I found that swimming really build upper body bulk and makes you stronger. I don't know much about how affects cycling, but it should make you more fit and build endurance, right?

If you are out of shape swimming will make you better at almost any sport. If you are already in very good shape swimming won't improve your cycling at all.
Out of shape? That's me!

I am trying to lose weight and get into better overall shape. I have started swimming at my local gym a couple times a week for 45 minutes to 1 hour at a time. I think it is going to help me quite a bit with general conditioning. Swimming for 45 minutes at a time is alot harder than I imagined it would be.
You should definitely keep swimming. I can't think of anyway it would directly help your cycling. In other words professional cyclists do not, as a rule, use swimming a part of their cycling training. Some of the climbers don't want to build upper body bulk. However, for over all fitness to equalize the effects of what cycling does for your legs and hips swimming would do for your upper body. Swimming is great for cardio and increases lung compacity.Originally Posted by TheDTrain
Would you like a dream with that?
Swimming is a good exercise, but I would not consider it a good "cross exercise" (as in cross training) because it suffers from the same limitations as cycling. They both don't do the gravity thing for maintaining bone density. I prefer brisk walking and weight training to go along with the cycling.
well, there are triathlons....those people seem to be in pretty good shape.
You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. That's great...if you want to attract vermin.
Nothing beats running and cycling for over all fitness, though I personally would have to do some weight traing unless it impeded my competitiveness if I raced.Originally Posted by wabbit
Well, yeah...but no triathlete that I know of just jumps in the pool and is a great bike rider or runner. Triathletes...like all athletes...must train the disciplines.Originally Posted by wabbit
That said, swimming is great for overall fitness, but to be a better rider, you must ride.
Your cycling will benefit from ANY activity that increases your overall level of fitness. Unless you want to be a paid team specialist in hill climbing/stages, neglecting your upper body for the sake of cycling and an additional few pounds of muscle is foolish. The body works as a whole unit -- in cycling and sports in general. Go for overall fitness and development throughOUT the body. That emaciated look with cycling and running went out a long time ago.
Amen to Old Crank. As a triathlete, I began a weight training program,designed by a physical therapist, focused on core strength. Forget about Hammer Strentgh machines etc..., he had me doing wood chops, standing one arm dumbell raises and leg raises with weight (sort of a step up lunge). Lots of stuff on stability balls too. The biggest improvement was to my cycling. Every fast cyclist I know does some running and/or swimming. IMHO do all three plus a well designed weight routine. I have seen nothing but improvement since I began mine. Since it's winter, I combine a spin session with 45 minutes on wieghts. Seems to work well as long as you don't do legs on the same day you ride. Likewise upperbody and swim combo days don't work too well either. Again MHO only.Originally Posted by oldcrank
"I am Captain Edward Reynolds of the good ship Sea Stallion. We are hunting Pirates!"
winter is the time to try this stuff. being a good swimmer is not only good exercise, but it's also a good skill to have. i say go for it.
on a slightly related note to running - i recently started doing an alternative: the weightless squat. basically i just do squats with my own body weight for about 3 mintues (around 50 squats), rest 2 mintues and repeat. it works the muslces and cardio system quite well, is easy on the joints, and takes very little time.
Cycling is great exercise but is one that is not balanced for your body. You use your lower body almost exclusively. You use your quads much more than your hamstrings. You build the outside of your quads more than your inside. Over time, the lack of balance could cause problems. Swimming can help the balance by giving you a good upper body and core workout. You should also do upper and lower body weight training. There are a lot of training books that describe weight training for cyclists. Yoga is good. Cyclists are notoriously inflexible. There is a good chapter on this stuff in the book "bike for life" - which, btw, is a very good book. It really does a great job of covering some stuff in pretty good depth that other training books I have read do not.
I need to reread the books I already have.
Just Peddlin' Around
I like swimming and think that it is great for cardio and upper body, but it really depends on the type of stokes that you are doing as to what effect they have on your body. Also according to American Journal of Sports Medicine, there are better ways to loose weight than to swim.
Swimming is a good workout. Unfortunately, its not very good for wieght loss, particularly compared to running and cycling. Do it to get generally fitter, and to have fun. But it's not the first pick if your goals are 1) to loose weight, and 2) to be a faster cyclist.
If you want to get in shape for cycling, use some flippers.
That was a great article!!!! Thanks. I am famished after I swim. I have told friends that I don't think swimming helps at all with weight loss because you are soooo hungry after swimming. I am glad to read thta others agree.Originally Posted by slagjumper
I hate the chlorine.
What about using flippers and a kickboard, just working on leg exercises whilst swimming. That would have to improve leg strength in someway?
I can touch mc hammer


text: Hi, new to the forums here. I live in Jacksonville, AL and have recently started cycling once again. I used to ride on a regular basis when I was younger, but put it down for a little while. Now with recent races and events in our area I have been inspired to get back on a bike. I think I like riding now more than I ever did before.

As a result of an increasing population and the amount of fresh water needed for public usage, agriculture, industry and the environment, the competition for water resources today is far more intense than 50 years ago.
It continues to amaze me what nature can come up with and in just the past couple of weeks, I've encountered beautiful winged creatures and horned monsters just miles apart. As far as insects go, they're even related to one another.
Of course, people judge what in nature, whether plants or animals, is beautiful and what is ugly. Perhaps most amazing to me is how much goes on under our noses, or sometimes, just outside our homes.

The 20th and 21st centuries have not been good for Americans who long for the founders' vision of a limited federal government with checks and balances between its three branches.
Those thoughtful leaders of the 18th century understood that power truly does corrupt and that once corrupted, it is incapable of self-imposed cleansing.
Lots of us hoping for brighter futures sock away money in money-market funds, savings and individual retirement accounts and mutual funds. Most of us have financial advisers who help us along the way and over time, most of the time, we're rewarded with good returns and growing nest eggs.
I'm in that group. My employer – I should say employers considering I have a couple of part-time jobs in addition to self-employed farming – sponsor 401K or 403B accounts and match a portion of what I contribute.

Summer break is coming to an end for most students around Indiana. I can hear the kids around our community grumbling about the return of early morning wake ups and having to study again. I have also seen it firsthand as my sons are now running around the yard.
All good things must come to an end as they will be running from my wife as she attempts to get them in the car to head to school.
Kids do not usually think about all of the parents rushing to get them ready for their first day.

WORLD CINEMA REPORT: A French New Wave: The Blockbuster; But Will Art Films Survive?
by Anthony Kaufman
(indieWIRE/03.06.02) -- Audrey Tautou smiles impishly on the poster for "Amelie." And with box office triumphs the world over, it's no wonder she's grinning: the Gallic crowd-pleaser sits atop the crest of a new wave in French cinema, the blockbuster. Sure, you can still find dozens of smaller, more thought-provoking movies on Parisian screens, but increasingly, such titles are being overshadowed by homegrown heavy-hitters such as actioners like "Crimson Rivers" and "Brotherhood of the Wolf," comedies such as "The Closet" and "Sexy Boys," and studio franchises including "Asterix and Obelix," "Would I Lie to You" and "Taxi" ("Taxi 3" is already on the way). What's next, "Breathless 2: Michel's Revenge"?
The statistics surrounding the French industry's upsurge are staggering. In 2001, French films saw a 400 percent increase at the U.S. box office when compared with the year before, and in France, local product accounted for roughly 40 percent of the theatrical market share. Just last month, with the release of Francois Ozon's "Eight Women" and the "Asterix and Obelix" sequel "Mission Cleopatra," the country's market share reached a record-breaking 66 percent. Dealing a hefty blow to Hollywood's overseas domination, "Amelie" and her mainstream counterparts have seen huge admissions increases in nearly every territory, according to Unifrance, an organization devoted to promoting French cinema. With all this attention towards the bottom line, one wonders what's happening to the French art film, that stimulating piece of intellect and artistry we've come to know from names like Rivette, Truffaut, and Godard?
At the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Rendez-Vous with French Cinema series (opening this Friday), the popular New York-based film program now in its seventh year, mainstream vehicles and idiosyncratic visions exist side by side -- a microcosm of the current French cinema's conflict between commerce and art. "The big debate in France," says Kent Jones, associate director of programming at the Film Society, "is about people like Philippe Garrel ['Wild Innocence'], who has an audience of, like, 10 and who continues to get his movies made." According to Jones, many commercial French directors like Patrice Leconte ("Widow of St. Pierre") and Jean-Pierre Jeunuet ("Amelie") resent the fact that rigorous filmmakers like Garrel receive continued support even though there is little audience for their movies. "They think it gives France a bad name when competing with films overseas," says Jones.
This year's Rendez-Vous lineup isn't so neatly divisible between both camps (in fact, many of the films straddle the fence), but it's still easy to see when a movie is trying to please the mainstream or satisfy the whims of the filmmaker. Take, for instance, two of this year's high profile U.S. premieres and those rumored to be heading for domestic distribution deals, recent Cesar multi-winner "Read My Lips" and festival favorite "Betty Fisher and Other Stories."
"Read My Lips," directed by Jacques Audiard ("A Self Made Hero") introduces us to Carla (Emmanuelle Devos), a schlumpy secretary who wears hearing aids to compensate for her near-deafness. Overworked and under-appreciated, Carla takes on an assistant, an ex-con named Paul (Vincent Cassel), and the two eventually find themselves inextricably co-dependent. All of this is fine, accomplished with top-notch skill (particularly, clever subjective sound and humane characterizations), but the plot eventually devolves into a conventional thriller. Some New York critics found the film's attempted blend of genre and intimacy exciting, while others simply wondered who would play Carla in the Hollywood re-make.
Likewise, "Betty Fisher," directed by veteran Claude Miller ("The Little Thief," "Class Trip") begins with what appears to be profound characters and an intriguing premise: Betty (Sandrine Kiberlain) loses her infant son and finds herself holding on to a replacement, a little boy who's been kidnapped. But the movie eventually loses the kind of complexity we've been set up to expect, with a couple of ludicrous subplots and an overly simple explanation for Betty's motivations.
Still, "Read My Lips" and "Betty Fisher" remain the nominal highpoints of the program's more commercial selections. Coline Serreau's "Chaos" is another mildly likeable hybrid, combining situation comedy, immigrant tragedy, and a mishandled crime plot. Directors like Audiard, Miller, and Serreau seem to be trying to appeal to a wider audience, while maintaining some of that "je ne sais quoi" of "le film Francais." Kent Jones says this move is indicative of a lot of French filmmakers. "They dislike the self-image of French cinema as being psychologically-oriented, minimalist, and revolving around people sitting in cafes," he says. "I understand the frustrations, the frustrations of feeling like you have to stay in this semi-documentary approach."
Indeed, many directors are turning away from that stereotypical French headiness. Olivier Assayas ("Irma Vep"), who is in the Rendez-Vous series with his sumptuous, over-long period epic "Les Destinees" (the only film in the program currently with U.S. distribution, from Wellspring Media) will turn next to the more commercial "Demon Lover," a techno-thriller that features American actors Chloe Sevigny and Gina Gershon. Patrice Chereau ("Queen Margot," "Intimacy") is in talks to launch a big budget "Napoleon," starring Al Pacino. And even challenging filmmakers like Bruno Dumont ("L'Humanite," the upcoming "29 Palms") and Philippe Grandrieux ("Sombre") are said to have plans for English-language Hollywood projects.
Jones worries that "Amelie" may set too high a commercial bar for future French productions, in the same way successful American independent films like Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" created unrealistic expectations and demand for more accessible fringe product. "When French producers see a phenomenon like 'Amelie,'" says Jones, "they might think, well, I'll give some money to a Garrel, but maybe they can bend their aesthetic a little to be more popular. That kind of pressure will be greater."
Still, the same economic conditions that have contributed to the increase in larger productions will also continue to benefit smaller films. France has an extensive support system of government subsidies, broadcast television backing, and the "compte de soutien," a film financing fund created from a percentage of every ticket sold in France's movie theaters.
The most precious discovery this year is one title that has surely benefited from France's funding dollars: French actor Mathieu Amalric's diminutive second feature "The Wimbledon Stage." Small on plot, big on ideas, the movie follows a French woman ("Va Savoir"'s Jeanne Balibar) on a search for information about a long-deceased intellectual giant -- one who fostered new talent, but enigmatically never published on his own. The woman's quest eventually suggests more about herself than her "Citizen Kane"-like target, and Amalric captures the locales of her journey (Trieste, Italy and Wimbledon, England) with a sincere, delicate style and genuine fondness. Even though little actually happens in the 80-minute film, it is entrancing to see such a profound love for every single person who appears onscreen.
Returning to Rendez-Vous is another such filmmaker whose work remains celebrated critically, but who has yet to reach wider audiences: Andre Techine, perhaps most famous for 1994's "Wild Reeds." For his most recent work, "Loin," another highlight of the Rendez-Vous series, Techine depicts a love triangle set in Tangiers. In a review for indieWIRE at its Venice premiere, Patrick McGavin called the film "a solid, moving piece that traffics in the director's trademark themes: family relations, irreconcilable sexual entanglements, the allure of criminal activity." And in what may be a sign of the times for certain directors of an acquired taste, Techine shot the film, according to director's notes, in digital video for economic reasons.
But the French art film isn't going away anytime soon. This year, we can look forward to powerful works from new talents such as Laurent Cantet's "Time Out" (released by ThinkFilm), a masterful psychological drama from the young director of "Human Resources," and Gaspar Noe's "Irreversible," the long-anticipated follow-up to his debut shocker "I Stand Alone." And veteran provocateurs are also back: Jean-Luc Godard's "In Praise of Love" and Eric Rohmer's DV epic "The Lady and the Duke" will hit U.S. screens this year, and Catherine Breillat ("Fat Girl") returns with "Scenes Intimes."
"I think that no matter who's in power in France, support for the arts is always going to be there," says Jones. "I don't see that going away. And thank God for it. You get to see movies like 'Wimbledon Stage' or 'Loin,' or a movie as completely weird and exciting as 'Trouble Every Day,'" continues Jones, referring to Claire Denis's vampire love story currently playing in limited release. "Nobody would be able to make a movie like that here. You need freedom to make a movie that insane -- to make a movie with Vincent Gallo as a research scientist."

I am in the process of deciding what kind of bike I will purchase: It might end up being a Mini Velo, perhaps a conventional flat bar road bike. Sometimes I wonder if it will be another Brompton or another folder with less folding capabilities and more performance oriented.
But regardless of what kind of bike I end up with, my biking style will continue to be the same: 20-50 miles a week, with some random longer shots and a proximately 4 Centuries/year. This bike will have a flat bar, with a mountain bike geometry. Average speed should oscillate between 12 and 16 mph. This will will ride 90% of the time under perfect asphalt conditions, with the other 10% being 3rd world countries pavement and some dirt roads in rural Florida.
What I am looking for is a set or recommendations, based on intention, riding style and budget. Here we go:
1-Pedals: I am a big fan of Shimano "Campus" pedals, flat on one side for casual coffee ride, clipless SPDs on the oposite side.
I recentrly got a lightly used pair of these off of e-bay for 28 bucks shipping included:
Question: Is there anything lighter/sexyer with the same properties?
2-Handlebar grips: I am a big fan of bar extensions and/or bullhorns, at the same time the Specialized Body Geometry old school as well as the ergon grips with bar extensions, so I am considering one of these bar extensions below:
Race 2 GR-2
Anything along these lines that you have positive feedback to share? Anything negative about these?
3-Saddles: Big fan of Specialized Body geometry, with sme negative experiences with Selle Italia (includng the broad ones, like the flite max gel flow and similars).
This is what I have in mind:
No direct link allowed, please click here
At 155mm width and approx. weight 345g (+/-5%), this is a confirmed good fit for me. Is it time for me to try a Brooks?
Done. Now I am all ears...

Currently I am running Zimbra 5.21 OSE on CentOS 5.5 32bit.
We are planning on moving to Zimbra NE 6.08 on RHEL 5.5 64bit.
What is the best way to approach this? I have 2 scenarios in my head.
Apparently I have to run the NE installer to "upgrade" and have it recognize the license file. I figure since I am doing an "upgrade" script, I may as well run the upgrade for 5.21 > 6.08.
Scenario 1:
CentOS 32bit Machine:
Run 6.08 NE installer on my 5.21 installation. This would recognize the license file as well as upgrade my installation. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Then migrate to 64bit after this following this guide:
Network Edition: Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit Server - Zimbra :: Wiki
Question: If I do go with this scenario, we do not currently use LDAP with zimbra. Should I just skip all ldap steps in the guide, or follow them regardless? Also, can you setup LDAP later or only durring install?
Scenario II:
CentOS 32bit Machine:
Run 5.21 NE installer to "upgrade" which will turn it to NE version instead of OSE.
Run 6.08 NE installer to upgrade from 5.21 NE to 6.08 NE
Then migrate to 64bit.
Thank you for your time.

Mayo Clinic launches its own social networking site
Touting it as the first of its kind, Mayo Clinic last week launched its own version of a free, open social networking community.
In 2010, Mayo launched Center for Social Media to boost engagement between medical professionals and health systems, according to a Minnesota Public Radio article. The newest social networking site promises to be unlike other existing medical group or hospital online communities.
"We're not aware of other online communities like this created by a medical provider group or hospital system," states the Mayo Clinic blog.
With Mayo's 500,000 patients and 50,000 employees and students around the world, the social community is aimed at "connect[ing] patients with each other and with others interested in learning more about Mayo Clinic or a particular health interest," according to the website. It includes discussions, news articles, Mayo Clinic blog posts, and videos.
"We're pleased to now be taking the next step, creating an online site to connect the global Mayo Clinic community," states the blog. "When you're facing a health concern, sometimes, what you really need is someone who has already been there. That's what this community is all about: connecting people who have been through the Mayo Clinic experience with others facing a similar health concern."
The Mayo online community adds on to a growing list of Mayo's social media popularity. Mayo already has the most popular medical provider YouTube channel, about 200,000 Twitter followers, and 53,000 Facebook connections, according to the blog.

To whom it may concern:
I am currently looking for a set of maps for use on Wizards "Wiki" page as a means of featuring some original content to compliment a campaign setting I am in the process of developing.
Please consider the pros and cons of this project seriously before responding.
WotC states in their end-user agreement that they gain all rights to use, distribute, and promote their website and any content using whatever has been posted on the forums...which includes my Wiki, anything you submit, etc.
As for the setting itself: Our story focuses on the remains of a world, torn asunder and shattered by the forces of primordial nature whom are laying dormant until the need for their arrival comes into play. At the center of all of these myriad islands lies a massive force of energy, spinning like the vortex of a whirlpool. It's center is hungry, pulling at what's left of the world with deadly gravity and pulverizing whatever collapses into its center.
Elsewhere, scattered between the various land masses, Are mighty pillars of pure elemental energy. Rumored to possess the life force of long forgotten deities, these fonts spill powerful, endless energy across all of the realm.
I have more details, but I'd rather discuss this further via e-mail. Please send all potential submsissions to:

On his way out the door of City Hall, Austin Beutner has finally spoken out about the budget calamity and the lack of any strategy to deal with the now $404 million deficit for next fiscal year — 10 percent of the entire general fund.
"We've just reelected half the City Council, and I've not heard one of
them propose a solution to a $400-million problem that's 60 days away,"
Beutner told LA Chamber of Commerce members Thursday.
His comments come two days after the election and just days before the dollar-a-year deputy mayor quits his post to join a new foundation on urban issues being set up by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg as part of his preparation to run for mayor of LA in 2013.
At least as reported by the LA Times, he made no mention of the fact that his own boss has provided virtually no leadership during the nearly three-year budget crisis or that he supported the re-election of the very same Council members who have failed to propose a solution to the budget crisis.
Despite the same old, same old results of Tuesday's elections, we ought to be holding a parade down Grand Avenue for every one of the ordinary citizens who stepped forward and worked so hard to throw out the deadwood at City Hall and bring in new faces with new ideas and a measure of integrity.
Instead, the kibbitzers, second-guessers and bystanders are taking over the conversation, which is fair enough.
It would have been more helpful if they had spoken so forthrightly during recent months or even gotten involved in the election process and worked for the changes they believe are needed.
Hopefully, they, like Beutner, will keep speaking out from their hearts in the coming months as services are slashed and workers punished for the failure of the city's leadership.
My own blog post on the election has drawn a record 53 comments, all of them whether praising or blaming are provocative and thought-provoking.
Ken Draper at City Watch LA today published some of the harshest criticisms of my own efforts with LA Clean Sweep.
Kevin Roderick, of course, delighted in the establishment's victory and provided the mocking headline "Cancel the Revolution."
Joseph Mailander at Street Hassle, more thoughtfully, surveyed the political landscape and offered his personal advice that I "take a month or so off" to clear my head.
Jay Handal of the Neighborhood Council Budget Advocates suggested in an email blast that LA Clean Sweep change its name and leadership
It's all helpful if we are ever going to create a city government that respects everyone in LA, balances the competing interests, needs and values and does so in a responsible way.
The only goal I have — or anyone involved in LA Clean Sweep has — is to stimulate and inform a lively public conversation that will lead to a greater Los Angeles, a great LA in fact.
If anyone thinks that 88 percent of the electorate being nothing but bystanders is a sign of a healthy community, they are dead wrong.
When someone like Tony Cardenas can win re-election with 4,000 votes — little more than 1 percent of the population of his district — something is terribly wrong.
But let's take a minute to pay homage to those who dared to run for public office and all the volunteers who walked precincts and staffed phone banks for them, even those who merely voted — they participated and deserve to be respected, not belittled.

Index of Memorial Resolutions and Biographical Sketches
View in portable document format.
It certainly can be argued that each of us is an individual, with special characteristics that set us apart from the rest, but few have been so noticeably successful and taken as much pride in their individuality as did Bill Eaton. While most of us feel compelled to fit in, to conform to our surroundings and quietly adopt the habits and values of those around us, Bill went his own way, with enthusiasm and a margin of defiance. He loved to point out examples in the world of what one might call the Emperor's New Clothes phenomenon, that is, situations where we all accept an established mode of behavior that really makes little or no sense. He scorned automobile and health insurance as a waste of money. He may not have always been right, but he was never in doubt, and his approach was a constant reminder to look at our own beliefs and ask if we are being completely honest with ourselves.
William T. Eaton was born February 22, 1938, and grew up in Oxnard, California. In high school he was an outstanding athlete; as a single wing tailback he was offered a football scholarship to UCLA, one of the few colleges that still used the single wing offense. He chose instead to attend the University of Utah and major in mathematics. As an undergraduate Bill participated in the Naval ROTC program, but after a tour of summer duty along the coast of South America he came to the conclusion that he would be better off out of the program. When it became clear that he would not be released, he spent a semester skiing, thereby failing all of his classes and resulting in his dismissal from ROTC. While it accomplished his purpose, this strategy may have influenced his choices for graduate school since he remained at Utah for both his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, studying topology under the supervision of C. E. Burgess. There is a contrasting story as to how this semester occurred that should also be mentioned. It says that Bill encountered the Four Color Problem, a famous conjecture in topology, and it was the conjecture rather than the skiing that took him away from his other academic obligations. Since Bill was likely to be distracted by both skiing and mathematics, perhaps both stories contain a measure of truth.
Following graduate school Bill took a faculty position at the University of Tennessee. Two years later the quality of his research led to his receiving a prestigious Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, and he used his support for 1969-1970 as a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. In the fall of 1970 he joined the faculty of The University of Texas at Austin where he remained for the rest of his career. Bill was quickly promoted to associate professor in 1971 and to professor in 1977. At a time when the Department of Mathematics was entering a period of rapid growth and improvement, Bill played an active role in undergraduate and graduate teaching and the development of a strong research group in topology. A significant step in this expansion was the recruitment of R. H. Bing from Wisconsin back to his original home at The University of Texas, an event in which Bill played a major role.
In June of 1961 Bill married Ann Stacey, and their family grew to include daughters Stacie Marie (1968) and Jennifer Lynn (1971). He loved his family, and their outings in their boat on area lakes were often shared with friends. Bill was an avid bridge player, analytical and competitive while maintaining an engaging sense of humor, and he played tennis with the intensity of a former athlete. His competitiveness extended once to claiming he could outrun a horse over a short distance. The resolution of this debate is now clouded in contemporary memory, but the most reliable sources indicate he lost the race and the wager. But his spirit was not diminished.
Bill did significant research in a field known as geometric topology. His work included the investigation of esoteric objects known as wild surfaces and wild Cantor sets. He was at home constructing these wild objects in dimensions four and higher, and he was able to prove that some wild objects are less wild than one might imagine. In particular, he was able to prove that any wild 2-sphere embedded in 3-space can be sandwiched between two parallel smooth 2-spheres so that the wild sphere sticks out in small spots on each side. This 2-sided approximation theorem was one of the important tools used in understanding the geometric topology of 3-dimensional space. With Carl Pixley, Bill also proved an important theorem about decomposition spaces.
One of the highlights of Bill's research career occurred in January of 1976. Professor Emeritus H. J. Ettlinger established a prize in honor of two of his most famous colleagues in the Department of Mathematics, R. L. Moore and H. S. Wall. The award of $3,000 was to go to a member of the department in recognition of outstanding research. A selection committee of internationally known mathematicians chose Bill as the recipient for his work in the paper "The sum of solid spheres" published in the Michigan Mathematics Journal in 1972. The presentation of the award occurred at the Annual Meeting of the American Mathematical Society in San Antonio and was attended by many distinguished mathematicians as well as the president of the University and the dean of the college.
In his later years much of Bill's attention was focused on the PL Schoenfliess Theorem. Given a polygonal closed curve in the plane, one can slide the polygon through some simple maneuvers that will systematically transform the polygon into a triangle. This fact is known as the PL Schoenfliess Theorem in dimension 2. An analogous statement is true in dimension 3, but the question remains unresolved in dimension four or higher. For twenty years Bill worked to prove this theorem in dimension four. He was able to prove some special cases of the theorem, and from time to time he felt close to having a complete proof, a step that would have led to international acclaim, but he was never able to complete the argument. His work was valuable in that it led to greater understanding of the geometry of dimension four, and his dogged determination stands as an example of taste in choosing difficult and important problems and practicing an unrelenting commitment to finding answers to important questions.
As a citizen of the department, Bill argued that the people we hired must be of the best quality. He was willing to take extreme steps, in salary or title, if they had the potential to improve our faculty. One prominent example of this was Bill's argument that we should offer a chair to a fresh Ph.D. named Donaldson, who eventually became one of the most prominent mathematicians of our time. Bill was something of a maverick in his teaching as well; he taught a number of classes using the Moore method, named for the famous member of the department who produced so many outstanding students, and he was inclined to propose radical revisions of our system of qualifying exams. He did in truth march to the beat of a different drum.
On a personal level Bill and his family were always close to other members of the department. He was a devoted father and friend, with a warm sense of humor, who brought a vibrant honesty, playfulness, and vitality to our lives that we will all miss.

Dorato, Mauro (2003) Dispositions, Relational Properties and the Quantum World. [Preprint]
Download (93Kb) | Preview
In this paper I examine the role of dispositional properties in the most frequently discussed interpretations of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. After offering some motivation for this project, I briefly characterize the distinction between non-dispositional and dispositional properties in the context of quantum mechanics by suggesting a necessary condition for dispositionality namely contextuality and, consequently, a sufficient condition for non-dispositionality, namely non-contextuality. Having made sure that the distinction is conceptually sound, I then analyze the plausibility of the widespread, monistic ontological thesis about the reducibility of dispositional properties to categorical properties in the context of the philosophy of quantum mechanics. I conclude that with the exception of Bohmian mechanics, the other minimally realist views of quantum mechanics require essential dispositions, i.e., dispositions of a non-reducible kind. Interestingly, seen behind the lenses of dispositionalism, Bohr's and Bohm's interpretations of quantum mechanics are much closer than it is usually recognized, a fact that could teach us something about the way the quantum world is.

The funeral of Michael Jackson proved to be a scene of intimate sorrow for his loved ones.
The King of Pop was given a private version of the lavish public memorial held shortly after his death in June.
Jackson's 11-year-old daughter Paris and her brothers, Prince Michael and Blanket, began the service by placing a bejeweled crown on their father's golden casket. They were composed through most of the hour-and-a-half ceremony in Glendale, Calif.
Gladys Knight performed the hymn "Our Father" and moved many to tears, according to one guest who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the day.
When it was over, many of the 200 guests hugged each other.
The mourners followed the flower-draped casket as Jackson's five brothers carried it into a mausoleum. Paris cried as the group entered the imposing building and was comforted by her aunt, LaToya.
As the service ended, Jackson's mother, Katherine, appeared extremely weary and had to be helped to her car, according to the guest.

release date:
July 29, 2013
When we started the label we did say that we wouldn't stick the jungle and drum and bass, so for the fifth release we thought it was time to explore new territories... Introducing up-and-coming French singer, Sista Bethsabee, and dub producer, Mark Mostek, who we worked with on a dubstep tune. Starting from an old cut that they put together, U.Stone came in to add his 'darker side of Dub' signature style. We couldn't stop here so we put Mooncat on the remix job, and the man who never disappoints came up with a DnB version with a slight Neuro touch, keeping the nature of the original version. Finishing touch to the release goes to U.Stone again with a much mellower jungle edit of the tune.Big thanks to all the artists involved in this project. Our goal has always been about bringing together people from various backgrounds and influences, so it looks like we're well on our way.

Here's how it all came about:
One of our favorite people that we've met over here is Bouteloup. (pronounced boot-uhhh-loop)! Say it. it is really fun.
He is a frenchman who in casual conversation the other evening mentioned that his parents took him out of school for a year. During that time his family spent four months sailing the mediterranean, four months in a camper seeing europe, and four months in America, down to mexico and onto South America. Oh no big deal, right? as if he could get ANY cooler. Things like this are always happening in conversation with Ianis. We will say something random like-oh we want to go to Russia and he will tell us he lived there for a few months. The other night we were laughing about protestors on May day when we were in Paris. He laughed and said ... oh yeah I've done that. you know crazy college kids. No Bouteloup, I was not nearly as cool as you and did not storm the paris government house for my cause. I could write pages on how incredible this guy is but now it's time to chat about the title of this little post. We got an email last night from our fave frenchmen- saying - how about we throw a wine and cheese festival at your house on Saturday? We've talked about it before and each time he says - "We will drink french wine and eat french cheese until zee sun comes up!" It will be so. dreams come true y'all.

We were lucky: a craft market was held in Rotorua today, despite the rain, and we found two sources of treasure.
Bob Collins worked as a Forest Ranger, based in Minginui with a patch including Whirinaki for many, many years up till 1987. In the course of those years he collected many burrs and sections of the trees as they were felled, rescuing them from the saw mills that were then active. After retirement he took up wood turning, using the thousands of pieces of wood from those wonderful trees to make bowls. These two are mostly made from rimu.
We are very sad for the trees that were felled, but glad that this wood, rather than simply being burnt (as it otherwise would have been) has been turned into beautiful and useful pieces.
Our other taonga (treasure) was found at the stall of Iris Herewini, who sells pounamu (greenstone), bone and paua jewellery made by relatives. Both these are made by her brother-in-law, who lives in Hokatika. We had promised ourselves pounamu pieces as part of this trip and had looked at so many (including in Hokatika), but these were the ones that spoke to us.
Both are made of kahurangi (cloak of the sky) greenstone, which takes its meaning from the cloud shapes within it.
Iris was great to meet and talk with. She told us so much about the greenstone and took so much time to make sure these were the right pieces for each of us, had the right cords on, were set at the right length and so on. We spent a very happy hour talking with her, and thank her again for her friendship.
|Places and people
This is the splendid Anglican building, built in the wood framed, clean style that is a hallmark of the older European buildings in the town. Inside it is amazing fusion of Maori and European spiritual art; the pillars, pews and beams are a riot of Maori carving with tiki and taniwha. The stained glass is exceptional, together with a magnificent engraving of Jesus walking on Galilee, positioned such that he appears to be walking on Lake Rotorua. (Photos are forbidden inside the church).
St Faith's faces a large marae in a lovely complex of buildings right on the water front. We weren't sure it was acceptable to photograph the marae without permission so we will wait for an opportunity when we know it is acceptable.
|Places and people
This is the main town park in Rotarua, which sets on the edge of an eponymous lake. The park is full of thermal pools, setting forth clouds of steam. We don't know why some of the trees round this pool have died.
The town has created a free foot pool where you can rest your weary feet after wandering around town. Very welcome! We sat there for a bit, then returned to our holiday park, where we could get into togs and fully luxuriate in geothermally warmed sulphurous water.
|Places and people
This is before our feet really started hurting, at a fab tree, which appears to have created this frame of its own accord.

23/02/2008, Rotorua
We made our way back to the heart of the geothermal area, the town of Rotorua. Here Pip was delighted to find greedy pukeko who begged endlessly. These birds are used as a general illustration of silly clowning all over NZ, and their antics fully deserve their reputation.
|Places and people
Nowhere on the walk were we far from the sound of water. The Whirinaki Falls tumble into this beautiful pool, as seen from the path above.
Sarah used this as a training session for her plans to walk the Queen Charlotte Track later in this trip. So she filled the backpack up with some of the heaviest stuff in Puff and walked quite fast. Pip, who has no intention of tackling a multi-day tramp, womanfully came too, with a lighter pack. However, Sarah might be training alone some of the time!
|Places and people
Above us, the height of a tall building, air plants are making their homes.
This is a very important forest for the local iwi (tribe), who have lived here as long as the oldest trees in the bush and have a profound spiritual relationship with it. The village is now responsible for the conservation and enhancement of the Forest Park and have a large scale programme incorporating improvements in the school, medical research and a management-learning programme called Tipu Ake.
(see www.whirinaki.org.nz/minginui/index.htm)
|Places and people
Further east, outside the tiny village of Minignui, deep in the World Heritage forests of Te Urewera, is the stretch of bush known as Whirinaki Forest Park. Our walk book recommended a nine kilometre hike along a loop track to the waterfall, and declared this finest stretch of podocarp forest in the country. We are inclined to agree. It is full of magnificent trees, and epitomises the layering of mature rainforest.
This picture barely begins to capture the majesty of the climactic podocarp, the great groves of punga ferns and the lush shrubs below. The birds are busy throughout the trees, and all the time leaves fall gently.
|Places and people
All our time in Orakei Korako, it rained.
The birds didn't seem to mind. When we left, after about two hours wandering in this enchanting region, the warm mud at the bottom of the Emerald Terraces on the edge of the lake, was full of ducks. Among them stood this heron (or maybe a shag) waiting patiently for some unseen signal to start his day of fishing.
|Places and people
The Happy Valley lies on the great fault that runs from Taupo to the sea. This picture shows one small section of another the fault escarpments created in the first century eruption.
For the first people who found this secret place, it must have been truly frightening. It isn't surprising that the Maori speak of a taniwha, water monster, living in the river below.
|Places and people
It is difficult, within our photographic skills, to capture the strangeness of this landscape. It is wreathed in smoke, painted in strange and vibrant colours and carved into fantastic shapes. There are enormous holes, sides slick smooth, at the bottom of which bubbles hot mud. Elsewhere, cliffs polished to shining white, hide funnels or caves which belch out hot steam, and gurgle before gushing plumes of water that fills the air with the stench of sulphur.
|Places and people
Closer up you can see the manifold colours left by the waters.

'The Best Man Holiday'
There's a kind of comforting, old-fashioned feel to this sequel to Malcolm D. Lee's 1999 romantic dramedy about a group of upper-class African-American friends and lovers. It's designed to be a crowd pleaser and certainly hits its mark, thanks to the excellent performances of its large cast. Now playing at several theaters. For showtimes, see Page H9.

10 Facts You Need to Know About the Measles Outbreak

Well its been a full five months since I set my goals. I have had some ups and some downs but in all it looks not so bad so far. May was a rough month but it ended well with my health, home, and life back in line and more miles than I thought I'd get too.
My goal for May was 200 miles I was only able to get in 148.5 due being off the bike for a good 2 weeks for recovering from pneumonia. The final week of the month was a good one with `80 miles in the last 7 days of the month. My weight loss continues to be slower than desired - still fighting the hand-mouth mind control battle. My prep for my first century on July 5th is behind schedule but if I can get in a 40-50 mile ride this weekend I should be OK.
So here is the data:
Goal: 2000 miles for the year - as of May 31 I'm at 911.4
Goal: lose 40 pounds (187) - As of my doctors visit on May 25th I'm at 217 down 10 pounds for the year
Goal: ride 3 centuries - first one is scheduled for July 5th - Mt. Davis Century
So how are you doing so far?

Mitchell Man Sentenced For Possessing Firearm While A Felon
A Mitchell man has been sentenced to more than two years in prison for possessing a firearm while a felon. 53-year-old Lonnie Dean Hunter was sentenced to two years and three months in prison for illegally possessing a firearm. His sentence must be followed by one year of supervised release. Prosecutors say that on December 3, 2011, Hunter possessed a bolt-action rifle. He is prohibited from possessing firearms because he was previously convicted of a felony.

The recent Supreme Court order on black money is really good news. It suggests that unrestrained and uncalled for action by the Court in areas where it has little expertise has peaked. Let me explain.
The study of time trends, from the Tulip Mania in 1637 to the 2008 sub-prime crisis, and the 2010 crisis of governance in India, etc, has one characteristic in commonirrational exuberance on the part of the major players. And a major cause of this irrationality is hubris. The reason the UPA lost all control and authority 2009 onwards was because it believed it could do no wrong, and that its ideas and mishaps of governance would not only be tolerated but approved by the people who had given it a strong mandate in the 2009 election. The Congress thought that whatever it proposed was right and damned any objections to its irrationality. In graphical terms, hubris leads to a blow-out or equivalently a collapse, i.e., an extreme turning point is reached.
In the vacuum created by the UPAs lack of leadership, in walked the Supreme Court. In one sense, this is as it should beafter all, that is what checks and balances are about. But this marching in can create problems if the balances transcend a reality check. And this is what seems to have happened with the Supreme Court. Over the last six months or so, the Supreme Court has enjoyed popularity and support for making decisions per se; when the Executive and/or Parliament is either impotent or makes the wrong decisions, the democratic polity will cheer anybody. Witness the outpouring of support for the motley crew of actors in the shape of civil society, media, babas and yoga practitioners. But this support is now waning, and that is happening for two reasons: first, the interlopers have been found wanting on many counts, and second, the traditional decision makers have got the messageeither act rationally and decisively or get shamed, and worse, booted out.
Hubris leads to blindness. In its most recent pronouncement on black money, the Court has most likely over-exposed itself. This 50-page document is historic, make no mistake about it. But historic does not mean goodit just means an extra-important event and, in my opinion, this judgment will mark the peaking of Supreme Courts activism for activisms sake. The black judgment is questionable on several counts, and I will attempt to document the pitfalls.

Price swings in copper, nickel and zinc slid to the lowest levels in about a decade, a signal that rising supplies and a slowdown in China have kept investors away from the markets after a decade of high returns.
The 100-day historical volatility in three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange fell to 14.9 per cent, the lowest since October 2003, from as much as 71.4 per cent in February 2009, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Swings in Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 commodities dropped to 13.2 per cent, the lowest in at least 10 years, from 56.9 per cent in October 2009.

The AMCHA Initiative has a new petition out condemning UCSD's administration for ignoring the concerns of Jewish students on campus. If you're Jewish and go to UCSD, I highly suggest you sign it.
Here's the letter:
Dear Chancellor Fox, Vice Chancellor Rue, and President Yudof:
We are Jewish students at UCSD who are deeply dismayed and offended that the following UCSD academic departments and administrative offices were listed as Endorsers and Sponsors of the Muslim Students Association's "Justice in Palestine Week: 21st Century Apartheid" (See posters here), which took place 5/14 – 5/17:
African American Studies Minor
Critical Gender Studies
Chican@/Latin@ Arts and Humanities Minor
Ethnic Studies Department
Cross Cultural Center
As in previous years, the MSA's week of events included numerous speakers and exhibits that demonized Israel through rhetoric and imagery deemed anti-Semitic by the U.S. State Department and promoted efforts to harm the Jewish state through boycott, divestment, and sanctions campaigns.
We feel that these annual events foment hatred and hostility not only towards Israel, but towards Jewish students like ourselves who identify with Israel, causing us to feel uncomfortable and unsafe on our own campus. Moreover, we believe these events violate UCSD's Principles of Community, which "reject acts of discrimination," "promote open expression.. within the bounds of courtesy, sensitivity…and respect," and support a community "where all people can work and learn together in an atmosphere free of abusive or demeaning treatment."
While we acknowledge the MSA students' right to freedom of speech, we are outraged and distressed that university departments and administrative offices condone and support such hateful and divisive behavior, which so blatantly violates UCSD's Principles of Community.
As you may remember, two years ago a delegation of Jewish students met with you and Vice Chancellor Penny Rue to express their distress that so many university departments and administrative offices had endorsed or sponsored the MSA's "Justice in Palestine Week 2010: End the Apartheid." Unfortunately, the serious and legitimate concerns which the students raised were not addressed at that meeting, and consequently Jewish students like ourselves continue to feel that faculty and administrative endorsement and sponsorship of anti-Semitic events contribute to a hostile environment for many on our campus.
We are aware that as a result of an investigation by the Department of Justice and the Department of Education into incidents of racist bigotry occurring at UCSD in 2010, the University recently agreed to adopt a comprehensive set of remedial programs and activities directed specifically at addressing racial discrimination and harassment. We believe that nothing less is required for Jewish students, who feel harassed and intimidated not only by the lies, defamation, and anti-Jewish bigotry promoted during the annual "Justice in Palestine" events, but especially by their endorsement and sponsorship by UCSD academic and administrative units.
Therefore, we urge you to do the following:
1) ensure that no University money or endorsement is given to events that are hateful and discriminatory towards a particular group of students or that violate UCSD's Principles of Community;
2) broaden the scope of the remedial programs and activities outlined in the Resolution Agreement between UCSD, the DOJ, and the DOE to include anti-Semitic discrimination and harassment.
We look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, The Undersigned
Sign the petition here.

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association have announced their annual awards, with David Fincher's "The Social Network" and Olivier Assayas' "Carlos" both doing quite well. Fincher's film took the prize for best picture, best screenplay, best director (where Fincher tied Assayas), and best score (where Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross tied Alexandre Desplat's score from "The Ghost Writer").
"Carlos, meanwhile, tied for best director, won best foreign film, and was runner-up for both best picture and best actor (for Edgar Ramirez).
Acting winners included Colin Firth for "The King's Speech" and Jacki Weaver for "Animal Kingdom," both of which seem like likely contenders in the general awards race. But Kim Hye-ja's win for best actress (for "Mother"), and best supporting actor Niels Arestrup (for "A Prophet") were both surprises, upsetting the likes of Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence (who was runner-up) in the former, and Christian Bale and Geoffrey Rush (who was runner-up) in the latter.
Meanwhile, "Toy Story 3" added another prize to its growing batch of animated feature wins, and Lixin Fan's "Last Train Home" deservedly surprised in the best documentary feature category.
Last year, "The Hurt Locker" topped LAFCA's awards, and went on to win Oscar's top prize as well.

With the Ashes gone and an admission that his stamina might be in the same category, England spinner Graeme Swann decided to call it quits on his international and first-class cricket career on Sunday.
Once touted as potentially Englands greatest spinner, Swann retired with 255 wickets from 60 tests. Critics might say he retired too soon, but Swann said it wasnt a spur-of-the-moment decision just four days ahead of the fourth Ashes test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground beginning Thursday.
Its quite simple. When I came out on this trip I half expected it to be my last tour for England, Swann told a news conference in Melbourne. But with the Ashes gone now in those three test matches ... I think to selfishly play just to experience another Boxing Day test match, a Sydney test match, would be wrong ... wrong for the team ... wrong for me.
The 34-year-old Swann says age may have caught up with him. My body doesnt like playing five-day cricket anymore and I dont feel like I can justify my spot in the team in the last stages of a game, Swann said. As a spinner, thats when you need to come into your own ... hanging around with a decision already made in my head wouldnt be right.
Swann said he struggled to tell England coach Andy Flower and captain Alastair Cook of his decision on Saturday, and broke the news to the rest of the team on Sunday morning. It should have been a very easy conversation, but it actually made it doubly-hard just to sit down over a coffee and blurt it out, Swann said.
After England lost the third test in Perth last week to give Australia an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series, Swann was forced to apologise for making comments on Facebook in which he compared his team losing the Ashes series with rape. I did apologise for that, it had nothing to do with it (the retirement), Swann said. Swann has had a terrible series by his own standards, taking just seven wickets for 560 runs in three lopsided losses. He struggled to adapt to the bouncy Australian pitches and the lack of sideways spin. He returned 1-92 in the second innings in steamy conditions in Perth last week after taking two key wickets in the first innings.
At his news conference, Swann said he wanted to be

It is easy to fall prey to simple errors when writing PHP. Usually when a script spits out an error it is because there is no semicolon or a quote mark is in the wrong spot. Even so, PHP is fairly forgiving and also explicit in warning of mistakes, but sometimes simple errors can also be deceptively hard to find.
The isset function is frequently used in if statements to test for a condition. Yet it can also fool the programmer when dealing with form input. For example input from a form looks something like this:
<input type="text" name="book" value="<?php print $_SESSION[book]; >" />
However, the $_SESSION[book] variable happens to be empty, because say a book has not yet been chosen. What is more when the user submits the form, he does not fill in the "book" data.
Now if the script receiving this data looks like this:
$x = "Eat chopped liver."
Then someone is going to be eating chopped liver because even though there is nothing in the variable $_SESSION[book], the variable is still SET.

What it sounds like is the ambiance of the phone room, with its hollow nature creating a echo of sorts, due to the microphone in the phone room being live during the pledging.
Echoes during pledge drive
Whenever there is a fund drive I can hear an awful echo. I have a good HD receiver. The echo only appears when announcers are asking for money. The music portion of the program comes in fine. The effect drives me nuts when ever there is a pledge drive. The last pledge drive I thought it was me or my equipment. It went away as soon as the drive was over now its back again.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Fan Shouts At Fiona Apple To Get Healthy, Legit Comment Or Too Far?
By Mack Rawden 3 years ago
Fiona Apple was ninety minutes into a concert at the Newmark Theater in Portland last night when the collective good vibe spun south in a hurry. Someone in the crowd yelled something about her appearance. Apple demanded the person be thrown out, and she plowed through one more song before tearfully leaving the stage. Now both fans who read about the incident and those who were there are fiercely divided about what happened.
By most accounts, Apple was looking a little thin when she arrived on stage and even behaving a little strangely. According to Stereogum, that caused more than a few concertgoers to grow concerned, but after a half dozen or so songs, many in the crowd settled in, though not the shouter in question. During a lull in the action, she reportedly screamed, Get healthy! We want to see you in ten years. In response, Apple demanded the house lights be turned on and the woman kicked out. On her way out, the anonymous concerned party/ heckler reportedly shouted, I saw you twenty years ago, and you were beautiful.
At some point during her final song Waltz (Better Than Fine), Apple supposedly started crying. Afterwards, she went on a rant, apologized to the crowd and left. Given shed sung for a full ninety minutes, its not as if the audience didnt get its moneys worth, but it certainly cast an ugly cloud over the entire evening. So, instead of happy memories, many went home with strange ones.
Apple has never been a woman opposed to getting goofy or even to following her heart. She once cancelled a series of concerts to be with her dying dog; so, its not surprising shed hit a range of emotions while on stage. To some, however, what happened last night fell well outside the bounds of acceptable audience/ performer banter. They seem to think the random woman should be ashamed of herself for screaming at Apple about her appearance. To others, however, what happened shouldnt even be considered heckling because it was clearly said with the best of intentions by one of her true fans.
What do you think? Are you okay with what this heckler shouted? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll below
Are You Bothered By This Fan Telling Fiona To Get Healthy?
