If you want to watch MTV, you have to pay for ESPN, even if you don't want to watch sports, and a lot of cable customers don't like it. In the cable TV business, it's called bundling. Now, the government of Canada is requiring cable companies to take those bundles apart. NPR's Mandelit del Barco reports on why that is unlikely to happen in the U.S.
MANDALIT DEL BARCO, BYLINE: Channel surfing in, say, Montreal, you can find everything from American TV sitcoms to shows in French.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (French spoken)
UNDIENTIFIED MAN: ( French spoken)
BARCO: To local talk shows...
MOLLY: Welcome to "Chai With Molly."
BARCO: And cooking with the Wolfman on the Aboriginal People's Television Network.
BARCO: Canadians will soon have more choices in how to pay their cable bills. This week their government announced it will require cable and satellite TV service providers to offer what's known as a la carte pricing. Here's Canada's industry minister James Moore on CTV News.
JAMES MOORE: We don't think it's right for Canadians to have to pay for bundled television channels that they don't watch. We want to unbundle television channels and allow Canadians to pick and pay for the specific television channels that they want.
BARCO: The a la carte TV idea has been talked about for years in the U.S., but industry analyst Craig Moffett says it's unlikely to be replicated south of the Canadian border.
CRAIG MOFFETT: Unless you just blow up the whole business model - and look, there's plenty of people that would happily push the detonator themselves, but it's much, much easier said than done.
BARCO: Moffett says for one thing, cable companies and networks in the U.S. have complicated distribution agreements and First Amendment rights to run businesses the way they want. And politicians have been reluctant to regulate them, says analyst Howard Homenoff, especially if unbundling turns out to be more expensive for consumers.
HOWARD HOMENOFF: They'd be paying most likely far more on a per-channel basis than they would under the bundle today.
BARCO: For years, civil rights groups and independent programmers have feared that unbundling would wipe out the diverse smaller networks that are included in cable packages. They've argued that BET, for example, might never have had a chance to start up in an a la carte model. But Joe Torres of the public interest group Free Press says unbundling might actually be a good thing for communities of color.
JOE TORRES: I think this would be a boost to independent programming and diverse programming. I can have the ability of the public to choose me, instead of having to rely on corporate cable gatekeepers to decide whether you're going to carry me or not.
BARCO: Torres says by watching shows online whenever they want, viewers already are living in an a la carte world. Mandalit Del Barco, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

|There's an easy way to get away from the posers and brats at Indian Creek: MY GOODNESS, PEOPLE, GET THE HELL AWAY FROM SUPERCRACK BUTTRESS!! There's a million Supercrack's at the Creek. I've never understood why everyone flocks to that one cliff, when the Creek is unfathomably huge! Personally I get as far away from that buttress as I can.

I have an actual question:
There's a route on Battle of the Bulge, between Crack Attack and the Big Baby (closer to Crack Attack) that's not in my guidebook. It's about 50-60' long it's a black left facing corner/open book (wider than 90 degrees) It starts thin fingers, then gets tighter and tighter until you have to stem and use some pods. I'm pretty certain it's in the 5.12-12+ range. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks

I asked about camping areas at Indian Creek on the climbingboulder.com mailing list, and thought I'd add the reply posts, since the intro to Indian Creek description has poor descriptions of the various places. First reply was from Steve "Crusher" Bartlett:
2. The Super Bowl camping area is located on the left, just before thesignposted turn-off for Davis Canyon (access for the Six-shooters). This is about 11 miles from Newspaper Rock, on the left. I've not seen this area for a couple years. It had a portable toilet, and was easy to access back then. Should still be the same.
3. Other camping areas include:Newspaper Rock, which is often busy, but is nice and shady, and has pittoilets. The Hamburger Rock area is a mile or so past the Davis Canyon turn-off (maybe15 miles from Newspaper Rock) and is on the right. Look for a large wooded BLM sign, with directions. This is an easy 2WD mile or so off of the main road, and is usually frequented by hikers, and is usually ignored by climbers (kind of a long commute from the climbing). There are pit toilets here.There is also undeveloped camping within Cottonwood Canyon beyond the Dugout Ranch area to the southwest (near Pistol Whipped Wall). Also along Davis Canyon Road, but this road becomes very rough, very quickly.
4. There are two areas which are currently designated as No Camping: a. The inner canyon area between Newspaper Rock and the Dugout Ranch/Reservoir.This includes the side-canyons. b. The Lavender Canyon area. This is the pristine area beyond the BridgerJacks, extending along the west side of the Bridger Jack Mesa.**************** An add-on by H.R. Barnard

I was just wondering about summer weather, is it too hot to climb, or is it possible to find relief in the shade on some of the walls? Also, a little bit more specific: what are the best months, ok months, and worse months to climb at indian creek. I appreciate the Help.

|The best months at the Creek are fall and spring March through mid-May and mid-September through November. The unfortunate thing about the Creek for summer climbing is that most of the walls face South. However, there are a few excellent walls which get plenty of shade: Reservoir Wall and 4x4 Wall come to mind as the best.

just wondering if anybody has info on a couple routes we did this weekend. the two routes we did were side by side, and they were between dusty trails to nowhere and coyote essence.
the left hand route went up the right side of a flake on great hands and then burrows into a sweet squeeze chimney. the squeeze is capped by a hand crack that quickly tapers to a lieback to get to the anchors. (5.9 until layback topout, maybe 10b, approx 80 feet).
the right hand route (about 15 feet to the right) was pretty low angle. it started with a finger lieback to get onto a small pedestal. then it was low angled ringlocks and tight hands for a ways. finally, there is kind of an angled slot/recess with tight hands (this part is steeper). (maybe 10b or so, approx 60 feet?)
thanks for the info. both routes were excellent.

|Question! Might anyone recall the names of the two newish routes just left of the Optimator (yes, on the Optimator Wall)? The farthest left is an easier 5.12 in a right-facing corner, I believe containing thw word 'red' in its short name, and the other begins with a bouldery start. Anyway, they are fun routes, if you haven't made it over there, and for whatever reason it's nagging me that I can't recall the names.

A note for 1st ascensionists from an ARI volunteer who has replaced stacks of anchors in the creek.
Some guidelines to consider for new anchors:
1. Use deep half inch bolts when possible (a power drill drills a better hole, and even though it is heavy on the hike, it can drop in a 4 1/2 X 1/2 inch hole in about 15 seconds).
2.Three eighths is your second choice.
3. Leave the baby angles at home. I have cleaned these antiquated things with embarrassingly little effort. They are difficult to place, anyway, even by experienced drillers (hence the ones sticking out an inch from the wall). Besides, they are more expensive than expansion bolts.
4. Use steel anchors. Webbing is visually gross and wears out quickly becoming unsafe. There are many cheap options at your local hardware store.
5. Camo the anchors. Every hardware store carries a brown primer that is exactly the color of windgate.
5. Make the link to the rope replaceable without having to replace the entire setup (ie: screwlinks or old biners).
A major complaint against climbers in indian creek and across the country is the visual impact of bolts and anchors, so this is an access issue and a safety issue.
Finally, those of you who carry a bolt kit for beefing up anchors, consider carrying enough gear to replace the entire thing with steel hardware and good bolts. This will avoid creating those confusing rats nest anchors that we always see out there. If one out of every one hundred parties replaced one anchor, the place would be cleaned up in no time.

PS: If you put up routes with single bolt anchors, you're cheap and lazy.

|Last week I went up and climbed the wonderful Whales Back on Technicolor Wall and noticed a new route to the right of it with 3 shiny new bolts on a prow to the right of a flair. What really bothered me about it was the name of the route SILVER LINING scribed on the wall. I like plaques, they can be attractive and artistic but scribing on the wall itself is not only defacing the rock but is a ticket to having IC closed for climbing. All it takes is one pissed off Native American working with the BLM to shut it down, with good reason. Choss Boy

From the Redds of Indian Creek 12/07/08...
...As you know, one of our dogs is missing from the Dugout Ranch (aka Indian Creek area). Please forward this email to anyone who may be able to help.
"Jack" is a female Kelpie/Boxer cross, with distinctive black and white markings and a couple brown spots on her cheek. (pictures attached) She is a very sweet, affectionate and friendly dog who went missing shortly before Thanksgiving. Jack's brother was picked up by a female rock climber on 11/23 and was TAKEN to Moab. This climber kept our dog for a week before reporting it to the Humane Society, where I finally tracked him down on 12/3.
Jack is unfortunately still missing. She was wearing a brown leather collar with a brass nameplate riveted to it that clearly stated she lives at Dugout Ranch, along with all our contact information.
If anyone has any information at all, or someone in town has s dog matching her description, please contact us at this email or leave a message at 435-459-0018 . Feel free to email if you have any questions or need more information.
Also, I thought you should know this is not the first time this has happened. Perhaps if we can get the word out, this type of thing will happen less frequently. I am planning to post flyers at the kiosks down here as well.
Please advise people: If you see a "stray" dog at Indian Creek, bring it to the ranch to ask before you make any assumptions. The bottom line: you are climbing and camping on private and leased property, where these dogs live and work daily. Please have some common sense. Our dogs are very friendly and will not forgo attention! Because they let you pet them (or feed them!) does not mean they are strays.
Thank you,

|Larry, the perpetrator to said inscribing is a well known desert hermit (whose name rhymes with ralph). I doubt he spends much time on MP, so you might have to track him down in the field. While his practice of "inscribing" route names might not be the best idea, keep in mind that he has done a lot of work for Technicolor Wall, including building a trail.

Just got back from a long labor day weekend in the Creek. NOBODY was there! All the popular camping and climbing was wide open. The weather was perfect as long as you stayed out of direct sun. I don't think that I saw more than one or two cars parked at Supercrack Buttress all weekend long!
Imagine showing up at Supercrack Buttress mid day on a saturday and having your pick of any climb!?! Yeah, that's how it was.

|After reading some stuff hear I thought our visit might be similar to surfing at one of So Cals hot breaks where fistfights are not uncommon. But as usual the climbers we met were great mostly friendly and really courteous. If they had a rope hanging and you wanted to lead the route. Even on the weekend when Cat Wall had a ton of cars and a lot of climbers it was busy but not unpleasant. Wait I mean it really sucked everyone had an attitude and the whole trip sucked.:)

hey ya bunch of sand eating cam horders, i'm thinking about trying to organize the unnamed/unknown/newly-renamed routes a bit so that it is easier to find them when you are at the cliff. for example the 'unknown' 5.11 on the far left side of battle of the bulge buttress would be renamed 'unknown 5.11 RF corner with 2 bolts'. etc.
Curious to see if anybody has any heartburn about it, if not i will try to get started on some of the smaller walls first. this will probably take some trial and error, so if i muff one up feel free to criticize/slander accordingly.
also, i am going to try to go through and merge duplicate entries. this might take a while.

Here goes, the fall rain is settling in on the NW for a few months so I will tackle this subject that has been nagging at me for 10 years or so.
I am only looking at BD Camalots to keep it simple.
I used to think it was the transition from old to new Camalots, but I find that even with the newer books there are discrepancies.
Supertopo 2013 Optimal C4 range sizes:
.3 - 3/4"
.4- 1"
.5 - 1 1/4"
.75- 1 1/2- 1 3/4"
#1 - 1 3/4 -2"
#2 - 2- 2 1/2"
#3- 3- 3 1/2"
#4 - 3 1/2- 4 1/2"
#5 - 4 1/2- 5 1/2"
#6 - 5 1/2 -7"
Actual Optimal C4 range sizes:
.3 - 5/8"
.4 - 3/4"
.5 - 1"
.75 - 1 1/4"
#1 -1 9/16'
#2 - 1 15/16"
#3 - 2 11/16"
#4 - 3 7/16"
#5 - 4 5/8'
#6 - 6"
Some might object that I am including 1/16", but you will see that even without the 1/16" the numbers are way off. I measured the cams working range too, but am just including the sweet spot, best position placement. I usually try to figure out for myself what cams are needed for any given pitch, but since Supertopo suggests rack sizes for routes this might confuse a few newer leaders.
I add this here because the Bloom books have the sizes sometimes off too.

Anyone have information on climbing shops nearby or some beta for finding partners while in the area? Cheers
- in case anyone else needs this beta the nearest climbing shop is in Moab. Aprox. one hour drive from climbing areas.

If you've never climbed here before, you're in for a truly unique experience.
As the guidebook outlines, spring and fall are the best-bet weather times in general, although the high dessert climate can be fickle at any point in those seasons - for example, in two trips during the same March week 2 years in a row, I experienced low-70s F highs one year and low-40s F highs the next year. Check and monitor climbingweather.com/Utah/India... to be prepared, and give the rock at least 24 hours to dry after any rainfall.
A great tactic for a first visit is to borrow up multiple racks of cams (literally up to 8-10 sets of #.5-#4 cams is ideal to cover all climbs), and come with friends who've been here before and can do all or most of the leading, as the learning curve can be steep and you can easily spend a whole first trip flailing and frustrated. Instead, consider just starting with a top roping spree and working on different hand sizes and jam sequences ("swimming", "karate chopping", thumbs-down and thumbs-up jams, "fat hands" and fists) until you've cultivated the ability to trust your jams, rest on your toes, and cleanly toprope most of the climbs you can get on through 5.10/5.10+. Obviously, the usual caveats about sharing climbs thoughtfully and only top-roping off your draws/biners should apply.
Then go home and digest the outstanding Crack Climber's Technique Manual:
and come back the next trip to try and lead what you top-roped the first trip.
For the third trip, maybe start dipping into crack sizes that aren't good fits for your hands (#1 cracks if you're big-handed, or #2-#3 cracks if you're small-handed), and so on.
I definitely had a lot more fun on 2nd and 3rd trips than I did the first, so approach this place with patience and you'll definitely be rewarded.

Bulbous AromaticusMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
"Check it out," John said to his friend, Detective Sing, over dinner one night. "For a mere $5,000 I could purchase one of the rarest annuals around, Bulbous Aromaticus.
"I was talking to a horticulturist, and she said she was willing to sell me one of the plants and then, each year when it flowered, she told me I could sell the seeds myself. Given the rarity of this particular plant, I could make a fortune!"
"Save your money," said Detective Sing. "This horticulturist is a fraud."
How did he know?
AnswerAn annual is a plant which only lives through one year, before dying off, which any horticulturist would know.
While John may have been able to harvest the seeds after the first year, and attempt to regrow another plant in a later year, he certainly couldn't use the same plant for a number of years running.

Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain. Most often, it is caused by one of several different viruses. The most common are the herpes viruses, childhood viruses such as measles, and viruses you get through a mosquito bite.
There are two types of encephalitis -- primary and secondary. In primary encephalitis, a virus attacks the brain and spinal cord directly. In secondary or postinfectious encephalitis, the virus invades another part of your body and travels to your brain. The virus causes inflammation of the nerve cells (encephalitis) or the surrounding membranes (meningitis). Encephalitis is different from meningitis, but these two brain infections often happen together.
Most cases of encephalitis are mild and don't last long. However, in some cases encephalitis can be life threatening. About 10,000 - 20,000 cases of encephalitis are reported each year in the United States.
Arboviruses, or viruses carried by insects, are some of the most common causes of viral encephalitis. Some of the major arboviruses carried by mosquitoes include:
Other viruses that commonly cause viral encephalitis include:
Not all cases of encephalitis are caused by viruses. Some other causes of encephalitis include:
The following factors may increase your risk of becoming infected with viral encephalitis:
Encephalitis is a serious condition, so you should see a doctor if you or your child start having symptoms. You are usually diagnosed and treated in a hospital at first. After doing a physical exam, a doctor may take the following steps to diagnose the condition:
The best way to prevent encephalitis is to avoid getting viruses that cause it:
Viral encephalitis is a serious medical condition. Although there are no specific medications to treat it, people with symptoms are often given the antiviral medication acyclovir (Zovirax). It works against herpes simplex and varicella-zoster viruses.
Complementary and alternative therapies have not been studied very much for the treatment of encephalitis. But some studies indicate that scalp acupuncture, along with the right medication, may help the healing process.
Treatment includes careful observation and rest, proper nutrition, and fluids, to allow the body to fight the infection. You should always see your doctor if you have symptoms of encephalitis. Don't try to treat yourself.
Always tell your health care provider about the herbs and supplements you are using or considering using, as some supplements may interfere with other medicines.
Medications used to treat viral encephalitis include:
There aren't any vitamins or supplements that relieve the symptoms of encephalitis. However, following these tips may help your overall health as you recover:
These supplements may also help improve your overall health:
Herbs may strengthen and tone the body's systems. As with any therapy, you should work with your health care provider to get your problem diagnosed before starting any treatment. You may use herbs as dried extracts (capsules, powders, teas), glycerites (glycerine extracts), or tinctures (alcohol extracts). Unless otherwise indicated, you should make teas with 1 tsp. herb per cup of hot water. Steep covered 5 - 10 minutes for leaf or flowers, and 10 - 20 minutes for roots. Drink 2 - 4 cups per day.
No herbs have been shown to help treat encephalitis. These herbs may help strengthen the immune system. Ask your doctor before taking them:
A study of a small number of people with complications from encephalitis suggests that acupuncture on the scalp may reduce severe complications and symptoms. Some practitioners believe that scalp acupuncture works for people with encephalitis because all meridians converge at the head, and the method can stimulate and regulate qi (energy) throughout the entire body. More research is needed.
Most cases of encephalitis in newborns are caused by when the baby passes through the birth canal of a mother who is infected with herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). This infection in newborns is often severe and fatal. Pregnant women with a history of HSV-2 infection may be advised to have a cesarean section, even if there is no sign of an active infection.
Full recovery from encephalitis can take weeks or months. People recovering from serious cases may have complications ranging from fatigue and trouble concentrating to tremors and personality changes.
The most severe problems from encephalitis come from the destruction of nerve cells in the brain. How severe the complications are depends on the person's immune system -- whether it is healthy or weak -- and what infection caused the encephalitis. For example, many of those infected with Eastern equine encephalitis and St. Louis encephalitis have permanent brain damage, including problems with memory, speech, vision, hearing, muscle control, and sensation, and a low survival rate. Those infected with Epstein-Barr or varicella zoster rarely have any serious complications.
Most cases of encephalitis are mild and people make a full recovery.

Start Stop: The new way of keeping us interested?
by, 01-30-2013 at 11:58 PM (2849 Views)
Start and stop:
Do you remember back in the day when Brett and Shawn historically feuded over a span of years? Or when Hogan and Andre battled it out?
Why were those feuds so memorable? What did they have that is lacking today? Well here it is; They were believable.
Far too often in todays market the WWE expects us, "the universe" to believe that two guys hate each other simply because one is a "good guy" and one is a "bad guy". Far too often they expect us to buy into the fact that two guys want to rip each others eyes out because Booker T made a match. Worst of all they expect us to buy in to it by spending money on it.
Shawn and Marty worked because you could see it coming. Shawn was outgrowing him, it made for a perfect feud. Years together compromised by egos and jealousy. Brett and Shawn worked because they were intertwined from day one. They crossed paths in the tag team scene, and again as IC champs at one point being tied for most reigns at 3 each. On the world title scene we believed they hated each other not just because they actually did but because the story behind why they might hate each other made sense. Vince and Steve wasn't about swearing, or Austin 3:16. We didnt believe it because we all hate our bosses, it worked because we believed a guy like Steve could actually hate his. Even the tag teams made sense, they were built on guys mutually feuding with the same group or individual. The mutual hatred brought people together.
Now rather then moving with the flow of the story we are given the story. No back ground, no build up and no reason behind it. People are put together on tag teams just for the sake of them being on TV. Why were Cody and Damien put together? Wouldnt it have been better if there was a reason behind it? Or even the Prime Time Players? No reason... Hell even if you just said "because they are black and black people stick together" we may have bought that but instead they are just given a cheesey gimmick and forced to run with it. Wouldnt it make more sense if there was a reason Del Rio was feuding with Big Show? Ya sure he beat Big Show for his title but why did that match ever happen? Why did Christian fight Cody? Why did Miz fight Christian? Why did Kofi fight Miz? And why did Barett fight Kofi? Because they held the title... Well of course. But thats only going to hold my attention for about 5 minutes. Does anybody wonder if Kofi still hates Barett (kayfabe of course) because i sure would. Id certainly buy into the idea that Kofi still would. Instead the creative team just has Kofi move onto somebody new as if Baraett never existed. Then the WWE will have to create another feud for Barett out of nowhere to try to keep us interested.
Stop the Start and Stop. Let things flow naturally, let them build up over months...

32-12 last year
We were 32-12 after this many games last season, we peaked at 37-15 before finishing 11-19, and we ended the year at 48-34.
Yeah...and some piston fan just tried to tell me that we are going to fall apart again
ignorant people
If you're interested in mid-season accomplishments, I think one comparison that might be interested is the high point of last season.
2003 February 14th. 37-15. A 22 game W-L differential.
2004 January 20th. 33-11. A 22 game W-L differential.
If we truly are a much better team this year, the momentum will continue and we will far exceed a 22 game W-L differential.
I'm banking on at least 39-14 by February 14th, with the All-Star game on the 15th. It's a decent bet we could see 40 wins by the All-Star break.
Pacers peaked record wse last season at 33-12, they then lost 3 out of 4 goiong into the allstar break, then won three staright coming out of the allstar break to go 37-15.
Pacers are what I like to call

Having a summer job has its obvious benefits, like having some extra money in your pocket for the little pleasures of life. Working at the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art gives you some chunk change and then some…
I enjoyed working at the Oglethorpe Museum because we had (and still have) some of the most interesting exhibitions, but, unfortunately, not enough people know about them. For example, while I worked there, we hosted the Southeastern Pastel Society Juried Exhibition until June 27, and Utrillo: The Magic of Monmartre through Sept. 5 of 2010.
When we were hanging the pastels, I was delighted to see artists from Atlanta, St. Simon's Island, and Woodstock, Georgia. We have seen exhibitions from around the world, but nothing is more fun than to see artists who live right around the corner. I sometimes forget that great art isn't always the highbrow work that appeals to the esoteric elite, but great art appeals to anyone who is willing to look.
One of my favorite pieces from the exhibit is called "The Blue Motorcycle" by J. Kay Gordon from Marshall, North Carolina. The painting is a close up of the chrome parts of a motorcycle where you can see a reflection of a pristine, all-American, baby blue motorcycle. I love the distortion the artist used in the painting. You can see the blue motorcycle through different perspectives, and it's amazing to see the swirls and curves of a warped motorcycle. The Pastels Exhibition was a collection of different artists who use pastels distinctive to each of their styles. It was refreshing to see a medium used differently in one collection.
I am an admirer of art who loves to learn from artists and other art enthusiasts. The wonderful members of the Pastel Society volunteered to have an artist paint each weekday while the exhibition was up. Even someone as shy and awkward as me asked them questions about their work, and they were more than happy to talk about pastels. Ms. Betsy Cozine, who painted "Tulips in the Spring," took me to one of her colleague's paintings and described what she loved about his technique. I also talked to Junko Ono Rothwell from Atlanta, who painted "Sand Dunes in October", about working with pastels.
We also had another exhibition called Utrillo: The Magic of Monmartre which showcases artwork of Maurice Utrillo, one of the last artists born in the bohemian Monmartre of Paris. He is said to be one of the last impressionists, and this collection had never before been seen in public, which made this our little gem. Although I love impressionism, I think I enjoy the backstory on Utrillo most of all. He was born to a model who worked for several Impressionists such as Degas and Renoir, but his real father is unknown. Utrillo was somewhat of a mystery child until another painter, Miguel Utrillo, claimed him as his own. 20th century debauchery is so much fun.

Brite Ties for the Win of Marketer of the Year 2012
Victor, N.Y.- The Rochester American Marketing Association Marketer of the Year Ceremony has named Brite Computers as Marketer of the Year 2012! The title is shared by Carestream Health as all the judges' scores rated both companies highest over all 14 finalists.
RAMA annually recognizes area companies in three award categories: Turn Around/Start-up Marketer of the Year, Non-Profit Marketer of the Year and Online Marketer of the Year. Judging is based on points reviewing the business situation, objective, strategy, tactics and most importantly results. The overall Marketer of the Year is chosen by the highest scoring entry. Both Brite and Carestream Health received the highest scores, right down to the decimal point!
Brite submitted its application for Marketer of the Year after completing a comprehensive re-branding in September 2011. The new brand positioned itself in the market as a strong provider of computing infrastructure, data security and professional services in the B-to-B community. The company is staffed with dedicated experts laden with industry certifications and seasoned with technical computer infrastructure implementations at some of the leading companies in the region, but the previous messaging did not adequately convey the caliber of professionalism and dedication Brite has as a partner to its customers. The re-branding included a newly crafted brand promise, messaging, website, marketing materials, tradeshow booth, signage and new vehicle wraps.
About Brite: Brite is a full systems integrator and consultancy focused on providing IT solutions that allow customers to achieve their business goals and objectives. In business since 1983, Brite is a privately held organization dedicated to delighting customers. By listening to customers, their team of Account Managers, Engineers, and Consultants deliver IT solutions with tangible and measurable return on investment.

Good morning Masters! Saturday: 16 miles. Enjoyed a great evening Friday night with RWOL members Lynda and Joanne and their traveling partner from PA, Marie @ Buca di Beppo. We ran in the Capital City Half Marathon yesterday morning while Joanne did the quarter half [6.55 miles]. All of us finished and I'll post a race report when I get the pixs. Foot is a little cranky today and the race took a lot out of me, not sure if I'll run later. We'll see. Have a great day!
Nowhere Fast ~ SunDAILIES!
Sign signaling the distance from our aid station @ The Capital City Half Marathon.
Good morning masters
16.6 miles with my friend on a frosty (in places) morning.......perfect
It always seems to go by so quickly
Have a great day friends....work hard
Absolutely no problem whatsoever. The thought never crossed my mind. In fact, I had to go back to see what you were referencing.
I can see how you may've misinterpreted my post though and I thank you for the kind consideration (salute)
Cyber-space can present challenges at times :-)
Good day Masters,
Nice Moth. Can't wait to see pics.
Night ran 16+ also. wow great mileage
for me 5th day of streak, and first time in forever that I have 5 days in a row "with run."
To be honest I was little reserved putting on my shoes, and the first quarter mile or so I felt like his might be a bad idea, but what's a mile ya know. By the time I could see my marker, I realized I felt good to run as active recovery.
First mile was slowest of the week @ 9:53!! Sore from Bridge/hill haha yesterday. Total run 3.3 miles
came in did ab day 2, 50 lunges on each leg, jump rope to fail
lifting weights with my son today (chest/back), he turns 18 and wants to press his first 200!
Thanks for having me!
Gship--- I read the whole thing. What a great race right. I also stop at porta if needed. It is a refresher, when needed. The cheering is so great o read about, and for you to wait for ryan. Inspiring repory. thanks for taking the time to write that.
guess I need to go back a day and see stuff. Lots of peeps said things to me too. I did tell the family abut the phone, and they just called me Blonde!. The phone was off. It's really rebox fault for making those crappy shoes. I had only wore those once or twice and they were just spares in the corner of my office. omg- enuf about the shoe hahaha
Have a fantastic Sunday all
Another nice sunny day in NO. I need to slather on the sunscreen 'cause I burned my arms yesterday.
No run this morning, slept in instead. Will get out for a walk in the French Quarter , though.
Ciao for now,
Good morning Masters! On this day in sports history at least three cool things happened:
1. Babe Ruth hit his first Major League home run. It was in Yankee Stadium off of NY Yankee pitcher Jack Warhop. (Ruth was playing for the Red Sox.)
2. Willie Mays was born.
3. Roger Bannister became the first person in history to run a mile in under four minutes.
I am going to trail run today. Have a great day Masters!
Moth: Congrats on another HM in the books! Good luck with your foot!
nightbefore: Nice 16.6! You have to love a LR that goes by fast due to good company!
Flyin: Nice recovery run! Way cool that you get to lift with your son on his 18th birthday! Happy Birthday to him!
Elizabeth: Have fun in NO! Who have you seen so far at Jazz Fest? Who have you enjoyed the most?
Wolfman: I hope all is well on your planet!
Charlie Pro: Good morning to you!
Morning masters. Let me try one more time from the home computer to see if my whole post will post. If it doesn't work matbe I will have to try individual posts.
Moth sounds like a nice weekend you have had so far. Hope the last day goes by just as swell.
NB4- Great to hear that you and the friend had a very enjoyable distance this morning. Thanks for the special thought you gave to my son yesterday regarding his first communion today. It should be a special day for him. I would like to think that he realizes exactly what this day means but I'm sure it will be a few more years before he truly understands what today is. But I will say that this year the "Bible" series that played on the history channel at Easter time I think gave the kids a better understanding of some things seeing it instead of just reading or hearing about it. Again thanks for the thoughts.
Flyinfree- I never had the chance yet but welcome to the masters. Congrats on the 5 day streak. Sounds like a strong son you have there.
Elizabeth- glad the weather has turned out so nice for the final days of your stay here. Hopefully some of the mud dries up and the smell isn't to bad from it. Enjoy the day and use your sunscreen.
Tony- good morning to you. I'm sure you have some trail you are going to explore later. Have a great day.
Me- no running just running around today. Trying to get things in order before my son's first communion later today. They have a big group of kids so they are having their own special mass for them. I am glad because doing it during the regular mass, the church just isn't big enough to hold everybody.
Gship- I read your whole report in the daily yesterday and congrats. Sounds like a good race until the end. I like the way you reeled in someone and after a bathroom break was able to reel them in again. Glad you had someone to share some of the distance with at times.
Well here goes the submit reply button, hope it works
It worked today
Thanks for starting, MothAudio, I will be interested in reading about your half.
NB4, I am glad to see you were able to get your LR in. Neuroma OK at this point?
congrats on day 5 of the "the streak", FlyinFree
GShip, very nice work on the marathon and the detailed race report. Sounds like you did well in a challenging race. 3:29 is a great time for less than ideal training. A small marathon like that sounds fun.
This is my last full day in ABQ. I am heading out soon for a long run, and then plenty of family activities. Thanks for the comments yesterday to treasure the time, walking the 5k with my Mom. This was good advice to remember, and the whole experience was nice. I am trying to get her in the walking habit, and so have been insisting we head out for a walk every afternoon.
Earlier I tried to post some pictures to illustrate the fine running along the irrigation ditches. I will try again.
Hey y'all, will be heading out for a lunch run shortly. Drill weekend, but less busy than last month. Yesterday two of our squadrons did some after hours PT; I joined the AMXS (Aircraft Maintenance Squadron) one. The guys set it up themselves and it was good. Warmup followed by having everyone run a lap. After the lap there was a core exercise for 30 seconds then an upper body exercise for 30 seconds, then run the 2nd lap....through 6 laps (the PT test run is 1.5 miles) and a last core/upper body work. Very well done and was able to accommodate different levels of fitness. So I got in about 7 miles total. Not sure how much I'll get today. Finish the duty day then drive home.
Not sure if I posted yesterday (thought I had but can't see it now). Did have my annual "physical" yesterday. My BP from the machine was 136/87--very high for me. I asked for a manual check and it was 112/76 (with a heart rate of 47 bpm). Rather than white coat syndrome, I think the machines aren't as good as we think....
dfbourg, congrats to ds! I think you are quite right about the Bible series. Confirmation candidates should see it also. Glad you are progressing well!
TonyM, some pretty cool events there. Have a good trail run!
Liz, glad there's some sun somewhere! Sounds like you're having fun.
FiF, congrats on the streak! From my perspective my recovery days are whatever the body comfortably gives me. Nice run today.
NB4, so good to read that your friend is continuing to progress! Nice run this morning.
Moth, congrats on the half and looking forward to the RR. Hope the foot is nothing.
gship, congratulations on your marathon yesterday! Really enjoyed the RR.
jbyram2, hope today went great for you!
BOSNPM, the moving thing does sound a bit ridiculous for 2 weeks. Definitely another great thing about DS#2 going to school locally!
George, some great runs recently for you.
EIB, Got the repaired M&P .22 back and tested it yesterday. Looks like they got it.
Shouts to Liney, LC, TC, fittest and everyone else (sorry, got to get back to my duties). Have a great day everyone.
rcl, sounds like a great time in ABQ. And you can add me to the list of folks regarding your mom.
ok so now my post needs to be approved by administration first, alrighty then.
Well since I'm not having faith that my post will ever post but when they do the whole thing is at least showing up I'll try it again.
Rcl- your post yesterday walking the 5k with your mom brought a smile to my face. I never had the chance to do that since my mom passed away before I started running. But i know if she was still here, she would had enjoyed doing the same with me. Thanks for helping me remember the past yesterday.
Falcon- I stated that you are a smart man that knows his body better than the machines do. Great job on not getting excited and proving the machine wasn't right. Also sounds like a good workout for you and the group. Thanks for your thoughts on my son. I agree that the kids going through confirmation should see it as well and probably needs to see it. At that age they are the ones that feels the universe revolves around them.
Greetings Masters,
8.4 miles this morning in 1:12:10 @ 8:36 pace. Looked familiar and same as yesterdays pace. Sun was out today and made for a quiet Sunday morning run.
gship - nice work on reaching your B goal. Looks like you paced it right and had a little at the end. Nice to make friends during a race.
tww - looks like we could of ran together yesterday - nice run.
Moth - hope the leg feels better - waiting for the race report.
Falcon - nice work yesterday and a have a nice lunchtime run. Read your post regarding the gatorade, thank you. Runs are feeling better, just a little slow, will keep working.
Rick - safe travels. Have a strong long run this afternoon.
dfbourg - congrats to DS. Will be headed out to my cousin's daughter's First Communion this afternoon.
Tony - have a nice trail run. Willie Mays was one of the best ballplayers in history.
FlyinFree - congrats on the streak. Have a good workout with DS.
Elizabeth - enjoy your time in NO. Hope you have a good restaurant lined up for later today.
NB4 - great to hear you were out with your friend this morning. Very nice run of 16.6 miles.
Wear Your Seat Belt!!! Sad weekend here. Brother-in-law's nephew (20years old) died in a car accident yesterday afternoon. His friend was driving his car while he was sleeping (finished finals Friday afternoon) in the back seat without the seatbelt buckled. They were driving back to the Chicago suburbs with two other friends from Indiana University along I65. The car had a blow out on the passenger side and the driver compensated but the the car flipped a couple times and he was ejected from the car. The car eventually landed on him. Two other passengers had their seatbelt on and should be fine physically. The driver did not have his seatbelt on and was ejected as well, in critical condition. Later on as traffic was backed up, two miles back, a car slowed. Another car not seeing the slowed traffic ran into another car causing it to flip and killing the passenger, a 51 year old mother. The drivers of those two cars were 20 year old students and they were wearing their seat belts.
Be Well.....
ok so now my post needs to be approved by administration first, alrighty then.
I've received that message, along with a few others, ONCE. And I believe my post immediately posted. Maybe it had something to do with the spam filter.
Dfbourg, I am glad that your post went through.. the site does seem a little hinky. My post this morning was "held for review" and then eventually was posted more than an hour later.
FalconFixer, the PT sounds like a good idea. I also think the BP machines give variable results.
Great runs both days of the weekend, George.
I am just back from my run of 15.8 miles at 8:10 pace. This was pushing the pace some for me, but I won't be able to run the next couple of days, and so tried a little harder.
Posted by Rick (Maine):
"NB4, I am glad to see you were able to get your LR in. Neuroma OK at this point?"
I'm definitely seeing improvement. Lots of stuff going on and I'm not about to rush back to a full open gait just yet.
I've progressed to the point where I can walk barefooted in the house (carefully) if I opt to. On the "run" I have not felt the presence of the neuroma in the least. These are two very positive signs. But my "runs" are very cut-back in nature and I'm not really getting into it with my feet the way I normally would.
The verdict should come sometime this week when I open things to a quick and then quicker effort. Once the gait opens a bit that will be the deciding factor. Also, I need to be aware of downhill running right now so that's another factor. I may go to the track to eliminate this variable....or not. I'm just playing it all be ear right now.
I''m not in a shoe that I can yet trust so that adds to the situation. Like I said, lots going on and I'm not going to rush things.
I can tell you one thing for certain... I'm enjoying the heck out of these outings even though they're relaxed.
Thanks for asking and have a safe trip back to home. Great weather here right now.
Rcl-Enjoy the family time. That brought a smile to my face when I seen you walking the 5k with your mom. I never had the chance to do that since my mom passed away before I started running but I know if she was still here she would have enjoyed having me do something like that with her. Thanks for remember some things from the past.
Falcon- Now that is what you call a man that knows his body asking for the manual reading. Sounds like a good workout yesterday with the group. Thanks to you also on my son's day and I agree confirmation classes might actually need to see it more. It's at their age they start believing the universe revolves around them.
Rick (Maine):
I'm finally getting around to commenting on your post regarding your possible slowing of times. You questioned yourself as to whether you were slowing or not. At that time I told you I'd give you more feedback when I had time.
In a nutshell my answer to you is "yes".
Now I could stop right there and go and watch the Red Sox but telling you why I feel you're slowing is more fun. BTW, the reason I'm answering your question here and not on another thread is because of the friendship and camaraderie that exists here. I'll be backing my answer with numbers and how they applied to me. You and I both are in agreement that number are very important. I'll try to put the numbers into context with the slowing.
Another "nutshell" encapsulation is that we slow gradually and for the most part the slowdown is not an acute event. Again I base this on numbers.
So how does that apply to your situation? Why is it that you came back from a run and were spent and questioned your time? But, didn't you go right back out and run a good time shortly after that? And the answer is "yes" of course. So you're not slowing ? Wrong ! You are slowing. I know I won't be laughed at here because I'm talking to an intelligent individual. Plus, I'm speaking from personal experience so it's pretty tough to dispute something like that. If someone wants to laugh at that then they have a problem,not me. Therefore, I say to you that your recoveries are becoming slower with time. Again, I say to you that you will be slow one day and go out and burn the course the next day. However, very gradually the "burns" will diminish as the months and the years go by and the frequency of the slower times will increase.
You can't measure the decrease in time over a short period of time. I think you already know that I ran a marathon with an average pace of 6:28 per mile. Hmmm !! I'd be thrilled to be able to run one mile right now in 6:28. So when did my decrease in time occur? Trust me I did not wake-up one morning and find that I had slowed. But I did wake-up one morning and find that my time for the run that day was slower than it had been for awhile. Alas, no problem !! The next few days everything was back to normal. I think you can see what I'm trying to get at here. Yes, we do slow and the slowing takes time to occur.
Now, let me say that we all have bad days. Hey, we all have good days too. It's the broad picture that one needs to look at. And that broad picture can only be of value if it can be supported with something tangible to paint the picture with clarity. Of course that tangible is "numbers".
So I offer you the following picture of me and how I slowed with time. The picture will not show the exact day that all of a sudden I slowed. Of course it won't. That's because the slowing occurred over a period of time measured in years. But to get to those years we have to look at the days within the years. And what I found over the course of the days that exist within those years is that I had many exceptionally good outings. I also had many not so exceptional outings. However, the vast majority of the times were of what the day had to offer to me and that's what I went with. Those are the important numbers that I look at
I keep a running log. I also, keep a separate "log" of the individual routes that I run each day. It's very "elaborate" (just kidding) and consists of one piece of paper with the route and the time for that day. I also usually will have a split somewhere around the middle of the route so I can see if I was faltering near the end of the run or if I was accelerating. You've seen my track numbers too so I'm sure you can envision what I'm talking about here.
I have an 8.2 mile route that I'll call "Route 12". As I scan the single sheet of paper I see the following:
2009....1:07:xx seem to appear sporadically with many runs in the 1:02:xx and 1:03:xx
2010....1:08 and 1:09 seem to come into the picture more (also ran 59:39 this year)
2011:...1:10:xx and 1:11:xx are coming into the picture now. I had to search to find those in the 2009 numbers.
2012....Lots of 1:11:xx's now and I'm starting to see1:13's and 1:14's
2013....Not a good representative year as yet because I've had my issues. However, I'm yet to see a single 1:11:xx on this route
I've scanned my other routes and they all appear to follow in-line with the data from above.
I will say that the slowing of times has accelerated with my advancing age. At 65 I don't consider myself to be finished with running just yet and I'm sure I can still hold my own. But somewhere along the line the 6:28 pace for 26.2 vanished. Since we lose muscle mass as the years progress beyond forty or so I guess that would only help to make sense of this thing. There are only so many things we can do to put off the inevitable. Eventually Mother Nature wins.
I hope you can make sense of this post. In a way I'm all over the map. However, that's exactly the route the running takes too.
Busy day doing chores rest day for my legs, swam 1500 ydrs and did a hard 30 min spin! Did ab #2 and #3!
NB Nice 16.6! DD is moving out of dorm and into a apt with 8 girls that is not available until the 15th. It's a pain in the As_. One good thing is I love running up at UNC! So I all ways get a good run in!

FF: Nice work, safe travels home! DS's are just easier it's a + he is local but he would be easier away!
Very nice runs from you yesterday and today.
Very tragic accidents indeed
Thanks for the good word regarding my friend.
Here's the facts for him presently: this week he's on medication for a relapse of Lyme. At a very slow pace we were going up one of the hills we deal with on the Sunday outing and he was laboring badly. My heart was out to him.
He continues to deal with an AT and hamstring issue. He also has colitis. Yet he continues to get out there almost daily and get his run in. On his "off" days he goes to the "Y" to use the rowing machine and stationary bike.
Needless to say I don't complain a whole lot about a neuroma when we're out :-)
Rick (Maine):
15.8 at 8:10 (salute)
Sounds like you had a plane to catch :-)
Sounds like you're having a good time
Nice work on your SRD.
I had to laugh at the oxymoron.
Go Annie:
10 miles in 1:23:42.......8:22 pace.
Good morning Masters! Saturday: 16 miles. Enjoyed a great evening Friday night with RWOL members Lynda and Joanne and their traveling partner from PA, Marie @ Buca di Beppo. We ran in the Capital City Half Marathon yesterday morning while Joanne did the quarter half [6.55 miles]. All of us finished and I'll post a race report when I get the pixs. Foot is a little cranky today and the race took a lot out of me, not sure if I'll run later. We'll see. Have a great day!
8 miles 1:20:22 - 10:03 avg. pace - recovery. Took 2 miles for my hammies to loosen up but my foot didn't complain once.
George......So sorry to hear that your brother in laws nephew died.......too young....I hope the young man that was driving will pull through......yes.....on many days you and I would be well matched running partners.
NB4........Well done on the16.6 miler....also great post to Rick and of course you are correct......I think it is easier for decades long runners to see the slowing of times but as you said it is no apparent day to day.......I ran y 8 sub3's throughout my 30's....the last coming a few months shy of 39......most were done at around 6:45 pace but my fastest was done at 6:38 pace......I could not imagine doing that pace anymore but it was nearly routine until I was 40 years old.........I can see when I slowed now but I have 34 years of log books to refer to.....although I was a faster marathoner in my 30's as opposed my 20's....PR at age 23 was 3:03....PR at age 38 was 2:54......my daily average pace was of course faster in my 20's......9-10 miles a day in my 20's would be done at 7:10-7:20 average pace.......9-10 miles a day in my 30's would be done at around 7:30 pace.....I had a big slowing in my early 40's.....probably down to around 8:15 average.....with my hammies coming back full force the pace got a bit faster in my late 40's:
2007.......7:57 pace.......4,184.2 miles.
2008.......8:01 pace.......4,037.0 miles.
2009…...7:59 pace.......3,401.0 miles.
2010…...8:03 pace.......3,251.0miles.
2011…...7:54 pace.......3,289.0 miles
2012……8:10 pace......3,004.0 miles.
So far this year I am around 8:14 pace but frankly I have paid little attention to pace for about a year.....as long as I am strong I am happy and I am actually much stronger now the I was 3 or 4 year ago.....we all slow.....you cannot avoid it.......I did all I set out to do as far as marathons and racing in my 20's and 30's.....now it is about running the l clock out so to speak....although I will marathon again in the future....running a 3:25 a 3:35 does not mean much to me.
4:30:41, with a 2 min negative split. Had a very enjoyable race. Full RR to follow after I get some sleep.
Good evening, masters! Had a little time to check in tonight.
I did run my race y'day. It was something like 26:45, but no official time. Someone told me I placed in my ag, but official results have not been posted. I had to leave immediately and go to the cycling race to volunteer. I think all my weekends are free from now on. Yea!
Today, i ran 40 min. with 3 at tempo.
I got the asylum dvd's in the mail Thurs. Just had time to look at them today. Man, they make the Insanity look like child's play.
I don't know about everyone else but it was cold here in La. this weekend. Low's in the 30's & highs were in the 50's & 60's. I don't ever remember wearing jackets & running heaters in May.
Has anyone ever heard of the cool roller? It's a new kind of roller that you put in the freezer. Supposed to be great. I may order one. I would love a review or hear thoughts about it. Here is a link.
George- that is awful. Prayers for those impacted by the horror.
Liney- hope that you are holding that grandbaby tonight.
Falcoln- shout back at you.
NB4- glad you are seeing some improvement
eliz- glad you are enjoying La. One of these visits we are going to have to get together.
Drake- how was the communion?
hello to everyone else. Time to get my stuff together & hit the bed.

Lemon.com Launches New Version. It's Blippy Done Right.
In Silicon Valley, near-endless cash and low burn rates can mean that companies limp on long after it's clear they aren't going to be the next big thing.
Sometimes it's up to the entrepreneur to just be honest with himself and pull the plug. That's exactly what Wences Casares did with his mobile payments company BlingNation about a year ago.
What went wrong? A handful of customers loved it, but it just wasn't taking off. Credit cards were too ingrained in the way people purchase goods and at the end of the day a mobile wallet application like BlingNation made things only marginally faster and more convenient. And while merchants love to diss credit cards, they'll stick with them if the alternative means missing a sale. (Essentially, Casares exactly lived what Farhad argued in his post last week.)
But while the highly-succesful serial entrepreneur may have cried uncle on payments, he still wants to make something in your wallet digital. Now he's focused on something a lot bulkier: Receipts.
He launched his new company Lemon.com last October to be a Dropbox for receipts and it is showing much better traction with 1 million users. He is launching a new version of it today. He'd never pitch it this way, but in a lot of ways it's Blippy done right.
The good thing about Blippy was the record it kept of your spending habits, and there were interesting benefits to that that too few consumers explored. For instance, one of Blippy's investors George Zachary used Blippy to track his credit card for work expenses, and at the end of the month his assistant would just submit everything from his feed. No more annoying expense reports.
As that example shows, it's not that people aren't willing to share payment information with one another. We do that all the time. That's the entire reason we have to keep track of and organize tiny bits of paper confirming what we spent to begin with. People just don't want to share those details with everyone. They want to share them with people they have a reason to share them lwith.
Similarly, the new version of Lemon allows you to take a picture of your receipts with your phone and extract data from them to analyze your spending habits. It focuses on the part of your spending habits that are the hardest to track: Small cash and debit card payments throughout the day. A cup of coffee here, a burrito there.
It's in some ways the opposite of Mint. Not only is it mobile first, but it has more friction at the time of entering each transaction than Mint since you have to take a photo of each receipt. But it has less friction to sign up since you don't need to enter any account information.
And new versions incorporate that Blippy idea of sharing payment information-- only it restricts it to people you'd be sharing that information with anyway. A $3 family account allows up to ten people to track their spending patterns on the same account with special admin provisions so that the parents can see all the spending, but kids can just see their own. It's a way to see where all the family's cash goes every month.
The application I got excited about was for businesses. For $4 a month, anyone in a small business takes pictures of any receipt and can submit it as a business expense on the spot of payment. Admins can tag them in the system for reimbursement and simply issue a check. You need the receipt for exactly the amount of time it takes to capture the photo of it, then you just throw it away. No more George Costanza wallet. No more hunting down tiny scraps of paper to put in some God-awful seventh-circle-of-Dilbert-hell expense report software. And Lemon is working on a Yammer integration that can allow you to easily annotate the receipts, in a place where you are communicating with your team anyway.
This is a game changer for me. I can't tell you how many thousands and thousands of dollars I've lost over my career, because I couldn't be bothered to keep track of tiny slips of paper and enter them into a God-awful reimbursement system. I never did it at AOL-- once. I gave up after months of trying to log in. My time was simply worth more to me than getting reimbursed for that postage or dinner I bought a source. But over the year that reimbursement leakage can add up to a lot of money.
I should note that my husband has spent the last twenty minutes reading this over my shoulder and bringing up every niggling issue with it. He is dubious I would actually use it to record each receipt, and thinks it sounds like more of a hassle than it's worth. To be fair, he's had 13 years of living with me so he knows just how bad I am at tracking this type of stuff. We're going to try it out and report back on which one of us is right.

Summit County How do you want to spend Election Day?
October 11, 2012
Of all elections, presidential elections have the largest turnout of voters. In 2008, over 14,000 or 87 percent of Summit County electors cast ballots in the presidential election. I expect 2012's election to have a similar turnout. With such high participation Election Day, voting frequently means long lines with waits of up to two hours or more to vote.
Many citizens enjoy the tradition of voting on Election Day at the polls. Others in our fast paced world are under time constraints and may want a quick trip in and out of the polling place or the convenience of not making a trip to the polls at all.
Fortunately, in Colorado and Summit County, there are multiple options available to voters.
A voter completes an application for a mail-in ballot. Applications can be found online at http://www.govotecolorado.com or obtained from the clerk's office in the County Courthouse in Breckenridge (970) 453-3479. Ballots for this election will be mailed on Monday to the address on file with the county clerk. By law, ballots can't be forwarded, so if the voter is going to be at an address other than the one on file, the application should be filled out accordingly. Once the ballot is received, simply vote the ballot at your leisure and make sure it is in the county clerk's office by 7 p.m. on Election Day. Mail ballots may also be dropped off at any early voting site or vote center on Election Day. If you believe you are a mail-in voter but don't receive your ballot by Oct. 25, please call the clerk's office (970) 453-3479 so arrangements can be made to issue a ballot. The last day a ballot can be mailed is Oct. 30.
Early Voting will take place Monday-Friday, Oct. 22 through Nov. 2. Locations for early voting are the County Courthouse, 208 E. Lincoln, Breckenridge and Buffalo Mountain Room, County Commons, 37 Peak One Dr., Frisco. Hours of operation are from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. During this time voters will vote in person either by paper or electronic ballot. Early voting locations will also accept mail ballots. The first week of early voting is usually fairly slow, with the number of voters increasing daily throughout the second week.
Summit County uses vote centers for Election Day voting. Registered voters may go to the vote center that is most convenient for them. There will be six vote centers on Election Day:
Recommended Stories For You
> Vote Center 1 – County Courthouse, 208 E. Lincoln, Breckenridge
> Vote Center 2 – Community/Senior Center, 0083 Nancy's Place, Frisco
> Vote Center 3 – Silverthorne Pavilion, 400 Blue River Pkwy., Silverthorne

All vote centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and each will accept mail-in ballots until 7 p.m.
Make the choice that is right for you, just remember to vote. Please contact the county clerk's office at (970) 453-3475 or (970) 453-3479 or visit http://www.govotecolorado.com with any registration or election questions, want to verify or need update your voter status, or request a mail ballot.

Well over a month since its release, I still find myself contemplating over the ending for The Last of Us. Naughty Dogs latest project which introduces us to Joel and Ellie. Two people surviving a disease infested world.
For many, what they felt after the conclusion quickly juxtapose from one reaction to another. The biggest problem for them was that the ending did not give them a sense of closure. But this is what makes The Last of Us a magical and beautiful game.
Before beating the game, I was advised by friends to be wary of the ending. When they beat it, their initial reaction was to want more then what they were given. But as any great novel, the more thought you give to an ending the more perspective you gain.
What happened, do balls just drop off? The Last of Ends in a very open ended ending. After Joel rescues Ellie and escapes the fire fly facility, we see them travel across the country. They come to a stop and enter a forest in which Ellie follows Joel. Ellie then asks Joel if what he says is true, that if in fact she wasn't the cure after all. Joel tells her he isn't lying and Ellie simply replies, Okay.
Was Ellie really a sleep though? Although Ellie was in the operating chair, I believe she may have been a sleep but not for the entire course of events. Perhaps she was even slipping in and out of consciousness and was aware of what Joel was doing. In the car she may have pretended to be a sleep, so she can gather her thoughts and decide if she wants to follow Joel or leave.
But why? We ask why, because the whole journey we took with these characters was to find a cure. Most importantly we didn't know it would come at the price of Ellie's life. Joel who has once again become a father figure by learning to care for Ellie believes this is wrong, which is shown by his actions.
One of the recent Game Informer issues stated that Joel's sole purpose at the end of the game is to make sacrifices and save Ellie. He had no other choice in saving her, as he did in lying to her.
"By the end he's willing to sacrifice his soul, damning mankind to save this girl."
Having Joel been a parent already, who has lost his humanity in the world they live in, Ellie became the only thing he lived for.
For many the question is whether Joel was selfish or not? Which is something we all Interpret differently. I believe Joel was actually being selfless in lying to Ellie. Not only for the fact that they need and want each other, but because he was saving Ellie from her own desire to die.
For those who completed the game you learned Ellie wanted nothing more than to be normal and live her life. But even if a vaccination was made, it wouldn't be fair that she wont be able to live in an infested free world. She has survived in this world for her entire life, so why shouldn't everyone else. The way I see things, that world naughty dog created wasn't meant to be changed, it wasn't meant to be a happy one.
Tangent time: Lets assume a cure was made. This would mean producing millions of vaccinations, distributing them across the globe. Making sure everyone reacts the same to them and hoping the vaccine doesn't kill or infect the living population. Even if you give the vaccination to people, what happens to those already infected? Maybe you can turn them back, but most likely not. So you are left doing what you have always been doing which is surviving.
Another reason why Joel's decision was selfless, was because their relationship is symbiotic. As I mentioned before they need one another.Joel needs Ellie to redeem himself, redeem his soul. Ellie, who hasn't had parents can have the one thing kids need, a parent. Joel also allowed Ellie to continue to live, her desire to be the cure at all could have come on vein. It's more selfish to believe that because Ellie's sacrifice the world will be saved because she won't be part of that world. Her greatest dream will never come true.
The only way Joel would have been selfish was if he forced Ellie to accept what he did. Instead, we get the most open to interpretation answer from Ellie, a simple Okay. This declared that Ellie knew exactly what Joel did, but she was going to stand behind him whether he lied or told the truth. Her answer meant that she accepted what he did, that she trusts him enough to never question or be angry towards his actions in the lab. The okay signifies trust and love. She trusts and loves Joel. As any parent, trying to shelter their kid from harm, he loves her enough to lie to her. Thanks to him she can live and they will make it together. Thanks to her Joel will keep surviving and enduring with a purpose.
"Ellie has a good bullshit detector and Joel is a bad liar."
She had to have known, but just accepted it. Like having faith asking no questions.
(Cudos to naughty dog for expressing the emotion of love in a video game)
With a lot to think about and indifirences by the games ending, it's clear, at least for me that what Joel did was the right thing. The Last of Us may have been as close to perfect as a game can get. With Grand Theft Auto V out now, it's hard to see who will win game of the year.

Mental Health
Chronic Pain and Its Connection to Depression
My mother, 71, has chronic pain in her back and hip due to fibromayalgia and degenerative arthritis. Lately she seems to not be coping well with making decisions, remembering things, or solving problems. I am concerned that her chronic pain has pushed her into a depression. Would it be useful for her to be evaluated? Who is the health care specialist she should consult?
Chronic pain and depression often go hand in hand. First of all, someone with chronic pain experiences daily frustration as the pain interferes with activities, work, hobbies, and sometimes even basic self-care. Then there's the frustration and disappointment of seeking a diagnosis so you can finally understand the pain and hopefully treat it. All this frustration certainly can result in negative, hopeless thinking. Such negative thinking couples with functional impairment, limited pleasures, and social isolation to develop clinical depression.
Depression can be difficult to recognize. The primary symptoms of depression include feeling sad, down, depressed or experiencing lost pleasure in activities one used to enjoy.
Other symptoms may include:
- changes in appetite
- changes in sleep
- restlessness
- fatigue
- worthlessness
- hopelessness
- guilt
- irritability
- difficulty concentrating
- indecisiveness
- and thoughts of death.
Anyone with suicidal thoughts should seek immediate help.
The symptoms you mention your mother experiencing (indecisiveness, memory problems, and difficulty solving problems), may certainly be symptoms of depression. However, she would also experience a sad mood and/or loss of pleasures in order to be considered clinically depressed. It is also possible these symptoms may be related to other conditions, such as dementia, that should be evaluated.
Consulting a psychologist or psychiatrist for evaluation of these symptoms would be appropriate, as would discussing these symptoms with her primary care provider. If your mother is diagnosed with depression, psychotherapy and antidepressant medications have both proven effective in treating depression most of the time. As depression improves, many people report their chronic pain and functional impairment also improve.

Harvey wants to mix strikeouts with efficiency
JUPITER, Fla. -- Matt Harvey's big league statistics are beginning to grow into a significant sample size, and this much is clear: Harvey strikes out a lot of hitters.
With six more punchouts in Monday's 3-2 win against the Cardinals, Harvey upped his Grapefruit League total to 24 in 18 1/3 innings. That rate of 11.78 strikeouts per nine innings is easily the best among Mets starters in camp, and is not necessarily a personal outlier.
Harvey struck out 70 batters in his first 59 1/3 Major League innings last year -- a rate of 10.62 per nine innings. He maintained rates close to 10.00 throughout his Minor League career.
Only two MLB starting pitchers with at least 50 innings last season posted K/9 rates better than Harvey's: Stephen Strasburg of the Nationals and Max Scherzer of the Tigers, two of the most prolific strikeout artists in baseball.
"He's got that kind of stuff," manager Terry Collins said. "He's going to strike out a lot of guys."
But heavy strikeout totals are hardly the only measure of a pitcher's worth. Because they require at least three pitches by definition, strikeouts tend to drive up pitch counts and fatigue pitchers. Experiencing that problem at times last year, Harvey has seen it again this spring. He needed 80 pitches to complete 5 1/3 innings Monday, numbers not quite as efficient as he desires.
"Obviously a strikeout's good here and there," Harvey said. "I'm starting to learn that a ground ball's just as good. Going deep into a game's on my mind."

Indiana University has found its point guard of the future, continuing its recruiting success of the past four months.
Park Tudor's Yogi Ferrell, one of the top juniors in the nation, has decided to play for the Hoosiers, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation.
Ferrell will announce his decision Wednesday evening prior to Park Tudor's season-opening game.
Ferrell is ranked as the No. 2 point guard in the nation in the junior class and No. 17 player overall by Rivals.
The 5-10 point guard becomes the seventh nationally ranked player to pick IU since August, in addition to a pair of other highly regarded Indianapolis players.
Coveted by a host of major programs, Ferrell eventually narrowed his list to Butler, Florida, IU, Virginia and Wake Forest.
Ferrell has been a summer teammate of Washington senior big man Cody Zeller for two years and the two have played nearly 60 games together.
After Zeller committed to IU on Nov. 11, he talked about getting Ferrell to join him.
Ferrell, who led Park Tudor to a Class 2A state runner-up finish last season, joins a cavalcade of in-state talent to declare for third-year coach Tom Crean since August.
Zeller (ranked No. 20 nationally among seniors) joined Hamilton Heights wing Austin Etherington, who committed last summer, in IU's 2011 recruiting class.
The juniors to pick IU are Ferrell, La Porte 6-8 forward Hanner Perea (No. 10), Broad Ripple shooting guard Ron Patterson (No. 78) and Charlotte, N.C., 7-0 center Peter Jurkin (No. 137).
Ferrell's commitment will put IU in the running for the top-ranked 2012 recruiting class in the nation.
The sophomores to commit to IU are Cathedral 6-6 wing Collin Hartman and Warren Central 6-6 wing Devin Davis, who made their decisions Sunday. Hartman and Davis could be nationally ranked by spring when the major scouting services announce their top 150 lists for the 2013 class.
The freshman are Tech's 6-9 Trey Lyles, ranked No. 1 in his class by ESPN, and Fort Wayne Luers' 6-2 combo guard James Blackmon Jr., ranked No. 15 by ESPN.

Not a wind disc, no way, but there's a big difference between Opto and GL Saint. Tried the Saints of a friend (Opto and GL, both +172g). "Overstable Control Driver" was written on the stamp. That was true bs, but the Opto Saint was able to handle some headwind, the GL could not.
Funny, I'm very fond of the GL River and the GL Flow is my main distance driver. If I want to add a Latitude disc inbetween those two it's going to be an Opto Saint. (As for the distance it's just in the middle of a River and a Flow for me).

Despite the torrential rain and inclement weather of late, the village of Otterton having being cut off on two separate occasions in the last week and parts of the lower Otter Valley still lying under several feet of flood water, the Reindeer Run is on this Saturday, December 1!
There is a contingency 10 km Reindeer run route and a slightly shortened Fun Run due to the closure of the footpath adjacent to the River Otter. It is hoped with the colder, drier weather this week that the ground will finally have a moment to dry out at last; ground conditions presently are very runnable indeed however with colder, frostier weather forecast this may lead to slippery conditions under foot so additional care will need to be taken through gateways and muddy puddles on race day.
This year's Reindeer Run will be started by a very special Olympic torch bearer known throughout hashing circles and local multi-terrain races.
Despite Christmas being only a handful of shopping days away, why not resist the urge to blow all your hard earned cash on a retail therapy excursion, come and join fellow runners for the new Reindeer route which promises additional panoramic views of the Jurassic Coast and Otter Valley; we sincerely hope that participants will be suitably wowed by the new route.
The finish area remains the same, the only difference being that you may notice the odd sandbar or two!
On completion of your run on the village green you will be serenaded into the finish area with ambient Christmas saxophone tunes provided by father and son duo, Dave and Isaac.
On catching your breath you will be issued with your souvenir Reindeer Run mug. Make your way to the comforts of Otterton Village Hall and you will be greeted with the hubbub of excited voices and festive bods of all shapes and sizes. Fran Mills and her hard working team of helpers will recharge your batteries with a complementary mug full of mulled wine, a hot, tasty mince pie generously provided by Haymans Butchers of Sidmouth and a bacon butty for a small fee, all helping to raise funds towards OCESA (Otterton Church of England School Association).
The 3.2 km fun run is just £3 per person, taking a shorter route than usual. All participating children are given a complementary set of reindeer antlers at the finish on the Green.
Otterton C of E School, Jim and Jeanette Pyne (hash names Big Jim and Mrs Baldrick) would like to thank all the sponsors for their generous help and support without which this amazing event wouldn't be able to take place
