Published on May 8, 2014
Visit California and AEG Lets Fans Take the Lead on Social Engagement For the 2014 Amgen Tour of California
Cycling Fans Gain Unprecedented Access to All of the Action from the Peloton and Beyond via the Amgen Tour of California Social Hub Presented by Visit California
Los Angeles, Calif. (May 8, 2014) – Today, AEG, presenter of the Amgen Tour of California, America's largest and most prestigious cycling event, and Visit California announced the launch of a new social platform, the Amgen Tour of California Social Hub presented by Visit California.
The Social Hub is a one-stop shop where fans can interact with news, information, fellow cycling enthusiasts, and behind-the-scenes content featuring their favorite cyclists leading up to, during and after the upcoming eight-day race set to begin May 11. Starting today, fans will have the ability to access the Hub on any of their connected devices.
"The Amgen Tour of California Social Hub presented by Visit California brings the passion and excitement of one of cycling's greatest events to an all new platform," said Kristin Bachochin, executive director of the race and senior vice president of AEG Sports. "Fans now have the opportunity to share content and engage in cycling and race-related activities that will make the eight-day race a year-round experience."
The Hub is designed to aggregate all of the fragmented social media conversations among cycling fans in one place, while providing unique content across all platforms. Key features include real-time Twitter polls, hashtag battles, live competitor statistics, and sweepstakes – all in an effort to extend and enhance fan engagement and second-screen optimization. In addition to powering the Hub, Visit California will also create a video series aptly named "Rolling with the Tour presented by Visit California." The series gives fans consistent highlights of the race and offers an exclusive behind-the-curtain look at what it takes for these athletes to perform at such high levels.
"We are thrilled with the opportunity the Social Hub affords us, deepening engagement with the audience and providing different opportunities to pull fans deeper into the race experience," said Caroline Beteta, President and CEO of Visit California. "The new multi-media content we've produced specifically for this event highlights the amazing communities and beautiful landscapes that the cyclists traverse."
The 2014 Amgen Tour of California race will travel north-to-south from May 11-18 along more than 720 miles of scenic roads through some of California's most picturesque backdrops. The race will begin in front of the state's Capitol Building in Sacramento and travel through 11 additional host cities during the eight-day event including Folsom (first time host city), San Jose, Mount Diablo State Park, Monterey, Cambria (first time host city), Pismo Beach (first time host city), Santa Barbara, Santa Clarita, Mountain High (first time host city), Pasadena and Thousand Oaks.

From mountaintop to river bottom, loggers risk life and limb for "Green Gold" - and the competition is fiercer than ever...
Original Hit Logging Series Returns for 5th Season
Sunday, January 8 at 9PM ET on HISTORY(R)
New York - The AX MEN are back, and risking falling trees, bone-crushing equipment, human error, freak accidents, hungry predators, brutal forces of nature - and each other - in an all-new race to be "King of the Mountain." Season five of the popular series premieres Sunday, January 8 at 9pm ET on HISTORY.
For generations, loggers have put their lives on the line every day to provide America with the timber it needs. But these AX MEN will do anything to claim "Green Gold" worth millions and live to tell the tale.
Last year's champs, Papac Logging, are back on a remote Alaskan island to defend their title. But with an unruly crew and competition from all directions, Mike Papac knows that it's easier to make it to the top than to stay there. In Washington, father-and-son team Gabe and Craig Rygaard return with a plan to double their production...but it may double their troubles as well. In Oregon, Levi Brown is forming his own company of young guns, but first he has to convince his investors that they have what it takes to play with the big boys. From Montana comes newcomers Siderius Logging - a group of opinionated and charismatic cowboys who want to show the world that they can beat the West Coast guys at their own game.
Down south, Shelby "Swamp Man" Stanga is back with a revolving crew of assistants - wife Donna, cousin Belinda and a guy named "The Hog Man" - proving that the only thing more unpredictable than a day in the swamp is a day with these characters. Way down upon the Suawanee River, the father-son team Jimmy and James Smith return to go another round with Patrick "Pond Bear" Swilley and rival, Uncle Buck.
For more than a hundred years, larger than life characters, many of whom are members of logging families who go back to the time when the West was being settled - have spent their days among towering trees and powerful machines and their nights in outposts far from the comforts of civilization. AX MEN details the history of the logging industry and tells how technology has transformed life for today's logger, while the struggle of man versus nature stays the same.
The logging crews of season 5 of AX MEN include...
Big Gun Logging - Tired of working for "The Man," some of Oregon's most talented young loggers are ready go at it alone. The leader of this new outfit is one of season one's youngest stars, Levi Brown. The former Army soldier is trying to get his own logging company off the ground. He recruited a crew that's big on character but low in experience: his brother Luke, loudmouthed yarder operator Stacey Roberson, and a team of new greenhorns. Levi is seeking backing from his former boss, logging giant Mike Pihl. It's a gamble that could cost Mike everything. Meanwhile, Big Gun is investing their savings, reputations and futures - in the longest shot in AX MEN history
Papac Logging - As last season's champion, Papac will have to defend its title against both youth and experience. This season Papac is back on remote Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, home to some of the biggest wood in the world and some of the toughest terrain in North America. Company owner Mike Papac is sitting on a mountain full of green gold, but with a crew as unruly as the terrain and a team filled with egos bigger than the logs they're chopping, the Papac train may be derailed at any time.
Rygaard Logging - Broken equipment, falling trees, blow-ups with employees, and other obstacles...Rygaard has seen it all and survived by being lean and mean. But last season, they lost to newcomers Papac Logging, and the father-son owners Craig and Gabe are obsessed with taking down Papac. They have a plan: they will divide their crew in two - two teams working side-by-side, two site bosses each running things their way, two groups competing with each other to move the most wood. With two yarders running simultaneously, Rygaard might just have enough firepower to beat Papac's mega-logging operation. But it could also mean twice the meltdowns, twice the accidents, twice the chaos. It's the biggest gamble they've ever undertaken.
Shelby "Swamp Man" Stanga - This gun toting, gator-eating, and swamp-water-drinking logger destroyed his most important piece of equipment last season. Determined to get his operation back on its feet, he's enlisted some of the most colorful characters in the swamp: "Cajun Leprechaun" Davie, Tracy "Hog Man" Hickman, cousin Kelly, swamp girl Cheyenne, and even sometimes-estranged wife Donna Stanga. And of course, his pal Piss Willy. Shelby is working for a buyer who wants a laundry list of logs. If he can find the buried treasure, he'll be swimming in cash. But first he has to contend with snakes, alligators, leeches, swamp rats, mechanical difficulties, and issues with his revolving cast of assistants.
Siderius Logging - Half loggers, half schoolyard bullies, Siderius Logging is a team of young cowboys who just might have a shot at competing with the big boys...IF they can keep their mouths shut long enough to pull a log to the landing. Dan Siderius started the company just three years ago. Still struggling to find its way, Siderius Logging is an outfit with a lot to prove and the egos to do it: over-talkative yarder operator Josh Fite, rigging slinger Travis Reynolds, hook tender Drew Koffler, and greenhorn Jesse Kelleher. The crew is as lean and mean as they come. New country...new crew...and plenty of personality to spare...the team is out to prove that they can hang with the big boys and maybe even show the competition that they're the ones to beat.
S & S Aqua Logging - Last season's log-off ended in an unexpected twist when the colorful father-son team of Jimmy and James of S & S Logging pulled the upset over rival Joe Collins. This season, they're striking out on a piece of the Suwannee River they've picked out all for themselves. But when they get there, they realize they're not alone. Local logger "Uncle Buck" Livingston has already taken up camp on this part of the river, and he's recruited Patrick "Pond Bear" Swilley as his ace diver. Jimmy and Buck strike a deal - whoever pulls the most logs at the end of the season gets to stay while the loser has to move on. To make it more interesting, the winner takes the loser's boat.

The description of a shuttered abortion clinic as a "house of horrors" is a "political press fabrication," a lawyer for a doctor charged with killing four babies allegedly born alive there said Monday.
Authorities say Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, ran a clinic where desperate women sought late-term abortions they could not get elsewhere. And he got rich doing so, prosecutors said, making millions of dollars over a 30-year career.
Gosnell is charged with killing four babies allegedly born alive and in the overdose death of a 41-year-old patient.
During closing arguments Monday, defense attorney Jack McMahon took two-and-a-half hours. showed photographs of a relatively neat waiting room and other areas in Gosnell's clinic, saying that pictures don't lie.
In a loud and boisterous voice, McMahon acknowledged the graphic photos jurors saw during the trial, saying, "When you see pictures of a dead fetus with a hole, it affects you. You have to transcend that." He went on to tell jurors the case is not about abortion.
"You're here to decide whether he's a cold-blooded, first-degree murderer," McMahon said.
McMahon blamed the prosecution and the media for a prejudice against his client.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
He said the clinic wasn't perfect but it wasn't the criminal enterprise that prosecutors claim. The district attorney has called it a "house of horrors."
McMahon said he's not backing down from his opening remarks that the case is an elitist and racist prosecution against Gosnell, who is black.
"I'm telling you, never has the presumption of innocence been stomped on, trampled on, like in this case," McMahon said.
Prosecutors say Gosnell killed viable babies born alive after putting a steady stream of often low-income, minority women through labor and delivery. Former employees have testified that Gosnell taught them to "snip" babies' necks after they were delivered to "ensure fetal demise."
"Why would you cut a baby in the back of the neck unless you were killing them?" Assistant District Attorney Ed Cameron argued last week, as he asked a judge to send all seven first-degree murder charges to the jury.
Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Minehart, though, threw out three of those counts for lack of evidence they were viable, born alive and then killed.
Gosnell is also charged in the overdose death of a patient, 41-year-old refugee Karnamaya Mongar, of Woodbridge, Va.
The jury must now weigh the five murder counts, along with lesser charges that include racketeering, performing illegal abortions after 24 weeks, failing to observe the 24-hour waiting period and endangering a child's welfare for employing a 15-year-old in the procedure area.
McMahon has argued that there were no live births at the clinic, and he found some support from a prosecution witness, Philadelphia's top medical examiner. Dr. Sam Gulino, who examined 47 aborted fetuses stored in freezers at the clinic, said he could not definitively say if any had taken a breath because the lung tissue had deteriorated.
The prosecution's other evidence to support the live birth argument comes from former employees, who testified that they saw aborted babies move, breathe or even cry. McMahon challenged them on cross-examination, questioning whether they had instead seen post-mortem spasms.
"You have to have definite, voluntary movement," McMahon argued.
The jury has seen a graphic photograph of some of the aborted babies and a worker testified that Gosnell joked that one was so big "it could walk to the bus."
Lynda Williams, Adrianne Moton and Sherry West, all untrained clinic workers, and unlicensed doctor Stephen Massof have each pleaded guilty to third-degree murder charges and testified against Gosnell. And four others have pleaded guilty to lesser charges, including Gosnell's wife, Pearl.
Gosnell did not testify, but could take the stand in the penalty phase if he is convicted of first-degree murder. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Prosecutors say Gosnell is a misogynist for the way he treated female patients while the inner-city doctor described himself as an altruist in a 2010 interview with the Philadelphia Daily News.
"I wanted to be an effective, positive force in the minority community," Gosnell said.
Also on trial is former clinic employee Eileen O'Neill, 56, of Phoenixville. She is charged with theft for allegedly practicing medicine without a license.
O'Neill's lawyer said in his closing arguments that prosecutors failed to prove their case against her.

Woman dies riding roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas, park says
A woman died Friday while riding the Texas Giant roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, according to a statement released by the theme park.
The park did not detail release any details about how the woman died on the Texas Giant, touted as the tallest steel-hybrid roller coaster in the world.
"Since the safety of our guests and employees in our number one priority, the ride has been closed pending further investigation," the statement said.
The Arlington Police Department did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment.
The Texas Giant was originally designed in 1990 as an all wooden roller coaster. It was redesigned with a steel track and reopened in April 2011 to mark the theme park's 50th anniversary.
At its highest point, the roller coaster is 153 feet and has a drop of 147 feet, according to the theme park.
Elsewhere, seven people suffered minor injuries in a boat-ride mishap at the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, park officials said.
The incident occurred Friday evening when a boat rolled backwards down a lift hill on the Shoot the Rapids ride, park spokesman Bryan Edwards said in an e-mailed statement.
The seven people in the boat were evaluated and treated by Cedar Point emergency medical staff, Edwards said. One of the seven was taken to an area hospital for additional evaluation and was subsequently released, he said.
"Shoot the Rapids will remain closed until park officials and inspectors from the state of Ohio complete their review," Edwards said.
