ORRC Y2K9 Race Report
Posted Jan 11 2009 5:39pm
For those that want the numbers:
20.09K (12.48-miles) in 1:23:32 @ 6:41/m pace.
#1 Male Masters
#1 M40-44 Age Group
#6 Overall Finisher
For those that want the story:
Yesterday was the annual
Oregon Road Runner's Club Y2K
race in Forest Grove near my home. This is the 9th straight year I've run this race and its little twist is that each year it commemorates the New Year by getting .01K longer in distance. Last year it was 20.08K and this year it was 20.09K or 12.48-miles in distance. It's very low key, I know a lot of the other racers, and it is always a great way to kick off the New Year.
The weather at home on race morning was 26* and heavy fog with no wind which meant possible slick conditions. My daughter was also running it again this year (her 3rd time) so she, my beautiful wife, and I showed up at Tom McCall Middle School an hour before the race start and climbed out of the Outback and quickly realized the parking lot was an ice rink. This did not bode well for good course conditions. I was a bit disappointed as I had been looking forward to running this one hard and trying to once again win my Age Group (M40-44.) But I don't stress over things I can't control and one of those is the weather. We hung out a bit inside and waited for the start and tried to keep warm as it was still only 28* outside. My wife's good friend showed up and hung out with us as her son (Billy, Age Group M25-29) was also running the race and made it known that he wanted to beat me since I got him at the Portland Marathon last October. I also chatted with a friend of mine (Cormac) from my Saturday running group (The Mango Project.)
Close to race start time we all headed out to the start line on slippery sidewalks where I saw one person slip and fall. Not a good sign! Everyone was very careful in the crowd not to push or crowd too much since the road was very slick. I lined myself up about four rows back and took off when the Race Director hollered "Go!" Immediately it was apparent that the conditions were going to be dicey at the least. I did not want to fall and I did not want an injury so I backed off a bit and made very sure of my footing which isn't the fastest way to run a race! But everyone else was dealing with the same conditions so I made the best of it and just ran carefully.
Once outside of town and along Highway 47 we run on a biking/running path that was recently repaved and that was very slick. Some folks took to running along the soft gravel shoulder looking for traction and I still saw two runners go down. I backed off a little bit more and just focused on staying upright. Around mile 3 the race splits for the 20.09K and 10K runners and thins out as a result. I could see Billy up ahead not pulling away from me, but I wasn't gaining on him either. Once on to the back roads the conditions improved and there was still some gravel on the roads to run on and I was able to start picking the pace back up. Shortly after this the 20K and 10K merge for about a mile so I got to pass a lot of runners which is always a nice pick-me-up. After the races split again is the long out-and-back section on Stringtown Road. On the second big hill climb I got passed by a guy in red and he was running strong and I could see he was about my age so I didn't want him to get too far ahead of me. Near the turn-around I saw the lead runners and started my count to see where I was. Billy was running in 3rd place and hadn't gotten any further ahead of me, but I hadn't gained on him either. I was running in 8th place overall and still feeling pretty good. The pavement wasn't as slick as it was earlier so I began the chase of the two guys ahead of me and hoped I had time to catch them. About this time I saw Cormac then my daughter who I slapped gloves with on the way by. I went back to focusing on the two runners ahead of me and was pretty sure I could catch the guy in red, but wasn't sure about the guy in blue who was running in 6th. I picked up the pace as best I could and soon enough I was gaining. I went by the guy in red on one of the climbs and then was able to catch the next guy about a mile further up the road to move into 6th place overall. The 5th place guy (and Billy) was too far ahead with too little race course left to catch but I still pushed so the two I just passed couldn't pay me back. Soon enough I was climbing the longest and steepest hill of the course which is right at the end (who's idea was that?!) and a quarter of a mile later I ran by wife and her friend near the finish. Running down the finish chute stretch I ran by Billy who had just finished and with a grin he yelled, "that was for Portland!" and then I was done.
Although I couldn't quite catch Billy I feel pretty good about making him work so hard since I have 17 years on the young man. I told him to join us in Eugene for the marathon in May and we'll see if he can stay in front of me for 26 miles next time. Even with the slick conditions during the race I was able to finish only about a minute off my fastest time there and that race was .02K shorter so I'm happy with that. And finishing as the #1 Old Guy is always a nice way to start out the New Year!
Thanks for stopping by…

The Pretty Reckless are wrapping up a tour of Europe right now, getting ready to hit the states for a headlining tour this fall.

But for the rest of the world, where the NFL is just a dream, and all their best hockey players have left their respective countries to join the NHL, this soccer...uh, excuse me, FUTBOL...is a big deal.

Occupational Health and Safety is investigating after a volunteer firefighter died from a cardiac arrest while responding to a vehicle fire earlier this week.
According to a statement by Lac Ste. Anne County fire chief Randy Schroeder, 58-year-old Donald Bamber was among the firefighters responding to a vehicle fire on Highway 43 and Range Road 72 at about 9:30 on Aug. 6.
The statement says Bamber was transferring water between tanker trucks when "he suffered a medical emergency which resulted in fatal cardiac arrest." Emergency crews did CPR at the scene, but Bamber could not be revived and was pronounced dead in hospital.
Bamber has been a member of the Lac Ste. Anne County Fire Services District 4 (Sangudo) since May 2013, the statement says. His son and son-in-law are also members.
Municipal Affairs Minister Greg Weadick issued a statement Thursday saying he and Whitecourt-Ste. Anne MLA George VanderBurg were "both shocked and saddened by the loss."
"This is a poignant reminder that first responders risk their lives every day to keep Albertans safe," the statement read.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg knows how tough it is to quell a momentum shift and he was glad his 13th-ranked Cyclones succeeded in stemming Texas Tech's in a 73-62 victory Saturday.
No. 13 Iowa State beats Texas Tech 73-62
"I will say one of the hardest things to do in sports is to stop a momentum run and we found a way to do it and reverse it and finish out the game," Hoiberg said. "We allowed them an opportunity to get in the game. Texas Tech turned into the aggressive team that we had controlled for the first 20 minutes."
Georges Niang scored 17 points and Melvin Ejim added 16 to lead Iowa State, which extended its winning streak to a school record-tying 13 games.
DeAndre Kane had 15 points for the Cyclones (13-0, 1-0) in the Big 12 opener for both teams.
The win was the second in Lubbock for Iowa State in the past eight games.
Jaye Crockett had 20 points and 11 rebounds and Dusty Hannahs added 16 points to lead Texas Tech (8-6, 0-1).
The Cyclones came into the game averaging just over nine 3-pointers but managed only five against the Red Raiders. Texas Tech held Iowa State 15 points below its average.
Texas Tech tied the Cyclones at 50 on a 3-pointer by Crockett at 12:33 of the second half but the Red Raiders never took a lead.
Niang was 7 of 16 from the field and matched teammate Dustin Hogue with seven rebounds to lead the Cyclones.
Texas Tech outrebounded Iowa State, which came into the game second in the conference in rebounds (42.2), finishing with a 34-31 advantage. The Cyclones had 13 second-chance points to nine for the Red Raiders.
Hannahs saw small mistakes that took their toll.
"We feel like we can play with anybody, but just little errors is the fine line between winning and you can't make the mistakes," he said. "We've gotten a lot better at toning down our mistakes and turnovers but we've still got room for improvement."
The Cyclones' shooting waned in the second half and the Red Raiders opened the second half on a 14-4 run, including a 3-pointer and a dunk by Jordan Tolbert and two 3s by Hannahs, to whittle the lead to 46-40. The Cyclones made just two of their first 10 shots from the field in the second half.

2013 Infiniti G37 vs Audi S5 vs Volvo S60 0-60 MPH Mile High Mashup Review
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) The brand new 2013 Infiniti G37x, the Audi S5
Quattro and the Volvo S60 T5 AWD all have just thing in common; they are
all-wheel-drive cars. But perhaps more importantly these three car
represent three very different ways to achieve power. The new Infiniti G37x
is normally aspirated, while the Volvo S60 T5 is turbocharged and the Audi S5 Quattro is
supercharged. So of course we were curious which of these three cars is faster to 60 MPH @ 1 mile above sea
level. In the process of testing all three cars from 0-60 MPH we also
wanted to find out just how much a driver can really influence a cars

This morning on my way home from physical therapy I stopped at my favorite coffee shop, this young gal who I've been friends with for about 5 years wished me a Happy Valentines day so when I wished her on back I asked if her boyfriend was going to do anything special for her. She told me that she didn't have one let alone ever get a Valentine from anyone ever. After hearing this I decided to go to work a little early and I picked up a bunch of flowers for her. She broke down in tears when I gave her the flowers. I'm glad I took the time to do this; I know it made her day.

I purchased this quilt for our guestroom. It is beautiful. The colors are rich and vibrant and to me look exactly as pictured. I paired the quilt with navy blue sheets and bedskirt and couldn't be happier. It is exactly the look I was going for. This is a good quality quilt at a great price. This is the 5th quilt I have purchased from Overstock and I have been happy with each and every one. All the beds in our home and beach cabin have quilts on them I purchased from Overstock. It was important to me that the quilts I used be easy to wash often and these did not disappoint. They do great in the washer and dryer.
I was extremely delighted when I opened the package and saw the bright, beautiful combination of blues in this quilt. The quilt is a very nice weight, and my son loves it. The only reason I didn't rate it a "5" overall is that I have found several loose threads since having it on the bed for a couple of weeks now.
A great summer weight, vibrant and bold colors. It has washed very well.
My boys have bunk beds with a full sized on bottom and a twin on top. I have thought about getting these matching quilts for about a year and finally got them to update their old bedding (the boys are now 7 and 9 years old). I love these quilts. They are nice quality and perfect for their room. They mature it nicely and just look very classy!
I bought two quilt sets for my boys bunk beds; they are soft & cozy yet not too bulky so it's still easy to make the bed! They washed very well and make a great, much more expensive prsentation. The patterns of stripes & plaids are very much like a patchwork quilt; only these are constucted vertically. We love them!!
This quilt set is awesome! It looks classy, crisp and clean. It washes well and is an incredible value! I would buy it again and would definitly recommend to a friend. Same quality as *** and a quarter of the price!
A great looking quilt set. It looks just like the picture. It is light weight but warm enough for cool (not very cold) weather. The stripes are very masculine so it would be great for a boy's room. I'm very pleased with the quality and the price.
This quilt is so soft and fits my queen sized bed nicely. Impressed with the brightness of the blue and the stitching is well done. Great summer/spring comforter for the bed!!
I purchased this for my sons room. Nice inexpensive set to complete the nautical theme I have. For the price you can't go wrong. It's light weight. I accent it with red and it all pulled together nicely.
Good quality, feels nice, looks great - we're very happy with this purchase!

Phoenix's stepfather too angry, inquiry told
Probation officer feared being alone with him
Phoenix Sinclair's stepfather/murderer was such a volatile and angry man, his probation officer didn't want be alone in a room with him.
"My concern was he might be violent in my office," Miriam Browne testified Wednesday at the inquiry into the death of the little girl in care.
Request to subpoena welfare records denied
A request to subpoena the welfare records of the woman who cared for Phoenix Sinclair during most of the little girl's short life was denied by the man heading the inquiry into her death.
Justice Ted Hughes Wednesday turned down the lawyer representing several child-welfare authorities. Kris Saxberg asked for the information last week after Kim Edwards' testimony conflicted with testimony from her ex-husband, Rohan Stephenson.
The couple who cared for Phoenix most of the time since she was born in 2000 separated in 2002. Edwards said she lived in their Selkirk Avenue home when Winnipeg Child and Family Services approved it as an official place of safety for Phoenix in 2003. Stephenson told the inquiry earlier he was living in the home at that time and Edwards was not but she still picked up her mail there, including welfare cheques.
Saxberg told the inquiry last week he wanted to see her welfare records to clarify who was living in the home. On Wednesday, Hughes said Edwards' employment and income assistance records were irrelevant to the purpose of the inquiry.
"...More importantly, this inquiry is not a trial and neither Kim Edwards nor Rohan Stephenson are on trial," Hughes said.
The former probation officer with the domestic violence unit is now the registrar-executive director of the Manitoba Institute of Registered Social Workers. Browne testified about legislation to regulate the social work profession in Manitoba and her role as Karl McKay's probation officer in 1999.
In 2011, the province ordered an inquiry to examine how Phoenix fell through Manitoba's child welfare safety net. Phoenix's mother, Samantha Kematch, and her boyfriend, McKay, killed Phoenix in 2005 but her death wasn't discovered until 2006. They were convicted of first-degree murder in 2008.
Long before meeting Kematch, McKay was a violent man known to Child and Family Services, said his former probation officer, who recalled meeting him more than a decade ago.
"I certainly felt that day that he was a very angry person and that my safety was at risk, and that it would not be safe for one individual to meet with him in the future," said Browne.
She wrote a warning letter to Child and Family Services about McKay, who was on probation for beating his former spouses.
It said he was at a "high risk to reoffend in a violent fashion" and that children have been present when he was violent.
"We have serious concern for the safety of (the woman) and her children," the letter said.
The inquiry has heard that when Phoenix's mother resumed caring for the four-year-old in 2004, Kematch told a CFS social worker her boyfriend was a trucker who stayed with her when he was in Winnipeg. That man was McKay, but the CFS intake worker didn't ask for his name or check to see if he had any prior involvement with the agency.
Browne testified she wrote the letter to CFS about McKay because he was such a threat and she wanted to make sure CFS knew that.
"Its purpose was to formally document our concerns to the child-welfare agency responsible for dealing with his significant other and their children."

From 1972
"Part of the Union" is a song by English band Strawbs featured on their 1973 album Bursting at the Seams and was the band's most successful single, peaking at number 2 in the UK Singles Chart. The writing credits are given to Richard Hudson and John Ford, but the song may be an adaptation of the Woody Guthrie/Almanac Singers' song "Union Maid". The lyrical resemblance is striking although it is set to different music.

EASTCHESTER, N.Y. – Students in Eastchester, Bronxville and Scarsdale who need to work on their arithmetic skills will soon have a new place to learn.
Mathnasium, a math-only learning center for children of all ages, is coming to the Scarsdale-Eastchester town line. It will open in April at 747 White Plains Road. It will help students up to Grade 12 refine and boost their math skills.
The classes can help in everyday life, not just math class, said Shane Bland, center director with Mathnasium of Scarsdale.
"Having a strong educational foundation is paramount to success in all areas of life," he said. "Our aim is to provide that foundation for each and every one of our 'mathletes.' [We] will provide both instruction and practice, all in a welcoming, comfortable environment."
In addition to tutoring, homework help and test preparation will also be available. Mathnasium's approach is to first determine a student's aptitude and then tailor a personalized learning program specific to that student.
The program's goal is to increase a student's math skills, understanding of mathematical concepts and overall school performance while building confidence and a positive attitude toward the subject, Bland said.
"I am very excited to see each and every one of our students reach for and attain their personal best and am here to cheer them on each step of the way," he said. "Our goal is to eliminate the confusion and intimidation that often accompanies the subject of math and replace it with understanding and passion."

For all that's been said about customer experience management, customer loyalty, and engagement, there's a simple statement that explains what's happening today that's so different from the past:
The customer is becoming increasingly digitally defined.
Both people and machines are creating data about themselves and their circumstances at a rapidly increasing rate. That information includes location, sentiment, preferences, and a host of other factors. That data forms patterns that reveal even more information about a customer than can be seen at first glance.
If a customer feels that a brand offers better engagement and choices because of that digital definition, they'll be willing consent to data being collected and put to use. They'll gladly take part in customer loyalty programs if they see a two-way street of value exchange between themselves and a brand.
That Gives Us Two Choices
Some brands understand that and are taking the steps to digitally define customers by capturing an increasing amount of information that data starts as real-time data and gives context to in-the-moment engagement. After the moment has passed, that same data becomes a part of a historical record of interaction, used to segment the customer base and create propensity models that analyze when and why a customer is most likely to buy, tweet, or attrite. It is a virtuous cycle.
The alternative to becoming digitally savvy is to rely on impersonal offers for discounts made to an anonymous audience. There will likely always be a market for the impersonal, but that market is a hotly competitive place where price is the only driver and increasing volume is the only path to success. This is a vicious cycle. Is that where you want to be?

With pressure mounting on organisations to reduce their environmental impact, sustainability is still high on the corporate IT agenda, despite the challenging economy. Although interest in green IT is growing, the impact of printing is often overlooked. However, left uncontrolled, it can be a huge source of waste – both financial and environmental. A "less-paper" office based on an optimised print infrastructure can be a prime enabler for sustainability. Using intelligent print management and document workflow tools can enable organisations to significantly reduce their environmental impact while cutting costs, driving operational efficiency and improving regulatory compliance.

ASIA/PHILIPPINES - The Bishops: No to the restoration of the death penalty
Manila (Agenzia Fides) - The Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines on Wednesday July 2, reiterated its opposition to restore the death penalty. In the note sent to Fides, the Bishops recall the Gospel passage in which Jesus says, "I came that they may have life, and have it to the full" (Jn 10:10) and say: "Our posture cannot be otherwise". However, they explain, the position they take is defensible even on non-religious grounds.
In fact, " justice does not demand the death penalty, adding a mature sense of justice steers as far as possible from retribution in the realization that visiting on an offender the same injury he inflicted on his victim makes matters no better at all for anyone". Instead "justice aims to restore broken relations and the ruptured social coherence that follow from crime". "Executing a human person, they say, does not contribute to any of these goals of justice. In fact, it is a weak and retrogressive legal order that calls for the execution of offenders for its vindication".
The Bishops define capital punishment "cruel and inhuman", firstly for the anxiety and psychological distress that come on one who awaits the moment of execution. Secondly, the relatives of the condemned persons, many times including children, are stigmatized for life. The text recalls that every judicial system "is, like all human systems, liable to error. But the death penalty, once executed, is irreversible and no repentance or regret can ever make up for the horrible injustice of a person wrongfully executed".
Meanwhile, the CBCP said the Philippines is a state party of the Second Optional Protocol of the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. As such, it said the principal obligation it assumed under this international agreement is to abolish the death penalty.
While saying they "are rightly appalled by the heinous nature of some crimes committed today", but the moral, Christian and mature response to this common social challenge is in the prevention of crime and in testifying against wrong-doers, for law-enforcers to be more vigilant and dedicated to their bounden duties, for prosecutors and courts to be resolute in the prosecution of offenders, and in the trial of those accused.
