The PezCyclingNews Features section is where you'll find some of our best stories, the kind that make us want to ride our bikes, and remind us why we love cycling and cycle sport so much. With over 1000 original articles posted so far, there's plenty of great reading here to entertain, whether you've got 5 minutes or 5 hours. Or let us serve up a tasty dish of random stories – just click the Randomizer for a completely random selection of stories pulled from our entire database – just click the 'infinity' button in the header, and enjoy!
Our PEZ man at the World road championships, Ed Hood, filled his camera's memory on Sunday. And so on his journey home he picked out his selection of favourite photos. You can't beat those unique, behind the scenes shots to keep the Ponferrada World's feeling going for just a little bit longer.
Roadside Report: 255km of tough racing was on the agenda on Sunday and as always Ed Hood was there for every single moment from the warmup to the startline the finishline and then the post race reactions. Here's a look at his day, roadside in the rain in Ponferrada for the 2014 Men's World Road Cycling Championships.
Roadside Report: Roadside for the action & back stage before and after the race for the reactions - Ed Hood was everywhere in Ponferrada today as he watched the Junior Men's Road Race in the morning and then the big Women's Race in the afternoon where France's Pauline Ferrand-Prevot upset the favorites with a great sprint victory.
Roadside PEZ: With the World's next big stars battling it out in the U/23 Road Race there was nowhere else our veteran reporter and talent spotter Ed Hood would rather be than roadside in Ponferrada soaking up the atmosphere and action. Here's a look at Ed's first day roadside at the 2014 World Road Cycling Championships.
Race Analysis: With the last of the Grand Tours behind us for another year Lee Rodgers takes a look back at the race and analyzes the events, the stages, the crashes and the controversy of Alberto Contador's win over Chris Froome at the 2014 Vuelta a España.
Congratulations to Sam Thompson - winner of the CX Skinsuit by Verge cycling apparel - just in time for 'cross season.
Roadside Reload: Three of the hardest days of the 2014 Vuelta continue on Sunday with a massive kick in the gut on the climb to Lagos de Covadonga. PEZ got up close and personal with the sleeping giant on a quiet day ahead of the race in 2010. Here's a preview of what's to come.
Roadside Retro: This years Vuelta a España starts in the deep South of the Iberian peninsular; Jerez de la Frontera. In 2010 the heat was on when the team time trial kicked off in Sevilla with temperatures in the 40's. Our man Alastair Hamilton was there - here is how he suffered.
Well known for his large collection of classic bicycles our Literary Editor Leslie couldn't resist adding one more bike to his stable in the form of a brand new, custom made Tommasini. First up though was a visit to the factory in Tuscany and a meeting with Irio Tommasini himself to get measured up.
Almost a decade of chasing the Grand Tours from the Roadside POV has led me to one undeniable conclusion - everything goes better with sausages. Nothing says good times like a smoking grill and that mouth-watering aroma of sizzling spices, seasoning, fat and mixed meat bits - mmm mmm good.
Ed Hood loves the Tour, the '6 Days' of Gent, and the cyclo-cross in Koksijde, but where he's happiest is at a Kermis in Belgium - beer, frites, and bike racing. Sunday he watched the Tour final in Paris – Monday it was Westrozebeke.
Roadside Report: The big Basque one day classic in San Sebastian will battle it out this Saturday, so this gives us a great excuse to re-read Peter Easton's Basque experience from last year. Cycling and food go hand in race mitt, especially in the Province of Gipuzcoa, Peter immersed himself in the Basque culture for 2½ unforgettable weeks of riding, food and great times.
The Tour de France; the cycling battle ground for July. One man attacks another in the mountains, the fight to hold off a chasing group, the bunch kick, aggressive phrases are strewn all over the roads of France. 2014 will be no different, but let's look back with the PEZ Crew on battles past.
Book review: A hundred years ago today on Sunday, June 28, 1914, 145 cyclists rolled out of Paris for the 12th edition of the Tour de France, while that same day across Europe in Sarajevo, the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated - triggering the events that began the Great War. Graham Healy explores the impact of World War 1 on professional racing in his new book 'The Shattered Peloton'.
Pro Diary: It's been a while since our resident pro, Clément Koretzky has checked in but it's been busy times - crazy breakaways, pushing hard for Tour de France selection, leading the break into the Areneberg Forest at Paris-Roubaix, punctures, crashes and more...
A quick look around the WorldTour peloton these days shows somewhat of a new trend of late - beards. With the likes of cycling royalty in Sir Bradley Wiggins sporting some growth or classics strongmen Luca Paolini and Simon Geschke sporting full grown beards we thought we'd take a closer look at our hairy friends plus some of the classic beards of days gone by.
Roadside: The Giro's Grande Partenza was more than just a bike race swishing past. For Northern Ireland, it was a game changer, a chance to advertise a different side of a country. For Belfast especially, its reputation is like the scar-tissue covered legs of a crash-prone racer. Not pretty …
I've been lucky to see nine Giros in the last decade, and even luckier to have photographed some of the most beautiful women in the world to share with PEZ-fans, all in the name of our own brand of cycling journalism. Here's 10 of my favorite Giro d'Italia Daily Distractions...
PEZ's Nat King recently traveled to San Diego to ride the self-proclaimed "Most unique cycling event in the US", the Belgian Waffle Ride. He went there aiming for victory but came home from this crazy 217km race over dirt singletrack, steep bergs and more with another experience entirely in what was simply an epic day.
Roadside Report: Amongst the thousands of crazies roadside in the dust at Paris-Roubaix on Sunday was our own Lee Rodgers who was chasing the race with Velo Classic Tours. Seeing the Hell of the North live is a once in a lifetime experience and just like Lee's ride across these hellish roads a couple days prior, this day was nothing short of 'epic'.

Giggs was afforded a warm ovation when making way for Bebe, and a cross from the Portuguese winger looked certain to result in a goal, but Anderson and Danny Welbeck were unable to convert during an untidy goalmouth scramble. With time running out, Welbeck raced through only to be halted by Carlgren's brave challenge and Bebe's crosses caused problems with van Persie's header from a promising position clutched by Carlgren as United had to settle for a draw in front of over 30,000 supporters.

There are park alerts in effect.hide Alerts »
Boat Tours, Paddle-craft Rentals and Select Conveniences Temporarily Unavailable
Glass-bottom, snorkel, diving and island boat tours, and rentals for canoes and other paddle-craft, are temporarily unavailable. The park is working to resolve the issue as soon as possible and regrets the inconvenience. Limited snack items are available.
Places To Go
With 173,000 acres, there are lots of places to go in Biscayne National Park. Visitors with boats have full access to most of the park, although the shallow nature of the bay and reefs can preclude larger vessels.
Did You Know?
In 2001, scientists taking a plant inventory in Biscayne National Park discovered a population of semaphore pricklypear cactus, one of the world's rarest plants. Previously known as only 9 plants in the lower Florida Keys, the new population numbered 570 plants...over 60 times the previous count.

Das FEST music festival in Karlsruhe is one of Germany's biggest open-air events, attracting over 200,000 visitors. It has been held every year in late July since 1985 – on the last weekend before the start of the school holidays in Baden-Württemberg.
If the atmosphere at FEST is on a par with Karlsruhe's famously good weather, it's probably due in part to the concept behind the festival, which really does aim to appeal to everyone and puts child-friendliness high on the agenda. Whilst the grown-ups get rocking, kids can have fun in the fully supervised play zone, playing, splashing and tumbling in total safety – this is what sets FEST apart from all other festivals. For slightly older children there's an amazing choice of fun sports, and they can compete in the FEST Cup for skateboarding and fingerboarding. But FEST is about the music too, and anyone who's ever held a mike here – or a guitar – is among the best in the rock and pop business: Juli, Silbermond, Faithless, Fury in the Slaughterhouse, Apocalyptica, Guano Apes, New Model Army, BAP, H-Blockx, Simple Minds and Die Fantastischen Vier have all headlined at FEST in the past. The organisers' environmental policies and award-winning transport concept have also earned FEST the Green'n'Clean Award from YOUROPE – the European Festival Association.

A Look Back at Russell Brand's Past Loves
June 19, 2012 Couples News
Comedian Russell Brand had quite the reputation after winning The Sun's "Shagger of the Year Award" three years running (2006 to 2008). We thought he was off the market for good when he settled down and tied the knot with Katy Perry, but the wedded bliss was short lived. Now that he's back on the dating scene, let's take a look back at the bad boy's past loves.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Knowledge on fuel use and muscle metabolism in high altitude mammals is very limited. Yet, as the oxidation of carbohydrates offers an oxygen-saving advantage over the oxidation of fatty acids (15-30% more energy produced per oxygen used), one possible adaptation to maintain performance at high altitude is to elevate the use of carbohydrates as a fuel source for energy metabolism. To test this hypothesis, I performed intraspecific and interspecific comparisons of whole-body fuel use and muscle metabolism in closely related high (4000-4500 m) and low altitude (100-300 m) native mice (genus Phyllotis), which I collected at different locations in Andean and coastal regions of Peru. My results show a higher proportional use of carbohydrates when oxygen becomes limited in high altitude Phyllotis in comparison to their low altitude counterparts. This phenotype does not seem to result from similar phylogenetic history or from a chronic exposure to hypobaric hypoxia during development or adulthood. Accordingly, this thesis provides the first compelling evidence of enhanced carbohydrate utilization as an adaptation to high altitude, a hypothesis proposed nearly 30 years ago. The mechanisms responsible for this shift in fuel use are unknown. There were no strong indications of a greater capacity for carbohydrate oxidation in skeletal and cardiac muscles of high altitude Phyllotis mice. Finally, as this thesis provides the first report of whole-body fuel use in mice, a comparison with other mammalian species (rats, dogs and goats) revealed that the current model of mammalian fuel selection, which is thought to be conserved among mammals, does not apply to small mammals. I thus revisited the current model and proposed a new one general to all mammals. This thesis thus provides significant advancements not only in the field of high altitude physiology but also in the field of mammalian energetics.

Neighbor: Octuplets From Sperm Donor
In an effort to try and find out more about the woman who gave birth to octuplets earlier this week, we went to the home she shares with her parents and six other children in Whittier, California.
What we learned is that her whole neighborhood is buzzing about the possibility that the 33-year-old mother used the same sperm donor to conceive the octuplets AND her other six children.
In an exclusive interview with momlogic, one neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous, revealed that the very pregnant young mom was THE hot topic of conversation at the neighborhood Christmas party. He says, "From what I heard, she likes kids, she wants a jillion kids. She even lied to the doctors who impregnated her." The grandmother of the octuplets told the LA Times she never expected fertility treatments would lead her to conceive her eight babies. Neither doctors nor family members have commented on whether or not she used donor sperm.
When asked if he knew who the father of the baby is, the neighbor said, "She is single. She used a sperm donor, someone she knew, who donated sperm a long time ago. He donated the sperm for the first six kids and she used his frozen sperm for these ones. I don't think the sperm donor knows about these eight kids. He was not involved."
According to the neighbor, the parents are very supportive of their daughter and even lost their own home in an effort to support her. "The parents lost their house supporting their daughter," the neighbor went on. "They actually bought this house for her, but then they lost their house supporting her and her kids and they had to move in with her. And now her father has to go back to Iraq to earn more money to support her. Her father either works as a truck driver or an interpreter [in Iraq]."
As to whether the mother herself works, the neighbor says: "She's a professional student and I want to know where the money's coming from to do this. Maybe she's using her student loans to do it."
The family is very private: "They stick to themselves and you can always hear the grandma yelling at the kids because they are so rambunctious."
Although many think the birth of the octuplets is a happy miracle, the neighbor disagrees. "We should find out who the doctor is and where the money came from because this is irresponsible. The girl seemed a little off -- and I don't want to be paying for her kids."

She is a SURROGATE mother who is being paid by someone for the babies and who also paid to have the 8 embryos implanted by a doctor outside of the USA, in Mexico or South America.
The difference between the Duggers and 33 year old Nadya Suleman
{She also uses Nadya Suleman Gutierrez} is that the Duggers are NOT on state assistance and provide for their own and work not just on their TV show unlike Suleman.
Her parents went into Bankruptcy in support of her and the Grandpa is now heading back to Iraq to work as they lost one home in support of this whack job.
Looks like this woman should have a mental health screening as the womans off her nut.. that and a liar to the fertility doc about her brood.
SUSAN I'm sorry but, I think your insane. Have you ever stopped and even tried to imagine what it would cost alone in utilities to take care of fourteen children. And your upset she is getting help and welfare from the state. She would be lucky if she lived in the UK then maybe she would be able to almost get by. As it is now I'm sure a few of the older kids are going hungry every night and could you imagine what the parents of the mother gave up, all the healthcare and medications they wouldn't be able to afford. Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to rely on the US for medical and housing. On the other hand like anonymous said it does kind of sound like the neighbors don't really know what's going on and this is all just speculation. I'm sorry but HA! Having babies to get free money. Rediculous! Maybe, maybe if you foster kids you might make some money on the kids if you starve and don't clothe them. Even then I think people who do that want to get something else besides money out of those foster kids like someone to beat!!!
You people honestly think that even if there are a few irresponsible people out there pretending to be parents that everyone else who needs help should be punished. Are the comments on here that say wake up taxpayers and poor CA for supporting these people when the only reason the state is broke and can't afford to help these people is because those " TAX CUTS" that were suppose to make it easier on everybody else just cut funding for this and other programs including the Federal Reserve. Because when you don't put money in your savings account and spend it instead then when you have an emergency you don't have any safety net. Hmmmmmmm? Isn't that what's going on right now?
I bet you this woman is a surrogate mother who plans to sell these kids to some child porn ring in some foreign country. This story is very fishy.
Hey Ava, this DOES directly affect me since my hard-earned tax money will be paying for the govt. assistance that she's sure to get in order to support her clan. Quite frankly, if you KNOW that you can't afford children, DON'T HAVE THEM because you expect the govt. to help you. The entire family seems a little "off" to me.
This just disgusts me…there are women all over the US and Canada going through fertility treatments paying everything they can just to have one baby. And a single mother of 6, already under the age of 7, decided, for whatever reason, to go have fertility treatment. Then have the hospital go to press about her 8 babies, but says she wants to stay private. Yeah ok whatever MOM. I heard on the news that she has Government assisting. Nice….what else can our gov't pay for when we're in an economic crisis?????
I've been in the PACER online bankruptcy records, and only her mother filed for bankruptcy, on March 24, 2008, trying to save two houses, including the house that this woman's mom bought for her. The bankruptcy, Ch 13, was dismissed in May of 2008, because Angela Victoria Suleman, Debtor, the grandmother of at least 14, failed to attend the Creditors' meeting and failed to make the payments required. This sounds like one more headache for Arnold—"as goes California, so goes the country"—and THAT'S not going to help the State of California.
This woman is a brood mare, and it seems that, because of the sperm-donor arrangement, the source of the sperm can't be held financially responsible. THEY could father massive kingdoms here, just like this, and live off the welfare system. That's better than what the FLDS are doing—she never has to get near those disgusting men—but it's possible, quite possible, that this fruitful new resident HAS NEVER EVEN HAD SEX.
Maybe this is the Islamic version of The Immaculate Conception.
Here's the reason that Mrs. Suleman bought that house and filed for bankruptcy in her own name only.
"Within hours, media had camped out at the family's home in Whittier, where the babies' grandfather pulled up in a minivan in the evening and briefly spoke to The Associated Press. Beside him were two children — a 7-year-old and 6-year-old — who said they were excited to have eight new siblings.
But the grandfather warned that media may have a tougher time finding the family after the babies are released from the hospital."
"We have a huge house, not here," said the man, who would only identify himself as Ed. "You are never going to know where it is."
How will the state know where to send the welfare checks if they don't give their true address? Mr. Suleman is on his way back to Iraq right now, allegedly to raise money. Assuming that he does come back to the U.S. (and who's to stop him), I certainly hope that all money raised will be reported to the CA authorities—YEAH, RIGHT, THAT'LL HAPPEN.
More kids to be fed by Welfare! Not cool!
The duggars are a bit different they had all of their children the natural way and they are not in debt, pay everything with cash. We also do know how the Duggars provide for their children.
It said this womans parents lost their home because they were supporting their daughter and their 6 grandkids. It also says this woman's only job other then being a mother is a professional student. The Grandfather is headed to Iraq in order to help them out financially. Clearly bunk him saying they have a mansion hidden away if that was the case he could just stay here and help take care of his 14 grandkids. Her parents recently went bankrupt.
"SUSAN I'm sorry but, I think your insane. Have you ever stopped and even tried to imagine what it would cost alone in utilities to take care of fourteen children. And your upset she is getting help and welfare from the state. She would be lucky if she lived in the UK then maybe she would be able to almost get by." - jennie
Jennie, she should have thought of that BEFORE she had SIX children then another litter of EIGHT!!
I am a (childfree) UK taxpayer and am sick of seeing feckless people breeding in order to milk the system here and get benefits and handouts. Yes, it happens, it's almost a way of life for a lot of parents here. The UK needs the US system.
By the way, to call Susan insane, for her point of view, is just plain rude.
Something like 50% of Arab-Americans are Christian. I wouldn't be surprised if no one in the family isn Muslim.
Totally irresponsible. Furthermore why isn't the sperm donor on the hook for all these kids? He should be made to pay up pronto.
To all you bleeding hearts out there, you pay the bill for this woman and her kids. I as a taxpayer am feed up. This is what "open minded" liberalism brings. Irresponsibility and the mind set you can do whatever you want whenever you want and someone will pay for it. The doctor who did this and the clinic he works for should be sue for all the money this will cost the taxpayers. How many health issues will these 8 have, let alone her other 6. Funny she can afford to have the procedure done, can afford a Nanny, yup she was interview on Los Angeles TV but we have to pay her welfare etc. Disgusted.
Remember the Duggar's have several commercial properties that they rent out….that's how they pay for their home, clothing, food and other means of support. Yes, the show probably gives them some money, but they are not greedy people, they are just trying to show the world what type of loving, caring family they are.
This girl…woman, whatever you want to call her, I think is out to get money and support from the country one way or another
This happy little chat leaves me wondering just how many of the virulent naysayers here had themselves, or their partner, sterilized after indulging in having the politically correct number of one-and-a-half or two-and-a-half children. I have eight kids, and still remember with bitterness the hatred and criticism I was subjected to, both from within my family and from my community, for not quitting when they thought I should. My husband and I also had to endure slander that we were on public assistance, just because we were obviously not living high off the hog, when that was never the case. I am very maternal, adored my babies hugely, nursed them for a couple of years each, and they are all turning out just fine. The teens all had a job by age fifteen, none is doing booze or drugs.
And I was an only child from a very much less than ideal background. It cannot be denied my kids are doing one heck of a lot better than I ever did at their age, with my "modern" thinking parents. I rejoice in that.
From my own experience with two hysterically materially ambitious working parents I never even considered not being a stay-at-home Mom. It has worked out pretty well for my kids, I believe.
Every situation is different. A loving momma, and two supportive grandparents might just accomplish more with their personal interest and devotion to those kids than anyone imagines.
So butt out, leave 'em alone, for pity's sake. Those fourteen kids will most likely have to suffer way more because of the malice of the surrounding society than from their own family. I believe once the babies are here the only decent thing to do is to be supportive, even if you don't agree. By hurting and ostracising the parents you are also affecting the quality of those children's lives in a negative way, and you can pat yourself on the back for contributing to the evil and hurt in this world.
According to an article by the Associated Press, the grandmother of the octuplets was not at all pleased with her daughter's decision to become pregnant again:
A couple of quotes from the article:
Angela Suleman told The Associated Press she was not supportive when her daughter, Nadya Suleman, decided to have more embryos implanted last year.
"It can't go on any longer," she said in a phone interview Friday. "She's got six children and no husband. I was brought up the traditional way. I firmly believe in marriage. But she didn't want to get married."
While her daughter recovers, Angela Suleman is taking care of the other six children, ages 2 through 7, at the family home in Whittier, about 15 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
She said she warned her daughter that when she gets home from the hospital, "I'm going to be gone."
Angela Suleman said her daughter always had trouble conceiving and underwent in vitro fertilization treatments because her fallopian tubes are "plugged up."
Yolanda Garcia, 49, of Whittier, said she helped care for Nadya Suleman's autistic son three years ago.
"From what I could tell back then, she was pretty happy with herself, saying she liked having kids and she wanted 12 kids in all," Garcia told the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
"She told me that all of her kids were through in vitro, and I said 'Gosh, how can you afford that and go to school at the same time?"' she added. "And she said it's because she got paid for it."
Garcia said she did not ask for details.
Nadya Suleman holds a 2006 degree in child and adolescent development from California State University, Fullerton, and as late as last spring she was studying for a master's degree in counseling, college spokeswoman Paula Selleck told the Press-Telegram.
There's already a special-needs kid in the family — an older one has autism — and the twins from the previous pregnancy are young, only two years old.
Why would a fertility doctor implant multiple embryos in this woman? Why would a fertility doctor implant even a single embryo in this woman? Why wouldn't the fertility doctor suggest psychiatric intervention?
I think the fertility clinic needs to be investigated. Something isn't right here.
These 14 children deserve a better mother. Theirs is mentally ill.
I really feel that DCFS needs to step in and see what kind of living situation these kids are in. I live in Illinois and there is a program that every child is insured. That is fine, but when people take advantage of the system (and I am pretty sure that's what this woman is doing) and then they ruin it for everyone else. Maybe that is why this country is in the crapper. Everyone wants something handed to them. The way this woman is making her money is come tax time and gets all her child tax credits! I know it sounds creepy and I am throwing it out there maybe the gov should step in and in these situations give mandatory hysterectomys! Just a thought…
Let the Christian Right take care of her. Oh wait, they don't do that, they just judge.
The Christian Right does plenty to help mothers in unfortunate situations. All the zpg-ers offer them is abortion or sterilization. Again, where does all the hatred come from? Do we go back to Nazi ways and begin to mutilate individuals to suit our ideology? The land of the free, huh? And who's the one doing all the judging in this particular situation?
I've read some research that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer, especially between teen abortions, and the girl being put immediately on the Pill afterwards. The Christian paper that published it could not afford to spread unsubstantiated material as they'd get their pants sued off in short order. So much for that sacred cow of modern society.
Granted, if all the info fgh provides is on the money, the mom has some problems. Still, the babies are here, two more than she wanted in total. She seems to be an intelligent individual with a good education. Give her a break so she can get on with the business of nurturing the family she wanted.

Peanut-Free/Nut-Free Directory
Our directory is intended as a resource for people with peanut and nut allergies. It contains foods, helpful products, and much more.
The largest-ever food allergy research study recently began.
Known as iFAAM, or Integrated Approaches to Food Allergen and Allergy Risk Management, the study calls for collaboration between food allergy experts, food manufacturers, and patient groups around the world. Its goal is to examine the potential causes of food allergies and to evaluate ways to reduce risk for people with severe allergies.
"This is a massive research project which will have far-reaching consequences for consumers and food producers," said professor Clare Mills of the University of Manchester's Allergy and Respiratory Centre, who will be leading the study.
One of the goals of the study is determining when precautionary "may contain" labels are best used. The labels are now found on most packaged foods, whether such labels are truly needed or not, making it more difficult for consumers with food allergies to assess the potential risk of a particular food product. The researchers hope to develop standardized rules to reduce the risks of cross-contamination and clarify when such labels should be included on food packages.
Another portion of the study examines why people develop food allergies. The researchers involved in this section plan to examine whether the timing of introducing allergenic foods to a baby's diet plays a role. Another group of researchers will look at whether the diet of pregnant women affects their babies' chance of developing food allergies.

THURSDAY, June 2 (HealthDay News) -- They are meant to protect
football players' eyes from serious injury, but new research
reveals that used faceshields are more likely to break on
high-velocity impact.
The survey of college football equipment managers, conducted by
Ohio State University, also found that only about 50 percent of the
schools questioned had a replacement policy in place for used or
damaged shields.
In the study, published in the journal
Optometry, researchers tested the durability of new and game-worn faceshields by hurling baseballs at them with an air canon at five different velocities, ranging from 116 to 150 miles per hour (roughly the equivalent of an adult kicking a soccer ball). Although all the new faceshields were unaffected, more than one-third of the used faceshields cracked during testing -- even at lower forces of contact.
"Based on the results, we felt that multiple impacts to shields were probably the likely cause for the lower resistance to impact over time," study author Aaron Zimmerman, an assistant professor of optometry at Ohio State, said in a university news release. "No matter what the cause is, you do not want to have a protective device fail and potentially cause a more severe injury."
The researchers argued their findings were significant given the
fact that only about half of the football programs evaluated
replaced faceshields that have minor scratches or cracks. The study
also found that about one-third of the programs would replace a
faceshield if it was substantially damaged, and 10 percent would
replace it but only if the damage affected a player's ability to
Just one manager reported that new faceshields -- which cost
around $40 to $50 a shield -- were distributed to players before
every game.
The researchers concluded that college football programs should
develop a universal policy or set of guidelines for routine
inspection and replacement of used faceshields. They also noted
that players who have certain optic nerve disorders or poor vision
in one eye (the latter affecting about 1.5 percent of players)
should be required to wear a faceshield during all practices and
Although most used faceshields cracked on the side during
testing, a few shattered in a host of sharp pieces that could tear
the retina or even pierce the eye.
"We feel that each institution should have some sort of similar policy," Zimmerman added. "Once a week the shields should be inspected, particularly where they fasten to the helmet. But players should be encouraged to glance a faceshield over before each practice and game. And if there's a deep scratch or crack present, it definitely needs to be replaced."

RSVZ-INASTI improves performance management
Improved information sharing, optimal use of available data and financial resources, and increased productivity. These were the targets set by the Belgian National Institute for the Social Security of the Self-Employed (RSVZ-INASTI). Implementing a SAS Business Analytics environment has been instrumental in helping RSVZ-INASTI achieve these objectives. The use of the SAS-based dynamic dashboards and balanced scorecards has improved the monitoring of internal processes. The result is more timely and efficient decisions and improvement in the overall performance of the organization.
More efficient decision-making and steering with SAS
The National Institute for the Social Security of the Self-Employed (RSVZ-INASTI) supervises the social security of 952.000 self-employed individuals. Its missions include the awarding of pensions, the payment of child benefits, the collection of social security contributions, and the determination of social security obligations. Its tasks also include the centralized management of data related to self-employed people and to private companies. RSVZ-INASTI has twelve branch offices throughout Belgium and relies on the expertise of 770 employees to carry out its missions and achieve its targets.
Answering performance management questions
As a public social security organization, RSVZ-INASTI deals continuously with a huge amount of incoming and outgoing data. It is constantly asking questions regarding how it can improve its processes, how it can make better use of existing data, and how the different departments perform at the RSVZ-INASTI level and at the regional branch level. In short, RSVZ-INASTI needed a comprehensive insight into its overall performance. The organization wanted to answer these questions using information sharing and reporting tools.
"Thanks to the automated dashboard application, we can keep track of important or interesting results and problems and perform trend analyses. The application generates operational reports enabling everyone within the organization to follow up on the daily status of files. It also delivers management reports that give the heads of departments a global overview of how their department and the organization as a whole are performing. In other words, it provides essential information for optimal internal steering."
Better data use and reporting
The needs—and questions RSVZ-INASTI needs answers to—have changed in recent years. "We wanted to make even more use of the available data," states Mylle. "For this reason, a new system was developed based on SAS to answer our changing needs. From 2006 to 2009, we implemented an Internet-based SAS reporting tool that answered more detailed, more complex ad-hoc questions.
Increasing overall performance and goal-oriented management steering
It also enabled us to employ formerly unused sources of information in the data warehouse and gain access to the data anywhere, anytime. Moreover, the tool enables us to relate actual performances to preliminary targets. We also now use SAS to obtain monthly results on throughput times and volumes, to get automated and well-illustrated internal benchmarking, and to smooth the steering possibilities."
Dynamic makeover increases steering possibilities
In the next stage, RSVZ-INASTI decided to give a dynamic makeover to its rather static queries and reports. Hence, the SAS-based system was improved by making stored processes available as ready-to-use queries. This makes it both easier and faster to obtain information from queries. Easy-to-use parameters were also inserted to enable key-users as well as occasional users to create tailor-made reports. The first releases of the RSVZ-INASTI balanced scorecards were sometimes overloaded with information. So the number of views was decreased to ensure more efficient steering. "The number of KPIs was also rationalized to allow goal-oriented steering. Moreover, we listened to the needs of our end-users to improve the tool's user-friendliness," recalls Mylle.
SAS tool grows with our expanding needs
"Our experience with SAS has shown that their solutions are able to grow with our developing needs and expectations," declares Mylle. "We will begin to expand the use of dynamic dashboards and balanced scorecards to all operational departments in 2012."

Obama "spiked the football" on Bin Laden within hours of his death instead of waiting days, weeks silently to let our intelligence community gain from it. Frankly, the more he talks, the more of a fraud he show's he is as president.

He is a sad excuse for a man. This pantywaist never played football. He's a lying wuss…
He did more than fumble, he let the air out of the ball.
As a football guy…his use of 'fumble' far understates this man's presidency. There aren't enough football analogies to describe his unmitigated failure.

New Mercedes Supercar
Playing to its strengths, the storied German automaker unveils a supercar as well as an elegant saloon on its home turf.
After a relatively low-key and eco-focused showing at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz is back with a bang this year thanks to the unveiling of its new SLS supercar, and it's nice to see the German automaker let its hair down and have some fun.
Reviving the spirit of the iconic 1950s 300SL and repackaging it with 21st-century technology was bound to create a buzz at the show, and it did, as show-goers flocked to the Mercedes stand. Equipped with a boosted, dry-sumped version of AMG's mighty 6.2-liter V8 engine that develops 571 horsepower, the SLS has the firepower to keep up with the best of the competition. And Mercedes' first dual-clutch gearbox is a significant departure for a brand that has always stuck by the traditional automatic transmission for its flagship models.
But here in the glitz and glamour of the motor show, the engineering matters less than the look. And 55 years after the first Gullwing, those trademark doors have lost none of their impact. Novelty doors are a show concept essential, of course, but rarely make it onto the production versions — not so with the SLS.
And it's not just the SLS making its debut here. The estate version of the all-new E-Class - launched earlier in the year in saloon and coupe form - is also on show for the first time. As sensible and useful as the SLS is wild and exciting, the E-Class estate has been a Mercedes staple since the late '70s, and this fifth-generation version carries on the tradition in fine style.
All of the features of the regular E-Class, from the rock-solid build quality to the innovative Attention Assist anti-drowsiness system, are of course included on the estate version. But with a load capacity of up to 1,950 liters and a standard fit, key-operated Easy-Pack powered tailgate and host of clever internal cargo options, it's of course more practical than ever.
The estate versions of the E-Class have always been elegant beasts, often more so than their saloon brethren in fact. And so it proves with the new E-Class estate, the boxy lines taking the edge off some of the new E-Class' more controversial styling traits and blending elegance and practicality with real panache.
It's nice to see Mercedes playing to its strengths with a traditional family estate car packed with sensible safety features and great, real-world powertrains — like the 204-horsepower E250 CDI with its huge 369 lb-ft of torque, 150g/km carbon-dioxide emissions and 49.5 mpg fuel economy. What more could you want?
Well, a luxury hybrid perhaps. And on the back of the S400 "mild" hybrid we drove earlier this year, Mercedes has chosen Frankfurt to showcase its all-new plug-in S500 Hybrid. Wearing the Vision badging used by Mercedes concepts, the new hybrid demonstrates the next step in the company's stated aim of introducing modular hybrid systems tailored to individual markets and requirements.
On the S400 Hybrid, the electric motor simply assists the gas-powered engine to boost efficiency and reduce emissions. But the S500 version uses a much bigger battery and more powerful motor and can disconnect the engine to run on electric power alone for around 18 miles. And though the battery charged through brake regeneration, you can also top it up from your domestic electricity supply.
As a result, Mercedes is able to claim an astonishing CO2 figure of just 74 g/km and fuel economy of 88 mpg - better even than the latest Toyota Prius but without any compromise in the luxury or refinement that S-Class buyers expect and way better than the hybrid Lexus LS600h it compares more directly against. But don't expect Lexus to stay quiet for long.

They need to make a 5-star system where you rate players after the run is complete. Higher-rated players would get first dibs on any and all dungeon queues. So the more well-behaved you are, the higher your rating would be and the shorter your queue time.
Let players see their ratings, and how people voted, and even perhaps let players make comments. Send all this in the mail instead of doing it at the end of the instance to avoid potential drama. Oh, and if you leave early you don't get to vote.
The reputation you could build back in BC was really pretty awesome and I wouldn't mind going back to that kind of system, but if you think things are bad for DPS now, just remember that back in BC I was a rogue and I was happy if I got a 5 man group after 2 HOURS in the LFG/trade.
No matter how much DPS qq about the current system, the LFD tool is light-years ahead of the BC system and all this adjusting is done for their benefit. On the whole "tanks and healers will get mounts before me" DPS need to suck it up and realize they are not in demand and they are getting a reward - shorter queue times.

Michael Ripper (27 January 1913 – 28 June 2000) was an English character actor born in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
He began his film career in quota quickies in the 1930s and until the late 1950s was virtually unknown; he was seldom credited. He played one of the two murderers in the Olivier film version of Richard III (1955). Ripper became a mainstay in Hammer Film Productions playing supporting character roles: coachmen, peasants, tavern keepers, pirates and sidekicks. Appearing in more of the company's films than any other performer, these included The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958), The Mummy (1959), Brides of Dracula (1960), The Camp on Blood Island (1958), Captain Clegg (1962), The Scarlet Blade (1963), The Mummy's Shroud (1967), and Plague of the Zombies (1966). Occasionally he was disguised almost beyond recognition, yet his raspy voice remained unmistakable. Some of his parts were little better than glorified bits (as in The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb), but his penultimate role for Hammer Films was a significant supporting part as a landlord in Scars of Dracula in 1970. (His very last Hammer role was as a railway worker in the atypical comedy That's Your Funeral two years later.)
He is also well remembered for his role as the liftman in four of the St. Trinian's comedies, and on television for his role as Thomas the chauffeur in the BBC comedy Butterflies (1978–83) and as Burke, one of the two criminals in the youth television series Freewheelers (1968–71). His other TV roles include Mr Shepherd, Aunt Sally's owner, in Worzel Gummidge, Phunkey in The Pickwick Papers (1985) and the Drones Porter in Jeeves and Wooster (1990–91).

TDHCA Breaks Ground with Innovative Public-Private Partnership
The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) is setting aside $10 million in low interest rate mortgage loan funds for a new homebuyer initiative designed for low- to moderate-income households with slight blemishes on their credit history, it was announced at a news conference today. The Departments Texas First Time Homebuyer Program will make these home loans available to eligible households through local lenders utilizing Fannie Maes Expanded Approval mortgage option.
TDHCA is in a pioneering role as the first state housing finance agency in the country to participate in Fannie Maes Expanded Approval initiative through its single family mortgage revenue bond program. Through this program, ten percent of the $100 million in mortgage funds from the Departments bond proceeds released last month will be available to households with a less than perfect credit history at lower rates than they would receive under alternative financing arrangements.
For more information, go to the press release (PDF), view the press conference video online, or visit the Texas First Time Homebuyer Program page.

Why 401K is The Riskiest Investment of AllWritten by Takeshi Yashima
In spite of what happened in 2000 and 2007, many people seem using the traditional investment vehicle, such as 401K as their primary investment vehicle (I was totally shocked to learn how many guru to be people from investment / money forum still believe 401K is path to obtain good wealth). Personally, I am not investing in dime in 401K (used to but not anymore...) simply because there is virtually no advantage for using these as good investment. Worse, these investments are worst and riskiest investments of all. In this blog, I will explain my thought of why investment like 401K is the worst investment and should never put any money into it.
Reason 1: Current economic outlook
If we take a look around the world, eurozone is verge of default and other developed countries also following the same route. There will be another Lehman moment in this year like 2008. Stock market crash that caused by euro sovereign debt crisis will wipe out many of people's life saving and investment. This is inevitable. Mass-produced financial advisor will tell average people that you need to diversified the portfolio whereby reducing the risk. This is not really diversification at all. True diversification is to diversify across all the asset classes including stock, real estate, commodities and business. What most people are doing is to buy all the fund randomly as if we are betting all the horses at horse racing without considering which one will win. Even if people well diversified their 401K portfolio, stock is still stock and these mutual funds like 401K can't prevent from these systemic stock market crash because all the stocks will fall like a rock once it happens.
Reason 2: Paying highest tax (In case of traditional 401K)
I am not talking about mutual fund here but strictly talking about traditional 401K. "Deferring the taxes so that fund will accumulate faster due to power of conpound interest!". This is mass-produced financial planners will say to the people who are lack of financial education. However, what they will not say to those people is that people investing in 401K will need to pay highest tax possible at the end. And, with this state of economy, what do you think tax will go? It will only go up in the future (Highest tax in US is 97%. Just for your information). Those people who grow money in 401K will be very disappointed how much uncle sum will take their money at the end.
Reason 3: Very illiquid
Another typical sales talk from financial planner is "Your employer will match your contribution so you should put the money more". In essense, it is true. However, once we put the money in your 401K, we can't withdraw your fund until 59 and half year old unless quitting the jobs or extremely emergency circumustances. It is big minus. According to the John Williams from Shadowstats.com, current inflation rate is 12% (Not government number, they always manipulate the number with bogus scheme). Historically, mutual fund is paying around 8%. In other words, we will be guaranteed to lose 4% every single year on average. But, can't move the money around until the certain age. We can't even use those money even if great investment opportunities come to our way.
Reason 4: Fee and expense
Fee and expense for most of the 401K and mutual fund are extremely expensive. Typical expense ratio of those funds are somewhere around 1 - 3%. So, it looks like very low cost. However, it is further from the truth. The more money and longer we hold, the more it will cost us. Expense can accumulate up to 70% of total fund value if we hold something like 40 to 45 years. Many typical financial advisors' another sales tactics is "Use your compound interest to your advantage". But what they don't tell you is that there is compound expense. The more money we hold and longer you hold, the more money will be taken out as an expense.
My biggest worry of this is not fund expense itself but opportunity cost of investing in 401K. Suppose we are not investing in 401K but instead investing in other investment opportunities that yield much higher rate of returns, how much we lose as a result of investing in 401K or other traditional investment? This can be very huge depending on the skill level of investors.
Reason 5: No control
With 401K, there is absolutely no control over the fund itself. Only thing we can do is to move from one fund to another. In deals like real estate, we can physically talk to the property manager or other vendors to improve or change the situation pretty quickly but it is impossible for us to tell fund manager what to do. Worse, what if fund manager himself does not have much knowledge about this current economy? In my opinion, most people invest in investment vehicles that absolutely no control or very little control over. Have you ever thought why banks lend money to invest in real estate and never lend money to invest in mutual fund or 401K? This is because of no control over. This is just too risky for the banks to lend the money for the project that is absolutely no control over.
Reason 6: No protection what so ever
Assets such as business and real estates can be covered by insurance that actually covers the loss when something goes wrong. However, there is no insurance of 401K. If we go to the insurance office to tell agent if there is insurance for 401K or mutual fund, they will be laugh at us and definitely say "NO". When we lose everything in 401K or mutual fund, we will lose everything we ever put up and mutual fund or 401K companies will take all the money. To me, this is very risky.
These 6 reasons confirm me that investing 401K is the riskiest thing people can do. It is absolute insanity to investing vehicle that
1. Pay highest tax - even lose only benefit of the stock investment: capital gain
2. Very illiquid - can't take out money until very late
3. Extremely high expense (accumulated expense)
4. Absolutely no control over
5. No protection
6. 100% exposure to the systemic risk
Yet, many people are believing this is the path to wealth. I feel just sad to see people lacking financial education. In this coming time, I am afraid that millions of people will lose their life saving as a result of what is about to happen. I do hope that more and more people will get financial education. so that they can invest their money much more wisely than just putting the money in riskiest asset of all. In last comment, I will conclude with Warren Buffett's quote "Wide diversification is only required when investors DO NOT UNDERSTAND what they are doing".

My Target had been stripped of many titles but still had Band of Brothers, Sex and the City, and Gilmore Girls (all seasons) sets at that price, and apparently The OC, MacGuyver, and Batman TAS are also ringing up 5.99 at other locations. They weren't labeled as on sale at my store so use those price-check scanners in the store to see which DVDs are ringing up this way.

ATLANTA, Jan. 4 (UPI) — One in every 30 babies born in the United States in 209 was a twin, compared with one in every 53 in 1980, federal health officials say.
Joyce A. Martin, Brady E. Hamilton and Michelle J.K. Osterman of the National Center for Health Statistics — part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — said the twin birth rate rose 76 percent from 1980 through 2009, from 18.9 to 33.3 per 1,000 births, mostly due to mothers having children at an older age and getting fertility treatments.
Twin birth rates rose by nearly 100 percent over three decades among women ages 35-39 and more than 200 percent among women aged 40 and older, the report said.
The older age of women at childbirth in 2009, compared with that of three decades earlier, accounts for only about one-third of the rise in twinning over the 30 years.
The incidence of multiple births in the United States was stable at about 2 percent of all births from 1915 through the 1970s — but twinning rates, and those for triplet and higher-order multiples, began to rise in the early '80s, leading to what has been called "an epidemic of multiple pregnancies," the researchers said.
"Plural pregnancies tend to exact a greater toll on the health of the mother and outcomes for births in multiple deliveries are often compromised compared with singletons," the report said.

Here's some additional information about the junior communications major from Florida. Go to this blog entry to read a Q&A with her coach, John Crooks, and what he says about all nine members on the women's golf team, which he says may be the deepest and best squad he has had since he has been at Campbell. Why I enjoy golf: I'm passionate about it. I like seeing the different golf courses, meeting people and traveling. What golf has taught me: Patience. If you work hard and stay with it, you'll get what you want. What I want others to know about my teammates: We're close-knit, like sisters. Friends forever. We have team dinners. We've live together. Everyone is so positive. What I hope to accomplish before I graduate: As a team, I want to go to nationals, and I would like to win the conference. You have to finish in Top 8 at regionals. We finished 10th last year, and we were so close. I want us to do it this and next year, too. Why Campbell women's golf has been successful: It's Coach [John Crooks]. You can see that he's passionate about it, and he's recruited a lot of great players. He brings in nice girls who want to work hard and just play. What I do if I have a bad round: Pray, talk to my parents and just realize that it could have always been my worst. Favorite golf course: There are so many beautiful golf courses that I've played on. I don't think we've traveled anywhere where we haven't played on a beautiful course. Favorite golf club: A driver. I like to be aggressive, and I think that's the best part of my game — hitting fairways. Why I'm a communications major: I wanted to stay away from math! I like being around people. I like photography. I like news and journalism and public relations. My long-term goal: To make be LPGA Tour, or to work in the golf world. What it'll take to make the Tour: A lot more dedication and work on the short game. Continue to play tournaments, and continue to practice. How I'll improve my short game: Practice. Practice. Practice. Permalink

Both add an element to this team to help with the slot. While Kirkpatrick had some struggles, one can't expect him to be an All-Pro right now. He has some learning to do on the field, but so far he has played coverage very well. His snaps have increased and this will help him move forward in the future. Ghee is someone who is often forgotten about, but Marvin Lewis drew some comparisons in Ghee to Jonathan Joseph.
Obviously, we have not seen that translate onto the field, but Ghee was very productive in Wake Forest. The main issue with these two players is not talent, as they both have it. It's whether or not they can stay healthy and continue to learn quickly with their limited reps.
With defense tackle, the Bengals lost their best one. However, the Bengals have two extremely talented young players to step up, Devon Still and Brandon Thompson. While in Penn State, Still showed great explosiveness and athleticism. While he has not seen much playing time, he has shown flashes. He plays well as a three technique and can also be rotated in. Still was once viewed as a 1st round prospect, but fell due to other defensive tackles having great combines.
An elbow injury has sidelined him for the past two games, but he is expected to return at some point within the next month.
