Chris Froome has spoken for the first time of his devastation at pulling out of this year's Tour de France.
In his first UK interview since he abandoned the Tour de France on stage five because of a fractured wrist, Froome - who was the defending champion - told Sky Sports News that pulling out was \"one of the hardest things I have ever done.\"
\"We were on such a high after the first few stages over in the UK,\" he said. \"The support over there was insane, second to none, and it just felt like such a deflation getting over to France and crashing on stage four like that.
\"Knowing that it could be the end of the Tour and having to start next day with that at the back of the mind - it was definitely right up there with setbacks as far as setbacks go.\"
Speaking at Team Sky's Nice training base, near his home in Monaco, he said he is now feeling much better.
\"It has been a really difficult period and obviously pulling out of the Tour was one of hardest things I've ever done but I think at the time, it was quite clear I wasn't going any further with things the way they were,\" he said.
\"It all started with a crash on stage four and that was just one of those things that could have happened to anyone. Wrong place, wrong time.
\"I could feel immediately when I stood up that something was not quite right. I finished (the stage) and had (my wrist) scanned. We didn't see anything worrying at that point but it had swollen up quite a bit.
\"I started stage five and conditions were tough and with everything taped and bound in place with a split, trying to control the wrist, I couldn't steer the bike in the way I normally had to control it. On a stage like that you need to use your hands.
\"It was quite a savage stage even before we had hit the first cobbled section - I'd come off twice. It was clear to me at that point: this is a long shot. We're not going to get through the cobbled stages now.\"
The extent of Froome's injury meant the decision to withdraw from the biggest bike race in the world was made for him.
\"It wasn't actually that tough to pull out because I'm not stupid. I could see the swelling on the wrist. The signs were there that things weren't right and I think it was the sensible thing after those two crashes on stage five I could just see that hold on this isn't right that I keep racing here and putting others in danger because I can't handle my bike here. I think it was tough decision but sensible thing to do.\"
However Froome said crashing out of this year's Tour was not necessarily a bad thing for Team Sky and could help the team in the long run.
\"It's tough. Winning the Tour de France is extremely tough,\" he said. \"I think we have been really fortunate at Sky for the last two years having things to go our way and I think it's easy to get lulled into that false sense of security of almost how easy it is at the time, but it's a huge ask winning something like the Tour de France.
\"I don't think we can ever go there and think that, ok we've got this one in the bag. It's just never the case.
\"It's not necessarily a bad thing what happened this year. Obviously it's devastating for us as team havening won it for last few years we put a lot of expectation on this year's Tour. In a way it's been a good readjustment for us and to revaluate things and to look at where we are and how better to improve looking forward to next year's Tour.
\"In cycling when you come to the end of something and it doesn't work out, you are very quickly onto next thing already, and for me the Vuelta has become another opportunity, another challenge to be able to get my teeth stuck into and work hard towards that.\"
Team Sky turned to rider Richie Porte as their \"plan B\" after Froome, their team leader, crashed out.
However Porte had a terrible ride on stage thirteen. He slipped down the general classification from second to sixteenth, cracking on the final climb of the stage. Froome thinks it was the right decision for the team to earmark teammate Porte for the team leadership in his absence.
\"In hindsight, you can always look back and say, well if we'd done this and put that rider there, but you can't change things. I think the management chose the best team at that time,\" he said. \"We had a great plan B in Richie Porte and he really was in fantastic position, until he got sick. Sometimes things just don't work out. That's bike racing. That's sport. We are going to have to go back next year and give it our all again.\"
In the near future Froome plans to take on another Grand Tour, the Vuelta a Espana, which starts on August 23 in Jerez de la Frontera in Spain. He will then take part in the Road Cycling World Championships from 21-28 September in Ponferrada, Spain, where he is likely to support Team Sky rider Ben Swift.
However he admits his main goal is next year's Tour.
\"It's been quite refreshing to come in now knowing I'm not going in as defending Tour de France champion again,\" he said. \"I can probably fly under the radar a little bit more now. I've definitely had a taste of how much more pressure going in as reigning champion. It's not an easy position to be in.
\"For me I don't need any fuel for the Tour de France. It's a race where I'm always going to give it my all to and do my fighting best. It will definitely spur me on to be absolutely ready for next year's edition. It's just one of those things. I'm just going to have to suck it up now and move on.\"

BUMC Transgenic Core has a New Scientific Director
The BUMC Transgenic Core, established in 1995 by Dr. Katya Ravid, has played an important role in the activities of many scientists at our institution. As part of the continual evaluation of all cores, a faculty committee was established to advise Provost Antman and me on the future role of transgenic services at BUMC.
The committee members were unanimously in favor of maintaining a Transgenic Core facility at BU and increasing its capabilities to serve a larger user group. While the committee recognized that implementation of this recommendation will require new investment at a time of fiscal uncertainty, they were convinced that a transgenic core providing state-of-the-art services is essential for maintaining and growing the University's research portfolio.
After careful consideration of her many leadership commitments, Dr. Ravid has chosen to step down as Scientific Director of the core because of conflicting time commitments. We would like to thank Dr. Ravid for her creative work and efforts on behalf of the institution in establishing and directing the core over the past 20 years. Her insights and efforts contributed to the success of many research projects and grants at BU.
Dr. Kenn Albrecht, a developmental geneticist with broad expertise in the creation and analysis of mouse models of human disease and a collaborator of Dr. Ravid and the Transgenic Core on multiple projects, has agreed to become the new Scientific Director. Please join me in thanking Dr. Ravid for her efforts and Dr. Albrecht for continuing the mission of the Transgenic Core Facility.

Microsoft Lets Best Buy Sell Surface Tablet, But Not Channel Partners
From a Microsoft channel partner's perspective, what's worse: Not being allowed to sell the Surface tablet, or seeing a loathed big-box retailer get that privilege?
That's what happened this week when Microsoft, in a slight widening of its initial Surface tablet distribution plan, began letting Best Buy and Staples carry the device. Microsoft says it's boosting production of Surface tablets, so perhaps this is a case of it needing more distribution hands on deck. Or, it could be that Surface sales through Microsoft stores and kiosks aren't cutting it, and the software giant is turning to companies that specialize in moving computing equipment.

Partnering with...Iran?
The Sunni militant group ISIS continues to gather power as the United States weighs its options, including possibly working with Iran.
The U.S. ramping up its presence in the region.
Obama announced yesterday that 275 ground troops are on their way to Iraq who are equipped for combat. Their purpose is to protect American citizens and property in Baghdad. They will remain there until the security situation becomes such that it is no longer needed.
The Obama administration is also said to be considering sending Special Forces. Over 100 special force troops may be sent for the purposes of advising and training Iraqi troops. According to Fox News, their mission would be "non-operational training, therefore making it forbidden for them to engage in combat.
Over the weekend, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered the USS George H.W. Bush to the Persian Gulf, accompanied by a guided-missile cruiser and destroyer. They are there for additional flexibility.
John McCain has made it clear that we should be striving to minimize Iran's role in Iraq, just as Secretary Kerry says that we are open to the idea of working with them to resolve the growing crisis in Iraq. McCain makes the point of why we shouldn't encourage Iran's participation: This is the same Iranian regime that has trained and armed the most dangerous Shia militant groups, that has consistently urged Prime Minister Maliki to pursue a narrow sectarian agenda at the expense of national reconciliation, that supplies the rockets that have been fired at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, that has sponsored acts of terrorism throughout the Middle East and the world, and that continues to use Iraq's territory and airspace to send weapons and fighters to prop up Bashar al-Assad in Syria... For all of these reasons, and more, the United States should be seeking to minimize greater Iranian involvement in Iraq right now, not encouraging it. That means rapid, decisive U.S. action to degrade ISIS and halt their offensive in Iraq.
Fox New's Jennifer Griffin reports, The commander of Iran's elite Quds Force, Gen. Ghasem Soleimani, was in Iraq on Monday and consulting with the government there on how to stave off insurgents' gains. Iraqi security officials said the U.S. government was notified in advance of the visit by Soleimani, whose forces are a secretive branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guard that in the past has organized Shiite militias to target U.S. troops in Iraq and, more recently, was involved in helping Syria's President Bashar Assad in his fight against Sunni rebels.
It gets worse. The Washington Free Beacon reports that the State Department knew that Iran had 'trained, funded, and provided guidance' to ethnic Iraqi terror groups bent on destabilizing the country. The warning was issued in April of this year. This State Department would like you to believe that Iran and the United States have a shared interest in Iraq, but based on this report it is clear that this is not the case. Iran is a prime sponsor and enabler of radical destabilizing groups throughout the region.
This is also the same Iran that has been carrying out secret executions of political opponents, according to brand new reports.
So the same country that was targeting our troops and fomenting civil war in Syria, on the side of Assad, is now consulting with the very troops we are going in to help stave off the ISIS? It just seems wrong.
As of Tuesday, the BBC reports that clashes are taking place in the city of Baquba, which is 40 miles north of Baghdad. Pentagon officials are confirming that military equipment from the United States including trucks and Humvees have fallen into the hands of the ISIS and are being shipped to al Qaeda militants in Syria.
The Daily Beast reports that defense and intelligence officials claim that it is difficult for the United States to carry out targeted military strikes because we do not have boots on the ground providing intelligence. It's hard to tell who are the bad guys and which guys could be turned against the ISIS. And while the analysts are trying to figure out who they should zero in on, Obama administration lawyers are wrestling with what legal authorities the president might have to carry out an attack. But don't worry. Where the United States has failed, Iran has offered to step up with everything [the Iraqis] need in the vacuum of leadership. Will we allow that to happen?

At that point, its center was 290 kilometers (180 miles) west of Baguio City.The storm comes on the heels of Typhoon Nesat, which left 52 people dead and hit 34 provinces Tuesday, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council. The two typhoons have affected about 3 million Filipinos, according to the nonprofit humanitarian group, World Vision."The immediate need is ready-to-eat food and water," said Jay Mijares, a spokesman for the group. "Survivors have no means to cook food. We are seeing a mass exodus of people looking for food, there is no supply, and on top of that their livelihood is disrupted. They have money but there's just nothing to buy." The latest typhoon -- Nalgae -- made landfall in Dinapigue, in Isabela province, on Saturday morning, the disaster council said. It moved past the Asian island nation by Sunday, forecasters said, after having brought rain of 15-25 millimeters per hour (0.6-1 inch) in many areas.The heavy rains caused a landslide Saturday that swept a passenger van off a highway, killing one man and injuring one more, the disaster council saidAt least 850 families, or roughly 3,500 people, in the provinces of La Union and Pangasinan were affected by flooding, according to a Sunday morning update by the council.Over the course of the weekend, the storm forced the closure of a number of bridges and made a number of roads impassable in the cities of Calasiao and Dagupan on Luzon island, according to the disaster council. Affected residents are being evacuated from those communities and others, including Santa Barbara.Officials suspended operations at ports in Balanan, Batangas, Lucena, Puerto Real, Kawit and Calapan City, the disaster council said. Service was expected to be restored at some ports by late Sunday morning, the council said. By Sunday, gates were opened at four dams that had reached their spillage levels, the council said. World Vision said Saturday that it had to postpone some of its relief efforts from the first typhoon due to Nalgae, with two of three emergency teams set to deploy once the storm passes. Another team is in Bulcan province, most of which is "still submerged" from heavy rains from the first typhoon that struck days earlier. Sherbien Dacalanio, a CNN iReporter in the Philippines, described one area of Manila as being devastated by Nesat."The damage is shocking. It's like a damage brought by earthquake and tsunami," Dacalanio said.More from asiaIndian mob breaks into jail, beats rape suspect to death Marital rape: Why is it legal in India?Rape suspect dragged out of Indian jail, killed by mobPowered by Livefyre

Feels like the pads are grabbing better than the stock ones ever did, no fade at all, and no squealing at all. Price is higher than the last set of brake pads I bought, but were worth the increase for the solid feel and stopping power they provide.

Eileen Fisher Viscose Jersey Scoop-Neck Tunic - Regular
Perfect for any occasion. Dress it up with jewelry or dress it down with a scarf. True to size. I am usually a size 4, and bought an XS. Great fabric
February 12, 2015
Busty girls need not apply
The tunic itself fit wonderfully and hung great, except for the bust. I could have gotten away with it, but I would have been self-conscience.
I ended up returning the tunic
December 18, 2014
I want this in more colors, please!
Oh boy, do I love this tunic. I was looking for something to wear with leggings as they seem to be all the rage, and this tunic is perfect. Such a cute look! This top is made of scrumptious material, so comfortable and easy to wear; I imagine I will reach for it often. I wish it came in more colors, as I'd scoop them all up. For reference, I'm 5'3, 115 lbs, 34C and am delighted with the PS. Pricey, yes (hence the 4-star rating, and I even got it on sale), but when I find a piece this versatile and flattering, I will pay the higher price.
December 16, 2014
I love this tunic!
This tunic is a go-to piece for me. It's very versatile and flattering. I wore it to a concert 2 days ago and will wear it to brunch tomorrow. Eileen Fisher sure knows how to make women look good. This piece will get a lot of wear.
October 31, 2014
Flattering comfort
This fits very typically of most of Eileen's line. I usually wear a medium and this one fits me perfectly. Super comfortable and very cute with capris or leggings.
One note, is a bit fuller than depicted in the pictures.

text: Artists creates intricate portraits out of old maps Culture 11 May 11 by Olivia Solon Tweet Two BostonsNikki Rosato Artist Nikki Rosato creates intricate portraits by cutting away at old maps, leaving only the roads and rivers behind like a network of blood vessels.Rosato uses a Stanley knife to hand cut away all of the landmasses between the roads and waterways and then uses the delicate paper left to create portraits -- some in 2D and some sculptural pieces. For the sculptural pieces, such as a bust she created of herself, she first of all creates a structure out of packing tape to act as a mold and then shapes the map around the head, using a gel to stiffen the material and supporting the overall frame with an internal structure of small wires. Larger pieces require a number of different maps glued together. Rosato told Wired.co.uk: "Through the removal of the land masses, the places almost become ambiguous since all of the text is lost. Unless someone really knows the roads and highways, it is almost impossible to identify the place."She first started playing around with maps after finding a box of vintage maps in a used bookstore at a printmaking conference at Virginia Commonwealth University. She bought a few and took them home to experiment with, noticing how there was a parallel between the road lines and the lines that cover the human body.She explains: "I was thinking of what it means to have a physical body and what it feels like when one is treated like one is just a body -- simply regarding the body as a structural casing. I was breaking apart the body into lines, thinking about fingerprints, footprints, wrinkles, creases in the skin and how this relates to issues of identity. The surface of the human body is literally covered in lines, and these physical lines hold stories about our lives. "For her first map series -- If you were a place you'd be... -- she took photos of friends and asked them which place they felt best represented them or that was important to them. She then used a map of that place to create a likeness of them.She adds: "By making portraits in this way, the map tactually becomes a delicate skin-like structure. The map serves as a visual system mimicking skin or veins, etc, and it is a system that shapes identity. The map is a memory."Rosato notes that because paper maps are rarely used any more, they are easy for her to acquire. "For my birthday this year, my mom surprised me with about 20lbs of used road maps that she obtained from online sources such as eBay. "More recently Rosato - who is studying at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston -- has been using the cut-away maps as stencils to aid the creation of large-scale drawings. "I'm hoping to create a narrative through the visual figural relationships that I lay out across the drawing paper -- touching on ideas of loss, abandonment, memory, identity, and relationships," she explains.Make sure you check out the map-tastic gallery below. Edited by Nate Lanxon Comments I love the use of light and shadow with these sculptures. Beautiful! Nanette Joyce Jun 2nd 2011 These sculptures are super cool, I have to put in photos for my art project of works that inspired me and this definitely makes a number one spot. I also come from a family that loves maps so I can relate as my brother, uncle and father constantly try to create things using maps or other programs or images that represent transport ?

My 'near-death experience' on Air Force One
(Read article summary)'Åir Force One Aborts Landing,' and I was there! Yes, it took two tries for the plane carrying the president to land in Hartford, Conn. Poor visibility, apparently. Too bad I didn't notice....
Josh Reynolds/AP
I had a "near-death experience" on Air Force One today and didn't even realize it – at the time, at least.
Everything seemed routine. I was (and still am, until about midnight Wednesday) the print "pool" reporter traveling with President Obama to New London, Conn., for his commencement address to the Coast Guard Academy, then to Boston for two fundraisers.
We took off on AF1 Wednesday morning from Andrews Air Force Base and landed in Hartford about an hour later. Soon after, I heard from CBS Radio reporter Mark Knoller, who had not been on that AF1 flight. He had seen reports from journalists at the airport in Hartford that it looked as if Air Force One had aborted its landing and had to come around for a second (successful) try.

Today Dr. Don discusses loan payment calculations and where to complain about bank service.
Calculating a loan payment
Dear Dr. Don, I was given an interest rate of 15 percent on a home equity loan with a monthly payment of $356. I plugged the numbers into Bankrate's Loan Payment Calculator and I come up with a different monthly payment. The particulars of the loan are: $25,000 loan over 15 years at 15 percent. The calculator came back with a payment of $349.90. How should I resolve this? Is the Bankrate calculator correct? Clyde
Dear Clyde, It doesn't sound like much but an extra $6.10 per month is $1,098 over the life of the loan. That $1,098 received over the next 15 years is worth $440 today. Who wants to give that up to the bank? Yes, the Bankrate calculator is correct. I also ran it on a financial calculator and duplicated the Bankrate number.
If you've got the particulars right, then either there's something else included in the monthly payment, other than principal and interest, or the lender is using a nonstandard method of calculating the interest due on the loan payment. Look to your loan agreement to find out if you're paying some type of insurance, service or origination fee that is being financed over the life of the loan or ask your lender why the payments don't match.
With Truth-in-Lending laws, it's unlikely that the lender incorporated an insurance, service or origination fee that you didn't sign off on when you closed your loan. If you find out that you're paying for something that you feel was glossed over in the loan process, then ask the lender to correct the problem.
If the lender is a bank and can't explain to your satisfaction why the payment differs from the loan calculators then you should contact the Customer Assistance Specialists at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and ask them to help you work with the bank to solve the problem.
Where to complain about a bank
Dear Dr. Don, I recently asked my Virginia based bank to send me a check for interest earned in my account over the past year. The bank took 10 days to process my request before mailing the check -- after they had told me it would be mailed the day after my request. I complained and they told me it was just one of those things. Then, and only then, they mentioned they could have wired the funds to my local bank. (Useless information to me at this point.) I wrote to them requesting they speed up this process and asked for assurance it would not happen again. It is a federally chartered bank. If I wish to write a letter of compliant, to whom do I write? Is there a bank department in Virginia? Or is there a complaint department within the Federal Reserve? Bill's Due
Dear Bill, You got lousy service, and it no doubt inconvenienced you in your plans to use that money, but do you really need to make a federal case out of it? A wire transfer isn't always the answer. Wire transfers are for when it absolutely, positively has to be there today. Banks typically charge between $25 and $50 for that service. Most savers will wait for the check because the wire fee really eats in to the yield on their savings. Still, it would have been nice if the client service rep had let you know that was an option.
Not dissuaded from lodging a complaint? Then the best place to start is with the Customer Assistant Specialists at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) charters, regulates, and supervises national banks to ensure a safe, sound and competitive banking system that supports the citizens, communities and economy of the United States, according to the OCC Mission Statement.
The State of Virginia has a Bureau of Financial Institutions as part of the Virginia State Corporation Commission. Their purview is more over state chartered financial institutions than federally chartered national banks, but they may be able to help you with your complaint.

Frankie Ballard Opens Up About What Being 'Young and Crazy' Really Means
Frankie Ballard's "Young and Crazy" is about living life to the fullest and taking advantage of situations — even if sometimes, you get hurt.
Frankie Ballard's "Young and Crazy" is about living life to the fullest and taking advantage of situations — even if sometimes, you get hurt.
Frankie Ballard's nasty shoulder injury came as a result of a misunderstanding between him and the ground.
Dan and Shay's Dan Smyers didn't always know he was going to be a musician. In fact, if he hadn't gone this route, he'd probably be working on Wall Street. The singer reveals that his major was far from studying Music Theory, but shares that math and music actually have a lot in common.
Tyler Farr is a man of many talents. From playing sports as a kid to performing now, he can do it all. Recently he sat down with Taste of Country Night's Sam Alex to dish on his guitar skills (and Luke Bryan's pearly whites).
Before becoming one of Nashville's hottest songwriters, and then one of Nashville's hottest new male artists, Sam Hunt was a college football quarterback at Middle Tennessee State University and UAB. Recently he revealed that he suffered a pretty bad concussion that temporarily scared him from the game.
Jana Kramer is a woman of many talents. She became famous after appearing on 'One Tree Hill,' but before she was a pretty well-known actress, she was spending time in the spotlight at Detroit Red Wings games, as an ice skater!
These days, Carrie Underwood is balancing preparing to be a mom with releasing new music ... by blending the two together, sort of.
Carrie Underwood and husband Mike Fisher have stayed busy choosing a name for their first baby, a boy, due next spring. The couple has found a few they're happy with.
Trace Adkins has just launched his Christmas tour, and he stopped by Taste of Country Nights to talk about the uniquely intimate concert experience.
Lee Ann Womack has a traditional country sound, but she isn't bound by genre lines. When the singer stopped by the Taste of Country Nights studio recently, she opened up about an R&B collaboration, also revealing that one huge civil rights activist is a huge fan of hers.
Brantley Gilbert played quite a trick on his girlfriend before surprising her with a ring earlier this fall. The singer shared the details behind his engagement, including who else was there and what song he sang for his bride-to-be.
