Ice cold case heats up as Grand Jury investigates mystery death of wrestling great JIMMY "SUPERFLY" SNUKA's girlfriend in 1983.
Lehigh County, Pa. District Attorney Jim Martin made the decision to reopen the case after a local newspaper published the never before seen autopsy report and police interviews from the time of the original incident.
"I think it's important to have a grand jury take a look at it and we'll see what they think," Martin said.
Nancy L. Argentino, the girlfriend of then-married 1980's grappling titan Jimmy Snuka, was rushed to the hospital from his motel room on May 10, 1983. Snuka had returned from a World Wrestling Federation taping at the Allentown fairgrounds only to find Nancy gasping for air and oozing yellow fluid from her mouth and nostrils. Hours later, Argentino was declared dead by hospital staff.
According to the never-released autopsy, Argentino died of traumatic brain injuries consistent with a moving head striking a stationary object. Two dozen cuts and bruises on Argenetino indicate possible domestic abuse may have played a contributing factor in the cause of death, according to the autopsy report.
Forensic pathologist Isidore Mihalakis determined at the time that it should be investigated as a possible homicide. But it wasn't.
Snuka told police originally that he had shoved Argentino, causing her to fall, but later recanted saying investigators had misunderstood him. What Snuka maintains is that they had stopped their car so Nancy could relieve herself by the side of the road. Snuka said that she then slipped, banging her head on the ground.
Now, a grand jury will weigh the evidence and determine whether charges are warranted nearly 31 years later. There is no statute of limitations on homicide in Pennsylvania.
Nancy's younger sister Louise Argentino-Upham said, "Praise God that maybe justice will be done."
The District Attorney wouldn't say if there is any new evidence in the case or not. Nor would he confirm that Snuka is a possible focal point of the new investigation.
Snuka has yet to respond to media queries regarding the new probe.

Young Defenders Rising To The OccasionPosted by on August 9, 2011 – 7:57 pm
Much of what the defense does on a daily basis in practice is hard to track in terms of progression and regression. Games are the only real indication of who is a defender, and who is a pretender.
But with that in mind, here are a few observations about young players finding their form:
1. Ryan Kerrigan is making up for lost time
The knee injury that sidelined him early in camp isn't fully healed, but he looks comfortable playing in the brace for now. Kerrigan is going through an adjustment period to the pros, on top of a change of position and responsibility.
Kerrigan was a down lineman in college and didn't play many snaps in coverage. He said that he's been working hard with linebackers coach Lou Spanos to learn his responsibilities in coverage, but it's still going to take some time to feel natural. Probably at this point, he's best suited as a blitzing specialist from the linebacker position, or an extra man with his hand in the dirt.
Today during blitzing drills, Kerrigan was lined up against rookie running back Shaun Draughn. While there were times that Draughn was able to contain him, there were other times when Kerrigan mauled him en route to the quarterback.
The last play of the drill is one that Draughn won, and is shown below. In between the players, you can see the battle raging on: Read more »

Not All Fumbles Are Created EqualPosted by on August 9, 2011 – 4:23 pm
The Redskins announced their first official depth chart of the season earlier today, and Tim Hightower sits atop the running backs list.
This isn't a surprise, after the Redskins swung a trade to bring him to Washington (and incumbent Ryan Torain went down with another injury). Hightower represents an upgrade over anyone on the roster and provides durability to a position fraught with injury last season.
The only knock on him has been his propensity to put the ball on the ground, a Cardinal sin (pun intended) among running backs.
After practice today, head coach Mike Shanahan addressed what he sees when Hightower fumbles: Read more »

Rookie Receiver Isaac Anderson Not Backing DownPosted by on August 9, 2011 – 3:10 pm
Standing on the sideline with my back to the fans every morning (inevitably blocking someone's view), I get to hear the observations of the Redskins faithful.
Without fail, every morning I hear somebody ask during receiver drills, "Who the heck is No. 80?"
Meet Isaac Anderson, former Wisconsin Badger and undrafted wide receiver for your Redskins. He may not have the name, he may not have the hype, but so far he's doing all the right things to stick around.
"I'm just trying to go out there and learn as fast as I can," he said. "I definitely made a couple plays in back-to-back practices. I'm starting to pick it up and it's a lot better being here and getting the install than trying to catch up."
With the addition of players like Santana Moss and Donte Stallworth to practice, snaps have decreased across the board. However, the presence of these players has only helped players like Anderson. Read more »

Quarterback Competition Limited AgainPosted by on August 9, 2011 – 1:12 pm
This isn't exactly Sonny Jurgensen vs. Billy Kilmer, but quarterbacks John Beck and Rex Grossman went into the preseason in essentially a two-horse race for the starting job in Washington.
So far, Grossman was unable to take the field for the first week, as he was held out until the new CBA was agreed to. The two competed for about two and one-half practices before Beck tweaked a groin, and has been limited ever since.
With Kellen Clemens returning from a funeral today, the quarterback quintet (with Marc Verica and Ben Chappell) was able to warm up as a group this morning before moving on to more intense drills. Beck (far left) and Grossman (near left) threw the balls to the other three, below:

Show Me Your Football FacePosted by on August 9, 2011 – 8:24 am
The team pictured above is the Walker's Hornets Tiny Mites team from southeast DC, and they came out to Fan Appreciation Day on Saturday to watch the Redskins play.
These first-graders were under the supervision of parents Leroy and Courtney, when I walked over and riled them up. After I asked for a good muscle picture, they all started shouting out "LaRon Landry!"
I guess his physique precedes him.
This group was a loyal bunch of Redskins fans, and were fascinated by the Redskins players scrimmaging on the field in front of them. This is probably the only practice that they'll make it out to as a group, but the parents and coaches are hoping that the benefits will be long term.
"I told them to pay attention and learn something," Courtney and Leroy both chimed in. "Take something back home with you."
As far as the Redskins are concerned, Courtney and Leroy were both pleased with the offseason pickups. "Not really the sexy picks, but we needed to stop that," Courtney said.
"It never works out anyway," Leroy added, "and we hope it happens to Philly this year. They did all that and they won't do nothing with it."
Redskins fans seem to be genuinely excited about the low hype, Lunch-Pail Team that they're putting together in Washington.

Specialist Competition Kicks OffPosted by on August 9, 2011 – 12:39 am
No, seriously this time.
For more than a week, I've taken light-hearted pokes at the quietest competition in camp, the kicking position. I am here to report to you that the battle has actually, really, begun.
Today marked the first time that the kickers went head-to-head, kicking extra points after touchdowns at the end of practice. Results were somewhat rough.
After a Tim Hightower touchdown scamper, Shayne Graham punched the ball wide left. After a Ben Chappell to Keiland Williams touchdown, Graham Gano shanked the ball wide right, nearly hitting a reporter in the head.
Head coach Mike Shanahan was not about to have practice end on a pair of whiffs, and trotted Shayne back out there. This time he was able to put it through, and the competition was over for the day.
For those of you keeping track of this Graham-on-Graham crime, your tally should read Shayne 1, Gano 0.
In all seriousness, this practice was just the first of many opportunities for evaluating the talent of both kickers. For Shanahan, the clock on the competition starts now.
"We'll evaluate the competition every day," he said after practice. "We put them into situations like end of the game, game-winning field goal. We'll do that a number of times before we have to make our cut. We try to put them into situations and see how each guy reacts."
Even though Shayne likely emerged with the edge today, it didn't sound like he was particularly proud of his first showing, but not worried either.
"I feel like I was hitting the ball pretty well," he said. "It's a matter of finding our timing, because timing really means everything. I've learned in my career over the last 11 years that you're gonna miss some every now and then."
"I don't dwell on a missed kick," he explained further. "My last [practice] rep was 48 with 15 yards to spare."
A 63-yard kick in practice would go a long way towards Shayne winning the job, but we'll have to see.
Tomorrow's special teams report will cover the Australian Saga of Sav Rocca.

Thank you so much for tabbing this, and for sharing it. It is really appreciated. 5 stars.
No problem, i just loved it so much
This is great! Thanks to this I'll have this song down in no time once I get the hang of tremelo. There are quite a few adjustments you could make though that'd make the picking sound more 'open' and easier. There are quite a few leaps you have to make on the fretboard according to your tab that could easily be avoided by just playing an open string. Like instead of playing the 7th freth on the A (or G# technically) string, play open on the G (D#)) and that stuff to make it sound more fluent. But hey, that's just nitpicking, still an awesome tab, 5 stars!

Doyle's Wild Imagination
It was ironic that Richard Doyle's August 23 letter was titled "Price of Ignorance," as his diatribe was full of that which his letter lamented.
I'm a proud supporter of Obamacare for many reasons, not the least of which is that more than 3 million people (including myself) are now covered when they otherwise wouldn't be. The poor, the perpetually ill, the unemployed, and the average taxpayer have all reaped the benefits of this program through expanded Medicaid and reduced basic health care, tests and medicine.
Following his attack of Obamacare, Mr. Doyle then expressed conspiracy-theory claims of felon voting. Mr. Doyle presented no actual evidence. Even Norm Coleman's own lawyer said in court there was no fraud in the election. In a Star Tribune story about the numbers Mr. Doyle states as fact, Ramsey County prosecutor Phil Carruthers said "Overwhelmingly, their statistics were not accurate."
To use imaginary facts to claim an ID requirement is necessary is disingenuous. Minnesota's system is one of the least flawed in the country, evidenced by two recounts in the past two elections that have reinforced the legitimacy and professionalism of those running our elections.
Worse yet, Mr. Doyle openly supported a litmus test for voting, reminiscent of a time when women and people of color were not allowed to vote because they were viewed as less "intellectual."
Unlike Mr. Doyle and GOP leadership, I submit that we should look for ways to expand voting, not restrict it.

Hypocritical Attacks
To all those attacking Max Anderson in the comment section on the Forest Lakes Times website, at least Mr. Anderson is fairly respectful in his letters.
It is a bit hypocritical to be attacking him while none of you mention Richard Doyle's name calling and unsubstantiated attacks on Sen. Franken and President Obama; his letter may fit in nicely on some hate group's websites we all hear about. Where is your outrage with him or is that type of letter OK as long as you agree with him?
The ironic thing in Mr. Doyle's letter as he attacks the Affordable Healthcare Act, is his comment "I don't mind helping pay medical costs of the truly unfortunate, but I resent paying for those too irresponsible to buy insurance."
The healthcare law that Mr. Doyle is complaining about mandates that everyone must buy health insurance; it seems Mr. Doyle is complaining about the very thing the healthcare law would address.
Mr. Doyle also wrote "In a perfect world there would be some minimal intellectual qualification to vote… The price of ignorance is costly, and the cost has been growing."
While I disagree with Mr. Doyle's concept of a "minimal intellectual qualification to vote"; it would be a great improvement to the election process and our elected officials would be more accountable to their constituents, if voters like Mr. Doyle would educate themselves on issues and legislation prior to casting their ballots.

Venomous Letters
I am a news junkie. I get two newspapers on a daily basis and three weekly news magazines.
In all of these publications the first thing I read is the "letters to the editor" section. In these turbulent times many people are expressing strong emotions, but the letters that appear in the Forest Lake Times stand out for their venom.
On a consistent basis there are letters that are so angry, so hateful, so arrogant, so disrespectful that I am surprised they are published. What is next? Letters written in blood?
Please remember letters like these also elicit emotions, also negative. "You reap what you sow."

Miracles Happen
To Brad Ziernicki and Kelly Wing:
As usual you have done little or no research before sticking foot in mouth. Here is the quote form the group of Bishops from Catholics United themselves.
On April 16, a group of Catholic bishops condemned "Paul Ryan's budget proposal as failing a basic moral test in that it slashes food assistance to the poor and radically redefines safety net programs such as Medicare,"
For over 20 years Paul Ryan subscribed to Rand and her philosophies to the point of making it required reading for his staff and I quote: "The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand."
Suddenly Mr. Ryan has second thoughts on his being a disciple of Rand when considered for the VP spot and miraculously changed his thinking. How convenient after 20 years of being a Rand zealot.
I guess miracles do happen!
Ayn Rand called Christianity "the best kindergarten of communism possible." An avid atheist, she saw religions' support for the common good as "antithetical to her individualistic philosophy."
The philosophy of greed just to make yourself happy conflicts with most religions who believe in brother helping brother and assisting the poor.
I don't buy Ryan's sudden conversion nor the pathetic attempt by you to spread misinformation on such an important issue. Facts are facts.

Winning Record
As an economist, Julie Bunn, with her extensive experience and knowledge, will be working on our behalf to move our state forward in the face of significant economic and budget challenges. It would appear that David C. Olson, president of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, agrees.
In a recent opinion piece (Star Tribune, August 16), Olson cites major achievements led by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce these past years. The first is the Omnibus Transportation bill: In the 2007-8 session Julie voted along with her Democratic colleagues and six Republicans who crossed over party orders to override Pawlenty's veto, to pass overdue funding to maintain roads and bridges, and in particular provided funding for the St Croix River bridge.
Julie Bunn chief authored the 2007, and co-authored the 2008, Minnesota healthcare reform proposals that were passed and signed into law. As Olson mentions, these were indeed significant accomplishments for the business community.
Julie is a bold, innovative and practical leader with a record of writing and supporting good-for-business legislation. Let's make sure the wheels keep turning by voting for Julie Bunn for Senate in District 39 this November.

Invest in Future
Dear Mayor Johnson and Council:
I won't be at your budget meeting August 30, but I would like to add my two cents worth, namely, that you don't get enough credit for all you do! I would tell you how much I trust that each of you has our best interests in mind as you deliberate, even if I don't always agree with all of your individual positions.
Most citizens agree you have a thankless job as you try to meet the diverse needs and wishes of a community that is, itself, diverse in many ways; and yet we are one in our pride and joy of living here.
In the 34 years I have lived in this community, I have never observed what some vocal residents call a "tax and spend" government. There has so been much bending over backwards to appease the "anti any kind of tax" group that we are always playing catch-up to bring us up to date as a 20th century city, let alone being prepared for 21st century demands.
As you deliberate how much money you need from us to do what is necessary to maintain what we have, and (forgive us of our sins………if we should) invest in the future, know that you have my support as one resident.
More importantly, I hopefully assume the vast majority of Forest Lakers are behind you, and might be embarrassed that we don't say so often enough! We trust you will use our tax dollars wisely, and we like what you have been doing.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
couple things come to mind
it may simply be folliculitis - infected hair follicles
it could be mulloscum contagiosum
may have misspelled that
it may also be herpes
the latter two are viral conditions that are quite common
I reallly dont thinks its a hair thing and ive been with the same guy for well over a yr and have never had this before
I understand
It may not be, but the diagnosis needs to be excluded since you are pregnant.
Could pregnancy bring something like this out?
the herpes virus is one of those that may be dangerous to the baby around delivery time
yes, absolutely
because a woman's immune system is stressed and drops a bit during pregnancy
thus, if your immune system had suppressed a viral infection previously, it may surface in pregnancy
So in short i should be examined
so, basically what I'm saying..is you may have been exposed to something years ago
yes, particularly because you are pregnant.
Well great thanks
you're welcome
take care and good luck with your pregnancy
thank you

It is estimated that 3 million people in the United States choose to deliberately cut, burn or cause pain to themselves. A new form of self-injury is taking the medical spotlight and WHIZ's Katie Jeffries traveled to Columbus to speak with the nation's foremost expert about this new fad.
Everyday items such as pencils, crayons or staples can be found in homes across the country. While these objects appear harmless, some teenagers are using them to take self-injury to the next level.
This is a long paper clip she had unfolded and embedded under the skin and into the bicep muscle and this is a staple, four staple fragments, this is pencil led graphite fragments from a number two pencil under the skin," says Dr. William Shiels, Chief of Radiology at Nationwide Children's Hospital, as he explains an X-ray.
A behavior now termed "Self-Embedding" was discovered by Dr. William Shiels and research intern Adam Young in 2005. Dr. Shiels says teenagers who self-embed put items under their skin to intentionally cause pain.
"This is an incomplete act of self-injury that is very severe and yes it is much more severe than traditional forms of self-injury which are cutting and burning, which is rather commonplace in the adolescent population unfortunately," tells Dr. Shiels.
Dr. Shiels and his team of Interventional Radiologists have treated and studied 11 teenagers who repeatedly self-embed and found many similarities.
"All of the children were in foster care, all the children lived outside their native homes, all the children had multiple behavioral abnormalities and diagnoses. Self-embedding centers around disorders like depression or anxiety disorder or ADHD. These children have a more severe constallation of abnormalities and each child had at least two if not three or four more of the diagnoses," says Dr. Shiels.
While self-embedding is rare, Dr. Shiels says in every city he has presented his findings, health care workers have said they have seen at least once case that could be self-embedding. To remove these items, Dr. Shiels and his team of Interventional Radiologists developed a technique called Ultrasound Guided Foreign Body Removal. After administering novocain to the patient, ultrasound equipment is used to locate items under the skin and then Dr. Shiels, or a member of his team, uses forceps to go into the muscle to remove the items. This technique leaves minimal scarring and Dr. Shiels teaches it to fellow doctors around the world.
There are signs a parent or caregiver can look for to know if a child or teen may be self-embedding.
"The best things to look for are injuries or wounds that don't make sense. Children when they fall they don't tend to fall and get wounds on the inside of their elbows or the inside of their forearm. So if they start seeing nicks and bruises and band aides in places they don't have an explanation for, that is a tip-off," explains Dr. Shiels.
These children are by no means a lost cause. Dr. Shiels says with the help of a behavioral health team, there is no reason they cannot live a full and normal life.
"It is a really a message of hope more than it is a message of morbid concern and the hope that indeed if we do intervene that we can indeed help these children learn coping skills that translate into living a healthy life as an adult," tells Dr. Shiels.
A representative from the Genesis Healthcare System says Muskingum County has not seen a case of self-embedding, yet.

Some cycling activists are taking the law into their own hands.
Nearly one week after Department of Transportation (DOT) workers sandblasted 14 blocks of bicycle lanes on Bedford Avenue in South Williamsburg, a group of vigilantes rolled and sprayed white paint over the lines that had been removed.
According to police sources, on Monday, December 7 at approximately 3:30 a.m., witnesses observed two individuals painting bike lanes on Bedford Avenue, between Clymer and Division avenues. Officers arrested the two suspects, Quinn Hechtropf, 26, and Katherine Piccochi, 24, and charged them with criminal mischief.
According to the New York Post, the Shorim Police Patrol, a Hasidic volunteer community watch unit, identified the two individuals, though the two were not immediately arrested by the police or given summonses.
"I think it's vandalism," said Simon Weiser, a Community Board 1 member and a nearby resident. "It must have been very professional. They had a symbol of a bike, they painted a few blocks, and it looks like it was orchestrated."
According to the DOT, any paint remaining after this week's rain will be removed, and that the lane was removed last week "as part of ongoing bike network adjustments in the area." A DOT spokesperson said he had not heard of any incident in the city where someone has repainted a bicycle lane after it was removed.
A 90-second video of the vandalism acts was posted early Tuesday morning on YouTube by "occupyeverything," a student activist organization also involved in recent demonstrations and building occupations at The New School and New York University.The video shows precisely how the scofflaws painted the lines that were removed, and reveals that there may be more individuals involved in the defacement.
Transportation advocates, including Transportation Alternatives spokesperson Wiley Norvell, said that cyclists "don't need to risk arrest to claim a lane on Bedford Avenue," and that it is their right by law to ride on any city street.
"With respect to the decision to remove the lane in the first place, it is one we disagree with. Every street should be safe for cycling," said Norvell.
Weiser believes otherwise.He said that the bike lane was "taking a toll on the local community" and did not fit in that section of Williamsburg, which has a large number of school buses and car uses.
"The city has ignored the community before they put the bike lane in. It's good that they heard both community concerns and they fixed it," said Weiser. "People don't like it that it was removed, but we have to be fair. The city is very accommodating for the bikers. If things don't work perfectly, it has to be adjusted."
But Lacey Tauber, a Neighbors Allied for Good Growth member and Williamsburg resident, said that the Bedford Avenue bike lane is a "convenient route that connects many parts of Brooklyn."
"The 14-block section that the DOT removed was located in a bustling area that is heavily used by cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers alike," said Tauber. "Cyclists are likely to continue to use Bedford whether there is a lane there or not, and the removed lane provided essential protection for cyclists against speeding cars."

TEL AVIV (May. 21)
The Israel legation in Moscow is investigating the possibilities of purchasing oil from the Soviet Union, Zeev Argaman, counsellor of the legation in Moscow, declared here today before leaving to resume his duties. Mr. Argaman, who spent two weeks here facilitating the export of citrus products to Russia, said that Israel has purchased 300 tons of paraffin, which is enough to cover half of its annual needs, from the U.S.S.R.

"Everyone...i would like to introduce you all to...Mr. Vihaan. He has come here to learn, teach and share his managerial experiences. He has had an excellent work record in Australia and here he will be heading our various departments alternately." announced Jatin soon after Bulbul had managed to change into something less conspicuous. 'MEDIA DEPARTMENT?'...Bulbul barely made an attempt to keep her voice down. dat fat head was now her manager and will be at perfect liberty to go around lecturing dem on western methods of journalism. She angrily shoved her hands into d coat. COAT? His coat!... She turned so fast dat her neck creaked and sure as hell...dere he stood smirking slightly as if not just d coat...but even d body to which it was clinging ...rightfully belonged to him. d thought tingled her toes yet she nonchalantly walked across to him. Vihaan cudn't help himself. d female had looked so obviously out of place during dere lift rendezvous ...dat she had completely failed in his feminine list. She hadn't leaned on him for help...hadn't shown even a hint of blush...flirt...or anything remotely romantic. And now with her ego lightly bruised for becoming d borrower of his coat...she amused him. As his lips turned into a curve ...he realized dat dey had done so after a really long time. Had to be a good start to a new life.
d videos skimmed in front of her eyes...her mind was here...right on her desk...but her body refused to follow suit. dey still bore fresh sensations of her manager's hands...d warm hug of his coat...and her heart smelt of his smiling eyes. With an exasperated sigh Bulbul got up...and as if on cue...he pulled her back...d calling signal burnt red on her desk. And so bulbul entered gritting her teeth. She knew dis oldest trick on earth by heart. Make your subordinate work late and den on pretext of dropping her...
'Your current case is dangerous.' vihaan's tired eyes reflected no surprise when bulbul's eyes flared up on his interruption of her thoughts. He could already read her. Help cud never be given to her. But wat did surprise him was bulbul counting off d fingers of her hand. His eyes did dere favourite chore...and found her silently mumbling lips. His curiosity was finally answered when dere eyes locked and he found her anger abated. Bulbul turned a brilliant red when vihaan caught her back counting to check her anger. He had actually turned his back on her to avoid being seen giggling. 'There is no one to assist me.' her statement tried to get dem both to d point. "I will" Vihaan could barely suppress a chuckle. Bulbul took in d smiling eyes...d smiling lips...and d relaxed frame of her new manager and sighed. "I think publicity might be a better option for you. Leave journalism to me."
I know dis part wasnt much...but as usual i wanted d upcoming ViBu moments to b a pleasure...

The Situation
One of the world's most densely populated countries, Bangladesh is home to 159 million people, 40% of them children. Bangladesh became an independent state in 1971 and its political history has seen periods of martial law, military rule and parliamentary democracy. The Awami League was democratically elected to government at the most recent elections held in December 2008.
Extremely fertile, yet prone to floods and cyclones, this low-lying country is particularly vulnerable to natural disasters and the devastating effects of climate change. Three-quarters of Bangladeshis live in rural areas, but rapid urbanisation is also occurring, resulting in high land prices and the growth of large urban slums.
Despite these challenges, Bangladesh has made significant progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) for children, particularly those relating to universal primary school education and the reduction of child mortality. Since 1990, child mortality was reduced by more than 50 percent in Bangladesh.
While human development indicators continue to improve, 41.3 percent of the population still live on less than $1.00 a day and about 84% survive on less than $2 a day.

I'm not doing a big year-in-review post. I don't feel like rehashing 2013. It started out great -- I ran new PRs in the half marathon, marathon and 5-miler before the end of May, and the summer series of 5Ks went well too -- but I've just been dealing with nagging injury after nagging injury since the beginning of September, and I'm starting to feel a bit of a whine coming on.
It was something in my right foot for the longest time. That had finally healed up for good by the time Rehoboth happened. I ran that race pain-free and felt fine after it, until the next time I ran, three days later. Both of my calves felt way too sore the next morning for having run a simple 3-miler, and while the right leg quickly returned to normal, something has gone awry in the left one. It just feels weak from the knee down. I don't know how to explain it. Whatever it is, I've been forced to cut short or skip some important Shamrock training runs waiting for it to go away, and it's pissing me off.
Today is pretty cold, as you might have heard, and when I got to work this morning, everyone was talking about it. Someone asked me if I ran today, and I said I hadn't, though it was due to something that's been bothering my leg. This old guy jumped in and asked if I run on "blacktop." (Which made me picture someone running circles around the blacktop pad where we used to play kickball at recess, but anyway.) I reluctantly said yes, I run on paved roads, because I knew what was coming next:
"Jogging on blacktop ruins the cartilage in your knees!"
Normally I'd just laugh it off, but this time I looked him square in the eye and said, "No it doesn't."
Mic drop. Put a sock in it, NAYSAYER.
I'm sick and tired of not being able to just go out and run the way I used to. I ran 270 fewer miles in 2013 compared to 2012, which was already 350 short of 2011's total. And I'm not consciously reducing my training miles here, I'm just having to skip that many because of these stupid persistent injuries.
I really wanted to train for a big PR at Shamrock, especially after I had to drop to the half at Indy this past fall, but it's not looking good at the moment. I've had to skip the 16- and 17-milers that were scheduled for the last two weekends. I've got my fingers crossed I'll be OK for the 19- and 20-milers when they get here, but they're coming up quick.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I wear the same kind of shoes I've been wearing for years. I take more rest days than I used to. I strength train. I haven't lost or gained any weight. I know I could be more diligent about stretching after runs, but I've always been terrible about remembering that, even back when I was running seven days a week and 200-plus miles a month without so much as a twinge.
Just put me back the way I was, please!
I'm not all doom and gloom though! As much pissing and moaning as I did right there, my life actually doesn't completely suck.
For Christmas, I did something I never thought I would. I asked for a Garmin. Bangle very kindly sent me his used Forerunner 205 almost a year ago, but since then, the buttons stopped responding unless I jammed a house key in them. (I don't have fingernails.) I never got used to how big the 205 felt compared to my little Timex watch, and I never used anything on it other than time/distance/pace, so I asked for a purple Garmin 10.
I really love it. I've worn it for every run since I got it, even the 0.4-miler I took Pepper on last Friday, when it was so cold and icy he started whimpering and trying to climb up into my arms 0.2 miles from our driveway, so I gave in and took him home.
Speaking of Pepper, he's busy being the most adorable dog I've ever seen. This was his annual picture with Santa Claws:
You should see the way he acts as soon as he gets out of the car at PetSmart. Just a total lunatic, pulling on the leash and making that awful gagging sound, windmilling his front legs trying to gain traction on the linoleum floor in the store, the whole bit. Until we get to the little room in the back with Santa, that is, when he sits down and takes a picture like the one above. This was the fourth year I've taken him to get his picture with Santa, and he does it every time.
And here he is using Clark's foot for a pillow after we all passed out after brunch Christmas morning:
(My mother-in-law bought us all matching pajamas and asked us to wear them.)
Anyway, while it might look like a Shamrock PR is swirling down the drain right now, I do have something to look forward to. Last night, Clark and I booked some flights to and in California at the end of the month!
He has to go to a wine convention in Sacramento the last week of January, so I'm tagging along. We're flying out the weekend before the show, Jan. 25-26, to see San Francisco. Then we'll be in Sacramento all week, for the convention, until that Friday, Jan. 31, when we're flying down to San Diego. I got him a fancy pants new wetsuit for Christmas, and he got me one in September for our anniversary, and we just want to rent some surfboards for the weekend and get in the ocean before flying home that Monday, Feb. 3.
I'm hoping to get to see some Loopsters, since Surf City just happens to be that second weekend when we'll be in the southern end of the state, but I'm not making any promises. I was not blessed with "the look" so many sitcoms would have me believe makes husbands bow to their wives' will, and I have a feeling surfing in San Diego will be higher on Clark's priority list than hanging out with my internet friends. You never know though!
Should I put my goals for 2014 here? It's just one and it's very simple -- to get healthy and stay that way. So far my race lineup includes:
- Shamrock Whale Challenge (8K/marathon) in March
- A half marathon in Ocean City, Md., in April because my cousin is running it as her first-ever half
- Another half marathon in St. Michaels, Md., in May
- The summer series at the beach
- A 10K over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in November
- The half in Rehoboth in December
The main thing I'm missing is a fall marathon. I have no ideas right now.
Happy running!

Former Goldman Sachs director Rajat Gupta arrested
Watch Video:
Former Goldman Sachs director Gupta guilty of insider trading
A jury has convicted former Goldman Sachs director Rajat Gupta in his high-profile insider-trading case in New York.
A federal jury had been weighing Gupta's fate for two days. The jury of eight women and four men found Gupta guilty of four criminal counts in a wide government push against insider trading.
Gupta was found guilty of three counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy for leaking stock tips to Raj Rajaratnam, head of the Galleon Group hedge fund. He was acquitted on two counts of securities fraud.
Each fraud charge carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison; the conspiracy charge could result in up to five years. Gupta will be sentenced on Oct. 18.
Gupta, 63, was the highest-profile defendant to face federal charges in a wide-ranging insider-trading scheme headed by Raj Rajaratnam.
Rajaratnam was found guilty last year and sentenced to 11 years in prison.
Like Rajaratnam's trial, Gupta's had its share of Wall Street star power. His trial featured multiple days of testimony by Goldman's chairman and chief executive officer, Lloyd Blankfein, as well as videotaped testimony by Ajit Jain, who is seen as a potential successor to legendary investor Warren Buffett to run Berkshire Hathaway.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan produced emails, phone records and other documents in their bid to prove Gupta was a highly placed tipster for Rajaratnam, providing illegal inside information to Rajaratnam, head of the Galleon Group hedge fund.
Gupta's defense team portrayed the government's case as circumstantial, arguing in part that the well-connected Rajaratnam could have gotten tips elsewhere on Wall Street.
Gupta chose not to testify at his own trial.

|This is an amazing line. Now I did "come up" with a variation to it! 3/4 up before the crack thins out, as I was pumped out my mind hanging on that good ledge with marginal feet, I placed a nut to my left in the horizontal crack and kept looking at the arête (Margin of Profit) which was calling my name as a good rest. Now getting there made for a SPICY traverse with absolutely NO FEET.Ah Ah. I finished on Margin's very run out ending. SO much fun - LOONG CLIMB. Yes next time i'd like to try the thin dihedral version. I hear it's good eh eh.

Cran-Orange Oatmeal Cookies
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
A lovely fall and winter treat, cran-orange oatmeal cookies are a fun and simple treat and are a great way to include the kids in the kitchen!
Recipe type: Snack
Serves: 24
- ½ cup Nutiva Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
- ½ cup Nutiva Organic Coconut Sugar
- ¼ cup Raw Sugar (finer crystals recommended)
- 1 Egg
- ¾ tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tbsp Orange Zest (freshly grated)
- 2 tbsp Orange Juice (freshly squeezed)
- ¾ cup Wheat Flour (can be substituted for gluten-free flour of choice for gluten free option)
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Cinnamon (ground)
- ½ cup Dried Cranberries (tossed in flour)
- 1½ cup Rolled Oats
- Sea Salt
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a medium-large bowl, whip together coconut oil, coconut sugar, and raw sugar until fully incorporated. Beat in the egg, followed by vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and cinnamon until fully and evenly mixed.
- Stir the flour mixture into the oil mixture until smooth.
- Stir in oats, then cranberries (coated with flour so they don't sink to the bottom).
- Scoop cookies onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets with a cookie drop. You can use a heaping tablespoon or 2 tbsp measure as well, but be sure to round the scoops into balls. Each ball should be approximately 2 tbsp.
- With the palm of your hand or the bottom of a spoon, flatten the top of each round ball of dough. This will result in a round, thick cookie. For a thinner, crispier cookie, completely flatten the dough to the sheet. For a thicker cookie, do not flatten the top.
- Sprinkle the top of each cookie with just a pinch of sea salt.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden-brown in color and the cookies have lost their shine.
- Transfer parchment paper with cookies onto a cooling rack and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before enjoying.
A lovely fall and winter treat, these cookies are a fun and simple treat and are a great way to include the kids in the kitchen!

The scenes of Joey in Paris at the end of the episode were actually shot in Montreal.
In one shot Joey is reading a map with a girl. In the background you can clearly see the flag of Montreal and the old Montreal port monument.
Audrey is helping to film Dawson's movie by playing the role of Ms. Jacobs. However, she is in the midst of Summer School at Worthington (she mentions how boring the classes are). It's not likely that she would ditch her classes since her academic standing is in jeopardy from missing almost an entire semester previously.
When Joey and Dawson are laying on his bed talking, Joey shifts from staring to him to staring straight up in way too fast transitions for her to have actually moved her head.
When Jen and Grams are talking on the porch, they ask Dawson if their cab has arrived and he says no. While they are saying their goodbyes to everyone the cab has arrived, and when they are finished saying goodbye, Grams, Jack and Jen walk to the cab and get in to leave for NYC. What happened to their luggage? It's not carried to the car.
After helping Dawson shoot his movie Joey finally goes to Paris.
There is one shot of her in front of the Eiffel Tower, the place where Katie Holmes got engaged to Tom Cruise.
Jen: What is this feeling? It just seems like everything's getting smaller and smaller. It's all still there, but I just can't touch it.
Jack: I think it's called good-bye.
Dawson: I don't want to close my eyes.
Joey: Why?
Dawson: I'm afraid you won't be there when I wake up.
Joey: Close your eyes.
Joey: I used to be afraid of so many things: that I'd never grow up, that I'd be trapped in the same place for all eternity, that my dreams would forever be shy of my reach. It's true what they say: time plays tricks on you. One day you're dreaming, and the next your dream has become your reality. And now that the scared little girl no longer follows me wherever I go. I miss her. I do. Because there are things I wanna tell her: to relax, to lighten up, that it is all going to be OK. I want her to know that meeting people who like you, who understand you, who actually accept you for who you are will become an increasingly rare occurrence. Jen, Jack, Audrey, Andie, Pacey and Dawson, these people who contributed to who I am, they are with me wherever I go. And as history gets rewritten in small ways with each passing day, my love for them only grows. Because the truth is it was the best of times. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned. But all of that has receded into fond memory now. How does it happen? Why are we so quick to forget the bad and romanticize the good? Maybe it is because we need to believe that the time we spent together actually meant something, that we were there for each other in a time in our lives that defined us all. A time in our lives that we will never forget. I can't swear this is exactly how it happened, but this is how it felt.
Audrey: Who the hell is Eve?
Jack: Long story. Ambiguous ending.
Spanish title: Joey Potter y la Redención en Capeside, meaning Joey Potter and the Redemption in Capeside.
This is the last episode in which Busy Philipps (Audrey Liddell) appears.
Music featured in the episode included:
Void by Red House Painters
Nobody's Fault by Phantom Planet
Sins by Glen Echo
Pleasant Valley Sunday by The Wedding Present
Soundtrack Of Your Life by A Girl Called Eddy
Blue Mind by Alexi Murdoch
The Air That I Breathe by The Hollies
This episode was originally outlined as the season 6 finale, but the ending was "retooled" to set up the next two episodes, when the decision was made to end the series.
This episode briefly mentions Eve, a character who was introduced in season 3, who later was revealed to be Jen's secret half sister.
The storyline, which Dawson's Creek's creator Kevin Williamson called "a disaster. A total mistake," was abandoned.
Historic Moment: After five long years Joey finally makes it to Paris.
Jen leaves Capeside in the same way as when she first arrived in Capeside: in a yellow taxi cab as Dawson is filming a movie, in the exact same spot where he filmed his first movie and recreating the same scene he was shooting when Jen first arrived.
Several scenes from the very first episode are recreated in this episode including: the very first scene where Joey and Dawson share a bed; the scene where Pacey, in his sea creature costume, jumps out of the water and pulls Joey in; the scene where we first see Joey row her boat home and the scene where Dawson and Pacey first meet Ms. Jacobs in the video store.
Nicole Steinwedell guests as Kristy Livingstone, a character that Ali Larter originally played in the season two episodes The Kiss and The Dance.
The episode title, Joey Potter and the Capeside Redemption, is taken from the 1982 Stephen King's shortstory entitled Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, which was the basis for the 1994 movie The Shawshank Redemption.
The book in which Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption was edited is the same book in which Apt Pupil can be found. Joshua Jackson starred in the movie version of that shortstory. His character's name in the movie was Joey.

Scalable Join Patterns
Coordination can destroy scalability in parallel programming. A comprehensive library of scalable synchronization primitives is therefore an essential tool for exploiting parallelism. Unfortunately, such primitives do not easily combine to yield solutions to more complex problems. The authors demonstrate that a concurrency library based on Fournet and Gonthier's join calculus can provide declarative and scalable coordination. By declarative, they mean that the programmer needs only to write down the constraints of a coordination problem, and the library will automatically derive a correct solution. By scalable, they mean that the derived solutions deliver robust performance both as the number of processors increases, and as the complexity of the coordination problem grows.

text: Car is a 2006 2.0TDi140, 44k When i test drove the car 4 weeks ago the coolant was low so i mentioned the possible head problems and the salesman said it would be sorted. When i picked the car up a week later the coolant was above max? and when i asked what had been done he said everything was sorted Now 350 miles later i've just had a look and the coolant was at the min mark so obviously there is still a problem. there is no mayo on the oil filler cap or on the dipstick, no leak on the floor nor anywhere else i can see. Could it be the cracked head problem without showing any of these signs or would i see mayo for definate? Dealer is 90 miles away but i have an AA gold warranty which i was told i can use at the local main dealers?

Top 10 debuts with new teams
January 14, 2014, David Caraviello, NASCAR.com
There is something about change that can be reinvigorating, that by its very nature can shake off the cobwebs of routine. With a new position, new surroundings or a new vantage point, anything suddenly seems possible.
That's certainly been the case in NASCAR, as time and time again we've seen drivers step into new rides and enjoy renewed careers in the process.
That was certainly the case last year, as Kurt Busch returned to an elite level in his lone full season at Furniture Row Racing, Joey Logano broke through as a Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup contender in his first season at what was then-known as Penske Racing, and Matt Kenseth nearly won the title in a seamless debut at Joe Gibbs Racing. While not every driver thrives in a new environment, the 2013 campaign offered plenty of evidence as to the power of change.
And at NASCAR's top level, the change is only beginning. This coming season brings with it a flurry of ride swapping, and a number of drivers who hope to feel as rejuvenated with their new teams as so many of their fellow competitors were a year ago. Busch and Kevin Harvick move to Stewart-Haas Racing, Martin Truex Jr. moves to Furniture Row, Ryan Newman moves to Richard Childress Racing and AJ Allmendinger goes full-time at JTG Daugherty Racing. (For a complete look at the changes, visit the Driver Tracker.)
Given some of the breakthroughs enjoyed last season, the bar is set rather high. In his opening campaign at JGR, Kenseth led the series with seven victories, and fell 19 points shy of becoming the first driver in 32 years to win the title in his debut with a new team. Given all the firepower changing hands for 2014, somebody might well rival that. Until then, here are the 10 best seasons enjoyed by drivers in their maiden voyages with new teams.
First impressions
An analysis of how drivers have fared in the first year with a new team over the past three seasons (2011-13): Must have finished in the top 20 in owners points to be eligible. Rookies were not counted.
Average wins per season: 2.0
Average top-fives: 9.1
Average top-10s: 16.5
Average finish (race): 14.6
Average finish (season): 9.5
Percentage making Chase: 62.5
10. Harry Gant, 1981
Gant's career seemed over before it started, given that he had driven for 11 different car owners over a span of eight seasons, never really enjoying much success. That all changed in the spring of 1981 when Gant, then 41, made his first start for the Skoal Bandit team owned by Hollywood director and stuntman Hal Needham. Gant placed second in his debut at Darlington, and then went on to record five more runner-up finishes, win three poles, and wind up third in final points. It was a breakthrough season for Handsome Harry that would lay the groundwork for several more great ones, first with Needham and later owner Leo Jackson, still to come.
9. Fred Lorenzen, 1961
Lorenzen had always been a successful driver, first on the short tracks around his native Chicago and then in the U.S. Auto Club ranks, where he won a pair of titles. But he made the transition to great one early in his third NASCAR season, when he got the offer of a lifetime from powerhouse team Holman-Moody. Driving some of the best equipment of his day, Fast Freddie blossomed into a star in 1961, when he won three times on the sport's premier circuit. The victories, all of them with Holman-Moody, would pile up over the next seven years, as Lorenzen won 26 times in a career that would earn him nomination for the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
8. Cale Yarborough, 1973
The son of a tobacco farmer who once famously subsisted solely on discounted cans of black-eyed peas found at a grocery store, Yarborough was no stranger to hard times. His NASCAR career certainly seemed on the rocks in the early 1970s, due to shifting dynamics in sponsorship and factory support. At one point, the future Hall of Famer even left to race open-wheel cars. But he made a huge comeback in 1973 with the Richard Howard-funded Junior Johnson team, winning four times and finishing second to Benny Parsons in the final standings. Yarborough's run was just beginning -- as he would post 55 wins and three titles from 1973 to 1980.
7. David Pearson, 1972
He was 37 years old, and some wondered if the career of the Silver Fox was fading. By 1971, Pearson had won his three championships, but his glory days with Cotton Owens were behind him, and he had signed with a new team owned by Chris Vallo and Ray Nichels that would dissolve due to poor performance in just seven races. Ten events into the 1972 season, Pearson had made just two starts. But that April, the eventual Hall of Famer hooked up with the Wood Brothers, and beat Richard Petty by a lap at Darlington. Pearson went on to win six times that season, and over the next seven years not only returned to dominance, but made himself nearly synonymous with the brothers from Stuart, Va., and their No. 21.
6. Kyle Busch, 2008
Busch seemed like the odd man out in late 2007 when Hendrick Motorsports added Dale Earnhardt Jr. to its stable of drivers and Rowdy's subsequent move to Joe Gibbs Racing for the following season seemed to many like a consolation prize. That turned out to hardly be the case, as Busch went on to enjoy his best season to date, an eight-win campaign that cemented him as the No. 1 seed entering the Chase. Mechanical breakdowns in each of the opening three playoff races scuttled his title hopes, and Busch plummeted to a final 10th-place ranking that was hardly indicative of the whole season. But for one 14-week summer stretch where he won seven times and swept both road courses, nobody was better.
5. Mark Martin, 2009
While he wasn't retired -- use that word around the man at your own peril -- Martin certainly appeared to be scaling back in the late 2000s, after his long and successful run with Jack Roush's team had finally come to an end. He raced partial seasons in 2007 and '08, nearly taking the Daytona 500 in the process. Then came the year Martin still refers to as "a gift" -- 2009, when Rick Hendrick put him in the No. 5 car, and the Arkansan enjoyed perhaps the most gratifying season of his career. Martin won five times, finished second yet again in the championship race, and helped Hendrick to an unprecedented sweep of the top three positions in final points. The magic faded after that, but the memories of that special season continue to endure.
4. Matt Kenseth, 2013
The 2003 champion of NASCAR's premier series was 95 percent certain he'd never have another title shot, not in his final years with a Roush Fenway program whose cars seemed to lack the week-to-week speed necessary for a serious run at the crown. That all changed when Kenseth landed at JGR last year, in a move that allowed Roush to promote Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Kenseth clicked with his new crew chief, he felt comfortable in his new cars, and suddenly he was winning races at a rate he hadn't seen in years. Kenseth's debut at JGR netted a personal best seven victories, best in Sprint Cup in 2013, and established him as a title favorite from the beginning. He may have fallen 19 points shy of Jimmie Johnson, but he'll also be back again this year.
3. Ned Jarrett, 1964
By the end of the 1963 season, Jarrett had solidly established himself as one of NASCAR's top drivers, with a championship and 22 race wins already to his name. But the next year Jarrett truly took the step into greatness with the help of Bondy Long, a car enthusiast who became a team owner while still in his 20s. Long approached Ford Motor Co. for factory support, and the manufacturer suggested Jarrett as a driver, and the results were incredible. In Long's No. 11 Ford, the future Hall of Famer won 14 times in 1964 for Long, finishing as runner-up in the standings to Richard Petty. (He even added a 15th win driving for Charles Robinson.) The next year Jarrett finished the job, winning 13 more times and adding his second championship, and cementing his legacy in the process.
2. Darrell Waltrip, 1981
They were the fiercest of rivals, Waltrip and Yarborough, both tenacious on the race track yet different in so many other ways. It was Yarborough, after all, who had christened Waltrip "that talky Jaws" following a crash at Darlington. So it was a surprise to Waltrip when Yarborough approached him late in the 1980 season, with the news that he was stepping out of Junior Johnson's powerhouse ride -- and that he wanted D.W. to succeed him. And succeed D.W. did, motoring to a career-best 12 wins in 1981 (he would win 12 races again in 1982), and winning his first championship in his first season in Johnson's famous No. 11 car. Two more titles followed for the future Hall of Famer, and to this day Waltrip in 1981 remains the most recent driver to win a championship in his debut season with a new team.
1. Tim Flock, 1955
As it so often the case when it came to one of NASCAR's biggest early stars, the monkey got all the attention. Flock drove a handful of races in the early 1950s with a Rhesus monkey named Jocko Flocko riding shotgun, a promotional stunt that was the brainchild of car owner Ted Chester. Poor Jocko eventually went bananas in the car, overshadowing even a career that saw Flock win a title in 1952 and break through as one of the sport's best drivers. But Chester left the sport, and Flock was disqualified by NASCAR for illegally soldered carburetor screws found on his car after winning the 1954 beach-road race at Daytona. Furious, Flock quit the sport and returned to Atlanta to open a gas station. And that might have been it -- had he not traveled back to Daytona the following season, with no intention to race.
At least, not until he saw the Chrysler 300 fielded by Carl Kiekhaefer, who had made a fortunate selling boat motors and was just entering NASCAR. A friend at a Mercury Outboard dealer set up a meeting with Kiekhaefer, and soon Tim's helmet was on a plane to Daytona. Suddenly Flock was back in the game, driving the best cars of his day, and dominating the 1955 season to the tune of 18 victories, 32 top-fives in 38 starts, and his second championship. The next year Kiekhaefer would work similar magic with Buck Baker, adding another title before his short stint in NASCAR ended in a clash with series officials. But Flock was his breakthrough, the 1955 season providing a fitting second act to one of NASCAR's greatest early careers. And that one was no monkey business at all.

From the World Heritage inscription:
The Blaenavon landscape constitutes an exceptional illustration in material form of the social and economic structure of 19th-century industry. The area around the Blaenavon ironworks provides an extraordinarily comprehensive picture of the South Wales coal and iron industry in its heyday in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when it was one of the world's largest iron and steel producers. All the necessary elements can be seen in situ : coal and ore mines, quarries, a primitive railway system, furnaces, the homes of the workers, and the social infrastructure of their community.
From at least 1675, iron ore was extracted on the mountains of Blaenavon. However, the area was virtually unsettled and used only for small-scale iron mining and grazing. In 1788 Thomas Hill, Thomas Hopkins, and Benjamin Pratt built a major new ironworks at Blaenavon, putting into practice the latest technology and organization of the Industrial Revolution in a new and resource-rich setting. By 1789 the ironworks consisted of three blast furnaces using steam power, making it one of the largest in the world.
In 1817 adit mining for iron ore and coal developed on a larger scale, replacing surface scouring, and shaft mines were introduced, with sophisticated drainage, haulage, and ventilation arrangements. Population grew rapidly through the migration of workers from rural areas of Wales, from the industrial Midlands, Ireland, Scotland and rural England. Blaenavon parish, which had been minuscule before the ironworks was built, had grown to 11,452 in 1891. The social development of the area created a thriving urban culture. A rapidly created industrial landscape grew up of iron-ore patches, coal mines, limestone quarries, iron forges, brick works, tram roads, watercourses and workers' houses, all controlled by the Blaenavon Company, which was reorganized as a joint stock company in 1836.
During the 1840s and 1850s the scattered housing of the workers and the works' school, church and chapels were complemented by the evolution, on land outside the company's ownership, of a town with a variety of urban functions. There were three principal clusters of buildings in the area, one around the Ironworks, one along the east-west axis, now King Street, and one around St Peter's Church.
Relative decline in steelmaking from around the turn of the century permitted the growth of coal production for export. Steel production ceased in 1938, and Big Pit, the last substantial working colliery, closed in 1980. Big Pit is now a museum of coal mining of international significance, and one of only two mining museums in the United Kingdom where visitors can be taken underground. The conservation of Blaenavon Ironworks has contributed to economic regeneration. The town and the surrounding landscape have survived little altered to represent the story of their past.
One of my favorite type of world heritage sites to visit are industrial sites. Sites which preserve and commemorate advancement in industry from the 18th-20th centuries. One of the most important industrial heritage sites in the world is at Blaenavon.
In the 19th Century, southern Wales was the epicenter of the Industrial Revolution. Here you had the two building blocks of early industry: coal and iron.
Within the town on Blaenavon are two preserved facilities: The Blaenavon Ironworks and the Big Pit National Coal Museum.
The Ironworks started business in 1789 and is the world's best preserved 18th century ironworks. (The ironworks are seen in the photo at the top of the page.) The ironworks are also famous for being the first place where the Bessemer process was used to make steel. It was discovered by Sidney Gilchrist Thomas in Blaenavon and was the foundation for global steel production through the 1960's.
The Big Pit National Coal Museum is just a short trip up the road from the ironworks. It was a working coal mine through the 1980's and is one of the most popular museums in the UK. In addition to the surface buildings you can also take a tour underground and it is one of the only places in the UK which does underground tours.
However, the scope of the world heritage site goes beyond the industrial sites in the town of Blaenavon, it also includes many square miles of the surrounding countryside which was influenced by industrial development. This includes everything from iron and coal mines to centuries of medieval ore digs and ponds built during Roman times.
This might be the only world heritage site which preserves a sizable tract of land precisely because of human impact upon it.
Blaenavon can easily be visited by train from any major city in Great Britain. It is currently the only world heritage site in the UK which has a dedicated visitors center. It is also adjacent to the Brecons Beacons National Park, which should also be included to any trip to the region.

School board chooses two new principals
by Dennis Dalman
Sartell's two elementary schools will have new principals for the 2014-15 school year.
Last week, the Sartell-St. Stephen School Board selected Kristopher Lynk of Eden Prairie and Sara Nelson of Sartell to become the new principals. Lynk, is the current principal for Eden Lake Elementary School in Eden Prairie. He was chosen to replace Randy Husman at Oak Ridge Elementary School. Nelson, the principal at Madison Elementary School in St. Cloud, was selected as principal of Pine Meadow Elementary School to replace Greg Johnson.
Those are the latest of three major new hires by the Sartell-St. Stephen School District. In April, the board hired Jeff Schwiebert to become the new superintendent to replace Joe Hill, who resigned in 2013.
Johnson has taken a job as superintendent for the Albany School District. In 2013, Husman announced he has other plans and thus would no longer serve as principal for Oak Ridge Elementary School.
So far, there has been a verbal agreement from the two principals chosen by the board. Formal agreements are expected at the April 21 school-board meeting.
Lynk, whose nickname is "Kip," was hired in 2012 as principal at Eden Lake Elementary School, one of Eden Prairie's largest schools with about 900 students and 100 staff serving grades K-6. Before 2012, Lynk was principal for four years with the Bold Elementary School in Bird Island. He has also been a fourth-grade teacher at the Dassel-Cokato Middle School and a sixth-grade teacher at Lakeside Elementary School in the Glencoe-Silver Lake School District.
A graduate of Eden Prairie High School, Lynk earned a bachelor's degree in elementary education from the University of Minnesota; a master's degree from St. Mary's University (Twin Cities), a K-12 administrative licensure also from St. Mary's University; and a superintendent licensure from St. Cloud State University.
"I am thrilled to be joining the Oak Ridge team as part of Sartell-St. Stephen Public Schools during these exciting times for the district," Lynk said in a statement to the school board. "I look forward to joining another new principal and a new superintendent as we mesh our talents with the returning staff members from throughout the district. I did not have changing school districts on my radar this year but could not pass up the opportunity to apply with such a strong district in terms of student opportunities, community support and highly qualified staff members. As my family plotted out where in Central Minnesota we would like to be long term, the Sartell-St. Stephen area fit the bill perfectly. I am looking forward to meeting the students, families and staff in the near future."
Nelson, before serving as the Madison Elementary principal, was assistant principal for three years at Oak Hill Elementary in St. Cloud. She also has extensive experience in working with special education as a school social worker and a special-education supervisor. Nelson has worked with Title I and with implementation of the English Learner program and the Response to Intervention process to advance student achievement. She has also partnered with many area agencies to improve learner outcomes.
Madison Elementary serves grades K-5, with 750 students from many cultural backgrounds and with 15 languages spoken. The school is also home to the Guang Ming Academy of Chinese Immersion. Madison prides itself on celebrating the unique cultures and traditions of students and their families.
"I could not be more excited to be joining the Pine Meadow Elementary family," Nelson wrote in a statement to the school board. "Having lived in Sartell the past 11 years, and with three children in the Sartell-St. Stephen Schools, I know first hand the excellent teaching and learning that happens here everyday. I look forward to partnering with our district administrative team, PME staff, students, parents and community members to continue the great tradition of academic excellence found in Sartell-St. Stephen Schools."
Speaking on behalf of the Sartell-St. Stephen School Board, Mike Spanier, interim superintendent, said, "We had an excellent pool of candidates from which to choose. Kip Lynk and Sara Nelson will be excellent additions to the administrative team and our district."
Dennis Dalman
Dalman was born and raised in South St. Cloud, graduated from St. Cloud Tech High School, then graduated from St. Cloud State University with a degree in English (emphasis on American and British literature) and mass communications (emphasis on print journalism). He studied in London, England for a year (1980-81) where he concentrated on British literature, political science, the history of Great Britain and wrote a book-length study of the British writer V.S. Naipaul. Dalman has been a reporter and weekly columnist for more than 30 years and worked for 16 of those years for the Alexandria Echo Press.

Motorists may face EU toll hike
British motorists could face increased charges for using toll bridges and tunnels because of legal moves by the European Commission.
The Commission has taken the government to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg over its failure to apply VAT on road tolls.
The bridges involved in the case include the controversial Skye bridge - together with the Tay, Forth and Erskine crossings in Scotland, and the Humber and Severn bridges in England and Wales.
Tunnels include those under the Tyne and Mersey.
The European Commission wants to harmonise VAT so that all member states pay similar taxes.
The Department of Transport and the Scottish Executive argue that tolls should not be liable to VAT.
However, the Commission has a high success rate in cases of this type.
Rural impact
A spokesman for the the Automobile Association said it had the makings of another tax on the motorist, particularly in rural areas.
Drivers crossing the Skye bridge - who have to pay the highest tolls in Britain - would have to find an extra pound.
Coaches and lorries would have to pay about Ł5 more.
