Editor's Note: Located at the center of the Washington State University campus is the WSU Veterans Memorial. On the memorial are engraved the names of Washington State students, faculty, and staff who served their country in violent conflicts that took place far from the peace and tranquility of the Palouse. Each name represents a life sacrificed either in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, or the Global War on Terrorism.
Behind each name is a story.
This feature series conveys the stories connected with four names on the memorial. All had an association with Washington State Athletics in some manner. With Memorial Day approaching, the series is not only written to honor the four Washington State students who gave their lives for their country, it is dedicated to each name on the memorial, and to their stories.

Part II: The second installment focuses on a war that has become overlooked by many people today. The advancement of time may diminish the memories of the country's first major conflict of the 20th Century, but not its significance. This is the story of one Washington State College student-athlete who left the school as a national champion, and died a national hero.
A Sacrifice Not To Be Forgotten
By Jason Krump
In April, an anniversary significant to the history of the United States occurred, though its importance may have gone unnoticed to many people.
April 6, 1917, marked the 90th anniversary of the United States' entry into World War I.
World War I was known shortly after its conclusion as the "the war to end all wars," but it proved to be the first of many conflicts the United States was involved in during the 20th Century.
"Some people have referred to it as the peace to end all peace," said Eli Paul, Museum Director, National World War I Museum, located in Kansas City, Mo.
Chances are, for the majority of individuals, when the term "World War" is thought of, the Roman numeral "II" immediately comes to mind as what to place after it.
"Obviously, World War II overshadowed World War I, especially in this country," Paul said. "It lasted longer, involved more men under arms, and there was more change that was undertaken in the country on the home front."
As each anniversary of the country's entry into the "Great War," as World War I was known, passes to memory, so does the tangible link the United States has to the first major conflict of the 20th Century.
Nearly 4.7 million American servicemen and women fought in World War I (45,154 who served from the state of Washington). Today, four are still living.
With each World War I veteran's passing, the stories they possess go with them.
When the war ended, Nov. 11, 1918, a total of 116,516 Americans had lost their lives; 42 had attended Washington State College.
This is one story of the 42.
A National Champion
Ivan Price graduated from Pullman High School in the spring of 1915. An all-around athlete, Price participated in football, basketball and track. He helped Pullman High to the football and basketball county championships during his senior year.
In the fall of the same year Price entered Washington State College. During his first year at WSC, Price played on the freshman basketball team. He was ineligible for conference contests because of a newly adopted freshman rule, but he did see action in some non-conference varsity games. For the season, Price played in 10 games averaging 3.8 points a contest for a Cougar squad that went 18-3 and captured the Northwest Conference Championship under head coach J. Fred `Doc' Bohler.
As good as the 1916 season was, the next season would be even better, so good in fact that to this day it is the greatest season in Washington State basketball history.
Starting all 26 games during the 1916-17 season, Price averaged 11.5 points playing right forward for the Crimson and Gray (the teams would not be known as Cougars until 1919).
Price was not the only player to start all the games as depth was a luxury that Coach Bohler did not enjoy. The quartet of Roy Bohler (captain and brother of the coach), Ed Copeland, Bob Moss, and Al Sorenson started all 26 games along with Price. Glenn Glover was the only other letterman on the team, seeing action in 12 games.
During the season, Price demonstrated his toughness that no doubt served him well in the military.
With the lack of depth, injuries to the starting line-up could have destroyed any hope of WSC repeating the success of the previous season. The injuries did arrive, but the vigor of the team shone through.
Starting the season with an 8-0 record, the Crimson and Gray went into a key stretch of back-to-back games at Washington. With two wins already secured against its in-state rivals, WSC needed just one victory over Washington to capture the "State Championship."
WSC went into the Washington series anything but healthy. Bohler's knee was injured, Moss was battling the flu, and an old sprain was bothering Price, so much so that the Daily Evergreen (the WSC student newspaper) reported that Price was seen hobbling around the WSC campus on a cane.
However, the injuries did not deter any of the starters from playing. No substitutions were needed for WSC as the starters played every minute of both games. The Crimson and Gray clinched the State title with a 31-24 win and followed that up with a 26-14 triumph to build its record to 10-0.
After improving to 15-0, WSC traveled south to face California for back-to-back games. In the first game, WSC led 11-8 at half, but California came back and handed WSC its first, and -- as it turned out -- only loss of the season, 28-20.
A portion of the Evergreen's account of the game read, "game was one of the roughest seen on the California floor . . . time was taken out five times for injuries . . . Price suffered a severely wrenched shoulder."
Yet, as was the theme all season, the Crimson and Gray responded to adversity. WSC avenged the loss with a 32-29 victory over California the following day. This win ensured that if the Crimson and Gray could make it through the rest of its conference schedule unscathed, it would clinch the Pacific Coast Conference title.
The team did finish the rest of the season without another blemish. WSC completed the 1916-17 campaign 25-1 and 8-1 in Pacific Coast Conference play. It was a record even more remarkable considering the team played 18 of its 26 games on the road. In addition, at season's end, Price was named to the All-Northwest and All-Pacific Coast teams.
Not only did WSC defend its Northwest Conference title, the school claimed the first Pacific Coast Conference championship. Nearly four decades later, the team was named national champions by the Helms Athletic Foundation. Today, Washington State is listed as Helms' 1917 national champions in the NCAA Men's Basketball Records Book.
One of the greatest all-around athletes ever connected with the school
Prospects looked bright for WSC entering the 1917-18 season. Coming off two Northwest Conference titles, a third consecutive crown was likely, given that three of the five starters would be returning. Roy Bohler, who had graduated, and Moss, who had enlisted with the service in July, were the only players lost from the 1916-17 team. Copeland, Price, and Sorenson, who was named captain to replace the departed Bohler, were with the team when practice started heading into the 1917-18 season.
But with the arrival of April 6, 1917, everything had changed.
The United States' entry into World War I, which had been ongoing in Europe since the summer of 1914, altered the lives of millions of Americans, including those on the Washington State basketball team. The war would take Price and Copeland, leaving Sorenson as the lone representative of the WSC team that played in the 1916-17 season.
Price enlisted in the service with the Marines Corps and trained at Mare Island, Calif., San Diego, Calif., and Quantico, Va. before sailing overseas in August 1918.
The reason or reasons why Price chose to enlist is not immediately known, but the answer as to why Americans choose to fight in the conflict can be found in the letters and diaries of the soldiers, according to Paul.
"Knowing everything that people did about this horrible warfare on the Western Front," Paul said, "why would Ivan Price have entered that?
"Even though there was so much known about the horrors of this war, many Americans went into it looking for a great adventure," Paul continued. "This was a huge adventure for them and they wanted to get in it; they wanted to see the world and what everybody was talking about. There were some very strong patriotic feelings as well to protect democracy, save democracy, and save civilization in some respects."
Price fought in the Meuse (myûz)-Argonne offensive in France, the biggest operation and victory of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) during the war. A total of 26,277 AEF soldiers were killed in the battle that ran from Sept. 26 through the signing of the armistice that ended the war, Nov. 11, 1918.
Price was one of the 26,277.
He was killed in action, Nov. 3, 1918, just eight days before the end of the war. His final resting place is at Plot A, Row 21, Grave 27 at the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery in Romagne, France.
The Jan. 8, 1919 edition of the Evergreen delivered the sad news to the Pullman campus.
Part of the tribute said that Price was one of the greatest all-around athletes ever connected with the school who had "reached the zenith of his remarkable basketball career, and was a potent factor in the winning of both the Northwest and Pacific Coast Conference titles for his college."
It also described Price as a "class of man who would ungrudgingly give his last penny to his friend and take chances on his own comfort, and as a result of his unselfish disposition and his spirit of whole heartedness his circle of friends included the entire community."
Price's name is inscribed along with 41 other names on the World War I Memorial. The plaque, a gift from the class of 1920, was originally displayed in Bryan Hall. It was moved and placed at the north end of the WSU Veterans Memorial.
Not the end but, tragically, just the beginning
America's entry into World War I proved to be the decisive factor that tipped the scales in favor of the Allied Powers (United States, France, Russia, United Kingdom, Italy) over the Central Powers (Austria-Hungary, Germany and the Ottoman Empire).
World War I officially ended when Germany signed the armistice at 11 a.m., Nov. 11, 1918 -- the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
Though World War I had ended, history would prove it a temporary halt to hostilities. The world would be overwhelmed in an even bloodier conflict two decades later.
"Historians really look at both World Wars as one long war with an intermission in between," Paul said.
Therefore, what meaning can be drawn from World War I?
"The significance of World War I, some historians say, was it changed our world more in some ways than World War II did because we are still feeling the effects and see the effects of World War I now," Paul said. "When you pick up a newspaper today you see that that the hot spots of the world are really the hot spots of the world from 1914 to 1918."
"The legacy of World War I was that very little got settled as a result of that war."

ZF-12242: Disabling translator in Zend_Form_Select only for options
It often occurs that the options for the "Select" element come from the database filled in there through a web interface. This means they should not be automatically translated. Disabling translator for this element solves the problem but in turns it requires you to manually translate all other element's properties like label, description and all validator messages. It would be nice to have a metod like setDisableTranslatorForOptions(boolean) which would turn translation mechanism for the options only.
Hi Przemysław, can you help use with a patch and some unit tests? There are more than 200 open issues for Zend_Form and the component maintainer Christian no longer works for the Zend Framework project. Before you start, you must send the CLA to Zend.
Thanks and greetings Frank

Comments about Puerto Rico Adventure Map:
First off when traveling to Puerto Rico you will find this map to be the only one to use. The map in the back of the most popular guide to Puerto Rico doesn't even come close to the detail of the Nat Geo map and forget about getting something at a car rental agency at the airport. The most helpful tip I can give to any traveler is that the street signs are almost non-existent so follow your path using the highway numbers as well as the road numbers.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This was such a helpful road map to help us get around the island, make choices and decisions. It was very clear. We are glad we brought it with us as we did not see any available there at all. Very easy to read.

ZF-4067: addTranslation is recursively adding version control folders to current translations
The function addTranslation() in Zend_Translate_Adapter recursively walks through all files (and folders) in the given folder. Immagine a structure like:
translation/lang_de.csv translation/lang_it.csv translation/.svn/text-base/lang_de.csv.svn-base translation/.svn/text-base/lang_it.csv.svn-base
You will keep struggling with your translation without realizing that the problem is not the code / translation you are working on. Happened to one of our developers, drove him crazy ;-)
IMO Zend_Translate should either ignore well-known version management folders (like .svn) - or at least allow to pass some kind of regex for custom filters.
Kind regards, Thomas Gelf
This is how I fixed it on our projects - should be extended to look also for other version control system folders...
Cheers, Thomas Gelf
NB: Adding a filter to ignore directories starting with "." (dot) would also be a solution.
Not a bug but a feature request
Ack. However, even if it is not really a bug: it's a mess for who is using SVN or any similar VCS. And as every developer should do so...
...I consider it at least a misbehaviour :-p
Also not really a misbehaviour. All found files are integrated... if you are using SVN at your customer (never heard of such) you should simply not use directory search.
You could add the wished files manually. And you could also add svn ignore to the translation files so they will not be svned and store the original ones in another location.
Btw: Making Zend_Translate dependent of preg* is really bad behaviour.
Using SVN (= Subversion) at my customer: I don't get the point?! Our developers have these issues on their development servers. There are no .svn folders on our productional systems.
And: they are developers doing their job, writing code as ZF's manual is showing them. They don't care about such issues. The only thing they are aware of is that it "sometimes" occurs that new translations / changes of character encodings etc are not visible... And they are unable to understand, WHY this is happening.
Adding wished files manually: I know. And I'm doing so. And I'm using nothing but gettext for my translations. I care about performance, I try to avoid useless stat()-calls etc. Unfortunately most PHP developers are NOT doing so. But feel free to teach every coder out there it's job, instead of adding a smart quick fix. It will surely be a better world thereafter!
Zend_Translate dependent of preg_*: great point. We should also fix Zend_Locale, Zend_Data, Zend_Db and many others to avoid this seldom-used bad function. But your're right, feel free to use substr() - it's also faster. Ignoring hidden files / folders (^.) shouldn't break anything and would resolve this issue.
Best regards, Thomas
New option "ignore" can be used to fix this behaviour. Default it ignores files/directories beginning with '.'
Can be used to ignore other types like 'tmp' etc.
That's great, thanks a lot!

However Jérémie Rhorer wants to escape being pigeon-holed and dreams of new experiences in the classical repertoire, even venturing into the verismo style of Puccini. To celebrate his much awaited return to Brussels, this young conductor will tackle, for the first time, Felix Mendelssohn's superb Midsummer Night's Dream with the much acclaimed recitalist Dame Harriet Walter. He has decided to perform this work alongside Beethoven's 8th Symphony, which was a kind of homage by the composer to his illustrious predecessors, Haydn and Mozart.
Mendelssohn and Beethoven – what are the links between the two composers you have chosen for this concert?
There is certainly a link in the established canons of, on the one hand, classicism and the Beethovian development which is completely integrated within it. But what I particularly like about Mendelssohn, and which is sadly not often noticed, is that he was one of the first orchestral colourists. He used the orchestra to create musical imagery which had no equivalent at the time, with perhaps the exception of Weber, and which was carried on quite clearly in the work of Wagner. I think that, contrary to the label he has got stuck with, Mendelssohn was, in reality, absolutely essential to the birth of German romanticism, certainly as much as Weber. With this programme we are in the presence of two great thinkers linked one to the other and who complement each other. They were both very influential in the symphonic and operatic music of the 19th century. What's more, Mendelssohn helped to forge the German fairytale imagery. This aspect is perhaps not very present in Beethoven, but it is essential in Mendelssohn's work and we don't give him enough credit for it.
You seem to be a big fan of Mendelssohn …
I think that Mendelssohn is unique in the history of musical composition. He was one of the first, along with Weber, to create a musical imagery linked to atmosphere, scenery, light and nature. He managed to find figures which became almost canons themselves in a musical sense. This is a fundamental aspect that is not emphasised enough to my liking. There is a particular spirit in all his work. I am thinking, for example, of this movement of whirling, intoxicating strings which is really characteristic of a type of orchestral writing that will give encourage the development of the orchestra and will influence the French composers. Mendelssohn is the meeting place of several aesthetics. He belongs to the Mozartian culture, was trained in the Beethovian style and is almost part of the French aesthetic. I think a lot of composers will recognise themselves in his work, particularly Ravel. This kind of astonishing clarity, the overlapping of voices both elegant and refined, which is not at all flat as many critics imply, but is thought-out, clear and controlled and I think that the poetry is born out of this control. Like Ravel, the orchestration itself is poetry. Mendelssohn never chooses a timbre or an instrument by chance. The arrangement of the harmonies is never left to chance, either. He is someone who probably had the best ear that ever existed on this earth.
How would you characterise Beethoven's 8th Symphony?
The 8th Symphony is truly the essence of classical music. It is virtually the most classical of all the composer's symphonies. It is however also very hard to classify as it falls between two monuments. It makes a strong reference to Haydn, particularly in the second movement. It is effectively homage to what Beethoven owes to his ancestors in the classical canon. This symphony also pays homage to a certain precision that one can particularly observe, for example, in the second movement, and which produces a particular atmosphere, inspired by the clock and quite unique in his creations. As much as the first movement seems to be an echo of the Pastoral there is also, at the same time, something in the order of a memory of something he has worked at so hard, distorted and shaped. A kind of original mould which is especially moving.
Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream is a very well-known work but rarely played in its entirety.
For me, Midsummer's Night Dream is a bit like the Nutcracker, it is a succession of masterpieces! It is a model of musical construction. All the pieces are melodically inspired; they carry a certain atmosphere and a very special world. In this work there are qualities of transparency, energy and rhythm. By playing this work in its entirety it is the best way of paying homage to him. What is interesting is the musical purity of Mendelssohn which comes from an unusual, and finally unfathomable, work by Shakespeare.
You are used to conducting 'period/authentic' orchestras but here at the Monnaie you will be conducting a modern orchestra.
It's true I do tend to think that, particularly for Mendelssohn, the nature of the instruments is directly linked to the transparency. A wooden flute for example is very airy, diaphanous. As to the string instruments of the period, the bows allowed for very fast and light articulations which one can reproduce with modern instruments but it is, of course, less idiomatic and it demands greater dexterity. I have always thought that there was a link between the text and the texture. I fully understand that we cannot achieve total authenticity but I truly believe, like Ravel, that it is important to stretch towards perfection, in order to rediscover undreamt of aspects of certain music that has been condemned by history as heavy, awkward or pompous. Finally you realise that dusted down, revived, reborn, they can absolutely find the public's wavelength and be of interest. This is true for newly discovered works, but it is also true for works that have been known for ever that can be rediscovered in this way.
You are a real specialist in the classical repertoire but with this programme you are touching on the music of the 19th century…
As a matter of fact I am touching on it more and more! I think my training has been that of a musician who understood the importance and what is at stake in this revival of baroque music and who wishes to take it further into the repertoire which stretches into the late 19th century – music to which I am naturally drawn. Apart from with the Vienna Philharmonic, I no longer play Mozart other than with instruments of the period. All the engagements I have elsewhere are linked to the Romantic repertoire. I have conducted Brahms' A German Requiem and several of his symphonies, a lot of Schumann, Mendelssohn, Beethoven and in the future I hope to conduct a lot more of Mahler and Strauss. There are lots of works I would like to revisit, and there are many in particular that seem to be monopolised by German culture. This is an idea that we need to rise above for in this repertoire there is so much and so many poetic aspects to be explored, in Brahms, in Wagner, in Mahler… And in opera, Puccini! In Puccini there is something fiery, tragedy in its uncompromising sense that I find really interesting. I am fascinated by the strength of what is at stake psychologically in this music…

Coffee Talk Tuesday - Measuring Growth in the sport of Cycling
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Today's Coffee Talk Tuesday Discussion deals with measuring the growth of the sport of cycling. This is a hot topic these days with all the categories and possible USAC merger.. Give us your 2 or 3 cents on this topic!
This weekend I had an awesome time of not driving 60 minutes to watch the USGP race but instead saw the live streaming from cyclingdirt.com. While watching, one of the commentators (not Peter Webber, but the other guy) mentioned something about how you can see how the sport is really growing when you see riders like Yannick Eckmann be such a successful rider at only the age of 18.
Yannick is a great rider, he finished 5th on Saturday beating big names in the field and coming back on Sunday to also do well. If Yannick continues to improve like he has then I very much believe he could be the next Ryan Trebon, J-Pow or Tim Johnson.
But does Yannick's success = growth?
USAC says yes! Here is a diagram I got from Steve Johnson, the CEO of USAC, a few years ago as he was explaining to me the value of USAC. At the top of the chart you have heroes like Lance Armstrong, Tim Johnson, Levi etc. These heroes inspire younger riders and they grow, compete and become the next set of heroes. These heroes not only get the youth involved but they get all ages and genders inspired to ride and race. I believe their pitch but not all the way
But what about the ever expanding 35+ & 35+ cat 4 fields? Obviously the sport is growing when you have 35+ cat 4 fields over 100 riders. And of the huge cat 4 and 35+ cat 4 fields how many got into the sport because of cycling heros? Or was it just for the love of the competing and the sport?
See where I'm going with this? Which group is more important to cater to, the current and future heroes of cycling or the new riders (regardless of age) who are just entering the sport?
Cast your vote and take our poll
Maybe growth isn't the metric we even need to be measuring, maybe it's that catching phrase everyone is using these days... "sustainability" Which growth can provide a sustainable future in the sport of cycling for say the next 5 years?
Lastly I would like to say Yannick is awesome! For me he does make me proud that some youth of today do value the sport of cycling... wish I had his drive at such a young age. Good Luck Yannick and hope to see you on the podium soon!

Observation #2

Interesting that around 40% of the comments on this piece are centered around nailing down Eckmann's age.
The use of Yannick as a success story for USAC, or even ACA for that matter, grossly overlooks the fact that both he and Robin have a strong family support network. Not to mention that both Jurgen and Hanna (I think that's right) were both elite level cyclists themselves. Just a comment there, I know USAC & ACA create the opportunities.
Points: 21
So is he 17, 18 or 19?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
So is he 17, 18 or 19? Current USAC Men CX rankings (http://www.usacycling.org/rankings/points.php?state=&sex=M&disc=Road%3AC...) show his CX racing age as 19. So if he hasn't had a birthday yet this year, he's biologically 18. If he has, he's biologically 19.
Gotta be mindful of the difference between biological age and racing age, and then between road racing age and CX racing age. Look up his rider results on USAC though and that says his racing age is 18, so they may only go by road racing age, same with ACA link.

I only know ONE woman that I ride with who got into the sport because she had cycling heroes. These heroes, are mostly men. Maybe it's just a generalization, but I would say that women race because they love the sport and the camaraderie that goes with it. I would love, love, lovity LOVE to see a cat 4 women's field of 100 plus riders. Sadly, it's more like 8-20. Bummer.

not heros
Submitted by Brn (not verified) on
If it were soley the "heros", especially for road cycling, I would have stopped riding and racing years ago. I'm in it because I love it, and my kids are interested because they see my love for it and enjoy it as well. I have a very good group of friends that I ride with that also make my kids feel welcome and at ease - that will get them into cycling long before any "super elite" pro ever will.

H.S. MTB Race League
Submitted by Boulderite (not verified) on
The new High School MTB racing league is doing more to grow the sport, than USAC or ACA has ever been able to do. No "Heros" left in Mountain Biking, but they are getting over 200 riders per race. (Are there still any MTB Pros left in the U.S.A.?) They make it cool and with each school having their own team, they have some peers to hang out with.
CycloCross to grow Juniors? Not when they are heading off at 8:00 am on a Saturday morning for a 20 minute race. I'm waiting for a H.S. CycloCross League to come about in a few years. Ask somebody outside of Cross racing to name 5 Pros...
Every year we have a few phenomenal kids come through in Colorado. It's great to see, but usually they are connected with cycling through family.

The ACA and It's clubs are growing Jr. Cycling
Submitted by Adam (not verified) on
While I agree that HS Mtn Biking is a great addition in the efforts to grow youth cycling, the statement that "The new High School MTB racing league is doing more to grow the sport, than USAC or ACA has ever been able to do." is pretty inaccurate. The ACA junior cross camp had over 100 kids this year, up from roughly 60 last year. About 30-40 of which had either never raced or were in their first season. Virtually every talented Colorado rider under 25 years old has been attended one of the ACA camps ( Danny, Brady, Taylor, etc.) and Colorado kids virtually clean up at nationals. Every Colorado kid that I've seen on a National Podium has been to multiple ACA camps. Many of which have parents that race a bit because their kids race, not the other way around.
In addition, the ACA legislation to lower the starting racing age to 8 instead of the USAC age of 10 is a huge step in the right direction in terms of getting kids off the couch and growing bicycle racing. Personally I'd like to see the age brought down to 6, with more restrictions in terms of course layouts, lengths, barriers, etc. But that's another topic.
The other thing to look at is the size of the fields in cross especially in the 8-9, 10-12, and young girls categories. These numbers are up significantly over the past few years. It goes to show that there are many great programs and teams locally making big steps to grow participation.
Next time you are at a cross race at 8am, look at the size of the fields, the level of competition and the quality of technical skills in today's juniors. Afterwards take notice of the camaraderie and smiles that kids share with each other regardless of which team they are on. Then chime back in and tell me what the ACA and it's members are doing to grow the sport isn't working.

|Assistant Coach
|Corvallis, Ore.
|Alma Mater:
|Eastern Oregon, '04
Dr. Tim Riley brings innovating training methods with successful results to the Cougar cross country, middle distance and distance corps, in addition to demonstrating his recruiting abilities in bringing a high level of talented newcomers to Pullman.
Riley was hired by Washington State University to coach the men's and women's cross country teams Aug. 28, 2012, after serving as a volunteer assistant coach with the Cougars' program from 2008-2012.
In his first season at the helm of the Cougars cross country program, the Cougars had strong showings at the end of the season. At the 2012 NCAA West Regional Championships, the Cougar men's team placed seventh out of 26 teams and the WSU women placed 19th out of 28 teams. Riley had a runner advance to the NCAA Cross Country Championships when redshirt sophomore Todd Wakefield received an at-large berth to the national meet after running to an outstanding 14th-place finish at the NCAA West Regionals. Wakefield, a middle distance specialist, went on at nationals to finish the 10k course in a time of 30:50.7 for 111th place, an improvement over his 2011 finish at 186th.
The noteworthy accomplishments continued as the harriers hit the track oval. During the 2013 indoor season Riley guided a pair of Cougar men to upset victories at the 2013 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Indoor Championships. Wakefield won the 3000m over an elite field and Drew Jordan surprised an accomplished field to win the 5000m. Wakefield and Jordan were also on the DMR squad with Jacob Sealby and Jesse Jorgensen, that ran the seventh-fastest time in school history of 9:40.20i. Caroline Austin's PR time in the 3000m of 9:32.32i was sixth-fastest all-time, and outdoors ran the school record in the steeplechase with at time of 10:08.49. Roberts had an outstanding winter/spring including PRs in the mile of 4:46.67i (second-best all-time), in the 1500m with a time of 4:20.16 (fourth-best all-time), and in the 5000m with a time of 16:24.94 (fourth-best all-time). Courtney Zalud's 800m PR time of 2:08.29 is ninth-best all-time. At the Pac-12 Championships, the distance squad had two runner-up finishes in the men's 1500m (Todd Wakefield) and 800m (Jesse Jorgensen) and three additional scorers (men's 10,000m, women's steeplechase, women's 1500m). Riley had eight athletes qualify for the 2013 NCAA Track and Field West Region preliminary round. Academically, 10 athletes were selected for the All-Pac 12 academic team in cross country and track and field for WSU and both men's and women's cross country teams were selected as a USTFCCCA All-Academic team. Riley also helped guide post collegiate Joe Abbott to a 1:47.24 (800m) mark indoors this past winter. Joe later went on to run 1:45.04 in London this past summer under the direction of former WSU coach Pete Julian.
In Riley's second season of guiding the WSU cross country teams, the youthful squads gained experience and maturity and closed the 2013 season with top finishes at their final two meets. The Cougar men's team took sixth and the women's team took 10th at the Pac-12 Championships. At the NCAA West Regional Championships, the men finished eighth and the women finished 14th. Senior Andrew Gonzales led the men's squad with a 15th place conference finish and a 21st place regional finish. On the women's side, senior Ruby Roberts placed 15th at both the Pac-12 and NCAA Regional meets.
Prior to WSU, Riley, a 32-year old native of Corvallis, Ore., was an assistant coach of track and field and cross country at the College of Idaho from 2004 to 2006. During the 2004 season, Riley coached the men's team to a 17th place finish at the NAIA Cross Country National Championships. The Coyotes had three individual qualifiers for the 2005 NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships and three individual qualifiers for the 2004 Cross Country National Championships during Riley's time there. Riley also coached one All-American at the 2005 NAIA Indoor Track and Field National Championships.
Riley was an outstanding cross country and track and field athlete at Eastern Oregon University where he earned All-America honors in 2004. He was a two-time NAIA indoor track and field national qualifier and a three-time NAIA outdoor track and field national qualifier, winning the 2004 10,000m national championship. While at Eastern Oregon, Riley also went to four NAIA cross country national championships and was a member of the first place NAIA cross country national championship academic team in 2001.
During his time competing at Eastern Oregon, Riley was a four-time cross country MVP and selected track and field MVP once. He holds the school record for indoor track and field 3,000m at EOU.
After coaching the Coyotes, Riley came to WSU in 2006 and was granted a research assistant position in the department of neuroscience. He served as a Graduate and Professional Students Association senator at WSU. In May 2012 he received his PhD in neuroscience from the department of veterinary and comparative anatomy, pharmacology and physiology (VCAPP).
Riley has been a United States of America Track and Field member from 2008 to present and has been a member of the Society of Neuroscience during that time period. He enjoys fly-fishing, golf, photography and backpacking.

PSYCHEDELIC FURS, THE STATE ROOM, Monday, Oct. 8, 8 p.m., $35
For far too many people, Psychedelic Furs are simply the band that lent the title (and title song) to '80s John Hughes flick Pretty in Pink. That sells the British crew led by Richard Butler WAY short. After forming in 1977, they released a couple of excellent albums in their 1980 self-titled debut and 1981's Talk, Talk, Talk--the album where "Pretty In Pink" first appeared. For the rest of the '80s, the band was increasingly commercially successful--songs like "Heaven," "The Ghost in You," "Love My Way" and "Heartbreak Beat" were staples of so-called "alternative" radio--but the band split for most of the '90s before reforming and started to tour regularly again at the beginning of the new millennium. I've seen Psychedelic Furs in the past few years, and Butler is still a fine frontman, and those '80s tunes hold up remarkably well. In terms of a Monday night in Salt Lake City, it will be hard to do much better than this gig. Muscle Hawk opens the show.

Had to hold my vomit after reading this...
CBS Runs Segment Called 'Let's Give Up On The Constitution'
From Georgetown law professor Louis Michael Seidman:
I've got a simple idea: Let's give up on the Constitution. I know, it sounds radical, but it's really not. Constitutional disobedience is as American as apple pie. For example, most of our greatest Presidents -- Jefferson, Lincoln, Wilson, and both Roosevelts -- had doubts about the Constitution, and many of them disobeyed it when it got in their way.
To be clear, I don't think we should give up on everything in the Constitution. The Constitution has many important and inspiring provisions, but we should obey these because they are important and inspiring, not because a bunch of people who are now long-dead favored them two centuries ago. Unfortunately, the Constitution also contains some provisions that are not so inspiring. For example, one allows a presidential candidate who is rejected by a majority of the American people to assume office. Suppose that Barack Obama really wasn't a natural-born citizen. So what? Constitutional obedience has a pernicious impact on our political culture. Take the recent debate about gun control. None of my friends can believe it, but I happen to be skeptical of most forms of gun control. I understand, though, that's not everyone's view, and I'm eager to talk with people who disagree.
But what happens when the issue gets Constitutional-ized? Then we turn the question over to lawyers, and lawyers do with it what lawyers do. So instead of talking about whether gun control makes sense in our country, we talk about what people thought of it two centuries ago. Worse yet, talking about gun control in terms of constitutional obligation needlessly raises the temperature of political discussion. Instead of a question on policy, about which reasonable people can disagree, it becomes a test of one's commitment to our foundational document and, so, to America itself.
This is our country. We live in it, and we have a right to the kind of country we want. We would not allow the French or the United Nations to rule us, and neither should we allow people who died over two centuries ago and knew nothing of our country as it exists today. If we are to take back our own country, we have to start making decisions for ourselves, and stop deferring to an ancient and outdated document.
Hey that's a great idea keep perpetuating the idea that if we disregard rules long enough we can just call them archaic and do away with them. Good example of the "Educated Elite" trying to impart their wisom gained in books as opposed to experiance on the rest of us. I have a better idea how about we go back to the Constitution and give that another try because it was pretty successful.

New Year New You New Me.
Submitted by Cheri Felix on
Author, Cheri Felix
I don't know why people ask for my opinion. I don't know much. Everything I am about to say is my opinion and you should probably consult your physician or therapist or clergy member before taking anything I say to heart.
Every January I buy new underwear and every year I buy underwear that's too big. I can't tell if it's because I have body issues (doubtful) or if it's just that I don't know my true size (likely). But this year I am reminded that a lot of people need to go buy some new things. Or try new things. Everyone has their proverbial underwear they should be out buying. For some it's new bike shoes for others it's a sports bra and for others it's a whole new bike. It's a new year. A new beginning. Let's break these things down.
Shoes: Like it or not shoes wear out. Even if they are relatively clean. The support starts to wear down and if you ride a lot you'll see that some shoes are awesome for summer and others are better for colder weather. I heart my shoes but whoa. Not the right shoes for 40 degrees and wind at Curt Gowdy last November.
Tops: Since I mountain bike, I'm o.k. wearing any shirt I want (with a proper sports bra). But of course I like the cute jerseys and western style shirts from Club Ride. I once found an awesome jersey at Rags to Riches for 12 bucks. Awesome. That's like three lattes.
Sports bras: O.K. I'll be honest. I keep my sports bras for way too long. But since it's a new year I "recycled" them (threw them out). Recently I found one I liked (sub $34.00) and soon thereafter went back for one just like it. My mom used to say one to wear, one to rest and one to wash. Well, two out of three isn't bad. Make your breasts happy. Make those around you grateful. Buy a good bra that holds you without cutting off your breath. And while we're at it, try for one that makes them look like breasts and not like a breast.
Bikes: I'm seeing and hearing and responding to lots of questions about bikes. Full or hard. 26 or 29. And don't forget about the 27 ½. And carbon versus aluminum. Trek, Scott, Giant, Yeti, Felt, Santa Cruz…the list goes on and on and on. Here's my take. You can turn choosing a new bike into a part time job. What's that you say? It's a big purchase and it deserves a lot of time and thought? I hear you but here's my take. I am a good rider but I am an average rider. I'm a passionate rider. But I can walk into the Trek store and leave with a 26 or a 29er and be happy. I know. Gasp. But honestly, I believe it. Or I can go to another store and buy a whole other brand and guess what? Be just as happy. And maybe that's just me. But if you are in the market for a bike, pick a budget (be realistic) and do some comparison shopping on line. Compare components. Compare colors. Then go to the bike store. Then hopefully soon after that, buy a bike. I guarantee you that for many of us, this won't be our last bike. You'll love it and you'll think it's the best thing since sliced bread but like that boyfriend in high school, sooner or later, it will get old and you'll start dreaming about a new one.
Or don't buy a thing. Keep all the old stuff and the old bike. Just be sure to get out and ride your bike. Happy New Year! May 2013 be filled with good health, well supported breasts and more trails!

The Wikitravel article for Rio de Janeiro, recommends a 20-30 minutes trekking trail to access the Sugar Loaf for free. Is it safe?
I'll answer my own question after staying in Rio and doing the trekking.
This trail is completly safe in all sense. There are police controls in the first part of the trail (the Pista Cláudio Coutinho) and in the upper part (the cable-car station). In reality, all the area is a militar settlement, so I doubt that anybody try to attack you there.
In the other hand, the trail is not so difficult as the video posted by @DarkLightA shows. Nowadays there are no need of ropes or similar to climb and the main problem is the mud if the previous day has rained (slipper danger).
We take more than a hour to arrive to the "top" so consider the wikitravel time estimation as very optimistic. Also the "top" is not the real top. There are 2 cable-car stations, the first one is where you can get by walking this trail, but the second one is the upper one (but the views are similar).
I've never been there myself, but I'll try to answer your question as well as I can.
There are several YouTube videos that give insight into the hike. Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97nw7rblN00
It appears to be very steep in some parts, with ropes built in to facilitate getting up. However, it is of course difficult to come to a conclusion based on a video.
Furthermore, there is a tour guide who has written about the place, and states:
"Without a doubt, you will feel safe when visiting Sugar Loaf. Not only the cable cars are new and well-maintained, but overall, the infrastructure of Urca Hill and Sugar Loaf (and its surrounding) are satisfying." (http://www.myriotravelguide.com/accidents-on-sugar-loaf-in-rio/)
In the post he is mostly talking about the cable cars, but here he appears to mention the surroundings too, which incorporates the hike up, I suppose.
There was one accident in 2008 with a group of climbers where one unfortunately died, but I believe this was sports climbers rather than hikers, who would have taken a more difficult route. A similar occurrence happened last December, again with a climber, not a hiker.
Overall it seems like it isn't much of a danger to hike up. However, a bit of common sense goes a long way. If you feel uncomfortable, just hike back down and take the cable car up. Better safe than sorry!

A New Diet Design
One day last year, 10 new pounds mysteriously joined the 10 I'd previously planned to lose. I don't know how it happened, but suddenly the waistbands of all my sit-below-the-waist pants were sitting snugly at my waist, crowned by a rubbery roll of flesh. The menopause metabolism-slowing demon had come to live at my house.
I tried the South Beach Diet, the Atkins Diet, the no-white-foods diet, and the being-careful-about-everything-I-ate diet. After six months, nothing had worked and my choices were (1) to buy a new wardrobe or (2) to join Weight Watchers. (Everyone I knew who had lost weight and kept it off had done it with Weight Watchers.)
So on a gray Monday morning, I went to my first meeting, on the second floor of a cinder-block office building in a rundown strip mall. I took off my shoes, socks, sweater, belt, and earrings and weighed in, crestfallen that the scale said I was three pounds more than I'd weighed naked at home a half hour before. I took my seat in the circle with 15 other women, nearly crushing a toddler hiding under my folding chair. When the group leader handed me an "I'm a Loser!!!" sticker, I knew I was in the wrong place.
After the meeting, I sat in my car for a long time. Was I just too big a snob to follow a proven program? Then, the lightbulb. What if I recruited a group of women — friends, peers, friends of friends — and we began our own support group, holding meetings in a nice restaurant where we could weigh in, exchange dieting tips, share our successes and failures, and then eat lunch together?
Getting Started
I called my longtime friend Mary-Catherine Deibel, co-owner of the UpStairs on the Square restaurant, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and proposed the idea of a weekly group that would meet at her restaurant. Mary-Catherine was on board instantly. We dubbed the group Down@Up — thinking it a sufficiently cryptic name (one that wouldn't be obvious on a day planner) — and limited the membership to 12, a number that would fit comfortably around a lunch table. We found a leader with 10 years of experience running diet programs and paid her in advance, $150 per person for 10 weeks. Her job was to orchestrate the meetings: run the weigh-in, moderate the discussion, and give feedback.
Mary-Catherine and I e-mailed friends and, within days, had assembled our charter group. It resembled a casting call for our neighborhood: an architect, an artist, a pediatrician, a corporate headhunter, a marketing director, a college professor, a graphic designer, a photographer — all successful women, all frustrated by their weight.
The First Weigh-In
We're all nervous at the first meeting. Women rarely tell even their best friends what they weigh; here we are, airing our baggy, stretched-out laundry in public. We line up for the weigh-in with our leader, who enters our weights in a log. Then we gather at the table, introducing ourselves and saying something about our goals.
Most of us are looking to lose 20 or so pounds (our pants are too tight, but we still remember when we could wear them comfortably). Some have never worried about their weight until now; others have gotten so accustomed to being fat, they've given up imagining themselves thin. "My doctor told me to either lose 30 pounds or look for another doctor," one member confesses. I share my fear of diabetes, the disease that took my sister three years ago. Sandra whispers, "I'd rather not take cholesterol pills for the rest of my life." Another member estimates that over the course of her adulthood, she has lost and gained enough weight to be twins.
The group is a little stiff and formal, but the seeds of intimacy and trust are here. When Blue tells us that she can't even say "the D word," we laugh. "I'll tell people I'm not eating red meat or white flour, but I'll be damned if I'll tell them I'm on a diet," she says. One member, who's leaving on a trip in a few weeks, says her new mantra is "Would I rather eat Italian or wear Italian?" We all crack up.
After the introductions, the group leader slaps a deck of playing cards on the table. "That is a serving size of animal protein," she says. "Keep a pack in the kitchen at home to calibrate portions." Sobering. Three or four ounces, less than half the size of a typical restaurant serving. Mary-Catherine asks a few of the chefs to come upstairs so they can get a sense of what they'll have to do to make meals that are within our caloric budget. "If that's all the protein we're allowed to serve, we're going to have to put lots of vegetables on the plate," one of them says. Exactly. "And no butter, no cream either?" asks another. The challenge is on.
Now comes the fun part: lunch. We eat with gusto, knowing we're in a diet-friendly place. Instead of a bread basket, there are crudites with a yogurt-dill dipping sauce. Instead of creamy dressings and cheesy toppings, there are bright vegetable purees. I notice that during lunch, although we talk about food and restaurants, none of us talk about diets.
The Needle Starts to Move
We're pumped for our second meeting. Buoyed by the support of the group, we've each lost a little. Both Susan and Blue have lost three pounds. Susan, one of the more disciplined members, has upped her water-aerobics classes from three to four a week and banned Diet Coke from her life (she's heard that diet drinks increase sugar cravings). Blue, who has a teenage son and a very tall husband, says she's being careful not to divide family dinners into three equal parts anymore. Others have made smaller adjustments — drinking a glass of water before and after meals and switching from whole-milk lattes to nonfat-milk cappuccinos. My friend Sandra's secret is eating one small piece of high-quality dark chocolate every day: "If I have one treat, I can cope," she says. Another swears by eating chunks of watermelon for the munchies.
We share tips for buying and cooking foods that make less seem like more: real oatmeal, not instant; huge salads bolstered by crunchy fresh veggies, such as jicama and celery, that provide enough mouth action to make a skimpy meal satisfying. We're all cooking at home more, making soup or batches of quinoa, barley, and brown rice so there will always be a healthy, high-fiber starch in the house.
At the first Down@Up lunch, the chefs selected a few of the lighter entrees from the regular menu and did the obvious things: shrank the portions, put sauces in ramekins. But this week we have a menu of dishes created just for us: spicy chicken on steamed kale and Swiss chard, lamb tenderloin salad with whole wheat tabouleh, salmon with fennel puree. (Who needs hollandaise when you can have this much flavor and so few calories?) The average price with beverage and tip is $20.
The Group Gels
As the weeks pass, we're becoming more open about our struggles with weight: We sympathize, empathize, and mostly just listen to one another. One member with a chronically ill adult son says that she always gains after a visit with him. Another says she's not up to weighing herself, because the night before, after she dropped her high-school-senior daughter off at the train for a college tour, she returned home and ate four thick slices of bread and butter. We know that guilty feeling.
Between meetings, the e-mail circuits sizzle with our ups and downs, plus articles from the New England Journal of Medicine and the New York Times.
Two months into Down@Up, we're planning active excursions to see the Decorators' Show House or a new museum exhibit, going for walks, goading one another into joining a seven a.m. exercise group. We're trading books and dining at one another's houses — conferring on menus that are fancy but not diet-busting, like a fabulous pesto sauce on top of spaghetti squash instead of pasta, or combining cooked cauliflower with potatoes for mashed potatoes lite.
Our meetings have changed from our first, very structured conversations. More of us have things to say, and it's become a little difficult for the leader to maintain order. She comes to each meeting with a discussion topic: how to break the clean-plate syndrome, how to manage social situations at which food and drink are at the center. (She suggests leaving the table before dessert is served, but that won't work for many of us who do business entertaining. Our consensus is that she's a tad militant.) She stresses that weight control is a lifestyle, not a diet — we can always eat less tomorrow if we overdo it today.
Stuck on Heartbreak Hill
Two-and-a-half months along, Susan, in keeping with her discipline, has lost the 17 pounds she had hoped to before taking off for a two-month sabbatical. Most of us have lost, but almost all of us have hit plateaus.
Our leader sends an e-mail to boost us over Heartbreak Hill. She explains that it's natural to get stuck in neutral for a few weeks or fall off the wagon occasionally. "This is a years-long personal journey, not a one-week boot camp," she writes. "Try to come to meetings even when you have only 15 minutes. It's amazing what just a little group contact and support can do." She's right. A couple of us who've missed a few meetings because we were dispirited with our progress return to the fold.
As the weeks pass, the lunch part starts to feel more helpful than the meeting part. We are developing friendships, and we begin to save our more intimate conversations about our weight problems for the table. We have stopped caring if other members know our weight; we are all struggling together. Plus, the lunch menus are getting better every week. Often other diners look over at our table and say, "I'll have what they're having."
Round Two
At the end of 10 weeks, several members have reached their target weights and left the group. I've lost eight of my 10 pounds (with a little seesawing around my daughter's graduation), and I want to keep going. So do most of the rest of the group. We recruit a few new members.
Being committed to the group seems to give us confidence that our lifestyle changes will help us lose weight and keep it off. Many of us now wear pedometers and make walking dates. Some of us are becoming one-day-a-week vegetarians. We take food with us when we travel. (See more weight-loss tips on page 3.) We sign the leader up again, but most of us feel that it will be the last go-round with a leader running the group.
Many of us nursed the fantasy that we'd lose weight automatically just by joining the group. Now we know there won't be a quick fix. So as we work to become sylphs, we continue to meet for lunch each Wednesday to bolster our vigilance and our sense of humor. We expect to be ladies who lunch wisely for a very long time.
Weight-Loss Tips: Winning at the Losing Game
Members of Down@Up pooled their top tips for eating out without blowing a calorie count.
- Don't let the bread basket even touch the table. Ask the server to bring a bowl of crudites instead.
- Order an Aunt Bess: sparkling water, bitters, and lime. It looks and tastes festive.
- Before you get your entree, ask the server to put half in a to-go box.
- For your entree, ask for a sampler plate of all the vegetable side dishes on the menu.
- Drink two glasses of water or a large glass of skim milk before you go out so you're not starving.
- Pick a restaurant that serves tapas or a tasting menu, or order a salad and an appetizer instead of a main course.
- Go vegetarian. Often those beautiful vegetarian entrees (but not pasta or risotto) are terrific and have fewer calories than the protein entrees.
- There's no reason not to taste the salad dressing or the entree sauce. Just ask for it to be served on the side, and dip your fork before every bite.
- Call the restaurant ahead of time to ask for a special meal — something very low calorie, poached, steamed. Most chefs like the challenge and will happily oblige.
- Order nonfat cappuccino after a meal and put two packets (40 calories) of Sugar in the Raw on the foam to form a crust. Sweet and satisfying, it will make you feel as though you are having dessert.

The current installment of CBS (shown on CTV) Undercover Boss TV Shows the President and CEO of Choice hotels going undercover. Well I just had to take this opportunity to talk about Accent Inns leadership. Long before Choice Hotels CEO dawned a uniform our own Terry Farmer was working hard at our Accent Inn BC hotels. The attached video shows Accent Inns founder and Chairman, Terry, more recently cleaning rooms and doing maintenance at both our Kamloops hotel and our Victoria hotel. This particular efforts was as a reward to our staff for the great fundraising effort everyone in the BC hotel chain did for the Power to Play event. Every Accent Inn is owned and operated by the Farmer family with Mandy Farmer being the current President and CEO. Terry and Mandy have never been afraid of getting in and supporting our team and they always make an effort to know each one of our staff (around the province) by name!
Friendliness and cleanliness have always been a priority and as you can see in the video, having fun is important to!

text: Should you drill a hole in the bottom of the receiver to allow you to drive out the hinge pin for the buttstock? I noticed on Pookies website when he instructs on making the cutout and the push button hole in the receiver to fit the folding stock trunion, he does not mention drilling a hole for the hinge pin. If you don't and you break the wire stock and have to replace it, then you'll have to drill out the rivets and remove the buttstock trunion to replace the stock. Is this right or am I missing something here ?

This year will mark the 10th edition of the race, and for the second year in a row, Park City has been selected to host the race's final stage, Stage Six, on Sunday, Aug. 11.
Last year, an estimated 20-25,000 fans lined Main Street to watch the racers cross the finish line, prompting Tour officials to award the final stage to Park City again in 2013.
"It's the fans," Todd Hageman, course director for the Tour, said. "There's a lot of enthusiasm in Park City for the Tour of Utah. We've always been welcomed with open arms."
Hageman said the start of this year's race should add even more excitement to the event.
"The big change this year is that we're moving down south, starting in Cedar City," he said. "We'll be touching the edges of Bryce Canyon and Cedar Breaks."
From there, the race will head north, making stops in Torrey, Payson and Salt Lake City, among other communities.
About 17 teams will take part in this year's event, consisting of about 125 to 135 total riders.
According to Hageman, last year's race had a $14 million economic impact on the state, with about 200,000 people attending at least one stage of the race.
Though it's been a tumultuous year in the world of cycling, Hageman said he doesn't anticipate Lance Armstrong's recent doping confession to have an impact on this year's race, saying that the culture of the sport has changed over the last decade.
"It doesn't really affect the Tour of Utah," he said. "(Armstrong's doping culture) was a generation ago."
The race will start on Tuesday, Aug. 6, and will end on Sunday, Aug. 11.
