Bib Shorts Buyer's Guide + eight of the best
The right shorts make a difference here's how to find the best ones for you whatever your budget, from £30 to £230
Previous Buyer's guide
Next Buyer's guide
When it comes to performance cycling, whether it's long rides on Sunday mornings or road racing, and sportives, bib shorts are where it's at for outright comfort. The pad provides comfort so you can sit in the saddle for hours at a time, the straps avoid a waist band digging into your stomach, and there's no excess fabric to flap about.
While there are other shorts available - baggy, urban and waist shorts - for any rides of that combine distance and speed bib shorts are hard to beat for comfort. Althought they're shorts you can wear them year-round, under tights in the winter, on their own in the summer. And no, you don't wear underwear under them, if you're wondering, they're designed to sit next to the skin.
Bib shorts are the cornerstone of a cyclist's wardrobe, and it's worth investing in a good pair (and if you're riding frequently, you'll want to have a couple of pairs). The pad is where a lot of the money goes, but don't always assume that the more expensive the short the better the pad, posher fabrics and more panels can contribute to higher costs as well. Fortunately these days you can get really good bib shorts from about £40 which are good if you're just starting out in cycling. You can spend as much as £240 if you're feeling particularly flush, but you do begin to get diminishing returns in extra comfort.
They sure look odd though, and to non-cyclists they will definitely raise an eyebrow. Ignore them though, because when it comes to comfort bib shorts win hands down against all other shorts if you want to ride far and fast.
There's some important things to know first if you're in the market for a pair of bib shorts, so here we're taking a look at the key aspects to consider before spending your hard-earned dosh.
Women's shorts
The main difference with women's shorts is in fit and the insert, it's usually a different size and shape, typically narrower and shorter. While the bib straps on men's shorts go straight up the torso, some manufacturers take different approaches with bib straps on women's shorts, either pushing them out to the sides or having a single central strap.
Some have bib straps that can be easily unclipped which can make toilet stops easier. If you don't like the idea of bib shorts then there are lots of regular Lycra shorts available, however the benefit of bib shorts is there is no elastic wasitband digging into your tummy. Most manufacturers offer women-specific shorts and there is plenty of choice available.
Padded insert
Inside the bib shorts is the most important part of the shorts, the pad. The main job of the bib short is to support the foam pad between body and saddle. It's often called the chamois, on account of early bib shorts using a real leather pad (yes, really - you used to have to treat them with chamois cream to keep them soft) or insert, and are mostly made from synthetic materials.
When buying your first pair of bib shorts, remember that most of the money goes into the pad, though this isn't a golden rule. In theory, and in practice too most of the time, the more you spend on a pair of shorts, the better the pad, but this isn't always the case, so it pays to do your homework carefully. The road.cc bib shorts review archive is a good place to start.
The pad is shaped to conform to the body, and provide padding where you make contact with the saddle. The most important areas are where the sit bones make contact with the saddle. Cheaper pads might have a single thickness pad, while the more expensive pads use variable levels of foam thickness and density to keep the pad thinner where you don't need much cushioning, and more padding where you do need it. Such pads are generally more comfortably as a result.
Look for a pad with antibacterial finish for hygiene, to things from getting messy down there. Some have channels or perforations to wick away sweat- there's nothing more uncomfortable than a soggy pad. The pad should feel reasonably soft and have some deformity to it, so it shapes to your body - it needs to sit flush with your curves so in a way it's part of you. You don't want to sit on top of the pad. The better pads we've tested tend to feel like they're not there at all.
Manufacturers are now aiming shorts at different riding types, so it's possible to choose a pad that has more padding designed for endurance riding, and ones that are slimmer better suited for shorter rides or racing.
Pads comes in men's and women's versions, with shapes to suit the different anatomies. No two pads are the same though, they can vary hugely in thickness, shape and other factors, so the best thing is to try them on before you buy. Just like saddles, what works for one person won't necessarily work for another. We're all different shapes, weights and riding styles can influence the type of pad that will work for you..
Fabric and fit
Moving away from the pad, the fabric and fit are really important to your comfort. The fit is influenced by the number of panels used to make the shorts. There more panels there are, the more complex the shorts are to make, and so they cost more. Lycra is the dominant fabric choice these days but there's a huge variety.
Manufacturers are now combining different fabrics at the top-end to achieve a good fit and a level of compression. Some shorts are designed to work better in hot weather with more breathable materials, and some are better suited to the winter with a thicker fleece-lined Roubaix fabric. It's even possible to get shorts made from water resistant fabrics, ideal for the British climate.
Sizing is crucial and varies from brand to brand, so we'd really recommend trying them on before you drop your cash if at all possible
Bib straps
The shorts are held in place with twin straps that stretch over your shoulders. They need to be stretchy and wide so they don't dig into your shoulders, and also so you can manage toilet stops without having to bend over backwards.
Men's shorts typically have widely spaced straps, but for women-specific shorts there are a few different solutions, some joining the straps in the middle of the chest, with a buckle to allow easy removal for toilet breaks. Often the rear of the bib section will be a large panel of mesh material to aid cooling.
To keep the shorts in place on your legs - you really don't want them riding up and exposing your tan line - some sort of gripper tape will usually be used. Silicone tape or dots is the most frequent solution, along with elasticated hems, to keep the shorts in place.
Some manufacturers are moving away from this approach to broad highly elasticated hems that rely on compression to keep the legs in place. They're typically more comfortable with less skin irritation, and they don't dig into the skin either.
Other features
Another detail to look out for is the use of reflective material on the back or legs. It's possible to get shorts designed for night time riding with large areas of reflective material. A race radio pockets at the back of the shorts is designed for use by professionals, but it can double up as phone/MP3 player pocket.
What are your options? Here are eight priced shorts from £30 to £230

Really like both the mondo evo shorts and my Rapha 3/4 cross pair, but my fave of the minute are the Morvelo a bloc set, did 117 miles last weekend with barely a complaint, even with 8500 ft of climbing. Excellent article, David, thanks, I'd definitely hunt out the laser cut wide elastic shorts in the future', so much more comfortable, they're a real advance. For winter, wrong season I know, I'd strongly recommend pad-less bib tights over favourite shorts.

For me after a lot of trial and error, Assos are the only ones that fit properly. They are expensive but considering the discomfort other bibs give, it's a price worth paying for me.

dhb are great value for money and perfect for my regular 50-60 mile rides, but the best fitting bib short and pad I've tried is the Castelli Bodypaint with progetto X2 pad, just a different level altogether. If you're patient and can wait for a good offer to appear then they come down to the 'affordable' level.

Agree with the Castelli Velocissimo, keep an eye on Wiggle etc as they often reduce to £60ish rather than usual £90 mark. I am not a skinny bloke and still find them a great fit.

Castelli shorts are perfect for 'lanky skinny gits'.
The Free Aero or Body paint are proper pro level fit.
I'm a small or an XS in any short I've ever bought, but have to use a medium in Castelli shorts.
IMO there is no better insert than the ones in these shorts, I actually prefer the fit of the free aero to the more expensive Body paint.

Skins ones for me, the compression is super and the pad works well. I actually have more difficulty finding a vest / base layer to fit under them that doesn't replicate the digging in of shorts around my waist.

You want something high backed as in the picture under "Fabric and Fit" above. I have some old "Gore" ones which are low front and back and keep falling off the shoulders when I get off the bike.

Looking at the comments for "lanky" cyclists made me smile. It's always the other way around for me. I want cycling clothes that fit the more robust cyclist.
Yes, I'm a little heavier than I should be but I'm never going to be really thin; my body just doesn't work that way.
So I'm always battling the need to fit the width, both upper body and quads, against the extra length that I don't need. Especially in the upper body where it can either be too loose or there can just be too much fabric higher up on the back.
So far dhb, Altura (not the latest versions) and Sportful (although the full bibs are a little long in the leg) are ok but other makes not so good.
Any other suggestions? Other than starve myself thin...

The bodyFit pad in the Gruppetto and BodyFit shorts from Sportful is by far the most comfortable I've tried, though I'd probably go for the 'limited' version of the shorts 'cos the bibstraps on those are so comfy. I'm a skinny/lanky climber shape and find those are good for me.

Glad you have grippers highlighted - for me, this is make or break, that solid rubber line (sometimes with a big vertical seam too) on cheaper to mid-level shorts gets hideously uncomfortable for really long rides, especially if hot. I'd second the santini recommendations, I tend to ask myself 'Assos or Prendas?' for most things and the latter normally wins on price vs performance.

Why can't they take some inspiration from the MTB world and make something a little more interesting?
Because Rule#14 is clear on this subject: "Shorts should be black."
Rule 15 provides some elaboration:
Black shorts, or at least standard team-kit shorts, must be worn with Championship jerseys and race leadership jerseys. Don't over-match your kit, or accept that you will look like a douche.

Yeah, I got that in the email post the other day. What a tedious waste of time. They obviously don't get that 'The Rules' are an in-joke. There are ways of parodying them and then there's that.
Anyway I think the Rapha pro-shorts are £190 at the moment....sadly.
At a risk of sending this board into over drive, why no mention about what to wear under your bib shorts......

ZipVit gets my vote here too.
Tried loads but the ZV's are the best I've had, the pad is some kind of honeycomb with lots of depth. I did the Jurassic Beast epic last week and was comfy all the way round.
In terms of value they're great, I've paid more for vastly inferior stuff elsewhere.

I tried bib shorts years ago and hated them. The pair I bought did not fit closely around the waist, so when leaning forward my unmentionables were just swinging around unsupported. A couple of weeks ago I was persuaded to try Altura ProGel and I'm completely won over.
They fit around the waist just like normal shorts, the pad is incredibly comfortable and isn't bulky, the straps don't chafe and the leg grippers work as they should. For those who want a dash of colour, they are also available with either red or white seams. I'm 5'7 and a slim 10 stones and the medium is perfect for me. Wiggle are knocking them out for £44.99 (If you're a small you can get last years version for just £25.00)

Bib shorts all the way! I own many pairs as I do a lot of year round riding. And they vary from relatively cheap to expensive. I tend to use my best ones for longer distances and the cheaper ones for commutes, short trips and racing.
I had some Danny Shane bib shorts which I bought a couple of years ago in the States - they were favourite shorts - very light material, superb pad and straps. I was gutted when I lost them whilst travelling. But hooray - they are in the UK now www.dannyshane.co.uk
But more to the point - I'm a firm believer in comfy bibs & comfy saddle. Just say No to anorexic saddles!!

With nigh on £100 at stake here and lots of 'try before you buy' warnings, how does one approach this? Should you expect a LBS to let you try on pair after pair, nipping outside to have a spin around the block? Do you promise to leave your undies on? This is the unspoken sort of thing people new to cycling never get to hear.
Any LBS staffers care to comment? Anyone done the full-on comparison ride test? Or do you buy 5 pairs from Wiggle and return 4?
I was told there would be Cake. Luckily there's http://TestValleyCC.org.uk

Colts TE Dwayne Allen gets rid of boot on foot
ANDERSON, Ind. (AP)
Colts tight end Dwayne Allen got rid of the walking boot on his injured right foot Friday - the final day of practice at Anderson University.
Allen hasn't practiced since complaining of foot pain last Wednesday. Coach Chuck Pagano has said Allen is expected to miss a couple of weeks, but the Colts remain hopeful he will be healthy enough to return for the Sept. 8 season opener against Oakland.
Pagano said Allen would be using a combination of an orthopedic in his shoe a walking boot others as he recovers.
The Colts other prominent tight end, Coby Fleener, was scheduled to have another concussion test later Friday. If he passes, Fleener would be cleared to play Sunday night at New York.

Paul helps you decide which two-start pitchers are worth using this week and which ones you should avoid.
Welcome to the Weekly Pitching Planner. Each week I will cover the pitchers are who slated to make two starts and help you decide who you should start and who you should sit. Sometimes guys will be in the "consider" where they might have one good start, but a second tough one and then your league settings might determine whether or not you should go forward with him. The pitchers will be split by league then by categories:
Auto-Starts – These are your surefire fantasy aces. You paid a handsome sum for them either with an early draft pick or high dollar auction bid so you're starting them anywhere, anytime. Guys can emerge onto or fall off of this list as the season evolves. There won't be many – if any – notes associated with these groupings each week. We are starting them automatically so why do I need to expound on how awesome they are and will be in the coming week?

With Cliff Lee now added to the staff, where does the 2011 Phillies rotation rank all-time?
As Kevin Goldstein noted, Monday, December 14, 2010 may go down as one of the 10 best baseball nights in the history of Twitter. The night had it all: accounts successfully replicating those of very reliable sources to pull a prank, subsequently sending everyone and their followers into a veritable frenzy, the cream of the free-agent crop signing a lucrative contract, the revelation of a mystery team akin to a turn in a wrestling story line, and practically anyone that cares about baseball emotionally invested in every twist and turn. When the dust settled, Cliff Lee had agreed in principle to sign with the Philadelphia Phillies, a year to the day after Ruben Amaro Jr. acquired Roy Halladay and 363 days after Amaro traded Lee to the Mariners in a companion deal that drew the ire of every Phillies fan. The news was shocking, as it had seemed for weeks that Lee's decision would boil down to the Yankees or Rangers. After all, both were contending teams making big offers.

A series that will feature spectacular pitching may come down to the tiniest advantages to decide the winner.
So, let's see, for an initial checklist for maximum LCS entertainment potential, is there anything missing? Record-wise, the two best teams in National League? Check, even if we allow for the fact that the Giants weren't one of the top two teams in Clay Davenport's adjusted standings. The two best rotations in baseball? Check. Heck, it even features two of the three best defensive units in the league (via PADE), with only the already-vanquished Reds separating the Giants and Phillies. And the offenses are... well, OK, this whole clash of the titans thing only goes so far, because they're not both among the best in the league. The Phillies are, tying for third in the league in team-level True Average, but the Giants finished back in ninth place, even with Brian Sabean's ticky-tack trades to accrue incremental improvements.

Taking a look at disaster starts from many different angles.
Going into Monday evening's game against the Blue Jays, the Yankees had every reason to feel good about themselves, having come from behind the night before to secure a stirring 10-inning victory over the Red Sox. With one more win (or a Red Sox loss) they would clinch a spot in the playoffs. Alas, by the third inning Monday night, it was clear the Yankees would be uncorking no champagne, as starter A.J. Burnett dug them a 7-0 hole by allowing two homers, seven hits, and seven runs while retiring just seven hitters. Had the Yankees been at home, Burnett would have been booed off the mound by the Bronx faithful, but as this was a road game, Yankees fans were left to hurl rotten tomatoes and blue epithets at their TVs.

A World Series rematch helps the two-time defending NL champs return to business as usual.
So it turns out the solution to all of the Phillies' problems may have been as simple as a rematch against their World Series foes. Mired in a slump for the past three weeks, their offense finally broke out against the defending world champion Yankees, scoring more than four runs in back-to-back games for the first time since May 20-21. Meanwhile, a pair of their soft-tossing starters subdued the majors' highest-scoring offense, helping the Phils to win their first series since the calendar flipped to June.

Featuring a full slate of games and for the first time this year... Interleague!
Let's play seven!
Every team has a full slate of games next week. Every team. That means we have 59 two start pitchers to run through. Why 59 and not 60 you ask? Because the Boston Red Sox are being kind and throwing six pitchers this week with Tim Wakefield going early and Josh Beckett taking his spot for the weekend.

Who are the favorites for the #5 spots in the starting rotations of last year's World Series participants?
At the outset, Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes have the inside track to the #5 spot for the New York Yankees. Neither Chad Gaudin (career 4.61 SIERA) nor Sergio Mitre (4.15) have had sustained success at the Major League level as a starter. Mitre missed the entire 2008 season due to Tommy John surgery and did not inspire confidence upon return in nine starts last year. However, stats like xFIP and SIERA have thought more highly of his performances than regular old ERA.
Chamberlain in 2009 (4.43 SIERA), after spending most of '08 as a reliever (3.02), saw his strikeout rate chopped by nearly three batters per nine innings while his walk rate increased by nearly one, sending his K/BB ratio below 2:1. Additionally, he allowed nine percent fewer ground balls and seven percent more line drives while his HR/FB rate more than doubled. His fastball and slider usage dropped by several percentage points while his curve and change-up use increased accordingly. The velocity on his fastball and slider diminished by 2.5 MPH and 0.5 MPH respectively.

Evaluating single high-profile signings against more scatter-shot solutions to team needs.
In the first two parts of this series, I explained my new approach to contract valuations and whether MORP should be linear with respect to WARP. Basically, this entailed asking the question of whether Matt Holliday, perhaps a six-win player, could be just as easily replaced by signing two three-win players or three two-win players. The issue is roster space and playing time. The alternative argument to doing MORP linearly is that a team can sign Holliday and concentrate all six of those wins on one spot of the diamond, and then they could improve themselves more by filling their other openings with decent players as well.

Southwest bakes in 115 to 120-degree heat
Officials said personnel were added to the Border Patrol's search-and-rescue unit because of the danger to people trying to slip across the Mexican border. At least seven people have been found dead in the last week in Arizona after falling victim to the brutal desert heat.
Temperatures are also expected to soar across Utah and into Wyoming and Idaho, with triple-digit heat forecast for the Boise area. Cities in Washington state that are better known for cool, rainy weather should break the 90s next week.
The heat was so punishing that rangers took up positions at trailheads at Lake Mead in Nevada to persuade people not to hike. Zookeepers in Phoenix hosed down the elephants and fed tigers frozen fish snacks. Dogs were at risk of burning their paws on scorched pavement, and airlines kept close watch on the heat for fear that it could cause flights to be delayed.

Fucking Mary had a little lamb, this ain't no fairy tale
from Eminem (Ft. Kendrick Lamar) – Love Game Lyrics on Genius
Kendrick's relationship with Sherane will be anything but a fairy tale, meaning there will be no happy ending.
Also, "Mary Had a Little Lamb" is a nursery rhyme, not a fairy tale, thus Kendrick literally points out that it's not a fairy tale.
"And everywhere that Mary (Sherane) went,
The lamb (Kendrick) was sure to go"

Exposed Fractured Bedrock in the Central Peak of the Anaxagoras Crater
November 29, 2012
Figure 3 shows a section of the Anaxagoras crater floor, including a section of the anorthositic central peak complex. The crater floor is covered in relatively smooth impact melt; the melt in this image has degraded over time and is now covered by an upper regolith layer and displays numerous younger small impact craters. Sections of the central uplift protrude above the crater floor melt and are covered with large boulders. Fig. 3 - The boulders on the central peak ridge cast distinct shadows due to the low Sun angle. Image is ~1.8 km across and is resampled to 1.5 m/pixel for this posting. The white box shows the the location of today's main featured image. Credit: NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University.

COPALIS BEACH, Wash.--It's a sunny day on the the Washington coast, but when storms head in, especially during the winter,people who live in towns like Ocean City can't see what's coming on weather radar.
We're in a no man's land, said Carol Davis, owner of theSunrise Market for 34 years. We get to experience the weather, but we don't know what it's going to be.
You can see it onTV weatherforecasts, online, or even on your smart phone. It looks like a big, widening wedge running to thesouthwest over many coastal counties and out tosea.The reason, is thatthe Olympic Mountains blocks the signal from the radar located on Camano Island.
Sometimes people think it's sunny inGraysHarbor County, or at least nor raining. The reality, is thatit's a blind spot.It's usuallyjust as rainy or windy as it is everyplace else around it you can see.
There's a giant gap over there, said University of Washington meteorologist Cliff Mass on the subject of Grays Harbor County. He's been a major proponent of putting a second radarnear the beach that will fill in that gap.
Meteorologists say it's important because the blind spot is in a bad space, because a lot of our worst storms come out of the southwest.
Grays Harbor County's Deputy Emergency Management Director Charles Wallace doesn't want to see a repeat.
It just kind of sat here fora while, so they did knowit was here but they didn't' know how bad it was until they started getting other reports from people saying, wait a minute, they are getting hammered over there.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Serviceare putting up the radar, which is under construction now.The actual radarmachineryis currently at a NOAA facility in Norman, Oklahoma where the lightly used training radar is being upgraded with the latest dual-polarization technology, which will convert it intoone of the most advanced weather radar's in the country.
The dual-polarization will help forecasters better distinguish between what is rain, and what is snow, which could have a major impact on flood forecasting in theOlympic Mountains, says Brad Colman, the meteorologist in charge for the Seattle forecast office.
But it won't just benefit Seattle, said William Schneider, the Science and Operations Officer for the National Weather Service in Portland, Oregon.He points out that the radar near Portland has some blockage issues as well, but both Portland and Camano are well inland.The new coastal radar will extend meteorologists ability to see 100 miles or more out to sea.
The radar is expected to be on line by late September, plenty of time to warn us of impending Pacific storms.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
The Weeping Meadow shares the awed sense of solemn apocalypse with his signature films, but it's lighter, more musical and folktale-ish. The story is never fed to us pre-chewed, but instead occurs continuously on- and off-camera, passing before us like the steam engines that incessantly interrupt scenes. It's 1919, and a crowd of émigré Greeks returns from the nightmare of Odessa (walking from the edge of the sea toward the camera, in overcoats); among them, a family with one son brings a young orphan girl, Eleni. Years pass in an unceremonious cut; a near-comatose teenage Eleni is brought home after having given up illegitimate twins. Another cut and the young woman (Alexandra Aidini) is fleeing her own weddingbride not to the grown son Alexis (Nikos Poursanidis), who loves her and helps her escape, but her old step-father (Vassilis Kolovos). Eventually, the tale morphs from a romance to an arc of feminine subjugation.
Literally trailing after these scrambling souls as they follow each other into the crossfire of the mid-century, Angelopoulos's hold-your-breath mise-en-scéne and elliptical mode keep the mad tragic-Greek drama at a chilling, dreamy distance. You can read an ironic objectivity into this contrast, but Angelopoulos is extravagantly earnest, whether his lovers are boarding yet another boat after their village is swallowed by a flood or discovering a tree trimmed with lynched sheep carcasses. (As always with Angelopoulos, the semi-surreal visions are not post-production effects.) The ordinary construct of intimacy is swapped, profitably, for a sense of fluid anima, as in an uncut, nine-minute scene that begins with an impromptu beer-hall dance and climaxes with a death. It's Homeric filmmaking, uniquely worthy of the word.

Curiosity Rover Sees Solar Eclipse On Mars 46
from the differenet-view dept.
I don't know where the submitter or editor got his/her eclipse frequency info, but the chances of an eclipse occuring are equal for both hemispheres. If you look at a specific short enough time span, it may appear to favor one hemisphere over another, but the eclipse geometry is symmetrical. There are times that a total eclipse vs. an annular eclipse will favor one hemisphere over another because the distance of the earth from the sun varies, but over any reasonable time scale this will all average out.
Actually, it does, depending upon whose style manual you are using. In some style manuals, proper names ending with a single "s" take the possessive as "s'" and not "s's" for reasons of euphony; but in all style manuals, proper names ending with a double "ss" take the possessive as "ss's."
It is not well to be thought of as one who meekly submits to insolence and intimidation.

Jasper Jones
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (August 2010)
Jasper Jones is a 2009 novel by Fremantle-based writer Craig Silvey. It has won and been shortlisted for several major awards, and in 2012 was selected by the University of Canberra as its inaugural UC Book of the Year for 2013.
|This section requires expansion. (March 2013)
Protagonist Charlie Bucktin is a thirteen-year-old boy living in the rural fictional mining town of Corrigan in Western Australia. His character reflects that he is somewhat socially awkward, being uncoordinated in a town that places high value in sporting ability. He is a relatively intelligent boy – a trait which causes other students to resent him. His best friend is Jeffrey Lu, a Vietnamese boy who, along with his parents, experiences racial discrimination throughout the novel. On a summer evening in 1965, Charlie has a late night unexpected visit by fourteen-year-old Jasper Jones, an outcast in Corrigan due to his mixed White-Aboriginal heritage and rebellious lifestyle. Jasper takes Charlie to his secret glade in the bush where Charlie finds the shire president's daughter, Laura Wishart, hanging from a branch. Jasper explains to Charlie that Laura and him were close and that he suspects that Mad Jack Lionel of killing Laura and asks Charlie to assist him in proving Lionel guilty.
Charlie Bucktin: The thirteen-year-old-protagonist and narrator of the novel. He is intellectual rather than athletic. This makes him somewhat of an outsider in Corrigan, where sporting ability is highly valued. He aspires to become a writer in the future, and reads notable books during the course of the novel, including Pudd'nhead Wilson and To Kill A Mockingbird. These books are the source of much of Charlie's inspiration and guidance. Atticus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird is a father figure whom Charlie looks up to for support and encouragement when times get difficult in the struggle of Jasper's tangled web which Charlie is an unwilling witness to.
Jasper Jones: Half Aboriginal and half white, Jasper is an outcast in Corrigan. He is fourteen, but Charlie states that Jasper looks much older. He is the town's scapegoat, and the first name to be blamed for any kind of trouble. He hence has a bad reputation, but often is blamed for crimes he does not commit. Jasper's father is physically abusive and suffers from an addiction to alcohol. This prompts Jasper to steal for food, as there is no money left in the house. Jasper's mother died when he was young, and Jasper tells Charlie he does not remember anything about her. Jasper regularly smokes cigarettes and drinks alcohol.
Eliza Wishart: Charlie's romantic interest, Eliza is described as intelligent and slightly resembling Audrey Hepburn. She is the younger sister of Laura Wishart.
Laura Wishart: Eliza's older sister and Jasper Jones' love interest.
Jeffrey Lu: Charlie's best friend. He is a year younger than Charlie but has skipped a year in school because of his intellect. Charlie admits that Jeffrey is smarter than he is. Because of his Vietnamese heritage, Jeffrey often experiences racial discrimination. However Charlie describes him as unflappable, and Jeffrey seemingly takes the abuse and prejudice in good humour.

don't get me wrong... there are some valid reasons for changing a benchmark to change dominance, but it should not be hardware related. IF a larger portion of games are using the more advanced shaders, 128bit color, etc, this is the reason to put it in the benchmark. Doom is coming out with the newest generation using many of these things that give the FX dominance.... so there are some valid reasons... but even dreaming that game takes 10% of the nations sales, it's methods should not get more than 10% dominance in the scoring. Even assuming the new Doom engine spreads out to many other games providing 25% market potential... it should not get more than that potential in the bench. Yes those numbers are high, I'm kind of exaggerating a bit, but the point is those are valid reasons to up the bench specifically to one side, but they should not extend beyond the market potential of those reasons. There are very strong DirectX 9 games that use the new shaders (half between Gf4 and Gf-FX), that should also have techniques demonstrated. Those, arguably, will cover most of the advanced gaming market BECAUSE they are not card specific.

Tiny Chinese enclave remakes gambling world, Vegas
"You won't find the triad names listed as the junket operators, but they are behind it, because who is it that can reach into China and enforce the debts, move the money? Only one kind of person can do that," said Vickers, who now runs a consulting company.
In the 1980s, state regulations, along with an FBI crackdown, helped push out the mob bosses who had taken refuge in the gambling world and usher in the industry's modern corporate era.
Today, states can impose fines or revoke licenses if any U.S. companies are found to have acted improperly in Macau. But except for rare instances like New Jersey's action against MGM, regulators have so far refrained from public action, preferring to wait until federal probes are complete.
Nevada's Burnett said that does not mean regulators are sitting idle. "A lot of what goes on is dialogue between the board and the companies that the public doesn't necessarily see," he said.
Conventional wisdom is that no U.S. companies will lose their licenses over the allegations, even if proven true. At worst, they could get fined, said Michael Paladino, an analyst at the credit rating agency Fitch. "They can handle that," he said, noting that the largest FCPA fine to date - imposed on German engineering giant Siemans A.G. for bribery - amounted to about $1 billion. That's less than one month's revenue for Sands.
The balance of power between casinos and regulators has shifted as gambling companies have achieved their own version of outsourcing, according to I. Nelson Rose, a professor at Whittier Law School in California who writes a blog called Gambling and the Law.
"Macau forced the casinos to see that they could become like other large U.S. corporations: Set up their plants and operations in other nations and make far more than they can being stuck just in Las Vegas," he said, speaking from his hotel room near Macau University, where he teaches a summer course.
Sands, Wynn and MGM have structured their China operations as subsidiaries that could eventually be spun off entirely.
In any case, public officials aren't exactly clamoring for investigations. Among the ranks of the unconcerned is former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, a one-time lawyer for mob figures. Sitting on an overstuffed green leather couch his living room, Goodman, whose wife is now mayor, said he doesn't worry about Macau because Americans are not paying attention to the murky allegations there.
"You ask people who Sheldon Adelson is, if 10 out of 50 recognize the name, I'd be surprised. If they associated him with the Venetian and the Palazzo, I'd be even more surprised. People are busy," he said.
Of course, within the industry, Adelson is an object of fascination. As the Sands chief appeared in court this spring, a former rival, Phil Satre, who headed Harrah's Entertainment, followed the coverage from his home in Reno. Harrah's, the nation's largest casinos company when Satre stepped down in the early 2000s, was later renamed Caesars Entertainment Corporation.

Steven Kampfer out at least two weeks with knee injury
|04.11.11 at 12:45 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said in Monday's conference call that rookie defenseman Steven Kampfer will be out for at least two weeks after sustaining a knee injury while playing for Providence on Saturday. Kampfer left the contest vs. Springfield after trying to return to the ice for another shift.
"Steven injured his knee and is going to be evaluated in the next couple of days," Chiarelli said. "My guess is he'll be gone for at least two weeks."
Kampfer played in 38 games for Boston this season, but figured to be a healthy scratch in the playoffs given that he played just once (March 31) following a rough game in Nashville in which a defensive lapse and a penalty in overtime played a major role in the Predators' come-from-behind win over the B's. He was sent to Providence on April 6 to get more game action.
With Kampfer out for at least the first round of the playoffs, Shane Hnidy is clearly the first defenseman the B's would go to in case of injury, though Chiarelli stressed that the B's have options should they suffer more injuries on the blue line.
"We've got depth beyond that in [Matt] Bartkowski, [Andrew] Bodnarchuk and [Colby] Cohen. We've got some players that can fill in," Chiarelli said. "Obviously, it's a blow to our depth, but from what I'm told, it's not that bad. I can't give you an exact time frame, but I now it's at least two weeks."
Kampfer, 22, totaled five goals and five assists for 10 points with Boston in the regular season.
On the subject of depth, Chiarelli noted that goaltender Anton Khudobin will be among 10 or so Black Aces the B's will be able to use for depth purposes. Zach Hamill is also in that group.

Saturday Night Live kicked off its new season by getting on the Breaking Bad bandwagon.
Bad's Aaron Paul made a surprise appearance, in character as Jesse Pinkman "from New Mexico," and helped President Barack Obama explain how the Affordable Care Act would have helped his good friend.
"I had this friend and he got sick. Like, cancer sick. But because there wasn't Obamacare, he couldn't afford treatments. So he was like, backed into a corner," Paul, as Pinkman said.
"And keep in mind – this man was a teacher with a family," interjected Obama, played perfectly, as always, by Jay Pharoah.
PHOTOS: Who's Who Of Hollywood Shows Up To Vanity Fair Party
"So, he did what any of us would have done. He started cooking meth. And soon it wasn't just meth. It was murder. And not regular murder. Like-he blew half a guy's face off."
Pinkman then offered to tell everyone what happened to his friend.
Did he do it? You'll have to watch the clip here to find out!

The Breaking Bad series finale is Sunday night and fans are in a frenzy. There are viewing parties at bars and clubs all over the country and even screenings in theaters.

2009 Outlook
Junior Cruz Barrett will enter fall camp looking to make a bid for playing time on a deep and talented Nebraska offensive line. The 6-4, 310-pound Barrett has spent the majority of his career working as an offensive guard, but he also tried his hand at center during spring ball. The Florida native will look to make an impact in 2009, after spending the first portion of his career as a valuable member of the scout team unit.
Barrett has worked as a reserve offensive lineman each of the past two seasons, but has not appeared in a game. He sat out as a redshirt in his first season at Nebraska in 2006.
Before Nebraska (Mainland HS)
Barrett was a two-year starter for Coach John Maronto at Mainland, which finished 8-3 in 2005 in Florida's second-largest classification. Mainland boasts more than 40 current players in college football at all levels. Barrett was listed on the Tallahassee Democrat's Sunshine 75 and ranked among the top 60 players in the state of Florida by Rivals.com, which also listed him among the top 40 offensive guard prospects in the country. PrepStar placed Barrett on its All-Southeast region team, and he was ranked among the SuperPrep Florida Top 96. He also played basketball for Mainland. Barrett received scholarship offers from Florida, Florida State, North Carolina, Oklahoma and West Virginia. NU scholarship freshman recruit Antonio Bell was a teammate of Barrett's at Mainland.
Born on April 30, 1988, Barrett lives with his guardians Rufus and Janice Wilson. He is majoring in sociology and is a two-time member of the Big 12 Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll. He has been a regular volunteer as part of Nebraska's team hospital visits.

The Act has three components that support and enhance paralysis research, rehabilitation, and quality of life programs:
- Paralysis Research – Expands research on paralysis at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This will encourage collaborative research by connecting scientists conducting similar work to further enhance understanding and speed discovery of better treatments and cures.
- Paralysis Rehabilitation and Care – Builds on research to enhance daily function for people with paralysis, including a Clinical Trials Network, to measure effectiveness of certain rehabilitation tactics and encouraging shared findings on paralysis to improve rehabilitation.
- Improving Quality of Life for Persons with Paralysis and Other Physical Disabilities – Works with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to improve the quality of life and long-term health status of persons with paralysis and other physical disabilities.
About the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation

The results of a recent peer-reviewed study conducted by Humana Inc. and Wisconsin Health Information Exchange (WHIE), a long-time Amalga customer, are both exciting and important.
They're exciting because the results begin to prove what many people involved with health information exchanges have long theorized – that providing a more complete view of a patient's medical history at the point of care helps doctors make more informed decisions that can improve the quality of care while reducing waste. Humana and WHIE achieved an average cost savings of $29 per emergency department (ED) visit when doctors queried the WHIE for information about the patient's medical history upon registration. Redundant testing represents a huge strain on the healthcare system, and as the study demonstrates, can be reduced when ED clinicians have the right information at their fingertips. This degree of savings, if extrapolated across all of the emergency encounters in the country (120 million per year), could potentially yield $3.5 billion in savings annually. You can learn more about how these savings were achieved by reading a blog from Ed Barthell, MD, director, Microsoft Health Solutions Group.
The study results are important because they demonstrate the power of the public and private sector working together to drive greater efficiency and value in the healthcare system – by enabling an open, secure exchange of data. From the beginning, WHIE leaders recognized that the exchange needed to focus on the ends – rather than the means – of health information exchange: improved care of individual patients and data to support initiatives to provide better care across populations. WHIE implemented Amalga to support a regional data aggregation strategy as a core component of the solution – in contrast to many other HIEs that concentrate only on point-to-point messaging.
In addition, aligning innovation across health IT and business, WHIE and Humana were able to establish a symbiotic relationship that can serve as a model for state and community HIEs across the country – a model that benefits the payer, the provider, the patient, and the public. Specifically, WHIE and Humana have shown:
And, although it wasn't covered in this study, the WHIE also demonstrates how a community-based HIE can help protect populations by allowing the near real-time analysis of cohorts and the ability to identify trends and epidemics as they emerge.
Perhaps most important, the Humana and WHIE study presents a model of sustainability for HIEs. If payers can realize a greater than 2:1 return incenting hospitals to use health information exchange, as Humana has, there's reason to believe similar payer-provider partnerships can create sustainable HIEs across the country. And, imagine how much progress we could make on 'bending the cost curve' if we liberated the data across the entire system?
