OC Gran Fondo
Ever wondered how you match up against other cyclists on a hill climb? If so, sign up for the second-annual OC Gran Fondo bicycle ride on Oct. 8
A timing chip inserted on helmets will clock times during a portion of the ride through the hilly Santiago Canyon for the 64- and 102-mile participants. Riders in the hill climb will compete for prizes such as Camelback Podium Chill bottles in respective age divisions.
"We did it last year, and people seemed to like it," said ride director Cameron Jackson of Irvine.
The timed hill climb has become a staple for all Gran Fondo rides, which include stops in San Diego and Los Angeles. The OC timed portion begins near Irvine Lake heading south on Santiago Canyon and ends at the top of the second-to-last canyon hill before Cook's Corner.
This year's ride includes a 10-mile Family Fun ($25) course and a 29-mile ($45) course. The 10-mile ride is flat and mostly on two paved bike trails in Irvine. The 29-mile route includes streets with wide bike lanes around The Great Park. All routes are fully supported with food, drink and restrooms.
Last year, Jackson said he had 777 entries, an impressive number for a first-year ride. Thus far this year, he has tripled the amount of entries in each of the 64- and 102-mile categories.
"I'm excited about the number of entries," Jackson said. "I changed the routes a bit from last year, but they are basically the same."
The main sponsor this year is famed Italian bike builder Bianchi, along with two local bike shops – Bike Religion of Newport Beach and A Road Bike 4U of Irvine.
This year, all 64- and 102-mile riders get a free Hincapie-designed OC Gran Fondo jersey with the $99 entry fee. Every rider gets a free pasta meal after the ride.
All rides start at St. John Neumann Church in Irvine at 5101 Alton Parkway. The 64- and 102-mile routes use the same course for the first 50 miles, heading from Alton to Harvard before heading to the coast via the Mountains to the Sea trail and the Back Bay Trail before hitting Pacific Coast Highway to the Santa Ana River Trail.
Riders will head north on the river trail past Angel Stadium before cutting across Orange to the 12-mile stretch on Santiago Canyon.
At the end of the canyon at Cook's Corner, the two rides split. The 102-milers head up the back side of "The Wall" through Live Oak Canyon, swing through Rancho Santa Margarita back to El Toro before going through Santiago Canyon the opposite direction, down Jamboree and zigzag around The Great Park back to the start/finish line.
Two trips through Santiago Canyon will test any rider's legs. The 102-mile ride has a total elevation gain of 3,400 feet.
"It's a challenging route, for sure," Jackson said.
The 64-mile route, which has a total elevation gain of 1,739 feet, skips Live Oak Canyon. Instead, it stays on El Toro before turning right on Trabuco/Irvine and heading back to the start/finish.
Riders can see full route maps for all the rides on ocgranfondo.com with via mapmyride.
"The cool thing this year is the mass start with the police escort down Alton," Jackson said. "The Irvine Police Department has been fantastic."

A's Top Cubs at Papago Park
Dayton Alexander knocked-in two runs with an RBI single and a sacrifice fly, leading the Athletics to a 7-3 victory over the Cubs in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning on Field #2 (AKA "Connie Mack Field") at the Papago Park Baseball Facility in Phoenix, AZ.
Eloy Jimenez drove-in two of the three Cub runs with a sharply-hit RBI ground single through the 5.5 hole with two outs in the 1st inning and a two-out bases loaded walk on a 3-2 pitch in the 5th.
The Cub offense collected more walks (8) than hits (3) in the game, while Cub pitchers surrendered more walks (8) than hits (6).
The game was pre-planned as a ten-inning affair so that all of the pitchers who were scheduled to throw today could get their work.
In EXST Cubs roster news, AAA Iowa OF Jae-Hoon Ha (post-2013 broken wrist) has completed his EXST rehab and has rejoined the I-Cubs, and INF Giuseppe Papaccio has been moved up to AA Tennessee.
Here is the abridged box score from today's game (Cubs players only):
1. Gleyber Torres, SS: 1-4 (K, BB, K, 1B, K, PO)
2a. Varonex Cuevas, 2B: 0-2 (BB, 3-U, BB, F-8, 2 R, SB)

5. Alberto Mineo, 1B: 0-3 (K, BB, BB, 3-1, K, RBI)
6. Ricardo Marcano, LF: 0-4 (L-4, 3-U, 3-1, K)
7. Mark Malave, C: 0-3 (BB, K, K, 4-3)
8a. Jesse Hodges, 3B: 0-2 (F-9, K)
8b. Roney Alcala, PH-3B: 0-2 (4-3, 4-3)
9a. Rashad Crawford, CF: 1-3 (4-3, 1B, F-7, R)
9b. Arnaldo Calero, RF: 0-1 (E-5)
1. Tyler Ihrig: 2.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R (2 ER), 1 BB, 2 K, 2/2 GO/FO, 40 pitches (25 strikes)
2. Jose Paulino: 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 2/3 GO/FO, 24 pitches (17 strikes)

6. Zak Hermans: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 0/2 GO/FO, 15 pitches (9 strikes)
1. 3B Jesse Hodges - E-5 (fielding error allowed batter to reach base safely and unearned run to score)

3. C Mark Malave - E-2 (errant pick-off attempt at 2nd base allowed runner to advance to 3rd)

there was more than one way to get there
supposedly jed "who?" hoyer, too
same...i just happen to not like sitting through shit sandwich meals for multiple years. baseball is kinda boring when you're punting on 1st down for a slew of years in a row.
i fully understand why it was done, but i didn't enjoy it. there was more than one way to get competitive and this was the chosen way.
fwiw, apparently McLeod signed extension as well after he didn't get Twins gig.
I am once again reminded why I am happy that Theo is running the organization.
if not they can just intentionally tank the team for 3-4 years and rebuild.
Hopefully after the Cubs complete their sevenpeat :)
They're the best in the business and have been for 12 years running now. The only question is when they'll get bored of it.
I was right here. I don't require my GM's to be perfect, but I would like them to understand what wins baseball games (IMO controlling the strike zone and creating/avoiding outs), and knowing where the organization is in the success cycle.
Theo and company have made and will make plenty of mistakes, but they seem to understand those two items pretty well.
Now we're all Theo-believers, where were you when he signed Edwin Jackson? Or how about trading away DJ Lemehaiu? And not signing Samardzija to an extension? Or not pursuing Prince Fielder or Albert Pujols? Or signing Lester? Or trading away Cashner, Dempster, Feldman, etc?...I think I'm losing the narrative here.
So his deal runs through 2021? Which pretty much coincides when all these guys are due to hit free agency.
Great news.
"Terms of the deal were not disclosed."
Theo inks five year extension
PC tonite at PNC
Not as a major factor, but could be a tie-breaker. But, yeah, on performance and experience, it's Coghlan.
Arrieta's 2.85 ERA would be good enough to lead 26 other teams. He's 3rd on #Cubs behind Hendricks (1.99) and Lester (2.28)
Meanwhile on the SouthSide

Dr. Harms is great but her office system is not. The after hours answering service won't contact the on call doctor unless you are pregnant or recently had surgery. So if you are in bad pain from endometriosis or an ovarian cyst over a weekend or holiday, like I was, they'll just tell you to go to the emergency room. Then at the emergency room they just tell you to go back to your doctor, all the meanwhile you are suffering in pain. Frustrating!! Anyways Dr. Harms is a good doctor when you actually get to see her. When I was pregnant it was a GREAT experience, even though my pregnancy was really difficult physically and emotionally, she helped me through it and really cared. I would recommend her to any pregnant woman in the DFW area without a second thought. But if you are suffering from endometriosis or other painful GYN issues you might want to look somewhere else because those issues are not a priority in this office.
Dr. Harms replaced my doctor who retired. She is a wonderful person and I have nothing to say but great things. I know she has had some personal traumas in her life but she is a great doctor. "Recommend her highly"
I have been going to Dr. Harms for the past almost 4 years now and I love that woman. She cares and she listens well, never arrogant or condescending. I came to her for a first time a few months pregnant and she took an excellent care for me during my pregnancy, delivery and after. When my daughter is a bit older I would like her to have Dr. Harms as her doctor as well. The girls at the office are also very friendly and nice and a few times they entertained my daughter while I would have my check up. The wait time is also pretty short. Only somewhat annoying thing is an elderly lady at the front window; when verifying the address/phone/insurance info I have to repeat responses several times as if "no, no changes at all" - she hears but it's almost as she doesn't believe you or something but that may have something to do with her age so I try not to be mean. Other than that minor annoyance - I love Dr. Harms, her staff and even the other doctors in that practice are very nice.
I was really looking forward to choosing Dr Harms as my doctor for my pregnancy after reading the good reviews online. Sitting in the private room waiting to meet my new dr, I was taken aback by how rude and impersonal she was when she walked in the door. She didn't even make eye contact as she walked in and did a horrible job introducing herself. She went straight to my chart and was very unprofessional and critical in the way she went over my background and records. I was really disappointed because I really thought she would be a warm caring doctor but she was quite the opposite. I won't be going back. With as many other excellent doctors that there are in Dallas, keep looking. She is not it.
Dr. Harms is a great doctor,in addition to her many years of experience her personality gives you comfort. She is very polite and listens to you. She treats her patients like they are her only priority . I had her for both of my pregnancy and if you are looking for a doctor, you should absolutely go to Dr. Harms!
She definitely is a listener and explains everything very well. She really cares about her patients. I went through two miscarriages and finally a successful pregnancy and she was very supportive every step of the way. Thank you for all you do Dr. Harms!!!! You are truly meant to be where you are.....

The award will be presented by Charlotte Touchdown Club and the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). Last year's winner was former Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers who was drafted in the second round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 51st pick overall.
Arthur Brown, a 6-foot-1, 215-pound linebacker from East High in Wichita, Kansas sat out all of last year due to mandatory NCAA transfer requirements.
Brown, who as a High School player was a 5-star recruit and rated the #1 player in the nation in 2008 by Scout overall, saw limited action for the Hurricanes, playing in 24 games where he had one recovered fumble and 17 tackles.
After being moved from weakside linebacker to inside linebacker his sophomore season at The University of Miami, Brown elected to transfer closer to home and in February of 2010 made his way to Kansas State. Brown is expected to be a starter for the 'Cats and is will play a vital role in the Wildcat defense this year from his middle linebacker position.
So what does all this mean? Well it means that there are those in college football that think Arthur Brown without ever having played an official game for Kansas State is one of the best players in the country. It means that this a player that is talented enough to be listed among the best defensive players around the nation and that Wildcat Fan expectations of Arthur Brown are well founded.
It also means that that Arthur Brown having never stepped a foot on the field this coming season for all his talent is still a work in progress and that the final product may not be known until the season is over. When you are ranked and high as Arthur was coming out of High School and you have the ability that he has - the smart money is on Arthur having a great year.
Sometimes the difference between good and great is effort and Arthur has already stated coming out of spring practices that he wants to be more of a leader.
If the thought of Arthur Brown 'leading' the Wildcat defense is not enough to get you excited - ponder this. One of 87 players nationally who has been named to the Bronko Nagurski watch list, Arthur will be reunited with his highly touted brother Bryce Brown- who transferred from The University of Tennessee last year as well and will suit up at running back for K-State.
The tandem of both Brown brothers on the field should be enough to push even the most cynical of fans closer to greater expectations. Put me down as Arthur might of only needed the right time and place to show what he can ultimately accomplish. Look for those signs on every given Saturday this fall.

The BLM announcement came as Bundy was supposed to meet with Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie about the week-long dispute.
There was no confirmation of a deal between Bundy and the BLM that may have also involved the sheriff. Bundy refused to speak with a News 3 reporter who went to his ranch this morning.
The BLM had been using contract cowboys to round up Bundy's 900 head of cattle that have been grazing over 600,000 square acres in northeast Clark County for more than 20 years without his payment of grazing fees.
As of Friday they had secure 389 cattle from the Gold Butte area, nearly 90 percent of them marked with the Bundy Ranch brand.
The BLM said it decided to end the roundup because it was concerned about the safety of its workers and the public. BLM Rangers and Bundy family and supporters of were involved in a scuffle. Cliven Bundy's son, Ammon Bundy, was tased twice by federal agents. Another Bundy relative was thrown to the ground by an officer.
Safety concerns grew daily as Bundy supporters and militia-type people continued to arrive from around the country.
All of the public land closed for the cattle roundup have been reopened, the BLM said today.
New BLM Director Neil Kornze made the following statement this morning:
"As we have said from the beginning of the gather to remove illegal cattle from federal land consistent with court orders, a safe and peaceful operation is our number one priority. After one week, we have made progress in enforcing two recent court orders to remove the trespass cattle from public lands that belong to all Americans.
"Based on information about conditions on the ground, and in consultation with law enforcement, we have made a decision to conclude the cattle gather because of our serious concern about the safety of employees and members of the public.
"We ask that all parties in the area remain peaceful and law-abiding as the Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service work to end the operation in an orderly manner.
Ranching has always been an important part of our nation's heritage and continues throughout the West on public lands that belong to all Americans. This is a matter of fairness and equity, and we remain disappointed that Cliven Bundy continues to not comply with the same laws that 16,000 public lands ranchers do every year. After 20 years and multiple court orders to remove the trespass cattle, Mr. Bundy owes the American taxpayers in excess of $1 million. The BLM will continue to work to resolve the matter administratively and judicially."
Gov. Brian Sandoval reacted to the BLM decision with a statement.
"The safety of all individuals involved in this matter has been my highest priority," the email said. "Given the circumstances, today's outcome is the best we could have hoped for. I appreciate that the Department of the Interior and the BLM were willing to listen to the concerns of the people of Nevada."

Ziegler Captures 113th Pacific Northwest Women's Amateur; Jacobs Wins at 13th Women's Mid-Am
Aaren Ziegler of Canby, Ore., rallied in Friday's final match to win the 113th Pacific Northwest Women's Amateur at at Lewiston Golf & Country Club in Idaho. At the same venue, Amanda Jacobs of Seattle took control early and held on to win the 13th Pacific Northwest Women's Mid-Amateur.
Ziegler, the No. 1 seed after earning medalist honors in 36-hole qualifying, was quickly 2-down to Tyler Barker after six holes. Barker, the reigning IGA Women's Four-Ball champion (with her sister, Gabrielle), marched through the match-play bracket to face Ziegler in the final.
The match went back and forth for most of the 36-hole match, but after 29 holes Ziegler had built a 3-up lead and held on for the 2 and 1 victory.
This is the second time Ziegler has taken the championship, having also won in 2011 when it was held at Port Ludlow (Wash.) Golf Club. She will be a senior this fall playing for the University of Wisconsin.
"It's pretty exciting," said Ziegler, when asked how it felt to be a two-time winner of the championship. "I honestly didn't know what was going to happen here. This will probably be my last summer playing as an amateur because I'll be a senior this coming year. Tyler is obviously a really good player and she hits the ball really far, so I knew she would probably have birdies on the par-5s so I would have to make up for it on the other holes."
In the Mid-Amateur, Jacobs defeated Brie Stone, the No. 1 seed, 4 and 2. The victory was sweet revenge for Jacobs, who was runner-up in 2013. Not wanting to let this opportunity pass by, she built a 5-up lead after just eight holes, and held off Stone's late rally for the win.
"I've played in a lot of PNGA championships," said Jacobs. "So it feels great to finally have my name on one of the trophies. To see all the great names on there for all the championships, it's pretty great. Brie is a great player and I really enjoyed playing with her. When she was making her comeback on the back nine I was able to put together a couple of solid shots, which helped."

X-Men Legends
2D X-men brawling on the N-Gage.
Admittedly, I wasn't very impressed by the console versions of X-Men Legends. I felt that the game could have done more visually with the mutant super-powers and the camera angles. Compared to Capcom's rendition of the X-Men, the super-powers in X-Men Legends were the equivalent of birthday cake sparklers (while the 2D fighting games on the other hand took a more atomic bomb approach to showcasing mutant abilities). Along with gameplay from an overhead POV as the only perspective to view the action, the game became somewhat boring by today's console game standards; the 3D models were begging to be viewed from dynamic angles. That's why when I got word of X-Men Legends heading to the N-Gage, it immediately made sense to me that this gameplay and design would work perfectly on the handheld system, as there was nothing overtly complex about the console versions that the N-Gage couldn't reproduce.
As with the X-Men comicbook universe, the story of X-men Legends has been told many times in one form or another; an evil anti-mutant villain is determined to create violence among mutants and mass hysteria in a civil war for mankind to witness. Social and political commentaries, the X-Men fit the niche quite well.
The game begins with the opening FMV (from the console version), detailing the current state of anti-mutant unrest. An attempted kidnapping unfolds when Alison Crestmere, a girl with emerging mutant abilities becomes the target for The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Their plans are foiled when the legendary X-Men arrive in time to put a stop to the Blob and Mystique from taking the girl. Amid all the chaos, Alison, unable to control her juvenile powers, goes berserk in an enormous lava rage. You being the game on the city streets hot on the trail of the Brotherhood who have fled the scene like a bunch of costumed cowards.
Similar to the original X-Men arcade machine, gamers have a choice of playing a team of four X-Men, in multiplayer mode (host or join a game) or with the CPU in the single player mode. Alison (later on referred to as Magma) immediately becomes a part of the X-men as a playable character; Wolverine, Cyclops and Iceman make up the rest of the group and you have the option of playing only one character at a time while the rest are computer-controlled.
You can switch to any of your team by holding the 8 key and pressing the D-Pad in the direction of the character. The same goes for selecting formations, items, and special attacks. More X-Men are discovered and become playable throughout the game in different missions. All of their stats will need gamers' attention as it's critical to level up their strength, speed, body, and intelligence levels. One of the more important stats I found leveling up was body -- it determines how much HP your character will gain, which is very important indeed. X-Men Legends revolves around beat-em-up gameplay, powering-up your characters XP with each thug beat-down.
One of the biggest risks taken by developers Barking Lizard was to turn a 3D game into a completely sprite-based experience; a risk which proved successful, offering faster loading times, and characters that aren't the typical low resolution polygons found in other 3D titles. That said, I actually initially believed the characters were accomplished in 3D, while the environments remained 2D, but upon closer inspection I was surprised to see the characters are 2D as well. It's an mistake to make -- watching the characters run smoothly around on screen is enough to confuse players into thinking the developers used polygonal models. X-Men Legends looks fantastic in 2D, with large maps and interactive objects. And though the mutant super-powers aren't as spectacular as Capcom's renditions, they do look good for such a small screen.
Some players may find the action confusing with several characters on screen at once, especially since many villains tend to look like X-Men, but if you place your characters in an organized formation, the action should become clearer. There is also the issue of slow-down when confronting foes with so many superpowers at once, but it's almost expected from a game already accomplishing so much on the tiny handheld. X-Men Legends is quite an expansive title, with areas spanning wide maps and numerous foes and items to discover.
Also, throughout the game you'll be treated to dialogue scenes with actual voice acting and FMV cinematics. Though the cuts scenes do appear blurred and out of focus, they're a welcome addition and make the game seem larger than it already is. The voices sound slightly muffled but can be increased in volume in the options menu.
My biggest gripe with X-Men Legends is the lack of standard attacks available for your X-men -- something that the console versions of the game featured. On the N-Gage, your basic attack is the 5 key, with your super-powers on the 7 key. The console X-Men Legends, by comparison, had several combos each character could perform; an element that was omitted here. Because the standard punch (or kick, depending on yourcharacter) is too weak to do any real damage, I found myself spending all my EP (energy points) on using my super-powers. Of course, the energy bar would run low and I would have to resort to using a dinky punch.
Despite a few faults such as the missing combos, the N-Gage has a finely tuned action-RPG experience starring the most popular superhero franchise in the history of comicbooks. X-Men Legends is an impressive handheld gaming experience that will keep you hooked for hours. And though the game may not be as visually impressive as Capcom's 2D fighting games or as deep in terms of gameplay as the console versions, the sprite-based game tells a story with enough substance, graphics and action to be a title worthy of inclusion in your N-Gage collection.

Remembering Antonio Guzman Lopez: Family of SJ State Police Shooting Death Holds Birthday Celebration
On November 15, 2014, Antonio Guzman Lopez's family gathered to celebrate what would have been his 39th birthday. In February of this year, Antonio was shot and killed by San Jose State Police officers Mike Santos and Frits Van Der Hoek. Antonio left behind his partner Laurie, and his children -- 5 year old Josiah and daughter Angelique. Almost 7 months later, the Santa Clara County District Attorney has yet to complete their investigation as to whether the shooting was justified. In the meantime, his family -- through the leadership of Laurie Valdez -- launched the Justice for Josiah campaign to seek accountability for their loved one's death. A humble man who loved his children above everything, Antonio was remembered last Saturday among family, community, and supporters who pledged to support Antonio's family through the long road ahead.
This past week I went with a 10-attorney contingent from the Bay Area to provide pro-bono legal services for a week in an immigration detention center in Artesia, New Mexico that holds between 400-500 women and children who were detained in the border refugee crisis this summer. Our primary purpose was to represent women and children in bond and asylum cases in this remote facility. We are all still unpacking the experience.
We were honored to give a training session at Wake Forest University Law School to the next generation public defenders from across the South on how they can make social biography videos.

We traveled to a small city in St. Louis to do a video to stop a young man from being executed. When asked about his life he said, "You grow into the shape of the container you were raised in." To tell his story, we needed to tell the story of the city and era he grew up in. The city was war-torn from what many called a "storm"; a plague of violence, poverty, drugs, and incarceration. The height of that war was the 90's. We asked the community members who survived to describe their city during that period. The first person we asked, while showing his bullet wounds said, "Do Or Die".

Barre school budget going up, but tax rate to go down
BARRE The bottom line of the rejected budget proposal for Barre City Elementary and Middle School is going up, although the tax rate is expected to go down slightly, after the school board was hit with another six-figure surprise this week in the run-up to next months revote.
Board members acknowledged they have their work cut out for them during a discussion that was capped by their adoption of a $12,636,552 budget voters will be asked to approve May 13.
Thats roughly $100,000 more than the figure for the citys pre-kindergarten-through-8 school that voters rejected on Town Meeting Day.
That wasnt the plan.
Despite learning recently that school officials inadvertently omitted the final $100,000 bond payment for the school from the first version of the budget, board members entered Mondays meeting expecting to make a small but detectable dent in the bottom line of the defeated proposal. Thanks to $136,291 in cuts recommended by their finance committee and a $9,546 credit associated with interest on the bond, the board was eyeing a net reduction of $45,837.
However, that plan went out the window faster than Business Manager Lynne Carpenter could say: Weve had some changes Monday night.
Carpenter explained the board would have to add $144,748 in special education expenses to the budget.
The good news, according to her, is that the district can expect to receive $122,600 in state reimbursement for the previously unanticipated special education costs limiting the net tax impact of the last-minute adjustment to $22,148.
The better news, she said, is that the local school tax rate would actually drop by a fraction of a cent if the budget is approved.
The bad news, board members agreed, is that voters wont be able to glean that side of the story based on a cursory review of the question that will be on the May 13 ballot.
That was a source of frustration for some and outright concern for others including one member who voted against the revised budget and another who audibly worried voters might do the same.
Board member Lester Felch, who cast the lone vote against the revised proposal, said the Legislatures anticipated approval of a plan that would trim 3 cents off a previously proposed 7-cent increase in the statewide education tax rate was responsible for the projected rate reduction in Barre.
The state did their job, said Felch. It doesnt look like we did our job.
Although board member Anita Chadderton supported the proposed budget, she too worried voters might not see past the unexpected spike in spending.
Im just afraid the voters are going to say no, she said. Theyre not going to understand the tax rate is going down.
Sonya Spaulding said she believed the board was putting forward a responsible budget.
I would hope that the voters would actually look at the fact that their taxes are not going up, said Spaulding, who is chairwoman of the boards finance committee.
Spaulding had plenty of company on the board, although some members, like Jim Carrien, said that while they could talk about offsetting revenue and a slightly reduced tax rate, the ballot would simply show a number that was higher than the one voters already rejected.
Anita Ristau agreed.
Were going to have to do a lot of explaining to tell (voters) that the budget is higher but the tax rate will go down, she said. (Because) you cant say that on the ballot.
Chairman Lucas Herring said the onus was on the board to educate voters in advance of next months revote.
It should be our responsibility to be out there letting people know, he said.
The boards finance committee will hold an informational session on the budget in conjunction with its May 1 meeting. That meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. in the school library.

49ers' Vernon Davis Confirms He's a Hold-Out for Minicamp
When the?San Francisco 49ers begin minicamp on Tuesday, they will be without All-Pro?tight end Vernon Davis. In a guest post on Peter King's MMQB website on SI, Davis said that he will hold out from camp,?saying he merely wants what he feels he deserves in the form of a new contract. This comes three days after he said he would be in attendance.
"In 2010 I signed?a five-year, $37 million contract?extension?with $23 million guaranteed. It was the biggest contract for a tight end in league history. Four years later, and I?m playing at a higher level than I was then, which brings me to why I?m holding out. It?s all about getting paid what you deserve. It?s not that complicated," Davis wrote.
He said he remains committed to the team, that he?hopes they can?win a Super Bowl together and that?he'll continue training.
"...I have to worry about my future first. Most of my teammates and many players in the NFL understand that. A few don?t. Behind closed doors, they?ll say they?re all about the team and would run through a brick wall for the organization. But when you look closer, they?re doing things to contradict themselves. I can?t listen to anyone but my family and my advisors, because those are the people who are going to be there when football inevitably dumps me."
Davis currently has two years remaining on his six-year, $42.7 million deal, which is third in the league, behind Rob Gronkowski's $9 million annual salary and Jason Witten's $7.4 million annual?salary.
Earlier this month, teammate Colin Kaepernick signed a six-year contract extension worth up to $126 million. Of Kaepernick's 21 touchdown passes thrown last year, 13 came from Davis.
So perhaps Davis has a point in all this. Can you blame him for wanting a piece of the pie?
Kaepernick has?not attended the team's voluntary workouts this offseason and has already forfeited a $200,000 workout bonus. He could be fined?nearly $70,000 if he doesn?t attend the three-day minicamp, according to Eric Branch of SFGate.com.
Last year, Davis finished second among league tight ends in receiving touchdowns, reaching the Pro Bowl for the second time.

Hollings Cancer Center One of Only 68 U.S. Cancer Centers with NCI Designation and Only NCI-Designated Center in South Carolina
The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Hollings Cancer Center has been awarded a five-year renewal of its National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation, a distinction held by only 68 cancer centers in the U.S. The Hollings Cancer Center (HCC) is the only institution in South Carolina with this prestigious status.
Andrew S. Kraft, MD, Director of the Hollings Cancer Center (HCC), said this renewal affirms that MUSC/HCC researchers and physicians are leaders in discovering, developing, and delivering cutting-edge treatments based on laboratory research to patients in South Carolina and beyond. The immediate benefit to patients is increased access to early clinical trials offering promising new treatments.
"This renewal confirms that MUSC researchers and clinicians are working together as a team to make advances in the war on cancer," Dr. Kraft said. "We are grateful that this outstanding effort by so many is being recognized and supported through continued NCI Designation."
The five-year renewal is accompanied by $7.5 million in funding to sustain and grow research efforts at MUSC. The NCI awards designation and renewal based on outstanding facilities, commitment to research, leadership, and vision.
MUSC President David J. Cole, MD, hailed the renewal as affirmation of the strength of the work being done at Hollings: "It's gratifying to see the Hollings Cancer Center receive renewal of our NCI designation. Hollings continues to be at the forefront of biomedical research at MUSC, and this renewal validates the significant, ongoing and dedicated effort by Hollings scientists toward advances in cancer prevention, diagnoses and treatment, with the ultimate goal of finding cancer cures."
NCI-designated cancer centers are characterized by scientific excellence and the capability to integrate diverse research approaches that focus on cancer. They play a vital role in advancing the goal of reducing morbidity and mortality from cancer through increased clinical trials that offer patients new drugs and treatment protocols that would be unavailable to them otherwise.
When NCI Designation was initially achieved by the HCC, U.S. Senator Lindsey L. Graham called the designation a "game changer for the thousands of South Carolinians with cancer," adding "The NCI designation only comes to the best and brightest. It is a compliment to the men and women who put in countless hours at this facility and recognition that the Hollings Cancer Center is among the best of the best in cancer research."
According to the NCI, designated cancer centers are a major source of discovery of the nature of cancer and of the development of more effective approaches to cancer prevention, diagnosis, and therapy. They also deliver medical advances to patients and their families, educate healthcare professionals and the public, and reach out to underserved populations. They are characterized by strong organizational capabilities, institutional commitment, and trans-disciplinary, cancer-focused science; experienced scientific and administrative leadership; and state-of-the-art cancer research and patient care facilities.
NCI Designation is awarded for a five-year period, after which centers undergo an extensive renewal submission and examination. HCC submitted its Cancer Center Support Grant renewal to NCI in 2013, underwent a three-day site visit in September, and received official notification of renewal in late June.
Etta Pisano, MD, Vice President for Medical Affairs and Dean, College of Medicine, added, "We are very proud of our faculty and staff who serve our cancer patients and do outstanding cancer research. This renewal is a tribute to their excellence."

What, exactly is the in-town policy for use of the stop arm when picking up/dropping off students? Is it supposed to be used if the student is picked up at the curb?
- See all comments
States across the nation are designating a day this spring to tally incidents of illegal school bus passing.
The effort is the second annual nationwide count, spearheaded by the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services (NASDPTS).
Last year's inaugural survey found that more than 76,000 vehicles illegally passed school buses in a one-day snapshot. Twenty-eight states participated.
NASDPTS Executive Director Bob Riley told SBF that the association hopes to get more states involved in the count this year and to continue raising awareness about stop-arm running. Also, a few changes have been made to simplify and improve the survey.
Riley noted that the results of last year's bus-passing survey have been used in a number of ways. In Maryland, for example, the statewide count of illegal passes — more than 7,000 — helped in passing legislation that enables the state's counties to pass their own bills to allow the use of stop-arm cameras in citing violators.
"That was pretty much a direct result of the survey," Riley said.
Later in the year, the Maryland Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention announced that 46 agencies across the state would receive a total of $548,411 in grants to help in reducing the number of illegal bus-passing incidents.
Also, some of NASDPTS' nationwide statistics were recently cited by U.S. Rep Bruce Braley of Iowa, who introduced federal legislation that would require his state's new stricter stop-arm running penalties to apply to all states in the country.
Riley also said that he has gotten many calls from reporters about the nationwide survey results.
NASDPTS has asked states to conduct this year's count between March 1 and May 15. For more information, go here.

Harley-Davidson Street Glide® Special
Street Glide® Special
When it comes to stripped-down bagger style, highway comfort, modern technology and an unruly attitude, this is a state-of-the-art motorcycle.
Available Models
Control Features
Project RUSHMORE - Control: Here are some of the innovations Project RUSHMORE led to: the Reflex™ Linked Brakes with ABS, the Daymaker™ LED headlamps and fog lamps, brighter Tour-Pak® lighting, brighter turn signals, brighter brake lights, and a steering head with stiffer front forks. Locked-up tires are now history even when there's wet pavement. We've made it feel even better to lean your way through a turn. Now you can see better. And we've made you more conspicuous to the cage-driving public. Because one thing we all agree on is this: bikes that work better make riders who ride better. Take a ride. See how good you can be.
Hydraulic-Adjustable Suspension: With a hydraulic-adjustable suspension that comes standard, you can dial in your ride to accommodate heavier or lighter payloads, battle unexpected road conditions or simply set it to how you like to roll. The lighter the load, the softer you can go by decreasing the hydraulic pressure a bit, or increase the hydraulic pressure for a more firm ride. It's all about rider and passenger comfort and setting your bike to fit your taste—the easy way.
H-D® Smart Security System: The factory-installed next-generation security system features a hands-free fob that automatically arms and disarms the vehicle's electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the bike. Stick the fob on your ignition key ring and let it do all the work. It's this attention to detail and security that make Harley-Davidson® motorcycles unique.
Brembo® Brakes: Confidence. Control. High-performance dual disc Brembo brakes offer consistent stopping power at all speeds. The 4-piston front and rear caliper with dual front rotor brake system is state of the art and top of the line. It's just another way The Motor Company puts a high level of detail into their bikes to give you peace of mind throughout your journey.
Reflex Linked Brakes with Anti-Lock Braking System: No doubt about it, there are times when you need to haul things down in a hurry. And you don't get to pick those times. Or decide whether or not they occur when you're on a flat, smooth, dry, perfect stretch of pavement. That's why our touring models feature the Reflex Linked Brakes with ABS. ABS turns a locked-up front wheel or a rear wheel skid into a relic from riding's history. And the front and rear brakes are electronically linked to provide exactly the right amount of brake to each tire no matter what the road condition is. No matter how good you are, this will make you a better rider.
Ergonomically Designed Hand Controls: It's hard to enjoy the ride or keep your eyes focused on what's coming down the road when you're fussing and bothering with the switches on your handlebar. So when we built the Project RUSHMORE motorcycles, we worked over the hand controls on our touring bikes with as much passion as we worked over our engine. We made the shape more ergonomic and located and angled them to fall right under your thumbs. We added left-hand cruise for easy activation, toggle switches to control infotainment functions, and an easily locatable trigger switch to control and scan through functional readouts. And we improved the feel to give you a confidence-inspiring click at every push of a button. Even the dash panel switch got better. And it's all pre-wired for parts and accessories, which even lets you customize with less fuss and bother.
Steering Head and Front Forks: Whether it's a big sweeping curve or a set of tight turns, a Project RUSHMORE motorcycle feels rock-solid in the corners. We stiffened up the front end, increased the fork diameter to 49 mm (an increase of 18%) and re-tuned the damping for a smoother ride. The responsiveness is dialed in.
Dunlop® Multi-Tread™ Tires: The 180 mm back tire is engineered to do more than fill out the rear fender and put a bigger patch of rubber on the road. Dunlop Multi-Tread technology uses harder compounds at the center and softer on the sides for a tire that still knows how to knuckle down on corners. Perfect for making this bike agile on every curvy stretch of road. And the way it feels going through an abrupt off-camber turn will put a grin on your face that'll last to the next state line.
Dual Halogen Headlight: When the sun goes low, the amount of road you have your eyes trained on stays high. Boasting a higher quality of light than previous models courtesy of a darkness-defying 986 lumens, the dual halogen headlight ensures you'll have no trouble seeing everything out there that needs to be seen.
Six-Speed Cruise Drive® Transmission: You want a ride that rumbles—not begs for mercy—when you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive transmission provides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. And the Isolated Drive System makes acceleration flow in a smooth, steady stream from your wrist right down to the pavement. It's a rare ride when a bike responds like this, and a low growl goes a long way when you're opening up the road ahead.
Twin Cam 103™ Engine Heritage: The knowledge of what makes an engine truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it was put to good use when we created the Twin Cam 103 engine. We sweated bullets perfecting every cubic inch, pushing design and technology forward. And we did it all without compromising one bit of Harley-Davidson's unique styling. Evolved, yet carrying on the legacy of the Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution® and Twin Cam 88® and Twin Cam 96™ engines that came before. The performance and durability are a direct result of the untold miles logged on the V-twin since 1909 and the proud heritage that comes from a century's worth of commitment to life on two wheels.
Twin Cam 103 Engine Innovation: Fire up the Twin Cam 103 engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed. Thanks to the lightweight piston design, delivery of the added power is more refined than ever. Then put your foot on the shifter and feel how the engine and Six-Speed Cruise Drive transmission were designed to work together. Six speeds. A strong driveline and strong internal parts. Low routine maintenance. And a low cruising RPM couldn't feel better.
Project RUSHMORE - Engine: As every rider knows, the engine is at the heart of the experience of riding a motorcycle. The amount of torque and horsepower it delivers over the RPM range is in direct proportion to the feeling it gives you when you roll on the throttle. We know what riders want from a motorcycle engine because we've been building them for 110 years. Project RUSHMORE gave us the opportunity to dial it in just right. We conducted thousands of road tests with real riders giving us feedback to build the next iteration of the legendary Harley-Davidson engine. The consensus was: We want more. More low-end torque, more passing power, more perfection in the tone of the exhaust note, more of the feeling we ride a motorcycle for. And last year, we unveiled the engines that deliver it. This is the next level of Harley-Davidson V-twin engine. And it proves, once and for all, the customer is always right.
High Output Twin Cam 103 Engine: Asking riders if they'd like more passing power is like asking them "Would you like more beer in the pitcher?" when they've reached their final destination at the end of a long, dusty ride. Everybody wants it, and the High Output Twin Cam 103 engine is 103 cubic inches of Harley-Davidson V-twin you can rely on to deliver it. The airbox delivers increased intake airflow and the cam optimizes phase and duration. The result: better low-end torque and faster 60 to 80 mph 5th gear roll-on to get you around that 18-wheeler. In the tradition of the Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution Twin Cam 88 and Twin Cam 96 engines that came before it, the High Output Twin Cam 103 engine is raising the bar for the feeling an engine delivers to the rider. There's a reason we're called the Harley-Davidson Motor Company. Once you send some fuel to this engine, you'll have no doubt whose it is.
Feel Features
Project RUSHMORE - Comfort: We dialed in the comfort of our machines the hard way: over thousands of miles in all kinds of riding conditions on every kind of street, road and highway ever laid down in pavement. Experienced riders putting in long hours in the saddle and giving us feedback on every aspect that contributes to comfort on the road. Airflow, heat management, seat textures, legroom and hand controls all went under the hard microscope of the road and got tested and re-tested by real riders and worked and re-worked by us until we were satisfied we had built the most comfortable machines on the road. We all want to go farther, and when you're more comfortable in the saddle, you can.
Wide Set Handlebar: Classic style and maximum comfort. That's the perfect balance of the wide set handlebars that come standard on the Street Glide® Special model. They're designed to keep you comfortably propped in a commanding position while making sure your neck muscles stay calm and relaxed mile after mile, state after state. Durable stainless steel ensures the structural rigidity you expect from a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with the deep, lustrous finish you desire.
Standard Cruise Control: Installing cruise control is standard operating procedure on the touring models because riding long stretches of unbroken highway is standard operating procedure among touring riders. Electronic throttle control means no cable cluttering up your handlebar. And the switches are placed where you can easily dial in your speed with your left thumb, give the wrist a break, and keep hauling on down the road.
Fairing Reduces Head Buffeting: This is what the science of cheating the wind involves at Harley-Davidson now: fluid mechanics, algorithms, high-speed super computers and thousands upon thousands of wind-tunnel tests with riders in the saddle telling us how it feels. And that's before we take it out on the road for thousands of miles of real world wind gusts and every form of rain a cloud can spit out. The result: a Batwing fairing that delivers smoother air flow and reduced head buffeting. Most of it thanks to the pressure-equalizing duct on the front. It opens and closes with one touch of a button. The feeling of being in the wind just got even better.
Two-Up Seating: Modern styling and comfort that doesn't sacrifice an ounce of nostalgic style: this ultimate touring saddle features a sculpted seat with a deeper contoured bucket and narrower neck, to relieve pressure on your thighs, while providing more back support and comfort for a wide variety of rider sizes. And the lower seat height—26.1 inches to be exact—puts your feet closer to the road to enhance your confidence. Additionally, the leather trim and premium stitching accentuate the advanced ergonomics while giving the seat that sharp detail you only find on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. It's science in service of comfort, and your way to beat fatigue over the long haul.
High Output Accessory Connector: Touring means maximum comfort in all conditions and the capacity to add whatever enhances and personalizes your ride. The high output charging system provides an electrical capacity robust enough for your add-ons: heated vests, heated seats, heated handgrips, lights to showcase the engine, you name it. So if you're hell-bent on 2-wheeling it, we make sure you've got the juice to do it your way.
Project RUSHMORE - Convenience: If you want the ride to be truly epic, you have to sweat bullets to make the little things work exactly right. This is what Project RUSHMORE was all about. Now you have saddlebags that can be easily opened with one hand. Compartments that open with one touch. And we've increased the storage space on these machines without ruining the sleek, road-eating look of the bike. It all adds up to hundreds of little moments where things just click conveniently into place. Because there can be no imperfections in the quest for the perfect ride.
One-Touch Design Philosophy: Here's the rule we laid down for every compartment cover and saddlebag lid on our touring line: if it doesn't open with the single touch of a button or one hand, while wearing gloves, it doesn't go on the motorcycle. Because in all our conversations with riders, we've never encountered a single individual who wanted to have to put something on the ground before he could store it in a saddlebag.
Saddlebag Design: Don't let the sleek look of these saddlebags deceive you. The look is tight on the outside, but things are roomy on the inside. You want stuffability and these deliver bigger than ever. The hinges are simple and clean and the lids open with one touch of one hand. The lock is tight and integrated into the latch where you can put the key in without the danger of scratching your premium paint. Welcome to the next level of the bagger.
One-Touch Fuel Door: One button, one touch, fuel door open. Any questions?
Standard Battery Charging Harness: No question a battery charging harness is a must-have on a motorcycle. Now it's standard. So you don't have to waste even the ten minutes it takes to install one on some sunny Saturday when you could be riding.
Infotainment Features
Boom!™ Box 6.5GT Radio: Let's start with this. The Boom! Box 6.5GT Radio puts out 75 watts per channel at 1% distortion and features a factory-tuned, optimized equalizer that pumps out more power and can be played louder while maintaining the clarity of your sound. And the speed tuning system delivers more than just volume changes at different speeds. It changes the level of bass and treble to dial in the best sound, whether you're running at a stately pace down the strip or going hell for leather down an open stretch of road. How do you like the sound of a Harley® motorcycle?
6.5-Inch Full-Color Touch Screen Display: This 6.5-inch full-color touch screen puts all your information in front of you bigger than ever. Modern graphics, colors you can dial in, and auto and manual dim. Designed to sit stylishly inside your fairing, it takes screen technology to an eye-popping level of Harley-Davidson functionality. This is more than you expect, but when you're going all the way, it's everything you deserve.
Jukebox with USB Port for iPod / iPhone: The Jukebox opens with one touch of a button and includes a USB connection which accepts your iPhone, iTouch, non-iPod imitators, and SD card and other USB compatible devices. Pop it open, plug in and your device becomes a part of your motorcycle. Ready to be operated by voice command or hand controls.
Voice Recognition, Bluetooth: The Boom! Box 6.5GT gives you voice recognition for hands-free operation of your mobile phone, navigation system and music. It's also Bluetooth capable. Whatever you want, just say the word. Whether it's directions to the next gas station, a call back to the office you're not at today or a song that fits the stretch of road you're on, it'll be served up without missing a beat.
Ready for Your Upgrades: The Boom! Box 6.5GT was built with your personal touches in mind. You can integrate P & A satellite radio right into the vehicle radio with no external mounting and control it through the hand controls. Additional satellite services such as weather and traffic can be added and overplayed on the GPS maps. You can even download map upgrades and additional functions. The only question is, how far do you want to go?
5.25-Inch Speakers: The sound delivered to your ride comes from 5.25-inch speakers mounted securely in sealed and tuned enclosed speaker housings.
Style Features
Project RUSHMORE - Styling: Project RUSHMORE is the journey we set out on to take our touring motorcycles to places never imagined before – to turn all the possibilities for what a motorcycle can be now into true Milwaukee steel. We did it our way, as we've always done. As riders. Riding with other riders. Thousands of hours, countless road tests, millions of miles. Looking for the technology and innovations that truly make the ride better. We went over the bike fender tip to fender tip. Making it work better. Making it look sleeker. Modern. Clean. Tight. Let your eye take the journey over the machine. This is classic Harley-Davidson style and a sleek, modern look at the exact same time. At Harley-Davidson, form has always followed function. And both have always reported to emotion. Now we're just doing it on a completely different level.
Classic Fuel Tank: Part of the unmistakable style of the Harley-Davidson Street Glide motorcycle is plenty of room for showing off your paint. This classically styled, bold 6-gallon fuel tank doesn't just give you a bigger canvas for premium or custom paint; it holds 6 gallons of go so you can eat up a lot more road between pit stops. We know fuel economy is important—but so is style. Sharp, eye-catching colors and precision-crafted Harley-Davidson tank medallions complete the unique look of this tough bagger.
Custom Rear Taillight and Fascia: We keep the back end clean and no-nonsense with tri-line fender lights—a brilliant, unique taillight as the centerpiece—plus ground effects and a low mounted license plate with LED lighting for crisp visibility and style. This completes the custom, one-of-a-kind look.
Bullet Turn Signals: We went end to end and top to bottom to give the Harley-Davidson Touring lineup the clean, tight, sharp, iconic look and feel that only befits the next generation of our motorcycles. The finishing touch – bullet turn signals. Sleek and modern, yet a timeless classic.
Inner Fairing Design: Put your eye to the inner fairing of the Street Glide Special motorcycle. There's a bigger display screen (see the whole story in the infotainment section). Check out the gauges: you'll notice a 10% larger viewing area, with wider and taller numbers. The information gets bigger and better too. There's a gear indicator for all six gears and the display area, which can now be operated by an extremely convenient trigger switch, puts more information at your fingertips. The temperature and fuel gauge are larger too. When you're on the road, one quick glance tells you everything you need to know.
Tank and Fender Badges: This isn't just a motorcycle. It's a work of art, born out of passion, creativity and long days, late nights and refusing to be satisfied until every detail was perfect. When we added the signature, we did it with metal. Nothing else would be right on this masterpiece.
Gloss Black Inner Fairing: A premium gloss black finish comes standard on the Street Glide Special motorcycle. It's there because on a bike like this one, you can't help but go the extra mile.
19-Inch Enforcer Front Wheel: There's a 19-inch Enforcer front wheel leading the way on the Street Glide Special motorcycle and a 16-inch Enforcer to match in the rear. The brake rotors have been designed to show off more of the premium custom look of the wheels. If you're going to roll on two wheels, do it with class.
Color-Matched Fairing Skirt: It wouldn't be a Harley-Davidson motorcycle if we didn't sweat the details. Note the color-matched fairing skirt on the Street Glide Special motorcycle this year. It's that little bit of extra attention in the design studio that gets a little bit of extra respect on the street.
Airbox and Insert: Our design philosophy can be summed up pretty simply: form follows function, but both report to emotion. This airbox is a prime example of that. Function? It lets the engine breathe better for more power, but it's also designed to provide better airflow around the rider. Form? The design of the insert matches the tank panel. Emotion? That's the part you feel when you look at it sitting right at the center of your V-twin engine.
Fairing, Saddlebag and Front Fender Styling: Let's start with this: when you see the iconic shape of a Harley-Davidson Street Glide Batwing fairing coming at you down the road, it leaves no question that you're looking at a machine born in Milwaukee and built for gigantic miles of road. But this is about moving forward. How do you maintain that iconic shape, yet give it a sleeker, more progressive style? The answer is right here. This Batwing fairing gives you less head buffeting (see comfort section for the full story on that) but also the look that instantly announces "Hey, this is a HARLEY-DAVIDSON motorcycle." Of course, we didn't stop at the fairing. The saddlebags got a sleeker look to match. And we worked over the front fender, too – with a clean look that's cut back to expose more of the wheel and tire. It all comes together for a look that's sleek and modern, yet instantly familiar. Welcome to the next generation of Harley-Davidson touring motorcycles.
Pure Harley-Davidson Styling: Feast your eyes on the Twin Cam 103 engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find from any other motorcycle company. Black powder-coated heads and cylinders are highlighted by machined cooling fin tips and chrome rocker covers. It's a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Dripping with power. From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers—the Twin Cam 103 engine makes an ironclad statement about holding on to what's right and staying true to what satisfies.
