There were 3,347 registered runners in the 2012 5K on St. Patrick's Day race in downtown Colorado Springs
For nearly three decades, John and Carol O'Donnell have shaped St. Paddy's Day in the Pikes Peak Region. It has become a celebration of running and cycling.
On March 16th, they'll host the 29th 5K on St. Patrick's Day, an event they started in 1985, and the second Pedaling for St. Pat's 50K Bike Ride. And they've added the Colorado Springs St. Patrick's Day Sports Expo, March 14-15 at the City Auditorium.
The run has grown to become one of the biggest races in the state, with more than 3,000 runners rolling like a green tide down Tejon St.

"We were the race of the month in Runners' World and Colorado Runner Magazine's 5K of the year in 2011," said John O'Donnell, a Colorado Springs native and 1971 St. Mary's High School graduate (Carol graduated from St. Mary's in 1975.)
And participation has exploded in recent years. In 2010, there were 1,666 finishers. In 2011, that number climbed to 2,139, then burst to 3,091 in 2012. Officially, 3,347 registered for the event last year.
VIDEO: Gov. John Hickenlooper invites cyclists to the "Kickoff for 2013 Cy...
How does that happen? Good weather and racing on a holiday weekend helps. But there is more to it. O'Donnell loves running. He was a football player and track man at the University of Southern Colorado (now CSU-Pueblo). And he loves to talk about placing third in his age group on Pikes Peak, "but that was 44 years and 80 pounds ago," he said.
And the O'Donnell's bring experience to the tough game of event organizing.
"That's what we do," O'Donnell said. "We've produced over 100 races, parades, air shows, bike rides, festivals and welcome-home events."
The St. Patrick's day run - which for years was held in Old Colorado City - was always popular.
In 1985, O'Donnell included an invitation-only mile race on Colorado Ave. The winning time was a blazing 3 minutes, 54.9 seconds by John Lohman.
The 5K, now contested on the downtown streets of Colorado Springs, still draws some of the top runners in the state. In 2010, Kenyan-born Robert Cheseret won in 15:00. In 2011, former Olympic steeple chase runner Justin Chaston won the event. Last year, the Boulder Running Company's Tommy Neal took the win.
"We had a great field of runners, tons of people and you couldn't ask for a better day," Neal said as he caught his breath at the finish line.
The O'Donnell's also produce the St. Patrick's Day Parade, which follows the run.
But the big addition - the one that has caught the ear of Front Range cyclists - is the new Pedaling for St. Pat's 50K Bike Ride. In it's inaugural year, the ride drew nearly 500 riders. O'Donnell was expecting about 200.
"I think the technical term for that is 'pleased as punch,'" said Sally Davis, public relations coordinator at O'Donnell and O'Donnell.
Sue Blumberg, a former said City of Colorado Springs administrator approached O'Donnell with the idea of a bike ride.
"They wanted us to have something that would draw people from around the state," he said.
This year, the O'Donnell's are reaching to gather riders from Wyoming to New Mexico. The ride is being billed as the kickoff for Colorado's 2013 cycling events. Part of the pre-race buildup includes TV spot with Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper inviting cyclist to participate.
Cyclists will begin the ride at 8:30 a.m. at America the Beautiful Park, then pedal west and north through the Garden of the Gods. The route will loop clockwise through the city on bike trails and quiet streets before finishing at Colorado College in time for the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- For the first time in 32 years, the Patriots had two players rush for more than 100 yards in a game, as both Stevan Ridley and Brandon Bolden cracked the century mark in the team's 52-28 thumping of the Bills.
Bolden rumbled for 137 yards on 16 carries, with Ridley chipping in 106 yards on 22 carries.
It was the first 100-yard game of Bolden's career, and Ridley's second, after he totaled 106 yards in the season opener against Tennessee. Both were quick to credit their offensive line and teammates for their work.
"It was a great job by the offensive line," Bolden said. "Just giving space to the runners, it wasn't just me, it was almost every back that got back there. Everybody had an opportunity, everybody had a chance, we just had to capitalize."
"Those guys did an exceptional job up front, we played well as an offense," Ridley added. "We got off to a slow start, but it's not how you start, it's how you finish."
Despite falling behind by 14 points early in the third quarter, the Patriots remained committed to running the football. When asked if he liked that approach, Ridley said he was just focused on making the most of whatever opportunities he received.
"That's not really my call, but it was good to get your number called, and it's good that they leaned on the running back room this week," he continued. "And we went out there and just made plays when they call our number, and that's all we can do. When they call our number, we have to go out there and be the players that we are."
Asked about how important it was to stick with the running game, Bolden echoed Ridley's sentiments. "You've got to ask the OC, you've got to ask Bill, I have no idea," he said. "Like I said, I was just doing what I was asked to do."
The Patriots offense scored touchdowns on six consecutive drives in the second half, and Bolden credits the team's composure as a reason they were able to put up 35 unanswered points during that stretch.
"You've got to keep your composure no matter what happens on the field," he said. "You could've been down four touchdowns, you could've been down 10 touchdowns. Everybody's just got to keep your composure and go out there and do your job."
Ridley stressed the importance of playing for 60 minutes when dissecting how the Patriots were able to reverse their offensive fortunes.
"It's called playing 'til the end, that's why they play four quarters of football," he said, then added, "you have four quarters to go out there and play ball, 60 minutes, and that's what we have to do to play ball."
When asked if it was more of a mental or physical adjustment for the offense in the second half, Ridley joked, "I'm not Dr. Phil, man. I just go out there and play ball."

Operation Northern Strike prepares soldiers at Camp Grayling
Fri, 09 Aug 2013 01:35:35 GMT —
Camp Grayling is hosting National Guard soldiers from all over the country this week for the annual combat training exercises known as Northern Strike.
Each year, hundreds of soldiers participate in live fire exercises to practice defending American soil.
Northern Strike is a two week program that brings 24 National Guard units from 12 different states to Grayling.
This program is the largest of its kind in the United States and Camp Grayling was the perfect fit for the second straight year. â??We have great air space both in the air and on the ground to allow an aircraft and our ground troops to train,â?? Len Isabella, Michigan Air National Guard Commander said.
Despite the success of this program, this year the Michigan National Guard ran into an unexpected issue, federal budget cuts, which provided some obstacles this time around.
â??Some things have to be scaled back, but honestly this is where the National Guard really shines, because we are able to in a really cost effective manner conduct these exercises,â?? Major General Greg Vadnais, Michigan Department of Military and Veteran Affairs Director said.
The busy week has just begun at Camp Grayling, the training lasts until August 17th.
Governor Rick Snyder also dropped by the facility for a brief period this afternoon to check out the unique training program.

Alert employee thwarts
third shoplifting attempt
Menomonee Falls - Menomonee Falls police are seeking two subjects responsible for shoplifting multiple carts full of merchandise over a three-day period after an alert Target employee thwarted their third shoplifting attempt on Feb. 11.
According to police:
A loss prevention employee at Target, N95 W17707 Shady Lane, called police at 9:25 a.m. Feb. 11, after he recognized two subjects from previous shoplifting incidents on Feb. 6 and Feb. 8. When the employee attempted to stop the subjects, they left merchandise behind and fled the parking lot in an unknown direction.
The suspects are wanted for shoplifting two carts full of merchandise from Target at 2 p.m. Feb. 6, and two carts full of merchandise at 1:15 p.m. Feb. 8. During the incident on Feb. 8 the suspects paid for some of the merchandise but left without paying for all of it.
One of the suspects is described as a 5-foot, 8-inches tall male in his mid-20s weighing 220 pounds and wearing a black jacket with green and black lettering on the front and back. The other suspect is described as a 5-foot, 2-inches tall female weighing 220 pounds and wearing blue jeans, a white shirt and a green vest.
In all three incidents the suspects were wearing the same clothing and were seen fleeing the lot in a white, four-door vehicle, according to store security.

Former Angel hit by cancer
The Angels game is on. So is Ricky Adams, squaring off against the television in his Alta Loma home and watching the action as though he were still in the major leagues.
His weakened body is pitched forward in his easy chair. His left hand is buried inside a black leather Rawlings glove that resembles the one he used as a lesser-known bench player and utility infielder on the 1982 and 1983 Angels teams plump with All-Stars and future Hall of Famers.
Adams, 52, raps his knuckles against the glove's sweet spot. He remembers playing shortstop, lunging to snare grounders and gunning throws to Rod Carew at first base. He's feeling energetic, invincible even, until the pain strikes.
Cancer. It has torn at him for the past six months. It has whittled his body down by as much as 40 pounds to 170. It has kept him from raising his right arm for a simple overhand toss and forced him to miss throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at an April 27 game as part of the Angels' 50th anniversary celebration.
"I just wouldn't have been able to endure a night like that," said Adams, who was replaced on the mound by former Angels pitcher and general manager Bill Stoneman.
"I have to think about myself, my family, my health and getting better. I'm going to be back at Angel Stadium this season, guaranteed, and I'm going to ask if they'll have me back for that pitch."
It was just over five months ago when Adams had surgery to remove a lump near his right armpit, which, he said, doctors originally thought was either an infection or a benign hematoma. Instead, surgeons discovered the lump to be part of a grapefruit-sized cancerous tumor and the origin of what has been diagnosed as stage four melanoma (skin cancer).
A battery of CAT scans, PET scans, MRIs and blood tests revealed that the cancer had already traveled to his leg, hip, liver, chest and cervical spine. He immediately began radiation treatment at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and qualified for exceptional use of an experimental cancer drug still undergoing clinical trials.
He took medical leave from his sales job with Corona-based Robertson's Ready Mix Concrete, which often sent him to entertain clients in its Angel Stadium luxury suite for about 15 games a season. He also suspended giving private baseball coaching lessons to young players.
"I watched him focus and become that feisty, good-stubborn ballplayer in the face of cancer," said Tammy Adams, his wife of 16 years. "He is fighting. He's becoming a miracle."
He is surviving it all: eight pills a day plus side effects; radiation treatments that leave him fatigued for days; IV infusions to keep his bones from crumbling with one errant step; and the excruciating joint pain that shoots through his body after the subtlest of movements.
Everything -- even the memory of the athlete he used to be -- hurts.
He refuses to use a walker or a cane. He won't sit in a wheelchair unless it's to make the long trip through the medical center. He insists on leaving his radiation treatments "on my own two feet," he tells the orderlies.
"This is a fight," says Adams whose father survived childhood polio. "This isn't my ninth inning yet."
Adams credits the support of his wife and his four children, Ashley, 26, Joshua, 24, Adam, 24, and Garrett, 21. But it's Adams himself, having reverted into his ballplayer never-say-die mentality, that's getting him from day to day. He's trying to beat cancer with the same fierce determination he put toward trying to make The Show almost 35 years ago.
"The game brings out all the fight in me," says Adams, a former Montclair High infielder-turned-1977 Houston Astros first-round selection who played just three major league seasons (1982-1983, 1985).
"I need to use that baseball mindset to battle cancer. Being the competitive athlete, I know how to focus, work hard. It makes me want to get better quick and get back on the field, push the envelope and fight because you don't want someone else to take your job."
His mental strength and stamina showed as he slogged through eight seasons in the minor leagues. His dedication was apparent when he trained and worked out like a starter even though he often held down the corner of the bench with the Angels and San Francisco Giants (1985).
He never became an All-Star but he didn't act like anything less.
"I still feel blessed to have lived every young boy's dream by making it to the major leagues, even though I was stuck behind Doug DeCinces and Rick Burleson and Bobby Grich and Rod Carew and Bob Boone and Brian Downing and Fred Lynn and Reggie Jackson," says Adams. "How do you break a lineup like that?"
Adams rarely did. In two seasons with the Angels, he appeared in only 66 games and had 126 at-bats, tallying 23 runs, 33 hits, six RBI, two home runs, 14 strike outs and a bottle of mullet shampoo from his buddies.
He also found himself on the end of a clubhouse prank one night after he and Carew had dinner on the road in Chicago. Adams, feeling confident after a night with his mentor, had awakened Carew in his hotel room with repeated early morning calls of "E.T. phone home."
Adams arrived at Comiskey Park later that day to find his locker empty and a stone-faced Carew saying that Manager John McNamara requested to see him in the dugout. Adams recalled thinking, "Oh no, I'm being sent down."
McNamara was beginning to demote Adams when Carew emerged from the corner of the dugout laughing and pointing onto the field. All of Adams' belongings were piled in the outfield, his uniform hanging on center field wall, everything soaked from the pouring rain.
"I couldn't resist playing a prank on such a nice kid," recalled Carew. "Since I found out he had cancer, he has been in my thoughts."
Adams believes he is getting better. He will know for sure on Friday when he undergoes more tests at UCLA.
To gain weight, he eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every chance he gets. He has put on 10 pounds.
To build strength, he goes on walks in his cul de sac, pushing himself a little farther every day. He can travel more than 60 feet, 6 inches now.
For inspiration, he opens the windows after his helpful neighbor mows the lawn. The smell of the freshly cut grass still reminds Adams of spring, of ballparks and another Angels game about to begin.
That's when he takes his seat in his chair in front of the television and channels all the motivation he had as a ballplayer.
Three 34-inch Louisville Slugger bats – the same C243 model lumber he used for 247 career at-bats, four home runs and a .215 batting average -- lean against the couch.
When the Angels come up to bat, he reaches for a club, grips it tightly and tries raising it above his shoulders before the first pitch. It's too heavy today.
But he will try to swing again tomorrow, he promises.

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG OS Lens in the Works?
Sigma is really hitting it out of the park lately. The initial line of new lenses – particularly its Art lenses – are simply stunning as both engineering feats and in terms of what we have seen and heard of their real world results.
Case in point: the 18-35mm f/1.8 APS-C zoom, the 35mm f/1.4 and the 30mm f/1.4 APS-C lenses. [Read more…]

Holy cow! What a lens for APS-C shooters if this is for real.

With the crop factor taken into account, we would be looking at a field of view equivalent of a 27-52.5mm lens on a full frame camera.
And that's at a constant f/1.8 aperture throughout the range! [Read more…]

Hill's Attorneys Back In Court
Attorneys for death row inmate Warren Lee Hill will be back in court Thursday to challenge the constitutionality of a Georgia law prohibiting the release of information on where the state acquired its supply of a lethal injection drug. They're seeking to delay Hill's execution set for Friday.
Full Story
Fri., August 3, 2012 2:58am
Expired Drug Delayed Execution
Records show that one of the drugs that was to be used in Warren Lee Hill's scheduled execution in Georgia last month had expired two weeks before he was scheduled to die. The Department of Corrections tried to change its procedures from three drugs to one — a barbiturate — in an effort to keep the execution on track.
Mon., July 23, 2012 1:41pm
Court Grants Stay Of Execution
The Georgia Supreme Court halted Monday's scheduled execution of a man convicted of killing a fellow prison inmate, turning aside his claim of mental disability and blocking the planned lethal injection on other grounds.
Wed., July 18, 2012 3:17am
Ga. Switches To Single-Drug Executions
The Georgia Department of Corrections said in a statement Tuesday it will begin using a single dose of the sedative pentobarbital for the death penalty. It had been using pentobarbital as part of a three-drug combination.
Tue., July 19, 2011 4:48am
Ga. Execution Drug Again Challenged
Lawyers for a Georgia man set to be put to death on Wednesday have filed a lawsuit seeking to halt his execution, saying the drug authorities plan to use caused "needless suffering" when it was administered to another death row inmate. Andrew DeYoung is scheduled to die after being convicted of the 1993 slayings of his parents and 14-year-old sister.
Wed., June 22, 2011 5:52am
Injection Drug Challenge Delays Execution
A Fulton County judge has temporarily halted the execution of an inmate while she considers his challenge to Georgia's recent switch to a new legal injection drug. Roy Willard Blankenship was to be executed Thursday for the 1978 murder of a Savannah woman. It would be the first in Georgia using pentobarbital as part of its three-drug combination.

97a Warwick Road, Kenilworth, Warwickshire CB8 1HP. Tel: 0296 52463.
Open Tuesday to Saturday for dinner only. The three-course fixed-price menu costs about pounds 19.80, a la carte about pounds 27 for three courses. All credit cards accepted except Diners
IMAGINE my surprise, if you will. I was driving down a dreary street of terrace houses in the middle of somewhere far, far from home. I was in despairing mode anyway because I had spent two days for this noble profession in search of the heart of middle England, to write a state-of-the-
nation portrait for another publication. I shan't name the place for fear of causing offence, but its high street had been paved over - and so, I think, had the life fires of most of its inhabitants. For two days I had seen nothing but chain stores and expressionless faces. With one thing and another, I was feeling pretty paved over myself. I was in need of a hearty meal.
People had said it was a good restaurant, but I've been misinformed before and from the outside things didn't bode well. It looked unbelievably ordinary. For Restaurant Bosquet is set in the front room of a terrace house in what, though it doesn't feel like it, is the centre of Kenilworth, in Warwickshire. The street is long and plain and could have been in any number of small towns in England. Next door nestles a far more promising looking restaurant, relatively speaking, but it was not one for us. No. The Bosquet is unutterably pass-byable, so watch out. You'll be passing by a little jewel. (And Kenilworth, by the way, is not the town I was referring to earlier.)
Inside, the Bosquet looks dramatically provincial. It is done up in the style of a suburban 'show home', with peach-coloured wallpaper, peachy curtains and an elaborate paste-on border running along the edge of the dining-room ceiling. And then there was the clientele; they didn't exactly help to unpave the old soul either. They looked, as people often do in expensive restaurants anywhere, as if they'd come not to enjoy the eating so much as to sit at a table appropriate to their station. The men had perhaps spent too many years sending one another memos; the women had probably spent too much time at the hairdresser, disapproving of things. So, it was looking bleak. But then they brought on the food, which proved to be excellent.
You'll remember, no doubt, that I began this story with a remark about my surprise. Surprise is this restaurant's trump card. There we were in someone's converted front room, feeling a little uncomfortable to say the least. We ordered from a friendly waitress who turned out to be the owner and the wife of the French chef, Bernard Lignier. The food that was later put in front of us sent the rest of our surroundings into a sort of soft-focus, peachy oblivion. We were offered delight on big white plates. This is what we ate.
My companion ordered sweetbreads as a first course (not cheap at pounds 6.50, but utterly delicious). They were served in pastry with mushrooms and a madeira sauce - excellent, but only slightly better than my own terrine of scallop and pike, which came with a butter sauce. I had opted for the menu (the only menu) which offered three courses for pounds 19.80. We arrived at 9.30pm on a Friday night, not very late you would have thought (or am I being too metropolitan?), but one of the three first courses offered had already run out. It didn't matter, actually. I missed the asparagus, but the terrine was a treat.
As a main course my friend ordered the breast of duck with ginger and pear and lime sauce. Very rich. He was overcome with joy. The duck was tender, the sauce strong but still quite subtle. Nine and a half out of ten. I knocked half a point off for richness, which you may think unfair.
There was a choice of three main courses on my menu: venison with juniper berry sauce (I could easily have gone for that but didn't), salmon, or saddle of lamb. I went for the lamb and certainly didn't regret it; it was incredibly tender. They served it with sage and parmesan and a tomato and white wine sauce. It wasn't as rich as my friend's duck, and as a result I would say it was slightly better. Nine and three-quarters out of ten for the lamb, then. I knocked the quarter of a point off for no very good reason. I suppose it didn't quite send me reeling to heaven. Then again, very few things ever have.
There were several puddings on the menu, but the choice was more restricted than it was for my companion, who had decided to go a la carte. I felt snubbed and full, so I ordered nothing. He ordered a chocolate parfait which gets . . . ten points. It was rich, but puddings are allowed to be. It was the most delicious chocolate either of us had tasted in years.
The bill came to pounds 77 including tip and one bottle of wine. The wine we chose was slightly more expensive than the very cheapest house wine - a Ribonet 1989 at pounds 13.80 a bottle, as opposed to the cheapest red at pounds 10.80. So, not horrendous, but not cheap.
By the time we left the restaurant I think we'd both forgotten the idiosyncracies of its decor, its other clients (long since retired to bed) or the location. It was quite a disappointment to find ourselves back outside, in the middle of a plain road in a small town in the Midlands. So. Next time you think you're near a restaurant which looks unimaginably ordinary, think again. Peer through the windows and examine what is on the plates. Flare those nostrils and breathe deeply. The Restaurant Bosquet has resuscitated my faith in the quality of life. Things, it turns out, are never quite as they first appear.-

GAO provided information on potential reduction in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) fiscal year (FY) 1998 budget request and prior years' appropriations for selected programs. GAO noted that the information did not reflect any adjustments taken by congressional authorization and appropriations committees during their review of the FY 1998 NASA budget request.
GAO noted that: (1) it identified opportunities to reduce NASA's FY 1998 budget request by about $108 million; (2) these opportunities are primarily in the human space flight ($54.4 million) and mission support ($53 million) areas; and (3) it also identified another $24 million in potential excess funding in the science, aeronautics, and technology area, which could be restricted, but the exact amount available for reprogramming or rescission will not be known until the Cassini mission to Saturn is launched in FY 1998.

not to be confused with the Roman Empire of years before, this was pretty much a non-conquering empire (by comparison). It was basically a group of 300 small territories in central Europe. This included Germany, Austria, parts of France and Italy, as well as Russia's neighbours, which later became known as the Eastern Bloc (See warsaw pact). Although not quite a country in it's own right, the hundreds of lands, known to some as the confederation of the rhineland, would unite during wartime to defend thier common interest. Although headed by a general emporer, he had little, if any to some, control over his barons, dukes and knights who declared themselves kings. It was really a pseudo-fuedal kingdom in which one part disliked the next, and did as they pleased. After more than 950 years in existance, it dissolved in 1806, the leading family continuing to rule Austria. It also lead to the creation of Germany.
The holy roman empire was known as the first reich, with the formation of germany the second. Hitler called his regime the third reich to remind people of better times.

Where have all the rubbers gone? The question, unconnected with the provision of classroom equipment, might seem unnecessary. Long past are the days when purchasing prophylactics involved pharmacists reaching furtively under counters or coded barbershop exchanges about "something for the weekend".
Today, condoms are everywhere. You're waiting for your piles prescription and a rank of gleaming boxes speaks of ribbed shafts, fruit flavours and "Xtra Pleasure for Him and Her". You're in the supermarket perusing frozen peas, knowing that a phalanx of French letters is just an aisle or two away.
But does this brazen visibility, now established so thoroughly, necessarily mean that the condom is doing the good work for which it emerged from the shadows in the first place? The joint may be jumping with johnnies, but what effect has that had on the perils they are designed to prevent? Does the condom culture, so central to the promotion of safe sex, have quite the force it did when it emerged in the early 80s in response to Aids?
The signs are not encouraging. For example, if the new ubiquity of the everyman of contraception has had a limiting effect on rates of teenage pregnancies it hasn't been enough to knock the UK off the top of the European league. Moreover, the latest data on HIV infection and other sexually transmitted infections [STIs] make it tempting to conclude that condom use is going radically out of style. Figures from the public health laboratory service (PHLS) for last year showed 2,868 new HIV diagnoses, with more likely to be added as information continues coming in. This represents a 7% rise on 1999 - which was itself a 10-year high. Other STIs are also being diagnosed in larger numbers. At the end of last year the PHLS also reported big rises since 1995 in diagnoses of genital warts (up 20%), syphilis (up 54%), gonorrhoea (up 55%) and, most spectacularly, genital chlamydia (up 76%).
This data should be handled with appropriate care. Chlamydia was almost unknown to the general public until a few years ago, but has been vigorously targeted by providers of sexual health services and information - hence the huge rise in its diagnosis figure may partly reflect increased amounts of testing.
Similarly, many of the new HIV diagnoses have been of people who were infected some years ago but have only recently come forward for testing, perhaps encouraged in some cases by the emergence of drug treatments which slow the development of the virus. None the less the PHLS view is that "the rises in acute STIs are likely to be associated with increasing unsafe sexual behaviour particularly among young heterosexuals and gay men".
The basic prevention message remains the same: use a condom. So why does rejection of them appear to be strengthening, especially among certain social groups?
Again, there is a need for circumspection. For example, Will Nutland, a health promotion manager at Terrence Higgins Trust Lighthouse, cites research showing that while there is some evidence that gay men are having more unprotected analintercourse, there is also evidence that many of those who do so are aware of their own and their sexual partners' HIV status and proceeding accordingly: if both partners are HIV positive, a condom becomes redundant, as it does if both are free from the virus.
But while this shows that the connection between condom use and the incidence of infection is not straightforward in all respects, no one doubts that the safe sex message in general is at least as important as ever, or that the virtues of the condom must remain integral to it. As Nutland points out, one effect of more successful HIV treatment has been to enlarge the pool of people surviving with the virus and therefore representing a possible source of infection. And Gwenda Hughes, a senior scientist at the communicable disease surveillance centre in Colindale, stresses that the increased diagnoses of syphilis and gonorrhoea seem very directly connected to unsafe sex practices. Hughes also emphasises the invisibility of chlamydia - "70% of cases show no symptoms" - and the very serious consequences it can have for women: infertility, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain.
As ever, it is the young who are at the greatest risk from STIs, especially girls and young women in their late teens, and men in their early to mid-20s. So how can the young be taught to love the condom more? It may not be easy. Nutland is frank in saying that those brave 80s efforts to promote condoms as sexy were doomed to have a limited effect: "In the real world most people just don't think they're sexy at all." From another perspective Greg Falola, a Merseyside youth worker specialising in male sexual health and behaviour, says that a lot of those he works with are put off by the bog-standard models they can get for free, and put off by the price of more exotic varieties: "It means they never get to use a condom that they like."
Behind such practical realities lies a deeper problem too: the connections between certain styles of heterosexual masculinity, social disadvantage and the allure of risk. In one of his projects Falola asked a group of Wirral lads to tell him the things that make a man manly. They listed big money, a big car, and getting lots of notches on their bedposts. Of these, only the last is ever likely to be theirs. As Falola observes: "To them being manly means being big and brave and taking risks. It isn't hard to see how that kind of thinking transfers into their attitudes to condoms and safe sex."

According to the Federal Government, MySuper is "a new low cost and simple superannuation product" that will provide a "single diversified investment strategy, suitable for the vast majority of members who are in the default option." As more and more MySuper products are approved by the regulator (APRA), this study seeks to explore the level of diversification of the various MySuper products and their suitability for investors.
The study is the first in its kind to employ the diversification delta, a new measure of diversification, to explore various Mysuper products and their suitability for investors. The study will also focus on the performance of MySuper Products when a contributor is close to retirement and his or her capital base near its maximum, comparing it to a more conservative investment approach with less risk.
The research found that the new measure of diversification, the Diversification Delta based on the empirical entropy as suggested by Vermorken et al. (2012) has a number of shortcomings and is not appropriate to actually monitor diversification of portfolios where risky equity assets are being combined with less risky assets such as bonds or bank bills (a typical combination for superannuation funds). Hence the findings also suggested revised, more appropriate revised measure for diversification. In an out-of-sample analysis, created Diversification Delta-optimal portfolios outperform Sharpe Ratio-optimal portfolios by creating higher average returns with lower standard deviation
The research continued to conduct comprehensive analysis of the different factors that affect the wealth at retirement of an individual superannuation investor, mainly focusing on the contributions and performance of the portfolio over the last 10 years before retirement. It is found that contrary to the common belief, lifecycle strategies which switch from growth to defensive assets as an investor approaches retirement age do not necessarily outperform more aggressive strategies when considering risk-adjusted performance measures. On the other hand, large differences in the performance of different strategies exist with respect to the probability of reaching a high outcome at the retirement age. Furthermore, after testing different contribution levels and salaries, it is found that increasing a mere 2.5% in the contribution level has significant impacts on the probability of reaching or exceeding the required amount for a comfortably lifestyle according to the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA).

Reviews & ratings Strasbourg - Lyon

This was our first leg on a 10 day rail tour. Everything was well organised .the bar staff efficient and friendly
The seats could be more comfortable, but the accuracy on schedule, as the sound comfort are terrific.
i and my mother-in-law who is 74 years old traveled from lyon to strasbourg by train and back to lyon again. it was wonderful. the only thing, maybe it is me who couldn't get it, although it was said that we could get our online tickets from the machines in the station, i couldn't make it. but thanks to person in the ticket office at gare de la part dieu, he helped a lot, thanks again to him. and also when we got to strasbourg it was late and no tourist information, the person at the ticket info at central gare de strasbourg found a map and helped us to find our hotel, thanks to him. every stuff we asked their help were very nice, system is nice, trains are comfortable. thank you very much for making our journey easy and comfortable. evrim balçık - istanbul - turkey
Convenient, comfortable, in time.
The train at Strasbourg delayed from plan around half an hour and made everything confuse and over plan but after we took the train and was arriving at Lyon, two staffs were waiting passengers who missed the next train at platform and they gave us new ticket and schedule to Montpellier.

Ph.D. Program
Sociology Department
Degree Requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy
The Doctoral degree is completed by:
- Obtaining a Master's degree in the department, including the completion of 30 credits, comprised of ten courses or a mix of courses and independent research credits, a Master's thesis or paper, and passing an oral defense.
- Taking an additional 24 credits beyond the equivalent of the Master's degree in Sociology, including a second graduate-level Research Methods course. These credits are fulfilled by a combination of classes and independent research credits. Most students will complete two years of classroom courses (12 classes, or 36 credits) and one year of credited independent research (18 credits) before beginning the dissertation.
- Meeting a one-year full-time residency requirement. (Full-time residency is a three-course load for two consecutive semesters, exclusive of the Summer session.)
- Passing a Comprehensive Examination, consisting of two area examinations and an approved doctoral dissertation proposal.
- Completing a doctoral dissertation and passing an oral defense.
Among the 54 credits (classes plus independent research) needed for completion of the Ph.D. degree, there are eight required courses:
- A two-semester, 6-credit sequence in sociological theory (SOCY7715, SOCY7716). These should be completed by the end of the fourth semester.
- A three-course, 9-credit sequence in research methods: Social Inquiry Research Seminar (SOCY7710) is taken during the first semester of study, Empirical Research Seminar (SOCY7711) is taken during the second semester of study, and Graduate Writing Seminar (SOCY7761), a year-long biweekly three credit course, is taken in the second year of study. (Students officially register for SOCY7761 in the Spring of their second year; in the Fall of their second year, students working on their Theses/Papers are expected to register for a Research and Readings (R&R) course with their thesis advisors while simultaneously attending SOCY7761.)
- Two 3-credit graduate-level courses in statistics (some options include SOCY7702, SOCY7703, SOCY7704, SOCY7705, SOCY7706, SOCY7708, SOCY7709). These should be completed by the end of the fourth semester.
- An additional graduate research methods class (for example, in field research, feminist methodology, advanced quantitative techniques, workshop in historical sociology).
The Ph.D. Comprehensive Exam has three components: two examinations in specialty areas of the student's choice, and an oral defense of the dissertation proposal. These area examinations test advanced knowledge in the student's chosen specialties. One or both of the area examinations may assume the form of a paper of publishable quality to be submitted to a sociology journal.
For more details on the requirements for the Ph.D. in sociology, see the Guide to Graduate Study*. For information on the careers of some of our Ph.D. recipients, see our Ph.D. Alumni Biography page.
