Running The Grand Canyon-Rim to Rim to Rim
in Sports
Trail Running is on the rise; one of the most epic challenges for an Ultra Trail Runner is traversing the Grand Canyon. Listen as Vanessa Runs shares her journey from rim-to-rim-to-rim, running through one of the 7 great Natural Wonders of the World.
How long will it take? Well, first of all, it's not a race. It would be crazy to do this run and not take some time to enjoy the incredible scenery. A mid-pack runner should plan on at least 13-15 hours.
It is a tough run, with a little bit of everything as obstacles: some rocky sections of trail, some exposure, two BIG hills, heat, cold, altitude (7000 feet at the south rim, 2600 feet at the bottom, 8000 feet at the north rim).
You will definitely feel like you've accomplished something when you finish. And you will see the Grand Canyon as few have ever seen it!
Episode 12 - Ape Canyon Incident with Marc Myrsell
in Podcasting
This week we are discussing the Ape Canyon incident of 1924 with researcher Marc Myrsell of the Dark Waters Paranormal Group. Marc and his group have been researching the incident for over 5 years, culminating in the potential rediscovery of the cabin site in 2013. They have reportedly excavated evidence of the cabin 6in underground. The exciting find and continued work is currently being compiled into a book & DVD powerhouse entitled MOUNTAIN DEVIL! For years investigators have been searching for the cabin site. Even Peter Byrne traveled to Ape Canyon circa 1972 in an attempt to locate it, but was unsuccessful. There were tales of the cabin burning down in 1968 and some suggest the site may have been buried or destroyed due to the 1980 eruptions of Mount St Helens. With future expeditions planned in order to further excavate the site and analysis underway to date some of the evidence, Marc and the D.W.P.G. may be on the cusp of a major discovery.
On July 10, 1924 four miners, including Fred Beck, were prospecting for gold on their claim 2 miles east of Mount St Helens in Washington State. Allegedly the 4 prospectors were assailed in their cabin late that night, for upwards of 6 hours, by what they described as Hairy Apes and Mountain Devils. The incident may have been precipitated by one of the miners shooting at a creature earlier that evening. And reportedly the morning after the incident one of the men shot and killed a creature sending it hurtling 400ft off a cliff and into a gorge below. The men were so anxious to leave the area, they left behind about $200 in equipment and supplies. The men reported the creatures to be over 7ft tall and found prints 19in long the following morning. The story and interviews with the miners were published in many of the West Coast newspapers including The Portland News, The Seattle Post Intelligencer, The Oregonian, and the Longview Daily News.

Daniel Ricciardo Wins Belgium Grand Prix and Crowd Boos Nico Rosberg
in News
The Formula One Grand Prix at Spa, in Belgium, was jam-packed with excitement, tenacity, and some have said, "dirty tricks." Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo drove a spectacular race all the way through the finish line. He started the race in 5th position then used speed and precision to overtake Mercedes driver and pole sitter Nico Rosberg. Once Ricciardo moved into first position he stayed there. He defended his position and held on for a back-to-back win, making this his third of the season.
Boos, Boos and more Boos for Mercedes AMG driver Nico Rosberg today. Fans and race viewers watched as he appeared to deliberately make contact with teammate Lewis Hamilton just enough to damage Hamilton's tires, and derail any opportunity Hamilton had, to earn points. Rosberg is in the lead for the driver championship and Hamilton, the 2008 World Champion was his biggest threat with an 11-point gap. Hamilton did not finish the race today due to damage to the car while Rosberg went on to finish second. Finishing third was the always friendly and reliable Williams-Martini driver, Valtteri Bottas. Bottas really put the Williams-Martini team in a respectable position for championship points, which means millions to a team. Valtteri has become a very reliable driver with enough confidence, to duke it out on the track, for team points.
Xiro Xone F1 Sports Award for Guts goes to McLaren rookie Kevin Magnussen who fought to keep his position against Alonso.
The Stop stressing me out award goes to, Sebastian Vettel, the 4-time champion with Red Bull. He made the podium on qualifying day, but missed it on race-day. Vettel has done a much better job with the car of late, and could have landed on the podium had it not been for a couple of hiccups, on the track. Now that he is more acquainted with the car we can expect to see him on the podium quite a bit more, next season.

The executive director of the American Public Power Association (APPA) always toes the canvas, swinging for equity for his 1,750 members, shadowing its "heavyweight" adversaries, investor-owned electric utilities (IOUs).
You've heard talk lately about the convergence of electricity and natural gas. That idea has grown as commodity markets have matured for gas and emerged for bulk power.
But some economists take a different view. They see the real convergence occurring between electricity and telecommunications. I'm not talking about the "smart house" or fiber-to-the-whatever. Instead, how is the product is created?
Two congressmen and a Clinton Administration official recently weighed in on the future of electric industry deregulation, giving observers an inkling of what they might expect in legislation or policy this year.
Sen. J. Bennett Johnston (D-LA), the ranking minority member of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, spoke before the Electric Generation Association (EGA) January 22. Just three days later he introduced S. 1526.
A couple weeks ago, on a beautiful Sunday morning, I picked up my briefcase and wandered down to the Potomac river shoreline to catch up on my summer reading list. There, on the Virginia side, gazing across the river at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and Capitol dome, I gathered strength to tackle a foot-high mound of paper.
Robert S. Silberman has joined California Energy Co. Inc., the largest independent geothermal power producer in the world, as senior v.p. of project development and implementation.NUI Corp. has appointed James R. Van Horn general counsel and corporate secretary. Van Horn was previously senior v.p., general counsel, and secretary at Citizens First Bancorp. Inc.
The interim board of directors of WorldTel has elected Sam Pitroda chairman.
On a purely intellectual level, it is difficult to justify the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA). Sixty years after passage, PUHCA has become an anachronism (em a fact well articulated in comments filed in response to the Concept Release on the modernization of the Act issued last November by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).1 More recently, the SEC's Division of Investment Management actually recommended a conditional repeal (see sidebar).
Sithe/Independence Power Partners, L.P., an independent power producer (IPP), has filed a petition at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) alleging that Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. (NMP) has been overcharging for electric transmission. Sithe believes NMP has been calculating transmission losses on an incremental basis; FERC policy requires that transmission losses be calculated on an average basis.
After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness as a minority party, House Republicans are ready to slash and burn what they see as a bloated federal bureaucracy. The next two years will demonstrate just how powerful the legislative branch can be when both House and Senate are controlled by a strong-willed party on a mission. Electric industry officials seem optimistic, but cautious, about this Republican revolution.
The other day I heard a short news item on National Public Radio that made me stop and think. The item ran something like this: "Maxwell House has announced it will cut the price of its loose ground coffee to reflect a drop in the coffee futures market several months out."
Wasn't that easy? Call it integrated resource planning in the espresso lane. Note what Maxwell House did not do. It did not solicit a demand forecast or run the PROMOD computer model.

Asian markets were mixed on Thursday, with the Japanese market hitting a fresh eight-month high as a sharp overnight drop in the yen stimulated gains.
The main development overnight was the conclusion of the U.S. Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting which ended with the central bank replacing "Operation Twist" with more outright asset purchases that will increase the amount of money the Fed injects into the economy to $85 billion from $40 billion. The main surprise was the Fed's announcement that it will keep interest rates close to zero until unemployment falls below 6.5%.
In currency markets, the U.S. dollar weakened to its lowest level against South Korea's won in 15 months, dropping as low as 1071 won per dollar compared with 1075 late Wednesday in Seoul, after the Bank of Korea kept interest rates steady at 2.75%, as expected.
The greenback strengthened to a fresh eight-month high against the yen after rising 0.9% against the safe haven currency overnight. It was at ¥83.57 late in Asian trading, compared with ¥83.27 late Wednesday in New York.
The softening in the yen came just days before Japan goes to the polls in an election that is widely expected to result in a victory for the Liberal Democratic Party. If victorious, the LDP is expected to implement aggressive monetary easing measures.
The weaker yen bolstered Japanese stocks, with the Nikkei up 1.7% to 9742.73, it biggest daily gain in a month. The index has rallied 12.4% since mid-November.

I also thought that gang violence question was rhetorical. :P
Your prediction is "backed up" by disasters that happened in a time far too different from the modern day, and/or catastrophes that don't hold a candle to nuking the entire world. I would say the only one you could barely compare in terms of the scale would be the bubonic plague, but those have nothing in common other than a huge amount of deaths.
Oh, and the Holocaust too, but it's pretty hard to compare massive genocide in pseudo-secrecy to blatant nuclear world's end in anything else but, again, death count.

So for those of you who don't know, Reddit has a "subreddit" dedicated to the Minnesota Vikings. While I was browsing Reddit, I came across an interaction (interview might be too formal) between a Redditor and one of the Vikings coaches (name not revealed to keep the coach from possibly getting into trouble), and I thought a lot of the information was something people here might want to hear.
Here's the link in case you want to read it for yourself.
The highlights of the conversation, for those who don't want to read the article:
Offensive comments:
- QB roundup: Teddy Bridgewater is indeed the stud we all believe him to be. He is a football genius, has a quick release, a great arm, and a great brain. He is delivering on all the hype surrounding him, and then some. The biggest concern that coaches have around him is the fact that Bridgewater is smaller than they want him to be, so they are concerned about his durability. The coach mentioned that the Vikings were pushing hard to trade up into the latter half of the first round, and while the coach says that there is some truth to the rumors that the Vikings were trying to trade up for Johnny Manziel, they are even happier with Teddy Bridgewater. At the moment, Matt Cassel is "the guy," but Teddy Bridgewater will be given every opportunity and then some to make a splash during camp. The coaches opinion is that Bridgewater should take over the starter's job around game 4 or 5, when fan expectations are lowered, compared to what they will be if he starts the season as the starting QB.
- TE situation: Rudolph is the guy. Ellison can "do it all," and as far as the Vikings coach knows, Ellison's job is secure due to his amount of versatility. The true battle will be between A.C. Leonard, Chase Ford, and Allen Reisner; however, according to the coach, A.C. Leonard "is a stud; though he is a little small, he has great hands, runs great routes and so far has stayed out of trouble. This could lead Leonard to having a larger role than people expect."
- Jerick McKinnon: The 3rd-round pick "is the goddamn man" (DQ). He is great in the film room, and has been grasping and learning the offense faster than any of the coaches believed possible. The coaches also can't believe his offensive knowledge and football acuity are so developed for being a triple-option QB in college. His athleticism, which was his hallmark in college, is blowing the coaches away, especially his ability to change directions (which sounds great to me). All of the coaches are very excited by his potential.
- RB3 competition: Joe Banyard, while not the high-profile guy anyone is looking for as even a RB3, has apparently done enough to receive additional looks from coaches. Matt Asiata is apparently well-liked by just about everyone within the Vikings organization, and he is seen as a nice replacement for AP (as a 2nd between-the-tackles runner). He's very smart, has good hands, is well above-average in pass protection, awesome at special teams, a very hard worker, and he might be the toughest player on the roster.
- FB competition: This is going to be one tough competition. According to the coach, the Vikings are only keeping one FB, and said FB has to be a special teams ace. The FB role is devalued under Turner because Ellison can play the FB role in a pinch. The coach likes Felton (and believes he is an under-rated pass-catcher) and believes Felton doesn't have to prove himself anymore on special teams (which likely means no other fullbacks beyond Felton are making the team).
- 5th/6th WR battle: Adam Thielen is likely the frontrunner in this competition, as he has had "an 'amazing' offseason." Kain Colter is the only other player to impress in this battle, as Erik Lora and Rodney Smith haven't shown much if anything. The coach says to watch for Josh Cooper as "a super-super dark horse candidate."
- Unfortunately, the OP wasn't able to ask whether or not David Yankey or Jeff Baca has a shot at unseating Charlie Johnson.
Switching over to the defensive side, which was a lot more depressing to read (in my opinion), and with a lot less detail as the focus of the conversation was mostly on offensive skill players.
- Brian Robison "is just plain awesome." Teams over the last few years have been respecting B-Rob more than Jared Allen despite Robison's almost criminal under-rating. This coach is excited about what is in store for Robison in 2014.
- The coach is TERRIFIED of the linebacking corps (my words, not the OP's). Greenway has a large amount of football knowledge, but has definitely lost a step. Greenway's leadership is the main reason (and might be the only reason) the coaches want him on the field this year (possibly could be the Vikings starting MLB in Zimmer's scheme).
- Audie Cole, while a cult legend and definite fan favorite (at least he is here), is not expected to be a big part of the Vikings plans going forward according to the coach. Coaches just don't believe he is athletic enough. (NOOOOOOOO!!!!)
- This coach couldn't have emphasized enough how thin the brain trust believes the linebacking corps to be. Other than Greenway and Barr, he had no full confidence in anybody. He wasn't optimistic for Hodges, Cole, Mauti, any of them. Eeshhhh.
- In the secondary, Rhodes is progressing extremely well and stands to be a force to be reckoned with. Smith is progressing just as well. Antone Exum is...eccentric...but definitely talented enough to push for a starting role.
- The coach sees good things that could come out of Corey Wootton, and the coach believes the d-line might be the best part of our defense this upcoming season.
- As for the defensive schemes themselves, they are "going to be 'just awesome.'" The schemes might not make up for our lack of talent, but we can cover some of the holes with aggressive enough tendencies.

An arabber (or a-rab) is a street merchant who sells fruits and vegetables from a colorful, horse-drawn cart. Once a common sight in American East Coast cities, only a handful of arabbers still walk the streets of Baltimore.
The term arabber is believed to derive from the 19th century slang term "street arabs".[1] Arabbing began in the early 19th century, when access to ships and stables made it an accessible form of entrepreneurship. African American men entered the trade following the Civil War. Brightly painted and artfully arranged, arabber carts became a common sight on the streets of Baltimore. To alert city dwellers to their arrival, arabbers developed distinctive calls:
Holler, holler, holler, till my throat get sore.
If it wasn't for the pretty girls, I wouldn't have to holler no more.
I say, Watermelon! Watermelon!Got 'em red to the rind, lady.[2]
During World War II, factory jobs opened to white laborers, leaving arabbing an almost all African American vocation. By then arabbing was already in decline, threatened by the expansion of supermarkets and the dearth of public stables. In the later 20th century, arabbers faced additional challenges from city zoning and vending regulations, and from animal rights advocates concerned about the health and welfare of the horses.
In 1994, the Arabber Preservation Society was founded to help bring the Retreat Street stable, which had been condemned, up to city building codes.[3] The society continues to renovate and promote the preservation of the stables serving the remaining arabbers, who number fewer than a dozen. Besides providing a nostalgic glimpse of the past, arabbers still serve a practical purpose, bringing fresh produce and other goods to urban neighborhoods that are underserved by grocery stores. Ka'Vonye' an Arabber of Baltimore is only 14, he says "it gives people a positive thing to do, a lot of people don't have jobs, and it helps people get at least a little money in their pockets." later down the road in the questioning he also says "it's not considered a job, to me it's considered a place where you can work with a partner two times bigger than you and have joy while helping people in food deserts who can't get to the market. It's amazing to see how many people appreciate you".
In media[edit]
- The documentary We Are Arabbers (2004) by filmmakers Scott Kecken and Joy Lusco Kecken profiles contemporary arabbers.
- Arabbers appear in the first, fourth and fifth seasons of the television series The Wire, partly written by the documentary filmmaker Joy Lusco Kecken, who also wrote for Homicide.
- The first season of the television series Homicide: Life on the Street featured a plotline about an arabber suspected of murdering a little girl. The series was based on a book by David Simon, who also created The Wire.
- The Arabz led by Skarr Akbar are a Baltimore rap group named after the practice in honor of their hometown.
- On the May 5, 2009 episode of the television show Ace of Cakes, reference was made to an "arabber" carrying a customer around Baltimore in a coffin as part of a living funeral.

Traditional pubs served as community hubs, places to see neighborhood folks and combine the flow of information with the flow of taps. Finnegan's Irish Pub aims to recreate that same setting for a modern audience, serving friendly sandwiches, burgers, and Irish entrees with plenty of beer.
Rather than depending on word of mouth for their stream of news, the pub's staff instead bedecks the dining room with flat-screen televisions and projectors. Outside, a television screens bathe the patio in its technicolor light. And some of the indoor booths come with their very own TVs, ideal for quietly feeding your curling addiction while pretending to care about football.
To get a sense of The Greene Turtle's commitment to the neighborhood, one need only sit at the bar and look up. Dozens of mugs hang above the counter, emblazoned with the pub's logo and a unique number—each one belongs to a recurring patron. The Mug Club awards its members with draft-beer discounts and other specials, but more importantly, it allows loyal patrons to feel as though they own small slices of the venue without tattooing their names on the bartender's arm. This sense of shared familiarity is what fuels the entire franchise, which refrains from calling its locations "restaurants" in favor of friendlier terms: gathering places, communities, havens.
Many of the locations contribute more than mugs to their districts. Staff members who participate in the annual Tips for Tots program donate the entirety of one day's tips to a nearby Toys for Tots initiative, and Tuesday Funds for Friends events benefit local organizations. These efforts have been chronicled by press sources such as Food and Drink magazine, with features that liken The Greene Turtles' philanthropic generosity to the generous portions of comfort food that leave the kitchens.
From cheeseburger sliders and flatbread pizzas to handmade lump-crab cakes, the offerings on the menu embrace barroom traditions along with ingenuity. The steak and chicken entrees arrive with classic sides of green beans and yukon gold mashed potatoes, whereas the eastern shore mac 'n' cheese updates a comfort staple with chopped bacon, lump crab, scallions, and Old Bay seasoning. Diners can enjoy their meals by the glow of private flat-screen TVs—there's one in every booth—or beneath one of many larger televisions broadcasting sports games throughout the venue.
Dance King Studios owner Adam King leads his instructors in tutoring feet to move to the rhythms of salsa, bachata, tango, and swing. But his rug-cutting team doesn't simply teach students how to dance?the studio also hosts parties that encourage dancers to socialize as they show off their skills in a low-stress setting free of hecklers or trapdoors. The team also helps wedding-bound couples find their footing for first dances. Adam told Leesburg Today that he loves putting nervous pairs at ease. ?Most people say they have two left feet, but I'm about overturning those ideas,? he said. ?Anybody can learn to dance, it's a matter of giving yourself a chance.?

The Winnipeg Jets are making a pitch to host the NHL Heritage Classic in 2016.
When the team arrived in New Jersey for Sunday's game against the Devils, True North chairman Mark Chipman confirmed reports that the team is in preliminary negotiations with NHL to host an outdoor game.
According to the Winnipeg Free Press, a source says the league is hoping to play a Heritage Classic in Canada in 2014 and 2016, with Vancouver's B.C. Place Stadium the likely location in 2014.
The new Investors Group Field in Winnipeg could seat about 40,000 for hockey.
The Edmonton Oilers hosted the first Heritage Classic at Commonwealth Stadium in 2003 and the Calgary Flames played an outdoor game at McMahon Stadium in 2011.

3.28/5 rDev -4.4%
Beer #3 during an Anheuser-Busch Specialty Brewing Group tasting, for originalbeers.com
A bright, clear golden beer topped with a thin, fluffy head and a wispy, sticky lace. Pale malts, sweet and grainy, dominate the aroma with hints of steel / minerals.
Thick-ish, full-bodied, and a bit creamy. Intense, over-the-top, bready malt sweetness hits the palate, and then stops abruptly.
A crisp edge, thin lemon-lime citric hop character cuts the sweetness, with herbal notes and a faint lager-esque sourness in its trail and some piney and oily hops somewhere in the middle. Then it all stops, abruptly, and finishes clean.
Sweet. Stop. Hoppy. Stop.
Like fellow taster Andy Crouch said, this beer pisses me off. It's no doubt good, but it's kind of confusing as you're not entirely sure what it's trying to be and your mind is looking for some form of classification. It's also unlike other Double Pils, and feels like two beers in one. Interesting.

3.28/5 rDev -4.4%
On tap at the Bell In Hand Tavern - Boston, MA.
Shiny golden color, thin white lace. Mild sugary honey-like maltiness. Bite of hops with a whithering flavor ... some herbal hop in there. Very lager-like, almost green. If malt liquor was brewed with all malt then this is what it would taste like. Pretty good but not something I'd think about drinking one a regular basis.

3.45/5 rDev +0.6%
Had quite a few 5 oz samples at a tasting at the Kinsale in Boston. My samples came with minimal bone white head (they were poured from a pitcher, so...) which produced very little lacing. Aromas were reminiscent of Bud, with a harsh alcohol component dominating. Slightly sweet at first with upfront alcohol flavors and subdued malt flavors. Alcohol is very noticeable (and slightly harsh) and part of the flavor component when the beer is cold. Once it warms up, more malt and hop flavors are noticeable and after a few, you don't even taste the alcohol. Finishes dry with a dry hopped resiny mouthfeel. Not a bad beer, probably needs a little more time lagering (only lagered for 21 days according to the brewer) to round out the alcohol. Actually this is a very sessionable beer for an 8% pils. No headaches after consuming either.

3.7/5 rDev +7.9%
Dark golden straw color forms a small head with some nice looking lace left on the sides of the glass and that AB trademark--excellent continual carbonation.
Mild hoppy smell--definitely seems like noble hops and some honey like essence.
The taste is a pleasant blast of crisp lemonny and sugarry hops -- a good malt presence too. There is a bit of a pinch on the throat but it isnt anything too annoying.
There is a nice effervescernt mouthfeel but it finishes a too syrupy. Reasonably drinalkble for this style.
