(WEAU) - "The only person that likes change is a baby with a wet diaper," said Ronald Martin, President of Eau Claire Association of Educators.
Changes are in the works for the Eau Claire School District as board members continue to work on the employee handbook. One proposal that may pan out is changing the amount of staff sick days.
"Everything is reliant upon an employee handbook and that's really what we're working on with our administration," said Martin.
Eau Claire Schools Superintendent Dr. Ron Heilmann says that dropping sick days from 12 to 10 may benefit the districts spending.
"You could make the argument you have 2 days times however many 10 month employees that the district would not be obligated to pay," said Superintendent Dr. Ron Heilmann.
Meanwhile Ronald Martin of the Eau Claire Association of Educators wants to know if there has been an abuse of sick days made by staff or if there will in fact be a cost savings benefit.
"If it truly is a cost savings measure for the district, we have no problem with that, we know we have to make cuts here and there," said Martin.
School Board President Carol Craig says the board wants to keep fairness and equity between employees since one day off for every month that person works has been standard.
Meanwhile the board also proposed another alternative for employees taking time off.
"There also was a discussion of combining sick days and personal days into time off duty or TOD, or paid time off," said Heilmann.
Either way a teacher can still accumulate up to 120 sick days, but that does not mean they will receive a payout.
The school board still has yet to decide whether the proposal for the sick day reduction will still go through.

Definition of Dialysis machine
Dialysis machine: A machine used in dialysis that filters a patient's blood to remove excess water and waste products when the kidneys are damaged,
dysfunctional, or missing. The dialysis machine itself can be thought of as an artificial kidney. Inside, it consists of more plastic tubing that carries the removed blood to the dialyser, a bundle of hollow fibers that forms a semipermeable membrane for filtering out impurities. In the dialyser, blood is diffused with a saline solution called dialysate, and the dialysate is in turn diffused with blood. When the filtration process is complete, the cleansed blood is returned to the patient. Most patients who undergo dialysis because of kidney impairment or failure use a dialysis machine at a dialysis clinic. Also, a machine called a peritoneal dialysis machine can be used chronically at home for dialysis, which eliminates the need for regular hemodialysis clinic treatments. Using this machine during the day and frequently during sleep, the patient can control his/her own dialysis.

Proposal boosts NH aid to charter schools
Lawmakers look to increase state aid
New Hampshire lawmakers are considering legislation to increase state aid to charter schools.
State Rep. Ken Weyler, a Kingston Republican, is the prime sponsor of a bill to set the aid level at half the statewide average cost per pupil. Weyler said charter schools now get $5,450 per student. Under his proposal, the schools would get about $1,100 more per pupil based on the statewide average for the last school year.
Weyler said another way to boost funding for charter schools would be to have the student's school district pay charter schools the statewide average cost per pupil - which was over $13,000 last year - minus the $5,450 in state aid the charter schools now get.
The House Education Committee holds a hearing on his bill Tuesday afternoon.

He was trying to drive a wedge between younger voters and the Republican Party.

Wave Race 64 (ウエーブレース64 Uēbu Rēsu Rokujūyon?) is a racing game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 in 1996, as the successor to F-Zero[1] and a follow-up to the Game Boy game Wave Race. In Wave Race 64, the player races on jet skis in many different weather conditions, on a variety of different courses. The game was sponsored by the Kawasaki Heavy Industries brand, and featured product placement for The Coca-Cola Company's brand Fanta. Wave Race 64 was released August 6, 2007 for the Virtual Console in North America;[2] in PAL territories it was released on August 17. It received critical acclaim.
The objective of each race is to beat the other racers while also successfully maneuvering the jet-ski around various buoys. There are two types of buoys: red colored, which are signified by an R on them and must be passed on the right side, and yellow buoys, which are marked with an L and must be passed on the left side. Each time a buoy is correctly passed, a power arrow will light and the jet-ski will gain speed. Up to five arrows can be lit in order to obtain maximum power. As a result, maintaining the process will allow the player to maintain their power without any misses.
Failure to do either of these will result in a loss of power (though the arrows can be lit again) and missing five buoys over the course of a race will result in disqualification. Leaving the course (either by leaving the area limited by pink buoys or by leaving the water altogether) for more than five seconds will also result in disqualification.
Game modes[edit]
The game modes are:
- Championship: the player must beat a series of tracks and win the first place. Up to four levels of difficulty can be chosen: the starting Normal difficulty, as well as three unlockable difficulties; Hard, Expert and Reverse (the last being basically Expert with the tracks oriented backwards). Also, the difficulty determines the number of courses played (six in Normal, seven in Hard and eight in Expert/Reverse). Each track has a specific set of points that the player must achieve in order to move to the next track. If the required quantity is not met, the player will be disqualified and the game will be over. The ranking the player finishes each race in determines the amount of points given: first place receives 7 points, second place receives 4 points, and third and fourth places receive 2 and 1 points, respectively. Players who are disqualified during the race do not receive any points.
- Warm Up: In this mode, the player trains to use the jet-ski in a special course known as Dolphin Park. In the bottom of the screen a prompt will indicate a set of instructions to control the vehicle, though the player can ignore it and practice by him- or herself. The player can also start Championship mode from Dolphin Park if they decide to, and can only be selected in Normal mode.
- Time Trials: In the typical time-attack mode, the player race solo in order to perform the best times, which are recorded in the game's data. Only the courses that have been unlocked can be played.
- Stunt Mode: In this mode the player plays solo in order to earn points by executing stunts and passing through rings. The points depend upon how many hoops the player passes through without missing, as well as the class of stunt that has been performed, in which conditions it was executed, and the frequency that particular stunt has been done (the more times a single stunt is successfully completed, the amount of points awarded decreases). The game keeps track of the best scores. Only the unlocked courses can be played, and the warm up level, Dolphin Park, is also available. Players will also be on timer on this mode and can only traverse through the course in only one lap. Checkpoints were also added to extend their time. Players will also be disqualified if the timer hits zero.
- 2P VS.: A versus mode with a second player. The screen is vertically divided into two sections by a horizontal line. Like in other modes, only the unlocked tracks can be played.
The options menu allows the player to check audio, look over and erase records, and manage saved data from either the game itself or the Controller Pak. The names of the characters and the racing conditions (required laps, wave conditions, etc.) can also be changed.
Wave Race 64 was originally developed as a racing game featuring futuristic speedboats[3] that changed forms by retracting or expanding themselves, as shown in footage from the 1995 Nintendo Shoshinkai show. The game features accurate wave physics, which are notorious for being difficult to program.[citation needed]
Wave Race 64 has four characters:[4]
- Ryota Hayami (18 years old, Japan): the most balanced character, Ryota can be used by beginners and experts alike.
- Ayumi Stewart (21 years old, USA): the only female character, Ayumi is the skinniest and slowest character, but has the best handling and acceleration. She is recommended for beginners.
- Miles Jeter (24 years old, Canada): the only character who was later absent in Wave Race: Blue Storm, Miles has the quickest steering responding and worst grip, but is average in all other categories. He is recommended for intermediate to expert players. His skills are especially very useful in the stunt mode thanks to his quick responding controls and tight cornering.
- Dave Mariner (32 years old, USA): the fattest and fastest character, Dave has poor handling, grip, and acceleration. He is recommended for advanced players. He can also take harder bumps without wrecking.
Every character's categories may be customized before starting the race. However, this will only change the skills of the character in a limited tolerance. For example, even setting Dave Mariner to maximum control will not result to an equal controlling experience as with Miles Jeter.
Wave Race 64 was a critical success. It was rated the 127th best game made on a Nintendo System in Nintendo Power's Top 200 Games list.[10] It received a rating of 9.7/10 from IGN,[9] and 9/10 on the Wii's Virtual Console[11] and in a list of 100, Wave Race 64 was rated, by IGN, as the 33rd greatest game of all time as of 2003.[12] In the 2005 IGN list, its position was #37.[13] GameSpot gave it an 8.6 and praised the game for its graphics and controls.[8] Sales were also high, with 1,950,000 units in the United States and 154,000 in Japan.[14][15]
Ryota Hayami appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee, though the trophy depicts him in his Wave Race: Blue Storm outfit.
Tomonobu Itagaki, the creator of the Dead or Alive series, included a jet-ski mode on the game Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 because he is a great fan of Wave Race 64.
Like Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64 was re-released in Japan in July 1997 as Wave Race 64 Shindō Pak Taiō Version (ウエーブレース64 振動パック対応バージョン?). This re-release took advantage of the Rumble Pak (known as the "Shindō Pak" in Japan), as well as adding ghost functions for time trial.[16] In addition, some of the songs and sound effects in the game were altered as well.[17]
Wave Race 64 was released on the Virtual Console on August 6, 2007. Unlike almost all other Virtual Console games, Wave Race 64 was modified, with the in-game Kawasaki and Fanta banners removed, most likely owing to an expired licensing deal. They are anachronistically replaced by Wii and Nintendo DS advertisements.[18] The Jet Skis themselves have also been slightly modified and bear no Kawasaki logos. The Kawasaki logo on the title screen was also removed. However, when it was released on the Wii U Virtual Console on December 31, 2015 in Europe, and in North America on August 11th, 2016, the Kawasaki banners and logos were restored.

Angry Bears and China
I have a number of posts queued on this topic but this is the first quick one that I've been able to write.
I have been reading the book: 'The Writing on the Wall.' Mr. Will Hutton is the author.
The book is billed as a look at what makes China tick and what the west should do about it. …
… we take the west for granted…. and we are too willing to accept the criticism that we are hypocrites…
We also take western properties of China too seriously. The Chinese (actually all Asians) are also far too comfortable with vicious cruelty, far too concerned with what they call "order," have a chip on their collective shoulders similar to that of the Islamic world: they are frustrated by the fact that their core philosophical tenets say that that they are the "best" but they are confronted with the failure of those tenets in the face of western innovation on a daily basis. They have far too much comfort with and tolerance for corruption, and the objective truth we take for granted in our exchanges is something that they are far to happy to ignore. Familial ties are still superior to individualism. They will be only too pleased to oppress the rest of the world if given the opportunity. By comparison the west distributed creatively destructive capitalism, Aristotelian logic, property rights, decreasing prices, technology, medicine, human rights, and laws wherever they took their colonialism. China has no compelling reason to go through their own enlightenment, and the west's failings, like Rome's, will look trivial in comparison to a future dominated by Chinese totalitarianism, pettiness, self-righteousness, and cruelty.
…[we complain but we are no better than they are]… [at least they make sure all citizens have a job]…
You may not understand this but the structure of your argument implies we understand what we do, when in fact, for most social and political functions, we do something then understand it much later – often a century or more. This error is probably endemic in your reasoning but it would bear consideration.
Secondly, his point was probably better stated as "reformation" rather than "enlightenment," but for the purposes of his warning they are synonymous – it's just easier to see China's cult of nobility (Confucianism) as political rather than religious.
Thirdly, the consumerism that China is espousing is necessary to prevent civil war that will topple the regime. That is their main concern: to preserve the China myth.
Fourth, it is probably prudent to remember that innovation (entrepreneurship is only one form of it) on a large scale and the rate of that innovation in relation to the population determine long-term prosperity, and prosperity withdraws if the rate changes and the population does not. European culture has been spreading calculative technologies, as well as productive technologies since the Italian renaissance. Bringing these technologies to cultures is very different from any other form of colonialism.
Fifth, there is a difference between seeking experiential results for people today and seeking material results for generations that follow. These are preferential choices, not absolute truths. Your assumption is the opposite and your preference destructive. It is possible to do both, but only if one is aware of the differences so that compromises can be made.
Sixth, there are a small number of fundamental technologies that led to the prosperity of the seventeenth through twentieth centuries. Some of them were calculative (improvements in accounting, as well as insurance and banking, and questionably fiat money), and the others were largely to do with antibiotics, magnetism, and harnessing energy in different forms. Exploiting these technologies is a constant effort. The Chinese miracle is the consumption of these marginal increases in technology in exchange for labor arbitrage and reduced consumer prices in the west. However, there is a fairly short point where innovation and capital may be disconnected and the culture of China, and certainly not India, has no indication of being innovative (in terms of creative destruction).
I've been studying them for twenty years and they're not that complicated. Like anything else, the little things are noise and a reflection of more deeply-held theories and values. From that perspective we seem similar on a day-to-day basis. But we are not similar as a trend over centuries, and they are moving capital away from our culture's innovative tendencies, and there seems no way out of it.
That's all for now, but if you see governments as parents that's fine as long as you understand that populations must grow up or eventually live in poverty and dependence.
Observation of common people provides little insight into cultural tendencies, and makes us see just how similar we humans all are to each other. This form of observation and conclusion is a vanity we are all too comfortable to embrace.
But it is when we must form mobs, armies, and economies, and compete as groups, when we unite under the banner of our myths, when we express our metaphysics, our first beliefs in man, that those subtle tendencies en masse find free expression without the courtesy of daily conviviance, that we can compare the differences in our cultures, our nations, and our values.
The Chinese are still culturally a cruel and backward people with a need for vicious conformity, even if they have adopted modern European economically calculative technologies and employ western scientific technologies to produce goods and services by labor arbitrage.
What we see in them at present is the reflection of ourselves in a mirror we gave them. What we will see, if they have the freedom to prosecute their mythology on the rest of the world, is not that mirror but the cruel and nasty, obsessively compulsive, order-seeking, emotionally suppressed, and deceitful peasant we have already seen in how they prosecuted that mythology against their own people.
Do not take Greece, Rome, Christendom, and the Anglo-German reformation for granted. It was the forge that made us. It was a rare forge not seen elsewhere on the earth.
They did not embrace the abandonment of reason, as did the central Asians and the middle easterners. But in their past they still created a body of knowledge and myth to fight off the Aristotelians. And they hold to it now.

CINCINNATI — They say teams that live by the home run also die by the home run.
The Giants, then, died a very unexpected death Saturday.
They hit four home runs in a game for the first time in more than a year, but a shaky setup staff couldn't preserve a tie in the eighth inning.
Jack Taschner allowed hits to both batters he faced, including Corey Patterson's run-scoring triple that sent the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-6 victory at Great American Ball Park.
The Giants entered the game with 74 homers, by far the fewest in the major leagues. The Kansas City Royals ranked next-to-last, with 91.
But Randy Winn homered from both sides of the plate, something that has happened just seven other times in San Francisco franchise history. Winn also did it May 29 at Arizona.
He did it in the same ballpark where he hit for the cycle in 2005. The mild-mannered outfielder is the only player in the Giants' five-decade history in San Francisco to hit for the cycle in a game and homer from both sides of the plate in another — and he has accomplished each feat in a stadium where he has played all of 10 career games.
"Just a coincidence," Winn said. "I don't feel more comfortable here than any other place."
Well, maybe AT&T Park. Giants hitters are under orders from Manager Bruce Bochy to refrain from venting publicly about their inhospitable home park, but they couldn't help pointing out that two of their four homers here would have settled harmlessly into gloves at China Basin.
"Yeah, we play in a pitcher's park, but there's nothing you can do about it," Winn said. "You just play the game and do the best you can."
Said Rich Aurilia: "It's two totally different ends of the spectrum."
Winn homered from the left side in the first inning and connected from the right side in the eighth. He wasn't the only hitter enjoying his visit to the banks of the Ohio River. Eugenio Velez hit his first career homer and Aaron Rowand released his frustration with a tying solo shot in the eighth.
"I've hit a lot of those balls this year," said Rowand, whose 13th of the season went to right-center field and was estimated at 384 feet. "It's just the difference in the parks."
It was the first time the Giants hit four homers in a game since Aug. 16 of last season at Atlanta.
But Kevin Correia said his arm felt fatigued and his slider was flat while he gave up five runs in the first inning. And Taschner (3-2) continued to cast doubt on his future spot in the Giants' bullpen.
Over his past nine appearances, Taschner has a 27.00 ERA. The frustrated left-hander has faced 24 batters and retired nine, allowing 14 hits and a walk.
"It's gotta be location because my stuff is there and my velocity hasn't dropped," Taschner said. "I must be throwing beach balls out there. The sad part is I'm getting ahead of everybody. I'm just not sealing anything up. It's an embarrassment when we score this many runs and can't get a win."
Fittingly, the game ended with a deep flyout to the warning track.
Shouts came from the Giants' dugout when Fred Lewis hit a ball to dead center off Francisco Cordero, but it found Patterson's glove.
Even in a hitter's park, a ball can die on the warning track.
It could be worse. The Giants could be in the N.L. Central. They fell to 9-27 against the division.

Child Benefit: An Opportunity for Ed Miliband
I have searched in vain for a comment from Ed Miliband on the Tory plan to axe child benefit for those paying 40% tax. If I've missed it, apologies. As far as I can see from Birmingham, Labour has criticised the move in general and rather tentative terms. But the impression is of the Labour party waiting for a lead from its leader.
It may be that Miliband is operating on the basis that in a war it is best not to interrupt your enemy when he is in the middle of making a mistake. Staying out of other people's party conferences is also a sensible idea for rival leaders, as Gordon Brown discovered when he took a trip to Iraq to steal headlines from the Tories in 2007. The then PM looked as though he was using the armed forces for party advantage. Far better at this time of year to quietly watch your opponents, listen, digest their ideas and plan an assault for when parliament returns soon. An astute David Cameron barely uttered a word whilst Labour was in Manchester last week.
But on child benefit perhaps the new Labour leader doesn't know what to think. Considering his own domestic set-up – he lives with a wealthy lawyer and hasn't yet put his name on his child's birth certificate – he is an unlikely defender of traditional stay at home mums.
As a rule Ed Miliband also likes the "well-off" paying more and may be reluctant to go into bat to defend higher rate taxpayers.
But his party worships the concept of universality (benefits, the NHS etc) and has just been presented with a significant opportunity by Cameron and George Osborne to defend it. The proposal also sets up so many potential injustices – those on £45,000 losing their child benefit and couples on a combined £86,000 keeping theirs – that he will have plenty of ammunition on hand if he wants it.
Directly in front of the Labour leader is an open goal. It will tell us quite a lot of about his instincts, and his acumen, if he can work out how to shoot and score.

Such evidence indicates that the college "honor code" is a
failure. Cheating is widespread, and the present system merely
serves to penalize the honest student. Clearly, the
administration must act promptly to put an end to this intolerable
One final example will illustrate the virulence of this disease.
Several years ago, a man in L.A. suffered a violent attack of
trichinosis, yet insisted he had been following a meatless diet for
several months. After long and careful investigation, medical
authorities finally solved the mystery at a lodge picnic. It
seems that he had eaten a piece of bread that had been buttered with a
knife previously used to slice an infested sausage. In the almost
invisible film of pork grease on the knife blade, there had been
sufficient trichina cysts to make him acutely ill. Even so, he
was a lucky person. Five of his lodge brothers had eaten the
sausage, and all of them had died. Trichinosis had struck again.
In their quest for a chemical that will cure cancer, medical
researchers are like botanists who are trying to develop a new weed
killer. There are hundreds of chemicals which will completely
destroy any weeds on which they are sprayed. Unfortunately, most
of those chemicals are equally efficient in killing grass, and they
therefore cannot be used to eliminate weeds from a lawn. A good
weed killer must be selective, destroying the weeds but leaving the
grass unharmed. In similar fashion, an anti-cancer drug must seek
out and destroy cancer cells without injuring normal body
tissues. Otherwise, the "cure" would be as bad as the
disease. So far, no completely successful "weed kill" for cancer
has been discovered, but many promising research programs are
underway. No one can predict when a scientific breakthrough will
occur. But, as one scientist hs said, there is now, for the first
time, a scent of ultimate victory in the air.
Obviously, then, the present university disciplinary committee should
be replaced by a student court. An overwhelming majority of the
student body favors such a change. Why, then, are the
administrative officials of the institution reluctant to alter the
system? Are they simply indifferent to student opinion? In
either case, what can be done to make them realize the seriousness of
this problem? These are questions that deserve careful
consideration by every member of the student body.
Louis Slottin was not a great or famous man, and he has been in his
grave now for almost eight years. Yet his story has seemed worth
telling, and not only because nuclear radiation, which kills without
being seen or felt, is more terrifying than need be, just because it is
so mysterious. It has seemed worth telling also because it is a
story of human bravery and sacrifice, qualities which may yet save a
civilization threatened with destruction by the very weapons Louis
Slottin helped to make.

Golden Gate NRA achievements win awards
Crissy Field, Presidio, other local projects win national awardsMarch 26, 2013 Updated: March 28, 2013 2:00pm
In the Golden Gate National Recreation Area there are pre-Civil War forts, restored wetlands and a former prison and its gardens. There are ruins of a public bath, a corridor for migrating hawks, and native plants found nowhere else in the world. There are cemeteries for Army personnel and their pets, plus a museum celebrating the creations of Walt Disney.
Bringing it all together was a major feat of rehabilitation and restoration. The joint achievement of the National Park Service, the Presidio Trust and the nonprofit Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy will be honored on April 4 with three Stewardship Excellence Awards from the Cultural Landscape Foundation.
UC Berkeley geographer Carl Sauer popularized the concept of "cultural landscape," which foundation founder Charles Birnbaum defines as "any landscape affected by humankind." He recognizes four categories: designed (like Golden Gate Park), vernacular (New Mexico's Acoma Pueblo), ethnographic (Amish farm country) and historic (keyed to a specific person or event).
'A textbook'
Birnbaum calls the GGNRA's landscape "a textbook, a narrative. It spans centuries going back to European contact" - and thousands of years before that. "The agencies honored that story in a way that's respectful."
René Bihan, who serves on the board of the Washington, D.C., foundation, sees layers: "A place like Sutro Baths is a wonderful legible landscape where you can read the layers, not just the hand of man but also the natural system." That rhymes with local designer Cheryl Barton's notion of "landscape stratigraphy - layers and layers of history, with our time putting down its own layer."
Public agencies, nonprofits and local activists rarely see eye to eye, which makes the collaboration that produced the Golden Gate parkscape remarkable. "They were successful because they've been so inclusive," said Bihan. "They were really involved in terms of public and stakeholder participation, and they listened to the designers and professional consultants."
Fellow board member Alexis Woods remembered an early meeting about Crissy Field: "It was such a loaded site. So many groups and individuals wanted a say in what was going on. The agencies brought everyone together and did it with respect."
Barton praised the "mindfulness" of the planners: "They took care of how they approached every square meter and took time to allow the debate so that each of these places was considered for its particular value."
The result, said Birnbaum, is marked by "elegance of design, sustainability, intelligence of siting and an understanding of the continuum of nature and culture."
One challenge in working with a historic site is avoiding what Barton calls a "freeze-dried landscape." She said, "Holding things at a certain period can work for buildings, but landscape is dynamic. You let traces of the cultural landscape be visible, but you don't try to completely restore it. You can't put it back together."
Favorite places
Asking foundation members of the Cultural Landscape Foundation and the designers to name a favorite piece of the matrix is like asking parents to name their favorite child. Bihan is partial to Lands End: "There's so much to read in the collective landscape, and the narrative is very clear."
Woods admitted to trepidation about Crissy Field: "I grew up nearby, and I thought if they changed it they were going to ruin it. But they didn't. Rather than trying to replicate a natural landscape, they showed the hand of man."
Birnbaum recalled that his first visit to the new Crissy gave him goose bumps: "It knocked my socks off. When the High Line opened in New York, people said they had never seen so many New Yorkers smiling in one place," he said, referring to a Manhattan park built on a former elevated rail spur. "I felt that way about Crissy Field: the euphoria about the richness of the ecology made visible." He called the Presidio "a movie that gets better every time I see it."
There are lessons for home gardeners, too: "See what lives there and what would grow at home," advised Birnbaum. "Making the hand of the landscape architect visible helps people recognize they have that power in the shaping of their home grounds."
"Be clued in to where you are," Barton suggested. "Ask larger questions: What does the sun do here? What's the microclimate about?"
For Woods, it's hands-on involvement: "All landscapes, whether a small garden or larger spaces like Crissy Field, need to be nurtured. We shouldn't assume letting a landscape grow wild without maintenance will enhance it."
For Bihan, "the most important thing to know is that you're collaborating with nature and the site. Nature has time on its side and will evolve the site."
Stewardship awards
The Cultural Landscape Foundation's Stewardship Excellence Awards take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. April 4 at Bently Reserve (Old Federal Building), 301 Battery St., San Francisco. $50.
The foundation hosts a daylong excursion through several of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area's recently completed projects on April 6. www.tclf.org.

Nine Tri Bikes You Can't Have
- By Aaron Hersh
- Published Sep 1, 2011
Canyon Speedmax 2
Although this bike might make it to the States in a couple years, this version will only be available in Europe next year. It has an exceptionally clean aerobar attachment system and unique tube shapes that Canyon asserts are aerodynamically efficient—optimized from 0 to 15 degrees of yaw—and create minimal sideforce. This version has TT-specific geometry but Canyon is planning on creating 2 more versions with triathlon-specific geometry before bringing the bike to America.

In an interview today, Apple's CEO Tim Cook announced the company repurchased $14 billion of its own shares, doing so over the course of the last couple weeks since reporting its financials. The move was "opportunistic", said Cook, who went on to state Apple had been surprised by the company's 8-percent drop in shares late last month.
This isn't the first time Apple has bought back its shares, however; the company has said in the past that it planned to repurchase $60 billion of its own shares, and that this latest "aggressive" move is only the most recent in its buying efforts. With the $14 billion, it has now bought in excess of $40 billion of its own shares in the last year.
Said Cook on the topic of its repurchasing efforts, "It means that we are betting on Apple. It means that we are really confident on what we are doing and what we plan to do. We're not just saying that. We're showing that with our actions." In the next month or two, he went on to say, Apple will issue an update on its buyback efforts.
The amount it repurchases in the future could potentially increase. Company investor Carl Icahn has asked other Apple shareholders to vote in favor of having the company buy $50 billion more in its own shares, in addition to the amount it has already purchased and plans to purchase. Apple's shareholder meeting is on February 28.

Does every woman bleed when they lose their virginity?
No. It's not always painful either. However, in that is like a 73% chance of it happening. An we can merely judge by knowledge, skills, and preferences.
NO. Some women who are physically active break the hymen while engaging contained by physical activities.
Men really don't know if you are a virgin or not. Although, the opening of the vagina is tighter on virgins.
men dont know. and not every girl bleeds.
not all women do and for some women its not even painful but for a guy they basically kind of know by the ok this is TMI but tightness of the vagina no girl is as tight as a virgin
I did not bleed and it did not hurt neither, my experience. I remember noticing an expression in my partner's face when thorough, maybe he noticed it, was long time ago, not my boyfriend unfortunatly but i'm glad it transpire with him
No. Not adjectives women bleed. You can break your hymen way before your first sexual encounter.
Men really have no mode of knowing.
I like bare stripped ladies.
I could always communicate if they were virgins or not. And not every lady, but probably most. I always have bleeders, so I'm just guessing some wouldn't.
no...every woman is different.
No, most women don't bleed the first time. And there's no way for the man to know whether or not she is a virgin other than just asking her.
yes but not a lot and some never know
no not adjectives girls bleed when they loose their virginity... i didnt, and i suppose men know if girls r virgins or not depending on how tight the girl is..
No, not everyone bleed. Men know by seeing if their hymn is broken or not.
they don't usually bleed during sex their first time, and there isn't really a path to know
Some girls break their hymen in accidents as a child.
No, not everyone. I didn't, and none of my friends either.
And guys don't know.
Not if she is a hermaphrodite.
most girls doooo.
and the "cherry" is visibleee. :] Source(s): experience.
I didn't bleed when I lost mine.
I didn't and I dont think you can know. Just have to cart their word
depend but usaly yes
It all really depends on if you already broke you hymen or not. hymen can break by just doing regular everyday events or during a ladies first time. Source(s): my girlfriend loves to tell me all about it...
well NOW guys know girls blleeeeeeeeeeeed
no every woman is different, there is no course to know if you will bleed or not.
the more sex you have the looser you will get that is how they will be capable of tell
depends how tight it is..

Sunday, Augusta Regional Airport's new concourse will open.
It's the first phase in several years and $30 million worth of changes.
News 12's Kristen Cosby got a sneak peak at the new hold room.
Augusta Regional looks a little rough on the outside right now as they work on their changes.
But Sunday's flyers, who will arrive to a beautiful new concourse, will know it's all worth it.
It's easy to see why Augusta Regional needs some improvements.
"Just looks a little dated," says traveler Craig Gnagey. "Could use a little improvement, a little updating."
The main concourse will eventually connect to the new terminal building.
Airport spokesperson Diane Johnson gave us an early tour of the area. It is 23,000 square feet and costs $8 million.
Final touches are happening the rest of the week.
The main hold area boasts shiny ticket desks and new flat screens with flight information.
It will also host temporary security screening.
Once the new terminal is up is there's going to be a small gift shop and concession area.
The entire new terminal project will be complete in the fall of 2007.
In August, construction crews will demolish the current terminal and build the new one.
But for now, work focuses on getting the concourse ready to welcome Masters guests.
"It presents Augusta in a beautiful light," says Johnson.
The timing of the opening, a few weeks before Masters, was planned.
"We want it to be a good experience," Johnson says. "We don't want to have any glitches or problems, so we wanted to have enough time to work out any bugs that might show up."
Augusta Regional is inviting everyone to come see the new concourse.
They're holding an open house this Friday evening from 5:30 to 8:30.

Learning Objectives: Describe how to develop and validate a coding system to assess the strength of local clean indoor air policies.
PROBLEM/OBJECTIVE: Studies of the effect of clean indoor air policies rely on scales that measure the strength of different policies. Our objective was to develop a coding system for local restaurant smoking regulations in Massachusetts that is tied to a conceptual hypothesis and validated based on intermediate measures of effect.
METHODS: We developed a conceptual hypothesis to explain the potential effect of clean indoor air policies on secondhand smoke exposure and smoking behavior, developed a system to code the provisions of all restaurant smoking regulations in Massachusetts, coded the regulations for the 351 towns, and validated our coding system by examining the relationship between the measured strength of restaurant smoking policies and self-reported secondhand smoke exposure and attitudes toward restaurant smoking among youths and adults living in towns with varying local restaurant smoking policies.
RESULTS: A 15-level coding system was developed and successfully described the restaurant smoking restrictions in all 351 towns. While 64% of towns in Massachusetts had enacted restaurant smoking regulations, only 20% of the towns actually ensured a smoke-free environment for restaurant patrons or employees. Failure to code the specific provisions of these regulations in previous reports has led to substantial overestimates of the prevalence of meaningful restaurant smoking restrictions.
DISCUSSION: Measuring the strength of clean indoor air policies should be guided by a clear conceptual hypothesis. Specific provisions of these policies must be measured to accurately assess their strength. Major discrepancies in understanding may result without a conceptually-based and validated coding system.

When I had a good job, which is not in today's economy, I decided to order her "psychic" predictions.
They came monthly, and I received a coin, which I believe is bad luck. More on that in a bit...
For $19.95 and I could "cancel anytime" what did I have to lose? (Alot!!)
She sent a coin. And "fantastic" predictions that never happened. I didn't think much of it, until the $19.95 became $30 something, for one month. Then $50 something for one month. I always pay my bills on time, so it wasn't a matter of getting behind. I kept records. 2 month of over $50 bucks is too much for me! Especially for crap!
I wrote her a nice letter asking her to cancel. I had changed jobs, and the money wasn't good. I decided to really get in gear, and pay off my loans, and skim my spending. A psychic wasn't necessary.
The next month here comes another bill, and report, which I paid, and sent another letter asking her to cancel. This was in August.
Alot of odd things happened. I think whoever this is is a witch. Im not kidding. I think the coin is a point of contact. If you have one, get rid of it!
Freaky things happened.
My puppy died in a fluke spaying accident.
My job closed. The next one had spider mites living in the carpet. That bite!
My real estate agent screwed up, and Im still stuck in Colorado.
I had put that coin under my roomates matress for "good luck" on a pending ankle operation. Since then he developed a huge ulcer on his heel, postponing the ankle surgery, and has had to have daily iv s and a wound vac. We had a nurse that came in our home every other day and she robbed us blind.
I had forgotten that coin until a few days ago when I changed his bedding. I put it on my desk last Thursday. I hadn't heard from "Joan Marie" since September and thought this was all over with...
Today (Monday) I got a collection agency notice from RMCB saying she was "worried" about me as she had sent "several" letters about the $24.95 I owed her from October's services that I didnt respond to!
This is the first time that I knew of this. I had forgotten her. And since when does someone who is worried about you send you to a collection agency?!??
I paid the bill. I hope to never hear from her or anyone connected to her again.

And that's all they were --coincidences.
It is not so much the religious belief and prohibitions or the superstition that I DO NOT RECOMMEND delving in the Occult Arts -- it is all of the FRAUD, FEAR, INTIMIDATION, and THE FAKE CON ARTIST TAKING YOUR MONEY FROM YOU...
You can definitely NOT believe more than half of what you see on the Internet these days. You don't know who I am, for instance.
You don't know if I m even an honest person or if I am a real Practitioner....
But I sure won't be hitting people up for money and doing all of that sort of stuff this sorry excuse for a "psychic" was doing. Sounds like to me you got involved with an Old School Gypsy Raghead who will say and do anything to get your money from you.
I hope that you learned your lesson.
And this woman was very much a FAKE!
That is just how it is.
And beloved pets die. They just die for whatever reason.
I would have sued the vet who performed the spay surgery, personally.
I think you got of light for the approx $25. you had to pay her.
Just consider it tuition in the Rip Off Academy of Life Experiences and DO NOT DO THIS STUFF ANYMORE!

FRESNO -- Police say two men were injured in a shooting at house party in Fresno after a San Francisco 49ers fan was taunted by fans of the Seattle Seahawks.
The Fresno Bee reports (http://bit.ly/1igeK91 ) that two men, ages 63 and 45, received non-life-threatening injuries in the shooting during the Seahawks victory in the NFC championship game on Sunday.
Fresno County sheriff's Sgt. Kevin Lolkus says 39-year-old Amado Vargas was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
Lolkus says Vargas first threatened people with a knife, which was wrestled away from him.
Police say Vargas then ran into a room with a gun safe, took out a handgun and fired multiple shots.

AbstractHoney is produced by honeybees from nectar and from secretions of living plants. It reflects the honeybees' diet and the local plant communities. Honey also shows different plant compositions in different geographical locations. We propose a new method for studying the plant diversity and the geographical origin of honey using a DNA barcoding approach that combines universal primers and massive parallel pyrosequencing. To test this method we use two commercial honeys, one from a regional origin and one composed of a worldwide mix of different honeys. We demonstrate that the method proposed here is fast, simple to implement, more robust than classical methods, and therefore suitable for analyzing plant diversity in honey.

Dallas police confirm man who fell from crane committed carjacking hours earlier
A man who climbed a crane on SMU's campus committed a downtown Dallas carjacking about 24 hours before he fell to his death Tuesday morning, police say.
Lee Dell Thomas Jr., 44, was initially a "person of interest" in the robbery outside the Adolphus hotel. But today, police made it official.
"The complainant from the Aggravated Robbery … has identified Mr. Lee Dell Thomas Jr. as the suspect who took his property at knifepoint," the statement reads.
That complainant was David Cantu, who was loading up sound and lighting equipment about 2:30 a.m. Monday when Thomas jumped into the rented truck.
"A crazy guy jumped into the passenger seat and slides over to the driver's side," Cantu said. "He's looking down at me and he started pulling something out of his pocket and tries to slash me. He never said a word. His stare said more than his mouth did."
Cantu closed the truck door and yelled at his partner to get out of the back of the truck as the robber drove off and crashed into several parked cars.
Police later found a long nail wrapped in a cloth and strange religious writings in the truck, which was abandoned near the SMU campus and the crane where Thomas died.
Staff writers Tanya Eiserer and Melissa Repko delved deeper into Thomas' troubled past and SMU's response to the incident in today's paper.

LONDON (AFP) – Beatles legend and famous vegetarian Paul McCartney was joined by John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono Monday to launch an appeal for "meat-free Mondays."
McCartney said going vegetarian, even for just one day a week, was good for the environment because of research suggesting it cuts greenhouse gas emissions from the world's livestock population.
"I thought this was a great idea. To just reduce your meat intake maybe by one day a week and this would seriously benefit the planet," he told reporters, alongside Ono and a bevy of other stars including Kelly Osbourne and Moby.
Lennon's widow -- famously blamed for splitting up the Beatles, but clearly reconciled and on good terms with McCartney now -- added: "Give up one day and then it will be two days maybe. It's a very, very intelligent idea."
In a video on his website, McCartney noted that the campaign had already been launched in the United States and Australia.
"It?s kind of easy to do. You?ve had too much over the weekend anyway and you?re all running down to the gym to try and work it off so just have a meat-free Monday," he said.

Townes Van Zandt Fare thee well, Miss Carousel Lyrics
Last updated: 03/29/2006 12:00:00 PM
by Townes Van Zandt
The drunken clown's still hanging round
but it plain the laughter's all died down
the tears you tried so hard to hide
are flowin'
A blind man with his knife in hand
has convinced himself that he understands
I wish him well, Miss Carousel
but I gotta be a-goin'
Won't you come and get me when
you're sure that you don't need me then
I'll stand outside your window
and proudly call your name
The lady's been told that all of gold
is worth so much it can't be sold
No time to weep she'll need her sleep
When she carries her face to the market place
and bets it on the opening race
she can ring her bells, Miss Carousel,
but her singing brings me sorrow
(Repeat Chorus)
It's always done every mother's son
is shown that grown men never run
and so they fight with all the might
inside them
When the battle's been fought and they all been taught
that the trick is just not being caught
Will you give them hell, Miss Carousel,
when they're begging you to hide them
(Repeat Chorus)
When the need arose your eyes fell closed
you clamped your fingers round your nose
Would you say that's any way
to judge him
You haven't got the authority
to kill him in the first degree
but would you feel compelled, Miss Carousel,
if you had something to begrudge him
(Repeat Chorus)
On a velvet beach far beneath the reach
of those that come to pray and preach
The natural man who tries to stand
is fallin'
How long will it be before he sees
you own his legs but his mind is free
Only you can tell, Miss Carousel,
how long will he be crawling?
(Repeat Chorus)
The castle wall has grown so tall
it seems there ain't no hope at all
to reach the top even though you stop
for breathin'
But I ain't gonna try to make you cry
the tear drops couldn't find your eyes
It's all been swell, Miss Carousel,
but the time has come for leavin'
(Repeat Chorus)

A Maui Wowi Hawaiian franchisee in Wimberly, Texas, has recently put sustainability at the forefront of her daily operations. Through her composting program, nothing goes to waste, and the local community benefits with beautiful gardens to enjoy all year long.
"Whether it's at an event or our store location, we always save the used coffee grounds and banana peels so that people who would like to use them as compost can easily come by and pick them up," says franchisee DuAnne Redus.
Maui Wowi smoothies are each made using a fresh banana combined with an all-natural fruit puree, quickly accumulating peels that would otherwise go to waste. Instead of tossing them, Redus says she packs up five-gallon buckets full of banana peels, as well as any leftover coffee grounds from her daily Hawaiian roasts.
Local members of the Wimberley community drop by her Maui Wowi store to haul away approximately 20 pounds per week of compost that is then used in community gardens and farms throughout the area.
Maui Wowi Hawaiian has been serving healthy fresh-fruit smoothies for 30 years and introduced fresh-brewed Hawaiian coffee and espresso in 2002.
The company promotes environmental awareness and sustainability, as well as the philanthropic efforts of its franchisees. The No-Work Fundraising program helps to connect organizations with local franchisees in order to raise money for good causes and unite communities through a common goal.

Northport man, 19, may have drowned; Tuscaloosa man, 55, also drowned 5 days ago
Published: Monday, July 14, 2014 at 11:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 14, 2014 at 11:52 p.m.
A 19-year-old may have drowned Sunday at his home in Northport.
Investigators were called to a home in the 2500 block of Seventh Street after the man was found unresponsive in the backyard pool, said Sgt. Dale Phillips, Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit commander.
He was taken to Northport Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Autopsy results should be returned from the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences soon, Phillips said.
"It's unclear what he may have died from," he said. "There could be other issues that caused the death other than drowning, we just don't know right now."
The man had been swimming with family members that day but wanted to stay in the pool when everyone else went inside, Phillips said. Family members who discovered him in the pool at 6:20 p.m. attempted to perform CPR while they waited for paramedics to arrive.
"There is no evidence to show that foul play was involved," Phillips said.
The death comes five days after a 55-year-old man drowned in the pool of his apartment complex on Loop Road. The man had known health issues that may have contributed to his death, Phillips said. His cause of death was ruled an accidental drowning.

After voting to close Albion High School, last month, School Board President Al Pheley doesn't want any other districts to go through a similar situation.
"It was a very difficult and emotional time to go through, but we had to look at the bottom line," he said.
That's why Pheley supports State Superintendent Mike Flanagan's call to centralize several school services.
"One of the studies showed it would save about $300 million dollars by doing this and that's a good chunk of change for the state," said Pheley.
On Monday, state lawmakers received a letter from Flanagan, asking for legislation to allow county intermediate districts to play a larger role in services, like transportation and food.
Lansing School Board President Guillermo Lopez says his district is ready to have that discussion.
"We've been talking about that for a while in our board, in our district. Busing, for example," said Lopez.
But Lopez says more concrete information is needed before any decisions are made.
"What would that cost the district because it's not going to be free. Is it cost effective?," he said. "We don't have any numbers and we don't have any of that information."
William Mayes of the Michigan Association of School Administrators agrees combining services should be looked at, but he also has reservations.
"One size does not fit all," said Mayes. "Not all intermediate districts can do all things. You have to look at the data and make sure there were actual cost savings."
In his letter, Flanagan claimed a county system has worked for other states. Pheley, who lived in Indiana, where such a system is used, agrees.
"The high school they had in the county I lived in was amazing," he said. "They were able to offer their kids all kinds of things beyond the core curriculum."

Broader meaning of the Supreme Court's abortion order
The Supreme Court's order yesterday allowing Texas to continue to enforce a law that has led to the closing of many abortion clinics in Texas was a cautious step, in the view of some of the Justices. But it may well have a broader meaning.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas... September 25-29, 2007
A little post race beer drinking! A short cool down and then to the beer garden to watch the men.
The mens race! A great crowd!
The rest of my Vegas stay was pretty mellow. We spent a lot of the day on Thursday at Interbike and then I volunteered with Cannondale to help lead dealers on a night ride. It was a blast and I tested my new race bike for next year: the carbon Scalpel! It is SWEEEET! Got to hang out with Cass a bit too. Then Friday a.m. I met early and helped with a road ride through Red Rocks! It was gorgeous. A bit too early, but amazing. Then back to Interbike, hung out with people I knew, to bed early and then out of that hell hole! And remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...

THAILAND: A non-cycling vacation! August 22 - September 3, 2007
First stop: KRABI, or more exact, West Railay, which is the beach.
Yep, that is Tim by the pool. Where is the speedo, you ask?
Chaing Mai, although a quarter of a million people, is a 'smaller' city up in northern Thailand near the mountains. This is where we would check out some mountain biking, among other things. We flew out Tuesday and arrived by noon in Chiang Mai. Found our way to our hotel and then started exploring. We set up our mountain bike tour and visited some Wats. We really crammed a lot in in 4 days. I'll let the pictures tell the story...
Had to get massage every day...
And that night we went and saw Muuy Thai.
Literally, hanging out with them.
Wat Arun by day...
We had drinks at the highest bar in Bangkok. Not a bad view, eh?
Sunday morning visit to the Grand Palace.
Dinner with fellow ex-Lincoln HS compatriots
An uneventful but long travel day on Monday led us back to Portland and to our bikes, where we resume life and pedaling. The trip was awesome and unforgettable, but we were glad to be home.

OAKLAND -- The Oakland A's are talking as if there's a chance that Derek Norris might just be able to play with a fractured left big toe after just a few days off.
Norris is talking like that. Manager Bob Melvin is talking like that. The reality is that the A's are desperately searching for veteran catching help to get them through a tough time.
"Hopefully by Friday, I'll be able to strap on a pair of spikes and play," Norris said looking ahead to a two-city road trip that starts Friday in Baltimore. "I'm going to be as optimistic as possible. It's just a matter of how much the swelling and pain goes down in the next 48 hours."
John Jaso has been out for more than a month with a concussion and won't be back before next month. The top catcher at Triple-A Sacramento, Luke Montz, has a shoulder injury and is on the River Cats' disabled list.
That left the A's on Wednesday with one healthy catcher not just on the 25-man roster but one healthy catcher on the entire 40-man roster. The catchers doing most of the work at Sacramento these days are Ryan Ortiz, who began the year with Class-A Stockton, and David Freitas, who started and played most of the season with Double-A Midland.
There is also third baseman Josh Donaldson, a part-time catcher until becoming a full-time third baseman in the spring of 2012. He's the emergency backup, but Stephen Vogt would have to be hospitalized before Melvin would be ready to turn to Donaldson, and even then it would be a stretch.
General manager Billy Beane said it was "unclear at this point" how much the A's feel the need to press to get a deal for a catcher done.
The A's front office has been looking for a catcher since the first week of August when it became evident that Jaso's injury might linger. They even cleared space on the roster by outrighting infielder Hiro Nakajima, who has played all year for Sacramento, to the River Cats' roster.
Nothing came of those efforts, but the A's are in position to be willing to take a flier on someone they'd passed on earlier. One example is Guillermo Quiroz, who was put on waivers by the Giants earlier this month. The A's decided against going after him then, but might be glad to have his services now. (He's catching at Triple-A Fresno for the Giants now).
One remote possibility is former A's catcher Ramon Hernandez, who has been without a job in baseball since the Dodgers released him on June 22. At 38 Hernandez hit .208 with three homers in 17 games with Los Angeles before his release.
