The internet has changed how people consume media. Rather than just watching television and movies, the combination of ubiquitous mobile devices, massive computation, and available internet bandwidth has led to an explosion in user-created content: users are recreating the internet, producing exabytes of content every day.
Periscope, a mobile application that lets users broadcast video to followers has 10 million users who broadcast over 40 years of video per day. Twitch, a popular game broadcasting service, revealed last month that 1.7 million users have live-streamed 7.5 billion minutes of content. China's biggest search engine, Baidu, processes 6 billion queries per day, and 10% of those queries use speech. About 300 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute. And just last week, Mark Zuckerberg shared that Facebook users view 8 billion videos every day—a number that has grown by a factor of 8 in about a year.
This massive scale of content requires massive amounts of processing, and due to the volume of media content involved, data center workloads are changing. Increasing resources are spent on video and image processing, resizing, transcoding, filtering and enhancement. Likewise, large-scale machine learning and deep learning techniques apply trained models to what's known as "inference", which applies trained models to tasks such as image classification, object detection, machine translation, and speech recognition.

Ok, it was only 45 miles apparently, but was listed as a 50 mile course.There were a couple of other BF members who rode this route a week ago. They convinced me I could do it. I happen to meet another BF member who offered to ride with me. Since I had a riding partner I was committed to doing the ride.
We finished in about 3 hours. It was a milestone in my riding. Some might suggest I should have done another 5 miles to get to my 50. I will be honest the last two miles my thighs were hurting and I don't think I could have eecked out another 5. The last 15 miles seemed to have some grade to them. My legs were doing fine until the end, then they started burning like if I was climbing a hill, but there wasn't any recovery when I got a break. I stretched after the ride and then when I got home again. After showering they feel fine
I learned I need to make some small adjustments to my bike. One of my knees was a little sore and the foot on that side was also sore, I think I need to figure out how to adjust my pedals.
But overall I'm glad I did it. I will let you know tomorrow for sure

I'm 5w5d with my first and I have a temp of 99.9. Of course I'm worried! :) I have my first pre natal visit on Tuesday...I can't wait to see the doc and hear good news and that all my symptoms are normal!!!!
Anyone else?
Do you have any other symptoms of illness other than a fever? That isn't a very high fever, BUT if it is making your nervous take two tylenol.

i would personally call the er. because you dont want your temp reach between 100.0 - 104.0. you might have a cold or something but if i were you i would call an er nurse tell them your pregnant and have a fever of 99.9 and need to know what precautions you should take. if not take a cold shower to try and bring down your temp.
i asked my dh who is a med student. you're probably fine. The cutoff for fever is usually 101.5ish. Also, it might depend on what time of day you took your temp. Late afternoon/early evening you have the highest temp of the day. And some people naturally run a little higher than 98.9. If you aren't having any other symptoms I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe just drink extra water. I'm sure your doc will take your temp at your appt.
baby #1, EDD 1/29/12!, married 7/5/08
I would say the gassiness is just part or making a baby, the BM could be part of that, but it is hard to be certain. Honestly, unless you really feel something is amiss, I would try to ride it out. Tempid showers, LOTS of water, and maybe some tylenol if needed. If your temp spikes tonight, I would call someone first thing in the AM.

not a fever. that would be 100.4.
you are ok. but if you're worried call your doc

The 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-in offers a genuine advantage over the standard Prius with its ability to go up to 15 miles on pure electric power alone. It costs more, though, and some rival plug-in hybrids might prove more appealing overall.
Plug-in capability on top of the Prius' already exceptional fuel economy; abundant backseat room; spacious cargo area; comfortable ride.
Considerably more expensive than the regular Prius; disappointing interior materials; slow acceleration; awkward driving position for some; minimal federal tax credit.
For 2014, the Toyota Prius Plug-in hybrid is unchanged apart from a price drop. The base trim level's price gets chopped by about $2,000 without losing any standard features, while the Advanced trim's discount is more than twice that. However, the latter's effective adjustment is actually the same two grand, given that some formerly standard features have moved over to an option package.
Have you ever driven a Toyota Prius slowly in a parking lot, marveled at the quiet, all-electric operation and thought to yourself: "Gosh, wouldn't it be great if the Prius was like this all the time?" Well, if that's you, your wish has been granted with the 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-in -- sort of.
The Prius Plug-in hybrid bridges the gap between a traditional hybrid and a fully electric vehicle. Unlike the regular Prius, the Plug-in allows you to travel a fair distance solely on electric power. Yet unlike an all-electric car, this Toyota still has a gas engine, so you needn't worry about running out of battery power before you've made it to a recharging station.
Essentially, the Prius Plug-in is a standard Prius with a more powerful battery pack and the ability to recharge from an outside source. With it, the Plug-in can make it about 10-15 miles on electric power alone. After that, the standard hybrid powertrain takes over. Although that's not much electric-only range, the Prius Plug-in's battery pack only takes about three hours to recharge on a standard 120-volt home outlet, or half that time on a larger 240-volt outlet.
Since it's a Prius, the Plug-in comes with all the perks of driving Toyota's ultra-popular green machine. There's plenty of space for passengers and cargo inside, and the 2014 Prius Plug-in offers the same smooth driving experience. It also comes with plenty of standard features, such as keyless ignition and entry, a navigation system and a rearview camera. However, the Plug-in costs thousands of dollars more than the regular Prius even with this year's price adjustments. Additionally, the Plug-in has the same faults as the regular Prius, including disappointing interior materials, slow acceleration and, for taller people, an awkward driving position.
If you're shopping for a plug-in hybrid, there are a few rivals you should check out. The 2014 Chevrolet Volt travels much farther on pure electric power (EPA rated at 38 miles) than the Prius, though its gas-based hybrid fuel economy isn't as good, and it has a smaller backseat. The 2014 Ford C-Max Energi is pretty comparable to the Prius, and it also goes farther on all-electric (21 miles). If you want a sedan, both the 2014 Ford Fusion Energi and Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid could work out nicely. All of these cars benefit from larger federal tax credits than the Prius as well. Still, the regular Prius is justifiably a huge success, and the Plug-in effectively layers on plug-in recharging functionality for those who want it.
The 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-in hybrid is a five-passenger, four-door hatchback. It's available in Base and Advanced body styles.
Standard equipment on the base model includes 15-inch alloy wheels, LED taillights, keyless entry and ignition, cruise control, full power accessories, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a height-adjustable driver seat, automatic climate control, heated front seats and a 60/40-split fold-down rear seat. Electronic features include Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, a 6.1-inch touchscreen display, a rearview camera, a navigation system, voice recognition and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player, an iPod/USB interface and satellite and HD radio. Toyota's Entune smartphone and Web integration system is also standard.
The Prius Plug-in Advanced adds unique exterior styling tweaks, automatic headlights, upgraded seat upholstery (simulated leather), an eight-way power driver seat (with power lumbar), an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a head-up display, more Entune capabilities, Safety Connect, a premium eight-speaker JBL sound system and a higher-quality navigation display. An optional Technology package for the Advanced adds automatic LED headlights, foglights, adaptive cruise control and a forward collision warning system.
The 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-in is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine combined with a pair of electric motors/generators. Together they send 134 horsepower to the front wheels through a specialized continuously variable transmission (CVT). The battery pack features lithium-ion technology and has more capacity (4.4 kWh) than the regular Prius' pack (though total capacity is still less than other plug-in hybrids like the C-Max Energi and Volt).
In Edmunds testing, a Prius Plug-in accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 9.9 seconds, about the same time as the regular Prius but slower than its plug-in rivals. In normal driving, this Prius can go an EPA-estimated 11 miles on battery power alone. After the all-electric range is used up, the EPA says the Prius Plug-in is good for 50 mpg combined (51 mpg city/49 mpg highway).
The 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-in hybrid's standard safety features include antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front side airbags, a driver knee airbag, full-length side curtain airbags, a rearview camera and hill start assist. The Advanced trim level also has Toyota's Safety Connect service, which includes emergency assistance, stolen vehicle locating and automatic collision notification. A frontal collision warning system is optional on the Advanced model.
In Edmunds brake testing, a Prius Plug-in stopped from 60 mph in 127 feet. That's an average result for this segment, but 9 feet longer than the conventional (and lighter) Prius hybrid.
The Prius Plug-in hybrid received an overall rating of four out of five stars in government crash testing, with four stars for total frontal impact protection and five stars for total side-impact protection.
The 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-in features straightforward controls that jut out toward the driver in a "floating console" that provides a storage tray underneath. It's stylish and also helps maximize cabin space. The digital instrument panel features a floating layer that displays audio, temperature and trip computer information when the driver touches those controls on the steering wheel, minimizing eye movement. Some drivers might find the overall design a bit too busy-looking, however.
The standard touchscreen operates many of the Prius' high-tech features and is, for the most part, smartly designed. The Entune system can be a hassle, though, since you have to install an app on your phone and register for an account; plus, you always need an active data connection to use Entune.
Materials quality in the Prius is also disappointing, with harder and cheaper plastics than other cars in its price range. The corduroy-like texturing on the climate and audio controls seems nice at first, but collects oil from the skin and causes circular dark spots on most buttons.
Like the standard Prius, the plug-in is a segment leader in versatility. The hatchback body style provides 21.6 cubic feet of cargo volume with the rear seats up, and the rear seats offer plenty of space for passengers. Up front, taller drivers still have to contend with a steering wheel that's placed too far away. Despite a telescoping column, it doesn't extend nearly far enough to enable a comfortable driving position.
The 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-in drives much like the regular Prius. This means smooth performance whether it's in pure electric or standard hybrid mode, as well as a supple ride around town and while cruising on the freeways. Acceleration is typical for a hybrid: far from quick, but perfectly fine for most drivers and situations.
Handling is also similar to the regular Prius. Although the car feels competent enough in normal driving, its low-rolling-resistance all-season tires (which help optimize fuel economy) and conservatively calibrated stability control system quickly pull the reins on any attempt to take turns at a spirited pace. In fairness, this will be a non-issue for most shoppers, who will appreciate the Plug-in Prius' easy driving nature, all-around comfort and amazing fuel economy.
Has all the Prius pro's and con's.
Pro's include excellent packaging, fuel economy, and tech features and drivetrain.
Con's include slow acceleration, cheap
and easy to scratch interior parts, built to save weight which means less sound deadening.
But Toyota is offering $4,000 rebate, 0% financing for 60 months, $0 down and no payments for 90 days, and $2,500 federal tax rebate, and $1,500 California rebate (for CA residents).
So in the end, the car costs LESS than a comparably eqipped regular Prius 3.
In other words, you get all the Prius 3 features + heated seats + no wheel caps + the possibility of carpool stickers in CA + plug in capability + higher resale value FOR LESS MONEY.
This is the estimated average annual insurance premium being charged in your state. The premium has been determined based on annual premium data for defined coverages (liability, comprehensive and collision) from a major insurer.
While this information is specific to vehicle make, model, model year and body type, your personal information is not taken into consideration and could greatly alter the actual premium quoted by an insurer. Factors that will affect your rate include your age, marital status, credit history, driving record, and the garaging address of your vehicle.

This Week
World Doesn't End, Markets Surge
Markets rallied this week after Europe's leaders—defying skeptics—proposed a credible plan to end the drama surrounding the continent's debt woes. The Standard & Poor's 500 gained 3.8% and is up 13.6% in October—putting it on course for the largest monthly return since 1974.
Super Savers
Retail bank deposits now make up 90% of all FDIC-insured deposits, up from 83% in 2008—despite low rates, says Market Rates Insight. Cash in FDIC-insured accounts rose to $7.4 trillion in June, a 9.7% increase from a year ago, even as the personal savings rate fell to 3.6% in September, the lowest since December 2007.
Big Debt on Campus
President Obama this week announced a plan that would reduce interest rates on government-issued loans—as well as some privately issued ones—and move up the start date of a program that caps monthly payment for borrowers with low incomes. The proposals don't require congressional approval.

Metro is rolling out a new campaign aimed at curbing a dangerous crime: buses are being pelted with rocks. City leaders even considered cutting nighttime service along troubled routes.
Metro decided to try and address the problem instead of reducing service. Transit and D.C. Police are handing out thousands of fliers so people know the consequences of their actions. Throwing a rock at a bus could land you 10 years behind bars if someone gets seriously hurt.
It didn't take long to find a Metrobus rider who was the victim of a rock attack.
"Somebody threw a cinder block," says William Sutcliffe. "Grey concrete 15 pounds into the front bus window and shattered the front window."
Sutcliffe says no one was hurt when that happened last June, but others fear next time they may not be so lucky.
"It could be a safety hazard for the bus driver, also the passengers on the bus. I am a passenger and I don't want to get hit by a rock," says Denise Davis.
"The issue should be stopped," says Fenton Chester. "If they can stop it and if they can't stop it then make everybody aware of it."
Deputy Chief Jeff Delinski is doing just that. He's part of a Metro Transit and D.C. Police team posting the fliers at public schools and recreation centers. Several thousand more are also being handed out.
"It's also not fun and games. It's very dangerous," says Delinski. "People can get hurt and not only that there's a criminal penalty associated with rock throwing."
The penalties range from a $500 fine to 10 years in prison.
Last month D.C. councilmembers addressed the growing concerns at a community meeting in Southeast. The biggest feedback: make sure the public knows the consequences.
"I think it's a good idea because it sets awareness," says Reanna Robinson. "People do stupid things for no reason. A lot of people think you'll get away with it."
Metro Transit Police say they're going to continue meeting with bus operators and attending bus safety meetings. They get a lot of good ideas from meetings on how to better protect everyone.

Currently I am experimenting with the Attitude theme, and I like i a lot. I have chosen Left sidebar as the default layout. However, on selected pages I would like to display both the left and right sidebars. I may have overlooked some option, so I wonder if this can be accomplished in a simple way?
Preferably I would like to have both sidebars on the Front page as well (even when "Your latest posts" is selected).

I had been under the impression that since TAoCP covers the science more
than any specific implementation (unless you happen to have a MIX machine)
it wouldn't nessessarily be out of date. Does this mean that in fact the
algorithms presented in 'The Art of Computer Programming: Semi-numerical
algorithms Vol 3' are not in fact as sound as there were a few decades

What Jessica has written here is about The Force Awakens. But more than that, it's about Star Wars. But more than that, it's about childhood. But more than that…

Another thoughtful write-up of this year's dConstruct, weaving a thread between the talks from Jason Scott, James Burke, and Tom Armitage with a detour via Italo Calvino.
This is my favourite write-up of dConstruct so far. I love that way that, rather than simply giving a linear description, Laura weaves together the implicit strands that were running throughout the day — a very thoughtful, considered approach.

An experimental prototype that tracks the online buzz around BBC programmes (before they disappear down the memory hole of the iPlayer's time-restricted playback).
An even more speculative version of The Long Bet. Given a supposition (e.g. "What will the world be like when custom satellites are as easy to design and launch as your own website is today?"), you can add to a list of positive and negative outcomes.

Nevis Premier Parry hails Powell's achievement
CHARLESTOWN, Nevis, Nov 18, CMC – Nevis Premier Joseph Parry has hailed the achievement of West Indies opening batsman Kieran Powell after the player lashed a centuries in each innings of the first Test against Bangladesh.
Powell, the sixth Nevisian to play Test cricket, hit 117 in the first innings and 110 in the second, as West Indies pulled off a 77-run victory on Saturday's final day at the Shere Bangla Stadium.
Parry said he had texted Powell to congratulate him.
"What an illustrious company to be in, and you are the first Eastern Caribbean cricketer joining eight other outstanding West Indian men who made two hundreds in one match," Parry told Powell.
The 22-year-old became the nine West Indian and the first in 11 years to achieve the feat, while joining Gordon Greenidge as only the second opener.
He joined a list of illustrious of players including the peerless Sir Garry Sobers, George Headley and Sir Clyde Walcott. The prodigious Brian Lara was the last player to accomplish the feat.
Powell has now scored three centuries in 12 Tests following his maiden hundred against New Zealand last July.

RAW image format
The most common image format among digital cameras is JPEG, it's a format which produces relatively small files from large amounts of image data by discarding certain information, however JPEG uses a "lossy compression algorithm". The only common lossless alternative is TIFF, this produces an uncompressed 24-bit per pixel image often in the multiple megabytes, for a 4 megapixel camera in excess of 11 MB per image, not really practical.
RAW is simply pixel data as it comes directly off the CCD, no in-camera processing is performed. Typically this data is 8, 10 or 12 bits per pixel. The advantage being that file sizes are considerably smaller (2272 x 1704 x 10 bits = 4,839,360 bytes), the image has not been processed or white balanced which means you can correct the image, and it's a better representation of the "digital negative" captured. The disadvantage is you can't open these image files with a normal photo package without using an "acquire module" (a plugin, typically TWAIN, which can open / process such images).
A little background: each pixel of a CCD can only see one colour, depending on the CFA (colour filter array) placed over the CCD this is either Red/Green/Blue or Cyan/Magenta/Green/Yellow. The cameras internal image processing engine then interpolates colours from the value of neighbouring pixels to calculate a full 24-bit colour for each pixel.
Supplied Software
The G2 is supplied with two methods for converting RAW files back to standard files (or load directly into a photo application):
- TWAIN RAW acquire module which allows you to open RAW (or G2
JPEG) files in any TWAIN compatible photo package (Photoshop, Paint
Shop Pro, etc. etc.). These files can come either directly from the
camera (via. USB) or your local hard disk.
- RAW Image Converter is an application which 'associates' itself with .CRW files, double click on a single or multiple files in Windows Explorer and you can convert the selected RAW files directly into TIFF (8/16-bit) or BMP format.
TWAIN RAW acquire module
The acquire module main window has a row of control buttons along the top (camera settings, preferences, rotate, set raw param.) as well as action buttons down the left side. You can choose to connect directly to the camera (via. USB) or browse files on your local hard disk (clicking on 'My Computer'). Select one or more files and click on 'Acquire' to convert the files and pass them back to the host application.
Camera Settings Window
Clicking on the 'Camera Settings' button displays the window above, here you can set the owners name (which is subsequently recorded against all images), date & time and format the current CF card.
The Preferences dialog allows you to set your acquire options. The most interesting settings here are the choice to acquire at 8 or 16 bits per channel and also to disable the 'False Color Filter' which can lead to some moiré artifacts but also speeds up acquire quite a bit.
Set RAW Param. Window
Clicking on an image (or group of images) and then clicking on "Set RAW Param." displays the parameters window which allows the modification of parameters such as white balance, sharpening, contrast and colour saturation which can be left as default (camera settings), set individually or for the group of images.
White Balance can even be manually "picked" from a white area on the image. New to the G2 is the ability to acquire as a 16-bit file and also perform linear acquire.
Canon still haven't done anything new with the acquire module, I'd like to have seen more contrast / sharpness / saturation settings (like +/- two levels instead of just one) as well as an exposure compensation slider which would allow you to get the most out of the 10-bits of data stored in the RAW file. The acquire module is also still pretty slow (even with 'false colour removal' disabled).
File Properties
From the main window you can also extract shooting information from an image (RAW or JPEG):
Acquire Examples: Linear Acquire
Linear mode allows you to acquire a 16-bit image with all 10-bits of information maintained, this can sometimes allow you to eek out a little more dynamic range from a contrasty image. Linear files have had no processing applied, no sharpening, contrast or tone which is why they appear very dark. It is possible to adjust linear images later though it's not for the faint hearted.
|Linear Acquire
(resaved as 8-bit JPEG)
|Linear Acquire 'fixed'*
|Normal Acquire
* Photoshop 6: Curve applied, Saturation increased, Unsharpen mask applied
Acquire Examples: Parameters
Below we've provided a few samples of the same RAW file acquired with different "RAW parameters" to try to give an impression of why RAW is useful and allows for flexibility. All images were acquired into Photoshop then resaved, the Contrast and Saturation samples were resized to 1024 x 768 (to conserve bandwidth).
White Balance: Auto, Sharpness: Normal
|Contrast: Low
|Contrast: Normal
|Contrast: High
White Balance: Auto, Contrast: Normal
|Saturation: Low
|Saturation: Normal
|Saturation: High
White Balance: Auto, Contrast: Normal, Saturation: Normal
|Sharpness: Low
|Sharpness: Normal
|Sharpness: High
RAW Image Converter
Also supplied is the RAW Image Converter, this program associates itself with .CRW files. Double-clicking on a single or multiple CRW files in Windows Explorer will display the window shown on the left, you can then set the conversion settings, where you'd like the images saved and in what format (TIFF 8/16-bit, BMP). This utility allows you to convert RAW files directly into a standard image format without running through a TWAIN compatible photo application first.
I'd really like to have seen the option to output as JPEG.

every morning when I wake up, I always eat a bowl of cereals...then, as I'm THE bigest bread lover in the world, I want to eat some slices of the loaf I just bought the day before...the question is, what should I put on it? I sometimes eat natural peanut butter, but there is WAY to much fat in it. for the jellys it contains a lot of sugar, if not only that...and I HATE bananas so I never cut slices of it to put on my toasts...
so, if I want to eat healthier for breakfast, what should I put on my toasts!?!?!? this question is killing me every morning, even more than asking myself what to wear!
I'm hoping for some creativity here!

It's safe to say the odds were definitely in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire"'s favor when it comes to critical response and box-office sales following the sequel's premiere last week. But what do the toughest critics out there have to say? You know, those who can relate to "Hunger Games" author Suzanne Collins? Those whose books have served as the source material for a whole new crop of films?
We're referring, of course, to YA authors.
Katniss Everdeen splashed across screens last week — decked out in a series of seriously enviable sweaters — in "Catching Fire," the second installment of wildly popular YA series-come-wildly popular film series "The Hunger Games." The electrifying and sob-inducing film earned its share of praise from critics following its premiere, and handily nabbed the November opening record from "The Twilight Saga: New Moon." Not bad for a sequel.
The page-to-screen transition has become pretty popular of late when it comes to YA books. There's "Divergent," set to hit theaters in March 2014; "Mazerunner," due out in February; and the next installment in the "Mortal Instruments" series, to name a very few.
In honor of this YA trend, MTV News hit up some authors of that ilk to get their thoughts on the newest "Hunger Games" flick. Check out their reviews below, and keep your eyes trained on the silver screen — maybe one of their books will be the next blockbuster.
Dressed For Success
"Larger than life, 'Catching Fire' hit all of my emotional buttons. The parallels to the real-world with people rising up against a too-powerful, dictatorial government were completely relatable. A strong, smart girl (who wasn't blonde or perfect) who saves the day was icing on the cake. And that dress that catches fire? Yeah, I want that too. Awesomeness." — Liz Fichera, author of "Hooked" and "Played"
Tears And Fears
" 'Catching Fire' was everything I wanted it to be. Unsettling. Brutal. Thought-provoking. The themes were more sophisticated than the first movie, the motives more complex. Jennifer Lawrence was so damn riveting, I couldn't take my eyes off of her — the Rue speech just about broke me, and I'm not a movie-crier. This sequel was downright stressful to watch. But that's also what made it so brilliant." — April Genevieve Tucholke, author of "Between The Devil And The Blue Sea"
Sequel Success
"I thought 'Catching Fire' surpassed the 'Hunger Games' movie in every way! Jennifer Lawrence made movie Katniss both fiercer and more vulnerable than book Katniss. And Jena Malone was a scene-stealer as Johanna." — Kara Taylor, author of "Prep School Confidential"
The Next "Star Wars"?
"'The Hunger Games' was a wonderful adrenaline-spike of an adaptation, but 'Catching Fire' is something different: It's a fully-realized film that stands apart from its source material, and like 'The Empire Strikes Back' it deepens and darkens the saga. This is a movie that achieves the quality of myth and nightmare, and gives the audience a true sense of a world thrumming beyond the edge of the screen. I am in love with this thing." — T. Michael Martin, author of "The End Games"
Page To Screen
"It's so common for movies to water down a book's darker elements, to gloss over with special effects and CGI until they're far removed from the images we see of foreign oppression on the news and the fears that live in the dusky back corners of our minds. Like the book, the movie version of 'Catching Fire' faced the darkness in our world and in our spirits head-on. Of course it's fiction, but its themes of power, defiance and allegiance are all too real, and it was refreshing and sobering to see them come to life on the big screen." — Anna Schumacher, author of "End Times"

Kathryn Bertine's world of wackiness
Last week in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the 2011 Road World Championships in cycling, Fabian Cancellara, a four-time world champion, made a costly error in navigating a tight turn in the time trial.
While Cancellara didn't crash after overshooting the tricky corner, he had to come to a dead stop to avoid doing so, proving that the course was insanely difficult. There were the slick cobblestones, high- speed corners, small European streets, rainy weather, nasty headwinds, and ruthless competitors.
"What about for you?" asked a friend, who had seen Cancellara's corner, and wondered how someone with, um, slightly lesser skill had fared on such a course. I too was at the world championships, competing for the fourth time. "What was the toughest part of racing worlds?" I thought it over carefully.
"Lunch," I said. Sometimes the hardest part about going after an Olympic dream has nothing to do with sports.
Over the past four years of chasing my Olympic qualification dream, I've learned that racing is less than half the battle. It's about the little things that aren't so apparent. Because I race for a nation unable to support its cyclists financially (I have dual citizenship with St. Kitts and Nevis), the logistics leading up to the races are usually harder than any cobblestone corner. Getting there is the first step.
Flying for 16 hours with two bikes, having no budget for a hotel or rental car, and hoping the male homestay I'd found through Facebook wasn't a serial killer made up most of my world championships concerns. (It's cool -- Jens used smiley face icons when we communicated via email, so I knew he'd be a good person.) Anyway, while most of my competitors spend their prerace routine navigating a mental and physical route to victory, I ruminate on the odds of being within walking distance of a grocery store. After all, you can't win a time trial if you can't score lunch first.
Sure, the fully funded teams have it easier. Things like food and beds and transportation are provided. There are team mechanics, doctors, massage therapists, coaches, and lunch shoppers/makers on hand to allow the athletes to focus solely on the sport. My journey is a little different, but when my bike is creaky, my solo-ness gets tricky, and the grocery store closes earlier than expected, I just have to remember one thing: I'm lucky to be here. Finishing 44th might not come with a medal, but it always awards perspective.
Lucky for me, Denmark turned out to be a good trip. My homestay was fantastic. I could walk to the grocery store and ride my bike to the time trial course. I needed help with other logistics, but I managed. And the cobblestone corners turned out to be my friend. Despite my seemingly far-away-from-winning 44th place in the time trial, my time and my speed average (just over 25 mph for a technical 27K course) were my best to date, and I'm only a couple minutes away from the top 20. I've improved, and the Olympic dream is still alive.
But my friend's question about the "toughest part" got me thinking. There's a lot about the world championships that people probably don't realize, especially from the non-podium perspective. Television captures the winners, but not so much what it's like behind the scenes and for smaller nations. So here's a list of the top 10 largely unknown facts about the world championships of cycling, as experienced by a non-famous competitor.
1. Strange men ask me for my clothing.
Occasionally, security will let cycling fans wander through the warm-up tents. Most are men who collect weird things. They often ask me for a St. Kitts and Nevis team jersey, hat, gloves, etc. I explain that there are no extras, that I have to buy my own team uniform. They linger, waiting for me to change my mind. The security man does not come over. He is busy smoking. I retreat to my backup plan and start my "strange facial tick" routine. Very soon they leave me alone.
2. The time trial tent is like an athletic version of a suspect interrogation room.
Wealthy men's cycling teams have extravagant team buses to keep athletes safe and warm during warm-up time. But for most women's national teams traveling halfway around the globe to get to worlds, we get a chair and a table, usually under a weather-challenged tent. They look like 50 little suspect interrogation rooms. Mind you, I'm quite grateful for this. Having the use of a table and chair is a step up for my unranked federation.
3. Team cars are for ... teams.
While the major teams in women's cycling are given a car to follow the peloton with spare wheels and bikes, the LGFs (lost girls' federations of pro cycling) -- nations with just one or two riders -- are herded into shared cars. That means the car may or may not stop if you have an emergency, depending on if you're more or less important than your fellow nation. Car sharing at worlds is like the start of a bad joke. A Croatian, a Syrian and a tropical islander are in the back seat of a Skoda ...
4. The UCI is now regulating pelvic bones.
There are all sorts of crazy rules in cycling, among them the positioning of time trial bikes. The bikes have to weigh so much, measure that much, have this or that angle. Right before the start of the time trial, a stodgy man in a business suit decrees the proper angle of every cyclist's saddle by placing a level on it. Despite the fact that bicycles are built so the saddle can be tilted slightly up or down to fit the rider's pelvis dimensions, the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale, cycling's governing body) has now declared that a saddle must be perfectly level. If it's not, the rider must "fix" the bike to this man's standards, often resulting in a different riding position and a fair amount of inner angst. This new rule was created to uphold the UCI's creed on technological advancement: "If it ain't broke, let me find my sledgehammer."
5. The hot seat is cold.
The three riders with the fastest times in the time trial get to sit in the "hot seats" until all the riders have finished racing. They're just three plastic chairs at the finish line, and the athletes in them get lots of camera time. It's nice to be there. But when the third-fastest rider is ousted due to a better competitor, there's no love for the departing guest. Getting forced out of the hot seat is the athlete's version of becoming Charlie Sheen.
6. The broomwagon is driven by Ricky Bobby.
In a road race, any rider who drifts off the main peloton and is no longer in contention for the victory is "swept" off the course by a vehicle called the broomwagon. The broomwagon is not a friend of small countries, which are forced to start the race at the back of the field. They are often the first to go. While the Olympic creed states that the most important aspect of competition is taking part, the broomwagon adheres to the less-participatory sports philosophy so eloquently put by Will Ferrell in "Talladega Nights": "If you ain't first, yer last!"
7. Unranked riders are sent to the back.
While every other race on the UCI calendar allows rider to place themselves at the start line in whatever fashion they choose, at world championships, the small nations and unranked riders are forced to let the more "important" athletes ahead of them at the start. Sure, the ranked countries have earned the right to be recognized, but if the emerging nations are kept at the back, perhaps they'll struggle longer. The upside is that at the back of the pack, there's lots of camera time on my backside. On second thought, maybe that's not exactly an upside.
8. The sound of one hand clapping is actually quite loud.
There are five identifiable species of world championship applause: Thunderous, Drunken, Sarcastic, the Mom Clap, and the Sound of One Hand Clapping. The first two are similar, and are the best reward any athlete can receive for their effort and pain. The world championships draw large crowds of European cycling fans who often like to party during a race that lasts up to four hours. Sarcastic clapping comes from the "fans" who share the broomwagon creed and is often reserved for struggling riders. It's rather mean, but luckily the rarest of the applause types. Sarcastic clapping is offset by the Mom Clap, which comes from the devoted people in the crowd who firmly believe that every rider needs encouragement. Strong, clear, loud and rhythmic, the Mom Clap is often accompanies by phrases like "You're almost there," "You can win this," and "Don't give up," despite the fact the athlete is often 10 minutes or more behind the leader. The Sound of One Hand Clapping is the newest member of the applause family tree. Plastic hand-shaped toys that issue a thwack-thwack-thwack when shaken vigorously now offer an alternative for people too lazy to bring their own two hands together. Either way, it works. Cyclists at the front and the back of the peloton enjoy it greatly.
Even for the greatest cycling competitors at worlds, the Porta-Potties never have toilet paper.
10. We get by with a little help from our friends.
So, all in all, there's no free lunch for the smaller countries at the world champs, but there are people who help keep our heads off the platter. The Mexican team helped me out with a gearing issue and lent me some spare parts. The Shimano guy gave me a front wheel when mine developed a problem. The Guyanese team gave me a ride to the road course every day when they learned I could not afford a rental car. The lady in the supermarket, noticing I was foreign, pointed out I'd selected buttermilk in my failed attempt to find skim. All were small battles that could have cost me the war had I not had some help during worlds. Next time a world championship race is on TV or maybe even in your town, watch and cheer on the best of the best. And maybe even bring a sandwich for the girls in the back, forever trying their best to get up to the front.

Prior studies on end-of-life decision making have focused on adults or newborns. In this report from the Netherlands, Vrakking and colleagues studied end-of-life decisions in children beyond the newborn period. More than one third of deaths involving children aged between 1 and 17 years were preceded by end-of-life decisions. In 12%, there was a decision to refrain from potentially life-prolonging treatment. Parents were involved with all end-of-life decisions; in most cases pediatricians considered the child too young to participate in these decisions. The proportion of end-of-life decisions was lower for children than for neonates or adults.

Concerns about food allergies are common. This systematic review addressed the question of whether feeding hydrolyzed infant formulas from birth can reduce the risk of allergies. Nine prospective studies examined the effect of extensively hydrolyzed formulas. Extensively hydrolyzed casein formulas do appear to reduce the risk of subsequent allergies, although they are expensive and less palatable. Studies of partially hydrolyzed whey formulas indicate that they also reduce the risk of allergy and are less expensive and more palatable than extensively hydrolyzed formulas. Most studies have been conducted in high-risk populations; the application of this study to the general population of infants is not known.

Both in Japan and the United States, there is an emerging recognition of Kawasaki syndrome pedigrees with multiple affected members. This study reports on 18 families with multiple affected members. Occurrence in siblings represented 0.5% of children with Kawasaki syndrome in San Diego, Calif, and Boston, Mass. There were also 9 more complex pedigrees with 24 affected children. In these complex pedigrees, the onset of the disease was separated temporally and often geographically as well. No clear pattern of inheritance emerged. Given the existence of sibling cases and complex family pedigrees, physicians should counsel affected families and make them aware of the possible increased risk of Kawasaki syndrome among first-degree relatives.
Nearly all adult smokers begin to smoke before the age of 18 years. However, there has been very little research on young children's receptivity to tobacco or alcohol. In this study, role-playing scenarios for 2- to 6-year-old children and observations of their play behavior were used to assess children's perception of the social utility of alcohol. When asked to select items for themselves and their friends from a miniature grocery store, 28% of children bought cigarettes and 62% bought alcohol. Parents' smoking and drinking habits influenced the likelihood of selecting tobacco and alcohol, as did watching movies rated PG-13 or R. This study suggests that children are highly attentive to the use and enjoyment of alcohol and tobacco and have well-established expectations about how cigarettes and alcohol fit into social settings.

With the consumer's reliance on gaming consoles and wireless devices as well as their expectation of always-available high speed Internet, it's easy to forget the many innovators who laid the foundations that make these applications a reality.
With the consumer's continual reliance on gaming consoles, wireless devices, and high speed Internet, it's easy to forget the many innovators who laid the foundation that makes these applications a reality. In our second annual report, FierceTelecom takes a look at 10 innovators who helped change the telecom industry and make it what it is today.

I'm going to be biking from Jacksonville to NYC in just a few weeks. We were originally planning on following the ADV Cycling atlantic coast route, but are open to other suggestions. I also got a GPS for the trip which I've never used before. So I have a few questions:
1) Has anyone ever done this route, and if so, how is it in general? does it steer clear of heavy trafficked areas?
2) Should I purchase the ADV maps? will the GPS waypoint info be enough? Maybe the GPS combined with a regular AAA map will suffice?

shwa Small, new hostel with great, cosy atmosphere! Really nice staff people that help you for everything you need!! Just THE PLACE you are looking for in Belgrade! Thank you so much Bojan & Dunja, you're just great!
mardin Great hostel. Small but personal. Clean rooms, good facilities, perfectly located in the center, quiet and 24h access for guests. The host can give you all information about Belgrade and Serbia you need.
s2080078 In Old Shoes, there are very kind staff, pretty beds, clean kitchen and bath room. I´m Japanese but I enjoyed staying at this hostel very much! You only have to pay for 9or 10€ for hostel. And you can use PC any time, if you want to use. Kindness people are waiting for you:)
joto1 the location is great. right in the middle of the centre. the rooms are quite bright, and airy. the host likes to chat and get drunk with his guests. the kitchen is mini and the one bathroom not enough for the 10 beds. the apartment tends to be airless. but overall: its good value for money and a good place to stay for a couple of nights.
jagodic This must be the best hostel I ever stayed at, that is why I decided to write a review, I usually don't. First, it's very very clean, something a lot of other hostels have problems with. Location is excellent for researching the culture of the city or late-night partying. There is also one of the best restauarnts I have ever been to close by. The staff is extremelly friendy and is willing to help you with whatever you need. The rooms are nice and beds a cozy. There is a nice little kitchen you can use for making coffee or something to eat. I give it a 5\5 and will visit again for sure. Highly recommended.
