Because it’s three sports combined into one event, a triathlon calls for a lot of gear. And as triathlon and other outdoor sports have exploded in popularity the past couple of years, the technology in some of that gear is advancing at lightspeed. It’s not just adding features for the sake of adding features, new technology is making those long miles and hours spent training safer and more effective than ever before.

While stocks and bonds are the most common ways to invest, modern investors are looking to alternative investments as a means of diversification.

Whether it’s monitors that are too low, chairs lacking the correct support, keyboards that are too high, or any number of common pitfalls, home office setups are often ergonomic wastelands. Unfortunately, that will usually lead to soreness and injury. Most workers would benefit from taking a look at how they most often work at home and adjusting it to make things a little easier on their bodies. Maybe it’s a monitor arm to reduce neck strain or a standing desk to help your back.

It’s March 17, 1972, and 9,000 screaming fans pack the UW’s Hec Edmundson Pavilion to cheer for John Houston and the Hazen basketball team. In the raucous atmosphere, the Highlanders pulled off one of the state’s greatest upsets, beating the heavily favored, and previously undefeated, Mercer Island team and advancing to the state title game. As the fans went crazy and the team celebrated, this was a time to bask in the win for Houston. Take it all in, enjoy himself. Still, something in the back of Houston’s mind nagged at him. In fact, in this moment of victory, he couldn’t wait to get away.

Buying a short sale home can be a bargain, but it has its costs. Follow these tips to make it work. It could have been worse. Once we finally finished the purchase of our new home, and read more and more short sale horror stories, my wife and I took solace in that fact: It could have been worse.

Standing desks have always been notoriously hard to keep looking neat when all your power cables need to have enough slack in them to work seated as well as standing. Beyond cosmetic tidiness, cable management is key for a safe and sane workstation as well.

Since our search for a good recreational kayak under $400 kept pointing back to the popular Pelican Mustang 100x, we decided to get one and try it out. We’ve been out on the kayak several times and so far we’re loving it. With a recreational kayak, it’s important to keep expectations (and limitations, as we’ll talk about later) in check.

It’s Mike Trout. The safest first round hitter is Mike Trout, and that’s boring. You already know this. I tried many different ways of looking at it and it all came back to Trout. Trout isn’t the perfect fantasy baseball player. His strikeout rate took a big jump last season and his stolen base attempts dropped considerably. I’m not worried. He’s been so good that the natural inclination is to try to find problems with his game or reasons why he might become less good. He’s 23!

Welcoming a new baby will mean a lot of changes to everything in your life from your finances to your relationships. While getting the house ready may not pop to the front of your mind as one of the most important things to do when you’re getting ready to add a baby to your family, it’s actually more important than you might think. So where do you begin? We’ve rounded up these six tips to help you think about what you need to do when you’ve got a baby on the way.

You always handcuff your top players. Handcuffing your players commits two roster spots to the production of one player. You’re playing it safe, and that’s not the best way to win. For example: You take a running back first overall then handcuff his backup later in the draft. In the best case your first pick is healthy and excels, while your handcuff is a completely useless player for the entire season. If you took a chance on a sleeper instead of the handcuff, your best case is much sunnier.
