With the uncertain status of the NFL's Collective Bargaining Agreement raising some concerns in Indianapolis and Foxborough regarding the contract status of marquee QBs Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, Colts president Bill Polian shed a little light on his approach to the dilemma over the Fourth of July weekend.
"What we don't know is what the system is going forward," Polian told Boston radio station WEEI's Rob Bradford Saturday night at Fenway Park in Boston, as reported by the BostonHerald.com's Rap Sheet blog. "It makes it really difficult working out a deal that makes sense for everybody because you don't know what the (salary) cap will be, what the ramifications are, how things count. All of that makes it a little difficult. We've been going slowly along with (Manning's agent) Tom Condon because we're trying to formulate some things that will fit no matter what the system is."
Manning and Brady are both in the final year of their contracts, and their teams would like to be able to lock them up long term before their deals expire at the end of the league year. Considering that the details of a new CBA may not be finalized until after the end of the upcoming season, teams may have to roll the dice a bit if they want to secure their stars.
"We can't get into the nitty-gritty because we don't know what the rules will be," Polian said. "And that will clarify itself as the year goes on because there will be talks, people will understand what's on the table and what's not on the table. It's not like you're going to get a deal in October, I don't think. If that happens it would be great. But at least you can get a feel for the way things are going."
Manning is finishing a seven-year, $99.2 million contract, with a $34.5 million signing bonus, he signed in 2004. (Technically, it was a nine-year deal, but the final two years will be voided if he meets minimal playing-time standards.)
New England fans are similarly concerned about Brady's future, as little is known about discussions between his agent, Don Yee, and the typically close-mouthed Patriots organization. This is the final season of Brady's six-year, $60 million contract, which calls for a $3.5 million base salary this year.
Speaking to the Boston Globe about Brady in May, Patriots owner Robert Kraft said, "We're very lucky to have him as our quarterback and we want him to be our quarterback for a long time into the future," Kraft said. "Everything he represents is pretty special. He's a winner. We're privileged to have him a part of the New England Patriots organization."

NEW YORK — Investors moved back into stocks after a four-day slide on hopes that a key government report on unemployment will confirm that the economy is gaining strength.
The Dow Jones industrial average tacked on 64 points Thursday after sliding 300 points since Friday. Stocks held to a tight range for much of the day in light trading as some investors squeezed in late-summer vacations. Those remaining braced for the August jobs report, which is due before the opening bell today.
Economists expect the unemployment rate to edge up to 9.5 percent from 9.4 percent.
Trading has been jittery in the past two weeks because some investors who have placed big bets on a recovery are worried that unemployment will make it hard for the economy to pull out of the recession.
By last month, major stock indicators such as the Standard & Poor's 500 index had jumped more than 50 percent from 12-year lows in early March. Analysts say the latest slide was a necessary adjustment for the market, even though it erased only about two weeks' worth of gains. The Dow rose 63.94, or 0.7 percent, to 9,344.61. The S&P 500 rose 8.49, or 0.9 percent, to 1,003.24, while the Nasdaq rose 16.13, or 0.8 percent, to 1,983.20.
Oil fell 9 cents to settle at $67.96 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Quote:How can man proof the meteorite is from Mars?
Quote:Quote:How can man proof the meteorite is from Mars? You asked for "proof", and Rick gave you "evidence". They aren't the same thing, but proof is something you simply don't expect or get in science. We have compelling reasons to conclude that the meteorites are from Mars, and until/unless a better and contrary hypothesis becomes available, that's the conclusion we operate on.
Quote:Blasting a rock from Earth to Mars would be much more difficult, since the Earth has three times the escape velocity. But it could happen, I suppose.
Quote:Generally speaking, for some Martian meteorites, scientists have analyzed microscopic pockets of trapped air inside the meteorite specimen. The components of this trapped air matched the composition of Martian atmosphere as measured by our rovers on Mars (Sojourner, etc).

Parmy Olson, Forbes Staff
I cover agitators and innovators in mobile.
We've come along way looks-wise from our homo sapien ancestors. Between 800,000 and 200,000 years ago, for instance, rapid changes in Earth climate coincided with a tripling in the size of the human brain and skull, leading to a flattening of the face. But how might the physiological features of human beings change in the future, especially as new, wearable technology like Google Glass change the way we use our bodies and faces? Artist and researcher Nickolay Lamm has partnered with a computational geneticist to research and illustrate what we might look like 20,000 years in the future, as well as 60,000 years and 100,000 years out. His full, eye-popping illustrations are at the bottom of this post.
Lamm says this is "one possible timeline," where, thanks to zygotic genome engineering technology, our future selves would have the ability to control human biology and human evolution in much the same way we control electrons to power our world today. (For a critique of the scientific proposals behind Lamm's hypothesis, see this post by Forbes reporter Matthew Herper.)
Lamm speaks of "wresting control" of the human form from natural evolution and bending human biology to suit our needs. The illustrations were inspired by conversations with Dr. Alan Kwan, who holds a PhD in computational genomics from Washington University, UPDATE: Lamm's project was also sponsored by the website MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, where he has a blog.
Kwan based his predictions on what living environments might look like in the future, climate and technological advancements. One of the big changes will be a larger forehead, Kwan predicts – a feature that has already expanding since the 14th and 16th centuries. Scientists writing in the British Dental Journal have suggested that skull-measurement comparisons from that time show modern-day people have less prominent facial features but higher foreheads, and Kwan expects the human head to trend larger to accommodate a larger brain.
Kwan stresses that 60,000 years from now, our ability to control the human genome will also make the effect of evolution on our facial features moot. As genetic engineering becomes the norm, "the fate of the human face will be increasingly determined by human tastes," he says in a research document. Eyes will meanwhile get larger, as attempts to colonize Earth's solar system and beyond see people living in the dimmer environments of colonies further away from the Sun than Earth. Similarly, skin will become more pigmented to lessen the damage from harmful UV radiation outside of the Earth's protective ozone. Kwan expects people to have thicker eyelids and a more pronounced superciliary arch (the smooth, frontal bone of the skull under the brow), to deal with the disruptive effects already observed by present-day astronauts of cosmic rays outside Earth's atmosphere.
The remaining 40,000 years, or 100,000 years from now, Kwan believes the human face will reflect "total mastery over human morphological genetics. This human face will be heavily biased towards features that humans find fundamentally appealing: strong, regal lines, straight nose, intense eyes, and placement of facial features that adhere to the golden ratio and left/right perfect symmetry," he says.
Eyes will seem "unnervingly large" — as least from our viewpoint today — and may feature eye-shine enhance low-light vision and even a sideways blink from re-constituted plica semilunaris to further protect human eyes from the disruptive effect of cosmic rays.
There will be other functional necessities: larger nostrils for easier breathing in off-planet environments, denser hair to contain heat loss from a larger head — features which people may have to weigh up against their tastes for what's genetically trendy at the time. Instead of just debating what to name a child as new parents do today, they might also have to decide if they want their children to carry the most natural expression of a couple's DNA, such as their eye-color, teeth and other features they can genetically alter.
Excessive Borg-like technological implants would start to become untrendy, though, as people start to increasingly value that which makes us look naturally human. That "will be ever more important to us in an age where we have the ability to determine any feature," Kwan says.
Wearable technology will still be around, but in far more subtle forms. Instead of Google Glass and iWatch, people will seek discrete implants that preserve the natural human look – think communication lenses (a technologically souped up version of today's contacts) and miniature bone-conduction devices implanted above the ear. These might have imbedded nano-chips that communicate to another separate device to chat with others or for entertainment.
The bird's eye view of human beings in 100,000 years will be people who want to be wirelessly plugged in, Kwan says, but with minimal disruption to what may then be perceived as the "perfect" human face.

Oh boy, I can't wait to see that! Just don't say, "I told you so!"
So what you're saying is that the Grey Aliens that abduct people are really just time traveling humans from the future?
Yeah I am sort of with this guy. Also doubt we will have that much hair. So putting this out we will look like greys in 200+ thousand years?
I think genetic modifications will speed this process along by ALOT!! Bet we look like that by 2100
you didnt already think that? I figured that out before preschool. It just makes TOO much sense that in the future we would look like that.
I knew that before i got into preschool
I was thinking the same exact thing Anon!
That is actually one of the most popular theories about Greys. This idea is also explored in one of the Doctor Who movies.
Or… the Greys are thousands of years more advanced than humans…
That conspiracy-theory has been around for decades. I even saw it show-cased in a crappy TV movie from 15 years ago. lol
I noted this in the article:
"Similarly, skin will become more pigmented to lessen the damage from harmful UV radiation outside of the Earth's protective ozone."
The pictures don't seem to reflect this though. Do they?
I was thinking more Shrek's Puss-in-boots than aliens with those eyes but the alien travelers sounds better.
We are the Aliens!!!!!
Now, I know why aliens have small thumbs. They have been texting on their iphone with small keyboard for too long 8-)
As anyone who saw Repo Man already knows…
First thing I thought is yep, we become the Greys! Maybe 200,000 years and they become darker & more almond shaped?
Wow that makes a lot of sense! I wonder when we'll start to time-travel
That is really creepy…
and in a million years we develop Time travel and we see ourselves as the "Alien Grays"……
In conclusion, we'll pretty much look like anime characters, according to Dr Kwan.
What about the cervical neck flexors? Wouldn't those have to adjust to hold up the ever expanding head?
well they do have some finite control, but it would be the erector spine that would be changed for a larger hear as central balance would have to change not just some fine control neck muscles, a lot of things would change due to this inherent need for balance, the feet, the hips and the big flexors in the legs…just saying oh and the psoas would change big time
Slow Loris eyes! This looks like something from a sci-fi movie, glad I won't be around to see it.
Sorry, but won't happen.
The migration will be:
1-surgical implants (first just for the rich/very smart)
2-nanobot built implants (for the masses)
3-modfied DNA (ubiquitous)
The human head won't expand, it may even contract because it has less work to do. Same goes for eyes, since the technology will bypass the eye itself.
I betting your right. It won't happen. I think we will extinct ourselves by then. The rich and power will starve or outright kill the masses leaving them to fend for them selves. At which time it will become painfully obvious that they have zero survival skills.
We are our own worst enemy.
Yup, it won't happen and one clue should have been to them the claim that the eyes are: "unnervingly large". Any genetically engineered offspring will be created to be more esthetically pleasing, not less. Presumably they could tinker with our esthetic sense to compensate, but there is no reason to and it seems likely our ability to do that will leg behind our ability to solve these issues using other sorts of technology first.
Yes, esthetic senses vary between cultures and over time to some degree (e.g. preferences for body weight) and therefore aren't entirely innate, but it seems likely in that case our form will follow esthetic fads since there is no reason that far in the future it will need to address functional requirements.
The projections are obviously done by someone with little grasp of how quickly technology advances and the likelihood adaptable nanotechnology (or in some cases just advanced biotechnology) will be able to take on whatever tasks they try to imply we would need to alter our externally visible physical shape for. Why customize ourselves for other environments when nanotech can sit between the environment and ourselves and do it for us. It will allow the same person without modification to have the technology adapt to let them exist comfortably in different environments.
I think it more likely we will split into two groups. One will be genetically modified worker slaves of middling intellect and a highly intelligent 'master race' which will control everything.
Why would those in charge wipe everyone else out when they can enslave them to do all the work?
Big eyes are appealing. Big eyes = cute which is part of the reason babies and puppies are so cute. Having them that big might look weird now, but if they just get slightly bigger each generation I don't think people would find them weird. I agree that we won't have huge eyes though. Our eyes are super inefficient right now, we would either make them more efficient with genetic engineering or implant something in them.
absolutely agreeing with u!! had that thought when I was going through this article… never bothered to mention.. indeed ! technology will supersede and fix all the flaws
automation robots, humans have already been being phased out. In time humans will be of no use only the elite will exist to rule.
agree, I think there will be more focus on not appearing to age rather than altering the basic structure of the face
Didn't Hitler try this??? Humans aren't as smart as they think they are. Each new generation is doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. We really haven't progressed in our actions.
Now why would they do that when we would have the technology to create artificial life and highly developed robots by then?
I'm not sure I agree. "Work" as you say is not the only function of the brain…. In our increasingly interdependent world, with intermingling cultures, technologies, arts, and science the mind is becoming more busy than ever. Yes are we are continually taxing ourselves to perform better at work, at school, at social situations… Looking for the perfect cocktail of vitamins and supplements to enhance our IQ.
But, it's the unnoticed random thoughts and emotions that fill our heads that determine how our brains' are made up and ultimately function..
I don't think people will evolve much, since there is no "survival of the fittest" nowaday, beautiful people marry each other, and the ugly too, the same for the smart one and the not so smart one. Evolve only happen when the environment is too harsh, that the weaker gene dies because it can't adapt to the environment, but consider better technology means the weaker gene will have the same chance to mate and reproduce as the stronger gene.
But the only thing that is changing is the internet, it is causing guys to addict to the internet porn, which makes guys sitting at home instead of go out and flirt with girls, so even the guy is smart, he doesn't have the same chance as the guy who is good looking or social capable, that means that people will be dumber in term of intelligent, but more extroverted,better looking and less introverted.
No. Read "The Caves of Steel" by Asimov, which describes a whole planet with just 20,000 people on it, but 3 billion servant robots. THAT is where we're going. The rich will kill off the masses, and then will survive by relying on machines, which they bought.
Because there's no reason to use humans when you can use machines with limited A.I.
Human work will become obsolete by the time that kind of scenario unfolds.
you mean like what they do now?
See the thing your not getting is this is a span of 100,000 years evolution well do way more in 100,000 years than that. ONce of the biggest factors is humans have evolved more in the last 100 years than the 1000 before that. Our evolution is getting faster by each day we live. The 100,000 is more like 60,000. Plus have you not seen how humans evolved in the last 100,000 years. We had way more drastic changes to ourselves in the last 100,000 years than what that picture is showing for the next 100,000
he's just tryna scare us!
get real people were not going to last 10 yrs let alone 100,000 yrs Syria will tip us into nuclear war. and boom the end!
So… we are devolving into tarsier monkeys?
These pics are absolutely wrong, during the past 6,000 years men have become higher, bolder and smarter (extralayer brain). Blue and Green Eyes are recessive gens, as well, blonde and red hair. In 10,000 years the average people will be bold, with a big head, brown hair and black or browned eyed. The skin will be tanner as the the ozone layer is decreasing.
The pics are posted by caucasians for caucasians. What did you expect?
Oops, did you not get the memo about the official plans for the future? Sorry.
There's a word for people who see conspiracies against them everywhere….. perceptive.
thank you!!
in other words!!!
we started off black WE WILL END BLACK!! lmao..
just like we start off as babies and when we grow old.. what are we? pretty much babies!
This article should seriously be changed to "How White People's Faces Might Look in 100,000 Years." One of the picture captions actually says "Human beings have even larger heads, larger eyes and pigmented skin."
Humans already have pigmented skin. Actually all of us do, unless you have albinism. I suppose the author meant "Human beings will have darker pigmented skin," bot you know the human race already has that too, you know, NOT white people.
Whole thing is ridiculously ethnocentric.
Looks like Asians and blacks are extinct in 100,000 years. I hope this article makes it that far so that my descendants can have a good giggle at the authors expense.

MADISON, Ind., May 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Rotary Lift's free assistPRO™ professional facility planning assistance service is being expanded to give customers additional options for creating custom shop layouts. The expansion comes as demand for the free service hits an all-time high, with more shops now utilizing assistPRO than ever before.

Available to any Rotary Lift customer, assistPRO helps maximize shop efficiency and technician productivity by determining the optimal number, placement and arrangement of vehicle lifts for a new or remodeled facility. Rotary Lift's in-house assistPRO team works with individual customers and architects to create custom facility layouts.
At the beginning of this year, the assistPRO team took on 35 percent more jobs than it did over the same period in 2013. The number of shops taking advantage of the program has more than doubled over the past five years as the economy has improved.
"Dealers and independent shops have recovered from the recession and are starting to invest in their facilities again," says Larry Kendall, assistPRO technical information specialist – facility planner for Rotary Lift. "No matter if they are expanding, moving into new buildings or just upgrading old equipment, it pays to utilize assistPRO. When you include lifts in your shop layout upfront, there is less of a chance you will need to go through a costly redesign and delay the project."
After determining a facility's intended use, the assistPRO team draws a floor layout with lifts placed for maximum productivity. Turning radii and traffic flow are matched to the types of vehicles serviced so technicians will be able to quickly pull into and out of the bays. Rotary Lift provides assistPRO layout drawings in CAD or PDF electronic formats or as color prints, based on customer preference. Turnaround is fast (usually seven to 10 days), so users can get to work on their new spaces as soon as possible.
assistPRO is expanding its digital offerings to include 3-D SketchUp models of Rotary Lift vehicle lifts. The models will be available for download through SketchUp's 3D Warehouse at https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/ later in 2014. Rotary Lift currently offers CAD blocks, 3-D BIM models and written specifications for its products through ARCAT, and the SketchUp models will give architects and distributors an additional easy-to-use resource for helping customers.
To learn more about assistPRO, contact your local Rotary Lift distributor, visit www.rotarylift.com or call (800) 640-5438. You can also find Rotary Lift on Facebook, www.facebook.com/RotaryLift; Twitter, twitter.com/RotaryLift; YouTube, www.youtube.com/user/RotaryLiftVideos; and Vimeo, http://vimeo.com/groups/rotary.

According to reports by multiple news outlets, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights has launched an investigation into claims of racial discrimination against the San Mateo Union High School District.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the complaint was lodged by a handful of local families who claim their Chinese children were transferred out of "a high-performing high school"—namely, —to "a lower-performing high school"—.
The Office of Civil Rights said the complaints allege that the Chinese students were discriminated against by the school district because it held them "to different standards for demonstrating residency or guardianship than students of other races or national origins."
However, Kirk Black, associate superintendent of human resources and administrative services for SMUHSD, told The San Mateo Daily Journal that there could be any number of reasons for the students' placement at Capuchino, though they requested to attend Mills.
Black cited examples such as school capacity issues; that other students were sent to Mills because of a need for better English-learner classes or a need to make up units that are not offered at all schools; or because too many other students had seniority because of siblings at the school, among other reasons.
The school district sent out a statement in response to the allegations, which the Daily Journal published, saying: "The Office for Civil Rights is investigating a complaint, and the district is fully cooperating with the investigation. We cannot, however, comment on the substance of an ongoing investigation."
Patch is attempting to contact the parties involved and will update this story as soon as additional information becomes available.

August 2, 2014
Exactly one year ago, residents of a west side Madison neighborhood were cleaning up, after a tornado touched down near their homes.
Thursday night, Midvale Heights neighbors came together as survivors of one of the city's largest natural disasters.
On June 23rd, 2004, a tornado downed trees, damaged homes, and left hundreds of people without power for days.
Thursday night, the victims gathered at Segoe Park to share their experiences, photographs, and remember the event that changed their lives.
The F–1 tornado may have changed how the neighborhood looks on the outside, but according to residents, the community is stronger than ever.
"We survived something together. It really bonded us together, and we're celebrating that tonight. It's truly the strength and determination of neighbors," says event organizer Craig Robida.
"We feel very fortunate and as you can see from the gathering here I think the storm really increased the sense of community in our neighborhood," says neighborhood resident Charlie Bunge.
Residents admit the gathering was bittersweet, but say they are thankful that no lives were lost in the storm.

A couple of albums from 2012 we missed . . .
Martha Wainwright
"Come Home to Mama"
(V2/Cooperative Music)
A couple of albums from 2012 we missed . . .
Martha Wainwright
"Come Home to Mama"
(V2/Cooperative Music)
Three stars
At No. 11 on my (and, I suspect, many others') 10 best albums of 2012 list is "Out of the Game," Rufus Wainwright's funny, funky collaboration with producer Mark Ronson. But if "Out of the Game" got a bit lost in the Frank-and-Fiona shuffle, it at least made a bigger splash than the latest from Wainwright's younger sister Martha, who like Rufus was born to the urbane folk singers Kate McGarrigle and Loudon Wainwright III.
McGarrigle died in early 2010, weeks after Martha became a mother herself, and that's the experience she recounts on "Come Home to Mama," a powerful set of songs — including the last one written by McGarrigle — released to minimal fanfare in mid-October. It's worth your attention now: In eloquently rendered tunes such as "Leave Behind" and "Everything Wrong," Martha ponders the intricacies of life and death with the kind of clear-eyed honesty we rarely get from someone as close to them as she still is.
And working with producer Yuka Honda (of Cibo Matto), she makes her music move like it never has before, as in the swaggering "Radio Star" and the horn-enriched soul-rock of "Can You Believe It?" Even McGarrigle's "Proserpina," a hushed piano ballad about the ancient goddess of springtime, oozes a humid sensuality.

Arizona Dranes
"He Is My Story: The Sanctified Soul of Arizona Dranes"
(Tompkins Square)
Three stars
Dranes was a blind gospel singer and pianist from Texas whose recordings surveyed here from the 1920s and '30s remained little known before this release, even among gospel enthusiasts. "Perhaps that's because she always listed her occupation as missionary or evangelist — not musician — and looked the part," writes journalist and historian Michael Corcoran in a 48-page booklet accompanying the 16-track CD.
Dranes, Corcoran argues convincingly, was the first musician to make gospel recordings using piano and, more significantly, the first to bring the electrifying performance style of the Pentecostal church into the recording studio. She influenced subsequent generations of musicians, including the widely acknowledged "father of gospel music" Thomas Dorsey as well as early rockers such as Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis.
In "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go," she invokes a penetrating vocal rasp that informs gospel, blues and R&B singing today. Many of the recordings feature only Dranes, her piano and her high, quavering voice, but several include accompaniment from other musicians. The audio quality is predictably primitive, but Dranes' spirit comes through undistorted by time.

TIFFIN– Week one of the high school football season found the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clippers at home against the Mt. Pleasant Panthers. The Panthers put up a touchdown each quarter, taking the victory 28-16.
The Clippers had the first possession of the night, which came to a sudden stop just three plays in as a Konrad Moore pass was intercepted. It only took the Panthers two plays to put up the first touchdown followed by a successful PAT for the 7-0 lead.

NORTH LIBERTY– Leaving for the day, weekend or an extended amount of time –for vacation, hospitalization or otherwise – can pose a problem when pets are involved.
Where will they stay, and with whom? How much will it cost, and will the pet feel comfortable? These are just a few questions that may pop up before care of the family pet is entrusted to an outside source.
But one sitter believes the best place to leave a pet is at home and is a decision that offers a health benefit.

North Liberty Leader
SOLON– But for one game, the 2011 season opener last Thursday night pitting the Lady Spartans against the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clippers would've been perfect.
Solon's freshmen won 25-22 and 25-22, the sophomores won 25-17 and 25-9; and the JV squad prevailed 25-21 and 25-12. The marquee match-up put the varsity squads in action with Solon reigning 3-1.
SOLON– The Solon City Council will ask residents to decide whether or not to purchase the Brosh Chapel as the site for a new city hall.
At an Aug. 3 meeting, council members voted to move forward with the purchase of Brosh location, contingent on voter approval of a bond issue on the November general election ballot.
Now, the city will spend the next two months deciding on financing options and trying to educate the public about the reasons behind the decision.
SOLON– The Solon American Legion Riders have launched their fall raffle. Funds from the raffle are used in various community projects– including providing an annual scholarship to a Solon graduating senior whose parent or grandparent has served in the military, and sending Christmas care packages to local service personnel serving around the world during the holiday season.
TIFFIN– On Sept. 30, the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clipper football team will host a special fundraiser, Pink Out 2011, to benefit local cancer clinics.
Actor and CCA alumnus Ashton Kutcher donated pink jerseys for the CCA football team for that night's game. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase game jerseys during a silent auction held that night. Kutcher and his wife, actress Demi Moore, also autographed jerseys that will be part of the auction.
NORTH LIBERTY– How do you know if you need a trust instead of a simple will? Many people assume that Revocable Living Trusts are just for the wealthy, but the benefits they can offer to the average person are significant.
Join Collins Community Credit Union (CCCU) and First Community Trust for a free estate planning seminar. The seminar will summarize the estate planning process and address factors to consider when assessing the need for a simple will versus a Revocable Living Trust.
NORTH LIBERTY– The North Liberty Fire Department celebrates Salute to Summer tomorrow, Saturday, August 27, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at Bobber's Grill, 1850 Scales Bend Road in North Liberty. For the motorcycle fans, the Pokere Run begins at 9 a.m. For kids, there are lots of games and rides - the pony rides are back again! For everyone, there will be food, music and prizes, including a chance to win a cruise. For more information, visit http://www.nlfire.org.
Ten years ago this week, a newspaper veteran took a chance. And a relative newcomer in the industry began what's been a dream gig.
My business partner and I celebrate 10 years of business this week. It's been a helluva ride– with no doubt more peaks and valleys to come.
My relationship with the telephone began when I was in second grade. My mother was expecting my youngest sister and Dad thought it a good idea for me and my other two sisters to be able to reach him on the phone – just in case "something" happened to Mother and she couldn't get to the phone. Nearly everybody in Knoxville had four-party lines at that time. Long before the days of the rotary dial, we simply picked up the handset and, when the operator said, "Number please," we told her the number we wanted.

The New York Philharmonic
New York Philharmonic Music Director Alan Gilbert began his tenure in September 2009. The first native New Yorker to hold the post, he has sought to make the Orchestra a point of pride for the city and country. "He is building a legacy that matters and is helping to change the template for what an American orchestra can be," The New York Times praised.
Mr. Gilbert and the Philharmonic have forged artistic partnerships, introducing the positions of The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence and The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence, held in the 2013–14 season by Christopher Rouse and pianist Yefim Bronfman, respectively; an annual festival, which this season is The Beethoven Piano Concertos; CONTACT!, the new-music series, extending its reach this season with more concerts in new venues across the city; and, beginning in the spring of 2014, the NY PHIL BIENNIAL, an exploration of today's music by a wide range of contemporary and modern composers.
In the 2013–14 season Alan Gilbert conducts Mozart's three final symphonies; the score from 2001: A Space Odyssey as the film is screened, as part of THE ART OF THE SCORE: Film Week at the Philharmonic; the U.S. Premiere of Mark-Anthony Turnage's Frieze coupled with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony; world premieres; an all-Britten program celebrating the composer's centennial; and a staged production of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd starring Bryn Terfel and Emma Thompson. He also continues The Nielsen Project, the multi-year initiative to perform and record the Danish composer's symphonies and concertos, the first release of which was named by The New York Times as among the Best Classical Music Recordings of 2012. The Music Director will preside over the ASIA / WINTER 2014 tour, with stops including Tokyo and Seoul, featuring Artist-in-Residence Yefim Bronfman performing Magnus Lindberg's Piano Concerto No. 2, Composer-in-Residence Christopher Rouse's Rapture, and Alan Gilbert narrating Britten's The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra in Japanese at a Young People's Concert in Tokyo.
Last season's highlights included Bach's B-minor Mass and Ives's Fourth Symphony, and, during the EUROPE / SPRING 2013 tour, participating in the Vienna Konzerthaus's centennial and performing Lindberg's Kraft and Rouse's Prospero's Rooms at the Volkswagen Transparent Factory. The season concluded with A Dancer's Dream, a multidisciplinary reimagining of Stravinsky's The Fairy's Kiss and Petrushka, created by Giants Are Small and starring New York City Ballet principal dancer Sara Mearns.
High points of Mr. Gilbert's first three Philharmonic seasons included the critically celebrated productions of Ligeti's Le Grand Macabre (2010) and Janácek's Cunning Little Vixen (2011) — both cited as the top cultural events of their respective years — and Philharmonic 360 (2012), the acclaimed spatial music program featuring Stockhausen's Gruppen. Other highlights include World Premieres of works by Magnus Lindberg, John Corigliano, Christopher Rouse, and composers featured on CONTACT!; Mahler's Second Symphony, Resurrection, on A Concert for New York on September 10; Mr. Gilbert's Philharmonic debut as violin soloist in J.S. Bach's Concerto for Two Violins; five concerts at Carnegie Hall; five tours to Europe; and the Asia Horizons tour.
In September 2011 Alan Gilbert became Director of Conducting and Orchestral Studies at The Juilliard School, where he is also the first holder of Juilliard's William Schuman Chair in Musical Studies. Conductor laureate of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and principal guest conductor of Hamburg's NDR Symphony Orchestra, he regularly conducts leading orchestras nationally and internationally, such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and the Berlin Philharmonic. His 2013–14 season engagements include appearances with the Berlin Philharmonic, Juilliard Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, Munich Philharmonic, NDR Symphony Orchestra, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, and Orchestre National de Lyon.
Alan Gilbert made his acclaimed Metropolitan Opera debut in 2008 leading John Adams's Doctor Atomic; the DVD and Blu-ray of this production received the 2012 Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording. Renée Fleming's recent Decca recording Poèmes, on which he conducted, received a 2013 Grammy Award. Earlier releases garnered Grammy Award nominations and top honors from the Chicago Tribune and Gramophone magazine.
Mr. Gilbert studied at Harvard University, The Curtis Institute of Music, and Juilliard and was assistant conductor of The Cleveland Orchestra (1995–97). In May 2010 he received an Honorary Doctor of Music degree from Curtis, and in December 2011 he received Columbia University's Ditson Conductor's Award for his "exceptional commitment to the performance of works by American composers and to contemporary music." In 2014 he was elected to The American Academy of Arts & Sciences.

Cellist Jan Vogler has appeared with internationally renowned orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Dresden Staatskapelle, and the Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh, Montreal, Cincinnati, Bavarian Radio, and Vienna symphony orchestras. He regularly performs recitals and chamber concerts with pianists Hélène Grimaud and Martin Stadfeld and violinist Mira Wang. Mr. Vogler embraces traditional repertoire as well as the work of his contemporaries, and has recently premiered works by Tigran Mansurian with the WDR Symphony Orchestra, John Harbison with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and Udo Zimmermann with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
Following summer performances at the Moritzburg Chamber Music Festival, Mr. Vogler's 2011–12 season features appearances with the Mariinsky Orchestra and Valery Gergiev, Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and Fabio Luisi, Munich Philharmonic and Lorin Maazel, and the Czech Philharmonic, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and Curtis Symphony. He also performs at Prague's Dvořák Festival, Paris's Cité de la Musique and Salle Pleyel, and on tour in Germany with the New York-based orchestra The Knights.
Mr. Vogler records exclusively for SONY Classical; in July 2011 he released an all-Schubert recording with the Moritzburg Festival, and is scheduled to release the complete Bach cello suites soon. My Tunes 2 features works by Paganini, Kreisler, Rimsky-Korsakov, Fauré, and Wagner. Other recent recordings include Experience: Live from New York, recorded at Le Poisson Rouse, featuring works by Shostakovich and Machine Gun, by Jimi Hendrix, and the multiple award-winning The Secrets of Dvořák's Cello Concerto with the New York Philharmonic conducted by David Robertson. Mr. Vogler can also be heard performing music ranging from Mendelssohn to Elliott Carter on labels including NEOS and Berlin Classics.
A cello prodigy at age six, Jan Vogler first studied with his father, Peter Vogler, and subsequently with Josef Schwab, Heinrich Schiff, and Siegfried Palm. At the age of 20 he became principal cello of the Dresden Staatskapelle. He has won the Echo-Award and the 2006 European Cultural Award. He is general director of the Dresden Musikfestspiele and founder and artistic director of the Moritzburg Chamber Music Festival.

A Franklin Park couple accused of physically abusing and starving two children they adopted from Ethiopia in March now face additional charges.
Prosecutors amended charges today against , at a preliminary hearing scheduled before District Judge Robert Ford in Leetsdale.
As a result of the new charges, defense attorneys asked that the preliminary hearing for the couple again be postponed. A new court date is set for Jan. 18.
Among the new charges filed was an additional count of aggravated assault related to the Barbour's 6-year-old adopted son. The charge is based on allegations that the couple withheld food from the child, said Douglas Barbour's defense attorney, Charles Porter.
Porter and Robert Stewart, the attorney representing Kristen Barbour, said it makes no sense that the couple would adopt and abuse two children from Ethiopia, but not abuse their biological children. They say the Barbours are upset and frustrated.
"You can imagine it's been very difficult on them," Porter said.
Douglas Barbour, a Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General, has been suspended from his state job without pay since he and his wife were arrested Oct. 4. He now faces two counts each of simple assault, aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of children and reckless endangerment.
His wife, Kristen Barbour, is also now charged with two counts each of reckless endangerment and aggravated assault, and one count of simple assault. The Barbours previously were charged with aggravated assault solely in relation to allegations of abuse of their 1-year-old adopted daughter.
Defense attorneys today said there was no indication when they spoke to prosecutors last week that prosecutors would amend the charges "at the 11th hour." The defense agreed to seek a continuance to properly prepare for the new charges.
"We obviously dispute the allegations," Porter said.
This is the third time the hearing has been postponed for the Barbours, who remain free on bond.
According to the criminal complaint, the Barbours are accused of starving their adopted 6-year-old son and leaving him with lesions from being kept in urine-soaked clothing for long periods of time.
Porter said the older child had serious issues that the parents tried to deal with to the best of their abilities. Stewart said the boy was defecating in his bed and putting his feces under the bed, so the mattress was placed on the floor.
Porter said Kristen Barbour maintained a blog and seemed to consistently be reaching out for help with the family's situation. Douglas Barbour spent most of his time at work, Porter said, adding that reports indicating the parents gave the boy a barren room with a mattress is "simply not true."
Dr. Rachel Berger at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC recommended that the boy be permitted no contact with the Barbours. She also determined that the 18-month-old adopted girl not be returned to the Barbours' home, police said in the complaint.
The girl will likely remain permanently blind in one eye and paralyzed after suffering abusive head trauma, according to the criminal complaint. A doctor determined she had suffered multiple hemorrhages, fractures and injuries to both eyes and had been a victim of physical abuse, including abusive head trauma, according to the complaint.
In October, Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey A. Manning ruled that the Barbours would be permitted supervised visitation with their two biological children, ages 2 and 4, pending approval of the judge who is presiding over the matter in Family Court, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported.
Attorneys said the Barbours have had supervised visits with their biological children since their arrests, but the attorneys couldn't say if the Barbours have seen their adopted children. The matter of supervision is still pending in the courts.

Product Review: Diffpack
Manufacturer: Numerical Objects AS
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Price: Varies according to license (see below)
Reviewer: Jim Moore
Diffpack is an object-oriented toolkit for creating numerical analysis applications. It provides high-level building blocks which may be put together to rapidly create a high-quality application for solving partial differential equations. The software package has an accompanying book, Computational Partial Differential Equations (CPDE) by Hans Petter Langtangen (Springer-Verlag).
I must admit I was immediately impressed with the book because it was typeset with TeX by the author, and as any TeX user will tell you, using it is a sign of intelligence. The book is well made and beautifully set. It is written in a style very similar to The Visualization Toolkit by William Schroeder, et al. (Prentice Hall Computer Books) in which a careful description of the approach and methodology for building numerical algorithms for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) is given, with all the examples being demonstrations of the Diffpack software.
CPDE begins with a strong and well-supported endorsement of object-oriented programming. It then proceeds to describe PDEs of increasing complexity and numerical approaches which can deal with them. The book explains the difficulties of the mathematics as well as the intricacies involved when the PDEs are "linearized" into systems of algebraic equations and solved in various ways. Techniques for performance optimization are also covered. With each level of complexity, relevant sample problems are solved using the Diffpack software to demonstrate how the problem can be solved. CPDE focuses more on the finite element method than the finite difference method, probably due to the author's experience, but gives sufficient coverage to both.
The main chapter topics accurately describe the content of the book:
1. Getting Started
2. Introduction to Finite Element Discretization
3. Programming of Finite Element Solvers
4. Nonlinear Problems
5. Solid Mechanics Applications
6. Fluid Mechanics Applications
7. Coupled Problems
Appendix A. Mathematical Topics
Appendix B. Diffpack Topics
Appendix C. Iterative Methods for Sparse Linear Systems
Appendix D. Software Tools for Solving Linear Systems
There are 127 exercises to help a student of numerical methods deepen her understanding of the topic. The demonstrations make wide use of tools commonly available on Linux systems such as Gnuplot, Plotmtv, Matlab, Vtk and Xmgr. The scientific Linux user will feel very much "at home" reading this text. My usual complaint for technical books is that they either go too far with examples and don't provide enough background, or they do the opposite and go too far with theory and leave the reader with no concrete way to apply it. In my opinion, this book has struck the balance well. I wholeheartedly recommend it as a general text on the topic. If you plan to use Diffpack, it is a requirement.
Diffpack is available for all major UNIX flavors and the Win32 platform. I tested the software only on Linux. There are four types of licenses: Commercial Developer, Non-Profit Developer, University Developer and University Classroom. They initially cost $9995 US, $3150 US, $995 US and $1995 US, respectively. The classroom license allows five concurrent users. Annual service contracts cost roughly 13.5% per license and additional licenses cost less than the initial license. There is an additional fee for multi-license, multi-platform support as well. For further price information, contact Numerical Objects AS directly.
Though I did not test it, a plug-in called the Adaptivity Toolbox is available which enables any application to implement adaptive grid technology. It comes at an additional price ranging from $995 US to $3150 US depending on the type of license. This tool is essential for some applications and should be added directly as part of the cost of the purchase price. If your problem involves changes of scale of an order of magnitude or more, you will probably need this tool.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

thats right, my bench is an embarassment to what ive been reading on this PL forum. im fine with my deadlift and squat numbers, but im having a hell of a time trying to jump my bench numbers.
heres my current PR and i been going at it for 3 months about.
bench: 185lb x 4 reps
200lbs, 5'7, 19 M
you can see i dont go for max reps since i want to build some muscle and strength. but i was told triceps is one of the greater areas to concentrate on to improve bench so therefore, i had a dedicated tricep day once in a while. so im here seeking advice on what specific exercises you do to boost the bench digits?
Last edited by jtteg_x; 08-26-2005 at 01:07 AM.
ive been working out for almost 4 years. i bulked up from 155 to 205, back down to 185, and now back up to 200. i've struggled with flat bb bench for a long time as well. for 3 years my max was 225 x 1. i finally hit 250 last winter. i hit 270 today, and i finally feel slightly respectable. but in reality i won't be happy until i hit 3 plates. that's a decent bench.
3 things really helped me...
2. Superdrol (I'm on a 4 week cycle)
3. Having days where i just do a few sets of heavy bench in between chest days.
I would say focus on EATING!!!! Never stop shoving food in your mouth and benching. Also, work on your grip and form. It won't hurt to improve your tricep strength... and also remember speed = power. work on pressing with some force behind it.
just my 2 copper coins...
Why are you so deadset on getting stronger in the bench? Develop overall pressing strength and test out the bench on occasion.
Vin Diesel has a fever.. and the only prescription is more cowbell.
Budiak: That girl I maced

galileo: hate

Doing pushups will definately help with your bench if you are that worried about it. I said this before and I will say it again, some of the best powerlifters that I know at the high school level do sets of 20 pushups when they are watching television and a commercial comes on. Do those all the time and you will improve your bench.
249lbs cutting to 220lbs
Bench: 250
Deadlift: 435
Squat: 350
A pushup isn't exactly what your going to want to work with, once you get past noobie gains. All the pushups in the world wont make much a difference once you start getting close to pressing your bodyweight.
Hmmm... I've never met anyone benching more than 225 who got much from push-ups...Originally Posted by sharkall2003
I'm not saying push-ups are worthless and I think I remember reading an article about Fred Boldt(?) doing pushups in his training, BUT there are a lot of other things that would probably be more productive and time & effort-efficient as far as boosting your bench. Namely: close grip bench, upper back work, and technique work (grip width, arch, upper back tightness, leg drive).
4-6 sets of 4-6 reps, or 5X5 + a lot of food = your bench numbers going up
"It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"
Richard Dawkins
"Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."
Richard Dawkins
"Bah. You know I hate poor people."
Paul Stagg
My bench sucks too. My best bench has been only 215 for reps, but lately that 215 has eluded me. I'm repping at 205. I'm also dieting down, so something's got to give. I know this. Once I lose the excess blubber and can go on a bulk, I'll bet my bench will improve. But for now, I just don't want to lose ground.

if you wanna improve your bench you gotta eat alot,Bench heavy all the time and if you are looking to improve your 1RM (it works for me...) stick to low reps...What is your one rep max as of the moment? Because if you tell my that I can give you a good benching set up. It was designed by a pro football player who benches like in the 400s RAW. Also from personal experiance I know I am improving everyworkout with that program
Realy can you tell me about it, I wanna add a couple more digits to my bench. My 1rm is around 245lbs.
Numbers look about in proportion to me. Squat seems lower than bench.
Age: 18
Height: 5'10
Weight: 205
Yeah hold up I'll go get my chart...Errr I'll just PM the workout to you
post it!!
i wanna try it
bench: 270 x 1 @ 195
deads: 425 x 1 @ 187
squat: 410 x 1 @ 205
i want to get my bench in the 300's
Its really long and alot to try to type out...
It's yours to share or not as you will, but if you're going to type it out for a PM, couldn't you just cut and paste it?
Yes sir I could but I gave it to him for his 1RM specfically see the paper I got don't got percentages just weight and reps hows this later tonight I'll type it all out as for right now I gotta go bench myself wish me luck
I think we're all smart enough to extrapolate things from either weights or %s...
You wanna be nice and do the math for us then.
Hope you werent refering to me...because I can't...I can barley count I hate math
I agree. Your squat looks worse than your bench. 185x4 is not THAT bad. Just keep at it, bench heavy. If you are looking to improve your single rep max, you have to work on heavy singles. Do multiple sets of 3's then work your way up to multiple sets of singles. You should go up 5 lbs every 2 weeks or so for a while. Also, do some lockout work, dips, and close-grips, too. You'll get your numbers up.
5'9" 195 lbs
DL 600x1
SQ 490x1 (raw)
BP 430x1 (shirted), 320x1 (raw)
SN 209x1 C+J 250x1

thanks for the replies all.
yeah, my squats are pretty horrible as well. i been squating for about 1.5-2 months now and im looking forward to jump up to at least 260lb x3 by the end of the year.
Gutz, i never did 1 rep max on bench, but tomorrow is my chest/tri day and ill see what my max is then ill let you know.

Maryville High School, John Sevier Elementary and the Maryville City School System were announced as SCORE Prize finalists Wednesday, Sept. 7, and are in the running for $35,000 in total prize money.
The State Collaborative on Reforming Education (SCORE) on Sept. 7 announced the 12 finalists for the inaugural SCORE Prize Award. The Prize will be awarded to the elementary, middle and high school, along with one school district in Tennessee that have most dramatically improved student achievement in spite of the challenges they face.
The winners of the SCORE Prize will be announced at an event at the historic Ryman Auditorium at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20.
The event will be hosted by SCORE Chairman and former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and will feature a performance by Grammy-nominated country music star Josh Turner. Tennessee Commissioner of Education Kevin Huffman will make remarks during the event.
In the running for $10,000 prizes are John Sevier Elementary and Maryville High School and in the running for $25,000 in prize money is the Maryville City School System.
The 12 SCORE Prize finalists in the Elementary category are: Charlotte Elementary in Dickson County, Fairview Elementary in Anderson County and John Sevier Elementary in Maryville City.
In the Middle School category are: Jo Byrns High School in Robertson County, Power Center Academy in Memphis and South Cumberland Elementary in Cumberland County.
In the High School category are: Fred J. Page High School in Williamson County, Maryville High School in Maryville City and Mt. Juliet High School in Wilson County.
In the District category are: Loudon County Schools, Maryville City Schools and Williamson County Schools.
"In awarding The SCORE Prize, SCORE aims to recognize those schools and districts in Tennessee that are doing the hard work of education reform," said Frist. "These schools and districts are preparing more and more students for college and the workforce. We will highlight and share their best practices, and show other schools and districts throughout Tennessee that improvement is possible."
The SCORE Prize will award $10,000 to the elementary, middle, and high school and $25,000 to one district in Tennessee that have most dramatically improved student achievement. Winners are chosen in a two-step process; the first stage identified finalists through a multi-staged criteria selection process that set benchmarks for attendance rate, TVAAS growth, and TCAP improvement, and awarded bonus points for ACT college-readiness benchmark rates and college-going rates, among others; the second stage consisted of site visits of the finalists to document the policies and practices that have enabled schools and districts to make significant gains in student achievement.
The SCORE Prize event is being held in conjunction with the Tennessee Department of Education's annual LEAD Conference. To learn more about the selection process and the selection committee, and find information about attending the event, visit: www.tnscore.org/scoreprize.

I tested nearly all distros :D
Ubuntu 12.4: not so good. graphic problem could be solved by installing gallium driver. slow wifi by changing some setting is solvable
Mint: slow
fedora 17: wifi and graphic problem (Im not so familiar with fedora)
Ubuntu 12.10: occasional wifi problem. very slow with unity
opensuse: very slow
jolicloud: unsupported. over heat problem (strange)
so I recommend to os for this laptop
1: Lubuntu 12.4: very fast. wifi is great. graphic works fine, very fast and stable (need help? email me (email@example.com)
2. windows 8 core version. all the things works fine and even better than win7.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- One of the Green Bay Packers most popular players gets a special tribute.
The City Council Tuesday night voted unanimously to rename a downtown street "Donald Driver Way." The wide receiver retired last month after spending 14 seasons with the Packers. Driver is also recognized for his off-the-field charity work.
Driver retired after catching 743 passes for 10,137 yards after making the team as a seventh-round draft pick out of Alcorn State in 1999.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — EMPIRE — One year ago Cassy McQuaid Stone said she would never run a marathon.
On Sunday, she will be standing at the start of the Sleeping Bear Dunes Marathon with about 400 others, ready to run farther than she ever has before.
McQuaid Stone was at the finish line of last year's Detroit Marathon, watching others, including her husband Jeb Stone, cross the finish line when she declared to herself that she had no interest in ever completing the 26.2-mile race.
"I've participated in the half-marathon quite a few times at Bayshore here in Traverse," she said. "(At the finish line in Detroit) I remember thinking, 'There is no way that I would ever even imagine what that would feel like, nor would I even want to sign up for something that made me look like those people did.'"
But things changed over the next few months as she began thinking how she could pull it off if she continued training beyond last spring's Bayshore Half-Marathon, just increasing her workouts and sticking with a training plan. Lo and behold, when it came time to sign up for Sunday's event back in February, she went for it.
"When I did (sign up), I didn't tell anybody. I didn't even talk to my husband about it," she said. "He came home from work, I think it was February 28, and I said, 'I signed up for a marathon Oct. 6.' He kind of laughed and said, 'Alright, sure.'"
This is the second running of the Sleeping Bear Dunes Marathon and Half-Marathon. Last year's inaugural race featured just under 300 runners, but Endurance Evolution — which is running the event — saw a significant increase in entries this year. Participants are coming from as many as 18 states, with runners from as far as Hawaii and California having signed up.
"The Sleeping Bear Dunes, we've obviously gotten a lot of national attention in the last couple of years with all the top 10 lists and with Good Morning America's Most Beautful Place in America," said race co-director Joel Gaff, Jr. "So you've got people coming from all over the place. Scenery hopefully will be the thing that is the big draw for the race. That's kind of why when we decided to start planning this race a couple of years ago, it was because of the fall colors in Leelanau County and Sleeping Bear Dunes area. It's a gorgeous time of year."
McQuaid Stone will be there to soak it all in, a celebration of the last 18 weeks of preparation.
"I've enjoyed it more than I thought I really ever would, and the best part of the whole thing is the race is just the party," she said. "I've really already done all the hard work. I've really learned more about myself through this journey than I have with anything else and I'm really proud of that."
She said one of her biggest goals is to get through the whole race without stopping.
"I think that's attainable," she said. "I think in my mind I would like to be under 4 hours and 20 minutes. I'm not trying to qualify for Boston. I'm not trying to do anything other than get through this. I think a big part of my goal was I did this by myself. I trained by myself. I was accountable for myself. I think that was a pretty big thing for me. Of course, people have run with me and been huge supporters of me, but I've been able to set my own pace and my own goals as I've gone along the way.
Interestingly enough, McQuaid Stone says this probably won't be her only marathon.
"I'm afraid I'm going to cross that finish line and go, 'Oh, I want to go faster.'"
This week's federal government shutdown has closed the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park, but Gaff, Jr. said that won't affect the race. The course is set up on county roads that pass the Dune Climb, Little Glen Lake and through Glen Arbor.
"We're lucky in that regard that we shouldn't be affected by it," he said. "Although we did have somebody call us who was going to be camping at DH Day Campground (which is closed). Some of our participants may run into an issue with the camping."
