Kelly Clark has been there before. She has a slew of Winter X Games medals. She's an Olympic champion (2002). She's won the World Snowboard Tour.
What Clark did on Saturday night had a little to with a win.
Having already locked up another Women's Snowboard Superpipe gold medal, Clark had a free pass for her final run. She decided to push women's snowboarding to the next level.
On her third air of the run, she landed the first 1080 in competition ever.
It was executed with strength and grace, like she had done it a thousand times before.
She was mauled by her fellow competitors after making the historic feat. Competitors who now know they need the 1080 to keep up with Clark.
Kaitlyn Farrington took the silver medal and Elena Hight earned the bronze.
WInter X Games 15: Kelly Clark and Winners Of Day 3
By Jerome Persaud ,
Kelly Clark has been there before. She has a slew of Winter X Games medals. She's an Olympic champion (2002). She's won the World Snowboard Tour.
Nick Baumgartner might the sturdiest, toughest and craziest dude in Aspen right now.
Two weeks ago, he broke his collarbone. Then it was repaired with 15 screws and a plate. Then he grabbed his snowboard and went to the mountain.
Baumgartner's first ever WX podium was a golden one, in the Men's Snowboarder X. The multi-sport athlete let out a guttural scream at the bottom of the hill and then headed over to hug his son.
The 210-pound American lead wire-to-wire, breaking the five-year run of wins by Nate Holland, who finished third.
Canadian Kevin Hill's silver medal was his best ever WX finish.
The Women's Snowboarder X Final was a sloppy one. Early falls, emergency swerves and troubles through the rollers defined the race.
Lindsey Jacobellis managed to avoid the stumbles of her competition. She built a big lead and cruised to an easy victory, her fourth gold medal in a row at WX.
She tweeted about her simple and nice victory celebration, "About to go have a celebratory meal with amie and slice - sushi yeah."
The silver medal went to Callan Chythlook-Sifsof. The first for the Alaska native. The bronze was awarded to Frenchwoman and Olympic medallist Deborah Anthonioz.
Sammy Carlson's first run was the one to push him to the gold medal. He's been on the podium before, but this was his first WX win, scoring a 93.33.
He executed his airs supremely well, but it was his tricking on the rails that made the difference. He rode 450 to 630 on the rainbow rail and included a double-hand-tap to the joystick.
Russ Henshaw was the only Australian in the field. His 90.66 first run was good enough to get him a Men's Ski Slopestyle silver medal.
Norwegian Andreas Hatvelt wowed with his third run, scoring a 90.00. He sneaked in a bronze medal.
A big crowd showed up to watch the first ever Men's Snowboard Street competition at WX.
They were treated to a Canadian sweep of the podium. Nic Sauve easily won gold with his combined score of 85. Louis-Felix Paradis grabbed silver with a 68. Simon Chamberlain scooped the bronze with a score of 64.
The field was filled with WX rookies, as the competition attempts to widen it's reach. Many of the athletes spend much of their time making videos. But they may spend more time focusing on competition now that the money and prestige of WX is affiliated.
It's an event that should improve over time. The site was poorly lit and wasn't TV-friendly at all. As WX feels this out, the event will grow.
The course featured different types of street-style grinds, including a stair-rail, a wide pipe and a wide concrete edge.
Alex Schlopy may be a rookie, but he sure isn't new to the mountain. His mother is Holly Flanders, an Olympian and World Cup downhiller.
The 18-year-old American showed the free mind of youth by attempting a trick he's never done. He pulled off a double-cork 16 after watching other competitors do it. He added a double-cork 14.
The stoked Schlopy won the Men's Ski Big Air with a score of 92.
Last year's gold medallist Bobby Brown battled through injury to capture the silver medal, scoring 89.
Sammy Carlson made it two medals on the day as he scored 87 and grabbed bronze.

ZTO's unusual VIE
This is a guest post by Fredrik Öqvist , one of my former students who remains active in this field. Mr. Oqvist can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
VIE structures still appear to be very common among the new Chinese IPOs in the US. They've been around for a good while now so investors should be fairly well informed about what they are and how they operate. At this point in time the general set-up has been largely standardized, although not always in ways that I like, but I found an interesting quirk in one of the recent structures.
ZTO (IPO pending) is a company that sits on the delivery side of China's rising ecommerce tide. As such it sees ideally placed to see strong growth on the back of expressed government support for increased consumption among the general populace. It recently filed to list in the US, and due to regulations in the delivery industry it set up a VIE structure to be able to list the company.
For those that do not know a VIE structure is basically a set of contracts drafted to mimic ownership and allow a listed entity to consolidate the financials of the contractually controlled VIE. In order to meet the requirements for consolidation the listed entity should be able to control the VIE, and also bear the majority of the risks and rewards from the company's operations.
Attacking shorts
Hong Kong's Market Misconduct Tribunal has punished Andrew Left of Citron for market manipulation in connection with his short report on China Evergrande. Left had alleged that the company was insolvent and had engaged in fraud.
The Tribunal banned Left from trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for five years and ordered him to turn over the HK$ 1.6 million he made by shorting the stock. He was also given a cease and desist order that warns he could face criminal charges if he does it again.
Short sellers play an important role in financial markets. I liken them to the hyenas of the markets, preying on the sick and weak, while improving the overall health of the herd. They are also the buyers of last resort, providing liquidity to investors in troubled stocks as they cover positions.
The action against Left follows the eviction of an analyst with a sell recommendation from a company briefing.
I have long argued that many short sellers use the "kitchen sink" approach to their research – throwing many unsupported allegations at companies in hopes that something sticks. Often we have seen short seller attacks that fail to prove accurate, yet other problems arise during the investigation that bring down the company. Some attacks fail to be proven, often leading to depressed stock prices. Long investors are particularly frustrated in these situations, since the short sellers usually profit from unproved allegations, yet long investors often pay a long term price.
My impaired Mobike
I just love new OTO (online to offline) applications, so I was delighted when Shanghai startup Mobike came to Beijing earlier this year.
Mobike offers bike rentals, something I can use to avoid Beijing's heavy traffic. Mobike's app opens to a map that shows me the nearest bikes to me, usually only hundred meters or so away. I can then reserve the bike, follow the map to find it, scan a QR code on the bike and the bike unlocks itself. When I am finished with it I park it anywhere I wish, push a switch to lock it, and get charged 1 yuan per half hour – essentially free. I paid a depost of 299 yuan using my Wechat pay account – another amazing app.
Mobike as 10,000 bikes in Shanghai and 3,000 in Beijing and is adding hundreds every day. I have not had a problem finding one in Beijing, although they are scarce during rush hour.
Mobike is VC funded, and the business model makes no sense to me. Each bike reportedly costs 3000 RMB – they are quite sturdy and some complain about the weight and lack of adjustability. At that cost it is estimated that it will take 25 months to recover the cost of each bike if each does four trips a day. That creates an interesting accounting problem. It appears the bikes are impaired as soon as Mobike puts them into service, necessitating a writedown, because the expected discounted future cash flows are significantly lower than the cost to build them.
Regulatory reform in Hong Kong
There is a turf battle between the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in Hong Kong and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEx) over who should regulate new listings in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is somewhat unusual since regulation of listings and auditors has been delegated to the regulated, a form of regulatory capture. The HKEx regulates listed companies, with the Hong Kong Institute of CPAs (HKICPAs) regulating auditors, leaving government regulators in a supporting role. Unsurprising, self-regulation rarely works, since market participants rarely take actions against themselves.
Self-regulation is usually the preference of the regulated professions because professionals get the benefits of regulation but control any disadvantages of regulation. Professionals always seek closure – to limit market access to newcomers. In Hong Kong, CPAs must be licensed by the HKICPAs, meaning that only members can provide audit services. Yet while limiting market access and competition, the HKICPAs has done a pathetic job regulating its members. Fines, when they happen, are insignificant and even serious violations by the Big Four get only a slap on the wrist.
Regulatory equivalency - bad for investors
China has long argued that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) should rely on Chinese regulators to examine the work of Chinese accounting firms that are also subject to US inspection under Sarbanes-Oxley. This concept is known as regulatory equivalency, where a regulator is to consider the work of a foreign regulator as the equivalent of doing it itself. The PCAOB has so far refused to accept the concept of regulatory equivalency, insisting instead on at least joint inspections of foreign accounting firms together with local regulators. That may change.
Shaswat Das, an attorney with Hunton & Williams, has noted an obscure reference in a recent European Union (EU) directive that indicates the EU wants to move away from joint inspections to the US accepting regulatory equivalency. Shas observes that "it now appears that the PCAOB (with the SEC's concurrence) has determined to proceed along a path of full, mutual reliance that may result in very few joint inspections conducted by the PCAOB in the EU during the coming years – raising questions about the continued efficacy of the PCAOB's international inspections program."
Avoiding frauditors
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) will be requiring audit firms to disclose the names of audit partners on audits they complete. There is also a requirement to disclose whether other audit firms have participated in the audit.
The rule is effective for audits completed after January 31, 2017. That means it will not be possible to identify the engagement partner on the many notorious audit failures that have happened in recent years among US-listed Chinese companies, since the information will be prospective only. Nevertheless, this is a good step forward, and will help to protect investors in the future.
The information is not required to be included in the company's annual filings. Instead, the audit firm makes a separate filing with the PCAOB that will be available in a searchable database. I think companies should voluntarily disclose the name of their audit partner in their annual report to make this process easier for investors.
While auditor rotation is not required in the US (it is required for state owned enterprises in China), the audit partner on US listed companies must be rotated every five years. Audit committees should carefully vet proposed audit partners and ask direct questions about prior engagements the partner has been associated with. I know some large US-listed Chinese companies have rejected proposed audit partners because they were associated with frauds in the past.
PCAOB bans auditor of last resort
On May 19, the Public Company Accounting Board revoked the PCAOB registration of Hong Kong CPA firm AWC (CPA) Limited (AWC), formerly known as Albert Wong & Company. AWC has long been one of the auditors of last resort for Chinese companies listed in the United States, particularly those that came to market through reverse mergers.
The client that finally brought down AWC was Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (Kandi). Kandi is a Chinese electric vehicle company that was still using AWC as auditor for 2015.
Here is a list of AWC's public companies from its website:
1. Kandi Technologies, Corp. (NASDAQ trading code KNDI), a motor vehicle producer in China.
2. QKL Stores Inc. (NASDAQ trading code QKLS), a supermarket chain store in China.
3. Shengkai Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ trading code VALV), a high tech manufacturer in China.
4. Dragon Bright Mintai Botanical Technology (Cayman) Ltd. (NASDAQ trading code DGBMF), a wood products company in China.
5. ACL Semiconductors Inc. (OTCBB trading code ACLO), a semiconductor trader in H.K.
BABA v the SEC
Yesterday, Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) filed its annual report on Form 20F with the SEC. Included in the report was a disclosure of an SEC investigation into BABA's accounting. BABA is down over 7% today on a day when the market is up triple digits. This is the disclosure that appears to have hammered the stock:
Earlier this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, informed us that it was initiating an investigation into whether there have been any violations of the federal securities laws. The SEC has requested that we voluntarily provide it with documents and information relating to, among other things: our consolidation policies and practices (including our accounting for Cainiao Network as an equity method investee), our policies and practices applicable to related party transactions in general, and our reporting of operating data from Singles Day. We are voluntarily disclosing this SEC request for information and cooperating with the SEC and, through our legal counsel, have been providing the SEC with requested documents and information. The SEC advised us that the initiation of a request for information should not be construed as an indication by the SEC or its staff that any violation of the federal securities laws has occurred. This matter is ongoing, and, as with any regulatory proceeding, we cannot predict when it will be concluded.
New PCAOB standard
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has proposed new auditing standards that will significantly affect audits of US listed Chinese companies. The proposed standards address two of the problems with audits of US listed Chinese companies.
The first problem relates to the Big Four in Hong Kong signing off on audits that are mostly or completely done by the China member firm. I have called that practice consumer fraud – no different than a Wenzhou shirt maker sewing a made in Italy label on a garment. This practice has caused problems – most notably the case of Standard Water where EY Hong Kong signed off on accounts yet was unable to turn over working papers to SFC when demanded because it actually did not do the work. There is also the problem of some firms having their Hong Kong affiliate sign off US listings even where the work is done by the mainland firm.
The proposed standard makes it clear that, to act as lead auditor, an audit firm must itself audit a meaningful portion of the financial statements. That will end many of the practices currently used by the Big Four in Hong Kong where the report is issued on Hong Kong letterhead despite most or all of the audit being done by the mainland affiliate. It also creates a conflict on many entities listed both in the US and in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE) generally requires that Hong Kong listed companies be signed off by a Hong Kong CPA firm, not its mainland affiliate. But as we learned in Standard Water, these audits are not necessarily done by the Hong Kong CPA firm, but rather by its mainland affiliate. Hong Kong authorities have tolerated this practice despite the reality that it violates ISA 600, presumably because the practice favors Hong Kong CPA firms. For example, PetroChina, listed in Hong Kong, New York, and Shanghai, has KPMG Hong Kong sign its accounts filed with both Hong Kong and the US. The new rules will require KPMG Hong Kong to have audited a meaningful portion of the financial statements itself, rather than relying on its China member firm. The right answer here is to recognize the reality of the situation, and have KPMG's China member firm sign the report if it is doing the work, although that may require a change in HKSE rules.
Shooting the angles
Dan David of GeoInvesting has an interesting post today about how the SEC has done an excellent job protecting Chinese investors who have been ripped off in EB-5 investor scams. The EB-5 program offers green cards to foreigners who make job creating investments in the US. It is really a process of selling green cards to wealthy foreigners, most of whom are Chinese. Even Donald Trump has financed real estate projects with funds obtained from Chinese investors under the EB-5 program.
David points out that while the SEC has succeeded in helping Chinese investors get back most of their money from EB-5 scams, it has done very little to help US investors get money back from scams by US listed Chinese companies.
As David points out in his post, the only CEO to be jailed for defrauding US investors was Dickson Lee of L&L Energy. Lee, however, was a US citizen and was arrested on US soil, so Chinese authorities could not protect him.
Perhaps the most egregious case was Ming Zhao of Puda Coal, who faces a $250 million judgment from the SEC for ripping off U.S. shareholders. But Chinese authorities have not helped the SEC to enforce the judgment, and instead elevated Ming Zhao to the Eleventh Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Consultative Congress. I guess he is viewed as a model comrade.
Restricted cash
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) is a group of accounting experts who help the FASB with complex accounting issues. The EITF has been working on a project to deal with diversity in the balance sheet presentation and cash flow classification of changes in restricted cash – including transfers between restricted cash and unrestricted cash, as well as direct changes in restricted cash (for example, when disbursements occur directly from restricted cash). Some believe that this diversity is also attributed to the lack of definition of restricted cash in U.S. GAAP.
In earlier meetings, most Task Force members agreed that restricted cash should be defined based on there being contractual or legal restrictions and not extended to self-designations by management. Some Task Force members preferred narrowing the definition to only cash that is controlled by another party, such as where a trustee or escrow agent restricts access to the cash. However, a majority of Task Force members wanted to also include situations where cash access is limited only through some type of economic penalty for failure to comply with the legal or contractual restrictions.
Another VIE collapse
Another VIE arrangement appears to be collapsing. Nutrastar International Inc. (OTC BB: NUIN) (Nutrastar) was listed in the US through a reverse merger. Nutrastar's primary product is cordyceps militaris, a species of parasitic fungus used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Nutrastar reports $139 million of cash and only $5 million of debt, yet has a market capitalization of only $6 million. We have learned that sometimes Chinese companies do not have the cash they report, and auditors have often been duped on this. In this case, the problem seems to be that the public company, incorporated in the US, cannot access the cash (even if it exists) because it is in a VIE.
Nutrastar's financial statements omit required disclosures of the assets of the VIE. The SEC should require the company to provide these disclosures and discipline the auditor for not requiring them. Nevertheless, we can tell from the separate financial statements of the parent that the cash is likely in the VIE, and in RMB, not US dollars.
CSX deal a threat to investors
The Chicago Stock Exchange Inc (CSX) announced its planned sale to an investor group lead by China's Chongqing Casin Enterprise Group.
The 134-year old bourse plans to seek approval to list companies that want to access the capital markets but may not meet the standards of Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
The plan appears similar to one earlier announced by former Lehman Bros. CEO Dick Fuld, the so-called "Gorilla of Wall Street", to reopen the National Stock Exchange (NSX). NSX recently received permission to restart trading operations.
US markets, particularly NASDAQ and the NYSE were until recently the preferred listing venues for privately owned Chinese companies. US exchanges were preferred over Chinese exchanges because they provided greater regulatory flexibility and good valuations. Consequentially, hundreds of Chinese companies sought listings in the US, many of which came to market as reverse mergers that were lightly regulated. Many of these listings collapsed in a wave of accounting frauds, and NASDAQ and the NYSE tightened listing requirements in a way that stopped the use of reverse mergers.
PCAOB bans PKF
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) has censured PKF Hong Kong and revoked its registration. That means that PKF Hong Kong can no longer audit US listed companies. Three of its partners have also been banned from working for PCAOB registered firms. PKF has a small share of US listed Chinese companies so the action will likely have little effect on the market. All PKF Hong Kong US listed clients need a new auditor.
On January 9, 2014 the PCAOB issued an order of formal investigation of PKF's audits of an unnamed client (PKF had resigned that account a year earlier). In early April 2015 the PCAOB, pursuant to an Accounting Board Demand, insisted that PKF make available people to testify about the audits. PKF refused, saying Chinese law forbid them from doing so, and insisted that the PCAOB go through the enforcement cooperation MOU with the CSRC. The PCAOB argued that it is not bound to go through the MOU but must follow US law.
I believe this action sends a strong signal to Chinese authorities that the PCAOB is willing to deregister accounting firms that do not cooperate with it. I have heard that the PCAOB has issued an Accounting Board Demand, or something similar to it, to the China Big Four firms in December. I do not expect the firms will comply with the demand, setting up a scenario similar to PKF. If the PCAOB follows a timetable similar to the PKF case, it suggests that a disciplinary action might take place this coming summer, assuming that the PCAOB and Chinese regulators are unable to reach an agreement on inspections.
PCAOB should follow the lead
I previously wrote about how Bank of China's refusal to turn over customer bank records in a case involving counterfeiters is similar to the Big Four accounting firms refusing to submit to PCAOB inspections. Both situations involve Chinese firms refusing to comply with US law citing conflicting Chinese laws.
The judge in the Bank of China case was unmoved by arguments that the bank could not turn over documents because Chinese law forbids doing so. He has now imposed a $50,000 a day fine against the Bank of China. The Bank of China has appealed. The judge has done exactly what the PCAOB should do.
Fines at $50,000 per day amount to $18,250,000 per year. In 2012, PwC China (the largest of the Big Four in China) earned $74 million from auditing US listed Chinese companies. Obviously they can afford the fine, although it would likely make this work unprofitable for them. What it would do is resolve the issue. The Big Four would either get out of the market or convince Chinese regulators to find a compromise. I expect the latter.
Auditor independence and guanxi
An interesting academic paper was recently published concerning auditor independence in China. Among other things, the paper reported an experiment as to the effect of guanxi on auditor independence. They study found that auditors with a close bond (guanxi) with managers were less likely to recommend adjustments to stop earnings management.
Guanxi refers to the network(s) of existing informal relationships and favor exchanges that dominate all business and social activity in China. While the social capital created from reciprocal relationships is common in all societies, the Chinese really take it to an art form, and many Chinese seem to spend their entire lives building a guanxi network that they can call on when they need to get something done.
Auditors are not immune to the pressures of culture. The authors observe that "Chinese auditors are entrenched in the guanxi culture and psychologically bonded to their clients. This psychological tie created by guanxi leads auditors to trust their clients and act as advocates for the client." That is not the way auditors are supposed to behave. Auditors are supposed to be independent of management. The presence of guanxi undermines independence and destroys the credibility of audits. The authors say "the strong psychological bond makes it difficult for Chinese auditors to distance themselves from managers and maintain independence in mind during the audit work."
Chinese accounting standards and IFRS
A joint statement was issued this week by the Ministry of Finance and the IFRS Foundation) about convergence of Chinese Accounting Standards (CAS) with International Financial Accounting Standards (IFRS). Both parties agreed that a single set of high quality global accounting standards is a good idea.
On November 25, 2005, Sir David Tweedie of the International Accounting Standards Board signed a memorandum with the Ministry of Finance declaring that CAS had substantially converged with IFRS. The agreement was premature in my view since several significant differences remained, but the political pressure on Tweedie to bring China into the IFRS fold was immense. In 2006, China launch a successful initiative to amend IFRS related party disclosure rules to exclude companies under state ownership, effectively converging IFRS with CAS on this point. In 2009, China announced it would fully converge CAS with IFRS by 2011 in accordance with a G20 agreement related to the financial crisis. It didn't happen. But the Tweedie agreement was sufficient for China to get Hong Kong to accept CAS financial statements for Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong.
EY loses on state secrets
Ernst and Young (EY) Hong Kong lost an important case in Hong Kong that may have widespread impact on the profession and the securities markets.
The South China Morning Post reports that the Court of First Instance on Friday rejected EY's plea that it could not hand over to the Securities and Futures Commission the auditors' working papers relating to mainland listing candidate Standard Water as they constituted a "state secret".
This case was particularly embarrassing for EY, since its Hong Kong affiliate served as accountant of record for Standard Water's proposed IPO, despite doing nearly no audit work. Instead, the audit was done by EY's mainland affiliate. When SFC asked to see the working papers, EY said they did not have them – a violation in itself, and that its mainland affiliate, EY Hua Ming, had refused to turn them over citing state secrets. EY was finally cornered in Court and had to admit they actually had the work papers on a computer that had been brought to Hong Kong, but said that China's state secrets laws prohibited them from turning the papers over to SFC.
Gucci and the PCAOB
A new front has opened in the dispute between China and the United States over audit regulation. China has blocked the PCOAB from required inspections of auditors of U.S. listed Chinese companies based on arguments of state secrecy and national sovereignty. Chinese regulators have argued that they cannot allow the inspections of audits where the working papers might include state secrets. An attempt to set up a pilot program apparently fell apart when U.S. and Chinese negotiators were unable to agree on which companies could be excluded from an inspection program. PCAOB Chairman James Doty in remarks to the Standing Advisory Group of the PCAOB suggested that the problem is the myriad of Chinese bureaus that have a say in the matter.
The new front is in banking. Kering SA, owner of the Gucci brand, has sued counterfeiters in U.S. courts and has issued subpoenas to the Bank of China for information about transactions of the counterfeiters. Despite orders from a federal judge, the Bank of China has refused to turn over the information, saying that to do so would violate Chinese law.
Destroyers and the PCAOB
Bloomberg reported this week that a final agreement between the PCAOB and Chinese regulators over inspections of Chinese audit firms has fallen through. The article says that the Chinese had so narrowed the terms of inspections that the PCAOB decided it was not worth pursuing the deal.
The PCAOB is the regulator of accounting firms that audit US listed companies, and its most important function is to periodically inspect the accounting firms to make certain that they are following US auditing standards. China has not allowed the PCAOB to conduct inspections in China, even of international firms, since it considers allowing foreign regulators to enforce foreign laws on Chinese soil to infringe on its national sovereignty.
There are no good options left for the PCAOB. Successful short seller attacks indicate that fraud and auditing failures continue to be a problem in China. The only real tool left in the PCAOB toolbox is to deregister the accounting firms that it cannot inspect. But this option would quickly lead to the delisting of Chinese companies from US markets, including companies like Alibaba and Baidu.

Schools hold 'Bus Ridership Week'
The Arlington School District is conducting its "Bus Ridership Week" Sept. 29-Oct. 3, and is asking that all children who will ride an Arlington school bus at any time during the school year to make sure that they ride the bus this week.
"Our school bus drivers will count your children as they get on the school bus each morning for five days," said Misti Gilman, public information coordinator for the Arlington School District.
The ASD's yearly transportation revenue from the state is determined by counting regularly transported students, but only during "Bus Ridership Week." The remainder of transportation funding comes from local levy funds.
Gilman noted that Arlington school buses travel 4,800 miles each day, and that their buses average 11,000 gallons of fuel consumed per month, just from transporting students.

Leave it to Harbaugh to call it a shoulder bruise. It's probably something worse that a guy as tough as Boldin just flinches at.
Printable View
Leave it to Harbaugh to call it a shoulder bruise. It's probably something worse that a guy as tough as Boldin just flinches at.
The problem with this board is that they don't see the difference between a dropped ball and a stripped pass. A lot of those balls that many think Boldi has dropped have actually been stripped from him/knocked out. Many of them being really hard ones to grip hold of. I haven't seen Boldin drop any passes at all in terms of a pass to hands type pass/when he's been open.
I think this board knows full well the difference between a drop and a strip. We have to go no further than the end of last season and to the numerous discussions over the Lee Evans drop to see that.
And Boldin himself has acknowledged the drops he's had this year.
at least its just a bruise, we would have found out by "sources" if it was anything more. He was going to sit this week anyway.
Boldin looked like Boldin of old out there yesterday, however. That seam route where he broke tackles to get us a first down on a 3rd and 18 was vintage Boldin. He's always been like a running back cut loose in the secondary when he catches the ball...until he became part of the Cameron offense.
The guy has half a Lowes Home Improvement store in his neck. Grab some bungee cords, drywall screws, and some duct tape and that "shoulder bruise" will be fine.
Boldin can go deep from the 30 yard line to the end zone but is not a "deep" threat as far as the long bomb. His 5-15 yard catches fit him perfect esp if he can run after and if they move the chains.
OT: remember the old billick plays when we ran an 7 yard out on 3rd and 10? lol. Boldin runs those plays but on 3rd and 5.

The port's primary mission is to create economic vitality in the region. This once-in-a-lifetime investment preserves a valuable transportation asset for the region, maintains current freight rail service, and secures the corridor for potential future freight rail use supporting the region's economy.The port is also interested in optimizing the use of this corridor for other transportation modes compatible with freight rail.Without the port's involvement to secure the corridor, the corridor could have been sold piecemeal to private owners and lost to public use forever.

Information Leaks and Safe Web Services
The paper shows that information leaks are inherent in object models based on subtyping and inclusion polymorphism. Web services interact with other systems across organizational boundaries using such an object model. In the context of web services, information leaks pose serious security and privacy concerns. A safe web service is one which neither is a source of any information leak nor exploits any information leak. The paper defines properties of such a safety model and proposes mechanisms to enforce the safety requirements. Leaks inherent in the programming paradigm however cannot always be completely masked while keeping the desired interoperability and flexibility of services intact, especially in compositional scenarios.

In an effort to consolidate race reports and make them easy to find for future reference, please post your DC Triathlon race reports here on this thread. Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!
Communications Coordinator
Yes Oh great and Wise Sandy The Communications Coordinator. But I am doing Xterra Richmond this weekend. Can I start my own thread... pleeeeeeeeease
I'll start.
Made it down with plenty of time to setup transition and get my head on straight. Warmed up a bit. Went down to the corral, and they announced the 1st delay. So I went over to stand in line for the bathrooms on the east side of transition. After 15 min, a race director kicks us all out of line, saying these are during-race-only bathrooms. So back to the corral,and they announce the 2nd delay. So I get back in line for the bathrooms by the corral, only to run out of time. Not a great start.
So I'm in the 4th wave, sprint men 30-34, and it's a big wave. There isn't enough room for everyone to hold onto the dock, so those of us with an arm on the dock have someone holding himself up on our shoulders. The horn sounds, we start. I get about 50 yards into the swim and feel the panic set in as I start swimming into people. Panic leads to poor form, hard time breathing, and lots of water in the lungs. So I head over to the kayak to catch my breath. After a min, I head back out, only to have it happen again. I catch people, panic, and off to the next kayak. I pretty much make my way from kayak to kayak around the course. I know my time will suck, but at least I make it around.
T1 goes great. Get on the bike, check my power, and what is this? I forgot to start my 310XT while in the water. Maybe subconsciously I new I didn't want to see the time in the water. I get the watch clicked over to bike, and put the hammer down. The bike leg is going great, I'm passing everyone I see, and nobody is staying close to me. I'm a little worried that I'm over cooking my legs, since I'm holding 10% over what I raced the training tri at, but figure I need to after the swim.
Get back to T2, and get stuck behind a couple slower riders heading to dismount. Run the bike back to the rack, and boy that was a long run. Looking at my post race log in WKO I see that I actually did manage to break 30 min on the bike leg, before the dismount. That was my goal, but it's kinda chincy, since I didn't get the watch started right away. But I'll take it!
After toasting the bike, I'm a little worried about my legs. So I start out trying to keep a high cadence to get the muscles loosened up. I'm holding right at 8:00min/mi, and start to feel the legs get working. I'm passing people, feeling good. I did get passed by a couple guys, as well as a couple girls who were FLYING. I'm watching my watch, counting down the miles. I find a pace buddy, and we settle into a nice 7:50 pace. Pass the DC Tri Club stop. Great job volunteers!
Get to 5k, and I'm like "Where's the finish line?" Little did I know, the run is 6.7k, not 5k. We still have to run past the capitol twice and the damn hill. I drop down to a 8:30 pace on the uphill, but manage to summit it feeling pretty good. I stride down hill at a nice 7:00 pace, settle back to an 8:00 pace on the flat, and now I can feel the legs running low. Round the corner, and I can see the finish line! Pick up the pace back to a 7:10, and kick it home.
Whew! What a recovery after the horrible swim. I'm betting that when the results are posted, that I will have the smallest gap between swim time and bike or run time, for all 2500 racers. 27 min on the swim, 33 on the bike, 34 on the run. Yikes, if I can figure out the open water part of swimming, I'll finally be front-of-the-pack.
Mistakes to fix next race
Keep my wits in the water
Use thicker rubber bands for the clipped-in bike shoes
Open the bike shoes during setup
Start the timer in the water
Btw, some early results: Janey and Jimmy, a couple often seen at the Catholic U swims, finished 1 and 3, respectively, in their age groups.
(Washington DC now hosts two major, well-run triathlons. Very nice.)
Whoever designed the end of that run must hate triathletes. Either that or I need to study the race map better next time. Up Cap Hill, then I thought the finish was at the flat after we came back down, only to find it did another short turn around. Brutal.
I can't find my time sheet at the moment, but came out of the water much farther ahead than I would have thought (~14:5x). On the bike, some combo of my breakfast and the too-strong gatorade was causing some problems on my stomach (time ~34:xx), which held on through the run. Run time was slower than I wanted, with the limiter being my stomach, not legs or lungs which was frustrating (33:xx). That's about :30-45/mi slower than I wanted to be running, but maybe that was too ambitious of a goal.
Overall though, finished 14th in sprint M25-29 wave. Not sure how many started in that one.
Pre Race: I felt I lacked a certain regularity to my nutrition so I decided to stick with what I've been eating. Banana, cereal and milk, cliff bar and water at about 3:15am this morning. I also benefited from having enough experience to ward off and prerace anxiety related stomach issues.
Swim: The worst part was the corral. I was kicked about 19 times waiting for the swim start. Aside from that I was relatively relaxed. After the second turn I had a feeling I was going to end up with a 20+ minute split. I definitely felt I could have swam faster but I wanted to make sure I could really kick it on the bike. Good news came back when I finished: 16:03
T1: I took my time and slowed the heart rate before I got on the bike. Thank you Pacers transition clinic for the rubber band tip to keep my shoe positioned. Thumbs up to you guys: 2:08.
Bike: I made it my point to keep my speed over 20mph and only let people with better bikes pass me. Worked out really well. I could have pushed it up the one hill in the middle of the course a little more and I'm continuing to have water bottle problems. Lost another one on the course. Oh well. Good ride. 21mph average: 35:26.
T2: I got out of my shoes at the dismount just fine and had to slow myself down running through the TA. I was ready to hit the road: 1:24.
Run: Kept it at a decent pace to start and got in a good groove in the middle of the course. Thank you DC Tri volunteers for the water! The rags were great too. I really felt very comfortable until the first pass of the finish area. HUGE Side stitch cramp that took a few meters to rub out. What always helps is the dude who passes you telling you to get a move on. Thanks to that DC Tri gentleman for kicking my ass back into gear. That hill was pure pain but I kicked hard to finish. Good run I think: 30:47.
Overall: 01:25:46
Hands down the best race I've run and my first in the area, as I just moved back here from Tulsa. It was a fantastic race and I'm completely excited about my time. I set my goal as 1:30, having not done an open water but twice at Sandy Point. The best part about good races is trying to figure out how you can go faster. Maybe the worst part is not having any excuses for why you didn't. Everything clicked this race. Great work everyone.

I'm an NTPer--this was my first race. I did the Olympic.
Swimming is my sport, so I was confident going into it. I never thought I would say it, but I thought the Potomac was genuinely nice to swim in today. It was warm, didn't smell funny, and honestly I forgot I was in a river sometimes if you know what I mean. Getting used to all the people was tricky--I was going pretty fast so I found myself swerving around people a lot and breast stroking around folks. But I managed to not get kicked too much. I need to work on my sighting--I think I was slowing down a lot doing that. Swim split was 28:05.
I was unprepared for how clunky my legs would feel. I didn't feel like I could run at all until I was almost at my bike. I took my time a bit--making sure I had everything I needed and wasn't forgetting anything. Running in the bike shoes felt really weird, too, so I ended up fast walking out of T1. T1 was 3:49
I'm still riding a hybrid, so that made me feel a little pokey. I expected to be totally demoralized as I watched everyone pass me by, but actually, it felt good to be still being passed by some pretty fast people all the way to T2--it showed me how much of a head start I managed to get on the swim. But overall, I felt good, I pushed that damn hyrbid as fast as I could. :-) It was really a blast to be cruising along those DC highways. Bike split was 1:28--about what I expected.
This went pretty much like T1--I found I couldn't really run in the bike shoes, and just took my time a bit making sure I had everything before I headed out for the run. T2 was 3:04.
Oh boy, the run--my weakest sport. I started running six months ago and couldn't even run a straight 1/2 mile. So I figure I've come a long way! Anyways, I tried to just keep a consistent, conservative pace--for me that's about a ten minute mile. I walked through all of the aid stations to give myself a breather. And then at mile 4, my body just started falling apart. I was getting really, really hot, feeling a little dizzy, and started getting nauseous. I was guzzling water and powerade at the stations and popping my nutrition, but alas. So I mostly walked between mile 4 and and 6--I made a new friend as another guy was having the same issue. We jogged short bits together. Then I made that last turn towards the finish line, and just put everything I had left into not stopping running until I hit the finish line. My run split ended up being a 1:10, with a total race time of 3:12.
So I did it! Thanks to the entire club, and especially the NTP program. The cheering, the encouragement, and all of the great clinics and training program in the NTP made this possible.
I really need to get a new bike.
Vertical Swimmer Meet The Otter....A Newbie's Sprint Triathlon Tale
Set up. Arrived at Transition with only about 20 minutes for set up. thankfully, Ihan's race day checklist and set up tips had me well prepared for a speedy set up. Helmet upside down, straps out on the bike handles, sunglasses opened inside as well as gloves. Towel down. Bike shoes with socks turned halfway inside out first. Running shoes next. visor and race belt in the back. Fastest set up in history. That's where my speediness for the day ended.
In the water. Opted to go with the tri suit only since I was broiling in full wetsuit at Sandy Point two weeks earlier. After a 30 minute unexplained delay, I jump into the water with the other 40-44 women. As a total newbie, I don't know if we can hang on to the pier while we wait for our wave to go off so end up treading water for three minutes. (I see a race official angrily DQ one woman who jumps in on the wrong side of the platform so I'm not inclined to ask.) When the horn goes off, I'm already tired. Start swimming -- is that a foot in my face? -- I try to focus on a slow steady pace. No dice. Can't catch my breath. 75m in -- I flip on my back and "Otter" it for awhile (with visions of Amanda's story of whacking some guy in the privates who had the misfortune of "pulling an otter" in front of her during one of her races). OK, ready to try it again. 50 more meters and The Otter returns. All I can think is "I hate this" "I'm never doing this again" "What was I thinking." But it's too late now so it's face back in and off I go. There's the Sprint turn buoy. Hallelujah. 50 more meters. What the heck, need a break, go for The Otter. OK, enough already. I remember what IM-in-training buddy Lynn Ratnavale has told me. Just think of Nemo, "just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming." Face back in, make the turn and finally find my stride. Stroke, glide, breathe, rotate the hips, sight, see two women hugging the kayak for dear life, current seems to pick up, The Otter returns (but only for a second). Face back in, last buoy, turn, find a little draft, make it to the ramp, remember not to whack the underwater edge (Thanks for the pre-race post "stiefler"), back on terra firm (sort of), and who's there to greet me with the high five, but the Vertical Swimmer himself! I survived the swim (21:28). It's gonna be a great day.
Bike -- I'm so happy to have survived the swim that I take a leisurely stroll up to the bike -- why rush it? Result - 3:55 T1. Note to self -- this is a race after all, next time jog to the bike at least. Pull on socks, shoes, I don't forget the helmet like I did for the first lap of the practice tri two weeks earlier, take a GU and off I go. I'm flying, I'm passing people, I'm so happy not to be swimming, I'm thinking "just keep spinning, just keep spinning...", I clip out of my pedals without crashing, I finish. Apparently, someone forgot to tell the clock that I was flying b/c, the end result -- 17.6 mph (42:19). But, who cares, I'm not swimming.
Run -- What can I say about the run -- it was hot, it was slow, it had a nasty hill and a finish line fake out. But who cares, I wasn't swimming and there were tons of DC Tri people out there with so much encouragement all along the way. I even let myself believe them when they told me I was looking great. End result -- 10:12/ mile (42:22). But again, who cares, I'm not swimming.
So that's my report. I finished smack in the middle of all women and my age group. I'm happy. I'm a triathlete. Now who's going to meet me at Sandy Point next weekend so I can start preparing for Peasantman, Iron Girl and Nations?
PS -- hats off to the co-leaders and volunteers of the NTP program -- you got me and the rest of NTP 2010 to the finish line with your knowledge, patience and encouragement. Many, many thanks.
Great to see so many old friends and to meet a lot of our newer members over the weekend. The enthusiasm of our newer members is definitely contageous, keeping us old vets motivated. Highlights: Hanging with the DC Tri crew before the race, connecting with a lot of veteran friends again, meeting our newer members, seeing folks do their first tri, or first Oly's, crashing into the swim waves in front of us and weaving through, hearing from folks that they did fine on the swim, riding 5 abreast at times down the DC avenues going full speed, seeing the mile 2 water stop with our club members, getting any cold towels on the run, seeing many familiar faces on the run and encouraging each other, having Adriana try to drag me to full sprint at the finish line, the awesome food spread at the tent. Tough day, but well worth it. Simon.
The 3 AM wakeup.....well at least I've never gotten downtown so fast!
The water felt great. My shoulders were still sore from my long distance swim last Sunday, so I wasn't cycling my arms as fast. Is there a trick to not getting so many people swimming into you?
I took too long on this one, over 4 min.
I really did not like the U-turns, thankfully no traffic jams.
Good transition, wish the distance from bike dismount to transition area was shorter.
This did me in. I didn't get my 'legs' until after mile 1. I watched my pace slow, but kept up a run, not stopping, only grabbing water at every other aid station, mostly to throw it on my head. However I wasn't able to keep the 'run' up the 'Hill' before Mile 5. It's quite humbling when you see other people fly by you. I tried to keep a consistent pace throughout, but now I know that I need more 'bricks' in my training regimen. I will say that 'out & back' isn't my thing.
Kudos to the 'After race tent' That food was the best!
As an ntper, I had a great first race! The swim was better than I thought, I had a good bike ride (though some problems w/ my gears/chain thanks to Performance Bike who said they had fixed it), and a nice hard, HOT run!
Thanks again to all NTP co-leaders, fellow ntpers, dc tri members who've been sooo encouraging, and volunteers. I can't wait to train more and hopefully get a little faster!
NTP Olympic-Distance Triathlete Reporting: As a new member, I think it's great we all have somewhere to compare notes!
Swim: I loved the giant buoys and the course layout. The water felt great and the no wetsuit turned out to be a non-issue although I think it will help speed in future races.
Bike: The bike course was a blast - especially the length over the bridge. I rode a hybrid so that gave me time to pick out the kind of tri-bike I want to buy as they all passed me :)
Run: The first mile was crampy and the last 1.5 was HOT. Otherwise, I loved all the support from fellow club members.
This is a great club to be a part of. Thanks to all the NTP co-leaders, fellow NTPers, volunteers, and club members for all the support and help!
NTP Oly report:
I arrived at the transition area with more than enough time to set up, relax, stretch, walk around and enjoy seeing all the athletes get ready. It was great running into other NTPers and DCTri clum members. I was most nervous about not knowing how I would feel during different parts of the race, and also about the swim.
Swim: as my weakest, weakest sport I was not setting my goals too high. The first 800m were brutal and I could not find my rhythm or seem to catch enough air. Around the 200m mark the next wave started to overtake me in their green swim caps. Then I saw red, then navy blue swim caps. I was the only purple (f, 25-29) age grouper around. And then, to my absolute delight, people in wetsuits started to pass me. 'Awesome', I thought, as I tried to focus on my race and not worry about others. At marker 1000 I finally started to feel okay and and was making headway. Time: 54:54
T1: I had no trouble finding my bike, as it was one of the few remaing. T1: 4:48, super slow as I needed time to catch my breath and pump the inhaler. Shoes on...jog out.
Bike: I was aiming to finish the bike in ~1.5 hours. Total time was 1:34. Not bad. During the actual bike, I was convinced I was in last place overall. I figured anyone slower than me on the swim would definitely pass me on the bike since my hybrid can only go so fast. When I realized that was not the case, and was able to pass some people, I just kept repeating "push it, push it". Riding on the highways, past the Kennedy Center, and with great views was tons of fun.
Run: I was aiming for an hour. Total time: 1:08:09. I only walked during the aid stations where I needed to drink. Kudos to the DC Tri aid station and in general to a well coordinated effort. As soon as I felt I was overheating and too hot to stand, and aid station would be there and kept me going.
All in all, despite my 98.5% age group finish (aka 64/65) I felt a huge sense of accomplishment crossing the finish line. I am psyched for Peasant Man and Nation's and know what I have to work on to get faster.
Next steps:
Clip-less pedals for the hybrid (saving for a road bike)
Track workouts with Hillary on Weds for running speed
Lots of swimming
Thank you, DC Tri club, and especially the NTP co-leads!
To start, I'd like to say thanks to the Board and to Conte's for the race wheels, I don't know if I really was faster on the bike, but I sure felt and sounded like I was!
Set the alarm for 3:30, earliest race wake up ever, only to forget to turn it on. Thank goodness my fiancee (Pete) was awake, but since I hadn't told him exactly when we were leaving, he taps my foot at 4:15 and says "When do we need to leave?" oops, NOW!
So, needless to say, I was not in the "arrived at transition with plenty of time to get ready" crowd.
Thanks to Janie for letting me borrow her "crack pipe" (the pump adapter for the disc wheel) and to Hillary for letting me borrow her pump since my back tire was pretty flat. At least I had already put my bike shoes on my pedals the night before I did manage to get in and out of transition in record time though!
Then came the wait for the Olympic race. Lines for the porta-potty were pretty bad. Borrowed Pete's size 11 mens shoes and walked over to the Lincoln Memorial, only to find the bathroom doesn't open until 9, but fortunately the nice security officer directed me to the open one halfway down the mall, so I managed to also get in my pre-race warm up, even if the shoes were 4 sizes too big...
For the first time ever, I got to race in the elite wave. It was sooooo nice not to have to swim around a million people (getting kicked in the process). The swim felt great and I had a rare opportunity to draft someone for most of swim. About 2 minutes into the swim, I realized I hadn't turned on my forerunner, doh! I guess I'm not the only one who forgot after reading James' report.
As I got out of the water, the girl just in front of me was not one of the ones I saw jump in at the beginning, so I was a bit confused, I wondered if perhaps I should have tried to push just a wee bit harder to be the "first" female out (first out but not fastest swim time when other waves factored in). As I plodded into transition I suddenly remembered, ooops, gotta turn on my watch!
Still need to work on transitions, one of these days I'll learn how to jump onto my bike instead of walking up to the line and just getting on... and then I spent the next 30 seconds messing with my watch. At least I got it on and in the right mode finally...
The bike course was nice, except for a few folks hanging out in the left lane and other folks passing on the right (just like driving in DC traffic!). The wheels felt and sounded fast, I'm just not sure if the engine was as good as it should have been... that's what happens when "life" gets in the way of training, if only I were more organized... yes, I was daydreaming instead of focusing during the race as well... I also think I am a bit too dependent on my powertap, without it I was really having some trouble gauging my effort level. I did manage to pass the girl who was a few seconds ahead of me out of the swim and was leading through the first lap which felt great. Then came the second lap and I got passed, but I knew that would happen. Heading into transition things went pretty smoothly, jumping off the bike is sure easier than trying to jump on it!
In hopes of not getting blisters, I wore my running shoes with socks, extra time in transition, but I figured the extra 30 seconds now would save my feet for the run in Philly (I did still end up with blisters though, wet socks not so good)....
Heading out onto the run I was still in 2nd (out of the elite wave, not counting the faster women in later waves) and for the first few miles I felt great and was holding a decent pace for me (running being my weakest leg). I was in no man's land for about 2 miles, no one ahead of me, and no one immediately behind me. Then as we hit the 9th street tunnel I heard footsteps behind me and thought "please let that be a boy, please let that be a boy"... it was. Then came the wall at mile 4. I grabbed as much water as I could and exchanged cool towels every chance I got but still felt completely overheated. I even walked long enough to down a cup of powerade. I got passed and was in 3rd... then passed again, 4th. Not where I wanted to be.
Fortunately at the next turnaround there was a headwind. Normally I hate headwinds, but it was just so refreshing to feel a "cool" (well, at least not hot) breeze. And it was downhill, so I just tried to fall into the wind. When Jimmie passed me around mile 5ish I tried to keep up with him as best I could. As he "pulled" me up to the girl in 3rd (well mentally anyway) I thought, ok, I can catch her... Finally, we rounded the last turn and there was the finish line, and it was downhill! Pete was jumping up and down trying to cheer me on. I mustered every last little bit of strength I had and "sprinted" past her. Pete said it was like watching a couple of 4-cylinder cars race, they were giving it every bit of gas they had, but it was still like watching it in slow motion! But at least when I hit the finish I knew I'd given it my all. And got a new PR in the process :o)
But wait... I have to go through this again next weekend?? I think my co-workers are right about being a glutton for punishment...
Oh, one more note, thanks to all the DC Tri folks cheering along the way, to whoever set up the tent with the yummy munchies, and to all who volunteered!

Each data point represented cortical activity corresponding viagra pharmacy bangkok to a unique fatigue status of the subject or time frame. The results showed that the handgrip force and EMG decreased in parallel for the 140% level task. Fatigue was determined by evaluating changes in force and EMG , which declined to about 20%, while EMG of the flexor muscles declined to about 35% of the maximal levels in 440 seconds.

Kasseler chops with sauerkraut, a traditional Oktoberfest recipe, is delicious all year long. Easy to make, these smoked pork chops were one of my Mutti's favorites. And now, they're one of mine as well, when I can get them. Kasseler was expensive at our German deli in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, so it was only for very special days that Mutti would get this.
Because it always was tender, kasseler was and still is an easy German meal for company.
Kasseler is a salted and slightly smoked cut of pork, that is known predominantly in Germany. The origins of the name is unknown.
Kasseler isn't always available at our deli.
So, for everyday meals, or when it's not on sale, I'll use the alternative recipe for Smoked Pork Chops I learned from my friend, Heidi.
She uses a pea-meal bacon roast (cured boneless pork loin) instead. It tastes similar, so it's become one of the many German-style dinner recipes that we enjoy. My hubby even says he likes it better!
But for special, it's this recipe for Kasseler with Sauerkraut above.

One of the cornerstones of SSX is tracks - levels, runs, peaks, mountains. Many qualities combine to create that ineffable SSX experience: the way that there are a million options, how you see new lines down every time you try a run, how great moments flow in to one another, how you round a corner to see a gorgeous vista, and many others. Creating levels like this has always been an immense challenge, but we knew from the beginning that we needed to go a step beyond: not only did we need incredible levels, we needed an incredible number of them.
