Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour Brings Awareness of Hepatitis B to the East Coast
(An Inspirational Journey for an Inspirational Young Man)
DOYLESTOWN, PA (June 2008) – The power of one individual to make a difference cannot be measured in words, but in actions. John Ellis, a 17-year-old from Pensacola, Fla., was diagnosed with hepatitis B in 2006. Instead of being discouraged by this devastating medical diagnosis, John turned the news into an opportunity to raise awareness about hepatitis B. With a passion for cycling and a desire to help raise funds to find a cure for the disease, John contacted the Hepatitis B Foundation (www.hepb.org) with an idea to organize an East Coast cycling tour. Today, John’s idea has become a reality! The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour, sponsored by the Hepatitis B Foundation, is a 1,100 mile journey beginning on June 2 at John’s high school in Pensacola and ending in Philadelphia on June 23 – John’s 18th birthday!
John Ellis is an extraordinary young man. He was a healthy teenager, when the results of a routine blood test revealed that he had hepatitis B. This news came just two weeks before his 16th birthday and John recalls emotions of, “being incredibly scared because I didn’t know what having hepatitis B would mean for me.” His fear was further fueled by his doctor who told him that he would eventually need a liver transplant. John’s world was turned upside down. He was frightened and also confused as to how he could have contracted this potentially fatal disease; he had received the hepatitis B vaccine in middle school.
John turned to the Hepatitis B Foundation to learn more about his disease. The Foundation is the only national nonprofit organization solely dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected with hepatitis B worldwide. Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that attacks liver cells and can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. The virus is transmitted through infected blood. In the U.S., 1 out of 20 persons (or 12 million Americans) have been infected with HBV.
Armed with information about hepatitis B and with a conviction to improve his health, John gave up a junk food diet and began exercising. He purchased a $50 bike from a local bike store and started riding it everywhere – to school, to work and just for fun. “I knew I wanted to ride for a cause. People need to become more aware about hepatitis B and how it affects us,” said John.
John has shown us courage in the truest sense of the word. He is approaching his chronic hepatitis B diagnosis with a positive attitude and embarking on this cycling tour to prove to himself that he can overcome obstacles placed in his path. Knowing that there is no cure for hepatitis B does not dampen his spirits. “If I believe in my heart that things will work out for the best, then who’s to say I’m not cured,” said John.
Sponsors of the Cycling Tour include NutriSystem, CP Commercial Printing, Monster Graphics, Bikes Plus (Pensacola, Fla.), Fox Rothschild LLP, High Swartz LLP, Newman’s Own Organic, Clif Bars, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

The Difference Engine was designed by Charles Babbage of England starting in the 1830s. Due to its complexity and the drying up of the government grants for the development of the engine, Babbage died a bitter man without actually producing his design.
In 2008, two working Difference Engines were actually built, just to see if Babbage's ideas were indeed correct; it works as intended, accurate to 32 significant digits. One of the machines is located at the Science Museum in London, and this is the other.
Babbage's key concerns were with errors in input, output, and transcriptions to press, and the Difference Engine includes parts to eliminate the chances for such errors, including direct automated typesetting to print the results.

Obviously. You would think an F5 would beat out a IIIa any day of the week. But it's not as clear cut as that. For instance, if I'm walking around all day I'd just as soon pick up a rangefinder since I can take 2 cameras and 3 lenses for less weight than an SLR and one lens. For fast action it's the F5 no questions asked. But all that speed and auto-everything comes with a price, namely a tendency to cede control of your photography to a CPU instead of your own head.

Equipment changed over the years since the Cardinals first took the field in the late 1800's. Compare these things from before 1930 to those from the 1950's. Earlier, the shirts exposed less skin and the gloves had less of a pocket. By the 50's, people realized that a lighter, quicker bat drove the ball further than a heavier bat.
