Stamford Accident Sends 2 to Hospital
STAMFORD, Vt. — Two North Adams, Mass., residents were injured after their car slammed into a tree on Main Road on Sunday morning.
Joelle M. Peterson, 34, and her passenger, Zachariah Chaffy, 36, were northbound on Route 8/100 in a 1999 Subaru Legacy before noon when Peterson lost control of the vehicle.
"The vehicle hit an icy patch of snow that had accumulated on the roadway. The operator was unable to maintain control of the vehicle and left the roadway before striking a tree," according to the report by State Trooper Alex Saxby.
The weather was clear but Saxby reported blowing snow across the highway.
The Subaru veered across the southbound lane, hitting the tree on the lawn of 289 Main Road. The accident occurred on the slight curve just south of Billmont's Country Store.
Both of the car's occupants were wearing seat belts. Peterson suffered minor abrasions and Chaffy, a broken hip. Both were taken to Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, Mass. The Subaru was considered totalled.
Adams Man Facing Charges in Stamford Crash
STAMFORD, Vt. — An Adams, Mass., man is facing charges after crashing his car early Saturday morning.
State police say Dorian Bigelow, 19, lost control of his 2007 Hyundai Tiburon at about 3 a.m. and left the road, smashing into a group of trees.
There was wet snow on the road but Trooper Thomas Stange said "alcohol appeared to be a contributing factor in the crash."
The crash occurred near 1111 East Road.
The vehicle incurred heavy front end damage. Bigelow was taken to the emergency facility in North Adams, Mass., for minor injuries related to the airbag's deployment.
Criminal charges are pending the results of the investigation.
Delivery Truck Shears Off Pole in Stamford
STAMFORD, Vt. — A delivery truck driver was taken to Berkshire Medical Center's satellite emergency facility in North Adams, Mass., on Tuesday after shearing off a utility pole.
State police said Darrell Thomas, 43, of Albany, N.Y., was southbound on Route 100 at about 12:30 p.m. when he left the highway just south of Collins Road.
Investigation into the crash determined that Thomas' uniform delivery truck lost traction on the snow-covered roadway and exited the west side of the road. The truck flipped onto its right side and slid nose first into the pole, cutting it in two and causing the cab and cargo area to rip open.
Thomas had been wearing his seat belt, which saved him from serious injury. However, he complained of neck and back pain and was taken to the emergency room.
The truck, a 2009 Freightliner, incurred extensive damage to the cab and cargo areas and had to be towed from the scene. Stamford firefighters provided traffic control; the highway was closed briefly while the truck was removed.
Stamford Crash Cuts Power
STAMFORD, Vt. — A single-vehicle crash on Main Road on Thursday morning sent a local woman to the hospital and cut power to a section of town for more than two hours.
State police said Maria Theresa Denault, 20, of Stamford was northbound on Route 100 when she lost control of her 2005 Dodge Durango just before 9 a.m. and collided with a utility pole at 4651 Main Road.
Deneault was going about 45 mph when the sport utility vehicle lost traction in the slush and ice and slid across the road, and broke the pole at the base, according to the report by State Trooper Paul F. Sokolowski Jr. of the Shaftsbury barracks.
A messy mix of snow, sleet and rain had fallen over the region since late Wednesday evening.
Denault, who was not wearing a seat belt, was taken to North Adams (Mass.) Regional Hospital with minor injuries; the vehicle sustained extensive damage and was towed from the scene.
Green Mountain Power reported about 560 customers without power in Stamford and Readsboro. The utility replaced the pole; Fair Point Communications also responded.
The Stamford Fire Department responded to the scene and assisted with traffic control.
Stamford Crash Totals Two Family Vehicles
|Ten people were involved in the two-car crash on Main Road. All were wearing seat belts and only one incurred minor injuries. Both vehicles were totaled.
STAMFORD, Vt. — A Rowe family was involved in a two-car accident on Sunday afternoon when a car driven by the husband was rear-ended by the car driven by the wife.
State Police responded to the accident at about 1 p.m. on Main Road, north of the town center.
According to Trooper Lauren Ronan, both vehicles involved were owned by Clifford Paige, 39 of Rowe. One of the vehicles, a red 1994 Honda Civic coupe was being operated by Paige; the other vehicle involved, a gray 2005 Ford Focus, was being operated by his wife, Mary Paige.
There were four of their children in each vehicle and the conditions were cloudy with drizzle and wet pavement.
The crash occurred when Clifford Paige slammed on his brakes while arguing with his son, said Ronan. Mary Paige was driving behind her husband and was unable to stop her vehicle. She collided into the rear end of the Civic, causing extensive damage to the front end of her vehicle. The collision pushed the Civic into the guard rail, causing extensive damage.
All of the occupants were wearing their seat belts, however, one child was transported to North Adams (Mass.) Regional hospital for a small abrasion and release shortly afterward.
Both vehicles are believed to be totaled. Paige was issued a ticket for stopping on the roadway.
Stamford Fire Department, North Adams Ambulance Service and a Bennington County deputy sheriff also responded to the scene.

Public services – from HM Revenue & Customs to the Driving Standards Authority to libraries - are being transformed by e-commerce, asserts a new report from ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
The report - How e-business transforms public sector services in the UK - highlights the positives of going digital for organisations such as the NHS, HMRC and local councils, with significant advantages including cost savings, increased accountability and transparency, as well as improving the interaction between the public sector, its service users and citizens.
But at a time when the public sector is being asked to think digital first, the report also warns that public services have a responsibility to ensure that their approach to e-business does not increase inequality for some of the most vulnerable people in society.
Thirty-one public sector workers were asked about their attitudes to e-business. While all recognised the benefits, some were concerned that the full adoption of e-business practices would detract from the true value of the services they provide, especially as many are proud of the face-to-face, specialist, customised advice they can offer.
Helen Ripley, Business Development Manager – Public Sector at ACCA, says: 'As the government's 'digital by default' policy accelerates, clearly there is a balancing act for UK central government departments, especially when it comes to data protection and the up-skilling and training of staff.'
The report concludes that public service organisations must work hard to manage change well, to be prepared to make significant cultural shifts and persuade more reluctant workers to support the move to e-business practices.
Helen Ripley concludes: 'The adoption of e-business methods has brought, and will continue to bring, efficiencies and financial savings – for instance HMRC has calculated the cost of processing a self-assessment tax return to be around £12 for a paper return and less than £1 for an online return. There are also social benefits, through greater and easier user engagement and the provision of quicker and more effective information to service users.
'Savings can only be of benefit to the taxpayer. But there is a last word of warning – efficiency can also drive up expectations, with the knock-on effect of raising public expectations. Keeping up with e-business will be important in years to come.'
The report includes three case studies on HMRC, the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) and the UK Library Service, all examining how e-business practices have transformed how they operate.

You neglect to mention that he was swapped with Franzen. The latter is the team's best goal-scoring forward, and he's a big body. Cleary is not as good as Franzen. Nobody is disputing this. Swapping a better player out for a player who is not as good will make a line perform with lesser efficiency. Case closed.
Actually no, Cleary just makes whichever line he's on worse. If you're watching the games I'm not sure how you could dispute it.

Yazoo/Associated Press
Yazoo/Associated Press
While everyone was buzzing about big releases from Frank Ocean, Fiona Apple, Mumford & Sons and Taylor Swift, you might have missed some must-listens. Here�s what you should know about, and why
Grizzly Bear, �Shields� (Warp)
Yes, iTunes named Grizzly Bear�s �Shields� the best album of 2012. Yes, the critics adored it. And yes, it debuted in the Top 10.
But did it earn any Grammy nominations? No. Is it selling well? No. Have you heard it? Probably not.
And that needs to change.
�Shields� is a semimasterpiece that feels both old and new � and in the best ways possible. Anchored by the voices of Edward Droste and Daniel Rossen, this Brooklyn, N.Y.-based foursome has created a disc that is genre-defying and consistent throughout.
The 10 tracks that make up �Shields� are drum-filled and smoky, and half the songs are more than five minutes long. That�s a bit unusual, but it�s also a break from mainstream pop music, and a needed one.
�Mesfin Fekadu, AP Music Writer (twitter.com/musicmesfin)
Aaron Freeman, �Marvelous Clouds� (Partisan Records)
Middle age and sobriety caused Aaron Freeman to split this year from Ween, the deliriously genre-defying cult duo he co-founded 25 years ago. To find his footing as a solo artist, the former Gene Ween�s first tentative step was to release �Marvelous Clouds,� a covers album featuring 13 songs by Rod McKuen, the 1960s poet and composer.
McKuen�s a crooner often dismissed as schlocky, but Freeman finds the earnest heart � and crushing heartbreak � in gentle ballads like �A Man Alone,� which could be the record�s theme song. The production on �Jean� and the title track are by turns lush and spare. Every track is suffused with a melancholy that draws comparisons to some of the best of Ween�s softer material, including the aching �Birthday Boy� and �I Don�t Want It.�
Ween devotees felt betrayed when Freeman broke up the band, and they were confused that such an accomplished songwriter opted to record someone else�s tunes. But �Marvelous Clouds� rewards multiple listens, and provides plenty of hints that Freeman will continue to surprise.
�Christopher Weber, AP Writer
I/O, �Isolation� (Self-released)
Oh, progressive R&B, how I enjoy your sound.
That trend in music � a movement that includes Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Miguel and Dawn Richard � will continue to blow up in 2013, and New York-based singer-songwriter-producer I/O should be among those to look out for.
His second mixtape, �Isolation,� is an impeccable adventure of R&B and eerie sounds that heal your ears.
He�s singing about heartache and heartbreak on this 12-track staple, but he doesn�t come off as annoying. The epic �I�d Be Lying� is the best example, where I/O is motivated and looking for more in life. �Piece of Mind� is nicely jelled with electronic sounds, and his soft voice shines on �Strangers� and �We�ll Always Be,� with its addictive hook full of hand claps.
I/O, whose real name is Ayo Olatunji, is a newcomer on the rise. We�re onboard.
�Mesfin Fekadu, AP Music Writer (twitter.com/musicmesfin)
Various Artists, �The Return of the Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of� (Yazoo Records)
Too often we reflexively think that music is born when it is recorded, that it simply comes into existence fully formed. But every riff, every melody, every harmony has its own rich history. When it comes to the American songbook, taking rides through the deeper parts of that history can be as thrilling and immediate as seeing a live concert.
This is the wonderful calculus of �The Return of the Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of,� a two-disc set with great documentation that travels back to the 1920s and unearths some of the earliest recordings of homegrown American music. Here�s the Fruit Jar Guzzlers (best band name ever?) doing a prehistoric version of the �Stack-O-Lee� ballad. Here�s blues legend Charley Patton going deep into the Delta. Here�s a fiddler named Elder Golden P. Harris sounding like something coming through the open windows of a 19th-century Southern church as he twangs out �I�ll Lead a Christian Life.�
Other traditions are represented, too: Two Eastern European tracks are welcome additions to the mix, jarring in the most evocative way amid all the country and blues. A great American musical lesson that puts the best of emerging legends alongside the long-forgotten � just as record collectors might dream of.
�Ted Anthony, AP National Writer (twitter.com/anthonyted)
Ty Segall, �Twins� (Drag City)
Ty Segall may have been the busiest man in music this year, releasing three albums under different band alignments while producing and contributing to several more.
His solo record, �Twins,� is the best of the lot and shows why everyone is so excited about the 25-year-old garage rocker from San Francisco. He plays most of the instruments here on 12 tracks full of fuzzy goodness.
Segall sets the mood with album opener, �Thank God for Sinners,� an anthemic fist to the face that shows you right where his heart is. Other highlights include the shambolic �Ghost,� the relentless �They Told Me Too� and �Love Fuzz,� which has a self-explanatory title.
�Chris Talbott, AP Music Writer (twitter.com/chris�talbott)
Anat Cohen, �Claroscuro� (Anzic)
Israeli-born Anat Cohen is doing her utmost to ensure that the clarinet no longer remains an overlooked instrument in modern jazz. On �Claroscuro,� Cohen offers a variety of tonal shades ranging from light buoyant tunes to dark intense multilayered pieces as she takes her listeners on a multicultural journey with stops in West Africa, New Orleans, Brazil and her present home, New York.
Cohen engages in intricate dialogues with another jazz clarinet virtuoso, Cuban-born Paquito D�Rivera, on four of the 11 tracks � ranging from the twisting, minor key �Nightmare,� Swing Era clarinetist Artie Shaw�s haunting theme, to the playful, danceable �Um A Zero� by the Brazilian choro master Pixinguinha. On �La Vie En Rose,� Cohen pays homage to Louis Armstrong�s New Orleans take on the Edith Piaf chanson, slowing the tempo and contrasting her smooth clarinet lines with Wycliffe Gordon�s growling trombone and gravelly vocals.
�Charles J. Gans, AP Writer (twitter.com/chjgans)
THEESatisfaction, �awE naturalE� (Sub Pop)
For some reason, year-end lists often carry a taint with them, but around here, we love them because of all the leads they give you on new music. THEESatisfaction came to our attention after its appearance on one list or another, and we�re excited to discover �awE naturalE.�
Rapper Stasia Irons and singer Catherine Harris-White�s thoroughly modern mash-up of hip-hop and soul is intoxicating � they call their songs �funk-psychedelic feminista sci-fi epics� � and the music weaves back and forth between fierce and fearless.
The folks at Sub Pop, who had a stellar 2012, discovered Irons and Harris-White after hearing a Shabazz Palaces song they contributed to. Already a veteran of several mixtapes, the self-produced �awE naturalE� is ridiculously self-assured and constantly interesting.
Looking for a little ear candy? Check out �QueenS,� which serves as something of a theme song, the jazzy �Existinct� and the fractured jam of �naturalE.�
�Chris Talbott, AP Music Writer (twitter.com/chris�talbott)
Kitty Pryde, �Haha, I�m Sorry� (Self-released)
In between retail store shifts in Daytona Beach, Fla., and navel-gazing about drunken boys, Kitty Pryde found something valuable in 2012. She delivers dream-pop rap that resonates with a restless sliver of hip-hop fans craving something smarter to savor.
Pryde�s EP, �Haha, I�m Sorry,� was welcomed by the few that noticed its free-via-Bandcamp release.
The complex, exploratory beats by producer Beautiful Lou are crucial to the polish of the five-track effort by Pryde, whose youthful banality oozes out of each savvy curse-free verse. Pryde�s easy flow on �Ay Shawty� has nothing to do with the hip-hop you hear on the radio and everything to do with a snapshot of hip-hop fandom, growing in numbers, who seek something beyond the guns-and-drugs drill that often dominates the genre.
This is real downtime talk, not saddled with rough urban fantasies.
�Ron Harris, AP Writer (twitter.com/journorati)
Ana Tijoux, �La Bala� (Nacional Records)
Sometimes the most powerful sound is not a shout, but a whisper.
Chilean-French rapper Ana Tijoux proves the power of that phrase. This year she brought new life to hip-hop en espanol with her rich, intelligent and original album �La Bala.�
Tijoux captures attention with a complex delivery that is both soft and harsh, warm in tone, yet chilling. Her lyrics reflect the politics that have shaped her world: She grew up exiled in France, where her family fled to escape the Pinochet regime.
Musically, �La Bala� is a gorgeous, potent and smoothly produced mix of bass, orchestration, rock and soul � with delicious use of G-funk styling. The rhythms are unexpected and enticing.
On the title track, Tijoux details the shooting of a man, rapping over a militaristic march: �That body without life was her son, stunned Maria falls to the floor, her deformed face turned into a cry that leaves only a hum meaning � assassin.�

12 Things to Watch in Sunday's Colts-Browns Game
With this guy at quarterback, I almost want to root for the Browns.
Last week, the Colts' chance to establish themselves as a playoff contender went by the boards in an epic beat down. Now, one of their best hopes for a win all season sloughs its way into Lucas Oil Stadium. Here's what to watch for.
1. Watch for the turnovers. Perhaps the most distressing part of the 2012 season has been the defense's utter inability to force turnovers. Brown's quarterback Brandon Weeden is an interception machine, but to this point the Colts don't look to have the playmakers necessary to force the ball loose. In all the defense has been worse than anyone could imagine, and in almost every conceivable metric, has gone backwards from 2011. If the Colts can't get turnovers from Weeden, they can't get turnovers.
2. Watch for Joe Hayden on Reggie Wayne. Hayden is one of the goodish corners that people are waiting to turn into a great corner. If he can take Wayne away, the Colts are left with no offense at all. This is a big test for him and a chance to establish himself firmly in the upper eschalon of corners. If Wayne can take advantage of him, the Colts will win big. Hayden says he doesn't want to follow Reggie Wayne around the field, so Wayne could wind up in the slot all game. Again, it would be a huge plus for Indy.
3. Watch for the continued development of the tight ends. Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen didn't have huge high-volume games against the Jets, but there was something about how they were both used that seemed to make more sense. One of the criticisms of Bruce Arians has been the lack of short routes, and safety valves for Andrew Luck. It seemed like last week, he gave the tight ends more useable routes. More of that would be good.
4. Watch for a reshuffling. Word on the street is that a certain angry Caucasian linebacker will be in his first game of the season this week, and he's ready to hit someone. The problem comes in figuring out where and when to play him. Inside linebackers Jerrell Freeman and Kavell Conner have played reasonably well this season, should one of the two be benched for a promising young linebacker like Angerer? Freeman plays a role similar to what Angerer's figures to be and likely will be the one who's snaps get reduced.
5. Watch for big plays. The Browns safeties both excel in run defense, so don't expect Vick Ballard to have more success this week in turning runs into big gains. However, both have been inconsistent against the pass, and the Browns defense generally has struggled to contain third and fourth receivers, coming in at 25th in DVOA against those players. T.Y. Hilton has been relatively invisible since his 113-yard day against Jacksonville, but could have another big day on Sunday.
6. Watch for geritol. The Browns have gone all in with their 54-year old rookie quarterback. Weeden is so old that Wilford Brimley turned him down for a spot in the Cocoon. Weeden is so old he gets a joke about Cocoon. Weeden is so old he knows who Wilford Brimley is. Weeden is so old…just keep reading, this could go on for a while…when he played high school ball, they called the huddle ye olde pre-scrum parlay. Weeden is so old that he's bad at football. Weeden is so old…
7. Watch for tired legs. The Browns not only drafted a quarterback old enough to be Chris Weinke's father, they drafted Trent Richardson. Running backs drafted in the first round aren't such a great value given their tendency to wear out quickly. I guess they though Trent needed a Big Brother. Regardless within five years they'll have a quarterback that's over the hill and a running back whose legs are dead. Word is that he'll do "whatever it takes" to play on Sunday which will just keep that odometer rolling.
8. Watch for the generational rivalry. Andrew Luck and Old Man Weeden met in the Fiesta Bowl in January. Luck lost 41-38 in overtime while Weeden and teammate Justin Blackmon (now Jaguar) hooked up three times for touchdowns. After the game Weeden mussed Luck's hair and bought him a malt at the soda shop.
9. Watch for home, sweet home. The Colts young team has performed far better at home this year than they have on the road. That's not a surprise with a young, rebuilding team, but it sure hasn't hurt that the Colts opponents at home have been the Jaguars, Vikings, and flailing Green Bay Backers, versus the upstart Bears and inconsistent Jets. The home record will be helped again by playing Cleveland at home this week, and I'm expecting to see Andrew Luck's passer rating look more like his home 85.4 rather than his road rating of 52.1.
10. Watch for invaders. The game is sold out, but there will no doubt be a lot of Cleveland fans there. Browns fans travel well, and many have relocated to Indiana to escape the crushing crapulence that is Cleveland. Moving foreward, I worry this could be the last sell out of the season if the team plays poorly the next two weeks. As long as Indy gets a win today, the Colts can probably count on another against Miami, but as the season goes along, it will get harder and harder to sell those last 1,000 tickets as the wins taper off.
11. Watch for Mike Holmgren chuckling. Is it just me or did Holmgren get the best end of the deal in the recent Browns sale? While Holmgren is not the level of genius some portray him to be something tells me he's quite happy slipping out of Cleveland while the getting is good. Without question he'll be in demand for teams with lots of money and little sense. I can already here him telling Jerry Jones, "Did I tell you about the time I managed to convince a team that Hume Cronyn would be a great starting quarterback? Boy was that a hoot!"
12. Watch for another week of "Luck is great" stories. When the Colts win, all the focus is on how good Luck is. When they lose, the focus is on how weak his traditional numbers are. This week, they get the win. Colts 23 Browns 19.

Tarck is the culture behind taking fixed gear bicycles designed for riding in the velodrome and riding them on the street. This subculture has a strong focus on color-coordination and fixed-gear specific tricks such as skidding or doing a whirly-bird.

Can you define these popular missing words?
Tarck is a track bike ridden on the street, usually with no brakes. It has to have track geometry and track drop bars. It usually has very agressive geometry. Tarck is quite different than a "fixie" in that a "fixie" usually is ridden with a brake or has riser bars.
See that fucker flying down Main St on his tarck bike? He's passing all of the roadies.

Cucumber Tuna Boats RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 3 2
For a refreshing summer meal, you can't beat this creamy tuna salad mounded into cucumber halves. Hard-cooked eggs make the salad extra hearty, and the crispness of the cucumber is delightful. It's an extra-special luncheon entree or light supper. -Mildred Stubbs, Hamlet, North Carolina
- 3 medium cucumbers
- 1 can (6 ounces) tuna, drained and flaked
- 2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup Miracle Whip
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Cut cucumbers in half lengthwise; remove and discard seeds. Cut a thin slice from bottom of cucumber if necessary so they sit flat. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Spoon into the cucumbers. Serve immediately. Yield: 3 servings.

"Fantastic! I happened to have some fresh pineapple, so later in the evening, I had a bit of the tuna salad with the pineapple mixed in, and it was divine! Best tuna salad I've ever had."
Reviewed Mar. 11, 2009
"This is a wonderful tuna salad! For my kids, I place cucumber slices on bread with the tuna to make a sandwhich. They make wonderful tea sandwhiches. I prefer dill pickles with tuna so I will just chop up a pickle or two instead of the relish. For myself, I prefer to put some of the tuna on a plate as is and put some cut up cucumber over the top. Thank you for sharing!"
Reviewed Mar. 2, 2009
"Made these the other day and my wife loved them. Just be sure to not load the cucumbers until ready to serve, they get mushy otherwise. Good recipe!"

Whether you're learning to run, trying to lower your Personal Record, recovering from injury, or just getting in shape, The New Rules of Running will make you a faster, healthier runner. The only book on running authored by a sports medicine specialist, this informative guide offers:
- A primer on running's most common injuries, emphasizing prevention and recovery, to get you through the grueling training months unscathed.
- Essential strengthening exercises, stretches, nutrition, and hydration tips.
—Mary Wittenberg, president and CEO of New York Road Runners
"The New Rules of Running is chock-full of great information, and will not only have you running faster, but training smarter as well. It's the ultimate marathon training survival guide."
—Bill Rodgers, 4-time winner, Boston and NYC Marathons
"Runners of all stripes will want to spend time with sports medicine specialist and avid runner Vad's engaging and highly informative new book…Vad's mix of common sense and science adds up to a healthy, thoughtful approach to one of America's most popular fitness activities."
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"With such a great balance, The New Rules of Running looks to be this generation's answer to Jim Fixx's 40-year-old book [The Complete Book on Running], in it's ability to resonate with ALL types of runners. Combined with new concepts, innovations and training programs from one of America's greatest runners and coaches, it is highly recommended for all types of runners, particularly those wishing to embark upon that fall half-marathon/marathon."
—Run Blog Run
Dear Reader Letter
Dear Runner,
In 2011, I decided I was going to become a runner. I started going for training runs of two and three miles, and they were great. Three mile runes gave way to four mile runs. The scenery flew by, pedestrians obligingly stepped aside when they heard my footsteps, birds chirped specifically to cheer me along as I ran. I was going to be the next Joan Benoit. No, the next Usain Bolt! But a Usain Bolt who also runs marathons.
Then, as has happened to every distance runner ever, I got injured. Feeling betrayed by my legs, I went to a physical therapist, who told me all about patellofemoral pain syndrome, which is so common among runners that it's widely known as "runner's knee". A few months of physical therapy, foam rolling, and lots of stationary biking later, I was back to gingerly jogging a few miles a week.
How different that story would have been if I'd had The New Rules of Running in hand! I'd have known to increase my long run mileage by no more than 10% per week, to run slow on those long runs rather than trying to hold my race pace, and to use a foam roller to dispel tension in overworked muscles; I'd have varied the tempo and intensity of workouts to give my joints a break, figured out the best running shoes for my particular gait, and learned how to master the taper and chase away taper crazies. I'd have known which flavor Gu I liked! (note: none.). Thankfully, now I have this book, and — several marathons later– am back on track (no pun intended) to becoming the next Usain Bolt.
Buy this book. Train with it. Learn how to self-diagnose common running injuries, and why rest is always the best cure. Decide which pre- and post- run nutrition and stretches are best for you. Most of all, rest assured that you will know best how your body needs to train.
And then, give me a call, and we can go running.
Happy trails,
Gigi Campo

Much to be decided on momentous Monday
Click here for all the latest scores, match reports, news, videos and exclusive interviews during the Yorkshire Bank 40 campaign
The Clydesdale Bank 40 group stage is set for an exciting finale tomorrow with three semi-finalists and a home tie in the last four to be determined.
Lancashire have secured a home semi on Saturday and no other team from Group A can join them in the last four as the best runner-up.
The Red Rose have rested captain Glen Chapple, Ashwell Prince, Ajmal Shahzad and Gary Keedy for the game against Worcestershire at New Road tomorrow, when they will be led by Steven Croft.
England's Ravi Bopara has been made available for Essex's game with Middlesex at Lord's. The visitors are without the injured David Masters and have concerns over Graham Napier, who is nursing a slight hamstring problem, and Adam Wheater.
Second-placed Middlesex have rested Chris Rogers, Tim Murtagh and Toby Roland-Jones, but Paul Stirling is expected to return and Adam Rossington replaces John Simpson behind the stumps. Their bowling is bolstered by Corey Collymore and Gurjit Sandhu.
Gloucestershire have included Middlesex's Anthony Ireland, who is on loan at his old club for the rest of the season, in their squad to face Leicestershire at Grace Road.
Yesterday's Friends Life t20 winners Hampshire, who lead Group B, need victory over hosts Durham to ensure a semi-final, which would be away from home.
The Royals will be without Dimitri Mascarenhas due to the torn lat tendon he played with yesterday and are set to name the side that beat Surrey last Sunday. Neil McKenzie is due for his last game of the season before returning to South Africa to prepare for the domestic campaign there.
Chris Wood, who took three wickets in the last over of the FLt20 final, said: "We want more trophies; we are hungry as a side and backroom staff. We will not just settle for this one.
"We will recuperate and go to Durham and hopefully get the points there. Hopefully we will be coming away with two or three trophies at the end of the season."
Durham have rested skipper Dale Benkenstein, Paul Collingwood, Chris Rushworth and Graham Onions, with Mark Stoneman leading the side at the Emirates Durham ICG.
Holders Surrey and 2011 runners-up Somerset, who are hoping to take advantage of a Hampshire loss, meet at Taunton. The best they can hope for is an away semi.
Kevin Pietersen is set to play for Surrey with Tim Linley and Rory Burns coming into the squad.
Neither Nottinghamshire nor the Welsh Dragons, who clash at Trent Bridge, can qualify.
Notts have rested captain Chris Read and Michael Lumb, with Adam Voges set to lead the side and Riki Wessels to keep wicket. Neil Edwards, Scott Elstone and Harry Gurney, who is available after injury, are set to feature. The Dragons are without Jim Allenby and Dean Cosker.
Victory, a tie or no-result for Group C leaders Kent against Sussex, who have England Test wicketkeeper Matt Prior available, at Canterbury will earn them a home semi. Defeat will give their opponents that honour.
Warwickshire will go through as best runners-up by beating Yorkshire at Scarborough.
Derbyshire and Northamptonshire, neither of whom can qualify, face off at Derby.

"As The World 'Goes Software,' Oracle Has An Upside In Hardware" says ESG Analyst
By Kgee-Oracle on May 23, 2013
Last month, Oracle invited industry analysts for an annual deep dive on what's to come. One of these analysts – ESG's senior analyst Mark Peters – recently posted an update of how he spent some of his time at the event. We totally recommend you visit his blog and check out the post, but here are a few highlights:
Diverse Crowd
Peters was struck by the fact that he wasn't seeing a lot of familiar faces in the crowd. He later realized the reason for that was because Oracle doesn't just have a hardware message – it also speaks to the software side of the equation.
"The opportunities for Oracle to make significant progress in terms of market share and revenue lie in markets that it does not yet dominate. It's a crucial point for this growing systems house."
That's a crucial point we're well positioned for. Our complete stack of offerings provide world-record-breaking performance by fusing critical pieces of software and hardware in ways that deliver cost-performance unlike anything the tech industry has seen.
Bullish on Storage
Mark filmed a brief interview with Oracle's Phil Bullinger, senior vice president of storage. Mark and Phil go into great details on the ZFS Storage business.
Magnetic Personality
Mark also interviewed Jim Cates, vice president of hardware development, regarding what's coming for tape storage from Oracle – and more.

The Fort Lewis College men�s basketball team made sure to start off the New Year happy.
Every Skyhawk scored at least two points Friday night as the Fort Lewis men built an early lead over Chadron State and kept on working.
They beat the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Eagles 85-61 in their first game since Dec. 17.
�Road games in the RMAC are so tough so any time you get a road win, it�s a good team win,� FLC associate head coach Bob Pietrack said.
In the rout, the Eagles held their lone statistical advantage in rebounds (40-30) � perhaps because when your hands are as hot as FLC�s were in Chadron, Neb., on Friday night, you don�t need many of them.
Big man Alex Herrera also got into some early foul trouble, Pietrack said, and that forced the Skyhawks into a smaller lineup.
�Anytime Alex isn�t in the game, it hurts our rebounding ... but we made some shots,� Pietrack said of the former Ignacio High School standout.
Through the victory, the Skyhawks shot 55 percent from the floor, including 46 percent of their 3-pointers, to go with 73 percent from the free-throw line.
That translated into a team-high 18 points for Nick Tomsick, who was 4 of 5 from beyond the arc.
�Nick Tomsick came out and was really confident from the 3-point line. It really bled through our team,� Pietrack said.
Marcus Ayala scored 16 off the bench. Jared Smith scored 10 to go with starter Alex Herrera�s 10 points.
�Smith really gave us a spark off the bench,� Pietrack said.
The Fort Lewis bench scored 41 points, and the Skyhawks led by as many as 28 points after a 46-32 halftime score.
The Skyhawks (8-1 overall, 5-1 RMAC) will continue their road trip with a game at Black Hill State at 7:30 p.m. today in Spearfish, S.D.

MORGANTOWN - West Virginia will close out the regular season and honor three seniors today against Iowa State.
Game time is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. at the Coliseum.
The Mountaineers (13-17, 6-11 Big 12) hope to end the regular season on a winning note and secure the seventh seed in the upcoming Big 12 Conference tourney with a win. WVU has dropped its last five contests, including an 83-70 decision at Oklahoma on Wednesday.
"We need to win the game," Mountaineer coach Bob Huggins said. "If we win the game, we're assured the seventh seed in the tournament, which is certainly not what we want, but as the seventh seed we play TCU in the first round and Kansas State awaits."
A victory also would keep the Mountaineers from facing Kansas in a second-round contest if they were to win their opener.
Deniz Kilicli, Dom Rutledge and Matt Humphrey will all suit up for the final time at home for WVU.
Kilicli is the lone holdover from the Mountaineers' Final Four team from three years ago. The 6-9, 240-pound forward from Istanbul, Turkey, is averaging 9.1 points and 5.9 rebounds.
Rutledge and Humphrey both transfered into the program.
Rutledge, native of Newark, N.J., came to Morgantown via Western Texas Junior College, while Humphrey, who hails from Chicago, played at Boston College and Oregon before coming to WVU.
Freshman Eron Harris leads the Mountaineers in scoring with 9.8 points per game. He had 23 points in Wednesday's loss.
The Cyclones (20-10, 10-7) enter their first-ever appearance in Morgantown still in the mix for an NCAA tournament berth.
Iowa State, under Fred Horberg, is coming off an 87-76 win over No. 13 Oklahoma State Wednesday at home.
Five different players average in double figures for the Cyclones, led by guards Will Clyburn (14.8) and Tyrus McGee (13.3), along with 6-7 forward Georges Niang (11.7).

Mary Ruth Kapsiak, the Buffalo Board of Education president who represents the Central District, believes her concern for education and accomplishments warrant another three-year term.
Kapsiak said she's well aware the board has been criticized for failing to do more to elevate school performance, but she suggested many initiatives are headed in the right direction – and she wants to help implement them.
"There are initiatives I have been a part of that I would like to see come to fruition. I would like to see, within the next three years, our scores go up. I feel I spent six years on the School Board, and there are so many things on the table that need to be finished, and I would like to help with that," Kapsiak said.
Kapsiak, 71, who has served two terms on the board, spent 26 years as a commercial representative for NYNEX Corp. before entering the workforce in education.
She was a substitute teacher for six years, beginning in 1990. Later, she worked for two years each as a special-education and reading teacher before becoming an assistant principal and later supervisor of elementary education.
Kapsiak earned a bachelor's degree in speech communication from the University at Buffalo, a master's degree in exceptional education from SUNY Buffalo State and a certificate in reading and school district administration from Canisius College.
Her two children, and one who is deceased, attended schools in Buffalo and Kenmore.
"I offer my experience on the board and my background in education, [where] the fields I concentrated on were areas of need," Kapsiak said.
Her educational background, she said, covers "key areas that we need to focus on in order to make sure we are improving our schools, because special-ed students are not exempt from the testing that has to be done."
Kapsiak said her top accomplishments on the board were helping to bring to Buffalo Say Yes to Education, the initiative promising a free college education to all students who qualify, as well as expanding career and technical education and helping put parent facilitators in schools.
She wants to continue to advocate for expanding pre-K education, teacher development and training, and development opportunities in special education and classroom management.
In addition, Kapsiak said she wants to continue to expand the district's career and technical education programs.
She believes teachers shouldn't be required to live in the city, maintaining a policy she and the board put in place last year.
"My feeling is if a teacher can teach these children, I don't care where they come from. Let them come in and teach," Kapsiak said.
She is in favor of reinstating neighborhood schools, she doesn't support increasing charter schools because of inequity in funding, and she doesn't think city taxpayers should contribute more money to district schools.
Kapsiak also said she thought the key to student achievement in Buffalo's public schools is "to create a safe and nurturing environment," and she believes Superintendent Pamela C. Brown is on the right track.
She was critical of Distinguished Educator Judy Elliot for not initially sharing a critical report about the Buffalo Public Schools with the board, saying she had "very mixed feelings about the report and its outcomes."
The Buffalo Teachers Federation Political Action Committee gave Kapsiak $500 of the $700 she has reported so far for her re-election. She has also received the support of Citizen Action.
