List of people who have walked across the United States
This is an incomplete list that may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
This is a list of people who have walked across the United States. Walking or running across the United States has long been a challenge, especially to bring publicity to social causes. The definition has been based upon going from coast to coast in the United States, not including the Gulf of Mexico.

Philip Cihiwsky[edit]
Phil Cihiwsky, 59, from Loveland, Colorado walked from San Diego, California to York Harbor, Maine starting his walk on March 4 and completing it on October 4, 2013. He walked 3300 miles unsupported, crossing 15 states in 7 months while raising awareness about food insecurity issues among older adults for Meals On Wheels and encouraging the people he met along the way to support home delivered meal programs in their own communities .[1][2]
Helga Estby[edit]
Helga Estby, a 36-year-old from Spokane, Washington, and her 18-year-old daughter Clara walked from Spokane to New York City in 1896, setting off on May 5, 1896, passing through 14 states along the way, and arriving at the latter on Christmas Eve. She did so in response to a $10,000 challenge from a sponsor given to any woman who would walk across the United States. She brought with her a compass, red-pepper spray, a revolver, and a curling iron. She wanted the money in order to save her family's 160-acre (0.65 km2) farm. She did not receive it.[3][4][5]
Louis Michael Figueroa[edit]
Louis Michael Figueroa, age 43, of Tucson. In 1982, at the age of 16, Figueroa became the fastest and youngest person to run across the United States covering the route from New Brunswick, NJ to San Francisco in 60 days to fulfill a promise to a friend who was dying of bone cancer.
In 1996–1997 he walked from Bangor, ME to San Diego, CA for local AIDS networks in memory of his brother Jimmy, who died of the disease. The walk was plagued by delays due to Figueroa's battle with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia.
In 2005, he began a walk around the United States for victims of child abuse. Figueroa walked for six months and covered 6,437 kilometres (4,000 mi) of the 12,070 kilometres (7,500 mi).[6]
On June 4, 2010 Figueroa left from where he previously stopped, 6.43 kilometres (4.00 mi) west of Somerset, PA and arrived in Tucson on January 15, 2011.[7][8][9][dated info]
Aaron Huey[edit]
Aaron Huey, age 25, left Encinitas, California on January 22, 2002 and arrived in New York City 3,349 miles and 154 days later. His only travel companion was his dog Cosmo. He did not carry a cell phone and had no support team.[10] Huey covered the why and how in his 2010 Annenberg Foundation lecture,[11] and Huey also wrote journals of his travels along the way.[12]
Polly Letofsky[edit]
Polly Letofsky, 37, walked around the world and as a natural portion of that walked across the United States. She started in Vail, Colorado, and headed west through Arizona, California, then walked around the world entering US shores again in NY. NJ, PA, Upstate NY, Ontario, CA, MI, WI, MN, IA, MO, KS, CO. Her walk around the world was the culmination of a childhood dream, but moreover was an advocacy campaign for breast cancer around the world. In each country the funds raised stayed in that country. Her book, 3mph: The Adventures of One Woman's Walk Around the World has become a best seller. [13]
David Madden[edit]
David Madden, a 19-day champion on Jeopardy!, he hiked the length of the United States as a fundraiser for the Fisher House Foundation, a charity that provides free accommodations for family members of veterans at American military hospitals.
Barbara Moore[edit]
Barbara Moore (1903–1977),[14] a Russian-born health enthusiast, walked 3,387 miles from San Francisco to New York City in 46 days in 1960.[15]
Richard H. Noble[edit]
From March 12, 2011 till June 9, 2012, this gay rights activist walked the Rainbow Pride Flag across the north/west and the south/east, dividing his walk into two parts, along with road trips and other walks across The Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation of South Dakota and a 63 mile walk from Palm Springs to the 29 Palms Marine Base where he hung a Rainbow flag ushering in the historic repeal of the discriminatory military law of Don't Ask-Don't Tell. The story was featured in The Advocate and was listed as one of the reasons to have PRIDE in 2012. The walk received 11 City Proclamations and 3 resolutions all in support of modernizing civil rights laws with The American Equality Bill. Noble reached Jacksonville on June 9, 2012 without injury as was the great concern carrying the international symbol of gay pride, The Rainbow Flag, setting state, national and international records for LGBT freedom. The 15 month walk went into 10 states and crossed 2700 miles.
Peace Pilgrim[edit]
Peace Pilgrim (born Mildred Lisette Norman) was an American pacifist, vegetarian, and peace activist. Starting on January 1, 1953, she walked across the United States for 28 years until her death in 1981. She had no organizational backing, carried no money, and would not even ask for food or shelter. When she began her pilgrimage she had taken a vow to "remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace, walking until given shelter and fasting until given food." At the time of her death, she was crossing the United States for the seventh time.
Chad Sigmon[edit]
Chad Sigmon was 38 years old when he ran across America starting April 1, 2013 from Jacksonville, FL and ending August 1 in San Diego, California. He ran for Mental Health Awareness and help end mental health stigma. He averaged around 22 miles a day for a total of 2,650 miles.[16][17]
William and Constance Stockdale, and their dog Taj Mahal[edit]
In 1949, for his honeymoon, he and his wife and boxer dog "Taj Mahal" walked "across America afoot," 3525 miles from Putnam, CT to Los Angeles, CA from Sept. 1949 to March 1950. Bill and Connie as they were known were some of the first known people to ever attempt this. This adventure was the start of a long and fulfilling career as a travel lecturer and writer for Bill. He and his wife visited over 65 countries on six different continents. He shared his love of travel through writing, television, and lectures. He wrote many articles for the Travel Section of the New York Times, the Boston Globe, and the Worcester Telegram. He died on September 14, 2009 at age 91, leaving his wife of 60 years.[18]
Björn Suneson[edit]
Björn Suneson, a 59-year-old Swedish marathon runner and economics journalist, began his run across the United States on June 11, 2007 in Florence, Oregon and finished in Virginia Beach, Virginia September 14, 2007. Amazingly enough, heading in opposite directions, with no prior knowledge of the existence of the other (according to his website) he and Joseph Casamassima crossed paths in Gibbon, Nebraska—about the half way point for both men.[19]
Björn Suneson, this time aged 62, ran across the US again, starting April 10, 2010 at Westport, Washington and finishing July 17 at Tybee Island, Georgia.[20]
Suneson has run across the USA a third time. At age 64, he claims to be the first to have run across the United States three times without a support vehicle. This time he ran from Seaside, Oregon (on 20 March 2012) to Ocean Grove, New Jersey (on 25 June 2012).[20]
Katie Visco[edit]
From March 29 through December 29, 2009, Pave Your Lane's Founder, Katie Visco; ran across America, from Boston to San Diego to spread this campaign. At this time, Visco became the 2nd youngest and 13th woman overall to run the 3,132 miles coast to coast.[21] The full detail of Katie's run can be found here
Bob Wieland[edit]
Bob Wieland is a Vietnam War veteran who lost his legs to a mortar mine in 1969. He "ran" across America on his hands, taking three years, eight months, and six days to travel from coast to coast and raise money for Vietnam war veterans.[22]
Zachary Bonner[edit]
Zachary Bonner is a homeless youth advocate. He started a non profit when he was 6 years old called the Little Red Wagon Foundation. At age 8 after seeing a documentary on a woman named Peace Pilgrim he decided to walk from his home in Tampa, Florida to the state Capitol Tallahassee. The following year at age 9 he continued his walk to Atlanta Ga and that summer at age 11 he walked from Atlanta to Washington DC. [23] He vowed to become the youngest to walk Coast to Coast and at age 12 completed that mission by walking from Jacksonville Beach to the Santa Monica Pier. During his walks he used media attention to raise awareness to homeless youth and highlighted many programs working to help these kids.[24] The journey took Zach 7 months to complete.

Removing Tonsils Could Treat Behavior Problems
Check Those Tonsils!
Annie Drohan used to stand next to her 5-year-old's bed every night and listen to her snore and breathe irregularly. "It was terrifying -- sometimes I'd count to 25 before Meghan would take her next breath," says the mom from Torrance, California. Then Meghan's teacher called to say that the kindergartner was falling asleep in class and seemed unfocused and easily distracted. "Meghan had been so bright that she'd started school early, but now her teacher wanted to hold her back a year," says Drohan. "My daughter was also gaining a lot of weight and even had trouble running around and keeping up with her friends."
Meghan's pediatrician attributed all of her symptoms -- which included frequent colds and a constant runny nose -- to allergies and prescribed antihistamines and steroid nose spray. Convinced that something else was wrong, Drohan decided to take her daughter to see Nina Shapiro, MD, a pediatric otolaryngologist at UCLA, who gave Meghan a totally different diagnosis: enlarged tonsils. "When Dr. Shapiro advised surgery, the first thing I thought of was how sick I felt after I had my own tonsils out as a kid," says Drohan. But when Meghan had the procedure last year, she was outside playing within the week. More importantly, she quickly stopped snoring and having breathing troubles, and within a couple weeks, her other symptoms -- both at home and at school -- completely disappeared.
Parents often assume that tonsillectomies are a thing of the past, but they're actually the second most common childhood surgery (following ear-tube insertions), with more than 600,000 performed every year. And 75 percent of these procedures are now done to treat nighttime breathing problems like Meghan's and related symptoms. "Unfortunately, a lot of these symptoms are easy for both doctors and parents to brush off, so a child's tonsils can get overlooked," says Marcella Bothwell, MD, a pediatric otolaryngologist at the University of Missouri, in Columbia. But getting an accurate diagnosis is essential.

I just installed foglights on my 2010 tacoma.I know how to adjust the height,but not a clue as to where they should legally point or how to determine where they are pointing. Can someone tell me how to perfom this procedure? TY
The following was offered-- from the headlight cutoff down............they should light up the portion of the road where the bottom cutoff of the headlights dont hit, plus or minus some. Does this mean that I find an isolated strip of road and do this, and if so how much road are we talking about.sorry but if the poster could explain just a wee bit more or someone else could pipe in,I would appreciate this. Thank you

text: blog postsHow do I give access to WebTools for a student employee?Dec 9, 2013 11:00 am by Lance CampbellSome general privilege pointers: 1) Students should never create tools. When staff create things we tag what college the item belongs too. This allows other people in your college to find things on the Unit tab if someone leaves. If students create things you won't be able to find it later. 2) Create admin staff, manager staff, admin student and manager student security groups in the Group Manager. Then for calendars, forms, etc on the Permissions tab assign the appropriate groups to the proper roles. That way if a student leaves tomorrow you remove the student from one or two groups in the Group Manager wrather than going into every tool and changing the permissions.

skip32 (Skipjack cipher for 32-bit numbers) for node
This is a node binding for skip32.c by Greg Rose found here:
SKIP32 is a 80-bit key, 32-bit block symmetric cipher based on Skipjack. It has the uncommon properties of being fast, creating very dissimilar encrypted values for consecutive input values, and producing output of the same size as the input (32-bit). These make this cipher particularly useful for obfuscating series of 32-bit integers (e.g. auto-incremented database ids). It is probably not appropriate for general cryptography.
CF. http://search.cpan.org/~esh/Crypt-Skip32-0.17/lib/Crypt/Skip32.pm for more discussion.
npm install skip32
git clone http://github.com/femto113/node-skip32.git
cd skip32
npm link
var Skip32 = require("skip32").Skip32;
// 80-bit key is provided to constructor as array of up to 10 bytes
var cipher = new Skip32([0x9b, 0x21, 0x96, 0xe, 0x1a, 0xcf, 0x24, 0x5f, 0x14, 0x93]);
// NOTE: unlike the objects created by crypto.createCipher,
// a Skip32 instance can be reused an unlimited number of times
// encrypt/decrypt take and return 32-bit unsigned integers (uint32)
var e = cipher.encrypt(1);
// e == 585760678
var d = cipher.decrypt(e);
// d == 1
a = [cipher.encrypt(2), cipher.encrypt(3), cipher.encrypt(4)];
// a == [ 534177265, 2331760290, 3033114818 ]
// node's built in hash algorithms can be handy for making keys, e.g.
var key = require('crypto').createHash('md5').update("some text here").
digest().substring(0, 10).split('').map(function (c) { return c.charCodeAt() });

Business networking has many advantages. You can use business networking to explore career opportunities and to expand new business development, as well as – among other things – form new partnerships with like-minded professionals.
Unlike a lot of other business networking apps, CityHour doesn't encourage you to mindlessly collect emails and profiles of other professionals, who you'll never likely meet or even ever interact with.
CityHour, you see, encourages you to meet its users face-to-face. It will even point you in the direction of like-minded professionals that share commonalities with you, based on several variables.
CityHour allows you to be incredibly efficient. You can fire up the app, find new contacts, and set a meeting time and a suitable location with just a few taps of your iPhone's display.
According to Alex Lubinsky, CEO of TrueBear Corporation and creator of CityHour, this is 'effective networking'. In Alex's experience, it's the people who are willing to spend time with you in person that are really looking to do business.
CityHour stands apart from similar apps, then. Instead of emphasizing 'the digital relationship', CityHour focuses on the human relationship.
Lubinsky believes that 'it's not what you know, it's who you know' is as true a statement today as it was 25 years ago, and that more often than not, companies hire based on personal relationships and referrals.
This is what CityHour encourages.
Currently, you can register and begin using the CityHour app with your LinkedIn account. The app will then pull in your profile in order to locate contacts both in and out of your current network.
CityHour will also sync contacts from your iPhone's address book. At the end of this month, an update to CityHour will be released that will also allow you to sign in to the app using your Facebook account.
Any meetings you make through the app and add to its integrated calendar will also be added to your iPhone's Calendar app, so you can easily view all of your personal and business appointments in one place.
Lubinsky is incredibly proud of CityHour. More specifically, he's incredibly proud of the app's interface, which is intuitive and easy to use in spite of CityHour's complexity; and the app's overall purpose, which is to have a positive impact on the lives of those who use it.
CityHour is currently available to download on iPhone. In fact, you can head on over to the App Store right this second and grab it for free.
Lubinsky and his team at TrueBear Corporation will release a new version of the app later this summer around the same time that Apple releases its iPhone 6. This version of the app will be compatible with the Cupertino company's new smartphone and the iPad.
By the end of this year, you'll be able to download CityHour on Android-powered devices, too.
Download CityHour from the App Store.

Good Products
I would give my opinion. First of all a relative buy to me one pair; she where on vacation and give this to me as a present knowing that for me in my country its difficult to find any type of jeans or pants. I was happy when i first put them; the fabric is very confortable and doesn't show those things that we as women don't like to be seen (cellulitis and the crotch..sorry for the words).i don't get tired of using my denim leggins.
Yes, I would recommend this item to a friend.
True to Size
New Favorite Leggings
I'm one of those girls who prefers going out in jeans, but they can be so uncomfortable. These are comfortable to wear but also make me feel comfortable about my image. Love them
Yes, I would recommend this item to a friend.
Essential piece
These leggings are my favorite for a girls night out. I like to wear them when I am feeling a little wild. They fit great and are super comfortable.
Yes, I would recommend this item to a friend.

Like the girl being harassed , OH and I bet NO ONE knowes that the Father, the Principal and the School Board being asked for help NOT once but several times and they idly stood by and did nothing , SO now I suppose that all you would just take it till the end of the school year after Your own Father wouldnt help and the Principal and the School Board just stood around and did nothing , This is a travisty and should have been been taken care of by the father when told , this is all over the National news kids are killing them selves and murdering others because nothing is done , OH BUT here people asked for help and got NONE !

Purchased a 2015 Corvette, and as I have done with all of my vehicles, wanted to keep it covered in my Garage. As it sits with my Thunderbird, also covered by a Coverking Coverbond 4, I wanted to ensure no dents or scratches. I like the Universal covers for their length and elastic on the ends. Does a great job.
Reviewed By Ron T (Nellysford, VA) Reviewed for a 2015 Chevy Corvette —1/31/2015 1:18 PM
Excellent fil. Material is thick making the cover bulky and harder to install. I prefer a thinner material for storage. The is no way it fits back in to the carry bag. I will buy another thinner cover for covering the car when not at home. l

"effective piece of software"
BitTorrent 3.4.2 is a very useful yet simple program to download torrent files. However, If you are thinking of getting this version, dont, as you should get bittorrent version 4 instead. It has more options and a better interface. There is also no spyware or adware that is bundled with this software. Overall a fantastic piece of software
No search option for files, however, you can go to bittorrent search engine sites like novatina.com to find the files you want.

"Basic Notation solution"
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have been using NotePad for a few years now. This is the easiest freeware notation tool I have used so far, and the instrument playback feature is a welcome feature. It is also possible to have up to eight parts in the music, and automatic transposition has saved me a few hours of work. The good news, however, stops there.
I often find myself doing first and second endings with a pen and ruler once the music is printed, and it is impossible to do time or key signature changes in the middle of the piece. The use of the QuickHelp documentation engine instead of the Help Viewer is jarring, and I often need to start a new document when working out the parts and time signature (these are locked in once a new document is created).
If all you need is some basic notation software, though, I would recommend NotePad. If you want to orchestrate your own symphony, look somewhere else.

LAS VEGAS — Prior to the start of the KioskCom Self Service Expo and The Digital Signage Show, the Self-Service & Kiosk Association Advisory Board gathered on Tuesday at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. With approximately 20 board members in attendance, the group elected eight officers and tackled many issues facing the association and the industry as a whole.
Joel Davis, president and CEO of KioskCom organizer JD Events, touched on the show's increasingly important relationship with SSKA and shared registration numbers with the group.
While, as expected, those figures are slightly down, Davis assured the board that show organizers "remain completely focused, and even obsessed, on delivering qualified buyers to exhibitors," and are making strategic moves to maximize the event's impact. Those efforts have included offering complimentary full-conference passes to attendees, getting involved in social media and a telemarketing drive in the wake of the recent swine flu scare.
Following the discussion of SSKA's presence at KioskCom, the group elected the following board members to office:
Also recognized were three new board members: Dave McCracken of Livewire Kiosk, Tom Pappalardo of Esprida Corp., and Tommy Woycik of NEXTEP SYSTEMS.
Executive director David Drain presented up-to-date membership numbers, which show a growing deployer constituency. Coupled with the election of three officer positions dedicated to that segment, SSKA chairman Dick Good emphasized the importance of the association's efforts to continue growing it as a membership base.
A highlight of the meeting was a presentation by guest attendee Chris Rezendes of VDC Research, who shared in-depth findings related to potential new deployment environments and what he predicts will be the astronomical growth of mobile commerce in the coming years. Rezendes challenged the SSKA to lead the way in channeling oft-repeated phrases such as "operational efficiency" and "customer service" into measurable and observable terms.
"If you as an association can achieve this, you will absolutely, positively become the center of gravity in this industry," he said.
Thus far this week, the SSKA presence at KioskCom has been noticeable. During the Self Service Excellence Awards Wednesday, Drain presented three Hall of Fame awards on behalf of the association. Recipients were Gregg Kaplan, president and COO of Coinstar; Rick Malone, founder and president of KIOSK Information Systems; and Bradley Walker, founder and CEO of Nanonation.
