The Top 10 (Proven) Health Benefits of Video Games
The best reasons to play video games may not include sitting down in front of a TV or computer screen for the health benefits, but there are some health benefits to playing video games that many video game enthusiasts aren't aware of. Most gamers play games for one reason: because they're fun. The things that makes us happy in life are always worth indulging in; we only get one life and we should enjoy it as much as we can, but there are those who claim that gaming is bad for us.
What are the health benefits of video games? Whether they claim games are making us anti-social, violent or just plain fat, the mainstream media loves to demonize games and make us feel guilty about playing. The truth though is that there are many legitimate health benefits to our hobby, and here are a few of them.

Andy Carroll: Back Toon the Future [picture]
A season-long loan bid from Newcastle was rejected yesterday by Liverpool, but it has been suggested that the 23-year-old would be keen on a move back to his hometown club following the revelation that he is unlikely to feature heavily in Rogers plans as he looks to bring his intricate passing style of football to Anfield.
Newcastle's loan offer is understood to have been minimal and is expected to be a precursor to a more serious bid later in the transfer window. Some have speculated that the loan offer agreed by Mike Ashley was a ploy to tug on the heart strings of Andy Carroll and encourage the striker to play his part in making the transfer a reality.
The release clause in Demba Ba's contract combined with the departures of Peter Lovenkrands and Leon best could mean that Alan Pardew will need to bring in attacking reinforcements this summer. The Magpies have been left frustrated in their pursuit of FC Twente striker Luuk de Joing, which might make the idea of bringing former terrace hero Carroll back to Tyneside more appealing.
The highest offer Newcastle would be expected to make for Carroll is around £15 million, which would be an exceptional bit of business for Mike Ashley. Whether Liverpool would be willing to accept such an offer remains to be seen, given the humiliation they have suffered after paying what turned out to be a massively over inflated figure for the striker in back in January 2011.

Mircat Serin, the Moldovan UEFA delegate has said that society and the media have some role to play in glamorising the behaviour of football stars on and off the pitch. Speaking following the acquittal of John Terry, Mr Serin said that it is incumbent on the opinion-formers to ensure that young people do not see that bad behaviour on the pitch is one that is aspirational.

For Los Angeles Faith & Community, film and filmmakers was the overriding theme of 2013. Whether it was the film festivals, the red carpets, or the artists who inhabited both, the Los Angeles film industry was particularly potent and took center stage.
However, the focus on faith through championing for life and life-affirming events and measures was not far behind. The year launched with a column on Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.While it is encouraging that more and younger people are choosing Life, until the plague of abortion is eradicated, this day will continue to hold significance.
The MovieGuide(R) Awards celebrated its 21st year in February, and Los Angeles Faith & Community was on the red carpet to discover the staying power and growth of this awards show which spotlights family-friendly films and family values.
One of the more quality and powerful faith-based film offerings of the year was King's Faith, about foster children, foster parents, and overcoming the past. Los Angeles Faith & Community reviewed the film and interviewed the lead actor, Crawford Wilson on his burgeoning career and what attracted him to such a project. "It's such a powerful message in this sense: that we can change as people, we can always become better. You don't have to be defined by your mistakes," he said.
May always kicks off with the National Day of Prayer, and Faith & Community spotlighted ministries in Los Angeles and nationally whose focus and commitment set the tone and tenor for national prayer, and those who organized prayer gatherings in their city.
In June, the Dances with Films Festival celebrated 16 years over 11 days. Movies like With No Regrets: A Dancin' Man's Journey, Kumpania Flamenco Los Angeles, and The Advocate were creative and innovative labors of love that represented the soul and passionate sweat of the independent filmmaker.
The artists behind the lens held equal weight with their creations; for without them, there would be no vision for the screen. This year's most insightful sit downs involved writer-director-actor Jason Victor Everett and his powerful short Skinhead Requiem, about the alchemy of nature and the choices that we make. Parish Rahbar and Tara Moini of Renovatio Movies took the film circuit by storm with their short, Fade, and are part of the tribe of female (and Iranian) producers/directors that wants to show their culture in a different light. Web editor and producer Parisa Soultani is also a part of this tribe. Soultani's passionate vision for sharing the Iranian culture through the Bridge to Iran series, and other Link TV projects was enlightening, refreshing, and part of the best of 2013.
The Faith to inspire and transform was also shown in the causes and events covered. The 79th annual Ms. Senior California Pageant involved seasoned women who believed in the power of God to enrich life at any age, and had faith in themselves and their gifts. These ladies were an inspiration for all generations.
Nicholas Jordan's Wells of Life organization seeks to change the face of Uganda, one water well at a time. It was satisfying and heartwarming to see money being raised for this worthy cause of water rights.
These are only a small sampling of the people, events, and projects that made 2013 a spectacular year for Los Angeles Faith & Community. Stick around in 2014 for an even greater abundance of all this page has to offer.
Happy New Year!

Previous studies have shown that Pseudolaric acid B (PAB), a medicinal plant-derived terpenoid, is a promising chemopreventive or therapeutic agent against various types of cancer. However, less is known regarding its activity against prostate cancer. The objective of the current study is designed to determine the anti-prostate cancer effects of PAB. We demonstrated here that PAB was highly effective against both androgen-dependent (LNCaP) and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells (PC-3 and DU145) through the mechanisms involved in induction of G2/M cell cycle arrest, caspase-dependent apoptosis and autophagic cell death. Furthermore, PAB can greatly sensitize these two aggressive androgen-independent prostate cancer cells to ABT-737-induced cytotoxicity. Our findings suggest that PAB holds excellent potential as either novel chemopreventive agent or enhancer of therapeutic drug against prostate cancer. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Shortstop Tila Reynolds went 2-for-4 and made several outstanding defensive plays to help the Washington baseball team beat Oregon State, 10-7, in a non-Pac-10 game Tuesday at Goss Stadium. The two teams play a three-game conference series later in the spring in Seattle.
Reynolds, a sophomore from Renton (Liberty High), was playing for the first time against younger brother Kerisi Reynolds, the Beavers' freshman second baseman. The Huskies' Reynolds had a home run, a double, a walk and two RBI and dove twice to snag line drives. Senior Marc Rittenhouse went 3-for-4 with two doubles and stole home on a straight steal in the eighth to help the Husky cause.
The Huskies (6-2) jumped on OSU starter Paul Williams (1-1) in the first. After Rittenhouse led off with a double, Reynolds hit his second homer of the year over the left field fence. A single and a walk later, Tyler Davidson drove in a run with a single and Williams was relieved by Ben Rowe, who gave up a two-run double to Jefferson Thiel that staked the UW with a 5-0 lead.
The Beavers (8-8) responded quickly, however, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first. OSU loaded the bases on two singles and a hit batter when Brian Barden bounced what looked like an inning-ending double play ball towards second base. But the ball skipped past Rittenhouse, allowing two runs to score. A single from Andy Jarvis drove in a third run before a line drive double play ended the inning.
Reynolds struck for the Huskies again in the second as he doubled off the wall in left- center and scored on a Jay Garthwaite single to give Washington a 6-3 edge. In the fourth, the Huskies extended the lead to 9-3 when Bryan Johnson belted a three-run homer off the scoreboard in right field.
After a two-run homer from OSU's Josh Carter and Rittenhouse's steal of home left the score at 10-5, the Beavers threatened in the eighth. Seth Pietsch led off the inning with a solo homer off of UW reliever Mike Bomar, who had thrown 10 scoreless relief innings this season. After another run had scored, reliever Shawn Kohn got a strikeout and a groundout to leave the bases loaded.
Zack Daniels (1-0) threw five innings for the victory. Sophomore Scott Robertson recorded the final three outs of the game for his third save of the year. Williams threw only a third of an inning in the loss.
The Huskies and Beavers continue the brief, two-game series Wednesday with another 2:00 p.m. game.

Rethinking your Business around SOA
By crupi on Gsh 04, 2005
I think companies are starting to see the amazing impact SOA can have on their overall business value proposition.
Think about Amazon.com. Most people would say that Amazon.com is a site to buy lots of products. In their mind, Amazon.com's website and Amazon.com the company are the same. But, Amazon doesn't appear to see it that way....
As an Amazon outsider (which means I'm hypothesizing to make a point), I bet it went something like this:
Amazon.com, the beginning:
\* Business Unit: Leverage this thing called the Internet and create a website to sell books to the world. Make tons of money. Build an easy-to-use website so people of all ages can buy books. Track their buying patterns and let them rate the books so others can see.
\* IT: Ok, we can build an awesome, intuitive web site and a commerce engine to support it.
So, basically, Amazon.com the website and Amazon.com the commerce engine were one. In other words, the commerce engine needed to support one channel; the Amazon.com website.
But, as time went on, the smart people at Amazon.com started recognizing the web services potential. They provided REST and SOAP apis so developers/companies could access their services outside of the Amazon.com website. Developers liked this and were amazed at the simplicity and power in being able to access Amazon.com's powerful commerce engine. But, there was something else happening.
A few years ago I did a search for a product on Amazon.com and it showed me the same product from partners at a lower cost than Amazon.com was offering. I thought I found a bug and tried it again. Same thing happened. Amazon.com was revealing partner products at lower prices on the same page as their higher price. From the periphery, this made little business sense. But, thinking about it, it become genius.
It looked like Amazon.com had begun treating Amazon.com the website and its partners as close equivalents. But, more importantly, if Amazon.com's commerce engine was actually separated from Amazon.com the website, then it sounds like their business model changes from selling products on Amazon.com, to generating revenue from their commerce engine. And this is my point and the value SOA can bring to radically (and rapidly) change a business. You can already see this happening at eBay and Google.
Think about this. What if AOL didn't have a web presence anymore, but offered (probably) the world's largest digital asset management system (picture, video, music, etc) as services so others could build business on them. Sounds like a SOA opportunity to me. Why didn't AOL build the worlds best digital picture SOA for others to build a business. If they had, Snapfish, Ofoto (now Kodak Gallery), etc could have built their business on it and AOL would have reaped big rewards.
Is WebEx a web-based meeting company or do they provide a web-based meeting infrastructure. WebEx just opened their APIs as web services and already companies are sprouting up which run on the WebEx services. Wait until ISVs start picking up on the fact that everyone needs web-based communication within their applications. Are they going to build their own or access WebEx's services. In the future, I predict WebEx makes more money on it's SOA communication services than the actual WebEx brand offering.
I want to finish up with a graphic of what I think will be the way we think about how SOA can open up new and amazing business opportunities. Not just for existing companies, but new companies which build on these services. I like to call this new type of company, the Composite Company. Imagine the opportunity when companies such as AOL, Google, eBay, etc all open up their services and have a uniform identity scheme. The types of Composite Companies who aggregate and provide a service on top of these rich services will provide services not available today. It's mind-boggling to think what will happen when businesses provide SOA services as their core competency and Composite Companies begin to arrive.

"I tried this recipe and I did make adjustments: I used a 15-oz. can of apricot halves in its juice and pear juice which I drained off and reserved for the batter: 6 Tbsp. instead of the peach halves. I used 1/3 cup flaked coconut. I think for me that it would've been better if I'd greased and floured my9" round baking pan! I'd also baked the cake 55 minutes and the cake did test done, but the top was quite firm and browned. It WAS very good, but I know now that if I make this cake again, to bake just 50 minutes! I also probably would use about 6 Tbsp. of melted butter-I don't think that 1/3 cup of butter was enough! I admit that I HAD combined the brown sugar with the melted butter-next time, I'll plan to sprinkle the brown sugar over the melted butter! This IS a good recipe and thank you for sharing it with Taste of Home!delowenstein"

OccuNomix International LLC, the leader in high visibility work wear and safety products, announced today the acquisition of the OK-1 safety products division of OK-1 Manufacturing Company in Altus, OK. OK-1 Safety is a prominent brand in high visibility work wear and ergonomic safety products. Altus brand sporting goods are not included in the acquisition and will continue as a separate company.
Douglas Rose, Chairman of OccuNomix and Managing Partner of Gardner Webster Capital Partners, noted "This is an exciting time for OccuNomix as this acquisition unites two of the most respected brands of high visibility work wear and ergonomic safety products, and will expand the scale and capabilities of both companies to better serve our customers."
Paul Russo, CEO of OccuNomix, is "delighted with the acquisition, which adds OK-1's high quality products to our line, increases our scale, and provides established relationships with new customers while expanding our relationships with existing customers." He added that the businesses will be combined in a deliberate manner, in close collaboration with customers, to prevent disruptions. "OK-1 and OccuNomix customers will continue to order products as they do today. We expect to combine warehouses by year end, at which time customers will be able to order from one location and receive both brands on one shipment.
OK-1 founder and CEO Roger Teigen said that he was "very pleased to find a good home for the business" and expressed his appreciation for the professionalism of the OccuNomix team in conducting the acquisition.

Let me first explain the background of my question.
As is well known, the group $SO(n+1)$ acts transitively on the sphere $S^n$, and the stabilizer is the group $SO(n)$, so that we get a fibration sequence $$ SO(n) \to SO(n+1) \to S^n.$$
Indeed this fibration is a principal-$SO(n)$-bundle and can actually be identified with the frame bundle of the tangent bundle of $S^n$, i.e., the tangent bundle $TS^n$ is the associated bundle to this principal-$SO(n)$-bundle along the tautological representation of $SO(n)$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$.
Now let us consider the special case $n = 4$. Here we get a principal-$SO(3)$-bundle $$ SO(3) \to SO(4) \to S^3.$$ But we can identify the $S^3$ with $Sp(1)$, the symplectic group acting on the quaternions. Via this identification $S^3$ sits canonically in $SO(4)$, i.e. we have an embedding of topological groups $S^3 \cong Sp(1) \to SO(4)$.
The standard theory of principal-bundles hence tells us that the above bundle splits (topologically) which means that there is a homeomorphism $$ SO(4) \cong SO(3)\times S^3 $$ in particular there is a continuous map $SO(4) \to SO(3)$ (which is not a morphism of lie groups).
It is well known that the homotopy type $BSO(n)$ represents the functor of $n$-dimensional oriented vector bundles, and via the clutching function construction the group $SO(n)$ itself represents the functor of $n$-dimensional vector bundles over suspensions of spaces. Hence the above map $SO(4) \to SO(3)$ tells us that there is a natural transformation between the functor of rank $4$ vector bundles over suspensions to the functor of rank $3$ vector bundles over suspensions.
Does anybody know a geometric construction of this transformation which I only understand homotopy theoretically?
Any ideas or references are greatly appreciated.

Nicole Gibbons is an interior designer, tastemaker, blogger and on-air personality best known for her fashion-forward point of view on style for the home. This Fall, Nicole can be seen helping deserving families re-imagine their living spaces as a designer on Home Made Simple airing Saturday mornings on OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network. We love Nicole's distinctive design style. Here, 5 questions with this Woman We Love:
What finally convinced you to make the leap to make a career change?
I always loved design and started my blog, So Haute in January of '08 as a fun creative outlet while working in fashion PR. I soon realized that I was truly passionate about design although I didn't figure out right away exactly what direction I wanted to take my career. So rather than making a drastic career change, my transition was a more of a slow and strategic one. I spent about 6 years immersing myself in the design world, establishing myself as an authoritative voice in the industry via my blog and really just educating myself as much as I could so that when it was time to make the transition I would feel prepared and confident. I also took on small decorating projects to gain hands on experience. After several years of preparation, I decided at the beginning of this year that it was the right time focus full-time on building my business and brand so I finally made the leap and haven't looked back since.
Can a chic sense of style be developed and honed or is it innate?
I definitely think that for some people a sense of style is innate but anyone can learn the basics to achieving a well-designed home. There are lots of great ideas and inspiration on my blog;-)
If you want a design refresh but don't want to make a complete overhaul, what's the one thing that will make the biggest impact?
A new coat of paint is one of the easiest and most inexpensive things you can do to totally transform the look of your space. An arrangement of fresh flowers can do wonders and brings both color and life into a room.
How are fashion and interior design related?
I believe that like your wardrobe, your home should reflect the spirit of who you are and I often approach my design process similar to that of a fashion designer creating a couture garment. I'll construct a room layer by layer, often starting with textiles as a source of inspiration, establishing a color palette, determining the right scale and proportion of each element of the room, perfecting the mix of silhouettes and, finally, accessorizing the space to create an end result that is beautifully tailored and perfectly suited for each client.
What's your go-to denim look when you're meeting clients?
My standard uniform almost always involves denim jeans and a silk button down top paired with ballet flats in the warmer months and a pair of chic boots during the colder months.

It's hard to imagine an age when wine might have literally been seen as treasure. Certainly those of us with the privilege of living in first-world countries take the idea of drinking wine for granted as an everyday pleasure. There was a time, however, that wine, especially the good stuff, was more valuable than gold in some places in this world. So valuable, in fact, that it could be used to buy your way out from underneath the control of an empire. With a mouthful of the finest Ruster Ausbruch swirling around your tongue, it's not difficult to accept the... continue reading
When it comes to dessert wines, most people have heard of Sauternes or ice wine (location unspecific). Perhaps some have heard of Tokaji, the sweet wines of Hungary. But few have heard of the sweet wines of Austria's Burgenland region. There are several reasons for this. Dessert wine isn't all that popular, Burgenland doesn't make all that much of it to begin with, and those who actually do know about these wines tend to buy as many as they can afford and guard them like buried treasure. The sweet wines of Burgenland are one of Austria's best kept secrets, and... continue reading
There are an endless number of formative wine experiences to provide enthusiastic wine lovers with memorable introductions to new levels of wine appreciation or knowledge. These moments, which are so easily to forget in a lifetime of serious wine drinking, should definitely be cherished in the same way we might hang onto the infant drawings of our children. Most wine lovers don't remember their first taste of Cabernet or Merlot. These early introductions to different varietals are best forgotten anyway, coming as they often do in bottles that could charitably be called "value priced." There is one type of wine,... continue reading
Winemaking can be a nerve-wracking business. A lot of things can go wrong in the fermentation process, strange things happen in barrel sometimes, and there's always a bit of nervousness when the wine goes into the bottle and suffers a condition known as "bottle shock" where it usually tastes lousy for several weeks to several months until it settles down in its new home. But perhaps the most nerve-wracking aspect of winemaking for most winemakers, one that can never be completely erased no matter how many years of experience they possess, is the day and time of picking. A lot... continue reading
Frequent readers know that I'm not the greatest fan of dessert wines. Most sweet wines just don't have enough acidity to keep me from feeling like I'm drinking syrup, and many are just too sweet for me to take. Even though I had a huge sweet tooth as a kid, these days it's pretty easy for less than stellar dessert wine to push me into the zone where I feel like I ought to be taking insulin pills along with each sip. Dessert wines, however, are certainly one of the wine world's most hedonistic pleasures. When they are good, I... continue reading
OK. I admit it. I really don't like dessert wines. Eiswein? Forget it. Muscat? Ick. Even many Sauternes just are overkill on the sweetness. I really need a wine to have enough acidity to cut through the sweetness before I will pay attention. Too many dessert wines are cloying and sticky, basically as appealing to me as drinking a mouthful of maple syrup. So when a dessert wine has the right balance of sugar, acid, and alcohol, when there is more than one dominant flavor in the wine, I tend to sit up and take notice. I don't know how... continue reading
When Michael Wenzel says his family is in the wine business, he means it. Every bottle that comes out of his small operation in the (perhaps aptly named) town of Rust where his family cellars are is stamped with the phrase: "since 1647." But that doesn't quite begin to tell the history of this family's relationship with wine in a single spot for over 500 years. Some of the things that might are the stone wall that still stands which was erected to keep out the Turks; or the 100+ year old wooden wine press which was just put out... continue reading
Before you read any further, you should know that I'm the idiot. I know next to nothing about German and Austrian wines. Before last week I had tasted probably thirty of them in my life. Maybe fifty. They'd just never been a real source of interest. Sure I'd had a lovely Gewurztraminer here and there, a gorgeous dry Riesling over Thai food, but honestly I never really made a serious study. This, of course, is problematic when you hang out with people who are convinced that German and Austrian wines are the best wines on the planet. And I do... continue reading
It's not everyone that can claim they've been making quality wine pretty much continuously since at least the twelfth century B.C. Most people also can't say with authority that their wines were the favorites of people like Hippocrates. You know, that greek guy who invented, um, well. At least I know they named the Hippocratic Oath after him. In any case, very few places in the world have a winemaking pedigree like the people of the island of Samos. A thumbnail sized, green mountainous island that pokes up out of the eastern Agean sea, the name Samos comes from... continue reading
Today we are exploring off-dry wines as part of the monthly virtual tasting event known as Wine Blogging Wednesday. This month's tasting is hosted by Beau over at Basic Juice. My entry in this category is an Alsatian wine from one of the most famous producers in the region, Domaine Zind Humbrecht. The father and son operation has been in existence since 1959 when the marriage of the Zind and Humbrecht families brought together a passion for winemaking and some of the best land in Alsace under one roof. Leonard Humbrecht and his son Olivier (notable for being France's first... continue reading
This wine may, in fact, be the strangest wine produced in California (especially if you leave out all those people making blueberry wine). Its strangeness has nothing to do with any qualities of the wine itself (if you continue reading you'll see that it's pretty good) but instead comes from the fact that there was someone crazy enough to attempt to make a wine like this in California. You see, Dolce is basically a Sauternes, but made in California. It doesn't sound so strange on the face of it, after all Napa makes Cabernet and so does Bordeaux. Bordeaux makes... continue reading
The Pichot family is one of the oldest in Vouvray and can trace its members (mostly restauranteurs and viticulturists) back as far as 1739. The family estate is located inside the city limits of the town of Vouvray, and both the cellars as well as part of the family home are located in caves hewn from the rocky hillsides. The domaine combines two sets of properties "Coteau de la Biche," owned and managed at one time by the family patriarch Jean-Claude, and "Peu de la Moriette" owned and operated by his son, Christophe, who has recently taken over management of... continue reading
Sparkling red wine? Sacre Bleu! Or in this case I guess you'd say Mizzica! or some other Italian equivalent. Yes, this really is a sparkling red wine and quite an interesting one at that. It's made by a small producer in Piemonte, Azienda Agricola Malvira. I love the name of the winery, which literally translates to "Situated Wrong," because the winery's original courtyard faced North instead of to the South as popular wisdom dictated it should. Even though the winery is in its new location along the banks of the Tanaro river in the small village of Canova, the name... continue reading
I've mentioned before that I'm not a fan of dessert wines. I find the majority of them far too sweet and cloying " small syrup bombs that are the last thing I need after, let alone during, a nicely prepared dessert. However, after the recent discovery of dessert wines made from Jurancon, I'm holding a out a little hope that I may occasionally find one which does what its supposed to " make me enjoy dessert even more. It was with that small hope that I ordered Ferrari-Carano's "Eldorado Noir" Black Muscat the other night after dinner. I had never... continue reading

Chives can be a wonderful addition to any garden!
Chives are another easy to grow herb which will prosper in full or partial sun. These herbs will get anywhere from 8"- 15" tall, though should be harvested before flowering for the freshest results. Part of the lily family, chives produce bulbs underground which will outlast the coldest of winters to bloom year after year.
Chives belong to the allium group including: onions, garlic, leeks, and scallions. In recent studies allium has been said to decrease the risk of certain kinds of cancers (esophageal, stomach, and prostate). This group of herbs is also known for their antioxidants which are found in their leaves. Chives are one of the more deluded allium herbs in the group, which means their benefits aren't quite as strong as an eye-watering onion; but their subtle flavor makes them more versatile in the recipe box.

I don't think my situation is unique (having a family) in saying that the pre-reg only deal is a little baffling to me.. this race is a prime example for me at least of one that I wanted to do, but the variables of kids parties, wife's plans, work schedule can all come together or fall apart to make for a great race weekend or another weekend squeaking in time on the bike while navigating 3 yr old birthday parties and wife's yoga classes.. Yes, this is a first world problem but I wonder if there is a better way ... making both the race organizer happy and secure and the family guy able to give said organizer their money and get to race on a moments notice?

Pre-reg closes 36+/- hours before a race.
The race schedule is out months before events.
I am sure you know when you work well before "the last minute".
Birthday parties are scheduled well in advance of a weekend.
Yoga classes are scheduled months in advance. (sounds like your wife's plans are more important than yours) You can get a yoga class anytime, anywhere practically.

Chase cars

Excellent race, tons of fun, huge thank you to the organizers!
Quick note on safetly: Someone's team car very nearly t-boned our group in the 35+ 3 race. We went to turn right onto the gravel and the car behind continued straight and would have plowed into us had we not heard the screaming spectators and hit our brakes. The car was a (Audi, VW?) wagon with two bikes on the roof and the words "Service Course" in large letters across the rear window. It is one thing for locals to have trouble driving around races, but there is no excuse for a team car doesn't give a race enough room to take the turn safely. Why didn't the corner marshal or police flag the car to stop? We were baffled and upset. Stay safe out there on the bikes and in the cars.

Stephen, thanks for the heads up on the near incident in your race. I'll check into it. We only had two official support cars driving during each wave, along with a State Patrol car and two EMT vehicles. The description of the car doesn't fit any of the vehicles we had out there that I know of but I'll make sure. Also not sure why the course marshals missed it, all the reports I heard about the marshals indicated that they were doing a good job.

Yellow Line
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
First, Rally Sport and Cycling Events - thanks for putting on a great race. Hope to see this one on the calendar for years to come! This next comment has nothing to do with the promoters... In the 45+ 1,2,3's there were many blatant yellow line infractions and yet no one was DQ'd. The Chief Referee even stated at the start the yellow line rule would be enforced. Would hate to lose good road races like this just because some guys feel like they can ride over the line.
Moto Refs Inconsistent
Submitted by Beep Beep (not verified) on
In the P-1/2 race, I heard one guy say that he got beeped at by the moto ref for just looking at the yellow line and we had several instances of "back to the back you go" for guys that were crossing the line and not even advancing in many cases. That being said, I think there is a lot of inconsistency when it comes to the enforcement of this particular rule, something USAC/BRAC should tighten up.
Agree that this race and course rocked! Decent sized fields for April and serious competition. Thanks for a great day Eric, Steve, et al.

DQ all centerline violations
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I say DQ all centerline violations. Centerline rule is all about safety. Why would anyone want to be close to the centerline? On coming traffic will kill you. The gust of air by bigger vehicles can cause a bike to crash much less being smacked by a mirror or a head on.
Any good referee should DQ a rider immediately and send them packing. I would hate to be involved in any "incident" where a rider was injured. Talk about big lawsuit against an official that saw these violations and did not take care of the problem.
Center Line
Submitted by Eric (not verified) on
I completely agree with all of your comments on center line violations. I can never understand why anyone would take the risk of literally dying to move up a few spots in the pack. Not to mention the risk of crashing out other riders.
I was in the 45+1/2/3 race (at least for just over a lap) and myself and most others in the pack saw a blatant center line violation by the rider who would go on to cross the line first at the finish. I notified the moto official at that time, gave the number of the rider and hoped he would be DQ'ed. But he wasn't. That rider then went on to violate the center line rule again within the last km of the race. This second violation shouldn't have happened because he should have been DQ'ed the first time. The fact that he did it again just proves the zero tolerance policy is the only way to go since if somebody does it once and they aren't punished they're highly likely to do it again.
When I saw the results of the 45+1/2/3 race with this rider listed in first place and heard from other riders that he had violated the center line rule again near the finish I immediately protested the result. The problem was that somehow no official saw the violation in the last km. Only the racers did. And this rider tried to get away with it. Fortunately the chief referee took the rider's accounts into consideration and relegated the rider to fifth place. That rider won't be racing in any event I promote in the future.
The moto officials do seem to be inconsistent with enforcement and that needs to change if we're going to keep any road races in this area. I'll be sending some comments to BRAC regarding this.
Thanks again for all your positive comments about the race.

The moto ref in the P12 race
Submitted by right side rider (not verified) on
The moto ref in the P12 race whistled anytime he saw anyone "touch" the yellow line and ruined a lot of the race by shutting down numerous attacks (where riders did not attack "over the line"). He shut down the entire break even if only one rider "violated." All this while the moto was WAY OVER IN THE OTHER LANE. How is that about safety?
We as riders are well aware of the risks, and no one is trying to race in the wrong lane. If the pack bulges out due to a slowing or road condition, a rider on the left can be "forced" over the yellow line. Even when the rider didn't advance, and got over as quick as possible, the moto would come up and whistle obnoxiously every friggen time.
Moto ref's need to understand the principles of bike racing and the principle of the yellow line rule. If someone gutters it on the left or attacks over the yellow line: DQ. If it's an accidentally "touch" or the rider is not advancing/attacking, then take a chill pill and let the race continue.

Like If a corner marshal (yes, a volunteer) let a car through into the bike race, you'd say "thanks for volunteering, but next time stop the cars."

This is a particular problem
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
This is a particular problem on a course, such as Weld and especially the upcoming Deer Trail, which are run on narrow country roads and not necessarily difficult enough to be selective in and of their own.
Often in these cases the race IS the battle for position, where you need to burn matches on the harder parts of the course (dirt, hills, wind) getting to and staying at the front in order to have any chance in the final by not getting completely boxed in.
Obviously it is wildly unsporting for a rider or riders to sit in the middle all race, saving energy, to then overcome THE major tactical hurdle of a bunch finish by illegally moving up across the line and essentially punking all the guys who followed the rule.
Hopefully the moto officials, now well aware of the problem, will be on sharp lookout Sunday!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
you can't wait until the race is over to stick the puppy's nose in the centerline 'pee puddle'. For the centerline rule to have any meaning at all, and for a DQ to have maximum impact, the moto ref should pull alongside the pack, call out the guilty party, and DQ them on the spot. Not send them to the back of the field. Take them out of the race completely. The offender should ride back to the finish alone, with no further affect on the race. I guarantee you that after one or two public shamings, with the threat of future public shaming, centerline violations will cease.

Technically speaking, when your wheels are close or on the center line, you have broken the rule, 3B1. You have broken the center line vertical plane with half your bicycle and body.
Everyone has been warned from day one of bike racing. Every flyer has the rule on it.
Just the regular rules of the road and common sense tell you that being left of center is wrong.
3B1. Center Line. If a course is not closed to traffic, all competitors must keep to the right of the center line or enforcement line.

Google Glass is now available to buy in the UK - but despite still being in the testing phase it comes with a £1,000 price tag.
01:00, UK, Tuesday 24 June 2014
Search engine giant Google has launched its wearable gadget Glass in the UK.
The company's Explorer Programme is now allowing any UK resident over the age of 18 to purchase Glass online - but it is still described as being in the prototype phase.
A limited invite-only programme has been running in the US since 2012, followed by occasional one-day sales.
Google is asking Glass users for their feedback on the functionality of the £1,000 device.
The company has not released any sales figures so far, but it is estimated there are as many as 300,000 users of the futuristic-looking glasses in the US.
Glass is a lightweight frame with a display that rests above the right eye allowing users to search the internet with voice control and watch videos, read emails and other activities.
At the UK launch, Marketing Director of Google Glass Ed Sanders said: "One of the reasons we're here in the UK is the country's spirit of innovation. The consumers, developers and inventors in the UK have a very rich heritage of embracing new technology.
"Glass is not a finished product yet and part of the spirit of the explorer programme is so that we can work closely with developers and consumers in the UK at a local level to find out what will take the product forward."
Google will not say how many units are being sold as part of this launch but it is expected to be a similar number to that of the initial US Explorer Programme which is estimated to have sold tens of thousands.
Speaking at the launch, technology journalist Chris Merriman says the company might have trouble getting people in the UK to embrace the product as much as in the US.
"There are problems with Google Glass in the UK. Number one is the great British reserve.
"We're people that don't talk to each other on the tube so I can't imagine people saying out loud 'ok glass take a picture' and not feeling nervous or embarrassed.
"I think we could probably get used to seeing them and using them but as British, it will take an appropriate amount of time."
Google has faced criticism for its device with some states in the US moving to ban motorists from using them whilst on the road. There have also been fears of an invasion of privacy.
Along with the launch of the UK Explorer Programme, new applications are being released, including astronomy app Star Chart and fitness game Zombies Run.
Sky News is already available on Glass through the WatchUp app.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Atlanta is hosting its first soggy Peachtree Road Race in nearly 20 years.
Up to 60,000 runners hit the city streets Thursday in the 10K race, a Fourth of July tradition in Atlanta that's billed as the largest road race in the U.S. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports it's the first time the race has been run in the rain since 1994.
Mosinet Geremew of Ethiopia was the men's winner. He finished the 6.2-mile course in 28:04. The women's division winner was Lineth Chepkurui of Kenya with a time of 32:07.
The race began under yellow-flag conditions warning runners to use caution because of the wet weather.
With the race arriving a few months after the Boston Marathon bombing, organizers had extra police officers and security cameras along the route.

Pop Star visits Brazil
By charliebrown on Dec 01, 2005
I have just returned from a 14 day visit from Brazil where I visited many different cities including: Belem, Sao Paulo, Salvador, Natal, Brasilina and Campinas. I met with Java many developers, Java Users Groups and customers who are using NetBeans.
I have a long standing joke with my good friend Edgar Silva from Brazil about being treated like a "pop star" when I visit Brazil. Now you should understand the title of this blog ;-)
Here is the rest of the story...
Early Wednesday morning (November 24), myself and Tim Boudreau were preparing to leave Sao Paulo for Salvador as part of our NetBeans Tour of Brazil. Both Tim and I planned to meet in the lobby of the hotel at 5:00am to check-out and leave for the airport. I checked out and waited for Tim in the lobby of the TransAmerica hotel in Sao Paulo.
I was surprised to see two young women and one their father's also waiting in the hotel lobby so early in the morning. Within a few minutes I saw two men approaching the hotel lobby, at closer look, one of the them was Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees. Robin had a couple photos taken with the two young women, obviously some kind of a concert promotion thing. Then, Robin visited for a few minutes before getting wisked away into a motorcade. And, as he left the hotel lobby the two young women let out a really loud squeal. I found that kinda funny.
Of course, as Robin left the hotel lobby, Tim Boudreau walked in. Then, I had to convince Tim that he had just missed Robin Gibb. As Tim and I left the hotel, I glanced up at an event center sign next to the TransAmerica hotel which said, "Welcome Robin Gibb".
It wasn't me who was the "pop star" who visited Brazil. ;-)
I may have visited Brazil, but I'm not \*the\* "pop star" who visited Brazil.

From the Birmingham News of February 28, 2005
Chelsea, Alabama
A Shelby County man freed himself after being tied up and then fatally shot an armed, masked intruder inside his Chelsea home during a home invasion early Sunday morning, Shelby County authorities said.
Authorities refused to release the name of the homeowner who killed 25-year-old William Clint O'Shields of Chelsea. O'Shields held the man's wife at gunpoint while gathering items from the house, officials said.
Sheriff Chris Curry said O'Shields, who had a female accomplice sitting outside in a car, broke into the couple's home off Hackberry Way about 2 a.m. The woman was taken into custody after deputies stopped a car leaving the scene, he said at a news conference at the sheriff's north substation on Alabama 119.
The woman's identity was being withheld pending charges being filed. Curry said she likely would be charged today.
Shelby County District Attorney Robby Owens said the woman could be charged with burglary, robbery or murder. He also said a toxicology report probably will show O'Shields had a high level of drugs in his body.
Curry said O'Shields and the woman were involved in a separate home invasion in Westover early Saturday in which a man in his 80s was tied up and several guns were taken from his residence.
The sheriff said a pistol O'Shields used in the Hackberry Way home invasion likely was taken in the earlier home invasion.
Curry said shots were fired by the homeowner. The homeowner was not injured.
Owens said the homeowner would not face any charges.
"If you're in your house, your own home, you're going to have a lot of freedom to protect yourself, especially your wife, your family and property," Owens said.

» Carlson Going All Out, As Always, To The Finish
SEATTLE - The 2013 Dempsey season came to a close with the smallest but most critical meet of the year for many of the athletes in action tonight in which, as the meet's name suggests, it was the Final Qualifier in advance of next weekend's NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Washington's hopefuls had several great efforts and close calls tonight, and while no postseason bids were clinched tonight, it was still a strong end to the indoor home season for many Huskies, and four new top-10 marks were posted tonight, bringing the season total for new top-10 entries to twenty-seven.
The top mile heats carried a lot of drama, as seniors Christine Babcock and Joey Bywater looked to post season-bests and break into the NCAA Indoor fields. Babcock tried to push the field from the front over the final couple laps, but pushed across the line in 4:37.95, just a split second off her career-best. Bywater was hoping to be the one to run the 100th four-minute mile in Dempsey history today, and he pulled away late in the race to win by a couple seconds, but the clock had ticked to 4:01.81, so it was a tough-to-swallow near miss for the Lake Stevens, Wash. native.
Also running well in the miles was Michael Miller Jr., who clocked a PR of 4:04.18 to nab the 10th spot on the UW indoor top-10. Taylor Carlson also placed third in the first heat in a three-second personal best of 4:09.30.
Senior Jordan Carlson made one last push at qualifying in the 400-meters, but despite her usual valiant effort, she was unable to lower her PR in a heat that came down to just herself and one other runner. Carlson won in 54.47 in what will likely be the 400-meter and DMR school record-holder's last race as a Husky.
In the women's 800-meters, sophomore Baylee Mires was also looking to make a late jump into the top-16 nationally. Mires went out hard and came around the final turn with a shot, but she ended up third in 2:07.39, a few tenths off her season-best.
A pair of top-10 marks were posted by the men's sprinters as they continue to build momentum heading outdoors. Freshman Quadelle Satterwhite capped a very impressive first indoor season with a big PR in the 60-meter dash, as he ran 6.80 seconds to tie for the 10th-best mark in school history. And junior Howard Lao PR'd twice today, first running 8.13 seconds in the 60m hurdles prelims, and then dropping that down to 8.08 in the final. That ties him for seventh on the list in the same time that Jeremy Taiwo posted in his record-setting heptathlon earlier this year. Freshman Chris Williams was just off his hurdles season-best in the final, as he ran 7.94. Williams, Taiwo, and Lao gave the Huskies three new top-10 marks in the hurdles this season, and Shayne Moore was close behind with an 8.15 best. Freshman Travis Marshall also became the sixth Husky under 7.00 seconds this season in the 60m dash, as he ran 6.98 today.
In the field, redshirt freshman Kristina Owsinski crept closer to the 13-foot mark in the pole vault, as she got over a PR of 12-11 today to move onto the Husky top-10 list at No. 10. On the men's side, freshman Jax Thoirs had his best day in the Dempsey despite fighting through a leg cramp. He cleared 16-10 to take second overall.
A season of growth for Washington's very young group of throwers ended with several positive signs today. Freshman Jack Scheideman competed in the shot put for the sixth time this season, and he improved for the sixth consecutive meet. And today was the biggest jump of all, as he went from a season-best of 51-11 up to 53-11, which came on his first throw.
The women's shot putters had a solid day as a unit as well, with season-bests across the board. Bev Coleman's toss of 43-10 ¾ was a season-best by nearly four feet, while fellow rookie Alyx Toeaina was close behind with a season-best of 43-6. Hannah Sherrill, throwing the shot for the first time all season, also went 41-9 ¾.
Also closing out their indoor seasons with good showings were Sarah Schireman, who went 18-1 ½ in the long jump and 36-11 ½ in her first triple jump try, and A.J. Maricich who went 6-11 in the high jump and will look to get back up over the 7-foot mark outdoors. Kasen Covington was also just shy of the 50-foot mark in the men's triple jump, going 49-6 ½.
The final fields for the NCAA Indoor Championships will be settled by tomorrow evening, with entries announced this coming Monday. The University of Arkansas will then host indoor nationals in just a week's time.

Opioid Epidemic Is Not the Only...
The Epigenetics Field Is Granular and...
Minor alterations in p53 and estrogen receptor-alpha gene expression appear to play a role in triggering molecular changes that lead to breast cancer, according to researchers at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. The results suggest that the two genes are involved at the inception of breast cancer development, rather than just its progression, claim the study's two authors, Priscilla A. Furth, M.D., professor of oncology and medicine, and Edgar Dia-Cruz, Ph.D., Lombardi fellow. The results are published in Cancer Research.
Dr. Furth's team has developed mouse models in which genes can be manipulated to investigate the development and progression of breast cancer. One of the laboratory's aims is to develop a panel of genetic tests that could help predict the likelihood of developing breast cancer.
Alterations in p53 are reported in some 30–40% of women with breast cancer, and about 70% of breast cancer patients have estrogen receptor-positive disease, report Drs. Furth and Dia-Cruz. To investigate the role of p53 and estrogen receptor gene expression on breast cancer preneoplasia, the researchers generated mice in which one copy of p53 was silenced and estrogen-receptor gene expression was increased twofold.
Both mouse models subsequently developed precancerous changes in their breast tissue. Animals harboring only a single p53 gene and with twice the level of estrogen-receptor expression demonstrated even more pronounced evidence of early-stage breast cancer progression. "Normal breast tissue functioning requires a balance of cell growth and cell death, and in this study we found that both deregulated estrogen receptor function and p53 expression, independently and in combination, altering this balance and transforming cells," states Dr. Furth.
The researchers were also surprised to find that what are in effect relatively minor changes in the two genes had such an important impact on otherwise healthy breast tissue. "We increased estrogen-receptor expression but in a way that could be found in normal variation among women, and the mice lost one of their two p53 genes, but loss of that single copy only decreases but does not eliminate expression."
Dr. Furth admits that p53 and the estrogen-receptor gene are unlikely to represent the only two genes involved in triggering breast cancer development. Nevertheless, she suggests that the new findings could help pave the way for new predictive tests for breast cancer. "These are not the only two molecules that are responsible for breast cancer development, but they are important, and they can potentially provide us with an early warning or even with prevention strategies."

Stetson guard Victoria McGowan was named a Mid-Major Honorable Mention All-American by FullCourt.com.
McGowan averaged team-highs of 15.9 points and 7.2 rebounds per game while helping to lead Stetson (24-9) to the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament championship and the school's third NCAA tournament appearance.
The senior also led the Hatters in assists (4.2), steals (2.0) and 3-point shooting (41 percent). She earned first-team all-conference honors for the second straight season.
McGowan recorded Stetson's first double-double in an NCAA tournament game with 14 points and a career-high 14 rebounds in the Hatters' first-round loss to UCLA on March 23. She scored in double figures 29 times during her senior season and 86 times during her three-year Hatters career.
McGowan finished second on the school's career scoring list with 1,532 points. She also ranks among the top five in four other categories: 3-point field goals (second), assists (fourth), steals (fifth) and free-throw percentage (third).
