Department of Labor
Employment Standards Administration Wage and Hour Division Washington, D.C. 20210
April 24, 1996 Dear Name*,
This is in response to your request for an opinion with respect to the application of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) and the implementing regulations, 29 CFR Part 825, to probationary teachers who take unpaid leave subject to FMLA. I regret that the volume of work associated with administering FMLA has delayed this response. Statements made in this letter with regard to the applicable collective bargaining agreement (CBA) or provisions of state law are not meant as interpretations but rather as summaries to frame our response. We will assume that there are no questions with regard to the FMLA issues of employer coverage, employee eligibility, and whether the reason for the leave is covered by FMLA. Illinois State law provides in part that a "teacher who has been employed in any district as a full-time teacher for a probationary period of 2 consecutive school terms shall enter upon contractual continued service unless given written notice of dismissal stating the specific reason therefore, by certified mail, return receipt requested, by the employing board at least 60 days before the end of such period." The CBA provides that, should a teacher experience a "break in service" during this probationary period before either being recommended for reemployment for the second year or contractual continued service or tenure after the second year, the teacher will return to work the following year as a first year probationary teacher and be required to complete two years of uninterrupted service. A break in service for this purpose would include any period of unpaid leave. Your specific concern is whether a probationary teacher who takes FMLA-qualifying leave that would otherwise be considered a break in service as defined in the CBA can be returned to work as a first year probationary teacher without violating FMLA's provisions for restoration to an equivalent position with equivalent employment benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment. After carefully reviewing your questions and comments, it is the position of the Department that a probationary teacher who takes a period of unpaid leave subject to FMLA may not be required, upon returning to work, to begin the probationary period again. To do so would result in an employee losing an earned benefit that accrued prior to when the leave began, contrary to FMLA. Section 2614(a) of FMLA requires, in part, that an employee who has taken FMLA leave must be returned to either the same position or an equivalent position with equivalent employment, benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment. This section also requires that the taking of FMLA leave shall not result in the loss of any employment benefit accrued prior to the date the leave began. A position as a first-year probationary employee is not equivalent to a position as a second-year probationary employee because additional time must be served before being granted tenure and whatever privileges attend thereto. Prior to beginning leave, the employee had accrued at least one year of service towards the completion of the two-year probationary period. Returning to a position as a first-year probationary employee constitutes the loss of this benefit. With respect to the limitation in this section that the employee is not entitled to accrue seniority during any leave period, our interpretation does not require the accrual of any additional seniority or employment benefit during the period of unpaid leave; it prevents the loss of those benefits already earned. You also ask about the application of section 2618(e) that provides in part that restorations of eligible employees of local educational agencies or private elementary or secondary schools shall be made on the basis of established school board policies and practices, private school policies and practices, and collective bargaining agreements. Section 825.604 of the regulations points out, in part, that any restoration under such policies or practices "must provide substantially the same protections as provided in the Act for reinstated employees." Section 825.215, the section regarding the restoration of employees generally under FMLA, is specifically referenced. Having to return to a position as a first year probationary employee would be less protection than otherwise provided in FMLA for reinstated employees.

You also ask that if we determine that the use of unpaid leave does not permit the reclassification of the individual as a first year employee can the probationary period be extended for one additional school term. In this particular situation, our answer would be no. It appears that the attaining of contractual continued service is based on an employee's anniversary date, not the accumulation of a certain number of hours or days of work, and the current CBA recognizes certain situations wherein a probationary employee who takes unpaid leave would still attain contractual continued service status after the end of the second year. Were the system based on the completion of a certain number of hours or days worked, however, the employer could delay granting contractual continued service by an amount reflecting the amount of unpaid FMLA leave. This is similar to the interpretation of FMLA the Department takes with respect to production bonuses and pensions as stated in sections 825.215(c)(2) and (d)(4), respectively. I will be glad to address any further concerns you may have if the above has not been fully responsive. Sincerely, Howard B. Ostmann Office of Enforcement Policy Family and Medical Leave Act Team

text: The Voice UK is a British television talent show created by John de Mol and based on the concept The Voice of Holland. It began its eleven-week run in March 2012 on BBC One. The current judging panel consists of Sir Tom Jones, will.i.am, Kylie Minogue, and Ricky Wilson whilst Danny O'Donoghue and Jessie J have recently announced their departures to focus on their music careers. Reggie Yates and Holly Willoughby served as presenters for the first two series, with Emma Willis and Marvin Humes to present the show from the upcoming third series. The show involves artists drawn from public auditions, and is part of The Voice franchise. It is produced by Shed Media's Wall to Wall as well as Dutch production company Talpa Productions. The BBC won a "bidding war" with ITV, paying £22 million for the rights to broadcast the show in the UK for two years. ITV's Britain's Got Talent launched its sixth series on the same date of 24 March 2012. Many media outlets saw this move as a deliberate attempt by ITV to create a "TV ratings war" with the BBC. There are four different stages to the show: producers' auditions, blind auditions, battle phase and live shows. Producers' auditions for participants began in October 2011 with five events in London, two events in Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, and Cardiff, and one event in Belfast. The blind auditions were held at the BBC Television Centre and broadcast for the first four weeks of the series. The battle phase was broadcast over two nights during the weekend of 21–22 April. The winner of The Voice UK will receive £100,000 and a record deal with Universal Republic.

We're not restricted to one console line, as in this series PS3 vs. Xbox One, Xbox 360 vs. PS4, PS3 vs. PS4, and Xbox 360 vs. Xbox One graphics comparisons are all fair game. We post up decent in-game and some in-engine cinematic shots of both games, and we leave the decision all to you as to which game looks better."
Proper HD resolution images have been added per feedback from users.
Seriously where do you get these screen shots from? These are damn awful and compressed to death especially KZ:SF. Doesn't do either real justice.
KZ:SF - https://pbs.twimg.com/media... http://www.abload.de/img/po...
Halo 4 - http://s.pro-gmedia.com/vid... http://s.pro-gmedia.com/vid...
More KZ:SF --> http://www.neogaf.com/forum...
Halo 4 --> http://www.videogamer.com/x...
Killzone rapes Halo always in the graphics department. But never in the gameplay department. At best it has equaled Halo(Killzone 2) and that was only once. I find Halo 4 to be below the rest of the halo's too though(Yeah even with better graphics :/ ). And won't be surprised if Halo 5 is.
Edit - Killzone 2 was the only Killzone with that feeling. Killzone 3 and SF through it away. GG admitted to it. Because casual cod players didn't like that feeling. GG have really lost their minds with what they're up too now. Although it's not surprising. Instead of adding some new to killzone they added bullet time and seeing through walls. Slow clap for them.
I prefer Killzone's game play, but they're very different games. Tribes was Halo before Halo and it still plays better, IMO.
halo is obvously inferior to SF...
but not KZ 2 lol no.
even though KZ 2 is prolly the best fps of the last gen
I'd disagree. I just like the realistic, heavy feel of Killzone
Do you mean superior, not inferior?
Halo Reach IMO was more impressive visually than killzone.
I'm pretty sure those killzone screenshots on his page are not the final retail graphics.
Never seen Halo 4 but Halo Reach and Halo 3 were two of the worst graphics of last generation in comparison to highly rated games.
Some other bad looking last gen games were:
Saints Row
A better comparison would be COD or BF of last generation to Kilzone.
>Killzone rapes Halo always in the graphics department but never in the gameplay department.
and yet Halo 4's MP is basically dead right now. heh
I honestly don't understand halo's appeal. I've always hated it whenever I played it. The environments seem empty, the graphics are OK, and the gameplay is horendous. People literally never die in multiplayer.
Halo rely way WAY too much on aim assist for me, everything is sticky when they cross your reticle.
Killzone in no way rapes Halo. Killzone has had many opportunities to be a great FPS games and has missed that every time. Where they went wrong was when they called Killzone 1 the halo killer. You never want to compare your games with a master piece or it will hunt you forever. The designs and graphics of KZ are alway good even KZ1 for being a PS2 game, but we're they fall short are on gameplay, voice acting and multiplayer. And believe me I always have hopes for this franchise. I've played every KZ hoping that it will come close to How fun Halo is but you can't replace the one that started it all. It just like God of War, how many have try to copy them and always fail. Stay away from the masters path.
This article is stupid. I played them both through 2x each and the multi extensively. Wasnt a big fan of either sp, but gameplay wise, I like halo sp story and SF multi.
Graphics wise...don't spend time looking at screenshots of different gens. Play them and u will realize that it isn't even a discussion. Killzone Shadowfall is one of the best looking next gen console games to date. Yeah, halo 4 looked good on the 360 but lets hav this discussion when halo 5 releases. Though one of the ppl resposible for halo 4's good looks now works for Naughty Dog!
Im so sick of screen shot comparisons screen shit never count u dont see it in motion and when u do see it in motion thats when u see all the jaggies from the AA and the true graphics. I can take a screenshot of one of the oldest games and itl make it look good.
Learn WHO called KZ 1 a Halo killer, come back again ;)
I like KZ more than Halo, it's a more grounded sci-fi approach imho.
BUT one thing which KZ really lacks: Coop SP!
So much fun playing Halo with a buddy next to you!
OT: Yeah, let's compare games from two different gens! -.-"
If you want to show the improvements, compare it to KZ3...
HALO rapes KZ in every department last and new gen hands down. but by the way this article its stupid.
Says the kid that has never played KZ obviously.
Which of those screen shots are actually CGI?
Not any of its art desighn,it dose not..killzone has great graphics but like many comments about it,its been called a grey fest,ugly,and dull looking.K SF looks amazing and did a better job this time with its style especially in like the forest level but it still dose not have 343s talent in making the games scenery look amazing like halo 4s levels.It never game me any jaw droppin moments like halo 4 or other halos did.
sigh.. Halo fans are as bad as Nintendo fans. All they do is say "Halo rapes ________" without any facts. Debating with kids are the worst.
why is this comparison even surfaced? Halo 4 is not even the best looking game last gen and it even looks inferior compared to KZ2/KZ3. and suddenly comparison to KZSF seems warranted? Halo has its great side, sure, but graphic is NOT one of it!
IdK I feel like shadow fall hit the sweet spot gameplay wise for me of the 4.
KillZone's graphics were good but there is nothing new in the game we haven't seen before sadly it's average at best graphics are brilliant but we want new gameplay .
Halo 4 graphics are no where close. Killzone 3 graphics on the ps3 blows them away. As far as halos gameplay, that game was only good when there were no other fps out there to play. The only people keeping that franchise going are kids.
I've played all of Halo games, and I've played Killzone. I personally like Killzone better. It's not overly hyped compared to Halo. Just my opinion. I actually enjoyed KZ's campaign a lot. They brought a LOT of new gameplay stuff that I've never seen or played before. Perfect example is the falling maps. It was EPIC.
But hey, that's just my two cents. ;)
To be consistent, 1280x720 screenshots were used for both games.
Let's take an advantage one side has and completely disregard it so that it looks more like the other one...sweet logic bro.
karamsoul, that's a pathetic excuse. To be consistent? You're comparing a previous generation of technology to the current generation. You don't do a comparison of an old vhs copy of star wars to a bluray version and dumb it down. This certainly will be the last of your posts that I read.
I'll switch em up. Thanks for the feedback.
This isnt a proper comparison if one of the games is in a smaller resution than it should be. That's like taking the turbo out of a car in a street race because the other cars don't have one.
I just inspected the screenshots from the article and Hillzone's ones are 1080p resolution. Halo's are 720p. I like halo but, it doesn't beat Killzone: SF in graphics. Not sure about other aspects of the game but i'll find out when i get my PS4. (When i manage to get one :/) Stop trolling and go back to 9gag.
I can't wait to see Contra NES vs. KZ:SF PS4
If you are gonna compare something then Compare KZ:Sf to BF4 PS4
No comparison. Contra is way more fun than any KZ
The Halo series hasn't been exceptional graphics wise since TWO generations ago. What a dumb comparison.
A better comparison would have been KZ3 and KZ:SF.
Here you go:
Killzone is the only FPS where i can play online and do well, COD just sucks with campers and BF series has a huge learning curve
Never tried halo so can't give my honest opinion. KZ2 and Resistance 2-8 player co-op are the best FPS online games i have played last gen
i am mostly into single player games
You are all clearly missing the point here. A game looking better is not about how each texture pops in the character or environments. As a fan of both franchises. All of you don't realize that developers have to fit as much as they can in a game with the hardware they have. So comparing KZSF and H4 are terrible but comparing it to KZ2&3 and H4 are more appropriate.
I personally think Halo looks more impressive, even though Killzone has better texture and detail, any game could look better if all you have to do is fit so much detail into basically a corridor shooter. Halo has much more open environments in comparison, way more enemies on screen, vehicles that are air and ground, 4 player co-op, etc. All of these factors take away from a texture or two that could go into the game, but these factors make a game more impressive to me visually because it has to accomplish all of these tasks while at the same time trying to look good and add as much detail doing it. So of course Killzone is going to look better in terms of detail, it doesn't have to perform any of the tasks I mentioned above about Halo. I'm pretty sure Killzone would lag pretty badly if it had as much going on on-screen as Halo did while trying to maintain the visuals it has. Killzone just lacks to much in variety just to look good. I would much rather drive a vehicle, play co-op, and have forge mode rather than some good looking character models. Anyone would agree that is a better experience.
I like Killzone and have almost every trophy but I don't love it as much as Halo. The Halo universe is so big and there is so much to do in Halo compared to Killzone. That's what makes Halo a much more overall and impressive experience.
On a technical level
Killzone > Halo 4
On a graphical level
You either like it or not the look&Feel of Killzone, i personally don´t because my assoziation with the Franchise-Killzone is this :
and certainly not this futuristic approach in SF
Halo 4 looks astonishing for current-gen, I can only imagine what 343i will achieve on the Xbox One.
I still wonder how they managed to put that much detail into the enemies on a system running on less than 512 mb ram.
texture streaming my man. texture streaming. nothing more to it.
Apparently they had one of the best programmers in the business, so that helped a lot with the graphics. Sad news is that she left 343i, the good news is that she went to Naughty Dog. But don't expect the next halo game to look too amazing in terms of graphics, but that doesnt stop me from getting excited about the next Halo
Corrinne Yu, is your answer. She's now at Naughty Dog.
You win some, you lose some.
Not much since Corrine Yu jumped over to Naughty Dog.
You do realize she would of complete the new engine for Halo 5 since she would of been working on it for at least a year now not to mention 1 employee out of the 343 at 343i which consist of Naughty Dog employees as well is hardly a dent on Halo 5.
No dispute on the engine work, but hardly a dent is severly under appreciating her work. You must not understand the significance of her work at 343. All that is praised of Halo 4 graphics was a direct reflection of what she has accomplished.
On lighting alone, MS filed a software patent based on the techniques that she was applying to Halo 4.
That is a big time loss. she is considered the best if not the best engine builder on the planet.
Why does this exist? Let's forget about the vast graphical gap between the titles for a second. No conclusion was reached. No article was written. He posted photos and a title for hits. Ban this crap!
This piece is categorized as "screenshot", NOT opinion or article.
Look, I understand. I get it as I took this submission's title and went, "who does this? Is this a joke?"
I know you won't agree with me and that is fine, and maybe part of me still wants to believe in honesty and integrity so I will understand my disagrees. Maybe that makes me naive... However, I just wonder if maybe, JUST MAYBE, this author Was a fan of both games and genuinely comparing the two in a POSITIVE light. That really IS possible.
It really is.
People will be disappointed with nextgen if all they care about is graphics. It's not the leap forward people think it should be.
Racing games on Dreamcast still look good compared to the latest forza. They can do nice things with particle effects and physics now and there is more environment interaction. That will continue. But a car is a car.
Merry Christmas. Who is winning the fantasy league
You too man. Degeneral looks to win with Jamaal Charles scoring crazy numbers every week. I ended in 4th place. We'll make sure you're in it next year!
This guy is a complete joke. First the completely unscientific comparison between TLOU and DR3 (he's illogical reasoning being that both games have 'zombies'), now this.
Why not compare killzone:SF to a last gen game with a similar scope and art direction... I dunno... something like KILLZONE 3 for Christs sake!!!
How can you get an accurate representation of the generation shift when you keep compairing totally unrelated titles? Again, this guy is a joke.
Next, let's compare Resogun to Mass Effect 3. Why not? They both have space ships!
How do you compare the graphics of an open world game to that of a more linear based one ? logically TLOU would have better visuals.
Not to mention the open world game has several hundreds of procedurally generated enemies onscreen at once.... Nope, the fact that both games have zombie-like enemies makes those points invalid...
DR3 and TLoU are both 3rd person survival games. KZ and halo are both 1st person shooters... How are they not related?
And they have compared KZ: SF to KZ3:
Man, anyone who knows ANYTHING about game design would understand the technical reasons why these are invalid comparisons. The genre of the game is not what determines it's potential graphical output. It's the scope.
Why would you compare a linear corridor shooter to an open world game? The features that tax the system are going to differ vastly. Why would you compare character models between a game that has <10 onscreen characters to one that has to deal with >400? Obviously, the one with fewer will have more detailed models. Why compare the textures between a game that loads new ones for every scene, and a game that has to stream them all in on the fly? There are so many reasons why the comparison makes no sense.
The same goes for Halo and Killzone. The scopes of the games are totally different. Killzone has one of the tightest fields-of-view ever in a FPS. That allows for greater detail, as their are less items onscreen at once. It also historically had tighter encounters with fewer enemies at once. Halo's engine had to account for a much wider FOV, as the game is played from the 3rd person perspective much of the time, and with vehicles, characters are moving at much higher rate of speed. There are also many more enemies on screen at once. From a technical standpoint these games are doing completely different things with the hardware.
It just makes so much more sense to compare games that are more technically related of your trying to compare next gen to current gen.
PS: that comparison you posted isn't from SpawnFirst.
Forgot to mention Halo's graphical engine has to allow for four player split screen and dynamic physics. There's simply no logical reason to compare these two graphical engines.
overall quality
Dependes,halo has larger scenarios, more AI on screen, better AI, more vehicles on the screen, and more freedom, so halo game engine is higher, killzone is more linear is normal in visual be better, but technically halo exceeds
Technically sure Halo exceeds. But Killzone looks better -> It has better graphics. Yes Halo has vehicles and a physics engine and has colors, but Killzone was always prettier. And sure that's likely only because Halo had more to render than pretty pictures but there you go.
"Technically sure Halo exceeds"
i guess you dont know much about game engines....
Sound... really?
Probably as in music. It adds a lot of oomph to the cut-scenes.
Game play is subjective! Halo's prime was Halo 2, everything thing after that was just crap! Halo 3 wasn't good, ODST was weak, Reach while an improvement over ODST and 3 still was nothing special, and Halo 4 was pretty but lacking!
Granted KZ2 was also the best in the KZ franchise, as 3 was more COD like, to me, the closest to KZ to in terms of gameplay abd fun factor, Mercenaries on Vita comes the closest, I enjoyed Shadow Fall, but it's missing something from the formula, even with some worthy addition franchise innovations. Multiplayer is still fun. And is over all a solid game, but KZ2 still reigns supreme and Mercenaries is the closest to the KZ2 DNA than the games in the franchise that came after KZ2.
Hold up there buddy. I got to beg to differ on your statement. Play on the hardest level on Halo 4. The Covenant on Halo 4 was fast and lethal The Prometheans were just just as deadly. And I thought CoD was hard.

Well, I've finally finished the first pass of the first part of the new, open source WoW-GPS.
I've just spent most of my morning blasting through the README, so I'm not going to go into too much detail here. You can view the source here: https://github.com/camerontweedle/wow-gps-api-pricing
NOTE: The intended end-user for this part of the project is NOT your average user. This is meant to be used by devs/server admins who would like to run their own, custom pricing API server, either publicly, privately, or locally. As such, it might be a bit too technical for most people, and if you're not familiar with a lot of the prerequisite technology, you'll probably have difficulty getting it up and running. So, if you go and visit that link and have absolutely no idea what's going on, that's ok - this part of the project probably isn't for you.
If you run into technical issues/bugs, please open an issue on Github. If you just have general questions, or would like some more information about what's going on here, feel free to post in this thread.
My ultimate goal is that all realms' historical auction data would end up being served by this application running on a public webserver. The 2 best ways for this to happen would be:
a) Developer(s)/server admin(s) with available server space and time to setup/maintain the application for all or some realms, publicly
b) Server admin(s) with server space but without skills/resources to setup/maintain the application getting in touch with me to see if we can work something out
On a philosophical level, one of the nice things about the pricing API is that there really isn't anything about it it that is WoW-GPS-specific, so ultimately, this application could technically be used in order to provide auction pricing information to ANY application/spreadsheet, etc. I really tried to ensure it stands on its own, so if you're interested in using this API for your own project, etc. feel free to give me a shout and I can walk you through some of the implementation details.
Here's hoping the other 2 parts of the project aren't TOO far behind

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Philadelphia detective has testified about a foul-mouthed bird that helped lead police to the woman charged with abducting a 5-year-old from school.
The girl said she heard a talking bird during the 19 hours she spent blindfolded in a house where she was sexually assaulted.
She also glimpsed the back of the west Philadelphia house before she was abandoned at a park.
Detective Daniel O'Malley testified Friday that he focused on the bird as he worked the case in January 2013.
He said a tip led him to the house where 19-year-old Christina Regusters lived with a loud macaw who cussed out investigators.
Regusters knew the girl from an after-school program where she worked.
Her lawyer has argued that police have the wrong suspect. Regusters' trial resumes next week.

Don't get too bummed. This item is on the way and will be available for purchase as soon as it rolls into the warehouse.
Can't wait? Consider one of the other Women's Tights & Bib Tights we have in stock.View Similar Products
This will be the year.
Don't let cold weather stop you from getting in those base miles. The new Gore 2.0 Thermo Lady Bib Tights are the perfect reason to ride. These insulated bibs feature soft, stretchy thermo fabric on the legs enveloping them in warmth. The brushed thermo fabric keeps your legs warm and dry by wicking away moisture from the skin to the surface of the fabric, where it evaporates. You avoid the chill from wind running through wet fabric. While your heart pumps and you work up a sweat, the mesh inserts on the back also help ventilate to provide core temperature regulation.
Unlike tights designed for men, or the ambiguous unisex fit, these bib tights feature a women's-specific fit that has an x-shaped design with a simple hook closure that lies, friction-free, over the breastbone.

Made me look like a huge black blob!
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs large
These would definitely keep me warm in cold weather. And while I am not too vain, this bib makes me look and feel horrible!!!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Med
I purchased these for Wife, her review is as follows: "My husband and I moved from Southern California to Salt Lake City UT in the middle of winter, and I needed something (anything) that would make being outdoors for more than 15 minutes bearable. I chose these Gore Bibtights, and am so happy I did. I've worn them in 20 degree and as warm as 40 degree weather, and have been very comfortable - no chafing, wind stays out and the touch of hi vis green on the legs helps you stay noticed. I've worn these on several rides with varying distances (20 miles - 70 miles), and have had no discomfort. There is also a bio-break zipper on the waist which saves time and body heat - genius and easy to get tights off/on!"
Hi, I'm similarly looking for somethign warm because I moved from CA to CT. I ordered these but was thinkign to return because they look thin and like they have no roubaix or anything- does your wife relaly manage to stay warm in them for 3 hours of road riding in the 25 - 40 degree range? Does she have other layers or other tights she also has found to be good? Thank yoU!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
I bought these because of the zipper. One too many times of needing to go! When I put them on, the chamois felt very bulky but it was very comfortable on the bike. It was a chilly day; right around 32 degrees, but they kept me toasty warm.

I just wore them for the first time . It was in the upper 30's. They felt soft and super comfortable. The zipper made bathrooms breaks easy and the system worked well. I am sure they will take me down to cooler temps. I am really pleased with my purchase!
Excellent value and kept me warm
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have been layering fleece lined non-chamois windstopper pants over my shorts and the layers were getting bulky and uncomfortable around my waist, plus the pants would sag. The sale price made these a great price point to try. I find they pretty much keep me warm. The front of my thighs would like a little more warmth, but for the most part I am ok. Here in Phoenix, AZ you may not think it gets cold, but for me, at times below 55 F I need some extra warmth. These did the job well. Initiallly, putting them on is similar to other reviews: Tight across chest, larger through thighs than I would like, and the chamois seems too large and diaper like. But, once I got riding I did well. 2 - 2 hour rides with no issues. That is a good thing! The zippers were a little odd, but they work!
What is the difference between these bibtights and the similiar Gore Bike Wear Power 2.0 Reflex Thermo Bib Tights? I own the Reflex version, and would love to know what makes this pair different, as they look exactly the same for me aside from their leg decorations/reflectors. Thanks!
Excellent Value
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These are an excellent pair of bibs. Fit true to size. The brushed fabric feels soft and very comfortable. The chamois works great for me. Not to bulky but still felt great after 3 hours on my bike. They are a bit tight across the chest and I'm only a 32 C. I will be picking up another pair of these.
Effective so far at 46 (F)!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I was so excited to get these bibs. It's my first pair of long bibs. In the past, I have worn tights over my bibs or shorts, and was tired of that. It never worked that well - I felt over-stuffed and stiff. I don't like leg warmers, so this was the next logical step.
I was concerned that these would be too warm, especially when they touted the insulation. So far, not. They were great at 46 (F) with a pretty nice wind and low humidity.
The chamois seems a bit large while off the bike. I think this was the first time I have experienced the "Diaper" feeling that is described by others. The insert was comfortable and not noticeable while riding, though. Perhaps this will improve as it shapes more to me over time. It seemed less dense that the Xenon Sonic Lady in my short bibs, but it wasn't mushy-feeling.
The bibs fit great, except the fabric next to the hook seems to be a bit more compressing on my chest than I would like. That said, while riding, I didn't feel as though my breathing was compromised.
I'm looking forward to trying these in cooler temps and will report later, assuming the snow doesn't start flying soon. Overall, happy with the purchase, but the diaper and the chest fit kept them from five stars for me.
I've worn these bibs several more times, with temps in the 40s and 50s (F). They continue to perform well, and the chamois has indeed shaped more to me, so the "Diaper" effect is no longer an issue.
Looking forward to many more rides with these. They have already extended my cycling season. :-)
Keeps you warm and stays put
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I originally ordered this in a medium, but found it was huge on me. I am 5'2", 130lbs. I exchanged it for a small, but still feel like it is a little roomy, and frankly I am not the type that likes things skin tight. The chamois is on the thin side. I use mostly Castelli shorts and prefer them to this. It is ok on a ride two hours or less, but beyond that I'd prefer a better Chamois.

DUBLIN (AP) — A new Irish Republican Army faction in Northern Ireland claimed responsibility Monday for its first killing and defended the bloodshed as a necessary act of vengeance.
The group, a merger of factions that brands itself as simply the IRA, said in a statement to the Irish News in Belfast its members shot to death David Black this month because he worked as a guard at Northern Ireland's top-security Maghaberry prison.
About 40 members of IRA factions are imprisoned there. The inmates have protested for more than a year against a policy of strip-searching them in search of weapons, drugs and cellphones. They have previously threatened to kill off-duty guards.
Black, 52, was shot as he drove to work on Nov. 1. He had worked as a guard for three decades and expected to retire soon.
He was the first prison officer killed in Northern Ireland since 1993, the year before the dominant anti-British paramilitary group, the Provisional IRA, began an open-ended truce that inspired Northern Ireland's peace process. The Provisionals renounced violence and disarmed in 2005.
The group that claimed Black's killing was formed in July by the merger of three anti-British splinter groups led by former Provisionals who still pursue violence in Northern Ireland. The merger represented an effort by breakaway IRA members to mount a more coherent campaign, given that most of their bombings and shootings fail because of faulty equipment or British intelligence tipoffs.
In the latest such episode, British Army experts dismantled a bomb Monday that had been found in the middle of a road near an elementary school in north Belfast. Police said the bomb had been attached to the underside of the intended victim's car but failed to detonate and instead fell off.
The new group's statement said it had "a responsibility to protect and defend" its imprisoned members. It described the Black killing as a direct response to "the degradation" of prison strip-searching.
The three groups that now constitute the self-styled IRA faction are the Real IRA, Republican Action Against Drugs and Oglaigh na hEireann, the Gaelic equivalent of "IRA."
The Real IRA was responsible for the deadliest bombing in Northern Ireland history: the 1998 car-bomb attack on the town of Omagh that killed 29, mostly women and children. The other factions are of more recent vintage, with the RAAD group focused on targeting criminal rivals in Northern Ireland's second-largest city, Londonderry.
A fourth faction also still committed to violence, the Continuity IRA, has declined to merge.
Sinn Fein, the Irish nationalist party that delivered the Provisionals' disbandment, said today's IRA remnant had no coherent political strategy and should abandon violence too.
Gerry Kelly, a senior Sinn Fein politician and convicted Provisional IRA car bomber, said any fringe IRA factions "cannot deliver a united Ireland," the traditional IRA goal of forcing Northern Ireland out of the United Kingdom and into the Republic of Ireland.
"These groups need to realize that they cannot derail the peace process and their actions will not resolve anything within the jail or in wider society. They are killing for the sake of killing and should stop immediately," he said.
Black's family barred Sinn Fein politicians from attending his funeral. Like most prison officers, he came from the province's British Protestant majority and also was a member of the Orange Order, a conservative Protestant brotherhood that is despised by many Irish Catholics.

Home resales rose in October and a gauge of homebuilder sentiment climbed to a six-year high in November, a sign slow improvements in the labor market are helping the housing sector recovery gain traction.
The National Association of Realtors said on Monday that existing home sales climbed 2.1 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.79 million units, beating forecasts by Wall Street economists.
Continue Reading Below
The data suggests America's recovery from the 2007-09 recession in becoming increasingly self-sustaining, with job creation helping drive home sales, which in turn are supporting economic growth.
"The housing market is continuing to improve. It's probably improving more than most economists were projecting earlier this year," said Patrick Newport, an economist at IHS Global Insight in Lexington, Massachusetts.
However, the data also showed that superstorm Sandy, a mammoth storm that slammed in the U.S. East Coast on October 29, continues to distort economic data in the United States.
The deadly storm had only a slight impact on home resales last month, with sales dropping in the Northeast. But NAR economist Lawrence Yun said the storm could temporarily hold back the pace of sales in November and December.
The storm, which killed more than 130 people in the United States and left millions of homes and businesses without electricity, also lead U.S. factories to cut production in October while consumers pulled back on automobile purchases. Economists, however, think Sandy's impact on the economy will only prove temporary.
The U.S. jobless rate fell four tenths of a point to 7.9 percent in the three months through October, although it remains elevated by historical standards. Many Wall Street economists think economic growth picked up sharply in the third quarter, although growth is expected to moderate in the last three months of the year as businesses and consumers hold back on purchases due to uncertainty over U.S. fiscal policy in 2013.
In October, the median price for a home resale was $178,600, up 11.1 percent from a year earlier as fewer people sold their homes under distressed conditions compared to the same period in 2011. Distressed sales include foreclosures.
The nation's inventory of existing homes for sale fell 1.4 percent during the month to 2.14 million, the lowest level since December 2002.
At the current pace of sales, inventories would be exhausted in 5.4 months, the lowest rate since February 2006.
The price increase last month was measured against October 2011, and since then distressed sales have fallen to 24 percent of total sales from 28 percent.
The share of distressed sales, which also include those where the sales price was below the amount owed on the home, was flat from September.
A separate report showed U.S. homebuilder sentiment rose for a seventh consecutive month in November, hitting its highest level in over six years as demand for new homes increased due to a shrinking supply of distressed and foreclosed inventory.
The National Association of Home Builders said the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market index rose to 46 from 41 the month before. Economists polled by Reuters had predicted the index would remain unchanged. The index was at its highest level since May 2006.
However, the gauge remained below 50, showing that the housing market was still some way off full recovery. Readings below 50 mean more builders view market conditions as poor than favorable. The index has not been above 50 since April 2006.
The measure has made strong progress over the last year, helping to cement optimism in the sector. In November last year it stood at just 19. Housing led the financial crisis of 2008-09 and has been one of the biggest overhangs in the economic recovery.
"Builders are reporting increasing demand for new homes as inventories of foreclosed and distressed properties begin to shrink in markets across the country," said NAHB Chairman Barry Rutenberg in a statement.

Mayor runs boat into rock at night
No injuries in collision
Mayor runs boat into rock at night
No injuries in collision
The longtime mayor of a tourist village on a popular Adirondack lake says no one was hurt when he ran his motor boat into a rock during a nighttime excursion.
Village of Lake George Mayor Robert Blais tells The Post-Star of Glens Falls that he and six passengers were heading home from a restaurant on the northern end of the lake when his 24-foot boat ran aground Saturday night just north of the village.
Blais said the boat sustained some damage but its hull was intact. He said a light used to illuminate a buoy marking the rock at night was out.
The Lake George Park Commission investigated the accident. No tickets were issued.
Blais has been mayor of Lake George since 1971.

Stockton, CA
Emily Edna Prima
Oct. 4, 1923 - Jan. 6, 2013
Emily Edna Passadore Prima passed away on Jan. 6, 2013. Emily was born Oct. 4, 1923, to Maria A.
and Agostino G. Passadore, in their house on Sutter and Grove Streets, in Stockton, CA. This little house was ultimately filled with Emily's nine sisters and one brother. Emily attended Woodrow Wilson Elementary School and graduated from Stockton High School in 1941. She began working as a stenographer/secretary for the US War Department at the Army Ordnance Depot in Stockton, meeting and assisting many high-ranking officers. In 1946, Emily married her handsome and charming love, Richard Caspar Prima, to whom she was devoted even beyond his death in Nov. 2011.
In Dec. 1949, with the birth of her first child, Emily began a 20-year career as a stay-home mother for her seven children. During this time she was ever-active at Annunciation School, supporting in so many ways. In April 1969, she started another 20-year career, taking a job with the Catholic Diocese of San Joaquin, initially working reception and tribunal duties, but soon becoming executive secretary for the Diocese, once again, assisting others-the priests, monsignors and bishops of the Diocese. Emily retired from the Diocese in 1989, but remained busy, creative and helpful to others until her final days.
Emily will never be forgotten by anyone who met her. Being second of eleven children, and with seven of her own, Emily spent her life raising children-always time and love for a baby, a child, a teenager, an adult. Her precision and creativity in cooking, knitting, sewing and crochet were inspiring. Emily's hands touched so many lives, so many taste buds; her handmade baby items, cancer beanies, afghans, burlap tote bags and doll clothes are dear to people far and wide. Anyone who entered her home remembers the delicious fragrances and tastes-the focaccia, panettone, frittata. She had the greenest thumb, for many years the "Plant Booth Lady," at the Annunciation Festival. She forever made new friends-including new ones in her final days at Plymouth Square. She always remembered old friends-knew everyones birthday and favorite flavor or color. We will all cherish our "Noni slippers," scarves, afghans, coasters, scrunchies, baby booties, and special Italian treats.
Emily was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her sisters, Marie Snyder, Dorothy Mariani May Cima, and one son, Anthony Prima. She is survived by sisters Natalie Lopez and Anna Thomas of Stockton, Rose Nunes of Manteca, Theresa Mariani, Ada Gall, June Milano, and brother, Francesco-Frank-Passadore, all of Stockton. Her surviving children are Richard Prima, Jr. (Marilyn),
of Lodi, Stephanie Prima-Sarantopulos (Jeffry), of Friday Harbor, WA, Lisa Cunningham (Mark), Stockton, Christopher
Prima, Applegate, Teresa Morley (Dan), Pleasanton, and Margaret Verbeck (Rod), of Orange. Further, she is survived by her grandchildren, William and Lindsey McHenry, Ben and Molly Prima, Todd and Brian Sarantopulos, Charles, Cedric and Annamarie Cunningham, Frank and Marie Morley, and Crystal Prima-Lang, as well as four great-grand-daughters, Lauren, Allesandra, Delaney and Emily Sarantopulos. Additional survivors include Judy Prima, Suzan Prima-Lang, many beloved nieces and nephews of the Passadore and Kaeslin families, and so many dear friends in her Annunciation prayer group.
A Mass of the Christian Burial will honor Emily at the Cathedral of the Annunciation, 1110 N. Lincoln St., on Friday, Jan. 11, 2013 at 12 noon. Immediately following will be Burial at the San Joaquin Catholic Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Annunciation School Tuition Assistance, 1105 Lincoln St., Stockton, CA 95201. There will be visitation at DeYoung Memorial Chapel, 601 N. California St., Stockton, CA, Thursday, Jan. 10. from 12 noon to 4:00 p.m.

STOCKTON - As a kindergarten teacher last year in San Diego, Danielle Munro says she could tell right away.
STOCKTON - As a kindergarten teacher last year in San Diego, Danielle Munro says she could tell right away.
Without having to ask, she could always guess which children had attended preschool and which ones hadn't.
The preschool alums, she said, were prepared for "the daily routines, following directions, letter recognition and social interactions." The children who hadn't attended preschool often weren't.
Now back in her hometown of Stockton, the 29-year-old Munro teaches in the First 5 San Joaquin preschool program at Lincoln Elementary. About 17,000 very young children and their families in San Joaquin County are served by First 5 school readiness and preschool programs.
Last week, First 5 San Joaquin released a five-year study of the children it serves, research that provides support for those who believe early childhood programs provide major benefits. The report found the First 5 programs - which target those from low-income and second-language backgrounds - not only prepare children for the increased academic rigor of kindergarten but also boost the emotional and social skills of those who are served.
"If you don't have (the behavioral skills), you're never going to get to that achievement part," First 5 Commissioner Gary Dei Rossi said at the study's unveiling last week. "To see that you can have an effect, especially for low-income kids, is really significant. I think some of the violence we're seeing in society, we could stop that if we just invested early."
First 5 San Joaquin provides school readiness programs to children ages 0-2 and their families, as well as preschool to children ages 3-5. A San Francisco-based research firm was engaged by First 5 to study the short- and long-term benefits to children from both groups from 2007 to 2012.
In one portion of the study, the academic performance of First 5 children was compared to a group of students who did not attend First 5 programs. Demographically, more First 5 attendees were from low-income or second-language backgrounds than was the case for the non-First 5 children.
Yet it was the third-graders attending the First 5 programs who tended to perform better on standardized math and English tests. Similarly, 86 percent of the First 5 English learners who took the California English Language Development Test scored "intermediate" or better - nine percentage points better than the children from the comparison group. Additionally, the data indicate parents become more involved in their children's schooling if their children are in the First 5 programs.
Lani Schiff-Ross, the executive director of First 5 San Joaquin, said the study was conducted "to see if the impact and the investments in preschool and First 5 were effective ... and to see what we can learn from this."
In addition to the encouraging academic results, the programs appear to provide emotional, behavioral and health benefits. Participating families are referred for medical, dental and vision care, and among the lessons learned by the children is the need for frequent hand-washing. That means fewer germs are delivered home by grubby toddlers to be spread among entire families.
Lincoln Elementary operates morning and afternoon preschool sessions, three hours each with 20 children and two teachers. In the mornings, Munro is the lead teacher with an assist from Lindsey Williams. The two swap roles for the afternoon session. Help sometimes is provided by Lincoln High students who are studying child development.
The classroom is packed with floor puzzles, posters teaching the alphabet and colors, and a large terrarium that is home to a rather hefty turtle. Friday morning was all about Dr. Seuss. Munro showed the children how to make a tall red and white hat. The treat for the morning was of the same color scheme, a combination of strawberries and marshmallows.
"They're learning," said Gianna Cummins, whose 4-year-old son, Giancarlo, attends a Lincoln Unified First 5 preschool. "They're learning the skill of friendship. You can't learn that from sitting your child in front of the TV."
Schiff-Ross said First 5 plans to extend its research for one more year to get additional data. Asked if there was any chance of tracking First 5 alums through high school graduation, she said, "If we could find some funding, we would actually love that."

NEW YORK (AP) — The darker side of mid-20th-century Hollywood glamour found movie stars struggling to retain their identities and souls despite the iron grip of the all-powerful studio and publicity machines. Perversions and crimes that would reflect badly on their wholesome public images were routinely covered up for the sake of the studios' revenues.
Being true to oneself is a key issue in Clifford Odets' dark play, "The Big Knife," written in 1948 during the flush of postwar success, when America's focus turned toward capitalism. A strong, noirish production starring Bobby Cannavale opened Tuesday night on Broadway, presented by Roundabout Theatre Company.
Doug Hughes stages repeated dynamic moments during the period drama, smartly retaining much of Odets' stilted yet colorful dialogue. The more seasoned cast members relish their opportunities to melodramatically sneer, flounce and bluster as required.
Odets' popular early plays promoted social justice, including "Waiting for Lefty," and "Awake and Sing!" His drama "Golden Boy" about a violinist drawn to the big money of boxing, enjoyed a Broadway revival earlier this season. "The Big Knife" hasn't been produced as much as those plays, but the fine ensemble in this Roundabout production brings new life to the age-old story of artists trapped by the glitter of commercial success.
Cannavale charismatically portrays flashy, popular leading man Charlie Castle, who feels ensnared by his success as a cartoonish action-adventure performer. Cannavale sensitively enacts Charlie's inner doubts about how he may have sold his soul to the devil in exchange for fame and fortune, while reciting Odets' overblown language with increasing brio.
Charlie ruefully refers to himself in the third person, as when he tells his estranged wife, "Listen, monkey, I know I'm a mechanical, capering mouse. But Charlie Cass is still around in dribs and drabs — don't you think he'd like to do a fine play every other year? Don't you think I want our marriage to work?"
Richard Kind gives a dynamic performance as mega-maniacal studio executive Marcus Hoff. To Hoff, manipulating his employees' lives is his perfect right, and even ordering a murder to protect his interests is all in a day's work. Kind forcefully imbues Hoff with unctuous, impassioned self-confidence and a callous disregard for humanity.
Marin Ireland has a difficult role as Charlie's brutally frank, emotionally exhausted wife Marion. Ireland is so naturalistic an actress that she can't always pull off the artifice in the dialogue, as when calling Charlie "Husband dear" or "Handsome." However, she's quite moving and effective when Marion is speaking honestly with her husband.
The excellent supporting cast includes Brenda Wehle, a malevolent delight as scandal-sniffing gossip columnist Patty Benedict. Joey Slotnick brings underlying despair to the role of Buddy Bliss, Charlie's nervous but loyal publicity manager. Chip Zien warmly enacts Nat Danziger, a sincere, longtime father figure to Charlie and Marion, while Reg Rogers wears a smarmy air as ironically-named Smiley Coy, who executes Hoff's every controlling whim.
The dark secret hidden by Charlie and his various handlers dominates the final, melodramatic scenes, when Charlie ruminates bleakly, "This whole movie thing is a murder of the people."
Adding to the general air of decadence are Ana Reeder, exuding heat as Buddy's voluptuous, immoral wife, and Rachel Brosnahan as a naively impudent, blackmailing starlet. C.J. Wilson makes a brief but notable appearance as Marion's solid, idealistic lover, and Billy Eugene Jones is discreetly effective as a loyal servant to the Castles.
Odets was a left-wing New Yorker eventually transplanted to Hollywood, where he churned out scripts within the Hollywood studio system. While he surely enjoyed skewering the power and immorality of studio executives in "The Big Knife," he also probably heard about some real-life scandals that may inform this cynical play.
John Lee Beaty's set is an elegantly handsome, airy Los Angeles living space, and Catherine Zuber's often-glamorous dresses and sharp suits add to the glossy period atmosphere. "Try to be happy — this isn't a Russian novel," Charlie playfully tells Buddy. But by the dramatic conclusion, it's clear that Odets' script was informed both by sensational tabloid headlines and the tragic hubris found in great Russian literature.

127 players attended the 30th London Open, held again at ISH, Great Portland Street and successfully run by Geoff Kaniuk and the others from CLGC. The main tournament was again a major in the Toyota-Pandanet European Go Tour and had an exciting climax. After 7 rounds top players with 6 wins were Dutch student Emil Nijhuis and 12 year old Li Shen who lives in London. They had already played each other (Li beat Emil), so had to play others on lower scores. If they lost it was a four-way tie. In fact they did. Emil to France's Lionel Fischer by a half point and Li to Chinese player Wenhao Li. So after SOS tie-break the order was: 1. Wenhao Li (5 dan China), 2. Emil Nijhuis (6 dan NL), 3. Radek Nechanicky (6 dan CZ), 4. Li Shen (5 dan China) all on 6 wins; 5. Ning Li (6 dan USA), 6= Benjamin Tauber (5 dan DE) and Lionel Fischer (4 dan FR), 8. Matthew Cocke (5 dan UK), 9. T.Mark Hall (4 dan UK) all on 5 wins; 10. Young Kim (5 dan UK). Players on 7 wins out of 8 were Dominic Schuhmacher (9 kyu CH), Janne Jalkanen (4 kyu SF) and with 6 wins: Hichem Aktouche (12 kyu FR), Thomas Pototschnig (6 kyu DE), Uwe Glauch (4 kyu DE), Esa Seuranen (2 kyu SF), Per Schachter (1 dan DK). All winning 6 or more got a wooden go stone and all players on 5 wins got a certificate; from the UK: Tim Hunt (3 dan), Jim Sadler (1 dan), Jiri Keller (3 kyu) and Ron Bell (4 kyu). Furthest traveled prize went to David Frankel (1 kyu) from the USA. Ken Dackombe got the youngest player prize.
There were 5 winners of the 24 player Pair Go (doubles) played on 29/12/03: Michael Marz / Manuela Lindemeyer, Jasmin Grossmann / Tobias Klaus, Madeleine Roth / Benjamin Teuber, William Brooks / Hichem Aktouche, Thomas Pototschnig / Dominic Schumacher. About 56 players played groups and then 16 played a knockout in the Lightning on 30/12/03. Jiri Keller and Jim Sadler made the last 16 for the UK. Ari Kauppi and Hichem Aktouche made the semi-finals, but the Lightning winner was Emil Nijhuis (6 dan NL), beating Radek Nechanicky (6 dan CZ) into second by 1 point in an exciting game. In the continuous 9x9 three players dominated. Using the Leiden Squareroot Formula the winner was Hichem Aktouche who won 27.5/36, second was Jiri Keller with 23/36 and third William Brooks with 21/35. Before the close Tim Hunt put his game up for public criticism, led by Radek Nechanicky (6 dan). Afterwards it was off to a Mediterranean restaurant or to various New Year parties/celebrations.
16 players 1 kyu to 20 kyu from Edinburgh, Dunfermline, Newcastle and Strathallan School Perthshire attended the Scottish Barlow in Edinburgh. Professor Iwashita (5 dan) was on hand to play people in between rounds. Nobody won 4/4, so winner on 3/4 was Claas Roever (4 kyu Newcastle) on tie-break from Edinburgh's Shinpei Tanaka (1 kyu) and Jim Cook (2kyu). Jim Cook, Allan Crossman, Donald Macleod and Colin Robertson qualified for the Scottish Championship semi-finals.
32 players plus the organiser Steve Bailey took part. Alan Thornton (2 dan St Albans) won the Tournament. On 4/4 for a second year was Kay Dackombe (25 kyu Bromley).

Also on 3/4 were Brian Brunswick (1 dan Epsom), Geoff Kaniuk (1 kyu London), Malcolm Hagan (4 kyu Winchester), Jonathan Englefield (11 kyu Maidenhead), David Galeano (16 kyu West Surrey) and Ken Dackombe (25 kyu Bromley). Ron Bell (4 kyu Reading) won a prize for the second year running in the 13x13, with 4/5. Malcolm Hagan won the geography quiz and Fred Holroyd won the caption contest. On the previous day some 20 students were taught various subjects by teachers Francis Roads, Alex Selby, Tony Atkins, Simon Goss and Natasha Regan.
The Cambridge Junior Chess and Go Club were again the hosts of this event at Whittlesford near Cambridge. 16 players competed for the national title on 13x13 boards. The top 8 players played a double elimination for the title. Third was Tony Atkins (3 dan Bracknell), second was Toshio Oshima (4 kyu Cambridge) and winner was Simon Goss (2 dan Bracknell), taking a national title to add to his Cornish one. Toshio's grade was only estimated, but it would seem at least on a 13x13 he is much better than the estimate; he won 6 games in all to win one of the prizes. Also winning six in the handicap section was Jonathan Englefield (10 kyu Maidenhead). Top handicap players winning 7 each were Nicola Hurden (10 kyu Bracknell) and Garry Sturley (12 kyu Cambridge). Two of the 40 junior Chess players won prizes in the adhoc beginners Go event: Matthew Blythe and Julian Hackett.

The others from the 50 players doing well were: Robin Hobbes (3 kyu Manchester), Frank Visser (4 kyu Cambridge) and John Herman (5 kyu Manchester) who won 4/5 and Jonathan Englefield (11 kyu Maidenhead) who won 5/5.
On a sunny autumn day 79 players took part in the Wessex at Marlborough. Winner of the Fred Guyatt 13x13 was Nicola Hurden (10 kyu Bracknell) and Winchester Blue won the team prize.

This twice yearly event moved to the new venue of the ISH, new home of the Central London Go Club. The Out of Town team took an early lead with 5 wins, but the Korean team played steadily winning 4 games each round to win the match. Their J.K. Shim (5 dan) was unbeaten, as was Paul Margetts (1 dan). Final scores Korea 12 (4+4+4), CLGC 9 (2+3+4), Out of Town 9 (5+2+2), Orientals 6 (1+2+3).
51 players (34 BGA and 17 Koreans) attended the first day of this new event in South-West London. Split into dan division (21) and kyu division (30), they played all-play-all in groups of 5 or 6. After play-offs the top 8 in each division returned on the Sunday for another group stage, before finals and third-fourth play-offs. The event was sponsored by Hanil Herald Korean newspaper and Mrs Kang of the Red Ox restaurant, so all got great Korean lunches and the top prize was 300 pounds.

Players with three wins were Alistair Wall (4 dan Wanstead), Alex Rix (4 dan London), David Ward (4 dan Cambridge) and Andrew Jones (3 dan Wanstead). Because Seong-June Kim will not be playing the championship this year as he is back in Korea, there were six places available in the next stage. The Challenger's League will be held in Cambridge in May, where the above five will be joined by Des Cann and Matthew Cocke (prequalified), and by John Hobson (2 dan Bath) who won the nigiri against Tim Hunt (3 dan Milton Keynes) to decide the best player on two wins.

Anniversary 45 MINI
OZ was established in 1971 by Silvano Oselladore and Pietro Zen -- two close friends with a shared passion for cars -- who were destined to become automotive pioneers, creating a brand and products that would dictate technical and stylistic trends across the entire market over the next 45 years.
Out back, behind the gas station in Rossano Veneto (province of Vicenza) in 1971, the idea for "number one", the first OZ wheel, became a reality. It was made for a Mini Cooper entered in a local rally race.
In 2016 the company celebrates its own 45th anniversary with a contemporary reinterpretation of the "number one", the very first OZ wheel.
Dubbed Anniversary 45, it revisits the retro style typical of the light alloy wheels of the '70s, while at the same time making use of today's state-of-the-art technologies. An iconic wheel for iconic cars like MINI and the FIAT 500, but not only.
Anniversary 45 is also available in many other applications, allowing a design personalization of a large number of vehicles currently on the market.
The latest addition to the OZ family also comes with the opportunity for extreme customization thanks to myPersonal program. Owners of Mini Cooper and One vehicles can customize their wheels to match the car's body color choosing among 12 different colors.
