That said, this race report IS fun and irreverent. If you want a post that speaks to my heartfelt thoughts on the tragedy, go to this one posted last week. But, if you're ready to look at pictures of me with no pants on the toliet and hear stories about drinking beer at 9:30am..... you're in the right place!
Time: 3:33:18 (Beat my horribly easy C goal!)
Pace: 8:09/mile
Place: 9,333 / ~23,000 (both official and unofficial)
AG Place: ?? Not sure on how many were in my AG because they're still sorting out official finishers.
If you look on my sidebar (while not on your phone), you'll see that I haven't ran many races on the east coast. Truth is, I don't know the proper pronunciation of Worcester, I **gasp** prefer starbucks to dunken donuts, and to me the "Jersey Shore" is a pink fruity drink at this sushi place I go to (Delicious!) - not where I go to get my fake tan on and do crunches to work on my "situation".
So, not only was my Boston Marathon trip going to be for the race, I wanted to make it a vacation too. So, I tried to take in as many sights as I could while still protecting my fragile post-stress fracture legs.
Other than more Irish pubs than I would like to admit (God bless the Irish Catholic influence), the place that sticks out the most is The Friendly Toast. It was on some show on the food network, so of course you know the food is going to be
After eating what I can only imagine to be about 3000 calories, Lesley and I walked from MIT over the the expo across some a bridge over some water. I'm sure both were famous. You can look them up. On the way there, I saw one of the iconic sites along the Boston marathon course. The Citgo sign!
This sign is at mile 25.2 of the course, signifying that you have 1 mile left. It's a fun landmark because you can see the sign from about mile 22 on. Staring at you. Reminding you that you have MORE than a mile left. I freaking hate that sign.
Once I thought that I had soaked in as many calories as Boston had to offer, it was off to the Expo. Now, I've ran other big city races.... Chicago, San Diego both have 35,000 or so runners. Even the Phoenix race has more than a few. But, I have to be honest that I completely underestimated the spectacle that was the Boston Marathon expo.
Sure, they had all of the crap that you are used to from any random Rock and Roll expo... The Lara bar people were there, Nuun had a booth, CEP Compression was there, Brooks shoes had a massive setup, and there were enough fanny pack / SPI belt manufacturers to store more iPods and running tampons than anyone would ever need. But, most interestingly, there were lots of DIFFERENT booths that I had never seen before... There was more than one coaching booth (McMillian had one), there were about 5 compression sock booths of various brands, etc etc. It was quite simply the most fun I've had an expo thus far.
Did I mention I spent like 3.5 hours there?
Ok, so maybe being on my feet that long wasn't THAT good of an idea, but I tried to make the most out of my time.
One of my most favorite things to do at Expos is rub elbows with fast runners. I'm honestly not sure WHY I like to do it. Most times I have conversations that go something like "oh, you like running? Cool. I like running too. You're faster than me. Cool. I have a blog. Can we take a picture?" Eloquent for sure. But, either way, on the Saturday before the race I bounced around to booth after booth meeting up with famous people.
Ok, so here is the deal with this next picture.... While I was waiting in line to meet Shalane and Kara, another runner flagged me down and told me that she reads my blog!! That honestly NEVER happens (you know, because...it's just a blog) so I was super surprised. Of course, I told her that we HAD to take a picture and I asked that she send it and tweet me. That was BEFORE the bombs.... and now twitter won't go back far enough so I can find her name. :( soooo I basically feel like a huge jerk right now.
I met lots of other good runners too. Meb Keflezighi was there as well as Kathrine Switzer the first female to run the Boston Marathon.
At some point before the race we went over to the finish line to see the freshly painted banner on Boylston street. I still get somewhat emotional thinking about this. In fact, from this first picture, I'm standing very near where the 1st bomb went off. ANYWAY, I had a bit of a "moment" with the finish line and told her that I'd see her in a few hours.
After my day bee-bopping at the expo (do the kids still say bee-bopping? Is that still hip?), my legs were fried. They were soooooo sore and tired. Other than compression socks and ice, the only thing that I could think to do was drink away the pain. So, that is what I did... with little fancy Port Wine glasses.
On day two of the expo (yes, day TWO) I mostly just wanted to meet up with twitter buddy Matt. Which, I did! It is always awesome to meet people face to face that I interact with online. Of course, the downside to that is that they find out that I really AM as boring as I promise I am. Sucks for you!
The three of us went to a Boston Marathon Legends seminar hosted by Runner's World. The seminar was just OK, but I got to meet the Editor in Chief of Runner's World: David Willey! As you can tell from the picture below, Dave sort of looks like Captain America. Let's just say that he dipped into the deep end of the "good looks gene pool".
So, I'm not sure if you heard, but the Boston Marathon isn't just a kick ass expo in a fun city. Turns out, you actually have to run. UGH.
It is a point to point course starting in a sleepy town 26 miles west of Boston. The course zigs and zags and honestly is not all that flat. The first 5 miles are downhill and miles 18-21 are uphill (the dreaded Newton hills...the third of which is Heartbreak Hill).
The thing that makes Boston unique is that the marathon start isn't until 10am - and it is on a Monday! I have to assume that the late start is mostly to accommodate the crazy long bus ride to the starting line from downtown Boston. Seriously, I'll bet it took nearly an hour to get there. The bad news is that I got really sweaty on the school bus. The worse news is that, like every other race, I didn't wear deodorant. BUT, the good news is that the time on the bus allowed the coffee to kick in. And, well.... here you go.
Since I was in the first waive of runners, I had a bit of time to kill at the "athletes village" (Boston likes to make you feel important so they give things special names) so I took a few pictures and met up with some other runners. It was a bit humbling to be sitting chatting with a few sub 2:40 marathoners as well as a few other sub 3:00 guys. Oh well, one of them
|I bought these, will replace when avil
The last month of running has been rough. Probably more rough than I have said on my blog. There was stress fracture pain, shin splints, and leg cramping that lasted days after I finished running. I hadn't ran more than 13 miles in over 3 months. So, just getting to the starting line of the race was a victory in itself. That said, I knew that I could run the first half at my old long run pace, so that is what I had planned to do. 7:30 pace for the first 13 miles.
Like I said before, the first 5 miles were all downhill. You basically lose 250 or so feet, which for a road guy like me is not insignificant. All of the books that you read have big bold letters saying "Don't go out too fast or else you will stop in your tracks at mile 20 and get trampled". So, I tried REALLY hard to stick to my pace and not go too fast. Since I started out in my normal 3:04 qualifying corral, this meant that I was passed. Weee doggies was I passed. I was running 7:30s, but was being treated a bit like one of those people walking at mile 10 of a marathon. "Keep it up buddy, looking good!" This essentially happened for 11 miles. BUT, I felt good and was running my race.
Miles 6-13 - Yay! More running! Well hello Wellesley College girls with "kiss me" signs....
|This was UP one of the hills. Blarg
The strategy for the second half of the race was always to
Oh, but miles 18-21. There were hills. Yes, there were hills... They weren't big hills. They weren't even all that long hills. But it sure would have been a lot nicer to hop on a moped and drive to the top of them. Where is THAT marathon?
The only thing that made the hills bearable was the mopeds crowd support. Not only at the hills of Newton, but literally along the ENTIRE course. With the exception of a few miles at the start, people lined the ENTIRE course. Starting at about mile 18, there were people 1 and 2 deep the entire way. It was amazing. The support that the city provides the race is completely outstanding. That said, the hills freaking sucked and I walked like 2/3 of them. :)
As you can tell by my splits in the picture above, the last 5 miles were a bit of a slog. The lack of training because of my stress fracture was REALLY showing. When your "slow" goal is 7:30 and you run a 10:00 mile, you're starting to drop some significant time. This is really when the crowds are a bit annoying. I just want to take a bit of a breather and no fewer than 30 people are telling me how awesome I am! Honestly I wouldn't want it any other way. Speaking of, at some point along the course (I think along these miles) we ran by Boston College. They were honestly much louder than the Wellesley girls. I'm not sure if it was because they had 2 hours more beer in them or what, but it was nice to do know that there were
I'm really trying to remember more about these miles. I know that there was screaming, lots of sweating, pain (on the bottoms of my feet - I think because of lack of miles), I was exhausted....
I can tell you that, in spite of my oxygen depleted memory haze, I will never forget making the left turn onto Boylston Street. The crowds were deafening, I got chills, the pain in my feet went away. I was finishing the Boston Marathon.
Tuesday after the race the city was still in a state of shock about the bombs. But, I was determined not to be afraid, so I continued seeing the city. (In hindsight, since the jackasses that did it were still roaming the streets, probably not the best idea.) Anyway, Tuesday had one thing and one thing on the agenda: start drinking beer at 9:30am. By that, I of course mean the Sam Adams brewery tour!
One of the coolest things that the brewery has done the last few years is brew a "26.2 Boston Brew". Of course, it was delicious. PLUS, because I brought my marathon bib, I also got a free pint glass! Score!
In all honesty, I did do a few touristy things while out and about the day after the race. It was somewhat scary because there were AK-47 swat dudes on a lot of the corners, but I suppose that just means that we were extra safe. Either way, I didn't let that spoil walking the freedom trail for what seemed like 20 miles and snapping a few pictures of buildings that were older than I can comprehend.
Two days after the race (Wednesday), everyone that I had met up with had gone home so I was left to wonder the city. So, when left to my own devices, I had to options: Go back to Sam Adams and drink more beer.... or catch up on work. So I played hipster for a bit and hung out in a coffee shop. There wasn't any poetry or smoking, but I did "snap" when people said anything I felt was cool.
that day I did a lot of wondering around downtown near the bomb site. I got as close as I could and paid my respects of sorts and did a lot of inward thinking. Happy to be safe, sad for those who were not, but thankful that I had so many fond memories to squish out the bad.

Résoudre ou atténuer le problème en cas de crise ?
Crisis communication theories compared most of the time the efficiency of extreme strategies aiming at solve the issue: deny or apology strategies. However, others middle strategies aiming at soften the crisis have been identified. This communication deals with the compared impact of both of them: an evasion of responsibility strategy (provocation) and a reducing offensiveness strategy (bolstering). The evasion of responsibility is the only one strategy able to challenge deny, and only as far as it may concerns the boycott intent.

In its panting and perverse charge to find an issue to ignite Black enthusiasm to vote for Barack Obama, the Left has run through a dark alley with a blindfold on. Predictably, they have stepped on nails and smashed their face against some sharp objects.
When they heard the name "George Zimmerman" of Florida, the Left immediately thought they had an eighty year old retired Jewish Democrat accountant originally from Queens, New York. They thought maybe George Zimmerman was a runaway from the Democrat's Jewish plantation (Bob Dylan's real name is Zimmerman after all) who had gone NRA gun-toting Republican TEA partier on them. They were wrong. George Zimmerman is a 28 year-old self identified brown skinned Hispanic Democrat who they wish was an NRA member. He tutors black children in his home and is not a TEA partier.
They looked at the picture of Trayvon Martin and fooled themselves into believing he was an angelic youth headed for Harvard someday. Instead, they got a budding thug who had a series of scrapes with authorities that included possession of burglary tools and drug possession.
Advertisement - story continues below
They thought they could find evidence that Zimmerman was on top of Martin punching him and calling him the "N" word. Instead, they have an eyewitness backing up Zimmerman's claim of self defense, and the "N" charge is just a dream.
They thought his neighbors would tell reporters Zimmerman hated blacks. Instead, they have a black character witness for Zimmerman and his black friends and family.
TRENDING: Joe Biden Says the Man Who Shot the Texas Church Shooter Shouldn't Have Had an AR-15
They thought they would have a white police chief who would kiss their feet to keep peace – and his job. They lost that on day two. They now have a black chief, so that angle is gone.
They thought they would have two justifiably shell-shocked parents who would do whatever they were told. Instead, they got a pair of opportunists who have even less shame than would-be Puppet Masters Sharpton and Jackson. They have copyrighted their son's name and quit their jobs to promote the sale of "Trayvon" merchandise.
Advertisement - story continues below
They thought they could bring in the Black Panthers to scare white people, then go away. Instead, they got the Panthers putting a bounty on Zimmerman and threatening to burn down Detroit.
They thought Zimmerman would be living in a "Lilly White" gated fortress that screamed "minorities keep out." Instead, they got a community that is more than half "minority."
They thought they could get black celebrities to jump in and add strength and lust to their circus of lies. Instead, they got a dimwitted Spike Lee tweeting a wrong address for the lynch mob to descend upon, and Lee is now on his way to a nasty losing lawsuit.
They thought they could get a bunch of black high school kids to peacefully march and protest what had happened to "Brother Trayvon." What they got was a pack of wilding animals who ransacked a Walgreens after their march.

Now they are all so eager to wear hoodies to show that they are "down for the struggle." Do you want to bet the hoodies end up being made in non-union sweatshops in some third world country?

January 27, 2009
NEW YORK (RNS) -- As a young woman, Sara Politzer survived the Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps. Now, the frail octogenarian is struggling to survive bad health, little money and living alone in New York City.
"It's tough to be old," she said, in her thick Hungarian accent. "I was much stronger before, and I really didn't need anybody, but the last few years, I went down in my health."
Politzer, 82, is among the estimated 138,300 Holocaust survivors left in the United States, second only to Israel's remaining 244,000, according to the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, which administers government and industry restitution payments to Holocaust victims.
Although this dwindling population decreases each year, health and social welfare needs for this elderly group have jumped, prompting the Claims Conference to allocate an additional $18 million to service providers worldwide this year.
The increase came as a relief to hundreds of Jewish agencies that have been hit hard by the economic downturn, especially as they prepare to observe the United Nations-designated Annual International Day of Commemoration to honor the victims of the Holocaust on Jan. 27.
"In these times of severe crisis for Jewish philanthropy, the increase in Claims Conference funds for social services is even more essential to the well-being of elderly Nazi victims," said Julius Berman, conference chairman.
"We are committed to addressing their growing needs as they age and to easing their lives, as much as possible, in their last years."
The Claims Conference, found in 1951, will distribute a total of $168 million to programs in 43 countries this year, including $25 million to the United States, up from $23.3 million last year.
Now that most Holocaust survivors are over the age of 75, the money predominantly pays for medical assistance, food programs, transportation, emergency cash grants, winter heating assistance and socialization programs.
"The numbers of survivors are decreasing, but those who are remaining are all getting older and sicker, and as they age, their needs become greater," said Hillary Kessler-Godin, a Claims Conference spokeswoman.
Part of Politzer's help comes from the New York-based Selfhelp Community Services agency, which assists more than 5,500 Holocaust survivors and helps coordinate Politzer's medical care, bills, housekeeping and in-home nursing care.
Elihu Kover, a Selfhelp spokesman, said Politzer's case, unfortunately, is not unique.
"We have three times the number of clients that we had 10 years ago," he said. "The pool of survivors is getting smaller, but the percentage of them who need help is getting bigger. It's a paradox. And with the economy, food costs more, fuel costs more, and some of their children, who they were relying on, are losing jobs."
Selfhelp received $4.6 million from the Claims Conference this year, up $560,000 from last year. The increase means that Selfhelp can reach out to more of the estimated 40,000 Holocaust survivors in the New York region, the largest concentration in America, Kover said.
Politzer's failing health, which she partly attributes to her World War II experiences, has included two hip replacements and a recent hospitalization for breathing problems. Lately, she has had severe pain in her right arm and shoulder, which she suspects comes from the 30 years she spent working long hours as a seamstress.
"Every day, I suffer so much, I cannot tell you what I go through," she said.
Most of the restitution funds allocated for programs this year come from the Claims Conference Successor Organization, which recovers proceeds from unclaimed Jewish property in the former East Germany. The increase also came from a doubling of the annual grant from Germany to Nazi victims worldwide who require in-home services -- from $20 million to $40 million, Kessler-Godin said.
The Claims Conference will again grant $30,000 to Bet Tzedek Legal Services, a Los Angeles-based agency whose clients include about 2,000 Holocaust survivors seeking pro bono assistance with landlord-tenant disputes, access to health care, government benefit entitlements and restitution issues.
The organization also assists elderly clients who did not experience the Holocaust. But Wendy Levine, a spokeswoman for Bet Tzedek, said survivors tend to need more free legal aid. Jewish organizations estimate that a quarter of America's remaining Holocaust survivors live below the federal poverty line, she said, compared to 10 percent of all Americans over the age of 65, according to the most recent U.S. Census estimate.
"Survivors came over without a support network, often suffering from post-traumatic stress, with language barriers," she explained. "Some were able to create really wonderful lives for themselves here, but others are living without the basic necessities of life. In any given month, they may need to decide between food and medicine and rent."
In Politzer's case, her grown son, who lives nearby, and Selfhelp's services have served as her safety net. But, as her health and the economy seem to simultaneously worsen, she hopes the Claims Conference and local Jewish agencies continue finding the means to support her and the other Holocaust survivors in their final years.
"I'm very short of money," she admitted. "I need a little help -- not a big help, but every little bit will help."

Here's a little windfall for Massachusetts. After a week of embarrassment over his maneuvering to avoid paying taxes on his yacht, Senator Kerry has agreed to pay the taxes that he would have had to pay if he'd been docking his yacht in Massachusetts instead of Rhode Island. So the state is going to get a half a million dollars.
Now if other states can find out ways that their local politicians are avoiding any taxes, they can embarrass them and get a bit of a bonus in these days of sparse revenues. Though we can't count on other politicians to both as rich, arrogant, and hypocritical as John Kerry.

When you've got multimillions - OOPS!, your wife's got multimillions - I guess it's easy to avoid a possible premature end to your political career. Kerry's opponents would never have allowed this to sink, and he may have gone down with the yacht. Even in Taxachusetts.
Take a page from Obamarama's book, Mr. Heinz: blame it on the Swifties.

14 Dogs Celebrating the Majesty of Autumn
Put on your finest cardigan and start chugging pumpkin spice-flavored things like it's a seasonal drink that won't be around all year -- autumn is coming, and these dogs are excited about it.
Put on your finest cardigan and start chugging pumpkin spice-flavored things like it's a seasonal drink that won't be around all year -- autumn is coming, and these dogs are excited about it.
Sarah Silverman leaves the funny business behind with a touching tribute to her dog.
It's not always cats and dogs that fight like cats and dogs.
In this video taken in Australian, a kangaroo and a dog go at it, with more jawing than actual action.
The Internet, as you probably know, has a soft spot for cats. But mirrors, it appears, do not.
Hopefully you're enjoying your day off. You know who's not? These animals! They're busy putting the "cat" in business cat-sual. Sure, a tie might be closer to standard business attire, but we're pretty sure the lack of pants keeps it totally casual.
Cute alert! Cats on the tracks!
It's no secret that we loves cats, and once we started thinking about it, Disney is maybe responsible for some of the best cats of all time. Cinderella's jerk of a cat is pretty much the original Grumpy Cat. And who could say anything bad about the Chesire cat (other than that he was a tad obtuse)?
Stop wasting all your time making hand-sewn costumes for your hamster. Do this instead. You'll save time, and it appears that there's a chance a hamster will even enjoy this, unlike that tiny train conductor uniform you spend 46 hours on.
Sometimes we've just gotta chill out, dude. You know-- slow down, take one thing at a time and relax. Of course this is easier said than done for most of us, but luckily we have our sloth friends to look toward for example.
Kellar is definitely not your average dog. The three-year-old English springer was born blind, but that has not deterred him from playing fetch.

Airfarewatchdog has compiled a list of top thrilling airport landings, takeoffs and approaches in the world which are able to make passenger's heart race. Let's check out five scariest airports landings in the world.
Toncontín International Airport – Tegucigalpa, Honduras
The Toncontín Airport in Honduras has always considered as the airport for the most difficult landing approach for aviators. The civil and military Toncontín International Airport is located near the center of Tegucigalpa in the mountainous terrain. Due to the unusual mountainous location and an extremely short single Asphalt runway of merely 6,112 feet in length, the landings here become the fear for any large commercial airliner.

Gustaf III Airport – St. Jean, St. Barthélemy
Gustaf III Airport has all three thrilling things for airport landing including small size, short runways, and terrain. The 2,100-foot runway stretches from a hilltop traffic circle and ends at St. Jean Beach with clear Blue Ocean. Especially, the end of runway always attracts people to sunbathe.
Gustaf III Airport – St. Jean, St. Barthélemy
Landing at St. Barts Airport
Courchevel Airport – Courchevel, France
Courchevel Airport is one of the most dangerous airports in the world. The airport is situated at an altitude of 6,588 feet in the French Alps while the runway is a short 1,722 feet.

Princess Juliana International Airport – Philipsburg, St. Maarten
Princess Juliana International Airport, the busiest airports in the Caribbean, provides pilots with only 7,000 feet of running room to land and exceptionally low approach. The planes often travel just above visitors and sunbathers before landing.

EducationGraduate of Colgate University with a degree in Biology and Sociology
ExperienceI used to tutor high school students in science subjects. In addition, I was a quantitative methods tutor at Colgate, and I helped many students navigate various statistical software programs. I also performed very well on college required exams (SAT, ACT). I may want to become a professor later on, and I feel that tutoring is a good way to get a handle on teaching students, and helping students learn has always been something I have enjoyed. Because I attended a great liberal arts college, I am well-versed in many subjects, and therefore I would be able to assist students with a wide range of topics.
HobbiesI am very interested in academics like social sciences, biology and psychology. I also love music and being active.
Preferred Subjects
English, writing, biology, sociology, social sciences, Computer Skills, Statistics

The Pluck of the Irish Returns
Monday, September 25, 2006
Through 15 games as Notre Dame's coach, both Tyrone Willingham and Charlie Weis had the same 11-4 record and had just been beaten soundly by Michigan. Both encountered Michigan State in their 16th game, but that's where the similarities end.
Willingham's team lost and questions concerning his job security followed within weeks. By contrast, Weis's Fighting Irish authored a season-saving comeback Saturday night that promises to linger in memories for years to come.
"I think the players were starting to realize at halftime that the season was falling into their hands," Weis said after the 17-point rally. "After the game they played last week, and then we are down big at halftime, it was like, 'Well, fellas, what's it going to be?' "
The 40-37 victory put Notre Dame in position to play in a BCS game for the second consecutive season and kept the Fighting Irish's slim national title hopes alive. While it was not reminiscent of the 1966 "Game of the Century" between the schools, Saturday night also provided glimpses of vintage characteristics of both programs.
For Notre Dame, it was another fourth-quarter rally by a future NFL quarterback. Brady Quinn orchestrated the largest fourth-quarter comeback (16 points) since Joe Montana engineered a 22-point comeback in the 1979 Cotton Bowl. For Michigan State, it was further evidence of a program that has the capacity to wow fans one half and quickly deflate them the next.
The Spartans led 31-14 with the wind howling and the rain making it difficult for Quinn to secure the ball. But Michigan State's offense became conservative late, and Coach John L. Smith acknowledged that his offense probably should have continued to throw, especially after the rain subsided. But tentativeness was apparent in other places as well.
After Notre Dame closed to within four points, Michigan State's Demond Williams caught the kickoff at his 6 yard line, only to run to the 12 and take a knee. Three plays later, Notre Dame cornerback Terrail Lambert intercepted Drew Stanton's pass and raced 27 yards to the end zone for the game-winning score.
"I thought maybe a big play in the game was when their kickoff guy declared himself down at the 10- or 11-yard line," Weis said. "Really, that gave us a chance to pin them back there, and we ended up getting the turnover to take the lead."
It's too early to determine whether Saturday was a turning point for Notre Dame, which has looked strong in only one of its four games, a blowout victory against Penn State.
The defense was expected to be vulnerable with nine starters back from the group that allowed 617 yards to Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl. But other issues, including penalties and turnovers, are perplexing Notre Dame faithful more.
With a veteran offensive line and an experienced running back in Darius Walker, Notre Dame ranks 108th in rushing. And although he finished brilliantly Saturday night, magazine cover boy Quinn has four interceptions and a fumble the past two weeks against the Michigan schools.
As unpredictable as Notre Dame has performed from game to game, or even from half to half, little suggests it will be in danger of losing again until a Nov. 25 matchup at Southern California. Over the next seven games, Notre Dame will play three service academies, a winless Stanford team and an undefeated Purdue team that has only beaten one school (Minnesota) from a BCS conference.
The other two opponents: UCLA (2-1) and North Carolina (1-3). What's more, the Fighting Irish only play one true road game, at Air Force, before USC.
"As low as they were last week at this time, that's how high they are right now," Weis said of his players. "We have to make sure we don't get on an emotional roller coaster. . . . Right now, it's a pretty high high."
Undefeated, but Hurting
Of the 19 remaining undefeated schools, Wake Forest (4-0) perhaps is the most surprising because the Demon Deacons continue to win despite losing key offensive players to injury.
First it was starting quarterback Ben Mauk who was lost for the season in the opener against Syracuse with a broken right arm and dislocated right shoulder.
Then tailback Micah Andrews, the team's leader in rushing and all-purpose yards, was sidelined after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in the Sept. 16 victory against Connecticut. In the same game starting left tackle Arby Jones tore a medial collateral ligament, which could keep him out six weeks.
Despite the losses, Wake Forest has established itself as the best Division I-A program in North Carolina. The other four I-A schools, North Carolina State, North Carolina, East Carolina and Duke, have a combined record of 4-11. . . .
Off to its first 4-0 start in more than two decades, Rutgers has reached another milestone: its first national top 25 ranking since 1976. The Scarlet Knights entered this week's poll at No. 23.

What is Balloon Valvuplasty?
Balloon valvuloplasty is a minimally invasive procedure in which a narrowed heart valve is stretched open using a catheter with an inflatable balloon at its tip.
The catheter is inserted through the groin artery and is slowly guided by the physician until it reaches the heart valve. The balloon is then inflated, enlarging the valve opening.
What conditions are treated with Balloon Valvuplasty?
Balloon Valvuplasty may be used to treat valve stenosis (narrowing of the heart valves) in children and adults.
The procedure's puspose is to improve valve function and blood flow.
In children, this procedure is usually considered for pulmonary valves stenosis.
With adults it may be used for mitral valve stenosis, however because the stenosis frequently re-occurs in adult patients with valvular diseases, the it is recommended only as an emergency rescue for patients who are not candidates for valve replacement.
Who usually performs the Balloon Valvuplasty?
An interventional cardiologist, a vasular surgeon or an interventional radiologist.
Is it painfull?
When the balloon is inflated, you may feel pain. The pain is usually temporary, but you should always inform your physician about any pain.

March 17th, 2009, 03:24 PM #1Good experience w/NYC hotel via Priceline
I thought I would mention this hotel because it is near the Hilton where many affiliate related trade shows occur [i.e. Adtech, Search Engine Expo etc.]:
Novotel New York226 West 52Nd Street
New York, NY 10019
[Location is at the corner of Broadway and the other Ave would be 8th]
I went there this past weekend and stayed Saturday and Sunday nights in the hotel.
I decided to spend the weekend in NYC and decided to give Priceline.com's "specify your own price feature" a whirl. I requested at least a 3 Star hotel in Midtown Manhattan either East or West with the offer of $135 per night for 2 nights. I can't always guarantee that price, I arranged it through Priceline.com.
I had a great room with a fabulous view of Times Square.
Their restaurant had excellent food at reasonably competitive prices for Manhattan.
I would recommend this hotel. I had a great stay and I was walking distance to the museums I enjoy in NYC.

Thats Great I staying at that exact hotel in a few weeks for my first trip ever to NYC !!!! Any suggestion for things to do and places to eat?? NYC has always been a trip on my list of places to go.
March 17th, 2009, 10:24 PM #3Originally Posted by kse
I'm somewhat of a native New Yorker; I live North of NYC in the City of White Plains & I can get an express Metro North train and be in NYC in half an hour.
You will love that hotel; I was very pleased. The food in their Cafe Nicole is very good and there is a great view of Times Square. The hotel itself is adjacent to the famous restaurant Gallagher's Steakhouse
[I think it's expensive, but it depends on your budget and it is a famous restaurant although I have not eaten at Gallagher's Steakhouse]
My favorite restaurant in NYC is "Dallas BBQs" and check out their website:
This is a restaurant where the food is consistently good and very affordable. One tip: if you order bar-b-qued chicken, order the original rotisseried chicken and double the white meat for the best cut of meat. Don't order the honey or bar-b-qued basted because they'll glop on the sauce.
The menu is very good & consistent.
The Texas sized frozen drinks are great and watch out if you get a drink with an extra shot.
Dallas BBQs is a very fun & affordable restaurant in NYC at a bunch of different locations throughout NYC.
If you go to West 42nd between 7th & 8th you will be close to 2 big movie theaters showing the latest movies.
You might have fun at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum
You are very close to The Museum of Modern Art
You are walking distance to Central Park & there's a lot of free & beautiful things to see
I have an "Internet Membership" to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and I walked from the hotel, crossed over to 5th Ave and walked along the edge of the Park on 5th to the Met http://www.metmuseum.org/
[It's on 82nd -- I am a good walker]
If you walk along that way, you will pass the building of The Frick Collection which is exceptionally beautiful & worth a visit http://www.frick.org/information/index.htm
There's lots of shopping in NYC all over NYC -- it depends on what you are shopping for and what you would like to experience.
If you have time I suggest that you take the 1 or the 9 subway train (if you are on the West side -- if you are on the East side take the 6 local) to Fulton Street
and you will be very close to the Century 21 Department Store
There's lots of designer clothes at a discount there
Are you going alone or with someone? What type of activities are you interested in?
When I stayed at the hotel I walked to 8th Ave & 54th there is a grocery store -- it is a good place to go for bottled water & snacks. I drank the tap water at the hotel but I also like a bottle of water handy.
[Your room will have a convenient but expensive mini bar full of items]
Walk over to the Avenue of Americas or 5th & stick to those areas -- those Avenues (especially 5th) are fun too. There are many elegant shops on 5th & Madison.
Feel free to walk around the Times Square area during the daylight hours. Walk with a buddy at night.
There will be a desk at the hotel with free tourist information & brochures.
Rockefeller Center would be an easy walk from the hotel
The hotel would be a fantastic spot to watch the Ball drop on New Year's Eve -- I had a perfect view of that apparatus on the 29th floor -- the view was spectacular.
I'm sure the rates are more expensive around New Year's.
The hotel is in the middle of the theatre district, so if you are going to a show, that's a great place.
You are also walking distance to Carnegie Hall

The hotel is walking distance to Central Park; there are many free sites to enjoy there.
One of my favorite places to visit there is Belvedere Castle
For $2 the Central Park Carousel is a bargain especially if you have kids
There are many attractions at Central Park and it's relatively safe during the daylight hours and/or when there's lot of other people there.

Hi Rhia,

Both my wife and I are going (5 days with out the kids they are 6 & 11 I am sure they will enjoy their time with nana) I plan on alot of site seeing and my wife wants to do a 6 hour shopping trip??? We hope to do some Broadway Show(s) and eating at a different resterant every meal.

Times Square is good for shopping for souvenirs for your kids such as t-shirts & sweatshirts that say "I LOVE NY" there are also a lot of street vendors who sell souvenir items & fake designer pocketbooks.
If you plan to spend some time in NYC I suggest you buy a Zagat Guide to Restaurants.
The hotel's restaurant is very good.
If your wife wants to seriously shop, walk to 5th Ave.
You will be very close to Bergdorf Goodman; even if you don't actually shop or buy anything there you'll enjoy looking at the shop window displays
Fifth avenue is full of very elegant (and expensive) shops/stores. If you are looking for service, go to one of the full price stores.
If you are looking for deals on designer merchandise, check out Century 21 (take the subway to Fulton Street). Century 21 is not known for their service but you can get great deals from that store.
Another place to shop for deals on good quality merchandise is Syms
You would be closest to 400 Park Ave.
New York NY 10022
[54th & Park]
There's also Macy's & Bloomingdales for shopping in general

'Am I my brother's keeper?" (Gen. 4:9). "And Moses said unto the children of Gad
and the children of Reuben: 'Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit
here?'" (Numbers 32:6). These should have been the besetting questions for
American- Jewish intellectuals during Hitler's twelve-year war against European
Jewry; but generally they were not.They should be the pressing ones for
the learned classes of Diaspora Jewry today, as the international noose grows
ever tighter about Israel's throat; but they are not.

|Property type
Casa Colmeia is situated in the village of Benaciate which lies just off the N124 between Silves and Messines. The village has 3 bars and a mini-market. More bars, restaurants and supermarkets can be found in Silves which is 15 minutes by car. Silves also has a good amount of shops and boasts a 12th century castle and cathedral. All coastal resorts and beaches can be reached by car in under 30 minutes. For golfers the villa is very close to three courses and the rest are within 30 minutes drive. Benaciate is a typical Portuguese farming community. The people are very friendly but do not speak English. However, many of the residents speak French and there is quite a large ex-pat community who are always available to translate, offer advice, etc. Discount for 2 guests and also for all bookings confirmed before end of March 2017.
We are a married couple and live on the Wirral.
We are still working but try to spend as much time in Portugal as possible because we have friends who also have properties there. We love the country and the friendliness of the Portuguese people.
Barbara and Jeff Kozer purchased this villa in 2009
After spending around 15 years renting properties abroad we decided to build our own.
Since we are not yet able to spend extensive periods in Portugal we decided we would rent and let other people experience the wonderful lifestyle and excellent facilities we have to offer.
We chose Portugal because of the friendliness of the people and the peaceful, laid back lifestyle.
The villa is situated in a quiet village but within easy access to two large towns, the coast (30 mins), the beach (30 mins) and golf (20mins).
The villa is within walking distance to the centre of the village (2 mins) where there is a mini-market and 3 bars.
More extensive facilities (supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants) can be found 15 minutes away in Silves.
The coastal towns, beaches and golf are within 30 minutes drive.
The villa has its own private pool, air conditioning and two sunbathing terraces.
We had a great time at Casa Colmeia. The villa is beautifully furnished, well-equipped and has a lovely pool. RC, Berkshire.
Perfect. A home-from-home with everything a family needs. Exceptionally fitted and very peaceful. Less than one hour from airport and close enough to all local resorts, beaches, historical sites, towns, shopping, dolphin watching, etc. Information received from owners both prior and during our stay was excellent. Many thanks to Barbara and Jeff for a wonderful and relaxing holiday. Regards David, DeAnne, Hannah and Ellie.
Coast and nearest beach (Gale) 20 minutes drive.
Selection of beaches within 30 minutes.
Faro airport 40 minutes drive. Car hire essential.
Silves 15 minutes.
Messines 15 minutes.
Lagos (capital) 40 minutes.
Villamoura 35 minutes.
Further Details:
Village has 3 basic bars and a mini market but a better selection of bars, restaurants and supermarkets can be found in Silves.
We had a lovely family holiday here. The drive way has enough space for 2 cars and plenty of space around the villa for relaxing. The pool was really nice and we used the outside BBQ on several occasions as it cooked everything perfect! The villa had all amenities (except dishwasher) required and more! The welcome pack was much appreciated after a long day travelling and consisted of the usual items bread, butter, cheese, wine, water, tea, coffee, sugar, cleaning items ect which I thought was lovely as you normally have to pay extra for this! It really felt like a home from home! The village itself is very quiet and consists of local farmers only. The drive to the nearest big town of silves took us around 25 mins so car hire is essential! There was a bar in the village but we never ventured there. The mini market ect was not open during our stay. The farmer who tops up the water tank and pool is really friendly even though he doesn't speak English so he may pop in unexpected so don't be alarmed. There was meant to be a maid who comes every day but she only came once whilst we were there, again she is really friendly. I am always worried about booking these places as you hear lots of stories about being conned but due to Barbara replying quickly and friendly to every message I sent I was soon put at ease. I would most definitely recommend this villa and I wouldn't hesitate to come back again! If your looking for a quiet secluded villa in the mountains then this is perfect!
Following a very stressful week, prior to arrival, following the near death of a close friend and a 5hr delay at Birmingham, due to system failure., the welcome pack on arrival was much appreciated. This villa could not have been more perfect, from the quiet location to the fluffy towels and smooth sheets, to the fully utensiled kitchen, everything was catered for, I cannot fault the accommodation, which although very rural, felt very safe, well maintained, clean and superbly appointed. We even had a maid service visit half way through the week.
Spacious, quiet, modern, wifi, English TV, convenient to get to the coast, supermarket, tourist attractions and the airport, I cannot recommend this villa enough. Everyone was happy, would love to stay another week. Thank you.
Casa Colmeia in Benaciate was perfect for a family holiday. There were 5 of us (all adults) from 3 generations of the same family and the house was ideal.
October weather in the area was beautiful, and the facilities for dining outside by the pool were used every morning and evening. The furnishings and decoration were high quality and tasteful, and the peace was much appreciated. We all have different tastes and our "shopping list" is: a pool, within walking distance of some cafes, bars, shops etc, quiet location, close to interesting places for day trips, enough space for privacy and not too many levels as the eldest member of the party is in their 80s. Every item was covered, and exceeded.
Barbara also must be mentioned for her excellent contact before and after our trip, she made us feel very welcome. Extremely highly recommended property in an interesting and convenient location.
PS - a special word must be given about the benefits of stargazing from the upstairs terrace - breathtaking!
We followed the clear directions provided and easily found this lovely villa in its peaceful village location. The villa is beautifully provided with everything thought of from a super welcome pack, and cupboard resources, to comfy beds, fluffy towels and pool side cushions!
The villa is rural and peaceful for relaxing and chilling completely,staying by the pool or visiting the local bar where our lack of language skills was not a problem. It is also very easy to get Silves for shopping, restaurants etc. and to visit Alte, Loule and all the other lovely towns it's just a short drive away.
We wanted a holiday where we had a chance to be part of the local culture, to chill out and to visit the places we love and we certainly managed all on our wish list.
Our days were a mixture of relaxing and sightseeing and walking, our nights were cosy watching tv or video, or sitting by the pool or BBQ in candle and moonlight.
A lovely spacious villa, well suited for just 2 or up to 6 comfortably in a lovely spot. I would really recommend this holiday home to anyone, We very much hope to return soon
This is a short thank you review to Barbara and Jeff Kozer for allowing us to use their beautiful villa. We stayed for ten days at the beginning of September and could not have had a more relaxed holiday. The villa itself is in a really quiet little village, with a small caf?, bar, mini-market, but it's very central for those daily outings to Silves etc. The weather was perfect, around 30c to 35c each day, so the icing on the cake was the beautiful pool. All in all this was a perfect holiday in a beautiful villa, with everything you could wish for. 10 out of 10.

Uganda's headline inflation rate fell sharply in the year to November as a rise in food prices slowed, the Uganda Bureau of Statistics said on Friday.
Consumer prices fell 0.7 per cent during November, helping to hold the year-on-year inflation rate to 6.8 percent, down from 8.1 per cent a month earlier. Core inflation, which excludes both food and fuel costs, fell to 7.0 per cent from 7.2 per cent in October.
"The annual food inflation rate for the year ending November decreased to 8.1 per cent compared to the 10.9 per cent recorded during the year ended October," the statistics office said in a statement.
"The decline in food inflation was driven by a reduction in prices of matooke (plantains), Irish potatoes, cassava, sweet bananas, oranges, tangerines, cabbages, tomatoes…. this is attributed to increased supplies of these items on the market."
Food prices eased 2.3 per cent during the month. Food carries a 27.2 per cent weighting in the consumer price index.
Uganda's central bank said last month that core inflation was expected to stay at 6.5-7.5 per cent in the next 12 months before falling towards the bank's medium-term target of five per cent in 2015.

…THEN this would have been the place.
Henry Flagler was a reader; in fact that was how he'd accomplished much of what he had with scarcely a grade school education. Among many other things, he'd redefined the existing structure of corporate business entities, drafted up contracts on the most complex of subjects so ingenious, thorough, and impressive that the contracting party wouldn't even realize they'd been cut until the arterial spray began, and so forth. His business partner of many years at Standard Oil, John D. Rockefeller, spoke of Flagler as "the brains of the operation." And, as did many others, he described Flagler's particular and formidable genius as "organization." From similar observations made by others, and from context, I suspect he meant not the "untangle a hopeless mess" kind of gift for organization, but something closer to "Let's consider our present goals, reduce all relevant systems to their bare component parts, and consider how we might put them all back together to serve our purposes."
So yes, Flagler had a personal library he valued immensely, and found books indispensable. He always generously donated land for churches, because that tended to build community, and tended to keep a frontier populace from getting riled up, all the time. But libraries, not so much.
When it came to that subject, he was no Carnegie.
Thus, this building, titled in its caption "Flagler Memorial Public Library, Miami, Florida."
See you there!
Thank you.

Penguin Christmas Classics Review and Giveaway
Give the gift of literature this Christmas.
Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the ages. The five volumes in the series are not only our most beloved Christmas tales, they also have given us much of what we love about the holiday itself. A Christmas Carol revived in Victorian England such Christmas hallmarks as the Christmas tree, holiday cards, and caroling. The Yuletide yarns of Anthony Trollope popularized throughout the British Empire and around the world the trappings of Christmas in London. The holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott shaped the ideal of an American Christmas. The Night Before Christmas brought forth some of our earliest Christmas traditions as passed down through folk tales. And The Nutcracker inspired the most famous ballet in history, one seen by millions in the twilight of every year.
Collectible hardcover editions of five beloved Christmas books, beautifully designed—with foil-stamped jackets, decorative end papers, and nameplates for personalization—and printed in a small trim size that makes them perfect stocking stuffers.
I received this set of 5 Christmas Classics from Penguin at no cost in exchange for an honest review
It seems like everything is going digital now. I was so excited to get these beautiful hardcover Christmas Classics from Penguin! These are classic holiday stories that I love, and I love sharing these with my boys! They love the stories, and I love the cuddle time I get when we sit down and read together. The artwork on the dust jackets is beautiful. I love the small size of these books also. They are easy for even little hands to hold comfortably, and they can go with us in my purse if we going to doctors, or somewhere else where we might have to wait. These will be part of our holiday traditions for years to come now!
Win this 5 book set!
I love A christmas carol.
' Twas the night before Christmas

EXCLUSIVE: SAS was just 48 hours away from rescuing David Haines
THE SAS was just 48 hours away from rescuing the British aid worker beheaded by Islamist fanatics.
Defence sources have revealed that the elite unit received intelligence indicating where David Haines was being held but was unable to pinpoint his exact location.
It is believed the Scottish dad-of-two was in a Syrian town under the control of the terrorist group Islamic State.
But the British intelligence experts believe the kidnappers moved him almost every day to prevent a rescue.
A source said: "We were getting close to confirming his location – a few more days and maybe we could have got him."
The Daily Star Sunday can reveal that as western intelligence agencies raced against time to find Mr Haines, an SAS team was placed on immediate standby to fly into the war-torn country at short notice.
The 30-strong squad were hand-picked members of the SAS's counter-terrorist force and were experts in hostage rescue.
They had been briefed on several different attack options and would be flown into Syria in US covert helicopters, similar to the ones used in the mission to kill Osama bin Laden.
It is now believed that Mr Haines' kidnappers increased their security following a failed attempt by US special forces to rescue American hostages.
Intelligence chiefs had hoped that they would be able to pinpoint Mr Haines' whereabouts.
But the kidnappers went "off the grid" a few days before his execution.
One intelligence source said: "The US National Security Agency and Britain's GCHQ were focusing all of their efforts on the terrorists.
"They were able to provide some great intelligence, the view is that they were 48 hours from being able to fix the location.
"The SAS had a team from its counter-terrorist force on standby waiting to go.
The will and the political support were there but the intelligence was just not accurate enough".
The source added it would have been a suicide mission to fly into an enemy occupied town and conduct a house-to-house search.
Mr Haines, 44, a former RAF engineer, was kidnapped on March 12 while working in a refuge camp in Syria.
He was the third western hostage to be executed after US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff.
Details of the planned rescue follow the news that a third British hostage is being held by Islamic State.
"Despite the beheading and mass murders carried out by IS, they are still managing to recruit British Muslims"A source
Journalist John Cantlie appeared in a bizarre online video last week and said he would be appearing in more.
