ACA Statement Regarding our Relationship with USAC, August 10, 2011
From the ACA
History of ACA
Prior to being an independent sanctioning body, the ACA was the Bicycle Racing Association of Colorado (BRAC). Formed in 1976, BRAC was the USCF (predecessor of USACycling) District that ran road racing in Colorado. Beth Wrenn-Estes was the President of BRAC. In 1994, when the USCF decided to change their district structure, Colorado clubs became upset and disenchanted with the perception that the USCF cared only about elite racers and gave no attention to local riders. Beth proposed breaking from USCF and the clubs agreed.
The ACA in its current form was born. Beth was hired as Executive Director and Yvonne van Gent, formerly the USCF District Representative, was hired as the Membership Coordinator. Beth served as Executive Director until 2007. The ACA's commitment to quality local racing and junior development was established in this time. During her tenure, because of significant mutual animosity, there was no chance of reconciliation with USACycling (USAC).
In 2008, Jon Tarkington assumed the position of Executive Director of the ACA. Under the leadership of Jon and the Board of Directors, the ACA consolidated and made transparent its finances, grew its membership, created evaluation processes for race promoters and officials, created a dynamic website that is both the organization's database and storefront, embraced and helped direct the substantial growth in cross racing, and purchased a cutting edge electronic timing system. Jon and representatives of the ACA's Board of Directors met with USAC leaders four times in attempts to negotiate a return to USAC, but could not find an agreement that worked for both parties.
In 2010, Jon decided to step down as Executive Director. Chris McGee was hired for the job, and began as ED in late January, 2011.
The Situation in 2011 Beginning this spring, our relationship with USACycling has been strained by USAC's decision to enforce UCI rule 1.2.019.
UCI Rulebook regarding 'Forbidden Races"
1.2.019 No licence holder may participate in an event that has not been included on a national, continental or world calendar or that has not been recognised by a national federation, a continental confederation or the UCI. A national federation may grant special exceptions for races or particular events run in its own country.
Attempts by promoters to gain exceptions for specific races, so that they may host UCI
professional racers, have not been approved. The ACA has formally asked for exceptions for specific races that do not conflict with USAC's National Racing Calendar, and these too have been declined. We have spoken with representatives from USAC, the US Olympic Committee, legal advisors, journalists, and other people who are close to the situation. The ACA continues to explore options to remedy this situation.
Other issues have arisen this year, the most notable of which are new call-up procedures for Masters at Cross Nationals and the difficulty with dual-permitted events.
The ACA's Position in 2011
The ACA is a fully-functioning, financially solvent 501c3 non-profit organization. We have an accountant who oversees our finances and helps produce accurate, up-to-date financial documents, which are posted on our professionally-maintained website. Our member-run Board of Directors meets monthly to provide oversight on the organization's finances, planning and operation. We have five part-time staff who are dedicated to creating the best racing experiences for our 3,000 annual members. We believe that we provide the highest quality racing and cycling development product for our members at a reasonable cost, and we believe that we are an asset to both the Colorado and American cycling communities.
Rejoin USAC?
We are occasionally asked, 'Why don't you just rejoin USAC?'
There are many reasons why this is not a simple discussion, but the primary reason is money.
Local racing in the United States is governed by USAC's Local Association (LA) Agreement. There are 33 LAs the country, totaling approximately 35,000 road/cross/track racers. Each LA receives income from USAC in the form of $10 per Senior license sold in their LA area (no money for juniors, officials, mechanics, or mountain bike licenses). In addition, Las can raise money by charging separate membership fees, $1 or $2 for each race entry in races sanctioned in the LA area (these called race surcharges), and $1 per entry from USAC's online registration service.
Most LAs are run by volunteer boards with no paid staff.
A couple of facts to think about:
- Current annual membership prices are $45 for ACA and $60 for USAC.
- At this time, approximately 23% of ACA members also hold a USAC license.
- ACA members currently enjoy a lower license fee, incredible insurance with a low $1,000 deductible and great customer support, timely results on our website, timely calculations for racing points series (BARBAT, Cross Cup), a comprehensive race kit for our promoters that includes 2 high-speed cameras, laptops, and software, access to world-class timing and results companies at affordable pricing, world-class officials, on-site medical support at all races, neutral support at 17 races by ROL Wheels (paid by ACA), and a full 9 month calendar of affordable, great racing.
- The ACA's Junior Development Program is one of the best in the country. We offer Juniors Ride Free, Junior Road Camp, Junior Cross Camp, the Colorado Mini Classic, the 1st Bike Program, and in 2012 will introduce the Junior Race Grant Program. We have a paid Junior Development Coordinator who is a former professional racer. We spend more than $40,000 each year in this investment in cycling's future.
When we talk about becoming an LA, we have to ask ourselves many questions:
- If the ACA were to simply agree to the LA model, our income from memberships would fall approximately $100,000 annually.
- As we function today, $45 from every ACA license goes toward local cycling. If we were a LA, only $10 from the USAC license goes to local Colorado racing.
- What does the core of our membership (racers aged 35-54 in categories 3 & 4) gain from a realignment with USAC?
- Would our members pay an additional fee to support the ACA's programs and services? In the past, BRAC used this model to generate income. Approximately 1/3 of Colorado racers voluntarily paid a separate fee to the local association.
- If we do not have a separate ACA membership fee, how would we provide members with the same level of support with a reduction in staff?
- How would the ACA continue its extraordinary support of junior development with significantly less budget?
One solution is to charge a separate ACA membership fee after racers pay for their USAC license. The questions: How many riders are willing to pay an additional fee for their racing licenses? What is the value of the ACA's services to Colorado racing? What could the ACA reasonably charge as a LA membership fee?
To address these questions and get sense of our clubs' needs, the ACA will conduct a survey of our 95 clubs. As a member-driven non-profit, it is imperative that we receive the input necessary to act in the interests of our membership. This survey will be sent the week of August 15th, 2011.
Colorado has always been a fantastic place to ride, race and train, for beginners and professional racers alike. We are committed to providing high quality events for all bicycle racers regardless of their level. The ACA always has, and always will, welcome all racers to our events. It is important to note that the ACA is not creating any barriers for racer participation, and we will not bend or break our own policy in the interests of one segment of our membership.
The ACA is a grassroots, amateur-based organization. "The mission of the ACA is to expand and develop the sport of amateur bicycle racing in the Rocky Mountain region while ensuring quality experiences for all involved." We continue to pursue remedies to the situation with professional racers and elite level racers, but at the same time must remain focused on our mission. Please know that we work every day to fulfill this mission. Board and staff information is available under 'Contacts' on the ACA website.

ACA, please survey the members, not just club leadership. Club leadership does not necessarily represent it's members. Individual club members should have a say.
This quote from above sums it up nicely:
"The ACA is a grassroots, amateur-based organization."
And it's doing it quite well, IMO.
A couple changes I would like to see:
* Stop the proliferation of categories. Yes, this has been discussed already, ad nausea.
* To upgrade, you must get your points by racing in the straight category (not masters) categories. So, for example, no upgrades from 35+/4, 45+/4, 35+/3. It blows me away that you can become a 2 by only racing 35+/3. If you can't get your points in straight cat 3 races, you shouldn't be a 2!
Points: 5
I'll add one other change

I'll add one other change that should be discussed, and that is, as a grassroots organization, should ACA start implementing in- and out-of-competition testing for elite categories, as well as elites racing in the Masters open categories??

To be fair to the ACA, most
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
To be fair to the ACA,
most of their members are middle-aged guys with full-time jobs and families. The ACA needs to attract the largest number of racers they can into the sport, or else it dies. If you end the masters upgrade rule, and effectively end the ability to move up into high ranking categories for them, many are going to give up on the sport if they can only upgrade racing against collegiate age athletes.
I know - you are some bad ass, who can take down the straight-up SM4/3 category. Good for you - you seriously kick ass at low level amateur racing, and apparently, think your high level of talent at office parks crits and all the fame and money involved are being watered down by 35+ and 45+ men getting upgrade points in races full of old guys.
At the end of day, why does this bother you so much. If you make it to a 2 (even if racing the 35 and 45+ fields), it is still an achievement. And as stated below, most 2's end up racing open masters races after a year of getting shelled by former pros and younger guys anyways.

I'm a masters racer and have no problem with what is suggested
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I'll happily race 35+/4 then 35+ /3 and then 35+ or 45+ open depending on my age then. The 35+/4 fields in CX last year were more competitive than the standard 4's and the 35+ open was throwing down better times than the 1/2/pro's. I have a feeling the 35+ /3s will be putting down times as good or better than the standard 3's as well.
Its not a matter of not being competitive - its a matter of racing with piers and a slightly different outlook on life along with better controlled field sizes and/or even being able to race (35+/4s were selling out 2hrs before race in more than half the CX races last year).

Quality races?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Do the ACA and Colorado cyclists consider Deer Trail, Hugo and the random parking lot crits currently making up the majority of the road season quality racing? Maybe the majority of license holders have not raced outside of CO in the past 10 years because our calendar has become pathetic compared to many other parts of the country and even what the ACA was 7yrs ago. For a cyclist who wishes to truely develop and grow in the sport the ACA has become not worth the $45 price tag. ACA has become the Amateur Crit / Circuit race Association.

What Parking Lot Crit?
Submitted by CritRacer (not verified) on
What parking lot crits have you done? I don't remember any ACA Crit going through a parking lot this year.
Bannock, Longmont, Vics, City Park, Ft. Collins, Salida, Rasin Hope, FCCF, Steamboat, Dead Dog, ERock, The Sonic Boom, etc... I don't remember riding through any parking lots...
Hummm, with a packed schedule from April to December, if you don't like a certain race, there are plenty of other races out there to do. I would say this is the most packed schedule we have had in Colorado in 10, 15 years. Usually 2 races or more to choose from every weekend.
I skipped the 8 hour drive to Durango and did the Morgul-Bismark Road Race instead this year. Deer Trail, Koppenburg and Hugo where great preparation for it. 4 Hard Days of racing without any hotel time. Very good for the family life.
Only Road Race cancelled from the ACA schedule was Air Force due to continued Code Yellow-Red. It probably won't be run as Collegiate race again if security level doesn't change. Bummer...

Parking lot crit is a generic term
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Packed schedule, are you joking me? 60 minute crits around industrial parks and 4 mile hill climbs to not constitute a packed schedule unless you are a track racer. We wouldn't want to attract any attention or publicity to the sport now would we. I am guessing you are a masters racer who has no desire to leave the state of CO or improve past a recreational racer. In the past we had races such as the Carter Lake RR, Estes Park stage race, Stazio Crit training series and more in Colorado and Dead dog didn't have a pathetic 25 man fields but maxed out around 100. Driving hours out to Deer Trail and Hugo to have no prize money, in adequate support and no fans / exposure for the sport is a great way to continue this downward spiral.
The short version of this whole issue is that if you want to have high level racing, promoting growth and showing juniors and all cyclists what top level cycling really is things need to change in a major way. I know when I was a Cat 3 in Colorado 10 years ago I did not decide to devote so much time to train and improve so I could do 60 min crits with no pro's, often less than 40 in the field and no prize money. Like Kenny Powers said "I play real sports. I don't try to be the best at exercising".

Can you clarify what you mean about the schedule not being packed unless one is a track racer? The ACA does not run any track events that I am aware of.

He is referring to the fact
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
He is referring to the fact track races are shorter in duration, and therefore, athletes who specialize in the track would find the 60 minute crit and the 4 mile hill climb a full day of racing.
But more to the point the guy is making:
Road racing is dying here in Colorado. Hugo is gone, I heard Vic's Crit may be going away (say what you will - but this is a race where non-cycling spectators get to watch the race due to the number of shops and restaurants around the course).
To be honest - part of the problem is that this is Colorado. Too many great rides, mountain bike opportunities, making the appeal for racing less than it is in say, New Jersey or Iowa. Add to that the impact of cross taking some potential racers who prefer the more laidback, results be damned culture of cross, and is it not a shock.
Also - was speaking with a promoter about this, and said that it seems all people want to race in Colorado are hill climbs. Maybe road racing is cursed by geography, the rise of mountain biking and cross, and the impact of triathlons in the last 20 years also siphoning off potential roadies from the pool of available athletes.

Caroline Skelton Priebe is driven to design and manufacture luxury sustainable fashions that break down the existing stigma related to environmentally conscious and organically grown products. She also wishes to create a contemporary business model that will inspire others.
Priebe has already established herself as an inspired entrepreneur who promotes her designs via her online knitwear company, ULURU. According to her designer statement, she believes "clothing speaks your identity and that your identity should be yours; fluid not fickle, and definitely not defined by a label. There is space in my garments for women to interpret, move, accessorize, layer, and wear."
ULURU has been featured in such high-profile magazines as Harper's Bazaar, Lucky, Vogue, and New York magazine.
Priebe chose California College of the Arts because the facilities and faculty impressed her. She felt a particular connection with CCA Fashion Design Program faculty member Lynda Grose, who also designs socially and environmentally advanced clothing and textiles.
Priebe was drawn to CCA's San Francisco campus, eager to remove herself from the corporate fashion trends of New York and engage in a smaller, more progressive fashion program.
She remembers a particular CCA conceptual design class, which stands out as one of her favorites. "I came from such a pragmatic background and this was the class that really inspired me to design beyond the obvious." Such classes inspired Priebe to find unique things, such as acupuncture, and apply it to her garment making.
Priebe reveals her most outstanding achievement to date is her fall 2009 sustainable wovens collection and show. "I'm not sure how I am still standing," she confesses, as she describes the amount of work it required to put together the collection. She realizes she is taking on a Herculean effort in trying to shape the perceptions of a firmly established multibillion-dollar industry, and her goals and desires remain clear: "I wish for partners (from mill to retail outlet) in mobilizing the powerful force of retail fashion to accelerate the effort towards social and economic justice, eco-preservation and enhancement."
Priebe is currently working on honeycomb-inspired recycled cotton totes with fellow sustainable designer Alabama Chanin. The totes will be sold in July at a pop-up shop within Earnest Sewn in New York. The show was put together by friends Derrick Cruz of Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons to heighten awareness about colony-collapse disorder among the bee population.
When asked what's next, this innovative and inspired CCA alumna encourages folks to "stay tuned."

Instructor: Shawn Halbert
View all teaching evaluations for this course
Units: 3
Meeting Time: ThF 11:20-12:35
Meeting Location: 240
Course Start: January 09, 2014
Course End: April 24, 2014
Class Number (formerly Course Control Number) (Non-1Ls): 49630
The course will examine criminal investigations and the constitutional and statutory law relating to police officers/government agents and lawyers. Topics include the role of prosecution and defense counsel, search and seizure, police interrogation, the exclusionary rule, and assistance of counsel.
We will be using the same course reader as in the 4 unit course taught by Professor Weisselberg, but in light of the difference in credits, there will be less reading and a few select topics will be addressed in less depth. We will cover all of the basic constitutional law and practice points and also link our studies to topics of current interest, like New York's stop-and-frisk practices, recent revelations about government wiretapping, and police searches of smartphones. Part of the final grade will be based on class participation and we will make regular use of class exercises with students in role.
Shawn Halbert graduated from Harvard Law School in 1995 and then worked at Heller Ehrman as a litigation associate with a practice including white collar criminal defense. She has been an attorney with the Federal Public Defender's Office (N.D.Cal.) since 1999 (and will leave that office the end of this year). Her work as a public defender has involved representing clients in evidentiary hearings, trials, sentencing hearings and appellate arguments (Ninth Circuit) in cases alleging a wide range of federal offenses, including RICO prosecutions with death penalty allegations.

A MAN was airlifted to hospital after his arm became trapped in a machine at a factory near York.
The victim, beleived to be in his 50s, broke his arm when it became caught in a machine at the Flatford engineering base on Elvington Industrial Estate.
Police, firefighters and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance were called to the site in York Road at about 4.15pm on Monday.
A fire brigade spokesman said the man was released from the machinery before their arrival and they helped assist the casualty, who was then taken by air ambulance to Leeds General Infirmary.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) sent an inspector to the site to make initial enquiries.
A spokesman from Flatford said: "Although it is not what anyone wants, it was not life-threatening.
"Accidents do happen unfortunately."

Day 2 - Juice fast (November 21st)
Wednesday, November 21, 2012
My day started well. I rested so well last night!
Wasn't too hungry when I got up which is great. It was difficult to prepare breakfast for my son and to smell the food cooking and know I couldn't have any. Has anyone else done a Juice fast while living with others who aren't?
It's been a slightly harder day today because my entire team ate their lunch around me. Burgers, subway, hot dogs, and pizza. Normally I don't even notice the smells of these things, but having had only juice and water for more than 24 hours the food addict inside me is screaming "I NEED SOMETHING GREASY" --- but I've decided to ignore her. It was that part of me that got me in this mess in the first place!
It's like a smoker trying to quit. I'm sure they have their moments of - I'm gonna die if I don`t have something right now.... but I won't give in. I just need to remind myself this may be hard, but so is living as an obese single mom and I do that every day. It's only 10 days. I can do this!
Got word of a fruit and vegetable market nearby that is supposedly cheaper so hopefully I'll be able to carry it out for the full time.
It's just the withdrawal talking. I just need to hang in there 8 more days.
For anyone thinking about this fast I would recommend doing the first 3 days on a weekend or time that you can seclude yourself a bit more. Ideally I was going to start on the weekend but I thought it would be easier to stick to it if I had my co-workers keeping me accountable. I'm more likely to cheat if I don't have witnesses (terrible I know!) but at least I know my weakness.
This is a step towards health and wellness. I'm not doing it just to lose weight... I'm doing it to try and break the addiction and retrain my taste buds to enjoy more simpler fare without all the extra sauces, dips, and bread.
Discomfort is expected, but ultimately I can control what I do or don't do. This is a battle of wills and I am determined to let the healthy version of me win.

I absolutely know what this is like. I've been doing a doctor supervised extremely low calorie diet with hormone pills, and I live in a household with my husband and five kids who all eat what and when they please. The first few days were hellish for me, but here I am 13 days into it, and I'm doing pretty ok. Still a few cravings when I smell things cooking, especially since I was early prepping Thanksgiving day foods today to serve for the family tomorrow. But here I am, nearly 6pm and I'm ok. Just keep at it dear! You're going to make it and each day is going to be a little easier.

Microarray technology has brought a paradigmatic change in bioanalytics. However, highly sensitive and accurate assays are still needed for a real breakthrough. We present a simple and generic approach for fluorescent signal amplification with fluorescent microparticle labels. The assay principle was demonstrated using a reverse array model consisting of spots of bovine serum albumin with a small fraction of the proteins biotinylated. Specific binding of streptavidin coated fluorescent microparticles to the spots was promoted by applying a controlled continuous microparticle flow. The surface bound beads were visualized and quantified with confocal microscopy images. Comparison with standard fluorescent and flow discrimination assays has revealed several advantages of our approach. First, non-specific particle binding could be reduced to less than 1particle/spot making therefore the visualization of single biomolecular bonds possible. Second, the amplification scheme presented here is generic and can be applied to any fluorescent microarray. Furthermore, this assay makes use of a biotin-streptavidin linkage and can therefore be applied to all kind of assays. Finally, single fluorescent microbeads can be easily visualized with standard optical equipments, so that no high performance equipment is required.

Adjustment of the Na/K ATPase activity to changes in oxygen availability is a matter of survival for neuronal cells. We have used freshly isolated rat cerebellar granule cells to study oxygen sensitivity of the Na/K ATPase function. Along with transport and hydrolytic activity of the enzyme we have monitored alterations in free radical production, cellular reduced glutathione, and ATP levels. Both active K(+) influx and ouabain-sensitive inorganic phosphate production were maximal within the physiological pO(2) range of 3-5 kPa. Transport and hydrolytic activity of the Na/K ATPase was equally suppressed under hypoxic and hyperoxic conditions. The ATPase response to changes in oxygenation was isoform specific and limited to the alpha1-containing isozyme whereas alpha2/3-containing isozymes were oxygen insensitive. Rapid activation of the enzyme within a narrow window of oxygen concentrations did not correlate with alterations in the cellular ATP content or substantial shifts in redox potential but was completely abolished when NO production by the cells was blocked by l-NAME. Taken together our observations suggest that NO and its derivatives are involved in maintenance of high Na/K ATPase activity under physiological conditions.

Eric Wyman
Wyman joined the UIC coaching ranks as an undergraduate assistant coach and will help Head Coach Mike Dee with the Flames' pitching staff.
Wyman just recently completed his eligibility for the Flames this past spring. In his four years at UIC, Wyman, who worked primarily out of the bullpen, posted four wins and four saves in 83 appearances for UIC, which ranks third all-time in program history. In 2011, the left-hander made 30 appearances which ties for fifth all-time and collected all four saves, which ranks tied for 10th in Flames history. For his career, Wyman averaged 9.5 strikeouts per nine innings and on May 22, 2010 he fanned a career-high 10 Valparaiso Crusaders in just five innings of work.
"It's a little bit of a different experience for me because I played with most of these guys just last season," said Wyman. "It's going to be a good experience and I'm excited.
"I like all the guys on the team. The younger pitchers worked with and listened to me last year, so I'm sure they'll listen again now that they have to because I'm a coach," said Wyman. "I'm going to try [coaching] this season and see how goes. I'm looking forward to it."

Black and white imagery reveal texture, detail, light, and shadow that the eye may miss in a color photograph. Here is a beautiful and useful book of 50 stunning monochrome images from Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Texas, Washington, Ireland, and Washington, paired with 50 blank, lined pages for your own musings and doodles.
I have a "day job", but my "night job" and serious hobby is photography. I've been a photographer since high school (eons ago). I inherited my love of the medium from my father, who in his day used his Mamiya twin-lens reflex to capture Ansel Adams-worthy scenes of my home state of Montana. My first digital camera was a 2MP point-and-shoot from a local store. Since then, I have never looked back to film. I've traveled and/or lived in Montana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California,New Mexico, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas, Western Canada, London, and Ireland. I hope to do much more travel and photograph many more things before all is said and done.

by Lisa - Owner, Chic Shops Baby
They say âwhen it rains it poursâ. This is especially true in the case of baby showers â get out your umbrellas, there never seems to be just one! Arm yourself this shower season so youâre not stuck scouring the mall instead of enjoying the sunshine. Itâs thoughtful and appreciated to shop off a mom-to-beâs registry if she has one. But Diaper Genieâs and humidifiers while practical can be blah.
Add some âoh, how cute!â factor with these baby finds.
Busy gals shop smartly for the showers in their datebook and stock up on the cutest shower gifts by buying these inexpensive goodies in bulk and including them with a bigger gift:
1. Trumpette Socks â the most adorable socks, hightops for boys or sweet mary janeâs for girls. One box contains 10 pairs.
2. A New Babyâs Life calendar- a baby book for the fun-loving, modern mom.
3. Abbey Hill Creations âblingâ pacifiers and pacifier holders â add some sparkle to their binky! And not just for girls, see skulls or soccer balls for boys.
If itâs not personalized â itâs not happening. The biggest trend out there is customized gifts. It can be difficult if the expecting parents havenât picked out a name yet, but itâs always chic to use the last name or last initial on a gift:
1. Admiral Road â the cutest, modern blankets. Just add the babyâs name.
2. Sweet Arts Design â precious alphabet baby books with an educational bent- they are available in French or Spanish too!
3. Peek a Boo Art â wall art with the rugratâs name and birth date.
Donât let your friends schlep baby supplies in dull diaper bags. There are so many gorgeous ones to choose from:
1. Debbie Rott Diaper Bags â studded, for the tough girl.
2. Mia Bossi â hip and sophisticated for the couture girl.
3. Diaper Dude- for the girl who wears the pants (makes her husband carry the baby gear while she rocks a Botkier).
Donât forget mom! Something fun for the one doing all the hard work is always welcome:
1. Hanky Panky Thongs â who doesnât love fresh new underthings
2. Sugar Toes â sparkly flip flops (to show off her feet until she gets back into those jeans)
3. Spanx â help her get back into those jeans!
And letâs face it; the best gift you can give is you! Bring the new parents some dinner and offer to babysit so they can catch up on some sleep. For a guide to more fab baby shopping, visit www.chicshopsbaby.com.

Do you guys ever get this? Some dude with a chip on his shoulder singles you out, and bores a hole into you for no reason other than stupid, ape dominance. I've been dealing with this lately.
Everyday this dude in my Spanish class walks past me, and he stares right at me, his chest puffed up and his head back as if he's looking for a challenger.
I first tried the head nod to no success, and I don't know about you guys, but if I don't get a head nod in return I feel slighted. Later I considered that perhaps he thinks I'm the one giving him looks, and so I've said "Hello" to try to cut the tension. He reciprocated to my surprise. But then the next day it was the same alpha stare-down shit, so I say "Hello" again. He reciprocates. Now everyday he stares me down until I say hello. What the hell is going on here? What the hell is this dude's problem? Am I in a college classroom or a prison lunch room?
I'll admit that at first the caveman in me wants to sit there and play eyeball chicken too. But then the higher faculties kick-in, I realize that I'm being a macho idiot, and I let the other guy get his little victory. It's annoying...
How do you guys deal with this type thing, or with aggressive dudes in general?
Views: 4138
I know a guy who grew up in an abusive home and was isolated from friends and teachers. He can't fake a smile, and your head-nod social cue would be lost on him. He's in no way aggressive; he's just not socially aware. In your classmate, a mental illness is another possible explanation for the behavior.
You've got a few options. You can continue as you are. You can act the same but let your mature mind take control and resolve not to be annoyed by it. You can try to make friends.
I've also thought that he may be a bit off mentally. It just does not seem like normal behavior, especially in the classroom. I would definitely not want to be friends with him.
If he is mentally ill, I wonder if that would be cause for more concern. What is going on in this guy's head? He's going to make me paranoid!
The mentally ill are more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators.
I'm thinking he has a problem interpreting social cues, and was taught to return/maintain eye contact, and to say "hello" back, but wasn't taught about head nods and your other social cues. If I'm right, he's probably had the condition since he was a small child and has worked very hard to be able to go to school and live a mostly normal life.
You're obviously very social and self-aware. Lots of people aren't. What is easy, even innate, for you can be very hard for others. That's no reason to write them off as friends.
[not saying you need to be friends with someone who creeps you out; just saying that there are more relevant factors than you seem to be considering when you make a decide whom to make friends with]
Thanks for your perspective, Rebekah.
I'm glad I asked.
If this guy really is mentally ill, then I can see how he may get into trouble with criminal types, who would make the same mistake about his body language as I did, but who would likely escalate to violence. So, yeah, he could easily become a victim.
It is not obvious that he is mentally ill, though. He's actually really smart. He seems to grasp what the prof. puts out better than anyone else in the class. I know intelligence and mental health are not mutually exclusive, but when intelligence is evident, the possibility of a mental illness shy of psychosis would seem less evident. At least to me anyway...
Keeping what you say in mind will help me to get over being annoyed. And I suppose I'm only annoyed because I have a strain of stupid, macho ape in me too.
I pretty much feel like I'm the jerk now.
*sigh* So much work to do to end stigma. Consider: One in four Americans suffers from a mental illness. Young adulthood is the most common age to develop a mental illness. So, chances are more than one of your friends has a mental illness.
Yes, that seems likely.
BTW the sort of thing Rebekah's talking about isn't inconsistent w/ being smart. I've had a student that was brilliant and had major trouble relating to, well, everyone. Can happen.
I was thinking of a high-functioning individual with autism, yes
An innocent smile and a wave work wonders. Disarming and catches people off guard. Better be sure you can hold your own in a brawl though, in case they think you're just being a smartass.
I'm just going to ignore the dude all together, I think. Nothing about him makes me want to smile.
Geez... what a disaster a brawl would be. Can you imagine that in a college setting? I might sooner just take a punch! I need to graduate.
If it were a continued assault though, and my hand were forced, well, I know I have a bag of tricks and I'm no weakling. I trained kick-boxing and jiu-jitsu for about two-years-and-some-change (though I'm already about 3-4 years rusty). I was pretty solid for a beginner, and if you know any MMA, you would know a solid beginner knows a thing or two about how to hurt someone.
Brush him off like a girl who's into you but you don't share the feeling for. Eh?
Or just introduce yourself. He may not realize he is giving off that vibe. He may be thinking, "that Dolph looks like an interesting guy." He might not have balls to introduce himself to you, and that is a common issue. However, I am guessing by now the class is over, and it is no longer an issue. This will not be the last time this happens to you.

Wildcats Drop Cal State Northridge Finale, 2-0
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 02/16/2014
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Locked in another defensive chess match to close out the finale of the three-game series with Cal State Northridge, the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats failed to convert on offensive opportunities and fell to the Matadors, 2-0, on Sunday (Feb. 16) at Jackie Robinson Ballpark.
"It was a close game," Head Coach Jascon Beverlin said. "We did a lot of good things this weekend, and the defense was excellent today and all weekend. We had runners on today, but we just couldn't come up with that big hit in some big situations."
As expected, pitching and defense was the emphasis for both teams in Sunday's rubber match, with scoreless action continuing through five complete innings. Starter Scott Garner maintained a no-hitter through those five frames, but the Matadors broke through with a three-hit inning in the top of the sixth. Using the spark, CSN put up runs in consecutive innings, using RBI from first baseman Alexis Mercado and shortstop Brett Balkan to take a 2-0 lead.
The Wildcats were not without opportunities, with 10 runners left on base, including bases-loaded situations in the bottom of the third and seventh, but couldn't convevert to bring the score back to even.
With the loss, CSN takes the series and B-CU falls to 1-2 on the year. However, the two losses came by a combined three runs.
Garner takes the loss, pitching 6.1 innings with four hits, two walks and a pair of strikeouts.
For Cal State Northridge, starter Jordan Johnson (1-0) earned the win, throwing 5.1 innings with five strikeouts. Reliever Michael Coates picked up his first save for his appearance in the ninth.
Offensively, left fielder Bryant Munoz went 2-for-4 at the plate to lead the Wildcats.
The Wildcats return to action next weekend, Feb. 21-23, at Jackie Robinson Ballpark, in a three-game series with Florida Gulf Coast. The Eagles (3-1) completed a four-game weekend series on Sunday, topping Rhode Island in the finale, 4-3.

I'm going to lift my Jeep wrangler and I would really like to use fox racing shocks which are for 4 inch lift kits, but I really don't need a 4 inch lift and they cost a whole lot. Would it work to use the 4 inch shocks with a 2.5 inch lift kit?

Not familiar with the exact application, but in general it's a bad idea putting longer shocks into lower vehicles. That's assuming that the left kits don't actually move the mounting points too and retain the same length/travel requirements.
In short no.Any competent 4x4 shop will tell you.Bear in mind big lifts raise centre of gravity which will impair stability particularly with a laden roof rack.

This is a pleasant trek through the lowlands that offers some beautiful scenery, but it won't be much of a workout for the body/brain. Better do a few push-ups and some Sudoku. That said, if you slow down and really take in everything the view has to offer the eyes and ears, you might start to appreciate this hike on a different level.

Super Bowl XLVII is the most anticipated event football fans eagerly can't wait for all year long.
It is also the biggest money–maker for broadcast station FOX that will be airing the game and some of the best and worst commercials for Super Bowl 2014.
The excitement about the Super Bowl isn't necessarily about the game itself. Okay, maybe for some people, but for small business owners it's a great way to watch the commercials for ideas and inspiration in how to make your company's marketing and advertising stand apart from your competition.
Remember the 2012 Volkswagen commercial?
It's the one where the boy is dressed as Darth Vader and is walking around the house trying desperately to "start something", and then his dad comes home. He heads outside, not to greet him, but to see if he can start the car. He puts up his hands and then…Boom! The car starts and he jumps! He also doesn't realize his dad actually had something to do with it.
That was a great commercial and got people talking at the office water cooler the next day.
It engaged the audience and brought them in making them watch the entire commercial to see what would happen at the end.
Commercials do more than advertise your company's marketing message:
- They can capture a new target audience.
- Commercials can help you step back from your own marketing and see what can be done differently to engage your own target audience.
- They can also provide a source of inspiration.
So before you decide that it's not worth your time to watch the game or you think that skipping the commercials on America's biggest sporting event, Super Bowl XLVIII won't hurt your business, you might want to consider watching because you knew know where your next great idea might come from.
Super Bowl 2014 will be held at the Meadowlands in New Jersey this Sunday, February 2, 2014 with the Seattle Seahawks will be taking on the Denver Broncos.
Kick off is at 6:30 p.m. EST.

Leaders of various components of the Central African Republic's mainly Muslim Seleka rebel group met on Tuesday to formally recognize newly-selected seleka chief Gen. Joseph Ndeko
BANGUI – Leaders of various components of the Central African Republic (CAR)'s mainly Muslim Seleka rebel group met on Tuesday to formally recognize newly-selected seleka chief Gen. Joseph Ndeko at a ceremony held one week ahead of schedule.
"The change of plans aims at bringing together the disoriented sub-groups of the Seleka alliance," Gen. Ndeko told Anadolu Agency on Tuesday.
"This will be part of my mission," he said. "All the components of the alliance are aware of the importance of such a step."
Tuesday's inauguration ceremony, held in the southern city of Bambari – some 375km north of capital Bangui – had initially been slated for May 21.
On Saturday, the militia's upper echelons chose Ndeko as the group's "chief of staff," succeeding Gen. Issa Isaka.
The announcement was made after a two-day conference of the militia's splinter groups in Ndele, some 500km north of Bangui.
Established in August 2012, the Seleka militia was drawn from rebel forces opposed to then-president Francois Bozize, a Christian.
One year later, the Seleka militia managed to remove Bozize from office and install Michel Djotodia, a Muslim, in power. The latter, however, under international pressure, resigned earlier this year, to be succeeded by Catherine Samba-Panza, a Christian.
According to sources attending the conference, Ndeko was the most qualified candidate in terms of the criteria set for the post, such as military experience and fluency in French.
Sources with the group say seleka leaders are currently mulling the launch of a political party.
Anti-Muslim violence has escalated since January, when Samba-Panza was elected interim president.
Since last December, thousands, mostly Muslims, have been killed in sectarian bloodletting throughout the country.
The violence has been blamed on the Christian anti-balaka militia, which accuses Muslims of supporting former Seleka rebels blamed for attacking Christian homes, looting property and carrying out summary executions.
According to the U.N. refugee agency (UNHCR), more than 173,000 people have been internally displaced by the violence, while another 37,000 have fled the county.

Europe's tallest skyscraper is one of the buildings caught up in electrical storms moving across the UK, bringing disruption.
09:54, UK, Friday 23 May 2014
Europe's tallest skyscraper, The Shard, was struck by lightning as rain and hail storms passed over the country.
A picture taken of the moment the bolt struck the London landmark shows a single fork of electricity hitting the very top of the 87-storey structure, which stands at 306 metres (1,004ft) tall.
Visitors to the observation deck on the 72nd floor reported being terrified as a flash of light hit the building above them.
A spokesman for The Shard said he was not aware of a strike as there was no damage, but the building had lightning conductors designed to prevent it being affected.
Sky's weather service said the worst of the storms were expected to move north into northern England and Scotland before easing to generally unsettled weather.

For punters, there's a single overriding factor in deciding whether or not you should follow a horse racing tipster, and that revolves around money. A good tipster gives you a return on investment over the long-term.
Here are tips for following a betting tipster:
1. Assess a tipster's claims on his track record. Do they provide solid returns on a punter's betting capital over the long haul? Are they frequently on winning streaks?
2. Does the tipster possess considerable knowledge about horse racing? Do they consistently acquire inside information or special insights that place you at a competitive advantage over the long haul? Does their betting methodology seem analytically sound, and is their thesis plausible? Don't fall prey to a phony.
3. Notice that placing wagers on horse races inevitably involve variance – short-term fluctuations in results. That's because each runner, no matter their historical display of blazing speed, must face a large field of competitors. However, ask yourself if the collection of advice conveyed by the tipster produce more winning sessions than losing ones over a period of time. If so, then the tipster probably has a proven methodology of assessing the marketplace's (i.e., bookmakers) pricing of odds.
4. Look at a tipster's reputation. Is the tipster considered a promising or established authority in horse racing? Or is the tipster a relatively unknown entity?
5. Is the wagering advice conveyed in a professional manner? Tipping involves trust as the punter must risk his or her capital based on third party advice. An unprofessional presentation could place the bettor at risk of a scam.
6. Go for reasonably priced subscription costs. That allows you to compare several tipsters without committing too much capital on betting advice. High priced fees could signal a scam or fraudulent operation.
Tipsters create value for punters by enabling the latter to allocate their betting capital on racehorses that have been priced incorrectly by bookmakers and the marketplace. They typically possess inside information on runners, trainers, weather and track conditions, injuries and any other variable that can affect the outcome of a meeting. Good tipsters look for trends and follow emerging patterns which are intended to give punters a betting advantage.

With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
The Nature Conservancy in Rhode Island is thrilled to announce that Janet Coit, our state director since 2003, has been nominated by Governor-elect Lincoln Chafee to be the next Director of the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management. Her appointment is subject to official confirmation by the Rhode Island state senate.
Janet joined the Conservancy in 2001 as Director of Government Relations, after a successful career in Washington, D.C. and in Rhode Island working for the late U.S. Senator John H. Chafee. She was named as the Conservancy's State Director in 2003, and during that time oversaw some of our largest projects in Rhode Island, including the acquisition of the 1,800-acre Tillinghast Pond Preserve in West Greenwich, bringing its land protection total to 30,000 acres. She also successfully directed the group's more recent emphasis on coastal and marine restoration projects, such as our current oyster reef construction project in Charlestown.
"It is with such mixed feelings that I have accepted Governor-elect Chafee's offer to head the Rhode Island DEM," Janet said. "The staff at the Conservancy are an incredibly talented, hard-working, and effective group and together we have done so much over the last seven years. But I'm eager to accept this new challenge leading the State's terrific DEM employees in protecting Rhode Island's irreplaceable environment."
"We are so proud of Janet and all of her accomplishments during her time as state director of the Conservancy in Rhode Island," said Austin Smith, the Conservancy's board chair for the state. "It has been an absolute pleasure working with her and we know she will be a terrific Director of the Department of Environmental Management."
Janet's will be wrapping up her work at the Conservancy in late-December. The Conservancy's board of trustees in Rhode Island are currently developing a transition and recruiting plan for her position which will be announced in the coming weeks.

who we are
Mattie Stepanek and Three Dot Dash
When WAFF first learned of Mattie J.T. Stepanek, an 11-year-old poet and peacemaker with muscular dystrophy and a resume that included 6 New York Times bestsellers, they were struck by his astute observations about human nature and his universal message of hope and peace. His vision of a global family perfectly aligned with WAFF's mission, and they chose him as the first We Are Family Peacemaker Award honoree because of his significant contributions toward promoting a peaceful society, including his belief that in order for there to be peace, one must have all of their basic human needs met: food, water, health, shelter, safety, education and the environment.
When Mattie died in 2004 just before his 14th birthday, his work and message had already inspired millions around the world, and was carried far and wide with the help of his mentors and public media figures including Oprah Winfrey, President Jimmy Carter, Dr. Maya Angelou and Larry King. Mattie's visionary leadership inspired WAFF's Three Dot Dash global teen initiative, recognizing and supporting Global Teen Leaders (GTLs) all over the world who are actively working on projects that promote a more peaceful society through basic needs. Just like Mattie, these GTLs have important voices waiting to be heard, and Three Dot Dash teaches GTLs how to be heard. Mattie's message continues to inspire WAFF, Three Dot Dash, GTLs and millions of global family members all over the world, expanding the circle of peace each day.

Claudia Goodine takes a glance at the past, courtesy of the Canadian Geographical Journal archives.
In just over 60 years, the way we speak about oil has dramatically changed.
In E.M. Holbrook's 1949 feature article, Oil from the Earth, pages from a not so distant history capture the height of our love affair with petroleum.
"What substance in the world is most useful to man?" Holbrook writes.
"Which portion of Nature's generous bounty is of the greatest benefit to civilization's constant struggle for progress? Perhaps it is water or wood, you say. Or is it perhaps iron, or gold, or uranium? A case could be made for any of those and many others but this is the story of petroleum, a product of the earth that has so many thousands of uses that it can hardly avoid being called man's most versatile servant."
A browse through 100 titles of the top selling books about oil in the last decade show a prominence of gloomy words: peak, climate change, war and crisis (as illustrated in our word cloud above, courtesy of Tagxedo).
It's a far cry from Holbrook's language in Oil from the Earth, in which the author lists various uses for oil, from plastics and medicines to its role in securing "democracy's victory" in World War II.
Holbrook's piece reflects an era when oil supplies seemed limitless.
The same year Holbrook's article was published, Canada's population of 13 million used about two million barrels of oil every week.
The population has since more than doubled, but our oil consumption has increased seven-fold. We now consume more than two million barrels of oil every day, or 15 million barrels every week.
Peak oil is no longer a hypothetical scenario. In fact, conventional oil production already hit its peak in 2006 according to the International Energy Association.
Unconventional sources of energy such as Alberta's oil sands and B.C.'s shale gas are now being exploited in part due to the dwindling reserves of cheap oil. Their extraction from the earth deals heavy-handed blows to the environment.
The discourse may have changed since Holbrook sat down to write the article. A writer today might employ a different vocabulary to write a similar piece. Yet their attitude toward human ingenuity might not change.
People power
Holbrook credits the achievements of the petroleum industry to "fast and vigorous action, ingenious experiment and daring enterprise."
Chris Turner, a leading writer and speaker on sustainability, expresses similar enthusiasm towards the renewable energy industry. In his latest book, The Leap: How to Survive and Thrive in a Sustainable Economy, Turner suggests that with similar vigorous action, experiment and daring enterprise, we can usher in a green energy economy.
'Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated," he writes, referring to an old axiom. "You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps."
Human ingenuity and technology may have led to innovations in renewable energy, but we continue to rely on oil reserves and unconventional sources of oil.
Looking ahead, however, oil is not the single most important source of energy fueling our future. Today, we tend to view a mix of renewable energy sources as solutions to our energy challenges.

Funds Flow to Electric Cars: White House Unveils $2.4 Billion in Grants to Jump-Start Industry in Midwest
By Elizabeth Williamson on August 6, 2009
President Barack Obama used a factory in one of the most economically battered U.S. manufacturing regions Wednesday as the backdrop to unveil $2.4 billion in stimulus grants to jump-start an electric-vehicle industry centered in the Midwest. The program, outlined by Mr. Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and other members of his administration in separate appearances in six states, would make the U.S. government the major financial backer for 48 different projects to develop and produce electric-vehicle batteries, electric-drive components and various kinds of electric vehicles.

CLOVIS, N.M. - Residents in Eastern New Mexico and western part of the Texas Panhandle who are looking for a way to start out the Christmas giving season can help themselves as well as needy children through the Toys for Tots program.
ENMR/Plateau Telecommunications, a wireless phone service provider that covers eastern New Mexico and parts of the Texas Panhandle, kicked off its collection of toys this week at all of its retail outlets and is offering an incentive to get people into the holiday spirit.
"Part of our mission is being involved in the community," said Jay Gurley, director of communications for Plateau. "Last year, we were looking for a way that we could give something back during the holidays and we came up with this idea."
Plateau is offering a discount on a phone purchase at all of its 13 retail outlets for anyone who brings in a new, unwrapped toy worth at least $10 for Toys for Tots, Gurley said.
Toys for Tots has been run by the U.S. Marine Corps for more than 50 years and serves as a way of providing Christmas toys for needy children. Last year, the program gathered over 15 million toys that were distributed to 6 million children.
Last year, Plateau contributed 3,300 toys and $6,500 to the cause.
This year, Gurley said Plateau is hoping to top those numbers and has started off strong with more than 100 gifts donated by its employees alone.
"We think this is a very good deal for everyone," Gurley said. "It drives traffic into our retail stores while providing benefits to a very worthy cause."
The toy collection and incentive offer will continue through the end of November.

Says the silly sparrow a gossip in the grain
Have you heard the, oh you don't say
Someday, someday snow shall fill the trees
You best make warm eves
Callous is the old crow, he mock even the sun
Eyes as black as blood, bone crack in the craw
He'd say, he'd say always never mind
Always never mind
Truth be beggar that holds his tongue
Dines on none, none but air alone

Cued by a fiddle, Ashley VanHandel started the jig: A stomp, kick, shuffle of feet and another stomp.
Her red ringlets bounced as she kicked and moved across the floor, her feet in a fast-paced rhythm with the melody. After a few minutes, the music ended and she took a bow.
The rigorous footwork of Irish stepdancing was on display Saturday at the Hilton Vancouver Washington, where hundreds of dancers showed off their technique and choreography to a panel of judges at the annual Feile Samhain competition. Students of all ages from 32 dance academies from up and down the West Coast competed. The event continues today.
Though brief, the 16-year-old Camas girl's complicated routine was perfected from four-days-a-week practices and stamina training. "I did my best," VanHandel said afterward.
Irish stepdancing is rich in cultural tradition, but still has progressive influences. Women and girl performers wore elaborate wigs with tight ringlets, a tradition from Ireland, when women would curl their hair after church for dancing, said event organizer Lauren Mueller.
Their dresses were brightly colored, some fluorescent, with beads. This practice came from the Irish tradition that the most prestigious dancers wore dresses that were the most elaborately adorned, Mueller said.
And don't let the curls and the bows fool you, Irish stepdancing is a sport, she said.
"It's more athletic than you see in shows," Mueller said. "It's anaerobic, not aerobic."
To build endurance, many of Mueller's students at Portland's An Daire Academy of Irish Dance cross-train in other sports, such as swimming and soccer.
Irish step itself takes many forms. Group dances are more traditional and judged for technique and timing, while solo dances can take more broad interpretation of the music.
The footwork is choreographed by the dancer and instructor and can draw from other dance forms, such as Flamenco, Mueller said.
Many dancers, such as VanHandel, hail Irish ancestry, but it's certainly not a prerequisite, Mueller said. The rise of theatrical show "Riverdance" in the 1990s contributed to the popularity of Irish step dancing.
"We have a mix of backgrounds," Mueller said.
A dancer for eight years, VanHandel said she began taking step lessons at the prompting of her grandmother. Her grandma thought Irish dance would be a great way for VanHandel to learn more about her Scotch-Irish heritage. It turned out to be a great source of community for her, she said.
"I have a lot of good friends," she said. "It's just really fulfilling."
Another Clark County dancer, Sierra Nyberg of Vancouver, said she appreciates the fast-pace nature of Irish stepdancing. Also a dancer for eight years, the 20-year-old said she performed tap, jazz and hip hop, among other types of dance, before Irish step.
She started when her dance academy began offering the form of dancing and she saw a group perform. She was blown away.
"I love the competitive side of it," she said.
