-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------PR's: 5K - 17:11, 10K - 35:09, HM - 1:15:37, M - 2:46:39
MEO85 - congrats on the 2nd OA! I find it surprising that your 10K divided by 2 is much faster than your 5K time, I kind of think you are more like 15.XX something guy. Re Mileage Tracker - sorry, but that is the rule, as soon as you are in, there is no way out So, better contribute something, than nothing .
pbrickley - I haven't done specific 5K training yet (I wanted to, but every time find a reason not to ), but the link to Magness article is the most widely used link to 5K training around these forums, so, it should definitely be legit. Good luck with coming 5K PRs!
Thanks! I didn't even realize that. I guess I may be loosing some fitness. The 10K PR was run in Central Park a few weeks before Boston when the temps were lower and it was a course I know well. This 5K was hot and had a pretty serious hill at mile 2.25, which I did not expect considering almost all the race was run along the beach. But no excuses, I should have just ran faster...
Well the plan is to hopefully get 50+ miles in this week, but then its another lower mileage week because I have the Fairfield Half on 6/22.
Wingking: Good to turn a negative into a positive. Good luck with the weight. I'm trying not to gain weight...I have a coworker with a habit of bringing in donuts and pressuring everyone to order out for lunch-not helpful. How tall are you at 188lbs?
Wingking - so, you r mental toughness lasted for exactly 1.75 miles? Next time you better prolong it until 2 - 2.25 mi range .
4:30: Thanks. I'm 5'-11". My coworkers are the same way, so I hear ya on that one. They have recently framed me as the crazy amount of running/health nut guy, so that helps a little with the pressure. It's all relative, right?
Cal: Haha, it's fair. I'll take it. If I'm following you're training for the last few weeks, I would expect 5 runs this week at 18.2 mi each (7 HM in 7 days, 6 equivalent distance in 6 days, etc.). Whatever you are up to, keep it up, those are some monster back to back weeks you are posting.
5k: 20:33 (2012) | 10k: 42:25 (2014) | Half: 1:33:57 (2014) | Full: 3:24:27 (2015)
PB's last 12 months:
5k 18:30; 10k 38:40; 1/2M 1:24:50; FM 2:59:34
Calbearsfan, am I doing the math wrong? MEO's 10k/2 is 17:34 vs 17:11 for his recent 5k. His 5k is a little soft compared to his 10k, but not by a lot. His 5k and 10k are both very soft compared to his HM. Also, I don't know if I mentioned it, but that was a great week. Your consistency really is inspiring. I hope to leverage that to put up some good miles for the east this week
pbrickley - by inflexible, you mean not adding workouts that I enjoy? I never thought of it that way, but it makes sense. I am very injury conscious and conservative with my mileage increase, so yes, I'm keeping the miles easy right now while I'm ramping up my mileage a bit. It's a very small jump, but I'm feeling pretty fatigued for some reason - I'm going from a 60 mpw average for my Boston cycle, trying to get somewhere between 65 and 70 for the current half marathon cycle I'm in. Most of you guys would do that increase without missing a beat, but I find it pretty hard. I think I've got some sort of inherent laziness that most marathoners don't have.
Slammin - The easy needs your miles!
My week. Notice the awesome 8:31 average pace. I suck.
(The 72.1 is Sun-Sat, but I do Mon-Sun for the mileage tracker contest and didn't run on Sunday, thus the 65.6 for the official tally)
PR's: 5K - 17:16, 10K - 37:06 (HM Split), HM - 1:18:14, M - 2:55:58

I don't think anyone doubts your superior knowledge of soft 10k PRs.

Shout out challenge:
Runmaple, solid week but careful with that foot after last spring, lol on the soft 10k prs.
Mkerikss I'm also considering a GPS upgrade, so keep us posted.
Nice weeks Nils (careful with the leg..) Dtothe2nd, Swim, Thomas, Relentless, Calvinist, Lightning, Curb, Tatted, LFP and Comstock everyone around here is putting in solid training.
NACN I'm impressed with how you are pacing all the time. It is nice of you to help people meet their goals.
Cal going bigger and bigger week after week. That is practically a long run every day for 6 days in a row. Whats next, 18 in singles for 6 days in a row?
Multi and Swamp nice weeks and working races in. You have me tempted to do a mile Swamp, but I have no idea how I would do or how to pace it.
Jacob good luck with the start of your 18 week plan.
Gershwine impressive recovery from the tooth incident-a quick 11 after the dentist..was your mouth still numb?
Frank I think it is time for you to run some fast stuff.
Meo great 5k and congrats on the placing.
Sorry if I missed anyone, this thread is packed full.
So I don't think I am going to taper very much. I feel like I am recovering really fast these days. I will probably still get close to 60 this week and then taper harder the last 6 days before my race. Really I am just enjoying running too much right now with the beautiful summer weather and the results I've been getting. Thoughts? Calbearsfan am I correct in remembering that you still ran about 70 the second week before Boston?
Workouts don't make you faster or stronger. Recovering from workouts makes you faster and stronger.
Best Races: Full: 2:52:06 (6/14), Half: 1:22:00.8 (5/14), 10K: 38:09 (3/13), 5K: 17:55 (6/14).
Maple - why don't you have a 5k on your signature?
4thirty - I ran my PR half marathon at the end of a 70 mile week (just shy of a record week for me). I don't think it affected my race, but do think it may have led to the minor injuries I fought through at the end of my Boston cycle.
everyone - I know galloway doesn't get featured on the sub 3 thread very often, but does anyone here do anything like the "magic mile" - basically a short time trial once a month to get a feel for fitness? What's the protocol re previous day(s) efforts and warm up etc?
I just ran in the heat. It was hot. 4 hours later, I'm still sweating. Afterburn?!?
I have a dream, do you have a dream? Make your dreams come true.

MEO has an embarrassing marathon PR on his sig line....I couldn't be bothered working out if his 5k could/should have been faster...I don't care.
This is a sub2:50/3:00 marathon thread.
PRs - 10k - 36:52 (7/11) Half - 1:21:37 (2/11) Mary - 2:51:20 (4/13)
Jackfrost -- congrats on the race. That is an amazing accomplishment.
MEO: congrats on the 5k.
The rest of you: some pretty remarkable training going on around here.
I'm afraid I'm not much help for team east. I ran 32.3 miles last week:
Mon: 5 easy + 3 x 8-10 second hill sprints
Tues: 5 easy
Wed: 5 easy
Thurs: 5 easy, + 3 x 8-10 second hill sprints, + 1.8 mile cooldown (run home from the hill).
Fri: Off
Saturday: 5K race (1st place overall in what amounted to a bad junior varsity race), + .4 mile warmup
Sun: 7 miles
So, I'm going to weigh myself every sunday morning before my "long" run during this 5K cycle. Yesterday, I tipped the scales at 177.2 pounds, with body fat of 15.1% (I have one of those body fat scales, who knows how accurate it really is). That is over 12 pounds higher than when I set my marathon, half-marathon, 10k, and 5k PRs. The weigh-in confirmed what I already know: I'm a fatass right now. I'm going to keep posting my weight and body fat in an effort to shame myself into improving both.
PRs: Marathon: 2:58:30 (Chicago 2013); Half-Marathon: 1:22:48 (9/13); 10K: 37:18 (5/13); 5K: 17:57 (7/13)
Trying something new guys; no days off. Time to beat that lazy Western mentality out of me and adopt a more Eastern mindset .
Thanks Frank! Your math is totally correct but I think I saw 17:52 on MEO's 5K signature line, I may be was dizzy, but that why I thought relation between 10K/5K was kind of strange, and yes - especially comparing to his amazing half time. Re sub 3:10 goal - oh, come on - just run easy, try to enjoy, maybe cut the mileage a little bit more to enjoy it more - it will come back, the urge, usually comes back... And what with not running Fall marathon? Why? That is the best time for you easterners to set PRs, not spring, but fall.
430 - yes, I ran 71 mi the second week before Boston and then - 26 mi the week of the race (I cut all the quality runs 10-11 days off the race day, except short 1-2 mi @ MP and drills). I am still experimenting to find best taper scenario.
ChicagoJP - good luck with the weight loss, I think most of us need to work hard on that - because it's a secret weapon to get faster .
Thanks Frank! Your math is totally correct but I think I saw 17:52 on MEO's 5K signature line
My fault, you did see 17:52, I think I changed the signature line to 17:11 between you and Frank's responses. And yes Mikkey I know my Marathon PR needs some work...
Wingking, good idea on adding weight to the weeklies. I went back and edited mine, I'm at 186, on my way down to 170 by November for Richmond. I was 195 at my marathon in March. I'm 6'. I figure a solid training cycle and 25lbs of weight loss should make for some good results.
Hill sprints will not be happening tomorrow night. I twisted my left ankle pretty good yesterday, stepped off the deck and right into a hole. I think it's going to be ok, swelling has gone down almost back to normal and there's only a minor twinge in certain positions, no real pain, no bruising. Plan for today was an easy recovery run anyway, so I'll see how it feels this evening. But I figure hill sprints probably aren't a good idea. I'll wait till it's 100% before doing sprints.
_____________________- Dave - My running log My running blog2015 Goals | sub-18 5k | sub-37 10k | sub-1:23 HM | sub-4 trail 50k
Wow. frank had the last laugh in this one - I just went and signed up for a 5k on June 22nd, then realized that I'm out of the country as the transaction went through. What a complete moron I am. $15 - poof.
As an aside, anyone got a good running route in Claremont, CA? Or alternatively, tips on how to survive 97F?
I'm a fatass right now.
Ditto. I've had zero self-discipline diet-wise since I ran that sub-3.
My running isn't going too well either; it's a bit depressing reading about all the high mileage most of you put in.
Mon: 12K easy + 20 min. weights
Tue: Unscheduled lazy day
Wed: 25 min. weights + 10K easy barefoot
Thu: 15.5K with 3x2K @ 3:53 min/k
Fri: 14K easy + 35 min. weights
Sat: 6K easy barefoot
Sun: 48K cycling + 20 min. weights
Total: 58K / 36 miles running
The intervals Thursday was probably a bad idea 'cause my left shin was pretty sore afterwards. I thought I'd beat those damn shin problems, but maybe the two all-out marathons in a month are to blame. I have a 10K race on Friday, but something tells me I shouldn't actually race it - maybe just do it in like 45 minutes. I've paid for it so it'd be a shame not to show up.
PR: 5km 18.34 - 10km 38.43 - HM 1.28.00 - M 2.59.07 (Copenhagen '14)http://www.endomondo.com/profile/4895378http://www.worldrunning.com/user/steentoudal/ranking/
I can see Frank Bonelli Regional Park there - there should be pretty awesome running there, plus few miles north there are some mountains, I believe - should be plenty of trail routes there. Maybe try strava.com or mapmyrun.com and find what people are running there. Re surviving in the heat - maybe try to run in a forest under the trees?
Yeah, the strava heatmap finds the same two options.
It seems like those are the only two places people run. I guess they're all driving to get there too. Also, it sounds stupid but I didn't realize LA was so big. That sprawl is ridiculous.
You've ran a sub 3 marathon before. You should be a Stud able to do North of 70+ miles on a weekly basis; what seems to be the problem?
frank lol you need a vacation, I suggest a week on Nils's couch.
Chasing 2:45:xx / 1:17:xx
I'm not sure this comment is addressed to me, but my post is linked, so I'll answer it anyway. I've never run more than 70 miles in a week. Even leading up to both of my sub-3 marathons, I only hit 70 miles a week twice, and never exceeded it. To many people in this thread, 70 miles a week is child's play. But for me, who never was a runner growing up or during my 20s (I was a college baseball player, actually, and a pretty good one if I don't say so myself), that's a lot of miles.
Running is a hobby for me, and an incredibly selfish one at that. I'm married and I have a five month old kid, and I love spending time with my family. I also work about 70 to 80 hours a week. So, I get up at between 4:30 and 5:00 a.m. six days a week to run, because that is the only time of day I can squeeze in a run. And, I like to have fun when I do have the time, so I drink beer and eat some crappy food some times without worrying about how all those calories are killing my race performances (which they clearly are).
I guess you could put it this way: running isn't anywhere near my top priority, and it isn't moving up the priority list anytime soon. That's probably why I've only run 2:58:30, while others here (many of whom put in many more miles and/or supplemental training than me) have run significantly faster (and deservedly so).
But you know what, I'm not winning a marathon or any other race of significance anytime soon. I run to stay relatively healthy and have somewhat of a competetive outlet (even if it is just me competing against myself). And I'm comfortable with that.
It was actually for Steen, but thanks for answering anyway. Feels good to me to know that a hobbyist runner still was able to run a sub 3 marathon. That's awesome. I too drink beer and eat some crappy food sometimes; Curs Light is refreshing.
Based on your results at Boston I would say that worked pretty well for you, so I am going to copy you (with 60 instead of 70 as your mileage is always higher than mine) My last quality except for the 1-2 at MP and drills will be Wednesday. This is the magic of this forum.
I celebrated my race this weekend with Milwaukee's Best Light. Great refreshing beer. Four of them. And I ate McDonald's twice, but who's counting...
Last week totals:
Tuesday: 10.6 tempo w/ 2x22 minutes at an avg 6:27 per mile.
Wednesday: 5.3 recovery pushing baby in stroller (8:50 per mile)
Thursday: 10.6 mile trail run
Friday: 5.3 Recovery (8:45 per mile)
Saturday: 16.6 miles (7:49 pace) Breathing very easy, knees and feet started to ache at about 12
Sunday: Kid's birthday party- off+ beer and eating very poorly
Monday: 10.1 mile trail run- felt great
58.5 total miles. First time running 50 plus miles in consecutive weeks and this was my second largest total miles in a week. Think I pushed too much on my tempo run...IT band and knee bugged me for three days after so I really kept my paces down for the rest of the week. Keeping my paces down really seemed to keep my legs much more fresh.
Second half marathon of the season this coming weekend....
PR's: Half marathon: 1:26.08 (5-18-14) Marathon 3:18.22 (Oct-11) Ironman 10:57.12 (marathon split of 3:29) Half iron 4:57.03
2014 Goals: 2:59.59 at Fox Cities Marathon Run 1750 miles
Ok guys, talk to me about ankle sprains. Turns out there is some bruising, which now has me a little concerned. There is still some swelling too. No pain when walking, going up/down stairs, or standing. Mild discomfort (I call it a twinge) in certain positions when rotating my foot, but no loss of range of motion. I'm not a doctor, and I've never played one on tv, but I'm pretty sure nothing is torn. I would expect pain when walking, under weight, etc. if something was torn, right? I don't want to waste a trip to the doctor just to be told what I already know, that it's sprained. I have no problem resting it, just want to alleviate my minor fear that I did some actual damage. I'm going to skip my run today, might even just take the week off to be safe (I'm going to visit my brother for a few days, gonna hang out on the lake on his boat, so it's actually the perfect time to not run for a bit). Not really worried about my fitness or training, since I'm in the middle of base building and still five weeks out from starting my Pfitz plan. I'd rather be 100% for the start of marathon training, than still nursing a sore ankle. Thoughts?
Sounds like a minor sprain. If you have some bruising then there is some minor tearing--brusing is blood from damaged tissue-but if you can walk and go up stairs fine you will recover on your own-nothing is torn through or seriously. You might want to pick up an ankle brace from a pharmacy and wear it for the week to make sure you don't injure it further. I think taking the week off is a great idea given the timing.
PS I am not a doctor and I have little idea what I am talking about.
Hahaha, nice! We just may be long lost brothers. There's just something so American about simple domestic beers.
I sprained my ankles numerous times in the Marine Corps, that now I think I'm immune to them.
The secret weapon or wunderwaffe: reduce weight and train more, run more miles. I've also got to watch my weight. A strict runners diet is called for to cut the fat. A vertical hyphen is lighter and will run faster.
I have a colleague at work, she has an elite runners body, she is so thin. It's about eating the right stuff. There is a good article on RWOL,on the best foods for runners. I noticed in my 100+ mile week that I needed some meat and hence ate some fresh, raw pigs liver. It was disgusting, but I did it for the iron.
Here is my runners diet list:Bananas, start every meal with 3 bananas and 3 apples. That basically will be your meal.
Rice, the world's best marathon runners eat rice as prerace mealQuinoa
MuesliChia SeedsWaterMilk for the protein shakesSalmonBismark Herring, omega 3 like salmon
Fresh raw pigs liver, iron overlordChicken
EggsLow fat joghurt 1.5% fat
Dark chocolate
No alcohol/drugs/medication.Chocolate milkCoffee
I have been drinking club mate, this is a caffeine energy drink from Berlin. I hope I am not developing a caffeine dependency.
The quantities are also important, eat the right stuff and reduce the quantities. Strict application of the diet, zero tolerance for deviations. I still have 10 pounds to reduce. Slowly and easily.
Pain is temporary, pride lasts forever. Until the next race. :-)
Beer, is everybody aware that beer makes fat? dumb? lazy? Like the Westerners, they drink too much beer. That's why we will clobber them in this Mile Challenge.
Also beer weakens the humans, that's why there was a time when alcohol was prohibited. For a good reason.
I suggest everybody on this thread cut the beer and cut the fat. Yeahhhh.
Chicago JP - basically you just described the situation for 99% runners on this board. We all have children, many of us work longer hours (in software it's pretty much standard situation), for all of us running is not a way to earn money and it's just a hobby, we all enjoy spending time with family and kids, we all absolutely love good beer and BBQ. So, what is the issue again?
60-70 mi per week is plenty, don't try to make it sound like nothing - just share this number with basically anybody who is thinking about running their first HM or FM and wait for their reaction. Again - 60 mi is plenty. If you think about it, I just added 30 minutes a day running to get to 80-90 miles range, so, I am waking up at 5am now instead of 5:30-5:40 am previously to accommodate additional mileage. Yes, I enjoy running, but, like in your case - it's not a number 1 priority, like you trying to make it sound for everybody who runs higher than you mileage. It's just a hobby, it's not my life. Seriously...
430 - if you want totally duplicate my last taper week, do couple of MP miles on Wednesday, easy run with some strides on Thursday, take day off on Friday, run easy 3-3.5 miles on Saturday .
Only problem is my marathon is on Saturday, so I will just move that up a day. Thanks!
I'm cutting the fat, but I'm keeping the beer. I've given up a lot of things to drop from 270lbs to where I'm at now, but life is too short to give up beer. It's also too short to drink crappy beer, so I'll take a few extra calories for good beer.

A Mesa police officer was treated at Banner Gateway Medical Center for cuts on his head following a struggle with a suspect in a shoplifting incident on Saturday who was able to wrestle a Taser away from the officer.
Jason Roberts, 38, was arrested on suspicion of three counts of aggravated assault, possession of dangerous drugs and shoplifting about 11 p.m. after officers responded to a shoplifting call at Ulta Salon, 1614 S. Signal Butte Road.
As police questioned Roberts inside the store, he tried to run toward the front door, and as an officer was trying to block the front door, Roberts ran into him, knocking them both over and causing the officer to cut his head. After other officers on the scene caught up to Roberts, they also struggled with him and attempted to activate their Taser on him. However, Roberts was able to take the Taser away from one of the officers before they were able to get it back as two officers simultaneously stunned him, police said.
Roberts was taken to Mountain Vista Hospital before he was booked, police said.

The Raptors continue their season long six-game homestand with a matchup against a horrible Bobcats team that always seems to give Toronto problems.
Archive for the 'Charlotte Bobcats' Category
Game Thread: Raptors (13-22) vs. Bobcats (9-25)
Posted by Joseph Casciaro under Charlotte Bobcats, Game thread on Jan 11, 2013
Game Thread: Raptors (3-8) @ Bobcats (5-4)
Posted by Joseph Casciaro under Charlotte Bobcats, Game thread on Nov 21, 2012
Start time: 7:00 PM ET
Channel: Sportsnet
Probable starting lineups
Toronto: Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Dominic McGuire, Andrea Bargnani, Jonas Valanciunas (I'm just assuming that with a game under his belt, Lowry takes back his rightful place as a starter over the defensively inept Jose Calderon)
Charlotte: Kemba Walker, Jeffery Taylor, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Byron Mullens, Brendan Haywood
Injury report
Toronto: Landry Fields and Alan Anderson remain out
Charlotte: Ben Gordon is questionable, while Gerald Henderson and Tyrus Thomas are out long term
Random Thoughts
- The Bobcats are a surprising 5-4, but if you've actually watched them play this season, you'll know that they're not that much better than their historically bad team from last season. They've beaten the Pacers, Mavericks, winless Wizards and overachieving Bucks in Charlotte, while beating the Timberwolves in Minnesota on a nasty crossover and game winning shot from Kemba Walker. I have a feeling this Bobcats team will be much like the 2010-11 Cavaliers team, which started 5-5 and played well enough to open the season before finishing 19-63.
- Kemba Walker is off to a great start in his sophomore season, averaging 18.8 points, 5.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 steals in over 36 minutes per game. If Lowry still isn't ready to log big minutes and Calderon ends up guarding Walker for the majority of the night, I could see the Bobcats adding to Toronto's embarrassment.
- I'm also a big fan of No. 2 overall pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who continues to expend every ounce of energy while he's on the floor, just as he did as a star on Kentucky's national championship team. While I continue to make fun of the Bobcats (how can you not?), I actually think they have a couple of long term pieces in Walker and MKG.
- I'm curious to see whether the loss in Philly was some sort of last straw for Dwane Casey in terms of shying away from Valanciunas in crunch time, but I highly doubt it. No matter how well JV is playing, he'll likely always lose fourth quarter minutes to Andrea Bargnani and Amir Johnson this season, even when they don't deserve those minutes ahead of him. Personally, I'd like to see what Amir and Jonas could do together for a stretch.
- I'm still steaming over last night's meltdown in Philadelphia, and a win against Charlotte won't change that, but it is a necessary result if this Raptors team wants to go anywhere this season. A win might not cure our frustration, but a loss to the Bobcats might send us all spiraling into a sports-induced depression. I'm predicting a Raptors win tonight, but I am in no way ready to call it a sure thing, as the Raptors are very capable of more disappointment.
- Ramon Sessions apparently forgot that he plays for the Bobcats, and that no team in the NBA, no matter how bad, is a game the Bobcats "should" win
Ramon Sessions calls Toronto's visit to Charlotte on Wednesday "a game that we should get."

Looking For Value At the Air Canada Centre
Posted by Joseph Casciaro under Charlotte Bobcats, Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat on Sep 07, 2012
As the discussion intensifies and the anticipation builds with the season inching closer (24 days until training camp), it's usually around this time that fans begin to peruse the schedule in search of games they'll try to land tickets for. It's also around this time that fellow season seat holders begin trying to narrow down their list of games they want additional tickets for.
On Thursday, Raptors season seat holders received an email that included the details of the 2012-13 tiered pricing at the Air Canada Centre.
There will be five tiers this season: Best Value, Value, Premium, Premium+ and Super Premium. Here's which visiting teams fit into each category.

Great free to play course. Moderate difficulty and a good variety of holes. One inherant design flaw is that everything plays either to the left or right of a central open area, so on busy days you can get jammed up in the middle with 3 holes that effect play there, especially since you have to cross the 1st fairway to get back to the car once you finish the round. The river can be a factor on a few holes which keeps things interesting

Check out David Hawk's "Return to Dominance." Watch the progress of 12 teenage athletes in the "Realizing the Dream" Which NASCAR pit crew will win the GNC Live Well Challenge?
Much of the scientific fine print relating to MSMs many healing mechanisms still needs to be determined, but we know from clinical experience that it provides major pain relief, says Jacob, co-author of The Miracle of MSMThe Natural Solution for Pain (G.P. Putnams Sons, 1999). Jacob has been using MSM clinically for 20 yearslonger than any other physician. He points out that MSM has many of the properties of DMSO (dimethyl sufoxide), a therapeutic agent used worldwide for painful and inflammatory conditions. Since the 1960s, DMSO has been used by thousands of athletes and trainers to effectively reduce pain, inflammation and recovery time from injuries.
Over the years in his clinic, Jacob has used both DMSO and MSM for athletic injuries, strained or cramped muscles and overextended joints. He has found that many people do not continue using DMSO because of its annoying, oyster-like odor. MSM does not have the odor, which makes it attractive for long-term use.Recovery is enchanced in a big way, which is a great benefit for people pushing their bodies to the max day after day.In recent years, with interest growing in alternative medicine and natural remedies, MSM has emerged from relatively limited clinical usage into mainstream use as a nutritional supplement. Word has spread like a tidal wave about its ability to deliver relief for chronic pain and many inflammatory and allergic conditions. In 1999, the wave reached the fitness and athletic world.
It is beneficial in a big way, says Scott Magers, 35, of Irvine, Calif., a personal trainer and former collegiate baseball coach who lectures widely on sports nutrition.
I have trained with weights since 1979 at a very intense level, he says, and there has never been a time after doing heavy leg work that there wasnt some stiffness and soreness the next day ... until MSM came along. After only a day or two, I experienced a significant decrease in muscle soreness. This effect has continued ever since I began using MSM daily more than a year and a half ago.
Magers now regards MSM as the most effective supplement he has ever taken. And I have taken a lot of supplements, he is quick to note. With most supplements, I could never really tell the difference. With this one, I can tell a difference. I simply dont have muscle soreness, or all the aches and pains that go along with being a bodybuilder.
The effect of MSM has enabled him to increase the intensity of training, including his cardiovascular program. The MSM has reduced the usual aftereffects so significantly that sometimes I feel I havent even worked out, Magers says. I squat 395 lb, do lunges and dead lifts. I am training at a very intense level, so for me to notice as significant a change as thisthat is, no sorenesshas been the biggest breakthrough in all my years of weight training.
Usually, when you do heavy rep sets, whether its squats, chest or back routines, you have a burning feeling as you get to the fourth, fifth or sixth rep. The burn is from the buildup of lactic acid. But it is significantly reduced with MSM. As a result of not having that burn, you can do an extra rep or two. And the next day, you have considerably less soreness. Recovery is dramatically enhanced.
The debilitating lactic-acid buildup occurs in muscle cells when glucose and glycogen are burned for energy in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic metabolism). This buildup leads to fatigue, muscle pain and an inability to continue muscle contractions.
The painful consequence of all-out effort is known as delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Weekend warriors experience it, as do people who, after months or years of inactivity, jump into an exercise program and overdo it. Even experienced weight lifters can get DOMS when they increase the intensity of their workouts or incorporate new exercises into their routines. This sudden or excessive stress is thought to cause trauma to the microscopic protein filaments inside the muscle fibers as well as the connective tissues. This damage is believed to irritate local nerve endings and trigger pain. There may also be localized rupture of tiny blood vessels and subsequent inflammation, adding to the discomfort.MSM is a derivative of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), which is made from wood fiber. One-third of MSM by weight is biologically active sulfur. Sulfur has a long tradition of healing, and throughout history, physicians have prescribed sulfur hot springs to their infirm patients.
MSM has many benefits. It:
Magers usually takes 6 gm (6,000 mg) of MSM before and after a workout. He increases the dosage to 8 gm on days of particularly heavy leg lifting, and drops down to 4 or 5 gm on lighter shoulder days. On days when he doesnt work out, he takes 5 gm in the morning and 5 gm again at night.
This level works very well for my body, and is working for many of the athletes I talk to as well, but it may not be appropriate for everybody, he says.
According to Magers, some individuals have developed a slight headache when they first start taking MSM but they feel great afterward. Some athletes who previously were taking steroids or other drugs may experience nausea or flu-like symptoms for a day or two. There may be some detoxification process going on in the beginning, he suggests.
Mike Torchia, 42, of Beverly Hills, Calif., a fitness consultant and former champion bodybuilder (overall winner, Mr. Collegiate Mr. America, 1977), regards MSM as a great advance for individuals involved in intense training.
If you are not taking something like MSM, you often have to take aspirin, ibuprofen, anti-inflammatories or assorted muscle rubs and creams that only give temporary relief, he says. With MSM, you have a new and important aid against the inevitable muscle soreness that comes with peak intensity training.
Torchia finds that 3 to 5 gm work well for him, reducing his usual muscle soreness by about 40%. He has been using MSM for more than 6 months.
MSM has been particularly useful to me because it gets harder to push it to the max as you get older, he says. You become more intolerant to the pain, and you dont recuperate as fast. MSM helps me endure the pain when I need to cycle up my training to prepare for guest appearances. It quickly relieves the soreness, so I can continue training hard.
Magers uses MSM daily, while Torchia tends to use it primarily on intense workout days. Although MSM has a good record for safe, longtime usage, both suggest that it may be appropriate to give the body a break from MSM from time to time.
One note of caution offered by Magers is to be aware that MSM may mask muscle fatigue. With MSM, you may not get the usual pain signals as you push out one final, heavy rep, he says. This happened to me in the beginning when I was doing incline dumbbell presses. The burn wasnt there, and I thought I could push up the dumbbell one more time. All of a sudden, my arm gave out, and I almost clobbered myself.
At his Portland clinic, Jacob has treated thousands of patients for chronic pain conditions. Under his supervision, some have safely taken more than 50 gm for severe pain. Jacob says that dosages ranging from 2 to 8 gm daily provide relief for many common pain and allergy situations, but higher levels are frequently needed for more deep-seated infirmities. Dosages vary, depending on gastrointestinal tolerance and an individuals condition. You should always take the least possible amount that gives you the benefit you desire, the doctor says.
Jacobs general advice is to start with a low dosage and work up slowly, dividing the doses during the day. This helps the body become accustomed to MSM. Taking it with meals also reduces the chance of developing any possible side effects, such as minor gastrointestinal discomfort, increased stool frequency or headaches. If such reactions occur, reduce the amount of MSM.
Many athletes, however, find that they are able to start at levels higher than those generally recommended by Jacob. Moreover, they take the supplement on an empty stomach and appear to have few or no reactions. If reactions do occur, the advice is to reduce the amount and build up slowly to an effective dose.
MSM offers relief from one of the athletes most dreaded companionsmuscle soreness. With the buzz this supplement is creating, it looks like more and more gym bags will be carrying MSM in the future.
Recently, MSM has emerged from relatively limited clinical usage into mainstream use as a nutritional supplement. Like a tidal wave, word spread, reaching the fitness and athletic world in 1999.Health writer Martin Zucker co-authored The Miracle of MSM (G.P. Putnams Sons, 1999) with Stanley Jacob, M.D., and Ronald M. Lawrence, M.D.

More signings to come
Filed: Thursday, 21st June 2012
By: Staff Writer
Karren Brady has admitted that West Ham hope to sign several more players ahead of the start of the 2012/13 Premier League campaign.
United's vice-chairm, speaking on Sky Sports News today confirmed that the board were hoping to sign 'a few' players to add to the trio already bagged - goalkeepers Stephen Henderson and Jussi Jaaskelainen plus midfielder Momo Diame.
"We hope to bring in a few more significant signings to improve our team and increase our chances of remaining in the Premier League and really 'have a go'," Brady said.
"We want to compete and make a contribution to this league. West Ham are a great club who deserve to play in the greatest league in the world. Sam [Allardyce] has made a very strategic plan; we have a comprehensive list of players we hope to bring in and we are working to do that."
Despite reports that the Hammers had made an improved bid for Norwich striker Grant Holt - a figure some sources have claimed equates to £5.5million - Brady stopped short of naming any specific targets.
"It's not appropriate to comment on other people's players," she added. "We prefer to do our business face to face with the chairmen of other clubs, and that's what we'll do."

Sputnik MisfireFriday, January 28th, 2011So I didn't watch the SOTU speech, but everyone has been commenting on the Sputnik reference in it. So I thought I'd so a word search on the speech and read the reference: When Sputnik was launched, the American populace said, in 1950's parlance, "Holy fucking shit, we need to do something!" And they launched the space program in response, culminating in a man on the moon. The president at the time, Dwight Eisenhower, thought little of the launch initially, and so it was his successor president who took action to assuage the fears of the populace. Obama seems to take the Sputnik idea a bit too literally. Nobody is having a pant-shitting moment over the fact that China makes more windmills or solar panels or high-speed trains than we currently do. In fact, there were only two Sputnik like moments within my lifetime. The first was over 9-11, and the sense of urgency about Islamic terrorism has faded since then, to put it mildly. The second such moment was the financial collapse that started in 2007. In particular, the fact that the facade was ripped off of our economy, wherein it was revealed that the United States economy much more closely resembles that of a South American basket case crony capitalist economy than the free-market meritocracy that we like to believe our economy has always been. That shock was doubled down upon by the massive spending programs in the stimulus and Obamacare, plus the arrival of the day of reckoning with the first of the Baby Boomers receiving Social Security and Medicare. That pant-shitting moment continues unabated, as the recession plods along and the federal government showing no interest in cutting back on its spending binge. The fact that Obama |

Jared Loughner Is a Muslim FanaticMonday, January 10th, 2011The ridiculousness of the left's accusations against Sarah Palin with regards to the Giffords shooting has been already covered by the right's top bloggers. Glenn Reynolds has been all over the case, just go to Instapundit and keep scrolling, or read his summary in today's Wall Street Journal. See also William Jacobson. What I wish to do is connect a few dots here and see if I can uncover what exactly is going on inside the head of someone who willingly jumps to conclusions that aren't supported by the facts; namely that a kid who has apparently had a long obsession with Giffords, an obsession that predates any map created by Palin, a kid who is recounted by his classmates as likely mentally ill, a kid who regards Mein Kampf and the Communist Manifesto as being among his favorite books, a kid who believes the government engages in mind control schemes, and a kid described by former classmates as being "left wing, and quite liberal", that kid was a Tea Partier or at least Sarah Palin/Tea Party influenced, and shot Giffords because Sarah Palin and right wing talk radio in effect instructed him to do it. Well then. If that's fair play I may as well call Loughner a Muslim fanatic while we're at it. Sure, I suppose some of this is wishful thinking on the left. There have been no shortage of open fantasies on the left about an Oklahoma City type disaster to bolster Obama's approval ratings, and in this shooting they see what they have been wishing for. But I think that there's something else going on as well. Consider the following three events: The Giffords shooting, the Fort Hood Shooting, and those "I am an American" ads that the left ran just after 9-11. In the case of the Giffords shooting, the left immediately tried to pin the blame for it on America's right of center politicians and commentators. With the Fort Hood shooting, there was long attempts to calm everybody down, and tell them not to "Jump to conclusions" about the perpetrator being a Muslim or being motivated by Muslim fanaticism. But it was the "I am an American" ads that were worst. In the face of one of the most bloody acts of hate ever perpetrated by one group against another, the American left sought not to lecture those who perpetrated those acts against us for their hate, but to lecture those who had been violated not to judge. It was an astonishing moment of moral perversity. But one that illuminates their shaded worldview. Taken together, the left's reaction to these three events tells us that the left believes that Americans (if not the West in general) are hair-trigger crazies ready to explode into violence at any moment. This accusation creates an intentional catch-22 for the right. When violence occurs, terrorism especially, one cannot react lest one plays into the stereotype, thus reinforcing the narrative. One cannot respond forcefully or angrily without reinforcing the narrative, that you're ready to explode into violence at a moment's notice. The purpose is to render the right impotent. The planned catch-22 doesn't surprise me. It's the classic purpose of any loaded question ("So Socrates, are you still beating your wife?") What I learned by the rapid fire reaction to it, from seemingly all quarters of the left, the organized left and just random lefties around me, is that for many it's not an intentional loaded insult. Many on the left actually believe it. It's one thing when you spread false rumors for a specific purpose, but its quite another when you believe your own lies. And I've come to believe that they really do. One twitterer retweeted by Andrew Brietbart wrote, "That's why an equal number of conservatives and liberals have been assassinated I suppose. JFK, RFK, MLK, Moscone, Milk etc". Except that JFK was a conservative Democrat assassinated by an avowed communist. And RFK was assassinated by a Palestinian national. And MLK was assassinated by a racist, not a Republican. And Moscone and Milk were assassinated by a guy who felt like he'd been slighted for a political job. But they maintain a myth in their heads that these were all right wing guys out to get them. It's a flattering self-delusion, but a delusion nonetheless. It's also an insult to us on the right, those of us who work to put forward thinking arguments to advance a cause, who would like to be met with arguments back. But instead, we're taking a weekend and probably the better part of the week if not longer, pointing out the obvious, that we're not behind Giffords' shooting. So I guess if I have any message to the left, it's "Get over yourselves". You're not important enough to anyone on the right to want to shoot. Your arguments are full of holes, which is precisely why we don't have to or want to put holes in you. Good day. |
Repeal Part ISaturday, January 8th, 2011I just wanted to take a moment to comment on the repeal of Obamacare that just passed the house. What struck me about it was just how easy it was. No arms needed to be twisted. No pork needed to be dished out. But on bipartisan lines, a vote to repeal easily passed. Contrast that with the effort required to pass Obamacare in the first place. not a single Republican vote could be garnered (or maybe they got just one in the house, I forget), and when the house finally passed the Senate bill, it was a week log excruciating arm twisting effort. Can there really be any doubt as to what the will of the people really is? Between court challenges and salami slicing away at the bill that is bound to take place over he next two years, I do not seeing Obamacare being implemented, at least not in the way it is currently written. And assuming that a Republican takes the White House in 2012, its eventual repeal is all but assured. And so I ask my |

It's been a while since I've posted anything on the forum. But I do check in regularly, reading and learning. A big thank you to everyone who contributes. In an earlier post there was some discussion concerning planting dates for different parts of the state of Oklahoma. As mentioned in that discussion, the OSU Extension Garden Guide is an excellent resource for this information. It gives a date range for planting for each type of vegetable, with the earliest date applicable to southeastern Oklahoma and the latest to northwestern Oklahoma. As an additional resource to novice gardeners I would like to also recommend visiting the Oklahoma Mesonet website and downloading the County Climate Summary for the county where you live. This, combined with the OSU Garden Guide will give you the information you need to make an informed decision concerning when to plant. Do realize though if you live in a hilly area of the state, differences in elevation can also have an effect on the local temperature. If you live in a valley you very well may have lower temps in the spring and fall than your neighbors living on top of the hills. So take in consideration your micro-climate as well as your county climate. See below for the link to the County Climate Summaries. |

USDA Assistance Helps Create/Retain 1,600 Jobs, Improve Infrastructure and Services in 60 Communities and Assist 2,400 Families with Home Purchases in Rural Iowa in Past Year | ||||||
Des Moines, Iowa, Oct 24, 2012
-- @@Funds from USDA Rural Development's nearly 40 loan and grant programs continue to have a dramatic impact on communities across Iowa. During fiscal year 2012, which ended on September 30th, USDA Rural Development's investment of $534 million in Iowa helped create or retain more than 1,600 jobs, aided 2,400 families in buying their own homes and assisted 60 communities with improvements to facilities, services and infrastructure. "At USDA Rural Development our focus is on the viability of rural communities which are so vital to our state and nation," said Bill Menner, USDA Rural Development State Director in Iowa. "These are the places that help support American agriculture and foster an ethic that impacts our workforce, our military and our economy. We are working with communities to create jobs, expand opportunity, encourage innovation and build a strong foundation for the future." Funds from the agency's programs help modernize essential water systems, build clinics and hospitals, support renewable energy systems, energy conservation, and ensure affordable housing for rural residents. Earlier this summer ground was broken for the new Manning Regional Healthcare Center in Carroll County. The new hospital, which will replace a facility that was built in 1927, received a $21 million loan from USDA Rural Development. When construction is completed Manning Regional Healthcare Center's new 17-bed critical access hospital will also include a physician clinic and recovery center that will provide substance abuse treatment services for up to16 patients in a partial residential setting. In addition to generating jobs USDA Rural Development investments are creating ongoing economic opportunities in rural America that will pay benefits for years to come. In July it was announced that a USDA Rural Business Enterprise Grant totaling $50,000 was awarded to the Iowa Valley RC&D Inc. to support the Women Land and Legacy effort which provides technical assistance to women who own or are developing businesses and farm operations. These funds will be used in Iowa, Tama and Poweshiek Counties. In August the Iowa Economic Development Authority received a $200,000 USDA Rural Community Development Initiative (RCDI) grant to assist as many as 40 rural Iowa communities with historic commercial district revitalization projects. Also this summer the City of Joice received a $939,000 loan and $972,000 grant to help make sewer improvements that will enhance the water quality in the northern Iowa community. The project, which received funds from USDA Rural Development's Water and Environmental Program, will install a new centralized gravity collection system with a centralized controlled discharge lagoon for the 245 residents in the City of Joice. The new collection system will replace failing individual septic systems. Finally, just last month Gundy Electric Cooperative, Inc., which serves customers in Iowa and Missouri, was selected for a $5 million loan guarantee to build and improve 18 miles of distribution line and make other system improvements. The loan amount includes more than $700,000 in smart grid projects. "Our agency is eager to build on the success of the past and help foster an even brighter future for rural Iowa," Menner added. "If you have an idea on how jobs can be created in rural Iowa, or how a rural community can improve the quality of life experience for their residents, give us a call today." Contact USDA Rural Development USDA Rural Development has 11 offices across the state to serve the 1.7 million Iowans living in rural communities and areas. Office locations include a State Office in Des Moines, along with Area Offices in Albia, Atlantic, Humboldt, Indianola, Iowa Falls, Le Mars, Mount Pleasant, Storm Lake, Tipton and Waverly. Further information on programs available through USDA Rural Development is available by calling (515) 284-4663 or by visiting the agency's web site at www.rurdev.usda.gov/ia. USDA Rural Development is an equal opportunity lender with a variety of grant and direct and guaranteed loan programs for single and multi-family housing, community facilities, water and sewer development and business and industry programs. President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities. USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has an active portfolio of more than $172 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America. # # # |

Oracle vs Google: the latest battle in the courts
by Dale WrightYet another court case has kicked off among major tech companies, and for once, it doesn't involve Apple.
The latest legal battle involves two of the biggest and most well-established companies in the technology industry: Oracle and Google. The outcome could be a very big deal for the smartphone industry, and could have significant implications for the future of Android.
Oracle claim that Google used 37 copyrighted elements and various patents relating to Java, a product which they now own after buying out Sun Microsystems two years ago. Oracle say Google programmers used these elements of Java in the development of the Android operating system without applying for a licence, and they say that this crucial Java code underpins the whole Android OS.
The case is significant because Google could be forced to reveal highly sensitive financial information about Android. If the company fails to win the case, Google could have to pay Oracle damages and ongoing royalties – a bill which could easily reach billions of dollars. If Google don't pay up, they could, in theory, be forced to re-write Android from the ground up. That means they would need to remove any Java code.
The outcome will be decided of a jury in San Francisco made up of a broad range of US citizens, but it's likely to be a highly technical case. According to the press, the jury members include a fashion designer, a postman, a nurse and a teacher. They will be asked to consider evidence from a stack of emails sent between Google staff confirming that Java was used without an agreement and no alternative could be found at the time. According to analysts, this was partly because so many programmers already knew Java and could develop applications for Android easily, but Google gave up on trying to negotiate a deal with Sun Microsystems.
Google say that a win for Oracle could be bad news for future compatibility as companies will be too scared to borrow from each other in order to make applications work well.

Marion Parker
Marion Parker[1] (October 11, 1915 – December 17, 1927) was the 12-year-old daughter of Perry Parker, a prominent banker in Los Angeles. She had a twin sister named Marjorie. On December 15, 1927, Marion was abducted from her school by William Edward Hickman, who called himself "The Fox." Her murder has since become the subject of folk songs.[2] Songs and some reports about Marion frequently misspell her name as Marian.
Abduction and murder[edit]
Hickman took Marion from her school, Mount Vernon Junior High School in the Lafayette Square section of Los Angeles, by telling the registrar, Mary Holt, that Perry Parker had been seriously injured in an accident and wished to see his daughter. Hickman was posing as an employee of the bank where Perry Parker worked. Mary Holt said during Hickman's trial that she "never would have let Marion go but for the apparent sincerity and disarming manner of the man."
Hickman then sent letters demanding money for several days. All the communications were signed with names such as "Fate," "Death," and "The Fox." A first attempt to deliver the ransom was ruined when Hickman saw police in the area. Continued communications from Hickman set up a new meeting to exchange ransom at the corner of 5th Avenue and South Manhattan Street in Los Angeles. Mr. Parker arrived alone at the place with the ransom money, $1,500 in $20 gold certificates. Mr. Parker handed over the money to a young man who was waiting for him in a parked car. When he paid the ransom, he could see his daughter Marion sitting in the passenger seat next to the suspect, wrapped up to her neck and apparently unable to move. As soon as the money was exchanged, Hickman drove off, pushing Marion's body out of the car at the end of the street. The coroner later testified that she had been dead for about 12 hours. Her arms and legs had been cut off and she had been disemboweled and stuffed with rags. Her eyes were wired open so as to make her appear alive.[3] Hickman later said that he had strangled her and cut her throat first, but he believed that she was still alive when he began to dismember her. Her arms and legs were found on December 18 in Elysian Park wrapped in newspaper.[4]
Hickman also confessed that he originally had no intention of killing Marion but did so because she had learned his identity and because he had been previously employed by her father at the bank. He also said that he had cut up the body with the intention of disposing of it but later realized that the father would want to see his daughter before paying the ransom. He then attempted to reconstruct and disguise the body to appear alive.[5]
A massive manhunt for Marion's killer began that involved over 20,000 police officers and American Legion volunteers. A reward of $50,000 was offered for the identification and capture of the killer, dead or alive.[4] Suspicion settled upon a former employee of Mr. Parker named William Edward Hickman. Several years before the abduction, Hickman was arrested on a complaint by Mr. Parker regarding stolen and forged checks. Hickman was convicted and did prison time.[4] Police traced a laundry mark on a shirt found with Marion's body to an apartment house in Los Angeles, where they questioned a man named Donald Evans who matched Hickman's description. Evans allowed the police to search his apartment, but they found no evidence and left. Evans then disappeared but was later identified as Hickman. The getaway car used at the ransom exchange had been found by police, and it was identified as having been stolen weeks before. Investigators had Hickman's fingerprints on file owing to his previous arrest and incarceration, and they matched them to prints found on ransom notes and on the getaway car.
Capture and execution of Hickman[edit]
A week after the murder, officers Tom Gurdane and Buck Lieuallen found Hickman in Echo, Oregon, and recognized him from wanted posters. He was extradited back to Los Angeles, where he confessed to another murder he committed during a drug store holdup as well as to many other armed robberies.[3]
Hickman told his attorneys that he had killed Marion on the directive of a supernatural being called Providence. This was one of the first insanity pleas on behalf of an accused killer in California, but Hickman failed to convince the jury that he was insane. He was convicted of murder and later was hanged at San Quentin prison in 1928.[3]
Motives for the crime[edit]
Hickman pleaded insanity as his official motive for the crime when at trial, although he had initially told police that he needed the $1,500 to go to a Bible college.[3] Evidence against his insanity defense included prison guards from Oregon who testified that Hickman had asked "how to act crazy." Prosecutors, however, speculated that he wanted revenge against Mr. Parker for testifying against him in his earlier trial for theft and forgery.[4] There is evidence that he did it in part for the notoriety because he told a reporter he wanted as much press coverage as high-profile killers Leopold and Loeb.[4]

Oracle Attacks Open Source; Says Community-Developed Code Is Inferior
Soulskill posted about a year ago | from the completely-unbiased-and-without-any-sort-of-agenda dept.
394sfcrazy writes "Oracle has a love-hate relationship with open source technologies. In a whitepaper (PDF) for the Deparment of Defense, Oracle claims that TCO (total cost of ownership) goes up with the use of open source. They're essentially trying to build a case for the use of their own products within the government. 'The skill required to successfully and economically blend source code into a commercially viable product is relatively scarce. It should not be done directly at government expense.' Oracle also attacks the community-based development model, calling it more insecure than company developed products. 'Government-sponsored community development approaches to software creation lack the financial incentives of commercial companies to produce low-defect, well-documented code.'"

Sneakers brand buys a Promoted Trend to push its Heisman Trophy-winning spokesperson.
When you're spending millions on a new spokesperson, what's an extra $120,000 to nudge the buzz along? That's likely how Adidas views its Promoted Trend purchase on Twitter today, announcing the signing of 2011 Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffith III on the micro-blogging site.
Employing the copy "#RG3", the ad points people to a landing page with this tweet:
Welcome to #teamadidas Robert Griffin III. #RG3 youtu.be/IyGU-ddIPiM
— adidas America (@adidasUS) February 21, 2012
The ad includes an embedded video, a feature that's been available to Twitter marketers for months but often ignored by them. The 51-second video can be seen by tapping the "View video" button on the Twitter page or by clicking a YouTube link. It shows the athlete - who is nicknamed RG3 and expected to be among the NFL's first draft picks in April - working out with weights and running speed drills.
The Twitter ad appears to be generating much more positive sentiment than negative for Adidas. On YouTube the video has been "liked" 55 times with nary a "dislike."
The emerging sports star had, at press time, 619 Twitter followers, adding about 10 people between Noon and 1 p.m. San Francisco-based Twitter asks $120,000 per day for the Promoted Trend, which is a national ad placement.
Interestingly, the brand's Facebook page, which has 5.5 million likes/fans, has yet to mention the fresh endorsement. At the same time, the Adidas.com homepage is dedicated to welcoming the quarterback into the brand's fold of spokespeople such as NBA star Derrick Rose and NFL player Von Miller.
Terms of the Adidas-RG3 deal were not disclosed.

"Dotted quad" spam makes a splashy return to this report as the volume more than tripled from the month prior. The most observed spam subject line of the month was also the dotted quad spam attack. With respect to message size, attachment spam continued to creep up in volume in March. This, along with an increase in NDR spam, raised the average message size. The 5kb – 10kb bucket increased by over four percentage points and the 10+kb bucket increased by over nine percentage points. With respect to spam categories, scam and phishing messages in April accounted for 17 percent of all spam, remaining unchanged compared to March. Overall, spam made up 89.22 percent of all messages in April, compared with 89.34 percent in March.
