If you thought the Cal football team was bad on Saturdays, it's even worse on graduation day.
The No. 1 public university in the country has the least success graduating players among the 72 teams in the major football-playing conferences, according to NCAA data released Thursday.
Just 44 percent of Cal's football players graduated within the parameters established by the NCAA. For comparison, archrival Stanford is among the national leaders at 93 percent; state school neighbor San Jose State checked in at 51 percent.
Nor is football the only Cal team struggling to graduate players. While many sports are performing well, men's basketball posted a Graduation Success Rate of 38 percent -- the fourth-lowest among teams in the major conferences.
The football team's problems come at a time when graduation rates are rising across the country. In the Pac-12 Conference, for instance, only Cal and USC fared worse this year than last.
Athletic Director Sandy Barbour was traveling Thursday and did not respond to an interview request. She acknowledged in a statement that the Bears "still have a lot of work to do" but said the university has "put systems in place that we believe will raise the success rate for under-performing teams."
The GSR figures represent the four-year average of freshmen who enrolled from 2003-04 through 2006-07 and were given six years to graduate. In other words, the cycle ended recently -- in the spring of 2012.
None of the football players included in the data played for coach Sonny Dykes -- he was hired last December -- and the majority did not play for basketball coach Mike Montgomery.
"A top priority for this program since this staff was formed has always and will always be for our student-athletes to complete their undergraduate degree," Montgomery said.
The football team's poor graduation rate is not a new problem. After steadily rising in the first half of former coach Jeff Tedford's tenure, the numbers have steadily declined for the past four years -- a factor that contributed to the decision to fire Tedford last winter.
Reached by phone Thursday, Tedford called the graduation data "very concerning.''
"It makes it seem like we weren't dedicated to academics," he said. "No matter what anybody says, that's not true."
Tedford attributes the lack of success to players who played as seniors, then left in the spring to pursue careers in the NFL without earning a degree.
"People have good intentions, but life goes in a different direction," he said. "They rarely came back. Looking back, the lesson I learned was to have them graduate in four-and-a-half years."
Aaron Tipoti, a former defensive tackle with NFL aspirations, left school last spring without completing his coursework. He wasn't drafted and plans to return to school to earn a degree in social welfare.
"In the back of your mind, it's always the big lights of the NFL," Tipoti said. "By the time it comes to your senior year and you're maybe a class or two short, you want to go train somewhere because being in the NFL is a bigger dream."
Bill Campsey, a San Jose State professor and member of the Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics -- an academic watchdog -- noted that a different measure, the Academic Progress Rate, is considered a more accurate reflection of classroom success than graduation rates.
Implemented a decade ago, the APR is designed to measure retention and eligibility. Schools get rewarded for keeping players on track to graduate. If the scores fall below a benchmark, penalties (scholarship reductions, bans on postseason play) are assessed.
Cal's football team also fared poorly in the APR results released last spring: Its multiyear score of 935 was the lowest in the Pac-12 conference and one of the lowest in the country.
"I didn't get the opportunity to fix it," Tedford said. "We were on the right track to fixing it."
Indeed, the school has taken steps to reverse the plummeting football and men's basketball graduation rates. In addition to holding players more accountable, Cal has increased the number of academic support personnel and created an Academic Performance Working Group, which includes coaches and members of the academic support staff.
"Higher scores will take time to appear in the GSR data due to the lag time in reporting," Barbour said. "We are already seeing improved results."
The football team's grade-point average in the spring semester was 2.74 -- the highest in five years and above the program's historical average, according to Cal.
In addition, five of the six seniors on the men's basketball team in the past three years have earned their degrees.
"There's no point in not finishing," Tipoti said.

Clip Reveals Visual Secrets of HBO's 'Game of Thrones'
The expansive world of "Game of Thrones"—whether it's the icy wilderness north of the Wall or the sun-scorched lands of the red waste—means filming the HBO show in far-flung locations such as Iceland, Croatia, Malta, Northern Ireland and, in the coming season, Spain.
Despite the budgetary constraints George R.R. Martin recently cited in bringing "A Song of Ice and Fire" to television—something he estimated at $60 million for 10 episodes compared to $200 million for a three-hour fantasy movie—the show has managed to pull off some spectacular scenery—earning an Emmy Award nomination yesterday for outstanding special and visual effects.
Part of the team nominated for the award is Joern Grosshans, of special-effects company Mackevision. Earlier this week, Mackevision released a "making of" reel showing clips transforming a regular city into the Red Keep, or sprinkling massive armies on verdant fields while Roose Bolton and his bastard, Ramsay Snow, have a heart-to-heart. Watch the reel here.

Believe it or not, high school teams actually played Thursday.
In Paonia, Eagle Valley baseball got a 7-3 nonconference win against the host Eagles. Pitcher Dylan Trudeau went the distance to pick up the win.
"It's definitely a great win," Devils skipper Jesse Meryhew said. "That's a solid team. We want to continue the momentum. Dylan threw well, and the guys behind him made good plays."'
Eagle Valley baseball (2-3) hosts Summit County Tuesday.
Meanwhile in Gypsum, Eagle Valley girls lacrosse fell to Summit County, 11-3. Morgan Trujilo had two scores for the Devils, while Devine Hart also found the back of the net.
"It's tough. We've got lots of pieces, but we're not fitting them together," said Devils coach Patrick Johnson. "I've got to find the fit. We've got great lacrosse players."
The Devils host Durango today at 5:30 p.m.
As for the snow, Battle Mountain girls lacrosse did not go to Conifer, nor did the Conifer boys lacrosse team make it to Edwards. Roaring Fork at Vail Mountain soccer was wiped out as was Devils soccer in Steamboat. Battle Mountain soccer's date with Silver Creek, scheduled for Saturday, has been moved to Monday.

MARIETTA - The historic Wilcox-Mills House on Fifth and Putnam streets has been the home of Marietta College presidents for more than seven decades. Now, in the hope that the house can also serve a greater purpose, current Marietta College President Joseph Bruno and wife Diane are opening up their home for use by area nonprofits and local students.
"I really want people to see this beautiful home and experience it as Joe and I get to do. It's really quite a gem," said Diane Bruno of the Federal style home, which was built in 1822 and purchased by the college in 1937.
The home's open layout and spacious outdoor patios and gardens make it an ideal location for hosting events, something the Brunos realized could be an asset to area nonprofits while attending a charitable event held by the Middlesex Historical Society at the Connecticut Governor's Residence shortly before leaving Connecticut for Marietta.

"When Joe and I walked in we looked at each other and thought, 'Wow. Wouldn't this be wonderful to have in Marietta?'" she said.
Diane reached out to the college about the idea and everyone was quick to jump on board, she said.
A reception was hosted at the home May 2 for nonprofit organizations to tour the site and see how it might be used to their benefit.
About 25 people attended and one organization has already scheduled an event at the home.
Artsbridge is slated to host a garden party there May 17 to raise money for its United Arts Fund Drive, said Artsbridge director Mark Lanyon.
"Everything is being donated or is very low cost to us so all the money will go toward the arts," he said.
Though it serves both sides of the river, Artsbridge has typically held fundraisers in Parkersburg. The opening of the president's house gives the group the opportunity to reach out to their Ohio supporters, Lanyon said.
Tickets are still available for $50 per person by calling Artsbridge at 304-428-3988.
They include tours of the house, music by a string quartet from the River City Symphony Orchestra and a picnic basket stocked with a chicken or vegetarian meal and a bottle of wine, he said.
No other nonprofits have scheduled events at the house, but other groups have also expressed an interest in using the property, said Diane Bruno.
There is a nominal fee to reserve the home-$100, which goes toward cleaning up after an event, she said.
Both Washington County and Wood County, W.Va., nonprofits are able to reserve the home by contacting Marietta College's Director of Conference Services Laurie McKain at 376-4735.
Because of its historical significance, the home is also a great place for curious young students to tour, said Diane Bruno.
The home was built in 1822 by Henry P. Wilcox, Marietta's eighth postmaster, and was purchased in 1840 in Col. John Mills, an area businessman.
In 1910, President William H. Taft stayed in the home during Marietta's College's 75th anniversary celebration.
"Just think if you're a fourth or fifth grader how cool it would be to come here," said Diane.
One group of Salem-Liberty Elementary students are scheduled to tour the home Monday as part of a Marietta field trip, said Salem-Liberty Intervention Specialist Renay Eddy.
"We decided this year we wanted to do something in our own backyard. Marietta is such a great place and some of the kids don't really realize all the great things they have right here," explained Eddy of the field trip.
The Monday field trip will be the 41st event the Brunos have hosted at their home since taking up residence in July, said Diane.
"We love having these events here. If we can make it happen, we will make it happen," she said.

Too many passwords to remember? 1Password can create strong, unique passwords for you, remember them, and restore them, all directly in your web browser.
1Password is a password manager that goes beyond simple password storage by integrating directly with your web browser to automatically log you into websites, enter credit card information, fill registration forms, and easily generate strong passwords.
Your passwords, identities, and credit cards, are just some of the confidential information that 1Password stores in one secure place, protected by the only password you will need to remember.
1Password has received numerous awards, including 4.5 mice from Macworld magazine, MacLife Editors pick, and was the Pick of Week on MacBreak Weekly by both Leo Laporte and Merlin Mann.

Wonderful application. I use the Application to sync passwords with my multiple Macs, and to my Android and iPhones. The UI is well thought-out, and the dropbox integration makes sync a trivial issue. I haven't had a chance to try the Windows version yet, but the screenshots look to be functional, if somewhat less stylish than the OSX version.
Thanks for a great app.
Great customer service and it's a cross platform product! I have been using Mac version since March 2010 and recently purchased another license through a bundle. I needed some assistance on a license and Agile's customer service responded to my email 2.5 hours. I had a response and a resolution to my request. Now THAT is customer service!
I am looking forward to using both the Mac and Windows version so my entire computing experience is complete for my online password retention/recall. I am very happy with this program. It does what it advertises and does it very well.
It's the Swiss Army Knife of online password storage!
It's the Swiss Army Knife of online password storage!
1Password is an absolutely crucial app for your Mac. Full of features, easy sync with iPhone, multiple browser support, and several updates keep coming. 1Password is a must have. Go for it. It's a great investment.
This is an indispensable app, I use it on all my macs and my iphone. The syncing is flawless (uses dropbox). Browser integration is great and I especially like the 'Go and Fill Login' option.
Support is fast and friendly.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Thanksgiving giveaway: registered users got to gift the app to friends and family. All in all I'm a very happy customer.
This is the first piece of software I install on any new Mac or Windows PC.
All around great software! With 1P's Wallet feature and the ability to sync with my iPhone, I no longer need to carry a small deck's worth of airline, hotel or car rental service membership cards on my business trips.
They also have awesome customer support: fast, knowledgeable and attentive people answering your email messages.
Keep-up the great work!
This is a great product, perhaps the most useful and important on my iPhone, which syncs with 1Password on the Mac. The two together make this an essential tool. There is so much that needs to be secure these days, so many sites that need logins, identity information, credit card and bank information that you need to work and purchase and pay bills on the web, and of course serial numbers for all the software you own. The serial number for your software is what you bought. Without it your software is worthless. It is so important to protect that and have it securely accessible. 1Password is great, and not just for logins, but for far more, for everything in your digital life.
I've used 1Password since May 2009. This is a productivity/security tool that no Mac user should do without. It's well worth the price. I no longer have to worry about creating secure passwords, or most importantly remembering them. Pair it with Dropbox and you have an elegant backup and syncing solution. On top of that, the 1Password Pro iPhone app is a lifesaver when you need to access important passwords away from the comfort of your Mac.
Regarding the Thanksgiving giveaway: I have been involved with the computer industry for close to 20 years and have dealt with many companies both large and small. I must say that I have rarely come across a company such as yours that is innovative in its products, dedicated to its users and generous to a fault. I wish some of the "big boys" would take a leaf from your notebook. Thanks a bunch! You made some of my clients very happy.
I have been a user of 1 Password from Agile Web Solutions since March of 2010. Let me first say that this is one of the most used and useful applications I have. Agile releases regular updates and has lightning fast support. Extremely fast response to emails and very courteous. I sent an email to support and received a reply in eight (8) minutes. How about that for response time. I am definitely a big fan and a more then satisfied customer.
I have found this to be an excellent addition to my mac. I have even downloaded dropbox and then synchronised 1Password between my mac and macbook.
I contacted the support team for advice on how to do this and found their speed of reply and quality of advice to be brilliant.
Top product with excellent support in the background.

Irving v. Lipstadt
Defense Documents
David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|<< (d) Irving's biography of...
|< (a) Lipstadt's allegation...
(e) Conclusion
1. Irving's claim that the 1991 edition of Hitler's War and the 1989 biography of Göring indicate that he is not a Holocaust denier is not credible when the Index references he cites in support of this contention are actually consulted. Both books give an account of Nazi policies and actions towards the Jews during the Second World War that is perfectly compatible with the central tenets of Holocaust denial as this is normally understood by historians. In his reply to Lipstadt's defence, Irving refers to two further books authored by himself Von Guernica bis Vietnam and The Trail of the Fox, as evidence that he is not a Holocaust denier.Von Guernica bis Vietnam, however, was published in 1982, and is no evidence of Irving's recent views, which, as we have seen, differ markedly on these issues from the views which he expressed in the 1977 edition of Hitler's War and which (there is every reason to believe) he still held in the early 1980s. The same is true of his book on Rommel, The Trail of the Fox, which was also published in 1977. An examination of Irving's recent writings and speeches, since his self-confessed change of mind towards the end of the 1980s, demonstrates that his portrayal of equivalences between the Nazi extermination of the Jews and the Allied bombing raids on Germany is very different from what his reference to these two books would lead one to suspect. These equivalences as claimed by Irving will be examined in more detail below.
2. None of the writings and publications cited in Irving's defence against Lipstadt's charge that he is a Holocaust denier thus stands up to close examination. Lipstadt's book is quite clear that Irving had been 'converted' to Holocaust denial during the Zündel trial in 1988, and it is irrelevant to cite work published by, or statements made by, Irving on this subject before that point, since Lipstadt stated unequivocally that 'prior to participating in Zündel's trial, Irving...had never denied the annihilation of the Jews.' 22
3. In August 1988 Irving confessed that his thesis that Hitler knew nothing about the extermination of the Jews 'was a kind of half-way house in my conversion'.23 Already in the mid-1980s, as this Report will show, Irving was refusing to be definite or explicit about the number of Jews killed by the Nazis. In 1983, the 'mole' Ray Hill, who had infiltrated the far-right scene in Britain with a view to exposing its beliefs and ramifications, had a private discussion with Irving in the latter's flat. Believing that Hill, who by that time had achieved a leading position in the extreme right-wing British National Party, was sympathetic to his view, Irving told him that the figure of six million Jews killed by the Nazis was 'ridiculous'. 'There may have been a million or so', he said. If it had been admitted that only about one million Jews had died in the Holocaust, then the whole affair would have begun to fade from the memory of the world just as the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks in 1915 had done. But the Holocaust issue had to be kept alive to ensure money and influence for the state of Israel. If this was so, Hill asked, why hadn't Irving exposed the six million figure as a lie? 'The time still isn't right', Irving said.24 Five years later, at the Zündel trial in Canada, it clearly was.

PARKERSBURG -Thousands of dollars are pouring in for a Parkersburg South family's quest to raise money for research for a rare disease.
Friday students at Parkersburg South were selling T-shirts to raise money for disease research for classmate Anna Gordon.
Gordon, a sophomore at Parkersburg South High School, was diagnosed with Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) as a freshman. Ataxia is a rare inherited disease that causes progressive damage to the nervous system. Symptoms include loss of coordination, fatigue, vision impairment, aggressive scoliosis, diabetes and heart issues.

The Gordons have been working to raise money for Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA), a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to curing FA through research, according to the website (www.curefac.org).
Melissa Gordon, Anna Gordon's mother, said they are trying to raise $10,000 to give to FARA for research. She said support has come from all over. Many of Gordon's classmates have taken the lead.
Melissa Gordon said students at Parkersburg, Williamstown, Parkersburg Catholic high schools, as well as middle and elementary schools have pitched in to help. Gihon Elementary had a hat day fundraiser and Edison Middle School had pajama day to aid Gordon's efforts.
"It's really been student-driven," she said.
In just over a week, supporters have raised more than $5,000.
"The community is totally getting behind this," Melissa Gordon said.
Support is not limited to the immediate area.
Melissa Gordon said when South traveled to Bridgeport for a basketball game recently students there raised money for Gordon's cause, donating a dollar from every ticket sold to the game.
Students are using #joinannasarmy on Twitter to provide updates on events, raise awareness and provide support.
The money is being raised for a nonprofit research alliance.
In addition to the T-shirts, and benefits, a masquerade ball is being held March 23 at Woodridge Plantation Golf Club ballroom in Mineral Wells.
At South students were working to sell 700 "Attacking Ataxia" T-shirts.
Anna Gordon recalled selling a shirt to a student who was unaware of the person at the center of the cause.
"She asked, 'Who's Anna?' That's me," Anna Gordon said smiling.

Suspect arrested during parade
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 10:42 a.m.
The last suspect in a Bayou Blue armed robbery was arrested on warrants during a Mardi Gras parade last weekend, the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office said Thursday.
Along with three other men, Rondraye Turner, 20, 3717 Baker Drive, Houma, is accused of breaking into a Bayou Blue home on St. Marie Street last month and stealing valuables, deputies said. One of the men pistol-whipped a person inside.
Desmond Kennedy, 23, and Antony Knockum, 19, both of Thibodaux, and Kyle McMillian, 20, of Houma, were arrested and charged with the crime that day.
While those three left in their own car, Turner stole a car in front of the home he broke into, deputies allege. The car was found abandoned soon after.
Turner is charged with the same crimes the others are — armed robbery, use of a firearm during an armed robbery, home invasion and aggravated flight from an officer — in addition to theft of a motor vehicle.
Turner is in the Terrebonne Parish jail on bonds totaling $654,500. Kennedy, McMillian and Knockum are in the jail on bonds worth about $200,000 each.

A 75-year-old man was pronounced dead Monday night after his car collided with a building, Burlington police said.
William Mack Hollar, of Graham, was found unresponsive in his car just before 11 p.m. at Alamance Starter and Alternator at 521 E. Webb Ave. EMS first responders tried to revive Hollar but were unsuccessful, police said.
No one was inside the business, and Hollar was the only person in the car, police said.
Police believe Hollar was going north on Webb Avenue when he crossed the center line, hit a stop sign at the Cameron Street intersection and hit the building.
Police are still trying to determine the cause of the crash and the cause of death.

Berry Brothers dive for double on white seabass
Brett and Matt Berry, brothers in spear-fishing and free-diving, surfaced nearly simultaneously recently on a classic dive from shore off San Diego.
"I popped up first after I shot mine and I yelled for Matt," said Brett, who is older at 29 to Matt's 26. "I yelled, 'Matt, help me out. I've got a fish,' and he yelled back, 'You have one, too?' Turns out we shot our fish at the same time."
They had to fight off several sevengill sharks, overpopulated in our waters right now, to retrieve their fish, two huge white seabass. They shot them just below the surface, but had to go down into 40 feet of water to get them when they tangled up there. Any diver, whether in SCUBA gear or free-diving, would be proud to bring these specimens to shore. Brett's was the smaller of the two fish, called Grey Ghosts of the Kelp, at 43 pounds, while Matt's weighed in at 51 pounds. Recently, a 65-pound white seabass was shot by another freediver. The Big Biscuit hunt is on.
"My fish wasn't as big as Matt's, but it was just cool to shoot a fish this size at the same time as my brother," Brett said. "We weren't expecting anything because we just popped in for a shore dive. We mostly dive off a boat."
Matt is the more media shy of the two Berry brothers, so Brett handled the information download.
Brett, who has a private jet cleaning business, said he took extra pride in shooting the fish with a speargun he just finished building with the help of his buddy, Steve Rathfon.
"It was the first time I used it or fired it," he said.
The two Berry Boys learned to hunt and fish at the side of their father, talented wildlife artist and carver, Bob Berry, who has transformed the family home in El Cajon into a lodge straight out of Wyoming or Montana. In May, Bob Berry, a five-time World Champion fish carver and artist, will receive a World Show Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to taxidermy and fish carving for the last 50 years. He's only the third person to be so honored.
"We're proud of him," Brett Berry said. "He's a tough guy. We're going to go there for the ceremony."
Brett said he and his brother have been diving since they were kids and developed a tremendous love and respect for the sea and all its resources.
As freedivers, they are following the great wake left by the legendary swimfins worn by the sport's diving pioneers, the San Diego Bottom Scratchers, a legendary dive group formed in the 1940s of which just one member remains, James Stewart, a decorated research diver and retired instructor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
Brett is events coordinator for the San Diego Freedivers Club, a group that has carried on the tradition of the Bottom Scratchers. But when you consider ocean closures and limited access due to the misguided Marine Protection Act, the fact these guys can shoot a double on white seabass speaks volumes for the tenacity of today's divers and anglers.
"They've made it really tough, especially diving for lobsters," Brett Berry said. "I used to go out and get limits, but I got maybe five lobsters this year. I've been diving for lobsters since high school. They took away 100 miles of Southern California coastline. It takes us double the time now to get to spots and do this. It just sucks."
Divers like the Berrys are lucky in that they can still shoot pelagic species like yellowtail and white seabass in areas that are closed to other fishing. But they have to really know the geography and closures in order to shore dive as they did last week.
Brett Berry estimates there are about 800 freedivers in Southern California. The San Diego Freedivers lists 100 to 125 members, he said.
"We pride ourselves in practicing a sustainable way to fish," Brett Berry said. "There's no by-catch. No impact on the environment for what we take. But if you dive, you learn to hate seals. They're putting a hurting on our fish populations. Our system is off balance right now."

This cuold be a very stupid question, but before buying I'd like to know 2 things.
1. When drawing a polygon; let's say a rectangle, will I be able to establish the lines measurements?
2. Is there a way to automatically get the area?
eg: I draw a rectangle which measuremets are 3 M wide and 6 M large, the obvious area result should be 18 square meters.
Thanks for your response.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, Jan. 25, 2013
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- Officers are questioning a person of interest in a North Augusta house fire.
It's just a skeleton of a house now, and while investigators are still questioning their person of interest, to the neighbors, there's no question who did it.
When News 12 asked next-door neighbor Kory Powell what she heard her neighbor say, she responded saying, "I just lit the house on fire, you might as well call 911."
Powell stood in disbelief as she watched flames rip through the house next door on Long Leaf Court.
"First law enforcement on the scene was from Aiken County. They encountered a woman that is one of the occupants of the house," said North Augusta Public Safety Officer Lt. Tim Thornton.
"She walked out, yelled that, sat on her front porch and watched her house build up into flames until the cop was coming. As soon as he got here, she put her arms around her back and said take me," Powell said.
Flames at least 30 feet high and thick black smoke you could see from miles away covered the house.
Six fire departments were called in to help tame the flames.
"We've had fire departments from Belvedere, Midland Valley, Meriweather, Aiken County, Beech Island, Langley. Those fire departments were all on the scene assisting us with extinguishing the fire," Thornton said.
But investigators say this was no normal house fire.
"We do have a person of interest that we have taken to the station. We have strong indication that this was an arson-type fire," Thornton said.
What firefighters didn't expect was a lack of water.
"The water situation was critical. We had to perform a water shuttle using different fire apparatuses to get the water to the fire," he explained.
What used to be a roof is now a crumbled, ashy mess.
"It's going to be hard to believe that there's anything salvageable from the house," Thornton said.
It took firefighters more than an hour to get the fire under control. No one was injured in the blaze.
SLED will be taking over the investigation.

Ready to fly.
You may have opted for a lighter and stiffer integrated seatpost bicycle before considering that traveling with it may be a bit of a hassle. Luckily, if the measurement from the top of the post to the center of the bottom bracket is less than 37 inches, the Pika Packworks EEP ISP Bike Case will accommodate your needs.
There aren't many bag companies that can claim they've been manufacturing cycling-specific travel bags as long as Pika Packworks. Since '94, they've been producing air-travel cycling bags for some of the world's top racing teams. There also aren't many companies that can claim their products are manufactured in a Green Building, in the USA, with 85% of materials and fabric sourced and manufactured from domestic suppliers.
Called an Exercise Equipment Pack (EEP) to help avoid excessive airline bicycle charges, if you can get away with it, the packs are designed first and foremost to protect your two-wheeled investment. The packable foam and nylon structure is easy to transport and stow when you reach your travel destination. The EEP is made from black 1000-denier Cordura nylon, with foam padded walls.
It makes smart use of pockets to store the items that you remove from the bike for the storage setup; each wheel has its own padded pocket on either side of the bike, and smaller pockets will hold your saddle/seatpost, skewers, etc. Your bike frame is supported by the bottom bracket on a custom crafted foam block arrangement on the bike cradle that nestles down into the bag.
The interior is lined with contrasting yellow nylon. The bright color makes it easy to see down into its depths when you find yourself missing a skewer spring or seatpost binder bolt. Pika Packworks includes custom toptube/handlebar pads with built-in straps to secure your disassembled steering controls and a padded rear derailleur bag with a strap to secure it to the rear triangle should it need to be removed.
Be aware that this bag will normally accept bikes with wheelbases up to 44 inches, though packing bikes of this size will necessitate removal of the front caliper and rear derailleur, and will require that the fork be turned around backwards.
In keeping with the bombproof materials, the EEP has tough, nylon web straps sewn around its periphery in three dimensions, with buckles to make the closure redundant. They also include a padded shoulder strap with a generous thickness and width. It makes carrying the EEP no big deal. The pull handles on the burly YKK zipper can be locked together with a TSA approved travel lock for extra security for your toys.
The Pika Packworks EEP ISP Bike Case lacks any logos or language that could indicate to you're carrying a bike, so if you plan to travel with a 'drum kit' or a 'tuba' you'll perhaps be able to avoid specialty item fees.
