Chepstow cyclists' London-Paris ride raises £25k
4:33pm Friday 6th June 2014 in News
TWO Chepstow women have completed their challenge to cycle from London to Paris - helping to raise a staggering £25,000 for charity.
Julie Lord, 52, of Chepstow and Jo Cann, 51, of Devauden were part of Team Nick along with three other Cann family members who rode the 325 miles.
The team left on May 10 to raise money for Stroke Association, a charity which works directly with stroke survivors and their families and carers.
Mrs Cann's husband Nick who is the chief executive of IFP had a stroke in March 2013, when he was 50-years-old.
The Argus previously reported how the team had hoped to raise around £14,500 but their challenge saw them go way beyond this.
Speaking about the challenge Ms Lord, a financial planner at Towry, said: "It was fantastic, we started riding at 7am on the Wednesday and by 4pm on the Thursday we were in Paris. It was roughly the time we we're aiming for.
"We are absolutely delighted with the money we have raised, never in our wildest dreams did we think we would reach that amount. My initial target was £3,000."
She added: "The money will be put towards organising a stroke victim's contact group for people who have speech impediments. It's difficult for stroke victims to communicate, especially with other people finishing their sentences for them."
The team have raised £25,300 from sponsorship, donations and by hosting a dinner in London which raised £8,000.
Ms Lord said: "We are taking part in the Dragon Ride at the weekend which will be from Margam Park to the Brecon Beacons. We've both caught the riding bug."

Faculty Highlights - Andre Khalil
A method developed by a UMaine mathematician to get a much more detailed look at cellular morphology has the potential to aid in early cancer detection. Andre Khalil has developed a computational algorithmic method for characterizing three-dimensional images of cellular nuclei. Using new analysis and measurement algorithms, the procedure can quantify for the first time in unprecedented detail the size, shape, position and proximity of chromosomes in cell nuclei, a breakthrough in creating an extensive new baseline database of cellular structure.

A Superb Superhero Movie
By HermyG13
It makes perfect sense that I, a seventeen year old girl who had never seen any of the previous Superman movies, would fall head over heels for the man in tights. I have changed so much since seeing the film that I now arrive at the part that may cause pain to those of you actually reading this review, a part which contains the disappearance of the Harry Potter desktop and screensaver on my computer for that of the Man of Steel and his amazing curl in the front.
Superman Returns begins where Richard Lester's Superman II left off, with Superman returning from his trip to Krypton in search of the remains of his home planet. After an absence of five years, he returns only to find the Earth he left in a completely different state. In a scene at the beginning of the movie, Clark Kent changes the channels on the television set only to find news depicting scenes of terror. Surely the world is in need of a savior; it just does not know it yet.
Any Harry Potter fan would both notice and enjoy the parallelism between Superman's role in saving Earth and Harry Potter's role in saving the wizarding world. While Kal-El was sent to Earth by his father to help its civilians become better people by freeing them from chaos, Harry Potter must defeat the Dark Lord so that terror in the Muggle and wizarding worlds stops because of a prophecy made that says "either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…" 1
It seems fitting that at the helm of a movie of such magnitude is Bryan Singer, who is no stranger to superhero movies after directing the first two X-Men movies. Bryan Singer's vision of an internally struggling superhero and a storyline that continues from Richard Donner's and Richard Lester's films allows previous fans of Superman to relate to and enjoy the growth of the character, which makes a perfect fit.
Brandon Routh, who plays Superman and Clark Kent, is eye candy, but also gives the franchise hope with his acting and eerie resemblance to Christopher Reeve. Clean shaven, tall, and fit, he is the embodiment of what Superman promotes: "truth, justice" but no longer just the "American way." 2 Director Bryan Singer, as well as screenwriters Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris, focused on bringing Superman to contemporary society because of the caped crusader's gap between films (nearly twenty years). 3
It seems that both J.K. Rowling and the geniuses behind Superman agree that the world around us should be an important factor in a piece of work that not only includes good, but evil. The environment surrounding the main character provides a more believable world, and thus, hero, because the audience can better relate to him. The best thing about Harry Potter is that his experiences resemble those that we encounter in our lives: making mistakes, growing up, and so forth. Clark Kent, Superman's alternate ego, is not perfect as well, but the embodiment of the everyday person who even has trouble getting the girl.
Therefore, Superman's place in the world is challenged by none other than his love interest Lois Lane, played by Kate Bosworth, who has moved on with a fiancé and five year old son. "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman" won Lois Lane a Pulitzer, but was it really a cover-up for her disappointment in the Man of Steel's departure without a goodbye? Just as our hero Harry Potter tries to form some sense of identity and decide what is best for those around him, Superman must balance the cries of help from around the world and his alter ego Clark Kent's insecurities.
While Kate Bosworth is not necessarily on my good list for being Orlando Bloom's girlfriend, her independent yet unsure Lois Lane impressed me, especially after seeing Win a Date With Tad Hamilton. Not only does Lois Lane have to pull duties as a reporter, but as a mommy, which Kate Bosworth convincingly does throughout the film.
Of course the movie has the Academy Award for Special Effects in the bag, but Superman Returns represents so much more than a blue screen and computer-animated plane crashes.
While Kal-El may be from another planet, he experiences human emotions, mainly love, in the form of the independent Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane. Since the previous Superman movies did not focus on relationships as much as Superman Returns does, 4 the movie comes as a breath of fresh air because of it.
One of the best things about Harry Potter is his life-like personality as well. Harry Potter is like any true teenager: unsure of himself and his place in society, tactless with girls, and at times extremely moody. J.K. Rowling's ability to convey Harry Potter's emotions so accurately finds competition in Superman Returns due in large part to Bryan Singer's directorial role which has Superman questioning whether the world or Lois Lane still needs him.
From Clark Kent's awkwardness while greeting Lois Lane for the first time in five years to a rather beautifully written and directed scene where Superman takes Lois Lane flying, the elements that made Spiderman 2 the best superhero movie of all-time work wonders for the last son of Krypton.
The movie alternatively describes the schemes of Lex Luthor, played brilliantly by Kevin Spacey, as well as Brandon Routh's portrayals of Superman and Clark Kent. Lex Luthor, who weaseled his way out of a jail sentence of five years because of Superman's absence, receives the fortune of an elderly woman he both charmed and tricked for benefits in her will, much like Tom Riddle wins over Hepzibah Smith and eventually kills her. 5 With a bald head and sinister stare, Lex Luthor and his chums use special crystals from the Fortress of Solitude deep down within the Earth to create large land masses that will not only alter the shape of the globe, but kill billions of people in the process. 6
Although the beginning seems much like the Harry Potter movies, which try to fit in all the background information to get to the meat of the story rather slowly, Superman Returns more than makes up for it with its great balance of effects and plot, a mix that can be found in all of the Harry Potter books which combines romance, adventure, and mystery.
However, after seeing the movie twice (with at least two more on the way), I cannot help but feel ripped off each time the credits begin to roll. SPOILER From the long and tense CGI-filled airplane sequence where Superman saves an airplane containing a bunch of reporters including Lois Lane from crashing to the climax which contains the near-death of Superman due to Lex Luthor and Kryptonite, I hoped that there would be some sense of closure by the end of the movie, unlike the route Spiderman took.
Of course, it was silly of me to think this way when going into the theater I very well knew that Brandon Routh had signed up for at least two sequels (although Bryan Singer announced a sequel at the earliest in 2009), 7 which made it even more of a struggle when Superman learns the identity of Lois Lane's son's father, as well as says his infamous lines of "I'm always around" and "Goodnight Lois" which had me internally telling myself not to throw popcorn at the screen and dislike the movie because of its ending.
I know that quite a few fans, including myself, must have been extremely put-off at the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince when Harry Potter breaks up with his girlfriend Ginny Weasley in an attempt to keep her out of harm's way. Not only is there no sense of closure in both Superman and Harry Potter's lives, but there also remains the need to know what will happen next in the lives of these fictional characters we have come to know.
Who knows what Superman will have in store for the future? Since 1938, Superman has endured, and Bryan Singer says it is because "…by virtue of his [Superman's] idealism and noble point of view, he makes us feel safe. He does it with an eloquence we like to see." 8
One only hopes that with its sequels, Superman will continue in the style of this superb movie, and finally return to the hearts of the people once more.

Here is the latest Talking Chop Braves Mailbag. Thanks to everyone who submitted questions on Twitter.
@Chrisbam1: Is it ridiculous to think we need to trade for a star pitcher when we already have a pitching surplus? May need in October
Adding a front-line starter to the rotation would be nice, but it's tough to see it happening.
The Braves don't really have the prospects to land a guy like David Price. They don't have the money to get Cliff Lee. Someone like Matt Garza, Yovani Gallardo or Bud Norris would be nice, but all of those guys are 1) going to cost a lot in prospects and 2) not going to make a huge difference on a team that's already pretty darn good. Unless there's just a can't-miss deal that falls into Frank Wren's lap, I expect he'll focus solely on the bullpen the next three weeks.
@JDunnah: How important is a good leadoff hitter, really? Reds won 97 games without one.
I think one thing is pretty clear when it comes to lineup construction: if a team has good hitters, they're going to score runs. That was the case for the Reds last season and it's the same way for the Braves in 2013.
A leadoff hitter who gets on base, steals bases and scores runs is a beautiful thing. Would the Braves rather Andrelton Simmons have a higher OBP? Absolutely. And it sure would be nice to do more of what the 2012 team seemed to do, which was manufacture an early run to put the pressure on the opposition.
At the end of the day, though, as long as the bats in the middle of the order continue to produce, the lineup will be fine.
@BravesEdits: Do you think Huddy re-signs? I see him retiring.
My initial reaction to this was a pretty quick 'no', but I think it's probably 50/50 at this point. As is usually the case with the Braves, it's going to come down to his contract demands.
If Hudson is willing to take a one-year deal worth $5-6 million and some incentives, I think the club would take him back. Maybe even add in a mutual option for the second year. If he wants much more than this, I think he'll retire or play his final season or two elsewhere.
Mike Minor, Kris Medlen and Julio Teheran aren't going anywhere. Assuming he's healthy -- and he should be after being 20 months removed from Tommy John Surgery -- Brandon Beachy is going to start.
That leaves one open spot. Paul Maholm probably isn't returning. It's unclear if the team feels prospects Alex Wood, J.R. Graham and Cody Martin are ready to make 25+ starts in the big leagues. There's always a chance Frank Wren could bring in a free agent or make a trade, too.
If I had to guess right now, I'd say Hudson won't be back in Atlanta next year. There are bigger fish to fry.
@Gameday_Chatter: Who's out when Beachy is ready to start?
Maholm makes the most sense. He's gone at the end of the year and has been pretty mediocre since his scoreless innings streak to begin the season.
Medlen could be an option for the bullpen, but given how good it's been lately thanks to the emergence of guys like Luis Avilan, Anthony Varvaro and David Carpenter, he will likely stay in the rotation. Hudson doesn't exactly seem like a guy who's going to pitch the 8th inning of a close game, either. Minor and Teheran obviously aren't moving.
In the end, I see either Maholm being traded to a club in contention for a B-level prospect or two, or Beachy going to the bullpen and making a spot start if the team needs him to do so.

Elaine was born May 22nd, 1930, at Curtis, Nebraska, to Russell Dell and Vida Faye (Miller) Garrison. She attended Lincoln High School, where she graduated in 1948. After graduation, Elaine entered the Bryan School of Nursing in Lincoln and graduated in 1951. Elaine excelled through the nursing school; she went on to obtain a Bachelor's degree from Nebraska Wesleyan University in 1961 and Master's Degree at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln in 1978. Her career in nursing spanned for 40 years; many of those years were spent educating student nurses at the Bryan Hospital School of Nursing. She held many positions in the school during her tenure. At the time of her retirement in 1991, she had worked her way up to being the Director of the School of Nursing. Throughout Elaine's lengthy career, she had the opportunity to train and befriend many good people for the profession, some of whom became lifelong friends. She was proud to have served for four years on the State Board of Nursing as well as many other nursing organizations.To Elaine, taking care of people in need was a calling. Nursing was second nature to her, as her mother served as a nurse before her. Even during the four years she spent at the Golden LivingCenter, Elaine assisted many residents and would offer advice to the nurses. She was described by staff as having a sweet spirit. When the stresses of work necessitated an outlet, she enjoyed camping, fishing and spending time with friends and her beloved black poodles, Missy and Nicki.Elaine was preceded in death by her parents and grandparents.Survivors include her three cousins; Don Miller of Spearfish, South Dakota, George Miller of Piedmont, South Dakota and Betty Goff of Dayton, Washington and her two best friends; Phyllis Bovee of Cozad and Phylis Hollamon Berg of Martell, Nebraska; along with the countless people whose lives she touched throughout her career as a nurse and educator.Memorials are suggested to the Bryan Foundation designated to the Elaine Garrison scholarship, 1600 S 48th Street, Lincoln, Nebraska, 68506.A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013, at 1 p.m. at Roper & Son's Funeral Home, 4300 O Street, Lincoln, Nebraska, with Pastor Darrel Berg officiating. A private inurnment will be in the Lincoln Memorial Park at a later date.Berryman Funeral Home in Cozad and Roper & Son's Funeral Home in Lincoln are in charge of arrangements.

Apple rival Microsoft is one of the largest purchasers of green power in the U.S. The EPA recently recognized it as the third largest purchaser of green power in the U.S., buying up more than 1.1 billion kilowatt-hours of green power a year.
Microsoft has been dabbling in renewable energy for more than a decade. In 2004, it installed what at the time was Silicon Valley's largest solar power system, which produced 480 kilowatts at peak capacity. The solar farm was composed of 2,288 tiles, and today offsets as much as 15 percent of Microsoft's energy needs at a five-building campus with about 1,800 workers, according to Microsoft spokesman Doug Free.
The company is now exploring using biogas from landfills to power its facilities. Last fall, Microsoft's Global Foundation Services Group, which runs the company's cloud services and data centers, unveiled a data center that will run on biogas produced by a local Wyoming landfill and water treatment facility. The "mini-data center" will use 200 kilowatts coming from the biogas facilities, said Henretig.
But Microsoft's largest investment has been in hydroelectric energy because the company's headquarters, and 60 percent of its operations, is located in the Puget Sound region of Washington state. About 46 percent of the energy used by Microsoft's Redmond, Wash., campus comes from hydroelectricity, and most of the power for its data center in Quincy, Wash. is from hydropower generated in the Columbia River Basin. That alone put Microsoft in the No. 3 spot on the EPA's top 50 green companies in 2012.
At the top of the list was Intel. Officials there declined to speak about Intel's renewable energy program.
The carrot and the stick
Microsoft said what really sets it apart is its carbon fee. The fee, implemented last July, is a charge-back model to business divisions that use energy that produces carbon emissions. Microsoft's business groups were told they must build into their budgets the price of carbon emissions for the energy they use.
The business divisions pay a carbon fee for each metric ton of carbon emissions associated with the operation of data centers, software development labs, office buildings and employee air travel. The carbon fee goes into a central fund used to purchase renewable energy and carbon offsets to achieve net carbon neutrality.
The charge-back model makes the company's business divisions responsible for the cost of offsetting the carbon emissions, Henretig said. It also forces business units to include carbon in their long-term cost plans and figure out how to not only reduce the amount of energy they require, but how to make investments that will lead to the transition to cleaner sources of energy.
"We are trying to push accountability out within the company to the point of use," said Henretig, who would not disclose the fee Microsoft charges divisions or carbon emissions.

District Guide
Klang, formerly known as Kelang, is the royal capital of the state of Selangor. It is located within the Klang District in Klang Valley. It is located about 32 km to the west of Kuala Lumpur and 6 km east of Port Klang. It was the civil capital of Selangor in an earlier era prior to the emergence of Kuala Lumpur and the current capital, Shah Alam. Port Klang, which is located in the Klang District, is the 13th busiest trans-shipment port and the 16th busiest container port in the world. The local municipal council of Klang, Majlis Perbandaran Klang (MPK), exercises jurisdiction for a majority of the Klang District.
Klang is well known for a lot of Chinese cuisine (e.g: Bak Kut Teh, Chick Kut Teh, Chee Cheong Fun, and many more). Seafood cuisine is also one of Klang's most famous must-haves and some of the well-known places to have seafood is at Teluk Gong and Tanjung Harapan. The restaurants here are known for their crabs, prawns and a few other dishes. Besides having a diverse choice of food, Klang has many shopping centers, medical and education facilities and most of all, transportation.
To reach Klang by car, there are 3 major highways linking to Klang. The North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) links the Bukit Raja toll plaza in Klang to the North-South Highway. Visitors from Shah Alam, Subang,
Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur can use the Federal Highway to reach Klang. Visitors can also use the Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS highway) to reach Klang South. Alternatively, Klang is also accessible via coastal roads from Banting and Sepang (south) or Kuala Selangor and Sabak Bernam (north). By train, Klang's railway station is located at Jalan Stesen in the part of town south of the Klang River. KTM Komuter, Klang Valley's commuter train network, connects Klang directly with Kuala Lumpur (50 minutes) and Port Klang (20 minutes). By bus, the former Klang bus and taxi terminal is located right in the heart of the town opposite the Mydin Shopping Complex, but it has since been moved to Klang Sentral, which is about 8 kilometers away from the town centre. Buses to and from Kuala Lumpur, Port Klang, Kuala Selangor, Banting and other destinations have been operating out of Klang Sentral since 27 December 2008. As Klang Sentral is located far away from the town centre, the Klang Municipal Council (MPK) has established five bus pick-up points around the town for the convenience of the passengers. By boat however, Klang is not located by the sea but there are boats between Indonesia (Dumai and Tanjung Balai Asahan) and Port Klang which is located 8km away. Star Cruises terminal is located at Pulau Indah in Port Klang.

CATEGORIES MoviesFilm: Last Call at the Oasis (2011) Cast includes: Erin Brokovich-Ellis, Jay Famiglietti, Peter H. Gleich, Tyrone Hayes Writer/Director: Jessica Yu (Ping Pong Playa) Genre: Documentary (105 minutes)
"My father said, someday water will become more valuable than oil," Erin Brokovich tells us, and it's happening now. "By 2025, half of the world's population will not have adequate water."
NASA has been evaluating global water depletion for decades, and it's clearly a crisis. Yet in America, the water is flowing. Consider Las Vegas, a desert city with man-made rivers, gardens, fountains, etc. The government turned on the tap in the 1930s when they built the Hoover Dam, enabling Las Vegas to flower using water from Lake Mead. But there's a magic number, and it's 1,050. Lake Mead has 36 feet to go before it reaches 1,050. And at this rate, it'll happen in four years. That's when water will no longer flow through the dam. The proposed pipeline to Baker, Nev., looked like a solution until the folks in Baker started asking, what happens when Baker is drained dry? The community meetings get really heated,pitting environmental issues against financial concerns.
Water shortages are hard for us to wrap our heads around. After all, the planet is mostly water. Every drop of water that was on earth in the beginning is still here today. Water is a constantly renewable resource. The problem is that only 1 percent of the world's water is drinkable. And it's not just a matter of using it faster than it can be renewed. There's also the problem of pollution. Our water treatment facilities were never designed to handle all the chemicals that are now going into the water. Plus, industrial chemicals often go into the water supply directly. In the late 1960, Ohio's Cuyahoga River actually caught fire repeatedly from industrial pollutants, leading to the formation of the EPA. But today, the EPA is so underfunded that only five of 80,000 industrial chemicals in our water have been regulated. The evidence of the crisis is everywhere. It's an OMG moment, but "we humans have an infinite capacity to deny reality."
The film is excellent in showing us the issues, but it's painful to watch. Einstein once said, "Those who have the privilege to know have the duty to act." The film isn't just about bad news. It also talks about solutions -- assuming we start acting before it's too late. Desalinization, by the way, isn't the answer. It's time to get serious about recycling water, for example. Singapore turns waste water into drinking water, a concept Americans find repugnant -- for now. Serious conservation definitely has to be part of the solution. But that regularly causes heated conflicts of economics vs. environment. People have to work together, and in some parts of the world they are, even though the solutions can cause great hardships. The film shows us cattle ranches in Australia where they're losing everything because the government's had to redirect the water for human usage. It'll take more than this film to convince most of us to be part of the solution. But a good dose of reality is easier to swallow in a movie, than when the spigot runs dry.
4 popped kernels (Scale: 0-4) A serious and disturbing look at what's in store if we don't get serious about water. It's not a feel-good movie.

Neighbors to the north | There's more than tundra up there
Toronto | Toronto councillors, as of late October, have approved public financing for a 20,000-seat soccer-specific stadium to host a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in 2007. The stadium would also be available to help stage—along with venues in Montreal, Edmonton, Ottawa, Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia—the 2007 FIFA World Youth Championship, which already has been awarded to Canada. The city would contribute about $10 million to construction of the $63 million facility, with the federal and Ontario governments along with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, owners of the Maple Leafs (National Hockey League) and Toronto Raptors (National Basketball Association), making up the difference. Debate has been spirited, with some objecting to the public subsidy.
"This is so wrong. This is so bad," said Councillor Mike Del Grande during the 4½-hour debate. "It's a backroom deal" (Vanessa Lu and John Spears, "City Spends $9.8M for Soccer Stadium," Toronto Star, 28 October).
Others wonder whether MLS can lure interest, now that European football is readily available. "For most Toronto fans, the focus is on the very best soccer in the world—European soccer," says Bruno Hartrell, co-owner of the United Soccer League's Toronto Lynx. "The North American product is so far down the ladder to those fans, you're very hard-pressed to attract them" (Cathal Kelly, "Soccer Gamble: Can MLSE Make It Work?" Toronto Star, 29 October).
At play, too, are questions of soccer's place in the sporting culture of an extraordinarily vast (3.9 million square miles) and diverse land mass, as well as the desires to preserve Canada's distinctiveness in relationship to the United States. No one questions that soccer could replace ice hockey in the hearts of Canada's sports watchers. Georgie Binks, a Toronto writer, compares the yearlong National Hockey League lockout to "losing a lover." Six of the NHL's 30 teams are based in Canada; Hockey Night in Canada, telecast on Saturdays by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., is a national institution, dating to its origins in radio in 1933. "We felt shunned and very hurt," says Binks. "I was encouraged most people didn't go completely insane. I couldn't envision at first what it might be like. For many of us, it wasn't reality" (Ed Graney, "Finally! Game On, Eh?" San Diego Union-Tribune, 4 October).

PC Steering Wheels
Logitech G27 Racing Wheel
Logitech's newest racing wheel for the PC and PS3 is the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel. This top of the line force feedback racing wheel is probably Logitech's best but is it worth the upgrade from the Logitech G25 that it replaces in the lineup?
Logitech G25 Racing Wheel
Logitech has a winner with this high-end force-feedback wheel. The Logitech G25 Racing Wheel is the finest force=feedback steering wheel available. The G25 features stainless steel, aluminum and leather components which highlight the overall quality of this wheel. The G25 feels solid and races very smooth. The Logitech G25 Racing Wheel is simply the best force-feedback steering wheel available.
Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Steering Wheel
The Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Steering Wheel has a lot of programmable buttons and good FF effects. But there are better options out there for the money.
Hyper Stimulator PC Racing Controls and Cockpit
The HyperStimulator is a full racing cockpit including top-quality PC steering wheel and pedals.
Thrustmaster NASCAR Pro Force
The NASCAR Pro Force Feedback is Thrustmaster's best NASCAR racing offering.
Logitech Momo Force (Red)
Logitech has made an effort to produce the best steering wheel at a reasonable price. Does their Momo Force fill the bill? Here is a complete review.
Logitech Wingman Formula GP Review
Logitech Wingman Formula GP's flashy look, comfortable ergonomics and great feel make them a great choice in the economy category.
Act Labs Force RS
The ActLabs Force RS is the Force Feedback sibling to the Act Labs RS. This sim racing wheel offers a comfortable fit and great flexibility as it can be used on the PC, Playstation or Nintendo.
ECCI TrackStar 6000
ECCI claims that their Trackstar 6000 is clearly the best PC steering wheel and pedal set on the market. Is it? I had the pleasure of using one for a couple of weeks and here is what I discovered.
Top Five Force Feedback Steering Wheels
Force Feedback support has come a long way in racing sims and now some sim racers believe that Force Feedback wheels are the only way to go. Here are the best Force Feedback wheels available on the market today.
Logitech Momo Racing
Take everything good about the Logitech Momo Force and add better pedals, a stick shifter and a lower price and you've got the finest Force Feedback wheel available on the market today.
Logitech Momo Force
Compared to the mostly-plastic wheels that preceded it, the hand stitched leather wheel and metal components just scream quality. It's a little more expensive, but well worth it.
Thrustmaster NASCAR Pro Force Steering Wheel
I wasn't sure what I expected when I opened up Thrustmaster's latest wheel but it definitely wasn't this! The NASCAR Pro Force Feedback Wheel is a winner from top to bottom.
Steering Wheel Roundup
Everything you need to know about the latest Steering Wheel products for your PC.
Logitech Wingman Formula Force
A great looking and great performing wheel, Logitech has a loyal following of sim-racing fans who believe that this is the best product on the market.
Act Labs Force RS
The Force Feedback sibling to our the RS offers a comfortable fit and unmatched flexibility but a disconcerting feel.

ACT-LABS Performance Pedals
The performance pedals from Act-Labs feature an extra-long throw and an analog clutch pedal for maximum realism for your PC racing.

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
The U.S. immigrant population—estimated at 40.8 million in 2012 — is the nation's historical numerical high, and it is also the largest foreign-born population in the world. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, even as the country accounts for less than 5 percent of global population. This article presents the latest, most sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—by origin, residence, legal status, deportations, languages spoken, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
In the United States, the academic success of children of Chinese and Korean immigrants usually is attributed to either their culture or the U.S. immigration system, which favors skilled migrants. Min Zhou and Susan S. Kim of the University of California, Los Angeles compare the after-school institutions in these communities to explain the effect of ethnicity on educational outcomes.
Relatively little is known about migration that involves more than one destination. Ayumi Takenaka of Bryn Mawr College examines the available data to assess who re-migrates to the United States.
MPI's Dawn Konet and Julia Gelatt report on the Strive Act and a White House plan for immigration reform, the delay in implementing Real ID requirements, the Child Citizen Protection Act, and more.
In 2005, U.S. immigration officials detained nearly a quarter of a million individuals. MPI's Dawn Konet and Jeanne Batalova look at the most recent data on apprehensions, detentions, and removals.

Petition for WWE to re-hire wrestlers.
This petition is for World Wrestling Entertainment to re-hire wrestlers Mike Sanders, EZ Money, and Steve Bradley. These three wrestlers were probably the best wrestlers WWE had on their developmental plan, and it was complete idiocy releasing them while WWE keeps developmental wrestlers such as Horace Hogan, and also keeps other wrestlers such as Mark Henry, Spike Dudley, and Funaki on their main roster. If you\'re a fan or any of these three wrestlers, or wrestling in general, please sign this petition!

Research Overview
We work with the tools of biology, chemistry, and genetics to understand basic mechanisms of cellular signaling and develop therapeutic strategies for heart disease, cancer, and inflammatory diseases.
G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) form a large family of cell surface receptors responsible for triggering cellular responses to a large number of extracellular stimuli including hormones such as adrenaline, serotonin, or acetylcholine and receive sensory stimuli responsible for perception of light, smell, and taste. This family of receptors is an important target for pharmaceuticals and defects in GPCR systems and are responsible for a number of diseases. All GPCRs function through activation of trimeric G proteins located on the inner surface of the plasma membrane. When GPCRs interact with an activating ligand they bind to the G protein and catalyze their activation. The activated G proteins then target ion channels or enzymes that produce second messengers to regulate cell physiology and growth.
We use chemical, structural and genetic methods to understand and manipulate G protein pathways. Because of the underlying involvement of G protein signaling in many aspects of cellular physiology, targeting these pathways has many implications for therapy.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore is in party-planning mode a day after the Ravens' Super Bowl victory.
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake says the city's parade for the team will begin at City Hall on Tuesday morning and end with a free celebration at M&T Bank Stadium.
The lineup was still being finalized as the team arrived back in Maryland Monday afternoon.
The parade will begin at 10:45 a.m. at City Hall, where there will be a new purple, black and white congratulatory banner hanging. The parade will head south on Commerce Street and continue to Pratt and Howard streets.
The stadium celebration begins at 12:30 p.m. The National Weather Service was forecasting temperatures in the low to mid 30s with a 20 percent chance of light rain or snow.

Welcome to Earth! It's a planet having an iron core, with two-thirds of its surface covered by water.
Earth orbits a local star called the Sun, the light of which generates the food supply for all the millions of species of life on earth.
The dominant species on Earth is the human being, and you're one of the six billion of them! Humans have iron in their blood, and their bodies are composed of two-thirds water, just like the planet they live on.
The physical composition of the Earth, its people and everything on it contains an electro-magnetic field which is not yet fully understood.
Theories and legends about the origin of Earth, people and life itself abound, however they are not commonly discussed. The bulk of earth's people spend their time immersed in daily activities, leaving the big questions for later.
"Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How will we get there?"
Many religions and philosophies have attempted to answer these questions over the years, but so far none has given an answer that everyone on the planet can accept.
In contrast to all the disagreement, the similarities among people on earth are far, far greater than any differences.
Welcome again to Earth! Enjoy your stay, and try to stay calm.

CHOKING HAZARD -- Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Product Details
Would you like to give feedback on images?.
The almanac portion of the booklet is laid out alphabetically, so while playing you can find answers to specific questions quickly. Useful entries remind you exactly what role pieces like the robber play, how actions like maritime trade work, and how to set up the board or finish the game.
Exploring and Developing Catan
The board consists of 19 terrain hexes surrounded by the ocean. Each type of terrain produces a different type of resource: brick, wool, ore, grain or lumber. There's also a desert hex that produces no resources. As the game progresses, players use resources to build roads along the edges of these hexes and settlements or cities on the intersections where three hexes meet. Each player begins the game with two settlements and two roads.
Each player's roll of the dice causes certain hexes to produce resources, which you collect if you have a settlement on one of them. On your turn, you'll use various combinations of the resources you've acquired to build new roads and settlements, upgrade settlements to cities, or purchase development cards. The ability to trade resources with other players adds a new level of strategy and ensures that the game includes lots of interaction between players. You can also trade without worrying about other players using an unfavorable maritime trade rate. Elements including a robber piece that lets you steal from other players and a variety of development cards add intrigue to the game.
The objective of The Settlers of Catan is to be the first one who collects 10 victory points. Each settlement is worth one victory point and each city is worth two victory points. You can also earn victory points by holding the "Longest Road" card, the "Largest Army" card, or special victory point development cards.
Best-Selling Game of the Year
It's easy to see why The Settlers of Catan has been recognized as a best-selling Game of the Year in both Germany and the U. S. We found this game to be fun and engaging for both children and adults, and the variable nature of the playing field really made us want to play again and again. When we started pausing to contemplate our opponents' strategy and factoring the probability of different dice rolls into our moves, the game sometimes took longer than expected, but we were so engrossed we didn't even notice until it was all over.
Due to the widespread popularity of the original game, several expansion sets (sold separately) are available that allow you to explore new aspects of the game or add more players. The only downside to this game is that you need to have either three or four players to play, so it's great that expansion sets are available that will allow you to add players.
What's in the Box
Six sea frame pieces, 19 terrain hexes, nine harbor pieces, 18 circular number tokens, 126 game cards, 16 cities, 20 settlements, 60 roads, two dice, a robber and a rules and almanac booklet.
I highly recommend it to anyone that likes to play games with friends or family.
I was introduced to this game a few years ago at a family gathering and now every time we get together this is the game everyone wants to play.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had a rough start to the 2012 season when he threw three interceptions, which ultimately contributed to the team's disappointing 48-28 loss to the New York Jets.
In an interview with WGR Buffalo on Monday, Fitzpatrick stated that making smart decisions with the football was something he focused on at great lengths this offseason. While he received undesirable results on Sunday, the 29-year-old Harvard University product explained that he is a level-headed individual who likes to learn from his mistakes.
In fact, he views the loss as a wake up call for the team.
Via SportsRadioInterviews.com:
"For me, and I know the guys in the locker room, we are still excited about the year. We are still confident. We just got a lot of work to do. The game of football especially in the NFL is a very humbling game and when you think you have it it tends to humble you. This was a wake up call for us."
Buffalo will get back to action on Sunday when they host the Kansas City Chiefs (0-1).

GFSI Board Decision - Extension of Scope or Re-Benchmarking
The objective of the GFSI Board review is to decide upon the recognition or non-recognition of applicant schemes, based on the recommendations of the Benchmark Committee.
The final report and recommendation for recognition or non-recognition of the scheme shall be presented to the GFSI Board by the GFSI Executive Director.
The GFSI Board shall make the decision concerning the recognition or non-recognition of a scheme at a meeting convened for that purpose, or at a GFSI Board meeting. The GFSI Benchmark Committee Leader shall be available at this meeting, at the request of the GFSI Board.
The meeting, in this case, may take the form of a conference call and if voting is required to make a decision during the conference call, this shall be carried out via e-mail, immediately after the closure of the meeting.
The GFSI Board shall consider the recommendation made by the Benchmark Committee and raise any issues that they may have. It is expected that the GFSI Board shall make a decision at the meeting. However, if further information is required, the GFSI Benchmark Committee Leader shall be instructed to ensure that clarifications are provided.
The decision of the GFSI Board to recognise or not recognise a scheme shall be based on consensus. If consensus cannot be reached, then a vote may be held to determine the decision for recognition or non-recognition of the applicant scheme. In the event that a vote is required to reach a decision, a two thirds majority of a quorum of the GFSI Board shall be required in support of recognition. The vote shall be carried out in accordance with the GFSI Foundation Articles of Association.
The GFSI Board decision shall be communicated in writing to the scheme owner by the GFSI Executive Director, as soon as practicable after the GFSI Board decision.
In the event of recognition by the GFSI Board, the GFSI Executive Director shall prepare press notices confirming this decision with the co-operation of the scheme owner. The scheme owner shall also be expected to issue a comparable press release and the time of issue of these press releases shall be agreed by the GFSI Executive Director and the scheme owner.
The GFSI Executive Director shall publish confirmation of the recognition of the scheme on the GFSI website. The GFSI website will include a current schedule of all recognised schemes, clearly defining their scope of recognition and expected date for re-benchmarking.
In the event that the decision of the GFSI Board is non-recognition, the reasons for the Board decision shall be clearly documented and the GFSI Executive Director shall make the scheme owner aware of the reasons for the decision. The scheme owner shall have the right of appeal against the GFSI Board decision.
Upon the decision of the GFSI Board, the Benchmark Committee for the applicant scheme shall be disbanded.

See the Glossary for more terms.
This is the seventh article in our New Investigator Series.
In previous articles, we looked at what it takes to be ready for an independent grant, how to choose a grant type and topic, resources needed to conduct the research, and timing considerations. Here we discuss writing to the audience.
Study sections usually have about 20 peer reviewers, but all do not play equally critical roles for your application.
All writers shape their material to the understanding and tastes of their audience.
Shakespeare, for example, was not only a poetic genius but also a celebrated playwright in his day, whose popularity stemmed from writing plays that appealed to people from all walks of life.
As a writer of an NIH grant application, your audience is much smaller. In fact, the most important people to reach may total only three.
Focusing the spotlight on such a tiny group is a much easier job. The catch is to know who the players are and what they're looking for.
Secondarily, you'll need to capture the interest of your audience that's not on stage but still vital to your success.
Study sections usually have about 20 peer reviewers, but all do not play equally critical roles: three serve as "actors" who perform on behalf of you, the writer.
They are your primary and secondary reviewers (plus at least one additional discussant), chosen by the group's scientific review officer (SRO)—a federal scientist—because their expertise is closest to your field.
These assigned reviewers do the following:
These initial remarks launch the group discussion that is the basis for the overall impact score your reviewers give your application. Everyone scores your application—even those who may not be well versed in your field or research.
More than anything else, that score determines your application's funding fate, which takes us back to the reason you need to write your application keeping your reviewers in mind.
In case you're wondering why review meetings work this way: it's just not feasible for everyone to read all applications.
Review meetings cover dozens, sometimes hundreds, of applications, meaning reviewers have thousands of pages to read. Serving as a volunteer reviewer for NIH does not replace a reviewer's day job, and many must peruse applications after work hours.
Because reviewers can't possibly read all the applications in depth in the limited time they have before the meeting, they rely on the expertise of the assigned reviewers to focus the discussion.
In the next section, we'll show you how to appeal to everyone and make advocates out of your assigned reviewers.
Write and organize the application so the primary reviewer can readily grasp what you are proposing and be well poised to explain it to the others.
Write for Everyone, but Win Over Your Assigned Reviewers
In the various parts of the application, you'll use different approaches to reach out to your audience so you can accommodate different levels of knowledge about your techniques and field.
Your best strategy is 1) to write and organize the entire application so your assigned reviewers can readily grasp what you propose and be well poised to explain it to everyone else and 2) to not neglect the rest.
Though most reviewers may read only parts of your application, all twenty will score it.
Moreover, it can't hurt to grab their attention and get them onstage too! Any reviewer is more likely to read your application if it is an intriguing area, has a well-thought-out title, and shows well-crafted Specific Aims.
Play to the house. Try to get as many people excited about your project as you can. Let them know why the Institute should fund you and why they should give you the best score by telling them how your topic is high impact and your objectives worth pursuing.
Fire up your reviewers by convincing them that:
Be aware that a grant application is not a scientific review article. Think of it as a production that must arouse its viewers to value your proposal as highly significant and worthy of our investment. Besides stimulating enthusiasm and being persuasive, focus the action by leaving out any facts that do not make your case.
Expect your assigned reviewers to read your Research Strategy and other important parts of the application.
Write for your assigned reviewers. Help your assigned reviewers become your advocate by building a strong case for your research and making it easy for them to perform.
Organize and write so your assigned reviewers can readily find and understand the goals, significance, and feasibility of your project. Make it easy by including lines they can deliver to explain your research to the rest of the study section.
Don't take that step to mean that your assigned reviewers will gloss over your application. On the contrary, expect them to read your Research Strategy and other important parts. When you write, keep in mind that they will:
Don't neglect the others. During the roughly 15-minute discussion, members of the group will ask the assigned reviewers questions and skim parts of the application—most likely, the Abstract, Specific Aims, and Significance section of your Research Strategy.
After you have chosen a study section, determine how its membership may affect your writing.
While you are still choosing your project, look into which study sections your application may fit.
View the rosters online, and find a committee with some people who will appreciate your research and share your scientific perspective. Be aware that this process is not perfect: the Center for Scientific Review may reconfigure study sections, use ad hoc reviewers, or (more rarely) not honor your request.
But even though there's no guarantee that the same people will review your application, it's still beneficial to see who may be on the committee, so you can learn the possible perspectives they and their peers have on your area of science.
Read their publications that are important to your field so you can write your application with those perspectives in mind, acknowledging that there are other points of view.
Then forge ahead, following these guidelines:
Keep looking until you find the right audience for your application. To search for a study section, go to the main page of the Center for Scientific Review or the CSR Study Section Roster Index.
If you have a multidisciplinary application and don't see all the expertise on the roster, don't assume CSR will add it, so write for a less expert audience.
After you have picked a study section, determine how its membership will affect your writing.
In your application cover letter, you will request the study section you've selected. Note that you may not request reviewers—if you do they will be disqualified!
Frame your request in positive terms: say that a study section has several people who are qualified to judge your work. Read more at Create a Cover Letter in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
All this research into study sections and members takes time but is well worth it—you have a major stake in the people you choose to review your application.
DMID-funded contractors provide a variety of services to improve your chances of success.
When you're standing at the entrance to the product development pathway, think about how we can make your journey a little less risky.
Contractors funded by our Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID) offer a variety of services to improve your chances of success.
You can apply for support even if you don't have an NIAID grant, but your work has to fall within DMID's research areas, and you need preliminary data that justifies advancing your product to your requested stage of development.
If you're an investigator in academia, government, industry, or a not-for-profit organization, DMID's newly redesigned Resources for Researchers portal gives you a broad range of help.
In the portal, drill down to each service's Web site for information on eligibility, assurances, prerequisites, user requirements, and the application and approval process. You can find resources by following links under these headers:
You can also view resources by product type, product development stage, or organism type or see a full alphabetical list.
Consider discussing with your program officer how these services might be useful to your project. Stay tuned for more news—we plan to highlight significant resources in future articles.

Use the annotated forms as a reference while you work on your grant application.
You'll probably like the field-by-field tips in NIH's new annotated SF 424 application forms. The annotations explain form behavior, help you decide what to enter, and highlight fields required by NIH but not marked as such in the SF 424.
NIH has posted these forms in PDF or plain text format. We suggest that you use the PDF version since it visually matches the layout of the SF 424 forms.
To use the annotated file as a reference while you work on your application, you can print it out or keep it open in another window.
Though these annotations may help you, they don't replace the full instructions in the opportunity's Guide notice and in the SF424 Application Guide. Go to the new Annotated SF 424 Grant Application Forms.

In FY 2009, success rates for single and multiple PI applications were closer, altering the historical trend.
Though initial outcomes for multiple PI applications have been inauspicious, new data show an upturn in success.
NIH began allowing more than one PI on a grant application in 2006 to encourage team science. Since then, we have been looking at the success of multiple PI applications compared to the traditional single PI model.
Initially, multiple-PI applications fared much worse in peer review than did those with only one PI. Even as late as FY 2008, only a bit more than half as many multiple PI applications got a grant compared with single PI applications. That gap narrowed to roughly three-quarters in FY 2009, as you can see in the table below.
*Exclude American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) awards.
We don't know the reason for the improvement, but we do know where in reviewers' eyes multiple PI applications often fall short.
Learn more about the caveats to the multiple PI approach, especially for new investigators in the pages listed below.
Following an injunction on federal support of research involving human embryonic stem cells, NIH will not allow funding of new human embryonic stem cell research and has stopped action on applications in review. Active awards will receive funding through the end of their budget period only.

Coming to the end of an R56-Bridge award? To clear up some confusion we're seeing lately, here's a do and a don't for your next move.
Bridge awards are for R01s that missed the payline. You cannot apply, and whether we select you depends on available monies and the strategic and programmatic priorities of the Institute. For more information, talk to your program officer.
Feel free to send us a question at firstname.lastname@example.com. After responding to you, we may include your question in the newsletter, incorporate it into the NIAID Research Funding site, or both.
"What is required by NIH for IRB certification in the just-in-time request?"—an anonymous reader
NIH requires certification of institutional review board (IRB) approval of the parts of the application involving human subjects in the just-in-time request. You may include the certification of IRB approval in your application if it's ready.
Since PIs have done their part leading up to the no-cost extension and won't receive additional salary from us, they do not need to meet the minimum effort requirement for a Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23).
(The minimum effort requirement is 9 person months at 75 percent or 6 person months at 50 percent, if previously approved, of professional time.)
We could do that for you, but your postdocs may want to add and control their own subscriptions at the NIAID Funding Newsletter and Email Alerts Subscription Center.

Franciscan Values and Life at Siena: The DORS Initiative
Our Franciscan values of Diversity, Optimism, Respect and Service (DORS) can be articulated, and are embodied, by every member of the Siena community. DORS guides our decisions and behaviors as we put faith into action for the betterment of the world around us.
DORS, a Franciscan values initiative of the Division of Student Affairs, integrates the values and teachings of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi into the everyday lives of Siena College students. Franciscan values serve as a lens through which to view our world and our way of being in relationship with each other. Through discussion, modeling, and application of DORS, our community is enriched and made vibrant. DORS ensures that our students identify with and take on a sense of responsibility for the College and each other.
The essence of Franciscan living is a way of relating to people that is grounded in faith and values. Diversity, Optimism, Respect and Service provide a framework for the Siena College community to discuss and learn about the Franciscan tradition and its approach to fostering positive interpersonal relationships.
In our Franciscan community, diversity is an invitation to celebrate the God-given uniqueness of each individual, as well as the cultural differences that enrich us all. So,
Be unique
Be unique
Be welcoming
Be open to the world
In our Franciscan community, optimism is a faith-filled affirmation of the basic goodness of life and of all men and women because, in the words of St. Francis, God our Creator is "good, all good, supremely good." So,
Be positive
Be hopeful
Be open to the future
In our Franciscan community, respect is a profound reverence for God's real presence in ourselves, in others, and in our world. So,
Be respectful of yourself
Be affirming of the dignity of others
Be caring of the environment around you
In our Franciscan community, service is paying the debt we owe to God for the gifts we have been given, by working and advocating for the well-being of all, especially the poor and marginalized. So,
Be grateful
Be generous with your time and talents
Be compassionate
