Because cycling tends to be safest where there are many cyclists (Jacobsen 2003), and most dangerous in places with few cyclists, and because helmet promotion campaigns reduce the overall numbers of cyclists, helmet promotion increases the risk of cycling.I'm not convinced on that last bit. I'd rather be helmeted in a bike-unfriendly city, than unhelmeted in a bike-friendly city. From Thompson, et al 1996:
Bicycle helmets, regardless of type, provide substantial protection against head injuries for cyclists of all ages involved in crashes, including crashes involving motor vehicles.and from Macpherson, et al 2002:
The strong protective association between helmet legislation and head injuries supports the adoption of helmet legislation as an effective tool in the prevention of childhood bicycle-related head injuries.posted by bergeycm at 9:17 PM on October 5, 2009 [2 favorites]
So, how dangerous is cycling? According to the UK government's road casualty statistics (3), in 2007 there was one fatality for every 32million kilometres cycled. That's actually slightly fewer per kilometre than for pedestrians, who suffered one fatality every 36million kilometres. But because each cycle journey is, on average, longer than a walking journey, the chances of a cyclist being killed on a particular journey are 2.5 times higher, on average, than for a pedestrian. In turn, both these rates are considerably higher than for car drivers and passengers (one death per 400million kilometres travelled), and those on buses and trains (one death for every 3.3billion kilometres travelled). Nonetheless, it is clear that deaths are extremely unusual on our roads, even for those who aren't wrapped in a ton or two of metal.posted by TheophileEscargot at 4:18 AM on October 6, 2009 [1 favorite]
Madam, – It is understandable that those involved in emergency and head trauma medicine are firm believers in the efficacy of cycle helmets. It's an area where prevention is far preferable to cure.Finally, we have to remember that this is a public health issue. Persuading people to weat helmets costs money—and is not conclusively shown to increase public health. However, building segregated lanes for bikes definitely works, as does banning heavy goods vehicles from city centres. (Over several years in Dublin, 8 from 11 bike deaths were a result of HGVs and they're now banned).
However, their confidence is misplaced. Unlike motorcycle helmets (solidly constructed, securely attached, but often insufficient) cycle helmets are flimsy constructions of polystyrene, covering the top of the head, and often insecurely attached.
Realistically, cycle helmets will protect only in low-speed impacts – they are designed for up to about 20 km/h (equivalent to a fall from a stopped position). At higher speeds, they are overwhelmed by the energy of the impact and offer negligible protection (double the speed and you quadruple the energy). Helmets are not airbags and are simply too small to protect at higher speeds, such as when motor vehicles are involved.
Protection at low speeds is perhaps desirable but, contra Conor Egleston (September 15th), the evidence that it makes much of a difference at the population level is weak.
Where helmet wearing has been made compulsory, the results have been disappointing. New Zealand's experience of a legislation-driven rise from 40 per cent to 90 per cent helmet wearing was of no detectable change in the trend in cyclist head injury, and in other jurisdictions the fall in the numbers of injuries was less than the fall in cycling.
To take a broader view of public health, cycling is estimated to have health benefits that outweigh the dangers by at least 10 to one. It is much more valuable to get more people out on bikes, bareheaded or not, than it is to push for protective devices of limited value. – Yours, etc.
Department of Sociology,
University of Limerick
Road:Since helmets evolved from a road racing standpoint, and the distinction between mountain biking and road helmets is artificial, it seems like the aero shape developed for road racing has seeped into designs for other types of cycling. Road and mountain biking are probably the two largest genres of cycling, and initially it seems like mountain bikers had no choice but to go for a road helmet if they wanted a cycling specific helmet. As commuting and (sub)urban cycling has increased, I think the necessity of an aero shape has become somewhat unnecessary for many cyclists. It looks like many helmet manufacturers are embracing this and a rounder less aero helmet has emerged.
The original bike helmets were made for bicycling on roads and road racing. As they have evolved, they mostly had an elongated shape, always with vents, and are usually made with EPS foam covered by a thin plastic shell
An artificial distinction, actually a type of road helmet. The term has come to mean "has a visor" for most manufacturers.
Yeah, but there are all kinds of ways, really billions and billions, that you can just fall over and hit your head on the hard concrete road below, and end up with permanent brain damage. You don't even have to be cycling--you can be just sitting on your bike, not moving (this was told to me by someone who fell off a bike and now has a permanent slow shuffle in his walk).And I'm reminded of Americans who think public healthcare can't possibly work, never mind that it works great in most other countries. The concrete is just as hard in Amsterdam.
There is a Monty Python skit: the 100 yards for people with no sense of direction [begins at ~0:20]. It's exactly like that when you ring your bell.Except in japan, where it's like this.
In the United States traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death for persons under age 45. TBI occurs every 15 seconds. Approximately 5 million Americans currently suffer some form of TBI disability. The leading causes of TBI are motor vehicle accidents, falls, and sports injuries. ...So despite all these safety features, vehicle accidents are still the leading cause of brain injury.
If there were some way to stabilize the head when driving - akin to wearing a mail suit from the Middle Ages - more people would walk away from automobile accidents without serious brain injury.
In terms of hours-per-injury, Bicycling actually has a better rate than even walking (Something like .25% rate of injury),Surely for those of us who cycle for transportation, though, the correct comparison would be injuries per mile, rather than injuries per hour.

Apple has discarded its vision, but that's okay.
via d35lb3dl296zwu.cloudfront.net
It cannot be denied that Apple's showing today was jam-packed with new products, in terms of sheer number of products announced, 2012 is already Apple's most saturated year ever, seeing the announcement of the iPad 3 ,OS X Mountain Lion, iOS 6, MacBook Pro with Retina Display, iPhone 5, next generation Mac mini, next generation iMac, iPad mini, and iPad 4. Announcing products like no there's no tomorrow, Tim Cook may actually hold faith in the forthcoming Myan prophecy.
However, where 2012 leads in volume, it lacks in ambition. First let's group this years announcements by category and sub-categorize them in terms of subjective importance. The italicized I consider to be of particular note:
Apple's Major 2012 Announcements:
iPad 3
iPad mini
iPad 4
iOS 6
Mountain Lion
MacBook Pro with Retina Display
Mac mini
iPhone 5
iPod Touch 5G
iPod Nano 7G
<quote class="pullquote">In terms of sheer number of products announced, 2012 is already Apple's most saturated year ever</quote>
There are two common threads linking the vision of the 2012 Apple suite, the two components of Apple's unique adroitness. The first is Apple's immaculate record of unerring build quality and the continually radical engineering accomplishments that make them up. Samsung touts the stone like nature of the S3 but it's the iPhone 5 that feels like a finely cut and polished sapphire. There's no obvious reason the Retina display MacBook Pro should demonstrate better overall performance than Sony's top of the line Vaio Z while also pushing 150% more pixels but it does. This is the palpable part of Apple magic, it doesn't need to be explained in great detail because it's quite clearly there; the technological performance and improbably compact designs the masses didn't realize were possible until it happened, at no point should a faster performance or a thinner body be dismissed.
<quote class="pullquote">At no point should a faster performance or a thinner body be dismissed.</quote>
The second component of Apple as we know them, the part that's near allegorical, are the creative ways in which its boundary pushing hardware is utilized, the common buzzword for this manifestation is innovation. In 2011 Apple brought forth a comprehensive method of synching across multiple devices, creating an unified ecosystem that worked like the future should(remember, Google didn't have a proper tablet in 2011) along with OSX Lion, through which, if you look closely enough, Apple has detailed the coming fortune of the fastest selling computer line in the world. While Lion was not OSXI, it made clear Apple's commitment to push OSX forward and avoid the kind of blind stagnation that has forced Microsoft to estrange itself from, quite actually, their entire primary consumer base, businesses and everyday professionals, by jamming over 5 years of missed opportunity into one major release. We witnessed similar pensive thinking from Apple with iPhone 4 and iPad in 2010, MacBook Air in 2008, and iPhone in 2007.
Apple made a phone, but it wasn't predictable

So what inconceivable new fauna can be seen grazing in Apple's herd of new borns this year? Between eleven new products, there must be one, right?
But there is not. That isn't to say Apple's products haven't gone untouched, iPod Touch and iMac, in fact, over went radical changes this year, but this is particularly anecdotal not in showcasing Apple's commitment to innovation but rather their recent inhibitions to it; these two products, while still profitable, are two number one devices in two non-competitive markets that shareholders and bleeding edge consumers aren't paying much attention to. Apple takes its largest creative liberties, it would seem, in its least competitive product categories. This is not the same company the took the hugely successful iPod Nano and released a silk white usb stick as a followup, nor the company that succeeded the best selling smartphone design of 2008 through 2009 with a flat slab made out of 2 pieces of glass and a metal band, then taught you how to hold it.
Remember when this thing leaked? Radical.
<quote class="pullquote">Apple takes its largest creative liberties, it would seem, in its least competitive product categories</quote>
Let's take a moment to compare Atenna-Gate to Map-Gate.
In the first case, Apple did something intrepid and flawed yet brilliant and when the media pushed, they pushed back. In the latter, Apple attempted to re-create a competing and perfectly workable service, came up short in almost all respects and humbly apologized when told it wasn't good enough.
Of course, the Apple that simultaneously domineered and amazed its loyalists and the media is not gone, what we're witnessing is more akin to a cumbersome puberty. Consider Apple's proliferation into the mainstream analogous to a deepening of its voice. Apple, the sophomore in high school, commands more power and clout than ever and is now delicately attempting to embrace his new found popularity without abandoning his middle school friends(his elementary school pals are long gone).
This somewhat awkward duality is represented most profoundly in the iPad line. When the original iPad was first announced, Apple called it "the best web surfing, email, photo and video experience", adding "With a screen this large, you can just see more of the web" and "You can see all of the top stories".
"This defines our vision, or sense of what's next"
So it's like, designed specifically to balance on the human lap?
via www.blogcdn.com
Remember "magic"? This was delivered with conviction and backed up with calculations(valid or not). 9.7 to 10.1 became the new de facto range for tablets not only because Apple said so but because Apple said so and then explained why it was. 'Of course I need to see the full internet' , we thought, 'that's what makes sense'.
The iPad is literally a large iPod Touch, but functionally it is not. The iPad mini is literally a smaller iPad, and that's what it is functionally, too, according to Apple at least.
Watching the product video, Apple quickly brushed over the new diminutive size, the only benefit touted being the mini's supposed one-handed use and even this aspect is framed as a minor convenience to the inevitably of a 7.9 inch tablet. One that will be used in "so many different ways", not a single one of which was detailed because Apple doesn't know and maybe they don't care, what they do know is that people will buy it, giving the company a strong foothold in a booming sub-market.
<quote class="pullquote">The original iPad, as framed by Apple, is about the means to an the end of creating the best possible media consumption device, the iPad mini, also as framed by Apple, is about the means to an end of creating a 7.9 inch tablet</quote>
This, by the way, is a terrific ad (I was getting a little worried after the jaded pretentiousness that permeated the iPhone ads).
via d35lb3dl296zwu.cloudfront.net
The original iPad, as framed by Apple, is about the means to an the end of creating the best possible media consumption device, the iPad mini, also as framed by Apple, is about the means to an end of creating a 7.9inch tablet, or rather, a Nexus 7 competitor, an apt summary of Apple's 2012 output.
via d35lb3dl296zwu.cloudfront.net
But that isn't so bad, look out for my explanation of why in a follow-up post.

Also see article Local or Organic? A False Choice by Samuel Fromartz
This well written book is a great overview of how the organic food movement began and also gives insight into where it is headed. While many of the smaller organic brands have been taken over by large food companies, so long as the organic certifications stay strong, I don't have a problem with it, but it was interesting to know a bit about the history of different companies, like Silk Soy Milk. The book discusses the different philosophies in the organic movement and explains the landscape very well.

Awesome location to Disney and shopping right down the road! Very clean, friendly neighborhood. Palm trees up front, a pool out back, great place!
Poor WiFi reception
Private swimming pool Lots of space Perfectly equipped kitchen/house
I loved the location because it was close to all of the activities and town.
I was not happy with the air, We were not able to control it so it was uncomfortable at night. The pool have no pump to keep the water moving.
There wasn't anything I did not like!
Not really anything
The clean up lady was very nasty
Everything We Needed Was Right There. House Was Spacious & I Had 5 People With Me. Close To Everything
Nothing. Everything Was Good. Luv Staying Here
We loved everything. Great place to stay. Definitely will come back.
Loved the house The staff was very friendly.
The Internet connection was too slow.
Tv's could have been more up to date
I've never stayed in a villa before but definitely will consider for my future trips. There was a lot of space, privacy, and comfort for very good price. The pool was clean and villa was well furnished.
One of the Remote controls for the TV's was not working. Thankfully the other remote could work both TV's.
The price was reasonable and we were close to a lot of places. Walmart, Nike store, etc. Also my kids enjoyed access to the community pool!
The furniture was old fashion :) and closet doors weren't hanging to well, we stayed a week so we used the closet space! That's all though!
It hit every mark - I'll definitely using them again and won't hesitate to advise family and friends - thank you
Plenty of space and privacy for large family. Comfortable furniture and beds with lots of linens. Very clean. Location was close to many restaurants, stores and Disney World without having to travel the congested interstate.
The Laguna ad projects the pool location as being close within a villa setting. The pool is actually a gated "neighborhood" park with limited access and not so close.
The private pool.
It made my vacation so relaxing it was as if I was at home.nothing beats that home feeling.also it was in the perfect location.we would love to stay there next year if we fine it available
Nice quiet locatin with ducks! Well equipped for holiday stay. Two bathrooms. Near Walmart! Great holiday so much better than a hotel.
A bigger tea pot would have been good! Also instructions on how to use waste disposal and a map of the surrounding area would have been helpful. Also think you should consider installing a safe for valuables. Instructions re trash/rubbish were confusing
It was clean. The location was very good. The staff was courteous and didn't bother us, which we preferred.
Nothing was modern, except one TV. Most furniture looked like it was picked up from a thrift store, and wasn't very comfortable and nothing matched. The WiFi was absolutely horrible.
The property is close to all parks, restaurants. Walmart is a walk away. premise quite comfortable and a quiet neighborhood.
Property is a little dated; one TV set did not work; but for the price and convenience......the good outweigh the bad.
I liked that it was close to everything.
The tv had little chanels not many for the kids to watch.
Comfortable and relaxing.
the WI-FI connection
Every thing
Nothing except the heat
It is very nice villa with all facilities. Also it is in good location near Walt Disney world.
The Wi-Fi was too slow.
location, quite neighborhood.
no toilet paper, needs to state need bring this. Also they do have ant problem so if have someone with you with ant allergy you need to be aware of this.

Your genes may be the reason you can't stand the smell of certain foods.
Researchers in New Zealand tested 200 adults for their sense of smell and took a blood sample to analyze their genetic makeup.
They found certain gene mutations led to an increased sensitivity to certain odors, including malt, or beer, apple, blue cheese and violets.
Experts say this proves there is a genetic component to a person's own unique sense of smell.

Campus Housing:
small room but we survived
Campus Housing:
It's too soon to say, since I'll be a freshman. My sister says I did great with housing though.
Campus Housing:
I love living on campus, it's a great experience.
Campus Housing:
Freshman year I stayed in the Dickinson dorms, they were the most run down dorms on campus and the experience was unlike anything I had ever had to live in. The people I lived with were great, but the bathrooms were terrible.
Campus Housing:
Freshmen housing was easy to navigate. You described what you wanted with a click survey and almost everybody received the type of room they wanted. RAs were more than helpful. Some of the rooms are older but in the next couple years freshmen will be in all newly built dorms. Spacious and ease acres to campus. After freshmen year get to pick exact room you want. Good system. Unique rooms that are perfect for a college student.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Danielle Todd
Where you live can make all the difference to your college experience. This is not to say that there is any one great place to live, but that you should figure out which location will suit you best. For freshmen, the party dorms are Rodney and Dickenson, while the more studious dorms are on East Campus. The trade-off for the quieter setting is that East Campus is much prettier.
Freshman housing tends to be cramped and overcrowded, with three to a room becoming more common every year. While the rooms may provide little privacy, this can lead to the bonding that many freshmen long for in their first year. Upperclassmen have many more options than freshmen and can find the most suitable rooms for their needs, whether those include more privacy or special-interest housing. All students should try to live in a freshman dorm their first year; it will help them adjust to college life and learn about the on-campus housing options for future years.

Here are some of the good things readers noticed around the area recently:
The Danville Library Foundation Board of Directors, executive director Cathy Reardon and volunteer coordinator Millie Wilson send hearts "to everyone who assisted with the Spring Used Book Sale on March 23.
"Thanks to your incredible dedication and support, the book sale was once again a huge success! It is only through the generosity of volunteers and library staff the foundation is able to offer our used book sales to the community.
"We are truly grateful to all who participated either through their volunteerism or their financial contributions."
Ila Hoshauer of Danville sends hearts to those who helped her during a recent hospital stay.
"When I was in the hospital at Presence (United Samaritans Medical Center), they were just wonderful — the nurses and doctors and everybody.
"I just want to thank them. I want them to know how much I appreciated my care."
Yvonne Holden of Danville and organizers of the benefit for Paula Ewell send hearts "to everyone involved in making Paula's benefit an overwhelming success.
"It would be impossible to thank everyone individually, but you know what you did.
"Please accept the family's gratitude for all the prayers, generosity and love shown during this difficult time."

In answer to that important question, my friend, the invaluable poet Pavel Chichikov, writes me:
There's another foaming at the mouth op-ed piece in the NYTimes today, by Bill Keller, who describes himself as a 'collapsed Catholic.' Yells at the Pope for being undemocratic ('soviet') and says the Catholic Church is stupid and reactionary for not supporting:
Abortion on demand
Gender differences ( read homosexual 'marriage'?)
Ordination of women
congregational ( I guess that's what he means) governance.
Since none of this sounds like the Catholic Church, what would anyone need the Catholic Church for? There's a perfectly good branch of the Ethical Society a few blocks from here.
When a Catholic who hasn't collapsed yet says the hierarchy needs to get its act together, I listen. When somebody collapsed who believes in abortion on demand says it, I begin to squint and get suspicious.
The reason my friend Pavel acts this way in the presence of the sort of folly Bill Keller utters is as follows: He's Not Dumb and He Cares What the Holy Spirit Says. Bill Keller is dumb and doesn't care. He cares what the NY Times editorial board thinks. That's why Pavel can understand Bill Keller but Bill Keller couldn't, in his present unrepentant arrogance, understand Pavel or his Lord if his soul depended on it (and it does). The light shines in the darkness but the darkness cannot comprehend it. Anybody who attributes to a too-powerful Catholic orthodoxy the reason that boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, and boys are raped by Cutting Edge Progressive Priests like Paul Shanley–a man who vigorously upheld precisely the agenda Keller advocates–is simply a fool. You might as well blame drought on heavy rain.
But Keller is not merely a fool: he is a wilful fool, a living laboratory demonstration of C.S. Lewis' remark that "The trouble with trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you can often succeed." His problem is not lack of information. His problem is that he hates the gospel because it does not conform to the worldview of the NY Times editorial board and never will. Sin, as the theologians used to say, darkens the intellect. In plain English, sin makes you stupid. And the cleverer you are, the stupider it makes you. Only exceptionally clever people like Keller or Maureen Dowd can write nonsense as deeply shallow as they so regularly produce in their hatred, not of Catholic sins, but of Catholic truths.
