'Rare' Gene Common in African Descendants, May Contribute to Heart Disease – "Researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College have found that a genetic variation that is linked to increased levels of triglycerides — fats in the blood associated with disorders such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and stroke — is far more common than previously believed and disproportionally affects people of African ancestry…. The finding offers a clue as to why Africans and people of African descent have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes compared to many other populations, says the study's senior author, Dr. Ronald Crystal, chairman of genetic medicine at Weill Cornell. African Americans with the variant had, on average, 52 percent higher triglyceride levels compared with blacks in the study who did not have the variant…. The gene variant the scientists studied is a single point mutation — a replacement of one of DNA segment with another — in the ApoE gene, which carries fats and other molecules through the blood." – h/t hbd bibliography!
A gene mutation for excessive alcohol drinking found – "UK researchers have discovered a gene that regulates alcohol consumption and when faulty can cause excessive drinking…. [M]ice with a genetic mutation to the gene Gabrb1 overwhelmingly preferred drinking alcohol over water, choosing to consume almost 85% of their daily fluid as drinks containing alcohol…. Dr Quentin Anstee, Consultant Hepatologist at Newcastle University, joint lead author said: 'It's amazing to think that a small change in the code for just one gene can have such profound effects on complex behaviours like alcohol consumption.'" – see also Firewater from greg cochran.
Predicting Human Body Height from DNA – "Predicting tall stature from these 180 DNA variants resulted in an accuracy of 0.75 on a scale from 0.5 (meaning random prediction) to 1.0 (completely accurate prediction). 'Although the achieved DNA-based prediction accuracy for tall stature is still somewhat lower than we previously established for eye color, hair color and age,' said Kayser, 'I expect that upcoming new knowledge on height genetics will further increase the accuracy in predicting tall stature, and eventually the full range of body height, from DNA.'"
Study Connects Dots Between Genes, Human Behavior – "The team studied individuals with a rare disorder known as Williams syndrome. By measuring neural activity in the brain associated with the distinct language skills and facial recognition abilities that are typical of the syndrome, they showed that Williams is due not to a single gene but to distinct subsets of genes, hinting that the syndrome is more complex than originally thought."
Different Gene Expression in Male, Female Brains May Help Explain Brain Disorder Differences – "UCL scientists have shown that there are widespread differences in how genes, the basic building blocks of the human body, are expressed in men and women's brains. Based on post-mortem adult human brain and spinal cord samples from over 100 individuals, scientists at the UCL Institute of Neurology were able to study the expression of every gene in 12 brain regions…. They found that the way that the genes are expressed in the brains of men and women were different in all major brain regions and these differences involved 2.5% of all the genes expressed in the brain." – h/t heartiste!
Only two genes maketh the man…or mouse – "The defining genetic feature of maleness, the Y chromosome, contains only two genes that are absolutely essential for male function – at least in mice." – "male function" = producing sperm, apparently. and taking out the garbage of course. (~_^)
Male facial masculinity as a cue to health outcomes – "Although both attractiveness and rated health were associated with better actual health in the past and future (mainly indexed by lower antibiotic use), results were mixed for masculinity. With respect to respiratory illnesses, facial masculinity (assessed using morphometric techniques) was associated with better past health but with worse future health." – h/t hbd bibliography!

In less than 60 years time Holland's jumps to $1,245 and England's to 1090. The North Sea's revolutionary divergence started at this time." – from t.greer.
When it comes to diversity, most of us vote with our feet – "Liberals are almost as likely to flee diversity as conservatives, according to new research by Prof Eric Kaufmann for Demos. Some 61 per cent of white people who were 'very comfortable' with mixed marriages (the best indicator of views on race) moved to whiter areas during the period, compared to 64 per cent of those who were 'fairly uncomfortable'." – from

The purpose of this site is to promote the appreciation and preservation of the mid-century modern architecture of the San Diego County desert community of Borrego Springs.
Located just an hour and a half from San Diego, and two hours from Los Angeles, Borrego Springs is a Southern California resort community largely developed during the 1950s and surrounded by the Anza Borrego State Park, the largest state park in the United States. Borrego Springs, like its better known sister to the north of Palm Springs, has been a retreat for artists, actors and architects.
Unlike Palm Springs however, Borrego remains less crowded, more natural, less developed and offers life at a slower more leisured pace. This site, and its information is a work in progress and will continue to evolve. We hopeyou will contribute your thoughts, ideas and knowledge of Borregos past and help. Its a legacy that should we chose to reserve, will provide great enjoyment for the future.

No Pressure, Rays Just Need to Win
This Tampa Bay Rays versus New York Yankees final 6-game battle royale needs no hype, and definitely needs no extra drama. It is the classic tale of lower (payroll) class rising up against the established norm. A meager collection of gutsy veterans and energized rookies banging their heads with Major League Baseball's anointed ones who's own city treats them like royalty.
It is the tale of the player who still drives the car he bought with his MLB Draft signing bonus against the one's who could buy a new auto for everyone in the clubhouse and still have money to valet each car. One is a team steeped in baseball lore with legends of greatness, longevity and feats of power unknown to the other squad.
Yankees versus Rays has all that connective lore and more, much more. The pinstripe now have the Rays initial franchise Manager acting as their Pitching Coach, while the Rays have the Yankees long time staple as their Senior Advisor. Interesting enough, so many thought current Yankee skipper Joe Girardi was going to be the Rays Manager after Lou Pineilla until the cerebral Merlot Joe won the gig.
There is bad blood that stems as far back as Spring 2008, with the aggressor of that day Rays INF Elliot Johnson on the field this series, and Franklin Cervelli again out with an injury, but not due to a 2011 plate collision with Johnson. Out in the Yankees Bullpen the Rays 2010 closer is being used as a set-up man while former Yankee RP Kyle Farnsworth is biting at the bit to get back into his closer's saddle.
Both of these teams used to train in St. Petersburg, Florida in the Spring, with some saying departed Yankee greats still haunt the old ballfields. Yankees even still call Tampa Bay their Spring home, nestled behind the blue-hued fences off Dale Mabry and within view of an NFL stadium.
These teams are so much alike, but so different at the same notion. The Rays have been able to use their Save-a-Lot budget tactics to bring 2 American League East title to their dome catwalks in 3 seasons. The Yankees are the only other team over the last 4 years to equal the Rays AL East haul, and that is if the New York squad can hold off the ram-rod Rays in their final 6-game showdowns in 2011.
Before last night's loss, their was fodder sinking and flowing around the web that if the Rays went 10-0, they would command the AL East title for the third time in four seasons, besting the high dollar Boston Red Sox and Yankees with a payroll that is less than their bench players make…combined. Maybe there is something to that "Moneyball" shenanigans.
Most have come into this series with the pure thought that the Rays will have to duplicate their "Fenway magic" in the replica Yankee Stadium if they are to fully send the Red Sox Nation into a tailspin, even before their upcoming 3-game weekend slate with these same Pinstripes. More importantly, this Yankee club would like to see nothing better than to see the Red Sox and their Nation try and justify out this recent plunder into the deep recesses of failure.
But the Rays are not going into this Yankee series without reservations. Their offense needs to crank itself up a notch, particularly with left-handed hitter aiming for the Rightfield short porch. Rays DH Johnny Damon needs to revisit a few of his Pinstripe past moments of pushing the ball into the stands, possibly aiding in the Rays taking 3 out of 4.
Even if the Rays play perfect ball both from their defense to their starting pitching, mistakes and lapses in judgment even at the plate can not be tolerated. Rays 2B/RF Ben Zobrist has to come into the nightcap game with vision of his newborn daughter dancing in his head, and a goal of planting a few souvenirs into the famed outfield stands.
Doesn't matter who is on the hill to start, the Rays have the hurlers to keep the series interesting, the question is which Rays offense will show up…the anemic Baltimore crew who looked like they had food poisoning during their 3-game debacle or the swatting squad that sent Red Sox Nation scurrying onto Yakey Way talking to themselves about their darking fate.
The Rays have nothing to lose, and should play the Yankees with abandon knowing their fate lies firmly within their own hands, The Yankees do not have that luxury. Defeats will bring about worry and doubt heading into the final stretch, which would favor their adversary. Consider the fact that the Yankees have to play both Tampa Bay and Boston over that 10 game stretch, and the pressure cooker is gaining steam for the Yankees.
The possibilities of securing back-to-back series wins is firmly planted within the minds of the Rays, and the Bombers will do everything short of urban warfare to secure and safely conceal their quest of another AL East crown. Emotions will be sky high on both sides of the field as the Yankees still have a lingering hole in their souls after losing the AL East title on their last grasp in 2010.
If the Rays play the way they did in their 4 games in Boston and take the game to the Yankees, even during their day/night double-dose, this Rays team might have to all go have dinner at the Cracker Barrel a few blocks from the St. Petersburg/Clearwater Airport. For if this Rays team does the same to the Yankees that they just did to the Red Sox, when the Rays land late Thursday evening maybe Maddon should buy the whole team "meatloaf with a side of gravy" upon their return. I can smell it already.

UPDATE: Ryan Gosling's people have told the folks over at the EW that he will not in fact be playing the Lone Ranger alongside Johnny Depp as Tonto. Honestly, it's probably for the best.
Last fall it was announced that Johnny Depp would be playing Tonto in the new "Lone Ranger" film, which begged the obvious question, Who's gonna play the Lone Ranger?
Right now it appears that Ryan Gosling has the inside track on the role of the masked lawman, according to The Wrap.
U.S. & World
The idea of Gosling on a horse makes us snicker a bit, but he's a great actor and its an iconic role. And with Depp already on board, Gore Verbinski directing and Jerry Bruckheimer producing the film for Disney, this would be far and away the biggest film of Gosling's career. "Revolutionary Road" scribe Justin Haythe is working on the screenplay.
Gosling's been building towards this level project for a while now. He's made a name for himself in indie hits like "Half Nelson," "Lars and the Real Girls" and "Blue Valentine," and this year he'll be starring in more commercial fare, like Steve Carell's "Crazy, Stupid, Love." which is out July 29.
But the film that has us waiting impatiently is "Drive," directed by Nicholas Winging Refn, in which Gosling plays a stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway man. It was recently announced that the film would be in competition at Cannes, which of course has raised our expectations even higher.

Nikon D4 write speed (firmware A:1.00 B:1.00)
This page was last updated on March 31, 2012
The data in the JPEG and RAW columns in the table below was derived by timing how long it took the Nikon D4 to write
30 JPEG Fine and then
30 NEF photos to the memory
card. Timing commenced when the camera's card status light illuminated,
and stopped when the light went out. Each test cycle was performed three
times (if the card's capacity allowed for that) to ensure accurate
results. The data has been converted to megabytes-per-second (MB/s). Higher numbers are better.
The figure in the Burst column represents how many NEF + JPEG pictures the camera was able to take in 30 seconds. Higher numbers are better, and a relatively small difference in the number of frames captured translates to a noticeable difference in how much faster one card feels than another, when shooting frequent extended bursts.

I recently switched from another product to ImageForWindows. I like its features and really like the fact it is a relatively small utility (the other product has grown to become much too big and complicated).
Two features that I miss from the other product are: (1) the ability to request a differential backup backup without concern for whether the full-backup file exists, and (2) having a scheduled backup be visible to a user with restricted credentials.
I may need to explain (2). When I use the Windows task scheduler to run IFW with Admin credentials, another user who is logged on at the time the backup is scheduled to run will not see any window or icon in the system tray to indicate the backup is running. If the backup fails or is not scheduled as expected, the user may not realize there is a problem.
I wrote two vbscripts to give me these features. I use it on a WinXP system. My design objectives were:
-- scripts can be run by a user with less than Administrator privileges
-- backup operation is visible to the user
-- differential backup will not fail if full-backup file does not exist
I use two vbscripts. The first script (ImageVolume.vbs) is invoked by the user who specifies the volume to backup, the full-backup file name and the type of backup to take (full or differential). The second script (ImageVolumeProc.vbs) is invoked by the first script. It runs with Admin privileges and it runs ImageForWindows with the needed Admin privileges.
If a differential backup is requested and the full-backup file does not exist, the backup type is changed to full.
I use a third-party freeware program called RunItAs from http://www.chessware.ch to invoke the second script with Admin credentials. Unforunately, using a vbscript in this way opens a hole in system security. The second vbscript could be changed accidentally or intentionally to do something harmful and it would run with elevated privileges. This is not a problem for me because I use this on a system where I am the only user.
This problem could be avoided by either requiring the user to enter the Adminstrator's password or replace the second vbscript with a compiled program that cannot be changed without breaking the RunItAs connection. If you prompt for password, RunItAs is not needed. The second vbscript can be invoked directly using the shell.Run command with the "runas" parameter.
There is at least one other item where there is room for improvement so I welcome comments. The mapping between volume letter and drive/partition numbers is hard coded.
These items may be intolerable for others. For my purposes, I can live with these shortcomings although I would be very interested in learning how to dynamically map volume to drive/partition.
If you wish to use the Windows task scheduler with the first script, you should create a task that invokes wscript with appropriate parameters. For example:
wscript C:\Util\ImageVolume.vbs F H:\Bkups\Volume DIFF
The two scripts are attached. I hope their comments are sufficient to explain how they work. If you do want to use them, you will need to change the code that maps volume letters to drive/parition numbers and probably will want to change file and folder names according to your preferences.
I am not sure what is the proper procedure for this forum. I did not include any type of ReadMe file or identifying information. If that is needed, I will be happy to provide it.

< Back to Theatre
The Artist - Live in Concert
Two years after it charmed the world with its nostalgic look at the golden days of the Hollywood silent film, five-times Oscar-winning movie The Artist now comes to the Royal Albert Hall for an exclusive UK premiere, with its score performed live by the London Symphony Orchestra.
The LSO, with composer-pianist Ludovic Bource and conductor by Ernst Van Tiel, bring this gorgeous monochrome modern classic to life, playing synchronously with a high-definition screening of the film. Counting Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor among its quintet of Academy Awards, an already wonderful film experience will here transcend to the sublime.
Written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius, scored by Ludovic Bource and starring Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo, the film takes place in Hollywood between 1927 and 1932.
It focuses on the relationship between an older silent film star and a rising young actress, as silent cinema falls out of fashion and is replaced by the talkies.

Well… I almost don't work with web apps written in ASP.
However, every now and then a client asks for a site in this language.
And every single time, i have to look at my "cheat sheet" to remember some simple stuff.
So… as sometimes my files get messy, and hard to find, i'll be posting some of those "cheats" here.
(This, was practically copied from here : http://sestud.uv.es/manual.esp/asp/asp16.htm )
Server.CreateObject Method
Using this object, we will have a way to look (and change) to the structure of files/folders on a given system. First, you need to create a FileSystem object, and then, the File or Folder object (i think you can guess which one is for files , or folders)
<% Set FS = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set File = FS.GetFile("C:\ASP\text.txt") Set Folder = FS.GetFolder("C:\ASP") %>
* FS is a FileSystem object, which will allow us to access the file system on the server.
* File is a File object, which will allow us to access the properties of a text fiel, called text.txt (under c:\ASP\)
* Folder is a Folder object (duh), and will allow us to access properties of the c:\ASP folder.
Now… lets take a look at the properties, that can be "read only" (R) or "read/write" (RW). I'll use Object as a wildcard for both, File and Folder.
And now, the methods:
In every case, every object must be closed in the reverse order they were created.
<% File.Close Set File = Nothing Folder.Close Set Folder = Nothing FS.Close Set FS = Nothing %>
To finish, a full example of a directory listing :
<% set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") path = Server.MapPath("/") set folder = fs.GetFolder(path) For each file in folder.Files Response.write "Filename : " & File.Name & " <br>" Next %>
Your mod_bw is really a nice work!

It's Janet Yellen day today, with the new Fed chair testifying on Capitol Hill about the state of monetary policy.
Then at 10:00 a.m., the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the Job Openings and Labor Market Survey ("JOLTS" report), which Yellen herself has cited as an important labor market indicator.
So here are the four charts we'll be looking at today.
Job openings are on the rise, up 5.6% year-over-year compared to November 2012.
Hires have been climbing slightly.
Layoffs are way down, which may be good, unless it's a sign of "labor hoarding." The idea here is that firms may be stockpiling the labor they have in order to maximize the productivity of the workers that outlasted the recession. When you see layoffs plunging but hires yet to really break through, it's an indication of labor hoarding instead of growth.
Quits have increased, up about 13% year-over-year. These are voluntary separations, so that's a good thing. People tend to quit their jobs if they're confident in the labor market and economy.

Richard WAGNER (1813-1883)
Der fliegende Holländer (1843) [140.11]
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (baritone) - Dutchman; Marianne Schech (soprano) - Senta; Gottlob Frick (bass) - Daland; Rudolf Schock (tenor) - Erik; Fritz Wunderlich (tenor) - : Steersman; Sieglinde Wagner - Mary
Berlin State Opera Chorus, Berlin Staatskappelle/Franz Konwitschny
rec. Grunewaldkirche, Berlin, February 1960
This recording has had a somewhat chequered history. Originally made in 1960 by Deutsches Schallplatten, it first appeared in the UK as a limited edition LP set available only through World Record Club. It then became more generally available, finally emerging as a mid-price reissue from EMI in their Everyman Opera series. However by that stage EMI already had in their catalogues later recordings conducted by Klemperer and Karajan, and the set never received a premium issue from that source. In the CD era, like a number of other recordings emanating from the former East Germany, it surfaced on Berlin Classics in 2005. It remains available in that form. Now out of copyright, it appears here in a re-mastered edition with a vastly improved cover design from the enterprising Brilliant Classics. It's presumably drawn from the original LP pressings - as might indeed be suggested by the editing on the final CD, to which issue I shall come later.
The reason for this comparative neglect might seem surprising for a set containing performances by such top-flight artists as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Fritz Wunderlich and Gottlob Frick. In fact the cause is not far to seek. It lies in the absolutely awful assumption of the role of Senta by Marianne Schech. In the early 1950s she had established a substantial career in the more lyrical Wagnerian roles in German opera houses, and also sang Strauss's Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier. By 1962 her voice was in dreadful condition, with a prominent wobble and generally unpleasant and matronly tone. She also recorded Venus in Tannhäuser under Konwitschny at around the same time, with no more happy results. When reviewing this release the Penguin Guide cruelly observed that she issued "noises more reminiscent of the Flying Scotsman than the Dutchman", and this cruel remark is unfortunately only too true. Nor is her tuning all that it should be; and her phrasing is bumpy, with hardly any legato tone to speak of. To tell the truth, she sounds like the Dutchman's mother.
Which is a great pity, because this set is otherwise very good indeed in a field which is not overburdened with good performances of Wagner's first mature opera. The First Act, featuring Fischer-Dieskau, Frick and Wunderlich, must still be counted among the best performances in the catalogue. Konwitschny was never among the greatest of Wagnerian conductors, but he had plenty of experience in the music. He had conducted The Ring at Covent Garden the year before this recording was made, where he gained a reputation as a drinker and was nicknamed "Konwhiskey" by the orchestra. He conjures up the right sense of excitement in the score even if he sometimes presses on too quickly, as at the end of the overture and the opera itself - given in Wagner's later revision. By and large his interpretation and pacing is fine, and the orchestra plays extremely well for him.
Fischer-Dieskau as the Dutchman is - well, Fischer-Dieskau. That is to say, he is immediately recognisable as being the singer he is, and no amount of dramatic interpretation on his part is going to turn him into the satanically driven wanderer rather than a thinking human being. Having said which, he is absolutely marvellous in the part. At nearly every turn, he adds something to the score by way of enlightenment about either words or music. Many baritones treat the central prayer in the Dutchman's opening monologue as a still point in a rampaging storm. Fischer-Dieskau turns it into the emotional centre of the scene, not just singing quietly but adding intensity to every phrase. There are those who will dislike this level of what they will call over-pointing of the words, but it brings even the most mundane passages - as in the long duet which closes the First Act - to three-dimensional life. The three Acts, incidentally, are run together in the modern fashion which was apparently Wagner's original intention. There is no hint here of the later Fischer-Dieskau habit of breaking into Sprechstimme at moments of stress. This is, throughout, a thoroughly sung interpretation, and it is really something very special.
Rudolf Schock was generally known during his career as an operetta singer, but he branched out into the German lyric-heroic repertoire and was a creditable Max in Der Freischütz and Walther in Die Meistersinger, both of which he recorded with success. He is not particularly dramatic here as Erik, but he sings with poise and sympathy and manages not to make his cavatina too saccharine. Fritz Wunderlich would have been wonderful to hear in the part, but here he is confined to the smaller role of the Steersman, and sings his little song most beautifully even if he doesn't sound in the least sleepy. Sieglinde Wagner - not so far as I know a relation of the composer - was a regular member of Wagnerian casts during the 1950s and delivers a solid account of Mary. Gottlob Frick is, as one would expect, a superb Daland; his saturnine tones never turn gritty, and his word-pointing in places is almost a match for Fischer-Dieskau. In many performances one finds oneself longing for the long duet between Daland and the Dutchman to end. It is one of Wagner's least inspired passages in the score; not here, where the two singers strike sparks off each other without in any way twisting the music to their own ends. If only the duet between the Dutchman and Senta was similarly pleasurable to hear.
The recording is in good solid 1960s stereo sound. The solo voices are placed quite far forward in the balance, but the orchestra remains well in the picture although the chorus are pushed rather into the background which does their firm and solid singing rather an injustice. There are some small attempts at stereo production. The Steersman is set somewhat back at the beginning, and the Dutchman and Daland are at opposite sides of the sound-stage during their duet. There are, possibly thankfully, no added sound effects such as those that disfigure the near-contemporary Dorati recording on Decca with its noises of the Dutchman's anchor clanking into what sounds like a bucket. On the other hand, the Dutchman's crew is very obviously placed firmly onstage - coming from the left-hand rather than right-hand speaker - and they don't sound in the slightest degree ghostly or supernatural. The gong-strokes in the orchestra at this point sound miserable too, like a badly amplified tea-tray.
I suppose one must expect that editorial decisions on the re-mastering of original LPs onto CD will be badly done nowadays, but one has again to complain - as so often before - about an unwanted interruption to the flow of the music in a Wagner opera. This time it comes just after the last call by the sailors and their girls to the Dutchman's crew to wake up. There we get a full bar of silence after the eerie chord which follows it - and where the score clearly indicates that the orchestra should immediately enter fp. This clearly corresponds to a break between sides on the old LPs, and it should have been eliminated. One gets fed up with making the suggestion that whoever does these re-masterings should have a copy of the score in front of them, but such recommendations clearly fall on deaf ears. All record companies seem to be quite happy to go on committing the same errors time after time when re-mastering their old recordings.
Having got that off my chest, one can commend this set to fans of Fischer-Dieskau, Frick or Wunderlich, all of whose contributions are worthy of hearing. Given its major problems this will not do as a version of The flying Dutchman for the library shelf. Indeed, most of the sets in the current catalogue which I have heard - I can't pretend to have heard all 54 of those currently listed - have quite major faults of one sort or another. It is no easier to cast early Wagner than it is his later masterworks. At the same time one does wish that conductors would respect the composer's wishes and employ the revisions he made to the score following its first performances. Of the more modern recordings, Sinopoli on DG has the most interesting and best suited cast of all modern versions, if you can tolerate the conductor's interventionist style and sometimes unconventional speeds. Otherwise Karajan on EMI, who takes a similarly weighty approach, has a generally good cast even if the dramatic involvement of a Fischer-Dieskau is missing from José van Dam's approach to the title role. Norman Bailey in the Solti set is better still, but the recorded sound is disappointingly unatmospheric and the surrounding cast is less than ideal. Oddly enough one of the best sung modern versions in the catalogue which I have heard is the Chandos release conducted by David Parry, which is given in English translation.
The booklet contains the essay by Werner Wolf and the lengthy citation from Heine that were apparently included in the earlier Berlin Classics release. The libretto is available online.

On a quiet residential street in an upscale west-side Vancouver neighbourhood, a van painted in blaring red and white colours sits parked with the back open. Inside, a man in coveralls works on a bicycle mounted on a stand.
The van's walls are lined with tools, bolts, screws and assorted paraphernalia used to fix and tune up bikes. Every inch of space is occupied.
Like big incongruous pieces in an intricate puzzle of tiny parts, there is an espresso coffee machine on one side, a flatscreen television mounted near the top and skylights in the ceiling as a crowning touch.
A new fixture on city streets, Velofix is a mobile bicycle repair shop, a bicycle mechanic's paradise on wheels that brings service to your doorstep rather than forcing you to go out and find it.
After rolling out just over a year ago in January of 2013, co-owners Boris Martin and Chris Guillemet say their mobile fix-it shop has been doing a booming business.
"Our first year revenue was about 70 per cent more than we had budgeted for," said Guillemet.
While we were talking, their customer, Michael Ainsworth, emerged from a nearby house, taking a break from running his own company, to check on the progress of his bike.
The reason he uses their services is simple. "I don't have to go anywhere."
Besides the convenience, "I've taken my bike to other shops around town. It's kind of hit and miss. You never know who is working on your bike."
The business has taken off so dramatically that Martin, Guillemet and a third partner, Davide Xausa, are about to add a second van in the Lower Mainland in addition to one in Victoria launched in February, with retired Olympian triathlete Simon Whitfield owning the franchise there. Velofix has also opened in Toronto and is launching in Calgary this month.
With a tag line of "save time, ride more," the business is a sign of our busy times.
"People are looking for something convenient," said Guillemet.
He and Xausa learned this first-hand. "Davide and I both have other businesses and kids and we just found it a challenge to get our bikes serviced."
Besides being spared trips to and from the bike shop, there is no downtime with your bike out of commission for days at the bike shop, an important consideration if you use it as a means of transport.
The partners say that everything you would find in a modern bicycle repair shop can be found in the van. They can service every kind of bike and can box bikes for going on the road.
With a basic tune-up starting at $69, their prices are in line with those charged by regular bike shops. They can afford to compete because they don't have the overhead of a bike shop.
Martin, who works as the mechanic in the Vancouver van, was the mastermind behind the van's layout design, which has been an exercise in seeking perfection. It copies patterns used by recreational vehicles and leisure water craft where life is compressed into a small space.
Fuelled by diesel, the interior of the Velofix van is powered by marine batteries that are removed after about 30 hours of run time and recharged. It's more eco-friendly and much quieter than generators, says Martin, preventing noise complaints from neighbours.
The company's initial challenge was exposure, but merely driving the van around town serves as a giant mobile billboard. They also offered free services at mega cycling events such as the GranFondo and Rides to Conquer Cancer and have done corporate days for companies such as Lululemon and HootSuite, which have a strong cycling culture.
There was initial skepticism that their van couldn't fully service bicycles, but Guillemet said this was overcome by proving they could get the job done.
The company tries to make its services as convenient as possible, creating an online booking system accessible from computers or hand-held devices.
It offers one-stop shopping, sometimes servicing bikes for the entire family, sometimes gaining access to a garage with a door-opening code and then charging on-site or emailing the bill, creating a paperless company. In keeping with modern times, the van is equipped with wireless Internet.
It has a commercial parking permit, which means it can park in back-alley loading and passenger zones.
The partners are aware that they are not the only mobile bike service company in town, although, being one of the newest, they are a sign of a growth industry.
It helps, too, that the three partners are athletes, cycling enthusiasts and come from a strong business pedigree.
Martin, who has nine years of bike shop mechanical and management experience, is a three-time Canadian track champion. One of his jerseys is framed on the wall of the van.
Xausa is an ex-professional soccer player, having played with the Whitecaps, on the Canadian national team and in Scotland. He went on to become president of a real estate investment trust and senior manager of a renewable energy company.
Guillemet's senior management experience includes growing a company to $90 million and a successful IPO, launching an Internet start-up that has raised $45 million, and financing and driving growth at a $30-billion consumer packaging food company.
He has competed in several Ironman triathlons and has run marathons, but at 42, he finds his body is starting to hurt more with high-impact exercise so he is increasingly switching to cycling. He loves the social aspect of it, heading out for two- or three-hour rides with friends.
"We all understand cycling and that is what has made it so fun for us," said Guillemet. "When you are talking about something you are passionate about, it doesn't feel like work."

A top adviser to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign denied the nation's income inequality gap in a Wall Street Journal editorial on Thursday, brushing off the growing concentration of wealth in the hands of the very wealthy by arguing that lower-income Americans are buying more consumer goods.
"Today we hear that the gains from economic growth accrue to the highest-income earners while the standard of living of the poor and middle America stagnates and the gap between the richest and the poorest grows ever wider," Kevin Hassett and Aparna Mathur argue. "That portrait of the country is wrong":
Yet the access of low-income Americans—those earning less than $20,000 in real 2009 dollars—to devices that are part of the "good life" has increased. The percentage of low-income households with a computer rose to 47.7% from 19.8% in 2001. The percentage of low-income homes with six or more rooms (excluding bathrooms) rose to 30% from 21.9% over the same period.But this argument, a favorite of conservative think tanks like the Heritage Foundation, is highly misleading. Appliances and commonly used consumer gadgets like cell phones are necessities in the 21st century and are significantly cheaper today than they were just decades earlier. In fact, were families to sell their appliances in order to help pay for food and other basic necessities, many would still struggle — for while prices on microwaves and air conditioners have fallen, "the real everyday basics such as quality child care and out-of-pocket medical costs" are "squeezing the budgets of the poor and middle-class alike."
Appliances? The percentage of low-income homes with air-conditioning equipment rose to 83.5% from 65.8%, with dishwashers to 30.8% from 17.6%, with a washing machine to 62.4% from 57.2%, and with a clothes dryer to 56.5% from 44.9%.
The percentage of low-income households with microwave ovens grew to 92.4% from 74.9% between 2001 and 2009. Fully 75.5% of low-income Americans now have a cell phone, and over a quarter of those have access to the Internet through their phones.
Hassett argues that safety net programs like "unemployment insurance, food stamps, Medicaid" help families afford basic needs, further shrinking the nation's income gap. But these programs are already failing to keep up with need and Romney and Ryan have proposed massive cuts to the safety net in order to pay down the deficit and finance a tax cut plan that is heavily skewed towards the rich.
Their approach would only exacerbate the differences between the rich and poor — a gap that has grown dramatically since the late 1970s. Indeed, compared to the 34 countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United States has a Gini coefficient — a number that measures the distribution of income on a scale of 0 (perfectly equal) to 1 (perfectly unequal) — of 0.47 and ranks near the very bottom in inequality. America also suffers from the absolute highest "percentage of national income that went to the top 1 percent" and "has seen income inequality increase at a much faster rate than most other countries."
This trend is already devastating the American democratic ideals of equal opportunity and upward mobility. Unfortunately, neither Romney nor his advisers can see the problem or offer the kind of tax and economic policies that will help solve it.

WKU graduate co-authors book on 'Spreadable Media'
- Author: Monday, January 28th, 2013
The days of turning on the evening news or opening the morning paper to catch up on local, national or world events are long gone. Now when news breaks, we turn to online media or social networks to "like," "share" or "tweet" the latest news.
The fundamental changes in the contemporary media environment are examined in a new book, Spreadable Media: Creating Value and Meaning in a Networked Culture.
Sam Ford, a 2005 WKU graduate, is one of three co-authors of the book about the role everyone plays today in circulating media content and what that means for audiences, media producers and marketers.
"A lot of people don't see themselves as providers of media, but they do circulate content," said Ford, an Ohio County native who lives in Bowling Green and is Director of Digital Strategy with Peppercomm. "The distribution of media content is not owned by companies now but by everyday people."
Spreadable Media, published by NYU Press, will be released on Feb. 15 but is available online at amazon.com.
Ford said he and co-authors Henry Jenkins and Joshua Green weren't trying to create a new buzzword with "spreadable" media, but "we wanted to take this beyond the metaphors we've been using like 'going viral'."
Sharing media content through social media and email has become so commonplace for most people that "we don't think it's special," he said.
"Content that we find interesting doesn't infect us like a virus, and leave us sharing it with others without our knowledge," he said. "Instead, the content spreads through the audience's conscious decision to share it."
For news media and marketing/public relations professionals, this shift in content sharing means that "the audience has a much more direct say in how things are distributed," Ford said.
The challenges aren't limited to media or the professionals, he added. "What is our responsibility as a circulator?" Ford asked.
The audience (or those of us who share content) must consider questions like: Is the source credible? What is our relationship to the content or to the person who shared it? What gives the content meaning? What if I find out the content I shared is incorrect?
"We all have a stake in this," Ford said.
Ford, an alumnus of the Honors College at WKU, graduated from WKU with four bachelor's degrees — news/editorial journalism, communication studies, mass communication and English (writing). He received his master's degree in 2007 from MIT. He is an affiliate with both the Program in Comparative Media Studies at MIT and the Popular Culture Studies Program at WKU.
He plans to use the book this semester in his Intro to Pop Culture Studies course at WKU. The 352-page book also is accompanied by 35 online essays, including one by WKU faculty member Ted Hovet.
Ford and his co-authors have been working on the project since late 2007. He worked with both Jenkins and Green as part of the Convergence Culture Consortium project at MIT. Jenkins is Provost's Professor of Communication, Journalism, Cinematic Arts, and Education at the University of Southern California. Green is Senior Strategist at digital consultancy Undercurrent.
As part of the book's launch, Ford and his co-authors will present a featured session March 8 during the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas.
Ford is co-editor of the 2011 book The Survival of Soap Opera: Transformations for a New Media Era with Abigail De Kosnik and C. Lee Harrington. He was named Social Media Innovator of the Year in the 2011 Bulldog Stars of PR Awards for Outstanding Achievement by Communications Agencies and Professionals.

Being as this is a class about blogging, we think you ought to do a little, well, blogging. (Those of you reading this who are not enrolled in the class, please jump in!) We'd like you to share some of your thoughts or concerns about setting up and using blogs either professionally or in the classroom.
Here are some questions to get you started thinking:
- What do you want to know about blogs?
- What do you already know about blogs?
- How do you think you can use blogs?
- How do you see others using blogs?
- What are you concerned about when it comes to blogs?
- What experiences (good or bad) have you already had with blogs?
- How important is digital literacy for our students?
- OR anything else you would like to blog about.
Come up with at least one idea for using or creating a blog - it doesn't even have to be "school" related, and post a comment at the bottom of this post. Share any other thoughts you might have. If you can't think of something to "DO" with a blog, then share something you have learned about blogs or blogging.
Post your thoughts as a "comment" by clicking on the "comments" hyperlink at the bottom of this post. You can contribute as "other." Be sure to include your name somewhere. Read others' comments and feel free to comment on their comments.

This kind of care includes at-home disease monitoring, injury therapy, nutrition therapy, injections, outpatient recovery assistance, and other health services. Skilled care administered in the home is typically less expensive and more convenient than care given at a hospital or other inpatient facility. Many caregivers have home health care experience and have served as a coordinator to manage the patient care team and treatment plan.

Have not posted in forever--been busy, and I always feel weird posting when so many people I don't know personally are visiting the blog to read Kurt's posts about the trial. But, whatevs. This was initially MY blog and was taken over by Kurt, so people can just skip over this, ;).
Trying to think of anything relevant that has happened recently to blog about since my last post, which was San Fran related......
Went to Manistee to a wedding in late September, one of my sister's best friend's, Tara, from high school got married. I left work early, around noon, and headed to Manistee. Got stuck in stopped traffic on the Zilwaukee bridge for an hour, which sucked, but got to Manistee around dinner time. Got there and was greeted by baby Nick, who RAN out the door to greet me and hugged me! He kept saying "Hi Aunt Lordie!" Too cute. Quite the difference from the super shy little boy I got to hang with last trip! :). Was so happy to see him. My sister had a rehearsel dinner to get to, so Nick, my Mom and I headed to Ludington to have dinner at a Mexican restaurant and stops at Meijer and Maurices. Ended up buying a cute new pair of jeans at Maurices, and after coupons and sales, I paid a grand total of $11.00. Score. Next morning, headed out for a 5 mile run. LOVE that Manistee has sidewalks (which are lacking in Newport). Did a tiny bit of shopping with my Mom, then headed to the wedding. It was gorgeous and took place in the Ramsdell Theatre, which is a historic theatre in Manistee (i was actually in some plays during junior high and high school while living there). Reception was in the ballroom at the theatre and super fun as well. Nick danced with us the entire night, which was super cute. We left kinda early to get Nick home to bed, and stopped and picked up my fav food in the world, Big Al's breadsticks, on my way home. To die for. I forget all about counting calories when those breadsticks are in the room.......I only get them once or twice a year, so whatever. Sunday, took another run, then stopped at some stores and at a coffee shop with my Mom. Left around 2 to come home. Way too quick of a trip. Wanted to see some other people while there, but there was just not time. Need to plan another trip soon.
Tigers are in the playoffs! Whoot! Kurt and I went to both home games. The first we took the office and their significant others and my Dad, and the second, was just us. Had a blast at game one. Awesome. Game two, not as fun, horrible loss. Have tickets to two games this week, and will get them to game three if it goes that far. Who knows. Was so psyched to eliminate the Yankees, who I hate, and was happy to see the Phillies eliminated since they are so talented. Was thinking about going to Monday night football, but decided no as tickets are crazy expensive, and with the Tigers game, I dont want to put too much on my calendar.
Did one run last weekend called the Red October Run in Wayne, MI. I was set to run my first 10K, but ended up doing a 5K since I had a really bad cold and did not want to overdo it. Boo. My goal was simply to get through the race since I could barely breathe, and I did. I really liked the course. There were a TON of people too, I did not even come close to placing. Which I was OK with since I was sick and it was kinda cold out. So, I got to come straight home and rest up for the work week.
Also, went to Lions opening day! Have not been to a Lions game in forever (since we stopped our season tickets many years back). Had awesome seats on the 45 yard line behind the visitors side, row 4 first level. Seats were amazing. Game was incredible. I don't remember being at a better game ever for the Lions. It was crazy and almost unreal........Loved every second. Except for the reallllllly long lines and security to get in. How obnoxious. They had separate lines for men and women, so Kurt and I totally got separated and ended up just meeting at our seats.
Was so happy for some nice weather this weekend! Went running outside both Friday and Saturday, Saturday at the park since it was still light out when I went. I am still really leery running outside on the street. Every car that goes by, I flinch. Wish I could get over this fear. I still have not taken a bike ride since the accident, but I might try that tomorrow. Am slightly terrified though. Boo.
Anyway, Tigers game coming out of rain delay, so I gotta watch......Night!

MagicalPanda necesitaba un nuevo diseño de botón o icono y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 4 diseños de 1 diseñadores freelance.
Magical Panda Software
I'm an iPhone, iPad and Mac application developer. I write mac apps that are productive, yet useful, intuitive for the target audience and easy to use. I tend to follow general design conventions in my apps, unless the convention doesn't work in a specific instance. I believe that design is more than just a layer of polish on top, it's woven deep within applications, and comes across from start to finish.
The company name, Magical Panda, was inspired by the film Kung Fu Panda. It's that sort of lighthearted nature that I choose to promote.
The application for which this icon is for is targeted a Mac developers. The name, Template of Doom, is a play on "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom". Most developers will get the joke. The audience is used to seeing the icons that come with Mac developer tools like Xcode, Interface Builder and Instruments. Developers are a technical bunch (of course) and usually overlook design, however mac developers generally have an eye for design (even if they can't do it themselves) and know what fits into the ecosystem of Mac app icons.
The application is a template editor for developers.
As mentioned, the name of the app is a play on the movie title "The Temple of Doom".
- Must incorporate the idea of a temple. I am currently leaning towards Mayan or Aztec influenced designs, but I'm open to alternatives.
- Must either be vector format, or include all these sizes: 512x512, 256x256, 128x128, 64x64, 48x48, 32x32, 16x16 in PNG or TIFF
Nice to have:
- Incorporate the idea of a document, such as a text file, in the logo.
- Blends in well with the current set of Mac Developer tool icons:
Feel free to experiment with colors, and temples.

There are so many "rules" you're supposed to follow when you start dating someone. Some people even swear by these outdated rules, which makes me sad in the pants because really, we're not in the 1960s any longer. And those rules are mostly a crock of crap.
Without further ado, I will present these outdated relationship rules, debunk them, and offer some much better, newer, more applicable alternatives.
Outdated Rule 1: The man always pays when you go out.
Revised Rule: Make a play for the check once it comes because it will make you look super-powerful and completely independent.
Outdated Rule 2: Men open doors for ladies.
Revised Rule 2: Make getting the door a game - whoever gets it first is the winner and clearly stronger (not to mention better-looking).
Outdated Rule 3: The guy needs to call first.
Revised Rule 3: Without stalking him and calling him 87,264 times and hanging up when he answers, there's NO REASON you can't call a guy you've just met to say "hi."
Outdated Rule 4: Playing hard-to-get is sexy.
Revised Rule 4: Playing hard-to-get is bitchy. Dudes don't dig bitchy chicks. Doesn't mean you need to stalk the guy, but you can be clear about what you want and don't want in a relationship.
Outdated Rule 5: When you're dating someone serious, you have to be joined at the hip.
Revised Rule 5: You're not conjoined twins - keep your time together special and don't let that impact the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might have to have that surgery to be removed from each other and NO ONE wants that.
Outdated Rule 6: Neither of you had much of a romantic past before you got together and it was deliberate -- you both were "saving yourselves."
Revised Rule 6: There's no reason to pretend you live in a Disney movie and had been waiting for your knight in shining armor. Wake up, Princess, and smell the 21st century!
Outdated Rule 7: You can't do the deed until you've been on at least 37 dates.
Revised Rule 7: As long as you're safe about the sex you're having and you feel comfortable when you decide to go for it, why wait? Sex is a normal, healthy thing to do, and while you don't have to be slutty, it's healthy to want to have sex with someone you like.
Outdated Rule 8: Date night is on Saturday. End of story.
Revised Rule 8: Saturday is Saturday and spend it as you please - with or without your partner. I suggest Monster Truck Rallies, but those tend to be on Sunday, if my television isn't lying.
Outdated Rule 9: Don't move in together before you're engaged.
Revised Rule 9: Don't move in together before you're READY to move in together. It's a big step. And if you want to waltz down the aisle with this guy, it's probably a safer bet to do so AFTER you know if you're good at being roommates.
Outdated Rule 10: Marriage is the end-all-be-all, so that should be your ultimate goal.
Revised Rule 10: While marriage can be a wonderful union, it's not necessary for survival. You can be domestic partners for as long as you so desire. Don't let ANYONE talk you into marriage before you're ready.
What are some other outdated relationship rules we need to revise?

Fuel Efficiency Standards for New Trucks—Can't We Decide These for Ourselves?
Rather than wait on the market to demand more fuel efficient trucks, President Obama, bypassing Congress, has directed the Environmental Protection Agency to draw up a new round of regulations raising the fuel efficiency standards on heavy‐duty trucks. He promises that this will save billions of dollars in fuel costs, lower prices and reduce greenhouse gas emissions—or, as he describes it, a "win‐win‐win" situation.
Thank you, Mr. President for taking such good care of us.
Apparently, we are too stupid to have realized the manifold benefits of this chain of events ourselves.
Or is it that we realize these actions will have no impact of climate change and will probably result in higher prices for new trucks and everything that they transport?
You can use our "Handy‐Dandy Temperature Change Calculator" to see that, using the EPA's own computer model, if Americans cut all of our carbon dioxide emissions to zero, today, the amount of warming that would be prevented (assuming a warming forecast that is itself probably too high) by 2100 is around two‐tenths of a degree—an amount that would be virtually impossible to measure against natural climate variability. Increasing the fuel efficiency of heavy trucks would have considerably less of an effect than cutting all carbon dioxide emissions and would simply not be discernible in climate data.
And the President's claim that increasing the fuel efficiency will lower the price of all things neglects the fact that we simply do not know what technology would accomplish this end.
Perhaps he should have said—"if you like your truck, you can keep your truck," that is, until you have to replace it with something that will cost much more than you would have otherwise purchased and not do what it is supposed to do.
Again, thank you, Mr. President.

NEW YORK — While some fashion designers have always been overtly political, the recently wrapped New York Fashion Week just a month after President Donald Trump's inauguration included a broader range of brands addressing these tumultuous times.
On Friday, the day after shows concluded, W magazine took on one element, Trump's position on immigration, in a video featuring designers, models, photographers and industry activists and insiders who are, themselves, immigrants.
The video, shot in a studio over six hours during the frenzy of fashion week, has them looking directly into the camera and saying "I Am an Immigrant," with each uttering part of that declaration in a show of unity. The video is accompanied on Wmagazine.com by an editorial written by Katherine Cusumano and the effort is part of a series of web content covering the intersection of fashion and politics.
The magazine's editor, Stefano Tonchi, said in an interview Thursday ahead of the video's release that the "I Am an Immigrant" video, running about a minute, is intended as a "united and defiant" statement against Trump's travel ban and other immigration policies from inside the fashion industry.
Participants include designer Diane von Furstenberg, models Doutzen Kroes and Winnie Harlow, photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Mario Sorrenti, and fashion activist Bethann Hardison.
"Fashion designers and models have every responsibility, now more than ever, because young people through social media are really influenced by their opinions," said Tonchi, who arrived in the United States from Florence, Italy, 25 years ago and became an American citizen five years ago.
"Fashion has not been taking enough responsibility, and they can do much more," said Tonchi, who also appears in the video. "Fashion is always a mirror of society."
This fashion week was heavier than usual on politics and social issues, on and off runways.
Jonathan Simkhai handed out "Feminist AF" T-shirts to his front-row guests. Prabal Gurung walked models for his finale in T-shirts emblazoned with "Yes, We Should All Be Feminists" and "The Future is Female." Christian Siriano included a shirt on one model with the words: "People are People."
There were white bandannas worn by designers and models walking shows signifying unity, and pink buttons passed out declaring that "Fashion Stands with Planned Parenthood." Public School designers Maxwell Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne riffed on Trump's red campaign caps reading "Make America Great Again" with their own version: "Make America New York."
"Then you get to Raf Simons and he's just celebrating being a foreigner in America. That was the most important show of the season, and he just celebrated America," said W's creative and fashion director, Edward Enninful, of Simons' debut at Calvin Klein.
Enninful was born in Ghana and raised in the United Kingdom. He, too, appears in the video.
"Designers are expressing empathy, joy, everybody is treating the current political climate in their own way," Enninful said. "There's not one way to respond to today. There's not one way you can celebrate or you can protest."
