So as it states I would like to get some info on putting together an annual tri in my area. I have the support of my local FF union and they feel confident our new mayor would support my efforts as well. (She is making a big push to get people active in our area.) So I'm not lacking in manpower, area or enthusiasm but I am lacking in knowledge of pitfalls to look out for, where to get some things etc. So if anyone here has any experience with this kind of stuff, I would greatly appreciate your help, experience and insight. I thank you in advance.
USAT was a big help for our tri club when created a sprint tri. also look around for timing companies near you they handle the timing of the race and probably help you out a little w/ rentals and stuff in your area
get organized and get busy! good luck
goals for 2011:
break 19minutes for 5k
break 2:42 for olympic triathlon probably Anthracite olympic
break 3:16 for marathon ( a long shot but it's fun putting yourself out there)
Thank you much for your time! I may have other questions for you at a later date but for now, this is a good start.

Responsibility for Health and Blaming Victims

If we are responsible for taking care of our health, are we blameworthy when we become sick because we failed to meet that responsibility? Or is it immoral to blame the victim of sickness? A moral perspective that is sensitive to therapeutic concerns will downplay blame, but banishing all blame is neither feasible nor desirable. We need to understand the ambiguities surrounding moral responsibility in four contexts: (1) preventing sickness, (2) assigning financial liabilities for health care costs, (3) giving meaning to human suffering, and (4) interacting with health care professionals. We also need to distinguish different kinds of blame, explore the interplay of justice and compassion in avoiding unjustified blaming of victims, and work toward a unified moral-therapeutic perspective that encourages individuals to accept responsibility while avoiding destructive forms of blaming.

This paper applies the conceptual framework applied in the work of Oum et al. to hedge retailers against price-quantity fluctuations in spot electricity markets, and extends it to power generators, in order to design suitable power options with optimal strike prices from a market maker's perspective. These options are then used to hedge agents against price and quantity fluctuations by maximizing a static expected utility problem. An infinite collection of derivatives ("exotic option") emerges as the solution of both price and quantity hedging. This exotic option is approximated with a portfolio composed by bonds, forward/futures contracts, and a fixed number of put and call options, employing a plausible replicating strategy. The theoretical framework is tested within the context of the Colombian power market, and is applied to month-ahead and quarterly-ahead hedging during on-peak hours. The proposal addresses major problems such as lack of liquidity and anonymity of the current bilateral electricity trading scheme in Colombia.

Alabama Hills and the Sierras by shubatWatch
©2007-2016 shubat
This is an HDR I did while exploring Movie Flat Road in the Alabama Hills. The Sierra Nevada Range is in the far background with Mount Whitney visible near the right end of the photograph. It is the highest peak in the contigious United States at an elevation of 14,505 feet (4421 meters). Lone Pine Peak is the mountain at the center that appears tallest but that is only because it is closer. Its elevation is 12,944 feet.
Super cool!!!! Love it !!
i may go on a trip to Alabama with a friend i'm really excited and its as beautiful as he says it is.
very nice !!
Some awesome mountain shots you've got here!
Beautiful colours.
doing it as an HDR helped saturate the colors without ruining it. thanks.
Great! How did you do this with the Nikon D40? I just got one and it has no bracketing.
i use a tripod and I have to use manual mode...then I just bracket it myself while being careful to not move the camera. It can be tough sometimes but it works well. This shot was hard to do because the wind was so strong it was blowing over my tripod.
Nice one!
My favourite part of this pic is how you've captured the jagged broken rock of the mountain in the foreground, it's a great detail
Amazing piece! Instant fave.
awesome photo!! The view is great!!
georgeous pic and hdr. :+thumbsup:
amazing composition, absolutely breathtaking scenery
Nice angle on a lovely, lonely view. It doesn't shout HDR at you, which makes it the best kind of HDR
i totally agree. an HDR shouldn't look unreal, it should just bring out some of the hidden details and colors. thanks.
Wonderful image
I've been to the top of Mt. Whitney twice and spent some time scrambling in the Alabama Hills, almost got stuck once
I've been to the top of Mt. Whitney twice and spent some time scrambling in the Alabama Hills, almost got stuck once
I want to go to the top someday. When I was 11 or 12 I went with my dad and we made it to the Alpine Basecamp but there was too much ice to go further without crampons. I can imagine the Alabama Hills having some great climbs.
Beautiful shot, amazing place! The way the rocks are broken up is remarkable.
It is definitely an amazing place. If you google "Alabama Hills" you will find that a lot of movies were filmed here like Tremors, How the West Was Won, Gunga Din, The Lone Ranger, and scenes from Gladiator.
Wicked shot. ^_^
Gorgeous shot!
Amazing shot. I love the way you got the ground, mountains, and sky in...just the right amount.
thanks. it is a magical place and it has some great photo ops. Everything meshes together very well there.
Exquisite HDR ^_^
Beautiful shot!!!!
Excellent. Very well done and exceptionally sharp considering the wind you said was present.
Wow.. que hermoso.

Alfalfa variety trial attracts grower interest — photosSep 21, 2012
Alfalfa hay quality is a big issue with as many opinions as to what makes quality as there are varieties. It can be variety specific, but Shannon Mueller, UCCE agronomy farm advisor, believes crop management (irrigation, cutting schedule and fertilization) has more influence on quality than the variety.

This article contains major, MAJOR spoilers for âG.I. Joe: Cobraâ #12, which is on sale this week.
In comics, there are some deaths that cannot help but have a ripple effect throughout that character's universeâSuperman's demise at the hands of Doomsday prompted worldwide mourning and the rise of three new heroes eager to carry on his legacy, while the death of Captain America prompted a similar period of grief in the Marvel universe and uncertainly as to who, if anyone, was fit to carry his shield. But, of course, both Clark Kent and Steve Rogers came back. In IDW Publishing's G.I. Joe universe, the all-too-human Joes and Cobra agents are more firmly bound to laws governing mortalityâthere's no recovering from a headshot at close range, as undercover agent Chuckles knows all to well from having to execute his handler, Jinx, in the first âG.I. Joe: Cobraâ miniseries.
[SPOILERS begin below.]
This week in âG.I. Joe: Cobraâ #12, Chuckles pulled the trigger again, this time taking aim at the head of the nefarious Cobra terrorist network, Cobra Commander himself. The kill shot is unambiguous: Cobra Commander is shot through the head in a close-up two-page spread. In the wake of this event, IDW held a video conference with members of the press to discuss the future of its G.I. Joe line, which will see the publication of âG.I. Joe: Cobra Civil Warâ #0 and "Cobra Tribute" in April followed in May by new #1 issues for âG.I. Joeâ and âCobraâ and the launch of an ongoing âSnake Eyesâ series. Chuck Dixon will write âSnake Eyesâ and continue writing âG.I. Joe,â with current âJoeâ artist Robert Atkins shifting over to illustrate âSnake Eyesâ and Javier Saltares taking over the core series. Mike Costa and Antonio Fuso will remain on the relaunched âCobra,â though co-writer Christos Gage will be departing due to his Marvel exclusive contract. IDW Senior Editor Andy Schmidt led a presentation covering the past and future of the Joe line, as well as the âCobra Civil Warâ that will see several agents vying for the top spot.
âWe're killing Cobra Commanderâthat's where this is all starting!â Schmidt began, laughing. He then spoke about the history of âG.I. Joeâ comics at IDW, which began with a #0 issue in late 2008 and officially launched with the ongoing series âG.I. Joeâ and âG.I. Joe Originsâ and the miniseries (later extended into an ongoing) âG.I. Joe: Cobraâ in the first months of 2009. These books, Schmidt explained, were meant to stand alone but exist in the same universe. âI think we've held pretty darn true to that. No one has been asked to read multiple books if they didn't want to, and I think people who have read all three have gotten a larger universe. The books were meant to appeal to different readers: 'Cobra' went for more of a thriller, film noir sort of thing, and 'G.I. Joe' was more your military adventure thing, and 'Origins' sort of filled in the other gaps depending on who the creative team might be.â
Schmidt then said that the end of the current stable of series is not a reboot but rather the launch of a major new storyline and direction. âThe event in 'Cobra' #12 is very important. The events that have been going on in 'G.I. Joe' are important. And what you're going to see in 'G.I. Joe: Cobra Civil War' #0, which comes out in April, is structured very similarly to the 'G.I. Joe' #0 we put out in October 2008. It will have three stories, ten pages each, that lead into the three new books.
âOne of the major differences this time around is that the three books will be more interconnected. The universe is tightening. An event like Cobra Commander's death has toâhas toâpermeate and have ramifications that are going to last and impact all books,â Schmidt continued. âSo readers jumping on with the #0 issue or the #1 issues are not going to have to go back and read 'Cobra' #12 and #13, it's going to be made very clear what's happened: Cobra Commander has died, and we're dealing with that. The basic premise of 'Cobra Civil War,' which is the name of the event that kicks off all three of our new ongoing series, is that there is essentially a race, a challenge within Cobra: he who kills the most G.I. Joes becomes the next Cobra Commander. It's pretty simple, it's straightforward, it should be pretty brutal and it should be pretty fun, especially for those readers who are reading all three.
âWe think it's big news, we think what we've got coming up is really great stuff. And it is a fantastic jumping on point for new readers or older readers who have lapsed.â
A selection of covers was then shown. âCobra Civil Warâ #0 will have three covers, one for each introductory story, with the âG.I. Joeâ cover illustrated by Javier Saltares and the âSnake Eyesâ cover painted by Gabrielle dell'Otto. (This cover is not shown here due to a continuity error in the art, which will be corrected before publication.) Schmidt said that the first issue of each new series would also feature three covers. âThat's not just to soak up all your money, although we will, but it is really because we have candidates. There are Cobra candidates vying for Cobra Commander's position. So what you'll see is, there are nine covers all by Zach Howard, and they all have the same motif.â Schmidt showed several of Howard's covers and said they would all include the bullet-pierced helmet and feature text along the lines of âI am the Baroness. I am Cobra Commander.â
âZach Howard, I don't understand how he has not become a huge artist out at Marvel or DC,â Schmidt said. âHe's amazing.â The editor added that Howard will be the regular âCobraâ cover artist. âZach has been working steadily in the industry, he's a known guy in the industry, but he hasn't broken out the way a Jim Lee has yet. But he will. It's only a matter of time.â
Schmidt said that sales were not the deciding factor in replacing the âOriginsâ ongoing with âSnake Eyes.â â'Origins' did very well for us, it just seemed strange to have a series called 'Origins' that is getting into the 20s and still telling origin stories,â he said, adding that giving the popular hero Snake Eyes his own title will give the character an appropriately broad stage while not hijacking the core âJoeâ series. âWe've kept him out of the spotlight for these first two years.â
Returning to this topic later in the conference, Schmidt clarified that Snake Eyes might still appear in other series, but âthat was something that was important to me and Chuck initially was that it wasn't going to be the Snake Eyes show,â adding, âI wouldn't say he's going to be out of the other two books entirely, but it's not going to be 'Snake Eyes all the time.' He's not going to turn into Wolverine, to be blunt.â Schmidt also said that Dixon's enthusiasm for the new ongoing is high, and that the writer turned in a full treatment for âSnake Eyesâ only a day after the possibility of the series head been broached. âHe was very excited about it. He said over the phone to me that he had a 'Robin' feeling, that he hadn't had a feeling like this about a book since he first wrote for 'Robin,'â Schmidt said of Dixon. âAnd as you guys may know, that book lasted for over 100 issues. So that's a good feeling to have.â
Recapping the publishing plan before delving into questions from attendees, Schmidt said that the schedule for coming months includes:
- âG.I. Joe: Real American Hero,â the Larry Hama-written series continuing the Marvel continuity, will remain unaffected and continue as normal.
- In February, the final issues of the current âG.I. Joe,â âCobra,â and âOriginsâ series arrive in stores.
- âG.I. Joe: Infestationâ #1-2 ship in March, tying in with IDW's first crossover event.
- âCobra Civil Warâ #0 arrives in April with 30 pages of story, as well as the 100-page âCobra Tributeâ issue, which reprints âCobraâ #12, a selection of Cobra Commander's âgreatest hits,â and reactions to his death.
- May launches the three new ongoing series, âG.I. Joe,â âCobra,â and âSnake Eyes.â
Briefly discussing the âCobra Tribute,â Schmidt said, âyou'll get the Baroness's take on what does this mean, you'll get Hawk's take on what does it mean that Cobra Commander has passed away, or Scarlett's take. We're going to do some in-character stuff that should be pretty fun.
âI just think it's pretty funny to have a tribute to such an evil jerk.â
Schmidt then answered questions from members of the press in attendance.
The first question related to the decision to kill Cobra Commander. âI believe the original idea to kill Cobra Commander came fromâI don't remember if it came from Mike Costa or Chris Gage, but it came from the 'Cobra' writing team,â Schmidt said. âThey turned in a draft and said, 'just read it! It'll be fun! And then you'll tell us âno.â' We talked about it, we looked at what would it mean to kill Cobra Commander, what would we get out of itâstorywise, characterwiseâand then we started a conversation with Hasbro. It just sort of evolved from there.
âI personally am not going to approve 'hey, we're going to kill Cobra Commander' without having a really good plan in place, or at least I believe in and believe to be very good in place. Because then I would not be doing my job properly if I did that. We wound up with an enormous document and I kept going back to peopleâwhat about this? What about that?âuntil it really did seem to make sense. Then talking with the good folks at Hasbro, they liked what we sent in as a proposal, they liked what we're going to get out of it. That's how it happened,â Schmidt continued. He also said that the plan had been in place for more than a year. âObviously, my first phone call was to Chuck [Dixon]â'hey, they want to kill your Cobra Commander! What do you think?' We had to get everybody on the same page. It all worked out.â
No decision as to whether the death will affect the âG.I Joeâ brand outside of comics, it was revealed.
Addressing the topic of killing merely for shock valueâespecially since it sounds as though many Joes will meet their end in âCobra Civil WarââSchmidt admitted that it's âa fair questionâ and one that his team is careful to handle correctly. âI'm not going to lie: some of it will be shock value. But that happens. We have to remember, we dance that fine lineâit's a story about soldiers, it's a story about military. It's also a story about characters that we all really love,â he said. âI'll go ahead and say this, because I struggled with it too when we really got into what are we going to do, how are we going to kill off all these characters. There are different ways to take out Joes; it's not going to be a wholesale slaughter of G.I. Joe characters.â
Schmidt gave assurances that this would not simply be a cleaning-house exercise. âThere certainly is no behind the scenes of, oh, I want to kill that guy because I hated him when I was a toy, or I think this character is stupid. Right off the bat, I said there's none of that. One of the more interesting parts of having this job that I have, that I'm grateful that I have, is that it's fun to take a character that I think is kind of silly and find a way to make them interesting or cool or creepy or whatever,â he said. âOne of my favorite bits in all the 'GI.. Joe' stuff we've done is Croc Master, how creepy he turned out to be, because he's kind of a silly guy. It's not going to be a wholesale slaughter of GI Joe characters, because that doesn't do anybody any good. It doesn't do IDW any good, it doesn't do fans any good, it doesn't do Hasbro any good if we just started killing off characters randomly. And it's just more interesting to mess with the Joes rather than just killing them.â
But, as to how many Joes would fall, Schmidt said, âI haven't counted them, because I ran out of fingers and toes.â
The word âslaughterâ prompted some chat-window banter among attendees, joking that this was âan oblique Sergeant Slaughter reference,â alluding to the real-life wrestler who appeared in the âG.I. Joeâ cartoon and toy line in the 1980s. I joined in with the line, âSgt Slaughter is the next Cobra Commander.â Schmidt, for his part, added that âRefrigerator Perry would be good too,â referring to the former linesman for the Chicago Bears who was also a âG.I. Joeâ action figure.
Several questions related to Cobra Commander himself and the role he played in the organization. Asked how readersâor even charactersâcould be sure the real Cobra Commander was dead, Schmidt promised this was the real deal. âThere's only one Cobra Commander. When we relaunched 'G.I. Joe,' we changed Cobra [as an organization] much more than we changed G.I. Joe. GI Joe is still essentially the best of the best from the American forces. We did change a few things, like your civilian life goes away. The way Cobra is structured now is that there's always a Cobra Commander, and there's only one Commander. This is the real Cobra Commander, but they have to elect a new one every once in a while. They've never had one shot through the brain before. This isn't entirely unprecedented in that they've had previous Cobra Commanders in the organization, but it is unprecedented in that this is the first Cobra Commander that's been shot down in the line of duty.â
Toward the end of the call, there was a question about the timing of this issue and the execution scene, given the recent tragedy in Arizona. âTiming of it is not good,â Schmidt said, but âthere's no way around it. We sent that book to the printer some time back.â
In response to a question regarding the quest at the heart of âCobra Civil War,â Schmidt said that the race to eliminate the most Joes would certainly see the would-be Cobra Commanders turning on each other. âIt wouldn't be Cobra without backstabbingâthat's the best part! That's really what makes it a story. If it really is just eight or nine Cobra guys going out to kill Joes, they're keeping score, and they are trying to trip each other up,â Schmidt said. âWhat are these guys going to do, to each other as well as to the Joes, is really at the heart of this. It's not going to be a fair fight, I can guarantee that.â
As to the playing field, Schmidt said, âtechnically there are seven candidates, although there are nine real Cobra players. They're the nine guys on the different covers. When you have that many people involved, it takes some time to get into what are they all doing.â
An cabal called the Cobra Council will determine who has earned the right to Cobra Commander's shiny helmet, the editor explained. âThere is a governing body that will basically decide who wins. As for the rules, it's kind of like Thunderdome: two men enter, one man leaves. Everything else is fair game. These are not polite people, these are not people who like rules, as a general rule. So if there are rules, you can bet they're going to get broken anyway.â
Though not one of the candidates, Schmidt said that Serpentor is âa major player.â âSerpentor's pretty awesome in this,â he added. âHe basically runs the sort of religious aspect of Cobra. He runs a religion, the Coil, and he has a very different kind of influence on the world than the rest of Cobra, than these sort of military or military sorts of people do. His vote, so to speak, carries a ton of weight. If he is backing someone, then their stock will clearly go up in the eyes of the Cobra Court. So he's sort of a kingmaker. There are going to be people vying to get him on board with them, or just making sure that he's not backing somebody else. Serpentor is a smart guy and probably has his own agenda.â
A follow-up question later in the conference asked for more details on what it meant for the history of Cobra that âCobra Commanderâ is a title rather than one particular individual. âWe have talked a lot about the Cobra organization, how it evolved in the IDW universe. On the flipside, I've had many conversations with the guys and women at Hasbro about it, too. We have it mapped out in a nice way. It's something that, from an editorial standpoint, I don't know that I ever really want to establish firmly because I like the mystery of Cobra. I think it's very important that we, as the people shepherding it, know what the story is, but I don't know that it's always the best idea to lay it out in detail, 'this is it, here are all the facts, straight as can be,'â Schmidt explained. âI like the mythical aspectâhow old is Cobra? One of my favorite issues of the 'Cobra' series was the issue with Serpentor that told the story through paintings, every other page was a painted page, and you had sort of the mythological beginnings to the Cobra organization. I like that. I think it's pretty clear that that's not the universe in which we have it, where there really is this snake god, but I like that that story is there. I like that we did the 'G.I. Joe: Origins' issue with Mainframe, in which we got into maybe the Cobra organization's a lot older than we thought.â Regarding the specific timeline and details, Schmidt concluded, âyou can nail them down too specifically where you take away some of the mystery and the power.â
The fight to the top of Cobra âwill take less than a year,â Schmidt said in response to another question. âI know exactly when that happens, but I don't think I should say that yet.â He added, though, that âbig things happen when Cobra Commander dons his new helmet.â
Asked whether any top-tier Joes would die, Schmidt smiled. âYou never know.â But, returning to the idea of shock value, the editor said that he doesn't believe anything in the âG.I. Joeâ series to date has been done solely for the sensationalism. âHopefully there have been some shocks along the way. I think one of the biggest shocks was early on, when Chuckles was in a situation in which he killed his partner Jinx. Certainly that was shocking to a lot of people, but I think given how Chuckles has evolved because of that and from that, I don't think anyone could make a case that it was just for shock value, because it really impacted that character,â Schmidt said. âWe really carried through on that event happening and we really got a lot, from a character standpoint and story standpoint, out of doing that. And that's going to be the case here. Shocks are good for getting a few headlines and maybe getting some attention on the books, but if people come to the books and there's not a good story with characters that are interesting and intriguing and that they care about, then we have failed as storytellers.â
Schmidt mentioned a few story points, as well, including that the Joes' headquarters would be invaded and that Snake Eyes would be venturing into the mountains. He also said that, while all three ongoing series will be dealing with âCobra Civil War,â they will still retain their unique styles and can be read individually. âYou can read just 'G.I. Joe,' just 'Snake Eyes,' just 'Cobra,' and follow your favorite book,â Schmidt said. âIf you're reading the two books, something might happen to a character in 'G.I. Joe' and that character will show up in 'Cobra' different, but if you're reading 'Cobra' and you don't know about that, the character just kind of shows up and they are the way they are. We're being very careful that you can read the book separately.
âThere is a lot more overlap for the people who like that, it is there, and it is going to be deeper. But again, we're not going to force it on you. In all honesty, we are still in a recession, and asking somebody who can only buy one GI Joe book a month to buy three or go away is probably not a smart thing to do,â he continued. âWe're very mindful of [the fact that] it's three books and that's a big commitment for your average comic book reader, and some people don't want three 'G.I. Joe' comicsâthey're perfectly happy with one, and that should be fine.â
With only a month to go before the current titles end, one participant asked whether current plot threads would be tied up before âCobra Civil War.â âI think almost every plot thread is tied up. There are a couple that are intentionally left open because they provide a lot of story potential or back story potential,â Schmidt said. âThere's been some talk on message boards about what exactly happened in Rangoon, something that we've talked about in relation to Snake Eyes. That is not revealed in the current series. While we know what happened in Rangoon, there's a lot more to mine there, and that's going to be sort of an ongoing thing for Snake Eyes.â He added that, when current threads are revisited down the road, they will emerge organically in a way that makes sense for both newer and longtime readers.
âThere's one storyline we wrap up in a way I think is really going to surprise people, that I find just creepy.â
âG.I. Joe: Cobraâ #12, featuring the death of Cobra Commander, is in stores now.

TARVISIO, Italy -- Lindsey Vonn clinched her third discipline title in three days with a super-G victory Sunday to wrap up a memorable weekend of racing.
Vonn took the super-combined and downhill titles the past two days and has moved within 96 points of German rival and good friend Maria Riesch in the overall standings with six races remaining this season.
"It was a great weekend for me," Vonn said. "I was most happy about the super-combined title -- it's been a really tough season for me in slalom and to finally put a slalom run down that was right in there with all the other girls made me really happy.
"But I wanted to try to end the weekend with a win and I'm really happy that I was able to do that," added Vonn, who placed second Friday and Saturday.
Vonn holds an insurmountable 171-point lead over Riesch in the super-G standings with only one race remaining in the discipline this season.
Vonn clocked 1 minute, 21.75 seconds down the sun-drenched Prampero course. Fellow American Julia Mancuso was second, 0.23 behind, and Riesch was third, 0.50 back.
In a banner day for the Americans, World Cup rookie Laurenne Ross was fourth, 0.70 behind, for her career-best result.
The last time U.S. women took three of the first four spots was on Jan. 14, 2007, in a super-combined race in Zauchensee, Austria, with Mancuso first, Vonn second and Resi Stiegler fourth.
"It's incredible. The team has such good energy right now and we're all working off each other," Vonn said. "All the girls -- Laurenne and Leanne [Smith, who finished 11th] -- are always wanting to learn and are always pushing themselves, and you can see every race they're getting better and better. It shows how much depth we have and how well we're working as a team, so I'm really happy for everyone."
Vonn, Mancuso and Ross stood 1-2-3 until Riesch came down and ended the chances of the U.S. team's first podium sweep. Still, Ross earned a spot at World Cup finals, where only the top 25 ranked skiers in each discipline qualify.
Vonn couldn't celebrate when she came down because Riesch and other top-ranked skiers were still to start. When the results became clear, however, her joy was evident.
Vonn skipped the second half of last month's world championships to recover from a mild concussion that left her temporarily "skiing in a fog."
"It was just a matter of being able to focus and concentrate that was slowing me down," she said. "That time off was what has enabled me to ski the way I am now. I'm really thankful that we had the foresight to do that, and that I had support from my doctors, my coaches and my husband. That's what really has gotten me through this ordeal."
It was the eighth win for Vonn this season and the 41st of her World Cup career, moving her within one win of fourth on the all-time list tied with Sweden's Anja Paerson, who finished fifth Sunday to follow up her downhill victory a day earlier.
Austria's Annemarie Moser-Proell is tops on the women's career list with 62 wins, Switzerland's Vreni Schneider has 55 and Austria's Renate Goetschl 46.
The women's circuit now travels to Spindleruv Mlyn, Czech Republic, for giant slalom and slalom races next weekend, the last stop before the World Cup finals in Lenzerheide, Switzerland March 16-20.
"I can't lose anymore points to [Riesch] the rest of the season if I want to win the [overall] title, and that's going to be really tough to do, but it's still possible," Vonn said.
"It's a lot different when you're in the lead for the title by only 96 points and trailing by 96 points. I've been in that position before and it's not an easy one. It's a lot of pressure and a lot of stress, so you never know what's going to happen and I just have to keep trying to ski the best that I can and really risk."

MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Max Ramirez crushed a two-run HR onto the roof of a house on the north side of 8th Street, and Xavier Batista slammed a three-run HR onto the street, leading Boise/Mesa (EXST CUBS) to a 6-5 victory over the Iowa Cubs in a six-inning intra-organization game played at Fitch Park #3 this morning, in what was the official end of Minor League Camp and the beginning of Extended Spring Training for the players remaining in Mesa.
Meanwhile, the Iowa Cubs will be heading to Round Rock, TX, for PCL Opening Day on Thursday.
Iowa provided all four of the pitchers who threw in this morning's game, and Max Ramirez was "loaned" to the Boise/Mesa squad, partly so that an Iowa catcher would catch the Iowa pitchers throwing for Boise/Mesa, and also because the I-Cubs had too many position players and not enough at bats to go around.
In Iowa Cubs roster news, RHP Jay Jackson (shoulder fatigue?) will be remaining at Fitch Park, joining fellow I-Cubs DF Brad Snyder (oblique), INF Augie Ojeda (back), RHP Todd Wellemeyer (hip), and RHP Angel Guzman (2010 shoulder surgery rehab) on the 7-day day DL. While the other four are limited as to what they can do, Angel Guzman is progressing very well, and is on a rehab pitching schedule where he throws sim games at Fitch Park every 5th day. Over the weekend Gooz threw especially well, getting his fastball velocity up to 92 MPH for the first time since his surgery (he threw consistently 94-96 in 2009).
LHP Ryan Buchter, RHP Hung-Wen Chen, RHP Blake Parker, LHP Polin Trinidad, and OF Brandon Watson were not in uniform with the Iowa Cubs today at Fitch Park, and so it is possible that one or all of them may have been moved down to AA Tennessee (and a couple may have been released), while RHP Chris Carpenter (who was pitching with the Tennessee squad last week) has been moved back up to the Iowa squad (and in fact he threw an inning today).
Also, Daytona RHP Ty'Relle Harris (acquired from Atlanta in last year's Derrek Lee trade) was left behind when the D-Cubs left for Florida, and will probably start the 2011 season on the 7-day DL. Although he is not exactly injured, Harris is beginning an arm strengthening program at Fitch Park to improve his stamina and velocity, which the Cubs player development & training staffs apparently felt was not where it needed to be.
Here is today's box score (and I have no idea why light-hitting INF Marco Hernandez hit clean-up for Boise/Mesa... perhaps he is this month's car-pool contest winner):
FIELD #3: Boise/Mesa (EXST Cubs) vs Iowa Cubs
1. Oliver Zapata, CF: 0-4 (1-3, 6-3, L-6, K)

WEATHER: Warm & breezy with temperatures in the 80's
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
I looked for a map of Fitch Park, just wanted to see how close the street was to get an idea of Max Ramirez' hr. I found a site with a Google Map.
AZ Phil, what are the field numbers for the fields on this map?
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Thanks Phil!
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
You're a lot taller than I imagined Phil.

Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Has anyone ever used gold preferred parking at Miller Park.
I would guess it should be right up front?
Looking forward to first visit since old county stadium.
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
"Gold preferred"... hmm... by the sounds of it you pull up and are lofted out of your car and carried into the park by Mark Kotsay's wife. Just a guess. Have a blast, it's not home, but it's a real nice ball park. Get the fried cheese curds. They will shorten your life by about a month, but sooo worth it.
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
I haven't tried the fried cheese curds, or Mark Kotsay's wife's parking, but it is a fun park. Parking is simple there anyway. And you can get bottles of beer, but last time I was there they won't let you keep the bottle cap because you might throw it at someone (but nobody would throw a plastic bottle?) LOL. Fun park, nice fans.
I always enjoy trips to Milwaukee, it's such a nice clean city. Summerfest rocks!
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Nice to see Golden went 2-3.
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
The Iowa Cubs roster has been set and really the only confusion part is that Welington Castillo is not listed -- Is he hurt??
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
maybe he got sent to AA so him and Ramirez would both get playing time.
-edit- nope
Clevenger and Mercedes are the catchers
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
The last few games of spring training, on a Cubs broadcast Len Kasper said Welington Castillo had a thumb injury and couldn't throw so he wouldn't be able to play for a few days.
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Which will last longer Byrd batting third or Theriot leading off?
Buccos beat cards
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Haha, jacos!
I was just gonna post that. The Pirate juggernaut continues.
McCutcheon goes yard. Man, I like that dreadlocked kid!
I wonder what loaded contender will end up w/him?
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
AZ Phil----how did Coello look? Saw him last year in minors and think he's got what it takes to help out in the pen.
Iowa Cubs
This roster was posted at the Iowa Cubs site today:
Iowa Cubs:
Casey Coleman, Thomas Diamond, J.R. Mathes, Austin Bibens-Dirkx, and Roberto Coello will start.
Bullpen Justin Berg, Esmailin Caridad, Chris Carpenter, Jake Muyco, Jeff Stevens, John Gaub and Scott Maine.
Catchers: Max Ramirez and Chris Robinson
Infield Matt Camp, Bryan LaHair, Bobby Scales, Marquez Smith, Scott Moore
Outfield: Montanez, Tony Campana, Fernando Perez, and Ty Wright
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
Yes, Jonathon Mota is on the Iowa roster, missed it.
Tennessee Smokies Roster
OF: Matt Spencer, Brett Jackson, Jim Adduci.
IF: Blake Lalli, Nate Samson, Ryan Flaherty, Marwin Gonzalez, Josh Vitters, DJ LeMahieu, and Rebel Ridling.
Catchers: Steve Clevenger and Mario Mercedes
Pitchers: Trey McNutt, Ryan Buchter, Alberto Cabrera, David Cales, Marco Carrillo, Hung-Wen Chen, Rafael Dolis, Blake Parker, Chris Rusin, Kyle Smit, Luke Sommer, and Brooks Raley.
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
I'm excited about all this pitching. Do you think the Cubs have the right arms to fill out their rotation in the next couple years with players already in the system instead of exploring free agency/trade again?
I guess next year all five starters would be back with the Cubs barring trades/etc. Who would McNutt bump if he had another incredible season?
AZ Phil
Just thought this was interesting. The Boise Hawks website links to this post as a "possible 2011 Hawks" story. I think that says a lot about our own AZ Phil that lower parts of the Cubs organization are deferring to him. I know it is said often on this site, but I still don't think it is said enough - THANK YOU, PHIL! You are a treasure!
Re: MaxRam Celebrates End of Minor League Camp
it's at the bottom under Hawks headlines
in their little revolving top story box I see links to a Bleed Cubbie Blue article and Chicago Cubs Online article though, so seems they're just aggregating stuff from around the web.
But all the stuff about Phil is still true!!!

Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.
I love this team.
Looks like Mother Nature is trying to call this fight.
Hey! I remember this team!
The key for Heyward's offense: get early leads. Heard a stat on Mike & Mike on the way to work that his avg/power much better this year when the Cubs have the lead. And true to form he gets the two run dinger with Cubs winning 3-0 ...
I'm sorry - I was probably not looking at the correct line, or spot, or...who knows!
I could blame it on the weed, but I stopped smoking many years ago.
Fortunately, I can rely on the rest of you sober and astute folks to bring the correct info forth.
Oh yeah! It just felt like one for some reason.
Agreed. I was not including Fowler or Heyward.
I'm just not a fan of 2016 Coghlan.....
@Dusty Contreras if it's a Lester or Arrieta start. TLS is good PH too. You also forgot about Heyward, assume Fowler is CF.
I expect Soler to get optioned as well when activated and Cahill to replace Grimm. It wouldn't surprise me if Coghlan and/or Soler is included in a trade.
Maybe Coghlan is up to see if he can get on track before someone acquires him.
This move could also be to assure that we have as much OF depth as possible to maximize Joe's ability to rest players in September once we've clinched.

Seemingly clueless as to the real nature of The Onion's
tongue-in-cheek award for Kim, the People's Daily splashed
full-page photographs of the portly young leader riding
horses, clapping his hands, waving and clasping children's
cheeks on his tours around North Korea.
"With his devastatingly handsome, round face, his boyish
charm, and his strong, sturdy frame, this Pyongyang-bred
heartthrob is every woman's dream come true," the English
online edition of the People's Daily quoted The Onion as
"Blessed with an air of power that masks an unmistakable
cute, cuddly side, Kim made this newspaper's editorial board
swoon with his impeccable fashion sense, chic short
hairstyle, and, of course, that famous smile."
The People's Daily is the mouthpiece of China's ruling
Communist Party and because it is widely believed to broadly
reflect thinking within the Chinese government, it is among
the better regarded newspapers in the country.
"He has that rare ability to somehow be completely adorable
and completely macho at the same time," the People's Daily
quoted Marissa Blake-Zweiber, an Onion editor, as saying.
A time stamp on the Onion website suggests it had published
its satire piece on Kim earlier this month.
The Onion said previous winners of its "Sexiest Man Alive"
award include Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who is
fighting an uprising against his rule, and financial swindler
Bernie Madoff, who is serving a 150-year prison sentence.
China is Pyongyang's only major ally, with Beijing concerned
a political or economic collapse in North Korea could send a
wave of refugees to its poor northeast.

I'm creating a theme from the scratch and I need to display the 3 last excerpts of my posts in my sidebar and this only for the pages of my site.
What is the code I have to add in my sidebar file ? Is there a way to detect that the page displayed is a "page" and not a "post".
Thank you a lot

Austin Toros Schedule Set for 2007-08 Season
Austin, TX July 24, 2007 – Spurs Sports and Entertainment announced today that the Austin Toros will open their 2007-08 season in the NBA Development League on Friday, November 23 when they travel to play the Rio Grande Valley Vipers at the Dodge Arena. The Toros will take on the Bakersfield Jam when the season opens at home on Saturday, November 24 at 7:00 p.m. at the Austin Convention Center.
The Toros - Vipers contest is the first of 50 regular season games for the Austin Toros, including 24 home games that will take place at the Austin Convention Center. The Toros will also take part in the 2008 D-League Showcase, Jan. 14-17, 2008 at Qwest Arena in Boise, Idaho.
"This is the start of a new era for the Toros franchise and we are very excited about our new partnership with our affiliate and new owner, the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs will oversee all aspects of our franchise and will be able to share many resources with us, both on the basketball and marketing side of the business. The partnership should also enhance our game experience while growing our fan base to a new level," stated Toros President Mike Berry.
The Toros 24-game home schedule will feature nine Friday and nine Saturday night games, making Toros games accessible for families, businesses and groups throughout Austin and the region.
Also highlighting the 2007-08 D-League Schedule is the 2nd annual D-League All-Star Game, which will be played as part of the NBA Jam Session presented by Adidas at the 2008 NBA All-Star in New Orleans.
Fans can purchase Toros season tickets and flex books (10 –game packages) now by calling (512) 236-8333 or visiting www.austintoros.com. Toros season ticket packages start at just $7 per game.
With the expansion to 14 teams, the D-League is realigning into three divisions for the 2007-08 season. The Southwest and West divisions will feature five teams while the Central division will have four. The Austin Toros will play in the Southwest division. The Toros will play divisional foes an average of seven times during the regular season while squaring off with non-division opponents twice.
"The realignment and scheduling structure encourages divisional rivalries," D-League President Dan Reed said. "Plus, with this scheduling system, we had the ability to cut down on travel which we believe, in turn, will provide for a better product on the floor."
The Divisions for the 2007-08 season will break down as follows:
Fort Wayne
Sioux Falls
Rio Grande Valley
Los Angeles
Entering its seventh season, the NBA Development League – the NBA's minor league established to develop talent across all disciplines for the NBA – has relocated its headquarters from Greenville, S.C. to New York City to help foster the D-League's continued growth by giving it direct access to the support and resources of the NBA and WNBA. During the 2006-07 season, 19 NBA teams assigned 24 players to D-League rosters, and 14 NBA teams called-up 16 players ('Gatorade Call-ups') while 31 D-League alumni participated in the NBA Playoffs. Additionally, every referee hired by the NBA since 2002 has worked in the D-League, while coaches, athletic trainers and front office executives are also being developed. The 2007-08 NBA season will also include the first-ever D-League coach to be promoted to the NBA with Sam Vincent taking over head coaching duties for the Charlotte Bobcats.
Designed to help grow the sport of basketball both domestically and internationally, the D-League offers NBA-quality basketball and fun, family entertainment at affordable prices. For additional information on the NBA Development League, visit NBADLEAGUE.com.

Luke Richardson
Head Coach
Luke Richardson enters his fourth season coaching the Binghamton Senators. In Richardsons first two seasons as head coach, he guided the team to back-to-back 44 win seasons; however, each postseason ended with losses in the opening round of the Calder Cup Playoffs to cross-state rival the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Richardson completed his third year as Head Coach with a record of 34-34-7-1.
After retiring from the National Hockey League (and the Ottawa Senators) early in the 2008-09 season, the 20-year NHL veteran was named a part-time member of the Senators coaching staff for the final three months of the season. He remained in that role until assuming his current position with Binghamton.
An Ottawa native, Richardson played in 1,417 NHL contests over his career, which ranks him 26th all-time in that category. After playing two seasons with the Ontario Hockey Leagues Peterborough Petes, he was a first-round selection (seventh overall) by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft. He immediately made the jump to professional hockey, appearing in all but two of the Maple Leafs 80 games during his rookie season of 1987-88.
After four seasons in Toronto, Richardson was traded to the Edmonton Oilers on Sept. 19, 1991. In his first season in Edmonton, Richardson helped the Oilers to the 1992 Campbell Conference final, where the team was swept by the Stanley Cup finalist Chicago Blackhawks. After six seasons with the Oilers, he signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Philadelphia Flyers ahead of the 1997-98 campaign. It was with the Flyers that Richardson enjoyed his greatest team success as Philadelphia qualified for the NHL postseason in four of his five seasons with the club. He came within one game of what would have been his only Stanley Cup final appearance when Philadelphia was defeated in Game 7 of the 1999-2000 Eastern Conference final by the New Jersey Devils.
Following a five-year stint with Philadelphia, Richardson signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Columbus Blue Jackets before the 2002-03 campaign. He spent three seasons with the Blue Jackets, two of which were as the teams captain. He was reacquired by the Maple Leafs late in the 2005-06 season, but signed with the Tampa Bay Lightning at the conclusion of that campaign. Richardsons final NHL stop was with Ottawa, where he played a total of 78 games over parts of two seasons. His final game occurred in a 4-3 Senators setback to the visiting Anaheim Ducks on Oct. 24, 2008. In total, Richardsons 1,417 game playing career saw him record 201 points (35 goals, 166 assists) and 2,055 penalty minutes. He also appeared in 69 NHL post-season contests, during which he recorded eight assists in addition to 130 penalty minutes.
Internationally, Richardson represented Canada at the 1987 World Junior Hockey Championship in what was then Czechoslovakia, and later earned a silver medal at the 1996 World Hockey Championship in Austria.
Richardson and his wife, Stephanie, make their off-season home in Ottawa and are the parents of two daughters, Morgan and Daron. Following Darons sudden passing in November 2010, the Ottawa community reached out compassionately and joined in inspiring conversations aimed at supporting young people who suffer in silence from the pain and stigma associated with mental illness.

The Grass Is Singing (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Set in Southern Rhodesia under white rule, Doris Lessing's first novel is at once a riveting chronicle of human disintegration, a beautifully understated social critique, and a brilliant depiction of the quiet horror of one woman's struggleagainst a ruthless fate.
Mary Turner is a self-confident, independent young woman who becomes the depressed, frustrated wife of an ineffectual, unsuccessful farmer. Little by little the ennui of years on the farm works its slow poison. Mary's despair progresses until the fateful arrival of Moses, an enigmatic, virile black servant. Locked in anguish, Mary and Moses master and slave are trapped in a web of mounting attraction and repulsion, until their psychic tension explodes with devastating consequences.
About the Author
Doris Lessing was born of British parents in Persia, in 1919, and moved with her family to Southern Rhodesia when she was five years old. She went to England in 1949 and has lived there ever since. She is the author of more than thirty books--novels, stories, reportage, poems, and plays. In 2007, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Longer review: I'm an applied business researcher and that means my job is to deliver quality forecasts: to make them, persuade people of them, and live by the results they bring. Silver's new book offers a wealth of insight for many different audiences. It will help you to develop intuition for the kinds of predictions that are possible, that are not so possible, where they may go wrong, and how to avoid some common pitfalls.
The core concept is this: prediction is a vital part of science, of business, of politics, of pretty much everything we do. But we're not very good at it, and fall prey to cognitive biases and other systemic problems such as information overload that make things worse. However, we are simultaneously learning more about how such things occur and that knowledge can be used to make predictions better -- and to improve our models in science, politics, business, medicine, and so many other areas.
The book presents real-world experience and critical reflection on what happens to research in social contexts. Data-driven models with inadequate theory can lead to terrible inferences. For example, on p. 162: "What happens in systems with noisy data and underdeveloped theory - like earthquake prediction and parts of economic and political science - is a two-step process. First, people start to mistake the noise for a signal. Second, this noise pollutes journals, blogs, and news accounts with false alarms, undermining good science and setting back our ability to understand how the system really works.Read more ›
During election season, everyone with a newspaper column or TV show feels entitled to make (transparently partisan) predictions about the consequences of each candidate's election to unemployment/crime/abortion/etc. This kind of pundit chatter, as Silver notes, tends to be insanely inaccurate. But there are also some amazing success stories in the prediction business. I list some chapter-by-chapter takeaways below (though there's obviously a lot depth more to the book than I can fit into a list like this):
1. People have puzzled over prediction and uncertainty for centuries.
2. TV pundits make terrible predictions, no better than random guesses. They are rewarded for being entertaining, and not really penalized for being wrong.
3. Statistics has revolutionized baseball. But computer geeks have not replaced talent scouts altogether. They're working together in more interesting ways now.
4. Weather prediction has gotten lots better over the last fifty years, due to highly sophisticated, large-scale supercomputer modeling.
5. We have almost no ability to predict earthquakes. But we know that some regions are more earthquake prone, and that in a given region an earthquake of magnitude n happens about ten times as often as an earthquake of magnitude (n+1).
6. Economists are terrible at predicting quantities such as next year's GDP. Predictions are only very slightly correlated with reality.Read more ›
Returning to the election prediction issue, consider that each poll of 1000 people has a sampling error of +-5%, easily derived from Poisson statistics. However, when one pools the results from say 25 polls (and removes bias), the sample size is increased by 25-fold, which reduces the sampling error by 5-fold, down to +-1%. Thus, one can make confident predictions over differences FAR smaller than the usual sampling error. When one combines Bayesian pooling with a state-by-state analysis, one can make astonishingly accurate predictions ... Nate predicted ALL 50 states correctly, so his electoral count was exactly on reality as well when fractional electoral counts are eliminated.
Buy the book as it is educational and fun to read.
1. The general prevalence of breast cancer in population. (This is often called the "prior": how likely did you think it was that the woman had cancer before you saw the mammogram)
2. The chance of getting a positive mammogram for a woman with cancer.
3. The chance of getting a positive mammogram for a woman without cancer.
People often tend to ignore items 1 and 3 on the list, leading to very erroneous conclusions. "Bayes rule" is simply a mathematical gadget to combine these three pieces of information and output the prediction (the chance that the particular woman with a positive mammogram has cancer). There is a very detailed explanation of this online (search Google for "yudkowsky on bayes rule"), no worse (if more technical) than the one in the book. If you'd like a less technical description, read chapter 8 of the book (but ignore the rest of it).
Now for the *bad*. While the Baysean idea is valuable, its description would fit in a dozen of pages, and it is certainly insufficient by itself to make good predictions about the real world.Read more ›
