I love the idea of ratatouille.� Romantic darling of restaurants in summertime, especially those with outdoor patios or sidewalk tables.� Easy way to use very ripe, seasonal veggies.
What I don't like� – aside from the fact that so many kids think that Ratatouille is a cartoon rodent – is zucchini.� I hate zucchini.� Except when seeded, cut into strips, treated to standard breading procedure – seasoned flour, egg wash, flavored bread crumbs – and pan-fried.� But normally, I hate the character of zucchini, its texture, seeds, and bland flavor.� I know zucchini is an intrinsic part of the recipe.� But is it necessary?
I've spent a few weeks playing with the basic recipe, looking for a solution, an substitution.� And I did.� Fennel, that bulbous celery look-alike that tastes like mild licorice.� It adds texture, flavor, sweetness.� And lacks seeds.� It fits in perfectly with the other classic ingredients – eggplant, sweet red peppers, tomatoes.
So here's my new and improved version with a few of my own tricks:
1. Don't be scared off at the amount of olive oil.� I have already pared it down from an old recipe and this is the amount that works.
2. I use small, narrow eggplants – fewer seeds.� Seeds are bitter.� I peel, but it's not necessary.
3.� Ratatouille is often seasoned with expensive saffron.� I use about 1/8 teaspoon of the ground saffron which dissolves right into the sauce more easily than threads.� Also less expensive than the threads.� Without access to saffron, I substitute an equal amount of Goya brand Sazon Con Azafran, a seasoning mix containing saffron.� It's packaged in small yellow and orange boxes and found the international section of the supermarket.� Read the package carefully as the company makes many flavor mixes.
4.� I make ratatouille a day ahead and refrigerate overnight.� Then bring it nearly up to room temperature.� More refreshing flavor, and flavors have a chance to blend.
Makes enough for 6 to 8 servings
1/3 cup olive oil
5 medium red onions, thickly sliced
1 large bulb fennel, trimmed and bulb thinly sliced
2 small eggplants, cut into 2-inch chunks
2 yellow and 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
8 medium plum or roma tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1/8 teaspoon saffron or� Sazon seasoning (see above)
5 sprigs fresh tarragon or thyme
salt, pepper, to taste
Warm olive oil in a very large skillet over medium heat.� Add onions.� Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.� Add fennel.� Cook, stirring, for 10 minutes longer.� The onions will darken in color and sweeten as they cook.� Both onions and fennel should be wilted. Add eggplant to the skillet, stirring to coat with the oil.� They will sop it up.� Cook for 10 minutes, stirring. Add peppers.� Cook, another 10 minutes, noticing that peppers releases liquid to begin forming a sauce.� Add tomatoes and thyme.� The tomatoes will also release juices. Cover the skillet.� Turn the heat down a smidge; cook 10 minutes longer until all vegetables are softened.� Remove cover and allow the mixture to cool naturally.�� Take out the thyme sprigs.� Refrigerate 2 to 24 hours for best flavor.� Bring to room temperature before serving.

Doug Kass on Tech Valuations: 'Nuthin But a P/E Thang'
So gangsta, he ain't. But hedge-fund manager Doug Kass, or rather the self-proclaimed "Dougie Fresh," is working on his rap game to reflect his bearish views of the market.
In light of the recent selloff in tech stocks and Apple rumored $3.2 billion deal for Beats Electronics LLC–the headphone maker co-founded by hip-hop producer and artist Dr. Dre–Mr. Kass of Seabreeze Partners Management reiterated his long-standing view that the market is overvalued and is due for a sizable pullback.
But this time, he conveyed his views in a rather unorthodox manner.
He rewrote the lyrics to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's 1992 rap song "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" in what he calls "an attempt to make them relevant to today's stock market (and to the extreme levels of speculation)." Mr. Kass has Tesla Motors Inc. CEO Elon Musk and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings playing the roles of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg in his version of the song.
Tesla and Netflix are two stocks that have been caught up in the momentum selloff in recent months. For the record, Mr. Kass said he's still betting against, or shorting, Tesla, a position he initially disclosed in February.
Without further ado, here are Mr. Kass's (or rather Dougie Fresh's) "Nuthin' but a P/E Thang" lyrics. (MoneyBeat tried to get Mr. Kass to tape himself rapping his song, but to no avail).
[Elon Musk]
One, two, three and to the four
Elon Musk and Reed Hastings are at the door
Ready to make an entrance in order to get our stock prices up
(Cause you know we 'bout to rip the shorts up)
Gimme the microphone first, so my stock won't bust like a bubble
Tesla and Netflix together, now you know you in trouble
Ain't nuthin' but a P/E thang, baaaaabay!
Two loc'ed out G's so we're craaaaazay!
Rising valuations is the ticket that paaaaays me!
Unfadable, so please don't try to short this (Hell yeah)
But, uh, back to the lecture at hand
Perfection is perfected, so I'm 'a let 'em understand
From a young G's perspective
And before me dig out a secondary I have ta' become inventive
You never know when she could be investin' with her man,
And tradin' with her man, and at the same time earnin' with her man
Now you know I ain't wit that, Lieutenant
Ain't no P/E high enough to get burnt while I'm up in it
Now that's realer than real-deal Holyfield
And now all you tradas and investas know how I feel
Well if it's good enough to get broke off a proper chunk
I'll take a small piece of some of that funky stuff
[Elon Musk and Reed Hastings]
It's like this and like that and like this and uh
It's like that and like this and like that and uh
It's like this and like that and like this and uh
Reed, creep to the mic like a phantom
[Reed Hastings]
Well I'm freakin', and I'm creepin', and I'm streamin'
But I damn near got caught, but my subscriber base keeps increasin'
Now it's time for me to make my impression felt
So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt
You never been on an on-demand ride like this befo'
With a producer who can program original stuff and control the maestro
At the same time with the dope rhyme that I kick
You know, and I know, I flow some ol' funky shtick
"House of Cards" adds to my collection, the selection
Symbolizes that "Orange is the New Black,"
If ya' do, ya' have no clue
O' what me and my homey Elon Musk came to do
[Elon Musk & Reed Hastings]
It's like this and like that and like this and uh
It's like that and like this and like that and uh
It's like this, and we ain't got no love for those
So jus' chill, 'til the next episode
[Elon Musk]
Fallin' back on my Tesla with a hellified gangsta' lean
Gettin' funky with a gigafactory like a' old batch o' collard greens
It's the capital E, oh yes, the fresh L-O-N
M-U-S-K, E-L-O-N ya' see
Showin' alota charge when it's time to wreck a mic
Pimpin' tradas and clockin' a grip like my name was Dolomite
Yeah, and it don't quit
I think they in a mood for some "S" series kit
So Reed. (What up Dog?)
We gotta give 'em what dey want (What's that, "S" series?)
We gotta break 'em off somethin' (Hell yeah)
And it's gotta be bumpin' (the road to Wall Street!)
[Reed Hastings]
It's where it takes place so I'm a ask your attention
Streamin' like a boss but I ain't lynchin'
Droppin' the funky sub numbers that's makin' the tradas mumble
When I'm on the mic, it's like the competition, they all crumble
Try to get close, and you'll get smacked
My billionaire homie Elon Musk has my back
Never let me slip, 'cause if I slip, then I'm slippin'
But if I got "Arrested Development," then you know I'm straight trippin'
And I'm a continue to put the DVD delivery down, put the mack down
And if those short-sellers talk smack, I have ta' put the smack down
Yeah, and ya' don't stop
I told you I'm just like a clock when I tick and I tock
But I'm never off, always on, 'til the break dawn
N-E-T-F-L-I-X, and the road they call Wall Street
Puttin' the programming together
Like my investa Icahn, no one can do it better
[Elon Musk and Reed Hastings]
Like this, that and this and uh
It's like that and like this and like that and uh
It's like this, and we ain't got no love for those
So jus' chill, 'til the next episode
Here's the original song, from Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg:

OAKLAND -- The A's and Coco Crisp have agreed to a two-year contract extension through 2016 with a vesting option for the 2017 season.
The center fielder wouldn't have it any other way.
"These guys are my comrades," Crisp said Friday afternoon with a wave of his hand as the 2014 club gathered at the Coliseum on the eve of Saturday's FanFest. "It's a great group of guys. They've always got your back.
"I like the front office. And it's just close enough to my family (in Southern California) that I can see them a lot without having to spend a lot of money on tickets."
Crisp's money concerns should be abated some by the $22.75 million extension covering the years of 2015-16 with an option for an additional season.
Left fielder Yoenis Cespedes, who might be due for an extension of his own in a year's time, spoke for many of his teammates when he celebrated the signing of Crisp.
"This is very important," Cespedes said through an interpreter. "I don't know if I'll get the next extension, but I know it's a great signing. Coco, he's the key to this team."
The 34-year-old Crisp, the A's leadoff hitter for most of the past four seasons, said at the end of last season it was his wish to stay with the A's and work out a contract extension. His current contract carries through this season.
A career .272 hitter with 278 stolen bases, Crisp hit .261 with 22 doubles and a career-best 22 homers with 21 stolen bases last season, becoming the 10th player in A's franchise history with at least 20 homers and 20 steals in the same season.
The Crisp signing is the latest move by the A's front office in what has been a busy off-season. The club added depth in the bullpen with Jim Johnson, Luke Gregerson and Eric O'Flaherty, in the rotation with Scott Kazmir and Drew Pomeranz, in the outfield with Craig Gentry and Sam Fuld and in catcher Chris Gimenez and infielder Nick Punto brought in two skilled veteran backups.
"We lost a couple of key components in (closer) Grant Balfour and (starter) Bartolo Colon, but they've done a great job replacing them," Crisp said. "There are a lot of good pieces that will make this team way better. I'm happy."
Crisp will be 37 in his option year, and the A's have structured the vesting breakdown to make sure that he's healthy before the 2017 season is locked in. The option would vest if he gets to 550 plate appearances in 2016 or if he has 1,000 plate appearances combined over the 2015-16 seasons. It also would vest with 130 games played in 2016 or 260 games played in 2015-16 combined.
In addition, the contract doesn't vest if he finishes the 2016 season on the disabled list.
Crisp has finished just two of the last five years with as many at 130 games played, but he has reached at least 550 plate appearances in each of the last three seasons.
And while there have been concerns that he might be slowing down, the 2013 season saw Crisp average 3.03 total chances per game, the highest figure turned in by any outfielder in the major leagues and the best number for an A's outfielder in more than two decades.
"I think I should have been more strong mentally," he said in talking about his struggles in a mediocre 2013 season.
"We felt we had the pieces to go a long way and it hurt that we didn't," he said. "It's OK to be upset, but now it's time to get going again."
For more on the A's, see John Hickey's Insider at blogs.ibabuzz.com/athletics. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/JHickey3.
Coco Crisp's stats with A's:
Year Avg. R HR RBI SB
2010 .279 51 8 38 32
2011 .264 69 8 54 49
2012 .259 68 11 46 39
2013 .261 93 22 66 21

What is your journey? Where are you on your path; where do you want to go and how are you going to get there? These are questions for deep exploration in the heart of the rainforest jungle on the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica, March 22-29.
Vail's Women's Empowerment Workshop of Vail has teamed with True Life Coaching and Retreats based in Durango to create an exhilarating weeklong adventure retreat called "The Heroine's Journey."
Based in the nurturing eco-lodge setting of Luna Lodge and Spa, this retreat combines the inner journey with plenty of outward adventures, including hiking to waterfalls, horseback riding on the beach, yoga, and hiking in pristine Corcovado National Park. Meals, beach time and a spa treatment add to the rejuvenating experience of The Heroine's Journey. Pre-event life coaching prepares participants to gain the most from their experience.
Group coaching, before and during the retreat, one-on-one consults with facilitators Susie Kincade and Victoria FittsMilgrim, and solo time for integrating, resting and playing make this nature adventure retreat highly unique and dynamic.
The Heroine's Journey model is based on the work of cultural historian, Joseph Campbell and has been developed by FittsMilgrim during her 20 years as a certified life coach and adventure travel guide.

Too bad the homepage is not english. Sounds interesting though, I'll give it a try.
What I really love about this one is ability to switch between QuickTime and FFmpeg based decoding on the fly. Also, thanks - to direct FFmpeg support - it plays MKV files much more smoothly than QuickTime/Perian combo.

Probably the most detailed Full HD picture we've seen from an affordable projector, but it doesn't come easy.
With Full HD, built-in 3D and an excellent out-of-the-box images for movies, this DLP projector is just lacking in its setup.

SCOOBA – East Mississippi Community College's 2012-13 basketball season is set to tip off Thursday evening on the Scooba campus when the Lions and Lady Lions play host to Georgia Highlands College on the Scooba campus. A 5:30 p.m. women's game will be followed by a 7:30 p.m. men's contest at EMCC's Keyes T. Currie Coliseum.
Ranked eighth in the NJCAA Top 25 preseason men's poll, sixth-year EMCC head coach Mark White returns three players from last year's 23-6 Lions squad that claimed the program's third straight NJCAA Region 23 Tournament title en route to making a third consecutive appearance in the NJCAA National Tournament held in Hutchinson, Kan. Returning for the Lions this year are sophomores A.J. Wade (6-3, 165) of Northeast Lauderdale High School, Noxubee County's Earnest Hunter (6-8, 215) and Micah Walker (6-5, 185) of Jonesboro, Ark.
This year's EMCC men's team figures to receive immediate contributions from a trio of transfers. Expected to lead the way is swing man Jarekious Bradley of Memphis, Tenn. A 6-foot-5, 220-pound guard/forward, Bradley averaged 14.9 points and 6.6 rebounds per game a year ago for Midland College in Texas. The former Memphis East High School product also shot 57 percent from the field, including 37 percent from three-point range, and 71 percent from the line last season at Midland. Transferring to EMCC after a season at the NCAA Division I level, former Brandon High School standout Trey Brown (6-8, 210) and North Carolina native Keynan Pittman (6-10, 230) spent last season at Tennessee-Chattanooga and James Madison University, respectively.
Aiming to bounce back from last year's 7-16 season, eighth-year EMCC head coach Sharon Thompson's Lady Lions bring back just two players from a year ago in forward Dajah McCarty, of Quitman, and guard Brianna May, from East Rankin Academy. The lone Lady Lion player to start all 23 games a year ago, McCarty averaged 4.2 points on 47-percent shooting and was the team's second-leading rebounder at 5.0 boards per outing. An 11-game starter in the EMCC backcourt last season, May made a dozen 3-pointers as a freshman and handed out 15 assists.
Looking to lead a newcomer-laden Lady Lions squad will be transfer point guard Narshanda Malone, who sat out last season at Lake Michigan College after prepping at West Side High School in Gary, Ind.
Live streamed video and audio of Thursday's season-opening EMCC basketball games will be available at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/emcc-basketball and can be accessed through EMCC's athletics website - http://athletics.eastms.edu. EMCC media director/athletic video coordinator Derek Cody will handle the play-by-play duties for the Lions and Lady Lions during the course of the 2012-13 basketball season.
Following Thursday's season opener, the EMCC women's team will hit the road to take on San Jacinto College, out of Texas, Saturday afternoon (1 p.m.) in Baton Rouge, La. Both East Mississippi basketball teams then return home to entertain rival Meridian Community College on Thursday, Nov. 8. The men's/women's doubleheader will get started at 5:30 p.m. at EMCC's Currie Coliseum on the Scooba campus.

STOCKTON - A man suspected of burglary also could face animal cruelty charges for running over a dog during an attempted getaway Wednesday morning, according to the Stockton Police Department.
Deshawn Woods, 20, was knocking on doors in the 2800 block of Tecumseh Lane about 8:30 a.m. and caused neighbors to become suspicious, police said. He was then seen leaving a home in the area with a television and loading it into a car. Authorities say Woods attempted to flee from responding officers, and his vehicle struck a dog during the chase before abandoning his getaway car near Eleventh and B streets.
It's unclear if the animal died, police say, because it wasn't seen afterward, and animal control officers weren't called to the scene.
Woods was found in a backyard with the stolen items during a search of the area, police said.

NEW FORESTRY PLAN WOULD CUT VIRGIN STANDS Dixon: The Bureau of Indian Affairs has completed an in-tricatley detailed ten-year forest management plan which aims at bringing most of the reservation forest under intense timber production by 1981. The document...which is some 410 pages long...was presented to the Tribal Council May 23, by its principle author, Forestry Officer, Bob Miller. Miller, and other a-gency foresters, will review the recommendations and options of the plan with the council later this month. The completed plan will set a course for reservation forest management over the next decade and set a pattern for forest use over the next century. The plan proposes intense concentration on the remaining virgin and overstocked portions of the reservation forest. The plan recommends cutting these areas over the next ten years in order to bring them under maximum growth conditions. Miller calculates that at the end of the ten-year period, the sustained yield allow- able cut for the forest would reach 56.4 million board feet. However, the plan targets this annual allowable cut throughout the ten-year period in order to bring the virgin and over-stocked areas under control. Although Miller recommends a maximum production -maximum return plan Forest Plan (See Page 6) HOW TAX EXEMPTION Volume 5 - Number 4 FULL MOON OF THE CAMAS June 15,1975 ? LOGGING UNITS CLOSED TO HUNTING Dixon: Hunting will no longer be allowed in logging units that are under contract. The new policy...approved by the tribal council May 23...is designed to take pressure off of dwindling reservation game herds. The new rule will immediately affect four recently approved logging sales. They are the Hot Springs unit west of Hot Springs...the Welcome Springs unit south of Hot Springs...the Dream Sale, north of Rainbow Lake... and the Fringe unit just west of Hot Springs. All subset quent sales will also carry the same hunting restrictions. The policy calls for a strictly enforced ban on hunting in units under contract from the day the sale is approved by the council until all logging activity has stopped. It is hoped the policy will prevent excessive pressure on game animals in newly opened areas. COUNCIL APPROVES BREAKING REVAIS INTO THREE UNITS Dixon: Preliminary sale preparation on three fragments of the former Revais logging unit was approved by the Tribal Council, May 23. The three smaller units... the 15 million board feet Fin-ley, the 7.3 million board feet Cold Creek and the 3.3 million board feet Black Rock...will be prepared for sale in fiscal year 1977. The three new units are splinters of the 40 million board feet Revais unit. In February, the council refused to approve the sale of the sprawling unit south of Dixon because it would have placed the entire south boundary of the reservation under simultaneous logging pressure. Large-scale logging in the Revais, as well as the on-going Granjo to the west and the Valley unit to the east, would have further stressed the already depleted game population in the southern reservation area. The new action, splitting up the Revais unit, came under fire from councilmen Fred Whit worth, Arlee, and Tom "Bearhead" Swaney, St. Ignatius. Whitworth noted at the May 23 meeting, that in March the council has suspended both the Revais and the northern Reservation Irvine unit from the logging schedule. He said that action to go ahead with sales preparation on the three splintered units was a contradiction of the March action. He also pointed out that breaking the Revais into three smaller units would not relieve the game situation because it would still place about 25 million board feet of Revais timber under contract at the same time both the Granjo and the Valley units are being logged. Swaney agreed with Whitworth and added that the bureau had still not filled several Ravais (See Page 3) WORKS Thompson Falls: Although Flathead Reservation resident tribal members no longer have to pay personal property taxes on automobiles, both Sanders and Lake county are still collecting new car taxes and gross vehicle weight taxes from otherwise exempt Indians. A policy statement drafted recently by Sanders County Attorney Robert Fletcher spells out the procedure a tribal member must observe to be eligible for property tax exemption. The letter also notes the reasons why certain taxes are still being assessed against tribal members. Fletcher outlines three requirements that enrolled tribal members who live on the reservation must satisfy in order to qualify for personal property tax exemption. They are: ...A letter from Tribal Secretary Fred Houle, certifying that the applicant is enrolled and a resident of the reservation. ...Title to the vehicle showing that the applicant is the actual owner. In the case of farm equipment or cattle, brand certification or titles are required. If the property is not owned entirely by the tribal member then "it should be fully taxed". ...Applicants must also prove they are actual residents of Property (See Page 2)

Best candle ever smells sooooooo good ... it's my favorite scent . It's just perfect not too strong or to soft in smell . I hope they keep making this scent for life I can't live with out it
Just Breath
Amazing candle. The fragrance fills the entire house.
I never usually buy scented candles without smelling them first. The description of this one sounded intriguing, with a collection of scents I love, so I took a chance. BEST IDEA EVER. It is such a warm, welcoming, non overpowering scent. Just makes the room seem cozy and loved.
Soft fragrance
This candle has a soft fragrance. It does NOT overwhelm the room like many cheap candles. The scent builds to a subtle level and then maintains it. I bought the lotion too.

the following is a guest post from my friend Christian Burrell in Utah
So after getting hooked on mtn bike racing last year, I waited and trained all winter long waiting for this race. Finally the day arrived! I rode down with a new friend Rick and met up with Dennis & Elisa Jones at the venue. Our little group of riding friends is kinda funny since we all ride for different teams (for now?). I woke up nervous but ready to just get it started already. All through breakfast I did whatever I could to get my mind off the event. But eventually I had to get focused. Once at the site, I set up my bike and checked all my bicycle parts and repair stuff.
Despite a forecast of perfect temps, the morning was a little crisp. I found a good little loop and started to warm up. Last year, I was SO out of shape that warming up actually did more harm than good. I never recovered so I just stopped doing it. But this year I was in MUCH better shape. I had trained very hard (lost over 30 lbs in fact!) but still didn't have any clue how much I had improved. But I knew that warming was important so I decided to try. But since I didn't know any better, I just rode in circles up and down the little hill loop near base camp. Then I heard the call to line up!
At the starting line we had to wait behind another group and the butterflies started to flutter. I tried a little small talk with the other guys, but decided to try and visualize what I was about to do. How fast would the group be off the line? Would I kill myself too much trying to keep up to the leaders early or should I just head out at a moderate pace (conserving myself for the entire lap) and hope to not get too far behind? So many thoughts! I tried instead to just focus on breathing and shut everything else out and just see myself and the trail. Everything hitting perfectly. Beautiful…
At the starting "gun" the opening sprint wasn't that bad at all. I was right out front with the leaders. It felt good how controlled my breathing felt and how strong my legs were.
About the first 1/2 mile mark is a little steep hill that weaker riders have to shift for but I powered through it fast putting a little distance between me and the main group. But at this same time two other riders made a big push and shot forward to take a lead and sprint away. I had to make a snap decision. Was I going to chase or let them go and hope to close the distance later? I felt really good so I decided to go for it. The risk was that I might use up my energy too fast and bonk before finishing. I had never really been able to actually RACE before. All last season I had just tried to survive. I had never actually worried about race strategy before. This was new; and I had no clue how my body would respond to pushing it so hard.
I stood up, shifted, and started spinning hard (when you are clipped in, you can pull up on the pedals as well as push). I wanted to catch up before we reached the first wash (a narrow, technical gully with plenty of tall rock steps) where passing would be tricky. We had about a mile of rolling hills to go, but I was able to pass the first rider ahead of me fairly fast. The leader was still ahead. My thought was to get close to him and stay on his tire as much as possible and wait for him to tire out. We made the sharp, blind (re: dangerous) turn into the wash and POOF! He was GONE! I was stunned how fast he was riding through this section. He had just disappeared!
I focused hard to make sure I didn't blow any of the moves in the wash so I didn't lose speed. I was now in second (a strong position) with the third place rider maybe 20 yards behind me. One mistake and he would be on my tire. I knew that there was a long, steep climb coming up and I knew I could climb pretty fast if I could just hold my position. After the wash I kept my same gear and decided to stand up and climb as hard as I could to catch up. I actually caught back up to the leader before the next mile had gone by. I was climbing fast and the last part was the hardest. I thought I might be able to pass him there. I pulled him in to about 10 yards and thought I could hang on. But at the top of the hill he just zoomed away again. The next stretch was a long down hill. Long enough to recover pretty well before the next techy wash. The leader had some guts as he flew down with reckless speed. I lost sight of him before we reached the bottom. All my hard work to catch up was wasted! GRRRRR!!!
I figured we had one more big climb following this wash. If I caught him on the first hill, I should be able to on the second hill. Leading is always tough so he must be getting tired. Right? The wash had more of the hard steps to power the bike over. One, in fact, had shut me down on my practice loop. This wash was a little wider which was good for passing. We had caught up to the leaders in the first group to go out and I passed them here. I was able to clean the hard step by fully committing and shifting my body better than I had before. At the end of the wash I looked up the long hill that followed to see what distance I needed to close. I expected to see him no more than about 30-40 yards ahead. But BAM! There he was already at the top! I actually remembered my jaw dropping a little. I stood up again and tried to power up the hill as fast as possible. When I reached the top, he was totally gone. My only hope was that he might have a mechanical problem (you actually don't WANT the other riders to have anything go wrong or crash). I glanced over my shoulder back down the hill and didn't see anyone behind me. I had opened a BIG gap on the rest of the group. I knew now that I had earned 2nd place if I didn't screw it up with a bad crash or flat tire. There was no way I was going realistically catch the leader now. So, I knew my only smart move was to take it easy and just finish strong.
A STEEP down hill brought me to one last little climb. Now I wasn't quite as focused and made my only shifting mistake of the whole race. Stupid!
From here it was about a 1/2 mile sprint to the finish. Nothing bad could happen to me now so I pushed as hard as I could and crossed the line. Dennis had waited for me there (his wife was behind me somewhere on the course too) and congratulated me on my race. I had taken 2nd. A podium trip! This would be my first time stepping up. Yes, it wasn't 1st, but I had raced hard and felt good about my effort. Sure, you could think back about places where you had possibly made little mistakes that slowed you down. Or someplace else where you could have pushed harder. Should I made my first push a little bit faster and worked harder to stay on the leaders wheel earlier? So many questions that are impossible to answer.
In the end, it was a great experience to finally see what i could do. Maybe I can figure out my energy use and breathing better next time. I now have one more month to train.
In other racer news: Dennis ran a fantastic race and won 2nd in the Mens Sport 30-34! Elisa won third in Beginner Women for her first race ever! Rick had bike trouble and had to switch last minute to a bike not set up for this course and suffered his way to an 8th place in Men's Open 57+. Not a bad first day for our little group. Till next time everyone!

EVANS, Ga. (WRDW) -- March is Brain Injury Awareness Month. The Brain Injury Association of Georgia, along with other sponsors, has hosted an annual walk for the past four years. This year, the walk has a whole new meaning for a group of friends and family.
It's been a little over a week since Mike King died after a heart attack on March 7. King lived with a brain injury due to a stroke he suffered.
Despite the news, family and friends still came together to help raise money and give memory to Mike's life.
"Mike is an awesome friend, an awesome husband and a wonderful father. We loved him very much, and we're here to support him," said a family friend.
The crowd of blue shirts was not hard to miss at the Columbia County Amphitheater Saturday afternoon, but one team did stand out more than others.
King's group won the award for having the largest team in Saturday's walk. And while the recognition was nice, Natasha Savage says the award isn't why they came out Saturday.
"Mike had faith despite all obstacles. In the hardest times of his life, he knew God was there for him and the support group was there for him." Savage said.
The Augusta Brain Injury Support Group meets once a month. They sponsor social activities and educate those who have recently been affected by a brain injury.
Patty Goolsby helped organized Saturday's event, and by 11 a.m., the walk had already raised $4,000, which is money that Goolsby says will go to a great cause.
"We will make a donation to the Brain Injury Association of Georgia, and the rest will be used to send at least 10 people to camp this summer," Goolsby said.
The camp is for adults with brain injuries. Organizers plan fun activities that help the brain injury victims forget shortcomings and enjoy life to the fullest.
And while Saturday's walk was focused on adults, one doctor says parents shouldn't forgot their kids are at risk for brain injuries, too.
"Particularly for younger children. When they have a concussion playing football, playing soccer, falling down at a cheerleading practice or whatever, that they receive proper medical care out of the event," said Dr. John Rigg with the Eisenhower Army Medical Clinic.
If you're interested in finding out how to help, you're welcome to join the Brain Injury Support Group. They meet at the Neuro-Restorative Georgia building once a month at 2501 Center West Pkwy in Augusta.

Office of the President
Welcome Letter to the GPC Faculty, Staff and Students
I am honored to serve as interim president of Georgia Perimeter College. Having spent the earlier half of my career at GPC, I care deeply about the college, about its mission to provide access to a college education for students who might otherwise not have that opportunity, and about the people here who work hard to achieve that mission.
GPC has always had a reputation for academic and instructional excellence. That excellence endures.
GPC is the Hartsfield-Jackson of the University System of Georgia: A point of departure, a final destination, and a tremendous transfer hub. From Alpharetta, to Dunwoody, to Clarkston, to Decatur, to Newton, GPC has been the better way forward for almost two generations of students. We are working now to prepare for the next generation.
The year ahead will be challenging as we work to consolidate the college with Georgia State University. I look forward to working as your colleague to meet this challenge and to continue to be the college for students who otherwise would not or could not be in college.
Rob Watts
Interim President

The issue of open source languages and the availability of development tools is a thought process I was having the other day. One of the key tools in the GNU space is the GNU C compiler. Up until its availability on Unix (long before the Linux kernel came on the scene), developing on Unix was limited to whatever tools were made available by the Unix vendor.
Often a C compiler was part of the standard kit, along with tools like lex and yacc, partially to encourage development, but also because in the early days you were able to recompile your own kernel for your Unix machine, or at least parts of it, before configurable kernel parameters became the norm.
When Solaris 2 first came out, it didn't come with a C compiler—quite a shock—and getting hold of a C compiler meant buying one from Sun or getting hold of the free GNU tools of gcc, gas and ld. It was no longer included as standard because one wasn't technically needed to manage and administer the server.
Without gcc, many people would never have otherwise had the ability to write their own C/C++ applications, and that in turn could have had a significant effect of the availability of different software. The requirement to purchase an application to build software to deploy is essentially yet another barrier to entry that affects not only the ability to develop software, but also how your platform and environment are perceived. If it costs me $2000 to buy a machine and another $2000 to get the software that lets me build my own applications, that represents a significant investment.
So returning to my original thought, I was wondering how much of an effect development tool availability has had on the rise of applications in general. For example, Java is free to use (if not open source) and has been popular, but has it been more, or less popular than C/C++ development with gcc?
Java is getting popular because certain tools and environment are becoming popular. Eclipse, for example, is a great Java development environment, but it's free availability and FOSS roots making it more popular as a solution compared to the proprietary Java environments?
If gcc had never been available, would we have the same proliferation and wide application availability that we have on Unix/Linux, just based on vendor-only tools?
I doubt it, but I'd be interested in what other people think.
One thing I have long wished to see is a portable gui/rad tool that actually does run everywhere, but unlike, for example, Java (or Mono/Pnet), does not do so executing like a club footed elephant on anything less than a P4 with a gig of ram. The issue is not nessisarly one of portable bytecode, as I am not against native code generation, but rather consistent results on different platforms without rediculous runtime overhead. Nor do all bytecode systems need be large and clunky, as Python demonstrates. Perhaps paired with a good portable form design tool/forms architecture wrapped into a pretty IDE, Python could come closest today.
If we had "vendor only" tools, there would have been no GNU/Linux, no free'd xBSD's as we know them today, etc...Human creativity does not only happen exclusivily in a few thousand magical software farries residing inside castle walls, but can happen anywhere and everywhere. If the tools are not available freely, then the creativity may never get expressed, for the greater loss of all. Some of course wish to control human creativity, to make it very rare and scarce, and thereby profit on the backs of the few who they would permit the privilege of creating. Free software is part of the freedom to think, and a question of basic human dignity.
Absolutely agree
The free availability of development and authoring tools is what makes free content possible. Free software authoring tools are a special kind of free content that amplifies free content. Free software software development tools are free content that amplify free content including themselves.
This self-amplifying capacity is the engine that powers the free software movement.
In order for free engineering, science, and art to see similar success, these amplifying tools need to be made available for all fields of human endeavor. The tools of creation should be the focus of new software development by people who are most interested in furthering free software and free culture.
Engineering tools in particular have the capacity to bring new fundamentally enabling hardware that we are unlikely to get from proprietary culture.
This is why I've argued for the creation of and/or use of existing free-licensed, networked, collaborative, CAD software. And I was really pleased to hear Richard Stallman list CAD specifically in his recent interview regarding the GPLv3 and future priorities for free software development.

When Bob Filner, facing multiple allegations of sexual harassment, stepped down as mayor of San Diego, he touched off complex maneuvering over who will succeed him.
Very quickly, Toni Atkins, the state Assembly's Democratic floor leader, took herself out of the running. And that was very quickly interpreted by Capitol insiders to mean that she's confident she'll become speaker of the Assembly next year when the current speaker, John A. Pérez, steps down, probably to run for state controller.
Term limits will compel both Pérez and Darrell Steinberg, the president pro tem of the state Senate, to leave their leadership positions next year.
With a run for statewide office, Pérez probably would be compelled to relinquish the speakership no later than June, after assumedly becoming the Democratic candidate for controller in the primary election.
Steinberg, who professes to have no ambition for other office, is likely to remain as Senate leader through the end of the 2014 legislative session – but how long could be a factor.
It's widely assumed that Sen. Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles, is in line to succeed Steinberg, but there's some uncertainty.
One reason is an unwritten practice of dividing the Legislature's two top leadership positions between the state's two mega-regions – a recognition that many burning political issues, such as water, are more regional than ideological.
In recent years, Los Angeles Democrats have owned the Assembly speakership while the Senate's top position has been held by someone from Northern California – and until Sacramentan Steinberg came along, someone from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Were Atkins to become speaker, she would break L.A.'s hold on the Assembly post. But she's still from Southern California, and it's an open question whether northern senators would accept having their leader come from the southern region as well. The regional rivalry could be an opening for Concord's Mark DeSaulnier.
Still another factor is whether Bob Hertzberg, one of those former speakers from Los Angeles, will be angling to become Senate president pro tem when, as now seems certain, he captures a Senate seat next November.
Hertzberg has never lacked for ambition, although he could conceivably keep his aspirations, if any, in check for a while since term limits would also limit the reign of de León or DeSaulnier.
Were Steinberg to cede the position before the November 2014 election, de León's or DeSaulnier's chances would be enhanced, but were he to wait until later, the situation could be more complex.
Atkins also would be just a one-term speaker. But due to recent modifications of term limits, her successor and the next Senate leader could enjoy much longer tenures in the Legislature's most powerful positions.

Action / Adventure
Director: Jon M. Chu
Running time: 112 mins Released: 29th March 2013
About G.I. Joe: Retaliation
The Joes are back to fight any and all enemies of the free world. Unfortunately, most of the characters from the first film are quickly disposed of, and it's up to a new team to save everybody. Duke (Channing Tatum) and Snake Eyes (Ray Park) do stick around for a bit, but the mantle is passed to Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson) as he wins the battle of 'Who Has The Squarest Head'. As per the ending of the first film, bad guy Zartan (Arnold Vosloo) is still impersonating the U. S. President with the help of nanomite-y technology, and all world leaders are under the control of Cobra Commander. The Joes turn to grumpy veteran General Joseph Colton (Bruce Willis) for help.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Oct. 1, 2012
BEECH ISLAND, S.C. -- News 12 On Your Side first told you about Lenora Howard's construction nightmare in August.
Howard hired a contractor to add a family room to her house. She planned on holding last Thanksgiving in the new room. However, a year and $12,000 later, the room was still unfinished and the work the contractor did do was not up to par.
"Well there are some good people in this world," Howard said while wiping tears from her eyes.
Howard's family room will now be completed by the end of the week, thanks to the owners of a local construction company.
Eric Burden and Glenn Ernston with Unlimited Residential both saw Howard's story on News 12.
"This was her retirement . She has worked her entire life in order to do this one room so she could retire in it. We just had to do it," Burden said.
The owners of the company contacted Howard to tell her they wanted to finish her room.
"They saw my story on TV and said God has been good to them and they wanted to do something good for me," Howard said.
A crew from Unlimited Residential began work on Saturday. Some of the crew members volunteered their own time for the project.
"We promised her we have her in her by Thanksgiving of this year," the owner said.
Unlimited Residential expects to finish the project by the end of the week. They did not charge Howard for their service. The project is estimated at $5,000.

FILE - This 1978 file photo shows serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Three vials of Gacy's blood were recently discovered by Cook County Sheriff's detective Jason Moran. The sheriff's office is creating DNA profiles from the blood of Gacy and other executed killers and putting them in a national DNA database of profiles created from blood, semen, or strands of hair found at crime scenes and on the bodies of victims. What they hope to find is evidence that links the long-dead killers to the coldest of cold cases and prompt authorities in other states to submit the DNA of their own executed inmates and maybe evidence from decades-old crime scenes to help them solve their own cases.

Newly elected lawmakers talk sportsmen's issues
This month, the
Waterfowl Advocate
interviewed three newly elected lawmakers about the legislative issues they see affecting sportsmen in the upcoming Congress.
U.S. Senator-elect Martin Heinrich (NM)
DU: As an incoming senator, please tell us a little about your background.
Senator-elect Heinrich:
Raised in rural areas in the West and Midwest, fishing and hunting have always been an important part of my life. I'm a passionate public lands and backcountry hunter. Throughout my career, I've been a strong advocate for protecting public land and expanding responsible access to it for all Americans, and I plan to do the same in the United States Senate.
Elected to Congress in 2008, I've served for two terms as a member of the House Natural Resources Committee and play an important role in managing public lands and developing the country's energy resources, both prominent assets to my home state of New Mexico. Prior to Congress, I served as an Albuquerque city councilor and helped make Albuquerque a leader in energy and water conservation. I also served as the State of New Mexico's natural resources trustee, working to protect the state's natural environment and cleaning up contaminated areas in impoverished areas.
DU: What are your legislative priorities for the 113th Congress that will affect sportsmen?
Senator-elect Heinrich:
Sportsmen are the guardians of something uniquely American: our public wildlife and public lands. As New Mexico's next U.S. senator, I will be a strong and effective voice for access, conservation and maintaining our outdoor heritage. I support policies that encourage joint private/public partnerships that protect habitat and preserve the North American model of wildlife conservation to provide additional hunting and fishing areas. Educating the public and engaging with communities across the country about these issues are essential to ensuring our sons and daughters have the same access to the outdoors that we enjoy today.
The following issues are critically important to me: 1) Maintaining and improving fish and wildlife habitat, 2) Providing responsible access to public lands for hunting and fishing and 3) Engaging our kids in our outdoor heritage.
U.S. Representative-elect Tom Cotton (AR)
DU: As an incoming congressman, please tell us a little about your background.
Representative-elect Cotton:
I've had a winding, rewarding path to Congress. I grew up on my family's small cattle farm in the Arkansas River Valley, where hunting and shooting is a way of life. After college, I attended law school, but the 9/11 attacks happened my last year in school, which changed my path in life. I practiced law for a couple years, during which I represented the NRA in a gun owners' rights lawsuit, but ultimately left to join the Army. I became an infantry officer and Airborne Ranger, serving with the 101st Airborne in Iraq and a reconstruction team in Afghanistan. I also served at Arlington National Cemetery with The Old Guard. After leaving the Army, I worked in the private sector as a management consultant for McKinsey & Co.
DU: What are your legislative priorities for the 113th Congress that will affect sportsmen?
Representative-elect Cotton:
As a native Arkansan and an outdoorsman myself, I understand how central the outdoorsman way of life is to Arkansas's culture and tradition. I also know that no one is a better steward of our environment than hunters and outdoorsmen. I look forward to supporting legislation that protects both sportsmen's rights and wetlands-conservation efforts.
I strongly support our Second Amendment right to bear arms and I will work in Congress to protect this cherished right. I favor the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act to protect holders of concealed-carry permits when traveling across state lines. I also believe that Americans between the ages of 18 and 20 should receive the same protections as all Americans; if you are old enough to bear arms in defense of our country, you are old enough to exercise all Second Amendment rights.
I also strongly support efforts to open federal lands and waters for hunting and fishing purposes. The Ozark and Ouachita National Forests in my district, for example, contain nearly 3 million acres of public lands that are excellent for hunting. In addition, I will support legislation that incorporates hunting and recreational shooting into federal land management planning processes.
U.S. Representative-elect Richard Hudson (NC)
DU: As an incoming congressman, please tell us a little about your background.
Representative-elect Hudson:
I am a lifelong hunter and sportsman with deep family roots in North Carolina's 8th district. I was raised in North Carolina and attended University of North Carolina Charlotte where I earned a bachelor's degree in history and political science.
I am a conservative with a background in business and public service. I served North Carolina's 8th district as District Director for Congressman Robin Hayes. I also served as a Chief of Staff in Washington for five years, gaining valuable insight into the problems with Congress today.
I am currently the owner of Cabarrus Marketing Group, which provides marketing, strategic communications consulting and business development services to small businesses.
DU: What are your legislative priorities for the 113th Congress that will affect sportsmen?
Representative-elect Hudson:
As an avid hunter and outdoorsman, I will work with this Administration, federal agencies and other policy makers to advance the interests of sportsmen through policies that address conservation issues. I will support and promote common-sense legislation that protects our hunting and recreational shooting heritage, encourages land and water conservation and utilizes our renewable energy sources more efficiently.

BOSTON -- Two bombs exploded in the crowded streets near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing at least three people and injuring more than 140 in a bloody scene of shattered glass and severed limbs that raised alarms that terrorists might have struck again in the U.S.
A White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still unfolding said the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism.
President Barack Obama vowed that those responsible will "feel the full weight of justice."
As many as two unexploded bombs were also found near the end of the 26.2-mile course as part of what appeared to be a well-coordinated attack, but they were safely disarmed, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity because of the continuing investigation.
The fiery twin blasts took place about 10 seconds and about 100 yards apart, knocking spectators and at least one runner off their feet, shattering windows and sending dense plumes of smoke rising over the street and through the fluttering national flags lining the route. Blood stained the pavement, and huge shards were missing from window panes as high as three stories.
"They just started bringing people in with no limbs," said runner Tim Davey of Richmond, Va. He said he and his wife, Lisa, tried to shield their children's eyes from the gruesome scene inside a medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners, but "they saw a lot."
"They just kept filling up with more and more casualties," Lisa Davey said. "Most everybody was conscious. They were very dazed."
As the FBI took charge of the investigation, authorities shed no light on a motive or who may have carried out the bombings, and police said they had no suspects in custody. Officials in Washington said there was no immediate claim of responsibility.
WBZ-TV reported late Monday that law enforcement officers were searching an apartment in the Boston suburb of Revere. Massachusetts State Police confirmed that a search warrant related to the investigation into the explosions was served Monday night in Revere but provided no further details.
Police said three people were killed. An 8-year-old boy was among the dead, according to a person who talked to a friend of the family and spoke on condition of anonymity. The person said the boy's mother and sister were also injured as they waited for his father to finish the race.
Hospitals reported at least 144 people injured, at least 17 of them critically. The victims' injuries included broken bones, shrapnel wounds and ruptured eardrums.
At Massachusetts General Hospital, Alasdair Conn, chief of emergency services, said: "This is something I've never seen in my 25 years here ... this amount of carnage in the civilian population. This is what we expect from war."
Some 23,000 runners took part in the race, one of the world's oldest and most prestigious marathons.
One of Boston's biggest annual events, the race winds up near Copley Square, not far from the landmark Prudential Center and the Boston Public Library. It is held on Patriots Day, which commemorates the first battles of the American Revolution, at Concord and Lexington in 1775.
Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis asked people to stay indoors or go back to their hotel rooms and avoid crowds as bomb squads methodically checked parcels and bags left along the race route. He said investigators didn't know whether the bombs were hidden in mailboxes or trash cans.
He said authorities had received "no specific intelligence that anything was going to happen" at the race.
The Federal Aviation Administration barred low-flying aircraft within 3.5 miles of the site.
"We still don't know who did this or why," Obama said at the White House, adding, "Make no mistake: We will get to the bottom of this."
With scant official information to guide them, members of Congress said there was little or no doubt it was an act of terrorism.
"We just don't know whether it's foreign or domestic," said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security.
A few miles away from the finish line and around the same time, a fire broke out at the John F. Kennedy Library. The police commissioner said that it may have been caused by an incendiary device but that it was not clear whether it was related to the bombings.
The first explosion occurred on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the finish line, and some people initially thought it was a celebratory cannon blast.
When the second bomb went off, spectators' cheers turned to screams. As sirens blared, emergency workers and National Guardsmen who had been assigned to the race for crowd control began climbing over and tearing down temporary fences to get to the blast site.
The bombings occurred about four hours into the race and two hours after the men's winner crossed the finish line. By that point, more than 17,000 of the athletes had finished the marathon, but thousands more were still running.
The attack may have been timed for maximum carnage: The four-hour mark is typically a crowded time near the finish line because of the slow-but-steady recreational runners completing the race and because of all the friends and relatives clustered around to cheer them on.
Runners in the medical tent for treatment of dehydration or other race-related ills were pushed out to make room for victims of the bombing.
A woman who was a few feet from the second bomb, Brighid Wall, 35, of Duxbury, said that when it exploded, runners and spectators froze, unsure of what to do. Her husband threw their children to the ground, lay on top of them and another man lay on top of them and said, "Don't get up, don't get up."
After a minute or so without another explosion, Wall said, she and her family headed to a Starbucks and out the back door through an alley. Around them, the windows of the bars and restaurants were blown out.
She said she saw six to eight people bleeding profusely, including one man who was kneeling, dazed, with blood trickling down his head. Another person was on the ground covered in blood and not moving.
"My ears are zinging. Their ears are zinging," Wall said. "It was so forceful. It knocked us to the ground."
Competitors and race volunteers were crying as they fled the chaos. Authorities went onto the course to carry away the injured, while race stragglers were rerouted away from the smoking site.
Roupen Bastajian, a state trooper from Smithfield, R.I., had just finished the race when he heard the blasts.
"I started running toward the blast. And there were people all over the floor," he said. "We started grabbing tourniquets and started tying legs. A lot of people amputated. ... At least 25 to 30 people have at least one leg missing, or an ankle missing, or two legs missing."
The race honored the victims of the Newtown, Conn., shooting with a special mile marker in Monday's race.
Boston Athletic Association president Joanne Flaminio previously said there was "special significance" to the fact that the race is 26.2 miles long and 26 people died at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Associated Press writers Jay Lindsay, Steve LeBlanc, Bridget Murphy and Meghan Barr in Boston; Julie Pace, Lara Jakes and Eileen Sullivan in Washington; and Marilynn Marchione in Milwaukee contributed to this report.

The Gods have disappeared and the old sun has died, letting a vile twilight engulf the world of Nyn. In exchange for all treasures the mortals possessed, the evil giants agreed to forge a new sun and hurl it into the sky.
But the deal was betrayed, the treasure stolen and now the mortals flee the wrath of the giants. Under the light of a new sun the mortals stumble into a world changed and twisted by an age of twilight. The long journey home has become a conquest of survival.
