Steven Cozza (born March 3, 1985) is a professional road bicycle racer, who last rode for Team NetApp.
Cozza helped his father co-found the Boy Scouts equality advocacy group Scouting for All when he was 12 years old, and was the focus of Scout's Honor, a film that documented his time as a boy scout and his fight against the Boy Scouts of America's discriminatory policy against gays being allowed in the organization.[1][2]
Cozza broke his left collar bone in his first race of 2010 on stage 2 of the Tour of Qatar, requiring surgery as it was the third time he had broken it. Cozza announced that he would be taking a break from professional cycling in February 2012, in order to fully recover from colitis.[3][4][5] As of July 2012[update] he is a Realtor for Frank Howard Allen in Petaluma, California.[6]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
