GAME PREVIEW: FGCU Hosts ACC Foe Miami On Saturday
FGCU will look to bounce back from a rough loss at Arkansas in its last outing when it hosts ACC foe Miami at Alico Arena on Saturday night. It's been a busy opening two weeks for both teams, as they've combined to play 11 games, including five away from their home arenas. The Eagles will be looking for their second straight home win to open the season after defeating Southeast Missouri State, 89-78, on Nov. 16, while Miami is still searching for its first road win after falling at Memphis and Rutgers.
Saturday night's game marks the second straight year FGCU has hosted a school from a BCS Conference. Last year, the Eagles stunned BIG EAST member DePaul, 64-61, on Dec. 22 at Alico Arena for the program's first win over a school from one of the power six conferences (ACC, BIG EAST, Big Ten, Big XII, Pac-10, SEC).
Miami won the only meeting between the two teams last year on Nov. 25 at the Bank United Center by a 77-59 score. Then-freshman ANTHONY BANKS led the Eagles with 15 points, while the Hurricanes were led by Malcolm Grant who had 14 points, five rebound and four assists. The win was part of Miami's 15-1 start.
With nine returners back from last year's 20-win team, head coach Frank Haith and his Miami club is off to a 3-2 start. The Hurricanes are a perfect 3-0 at home, but 0-2 on the road, including a four-point heartbreaker at No. 19 Memphis. The experienced backcourt of junior Malcolm Grant and sophomore Durand Scott rank first and third on the team in scoring at 12.4 points and 12.0 points, respectively. Grant leads the team with 11 three-pointers, while Scott has got to the free throw line 23 times. Miami's strong backcourt play is backed up by its depth in the low post, beginning with 6-foot-10, 303-lb. sophomore Reggie Johnson. After averaging just over six points and four rebounds as a freshman, Johnson is having a breakout sophomore campaign and is one of three players in the ACC averaging a double-double at 12.2 points and 10.6 boards. The Hurricanes' trio of starting forwards all go 6-foot-7 or better, helping Miami boast a +10.8 rebounding margin through five games.
FGCU is 1-11 all-time against BCS foes after picking up a win over BIG EAST opponent DePaul last season at Alico Arena. DePaul was the first BCS men's basketball program to come to Fort Myers, while all other 11 contests have been played on the road. Miami is the third of four BCS foes FGCU will square off against this season. The Eagles will travel to Ohio State on Dec. 15.

Overall: Same
ACC: 37-59 (7th Season)
Vs. FGCU: 1-0
FGCU welcomes back eight players from last year's club including its top two leading scorers in redshirt sophomore forward ANTHONY BANKS (12.9 ppg) and senior REED BAKER (11.4 ppg). A combination of Banks or Baker led the Eagles in scoring 23 of 29 contests in 2009-10, while both reached double figures in the same game 12 times. Both have finished in double figures in three of the first four games and rank as the third-best scoring tandem in the A-Sun.
Senior REED BAKER and junior TIM SNYDER poured in 23 and 21 points, respectively, at Grambling to mark the fourth time a pair of players have gone for at least 20 points in the same game since FGCU joined Division I. Baker was a part of the feat in each of the last two years, while the 20-point outing was his second of the season. The Naples, Fla. product has 11 career 20-point games and done so it back-to-back games three times, including a four-game streak in 2008-09.
Along with his scoring prowess, senior REED BAKER has upped his game on the defensive end with 11 steals over the first four games. Baker registered three steals at Indiana and against SEMO before nabbing a season-best of four at Arkansas to rank second in the A-Sun. For his career, Baker has 16 multi-steal games, highlighted by seven against ETSU on Jan. 12, 2009 - the second most in single-game history.
FGCU opened its home schedule in style on November 16, scoring a program Division I record 89 points during a win over Southeast Missouri. Senior REED BAKER led the scoring frenzy with a career-high 28 points to fuel a 53-point second half. Junior MARLON RIVERA just missed recording a triple-double with 16 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists.
Led by senior REED BAKER'S team-leading 19.3 points per game that rank second in the Atlantic Sun, FGCU sports three players in double figures. Redshirt sophomore ANTHONY BANKS has battled through foul trouble in two games to average 12.5 while frontcourt mate TIM SNYDER averages 10.5 points, including 14.5 over his last two outings thanks to 21-point outing at Grambling. Dating back to last season, either Baker or Banks has led the team in scoring nine consecutive games.
Over the first four games, FGCU has made 135 trips (33.8 per game) to the charity stripe, 56 more attempts than its opponents. The Eagles have knocked down just 84-of-135 free throws, but it has led to a +9.5 scoring margin per game. After earning just 88 trips to the free throw line in 2009-10, senior REED BAKER is a healthy 27-of-33 this season, ranking second in the A-Sun in attempts behind Kennesaw's Markeith Cummings (38) who has played six games.
Playing in just his second game at the Division I level, junior MARLON RIVERA fell just one assist shy of become the first player in FGCU history to register a triple-double against Southeast Missouri. Rivera's dominating performance on both ends of the court featured 16 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists over 33 minutes.
Not equipped with a lot of size in the paint, FGCU makes up for it by staying active on the offensive glass. Led by preseason All-Conference choice ANTHONY BANKS, the Eagles ranked third in the Atlantic Sun in 2009-10 in offensive rebounds per game (13.6). The Eagles are back at it again this season, grabbing 56 offensive caroms over the first four games to tie for second (14.0) in the league lead. FGCU has grabbed double figure offensive boards in 31 of its last 34 games, including all four this season, dating back to the final contest of the 2008-09 season. Banks and junior TIM SNYDER both rank in the top six in offensive rebounds with a combined 21.
After finishing second in the A-Sun in field goal percentage as a freshman in 2009-10, ANTHONY BANKS is out to take over the crown in his second campaign. Through four games, Banks sports a 54 percent (19-35) clip from the field, good for seventh in the conference. A career 56 percent (172-305) shooter, Banks has made 50 percent or better from the field in 24 of 33 career games.
A key component is FGCU's win over Grambling was its ability to draw charges. For the game, the Eagles took six charges, led by three from both redshirt sophomore ANTHONY BANKS and junior TIM SNYDER.
Redshirt sophomore ANTHONY BANKS leads the charge on the offensive glass after grabbing 100 offensive caroms in 2009-10. In just 33 career games, Banks has snared five or more offensive boards in a game 11 times, including five at Indiana. The Lantana, Fla. product has grabbed an offensive rebound in 30 of 33 games and had his streak of 29 straight contests snapped against Southeast Missouri State. Banks totaled nine offensive boards against Jacksonville (Jan. 9, 2010), starting a three-game stretch in which he grabbed 21.
Senior REED BAKER has not only scored in double figures in all four games this season, he's reached the double-digit plateau in four halves. Baker enters Saturday's showdown against Miami with double figure points in four of the last six halves after scoring a career-high 28 points against SEMO and 23 more at Grambling. Baker is averaging a healthy 11.8 points over the final 20 minutes.

Response to USPSTF Research Plan for BRCA Testing
Learn More
Read the USPSTF's draft research plan on Genetic Risk Assessment and BRCA Mutation Testing for Breast and Ovarian Cancer Susceptibility
Read our full response to the USPSTF's draft.
The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is an independent volunteer panel of experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine which conducts scientific reviews of a broad range of clinical preventive services (including screening, counseling, and the use of preventive medications) and develops recommendations on the effectiveness of these services.
Recently, the USPSTF reached out to FORCE and other consumer groups, health care providers, researchers, and individuals for input into their approach to reviewing the current research literature and updating their recommendations on risk assessment and risk management in high-risk individuals.
The full USPSTF's draft research plan can be viewed here.
FORCE's recommendations
The following is a summary of our recommendations to the USPSTF. You can read our full comments with justification for each suggestion here.
- We recommend extending this evaluation to include cancer survivors who have a diagnosis of a BRCAassociated cancer.
- We recommend including BRCA-associated cancer outcomes beyond breast and ovarian cancer to other cancers known to be associated with the syndrome.
- We recommend extending this evaluation to include men.
- We recommend a more specific definition of what constitutes "risk assessment" and "pretesting genetic counseling."
- We recommend changing the analytic framework to include that people of certain ethnic backgrounds and particularly people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent are at increased risk for a mutation. We suggest this information be added as an important criterion to be identified prior to formal risk assessment.
- For the purposes of evaluating Key Question 2c), we recommend extending this evaluation to any person who meets genetic evaluation and testing guidelines, not just women with a family history of cancer.
- We suggest adding post-testing genetic counseling as an important and evaluable step separate from (and after) genetic testing in the framework.
- We suggest evaluating separately outcomes of BRCA positive, "true negative" (positive mutation in family
and member tests negative), "uninformative negative" (no identified mutation in the family) and variant of uncertain significance. Each test result has a different implication and recommended follow-up process that is distinct from the other result categories but important in evaluating the benefits/risk ratio of testing.
- We recommend that when the task force evaluates outcomes of intervention strategies, consideration is given to the fact that clinical trials or other studies of most of the primary risk reduction strategies (prophylactic surgery, for example) cannot be undertaken using randomized trials. When rating the strength of the evidence it is important to consider the limitations of research trial design for these interventions.
- We recommend explicitly including long term sequelae of prophylactic surgery (e.g., the long term consequences of surgical menopause including bone density loss and heart disease risk) in Key Question 5).
- We recommend including oral contraceptives in the evaluation of prevention interventions for ovarian cancer.

I have approached today's blog post rather nervously because it's by way of an experiment. In writing it, I have set myself a difficult task and only you can tell me how far I have succeeded.
My aim is to explain the concept of a 'series' of archival records in a way that is clear and useful, without either oversimplifying it or becoming too complicated and technical. 1 This is something that I have tried to do before, both as part of pre-prepared talks and 'on the fly' when answering questions in our reading rooms. Some of my attempts have been more successful than others and I think it's time to seek some feedback on how I could improve my explanations. Constructive criticism is welcome! 2
Before I started writing, I looked at what some 'classic' authors, 3 a couple of 21st-century textbooks, 4 and some archive-related blogs 5 had to say about the subject, but these really only scratch the surface of what has been written before. 6
- 1. Many present and past ideas about archives and how they should be managed are neither simple nor straightforward. Terminology can be confusing or even frustratingly imprecise. For instance, the word 'archive' itself is open to multiple interpretations and misunderstandings. Some of my footnotes hint at points that are more complicated than I've been able to discuss in a single blog post. ^
- 2. I have not been very concise here, for one thing. ^
- 3. S Muller, J A Feith and R Fruin, Manual for the Arrangement and Description of Archives, reissue of the 1940 translation by Arthur H Leavitt (Chicago, 2003); Hilary Jenkinson, A Manual of Archive Administration, revised edition (London, 1937); T R Schellenberg, The Management of Archives (New York, 1965). ^
- 4. Caroline Williams, Managing Archives: Foundations, Principles and Practice (Oxford, 2006); Jackie Bettington et al (eds), Keeping Archives, 3rd edition (Canberra, 2008). ^
- 5. Including this post from the British Postal Museum and Archive and this post from Library and Archives Canada ^
- 6. It's only fair to mention that academic writers who have thought deeply about the issues involved have often challenged some of the ideas and principles underlying traditional archival practice. ^

Central Virginia is bracing for a cold snap. Experts say while there are many things you may be doing to prepare for winter weather, one of the biggest things you can do is protect your home.
Ready or not, winter weather is here and there are simple things you can do now so you won't have to pay later.
"One cold day, you usually don't have a lot of problems but what we're going to be having [are] four or five days of really cold water and it really accumulates," said Scott Burgess with Burgess Inspections.
The professional home inspector says he sees it far too often - homes that aren't prepared for the reality of winter weather.
"Just go around your windows and see if you feel any drafts coming in around the window. If they do, they've got some plastic you can take and put on top of the window from the inside," he explained.
It's important to make sure the heat your unit puts out stays in the home.
"Hot air rises up, so especially if you have a tall ceiling, you can reverse the ceiling fan so it's pushing the warm air back down," Burgess said.
Then there's pipe protection. When it's cold, turn on your water slightly he says.
"Just so it drips, so water doesn't freeze in the pipes," he said.
Then, go outside and close your home's foundation vents. While you're at it, don't forget the faucets.
"You want to cut these faucets off and most of them have a shut off under the house where you can shut the water off. Then open the pipe up and drain all the water out so the pipes don't freeze," Burgess explained.
Experts say it's not just your pipes you should be concerned with or covering your plants, you should also keep in mind your pets.
"If they are outside pets, make sure they have water because the water is going to melt so make sure they have water. If you bring your pets inside, make sure there's no anti-freeze they can get to because they like that, it's sweet smelling and of course, that's poisonous," Burgess added.
Also, if it snows, protect your home from what could happen after it melts.
"When it hits the overhangs where there's no heat underneath it, it will freeze and water will back inside your house so you want to keep your gutters clean," he said.
Also, if your kitchen sink is mounted against an exterior wall, the inspector says consider opening the cabinet doors at night so that the pipes can get access to heat.

Yesterday's casting announcement that Israeli model and actress Gal Gadot will portray Wonder Woman in the upcoming "Man of Steel" sequel drew a mixed reaction from the comics world.
Gadot, best known for her appearances in three "Fast & Furious" films, competed in the 2004 Miss Universe pageant as Miss Israel. She also spent two years in the Israeli army.
Gadot joins the previously announced cast of Zack Snyder's Batman/Superman movie, acting opposite Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman — a casting decision that also drew considerable ire from DC Universe fans.
Snyder praised Gadot as an "amazing" actress who possesses "that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role."
But some in the world of comics, including "The Adventures of Superhero Girl" author Faith Erin Hicks, weren't so sure, criticizing Warner Bros. for making Wonder Woman play third fiddle to Bats and Supes instead of getting a solo big-screen debut.
Norm Wilner (@wilnervision) December 04, 2013
I hope #WonderWoman will get film that does her justice, not just cameo in support of #Supes + #Batman. I'm not alone on thought, right?—
(@GeekGirlCon) December 04, 2013
HOPEFULLY, Gal Gadot/Wonder Woman will get her OWN film after Man of Steel 2. If DC/WB does the right thing. -A—
Girls Reading Comics (@girlsreadcomics) December 04, 2013
So progressive of the WB to announce Wonder Woman won't get her own movie a week after 2 of the biggest female-lead movies ever opened.—
Faith Erin Hicks (@faitherinhicks) December 04, 2013
I mean, you'd think WB execs might look at Frozen & Catching Fire and think "Hm! Those GIANT PILES OF MONEY could be ours!" But no.—
Faith Erin Hicks (@faitherinhicks) December 04, 2013
@graemem I think this move shows they have absolutely no faith in a female lead superhero movie, any way you slice it.—
Faith Erin Hicks (@faitherinhicks) December 04, 2013
Others, like comic blogger Sue from DC Women Kicking Ass, were more concerned about Gadot's relatively short list of acting credits.
I mean you get Oscar nominees for Selina and Lois and we get someone with this resume as Wonder Woman?—
DC Women Kicking Ass (@dcwomenkicknass) December 04, 2013
There is only one shot at Wonder Woman having a movie. One. It's take 75 years to get here. And if this doesn't work, it's over.—
DC Women Kicking Ass (@dcwomenkicknass) December 04, 2013
Batman, superman, spider-man, they don't work? They recast and try again. That won't happen with Wonder Woman. It won't.—
DC Women Kicking Ass (@dcwomenkicknass) December 04, 2013
Okay. There you go. And beyond the Fast and Furious parts – what do you have to go one? Tell me? How do you evaluate?—
DC Women Kicking Ass (@dcwomenkicknass) December 04, 2013
A common complaint on the Twittersphere involved Gadot's looks, with many complaining that Gadot's waifish build made her an unsuitable candidate to play the iconic Amazon warrior.
Israeli model Gal Gadot is cast as Wonder Woman. Hmm. She's beautiful but VERY slim, not overly 'Amazonian'. Will they make her gain muscle?—
Blake Northcott (@ComicBookGrrl) December 04, 2013
The perfect cinematic Wonder Woman would look like this: ow.ly/i/3VwKf—
Blake Northcott (@ComicBookGrrl) December 04, 2013
Heres hoping the new wonderwoman LIVES in the gym..MUSCLES! also hoping she is near 6 ft tall. A short wonder woman is like a tall rorshach—
Adrianne Curry (@AdrianneCurry) December 04, 2013
But others, including "Superior Spider-Man" writer Dan Slott and former "Wonder Woman" writer Gail Simone rejected the notion that Gadot's looks had any impact on her ability to play the Amazon.
Wonder Woman is magic. She's a magical princess with magical powers from a magical island. Great Hera, who CARES if she's skinny or not?!—
Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 05, 2013
Lynda Carter was a PERFECT Wonder Woman. And what sold it was her confidence, attitude, beauty and style. Not "thickness."—
Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 05, 2013
Complain about Heimdall's skin color or Wonder Woman's body shape, I find it silly. Complain about Superman killing Zod, I'm right with you!—
Dan Slott (@DanSlott) December 05, 2013
Are we really worried the actress is thin? Seriously?—
Gail Simone (@GailSimone) December 05, 2013
Simone went on to express cautious optimism about the casting, and about Wonder Woman's long-awaited turn on the big screen.
I would rather Wonder Woman had her own film, absolutely. But if she is a key player in something great, this also makes me happy.—
Gail Simone (@GailSimone) December 05, 2013
Everyone said that terrible pilot ruined WW's chances for being in a film. Apparently not. She's going to be in a massive blockbuster.—
Gail Simone (@GailSimone) December 05, 2013
If she is great in it, it's good news for Wonder Woman. If the movie is terrible, that will suck hugely.—
Gail Simone (@GailSimone) December 05, 2013
Some, including cartoonist and illustrator Noelle Stevenson, rebuked the Gal Gadot naysayers, calling for optimism and support.
i like the Wonder Woman actress—
JoyeuxNoël Stevenson (@Gingerhazing) December 05, 2013
pessimism/cynicism for how a female character MIGHT be treated looks a whole lot like hating a female character for no reason sometimes…—
JoyeuxNoël Stevenson (@Gingerhazing) December 05, 2013
there's always stuff to criticize but sometimes an ounce of support for female characters/actors can go a long way too.—
JoyeuxNoël Stevenson (@Gingerhazing) December 05, 2013
I am actually excited about Gal Gadot being cast as Wonder Woman.. I am sure she will do a good job.. #believe #WonderWoman #thereistime—
Spazzy (@ComixBookGurl) December 04, 2013
How many trips to Party City and the Fabric Stores do I make where there are NO #WonderWoman products? This gen needs a reason to like her.—
Amber Love (@elizabethamber) December 04, 2013
And from some corners of the comic book world, the casting news was met with little more than a shrug.

The old generic was quickly effective and inexpensive with no side effects for me; I do not find colcrys as effective and suffer because of it; that the generic was eliminated should be challenged.

Yesterday afternoon, I took four tablets (over a period of time (as instructed by doctor). Very early this morning, I began severe diarrhea which has continued to present (mid morning).

Ease of Use
The medication did reduce the pain of gout, but the side effects have included diarrhea and sore stomach, and I had an episode of terrible pains in my hips and calves while out walking today ( which I suspect may have been brought on by the medication). So I think I'm giving up on this drug.
Reviewer: Steve, 75 or over Male on Treatment for 1 to 6 months (Patient)

Initially pain from gout decreased. After about 2 months, I stopped taking it and all symptoms of gout disappeared. This is a very expensive drug- $165 for 30 days. I don't intend to ever take it again,

This medication works great causing my pain to go away completely in 3 days. However, it requires a prescription and costs over $100 for 30 very tiny pills I only take this for 3 days and then stop taking it cause I have heard that it has bad side effects.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Nearly a year-and-a-half ago, Louisville Metro government cut an $850,000 check to an affiliate of the Cordish Co., the Baltimore developer that owns and operates 4th Street Live. The purpose: To help Cordish renovate the vacant second floor of the Kaufman-Straus building for a new bar called Tavern on 4th.
Now, after a series of delays, work appears to be underway on the Tavern, which is billed as a "major expansion" of 4th Street Live.
"We are pleased to report that it is well under construction," 4th Street Live General Manager Jim Layson said in an email to WDRB.com. "…It will be a spectacular new addition to downtown and a major new anchor attraction for Fourth Street Live."
Layson says the Tavern will open in the first three months of 2014. Cordish officials originally said it would open in 2012. Then, in January of this year, they said it would open over the summer.
This month, Cordish took out two building permits for the site, which is above the Sports & Social Club, and construction work is visible from the second floor of the development. Cordish has previously said the Tavern will occupy about 30,000 square feet and will feature an "upscale bar that will appeal to the 30-and-up, professional crowd," a live music room, a patio overlooking the street and "gourmet" pub food.
The Tavern will be owned and operated by John L. Sullivan of New York, who also owns Sully's Saloon and Maker's Mark Lounge, according to Cordish's sublease with the Tavern, which is on file with Metro government, and to Kentucky liquor license records.
Plans for the Tavern come as 4th Street Live is trying to fill four vacant spaces, three of which are on the first floor. The vacancies were formerly occupied by these businesses:
Layson said the Tavern will be taking at least some, and possibly all, the former Improv space. Meanwhile, three restaurants are in the works for the other vacant spaces, he said. He declined to name them, pending signed deals.
"These new venues are truly best-in-class and will be incredible new additions to the downtown dining scene," Layson said.
In all, nine bars and restaurants have closed at 4th Street Live in the last two years, according to media reports. They are: Ri Ra Irish Pub; Angels Rock Bar; Mosaic ; Improv Comedy Club; Red Star Tavern; Mozzaria; Quattro; Hotel; and The Pub.
Layson noted that 4th Street Live replaced the former Borders bookstore space with the brew pub Gordon Biersch and landed a corporate office tenant, Beam Inc., for the second floor of the former Borders space. He added that venues like Howl at the Moon, Sully's and Maker's Mark Lounge have been long-term fixtures of the development, and that Cordish recently installed a huge LED TV screen above 4th Street at a cost of about $300,000.
As for the timeline of the Tavern, Cordish has no deadline to spend the $850,000 in taxpayer money, said David Morris, an attorney with the Louisville Metro Department of Economic Growth & Innovation.
The $850,000 represents the remainder of a $1.8 million forgivable loan Cordish received from Metro government under former Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson. Cordish used the first $950,000 in 2009 to renovate the vacant former Lucky Strike bowling alley for the Sports & Social Club. Sports & Social Club is a Cordish subsidiary.
At the time, there was an uproar at the Metro Council over Cordish's inability to verify that all $950,000 was used for improvements to the space. A group of city officials went to Cordish's headquarters in Baltimore to review the spending records, and the former city auditor said the records "appeared to substantiate" that the money was properly spent, though he could not elaborate under a confidentiality agreement with Cordish, according to a Courier-Journal story from the time.
As for the Tavern, Cordish's building permits listed $208,000 in estimated costs for the work currently underway. But Layson said the total budget for the project is about $1.5 million, most of which is "hard construction items such as storefront, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, millwork, and carpentry." He said the building permits will be amended "as final pricing becomes available as is typical for a project of this nature."
Once the Tavern opens, Cordish will give the bar, doing business as Tavern on 4th LLC, a "lease incentive payment" of $1.3 million to help with furnishing and adding fixtures to the interior, according to the sublease.
The sublease runs for 10 years, beginning with the Tavern's opening date. Part of the Tavern's rent will be calculated a portion of its sales, though Cordish redacted the cost of rent and other financial details from Metro government's copy of the sublease.
Cordish will not have to repay the $1.8 million if both Sports & Social Club and the Tavern remain open for five years, according to the loan terms.

Maps from Cheaha
I forgot to post the maps I made for the weekend of riding … if you are curious about the topography of the entire area, then download the super hires ultra resolution (20MB) map of my Cheaha ride (the last map).
Three days, just under 300 miles of riding
Read my ride recaps and see the photos I took for each day here –
Day 1 – 72.1 miles – commute into work and ride from samford to pell city
Day 2 – 81.1 miles – exploring the oxford – anniston – jacksonville ridge line
Day 3 – 141.6 miles – riding from oxford back home to hoover via mt cheaha
Really fun route from Oxford to Anniston to Jacksonville and back via Fort McClellan – includes two Cat 2 climbs
Oxford to Hoover via Mount Cheaha – mountains of eastern alabama annotated Or click here to download the super hi-res 20MB version of this map.
Cheaha weekend wrap-up
While Kristine finished up her work yesterday at Fort McClellan, I biked home to Birmingham from our hotel in Oxford by way of Mount Cheaha. I climbed Cheaha three different ways — including a new Cat 2 climb starting at the low point on the Adam's Gap side and climbing all the way to the lookout tower inside the state park. This brings Alabama's Cat 2 climb total to 8 — including the two new climbs I discovered in my ride on Saturday. The eight climbs are labeled on the map below.
Annotated map of Alabama cat 2s from strava.com including the new Cat 2s from Saturday's ride ("G" and "F") and the new Cat 2 climb from yesterday's ride ("H").
I am sure there are more out there to be found … I know that climbing Moorman Mountain from the west would also be a Cat 2 (I climbed it from Bain's Gap on the east) — so if there is anybody adventurous out there who wants to get to it before me – have at it!
I left Oxford shortly after 7AM in a fog, very light rain mist all the way through Friendship Rd, up to AL-281 and the first ascent of Cheaha from AL-49. Everything went smoothly until my first descent from the lookout tower. I had been climbing for 7 miles in heavy fog – and since it is all uphill, I hadn't touched my brakes AT ALL and forgotten about how much water would have accumulated on the rims. As I headed into the first switchback and applied the brakes, absolutely nothing happened except for an instant realization that there was no hope of making the turn so I simply straightened up and looked for an escape route that didn't involve running into a cabin or cliff. Fortunately, the brakes dried off fast enough that even before I left the road, they had started to grab and I only ended up a few feet off the road next to a cabin.
This first bit of excitement on the ride led to the next bit of excitement less than a mile later. I continued down out of the park and turned right onto AL-281 to descend down the Adam's Gap side of the mountain. I had only made it half a mile or so and had just reached max speed when I heard the sudden "psssssssss" of a tire puncture. I didn't panic, but I knew I would be in big trouble if the air leaked out before I could slow down. The roads were wet so I couldn't exactly slam on the brakes either. I just pressed as hard as I felt comfortable pressing on the brakes and slowed down to a stop. Fortunately, the puncture wasn't a complete blow-out so I still had air left in the tire to keep the tire from rolling off. At this point, I'm only 29 miles or so with well over 100 miles left to ride so I took my time and made darn sure that whatever had caused the puncture wasn't still in the tire. In fact, I think I spent more time running my finger around the tire and digging out a couple tiny pieces of glass than I actually spent changing and reinflating the tube. It was well worth the effort, though, as I was able to use my pump and CO2 cartridge to fill the tire up to maybe 80 psi and complete the rest of the ride with no more flats. It might have just been coincidence, but I'm thinking that I may have picked up the glass when I went off the road in the switchback previously.
After changing the tire, I finished the rest of the descent and after reaching 45 mph with no thumping or any other signs of a bad tire change, I felt pretty confident that all was good. I attacked the Adam's Gap climb hard so I could get the KOM on it … my legs were definitely feeling the 400 miles that were already in them for the week up to that point — including the hard climbing ride from Saturday, but I was able to get the KOM. Adam's Gap ends at the transition to a gravel "scenic road" that if you followed long enough would take you all the way over to Bull Gap and Brent's new skyway epic course. Turning around, I snapped a few pics and then headed back up Cheaha also pushing it hard to try to get the KOM on this side. By this time, the fog had lifted significantly so that only the very top of the climb was still foggy/wet. At the top, I turned around and headed back down the Adam's Gap side, but this time I turned at the road to Camp Mac and headed down to Lake Chinnabee to do the climb one last time stopping to take pictures of the mountain from Cheaha Lake (over 1000 ft below the summit).
At the top this time, all was sunny and beautiful so I snapped this panorama of the view from the Cheaha restaurant (which is about 250 ft below the true summit)
From there all the way back home was an awesome ride, which I could spend hours describing — but instead I'm going to just let the pictures tell the rest of the adventure.
Exploring, climbing, riding the Oxford-Jacksonville ridge line
Riding today was easily the most fun I've had on the bike in four or five years. Considering how much I love to ride all the time, that really is saying a lot about my ride today. I guess the thing that strikes me the most is how many times I was just flat out surprised on the ride – not just "oh I didn't see that coming", but more like "are you kidding me? are you for real?" in a really good way. I summarized the ride in terms of 10 surprises, listed below. I also took a bunch of pictures and Garmin screenshots I will post later.
A few things to set the background for this ride: Kristine and I are in Oxford for her work this weekend, and the kids had separate sleepovers last night at friends' houses and again tonight at my parents house. Kristine had the idea last week that maybe I could come up here with her and enjoy some riding while she worked and a weekend getaway when she wasn't working. Some of Alabama's tallest mountains are right out the door of our hotel, so I thought – "sure!"
Surprise #1 – no rain!
The original plan was for me to leave work on Friday and ride part of the way over here where Kristine would pick me up along I-20. I documented yesterday's ride, which also included a surprise climb up to a radio tower that I hadn't planned on doing. Then today I was going to bike back home via a long 150 mile climbing route over Mt Cheaha (the highest pt in Alabama). But the weather forecast all week long indicated that most of today would be spent with heavy rain showers and even thunderstorms. So I changed my plan to do a shorter ride (60-70 miles) today and then do the longer ride tomorrow when the rain was supposed to have cleared out. I woke up expecting to find rain and was instead greeted with partly cloudy skies and no rain.
Surprise #2 – an empty interstate-like climb
The route I had created ahead of time had me climbing up Henry Rd and then into some neighborhoods that looked ultra-steep on the map (and a little bit later in the ride when I did get to the neighborhoods, they were even steeper than I had imagined). So I'm following the route and then I realize that I've ended up on a divided highway not on the map that for all intents and purposes is a full-blown interstate that looks like it may climb up higher than the neighborhood route. There was practically no traffic, so even though I could see where I needed to turn, I wanted to just keep on going and see how far the climb went. You could tell where they had dynamited through the mountain and there were some killer concrete drainage ditches with 40-60% gradient that I really, really wanted to try but there were concrete blocks at alternating angles to slow the flow of water. I'm 20% sure you could ride it on a mountain bike with a 1-1 gear ratio while dodging the blocks, but I wasn't going to try it on my road bike with a 39×28. I crested the mountain and of course there is still this tall divider for the interstate so i've got to figure out where/how to turn around.
So I'm on the descent on the other side when I suddenly I realized that the whole thing is still under construction and the road ends at a spot in a valley before another mountain climb where the road hasn't been finished yet. For whatever reason, I just found this all to be hilarious … I guess I was giddy with excitement for the ride to begin with, and then to be only a few miles into my ride on a four-lane divided interstate-like road that is still under construction with no cars in the middle of a beautiful mountain valley was just so awesome that I couldn't stop laughing until I had to focus on the 180 deg turnaround at the bottom. I went back up and over the mountain and halfway down to take the original route I had planned which fairly quickly led to surprise #3.
Surprise #3 – GPS "fail" bigtime
My Garmin worked great as I picked back up my original route, which had all kinds of turns in it as I was looking for contour lines closest together when planning the route — which often means making a bunch of turns from street to street through a neighborhood. I was surprise by how steep the Lynn Rd climb was — the first of maybe thirty or more 20+% gradients for the day (I tried to take a screenshot of all of them so I could count them later – and I know of at least three or four that I missed because I couldn't take my hands off the handlebars to hit the button to take the screenshot).
So anyway I make it back across Henry Rd after the Lynn Rd climb, and I'm diving down hills (53×11), climbing back up 20% gradients (39×28), and then I get to a spot where I'm supposed to make a turn and I see a sign that says "Dead End" … interesting. I pulled up the map screen on Garmin and saw another way to get around, but when I got to the next "road", it was a steep grassy descent behind a curb and a gate. It looked rideable so I hopped the curb and rode around the gate, but after a tenth of a mile or so, the access road ended at a water tank that was gated off. I couldn't see any path beyond it through the woods, so rather than risking poison oak so early in the ride, I turned around and headed back up the grassy climb. I looked at my map again and found another way around, headed down a steep descent and came to another dead end. This was getting to be laughable at this point. This turnaround involved a steep Cat 4 climb back up to the top of the mountain. I revisited the original dead end sign that my route was trying to take me on, and sure enough it really was a dead end – complete with a basketball goal in the road. Another steep climb back up to the top of the mountain, and I tried a third way off the mountain leading to surprise #4.
Surprise #4 – Awesome descent/climb with three different kinds of pavement
This was a mini-surprise, so I won't spend much time describing it – but the descent that finally worked to take me off the mountain transitioned through three different kinds of pavement (chip/seal, tarmac, cement) with some cool switchbacks through a neighborhood into a city golf course. The descent was so cool, that I had to turn around do the climb. Hitting the top of this mountain on a road called "Hillyer Rd" (probably pronounced "hilly-er" road) for a fourth time (maybe fifth? i lost count), I turned around and came back down and hit my original route plan to head through a VERY hilly part of anniston.
Surprise #5 – upper 20% gradient in Anniston
I went through this really hilly neighborhood on the outskirts of Anniston and hit one section that was cemented b/c of the gradient which was probably approaching 30% … I wouldn't know though b/c my speed dropped too low and the Garmin switched over to –% gradient. Easily steeper than Woodcrest in Birmingham which is in the upper 20s. Probably even steeper than Valley Hill, but much shorter (maybe only 1/10th of a mile).
Surprise #6 – Steep Cat 3 climb to radio tower in Anniston
Immediately after leaving the neighborhood with surprise #5, I started a climb that I had seen on the satellite to some radio towers just on the edge of the Fort McClellan boundary. I wasn't sure the status of the road, whether it was gated, or what. It turned out to be a very steep gravel road with even more 20% gradients. Gates were open all the way to the top, and I was able to summit at just over 1500′, which I had not been expecting.
Surprise #7 – Woodland Park
On my way up towards Jacksonville, I road right past the starting spot of the very first century I ever did back in high school (the Woodland-Calhoun century). This was not planned at all, and was therefore quite a surprise that brought back tons of memories.
Surprise #8 – Cat 2 climb in Jacksonville
I had scouted this climb out, and knew that the current segment on Strava was on the upper end of the Cat 3 range but stopped well short of the actual crest of the climb. I knew that if you started the segment a little bit lower and went all the way up to the towers at the top, then it would probably be a Cat 2. So I scouted out the starting point and started on the climb. It starts out very gradually, but then gets steeper as you start to leave town. At the bottom were three college-aged girls (maybe from JSU) all decked out for running – and they were walking up the very steep hill. One of them shouted "good luck", which kinda tells you how steep and long this climb is. It started out steep, flattened out a bit in the middle, then got really steep at what I thought was the end, but as you come around the corner, you see the road skyrocket up for the last 200 feet of climbing and a rather large fence with razor wire across the top blocking access to the towers. But, I was very lucky today in that the gate was wide open. So I was able to ride the climb all the way to the top – where there is an observatory, fire tower, lots of radio towers, and a beautiful view of the valley.
Surprise #9 – Mt Laurel neighborhood
On the Cottaquilla climb, which is on the Foothills Road Race course, there is a neighborhood off to the left called Mt Laurel that was surprisingly steep (I saw 26% at one point), plus a bunch of roller coaster like climbs/descents I wasn't expecting inside the neighborhood.
Surprise #10 – stumbling upon a Cat 2 climb!
The last surprise was the best of all. I had seen a climb called Bain's Gap, which was on the Fort McClellan property, that I assumed would be inaccessible because of the military. So when I passed the turn-off for the road and didn't see a gate, I decided to just turn and see how far I could make it up the climb before encountering a gate, or road block. Instead of a gate, I found a national wildlife refuge, amazing waterfall, more 20% gradients, a nearly unrideable gravel road that I was able to ride (barely) and a friendly local at the top who was able to tell me a shortcut to get back home – oh and it worked out to be a climb with over 1200′ of gain putting it well into the Strava cat 2 category.
Cheaha Weekend Kickoff
Kristine is working this weekend in Anniston, and the kids both have sleepover tonight and tomorrow night – so that makes for the perfect getaway weekend for some training in the mountains of east Alabama. After class today, I headed on a climbing route along the Shades Mountain ridge northeast of Birmingham all the way out to Margaret before heading east over the Bald Rock ridge down to Pell City. AL-174 climbs over the Bald Rock ridge at Elbow Gap and on the smaller peak there is a radio tower access road that climbs up over 1200′ – I've seen it before, but never had a chance to do the climb until today. Nice gradual climb on paved double track rewarded with a beautiful view from the cliffs at the top. The first panorama below is the view. You can see the Bald Rock ridge on the left side of the picture, and you can also see the rain clouds moving in. It started to rain on me when I started my descent from the top.

Tea comes from the leaves of the warm-weather evergreen Camellia sinensis, and it is classified into five types: black, white, green, oolong and puerh.
Experts say all are healthful. Many scientists link health benefits to tea's polyphenol antioxidants, which protect against oxidative stress, but others say they don't know exactly which chemicals or combinations of chemicals in tea produce the benefits. Sherman, for example, said there's no evidence connecting tea's antioxidants to beneficial effects, and he pointed to a study showing that black tea reduces LDL, or "bad," cholesterol without affecting antioxidant levels, suggesting something else in tea is causing this.
Numerous epidemiological studies — which establish correlation, not cause and effect — focus on tea's role in reducing cardiovascular disease, the nation's biggest killer.
A 2004 paper in the Archives of Internal Medicine, for instance, looked at hypertension rates among people who drank tea for at least a year. The study, conducted in Taiwan, found that those who drank about four ounces to 20 ounces of tea a day had a 46 percent lower risk of developing high blood pressure than people who didn't drink tea regularly.
Another paper, published in 2002 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, culled through the results of a large study concerning chronic disease and found that people drinking the greatest amount of tea — more than 12 ounces a day — had barely half the risk of heart attack as people who did not drink tea.
More recent cardiovascular research was presented in September at a symposium at the Department of Agriculture in Washington. One study found that black tea reduced blood pressure in all participants and counteracted the detrimental effects of high-fat meals in people with high blood pressure.
"The more tea you drink, the better," Sherman said. "It's astounding, really."

RAF helicopter grounding 'extremely unusual'
RAF staff reported that it was extremely unusual for all four of the RAF Valley helicopters to be unserviceable with such substantial technical faults.
The report added the performance of the crew from RAF Leconfield was was 'extremely commendable'.
It added: 'However, the risks they faced during the rescue were exacerbated by the lack of more locally available search-and-rescue helicopters.'
The MV Carrier ran aground in strong winds and large waves on the North Wales coast on April 3rd last year, having been loading limestone at Raynes Jetty at Llanddulas.
All seven Polish crew members were winched to safety and were uninjured, in spite of the delay. However, the vessel was substantially damaged and was declared a 'total constructive loss'.

MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - The FBI has captured a fugitive bank robbery suspect with ties to suburban Long Island. Luis Alomar is wanted for at least 20 robberies along the eastern seaboard in places including New York, New Jersey and Delaware, the FBI said.
Agents took Alomar into custody Tuesday morning in Medford. The 37-year-old was considered armed and dangerous. A federal arrest warrant exists for him for a holdup in Delaware.
He also is believed to have ties to southern Florida, specifically Palm Beach County, Kissimmee, and Osceola County.
Alomar was in custody and unavailable for comment.

CATEGORIES Drama, Independent, SXSW, Sundance, Slamdance, Universal, Distribution, Family Films, Home Entertainment, Cinematical Indie, Features, Movies, Sundance Film Festival, SXSW Film Festival, CinematicalWho doesn't love Screen Media Films? Without them, we wouldn't be able to rent The Karate Dog, featuring the voice of Chevy Chase, or the spoof Disaster! The Movie, with the voices of all of Mötley Crüe. Okay, so they don't just distribute bad straight-to-video titles -- they also allow us to see the mediocre directorial offerings of Kevin Bacon and Chazz Palminteri. And they must be doing something right, because they have a great distribution deal with Universal Home Entertainment, and now they also have enough money to expand.
This week, at Sundance, Screen Media will debut its new theatrical division. The company has distributed films to theaters before, such as Bacon's Loverboy, but never on a big scale. Their first release will be Bickford Shmeckler's Cool Ideas, a comedy that Scott saw at SXSW last year (he called it "one of the more colorful surprises" of the fest). They apparently will also be distributing Weirdsville, which premieres next week at Slamdance.
Anyway, this is mostly important news for any filmmakers out there in Park City who can't seem to find a good deal. Look for the Screen Media reps. You could be in the same library as The 12 Dogs of Christmas! And if you think you're better than that, just remember the photo above, because surely Jon Voight once thought he was better too.

This heavy giant breed makes a good family dog, but due to its size is best suited to a country life. They are a friendly, welcoming breed that loves people. They enjoy being outdoor dogs and have a menacing stance when guarding property.PURPOSE OF BREED:The noble Saint Bernard was developed by the ?Monks of the Hospice du grand St. Bernard,? where they were used to assist the monks and travelers through the treacherous Alpine paths. They were also used as search and rescue dogs when avalanches occurred.AVERAGE LITTER SIZE:10 puppies
There are two varieties of coats found among Saint Bernards; both are very dense, short or medium in length and tough but smooth lying. The long coated variety has feathering on the back of their legs, undercarriage and tail. The long coats require weekly brushing to keep their hair clean and healthy. Saint Bernards are usually red and white, or red/black and white.
Hip and elbow problems.
Saint Bernard is good with children, but must be supervised around small or young children due to their size.
Note: As we are interested in providing the best possible information within our site; we encourage dog clubs, authors or breeders to submit information for this breed. Currently we are looking for a profile for this breed that will cover general information, description, costs associated with raising this breed, life expectancy, history, grooming, trivia and average litter size. If you have information on this breed, please email us atÿcommunity@petstyle.com

Nzonzi to face City after appeal (From The Bolton News)

Nzonzi to face City after appeal
11:08am Monday 31st December 2012 in National Sport News © Press Association 2014
Stoke midfielder Steven Nzonzi will be free to face Manchester City on New Year's Day after appealing against his sending-off on Saturday.
Nzonzi was shown the red card for an alleged stamp on Southampton's Jack Cork during a thrilling 3-3 Barclays Premier League draw at the Britannia Stadium.
Potters manager Tony Pulis was angered by the decision, arguing Nzonzi did not make contact with Cork, and the Football Association have confirmed an appeal has now been lodged.
As there are not two working days before Stoke's trip to the Etihad Stadium, the 24-year-old will be able to play in his side's next match.
Stoke will have until 1pm on Wednesday, after which a hearing will be held, to submit evidence.
If the appeal against referee Mark Clattenburg's decision is rejected, Nzonzi will face a ban of at least three matches.
Pulis, who felt Cork overreacted, said of the incident: "Whether the reaction of Cork, who is a good player and a good lad, has influenced Mark, I'm not sure, but Steven certainly doesn't stamp on the player.
"There was no intent. He's actually planted his leg between his legs, which was quite clever."

To kick off the run taking place in Cicero at 11 AM, FOX 32's Jake Hamilton decided to test out his skills by running with the bulls himself – though it didn't quite go according to plan.

Essential tremor
Other Names for this Disease
- Benign essential tremor
- Familial essential tremor
- Hereditary essential tremor
- Presenile tremor syndrome
- Tremor, hereditary essential, 1
Essential tremor is a disorder of the nervous system that causes involuntary, rhythmic shaking (tremor), especially in the hands. It involves tremor without any other signs or symptoms, and is distinguished from tremor that results from other disorders or known causes, such as tremors seen with Parkinson disease or head trauma.[1] Essential tremor (sometimes called benign essential tremor) is the most common of the more than 20 types of tremor.[2] Essential tremor is a complex disorder. Several genes are believed to help determine an individual's risk of developing this condition. Environmental factors may also be involved.[1] In mild cases, treatment may not be necessary. In cases where symptoms interfere with daily living, medications may help to relieve symptoms.[3]

The Thunderbirds demonstration team will likely not perform again until early 2014 because of budget cuts that have grounded pilots since April.
Many Air Force combat aircraft that have been grounded since April because of budget cuts will soon begin flying again, the military announced Monday.
The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and 16 Air Force squadrons will begin training flights, military officials announced.
Still the Thunderbirds' popular aerial demonstrations remain canceled for all of 2013. An Air Force official told NBC News the team is "not show-ready."
The Air Force says it can take up to six months for some air units to be mission- or show-ready. The resumption of training means shows may be able to begin in early 2014.
Military officials also hope the 16 squadrons grounded by the budget cuts will be combat ready by the end of this year or the early part of 2014.
"Since April we've been in a precipitous decline with regard to combat readiness," Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of Air Combat Command, said in a statement. "Returning to flying is an important first step, but what we have ahead of us is a measured climb to recovery."
About one-third of active-duty aircraft were grounded by the so-called sequester cuts, including fighter jets, bombers and reconnaissance aircraft.
Officials at Air Combat Command at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia said in a statement that Monday's announcement affects planes in the U.S., Europe and the Pacific.
With flights grounded, pilots have struggled to maintain proficiency levels that would allow them to maintain mission-ready status. With the resumption of training missions, Air Force officials hope to reverse course and begin to get more pilots prepared for military action.
And like the Thunderbirds, the Navy's Pensacola, Fla.-based Blue Angels will likely not resume air shows in 2013, according to a Navy official.
Pilots have been flying to maintain a minimum level of proficiency, the official said.

Rose Strong Speaks At Lincoln Day Dinner
If the diners at the annual Lincoln Day Dinner thought it was going to be a quiet evening of dinning and laidback speeches, then they had be surprised when the aptly named Rose Strong took to the podium and gave a speech that had all in the room paying close attention.
Rose is a 30 year veteran of local and national politics, and her speech left no doubt that she has been successful in overcoming any barriers put in her way because she was a woman, a black, and originally ran for office in the deep south.
Rose briefly touched on a background that has included being the former Deputy Director of Intergovernmental Affairs in the Department of Transportation, the first Black Republican woman elected to the City Council of Columbus, George, and has also been an observer of elections in third world countries, and a strategist for the Black Republican Women International, to name but a few of her accomplishments
In her speech to the Lincoln Day Dinner guests, Rose stressed the importance of the local Republicans continuing to work to get their message out, and the importance of election reform that will insure the next state election is not based on improper vote counting; in short, keep us the fight, and the fight is not over. Rose received a standing ovation for her speech.
