Tennessee cowboy Cody Nance is ranked third in the world title race with 2,100.83 points. He finished fifth in Columbus.
The Columbus show was a stop on the PBR's Built Ford Tough Series, which is the association's top tier tour.
The PBR has scheduled a major regular season Ford Series tour stop this weekend in Las Vegas called the Last Cowboy Standing. The performances are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, May 4-5, at the Thomas & Mack Center.
The PBR also is working in conjunction with an organization called the World Champions Rodeo Alliance, which has scheduled its first tour stop in Las Vegas on the same weekend as the Last Cowboy Standing.

De Lima, Montanha and defending PBR world champion Jess Lockwood are among the field of bull riders. Defending world champion barrel racer Nellie Miller and defending world tie-down roper Marcos Costa of Childress are also among the field of competitors.
Will McBridge clinched the title at the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's National Circuit Finals Steer Roping last weekend in Torrington, Wyo.
At last weekend's National Circuit Finals Steer Roping, McBride and Tuf Cooper (Texas Circuit) tied for first in the semifinal after each cowboy turned in a 10.2.

Jacobs Crawley, the PRCA's 2015 world champion, clinched the saddle bronc riding title after turning in a 92 aboard the renowned bronc, Maple Leaf, which is owned by Frontier Rodeo Co.
According to prorodeo.com, Crawley broke the Corpus Christi rodeo's previous arena record of 91 points that was shared by two cowboys. Bradley Harter set the score in 2009 and Rusty Wright matched him in 2016.
Maple Leaf has a reputation of helping cowboys earn higher scores. In 2013, Maple Leaf shared the PRCA Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year title with Flying 5 Rodeo's Spring Planting.

Goal Mapping is a simple system for success – yet it is so powerful that since 1995 it has benefited thousands of people. It has helped people achieve success relating to wealth, career, wellbeing, education, sport and anything else they dream of.
Goal Mapping can help you to live a better life, as it already did for thousands of people.
Throughout history, the most successful men and women have been those who developed their natural ability to set and achieve goals and transform this into a powerful skill for success. Goal Mapping is a unique whole-brain approach to setting goals that powerfully helps people achieve their targets and desires. Goal setting is a natural function of the brain. Every decision is in effect a goal, which triggers a subconscious process that transforms the decision into an action and into a result.
Becoming a master of goal setting is the first step in mastering all other things in life. Combining timeless wisdom with modern scientific breakthroughs, Goal Mapping helps people gain higher levels of conscious, concise clarity about their goals, motivations and actions.
Whereas traditional goal setting techniques focus on left–brain words and repetition, Goal Mapping uses both words and imagery, the language of the subconscious.
By creating a Goal Map, the whole of your brain is activated and your goals are imprinted in your subconscious, which then works like your personal auto-pilot to move towards the things you desire. The method of Goal Mapping is becoming the first choice for achieving success in life, business and education.
Remember: you can create a Goal Map for anything you wish. It might be about a career change, a sporting challenge or a shift in lifestyle. Or it might be about finding happiness and fulfilment.
Whether it's something fundamental or simply something fun, the key thing is to jump in and give Goal Mapping a go!
The easiest way is to attend a one-day non-residential workshop. Participants will learn through brief lecture sessions, skill practices, interactive and fun work and will receive a fully illustrated workbook.
The trainers are certified Goal Mapping practitioners with solid experience in life and business coaching in Belgium and abroad.

Over 500 young men and women had the opportunity to show off their skills and athleticism yesterday, as the Australian Rugby Union's Search for a Star took place across the country looking to identify players who may have the potential to represent their country in Rugby Sevens.
Program and development officers from state unions across the country were tasked with identifying young men and women they believed had the potential to play Rugby Sevens at an international standard – with the ultimate goal being to represent Australia in the 2016 or 2020 Olympics.
After expressing their interest online, players from varying backgrounds – sporting or otherwise - were taken through a series of tests, working on their fitness, endurance, pace and ability to tackle, catch and pass.
After camps have been completed, players will be selected to join state squads from which teams picked for the Youth Sevens National Championship to be held in March next year.
ARU Pathway Services Manager for Rugby Sevens, Dale Roberson, was extremely happy with the level of interest the camps received from across the country, in particular Sydney and Brisbane, with registration closing early due to an overwhelming amount of applicants.
Program and Development officers from up and down the country echoed Roberson's sentiments.
"Due to such large numbers, we had to split the group in two, running a session in the morning and one in the afternoon", said NSW Rugby Union Senior Development Manager, Adam Crane.
CEO of SA Rugby Lachlan Clark, was happy to see a turnout of around 35 boys and girls at the Old Collegians Rugby Club in Linden Park, noting all participants relished the opportunity to play the sport in what is essentially an AFL-dominated region.
"We had some really positive results yesterday with talented athletes emerging from rival sports. We even had an Olympic Youth Gold medalist show us her range of talents on the pitch", said Clark.
Queensland welcomed over 100 teenagers keen to prove their worth to the Sevens talent scouts. Queensland Rugby Union Development Manager, Lachlan Parkinson, believes that as many as 14 players have the potential to move up to the next level.
"There were a number of really good athletes who attended the camp on Sunday, with ten boys and four girls standing out in particular," said Parkinson.
Western Australia and Northern Queensland are set to hold their camps on the 2nd and 16th of November respectively.
For information on how to join, check out the Rugby Sevens section of the website.


Follow instructions to make cake, but use the can of coke instead of water.
Pour cake mix into bundt pan.
Pour the flan mix gently down one side of the pan. The flan will go to the bottom and the cake mix will raise up a bit as the flan mixture fills the bottom of the pan.
Set the bundt pan in a larger pan or tray with water. You are creating a double boiler, but you only need a couple inches of water.
Put it all in the oven and it will cook for at least 45 minutes and as much as an hour.
Check the cake doneness with a toothpick. The cake will stay more moist than most cakes you've ever made and you will see it separate a bit from the pan when it is done.
Let is cool and regigerate for several hours.
Take it out two hours before you plan to serve. Turn the bundt pan over and let it sit while warming to room temperature.
The bundt pan should then lift off to reveal a layer of flan, topped with carmel sitting atop a very moist cake.
Are you supposed to cover the pan with foil before baking it?
I live in Mexico and this is the real thing!!!!!!!
This looks incredible. I cannot wait to try it!
This looks amazing! I can't wait to try it at our next family function. They always expect the unexpected from me and this recipe is so unique. Thanks for posting it.
I have a friend in Guadalajara who gave me this recipe (or close to it) about a year ago. It is a family favorite and anyone who has not tried it, should...everyone will love it!

PA Democrats propose taxing tobacco products, eliminating business tax deductions to fund education
January 31, 2014 | by Rob Port
WE HAVE A PLAN: State senators unveiled their education funding proposal in Philadelphia on Thursday.
By Maura Pennington | Watchdog.org
PHILADELPHIA — New taxes on tobacco products and the elimination of tax breaks for some large companies are part of a Democratic plan to generate $1.1 billion in revenue and savings for Pennsylvania next year.
In advance of Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's budget announcement next week, Democratic state senators on Thursday unveiled a plan to direct at least $300 million in new funding towards education. The additional funding can be generated without broad-based tax increases, they promised.
Their proposal features 10 policy ideas ranging from expanding Medicaid, which would bring federal dollars back into the state, to ending the pension double-dip for charter schools.
"There's nothing in there adventurous. All very simple things," said Sen. Vincent Hughes, D-Philadelphia.
But it's not all good news for taxpayers.
A tax on tobacco products is expected to yield a $36 million boost in revenue. Moreover, according to the Democratic state senators, the "additional tax may result in healthy behaviors that will save more."
Pennsylvania is one of the few states that does not tax smokeless tobacco products like chewing tobacco. The state also does not tax cigars and has lower excise rates for cigarettes than neighboring states like New York.
"It's accepted practice," said Hughes, referring to other states' taxes on tobacco.
In other words, it's money for the taking.
The plan also includes a freeze on the phase-out of the capital stock and franchise tax, which is paid by businesses on the value of physical assets they cannot sell.
Rather than end this tax as planned in 2015, it would be kept in place, adding $75 million to the Democrats' savings proposal.
The phase-out of the tax, which is particularly loathed by the business community that sees it as double-taxation on goods they purchase, has been put on hold several times since it began more than a decade ago.
Last July, the Corbett administration agreed to a one-year freeze of the phase-out in order to generate an additional $58 million in the budget.
The senators also account for $45 million in budget savings by eliminating the vendor sales tax discount for "larger merchants," though small businesses would be exempt. The discount allows businesses to keep a percentage of the sales tax revenue they collect on behalf of the state.
As for how they want to spend that money, Senate Democrats are pressing hard on an issue at voters' hearts — their children's future. They want to use at least $300 million in new revenue to fund education.
In part, the plan puts $50 million toward tutoring and $40 million toward early learning.
Corbett is scheduled to make his budget announcement on Feb. 4. There are only 23 Democrats in the state Senate, but they are poised to push back on any cuts to schools. Republicans hold the majority with 27 members.
"It is clear that this administration from day one has lost interest in public education," said Sen. Larry Farnese, D-Philadelphia.
Republicans argue that further education cuts are not on the agenda, and early indications are that Corbett will call for increased funding for schools.
"There's no reason to expect anything other than an increase in education funding. The only real question is how much will the increase be," said Erik Arneson, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Chester.

Víctor Flores Olea (Toluca, Estado de México, 24 de agosto de 1932-Acapulco,Guerrero, 22 de noviembre de 2020) fue un profesor universitario, ensayista, narrador, autor de libros en materia política e internacional, diplomático y fotógrafo mexicano.

Estudios académicos
Estudió Derecho en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) y realizó estudios de posgrado en las universidades de Roma y París. Fue representante y consejero jurídico de políticos mexicanos de alto nivel.

Desempeño profesional

Ha sido profesor de la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales de la UNAM, en la que fue director (1970-1975). Fue embajador en la Unión Soviética (1975-1976); subsecretario de Cultura en la Secretaría de Educación Pública (1977-1978); vicepresidente de la Comisión de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos para la Unesco (1977); representante de México ante la UNESCO (1978-1982); subsecretario para Asuntos Multilaterales de la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (1982 -1988); primer presidente del Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (CONACULTA) (1988-1992) y representante de México ante la ONU (1994).

Sus fotografías se han exhibido en diversas ciudades de América y Europa. En los años cincuenta fue codirector de la Revista "Medio Siglo", de la Facultad de Derecho, y después de la revista "El Espectador", al lado de mexicanos distinguidos como Luis Villoro, Carlos Fuentes, Enrique González Pedrero, Francisco López Cámara, Jaime García Terrés y Porfirio Muñoz Ledo

Desde la década de los sesenta ha sido articulista, prácticamente sin interrupción, en las revistas Política, Siempre, y en los periódicos Excélsior, El Universal y La Jornada. Actualmente es investigador en el Centro de Investigaciones Interdisciplinarias en Ciencias y Humanidades de la UNAM, conferenciante en la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales y articulista en el periódico La Jornada.

A su paso por la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales, como profesor y Director de la misma, inició una apertura teórica internacional convocando a figuras intelectuales de la época con el objeto de discutir los problemas más importantes de ese tiempo; Herbert Marcuse, Lucien Goldman, André Gorz, Lucio Colletti, C. Wright Mills, Serge Mallet, Umberto Cerroni, Erich Fromm, Jean Whal, Laszek Kolakowski, Maurice Duverger, Karel Kosik, Ralph Milliband, Eric Hobsbawm, Rossana Rosanda, K.S. Karol, István Metzaros y muchos otros estuvieron presentes en las aulas de la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales de la UNAM en los tiempos de la Dirección de Flores Olea o de su coordinación de las actividades internacionales de la misma.

Varios estudiantes de la época, hoy profesores, sostienen que tales presencias hicieron que la FCPyS se convirtiera en un foro de discusión internacional e intelectualmente contemporánea de lo más avanzado del mundo en esas materias. Víctor Flores Olea fue fundador del Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (CONACULTA), y es señalado como uno de los internacionalistas que siguieron con mayor compromiso y acción los ejes esenciales de la tradición política mexicana de la no intervención y del respeto a la soberanía de los Estados. Llama la atención que al lado de estas abundantes actividades de dirección política, académica y cultural haya desarrollado una importante obra en el campo de la literatura y la fotografía.

En dos de sus obras últimas (Crisis de la Globalidad, FCE, 1998; Crisis de las Utopías, Anthropos, 2010), Flores Olea plantea críticamente aspectos de la globalidad actual (su economía, su política, su cultura homogeneizadora y degradante) y sobre todo la crisis que parece irreversible, del capitalismo por un lado y del "socialismo realmente existente" por el otro; y la manera en que, no obstante esos fracasos, la humanidad sigue sosteniendo la necesidad de la utopía y el principio de esperanza, como aspectos irrenunciables de la condición humana.

Fallecimiento
Murió en la ciudad de Acapulco, Guerrero, el domingo 22 de noviembre de 2020.

Commons Sense | Outdoor Ed.
I passionately believe in the benefits to providing opportunities for young people to be challenged by an outdoor experience. For outdoor education and the related search for adventure has been part of my way of life since being a Scout in my home village. This length of experience also means that I am appreciate the benefits of risk assessment and have experienced the demands of being responsible for the safety of a large group when in a remote location. To support this I do presently hold an Emergency First Response certification. The student outcome for all these outdoor experiences for me is empowerment. I want the students to be supported just enough for them to take on a greater responsibility. So that when they can take on new challenges they can really feel their own achievement.
Over the last few years I have led a number of International Award for Young People trips and also provided advanced training in key skills such as map reading and camp cooking.
These have included several bronze award hiking expeditions in Khao Yai National Park which has involved trekking through the jungle, walking past elephants and overnight camping, in some memorably wet conditions.
I have led a 3 day/2 night white water rafting expedition on Thailand's "Best" White Water River -the Name Wa. Those students that successfully navigated all of the 56 named rapids, during the 50kms descent used it as the expedition component of their silver award.
I have also cycled across Thailand. This was done by twice being the responsible teacher for gold award expeditions. Once travelling from Phuket to Phang Nga town and the following year going from Phang Nga town to Surat Thani.
Most recently I took part in a special forces training weekend with a group of other likeminded teachers. I don't expect to have to eat fresh snake or forward repel or complete another "Special Forces" obstacle course anytime in the near future. However, I was yet again, reminded why challenging yourself can be so richly rewarding, especially when with friends.


Internal radiation therapy is a form of treatment where a source of radiation is put inside your body. One form of internal radiation therapy is called brachytherapy. In brachytherapy, the radiation source is a solid in the form of seeds, ribbons, or capsules, which are placed in your body in or near the cancer cells. This allows treatment with a high dose of radiation to a smaller part of your body. Internal radiation can also be in a liquid form. You receive liquid radiation by drinking it, by swallowing a pill, or through an IV. Liquid radiation travels throughout your body, seeking out and killing cancer cells.Brachytherapy may be used with people who have cancers of the head, neck, breast, uterus, cervix, prostate, gall bladder, esophagus, eye, and lung. Liquid forms of internal radiation are most often used with people who have thyroid cancer or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. You may also get internal radiation along with other types of treatment, including external beam radiation, chemotherapy, or surgery.
What happens before my first internal radiation treatment?
You will have a 1- to 2-hour meeting with your doctor or nurse before you begin internal radiation therapy. At this time, you will have a physical exam, talk about your medical history, and maybe have imaging tests. Your doctor will discuss the type of internal radiation therapy that is best for you, its benefits and side effects, and ways you can care for yourself during and after treatment. You can then choose whether to have internal radiation therapy.
How is brachytherapy put in place?
Most brachytherapy is put in place through a catheter, which is a small, stretchy tube. Sometimes, it is put in place through a larger device called an applicator. When you decide to have brachytherapy, your doctor will place the catheter or applicator into the part of your body that will be treated.
What happens when the catheter or applicator is put in place?
A type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor. Also called brachytherapy, internal radiation therapy, and radiation brachytherapy.

Corruption in Macedonia still rampant - courts inefficient
The rate of corruption in Macedonia is still high, mainly because of dependability and inefficiency of courts, said the Transparency International HQ coordinator in Berlin, Jana Mittermeier at today's workshop set up by Zero Corruption in Skopje.
Mittermeier arrived in Macedonia on a monitoring mission of the Macedonian NGOs.
"The corruption is a serious problem in Macedonia, which means the battle against this negative phenomenon has to continue", Mittermeier said, expressing support to Zero Corruption's activity.
The statement of the representative of Transparency International for South East Europe and Asia was positively appraised by Slagjana Taseva, the President of the Zero Corruption's Programme Council, who expressed hopes that her organization will return soon within the Transparency International.
The participants of today's workshop dedicated to the corruption in the private and public sector, singled out the corruptive activities in the public procurement sector.
"The audit reports indicate that Macedonia is a reach country, but the problem lies in irrational expenditures", the Chief State Auditor Dragoljub Arsovski said, pointing out at public procurements in health sector as the most vulnerable area.
"Non-transparency in unsealing of the offers and the failure of the high posts holders to even read out the commissions' reports are the biggest problems", said Zivko Temelkovski, an expert in public procurements.
According to professor Borce Davitkovski, the solution for the public procurements should be sought in adoption of an Ethic Code.
"A moral condemnation as well as sanctions should be included in the future Ethic Code", he said.
He pointed out at the England's Code of Ethics, which contain as much as 450 pages, envisaging sanctions against those who violate the rules.

CORVALLIS -- With his brother James watching from the sidelines in crutches for the second straight game, out for the season with an injured knee, Jacquizz Rodgers looked like he had his mind set on making enough explosive plays for two Rodgers brothers in Oregon State's must-win home contest against Cal.
And right from the start, the speedy and deceptive playmaker they call Quizz had his fingerprints all over the Beavers' first three possessions. After less than 20 minutes of play, Rodgers had already churned up the turf en route to 85 yards rushing, 2 touchdowns on the ground and another score through the air on a well-executed halfback pass to carry his team to a commanding 21-0 early-game lead.
Rodgers finished the game with an impressive 119 yards, 3 rushing touchdowns and 1 passing touchdown, as OSU picked up a big 35-7 win over the Cal Golden Bears to remain tied for second place in the Pac-10. But Rodgers wasn't the only player in orange and black who impressed the crowd of 45,439 that showed up at Reser Stadium despite dreary conditions for the school's annual homecoming game.
Ryan Katz once again completed a solid 20 of 28 pass attempts for 184 yards, 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions, and seven OSU receivers got their hands on the pigskin, led by Marcus Wheaton's 6 grabs for 57 yards. It was the Beaver defense, however, that really dominated the flow of the game, holding Cal scoreless until a garbage time touchdown with 20 seconds remaining.
It was all OSU early and often, as Joe Halahuni followed up the three Rodgers-led scoring drives with a 17-yard TD snag of his own in the second quarter, complements of a nice pass from Katz. Meanwhile, a smothering and swarming Beaver defense didn't allow the Golden Bear offense to pass midfield the entire half, resulting in a commanding 28-0 lead after two quarters of play. Rodgers made it into the end zone one more time early in the third quarter for the only OSU score of the second half.
The Beavs looked lean, mean and hungry for a win after a disappointing overtime loss to Washington two weekends prior, and essentially slammed the door shut on any hopes of a Cal comeback before the band came out on the field for the halftime show.
Oregon State hits the road next weekend to take on UCLA at 4 pm in a game that will be broadcast on Versus.
Oregon defends its ranking, 42-31
Ducks force 7 turnovers in desert heat
TEMPE, Ariz. - The air let out of its pounding running game, No. 5 Oregon switched gears to a big-play passing offense.
That shrink-the-field defense? No adjustment needed there.
Darron Thomas threw for 260 yards and two scores, and Oregon forced seven turnovers to pull away in the second half for a 42-31 win over Arizona State Saturday night in the Pac-10 opener for both teams.
"You see that the defense came out in the second quarter and played an awesome game, helped us out on offense," Thomas said. "We never no doubt that we weren't going to put up points."
Arizona State (2-2) held the nation's second-leading rushing team to 145 yards - 235 below its average - and used its up-tempo offense to build a 10-point lead late in a first half.
Oregon (4-0) rallied behind Thomas' arm, scoring two touchdowns in the final 2:21 and blowing it open with two more scores in the third quarter.
Thomas, who replaced dismissed starter Jeremiah Masoli in the offseason, had a four-touchdown first half against Portland State last week and added more big plays against Arizona State. He threw for 260 yards and TD passes to Josh Huff and Jeff Maehl while the running game stalled through the first three quarters.
That part was a bit of a surprise; Thomas is known more for his running abilities.
"They forced us to do some things, but I thought Darron made some plays when he really had to," Oregon coach Chip Kelly said.
The ballhawking defense simply did what it always does.
The national leader in total and scoring defense, Oregon gave up plenty of yards: 597, Arizona's most since 2000.
The Ducks just made the plays when they had to, recovering three fumbles and intercepting Steven Threet four times, including three in the fourth quarter as Arizona State kept trying to come back.
"You can't win if you turn the ball over seven times, plain and simple," said Threet, who threw for 387 yards and three touchdowns. "There's no other way to put it."
Oregon passed one road test by knocking off Tennessee and faced what figured to be a tougher one against an improved Arizona State team. On top of that, it was unusually hot, even for the desert: 100 degrees at kickoff. Even the sauna-like practice sessions early in the week could prepare the Ducks for that.
Arizona State went right at Oregon from the start, missing a field goal on its first possession and scoring on the second when Deantre Lewis flashed a burst of speed at the Ducks on the way to a 53-yard touchdown.
Then poof! The lead was gone.
LaMichael James scored 64 seconds later, taking the left corner and taking off, leaving a trail of Arizona State defenders in his wake for a 40-yard touchdown. Three plays later, Threet threw off his back foot as he was being hit and was intercepted by John Boyett, who returned it 39 yards for a touchdown and a 14-7 Ducks' lead.
Arizona State didn't back down, at least not yet.
Threet hit Mike Willie on an on-the-run, on-the-money 10-yard touchdown, then Thomas Weber hit a 34-yard field goal. Threet followed with a double-teaming-splitting 28-yard touchdown pass to Kerry Taylor to put Arizona State up 24-14, one play after Omar Bolden intercepted Thomas.
Still not good enough; Oregon absorbed the blows and got back to doing what it does best, scoring quickly.
The Ducks moved 80 yards in 83 seconds their next drive for Maehl's diving 12-yard touchdown catch. Next drive, after the D held, was even quicker: three plays, 80 yards, 30 seconds, set up by a 61-yard reception by David Paulson and capped by Thomas' TD run.
Oregon, after all those big plays and momentum swings, led 28-24 at the half.
"We had them in our back pocket," said Willie, who had five catches for 74 yards. "We could have put them away. We let them back in with a couple of turnovers, and you can't give a good team opportunities. We gave them some opportunities and they turned it up."
The Ducks kept on the gas in the third quarter, scoring on a pump-faking 54-yard pass from Thomas to Huff and Boseko Lokombo's 32-yard fumble return on a sideways pass the Sun Devils thought was an incomplete pass.
Trailing 42-24, Threet tried to rally the Sun Devils, hitting Willie on a 15-yard touchdown pass. It turned out to be Arizona State's last chance; Lewis lost a fumble on the next drive and Threet had three passes intercepted in Oregon's side of the field in the fourth quarter.
"We kind of weathered the storm, Kelly said.
Like they always do.
Beavers suffer another tough loss
Boise State makes another statement
BOISE, Idaho - The noise was everywhere for Boise State. The Broncos faced another so-called statement game on national television, this time with the pregame show held right on their blue turf.
The distractions didn't get to Kellen Moore, who showed that with him at the helm the No. 3 Broncos can overcome a flawed performance. Especially at home.
Boise State floppy-haired quarterback saw his Heisman Trophy stock rise Saturday night. Moore completed 19 of 27 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns, Doug Martin rumbled for 138 yards and the Broncos overcame a litany of special teams miscues and penalties to hold off No. 24 Oregon State 37-24.
"This seems like it's been a long day, a long day. I think the good thing about this game is we were able to come out with a 'W.' But I think everybody in the locker room knows how hard we made it on ourselves," Boise State coach Chris Petersen said. "At times we were very, very frustrated with ourselves, with just some really costly penalties. I think our special teams play we need to tight up a little bit.
But, he added, "We're proud of our guys. We know they hear the noise out there."
Kicking off just eight hours after the popular ESPN show College GameDay broke down its stage that sat at the 40-yard line on the blue turf, the Broncos (3-0) got away with their mistakes, but as always the question is did they look dominant enough to impress poll voters.
Boise State's student section started chanting "B-C-S" in the final minute, but blowouts are what will be expected in the coming weeks as the Broncos reach the soft section of their schedule.
"I think we really don't care," Moore said. "It's three games out of 12. This is only a fourth of the season. It's a long way. We've got a lot of football to take care of."
The critics are likely to come out after Boise State failed to pull away from the Beavers, maybe the most talented team left on the Broncos' schedule. Still, Boise State ran its home winning streak to 57 straight in the regular season and picked up their third straight win over a Pac-10 school in what will likely be its last game against a ranked team until at least November.
Moore was the catalyst as usual. His most impressive moment came in the first half when he spun away from the sack attempt of Oregon State's Brandon Hardin, then hit Austin Pettis for 26 yards, part of the 235 yards Moore threw for in the first half.
But Martin was the closer for Boise State. He had 119 yards in the second half, touching the ball on eight of nine plays on Boise State's final drive that ate up more than seven minutes and led to Kyle Brotzman's clinching 30-yard field goal.
Austin Pettis caught a 17-yard TD pass - this time without the somersault that landed him in Petersen's doghouse a week ago - and threw a 6-yard TD pass off a reverse to Tommy Gallarda in the first quarter.
The Oregon State (1-2) combo of Jacquizz and James Rodgers never got started offensively, even though James returned a punt 54 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter - the first punt return score of his career.
Jacquizz Rodgers was held to 46 yards on 18 carries and a 4-yard TD run in the third quarter. James Rodgers was knocked out by an apparent concussion early in the third quarter while blocking on a scramble by quarterback Ryan Katz. Rodgers and Boise State safety Winston Venable collided helmet-to-helmet.
"I asked him how he was doing and he couldn't even find his helmet. He got his bell rung but I don't know anything beyond that," Beavers coach Mike Riley said. "He's obviously a big part of what we can do. We always expect the next guy to come in there and make some plays. It wasn't pretty execution wise."
Boise State led 24-10 at halftime and 31-17 early in the third quarter. Yet the countless mistakes by the Broncos kept Oregon State hanging around when they were statistically dominated.
The Broncos outgained Oregon State 469-237. Moore's numbers were nearly double that of Katz, who completed 12 of 26 passes for 159 yards.
"They were shooting the gaps a lot and keeping the pressure on us," Katz said. "They have a really fast defense and that gave us a lot of problems."
The counterbalances were Boise State's eight penalties, poor coverage on special teams and one big turnover.
"We made some kind of bonehead plays and kept them in the ball game," Boise State's Ryan Winterswyk said.
Down 24-10 in the third, Jacquizz Rodgers scored from the 4, slipping through the tackle of George Iloka at the line of scrimmage, finishing a drive kept alive by two personal foul penalties against Boise State.
Titus Young fumbled an Oregon State punt early in the fourth deep in Boise's end. That was followed by one of the wackier TDs scored on the blue turf when Joe Halahuni recovered the fumble of teammate Darrell Catchings in the end zone for a Beavers touchdown. Catchings caught an ill-advised throw from Katz that should have been intercepted by Jeron Johnson, fumbled as he dove to the goal line, but Halahuni was the only player in the area.
Ducks run over Viks, 69-0
Oregon scores early and often in another rout
Associated Press report
EUGENE - LaMichael James ran for 227 yards on 14 carries with two touchdowns and fifth-ranked Oregon easily defeated Portland State 69-0 Saturday in the Ducks' final tuneup before Pac-10 play.
Oregon set a school record with 528 yards rushing, surpassing the mark 465 set at Washington in 2007.
Darron Thomas completed nine of 18 passes for 140 yards and four scores in the victory, Oregon's 11th straight at Autzen Stadium in a streak dating back to 2008.
The Ducks (3-0) sat most of their starters after the first half to give the reserves some work before Oregon visits Arizona State next weekend. Oregon outscored its opponents 189-13 in nonconference play.
The Vikings (2-1) of the FCS Big Sky Conference got as close as the Oregon 13 in the fourth quarter but the Ducks stopped them on fourth-and-1.
The Vikings also got close enough in the first half to give Zach Brown a 52-yard field goal attempt, but it went wide left in the miserably damp conditions.
Oregon is 4-0 all-time against the Vikings. With Saturday's loss, Portland State falls to 0-10 against the Pac-10 after a season-opening loss to Arizona State.
The Vikings, under first-year coach Nigel Burton, had no answer James, who had his 11th career game with at least 100 yards rushing.
James rushed for 1,546 yards last season to set a new Pac-10 freshman record. He was kept out of this season's opener against New Mexico while he served a one-game suspension for offseason misconduct. James pleaded guilty to misdemeanor harassment charges after an altercation with his ex-girlfriend.
James returned last weekend in Oregon's 48-13 victory at Tennessee, rushing for 134 yards and a score. In two games this season, he has gained 361 yards.
Fellow sophomore Thomas also continued his development after taking over as Oregon's starter this season. Thomas and fifth-year senior Nate Costa competed for the job in fall camp after last season' starter, Jeremiah Masoli, was dismissed in the offseason.
Thomas has shown he can scramble in coach Chip Kelly's spread offense, and some have even compared him to former Duck Dennis Dixon. Against the Vikings he gained 50 yards.
Conner Kavanaugh completed 8 of 21 passes for 18 yards in the Vikings' new pistol offense, where the running back lines up behind the quarterback. Portland State had just 140 yards total offense compared to Oregon's 668.
Burton took over this season at Portland State from Jerry Glanville, who was popular with players and fans alike but largely unable to help his team win. Portland State went 9-24 in three seasons under the gregarious former NFL coach.
The Vikings are 2-27 against Football Bowl Subdivision teams, defeating New Mexico 17-6 in 2006 and Hawaii 45-20 in 2000.
Oregon reported that three players left the game with muscle strains: backup running back Kenjon Barner, tight end David Paulson and left tackle Darrion Weems. The Ducks were not specific about the injuries to the three starters, but it did not appear that any were serious.
Beavers survive early lethargy, beat Louisville
OSU gets its first win of the season, 35-28
By Jeremy Lloyd, oregonsports.com
Two weeks ago at this time the Beavers were battling it out with No. 4 TCU in the spectacle that is Cowboys Stadium, and a week from today, they'll face perhaps an even tougher opponent on the smurf turf at No. 3 Boise State. So it was understandable, I suppose, when Oregon State found themselves tied at 14 with an unranked and unheralded Louisville team with 3:38 to go in the first half. After all, between looking forward and looking back, this is a team with a lot on their minds.
The first Louisville score came on a draw from QB Adam Froman (where have you seen that before, Beaver fans?), capping a drive that was a bit too quick and easy. But it could have been worse—not more than a few minutes earlier, Froman had fumbled the ball out of the end zone for a touchback. The Beavs responded quickly with a 9-play, 83-yard drive, orchestrated nicely by a confident looking QB Ryan Katz and capped by a 13-yard TD run from Jacquizz Rodgers. But then Louisville came right back with another efficient drive of their own to tie it up. Had Froman not fumbled on his first foray into the end zone, the Cardinals would have put up as many points at halftime as TCU did just two weeks earlier.
OSU was able to drive and score again before the half on the strength of a 63-yard kick return from James Rodgers to make it 21-14, but the underwhelming first half performance begged the question: The Beavers were physically in Corvallis, but mentally had they already boarded the plane for Boise?
It's a relevant query, because this is a season where OSU can't afford to go through the motions or look ahead to a big matchup, be it Boise State next week or the Civil War three months from now. Oregon State has athletic playmakers on both sides of the ball, a burgeoning young quarterback and a stout defense that held the high octane TCU offense to a single second-half touchdown.
The Beavers are a team that has always gotten up for big games, most notably two upset wins over USC in recent years. But if they really want to achieve the status of college football's elite this season, they will have to bring it every minute of every game. It's a mindset of dominance, and all top notch programs have it ingrained in their collective DNA. Maybe his type of mindset won't mean the difference between a win or a loss against a middle of the pack Big East team, but it certainly could be the difference between a fourth place finish in the Pac-10 and a chance to upset Oregon in the Civil War to earn a trip to the Rose Bowl.
That's right, I said it: This could be a special season for the Beavers. I believe it's possible, and you may too, but does this team? You can see this belief manifest itself on the field when a superior team squashes an inferior opponent like an annoying insect, and the Beavs just didn't have it.
Of course we all know how this story ends. Oregon State dominates the second half, puts up a bunch of points and wins with ease, right? Right?!? Well, not exactly. The Beavs put together two quick and efficient scoring drives of less than a minute and a half each to make it 35-14 with 9:28 to go in the 3rd quarter. But then Katz got knocked around, the offense faltered, the defense caved, and Louisville came right back with two scoring drives of their own to make it a 35-28 single score affair with just over 13 minutes to play in the game.
Please place your seat backs and tray tables in their upright position and get ready for takeoff… It's 60 degrees and partly sunny in Boise. Thank you for flying Mental Departure Airlines, OSU football.
After a series of stalled drives and punts by both teams, Oregon State faced the unthinkable: Louisville ball with 1:33 to play and a chance to drive 93 yards for a touchdown and the tie, or go for 2 and win the game. Ironically, OSU found themselves in this very same position against TCU, backed up against their own end zone with 4 minutes to play and a golden opportunity for an upset. We all know how that went—the ball was snapped over Katz' head for a safety to squash the OSU comeback attempt.
But on this drive, Froman had the Cardinals at midfield before you could blink. In the end, it took an athletic interception by James Dockery to seal the deal for the Beavers and avoid disaster on their home turf.
If you pick up the postgame box score, you'll see that Jacquizz Rodgers had a nice 132-yard, 2-touchdown performance, and you might notice that Katz once again took care of the ball with 2 touchdowns and no interceptions—a good sign for a young quarterback. But the Beavers' failure to put away an inferior opponent early at home, at least juxtaposed against the lofty aspirations of the program and its fan base, was a disappointment.
Soon OSU will get its wish—a real, not imaginary, trip to play Boise State—and you can bet that unlike this game, they'll be up for it. But winning habits aren't just formed during big games; it's also in how you scrimmage, how you run drills, how you prep for gameday, and yes, how you play a team like Louisville. The Beavers may have won the battle today, but they took a step back in their war to break into the ranks of college football's elite.
So keep your seatbelts fastened, OSU—it's a bumpy ride to the top.
Ducks handle Vols after slow start
Ducks strike quick after lightning delay
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – When Tennessee started slowing down, LaMichael James and his Oregon teammates picked up the pace.
James ran for 134 yards, including a 72-yard touchdown, in his first game back after a one-game suspension, and No. 7 Oregon scored 45 consecutive points to beat Tennessee 48-13 on Saturday night.
The Pac-10's leading returning rusher had only 27 yards at halftime after being targeted by the Volunteers' defense for the entire first half. He rushed for 25 yards on five carries in the Oregon's first second-half drive and then broke several tackles on the 72-yard touchdown run on the first play of the subsequent drive for the Ducks (2-0).
James, who rushed for a Pac-10 freshman record 1,546 yards in 2009, returned to action after serving his suspension for an offseason misdemeanor harassment charge.
Tennessee (1-1) went up 13-3 in the first half after an hour-long delay for lightning but fell apart after James' long run.
"We didn't make any adjustments in the second half," James said. "It comes down to tempo. Once the tempo gets going, it's hard to stop. Once those guys got tired we kept rolling."
Only fans in green and yellow remained in Neyland Stadium by the time Oregon was done scoring the most points by a Tennessee opponent there since Florida beat the Vols 59-20 in 2007. It was the most points by a nonconference opponent since Washington State, another Pac-10 school, won 52-24 in 1988.
The Vols were penalized for having an ineligible receiver on one play and a false start on another. A pass by Matt Simms intended for Zach Rogers was cleanly picked off by Cliff Harris, who returned it 76 yards for another score to give Oregon a 27-13 lead with 6:27 left in the third quarter.
"I was real disappointed from then on with how we competed," Tennessee coach Derek Dooley said. "You would have thought we were down 40."
Simms, who completed 15 of 29 for 151 yards, struggled to connect with his receivers. Tauren Poole and David Oku couldn't get their footing, and the Vols picked up only three more first downs.
Oregon plays host to Portland State, which won its first game under rookie coach Nigel Burton on Saturday, Saturday at Autzen Stadium.
Barner, Harris used their prime time well
But it's back to No. 2 this week
By Don Smalley, oregonsports.com
Kenjon Barner rushed for a career-high 147 yards and four touchdowns. He also scored his fifth on a 60-yard screen pass.
Cliff Harris tied Oregon's SEASON record for punt returns for a touchdown when he went to the house twice in the second quarter in the 72-0 rout of New Mexico Saturday.
Despite those phenomenal performances, the two are exactly who they are.
Backups.
Barner will go back to being the backup tailaback this Saturday as LaMichael James will regain his starting job as the Ducks will travel to Tennessee to face the Vols in Knoxville.
As for Harris, he's going back to backup duty on punt returns. Barner is the starter at that position.
"People want to put the guys in places where they just are not," head coach Chip Kelly said in his Tuesday press conference. "Returning two punts when it's 42-0 is great, but he's (Harris) still the backup. That's not a slight on Cliff. I love Cliff Harris. But we have one of the best returners in the nation in Kenjon. Just ask UCLA and Ohio State about that.
Barner will see plenty of time on the natural grass field of Neyland Stadium Saturday, but when you have a 1,500-plus-yard rusher returning from a one-game suspension, the depth chart will return to normal.
"LaMichael is the starter," Kelly said. "It's just like he is coming back from an injury."
Oregon will practice inside the Moshofsky Center all week at 86 degrees and 60 percent humidity, the exact forecast for the game in Knoxville.
The Ducks will also pump in as much crowd noice as possible, opening up with Tennessee's fight song, "Rocky Top."
The game is set to kickoff at 4 p.m. PST and televised on ESPN2.
Vikings show grit in loss to Arizona State
PSU gets three field goals from Zach Brown
TEMPE, Ariz. - Portland State took one on the chin in its season-opener losing to Arizona State, 54-9, on a 100-degree night at Sun Devil Stadium.
The Vikings got off to a good start, forcing Arizona State to a three-and-out on the Sun Devils' first possession. Then, starting quarterback Connor Kavanaugh drove PSU to a 42-yard field goal and a quick 3-0 lead.
ASU running back Cameron Marshall answered with a pair of long touchdown runs of 50 and 38 yards. The Sun Devils tacked on a safety and led 16-3 at the end of the first period.
Viking kicker Zach Brown kicked a career-long 53-yard field goal in the second period, pulling PSU within 16-6.
ASU added two more scores before halftime to take a 30-6 lead into the locker room. Marshall had just four carries in the first half, but they went for 104 yards and three touchdowns.
The Sun Devils defense, tops in the Pac-10 in 2009 and expected to be just as good this year, shut down the Vikings, allowing just 83 yards by halftime. Meanwhile ASU, ran up 341 yards of offense.
Following a quick ASU touchdown in the third period, Brown came back with another field goal - this time from 47 yards. It came after the Vikings' biggest play of the game, a 62-yard pass from Kavanaugh to Ray Fry.
But ASU's speed was too much on both sides of the ball as the Sun Devils eased to the win and ended a six-game losing streak.
Arizona State outgunned the Vikings 553-263 on offense as each team ran 66 plays. The Sun Devils had the element of the big play that the Vikings did not possess.
Kavanaugh completed 12-23 passes for 146 yards. Tygue Howland completed 6-14 passes for 63 yards and two interceptions.
The Vikings managed just 54 rushing yards against the Sun Devils speedy defense.
"We knew it was going to be a challenge," said Viking Coach Nigel Burton. "Arizona State has a great defense. They have got some guys.
"With a guy like Connor Kavanaugh, he is used to being able to escape the pocket. He can see a linebacker, shake him down and go. He wasn't able to pull away from these guys."
Brown's three field goals made him the star of the game as he now has made 21-28 in his 12-game Viking career.
Junior cornerback DeShawn Shead made six tackles, had two for losses and a sack. Sophomore linebacker Joel Sisler had an interception.
Katz gets a lifetime of education in four quarters
OSU's new starter at QB nearly pulls off a remarkable win
Imagine you're OSU sophomore quarterback Ryan Katz. Only a handful of days ago you were at practice back home in Corvallis, secure in the non-contact bubble that a red jersey provides and giddy with anticipation for your first college start. Now flash forward to this Saturday night. The red jersey has been replaced with a figurative target on your back, you're down 7, 4:18 to go in the game, backuped up at your own 10, in Cowboys Stadium, the biggest spectacle in all of sports, and the #6 team in the country is getting ready to bring the pain.
It's times like these that can unnerve even the coolest of veterans, let alone a guy who had thrown all of 27 passes in his career--all in garbage time. So what do you do? Katz freaked out and tried to call an audible--something he hadn't attempted all game--frantically motioning to his backs and receivers as the play clock ticked down, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6... When it hit 5, the center, obviously confused by all the commotion, snapped it over Katz' shoulder, forcing the QB to kick it through the back of the end zone for a safety, and effectively ending the game.
Lesson #1 of a young quarterback's career: Don't freak out, or your teammates will do the same. Write that one down, kid. And while you're at it, get a bigger notebook, because there will be plenty more lessons to come. But these are the lessons, if put into proper perspective, that can give a figidy young QB nerves of steel when the moment presents itself again. After all, what's the worst that could happen, giving up a safety down 7 with the game on the line? Been there, done that.
When it was all over the scoreboard read TCU 30, OSU 21, with Katz completing only a pedestrian 9 of 25 pass attempts for 159 yards and 2 touchdowns. But there were also some bright spots in the kid's play--including a perfect ball to a streaking Jordan Bishop in the second quarter to put the Beavs up 14-7--that make you think he has both the arm and touch to get the job done for OSU in Pac-10 play. A solid quarterback next to the talented Rodgers brothers and a defense that always seems to get the job done (Saturday's performance excluded) could make for a very interesting Pac-10 season.
So take your medicine, kid, learn your lesson and get ready for the next game. After all, it doesn't get any easier--Boise State is only three weeks away.
Oregon scores 72 in win over New Mexico
Barner makes running back the next backfield question
EUGENE – The Oregon Ducks swept away an off-season of discontent with a resounding victory to open the college football season Saturday at Autzen Stadium.
Kenjon Barner and Darron Thomas seamlessly filled the roles of running back and quarterback and No. 11 Oregon routed New Mexico 72-0 in a non-conference game.
With running back LaMichael James suspended for a game, Barner scored five touchdowns, four on the ground and another via a pass from Thomas. He ran for a career-high 147 yards as Oregon racked up a school-record 720 yards in total offense.
Thomas completed 13 of 23 passes for 220 yards and two scores in his debut as starter after the dismissal of incoming senior Jeremiah Masoli earlier in the year.
The Ducks wiped away the summer's issues by tying a team record for points.
"I guess it says a lot," said Barner, whose play now makes the starting role at running back an issue. "Numbers don't lie."
Oregon's point total tied the Autzen Stadium record the Ducks set in 1999 against Nevada. The most points Oregon has ever scored is 115, against Puget Sound back in 1910.
New Mexico was also looking for a fresh start. The Lobos were 1-11 last season under coach Mike Locksley, who had an altercation with a former assistant and was named in a sexual harassment complaint.
But the Lobos, who managed just 107 total yards on offense, were no match for last year's Pac-10 champions. B.R. Holbrook made his debut as New Mexico's starter, and completed just 11 of 24 passes for 70 yards with two interceptions.
Barner subbed for James because the running back was suspended for a game after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor harassment charge that stemmed from a conflict with an ex-girlfriend.
Last season James grabbed national attention by rushing for a team-high 1,546 yards, setting a new record for freshmen in the Pac-10. He averaged 6.7 yards and added 14 TDs to earn the league's freshman of the year honors.
James watched from the sideline Saturday wearing an "O" T-shirt and khaki shorts. He will return to the Ducks next weekend when they visit Tennessee.
Also a return specialist, Barner had 1,553 all-purpose yards last season. He had 225 against New Mexico, and his one catch was a 60-yard catch and run from Thomas in the second quarter.
"I've been saying all along, I think he's the most underrated player in the country," Oregon coach Chip Kelly said. "Today he got a chance to shine. We've always felt that we've had 1A and 1B. We run the ball 40 times a game; one guy is not going to get all the carries."
Standing in for Barner on the return team was Cliff Harris, who returned two punts for touchdowns, an Oregon record for one game.
Masoli had been expected to lead the Ducks at QB this season, but he was accused in a fraternity house theft in January and wound up pleading guilty to a burglary charge. Kelly finally kicked him off the team when he was stopped by police for a traffic violation and marijuana was found in the car.
Masoli has since gone to play at Mississippi, which was upset by Jacksonville 49-48 in double overtime Saturday.
Thomas played in five games as a true freshman in 2008, completing 16 of 33 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns. Called upon when Oregon was hit by a slew of injuries, Thomas came close to leading the Ducks to a come-from-behind victory against Boise State that season before redshirting in 2009.

It seems that true elegance reveals itself in nature so often. Today I was watching a swan glide effortlessly across the calm water with such gracefulness and beauty. It seemed removed from all of the worries of life we endure; when in fact, it faces far more true dangers. And I have seen these elegant birds fight with extreme resolve when threatened. Still it reminds me that how we handle ourselves confirms everything about our character.

Since its inception in 1993 European Bike Express has offered the best way into Europe for you and your bike with a unique and flexible service. The regular service offers you the opportunity to get off at any of our continental points, create your own itinerary for your holiday and be picked up at another point so long as it coincides with our timetable (Please CLICK HERE for timetable if required). Alternatively you can travel one way.
At European Bike Express we offer a service which has been built using customer interaction, discussing feedback from regular customers over the years as well as incorporating ideas from new customers. In our view, your comments allow us to offer tried and tested areas for your cycle tour as well as providing safe and efficient transport for you and your cycle.
Bike Express offers six routes, which enable itineraries throughout France, Northern Spain and into Germany and Switzerland. As an alternative we offer a Fixed Base Holiday in Rosas on the Costa Brava in Spain. The excellent cycling opportunities alongside the comfort and enjoyment of the Hotel Marian Platja have proved to be a huge success with our clients since its introduction in 2006.
While we know that touring is a very acceptable form of pleasure, we also know that some enjoy cycling with the comfort of a fixed base. The Fixed Based Holiday option blends the beauty of cycling with guaranteed comfort and enjoyment. To cycle alongside lagoons, enjoy historic architecture and capture the warmth of the sun adds comfort to the fact you are being cared for in very comfortable accommodation. Many customers are already aware of the fantastic cycling opportunities in Spain and especially around the nature reserves and typically Spanish villages who boast about their relaxed hospitality. If you are a Cycling UK member you can request the cycling routes for this area from them.
The Hotel Marian Platja is on the sea front with the beautiful bay of Roses view in the Sea View Rooms at the front of the Hotel. There is a swimming pool, tennis courts, free wi-fi, evening entertainment and the staff are most welcoming. You can also rent a safe from the reception. They also offer a compressor for quickly inflating bike tyres and bike washing facilities for the end of the day. The bike rooms are also alarmed from 21:00 to 07:00 however if you are particularly keen and want to make an early start (or even a late finish), you can arrange for the receptionist to come and let you in.
Santa Margarita is of particular interest as there are many interesting places within easy cycling distance. For non cyclists, the area has much to offer and it is therefore perfectly possible for an avid cyclist with a non cycling partner to both have an enjoyable time. Many customers are aware of the fantastic cycling opportunities in Spain especially around the nature reserves and typically Spanish villages boasting relaxing hospitality.
The cycling in this area is very diverse. For example, those who like to ride long distances can explore the regions of the Pyrenees Mountains or the fascinating nature reserves of Emporda where there are around 330 species of birds nesting in the area. For those who prefer short distances, Empuria Brava or Roses is only a short ride safely along flat paths from the hotel. There is also the Bay of Canyelles only a little further afield, just beyond the far edge of the Bay of Rosas from the front of the hotel which offers a small but beautifully picturesque hidden turquoise bay. These are only a few of the many ideas for cycle routes in the area that you may well hear from the experienced Fixed Based Bike Express travellers!
Every year European Bike Express is proud to boast of the high standard in Coach Travel that it has to offer. This is due to the fact that the unique modifications made to the Coaches' on board facilities make them by far the most comfortable way to travel on the road. The focal point for many customers are the Club Class Seats which have been custom made to provide more than enough leg room between you and the seat in front allowing you to stretch out and enjoy the journey. This has been done by removing seats to allow for more room between each seat.
We believe the key to a comfortable and enjoyable ride is quality and convenience. To achieve this we have balanced quantity alongside quality. All coaches are fully air conditioned, with Club Class seats with 45 degree recliner mechanisms together with adjustable foot rests, folding seat trays and multi-channel sound system.
As safety is paramount, all our seats have a 3-point belt which has to be worn at all times.
At Bike Express we understand that while you are on a coach journey you would prefer to be as comfortable as possible. So we decided to reduce the coach capacity to 43 - which is less capacity than you would see on a standard single decker coach! This gives ample room for even the tallest of people between seats and also allows ample space for each seat's foot support system and comfortably extended 45 degree recline angle.
Our coaches have a headphone system unique to this type of holiday travel with multiple audio channels helping to maximise your enjoyment throughout the journey. This has been popular and now you can listen to 3 alternative music channels, tune into the soundtrack from the films being shown, or enjoy the peace and tranquillity of silence in the comfort of your seat to your chosen destination. The use of this system has allowed you as the customer the option of what you listen to rather than the more conventional overhead speakers which simply eliminate that option. It must be noted that headphones are available from our staff for free or alternatively you are welcome to bring your own. The Coaches will offer reading material in the form of various Cycling Magazines, which are specifically targeted at Leisure and Touring cyclists.
Many of you who have travelled with us before will know our regular courier quite well. The friendly service offers Hot and Cold Drinks, Snacks and a good variety of Main Meals including homemade steak pie, lasagne and vegetarian dishes. Most of our clients who travel with us will choose to indulge in an evening meal onboard as it offers a high level, reasonably priced alternative to eating at the regular service stops.
Like nothing you'll have seen before on the road, our custom built trailers are among the longest that are legally permitted to be towed behind a coach. Due to the unique space we have available in the trailer, your bikes can remain fully assembled and only the handlebars need turning 90 degrees to the left and front wheel release mechanism may need to be operated. This space also enables us to safely accommodate any type of bike, be that a solo, tandem, trike (on request and subject to dimensions) recumbent, recumbent tandem, tandem trikes (on request and subject to dimensions) or other oddbikes and we even cater for bike trailers too. Yes, these all can be safely loaded fully assembled as well however, we do ask that if your bike is an oddbike (anything other than a tandem or solo) that you contact the office prior to your booking so that we can make specific arrangements for your bike.
Owing to the fact that there is no other coach company that offers such a bike trailer service, we are the easiest and most comfortable way for you and your bike to get into Europe. Since inception, they have catered for the safety and specific travel requirements of varied cycles. We are confident that your bike will be transported to your chosen destination with the utmost care. At your pick-up point, your bike will be loaded into the trailer and carefully secured by our specially trained loading staff.
Our custom built fleet comprises of four double deck trailers with carrying capacities of up to 54 cycles of different types. To enhance safe and secure cycle transit a new clamping system has been introduced for the upper deck. On the lower deck you will find 30 custom built solo slots that your bike can simply fall into with nothing more than a strap to securely hold it in place for the journey.
Please note that panniers and other large bike accessories will need to be removed before loading but can be placed just behind your bike.
except when visiting the toilet facilities.

The Collection Cosmetics Official in Malaysia!
Just recently launched, The Collection in Malaysia.
A brand that most of you local make up enthusiast have been waiting for, i can see some of you girls getting ready to raid Watsons with your cash. It's like a "Shut Up and Take My Money" meme moment (Fry from Futurama) and i have to admit that i have tons of unused cosmetics yet i still buy when i see a good deal lol.
This time, it's no promotion or whatsoever because The Collection's pricing ranges from RM19.90-RM35.90 only which makes it super affordable.
Thanks to my sis, Sarah who is constantly up to date with the latest skincare and beauty products including cosmetics. Apparently The Collection is a well known drug-store brand originated from UK, where all their drugstore (pharmacy) cosmetics are made to be super affordable and that includes brands like Maybelline, Revlon, Sleek (one of my favs!) and many more which is too long to list so go and google it girls.
But then again most cosmetics are not student budget friendly aside from so far a brand that i first started off with - Silkygirl.
Despite it giving me a hell load of breakouts but i still used it because that was the only thing i could afford back then when i was 12 and just started being active in cosplay.
Cosplayers, i am here to spread the good news as this brand's motto is "Own It, Work It & Love It" they provide quite a wide range off colours. Specifically targets young and trendy girls but from my point of view it's a HUGE bonus for the cosplayers in Malaysia.
Now you can use an affordable yet guaranteed quality cosmetics without putting your skin at risk!
No more pasar malam or random china brand.
For now the choices might be deemed small to some but not to worry as they are bringing in more of it soon.
They have a wide range of mascaras, eyeliners in different forms (gel, liquid & pencil) and colours, concealer for almost any skin tone that is suitable for Malaysia as we are a multiracial country all within RM19.90- RM39.90.
Their lip section was one thing i couldn't keep my eyes off because there are so many beautiful shades to choose from, if my wallet allows i would get every single colour and use them to work daily.
For now they have most of the basic shades available but i do hope they bring in more exciting colours soon because based on their UK website there is 2 colours that i am eyeing which is Gothic Glam and Perrie's Lipstick.
Managed to endure though the sea of raving beauty fanatics (bloggers) and media to get a hold of a few lippie swatches, the colours are so vibrant and pretty!!
If you girls have bought other colours do remember to swatch/review it and drop me your links so i can stalk you girls lol.
For now do head over their facebook page for the latest news and who knows they might do some special giveaways?


Romania may go medical marijuana soon, Finland Decriminalizes, and One Weed Policy for Europe?
Romania wants to catch up to the pace of other European nations when it comes to the legalization of cannabis. Now, the government is discussing the possibility of doing so for medicinal purposes.
"I also discussed yesterday with the minister of health. And I learned that there is such a committee set up to analyze and evaluate the option of legalizing of cannabis use for medicinal purposes," Romania's finance minister Eugen Teodorovici told local news outlet Digi24.
When asked if there was a chance Romania could legalize recreational cannabis, he replied that "it is premature to speak about such an option." He explained that this decision would only be made if it was part of a coordinated set of European policies.
Meanwhile, Uber's former head of public policy and government relations, Antonio Costanzo, is working on creating a "single market" for the European cannabis market. That is drastically different from the complex web of regulations that vary from one country to another in Europe at the moment, and while others see it as an obstacle, Costanzo sees opportunity.
"Governments are opening up at a speed that is hard to keep up with," says Costanzo, CEO of the London-based EMMAC Life Sciences Ltd., during an interview. Currently, 31 European nations have already legalized medicinal cannabis although they are all at different phases.
EMMAC has just raised $22.4 million through 2 private funding rounds this year alone. EMMAC's goal is to create a "single market" for cannabis by pouring funds into businesses located in larger European countries that working on making medicinal cannabis more mainstream, explains Costanza.
From there, EMMAC is looking to develop a business that oversees the growth, manufacture, R&D, importation and distribution of cannabis products.
But the main goal is to create regulated and licensed cannabis-based medications while working together with Swiss brand Blossom to create oils, topicals, and hemp tea. They intend to set up their production and growth headquarters in Portugal, and they have already acquired the necessary licenses to do so. Additionally, they've already gotten a license in Malta to make it their distribution hub for easy transport in and out of the continent.
EMMAC also has a majority stake in Medalchemy, a Spanish pharmaceutical ingredient manufacture which just acquired a license fro importing medicinal cannabis.
That's not all: EMMAC has investments throughout Europe including Italy, Germany, the United Nations, France, Spain, and Switzerland.
Two members of the Finland National Institute for Health and Welfare (locally known as the THL- Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitos), the government's top agency for health, have called to decriminalize all drugs. The move has sparked a debate involving police authorities and politicians.
Last February 13, the head of THL's Alcohol, Drugs, and Addictions Unit Professor Pekka Hakkarainen, and senior researcher from the institute Tuukka Tammi, penned an article that recommended all drugs be decriminalized in Finland. They argued that doing so would eliminate criminal sanctions while solving the marginalization of the youth while encouraging individuals who use to drugs to report to health and social services.
According to data from the THL, Finland's police report some 15,000 drug offenses annually, and these numbers only continue to increase. In 2017, they noted that the total number of drug offenses was on a rise for the 4th row in a year. Even though it's unusual to send people to jail for minor drug offenses, Hakkairanen and Tammi caution that the very act of getting caught using drugs will have a seriously negative impact on the life of an individual despite the fact that they are not prosecuted. Their names are entered into a database and it's kept there for as long as 10 years, which can eliminate their chances of regaining a normal sense of life or even a career if a future employer does a background check.
CANNABIS NEWS FROM EUROPE AND BEYOND, CLICK HERE.
It won't be surprising if Netanyahu ends up ruffling feathers with his decision, as if the government's move to exclude cannabis exporters for this year's budget wasn't enough, some of them threatened to sell their products on the black market.
While it is possible to increase the THC for cannabis, the particular strain or plant genes that you're working with is the most important aspect.


It's a great panel; I'm glad the IFP posted this one, it was one of my favorites that Film Week. The panelists are incredibly open and practical about network, cable, and independent film, in terms of money, contracts, and process. And given the increasing role of cable television in production and distribution, this is pretty useful stuff.


This blog chronicles the adventures, struggles, hopes, and happenings of the Robbins family (Matt, Joy, Hannah, Peter, and Abigail) as we move to Ghana to assist the work of International Justice Mission in rescuing and caring for child slaves forced to work in the fishing industry on Lake Volta, while reforming, inspiring, and empowering the Ghanaian justice system to hold their abusers accountable for their actions and bring an end to slavery there.
Matt, a pastor by training and calling, is doing a Field Office Fellowship in Church Mobilization. His mission is to work with churches and pastors to inspire and equip them to the great work of justice and rescue ahead, and thus reflect the heart of our God of Justice.
While Matt's the one going into the IJM office everyday, we regard this as a team effort. All five of us are making the sacrifice of leaving all of our friends, family members, schools, activities, and everything that feels familiar and safe so that we can, as a family, help set these boys free.

Hangar Hiring
Do your ground work to join the field of aircraft repair and maintenance, writes Usha Albuquerque
Today, there are more and more people flying than ever before, yet we seldom think about how safe we are in the air. In recent years, many new airlines companies have been set up, and many more are in the pipeline. More airlines means more planes and also more people travelling in planes. Yet do we think about how safe we are up there? What would happen if the plane were to develop some problem? Well, it almost never does, thanks to the aircraft maintenance engineers.

PSU banks on hiring spree
New business needs and staff shortages due to retirements have sent the public sector banks on a hiring spree, with four of them planning to recruit close to 5,000 employees over the next few months. While India's biggest lender State Bank of India is looking to hire over 2,700 employees for its various associate banks, other state-run banking institutions like Union Bank of India, Bank of Baroda and Andhra Bank have also lined up plans to expand their workforce by about 2,000 at various junior and middle management levels.

There is an urgent need for the repositioning of human resources in banking organisations to meet the changing needs. The new-generation private sector banks have, to a certain extent, weaned away the cream of experienced and trained human resources from the public sector banks (PSBs), that too from the lower and middle levels of management that constituted the core customer relations talent pool.
