Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) General Information
View by Topic:
All textual references are to the UCR Handbook (pdf) (2004) unless otherwise noted.
What is the UCR Program?
The UCR Program is a voluntary city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement program that provides a nationwide view of crime based on the submission of statistics by law enforcement agencies throughout the country.
When and how was the Program implemented?
In the 1920s, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) recognized the potential value in tracking national crime statistics. The Committee on Uniform Crime Records of the IACP developed and initiated this voluntary national data collection effort in 1930. (The IACP continues to advise the FBI on the UCR Program's policies.) Also in 1930, the IACP was instrumental in gaining congressional approval which authorized the FBI to serve as the national clearinghouse for statistical information on crime. In June 1966, the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) established a Committee on Uniform Crime Reporting to serve in an advisory capacity and to encourage sheriffs throughout the country to fully participate in the Program. Since 1930, through the UCR Program, the FBI has collected and compiled data to use in law enforcement administration, operation, and management, and to indicate fluctuations in the level of crime in America.
For which categories (e.g., penal, prosecution, arrest, conviction) are statistics collected through the UCR Program?
To best depict total crime and to provide the most meaningful data to police administrators, the UCR Program collects data on known offenses and persons arrested by law enforcement agencies. The UCR Program does not record or collect statistics on the findings of a court, coroner, jury, or the decision of a prosecutor.
Which specific crimes are reported to the UCR Program, and why were these crimes identified for reporting?
The UCR Program collects offense information for murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. These are Part I offenses and are serious crimes by nature and/or volume. Not all crimes, such as embezzlement, are readily brought to the attention of the police. Also, some serious crimes, such as kidnapping, occur infrequently. Therefore, the UCR Program limits the reporting of offenses known to the eight selected crime classifications because they are the crimes most likely to be reported and most likely to occur with sufficient frequency to provide an adequate basis for comparison.
Arson was not originally part of the crime reporting process. Arson became the eighth Part I crime as the result of a limited congressional mandate in October 1978. With the passage of the Anti-Arson Act of 1982, Congress permanently designated arson as a reportable offense.
As for arrest information, the UCR Program collects arrest data on Part I offenses and 21 other crimes, such as driving under the influence, that are Part II offenses. Simple assault is a Part II offense but is collected under 4e (Other Assaults–Simple, Not Aggravated) as a quality control matter and for the purpose of looking at total assault violence.
I was looking in a table in Crime in the United States and did not see a column to list my city's Crime Index. Why?
In June 2004, the CJIS Advisory Policy Board (APB) approved discontinuing the use of the Crime Index in the UCR Program and its publications and directed the FBI publish a violent crime total and a property crime total. The Crime Index, first published in Crime in the United States in 1960, was the title used for a simple aggregation of the seven main offense classifications (Part I offenses) in the Summary reporting system. The Modified Crime Index was the number of Crime Index offenses plus arson.
For several years, the CJIS Division studied the appropriateness and usefulness of these indices and brought the matter before many advisory groups including the UCR Subcommittee of the CJIS APB, the Association of State UCR Programs, and a meeting of leading criminologists and sociologists hosted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. In short, the Crime Index and the Modified Crime Index were not true indicators of the degrees of criminality because they were always driven upward by the offense with the highest number, typically larceny-theft. The sheer volume of those offenses overshadowed more serious but less frequently committed offenses, creating a bias against a jurisdiction with a high number of larceny-thefts but a low number of other serious crimes such as murder and forcible rape.
Is UCR participation mandatory?
No. Participation is voluntary.
To what extent are crime statistics reported to the UCR Program?
In 2007, law enforcement agencies active in the UCR Program represented more than 285 million United States inhabitants—94.6 percent of the total population.
How can I find out how my city compares to other cities?
Each year when Crime in the United States is published, some entities use reported figures to compile rankings of cities and counties. These rough rankings provide no insight into the numerous variables that mold crime in a particular town, city, county, state, or region. Consequently, they lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents. Valid assessments are possible only with careful study and analysis of the range of unique conditions affecting each local law enforcement jurisdiction. The data user is, therefore, cautioned against comparing statistical data of individual reporting units from cities, metropolitan areas, states, or colleges or universities solely on the basis of their population coverage or student enrollment. "Variables Affecting Crime" in Crime in the United States has more information on this topic.
How can I find out what statistics and publications the UCR Program has available for public use?
Several UCR Program publications, such as Crime in the United States, Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, and Hate Crime Statistics are available on the UCR Program's pages of the FBI Internet site at www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm. Data are also available by contacting the Multimedia Productions Group, Criminal Justice Information Services Division, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Module D3, 1000 Custer Hollow Road, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26306-0157; telephone (304) 625-4995; facsimile (304) 625-5394; e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. (E-mail requests must include the requester's contact information, such as name, address, and telephone number.)
Why and how are offenses estimated for publication in Crime in the United States?
Tables 1 through 5 and Table 7 of Crime in the United States contain statistics for the entire United States. Because not all law enforcement agencies provide data for complete reporting periods, the FBI includes estimated crime numbers in these presentations. The FBI estimates data for three areas: Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), cities outside MSAs, and nonmetropolitan counties. The FBI computes estimates for participating agencies not providing 12 months of complete data. For agencies supplying three to 11 months of data, the national UCR Program estimates for the missing data by following a standard estimation procedure using the data provided by the agency. If an agency has supplied less than three months of data, the FBI computes estimates by using the known crime figures of similar areas within a state and assigning the same proportion of crime volumes to nonreporting agencies. The estimation process considers the following: population size covered by the agency; type of jurisdiction, e.g., police department versus sheriff's office; and geographic location.
How does the UCR Program compute agency populations?
To more accurately reflect an agency's population, the national UCR Program has changed the methodology for estimating populations. In the past, the FBI calculated state growth rates using revised state/national population estimates from the previous year and provisional state/national population estimates provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. The FBI then estimated population figures for city and county jurisdictions by applying the state growth rate for the current year to the updated U.S. Census Bureau data.
However, beginning with the 2007 edition of Crime in the United States, the FBI computed individual rates of growth from one year to the next for every city/town and county using 2000 decennial population counts and 2001 through 2006 population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. Each agency's rates of growth were averaged; that average was then applied and added to its 2006 Census population estimate to derive the agency's 2007 population estimate.
More information on how the national UCR Program determines population is available in the "Methodology" of Crime in the United States, 2007.
The UCR Program details reported crime. Is there any program in operation which attempts to address unreported crime?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) estimates the number of unreported serious crimes nationwide. The Internet address for the Bureau of Justice Statistics, which conducts the NCVS, is www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs.
How do UCR and NCVS differ?
The UCR Program and the NCVS were designed to complement each other. The UCR Program provides a reliable set of criminal justice statistics for law enforcement administration, operation, and management, as well as to indicate fluctuations in the level of crime in America. The NCVS provides previously unavailable information about victims, offenders, and crime (including crime not reported to the police). The two programs employ different methodologies, but they measure a similar subset of serious crimes. Both programs cover forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft, and motor vehicle theft. Both the UCR and the NCVS have similar definitions of forcible rape, robbery, and theft.
How can I compare the UCR Program's findings with that of the NCVS?
Users should not compare crime trends in the UCR Program and the NCVS because of methodology and crime coverage differences. The programs examine the nation's crime problem from different perspectives, and their results are not strictly comparable. Definitional and procedural differences can account for many apparent discrepancies in results from the national Program. For example, the NCVS includes crimes reported and not reported to law enforcement; the UCR Program includes only those crimes reported to police. The NCVS rates property crimes per 1,000 households, and the UCR Program rates these crimes per 100,000 inhabitants. Also, the BJS derives NCVS estimates from interviewing a sample and are, therefore, subject to a margin of error. The UCR Program bases its data on the actual counts of offenses reported by law enforcement agencies. Additional information about the differences between the two programs is in "The Nation's Two Crime Measures" in Crime in the United States.
What are classifying and scoring?
Classifying is determining the proper crime category in which to report an offense to the UCR Program. Scoring is counting the number of offenses after they have been classified and entering the total count on the appropriate reporting form.
Classifying and scoring offenses are the two most important functions that a participant in the UCR Program performs. The data that contributing agencies provide are based on these two functions, so scrupulous attention to the Program's guidelines helps to ensure accurate and reliable data (p. 7).
What is the Hierarchy Rule?
The Hierarchy Rule: "...when more than one Part I offense is classified, the law enforcement agency must locate the offense that is highest on the hierarchy list and score that offense involved and not the other offense(s) in the multiple-offense situation" (p. 10).
The Hierarchy Rule, which requires counting only the highest offense and ignoring all others, applies only to the crime reporting process and does not affect the number of charges for which the defendant may be prosecuted in the courts.
Are there exceptions to the Hierarchy Rule?
Yes. "The offenses of justifiable homicide, motor vehicle theft, and arson are exceptions to the Hierarchy Rule" (p. 10).
What is an exceptional clearance?
In certain situations, law enforcement is not able to clear an offense known to them by making an arrest (see Cleared by Exceptional Means, p. 80). Often they have exhausted all leads and have done everything possible in order to clear a case. If agencies can answer all of the following questions in the affirmative, they can clear the offense exceptionally for the purpose of reporting to UCR.
For UCR reporting purposes, can a male be raped?
No. The UCR Program defines forcible rape as "The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will" (p. 19). In addition, "By definition, sexual attacks on males are excluded from the rape category and must be classified as assaults or other sex offenses depending on the nature of the crime and the extent of injury" (p. 20). An aggravated assault is a Part I offense and would be reported on the Return A form. (A simple assault is a Part II offense but also would be reported on the Return A form.) Sex offenses qualify as Part II offenses and would be reported on the appropriate Age, Sex, and Race of Persons Arrested form (pp. 96 and 142).
However, in the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), a sexual assault on a male by a female could be classified as a forcible rape, depending on the nature of the attack and the extent of the injury. For NIBRS reporting purposes, forcible rape is defined as "The carnal knowledge of a person, forcibly and/or against that person's will; or not forcibly or against the person's will where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of his/her temporary or permanent mental or physical incapacity (or because of his/her youth)" (UCR Handbook, NIBRS edition, 1992, p. 21). In the NIBRS, at least one offender must be of a different sex than the victim for the event to be classified as a forcible rape. For example, a female can rape a male, or in the case of multiple offenders, a female and male can rape a male. However, a male cannot rape another male, or in the case of multiple offenders, two males cannot rape a male.
The NIBRS provides greater specificity in crime reporting. The UCR Summary reporting system collects most of its crime data in the form of categories. The NIBRS has a greater ability to capture and breakdown data into specific subcategories through the use of revised and new offense definitions.

Javier Bardem's new doc inspires at TIFF
Javier Bardem during the Red Carpet for movie Sons of the Clouds at Ryerson Theatre in Toronto September 13, 2012. (Dave Abel/QMI Agency)
Javier Bardem says, "You cannot change the world," but he and filmmaker Alvaro Longoria might do just that with a new documentary.
Sons of the Clouds: The Last Colony is a film narrated and produced by Bardem and directed by Longoria, and it brought them to TIFF yesterday.
The doc concerns the Western Sahara crisis and the political and social issues facing the Sarhawi people. Hundreds of thousands of Sarhawi live in tents in the desert; the Western Sahara was formerly a Spanish colony, but the area was grabbed by Morocco and is currently run like a police state. Morocco has actually built a wall across the desert, isolating the people and ignoring demands for an independence referendum.
Bardem, 43, got closer to the issue when he was invited to the FiSahara film festival in 2008. It's held in Dakhia, a refugee camp where the actor encountered Sahrawis and spoke to them about their plight.
Everyone in Spain is aware of the situation in the Western Sahara, says Bardem, "Because we've lived with it almost since the day I was born. But that film festival was my first personal encounter, and it was an amazing experience.You see these people being so generous and so aware of their situation, but with an amazing spirit of trust in a good destiny and fate, and when you see that, you need to do something. You need to help them make it go that way. They are one of a kind."
He pauses, then asks, "They are one of a kind -- you can say that? The plural can also be a one?" He laughs at his own struggles with English.
The actor recently described as the next "classic Bond villain" by director Sam Mendes has been on a roll since the Coen Brothers cast him as a villain in No Country For Old Men five years ago.
Bardem is acting royalty in his native Spain, youngest in a family that has been famous for generations, and he began to replicate that level of celebrity in North America with a role in Before Night Falls in 2000.
He built his reputation here with starring roles in The Dancer Upstairs, Collateral, The Sea Inside and Vicky Cristina Barcelona, among other films; Bardem will star in Terrence Malick's new movie, To The Wonder, and is super-villain Raoul Silva in the upcoming Bond film Skyfall. "As a kid, I saw many James Bond movies, so it's exciting to be part one of them."
Bardem and his wife, Penelope Cruz -- who is also in town to promote the film Twice Born -- are the parents of one son, Leo.

Bowl crisis system
VIRGINIA TECH'S THROTTLING of Miami on Nov. 1 ensured another controversial year for the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), college football's method of picking a national champion. The Hurricanes' loss left Oklahoma and TCU as the only undefeated teams in major college football and pulled all top one-loss teams back into the national title hunt.
That means new life for USC, Florida State, and Virginia Tech, which desperately needed either Oklahoma or Miami to slip up. Such is the BCS, which combines quirky computer polls with standard polls, schedule strength, and the ever-murky "quality win" category to determine the participants in the four BCS bowls, including the national championship game. After week 11 of the college football season, Oklahoma sat atop the BCS standings after taking apart rival Oklahoma State. The Cowboys have been Oklahoma's stumbling block to the national championship game lately. With that win in the book, the Sooners face little resistance until a possible Big 12 Championship game.
Most analysts agree that TCU, which plays in the non-BCS Conference USA, will be a long shot for the Sugar Bowl, even with an unblemished record. Expect Horned Frog fans to be hopping mad if TCU remains undefeated and still can't break into the very top of the poll.

PHOENIX, Arizona, July 10. WHAT do one of the youngest Team USA Olympic male swimmers and the first female Olympic athlete to win six medals in one Olympic Games have in common? A number of things, actually.
Both will be competing on the 4×100 freestyle relay in London. Both have the relay as their only Olympic event in London. Both set National High School Records in two individual events. Oh, and both just happened to have won Swimming World Magazine's High School athletes of the year.
Although I should mention that honor was bestowed a decade apart:
Left: Natalie Coughlin, 1998 Female HS Swimmer of the Year
Right: Jimmy Feigen, 2008 Male HS Swimmer of the Year
Jimmy Feigen:
22-year-old Jimmy Feigen, born September 26, 1989, in Hilo, Hawaii is set to represent Team USA at the London Olympics.
Feigen was a 2008 graduate from Winston Churchill High School in San Antonio, Texas. As a member of the Churchill Chargers, under coach Al Marks, Feigen set High School National records in the 100 (43. 05) and 50 free (19.49).
These accomplishments earned him Swimming World Magazine's 2008 High School Male Swimmer of the Year.
"As far as scholastic sprinting goes, the argument might start and stop with one name: Jimmy Feigen," article writer John Lohn comments.
Coming from a stellar High School career, Feigen went on to attend the University of Texas at Austin under coach Eddie Reese from 2008 to 2012.
In his collegiate career, Feigen was a 24 time All-American and three-time 2012 NCAA Champion in the 50, 100 and 4×100 freestyle relay. At the 2011 World University Games, he won two gold medals in 100 freestyle and 4×100 freestyle relay.
In Omaha, Feigen placed fifth at trials in the 100 freestyle (48.84), seven-tenths behind Nathan Adrian's winning time of 48.10. This place earned him a ticket to London on the men's 400 freestyle relay, marking Feigen's first Olympic appearance.
This is no small feat, considering six of the eight swimmers in the final heat of the 100 were already Olympic gold medalists. Going in to the finals, Feigen was ceded second behind Nathan Adrian.
"That's my best, I can't complain. It went exactly as I thought it was going to go… extremely painful from the get-go," Feigen told Swimming World. "Let's see if I can hold that spot going into tomorrow night, or move up one.
Even though Feigen didn't snag an Olympic Trials victory, he did make the team.
When asked to express his emotions about heading to London, a jubilant, but apparently exhausted Feigen told Swimming World:
"Elation. I can't even fathom it right now, all I can feel is the pain in my legs." Then, switching into technical mode, added, "I probably should have taken a couple more breaths, but we have London to fix that."
Due to NBC rights holder restrictions, the following video interview is only viewable until 7/27/2012:
Thanks to Social media, we have word that Feigen will be rooming with Ricky Berens in Knoxville for Team USA's training camp.
This information comes from Ricky Berens (@RickyBerens) Tweeting "Got to Knoxville safe and sound. Looks like my roommate for the next couple of weeks is going to be my Texas teammate @JimmyFeigen"
Natalie Coughlin:
29-year-old Natalie Coughlin, born August 23, 1982, in Vallejo, California is a seasoned Olympic veteran. However, going into her third Olympics, Coughlin's Olympic role has changed. The most shocking change is that she won't be representing Team USA in any individual events.
"I have just a relay on the first day, and then I'm done and there to support my teammates," Coughlin told reporters after a disappointing trials run in Omaha.
Coughlin opted to add the 100 butterfly to her trials schedule for the first time, after a change in the normal trials events order placed the butterfly before the 100 backstroke. Whether or not this choice affected Coughlin's trials outcome is up for speculation.
After failing to qualify for the Olympics in either the 100 butterfly or the 100 backstroke, Coughlin told reporters:
"I'm not as disappointed as everyone expects me to be. You can't cry over what you can't control."
Due to NBC rights holder restrictions, the following video interview is only viewable until 7/27/2012:
In 1998, at age 15, Coughlin became the first swimmer to qualify for Summer Nationals in all 14 events.
She followed this with an incredible high school career, in which she broke national high school records in the 200 IM (1:58.45) and 100 backstroke (52.86).
Coughlin graduated from UC Berkeley in 2005, after competing in the 2004 Athens Olympics. She is an 11-time Olympic medalist, so far earning three Gold, four silver, and four bronze.
In Beijing 2008, she became the first modern female Olympic athlete to win six medals in one Olympics. Adding to this accomplishment, she was the first woman to win the 100 backstroke in two consecutive Olympics. Not to mentions she was the first woman to swim the 100 meter backstroke in under a minute.
After the 100 butterfly, her first race at trials in Omaha, Coughlin backed up her decision to swim the race by saying, "It's just good to have the opportunity to place yourself on the team in as many events as possible. My goal is to earn my ticket to London this week."
As the week continued on, Coughlin eventually managed to earn her ticket, by placing sixth in the 100 freestyle finals. This placing puts her as a relay alternate in the women's 4×100 freestyle relay.
"First or sixth, it doesn't really matter, I'm really just excited to earn my ticket to London," said Coughlin.
Written and posted by Shoshanna Rutemiller, a former collegiate swimmer who quickly learned she is better at writing about swimming than racing it.

We are the first to agree that, when it comes to carpet cleaning, we don't really think about it that much. Realistically, it's not uncommon for carpets to go uncleaned until such time as we are expecting company to visit for a big party or during the holidays. You probably think that only a guy, living alone, would be guilty of such neglect of his carpets. Be that as it may, everyone needs to give their carpets some attention from time to time throughout the year. While you need to get into the habit of vacuuming your carpets every week, it isn't required to shampoo even as often as once monthly. Weekly vacuuming of your carpets should be a regular part of your cleaning and, if it's not, you should start making it a habit.
The very first habit you need to develop is to vacuum your carpets every week. However, that's the very minimum requirement. Other procedures will depend on your particular circumstances. There's dirt and dust that gets into your carpeting daily and, by vacuuming frequently, you will keep this picked up – even when it isn't visible. The more time you delay between the times you vacuum, the more chance there is for dirt to be ground into the fibers of your carpets. The more ground up dirt that gets into your carpet's fibers, the more difficulty there is to remove it. So, it's up to you to keep this from happening. The high traffic areas of your carpet will benefit by a spot vacuuming each day. A lot of people take the matter into their own hands, and shampoo the carpets in their home or apartment themselves. You can do the same thing. In the first place, it will be cheaper over time because someone else won't have to be paid to shampoo your carpets. In any event, it's always a good practice to shampoo your carpets frequently through the year. As you can see, you would be better off if you simply purchased a high quality shampooer for your carpets at the start. Undoubtedly, a good quality rug shampooer will cost more money; however, you will soon discover that it was well worth the price. When you are buying appliances that will get a lot of hard use, you benefit in the long run by buying the best quality product you can afford. A good choice for commercial janitorial services in Los Gatos, CA is transpacificjanitorial.com
There are those who don't take cleaning their carpeting seriously; however, it really deserves their attention. Many people don't realize that the cleanliness of their carpets can cause health problems, but it can. If your carpet appears to be clean, you may decide not to vacuum until later. Your carpet can hide a lot of dirt that you don't see, so it's a bad idea to skip vacuuming. Most people have a habit of ignoring what isn't obvious. If they don't see it, it's not there! When our carpet doesn't look dirty, we just assume it's OK and don't vacuum. Keep to your schedule of vacuuming once or twice a week even if, at first glance, your carpet appears to be clean.
When you go shopping for new carpeting, take into consideration all the challenges you may face keeping it clean. We've been in homes that have white carpeting and it's very beautiful and has a touch of class other colors just don't have. The people whose homes we visited with this color of carpets seemed to be nervous that one of their guests would walk on their pristine carpeting and leave tracks. It seems to us that, if they were going to be so worried about their carpets, they should either have chosen a different color or never had guests over.

Like many others, the Open Book Alliance awaits the release on November 9 of a revised proposed settlement from Google, the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers. If repeated signals from Google and its partners over the last month are to be taken at face value, we don't expect significant changes to the earlier settlement proposal that was soundly rejected by the Department of Justice and many others. "Settlement 2.0" is an opportunity to for Google and its partners to make things right, and help bring about the mass digitization of books in a way that embraces openness, competition and the public good.
The Open Book Alliance is issuing the following baseline requirements that the new settlement proposal must meet if it is to achieve those critical objectives. These requirements reflect the collective expression of concerns by the U.S. Department of Justice, authors, publishers, academics, libraries, foreign nations, state Attorneys General, consumer advocacy groups, and many others, and thus we think it appropriate to review the revised settlement within this framework. As we saw with the first attempt, a revised settlement proposal that does not meet or exceed these requirements will threaten the rights of all, the livelihoods of many, and the rule of law. If "Settlement 2.0" repeats the same fundamental flaws, it should meet the same fate as the original settlement proposal.
The mass digitization of books promises to bring tremendous value to consumers, libraries, scholars, and students. The Open Book Alliance will work to advance and protect this promise. And, by...More

Get a K-pop Complexion: Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase Instant Perfecting BB Cream
Posted By Anna M. Park On August 19, 2013 @ 3:49 pm In Beauty,Pop Culture | Comments Disabled
Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase Instant Perfecting BB Cream
Coverage: Sheer
Shades: 1
Price: Approx. $16
Benefits: Natural phospholipids allow for better absorption of hydrators, diacetyl boldine counteracts formation of melanin, powerful antioxidant and brightening agent hordeum vulgare seed extract, vitamin C-rich maracuja oil, and lumispheres for brightening.
Review: The texture of this BB cream is smooth and creamy, a little thicker than a tinted moisturizer, and it doesn't have any dry clumps when you first use it. It goes on smoothly and feels really silky. Unlike tinted moisturizers, this BB cream melts into skin quite fast. It's not greasy and blends in perfectly with our medium Asian skin tone. The finish is semi-matte at first, and as it settles, it imparts a naturally glowy finish, which is perfect for those who don't wear a lot of makeup. It evens out skin tone and moisturizes nicely.

If you suffer from the terrible symptoms of PCOS then discovering a way to get rid of this condition is essential which is where Natural PCOS Cures come in.
Natural remedies are the safest and most effective things you can do for stopping PCOS because they go beyond stopping symptoms and tackle the root causes of PCOS. natural cures are also safer compared to other more well known and prescribed ways of treating this condition.
Hormone Therapy – Some doctors get the wrong impression and believe that PCOS can be managed with hormone replacement therapy. This is not only incorrect but it also can hurt a womans health! Hormone therapy is designed to bolster hormones espeially estrogen because the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome are caused by unbalanced hormones. This is not as good as it sounds however as the hormonal imbalance is just a symptom of a root problem. Also, HRT has been known to increase risks of stroke, blood clots and breast cancer.
Drugs – Like HRT other drug based solutions do not fix the problems because they try to stop PCOS symptoms not the root cause of PCOS. Some drugs do recognise that the root issues need to be addressed but do not end the problem but instead only temporarily relieve the problem … meaning the PCOS is still there but only supressed! As soon as you stop taking the drugs the hair, acne, weiht gain, infertility, menstrual pain and all the other PCOS problems will return. Not to mentaion many women suffer terrible side effects when on certain drugs.
So What root cause of PCOS is there you are probably wondering and how do you fix it.
The answer to this is Insulin Resistance. This is a condition where insulin, which the body produces is used to take convert blood sugar to feed to the body for various functions – In your case however the isnulin does not workl very well. As such, the body makes massive amounts of insulin in the hopes that more insulin will equal more energy as a small percentage of a lot might be enough.
What this means is that your body is flooded with the hormone insulin
This causes massive knock on effects to your hormone balance which results in fluctuations of estrogen, pregesterone and other hormones which sends your menstrual cycle into turmoil and thus … PCOS happens.
So to overcome PCOS you must overcome insulin resistance which requires a combination of a change in how you think, dietary changes and lifestyle changes which can balance your hormones and cater for your insulin resistance so it does not happen again.

The Kardashians
Kanye West Gets Booed at Dodgers Game With Rob Kardashian
Kanye West may have an $11 million mansion and maybe even a gold toilet, but it looks like he's finding out the hard way that money can't buy you love — especially when it's the love of sports fans.
The rapper, who recently returned to the US after spending some time in Greece on business, got some quality time in with friends and family, including Rob Kardashian, at a Dodgers game in LA on August 14, although he wasn't exactly welcomed back with open arms.
ESPN writer Arash Markazi, who attended the game, informed fans, "Kanye West was just shown on the jumbotron at Dodger Stadium and booed."
While Kanye received some celebrity perks, including an upgrade to a seat behind the dugout soon after his less-than-warm welcome, Arash noted that there didn't seem to be a general celeb phobia among the audience — the hatred was specifically directed at the Yeezus raper.
"[Former NBA player] Robert Horry is at the Dodgers game and gets a loud ovation. Sorry, Kanye," he wrote. "Robin Thicke is at the Dodgers game too and gets a standing ovation," he added.
Pro tip, Kanye: bust out some photos of that baby and you'll have your seat at the popular table back in no time.

This year marks the 35th annual Humana Festival of New American Plays presented by Actors Theatre of Louisville. Every year this event draws the attention of theater professionals from across the nation and around the world. Six world premieres are offered in rolling repertory, an amazing feat made possible by Actors Theatre's excellent physical complex with three stages. The shows can't really offer a comprehensive or coherent view of the state of American theater, but they certainly provided a sense of optimism that we are in for a strong, bright future.
After a weekend in Louisville when I saw all six new works, I can say with assurance that these plays are not likely Broadway hits — no mega-musicals, no big star vehicles. Instead, they are the kind of plays — thoughtful, topical, amusing — that will certainly find their way to excellent regional theaters like the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and Ensemble Theatre. One or two that I saw might be good for an adventurous company like Know Theatre.
Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them by A. Rey Pamatmat received a standing ovation in Louisville. That's unusual at the festival, but this drama with some good-hearted laughs had a powerful effect on people, and it's precisely the kind of show that Lynn Meyers has produced with predictable and positive regularity at Ensemble Theatre.
Edith, age 12, and her brother Kenny, age 16, live on a remote Midwestern farm with no parental supervision. Mom is dead and Dad has almost completely withdrawn from their lives. Kenny must be a surrogate parent for his spunky sister, who has an active fantasy life. Edith has honed her skills with minor weapons, including a BB gun and a bow and arrow, and imagines herself quite capable of protecting their remote homestead.
Kenny and his friend Benji, two geeky adolescents who recognize one another as kindred spirits, are awash in a nascent gay relationship. Edith initially doesn't like sharing her brother, but when she sees that Benji is as isolated as she and Kenny, they become an odd family.
Her martial inclinations create some trouble that threatens the balance of their home. The play succeeds because it's about some good kids, not quite ready for adulthood, who ultimately find balance and happiness.
Many people sniffled through Edith's second act and had tear-stained faces leaving the theater. Pamatmat's play takes dead aim, and it would be well received on a Cincinnati stage.
A work entirely suitable for the Cincinnati Playhouse would be Elemeno Pea by Molly Smith Metzler, the funniest show onstage during the festival. (It reminded me of Michele Lowe's The Smell of the Kill and Theresa Rebeck's Bad Dates, two hit Playhouse productions from the past.) Sisters Simone and Devon hope for a weekend at Martha's Vineyard, but it's disrupted by the traumas of the ultra-rich and insensitive. Simone looks after Michaela, a trophy wife who unexpectedly invades their getaway. Devon (Cassie Beck) is dismayed to find that little sister has lost track of their Buffalo roots and adopted the lifestyle of her employers. When Michaela flounces in after a major spat with her rich husband there is no chance for anyone else to communicate.
Elemeno Pea runs for a continuous 100 minutes with no scene breaks. Metzler writes witty and swiftly paced comedy. The Louisville cast — especially Cassie Beck as the plain-spoken Devon — kept the laughs coming until the final 15 minutes when Michaela is devastatingly humanized and the story becomes all too real. It's a dangerous turn for a comedy, from noisy hilarity to painful insight, but Metzler delivers it with such skill that it makes you realize snap judgments aren't always the most insightful.
If Know Theatre is looking for a good script, I'd recommend The Edge of Our Bodies by Obie Award winner Adam Rapp. Know staged his Red Light Winter to good effect in 2008 (it's onstage at CCM in May), and a decade ago Cincinnati Shakespeare offered one of his first works, Nocturne, a memorable monologue about a young man who contemplates suicide after causing his sister's death. The Edge of Our Bodies is in a similar confessional vein.
The speaker for this 90-minute monologue is Bernadette, age 16. Wearing a boarding school uniform, she reads from her precocious diary about cutting class and traveling by train to New York City to tell her self-centered boyfriend that she is pregnant. She has conversations with various men along the way — a grandfather on the train, her boyfriend's depressed, cancer-ridden father, a guy in the bar who picks her up, all recalled and recreated by the narrator, who might be dramatically heightening her experiences; she is, after all, a 16-year-old aspiring actress. But she's also on the verge of adulthood, still trailing the vestiges of girlhood. She is trying to shed her own skin. After her trek through the adult world, she sees life more clearly, and that's what this moving, insightful script is about.Three more plays rounded out the festival. Maple and Vine by Jordan Harrison was an intriguing drama about a couple who decide to live in a community where life in 1955 is reenacted. A Devil at Noon by Anne Washburn is a piece that explores a sci-fi novelist whose life and fiction get terribly blurred. And Peter Sinn Nachtrieb's Bob is a carnival-like revue about an unassuming guy who spends his life trying to be famous. I was disappointed by the latter, but the others added more depth to the festival. Let's hope that some of these make their way to a local theater.

The world has changed dramatically over the past two decades. During this period the number of people living in market economies has increased fourfold. Globalization has integrated the world's markets for goods, services, capital, and ideas. The process has contributed to a historic spread of democracy and freedom. Hundreds of millions of men, women, and children are today healthier, better educated, and more prosperous. The evidence clearly shows that the United States and its foreign assistance programs have contributed much to this progress.
Yet, there remain many growing challenges. Many countries are struggling in their transition from authoritarianism, controlled economies, and closed markets. A number of the new democracies remain fragile. The HIV/AIDS pandemic is spreading, killing tens of millions, threatening those that survive with perennial poverty and hunger, and destabilizing governments. Famine continues to stalk entire regions, particularly in Africa.
U.S. development assistance, and USAID, must move in new directions. One such example is the President's bold new initiative, the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA), which is based on the premise that the United States should increase support to countries that demonstrate responsibility for their own development by ruling justly, investing in people, and encouraging economic freedom. While a new foreign assistance entity, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, will administer this program, USAID will embrace the MCA principles of rewarding good governance and performance in our priorities for development resources. Our primary focus will be to provide targeted assistance to those countries creating a sound economic environment, embracing democratic governance, and investing in their people. USAID will also fully support the President's transnational initiatives, including those on HIV/AIDS, access to water, climate change, and famine prevention.
At the same time, USAID will increase its attention toward failed and failing states, which the President's National Security Strategy recognizes as a source of our nation's most significant security threats - international terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The people of the United States are rightly proud of our nation's humanitarian contribution. In recent years, the majority of USAID's humanitarian work, ranging from assisting internally displaced persons to providing emergency food aid, has taken place in countries in the throes of crises wrought by the hands of men. U.S. efforts are particularly notable in a variety of post-conflict nations, such as Afghanistan. Maintaining high standards for the delivery of humanitarian assistance in post-conflict situations enables an early start to reconstruction efforts that are critical to sustaining large-scale repatriation and reintegration of refugees and displaced persons.
Yet, to prevent human suffering and protect our national security, we must devise bold, new approaches to arrest the slide of weak states toward failure. Such interventions will involve risk, and their success is certainly not assured. But, the greater risks to U.S. national security associated with inaction in such nations can no longer be overlooked.

between the March and April survey periods, which suggests an acceleration in job growth.
Job growth averaged about 195,000 per month in February and March, with the unemployment rate holding at near a five-year low of 6.7 percent over that period.
Labor market indicators such as job openings, the duration of unemployment and short-term unemployment, suggest some tightening in conditions.
The health of the labor market will most likely determine when the U.S. central bank will start raising benchmark interest rates, which it has kept near zero since December 2008.
The Fed is expected to conclude its monthly bond buying program later this year and most economists expect the first rate hike will be in the second half of 2015.
The claims report showed the number of people still receiving benefits after an initial week of aid dropped 11,000 to 2.74 million in the week ended April 5. That was the lowest level in the so-called continuing claims since December 2007.
"The ongoing improvement in continuing claims remains encouraging amid more positive labor market dynamics, suggesting that workers are not simply leaving the labor force but likely finding gainful employment," said Gennadiy Goldberg, an economist at TD Securities in New York.

If the tubercle bacillus did not develop resistance to medicaments, no progressive tuberculosis would exist today. Since no unanimity of opinion exists regarding the cause of resistance, this volume is timely. It is unique in its goal of gathering the world literature and adding the author's own laboratory and clinical experience in the field of resistance as it relates to the tubercle bacillus. The author is a member of the famous Laennec Hospital in Paris in the service of Prof Etienne Bernard.
The book has three sections. The first, "The Resistance of the Tubercle Bacillus," with 12 chapters and 524 pages, considers such topics as origin, specificity, measure of resistance and its resultant metabolic and morphological changes, and factors influencing the appearance of resistance clinically and its prevention. The second section, "Survival of the Tubercle Bacillus to Antibacterial Medication," with six chapters and 152 pages, covers the entire gamut of

text: I have had my cyclocross bike since the end of May. I have crankbothers eggbeater sl's for pedals, and keen springwater shoes. My rides usually are around 15-20 miles, and almost every time if I stop half way or at the end, my feet have fallen asleep. I have messed around a bit with adjusting saddle height, and I also bought a pair of Hincapie bibs recently. As much as the bibs have helped with comfort (I will never go back to shorts), I still find my feet falling asleep. It's weird because I don't notice too much while I'm riding, it's when I stop. Not sure if it is my fat ass crushing some nerve in my perennial area, or some other factor. Any help/opinions/suggestions would be great! FWIW I'm 6' 305lbs. I also was just looking at some new saddles the other day at Ben's Cycle in Milwaukee (top notch store) and I really like the Brooks Swift saddle I tested. Curious about a San Marco Rolls/Regal though too.

ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia rapper Gucci Mane has pleaded not guilty to an assault charge stemming from an altercation with a fan at a downtown Atlanta nightclub.
The rapper, whose real name is Radric Davis, was charged with aggravated assault with a weapon.
An arrest warrant was issued for Davis after James Lettley of Fort Hood, Texas, who serves in the military, told police the rapper struck him in the V.I.P. area at Harlem Nights Club on March 16. Lettley said he was in Atlanta for his birthday and hoped to get a picture with the rapper when he was attacked.
The rapper's attorney, Drew Findling, tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Davis is out on bond and "just going about his life."

Confession of Saint Patrick
by Saint Patrick
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A birthday gift from my family, reading these writings personalized an almost mythical figure for me. Sometimes one forgets that the saints were (and are) more than just idealized figures in paintings and stained glass windows. They too "lived, saw dawn, felt sunset glow". But of course they live still, in the presence of the Lord!
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385491638, Mass Market Paperback)The autobiography of one of the most popular saints in history, now available in a new translation.
Beyond being recognized as the patron saint of Ireland (perhaps for having chased some nonexistent snakes off the Emerald Isle), little else is popularly known about Saint Patrick. And yet, Patrick left behind a unique document, his Confession, which tells us much about both his life and his beliefs. This autobiography, originally written in the fifth century, and short by modern standards, is nonetheless a work that fascinates with its glimpse into the life of an intriguing man, and inspires with its testament of faith. Here, in this new edition from internationally acclaimed translator John Skinner, the character of Patrick, his era, and his world vividly come to life.
Also included in this volume is the only other document known to have been written by Patrick, a letter he wrote to the soldiers of Coroticus--also Christians--who had raided parts of Ireland and taken away prisoners who were then sold into slavery. This letter is a wonderful demonstration of Patrick's rhetorical fire. Quite irate, Patrick harangues his fellow Christians, and the results are every bit as autobiographically revealing as the Confession.
John O'Donohue, author of Anam Cara, provides an insightful foreword that re-creates the unique spirituality of Patrick and of the Irish people, and shows how it applies to our lives today.

The reptile was white and black with short legs and a puffy neck but not considered to be dangerous.
10:52, UK, Monday 19 August 2013
Police in South Wales say a 5ft (1.5m)-long pet lizard that went missing over the weekend has been found.
The reptile, called Archie, disappeared from the back garden of a house on King Edward's Road in Swansea on Saturday at around 4.30pm.
He had been let out for exercise when the owners said he managed to escape.
An appeal describing Archie's black and white scales, short legs and puffy neck was put out.
The animal was found around a mile from his owners' home and has been returned unharmed.

Huskies, Thomas say 'we all we got' as they try for road win at UCLA.
If Washington has really "turned the corner" as coach Lorenzo Romar claimed and the Huskies are dancing in March, they'll thank Isaiah Thomas for saving the season.
In every way a team can be saved, he did it.
He told them, "We all we got," and they believed him. It became their motto and rallying cry.
"It's from a song, Murphy Lee said it and we've just been living that motto," sophomore forward Darnell Gant said. "And the coaches even bought into that motto that we all we got. … Once we bought into being together, no matter what, everything changed."

Most Read Stories
Not exactly.
After Oregon thrashed the Huskies at Edmundson Pavilion, snapping UW's 18-game home winning streak, Thomas called a players-only meeting.
They gathered in the locker room and players were called out for not performing to their potential. Thomas did most of the talking.
"I called that meeting to get our guys head's right and get together so that everybody knows that at the end of the day, we're playing for ourselves," he said. "We're playing for this team and nobody else. It doesn't matter what you read or what you see, it's about us."
Thus UW's motto was born.
The next weekend, Washington dropped games at Arizona State and Arizona and the Huskies' chance of repeating as Pac-10 champion was on life support.
The team picked 14th in the preseason national polls was riding a three-game losing streak and criticized by fans and media.
Romar said the scrutiny may have galvanized the Huskies.
"A lot of the negativity that's been going on, maybe that bothered them," he said. "Sometimes players don't understand that. … If it bothered them to the point where they want to take an us-against-the world approach, I'm not going to stand in their way."
Still words weren't enough.
Facing Stanford and Cal last week, Thomas stepped to the forefront again.
He drew the defensive assignment against Cardinal guard Jeremy Green, the Pac-10 scoring leader in conference games Green tallied a career-high 30 points in his previous outing, however, Thomas held him to seven points and Washington won 94-61.
The next game, Thomas was the point man on Cal's Jerome Randle, the conference's second-leading scorer in Pac-10 games.
Randle had a career-high 39 points in his last outing, however, Thomas held him to a season-low five points and Washington won 84-69.
"I'm going to do anything I can to get a win," said Thomas, who averaged 17.5 points in the wins against the Bay Area teams. "If I score zero points and stop the leading scorer on their team, I'm going to do that."
If Pondexter, UW's senior captain, is the heart of the team, then Thomas is its soul.
He reflects everything — good and bad — about the Huskies.
Sometimes the 5-8 sophomore plays erratic and out of control, but last week "he looked like the best guard in the Pac-10", former Huskies guard Eldridge Recasner said on a KJR-AM radio show
"I've been doubted all my life," said Thomas, who is trying to infuse his desire to overcome all obstacles into the Huskies.
"I feel like I'm the leader of this team," he said. "No matter if Quincy is the captain. He's been through it all. He knows the ins and outs of this league and he's a great captain.
"But I feel like every team I've been on, I've been that leader. And it's not just showing people, but telling people."
Pondexter, Washington's leading scorer at 20.3 points per game and three-time Pac-10 Player of the Week award winner, said Thomas and new starter Justin Holiday are responsible for the team's turnaround.
"We have a lot of people stepping up trying to be leaders and that's what every team needs," he said. "It's not just one person. It's multiple people that helps this ship go right."
Despite a nagging ankle sprain and mild concussion suffered Dec. 12, Thomas has averaged 18.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists. He's improved in every statistical category from last season when he won the Freshman of the Year award and voted second team all-Pac-10.
"I always have something to prove," Thomas said. "No matter what, you're never going to be perfect and someone is going to say something about your game. That's one thing in my whole life that people have said, that I haven't been that defensive guy. There's always something to prove."
The next challenge facing the Huskies is proving they can win on the road where they're 0-4. Washington (12-5, 3-3 Pac-10) plays tonight at UCLA (7-10, 2-3) and Saturday at USC (11-6, 3-2).
"We feel like we've turned the corner to where whether we're on the road or whether we're at home it doesn't matter we play one way," Romar said. "But we haven't done that yet.
"So it remains to be seen."

Christ the center of everything
Bible Studies For Life
February 5, 2012
Claud Williams, pastor
Boxley Baptist, Ponca
Scripture passage:
Colossians 1:9-23
When you read our text for this lesson in Colossians 1, it readily gives the message that Christ is the center of all.
The little word "all" is written in the King James Version of the Bible 11 times here in our text. Each time it refers to what a believer can find in Christ, who is our "all in all."
In the text, Paul prays for the believers to be filled with "all wisdom and spiritual understanding." He wants them to be strengthened with "all might," which can only come through Christ. He continues to talk about Christ being the Creator of "all things" and through Him "all things" are held together. Finally, Paul reminds us that in Christ "all fullness" dwells.
It is not easy, but it is doable making Christ our "all in all." I think most, if not all, of us begin our walks with Christ with a commitment to give Him all of our lives, all of our hearts, all of our homes, all of our marriages and even all of our children.
But sometimes the pull of our world takes parts of our lives away from Christ. It is then we must repent and return to our Lord with all of our being. He promises to receive us back.
Regardless of whether or not I make Christ the center of my life and my "all," this passage clearly shows me that He is the center of everything.
He is the One who redeems us through His blood. He is the image of the invisible God. Christ's likeness to God is so perfect that it provides us with a final revelation of God. He created and sustains "all things." He is the Head of the church, the Savior of the Body of Christ and in Him "all fullness" dwells.
When one of our boys was little, I bought him a bag of Gummi Bears candy. I only let him have part of the bag to eat. He was not content, though, to settle for just part; he wanted it all.
Because I was his dad, I could give him his wish, which I did. It is the same with Christ; we need only to ask Him!

Basic Info:
-12 Team League, Minimum of Eight to play (we have four)
-Free League, no entry cost. Just kind of a fun league.
-Pseudo-Dynasty league. You are required to have 20 minor leaguers as an unofficial farm team. You keep your farm team year to year, plus ten of your major leaguers (30 Keepers), which are kept in each round they are drafted
-BIG rosters (60 Players): 25 Active, 25 Inactive (including the aforementioned Ten Minor Leaguers).
-60 Round Draft on 3/22/13. Since they have to be ranked manually, I go by ESPN keeper ranks mainly.
-Of the 25 Active: 15 Hitters (2 C, 1 1B, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 SS, 5 OF, 2 UTIL, 1 CI, 1 MI), 10 Pitchers (7 Starters, 3 Relievers)
-Not necessarily looking for the most hardcore players; as long as you are willing to be competitive all season and have a decent knowledge of prospects (or are willing to learn), you are more than welcome.
-If you want to stay for one year or stay for ten, I have no problem with either.
Essentially it. Post below or email me at eclark641 at gmail. At most, I need five players, but I can be flexible in either direction.

"John Dies at the End" (December 27) Criticwire Page
"John Dies at the End" is a dark comedy-horror flick written and directed by Don Coscarelli ("Phantasm," "Bubba Ho-Tep") and adapted from David Wong's novel of the same name. In the film, a drug -- Soy Sauce, as it's called on the street -- allows users to drift across time and dimensions, but at a price: when you come back from your high, you may no longer be human. What you are, instead, is a very real threat to mankind. The comedy centers on two young guys (Rob Mayes and Chase Williamson) who embark to save all of humanity, despite being ill-equipped. If you like your horror films offbeat with a lot of laughs, "John" is right up your alley. Paul Giamatti, Clancy Brown, Glynn Turman and Doug Jones also star.

"King Kelly" (December 4) Criticwire Page
Shot largely on iPhones, the SXSW Film Festival discovery "King Kelly" delivers a "ferocious indictment of Generation Me by boiling it down to a single ditzy teen," according to Indiewire's Eric Kohn who gave Andrew Neel's satire a glowing A- at this year's festival. The film centers on Kelly (Louisa Krause), who runs an online sex show in the bedroom of her suburban home, unbeknownst to her clueless parents.

"Kumare" (December 11) Criticwire Page
In "Kumaré," director Vikram Gandhi plays the titular character, a guru from a fictional village in India who travels to Arizona to spread the gospel of his own brand of yoga that includes a special "blue light" ritual that doesn't exist beyond Gandhi's creation of it for the film. "Ghandi makes it clear that he actually came to appreciate the earnestness behind a mass desire to accept spiritual concepts for the sake of personal satisfaction," wrote Kohn in his review out of SXSW. "However, that doesn't alter the nature of his prank, which he describes as 'the biggest lie I've ever told and the greatest truth I've ever experienced.' He just makes it hard to tell where the lie ends and the truth begins."

Hi,I'm able to read and write contacts from the API but I've run into a few issues:- if I try and create a contact that has a 'jobtitle' element, I always get a 404, regardless of the value- there is not obvious way to fully update a contact, only doing it field by field or deleteding, recreating- despite what the documentation says, having a space in a category name is not an issue- if anyone is having strange errors while trying to post XML, make sure your content type is set to 'application/xml; charset="utf-8"'- the documentation for the creation of categories is wrong, instead of<categories> <name>Yahoo!</name> </categories> it has to be <category> <name>Yahoo!</name> </category> If you have any tips or suggestion regarding the first 2 items, please let me know.Tiago Macedo
for an easier means of updating contacts, look into the PUT /contacts endpoint http://developer.yahoo.com/social/rest_api...g.html#sync-puttry jobTitle instead of jobtitle.

I'm now using the Sync API but I'm running into an issue and I can't find the proper documentation.Can you please tell what's the maximum request size for Sync API PUT?Depending on how many contacts and how big they are sometimes I can post something like 100 in one requests and sometimes only 30 (might have something to do with the number of categories though) without getting a 413 Entity Too Large response.Is that limit documented somewhere? I can probably figure out the number of bytes by spamming your API but perhaps I'm doing something wrong as these seem awfully small requests.

Washing Tips
Pre-Treat Your New Fabrics!
It is very important to treat/ wash your new fabrics exactly as you plan to treat/wash them after the garment or home décor item is made. Even dry cleaning can produce some shrinkage. We recommend you test a 4" x 4" square of your new fabric if you are at all unsure how it will react to your chosen laundering method. If you always test the same sized square, you will be able to check the percentage of shrinkage.

I keep my bike on a frame. Is there some sort of solution to this? some sort of drip tray under the rack maybe?
I keep my bike on a frame. Is there some sort of solution to this? some sort of drip tray under the rack maybe?
Go to your local hardware store and have a look.
Cardboard and newspaper was always my solution.
Aha! Another use for a canvas drop cloth from Sherwin Williams. Not too expensive either.
My greatest fear is all of my kids standing around my coffin and talking about "how sensible" dad was.
Rubber backed runner or entry way mat is what I use.
I brushed my bike and gave it a few squirts with my water water and some wiping with paper towels at work then parked it on cardboard. there's a lot of road grime that drips off, not just water this time of year, plus road salt! ugh. maybe you can use a dark colored towel which can be thrown in a clothes dryer
cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting
A boot tray under each wheel? Is the rack vertical or horizontal? I might be tempted to just leave it on the floor if you were going to have something underneath it where you can't store stuff anyway.
Move south.
Several solutions:
-plastic crates: you can leave your bike on plastic crates until the snow has melted
something like this with a better bottom
-cat litter
-bicycle brushes or any kind of brushes that you eventually fix on your bike's frame and that will clean your tires while you ride
-shoe sweapers
-vacuum cleaner put upside down
-creme brulée burner
-electric BBQ (not to use for cooking food later on, hopefully)
-tire cover
-bicycle trainer (waterproof)
-electric concrete vibrator
-air-blow gun
Air gun... Hmm... I think we're getting closer! drag the hose out the back door and clean off the bike with a 200 mph air stream!
Pressurized air or steam seems to be the best bet
ice dam removal using a steamer
Leave it outside?
ride long & prosper
I used to use carpet remnants that I got for free at the local carpet shops...in their dumpsters...too gunky looking...in the trash they go easily replaced by another...I use them in my workshop as well...
You could just wipe the wheels with your hand or with a cloth. You could even remove the wheels.
I have a Mud Room inside the front door , and a second door to open, before I enter the house proper .
call a contractor and get the walls relocated.
It should be part of the way houses are built, anywhere it Snows.
You can make it welcoming, with a place for taking off your boots
and to hang up heavy coats , mine has a window wall on the south side,
so warm when the sun is out..

Actually, leaving the bike outdoors is the best solution, if you can come up with a safe spot to do it. Leaving it in the cold reduces the effect of salt and moisture, versus continually subjecting it to the freeze/melt cycle.
IDK. My unheated garage can be pretty bad at times. It'll cool way down on cold days/nights and then when it warms up outside I get condensation on everything in the garage. I kept a few bikes in the garage unused for ~3 years and the chains were rusty despite having been lubed when put up. Bikes in the house dry off quickly and stay dry.
I bounce it on the porch to knock most off... Then leave it on a tile floor. Dripping and wiping take care of the rest.
Temp cycling with varying humidity is less optimal for storage than constant low humidity conditions.
How about vinyl rain gutter? It comes in 10' standard lengths - just put end caps on it.

AURORA, Colorado - Cody Beauford clutched the second-place Class 3A football championship trophy as he fought back tears and accepted congratulations and hugs from loyal supporters.
It's not the trophy Beauford and the Rifle Bears wanted. A disastrous end to a near-perfect season.
Like all the Rifle seniors, Beauford's final game of his career was etched in disappointment with a footnote instead of an exclamation point. The trophy is the ultimate consolation prize.
The 32-15 loss to Silver Creek was a heartbreaking end to Rifle's season. The 2012 team was another example of a football program that seems to reload year after year.
Over the last two seasons, the Bears have gone 24-2.
It's the seniors whom the underclassmen talk about as they think about 2013.
With Silver Creek's defense clogging the middle to slow Ryan Moeller, junior Kellin Leigh found room to motor on the outside.
The shifty scatback, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards this season, has been the change-of-pace back all season. On Saturday, he rushed for 116 yards and caught a two-point conversion pass from quarterback Adam Rice.
Next year, he will be the featured back.
He said that the seniors have been mentors.
"We learned a lot from them, we learned together. We will be back next year," he said.
The cruel nature of high school sports is that seniors don't get second chances.
Something that is painfully obvious to Beauford.
"It didn't turn out the way we wanted. I wish that we could go back and start the game over right now," he said.
Sophomore Austin Shepherd's disappointment could be seen in his slumped shoulders and the physicality of the game was evident by the bruised and bloody knuckle on his right hand.
The foundation of quality football at Rifle is something the hard-hitting sophomore linebacker is eager to continue.
"I'm already looking forward to next year," he said. "I'm glad that I have next year, the next two years. I feel like we let [the seniors] down."
Shepherd said the senior class had a profound influence on the underclassmen.
"They were role models to me. They were like Superman and Spiderman to me - they are good people and athletic and they kept us up when we'd get down."
After so much success over two seasons, Shepherd said he and his teammates who will put on the blue and gold for the Bears next year are ready to fill those big shoes.
"It's very important," he said about upholding the tradition of quality football at Rifle. "I can't even tell you how much I feel the pressure already."
As the underclassmen look to the future, the seniors look back at a spectacular one-loss season. A season that ended in disappointment but bonded them through hard work and success.
"I love them," Rice said about his fellow seniors. "They are my brothers."
