VAIL — The running races at the GoPro Mountain Games kicked off Thursday with an exciting Rocky Dog Trail Run featuring humans and their canines running a 5K across Vail Mountain.
The men's field featured multiple lead changes, potty breaks and a loose collar. Anthony Kunkel and his dog Winston ultimately pulled off the win, and Brooke Kish won the women's field with her dog Charlie.
"I think we did good. The women's winner was classic canine-cross style — the dog is just hauling and she's getting yanked around which is awesome. It's beautiful and takes training, but I was so happy that we could pull off the win with our style of running — he's a 27-pound dog," Kunkel said, adding the duo are two for two in this type of race, previously winning in Durango.
"I entered into a non-dog race once and won it," Kish said. "We won't do that again because I felt guilty because we're dog-powered."
Kish also has some tips for first-time racers. "The Non-Stop dog harness and the belt helps a ton," she said.
Josiah Middaugh — an Xterra national champion, two-time USA winter triathlon champion and all-around stud — finished third in the men's category. He was running with a friend's dog, Remi, for the second time.
"She's a good running dog but ran out of gas after about 2 miles," he said. "She was more interested in the rivers than the running the last mile there. I had a pretty good lead and her collar came off three times in the last mile, she jumped in the river and I had to wrestle her out of the creek."
Both Kunkel and Kish said their dogs had zero potty breaks along the way. With runners responsible for picking up after their dogs, this saves precious time.
"He got like four before he started," Kunkel said. "He's just like me, he gets nervous before and then he's ready."
"You never know," Kish said. "One race he went poop. The second race he went pee."
REST OF THE FIELD
Also running the race Thursday was Dave Graham, in town from Queensland, Australia, with his dog Ned, competing in the DockDogs, Climbing Wall and Rocky Dog Trail Run this weekend.
"I'm just running this because I've got fake legs because I used to do search and rescue and broke most of my body," Graham said. "I told myself if I ever come to Vail I'm going to do the run with the dog."
Graham and Ned are traveling the country competing in dog events.
"He's still having trouble with the accents getting along with the other dogs," Graham said joking.
Stacy Lile also participated with her dog Boeing. She's in town with her family and company Junk, the official headband of the GoPro Mountain Games.

A personal exhibition of paintings by artist Vasyl Heletko "The roads by Taras" was opened at the address: Kyiv, Shevchenko's lane, 8a. The author invites everybody who love our Ukraine! Admission free.
This exhibition will continue at the Taras Shevchenko Museum-House until February 27, 2018.
Vasyl Heletko was born in Latvia, but later his family moved to Cherkasy region. The talent for art awoke in Vasyl in a childhood. He led several groups of carving and painting.
His first exhibition took place in Vatutino, Cherkasy region, in 1982.
Vasyl Heletko became interested in Taras Shevchenko and Christian themes in 1990th.
His exhibitions were held in Odessa, Kaniv and Kyiv. He painted cathedrals in Odessa and in Magdeburg (Germany).
The creative dreams and wishes by Vasyl Heletko are connected with the reflection of the history of the Ukrainian state and with the historical past of our people.

A while ago I wrote a post explaining how require and module.exports work. Today I wanted to show a practical example of how we can use that knowledge to organize routes in an express.js project.
This is very Rails-esque with controller namespaces and resources. Ideally, I'd like controllers under API (stats and scores) to have access to common API-based methods. How can we cleanly achieve this?
On line 4 we tell express to enable its routing, and then use the get and post methods (to name a few) to define our routes.
When you tell node.js to require a folder, it automatically loads its index file. With the above, our initial route loading remains untouched: require('./routes')(app). Now, this loading code doesn't just include routes/index.coffe it actually executes it (it's calling the function and passing in the app as an argument). All our routes function does is load and execute more functions.
This is a good solution to help us organize our code, but what about sharing behavior? For example, many API functions will want to make sure requests are authenticate (say, using an SHA1 hash of the parameters and signature).
For those who don't know, when an express route is given 3 parameters, the 2nd one is treated as something of a before-filter (you can pass in an array of them and they'll be processed in order).
And that, is that. There's a lot going on in all of this, but the key takeaway is that you can export anything and that flexibility can lead to some fairly well organized code. You can also leverage the fact that the index file is automatically loaded when its folder is required to keep things nice and clean.
I know this jumped all over the place, but hopefully you'll find it helpful!

There Are 3 Million Fewer Smokers in the US Today Than in 2009 — Why the Huge Drop?
It appears as if some smokers have been forced to either kick the habit or go broke, as a new study recently found that a massive tobacco tax increase may be responsible for the decline in smokers in this country, specifically among teens, the lower class and those who receive welfare.
After President Obama signed the largest tobacco tax to take effect during his term, the federal cigarette tax soared from 39 cents to $1.01 per pack. The tax was to be used to help further the development and growth of children's health care.
That it did. Tax records indicate that more than $30 million in new revenue has been generated since the tax hike was implemented in 2009.
However, after the tax increase caused cigarette prices to rise well above what they had been in over a decade, many people gave them up, resulting in about three million fewer smokers last year than in 2009, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Two-thirds of the American smoking population with families making less than $50,000 felt the impact the most, while members of the teen tokers association dropped off by about 13 percent from the moment the tax hike was put into motion.
Yet, the tax increase cannot take all the credit for getting more people to quit, since a greater percentage of the population today is faced with a multitude of influences like health concerns, smoke-free workplaces and social areas, as well as price increases set forth by the tobacco companies.
David Sutton, spokesperson for Altria Group, maker of Marlboro cigarettes, says that taxes are very influential to consumer behavior, as well as burdensome, claiming that 55 percent of Marlboro's retail price is consumed by taxes and fees.
Reports from the CDC indicate that the federal tax increase is responsible for the highest reduction of tobacco use in recorded history – down nearly 19 percent in 2011.
Hispanics and senior citizens had the most drastic decline in tobacco use – down more than 15 percent from 2008.
More women quit than men did.
Middle-aged men were barely affected – down just 1.2 percent.
Approximately 1 million adult Medicaid subscribers quit smoking.
Tobacco spending increased from $80 billion in 2008 to $98 billion in 2011 – even with overall tobacco purchases falling by 11 percent.


I've recently seen a recipe for olive tapenade that looks so tasty, it made me want to put up my own recipe. Tapenade is so zesty and delicious, there's no limit to how much of this tapenade you can put on a sandwich. It's amazing. The flavor just jumps out at you and grabs your attention and leaves you wanting more. What I like most about this recipe is the sun-dried tomatoes and the fresh basil. So whether you're making an appetizer or a delicious Italian pressed sandwich, olive tapenade is the way to go for all you olive lovers out there. Enjoy!
You will need a food processor for this recipe. There are a few ways you can make it, based on what type of texture you like and how you are serving it.
Relish – Place all ingredients into the processor and pulse a few times, scrape down the sides, then pulse a few more times.
Chunky – Place all ingredients into the processor and pulse 15 times, pausing to scrape down the sides a couple times.
Spread (most popular) – Place all ingredients into the processor and pulse until a paste is formed.
Shelf life is about a week.
Olives are so good for you! Did you know that they are a natural probiotic, so are tremendously healthy for your digestive system. They provide tons of antioxidants, lower cholesterol and high blood pressure, are a natural pain remedy and used in the treatment and prevention of cancer. They really boost your heart health and lower the risk of Diabetes and obesity. They help fight infection and help prevent Osteoporosis. Kalamata olives are my favorite, but I'm not picky, I love them all!
Loving this! It's like all my favorite ingredients thrown together. I'd slather this on baguette. Who knew olives were so healthy? I didn't!

Battle of Wood Lake

The Battle of Wood Lake was a battle in the Dakota War of 1862 in September. By that time in the Dakota War of 1862, the Sioux offensive had slowed considerably, and the Minnesota forces were beginning to implement a plan formulated by Governor Alexander Ramsey. Ramsey's plan, implemented by Colonel Henry Hastings Sibley and frontier commander Charles Eugene Flandrau, had the goals to free European-American settlers held captive by the Indians and to "exterminate" or drive the Dakota "forever beyond the borders of the state". In 2010 the battlefield site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Wood Lake Battlefield Historic District for having state-level significance under the themes Archaeology/Historic-Aboriginal, Archaeology/Historic-Non-Aboriginal, Ethnic Heritage/Native American, and Military. It was nominated as the final engagement of the Dakota War of 1862, a watershed period for the state of Minnesota and the Dakota people, and for embodying early commemoration efforts of 1907–1910, culminating in the stone monument. The Civil War Trust (a division of the American Battlefield Trust) and its partners have acquired and preserved 240 acres of the Wood Lake battlefield. (Source: Wikipedia)

"Apple CEO Tim Cook is set to collect stock worth about $120m (€103.5m) this week thanks to a run-up in shares of the iPhone maker," Anders Melin reports for The Irish Independent. ""
"He'll get as many as 280,000 additional shares if Apple's stock-market return over the preceding three years exceeds at least two-thirds of the firms in the S&P 500," Melin reports. "Apple returned 119pc from August 25, 2015, through the close of trading on Tuesday, including reinvested dividends, outperforming more than 80pc of companies in the index."
"Apple will release a new low-cost laptop and a professional-focused upgrade to the Mac mini desktop later this year, ending a drought of Mac computers that has limited sales of the company's longest-running line of devices, according to people familiar with the plans," Melin reports. "An Apple Watch with a bigger screen is also planned."
MacDailyNews Note: Cook volunteered to introduce a performance-related element to his own awards back in 2013. Cook has also stated plans to donate his fortune to philanthropic causes.
As Bloomberg notes, an Apple regulatory filing on Tuesday with the U.S. SEC (FORM 4) stated that Cook had donated 23,215 of his current Apple shares to charity which at Tuesday's close totals around $4.56 million.

I'd rather Apple's board give Pipeline 120 million AFTER he updated the Mac product line. Then he might deserve it.
Amazing that a computer company that sells 4 year old computers give its CEO $120 mill of stock. SICK

Thankfully the board doesn't listen to you.
You can only coast so long before your lack of leadership catches up with you. I see Cook as inferior to Immelt. Different is, Jobs left a better cash generation engine than Neutron Jackass did.

Banned aids,
Only an idiot would find it acceptable for a computer to not updating computers for 4 years. Thanks for outing yourself!

Amazing that anybody thinks that a CEO who quadrupled the value of his company isn't entitled to be compensated in the same range as any other Fortune 500 executive.
Cook didn't add any value whatsoever. He has fiddled away for years while Jobs' app store keeps dispensing cash into Apple's foreign money laundering machine. The innovation isn't happening. Apple is unfocused and will likely miss the next big thing. Tim is too busy on social work.

You describe yourself very well.
Cook already receives a $3 million salary and $9.3 million in bonuses for his performance. That is what, 5 or 10 times the annual salary of the professionals who are every bit as critical to Apple's success?
If you honestly believe Timmy singlehandedly tripled the value of Apple as a company, then fine, triple his salary.
There is no moral justification for any executive to be handed hundreds of millions of dollars in investors' capital. It is pure waste. This is not capitalism, it is cronyism where the good old boys gift each other money because there's no investor power to stop it. You know it, and I know it.
Feudalism is alive and well.

I criticise Cook regularly but that truly has to be one of the most deluded and derisory comments on him that I have read. You can't hang around developing some imaginary 'new big thing' and let the rest of the company freeze while you do so. He certainly has not been excelling himself in making the most of the present tech and products available but your take is completely over the top in terms of suggesting the company not looking or indeed succeeding in exploiting new opportunities. The company and the market place is a different world away from the days that Jobs used to walk the stage dictating the future while being derided for his perceived naivety within a backdrop of competing against unimaginative dullards. His greatest success was changing that market place completely and the competitive environment is completely different now as a result.
Considering most analysts were making forboding predictions about the company's chances of serving long term, post Jobs what we are seeing now makes a mockery of that and the criticisms are for the most part over nuance and conservatism in the post/post Jobs period rather than arguing over a train wreck which your take seems to suggest is the case.
A new more dynamic leader would be great now but until the right one comes along at least this guy keeps the company going in ways that most of its opposition would die for.

While I don't agree with everything Mike has said, agree with the general assessment of Cook.
Never has a CEO with so many resources, pile of money, unprecedented office digs, ace industrial designers, best software engineers, unprecedented name recognition almost totally squandered his time since 2011.
"The company and the market place is a different world away from the days that Jobs used to walk the stage dictating the future"
The world is different? Right. What's different is that Cook does not have the creativity and vision to walk the stage and dictate the future. I find his presentations to be flat and lifeless, but understand it's just not his thing.
His strengths are in his former position under Steve and it should be obvious to everyone by now, including you.
"His greatest success was changing that market place completely"
You throw that cheerleading opinion out with no explanation. What he has changed in the marketplace is neglect of pro Macs for five years, consistent buggy software releases, consistent late product launches with missing features, killing products that Steve introduced to the world (Airport, iBook publishing, Aperture, etc.) and possibly soon Job's unbelievable unveiling of the MacBook Air. If someone is keeping a spreadsheet tally I suspect he possibly has killed off more great products than he introduced, I don't know for certain, whatever.
Bottom line: We need a new intense creative CEO with a pair and keep the company free of politics …
Steve's iPhone quadrupled the value of his company, while Cook rode first class playing with iPads on the gravy train. Get a grip …

Saying that Cook Quadrupled the value of the company is pretty funny. It's more like he stayed out of the way. The iPhone is a comet and Cook is still just along for the ride, though I'm not saying that hanging on is easy.

Amen …
I also agree. Cook's tone deafness and neglect of the the oldest legacy Apple product line, bringing in the most profit after the iPhone, is totally INEXCUSABLE …

I suppose Tim Cook earned that money fair and square and maybe more than most CEOs deserve. I can't complain as Apple shareholders have certainly prospered since Tim Cook took over Apple. I'm not going to go over any "what if" scenarios as it would be a complete waste of time. Apple may not hold the highest market cap crown very long but that won't be entirely Tim Cook's fault.
I just wish Tim Cook could keep Apple out of the product "shit list" news and maybe start getting some timely desktop product upgrades every couple of years.
Me hoping for a new game-changing product category is probably a stretch for Apple without Steve Jobs.
I think shareholders will benefit if Tim Cook can start a bundled video/music streaming service like Amazon has. I don't know what's taking Apple so long in starting such a service but maybe they'll get it right when they finally decide to do so.
Considering His Situation
I've started a crowdfunding portal to help Tim work through this difficult time. It's on the same page as Michael Colhen's.
Yehhh. I'm with the whiners. He has only tripled the value of the company since Steve died. It's only worth a trillion dollars. And it's only the biggest public company on the planet. I really don't think he deserves any reward for that.
"He has only tripled the value of the company since Steve died."
NO, he had very little to do with it. Steve Jobs iPhone tripled the value. I would give the lion share of the credit to Jony Ive improving the product. Cook plays politics and twiddles on his iPad and kills products and ignores Macs.
"I really don't think he deserves any reward for that."
Totally agree …
Remind me again GoeB. Just what is it that the unimaginative, ungenerous, gun- totin', homophobic, egregious, perpetually irrelevant, whining sadsack of discontent that you appear to be…could possibly offer Apple?
Name calling? How intelligent …

Apple's Tim "Pipeline" Cook and top management of all corporations – producers like Apple and swindlers like Jamie Dimon of Goldman Sachs – are much overpaid, beyond their true human worth. This is the vile underbelly of Capitalistic practices in many Western nations. It's even happening in former Commie Russia.
It should not be up to financially-bloated oligarchs to give away their accumulated hoards according to their schedule, when they want; Such gross personal accumulations should be prohibited in the first place in view of the tremendous amt. of economic, political, income, and access disparities that grows exponentially as I type. I see real-world disparity at the river bottom during my daily bike rides.
To appreciably reduce disparity, I call for the reappropriation of excessive personal wealth via a Constitutional Amendment. A significant article would also remove private money from politics and from lobbying which, unchecked, allows fat cats to write the laws for legislators. This has to stop.
The nice men in the white suits will be there shortly. Please don't struggle with them. They're going to put a comfy white jacket on you with really long sleeves that wrap around your for fun! Then take you out to the nice white van!
It's going to be so fun!
