The Rolling Stones Sees More Than 'Doom and Gloom'
One more time, for emphasis: Mick Jagger. 70. On tour.
Proof of the preservative side-effects of a bruising, self-indulgent lifestyle and a keen business sense.
My 12-year-old son listens to Rolling Stones songs. He doesn't know the band, exactly -- couldn't tell you who Mick Jagger is if his life depended on it. But he knows Fool to Cry , Gimme Shelter , Jumpin' Jack Flash and a handful of other hits.
My 16-year-old niece views herself as a woman of the world, wise in the ways of culture. I asked her if she knew the name Mick Jagger.
"Ya, sure," she said. "Famous singer, right?"
Right. What band?
"Um . . . don't know . . . ?"
Frankly, I told her, I wouldn't think you would. The band members were stars for my generation. But the band is on tour now celebrating its 50th anniversary and is about to gross more for that tour than probably Lady Gaga will for the same number of concerts.
"Holy crap!" she said.
Right, I said. I feel the same way.
The Rolling Stones was the top-grossing act of the last decade, raking in over $869 million for 264 shows in 10 years, according to Billboard, beating U2, Madonna and Bruce Springsteen. All of those are so-called "legacy" acts, but Springsteen was only just starting out and Bono of U2 and Madonna were still kids when the Rolling Stones members were partying up a storm in France and recording Exile on Main Street . That was 1972. The band had already been around for 10 years.
The question of how the Stones achieved such popularity and why the band remains so popular, what the allure is -- that will have to wait for another article.For now let's just say it was a combination of factors -- the group's legendary wildness and musical savvy mixed with a clear-eyed perspective on pop culture, the music industry and society as a whole.
The current tour includes only a handful of shows scheduled so far in England, France and the U.S. including one at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., Dec. 8 and two at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., Dec. 13 and 15.
But you can bet there'll be a few more. With regular single tickets ranging from about $100 to over $1,000 and merchandise galore on sale at each venue, they are going to be bringing in the cash in truckloads.
The Stones has been preparing for this anniversary by ramping up an onslaught of products in all media, beginning with Keith Richards' juicy and much-praised autobiography, Life, released late in 2010.

The Villa in San Juan Capistrano is one of our favorite venues in Orange County. With all its natural beauty, there isn't much anyone has to do to make a bride feel like she's having her dream wedding!
Have you seen The Villa? There are so many elements that make it so gorgeous from the walkway entrance to the gorgeous offering candles in the chapel!
We used The Villa as inspiration in our centerpieces and the design we added to the venue; all natural and simple to create one cohesive look. We used a simple garland of torn muslin, burlap and ribbon as Sarisa + Ryan's ceremony backdrop and smaller versions of the garland to accent chairs along the aisle. And for our tables and centerpieces, we used simple wooden boxes as vessels and filled them with hydrangea, lisianthus, brunia, astilbe, roses, succulents and gorgeous maidenhair fern. We also had some tables with simple candle pillars with accented moss and succulents.
The details Sarisa added to her day were unreal; so creative, cute and special. Each table setting included simple buttons with her guests' name that gave the feeling of intimacy and care for each of their guests, The bride and groom had a subtle "direction and compass" theme with globes, maps, and simple quotes throughout the venue.
Now onto my favorite part, let's check out the bride + groom's wedding style! I love looking at pictures of our brides and grooms, especially Sarisa and Ryan; you can literally see their love in their eyes!

Our dilemma with Congress
Editor, OBSERVER:
It was reported this week that the House of Representatives worked for only 126 days this year in Washington with 239 days off; passing only 55 bills. The previous least productive House was in 1995 when 88 bills were passed.
Next year's calendar calls for only 114 session days; giving them another two weeks off; or 251 total days off. You may say they work when they are back in their districts but in order to get real work done they must be in session, in Washington. (That last thought kind of made me chuckle).
Now that begs the question: Is all that time off good or bad for the taxpayer? I've got two views on the subject. First: If they are "part time," should they be receiving full-time salary and benefits? Second: Should we not complain about the number of days they spend in Washington as they can do less damage to the country by not being in session.
So many questions, so few answers.

Volunteers Cleaning Stray Dock
Oregon officials have organized a group of volunteers to scrape off, bag up and dispose of the hundreds of millions of marine organisms that hitchhiked aboard a boxcar-sized dock that floated across the Pacific during last year's tsunami.
State Parks and Recreation Department spokesman Chris Havel said Thursday biologists have identified one as a marine algae native to Japan known as wakame (wah-KAH'-may), which has established in Southern California, but not yet Oregon.
That has officials concerned about the spread of invasive species.
The Japanese dock floated ashore Tuesday along the Oregon coast.
Havel says officials have not decided whether to tow it off the beach or cut it up in place for disposal.

No Children Injured In Early-Morning Accident Involving School Bus
GERRY – No children were injured after the school bus they were in was struck by a vehicle Tuesday morning in the town of Gerry.
According to the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office, seven children were on the Cassadaga Valley School bus around 8 a.m. at the intersection of Route 60 and Wilson Road when the accident occurred.
Deputies said a vehicle, operated by a 29-year-old Fredonia man, was stopped behind the bus when another vehicle, operated by Danna L. Neureuther, 19, of Orchard Park, struck the vehicle from behind.
According to a police report, the collision caused the vehicle to strike the bus, operated by a 59-year-old Gerry man.
The Fredonia man complained of shoulder pain and was treated at the scene by Gerry firefighters. Both vehicles sustained significant damage, sheriff's deputies said. The bus received minor damage.
Neureuther allegedly told deputies she was not paying attention and did not see the stopped car in front of her or the bus.
Students on the bus were checked by school personnel, including a school nurse, Cassadaga Valley School Superintendent Scott Smith said.
"Everyone performed their respective duties very well," Smith said later Tuesday afternoon. "At the time of the accident, students did not report any injuries. I have not heard of any injuries as of right now."
Smith said students were bused to Sinclairville Elementary School where their parents picked them up.
Neureuther was charged for following too closely. Additional charges are pending.

The HEPA filter in a Dyson vacuum is an extra safeguard for allergy sufferers. It traps microscopic particles down to 1/5,000 of a pinhead. Particles this small include common household allergens such as pollen, mould spores and dust mite faeces.
At the Dyson Research and Development center, 450 engineers and scientists look for new ways to solve everyday problems. A dedicated microbiology lab plays a vital role.
Here, Dyson microbiologists cultivate and study household allergens. They have a dust mite farm, where they breed house dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus), feeding them a mixture of yeast and dog biscuit and keeping them in their favorite conditions: 77°F and 75%+ relative humidity. They use the allergenic dust mite feces for cyclone and performance testing.
The experiments they carry out help Dyson develop vacuum cleaners that meet asthma & allergy friendly™ certification standards according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
1. Emissions cabinet
Dust is fed into a vacuum, while expelled air is sampled on agar jelly for incubation.
2. Incubator
Mould takes a minimum of 72 hours to form. Bacteria can appear after 24 hours, depending on the species.
3. Colony counting
Microbiologists count the colonies on the jelly. The lower the number, the better the vacuum's filtration.
Dyson uprights and canisters meet or exceed standards for effectively removing allergen-containing dust from carpets. They are certified asthma & allergy friendly™ by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
Dyson vacuums certified asthma & allergy friendly™ are independently tested to the ASP:03:01 Vacuum Cleaner Certification Standard for their ability to reduce allergenic and irritant materials. Tests are carried out on machines to ensure allergy removal remains high throughout use.
Tests cover the removal of allergen-containing test dust from carpets, levels of airborne allergens during vacuuming, filtration integrity, cleaning performance when the bin is almost full, and the risk of allergen exposure during bin emptying. Dyson machines meet or exceed the strict criteria for all these tests.
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America is the leading patient advocacy group for people with asthma and allergic diseases.
For more information, visit www.aafa.org
Dyson upright and canister vacuums are approved by the British Allergy Foundation (BAF). The BAF have also validated Dyson's asthma and allergy research, which helps develop even better technology for removing household allergens.
Dyson upright and canister vacuums are approved by the National Asthma Council Australia's Sensitive Choice program. It helps people make lifestyle choices that may help them manage asthma and allergies better.
Dyson uprights and canisters meet or exceed standards for effectively removing allergen-containing dust from carpets. They are certified asthma & allergy friendly™ by the Asthma Society of Canada™.
Service Allergie Suisse has developed stringent criteria, detailing how allergy vacuums should really work. To gain approval, vacuums must provide constant suction and separation performance to ensure no loss of effectiveness.

Position A.
Jaime Hernandez:
The 2012-P Grover Cleveland Dollar coin design was issued twice in 2012. Grover Cleveland served two different terms as the United States President, therefore, two different Cleveland Presidential Dollar coins were issued by the U.S. Mint.
The first coin struck with Grover Cleveland's portrait had the dual dates of 1885-1889 as well as 22nd President inscribed on the coins design. The second coin issued later in 2012 had the dual dates 1893-1897 and 24th President inscribed on the coin.
Most coins came in very nice quality ranging from about MS63-MS65 grade more or less. Examples in MS66 condition or higher proved a little scarcer, yet obtainable with enough searching. In MS67 condition or higher, they were much tougher to find.

Any cat lover can tell you that owning a cat is vastly different than owning a dog - mostly because the personalities and behavior of these two species is so different. How cats and dogs exhibit pain is one marked difference between the two species, with cats being slightly less forthcoming about it, according to ABC News.
Your independence-loving feline might not be limping right past your nose or whimpering with pain if they are suffering from some type of cat illness. Whether suffering a viral disease like feline calicivirus or joint disease in cats, these pets may seem hesitant to jump or climb and may not be using the litter box. Additionally, sick cats may not be grooming themselves as well as they used to or might be more aggressive or withdrawn than normal. If you notice any of these signs in your feline, you should bring it to a vet clinic to see if there is a serious underlying issue that needs treatment.
Panting can also be a sign of illness in cats. While panting is healthy and common in dogs, cats that are panting should have immediate veterinary attention. While cats may pant from extreme anxiety or physical activity, it is more often a sign of a serious respiratory or cardiovascular issue like COPD in cats or pleural effusion in cats, which occurs when excess fluid surrounds the lungs and impairs breathing, according to VCA Animal Hospitals.

Even though there are only three makers of video game console nowadays - Microsoft Corp., Nintendo and Sony Corp. - the competition on the market is simply cut-throat. It is unlikely that new companies will enter that market successfully, but a vice president of Electronic Arts, one of the largest game publishers, believes that Apple could be successful against current players.
"If it was anyone but Apple, I would say that is going to be very hard. I still think it is going to be extremely hard for them but they have surprised many people before. Look at what they did with the iPhone, right? They are a truly brilliant company so I would give them a relatively good chance to succeed if they tried," said Patrick Soderlund, a vice president at Electronic Arts, in an interview with CVG web-site.
Apple is hardly truly interested in a dedicated gaming device. The company is already selling a massive amount of casual games for iPod, iPhone, iPad and other platforms and while this business may not be as lucrative as Nintendo DS or Sony PSP businesses, it is growing pretty rapidly.
Although Apple is generally a very successful company, not all of its products are successful. The Apple TV set-top-box and Mac mini personal computers got lackluster welcome by the market and so can do a game console.
Apple has not been concentrating on gamers and games in general and it is not that likely that the company changes its mind overnight. Moreover, hardcore gamers do not recognize Apple as a platform for games and will unlikely embrace the platform quickly.
Considering the fact that Apple has never entered well-established markets with brand new products, such as the market of portable and non-portable game consoles, in order to successfully penetrate the console business it will need to offer something undeniably better than available hardware and well ahead of release of future-generation hardware. For example, it will have to wait for Nintendo 3DS and Sony PlayStation Portable 2 and act after their release with an offering that will be much superior.

"Come on, it's not that bad!"
That banner, hanging inside a college suicide prevention center, offers a perfect glimpse at the dry, absurd wisdom of "Damsels in Distress," writer-director Whit Stillman's first movie since 1998's "The Last Days of Disco." His latest is also my favorite from this filmmaker ("Metropolitan," "Barcelona") who repeatedly explores social dynamics and linguistic oddities without a sense that he's failing to expand on previous territory. (Cough, Terrence Malick, cough.)
Sort of a cross between an ironic intellectual exercise and...

The Deal: AMR Confirmation Moves to Sept. 12
Judge Sean Lane of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan on Thursday heard arguments in favor of the plan from counsel to the debtor, unsecured creditors and certain unions before deciding to adjourn the hearing to Sept. 12 to allow the parties to continue preparing for the DOJ suit. The plan is based on an $11 billion merger of AMR and US Airways Group
Lane previously ordered parties in the case to submit briefs in support or against confirmation by Aug. 23.
"The brief satisfies that
"Moving the hearing would needlessly introduce an unwarranted element of uncertainty ... that is neither necessary nor productive to these cases," he added.
"You have the opportunity to quell that uncertainty," Karotkin told the judge.
The April 15 plan would pay secured creditors, administrative claims, priority tax claims and priority claims in full in cash.
Unsecured creditors would receive a pro rata share of new mandatorily convertible preferred stock, while US Airways shareholders would receive 28% of the diluted equity interests in the new company. The remaining 72% would be distributed to unsecured creditors, labor unions, certain employees and holders of AMR equity interests.
Lane approved the disclosure statement for the plan on June 4, and at least 88% of each class of creditors to cast votes on the plan accepted it.
The DoJ, however, filed a lawsuit against the merger on Aug. 13, casting uncertainty on the confirmation proceedings.
The Justice Department filed its own notice on Aug. 23 asserting that despite the suit it does not object to confirmation.
"The United States takes no position as to whether the debtors' plan should be confirmed now, notwithstanding the pendency of the antitrust suit and the attendant risk that a confirmed plan may not be able to become effective for a considerable time, if at all," the DOJ said in court papers.

Planting seeds of pride
TUPPER LAKE – According to Mohawk culture, if you share a story, you become a storyteller.
Last Sunday at The Wild Center, Mohawk storyteller Dave Fadden shared several stories with attendees. He began with a simple story about the importance of treating others with respect, and he used a colorful beadwork pictograph made by his grandfather to illustrate the tale.
The story went something like this:
Once there was a village deep within the forest.
One day, an old man came out of the woods. He was hungry, tired and wearing tattered clothing. The man knocked on the first door he came to, the one with the turtle clan symbol above the door, and asked for food and shelter. He was turned away.
Feeling desperate, the man continued to the next house, and then he continued on to every house in the village, but no one would let him in.
When the man finally reached the last house, he was more tired and hungry than ever, but he hadn't given up hope. He knocked on the door beneath the bear clan symbol, and the woman who answered welcomed him inside. She called him grandfather, fed him, made him new clothes and told him to stay. She told the man that he honored her by being her guest, and he soon became an adopted member of the family.
One day the man became ill, and he told the woman to go into the woods and retrieve a plant. She followed his instructions on where to find the plant and when she returned, the old man taught her how to use it to make medicine.
The man became sick again and again, and each time he told her to retrieve a different plant and taught her how to make medicine from it, until he had been stricken by every ailment known to people at that time.
One day the old man died and a bright light appeared. It frightened the woman until a figure within the light explained that he was the Creator. The Creator told the woman that he had ventured forth on Earth as an old man to see if people still remembered his teachings. In return for the woman's unabashed kindness and generosity, he taught her the ways of medicine. The Creator said from that day forward, her tribe would forever be known as the medicine tribe.
Dave became a storyteller 20 years ago. After he told the story about the old man, he pulled a sweet flag root from his pocket and explained that he chews on it to soothe his throat while he tells stories. He explained that there are still some who remember how to make many traditional Mohawk medicines, but a lot of that knowledge has been lost.
Dave's journey of becoming a storyteller began by being a good listener. He now lives in Akwesasne, but he grew up in Onchiota, where he spent countless hours listening to his grandfather, Ray, recite stories. Ray's tales had a profound effect on Dave, who still remembers them so well that he now passes them on to others.
"He would tell you stories that would make you laugh, and some that would make you very scared, too," Dave recalled.
Ray's stories weren't just for entertainment, though. Many of them had powerful messages regarding how people should respect and care for each other and the Earth. Since the Mohawk culture doesn't have a written language, some stories were doubly important because they recalled Mohawk history. A lot of that history was lost as native people were forcefully assimilated into European culture and beliefs.
"One way to assimilate people is to start with the children," Dave said. "There was a program where they put our children into boarding schools to make them conform to Western society. They took away their language, their clothing and they cut their hair to make them conform to what they believed was right. They made them learn to read and write English. Those children lost their sense of pride in who they were. What my grandfather was doing was replanting that seed of pride in young Mohawk kids."
Replanting pride in native culture was not something that was universally accepted. Ray sought to change that, to give his people a sense of who they are and where the came from.
Ray taught school on the Tuscarora Indian Reservation near Niagara Falls until he moved, after which he began teaching at the Mohawk School in Hogansburg on the Akwesasne Reservation. Since teaching Mohawk culture was forbidden, Ray would put a student in the hallway to keep watch for administrators while he told stories.
"He grew up during a time when it was really bad," Dave said. "He took it upon himself to make a difference, to change the viewpoint most people had about Native Americans."
Dave said the effect of people like his grandfather is more evident today than when he was younger. He said modern-day educators are beginning to teach Mohawk culture, and in the schools, Mohawk art lines the hallways and young people are beginning to learn and speak the Mohawk language again.
"You have to realize that the school systems in the United States and Canada, when it pertains to native peoples, are very limited," Dave said. "In fact, I find it's very lacking. When I went to school many years ago, all I remember learning is that we had corn. Our culture is actually so rich and so vast, it would take the whole high school four years just to learn a fraction of it."
The push to reclaim Native Americans' history and culture isn't just about educating Mohawks. Dave said he'd like everyone to understand how his people have been a part of United States history.
"I'm excited educators today are learning more about our culture to teach non-natives," Dave said. "There are still a lot of stereotypes that exist out in the world. Those stereotypes and that prejudice, it all stems from lack of education, from ignorance. Most people don't have the knowledge, and most of the knowledge they do have is inaccurate. Most of the knowledge they get is from John Wayne movies, and that isn't accurate."
And then there are the stories. They spring from every corner of life, and in Mohawk culture there seems to be a lesson in everything. Even Mohawk names are indicative of the people they represent.
Here's how it works: In Mohawk culture, the eldest woman on the mother's side names all of the babies. In Dave's family, that responsibility belonged to his great grandmother.
Dave's Mohawk name is Kanietakeron, which means patches of snow. On the day Dave was born, his great-grandmother looked out of the window and saw patches of snow on the ground that were left over from a winter thaw. Kanietakeron was a name that fit.
Dave's older brother's Mohawk name is Tehonatake, which means two towns. When he was born, the family moved from Akwesasne to Onchiota. They were traveling back and forth a lot, so in a sense, he lived in two towns. Tehonatake's name represents the first years of his life.
Dave's younger brother's Mohawk name is Kanetiio, a name that means beautiful pines. He was born at the Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake and named after the pines that line the shores of Lake Colby across the street.
Dave explained that women have a prominent role in Mohawk society. They are the only ones who can nominate a chief, who is a man. Since the women always put the men into power, they can also take that power away if the man does something that negatively affects his family or his nation.
"In Mohawk culture, women have always had a voice," Fadden said. "Women didn't have a voice here until 1924. Our people were so free. Individual freedom, even now we're not free in society. Our people were absolutely free, and that's what the European settlers were seeking. We were here, and we had an influence. Once you have that acknowledgment and respect you can begin to work together and get along. We want to be more than a footnote in history books."
Fadden helps run the Six Nations Indian Museum in Onchiota. It was founded by Ray, Christine and John Fadden in the summer of 1954.
The museum contains more than 3,000 artifacts from the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy: Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora. There is also an art gallery on site that includes some of Dave's paintings. His work is also on display in the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. and New York City.
The Six Nations Indian Museum is open July and August, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. It is also open by appointment to groups in June and September.

It so happens that there's currently an active debate on blog trolling and how to deal with it.
The current discussion was motivated by the proposal of a blogger "code of conduct" in order to manage the virulent antagonism that often goes on in blog comment threads, when, from the anonymity of a keyboard, people are free to dehumanize those with whom they disagree and give vent to the most egregious forms of hatefulness their little minds can muster. This proposal, involving such quaint and silly concepts as "seals of approval," like you might find on a can of beans, is just a teensy bit on the absurd side and has led to criticisms from such prominent bloggers as John Scalzi and Kos.
Scalzi makes the most sound points: that, for one, there really is no such thing as the "blogosphere" as any kind of enforceable entity. When we refer to the "blogosphere," we are referring in the abstract to the social phenomenon of blogging itself. To say that there's any kind of uniform "code of conduct" that one can apply, let alone enforce, to what is essentially people setting down their thoughts on whatever subjects interest them is naive and foolish. And as for hateful and trollish commenters, there are many options available to blog owners: you can ban, you can disemvowel (as PZ Myers does), or you can moderate as I have chosen to do. As Scalzi notes:
…the reason that we're now at a point where some self-appointed guardians of the discourse have decided it's necessary to tell the rest of us slobs how to talk to each other is that people apparently forgot they have the right on their own sites to tell obnoxious dickheads to shut the hell up. Honestly, I don't know what to say to that, other than I'm sorry that other people's muddled-headed conception of what "free speech" is has allowed obnoxious dickheads to run free in blogs, and allowed busybodies to wring their hands in the New York Times about how mean the blogosphere is. It's idiotic.
What the blog world needs is not a universal "Code of Conduct"; what it needs is for people to remind themselves that deleting comments from obnoxious dickheads is a good thing. It's simple: if someone's an obnoxious dickhead, then pop! goes their comment. You don't even have to explain why, although it is always fun to do so. The commenter will either learn to abide by your rules, or they will go away. Either way, your problem is solved. You don't need community policing or a code of conduct to make it happen. You just do it.
You'd think this would be simple, but at times, there are folks who are unprepared for just how extreme trolls can get. One incident cited as a motivator for the "code of conduct" idea had to do with death threats received by blogger Kathy Sierra, some of which included distressing Photoshopped images of her. Certainly this behavior is alarming to someone who's never seen it before, and who would be understandably bewildered and horrified that such sick responses could be made to the mere expression of an opinion. But Kos made the following point:
Look, if you blog, and blog about controversial shit, you'll get idiotic emails. Most of the time, said "death threats" don't even exist evidenced by the fact that the crying bloggers and journalists always fail to produce said "death threats"…. For my part, I've gotten my fair share of such vile emails. Some of them have threatened my children. One or two actually crossed the line into "death threat" territory. But so what? It's not as if those cowards will actually act on their threats…. Email makes it easy for stupid people to send stupid emails to public figures. If they can't handle a little heat in their email inbox, then really, they should try another line of work. Because no "blogger code of conduct" will scare away psycho losers with access to email.
Kos's response might seem too glib, but I think he has a point. There are people out there in the world who are emotionally and intellectually incapable of dealing with the fact that some folks have opinions which differ from their own. The more strident and dogmatic their views (hello, religion), the less able they are to handle differing opinions maturely and rationally. They fly into rages. Unable to form a counter-argument and take down the other person with clear facts, they go berserk, sometimes making death threats.
However, as Michael Newdow (who's had more than his share of death threats) stated when he was here in Austin as guest of the ACA, these threats can most often be dismissed as idiots simply venting because they haven't got the tools between their ears to do anything other. When I was hosting the AE TV show we got at least two overt death threats over the phone I can remember, and several more threats of a lesser nature (mere beatings, those). And while we were always common-sensibly cautious, we didn't take them seriously. These were simply fools venting like the fools they were.
Which is why I think PZ has overreacted in criticizing Kos for the above statements.
Is Kos really so tone-deaf that he doesn't realize he has just sided with people who threatened to slit Sierra's throat and rape her corpse?
…This is not the time to act snotty and superior towards the target of online hate; I know that we get inured to the petty, vicious stupidity of some of the worst of the web (yes, I get death threats too, and some of them are nastily explicit), but what the kind of ugliness directed at Sierra ought to do is wake us up out of that take-it-for-granted attitude and get us motivated to shine more light on the cockroaches. It is not appropriate to encourage the roaches by acting as if the problem is Kathy Sierra's too-fragile hide — it isn't. We all ought to be outraged when some no-name faux-macho cretin writes to us and tells us to shut up or he'll shoot us in the head. There is the problem, the eliminationist assholes who thrive under the encouragement of AM talk radio, admire the posturing bullies like Limbaugh and Coulter and Savage, and think homicidal sexual fantasies are manly.
Well, for one thing, I don't think that Kos was blaming the victim. He was simply pointing out a fact: state controversial opinions in public, and expect to take some abuse from assholes. If you haven't got skin thick enough for it, then perhaps you ought to choose a different hobby than the public expression of controversial views. In other words…heat, kitchen, all that.
PZ may be right in saying that you encourage asshole trolls by letting them know their vile behavior can shut you up. But PZ should also know trolls seek the outrage he advocates. This is the thing about trolls: in their minds, they win no matter how you respond. If you ignore them, they call you cowardly. If you ban them, they call you cowardly. If you get angry with them and slam them back twice as hard, they laugh to know they ruined your day and got under your skin. If you try to engage them respectfully, they just amp up their reprehensible behavior until you do decide you've had enough and get angry, at which point they declare victory. Remember, it's never about the equitable exchanging of views with trolls. It's just about their stroking their little egos the only way they know how, through hurting and attacking others. It's the behavior of people who never matured past playground scuffles at recess in 5th grade.
So Scalzi's advice is the best. Remember that your blog is your blog and you get to make the rules, just as you get to set rules for guests visiting your home and are entirely within your rights to throw them out if they break the furniture or shit on the rug. For idiots who want to whine that moderating or banning offen
sive commenters constitutes some kind of free speech violation, all I can say is "pull your head out." Their free speech is never at risk, because no one's stopping them from starting their own blogs.
Confront us, challenge us, debate with us, critique us, disagree with us all you like. I'm happy to have you here. Once you descend to the level of playground bullying and emotionally unhinged raving, you're gone. And I'm not sweating it.

Earlier this week, individuals and organizations around the world commemorated International Day of UN Peacekeepers May 29. In recognition of that day, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said, "I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to all the men and women who serve in United Nations peacekeeping operations around the world and to honor the memory of those who have lost their lives in the cause of peace… Since the first UN peacekeeping mission which was created on this day sixty-four years ago, civilian and military personnel have served under the UN flag in 67 operations around the world. Because of their work, the world is safer and more secure. The United States is committed to UN peacekeeping operations, and to a more peaceful world."
International Day of UN Peacekeepers is an occasion to salute the 120,000 peacekeepers currently serving in some of the world's most volatile and dangerous environments. Our "Photo of the Week", taken by Public Affairs Specialist at U.S. Army South Arwen Consaul and posted to U.S. Embassy Santiago's Flickr page, shows soldiers working together to get through an obstacle course during the Junior Leaders Training at Fort Aguayo, Chile on April 3, 2012. Junior Leaders is part of the annual exercise, Peacekeeping Operations-Americas, conducted between U.S. Army South and the Chilean Joint Staff. Students from 17 participating countries participated in classroom studies, learning about the UN peacekeeping doctrine, and then completed training to build trust and teamwork. Ultimately, the Junior Leaders Training will provide platoon-level training to about 80 multinational students in areas of policing, military operations on urban terrain, convoy movements, crowd control, and helicopter tactics, all of which are related to UN peacekeeping operations.

Traditionally, the reaching of a next round number in the specification of any PC device is considered a great achievement. The first 1GHz processor, the first 1GB memory module, the first 1TB hard disk. Alas, this is not the same with power supplies. While the memory amount and the CPU frequency have their own practical worth because they allow a faster and better execution of ever more sophisticated computing tasks, the PSU is only needed to service the other system components. It cannot do anything on its own. Thus, the release of 1000W power supplies does not mean your games will be running faster or anything, but only that the air exhausted from your system case will be warmer now.
There is one rule that describes the difference between the goal and the means in a succinct and clear way: you don't want a hammer, but you want the nail in the wall. The hammer is just a means to get the nail into the wall, acceptable as far as there is no other, better, means. Yet the goal is the nail rather than the process of hammering it in. A 10kg hammer wouldn't be an achievement of the hammer maker. It would only be a trouble if you tried to bang nails in with it.
The same goes for power supplies. A high-wattage PSU is only a means rather than a goal. It is the means to power the PC up. So, a 1000W PSU should not be considered an achievement. It is rather an inevitable evil – nails have become so big these days that you do need a 10kg hammer to hang a picture on the wall.
A natural question, are such high-wattage PSUs really necessary? If yes, in what particular conditions? To answer that question we measured power consumption of two very advanced PC configurations.
AMD-based system was configured like follows:
- Two Athlon 64 FX-74 3.0GHz CPUs
- Two Foxconn GeForce 8800GTX graphics cards in SLI mode
- ASUS L1N64-SLI WS mainboard (Dual Socket 1207, NVIDIA nForce 680a SLI)
- 2GB DDR2-800 SDRAM (Mushkin XP2-6400PRO, 4 x 512MB)
- Two Western Digital WD1500AHFD hard disk drives in a RAID0
- Various trifles like a DVD-ROM, fans, etc
Intel-based system:
- Quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6700 CPU (Kentsfield) overclocked to 3.5GHz
- Two Foxconn GeForce 8800GTX graphics cards in SLI mode
- ASUS Striker Extreme mainboard (LGA775, NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI)
- 2GB DDR2-800 SDRAM (Mushkin XP2-6400PRO, 4 x 512MB)
- Two Western Digital WD1500AHFD hard disk drives in a RAID0
- Various trifles like a DVD-ROM, fans, etc
We installed Windows XP SP2 on these systems and ran Stress Prime 2004 / Orthos for the CPU and 3DMark 2006 for the graphics card; these two programs were running simultaneously in the third test mode. Here are the PSU power consumption numbers (using a Tagan TurboJet TG1100-U96; we measured its power draw from the wall outlet and multiplied the result by this PSU's efficiency factor, about 0.83):
What do we see? A powerful gaming system with an overclocked CPU and running two applications that put a heavy load on the CPU and both graphics cards simultaneously consumes less than 450W from the power supply! Even the dual-core 4x4 platform from AMD, which is not even a viable solution for home use but rather a concept so as to respond somehow to Intel's quad-core CPUs, has a peak power draw of just over 600W!
So, it is all clear here: a power supply with wattage higher than 600-700W is not necessary for a powerful gaming system unless you are into such things as Peltier coolers, etc.

The only studio album I've got by Ringo (I also have an All Starr live album). Paul plays bass and does some backing vocals on three or four of the songs, and George plays slide guitar somewhere too. Never all three together though.
La De Da was the main single, it's a typical Ringo singalong song, w/ Paul on backing vocals, along with Alanis Morissette and Steven Tyler. Not a great song, but fun.
He even covered Love Me Do, because he George Martin didn't want him to do the drumming on the original. Sounds pretty good.
I don't have any other albums by Ringo, so I can't compare them. Is it better or worse than his regular solo work?

Facility is thanked
I would like to express my appreciation and thanks to the staff, board and volunteers at the Beacon House in Marquette.
As a cancer patient undergoing multiple treatments and appointments with major expenses, I learned I needed to go to Marquette General Hospital for two weeks to finish my treatment with radiation. This was two hours one way to travel from my home.
We were directed to the Beacon House as a potential place to stay. The staff at Marquette General called Kellie Barry-Angeli, the Beacon House director, to tour the facility that same day. By the end of the tour Kelly had a room set up for us to stay for two weeks beginning the following Monday.
The staff and volunteers welcomed my daughter and I and made it a home away from home. We met many wonderful people and were treated like family.
The facility has a great kitchen where we could cook as well as comfortable lounges to relax in. I encourage all to continue to support this fantastic organization!

VMware vSphere 6.0, the industry leading virtualization platform, lets you virtualize applications with confidence, redefines availability and simplifies the virtual data center. Users can also combine vSphere's industry-leading virtualization technology with vRealize Operations Standard to further deliver consistent management, purpose-built to get the best performance, availability and efficiency from your infrastructure and applications. vRealize Log Insight for vCenter Server (lite version) can now also be added to collect and analyze log data.
Learn what's new in the vSphere 6.0 platform.
If you're not on the latest version of vSphere, see which features have changed with each version.Comparison between editions
See the highlights the new features/capabilities provided with each release in this PDF.Learn more
The upgrade of your environment to VMware vSphere 6.0 is performed in a phased manner. The components that are upgraded in earlier phases are fully compatible with components whose upgrades have not yet occurred.
Before starting this phase, make note of any other VMware solutions associated with your environment, such as vCloud Director (vCD) and Site Recovery Manager (SRM), and use the VMware Product Interoperability Matrix to determine which versions of these solutions are compatible with vCenter Server 6.0. In-place upgrades to vCenter 6.0 are supported from vCenter versions 5.0 and above. Alternatively, you can choose to do a clean installation of vCenter 6.0.
Additional Resources:
This may be done in a rolling manner, with individual hosts in a cluster successively updated after virtual machines are migrated using vSphere vMotion to the other running hosts. By doing so, you can upgrade your vSphere hosts while avoiding virtual machine downtime. In-place host upgrades to ESXi version 6.0 are supported from vSphere hosts running ESXi 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5. Optionally, you may choose to do a clean installation of vSphere 6.0. Upgrade methods for upgrading your vSphere hosts include using the ESXi Installer, the ESXCLI command from within the ESXi Shell, vSphere Update Manager and Auto Deploy.
Additional Resources (Still valid for vSphere 6):
vSphere 6.0 provides an extended support matrix that allows older versions of VMware Tools and older virtual hardware versions to continue to run in a supported configuration on newer versions of ESXi. This extended support matrix facilitates vSphere upgrades by allowing you to upgrade your vCenter Server and ESXi hosts right away followed by a phased upgrade of your virtual machines over time. vSphere 6.0 supports running virtual machines with VMware Tools version 4.x, 5.x and 6.0 as well as Virtual Hardware versions 4, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Virtual machines need to be powered off to be upgraded, so you should plan appropriate outage windows for this step. You can perform an orchestrated upgrade of virtual machines with vSphere Update Manager, which allows you to upgrade VMware Tools and virtual hardware at the same time.
Additional Resources (Still valid for vSphere 6):
VMware Tools Upgrade Flowchart:
Virtual machines running newer versions of VMware Tools are supported on older ESXi 5.x hosts. Refer to the vSphere compatibility matrix for more information.
Virtual Hardware Upgrade Flowchart:
Newer virtual hardware versions are not backward compatible with older ESX/ESXi hosts. Care should be taken to only upgrade virtual hardware after all vSphere hosts have been upgraded to ESXi 6.0. Refer to the vSphere compatibility matrix for more information.
The final step is to upgrade your datastores to vSphere VMFS version 5. This can be done with live virtual machines running on the datastores and do not require any virtual machine downtime. vSphere 6.0 fully supports datastores with VMFS version 3, so the datastore upgrade may be scheduled at a time that's convenient for you.
When upgrading VMFS 3 volumes to VMFS 5, the upgraded VMFS-5 volume retains the partition characteristics of the original VMFS-3 datastore. For large VMFS volumes on shared storage consider creating a new VMFS 5 volume and using Storage vMotion to migrate the data.
Additional Resources:
The final step is to install additional management solutions that integrate with vCenter Server and provide capabilities for monitoring and planning. Consult the product documentation for vRealize Log Insight and vRealize Operations to see how to deploy these products.
Additional Resources:
You must obtain new licenses to deploy VMware vSphere 6.0. Existing VMware vSphere 4.x and vSphere 5.x licenses will not work on vSphere 6.0.
Licenses will be upgraded to the new version according to these rules:
To upgrade a product to the new version:
The system deactivates your current license for you. The new licenses are delivered in the same folder as the original license key. If any quantities of the current key remain un-upgraded, new licenses keys are generated for the remaining portion of the current product and be displayed in the confirmation process.
The ability to upgrade a license key depends on:
If you cannot upgrade, contact the Super User associated with that particular account or VMware Support.
Expected Timeframe to Receive Your vSphere License Keys
Upgrades will be available on the portal shortly after VMware vSphere 6.0 becomes generally available. All license keys with active support and subscription contracts with an end date on or after General Availability are eligible for an upgrade.
Preparing for Your License Upgrade
To ensure a problem-free license upgrade, VMware requests your cooperation in verifying that your license and subscription data are correct. Please take the time to review your account and contact Support if the information is not consistent with your expectation. If corrections are needed it is preferable to make them prior to the delivery of your VMware vSphere 6.0 licenses.
1. Review Your Support Contracts
Go to Support Contract History under Account after logging into My VMware and, using the same login, review your support contracts. Review the status and end-dates of all contracts that contain vSphere 5.x and vCenter 5.x components. If some contracts are expired or have an end-date before the General Availability (GA) date for vSphere 6.0, you will not be eligible to upgrade your licenses to VMware vSphere 6.0 for the quantities on those contracts. To request a renewal or reinstatement of contracts, use the Request Quote button in the Support Contract Details page.
2. Verify Your Role
Go to Account > User & Permissions after logging into My VMware and verify your permission on each of the folders.
The ability to upgrade a license key depends on:
On the date a new version of a product becomes available, you will receive an alert that you are entitled to the new version of your current product. (see Upgrade Eligibility above). The Super User of the account has the ability to grant and remove permissions on the folder.
Version Downgrade
Downgrading from vSphere 6.0 to a previous version of vSphere 5.x
Enter the quantity of licenses you want to downgrade. You can select all or a few licenses. This number should be one or more and up to the total number of license keys that are eligible for downgrade.
Further Licensing Questions
For additional questions related to licensing, contact Support.

Topic: Ajax Form for in-place editing
okay one more design question ..
I have a page with a list of some objects each with edit link and
a form to create a new object through an Ajax call.
If I click on the edit link an ajax request fetches the form to edit
this object.
It works, but I wanted to ask if this is the right way of doing this:
1) I have a partial _form.rhtml for both, the new and the edit form, this
is done with remote_form_for obj and it either gets obj.new or the related object and
builts a put or post form.
2) I added a route :member { :formfor => :post } and use a link_to_remote to this
method (with the obj ID) and a .rjs for this method inserts the form.
I could also use :member { :edit => :post } to use the edit method for this if I'm right..
But I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do this.
3) since I use the same _form.rhtml for both forms, new and edit, and both forms are displayed
at the same time on the page when editing an object, how can I somehow create different
ID's for each form?
Something like a dynamic id parameter in _form.rhtml ..
if someone has some hints or corrections, thank you

Thanks for detailing what you did JLP. I always appreciate a lot of info. A few questions. What brand & strength of flour did you use? Was it BF or HG? Bleached or bromated?
Thanks for the info JLP. So this is categorized as a Sicilian style which is also different from a Pizza Romana? Excuse my ignorance, can you (or anyone else) explain the differences to me. They look similar though I'm sure they are different in some respects. Is one just an Italian or Roman version of the other?Thanks,Chau

A few years ago in Pilot magazine I wrote an article in which I waxed nostalgic about logbooks from both a personal and a historical perspective. The gist of that story was the handwritten logs are much more personal and have far more meaning than a bunch of entries on a computer spreadsheet. While I was willing then, and still am today, to acknowledge the convenience and accuracy of electronic logbooks, I still prefer the handwritten ones. And I still caution against anything that is produced using flowing electrons.
I recently got a call from a friend of mine who was looking for some help in recovering flight records from our airline computer. Our old system kept records for three years; our new one only keeps them for six months. This fellow had been using a PDA-style device that had a popular logbook program on it. He was able to update it leg-by-leg in real time, and do so quickly without having to worry about forgetting details such as IMC time, approach used, etc. Further, he did not have to worry about making math errors that he might miss for months or even years.
But he also got caught be a reliance on the computer. Twice, the unit crashed, and a total of five months of his records were lost. He is now in the unenviable position of having to figure out a way to fill in as many of the blanks as possible while also figuring out the best way to explain his predicament when it comes time to interview for a job. It's easy to blame him (I did!) for not making back-up copies and printing out the critical information he might need. But it's also worth learning a lesson from him, even for those that use a paper log like myself.
A few years ago, I was working on mine, and realized that I had made some math errors that were difficult to find—with more than 10,000 hours of flight time at the time, it was a tedious process. What I wound up doing—and what I recommend to others with paper logs—is creating a simple Excel spreadsheet that mimics the pages in my log. Once I found the errors, I made a note in the paper log explaining the corrections made to my totals and why they were there. From that point on, I used my spreadsheet to do all of my computations before writing them in my paper log. Granted, I can not look up how many hours in a particular 152 I flew on night cross-country flights in IMC, but when it comes to the meaty, need-to-know stuff, I can look that up in a flash without having my actual logbook in front of me. I keep a copy of that file on both my laptop and my home PC.
Other steps you can take to minimize lost-record headache include taking a digital photo or making a copy of your logbook every month (or every so many pages or so many hours flown); at an airline you can print out a copy of every trip that you fly when you are done so that you have company record of your work. This likely won't have aircraft numbers, that day/night breakdown, or some of the people you flew with, but it's far better than nothing. Something else that helps is accurately filling out your FAA 8710 form. When you take a checkride, you must put down the hours appropriate to the rating that you are applying for. But you can go beyond that. Fill out every block you can, and do so accurately. If you are a CFI, fill out the same blocks when you are renewing your certificate, even though this step isn't required. Should you ever need them to, the folks in Oklahoma City can send you a copy of your most recent 8710, thus providing an official back-up to your logbook.
Accurate logs are critical, especially in light of the changes coming as a result of the Colgan accident in Buffalo. If you want to fly professionally, keep in mind that your logbook makes a huge impression on the person interviewing you. Find out ahead of time if the company you are applying to has a policy on what type of logs they will readily accept, and if you insist on using an electronic logbook, don't get caught like my friend did. Back it up, print it out, and keep it safe. You'll be glad you did.

The electricity industry is essential to all sectors of our nation's economic life, more so now than ever before. Preserving the mission of the grid, which is delivering safe, reliable electrical energy at an economically-viable cost, is the primary task of all operators and service providers. From smart meters to smart appliances to more intelligent control of distribution, transmission, and generation, an advanced grid offers the potential of improved utilization of all generation and storage resources, increased operational efficiency and reliability, and enhanced opportunity for customers to make choices about energy use.
A more interconnected, automated, and information-rich electricity delivery system also provides the opportunity to deliver a safer and more reliable interoperation, and to mitigate threats to the grid and electric user's privacy from accidental and intentional harm. The Smart Grid Policy Center defines interoperability as "the seamless, end-to-end connectivity of hardware and software from end-use devices through the T&D system to the power source, enhancing the coordination of energy flows with real-time information and analysis". The GridWise Alliance believes that with sound planning, thorough design, and coordinated execution, a safe, secure, and reliable smart grid can be achieved. Interoperability and cybersecurity policies and legislation, and the resulting guidelines and standards will play a critical role in realizing a transformed electric grid.

Niagara Hydropower to Help Bring 25 New Jobs to Lockport Abrasives Company
July 27, 2004
MASSENA—A total of 25 new jobs will be created in the City of Lockport thanks to an allocation of low-cost hydropower approved Tuesday by the New York Power Authority Trustees to help make possible the relocation of an Illinois manufacturing and distribution facility operated by Duraline Pres-On Abrasives. Additional job creation support was provided through a $75,000 Capital Grant from Empire State Development.
"The allocation of this low-cost power from the New York Power Authority's (NYPA) Niagara Power Project is another example of the aggressive efforts under Governor George E. Pataki to create new jobs and promote economic development in Western New York," said Louis P. Ciminelli, NYPA chairman. "More than 45,000 jobs in the region are linked to Niagara power, with the allocation to Duraline the latest example of the hydroelectric project's critical importance to the area."
The NYPA trustees approved an allocation of 150 kilowatts (kw) from a 250,000-kilowatt (kw) block of Niagara power known as expansion power, reserved for businesses and industries within 30 miles of the project switchyard. (A second, larger block of Niagara power, called replacement power, is similarly assigned to Western New York businesses.)
Duraline is a privately-owned business, started in 1992, that makes coated abrasive products for power tools, construction equipment, floor refinishing and various other purposes. The company is purchasing a 30,000-square-foot building on Niagara Street in Lockport and plans to invest $625,000 in the new facility, relocating the manufacturing equipment from its Addison, Ill., plant to the new location. The company also owns a plant on Mill Street in Lockport.
The new facility is expected to enhance Duraline's ability to serve abrasive users in the Eastern and Central regions of the U.S. and Canada.
"Low-cost hydropower along with Empire State Development's grant were both important factors in Duraline's decision to expand its operations in Lockport," said State Senator George D. Maziarz. "The story has become a familiar one for Western New York, with the Niagara project absolutely essential to the success of more than 100 of the region's businesses and industries, not to mention tens of thousands of jobs."
"Providing low-cost electricity means businesses can grow and prosper--and retain and create jobs. The Niagara project, which provides some of the lowest-cost electricity in New York State, may be the best example," said Charles A. Gargano, chairman, Empire State Development (ESD). "Governor Pataki is making sure that Western New York companies like Duraline are allocated the power they need as soon as possible."
"ESD is providing a $75,000 Capital Grant to assist Duraline in renovating the facility to accommodate additional manufacturing operations. The grant made it possible for the company to move to Western New York," Gargano added.
Late last year, members of a Western New York group, including NYPA and ESD, signed a memorandum of understanding for allocations of leftover Niagara power on a continuous basis to maximize the economic development benefits of the 2,400,000-kilowatt project. The other members of the Western New York Advisory Group are the Buffalo Niagara Enterprise, Niagara County and Niagara Mohawk.
Since the agreement, a total of 20 Western New York companies have received allocations, promising to create 2,174 jobs, including the 25 at Duraline.

Some of the more recent studies are putting it as high as 2X the legal blood alcohol level. Ask any MADD mom. Would you feel any better if your kid was killed by someone on a cell phone instead of a drunk? The kid is just as dead and the pain would be just as unbearable. The hard line taken against drunk drivers has been very effective and yet cell phone/text messaging seems to be tolerated in many areas, although it is changing! There was a phone-in on CNN asking for solutions to prevent texting while driving. There were all sorts of hi tech solutions suggested to prevent the practice, but no one seemed to think that the solution is already in existence. Just treat it exactly the same as impaired driving with all the same penalties and social stigma. One thing worries me and that is the fact that "hands free" devices are still considered OK. Most of the same studies conclude that the risk is pretty well the same as a hand held device. If you see some one using a handheld then at least you can see it and expect them to do something stupid, while hands free devices don't provide the same warning. I think that the only reason that hands free phones are exempt is the fact that it's just too hard to spot and enforce. It will have to get better when the ban is complete as I think that so many drivers want to be seen as the phone is an affectation and they want to look important. Facing a ticket, a fine and possible demit may well take some of the shine off it! It's going to be interesting to see if driving accidents reduce once the law is in operation (October 26th in Ontario). Just my mini-rant!

All you would have to do is add phone circuitry that disconnects incoming and outgoing signals when the internal GPS detects motion above a certain mph or kph. Of course, folks would argue that this would prevent private automobile or mass transit passengers from making calls, but with nearly 7 billion people in the world, I'm sure at least one mind would think of a solution to this new "problem". Of course, my alternative would be a driver air bag that transforms into a 12" pointed dagger whenever the driver's cellphone is being used, but that's just me.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Thisissilly A unique and quality product. I purchased these for a friend in Glasgow. My friend's husband was prescribed compression socks and the only ones they could get were white. He called when he received these. My friend searched in Glasgow and could not find any like these. They were very well received and marveled at the quality and how much better they felt than the white ones he had been wearing. My husband and I have used these for several years when we travel on extended fights. They are comfortable and have worn well. September 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TravelEd Sockwell Compression Socks Good fit, high quality socks made in USA. They are meant to help circulation on long flights where one might be sitting for extended periods, however they are very comfortable and could even be worn for daily wear. November 5, 2014

But, it is the elite, trail-running owners of Charlottesville Running Company and Bad to the Bone Endurance Sports, Francesca Conte, 38, and J. Russell Gill, 47, that have worked to place Charlottesville on the trail-running map.
Conte and Gill have racked up impressive trail-running performances over the years, currently coach other runners, host a weekly fitness radio show and volunteer for trail-protection foundations. In 2001, they began directing trail-running events and founded Bad to the Bone Endurance Sports.
Says Gill, "The proximity to the Blue Ridge Mountains, combined with the Charlottesville City trail system, make for a varied trail-running experience."
On September 24, 2011, Gill and Conte plan to show off their "playground" at the first annual Trail Runner Ultra Race of Champions (UROC), when many of the best ultra trail runners join trail runners of all levels to compete in a 100K showdown.
Q&A with Conte and Gill
How has trail running been integrated into Charlottesville daily life and how has this helped the community?
Conte: The [Charlottesville] trail-running community not only runs on trails, but actively builds and maintains them.
Gill: We founded the Charlottesville Trail Running Club, a group that not only organizes trail-running events but works to build and maintain trails, and started the Great Eastern Trail Series. Both brought more awareness to local trails. And people came into Charlottesville Running Company to learn about trail running here.
What has been your primary involvement and work within the Rivanna Trail Foundation?
Conte: I have been part of the [Rivanna Trail Foundation] Board for four years and lead trail-work parties and help organize major events, such as National Trails Day. My motivation is purely selfish—trails are one of the things I use and love the most.
What sets UROC apart from other trail races in the country?
Conte: The mission to bring together the best athletes is something common in other sports, but not in ultrarunning, and we feel this is way overdue. Ultrarunning is a growing sport and we created UROC to help propel it into a new era—bringing in more races and resources for elite athletes.

The End Of Gourmet, The Demise Of An Old Friend, And My Shattered Heart
Contributing Monkie Sarma Melngailis
Published on November 18, 2012
Section GreenChef Foodie Talk
Comments 6
Looking back at the demise of something so dear to my heart. I wrote this post last year as the end was blaring out of the TV, but something this big this important should be shouted from the roof tops, so here is my tribute to not just a magazine, but to an old friend, who for reasons beyond belief, is no longer with us.
Why? Why why why…? It was October 5th 2009, about two weeks ago, I was at the gym, on the treadmill. Loud music blasting in my iPod earphones, CNN on the screen in front of me, both meant to distract me from dwelling on the fact that I'm running on a conveyor belt alongside other people running on conveyor belts. Then I saw it. An image on the TV screen of the cover of the latest issue of Gourmet magazine, and the printed headline, "Gourmet magazine closes after 70 years." WHAT!? No Way! How is that possible? I'm frantically looking around, for… what… ? I think I was expecting others must have seen this headline and also stopped running out of shock and disbelief, like me. I was thinking I'd see people hugging, comforting one another over the news, shaking their heads. But no, I only saw people still running, pedaling, and the usual sea of heads bobbing up and down in the elliptical section.
I couldn't keep going. I had to know what happened, so I ran home and checked online and yes, indeed, Conde Nast was shutting down Gourmet. Along with 3 other titles: a cookie magazine and two bridal magazines. I don't get it. Isn't there another silly magazine they could shut down? How about Golf World or Golf Digest? Does the world really need both? (or either?) Immediately I emailed my Mom, my Stepmom, and chef Neal, among others, like "OMG, did you hear???" They too were saddened. I wanted to call people and talk about it. I wanted to pull out a bottle of good wine and sit on the floor with all my old issues spread out around me, flipping through them and getting drunk and nostalgic.

text: Synchrophasor technologies can monitor electrical conditions across regional transmission grids and deliver that information to operators and reliability coordinators. Deployment of these technologies is revolutionary for two reasons. First, phasor measurement units (PMUs) record power system data 30-to-120 times per second, which is more than 100 times faster than current technologies. Second, each PMU time-stamps every measurement it takes, enabling all data to be synchronized across large regions of the country. This data can be used to create in-depth "pictures" of operating conditions on the grid and enable operators to detect disturbances that would have been impossible to see in the past. Some experts have compared synchrophasor technologies to "MRIs" for the transmission system because of the detailed operational pictures they can provide. Synchrophasor data are being used for forensic analysis of grid disturbances, because the detailed, time-synchronized data allow investigators to immediately understand grid conditions before, during, and after the event and diagnose its causes.
