Good 'ol Lance
July 23, 2013 § 55 Comments
Does anyone know Lance's cell phone? 'Cause we need him bad.
This Wiggins-Froome thing has gotten totally out of hand. One day we were watching a doped up superman who boinked models and actresses and rock stars, who owned ranches and mansions and private jets, who was devilishly good looking, whose ego was bigger than Dallas and twice as gnarly, who ground people up into hamburger meat on and off the bike, who beat cancer, cured cancer, sued enemies into oblivion, had an entourage of global financiers, Italian dope doctors, starlets, drug mules, presidents and scientists and who, with only one nut still had bigger balls than the entire pro peloton, and then, BAM!
We were watching Chris fucking Froome, a human insect who can't even pedal properly, a craven little wussmeister whose doping program is "marginal gains" instead of "ram the whole 12,000 cc up my ass," an awkward, unappetizing robot who confirms what every motorist instinctively knows: Cyclists are contemptible arthropods deserving nothing so much as the heel of a boot.
Sure, I used to bag on Dopestrong…until I saw the last two years of Dopeweak. What happened to the drug-crazed cannibals of yore, handsome, muttonchopped, steel-willed manly men who ate raw meat with their fists and swallowed their cocaine-heroin-strychnine cocktails in one-pint tumblers? How could we have banished the lying, cheating, brash and big-balled Texan who rode a chrome Harley, threw massive charity balls, charged 100k to jocksniffing millionaires for a group ride appearance, won triathlons, raced marathons, conquered Leadville, and ruled the entire UCI with the iron grip of a drug kingpin, which he was, and traded him in for the sniveling, milquetoast, dainty British softmen who drink tea, slurp warm beer, and race like simpering weenies or, what's infinitely worse, like British people?
Where is the wrath, the insane bloodlust fueled by too many drugs in the wrong combination, the tortured beastly exhibitions of athletic porn, the Texas gunslinger who rode over the bones of his challengers and fell as mightily as he rose, in full color on a giant screen surrounded by a frothing media scrum and presided over by the queen of daytime TV? I'll tell you where: He's been replaced by "champions" who are no cleaner but a thousand times less entertaining to watch, the insect class, the automaton class, the zombies of the road.
Please, if you have his number, call Lance for me and beg him to either come back or to give these pasty-faced cab drivers a few lessons in how to race like the future of the galaxy depended on it. I'll take les forcats de la route over the zombies of the road any day.
Froome, mad after being sad, now happy
July 19, 2013 § 22 Comments
After his frightening brush with sadness on Monday's rest day, Tour de France leader Chris Froome became very mad on Tuesday. Froome, angry about challenger Alberto Contador's "dangerous" riding which forced him off his bike near the end of Tuesday's 16th stage to Gap, was still stewing about the incident six hours later when he posted a tweet expressing his irritation.
"Yesterday I was really sad about all the volcano doping allegations," said Froome. "But today I'm mad. Contador's dangerous riding was really dangerous. It was extremely dangerous, so much so that I could have gotten really badly hurt. That just makes me mad."
When it was pointed out that, generally speaking, two hundred cyclists crammed onto French roads no wider than a tampon while racing shoulder-to-shoulder downhill at speeds exceeding 100 kph was a fairly dangerous endeavor, Froome reacted angrily and with a lot of madness. "I have a right to be mad about this. I think Contador was taking too many risks and evidently he did go a little too fast, he couldn't even control his own speed and crashed. That put me in danger."
Spanish madly react to Froome's anger
Contador rejected Froome's concerns, appearing to be mad that Froome was mad at him. "He is, how you say in English, a big pussy? Is true, I made the crash in front of him going a little too much fast, no bueno. Now he's crying about peligroso? It's the bike racing. Que pussy."
Soon-to-be-Sir David Brailsford, babysitter of Team Sky and curator of the team's Hello Kitty collection, was also very mad, despite being sad only a day earlier. "This makes me mad. Chris could have lost the Tour. Do you know how mad he would have been then, not to mention getting very sad again? He has ridden an amazing race. The others should be giving up, not pushing the pace on the downhill and somehow trying to gain a time advantage which makes Chris awfully mad. We talked about this amongst ourselves, and the whole team was mad. Just really mad. Angry mad."
Teammate Richie Porte, who is hardly ever mad, was hopping mad. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more," said Porte in his thick Australian accent that sounded like a cross between English and a throat disease. "G'day mate, shrimps on the barbie and all that. Just because I'm a banana bender don't mean these bities 'n bludgers can act like a bounce on me mate, eh?"
Froome goes from mad to happy after Thursday's queen stage on l'Alpe d'Huez
Despite being sad, then mad, Froome found himself feeling happy after Team Sky released his power data to Dr. Professor Jacques Tati, the respected French physiologist and comic film director. According to Tati, "Froome's power profiles show what we would expect within the range of a human with a V02 max that is at the limit of what is possible for a human, although suspect for a gangly insect, which he may well be."
Froome was very happy to hear Tati's analysis. "I'm really happy to hear Dr. Tati's findings and his take on it, and basically to back us up and say that these performances are very good and strong, clean, sporting performances. I'm not mad anymore, and I forgive Alberto. I am happy now."
Dr. Tati pointed out that he had not concluded that the performances were clean. "I only said he was normal for someone who is completely abnormal. Whether he is clean or not, who knows?"
British cycling public slowly getting happy
As Froome's lock on the 2013 Tour looks unshakeable, the cynical, sad, mad, and fundamentally grumpy British public has slowly shown signs of being happy about Froome's happiness.
Nigel Rathbone, a waiter at the famed "Warm Beer and Fish" pub, was guardedly happy. "I s'pose I'm happy, yeh, if it means we beat the French at something. Yeh. Why not, eh?"
Cloretha Clammonger, a charwoman in the City's toney central district, was also potentially happy. "I reckon I could be 'appy, I could. I'd rather be grumpy, but you know Chris is just a South African, which isn't really English, right? Now if he was a right good Englishman, I s'pose I'd be 'appier than a whore at a cardinal's convention, I would."
Froome admits to "volcano doping," WADA launches investigation
July 17, 2013 § 24 Comments
Lost in the press reports of rest day haircuts and predictions for the remaining stages, it took almost twenty-four hours in the news cycle for the World Anti Doping Agency to act on Tour de France leader Chris Froome's shocking admission during a media interview.
When asked about the credibility of his ride up Mt. Ventoux, Froome said "My team-mates and I, we've slept on volcanoes to get ready for this."
WADA officers immediately charged Froome with a "non-analytical" positive, a scenario in which a rider can be accused of doping based on circumstantial evidence, written or spoken admissions, or convincing evidence other than standard urine or blood analyses.
Jean-Paul Smails, Chief Inquistor for WADA, laid out the charges. "He's admitted to volcano doping, which is a violation of Rule 2.281(a), Subsection 12, which states that 'No athlete may sleep on or otherwise utilize volcanoes to enhance performance.'"
Team Sky boss David Brailsford reacted angrily. "You're kidding me, right? There's no way he volcano doped. He misspoke. They slept on a mountain, perhaps, but no one knew it was a volcano. We thought it was a large mountain. We checked it out with the Mallorcan authorities and they assured us it was a mountain, not a volcano."
Froome also rejected the charge. "I'll wait for the B sample to come back. There's no way that was a real volcano, and if it was, it's because someone slipped it into my meat. It was tainted Mallorcan meat."
When pressed as to why he'd referred to it as a volcano if it really wasn't one, Froome shot back. "'Volcano' is slang for 'boner' in the UK, maybe you Yanks don't know that, eh? I was sleeping on my mate's boner, which is like a mini-volcano, get it? Stupid Yank reporters, go learn y'self some English."
The Mallorcan Meat Cooperative, a national meat marketing collective, angrily rejected Froome's claims that its meat was tainted. "We handle our meat carefully, regularly, religiously almost. When our meat leaves our hands it's guaranteed to be fresh, firm, and free from additives such as clenbuterol or volcano. Our legal counsel is looking into filing defamation charges against Mr. Froome for claiming that we mishandle our meat."
WADA investigation gathers steam
Officials for the French AFLD and WADA insisted that they would pursue the investigation, but the UCI remained skeptical. "We don't believe he volcano doped," said UCI chief Paddy McQuaid. "Although his team did buy us a new volcano testing machine to catch other lava cheats, that has had no influence on our posture in the matter. We don't treat the stars any differently from the routiniers."
Francois Vichy de Foiegras of the AFLD disagreed. "Ee eez vocano doping, n'cest pas? Why else he sleeping on ze volcano? Le Mt. Venoux est un volcano aussi, et we believe zat he gets un avantage avec zees volcano doping." Later that evening the Team Sky bus was searched by the forensic unit of the French National Anti Doping SWAT Team, but no magma was found, although investigators were seen carrying large plastic bags of rocks off the "Froome Wagon" along with what appeared to be most of the team's Hello Kitty collection.
Links to Italy?
Froome has worked with notorious volcano doping physician Michele Ferrari, although both deny that the connection involves volcanoes. "I use him for his training plans," said Froome. "He is a good man. He's taught me so much about how not to blow, but nothing that involved a volcano, I can assure you."
Ferrari also denied helping athletes such as Froome volcano dope. "I don't do such a thing, but if I did, so what? A bit of volcano is no more dangerous than a liter of orange juice. Except for when Pompeii was obliterated by Vesuvius or Krakatoa. But that is completely different."
At press time, Froome's team physician, Bugsy Malone, provided Tour de France officials with a prescription for volcano enemas, although it had apparently been backdated to precede Froome's mountaintop trip to Mallorca. "Chris had terrible saddle sores and a bloody anus. I prescribed the volcano cleanse for him in order to stop the drip and reduce the swelling."
Team Sky has scheduled a press conference for 6:00 AM tomorrow to explain its official position regarding these allegations.
Froome "saddened" by doping allegations, may leave Tour
July 15, 2013 § 40 Comments
Tour de France leader Chris Froome of Team Sky has admitted his frustration at constant questions about doping, according to the BBC. Froome extended his advantage with a stunning ride on Sunday but faced more doping questions on Monday's rest day.
Continued Froome: "This whole thing makes me sad. Really, incredibly, terribly, horribly, agonizingly sad. The sadness of being called a doper and a cheat and a liar and a fraud is so saddening, you have no idea. I'm just so sad. Sad. I've half a mind to leave the Tour, I'm so sad."
Team boss David Brailsford hustled a visibly shaken and sobbing Froome off to the "Froome Wagon" before addressing reporters. "These doping questions make me sad, too, maybe even sadder than Chris. At least he got to win the stage. I have to stay back in the team bus washing dirty chamois and cleaning the insides of water bottles with those long spiky brushes that get the crud off the edges on the bottom but leave little bits on the very flat part. When is someone going to invent a bottle brush just for cycling water bottles? But it's really sad, anyway. I'm so sad I don't know what else to say."
Richie Porte, the faithful domestique who blew up the field in a hard-charging effort reminiscent of the days when 200-lb. George Hincapie won stages normally reserved for 125-lb. veggie mites, was also sad. "Chris is sad? Dave is sad? What about me? I'm sad, too! A little bit pissed, but sad at the same time, kind of like when I used to get beaten up by my big brother. This whole thing is sad."
Tubs McGillicuddy, the bus driver, although not visibly sad, spoke to the press about the sadness of others who weren't necessarily there but who were likely sad as well. "Y'wanna talk about sad, d'ye? How's about ol' Wiggster? He's the saddest of 'em all. He's sadder 'n a sad sack. Sadder than a sack 'o shit tossed out th' window of a fast-movin' train, I say. Aye, he's one sad puppy an' I 'low we oughta take a minute of quiet time to be sad on 'is behalf. 'Tis a sad day, to be sure."
Froome stuck his head out of the bus window and added, "My team-mates and I have been away from home for months training together and working hard to get here, we've slept on volcanoes to get ready for this, and here I am accused of being a cheat and a liar. That's not cool. It makes us all sad. This is a sad day. We should be cheerful and happy but we're not. We're sad. So if you want us to be happy, please stop asking us questions designed to make us sad."
The age of disbelief
July 15, 2013 § 19 Comments
It doesn't matter whether you think any individual rider in the Turdy Farce is doping. Nor does it matter whether the riders are doping. Nothing will ever resuscitate this so-called sporting event.
A friend invited me to a Turdy-watching party today. Ostensibly we gathered to see who would prevail on Mt. Ventoux. Ostensibly we gathered to watch a bike race. Ostensibly we gathered to enjoy a performance of extraordinary physical strength and endurance under incomprehensible stress and strain.
All I can say is this: Thank Dog my friend is a wizard on the grill, his fiancee is a magician in the kitchen, the beer tub was well stocked, and the company was comprised of friends and riding mates, because the bike race never materialized.
How the Turdy was watched
What amazed me was the cynicism. I thought that it was only me who considered the whole thing an elaborate staging of athletic porn, but it wasn't. The moment the Froomster began his wild 120 rpm acceleration the catcalls started. Nothing about his ride was exempt from criticism. His dorky pedaling style, reminiscent of a novice who's still learning how to ride smoothly, his Cat 5 tendency to keep dropping his head, his constant reference to the radio commands in his earpiece, and his obliteration of the field were all equally derided.
The Tour was simply a backdrop for a get-together of friends who happen to cycle. Nothing about the race was respected, admired, or given any credibility at all. The bankrupt team of Phil and Paul, the sad sack attempts of Bob Roll to fire us up, and the racing itself were dismissed by virtually everyone there.
Good luck with that
How does an event that cannot capture the belief of the sport's most ardent practitioners hope to survive? The answer, of course, is France. Despite the conviction that the best rider is a drug cheat, most of our crowd said they'd choose to go visit France and watch the Tour over any other bike race.
It makes sense. The riders can do whatever they want because it won't diminish the fun of riding the cols, celebrating on the roadsides, and touring in France. In the same way, the Froomster's fraud had zero effect on our ability to enjoy the food, drink, and camaraderie, and zero effect on the rides we'd done this weekend or the rides we'll do the next.
This is the post-Armstrong age of sports spectating. We understand it's all fake but gladly seize the chance to enjoy ourselves anyway. The giants of the road have been reduced to dwarves of the microphone and the lab.
You may find it all a bit sad and disappointing, but while you're reflecting pass the sausage and open another beer for me, please.
Vroom, vroom, Froome!
July 12, 2013 § 44 Comments
Newsflash! Chris Froome is on drugs!
Newsflash! Yawn!
Newsflash! So am I! (Beer's a drug, right?)
Several different methodologies have pointed out the obvious: When the Froomster's time on Ax3 beats Lance and others in their doping heyday … it's pretty plain he's doping! This story in Outside confirms what everyone knows and no one cares about. The Tour de France is athletic bike porn.
It's not real. The performances are not real. Everything is staged. It is as comparable to the sex you have with your wife as the stuff they show on http://www.superpornstaraction.com.
The problem with the Outside.com analysis is that it involves numbers. I hate numbers. I still don't know who got to the town faster, the man driving x miles per hour at y velocity, or the train that left the station at time z going speed f divided by the number of apples in a bushel.
What I do know is that the dude who took the most drugs clandestinely is winning the Tour. How do I know? I know because of Wiggins.
The Wiggo factor
Was I the only one who noticed that the defending Tour champ abdicated shortly after winning? And that's like, the only time that's ever happened? And, it's, like, incomprehensible? And what's more bizarre, he didn't even retire, he just said that next year it would be the Froomster?
What the fucking fuck?
Then I thought about it, and now I can explain it, especially since Wiggo has vanished from the scene. Here's what happened.
Wiggins was put on Brailsford's plan of "marginal gains." This means microdosing and evading detection by training in Mallorca, where the testers can't surprise you. Wiggins, who is an alcoholic nutcase, was driven to the brink of insanity because he had to go from a track rider/stage race flailer to Tour contender. The insanity was caused by his fear of getting busted; Wiggins has shown in his autobiography and elsewhere that he is a very fragile mental case.
Froome, who was an absolute nobody before Brailsford got him on the drug program, could have won the Tour in 2012. This would have been uncool, because Wiggins was winning sprint finishes, destroying all preparatory stage races, and on track to win the Tour in Britain's Olympic year.
Brailsford therefore cut a deal with Froome. Wiggins would win in 2012 and the Froomster would win in 2013. The parties essentially agreed to this in public when Wiggins said that he wouldn't defend his Tour title but would focus on the Giro. This is like someone saying they weren't going to defend their NCAA baskeball title but would instead focus on the NIT.
Man of his word
Wiggins went from being unbeatable in 2012 to Mr. Nobody in 2013. He flailed and bailed in the Giro, and distinguished himself in the build-up races by being completely indistinct. He faded from the scene, and, trust me, you will never hear from him again. He is a fragile crazypants who cannot cope with the cheating and lying required by the Brailsford doping program. His pro career is over, and we should thank him for contributing "bone idle wankers" to our lexicon.
Froome, on the other hand, has all the qualities of a top-tier level doper. He boldly proclaims his cleanness. He destroys his rivals by massive margins. He throws out wattage — 6.3 w/kg and more — that are impossible in an undoped state. Best of all, he is backed by the drug enabling quotes of Brailsford, who tosses off bizzaricisms like "At some point in time, clean performances will surpass the doped performances in the past."
That's like saying, "At some point, Formula 1 cars with no aerodynamic fairings and design will go as fast as those that are wholly aerodynamic."
It makes no fucking sense at all, based as it is on neither data nor science, but merely on the assertions of someone trying to defend an obviously doped stable of athletes.
Thankfully, VeloNews and other lickspittle cycling magazines have accepted this at face value because their advertising depends on the deluded and jaded readers who either don't know or don't care that everything produced by Team Sky flies in the face of reality and fairness. The pedestrian, non-superhuman times turned in by those who are racing against the Froomster show that although the peloton is cleaner, top honors still go to the cheater who goes biggest and who dares anyone to bust him.
At least with Lance, the winner had a cool name, attractive wristbands, and a series of good looking women permanently attached to his arm.
Lance 3.0: Lay down your cudgels, please
May 26, 2013 § 57 Comments
Newsflash: Lance Armstrong has been stripped of…pretty much everything.
Tour titles? Gone.
Reputation? Gone.
Income stream from his cancer foundation? Gone.
Ability to compete in sanctioned athletic events and the attendant income? Gone.
Mansion in Austin? Gone.
Self-respect after not getting hugged by Oprah? Totally gone.
Bonus newsflash: It's not over yet. The Justice Department has joined Floyd's whistleblower suit…former sponsors are suing to get their money back…he will be paying for his transgressions for a long, long time.
I don't know about you…
But I believe in redemption. Not the Shawshank kind — I believe in the kind of redemption that says once you've been punished for your transgressions according to rule and/or law, you're redeemed.
This type of redemption may not mean that you're a sterling moral character, or even that you admit guilt or feel sorry for what you've done. It just means that you broke the rule, got punished, and are now free to move on just like new. Something worthless has been exchanged for something useful and new. Just like a coupon.
When you murder someone, rape someone, abuse a child, defraud the elderly, skim from the company till, or run a red light, your redemption begins when you've served your time or paid your fine. Redemption means trading in the old for the new. It means a fresh start.
And in case you were wondering, along with the punishment fitting the crime, redemption is the premise upon which our entire legal system is built.
Redemption gives convicted felons the right to vote, the right to work, the right to have a passport, and the right to fully participate as citizens once they've served their time. Redemption doesn't mean you have to like the sinner or the ex-con. It just means you can't legally continue punishing and persecuting him.
Lance is no convicted felon. If you don't think he's been punished, see above. If you're still harboring resentment and anger, that's understandable. But he's not going anywhere, and I'd suggest that there's a better way to deal with him than continually bludgeoning him for his transgressions.
It's an old concept, actually. It's called forgiveness.
Cranking up the PR machine
Lance has recently begun doing what he does best: Going on the offensive. Whether it's calling Patrick Brady and chatting with him for an hour or unblocking Lesli Cohen and a bunch of other diehard Lance opponents, it's clear that he has a plan in place and has begun to execute it.
What's the plan?
The plan is to get back in front of the sports media and build Lance 3.0. This newest iteration is simple. Lance 3.0 is a…
- Survivor.
- Family man.
- World class athlete.
- Friend.
What will Lance 3.0 do? He will sell something. What will he sell? I don't know. But I do know this: He won't be setting up a pyramid scheme to defraud Medicare, or a criminal syndicate to assassinate journalists. Most likely, he's got a plan that will let him earn a living as a speaker/athlete/patient advocate.
Is that so bad? How many other people get out of prison and see their mission in life as one dedicated to helping others? Mind you, I don't know that that's his plan, but what does he have left? And why is it contemptible for him to try and rebuild a career that's been destroyed through his own mistakes?
Ultimately, though, does it really matter what his end game is? No.
What matters is you
A group of local riders were climbing Latigo Canyon Road yesterday, and guess who they met at the top? Barry Bonds.
Remember him?
He's the guy who was held up as one of the most evil and crooked baseball players of all time, a guy who stole Hank Aaron's record on the strength of drugs and lies. Today he's a slim and fit bicycle rider.
When the gang ran into him on Latigo, no one cringed, or cursed him, or called him a scumbag doper. Instead, they mugged for the camera and posted photos on Facebook.
First, of course, is star power…and we are here in LA. Second, though, is the fact that Barry has paid for what he did, and he didn't even go on Oprah and confess. We know that he was caught, that he's been punished, and that now he's just a dude on a bike who used to hit a lot of home runs. Our lives are too short to keep hating on a guy who's been punished to the full extent that the system demanded, particularly since all he seems to do now is pedal around, show up at the occasional crit, and generally act like a normal dude.
We're done with his crime, and so is he. Now we just want to say hello and ride our bikes.
What about Lance?
Lance is different from Barry because the latter earned hundreds of millions of dollars and wisely invested them over the course of a long career. Barry doesn't have to work.
Lance has five kids, huge ongoing legal bills, and a lot of years left to live. It's impossible that he's got anywhere near the pile that Barry is sitting on, or even anything close to it. Unlike Barry, Lance has gotta work. Rather than pulling up the drawbridge and living inside the fort, Lance has got to get out and mingle in order to rebuild.
For people getting out of prison and living in halfway houses, it's called "You have to get a job."
Lance showed us that pro cycling is a corrupt freak show. Danilo di Luca confirmed yesterday that it still is. Nibali, Wiggins, Dave Brailsford, Chris Froome, Pat McQuaid, Hein Verbruggen, and USA Cycling reaffirm that anyone who thinks the sport is clean isn't thinking very hard.
If you hate Lance because he "ruined the sport," maybe it's time YOU moved on. The pro sport is rotten. If you follow it and still bury your head in the jocks of its stars, there's a problem all right, and the problem is with you. If you can watch Nibali repeatedly hit the gas in the snow at the end of the most grueling stage of the most grueling stage race while his competition is rolling over and dying on the slopes, you're the one who needs to analyze my modification of this old saw: "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me over and over and over, and I'm a fucking moron who enjoys being fooled."
As Billy Stone might put it, "And the dopers ruined your life as a Cat 4 masters athlete exactly how?"
Where's it all going?
Now that Lance 1.0 and 2.0 have been airbrushed out of the history books, what's wrong with giving 3.0 the same degree of redemption that should be afforded to axe murderers, tax cheats, misdemeanor DUI's, and kids on grade probation in college? How is our agenda advanced by refusing to lay down arms, and instead insisting that he still be treated like the unrepentant, unpunished cheat that he was a year ago, when he's repented and been punished?
Does it ennoble us to keep shrieking "Off with his head!" after his head has been offed, stuck on a pike, and paraded around his kids' schoolyards? I think it does the opposite. It shows us up to be petty, vengeful dorks who actually think that pro cycling is so important it transcends common notions of justice and fair play.
Five years hence, ten years hence, Lance 3.0 will have been fully rebuilt. He's that smart and a whole lot smarter, he's that hard working, and he's that motivated. He's also got close to four million people on Twitter who want to know what he says and thinks, as well as five kids to feed, clothe, and put through college.
Most importantly, he's not going anywhere. Do you want to be the wild-eyed crazy standing in the corner screaming, "But he doped! He cheated! He lied! He ruined my Cat 4 masters racing career!" long after he's been punished and the rest of the world has moved on?
I don't.
If the UCI and USA Cycling and WADA are done with his case, then I am, too. Keep clubbing at him if you want, but don't expect me to join in. I'd rather go club some of the baby seals on next Tuesday's NPR.

Financial Integration, Globalization, Growth And Systemic Real Risk
Using data for a large number of advanced and emerging market economies during 1985- 2009, this paper documents the dynamics of financial integration and assesses whether advances in financial integration and globalization yield the beneficial real effects resulting from a more efficient resource allocation predicted by theory. The authors find that: (a) financial integration has progressed significantly worldwide, within regions, and particularly in emerging markets; (b) advances in financial integration and globalization predict higher growth, lower growth volatility, as well as lower probabilities of systemic real risk realizations.

Right behind the Scrambler and just next to the Fantastic Journey is the Borchardt family summer home. Some have summer homes in the cool of the mountains, and others along white beaches with the waves rolling in.
Paul and Paula Borchardt live just down the way from the bumper cars and not all that far from Porky the Paper Eater.
"It's very comfortable, and it's all we need,'' said Paul. "And it's a way to get an extra hour of sleep.''
That can be a precious 60 minutes when summer work hours are 7:30 a.m. to midnight seven days a week. So almost adjacent to the indoor picnic area is the administration office, and through a door of that is a comfortable living area that includes a bedroom, a former bedroom converted into an office, a living room area and an efficiency kitchen.
From April to Labor Day, it's where the president and vice president of Wonderland Amusements Inc. reside. It just comes with the amusement park territory.
"Our lifestyle is the reverse of everybody,'' Paul said, "because we work when everyone else plays. And in the daytime we still work.''
They are the caretakers, the owners, the stewards, the lifegivers of this little jewel of an amusement park at the northeast end of Thompson Park. There are no cities the size of Amarillo in Texas, and few in the country, that have a local amusement park that offers what Wonderland does.
To find something beyond the 17 acres and 27 rides and miniature golf course and assorted games, families have to go to a corporate theme park in a major metro area.
It's 56 years and counting for one family and one amusement park. Think of it like a farmer and his land. For Borchardt, who grew up on a farm in Iowa, the comparison is valid except his crops have names like Himalaya, Shoot the Chute and Cyclone.
Another slight difference: They want it to rain, but from midnight to 8 a.m. only.
"Very similar,'' he said. "It's your life. What you do makes you successful or not. We don't look at it as a job. It's our life, our blood, and we take care of it like that.''
That's the way Paul Roads felt in 1951 when he moved to Amarillo from San Angelo. A former employee for Cessna in Wichita, Kan., he got the bug to open an amusement park after listening to a spiel one day about it. He opened one in San Angelo, but there weren't enough people to support it.
He got a tip that Amarillo might be a place to try. So he and wife Aletha drove up here, saw Thompson Park, had second thoughts, and then decided to give it a try.
Kiddie Land opened with a boat ride, which is still in operation, a little car ride and the newfangled Little Dipper, which Roads built himself and used the wooden crates as the first ticket booths.
There were six rides the next year, and by the early 1960s, the place cried for a name change with bigger, more adult rides. The Roadses chose Wonderland, inspired by Alice in Wonderland.
Daughter Paula began working at age 12 running the car ride and then moved on to the concession stand and later sold tickets. When she moved on to college at the University of Oklahoma, she met and later married Paul Borchardt.
He thought he might be a Navy career officer, but after college and four years in the Navy, Borchardt came to Amarillo on July 4, 1969. He began to work for his in-laws at Wonderland. And he hasn't looked back. With his business background and his disdain for sitting behind a desk, it's been a long-running match. He became president in 1989.
While Borchardt has the dream job of a 5-year-old, the myriad challenges like repairs and maintenance, staffing and insurance, customer relations and the rising costs of electricity and water are many.
"It runs us,'' said Aletha Roads, wife of the founder. "We used to say it was like having a tiger by the tail and you couldn't let go.''
They employ 14 full-time employees, including comptroller, daughter Rebecca. A total of 135 paychecks just went out for summer employment to unpredictable teens.
But make no mistake, this is the Borchardts' baby. Wonderland is like a family member. They've watched it grow and continue to grow through good and lean times.
The park will expand in 2008 with three new rides, two of which they bought from the defunct AstroWorld. Much of the money they make goes back into the park.
Borchardt is 64, and the discussion of selling has come up, but as Paula jokes, "We don't tell people how much work is involved, or no one would ever want to buy it.''
But that won't happen for a while, and that's fine. "We don't know anything else,'' Paul said. "It's who we are.''

Love Knows No Borders, No Walls, State the American Friends Service Committee & Colorado Faith Communities
To Call for Just & Humane Immigration Reform And an End to Unjust Detention
[Aurora, CO] – On Monday, February 1, people of faith, students, community leaders and neighbors will unite at 30th Avenue and Peoria Street, the sight of Aurora's Immigrant Internment Center. They will celebrate St. Brigid, listen to the lyrical talents for three spoken word poets and the details of immigrants' disheartening wait for Congress to prioritize just and humane immigration reform. They will call on policy makers to take leadership, close the Internment Center and end the wait for millions of people to be reunited with their families. They will unite under the banner Love Knows No Borders, No Walls.
"Throughout February, we are reminded of how our Love Knows No Borders, No Walls, and in particular, on February 1, we celebrate one of the patron saints of Ireland, St. Brigid," states Seth Donovan, member of the House for All Sinners & Saints. Donovan will give the opening Prayer for St. Brigid's Day, a woman was revered for her dedication and compassion for those in distress or those who had been wronged. "Like her, we recognize the dignity of all families and communities and work to fix our broken immigration system. For these reasons, we demand an end to detention and for new immigration laws which respect human dignity."
Also, to honor this patron saint of poets, three talented lyricists will share their talents. Nationally renowned Molina Solei & Aju, joined by Maurice Ka of the Pan African Arts Society. Closing the evening's vigil with Volver, Volver, a famous Spanish love ballad to demonstrate that our thoughts are with those interned. Additionally, there will be an opportunity for everyone to sign Valentines for those interned throughout the evening.
WHAT: Prayer vigil Love Knows No Borders, No Walls
WHO: Diverse members of the faith community, poets, students
WHEN: 6:00 pm, Monday, February 1st, 2010
WHERE: Geo Detention Center, 30th Avenue and Peoria Street, Aurora, CO
DIRECTIONS: The vigil will start at the Northwest corner of 30th Avenue and Peoria Street in Aurora. Take I-70 to Peoria, head South on Peoria to 30th Avenue. We will walk from Peoria and 30th Avenue north to 31st Avenue and go West on 31st to see the expansion of the detention center. We will then walk around to the front of the detention center and say a closing prayer.

Just as a mechanic puts a car on the lift to see what is wrong with a vehicle in need of repair, Camden girls' basketball coach Natalie Jeffcoat tinkered with her team's problems during halftime of Friday's game with A.C. Flora.
In preparation for Friday night's visit from A.C. Flora, Camden head coach Ron McKie put his starting five to work by trying to break the Falcons' press which was set up by his second group.
After opening the season with three lopsided victories, the Camden High wrestling team enjoyed its biggest win of the young season, while exacting a bit of revenge in the process, in Tuesday's win over Hartsville.
After pacing their team to a third-place finish in Region 4-AAA Camden High School's Katie Tiller and Madison Hudson were named to the all-conference girls' tennis team.
Camden High School junior Clark Joseph and CHS freshman Abigail McLaughlin both qualified for Saturday's AAA state cross country championships to be contested at 9 a.m. at Clemson's Sandhills Research facility in Columbia.
As if they could not have felt any worse after a third round exit from the AAA Upper State volleyball tournament in Pickens on Monday, Camden has salt applied to its wounds when it learned that Region 4-AAA runner-up Chapin knocked off top-ranked Daniel in a match played just up the road.
CHAPIN -- Given the chance to use an escape clause, which was losing starting quarterback Josh Council with three winnable games left in the Region 4-AAA season, Camden head coach Jimmy Neal refused to play with "what if" card.
You don't become aa successful a coach as Paige Wilson is by leaving things to chance.
It would be easy for Camden and head coach Jimmy Neal to look to the heavens and ask, "Why us?"
Led by a second-place finish from Clark Joseph, the Camden High boys' cross country team finished fifth in last week's Region 4-AAA cross country championship held in Chapin.
Getting payback and the top seed for the state playoffs all in the same night: It could not get much better for the Camden High volleyball team.
Who could have blamed Westwood for looking a bit confused as they took the field for the final play of the game on Friday.
This is one game ball which Camden head coach Jimmy Neal wants the referee to return to him after the final horn sounds.
For the second time this season the Camden High girls' tennis team defeated first year school, Westwood, by a score of 6-0.

Six times, Camden drove inside the North Myrtle Beach 30 yard line --- once driving to the Chiefs' one --- and was only able to come away ...

A whole grain includes all three parts of the kernel (or seed) of the grain:
Since whole grains include all of these three parts, they're higher in fibre and have more vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients than refined grains.
A refined grain has had some or all of the germ and bran removed, leaving mostly just the endosperm. Examples include: white flour, white rice, whole wheat flour and cream of wheat cereal.
Enriched grains have had the vitamins and minerals that were lost during storage, transport or processing added back in by the manufacturer. An example of an enriched grain is white flour. In Canada, white flour must be enriched with vitamins and iron, which means that the manufacturer added in those nutrients. However, even enriched white flour is missing many of the nutrients and fibre that is found in whole grains.
Some examples of whole grains include: whole oats, brown and wild rice, barley, buckwheat, quinoa, rye, bulgur, corn and popcorn. All about Whole Grains will provide you with the details on the different grains and how to cook them.
Research shows that people who eat more whole grains may have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers. Whole grains include all three parts of the kernel and are higher in fibre, vitamins and minerals when compared to refined grains and enriched grains. You will get the greatest health benefit from eating whole grains.
Whole grains are considered more nutritious than enriched grain products since they have a higher amount of fibre and phytochemicals.
However, enriched grain products do have some health benefits because they have the nutrients lost during processing re-added back to them. For example, enriched pasta, bread, cereal and rice have iron and B vitamins added as well as folic acid.
Use the Nutrition Facts Table to compare your grain products. Use the %DV to see if your product has a little or lot of a nutrient. Watch this video to see this in action.
No, whole wheat flour or whole wheat bread cannot be considered a whole grain since part of the wheat kernel is removed. Whole wheat flour has had most of the germ and some of the bran removed.
Products labelled as 100% whole wheat or 60% whole wheat are not whole grain products. For whole wheat flour to be a whole grain, in the ingredients list you should see the words "whole grain whole wheat" or "whole wheat flour with added germ".
Choosing whole grains is easier than you think if you read food labels. Follow these two simple steps:
1. To make sure whole grains are the main ingredient, they should appear first on the ingredients list. Look for words such as:
Watch out for multigrain products, which may include a variety of different grains but may not include whole grains. Also, some foods that say on the label, "made with whole grain", may be mostly refined grain with just a little whole grain.
2. Look for higher fibre whole grains. Foods labelled "whole grain" are not always high in fibre. Check the Nutrition Facts table on package labels to find the amount of fibre per serving and choose the higher fibre products.
Canada's Food Guide suggests you make at least half of your grain product choices whole grain. Here are some ideas:

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

As ESPN NHL2K5 nears release, I am reminded of
As ESPN NHL2K5 nears release, I am reminded of
Aug 29, 2004 2:01PM PST
how great the NHL used to be. I see that Sega's new hockey game has bested EA's contribution to video game hockey this year in the reviews by a considerable margin. There's a lot of things to like in Sega's masterpiece, and I can't wait to play it. The thing is, Hockey games are supposed to be released as the real hockey season nears it's beginning. Well, that won't happen this year, because, as many of you probably don't know, the collective bargaining agreement expires in two weeks. Not since Major League Baseball's 94 lockout have players and management been this far apart on a new labor agreement. Scratch that, according to experts, the MLB 94 lockout was nothing compared to the predicted fallout of a failure to sew up an agreement for hockey. Why should you care? Well, you probably don't, and that's fine. To say that hockey has become the red headed stepchild of American sports is an understatement. I mean, this game has fallen off the radar like nothing I have ever seen. 1980 brought fans the miracle on ice, which went a long way in bringing hockey to the football and baseball loving American market. Through the 80's, fans were treated to Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and other hockey gods that galvanized this sport in the U.S. At one time, especially around the time when Mark Messier's Rangers finally won the Cup in 94, Hockey was right up there with Baseball and a little below MJ and the NBA in ratings and earnings. Then the changes began to take hold. Gary Bettmen, in his infinite wisdom, had been expanding the league. Which, at the time had been fine. But no sport has ever expanded as fast as the NHL expanded in the 90's. I'll give you a little history lesson. The San Jose Sharks entered the league in the 91-92 season. The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Ottawa Senators followed in 92-93. The following year saw the arrival of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (based on a Disney movie no less), the arrival of the Florida Panthers, and the relocation of the Minnesota Northstars to Dallas. The 94-95 season actually went on without some sort of expansion or relocation, but wait, the 95-96 season saw the Quebec Nordiques move to Colorado. The 96-97 season then saw the Winnepeg Jets move to Phoenix. In 97-98, the Hartford Whalers moved to Raleigh and became the Carolina Hurricanes. 1998-99 saw the addition of the Nashville Predators. But wait, it's not over. 99-2000 saw the arrival of the Atlanta Thrashers and a major realignment that saw, for example, Toronto's removal from the division that featured long time rivalries with Chicago, Detroit, and St. Louis. In fact, Toronto was moved to a different CONFERENCE, among other teams. Finally, in the 200-2001 season, the Minnesota Wild and the Columbus Bluejackets are introduced as the 29th and 30th teams in the NHL. So what's the count on that? Let's see: 1 realignment, 3 relocations, and 9 new teams in ten years. Do you know why the league has been completely silent for the last three or four years? Because they expanded to places like ATLANTA, NASHVILLE, ANAHEIM, FLORIDA, and relocated teams to places like PHOENIX AND DALLAS where it doesn't even freakin snow!!! Now, I'm from Chicago, not Canada. But, does it make sense to anyone that teams are leaving Canada? A place where hockey is so far and away the number one sport it's rediculous? To what, expand to American south, where hockey rates under bowling? You're going to put a winter sport in the Nascar belt? One last point on expansion. Most hockey pundits believe that the only reason why the south got so many hockey teams is because the entrance fee paid by each team was used to offset rising defecits. Wow, now why didn't that strategy work? Well, maybe because the league can't expand forever! Expansion is only one area where the NHL has failed miserably in the last ten years. The runoff of expansion has been twofold (to oversimply it). First, the talent pool has been horribly diluted. Even with the opening of Europe, this league is talent starved, and the number of all star calibur players coming up the pipeline is not all that great. Well, with the talent pool in the NHL being so spread out, this means one thing: Bigger salaries for less talented individuals. The case in point was Bobby Holik, a second line center (at best) garnering a ten million per year contract from the NY Rangers. For those of you that don't know, that's a HUGE salary for a second or third tier player. Guys like Jagr get 10 mil. Guys like Fedorov get 10 mil. It would be the equivilent of giving Deshaun Foster the same salary as Priest Holmes or giving Marty Booker the same salary as Marvin Harrison. So the league wants to shut the door on these gigantic salaries, while the players feel that they are entitled to make what the market will bear. In other words, both sides are lying. The owners would like a hard salary cap, stating that their teams are hemoraging dollars. Well, I would believe this if the NHL didn't use it's own people to audit teams. I would also believe this if owners weren't cooking their books. The NHL has charged, and many media sources have backed up this claim, that the NHL's owners are falsifying their expenses and revenues. An example comes from my lovely home of Chicago, where the Blackhawks put Steve Sullivan's box as an expense, since a player didn't have to pay for a luxory box and they didn't make money on it. Problem is, Steve Sullivan never owned a luxory box at the United Center. He has said this already when asked about it. The Blackhawks simply lied. Then we have the players point of view. They feel that they are entitled to what the market will bear, and because the owners don't seem to want to share in the wealth of concessions revenues with the players, they are prepared to walk out. Excuse me? What?! I get the idea, but the sentiment is severely flawed. First of all, if the NHL players were getting paid what the market for hockey would bear, they'd all be making less than a million dollars. The NHL owners may be cooking the books, but make no mistake, the NHL is in a VERY bad way right now. Which is what I don't understand. Analysts are already talking about which teams are going to fold (and there are about 10 candidates on that list!). So why, when the National Hockey League, and hockey in the U.S. in general, is at the nadir of it's popularity as a sport, would Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA president Bob Goodnow be so casual about meeting and trying to get this sinking ship afloat??? This isn't rocket science. The NHL has already laid off THOUSANDS of employees. Yet Bettman and Goodnow only met TWICE during the season last year, and have met once a month up until August, where they have met twice. What the HELL are these guys doing that's so friggen important that they can't meet to, I don't know, save their jobs and the jobs of everyone else in the league? If they actually had brains in their heads, they would have been meeting every day for 8 hours a day, hammering out every miniscule detail, bargaining until every option and idea was put on the table, discussed, and added or discarded to the new deal. Seriously, these guys have to go. Under Bettman's watch, the league has grown far past it's talent capacity, allowing Goodnow and his greedy players to take advantage of stupid owners who can't turn a profit to save their lives. Under Bettman's watch, the goalie pads have become enormous (seriously, check out a game from 92 versus a game from 2004, the goalies look like marshmellow men now). Under Bettman's watch, players clutch and grab, and fighting is all but censored. Under Bettman's watch, this league has gone from classy to unidentifiable. This league has gone from an era of prosperity, to an era of near death. There are rumors that new leagues will be started, that several teams will fold, that players are going to get one way tickets out of the NHL to go play in Europe or some of the other new leagues popping up. It took America's pastime almost ten years to recover from the 94 strike. And baseball was popular in the early 90's, as it had always been! Hockey is not popular right now, and some are starting to say that a strike would be the FINAL nail in the coffin of the NHL. All of this, under the watch of Gary Bettman. Now, I can't really blame one guy. The whole league has allowed this deterioriation to take place over the last ten years. But no one seems to be doing anything about it. Sure, rule changes are being discussed. Moving the blue lines, shrinking goalie pads, changing the rules for offsides etc. That's fine, but how about ensuring that there will even BE a league for these rules to take place in!?!? I am a hockey fan. I have been since I was 12. I am 24 now. I grew up watching Jeremy Roenick, Ed Belfour, Chris Chelios, and the Chicago Blackhawks. Original Six. The Indianhead. Now, the Blackhawks are virtual unknowns in their own city. Can you name five people on the Blackhawks? I can, but that's because I'm a fan. I'm one of the 3000 people (yes I said 3000) that still went to see the Hawks at the end of last year. I see this team as a reflection of the league. Now, I might not be right on all of my facts here, and there might be a lot more to this puzzle than the fans perspective, but no one can deny that the NHL is in for a VERY difficult winter. If a new CBA isn't in place by the time October rolls around, we will start to see teams fold. We will start to see more players sign one way contracts with other leagues (which has already started). We could witness the death of a North American pro sport. I don't care if you like hockey or not, but that should never ever happen. As I look forward to ESPN NHL 2K5's August 30th release date, I am reminded of all of the wonderful things about hockey. About the hard hits, the fights, the beautiful one timers, the graceful skating and passing, and the excitement of seeing a game at the United Center. Unfortunately, this year, I am also reminded of every reason why the NHL is on it's death bed. With that, this one small fan implores the mighty league bigwigs to put dollar signs by the wayside, and work together to not only ensure a 04-05 season, but a new NHL, a better NHL, an NHL that remembers it's history and what makes it so great, and an NHL that truly belongs with the other three top sports in America. An NHL that fans can be proud to watch. Sincerely, Iagofourzeroseven

Syrian opposition to attend peace conference
ISTANBUL -- The main, western-backed Syrian opposition group voted Saturday in favor of attending a coming peace conference aimed at ending the country's bloody civil war, paving the way for the first direct talks between the rival sides in the nearly three-year conflict.
The vote in Istanbul came as food supplies began entering a besieged rebel-held Palestinian refugee camp in Syria's capital for the first time in months, an apparent goodwill gesture by President Bashar Assad's government ahead of the peace conference, Palestinian and United Nations officials said.
The Coalition was under huge pressure from its Western and Arab sponsors to attend the peace talks, scheduled to open Wednesday in the Swiss city of Montreux. The Syrian government has already said it will attend the U.N.-sponsored talks.
The Coalition's leader, Ahmad al-Jarba, said in a speech that they are heading to the conference "without any bargain regarding the principles of the revolution and we will not be cheated by Assad's regime."
"The negotiating table for us is a track toward achieving the demands of the revolution -- at the top of them removing the butcher from power," Jarba said.

Want to "green" your portfolio? You can invest in mutual funds that keep an eye on the environment by owning shares in companies that, say, treat wastewater used in the "fracking" of natural gas, one of Pennsylvania's booming industries.
Pax World is just one of several mutual fund outfits that offers what's known as a "fossil fuel-free" mutual fund, one that includes investments in energy efficiency, alternative energies like solar and so-called low-carbon technologies.
Joe Keefe, president and CEO of Pax World Management, based in Portsmouth, N.H., recommends "a multipronged approach. We can't let the perfect strategy become the enemy of the good strategy."

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) - Daniel A. Cristol and Josh LeClerc don't golf.
In fact, Cristol jokes, "My handicap is 100 percent."
But the pair will hit Virginia's links this month in search of birdies - the feathered kind - for what they think is the first census of birds on golf courses.
Criston, a biology professor at the College of William and Mary, and LeClerc, a graduate student, want to learn what the golf course building boom is doing to wildlife.
"Birds, being high on the food chain, are a good indicator of everything that is happening below them," Cristol said.
"So if a golf course can support a good food chain, there will be birds at the top of it, and you can count those birds and know everything is OK."
Starting today until June 15 - peak breeding time, when birds are "singing like crazy," Cristol said - the researchers and about 100 volunteer amateur birdwatchers will spend four hours every morning on fairways, looking and listening to try to identify birds.

Fast forward to today. I am 32 weeks with my second son, and have been on bedrest for PIH since 27 weeks. I don't have Pre-e, but found out yesterday that my little one is in the 14th percentile, and I will have To do twice weekly biophysical ultrasounds. My doctor flat out told me that I am not going to make it to term. We discussed that the best thing just to be coming to the hospital for the duration of the pregnancy rather than me sitting at home being fearful about the same thing happening as last time. I could have gone home, but I want to be here. I feel calmer here, especially considering that last time I was pregnant, it was essentially too late when I came in, as he was already in distress. Dr. told me that I could do it at home, but I chose to be here because I wanted to make sure that I prevented the same thing from happening this time. I am super fearful about it. But, the other doctors in the practice don't think I should be here, and every new day people don't understand why I'm still waiting here, and think I could do this at home because I don't have preeclampsia yet and really the only thing is my PIH controlled by bedrest and my almost IUGR. I know, I am like the only person who would rather be in the hospital then at home, but it would be worth it to prevent any issue.
Am I out of my mind wanting to be here? How do I respond to nurses and doctors who think I should be at home? I'm an emotional crying mess every time they come into the room to talk to me about it, which is why I think they let me stay this far. Opinions?
