The ambition to reach our full athletic potential also often leads runners to take on more than they can handle in their training. In his clinical work, Gunnar Brolinson, D.O., the head sports physician for Virginia Tech, sees three major training errors among endurance athletes: increasing mileage too quickly, increasing speeds too quickly, and increasing training density too quickly. "As a performance-based athlete, you're going to risk injury," he says. "And because people are always trying to push themselves hard, they will ignore the early signs of injury or illness."
Old running standbys like increasing your mileage by no more than 10 percent a week may seem overly generalized, but they point to a mode of caution that's critical to long-term success. Learning your individual limitations is just as important. If running a speed session leaves you feeling worn down and excessively sore, Larson says, then hitting the track three times per week is probably not in your best interest. Open your mind to alternatives, even if you think it will offend your training partners or coach.
Despite the sales pitches of manufacturers and cure-all gurus, health is not a switch we can easily flip from healthy to injured and back again. Health exists on a continuum with a great deal of gray area between completely healthy and totally immobilized. At one extreme end are athletes like Yoder Begley, whose 2010 U.S. championship in the 10,000m came on less than 30 days of running, and whose sub-15:00 5,000m was earned with a cortisone shot in her Achilles. On the other end is Sage Canaday, a marathoner and mountain runner who has managed five years (and counting) of injury-free 90-mile weeks. Yet even he isn't bulletproof. "Whenever I feel an ache or pain, I back off of my training immediately," he says. "And I've spent years slowly building my mileage up to that level."
Subscribing to health and injury as an all-or-nothing proposition makes us more likely to run through any pain that doesn't stop us in our tracks. As the head coach of the ZAP Fitness elite running group, you might think Peter Rea would have a vested interest in having his runners push through these types of ailments. The opposite is true. Rea views everything through a long-term lens, and acknowledges that just because you can physically run through an injury doesn't mean it's in your best interest.
"It's not a sign of weakness in any way to let us know if something is bothering them," says Rea of the message he and his staff send to their elites. "We want them communicating with us wholeheartedly if there's anything out of the ordinary. Generally the way we react to that is, 'Take the next couple of days and back off.'" A simple step like that often pushes us from the precipice of disaster back to our normal routine in less than a week.
The psychological and physiological causes of injury walk hand in hand. Compulsive, Type A runners may drive themselves to overuse injuries, but the most obsessive runner with picture-perfect form may run for decades without serious injury, while a laid-back runner with knock-knees might feel blessed to get in a 30-minute jog without having to flag down an ambulance. And the injury, in the end, is physical, a breakdown of bone, muscle, tendon or ligament.
To get the full picture of injuries, we need some basic physiology. Thanks largely to the minimalist movement, biomechanics has entered the everyday runner's lexicon in recent years and for good reason. By using a form that increases efficiency while minimizing running's shock to the musculoskeletal system, we offer ourselves the best chance to stay healthy and run our fastest. Scientists such as Harvard's Daniel Lieberman have advocated an ideal set of running biomechanics that's highlighted by landing properly on the forefoot or midfoot. Doing so produces lower impact forces and eliminates overstriding, both of which should help a runner stay healthier over time.
But can a universal standard for biomechanics really hold up? Runners today are a more heterogeneous group than they were during the first running boom. A biomechanical weakness that would have disqualified one from being a runner a few decades ago is simply something to learn to overcome now, and the local weekend warrior who logs 10 miles per week considers himself just as much a runner as the Olympian. Yet their physical characteristics and backgrounds are likely quite different. This makes conducting and interpreting meaningful research more difficult.
To top it off, there's a large subset of the running population that's physically incapable of attaining ideal biomechanics. This is why Brolinson first looks for excessively flat or high-arched feet, extreme overpronation, limb alignment abnormalities, and bowlegs or knock-knees in injured patients. He also spends a great deal of time assessing whether one leg is longer than another, particularly if there's a "preponderance of injuries on one side." Not everyone with a leg-length discrepancy or other physical abnormality is going to get hurt, Brolinson points out, but extremes can cause running injuries.
Rea at ZAP Fitness is a strong believer in adjusting training based on one's physiology. One of his most talented athletes in the mid-2000s, miler Brendan O'Keefe, was severely bow-legged and never able to hold consistent mileage without major injury. After two years of frustration, Rea switched O'Keefe to running only four days per week. The other three days were reserved for cross-training. His weekly mileage rarely exceeded 50, but O'Keefe was able to train consistently for the first time in his life and went on to run 3:40 for the 1500m and qualify for the 2008 U.S. Olympic trials.
Someone with good running form is still at risk of getting injured or significantly slowing down if their muscular endurance is lacking, says author and musculoskeletal therapist Phil Wharton. "Biomechanics is huge, but we've got to be able to hold those biomechanics," he says. "We've got to maintain that postural alignment through the whole stride phase and when we get tired. Otherwise, that's when you see people shuffling."
Andrew Lemoncello, a Scottish distance runner training in Flagstaff, Ariz., who competed in the 3,000m steeplechase in the 2008 Olympics, has spent 18 months and counting trying to figure out the root cause of his problems. He's been battling injury since tearing his left hamstring in the 2011 Fukuoka Marathon.
"I had an ache in that area all year, but we couldn't get it properly diagnosed, as it would go away and then return," Lemoncello says. "I had to pull out of the world championships marathon the day before I was supposed to leave because of this. The strain of racing the marathon put it over the edge and finally tore the tendon."
After a platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection and six months of cross-training in the gym, Lemoncello slowly built his mileage back up. But then in July 2012 he re-injured himself after setting a PR in a 10-mile race. He spent 45 minutes at drug testing after crossing the finish line and by the time he got to cool-down, the hamstring area was already sore and tight. At the beginning of 2013, he could only run up to 60 minutes without pain. He and his sports medicine team are trying to determine if his injury might be connected to sciatic nerve and lower back problems, as well.
"I will go back to Scotland and work with the Institute of Sport there," Lemoncello says. "They will do a full-body assessment to see exactly what is going on to cause this problem, as it is reoccurring. A full biomechanical assessment will be done to make sure that my body is equally strong on each side."
In recent decades, physical therapists have refocused much of their time to looking at muscle imbalances when assessing the root cause of an injury. Simply put, a muscle imbalance occurs when two or more muscles or muscle groups that oppose each other are disproportionate in terms of strength and flexibility. Imbalances can be present in both agonist/antagonist pairings (like the quadriceps and hamstrings) and side-to-side pairings (left hamstring versus right hamstring). A weakness or tightness caused by a muscle imbalance can place undue strain on various joints and soft tissue, negatively altering biomechanics.
When doing an intake exam, Wharton looks for a limited range of motion in the major muscle groups of the legs. Almost across the board, he sees weak abductors (outer thigh) and adductors (inner thigh) among runners, and their glutes "are usually shut down and detrained, not firing at all." This affects the hamstrings and quadriceps, which places unnecessary stress on the knee. This is what medical specialists refer to when they describe looking up and down the kinetic chain, seeing how a dysfunction in one area can lead to an injury in another part of the body.
To fix muscle imbalances, physical therapists recommend specific sets of exercises that isolate the weaker muscle and gradually grow in complexity. For instance, a runner with weak glutes would benefit by starting with an exercise that isolates the glutes (such as donkey kicks), then gradually progressing to more complex exercises that incorporate all the muscles in the upper leg (lunges). Wharton is also a big proponent of running-specific exercises that use full of range of motion and increase strength and balance.

Ness vs. Batesole
Taxes, transportation, growth and future challenges - all four topics and more popped up at an Alexandria mayor candidate forum Monday.
Speaking before a packed crowd at the Kiwanis noon luncheon at Broadway Ballroom, incumbent Mayor Dan Ness and challenger Virgil Batesole took turns fielding five questions during a 45-minute exchange.
Although the candidates did not directly debate each other, they had a difference of opinion over a few issues, including city spending.

"The Church Is Born"
As Jesus taught his disciples to pray, He told them to ask for their bread "day by day" (Matt. 6:1 1). Life is a "day by day" journey of untold interruptions. One day we are celebrating life to the fullest; the next day, like Job of old, we are standing in the ashes of our dreams. Through the Ministries at Ebenezer, we teach men, women, boys and girls that Jesus can stand on the deck of their souls and calm the storms. God, has blessed and has been extremely merciful to Ebenezer, that is why we must give Him the honor, the glory and the praise for all things.

Fool: A Novel (edition 2009)
by Christopher Moore
Work details
Fool by Christopher Moore
No current Talk conversations about this book.
C'e' un sacco di Shakespeare in tutte queste pagine, ma c'e' anche l'ironia irriverente di un americano amanuense che colora tutte le pagine di lazzi, frizzi e trombate medioevali. Il risultato è un fuoco d'artificio di gioia e leggerezza, e potrebbe essere un buon motivo per decidere di aprire un libro e fare dell'oggi un giorno con una nota positiva.
Sempre che la sguadrinaggine esplicita delle tre figlie di Lear - tacendo delle qualità di Drool e della vigliaccheria di Lear - non vadano a disturbare il benpensante che risiede in ognuno di noi.
A dire il vero, non necessariamente in tutti.
Ad essere onesti, il mio si è fatto di nebbia... :-)
PS: alla fine, Moore rimane un degli autori piu' lievi (senza essere banale) e intelligenti (senza essere noioso) che abbia mai letto.
Having not read Shakespeare since high school, and having only read one other book by Moore, I was unsure what to expect with this book. I was very surprised by what I read. You have language, Old English sayings and swearing, and sarcasm and humor able to fit any time period all wrapped up nicely in this retelling of a classic play.
Vulgar, depraved, and laugh-out-loud funny, Fool will please fans of raunchy comedy and the Bard alike. Shakespeare would be proud.
I enjoyed this version of "King Lear" as told by the Fool, with various cameos from other plays (witches from "Macbeth"). I especially liked Pocket's interactions with Lear and Cordelia.
An absolutely hysterical take on Shakespeare's King Lear from the eyes of the jester Pocket. With the company of his monkey Jeff and his large and dimwitted pal Drool he whores and swears and connives and ridicules his way through Moore's take of Shakespeare's very involved and tragic play. Not for those easily offended with swearing whoring and general underhanded dealings.

Where to place a cooktop/double ovens?
Initially, I decided to go with an induction range. However, I really would like an induction cooktop and double ovens. I love to cook and now have to wait often on one dish to finish before I can start something else. This is especially true when I invite my family over on most Sundays.
Please let me know if there is a way to add a cooktop and double ovens to the layout below. I plan to use Dutchwood for custom cabinets or Kraftmaid (Home Depot) The space to the left of the island is for a table and chairs.
I would keep the cooktop where the range is and have a GE Single\Double oven under counter in the island. I would also have the baking center in the island. Very handy with the oven on the end of your long island d and sink right behind you.
I think it depends. I was thinking about having my 'meal' range and then the GE Single/Double under counter in my baking center. I also have a small catering business and hope to expand in our next house. So I think it really depends on how often you bake. I want two baking ovens. You could also do a cooktop with the Single/Double underneath.
I refer to the GE Single/Double because I believe it is still the only double oven that fits in a regular oven space that can also go under counter.
The place where double ovens would fit pretty well would be at the end of the L to the left of the sink.in if you are willing to make that wall not have a symmetrical layout. Alternatively, you could put one oven under counter in the island and keep one in the range.
Or perhaps move the fridge to the left of the sink and put the double ovens to the right of the cooktop. That would make for a nice fridge to sink to cooktop flow for prep and would put the fridge near the table for easy access from the table without getting in the cook's way. Someone putting together a salad would work between the fridge, sink and possibly island end also keeping out of the way of the cook.
I'm not at home, but the latest issue of Consumer Reports showed a range that had dual ovens that they claimed could each hold a turkey and I think it was also induction - but I don't recall the brand and don't know if it would be satisfactory.
I like cloudswift's idea of moving the fridge and putting the wall oven where the fridge is. That also puts the ovens closer to the hood than if you put them left of the sink. Having wall ovens, I can tell you that it is very handy to have them near the cooktop so you can just step over to look in them while you're cooking.
A double wall oven gives you ergonomic advantages over ovens below counters - you don't have to bend as much. And I agree with cloudswift's points about having the fridge closer to the table.
You would lose that pretty symmetry, but I always go for function first, then make it as pretty as you can.
I haven't read anything other than your post.
I have had my own kitchen for 35+ years and I notice two things:
I want to have a counter immediately available whenever I take anything out of the oven. And the range top does not count as a counter.
I want to have a counter immediately available whenever I'm taking something out of the fridge.
Another thing - hot ovens and toddler traffic is not a good mix. Oven should be placed where a person can see the oven from a distance. Some little kid comes running around a corner into a hot stove....ouch!! Kids should have a visual of the oven's open door - no surprises.
My father was a Safety Engineer and accident prevention was drilled into my head.
Thanks for your suggestions. I have been sick with a gland infection the last two days. It's been awful.
Now back to the kitchen. I will have plans drawn to move the frig to the left of the sink. I love that suggestion and think it will work. My only concern would be the doors of the frig getting in the way of those sitting at the table. Also, the pantry is to the far left of the sink. Should I replace the pantry with the frig and move the pantry to where the cabinets are to the right OR should I replace the cabinets with the frig and leave the pantry where it is now? We are removing a small pantry and making it a pull out for better efficiency. My kitchen is really small; however, I want a design that will work with the space available.
I'd lean toward putting the fridge to the right of the pantry if you are keeping the pantry because I think the fridge gets accessed more often in getting food ready for cooking (at least it does in our house).
The fridge doors won't get in the way of those sitting at the table much more than the pantry doors would. If you put the fridge to the right of the pantry you reduce that too. If you use a french door fridge, the doors will stick out less than the pantry cabinet doors.
It seems like the space between the wall and the island is pretty tight for fitting a table. How wide is that space? It looks like the island is 4' wide, could you use a 2' island instead?

Adam Resnick has pulled together hilarious tales from his life that illustrate his reluctance to interact with people and the belligerence that raises its head when he is forced into social situations. He "refuses to be burdened by chores like basic social obligation and personal growth, living instead by his own steadfast rule: I refuse to do anything I don't want to do." Resnick is an Academy Award-winning author for NBC's "Late Night with David Letterman," so his self-deprecation is no surprise.
I am not usually a fan of poetry, but this book is an exception. Many forms of poetry are used to tell the story of Matthew Shepherd, the University of Wyoming student who was brutally beaten and left to die on a fence post in October 1998, merely because he was gay. The poet, Lesléa Newman, writes poems from the perspective of various people involved, as well as inanimate objects (ie. the fence, the road). The result is incredibly moving.
When I originally saw a preview for this book, I thought, "My ten year old son is going to love this". What science-minded kid doesn't want to know how to make a burglar alarm with potato chips or how to open a padlock with a tin can? Unfortunately, once I actually got a chance to take a look at the book myself, I found that due to some of the content, it may be better suited for a more mature audience. That being said, I found the book quite funny and entertaining. In fact, if you were ever a fan of the old TV series, The Red Green Show, you may enjoy this author's humor.

I felt as though I read this book from a distance. I watched this heartfelt story play out from across the broad and dusty farmlands of Saskatchewan and through the dense Canadian wilderness. Early on, this story casts a spell. 83 year-old Etta sets off on a cross-country walk with the mere goal of seeing the ocean. She leaves behind her husband Otto to bide his time until she returns, if in fact she remembers to return. The novel unfolds the couple's history, binding them through letters, sent and unsent.

Jonathan Carroll's work is often described as magic realism, but I think Neil Gaiman said it best by stating that reading Carroll is "as if John Updike were to write a Philip K Dick novel."

"The Book of Unknown Americans" by Cristina Henriquez tells the touching stories impacting the lives of a group of immigrant families sharing space in a Newark, Delaware apartment building. The immigrants have come together from various countries around the globe such as Mexico, Puerto Rico, Paraguay, Panama, Nicaragua, and Guatemala. Each of them face common and individual challenges related to assimilation into their adopted American homeland. Central to Henriquez's story are teenagers Maribel Rivera and Mayor Toro w
The astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of New York's Hayden Planetarium, is a familiar figure to those of us addicted to those documentaries about space that pop up on PBS and the History Channel. Tyson is an affable figure on TV, and proves to be the same in print. This book is a collection of articles that he wrote for "Natural History" magazine. They present complex topics in a clear, conversational manner, infused with humor. Thought-provoking and entertaining.
A fascinating introduction to the history and design of tree forms used to explain knowledge in a visual way, this book is filled with historical and modern tree designs. From hand-lettered medieval trees showing the relationship of Biblical characters to modern computer-generated trees of Twitter feeds, there are 200 wonderful examples of all sorts of tree styles. There is something for everyone—square representations of states by area in 1939, the X-Men family tree, or icicle trees used by statisticians.
Diego Rivera was twice the size and age of Frida Kahlo when they married in August of 1929 but they seemed destined to be together. Rivera was a famous Mexican muralist who used the fresco method of painting on wet plaster. Kahlo was known for her self-portraits showing her suffering due to internal injuries resulting from a bus accident and for her depictions and deep love of animals. As a child, she contracted polio. She had always been sickly. Reef has written a book about one of the most interesting artist couples in history.

This book reminded me a bit of watching West Wing. We don't realize how the White House is buzzing 24/7. Kantor takes us inside for an eye-opening expose of life in America's most famous mansion. Michelle and Barack Obama managed to adapt to a very dramatic change in their lifestyle with grace and maturity. But it wasn't all rosy.
Henry & Glenn Forever & Ever
Tom Neely & Friends
This is an adult graphic novel about a fictional domestic relationship between Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins. Much license is taken here, as Danzig and Rollins are most definitely not in a domestic relationship, but their real life personalities come through in the fictional character's day to day lives. This gives it a niche audience. But if you are at all familiar with the real life characters, you will be well rewarded with plenty of laughs.
Ove is a 59 year old grump with very strong ideas of what competence and a job well done mean; he also knows when someone isn't capable of either. His wife has passed away within the last year and now he no longer can find a reason to continue. His reluctant, growing relationship with his new neighbors, however, keeps interfering with his plans and expanding his world. ("Considering how they are constantly preventing him from dying, these neighbors of his are certainly not shy when it comes to driving a man to the brink of madness and suicide. That's for sure." 160)

The more things change, the more they will stay the same.
That's how DuPont Washington Works describes the transition of its Performance Products area to a new company next year.
The only change visible from DuPont will be the name-or names-on the sign.
As we first reported December 18, DuPont is spinning off its performance chemicals area of the plant to a newly-created company, Chemours.
The current site manager says while that part of the plant will be a new company, not only will the employment remain same, so will the products those employees produce.
"The future, when the spinoff is complete, is that the Washington Works site will have three companies," says Site Manager Bob Fehrenbacher. "But the products, and the employee base, will, by and large, be changed. We'll still be here, making the same products with the same people, and we'll have Chemours, DuPont and Kuraray on site."
Kuraray is the Japanese-owned company who, earlier this year, took over DuPont's Butacite manufacturing unit.
Fehrenbacher adds he will become manager of the chemours unit when the new company begins operations next July first.
Updated: 12/18/2014 6:15 P.M.
More big changes on the way for DuPont Washington Works: its Performance Chemicals division next year will have new owners.
Washington Works manager Bob Fehrenbacher says the Performance Chemicals unit is being spun off as a separate company named Chemours.
The change happens July first, affecting close to half of the plant's 1,600 employees. That means roughly half of them will be working for Chemours beginning July 1,2015.
DuPont made the announcement late Thursday.
Fehrenbacher says Chemours will have separate management and operate as its own business, sharing only utilities with DuPont.
This is the second major change at Washington Works in the past year.
Its Butacite division was sold to a Japanese company in 2013.
The DuPont corporation is considering selling or spinning-off its performance chemicals division.
The company made the announcement a day after reporting a twelve percent drop in its second quarter earnings.
In a company statement, DuPont says it's considering ways to provide growth options for its shareholders.
Robin Stemple, spokeswoman for DuPont Washington Works, says products are made at the plant for the performance chemicals division-as well as for other du-pont divisions.
Stemple added it's too early to speculate what that might mean for the local plant.
Washington Works is one of the area's largest private employers and is celebrating its 65th anniversary this month.

Need advice: New cat
Wow, this is our second stray in two months. Took the last one for vet check. Someone told me you can buy worm treatments at the tractor supply store. Any advice on how I can treat cat at home. I know she needs rabies injection and vet needs to do that.
Thank you,
Bless you for taking her in!
I'll never use feed store "veterinary" products again.
I very nearly lost a cat using a wormer from a feed store;
those things are manufactured in other countries & labeled as appropriate for cats even though they're extremely toxic.
I my own self would take her to a free or low-cost clinic;
check with your local shelter, rescue groups, google, etc, & don't give up if the first one tells you that you'll have to bring her to their place & pay a high price.
The SPCA of Texas is famous for doing that, & it just isn't true;
there are all kinds of other options.
Take care!

Justifying Word Text

Posted February 27, 2013 at 11:47AM
I'm typing a magazine in Word 2003 (Windows 7) and experiencing a problem when trying to justify the text. Every line in the paragraph justifies perfectly but the last line is sometimes only two words which are stretched across the whole page. I've tried to highlight every line except the last one but it still gets stretched out. How can I prevent this last line problem? Thanks as always for an anticipated solution!

If you highlight the last line only, and left justify it, does that overcome the problem?

Thanks for reply onthelimit1. Afraid it doesn't help as it still extends the letters even though highlighted left justification.

It you use the 'Enter' key after your full stop at the end of the line that should do it.

The enter key gives a new paragraph but instead you may want to try shift & enter together.

spacious room, hotel is located next to the metro. - Anonymous
The staff was very courteous and always had a smile on their faces no matter what time of the day we'd come in or go out. Rooms were cozy and had enough space for the 2 of us along with our 2 large bags. The location is great and as soon as you step out of the hotel, you're staring at the river Neva, which was a very lovely sight. - Anonymous
I liked everything, almost. Especially the staff of the hotel and the
cleanliness of the room. The design of the rooms is also very
attractive. I has a room in black and white which I liked a lot. The
food at supper was very good. But unlike it was the case in one of the
previous review of the hotel (from Poland), the supper was not free of
charge. I paid for it ;) - Anonymous
This hotel has the best SPA and pool section. You won't be disappointed for sure. Great service, great price! - Armen
Location convenient for excursions , romantic Walks.sympathetic, attentive staff. Lovely coffee on breakfast.guest rooms are cosy and comfortable. I plan to stay in this hotel in the following visits - Anonymous
The location is in the very centre of city next to all the sightseeings, the value for money is great - Anonymous
The staffs are very friendly, breakfast. - Anonymous
We chose to go in early March for our wedding anniverssary. The hotel is
located within walking distance (for us 70-year olds) of Peterand Paul
fortress and the Hermitage crossing two different pairs of bridges
across the Neva in each case. The steadily reducing distance as you
approach lends an enchantment to the panorama you may not enjoy staying
in the heart of the city. We stayed three nights and there were four
different receptionists during that time. Each spoke excellent English,

At The Redwoods International Montessori Pre-school & Kindergarten we offer a full-day academic environment plus enrichment programs with before and after-school care for the convenience of working parents. We believe in observing and supporting the natural development of children.
This approach allows our kids to develop creativity and problem solving, social and time management skills.
All while learning to contribute to society and the environment.
Our kids get to learn to mentor others, share, explore, sing, dance, and learn the languages, geographies and cultures from around the world.
They truly enjoy walking in the door and getting to work on their own special projects, joining circle time, looking at the pets, solving puzzles.
Each week features a different part of the world, covering its geography, people and culture.
Your child is encouraged to bring items from those parts of the world, to share with others.
Guest speakers and special projects deepen the experience for each student.

Boredom: UNCAGED EDITION!! 0
Just out of curiosity, is there a "caged edition?" Whatever. Here is another game that looked promising in previews. Raven, the makers of the excellent X-Men Legends and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance series take the badass mutant of all time, played with bravado by Hugh Jackman, and wonder what would happen if Wolverine's claws weren't in a PG-13 movie. The videos showed Hugh Jackman slicing people's arms off, their legs off, using a live helicopter to blend a dude's head. Lastly, the makers proudly...0 out of 0 found this review helpful.
Acid Clash 1
To say it straight, Zeno Clash is a great game. It features some truly excellent melee combat, decent shooting, gorgeous visuals, and one of the most memorable game worlds and atmosphere in memory. These elements work together in a great synergy, complementing each other to give you an experience of unending thrills and delights. Zeno Clash casts you as Ghat, a lean but tough young guy who just killed his parent Father-Mother.

Manwheel 0
Wheelman looked awesome in previews. Vin Diesel jumping from cars like in the Matrix. Ramming cars. Freaking spinning around cars and BLOWING SHIT UP!! It took everything you wanted to play about car chases and made it ten times more batshit crazy. The third person combat looked wonky, but since the developers promised to focus on vehicular combat that didn't seem to be so much of a liability. All those great videos and previews are probably what made me judge Wheelman a big disappointment. All ...1 out of 1 found this review helpful.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Thursday, November 14, 11 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Alaska Airlines Arena (10,000) -- Seattle, Washington. Television: Pac-12 Network. Home Record: UCI 0-1, Washington 1-0. Away Record: UCI 0-1, Washington 0-0. Neutral Record: UCI 0-0, Washington 0-0. Conference Record: UCI 0-0, Washington 0-0. Series Record: UC Irvine leads, 1-0.
GAME NOTES: The UC Irvine Anteaters try once again to come up with their first win of the new season, as they match up against the Washington Huskies in non- conference action at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle.
The Anteaters are playing their third game of the season after bowing to both Fresno State (98-97) and Pacific (84-79). This game marks the first of the campaign outside of the Golden State for UCI.
As for the Huskies, this is just their second game of the season following an 88-78 decision over Seattle on Sunday. The team is slated to take on Eastern Washington at home this coming weekend before finally hitting the road a week from now versus Indiana in New York City.
The Anteaters won the only previous meeting between the programs back in 2000 by a score of 56-55 in Seattle.
Against Pacific, the Anteaters turned to Alex Young who scored 17 points on 6- of-9 shooting from the field, but his effort and those of his teammates fell short against the Tigers at the Spanos Center. Chris McNealy added 15 points, Will Davis 12 and Luke Nelson 11 points off the bench for a squad that shot just 25-of-40 at the free-throw line, compared to an impressive 31-of-37 showing at the stripe for the hosts.
After two games, McNealy is the leading scorer for the Anteaters with 21.0 ppg, shooting 46.7 percent from the field, but only 55.6 percent (10-of-18) at the charity stripe. As a group, UCI has knocked down only 56.5 percent at the free-throw line and still it is producing 88.0 ppg, thanks to the efforts of Young (18.5 ppg) and Davis (11.0 ppg). However, the defense has been less than stellar with 91.0 ppg allowed.
Against Seattle, the Huskies were led by C.J. Wilcox who tallied 22 points, one of five players in double figures for the hosts, while he also grabbed seven rebounds and handed out four assists in order to offset his five turnovers. The rest of the Huskies combined for only four miscues in the matchup.
Andrew Andrews was responsible for 21 points, Darin Johnson 16 and seven boards off the bench, followed by Mike Anderson and Shawn Kemp with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Washington shot only 5-of-20 behind the 3-point line in the matchup, but more than made up for that deficit by outscoring the visitors at the free-throw line, 33-11.
Until the Anteaters can show that they can clamp down at the defensive end, the team is doomed to come up short in high-scoring affairs.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Washington 93, UC Irvine 79

Browns W.R. Josh Gordon Facing One-Year Ban
Matt Sullivan/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon failed another drug test and will now face a one-year suspension, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reports.
Gordon tested positive for alcohol, a source said, confirming a report by Pro Football Talk.
Gordon was suspended at the end of the season for violating team rules after missing the first 10 games of the season, to go along with being arrested for driving while impaired after speeding down a street in Raleigh, North Carolina during the summer.
Prior to that arrest, he was suspended the first two games of the 2013 season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.

Desert Splash AdventuresRead MoreAfter learning to fly in college, Arizona native Rob Norberg flew to Alaska, where he spent 20 years traversing mountains, streams, and valleys as a fishing guide and seaplane pilot. But the Arizona climate eventually beckoned him back. Norberg now leads tours five times a day in his Cessna Caravan seaplane, carrying passengers high above sights including the Salt River Canyon, Roosevelt Dam, and Tonto Indian Ruins and providing passengers with thought-provoking facts and history. His nine-passenger plane ensures a window seat for each passenger, and comes equipped with personal headsets so they can each listen to the plane's adorable heartbeat.15115 N Airport Dr.Scottsdale, AZ US
