"I asked him whether he'd seen a certain article, and he said: 'No, send it my way. I'm looking for something to read right now,' " said a close friend who asked not to be identified discussing Mr. Petraeus's private life. "He kept such a grueling schedule. This is unchartered territory for him right now."
Another friend, who also asked not to be named, had similar thoughts. "Several of us are concerned," the friend said. "He's a very active individual. He needs to stay active."
Mr. Petraeus's friends say his first priority is to make things right with Holly Petraeus, his wife of 38 years, and their two grown children, but Mrs. Petraeus has not been keeping her husband company at home during the day. A spokeswoman for the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, where she works, said on Wednesday that Mrs. Petraeus has been at the office every day since the scandal broke…
"The way he describes it, he said, 'You know, I wasn't sure right away that she was writing a biography; I thought it was a book on Afghanistan,' " said one of the friends, referring to Ms. Broadwell's decision to turn her unfinished dissertation into a book on Mr. Petraeus. The friend did not explain how Mr. Petraeus could have had such a view. "It sort of developed over time, and he realized belatedly that it was about him."

OTTAWA — Public concern appears to be mounting over a Canada-China investment agreement that was quietly signed in September and, despite almost no discussion in Parliament, could take effect as early as next Thursday.
The critics include MPs speaking out this week in the House of Commons and ordinary citizens flooding their MPs' offices with many thousands of email messages.
The controversy comes as polls show growing concern about Chinese investment in Canada. One poll, a Nanos Research survey this week, found Canadians consider China this country's greatest national security threat, even higher than Iran. And concern in B.C. about China was even higher, where 24 per cent of respondents named China as the top threat compared to 17 per cent named Iran.
Opponents of the Canada-China investment deal warn that Canadian taxpayers could be exposed to billions of dollars in potential damages if Chinese firms claim they were wronged by government actions in Canada.
The most provocative charge is that Chinese companies invested heavily in Enbridge Inc.'s proposed $6.5 billion Northern Gateway pipeline project could receive a huge payoff if the B.C. government blocked the megaproject.
The B.C. government was urged this week by a Toronto law professor to seek a court injunction preventing ratification of the investment deal, which would protect Chinese investors in Canada and Canadian investors in China for a minimum 15 years.
"The B.C. government must take legal action if it is to defend its constitutional position from potential irreparable harm due to the ratification of the Canada-China treaty," Osgoode Hall Professor Gus Van Harten wrote in a letter to Premier Christy Clark. "If ratified, the treaty will change fundamentally the position of provincial legislative, executive and judicial powers in relation to any Chinese-owned asset in the country."
The federal government argues the concern is overblown. The deal will enhance protection for Canadian investors in China and, in the words of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, "create jobs and economic growth in Canada."
There are also complaints that Parliament is not getting enough time to debate the treaty, which will be locked in for a minimum 15 years once enacted, sometime after Nov. 1.
The truth, as usual, is somewhere between those two positions.
On the economic front, Harper's promise of jobs and growth isn't backed up by his government's preliminary analysis, which says the economic effects in Canada will likely be "minimal."
That same analysis, however, supports the argument of the government and some trade experts that the deal won't have much effect for Canada and, because Chinese officials will still be able to make life difficult for investors there, only of modest benefit to Canadian firms.
Federal officials note Canada has a relatively open regime that treats foreigners the same as Canadian investors. China has a famously complex and corruption-prone system that is an enormous challenge for Canadian firms.
"Canada has had a situation with the People's Republic of China for some years where its investment has been virtually unrestricted here, but we have had more difficulty with our investment there," Harper told the House of Commons this week in defending the treaty.
Senior Canadian officials told the House of Commons trade committee this month that foreign investment promotion and protection agreements — better known as FIPAs — are designed to favour developed countries seeking better access to countries with systems "less developed or (which) may be subject to political influence."
"All we're really doing is undertaking a legal obligation to do what we're already doing," said Ian Burney, the assistant deputy minister for trade policy.
The treaty's imbalance in Canada's favour is one reason why business groups — including the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, the Vancouver-based Asia-Pacific Foundation of Canada, and the Canada-China Business Council — have endorsed it.
The Canada-China FIPA is aimed at protecting investors from expropriation and other costly state interventions. It is one of more than 200 struck by various nations around the world and Canada's 24th such bilateral deal.
The China agreement is more limited in scope compared to other FIPAs in that it applies only to companies after the investment has been made. Thus the foreign investment review processes of both countries – including Canada's current review of the proposed $15.1 billion Nexxen takeover by the state-owned China National Offshore Oil Co. — will not be changed.
"In other words, if the Chinese screw you when you're trying to set up a company you can't invoke the treaty. Once you set up you can invoke the treaty," according to trade lawyer Milos Barutciski.
The deal prohibits signatories from expropriating or nationalizing foreign assets "except for a public purpose, under domestic due procedures of law (and) in a non-discriminatory manner." Fair compensation is also required.
The deal also give "national treatment" — meaning governments are not allowed to not discriminate against foreigners by treating them differently from domestic firms.
And it gives Canada and China "most favoured nation" status, meaning that neither can sign a sweetheart investment deal with a third country without offering the same benefits within the Canada-China deal.
The agreement also prevents governments from requiring that foreign firms appoint executives "of any particular nationality," though it does allow the host country to impose residency or citizenship requirements for board members – as long as those rules don't impair the investor's ability to exercise control over his or her investment.
The most controversial feature, and by far the most useful for foreign investors, is a provision allowing investors to seek arbitration if they feel their rights are violated. An arbitration panel would be made up of one expert from the investing country, one from the host country, and a third chosen by the first two arbiters from a country that has diplomatic relations with both countries.
The third person would typically come from the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes, an offshoot of the World Bank in Washington D.C., according to Barutciski.
A majority in the three-member panel can assess damages if they deem the complainant's rights have been violated. The national government is responsible for covering the costs of those penalties, Barutciski said.
The award must be made public, as long as "confidential information" is not released, but the hearings can be held in private.
Burney told MPs this month that Chinese claims against Canada will be "fully transparent," but he said China would have never agreed to a deal without having the option to have hearings conducted by Canadian companies against it take place behind closed doors.
The agreement excludes sensitive sectors such as culture and military equipment. Environmental and health measures are also exempt as long as there's no evidence they're disguised attempts to discriminate against foreign firms.
Both Barutciski and Michael Hart, founder of Carleton University's Centre for Trade Policy and Law, said Canada is a winner in a deal that won't have a dramatic overall impact.
"Most criticisms of FIPAs is that they don't really do much. They're relatively innocuous agreements," Hart said.
The Canada-China FIPA, described by Green Party leader Elizabeth May as Canada's biggest deal since the North American Free Trade Agreement, is in fact "not a big deal. It's a moderate deal," Hart said.
While Van Harten argues the Chinese could launch a potentially costly claim if the Northern Gateway project doesn't proceed, Hart and Barutciski say that is unlikely.
Governments are allowed under the agreement to protect the environment and all Northern Gateway investors knew – or should have known – that the project faced numerous roadblocks due to public and first nations' concerns, Barutciski said.
Pitman Potter, chairman of the Institute of Asian Research at the University of B.C.'s law faculty, said the deal brings "important" benefits to Canadian firms in China but "does not appear" to increase Canada's obligations beyond what is already provided under international trade law, including World Trade Organization provisions.
"Nonetheless, I should think a robust public process of consultation and debate would be useful," he said of ratifying the deal.
The lack of public debate and consultation was a burning issue in the House of Commons this week as MPs complained that the public concern about the treaty isn't being matched by MP scrutiny.
NDP MP Don Davies and Green leader Elizabeth May said roughly 60,000 emails have been sent to each of their offices complaining about the deal.
Trade Minister Ed Fast, MP for Abbotsford, dismissed the complaints, noting the NDP and Liberals passed up on four opportunities this autumn to discuss and vote on the matter when those parties had the opportunity under parliamentary rules to choose the subject for debate.
"They failed to identify this treaty of being worthy of debate," Fast said.

In his first fight since his release from the organization, former UFC title challenger Gabriel Gonzaga (11-6) meets Bellator veteran Josh Burns (5-2) in June.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the matchup with event sources.
Gonzaga and Burns meet June 25 at MMA Explosions' "MMAX: Heavyweight Xplosion" event.
The event is expected to take place at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Gonzaga, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, opened his career with an 8-1 mark (4-0 in the UFC), which earned him a UFC title shot with then-heavyweight champion Randy Couture in 2007 and a top-10 standing in the world MMA heavyweight rankings. But the eventual TKO loss began a 3-5 skid that concluded with back-to-back losses to Junior Dos Santos and Brendan Schaub and his eventual 2010 release from the organization.
Gonzaga initially said he would concentrate solely on jiu-jitsu competitions before deciding to return to MMA.
He now meets Burns, who fought most recently in a Bellator 40 loss to Eric Prindle. He currently fights out of Las Vegas.
(Pictured: Gabriel Gonzaga)
(UPDATED on 5/2/11 at 5:50 p.m. ET. Gonzaga's opponent was originally reported as Bellator veteran Josh Barnes.)

Redonkulous by Anthony Lindan - DVD
|"Every single time I have a chance to perform stand-up magic I present "REDONKULOUS!". Audiences have responded to "REDONKULOUS!" as THE strongest piece of magic that I've ever performed. It is the show stopping effect that everyone talks about after my show. I'm truly excited to share this dynamic piece of mystery with magic community."
Anthony Lindan
The "REDONKULOUS!" Routine
Before the show begins a spectator is asked to merely think of any word from either side of a large broadsheet from the local daily newspaper. She has a free choice of literally hundreds or possibly thousands of words. After mentally selecting a word the performer seals the newspaper in an envelope and the spectator takes it with her back to her seat. During the show the performer asks for the envelope from the spectator tears it open and removes the newspaper. The performer explains that the spectator is concentrating on a word from somewhere on the paper and it will be the audience's job to find that very word. As impossible as it may seem. Tearing the newspaper into two pieces the performer asks a random audience member to choose either half to discard. The choice is made and the performer tears the remaining piece in half and asks another audience member to select a half to discard. The selection is made and the performer again tears the remaining piece in half asking an audience member to select either half to toss away, yet again. Left with a piece about four inches square the performer calls on a final helper from the audience to join him on stage. This spectator is asked to close his eyes and raise a finger and to drop it somewhere on the piece of paper. The spectator does this and is asked to open his eyes and without saying a thing to remember the word that he pointed to. The spectator is then handed a white board and marking pen, and asked to write the word in big bold letters on the board and keep it concealed from the audience's view. While he is doing this the performer engages the original spectator thinking of a word and asks her to stand and for the first time call out her mentally thought of word in a loud voice. She states her word is, for example, "Flytrap!" The performer asks the spectator with the white board to turn the board around and show everyone the word he pointed to...it is also "Flytrap!"

The Ministry of Information, Cultural Affairs and Tourism (MICAT) was created by an Act of the National Legislature in 1965 with the statutory responsibility to develop and disseminate factual information about the Government of Liberia both at home and abroad. In addition to information dissemination, MICAT promotes Cultural and Tourism activities through institutions such as the National Museum, which is the custodian of Historical Artifacts, as well as Cultural Villages and the historic Providence Island.
The ministry articulates Government programs and policies to the general public through the following outlets:
- The MICAT Regular Thursday Press Briefings
- MICAT Outreach Program dubbed " Taking Government to the people"
- The New Liberia Newspaper
- MICAT Website www.micatliberia.com or www.micat.gov.lr
- The Broadcasting, Television and Graphic Arts Departments
- The Liberia News Agency (LINA)
1. The MICAT Regular Thursday Press Briefings
The MICAT Regular Thursday Press Briefing is one of the most popular means through which information on Government programs and policies is disseminated to the general public through live radio broadcast, prerecorded audio-visual and television coverage, daily and weekly newspaper publications, as well as the
Internet and other social media portals.
2. MICAT Outreach Program dubbed "Taking Government to the people"
The MICAT Outreach Program serves as one of the most effective outlets through which the general public and
government functionaries often engage one another in frank interactive discussions on government programs
and policies at university campuses, various Aytaye shops and town hall meetings across the country.
3. New Liberia Newspaper
The New Liberia Newspaper is the government-owned newspaper used to collect and disseminate information
on developmental projects and programs, as well as enlighten the general public on how government programs
and policies are implemented. Produced three times weekly, the New Liberia Newspaper is circulated at various
government ministries and agencies, and is sold for 25 Liberian Dollars.
4. MICAT Websites
The MICAT website (www.micatliberia.com) is a worldwide portal that provides the general public as well as non-residents regular access to information on government programs and policies. The website is regularly updated with press briefings and press releases, as well as other important information such as tenders, bids and
employment opportunities, among others.
5. The Broadcasting, Television and Graphic Arts Departments
The audio-visual arm of MICAT contains a Radio and Television Broadcast Unit that is involved with the gathering and production of news and content from various news sources through excerpts, actualities or clips from MICAT's weekly press briefings, review of the New Liberia Newspaper, development from line Ministries and Agencies, major activities of UNMIL, rural activities and community news, as well as policies
and pronouncements of the government through English and vernacular language reporters and announcers. In addition, MICAT utilizes its Graphics Arts Section to graphically propagate Government programs and policies through billboards, signage and other visual arts montages across the country.
6. Liberia News Agency (LINA)
The Liberia News Agency (LINA) is another department of MICAT that is used to collect, package and propagate information on government programs and policies. The department has offices in the 6 counties through which information is disseminated to citizens in rural Liberia.

Well, it's been a little over a week now, and the verdict on the router-reset issue is:
Linksys Wins!
Since switching to the Linksys, I've had zero router resets and my Internet connection has been rock-solid. My Mozy online backup has been able to run each night without interruption, and during the day my work (which often involves some IP-based telephony) has been fine as well (nothing more irritating than making an IP-phone call and having your router reset!!).
I still don't know what was causing the Netgear router to reset frequently – but at this point, I really don't care. I don't know what I'm going to do with the Netgear router, either – I'd sell it or give it away, but knowing that it has this problem makes me feel guilty. So I guess… into the great bit-bucket in the sky it must go.
I'll be sad to see the Netgear go – I always had a soft spot for Netgear in the past. Their products retained that "metal enclosure" look long after Linksys and others had jumped on the "plastic" shell bandwagon back when home networking became "popular." And those metal-shelled products were easy to rack mount, with the right brackets, which was always nice.
But now, all home networking products are plastic-shelled, and some (it would seem) are no longer as high-quality as they once were.
As for me – I'm just glad my 'net connection is reliable again. Internet, ahoy!

mc paul barman does palindromes here and there. an example would be his song Bleeding Brain Grow", in which he lists some rappers:
"Eve, Mika, RZA, Evil JD, Nasir is Osiris, and J-live, AZ, Rakim Cormega, Cage, Mr. OC."
but it's weird because when you read it backwards it still has all the names but not in the same order:
COrMega, Cage, mr oC, mika, RZA, evil Jd, nasir is Osiris, aND J livE, AZ, RakiM, evE
so is it still a palindrome? he does have some lines where it's exactly the same when you read it backwards

Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
16 to 20 oz fresh ravioli
for the breading:
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon oregano

14 oz canned diced tomato
1 clove garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chervil
1 teaspoon oregano
In a shallow bowl mix together the bread crumbs, oregano and chervil. Beat the egg yolk and water together in a small bowl. Dip each ravioli in the egg then toss it in the bread crumbs. Set aside.
In skillet, heat 1/2 inch oil.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the olive oil and then saute the shallot and garlic until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and spices. Simmer until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally. Fry the ravioli in batches, flipping once, until golden.

The RCMP has delivered a report on its Bountiful investigation to an independent special prosecutor, who will now decide whether criminal charges should be laid.
Peter Wilson will review the allegations that underage girls were transported between the community of Bountiful — in the Creston Valley of southeastern B.C. — and the United States, and other serious criminal offences, including child sexual exploitation, sexual assault and procurement.
Wilson was appointed special prosecutor in January 2012 after senior Vancouver lawyer Richard Peck resigned from the post.
Crown spokesman Neil Mackenzie said Wilson will consider whether to prosecute individuals associated with Bountiful from the early 1980s to the present. He's expected to spend several months reviewing the report before making a decision.
No details of the report have been released to the public.
Sgt. Terry Jacklin, head of the Bountiful investigation in Kelowna, said Wednesday he would not comment on the ongoing investigation or the report.
B.C. children's watchdog Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, an outspoken critic of Bountiful, said she's not privy to the contents of the report but is confident charges will be laid.
"I am hoping that an informed decision will be made promptly," she said. "This is a matter that has been held up for many, many years."
She said she was particularly concerned about allegations that polygamy leader Warren Jeffs is making phone calls from prison, where he is serving time for having sex with minors and arranging the marriages of prepubescent girls in B.C.
"A lot of time passes between these legal fence posts and the children are still there (in Bountiful). We can't forget that," said Turpel-Lafond. "The information that we have is that there are extremely disturbing things going on there."
The first police investigation of Bountiful began in the late 1990s. RCMP recommended criminal charges but they were never laid because the criminal justice branch had reports from legal experts suggesting the polygamy law was unconstitutional on the basis of religious freedom.
A second investigation was launched in 2004 following reports in The Vancouver Sun about child brides. When Peck did not recommend charges be laid, then attorney-general Wally Oppal hired another special prosecutor who did recommend charges against Winston Blackmore and James Oler. Those charges were later stayed when a B.C. Supreme Court judge decided that the second prosecutor had been improperly hired.
In November 2011, the B.C. Supreme Court upheld Canada's polygamy law, which makes multiple marriages illegal. In his landmark ruling, Chief Justice Robert Bauman found that while the law "minimally impairs" the constitutional right of religious freedom, it is justified by the harms polygamy causes to women, children and society.
The RCMP launched its third probe after Wilson was appointed in January 2012. That investigation followed The Vancouver Sun reporting in early 2011 based on documents in a Texas trial that eight girls — some as young as 12 — were taken to the U.S. to marry older men. Those documents were subsequently filed by the attorney-general's ministry in the constitutional reference case.
Among the evidence was a 2008 fax to the Ministry of Children and Family Development from a child protective services supervisor in Texas outlining how a 13-year-old girl from Bountiful had been taken illegally to the United States by her parents and married to Warren Jeffs, the prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a breakaway sect that's unrelated to the mainstream Mormon church.
The fax was sent five months after Texas authorities had raided the FLDS's Yearning for Zion ranch and taken into care close to 400 women and children. The B.C. Supreme Court also received Jeffs's diaries, which included his directions to Bountiful parents about how to bring their under-aged daughters to the United States so that they could be 'married' in a religious ceremony to men, some of whom were as old or older than their fathers.
About 800 to 1,000 people live in Bountiful. About half are members of the FLDS; the rest follow Blackmore.

my blood is still boiling... my heart is still racing
I was rolling down Columbia Road through Adams Morgan passing Atomic Billiards when a car behind me leaned on their horn and passed me obnoxiously fast and obnoxiously close
the driver was going so fast that there was no time for me react
the driver was going so fast that there was no time for her to stop at the Stop Sign 20 yards ahead
there would have been no time for her to react had a pedestrian stepped off the curb
luckily she was able to stop in the line of traffic that was 20 yards past the stop sign
with her stuck in the queue just ahead I knew i had a chance for a rebuttal
I had flipped her off when she passed me... she flipped me off when I approached her
there she was in her car stuck behind a line of cars at a red light... which waited for the green light only to move forward to get stuck and held behind the line of cars waiting at the next light
good thing she showed her Lexus goes 0-60 in seconds flat!
after we exchanged one finger salutes the driver of this car mouth something about me having to be over to the side or our of her way
she was not bold enough to roll down her window so her message was not entirely clear... she was bold enough to sit in her metal cage waving her finger at me as she made a phone call
maybe calling the police
maybe calling her anger management support group
I hoped that she called the police... because that was something I had considered doing
this did not go well... it did not go as planned
it is hard for a person to turn the other cheek when that cheek nearly got run over seconds earlier
flipping her off the pointing the camera in her face may not be the way to turn her around to appropriate behavior
but... more than likely I am not going to get her to conform to civil behavior
for some reason this woman feels a greater entitlement to the the road than those around her
my heart rate still has not dropped
she is a menace to the roads
she is a danger to herself and others
her actions behind the wheel would qualify as reckless driving
if a police officer had seen this... he would have clearly thrown the book at me
as the car culture does not see things as the cyclist sees them
while in actuality she should have her license revoked
in fact.. three violations at one time equal enough points to take someone's license
SPEEDING! (maybe doubling the residential speed limit)
there has to be another law broken there
again... Submissive Cycling enables Aggressive Driving
yes... I could have handled my side of this encounter better
but it is tough to be rational when you have just had your life threatened
it is tough to give others respect when they are showing no respect towards you
it is a crappy way to start the day... I wonder how she tells the story at the water cooler?
I bet she is going to the once bicycle commuter in her office and giving them a piece of her mind
tonight I will check out the images of her... and maybe post some more words
I may even run her tags
in the past I spoke with Police on this matter... I may even send her vehicle and tag information to the DC Police... let her get a warning... she needs to realize that her aggressive driving style could result in DEATH
the word accident would not apply
her reckless behavior is far from justifiable
she is a terrorist!
terrorizing the streets of our city
not just threatening my life... but a threat to any and all that encounter her
where she ran this stop sign is right in front of a toddler park/rec center
I would not have liked to see what would have happened if there had been a few strollers rolling into the cross walk as she blazed through that stop sign at 45-50 MPH

this is my world on a fairly regular basis over here in western pa! normally once i start getting yelled at, i'm the first one to suggest calling the police over in a situation where my right of way was not being yielded to. 99% of the time after i call them on it like this, they'll just drive off, but i usually get a pic of the plate and refer it over to the police just so there is a record of it for future issues involving that particular driver. it still gets irritating though.

Sorry that your day had to start out so crummy. I hope the rest of the day goes better.
I think I too would have reacted in the same way. And no, law enforcement doesn't care.

I had a very similar encounter recently. A car buzzed by me at about 40 mph about 2 inches from my handlebars. I am still shocked by it. When I came up to the car, the passenger leaned out and started hurling every kind of insult she could at me -- and the driver filled up a water bottle with wine (no lie!) at 9 in the morning. I am really still puzzled by the anger. The only thing I could think is that they didnt realize they could have killed me.

It sounds like you pointed the camera at her -- did you get a pic? Sounds like she was worse your average driver in DC. Perhaps a little blog-shame would be more satisfying than flipping the bird. I suspect that, as in so many situations, the finger-flipping just gives the recipient the opportunity to feel wronged and indignant -- thus ignoring the fact that he/she just did something wrong. I don't feel good about yelling at drivers who just did incredibly dangerous things, even if they deserve it. Most of the time, they have no clue what they've done, and yelling at them just seems to give them an excuse for feeling indignant instead of apologetic.
And I worry that some folks may be gettign the wrong message from the yelling. Leaving Ft. Reno last night, a couple kids on dirt bikes were zipping through red lights right in front of moving cars, whose drivers - understandably -honked at them. The biker kids' response was to yell fuck off and flip the bird. Not a good sign -- I worry those drivers aren't going to be too charitable to the next bikers they see -- which could be me.
So, I'm not going to stop calling out drivers who drive like idiots, but I'm going to try to remember to slow down and say "thanks" the next time someone goes out of their way to do the right thing.
- 9/24/2009
Sorry to hear about your commute. I have the same thing happening to me once in a while. I agree with Gunnar, law enforcement doesn't care.
Unless you had video evidence of infractions of the law and video evidence of license plate number?
For a while I've contemplated rigging a small, cheap, waterproof video camera held onto my bike with velcro pointed backwards toward cars coming up from behind. This way I'd have video evidence if someone was being reckless. Not too expensive ($50. on Amazon) and may do the trick. http://www.amazon.com/Oregon-Scientific-ATC2K-Waterproof-Action/dp/B000F5FKHI

Don't forget her violation of DC's 3 foot law. We've had that law now for 1.5 years. Of course this law can only be enforced when a driver has hit a cyclist or a cop see the offense and understands the law.
I expect drivers to do stupid shit when I ride. I've actually become numb to it all.
- 9/25/2009
yes , submissive cycling enables aggressive driving.
yes, cops dont care...where do you live...dc = doesnt care
what did you do...nothing
whats going to happen next time...same thing
good job pussy

as a cyclist I held my position on the street
I was not riding all the way to the right
by submissive cycling versus aggressive cycling
I am not telling people that they should carry their U-Lock as a weapon
although it is not a bad idea
submissive cycling means hiding to the side in the gutter... rolling in the door zone... allowing cars to pass you inches away in the same lane
take the lane is what I am saying
let them go around you
my blood boiled and a Mount Pleasant neighbor who was on bike and experienced essentially the same pass shared with me the frustration that we can not strike back
I am an adult
I am trying to sort this out and handle this as adults do
I am an advocate
I try and work with the system
although at times I may ride like an anarchist
I am not an anarchist
I try to work with the system to make things better
there are just not enough hours in they day for me to be all the people I want to be
a few years ago I was attending BAC:Bicycle Advisory Council meetings in the district
but realized I did not have the time for all these responsibilities
coaching my son's soccer team bumped the BAC meetings off my already busy calendar
(Jeff Peel? what is the difference between council and committee again?)

The following letter to the editor by 14-year-old Jasmin H. was published in the October 3 edition of Canterbury, New Zealand's Northern Outlook. In this strange missive, the youth claims that that the global gay agenda will lead to a frightening new species of monogamist ducks. Or something. It's not entirely clear! (In a nutshell, if you're definitely gay, you might also be a little bit Roman, and you're absolutely enabling our new avian overlords and their Lovecraftian genitalia.)

- DVD Format: Blu-Ray, R1
"But you wouldn't clap yet, because making something disappear isn't enough, you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call… The Prestige." – Mr. Cutter, narrating
"I love you." – Alfred Borden
"Not today. Well, some days it's not true, and today you don't mean it. Maybe today you're more in love with magic than me. I like being able to tell the difference, it makes the days it is true mean something." – Sarah Borden
"I don't want to kill doves." – Robert Angier
"Then stay off stage. You're a magician not a wizard. You gotta' get your hands dirty if you're going to achieve the impossible." – Mr. Cutter
"I can recognize an obsession, no good will come of it." – Nikola Tesla
"The truly extra-ordinary is not permitted in science and industry. Perhaps, you'll find more luck in your field – where people are happy to be mystified." – Tesla
The Prestige is a film about envy, jealousy, and obsession. But rather than jealousy over someone else's relationship with a third person; or obsession with a person, The Prestige is about professional jealousy and obsession with an idea. Add to that it's unusual structure, and it's a fascinating film, that's intriguing to watch.
This is the story of two stage magicians in the 1890s. They start off as friends, working with an ingenue (or magic trick designer) and a female magician (Julia, played by Piper Perabo) who is married to one of them (Angiers, played by Hugh Jackman). Bordan (Bale) seems to be jealous of Angiers relationship with his wife, though this is not obviously stated. And when Julia dies performing a water-tank trick, after Bordan tied her hands – Angiers becomes angry and blames Bordan for the accident. However, this definitely doesn't become your cut-and-dried "you killed my wife – I'm going to get revenge" film. Even by the end of the film, we don't really know if Bordan deliberately tied the wrong knot or if it really was an accident. However, the death of Julia is the spark that turns a friendship into a rivalry – and then into professional jealousy, and finally into obsession. As the film unfolds Angiers and Bordan both one-up each other, and both simply do horrible things to each other – physically harming each other, undercutting each other's stage acts, and simply just not letting the rivalry rest but escalating it with each act of the film.
The structure of the film is also different. It starts with the end, then tells the story through a series of interweaving flashbacks that tell the story in short scenes that not only move forward and back in time, but change point of view as well. The film begins with Angiers dying in a stage magician's trick and Bordan being arrested and charged with his murder. The flashbacks explain their history, their rivalry, and Angiers growing obsession with Bordan's trick: The Transported Man. Angiers follows his obsession to Colorado where he meets Nikola Tesla (David Bowie) and his assistant Alley (Andy Serkis), and convinces them to build a special machine for him. Angiers both gets what he wants and gets much more than he bargained for. But, as the story unfolds – and different parts of the story are told first from Angiers point of view and then from Bordan's, the audience learns more and more about these characters – the doomed characters.
Because the flashbacks are interweaving, as an audience member, not only is one forced to pay very close attention in order to follow the film – but one is also, constantly rearranging the scenes in one's head. Especially the first time I watched this film, as I watched it, I found myself thinking, "OK, so this goes before that, and this goes before that, etc." But unlike other films with a lot of editing and scenes that aren't presented in chronological order – with The Prestige, that the film's story is essentially presented in reverse order before returning to the present and then again turning on a dime, everything in the story is crystal clear. You will not be confused by the story – at all, once you get used to the style and concentrate on the plot.
I'm determined to not spoil this excellent film, but it is also very dark and even somewhat disturbing. To explain just what is going on, and how, would destroy the experience of seeing this film. It's excellent, with an excellent cast, incredible direction, and it's very thought-provoking. However, it is very, very dark. I mean, I've seen film noir before, but the final implications of this film really push the envelope into disturbing territory. Oh, and by disturbing – I do not in any way mean "gross" or bloody, or any of the typical tropes of horror. I wouldn't even call this a horror film. Do not avoid this film simply because of a prejudice against horror – that is not what it is at all.
Recommendation: See it
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Next Film: Inception

Brewers rout Marlins behind Gallardo-Lucroy battery
Righty throws 6 1/3 shutout innings; catcher's four hits spark offense
MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers didn't win any spelling bees on Saturday, but earned straight As in every other subject.
They scored early and often for Yovani Gallardo, who continued his mastery of the Marlins in Milwaukee's 6-0 win at Miller Park, where the home team's only blemish was splashed across manager Ron Roenicke's retro jersey. It read, "MILWAKUEE."
"They gave me a new jersey, third [inning] or fourth, somewhere in there," Roenicke said. "I didn't even know what was on the jersey."
He was busy watching the batter's box. Ryan Braun delivered a two-run double in the first inning, Jonathan Lucroy hit a home run in the third that bounced off the heel of right fielder Giancarlo Stanton's glove and over the fence as part of a four-hit night, and Rickie Weeks added another solo shot in the fourth. The Brewers tallied 10 hits before Marlins starter Nathan Eovaldi recorded his 12th and final out.
Gallardo had much better success against a Marlins offense that has not scored for 24 innings. He worked 6 1/3 innings with help from reliever Brandon Kintzler, who stranded a pair of inherited runners in the seventh, then stayed in the game to work a scoreless eighth. Donovan Hand, Michael Gonzalez and Burke Badenhop combined to blank the Marlins in the ninth.
The Brewers were the last team in the Major Leagues to win via shutout, a dubious distinction they shed with a 6-0 victory in Cincinnati on June 15. Since then, Milwaukee leads the Majors with seven shutout wins, including the last two games against Miami.
"When we command the ball, we're pretty good," Roenicke said. "It's good to see. Early in the season, when we were getting down by so many runs early, it was tough on the offense. It was tough sometimes to stay in the ballgame."
Does it help that the Brewers are facing a Marlins offense that entered Saturday last in the National League in runs, hits, total bases, on-base percentage and slugging?
"I don't know. I think we're pitching a lot better, so I don't want to say it's the offense that we're facing," Roenicke said. "I know one thing: When we don't pitch well, everyone hits us hard."
Gallardo scattered five hits and two walks with five strikeouts and is 5-0 with a 1.12 ERA in seven career starts against the Marlins, every one of which has met the definition of a quality start. In two scoreless starts against Miami this season, Gallardo has worked 14 1/3 scoreless frames.
He touched 92 mph with only one of his 105 pitches, but Gallardo, who is being scouted heavily as teams prepare for the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, was efficient after a 25-pitch first. He needed 15 pitches in the second, 12 in the third, 11 in the fourth and 10 in the fifth, allowing the right-hander to work through the sixth for his third consecutive start since a rough three-inning outing in Washington on July 1.
"I was able to command my fastball and get out of some jams whenever I needed to make a pitch," Gallardo said. "I was able to keep the ball down, mostly, and they turned some double plays behind me that were much needed."
"I thought the rhythm was really good in his delivery," Roenicke said. "That's the guy that we need to carry on with."
Eovaldi had worked at least six innings in each of his last eight starts dating to last season with the Dodgers, but took the loss after allowing six runs on 10 hits and two walks in four innings against a Brewers team that has given him trouble. In four career starts against Milwaukee, Eovaldi is 0-4 with a 4.91 ERA.
"It's definitely frustrating, the way we played last night, and come into today," Eovaldi said. "A long first inning again -- giving up two runs. Just not attacking, really. I've got to attack those guys better."
Lucroy was already a triple shy of the cycle when Eovaldi was removed from the game in the fifth, and when he singled sharply in the seventh inning, Lucroy finished his night with four hits and two RBIs. He is batting .345 with 11 home runs and 37 RBIs over his last 46 games and has raised his batting average in that stretch from .208 to .286. Lucroy leads the Major Leagues with 52 RBIs as a catcher.
He was denied a third RBI in the Brewers' three-run fourth inning, when Lucroy's ground-rule double bounced over the wall in center field. But he'd benefited from a lucky bounce an inning earlier, when Stanton leaped from the warning track for Lucroy's long fly ball.
The baseball struck the heel of Stanton's glove and bounced up and over the fence for a home run and a 3-0 Brewers lead.
"That's pretty funny, man," Lucroy said. "Baseball's a weird game. It's a crazy game, it really is. … I told him when he came up that I owed him dinner next year when we go play in Miami. He said, 'Yeah, you do owe me dinner.'"
For Stanton, his blooper was a first.
"At least it wasn't off my head like [Jose] Canseco," he said.
Both teams' jerseys (the Brewers honored the 1923 Milwaukee Bears on Negro Leagues Tribute Night and the Marlins wore duds from Miami's '56 Triple-A team) will be auctioned on MLB.com beginning at 9 a.m. CT on Tuesday, with proceeds benefiting the Yesterday's Negro League Baseball Players Foundation and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City.

Cable triggers power outage in Fells Point, Canton
Outage affects hundreds of BGE customers during heat wave
Baltimore Gas and Electric said an issue Monday evening with an underground cable triggered a power outage affecting several hundred customers in Fells Point and Canton for days.
The outage first occurred around 6:30 p.m. Monday and affected two different feeder lines in areas along Eastern Avenue between Broadway and Patterson Park. According to BGE, the problem lies underground, where cables apparently can't handle the load of electricity due to the recent excessive heat.
To lighten that load, crews are also installing more overhead lines on nearby poles as a temporary fix. In the long-term, BGE officials said they plan to upgrade the equipment over the next couple of months so that customers will have better reliability moving forward.
About 900 customers were reportedly out when the problem began. Since Wednesday, BGE has restored electric service to 700 customers.
Five customers in Fells Point remained without power on Thursday morning, according to BGE's website. It appears all customers have been restored in Canton.
BGE crews worked Wednesday in the hot July sun at the intersection of Washington and Pratt streets in Upper Fells Point, trying to fix the underground cable that has caused quite a headache for residents like Barry Glassman.
"If there were words stronger than 'miserable' I could use on camera, I would," Glassman said.
Since Saturday power has gone off for long stretches before coming back on for a short time and going off again.
"The heat beats down on us, can't do anything about it. Refrigerators have been off. (I've) lost more food than I dare think about," Glassman said.
During the outage, BGE set up a mobile operations center at Pratt and Wolfe streets, where they distributed water and ice to customers without power.
Many of the residents in the area have questioned the city's work on a water project over the past few weeks as having caused the initial problem, but Department of Public Works officials said they have no reason to believe that any of that work contributed to the problem.
BGE would not comment as to whether or not the city was responsible, saying they are still investigating.
