U.S. Safe Manufacturer Profits With High-Tech Factory South Of The Border
Nov. 29--TIJUANA --For California companies, Mexico can be an especially attractive bet, analysts say. The ability to order in small batches means that designs can be changed quickly and production can be revved up and slowed down in a matter of days instead of months.
That can be invaluable during the holidays, as San Bernardino-based Cannon Safe learned.
On Black Friday in 2008, the safe manufacturing company received a panicked call from a major retailer that had drastically slimmed...

Mary Poppins & the Illustrations of Mary Shepard
"Mary Poppins takes the children on a walk to the nearby park. There they meet Bert, the pavement artist, who is busy creating his latest work of art. The children are bored with the park and wary of Bert's ragged clothes. Mary Poppins urges them to look beyond the surface of everyday life to see the magic that lies beneath (A Jolly Holiday)"
The quintessential English pavement artist BERT was a character invented by the Australian born writer Pamela Travers, and included in her 1934 book MARY POPPINS. Remembered affectionately by everybody following the 1964 film release by Walt Disney, and bizarrely played by Dick Van Dyke, who possessed the worst London cockney accent in the history of cinema.
In all eight books were published between 1934 and 1988
Mary Poppins, published 1934
Mary Poppins Comes Back, published 1935
Mary Poppins Opens the Door, published 1943
Mary Poppins in the Park, published 1952
Mary Poppins From A to Z, published 1962
Mary Poppins in the Kitchen, published 1975
Mary Poppins in Cherry Tree Lane, published 1982
Mary Poppins and the House Next Door, published 1988
The Mary Poppins that many people know of today; a stern, but sweet, lovable, and reassuring British nanny – is a far cry from the character created by Pamela Lyndon Travers in the 1930′s. Instead, this is the Mary Poppins reinvented by Walt Disney in the eponymous movie.
The books by PL Travers, shed light on the origins of Mary Poppins, and draw important parallels between the character and the life of her creator, who worked as a nanny herself, the books are a literary success and continue to have such a strong popular reception throughout the world. They also demonstrate how subversive Mary Poppins truly was. The nanny was a figure adopted during the Victorian and Edwardian Age to embody, teach, and pass on the most rigid and rigorous rules values of that society – the very ones that Mary Poppins herself comes to unsettle.
How odd childhood was for the middle classes, if they had no siblings it was not uncommon for them to spend their entire first seven years with no other children to play with, unless under carefully controlled conditions. Many children spent relatively little time with their parents. In these circumstances, dependence on a nanny could be absolute, the world the nanny created was often, the only world they knew.
One of the odd things about the Poppins books is that they do not encourage a child's creativity; they allow access to a world in which other people have the adventures and the children mostly watch.
Travers chose an illustrator, a young woman named Mary Shepard, whose father, Ernest Shepard, had illustrated the "Winnie-the-Pooh" books. It was the beginning of a long, fruitful, and often unhappy relationship. Shepard illustrated all of the "Mary Poppins" books, though often with some bitterness: Travers allowed her almost no license in how she composed images. Travers was intimately involved in all aspects of the physical production of her books, including the colour of the dust jackets and the typeface.
The original book, which came out in 1934, was not only popular with children but well received by the audience whose opinion she valued most. T. S. Eliot, who was then an editor at Faber and Faber, expressed interest; Ted Hughes later wrote to tell her that Sylvia Plath had loved "Mary Poppins." Princess Margaret and Caroline Kennedy were both admirers.
Bert the pavement artist appeared in almost all the Mary Poppins books.
The Illustrator, Mary Shepard, was the daughter of Ernest Shepard; better known for his illustrations of Winnie the Pooh. But in 1932, he illustrated a little known book of poems by Jan Struther (Tales from Sycamore Square) This is thought to be Mary's original inspiration for Bert in Mary Poppins, and it is quite possibly the illustrations used to inform the Disney production team.

"She (Urilla Judell) was a beautiful energetic bubbly girl," said Prentice cross country coach Lisa Enders.
"She (Morgan Dering) had a twinkle in her eye, she was a schemer, she was a prankster, and she made people laugh," Buccaneers volleyball coach Mike Murphy said.
The loss of Urilla Judell and Morgan Dering devastated the community of Prentice.
"It was just....you're in disbelief, because she was just at practice that night," Enders said.
In the days since, the teams the two girls took part in have have found ways to pull together and grieve the loss by honoring their fallen teammates.
"We're going to carry her jersey with us all season. It'll be on the chairs," said Murphy.
And since the days of the accident, Students at school and all of the people of Prentice have leaned on each other for support.
Said Murphy, "I think its shown how close this town really is, because the parents have opened the doors to the kids, and everyone is grieving together."
Communities from all over northcentral Wisconsin have helped with the grieving process; sending gifts and gestures of sympathy to the Prentice community.
"We missed a tournament in Auburndale and last week we got a poster signed by all of the players that played in the volleyball tournament," said Murphy.
"Phillips is a really strong xc team and for them to go to the copper falls meet and run together in honor of Urilla was phenomenal," Enders said, about the Phillips cross country team paying tribute to the passing of Judell.
Honoring the fallen two who in life...and death...were inseparable.
"They were best friends, they were always together," said Enders.
An eternal friendship that personifies the unity between a school, a town and all of northcentral Wisconsin.

"New York mavericks No-Neck Blues Band and Munich-based Krautrock band Embryo explore the indigenous urban music phenomenon on this, their debut collaborative release. The No-Neck Blues Band are one of the most enigmatic, mysterious, and defiantly anti-commercial groups to emerge from the New York loft scene during the '90s. The collective was formed in 1992 around a core of multi-instrumentalists who have stubbornly and admirably insisted on individual anonymity. Incorporating elements of folk, drone, psychedelia, free jazz, noise, and just about everything else, NNCK have nevertheless carved out a distinctive sound from complementary and disparate component elements.
One of the most original and innovative Krautrock bands, Embryo fused traditional ethnic music with their own jazzy space rock style. Over their 30-year existence, during which Christian Burchard has been the only consistent member, the group has traveled the world, playing with hundreds of different musicians and releasing over twenty records. Melding their wildly diverse forays into experimental, blues, Middle Eastern, Turkish and African music, these two groups have since become brothers in unparalleled improvisatory spirit, and EmbryoNNCK is the fruit of that merge."-Staubgold.

1.) TEACH-VIP - "is a comprehensive injury prevention and control curriculum which has been developed through the efforts of WHO and a network of global injury prevention experts. Currently, the most recent version of TEACH-VIP is TEACH-VIP 2, which is a second iteration of the training materials since the launch of TEACH-VIP in 2005.
This manual, jointly developed by WHO and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, describes interventions of known effectiveness, those supported by emerging evidence, and those that could potentially be effective, but have yet to be sufficiently evaluated for their impact. For instance, school-based programs to prevent violence occurring in "dating relationships" have been shown to be effective in randomized trials in the USA and Canada. Evidence is emerging for the effectiveness of empowerment approaches which use microfinance combined with gender-equality training or are based on communications and relationship skills training such as the Stepping Stones training package, which has been widely used in low- and middle-income countries. Strategies that aim to prevent intimate partner and sexual violence through reducing the harmful use of alcohol also show promise. A six-step framework for planning, implementing and evaluating such prevention programs and policies is presented.
This report, produced by the Pan American Health Organization, in collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, highlights that intimate partner and sexual violence against women is widespread in all Latin American and the Caribbean countries where survey data are available
Summary Report:
English Spanish
The information sheets in this series were jointly developed by the WHO and the Pan American Health Organization in order to summarize what is known about various aspects of violence against women with the aim of facilitating access to high quality data and promoting evidence-based policy and programs. This series is aimed at program managers, practitioners, researchers, policy-makers and others working in a wide range of sectors and in every country. Some information sheets address specific forms of violence against women, while others address related health and social issues, such as HIV, intersections with child maltreatment, costs and consequences, and promising practices to address violence against women.
Overview Intimate Partner Violence Sexual Violence Femicide Human Trafficking Female Genital Mutilation Health Consequences
This manual provides tools and guidelines that health care managers can use to improve the health care responses to gender-based violence in developing countries. It includes practical tools to determine provider attitudes to gender-based violence, legal definitions, the responsibilities of health care providers, and the quality of care. The manual utilizes IPPF/WHR's experience of integrating services for women experiencing violence into sexual and reproductive health services.

A passerby spotted the suspicious looking package wrapped in duct tape and covered in a powdery substance lying near a fire hydrant, at 675 North Main Street in Centerville.
Police were called to the scene. They closed Main Street from Parrish Lane to Chase Lane during the investigation.
A bomb squad was also summoned to x-ray the package.
Around 4:00 p.m., the hazmat team confirmed that the package was not an explosive devise, but they removed the package to check the substance. Main Street was reopened at this time.
At 4:50 p.m. it was determined that the powdery substance was nothing more than baking flour.

Carmelo Anthony in Air Jordan III "Oregon Pit Crew"
December 6th, 2012 by Brendan Dunne | 6 comments
Melo has been a huge figure in New York sports ever since making his move out to the Big Apple a couple of years ago, but that doesn't mean he can't still rock gear that has an association outside of the Empire State. At the recent Dare to Fly Air Jordan XX8 after party for instance, Carmelo Anthony showed up with the Air Jordan III 'Pit Crew' on feet, that Oregon flavored 1 of 500 sneaker.

- BoE, ECB ease pressure on lenders
- Moody's downgrades 15 global banks
- Resources stocks weigh on London market
Resource stocks were weighing heavily on the FTSE 100 on Friday afternoon, sending the index one per cent lower, despite actions by central banks in the UK and the Eurozone to ease the pressure on bank lending.
Credit ratings agency Moody's has downgraded 15 major banks and financial instiutions, including the major lenders on Britain's High Street. Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), Barclays, Lloyds and HSBC all got the downgrade treatment as the agency completed its review of the global banking sector. Barclays' rating was downgraded by two notches while the ratings of the others were ratcheted down by one level.
In spite of this, banking stocks were broadly higher today on the back of reports that the Bank of England's financial policy committee (FPC) will announce a reduction of between 20-30% in banks' liquidity buffers to support lending.
Meanwhile, the European Central Bank (ECB) announced that it has relaxed some of its collateral rules on banks in an effort "to further support the provision of credit to households and non-financial corporations." The ECB said it had reduced the rating threshold and amended the eligibility requirements for certain asset-backed securities, thus broadening the scope of measures to increase collateral availability.
In other news, Spanish banks will need 51-62bn euros in additional capital in a worst case scenario, according to the independent consultants Oliver Wyman and Roland Berger hired by the government to perform a new round of stress tests on its financial sector. Spain is expected to make a formal request for assistance from the EU some time over the next few days.
Germany's business confidence indicator compiled by the IFO Institute fell from 106.9 to 105.3 in June, a two-year low. The market was expecting a reading of 105.9.
Banking peers Lloyds, HSBC and Barclays were all making gains on Friday afternoon despite having their credit ratings downgraded by Moody's, after the news of easing liquidity buffers. RBS, which was also downgraded by Moody's, finished flat.
Lloyds said that Moody's recognised "the substantial momentum we have made in de-risking our balance sheet and delivering on our strategy." However, RBS said it disagreed with the ratings change as it is "backward-looking and does not give adequate credit for the substantial improvements the group has made to its balance sheet, funding and risk profile."
Heading the other way were the miners and oil stocks with Fresnillo, Petrofac, AMEC, Glencore and Kazakhmys among the worst performers.
Shares in cruise ship operator Carnival were sinking after the group released its second-quarter results. Profit before tax slumped to just $14m from $206m the year before, after the firm was hit by a $145m adjustment relating to fuel derivatives.
Recruitment firm Michael Page International fell after Credit Suisse downgraded its recommendation from 'neutral' to 'underperform', saying that on a risk-reward basis, the stock is the 'most vulnerable of the employment agencies given weakening economic conditions'.
Heading the other way was price comparison website Moneysupermarket.com after Citi upgraded the stock to 'buy', while Domino's Pizza delivered gains after Canaccord Genuity raises its recommendation to 'buy'.
Private equity investment firm 3i rose on the back of press speculation of potential organisational changes at the company. The group released a statement saying that "the commentary is speculative in nature and the company has no comment at this time."
Defence technology contractor Cobham dropped after saying that its division, Cobham Aviation Services, will not be converting the remaining UK Voyager aircraft. The company in charge of the project, AirTanker, has decided to relocate the conversion operation to Spain.

Early in President Obama's first term, there was a video of him being interviewed about a program whereby he would create a civilian defense force as well-armed and trained as the military's Special Forces. It seemed like a strange topic at the time and the video has since been removed from the Internet.
However, in light of the Department of Homeland Security's procurements and solicitations for guns and ammunition in the last year, a lot of speculation has popped up on Internet sites. The solicitations are posted on federal government Internet sites and the requests for proposals show a request for 7,000 assault rifles with high capacity magazines, chambered for the 5.56 caliber NATO rounds. The procurements also include 9mm and .40 caliber pistol ammunitions as well as 200,000 sniper rounds. Of the millions of rounds of ammunition requested, 450 million are to be hollow point rounds.
If you couple this with the president's policies of relieving military commanders who have indicated they would not order troops under their command to fire on American civilians in a civil disturbance, you begin to think that DHS may be building a civilian defense force. Or maybe they are serious about securing the U.S. borders. You be the judge.
In recent history there are a couple of well-known regimes that resorted to the creation of a powerful civilian defense force. One was the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin known as the NKVD which later became the KGB. And Nazi Germany under Adolph Hitler created the Gestapo. If you are not familiar with these two organizations you may want to do a little research to see how they operated under the precepts of these two socialist dictators.

Around half the public is tuned in to the controversies that are consuming the nation's capital, according to a new poll.
But the Gallup survey indicates party affiliation is playing a role in how closely people are keeping an eye on the controversies. And according to the poll, most say further investigation is needed.
Fifty-four percent of Americans say they've very or somewhat closely watched the news that the Internal Revenue Service applied greater scrutiny to conservative political groups that applied for tax exempt status. Twenty-two percent said they were not following the news that closely and just under one in four are not watching that closely.
About the same percentage of Americans are tuned into the congressional hearings into last September's attack in Benghazi, which left the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans dead. According to the poll, 53% were very or somewhat closely watching, with 22% not following the news that closely and just under a quarter not watching at all.
"Despite extensive news coverage of these stories in recent days, the level of attention being paid to each is below the average 60% of Americans who have closely followed more than 200 news stories Gallup has measured over the past several decades," says a release by Gallup. "Additionally, Americans appear to be paying almost exactly the same levels of attention to both stories, despite the relative newness of the IRS story during the time in which this survey was in the field."
There's a big partisan divide over who's watching.
Two-thirds of Republicans said they were very or somewhat closely watching IRS and Benghazi controversies. That number drops to the low to mid fifties for independents and the low to mid forties for Democrats questioned in the survey.
Nearly three quarters agree that the IRS controversy needs to be investigated, with 69% feeling the same thing about the Benghazi situation. But as with who's watching, there's a wide partisan divide over the need for further investigation.
The Gallup poll was conducted Tuesday and Wednesday with 1,022 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus four percentage points.

Gene Smith
Medicine may be an an ancient art, but based on what I'm seeing as I transcribe dozens of old letters, it's the impulse to heal that is ancient. Generally speaking, consistent success is a very recent phenomenon.
My mother was born during the 1918 influenza pandemic that killed millions. There was no cure, nothing to stop it. Neighbors on both sides died. My grandmother caught it, but survived. At one point she wrote of visiting a sick friend "who is living in a cage in the yard."
At least they understood contagion.
A generation before, when Civil War surgeons knew just enough to lop off shattered limbs before infection finished what bad aim had started, people hung over bedridden kin, sucking in air laden with viruses and bacteria. Small wonder that doctors were among the casualties.
My great-great grandfather's youngest brother, who practiced medicine in Fayetteville in the 1830s, died at age 29 of some unnamed malady probably contracted from a patient. Later, his niece married a doctor who also practiced here. He died of a blocked bowel.
People, as my mother once pointed out, used to be fairly philosophical about such matters. If you fell ill one of two things would happen. You'd get better or you'd die. "Waiting to see" is a common refrain in many of these letters. When almost anything was potentially fatal - prostate enlargement, coronary artery disease, breach birth, diabetes, kidney stones - what else was there to do but wait and see?
Here's something her mother's mother's aunt wrote, post-Reconstruction:
"We made all sorts of things during the war. Drugs were hard to get for the hospitals, and all kinds of herbs, barks and roots were dried and went to the hospitals. Large beds of lettuce were planted and let grow a tall stalk, and early in the morning someone would go out with a needle and slit the stalks in several places. The milk would run out and harden on the stalk, and at sunset someone would go with a little knife and a piece of paper, and collect the hardened drops. This was used as opium. Also, rose leaves were dried and sent with the drugs."
Some things actually helped - including the lettuce, although probably not as an opiate. And no wilderness medicine guide is complete without attention to the pain-relieving properties of willow bark. But the great breakthroughs, and the giants like Walter Reed and Louis Pasteur, were the exceptions.
Not all drugs were produced solely for health benefit. Around here every history buff eventually encounters "McDuffie's map" (actually, he drew more than one), showing not only 19th-century routes and destinations, but soil types and what grew well in them, including chufas, a turkey feed also widely believed to be a mild stimulant.
If you can stand being introduced to another family doctor - Smith family, that is - two stories survive about a great-great-uncle who practiced in Harnett County.
In one, he had a patient with a respiratory problem eat moldy bread. There's no record of how this experiment, conducted at least 20 years before penicillin was developed for medical use, turned out.
In the other, he "treated" a hypochondriac patient with a placebo (bread pills) and the delighted patient soon returned to thank him for her amazing recovery.
Medicine is like that, by turns tragic and comic. But, in perusing old documents, two things stand out: the fragility of human life and the great good fortune of those of us born within the past dozen decades.

Budget Whisky Review 1: Black Grouse
Hi drammers, this is my first post
I have been into whisky for about 5 years and have tasted many a malt in that time. I was lucky to lived mainly in Japan during that time, where the range and price of quality whisky is unbelievable. My fav standard bottlings include Yoichi, Talisker, Aberlour, Laphroaig and Springbank. Now I am back in New Zealand and on a slightly more constrained budget I have begun researching lower-priced whisky. I will post a series of reviews on my journey through the world of budget malts and blends, hopefully some other poor bastards out there will find them useful!!
My first experiment was a bottle of Black Grouse which I have just finished (not in one sitting
) It cost me NZ$40 which is very reasonable for whisky in New Zealand. Black Grouse is a marriage of peated Islay malts with the standard Famous Grouse. So how was it...?
When I first opened the bottle and had a sniff I was delighted - a delicious aroma of sweet peat wafted out. Then I poured a glass, stuck my nose in and...oh no! The peat had been largely replaced with the sickly grainy stink of a cheap blend. Huge turn off. Anyway, I had a swig and rolled it around in my mouth. First impression was a hit of sickly grain, and I also noted that it was medium-thin, definately not mouth coating. The swallow was better, the peat returned amidst a decent, medium length finish which still contained a good dose of 'cheap blend' flavour. One thing I noticed is that this blend
smooth - almost no burn. I finished my dram, savouring certain aspects of the whisky (the peat) but not enjoying the sickly grain and wishing I'd splashed out on a Laphroaig instead.
So that was my first impression - doesn't sound so good huh? Well I hope nobody has been put off by my lengthy review and stopped reading already coz it gets better! What I discovered is this - add a couple of drops of water (not much coz it's only 40%), cover your glass and leave for 30 mins. I seldom do this with malts coz I like all the raw flavour but I found this is an excellent method of getting rid of the 'cheap blend' flavours present in the Black Grouse. Now when I returned to the glass it smelled more like a very soft Islay with only a hint of the blend smell left. It really was a different whisky, and good enough that I polished off half a bottle during an extended Roland Garros viewing session!
Tip: When applying the 'add water and stand' method, always have two glasses on the go so you are never without a dram!
Summary: This blend really needs a drop of water and a rest before dramming - but then it becomes a good, solid whisky with a decent whack of peat. Very good for the price.
Score: 71
Value for money: 83

Forcing an audio item in the VXML Gateway Cache to be refreshed using a VXM

Quick Reply
We have nearly 60 msg on a Vxml Application loaded direct on Tomcat Cisco built in. We dont have a Media Server.
We need only 10 messages can be dynamically.
On old brand plataform on customer we have a shared folder on network, the customer execute a simple copy of a new audio file. After that, the audio file is reload automaticaly on IVR system.
Is possible implement something like this on Cisco enviroment?
I try forcing an audio item in the VXML Gateway Cache to be refreshed using a VXML Application - set the VXML Property 'audiomaxage' to '0' and speak a URI from the app.
But didnt work as expected, the new audio content cannot load.
1 - Is mandatory use a commnads on VXML Gateway?
2 - The commands on gateway should be used all times, when we need reload a unique message?
3 - We have a way on to use the commands on VXMLGateway one time, after that, it is possible try a something control directly on VXML application?
4 - Could you explain better if is possible the "STALE" command on audio files on gateway its only works IIS or can be possible use a Tomcat?

Yes, this is possible.
1) Its is possible to force the vxml gateway not to use the cached version of the file.
I do this on CVP support application we use to tests the current status of the media servers (and other parts of UCCE).
I.e. if the file is cached and the VXML Gateway does not send a HTTP request to the Media Server you do not know if the media servers are actually working or not.
IN the CVP Studio Application for a single Audio Element I need NOT to cache, I set the two VXML properties
(Caching: safe was for VXML 1.0)
When this audio is played, the VXML Gateway always queries the Web Server for the Media File.
However if the file that is uploaded on the media server has not been modified (or if its creation date is older than the one that is cached), the VXML gateway will NOT download the file.
I would therfore not use the above approach I would do teh following:
1) Use IIS as your Media server
2) Set the Expire Caching for the media server folder to be 10 minutes (so max lenth of time for any audio file before VXML Gateway queries IIS for audio file is 10 minutes. Notice this is a Conditional get, and the VXML Gateway will still not redownload the file if it has not changed, so its not high traffic volume.
3) Always make sure thay any new prompts you upload to replace old prompts have a modefiied date LATER than the existing ones.
4) If audio files do NOT have a later modified date later than the existing files, use the a program such as as modified date 2.0 to change the modified date
You could automate this very easily using a batch file.
1) Use batch file to bulk update modified date on audio files by passing files through SOX (which can also convert audio files if required
I use sox a audio command line tool pass through audio files. You can see a example bulk batch file located here:
2) use a sheduled task to run batch files and copy files up to IIS folder (which could have a sheared network folder, so batch file could copy files up)

But-for test
A test commonly used to determine actual causation. The test simply asks, "but for the existence of X, would Y have occurred?" If the answer is yes, then factor X is an actual cause of result Y.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
One of several tests to determine a defendant's responsibility for the subject of a lawsuit or criminal proceeding. For example, the prosecutor may need to argue that: "But for the defendant's speeding, the car would not have gone out of control, and therefore the defendant is responsible." This is shorthand for whether the action was the "proximate cause" of the damage.

sorry DBD, you are about to get probed.
Well of course. You didn't tell me we had a waxing gibbous moon.
look assholes, this shit was cool as fuck. I suggest you get outside and watch for these things. They say you'll see them all night. It's nice out anyway. You could tell it was so fucking high and had to be moving so fast. I'm totally tripping out.
I've been watching but the moon is waxing gibbous so nothing yet
I'm so happy I saw this tonight. I saw the aurora around here once too long ago. Nature is amazing.
Dude, me and the wife go down to the Lake Ontario shore every year and watch this one...trust me, if the night is clear, you will be treated to a wicked show.
August 11 and 12, 2012 Perseids
And when we say August 11 or 12, we mean the morning hours after midnight – not that night. We give the nod to August 12, though the morning of August 13 (with a thinner crescent) may be just about as good. The waning crescent moon will rise around midnight or later, only somewhat obscuring the Perseid display during the shower's actual peak. The moonlight shouldn't be so overwhelming as to ruin the show. These typically fast and bright meteors radiate from a point in the constellation Perseus the Hero. You don't need to know Perseus to watch the shower because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky. The Perseids are considered by many people to be the year's best shower, and often peak at 50 or more meteors per hour in a dark sky. The Perseids tend to strengthen in number as late night deepens into midnight, and typically produce the most meteors in the wee hours before dawn. These meteors are often bright and frequently leave persistent trains. Starting at mid to late evening on the nights of August 10/11, 11/12 and 12/13, watch for the Perseid meteors to streak across these short summer nights from late night until dawn, with only a little interference from the waning crescent moon.

Hope you have a bike-filled 2009!
Happy New Year. 2009 will be a corker, I can feel it. And here's how bike-filled it's going to be. I've placed a bunch of bikey dates into an online calendar, which you can subscribe to. Once you've added it to your iCal calendar or Google Calendar, all new dates and date changes are handled automagically. Pushed to our iPhone via the cloud, that sort of thing.
There's a Google calendar button on the left. If you're not already a Google member pressing this button will prompt you to become one.
Flick through the months on the calendar below and you'll see 2009's trade and consumer shows, major events – such as the Tour de France – and lots of other notable stuff. It's by no means a complete list of every bike-specific date, there are many regional Google/iCal calendars which can fill in the gaps for you.
However, if you feel there are some international, or important national, bike events that ought to go on this calendar, please email the missing events, and their dates and URLs. Thanks.
Here are some other ways to get the data…

'Fort Report'
This week's show will feature Dan O'Connell, president of Visit Fort Wayne, who will discuss the recent Democratic state convention and other efforts to promote local tourism. The episode will premiere at 5:30 p.m. Saturday on Comcast Channel 57 and FiOS Channel 27 and later at news-sentinel.com. |
The "G" has been short for "General" since 1908, even though a $50 billion bailout three years ago induced critics to suggest it should be "Government" instead.
This week, however, some people are asking whether GM really means "Gay Motors."
Oh say, can you see a rainbow "pride" flag flying just below the Stars and Stripes at the company's Fort Wayne truck assembly plant? Yes you can – although whether that represents a gesture of tolerance and respect or a slap in the face to traditionally minded employees is a matter of considerable debate.
"With 3,600 employees, some obviously are not happy. It's emotional either way, but GM has a strong 'diversity' policy," plant spokeswoman Stephanie Jentgen explained, noting that the current flag representing GM's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees will be rotated with the Indiana state flag and banners representing the United Auto Workers and 11 other "Employee Resource Groups" representing the disabled, veterans, blacks, Asians, Native Americans, Vietnamese, Hispanics, women, Chinese and others.
Nowhere in all of that diversity, however, is there a flag representing people who are perfectly willing to treat gays and everyone else with respect but compelled for religious or other reasons to draw a line between tolerance and glorification.
"We don't have a flag for Christians or other religious groups," Jentgen said, noting that she's not sure the idea has even been discussed or what the reaction might be if it were.
But If you truly are "committed to building a global culture of diversity and inclusion" and want to "foster constructive dialogue on the importance of diversity at GM," as a company statement insists, shouldn't discussion of such an admittedly "emotional" issue leave room for more than one point of view?
"Why are we celebrating what someone does in the bedroom?" said Tammy Soter-Simoes, a member of UAW Local 2209. "My faith teaches me to love people of all races and religions despite their differences. We are all sinners, but I won't celebrate it. Why doesn't GM celebrate our faith? Why doesn't GM celebrate life?"
To the modern, politically correct ear accustomed to hearing even churches ignore Scripture in order to promote inclusiveness, such words are jarring and will be dismissed by some as hateful or homophobic. But they also represent centuries of mainstream cultural, political and religious thought – thought reflected in the fact that proposals to legalize same-sex marriage have been defeated in all 32 states in which it has been put to a vote.
Although some have objected to the fact that the rainbow flag replaced a banner honoring America's prisoners of war, that misses the point. The POW flag, Jentgen noted, has been moved to a more prominent display along Interstate 69.
What matters is the fact that efforts to promote inclusiveness and diversity can simply replace one form of intolerance with another if unevenly applied.
As an employer, GM has every right to establish and enforce job-related codes of conduct for its employees. If hostility, threats or violence have been directed toward gays or members of any other group, the company would have both a legal and moral obligation to address it.
However, religious issues, unlike sexual behavior, are explicitly protected by the Constitution.
Efforts to paint the gay-rights movement as just the latest quest for civil rights miss the obvious point that the current movement is about behavior, not race or gender. Society judges and establishes limits on behavior all the time as competing viewpoints evolve, and if GM is taking sides it is not really promoting diversity at all, is it?
So until GM hoists a flag in support of all those middle-aged, religious, straight white guys who for some strange reason are always made to feel unimportant or worse in the never-ending search for inclusiveness, maybe GM should simply hoist the state flag beneath Old Glory and leave it there.
Black or white, male or female, straight or gay, atheist or believer, we are all Americans and Hoosiers. Aren't the things that unite us at least as important as the relatively superficial things that too often divide us?
Let's celebrate those for a change.

Arctic slipped in the latest member in its reputed Accelero Twin Turbo series of graphics card coolers, the Accelero Twin Turbo 6990. As the name suggests, it is tailored for the top of the line AMD Radeon HD 6990 dual-GPU graphics card. The cooler is designed to cool everything on the obverse side of the PCB, that includes the two AMD Cayman GPUs, the VRM, and the bridge chip. The cooler's design consists of two main heat-pipe fed heatsinks over the two GPUs cooled by 120 mm fans, which are connected by a common base. The main heatsinks maintain contact with the GPUs through cutouts in this base, while other components pass heat on to the base. There is a third central heatsink that relies on the air-flow from the two ventilated heatsinks. In all, the heatsink measures 300 (L) x 138 (W) x 50 (H) mm, and weighs 820 g. It doesn't replace the AMD reference backplate, so PCB bending is checked that way. Backed by a 6-year warranty, the Accelero Twin Turbo 6990 is priced at US $150.
nice, this should ease the sound of a jet engine in your pc, arctic cooling are amazing at getting the noise waaaay done while still improving temps
Took them long enough...there are a lot of retailers (both on and offline) here in the UK that dont stock the 6990 anymore and they havent stocked it since the start of this year
Priced at $150... seems a bit high. But hey if you got the cash for a 6990 then i guess u got the cash for this too.
Given that it appears to be aluminum and not solid copper I would expect a sub $100 price, but I suspect they are gouging to make up for low volume sales.
I don't get the math I have a Twin Turbo Pro for the AMD 5850. It cost me 40 CHF or about $35.-. Sure there is maybe twice the hardware (450 grams and mine has 2 fans too) but I don't see how they can justify charging nearly 5 times the price. Maybe 3 times the Twin Turbo Pro for R&D and the fact it's twice as heavy... anyways good luck with sales!
I think you are correct, they can't have much demand at all for these. How many 6990's are out there anyway? It can't be many, and of those I doubt many people will buy this cooler. I wonder if it will fit on a next generation card.
Wow that's nice, never knew the spacing between the 2 gpu's is so big that you can land a Boeing 747 jumbo in between the 2 gpu's. I knew the 6990 cards was big but damn that is insane spacing. The 50mm that is what 2.5 / 3 pci/-e slots spacing about ? Can any gamer afford to loose that amount of space ? Can not see this being practical for xfire unless you have a decent mboard with lots of spacing. Surely there must be something more practical than this cooler and using less space / less weight ?
Hm....what happened to AC value for money? I don't know when AC changed hands but something tells me the price jump is most likely due to new management. I suppose anyone who is really annoyed by the 6990 shhhhhh sound and the heat it disperses would buy this.
I will say this, this AC is more of an air cooled waterblock than anything they produce now. No funny goop for the ram heatsinks, I mean everything gets covered with that plate. I would like to see this for single GPU cards over what is currently offered!
People buy 6990s to get bitcoins quickly, they then sell the bitcoins for real money, in a 6months time they pay for their 6990 just with their bitcoins or something like that.
