James Comey – Democrats' Republican Folk Hero – Abby Phillip explains – James Comey, the man President Obama is likely to nominate as the new director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, may be a Republican, but he's near and dear to the hearts of many liberals in Washington. The former Bush administration official became something of a folk hero for some of the most riveting congressional testimony in history. Comey recounted how he, a deputy attorney general under John Ashcroft, rushed to his boss's hospital bedside to urge him not to sign an authorization for a classified domestic wiretapping program. At the time, Senate Democrats were investigating the Justice Department's activities, including the firing of Justice Department attorneys, and in the process of that investigation this now historic incident from 2004 was unearthed in cinematic detail. Here's how it happened: http://abcn.ws/10D6Q00
(The ACLU is not so happy. But they're more Civil Libertarian than Liberal).
ACLU Exec. Dir. Anthony Romero: "While the ACLU does not take official positions on nominations to appointed office, there are many questions regarding Comey's record that deserve careful scrutiny from the Senate Judiciary Committee. As the second-highest ranked Justice Department official under John Ashcroft, Comey approved some of the worst abuses committed by the Bush administration. Specifically, the publicly available evidence indicates Comey signed off on enhanced interrogation techniques that constitute torture, including waterboarding. He also oversaw the indefinite detention without charge or trial of an American citizen picked up in the United States and then held for years in a military brig."
Tea Party 2010 – Where Are They Now? - News that Michele Bachmann wouldn't be running for reelection and that Joe Miller would take another stab at running for Senate in Alaska got us thinking about the Tea Party.

George: "… Bachmann had done pretty much about what she could do in the House, was never really much of a legislator, much more of a provocateur and spokesman for the Tea Party movement and I get the sense that she's getting the sense she can do a lot more for that cause from outside the House."

VDRL test
VDRL test
The VDRL test is a screening test for syphilis. It measures substances, called antibodies, that your body may produce if you have come in contact with the bacteria that causes syphilis. This bacteria is called Treponema pallidum.
The test is similar to the newer rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test.
Alternative Names
Venereal disease research laboratory test
How the test is performed
The test is usually done using a blood sample. It can also be done using a sample of spinal fluid. This article discusses the blood test.
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
How the test will feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the test is performed
This test is used to diagnose syphilis. Your health care provider may order this test if you have signs and symptoms of a sexually transmitted illness (STI).
Syphilis screening is a routine part of prenatal care during pregnancy. Several states also require screening for syphilis prior to obtaining a marriage license.
Normal Values
A negative test is normal. It means that no antibodies to syphilis have been seen in your blood sample.
The screening test is most likely to be positive in the secondary and latent stages of syphilis. This test may give a false-negative result during early- and late-stage syphilis.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results mean
A positive test result may mean you have syphilis. If the test is positive, the next step is to confirm the results with an FTA-ABS test, which is a more specific syphilis test.
The VDRL test's ability to detect syphilis depends on the stage of the disease. The test's sensitivity to detect syphilis nears 100% during the middle stages; it is less sensitive during the earlier and later stages.
Some conditions may cause a false positive test, including:
- Lyme disease
- Certain types of pneumonia
- Malaria
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
What the risks are
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
Special considerations
The body does not always produce antibodies specifically in response to the syphilis bacteria, so this test is not always accurate.

Torn Hip Labrum Repair
Ross Hauser, MD
- New research says that patients, forty-five years of age or older, who had arthroscopic labral surgery had a relatively high re-operation rate and minimal overall improvement with small clinical benefit.1
- In patients with pain from femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tear, intra-articular cortisone injection has limited clinical benefit.2
In this article Ross Hauser MD explains that when thinking through the root cause of chronic pain and sports injury, treatments such as Stem Cell Therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, and Prolotherapy should make sense as the first line treatment in hip labral tear.
A torn acetabular (hip) labrum is a common sports injury which can quickly, and unnecessarily, land an athlete on the surgical table. The labrum is a smooth ring of fibrocartilaginous tissue that provides hip joint stability for the head of the femur. When this tissue is damaged, a person may experience clicking, pain, or weakness in the hip. But some people have no distinct symptoms.
The labrum has a poor blood supply, which makes a tear or injury difficult to treat with traditional approaches, such as pain medicine or rest. These particular recommendations have very little long term appeal, especially for an active person who does not want to take medication long term. Physical therapy may also be recommended for rehabilitation. While physical therapy can help the surrounding muscles, it does nothing to help repair the labrum itself and little to prevent further instability of the hip joint. Consequently, labral tear cases are quickly referred to surgeons for potential surgery to try and repair or remove the damaged tissue. Surgical intervention involves risks, as well as extended time off for rehab. This is not an ideal option for an athlete who wishes to return to the game quickly. The surgical prognosis is often guarded as to whether the athlete would be able to return fully to his or her sport, especially if labral tissue is removed.
Unfortunately standard treatments for chronic pain injuries ignore the root cause, going after the symptoms and potentially causing more injury and pain. Labral tears are one of these injuries. An article published in Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine conducted a comprehensive review of hip labral tears that pointed out some crucial facts about these tears1. In short, the hip surgeries that remove or debride the hip labrum are taking away from the vital function of the labrum.
Hip labral repair
Most structures of the body have significant function and purpose. Removing a natural structure of the body is almost never a good thing. Take the hip labrum. Its function is shock absorption, joint lubrication, pressure distribution and hip stability. It resists the movement of the femoral head in the acetabulum. It also acts as seal to maintain the synovial fluid, thereby lowering the stresses and strains in the hip joint.
Hip labral tear
When looking at the function of the hip labrum it is clear that a tear is more than significant. Damage to the labrum, typically caused by trauma, hypermobility or degeneration, is linked to osteoarthritis (OA). It is known that the anterior and superior aspects of the labrum contain free nerve endings and sensory nerve organs; meaning damage produces pain, pressure and deep sensation.
Treatments for hip labral tears
With the advance of medical technology, hip labral tears are diagnosed more often than in the past. While conservative treatments such as rest, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy are done, surgery is almost always performed. Removal of the labrum used to be the surgical treatment of choice, but with the knowledge of how important the labrum is, surgical treatment now involves arthroscopy to remove the unstable flap that causes the hip pain or discomfort. In some cases, repairs are made with cadaver grafts. These also can prove unsuccessful and lead to complications and pain after surgery.
Problems with surgery for hip labral tear
The study mentioned above points out the problem with completely removing the labrum but also points to problems with tears:
Doctors recognize that without the labrum, the articular cartilage must withstand significantly increased pressure, and a compromise of this system could lead to early joint deterioration. Research noted that a tear in the labrum would also likely destabilize the hip joint. This explains why there is an association between acetabular labral tears and early onset osteoarthritiis."3
Treatment for hip labral tears
Unfortunately removing any part of the labrum will lead to further degeneration and most likely osteoarthritiis. Since the labrum is vital to hip joint function, both doctors and patients should desire to preserve the hip labrum. While standard treatments prove unsuccessful, Comprehensive Prolotherapy is an excellent alternative to surgery for hip labral tears. Specifically, Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cell Therapy can be greatly beneficial in delivering growth factors to the damaged labrum.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy treatment for hip labrum tear
Platelets play a central role in blood clotting and wound healing. Tissue repair begins with clot formation and platelet degranulation, which release the growth factors necessary for wound repair. Platelet-derived growth factors are biologically active substances that enhance tissue repair mechanisms.
After platelets are activated at a wound site, proteins are released that directly and indirectly influence virtually all aspects of the wound healing cascade. Studies have shown a direct correlation between the platelet concentration and the level of secretory proteins, as well as the amount of proliferation involved in the wound healing.
In basic terms, PRP involves the application of concentrated platelets, which release a supra-maximal quantity of growth factors which stimulate recovery in non-healing injuries. PRP causes a mass influx of growth factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor, transforming growth factor and others, which exert their effects of fibroblasts causing proliferation and thereby accelerating the regeneration of injured tissues. Specifically PRP enhances the fibroblastic events involved in tissue healing including chemotaxis, proliferation of cells, proteosynthesis, reparation, extracellular matrix deposition, and the remodeling of tissues. Bottom line here is that tissues can heal faster with PRP! 4-8
In our own research, Prolotherapy for hip labral tears was curative in 54% of the patients (no pain at all after Prolotherapy) and overall relieved 80-85% of their pain, which in our experience will end up much better than surgical procedures, because the hip is now stable. We do not feel surgical labrum removal is the best option for first line treatment, nor do we agree with surgeons inserting titanium stables in the hip for so-called "repair." What do you think the long-term consequences of titanium staples in the hip will be? We believe it will cause long-term osteoarthritis. So in a nutshell, in our experience, Prolotherapy is the best long-term solution for hip labral tears. Typically four or five treatments are needed. Often we use Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) as the proliferant inside the hip and utilize Comprehensive dextrose Prolotherapy to the ligaments.
New Dad Seeks Prolotherapy for hip labral tear post surgery pain
Danielle R. Steilen, MMS, PA-C
At Caring Medical, we get emails every day from potential patients wanting to know if Prolotherapy is an appropriate treatment option for their condition. We recently received this email from a man in Wisconsin inquiring about his chronic hip pain:
After this diagnosis, I resolved to lose weight in hopes of lessening pain, and began a regiment of diet and basically any form of exercise that didn't hurt my hip. I started swimming, rowing, and kayaking. Now I'm 6'3" and 200 pounds, down from 270. I'm 35. I've had bad hip pain for 5 years. Finally [I] was diagnosed with a labral tear, [I] had surgery but the pain didn't resolve and further scans showed worse tearing and arthritis.
The good news is, it worked. I have considerably less pain now. I don't take ibuprofen any more, and ice is used less frequently as well.
The bad news is, I never run. I never play sports, but love basketball, and if I do, it gets very painful. Other times, my hip always hurts but not as bad. I have limited mobility in my leg and frequent Sciatica symptoms. I've done a few rounds of rehab therapy, but with no results or sometimes worsening pain.
I dream of playing sports with my 6 month old son when he is old enough!! Thanks for your time!!
This case brings up a lot of good points, which is why we wanted to share it with you.
Pain after surgery
We often see or hear from patients that have already had surgery to correct an underlying injury. Unfortunately, they are still left with chronic pain years after the surgery was performed. Often, they have tried physical therapy and courses of NSAIDs without any relief. That's when they come to see us. While it is unfortunate that surgery and rehabilitation exercises have not helped them, we at Caring Medical have the ability to help them get back to an active lifestyle and out of pain. Why does surgery fail? Surgery often does not treat the root cause of the problem. This man had a labral tear in his hip. Even after surgery fixed the tear, he still had the same pain and limited range of motion – in other words hip labral tear post surgery pain. This is because surgery often does not get at the root cause of the problem: in most patients, the root of the problem is underlying joint instability.
Caring Medical's approach to pain after surgery
So how does Prolotherapy come into play for hip labral tear post surgery pain? Prolotherapy is a specialized medical injection therapy and technique used to stabilize joints. It involves injections of a dextrose-based solution to all of the ligament and tendon attachments of unstable joints to increase stability and heal injured tissue. In this man's case, he likely has hip instability related to his labral tear. While surgery fixed the tear, it did nothing to repair injured ligaments and left him with lingering pain. Prolotherapy causes inflammation of tissues at the injection sites and allows our bodies to heal themselves by proliferating cells and remodeling damaged tissue.
Prolotherapy is not the only therapy that can make a big difference with chronic pain. As this potential patient discusses in his email, maintaining a healthy weight can positively affect pain, especially in weight bearing joints such as the hips and knees. Even though he could not run due to pain, he found new exercises that he could do to lose weight and maintain fitness.
Whenever a person takes a step, there could be more than five times the body weight exerted on joints. Since this man lost 70 pounds, there are now about 350 less pounds of pressure exerted on his hips when he walks. This reduces the amount of pressure on his labrum and surrounding tissues of his hip joint. While this did not eliminate all of his pain, it helped to significantly reduce it and made him a better Prolotherapy candidate.
Often times, patients come to Caring Medical desiring to get cellular Prolotherapy, such as PRP, right away to heal their chronic pain. As related to labral tears, PRP works very well at healing the torn labral tissue and strengthening the hip joint. In our office, we use cellular Prolotherapy (such as PRP or extracting stem cells from the bone marrow or adipose tissue) alongside dextrose Prolotherapy for comprehensive and aggressive treatments.
Is Caring Medical the place for you?

"This recipe was created by Sasha Peri-Raver, I persnallywatched the episode where she came up with it. It may be similar to that other recipe but she still madeit her own. That dish may have been the inspiration but there is no reason to accuse this woman of stealing someone's recipes when you don't know if that was the intention."

Braised Chicken with Mushrooms
Browning the chicken seals in the juices and keeps the inside moist and flavorful. Serve this over Oven-Baked Creamy Polenta.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, May/June 2003
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper

- 4 garlic cloves, halved
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)

Made this recently and loved it! You have to love garlic. My husband was not a fan of the polenta, but I enjoyed it. Maybe potatoes next time.
britnym 10 Feb, 2011
This is one of my husbands favorites, we probably make it once a month in the fall and winter. I usually serve the chicken with mashed potatoes instead of polenta because we're not big polenta fans.
FouFolle 8 Jan, 2009
This tasted a little like institutional food to me! Maybe because I used ready made stock rather than home made? The mushrooms were pretty good but the sauce and the chicken reminded me of airline food or school dinners!
tizinu 12 Jun, 2008
I use mini portabella mushrooms with this recipe and got an amazing result. We make this dish at least 2 or 3 times a year as it's a family favorite. It's also incredibly healthy as chicken dishes go!
fish-n-flight 15 Feb, 2008
I loved this dish. We used Pinot Girgio in it. This was the first time I have ever made polenta in the oven, loved it. FYI if you buy the AWESOME book "Everyday Food" the nutritional information for every recipe is in the back. Just to help you out......

We had this for dinner and it was very flavorful, moist and savory. I will be making this again. Next time I might use red wine instead of white and use a more woody mushroom.
LStein05 29 Jan, 2008
I made this last night and thought it was delicious. Though it takes some time, it is very simple and the chicken is so moist.
Kaetchen 18 Jan, 2008
I just made this today and was disappointed. Neither my husband or I thought it was anything special. There was way too much liquid and the mushrooms turned the liquid an unappetizing black color.
pattio523 17 Jan, 2008
I agree, as someone who is ALWAYS watching my weight, nutritional information is very important to me.

A wonderful and delious meal! I have made this many times to rave reviews from my guests! I give it 5 stars no matter what the nutritional information is!!
marienicklas 16 Jan, 2008
I would like the nutritional information as well. Not only to calories counters need this information, but diabetics as well. Please consider adding this feature to your recipes.

carol44 15 Jan, 2008

I agree, please add the nutritional information for each recipe.
patxcook 15 Jan, 2008
Maybe it's just the time of year, but I, too, would like the calorie and nutritional count of the recipes,
MVituj 15 Jan, 2008
I love when nutritional information is added to recipes. Hopefully they will add nutrition facts soon if more people coment on the subject.
dartinsmith 15 Jan, 2008
I would also like to know the calorie count.
radley 15 Jan, 2008
This looks absolutely marvelous. But what would it take to get nutritional information with these recipes?
usze123 6 Nov, 2007
Lovely classic recipe, had this at my wedding, or something like it. If you want an added luxurious effect, make it creamier and use Morels for strength of flavour and Chanterelles for a fancy scupltural touch. Plse don't make the white wine opt. This is my first posting and I feel at risk of sounding like a Stepford wife!

Not only does the Quepos Billfish Cup provide the opportunity to qualify for the Offshore World Championship, but it also allows anglers to gain experience in the same fishing grounds.
Quepos is quickly rising in the world of sportfishing. In peak season, anglers regularly release 20 + billfish per day!

Despite attempts to keep this from happening we ended up with an infestation of ear worms this year. We eat the corn and just cut them out but I am venturing to say our Csa members won't be so eager. How do you handle issues like this? We are known for our sweet corn and this is the first time we had an issue since starting the Csa. I thought about asking who wants it and who doesn't, or sourcing from another farm. What do you do in these instances? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Cut the top off each ear. It'll look fine. I do this if necessary and see organic corn sold like this in the stores and at markets all the time. |
- Posted by Rio_Grande none (My Page) on Tue, Jul 16, 13 at 5:13
Ok. Some of these buggers bored in the bottom of the ear, never seen that before! It's some of the tastiest corn we have ever grown. I have started treating the second planting with spinosad. I've never used it before. Hoping it works. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 16, 13 at 16:37
I do a drop of oil on each ear. That isn't feasible for everyone though. If I miss doing it I cut the tips off after opening the husk and seeing where the worm is. |
- Posted by Rio_Grande none (My Page) on Tue, Jul 16, 13 at 23:29
Sounds good. It wasn't as bad as I originally thought but it isint what we planned. Spinosad is supposed to be superior to BT but we plan to dab the silks on the next cutting as soon as the tassels turn. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 17, 13 at 15:22
Spinosad kills bees whereas Bt does not. So I use Bt whenever possible. It does work on corn worms. |
- Posted by Rio_Grande none (My Page) on Wed, Jul 17, 13 at 15:38
Ouch I was not aware of that |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Thu, Jul 18, 13 at 21:26
I oiled the ears of the first corn bed last night. I used a little old insecticidal oil with mineral oil. Mineral oil is clear and you can't tell if you did an ear or not! |
- Posted by Rio_Grande none (My Page) on Thu, Jul 18, 13 at 21:49
Looks like you wait until the silks start to turn. That's what we are doing as soon as the silks change color I have started treating them wit corn oil. |
i think the entrust label says the exclusion period for bees is 3 hours. if you can spray it in the very early morning or late in the evening when most bees are home there shouldn't be many dead bees. bees don't work corn much anyway. sweet corn doesn't make sense to me to grow since the yield in $'s is pretty low per ft. i think even beans is more $ per foot. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 19, 13 at 22:15
Yes I do use Spinosad, carefully, on non flowering crops when needed. I use it on potatoes and brassicas if needed. Just make sure to be careful with bees. So many less this year than normal. I have not seen a single potato beetle or cucumber beetle and the cabbage worms are much less than normal. I sprayed Bt on the brassicas once. I will only do Spinosad on them if the Bt doesn't cut it. But anything with caterpillars gets Bt first. |

In my Mail Queue Manager on my WHM Cpanel I see the [system] as one of the email sender. Not a huge deal to me at first but now it's sending tons of mail everyday. Is there a way to stop this?
WHM 11.32.2 (build 25)
CENTOS 5.8 i686 virtuozzo
Yes, you change the We combine system name and function so we can narrow down why we're getting an automated email just from the sender name or address. |
You can certainly limit the no of outgoing email sent from accounts in WHM/cpanel Goto Tweak Settings --> Mail --> Max hourly emails per domain Set an appropriate value here, If you feel that you don't send too many email from your server limit the no to say 100 or something. Note: This setting applies to every account on cpanel/WHM server. |
Have you set up the root and cPanel forwarders? You can do that through - WHM >> Main >> Server Contacts >> Change System Mail Preferences root@cpanel [~]$ touch .forward I would also suggest figuring out what those emails are coming from and fix/stop that. |

I'm going to make two predictions: 1. Jarvan III will be assassinated during the ceremony a few weeks from now, potentially leading to a Demacia/Noxus lore match at the *cough cough* Magma Chamber *cough cough* 2. A New Champion Approaches! Ram Steed, the Journalist of Justice!
So... Yordles are Aliens. and the next champion after Jarvan IV is Ram Steed who obtains super powers after getting shived by Shaco? league of legends beware indeed.
There was nothing about Shaco in the mailbag. LIAR

I call shenanigans. There's no way Noxus was the cause of that mining explosion. It's all a set up incriminate Noxus, preventing them from gaining the mining rights. I mean, they were helping Demacia rescue their miners for goodness sakes! Plus, if they really wanted to cause the mining explosion, you better believe they would have done a perfect job of it.

iptables-save writes to stdout. Typically, the init script for iptables uses it on stopping the service to redirect to /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config (RH-like distros) or /etc/iptables-rules (Debian distros). There are probably scenarios ...

Very good how-to in a nutshell, though.

I just did some searching and found the best way to write the config file for iptables is to use the following:
Code:/etc/init.d/iptables save
- 02-21-2010 #13
Yes, that's the best way to do it explicitly. That save function of the iptables init script is called by both the stop and restart functions, so any orderly shut down or restart of the service, including an orderly system reboot, will result in saving the current tables and using them on restart. This is probably the best option for most folks, as it ensures that the correct directory/file are used and that the contents are syntactically (though not necessarily logically correct). Experienced engineers can get away with hand-editing because they're prepared to find and fix the problem if they mung up the syntax or misplace the file.

This past Sunday, thanks to good friends of mine at TrainingPeaks (gratuitous sponsor plug!), I was able to get a ticket to the US Open Tennis tournament in New York City. I've been a huge tennis fan my whole life (Andre Agassi is my favorite athlete of all-time) so going to the Open was a total bucket list item for me. I'll spare you the play-by-play of the entire day but I'll just say this; it totally lived up to the hype!
What I thought I'd do here instead is jot down some of the things that entered my mind as I compared the Open, and the US Tennis Association [USTA] in general, to track and field and USATF. By no means is this me ripping USATF or telling them what to do. These are simply observations and things that I do believe could help our sport, based on what I saw this weekend. Here goes:
1) The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is amazing! – This was definitely my number one takeaway. The grounds contain not only three stadiums but also plenty of smaller courts, practice courts, indoor courts etc. They also contain all the USTA offices (where they host all of their meetings) and the complex is used year-round for adult, junior and under-10 tennis programs. It's even open to the public from 6am to midnight just about every day and for fairly reasonable rates.
All of this got me to thinking; could USATF have a national headquarters like this with an outdoor stadium built specifically for track and field, an indoor stadium, a practice track, etc.? And could that be the venue for the U.S. Championships each and every year and the Olympic Trials every four years? Those questions are meant to be rhetorical, but I would say it's at least possible. It would take a lot of money of course, but you have to spend money to make money. Consider that 70% of the USTA's yearly revenue comes from the US Open alone. I'm just throwing this out there, and I'm sure there would be challenges, but Eugene sure seems like the obvious place. Can you imagine summer-long youth academies at Hayward Field? Or annual meetings at the house that PRE built instead of random cities across the country? Close your eyes and picture it. It's pretty darn appealing…
2) The best minds in Tennis are involved with the USTA - Now I don't pretend to know all the ins and outs of the USTA and I'm sure they have their issues, but I did hear one very interesting tidbit that caught my attention. The head coach at a Division I University is also the president of one of the USTA regions. I've long been frustrated that many of our sport's brightest and most passionate ambassadors are either coaching in the NCAA or owning and operating specialty running stores, and yet, rarely do any of these folks have anything to do with USATF in any significant way. In fact, within about a week-and-a-half every December there are three separate conventions; the USATF Annual Meeting, the USTFCCCA Coaches Convention and The Running Event. So here we have all of our best minds getting together at the same time, but in separate places with little to no thought of working with the other groups. Tell me that's not silly.
3) Tennis creates and promotes its stars – I have now been to the US Open and the USA Track and Field Trials. Eugene did an absolutely awesome job with the Trials, and maybe I'm biased, but I thought it had a fairly similar feel to the Open. I believe an outside observer with no ties to either sport would have felt the electricity at both venues. However, one glaring difference was the apparel being sold at each event. I wish I would've counted the exact number but there must have been at least 20 different pieces of Roger Federer apparel available for sale on the grounds. Rafael Nadal, who wasn't even playing, had just about as many. At the Trials there was tons of cool stuff, much of it related to Hayward Field and Eugene itself but very little in the way of athlete-centered paraphernalia. Not only that but you could tell the organizers understood the value of the athletes. Quick example; Caroline Wozniacki upset Maria Sharapova and what immediately comes over the loudspeakers but Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline. The whole place was singing it, myself included (and I hadn't even had a beer yet).
Not all of this falls on USATF of course. Athlete sponsors have to use the athletes they pay to their advantage. Don't complain about ROI if you didn't make posters, make shirts, create marketing campaigns, set up public appearances, etc. You've got to admire how Skechers has maximized their Meb sponsorship. You can't walk into a Skechers store in this country without a Meb poster right in your face. Much like you can't walk into a tennis store without seeing Roger Federer gear. And that's as it should be.
4) The Players are real PROS – Tennis is a tough sport to make a living in, as is running. The very top players make a lot of money and the lower ranked players struggle. However, tennis is run in such a more professional manner than running. It's almost embarrassing really. If this topic interests you I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you read this article from Forbes.com called How the 92nd ranked tennis player in the world makes a comfortable living.
This whole thing may be for another blog post, but I'll just quickly say that I think, in running, we need to cut the cord that ties us to our amateur roots. This is just my opinion, but I strongly believe that running needs to take on a more professional look and feel and get as far away as we can from constantly playing the "Olympic" card. If we continue to do that we're going to be a lot closer to Ping Pong and Badminton than we are to Tennis.
P.S. – I sort of ended that on a bit of a downer and it wasn't meant to be that kind of post. It was more that I saw a lot of similarities between running and tennis and that, with a few tweaks, we could get better. So I'll instead end with a video of one of my favorite tennis matches ever; Agassi v Sampras at the 1995 US Open. Enjoy!

By Intern Kelsie in Music on May 02, 2012
Our friends at VICE had a novel idea. Let's wrangle two awesome musicians, sit them down, and have them talk like real human beings. They're calling it Back & Forth, a fitting title for the riffing of two inspirational musicians. First up? Annie Clark of St. Vincent and Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs. Two musicians with relatively sunny melodic dispositions, Clark and Garbus talk about their punk-rock influences and how to infuse their poppy performances with that kick-ass, take-names, punk-rock attitude. Their solution is to include intentional ugliness into their music. Clark says, "Ugliness is confrontational," and it seems in music, as in art or life, traditionally 'ugly' can be pretty nice.
The duo comes off as two genuinely cool girls (with really cool sunglasses) in the video, posted below. They bond over suburban roots, meeting your idols, grappling with the idea that they just might be someone's idols themselves, and the joy of making music. Mocking the idea that female musicians should still be regarded as groundbreaking in 2012, Annie Clark's response to the question 'What's it like to be a woman in music?' is: "It's fuckin' awesome."

Learn Some Positive Parenting Tips
Discover (or rediscover) positive ways that you can help your child learn and develop.
Your child is heading back to school or attending school for the first time. As she grows, her needs may change. Discover positive ways to help the development of your 3- to 5-year old, 6- to 8-year old, 9- to 11-year old, and adolescent.
Preschoolers (3–5 years old)
As your child grows into early childhood, his world will begin to open up. She will become more independent and begin to focus more on adults and children outside of the family. He will want to explore and ask about his surroundings even more.
Her interactions with family and those around her will help to shape her personality and individual ways of thinking and moving. During this stage your child will be able to ride a tricycle, use safety scissors, show awareness of gender identity, help to dress and undress himself, play with other children, recall part of a story, and sing a song.
Positive Parenting Tips
- Continue to read to your child. Nurture her love for books by taking her to the library or bookstore.
- Let your child help with simple chores.
- Encourage your child to play with other children. This helps him to learn the value of sharing and friendship.
- Help your child's language by speaking to her in complete sentences and in "adult" language. Help her to use the correct words and phrases.
- Be clear and consistent when disciplining your child. Model the behavior that you expect from him.

Middle Childhood (6 – 8 years old)
Middle childhood brings many changes to a child's life. By this time, children can dress themselves, catch a ball more easily with only their hands, and tie their shoes. Developing independence from family becomes more important now. Events such as starting school bring children this age into regular contact with the larger world. Friendships become more and more important. Physical, social, and mental skills develop rapidly at this time. This is a critical time for children to develop confidence in all areas of life, such as through friends, schoolwork, and sports.
Positive Parenting Tips
- Show affection for your child. Recognize her accomplishments.
- Talk with your child about school, friends, and things she looks forward to in the future.
- Talk with your child about respecting others. Encourage him to help people in need.
- Help your child set her own achievable goals—she'll learn to take pride in herself and rely less on approval or reward from others.
- Make clear rules and stick to them, such as how long your child can watch TV or when he has to go to bed. Be clear about what behavior is okay and what is not okay.
- Help your child learn patience by letting others go first or by finishing a task before going out to play. Encourage him to think about possible consequences before acting.
- Do fun things together as a family, such as playing games, reading, and going to events in your community.
- Get involved with your child's school. Meet the teachers and staff to understand the learning goals and how you and the school can work together to help your child do well.
- Continue reading to your child. As your child learns to read, take turns reading to each other.
- Use discipline to guide and protect your child, rather than punishment to make her feel badly about herself.
- Support your child in taking on new challenges. Encourage him to solve problems, such as a disagreement with another child, on his own.

Middle Childhood (9 – 11 years old)
Your child's growing independence from the family and interest in friends might be obvious by now. Healthy friendships are very important to your child's development, but peer pressure can become strong during this time. Children who feel good about themselves are more able to resist negative peer pressure and make better choices for themselves. This is an important time for children to gain a sense of responsibility along with their growing independence. Also, physical changes of puberty might be showing by now, especially for girls. Another big change children need to prepare for during this time is starting middle or junior high school.
Positive Parenting Tips
You can help your child become independent, while building his or her sense of responsibility and self-confidence at the same time. Here are some suggestions:
- Spend time with your child. Talk with her about her friends, her accomplishments, and what challenges she will face.
- Be involved with your child's school. Go to school events; meet your child's teachers.
- Encourage your child to join school and community groups, such as a team sport, or to take advantage of volunteer opportunities.
- Help your child develop his own sense of right and wrong. Talk with him about risky things friends may pressure him to do, like smoking or dangerous physical dares.
- Help your child develop a sense of responsibility—involve your child in household tasks. Talk to your child about saving and spending money wisely.
- Meet the families of your child's friends.
- Talk with your child about respecting others. Encourage your child to help people in need. Talk with him or her about what to do when others are not kind or are disrespectful.
- Help your child set his own goals. Encourage him to think about skills and abilities he would like to have and about how to develop them.
- Make clear rules and stick to them. Talk to your child about what you expect from her when no adults are supervising. If you provide reasons for rules, it will help your child to know what to do in those situations.
- Use discipline to guide and protect your child, instead of punishment to make him feel badly about himself.
- Talk with your child about the normal physical and emotional changes of puberty.
- Encourage your child to read every day. Talk with her about her homework.
- Be affectionate and honest with your child, and do things together as a family.

Early Adolescence (12 – 14 years old)
Early adolescence is a time of many physical, mental, emotional, and social changes. Hormones change as puberty begins. Boys grow facial and pubic hair and their voices deepen. Girls grow pubic hair and breasts, and start menstruating. They might be worried about these changes and how they are looked at by others. This will also be a time when your teenager might face peer pressure to use alcohol, tobacco products, and drugs, and to have sex. Other challenges can be eating disorders, depression, and family problems.
Positive Parenting Tips
