He then leaned his shoulder into a fellow rider as he travelled away from the apex.
Cavendish returned to form by winning the Stage 5, Stage 6, Stage 11, Stage 18 and Stage 20, bringing his career total to 15 stage wins.
He ended up second in the points classification, 11 points behind Alessandro Petacchi.
Cavendish's next race was the 2010 Vuelta a España, in which his team won the opening team time trial.
Cavendish crossed the line first and took the leader's jersey.
He could only place second or third on the subsequent sprint stages, but returned to form later in the race winning stages 12, 13, 18 and the green jersey points classification.
Cavendish has been described as confident, even arrogant.
Outside races, he is seen differently.
said Brian Holm, his directeur sportif.

Obituary for Helen Wiggin Bickford
Random forest is a statistical algorithm that is used to cluster points of data in functional groups.
When the data set is large and/or there are many variables it becomes difficult to cluster the data because not all variables can be taken into account, therefore the algorithm can also give a certain chance that a data point belongs in a certain group.
Steps of the algorithm
Of the entire set of data a subset is taken (training set).
The algorithm clusters the data in groups and subgroups.
If you would draw lines between the data points in a subgroup, and lines that connect subgroups into group etc.
the structure would look somewhat like a tree.
This is called a decision tree.
At each split or node in this cluster/tree/dendrogram variables are chosen at random by the program to judge whether datapoints have a close relationship or not.
The program makes multiple trees a.k.a.
a forest.
Each tree is different because for each split in a tree, variables are chosen at random.
Then the rest of the dataset (not the training set) is used to predict which tree in the forests makes the best classification of the datapoints (in the dataset the right classification is known).
The tree with the most predictive power is shown as output by the algorithm.
Using the algorithm
The Cambrian explosion is when many animal phyla first appeared in the fossil record.
It happened 541 million years ago (mya).
Probably most had evolved before then, but that was their first appearance as fossils.
Before about 580 mya it seems that most organisms were simple.
They were made of individual cells, occasionally organized into colonies.
Over the following 70 or 80 million years the rate of evolution seemed to accelerate.
By the end of the Cambrian most phyla we know today existed.
The Cambrian explosion has caused much scientific debate.
The seemingly rapid appearance of fossils in the 'primordial strata' was noted as early as the mid 19th century,  and Charles Darwin saw it as one of the main objections that could be made against his theory of evolution by natural selection.
Key issues
whether it actually happened.
Was there really a mass diversification of complex organisms over a relatively short period of time during the early Cambrian?
what might have caused such rapid change.
what it might say about the origin and evolution of animals.
Understanding it is difficult because the supply of evidence is limited.
The evidence is an incomplete fossil record, and chemical signatures left in Cambrian rocks.
Large-scale evolution
The Cambrian explosion is the classic example of megaevolution.
By that is not meant a different kind of evolution; rather, it means evolution which produces a tremendous effect.
The word 'macroevolution' is used because the changes were really huge.
The Cambrian explosion started in the Ediacaran from about 575 mya, and continued to the Burgess Shale at about 507 mya.
That is about 70 million years.
By the end all modern phyla had evolved, and since then no new phyla have appeared in the fossil record.
This is one of the things that need to be explained.
Life a billion years ago
For further information, see Acritarch and Stromatolite
Stromatolites, stubby pillars built by colonies of cyanobacteria and other microorganisms, are the first fossils.
Their record starts about 3.5 billion years ago, and they were very common from about 2700 mya.
They declined steeply after about 1250 mya, and this decline was probably caused by grazing and burrowing animals.
Precambrian marine diversity was dominated by small fossils known as acritarchs.
This term describes almost any small organic walled fossilfrom the egg cases of small metazoans to resting cysts of many different kinds of green algae.
After appearing around 2000 mya, acritarchs had a boom around 1000 mya, increasing in number, diversity, size, complexity of shape and especially size and number of spines.
Their increasingly spiny forms in the last billion years may indicate an increased need for defence against predation.
Measuring taxon longevity  seems to show an increase in predation around this time.
However, in general, the rate of evolution in the Precambrian was very slow, with many cyanobacterial species lasting unchanged for billions of years.
Of course, bacteria are defined mainly by their biochemistry, especially their genomes.
Changes in their biochemistry would usually leave no trace in the fossil record.

The Seward Peninsula is a large peninsula on the western coast of the U.S. state of Alaska.
It sticks out about  into the Bering Sea.
It is just below the Arctic Circle.
The peninsula is about  long and  wide.
The town of Seward, Alaska is actually not on the Seward Peninsula.
It is much further south, on the Kenai Peninsula.
The Seward Peninsula was once part of the Bering land bridge.
This was a strip of land that used to exist that connected Alaska with Siberia with mainland Alaska.
It existed millions of years ago during a time called the Pleistocene Ice Age.
People, animals, and plants all came across the land bridge into North America.
Archaeologists have found proof that Inupiat Eskimos have been living there for thousands of years.
The Peninsula does not have a lot of people today.
There are no roads going there.
The largest town is Nome.
There are about 3,000 people there.
The next largest town, Shishmaref, has only 607 people.
Most of the other towns there have only a few hundred people.
Some old mining towns there have no people left at all and have become ghost towns.
Geography and ecology
The Devil Mountain Lakes are on the Seward Peninsula.
They are a kind of lake called a maar which is made by a volcano.
The Devil Mountain Lakes are the biggest lakes like this in the whole world.
There are four mountain ranges on the peninsula, the biggest ones are the Kigluaik (or Sawtooth) Mountains.
The highest point on peninsula is the peak of  Mount Osborn.
Other mountain ranges on the Seward Peninsula include the Bendeleben Mountains, Darby Mountains, and York Mountains.
There is also a big lava flow called The Lost Jim Lava Flow.
Several hot springs are located throughout the peninsula as well.
The rivers are important to the people who live there for several reasons.
One reason is that they can catch fish to eat in them.
Another reason is that they can travel by boat since there no roads.
That way they can get to other towns on the river or to places where there are animals to hunt.
Finding food is important there because there are not a lot of stores and it costs a lot of money to take food that far in an airplane or boat.
The rivers freeze in the wintertime.
The most common kind of tree there is called a black spruce.
It is a kind of pine tree.
Cape Prince of Wales is on the Peninsula.
No other part of the mainland of North America is further west.
It is only  from Russia.
The peninsula was named after William H. Seward.
He was the United States Secretary of State made the deal with Russia to let the United States buy Alaska from them in 1867.

The President of the Swiss Confederation is the head of state and head of government of Switzerland.
The president is the chief executive of the Federal Council of Switzerland and is the most senior member of the executive branch of the Swiss government.
Under the Swiss constitution of 1999, the Federal Council is the "highest executive authority".
Although the president of the confederation has some extra duties to represent Switzerland, he is not the head of state.
All decisions are that a head of state would make are decided by a meeting of the Federal Council.
For example, treaties are signed on behalf of the Federal Council, and all members of the federal council sign the "letters of credence"  to introduce ambassadors sent by Switzerland to a foreign country.
All  ambassadors sent by a foreign country to Switzerland meet all of the members of the Federal Council, not just the President.

Van Diemen Gulf () is a gulf between Arnhem Land, the Cobourg Peninsula and Melville Island in northern Australia.
It joins the Timor Sea in the west by the Clarence Strait near the city of Darwin.
It joins the Arafura Sea in the north by Dundas Strait between Melville Island and Cobourg Peninsula.
It covers an area of about 14,000 km².
Abel Tasman mapped the northern entrance to the Gulf, Dundas Strait, in 1644.
The Gulf is named after the Dutch Governor of Batavia, Anthony Van Diemen.
HTC-Highroad (UCI team code:THR) is a professional cycling team competing in international road bicycle races.
Their current title sponsor is HTC Corporation, a Taiwanese maker of Smartphones.
High Road Sports is the management company of team manager Bob Stapleton.
Past title sponsors include Columbia Sportswear and Deutsche Telekom.
The team was set up in 1991 as Team Telekom, sponsored by Deutsche Telekom.
In 2004 their name changed to the T-Mobile-Team.
It has 29 riders, 9 physiotherapists or nurses, 9 mechanics and service persons, and has 22 partners.
The team is managed by Bob Stapleton and Rolf Aldag.
Former leaders include Olaf Ludwig, Walter Godefroot and Eddy Vandenhecke (managers), Luuc Eisenga (spokesperson) and  Brian Holm, Valerio Piva (sports directors).
Team beginnings: 1988 – 1991
At the end of 1988, former World Champion Hennie Kuiper set up a German cycling team that was sponsored by the city of Stuttgart and rode on Eddy Merckx cycles.
The team was called Stuttgart-Merckx-Gonsor for the 1989 season and had nine riders (which included  Udo Bölts).
At that time when there were no German cycling teams and the country's main cycling event, the Rund um den Henninger Turm had not been won by a German since Rudi Altig in 1970.
During its first year of existence team rider Dariusc Kajzer brought the team its first success in the National Road Race Championships in Germany.
The team became Stuttgart-Mercedes-Merckx-Puma in 1990 and Bölts continued the success of the team by becoming road race champion of Germany.
Team Telekom: 1991 – 2004
Deutsche Telekom came in as the main sponsor in 1991 and the team was known as Telekom-Mercedes-Merckx-Puma.
According to an interview with Godefroot, it was Bölts’ 17th place at the 1991 Vuelta a España that prompted him to accept the Telekom management’s offer to take over the running of the team.
Godefroot signed several riders including Classics specialist and 1991 Paris–Roubaix winner Marc Madiot.
Bölts who was involved with the team since its beginnings in 1989 stayed with the team until 2003, continued building on the successes of the team by winning stage 19, the Queen stage of the 1992 Giro d'Italia.
Jens Heppner continued this with his tenth place overall at the 1992 Tour de France.
The Telekom team signed all the promising cyclists that were coming from Germany at that time and who were becoming successful.
These included Jens Heppner and Christian Henn in 1992, Erik Zabel, Rolf Aldag and Steffen Wesemann in 1993 and Jan Ullrich in 1994.
Many of these riders would ride for more than ten years with the team.
Olaf Ludwig also signed in 1993 and finished his career with the team.
In 1994, Zabel won the first UCI Road World Cup victory in the history of the team, the Paris–Tours.
In 1993 the team again achieved success in the national championship road race in Germany.
This was the start of the team’s 11 year domination and possession of the German champion’s jersey.
Many of the successful team riders that spent many years of their career with Telekom would become German national champions – Bernd Gröne in 1993, Jens Heppner in 1994, Bölts in 1990, 1995 and 1999, Christian Henn in 1996, Jan Ullrich in 1997 and 2001, Erik Zabel in 1998 and 2003, Rolf Aldag in 2000, Danilo Hondo in 2002 and finally Andreas Klöden in 2004.
The team soon became an important presence on the international cycling stage.
However the team was not invited to the 1995 Tour de France.
Eventually the organisers of the Tour agreed that six Telekom members, namely Rolf Aldag, Udo Bölts, Jens Heppner, Vladimir Pulnikov, Erik Zabel and Olaf Ludwig, would be joined with three members of the ZG Mobili to form a composite team.
Zabel went on to win two stages in the race.
Godefroot brought in Danish rider Bjarne Riis, the third place finisher of the 1995 Tour and he went on to win the 1996 Tour de France, with the then 22-year old German support rider Jan Ullrich finishing in second place.
In addition, Zabel won the first of six green jerseys for winning the points competition.
Bolts won the Clásica de San Sebastián and Wesemann won his second and the first of four wins with the Telekom team of the famous stage race the Peace Race.
The 1997 Tour de France saw the emergence of Ullrich as he won the race with support from Riis, who in turn had won the World Cup race Amstel Gold Race earlier in 1997.
In addition, Bolts won the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, Zabel won Milan – San Remo for the first of four times with the team.
Ullrich also won the Championships of Hamburg semi-classic.
In addition the Deutschland Tour returned in 1999 – evidence of the continuing popularity of cycling in Germany at the time.
While Ullrich had a crash in the race and was forced to retire, Team Telekom did win the first edition of the race with Heppner and would win the race again with Alexander Vinokourov in 2001.
Ullrich finished second in the 1998 Tour de France but went on to win the 1999 Vuelta a España, although he missed the 1999 Tour de France due to a knee injury.
After winning the Vuelta, Ullrich became World time trial champion which enabled him to wear the rainbow jersey during time trials.
He would win this again in 2001.
The next year, Zabel won the overall World Cup victory, having won the Milan – San Remo and Amstel Gold Race, while Ullrich placed second again in the 2000 Tour de France to Lance Armstrong.
Ullrich won the gold medal in the Olympic road race and the silver medal in the Olympic time trial.
In 2001, Zabel won Milan – San Remo for the fourth time.
Kazakh rider Alexandre Vinokourov won the Paris–Nice stage race in 2002, a feat he would duplicate in 2003, also winning the Amstel Gold Race and Tour de Suisse that year.
Zabel won the 2003 Paris–Tours, while Italian rider Daniele Nardello took the Züri-Metzgete.
The team had a continuous presence at the top of the professional peloton and continued to sign the emerging German cyclists of the times with Andreas Klöden in 1998, Jörg Jaksche in 1999, Matthias Kessler in 2000 and Stefan Schumacher in 2002 to name but a few.
In addition the team signed many successful non-German riders such as Georg Totschnig, Alexander Vinokourov, Cadel Evans, Santiago Botero and Paolo Savoldelli.

T-Mobile: 2004 – November 2007
From 2004, the team changed its name to T-Mobile.
Jan Ullrich returned to the team.
The team achieved a great number of success, among which was Steffan Wesemanns win in the Ronde van Vlaanderen.
Coming up to the 2004 Tour de France, Kloden became German road race champion and Ullrich won the Tour de Suisse and raced the 2004 Tour de France as team leader, while Vinokourov did not ride the Tour de France for the team.
Jan Ullrich finished fourth, while Andreas Klöden was the best placed rider of the team in second place.
T-Mobile Team won the team classification, as the overall strongest team of the 2004 Tour.
In the spring season of 2005, Vinokourov won the Liège–Bastogne–Liège classic race.
Alexandre Vinokourov rode in support, and finished fifth as he won two stages, including the final stage on the Champs-Elysees.
Italian rider Giuseppe Guerini also won a stage and T-Mobile Team matched their 2004 feat by once again winning the team classification in 2005.
Zabel won the Paris–Tours for the third time at the end of the season.
In July 2005, during the 2005 Tour, Vinokourov's contract was running out and people wondered if he was to stay with T-Mobile.
With four days left of the 2005 Tour, he made an announcement that he would leave the team to pursue his own chances of winning the Tour de France as a team captain and after the Tour he joined the Liberty Seguros team.
Before the 2006 season, Walter Godefroot stepped down and Olaf Ludwig became the new T-Mobile team manager.
Doping scandals: 2006 – 2007
In the most controversial scandal since the 1998 tour, thirteen riders were expelled from the 2006 Tour de France stemming from a Spanish doping scandal, on the eve of Strasbourg prologue to the 93rd edition.
Jan Ullrich, one of the favorites to win the race, was among those excluded from the Tour.
On 9 July, the team announced the dismissal of its sporting director, Rudy Pevenage, for his implication with former Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich in a Spanish blood doping scandal.
After the Tour de France, the team completely changed; Team manager Olaf Ludwig left the team and was replaced by Bob Stapleton.
Rolf Aldag, Allan Peiper and Tristan Hoffman became directeur sportifs.
Several riders who had been with the team for a long time such as Steffen Wesemann, Andreas Klöden and Matthias Kessler left or their contracts were not extended.
Jörg Ludewig was put on suspension and his contract was not increased in connection with intention to dope previously in his career and before he joined T-Mobile.
Eddy Mazzoleni who was in his first year for the team would also leave.
The contracts of Bram Schmitz and Bas Gilling were not renewed.
Dr. Lothar Heinrich, the team doctor since 1995, and Dr. Andreas Schmid set up a new comprehensive testing system.
Following the revelations that came out of the Operación Puerto investigation, Heinrich allegedly nearly quit the sport but instead he joined with Stapleton and other team staff to create a new system of internal controls and health checks that he insisted would demonstrate that T-Mobile riders were clean and to restore credibility to the sport.
In May 2007, several former riders admitted using banned substances (including EPO) while riding for the team in the mid 1990s, including Erik Zabel, Rolf Aldag, Brian Holm, Bjarne Riis, Bert Dietz, Udo Bölts and Christian Henn including the seasons in which Riis and Ullrich won the Tour de France.
Team doctors Andreas Schmid and Lothar Heinrich also confessed to participating and administering banned substances.
The latter was Team Telekom's sporting director until May 3, 2007 when he was suspended following allegations published in former team member Jef d'Hont's book.
In an effort to present a renewed image the team brought a young team to the 2007 Tour de France, and promoted a drug-free attitude and image.
Despite this, team member Patrik Sinkewitz tested positive for elevated testosterone during a training camp.
The test results were only announced when Sinkiewitz had dropped out of the Tour because of injury.
He was still in hospital when he was suspended from Team T-Mobile, and was dismissed on 31 July 2007.
Team High Road: November 2007 – June 2008
In November 2007, Deutsche Telekom AG announced that it was to end sponsorship of professional cycling with immediate effect.
The team continued under the name "Team High Road" through June 2008.
The team changed nationality in February 2008, switching from Germany to the United States.
The team continued thanks to funding solely from the team owner Bob Stapleton, as the team did not have enough time to gather sponsors for the new year.
The team had a successful start to the year with Luxembourg rider Kim Kirchen winning the classic La Flèche Wallonne.
Results like this and also High-Road's performance at the Giro d'Italia helped the team secure a sponsor for the end of the year
Team Columbia and Team Columbia-High Road: July 2008 – June 2009
On June 15, 2008 Columbia Sportswear announced a three year sponsorship of the team beginning on July 5, the start of the Tour de France.
The team's new name is "Team Columbia".
The sponsorship includes both the men's and women's teams.
The announcement of this new deal with Columbia coincided with a highly successful Tour, in which the team won 5 individual stages (four of which went to British sprinter Mark Cavendish) as well as team leader Kim Kirchen leading the general classification in the Tour de France for four days in addition to leading the points classification in the Tour de France.
Team Columbia-HTC: June 2009 – January 2010 & Team HTC-Columbia: January 2010 –
On June 29, 2009 HTC announced a three year sponsorship of the team beginning with the 2009 Tour de France.
The team's new name is "Team Columbia-HTC."
Like the Columbia Sportswear sponsorship, the HTC sponsorship includes both the men's and women's teams.
The team enjoyed great success at the 2009 Tour de France with Mark Cavendish winning 6 stages over the course of the 3 weeks.
The most memorable of these was his victory on the Champs-Élysées in Paris where he won by a huge margin; almost 30m, with his own lead out man, Mark Renshaw having enough time to come in 2nd with his arms raised.
A documentary film called Chasing Legends was later released that covered the 2009 tour through the eyes of HTC-Columbia.
August proved a very good month for Norwegian allrounder Edvald Boasson Hagen, with two stage wins and a podium finish in the Tour of Poland and two more stage wins and the GC win in the Eneco Tour.
After stage wins in the other two Grand Tours of 2009, it took the team only three days to win yet another in the Vuelta, where Gregory Henderson took home the flowers.
Despite its many successes, Team Columbia does not seem to be able to afford as many top riders as they have, and due to their many victories, a lot of riders were targeted by other teams for the 2010 season.
Notable riders such as Kim Kirchen, Edvald Boasson Hagen, Michael Barry, George Hincapie and Thomas Lövkvist elected to leave the team.
As replacements, a lot of young talented riders, such as Jan Ghyselinck, Rasmus Guldhammer and Martin and Peter Velits, were contracted.
On October 17, 2010 Team Columbia HTC announced a tie up with Specialized for 2011 and beyond.
Specialized will supply the team‘s frames, forks, and helmets.
The men will race the S-Works Tarmac for most road races, the S-Works Roubaix for cobbled classics, and the Shiv TT in time trials.
The all-new S-Works Prevail and TT3 helmets will protect the riders in road and TT applications, respectively.

The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded within genetic material (DNA or mRNA sequences) is translated into proteins by living cells.
Biological decoding is done by the ribosome.
This links amino acids together in an order specified by mRNA.
It uses transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules to carry amino acids and to read the mRNA.
The molecules read the mRNA three nucleotides at a time.
These nucleotide triplets are called codons.
A codon specifies which amino acid will be added next during protein synthesis.
There are some exceptions, but usually a three-nucleotide codon represents a single amino acid.
The genetic code among all organisms is very similar.
It can be expressed in a simple table with 64 entries.
The genetic code decides the protein sequence for a given coding region (gene).
Other regions in the genome can influence when and where these proteins are produced.

Altricial, meaning "requiring care", refers to a group or kind of creature that is incapable of moving around on its own soon after hatching or being born.
The word is derived from the Latin root alere meaning "to nurse, to rear, or to nourish", which means that young has to be taken care of for a long time before it can overcome its helplessness.

Villi (singular is villus) are small, finger-like structures in the small intestine.
They help to absorb digested food.
Each villus has microvilli which increase the surface area of the intestinal walls.
A larger surface area allows nutrients to be taken in more quickly.
The food (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) has already been broken down by enzymes called proteases, lipases and amylases.
The amino acids and sugars (breakdown molecules of proteins and carbohydrates) go first into the blood stream.
Then they are processed by the liver, which acts like a chemical factory for the body.
Lipid substances (such as cholesterol) go first into the lymphatic system, and eventually into the blood stream and the liver.
Publius Papinius Statius ( 45 – 96 A.D.) was a Roman poet born in Naples, Italy.
Published in 92 A.D., his major epic was called Thebaid.
It has the same theme as the Seven Against Thebes, a play by Aeschylus, the fight of seven city states against Thebes.
He also wrote poems for different occasions.
These poems are known as Silvae today.
They show what the life at the court of Domitian was like.
Even though he is not well-known today, he was better known during his time.
He also appears in The Divine Comedy.

The black market is the trade of goods illegally.
Black markets operate outside the normal economy.
The black market is different from the so-called Grey market, where goods are traded legally, but outside the common channels.
Goods and services traded on the black market include drug and  arms trafficking as well as human trafficking and prostitution.
In some cases, the goods or services are cheaper than on the normal market, because taxes or production costs do not need to be paid - very often the goods traded were stolen.
In other cases, the price on the black market is higher, because the goods are difficult to get, and producing or handling them may be dangerous.
Prices in the illegal drug trade are often much higher than for similar but legitimate goods, for these reasons.

Transplants of skin  and organs from other people are usually rejected.
This is an action by the immune system.
Medawar showed that sometimes this reaction can be avoided, and why.
He worked on graft rejection and the discovery of acquired immune tolerance.
He was awarded the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, with Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet.
Medawar was professor of zoology at the University of Birmingham (1947–51) and University College London (1951–62).
In 1962 he was appointed director of the National Institute for Medical Research, and became professor of experimental medicine at the Royal Institution (1977–83), and president of the Royal Postgraduate Medical School (1981–87).
Medawar was a scientist of great inventiveness who was interested in many other subjects including opera, philosophy and cricket.
Outcome of research
Medawar was awarded his Nobel Prize in 1960 for work in tissue grafting, which is the basis of organ transplants.
He and his team discovered acquired immunological tolerance.
At birth, babies are protected by antibodies from the mother.
During embryonic life and immediately after birth, immune cells develop.
They 'learn' to distinguish between their own tissues on the one hand, and unwanted cells and foreign material on the other.
Medawar's work resulted in a shift of emphasis in the science of immunology from one that attempts to deal with the fully developed immunity mechanism to one that attempts to alter the immunity mechanism itself.
Various ways have been found to suppress the body's rejection of organ transplants.

Princess of Orange is the title (name) used for the women who were married to the Ruling Princes of Orange in the time between 1171 to 1815.
Since 1815, it was also used for the wives of the heirs to the Dutch throne, who were titled Prince of Orange.
The only woman who became a Princess of Orange without being married to a Prince of Orange was Marie, Princess of Orange (1393-1417).
Together with her husband John, Prince of Orange (1393-1418), they governed the land.
Because the title Prince of Orange was only used for 'the eldest son of the King' (the crown prince), Dutch crown princesses did not get the title.
