How to Become the "Most Popular" @CloudEXPO, DXWorldEXPO and @DevOpsSummit Speaker
With 10 simultaneous tracks, 22 keynotes and general sessions, and 200 breakout classes, @CloudEXPO and DXWorldEXPO are two of the most important technology events of the year. Since its launch over eight years ago, @CloudEXPO and DXWorldEXPO have presented a rock star faculty as well as showcased hundreds of sponsors and exhibitors!
In this blog post, we provide 7 tips on how, as part of our world-class faculty, you can deliver one of the most popular sessions at our events. But before reading these essential tips, please take a moment and watch this brief video from Sandy Carter.
"Cloud Expo was really the event to connect with thought leaders, innovators, business folks who are interested in what the cloud can bring to their business. You know really how it allows them to bring the transformation of the business process."
1) Submit your session proposal well in advance
The "call for papers" for our next conference is already open. Our conference editorial board evaluates and accepts speaking proposals daily from experienced and well-respected speakers who are experts in their areas of presentation. Accepted session abstracts are published as part of the daily conference news and shared with the industry.
2) Select your session title and content carefully
It's not always sufficient to be highly knowledgeable and well known in your area of expertise. Your topic and session content are very important if you want to speak to a full room with standing room only as the attendees are eager to hear what you have to say. At our past events we have seen celebrity speakers talking to empty rooms, while a first-time presenter attracts crowds in the next hall. Think about what conference delegates want to learn in new and cutting-edge technologies and topics while working on your session abstract and talk.
3) Take your time and update your slide deck
It's easy to fly around from one conference to another with a stale slide deck. Delegates know what they want to learn and they pay attention to these details. Take your time and improve the content of your presentation if you are one of these speakers. Don't forget, in your time slot you are competing with nine other speakers and their presentations.
4) Avoid product pitches
We do not accept product pitches as our conference talks. Our delegates are there to learn about skills, techniques and technologies. They generally skip any session that looks like a product pitch. Keep your slide deck for your company's user conference.
5) Create a SYS-CON author blog and publish expert content
This is a big secret of success for our 10,000 plus SYS-CON authors. If you are not already a SYS-CON author, create your author page today; it only takes a few minutes. If you already have a blog page, you can easily publish your blog feed at our conference blog pages. For help, please contact us at events (at) sys-con.com.
6) Provide us with your session slides after your presentation
After the conference, we publish stories that summarize your presentation and share it with our readers and conference delegates. These stories typically get thousands of reads, expanding and magnifying your reach around the world.
Lori MacVittie blog: 4.2 million reads http://lorimacvittie.sys-con.com
7) Share your session content on Twitter before and after the conference
Your audience and our delegates are the most active Twitter users in any industry. Tweet about your session often; we share your tweets with over 100,000 of our followers to get your word out.
Last but not least, don't be a "no show" at your scheduled presentation. At every event, one or two speakers will miss their presentation without advance notice. These speakers or others from their companies are not invited to future events as we wish to avoid this situation occurring again.
At CloudEXPO Silicon Valley, June 24-26, 2019, Digital Transformation (DX) is a major focus with expanded DevOpsSUMMIT and FinTechEXPO programs within the DXWorldEXPO agenda. Successful transformation requires a laser focus on being data-driven and on using all the tools available that enable transformation if they plan to survive over the long term. A total of 88% of Fortune 500 companies from a generation ago are now out of business. Only 12% still survive. Similar percentages are found throughout enterprises of all sizes.

ServerlessSUMMIT & Kubernetes at CloudEXPO Silicon Valley
As you know, enterprise IT conversation over the past year have often centered upon the open-source Kubernetes container orchestration system. In fact, Kubernetes has emerged as the key technology -- and even primary platform -- of cloud migrations for a wide variety of organizations. Kubernetes is critical to forward-looking enterprises that continue to push their IT infrastructures toward maximum functionality, scalability, and flexibility.
Kubernetes is critical to forward-looking enterprises that continue to push their IT infrastructures toward maximum functionality, scalability, and flexibility.
As they do so, IT professionals are also embracing the reality of Serverless architectures, which are critical to developing and operating real-time applications and services. Serverless is particularly important as enterprises of all sizes develop and deploy Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives.
Serverless and Kubernetes are great examples of continuous, rapid pace of change in enterprise IT. They also raise a number of critical issues and questions about employee training, development processes, and operational metrics.
DevOpsSUMMIT at CloudEXPO Celebrates Its 12th Event in Six Years
Cloud-Native thinking and Serverless Computing are now the norm in financial services, manufacturing, telco, healthcare, transportation, energy, media, entertainment, retail and other consumer industries, as well as the public sector.
The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch. DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential.
ServerlessSUMMIT and DevOpsSUMMIT at CloudEXPO expands the DevOps community, enable a wide sharing of knowledge, and educate delegates and technology providers alike.
There's a real need for serious conversations about Serverless and Kubernetes among the people who are doing this work and managing it.
So we are very pleased today to announce the ServerlessSUMMIT at CloudEXPO.

He's fired hundreds of people on TV, but Donald Trump could be getting the boot next.
MoveOn.org has started an online petition asking Macy's to "Dump Trump" as a spokesperson after it was reported that the Celebrity Apprentice host makes a birther joke in an upcoming Christmas ad for the department store. According to The New York Times, Trump reportedly asks Edmund Gwenn, who played Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street, whether he is really Santa Claus and tugs on his beard. The joke comes after several years of Trump publicly raising questions about whether President Barack Obama is really an American citizen and demanding to see his birth certificate.
Check out photos of Donald Trump
The petition, which had more than 274,000 signatures as of late Sunday, called Trump's behavior "especially unpleasant, nasty and despicable."
Trump, who sells fragrances and ties in Macy's stores, has appeared alongside side such celebrities as P. Diddy and Martha Stewart in Macy's ads for the past several years.
Do you think Macy's should "dump Trump"?

Food Artisans: Austrian Classics at Servus Cookies
A different New York artisan every week.
When Daniela Olotu-Gottfried started her Austrian cookie business, Servus Cookies, it was with no small amount of trepidation. "Americans love their cookies," she says, "but I didn't know if they'd like my cookies."
She describes herself as "not so into chocolate," but Austrians "love our butter. We don't have any reduced-fat stuff." She describes her cookies as "simple," adding, "They're similar to what they'd have in the old days, what your grandmother might have made."
While each of her cookies are made using just a handful of straightforward ingredients, none are overly sweet, and they all have a similar melt-in-your-mouth crumbly buttery quality. They're very "distinct in taste," she says, setting them apart from the wares of bakeries that use the same dough as the base for all of their cookie varieties. The vanilla crescents have ground hazelnuts in the dough, while the almond hearts get their flavor strictly from the nuts; there's no extract added to boost the flavor. The nut-free vanilla cookies in the linzer tart sandwich tart are filled with red currant jelly, rather than the raspberry jam more common in Stateside interpretations.
At the moment Servus—named after a friendly, informal Austrian greeting—is available at two stores in Brooklyn: By Brooklyn in Carroll Gardens and Owl and Thistle General Store, which is near Olotu-Gottfried's home in Crown Heights. She'll soon be adding marzipan-decorated gingerbread hearts to the line, but otherwise wants to keep the company's growth moving at a manageable pace. "I want to take it slow," she explains. "The quality is better if they're made in small batches. They have to be hand-rolled."
Interested? Keep an eye on her website to catch one of her frequent tastings. "People don't know the cookies," she explains, "but if they taste them, they like them."

Beautiful country and lovely people are in our heart. Tour was brilliant and all hotels selected were comfortable and luxurious! Excellent value for money, Team airborne we will come back to you again
I would like to thank you for the lovely experinces that you have provided. Excellent choice of hotel , services and location including the special package you have provided. We will definitely visit Sri lanka again and other countries with your assistant. This trip wouldn't have gone very well without your advice and recommendation.
The trip was awesome and well organised. Tour Guide is so friendly. Explaination about the places we visited is good and understandable. He is having some good knowledge in almost all the places in Georgia. Also we have experienced with some of the Georgian foods with him which was not in our plan and really liked that. Regarding the hotel, we are much happy with that. I would like to say special thanks for your surprise gift 🎁 that we got on second day of tour. Thank you very much for all your service. We really enjoyed our holidays with you.!!! Surely I can recommend your travel agency for the holidays. Keep it up..
We had an pleasant trip with no complaints. We are extremely happy that we chose Georgia and Airborne as our partner in making this trip happen. Firstly, we want to compliment the service and warmth of Mr Edward, our tour guide. He was caring, flexible and informative at the same time. We would strongly recommend his presence to any of our friend's tours to Georgia. Further, our stay was very comfortable at Citadines with ease of access to nearby mall, restaurants and shopping areas ; not to ignore aspects of security. Our iterinary was drawn well too, with choice of iconic places, mix of nature and architecture with optimum time for rest between travel times. Overall, we had our happy moments and made great memories during the six days. We will be more than happy to recommend Airborne and your help specifically to our circles in their travels to Georgia and beyond. Thank You once again.

By the CNN Wire Staff
(CNN) - The number of interracial couples in the United States has reached an all-time high, with one in every 10 American opposite-sex married couples saying they're of mixed races, according to the most recent Census data released Wednesday.
In 2000, that figure was about 7%.
The rate of interracial partnerships also is much higher among the unmarried, the 2010 Census showed.
About 18% of opposite-sex unmarried couples and 21% of same-sex unmarried partners identify themselves as interracial.
The term interracial, as it pertains to the study, is defined as members of a couple identifying as of different races or ethnicities.
Analysts suggest the new figures could reflect U.S. population shifts, broader social acceptance of such unions and a more widespread willingness among those polled to be classified as mixed race.
The banjo is an African instrument. Just ask Bela Flek.
"Im not on the black mans side, Im not on the white mans side....Im on Gods side.
-Bob Marley
I know one guy who is very judgemental and despise "mexican" with a passion; he would never miss a chance of saying something unkind about them. Now, at this present time, he is dating a "mexican' woman, and deeply inside him he is embarassed (for dating her or for what he was!?). Well... don't know how long this relationship would last for a very stupid reason.
Black women, for the record, a majority of White men love you. We just dont know how to talk to each other because of the media brainwashing black women and white men.
hmmmmmm :o)
But if this trend continues what will happened to all the full bred blacks, whites, and jews in America? Won't they just disappear? Is there no pride in history or culture anymore? Everyone here is just willing to throw everything out the window?
Why do some people feel that it is wrong to be in a interracial relationship? Does the color of ones skin define who they are as a person? You would think by now that people would have enough common sense to know that regardless of one's race, people are all the same. In every race, you will find all types of people. In every race, there are good and bad people, period! It's time for those who have such a problem with race, to accept the fact that racism should be a thing of the past and move forward. They would be surprised how much happier they would be without all of that unnecessary anger. Grow up people and accept the fact that times have changed and they need to get with the program.
It is the same people that are against marriage equality for lgbt.
Union rights is what is needed not marriage rights. God defind a marriage made in Christ as 1 man and one woman. But there are benefits that come with religious marriage that gay unions are being deprived of like tax breaks. A courthouse should be granting the legal union.
Marry anyone you like. It's not my life, neither do I have a relationship counseling certificate. get a load of people
trying to tell others how to live- stupid.
Gawk and complain all you want. A couple lives in their own world, created by them. They know the stupidity of
racism. More than anyone, they'll probably be the last to criticize you.
HAHAHA I love to read the comments of all the racist pinheads who can't stand the fact that the world is moving on without them. What a bunch of fools.
If you aint white, you aint rite!
This is what intelligent people call ignorant bigotry. I forgive you. Try genetics over sociology and wake up.
I think a lot of Caucasian women/men back off having children with someone of another race because the children will not look like them. I'm not against interracial relationships - but I hear this comment quite often. Interesting to find out what others think.
I am black and my husband is white, and our daughter looks like the both of us.
You hear these comments from a blog post. You have no clue who is actually posting. You need to hear this from a white person face to face.
When you see a caucasion with red hair and frekles....your looking at yourself.
National geographic traced our dna about 5 years ago. All of us came from a few people just like the bible said. They used to make fun of Adam n Eve now they verified and quit laughing. NO we did not evolve from one cell. Yes we do evolve and change color or texture depending on where we live. NO big deal.
Well, said.
Don't believe the world's lies about race. There is only ONE race – it's the human race. Our differences are cultural not race. There is no such thing as "white" or "black" individuals. Everyone has different degrees of pigmentation (skin coloring). "White" people are not white. "Black" people are not truly "black". Some just have more pigmentation than others.
Best comment ever put on a website. Thank you.
One blood gets it! Keep waking up the sheep my friend!
A little difference here the bible claims this all happened a little over 6000 years ago, it was more like 100 millions ago.
The bible does not say this. The gregorian calander says this. You obviously do not understand Gods word my friend.
Yes hiker micro evolution is very real. Macro evolution is a farce. The missing link will remain missing because it doesnt exsist.
Everyone would agree, whether you believe in God or not, that God is Eternal. The reason God had to become flesh (Jesus Christ) was to transcend death and abolish it. God abolished spiritual death, not the death of flesh.
Everyone is African, that's why racism is so funny.
It's like in England where there is Ginger discrimination.
It was called pangea before it was called African. We must destroy our own self pride to see God true light.
Red hair and freckles are African and Egyptian in origin. Its a result of interracial children between European Anglo Hibernans and Africans
I use the term "interracial" because most people can understand this word. I personally, do not believe in race.
Mexicans are already mixed race, spanish conquistadors and the natives.
A lot of euro americans also share the blood of American Indians. I have Cherokee blood in my veins as well as Irish and African.
American Indians are Asian in origin. Thats where there beautiful eyes and jet black hair come from. People migrated on foot long before boats exsisted.
South American Indians such as the Maya and Aztec, and other Meso-American tribes and European Spanish "racial" mixing are the men you see working their tails off on roadways in blistering heat just to gain citizenship.
Once they go Black, ain't no looking back.....it's ah, RAP!!!!
My best advice to you realdirect...MORE KRS1 and LESS lil wayne
And same gender marriage is next.
Bravo. Well said.
This is natural behavior when you live in multi ethnic societies. Interracial relationships have been going on forever. It's only news now because what cannot be fought must eventually be accepted.
A lot of Irish men and women and African men and women had children together because they were slaves together and lived together in indentured servitude (ghettos) together. Black Irish ring a bell?
Great, article. I believe this shows the progress of diversity in this country.
Agreed. Love the knucklehead statements below. People will hold onto their faux superiority, regardless of reality.
Exactly. Once everyone is the same shade of brown, we'll finally be "diverse". Oh. Wait. No we won't.....
Most blacks and whites in america are mixed somewhere along their geneological line. If we would stop ignoring our mothers heritage with "racist one drop rule bs stories" we'd see the truth
Lots of liberals embracing diversity. They love it so much they are going to breed it out of existence.
Bunch of liberal sicko anything go's..
wwrrd - And why does that frighten you? Stop separating yourself from other people and just be part of the human race. Life doesn't really need to be that scary.
I only made the comment to illustrate the hypocrisy of liberals. Inter-racial breeding destroys the very diversity they claim to celebrate.
Librerals flaw is their attacks on God. You can not breed DNA out of exsistance. Its impossible.
Conservatives flaw is their attack on muslims. Muslims and Jews believe Jesus was a phrophet. Christians believe Jesus' flesh was that of a human, but his spirit IS God.
Our American Indian brothers and sisters called Abba the "Great Spirit".
Buddists do not believe in God but they do keep Gods law of love sacred. In my heart I feel God is pleased with them.
God spread us out after the fall of Babylon so that we would learn to love one because of our differences. This is true love.
raceisamyth; "American Indians" are a social construct. They don't really exist expect in your racist and bigoted mind. How do you like having your own logic thrown back at you?
Cnn you act like this is new. Do you know what black irish actually means? Bahhhhh silly sheep!

Burford Oak 4 Drawer Chest
The Burford oak collection is simple - but then this is sometimes the better appeal of a range as this simplicity finds itself nicely at home particularly in smaller rooms where space is a premium and you don't want bulky furniture that will dominate the room too much.
This is seen not just in the flat, square edges of the tops and frame work but continues into the slight foot at the base too, which, by lifting it from the floor ever so slightly gives an impression of more space.
The Burford is finished in a light lacquer with just the hint of a stain which helps to enhance the grain of the oak, this is then finished with either a wooden (see below) or metal handle, seen here and the choice is yours - both are included with every piece that needs them.
As with all furniture from A world of furniture, you are more than welcome to collect from any of our stores (please call 0800 1223334 to check availability) but if you would prefer to have this chest delivered then this will be carried out by an experienced two man team who will unwrap and remove all packaging for you - this chest does come fully assembled.

The Field of Management Services As Seen By The CPA
BY C. CURTIS GABRIELSON Partner, Los Angeles Office
Presented before the Fresno Chapter of The California Society of Certified
Public Accountants, Fresno State College, California—May 1958
WHAT is a real profession ? The best answer to this question that I have heard was given by the Executive Director of the American
Institute, Mr. John L. Carey. He listed the characteristics of a profession as "Technical Competence in a field of knowledge requiring advanced intellectual training; the use of judgment; the acceptance of responsibility, the assumption of authority in its own field; a sense of mission, a desire to help people, a willingness to share their worries, to aid their hard decisions."
Each of these characteristics is important, and no one can be stressed over the other. A sense of mission and the use of judgment certainly are not sufficient without technical competence.
A professional man must be an educated man. A description that appealed to me appeared in Fortune Magazine in an article by Russell Kirk. He said:
A person truly educated in the humane tradition should have an orderly and disciplined mind—so far as any system of training can bring order into private personality. He has been taught the relationship between cause and effect. He should understand
that predictable consequences follow from particular actions. He has in his mind a fund of precedent. He is acquainted
with system. He has been taught a respect for just authority, and that the ego must be kept in check. The complexities
of modern business require precisely those habits of thought that a liberal education has been trying to inculcate in young men these several centuries. Business is concerned with just one thing—making a profit. Of course it is true that a business not run to satisfy the wants of its customers,
one that is mismanaged or dishonest, will die. But the reason for its death, finally, will be lack of profit—thus no capital. And making profit is a very high motive—one that has carried our standing of living above that of all other nations of the world, although our start was below, the standard enjoyed by many countries when our country was founded. Profit is the reason lying back of our terrific progress in health and welfare, the great drug companies and world-renowned doctors and surgeons having their origins in this country.

The 2013 race season is now in full swing with races currently taking place across the world. With these early season races it's our first chance to see the latest bikes and equipment, many in new livery as new sponsors have stepped forward.
There are 19 WorldTour teams, and many are sticking with the same frame and component suppliers as last year. There's a couple of new brands, and we welcome Merida to the peloton for the first time. It's perhaps surprising that one of the world's very biggest bike brands has never dipped a toe in the professional road scene before, but they come from many years of backing the fastest mountain bike racers, so they're no strangers to supplying race winning kit. They've joined up with Italian squad Lampre, leaving previous bike sponsor Wilier absent from the 2013 pro scene.
Focus are back as well, making a return to the top level of cycle racing with Ag2r-La Mondiale. They've signed a three year deal which should give them the stability they've not yet enjoyed in their time as a pro race team bike supplier.
A huge brand notable by their absence is Colnago, a marque steeped in racing history. The Italian bike brand supplies bikes to the Europcar squad, but they didn't get the WorldTour license they were hoping to this year. This is a real shame as the C59, in my humble opinion, was one of the prettiest bikes in the peloton.
A new look team this year is Blanco Pro Cycling, with Rabobank having pulled the plug on their sponsorship at the end of last year, we'll not see the iconic orange kit in the peloton anymore. This team has the backing of Giant, who supplied Rabobank for the past two years, and continue for the foreseeable future.
Those are the big changes this season, the other 16 teams remain with the same bike sponsor they had in 2012. There's a few new bikes this year, and we're sure there will be a couple of other new bikes to be revealed in the run up to the Tour de France. The most notable news on this front is Giant's Propel, their first aero bike which is making its debut in the Tour Down Under.
Shimano dominant + year of the electronic groupset
As for equipment, Shimano is still the dominant drivetrain supplier with ten teams running Dura-Ace. Five teams are on Campagnolo Super Record EPS and just three teams are on SRAM RED.
Most Shimano and Campagnolo teams, as far as we can tell, will be using the electronic versions of the groupsets. Electronic groupsets are really popular this year, and just about every single Shimano and Campagnolo sponsored team will be running Di2 or EPS, respectively. Of course there will be a bit of pressure from the component manufactures on the team to use the newest groupsets, and it'll be interesting to spot which riders prefer the mechanical version.
Without question, SRAM's mechanical RED groupset is the lightest on the market. There's no sign of an electronic (or wireless) groupset from the US company yet, but who's to say they haven't got something up their sleeves this summer.
A couple of trends we've spotted this year: lots of PRO and FSA components. FSA has always been a prominent sight and this year it's almost hard to spot the team that isn't looked after by the Italian company for stems, handlebars and seatposts. Also noticeable is the number of Shimano sponsored teams that now appear to be using the company's PRO range of stems, handlebars and seatposts. Are Shimano offering a better deal to these teams perhaps?
There's also more Shimano wheels in the peloton this year, and less Zipp and Mavic than we have seen in previous years.
Frame: Aeroad CF + Ultimate CF SLX
Drivetrain: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 9070 11-speed
Wheels: Mavic
Components: Ritchey/Canyon
First they were out, then a CAS appeal saw their WorldTour licence upheld, and they're back in the pro peloton. Katusha are supported by German manufacturer Canyon, and have the choice of two road bikes, the aero Aeroad CF or the lighter Ultimate CF SLX. The latter is a 790g frame, for a size large, and is made from a ultra high modulus carbon fibre with details like the flattened top tube, bulged seat tube and slim seat stays. The dropouts on the frame and fork are carbon, there's a press fit bottom bracket, and cables are routed internally, with two versions of the frame for electronic or mechanical shifting. We've had a ride on it and been very impressed.
The team are supported by Mavic, and it will be interesting if any of the team ride the Cosmic Carbon 40 clincher wheels throughout the season. Shimano's latest Di2 groupset and Ritchey bars and stem with Canyon's own seatpost complete the details.
BMC Racing Team
Frame: TeamMachine SLR01 / TimeMachine TMR01
Drivetrain: Shimano Dura-Ace
Wheels: Shimano Dura-Ace
Components: 3T
BMC back their own team and the riders have the choice of the TeamMachine, which has been around for a couple of years. It's their go-to all-rounder. The riders also have the option of the newer TimeMachine, the aero bike launched at the Tour de France last year. The riders are clearly allowed to make their own choice, and we've only seen a few opting for this bike over the trusty TeamMachine. We expect to see more of its presence this season, as the aero bike war is hotting up. We imagine the team will be on the GranFondo GF01 again for the cobbled classics.
Movistar Team
Frame: Pinarello Dogma 65.1 Think2
Drivetrain: Campagnolo
Wheels: Campagnolo
Components: Pinarelloa MOST
The Spanish squad will be riding the newer Dogma 65.1 Think2, as opposed to the Dogma 2. They dress their frames, finished with a discrete Movistar logo colour stripe on the inside of the front triangle, and white chainstay/seatstay insides, with Campagnolo Record EPS electronic 11-speed groupset. Wheels are from the Italian company too, with the 50mm deep-section Bora's the most likely choice for all races except the classics.
Blanco Pro Cycling Team
Frame: Giant Propel
Drivetrain: Shimano Di2 9070
Wheels: Shimano C-50
Components: Giant
With new title sponsor Blanco taking over when Rabobank left the sport last year, Giant are still a major player at the top level of the sport, and they used the Tour Down Under to reveal their first ever aerodynamic road bike, the Propel. It promises much, this new bike, with a frame weight of 950g, decent stiffness and, according to their testing, it's faster than all other aero bikes. We expect to see some riders still opting for the lighter TCR Advanced (about 820g) when the races head into the mountains this summer. Shimano continue to supply groupsets and it'll be the new Dura-Ace Di2 11-speed.
Cannondale Pro Cycling
Frame: Cannondale SuperSix Evo
Drivetrain: SRAM RED
Wheels: Vision
Components: FSA
Another big sponsor, along with Rabobank, to leave the sport is Liquigas. Never fear, because Cannondale have picked up the bill and will provide the financial support the team, which carries over from 2012 virtually unchanged, need to compete at the highest level. Riders like Ivan Basso and Peter Sagan will campaign this season on the same SuperSix Evo as they rode last year.
There's a lighter version of the frame available, but seeing as the Evo is already one of the lightest in the peloton, and mechanics have to fit weights (solid axles is the rumour we've heard), they probably won't be making the leap anytime soon. They continue to use SRAM's RED mechanical groupset, the lightest on the market, and they've dropped Mavic wheels in favour of Vision. They've also a new tyre sponsor, Kenda, this season.
Astana Pro Team
Frame: Specialized Tarma
Drivetrain: Campagnolo Recod EPS
Wheels: Corima wheels
Components: Specialized (including cranks)
Astana have been on Specialized bikes for a while now and most riders will be racing the Tarmac SL4. A notable change is the switch from SRAM to Campagnolo for their drivetrain supplier. They, like every other team running Campagnolo, will use the Record EPS 11-speed groupset. As well as frames, they'll use cranks, stems, handlebars and seatposts from Specialized. They're the only team to roll on Corima wheels as well. They'll use the Aero or MCC, which both feature a full carbon rim with a foam core. Spokes are carbon too and so is the hub. So they're light, very light, they tip the scales at just over 1kg.
Francaise des Jeux
Frame: Lapierre Xelius EFI Ultimate Di2
Drivetrain: Shimano Di2
Wheels: Shimano wheels
Components: PRO
French team FDJ are still on fellow French firm Lapierre's bikes for 2013. The company has developed the new Xelius EFI Ultimate for the team, it's their lightest (890g) and stiffest frame they've ever produced. Frames will be fitted with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 9070 11-speed groupsets, with the battery hidden in the seat post. They've also shopped at Shimano for the components and wheels this year.
Frame: Ridley Noah FAST / Helium SL
Drivetrain: Campagnolo Record EPS
Wheels: Campagnolo
Components: Deda
The Lotto-Belisol team, headed by fearsome sprinter Andre Greipel and Grand Tour potential Jurgen Van Den Broeck, have the choice of two top-level race bikes.
The Helium SL is their superlight option while the Noah FAST is their cutting-edge aero bike designed for the pursuit of speed. They're using Campagnolo's electronic EPS 11-speed groupset with wheels from the same company. Deda bars, stem and seatposts complete the build.
Ag2r-La Mondiale
Frame: Focus Izalco Team SL Carbon
Drivetain: Campagnolo Record EPS
Wheels: Fulcrum
Components: Fizik Cyrano
Focus aren't strangers to the pro peloton, having supplied Milram and Katusha in past years. They're back with a three-year deal signed with Ag2r, which should see their bikes being the constant presence they really deserve to be. The Team SL Carbon is the latest and lightest version of the long-running Izalco. The frame has never been the lightest, but it's now under a kilo at 960g. It's built with Campagnolo Record EPS 11-speed with matching wheels. They're the only team to be using Fizik's new Cyrano handlebar, stem and seatpost setup. Saddles will be Fizik too.
Frame: Scott Foil
Drivetrain: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2
Wheels: Shimano wheels,
Components: PRO
The Australian team retain Scott as bike supplier, and the Foil aero bike, which has been around for a couple of years, is their bike of choice. Are we due for an update or new bike from Scott this year? I wouldn't put it past them. The frame is still very cutting-edge with aerofoil shaped tube profiles and a sub-1kg frame weight. It's dressed with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, and will be running the 11-speed version of the new groupset as we get into the season proper. Shimano also supply wheels to the team and PRO the handlebars and stem. The Foil has a special aero seat tube that is Scott's own design. Continental supply the tyres.
Frame: Trek Domane 6.9 and Madone 7.9
Drivetrain: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 9070
Wheels: Bontrager Aelous
Components: Bontrager
No bike or equipment changes for Radioshack: they'll be using the Madone and Domane bikes that were introduced last year. The Domane, built for races like Paris-Roubaix, didn't get the best showing with the rider who helped develop it, Fabian Cancellera, as he crashed and broke his collarbone in the Tour of Flanders. This year should be different.
Where outright speed and weight matter, the team will use the Madone. It's more of an all-rounder and is the company's first attempt at an aero road bike. It borrows KammTail technology to shape the tubes, and repositions the rear brake under the chainstays to make it slip through air cleaner and more quickly.
The only notable change is that they'll be using Shimano's new Dura-Ace 9070 electronic groupset, which permits stowage of the essential battery inside the seat post, allowing for a much cleaner looking frame.
Bontrager continue to supply most of the finishing components, including their new-ish Aelous wheels. The tyres, though, come from Schwalbe.
Team Argos-Shimano
Frame: Felt F1
Drivetrain: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2
Wheels: Shimano C-50 wheels
Argos-Shimano have stepped up from a UCI Professional Continental Licence to the big league this year and that means we'll be seeing a lot more of Felt's flagship F1. It's their lightest and stiffest race bike ever produced. It was quick last year, as John Degenkolb's showed.
For 2013 Felt have upped their carbon fibre manufacturing process and are using a new TeXtreme woven carbon fiber fabric to construct the frame.This TeXtreme is produced by a Swedish company, oXeon, who supply Formula 1 teams. It's advanced stuff, it has woven fibre piles that are very thin and means less material is needed for the same level of stiffness. So the new frames are the same the stiffness department, but lighter.
Felt also produce the AR1, a slippery aero bike that was one of the first of this new breed of race bikes, when it launched a good few years ago. It has been changed for 2013, and drops a bit of weight due to a new InsideOut moulding process for the bottom bracket, head tube and seat stays. Basically it leaves the insides fo the tubes cleaner and the walls thinner. It's now boasting a frame weight of 1,050g (down from 1,400g).
The team will build this bikes with Shimano's new Dura-Ace Di2 and wheels. As a Shimano backed team, this is a good one to keep any eye out for in early season races, as they might try out new wheels on this team first, before rolling them out to the rest of its sponsored teams.
Take a look at John Degenkolb's 2012 team bike.
Team Saxo-Tinkoff
Frame: Specialized Venge and Tarmac SL4
Drivetrain: SRAM RED
Wheels: Zipp
Components: Zipp
Specialized support three WorldTour teams, the third being Saxo-Tinkoff, headed by Alberto Contador. They too will have the pick of the aero Venge or the light and stiff Tarmac SL4.
They will be using SRAM's RED groupset There's no news on anything electronic from SRAM yet, but based on the popularity of both Shimano Di2 and Campagnolo EPS, maybe SRAM will make an announcement of something similar this year. And they're one of two teams to roll on Zipp wheels (the other is Quickstep). They also use Zipp bars, stems and seatposts.
Frame: Cervelo S5
Drivetrain: Shimano Di2 + Rotor cranks
Wheels: Mavic
At the time of writing, the Garmin-Sharp team rolls out on identical kit to last year. That means either the Cervélo R5 or S5, depending on rider preference and race profile, wrapped up with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, Mavic wheels and Rotor chainsets.
Cervélo partnered with Magura to develop the latter's RT8 hydraulic rim brakes, and expect to see these perhaps being used throughout the season. There's much talk about SRAM releasing a hydraulic rim brake (with disc brakes not currently allowed in UCI road races), this could be a hot topic of debate.
Both the S5 and R5 are over a year old now so chances are there's something new from Cervélo in the pipeline this year. If we had to put money on it, we'd point to the R-series as the most likely to receive a new model.
Euskaltel Euskadi
Frame: Orbea Orca
Drivetrain: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2
Wheels: Shimano C50
Components: FSA
The Spanish outfit sticks with Spanish bike brand Orbea for their race bikes. The Orca appears unchanged this season from the one they raced last year. They're without doubt the most distinctive bikes in the peloton, and not just because of the orange paint jobs. The all-carbon frame is cutting-edge with a tapered head tube and BB30, and has a sleek seatclamp design that I think looks just lovely.
As last year, they have Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 drivetrains, Shimano Dura-Ace wheels and FSA finishing parts.
Omega Pharma-Quick Step
Frame: Specialized Tarmac and Venge
Drivetrain: SRAM RED
Components: Zipp
The team of Tom Boonen and Mark Cavendish is sponsored for another season by Specialized. Many of the team, including Cav, will be on the wind cheating Venge aero bike for most of the season.
They're one of two teams to get Zipp wheels. The same company also supplies stems, bars and seatposts. No electronic groupsets here, it's mechanical all the way with SRAM RED. Cav has been outspoken on his delight at being back on Specialized this season, after a year spent on the Pinarello Dogma. He has good history on the Venge; it's the bike he raced to victory in the World Championships in 2011.
Frame: Merida Scultura SL
Drivetrain: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2
Wheels: Fulcrum
Components: FSA
The really big news on the bike front this year is that of Merida, the world's biggest producer of bicycles, stepping up to the professional racing scene. After many years supporting top-level mountain bike teams, the company is keen to earn some respect as a road bike producer.
They'll supply the Italian squad with the Scultura SL, their top-end frame that tickles the scales to just 830g. Like most modern road bikes, it's packed with features, but also has some interesting unique touches. Double Chamber reinforcement ribs within the frame is something they've developed, and significantly stiffens it up.
The Scultura SL will be fitted with Shimano's Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and FSA components. And here's a pairing we don't' see often, Fulcrum wheels on a Shimano equipped bike. Fulcrum wheels are made by Campagnolo, they're essentially the same but they picked a neutral name that allows non-Campagnolo equipped bikes to use their wheels happily.
Team SKY
Frame Pinarello Dogma
Drivetrain: Shimano Dura-Ace Di2
Wheels: Shimano
Components: PRO
Team Sky raced most of last season on the Dogma 2, but this year they'll be switching to the newer, but very nearly identical, Dogma 65.1 Think 2. The Dogma, with its curved seat stays and fork legs, is one of the distinctive bikes of the peloton, and also the most successful last year. Should they ride the newer Dogma 65.1, they'll be riding a frame is made from 65-ton Torayca 65HM1K Nanoalloy Carbon (see where the 65 in the name comes from now?) which leads to a stiffer frameset.
The frame is now better suited to integrating electronic groupsets, and the team will continue to use Shimano Dura-Ace Di2. Wiggins and Froome use O.Symetric chainrings rather than stock Shimano round rings. Wheels are Shimano (though we did see a few interesting non-Shimano issue wheels last year, Chris King and Tune hubs on non-branded rims) and components once again come from the PRO range.
Vacansoleil-DCM Pro Cycling Team
Frame: Bianchi Oltre XR
Drivetrain: Campagnolo Super Record EPS + FSA chainset
Wheels: FFWD wheels
Components: FSA
Vacansoleil-DCM continue to be supported by Italian bike firm Bianchi, and this season get the new OItre to race. It's their best performing road bike, is stiffer and lighter than the previous Oltre, with a frame weight of about 890g. The Oltre XR is a carbon monocoque with UMS 40 and CN 60 ultra high modulus carbon fibre used in the construction. Like most other pro-level bikes these days, it gets an oversized BB30 bottom bracket and a tapered head tube. And inside the head tube is their unique X-Tex, which increases structural stiffness with a cross weave layer. It's a bike that impressed us when we tested it recently.
They will rely on a Campagnolo Super Record EPS and will be the only team mixing it up with an FSA K-Force chainset.
We'll update this article (and the photos) as the season progresses.
David has worked on the road.cc tech team since July 2012. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all.

Religious Metaphysical Poetry: Donne, Vaughan, Herbert
Kim Donne (1572-1631) well-known what happens to be known given that the Metaphysical form of poetry which has been taken upwards by subsequently poets like George Herbert (1593-1633) and also Henry Vaughan (1622-95). Many of the chief components of Donne's fashion are: the quick opening of a poem that has a surprising sensational line; the application of colloquial diction; the ideas inside poem currently being presented to be a logical plus persuasive discussion, the intent being which should be to aid her wooing, whether of a woman and also God. Donne needed metaphors by all spheres with life, especially as a result of crafts plus the sciences, and crafted frequent using the 'conceit': a new surprising, brilliant, turn connected with ideas. Normally a whole poem is usually an extended 'conceit', and usually a poetry ends along with a final 'conceit' within the last two traces. Donne designed his tactic writing enjoy poetry, and soon after adapted it on the writing connected with religious beautifully constructed wording.
George Herbert put into practice the lead made available from Donne, but she or he also built contributions of quite clear. Herbert's unique characteristic is without a doubt his straightforwardness of diction in addition to metaphor. They retains that colloquial style, and, with an extent, your logical riveting presentation involving ideas, nevertheless he drags his metaphors via everyday every day experience, employing an array of simple popular imagery not like the classy imagery regarding Donne. 'Conceits' are certainly not an important component to Herbert's poems, and his particular appeal is just not as mental as Donne's.
An approach Herbert unveiled was that ending of any poem together with two calm lines which usually resolve the particular argument with the poem without having answering the actual points raised because of it. In in this manner Herbert communicates the insight you cannot dispute or cause with the almighty; one often feels the lord's presence, or loses the impression. In all these respects Herbert can be viewed to include broken innovative ground, straight into which Holly Vaughan observed later.
Contrary to Donne, Herbert composed no take pleasure in poetry, obtaining decided, while he initiated writing poems at Cambridge, for you to devote his particular poetic performs to Goodness. Herbert's poetry is around struggles of any religious form, but that struggles are generally neither and so desperate not as private as Donne's. Herbert is currently writing for many others, recording his particular struggles to ensure others may perhaps follow his particular example. The idea in Herbert's poems is as visible as any continuation of your thought inside his sermons, in fact it is this main objective behind the poetry which often largely can help determine his type. In that opening stanza involving 'The Community center Porch' he / she writes,

Now to food! :)
So in honor of pumpkins, their awesomeness and the nice chilly weather we're finally getting here in LA, we have pumpkin mac and cheese infused with thyme for you to whip up this weekend! I really enjoy using pumpkin in my baked goods (more of that later this month!), but I LOVE using it in savory dishes. Last year we had our Pumpkin Risotto with Seared Scallops…so good! This mac and cheese combo may seem a little odd, but the pumpkin is subtle enough with the creaminess of the sauce/cheeses and the thyme sort of brings everything together. This dish is perfect for this time of year and I urge you all to make it this weekend, cozy up with someone special and enjoy! xx, Jenny
Pumpkin Thyme Mac and Cheese
Serves 4 to 5
2 cups milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch ground nutmeg
pinch ground cloves
1 lb dry fusilli pasta (can substitute elbow macaroni)
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons minced thyme
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 ounces smoked gouda, shredded
1 ounce white extra sharp cheddar
salt and pepper to taste
lightly toasted/buttered panko breadcrumbs
1. Place milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium saucepan and stir together. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil add a generous amount of salt (2½ – 3 tablespoons) and then the pasta.
3. Boil pasta for 10 to 12 minutes or until al dente, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta and set aside.
4. Melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Sprinkle flour over melted butter and whisk together. Allow mixture to cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in thyme.
5. Whisk pumpkin-milk mixture into flour mixture and continue to whisk until fully incorporated. Allow mixture to simmer until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Place shredded cheese into a mixing bowl and toss together with lemon juice.
7. Stir cheese into the béchamel sauce and stir until cheese just melts. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and gently stir pasta into the sauce, ½ cup at a time until all of the pasta has been added and is fully coasted in sauce. Adjust seasonings and serve immediately.

Steve Aoki - redefining, evolving, uniting
(photo by Dove Shore)
Steve Aoki is a musical genius. And it doesn't take someone like me to figure that out. For starters, Aoki graduated from UC-Santa Barbara with two bachelor degrees.
He started his own record label, Dim Mak, and began creating music for the masses.
Now the guru is touring in support of his first studio album titled Wonderland. He, along with label mate Datsik, are hitting the road for the "Deadmeat Tour," which comes to Houston on Thursday, Feb. 2 at the Verizon Wireless Theater.
The 13-track masterpiece features songs with the likes of LMFAO, Kid Cudi and Travis Barker, Angger Dimas and Lil John, just to name a few.
I caught up with Aoki vie telephone before the tour began.
Why was now a good time to release Wonderland?
I've been working on this for about three years and I made a resolution at the end of 2010 to be in the studio every single day in 2011 while in Los Angeles. I do over 200 gigs a year so I wanted to finish this album.
I'm sure you have to be thrilled with how it turned out.
This is a timeless album. It's not about club-bangers. I wanted to write interesting songs that fit with the vocalists. I wanted to showcase the variety of production as a songwriter that I don't get to do with a club record. Club records are about making kids go crazy where as this album was about songwriting.
You worked with a wide range of artists. Which song do you feel you had the most fun with?
There were a few. I like working with LMFAO. Working on that one was kind of like my first stab at pop music. I love pop music, but I am not a pop producer. When I wrote this one, I particularly had RedFood and SkyBlue (LMFAO) in mind because those guys are pop wizards. They can turn a dance song into a pop song. 'Foo is a really good friend of mine and when we did the song, we sat there and talked about music theory for six hours.
I see you have a song titled 'Steve Jobs.'
I wrote that one with Angger Dimas. The idea was to write a song that had an Atari 8-bit influence. Instead of calling it Nintendo or whatever, I called it 'Steve Jobs.' He, along with Bill Gates, was the creator of the computer evolution. The song was originally called 'The 80s.'
So this is your biggest accomplishment?
Yes. The amount of time it took along with the learning and un-learning as a producer plus this defines who I am. I'm not just a single-writer, I'm also a songwriter. To get to put it all together and present it, it's definitely my biggest accomplishment.
Did you ever imagine you would headline a big venue tour?
Absolutely not. When I was in a band back in college, we were playing shows for $50 bucks a day and that was exciting. When I decided not to go to graduate school and pursue music, my goals in life were not financial. The music was what I was doing it for so I knew I was doing it for the right reasons. I never thought I would get to this point. Back then, I didn't even know what a DJ was. That was a complete different era of my life.
I read that Malcolm X was a big inspiration for you.
He solidified my college experience by the way he approached and handled things. It defined me as a political activist when I was in college. By any means necessary — it was as simple as that. You can bring that into music. Dim Mak is not a record label that knocks on the door politely and just comes inside. We are the kind that sneaks around back and breaks in. We've always been the edgy label and I always want to sign the out-of-the-box artists and ones that break the status quo. A lot of that same philosophy in college bridged over musically — from signing artists to producing a song.
Dim Mak translates into the 'touch of death' or 'death blow.' Tell me a little about starting your record label at such a young age.
I started my label when I was 19. Bruce Lee was my biggest insipiration when I was growing up. I've said this in a few interviews so you may have read this before — as an Asian, to see an Asian face on television that everyone loved was inspiring. Every race loved this guy. He was an incredibly articulate philosopher. He wrote books on philosophy and the art of martial arts. Bruce Lee wasn't just a badass who kicked people's asses. He was intelligent, charming and cool as fuck. He united all ethnicities and got something positive out of it.

"Deathly Hallows" Split Rumors: Malfoy Manor Sequence to be in Part Two?
Feb 24, 2010
DH Film
As a follow up to our report earlier today, actress Helena Bonham Carter has given further detail about her turn as Hermione Granger playing Bellatrix Lestrage in the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" films. A new interview from MTV has appeared online in which the actress comments on the placement of the Malfoy Manor sequence in the final films, relating that her appearance comes in Part Two. MTV reports:
The scene itself falls near the middle of the "Deathly Hallows" novel " but Bonham Carter's next statement might shed some important light on where the books will be split, a point on which the "Potter" crew have been elusive.
"I can't remember where they are going to cut," she explained, then remembered. "Yeah, [the scene is] definitely in the second one, because all of my stuff is in the second one. So you won't see me until 2011."
The report continues with additional quotes from Ms. Bonham Carter about her experience playing Hermione acting as Bellatrix during the Gringotts Break In sequence, as well as the reasoning behind this decision. Quoteage:
After J.K. Rowling wrote the scene in the final "Potter" book, the film series' producers were faced with a difficult question: Was it preferable to use makeup and CGI to make Watson look like Bonham Carter, or have the older actress act like the younger?
"Rather than put Emma Watson in a helluva load of make-up they just said, 'Now you go act like Hermione,' " Bonham Carter said of their decision. "That was fun, because I always wanted to be Hermione. "It was great fun," she said of the scene. "[I was] looking at Dan [Radcliffe] and Rupert [Grint] and they were treating me as if I was 17."
A clip of the interview is available to watch here. To date, no official word has been released regarding where exactly the two "Deathly Hallows" films will be split.

Anderson has only looked like he'd probably be able to tear apart a top-class batting lineup in the past year. Dale Steyn has done it.

Although i don't mean to argue, because i know you broadly agree.
But there have certainly been a couple of occasions of late where Anderson has done all he can be expected to and the fielders\Umpires have let him down.
Anderson has done it - he just hasn't done it as often (anywhere near so in fact) as Steyn has. Anderson has done it a couple of times, Steyn eight or nine.Anderson has only looked like he'd probably be able to tear apart a top-class batting lineup in the past year. Dale Steyn has done it.

I don't mind cockiness, hell Pietersen is a cocky bastard too.
But Hughes is as cocky after only 3 tests & some big innings against mediocre bowlers.
Also, what does the past have to do with the present?
As far as I know, Lillee, Thomson, McGrath, Gillespe, Warne have all retired. Or is my memory a bit hazy?
And come on, If you saw Anderson's bowling over the last 18 months you'd concede he is 1 quality bowler nowadays. I'd take Mitchell Johnson over him all things considered, but Anderson is WAY above any other Aussie bowler of the present so Hughes WILL be tested.
And, btw- I'm a Phillip Hughes fan. He showed great character in South Africa. But Matthew Hayden only averaged 34.50 in England and in 2001 & 2005, he was far more acomplished a batsman than Hughes is atm.

"**** you're such a **** poster." - Furball
I'll do the math: 6 teams of 4 bowlers makes 24+ 6 Aussie bowlers = pool of 30. 4 are teamates and 3 teamates play internationally. So opposition pool = 23. 3 of these play for Australia, which leaves 4 to be chosen for "A" team (of which I'd open with BA Barachus and the Hanibal). 4/20= 1/5
So you are corect, 4fifths of the bowlers are not good enough to play for Australia A. but probably would be good enough to play for england, who'll pick just about anyone.
My point being that you have to be damn good to be bowling in First class cricket in Australia; even gives you a 30% chance of representing Aus (in A team or higher) and saying that their not good enough to get in Aus A team means sfa.

Even for an Aussie.
It's abundently clear he's cocky- but then Australian modest = everyone else's cocky so it's all relative.
It's just what sportsmen do.
1 example, Adam Gilchrist never said anything about Muralidaran's action being suspect while he was playing and the second he retires from international cricket, he admits he was thinking it.
Are you really that naive to think what people say on camera is the truth?
Don't sugar coat Aussie state cricket. It's everybit as bad as our county stuff, the difference is English people admit it.
When you take into account that people equate a batsman's average of 45 being the "old" 40, you have to take off 5 runs from the bowler's average to be consistent.
While Anderson doesn't have Steyn or Johnson stats (and I'm pretty sure I never said he was a world beater, just that he'll test all batsmen in England when it swings) his stats are very good nevertheless.
Have a guess at what the WORST thing to come out of England is...
* A clue. It begins with an "A" and rhymes with Bostralia.
This'll be fun.
So, anyway, how do you know what Hughes is THINKING privately? Are you a clairvoyant? Have you been reading tea leaves? The wrapper of a deep-fried lard sandwich? Or the perfectly intact end of a 3 year old toothbrush that's never been in contact with horrifically crooked teeth?
You won't fool anyone who's actually been to England with your holier than thou attitude mate.

Weekend Watch
After the international break, the Premier League returns with the usual mix of players out to prove a point, managers under pressure and teams out to turn their fortunes around. We take a look at some of the key contests from the weekend ahead...
By Peter Fraser and Adam Bate
Last Updated: 18/10/13 12:13pm
Noble deed
West Ham United may have failed to score in four of their last seven Premier League matches but it is not due to a lack of trying. Keep an eye on Mark Noble this weekend in West Ham's game against Manchester City, which can be seen live on Sky Sports' Saturday Night Football. The midfielder has created more goalscoring chances than any other in the Premier League so far this season. Noble has created 17 chances for his team-mates and he therefore poses a great threat to City. Ravel Morrison may be the man making all the headlines in the centre of West Ham's midfield but Noble is the one City should beware. PF
You can watch West Ham v Man City live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Saturday at 5.30pm
All the right reasons
It seems a long time ago that Tottenham Hotspur were dependent on Gareth Bale. Winger Andros Townsend is now dominating news agendas due to his impressive performances for England and the new Spurs star has also been on the back pages after Roy Hodgson's reported joke telling. But it is best to concentrate on the on-field performances of Townsend and, for that reason, he will again be a key part of Spurs' plans at Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon, live on Sky Sports 1HD and 3D.
Townsend has embarked on 50 dribbles in the Premier League this season, more than any other player, and has also attempted a league-high 26 shots without scoring. Could he break that scoring duck against Villa, who have not kept a clean sheet at home in their last 14 Premier League games - starting with a 4-0 defeat by Spurs last December courtesy of a hat-trick by a certain winger named Bale? PF

Goals galore
If ever a game promised goals, it is the meeting between Newcastle United and Liverpool on Saturday. The statistics are staggering. There have been 122 goals in Premier League games between these two clubs, with only matches between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur producing more goals at 125. In 38 Premier League meetings between Newcastle and Liverpool, there has never been a goalless draw, including the latter's 6-0 win at St James' Park last season. Add to this the fact Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is just one goal away from his 100th in the Premier League, with the England captain having already scored seven times against Newcastle in the top flight, and it could be another game to keep the scoreboard busy. PF
Poyet needs points
"The Thursday and Friday before the Swansea game will be unbelievable for them," Gus Poyet has warned his Sunderland players ahead of his first game in charge. "The amount of information they are going to get is incredible. It will be a nightmare for the players coming back. They will all be together for the first time. I need them all in to convince them to be ready. It is going to be very demanding for them over those days. Mentally, not physically as much. We need them all to know what has been happening over the last eight days, we need them prepared for the Swansea game."
Poyet, who was appointed as Paolo Di Canio's replacement at the Stadium of Light last week, will be hoping that his players' nightmare doesn't extend to the game itself. After all, Sunderland and their supporters need points not promises now. Stranded at the foot of the Premier League table with just one point from seven games, the Black Cats are already six points adrift of fellow relegation zone occupants Norwich. A win and some confidence will be needed from the trip to the Liberty Stadium before their next fixture - a home game against arch-rivals Newcastle. AB
Bogey team for Baggies
Not everyone goes in for the bogey team theory. Players and managers change so surely it is irrelevant? But sometimes a statistic comes along that has to raise a chuckle. Given that West Bromwich Albion have finished above Stoke City in seven of the last eight seasons in which they were in the same division, the head-to-head record between the teams must rank among one of the most extraordinary in English football. The Potters have won 16, drawn six and lost just two of their league meetings with the Baggies in the past quarter of a century.
Albion fans could be forgiven for thinking this is a great opportunity to make the short trip to the Britannia Stadium and take one small step towards addressing that record. Steve Clarke's men were on a good run of form prior to the international break, having picked up four points from two games against Manchester United and Arsenal. In contrast, the early optimism of the Mark Hughes era at Stoke has taken a jolt following back-to-back defeats by Norwich and Fulham. So the result is obvious, isn't it? Home win. AB
Saints go marching on?
Adnan Januzaj may be the new golden boy at Old Trafford but his heroics at Sunderland cannot mask the fact that Manchester United are struggling to break teams down. United have always placed an emphasis on crossing the ball but there are concerns that the team is showing signs of becoming a little predictable in their attacking play under David Moyes. When coupled with a series of defensive errors at the other end, there are questions to answer for the Premier League champions.
That being the case, Southampton must be a side to avoid right now - a team that United will always be expected to beat handsomely but also one in-form and with the tools to frustrate misfiring opponents. The Saints have the best defensive record in the top flight and Moyes' boys will need to show rather more than they did in their previous home fixture against West Brom if they are to avoid a repeat of that disappointing result. AB

Hull's unsung heroes
Roberto Martinez has earned deserved praise for the ease with which he has sidled into the Everton hot seat and tweaked the tactics to develop an entertaining team that is getting results. The Toffees were the last side to lose their unbeaten record in a spirited defeat at Manchester City last time out. A home fixture against Hull City represents an excellent opportunity to bounce back with three points and maintain this early season momentum.
But while Martinez may have enjoyed a good start, Tigers boss Steve Bruce is truly exceeding expectations at the KC Stadium. Three wins and 11 points from Hull's first seven games represents a strong return - almost flawless when you consider that the only two defeats so far have come away to Chelsea and Manchester City. With Bruce even having adapted his formation ahead of the Premier League campaign, it's been an unqualified success for the experienced manager. He's already the highest placed English coach in the league. A win at Everton and the Steve Bruce fan club may swell further. AB

Meaning of net worth: Net worth gauges financial health and provides a snapshot of an individual's current financial position. Net worth is the value of all assets, minus the total of all liabilities. In other words, net worth is what you own minus what you owe. Assets include cash and investments, real estate, cars and anything else of value.
Calculating net worth: Determining net worth is fairly straightforward. The most basic equation is subtracting your liabilities (everything you owe/debts) from your assets (everything you own). Your net worth is the amount by which your assets exceed any liabilities, and it's an accurate reflection of your financial health.
Is net worth the same as net income? Net worth is not the same as net income. Net income is what you bring home after taxes and payroll deductions, such as Social Security and 401(k) contributions.
What is the average income in the U.S.? According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the yearly median income for a full-time wage or salary worker is approximately $46,800. This is a 5% increase on the previous year.
