Goodby created this commercial for Adobe, which aired the day after the Superbowl. The idea was to get past the Super Bowl hype and use real metrics to measure the success.
the monkey says "can you believe they spend millions of dollars on these things for what, 30 seconds? It's way cheaper to run it online. then they'll know who sees it, and whether it works.
While I love the idea of using the Super Bowl clichés (talking animals anyone?) the ad is a wee bit flawed in its logic.
Last night's Super Bowl was the most watched event in history. We're talking 111.3 million viewers. So while we can't say every last person saw the the Clydesdale spot, last night, a lot of people must have, because the "official,' youtube channel from Budweiser shows the spot having close to 6.4 million hits as of Monday late morning PST.
Since no one saw Adobe's spot last night, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the next day it only has 23,169 views.

You assume that number of views or hits is an accurate measure of an ad's effectiveness, which is of course wrong. That's the point the Adobe ad was trying to make, which was obviously lost on you.
Sure, millions of people saw the Clydesdale spot. But how many of them bought Budweiser beer as a result of seeing it? Impossible to know.
Since the Adobe ad ran online, it's effectiveness is capable of being measured.

Electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain computer interface (BCI) is the most studied non- invasive interface to build a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device. However, the technology's susceptibility to noise in EEG measurements seems to impede such efforts. Alternatively, building BCIs based on less noisy brain sources activity instead of their surface projections, measured by the noisy EEG signals, seems a promising but still not well explored direction. In this context, finding the locations and waveforms of inner brain sources represents a crucial task for advancing source-based non-invasive BCI technologies. A particle filter (PF) framework to simultaneously estimate the number of EEG sources, their locations in the 3D head geometry and their corresponding waveforms is the focus of this talk. Status-quo in EEG source localization assumes fixed source locations, independently of the different stimuli that excite the brain. The proposed PF framework presents a shift in the current paradigm by estimating dynamic EEG sources, which may vary from one location to another in the brain depending on internal and external stimuli that animate the brain. Our simulations, based on generated and real EEG data, show that the proposed particle filtering approach estimates the dynamic EEG sources with high fidelity and outperforms popular techniques for EEG source localization like beamforming.

The expulsion of 8 badminton players from the Olympics this week caused a bit of controversy in the sports world so I thought I'd look at it from a cycling perspective. My opinion and apparently the opinion of my sport is that strategy goes deeper than just an individual game or race. It's like chess. It's all about sacrificing at a lower level in order to achieve a greater victory.
While I was racing I did some crazy mental training. Hours upon hours of affirmations. Up Topanga Canyon, down Tuna, up Latigo, down Kanan Dune, up the PCH, up Mulholland, down Encinal and finally back through Malibu, Santa Monica, Venice and finishing on the Ballona Creek bike path into Culver City. All the time listening to tracks off The Ultimate Cyclist CD and repeating the affirmations to myself out loud and with conviction.
Last weekend at the team's winter training camp, we hosted Wonderful Pistachios employees for a weekend of skills clinics and training. It was an exciting weekend with some great riding and bonding and everyone left in high spirits, motivated to ride more and become better all around cyclists. The problem with these camps is that in the weeks after it is over, a lot of the adrenaline and excitement wears off and the whole thing fades to a distant memory.
On Saturday night my wife and I went to the wedding of my long time friend and teammate Stuart Press. Stu and I started riding together back in '98 when I first move out to LA on and he sat us at a table with our old friends, Marco Fantone, Aaron Gadhia and Matias Mendigochea, all from that original squad. We had been cat 4s 12 years ago when we started racing and this year, after Stu's mid-season upgrade we had finally all achieved the rank of category 1.
One of the big buzzwords in psychology in recent years is the concept of "resilience," the ability to be flexible and adjust to new situations on the sports field or in the game of life itself. That same resilience and flexibility applies to race strategy and both team and individual tactics within a race.
I learned a lot from the sport of cycling but the greatest lesson didn't come until after I stopped racing last August. It was actually in the team van on the way back from the 2010 Tour of Utah that it happened. I gained something that had eluded me for my entire 23-year racing career - I gained perspective.
This weekend I watched a few minutes of the Triathlon World Championship Series on the Universal Sports Network. I sometimes like to watch these draft legal events because frankly they crack me up. It also makes me reflect on different skills and drills to improve bike handling for everyone who rides a bike.
Sprinters are a special breed, whether they're track sprinters like Chris Hoy or road sprinters like Cavendish and Cippolini. Some feel that they're born sprinters or not, and there is a bit of truth to that. However, sprinting is also important to train no matter what your natural racing style, because the truth is that most races end up in small or large groups dashing for the line. What are some ways to improve your sprint to increase your odds of podium placings?
This article was originally intended it to be a straight ahead supplement recommendation. Sort of a top 10 list of the most highly recommended supplements for cyclists. In order to create that list I went to see Dr. David Allen one of the leading doctors in the field of alternative and integrative medicine. However, after talking to Allen I realized that this topic was not as simple as I had thought. Supplementation is unique to each athlete and what works for one person might not work for another.
Why spend months preparing for an event when all you really need is a few weeks? The reason unfortunately is that it takes more than 3 weeks to create significant fitness improvements, but what if you don't have months? Can any positive change be made in a shorter period of time and if so, what is the shortest possible time frame?
The number of Masters athletes has dramatically increased over the past two decades in many sports. And right up there in popularity are the cyclists, both racers and recreational riders. As far as I know, there are few longitudinal studies that measure physiological systems with a focus on performance of athletes as they age, but what are some ways for masters cyclists to get older and faster at the same time?.
In my ever lasting quest to seamlessly merge mental training with physical training, I've created a concept I call Zone 6. Cyclists who are serious about their training are sticklers for their training zones so I figured what better way to assign a mental workout on a structured training plan than to give it a zone of its own.
Due to popular demand stemming from last month's Pistachio Diet article, I have decided to write a follow up piece with specific dietary recommendations for cyclists looking to get the most out of the food they eat.
First, I want to thank everyone for sending me their goals. They are now posted at LiquidFitness.com. OK, on to the Pistachio diet, and a different way of looking at nutrition labels, eating, and weight control based on glycemic index.
Having goals is one of the important first steps in achieving your dreams. They can be small goals or they can be big goals, but without them you'll just be drifting along. Having set your goals, though, the critical next step is to share your goals to make sure that you stay on course.
I was at the coffee shop the other day answering questions about those funny gold cranks on my bike (which, during the winter when I am riding my PowerCranks, is how I spend most of my coffee shop time) when someone made a comment along the lines of, I remember those. They were popular a few years back. Right away I knew it was time for another Pez article.
There is such a thing as being a bad client or a good client, even if you don't have a coach who you pay to train you. I'm going to use the word "client" to refer to anyone who has ever read a training article or book and tried to follow the advice. For the purposes of this article, you are a client of whichever coach's advice you are attempting to follow.
Endings often turn out to be beginnings. For instance, waking up in the hospital after stage two of the 2004 Redlands Classic with no memory of how I got there seemed to be the end of my racing career. In fact, it ended up being the beginning of my journey into the world of sports psychology.
I've started and stopped this article several times and I've even come up with a number of titles: Run Red Lights and 15 other great ways to induce homicidal road rage, Don't Be an Idiot (quoting my favorite TV doctor), and Riding Etiquette (as if it was a follow up to my Style Etiquette articles).

Colorado House thankfully starts bar-setting process on gun control
It comes as little surprise that the state of Colorado, the state where a gunman opened fire at a movie theater last summer, has taken the lead on stronger gun control within its borders.
Colorado's Democratic-controlled House on Monday passed a number of gun control bills, but nothing came easy.
One bill that would limit the size of ammunition magazines barely survived Republican resistance, passing 34-31. Other bills that passed included a ban on concealed firearms at colleges and stadiums, an all-encompassing background check on all gun purchases and a requirement that gun buyers pay for said background check. The bill requiring those background checks was the closest of the four, passing by one vote, 33-32.
Republicans in Colorado argue the measures restrict Second Amendment rights and won't prevent mass shootings like the one at the Aurora, Colo., theater, or the one at Sandy Hook. And they say the bills won't prevent evil people from doing evil things and that students should have the right to defend themselves.
We happen to be in favor of gun-free zones at college campuses, at least when it comes to students – arming administrators, well, that's a different story.
Indeed, there are deep philosophical differences on gun control between Republicans and Democrats, philosophical differences that can be found in every state in the country. Minnesota is no different, and we're sure to hear plenty in the coming weeks and months about gun control coming out of St. Paul. What the end result will be remains to be seen, but we hope our elected officials are paying attention to what's happening in Colorado, a state that unfortunately knows all too well what can happen without stringent gun control.
Minnesota, too, has seen its share of gun violence that has resulted in needless deaths, whether it's at a business, school or in a residential neighborhood somewhere – all the more reason for this state to jump on board and wake up to the fact that gun control not only needs to be debated, but acted upon.
We care deeply about upholding the Constitution and citizens' rights, but the time has come to toughen up.

Less than a month into the New Year and the e-retailer and marketplace announces plans for three additional U.S. fulfillment centers.
Checking in at middle age
Location-based services are the province of the young.
The local spoon near where I live is known for its gyros, chicken kabobs and burgers. A no-frills diner, Johnny's has not changed much in years. A small flat-panel television for diners to watch that replaced a dying tube TV is the only change I've noticed in nearly seven years.
I suspect that Nick, and his brother Magic, who own Johnny's, like it that way. That is why I was a little surprised a few weeks ago to see a Facebook check-in deals decal behind the counter. If I showed Nick, who usually works the cash register, that I checked in at Johnny's on Facebook, I could get a free medium soft drink with a purchase of $5 or more.
If Nick tracked the ages of the people who take advantage of the check-in deal he would discover I am one of the few in my age group who take the time to use a location-based service to get a deal. According to a comScore Inc. MobiLens analysis of 16.7 million U.S. mobile subscribers who use check ins, only 9.7% of adults age 45 to 54 check in at a merchant. Most of those who check in are younger: 58.5% are between 18 and 34 years old. In its analysis, comScore found that 12.7 million of all check-ins were made with a smartphone.
That is about what I expected. Of my friends, it is the younger ones who typically use check-in services. I've tried some, but stopped using them once the novelty wore off. Last year I used Foursquare, another location-based service, for several months, but found only one merchant offering a coupon I could actually use. That was at Ram Restaurant and Brewery for a free cup of soup. Starbucks has a Foursquare deal for a $1 discount on a beverage, but only if you are the mayor—as Foursquare calls those who check in the most at a location—of that particular store. Have you seen the volume of 18- to 34-year-olds that move through a Starbucks? No way would I ever be mayor of a Starbucks.
But I could be mayor of Johnny's, or, better yet, just check in on Facebook, get a free soft drink and not worry about someone half my age trying to unseat me.

Filed under: Safety
When it comes to the topic of dietary supplements, a good rule of thumb is not to believe everything you hear or read from someone trying to sell you a product. Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) recently received Ask the Expert questions about products that were recommended by staff at stores, whether or not they were safe to take, and whether they would cause a positive result on a urinalysis test. In fact, two products were "high risk."
If you're considering a dietary supplement product, be sure to consult your healthcare provider first. Service dietitians can be another good resource to determine if you really need to supplement your diet. It's important to know how to spot potential high-risk supplements. Find out too if there is reliable scientific evidence that the ingredients in a product actually work. For more information, OPSS has a comprehensive "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) section with subcategories about general and miscellaneous topics, dietary supplement ingredients, performance, and weight loss. Or, to watch some videos or short PSAs, click on "Tools for Warfighters," and then the "Video" tab.
Take note: Your sunscreen—important for protecting your skin from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays—has an expiration date! Just as you wouldn't expect to feel well after eating expired food, don't rely on expired sunscreen to protect you from the sun.
Sunscreen can be effective for up to 3 years. After that, its active ingredients start to deteriorate, leaving you vulnerable to sunburn and sun damage. Ideally, you should use sunscreen often enough that your bottle doesn't last through the summer. If that's not the case, check the bottle you're currently using. If it's old, throw it out.
If you buy sunscreen with the expiration printed only on the box or wrapper, use a permanent marker to write the date somewhere on the bottle. And store it in a cool, dry place. Practice safe sun this summer to keep your family healthy and happy!
Since July 2016, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released over 25 Public Notifications about individual supplement products marketed for sexual enhancement and weight loss that contain hidden active ingredients. Through laboratory testing, these products were found to contain drugs and controlled substances—ingredients that pose health and readiness risks. For a list of these Public Notifications, visit FDA's Tainted Sexual Enhancement Products and Tainted Weight Loss Products.
The most common types of products found to contain "undeclared" ingredients (that is, substances not listed on the label) are those marketed for weight loss, sexual enhancement, and bodybuilding. Dietary supplements don't require FDA approval before being put on the market, and there is no way to know the contents of a product without laboratory testing. So if you're considering a dietary supplement, check the label to see if the product has been evaluated by an independent third-party organization.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S., but with proper precautions you can decrease your risk considerably. The sun releases invisible ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can cause cataracts (clouding of the eye lens) and skin cancers. An estimated 63,000 new cases and 9,000 reported deaths from melanoma—the deadliest form of skin cancer—occur each year.
UV rays also cause tanning and sunburns—and can damage your skin after only 15 minutes of exposure. They weaken the skin's elasticity, causing wrinkling, rash, and freckles too.
Remember that you can get sun damage on sunny and cloudy days. UV rays penetrate clouds, exposing you to 80% of the sun's harmful effects. The good news is that you can take steps to protect yourself from UV rays, while enjoying the outdoors.
- Limit your time in the sun. Seek shade and try to avoid sun exposure during midday (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) when the rays are strongest. And avoid suntanning and burning.
- Cover up. Wear protective clothing, including hats, long-sleeved shirts, and pants when going outdoors. Remember that protection decreases when clothes are wet.
- Apply sunscreen. Use water-resistant sunscreen with Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 15 or higher. Apply and let it absorb 15–30 minutes before heading outdoors. Use lip balm with SPF 30 or higher to protect your lips too. Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming, sweating, or toweling off.
- Protect your eyes. Wear sunglasses to cover the skin around your eyes and help prevent eye damage. When choosing sunglasses, check the label to make sure they block 100% of UV rays.
March 6–12 marks National Consumer Protection Week, a campaign that encourages consumers to make informed decisions about the products and services they purchase and avoid getting caught in a scam. Dietary supplements are often marketed with claims that sound too good to be true, so be a savvy consumer and question claims such as "quick fix," "miracle cure," and "scientific breakthrough." If you find a product you believe is falsely advertised/labeled or caused an adverse reaction, report it.
Visit the National Consumer Protection Week website to learn more about how to protect yourself from fraud, not just this week, but every day of the year. Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) strives to provide the best resources and tools to help you choose supplements wisely. You'll find even more information and consumer updates about dietary supplements from federal agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission, and watch this video from Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch.
Stimulants are common (and potentially problematic) ingredients in dietary supplements such as pre-workout and weight-loss products. But do you know how to tell if your dietary supplement product actually contains a stimulant? OPSS has some answers. Check out the OPSS FAQs about why stimulants are a problem and how to identify them on labels, both of which link to our list of "Stimulants found in dietary supplements."
And while you're there, visit our other OPSS FAQs, where you'll find information about specific stimulant ingredients such as DMAA, DMBA, BMPEA, yohimbe, and synephrine. We also have several FAQs about caffeine, probably the most common stimulant.
If you're feeling stressed, don't rely on liquid relaxation products to relieve your tension. While energy drinks are promoted to give you an extra boost, relaxation drinks* are marketed to do just the opposite and help you, well, relax. These products commonly contain the amino acid theanine, as well as several different plant-based ingredients. But the science doesn't support the use of relaxation drinks to decrease stress or anxiety, and consumers should be cautious of two ingredients: kava and melatonin. Bottom line, if you're feeling stressed, try to identify the cause, and then use stress management strategies backed by scientific evidence. Read more here.
Your body makes 5-HTP, but it can also be made in a lab and used in dietary supplements. Products containing 5-HTP are marketed to help with a number of health conditions, including appetite control and depression. Do they work? Read the Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) FAQ on 5-HTP to find out.

Using your military Pro Mask or other commercial mask device as a method of respiratory muscle training (RMT) isn't going to prepare you for higher elevations. Increasing the strength of your respiratory muscles which help you breathe—your diaphragm and the muscles between your ribs—will improve aerobic fitness, especially for long-duration tasks.
RMT can be achieved through whole-body aerobic exercise, upper-body strength conditioning, and some commercial RMT devices. Studies show that RMT slightly improves performance in those who are already aerobically fit (e.g., military personnel). It offers somewhat more benefit for those less fit or with chronic conditions.
Your Pro Mask was made to protect your lungs, eyes, and face from chemical and biological agents, radioactive particles, and battlefield contaminants. It doesn't create enough airflow resistance to help improve aerobic capacity. In addition, it wasn't designed as exercise equipment. There is no scientific evidence that suggests using commercial masks at normal altitudes will improve your performance at high altitudes. Read more about the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine's (USARIEM) review of Pro Masks and commercial products for exercise training. Check out HPRC's take on using high-altitude masks and improving work performance at higher elevations.
Running is one of the simplest forms of exercise—just throw on your shoes and head out the door. But there are a few simple things you can do to ensure your run is safe too:
- Carry identification. Bring some form of identification with you. There are various types of wristbands and shoe tags to provide emergency contact and medical information too.
- Stay visible. Wear a headlamp and/or reflective gear so drivers can see you when it's dark out—even at dusk and dawn. Make yourself visible to oncoming traffic.
- Turn the music down. Music can be a great way to help you keep pace. But if your tunes are too loud, you may not be able to hear cars or people coming up behind you. Keep music at a volume low enough that you can hear what's going on around you, or try wearing just one earpiece when you run.
- Grab a buddy. Running with a friend is a great way to keep both of you motivated and accountable. But when you do run alone, let someone know and share your planned route.
- Use the crosswalk and follow crossing signs. Drivers tend to be more aware of pedestrians near crosswalks because in many areas pedestrians (runners included) have the right-of-way there. If you're running where there is a crosswalk, use it.
- Don't assume a car will stop just because you're in a crosswalk. Make sure the driver sees you, slows down, and allows you to safely cross the street.
- Run against street traffic. Sometimes it's easier to run on the shoulder or in a bike lane. Remember to run against traffic (normally the left side of the road) so you can see the cars and the drivers can see you.
Stay safe and happy running!

Those Long Lunches You're Taking Can Get You Fired
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Although everyone needs the occasional midday break for running errands or popping out to a doctor's appointment, vanishing from the office regularly for two or three hours at a time can mean getting passed over for promotion, ignored for special projects or fired -- sometimes without warning. Our experts weigh in on the hefty consequences of lunchtime disappearing acts and the best ways to handle those times when you need to step away without taking a vacation day.
Sometimes I need to get out of the office for an extended break. How do I know when I'm crossing the line?
"Occasional long lunches are very acceptable. Everyone has something they need to take care of during the day. But when you disappear for two hours and come in loaded down with shopping bags or sporting a fresh pedicure, then it's a problem," says Elaine Varelas, managing partner at career management consultancy Keystone Partners.
It really comes down to understanding your company's workday philosophy, says Amanda Augustine, job search expert for job matching site TheLadders.
"A young startup will likely want you spending as little time out of the office as necessary, since teams are lean and workloads are heavy," Augustine says. "A more established organization may be more open to longer breaks, especially if your work is less time sensitive."
Additionally, some companies or departments value "face time" more than others, which affects their view of extended lunch breaks, Augustine says.
"If you're new to a company, make friends with someone who's been with the organization for a while and can clue you into the unwritten codes of conduct," she says. "Don't be afraid to bring this question up to your manager when you're discussing his or her expectations of you on the job. There's nothing wrong with finding out what's considered an acceptable lunch break and what isn't."
If I have to go out, should I sneak out of the office or announce that I'm leaving?
It's always best to be upfront and honest about where you're going and when you'll be back, Varelas says.
"Even if you think your bosses aren't watching, they are. Every time you disappear without warning, there's a chance someone will start looking for you. If they can't find you, they can't depend on you, and that's dangerous," she says.

Sounds like we are down to a final two with Mike Zimmer getting his second interview on Friday.
I would not call myself anti-Whisenhunt as I don't think he would be terrible, but Ralph Brown was on the radio tonight and pointed out a pretty large red flag. Aperantly Ken is a pretty soft head coach and I don't think that works great with such a young team.
Zimmer on the other hand is more of a hard nosed require your respect kind of guy. He has taken some real wild cards and coaxed them into legit players. Seeing what he turned Geno Atkins into I would love to see what he could do with Taylor and Rubin.
Seeing the way his defense rallied around him in Cincitucky tells me all I need to know about his leadership abilities.
Surprised a defensive guy is in the running, but I really hope he has a shot and would take Zimmer in a heartbeat.

Comments about Learning Resources Lights & Sounds Buzzers , Set of 4:
I got these for use in my corporate training room. We do a lot of reviews in our new hire onboarding program, and I wanted to make things a little more fun. I bought this set and the barnyard sounds set - so that each rep would have something different for a sound. I ended up having to put a piece of tape over the speaker - to not disrupt the other training rooms. But, they are a hit! My colleagues are already borrowing them for their programs. We've used for individual challenges - and for team challenges. They are a fun addition to our review time!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Lights and Sounds Buzzers, Set of 4
By Teaching With Love and Laughter
from Florida
I use these lights and sounds buzzers several times a week. They add fun and excitement to learning! These lights and sounds buzzers are a must have in every classroom! I use them to create a game show atmosphere. Each table competes against the others to answer a question first. My students beg to use these buzzers every day!
Love it! Excited to use it in my class!
By teacher
from Orlando, Florida
Excited to use it for content review for my class. It is well made and the different sounds are great.

The XRIJF an exercise in Love, Peace & Happiness
As I meandered the streets of Rochester to attend the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival (XRIJF), Club Pass in hand, greeted by varying temperatures and weather conditions, enthusiastic volunteers and vendors, and musicians and listeners, a prevalent theme arose from the event. While the producers of this jazz festival, John Nugent and Marc Iacona continue to tout the catch phrase, "It's not who you know, it's who you don't know!," addressing the eagerness to listen to a variety of jazz musicians and talent in town, to me the characteristics that emerged from the music festival were a promotion for love, peace, and happiness.
During my trek around town, I kept finding myself smiling with agreement at the actions of others as humanity and respect resounded in the space around me. I witnessed one woman running down another to give back the cell phone that had been left behind, or another man in his forties giving back money that had fallen from a young woman's jacket as she made an egress from the auditorium, cell phones actually be silenced during a show, and polite consideration of others, as well as musicians staying after to help teach the young and impressionable music students the fine art of having fun with their instruments, or witnessing the genuine gratitude and belief in love and peace as one artist made it a point to hug and thank every person that stayed after to buy a CD or converse with him. While I was only able to catch a meager 14 shows, two musicians in particular portrayed this very theme: Buckwheat Zydeco who sang about "Unity," and "Peace, love and happiness," and Baye Kouyate, a Malian griot (West African poet) who performaned in Kilbourn Hall chanted about "Love and peace," and then would motion to his heart and hold up the universal two-finger peace sign.
The nine day culmination of the XRIJF demonstrated an uplifting journey of a community coming together, especially at a time when other parts of the world are in upheaval and at war. Our city unified in celebration of the growth of the Rochester Jazz Festival. We were entertained with the various forms, origins, and expressions of jazz music and improvisation; we gazed upon strangers behaving kindly to each other no matter their background, gave respect to our fellow neighbors, celebrated the differences in culture, and observed a city showing signs of life and unity, if even for just a few days.
In addition, we reveled in the notion of being part of history from Friday nights (6-19-09) show. We heard the blues of music legend Taj Mahal and the growing talent from The Susan Tedeschi band who was starting their international tour with Rochester, play to a sold out crowd. And as it was explained to us, Friday night's attendance would be the last time the Eastman Theatre would hold a crowd of that magnitude as after renovations the theater would diminish in seating capacity.
The Jazz festival has gone beyond providing a venue for us to witness talented musicians and delighting our senses with jazz music. I believe it also has been about sharing of the arts and cultural world of jazz, demonstrating the interconnecting language of music and the soul, and of promoting a unified expression of love, peace, and happiness.

|Illustration IV: Mount Shasta with Indians and TeePees. Steel engraving by E.P. Brandard, after, S.S. Gifford, ca. 1873. Published in William Cullen Bryant, Picturesque America, v.1. LC-USZ62-52626. #605.
The region's lack of rain during the growing season meant that agriculture was not a practical means of livelihood for early Californians, but the gentle climate and rich soil enabled these groups to live by skillfully harvesting and processing wild nuts and berries and by capturing the fish that crowded the streams. The acorn, leached of toxic acids and turned into meal, was a staple of the diet of most California native peoples. Indeed, the first English-speaking Europeans to encounter California Native Americans were so struck by their focus on gathering nuts from the ground and unearthing nutritious roots that they nicknamed them "Diggers," and "Digger Indian" became a vague nickname for many of the groups.
An ample food supply, temperate climate, and absence of wars contributed to a large, healthy population. It has been estimated that when Europeans first came to California, the native population was probably close to 300,000--13 percent of the indigenous peoples in North America.

Picturing the Past 174: Fallout sheltersPosted Tuesday, January 8, 2013, at 2:52 PM
The W.P. Cooper Building, bearing a fallout shelter sign, as it and the Dixie Hotel were being demolished in June 1978. (T-G file photo)
But there's something more threatening mounted on the building.
Look at the far left of the photo, just to the top left of a door frame, and you may have to look closely. You'll see a very faded 'FALLOUT SHELTER' sign, designated by the three upside-down triangles within a circle.
Go here for the usual bigger view.
Back in the days when a nuclear war was considered much more of a possibility - or at least on everyone's minds more than today - those signs were commonplace. It seems like the courthouse, and maybe the library, were fallout shelters. I seem to remember several other buildings around the square having those signs.
I understand they kept stocks of basic foods such as crackers, water, soup, etc. for years in those shelters.
Anyone remember where the other shelters were in Bedford County?

The old Central High/Harris Middle School had a fall out shelter sign.

I remember an antique store being in there,also I think the City of Shelbyville rented it for a business office at one time.

Burkhalter's used to be in that building. That was back in the 50's.
-- Posted by DonnaGale on Wed, Jan 9, 2013, at 2:26 PM
I remember Burkhalter's. It seemed that store had a "Going Out of Business" sign on the building for three or four years bnefore finally closing.
-- Posted by bomelson on Wed, Jan 9, 2013, at 2:41 PM
The basement at Argie Cooper Public Library used to have the "Fallout Shelter" designation. There were still some of the big supply barrels down there, when I worked there in the 80's.

Hey Bo I guess John F's Furniture used the same signs for more than 4 years.LOL

David, you dont know how much I enjoy these Picturing the Past segments. It is the first thing I look for on Wednesday when I read the paper!
I seem to remember there being a fallout shelter in the basement of FUMC or am I thinking of this building? I remember it was close to the bottom of the stairs as the basement was where we meet for youth group on Sunday nights.
-- Posted by LivingInThe County on Wed, Jan 9, 2013, at 3:49 PM
Was the basement of the courthouse ever a designated fallout shelter?
-- Posted by Tim Lokey on Wed, Jan 9, 2013, at 10:09 PM
Was the "W.P.Cooper" at the top of the building for William Prentiss Cooper? If so, why.
-- Posted by decorate1956 on Thu, Jan 10, 2013, at 2:39 AM
W. P. Cooper owned this building and had his law office on the second floor. Jim Burns and Nowlin Taylor also had their offices there at one time.
-- Posted by luckylu on Thu, Jan 10, 2013, at 11:14 AM
I also remember Burkhalters being in this building. LivingInTheCounty you made a smile come to my face when you mentioned the Youth group at the FUMC. I have many great memories of those meetings and of Mrs. Price, and Mr. Paty. Good days for sure.
-- Posted by leeiii on Thu, Jan 10, 2013, at 1:51 PM
leeiii...you have opened up a box of "old memories" now by mentioning Mrs. Price and Mr. Paty. I didn't think anybody remembered those two strong youth leaders except me and luckylu. I can picture them and our "folk games" in the basement right now. Skip --to--my--loo!

Was the Selective Service Draft Board office located in this building? If not it was very close to this location. Mrs. Stanton the office manger for many years.
-- Posted by tenn49 on Tue, Jan 22, 2013, at 4:38 PM
tenn49, from roughly the mid fifties through the early sixties the draft board office was located on the west side of the square, in the Gunter building. Outside that time frame I have no idea where else, if anywhere, it might have been located. Seems that I recall reading something several years ago that stated that Gladys Stanton was the only office manager that ever occupied that position in Shelbyville, but don't hold me to that, this old memory isn't what it used to be, and it never was much sharper than a clod of dirt.
-- Posted by ilikeoldsongs on Thu, Jan 24, 2013, at 10:36 AM
I remember going to the Gunter Building to register in 1952 when I turned 18. It's what every young man did, no questions asked. Maybe it would be a good thing for every young person to give a couple of years of service to their country. I don't know.

With almost three quarters of the population indulging in some form of betting, gambling might just be the UK's national pastime. And there's no easier way to indulge your passion than with a quick online flutter especially with online roulette. In the world of the online casino, you're never inappropriately dressed, or too loud or too quiet, or too poor or too rich. And you'll rarely have to wait for a vacancy to appear at your favourite table.
But it's the rich diversity of the games that can really make an online trip so special. In a land-based casino, you'll only have a few options in front of you. But in an online environment, the possibilities are almost unlimited. You're likely to see a host of different games supported. Blackjack, roulette, live roulette, baccarat, poker and slot machines are the most popular. But you'll probably be able to try your hand at other games, from baccarat and pai gow, to keno and red dog.
But it's not just the choice of games, but the different flavours that many of them come in. Take blackjack, for instance. At the best casinos, you can play a simplified and fast version of the game, or you can instead treat yourself instead to a graphical showcase, with sophisticated options and features that make for the most luxurious experience. Alternatively, you may be able to try multihand blackjack, playing five hands or more at a time. Or you might be able to load up a version with a progressive pot of money that builds and builds as players try and fail to hit the jackpot. Some variations have stunning bonuses, while others use interesting rule changes that vary the play. You could even try a single-deck game that, in a few cases, even eliminates the house edge. And that's just blackjack – we haven't even got to slots yet, where over 1800 different versions are available across UK casinos. Same applies to other games like roulette, in an online environment at many casinos you can choose between standard online roulette and live roulette streamed from different themed rooms.
These days, you're not simply playing against a computer, though. Casino software often allows you to interact with the dealer, and with other players. You can chat away about any subject under the sun – or turn off the sound or text completely for a more focused experience. At their best, the graphics and sounds are stunning. But if even those aren't enough for you, you can fire up a Live Dealer version, making you feel as though you're right there in a real land-based casino.
So it's safe to deposit money online?
Yes, as long as you choose a reputable and safe online casino to play roulette or any other games you won't have problems. The top 10 table above lists casinos that we have signed up to and played roulette ourselves, they are established casinos with a great reputation and years in the industry. Most of the major casinos use the best of encryption techniques to ensure that criminals can't get hold of financial details. If you're worried about security, open an e-Wallet or e-Money account, like Neteller or Skrill/Moneybookers. These give you almost instant deposits (withdrawals usually take eight to 12 hours), and will mean that your credit card details aren't disclosed, or stored on the computers of numerous casinos. PayPal is, in some ways, an even better option, and is almost totally secure, even if the casino is a criminal outfit. However, PayPal isn't generally offered as an option, and may carry extra costs.
In general, your card details should be safe with reputable casinos – they take security of players' funds very seriously, and will go out of their way to protect your details. However, an e-Wallet is a great way of adding further protection.
Are They Legal?
In the UK, gambling is essentially legal and tax-free, as long as you're at least 18 years old.
In the USA, though, the situation is rather muddier, and has been so since the introduction of the notorious UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) legislation in 2006. On the face of it, this act concerned anti-terrorism. But at the last minute, changes were slipped in that gave it a rather more anti-gambling focus. The real problem is that the measures are so poorly worded that, eight years on, nobody can be really sure what the law is. And who does it affect? Players of skill-based games like Poker? (And could 'skill-based' be extended to blackjack?) Do the laws cover only those states where online gambling has been made illegal?
Whatever the true situation, many casino operators chose to exit the US market altogether, rather than risk being caught up in a UIGEA net. In 2011, 'Black Friday' saw a range of well-known poker sites become the targets of Justice Department investigations. These would result in Full Tilt being taken over, and PokerStars abandoning the USA. Since then, many sites have simply refused to have anything to do with the USA gambling markets. There are signs that the USA authorities are looking to relax their laws, and a string of US states have legalised online gambling, and are now trying to invite operators to open up. However, the online presence may well be limited in the short term, and casino operators may need to have a bricks and mortar presence in order to participate.
None of this is likely to significantly affect UK gamblers, although extra funds from US customers may help the bottom line of the largest casinos.
What if I have a mobile device?
Many (although by no means all) casinos have support for the most common mobile devices (Android, Apple iPads/iPhones). The type of support will vary. Android devices can usually play Flash-based casino games. Most sites, though, have dedicated mobile suites which offer versions specially optimised for the smaller screen. Large buttons and clear interfaces are vital when using mobile devices – even those tablets with large 9in or 10in screens – so it's sensible to look for dedicated mobile support where available.
What are Live Dealer games?
Traditional computer versions of blackjack, roulette and other types of game use a Random Number Generator, or RNG. This effectively picks a number at random – on a European roulette table, for example, it might pick a number between 0 and 36. Whichever number comes out will decide your fate. Choosing a random number doesn't seem like a terribly exciting way to spend an evening, but the software front-ends do a great job of disguising their one-dimensional nature. For all the excitement generated by the supposedly spinning reels and the various tunes and visual effects, though, the entire outcome tends to come down to whether the number originally picked for you was good or bad.
Live online roulette games, on the other hand, are more like the real thing. They are filmed in a 'real' casino, with a 'real' dealers serving up the cards. Good quality video lets you see everything that's going on, and you can often speak directly to the dealer, or to the other players at your table. Because cards are dealt out to you, the whole thing feels far more authentic. And, indeed, it is. But only to a limited extent. With a few exceptions (notably Vuetec, who beams video directly from a genuine gambling hall), the 'casino' is actually a studio set created specifically for the purpose. (This is done for practical reasons as much as anything – it's easier to handle the lighting and keep disruptions to a minimum if using a tailor-made set.) The croupiers may, in fact, be professionals. But many are chosen more for their looks (busty blondes being particular popular choices in the online world) than their actual experience. The feeds often come not from Britain, but from Eastern Europe, with Latvia particularly popular. Nonetheless, Live Dealer games are undoubtedly more exciting, and do a good job of bringing the glamour of real casinos into your front-room.

|Performance Cup 2013
|April 26-28 * Boise, Idaho
Five Idaho Rush teams came away with titles at the Performance Cup and another five teams took runners-up honors. Idaho Rush even had one tournament champsion from the Select program along with wins at U10, U11, U12 and U15.
|Boys U10 Idaho Rush-Blue
|U10 Boys Puma Elite Division
|The boys U10 Blue team rolled through pool play, outscoring their opponents 9-0 in three games. The boys got off to a strong start, beating Twin Falls Rapids 3-0 on Saturday. The Sunday morning game was even more sweet as Rush took a 5-0 halftime lead over league rival Nationals-Rochdale and never looked back, winning 6-0 to clinch a spot in the afternoon finals. The final ended regular time tied at 0-0, pushing the two teams into overtime. With 5 minutes gone, Ethan Hurt gained the endline before sliding the ball back to the top of the penalty area, where Nick Liebich drilled a left-footed shot into the right-hand corner for a 1-0 win.
|Girls U10 Idaho Rush-Attack
|U9/U10 Girls Puma Premier Division
|The surprise of the tournament had to be the success of the Select program's Idaho Rush-Attack, coached by Tod Rasmussen. The U9 Attack team played in a combined U9/U10 division and won three of their four games. Attack started on the right foot with a 4-2 win over Nationals-Dynamo Soundcrew Friday evening, then followed up with a pair of wins Saturday, 2-1 over the Idaho Rush-Matildas (another Select U9 team) and 3-2 over Twin Falls Rapids. Attack faced Nova-Roughnecks Sunday morning with a tournament title on the line. The girls needed only a draw to seal the win, and a 1-1 draw is exactly what they got. Attack will carry their momentum forward into the Spring Select Classic as the top seed this weekend.
|Girls U11-White
|U11 Girls Puma Premier Division
|The White team got a much-needed morale boost by cruising through the tournament schedule with an unblemished 4-0 record. Rush has struggled in the spring season, but rallied to post their best showing of the year. The girls started with a 4-1 win over Nova-Black on Friday before getting a 6-1 win over Jackson Hole on Saturday. A 3-1 win over Nationals-Flamengo Sunday morning sealed their spot in the final, where they took on Nampa Select Pumas. Rush won a seven-goal frenzy 4-3.
|Girls U12-Black
|U12 Girls Puma Elite 11v11 Division
|The girls normally play 9v9 in league play, but with reinforcements from other Rush teams they competed in the 11v11 division for a change of pace. The change seemed to suit them as they won a series of tight games. Friday evening provided a glimpse of what was to come with a 0-0 draw with Nova-White. Black found their shooting boots on Saturday morning with a 3-0 win over Avalanche of Utah, but the tight matches returned that afternoon with a 1-0 win over Legacy Football of Nevada. The two wins and a draw were enough to earn a rematch with Nova-White in the final, another close win at 2-1.
|Boys U15 Nike
|U15 Boys Puma Elite Division
|The boys used a string a strong defensive efforts to complete the tournament undefeated, allowing zero goals in four games. The run started well with a 6-0 win over Nova-Grey. The boys followed that up with a 0-0 draw with Coeur d'Alene Sting and a 5-0 win over PVSC Crew of Pocatello that placed them in the finals. The championship match pitted them against longtime rival Real Nampa, whom they dispatched with a 2-0 win.
|Boys U12-Blue/Grey
|U13 Boys Puma Elite-East Division
|Girls U12-Grey
|U12 Girls Puma Elite-West Division
|Boys U13 Swoosh
|U13 Boys Puma Elite-West Division
|Girls U16 Nike
|U16 Girls Puma Elite Division
|Boys U18 Nike
|U18/U19 Boys Puma Elite Division

NYPA Chairman Expresses Support for Legislation That Factors In Costs in Licensing Hydropower Projects
Text of Chairman Ciminelli's remarks
July 29, 2003
BUFFALO—New York Power Authority (NYPA) Chairman Louis P. Ciminelli Tuesday stressed the importance of a balanced approach to the relicensing of hydropower projects like the Power Authority's Niagara Power Project, as Congress works on energy legislation that includes attention to conditions of hydro licenses.
"Niagara hydropower is absolutely critical to strengthening the economy on the Niagara Frontier and setting the stage for future growth," said Chairman Ciminelli. "Our ability to use the power for these purposes will depend in large part on what happens in the relicensing process that's now well under way" for the project. It's a process, he said, that could be affected by the legislation now being considered in Washington.
The NYPA chairman said he was encouraged by the recent approval by the House of an energy bill that includes a provision requiring federal agencies to consider cost when proposing conditions to hydro licenses. It also would allow hydropower licensees to turn to more cost-effective, alternative conditions for providing equal environmental protection.
The same provision is in a pending bill before the Senate, though there have been efforts to weaken it, "so we're by no means home free," he said.
A resident of Buffalo, Ciminelli delivered the welcome remarks at the Waterpower XIII conference at the Buffalo Convention Center. The three-day conference is a biennial gathering of professionals in the hydropower field. The Power Authority is a sponsor of this year's event, which included a tour on Monday of the Niagara Project and its Power Vista visitors center.
"The Authority takes very seriously its commitments to the communities and the environment" in the areas of its power projects, said Ciminelli. "But the only way to pay for these commitments is through our rates. Ultimately, the issue isn't what the Power Authority is willing to spend on a proposed project or projects. It's what our customers are willing to accept by way of potential rate increases."
Only recently, NYPA completed a series of public scoping meetings to identify major issues for study and potential settlement for relicensing of the 2,400,000-kilowatt Niagara Project. The work is expected to lead to submittal of a license application and environmental assessment to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in 2005, with the current project license expiring in 2007.
The scoping meetings were part of an alternative licensing approach involving public participation in the relicensing process from the beginning, as opposed to a traditional method that limits it until later in the process. The Power Authority received FERC's permission last year to use the alternative approach, which is similar to one it employed for another large hydroelectric facility—the St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Project in Massena. The commission is expected to issue a new license later this year for the St. Lawrence-FDR facility.
Completed in 1961, the Niagara Project, about 4-1/2 miles downstream from Niagara Falls, is the single largest source of electricity in New York State and a bulwark for Western New York industries, with more than 43,000 jobs linked to its low-cost power. Together with St. Lawrence-FDR, the two projects meet about 15 percent of New York State's electricity.
NYPA also operates a 1,040,000-kw pumped storage project in the Northern Catskills that recycles water between two reservoirs to produce power during periods of peak demand, and five small hydro projects in various parts of the state. Overall, hydropower accounts for more than 80 percent of the Authority's installed capacity.
"I'm proud to say that these projects not only protect the environment—by producing clean, renewable energy without the taint of greenhouse gases—but they also enhance it with acres of beaches, parks, campgrounds and picnic areas for the public's enjoyment. We've planted trees and shrubs as forage for deer, sponsored fish stocking programs and generally contributed to wildlife preservation. Our programs, I'm told, helped set the standard for hydroelectric projects across the nation," Ciminelli said.
