Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Cycling Team will compete in the National Championships at the Northstar at Tahoe Resort near Truckee, California October 16-18. The Tornados have improved each of the last two years, finishing eighth in the event in 2007 and fourth as a team in 2008.
The National Championships are out west after a two-year stint in North Carolina. The Tornados will arrive in Sacramento on Wednesday.
Eight Tornado men and four Tornado women will compete in the three day event, which begins with the Cross Country Race Friday Morning.
"After nationals last year the team set the goal of winning this year's national championship," Coach Thad Walker said.
Brevard's Tristan Cowie is the defending National Champion in both the Short Track Cross Country and Cross Country Races and sees pressure and opportunity this weekend. "I'm excited. It's been a long time since I've been to California. I've raced in Sonoma before, but I look forward to the challenge of a new terrain. There is some pressure," Cowie continued, "when you are going to a place with higher elevation it's best to get there either 10 days before or the day before competition,"
Cowie expects the soil to be a loose, rocky, composition that is different from the Carolinas, Coach Walker says that rain is called for toward the end of the week and that should make for great conditions on the course.
The team will get to pre-ride the Cross Country Course Thursday which is critical to making adjustments to the bike as well as choosing the right tires to race with. The Men will complete three laps of the 7.5 mile loop and the women will go around the course twice.
Matt St. Marie, Matthew Wells, and Corry Rimmer will join Cowie in the short track and cross country events, which together comprise the endurance section of Nationals.
Danny Cesare coming off his victory at the SECCC Championship in the Dual Slalom in Clemson two weeks ago will ride in the men's Four Cross and Downhill on Sunday and he will be joined by Jacob Roland, Park Baker, and Tripp Bagnel. Rimmer will also compete try to take home the Omnium title for the men.
Joh Tuttle, Julia Tellman, Sarah Duncan, and Alexis Decosimo will race for the Women's team. Tuttle won the Slalom and Omnium national titles in 2008. To qualify for the Omnium a rider must compete in three of the four events, which this weekend include both endurance events, as well as the Four-Cross and Downhill races, which together are known as the Gravity Events.
While Tuttle and Tellman have led the team this year, Coach Walker sees great improvement out of Duncan and Decosimo.
"I expect them to have a solid race. It has been fun to see their progression. Without their points this year we would not have won the conference."
All four Tornado women will try for the omnium title.
"I'm excited about the possibility of a second omnium title," said Tuttle, "I feel some pressure, but I still want to enjoy myself."
The Tornados raced for six straight weeks before getting two weeks off between the Conference Championships and Nationals.
Coach Walker said the break came at a good time, and his team tapered down their intensity in individual workouts to recharge in time for the biggest weekend of the season.
He finished by praising his team's motivation and camaraderie saying, "They see the importance of contributing on and off the bike. They work hard but they have fun and everyone has a great passion for cycling. I'm here to handle the logistics, but it's their team."

Drivers in the area of Alondra Boulevard east of Studebaker Road can expect to pass through a DUI and driver's license checkpoint on July 28 from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies will be actively looking for drivers with signs of alcohol or drug impairment. The checkpoint is an effort to reduce alcohol- and drug-related fatalities and to encourage drivers to use sober designated drivers.
"Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have claimed 3 lives and resulted in 150 DUI collisions harming 84 of our friends and neighbors," Carlos Ramos, director of Norwalk Public Safety, said in a statement.
Drivers caught driving while impaired can expect jail time, fines, DUI classes and other expenses that can exceed $10,000.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety.

I hope you all know about the fact that - Its so hard to convince client to launch Facebook platform as marketing platform. Please help me to convince my client to utilize Facebook as marketing channel ?
You haven't explained much of anything for us to help you argue... What does your client do? What are the objections? Goals? Is there a team to execute on a plan?
show your client how facebook marketing can help generate more revenue in his/her business.
I have found one of the most effective ways to convince a prospect of the value of social media is to show them how others have had success. Try and find some case studies (either someone else's or some of your own from past clients).
The tough part with most clients is breaking down everything you know and applying it to a business scenario that a prospect can see value in. Most business owners don't know what click through rates, promoted posts, fangating, engaging customers or social reach really are. Show them how a business used certain activities to get the attention of prospects and turn them into paying customers.
As Ted points out though, your strategy will depend on what your customer's goals are. If they are trying to increase revenue you may want to show them scenarios where the platform was used to drive traffic to a landing page on a website. If their goal is to develop brand awareness, you would change your strategy accordingly.
Here are some more ideas for you, http://www.marketingprofs.com/articles/2012/8274/how-to-convince-older-business-owners-to-invest-in-social-media
Hope that helps,
Create a Powerpoint presentation about facebook and its impact on local business.
There are various social media stuff available on forums such as warrior forum.
It includes presentations, brochures, business cards to show you as a perfect social media expert.
It also depends on the kind of business someone has whether facebook will be useful for them.
You can also show them examples on how their competitors are using facebook and other social media sites to engage customers.
Most importantly, you need to show them conversions that facebook traffic gets converted into potential customers for a business.
You can also include in your presentation the latest researchers about the effectiveness of Facebook as a marketing tool, how does it work and possible solutions how to maximize the use of FB. You can also include how many people are now using FB in different regions/area/country.
You can simply explain the value of facebook for his business.As it very easy and latest way to promote business also it is very famous in people.
It is their business and the decision ultimately comes down to their preferences. You can't change much without their approval. My only advice is to compile some data (pretty darn convincing data) that shows how effective Facebook marketing can be. Show them what their business can be (in terms of traffic or etc) in 3 or 6 months with Facebook marketing.
Just tell your client that Facebook gives access to 1 billion potential customers, lol
Find out their audience demographic. There is no use if the client's business revolves around older and less socially engaged people.
Present a case study. If you do not have one for your client, why dont you show your own Facebook brand page. Sometimes we need to sell to clients the old fashioned way. If you are selling hats and you dont have a model, wear the hat for the customer and convince them that if it suits you it would suit them as well.
Makes sense, but older people tend to have children and grandchildren who want to take care of their grandma and grandpa - you can still use social network to push it.Pay attention - in many ads that target elder population, they have children being displayed as well...
Children and grandchildren may manage their grand- dad and mom's Facebook profiles but i doubt if they will be willing to go through every post and ad on their profiles regularly. Even if they did it, it would be like hitting way beyond the bullseye (target business reach). If the business takes on SMO with in-house staff it may be worth a shot, but I dont think ones with such customer demographic would invest on an SEO (or SMO) company for Facebook marketing.
Yeah, guess you're absolutely right for paid advertising it's not going to work.What about the elder people's communities? Can you target those?
If there are communities or forums like these, yes they can be targeted for businesses that focus on the senior citizens. One can also go for blog marketing and target children and grandchildren looking for more information on say for example elder care services. In this case, the website rendering the service must have a blog or publish blogs on quality sites such as squidoo.com and hubpages.com that appear in search.
There are more chances of a concerned son or daughter looking for information for their parents on search rather than on Facebook.
Well, there are quite a few communities for elder people on Facebook. Anyway, thanks for good answer - guess we're a little bit off-topic here.
Maybe thread starter can give some insights into the product category at least?

Lotus' Romain Grosjean had a mare of a weekend in Germany and can't get to Budapest soon enough to get his season back on track. Fortunately, the two rounds are back-to-back. Kimi Räikkönen , on the other hand, put in a solid drive from P10 to fourth across the line and ended up getting promoted to third when Sebastian Vettel was penalised. He's now fourth in the drivers' championship. Should Lotus's elusive first win come in Hungary this weekend, it could put the cat among the pigeons.
The first F1 circuit to appear from the Eastern Bloc, the Hungaroring has been dubbed 'Monaco without the buildings' and as a result, races can be processional. However, it's also true that since 1986 this circuit has hosted some truly remarkable outcomes and a few breathtaking moves too.
The drivers enjoy it too because it's so involving. Each corner leads into the next, and there is very little chance to pause and catch one's breath.
The constantly changing gradient makes the track interesting to race on, and precision is of key importance because the car is turning for a large part of the lap. It can be hard on tyres, and the cars require mechanical grip and a torquey engine. Most of all, the emphasis is on downforce and teams will run maximum wing.
The track runs along one side of a valley, drops down into the sweeping Turns 1 and 2, and then rises up again. It's at this first corner that the only real chance of a passing move lies. The final section of spoon curves allows cars to bunch up tightly behind each other, all looking to catapult themselves past on the straight.
Local start time: 14h00
Number of laps: 70
Circuit length: 4.381km
Race distance: 306.630km
Lap record: Michael Schumacher (Ferrari, 2004), 1m19.071
Experience a lap of the Hungaroring circuit by watching this 3D computer generated video of the track.
Kimi Räikkönen: "If you had told me in January that we would be fourth halfway through the season, I think I would have been pretty pleased. It's not a bad place to be, but I think we have a car good enough to have scored more points. I want to win and the whole team is pushing hard to make that happen, so let's see what we can do in the second half of the season. I have won once in Hungary and finished second three times. It is a very hot and demanding race. There are two things which are really important for fast lap times: good turn in and good traction. If you have those, you'll be competitive. This is one of those circuits where it's very difficult to overtake, so you need to get to the front in qualifying and ideally avoid the dirty side of the grid."
Romain Grosjean: "There are races where nothing goes right and Germany was one of those. Let's hope the luck will turn around and everything will be much better in Budapest. I scored my first GP2 Series pole position there in 2008. Last year I won and finished third, so I'm heading to Hungary with a positive attitude."
Consisting of two very different cities, Buda on the west bank of the Danube River and Pest on the east bank, Budapest offers travelers Viennese romanticism and Iron Curtain character.
Regarded as one of the most attractive cities in Europe, and with renowned nightlife and great cuisine, Budapest often hosts some of Formula One's biggest parties – thanks in no small part to the month-long gap before the next race, which means pretty much everyone is on holiday on Sunday night.
Most teams head to club Rio. Palm trees, dancing girls, and space for 6,000 revelers. The dance floor is open air, and the DJs among the best in Budapest. The winner of the Hungarian Grand Prix invariably ends up here.
Lonely Planet recently voted A38 as the best bar in the world. Cruise the waters of the Danube on this ship-cum-nightclub. It used to be a Ukrainian stone-carrier but now it's a summer-club with live music and DJs. Don't be afraid to rock the boat!
In 1934 Budapest was awarded the supreme title 'Spa City'. It is unique in being the only large city to abound in fountains of healing water. The Gellert baths are perhaps the most impressive architectural example. Its effervescent pools can reach 38ºC. The indoor pool has wonderful classical styling and there's an open air pool too, with a wave machine that dates back to the 1950s.
The place to head for souvenirs and foodstuffs is Nagy Vasarcsarnok. Translated as 'Central Market Hall' it's housed in a splendid 19th century building with a colourful green and yellow tiled roof. Handmade embroidered table cloths are popular buys here, and there are lots of stalls selling salami, paprika goose liver and a fruit spirit called Palinka.
Statue Park is where communism in Hungary has gone to die, beyond the city boundaries. Thirty statues, many of which are on a huge scale, were taken from Budapest after its Soviet occupation and dumped in this park. Marx, Stalin, Lenin, all the usual suspects are here.
Look out from the plateau of the paddock and you'll spot an intestinal mess of red, green and blue plastic flumes jutting out on the hillside. This is the Aquarena Water Park and GP2 drivers have been known to skive off briefings so they can race each other down the water slides. After a hot, sweaty day at the track it's the perfect pitstop on the way back to Budapest.

What Made Egg Prices Soar Nearly 42%?
Prices that U.S. companies pay for fresh eggs took flight last month, buoyed by an avian flu outbreak in Mexico.
The producer price index for fresh eggs soared almost 42%, the biggest gain on record, driving broader inflation for food products, the Labor Department said Friday.
A leading reason for the crack up: U.S. farmers are exporting more eggs to Mexico, eating into supplies for American consumers. The United States' southern neighbor has been hit by avian influenza, forcing the slaughter of thousands of chickens.
Fresh egg exports to Mexico for the first four months of 2013 totaled 12.9 million dozen, up sharply from 478,539 dozen for the same period in 2012, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported earlier this month.
"We have been shipping a lot of eggs to Mexico," said Dave Harvey, an economist at the USDA.
Fresh-egg prices tend to be volatile. Unlike meats or poultry, eggs can't be frozen. A chicken lays an egg and it has to be moved to market quickly. That leads to big seasonal price swings when supplies fall or demand rises — for example, around Easter.
Mr. Harvey said the price surge probably won't last. The USDA expects Mexico's egg production to stabilize as the country repopulates its flocks.
Prices have already started to come down from May. In the Northeast, wholesale prices for large eggs were about 87 cents to 91 cents a dozen earlier this month, compared with a high range of $1.25 to $1.29 earlier in May, according to the USDA.

Hi, first post and n00b.
For the time beeing I am living in an apartment with no internett. In the apartment under my is my uncle living, he as wlan. I asked if I could get the key for his wlan, he responded: "If you can guess it, I will give you access".
So I though I would use BT4 to aid me in "guessing" his key... but he uses WPA encryption, and the wordlists I have tried so far has not given me any key. And I have tried some pretty large ones( 1.9 gb).
Since I am feeding his cat I have the key to his apartement, and thus his router. I have thought about sticking a pin in the reset button, but then he would notice that I have fiddled with his equipment...
So I was thinking: is there any way of finding his router user/password when I am wired to his router. It is a wrt54g v7 router btw.
Hope you can help me "beat" my uncle.

Enteral nutrition, also known as tube feeding, is a way of delivering nutrition directly to your stomach or small intestine. Your doctor might recommend tube feeding if you can't eat enough to get the nutrients you need.
When tube feeding occurs outside the hospital, doctors refer to it as home enteral nutrition. A home enteral nutrition care team can teach you how to feed yourself through a tube and provide support when you encounter problems.
Home enteral nutrition might be recommended if you have difficulty eating, but your digestive system works normally. Examples include:
Feeding tubes deliver liquid nutrition directly to your stomach or small intestine. Options may include:
Which tube is best for you will depend on your situation. Discuss your options with your health care provider.

Ok, I am a new member and I have joined to get feedback on this question I am stuck on. I am sure there will be more questions to follow as I explore Buddhism further. I hope I have posted in the right place.
Radiant inner peace is dependent on the realisation that my inner being is immortal. How is this a certainty? Isn't this a belief based on faith? How do I know this concept of 'rebirth' is true? I thought that Buddhism is not a religion and does not require any faith?

Marsh Named Offensive Freshman of the Year, BC Has Four All-SAC SelectionsNovember 13, 2012
Watts, Gruber and Velazquez named All-SAC
Rock Hill, S.C. – Quarterback Jaquan Marsh has been named Offensive Freshman of the Year, while the Tornados have four All-SAC selections as announced by the league office on Tuesday.
Marsh rushed for 356 yards and three touchdowns in eight games this season in BC's option attack. He added 120 yards and a touchdown through the air.
Eric Watts was a first-team pick at both tight end and punter this season for BC. Watts led the SAC in punting average with 43.29 yards per punt, which was sixth in all of Division II. Watts hauled in 316 receiving yards and three touchdowns while drawing double coverage from opponents for much of the season.
Sophomore Michael Gruber was selected as a first-team linebacker after setting a Brevard College single-season record with 117 tackles this season. Gruber also had two interceptions, four-and-a-half tackles-for-loss and a forced fumble.
Andrew Velazquez rounded out Brevard's All-SAC selections, earning a spot as a second-team offensive lineman.
This season marked the first time in SAC history that voting for both of the conference's Player of the Year awards ended in ties. Carson-Newman quarterback Brandon Haywood and Wingate wide receiver Chris Bowden were selected as co-Offensive Players of the Year, while Mars Hill defensive lineman Troy Harris and Catawba linebacker Cory Johnson were picked as the co-Defensive Players of the Year.
Haywood was one of the nation's top dual-threat quarterbacks in 2012, amassing 958 passing yards and 837 rushing yards during the regular season for the Eagles, who earned a selection to the NCAA Division II Football Championship after going 8-2 overall. Haywood led the conference with 14 rushing touchdowns and added seven more through the air.
Bowden, meanwhile, put together one of the most prolific seasons by a receiver in conference history, setting a league record with 1,343 yards in 2012. He tied for second in Division II by averaging 9.64 receptions per game and ranked third in the nation in receiving yards per game with an average of 122.09. The senior also scored nine touchdowns.
On the defensive side, Harris ranked third in the league with five sacks, third in fumble recoveries with two and 10th in tackles with 84, leading a Mars Hill unit that ranked third in the conference in total defense.
Johnson was the SAC's top tackler in 2012, finishing with 130 for the Indians. He also added five tackles for-loss, two forced fumbles and a sack this season.
After going 8-2 overall and 6-1 in the SAC, Lenoir-Rhyne had a league-best seven players earn first-team All-Conference selections. L-R's offense, which led the nation in rushing during the regular season, was represented on the First Team by running back Jarrod Spears and offensive lineman Kaleb Myrick.
The Lenoir-Rhyne defensive unit – which ranked first in the SAC in scoring defense and second in total defense – had five first-team selections in defensive lineman Brandon Martin, linebackers Tanner Botts and Demetrius Green, and defensive backs Michael Green and Myer Nolan. Demetrius Green was the SAC Defensive Player of the Year in 2011.
Led by Haywood, Carson-Newman had nine All-SAC selections, including five on the First Team. In addition to Haywood, the C-N offense was represented on the First Team by running back Brandon Baker, offensive lineman Kevin Day and kicker Curt Duncan. The Eagles were the nation's No. 2 rushing offense during the regular season.
Defensive lineman DeShon Collins, who anchored the C-N defense, also earned first-team honors.
Catawba and Tusculum both placed eight student-athletes on the All-SAC Team, including three first-team picks for the Indians and two for the Pioneers.
Joining Johnson on the First Team from Catawba were defensive back Jumal Rolle and return specialist L.J. McCray. Rolle led the SAC and tied for 10th in Division II with six interceptions in 2012.
Tusculum's first-team picks were long snapper Skylar West and defensive back Luke Harris.
Mars Hill and Wingate – which both went 5-2 in SAC play this season – each had seven All-SAC selections.
MHC placed five on the First Team in Harris, wide receiver Dimitri Holmes, running back Shaikel Davis, offensive lineman Nick Allison and defensive lineman Mam Nyang. Davis led the SAC in rushing in 2012 with 1,173 yards, while Holmes – last season's SAC Offensive Freshman of the Year -- ranked third in the league and 15th in Division II with 992 receiving yards.
Joining Bowden on the First Team from Wingate was offensive lineman Joseph So.
Newberry had five All-SAC picks, led by first-team honorees LeQuawn James at offensive lineman, Corey Washington at wide receiver and Apollo Stretch at linebacker. Stretch completed his final year for the Wolves ranked sixth in the SAC in tackles with 103 and ninth in interceptions with two.
Voting for the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, which recognizes the top offensive lineman in the conference, also ended in a tie this season, going to Lenoir-Rhyne's Myrick and Carson-Newman's Day.
L-R head coach Mike Houston, who led his team to its first NCAA Football Championship selection in program history, was picked as the SAC Coach of the Year. He shared the award with Mars Hill's Tim Clifton last season.
Rounding out the SAC's major individual awards was Defensive Freshman of the Year Jarvis Neal from Carson-Newman.
Neal finished the regular season with 28 tackles and two sacks at the defensive lineman position for C-N.
The All-SAC Team and each of the conference's major individual awards are voted on by the league's head coaches.

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
I had two of these on my keychain for ages until I lost my keychain. Oh my, I had far too much fun sipping them on my fingers and pretending to dance on the table and got many strange looks for it. But you know what? It's fun. These are great keychains, and I recommend buying two because you may end up having a finger be sad to dance alone. I should probably blush for admitting this. Just have fun with it.

LOVE THE KEYCHAIN. I HAVE A BUNCH NOW. CAN'T WAIT BUY MORE. wish they came with ribbons and elastic so it made it look like a real pointe shoe. good-bye
I got this from a dance store owner as a gift once, and I love it so much. OI have a huge key chain collection, and I just stuck t on there. I was thinking about putting it on my dance bag, but I really don't have anywhere to put it. I think this would make the perfect gift for any aspiring ballet dancer.
This is a cute little keychain, and I had it on my dance bag for a while, then the ribbon that held it on broke. I ended up gluing it on a sculpture I was making at the time. =p
I love this. It is so cute! It shows my personality too because I love pointe! Also, amidst all the big black dance bags, it helps me to spot my bag.
I love it on my dance bag, it looks so cute! It really looks like an exact mini replica of a point shoe which must be why it's a tad pricey. I like the color, it's realistic but having other options would be pretty cool. It's a little bigger than I expected which is good.
This shoe only comes in the pointe shoe pink color.- DDS Customer Service (04/15/2013)
Pink only, though you could dye a variety of colors. - Dancinggoddess (06/15/2013)
