Document Thief Helps Media Win Awards
What "60 Minutes" Didn't Say About Russia
DOCUMENT THIEF HELPS MEDIA WIN AWARDS. The George Polk Awards, supposedly given "to honor special achievement in journalism," have been awarded to several recipients of stolen documents. An official press release calls them "four reporters who revealed the extent of secret surveillance and massive data collected by the National Security Agency." But their "revelations" are based on classified documents stolen by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, now under the control of the Russian intelligence service, the FSB. A recent USA TODAY/Pew Research Center Poll found that, by a margin of 54%-38%, those surveyed say Snowden should be prosecuted for his crimes.

One of the top players in the nation lives in the state of Georgia, yet he doesn't have an offer from the in-state Bulldogs. For talented athlete Juwaan Williams (Tucker, Ga./Tucker), that might change as he recently visited Athens for junior day.
"It went well," Williams said. "The facilities and campus are beautiful. I had the opportunity to ask questions to some of the players there and it was a good atmosphere all the way around."
A bright young man, Williams understands the promises and hyperbole of the recruiting trail and he knows the players are a great source of information.
"I asked what it was like there since the coaches can tell you one thing and the players can tell you something different," Williams said. "And they said as long as I work hard and do the right thing, I will have a great and long-lasting career at UGA."
Before that career can start, though, Williams needs an offer from the Bulldogs. He already has offers from South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Wake Forest and a host of other schools.
"I will definitely see about that in the near future," Williams said. "I got a chance to talk to Coach [Rodney] Garner. I got to sit and listen to Mike Bobo talk about how the offense works."
In the meantime, Williams has several visits planned.
"I have one visit to Georgia Tech tomorrow and then a visit to Vanderbilt on Saturday," Williams said. "The whole coaching staff at Vanderbilt is great. When I went up there for one of their games, it was a great SEC atmosphere and the whole coaching staff just took me in as one of their own."
The Yellow Jackets and the Commodores are two of Williams' top three choices so far. And if the Bulldogs were to offer, they would find him very receptive.
"It would mean a lot. It would really have me thinking about which college to pick," Williams said. "My three favorites right now are Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt and Georgia. My favorite college team was Florida growing up just because I wanted to be a Gator, but as I got older it differed. Now I am a Georgia fan. I was always an SEC fan. I don't know why, I guess it just caught my attention."
Georgia converted Williams away from its archrival as he saw a number of friends and teammates head off to Athens.
"It was just the way they got some of my teammates. They just picked up my defensive lineman, Josh Dawson. That was a big pickup for them. Then I watched them over the years. I knew one of the running backs up there, Caleb King, while he was at Georgia," Williams said. "I know Chris Sanders just recently was dismissed from the team unfortunately. He and I had a great relationship over the past two years before he went to Georgia. It was something terrible that happened to a great player. I hope the best for him. Watching him from the sideline, I was amazed every time he did something in practice or in the game."
Sanders' dismissal and King's failure to remain academically eligible doesn't hurt Georgia's standing with Williams.
"Knowing their past and how my other friends have done at Georgia, it doesn't change my mind," Williams said. "It just makes me more careful about what I do and who I associate myself with in my process of going to college. They say you meet your best friends in college. I just think that those two met the wrong people or associated with the wrong people."
Williams has some time before he decides on a peer group, but a more pressing concern is what position the 6-foot-1, 180-pound athlete will play in college, as that will affect his choice.
"Receiver in a spread system or a pro system, but if it is a triple option or a wing-T system, I will play quarterback," Williams said. "I probably prefer a spread or pro-style offense. That way I could either be a big-play guy or an every-down receiver."
Last year Williams threw for 557 yards and seven touchdowns. On the ground he picked up 617 yards rushing on just 82 attempts, scoring 11 touchdowns and averaging more than 7.5 yards per carry. He attributes his numbers to being more cerebral than passionate.
"If there is a play needed, I can be the go-to guy," Williams said. "Or I can come in the huddle, calm everybody down and let the players around me know what is about to happen. I am not the type of guy to get hyped up and jump around. I am more the person you see sitting down, looking at a playbook or looking at my wristband to see what play we are going to run next."
His success landed him on the ESPNU 150 Watch List for 2013.
"That is a great honor," Williams said. "I go on there almost every week to see what the updates are and I look at the other players. There is a lot of great talent around."

Nonna Mia is a new Italian restaurant in the Grant Park neighborhood. It serves pizza as well as a number of plated dishes, so I wouldn't strictly call it a pizzeria. But it is definitely a casual place with a great deal of outdoor seating.
I started with a salad, which was just fine. The pignoli were a nice touch.
My pizza was a Quattro Stagione. The cheeses were excellent---the best I've had on a 4-stations in quite some time. The quality was excellent and they were plentiful on the pizza. The crust wasn't bad; I wish it were a little crisper on the bottom.

Welcome to the Stock of the Day.
The benchmark indices are off over 200 points today on tremors out of the Ukraine, but that did nothing to stall Magna International (MGA[1]), as Magna stock just soared to an all-time high on strong fourth-quarter results. Is there upside left for MGA? Find out today.
Company Overview
Magna International is a leading supplier to the auto industry. Based in Ontario, Magna International provides services ranging from vehicle engineering and assembly to production of exterior trim and building interior door panels. Fiat—including Chrysler and Dodge—Ford (F[2]) and General Motors (GM[3]) are all long-time clients of Magna.
Earnings Buzz
Magna stock shares rose on Monday after the auto parts wholesaler posted higher profit in the fourth quarter as it continued to thrive in North America and improved operations in Europe. Compared with Q4 2012, net income advanced 35% to $458 million, or $2.03 per share. Analysts had predicted earnings of $1.54 per share so Magna International posted a 32% earnings surprise. Over the same period, sales jumped 14% to $9.17 billion, also topping the $8.87 billion consensus estimate.
Future Outlook
Magna International reaffirmed its sales guidance for 2014. The company sees total sales in a range of $33.8 billion and $35.5 billion. While this missed the $35.73 billion consensus estimate by a whisker Wall Street shrugged this off. Magna International also has declared a quarterly dividend of 38 cents per share, a 19% increase over last quarter. Shareholders of record on March 14 will be paid on March 28.
All-in-all, this was a solid report.
Current Ratings
Before you buy any stock, you should always run it through my free Portfolio Grader ratings system. This Conservative stock has been at a buy for the past 12 months running. And with the latest results I don't expect that to change anytime soon. MGA receives an A for its Quantitative Grade and a B for its Fundamental Grade.
Bottom Line: As of this posting I consider Magna stock an A-rated Strong Buy.

Earthquakes 2, Wizards 0; Sunday, October 24, 2004; Spartan Stadium; San Jose, Calif.
The San Jose Earthquakes opened the 2004 MLS Cup Playoffs with a 2-0 victory over the Kansas City Wizards in Game One of the Western Conference Semifinals at Spartan Stadium. A first half goal by Dwayne De Rosario and an early second half goal by Craig Waibel provided the difference for San Jose, as Quakes goalkeeper Pat Onstad recorded his first career playoff shutout. The Quakes relentless attack finally paid off in the 40th minute when De Rosario put the Quakes up 1-0. Donovan received a pass in the middle of the field and promptly popped a pass up to a streaking De Rosario on the left side of the field. Guarded closely by Nick Garcia, De Rosario dribbled up the left sideline and created space for himself before unleashing a curving shot that went over Garcia and a stunned Bo Oshoniyi to give the Quakes the lead. The Quakes made it 2-0 in the 53rd minute on Craig Waibel's first career playoff goal. Agoos sent a perfect corner kick over the defense to the far post, where a charging Waibel was able to re-direct the ball into the net with his left foot.

The winner of the MLS Comeback Player of the Year Award will be announced in the week leading up to MLS Cup 2004, which is set for Sunday, November 14 at The Home Depot Center. Ching, 26, enjoyed a true breakout season in 2004, picking up right where he left off after his 2003 season was cut short by a ruptured right Achilles tendon. Ching recovered from the devastating injury and exploded for a league-leading 12 goals and four assists to become the Quakes Budweiser Scoring Champion. Ching earned MLS Player of the Week honors for his two-goal effort on July 17 vs. Colorado. Ching was rewarded with his first selection to the Sierra Mist MLS All-Star game, where he scored a goal, and also played in his first World Cup Qualifying matches with the United States National Team. Ching impressed at the international level as well, scoring two goals in his first two World Qualifying appearances for the U.S.

Despite falling behind by a goal twice in the 2003 Western Conference Championship, the Quakes came back to win on Landon Donovan's golden goal in the 27th minute of overtime. Manny Lagos and Brian Mullan also scored in the match for the Quakes, while Igor Simutenkov and Chris Klein netted goals for Kansas City.
Playoff Format
A total of eight teams advanced to the MLS Cup Playoffs, with the top four teams from the Eastern and Western Conference pairing off within their own Conference. The top team in each group will face the fourth place team, while the second and third place squads will square off. The Conference Semifinal series will be conducted under a home-and-home, aggregate goal format to determine which two teams will advance to the single elimination Conference final match. The higher-seeded team will host both the Conference Semifinal Game Two and the Conference Championship. Game One of the Conference Semifinal ends after 90 minutes ... If teams tied on aggregate after Game Two, 30-minute, golden-goal overtime period follows (played in two equal 15-minute halves), then by penalty kicks (if necessary) to determine Series winner ... Higher seed holds home-field advantage for Game Two ... Conference Championship Games and MLS Cup 2004, if tied after 90 minutes, determined by 30-minute, golden-goal overtime (two equal halves) ... If neither team scores during that time, the series will be decided via penalty kick shootout held according to FIFA regulations.
Donovan Named Finalist For 2004 Honda Player of Year
Earthquakes forward Landon Donovan was revealed as one of three finalists for the 2004 Honda Player of the Year Award during today's Honda Symposium in Los Angeles. Donovan was selected along with DaMarcus Beasley (22) and Carlos Bocanegra (25) by 204 sports journalists across the country. Two years ago, Donovan became the youngest Honda Player of the Year Award winner, and last year he became the first player to win the award two years in a row. This year he joins Claudio Reyna, Alexi Lalas and Kasey Keller, as the only players who have been selected as finalists in at least three consecutive years. Up to this point, Landon is the leading scorer on the National Team this year with five goals. The previous winners of the Honda Player of the Year Award are: Landon Donovan (2003 and 2002), Earnie Stewart (2001), Claudio Reyna (2000), Kasey Keller (1999), Cobi Jones (1998), Eddie Pope (1997), Eric Wynalda (1996, 1992), Alexi Lalas (1995), Marcelo Balboa (1994), Thomas Dooley (1993) and Hugo Perez (1991).

OT in the Playoffs
The San Jose Earthquakes have been involved in four overtime games in their postseason history and the team is a perfect 4-0-0 in those matches. In 2001, the Quakes won two straight overtime games to win the MLS Cup. They defeated the Miami Fusion 1-0 on Oct. 17 in the MLS Cup Playoff Semifinals in Game 3 and then won the MLS Cup Final 2-1 in overtime over the Galaxy. Last season, the Quakes pulled off two OT wins also, defeating the Galaxy 5-2 in overtime in Game Two of their Western Conference Semifinal series to win the series 5-4 on total goals. The Quakes then defeated Kansas City 3-2 in overtime in the Western Conference Championship.
Quakes Announce 2004 Award Winners
The Earthquakes announced their 2004 Season Award winners prior to Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kansas City Wizards. Brian Ching is the Quakes Budweiser Scoring Champion and Honda Most Valuable Player. Pat Onstad is the Quakes Defensive Player of the Year, and Todd Dunivant and Craig Waibel are the co-winners of the U.S. Soccer Humanitarian of the Year. Eddie Robinson was named the winner of the Geneva McAlavey Community Outreach Award and Richard Mulrooney won the California Customs award.
Playoff Games At Spartan Stadium
The Earthquakes have been at the top of their game at home in the playoffs. Since 1996, the Quakes have posted a 6-1 record at Spartan Stadium and outscored opponents 19-6 in those six games.
Road Playoff Games
The Earthquakes have a struggled a bit on the road in the playoffs, compiling a 2-5 postseason record away from Spartan Stadium. The Quakes last won a road playoff game on October 17, 2001 when they defeated the Miami Fusion 1-0 in the MLS Cup Playoff Semifinals. The Quakes have also won two MLS Cups at neutral sites.
Slim Losses
In all but one of their nine losses this year, the Earthquakes have only lost by one goal. The only game decided by more than one goal was on July 10 against the MetroStars in a 2-0 loss in which the Quakes conceded a penalty kick goal in second half injury time. However, forwards Landon Donovan and Brian Ching, the teams leading scorers, missed the game while traveling with the U.S. National Team. The Quakes own a 2-9-0 record in one-goal games.
Donovan Continues Playoff Performance
In his fourth trip to the MLS Cup Playoffs, Landon Donovan continued his incredible postseason play. Donovan registered an assist on the Quakes first goal, now giving him six assists in 13 playoff games and a total of 26 playoff points including 10 goals. Donovan is currently fifth all-time in points (26), second in goals (10) and second in points per game (2.00) in MLS postseason history. In 2001, Donovan led the Quakes to the MLS Cup Championship by scoring five goals and dishing out two assists in six games. The following season, he notched a goal and an assist in two games, but San Jose was swept 2-0 by the Columbus Crew. In 2003, the two-time Honda U.S. Soccer Player of the Year scored four goals and notched two assists as he again led San Jose to the MLS Cup Championship.
Waibel Finds A Way
Earthquakes defender Craig Waibel scored his first MLS postseason goal on Sunday, hammering home a corner kick from Jeff Agoos in the 52nd minute to give San Jose a 2-0 lead. In his tenth postseason game, Waibel scored just his second career MLS goal. Waibel scored his first career MLS goal earlier this season, when he scored on May 8 against the MetroStars.
Mulrooney Out
Earthquakes midfielder Richard Mulrooney was unavailable for the Quakes on Sunday in Game One of the Western Conference Semifinals due to personal reasons. Mulrooney's status for Game Two is undecided at this time. Mulrooney was the only member of the San Jose roster who started and played 90 minutes in all 30 games for the Quakes in 2004. He tied for first in MLS in minutes played with three other players. In his 2,700 minutes of play, Mulrooney scored one goal and notched eight assists for ten points, which was the fifth highest point total on the Quakes.
De Ro Strikes Again, Break Through At Spartan Stadium
Earthquakes forward Dwayne De Rosario made his third postseason start on Sunday and came through with the first goal of the game for the Quakes. It was De Rosario's first playoff goal since 2001, when he scored the game-wining golden goal in the MLS Cup Championship game against the Los Angeles Galaxy. The goal was the first for the Quakes at Spartan Stadium since Aug. 21, a 3-0 win over the Burn. The Quakes had been held scoreless for four straight games at home before breaking out with two goals vs. the Wizards.

Ching Shoots For Record
Quakes forward Brian Ching appeared in his first playoff game for the club, after missing the postseason in 2003 due to a ruptured right Achilles tendon. Ching played in just his third career playoff game on Sunday, and tied an Earthquakes playoff record with his three shots on goal. Ching had previously played just six playoff minutes, all with the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2001.

That depends on how many you have
hard inquiries tend to drop your score 3 to 5 points when they are done, unless you have more than 4 on your report. That is usually off set by the increase to your available credit the next month. It will also depend on what your score is now.
So if you have less than 4 inquiries and you can transfer enough to save a reasonable amount of interest, And your score is high enough that you should get a reasonably high credit limit on the new card, Then it should be a good deal.
Good luck

Since I don't have xp installed I can't test this, but have you guys who are having trouble with the cd/dvd rom icons tried turning off autoplay? That might make the faus-x icons show up always instead. I'm guessing they show up for a split second cause windows then replaces them with whatever autoplay icons there are, or if there's none it replaces it with the default (bug, it should replace them with the faus-x if no autoplay icon if that's what you've selected).

Perhaps because the Pro Leather occupies that space in the market, we haven't seen much from this other 1970s Converse basketballer here in the states. But over in Japan, the Converse Chevronstar continues to expand its grasp, this time with three new collaborative designs. These 'Work Shirt' Chevronstars by XLarge are more subdued than that stalwart streetwear brand's typical guest spots, but the red, blue and black pairs fit right in with the overall XLarge x Converse capsule this season. Click through to see each pair individually, then let us know if you'll try to get your hands on these decidedly low-key Japan exclusives.

text: Despite all the objections and bans raised on the screening of Prakash Jhas Aarakshan, the movie on caste-based reservations and commercialization of education in India, managed to collect rupees 25 crores in four days. Trade analysts view that Aarakshans business will rock in the second week. Aarakshan made in a total production budget of rupees 42 crores, features actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, Manoj Bajpayee, Deepika Padukone and Prateik Babbar. The occupancy in its opening weekend stayed around 60 to 70 percent. The film was banned in Uttar Pradesh. Though in Gurgaon their was a ban in the films screening on Saturday and Sunday for security reasons, Delhi overall saw an average response. Ban on Aarakshan in three states namely, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh for fear of anti-Dalit comments in the movie, has definitely affected the business of the film, views Jha. Though the ban was lifted in Andhra Pradesh on Saturday and in Punjab on Monday, still the maximum Hindi speaking people hail from Uttar Pradesh, which has hugely affected the Box Office results.The Supreme Court on Tuesday has asked the Uttar Pradesh Government to file its reply by Thursday to filmmaker Prakash Jhas petition seeking a stay of the ban. Things will hopefully take better turns for Aarakshan in the second weekend. #13;

Welcome to the April 2014 issue for Computer Communications Review. I am really happy to see CCR increasing its presence in our community and serving as a venue where we express our opinions on the way our community is evolving, discussing its future, and publish papers that advance the state of the art in data communications. In the past 3 months, I have received a number of comments from members in the community, on previous published articles and expressing their willingness to contribute to its continued success. Thank you very much!
This issue of CCR features 13 papers, out of which 6 are editorial notes. The technical papers cover wireless and wired networking solutions, as well as SDN. Our editorials cover workshop reports, but also opinion papers. Lastly, I am very happy to also include an editorial on MCKit, the smartphone app that was launched for SIGCOMM 2013, and the organizers' thoughts on how well it worked, how it was built, and results on how it was used. I hope it proves to be useful as we are getting close to this year's SIGCOMM in Chicago.
One of the discussions we have started in the community has to do with our actual impact on commercial products. March was the month of the Mobile World Congress (MWC), in Barcelona, the premier industry venue in mobile communications and products. It was really exciting to see one of our community's outcomes presented during the venue and receiving tremendous coverage by the media. I am referring to Kumu Networks, a startup company founded by Sachin Katti, Steven Hong, Jeffrey Mehlman, and Mayank Jain, whose seeds were sown in Stanford University, and that aims to commercialize full duplex radio technology. The technology behind Kumu Network was published in SIGCOMM 2012, SIGCOMM 2013, as well as NSDI, Mobicom and Hotnets in the past 4 years. Kumu Networks is a clear testament to the quality of work done in our community, and its relevance in the market. A tremendous achievement by all standards.
This issue also marks the end of term for Sharad Agarwal, from Microsoft Research in Redmond. I really wanted to thank Sharad for his contributions throughout his tenure at CCR. We will miss your perspective, as well as some of the greatest public reviews CCR has even seen!
We also say goodbye to Matteo Varvello, from Bell Labs. Matteo has been the heart behind the online version of CCR. I would really like to thank him for all his help throughout the past year, and welcome Prof. Mike Wittie, from Montana State University, who joins full of energy as the new CCR publications chair.
With all that, I hope you enjoy this issue and I am always at your disposal in case of questions or comments.

Continuum is storing scm passwords in the database in plain text.
If the 'use cached credentials' checkbox is checked, it should use the provided userid and password for the initial pom retrieval, and then discard them.
(Continuum has the ability to use svn credentials that have been pre-cached on the build server, but when you add a project the first request for the pom is not a svn checkout, it's just an http/https GET.)
Workaround: periodically remove the credentials from the database:
update PROJECT set SCM_PASSWORD = "";
update PROJECT set SCM_USERNAME = "";
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
Thanks, Olivier. I think the credentials may also get cached during the release process. I'll test and open a new issue for that if so, but wanted to mention it in case it's easy to check now.

U.S. immigration bill critics take it to the streets
In this nation of immigrants, newspapers work to reflect a wide array of community voices and faces. Invite students to show examples of diverse nationalities from the news and feature pages of recent issues. Discuss benefits from that coverage for readers of all backgrounds.
Opinions about immigration issues are presented in news coverage of protests and from Congress as lawmakers debate changes. But those are not the only voices shared in the newspaper and its web site. Challenge students to find viewpoints on this topic expressed by letter writers, bloggers, editorial writers, columnists and cartoonists. See if anyone wants to submit comments in a Letter to the Editor.
Marches against a crackdown on immigrants were large, colorful, dramatic events guranateed to receive news coverage. Let class members discuss the value and drawbacks of paying attention to "staged" protests designed to attract public and media attention. What ingredients do journalists include in coverage of such events to provide balance and fairness?
Congressional proposals to arrest illegal immigrants and to fortify the Mexican border provoked protests across the nation in recent weeks. Hispanic adults, students and merchants demonstrated in Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Detroit, Dallas, Boston, Houston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Denver, Phoenix, San Francisco and other cities. About 1,000 people gathered outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C., as a Senate committee worked on immigration legislation last week.
Opposition was sparked by a House-passed bill that would make illegal immigration a felony, up from a civil offense now, and also would make it a crime to help illegal immigrants. "We are not criminals" said demonstrators' chants and signs. Senators dropped both of those provisions from their version. The bill pending in that part of Congress would clear the way to citizenship for nearly 12 million immigrants already in the United States unlawfully and would make it easier for newcomers to get a "green card" to stay. The Senate measure also would tighten border security and enforce bans against hiring workers who lack immigration documents.
The widespread demonstrations drew attention to the deep emotions behind this election year issue and the high stakes for foreigners living in this country without government permission to stay – including many who are not Hispanic. The issue divides Republicans. Business groups want to legalize undocumented workers, while the party's conservative base strongly opposes illegal immigration.
Immigration critics say: Workers who come from Mexico and other countries without government permission are taking American jobs, eroding U.S. culture and straining schools, hospitals and social agencies supported by state taxpayers. Any "amnesty" plan, which President Bush opposes, rewards illegal immigrants for breaking the law.
Immigration advocates say: Foreign workers fill jobs Americans don't want and are essential to such industries as agriculture, food service, hospitality, landscaping and construction. Their wages benefit local economies and they are law-abiding because they don't want to be sent home. Offering a chance to become citizens does not amount to amnesty because immigrants would have to pay a $2,000 fine, wait six years, learn English, hold a job, pass a criminal background check and pay any back taxes.
What's ahead? A Senate committee voted 12-6 to send its version of the immigration bill to the Senate floor for debate and a vote. Any version that passes then would have to be matched to a new House version for final approval and the president's signature. "Immigration reform has become a bit like the Mideast peace process -- it's a safe bet that nothing will happen," predicts National Public Radio correspondent Jennifer Ludden. Some Republicans are wary of alienating legal immigrants who are voters, particularly because their party has made inroads among Hispanics.

Hi Daniel,
Have a look at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/cpu-affinity/ ...
There's tons of information here that should answer most of your
To see what cpu a process is running, you can use top... By default, the
"Last Used CPU" field may not be showing - simply hit "f" then "y" to
enable that field and voila! (note that the commands may be slightly
different depending on your version of top)...
As for the where a process' memory is coming from, I don't know how to do
that, but am certainly interested in hearing the answer... :)

Fairfax County Approves Bikeshare System for Reston, Tysons
26 New Stations, 212 Bikes Coming Fall 2016
Jan. 12, 2016
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved a $1.7 million plan to bring Capital Bikeshare to Reston and Tysons at its regularly scheduled meeting today. This investment will help get cars off the road, boost local economy and contribute to a healthier community.
"With the transformation of Reston and Tysons into more urban centers, Fairfax County is investing in infrastructure needed to make it easy to get around." said Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova. "More people are living and working in these areas than ever before. "Downtown" areas by definition are not designed to accommodate high volumes of car traffic and parking. Creating the right atmosphere that encourages walking and biking is important for these areas to continue to be attractive and highly sought after by residents and businesses alike."
The bikeshare system will allow individuals in the Reston and Tysons to check out a bike and ride short to moderate distances from station to station. There will be 132 bicycles available in Reston at 15 stations located between the Wiehle-Reston East Metrorail Station and Reston Town Center; and 80 bicycles available in Tysons at 11 stations located east of Route 7, north of Route 123, and south of the Dulles Toll Road. The Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) is working to identify and refine the exact locations for the stations in Reston and Tysons, and will be moving forward with the equipment purchase for the program. The first phase of the system is expected to open in the fall of 2016.
The Board's action comes just one month after the approval of 31 pedestrian and bicycle projects in Herndon and Reston, and it also supports the county's Strategic Plan to Facilitate Economic Success. The economic plan calls for creating dense, mixed use communities with many transportation options, and Capital Bikeshare helps to accomplish this goal. Not only do bikeshares attract the younger "creative class" that fuel an innovation economy, but also they produce tangible economic benefits. Also, a 2014 Capital Bikeshare member survey found that its riders make more trips to restaurants and stores than they normally would without the bikeshare system.[1] In addition, an academic study found that 23 percent of Capital Bikeshare riders spent more money because they used the system.[2]
In 2014, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) awarded Fairfax County a Transportation and Land Use Connection grant to study the feasibility of launching a bikeshare system. The results of the study showed that bikeshare could succeed as a viable transportation option in Reston.
In the summer of 2015, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), in partnership with Fairfax County, and with the support of the Tysons Partnership, implemented several miles of bike lanes in Tysons. This new infrastructure provoked the idea that a bikeshare system could succeed in Tysons, as well as in Reston. The Tysons Partnership approached FCDOT with a proposal to bring bikeshare to Tysons, and to make a financial contribution to the initial capital cost, as well as operating costs.
For more information on this project, contact FCDOT at 703-877-5600, TTY 711 or visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fcdot/bike.

Thanks for the nice updates. One minor point, I think we all need to be using the word "limited" less. Virtually everything is limited but immunotherapy trials have sadly met with ZERO success thus far not "limited". There are some encouraging upcoming therapies but so far nothing..

Harris is summer sensation in high school hoops
When the Boost Mobile Elite 24 all-star basketball game was moved from the fabled outdoor court at Harlem's Rucker Park to the venerable Gauchos Park indoor gym in the Bronx because of Friday night's intermittent rain, it served as an apt metaphor for Tobias Harris' game.
The 6-8 senior, who transferred from Lutheran to Half Hollow Hills West, has risen to the nation's No. 7 overall recruit this summer, according to ESPNU, because he has developed an inside-outside game. A summer of premier camps and elite all-star games and an arduous fitness program that helped him drop inches from his waist and add inches to his vertical jump came to a fitting conclusion Friday night.
Harris, Newsday's 2009 high school player of the year, scored 20 points, shot 9-for-16, added five rebounds and was named one of the Skip to My Lou team's co-MVPs in a 133-120 victory over The Goat team in the annual Elite 24 game, which includes the top high school players in the country.
"I've expanded my game," Harris said in the steamy upstairs locker room of the ancient gym that is home to one of the city's top amateur programs. "I definitely feel stronger. I can take contact and finish."
Despite the limitations of the free-wheeling, one-on-one style of all-star games, Harris offered glimpses of why he is being courted by schools such as Syracuse, Connecticut, Kentucky, Tennessee and numerous others. He dunked repeatedly on the fast break, scored on a power move to the lane and sank a three-pointer in a game-high 22 minutes. "In an all-star game, you don't always get the ball as much as you like," said Harris, who admitted to some early frustration. "You have to take advantage when you do get the ball."
So Harris tried to score nearly every time he got a touch in a high-scoring contest that featured sparkling, quick-footed guard play and crowd-pleasing dunks. Co-MVP Doron Lamb of New York City scored 23 points for Skip to My Lou, the nickname of Rucker Park alum Rafer Alston. The co-MVPs for The Goat, the nickname of city playground legend Earl Manigault, were Josh Selby of Baltimore (18 points, including two spectacular dunks) and C.J. Leslie of North Carolina (15 points, 11 rebounds).
Harris' style is more efficient than flamboyant, and the on-court DJ/announcer Friday night kidded him about not smiling on the court. "He always had a really good skill set for a kid his size," said Tom Konchalski of Queens, the well-respected recruiting guru who sat in the top row of the bleachers at Gaucho Park as part of an overflow crowd of 1,800. "But he was Bambi out there. His body had to catch up to his game. He had a great summer, his body matured and he's gotten much stronger."
Konchalski, a candid observer, said Harris needed to become "an inside-outside player" in order to attain his elite status. "One knock on him was that he wanted to play too much on the perimeter," Konchalski said. "He shouldn't limit himself. He needs to use his size as a weapon more."
Harris did indeed flex some muscle Friday night. "It was a bonus getting the co-MVP," he said. "It's definitely a nice way to end the summer."

D' Aprile Stone Humidor
- November 12, 2008 |
- By Andrew Nagy
In the market for an elegant and unique humidor that is sure start a conversation wherever it's displayed? Cast your eye on a stone humidor from D'Aprile Humidors.
A Texas-based company founded in January, D'Aprile Humidors claims to be the first and only company to construct humidors made of stone.
"We have two preliminary patents in the works" on the products and building process, said co-owner David D'Aprile.
Whether it uses granite, onyx or marble, the company constructs each of its stone humidors literally from the ground up, using only choice stone. There is no prefabricated stone in these humidors, and each is produced in the United States.
The process starts with the customer, who either selects one of the models from the company's Web site, daprilehumidors.com, or requests a customized piece.
A master mason in San Diego then cuts the stone and sends it on to a master carpenter, who lines the stone with either mahogany or cedar.
"We don't have masons messing with wood," said D'Aprile.
The company also will mix and match stone, if desired, and can etch or engrave a message, symbol, or other mark into the humidor.
For the finishing touch, a German-made Adorini hair hygrometer is affixed to each piece.
D'Aprile stone humidors range in price from $1,800 for a 15-count humidor, to $12,000 for a 300-count cabinet. Price is also subject to the amount of customization.
Cigar Aficionado has not tested the humidors in action, so we cannot vouch for their performance, but their unique style is undeniable.

This isn't a typical election year in Minnesota's 6th Congressional District.
For the first time since Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann ran for Congress in 2006, there's no third-party candidate on the ballot. And that means a swath of voters is up for grabs, a development that could shift the race in favor of her DFL opponent, hotel magnate Jim Graves.
"I think it makes a huge difference that this is the first head-to-head race that Rep. Bachmann has had to face in that district," said Tom Horner, a former Independence Party gubernatorial candidate who supports Graves and who advocated to keep the 6th District a two-party race this year.
The good news for Bachmann is that her district became more conservative during redistricting. She's also outraised Graves, picking up $16 million since the start of the campaign, according to OpenSecrets.org. Graves has raised roughly $1.5 million, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.
And a new KSTP/SurveyUSA poll shows Bachmann leading Graves by 9 percentage points. Graves' biggest challenge between now and Election Day is making sure people in the district know who he is, given 28 percent of voters have a neutral opinion of him and 17 percent have no opinion.
Though the Republican Party of Minnesota released a memo highly critical of Graves' business record earlier this month, chair Pat Shortridge said that doesn't indicate the party is worried about Bachmann's success.
"Voters across the 6th Congressional District deserve to have an idea of 'who is Jim Graves,' what has he done," Shortridge said.
Still, there are some signs Bachmann is facing a tough re-election.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is pledging to put resources into Graves' campaign. And Bachmann has never won her district by a landslide, partly because third-party candidates siphoned votes from her and her DFL opponent.
In 2008, Independence Party candidate Bob Anderson snagged 10 percent of the vote. Bachmann walked away with 46 percent while Democrat Elwyn Tinklenberg had 43 percent of the vote.
It is one factor that prompted the Cook Political Report, which tracks U.S. House races, to change its rating for the 6th from "likely Republican" to "leans Republican."
"Once again, Bachmann has taken a slam-dunk district and made it a competitive race," said House Editor David Wasserman. "If there hadn't been a third-party candidate in 2006 and 2008, she might well have lost."
Meanwhile, polling commissioned by Graves suggests a tight race, and that independents favor him.
College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University political science professor Kay Wolsborn says you can't predict how independents would have voted in the absence of a third-party candidate.
But the Graves surveys shouldn't be ignored, she added.
"Speculation is that those people who voted for a third-party candidate knew Michele Bachmann well enough that they could have voted for her if they wanted to, so they counted that as a vote against her," Wolsborn said.
Ron Hustvedt, a writer and a teacher in Elk River, is among those independent voters.
"I'm not really excited about it, but I'm voting for Graves," he said.
Hustvedt is not impressed with Graves' background. But he says Bachmann is too focused on her own national profile, a quality underscored by her recent run for president.
Wooing voters like Hustvedt is critical to Graves' campaign calculus. In fact, Graves said he would not have run had there been extra competition.
"Any of those people who are saying 'I don't know,' they don't have a default vote any longer," Graves said. "Now they either have to vote for Jim Graves or Michele Bachmann."
Graves says he's reaching out to independent voters, talking up his centrist views on the economy and business, and touting his leadership of Graves Hospitality Corporation, which owns hotel properties.
Graves is also arguing that Bachmann is too divisive for the district.
"If Romney wins this election, you want someone who can talk to [Mitt] Romney, someone who can talk to [House Speaker John] Boehner, and get things done," Graves said.
Though the 6th District Independence Party cannot endorse Graves, Chairman Steve Laitinen thinks Graves is more like an IP candidate than a Democrat, and that he expects IP voters to support Graves.
But former candidate Anderson disagrees.
"I know a lot of people think that my votes in the 2008 with Elwyn Tinklenberg would have gone to him, but I disagree because I'm a conservative-leaning independent," he said. "I feel those votes would have gone to Bachmann."
Bachmann's campaign manger Chase Kroll said Graves isn't really a moderate.
"Congresswoman Bachmann has always been a target of the far left," he wrote in an email. "That's why Jim Graves brought Barney Frank to town," referring to a fundraiser that featured the top liberal on the Financial Services Committee.
Bachmann says her record will appeal to independent voters.
"We have a very strong, clear contrast in this race," she said. "We have a big spender on one side ... and on my side have a very clear record of being an independent thinker and also an independent voter taking on my own party as well as the big spending ways of [House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi."
