If you've ever wondered when a car company might cater to bacon lovers, your time has come. With its 2014 Fiesta, customers can now order them with "bacon wraps", "bacon racing stripes" and a "side of bacon".
"In the 40 years I've been in this business, I've never seen so much interest in bacon," said Allan Benton, CEO of Benton's Country Hams. "It's being used in bourbon, chocolate, ground beef, caramel corn and whatever else you can think of. This car just makes so much sense."
"You can only imagine that a hillbilly from Tennessee is pretty happy to hear about a Ford wrapped in bacon," said Benton. "I expect there will be some real excitement among the young city crowd."
Other options from the bacon-wrap Fiesta menu include:
- Bacon Racing Strips – two pieces of bacon that go on the car's hood and resemble classic dual racing stripes
- Side of Bacon – two individual strips of bacon that wrap over rear wheel – popular among those on a diet
- While the bacon-wrapped Fiesta has all the looks of indulgence, it's incredibly lean at the pump – with an EPA-estimated rating of up to 41 mpg on the highway. And unlike bacon grease, nothing gets sizzled away from the Fiesta interior, with technology and features worthy of a blue ribbon at any county fair.
- The bacon graphics are just a few custom exterior vinyl graphics Fiesta buyers can have installed on their ride to express their personalities. The wraps are produced by Ford Custom Graphics, along with 3M Original Wraps, and are available at www.fordcustomgraphics.com.

First, the Bestowed giveaway winner is…
Wahoo congrats Debbie! Please send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com with your shipping address and I'll pass it along so you can get your box. And for the rest of y'all, you're in luck because Bestowed kindly has offered you $5 off of your first box using code 5OFFBESTOWED01 – so really everybody's a winner 😉
Secondly, I should clarify a few things from yesterday's Two Words Tuesday post…
- I'm picking my car up after work today. I really am a good driver – the only ticket I've gotten was for a trash violation when I was living in Boston and I disputed it. The ticket was eventually revoked… But that's a whole other story.
- The "BE EPIC" tank was free when I originally signed up for pv.body. I ultimately unsubscribed from their monthly when they switched over to Ellie.
- It would be really cool to complete a tri one day but that one day was not over the weekend, I just happened to pass by it on my run.
- I didn't purchase any of the bacon products from World Market, but your suggestions of adding the syrup to a cappuccino or into pancakes are quite intriguing. Maybe I should have bought a bottle?
Anddd thirdly, moving onto Wednesday's traditional theme: my Tuesday eats…
Thanks Jenn for hosting another tasty link-up!

FAU Football 2011 Schedule Set
On-campus Stadium Opens October 15 Versus Western Kentucky
BOCA RATON, FL (March 1, 2011) –Florida Atlantic University's 2011 football schedule has been set. As the team steps into the program's second decade, the Owls continue to challenge themselves with one of the most competitive non-conference schedules in the nation. FAU also will play in its new 30,000-seat on-campus football stadium for the first time when the Owls host Western Kentucky University on Saturday, October 15.
"The first five games demonstrate that we will go anywhere to play the best teams in America," said Howard Schnellenberger, FAU's head football coach. "Five of the last six games are home. And now when we are on our Boca Raton campus, we truly are home. What a monumental day October 15 th will be."
FAU will open the season on Saturday, September 3, at the University of Florida, under the direction of newly hired head coach Will Muschamp. It will be a return trip to the "Swamp" for FAU, which played in Gainesville in 2007 against the then-defending national champions. The following week, FAU will return to East Lansing, Michigan on Saturday, September 10, where the team once fell to Michigan State University in a rain-soaked 2008 game.
Following a one week hiatus, the Owls will travel to Auburn, Alabama where they will face the Auburn University Tigers on Saturday, September 24 for the first time. It will be the eighth trip to the state of Alabama, the most visited state in the program's 10-year history. It also will mark the second time FAU has faced a defending national champion in the program's 10 years.
The Owls will then open the 2011 Sun Belt Conference season playing their fourth and fifth-consecutive games on the road. FAU will travel to Lafayette, Louisiana for a game on Saturday, October 1 versus the University of Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns and will be at the University of North Texas, in Denton, Texas on Saturday, October 8.
Saturday, October 15 will follow as one of the most important days in FAU football history with the opening of its $70 million, 30,000-seat on-campus stadium. The stadium, featuring 6,000 premium seats, including 24 suites, 26 loge boxes, 1,000 premier club seats and 4,000 priority club seats, will host the latest, state-of-the art amenities. The Owls first opponent in the newly constructed stadium will be Western Kentucky.
"Bring it home," said Craig Angelos, FAU's athletics director. "The football team has played 10 seasons away from home. The Owls will come home to play in an on-campus stadium that will be unmatched by anyone. This is 13 years in the making, and I encourage all to purchase season tickets today. It will be a historic opportunity for FAU and its surrounding communities."
FAU will then play host to Middle Tennessee State University on Saturday, October 22 and Arkansas State University on Saturday, November 5. The team will travel to FIU on Saturday, November 12 and then to Troy University in Alabama on Saturday, November 19. The regular-season schedule will wrap at home with a non-conference contest versus UAB, on Saturday, November 26, and the final home game for the 2011 season on Saturday, December 3 versus ULM.
To be one of the first to experience the 2011 season in the on-campus stadium, season ticket packages can be purchased with prices beginning as low as $135 if purchased before May 6. After May 6, a season ticket package will begin at $150.

EAST PALESTINE - Time may be money, but water is money too-if it's accessible.
Water in the lake near the old electric plant could be sold to oil and gas drilling companies, Councilman and Finance Committee Chairman Jim Tyger said recently.
Tyger floated the idea to council after first speaking with a resident who works in the drilling industry, and after reading an article in the newspaper about Columbiana County Commissioners selling water from Cold Run Creek to Chesapeake Operating.
Commission Chairman Mike Halleck signed the five-year agreement this month on behalf of commissioners. The county will earn $5 for every 1,000 gallons taken from the stream. That water will be used in the drilling process at a nearby shale gas well site.
Tyger said he has been trying to think of ways the village can earn revenue without imposing taxes and believed selling the water is worth looking into.
"The county is selling water out of a stream to Chesapeake so I thought to myself, 'If the county can do that out of a stream why couldn't we do that out of a lake?'" he said.
He isn't sure exactly how many gallons of water the lake currently holds, but recalls the water was used at one time to cool down the electric plant when it was operating.
He doesn't believe taking water from the lake would drain it, although he isn't sure Leslie Run could sustain the removal.
The lake is fed by Leslie Run, the small stream that flows past the wastewater treatment plant near Park Drive. One concern he had is that the Environmental Protection Agency could halt any water removal should any wetlands be involved, however.
"I know the EPA is big on wetlands and if we started pumping a lot of water out of there it could involve wetlands because it's swampy back in there," he said.
Councilman Fran Figley thinks selling the water could be beneficial, but doesn't see it as being feasible at this point.
"If you look at the lake there is no place to accommodate the trucks ... I talked to somebody about it before and there is no place to pull the trucks off, and they have to have a facility," he said.
He said he spoke with an MS Consultants employee and another man who works for a company that provides services to oil well drillers about the potential to sell water from the lake.
"They came down and looked at the site and weren't interested. It just doesn't look advantageous at this time," he said.
He and Tyger have been keeping their eyes on a business near the local country club that has sold its water to fracking companies.
"They have room for 20 trucks at one time to back in there ... there has to be a natural spring down there as many gallons as they haul out of that thing," Tyger said.
The company is XL Sand & Gravel, which has an address in Negley just outside of town.
Tyger said he doesn't think the village has the money to make similar accommodations, but isn't giving up on the idea.
"I was just throwing something out there to make people think. I've been racking my brains for years to think of things we could do as a city without taxing anybody. I think people are taxed to death all over this country," he said.
The idea to sell water isn't necessarily new.
He said when Gary Clark was village manager and Raymond "Sunny" Hull was mayor they discussed selling treated water from the village plant, but tossed the idea after learning it would put stress on the plant's pumps.
"We've looked at their (Chesapeake's) contracts in the past, and they are very demanding. It's not an 'Oh we don't have water today' thing, if they want 10 trucks there you're filling them up, and we just didn't think our pumps could stand that pressure," he said.

Rule No. 1 about spicy ingredients - you don't need to love spicy foods to love what spicy ingredients can do for the foods you do love.
That's because foods such as chili peppers and hot sauces can do way more than simply add mouth-searing heat. Adding just a touch will heighten the other flavors of a dish without adding noticeable spiciness.
For example, whip up your favorite mac and cheese. Now stir in just a few drops of hot sauce. Taste. It won't be spicy, but it will be better.
Why am I telling you this? Because I want you to try a seriously spicy ingredient and there is no need to be scared off by the heat.

A former aide at a Cincinnati nursing home could face up to 20 years in prison after being convicted of raping a defenseless 92-year-old resident.
A judge on Monday found 22-year-old Samuel Onyenweaku guilty of the Nov. 24 rape of the woman in her bed at the Amber Park Nursing Home.
A prosecutor said the victim, a widow and former school teacher in Kentucky, was bed-ridden and unable to communicate. She died in February from an unrelated condition.
A nursing supervisor discovered the crime.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that a common pleas court judge who heard the case instead of a jury at Onyenweaku's request convicted him of rape, felonious assault and patient abuse. He'll be sentenced July 28.

'The Other Woman' a female-buddy pic with snap
Thus, is a great comic duo born. "The Other Woman" is a female empowerment comedy and buddy picture, a PG-13 "Bridesmaids," as if that was even possible. But it is because of Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann.
Diaz takes the straight-woman role to Mann, an underrated comedian who's married to comic brand name Judd Apatow.
This farce involves a romantically jaded lawyer, Carly (Diaz), who realizes her new love of the past two months is actually married to Kate, a prattling, scattered but sweet housewife (Mann).
Diaz gets a few pratfalls, a lot of pricey clothes and the occasional bikini, and Mann everything else. Especially every funny thing.
Mann, who stole "Knocked Up," plays a great drunk. Pouring her into Carly's chauffeured Town Car is like watching Buster Keaton in high heels.
Worldly-wise Carly gets why Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) would cheat on Kate. She's a clingy ditz, catering to her entrepreneur hubby's every need. Even Kate gets that. But Kate wins Carly's sympathy, and ours.
Then the ladies meet a third "other woman," Amber (Kate Upton). While it's not her fault the comedy hits the wall when Upton shows up, she's no actress.
The film is too long, and gets more obvious the longer it goes. The villain (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is weak and Nicki Minaj's caricature as Carly's secretary seems straight out of a Tyler Perry picture.
But the script has snap and crackle to go with the pop, making this female wish-fulfillment fantasy an "Eat, Pray, Revenge" that delivers the punches that two "Sex and the City" movies never could.

Serena Williams insists she has no plans to retire from tennis
Former women's singles World No 1 tennis player Serena Williams insists that she has no plans to retire from the sport despite her disappointing form in recent months. Williams, who was recently revealed to be the highest earning female athlete in the world with annual earnings of £6.7m, started the year well by winning the 2016 Wimbledon Championships to equal the open-era record of 22 titles held by Steffi Graf but since then she has struggled with injury and form issues. The 35-year-old suffered a shock third round exit in the 2016 Rio Olympics in the third round to Elina Svitolina and was also knocked out of the US Open in the semi-final to Karolina Pliskova.

A Tokyo city government panel will release a report on its findings on Thursday after recently elected city governor Yuriko Koike ordered a review of ballooning costs, Kyodo News and other media said. The proposed changes, which would require the approval of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and each sport's international federation, are the latest in a series of setbacks and broken promises for organisers who had won the bidding largely on Japan's reputation for efficiency.

Motorola makes fun of getting #iLost
0. phoneArena 22 Sep 2012, 12:52 posted on
Back in 2010 after the release of the Apple iPhone 4 revealed a flawed antenna design and introduced Abtennagate and the Left-handed death grip to the cellular world, Motorola was quick to poke fun at Apple; the manufacturer is once again quick to respond to the problems with Apple's new mapping application...

#lockedbootloader or #losttomicrosoft
Motorola has little room to make fun of anyone.
44. Hemlocke (unregistered)
Yes, funny from a company that is on financial life support. Their phones stink, their policies stink, and they keep dropping flops.
64. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Their phones are among the best for reception. I would hardly call that stinking.
Flops? Their phones on Verizon are always among the best sellers.
68. techsavvy.jaz (Posts: 153; Member since: 07 Feb 2012)
Totally agree, their policies are what stink not their mobiles, Atrix 2 and love it but not the locked bootloader though.

Mxyzptlk, you never cease to crack me up. Seriously. I respect the hell outta you. You state your opinion no matter how unpopular you know it's gonna be. I'm not sure that I've ever seen you get more thumbs up than down, yet you persist. I rarely agree with you, but I love that about you. Keep doin' what ya do.

lockedbootloader? I suppose the iPhone has an "unlocked bootloader"?
hmm still waiting for the iOS untethered jailbreak. Let me know when that happens

This is seriously getting annoying phone arena. Don't use the apple maps. Its that simple. There are plenty of alternatives in the app store. We all know they suck, just move on and write something about the 200 plus new features lol. Its funny one of my buddies has iOS 6 on his 4S (I kept 5.1.1) and I can't even tell the difference LOL.
69. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
Every new feature from iOS6 or iOS5 is stolen from Android except for the new maps ;) just make a research
Once you can open an email link in Opera or use your iPhone as an external drive in a few years.....but I doubt that...... Deal with that iOS is and will always be an inferior product
80. Dj21o (Posts: 437; Member since: 19 May 2011)
Actually iOS is much nicer, zero lag, and quality applications. Android is a turd that can't keep up with software updates or even successfully run a simple operating system without having a quad core processor. Even then, Androids have TERRIBLE BATTERY LIFE and don't even last throughout the day. I'm a power user, and I never had an Android last an entire day. With iOS, I generally have 55% left. Not to even mention Siri DESTROYS Google NOW, and I can do everything and more when I jailbreak the iPhone. I can see system files, I can get apps for free, even the in-app-purchases (for free). Facetime also kills every video chat application in the play store, and the iPhones camera kills every new Android camera at the moment. Not to go overboard, but my GPS lock is less than a second on an iPhone, where as I can watch a full length TV episode before it locks on an Android. And to be quite honest, I get way better signal with the iPhone than any android phone.
Sorry, but your mistaken and Android phones suck. Have fun being a Guinea pig and never having anything go right on your phone. :D
81. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
You see how f**l And brainwashed are you.... you have to compare the same price level, not all the Androids ;)
82. Dj21o (Posts: 437; Member since: 19 May 2011)
Fail? All of my facts are legit. You're probably a step slower than everyone here, so its ok. But anyways, I'm not brainwashed, I just like to use stuff that works. Not stuff that everyone claims is "sooooo much better," when its not at all. Seriously you cant even bring up one of my arguments, you just say I fail and say I'm brainwashed? Lol, I'll take that from a butt hurt Android fan any day. And maybe android should make a better perating system, because an iPhone 3gs runs smoother than over half of the Android phones and gets all of the updates, have fun buying 3 phones every year to get the greatest/worst software to date. You make me laugh.
89. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
yes, youre brainwashed.....if you buy Nexus, all the problems you said with Android are just lies ;)
87. CRICKETownz (Posts: 980; Member since: 24 Oct 2009)
Well technically, we are all brainwashed then if we like using something according to your logic. I wouldn't go as far as to call android trash but I agree w/the performance of iOS over android. Android may offer more 007-like features but the common uses iPhone does what it does more efficiently & all while not needing the latest chipsets. I realize this pill is as hard for android fans to swallow as it is to swallow a watermelon whole...but it's been my experience.
90. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
talk about eg Nexus which easily tops iPhone in every level ;)
what is hard to swallow? that iPhone is an iferior product witch even doesnt know hot to open an email link in Opera and stuck in 1990 with icons? :-D
or Apple is all the time stealing? :-D
goo [dot] gl/CZKIq

deal with the fact not with your opinions :)
93. Dj21o (Posts: 437; Member since: 19 May 2011)
LOL I TRADED MY NEXUS FOR THE 4S. Pretty sad you need a project butter to make your phone smooth. And the battery life still sucked. But nice try though. No Android will ever live up to my standards or the millions of people who buy iPhones everyday. Android is a half baked os that can do more, but fails to do so in almost every aspect. iOS has everything down to perfection. Meanwhile, you guys bash them and expect everyone to just get an Android??? LOL GET REAL. FailDroids.
95. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
So explain me why iOS steals from Android? :)
94. Dj21o (Posts: 437; Member since: 19 May 2011)
I like you, you still defend Android, but actually agree with me to a certain aspect. Android is awesome if you want to constantly tweak your phone with custom ROMs, kernels and root applications; but, I do that when I jail break the iPhone and set it up one time, until the next iOS is out. Granted, the S3 and the Nexus have bigger displays, but the retina is really beautiful and I type just as fast with one hand on the iPhone (which has better spell correction) than an Android. Not to mention speech to text is flawless on the iPhone, whereas you say something and it doesn't register until 5-10 seconds later on an Android. Every simple task you can throw at an iPhone it can perform almost effortlessly. If Google made a MIUI phone for the US, I'd be all over it, but I don't want to constantly mess with custom ROMs anymore.
96. BattleBrat (Posts: 1457; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I had a 4s, and infact just bought another one to replace my ipod touch that had it's bluetooth FAIL. My first 4s wouldn't last 12 hours JUST SITTING THERE. My RAZR gets me 2 full days (48 hours) and I don't even have a MAXX!. It runs ICS PERFECTLY. I think I've only had 5 force closes and that was before I got ICS. Now it's perfect!
100. Dj21o (Posts: 437; Member since: 19 May 2011)
Yeah the difference is that I can sync my Facebook, my emails and iCloud and still get over 6 hours of display time. I know for a fact from multiple phones that you cant do that on an android... C'mon. Stop lying lol.

After following this site for months, I've only now bothered to make an account after reading your comment.
I love Sony, and think that Sony has the potential to make the MOST fun out of Apple. And should. Why? Because now people are going for the SG3, lumia 920 and Razr M - and Sony is not on that list. Sadly.
11. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I agree, Sony is a good company and makes great devices, but for Sony smartphones need quad-core CPU and better marketing.

Then you need to change your whole identity. But I feel your posts are fine I agree with them. Apart from once when I thumbed you down :)
Are the iFans going after you? Then you don't need to worry as they won't find you with their maps anyway :)
26. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3761; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Like Sony too...they have class. But sadly, i have to say that they should give customers more juice in their battery to enjoy longer phone play...otherwise, it's all good and sexy.
About Motorola here... Teaching Apple how to MotoFIND...they shouldn't hide. They should face Apple like Nokia and Samsung... But welcome to the iDissin' club Moto :)
97. BattleBrat (Posts: 1457; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
+1 for sony, I'm using the Android based Walkman Z right now, if they would only release ICS for it...

Put Apple down, Moto; so then they will be more motivated to fix it. This is what Apple needs, a knock down to be able to try stepping up.
30. Aeires (unregistered)
Meh, they are too busy counting their money. What Apple needs is to do something innovative, not rushing out half backed applications just to try and stay competitive because everyone else has passed them up in features and options.
46. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
i dont think the maps app is bad… i bet almost everyone who cites it has not used it because at least in my area it shows everything perfectly… it is by far better than the old google maps were-- whether that be apple or googles fault i do not know
the data seems to be perfect as far as location, while the traffic data is more of an issue for me...
48. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
It might be ok in your area, but in others it's very bad. Some cities are located 20 miles away from where they actually are, or just don't exist. Some areas looks like a mixed color patched quilt because of different resolution images and different colors, just look at the 10 fails of Apple Maps article on here.
49. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
"It might be ok in your area..."
For him everything is ok not because of his area but because of his passion for Apple. ;)
52. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
That could be a viable guess...
56. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Yes, it is only my assumption and opinion which through long time was based on current person's pro Apple comments.
85. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
oh please… i just used a one x for about 3 months…
I like apple products, but i am not a "blind apple user"
and I agree maps are not perfect, but they are better than what we had before… apple really needs to get in gear and fix the issues
71. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Ppl said the same thing about the iPhone 4 antenna. That Apple gave away free runner bumpers for ...and adjusted the antenna for the iPhone 4 for Verizon, the iPhone 4S and the other new iPhones going forward.
72. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
I agree with this.
Apple didnt adjust the design of the iPhone 4 antenna for nothing. Or give away fre bumpers just for the fun. If enough ppl complain and they get enough bad press, they will fix it.
Some some ppl might can thank Motorola if a fast fix comes soon.
6. Bluesky02 (Posts: 1439; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
lolol since Samsung started it, now every competitor is after iPhone 5. That's good, people need to realize that there're better options than the iPhone, for example SG3 or Nokia Lumia 920.
9. Bfrenz (Posts: 112; Member since: 26 Aug 2012)

Defamation requires lie(s) to be told to be actionable. Where is the lie in what Moto is advertising?
The truth will set you free....
14. rasinhussy (Posts: 88; Member since: 28 Dec 2008)
iPhone 5. No daily rebooting required. Can't say the same for any Android Motorola I've had, and the iPhone 5 camera beats any Moto hands down.

If you're older
than 45, there's a good chance that you or
someone you know has high cholesterol. It's so
common that treating high cholesterol led to 44
million doctor visits in 2006.
High cholesterol
may be widespread, but understanding how to
treat it can be confusing. However, lowering
high cholesterol can prevent heart attacks and
strokes. It could even save your life.
That's why my
agency, the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ), offers a guide called
Treating High Cholesterol. The guide
explains in plain English how this common
medical condition is treated and the pros and
cons of different cholesterol medicines.
Cholesterol is
vital to your body. Your liver makes
cholesterol, which is found in your blood. We
all need some cholesterol, but too much is
harmful. Your diet and family history affect
your cholesterol levels.
There are two
main types of cholesterol--good (HDL) and bad (LDL)
cholesterol. When your cholesterol is too high,
that refers to your bad cholesterol, or your LDL
level. When bad cholesterol builds up and leaves
deposits (called plaque) in the walls of your
arteries, it can limit blood flow and cause a
heart attack or stroke.
A simple blood
test can determine your cholesterol level and
your risk for heart disease. The more risk
factors you have, the higher the chance you have
high cholesterol. Risk factors include:
Your doctor can
help you determine your level of risk. The first
step in controlling your cholesterol is a
balanced diet and more exercise. Your doctor or
nurse may recommend a diet that includes fresh
fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, while
limiting foods that are high in fat. However,
even with a good diet and exercise habits, you
may need medicine to lower your cholesterol.
Different kinds
of medicines work in different ways to improve
cholesterol levels. Some block the liver from
making cholesterol, while others decrease the
amount of fat absorbed from food.
Most people start
with a medicine called a statin, which works to
lower bad (LDL) cholesterol. If your bad
cholesterol remains high, your doctor or nurse
may increase your statin dose or add a different
kind of medicine to help you reach healthy
Our guide
Treating High Cholesterol, based on a
review of more than 100 research studies of
cholesterol medicines, shows that all such
medicines can cause minor side effects. These
side effects include heartburn, upset stomach,
and diarrhea. These problems often go away and
are not usually serious. But you should tell
your doctor if any symptoms do not disappear.
It's important to
talk with your doctor or nurse about your high
cholesterol. Good topics include:
AHRQ's guides can
help make complex decisions--including how to
treat high cholesterol--easier to understand. By
understanding the benefits and risks of
treatments, you can work with your doctor to
make decisions that are right for you.
I'm Dr. Carolyn
Clancy, and that's my advice on how to navigate
the health care system.

AOP Orphan Pharmaceuticals AG (AOP Orphan) has announced that based on promising phase II data it will initiate a phase III trial to support European Marketing Authorization of a novel mono-pegylated Interferon alpha 2b (AOP2014/P1101) for treatment of Polycythemia Vera (PV).
AOP Orphan has exclusively licensed AOP2014/P1101 for development and commercialization in the field of Myeloproliferative Disorders (MPDs) with the territory of Central Europe, CIS and Middle East from Pharmaessentia Corp. a biotech company based in Taiwan.
In contrast to other pegylated Interferons that require weekly administration, AOP2014/P1101 is applied only every other week, resulting in higher convenience and potentially improved tolerability, compliance and long term treatment outcomes.
Results from a phase II trial sponsored and conducted by AOP Orphan were presented yesterday Dec 9, 2012 in an oral presentation by Prof. Dr. Heinz Gisslinger from Vienna, Austria at this year´s prestigious annual ASH (American Society of Hematology) meeting held in Atlanta, U.S.A.
"Pegylated Interferons represent the most promising treatment modality for patients suffering from MPDs, even providing a chance for cure", comments Prof. Gisslinger, University Hospital for Internal Medicine I, Hematology, General Hospital Vienna, Austria.
Data from 41 PV patients showed no dose limiting toxicities in a dose range from 50-540 μg given every two weeks, with a side effect profile in line with expectations based on other pegylated Interferons.
The overall response rate exceeded 90%, at 12 months of treatment 45-50% of patients showed a complete response based on normalization of hematological parameters.
A trend for normalization of spleen size was also observed at this relatively early time point. Importantly, after one year all patients were completely independent from phlebotomies.
Furthermore, JAK2 allelic burden was reduced significantly and sustained starting from week 28 of treatment. Molecular responses are regarded as important disease modification with the ultimate potential for cure.
"We are extremely happy with these promising results of AOP2014/P1101, and will take all efforts to make this novel treatment available to patients", said Dr. Rudolf Widmann, CEO of AOP Orphan.
Based on these results AOP Orphan is initiating a pivotal phase III trial involving Polycythemia Vera patients. The trial termed PROUD-PV will commence early in 2013 and will include centers all across Europe.
Design and endpoints of this trial have been discussed between the European Medicines Agency EMA and AOP Oprhan to support a European Marketing Authorization, using EMAs centralized procedure.
AOP2014/P1101 has received Orphan Drug designation already in 2011.

2009 is done and dusted, but there's an awful lot to look forward to in 2010. Over the next week we'll bring you our 50 most anticipated games of the year. It's fair to say that gamers appear to be in for quite a treat in 2010, should most of these titles make their expected release dates and deliver on their early promise. The year will bring everything from MMOs and single-player JRPGs to mature adventure games and visceral first-person shooters. Read on for games 10-1. Missed the earlier entries in our Top 50 countdown? You'll find 50-41 here, 40-31 here, 30-21 here and 20-11 here.
10. Split/Second - PS3, Xbox 360, PC, May
Forget about Deal or No Deal - here's a game show we'd really like to watch: A futuristic competition in which drivers race around enormous soundstages, triggering virtual hazards to knock their competitors off course. It's not coming to your TV set any time soon, sadly, but thanks to Black Rock Studios you'll able to play it for yourself, later this year. We've already tried it out a couple of times, and its shaping up rather well: it's fast, the graphics ooze style, and the PowerPlay attacks are highly satisfying. A racing game where you can cause a jet plane to come crashing down the track - right into the car behind you? Yes please!
9. Rage - Xbox 360, PS3, PC
Rage has an awful lot going for it. For a start, it's the first new IP we've had from id Software in 10 years, and given that this is the company that brought us Doom and Quake, that's a pretty big reason to get excited. Then there are the insanely detailed graphics – they're slick enough to compare with the visuals in Killzone 2, but the game itself seems to be operating on a much larger, semi-open-world scale. And finally, there's the post-apocalyptic-style setting. Sure, we've had a few games do the Mad Max thing lately, but id is the kind of developer that does a great line in horrifying, puke-in-yer-gob mutants. Surely it won't be long before we get our first hands-on time with the game. Here's hoping.

MIAMI - As the Phillies dressed after another loss Saturday, Jim Thome said his goodbyes. The room was quiet, except for a few players trying to catch up on the news.
"Where is he going?" one asked.
"Baltimore," another said.
They both nodded.
"It's bittersweet, to be honest," Chase Utley said. "Jim is a great teammate. I think we're all sorry to see him go, but also we're excited he'll get opportunities to get at-bats daily and still do a lot of damage."

There are many opinions and even some test data regarding various exhaust systems for our 928s. There isn't any one answer to the question of, "What is the best system for my car?". Cost is always a consideration as is sound quality, and of course power increase.
Choices for aftermarket systems usually come to:
1. Single pipe or dual pipe.
2. Headers or stock manifold.
3. Crossover style
4. Catalytic converters.
I'll present some information I've found from my own experimentation and research to help you decide on a system that will fit your needs. I have done most of my testing on the 32v engines and most of that has been on my '90GT.
1. Single pipe or dual pipe. A single pipe system will usually weigh less, cost less, and be simpler to install than a dual pipe exhaust system. The argument in favor of the dual system is that the dual pipe exhaust is easier to mount closer to the underside of the car and is less likely to hang down and look unsightly. The smaller diameter dual pipe mufflers are easier to conceal and usually do a better job than the larger single pipe muffler. I like the sound quality of dual pipes vs. single pipe systems, but that is a personal subjective opinion only. Dyno testing I've done show that both single pipes and dual pipes with equivalent flow capacities will make equal top end power. However, the dual pipe system makes more torque below 5500 rpm.
To see dyno charts of single vs. dual pipe exhausts, click here.
Pipe size is important and the 32v engines respond well to the larger size pipes. If you use a dual pipe system, 2.5" OD pipe will give you more torque throughout the rpm range than either the stock pipes, or 2.25" OD pipe. For a single pipe system, use 2.5" pipes from the manifold to a 2 into 1 merge collector, then a 3.5" pipe to the rear. 3.5" single pipe works better than a 3" pipe.

2. Headers or stock manifold. The tubular stock exhaust manifolds on the 32 valve engines are well designed, don't leak, don't break, are light weight, and all the 32v engines already have them mounted on the engine. The stock manifold has less surface area than any header design and will radiate less heat to the engine bay and surrounding components such as motor mounts. Heat radiated by headers can be minimized by ceramic heat barrier coating, and/or covering the pipes with insulating material. All of the currently available headers have to be installed with the engine in the engine bay and are difficult at best to install. Custom headers can be designed to enhance a certain area of the power band and can show a performance increase over the stock manifold. Because of the variation in header designs, it's nearly impossible to make a blanket statement regarding a comparison between overall power increase for headers vs. the stock manifold.
Qualified blanket statements: Headers should make more power than the stock manifold, and generally that's true. I've seen several dyno comparisons on cars that had improved exhausts using the stock manifolds where the stock manifolds were replaced by headers. In all cases, the headers produced more low and mid range torque than the stock manifold. Above about 4500 rpm, the increase from the headers is more spotty with some showing more power, some about the same, and some less. Since no header system will bolt directly to the stock exhaust system, you have to be careful when evaluating performance claims from adding headers. What I mean is that adding headers will automatically get you a different, and hopefully improved, exhaust behind the headers. You may not know how much of the gain is attributable to the headers, and what part is attributable to the rest of the exhaust. My '90GT routinely made ~325 rwhp (SAE corrected) on a Dynojet before the 2/6 rod bearing disaster and I've seen up to 342 rwhp actual as measured on the Mustang Ranch Dynojet at San Jose, CA. That's pretty good for using the stock manifolds. If you have a stroker, or supercharged motor, and also want to maximize the mid & top end power, strongly consider using headers. I believe the stock manifolds will be a source of flow restriction. Especially on the stroker you need to increase breathing above 4500 rpm and headers (Devek level 2) will help with that.
In choosing which headers sytem to use, we don't have a lot of choices. I think Devek stands out as the one supplier of headers who has been at it a long time and (through testing) has improved their design over the years. It is safe to say that their current design will produce a power gain, over the stock manifolds, at all RPM ranges. Unfortunately, Devek is no longer in business. Sometimes their headers come up on the used market. Headers manufactured by MSD are available too, but I have little knowledge of their effectiveness nor have I seen dyno charts showing results of their use as compared to either stock manifolds or any other headers.
3. Crossover style. There is a lot of discussion and questions regarding the "crossover". Common questions are: What is it? Do I need one? Why? What if I don't have a crossover? I'll try to answer these questions.
First. What is it? A crossover is the term usually given to the exhaust pipe or passage that connects the exhaust pipe on one side of an engine with the pipe on other side. Obviously this does not apply to the inline cylinder configuration such as a straight 4 or 6. It does apply to engine configurations of the "V", and opposed (Boxer) type.
Second. Do I need one? You do if you have a V8 engine with a 90 degree (dual plane) crankshaft such as the Porsche 928 engine. There are very few 180 degree (single plane) crank V8 engines. I believe all production V8 engines have the 90 degree crankshaft. This style is chosen because it provides a smoother running engine with reduced 2nd harmonic balance problems. V6, or opposed 6 cylinder engines do not need an exhaust crossover.
Why do you need an exhaust crossover? When you look at the firing order of a 90 degree crank V8 engine you'll see that two cylinders on each side fire in succession. One right after the other with no cylinder on the other bank firing in between. Let's check. The Porsche 928 firing order is 1,3,7,2,6,5,4,8. Cylinders 1 - 4 are on one side and 5 - 8 are on the other side. You can see that cylinders 1 and 3 fire in succession on one side and cylinders 6 and 5 on the other side fire in succession. The cylinders fire every 90 degrees of crank rotation and the exhaust valves are open for longer than 90 degrees. This means that the exhaust pulses overlap in the exhaust system for those successive firing cylinders. This causes inefficient scavengine for those cylinders as well as "overloading" the exhaust pipes on that side when the two succesive firing cylinders exhaust almost together. Headers can help since the primary pipes help to isolate one cylinder from another. However, the overlapping exhaust pulses still end up in the collector together. Tom Cloutier's "crossover" style headers connects one of the cylinder pairs to the collector on the other side to keep the pulses even in the collectors and pipes. With this style of exhaust header a separate crossover is not needed.
What is the effect of not having a crossover? Of course you'll get a decrease in power due to the poorly scavenged cylinder pairs and overloaded exhaust pipes. The other drawback is a very unpleasant sounding exhaust. The sound is a little hard for me to describe, but some terms come to mind; Rough, Like a Harley, An old Chevy pickup, Annoying.
The uneven exhaust pulses is what gives our V8s the pleasant rumble, or beat, that we usually like. The trick is to leave some of it, but have it in the background accompanied by a nice smooth melodic (howling) sound when the power is turned on. Not the flat drone of the typical ricer with a 3 lb Folger coffee can muffler. There are two types of crossover. The "H" style and the "X" style. The H crossover is simply a pipe that connects the exhaust pipe from one side to the other. It is simple, cheap, and marginally effective. The usual front engine, front transmission, V8 engined car configuration leaves little room for an efficient Ott (V2) crossover up front near the exhaust manifolds so they typically will have the H crossover. Some Ott (V2) crossover styles are simple 90 degree intersections of the two pipes. This is more effective than the H style, but not as good as is possible. The stock 928 dual cats have a modified H crossover in front of the cats. It is about as good as you could get with the H configuration.
I have researched the crossover quite a bit and I've come up with a design that I believe is optimum for our 928 cars. We have the advantage of having sufficient length in the space occupied by the stock dual cats to permit a nice X configuration crossover with excellent scavenging properties. It also allows for catalytic converters to be fitted to stay street legal. The basic X configuration� scavenging crossover design I use is suggested in A. Graham Bell's book, "Four-Stroke Performance Tuning". I refined the design for best performance compromise on the 32 valve 928 motors with results verified by several hundred dynojet trials. Ott (V2) pipe design.
As you would expect, removing the cats, or replacing them with smaller cats, will increase the sound level. The cars with the large center mufflers ('86.5 through '88 and GTS) can use theX pipe along with a RMB and they will sound very nice. Not too loud when cruising on the freeway, but it does command attention at full power and above 3500 rpm. The '85 and '89 and later S4 & GT with the small resonators will be satisfactory for most people if the rear muffler is left installed. Using a RMB on these cars will usually be too loud. The rear muffler doesn't make much difference in power whether it is on or replaced by a RMB. Click here for a picture of my dual cat replacement Ott crossover pipe.
The stock dual rear exhaust can be replaced by dual 2.5" pipes for an additional 12 to 15 hp. Click here for a picture of a complete exhaust system with Ott (V2) pipe, high flow cats, and 2.5" rear exhaust.
4. Catalytic Converters. Like it or not, catalytic converters are here to stay. Even if regular emmissions checks are not required in your area, it is a requirement to have the cats. Fortunately, cat manufacturers have improved the choices so cats do not have to be the power robbing devices they once were. Most catalytic converters have a ceramic substrate upon which the catalyst is deposited. The ceramic is in the form of a grid with holes spaced at 400 per square inch. This ceramic "biscuit" is about 2 inches thick. The typical cat has two or three of these biscuits. Different catalyst is deposited on each biscuit. The front catalyst is known as a reducing type and it's job is to disassociate the oxygen from the nitrogen in the NO component of the exhaust. The next biscuit and catalyst is an oxidizing type which takes that free oxygen, and additional oxygen from the air pump, and combine it with the CO to make CO2. The ceramic biscuits with the holes don't flow real well since the ceramic can't be too thin or it will be so fragile it would break easily. The only way to get better flow is to use a cat with a large area. That means one with fewer biscuits, such as two rather than 3, and the larger 4"x7" oval style rather than the small 4" diameter ones. These can be difficult to fit in a limited space. Random Technology has developed a type of cat that uses thin stainless steel as the substrate rather than ceramic. The advantage is that they can get a higher ratio of open space to substrate than when using ceramic. They also deposit the different catalyst types on one cat section rather than two or three to further reduce the overall length. The disadvantage is that it is more expensive. The Random Technology part number 702500 is a 2.5" in/out cat with an overall diameter of 4" and approximately 10" length. It is reported tohave excellent flow characteristics and be able to clean exhaust sufficiently to not need additional air from an air pump.

According to past diaries, my earliest sighting of a woodcock was on Jan. 4, 2009. Eldon York, who lives on Armenia Mountain, had called to tell me that he saw a woodcock near a spring seep on his property. I went to Eldon's and took pictures of the bird in the snow.
Because most woodcock spend the winters in Louisiana, we here in northern Pennsylvania usually don't see this member of the snipe family until the beginning of March. By mid-April, the migration is complete, and courtship is in full swing.
Our American woodcock's scientific name is Philohela minor. The genus name comes from two Greek words: philos, meaning "loving," and helos, meaning "marsh or swamp," in reference to the bird's habitat. The species name is Latin, meaning "smaller" because the European woodcock is larger than the American woodcock.
The common name of woodcock comes from its woodland habitat. It is a shorebird that has changed its habitat from mudflats and marshes for the woodland areas.
Our American woodcock belongs to the Scolopacidae family, which commonly is called sandpiper, with the name coming from the Greek word skolapx, which was used by Aristotle for "woodcock." The word skolapx, came from skolops, a Greek word meaning "anything pointed," apparently referring to the pointed bill of the woodcock.
The woodcock is well suited to the woodland habitat because of its dead-leaf pattern of variegated brown, black and gray above and rusty color on chest, making it very difficult to see.
Both sexes are colored alike; however, the female is larger. The bird has a large head with large dark eyes that are set far back and high on the head. The three outer primary feathers are stiffened and produce a twittering whistle when the bird is startled into flight.
Although the woodcock is seldom seen during the day, one nice April afternoon when my wife Mary Alice and I were traveling on a back road in Potter County, I noticed a woodcock in the middle of the road. I stopped to take some pictures, and the bird never flushed. It simply walked off the road into the woods.
Although the area was open, the woodcock blended in with the leaf-covered floor, and I had a difficult time seeing it through the camera lens.
The male establishes a territory knows as the "singing grounds," which usually are reverted fields next to brush or woods. The male performs on the singing grounds twice a day, once at dusk and again at dawn.
While on the ground, the male calls to attract a female. The male call is described as a "peent." After peenting for several minutes, the male will take off on a courtship flight that can go as high as 300 feet.
During the spiral movement climb, the wings of the woodcock make a twittering sound. Once the woodcock reaches its peak and starts back down, either in a zig-zag motion or again in a spiral flight, the male will give off a warbling song as he descends. The bird will land in almost the same spot that he had taken off from and again will start peenting.
While the male is on the ground calling, he will fan his tail and strut around, somewhat compared to a turkey. The female then seeks out the male. One male could mate with several females.
The female will nest near the singing ground. The nest is simply a slight depression on the forest floor. She will lay one egg a day, and incubation will not begin until all eggs are laid.
A normal clutch consists of four eggs, and incubation takes about three weeks. The female sometimes will sit so still on the nest that she actually can be touched.
Have you ever heard a woodcock in its mating flight? If not, find an area that is near a swamp or a reverting field that has been taken over by aspen trees. On a day in April, go out at dusk with a flashlight, preferably one with a red cellophane covering over the lens.
Plan to get to the area 15 minutes after sunset, and dress warmly because at this time of the year the evenings still are cool. After doing all of the above, listen closely to one of nature's many amazing shows. You'll be glad you did.

Wagner: God Allowed Japan Earthquake Because Emperor Had Sex With The Sun Goddess
As we have noted before, C. Peter Wagner is widely regarded as the man responsible for the New Apostolic Reformation which gave rise to the self-proclaimed prophets and apostles like Lou Engle, Cindy Jacobs, Rick Joyner, Chuck Pierce, and the other Dominionist/7 Mountain advocates who are slowly working their way into the Religious Right mainstream.
Given that Pierce, Joyner, and Jacobs have all weighed in on the recent earthquake in Japan to claim that it was an effort by God to shake the nation free of its "spiritism" and pagan ideology, it only seems logical that Wagner would also weigh in and do so in a manner that puts all the others to shame.
You see, as Wagner explains, he has been working to free Japan from this paganism for decades but has failed miserably because "the enemy has built seemingly impenetrable strongholds to prevent [God's destiny] from manifesting":
Japan's culture has been virtually uninterrupted for 3,000 years. Paganism is deeply rooted in the warp and woof of the nation. The spirits over Japan have had their way and they are not prepared to allow Christianity more than a token presence.
The most serious setback for Japan's territorial spirits came during a seven-year period following World War II. Despite a Buddhist facade, Japan's most deeply entrenched spirits are the principalities controlling Shintoism, which is a spiritualized form of nationalism. The chief visible figure employed by these dark angels is the emperor. In the popular mind, the emperor was himself a deity. But as a part of the World War II peace process, Emperor Hirohito publicly denied this status and the Japanese government agreed to separate itself officially from any religious institution, including Shintoism. General MacArthur called for thousands of Christian missionaries, many went, and Christianity grew well for what are now known as the "seven wonderful years."
For more than 30 years it appeared, in the visible, that Japan was maintaining its status quo. But in the invisible world, the dark angels began regaining their foothold. The growth of the Church slowed to a crawl. Then Hirohito died and his son, Akihito, would become the new emperor. A crucial question revolved around the Daijo-sai ceremony, the spiritual component of the traditional inauguration of the new emperor.
Now, if you know anything about Wagner, you know that he believes that it is the "Daijo-sai ceremony" that is the key to Japan's enslavement to demonic forces because, during it, the Emperor has sexual intercourse with the Sun Goddess:
Japan, as a nation, is one of the nations of the world which has consciously, openly, invited national demonization. And they do this though what's called the Daijosai ceremony…where when a new Emperor comes in to power…And as a part of this ceremony the Emperor goes to this specially chosen…place…He eats rice that has been planted and harvested and chosen through witchcraft. And at a certain time that night the Sun Goddess visits him in person, and has sexual intercourse with the Emperor…So the emperor becomes one flesh with the sun goddess and that's an invitation for the Sun Goddess to continue to demonize the whole nation.
So, according to Wagner's logic, it only makes sense that Japan would continue to suffer unrelenting hardship and remains impenetrable to the Holy Spirit:
In the invisible world, the two ritually become one flesh and, through its supreme leader, the nation officially invites demonic control as long as he is emperor.
Unfortunately for Japan, as for Haiti, a foolish decision was made and Emperor Akihito decided to reverse his father's post World War II position and once again became, in the popular mind, "deified" through the Daijo-sai ceremony. Not only that, but the government paid the expenses of the multimillion dollar ritual over the vehement protests of the Japanese Christian leaders.
Since then, predictably, the overt participation of government officials, as national leaders, in pilgrimages and rituals connected with traditional Japanese paganism, have been on the increase.

Blake Lively to star in Chanel handbag campaign
It looks like celebrities should all be lining up for a starring role on Gossip Girl. Just over a month following Leighton Meester's gig as the face of Vera Wang's fragrance, Blake Lively, not to be outdone, shows she's the Queen Bee of Gossip Girl-ville with a new gig as one of Chanel's brand ambassadors.
Blake is set to appear in a forthcoming advertising campaign for Chanel's purses, having just been in Paris to shoot the material. With three American Vogue covers under her belt, the Gossip Girl star has been one of Anna Wintour's fashion darlings and well, you know how that boosts someone's career (Thakoon, anyone?).
We don't want to investigate the reasons behind it all, but apparently not everyone is amused with Blake's appointment, so we think it's smart to ask a few questions about this issue.
Is Chanel now trying to appeal to a younger market? Is Anna truly obsessed with Blake? Did Chanel eventually pick her up because she's been namedropping the brand for the past three years? What kind of fashion clout does Blake Lively really have? Should acting ability, which Blake doesn't seem to have much, be one of the factors that determine whether a celeb deserves a high-profile campaign or not?
On a different note, we'd like to point out that the Gossip Girl cast has been snagging ad campaigns one by one. In addition to Blake and Leighton's recent career moves, Taylor Momsen has been named the face of Madonna's Material Girl while Ed Westwick has done some work with American footwear brand K-Swiss (we know!) in the past.
That's four lucrative advertising contracts out of six main characters on the show. Is Gossip Girl the new Pretty Woman? On a few levels it is, on some, not so much.

Gun license training cut in half
Classroom instruction to obtain a concealed handgun license was cut from at least 10 hours to no more than six hours under a bill on its way to the governor.
Proponents of the bill by Sen. Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels, said that when the licensing program was first passed, the curriculum requirements hadn't been worked out. The law subsequently required at least 10 hours and as many as 15.
Campbell said her bill would make handgun carrying more accessible for Texans, while still covering necessary material. The proposal met with little opposition.
The law would be changed to require classroom instruction to between four and six hours. The courses still will be required to hold firing range proficiency and testing on the material.
Gov. Rick Perry is expected to sign the bill.

November 29, 1999
The office building he describes as eligible for removal lies near the intersection we demonstrated does not meet the County requirements. The Kenmore hearing examiner ruled that an exception granted for that intersection was illegal, and he required further exploration of solutions. The City of Kenmore is in the process of reviewing the developer's response.
With the more than 12,000 added daily vehicle trips projected from Lakepointe, we are obligated to work for ways to reduce the negative impacts on our already serious traffic congestion. As the Hearing Examiner pointed out in his Dec. 11, 1998 ruling, "Common sense suggests that the addition of 12,700 vehicle trips per day would require a more creative approach in mitigation of traffic impacts than that shown by the County."
If this means removing one office building from the development plans, that option must be considered. There are, after all, still over 100,000 square feet of planned office space without that building. And the remaining buildings have not yet come under scrutiny for possible removal from the project.
In fact, now that Lakepointe developer's full response has been given, it appears that they do not expect to eliminate an office building. Hopefully, the City, in their review of the response, will follow the hearing examiner's recommendation: "Perhaps the City of Kenmore will adopt ordinances that require mitigation of significant impacts or select personnel that will be more aggressive in identification of mitigation measures."
Dan & Bonnie Olsen, Kenmore

Two-time champion Alberto Contador has pulled out of this year's Tour de France after sustaining a knee injury Monday, per Sky Sports reporter Gernot Bauer:
Alberto #Contador abandons Tour de France. After crash his knee causes too much pain. Sad to see but it opens up opportunities for new names— Gernot Bauer (@Sky_Gernot) July 14, 2014
The Spaniard crashed during Stage 10 of the race on the Col du Platzerwasel in the French mountains, cutting his knee so severely that he couldn't carry on.

Cycling Weekly noted the severity of the injury:

Though the reasons behind the crash remain unknown, it was enough to write off both his bike and his chances of further Tour glory.
After receiving medical treatment for several minutes, Contador was close to five minutes behind the peloton before he tried to get going again, but it was all in vain, as Le Tour de France revealed:

Contador previously won the Tour in 2007 and 2009. He won in 2010 as well but had the title stripped for doping. He initially received a two-year ban when he tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol, but he returned to competition in six months when the Spanish cycling federation overturned his sanction.
The 31-year-old was visibly emotional after making the decision to withdraw from the race, breaking down in tears before climbing into the Tinkoff-Saxo team car.

Tinkoff-Saxo's Philippe Mauduit explained Contador's retirement, per letour.fr:
Alberto badly crashed. His right knee is seriously injured. The crash has been violent. I have his shoe with me, it's completely destroyed. ... It's obviously too early to establish a diagnostic for Alberto. Once he'll reach the finish, he'll undergo an x-ray examination. Before pulling out, he told us that he was in an awful pain and he couldn't go any further on his bike.
Sitting in a healthy position in the top 10 of the General Classification standings, Contador was ready to mount a charge for yellow jersey No. 3, but cycling can be a cruel sport.
However, with Contador out and reigning champion Chris Froome joining him on the list of absentees, the race is now wide open.
Though the withdraws continue to grab the biggest headlines of this year's Tour, cycling writers Mikkel Conde and Tom Cary believe no positives can be taken from such events:
Worst thing is, whoever wins this race will always be 'because Froome and Contador abandoned'. #TDF— Mikkel Condé v2.0 (@mrconde) July 14, 2014
Contador abandons. disaster for race— Tom Cary (@tomcary_tel) July 14, 2014
Nearly at the halfway stage in this year's race, many riders will now fancy their chances of glory with Contador being cruelly ruled out.
Italian Vincenzo Nibali regained the yellow jersey after a win on Stage 10, and he may not be so eager to look over his shoulder without the Spaniard in hot pursuit.

I swapped one USP3/CN for another one in a Cts 2000, loaded all the settings, and had 10db less output from the amp. Is there a sensitivity switch somewhere on te card or is the amp starting to go bad?

The amplifier is not going bad. There was a change made in the USP-3 cards back over a year ago. This changed the input gain of the card. There isn't an easy change back for this as the gain is controlled by surface mounted resistors.
