As news continues to come out about the horrific school shooting Friday in Connecticut, experts say it's important for parents to ensure their children can express their feelings and concerns about what happened.
"Reality is settling in..." Since: Nov 08 4,558 Stop sweating the small stuff. |
Judged: 4 3 3
Judged: 4 3 3 At-least we can be thankful that she was taken out. How stupid can people be?? |

Judged: 6 6 3 |
Judged: 4 4 2 |
Since: Apr 09 1,001 |
Judged: 2 2 1 It seems like a *ucked up family all around. She should have kept them in a gun vault, and kept the key REALLY hidden from the nutjob. The parents were divorced in 2008, the brother lives in NJ and has said he hasn't talked to his brother since 2010. You can just FEEL that everyone KNEW the nutjob was ready to blow up but nobody did anything? Even lock the guns away??? WTF? |
"The QUEEN BEE has spoken" Since: Aug 09 817 Don't get STUNG! |
Judged: 2 1 1 Truly a dysfunctional group that overlooked the obvious. So sad. |
Judged: 2 1 1 Even if they are all white. https://www.youtube.com/watch... |
Judged: 1 1 1 Is anyone killed? Guns kill. People operate them. Can't have one without the other |
Judged: 3 2 2 True. a million degrees on a wall can never compensate for reality and common sense. I have encountered so many people like this. Such as "professionals" that have no kids, yet they can tell us explicitly how to handle your child. |
Since: Jan 12 17 Location hidden |
Judged: 1 1 I agree!! |
Judged: 1 1 1 I agree !! |
Judged: 1 1 1 just like whites kill everyday all over the US. Whites kill in groups, one at a time is not good enough for them. It is becoming normal for whites to go on rampages at educational institutions too. We have come to expect whites to go berserk. |
Judged: 1 1 1 And he lived in luxury. Lanza was living with his devoted mother, Nancy, in the familys four-bedroom, 3,100-square-foot estate. Nancy Lanza divorced Adams father, Peter, in 2008. Peter Lanza, now a vice president of taxes for GE Energy Financial Services, agreed to annual alimony payments that started at $240,000 and would have reached $298,800 in 2015.

Judged: 1 1 The mom was never a teacher, she was not certified nor had a teaching degree. She was once a school nurse (in another town/state) and did volunteer work at the school district occasionally, that's her extent of interaction with schools. She pulled her son out of school to homeschool him, you dont need to be a teacher to do that. Too bad your unknown father didnt take his junk out before it was too late. |
Judged: 2 2 2 If you homeschool your kid, your teaching him, you are a "teacher". duh. Did I say she was a teacher at a school??? So STFU. I wasn't even talking to you, I was talking to nickbo. |
Judged: 1 1 1 |
Judged: 1 1 1 this broad was a lush. I cannot wait to see how many lawsuits come forth from this tragedy. The Lanza Estate was wealthy. |
Since: Dec 12 10 United States |
Judged: 1 1 1 |
Judged: 2 1 1 I don't hate black people. |
Since: Dec 12 10 United States |
Judged: 2 1 1 I'm glad to hear that.. hate is like a drug. We do it to make ourself feel better maybe we should all work on our inner self. feeling good about who we are might allow us to feel good about others |

The main contributors to the sauce were mushroom juice and pork juice. I pan seared the chops alongside some onions and garlic, then added ~ 4 cups of sliced button mushrooms and turned down the heat to a low simmer for about 60 mins (covered pan). Finished it off by thickening with 1/4cup flour.
Add 1/4 cup white wine for a happier, more relaxed sauce. Serving on rice is key for maximum sauce-to face delivery.

Born in Germany in 1864, Max Weber was a precocious child. He went to university and became a professor, but suffered a mental breakdown in 1897 that left him unable to work for five years. In 1905 he published his most famous work, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. He returned to teaching in 1918 and died in 1920. He is considered the father of modern sociology.
"The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the disenchantment of the world."
"No sociologist should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time."
Early Life and Education
Max Weber was born on April 21, 1864. His father, Max Weber Sr., was a politically active lawyer with a penchant for "earthly pleasures," while his mother, Helene Fallenstein Weber, preferred a more ascetic lifestyle. The conflicts this created in their marriage acutely influenced Max. Still, their house was full of prominent intellectuals and lively discourse, an environment in which Weber thrived. Growing up, he was bored with school and disdained his teachers, but devoured classic literature on his own.
After graduating from high school, Weber studied law, history, philosophy and economics for three semesters at Heidelberg University before spending a year in the military. When he resumed his studies in 1884, he went to the University of Berlin and spent one semester at Göttingen. He passed the bar exam in 1886 and earned his Ph.D. in 1889, ultimately completing his habitation thesis, which allowed him to obtain a position in academia.
Early Career
Weber married a distant cousin, Marianne Schnitger, in 1893. He got a job teaching economics at Freiburg University the following year, before returning to Heidelberg in 1896 as a professor. In 1897, Marx had a falling out with his father, which went unresolved. After his father died in 1897, Weber suffered a mental breakdown. He was plagued by depression, anxiety and insomnia, which made it impossible for him to teach. He spent the next five years in and out of sanatoriums.
When Weber was finally able to resume working in 1903, he became an editor at a prominent social science journal. In 1904, he was invited to deliver a lecture at the Congress of Arts and Sciences in St. Louis, Missouri. He saw America as a country stripped of its morality and divorced from its religious foundation. To Weber, it was further supporting evidence for his most famous essays, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. These essays, published in 1904 and 1905, discussed his idea that the rise of modern capitalism was attributable to Protestantism, particularly Calvinism.
Later Work
After a stint volunteering in the medical service during World War I, Weber published three more books on religion in a sociological context. These works, The Religion of China (1916), The Religion of India (1916) and Ancient Judaism (1917-1918), contrasted their respective religions and cultures with that of the Western world by weighing the importance of economic and religious factors, among others, on historical outcomes. Weber resumed teaching in 1918. He intended to publish additional volumes on Christianity and Islam, but he contracted the Spanish flu and died in Munich on June 14, 1920. His manuscript of Economy and Society was left unfinished; it was edited by his wife and published in 1922.

BRICs bolster global video surveillance market growth in 2012
IMS Research has just published the ninth edition of its World Market for CCTV and Video Surveillance Equipment report. The 2012 edition forecasts that despite the weak and uncertain economic climate, the world market for video surveillance equipment will grow in excess of 12% in 2012.
IMS Research, recently acquired by IHS Inc., has just published the ninth edition of its World Market for CCTV and Video Surveillance Equipment report. The 2012 edition forecasts that despite the weak and uncertain economic climate, the world market for video surveillance equipment will grow in excess of 12% in 2012.
Senior Analyst and report author, Gary Wong, states; "Western Europe is projected to be the largest drag factor impacting global market growth in 2012. The Eurozone debt crisis is expected to depress growth in Western Europe as austerity measures continue to be implemented and a lack of end-user confidence limits video surveillance equipment spend. Spain, Italy and Greece are forecast to be the three slowest growing European markets for video surveillance equipment in 2012."
Despite the dampening effect of the Eurozone debt crisis, strong growth is forecast for the global video surveillance equipment market in 2012. Wong states, "The global market will be driven by strong demand for video surveillance equipment in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries." Infrastructure development in advance of major sporting events in Brazil and a heavy focus on city surveillance in China, India and Russia will be key drivers for growth in these countries. Currently the BRIC market is estimated to represent approximately 30% of global video surveillance spend. This is projected to increase to more than 40% of global spend in 2016. Whilst only low single digit growth is forecast for some of the more established markets for video surveillance equipment, the aggregate BRIC market is forecast to grow in excess of 20% in 2012 (year-on-year)".
Rapidly increasing traction for network video surveillance equipment in the BRIC countries is forecast to lead to an acceleration to the tipping point, when network video sales will overtake analogue CCTV sales. IMS Research forecasts that the world market for video surveillance equipment will tip in favour of network video in 2013.
IMS Research's recently published report, The World Market for CCTV and Video Surveillance Equipment - 2012 Editionforecasts the growth of analogue video surveillance equipment, network video surveillance equipment, HD over Coax video surveillance equipment and other relevant topic in greater detail. IMS Research also produces a number of detailed regional focused CCTV and video surveillance equipment reports providing incisive analysis for the following countries/regions: China, Eastern Europe and Russia, Latin America, India and the Middle East.

Prostate gland enlargement varies in severity among men and tends to gradually worsen over time. Prostate gland enlargement symptoms include:
The size of your prostate doesn't necessarily mean your symptoms will be worse. Some men with only slightly enlarged prostates have significant symptoms. On the other hand, some men with very enlarged prostates have only minor urinary symptoms.
Only about half the men with prostate gland enlargement have symptoms that become noticeable or bothersome enough for them to seek medical treatment. In some men, symptoms eventually stabilize and may even improve over time.
If you're having urinary problems, see your doctor to check whether your symptoms are caused by an enlarged prostate and find out what tests or treatment you may need. If you're unable to pass urine at all, seek immediate medical attention.
If you don't find urinary symptoms too bothersome and they don't pose a health threat, you may not need treatment. But you should still have your symptoms checked out by a doctor to make sure they aren't caused by another problem such as prostate cancer.

The study has shown that professional historic preservation career opportunities in the commercial sector have included jobs with cultural resource management consultants, contracting and development companies, and architectural firms. In the government sector, positions at the federal level included those with the National Park Service and various federal agencies; at state levels with state historic preservation offices (SHPOs), state transportation departments and other state agencies; and at local levels with municipal planning departments and preservation commissions. Historic preservation positions with non-profit organizations included openings with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, with statewide and local preservation advocacy organizations, with community development and main street organizations, and with historical societies and historic sites. In the education sector, a small number of preservation-related positions have been offered for faculty openings, for contract-based research, and for administration and planning jobs.
The following chart shows quarterly trends of preservation job openings posted on PreserveNet since 2003, tracked by economic sector (commercial businesses; governmental offices; non-profit organizations; and academic institutions). It should be recognized that although PreserveNet has been one of the most active historic preservation job listing services in the U.S., its methods for gathering job announcements have varied through this period. Some seasonal variations may also reflect its operation as a student-staffed service.
A sample of recent historic preservation job and internship postings are listed below. For more information, please contact the organizations or businesses listed in the announcements directly. Old postings are provided here for general reference, even though openings may be filled.

Protein Stabilization and the Hofmeister Effect: The Role of Hydrophobic Solvation Biophysical Journal, Volume 97, Issue 9, 4 November 2009, Pages 2595-2603 Xavier Tadeo, Blanca López-Méndez, David Castaño, Tamara Trigueros and Oscar Millet Abstract Using the IGg binding domain of protein L from Streptoccocal magnus (ProtL) as a case study, we investigated how the anions of the Hofmeister series affect protein stability. To that end, a suite of lysine-to-glutamine modifications were obtained and structurally and thermodynamically characterized. The changes in stability introduced with the mutation are related to the solvent-accessible area of the side chain, specifically to the solvation of the nonpolar moiety of the residue. The thermostability for the set of ProtL mutants was determined in the presence of varying concentrations (0–1 M) of six sodium salts from the Hofmeister series: sulfate, phosphate, fluoride, nitrate, perchlorate, and thiocyanate. For kosmotropic anions (sulfate, phosphate, and fluoride), the stability changes induced by the cosolute (encoded in m3=δΔG0/δC3) are proportional to the surface changes introduced with the mutation. In contrast, the m3 values measured for chaotropic anions are much more independent of such surface modifications. Our results are consistent with a model in which the increase in the solution surface tension induced by the anion stabilizes the folded conformation of the protein. This contribution complements the nonspecific and weak interactions between the ions and the protein backbone that shift the equilibrium toward the unfolded state.

Hofmeister Effect in Confined Spaces: Halogen Ions and Single Molecule Detection Biophysical Journal, Volume 100, Issue 12, 22 June 2011, Pages 2929-2935 Claudio G. Rodrigues, Dijanah C. Machado, Annielle M.B. da Silva, Janilson J.S. Júnior and Oleg V. Krasilnikov Abstract Despite extensive research in the nanopore-sensing field, there is a paucity of experimental studies that investigate specific ion effects in confined spaces, such as in nanopores. Here, the effect of halogen anions on a simple bimolecular complexation reaction between monodisperse poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and α-hemolysin nanoscale pores have been investigated at the single-molecule level. The anions track the Hofmeister ranking according to their influence upon the on-rate constant. An inverse relationship was demonstrated for the off-rate and the solubility of PEG. The difference among anions spans several hundredfold. Halogen anions play a very significant role in the interaction of PEG with nanopores although, unlike K+, they do not bind to PEG. The specific effect appears dominated by a hydration-dehydration process where ions and PEG compete for water. Our findings provide what we believe to be novel insights into physicochemical mechanisms involved in single-molecule interactions with nanopores and are clearly relevant to more complicated chemical and biological processes involving a transient association of two or more molecules (e.g., reception, signal transduction, enzyme catalysis). It is anticipated that these findings will advance the development of devices with nanopore-based sensors for chemical and biological applications. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (615 kb) |
How Hofmeister ion interactions affect protein stability Biophysical Journal, Volume 71, Issue 4, 1 October 1996, Pages 2056-2063 R.L. Baldwin Abstract Model compound studies in the literature show how Hofmeister ion interactions affect protein stability. Although model compound results are typically obtained as salting-out constants, they can be used to find out how the interactions affect protein stability. The null point in the Hofmeister series, which divides protein denaturants from stabilizers, arises from opposite interactions with different classes of groups: Hofmeister ions salt out nonpolar groups and salt in the peptide group. Theories of how Hofmeister ion interactions work need to begin by explaining the mechanisms of these two classes of interactions. Salting-out nonpolar groups has been explained by the cavity model, but its use is controversial. When applied to model compound data, the cavity model 1) uses surface tension increments to predict the observed values of the salting-out constants, within a factor of 3, and 2) predicts that the salting-out constant should increase with the number of carbon atoms in the aliphatic side chain of an amino acid, as observed. The mechanism of interaction between Hofmeister ions and the peptide group is not well understood, and it is controversial whether this interaction is ion-specific, or whether it is nonspecific and the apparent specificity resides in interactions with nearby nonpolar groups. A nonspecific salting-in interaction is known to occur between simple ions and dipolar molecules; it depends on ionic strength, not on position in the Hofmeister series. A theory by Kirkwood predicts the strength of this interaction and indicates that it depends on the first power of the ionic strength. Ions interact with proteins in various ways besides the Hofmeister ion interactions discussed here, especially by charge interactions. Much of what is known about these interactions comes from studies by Serge Timasheff and his co-workers. A general model, suitable for analyzing diverse ion-protein interactions, is provided by the two-domain model of Record and co-workers. Abstract | PDF (718 kb) |

The Hofmeister effect consists in changes of protein solubility triggered by neutral electrolyte cosolutes. Based on the assumption that salts cause stochastic fluctuations of the free energy barrier profiles, a kinetic theory of this phenomenon is proposed. An exponentially correlated noise, of amplitude proportional to the salt concentration, is added to each energy level, and the time-dependence of the mean protein concentration is calculated. It is found that the theory yields the well-known Setschenow equation if the noise correlation time is low in comparison to the aggregation time constant. Experimental data on salting-in agents are well fitted, whereas, in the case of salting-out cosolutes, two independent dichotomic fluctuations are needed to fit the data. This may result from the fact that, in both cases, the low-concentration regime is dominated by salting-in electrostatic contributions, whereas, at high salt concentrations, electron donor/acceptor interactions become important; these have opposite effects. The theory offers a novel way to metricate Hofmeister effects and also leads to thermodynamic quantities, which account for the influence of salts. The formalism may also be applied to describe kinetic phenomena in the presence of cosolutes.

When disaster strikes, brands can quickly find themselves in the social media crosshairs. Just ask BP, which found itself under attack when a horrible oil spill caused a PR nightmare the likes of which only a crisis PR firm could enjoy.
But with consumers and activist groups becoming more sophisticated in their use of social media, brands are increasingly discovering that a social media crisis can strike at any time -- for good reason, or no reason at all.

Somehow Panda and Titanium do not sound right together. Panda and bamboo would be much better.
It's funny that there are still companies charging for antivirus.
It's soso...use something else though...not mcafee
Use Avira AntiVir or Eset NOD32 only.
I have been running Panda for serveral months - no complaints.
Agree with #4 - please do not use mcfeces unless you need to have high blood pressure and wishes to strain your heart and bring on a stroke.
I used AVG free on a few systems, it was fair up through v7.5, then v8 became bloated, then 8.x became buggy crap which takes multiple times as long to update and often starts failing to update itself if several factors aren't ideal which they failed to test against (version 7.5 would still update fine). Definitely not "just install it and forget about..." for lots of people, though for others it works fine so the question is whether you feel lucky.
The most effective AV is called linux.
#10 - Although I also experienced the AVG download buginess, AVG just came out with a new version (can't recall the version # thought). So far, so good in my experience with the new AVG version.
what do you think good protection comes free lol.. avg crap !

Parenting Issues
Buying Power is in The Hands of Parents, Not The Judicial System
For anyone keeping track, the score on parents vs. video game manufacturers is zero to one; that is if you're one of the parents petitioning that video games are to blame for the upswing in violent teenagers.
The recent Supreme Court ruling against the California proposed law banning the selling of violent video games to minor children has parents reeling. This is clearly a win for video game manufacturers and a huge loss to parents struggling to control what video games their children play. But you'll have to pardon me if I don't join the sobbing parents in California or any other parent that may be hoping for a similar law to be passed in their state, because I have a rather simple solution for the so-called problem with children purchasing violent video games:
Stop Giving Children Money. There, I said it. You don't want kids to buy a violent video game? Stop giving them the money to do it. It's really not rocket science and I know in our touchy-feely new age parenting, there is a constant need for our kids to like us and be friends with us but at the end of every day you have to ask yourself, Who the heck is in control here? You or the kids?
Personally, I like control. I like the power of telling my kids no for their own good and I outright love saying "No" when other parents are saying yes even when they know that saying yes was a bad idea to begin with.
Perhaps that makes me a bit of a self-absorbed, control freak parent but if I don't want my kids to watch something, I don't let them. If I don't want them to buy something, I don't give them the money to do it. It's a pretty simple concept really, all it takes is a parent with a backbone and the desire to be the one in charge and make the decisions in the parent-child relationship. This line of thinking also falls under turning off the television and making them play outside instead of playing video games but I digress.
Secondly, I think the California courts were right in staying out of this retail war. What kids can and can't buy really isn't for the courts to decide. This is a decision that has to be left to the parents and if parents don't want their kids to purchase something that's inappropriate then you don't supply them with the funds to do it.
I realize that when a teenager is old enough to have a job and a car that does create a bit of a problem in controlling a teenager's money, but it can be done. It absolutely can be. Plus, at some point, you have to trust your kids to use good judgment in their purchasing decisions and let's face it, we can't control everything forever.
I am also smart enough to know that our children do have friends whose parents will let them buy the violent video games and if you're in that position, you have to decide: keep your child from hanging out with that friend or let them hang out at your house where things like video games can be monitored?
Still, while we do have the ability to control the purse strings and our children's purchases, why not do it? Why not stand up and say, "No. You cannot buy that video game. Can we compromise on something else?" and see what happens.
I foresee this as being an ongoing battle that is only going to get more heated as manufacturers cater to children and future purchasing generations but forcing the courts to make a decision that ultimately is my job as a parent, seems a bit ridiculous to me.
What about you? Do you control your children's purchases? Do you trust them to make sound buying decisions or try to influence them in any way when it comes to buying things they want?

Home Colours: | Sky blue shirts, white shorts and burgundy socks | Away Colours: | |
Notes: | Stadium Adresses: Introduction by Ewan Lawson, Director RAF 1st XV:
Last year was marked by a postponed game, a game abandoned due to frost, selection challenges due to the inability to get players released and that was before we even got to the inter-services. The Navy's desire to beat the Army at Twickenham saw them demonstrate a significant degree of commitment as a Service to ensuring that their squad got an extended period of quality time together the benefits of which were demonstrated in our being on the receiving end of a heavy defeat. This was followed by the failure of the Army to make our home fixture at Newbury as a consequence of being stuck in South Africa because of the volcanic ash cloud. Despite these frustrations, a number of players new to the Senior squad came through from the U23 and Divisional squads and made their mark. Thus, the management have decided to build upon these foundations with the aim being to maximise the potential in the squad whilst endeavouring to limit the impact of Service commitments. The first step in this process has been to endeavour to get the squad fitter, stronger and faster than in previous years. All have been provided with a strength and conditioning programme with regular testing opportunities and mentoring from Vets players. The second step was to revise the season structure such that we minimise the risk of weather having a negative impact and on the belief that it might be easier to get players released for short periods every other month or so. Thus the season will start in September with a trip to Bedford Blues and be followed by fixtures against Saracens and Northampton Saints, along with the traditional games in the New year against Oxford and Cambridge Universities. All of this is designed to better prepare the squad for the 2011 inter-services with our fixtures taking place on 20 (Army at Aldershot) and 27 April (Navy at home). We have asked that these fixtures are played relatively close together with the aim of trying to keep the squad together for as long as possible. Lastly, we are also looking forward to a potential inter-services world cup to be held in Australia in 2011 designed to coincide with the Rugby Union World Cup in New Zealand. If the event goes ahead as currently planned by the Australian Defence Force it will undoubtedly be a career highlight for those selected. And so back to the cliché: After a difficult season in 2009/10 we are looking forward to a much stronger 2010/11. We have certainly sought to make the changes to preparation in order to give the players every chance of success. Here's looking forward to it!

In 1995, she moved to Mission where she continued her important roles as wife, mother, grandmother, carpooler, girls' sports fan, and "granny roll" maker. Ginny enjoyed life, considered each new day a gift from God, and brought joy to those who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her parents Raldo and Grace Haden, her husband Joe Davis, and her brother Bill Haden.
Ginny is survived by one daughter Jenny Hudsonpillar (Mike) of Mission, two sons Dr. Joe Davis, Jr. (Pam) of Nacogdoches, and Bill (Brenda) Davis of Lufkin. She is also survived by nine grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. Grandchildren are Thad Davis, Dr. Bryan Davis, Flo Henderson, Martha Hunter, Ruth Ellen Macias, Gracie Hudsonpillar, Lisa Busbice, Sarah Spivey, and Kathy Summers.
Through her life, Ginny enjoyed relationships with church families in both Edinburg and Mission. Her family suggests donations be made to First Methodist Church, Edinburg : 3707 West Highway 107, Edinburg, Texas 78539; First Presbyterian Church, Mission: 1102 Ash, Mission, Texas 78572; and Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley: Box 6251 McAllen, Texas 78502.

Comments about Amish Brown Beard:
This product was originally titled "Human hair" which I thought meant it was made of human hair, but it wasn't. Being a Theater makeup artist, I decided to use it for a show I was designing. Not only is it difficult to apply with spirit gum, or any other safe adhesive, but it doesn't seem to want to stay very well on any face it's put onto. It does look fairly alright when it's onstage with a bunch of lights on it, but unless you're being silly at a party or you're on a stage 30 feet away, It doesn't look very realistic. It was worth half the price I paid for it.

Gordon Pirie

Douglas Alistair Gordon Pirie (10 February 1931 – 7 December 1991) was an English long-distance runner. He was born in Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, England but was brought up in Coulsdon, Surrey and ran for South London Harriers. He died of cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) in Lymington, Hampshire.
Early career[edit]
In 1955 he won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. During that year he had beaten the legendary triple Gold medalist in distance running at the 1952 Olympics, Emil Zatopek. Pirie was an exceptional cross-country runner, winning the English Championship 3 times. Pirie broke 5 world records in the course of his career, his annus mirabilis being 1956, when on 19 June in Bergen, Norway, he ran 13:36.8 for 5,000 m, beating Vladimir Kuts (USSR), and knocking 25 seconds from his own personal best. On 22 June in Trondheim, Norway, he equalled the world 3000 metres record with 7:55.6, and on 14 September, in Malmö, Sweden, he set a new record with 7:52.7.
Melbourne Olympics 1956[edit]
The neutrality of this section is disputed. (July 2012) |
In the Olympics, held in Melbourne later that year, Pirie ran against Kuts in the 10,000 metres and despite the tactics of Kuts, an aggressive front runner whose bursts of speed were particularly damaging to a long-striding runner like Pirie, he stayed with him into the last mile when every other competitor had dropped well back. Kuts then surrendered the lead for a short while, then made a last, despairing sprint which Pirie could not match and he dropped back. Kuts said later that if Pirie had stayed with him on that last sprint he would have dropped out of the race.[1] In the 5,000 metres Pirie took second place behind Kuts. Christopher Chataway, one of the other British runners, had been selected on past performance. He had not competed at top level for over a year as he was pursuing a media career as a lead-in to what was to be an unsuccessful career in politics in the disastrous Heath Government of 1970-74. With Pirie and Derek Ibbotson, the third British runner, he was tracking Kuts and had moved ahead of them as they went into a bend. The Soviet runner was setting a much faster pace than Chataway had ever run. Chataway suffered an attack of stomach cramp which caused him to slow down, and as Pirie and Ibbotson came out of the bend they found that Kuts had opened a gap on them. Pirie and Ibbotson ran round Chataway but Kuts was able to exploit his advantage and won the race. For the latter half of the race Pirie was running what was virtually a front race, as Kuts had broken away, but he was still strong enough to hold off a late challenge by Ibbotson. After the race, Ibbotson commented that, "You can't have a plan with a bloke like Chataway - he wants to do all the running", obviously feeling that if Chataway had stayed behind him and Pirie, they would have kept in contact with Kuts and may have beaten him, as they both had superior finishing speed.
Rome Olympics 1960[edit]
The neutrality of this section is disputed. (July 2012) |
Pirie was unlucky at the Rome Olympics in 1960. The Games were held in the height of the Roman summer and Pirie and other leading British contestants asked to go on ahead of the main party, at their own expense, so that they might be acclimatised to the heat. They were refused permission, on the grounds that "we travel as a team". It meant that they failed as a team. Pirie and his fellow 5,000 metres contestants were eliminated in the heats, leaving Pirie's only chance of a gold medal the 10,000 metres held later in the games. Pirie made the mistake of following the favourite, Murray Halberg of New Zealand. Halberg had won his major championships by making a tactical burst in the last mile of the race and holding onto the lead that he had taken - he had won the 5,000 metres at Rome by that tactic and Pirie's plan was to stay with him as he went forward. Unfortunately for Pirie, Halberg was probably suffering from his effort in the earlier race and as the race went on he failed to stay with the leaders. Pirie, far too late, realised that he and Halberg had lost contact with them.
Post-Olympic career[edit]
For some years, after he had criticised them, sections of the press had run a campaign against Pirie and they fully vented their spite after the Olympics. However, in a radio interview with Eamonn Andrews soon after the games, the great Australian runner Herb Elliott, referred to Pirie and Ibbotson who, having broken the world record for the mile in 1957, had never regained the same form and was not selected for Rome. Elliott said, "The British Press is the most vicious in the world. Their attitude to people like Pirie and Ibbotson is 'That bloke's on his way down, I'm going to kick him down and keep him there.'" In 1960 Pirie ran a sub-4 minute mile in Dublin, clocking 3:59.9.[2]
Pirie won the British Orienteering Championships in its first two years, 1967 and 1968.[3]
The 1998 edition of The Guinness Book of Records lists Gordon Pirie under the "Greatest Mileage" entry, stating that he had run a total distance of 347,600 km (216,000 mi) in 40 years to 1981.[4]
Running Fast and Injury Free[edit]
In his book Running Fast and Injury Free[5] Gordon Pirie advocates running with initially making ground contact with the midfoot (as opposed to the usual style of long steps with landing on heels), 3-5 steps per second to reduce fatigue, damage to feet, and wasting of energy on vertical movement of body. He also describes his collaboration with Adolf Dassler on designing running shoes with stronger toes (instead of the usual design with stronger heels) for better durability with his advocated running style.

Giving Voice: On the River: poetry and visual art
Oct 04, 2006 — The connection between poets and musicians goes back to the roots of both art forms, but for almost as long, poets and visual artists have also found inspiration in each other's work. Dale Hobson talks with Clayton wood engraver, Greg Lago, and Potsdam printer, Jim Benvenuto, about the creation of On the River, a suite of prints celebrating the St. Lawrence River in all its seasons. Dale reads the Fall poem from the collection, "The Poachers," and the Winter selection, "Ice." Thanks to Chris Turner for the roadhouse harmonica solo, recorded live at the Red Tavern in St. Regis Falls. Go to full article
