Whether you're 16 or 65, new relationships stir up the same sparks of excitement and the same lapses in judgment. That's the gist of "Gloria," the delightful Chilean drama about middle-age love between characters who have maturity on their side but still prove we're all amateurs when it comes to relationships.
Paulina Garcia practically pops off the screen as Gloria, a woman whose bubbly buoyancy can't quite mask her loneliness. Her two adult children don't always call her back, but she stays busy with work and yoga. Most nights, she heads to the local disco, where she usually ends up swaying solo on the dance floor, her sex appeal nearly obscured by oversized plastic glasses.
It's there she meets Rodolfo (Sergio Hernandez), a recently divorced man who picks her up with the brightly disarming line, "Are you always this happy?" Despite a fumbling first conversation, the buttoned-up businessman and Gloria quickly settle into a serious relationship that includes dinner parties with friends and paintball target practice, passionate sex and poetry readings for two.
At first, things are easy. But while Gloria fully embraces new experiences and people, Rodolfo is cagey. He won't even tell his two daughters he has a girlfriend. Before you know it, spiderweb cracks emerge in a foundation that seemed effortlessly solid.
With the exception of Nancy Meyers' movies ("It's Complicated," "Something's Gotta Give"), love stories about 50- and 60-year-olds are a rarity on screen, and nudity with middle-aged actors is practically unheard of. We're so used to seeing young, lithe bodies stripping down in movies that a glimpse of naked humans who look like actual people can be a little jarring. But there's a point to writer-director Sebastian Lelio's naturalism: Gloria and Rodolfo experience the same awkwardness and electric charge as any new couple, regardless of how many times they've been around the block.
The film's great revelation is Garcia, who's best known in her native Chile for theater acting and directing. She's a master at conveying nuances of emotion. When Rodolfo takes a call on his cellphone during the middle of their first date, her firmly plastered smile imparts both an extreme effort to seem happy and a simmering annoyance. Gloria is a complex person, and the movie takes its time revealing her. Even a tiny scene of routine, where Gloria slathers on a thick veneer of night cream before bed, rounds out her character: She's a woman who cares about her looks even while she hides behind huge glasses.
There are a few missteps in the movie, including a discordant moment of jealousy. But for the most part, "Gloria" is a day brightener of a character study about finding someone new and making the same old mistakes.

BOSTON -- The painstaking work to identify a bombing suspect from reams of Boston Marathon footage yielded a possible breakthrough as investigators focused on a man seen dropping off a bag, and then walking away from the site of the second of two deadly explosions.
The discovery of the image -- found on surveillance footage from a department store near the finish line -- was detailed by a city politician two days after the attack that left three people dead, wounded more than 170, and cast a dark shadow over one of this city's most joyous traditions. The footage hasn't been made public.
At an interfaith service honoring the victims Thursday, President Barack Obama said "there is a piece of Boston in me" as he paid tribute to the city shaken by what he has called an act of terror.
"Every one of us stands with you," he said, declaring later: "You will run again!"
There was a heavy police presence around the city's main Roman Catholic cathedral as residents lined up before dawn, hoping to get one of the roughly 2,000 seats inside. By 9 a.m., they were being turned away.
Streets were blocked off around the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston's South End.
Among the hundreds in line was 18-year-old Eli Philips. The college student was a Marathon volunteer and was wearing his volunteer jacket on Thursday morning.
He said he was still shocked that "something that was euphoric went so bad."
Ricky Hall, 67, of Cambridge, showed up at 8 a.m. but was turned away from the line to get inside that was already stretching down at least two city blocks, so decided just to stay outside.
"I came to pay my respects to the victims," he said, but was also angry that someone would desecrate the marathon and urged maximum punishment for the perpetrators.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Thursday the FBI wants to speak with individuals seen in at least one video from marathon, but she says she isn't calling them suspects.
Without providing details of the men's appearance or what the video shows, Napolitano told the House Homeland Security Committee on Thursday that "there is some video that raised the question" of individuals the FBI would like to interview. She said the investigation is continuing "apace."
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said he shared the frustration that the person or people responsible were still at large, but he said solving the case will not "happen by magic."
"It's going to happen by doing the careful work that must be done in a thorough investigation," Patrick said. "That means going through the couple of blocks at the blast scene square inch by square inch and picking up pieces of evidence and following those trails, and that's going to take some time."
The bombs were crudely fashioned from ordinary kitchen pressure cookers packed with explosives, nails and ball bearings, investigators and others close to the case said. Investigators suspect the devices were then hidden in black duffel bags and left on the ground.
As a result, they were looking for images of someone lugging a dark, heavy bag. Investigators had appealed to the public to provide videos and photographs from the race finish line.
City Council President Stephen Murphy, who said he was briefed by Boston police, said investigators saw the image of the man dropping off a bag and matched the findings with witness descriptions of someone leaving the scene.
One department store video "has confirmed that a suspect is seen dropping a bag near the point of the second explosion and heading off," Murphy said.
Separately, a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity confirmed only that investigators had an image of a potential suspect whose name was not known to them and who had not been questioned.
Several media outlets reported that a suspect had been identified from surveillance video taken at a Lord & Taylor department store between the sites of the bomb blasts.
At least 14 bombing victims, including three children, remained in critical condition. Dozens of victims have been released from hospitals, and officials at three hospitals that treated some of the most seriously injured said they expected all their remaining patients to survive. A 2-year-old boy with a head injury was improving and might go home Thursday, Boston Children's Hospital said.
On Wednesday, investigators in white jumpsuits fanned out across the streets, rooftops and awnings around the blast site in search of clues. They picked through trash cans, plastic cup sleeves and discarded sports drink dispensers.
Marian Wilson said she tried not to notice the men slowly pacing and looking for evidence on the street behind her as she ate a tuna sandwich at Stephanie's on Newbury, a restaurant a block from the site of the bombings.
"I just go in and out of being completely freaked out," she said.
Boston remained under a heavy security presence, with scores of National Guard troops gathering among armored Humvees in the Boston Common.
Kenya Nadry, a website designer, took her 5-year-old nephew to a playground.
"There's still some sense of fear, but I feel like Boston's resilient," she said. "The fine men in blue will take care of a lot of it."
Dr. Horacio Hojman, associate chief of trauma at Tufts Medical Center, said patients were in surprisingly good spirits when they were brought in.
"Despite what they witnessed, despite what they suffered, despite many of them having life-threatening injuries, their spirits were not broken," he said. "And I think that should probably be the message for all of us -- that this horrible act of terror will not bring us down."
Obama and his challenger in the last election, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, planned to visit Boston on Thursday to attend the vigil.
The blasts killed 8-year-old Martin Richard, of Boston, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, of Medford, and Lu Lingzi, a Boston University graduate student from China.
Associated Press writers Jay Lindsay, Pat Eaton-Robb, Steve LeBlanc, Bridget Murphy and Meghan Barr in Boston; Eileen Sullivan, Julie Pace and Lara Jakes in Washington; and Marilynn Marchione in Milwaukee contributed to this report.

I haven't paid much attention to the frenzy over Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's best-selling feminist manifesto "Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead." Sandberg's new book was not on my must-read list. I have no desire to climb the corporate ladder to COO. I am single and don't have children. My challenges to balance work and family life are the result of my own obsessive work habits -- not the fact that my lazy husband won't do the laundry.
So when I went to hear Sandberg speak at the Professional BusinessWomen of California 24th annual conference last Thursday before a packed house of 4,000 women at Moscone Center in San Francisco, I didn't expect that much of what she had to say would apply to me.
Yet Sandberg got my attention when she started talking about the root causes behind the vast disparity between men and women in leadership roles. Specifically, why women are 50 percent of the population and 59 percent of college graduates yet men continue to overwhelmingly dominate the upper echelons in the public and private sectors.
The Facebook COO said gender stereotyping that starts in young children discourages girls from developing leadership skills.
Girls are taught to try to strive to be well liked rather than to lead.
"We use the word "bossy" for our daughters," Sandberg said. "We don't use that word for our sons."
Yet bossiness -- getting people to do what you want them to do -- is a key skill for executive leadership.
What message do we send to our little girls when we tell them that it's an undesirable trait for them to have?
I thought about my own childhood growing up in the 1970s. I liked to play sports and often organized competitions for the neighborhood kids. Some of the adults in the neighborhood called me a bossy Tom Boy which hurt my feelings. When I joined Little League, I was the only girl. My sixth-grade teacher whose son also played (very poorly) told me girls had no business on the playing field. She and her husband, one of the coaches, drummed me out of the league.
I decided to attend an all-women's college -- Smith in Massachusetts -- to be in an environment that encouraged girls to explore their fullest potential. We were expected to go out into the world and become leaders in our chosen fields. We had many examples in alums like feminist icon Gloria Steinem who was instrumental in launching the women's movement.
I was fortunate to have had this confidence instilled in me at an early age. For when I did experience sexism in the workplace, I never felt like I wasn't good enough. It was their problem.
But as Sandberg pointed out, many women suffer from insecurity in the workplace -- a direct result of what they were told as kids.
Sandberg urged all women to push -- "lean in" she calls it -- and reach for what they want rather than allowing their ambitions to be curtailed by gender stereotypes and their own insecurity.
Women tend to underestimate their readiness for a promotion. They think that they have to possess every single qualification for a job in order to apply. Men on the other hand tend to inflate their credentials.
Obviously this is not true for all men and all women. There are women like Meg Whitman, president and CEO of Hewlett-Packard and former California gubernatorial candidate, who have achieved tremendous success as leaders of major companies.
Sandberg's point is it is nothing approaching their percentage of the population.
Amanda Wheaton, a 30-year-old Cisco systems engineer, says that when she goes to job conferences, "out of 300 people there, maybe 10 are chicks."
"Sandberg was a good reminder for me and some things I've been thinking about," Wheaton said. "We don't have to wait for all the answers to go for what we want."
Debora Jackson, a marketing and outreach assistant for the Unity Council homeownership center in Oakland, also left inspired.
Though she noted with disappointment that there were so few African-American women like herself in attendance at the conference or on panels.
"You can't participate if you aren't here," said Jackson, 63, who wants to disseminate what she learned into the community.
The conference title was "The Next Genderation, unlocking the full potential of women in the workplace."
One thing is certain. The attendees left fired up and ready to take their workplaces by storm.

Harvick captures Unlimited exhibition at Daytona
Published: Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 12:21 a.m.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Kevin Harvick won the first race of Speedweeks, dominating the final two segments of the exhibition Sprint Unlimited in the debut of NASCAR's new Gen-6 car.
Daytona 500 qualifying
1 p.m., FOX
"I'm glad we got Speedweeks started off the right way," said Harvick, who won Saturday night's non-points race at Daytona International Speedway for the third time in five years.
But with only 19 cars in the field at the start of the race — and that was whittled down to 12 after an early accident — there wasn't a great feel for what the Feb. 24 season-opening Daytona 500 will look like with a full 43-car field.
"We'll have to wait a week and see what the weather is like," Harvick said. "There's still a lot to learn with a full pack of cars."
There wasn't a chance for that in the 75-lap exhibition race, which was split into three segments. Fans got to vote on the format and decided on 30 laps, 25 laps then a 20-lap sprint to the finish.
But several big names were knocked out a mere 15 laps into the race. Tony Stewart was running second when he cut across the front of Marcos Ambrose, making slight contact that turned Stewart sideways and required a save to keep from crashing. Traffic stacked up behind him, triggering a chain-reaction, nine-car crash that wiped out seven cars.
Taken out just 15 laps into the first segment were defending race winner Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin from Joe Gibbs Racing, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson from Hendrick Motorsports, Mark Martin and Kurt Busch.
"I didn't see much. I was just cruising along and I saw sparks in front of me — I knew that wasn't good," Johnson said.
It was a costly crash for Kurt Busch, who also wrecked in practice Friday and has two damaged race cars just two days into Speedweeks. His Furniture Row Racing team was getting assistance from Richard Childress Racing on car repairs to ensure Busch has enough in the fleet to get to the Daytona 500.
Stewart, who took responsibility for triggering the crash, went on to "win" the first segment.
Fans then voted for the drivers to make a four-tire change during a pit stop between the first and second segment, and it was largely Harvick's race from there. He dominated the final two segments, and held off challenges from Stewart and Greg Biffle on the final lap to win in his Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet.
It's a strong opener to what's going to be Harvick's final year with RCR. He's already signed on to drive for Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014.
"It's about winning races," Harvick said. "The politics and everything are one thing, but when we get to the race track it's about sitting in this race car making it as fast as it will go. And those (RCR) guys, they don't care about anything but winning and wanting to do good, so we owe it to them and everybody at (sponsor) Budweiser."
Budweiser was the longtime sponsor of the race, which was called the Budweiser Shootout until series sponsor Sprint took over the rights this year.
Harvick broke his engine trying to do a celebratory burnout and his car had to be pushed to Victory Lane.
Biffle finished second and Joey Logano was third in his Penske Racing debut. Stewart was fourth and Matt Kenseth fifth in his Joe Gibbs Racing debut.

Blades of Glory: Wind Technology Bringing Us Closer To a Clean Energy Future
July 19, 2012
There's a simple truth in wind energy -- the bigger the blade, the more watts generated. In the 1980s, blades were typically 65 feet long. Today, as the wind industry continues to grow, blades measure over 150 feet. Looking down the road, the next generation of wind turbine blades is expected to span beyond the length of a football field. In the United States, energy generation from wind turbines has grown by 27 percent over the last year, with production facilities now in more than 40 states. We want to make sure the best, most efficient wind energy technologies are developed and manufactured here in America.
To that end, over the past four years, the Energy Department has made significant investments in our nation's wind turbine testing capabilities. As we like to say in the industry, any new wind turbine technology is only as good as the tests it undergoes. By supporting the testing and validation of newly developed technologies, we are working to reduce costs for manufacturers, speed deployment of next generation technologies into the marketplace, and promote the growth of American companies. Our testing facilities are also attracting companies from around the world to come and design, manufacture and test their blades in the United States, creating jobs here.

The Sims 3 Ambitions is an expansion pack and rquires Sims 3 to be installed to play. It presents another means of expression for the Sims in their ever expanding multi faceted world.
Super Gamer Dude
PC Games
You'll be delighted to know that a new expansion for the Sims 3 game is already here - The Sims 3: Ambitions. There are heart-breaking moments in this new game as the new expansion unfolds. Although the atmosphere and approach of the series did not change, there's a substantial change that brings improvement to the new expansion. The expansion provides a new and interesting aspect on how to chase their dreams and careers. It is definitely a wonderful and satisfying ride in this new expansion.
The main attraction of Sims 3 is in observing your Sims characters as you manipulate their lives with commands and instructions. First you create your Sims you character, then jump into a large town and proceed selecting the kind of life you want them to have.. You could control their actions except their work. However you could choose their careers and sometimes you have control over their activities, especially in meeting daily needs. It all comes down to your Sims leaving the house and doing everyday things. You can even receive a paycheck for work done by your character.
The new expansion has done changes in almost everything. It now gives the players the option of choosing a career or a profession. Careers options are still the same as they have always been since the initial Sims game but the professions enable the players to actively perform their Sims jobs in a participative manner. Professions available include doctor, private investigator, stylist, firefighter, designer and (my personal favorite) a ghost hunter. These additions make the game more fun to play. The inclusion of these new features engages the players to constantly give their attention to their Sims.
It's vital to really give attention to your Sims while doing his/her profession to enable you to create a more distinct and realistic story involving the lives of your Sims. The previous versions of Sims just focus on creating the life of your Sims; love life and jobs are just secondary as they are not given much importance in the gameplay. This time, you can directly control them. It gives you more freedom to get creative in controlling the lives and personalities of your Sims. It truly depicts a real life of a person in real-time whether it's a firefighter fighting to curb the flames when a house burns down or a doctor tending to and treating the sick.
The primary improvement in this new expansion is the way you interact and manage the lives of your Sims. The new expansion creates a deeper connection from your part directly to your Sims. The only negative part of having a profession is that they are more complicated than careers that were previously used in the earlier installments - which are just fine, as careers have already become passé. The creators are probably thinking along this line; thus add some more professions to make the game more revolutionized compared to its predecessors.
Another change brought by the expansion is the addition of potential choices on how to play the game. Presenting new traits, lifetime and wishes are also made available for the players in the new expansion. The new and cool additions include the hobbies of inventing and sculpting. You can let your Sims invent, create and sculpt anything you want. Your Sims can invent a new appliance system and can also sculpt a statue of yourself or other things. The introduction of the hobbies gives you even more opportunities to be imaginative in crafting the life of your Sims.
The Ambition expansion definitely stands out over other Sims expansions. It has produced considerable dynamic changes. It looks like this is going to be a trend in forthcoming Sims installments; and if that is so, then you can certainly look forward to it.

Q What's the possibility of making the carpool lane hours run either all day like in Los Angeles (I'm totally against this) or making it from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and then 3 p.m. to 8 p. m.? Going to San Francisco last week, my Waze app chose Highway 101 and I had two in the car. However, the carpool lane was already filled up and no one was going anywhere. I just think that times are changing and having the carpool lane open longer might ease congestion just a little.
Jess Hutchins
San Jose
A Times are indeed changing, and carpool hours are being extended on freeways with toll lanes in the Bay Area. They run from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays on Interstate 680 through Fremont and until 10 a.m. on westbound 237. Carpool hours could be in effect 24 hours a day on I-580 when those toll lanes open in a couple of years. Longer carpool hours could also be in place on Highway 85 and Highway 101 in Santa Clara County when the carpool lanes there are converted to toll lanes in a few years.
Today, the Texas A&M Transportation Institute releases its annual congestion report, and the Bay Area usually ranks in the top two or three regions with the worst traffic. This study will only go through 2011. In 2010, Bay Area drivers wasted 60 hours each year idling in traffic. You and I both know it was much worse in 2012.
Q For the 30 years I have lived on Wool Avenue in San Jose, people have been using my street as a race strip. It seems as soon as they hit the straightaway, they floor it and go racing down the street. I have made reports to the police department and to the city about it, but nothing has been said and no phone calls returned.
We were annexed into the city a few years ago, and it feels as if they just don't care about us. What can I do to get some of those large speed humps to slow these people down? I have four kids aged 6 to 13. We have no sidewalks for them to walk on either, so I'm REALLY paranoid on letting them walk to school or even down to the local 7-11. What can I do?
Duane Friend
San Jose
A Jason-the-City-Traffic-Cop is working on getting a unit out there. But, he says, many of the offenders tend to be residents that live in that area and not commuters simply traveling through. As far as speed bumps, the city has stopped installing them because of budget cuts. However, they are keeping track of numerous requests, and when San Jose's financial situation improves, they'll be considered for your street.
Q Gary, during the last few months on my drive south on Interstate 280 each morning from San Mateo to San Jose, I see San Francisco Muni streetcars being transported back and forth from Highway 92 to the 880/17 interchange between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. I assume they are going to a maintenance center, but do you have insight as to where they actually go? Seems easier to maintain them somewhere in the city itself.
Troy Dre
A Those are Muni light rail vehicles headed to Pittsburg for maintenance work. Muni says it doesn't have the proper facilities, equipment and assembly line to do the work in-house and says it is more cost-efficient and timely to have work done by the manufacturer in Pittsburg. Because of the height and weight of the trains, they can't clear the bridges and have to drive around the bay to get to Pittsburg.
Q In your follow-up about which documents can be presented in digital form, you wrote that a paper copy of the registration must be shown. Is a photocopy acceptable? I like to keep the original safe at home.
Gary Garnier
A Yes, a photocopy is acceptable.
Q Maybe I'm just getting old and think that the electronic way is not always the best way. I always enjoyed saying "hi" to the toll collector.
Nancy Billings
San Jose
A Me, too.

MARTINEZ -- The 14 boys who accused former Concord elementary schoolteacher Joseph Martin of molestation are similar to the girls in the Salem witch trials who falsely accused women of witchcraft in the late 17th century, Martin's defense attorney said in his closing arguments Tuesday.
Rumors were swirling from students, teachers, parents and media, creating a "lynch mob mentality," defense attorney Patrick Clancy told the jury. He singled out John Doe 4 as the instigator who spread the rumors that tainted most of the boys' allegations, along with a Concord police detective he described as incompetent and a leading interviewer.
Clancy said a "confirmatory bias" led those individuals to look for crimes and ask questions until they got the answers they wanted.
In fact, Clancy argued, Martin, 46, of Martinez, learned to be an affectionate teacher from his own first-grade teacher, and his students benefited from his benevolent pats on the back, collarbone and shoulder; and hugs.
"It's fine if you're a woman but not if you're a man," Clancy said. "He walked right into being stereotyped."
Martin is charged with 116 molestation counts involving 14 male former students. Over the weekend, the prosecutor dropped 34 counts against him.
Prosecutor Derek Butts called the theory that more than a dozen students shared similar allegations based on rumors a "gross oversimplification."
To discount the evidence from the boys, along with computer forensics, journal entries and former church member testimony, Butts said: "You'd have to say this is the most unluckiest man alive to encounter this perfect storm."
Clancy identified the John Does as members of the "lawsuit club," saying the civil suits filed against Martin and the Mt. Diablo school district over its handling of the teacher influenced how the boys would testify. He also described how the main allegation of rubbing the nipples of boys' bare chests at Woodside Elementary School can easily be misinterpreted.
"We're talking about moving a hand a couple of inches; that's what this case comes down to," Clancy said.
And he said those who witnessed the alleged abuse, which many boys claimed happened during circle time in class, were mostly the other accusers. He hinted that the one girl, his own witness, who testified that she saw Martin put his hand down the shirt of one of the John Does was trying to protect her carpool buddy.
"You'll have to make that decision of whether that's reliable," Clancy said.
Butts argued in his final address to the jury that this one girl's testimony "torpedoes his case." He also stressed that 11 of the 14 boys had been interviewed before the first media reports were published when Martin was arrested in June 2013.
Both sides argued whether Martin had a sexual affinity for young boys. Clancy painted former church colleague Mark Hancock -- who helped run For Men Only, a group to fight sex and porn addictions -- as a religious zealot who believed God gave him powers of discernment and that he could cure men of homosexuality. Hancock had testified that Martin joined his group and told him in the 1990s that he had sexual fantasies about boys.
Clancy summed up his arguments Tuesday: "His students succeeded not in spite of his affection for them but because of his affection for them."
Judge Mary Ann O'Malley read the jury instructions late Tuesday, and the six women and six men are expected to begin deliberating Wednesday.

Hadiya Pendleton was killed in a park close to the Obamas' home on Chicago's South Side. Police say a gunman hopped a fence and opened fire on a group of young people, killing the drum majorette. No arrests have been made.
White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, both from Chicago, also will attend the funeral.
Pendleton's death brought renewed attention to Chicago's homicide rate and the debate over gun violence in America.
The White House official spoke on condition of anonymity because the first lady's travel plans had not been formally announced.

Two-time Olympian Stan Dunklee practically gave up trying to watch his daughter compete at the upcoming Winter Olympics in southern Russia.
First, it cost too much at about $12,000 per person for four nights. Then, navigating Iron Curtain-like bureaucracy tested the patience of this can-do Vermonter.
Before being issued a Russian visa, Americans must provide proof they have event tickets, spectator passes, hotel rooms and health insurance.
The most expensive Games in history at a reported $50 billion have become the most confounding for American parents, the very people who have supplied the funds and emotional support to fuel their children's Olympic passions.
"One thing about the Olympics: It's all about money," said Dunklee, of Barton, Vt. "The rest of it is fluff."
Dunklee, who competed in cross-country skiing at the 1976 and 1980 Winter Olympics, was lucky in one aspect. Daughter Susan Dunklee earned her Olympic berth in the biathlon last year. The father had enough time to find a reasonably priced eight-room accommodation that he is sharing with parents of other Olympians.
But because many of the U.S. teams are named about three weeks before the Opening Ceremony on Feb. 7, some parents have scrambled to make travel arrangements.
Sharon and Dean Cook of the Eastern Sierra town of Loyalton had to buy airline and event tickets and pay for hotel rooms before they knew daughter Stacey had made the alpine ski team.
"It's crazy with all capitals," said Sharon Cook, who also paid for travel insurance in case her daughter didn't make it.
Here is but one example of how the system has left them frazzled:
Skiers get two complimentary tickets that they can give to their parents. But the Cooks still needed to buy event tickets to get a visa to enter the country. They wouldn't have had enough time to process the paperwork through the Russian embassy had they waited until the complimentary tickets arrived after the alpine team is named Sunday.
The parents decided to spend thousands because Stacey Cook, of Mammoth Lakes, is expected to make her third Olympic team. The family made a similar decision before the 2010 Olympics in British Columbia.
But the day before the couple departed, Stacey Cook suffered a horrific crash in a training run and had to be airlifted to a hospital. She eventually returned to finish 11th in the downhill.
The issue of money led luger Chris Mazdzer of Saranac Lake, N.Y., to discourage his family from going to Sochi.
"He said, 'Don't come,' " father Edward Mazdzer recalled. "But it's in the parental contract. Your kid goes off to the Olympics, you'd better get yourself there."
Luger Matt Mortensen also worried about his family's budget just to watch him jet down an icy chute for what seems like a New York minute.
"The first price was $8,000 without airfare," Mortenson said. "You can get a small-sized used car for that amount."
Travel visas are just one of the added wrinkles for Americans heading to Sochi. Another is securing "validated" spectator passes to gain access to Olympic venues. Russian organizers created the spectator passes as an added level of security in a dangerous part of the world.
Security factored into Monterey bobsledder Nick Cunningham's reasons for wanting his parents to stay home.
"You can throw a rock and hit Chechnya," he said of a breakaway Russian republic east of Sochi. "I would feel better if they were in Monterey."
Tim and Wendy Cunningham decided not to go although they had arranged their lives to attend almost all of their son's track meets and football games. They rise at 3:30 a.m. to follow his bobsled races in Europe on the Internet.
But Sochi?
"It's in the middle of nowhere," Wendy said.
It has been 20 years since the International Olympic Committee staged the Games in such a far-flung locale when it was held in Lillehammer, Norway. Sochi is nestled between the Black Sea and Caucasus Mountains in a subtropical zone that borders the Republic of Georgia.
Travel issues led Washington cross-country skier Sadie Bjornsen to insist parents Tom and Mary Bjornsen not go to Sochi even though her brother Erik also was named to the Olympic team Wednesday. Instead, the parents are attending the final World Cup race before the Olympics in Italy.
"They've never left North America yet," Bjornsen said from the Czech Republic. "Sochi would not be the place to start."
Because Sochi developed into a major resort almost overnight, it has limited hotel space compared with the previous three Olympics in Salt Lake City, Turin, Italy, and Vancouver. U.S. Figure Skating official Ramsey Baker told Sports Business Journal last year his group had trouble finding accommodations for athletes' families.
"In Vancouver, people were able to figure it out on their own," Baker said. "In Sochi, they can't figure it out."
That's what has bothered Edward Mazdzer, a neurologist who also attended the Vancouver Games to watch son Chris in the luge.
"We practically had zero help from the people who every four years trot off to these various venues and go to the Olympics," he said of officials of the respective national governing bodies and the U.S. Olympic Committee. "It's not there. It's find your way and good luck."
The sporting organizations, however, aren't in the travel business so they don't have the mechanism to provide much help other than refer family members to their providers. A recent check for prices through the U.S. Olympic Committee's official hospitality tour agency, CoSport, showed rooms at three-star hotels cost about $400 a night.
Some enterprising athletes started online fundraising campaigns to offset family expenses in what amounts to a 21st century bake sale. Short-track speedskating star Jessica Smith of Melvindale, Mich., created such a site for her parents, a truck driver and a barber. She estimated costs could run as high as $40,000.
"It's a cruel recognition of what this all about," said Dunklee, the two-time Olympian from Vermont. "Your kid qualifies, and you're put in that limbo land: What's this worth to me?"

Is K-Fashion the New K-Pop?
Concept Korea, a government-sponsored fashion collaborative project from South Korea, presented collections by five designers during New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Center on Thursday.
The five designers each showcased 10 unique looks and models walked down the runway to an upbeat, pop-inspired soundtrack fused with traditional Korean music called "gugak," featuring the sounds of drums and various string instruments.
Designer Kathleen Hanhee Kye took inspiration from graffiti and bright, bold colors. Choi Bo Ko used abstract prints in blacks, reds and whites. Hongbum Kim, under his label Cres. E Dim., presented a collection full of structured leather and layering. Lie Sang Bong was inspired by the fusion of the Korean culture and architecture while Son Jung Wan showcased elegant separates mixed with fur, tweed and tulle.
"Everything has a story," said Lie Sang Bong, who the Korean press has dubbed the 'Alexander McQueen of Seoul.' "The clothes evoke the culture of Korea."
His collection, mostly in black, gray and green with pops of pink, showcased patterns of antique window frames of traditional Korean houses. The first look down the runway featured a wide-brimmed hat that lit up in the dark.
The designer, who is known for his friendships with young Korean celebrities, such as K-pop group Big Bang's T.O.P, compared the growth of Korean fashion to the growth of Korea's pop music influence. Just as K-pop has become popular in the West, he said, it's time for "K-fashion" to grow as well.
"Parts of Korean culture, like music and film, are becoming popular in the world," said Lie Sang Bong through a translator. "But our traditional culture is fading in the modern world. I want to modernize the traditional elements of Korea for everyone to relate to."
The five designers were selected by a panel of experts — including Carol Song, the head buyer at Opening Ceremony, and Simon Collins, the dean of fashion at Parsons – to help expand their brands and appeal to the buyers and retailers in New York.
Attendees included Sex and the City costume designer Patricia Field, Hollywood stylist Phillip Bloch and Fern Mallis, creator of New York Fashion Week.
Son Jung Wan, who describes her clothes as "sexy, feminine and luxurious," was inspired by artist Wassily Kandinsky and the Catherine Palace.
Showing in New York gives her the opportunity to expand her brand globally, she said.
"All fashionable people, from Korea or New York, want the same thing," she said. "All women want to look gorgeous."

Denzel Jermaine Washington, Jr. was born on December 28th, 1954 in Mount Vernon, New York.
As a young boy, Denzel was essentially 'raised' by the Boys and Girls Club, in which Denzel is a national spokesman today.
In his book, A Hand Guide to Me, Washington speaks of the impact the club had on his life. "I spent a lot of time there as a kid; first out of necessity, and then because there was no place else I'd rather be. I was there most days after school and most weekends until I went away to high school. It was where I learned how to play ball, where I learned how to focus and set my mind on a goal, where I learned about consequences, where I learned how to be a man."
And a great man Denzel became. His acting career began after attending Fordham University in pursuit of a degree in journalism. Soon into his studies he found himself wanting to instead pursue acting. And through a scholarship to the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, he launched his illustrious career.
Washington made his first feature film appearance in the comedy A Carbon Copy (1981). Soon thereafter he landed a starring role in the hit television series St. Elsewhere (1982-1988). It was during this season in Washington's life that he earned his first real recognition as an actor when he had five Oscar nominations for Cry Freedom (1987), playing Steve Biko, the true story of a South African apartheid martyr.
It wasn't until 1989 though, after starring in the film Glory, that Denzel was awarded an Oscar for best supporting actor.
Countless blockbusters followed for Washington. He starred in Mo' Better Blues, Malcolm X, in which he was nominated for another Oscar, Philadelphia, Crimson Tide, Courage Under Fire and The Hurricane.
However, it wasn't until 2001 in Training Day, possibly Denzel's greatest performance, that he would win his second Oscar and this time for the leading role.
Over the last decade, Denzel has showed little interest in slowing down. His roles in Man on Fire, The Manchurian Candidate and American Gangster continue to draw in huge audiences world-wide.

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
With its uniquely mystical appearance, quartz was the "rock crystal" used in ancient times to make crystal balls. It was believed to attract energy and is still considered to be spiritual today. The gemstone was once believed to be a compact form of ice. In fact, the Greeks originally named quartz "krystallos," meaning ice, but this terminology soon applied to any type of crystal.
Often identified by its six-sided prism shape, quartz is the most common mineral on Earth, found in nearly every environment throughout the globe. With a ranking of 7.0 on the Mohs Scale, it is a component of almost every rock type and occurs in virtually every color imaginable. Quartz has a great amount varieties that are well-known by other names, including amethyst, citrine, ametrine, rock crystal, agate, druzy, chalcedony, tigers eye and many more. There are also several varieties that hold the name "quartz," including rose quartz, smokey quartz and rutilated quartz.
The pale pink color of quartz is known as rose quartz, the traditional gift for couples celebrating their 2nd anniversary. It is a delicate powder pink color that ranges from transparent to translucent. Transparent rose quartz is quite rare and is usually so pale that it does not show much color, except in large sizes. The translucent quality of rose quartz is much more common and is used for jewelry and carvings.
Rose quartz is probably one of the most prized stones for its mystical properties. Known as the "Heart Stone," it is believed to have incredible powers to balance emotions and open the heart. Folklore says rose quartz can comfort brokenhearted people, bringing healing and clarity to the heart and allowing the wearer to learn to trust again. The stone is also said to foster happiness and the joy of life by bringing about contentment in love and filling one with optimism, tenderness and gentleness.
In addition to helping with romantic love, rose quartz is believed to enhance all other forms of love as well, including self-love, platonic and maternal. Its loving, nurturing energy is said to take away fears, resentment and anger and replace them with feelings of higher self-esteem and confidence. This soothing stone is also thought to balance emotions and heal emotional wounds. It is said to be especially powerful in times of stress or loss, bringing peace and calm to the wearer.
Ranging in color from nearly black to smoky brown, smoky quartz is transparent and owes its warm earthen hue to exposure to natural radioactivity. Care must be taken since its rich color will fade in the sun. Spelled either "smoky" or "smokey," this variety of quartz is often incorrectly called "smoky topaz."
Smoky quartz is believed to help dissolve negative energy, release stress and relieve depression. It is said to be a mild sedative with a relaxing effect that calms, soothes and restores balance and harmony. Folklore says the gem can embrace dark areas with light and love and therefore clear and cleanse the body both physically and emotionally. Smoky quartz is thought to be a warm, friendly and down-to-earth gem.
Rutilated quartz is a type of transparent rock crystal that contains long, fine needles of rutile crystals (titanium dioxide). These highly valued inclusions form a landscape of shining gold needles in an array of patterns that is breathtakingly beautiful. These golden inclusions are also known as Venus hair, Cupid's darts and fleches d'amour ("arrows of love"). There is a less well-known variety called tourmalinated quartz that, instead of golden rutile, forms black or dark green tourmaline crystals.
Although rutilated quartz is usually cut as a cabochon, it can be a difficult stone to attain a smooth surface without pits. This is because rutile ranks a 6.0 on the Mohs Scale, while quartz ranks 7.0. The difference in hardness between the two materials, and because of the way rutile forms inside, causes problems when cutting. Each final cut piece is unique, with no two being exactly alike. Modern folklore says rutilated quartz brings forth each person's strengths, originality and ability to relate to others.
Often referred to as the "Queen of Garnets," rhodolite is the violet-red variety of the garnet family. Its most prized color is a beautiful raspberry, but the gem can also be found in shades of pink, red and wine. The name is derived from the Greek words "rhodon" and "lithos," meaning rose-stone, which connects the gemstone today with the raspberry-pink flower known as the rhododendron.
Rhodolite is a combination of almandine and pyrope garnets. Although it is occasionally found in volcanic rock, the stone is most often found in alluvial deposits in the form of water-worn pebbles. For this reason, large solitaires weighing 5.00ct or more are seldom seen at retail. Most rhodolite is mined in Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. It ranks a 7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is ideal for jewelry.
The ancients wore rhodolites as amulets for protection from injury or death in battles. Modern folklore says rhodolite can help one understand dreams, as well as bring about love and devotion when given as a gift.
An ancient Persian legend states the Earth rests on a gigantic sapphire that gives its blue reflection to the sky. The most popular colors for sapphires range from light blue to a blue that appears black. Hence, the name was derived from the Latin form of the Greek word for blue, "sapphirus." Bright daylight makes most sapphires shine more vividly than the somewhat muted artificial light. So the most highly cherished color for blue sapphires is not the darkest blue, but a deep and satiated blue, which even in dim, artificial light remains to appear blue.
While sapphires are best known for being velvety blue, it was decided long ago to consider all gemstones of the mineral family corundum to be sapphires. Non-blue sapphires are termed "fancy" and can be nearly any color, including yellow, green, white/colorless, pink, orange, brown, purple, golden and even black. Red corundum is the exception, however, and was given the special name of "ruby." Since pink is really just a light red, the International Colored Gemstone Association has resolved to consider light shades of the red hue to be included in the category ruby, as it is too difficult to legislate where red ends and pink begins. In practice, however, pink shades of corundum are known as either pink ruby or pink sapphire. All sapphires rank a 9.0 on the Mohs Scale, second only to diamonds in hardness.
There are a great number of varieties of sapphire, many of which are quite rare and highly sought-after in the gemstone market. A rare orange-pink variety, known as padparadscha, can be even more valuable than blue sapphire. Pronounced PAD-PA-RAD-SHAH, the name comes from the Sinhalese word for lotus blossom. Endowed with both pink and orange color components, its hues range from pastels to fiery shades. Padparadscha sapphires are usually heat treated to improve and intensify their color, while the color of untreated stones will fade over time. An untreated padparadscha sapphire that has faded will return to its original pinkish-orange color, however, if exposed to sunlight for about an hour.
Another rare variety of sapphire is known as the color-changing sapphire. This stone exhibits different colors in different light. In natural light, color-changing sapphire is blue, but in artificial light, it is violet.
For experts and connoisseurs, the Kashmir-color is considered the most beautiful and valuable shade. It features a pure and intensive blue, which is enhanced by a fine, silky gloss. Its color does not change in artificial light, but remains intense with a deep, velvety sheen. Setting the standard for the color of top-quality sapphires, Kashmir sapphires were found in 1880 after an avalanche. They were intensely mined for only eight years until the source was depleted. The Burma-color is also considered especially valuable, ranging from rich royal blue to deep cornflower blue. Ceylon sapphires are prized as well for the luminosity and brilliance of their light to medium blue color.
There is a translucent variety of sapphire, called star sapphire, which displays a six-point star when cut into a smooth domed cabochon. The mineral rutile is embedded in an asterisk-shape within the stone, causing light to reflect in a phenomenon called "asterism." Six- or twelve-ray stars appear to magically glide across the surface of the stones as they are moved. Star sapphires and rubies are expensive rarities and should always display the stars exactly in the center of the gem. Value is influenced by the intensity of the body color and the strength and sharpness of the star. The star stone is said to be the home of each person's angel, who lives there in contentment with the sapphire's spirit.
The stone is mined in many parts of the world. The oldest sapphire mines are situated in Ceylon, today called Sri Lanka, where gemstones were mined in ancient times. Most blue sapphires today come from Thailand or Australia, but sapphires from Kashmir and Myanmar (formerly Burma) are considered the most rare and highly prized. Sapphires are readily available in sizes of up to 2.00ct, but gems weighing 5.00-10.00ct are not unusual. The cushion-cut Logan Sapphire from Sri Lanka weighs an astounding 423.00ct and can be seen at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. There is also a 258.00ct stone set in the Russian crown, which is kept in the Diamond Fund in Moscow.
Because the gem has long symbolized sincere love and enduring faithfulness, blue sapphires are often given in engagement rings to express commitment and loyalty. Many women throughout the world decide on the blue stone for their engagement rings, as the gem also represents truth, friendship, harmony and consistency. Sapphire blue has become a color related to anything permanent and reliable, making it an ideal stone to symbolize the promise of marriage.
Often referred to as "Gem of the Heavens," sapphire also symbolizes a noble soul. It is September's birthstone and is traditionally given as 5th and 45th wedding anniversary gifts. Star sapphires are given for the 65th anniversary. The color sapphire-blue is known for representing clarity and competence. In fact, the first computer to ever declare victory over a chess grandmaster and world champion was named "Deep Blue."
Sapphires have been associated with magical powers throughout the ages. The Greeks identified white sapphires with Apollo and the oracles at Delphi used them to tap into the subconscious and super conscious. During the Middle Ages, sapphires symbolized the tranquility of the heavens and wearing them was thought to bring peace, happiness and purity of the soul. The color blue became the symbol of the union between a priest and the heavens, so sapphires came to be adorned on the rings of bishops. Soldiers wore them to prevent capture by enemies and kings wore the gemstone to defend against harm and put themselves in divine favor. This supposed "divine favor" is why sapphires were often the gemstone of choice for high priests and royalty throughout history. In fact, the British Crown Jewels contain a number of notable sapphires.
Today, sapphires are still believed to hold special powers. The stone is said to provide healing properties for mental illness and depression. It can be considered an aid to psycho kinesis, telepathy and clairvoyance, while providing spiritual enlightenment and inner peace. White sapphires, like diamonds, are considered the guardians of love, enhancing it and ensuring fidelity in marriage. The most powerful type of the gem is said to be the star sapphire. They are believed to protect against negative energy and have a calming effect that allows the mind to experience tranquility, joy and clear thinking.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.

Netflix Shares Pop Above $100 After Upgrade
Netflixes are up this morning, after the company got one upgrade that is countering the effects of a firm that initiated coverage with a "sell" rating, sending the stock back over the $100 level.
"Expectations for (subscriber) growth have come down," Janney Montgomery analyst Tony Wible wrote in upgrading shares to buy, "and sell-side sentiment is generally pessimistic, setting the stage for upside driven by new subs, content cost control (for existing content), and a potential price increase."
Wible says the company will benefit from a reduced float (fewer shares in public hands) and improving fundamentals. While subscriber growth has fallen, it's also tempered expectations.
Shares recently rose 2.7% to $100.29. The stock hasn't closed above $100 since April.
More In Netflix
Meanwhile, he says, the Disney deal's importance "cannot be overstated, as Disney cannot afford to let Netflix fail and could help it raise financing if needed."
Also, while Wible doesn't mention it, don't forget Netflix will be getting a significant infusion from the Bluth Company starting this year. There's a lot of money in that banana stand.
Netflix shares peaked above $300 in the summer of 2011, before the company announced a universally reviled plan to split its rental service in two, the DVD business and streaming, and charge for both. It backed off the plan, but the shares have never totally recovered.
In the meantime, Netflix has evolved from a niche business, DVD rentals-by-mail, and is becoming a modern version of a cable network, offering original programming alongside its mountain of movies and TV shows available.
But Richard Tullo over at Albert Fried think the stocks' in a "reflexive speculative bubble" after its massive crash from 2011, and investors are being set up again. "Who doesn't love a Cinderella story," he wrote, "but we think equity comebacks are rare – the fundamental forces such as technology, rising costs, and increased competition have no emotions and rarely if ever abate."
"As Netflix gets Cinderella (the Cartoon)," he wrote, "Netflix may also get to guarantee Disney's expenses for big flops such as John Carter and the Alamo, which cost Disney roughly $330 million to produce."
He initiated coverage of Netflix with a sell rating and a $68 price target, saying shares are "significantly overvalued and should be sold."

Enterprise Startups Have Cash and (Some) Are Coming For You
By Rachael King
When Andreessen Horowitz VC Peter Levine looked around a conference room Thursday in San Francisco and saw 10 reporters sitting next to five CEOs of enterprise tech startups, he could barely contain his glee. "There's a renaissance in enterprise computing – if this were five, six or seven years ago, to get one person to show up in this room would have been quite difficult," he said. Perhaps he was calculating how much those exits would be worth. After all, 80% of tech IPOs next year are expected to be from enterprise startups. Andreessen Horowitz has invested more than $100 million in the startups in the room.
Buckle up, CIOs, because money is flowing again in enterprise, with 20-something CEOs soon to be pounding at your door, trying to get you to try the cloud product that will "revolutionize your enterprise." The other half, as we shall see, will try to bypass you entirely.
Read the rest of this post on The Wall Street Journal's CIO Report blog.

After adjusting the maximum bandwidth and video quality settings, I was able to stream a transcoded 720p .mkv from my Mac (connected wirelessly to my network) to my ps3 without stuttering, albeit at a reduced quality using the MEncoder engine. As a test, I loaded the same .mkv file and the PS3 Media Server onto a PC wired to my local network and streamed it to my PS3 with the highest quality settings using the TsMuxer engine and it looked great...much better than it looked streaming from my Mac.
So I guess my question is, is the TsMuxer engine only available in the windows version of PS3 Media Server? I'd much rather stream my files from my Mac to the PS3 and not load all my files on my windows box to achieve the highest quality stream of 720p .mkv files. Alternatively, am I not able to stream in the highest quality from my Mac because I'm connected to my network wirelessly? From what I've been reading, my rig seems more than capable to transcode and stream 720p .mkv files (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB ram, running OS 10.5.6).

First set: ???
Golgi was a solid opener for the second set with no real problems. Trey gets the acoustic out for a shaky My Friend intro. The song itself was ok, just average for this tour, as was ATR and Maze. Page takes us to school during the middle of a nice Lizards. Well played for the most part, although Trey blew the last note. Then the Balls come out, and its become a habit now to do this before YEM for, maybe, a finger break before a heavily composed song? YEM was pretty good overall with a decent fun jam leading into the Sundown vocal jam. Unfortunately, to make matters worse, the last four minuets of the YEM file is crap digital noise. Not sure what happened there? Trey gets the acoustic back out for some fun banter before a rough version of the Horse. Silent, on the other hand, is quite a lot better overall and much more locked in rhythmically. HYHU brings Fish out with more great stage banter about the vacuum and a full on tease of something. Eventually they do Love You with a vac solo of course. Cavern makes for a great closer to a pretty good set.
After a few weeks off, My Sweet One makes a comeback in the encore spot and this one is well played and then everyone gets shushed for Grace, which the recording was also messed up so, Im sure it was fine.
Well I cant offer a full opinion of this one, since I cant hear it, so I guess this was just average to my ears for this tour. Im going with three stars to keep the average down a bit.

A Medford family was cited by Ashland police on theft charges after three members allegedly snatched a Police Department bicycle carrying electronic tracking equipment Wednesday evening.
Judith Thorndike, 51, Trevor Thorndike, 22, and Anna Thorndike, 20, were each charged with first-degree theft and conspiracy to commit first-degree theft after allegedly stealing a decoy bike belonging to the Ashland Police Department, Deputy Chief Corey Falls said.
Police found the department's "bait" bike, which they place along streets to attract thieves, strapped to a bike rack on the back of the Thorndikes' vehicle, Falls said.
Further investigation revealed that there was a second stolen bicycle strapped to the Thorndikes' bike rack, Falls said. The total value of the two bikes adds up to more than $1,000, he said.
"I don't even know what to say," Falls said. "When we caught them with our bike, they had another bike attached to the vehicle.
"We want bike thieves to know that we have this bike out there, so don't come steal bikes in Ashland."
Falls said the second bike had been pilfered from the Southern Oregon University campus, near the Hannon Library. It was recovered before it had been reported stolen, and police are still trying to find the rightful owner.
Anyone who had a bike stolen from that area should contact Ashland police or campus security, officials said.

Hi all,
in the case you didn't hear before... Necessitas is a new fork of Qt SDK to target the Android platform, here some links:
It made able to a non-developer like me to easily build and deploy some Qt examples to my phone.
I also observe that the linux package of QCAD has no extra dependencies other than Qt. In my ignorant opinion the port could be feasible with little effort, hope I'm not wrong.
What do you think? Somebody already had a look on this?
It would be *great* to have QCAD on the droid. I guess that this port could bring many new users and contributors to the project.
