Barring complex numbers and limiting ourselves to integers...

White seems to win in whichever way, provided it has the first move from that position.
If 1...Ne6 x d4, then 2 Nf7 and both d8 and h8 cannot be defended.
If 1...Ne6-g5 or d8, then 2 Nd4-c6 wins quickly.
If 1 ... Nf6-g4, or any other square, then 2 Nd4 x e6
If 1 ... Nd7-c5 (or to any other square), then 2 Nd4-c6
If 1 ... Nc7-anywhere, then again 2 Nd4 x e6 wins.
Obviously, the Knight on e7 cannot move, since it guards c8.
Also, 1 Nb4-a6 seems to win quickly.

Spoiler forEvery 60.4195804195804 deg both hands are aligned and cw. If a divider is used, 143 arc steps along the circle will point one of its arms to 360 deg..
I see, I mixed up the adavance of the hour hand with the elapsed time for each cycle. And I calculated period incorrectly for the second part in my previous post.
Still, after the corrections, I get a different answer. My hour and minute hands will meet a lot sooner.
Why rejecting the occurences where the clock hands meet at 12 in a mid-cycle?
I see nothing in the OP prohibiting that. In fact, the clock hands will meet again at 12 on a mid-cycle before they do so after a whole number of cycles.
1.The full cycle is (12/11 + 12/13 +2) = 574/143 hours elapsed time.
The hour hand advances (12/11+12/13) = 288/143 hours
After 143 such cycles, the hour hand advances 288 hours, which is divisible by 12. (288/12 = 24).
Elapsed time after 143 cycles is 574 hours. And, because the last step of the cycle the hour hand stayed put for exaclty one hour, there was a meeting at the same spot one hour prior. Thus after 573 hours from the start the hour and minute hand meet at the 12-hour mark.
2. The hour and minute hands also meet at exact hour mark after 65 full cycles plus 12/11 of an hour. (12/11 + 12/13 + 2)*65 + 12/11 = 132.
It so happens that 132 is also divisible by 12. 132/12 = 11
Thus the first meeting at 12 hour mark will take place exactly after (12/11 + 12/13 + 2)*65 + 12/11 = 262 hours. That is a lot sooner than 573 hours calculated in step 1.
All that is relatively easy to figure out using regular fractions and modular arithmetic. But it does not hurt to verify using the angles in degrees in decimals as calculated by TSLF.
The first step of the cycle the hour hand travels (12/11)*360/12 = 32.72(72).... degrees.
On the third cycle step, the hour hand travels (12/13)*360/12 = 27.69231... degrees.
Making the full cycle: 32.7272(72) + 27.692308 = 60.41958...
After 65 full cycles plus the first step of the next cycle the hour hand travels 60.41958.. * 65 + 32.7272(72) = 3960 (exactly). Which also happens to be divisible by 360. 3960 / 360 = 11.
And so all 12-hour mark meetings' elapsed times are as following:
262 + 574*n
263 + 574*n
573 + 574*n
574 + 574*n
The first meeting is after 262 hours.

Given the above, the formula is 2n - 3, as has been already noted.

Spoiler for had thought...this was an expected value problem with the expected number of rolls needed to get all six numbers equal to the sum of the expected number of rolls needed to get each new number. The average number of rolls to roll a new number being the inverse of the probability to roll a new number. So 14.7?
Yes. Simple concept that cuts thru all the computational complexity.
This concept, does not apply to the question in the OP. The problem called for finding the minimum number of rolls (or dice) to get a winning bet. A winning bet is one, where your probability of winning is better than 0.5. It is not the same concept as average number of rolls (dice) required to get to the objective.
A simple example:
If you roll repeatedly a fair dice, then any given number, say "1", will occur on average once in six rolls. However, if I bet on "1" coming up just after 4 rolls or sooner, I am going to come out ahead. (Same as rolling 4 dice and betting that at least one of them will roll "1".)
The answer to the problem as stated is like Sp and myself have found. I have another equation, which is not recursive, but encompasses all variations. It yields the same result. I'll make a separate post for it.
But of course you still get a winning bet with 14.7 rolls. Your winning chance is better than 60%, but it is not the minimum number of rolls.

I can get an answer, but no simple explanation. But that should do for everyday gambling needs.
Make a 6-column table for k=1 through 6. Populate the first row with 1,0,0,0,0,0. The second row with the formulas above. Then drag the formulas down.
I can't think at the moment of a simple formula instead of all that.

Spoiler for
That's right Prime they were all returned inside the coffee cups.
The trouble with testing the coins in slot machine is ..the proper coins can hit jackpots too.
Also the arcade owner is low on profit so every machine shall be coin operated.
I wouldn't classify winning with regular coins as "problem". Just take the winnings home and measure the remaining two coins at leisure using your own precision scale.
But if you insist on using the coin operated balance to the end...

It seems to stand the reason...

A finishing touch...
When you XOR all significant intervals and the result is zero, that is a key position, from which whoever moves must lose the game, provided the opponent plays correctly.
XOR is a binary operation defined as following:
0 xor 0 = 0
0 xor 1 = 1
1 xor 0 = 1
1 xor 1 = 0
Therefore, for ease of calculation convert all significant intervals to binary.
Significant intervals are defined as following:
Pair up neighboring coins starting with the rightmost one. For odd number of coins the leftmost coin must be paired with the left edge of the board. For example, 6 coins must be paired like so: .....c1-c2....c3-c4......c5-c6; whereas 5 coins must be paired: E-c1...c2-c3....c4-c5, where "E" is the edge of the board.
An interval between the coins of each pair is the number of vacant squares between them. It is called "significant interval" herein. For the leftmost coin (c1) the interval between it and the edge of the board (where applicable) is the number of vacant squares to the left of c1 plus one. However, in the case where the second coin (c2) is the gold coin, and the E-c1 interval is applicable (odd number of coins,) the interval E-c1 shall be just the number of vacant squares to the left of c1.
For example:
_ _ C ..... C _ _G.....C _ C, where the intervals (left to right) are: 3, 2, and 1 (losing on your move);
_ _ C ..... G _ _C.....C _ C, where the intervals (left to right) are: 2, 2, and 1 (must win on your move by moving the very last coin one space).
The intervals outside "pairs" don't matter.
Finally, I must note, there are no significant intervals when the gold coin is the first coin on the left. Just grab it!
The winning strategy is simple: just make sure that after your move all significant intervals XOR to zero. And if you cannot do that – don't bet money or valuables on the outcome.
1). Any terminal position, where your opponent has just one possible move, after which you take the gold coin, conforms to the zero XOR rule.
2). From any position not conforming to zero XOR, you can always obtain a conforming position with a single move.
3). From any position conforming to zero XOR, you can never obtain another conforming position with a single move.
The reason for constructing significant intervals starting with the rightmost coin is, that you cannot leave the last coin hang unpaired. If you did, then one could move it without affecting any significant intervals in violation of the point (3) of the proof above.
Armed with this knowledge, you could make a bet, whereby first your opponent sets up any position and then you choose who moves first.

I have enjoyed this problem. It looks like something original in the old family of weighting problems. The solution I found seems to be the only solution.
1, If S11 contains standard coins only, its side of the balance should always be lighter. That is because in that case W1 contains 2 doubly wrapped coins and the balance side of S11 + W2(1) can at most have one. Also, this is the only case when that side could be lighter because in the other cases S11 contains either 2 or 4 heavy coins. Thus when S11 + W2(1) is lighter, S11 must be all standard coins.
2. If S11 has 2 doubly wrapped coins then
a). to balance the scale W1 + W2(4) must have the remaining 2 heavy coins, which leaves W2(1) + W2(3) standard.
b). when S11 + W2(1) side is heavier, knowing that W1 contains 1 heavy coin, leaves W2(4) standard.
3. Finally, when S11 contains all 4 doubly wrapped coins making its side of balance heavier, we can safely pick W2(4) as a set of standard coins.
I am curious as to how this problem was constructed.

http://www.mattresskleen.com.au/ Consider your brand-new mattress and foundation as "sleep equipment" that needs to be cared for as a way to assure the very best hygiene and performance. It's important to follow mattress care instructions through the maker of your mattress as products vary greatly.
A good quality, washable mattress pad (then one for the box spring, too, if you like) is important to keep your set fresh, dry and free of stains. A waterproof pad is a great idea if you will find children or pets in the home.
Does your mattress must be cleaned? There are several techniques which is often used to remove stains whilst your mattress fresh.

This post is somewhat related to one I created recently around building flexibility in my body and strength in my core.
Over the last few 1-2 months, I'm feeling much better about my ability to have a strong leg position without getting tired. The stretching and tightness I used to feel in my legs and hamstrings is now almost a thing of the past. Yay!!
The next thing I need to work on is my lower back. I can ride until I'm blue in the face in my dressage tack with almost no problem. I can do the same in my jump tack. I can do gymnastic exercises, do courses, etc. almost indefinitely if I'm trotting in. However, when doing exercises at a canter in 2-point like the "circle of death", I know I have a certain amount of loops I can do before my back gets tight and I need to take a break. It's not that I can't continue because I can. What happens is when I start to get tired my lower back gets tight and my sensitive mare feels it and starts to fuss a bit. I usually find that a walk break helps immensely.
I'd like to build up my endurance so I can go a full lesson (~1 hour or so) without having to take breaks or get tight in my lower back.
What would be the most effective way of strengthening my lower back so it doesn't get tight when I'm spending a lot of time in 2-point? I think part of what I'm feeling is residual fatigue from some very intense private pilates classes I've taken recently. I think I have to back off on those and just do 15-20 min. on my own per day to start.
What exercises would be good for helping my lower back stay supple and not get so tired in 2-point?

Canada house prices dip 0.4 pct in Sept from Aug – Teranet
TORONTO, Oct 24 (Reuters) – Home prices dipped in September
from August and year-over-year price gains slowed for a 10th
straight month in another sign that Canada's housing market is
cooling, the Teranet-National Bank Composite House Price Index
showed on Wednesday.
The index, which measures price changes for repeat sales of
single-family homes, showed overall prices fell 0.4 percent in
September from a month earlier, the third September drop over
the past 13 years.
Canada slow to respond to cyber threats – auditor
Oct 23 (Reuters) – Canada's response to cyber threats has
been slow and incomplete, the federal Auditor General said in a
report on Tuesday that cited bad communication and part-time
monitoring as weaknesses in the nation's computer and
infrastructure security system.
The federal government has made limited progress in patching
cracks in the security of Canada's physical and information
technology network since a cyber attack crippled the Finance
Department and Treasury Board in 2011, Auditor General Michael
Ferguson said.
RBC seeks Latam, Asia asset management deals
TORONTO (Reuters) – The head of wealth management at Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Thursday the bank is seeking small to medium-sized acquisitions, particularly in Latin America and Asia, to build its equity capabilities in global asset management.
"We're very strong in North America, and globally in fixed income, so we are interested in strengthening our international equity capabilities with a particular focus on Latin America and Asia," RBC Wealth Management group head George Lewis told Reuters in an interview.
Canada strategists see investment angle as fleets age
Oct 16 (Reuters) – Strategists at two of Canada's top
independent wealth managers say the time may be right to invest

industrial equipment like rail cars, as aging fleets and
inventories spur a replacement cycle.
After a long consumer and corporate pullback, spending has
begun to bloom again on big-ticket purchases, offering
investment opportunities for Canadians looking to pump up

Canada home sales rise 2.5 pct in September from August
TORONTO, Oct 15 (Reuters) – Sales of existing homes in
Canada rose in September from August, notching the first monthly
gain since March, the Canadian Real Estate Association said on
Monday, but year-over-year sales dropped sharply in another sign
Canada's hot housing market is cooling.
The industry group for Canadian real estate agents said
sales activity was up 2.5 percent in September from August.
Actual sales for September, not seasonally adjusted, were down
15.1 percent from a year earlier.
Canada housing starts slow in September
TORONTO, Oct 9 (Reuters) – Canadian housing starts slowed in
September as multiple urban starts slumped, particularly in
Ontario, in line with expectations that housing construction
will ease as the year progresses, Canada Mortgage and Housing
Corp said on Tuesday.
The seasonally adjusted annualized rate of housing starts

TORONTO (Reuters) – Hall of Fame center Wayne Gretzky expressed optimism on Monday that the National Hockey League's (NHL) second lockout in eight years will be resolved in time for the showcase outdoor Winter Classic on New Year's Day.
Gretzky, who retired from the NHL in 1999 and remains the league's all-time points leader, said obstacles behind the labor dispute between owners and players should be quicker to overcome than the ones that forced the cancellation of the entire 2004-05 campaign.
After scams and slumps, wealth advisers try to rebuild trust
TORONTO (Reuters) – While big financial institutions lost the trust of investors with LIBOR scandals and mortgage meltdowns, financial advisers have seen the trust drain away for more personal reasons with faces attached: Bernie Madoff, Earl Jones, Allen Stanford.
The hangover of mistrust caused by high-profile Ponzi schemes, together with volatile markets and distrustful investors, has created a perfect storm of sidelined cash and financial advisers worried about their future.
Hockey's Gretzky preaches fiscal conservatism, shuns risks
TORONTO, Oct 1 (Reuters) – Retired hockey superstar Wayne
Gretzky says his father, Walter, not only taught him how to play
the game but also to be financially conservative, avoid debt and
put his money where it is safest: in the bank.
"My dad always told me: 'It could end tomorrow'," Gretzky
told reporters in Toronto on Monday as he touted retirement
planning for the wealth management arm of Toronto-Dominion Bank,
Canada's second-largest bank.

you guys got it all wrong. Snowballing is passing cum back and forth between two or more people's mouths. As it gets passed, the amount of saliva and cum gets larger and larger (or snowballs).

A few days ago, the Mayo Clinic released the results of a study on the relationship between burnout and ethics among students at seven medical schools across the country. The study's first result, which was not surprising, was that more than half of the students reported burnout. More surprising was its finding that 40% of 3rd and 4th year students admitted to "some form of unprofessional conduct in relation to patient care," such as saying they'd done an exam when, in fact, they hadn't.
Reprogramming the Ethics of Med Students
A recent Mayo Clinic study links burnout with unethical behavior. Medical schools should reorganize curricula to grapple with this issue.

I Am Humbled.
I had a Redbox movie I needed to return (Robin Hood, if you're wondering) and I needed to pick up a few things from the grocery store, so I decided to put on my old USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) ballcap and take advantage of the free breakfast for veterans at the local Maryville Hy-Vee Food Store.
When I walked into the store I saw the eating area fuller than I had ever seen it. There were even tables set up outside the seating area for overflow customers.
Before I could make a move towards the cashier, legendary store greeter (and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist), Fred Mares, asked me, "Are you a veteran?"
"Thank you for your service."
"My pleasure."
He slapped my on my shoulder and said, "That's the spirit, brother! Go get some breakfast."
I approached the cashier and she asked if I was a veteran and after I said yes, asked if I wanted coffee or a regular drink. I opted for coffee.
After getting my food, I heard clapping from the seating area. Fred was there, looking for the oldest veteran in the room. He found an 88 year old vet enjoying his food and everyone honored him with their applause.
After sitting down at one of the few empty tables, I said my prayers, thanking God not only for the food I was about to eat, but for the lives of all the great men and women surrounding me and those who were still serving around the world.
Between bites I looked around. At 38, I was the youngest vet in the room. There were so many stories in that room, and I knew that these men and women had seen things worth honoring. They had seen battle in foreign countries. Places like Incheon, Da Nang and Omaha Beach.
Knowing that the bulk of my service involved programming and watching television and complaining when the air conditioning went out for preventive maintenance, I wondered if I even belonged in the same room as some of these folks.
It was, and is, humbling to be part of such an honorable and elite group.
God bless the veterans of the American military, and keep the men and women still serving.

In 2007, author William Gibson wrote the phrase the "Cold Civil War†for one of his science fiction novels.

Minimal Techno
Minimal techno is a form of electronic dance music (EDM) that is considered a minimalist sub-genre of techno. It is characterized by a stripped-down aesthetic that exploits the use of repetition, and understated development. This style of dance music production generally adheres to the motto less is more; a principle that has been previously utilized, to great effect, in architecture, design, visual art, and Western art music.

Social Security Administration:
Better Planning Needed to Improve Service Delivery
GAO-10-586T: Published: Apr 15, 2010. Publicly Released: Apr 15, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5491
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Millions of people rely on the services of Social Security Administration (SSA) field offices. In fiscal year 2009, SSA's approximately 1,300 field offices provided service to a record 45.1 million customers. People visit field offices to apply for Social Security cards, apply for retirement and disability benefits, request replacement benefit checks, and a host of other services. Over the last several years, growing workloads have challenged field offices' ability to manage work while continuing to deliver quality customer service. The Subcommittee asked GAO to discuss our January 2009 report on SSA field office service delivery challenges. Specifically, this testimony will discuss (1) the state of SSA field office operations, and (2) the status of SSA's efforts to develop a plan to address future service delivery challenges. To respond to the request, GAO relied primarily on the January 2009 report titled Social Security Administration: Service Delivery Plan Needed to Address Baby Boom Retirement Challenges (GAO-09-24, Jan. 2009), and updated it with additional information provided by SSA. In that report, GAO recommended that SSA develop a service delivery plan that explains how it will deliver quality service while managing growing work demands. SSA agreed to develop a document that describes service delivery and staffing plans. No new recommendations are being made in this testimony.
Since we last examined service at SSA field offices, SSA has expanded the level of staffing, and encouraged greater use of automated services. However, rapidly rising workloads have adversely affected customer service and the quality of some work, despite SSA's efforts. Recent hiring by SSA nearly restored field offices to their fiscal year 2005 level, but field offices have experienced rapid growth in their retirement and disability claims workloads. SSA used various strategies to manage the growing workload, including deferring some reviews of beneficiaries' continuing eligibility. However, deferring these reviews means that beneficiaries who no longer qualify for benefits may still receive payments erroneously. Key customer service indicators were also affected. In fiscal year 2009, more than 3 million customers waited over 1 hour to be served. Further, SSA's Field Office Caller Survey found that 58 percent of customers calling selected field offices had at least one earlier call that had gone unanswered, but for methodological reasons, the unanswered call rate was likely even higher. SSA has not yet offered a plan to detail how it will address future service delivery challenges as GAO recommended in January 2009. With projected increases to SSA's workload from retirement and disability filings from the nation's baby boom generation, and a continued wave of retirements of experienced staff, the need for such a plan is greater than ever. SSA estimates about a 14 percent rise in Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, Disability Insurance (Disability), and Supplemental Security Income claims over the next 10 years, rising from a combined total of 9.4 million, in fiscal year 2008 to 10.7 million in fiscal year 2017. In addition, based on SSA's projections, 41 percent of the current workforce will retire by fiscal year 2018. With such challenges, it is critical for SSA to develop a plan to discuss how it will address future challenges. SSA officials did not provide GAO with an update on where the agency stood in developing such a plan.

US to relieve Egypt of up to $1 billion debt as Saudi is gives aid in soft loans, grants and Cbank funds. Egypt expects a 4 per cent GDP rise.
May 23, 2011 2:38 by Reuters
A $4 billion aid package Saudi Arabia has pledged to Egypt will include a $1 billion deposit at the Central Bank of Egypt and $500 million in bond purchases, al-Ahram newspaper quoted a Saudi official on Sunday as saying.
The package, which Egypt announced on Sunday, is designed to to support the country's cash-strapped economy in the wake of the upheaval that ousted President Hosni Mubarak on Feb. 11.
The turmoil has caused tourism and investor revenue to dry up at a time when high popular expectations have increased the pressure on the budget.
Egypt has been asking donors and the International Monetary Fund to help bridge an estimated at $10-12 billion funding gap for the financial year that begins on July 1, economists say.
The $1 billion central bank deposit would be based on arrangements agreed upon by the Saudi and Egyptian central banks, Al-Ahram quoted Saudi ambassador to Cairo Ahmed bin Abdulaziz Kattan as saying.
Since the beginning of the year, Egypt's central bank has drawn down its net international reserves by $6 billion to finance a balance of payments gap exasperated by the political turmoil. Reserves now stand at $28 billion, equal to an import cover of about 4.5 months, according to economists. Kattan said the package would also include $500 million for general budget support amd a $500 million soft loan.
Yet another part of the package would be contain $500 million in soft loans for development programmes from the Saudi Fund for Development and a grant of $200 million to be placed with the fund or in a current account to finance projects such as small and medium-sized enterprises.
The newspaper did not spell out the what the preferential terms of the soft loans would be.
Another $750 million would be extended as a line of credit to finance Saudi exports to Egypt, Al-Ahram cited Kattan as saying.
Egyptian finance minister Samir Radwan said on Thursday he expected gross domestic product would grow 3-4 percent in fiscal year 2011/12.
U.S. President Barack Obama said in a speech on Thursday he would relieve Egypt of up to $1 billion in debt and guarantee another $1 billion in borrowing to finance infrastructure and job creation.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development said on Saturday it would explore how to direct funds to Egypt and other Arab states in the same way it supported communist states after the fall of the iron curtain more than two decades ago.
Officials have said lending to Egypt could start at around 100-200 million euros ($145-$290 million). An EBRD spokesman said a team would go there in the next few weeks to identify infrastructure, agriculture and other potential projects. (Reporting by Patrick Werr; Editing by Dan Lalor)

NLS Time (ET) NLS Price NLS Share Volume12:06:27 $ 4.245 629,800Read more: http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/NLStrades.aspx?&symbol=CRIS&selected=CRIS&time=6#ixzz1Ke905VsH
desert --This is as about as fun as it gets ... except that the anticipation of the start of another trading day which will likely bring another new high sometimes causes sleep loss!As I've stated before, CRIS has broken to a new 5-year high here, so this is little chart resistance to speak of. Other TA aficionados may look for a resistance level in the period of 2004-5 when CRIS traded virtually all of that time in the $3.50-$6 range, but with a low-priced biotech I really discount the impact of what occurred 5-7 years ago.I will suggest that the $5 level often serves as an upward resistance level for small stocks. The question will be 'how much' if we simply trend higher towards that level until ASCO without other news. On the support side, old resistance is new support, so $4.35 would be it assuming we set a nice new high tomorrow.Enjoying every moment of this.good luck -ace
One thing I'm pretty sure of, this has NOTHING to do with the earnings call scheduled. (I predict they won't have made any money again.) Their future earnings potential is what this is about, or possibly the vaunted take-over some have predicted...
Odd, another 629,800 share trade today @ 10:16:09 between the bid and ask @ 4.235
Funny thing is, that 644K trade didn't even move the scales much.
may have been a pre-arranged transaction, as when an institution has used a trader to do the work of accumulating shares over a period of time, then transfers to the tute.
Can anyone explain this?
Well, see, it's 629,800 shares, and someone traded them. I call it a 629,800 share trade. Just give me an F and move on...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4XSgLMEFoc

35 year old man | Houston, TX, USA | Seeking women 24-34 within 25 miles
Active within 24 hours
Is it just me, or is everyone looking at us?!
Brand new to Houston! I spent this last year in Austin, but I decided moving here was best for a better work/life balance. And I'm a big city boy, I think Houston's going to be a better fit! I am a recent transplant of Chicago, with short stops in NC and FL to come down here for my new career. I never thought I'd leave Chicago, but the urge to travel hit me. In NC, honestly, I expected nothing. In FL, Naples to be exact, I was warned-repeatedly-to find only old people. Luckily, that wasn't nearly as true as they think! Fun place and I'll always miss it. However, I did see an old lady take a left hand turn into oncoming traffic on I-75, so there may be some truth to the rumors. I feel like i'm pretty outgoing, I love to laugh, and to get out and enjoy where i'm living. This seems like the perfect place for all of that. by the way, so sorry for these cheesy photos, I'm a guy, so i'm never really trying to take pics! I got most of these from my little sister. I asked her to send the ones of me saving kittens, volunteering during Sandy, and skydiving, but this is all she could find. plus I've never done those things. but the internet is a crazy thing, it might be out there somewhere...

Roadside report: Anticipation comes in many different forms: nervous, expectant, pressured, feared. The first Saturday in July 2015 sees dreams fulfilled for some, the next obvious step taken by others, and for a select few the seemingly impossible coming true.
The 2015 Tour de France is a matter of only 20 days away, but Ed Hood, our most experienced Grand Tour follower, is thinking back to the first of his ten 'accredited' Tours. The 2006 Tour was an up and down affair, it was scandal riddled and the Landis Tour of '06 will go down in history as one of the worst.
When looking back at the 2015 Giro d'Italia it's hard to think of any negatives. The only 'what if' would be Landa being told to wait for Fabio Aru in a Froome/Wiggins sort of way. Ed and Martin are back home in Scotland and 'happy' to be at their day jobs, so we asked them for the 'Top 12' best things Giro.
PEZ Roadside St.21: It's the end of the Giro d'Italia road for the riders and for Ed and Martin. The adventurous pair were in amongst everything in Milano, roadside, backstage, at the busses and as near the finish line and podium as they could get. It's the last day of school in Milan.
And to think, this morning started so well... We've been in them all; the hotel from The Shining, leaks, no heating, no hot water, no breakfast, no wi-fi... But last night... "Majestic" by name, majestic by nature, back to a time when hotel staff didn't wear Korn T-shirts and call you; 'mate.'
After missing out on the Mortirolo yesterday, Ed and Martin made point of soaking up the atmosphere at the start in Tirano, before shooting off towards Switzerland. But everyone is still talking about Alberto and the Mortirolo and the guys were taking it all in.
Ed Hood and Martin Williamson have hit the Italian soil running, only in the country for a handful of hours and they have sorted their creds, seen tomorrow's route, inspected the bikes and sent us the first words and photos. The productive pair will be on the Mortirolo tomorrow, here is the story so far:
Today Alessandro took the Giro d'Italia route as far south as it goes this year. He passed through many different regions to catch the race, the people, the villages and the atmosphere of the biggest bike race in Italy. But you can't go to the South without trying the pizza!
Our man in Italy, Alessandro Federico, is addicted to chasing bike races, he just can't stop. To help him with his 'problem' we sent him to three stages of Tirreno-Adriatico, this should get him to the week-end and his next fix with Milan-Sanremo. Hit the road Ale!
One of the most beautiful races of the year is without a doubt the Strade Bianche on the now mythical white gravel roads. Following the race and capturing all the action and beauty of this race roadside for Pez was our experienced race chaser Alessandro who filed this story after a perfect day out in the Tuscan countryside.
Roadside St.1: Mark Cavendish was screaming when he wheeled past me. An animal roar of pain, disappointment, frustration and anger. Once again, home soil has not been a happy place for Cav when the biggest prizes are on the line. All the Yorkshire excitement Roadside with PEZ man Gordan Cameron.
Roadside Report: Joking with a former Paris-Roubaix winner, chatting with current stars of the sport and mixing in the VIP area with podium girls and other lucky fans - Lee Rodgers certainly had a great day out at Wednesday's Scheldeprijs. For the race end Lee was at the finishline under sunny skies sipping a cool drink and munching on free food. Could life as a bike fan get any better than this?
Roadside Report: High speed race chasing, VIP access, Flanders Strongmen, crazy bike fans and some Belgian beer added up to a Tour of Flanders 2014 experience that Lee Rodgers will never forget. Ride along with Lee and the Velo Classic Tour group roadside at the mighty Ronde.
Roadside Report: After the snow of last year's race chase, this year saw our man Alessandro deal with the cold, driving rain and wind. Still he wouldn't have dreamed of being anywhere else on Sunday but chasing the great Primavera again, roadside with friends for a perfect day out.
Roadside Report: Being roadside at the Strade Bianche is one of the best cycling spectating experiences you could possibly do. Our man in Italy Alessandro is an expert of the gravel roads of Tuscany and today he takes us inside his day out at Saturday's big race from what is arguably the Pro Cycling Calendar's prettiest race of the year.
Roadside Report: Alpe d'Huez is a mythical mountain, a grand beast that conjures up images of battles past with its 21 hairpin bends and its leg sapping slopes. I've been roadside on the Alpe during the Tour de France on a few occasions including the famous mountain time trial in 2004 but I'd never seen the mountain roadside in the Dauphiné. That had to change!
Roadside: Under the sunny Alpine skies PEZ was roadside in La Léchère this morning where we were able to catch up with Chris Froome, Richie Porte and all the stars of the Dauphiné at the start of Stage 6.

|Complaints Against Birkett Deserve to Be Heard
|Commentary/Politics - Illinois Politics
|Tuesday, 17 September 2002 18:00
For years, Carrie Gammell has been trying to convince a disinterested press corps to cover her battle with the DuPage County powers-that-be. And for years she's been ignored, and often called a head case.
Never mind that she can back up much of what she says with reams of documentation.
She comes off in person as someone who is just a bit too eager to exact revenge on her enemies. And she has the countenance of a pit bull who's been in too many fights but has no intention of ever quitting.
Still, though, Gammell's side of the story should be heard, because it appears to be a microcosm of what is wrong with the DuPage County state's attorney's office. And since the current DuPage state's attorney, Joe Birkett, is now running for Illinois attorney general, these problems could conceivably continue at a much higher level.
I told you about Carrie Gammell last week. She was the woman who was married to Joe Birkett's former campaign manager, Terry Ekl. As I told you before, Birkett's office declared a conflict of interest rather than help Gammell increase her child support payments from Ekl.
But there are things I didn't tell you because I didn't find out about them until after the column ran. Dark, private things that I'd rather not have known.
Like when Ekl allegedly physically attacked her so forcefully that she had to go to the hospital. And how Ekl was never charged with a crime after a top employee of the state's attorney's office and a local police chief allegedly talked Gammell out of filing a formal complaint while she sat in the emergency room, covered in blood. Ekl claims to this day that he meant to throw the object at a wall, hitting her by mistake.
Then there was the letter Ekl sent to her on "Joe Birkett for State's Attorney" campaign stationery, scolding her for disagreeing with him about weekend custody with their son. I'm sure Ekl didn't mean to intimidate her by using the letterhead of their county's next chief prosecutor – and one of his best friends. It was probably the only paper that was handy.
Ekl was, and still is, an extremely connected man in DuPage legal circles. If anyone I know ever gets into trouble in that county, I won't hesitate to recommend that they retain Terry Ekl. Still, he didn't always win his battles with his ex-wife.
For instance, she was able to successfully file an order of protection against him several weeks after the incident that sent her to the hospital.
But when she claimed he was making harassing phone calls, the state's attorney's office did nothing. When Ekl complained about harassing calls from her, she was arrested, hauled into court, convicted on one count, and given six months probation. There was no conflict of interest for the state's attorney's office that time.
She tried to move one of her cases out of DuPage, claiming that her husband was so connected she could not receive a fair trial. Her request was denied.
There's more, but that's enough for now. My advice to her was to get her and her son out of DuPage, but she's too stubborn to quit, her son loves his school, and she's convinced that Ekl cheated her out of big-time money in their divorce.
We can often judge how candidates will behave in office by looking at the type of folks they hang out with. George Ryan's motley collection of shady friends should have set off a lot more alarm bells four years ago. Jim Ryan is preparing to slam Rod Blagojevich for some of the unsavory characters he is connected with.
So, what does it say about Joe Birkett that he would keep a guy like Terry Ekl around? Ekl is, by various accounts, one of Birkett's closest advisers.
A few weeks ago, a woman whose husband tried to murder her complained that Birkett's office had bullied her into agreeing to a ridiculously light jail sentence. The husband was represented by one of Birkett's campaign contributors.
Birkett's office claimed the woman was mistaken. But the more stories I hear, the more I'm starting to think that maybe there's something truly wrong with the way Birkett's shop is run.
It's not just the good ol' boys looking out for each other. It's the good ol' boys making sure the women don't win.

Yet another piece of Mississippi athletic lore found a home in Starkville Wednesday afternoon.
Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum received a replica of a Bailey Howell Award to display amid its exhibit dedicated to the former Mississippi State and National Basketball Association hardwood star.

The city of Starkville and its baseball association got a good rating from participants of the Dizzy Dean 8-year-old South State Tournament for how it ran the event Saturday through Tuesday.
Except for Mother Nature deciding to rain on everyone's parade on Friday, the State Tournament went off without much incident.
Hunter Renfroe's window of opportunity opened big time following a stellar junior season at Mississippi State.
The right fielder was taken with the 13th overall pick by the San Diego Padres in last month's First-Year Player draft.
It has been nearly a month since he was drafted, but no deal had been struck during that time until this week.
Picture a baseball field full of cheers, a sky full of fireworks and boys with trophies in hand and that was exactly the scene Tuesday at McKee Park.
After defeating Mathiston 11-6, the Starkville American 8-year-old All-Stars captured the Dizzy Dean South State Championship.
The Mathiston Mad Dawgs may not have walked away with the first-place trophy at the 8-year-old Dizzy Dean South State Tournament, but gained respect from all who watched them play.
After losing a tough 3-2 decision to the Starkville Americans on Sunday, the Mad Dawgs battled their way back to the championship game and earned a rematch.
The future of baseball in this area looks bright.
While observing the final game of the Dizzy Dean 8-year-old South State Tournament on Tuesday, it became obvious that there are some pretty talented players emerging from the younger pool locally.
COLUMBUS – The ride is over for the 12-year-old Starkville All-Stars.
On Tuesday, the team took the field against Louisville in an effort to play its way back into the Dizzy Dean State championship game, but was unsuccessful as it lost 15-3.
WINONA – It was a long day of Dizzy Dean competition on Monday for the Starkville 10-year-old All-Stars. After a rain delay in game one, the team did not see action end until around 10 p.m.
In game one, the team defeated Winona 27-11 and it would seem Starkville was on its way to breaking out of the loser's bracket and into the championship series, but it just was not meant to be.
Only one win stands between the Starkville Americans 8-year-olds and the Dizzy Dean South State Championship.
Charlie Williamson knows how important that statement is, but being so young he says it might take a little while for it to sink in for his team.
COLUMBUS – Monday was not the best of days for the Starkville 12-year-old all-star team. With the team only needing one win to put them in the Dizzy Dean championship game, Starkville lost a heartbreaker to Columbus 11-1.
