Derek Fey ended his marathon career on a high note, taking first place at the Omaha Marathon on Sunday.
"This is my last marathon," Fey said after he broke through the winner's ribbon outside TD Ameritrade Park. "I just wanted to finish."
Instead, the 34-year-old Omahan won in 2:35:53.
Stephen VanGampleare, the runner-up from Colorado Springs, Colo., finished about seven minutes behind.
Darcy Fuehrer of Tulsa, Okla., won the women's division in 3:01:42.
"Winning it was a major surprise," she said, laughing. "All the really fast girls must have run the 10k or slept in."
More than 4,000 people registered for the marathon, half-marathon and 10K races. Of those, roughly 1,000 ran the full marathon.
Fey led the entire race. Though injuries have plagued the distance runner on and off for years, he said he entered Sunday's race completely healthy.
"This is the best I've felt since I ran (the Boston Marathon) in 2009," he said. There, he placed 77th.
Fey reached the halfway point in the Omaha race in less than 1 hour and 16 minutes, quicker than he had planned.
Shortly after mile 18, he said he intentionally slowed "just a hair" in order to finish the last six miles strong. He estimated the move added 20 to 30 seconds to his finishing time.
By mile 20, Fey said, he "had a feeling it was pretty much a done deal."
Fuehrer hoped to finish in three hours. Though she missed the target by less than two minutes, she did beat her previous best time.
She ran an even pace through mile 20 but called the last six miles "painful."
The 33-year-old ran cross country and long-distance track at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
Fuehrer said she was excited to be back in Nebraska for the marathon. Placing first was a bonus, she added. It was her first marathon victory.
Theresa Gosnell of Omaha was second in the women's full marathon in 3:04:08.
Shane Smith of Omaha won the men's half marathon in 1:15:23. Christy Nielsen, also of Omaha, won the women's division in 1:22:05.
The marathon, half marathon and 10K races started and ended on Mike Fahey Street downtown. Entrants ran on the warning track inside TD Ameritrade Park — a new addition to the event — before finishing just outside the stadium.
"It went great," said Race Director Mark Wilson of HITS Endurance. "We had fantastic weather and fast times."
HITS Endurance, a national event production company, organized the Omaha Marathon for the first time after purchasing the race earlier this year for an undisclosed amount.

is a good clean hotel that was a short walking distance from Disney. What we
were looking for is a good clean hotel, within walking distance to the park,
and for the kids to have there own beds oh yeah.... and not breaking the bank.
The Portofino satisfed us in all areas. I would stay here again.

"Very enjoyable stay close to Disneyland"
- What a hidden gem Portofino Inn & Suites were. We booked a Kids Suite
and weren't disappointed. The levels of service from the front desk through
to the room cleaning was 100%. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend
Portofino to others.

"Gotta get a kids suite" - The kids
suite was awesome. We stayed a total of 13 nights over a 3 week period. Staff

of our baggage while we went away. An easy walk to Disneyland. Food outlets
all around and supermarket nearby. Would recommend to others.

► Image-based screen reveals that DYRK inhibitors prevent stress granule dissolution ► DYRK3 condenses P-granule-like structures via its N-terminal domain ► DYRK3 regulates mTORC1 via stress granule dissolution and PRAS40 phosphorylation ► Via cyclic partitioning, DYRK3 couples liquid-liquid unmixing to cellular signaling
Cytosolic compartmentalization through liquid-liquid unmixing, such as the formation of RNA granules, is involved in many cellular processes and might be used to regulate signal transduction. However, specific molecular mechanisms by which liquid-liquid unmixing and signal transduction are coupled remain unknown. Here, we show that during cellular stress the dual specificity kinase DYRK3 regulates the stability of P-granule-like structures and mTORC1 signaling. DYRK3 displays a cyclic partitioning mechanism between stress granules and the cytosol via a low-complexity domain in its N terminus and its kinase activity. When DYRK3 is inactive, it prevents stress granule dissolution and the release of sequestered mTORC1. When DYRK3 is active, it allows stress granule dissolution, releasing mTORC1 for signaling and promoting its activity by directly phosphorylating the mTORC1 inhibitor PRAS40. This mechanism links cytoplasmic compartmentalization via liquid phase transitions with cellular signaling.

Vicenza is a city in northern Italy, is the capital of the eponymous province in the Veneto region, at the northern base of the "Monte Berico", straddling the Bacchiglione. Vicenza is approximately 60 km west of Venice and 200 km east of Milan. As of 2007 Vicenza had an estimated population of 119,038. Vicenza is the third Italian industrial city by export. History: Roman age: Vicentia was settled by the Italic Euganei and then by the Palaeo-Veneti in the 2nd-3rd century BC, from whom it was taken by the Gauls. The Romans conquered it to the latter in 157 BC, giving the city the name of Vicetia or Vincentia ("victorious"). The Vicentini received the Roman citizenship in 49 BC. The city had some importance as a hub on the important road from "Mediolanum" to Aquileia], but was overshadowed by its neighbor Patavium (Padua). Little survives of the Roman city, but three of the bridges across the Bacchiglione and Retrone rivers are of Roman origin, and isolated arches of a Roman aqueduct ...

Hot flashes can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms in early menopause. It can cause a feeling of warmth that spreads through upper body and face, flushing of face and neck, sweating, and rapid heart rate. Most women have mild to moderate symptoms that can be managed through lifestyle changes. Some women may have more severe symptoms that interfere with their daily activities. Hormone replacements therapy (HRT) with estrogen is an effective treatment. However, recent concerns about the safety of HRT have lead to efforts to find alternative therapies. Some studies have shown that antidepressant medication may provide some relief.
Researchers from the Eastern Virginia Medical School reviewed the benefits and risks of an antidepressant drug called desvenlafaxine. The study found that the drug may be effective in relieving hot flash symptoms.
The study was a randomized trial, comparing the effects of desvenlafaxine to a placebo. The study followed 567 healthy postmenopausal women who had reported at least 50 moderate to severe hot flashes weekly. The women were randomly divided into one of three groups:
Each week the women were asked to record the number and severity of the hot flashes. After 12 weeks, compared to their records at the beginning of the study, the women reported:
During the first week there was a higher drop-out rate for women in the desvenlafaxine groups than the placebo groups. This was probably linked to the negative side effects of the drug, including loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea, dry mouth, nausea, insomnia, and dizziness.
This study was a follow-up to a previous clinical trial. The earlier study published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, also found this drug to be effective in treatment of hot flashes. These new results seem to confirm the benefits of desvenlafaxine to relieve hot flashes.
Mild to moderate hot flashes can usually be managed through lifestyle changes. However, if they are significantly interfering with your personal and professional lives, talk to your doctor about treatment options. Although desvenlafaxine and similar medications are not without their side effects, at this point, it appears they are likely to be safer than HRT over the long term. Hot flashes last about 1-2 years without treatment.

Learning formal theory Vs.Imitation.
Well its been 2.5 years of staying focused on my hobby. I've learned some important basics of software synths/samplers, sound design, drum patterns, mixing and odds and ends. In addition understand to a degree how my favorite artists achieve things sonically speaking.
Now that I know how achieve sonic results better(much to learn), I have been wanting to actually finish projects and eventually make an album in time. But I feel I am missing a proper foundation e.g. the ability to write at all. I use the exact same chord progressions in the major scale over and over which is probably okay to a degree, but I always end up with loops that could be bridges, choruses, outros,drops ect and I end up with a headache and frustration trying to glue stuff together. You probably see the dilemma. In my case what would you recommend? What would have the best pay out? 1. Study formal music theory to the extent that I know why my artists songs sound complete and well executed. or 2.Just study the music I like and attempt covers even if they are rough. or 3. Do both. This would be fun but there is still so much to learn and master from sound design to mixing and time is limited. Thanks for the input everybody who has been down this road. |

Hudson Jeans & Vanity Fair Host DJ Night
Deep in the heart of Hollywood, tucked away in the comfortable yet chic Palihouse were some of LA's rising stars and fashion darlings. The fireplaces were ablaze, Blondie was blasting and the skinny jeans set took to the dance floor as DJ Donovan Leitch spinned some serious tunes. Now this is what we call a party!
Last night's Vanity Fair and Hudson Jeans' Pre-Oscar Party was one for the books. Kelly Osbourne debuted her new lavender do' (you heard it here first, lavender is the new platinum), Joel Moore couldn't stop chatting away about Avatar's copious nominations, and Ryan Eggold showed off his favorite pair of Hudson jeans. We admit it, we snapped a few shots of his adorable bum.
Our favorite fashion bloggers rocked the party. Special guest and fashionista, Krystal Simpson was in attendance along with the ladies from Racked LA who had it right when they said, "There are already a lot of people here. Very pretty people." Those VPPs certainly know how to party! The Stella Artois was flowing as it reached midnight and Hollywood's finest couldn't stop chatting about the party after it ended and starlets headed to their respective after parties.
New York is the city that never sleeps, right? We beg to differ!

Even without scoring, Taijhe Kelly could take over games because of her ability to block shots and grab rebounds.
UNO's 6-foot-4 junior center worked on her offensive game during the summer.
"I've got more of a back-to-the-basket game now," Kelly said. "I've got more than one move this season. My rebounding has increased a lot. I'm more active on the offensive side.
"Defense is usually the key to my game, but this year I'm trying to add more offense."
Kelly averaged 4.9 points and 5.0 rebounds last season while leading the Summit League with 2.6 blocks per game.
With the Mavericks' top three scorers having departed, and with Kelly's offensive improvement, could she become a double-figure scorer?
Time will tell.
"She has the capability to (score more)," interim coach Brittany Lange said. "She's really focused on the rebounding side of it. She's done a great job of getting herself in shape — and that can lead to a couple of quick ones in transition, and then maybe you're shooting a couple of free throws, and that adds up (to more points). If it translates into an exact number, I'm not sure yet."
If nothing else, Kelly did what it took to get in that position, Lange said.
"She dedicated her entire summer to staying in the weight room, working on her footwork, getting stronger ... and from that she's really improved on the offensive end," Lange said. "I'm very proud of those gains that she's made."
Kelly, 19, started her UNO career as a still unrefined 17-year-old from Carson, Calif.
"She probably needed another (redshirt) year," Lange said. "But she's a very smart, system player. She's knowledgeable about where to help and when."
Mavs picked seventh, House on All-Summit second team
The Mavs were picked to finish seventh in the eight-team Summit League.
"I really like their eagerness to improve, to get better each day," Lange said. "We're not talking about wins or losses but about embracing the process, improving and understanding their roles, and doing it together."
UNO guard Ericka House, a 5-foot-9 senior who led all Summit League reserve players in scoring last season, was named second team preseason All-Summit in voting by media.
House, from Hot Springs, Ark., transferred to UNO last season from Tyler (Texas) Junior College and averaged 9.0 points per game while shooting 33.5 percent (57 of 170) from 3-point range. More than half (57 of 94) of her made field goals were 3-pointers.
House, who also averaged 2.9 rebounds per game, was fourth on the team in scoring. She is the Mavs' leading returning scorer and their second-leading returning rebounder.
Bogard among possible options at point guard
Brianna Bogard is one of three point guards UNO hopes will fill the void left by the departure of four-year starter Jamie Nash.
Bogard transferred from East Tennessee State and is eligible to play immediately.
"She has wonderful leadership qualities," Lange said. "She might not be the most vocal, but she knows how to lead in many ways. This is a new process to her, too, and she's getting better every day. We do put a lot of emphasis on our point guards."
Bogard, a 5-7 junior, averaged 5.2 points and 1.5 assists in 30 games as a freshman and 4.5 points as a sophomore at East Tennessee State.
Last season, Nash averaged 9.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists and was among the national leaders with 3.2 steals per game.
Lange said both Bogard and 5-10 junior Lanese Bough are capable of playing either guard spot, while 5-7 freshman Madi Robson of Ankeny, Iowa, is the team's only pure point guard.
"They're all a little different than Jamie," Lange said. "Jamie was that fearless, aggressive PG, and this group plays extremely hard but is probably more system-oriented than Jamie was."

CURRENT ISSUE (#50) Spring/Summer 2012
A Series of Astrological Disasters
by Kelly Spitzer
Ketchum, Idaho: 1987
In January, Melissa's mother became interested in astrology after meeting a psychic who told her she was close to finding her place in the world. This after twelve cities in twelve years. This at age thirty, with a preteen daughter, her mother told her sister over the phone.
Melissa heard her mom talking to Aunt Millicent in the pantry. The door was closed and the lights were off, the phone cord stretched taut from the living room. It's about time, Mills, her mother said. About goddamn time. Melissa's mother always called her sister Mills instead of Millicent and Melissa Mels instead of Melissa, and she was constantly mixing them up despite their age difference and relation.
Melissa stood in front of the fridge with the door open and feigned interest in its contents. I'm meeting with him again, she heard her mother say. I'll let you know what he says. She opened the pantry door, and Melissa grabbed the peanut butter, held it out to her as if it were dinner she had caught in the woods. Great, Mels, her mother said, peanut butter. How 'bout Denny's instead?
When they arrived at Denny's, the psychic was already there, saving a booth.
Scoot in and do your math homework, Mels, her mother said. Sweetie.
The waitress came over and her mother ordered a coffee, plenty of cream and sugar, and Melissa ordered a pop with everything—Coke, Sprite, and Dr. Pepper but no root beer. The psychic ordered a side of bacon and an iced tea with three slices of lemon. He touched her mother gently on the hand and said, Shelley, you are a Gemini. Pollux, one of Gemini's stars, is the nearest giant star to Earth. Her mother ooohed and went glass-eyed, and Melissa wished she could take her mother home, where the two of them could wait on the porch for dark, and when it came, Melissa would point and say, There, Mother. There's Gemini. Right there. But Melissa didn't know where Gemini was.
She faked problem solving while her mother talked to the psychic about all the cities they'd lived in, the jobs Melissa's father had taken on a whim—assembly line operator, fishing hand, a position with a highway-maintenance consulting firm—and then, when she excused herself to use the "little girl's room," the psychic leaned over the table and told Melissa she was a Sagittarius. Then he said, You know how your parents met, don't you?
Ketchikan, Alaska: 1974
It was March, 1974, the psychic said. Your mother was a senior in high school, the new girl in Ketchikan, Alaska. I haven't yet determined where she came from, or why, but give me time. He winked at Melissa from beneath a grubby wool hat with ear flaps and picked up a slice of bacon. His fingers were stubby. Farmhand fingers, Melissa thought. She sucked her soda through the straw and rolled her eyes so he would think she was bored.
On the first night of the Aurora Borealis, the psychic continued, people all over town gathered in parks and front yards. Your mother walked down to the boardwalk and lay herself down on a bench. She'd never seen anything so beautiful in her life. In fact, she wrote in her diary later that what happened next happened because of the exhilaration she felt. The energy. It was erotic, she said. You know what erotic means, don't you, Melissa? Melissa stared at him with her brows raised, and the psychic said, I thought so. I certainly thought so. He ripped the end off a piece of bacon and swallowed it whole.
Your father, Melissa, was walking along with his friends when they came upon your mother lying on the bench, her knees bent at just the right angle. I'd sure like a piece of that ass, he told his friends. He came and stood directly over your mother and said, I want to bend you over this bench. Hey, baby, how about it? Your mother looked at your father. Then she stood and whispered in his ear, I want to see it first. Then I'll decide. That is also the story of how you were conceived, the psychic said. He slurped his tea, clanked the ice cubes against his yellowed teeth. Melissa sucked her soda through the straw, stared at him like he was the biggest moron on earth, like anything he said couldn't affect her, but later, locked in the bathroom of their apartment in Providence, Rhode Island, Melissa did the math and knew the story was true.
Providence, Rhode Island: 1988
Melissa stood in line in the school's gym, waiting to get into Star Lab, the giant silver bubble that projected constellations onto a domed ceiling. She couldn't believe this school took twelve- and thirteen-year-olds through this ritual, but she wasn't going to complain. Last spring, she'd checked out a stack of library books—star charts and constellation guides and astrological sign guidebooks—and rode them home on the handlebars of her bicycle, home to her family's half of the duplex in Ketchum, Idaho.
There, she ditched her bike in the driveway, ran up the front steps and through the already opened door. Before she could escape to her room, however, her parents called her into the living room, where empty liquor store boxes were piled floor to ceiling. Her father kicked a stack in Melissa's direction. They toppled over onto her head and ankles. A corner of a box hit her in the eye. Pack your junk, he said.
The next day, on their way out of town, Melissa dropped the books in the library's drop box without having opened one of them.
Star Lab was her chance to finally determine where Gemini lay in the night sky, but Melissa needed someone to show her its position. She slipped off her dusty Keds and dropped to the end of the line in order to assure herself a spot next to the science teacher.
When it was her turn, she crawled through the door, pressed herself in close, her arms and knees squished against the arms and knees of someone else. She sat in strained anticipation, waiting for her eyes to adjust. At last, the science teacher entered and sealed the door shut behind him.
Melissa leaned toward him. I want you to show me Gemini, she said.
You got it, he whispered back.
The projector started, and a mess of stars erupted across the dome's lid. Melissa craned her neck back and tried to make sense of it all, tried to pick out bears and belts and twins, but there was only dots, dots and more dots, like holes in a colander, tiny spaces where the undesired drained through.
Do you see it? Melissa asked.
Not yet, the science teacher said. This is the summer sky. Gemini is best seen in winter.
Melissa waited through Ursa Major, Hercules, Aquarius, Pisces, Pegasus, even Sagittarius, until finally, the skies changed.
There, the science teacher said. See that cluster of stars in the center? Gemini is to the southwest. It looks like an upside down U. Here, follow me, he said.
Melissa leaned over and stuck her nose under his finger. It smelled like cheap lotion or a mud pit. As she followed his finger from the bottom of the screen, up and over, she felt his hand move onto her knee.
You with me? he asked. I think so, Melissa said. She thought he was probably using her for balance, that old people might need to do that.
Up a bit more, a bit more, he said, and as he did so, his hand moved up as well, from her knee to just above it, from just above it onto her thigh, until finally it was there, at the crook between her upper thigh and her privates.
Do you see? he asked. And Melissa, though she knew he couldn't see her, nodded, though truly, she didn't see it at all.
That night, at home, Melissa told her mother what happened. Well, she said, did he show it to you?
Aurora, Illinois: 1988
From the way her parents talked about the house they were buying (Buying, Mels, her mother had said. That means permanent roots, you know), Melissa imagined the house to be magic. Her room would be in the converted attic. It would have pink flowered wallpaper and a secret access door that led to places no one had explored. A bay window with a built-in bench seat covered in cream colored pillows would overlook a rose garden in the back yard.
When they arrived at the house after two days of driving, Melissa skipped through the quaint Victorian, took the steep, creaky stairs two at a time. What she found upstairs, however, was far from magic. The wallpaper was a shipman's blue. A brass radiator stood behind the door. The room was barely big enough for a twin bed and a dresser. The ceiling was covered in cheap glow-in-the-dark stars, and there was no secret access at all. Melissa opened the closet door and searched its inside to be sure. All she found, however, was a homemade Ouija board, drawn with black crayon on a piece of cardboard.
Melissa figured it didn't matter anyway. They would be gone within the year, home ownership or not. Somewhere between Rhode Island and Illinois, she'd heard the word Colorado, the mention of a job as a hunting guide.
In the past, upon arriving at a new house, Melissa and her mother scrubbed every room from ceiling to floor. They shopped for new accessories that looked unique to the state they now lived in, to replace those left behind. This time, however, Melissa wasn't going to bother. She wasn't going to clean the cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling. She wasn't going to wash the bugs down the drain of the tub. She'd leave it to her mother to hang Cubs baseball pendants, collect magnets of Chicago and the Sears Tower, put miniature glass corncobs in a basket on the kitchen counter. Melissa knew they wouldn't be there long enough for any of that to matter.
There was only one thing Melissa would do, and she hoped it would mean the psychic her mother met in Ketchum last year was right—she was close to finding her way in the world.
Melissa dropped the Ouija board in the center of the room and, standing on her tippy toes on a sturdy-ish box, she stuck her fingernail under the glow-in-the-dark stars and peeled them off one at a time. When she was finished, she stood in the doorway and examined the room. The stars lay in haphazard order across the tarnished hardwood floors. They stuck to the Ouija board like dander.
In the room that would become her parents, Melissa laid the stars out on the floor. She closed her eyes and tried to imagine what Gemini looked like. An upside down U, the science teacher had said. Melissa arranged the stars in a U shape, but she knew they didn't look anything like Gemini. They looked like a rainbow. She pushed them closer together, but they still didn't look right. Too pointy. Too V-like. Melissa scattered the stars and tried again, but it was useless. Without ever having seen the constellation, she couldn't recreate it.
Downstairs, her parents were arguing about where to put the cups. Melissa knew where they would end up—to the right of the sink, not the left. It was the only thing her father cared about. When he got up in the middle of the night to take a piss and get a drink of water, he didn't want to search for something to drink out of. Melissa pushed the stars around as her mother tried to convince him that the cupboard on the right was better for spices because it was closer to the stove. She shaped the stars into a smiley face, a flower, a sun, a moon, a heart. She made a triangle and a box, and when she pushed the two together, she realized they made a house.
That was it—a house! Permanent roots. Wasn't that what her mother was seeking, after all? Not some stupid star shaped like an upside down U. Melissa dragged the box across the hall into her parents' room and carefully made a glow-in-the-dark star house on the ceiling. After her father left for the evening, Melissa led her mom into the bedroom and turned off all the lights. The house let out a faint lime glow that reminded Melissa of bug guts.
Lay on the bed and look up, Melissa said.
Mels, what's going on?
It's a surprise.
Her mom lay down. What's this?
A house, Melissa said.
Did you do this?
Well, yeah. You want a home, don't you? A place in the world?
Her mom laughed quietly, and Melissa asked her what was so funny. Nothing. Nothing, Mels. This is sweet. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Melissa lay down next to her, and together, they listened to the night sounds in their new neighborhood. All around them, dogs barked, and if Melissa closed her eyes and lay real still, she swore she could hear the buzz of the power lines running through the back yard.
Hey, Mels, her mom said.
How do you like the house?
It's okay.
Her mom laughed again. It's not very nice, is it?
It's not the greatest.
I don't like it either.
Melissa snuggled against her mom's side. Can I tell you something? she asked.
Of course.
I hope we move soon.
This time, her mom laughed so hard she cried. After she got her breath back, she put her arm around Melissa and said, Me too, Mels. Me too.
There's a Ouija board in the closest, Melissa said. Maybe it will show us where we're going next.
A Ouija board, huh?
It's homemade. Someone left it here.
I think we can skip that for now. I don't believe in that stuff anymore.
Melissa rolled onto her back and looked at the glow-in-the-dark house on the ceiling. If she squeezed her eyes tight, as tight as she could, then opened them again quickly, the house twinkled like she imagined it would at Christmas. And if she stared hard and blurred her eyes, the house became a home, a home with pink flowered wallpaper, a secret access door, and a rose garden.
