Catching up.
Well, it's been a while since I've posted, and this is primarily due to a lot of very big projects we're working on here at MoreDigital, much to the benefit of our clients. We tend not to do something by halves, and are extremely, extremely fast when it comes to getting a client what they need, while maintaining high standards in terms of quality and research. If it means pizza delivery to the office front door and a constant hammering of keyboards and yelling into phones coming from my team's desk, that's not because we're tweeting away instead of blogging, just holding down the fort.
While I've been away from the MoreDigital CMS, there's been a lot of stuff floating around the web, none of it particularly important in the wake of what's going on in Japan. The competition to win Jason a honeymoon didn't go brilliantly, and the winners I'm sure are celebrating the viral prowess of their own media, but I've learnt a lot about what it takes to win big on the web, since then, and from what I've heard, he's hard at work crafting the perfect wedding regardless; a graceful and admirable reaction.
There are a lot of different Twitter and Facebook accounts floating around the office, all of them used by either us, personally, or to just chat to people as a company, and it's been interesting to watch people's reactions to our various endeavours (such as the Jason-Stephanie campaign). In the next week there'll be posts going up regularly again, and I'll be back to covering a range of topics that centre around social media and technology that can help small businesses become big (or successful) businesses.
That's the key, really – a great social media presence may help you to double your yearly revenue, but ultimately that doesn't necessarily mean you have to upgrade, or get a dedicated tweeter. There are countless companies who've employed perhaps a couple more people since hitting the big time, but that's it. If you can still do everything you want to do with the same amount of people, why splurge out on in-house consultants or social media experts?
For every in-house pro, there are a hundred agencies that can do exactly the same thing, minus the cost of a yearly salary, and if you're working on a project with a window less than twelve months, don't bother – save yourself the cash, even if it ends up going towards a team-building paintball session, though hopefully your employees don't find the idea of shooting you more appealing than, say, going for drinks, but you never know.
It's also spring, as evidenced by the weather getting ever-the-more wonderful as time slowly progresses, and of course the inset of looking forward to the various big media releases and second-quarter gadgets making an appearance, so there's lots to talk about whether you're into music, films, games, phones, computers and other bits and bobs. So there's a lot to look forward to, and I'll be behind the keyboard for most of it. Welcome back, readers.

JSU athletics director Warren Koegel said Monday the formation of a small search committee is underway and the hiring process is going to move "a little quicker than I originally thought."
Koegel said he would like to have the new coach hired by the end of June, in time for the July 1 start of recruiting for women's basketball. That would place on-campus interviews taking place some time within the next two weeks.
Since last week's announcement of coach Annette Watts' resignation, the Gamecocks are said to have received nearly 40 inquiries into the vacancy. Koegel said he was offered numerous potential candidates during the Alabama Sports Writers Association banquet over the weekend.
"There are a lot of people who are interested in being a head coach," Koegel said.
Whoever gets the job will be responsible for changing the culture of the program. The JSU women's basketball team has lost 20 games or more in six of the last seven years, and the one break in the run was a 19-loss season. Last year's team went 1-27 and didn't win until the next to last game of the season.
"It's wide open," Koegel said. "We're going to get the best person for the job, the best fit for Jacksonville Sate.
"We want to make sure that we're very thorough and looking at everything and check out everybody good because our girls certainly deserve a chance to go out and have a good experience, and they want somebody to come in and lead them."
Koegel declined to identify individuals being sought for the search committee, although he said senior women's administrator Tracy Broom – a former JSU women's basketball standout – and assistant athletics director Greg Bonds would be "very involved."
GREEN DEAL: An agreement apparently has been reached on a new contract for JSU men's basketball coach James Green, although nothing has been signed.
Green just completed the third year of a five-year deal that missed a chance to be reviewed after Year Two, a season that included an OVC Tournament victory. He directed the Gamecocks to their winningest season in 10 years this past season.
The new deal is believed to be for five years.
"We have not signed the actual contract, although we're in agreement," Koegel said. "I'd rather wait until we sign it (to comment)."
Meanwhile, The Star has confirmed the signing of a second player to Green's incoming class. Earnest Hunter, a 6-8 forward from East Mississippi CC, will join the Gamecocks after an improved sophomore season, in which he averaged 8.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 41 blocked shots.
Hunter averaged 1.3 points and 1.8 rebounds as a freshman. EMCC head coach Mark White confirmed Hunter's signing.
Earlier this spring, The Star reported the signing of East Georgia College forward D.J. Felder.
• June is the month for Green's camps at Pete Mathews Coliseum.
They will hold individual day camp for boys in grades 1-8 June 24-26, an individual skills camp for boys grades 7-12 June 27 and team camps June 28 and 29. Call Garland Wilson at 782-5113.
'JACK' DONE: The NCAA has denied a bid to restore the eligibility of Clarence Jackson, meaning the linebacker won't be playing for the Gamecocks in the fall, athletics director Koegel confirmed.
Jackson was kicked out of school for an academic transgression in 2011, but returned in January 2013 and went through spring practice with new coach Bill Clark while the appeal process progressed. The ruling came down late last week, Koegel said.
"He's not going to be eligible to play, so we're trying to help Clarence out," Koegel said. "We did everything we could. It was an uphill battle because of the nature of what the problem was.
"Any time there's an academic situation like that, it's hard to get that changed."
The Gamecocks may have found answers for Jackson's spot, however, as former Auburn linebackers Chris Landrum and Harris Gaston announced last week they were transferring to JSU to play in the fall.
Meanwhile, Koegel said the Gamecocks were exploring all options to bring Jackson's situation to a beneficial end.
"We want him to graduate; he wants to graduate," Koegel said. "We're looking at other schools or staying here."
Jackson was given a second chance to play by former JSU coach Jack Crowe after being dismissed at Ole Miss and became a dynamic player . In seven games in 2011, he had 49 tackles – tied for second on the team – with four tackles for loss, one sack, an interception, a fumble recovery and a blocked kick.
In his first game with the Gamecocks, a 37-21 victory over Georgia State, he had a team-high seven tackles and returned a blocked punt 34 yards for a touchdown.
APR UPDATE: The NCAA is expected to release its academic progress report for all Division I institutions Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. Koegel declined to comment in advance – per an NCAA request – but JSU officials have consistently said they expect a positive report.
Speculation is all of the Gamecocks' teams will be out from under the APR cloud. The men's basketball team is finally expected to shake a 769 score that has dogged it the last four years and produced its post-season ban and other historical penalties last season.

Advice for Preparing for CPSM Exams
I just passed my final CPSM exam. Now that I am done I want to offer my advice to people who are preparing for the exams. Pardon the length of this post, but I wanted to include everything that I would have liked to have known before I got started with my studies.
In my opinion, you will need the diagnostic kit for all three exams, the professional series books, and the study guides. Some people may be able to get by without purchasing all three of these, but I felt that they were all completely necessary. I recommend the online versions of the diagnostic kits (not the print versions) since they are formatted the same as the real tests. Becoming familiar with the testing system will make you much more comfortable when you take your first test. When I began studying for the first exam there was a lot of material in which I was not proficient. For both the first and second exams I debated quite a bit about whether I should buy the online review courses or*self-study workbook for further study. I did not purchase them, and now I am glad that I didn't spend my money on them.*
An important thing to keep in mind is that the diagnostic tests are significantly easier than the real tests. Just because you pass a diagnostic test doesn't mean you're done studying. When I sat down to take the first real exam I panicked at first because I was certain that they had uploaded the wrong exam on my computer. For the first several questions none of the material was anything that I had ever seen before. My heart was racing and I was very stressed thinking there was no way I would pass the exam. When I clicked over to question six or seven finally there was something that I knew. I finished the rest of the exam not having any idea if I was going to pass or not. It was such a relief to click the end test button and find out that I had scored 450. At the time I thought that was a low score, but now I have found out that that is actually considered to be a pretty good score.
My first (and oddest) piece of advice related to test taking is don't drink much liquid before the test. It is a timed exam and you get one minute per question. Some of the questions are very long and may take you a couple of minutes to complete. If you need a bathroom break you will lose valuable time getting scanned in and out of the room and possibly having to wait for other people in line ahead of you. The clock does not stop. I used every minute on my first exam and had only a few minutes remaining for the other two. I had flagged several questions and used my remaining time to review them.
Second, I have problems keeping my eyes focused across a large 15 inch monitor when reading a paragraph several lines long. I asked ISM for permission to use my flexible whiteboard as a reading guide to help keep my eyes focused. I didn't do that for the first exam because I didn't know of the problem at that point, but it helped me so much in exams two and three. *It enabled me to focus and pay attention to every word without reading ahead (Im a bit of a speed reader, so I have that tendency). As you will see in the diagnostic tests sometimes the questions are scenarios that you have to put yourself into and one word in the question can make a huge difference to which answer is correct for you to choose. If you wish to use a whiteboard for this purpose you will need to get permission from ISM and have them contact your testing facility. Confirm with your testing facility before your exam a few days before your exam that they received the communication from ISM. On the morning of test day remind the test facility employees of that permission so they will know what you are doing. It's a hassle to do this but was well worth it for me.
Another test taking strategy I recommend is skipping the super long questions and doing them last. Sometimes you can answer five or six shorter questions in the time it may take you to do a long one, so if you feel that there is any chance that you won't be able to answer all of the questions skip a few long ones and then complete them at the end if you have time.*
I know each person has their own techniques for studying, but the following is what worked well for me. I did not, as recommended, take the diagnostic test first. I looked at the first one, realized that I wasnt familiar with a lot of the material and decided to do some reading first.
I read the professional books first because they were written in a detailed way that for the most part flowed well. The study guides contain critical but very succinct information. I found that reading the more detailed Pro books first were a much better learning tool for me. During my reading of the Pro books and study guides I highlighted anything that I was not familiar with, or thought there was a chance I might not remember.
Next, I took the diagnostic test just to get a feel for my weak areas. At that point I did not review my diagnostic test answers. I did not want to become overly familiar with the questions because I wanted to take the test again after further study a few weeks later. I used Post-it flags to tabulate my study guide and Mark each section 1A 1, 1A 2, etc. Then I wrote on the tabs the number of questions from the exam for each section versus the number I got correct on the diagnostic test. That helped me to see where my strengths and weaknesses were and help to focus my studying for rounds two and three.
My next step was to reread my highlights in both books. This time I double highlighted in a different color any material that I did not feel I had mastered. As I did this I also paper clipped together any sections that I felt confident in so that wouldnt ever waste any more time flipping through those pages.
I retook the diagnostic test and this time throughly reviewed every question and answer - even the ones I got correct. Then I continued my process of rereading highlights and paper clipping the mastered sections until the day of the test.
This is how my diagnostic test scores corresponded to my actual test scores:
Diagnostic Actual %correct
Exam 1 440 450 66%
Exam 2 480 460 64%
Exam 3 480 460 67%
I wish the best of luck to everyone in their future studies and testing.
Charity D.
One other thing I wanted to add...it seems crazy that these are passing scores, but you only need 400 to pass. I've always been a straight A student so I was disappointed in these scores until someone told me ISM considers anything 450 and up to be a high score. The tests are ridiculously hard, but if you learn the above mentioned materials you WILL pass.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Good job, Chartiy! Your scores are amazing! I just passed the test 1 yesterday, and still had the nightmare. My score was 420/600=88/150.
The first few questions almost knocked me out. They were so long, and so irrelevent to the study materials. I was like you, a straight A student for many years, never have had an exam unprepared. I was immediately out of breath at least 10 mins. I had to pull myself up to finish the test. I only finished 150/165 questions at the end (English is not my native lanuage, my reading is relatively slow).
Your study advice is absolutely useful! I just want to add mine to the folks who never take the exam.
First, ignore the questions which are so foreign to you(they may not be counted for the score), flag down the long questions, and go back to do them after you finish the rest.
Second, keep calm during the test. The test may unfairly post the hardest questions at beginning, don't let your confidence down.
Good luck to all folks who want to pass the test!
Thank you very much for this information! I actually approach my studies in the same general way, but after just receiving the study guides and diagnostic kit (I have the text books), I realize I need to be even more methodical in my exam prep.
I have also just started preparing for these exams. I am surprised by everyone's responses as to how difficult it is, I think the website has the pass rate at around 60%. I guess I am going to have to dedicate a lot of time to studying.
Charity, this is some great insight on the test I am preparing for. Thank you very much.
Thanks alot for your lengthy post Charity. I just started reading Book 1 Professional Series and was wondering if that was the way to go. I will continue with that and the Study Guide. Looks like I am in for some serious studying.
Hi, Where are you from?
Because English is not my native language too and I`m really worried about the tests. Can we do the tests by computer, right? Because I`m not in the U.S. Bye
Test #1 - Get the Professional Series
I just took and passed test #1. As mentioned, it was extremely difficult. The Professional series books are a tremendous help - the study guides pull out the main points. I believe it is necessary to use both. I just scheduled exams 2 and 3 about 6 weeks apart. If you read these materials - you WILL be able to pass! Good luck everyone!

Roselle >Lodging > Lynfred Winery Bed & Breakfast
15 S Roselle Rd, Roselle, IL | Directions 6017241.983179 -88.079368
Open daily 10 am to 7 pm
Closed Christmas and New Year's Day
Easily accessible from the Metra, Lynfred is a lovely spot to visit for an afternoon of wine tasting. They make a sparkling almond wine that's very festive, along with lots of great whites and reds.
My daughter and son-in-law had their 12-12-12 wedding here. Though we had multiple issues with communication between staff, organization, and an aloof, holier than thou, snobbish attitude, the issue that requires the most warning is that of attempted theft.
At the time of my daughter's wedding rehearsal, we were offered a B&B room for the wedding party to get ready in by a woman named Susan, complementary from Lynfred. This is where the worst of the trouble began. When my daughter walked in the day of her wedding with an hour to get ready, she quickly realized that Susan had not communicated this to the event planner, Lisa. Lisa stated loudly in front of the wedding party, the grooms family, the bride, and Lynfred patrons, "You didn't really think $150.00 covered that, did you?". My daughter was at a loss for words. We had initially planned for everyone to get ready at home until Susan had told us about the complimentary room, but now there was no time. When I arrived and was told about the problem, I spoke with a lady by the name of Kristin. In very short order, Kristin, who seemed our only advocate, apologized for any confusion and showed us to the American room my daughter had chosen. She rushed to get ready, with our photographer busily trying to take photographs in the process.
Approx 15 minutes before the wedding, general manager, Andres knocked on the door and asked to be let in to discuss a problem. I stepped outside with him instead. He then rudely stated that if I did not produce a VALID credit card for the $350.00 room fee, the wedding would not take place. I called my husband to handle the situation. He later told me that Andres had already attempted to charge our card, using the information from our February 2012 event payment. Since we had had an issue with identity theft in April, and had credit card and account numbers changed, he was not able to do this. In an effort to keep the peace, my husband paid him $50, but would not be strong-armed into paying $350.00 for a room we had been offered as complementary, and would only be spending 2 hours in.
Nice enough wine. Lovely buildling. Hideous experience with staffpeople. At best, they were nasty and rude on my daughter's wedding day. At worst, criminal.
Some of the nation's finest wines are produced in--surprise--suburban Roselle. – The Scene

text: Raw, amazing grooves sailing the Afro Beat Airways – organ flavored Afro funk, soul & psychedelia from West African Ghana & Togo in the 70s – one of best compilations yet on the increasingly awe inspiring Analog Africa label! The African percussion is raw and danceable and funk steeped, and most of the numbers have a range of really cool organ sounds, and vocals that range from insistently melodic singing to to funky shouts. From there, the groove is more varied. There's strains of tried & true Afro funk & soul, larger group jazzy jams and more stripped down cosmic and psych influenced nuggets. Exhaustive research on the part of Analog Africa is distilled into a riveting, yet nicely diverse and pretty much perfect compilation with great sound, beautiful packaging and a wealth of notes. 2LP version has 16 tracks in all (2 more than the CD): "Dankasa" by Uppers International, "Ma Mserew Me" by Apoagya Show Band, "Come Along" by Ebo Taylor & The Pelicans, 'Afe Ato Yen Bio" by De Frank Professionals, "Awula Bo Fee Ene" by Orchestre Abass, "Ne Noya" by Cos-Ber-Zam and more, plus the vinyl exclusives "Obiye Saa Wui" by 3rd Generation Band and "Operation Bye-Bye" by Orchestre Abass. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I need some help, I will be a first time mom, due Jan.30. I plan to breast feed so I need to know what bottle nipples are closest to breast nipple. Please help. Jessica
I had the same worries with my daughter when she was born, I found with her that the nipples on the playtex drop in bottles were the closest to a natural nipple and plus you get to throw the dirty bottle mess away when your babys done and trust me as a first time mom you will totally appreciate less dishes and things like that the nipples are dish washer safe and thay are the only part you have to clean except the ring that holds it in place! totally awesome!!!! hope I helped you a little bit.(you can also just go to walmart and look at the nipples they have for bottles and see which ones you think look most like a natural nipple but just because the package says its like a natural one doesent mean it is I totally dont recomend the parents choice brand they clog and will definentley confuse the baby if you blan to breastfeed.
I too breast feed & now incorporate some formula for feedings. The lactation nurse recommended the PLAYTEX VENT AIR "WIDE" nipples (slow flow for the first few months, we're at 6 months & its still good for baby.) They have been WONDERFUL! I have tried a few other brands too, however, the vent air brand also helps a TON in REDUCING gassiness when the baby eats (helping me stay more relaxed & able to get more rest!) Hands down a great investment!
You could try the Adiri nurser. It's shaped like a breast. My advice to you is to introduce the bottle after bf'ing has been well established, but not too late. They say about 4-6 weeks. I waited too long and my son would not take a bottle or paci for anything!! Good luck.
We use the dr pround WIDE NECK... they are fat and are close to feeling like a nipple for the baby Its bout the only bottle dd likes.
It will likely be trial and error to find something that your baby
likes. We just bought one each of a few different types of
bottle/nipple combinations (rather than buying a whole bunch of one
What's as important (or more important) is the WAY you feed the
baby from the bottle. Try googling "paced feeding" or "bottlefeeding a
breastfed baby." You may find some helpful information that way.
Good luck, momma.

The night before: Nirvana reunion with Paul McCartney at 121212 'Sandy' concert (video)
DON EMMERT/AFP/Getty Images
Paul McCartney performs on stage during '12-12-12 ~ The Concert For Sandy Relief' December 12, 2012 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Nirvana reunited with guest fronter Paul McCartney on Wednesday during 121212: The Concert for Sandy Relief at Madison Square Garden.
The surprise singalong was to a tune called "Cut Me Some Slack" that McCartney explained like this to the crowd:
"Recently some guys asked me to go jam with them. So I showed up like you do, you know, ready to jam. And in the middle of it, these guys kept going, 'We haven't played together for years.' So, you know, the penny finally dropped — I finally understood I was in the middle of a Nirvana reunion."
Since one man's "driving rock" is another man's "fresh hell," here are a few reactions to the musical melange.
How would you describe the performance? Leave a comment below.
So last night the unthinkable happened: Paulvana, Nirmacca, Nicartney — whatever they're calling themselves (Abomination is taken) — performed at the 12-12-12 Concert For Sandy Relief at Madison Square Garden. It should go without saying that my criticism/cynicism here is strictly musical and cultural: Whatever fresh hell occurred last night was very much in the service of a worthy cause and you should by all means donate. But musically and culturally? Man, I thought it was pretty banal at best, and gross at worst.

Alan Rickman To Star In CBGB Founder Biopic
May 15th, 2012 11:30am EDT
Alan Rickman will always be Professor Severus Snape to us, but he's about to take on the guise of another, more modern legend. You might not have heard of Hilly Kristal, but surely you have heard of the club he started and owned until it closed in 2006, CBGB.
The legendary East Village institution kick started punk rock and became a second home to local artists like Patti Smith, Television, Suicide, the Ramones, and Blondie; later years gave rise to hardcore acts like Bad Brains and, yes, the Beastie Boys. Kristal had plans to take his club to Vegas but died in 2007.
Rickman's casting news comes hot on the heels of an announcement that the new owners of CBGB are kicking off a summer music festival and are even looking for a new location. Lisa Kristal Burgman, Hilly Kristal's daughter and controller of his estate, has given her blessing to both the music festival and the movie.
She's co-producing the film, which will be directed by Randall Miller; Miller and co-writer Jody Savin worked with Rickman on "Bottle Shock," a movie about the cutthroat world of wine making.
The movie, which was first announced last May, will take place during some of the most punk rock years of the club, 1974 to 1976. Burgman's participation means that the filmmakers have an in with the famous musicians who once graced the doorstep of 315 Bowery, so the team has been able to interview them for juicy details about that rockin' time.
The producers also hope that Krystal's close relationship with the musicians who performed at CBGB will make it easier to get rights to some of the music.

Map and directions to Titchfield Haven
From Junction 9 of the M27, take the third exit for Fareham/Titchfield (A27). At the next roundabout, with the Holiday Inn on your left, carry straight on. Soon you will see signs for Stubbington/Lee-on-the-Solent (B3334), move to the right hand lane to follow these. At roundabouts in Stubbington, carry straight on. Just after the next pedestrian crossing, turn right into Bells Lane, it is signed to Hill Head with a brown tourism sign to Titchfield Haven NNR. Follow this road, (it leads into Crofton Lane, then Hill Head Road) past the Osborne View Pub on your left. Once close to the Solent (now in Cliff Road), look for the car park on the left, adjacent to Hill Head Sailing Club. Park here - walk left and then cross the road.
There are bus stops in Solent Road (a little more than ¼ mile from the Visitor Centre), and Titchfield Square (the walk is about 2½ miles long mostly on a footpath, but beware it is liable to flooding in winter).
The nearest railway stations for the area are at Fareham and Swanwick.
If you are flying in to see a rarity, then Southampton Airport is about 30 minutes drive from Titchfield Haven.
On foot
We have a useful leaflet available at the Visitor Centre, price 30p, showing footpaths and bridleways from the River Hamble through Warsash, Hook, and Chilling Coastal area to Titchfield Haven.

TELLURIDE – What is the appeal of the Imogene Pass Run? The course is located on terrain where a blast of capricious weather could cause hypothermia, and a twisted ankle could mean a full-blown rescue. The course is longer than a half-marathon and, with more than 5,000 feet of vertical climb, a major ascent. Sure, the scenery is spectacular, but with a route that climbs to an elevation of 13,114 feet, most participants won't fully appreciate the views, since they'll likely be too busy trying to catch their breath.
Yet despite the grueling nature of this run, registration inevitably fills to capacity. Over 1,200 participants are registered to tackle the IPR beast when the 35th Annual Imogene Pass Run takes to the high country this Saturday.
Race Director John Jett reports that this year's event sold out just four days after registration opened – with close to 400 (nearly one-third of the total allowed participants) registering in the first hours, and a total of 1,000 registered by the end of the first day.
"If you're a trail runner, this race has the legacy of being one that you just have to do at some time in your life," says Jett.
The long, steep and exposed Imogene Pass is, undoubtedly, one of the most challenging courses that exist on the trail running circuit. Runners must be prepared to face strong winds, rain, lightning, even snow.
Jett calls the IPR a "benchmark" for other high altitude trail runs. The race started in 1974 when Camp Bird Mine worker and Ouray resident Rick Trujillo and friends raced from Ouray to Telluride over the Imogene Pass jeep road. Today, the IPR is more than just a locals' challenge (although 100 runners registered this year hail from the region). Runners come from 34 states and abroad, and the race boasts an overall runner return rate of over 50 percent, some having endured the race more than 10 times.
Jett reports that this year, for the first time, the course will be closed to vehicular traffic. Increased traffic over the pass in recent years prompted the IPR Board of Directors to get permission from the San Miguel and Ouray county commissioners to close the road on race day, a safety precaution for the racers and volunteers navigating the steep switchbacks of the 17.1-mile road.
"It's become a point of contention in past years," Jett says of the face-off between runners and vehicles on Imogene Pass on race day. "The OHV users' world has gotten smaller in the last decade, while our numbers have gotten larger, which has led to some conflicts in the past."
The closure will be in effect from 7 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. for the Telluride side of the pass and from 7 a.m. until noon for the Ouray side.
Runners will depart Ouray at 7:30 a.m., completing the trip when they reach the finish line in Telluride at the intersection of North Oak and Columbia streets. The finish line will be open until 2:30 p.m., with an awards presentation in Elks Park scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
Jett says that he's anticipating more record-breaking times this year; six records were broken at last year's event. He reports that the 15- to 19-year-old age group boasts strong numbers in 2008, which bodes well not only for the future of the race, but for the sport of trail running in general. "It's promising for the future of the sport," he says. "I'm hoping one of these young men or women is going to be able to topple the record in that age group this year."
Support for the more than 1,200 runners falls on the shoulders of an army of volunteers. With six aid stations along the course and the start, finish and registration crews, over 200 volunteers are needed each year. Jett reports that more volunteers are still needed for the Telluride finish line; visit the IPR website at www.imogenerun.com or call Jett at 728-0251 for more information or to volunteer.
The Imogene Pass Run thanks Alpine Bank for their continued support of the race. Their sponsorship helps the IPR generously donate to high school running programs of Telluride and Ouray as well as many other local charities that provide support for the race. Support organizations include Search and Rescue of San Miguel and Ouray County, Montrose Amateur Radio Club, Telluride Ski and Snowboard Club, Sheridan Opera House, Baked in Telluride, Telluride Parks and Recreation, and the Twin Peaks Motel in Ouray.

Trisomy 18 is a genetic disorder in which a person has a third copy of material from chromosome
18, instead of the usual two copies.
Edwards syndrome
Trisomy 18 is a somewhat common syndrome. It is three times more common in girls than boys.
The syndrome occurs when there is extra material from chromosome 18. The extra material affects normal development.
An exam during pregnancy may show an unusually large uterus and extra amniotic fluid
. There may be an unusually small placenta when the baby is born.
A physical exam of the infant may show unusual fingerprint patterns. X-rays may show a short breast bone. Chromosome studies
will show trisomy 18, partial trisomy, or translocation
Other signs include:
There are often signs of congenital heart disease
, such as:
Tests may also show kidney problems, including:
Treatment of children with trisomy 18 is planned on a case-by-case basis. Which treatments are used depend on the patient's individual condition.
Half of infants with this condition do not survive beyond the first week of life. Some children have survived to the teenage years, but with serious medical and developmental problems.
Complications depend on the specific defects and symptoms.
Genetic counseling can help families understand the condition, the risks of inheriting it, and how to care for the patient.
Tests can be done during pregnancy to find out if the child has this syndrome.
Genetic testing is recommended for parents who have a child with this syndrome and who want to have more children.

Basic Cooking Guidlines:
- The first thing you need to know is that you don't need to know what you are doing. You don't even need other people to think you know what you are doing. The only important thing is having an idea what is possible to accomplish given your available ingredients and resources.
- Don't kill your vegetables. Just because they aren't still on the plant doesn't mean they don't still have some life in them; and there is nothing worse than eating dead food.
- To reduce panic, prepare as much as you can before turning on a single burner. That means you should chop everything up first, and then heat the pan. The only time this is not the case is when you need boiled water, i.e. for hard pasta or dried soaked beans, in which case you can boil the water (and cook the beans) while you are chopping up your vegetables and garlic/onions/etc.

WAYNE Bennett faces the greatest challenge of his illustrious coaching career in trying to salvage Newcastle's NRL season before it is officially declared a write-off.
Saturday's dismal 32-16 loss to Canberra at Hunter Stadium left the Knights 14th on the ladder after winning just four of their first 13 games.
They have now lost five successive fixtures by a combined tally of 162-72, and if Penrith beat the Warriors tonight, the pre-season premiership favourites will sit above only hapless Parramatta on the points table.
To reach the play-offs, which are now a distant speck on the horizon, Newcastle will probably need to win eight of their remaining 11 regular-season games.
If they continue to play like they did against Canberra, they will be lucky to win again this year.
With all due respect, the Raiders are far from the most coveted scalp in the competition.
They arrived at Turton Road two positions below Newcastle after losing five of their previous six games and with speculation mounting that coach David Furner was facing the axe.
They had not won in Newcastle since 2005.
Yet from the opening exchanges they dominated, racking up a 14-0 lead that the home side were never likely to overhaul.
In a season that is increasingly starting to resemble a train wreck, this was surely Newcastle's lowest ebb.
It was not just their worst loss this year.
In the circumstances, it must rank as one of the most depressing efforts since the club was founded in 1988.
Sadly for the 15,114 spectators, many of whom appeared torn between hanging around to boo the players off the field or heading home early, there can be no guarantees it is rock bottom, or even close.
As Bennett noted afterwards: ''I don't know whether we're going backwards or forwards right now.
''We're not going anywhere, to be honest with you.''
Bennett might be rugby league's most successful coach, with seven premierships to his name, but he has surely never encountered a conundrum such as this.
At both Brisbane and St George Illawarra, where he was surrounded by superstars, success became his trademark.
Naturally when he joined the Knights, their fans had similarly grandiose expectations.
It was not a question of whether Bennett could steer Newcastle to a premiership, it was a matter of how many he would win during his four-year tenure.
But with each passing week, it is becoming increasingly obvious that dynasties are not built in a day.
And now the question the Novocastrian faithful are screaming is, what has gone wrong?
Why aren't this team playing for Bennett? Last year they busted their guts for Rick Stone.
It appears not even Bennett has an answer, although my theory is that there is a glaring lack of synergy between coach and players.
When Bennett first signed with Newcastle, the players were excited. Why wouldn't they be?
Everybody wants to win a grand final. Nobody knows better than Bennett how do get there.
Yet after the great man's first day at training, he told the media: ''Realistically, a premiership may not be forthcoming in the near future.''
Bennett was clearly trying to keep a lid on the hype. He has never been one to talk himself or his team up.
Perhaps he figured that was pressure his players could do without.
Since then Bennett has delivered a consistent message at his press conferences.
His team are a work in progress. He is not interested in running eighth or ninth.
Meanwhile, experienced players have been dropped to reserve grade, recalled, and then dropped again.
Willie Mason and Dane Gagai were added to Bennett's roster, apparently out of desperation.
Reading between the lines, Bennett simply does not rate some of his players.
And they know it.
Finally we arrive at last week's unsettling revelations in the Herald that the Knights are trying to offload Junior Sa'u and Wes Naiqama – and possibly others – despite having binding contracts for next season.
Sa'u and Naiqama, who last year signed extensions for two and three years respectively with Bennett's approval, are entitled to be filthy, as are their teammates. Given that the stench of last year's cleanout still lingers, some are now asking whether a contract at Newcastle is worth the paper on which it is written.
And if Bennett needs any advice on how Knights players respond to turmoil and contractual uncertainty, perhaps he could ask his old mate Brian Smith to recollect the events of 2007.
As one source told me last week, when discussing the Naiqama-Sa'u situation: ''Wayne's changed his mind about a few of them.''
It appears the feeling could well be mutual.
