To do so, he would have to double his rider headcount, as ten is the minimum required to even apply, but his riders definitely like the idea. Rider Dieter Vanthourenhout felt that "it would be good for us. It would provide us with more opportunities." The Easypayers, who ride the same Empella bikes that have guided more than one rider to a World Championships title, will line up in the 2007-08 season with Kamiel Ausbuher, Dieter Vanthourenhout, Gert-Jan Opsomer, Tim Van Nuffel and Jerry Kallenfels. Ausbuher, who hails from the Czech Republic, was World Champion in the junior ranks in 1993.

However, the team's most recent successes have been courtesy of young Dieter Vanthourenhout and Tim Van Nuffel.

Do Pilots Practice Crash Landings?
Doctors delivered an electric shock to Vice President Dick Cheney's heart on Monday, jolting it back into a normal rhythm after they discovered an irregular heartbeat. This is the latest entry in an astonishing résumé of cardiac problems for the 66-year-old, who was back at work on Tuesday. Cheney has endured four heart attacks, two angioplasties, quadruple bypass surgery, a defibrillator implanted in his heart, aneurysms behind both knees, and a blood clot in his left leg. Isn't it time the vice president had a heart transplant? Nope, he's way too healthy. Transplants are considered a last-ditch effort to save a patient. If the procedure works, he must take powerful immunosuppressants for the rest of his life. To be a transplant candidate, Cheney would have to suffer from end-stage heart failure, where the heart muscle is too weak to deliver blood to the rest of the body.
A gameday in the life
OAKLAND -The life of an NBA player is worthy of envy. Millions of dollars. Celebrity access. Plenty of free time. It's a life of itch-scratching and thrill-seeking. It's a life of luxury and abundance. Most people would do anything to be in a player's shoes for just one day. Well, if Warriors guard Kelenna Azubuike is a typical NBA player, game day would be the wrong day to do so. Earlier this month, on a day when the Warriors were to host the Memphis Grizzlies, Azubuike allowed a reporter and a photographer a glimpse at his daily routine. For Azubuike, game days are all about relaxing. Call it the calm before the storm. He purposely keeps his life tranquil in the hours before tipoff. The goal is to preserve every ounce of energy before the real fun starts at 7:30 p.m.

EDDIE MURPHY EARNS MULTIPLE RAZZIE NODS: "Norbit" singled out by annual celebration of year's worst films and performances. *Eddie Murphy has joined Halle Berry in the rare class of actors who have received nominations for both an Academy Award, honoring the best in film, and a Razzie Award, which "rewards" the year's worst.
Berry was a winner at both ceremonies – earning a best actress Oscar for "Monster's Ball" in 2002 and a worst actress Razzie three years later for "Catwoman."
While Murphy was unable to bag the supporting actor Oscar for "Dreamgirls" last year, chances are good that he'll take home at least one of eight Razzie nominations for his 2007 fiasco "Norbit."
Murphy alone received five Razzie nods, more than anyone has ever gotten in a single year. Besides worst picture, "Norbit" had nominations for Murphy as worst actor in the title role, supporting actress as Norbit's morbidly-obese wife, supporting actor as an Asian man and worst screen couple for Norbit opposite either of Murphy's other characters.
