Use caution if mixing with phenobarbital
By Shelly
from Los Angeles
I looked up the ingredients and they are great on their own. If your pet is on phenobarbital I discovered 2 of the ingredients can alter the effectiveness of the meds. My vet confirmed. My mini schnauzer is having cluster seizures on a weekly basis and they suddenly started two weeks ago. I wanted to try this first before going the other route. I'm crossing my fingers and praying that it works.

Works better than other stuff !
By Marie
from Attica NY
I don't have anything negative to say about theproduct. It's a life saver. I tried some kind ofdrops for a year and pom was still getting aseizure every 7-14 days! She's ten. When i firstgave her Doc Ackermans she went almost a month free the first time. Then she went 3 whole months,and now it is another 3 whole months 88 days now to be exact. I find it very easy to give her, andyes she is picky. I mix it with a tiny bit ofmilk or more especially half & half and then putin a tiny bit, 1/8 spoon ful of malted milkpowder to sweeten it up. Most times she laps itup, but being so picky if she won't then i justpour it into a baby spoon, put her head up a bit,pull back her lips and very slowly dribble it into her mouth being careful she doesn't choke.Must go slow. That's the best way I'm supposed togive her 2 ts but only give 1 ts and it's keepingthe seizures away for 3 months at a time. She started having them when i put flea drops on her.The next day she had a seizure. I use naturalnow. No more poisons. I like to order 2 jars ofDoc Ackermans at a time so i never run out.

My dog began having violent seizures lasting up to 15 minutes. After administering this product, he only had one mild one that lasted about 7 seconds. Three weeks on this and counting. So far, so good!

So far so good
By Arielle
from Wilmington NC
My sweet 17 year old cat, who I've had since I was six years old began experiencing siezures at the beginning of the year. I did my research and came across this product and thought I would give it a try. I've been giving it to my kitty for about two months now and she's had no seizures!! I was very pleased with this product, it's cheap, gentle and so far, it's working for us!! Thanks so much for making an inexpensive product, when there are so many out there that are a total rip off. I can't afford to take her to the vet and it was killing me to see her suffer. This was an answer to a prayer!
it works
By dog luver
from hendersonville nc
When my dog started having seizures I read up on it and it led me to this Product. It immediately reduced the severity. In time he was stable. After some time the seizures began again. Mainly because he is a picky eater and I can't always get him to take it no matter how I disguise it. So I have coupled this remedy with B&B remedy which I put in his ears. However the combination has been a success.

I had high expectations...
By MauSunDance
from Florida
I was really, really hoping this would work when our dog began having seizures, because I didn't want to have to resort to liver-damaging anti-seizure traditional medication. We didn't notice any improvement at first, but continued to use the formula and kept on increasing the dosage. If there was any improvement whatsoever, it must have been very little, because I didn't notice a difference. The duration, frequency, and intensity of the seizures got worse over time. We tried other natural alternatives as well with no positive results. We have assumed that the cause of epilepsy was due to inbreeding, because our dog's siblings also have epilepsy. Our dog is now on phenobarbital and has made excellent process. Had we not switched over to the medication, our dog would probably had either suffered from severe neurological damage or be deceased. I don't want to turn anyone off from purchasing this product - I think it is a great alternative and should be tried out, same with other alternatives, before resorting to more dangerous medication. Just don't set your hopes too high. This product is best for dogs with mild epilepsy, with mild seizures, and should be used with other solutions to prevent seizures. It is important to realize that while this product offers temporary relief, you should also try to investigate into why your pet is having seizures in the first place, and not just use products to mask the symptoms. I definitely encourage giving the product a go, it's pretty affordable and is a good "might help, couldn't hurt" alternative.
Works well, needs to be easier to give
By Heather
from Massachusetts
My cat Sophie used to suffer from several seizures a year. When I give her this formula she has no seizures. At one point, I stopped giving it to her and the seizures started again so I have to believe this product truly works. My only complaint is it's very difficult to administer. She hates it in food and won't take a gelatin cap. I put the dry formula directly in her mouth now and feed her treat afterwards. It works but it's very difficut.
I say "YES" give it a try
By bostonterriermomma
from Golden, CO
Have used for a few months now. Odie started having a couple of seizures. Blood work at vet revealed everything is normal, except a slightly low thyroid count. I decided to try this product instead of tradtional meds. So far only one seizure while taking this. I mix the powder in with Odie's wet food. He eats it all up, no problem.

By Pat Yorkie Lover
from Tampa, FL
I was using another one of your products but do to availability started using Doc Ackerman's Epilepsy & Seizure formula. Since starting my 12 lb yorkie has had only 1 very mild seizures. The only down side is having to mix powder with water. He is fed each morning and I mix it in with his dry food. So far I am very pleased with this product and recommend it.

Runners and parade entrants are being recruited by a pair of organizations to help prevent child abuse and kick off Cartersville's holiday season Dec. 5.
At 4 p.m., participants will dress in festive attire for the Advocates for Children's second annual Jingle Jog, which will cover the 1.4 mile route of the Cartersville-Bartow County Exchange Club Christmas Parade, set for later that evening.
"It was really fun [last year]," said Patty Eagar, executive director for Advocates. "We're really hoping that all of those people plus the people who didn't have a clue what was going on until they saw all the folks running through the streets that they'll all want to put on a costume and ... do it again."
Proceeds from the Jingle Jog fun run will support Advocates for Children, which serves more than 2,600 area youth each year through the Flowering Branch Children's Shelter and providing services that assist in the awareness, prevention and treatment of child abuse.
To register for the event, visit www.AdvoChild.org or call 770-387-1143. Entry fees include $25 for early bird registration and $30 on Dec. 5, 4 p.m., at the Tabernacle Baptist Church parking lot.
"That is why events are important is it raises awareness of what we do," Eagar said. "It may help us find some new friends. It may also help us get matched with people who need our services or they know somebody at their work or in their neighborhood who need our services. ... People [also] can give who may not otherwise be able to make a sizeable donation. But all the $25s add up."
Since about 55 percent of Advocates' annual more than $1.7 million budget is raised by the local community, benefits like the Jingle Jog are integral to the nonprofit's success.
"We have begun to grow again," Eagar said. "We held our own for a couple of years with really not very much growth but with the addition of our Hope in Your Home in-home parenting program that we began beginning of 2013, we are offering preventive services to a whole lot more people, who will be able to be provided with information and techniques so as to prevent child abuse.
"... We're all about helping kids who are the victims of child abuse, but it's much better if we can prevent it in the first place. It's better for the children and it's better for us as taxpayers. It's much cheaper for us to do preventative things than it is to do intensive help for families after the tragedies have already happened."
Like Advocates for Children, the Cartersville-Bartow County Exchange Club also is seeking participants for its offering on Dec. 5.
Area residents are encouraged to enter a non-commercial or commercial float or vehicle in the parade by Nov. 30. Proceeds from the parade — donations to the bucket brigade at the beginning of the event and entrance fees ranging from $50 to $200 — will benefit local charities.
"The Exchange Club, we're mainly focused on preventing child abuse," said Kevin McElwee, secretary for the Cartersville-Bartow County Exchange Club. "And it's one of our major fundraisers for being able to contribute money to Advocates for ... Children and also for the Boys & Girls Club. We raise upwards of $10,000 every year off the Christmas parade, which is donated straight back to those two charities."
After lining up at the Tabernacle Baptist Church parking lot at 4 p.m., the parade participants will depart at 6 p.m., turning right on Church Street, left on Bartow Street, left on Main Street, left on Stonewall Street, left on Church Street, right on Tennessee Street and then return to Tabernacle Baptist. If the parade is rained out, it will be rescheduled for Dec. 12.
"It has been [a tradition for many families]," McElwee said. "I've been associated with it for 22 years now. Every year it seems like the crowds are there and they enjoy it. Whether it's cold or whether it's warm, the crowds are there enjoying it and the kids are out to see Santa and all the lights. So it's a big deal."
For more information about the parade or to obtain an application, visit www.cartersvilleexchange.com or call 770-608-7009.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (March 8, 2012)—The Usual Q.T., who became the first California bred in nearly a quarter of a century to win the Hollywood Derby in 2009, has been retired from racing.
Michael Nentwig, one of the partners – along with wife Melinda – in the ownership group of the 6-year-old son of Unusual Heat, made the announcement on the gelding's Facebook page.
"Today is a bittersweet day for the connections of The Usual Q.T.'' wrote Nentwig. "At the advice of trainer Jim Cassidy, we are going to retire The Usual Q.T. from racing. Words can not describe the joy and excitement this tremendous horse brought to our lives.''
The win in the Grade I Hollywood Derby was the sixth in a row for the bay, capping a year which saw him start nine times and earn $498,670. His other stakes wins in 2009 included the California Cup Mile, the Grade II Oak Tree Derby and the Grade III Sir Beaufort Stakes.
Bred by Carlee Van Kempen, The Usual Q.T. is owned by the Nentwigs, Don Van Kempen, George and Carolyn Saadeh and Jeff and Theresa Byer.
Third in his final start in the Grade II San Gabriel Stakes Jan. 16 at Santa Anita, The Unusual Q.T., who was out of the Western Fame mare Lunge, finished his career with eight wins in 23 starts and earnings of $1,531,240.

UM-Dearborn honors 50 students who are making a difference now and have the potential to impact the region as future leaders
April 6, 2010
DEARBORN / April 6, 2010---Fifty University of Michigan-Dearborn students are being honored as Difference Makers in recognition of their academic achievement, integrity, leadership and creative contribution--in and out of the classroom.
The Difference Makers student recognition award, which was created as part the campuss 50th anniversary celebration, identifies 50 students who are making a difference now, and who have the potential to have impact as future leaders. Biographies of all 50 students can be found at www.umd.umich.edu/differencemakers/.
To have been chosen for this award identifies a student as one of the most significant contributors to our University of Michigan-Dearborn community, UM-Dearborn Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management and Student Life Stanley Henderson said in his campus announcement about the Difference Makers. These students have made their contributions in so many ways. Some are scholars of exceptional note with publications and national conference presentations. Some have held offices in campus organizations and changed the course of their group's history. Some make a difference in their larger community. All will be UM-Dearborn graduates whom we will watch for their future contributions.
UM-Dearborns Difference Makers were recognized with a special ad in the March 29 issue of Crains Detroit Business. They also will be honored at the Student Leadership Awards on Wednesday, April 14. Each will receive a certificate and a 50th anniversary gift.
Nominations were based primarily on leadership, creativity and contributions in the classroom, on campus and in the broader community. Although academic achievement and integrity were important factors, the awards were designed to honor students who demonstrate leadership on and off the campus. A small panel of faculty and staff members reviewed the nominations and selected the Difference Makers.
We truly have some dedicated, professional and highly motivated students who are also very nice people, said Mike Callahan, director of internships and career management in the College of Business, who served on the selection panel. Once again, I am reminded of how lucky I am to be able to work with some of the leaders of tomorrow and see the changes that are, and will be, happening in our community.

I don't understand why we haven't used a 10-day contract to bring in another big. I like the way Johnson and Davis have played and Acy's a trooper, they're walking such a thin line right now. This is exactly the sort of situation that 10-day contracts are for.
what the hell is up with these refs???
These refs are fucking abysmal.
Seems like the Bucks are getting a lot of luck with shots dropping while the Raps are having the rim work against them. Almost surprised we're still in this game. Great rebounding by the Raps I say.
Man AA's zone D sucks badly today. Jose ain't nothing extra either
Field's shot is still broken. LOL

Nice round up! The dishes in the sink sign made me shudder, though. I'd need a sign that says "If you leave your dishes in the sink, I will make you regret it."
I'm almost with you Janis, mine would say "Rinse 'em, Stack em' and keep them on the dirty side!" I hate it when both basins get filled with dirty dishes, and really REALLY hate it when people put them on my clean side!
Tatterhood, I bow before your superior phrasing. :-D

I've been hiking in the White Mountains now for six+ years and for the last several, a trip into the Great Gulf has been on my bucket list. On Sunday, August 11, I had an opportunity to combine this trip with a "need" to tag Adams 5 for the Trailwrights. Sure, there are easier ways to get to Adams 5, not that any way to any of the Adams peaks is easy. This loop exceeded my expectations in every way. 11+ hours for 15+ miles and 6,000+ feet of elevation - worth every bit and more. The forecast was a bit iffy, predicting a trend towards mostly cloudy with summits in and out. On the way up, the entire southwest (Pemi) side of the Presidentials were covered in clouds. Turning up 16 in Gorham, however, showed blue skies with the majority of the peaks already out.
Pool on the Peadbody; Hobble bush berries--first sign of autumn
The Great Gulf trail starts out by immediately crossing the west branch of the Peabody River on a suspension bridge, and follows it all the way to the junction with Six Husbands, crossing twice more - once on a second suspension bridge and again on your own. This third crossing was doable right where the trail crossed, although I did partially submerged a boot. The trail itself resembles the Lincoln Woods trail, without the RR ties - it is an easy grade, former logging road, following a beautiful river. I stopped many times and climbed down to stand on the rocks and check out cascades and pools. With the air temps in the 50s, it wasn't warm enough to take a swim, but some of the pools were clearly deep enough to jump into.
Red trillium berry; Second suspension bridge crossing of the Peabody
The tent sites came and went, and I crossed the Peabody River again. Somewhere in this stretch I ran into a guy named Rich who was a VFTT member (before the crash), and he correctly guessed my identity. This happens once or twice per year, and isn't a surprise any more. I invited him to return if he wished. His goal was Madison Gulf and we went our separate ways here. Beyond this point, the trail gets wilder, with more rocks, more undulations, and more mud. Beyond the second bridge, the first familiar landmark appeared - Clam Rock. I enjoyed this area for a while, including a nearby deep pool with its cascade. It looked plenty deep enough to swim and the current seemed minimal, and the outflow guarded. If it had been as hot as early July, I'd have gone in.
Clam Rock; Best pool yet - almost at the Six Husband's Jct.
The next landmark is the junction with Six Husbands and Wamsutta. The Great Gulf Trail continues onward at this point on its way to the Sphinx Trail (some outbound hikers informed me it was unavoidably wet) and thence to the ravine headwall en route to Washington. On a return trip, I'll continue to the headwall. I descended on the Six Husbands Trail to cross the Peabody River for the final time - this time, there is no bridge, but sufficient stepping stones existed to cross right at the trail, although some were submerged an inch or two.
View into Jefferson Ravine from ladders; Jefferson's Knee
Six Husbands follows Jefferson Brook for a while, before turning due west and attacking the steep southern flank of Jefferson Ravine, known as Jefferson's Knee (North Knee). Sections down low were wet and muddy, but higher up on the steeps, it was thankfully much drier. I took it extra slow and careful through the very steep section, not wanting to have to head back down with a rolled ankle. There are boulder caves to go around or through, with some guessing (an a small cairn or two) as to the direction of the trail (the actual direction is never in doubt; once you make a decision you'll know quickly enough if it was the right one.) There are two pairs of ladders here which go nearly straight up. Atop the 4th ladder is a section with a polished slab below you and an overhanging ledge above you. I crab-walked up backwards to avoid a small wet section. This is a definite no-fall zone. Above this section, the trees get shorter and the trail winds back and forth around the boulders. I had lunch looking into the Great Gulf on one side and Jefferson Ravine on the other. There were plenty of wild blueberries here for dessert.
View through Jefferson Ravine to Carter Range; Adams from Gulfside
Once off the steeps and out of the trees, the route goes through an alpine zone, alternating between grasses, low bushes and rocks. The famous "Jefferson Beach", which is shaped like the USA, and holds snow into July, lies between you and the summit. Passing to the right of the beach, the trail winds its way up until it crosses the Gulfside, and then the Jefferson Loop, which takes you to the giant cairn on the north side of the summit. The clouds were thickening, and although Adams was completely obscured, Jefferson's top was not. I didn't stay long and headed north along the Gulfside in search of Adams 5. Adams 5 is a pretty short pile of rocks, maybe 40 feet tall, just east of the Gulfside Trail. This was my goal peak for the hike, but it was pretty unspectacular, as peaks go on this loop.
Madison; Facial rock formation on the Osgood
After sumitting Adams, I headed on to Madison to check out the new hut - have only been up in winter since it was rebuilt - very nice. I talked to the croo for a short while, bought a peanut butter cookie, and filled up a water bottle. From the hut I jumped on the Osgood up and over the summit. From the top, the Osgood was all new trail to me - and another fine trail it is - following the top of Osgood Ridge for over a mile, before finally dropping back into the trees. In this stretch, I had company, Jeremy, who'd come from Lake of the Clouds. We walked together on and off and I offered him a ride back to Pinkham for his car, rather than taking Old Jackson Road.

The communications minor is open to students of any major. It offers a group of courses from various departments designed to give students a broad introduction to the general area of communications. The minor is concerned with broad social, moral and philosophical issues, as well as with the improvement of communication skills.
This minor should be considered as a core of courses that could be extended in a more focused way through additional courses, independent study and internships. Students interested in public relations or advertising, for instance, could take additional courses in art and management while majoring in English. They also could learn practical skills through involvement with college media (such as the radio station or the various publications) and arrange internships with local advertising agencies, newspapers, radio or television stations.
The minor should be particularly useful to people considering careers in any field of communications (for example, newspapers, radio or television) or business management. The minor, however, should be worthwhile in general for any student, enhancing her or his college performance and making a useful offering on a transcript for job applications in many fields.
The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (four courses).
Total credit hours required for communications minor – 16 credits
Christa Wellhausen, Department of Theatre Studies
The dance minor is intended for students of any major who wish to discover or continue the development of their creative, technical and performance skills in the fine art of dance. It serves especially well as a companion to majors in the departments of theatre studies, art, sport studies and psychology. The minor seeks to reveal and reintegrate the experiences of mind, body and spirit and to explore the use of art in creating new contexts in which to understand and create personal meaning in life.
Emphases in the minor include a discovery of the student's own expressive potential through the study of established physical dance techniques and the creation of thoughtful works, participation in numerous performances and developing an understanding of dance within contemporary society.
The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (six courses).
Total credit hours required for dance minor – 16 credits
Michele Malotky
, Department of Biology
The integrated science minor is designed to provide students with a broad exposure to a variety of scientific disciplines. Such a broad exposure is essential for citizens and potential leaders who seek to understand the breaking news stories that dominate the headlines in the 21st century. Intelligent decision-making on issues such as stem cell research, the use of the anthrax bacillus as a biological weapon, the ozone holes and potential remedies for the underlying causes of global warming, requires knowledge of chemistry, mathematics, physics, geology and biology. Completion of the integrated sciences minor will provide a solid underpinning for advanced study in the sciences, as well as an appropriate background for students interested in pursuing careers in business, journalism, the law, the social sciences or politics.
The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (four courses). One of the four courses must be a 300 or 400-level capstone course. In some cases a student might have to take more than three courses to meet the prerequisites of a capstone course.
Total credit hours required for integrated science minor – 16 credits
Mark Justad
, Director of Center for Principled Problem Solving
The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (4 courses).
The Principled Problem Solving Experience minor is a unique learning community in which students will demonstrate sophisticated understanding of the relationship between one or more of Guilford's Core Values and a specific and significant real world problem. PPS Experiences require a significant commitment on the part of a student and are available only to those students at the beginning of each PPSE. PPSE topics and learning communities rotate and change, so please consult with the Center for Principled Problem Solving for PPSE's currently accepting students.
PPS Experiences typically involve a mix of traditional coursework and experiential opportunities (e.g., internships, abroad or field experiences, research, community service, etc.) and rely upon perspectives from a variety of disciplines. Real-world problems and the College's Core Values are not exclusive to a single discipline. Interdisciplinary learning represents a key component of each PPS Experience. Finally, students will have common experiences and courses that seek to build and strengthen the PPSE learning community for each student.

"SHared Access Research Ecosystem" article by Tyler Walters, dean of university libraries at Virginia Tech and co-chair of the SHARE Steering Group, and Judy Ruttenberg, program director at ARL, published in the March/April 2014 EDUCAUSE Review. View this article online on the EDUCAUSE Review website.
Presented at the 159th ARL Membership Meeting, October 2011.
The New Roles for New Times series identifies and delineates emerging roles and present research on early experiences among member libraries in developing the roles and delivering services. This report looks at how libraries are developing new roles and services in the arena of digital curation for preservation.
The authors consider a "promising set of new roles that libraries are currently carving out in the digital arena," describing emerging strategies for libraries and librarians and highlighting collaborative approaches through a series of case studies of key programs and projects. They also provide helpful definitions and offer recommendations for libraries considering how best to make or expand their investments in digital curation. Issues and developments within and across the sciences and humanities are considered.
Hardcopy also available for purchase for $25.00 plus shipping & handling.
Walters identifies three issues effecting the growth and future of digital data curation: 1) Culture and policy frameworks; 2) Technology integration and data curation tools; and 3) Economic sustainability of our partnership and consortial models for the September 2006 ARL Workshop on New Collaborative Relationships: The Role of Academic Libraries in the Digital Data Universe held at the National Science Foundation.

Is the D300 change/upgrade on the cards.
I am looking to upgrade to either the D7000 or the D300 torn between the two at present.
However the D300 has been around a while now, and from mid range down all have been upgraded/replaced over the last few years.
Given there are a few deals around on the D300 it just occurred to me there may be something around the corner.

Cancer-stricken couple get help from friends
CONCORD — Lying alone in his hospital room Thursday, Jeff Price wasn't concerned with a pending CT scan to check for remaining pieces of his recently removed softball-size tumor.
He tried not to think about his wife, Jennifer, who convinced doctors to let her skip a week of chemotherapy for her own rare bone cancer.
Instead, Jeff focused on the entourage of visitors, friends and family that trooped through the second-floor surgery center at Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast in the two days after his surgery.
"I've been blessed," Price said of the supporters. "I'm overwhelmed, really I am."
Among his supporters are Tim Ervin and Richard Peeler, who work at Faith Farm and Equipment Sales.
Both have known Price for years, in construction and in Rockwell area churches, and wanted to help.
The business is hosting a fundraiser today and Saturday.
"We saw the opportunity to help them out and called and got permission from Jeff," Peeler said. "They're just the type of people that would be the first ones there for you."
Proceeds from the benefit are going to offset the Prices' medical bills. Neither have insurance.
A former teacher at South Rowan High, Price left to go into construction in the early '90s.
But the 2006 recession hit workers like him the hardest.
"It's hard to pay your premiums when you have to pay your bills," he said.
So the Prices dropped health insurance a few years later.
Last Thanksgiving, Price said he began feeling discomfort in his midsection.
The pain left his mind days later when Jennifer, a secretary at Lyerly Evangelical Church where they attend, was diagnosed with a Ewing sarcoma tumor in her foot. Price said the tumor is a rare form of cancer.
As they worked through weekly chemotherapy sessions, Jeff Price began to feel worse.
He finally convinced himself to go to the doctor last week.
"I was meaning to go to the doctor," he said, "but with work and all this, you had to put it off."
On Friday, he was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer.
He said he hasn't dwelled on the unbelievably unfortunate odds. The Prices' two children, a 15- and 20-year-old, have also handled it well, he said.
"They're strong," Price said. "The kids are strong."
Two days removed from his surgery, he seemed upbeat.
"It's not about me," he said. "It's not about my wife. It's about praising God."
Price said he and his wife typically shy away from publicity, but he couldn't bring himself to decline his friends' benefit.
"If God told you to do that," he recalled telling his friends, "then I don't want to rob you of a blessing."
The fundraiser will be at Faith Farm & Equipment Sales, 585 W. Ritchie Road. It starts at 8 a.m. today and will end at 3 p.m. Saturday.
Hot dogs and hamburgers will be sold and a Toro self-propelled mower, a Husqvarna push mower and a Kawasaki trimmer are expected to be raffled off.

Today the BMC Racing Team has announced that its roster for the upcoming season has been finalized. "Management has assembled an outstanding group of athletes capable of competing anywhere.
It will be a pleasure to see them in action with the best teams in the world next season," said team President Jim Ochowicz. For 2010 the BMC Racing Team roster boasts current World Professional Road Champion from Australia, Cadel Evans, ex-World Professional Road Champion from Italy, Alessandro Ballan, as well as current US National Professional Road Champion, George Hincapie. The final roster also includes other notable riders of great promise. "The past two seasons we have grown into a strong team, and combining that with the big recruitment effort we have made this year, we expect to be competitive in every race we enter from the one day classics, to the one week stage races to the Grand Tours," the team's Directeur Sportif John Lelangue confirmed.
"We want to be at all the big races"
The team will consist of twenty-three riders from seven different countries and an additional three riders competing at the U23 level. Some of the new team members are among the most experienced and respected in the peloton and the team will have a solid core of young talents to build on for the future. The BMC Racing Team has applied for UCI Pro Continental and Wild Card status again for 2010 which will make them eligible for invitations to all of the prestige events they will want to target. "We want to be at all the big races, though of course there are no guarantees," Lelangue admitted. "But I am sure we have the organization to be competitive and that is a huge satisfaction."
