I've been a commuter for a long time, but I've never needed anything more than "be seen" headlights on my commutes. I've kept my recreational dark riding to a minimum (maybe an hour in the dark at most), so I've never felt the need to buy a "see" headlight.
My work schedule is changing soon and I'm going to have to do more of my recreational riding in the dark, so it's time to invest in a good headlight setup. I want quality stuff, but I can't really justify some of the $500+ lights out there. Any help would be appreciated on what you would recommend with about a $300 budget. Would you go for one light, or would you go for one on the bars and one on the helmet? I do like the idea of a helmet light because there are some twisty downhills around here where that could come in handy.
Obviously safety is number one, but I'd say battery life is the next highest priority after that. I'm not too concerned about how convenient the mounting hardware is because I won't be commuting with it. Lighter is better, but weight isn't a high priority on my list. Nothing personal, but I'm not interested in a Dynohub at this time.

Hi, im new to this forum...
I'm interested in buying a Campag Record Pista (Not because I want to show off but because I can get it for a pretty good deal) chainset w/ BB for my 2006 Felt TK2 frameset and was wondering a couple of questions about the BB.
What is the difference between Italian and English threads?
Is a Felt TK2 (2006) frameset compatible with Italian threads?
Are all bikes compatible with both threads?
Thanks for all the help

I read somewhere that the new challenge is to come up with one-word New Year's Resolutions. Many of the standard ones are pretty easy:
ExerciseThey're also pretty boring as resolutions go. (Not to say unnecessary or unworthy. Just uninteresting in their very necessity.)
So, although I need to do more of all of those things listed above, I've been casting around for a really really good one-word resolution for this year. I'm thinking of:
As in: be deeply present in everything I do.
This means I need to work more efficiently when I'm working. No checking email between chapters I'm reading to teach. Stop making excuses that I need to grade papers and can't exercise today, and instead make exercise the reward for working smarter and getting the grading done. No frittering away time online because the work is tedious.
It also means I need to play more joyfully when I'm playing. No more feeling guilty over a board game with my kids that I "ought to be" checking email. No more reading a bedtime story while making a mental list of the tasks I need to accomplish after the kids are tucked in. I am going to try not telling the children "yes" if I don't really want to do an activity with them (I'm not very fond of certain board games *ahem, Monopoly, I'm looking at you*) but then suggesting something else we can do instead that will make us both really engaged and happy.
Immerse means being wholly in this moment rather than worrying about the one I haven't reached or the thing that I can't be doing simultaneously.
It means admitting aloud, to an actual coach, that I want to start taking some figure skating tests and then committing to the lessons and practices that I long to enjoy. Six hours a week of skating is hardly an extravagance of time; it's just that rink hours overlap with work hours, and so I always feel guilty about taking time away. But (see above), if I work more efficiently, there is no reason I can't skate at mid-day and grade three or four papers at night.
It means doing 15 minutes a day of diligent cleaning rather than two hours of resentful cleaning on Saturdays. And doing it even when I'd rather fritter away the time on the couch.
Immerse is about dropping the endless inclination to multi-task and realizing that doing one thing at a time, really well, for the amount of time I am doing it, is enough. In fact, it is preferable a lot of the time.
It means dedicating a weekly chunk of time to writing, and then not doing all the other procrastinator-y things that are so much easier to do than writing. Like laundry. Or answering email. Or walking the dog.
I will have to find myself a schedule, and I am not sure that will be easy for me, since I seem to be more of a make-a-huge-list-and-then-just-start-plowing-through-it kind of girl. But the problem with those lists is that it's so alluring to cross things off that the easy things always get done first. And then, all of a sudden, a whole week has gone by without any writing or any skating, and the bathroom needs cleaning again, and then the cycle starts over.
I suspect there are a lot of things I will have to figure out along the way. I tend to take on too many projects and then burn candles at both ends to finish them. So I may have to learn to say "no," to choose more wisely, to be more realistic.
But I really really love the idea of doing things deeply rather than just trying to do all the things.
I like it.
What will be your word for 2013?

The United Kingdom's Office of Fair Trading (OFT) watchdog agency has given mobile phone app developers two months to adapt to new in-app purchasing rules that better protect children (and subsequently their credit-card holding parents) from in-game micro-transactions and messaging that generally encourages them to buy things to advance gameplay. The OFT has given developers a deadline of April 1 to make their apps for iOS, Windows Phone, and Android devices comply with new rules. The principles were announced last September and the OFT is expected to publish a finalized list later today.
Developers who do not comply with these new rules will be in breach of UK consumer protection laws and could risk being on the receiving end of an "enforcement action."
These new rules call for developers to tell consumers upfront about any costs associated with the app in question or any in-game advertising. App developers are also required to inform customers if their personal data is to be shared with third parties for marketing purposes. In-app purchases cannot be automatically made anymore either – the payment account holder has to give "express, informed consent."
The OFT is also expected to publish a list of guidelines for UK parents to make sure they understand when their children are being pressured into making in-app purchases. The guidelines inform parents how to change payment option settings on their devices so that a password is required for every purchase, how to check in advance to see whether a game has any in-app purchase requirements, and how to see if the game contains social elements. The guidelines also urge parents to play the game themselves to understand what their children are playing.

Our Support Team's ability to respond to your requests quickly and reliably is a direct result of our successful ongoing efforts to assimilate over 1,650,000 miles of 2D data and over 55,000 square miles of 3D data into the SEI library. Over the last 20 years, in this quest to make our business operations efficient and profitable, we have:
- cataloged and converted thousands of boxes of paper records into electronic/digital database records
- scanned hundreds of thousands of seismic films and sections to digital images
- converted data stored on countless analog and magnetic tapes to digital format stored on LAN or SAN storage devices
We have been successful with our data management efforts due to the experience of our Support Team. The leadership and many of the key members of our Support Team have 15 or more years with SEI and well over 20 years in the industry, accumulating decades of experience handling many of the major and larger independent datasets. We have also been successful due to the sheer determination, dedication and innovation of our Support Team, and they devote that same experience and passion to filling your requests for seismic data.
Our Technology Investment
SEI has made and continues to make strategic investments in technology to optimize our data handling capabilities.
SeisTrackSeisTrack, our in-house developed custom software application, is a state of the art internet based tracking system for our entire library. With SeisTrack, our staff has real time knowledge of what is happening with any given seismic line, seismic survey or media item in our library. SeisTrack allows us to efficiently manage our 2D and 3D quality check and firm order processes, as well as our data assimilation processes.
SEI XplorerSEI Xplorer is our custom developed software application that streamlines the process to pull 3D data volumes from SAN or tape library storage and define, then extract 3D datacuts for licensees.
InfrastructureWe continue to invest in our technology infrastructure to manage petabytes of seismic data. This investment is allowing us to transition our data management and data delivery functions from physical to digital.

Seismic Data LicensingOur License Team is committed to making the licensing process seamless and straightforward. We are an active member of the International Association of Geophysical Contractors (IAGC) and in recent years we have contributed to IAGC efforts to create industry standards for seismic data licensing. We now employ the IAGC Master License model, thus minimizing the paperwork and time required when our clients select and license data. Our License Team has poured over thousands of license records associated with datasets SEI has purchased to insure that we maintain the most accurate and up to date license history for our clients.

Plan for the Future
In 2011, SEI opened Advanced Data Storage (ADS), staffed with key members of our Support Team, to store and manage our extensive seismic library. ADS operates in a world class LEED Silver Certification building specifically designed for high-volume and long-term storage of items that require easy on-demand access. The ADS facility is located in Brenham, Texas, 100 miles from the Gulf Coast to ensure the safety of the seismic data media and records from natural disasters such as hurricanes and/or flash flooding. The ADS mission is to provide SEI with secure and timely access to its seismic data, so that SEI clients may rest assured that data licensed from SEI is available when our clients need it. The data management expertise, systems, processes and facilities that SEI has cultivated and built are currently focused on internal SEI projects, but may be available to clients in the future as SEI concludes these projects.

Second Grade Learn to Swim
Because . . .
The Y is a great resource for communities that are surrounded by water because they are "America's Swim Instructor." The first indoor filtered-pool was designed and built at a YMCA in 1909 and we've been teaching kids to swim even before then. Literally millions of kids and adults have learned to swim at a YMCA.
Here in Virginia, drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death among children so the Peninsula Metropolitan YMCA is taking a stand to stop drowning. We offer all second-graders the opportunity to become water-safe – free of charge.
We work together with schools and school systems that provide transportation for the students to come to the Y so they can learn to swim. Contact your local Y to learn how to get your school involved.
The following locations have pools and offer swim lessons:
- Hampton Family YMCA
- Luter Family YMCA
- Newport News Family YMCA
- Northern Neck Family YMCA
- Northumberland Family YMCA
- R.F. Wilkinson Family YMCA
- Victory Family YMCA
These YMCAs collaborate with community organizations to offer swim instruction:
- Mathews Family YMCA
- Middlesex Family YMCA
- Children ages 5 – 14 are the most common victims of drowning
- 58% of parents do not consider drowning a threat to their children
- There are over 7,000 second-graders living within our service area
Contact your local Y to have your child's swimming proficiency evaluated, it's absolutely free.
- Test & Teach – Have your child's swimming skills tested at your local Y; it's absolutely free. If you child is not a strong swimmer, enroll them in swim classes. The Y offers swimming instruction for children of all ages (6 months old and up).
- Watch & Guard – Never leave a child unattended around water. Appoint at least one adult "Water Watcher" to supervise all water and pool activities. Also, make sure there are non-climbable fences, locks, covers and alarms to secure the pool when it is not in use.
- Throw, don't go – Too often, drownings are multiplied because somebody tries to be a hero. If you see someone struggling in the water at a pool or lake, don't jump in to try to perform the rescue. Instead, throw out a Coast Guard approved flotation device or use a pole to reach the drowning victim.

Prior to the release of Grand Theft Auto V in September, Activision held the title of biggest video game launch in history with Call of Duty Black Ops 2. Activision UK senior brand manager Kevin Flynn recently told MCV that congratulations were in order for the folks at Rockstar, but that they shouldn't get too comfortable with the title they recently earned:
"Congratulations to the team at Rockstar for their success. We look forward to getting the record back before the next GTA title."
Activision hopes that the next Call of Duty game – Call of Duty: Ghosts – will be a huge success. One of the advantages Activision may have is the fact that it's a Call of Duty game that will be widely available for both new next-generation consoles and current generation systems – being released during the busy and lucrative holiday shopping season. We'll have to see what the attach rate is for each console, but it will likely be similar to the first Call of Duty game on the Xbox 360 when it launched…
Call of Duty: Ghosts releases November 5 on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U and PC. The game will also be a launch title on Xbox One and PS4 later in the month.

Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller was in Newton Friday to address people affected by Alzheimer's disease.
Family members and friends of those suffering from the condition wore purple and listened to Waller speak at Footprints.
Waller said he's glad to bring attention to Alzheimer's
in hopes that a cure will be found soon. He said the disease can affect anyone.
"In my opinion it may be the top health threat in the world today," said Waller. "And it certainly has affected so many people including my mother and an uncle that has passed away from it. It is unique in that these are true victims; it doesn't matter what your lifestyle is or what you do."
November is National Alzheimer's Awareness Month.
Waller is running for re-election this year.

While foreign languages can seem bafflingly different from English on the surface, Julie Legate, Associate Professor of Linguistics, says seemingly divergent languages have more in common than we think. Discovering the commonalities, though, often requires a close examination of the way meaning is structured in each language.
From opinions of the Hobby Lobby decision to top contenders in the 2016 presidential race, we're peppered daily by poll results, many produced by biased sources. Citizens may be jaded, confused, or just exhausted by all the information, but Associate Professor of Political Science John Lapinski argues that polling plays a vital role in democracy.
When Lucas Stephens needed assistance in surveying the Gordion archeological site in central Turkey, he turned to a revolutionary technological ally: the Phantom 2 Vision + Quadcopter.
The situation in Ukraine is seen as the most urgent crisis in the world today, reminding some of the lead up to World War II. What got us here? And is there a way out? Faculty from Penn Arts and Sciences convened Understanding the Crisis in Ukraine: A Faculty Roundtable to look at the events in eastern Europe from a variety of vantage points. Here are some of the topics covered:
Forming a corporation represents the pinnacle of entrepreneurship. But in the late 19th century, American corporate law as we know it was only just beginning to take shape.
On May 1, scholars at the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies will gather to celebrate and reflect on two decades of Jewish learning at the highest level. The occasion is David Ruderman's retirement as the Ella Darivoff Director of the center, but Taking Note: 20 Years of Scholars and Scholarship at the Herbert D.
March 13, 2014 marked the first anniversary of Pope Francis' election. Many consider the 266th Pontiff's style of communication and messaging a marked contrast to recent Popes. We sat down with Associate Professor of Sociology Melissa Wilde to discuss his impact thus far.

In 2012, India was named the worst nation for women in a poll conducted by TrustLaw about the world's top economies. College senior Sonya Davey, who has been traveling to India since she was eight to visit family and do volunteer work, knows just how wide the gender gap is. "I was working with a lot of women and children, and saw how women weren't treated equally to men," she says.
In less than two weeks the world's largest electoral exercise will unfold in India as an electorate of nearly 815 million—a third more than the total electorate in the EU and the US combined—goes to the polls. This is a potentially pivotal election in India, with the ruling Congress-party led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) facing defeat.
Urja Mittal has a lot on her plate. This April, the senior will not only argue her thesis, but present it at two unique academic venues: a Chicago political science honors program seminar; and a Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism conference here at the University.

An aspiring pianist suffers at the hands of a seductive roommate from hell in "You Will Be Mine."
An aspiring pianist suffers at the hands of a seductive roommate from hell in "You Will Be Mine," a sensually appealing but fairly generic psychosexual two-hander from freshman helmer Sophie Laloy. Gallic femme fatale Isild Le Besco (who manages full-scale eroticism without ever actually undressing) stars as a deranged college student who invites her friend to share an apartment, and then harasses her with draconian house rules and a fatal lesbian crush. Though we've seen this scenario before, well-tempered acting and a gorgeous classical score make it watchable enough. Extremely Frenchified blend of sex and high art could entice foreign distribs.When country bumpkin Marie (Judith Davis) moves to Lyon to study music and live with distant childhood friend Emma (Le Besco), the two get off to a reasonably pleasant start. But Emma soon begins snooping on, and salivating over, her naive roomie, while Marie eggs her on by wearing skimpy sleepwear and even masturbating once while practicing piano. By the 30-minute mark, the two eventually hook up, and things between them then go downhill as Marie tries to free herself from Emma's far-reaching clutches. Even the presence of a fellow pianist-cum-lover (Johan Liberau) — who prances naked around the apartment — isn't enough to stop Emma from trying to get Marie into bed a second time. Oscillating between the cutthroat world of conservatory musicians and a housemate horror story, Laloy's semi-autobiographical script (written with Jean-Luc Gaget, who co-scripted Icelandic stoner comedy "Back Soon") plays out rather unimaginatively like "Single White Female" meets recent Gallic hit "The Page Turner." But a few nuances, especially in Marie's varying attitude toward Emma, keep one guessing until the dramatic closing sequence. Both Le Besco and newcomer Davis convincingly play their characters' love-hate relationship as they move from one seduction/rejection scene to another. D.p. Marc Tevanian keeps his lens glued to the actresses' faces, capturing their slightest change of mood and making up for the banality of the dialogue. Soundtrack is rich with anthology pieces by Schumann, Ravel, Chopin and Bach. Director Laloy — a sound engineer — cleverly mixes these with catchy ambient f/x that maximize every squeak and creak of the oppressive apartment setting.

The Red, White and Blue move to 2-0 at the Canadian Open and 5-2 for the summer after coming up short in two previous matchups against Japan. The duo helped the Eagles surge to a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Playing first base and batting fourth in the lineup, Arioto drew a walk to load the bases. A single and a fielder's choice brought Team USA's second and third runs across and placed Arioto at third before catcher Ziegenhirt hit a sacrifice fly for run No. 4. Arioto followed with two more walks, including at the bottom of the second and a pivotal walk at the bottom of the sixth that juiced the bases again and set the diamond up for Amber Freeman's (Arizona State) grand slam to mercy rule the Japanese. Arioto went 0-for-1, collecting three walks and two runs, and Ziegenhirt was credited with an RBI and sacrifice fly in her 0-for-2 performance. The duo also played strong defense, finishing with a combined 10 putouts. The Eagles return for two games Thursday, starting at 3:30 p.m. PT against Australia and again at 8:30 p.m. against Venezuela.

Hey I haven't been round in a while.. not been near computers much for quite a while. Moved to Holland to be near some friends, thing is I'm having problems fitting in because of the language barrier.. Everyone speaks English here but it doesn't count for much because 90% of jobs still require you to speak Dutch and also when in groups of friends they don't speak English all the time and I can get left out of conversation etc.
I was wondering if anyone has any advice for learning a foreign language as effectively and quickly as possible? Should I tell my friends to stop speaking English to me completely so I'm forced to learn? Any stories from people who have been in similar situations would be appreciated also.
Dutch is especially difficult for me because they have special sounds that are not found in English at all... such as they pronounce "g" in a really fucked up way and they also roll the letter "r" which is alien to the English language also.

Was waiting for roommate to go to store cuz I was warm and snug into my room and ... downright lazy and finally said FOO-EY (complacent - pooooo) and so threw the bicycle clothes on and rode - turned out to be a nice ride too - little wind - little traffic - hmm so the city does sleep at night (actually where I live the corner stores, etc used to be open late - but due to being robbed, etc - they all close (can't blame them). So my ride to one corner store ended up being a big wide path and it was great. Actually I love night riding - and add to the fun factor that I did a thorough clean on the bike last night ... nothing like a clean bike for a good ride.
I feel goooooooood!
Just thought you'd like to know

Boston Marathon Medical Director: Getting Back To What The Race Is About
Last April 15 at about 2:45, Dr. Aaron Baggish was enjoying the sunny spring day and, in his role as medical director of the Boston Marathon, marveling at the low volume of runners who needed his care. Then the first bomb exploded, about 15 feet away from him. It blew out his right eardrum but the crowd blocked much of the force of the blast, and within seconds he was over the barrier and starting to work on the injured.
After the bombing, Dr. Baggish, who heads the Cardiovascular Performance Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, declined requests for interviews, feeling unable to speak publicly about what happened. But as Boston gears up for its next marathon on April 21 and he prepares to help oversee the race's medical staff once again, he agreed to share some of his thoughts.
As you reflect back on what happened at last year's marathon, what are you thinking, what lessons do you see?
Basically, I gave up very early on trying to make sense of any of this. There's no way to make sense of a senseless, horrible act. We'll never be able to put it into a neat compartment and say, 'Oh, yes, that's why this happened.' No sense can be made of it. So the next step is, what was the impact on me personally? How do I go about some form of healing process? And how do you reconcile the personal trauma with 'I have a job I have to do'? And we have a job now that we have to do this year, which is as important if not more important than ever: To run the safest, most medically comprehensive race we possibly can.
Are you medical director again?
Of course. You'd better believe it. Nowhere I'd rather be.
To ask you your own questions, what was the impact on you personally? How do you go about some form of healing process?
It's been a series of phases, if you will. There was an immediate, necessary phase of blocking everything out and dealing with the professional aftermath: the meetings and debriefings and making sure the volunteers were okay. That lasted for about a month and was more of a business-as-usual sort of feel than anyone could imagine.
But once the media coverage slowed down and Boylston Street was cleared, that's when the real, hard personal work started. That's when the concept of PTSD became a reality.
For example?
For example, I was participating in a Triathlon on Lake Winnepesaukee in August. It's a race I do every year, a half Iron Man, it's a special day for me, and I was standing on the beach and watching the professional athletes get going, and they fired a cannon for the men's start. I knew it was coming. What I didn't realize was that they would fire a second cannon for the women. So three minutes later, they fired a second cannon and I just disintegrated. I had an unbelievable physiological response. I became nauseous, shaking, and it was then I realized that this was a real, deep scar that would be left for a long time. That was a turning point for me; it made me aware I needed to talk about things more, not publicly but with family and friends and colleagues. That was a good step, and over the fall I very actively engaged with people I trust and feel emotionally safe with, to make certain I could start processing some of this. That took some time, and there were some dark moments there.
It really is a prolonged process…
The science is that we are heavily defended creatures and we do whatever we can to compartmentalize things and avoid things that are difficult, particularly when we feel like we have a responsibility to others. And I was worried about people I'm close with being worried about me. It was, 'I'm okay, don't worry, I'm fine.'
And now?
The next step was in early January, we started convening as a full medical group, as a full organizing committee for the marathon, to really start digging our teeth into this year's event. I was asked to stand up and give an overview, and I remember saying two things: This is going to be a tough year for all of us, and we have to take care of one another, but at the same time we have a job to do — not to worry about a recurrent terrorist attack but to take care of runners and spectators just like any normal Patriot's Day. I've said that over and over: As a medical group, as a state and a city and a country, we have to take care of each other but also realize that this year is a normal Boston Marathon.
That's a heartening thought…
It's a thought we can't forget, because by 1 p.m. on Patriot's Day, our medical tent will be full of people with dehydration and cramps, and if we think for one minute that won't be as much of a challenge as ever, we're losing the point.
But what about the possibility that it could happen again?
What I do is rely on the fact that there are people with all types of expertise, from public safety to disaster planning, who have thought through in so much detail how to make this the safest race possible, that we have all the stopgaps in place so that if there were ever another problem, we'd be even more prepared than we were last time.
What else are you thinking around now?
I was reminded by a journalist friend early on in this that history is written by the people who tell it. The decision to be silent for the first six months of this was a missed opportunity. If I were to go back and say something now, I'd say the reason all of us are involved professionaly or give our support as a community is that this is a great event which is a celebration of human life and human performance, and coming together as a community. That's what we need to remember the Boston Marathon is about and get back to.
This Sunday, as I do every year, I'll be running the marathon course myself. I anticipate that will be a powerful but also a really important step forward to do this again.
So you run the course on your own, in advance? Why? Of course, you can't run in the actual marathon because you'll be working…
I do it because I've done it every year and because that's what this year is about, is reminding ourselves that the habits and the ways we approach this race in every shape and form have to be celebrated.
Yes, I just run the course myself. I go to the start line and wave to the oncoming traffic and I run through Hopkinton and Ashland and Framingham and Natick and Wellesley and Newton and Boston and I get to the finish line and if I'm lucky, I have my wife and two children waiting for me. And I'm lucky we'll do that again this year…

Good 'Bad News' for the Mon
Sometimes we hope for bad news, in the anticipation that it will highlight a problem, increase awareness, and turn it into good news down the line. I find myself celebrating such a paradox today, as the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has characterized the Monongahela River as impaired due to elevated sulfate levels in this major drinking water source.
YAY! The Mon is impaired! Wait… no.
YAY! Now people will know that the Mon is impaired so they can do something about it! That's better.
You may recall that the Monongahela River was listed as #9 on our 2010 list of America's Most Endangered Rivers™. The Mon is threatened by the rapid increase in natural gas drilling in the area, which is why it was listed. However, over time the river has been greatly impacted by coal mining and industrial development. Abandoned coal mines, natural gas development, stormwater, farms, and other industries lead to increased total dissolved solids in the water. Sulfates (often smelling like rotten eggs) are a product of those solids, and the reason for the impairment designation.
Last fall, American Rivers collaborated with a number of regional and local groups within Pennsylvania to request that the DEP make this impairment designation. The DEP has recommended that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency accept this status change for the river in their biannual report.
We are hopeful that the designation will lead to increased protection for the river and the people that drink from its waters. Moving in that direction, the DEP issued new regulations last year requiring better wastewater management and prohibiting drilling for natural gas within a 150-foot buffer zone around a high-quality stream. We encourage the new Administration in Pennsylvania to continue down the road to protecting drinking water supplies from potential harm caused by natural gas production.

Cambria Detken was AMAZING on my show December 11, 2008!
Cambria Detken performed on my KUCI 88.9fm show, Moms Rockin' the House, December 11, 2008 and she was just amazing. I had a chance to first meet her at her SOLD OUT show at the OC Pavilion last month and her CD "Simply Said" is filled with great songs and did I mention she is only 16 years old! She is such a talented singer/songwriter/guitarist. I am heading to her show this Friday December 19 at Keane Coffee in NB to hear more. www.cambriadetken.com

last race was boring if it weren't for Marquez doing what a racer is supposed to do ie fight for the lead, try to pass, these races would put me to sleep. when has Dani ever fought for the lead, He just lays back and takes his place... I wana see racing not qualifying laps..
Are you for real... since when did MM get anywhere near the lead in Spain, or any other race this year bar america??? MM is the biggest follower in MotoGP right now.. Still learning my @rse!! As has been said Dani is far more aggressive and passes like Jerez, Le-mans (mutiple) etc etc. I hope we get a good race here but it is another Yamaha/Lorenzo track for sure!! Go Dani!!

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W350 review

Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-W350 is one of the most affordable ultra-slim cameras from a big brand name, and boasts an impressive feature-set to go with it. Many smaller cameras compromise on their lens range or lose out on wide angle coverage, but the W350 does well on both accounts with a flexible 4x range which starts at a wider-than-average equivalent of 26mm. This allows it to squeeze in a...

SANTA CLARA, California, February 14. HAPPY Valentine's Day! Dr. G. John Mullen has a special dryland tip gift for you today that forces you to keep your core stable while using your hamstrings.
This exercise requires a partner, so make sure you find someone willing to help!
Purpose: The hands over head curl-up with partner pulls is a sagittal plane stability exercise working similar muscles as the short axis strokes. Unlike most traditional core exercises, it forces core stability while using the hamstrings.
Directions: Lie on your back with your knees bent and hands over head in a streamline. Next, tighten your core musculature (flatten your back) and have a partner pull on the back of your shins. With your core active and spine stable, raise your chest towards the ceiling, attempting to have the bottom of your shoulder blades lift off the floor. Return slow to the ground.
Perform sets of 5 – 10 repetitions with the correct back position.
G. John Mullen is the owner of the Center of Optimal Restoration and creator of Swimming Science. He received his doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of Southern California. G. John has been featured in Swimming World Magazine, Swimmer Magazine, and the International Society of Swim Coaches Journal.

You nailed the first interview - now what? How to prepare for subsequent interview rounds.
Could you please share with me the best things to remember going into an interview? I've had 3 face-to-face, and feel like the one coming up next week is the one! - Ron D., Lakeview, NY
Congratulations Ron, it sounds like your job search is going well. Many people struggle with maintaining momentum throughout the interview process. Here are a few things to keep in mind for your final interview rounds.
Show your cultural fit.
Once you've proven that you have the right skill set and experience for the job, shift your focus to showcasing how you are a cultural fit. If hired, will you fit in with the team and thrive? Will you be around for the long run?
To find out about a company's culture before your interview, visit sites such as Glassdoor.com and Vault.com, in addition to the company's corporate site. Additionally, search your network to see if you know anyone who works (or has worked) at the organization and take those people out for a cup of coffee to pick their brain.
Prepare for negotiations.
I always advise clients to tactfully avoid talking dollars and cents for as long as possible. You want enough interview time to first prove what a value-add you are for the company, so that when they make an offer, you're no longer just a line item in the budget. You're a potential contributor.
That being said, you should always be prepared for the conversation. Research competitive salary information for the position using resources such as PayScale and Salary.com, and calculate the total value of your last compensation package. Use that information to develop a compensation range that includes the lowest amount you'd accept and the highest number you think you could ask for within reason. Consider all tangible and intangible benefits that are important to you – this could include salary, signing bonus, commission, car allowance, travel budget, training or continued education.
If you have the time, I highly recommend checking out Jack Chapman's articles on negotiation and his book, "Negotiating Your Salary: How to Make $1,000 a Minute." His information is easy to understand and incredibly helpful in the salary negotiation process.

Student senators are reacting to the sexual assault tutorial the University of Montana is requiring of all students.
Tonight, they watched mandatory videos and then took a required seven question quiz.
Each student must get 100%.
The federal investigation into how the university handles sex assault reports sparked this mandatory tutorial.
Micah Nielsen is an ASUM executive who was skeptical of the video at first. Now, she tells NBC Montana that it is done very well with compelling information and that students will take it seriously. "I don't know how a student could not take this seriously, given everything that has happened on our campus and coming from a place of confusion and wonder to a place where they are invigorated with new and good information."
If a student doesn't take the quiz or doesn't pass, they are not allowed to register for a second semester.
