way to talk to you." The woman hesitates, just long enough for Harris to slip some campaign literature through the door, along with a phone number in case this voter needs a ride to the polling place. "You call me, now," Harris says, at once deferential and familiar, like a dutiful daughter checking on her ailing mother. Ticking off the woman's name on her clipboard, Harris navigates her way back down the sidewalk, where she spots a young man scraping his windshield. In a split second she locks on her new target. "Hey, you going to vote?"
We are in a predominantly black neighborhood on the east side of Des Moines on a frigid Tuesday afternoon, hours before the Iowa caucus. Harris is moving as though she's got a fire to put out. When the windshield guy mumbles something about being too busy, she raises her eyebrows in mock disapproval and puts one mittened hand on her hip, pointing her clipboard with the other. "I got things to do too," she teases, effortlessly dialing up the street in her cadence as she slips into scolding-auntie mode. "You think I don't have enough things to do as district attorney of San Francisco?" The young man, grinning sheepishly, is by now getting into his car, escaping from this petite, down-coated stranger. But Harris manages to get in a last word. "It's one night in a lifetime," she calls through his window. "People fought and died for the right to vote, you know?"
All that chutzpah, charm, and relentlessness have propelled Harris, 43, through an impressive legal career and into the rising-star ranks of the national Democratic party. Like Barack Obama, a close friend from law school circles, Kamala Harris has an irresistible, superlative-laced narrative that's all about defying conventions.
The daughter of Berkeley civil rights activists, Harris was raised by a forceful single mother and bucked her family's liberal sensibilities to become a prosecutor. In her first run at elective office, the 2003 race for DA, she thumped her former boss, a man almost 30 years her senior, to become the first female, the first African-American, and the first Indian-American chief law enforcement officer in the most liberal city of the most populous state. She has displayed intellect, charisma, and biracial glamour (her mother emigrated from India as a young woman; her father, from Jamaica) as well as an appetite for risk and the strength to withstand flak.

The first half of the week features a show by a returning, conquering heroine of adult-pop, and one of the hottest young British bands going right now.
NORAH JONES, RED BUTTE GARDEN, Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., Sold Out
When Norah Jones stopped at Red Butte Garden when she was touring in support of her monster-selling, multiple-Grammy-winning breakthrough album Come Away With Me, it was a big moment for the venue. Jones' appearance led to tons of new people becoming members of the Garden in order to swoop on some tickets, and probably showed the Powers That Be that current, hot artists would be worth adding to the mix of old favorites that typically make up the Red Butte lineup. I went to that first show, and it was a bit sleepy for my taste–even the AC/DC cover was mellow–but Jones has gone on to make increasingly interesting music, collaborating with the likes of Danger Mouse and Willie Nelson, and doing country covers in a band called The Little Willies. Her latest album, Little Broken Hearts, should get a lot of attention at Tuesday's show. Cory Chisel and the Wandering Songs open up. The show is sold out, but there will be scalpers outside the amphitheatre.
MUMFORD & SONS, SALTAIR, Wednesday, 8 p.m., $40
Still a month away from the release of their new album, Babel, English folkies Mumford & Sons come to town for one of the most-anticipated shows of the summer, at perhaps the most unlikely venue imaginable. The band has the sort of rabid fan following that American traditionalists the Avett Brothers enjoy, and they will be packing the Saltair space for sure. It's been a while since I've been tempted by a show at the venerable old warehouse by the lake–it's one of the least fan-friendly places to see a show in SLC, between the drive to Magna, being forced to pay to park and the horrible sightlines from the upstairs bar, but I heard a rumor this show might be outside on the beach. No word of that on the Saltair Web site, but lets hope it's true. Nathaniel Rateliff and Slow Club open the all-ages show.

TEMPE, Ariz. -
In a match up of two top-25 Pac-12 contenders, the No. 22 Arizona State Sun Devils (15-2; 5-1 Pac-12) women's tennis team fell to the No. 5 Trojans of USC on Friday afternoon by a score of 7-0 at the Whiteman Tennis Center in Tempe, Ariz.
"No doubt the better team won, that team played a lot better than we did today and they deserved to win," ASU Head Coach Sheila McInerney said. "I wouldn't be surprised if that team won the National Title; they're good, they're deep, they make you play, and they're everything you really want in a team."
The loss suffered at the hands of USC marked the first loss in Pac-12 play, the first loss at home in Tempe, Ariz., and just the second loss of the season -- the first coming in late January against Miami. The match up against the Trojans signified the opening of the back-half of conference play, undoubtedly the toughest five games of the season.
"In some ways it's sort of a wake up call for us -- when I say that I mean there is an obvious difference between USC and some of the other teams on our schedule," McInerney said.
After losing the doubles point, Arizona State was unable to secure any sets, leading to the eventual 7-0 shutout.
"They just played lights out, they didn't give us an inch or even budge at all. Could we have played better? Probably, but with anything you learn from it and get better for tomorrow," McInerney said.
The Sun Devils will continue conference play tomorrow afternoon against UCLA at noon in Tempe, Ariz. Follow thesundevils.com and Like Arizona State Women's Tennis on Facebook for all the latest details.

Executive Director of BikeDenver Steps Down
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Piep Van Heuven
Earlier this summer Piep Van Heuven, the Executive Director, stepped down from her position at Bike Denver after a very successful run. This article is as much a history lesson in BikeDenver as it is an exit farewell. Enjoy and good luck Piep!
From Bike Denver
It was early in the morning in mid-June when my cellphone rang in my tent in Telluride. My friend Elizabeth from the Bikes Belong Coalition was calling to find out if I was enjoying my time on the Bicycle Tour of Colorado. She also wanted to tell me Bikes Belong needed a Denver-based coordinator to help launch the first large-scale bike sharing project at the 2008 Democratic National Convention (DNC)… and that's the connection that brought me to the forefront of the movement to increase bicycling in Denver and to BikeDenver.
I was a long-time recreational bicyclist but that summer I got a crash-course on urban bicycling. It was amazing to work with the DNC organizers, City officials, project sponsors and bicycle advocates from Denver and beyond – everyone was so excited to showcase Denver, and the energy and excitement about introducing bike sharing to the United States was contagious! Of course the project was a fantastic success, and the City was filled with people on bicycles. I love to point back to this moment in time, not just because it was my introduction to the bicycle advocacy, but also because I believe it was a watershed moment for Denver's bicycle movement. That's because the presence of so many bicycles during the DNC did two very significant things: it firmly branded Denver as a "bike-friendly" city and it legitimized bicycling as a means of transportation. We saw so many warm and powerful visual images demonstrating how well bicycles fit in the heart of our City. The positive media and public response to the project helped focus the thinking of then-Mayor John Hickenlooper and others. Shortly after the DNC he announced plans to launch the nation's first large-scale permanent bike sharing system in the county. It was a great turning point for Denver, and for BikeDenver, too.
At the same time, BikeDenver leaders also were looking forward and preparing for growth by hiring the organization's first professional staff. Though BikeDenver was formed in 2001, it took years of careful stewardship and countless volunteer hours to prepare for this important step. By now I was hooked! I agreed to start work part-time, from my kitchen table, as BikeDenver's first Executive Director in October, 2008. What a ride it's been! In five years we've made quantum leaps and established a strong foundation that will support our next important growth phase.
When I take a look back now, it's fun to see all the progress! In 2008, Denver had a great recreational trial system but less than 50 miles of on-street bike markings. BikeDenver had less than $20,000 in the bank and few funding sources. We had one staff member, a small but very dedicated following, less than 100 members, few connections with City officials, and a couple of advocacy wins under our belt.
Fast-forward to 2013. Today Denver has over 100 miles of bike markings, and BikeDenver is approaching a quarter-million dollar budget with broad support from individuals, businesses, foundations, government entities and fundraising events. As we begin another event-filled summer season, we can rely on three paid staff members, office and event volunteers, dedicated support and strong governance from our Board of Directors, 3,000+ supporters, nearly 500 members, a strong brand and media presence, powerful partner organizations, high-level relationships with City officials, advocacy advancements and some huge wins like the Department of Public Works Complete Streets Policy, scheduled construction of the Colorado I-25 Access Bridge, the launch of Denver's first ciclovia, and the City's recent commitment to build protected bike lanes.
BikeDenver is poised for further success in the future. It will champion the need for better policy and increased funding to support a safer, more welcoming environment for people on bikes. Specifically, we'd like to see a network of protected bike lanes to increase safety and ridership, a maintenance program for our bicycle network that includes plowing our bike lanes, the on-street bike parking opportunities that local businesses are calling for, safer bike accommodation on bridges, and better signage. On the policy side, we've identified a need for a new Bicycle Master Plan to focus current Citywide efforts, a comprehensive multi-year public education campaign, safety laws like "Yield Stop" that help traffic move more smoothly and safely, and stronger laws to protect "vulnerable users" on foot or on bikes. We are also calling for increased funding to support additional bicycle and pedestrian planning staff in the department of Public Works.
From my seat here in mid-May at the BikeDenver office, it feels strange to look ahead and look back as both the organization and I am incredibly proud of BikeDenver's past accomplishments and optimistic about the future for BikeDenver and bicycling in Denver. How can we fail, when there is so much great energy and commitment to make our communities better via this simple and beautiful element – the bicycle? The answer is we can't! So thanks for the great ride, Denver! It isn't often in life that we get to make real change in our community. I know so many of you are responsible for just that – by lending your time, energy, support and talent to the effort make Denver a better place to ride a bike.
I'm honored to have had the chance to work alongside you to help BikeDenver grow to become Denver's premier bicycle advocacy organization.
Ride On!

More than 450 ladies slipped into their stilettos and joined together at the Coral Gables Country Club for the 2nd Annual Wine, Women & Shoes presented by Elizabeth Spill for a day of shopping and fun with the common purpose of supporting world-class pediatric healthcare. The event raised nearly $450,000 to benefit the children and families at Miami Children's Hospital.

At our table were Tina and Craig, the owners of Diamond Peaks Heli-Ski based in Powder Mountain. Very nice people. We chatted about local heli-skiing, the Wasatch Powderbirds based out of Snowbird and Diamond Peaks latest endeavor to heli-shuttle Park City guests over to Powder for an extra $1800. Yikes. I think I'd drive the hour. Gas is cheaper. But as Tina pointed out, money doesn't matter to the rich folk at St Regis, Glenwild and The Montage (places where they'll land the chopper this winter).
I turned in relatively early so I could meet up with my friend Bonnie at Snowbird. I had run into Jeremy Nobis, Jim Conway, and Flying Brian Beck and they all recommended it. Really? The warm temps hadn't turned everything rock hard? Nope, still soft and fluffy.
Friday night I made it up to the Grand Summit Lodge to check out the whole buzz on this Chairity Auction to support the Kimball Art Center. This summer The Canyons leveled the Golden Eagle lift (originally installed in 1968) and took an offer over to the non-profit KAC. We'll donate 40 chairs for you to do whatever with. The art center then offered the chairs to 20 organizations and 20 artists to create something unique to be auctioned off - on eBay, at a silent auction and during a live auction. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds would go to the chair's creator's chosen charity and 75 percent goes to the Kimball Art Center. Let's just say KAC should be psyched. It was a fantastic evening of food, live music from Bryon Friedman, another open bar and lots of money being spent. Hopefully some of these chairs will make it around town like those silly Mooses (remember the one at the Tanger Outlets?). At least you'll be able to sit on these.

So, yeah, you've got a muffin top—even though you jog three times a week and pop in a P90X workout when you get the chance. All that working out makes you hungry—for muffins. It's cool. A new study says you really can be fit and fat.
"It is well known that obesity is linked to a large number of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular problems and cancer," Dr. Francisco Ortega, the study's lead author, says in a statement reported by CNN. "However, there appears to be a subset of obese people who seem to be protected from obesity-related metabolic complications."
Researchers looked at the body fat of participants and found that almost half of the 30 percent considered obese were "metabolically healthy," according to the network. The obese participants who were metabolically healthy had no greater risk of dying than normal-weight participants who were metabolically healthy.
"Our study, together with previous literature, strongly suggests that a better cardiorespiratory fitness will make you healthier regardless of your weight status," Ortega tells CNN. "These findings clearly support the notion that doing exercise and improving fitness might be an effective public health tool for fighting against obesity … Exercise benefits everyone, regardless of fitness and fatness level. So exercise should be encouraged by doctors to all the patients."
Great. Now who wants to meet up at Starbucks after today's workout? We hear pumpkin muffins are back on the menu.

Unbeaten Men's Squash Eyes 18th Ivy League Championship This Weekend
Princeton has its sights set on a 17th Ivy League championship this weekend, though there is still some work to be done. The biggest test in the league season will come Friday night, when a dangerous Cornell team will host the Tigers at the Belkin Squash Courts.
The top-ranked Princeton Tigers need just one more Ivy win to clinch at least a share of the league crown, and a sweep of both Cornell and Columbia will earn Princeton an outright title. Besides going for their 17th titles overall, the Tigers are competing for their ninth title over the last 14 seasons.
Princeton is 8-0 on the season, 4-0 in the Ivy League, and has won 15 straight matches dating back to last season. The Tigers have taken on some of the nation's best teams, including a 5-4 home victory over No. 3 Harvard and a 6-3 road win at No. 4 Yale last weekend.
Cornell is 13-3 overall, 3-2 in the Ivy League, and has produced some impressive results over the last few weeks. The Big Red jumped a spot in the rankings with a 6-3 home win over Rochester, and it took three matches on the road against No. 3 Harvard in a 6-3 Crimson win.
The Big Red is led by senior Nick Sachvie, who met Princeton's Todd Harrity in the 2011 national individual final. Harrity won that title, but Sachvie has looked strong this season with victories over Trinity, Yale and Rochester.
On Sunday, Princeton will take on Columbia in the Ivy League finale at the Jadwin Squash Courts. The Lions are in their second year as an Ivy League program, but they are close to breaking into the national Top 10. The highlight of Sunday's match will come at the No. 1 spot, as Harrity will take on Coulmbia's Ramit Tandon, a 2012 national finalist. Tandon knocked Harrity out of the CSA semifinal last season.
Princeton will take on Western Ontario Saturday at the Belkin Squash Courts.

May 17, 2013
LOS ANGELES - UCLA Head Women's Basketball Coach Cori Close announced today the signing of Luiana Livulo to a National Letter of Intent to attend UCLA in the fall of 2013.
Livulo, a 6-foot-3-inch, center out of Lisbon, Portugal (Escola Secondaria Rainha D. Amelia), will give the Bruins some help in the frontcourt as UCLA graduate three post players this season. She is transferring from Northwest Florida State College in Niceville, Fla., where she played for head coach Patrick Harrington.
Livulo joins the early signing class, which consisted of two highly-rated high school standouts - Savanna Trapp (Esko, Minn./Esko HS) and Dominique Williams (Phoenix, Ariz./St. Mary's HS).
"I'm really excited about Luiana Livulo joining our basketball program and family," Close said. "She is going to be a major puzzle piece for us as we move forward next year, trying to build on our success from last season. She is long and athletic and a very versatile player. She is a great rebounder and has unlimited potential on the offensive end."
Livulo helped lead the Raiders to a 27-5 overall record and a share of the Panhandle Conference title with a 9-3 mark, the Raiders' first conference title in 17 years. Livulo was named to the first team All-Panhandle Conference and averaged over 13 points and two blocks per game in her last four conference outings. She also helped NWF gain its first appearance in the NJCAA National Tournament in 18 years. Seeded 11th as an at-large entry, the Raiders advanced to the quarterfinals, before falling to Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College on a pair of late free throws (73-71). Livulo scored 19 points in that quarterfinal contest.
"She was a difference maker in the Junior College National Tournament," Close added. "And she was the difference why her team went farther than it ever has before. She has the personality to be a charismatic force on this campus and is a good student. She also has the athleticism to help us continue our climb to consistent national prominence."
Livulo has plenty of international playing experience as well, growing up in Lisbon, Portugal. While in her native country, Livulo played on Portugal's 16-and-Under, 18-and-Under and 20-and-Under National Teams. Playing completely in Europe, Livulo's first playing experience in the United States was last season at Northwest Florida.
Livulo is excited about her new opportunity to play basketball at UCLA and in the Pac-12 Conference.
"I think UCLA will be a great opportunity for me to grow as a basketball player," Livulo said. "I just feel like UCLA is the best place for me. I'm looking forward to playing in the Pac-12. The visit to Los Angeles made it very clear to me where I was supposed to be. I loved the coaches and the players."

|8/14/2013 Climbed this route with Exum guides. We left base camp at the saddle at 4:15 am. Climbing the first several pitches in the dark was interesting. The Step Across in the dark sure got the blood pumping. We started seeing our first signs of light as we entered the Wind Tunnel. We reached the summit a little before 8 am and enjoyed a little over a half hour of ideal conditions on top. Our descent was by way of the 100' rappel and the OS route. Awesome experience.

|It was my first time leading climbing. Needless to say it was awsome! Wall Street was quite a rush, as well as the V pitch! I recently climbed it again on September 1, 2013, and once again had a blast!. We did the route car to car. My foot was killing me on the descent however, and it took me all night to get back to the car.

|After only an hour of sleep thanks to the wind blasting through the Moraine all night we managed to make it up with amazing weather. The Leap of Faith off Wall Street gets your attention. Interesting route finding (we joined with a team that had done it before, but still had to do a little route finding). We went too far right and missed the V pitch, but made up for it with the fun "boulder move". Great mountain, route and day. Can't wait to come back...

|Not really knowing where we were going, Mike Weber and I solo downclimbed the Upper Exum after climbing the Smith Otter Body route on the south side. We had intended to do the Exum but got off track above the caves (no trail back then) and ended up on the Teepe Glacier so we picked route 11 that isn't described in Ortenburger's condensed guide and just went for what looked like the best way up. Underestimating the scale of the Grand, we spent an unplanned bivy at 13,000'. On our way down the next morning a climbing ranger told us that the route (The Smith) had not had a repeat ascent in over 20 years. We came back two years later and soloed the Upper Exum from the bottom up.

The Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife is asking that anyone who may witness dumping, vandalism, violations of fish and wildlife regulations or other illegal activities near the Nanticoke Wildlife Area near Laurel to report such activities.
In recent months, Nanticoke Wildlife Area has been plagued by a variety of violations including: dumping trash, furniture, appliances, scrap tires, yard waste and more. An 8-foot tall granite monument commemorating Captain John Smith's historic 1608 expedition and mapping of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries was pulled off of its base at Phillips Landing, resulting in $2,500 in damages. This incident resulted in four arrests. Violators' penalties included probation, community service, and paying fines.
"We encourage the public to enjoy our Fish and Wildlife areas and the unique outdoor experiences they offer. However, state wildlife areas are public lands with a conservation mission – and the Division of Fish and Wildlife's mission is to protect and conserve these areas for future generations," said David Saveikis, director of the Division of Fish and Wildlife. "As stewards of this land for Delaware, we cannot allow a few people who do not respect this mission to ruin things for the many who do."
For more information or to report illegal activities call (800) 523-3336.
