Record Day in Austria
Linsey Corbin clocked a new course record and Ivan Rana celebrated the second-fastest time in IRONMAN history at IRONMAN Austria.
by Volker Boch
Linsey Corbin had just one wish for IRONMAN Austria. The 32-year-old wanted to grab the cowboy hat she wears when she crosses an IRONMAN finish line as quickly as possible. The Austrian crowd were used to seeing that after they cheered the American across the line in first two years ago. But this time things were different for Corbin: when she jumped into Lake Wörthersee, she knew that she was in for a tough battle because she was up against some strong pro athletes.
From the start Switzerland's Simone Braendli took the lead and swam amongst the top male pros. When she exited the water, she was 10th overall. Braendli's swim 45:51 split put her well ahead of the rest of the women's field. IRONMAN rookie Michi Herlbauer from Austria followed in 51:23 ahead of 2007 champion Edith Niederfriniger (ITA). It was no surprise for Corbin to see Sofie Goos from Belgium in front of her in fifth (52:06), but another Austrian, Lisa Hütthaler, had a great swim, exiting the water in 52:05. Corbin followed in sixth place (53:02) and knew she had to hammer on the bike to catch the strong cyclists ahead. After about 60 km Hütthaler took the lead, dominating on the bike course as she has done already this season on her way to three IRONMAN 70.3 titles. Through 115 km Hütthaler led the race by three minutes over Goos, who was followed by Braendli and Corbin.
"I took a high risk to catch up with her," Corbin said after the race. Corbin reached T2 after an impressive 4:47:03 bike split having passed Hütthaler for the lead at the 150 km point.
"I felt really tired at the start of the marathon," Corbin said, "But I wanted to start fast into the run. I did not want to run with Lisa."
Corbin's 2:56:53 marathon helped her break Mary Beth Ellis' course record by almost a minute, shocking even herself.
"I guess this race has to sink in a bit," she said after recording not only a new personal best, but also one of the fastest IRONMAN times ever.
Braendli passed Hütthaler 14 km into the run, and finished second. Hütthaler was a happy third place finisher, also breaking the nine-hour-mark with her 8:53:20. Goos followed in 8:57:08 ahead of another rookie, Michi Herlbauer (8:59:57).
Rana goes on the bike
As expected the men's race was fast right from the gun. Germany's Faris Al-Sultan took the lead early, but was quickly joined at the front by a huge group. Luiz Francisco Ferreira was first out of the water in 44:17 followed by seven athletes within 23 seconds. In T1 Al-Sultan took the lead and quickly started to hammer away on the bike. Al-Sultan hit the gas for about 100 km before Spaniard Ivan Rana showed up at the front. After his sixth-place finish at the IRONMAN World Championship, Rana had worked a lot on the bike. As Germany's Christian Kramer moved into runner-up position, Al-Sultan found himself dealing with technical issues that forced him to drop out at the 140 km point of the bike. Another surprise came from Austrian rookie Andreas Giglmayer, who was in third. Rana led the race into T2, 2:21 ahead of Kramer and Giglmayer, who was 4:23 behind.
"I was thinking about a 7:45 finish," said Rana after the race. Three years ago Marino Vanhoenacker clocked the IRONMAN world-best time here in 7:45:58. Although he ended up a little slower than Vanhoenacker (7:48:43), Rana was happy.
"Everything worked out in a wonderful way," said the 35-year-old after running a 2:43:43 marathon. Kramer kept the pace up on the run to cross the line in 7:54:31. David Plese (SLO) moved into third place during the run, just as he had done last year, with his 8:02:54 ahead of Austrian rookie Giglmayer (8:09:06). Just a few seconds after Plese crossed the line he took the microphone and asked his fiancée to marry him. After his great race he got the answer he was hoping for: yes!

Long-lost dog found in Nebraska, heading home to New Mexico
Tantrum doesn't exactly live up to her name. The 10-year-old lab-pitbull mix is about as mellow as they come.
She was brought to the Nebraska Humane Society in late February as a stray with what looked like bite marks on her head. When the vets took a closer look, they discovered a microchip.
"They went ahead and did medical treatment. When they scanned her, they found that her chip traced to a name in Las Cruces, New Mexico," said Pam Wiese, of the Nebraska Humane Society.
Tantrum's owner was more than 1,000 miles away. Wiese contacted the owner and learned that the dog had been lost for more than two years.
"Once we did that and he knew that it was her, he started working on getting a plane ticket for her to get back to New Mexico," Wiese said.
Before heading home, Tantrum had to wait for her wounds to heal.
"She can't fly with any type of medical device on," Wiese said. "It needs to be cleared to fly, and so we waited the 10 days for the stitches to come out, then she was cleared to fly."
She's now ready for her reunion.
"It's so exciting that it's been two years and yet she gets to go home," Wiese said. "Her owner is still very excited about getting her back."
Tantrum will head home on Friday, meeting up with her owner in El Paso, Texas, before heading for her home in New Mexico.

Ricky Craig, the man behind Hubcap Grill, has proven in the past that he has a sixth sense when it comes to flavor combinations that might look like a mess on paper but work well in your mouth. He has topped burgers with peanut butter, bacon and grilled bananas; Frito pie; Philly cheesesteak; pimento cheese; and Cheetos, all with great success.
The Dr. Frankenstein of burgers revealed his latest creation, the TamaleBurger, on Wednesday via Twitter. It's a burger topped with two tamales, queso fresco, cilantro, avocado slices and a spicy mole sauce. It looks intense. TamaleBurgers were available Wednesday night at the Hubcap Grill in the Heights, 1133 W. 19th. It may be back next week, Craig tweets, if "all goes well."
He also tipped his hand regarding his next mash-up, the MacDaddyBurger, which involves macaroni and cheese.
The final product. TamaleBurger pic.twitter.com/BvmWAAz8kB

President Barack Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy were caught on a live microphone criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while at the G-20 meeting last week.
According to a report in a French newspaper picked up by the Israeli press, Sarkozy told Obama: "I cannot stand [Netanyahu]. He is a liar."
Obama is said to have replied: "You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!"
The report is hardly surprising as neither world leader has a particularly good relationship with Netanyahu.
Obama has faced criticism domestically for not being a strong enough supporter of Israel — a factor in the Democrats' loss of the New York 9th Congressional district earlier this year. The exchange is likely to resurrect charges that Obama is soft on Israel less than a year before his reelection.
POLITICO's Ben Smith got in touch with Le Monde reporter Arnaud Leparmentier, who was sourced as the person who overheard the conversation. He told Smith that he did not overhear the conversation, but rather got it from a "source."
The White House has yet to comment on the report.
UPDATE: The quotes first appeared in Arret Sur Images in French, and they were likely translated from English (as Obama does not speak French), and then back to English — so they may not be perfect quotes.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Coronary Artery Disease: Family History
People with one or more close relatives who have or had early coronary artery disease (CAD) are at an increased risk for CAD. For men, early CAD is being diagnosed before age 55. For women, early CAD is being diagnosed before 65.footnote 1
A tendency to develop certain risk factors, such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure, may be related to specific inherited genes. Genes are passed on from parent to child and are like the blueprints of the body. They are a code that determines how our bodies are made and how they function.
Inherited lipid disorders can contribute to atherosclerosis and may lead to early CAD. Although family-related behaviors also contribute to the risk of developing CAD, researchers are still working to understand exactly why CAD runs in families.
In addition to inherited factors, there is probably a large environmental component to the increased risk seen in some families. People who smoke expose their family members to secondhand smoke, increasing the risk of heart disease in their family members. Children of parents who smoke are more likely to smoke than children of nonsmokers. Dietary habits may also play a role. Families who eat fatty diets are more likely to develop CAD than those who eat more balanced diets.
Addressing each of these family-related behaviors may greatly reduce your chance of developing CAD.

|Residents of Manatee, Sarasota and Charlotte Counties have an unprecedented opportunity to participate in a historic study that has the potential to change the face of cancer for future generations. Men and women between the ages of 30 and 65 who have never been diagnosed with cancer are needed to participate in the American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). CPS-3 will enroll a diverse population of up to half a million people across the United States and Puerto Rico. The opportunity for local residents to enroll in CPS-3 is being made possible in partnership with Doctors Hospital of Sarasota, Blake Medical Center, Fawcett Memorial Hospital and Manatee Memorial Healthcare System between September 24th-26th. To participate in the study, you must schedule an appointment in advance. To view enrollment locations, dates, and times, please visit www. cancer.org/cps3florida or call 1-888-604-5888.
To enroll in the study, individuals will go to a local enrollment location and will be asked to read and sign an informed consent form; complete a brief survey, have their waist circumference measured; and give a small blood sample. The in-person enrollment process takes approximately 20 – 30 minutes to complete. At home, individuals will complete a comprehensive survey packet that asks for information on lifestyle, behavioral, and other factors related to their health. Upon completion of this process, the Society will continue to send periodic follow-up surveys to update participant information and annual newsletters with study updates and results. The initial and follow-up surveys completed at home will take an hour or less of time to complete and are expected to be sent every few years.
CPS-3 will help researchers better understand the lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer. "My mom is a two-time cancer survivor and I'm doing all I can to make sure my children don't have to say that…. I really believe this (CPS-3) is part of the answer," stated one study participant.
"Many individuals diagnosed with cancer struggle to answer the question, 'What caused my cancer?' In many cases, we don't know the answer," said Alpa V. Patel, Ph.D., principal investigator of CPS-3. "CPS-3 will help us better understand what factors cause cancer, and once we know that, we can be better equipped to prevent cancer." Dr. Patel added, "Our previous cancer prevention studies have been instrumental in helping us identify some of the major factors that can affect cancer risk. CPS-3 holds the best hope of identifying new and emerging cancer risks, and we can only do this if members of the community are willing to become involved."
Researchers will use the data from CPS-3 to build on evidence from a series of American Cancer Society studies that began in the 1950s that collectively have involved millions of volunteer participants. The Hammond-Horn Study and previous Cancer Prevention Studies (CPS-I, and CPS-II) have played a major role in understanding cancer prevention and risk, and have contributed significantly to the scientific basis and development of public health guidelines and recommendations. Those studies confirmed the link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer, demonstrated the link between larger waist size and increased death rates from cancer and other causes, and showed the considerable impact of air pollution on heart and lung conditions. The current study, CPS-II, began in 1982 and is still ongoing. But changes in lifestyle and in the understanding of cancer in the more than two decades since its launch make it important to begin a new study.
The voluntary, long-term commitment by participants is what will produce benefits for decades to come. "Taking an hour or so every few years to fill out a survey – and potentially save someone from being diagnosed with cancer in the future – is a commitment that thousands of volunteer participants have already made. We're looking for more like-minded individuals in our community and the surrounding area to join this effort that we know will save lives and improve the outlook for future generations," said Dr. Patel.
For more information or to learn how to become involved with CPS-3, visit cancer.org/cps3florida, email cps3@cancer org, or call toll-free 1-888-604-5888.
About the American Cancer Society

A local videographer has been ordered to pay more than $500,000 in restitution, penalties and fees after failing to provide prepaid wedding videos to newlyweds, Attorney General Martha Coakley announced Tuesday.
Jesse J. Clarke of Charlton, owner of SureShot Portraits LLC, received the order in a default judgment entered in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston by Judge Paul Troy.
As part of that judgment, Mr. Clark was ordered to pay more than $136,000 in restitution to more than 150 couples, and $370,000 in civil penalties and fees.
In addition, Judge Troy permanently barred Mr. Clark from operating similar businesses as well as from soliciting or accepting deposits from consumers or offering his videography services for sale in Massachusetts.
"SureShot stole thousands of dollars from newlyweds during what should have been the happiest moment of their lives," Ms. Coakley said in a statement released Tuesday afternoon. "We are pleased that this judgment orders restitution for the couples robbed of their priceless memories and permanently prevents the defendant from taking deposits from any consumer in Massachusetts again."
The AG's office received more than 100 complaints from consumers who either gave Mr. Clark a deposit or paid in full for wedding videos that were never delivered. The AG's office obtained a preliminary injunction against Mr. Clark in January, and filed a lawsuit in Suffolk Superior Court seeking restitution, civil penalties and full recovery of all existing footage. The AG's office has collected some footage through the investigation and is contacting some of the consumers.
Mr. Clark had a storefront in Millbury and operated several online websites.
The videography business was known as SureShot Videography, In Focus Studios, Magnolia Films, Wedding Filmology and Wedding Avenue.
Mr. Clark used the aliases John Francis, Jaie Hart and Michael Collins.

The fumbles keep coming for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. He has no explanation.
Vick lost another fumble near the goal-line Sunday, this time during a 16-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He now has six interceptions and five lost fumbles in five games this season. Four have come in the red zone. Two fumbles within the 3-yard line.
NFL Replay
will re-air the Pittsburgh Steelers' 16-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles from Week 5 on Wednesday, October 10 at 9 p.m. ET.
» NFL Network schedule
"I wish I could tell you, but I don't have any explanation," Vick said, as reported by Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia. "I wish I could take back the fumble on the goal line, but I can't. Ultimately, we put ourselves in a position to win this game, but we didn't win. That's how it goes in the NFL.
"You wish you could have some things back and there are plenty of things I wish I could have back through the course of the season, but you can't get them."
Despite the loss and the turnover situation, the Eagles are tied with the New York Giants atop the NFC East.
Does anything run smooth in Philly, though? Every week there seems to be drama over some odd occurrence, whether it's clock management, icing kickers or a variety of things involving Vick. It's hard to believe a team with this talent ranks No. 31 in scoring offense (16 points per game). Four of the five Eagles games have been decided by a combined seven points.
It's hard to put points on the board when you give away the ball.Follow Kareem Copeland on Twitter @kareemcopeland.

Product Description:
Experience the Power of Canon's HS SYSTEM - The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an even wider range of shooting situations. Beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. The system is the result of two technologies brought together in PowerShot cameras: a high-sensitivity imaging sensor, which is able to capture more light; and the DIGIC Image Processor, which actively reduces noise with high-speed image processing. The 16.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor in the PowerShot ELPH 110 HS digital camera incorporates advanced light reception technology that enhances sensitivity. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor provides a major boost in noise reduction, expanding the usable ISO range to an amazing high of ISO 3200. The Canon HS SYSTEM takes the frustration out of low-light shooting, delivering clear, blur-free images.
Style, Sophistication, and Power - Slim and curvy, the PowerShot ELPH 110 HS is a natural fit for your hand. Easy operability and reliable high-quality performance are reason enough to carry it everywhere, but you'll also love the attention-getting quality of the camera's distinctly sophisticated modern design. The matte finish in a wide range of vivid, highly expressive colors projects your taste and style like a fashion accessory, but the PowerShot ELPH 110 HS has its serious side, too. A 16.1 Megapixel high-sensitivity sensor plus Canon's DIGIC 5 Image Processor deliver impeccable image quality and high-performance features never before possible. Experience Face ID that recognizes and optimizes images of your friends and family, Intelligent IS that creates sharp, steady shots in a wide variety of situations, and stunning Full HD Video. Smart AUTO lives up to its name, letting you shoot anywhere, anytime as the mood strikes, confident that the camera will automatically make your images the best they can be.
Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor - The latest-generation Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor brings phenomenal increases in processing speed and power. Improved chip architecture and algorithms deliver greatly expanded functionality with further refinement in image quality. Improved noise reduction produces clearer images when shooting in low light at high ISO speeds. Enhanced i-Contrast performance adjusts differences between light and dark areas to achieve even more natural-looking results. The faster processing speed also results in faster continuous shooting capability while maintaining full image quality. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor also makes possible a new, highly advanced automatic white balance system. Whereas conventional white balance makes an overall adjustment based on a single type of light source, the new Canon Multi-Area White Balance analyzes several areas of the image to determine whether different adjustments are needed, for example, for the main subject and the background.

The Forte boasts class-leading interior space, and, in our opinion, class-leading looks. The interior is classy and intelligently designed, which is to say everything is there where you need it. The seats are comfortable and supportive.
The Forte uses modern four-cylinder engines, notably a 2.4-liter in the upscale SX, which also has an available five-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic manual shifting.
Least expensive is the Forte EX, which comes with a 2.0-liter engine that gets an EPA-estimated 25/34 mpg City/Highway with either the manual transmission or four-speed automatic. Most fuel-efficient, however, is the EX with the Fuel Economy Package, which yields an EPA-estimated 27/36 mpg.
Most fun to drive is the Forte SX equipped with a larger 2.4-liter engine and five-speed automatic. We found the handling in the SX with its sport-tuned suspension taut. The ride is firm but never harsh. It gets 23/31 mpg.
A five-door hatchback version is going on sale for the 2011 model year.
The 2010 Kia Forte is available as the bare-bones LX, the well-equipped EX, and the fully equipped SX.
Forte LX ($13,695) uses Kia's trusty 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine with double overhead cams, and a 5-speed manual transmission, with a four-speed automatic optional ($1000). Upholstery is cloth. Air conditioning and a 60/40 split rear seat are optional ($1500), while power windows, door locks and cruise control are not available. Standard equipment includes a four-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 satellite sound system with USB and aux input jacks, and Bluetooth connectivity.
Forte EX ($15,795) comes with air conditioning, a six-speaker sound system, power windows, power doors, power mirrors, keyless entry, 60/40 split rear seat. The manual transmission comes standard, but there are two optional automatic transmissions, a four-speed and a five-speed. Wheels are the same 15-inch steel, but five-spoke 16-inch alloy wheels are optional. Options include leather upholstery with heated front seats and a power moonroof.
Forte SX ($17,195) uses a 2.4-liter engine with a six-speed manual transmission or five-speed automatic ($1000). A sport-tuned suspension is standard, along with larger front brake rotors, and 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels. The upholstery is a sporty cloth, with metal-finish interior trim and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. Full leather is optional. Fog lamps are standard.
Safety features that come standard on all Kia Forte models include frontal and front side airbags, airbag curtains, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, and a tire pressure monitor.
Walk Around
The new Kia Forte is a looker. It's an excellent example of clean styling, nothing really fancy but with all the right lines. It's not a big car, and it doesn't look big.
It's shaped like a wedge, or appears to be, from the swept-back grille and headlamps carrying through climbing shoulders on the sides of the car, back to the short rear deck. From some angles it looks aggressive, from others subtle. Even the rear door seams carry this wedge line. The Coefficient of Drag is a low 0.29, reflecting the clean wind-cutting shape.
Refreshingly, there are no squared flares over the rear wheelwells. The large taillights have nice angles, and wrap horizontally around the corners of the car and into the trunk lid. The roofline is coupe-like. The 10-spoke alloy wheels on our SX were especially terrific looking. Body-colored mirrors and door handles, hooray.
The front fenders are subtly boxed, but there are no trendy flares there, either. The front valance between the grille and low air intakes is not bulky, as with too many cars, and the three black screened intakes that run the full width of the chin are tidy and businesslike.
The hood, too, is short, accenting the wedge. The short hood and deck mean efficient construction with no excess in overhangs, because the overall length is correct for the compact sedan class. It's got a long wheelbase and wide track for its size, which is the key to all the good proportioning.
Our Forte was parked next to a $100,000 BMW 750Li we were also testing, and frankly, from the rear, the Forte was cleaner and displayed more distinction.
The short hood and rear deck pay off in interior space. The Kia Forte has one of the roomiest interiors in the compact sedan class, with a total of 96.8 cubic feet of passenger volume. That's 3.3 cubic feet more than the 2009 Subaru Legacy. And the Forte's trunk space of 14.7 cubic feet is best in class, matching the redesigned and enlarged midsize 2010 Legacy.
Headroom is good front and rear, while front legroom is ample and rear legroom is 35.0 inches, good for a compact sedan.
The thing that Kia does exceptionally well is execute. The Korean manufacturer copies carefully, and perfects. There's no pretension about being original or unique with the Forte interior, no attempt to re-invent anything. This is excellent, the intelligent antithesis of so many others especially German namely BMW and Audi. The result here is no flaws, no quirks, nothing of debatable taste, just satisfaction, simplicity and convenience.
Here's the list of stuff that's right: brushed aluminum-look trim, good armrests and grab handles, deep door pockets with bottle holder, standard sporty black cloth seats with red stitching, or sharp optional perforated leather upholstery especially handsome in dark gray, nice shift knob in leather and aluminum, deep center console, two easy-to-reach cupholders, good cubby with nearby USB port, lovely center stack, big climate control knobs that are easy to read and operate, eave over the instruments making them easy to read in the sun, sporty aluminum pedals with a great dead pedal, pleasant and efficient cabin lighting.
The front bucket seats are excellent, in classy leather out of its league for a compact sedan. Great firm but not tight bolstering. Nice 60/40 split rear seat with fold-down armrest with two cupholders.
Only criticisms are that we found the air conditioning fan a bit loud, and the roofline's C pillar created a small blind spot when looking over your shoulder.
Driving Impressions
We drove the 173-horsepower 2.4-liter Forte SX with five-speed automatic and the 156-horsepower 2.0-liter Forte EX with five-speed manual.
The Forte EX gets an EPA-estimated 25/34 mpg City/Highway with either the manual transmission or four-speed automatic, compared to the 23/31 mpg of the 2.4-liter Forte SX with the five-speed automatic. Given the performance difference, fuel mileage and lower base price by $1400 would be the only reason to choose the EX. And, considering there are many other worthwhile SX features, the loss of meat is not worth the savings. In other words, we'd spring for the SX.
However there might be an exception. There is a Fuel Economy Package with the EX, including five-speed automatic, electric power steering, a smart alternator, silica tires for low rolling resistance, and an aerodynamic kit that costs $1600, making an Eco EX about the same price as a sporty SX, but it raises the fuel mileage to 27/36 mpg. So if fuel economy is your priority, this is the best choice.
Kia's 2.4-liter engine can't match the reputation of the Mitsubishi 2.4-liter that powers not only the Lancer, but also many Chrysler products, from Jeep Patriot to PT Cruiser. The SX makes a fine 173 horsepower, and its 168 pound-feet peaks at 4000 rpm. It's fun to work the transmission to use the power; the Sportmatic manual mode in the five-speed automatic makes shifting easy.
Forte is a brand-new car and it uses a new ground-up chassis, caging 63 percent of the cabin with high-strength steel, plus ultra high-strength steel in the side sills. This increases rigidity and improves handling. The Forte replaces the Kia Spectra and there's like no comparison in the chassis feel, if not overall quality.
Front suspension is your basic MacPherson strut with coil springs, while in the rear there's nothing fancy, a torsion beam axle again with coil springs. The SX front brakes use 11.8-inch vented discs, and the rears 10.3-inch solid discs, employing an anti-lock brake system with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. Plenty big and responsive for a car of this weight, we can say after using them hard through a twisty section. EX brakes are the same, but with 11.0-inch front discs.
The Forte is quite nimble and fun to drive, with power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and a very tight turning circle. It displays no bad habits as long as you don't ask it to do outlandish cornering things. Among the compact sedans we named in the opening Overview, we'd say the Forte feels most like the Mitsubishi Lancer. The long wheelbase and wide stance are felt in the ride and cornering. Maybe especially the ride, satisfactory on every surface we drove the SX. Firm but not harsh. The SX comes with firmer springs and shocks and a larger front anti-roll bar, which is another reason it's a great value for just $1400 more than the EX.
For real sport-driving excitement, watch for the Forte Koup (as in coupe), coming soon.
We tested the Forte right after the all-new Subaru Legacy, and it might not be fair to compare the two because they're in a different class, but we can say that the Forte did not feel as solid as the Legacy. It felt lighter, if not tinnier. And it is lighter, by about 500 pounds, tipping the scales at a lithe 2868 pounds. And that's our SX; the EX is 150 pounds lighter than that.
The Kia Forte is a new model, and Kia has nailed it, in the compact sedan class. It's a stylish, pretty car, with no flaws in the execution. Plenty of safety, class-leading cabin space, intelligent and handsome interior, and good handling on a wide stance. There's a choice of engines and transmissions yielding comparable performance, and finally the price of a strong contender.
Sam Moses filed his report to NewCarTestDrive.com after his test drive of Kia Forte models near Seattle.

Woman, 52, killed in crash with daughter on Lake Tahoe
A 52-year-old New Jersey woman was killed Wednesday when the personal watercraft she was riding on Lake Tahoe collided with another operated by her daughter.
The incident occurred at 1:50 p.m. roughly 200 yards off the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe-owned beach in Incline Village, said Edwin Lyngar, public information officer for the Nevada Department of Wildife's law enforcement division.
The daughter, 21, was riding a personal watercraft when, for unknown reasons, she crashed into her mother's personal watercraft, Lyngar said.
The mother — identified Thursday by the Washoe County Medical Examiner's Office as Westwood, N.J., resident Dawn Finn — "was killed almost on impact," Lyngar said. She reportedly suffered massive trauma.
The daughter, also of Westwood, N.J., was not injured.
"This is just a tragic accident. Our hearts go out to the family involved. It's just horrific," Lyngar said.
An NDOW representative and other emergency responders were on the scene by 2:12 p.m., Lyngar said, but CPR on Finn was unsuccessful.
NDOW has taken possession of the two watercraft, which were rented from Action Water Sports, as part of the department's ongoing investigation, Lyngar said.
"As tragic as this is, it serves as a reminder for people to be careful when on unfamiliar watercraft … especially if they're inexperienced in operating them," he said. "They are very powerful machines and can be very dangerous."
Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash, Lyngar said.

New tools reveal new truths about fungi, flies, antibiotics
In the newsroom, any story about a new scientific method faces an uphill battle. Editors are likely to reject such a story; writers themselves often downplay these stories because they've learned that the answer is usually "no." To those of us who follow science, how scientists do what they do becomes important, and thus worth writing about, only once a new method reveals a novel truth about nature. We are after the "what," not necessarily the "how" (although we always make a point to summarize how a discovery is made).
In this issue, hidden in plain sight, are a number of stories that feature in one way or another new — or newly applied — methods, what the tools reveal about the world and, perhaps even more interesting to watchers of human nature, the many aftershocks new tools can create.
The study of fungal forms, for example, is an old science. But genetic tools have enabled new, more

'Inventing' A Way Of Life, And A Nation With It
Inventing Our Life: The Kibbtuz Experiment

- Genre: Documentary
- Running Time: 80 minutes

In English and Hebrew with subtitles

From 'Inventing Our Life: The Kibbutz Experiment' - '1'
'A Kind Of Adventure'
In 1945, shortly after my father was demobilized from the British army, my parents packed their bags and went to help found a kibbutz near Galilee, in the north of what was then Palestine. Along with a crew of other young Jewish socialists and refugees from European anti-Semitism, these two city dwellers set to work draining swamps and replacing them with fish ponds and fruit orchards, building collectives out of spartan shacks and collective dining halls, and raising their children in communal nurseries. (I was one of those children, but aside from the Stepford stare you can hardly tell.)
Unlike many women who quickly came to resent handing over their babies to be cared for in batches, my mother loved the extrovert life of the kibbutz, as well as the chore-free time it gave her with her two children. My father, a loner who liked to do things his way, never came to terms either with the stringent rules of the collective or the failure of those around him to observe them to the letter. Within six years, my parents left the kibbutz with us in tow, and in another four, stymied by the difficulties of survival in an emergent subsistence economy, they returned to London.
One of them, at least, regretted that decision forever. In the atomized wastes of suburban London, I feasted on my mother's vivid memories of communal life. I'd go on to spend time on various kibbutzim between bouts of schooling, and in 1971, as a college graduate, strident egalitarian and young bride, I prepared to follow in my parents' footsteps.
But when it came to the crunch, I balked, realizing that the kibbutz — a radical reorganization of the family designed to spring women from their traditional roles, yet which employed them primarily as cooks, laundry workers and preschool teachers — was no place for an eggheaded city girl with vaguely artsy ambitions. Remembering my previous sojourns, I also had to admit that the scrupulously egalitarian social arrangements of which I so approved had on a daily basis bored me silly. In theory, utopia is thrilling; in practice, it can be a recipe for monotony.
Those dilemmas, among many others, are explored in Inventing Our Life, Toby Perl Freilich's sympathetic but probing account of the rise, fall and rebirth of a movement that defined the early character of the fledgling state of Israel. Disproportionate to its numbers (only 5 percent of the rapidly growing nation of immigrants), the kibbutz movement — founded by fugitives from Eastern European pogroms but devoted to Soviet principles of absolute equality — fed the country's political and military elites, and shaped its commitment to democratic socialism. It was in the kibbutz, dedicated to nature, agriculture and self-reliance, that the muscular New Jew rose from the ashes of the Jew as a helpless victim of persecution.
Until, that is, those same New Jews, weary of regimented living and restless for adventure, left the kibbutz in droves to travel the world, then embraced the vital, chaotic and robustly capitalist Israel that emerged in the 1980s. They broke their parents' hearts — and by the very Darwinian principles it sought to overcome, the kibbutz had to adapt, to reinvent itself again, or go under.
Freilich, who made the similarly excellent 2003 documentary Secret Lives: Hidden Children and Their Rescuers, comes to her subject with a generous curiosity and a gift for digging beneath the usual debates about socialism vs. capitalism. Instead, Inventing Our Life hosts a conversation about a utopian dream as it encounters the realities of social change and human limitation. One grizzled founding father tells of having commandeered the abandoned houses of fleeing Arab villagers in order to build his paradise on earth. "It was difficult," he says, apparently only half aware of the way that act violated his commitment to social justice. "But we took it."
In addition to the older kibbutzniks who remain committed to the first principles of collective living, Freilich finds youngsters who returned or joined the kibbutz on their own terms, reshaping it in ways that nurtured their desire for an ethical and affluent life they could control themselves. She tracks down a philosopher and a poet who remember their kibbutz childhoods with affection tempered by frustration at the enforced conformity, and in some cases the trauma of being ridiculed merely for straying from the norm.
Today there are 270 kibbutzim in Israel. Most have industrialized and privatized; as one older member observes wryly in the film, "The only purely socialist kibbutzim are the rich ones." Some kibbutz members own stock options and second homes. Cash-strapped kibbutzim have hired privatization consultants and abandoned strict income equality in favor of differential pay for different work. Only a handful still raise their kids communally; most have closed their dining halls.
Judged by the ideological terms on which it was founded, you could say the kibbutz experiment has failed. I, for one, could never have made a permanent home there. Yet the sense of community was real, and those cavernous dining halls supply some of the happiest memories of my youth. You can keep your rock-concert reminiscences: For me, there was nothing finer than Shabbat dinner with several hundred of my close family, dressed in white with flowers on the tables, arms linked as we sang for our supper.

An atheist cannot celebrate Christmas, but X-mas is A-Okay!
It's not about god or the savior or anything like that, It's about being a good person that gives to and cares for the world and the people in it. Only celebrate it if you believe in that, not for the presents.
Dear Folks:
Over the last several years, I have asked family to not give me gifts at xmas. I have enough stuff, I would rather celebrate the death/birth of someone more recent, and I am a little too old to care about the stuff under the tree unless it is true plasma rifle,,;p)
So far it has not worked. My mother goes all out, with a big box of stuff for everyone that shows up at xmas eve. We do have a nice dinner, which I always look forward to, but is now small and dad passed sometime ago. Most of the kids have gone off on their own lives, spread over the north American continent. Mom has mostly given up on religion, it just does not seem to do her any good.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Erin M.
Wednesday, October 2, 2013
By: Erin Medovich
As a brand new mom at the young age of 24, I survived two strokes after using the NuvaRing as a birth control method for 13 months after my daughter was born. After having hives all weekend long, in and out of the Emergency Department and driving home from a usual Walmart trip for diapers and wipes, I got out of the car only to find myself uncontrollably dizzy-to the point of needing my husband's help inside the house. Being stubborn since we had been to the hospital twice this past weekend and not wanting to go back, I had my husband call over an EMT neighbor to check and see if this was something to call an ambulance about or not. I was SO scared yet didn't want to worry my young daughter so we waited it out a bit until the ambulance arrived and my mom came to watch my daughter.
So, after an overnight and being admitted to the hospital with extensive testing for 18 hours thereafter, they discovered that I had two hemorrhagic strokes. I am still battling with left side weakness and have now been on Coumadin since 2010, after finding of Antiphospholipid Syndrome and now Lupus. Always getting sick since my immune system is compromised now, but dealing with every day life and trying to find my way in life after all of this.

Santa Barbara, Calif. -
The UC Santa Barbara men's soccer team dominated much of its match against the University of Denver on Sunday, but their inability to take advantage of an 11-4 shot advantage cost them dearly.
Reserve midfielder R.J. Smith scored on a shot from the top of the penalty box, after a throw-in by Michael Piserchio was headed out of the goal box by a Gaucho defender. The tally by the Pioneers came in the 84th minute, and it represented the only goal of the match, giving Denver a 1-0 victory.
UCSB forward Rob Friend had six of his team's 11 shots, but he was frustrated by Pioneer goalkeeper Parker Jarvis, who finished with five saves. Gaucho goalkeeper Dan Kennedy did not record a save in the match, and he had really no chance to save the game-winner by Smith.
The loss by the Gauchos is their third of the season and it drops them to 4-3-2. Denver is now 6-2-3. UCSB has now scored just one goal in its last three matches, a period spanning 330 minutes. The opposition, however, has not been much more productive, scoring just two goals in that time.
The Gauchos return to the Harder Stadium pitch on Friday, October 12, when they host Cal State Fullerton in the Big West opener at 7:00 p.m.

A Pretty Pink Quilt
Finally a finish! To say I have under gone some life changes is an absolute understatement! And as a result I have not had much time to sew. However, I did finally get this cute little pink quilt finished. (And not a minute too soon. I the tiny recipient was born in Dallas, Texas a week ago.) Yipee!
And of course, I pieced the back!
It felt really good to be sewing again. After taking an unintended breather, (Your life falling apart usually makes that happen)I'm back to sewing my brains out whenever possible.
And more exciting news? My girlfriend, Miss V,Is coming to Austin on Wednesday. We are going to Houston for the BIG SHOW on Friday. (Yes, that's right 5 days of quilt stuff together! Yipee!!!) So if you see two tall women (I'm 5'8 and she is 6 ft) with short hair at the quilt show in Houston, it could very well be us. So, come say "HI"! We'd luv to visit ya!
Happy sewing!!!

I know some people will bristle at this, but I have to be honest – I'm not really a fan of beauty pageants.
Though I've heard arguments to the contrary, I feel they exploit young women. To me, anytime you base winning a scholarship – or any prize – on how good a girl looks in a bathing suit, she is being objectified. I feel that even more strongly as the ages descend to the yougest girls who compete.

**Today's Special comes from our good friend at Odin Brewing, Mark Leavens. Mark's great discussion with Joe Meitl, Kitchen Manager at Seattle's iconic Atlantic Crossing Pub, is the basis for today's article. You might have seen the AC on ESPN during the World Cup? Yeah, its a pretty big deal.***
What catches your eye in today's fast-paced, materialistic, and consumer driven society? Is it bright colors or catchy slogans? What about somebody dressed up like a stupid fucking gorilla? Yeah, maybe you look, but most likely you hate obnoxiously fake primates and get the hell out of there.
But once you've regained composure and a leisurely stroll down the sidewalk, you'll then pass numerous sandwich boards featuring that establishment's latest pitch to get you inside: 'Happy hour 4-6, trade your gold for cash, buy one foot get the second foot free pedicure.'
Boring! I don't read those and I can't imagine many of you do either. I'm American and I'm struggling with ADHD or just too damn busy to be bothered by a sandwich board! But the other day I ran into a board that actually got me to stop, AND read, AND then enter the building!
Brilliant! An astronaut floating in space and sneezing blood all over the galaxy after their mask implodes. Now this is what it takes to get me to stop AND focus AND read the other side AND go inside. I had to meet the creative genius behind the board and have a beer, of course.
Joe Meitl of the Atlantic Crossing Pub works as the Kitchen Manager and has a direct line of sight from the kitchen out to his eye-catching work of art:
"We originally got the board as a way of promoting our daily specials and events, and for a while we were using it for exactly that. I used to get frustrated at how few people actually stopped to read it.
At first I started adding little notes to the bottom, just to see if anyone would catch it. 'Arm wrestle the bartender for a free glass of water', or 'Stripper Pole is getting installed this weekend!' and still I heard few comments on it.
I was eventually convinced that no one was reading it, not even the bartenders. That's when I decided to start having fun with it.
My sous chef (Jonus Brown) and I started drawing comics, writing song lyrics, and insults. One of my favorite boards was a response to the sandwich board that the pet store just a few doors up from us, puts out everyday. They rarely change their board and I was tired of seeing, 'Lots of Baby Budgies and Cockatiels for Sale,' and so my next board's response was, 'Beer Battered Baby Budgies and Cockatiels for Sale.' No one said anything about that one either. At that point we had essentially stopped posting specials and were just having fun with it.
Since then, I have noticed more people stopping to read it, which feels good. We get a lot of foot traffic on this street and if I can make a few people smile on their way to work then it is worth the time.
It does take time though, and a hell of a lot of creative energy. I sometimes feel like I am simply building sand castles, because everything I create is either eaten instantly or erased within a week. I'm lucky the owner, Gareth, has an open mind and a busy schedule, that the bartenders here have a good sense of humor, and of course my favorite amendment is the first one. I'd like to think I've offended at least a few people, and of course I'll keep trying."
Please do Joe, because if being people are being offended, they probably deserve it. Plus, we all need to slow the hell down and laugh a little bit more. So thank you for slowing me to a stop, and drawing me into the Atlantic Crossing Pub.
If you've never been to this Roosevelt neighborhood pub, you may have already seen a clip from the latest World Cup that was shown on ESPN and won an ESPY for best reaction shot.
I recommend checking this bar out and grabbing a bite to eat. They serve the full menu until ONE A.M.! And as Joe would say, "we have smoking hot bartenders!"
And at the very least, avoid the gorilla and check out Joe and Jonus' sandwich board! Who knows what they'll come up with next?

Project Profile: Emma-Kate Lidbury on Going Longer
Tips for racing, and stepping up between race distances, from a newly-relocated pro.
However good they are and whatever the sport, pros are people too. Some come from athletic families, and some from more humble beginnings. British triathlete Emma-Kate Lidbury is one of the latter. From an early age, Lidbury set her initial ambitions in words, rather than sports. Although she swam competitively in school and even earned her degree in sports science, she had her eye on becoming a top-tier Fleet Street journalist, working among the best in Britain's newspaper industry. Having completed her post-graduate studies in journalism, she worked at The Oxford Times where, one day, she was assigned a story on triathletes.
Lidbury's athletic background made her the perfect candidate to research the world of endurance sports by racing the inaugural Blenheim Triathlon. She was instantly hooked. Lidbury has since advanced her professional career and moved to the United States. We recently sat down with Emma-Kate, or 'Eccles' as her friends call her, to discuss her career and the upcoming season.
Rudy Project: Earlier this year you won the Desert Triathlon in Palm Springs, but you're most most well known as an IRONMAN 70.3 athlete.
Emma-Kate Lidbury: Olympic distance races are a lot shorter than the races I'm used to. I've been focusing on IRONMAN 70.3 racing for the last few seasons, but really, I had a long break from racing over the winter. I hadn't raced since the end of September, 2013. With the racing season beginning in Oceanside, both my coach and I wanted to get me back into that "racing groove." Palm Springs turned out to be a good way to blow away the cobwebs from the winter.
Do you use shorter races as fitness markers or to test power or nutrition?
All of the above. I've teamed up with a new nutrition company and have been working with their chief scientist and sports nutritionist, Dr. Stacy Simms. It was an overall confidence booster to try some things of various intensity that I had been working on in training. It was good for transition practice, too, all the skills that get rusty. Power on the bike, run pacing, swim and water skills, you name it.
Is it true that you'll be racing your first IRONMAN event this year?
I've only ever raced IRONMAN 70.3 races up until now. Since 2009 I've been saying "next year I'll do an IRONMAN event." Then it's next year and next year. At the back end of last year, Matt (Dixon) said to me that 2014 might be the time, and that I've got to bite the bullet. I've loved focusing on IRONMAN 70.3 races, but in the back of my mind qualifying for, racing in, and competing at Kona, ultimately, is every triathlete's dream. I plan to race from April through to November and do my first IRONMAN race then: IRONMAN Arizona. I'm excited!
Is there any advice you'd give to newcomers to the sport?
You've got to to really enjoy and embrace the sport. I can't think of another sport with this kind of camaraderie, and you can learn so much and make huge gains in a very short time because of that. So I'd say embrace and enjoy that.
How about for someone trying their first IRONMAN 70.3?
Pace yourself well, and trust in your training. Don't do anything different on race day. Get your fueling and hydration right. I think a lot of people who first step up to racing for five hours or more can't really get away without figuring out the right calories and hydration mix. Pay particular attention to that. Get in there, and enjoy the last five miles of the run where the big monster jumps on your back.
How do you gauge when your nutrition and training is in balance?
Over the winter when the intensity of training begins to scale down, you can change things more easily. But I'm working closely with my coach as well to see what I need to fine tune, and that can change week to week. There's trial and error involved, a little bit of experimenting, but it's good to have experts on hand to help me.
You moved to LA from the UK in January of last year. Do you feel it was a good choice for your career?
Although training in the UK got me to a certain point where I was a "good enough" athlete, both Matt and I thought that if I wanted to fulfill my potential I needed to be among other like-minded, positive and strong triathletes. I got to a point where I just had to take a leap of faith and leave behind everyone I knew. I knew it could go one of two ways, and it went the best possible way. It's the best move I've ever made. I couldn't be happier here professionally and personally, and that's reflected in my training and performance.
Do you have any favorite training routes in Santa Monica?
In the summer, one of favorite workouts is from Tower 26 on the beach, so that's my favorite swim workout. I'm always riding in the canyons—once you get beyond Malibu and go up into the Santa Monica mountains it's stunning. I love to run along the beach path where you've got the Pacific ocean over your right shoulder. I often have to pinch myself and ask "Am I really here? Is this where I live?"
If you started a company tomorrow, what would it be?
Probably something ice-cream/cookie/candy related. I'd like to develop an app so that if you had a sugar craving you could order instant ice cream or cookies to your door.
Do you have a favorite ice cream flavor?
It's a tossup between caramel and rocky road.
What's with the nickname?
Matt gave it to me when I first started working with him and the whole purple patch squad has now adapted it. It's going to be on my kit this year, too. I comes from my initials, and secondly, these English cakes called eccles that are very similar to scones. So as of this year, I'm "Eccles Brit Chick."
