Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Blue Campaign, the unified voice for the Department's efforts to combat human trafficking, held its semi-annual stakeholder engagement alongside the Department of Education. The event brought together federal agencies, non-governmental organizations, schools, and private industry partners to raise awareness of human trafficking in middle schools, high schools, and colleges, and to identify opportunities for collaboration in our shared anti-human trafficking efforts.
During the morning session, representatives from President Lincoln's Cottage and FAIR Girls participated in a constructive dialogue on human trafficking prevention efforts in middle schools and high schools. During the afternoon session, representatives from the University of Oklahoma, Pennsylvania State University, and George Mason University participated in a panel discussion focused on how academic research is advancing the effort to combat modern-day slavery, and how college and university students are working to prevent human trafficking in unique ways.
We were also joined by U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp who highlighted the importance of raising awareness and working together to combat this terrible crime. Sen. Heitkamp has been a vocal advocate and leader in Congress on working to combat human trafficking.
Over the past year, the Blue Campaign has increased its outreach to the education community – including middle schools, high schools, and colleges – because we know the important role that schools play in educating communities about this issue, while also recognizing that students themselves may be vulnerable to human trafficking.
Today's event highlighted the importance of continued partnerships between DHS and our community of stakeholders to enhance our individual and collective abilities to identify and support victims, investigate cases, and bring those who commit and enable the crime of human trafficking to justice. Our work is far from over.

I encourage you to visit www.dhs.gov/bluecampaign to learn more, get involved, and join us in the fight against human trafficking.
By Lauren Kielsmeier, Executive Director for Academic Engagement
The Homeland Security Academic Advisory Council (HSAAC) recently celebrated three years of service to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Formed in March 2012, the HSAAC is comprised of a diverse group of university presidents, academic leaders, and interagency partners who advise the Secretary and senior leadership on matters related to homeland security and the academic community. Across the Council, members provide guidance on student and recent graduate recruitment; international students; academic research and faculty exchange; campus resilience; homeland security academic programs; and cybersecurity.
The Council's work has significantly improved the Department's engagement with the academic community. Through its six subcommittees, the Council has provided more than 100 recommendations to DHS. Of these, 82 percent have been fully or partially implemented, resulting in key accomplishments for both the Department and the academic community.
One such accomplishment is improved campus resilience and emergency planning efforts. In October 2014, the Council, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Office of Academic Engagement (OAE) hosted the National Seminar and Tabletop Exercise for Institutions of Higher Education, the first in a series of tabletop exercises targeted to colleges and universities. The event brought together more than 100 participants from 21 colleges and universities, providing key insights surrounding common planning, preparedness, and resilience best practices and challenges. Also addressing a Council recommendation, FEMA launched the Academia and Resilience web portal, containing program guides, tools, outreach materials, and downloadable tabletop and emergency planning exercises targeted to the academic community.
Additionally, the Council's work surrounding student and recent graduate recruitment has supported DHS's efforts to strengthen the diversity of its workforce and develop strategic partnerships with Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). In 2014, DHS signed Memoranda of Understanding with five higher education associations, collectively representing 1,531 institutions around the country. These agreements formalize and strengthen the relationship and communication between the Department and the national associations.
Council recommendations have supported increased transparency and engagement on international student issues. Based on Council advice, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) began publishing draft policy guidance for public input on the Study in the States website, with 14 pieces of policy guidance published for public comment to date. To expand engagement with the academic community, OAE partnered with the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), ICE SEVP, and the U.S. Department of State's EducationUSA network to host a webinar with HBCUs focused on recruiting and enrolling international students.
In support of the Department's mission to enhance cybersecurity, the Council's recommendations have also led to the promotion of key cybersecurity initiatives and resources, including the Secretary's Honors Program Cyber Student Volunteer Initiative. Also noteworthy are the Council's recommendations that resulted in the Department's identification of 34 of its key research priorities as well as efforts to provide guidance on homeland security degree requirements and programs at U.S. colleges and universities.
The Council has been an invaluable asset to the Department and our efforts to engage with the academic community. I am proud of the Council's accomplishments and grateful to its members for their service.

One year ago the Department of Homeland Security embarked on Secretary Jeh Johnson's "Unity of Effort" initiative, to begin to set the conditions for the Department to act in a more unified fashion.
Today, on behalf of the Secretary, I am pleased to report that the Unity of Effort is exceeding expectations in its goal to build and sustain a culture that recognizes the strong need to unify our efforts to address the diverse and numerous challenges we face in securing this nation and the American people.
Good leadership starts with good people. The senior leadership of the Department have been personally involved in wrestling with the difficult issues of the Department—issues of strategy, resource allocation, capability requirements, operational planning, joint operations, and headquarters organizational design—an a more inclusive, transparent way.
The Department has also made great strides in mission execution over the past year. The new DHS Southern Border and Approaches Campaign has become operational with the standup of our three new DHS joint task forces. These task forces will be instrumental in changing the way we operate as a Department in those mission areas that touch upon multiple DHS Components.
Our new joint requirements council is taking a hard look at what tools and resources the Department needs in order to operate in the future across a wide variety of mission areas: our aviation fleet, information-based screening and vetting equipment, information sharing systems; chemical biological radiological, and nuclear detection, and cybersecurity.
We are continuing to review and refine the Department's acquisition processes, to enhance the way DHS does business. Today, we are announcing the launch of the Acquisition Innovations in Motion (AIiM) program, that will create learning opportunities for DHS by listening to those who participate in our acquisition processes internally – like our own acquisition professionals – and externally – including enhanced engagement with the private sector.
As we move into its second year, the Unity of Effort initiative will continue to serve as a driving force for much of our day-to-day work to improve the Department. We will continue to make investments in our greatest resource – our workforce - through a number of human capital initiatives designed to weave unity of effort principles and practice into the fabric of the Department.
Our Department is diverse. Our duties are wide ranging. But our mission is clear: a safer, more secure nation for the American people. As the Department of Homeland Security continues to unify our efforts through leadership and management development, workforce engagement, successful operational execution, and refined acquisition processes, Secretary Johnson and I are confident that we will continue to deliver the best possible security of the homeland that the American people deserve.
Targets for cyberattacks are closer to home than most people think. The water we drink, the electricity that powers our homes, and the banks that store our money are all prime targets for hackers. Recognizing this ever-changing threat, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) leverages innovation in the cyber arena to keep pace with malicious actors who may seek to damage our critical infrastructure sectors.
The key to being able to defend against cyberattacks is getting the right technologies into the hands of industry, where most of our nation's cyber infrastructure exists. One way S&T helps DHS facilitate this process is through our Transition to Practice (TTP) program, which identifies promising federally-funded technologies and introduces them to industry during the research and development process.
This week, at the RSA Conference 2015 in San Francisco, S&T's Cyber Security Division (CSD) introduced 12 technologies– eight from the TTP program and four from other CSD programs. These technologies seek to advance the private sector's capabilities on cybersecurity issues such as cloud security, behavioral classification, and threat landscape analysis. The conference is the industry's largest global information security event where a broad audience—business, government and investors— comes together to discuss security.
Later this summer, on June 9, S&T will present all nine of its 2014 technologies at TTP Technology Demonstration Day for Investors, Integrators, and IT Companies (I3) – West, in Santa Clara, Calif. This technology demonstration will connect cybersecurity investors, integrators, and information technology professionals with the technology developers at the national laboratories with the goal of commercialization-- ultimately improving our nation's overall cybersecurity posture.
TTP, now in its third year, has 24 technologies ready for transition to the marketplace. Of these, three technologies—Quantum Secured Communication, Hone and Hyperion—have successfully transitioned into the marketplace via open sourcing and commercial licenses. Additionally, within the next few months S&T hopes to add two more technologies into the commercial market. The TTP process normally takes about three years, so we are excited about the work and what we have accomplished in such a short amount of time. We look forward to sharing future innovations in cybersecurity.
To learn more about this year's technologies, visit the 2015 TTP guide that gives a full listing and description.
Today, approximately 30,000 runners and 500,000 spectators gathered for the 119th Boston Marathon. Since the tragic events of April 15, 2013, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and local officials in the Boston area have strengthened partnerships and coordination to improve overall event security.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is supporting the Boston Marathon with approximately 1,200 federal officials, explosive ordinance detection teams, canine units, and behavioral detection field officers to assist the Federal Coordinator in helping the event planners enhance the overall event security. On the ground, participants and spectators may notice some of these revamped security measures, but many of these measures will be remain unseen. In fact, the lessons learned from the 2013 Boston tragedy have been incorporated at other special events across the nation to enhance overall security for the American public.
Assistant to the Special Agent in Charge Don McGrail, United States Secret Service, and Allison Thomson, Office of Operations Coordination, coordinate during the 118th Boston Marathon last April (photo by Massachusetts State Police).
Support for Boston Marathon security comes from all corners of DHS: the National Protection and Programs Directorate provides comprehensive infrastructure security assessments; the Office of Intelligence and Analysis provides intelligence information sharing; the Federal Emergency Management Agency supports emergency response, recovery, and communications; and the DHS Office of Operations Coordination and the National Operations Center handles federal support coordination. These efforts in Boston are overseen by Federal Coordinator U.S. Secret Service Special Agent in Charge Lisa Quinn, whom Secretary Johnson appointed to this role to participate in pre-event planning and coordinate the federal assets at the request of state and local event organizers.
"The federal agencies view their contributions to the overarching security plan for the 2015 Boston Marathon as an opportunity to 'give back' to our local and state partners who provide resources on a daily basis to our collective missions," said Special Agent Quinn.

Today, we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Department of Homeland Security's Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO). DNDO was established through presidential directive on April 15, 2005 with the singular mission to prevent nuclear terrorism through nuclear detection. In 2006, DNDO was tasked with the technical nuclear forensics mission. To accomplish our mission, DNDO collaborates with a wide range of partners and promotes innovative approaches to protect the nation. In fact, the Partnership for Public Service recently ranked DNDO # 2 for Innovation among 314 agency subcomponents, based on results from the 2014 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey.
Since its establishment, DNDO has made considerable advancements in making our homeland safer from nuclear terrorism. Our research and development efforts have led to new technologies that address critical detection needs. For instance, through our Small Business Innovation Research efforts, one such material, stilbene, is now domestically produced by industry at lower costs and in greater quantities.
Our testing, acquisition, and deployment of detection equipment for DHS operational components, including the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Transportation Security Administration, has ensured frontline personnel have the right tools to protect the nation from nuclear terrorism. Working with our state and local partners, DNDO is engaged with 33 states and will expand basic preventive nuclear detection efforts to reach all 50 states by the end of fiscal year 2015. From aiding our state and local partners to developing international guidance, DNDO works across all boundaries in furtherance of the mission. To enhance the detection capabilities of these partners, we assist with training, exercises, and assessments.
Partnerships with academia and the National Laboratories have restored a healthy pipeline of next-generation scientists in nuclear forensics-related fields in response to a national security demand. We are on track to have 35 new PhDs in the workforce by 2018 in nuclear forensics- related fields.
Planning efforts with the U.S. Government interagency have culminated in strategies and reports that guide the development and implementation of nuclear detection and forensic activities and capabilities. In 2014, DNDO along with the interagency, updated the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture Strategic Plan with mission, goals, and objectives for U.S. Government efforts to detect, analyze, and report on nuclear or other radioactive materials that are out of regulatory control. DNDO established the Nuclear Forensics Requirements Center, co-chaired with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which for the first time identifies, develops, and documents strategic, operational, and technical requirements across the nuclear forensics mission space. Through a government-wide approach, DNDO is leveraging interagency efforts to better and more effectively protect the Nation.
In the past ten years, we have seen a remarkable increase in our nation's capabilities to protect against nuclear terrorism. This is in large part, due to the great work of the men and women of DNDO, and we look forward to furthering this important mission in the decade to come.

With the April 15 deadline approaching, millions of Americans are finalizing the preparation and filing of their taxes. Unfortunately, tax season is a busy time for cyber criminals and scammers as well. Tax-refund fraud is a serious and fast-growing problem.
Tax-refund fraud happens when a cyber criminal steals someone's personal information to file a fake tax return and to claim that individual's the refund. To file a tax return online, they only need a name, date of birth, and a Social Security Number.
Cyber criminals are constantly searching for Social Security Numbers and other personal information that they can leverage for fraudulent purposes. Because identify theft and tax-refund fraud often starts long before tax season, it's important to protect your personal and financial information year round.
Here are some tips to protect yourself and your loved ones from tax-refund fraud:
- Don't give out your personal information, unless it is to a trusted entity. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages, or social media to request personal or financial information. If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, do not click on any links or reply. Instead, forward it to firstname.lastname@example.com and delete it from your inbox.
- Look out for phony messages or websites claiming to be from the IRS or tax preparation services. Exercise caution when opening suspicious email attachments and do not click on web links in unsolicited email messages. Scammers who try to access your personal or financial information may use the IRS name or logo in email messages and on fake websites to lure potential victims.
- Beware of promises of "free money" from inflated refunds. Scammers frequently pose as tax preparers during tax season. If you are contacted by someone who promises a large tax refund or a refund you are not expecting, do not give out any personal or financial information. If the offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.
- Back up your data and store your electronic tax files securely. Last year, most Americans opted to file their taxes online. When preparing your tax return for electronic filing, make sure to use a strong password. If you are working with an accountant, ask them what security measures they have in place to protect your personal information.
- Only share personal information over a secured network. Criminals increasingly are using free public Wi-Fi and poorly secured network access points to intercept and steal information. Even if you are at home and logging into to a wireless network, make sure you only join a properly secured password-protected network. For all my financial transactions I don't connect if the network is publicly available and recommend you consider similar precautions. Remember: using free public Wi-Fi makes it easy for cyber criminals to intercept and steal your information. Never prepare your tax return or conduct other online activities such as banking and shopping when connected to an unsecured wireless network.
If you believe you have been the victim of tax-refund fraud, contact the IRS. If you have been a victim of identity theft in general, report such incidents to the Federal Trade Commission at www.consumer.gov/idtheft, or to the FTC Identity Theft hotline at 1-877-438-4338.
Everyone must play their part in order to stay safe online during tax season and all year round. To learn more about how to protect your information during tax season, visit: www.irs.gov/Individuals/Identity-Protection.
For additional general cyber tips and resources, visit www.dhs.gov/stopthinkconnect.
April 15th rapidly is approaching. Best of luck as you safely and securely file your taxes this year!

Answers to common questions asked concerning Public Utilities, Water and Wastewater:
Why is my utility bill higher than normal?
If your utility bill is higher than usual, a number of reasons could be the cause. Have you used water for outdoor purposes, such as a pool fill or watering the lawn? Have you had company or increased the number of people living in the home? Perhaps there is a leak that is causing your water usage to increase. Please select the Billing Information Link for more details on utility charges and high bill investigation.
Why does sewer cost more than water?
The sewer rate is higher than the water rate because it is more costly to treat contaminated wastewater than to deliver clean water to residents. For more information on the City's utility rate structure, click here.
Who should I contact if I experience problems with my water?
Questions concerning your water can be directed to 513-867-5375 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. For emergencies after business hours, the Water Division may be reached at 513-858-7775.
Who do I call if I have a sewer backup?
Call 513-858-7760 between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. During regular business hours, your questions will be answered by a collection system employee. After 3:30 p.m., the plant operator will take your call and contact an employee immediately to respond. During heavy rain events, calls will be responded to in the order they are received.
My trash was not picked up, who should I call?
Rumpke provides the trash collection services for the residents of Fairfield. If your trash was not collected on the regularly scheduled pick-up day, please call Rumpke at (513)742-2900.
Who do I call about storm sewer or ground water problems?
The City's Public Works Department at 513-867-4200 maintains storm sewers. Storm sewers are identified as the large grates in streets and near curbs.
Who do I call about odor problems in my home?
You may contact the wastewater plant at 513-858-7760 to ask questions about odors. A collection system employee will answer your questions and, if needed, send a crew to your home. The employee will also be able to tell you if the collection system is cleaning lines in your area that may cause a temporary odor. Most odor problems are caused by a dry trap, adding water to all your traps usually eliminates the odor.
Is my home or property connected to the sanitary sewers?
To find out if a specific home or business is connected to the City of Fairfield's sewer system, please call 513-858-7760.
Why are chemicals added to our water?
The City adds chemicals to the water for many reasons: first to help soften the water, and secondly to provide a safe and helpful water. Some chemicals also help protect the pipes and mains. Lime and soda ash are added to help soften the water, chlorine is added for destruction of harmful bacteria in the water, and fluoride is required by the state to promote sound teeth with high resistance to decay. Fluoridation is only a supplement to the natural fluoride already found in the water. Phosphate is also added to help keep minerals in suspension, so they won't drop out and cause deposit on the mains and in your pipes at home.
Should I buy a home water softener?
The choice to buy a home softener is a personal choice. The water plant produces balanced water that is moderately hard. The water is balanced to promote neither depositing on the pipes, nor corrosiveness to piping. The benefit of a home softener is an appreciable savings in the consumption of soap and cleaning action. The disadvantage is is that zero water hardness is corrosive. The homeowner should monitor and blend the water to protect piping. The water plant neither promotes nor discourages the use of home water softeners.
Where can I report a leaking fire hydrant?
To report a leaking or otherwise defective fire hydrant, contact the City of Fairfield Public Utilities Water Division at 513-858-7775.
How do I dispose of tree limbs or brush?
The city offers a call-in brush pickup service. For larger limbs, please visit the Operation Dump Truck page for more information.
How do I dispose of my old large appliances (e.g. washer, dryer, refrigerator, stove, dishwasher)?
Visit the Appliance Disposal Page.
How can I safely dispose of hazardous materials?
The Fairfield Fire Department does not take any type of hazardous materials. Household hazardous waste must be disposed of according to state and federal laws and regulations. The Ohio EPA provides a "A Guide to Safe Management of Household Hazardous Waste" on its Web site. You may also contact the Butler County Solid Waste Management District at 513-887-3693 or visit butlercountyrecycles.org.
How can I safely dispose of unused medications or controlled substances?
Contact the Fairfield Police Department at 513-829-8201 to inquire about residential unused drug drop off days, or click on the following link for more information. Unused Drugs

Sunday Lexico-Neuroticism
The proper focus is upon the detention faced by the petitioner and whether the same is a due process violation, not whether petitioner is likely to succeed in his appeals. A contrary rule would punish the petitioner if he chooses to permissibly appeal the decisions made by the IJ or the BIA. This Hobbesian choice, whereby petitioner must "choose" to stay detained indefinitely if he wishes to appeal an erroneous decision or accede to the IJ's determination and depart his adopted home, violates due process guarantees. Singh v. Sepulveda, WL 2242215 (N.D. Cal. May 29, 2008).Unlike "concerted," this one is pretty glaring. Personally, it really grates on the ol' nerves; it's like last spring's "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" advertising -- after the first sighting, you begin to see its twisted little face everywhere. Which means that if this particular barbarism didn't get under your skin before this post, well, it probably does now.
If the answer hasn't been disclosed on Monday, I'll share it with you.
Massive exception: the foregoing is unlikely to apply to those of you who will willfully enter that 9th level of hell
I might have been tempted to blurt some inspiring remark, but frankly, the whole affair looks too damn awful. When the dust settles, as we Idaho Vandals are given to say, "Win or lose, there's always booze."

text: BBC's iPhone apps forced to be postponed Culture 30 March 10 by Katie Scott The BBC has been forced to postpone its plans to bring out free iPhone applications following on from complaints raised by newspaper industry. The development of the apps, which were believed would include a news app, iPlayer app and one connecting up to the Corporation's World Cup coverage, was announced in February. The earliest were mooted for arrival in April, with apps for Android phones and BlackBerrys also planned. Erik Huggers, BBC director of future media and technology, said at the time that the BBC audience "want to access the digital services that they have paid for at a time and place that suits them."But the move drew immediate criticism, which culminated in formal complaints to the BBC Trust, which has now ordered executives to postpone the plans. It said in a statement: "The Trust has today written to the BBC Executive to advise them that we will be carrying out an assessment of their plans to deliver content via dedicated smartphone applications. The Trust's decision follows representations from the industry."This assessment will consider whether or not the plans constitute a significant change to BBC services and will examine the plans in four areas: the extent to which the change is likely to affect users and others; the financial implications of the change; the extent to which the change would involve the BBC in a new area of untested activity; and how long the activity will last."Leading the naysayers is the Newspaper Publishers Association, which is arguing that free BBC apps could hit the take-up of the paid-for apps developed by newspaper publishers. "Not for the first time, the BBC is preparing to muscle into a nascent market and trample over the aspirations of commercial news providers," said David Newell, director of the NPA, in February.But who is going to lose out? It will, of course, be the public. The newspapers' argument is that the BBC is publicly funded, and therefore the apps have been paid for, essentially, by the licence fee. The Guardian charges £2.39 for its app, and is right to be worried that a free BBC app could eat into its profits from this. But there is already the BBCReader app, developed by third party Odina Software, which allows quick access to BBC News. The Telegraph and the Independent also offer free apps. The Trust will now be vigorously studying the BBC's online service licence. The ultimate question will be whether the apps are simply an extension of the Corporation's online remit -- and therefore tools they almost owe the license fee iPhone owner -- or whether the BBC's entry into this arena will be damaging to the media industry as a whole.Have your sayWe'll be watching the comments closely on this, so please do leave your thoughts below. Do you think this decision has been made for the right reasons? Are you angry at the newspaper industry? The comments are open. Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments no - this is getting crazy. the BBC delivering its content in this form delivers value to the license payer. the BBC is simply an excellent organisation and it is not alone in repurposing its content through apps without asking the user for payment. Distributing these apps also functions as a brand extension: which delivers value to the BBC.I am getting heartily sick of the newspaper industry, and murdoch's offspring in particular, bleating on about the BBC. Granted the Lonely planet thing was strange, but their argument, carried to its conclusion, is simply a mass wailing for the BBC to go away, because the BBC is large, well run and produces excellent content. They can't ask each other to go away, that would sound stupid, but, as the classified ads water drains out of the bath, they can all take turns wailing at the BBC. They remind me of the irish taxi drivers after deregulation, bemoaning the sudden harshness of their existence. tough. adapt or die. aindreas Mar 30th 2010 Adapt or die indeed. The newspapers are Dinosaurs and I wont be mourning them when they go extinct. They know that people can easily access the BBC, CNN, reuters etc for (relatively) unbiased news and go online for comment and opinion from the wealth of smaller publications (like wired.co.uk) and blogs available. The days of being told what to think by a small group of editors are numbered. Jimmy Bike Mar 30th 2010 I agree with aindreas. The BBC, for all its faults, stands head and shoulders above the majority of its critics and most especially the sewerpress rags and Murdoch's Empire of Mediocrity. Frankly I'd be happy to pay a bigger licence fee if it guaranteed the extinction of News International and its torrent of crap.The BBC's unique funding mechanism means it has so far resisted the race to the bottom which has accompanied media deregulation: that is an absolute good, and if the Beeb wants to try some iPhone apps, fine by me. Milton Mar 30th 2010 So is my ability to access BBC News using Safari damaging the newspaper's business? This is just a simple repackaging of content we can already get for free.It's like the newspapers are bitter for some reason, it's probably due to money somewhere down the line. I just can't seem to place my finger on it. ;) S Hogarth Mar 31st 2010 I wish the BBC would stop backing down. I don't agree with the cuts and I don't support the objections made regarding the use of new technology to present information and news.The IT teams at the BBC are a source of inspiration and innovation and I fear that the budget holdes are not aware of the vast pool of tallent they have let slip through their fingers. Also the BBC are responsible, in part for a new blooming of Internet innovation companies now growing in London, who in turn help with design and implementations of new ideas.We, the public are really lucky to have an institution that can still produce world leading products, radio, drama, films and shows.The criticism I do have is with the lack of impartiality of the news reporters and in many cases their gross ignorance (war reporters and senior correspondants excluded). Many times I am left speechless when they, during interviews they fail to aks pertinent follow up questions.

GALLERY> The Forza Motorsport 4 Experience
On one of the nights I was back in LA, I was lucky enough to attend the exclusive Forza Motorsport 4 launch event/E3 Expo afterparty at the LA Live Event Deck in Downtown Los Angeles. Since my time in LA was so brief and packed with errands, I unfortunately didn't even have time to go to the E3 show itself, even though I had passes at the ready.
Even though I didn't make it to E3, I didn't feel too bad, because the Forza Motorsport 4 event had it all - hot cars, hot girls, catered Korean BBQ tacos and sliders from the Kogi BBQ truck, an open bar, an appearance from The Stig from the world renown BBC show Top Gear (or at least, a person dressed in the Stig's racing suit), special exclusive performances by legendary drummer Travis Barker from Blink 182 and Mixmaster Mike from the Beastie Boys, and did I mention... an open bar?

VIDEO> Behind The Scenes with Barris Kustom
As the reach of our automotive website continues to expand, the MotorMavens Crew and I have been fortunate enough to attract tons of new and exciting opportunities – they seem to just fall into our laps! You can only imagine how shocked I was when I received an email from the good people at SPEED Channel, saying "we'd love to chat with you."
As the biggest cable network with automotive programming, SPEED is obviously huge – I've been watching various forms of racing on SPEED Channel for years. I had no idea that they were even aware of MotorMavens! I was definitely excited to speak to them on the phone.
Although SPEED Channel is headquartered in Charlotte NC, they are constantly filming shows in Southern California. During our phone call, I discovered that they were actually filming their newest TV program, Car Warriors, only 10 minutes away from where I live! They suggested that we come out and visit, so I invited our lovely Motormavenette Samantha Totem to come out and spend the day hanging out on set with me while they were filming – cool! When the cameras stopped rolling, the very first person we were introduced to was none other than George Barris.
Even if you're too young to recognize the name 'George Barris,' you've undoubtedly seen the cars he has created. As the automotive legend behind Barris Kustom Industries in North Hollywood, George Barris has created some of the most iconic cars in movie and television history – the original Batmobile from the Batman TV show with Adam West and Burt Ward; the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard; KITT from Knight Rider; the original A-Team van; the DeLorean time machine from Back To The Future; the Munsters hot rod; and many many more.
As we got ourselves acquainted in between filming, Mr Barris invited us to visit him at his shop, which is like a museum of famous movie cars, toys, and Hollywood memorabilia. How could we pass that up?! (more…)

For those who are very keen on self-healing and personal development the following suggestions will help you create an accessible, organized self-help resource (i.e. a DIY Therapy Kit) that is suited to your own needs and wants. Store all of the material mentioned below in a basket, box or case as this makes it easy to take with you when traveling, moving etc.
A/ DIY Therapy Notebook
Purchase a notebook to record the type of information listed below. Before you begin number the pages but leave the first one blank for the 'Table of Contents.' Then, categorize the information by the following headings/sub-headings:
1/ Favorite Stress Relieving Techniques
This can include your best relaxation methods, physical exercises, remedies, hobbies etc. You can create sub-headings for these techniques and products, such as, 'Meditations,' 'Natural Remedies' and so on. My various lists include the following: writing, walks in nature, reading inspirational material, taking the Rescue Remedy, meditations involving the ocean and repeating the mantra "This too shall pass."
2/ Preferred Therapists and Practitioners
Here you can include doctors and medical specialists as well as psychological therapists and alternative healers. My list is a mixed bag – medical doctor, kinesiologist, spiritual/energy healers and counselor, including all of their contact details. Over time you will add and subtract from this list as your therapeutic requirements change.
3/ Other Useful Self-help Resources
These resources include a range of things such as websites, self-help/support groups and organizations. They are useful if you want or need some other specific type of assistance (e.g. for an addiction, a medical condition or immediate (phone) counseling). These can be found in the phonebook but creating your own list makes them much easier to access when needed.
B/ Literature
If your most important self-help/New Age/Holistic/inspirational books and magazines do not fit in your Kit then find a place to keep them that is easy to access (e.g. in one section of your bookshelf or a corner of your desk). You may want to photocopy some pertinent pages and keep them in a folder in your Kit. My stack of publications includes aromatherapy books, a divinatory book and some Holistic magazines.
C/ DIY Divinatory Cards
Make your own cards using words or phrases that will help you decide what to do in a difficult situation. Buy a pack of visiting cards or cardboard pieces. You may use colored paper and writing material. Get creative and draw on the cards or use other decorations like glitter and stickers. Some of the words/phrases in my deck include – YES, NO, BEWARE, TRUST YOURSELF, WAIT and ADVANCE. Ask one of these questions as you shuffle the cards: "What do I need right now?" "Is this a good idea?" or "What should I do?" You may also create a deck of inspirational quotes created by yourself or others. Choose one when you are feeling down or to motivate you at the beginning of the day. Here are some examples of very empowering and thought provoking quotes:
"Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken." (Oscar Wilde)
"The Power is not in you – IT IS YOU" and "Love yourSelf by being yourSelf." (Helen Papadopoulos)
"You are the ones you have been waiting for." (Hopi Prophecy)
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
"Just trust yourself then you will know how to live." (Goethe)
(This is a modified excerpt from the book "DIY Therapy: Simple Self-help Skills".)
Happy Healing!

What an exciting year you have ahead of you. Take a moment to think about how you
would like to be remembered after the year is over. Start now working on doing your
JOB the best you can and you will quickly earn the RESPECT you deserve.
Leadership: The ability to establish a creative climate where people are self-motivated
toward the successful achievement of long term constructive goals.
The leadership of the team either makes or breaks your year. Listed below are some
helpful hints for captains:
• Be supportive of your coaches. They are in charge. Always show respect for them
so the team will follow in your steps.
• Be a shining role model. Follow the rules.
• Be positive.
• Be dedicated to your sport.
• Respect others and yourself.
• Be honest.
• Act as a liaison between coach and team.
• Treat everyone equally, regardless of ability. Be impartial.
• Be chemically free and support non-use.
• Be dependable and loyal.
• Be consistent.
• Be organized.
• Be trustworthy. Keep secrets secret!
• Be able to devote the necessary time to your sport.
• Take the initiative to help.
• Leave your personal problems out of practice. Your mood effects everyone.
• Be aware of the chain of command, facts, schedules and procedures at your school.
• Remember what it was like to be a "rookie."
• Work out problems with your coach or the other athletes when they arise.
• Remember that exceptions will come back to haunt you.
• If someone is causing problems, enlist their help. You'll be amazed at the difference
when they're on your side.
• Set the example. Motivate others through dedication and drive.
• Be thoughtful and considerate of other people's feelings.
• Allow people to make mistakes.
• Arrive to practice early and be committed to performing your best.
• Encourage others to do their best.
• Thinking of yourself and your friends when making decisions. (Act like a
politician...for all the people.)
• Treating individual team members, individually different.
• Wasting time or procrastinating.
• Gossiping.
• Taking the glory for someone else's work.
• Making your coach ask you to do things. They do enough already.
• Being POWER MAD. Lead, don't rule.
• Power struggles between tri or co-captains. United you stand, divided you fall.
* Captains need a clear description of where their job begins and ends. They need to
remember the coach is in charge. It is important for coaches and captains to talk and
plan often. Many teams arrange a "prep" half hour every week to do just that. Many
problems can be eliminated through proper communication.

Explore the Orient in London's Chinatown
Published: Tuesday 28th of September 2010
Holidaymakers heading to the capital do not often expect to find themselves in the midst of Asian culture but as one of the best loved of all London attractions, Chinatown is still a place any visitor to the city should explore.
On arriving at the west London precinct, tourists can expect to see an area far different from the busy cosmopolitan city they are in.
With delicate red Chinese lanterns swinging from buildings and the frantic hustle of Asian market holders, it would not be absurd for holidaymakers to think they had travelled a lot further afield than simply down the road from tourist hotspots Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus.
But this injection of the Orient is indeed in the capital and remains one of the top things to do in London for any tourist.
Nestled between London's West End, Covent Garden and Leicester Square, Chinatown could easily be missed off the to do list, overshadowed by its popular neighbours, but it would be a shame not to make a journey to this little corner of London - if only to taste some of the best Chinese cuisine in the capital.
There are 80 restaurants to choose from in the short parade and hidden under the majestic red arches that welcome visitors into the area are eateries that offer a variety of Asian foods including Cantonese, Szechwan, Malaysian and Mongolian.
Situated right next to the capital's theatre district, the restaurants are well-known for their fast service and set menus, where patrons can tuck away a five-course meal in under an hour and still make it to an early viewing.
However, those who want to enjoy a night in Chinatown for its own merits have the opportunity to enjoy a la carte menus where they can pick their favourite Asian dishes or experience authentic Chinese fast food diners, where they can grab noodles to go.
As well as a host of different eating establishments - which are difficult to choose between - tourists can step inside one of the many Chinese supermarkets on the strip.
Inside, they can soak in the strong aromas of oriental ingredients, see what goes into their favourite meals or even purchase a few products to use at home for their own culinary experience.
For an after-dinner snack, holidaymakers can treat themselves at one of the Chinese bakeries, which sell different delicacies including Marry Girl Cake, Jin Deui doughnuts and pineapple buns.
Having been a part of the capital since the 17th century, Chinatown is a well-established London attraction that people should make an effort to visit. As well as being an excellent area to taste traditional Chinese cooking, there are other activities that are likely to interest holidaymakers.
One of the most spectacular events that take place in Chinatown has to be the celebration of Chinese New Year.
Each January or February, thousands of people descend on the block to watch floats and people in costumes bring in the New Year in style.
The celebrations reach as far as Trafalgar Square, where last year there were displays of martial arts, Chinese dance, opera and acrobatics.
Performances from international artists also take place on a main stage in the heart of Chinatown, where attendees can see traditional lion dances and taste authentic fare from a variety of food stalls that are set up.
On Sunday February 21st 2011, visitors can join the thousands that are expected to take part in the unique event, with its popularity enticing more than 330,000 people to last year's celebrations.
Having survived some of London's greatest challenges since the Middle Ages including both World Wars, Chinatown became a truly established centre for the capital's Chinese community from the 1960s when it moved to its current location.
Now it is the home and workplace of thousands of people and with its introduction of pan-Asian cuisines, shops and cultures, it is expected to survive right into the 21st century, inviting people from all over the country to explore its lantern-lit streets and smell its sweet scent of sticky fried rice and crispy duck pancakes.

Internships at Walsh
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) 2012 survey, approximately 63 percent of college graduates who took part in paid internships received at least one job offer. In addition, in a survey from Marketplace and The Chronicle of Higher Education, employers said that internships are the most important thing they look for when evaluating a recent college graduate. In fact, internship experience ranks higher than where students went to college, their major or their grade point average.
Experiential learning has long been a valuable component of a Walsh education, but the University is taking it to the next level with increased emphasis on internships and practical experience across all majors. Numerous internships and other workforce preparedness opportunities are available through Walsh's Career Center located in the David Campus Center.
Examples of the hands-on work in which Walsh students are participating include:
All Education majors complete structured in-classroom training in the form of field and clinical experiences (student teaching) with our school district partners.
Museum Studies
In addition to the on-campus experience of curating shows at Walsh's Birk Center for the Arts, Museum Studies students take a two-semester sequence of supervised museum internships off-campus during their Junior year. Recent placement include the Canton Museum of Art, Massillon Museum, Professional Football Hall of Fame and the McKinley Museum and Library, just to name a few.
Through the newly redesigned Chemistry curriculum at Walsh, students explore post-graduation work opportunities through integrated lab experiences. The department has developed relationships with more than 70 regional companies to provide students internship and experiential learning opportunities.
Biology and Biochemisty
Walsh has a strong undergraduate research program for Biology and Biochemistry majors. Students have gained experience working with Walsh faculty to research everything from cancer to the effects of the hormone relaxin on coronary artery dysfunction. In addition, Walsh students have completed a variety of internships , including the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in the Center for Conservation and Biodiversity.
Clinical experience is a vital component of the Byers School of Nursing. Walsh students complete their clinical practice in a variety of hospitals and community-based healthcare facilities in the Canton-Akron area, and many of them find employment at the site of their clinical experience after graduation.
The DeVille School of Business offers students a variety of mentoring programs, including one program that pairs students with business professionals who provide guidance and support. Many times these relationships lead to business internships and potential jobs post-graduation.
Government and Foreign Affairs
Government and Foreign Affairs students are encouraged to apply for internships within a department of local, state or national government. In addition, there are opportunities to work and learn in Washington, D.C., through the Washington Center. Most recently, the department has launched the James B. Renacci Government Scholars Program. Through scholarships and internships, the program provides students greater access to learn how the U.S. government operates.
International Relations
In addition to requiring students to participate in a global learning experience, the International Relations major also includes an internship in Washington, D.C. at a government agency or an internship with an international organization or embassy.
Psychology internships are arranged on an individual basis by an internship advisor. Psychology majors often intern in group homes, domestic violence shelters, drug and rehabilitation centers, schools, child and adolescent service agencies and other types of intervention centers.
Sociology majors gain hands-on experience during their senior year through either an internship or original research project.
Counseling and Human Development
In addition to seeing community clients at Walsh's on-site counseling center, students in the Master of Arts in Counseling and Human Development program also have the opportunity to gain international experience in Uganda or to intern in different areas such as community service/mental health agencies, school-based intervention and treatment settings, crisis intervention centers, and more.

Your blending is to DIE for. It is so fantastic!!!
Do you know if you buy MUD products anywhere else besides their website?
I LOVE this look! In a certain light, the eyeshadow gives off the appearance of a muted rainbow. :) Thanks, Leesha!
You are sooooooo sexy!
Reminds me of a sunset, lovely!
Love the look!! I have similar kind of hair to yours. Its really thick, quite coarse and very curly. I've used quite a lot of different products but the ones that have worked best so far are John Frieda Frizz-ease, Tresemme, and VO5. Another thing is not to touch it too much, you want to scruch it while damp and then preferably leave it to dry naturally and of you need to blow dry it use a diffuser but only dry it until most (not all) of the moisture is gone. Hope that helps!
I'm really loving these colourful looks that definitely aren't too much :]
I love this. :)
Yay for using my two favorite colors together-green & purple. Love, love, love this look! I've been debating on whether to purchase MUD products-do you recommend them at all?
I have thick, curly hair and found that Back To Basics Coconut Mango conditioner is the best in terms of conditioning and controlling the curls. An anti-frizz, like Farouk Bio-Silk, helps with frizziness. Maybe if you let your hair grow longer, if will help pull the curl down?
At any rate, I love your look, hair included.
A friend of mine uses the typical rave gel and dilutes it as she goes down to her hair. So put alot in the roots and then dilute it with water as you scrunch down. I haven't tried it yet, but her hair looks gorgeous and its always curly.
regarding your hair, would you consider some kind of curl reformation? like using rollers? put rollers in damp hair after applying an antifrizz or similar curl product, but make sure said product is made to create soft curls, not crunchy curls. when hair is COMPLETELY DRY then take out the rollers and style with fingers, and then maybe use like a light setting spray product. see how that works for you. when you get the hang of it, putting the rollers in shouldnt take a long time at all and with practice youll be able to do it really quick. experiment with different size rollers too; the smaller the roller the tighter the curl; the bigger the roller the looser the curl. hope that helps you!!
also, if you are going to use a diffuser, make sure you are doing it correctly! there is a technique to it and most people get it wrong! when using a diffuser, try to actually touch the hair as little as possible if at all. just let it almost sit on the diffuser so there is minimal movement. the point is to dry it, control frizz, and minimize the disruption of your natural curl. play around, practice, experiment! the next time you go to your stylist ask for her advice too regarding what you can do at home as far as styling, and be VERY specific about what you want and what your goals are for your hair. good luck and hope that helps!
this was my favorite vid dat u hav eva done!!! =] i really liked it but i was wonderin if u new any dupes 4 brushes?!?!?!?
Lovee this look soo much:) you schould do colors like this more often! :)
Try curl rocks by catwalk tigi or something like that i love it. it's the only thing that seems to work for my curly hair…You can get it at target, walmart(maybe). PLaces like that. not expensive to it is worth a try
I have super curly hair, not too thick, but really tight, corkscrew curls.
I shower in the morning (because brushing curly hair dry is a bad idea) and brush through my hair once in the shower while the conditioner is still in.
Then, I towel dry it and while it's still damp I put in L'Oreal's Studio Curl Power curl cream. Once my hair is less wet, I also put in a gel. I found that gels that are supposedly made for curly hair don't work well for me, so I've been using L'Oreal's StudioLine Mineral fX Control Cream (I'm not sure if that's the name in English, I live in Europe). It's number 2 in strength and it works really well.
I've gone through almost every single curly hair product that I can find, and so far, this is the one that I've had the most luck with and have been using for the longest time. I wear my hair down every day, so I'm especially picky about how my curls look :P
Good luck!
I freakin' adore this look! :D
I have the absolutely beastly firzzly curly hair too (and I do mean beastly, nothing at all pretty about my hair! lololol) . I usually use a light hairspray while my hair is still wet. Instead of scrunching my hair, I'll grab a handful and gently kind of wind my fingers through and hold until it feels like the spray should be dry. (kind of like I'm using my fingers and curlers) This works fairly decent for my hair, but it's still pretty random, mostly due to my current cut, which is definitely better suited to straight hair. Anyway, I just tried a sample of Aveda's Smooth Infusion shampoo, conditioner, and Glossing straightener, and I was pretty impressed. My mom also combines the straightener with their Confixor, and she swears by it! (But her hair is NOTHING near the curly mess mine is!)
Hey, Leesha! Thank you so much for your wearable wednesdays (ww)!!
I'm a "conservative one" and your ww videos are an inspiration to run away from routine… Well, I must confess sometimes I feel I could be more "fierce" on my morning look… let's see how it goes! :-D
Just found your site today. Lovin these videos! Have naturally curly hair and am a "retired" cosmetologist who specialized in curly hair. Every head of curls is different! Here are some tips that worked for most heads of curl. Don't condition the days you style curly. It causes more frizz. Product is your best friend. Use a smoothing product 1st my fav is Ringlet by Redken. 2nd a good gel that doesn't flake because you need a lot! I like PM's Super Sculpt. Use enough to coat all your hair! 3rd is a small squirt (nickel size) of Tigi's Curls Rock Amplifier. Scrunch into curls. The next key is drying. Mine works best to air dry for about 20 min. Then blow dry (no diffuser). Some hair works better to dry a little then air dry. I like Tigi's Hard Head hairspray right after. Then I can scrunch(if it's too crunchy) and mess with it all I want and the curl will stay. Good Luck!
Hey! About your curl :)
I just started using Ouidad, i saw the infomercial like a million times and thought i would try it. The thing I like most out of the sample pack that I got is the Tress Effects gel. It keeps the frizz down, isnt all crunchy like normal gel, and it doesnt smell bad (that is if you dont mind the smell of cloves). I think they sell it at Saphora now.
Yay! Have fun lol.
i think you're hair looks cute!!!
L-O-V-E hehe i love it <3 :D
Hi ya,
Just want to tell you I'm really enjoying Wearable Wednesday. Also I totally understand about the curly hair thing. I have really thick curly red hair myself and don't want to have to straighten it. So with that said i use 10 as a leave in product. After washing and conditioning my hair then i style with catwalk curls rock and kendra style gel 17. They work really fantastic for me. Also i add just a touch of r&b because it smells so so good at the back of my hair. You just need a touch and your hair smells so good all day!! :)
hey…I really like your work and I would like you to do a tutorial of some light blue and black for blue eyes…..because everyone keeps telling me I have beautiful eyes,but I don't know how to express them….so please =)

Jake Ellenberger gives a surprisingly realistic breakdown of Vitor Belfort vs. Luke Rockhold
The last time we talked about Jake Ellenberger on MiddleEasy, it was in regards to his ridiculously stupendous knockout over Nate Marquardt at UFC 158. The article isn't that long because Nick Diaz vs. GSP was literally about to start just after we located the .gif of the KO. Maybe Ellenberger should be more considerate of our fight-night writing and wait until the third round to knock someone's consciousnesses out of their nose. We need time to write, Ellenberger. That's pretty damn rude of you making us slap our fingers on our keyboard at an elevated pace
We're just two days away from UFC on FX: Belfort vs. Rockhold, an event that will determine whether a Strikeforce champion has what it takes to defeat a former UFC champion. Vitor Belfort would call the bout 'lion vs. lion,' and then systematically breakdown the science and inner-operations of the animal kingdom. Zoology lessons, kids need that stuff. Vitor should be sponsored by National Geographic.
You've probably come to your own conclusion regarding Vitor Belfort vs. Luke Rockhold, don't worry you're not the only one. There's a strong possibility that Jake Ellenberger's breakdown actually mirrors your opinion on the fight. Have a look at this brief Rick Lee interview.

Athens, Greece
- WMF Program:2012 Watch
Established in the 1830s, shortly after the founding of the modern Greek state, the First Cemetery of Athens is the final resting place for many prominent figures in Greek public life, including statesmen, artists, writers, and philanthropists. In addition to serving the Greek Orthodox population of Athens, Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish burials also took place in the First Cemetery. Its collection of nineteenth- and twentieth-century funerary monuments contains excellent examples of Neoclassical sculpture, from tombstones and stelae to statues and mausoleums. Many were inspired by monuments found in the city's ancient burial ground, which was also discovered in the nineteenth century.
Many of the marble monuments now face structural problems and are in need of careful study, documentation, and conservation. The long-term stewardship of the First Cemetery of Athens echoes challenges faced by historic urban cemeteries around the world, and presents new opportunities for reintegrating these places of burial within the city context, as both vital open space and dynamic cultural resources. The municipality of Athens recognizes the value of this historic cemetery as a modern cultural heritage site, but even with this vision, regular maintenance and conservation are necessary tools to realize this goal.

SAN DIEGO, CA Researchers from Boston University's Slone Epidemiology Center and UC San Diego, in collaboration with the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI), have found 'reassuring' evidence of the H1N1 influenza vaccine's safety during pregnancy. The national study, which was launched shortly after the pandemic H1N1 influenza outbreak of 2009 and funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), will be summarized in two companion papers published online this month in the journal, Vaccine.
Despite federal health authorities' recommendations that all pregnant women be vaccinated for influenza in order to avoid serious complications of flu infection, it is estimated that fewer than 50 percent of women follow this advice, largely because they were concerned about the effects flu vaccines might have on the developing baby. Since it was anticipated that the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza outbreak could be particularly severe, it was important to gather data on the safety of this vaccine in pregnancy. Therefore, a national study was launched by the Vaccines and Medications in Pregnancy Surveillance System (VAMPSS), a collaboration between investigative teams at Boston University and UC San Diego, and coordinated by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
One investigative team, from Boston University, interviewed 4,191 mothers from four regional centers in the U.S. who had either delivered a baby with one of 41 specific birth defects or delivered an infant without defects. They compared the use of influenza vaccine in the two groups during the 2009 - 2011 seasons. In their analysis of birth defects, Dr. Carol Louik, ScD, lead investigator of the BU team, stated "We found no evidence of an increase in risk for the most commonly-occurring specific major birth defects, which were the focus of the study, if a woman received the flu

May 12, 2013 matthaiduk Road, Team Bicycle Heaven Comments Off
One year ago, Ashley Korol showed up at Monsters of the Midway and did this crazy thing- she won for the first time. It was awesome. She and Mara both went on to have fantastic years, and they're both now fighting the good fight in Cat 3( EDIT: Ashley just got upgraded!). If you haven't seen Ashley race, she's a pretty good sprinter. As in "pretty good" at beating a lot of the guys on our team. With Monsters being the ultimate sprinter's race, we had hopes for another good finish this year. Then Ashley did another crazy thing- she upgraded to a new Cannondale CAAD 10 Force (with a Peter Sagan paint scheme, even).
Would Ashley's new bike carry her to her first win as a Cat 3 in the same place she picked up her first Cat 4 win?
The answer to that is clearly, "No" as she already won as a Cat 3 at Cobb Park!
But it would carry her to her second… and third!
That's right. Ashley and her new bike (which is begging to be nicknamed) won the Women's Open by half a bike length for her second win of the year! Not to leave anything on the table, Ashley later took to the Women's 3/4 and won by a convincing margin for her third win in her last four starts (the other resulted in a second place, by the way).
In a very cool move by race organizers, the University of Chicago Velo Club, Ashley was asked to step up the microphone and get interviewed. Always classy, Ashley didn't even thank her new bike, [who's nickname would be inserted here if we had one], but instead mentioned her teammate who wasn't even racing, and also the help provided to her by Rob Kelley.
And, in case you haven't been following along, this is another one of those races where our sponsors (this time it's the Bicycle Heaven Shop) put up money for race reimbursements on podium finishes. So, if you're scoring at home, Ashley won cash from each of her race winnings. She'll also be getting a reimbursement check for her entry in both races. For the second race in a row, she's essentially raced for free, and walked away with a bunch of the organizer's money. Not bad for a weekend hobby!
The Cat 3 team has been inching closer to a decent result all year. Matt lined it up nice but failed to close it at Lincoln Park. Bryan put himself in great position but un-clipped in the last corner at Cobb Park. For Monsters we had a strong, capable 5-man team looking to hit the top 3 and win some of their entry money back.
Everybody on the team raced great, and the guys topped their previous season's best with a fine 4th place. Eric nailed the leadout… unfortunately our sprinter failed to follow or it may have been better. See the entire race from Gary's point of view here:
Nearly all of the guys who'd raced the 3's joined the fast guys in a large P/1/2/3 field. Not intent to sit in, everybody took turns doing work and Nick even managed to take a bit of a flyer at one point.
Like nearly every other race, though, this one came down to a field sprint. As the pack thundered for home, Rob found himself racing up the pot-holed filled right side of the roadway. Pulling off one of the more fantastic full-speed bunnyhops seen this side of the X-Games Bicycle Freestyle competition, Rob leaped into 6th followed closely by Ara at 7th.
Next week will see most of the team tackle the Saturday race at Elgin, and Sunday at Fox River Grove.
