Bike safety refresher, plus upcoming rides
Dan Bates / The Herald
Dr. Art Grossman rides south, past the bluff at Legion Park in Everett on a sunny day in early February. Grossman is nearly 4,000 miles into his goal to ride 13,000 miles this year.

We're all a bit rusty on that first ride, so why not review these bicycle safety tips before you hit the road?
These and more can be found at the Washington State Department of Transportation website, www.wsdot.wa.gov:
In Washington, bicycles are considered vehicles, so cyclists must obey all the rules of the road.
•Never ride against traffic.
Scan the road behind you and learn to look back over your shoulder without losing your balance or swerving, or use rear-view mirrors.
Wear a helmet and brightly colored clothing and don't ride with headphones.
Use hand signals to tell motorists and pedestrians your next move.
Make eye contact with drivers; assume drivers don't see you until you are sure that they do.
Use lights at night. By law, cyclists should have a white headlight that's visible from at least 500 feet ahead and a rear reflector or taillight visible up to 300 feet from behind.
Take a ride
Now that you've got your bike out and done a few rides, there are a couple of local organized rides coming up you might want to take on.
The first ride on the horizon on May 5 is the Camano Climb.
The ride, sponsored by the Stanwood-Camano Kiwanis, is a scenic 39 miles around the perimeter of Camano Island with views of the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Skagit Bay, Port Susan, Saratoga Passage and Whidbey Island. You don't have to get on a ferry for this ride.
If 39 miles is too much, you can choose a 24-mile route.
The ride is supported with a map, one food stop and emergency mechanical assistance.
Also, this ride provides a free spaghetti dinner for all riders at the end.
The start and finish is at the clubhouse at the Camano Country Club, 1243 Beach Drive, Camano Island.
You can find a registration form at www.arlingtonvelosport.com. You can register on ride day starting at 7:30 a.m. for $35. Course closes by 4 p.m.
The Skagit Spring Classic takes place on May 12.
This ride, put on by the Skagit Bicycle Club, is also known as the "cookie ride." Members of the bike club bake thousands of cookies of all types and then load the rest stops with them, along with other snacks and water.
The ride also offers an all-you-can-eat, end-of-the-ride meal from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Along with food, the ride is supported by drivers stationed along the route who will pick you up if you are too tired or if your bike breaks. However, the drivers are not bike mechanics.
You have a choice of four routes:
•The 100-mile Century Ride, through the upper Skagit flats, goes north on Chuckanut Drive, south on the old Samish highway, around Samish Lake, and back to Skagit county.
The Metric Century, a challenging 62-mile route that has more than 2,400 feet in elevation gain and includes the Chuckanut Drive area.
The Rolling 45 is for the rider looking to take on longer distances. The course has a ratio that is about 40 percent flat and 60 percent rolling hills.
The No Sweat 25 Route, a mostly flat ride through northern Skagit County and around the Samish River with views of Padilla Bay and the San Juan Islands.
The rides start at 7 a.m. May 12 at Bayview Elementary School, 15241 Josh Wilson Road, Burlington.
You can register at the website at www.skagitspringclassic.org/ Download the registration form and return it postmarked by May 5 with $35. Register the day of the ride for $40 with cash or check.

Where's Art?
When we read about a person's triumphs it's usually after the fact. This time, we can watch a triumph unfold.
Dr. Art Grossman, 66, of Everett plans on riding 13,000 miles on his bike in 2013.
Every month or so, The Herald will check in on Grossman's mileage to see if he's on track. Grossman's miles so far this year are 3,977.5.
Remember, these are all road miles. Though Grossman leads several cycle classes in the area, including four mornings a week at the Everett Y, he doesn't count those indoor miles.
So come along for the ride and together we'll cheer him on.

Not going to happen.
I would like to see us trade for Brandon Jennings. Bucks get Vasquez, Aminu, and a good deal not losing Jennings for nothing. We get our PG and let Rivers be SG of the future. Maybe All-Star? Superstar?. Move Gordon to Pacers for Paul George and whatever else to make salaries match. I know some things need to be tweaked, but we keep our core and add 2 young All-Star caliber players. Jennings would be a superstar with our big men plus Rivers and George alongside him. Guy has matured from previous years and should even more under Monty, Dell, and a new contract. I think Jennings and Rivers is a better guard duo for future as a Rivers and Gordon back court. Pacers get a hometown guard duo with Hill and Gordon a more natural fit then George who needs to play Grangers spot. Monty would turn George into one of the best all around SF's in the league! Overall a lineup of starters: Jennings, Rivers, George, Anderson, Davis and back ups: Roberts, Henry, Miller, Smith, Lopez or however you choose to put our big men. Plus a top 10 draft pick maybe even 5. We are set for the future to win a championship. Maybe I'm dreaming, but I think it's a strong possibility. Hate it or Love it give me a reply.
Not going to happen.
You need to turn on trade override in 2k for them to happen.
O yea I forgot. Because on the game Gordon is not better than George. O yea George is also a natural shooting guard from Indiana who went to Indiana and probably wants to play in Indiana and has a whole fan base and staff disgruntled. Gordon instantly sells tickets in Indiana unlike Paul George. The same team president George honored in the dunk contest has since been replaced. I would say very possible trade for both teams. Jennings 82 rating is so high that no way they take a hot Vasquez who would be nice next to Ellis who they want in the future not Jennings. Aminu would also be a huge upgrade on the wing over anything they got. So keep playing 2k bro funny you know about the trade override. You probably just made the team I suggested.
I would like your trade suggestion and then be a funny man.
Maybe we offer the bucks a future 1st? Like I said a couple of tweaks and yes I think trades could be and will be done. Yes I honestly think Indiana would take Gordon for George in a heartbeat. Maybe we aren't playing him for a reason he gets traded passes team physical. Do you know that's not gonna happen?
I hope this does not go to the dump
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
I understand everyone has an opinion not trying to argue or anything. I believe all teams come out very well in these trades added a couple of tweaks. Hornets "pelicans" come out big winners as they have before if they pull these off.
Maybe we add Lopez in on a deal who is on a great contract for a team to take. As long as we keep Rivers, Davis, Anderson, and Smith I will let swaps happen.
Nobody is going to trade for Gordon unless they get real value back. He just doesn't have any value.
Pacers wouldn't move George for Gordon during the offseason, what makes you think they'll do it now when he's playing like this?
It's astonishing the amount of unrealistic trades people are proposing lately.
It's astonishing that's all you can say and not come up with your own, but only bash others. Nothing new from what I have seen on this site. I want you to explain to me how it's not possible for us to move Vasquez and Aminu for a Jennings? The bucks let Vasquez cover the bigger sgs and let Ellis cover the point. Plus you ad a young potential defensive and slashing sf in Aminu. You get an expiring rookie deal with Aminu plus a very serviceable pg in Vasquez. Also has a couple more years on contract at a good price, happens to fit perfectly into Bucks rotation alongside Ellis. Tell me how it's not possible except for your great insight of "not gonna happen" or "go play 2k", If you have something let me know it sucks and why. Or respond with a better trade you think is possible.
I don't know how you know pacers wouldn't move him for Gordon straight up. Your relying on a rumor? If its nots possible maybe we trade Gordon for Granger and move both guys home. It's not Larry Bird anymore it's Donny Nelson. Maybe he brings in a hometown boy in Gordon. If all works out he's a genius if not he's not the 1st GM to make a bad deal.
To me the bucks don't have many options and taking Vasquez, Aminu, and a future 1st is not so bad. Or I guess they lose Jennings for nothing. The trade market for him is not to high with all the good points and big market teams flooded with them or big contracts that gives them no flexibility to sign Jennings. One way or another I see Jennings in a Hornets uniform wether that's through trade or free agency because he will not be a Buck.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
The trade value? Gordon, Aminu, and future 1st were traded for cp3. Seriously? I understand he is not as tradeable as what he once was. He is more valuable to Indiana then any other team because of local ties. Helps them sell tickets if he comes close to the Gordon we traded for. Guy still has potential to be a top 3 SG, but somehow it is not possible to get a Paul George or Granger for him?
Why did you post this? To see what other thought, right? Now that people are telling you their opinions you don't like it. Sorry bro, I love the optimism but with Gordon in year 1 of a max deal with 0 games played, he's worthless as far as trades are concerned. He will have to see the floor for some time to show he still has it after a year and some off along with a surgery.
Yea I posted this to get other opinions and their ideas. Not "this will never happen" "keep playing 2k" or "this is hilarious". Maybe put a little effort and explain why and what you think. But just because some people think Gordon can't be traded means it won't happen right? I love people's "opinions" so give me one. I personally think Gordon is very tradable to the right team, like the Pacers who except for the suns are best fit. They have new GM. Bird was known for not paying not Mr. Nelson. Like I said before if Gordon comes near what he once was with no structural damage in knee clears their team doctors and Pacers have a chance to get him then I think they will. Pleases both fan bases. Maybe we have to give something else, but very possible.

I could see us making such a trade for Marcus Thornton
A healthy Gordon alongside Hill and Granger is a serious contender for the Pacers. You switch George and Gordon against the Heat in play-offs last year you might see a ringless king. I understand it all relays on a "healthy" Gordon, but when he is no denying his talent and skill as being elite and huge asset to a team. He was 1 roster spot away from team USA. If he played in half the games last year he most likely gets the spot over Harden or Iguodala. He is not un tradable especially to Pacers. Throw in Lopez idc it can get done.

Exercise is a set of regimented and purposeful actions repeated a set number of times. Its purpose is to increase physical fitness and improve health. The two most common types of exercise are muscle strengthening activities and aerobics (also known as "cardio").
Muscle strengthening activities include lifting weights, yoga, push ups, and sit ups. To gain the maximum benefit of muscle strengthening exercises, it's best to two to three sets of a particular exercise in a given exercising period. Aerobic activities include exercises that raise your heart rate such as jogging or running, riding a bike and playing various sports like tennis or basketball. As long as the activities are done with a high degree of intensity, benefits will be seen.
The benefits of exercise include lowering blood pressure, helping to prevent obesity and heart disease. Mental health benefits, such as lessening depression or easing insomnia, are also associated with exercise.
It is important to start an exercise regimen that does not cause your body too much stress. In other words: do not do too much too soon. Consult with your physician to determine an exercise routine that will work best for you.

Important News - 4th November 2014

When stress takes a toll on your heart
Unlike cavemen, barbarians and knights, we don't face extreme danger very often. Unfortunately, every-day stress also triggers your alarm system.
Work. Commute. Kids. Relatives. Friends. Death of a loved one. Money. Everything in life can cause stress.
Stress takes a toll on your body — including your heart. Because stress can linger, your body continues to produce extra adrenalin and cortisol.
When your body's alarm system doesn't turn off, you may eat more, exercise less, lose sleep, argue more, forget things, get depressed, or smoke or drink more than usual. These things put an added burden on your heart and increase your risk of heart disease. Recent studies have shown that laughter and positive thinking promote heart health, while anger and job stress can increase the risk of heart attacks.
Here are some tips to protect your heart from stress:
Exercising in the heat
Even though regular exercise is important for cardiovascular health, exercising in hot weather can lead to heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. These conditions result from the production of excess body heat, overwhelming the body's capacity for heat release and raising the core body temperature.
What you should know:
The signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion include:
- heavy sweating
- fatigue
- headache
- pale and clammy skin
- thirst
- increased heart rate
- dizziness or fainting
- nausea and vomiting
- muscle and abdominal cramps
- elevated temperature.
What is heat stroke?
Heat stroke occurs when the core body temperature exceeds 104 degrees F, accompanied by seizure or coma. The primary cause of heat exhaustion and stroke is dehydration with inadequate fluid and electrolyte repletion. Those with the following risk factors are particularly prone to heat exhaustion and stroke: extreme young or old, pregnancy, chronic illness (in particular cardiac or respiratory diseases), alcohol consumption, extreme physical exertion, and certain medications.
So how do I exercise in the heat?

Steve Ramirez and Xu Liu:
A mouse. A laser beam. A manipulated memory.
Can we edit the content of our memories? It's a sci-fi-tinged question that Steve Ramirez and Xu Liu are asking in their lab at MIT. Essentially, the pair shoot a laser beam into the brain of a living mouse to activate and manipulate its memory. In this unexpectedly amusing talk they share not only how, but — more importantly — why they do this. (Filmed at TEDxBoston.)

Hello Everyone!
For me as a professional 2013 was a good year. For me personally 2013 was riddled with injuries and set backs. This year I made the decision to drop in muscle size from 235lbs (which I have been carrying and maintaining for 10 plus years) to 200lbs since I am now 42 years old. My thoughts were that my body would be much healthier going forth by dropping the mass. I was not expecting the little injuries that would come up along the way. Everything from a pinched nerve in my neck to knee pain and all from the rapid loss of muscle around those joints. Even though I was still active the joints were not used to having less muscle around them supporting them. This was something I was not expecting at all. The funny part was the injuries came out of nowhere! They didn't happen during exercise or an athletic event but instead I woke up and was in pain.
So this has made me start a complete rebuild of the musculature system that I had built up for over 20 years. Starting with rehabbing of the injured areas, endurance strength and basic cardiovascular training. This year I will be applying NASM's OPT model from beginning to end.
Starting over as it feels is never fun for anyone, but it is also something that every aging athlete most learn to do as we age. Our bodies as I have come to learn from first hand experience do not like to carry the extra mass whether it be fat or muscle. The funny part is that I can remember older guys in the gym constantly telling me don't get too big you will pay for it later. Of course being young and cocky I blew it off and said no that will not happen to me. Well wake call for me and I can now see those guys saying it to me like it was just yesterday.
I know 2014 will bring an amazing change to me physically and mentally and I can honestly say that I am looking forward to making the changes to my body and my health. So I will be posting up my recovery and rebuilding as the year goes on. I welcome you to stay tuned in and experience my journey with me.
Too many people focus on weight when they should be focusing on total wellness. I will not tell you that someone who has a body fat percentage 10% or more higher then it should be is ok. I will tell you that the scale is a problem. Those who focus on the scale grow dependent on having to see the number to go down to feel successful. Reality is when you do this all you are doing is developing very bad mental habits that can and will lead to obsession and disorders. Yes, believe it or not over exercising is a sickness.
As we have grown up everyone from the Doctors to the TV and magazines have been telling us that we should weigh a certain amount based on height and age. Well once again science has proven that those numbers are not very accurate if you exercise. When you build lean muscle tissue you are adding weight to your body, but your are also adding skeletal strength, joint and tendon strength, as well as, increasing your metabolism.
My point is stop using the scale and focus on how your clothes feel and have your body fat tested if its a concern. Body fat testing is easy and typically will cost you nothing.
If you have any questions please fee free to contact me @ firstname.lastname@example.com.
Like anything supplements are both good and bad. If you choose to buy supermarket or large discount supply supplements expect to get poor quality. Typically higher priced supplements are better quality but that does not mean you should not read the label. For example: There is a very well known brand of protein powder on the market that talks about how high a quality and all natural it is, until you read the label and find sugar alcohols in it. For this exact reason you have to do some research on whats right for you. Don't take the advice of a young bodybuilder working on commission because 9 out of 10 times they are using the product of the month.
Educate yourself!
#Nutrition #Tip
Never exercise first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Doing this will only cause your body to cannibalize itself for nourishment. Yes you will lose weight but it will be lean muscle weight not body fat. You need the lean muscle to burn the fat so don't use it as fuel!
When you are looking to go to a group class before you sign up for a package take a free class. If the company does not offer a free class then its not a company that you want to work with.
Accountability is one of the biggest reasons why someone should hire a trainer. Now with that being said a trainer should not be your cheerleader when you are not giving as much as the trainer.
- A trainer will give you praise when you are doing a good job.
- A trainer will hold you accountable for doing your workouts.
- A trainer will monitor your nutrition and make corrections as needed.
- A trainer will provide you with the tools you need to be successful.
A trainer can not make you do anything! You will fail or succeed on your own. So it amazes me when clients want to blame the trainer because they did not get the results that they wanted.
As a client the first thing you need to look at is yourself and ask:
- Did I follow and track my meal plan
- Did I do every workout or just go through the motions
- Did I drink enough water each day
- Did I get enough sleep
- Did I hold myself accountable to my goals
If you can honestly answer YES to each one, then you have had success. A pound or an inch lost is success. Most forget that because of the biggest loser. Your health and fitness is a life long journey not a 12 week trip.
So far this week I have seen more free advertisements then ever before about how to lose weight. To me this is crazy because each one will only give you a taste then require you to pay an amazing amount to get the rest. Stop wasting time and energy on the free information. You need to hire a "Qualified" professional to design a personalized program for you.
Yes, I will tell you that any and every online program can get you some results, but it is not personalized to your body and your needs. This is why you need to hire a "Qualified" professional.
If you add up all the money you have spent over the years on fitness products and fitness gimmicks you could have already hired a "Qualified" professional.
So once again stop wasting time and money and hire someone today!
On the weekend most people want to just kick back and relax. Instead most are running around doing errands, cleaning the house, food shopping, etc. Your body and mind need downtime other then watching TV or sleeping. So turn off the TV, Computer, Radio and any other electronic device. The more you unplug the more time you will find to let your body and mind reconnect. This connection is very important for downtime. A nice quiet walk is a great way to relax, mediatation works or even just go out and look at the stars like we did as kids.
If you do any of these things and do not set a time on how long you are going to do them you will notice a big difference in your stress levels.
When it comes to proper nutrition I see many people cheating and thinking it is ok. If you eat a good healthy nutrition plan and exercise you can reach every goal. So why self sabotage with alcohol or extra sugar?
I will be the first to tell you that cheat meals are ok, but not every night or multiple in the same night. Binging happens more times then not and people just are not recognizing that they are even doing it. This is why tracking your nutrition is very important.
I have seen many of my clients realize after they start tracking their food that they are actually consuming well over their daily required caloric intake. This is often why people fail on nutrition plans. If you are not monitoring your intake then one drink can turn into two or three before you even realize it.
If you want to be successful when on a nutrition plan you need to eat and track everything that you consume.
If you are constantly telling everyone that you are exercising or killing it in your workouts, then do it! Stop lying to everyone and yourself if you are not. Your body will tell everyone the truth!
Everyday I see people posting about how healthy they are and how healthy they eat. Then they post up pictures of themselves and friends drinking alcohol and eating crap. Plus showing themselves sitting in a chair playing video games. So whats the reality? Your body has not changed in 2 years, but yet you say you are killing it everyday!
Stop Fooling Yourself!!

Springbok prop Coenie Oosthuizen has been cleared to play after an examination by a neurosurgeon in Durban on Tuesday.
Oosthuizen injured his neck during his Test debut for South Africa against England in Durban in June. He spent almost three months doing rehabilitation and returned to action for the Cheetahs in a Currie Cup match last weekend.
Following the match, Oosthuizen experienced some muscle stiffness and it was decided to send him for a further consultation with a neurosurgeon in Durban, who was in agreement with the previous assessments of his injury.
'We wanted to ensure that we don't put Coenie at undue risk by playing him,' said Springbok team doctor Craig Roberts. 'The neurosurgeon is happy with his progress and the scans and has declared him fit to play.'
The Springbok match 22 to play the All Blacks in Soweto will be announced on Wednesday afternoon.

How one play changed a Snohomish boy's life
The 'Ike Special' became famous and showed the generosity of other teens

Snohomish�s Ike Ditzenberger celebrates after running 51 yards for a touchdown against Lake Stevens on Sept. 24.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Ike Ditzenberger, 17, a junior at Snohomish High School, wrestles with assistant coach Dan Mundell during practice, on Dec. 16.
Snohomish's head wrestling coach, Rob Zabel, spotted a visitor by the door. Zabel grinned and asked the visitor, "Do you want to talk to Hollywood?"
Better known as Ike Ditzenberger, "Hollywood" was busy honing takedown moves with a teammate. Ditzenberger's flashy nickname is a reference to the explosion of attention — including YouTube fame, a possible movie deal and numerous TV appearances — the 17-year-old junior has attracted in the past three months.
It all started with a potentially anonymous play at the end of a lopsided high school football game that turned into one of the most talked about sports moments of 2010.
A brief recap: With his team trailing Lake Stevens 35-0 on Sept. 24, Snohomish football coach Mark Perry called timeout and put No. 57, Ditzenberger, in the game for the final snap at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Before the play, Perry spoke to Lake Stevens defensive coordinator Joe Cronin and the 11 Vikings defenders who were on the field. Perry, whose team was on offense, explained he planned to give the ball to Ike, who has Down syndrome. Would Lake Stevens be willing to let Ike run 5 or 10 yards, Perry asked?
"Cronin said it was up to us and we all said, 'Yeah, let's go for it, because he'll remember it the rest of his life,'" said Lake Stevens junior Colter Swords, who was on the field for the now-famous play.
The players lined up. Snohomish quarterback Taran Lee took the snap, turned and handed the ball to the 5-foot-6, 160-pound Ditzenberger. Instead of tackling Ike, the Lake Stevens players chased him and intentionally dove well short of his legs. Taking an unconventional route that initially veered to his team's sideline, Ditzenberger ran 51 yards for a touchdown.
Within a few days, a video of the play — called the Ike Special — became a YouTube hit. It captivated viewers around the world. As of Tuesday, the original version of the video had been viewed nearly 2.7 million times.
"When it happened, I didn't think it would blow up like this," said Lake Stevens videographer Tony Soper, who meshed KRKO 1380-AM's radio call of the play into his Ike Special video. "I can't believe it's this big, and it still keeps going."
'It's given him a boost'
Since he scored the varsity touchdown, Ike has experienced things most teenagers only dream of.
He and his Snohomish teammates were honored guests during the Oct. 24 Seattle Seahawks game at Qwest Field. Headline News aired a national story about Ike on Thanksgiving. Aegis, an L.A. production company, is interested in developing a movie.
Has the attention affected Ditzenberger?
"It hasn't changed Ike at all. His head hasn't gotten any bigger," said Steve Ditzenberger, Ike's father. "He's still the same Isaac, the same kid."
But Ike Ditzenberger has changed in at least one way.
The widespread interest has "given him a boost. As he's aging month to month, like any kid, I think it gives him some confidence," Steve Ditzenberger said. "I think it did kind of spur him on a little bit and brighten his light."
Ike's mother sees it, too. Kay Ditzenberger said her youngest son is noticeably more confident, and not just in athletics. In fact, sports are a small part of Ike's busy life these days. In addition to being a member of Snohomish's wrestling team and competing in exhibition bouts, Ike sings in a student choir and has been taking piano lessons for five weeks. Next month he has a job interview at a local Starbucks.
Initially, Ike wasn't enthused about playing the piano — "This is dumb, Mom," he repeatedly groaned when he started lessons — but his attitude improved after he learned to play "Jingle Bells."
"I did it, Mom! I did it!" Ike shouted the first time he played the tune correctly.
Kay Ditzenberger said Ike is an example of the potential special-needs children, especially those with Down syndrome, possess.
"There's so much they can do," she said, "when they believe and get a chance."
When school resumes in January, Ike begins his biggest educational challenge yet. Thanks to a proposal approved by school administrators this month, Ike will stop going to classes with other special-needs students and begin attending mainstream classes.
He will have his own curriculum and a district employee will sit with him. The new setting gives Ike a chance to observe and imitate non-special-needs kids. The hope, Kay Ditzenberger said, is Ike will thrive in the mainstream environment and be better prepared for life after high school.
Ike's mom is grateful her son lives in a supportive community.
"Thank God for Snohomish High School," Kay Ditzenberger said. "They've given him a chance at everything."
'Something they're always going to remember'
The phone calls and e-mails are less frequent now, but Perry and Lake Stevens head football coach Tom Tri still marvel at the outpouring of interest Ike's touchdown sparked.
Hundreds of inspired video viewers contacted the coaches via phone and e-mail after the Ike Special clip went worldwide.
"To me, Ike's still just another player," said Perry, who teaches at Snohomish High School and serves as the school's athletic director, "but I do know that (Ike's run) has touched literally thousands of people in a positive sense for the good."
The Snohomish coach received Ike-related calls from people in Texas, Taiwan and Jamaica, and e-mails from Las Vegas and Italy. Those touched by Ike's run came from different walks of life: athletes, coaches, officials, everyday folks who don't normally follow sports, parents of special-needs kids.
Of the people who reached out to Perry, most were moved by the Lake Stevens defenders' decision to let Ike score, thereby ruining their shutout.
"The play encouraged them that the youth of today aren't all that bad," Perry said.
The Ike Special TD was "a lesson about how to live your life in terms of being competitive but still caring for your neighbor or your opponent, or whoever it might be, on a daily basis," said Tri, Lake Stevens' coach. "A lot of the kids who were involved said it was one of the coolest things they've ever been a part of, so it's something they're always going to remember."
The play even brought notoriously intense rivals together off the football field. On Dec. 7, about two dozen Lake Stevens players met about 20 Snohomish players — including Ike — for a pizza dinner at Alfy's in Snohomish.
Perry paid for the meal with $200 that an Ohio man, Robert Smith, sent to Perry. It was Smith's way of honoring the players for their roles in Ike's touchdown run, Perry said.
"If you had asked me a year ago if we would sit down with the Snohomish football team and have pizza for dinner, I would have said, 'You're crazy. That's not going to happen,'" Tri said. "But that was a pretty cool thing to share with Ike and other Snohomish players."
'Give others like me a chance'
Hanging out at home last week after wrestling practice, Ike ate spoonfuls of yogurt and relaxed in his family's kitchen.
Asked what he likes about football, Ike said, "My coach, Mark Perry."
Then Ike cracked a big smile, which he often does, and revealed another reason he loves the sport: "Cheerleaders!"
After Ike, who turns 18 in March, finishes high school, he wants to coach — maybe football, maybe wrestling, or even basketball or bowling, he said. He imagines driving a purple car, with a girlfriend and his massive shaggy-haired dog, Bear, along for the ride.
Pondering his future, or possibly just thinking about cheerleaders, Ike continued eating his snack. Behind him, on the other end of the room, was a large vertical display board. Rectangular paper strips with words on them were secured on the board. Ike has been practicing for a speech he plans to give Jan. 26 at the Seattle Sports Commission's 76th Annual Sports Star of the Year event at Benaroya Hall in Seattle. He was nominated for Athlete of the Year by Seattle Children's Hospital.
Near the end of Ike's speech, he plans to say the following:
"Please give others like me a chance. Give them a place in your classroom, on your team and in your community. Help their dreams come true like my coach, team and school helped my dreams come true."

This may make me something of a loner in this crowd, but I actually intend to vote for Romney this year. His religious conservatism (to the extent that it is even genuine, which I doubt) and that of his running mate doesn't really scare me, because the religious principles to which they pay lip service have essentially zero chance of becoming law. Abortions will never be outlawed, and while I disagree with the Republican stance on abortion, I don't see it as a threat.
Fiscally, Romney/Ryan fall much closer to my own views than Obama. As much as I disagree with religious conservatives, I refuse to be a single-issue voter.
Anyone else with me, or am I the black sheep?

Groovy tries to be as natural as possible for Java developers. We've tried to follow the principle of least surprise when designing Groovy, particularly for developers learning Groovy who've come from a Java background.
Here we list all the major differences between Java and Groovy.
Default imports
All these packages and classes are imported by default, i.e. you do not have to use an explicit
import statement to use them:
- java.io.*
- java.lang.*
- java.math.BigDecimal
- java.math.BigInteger
- java.net.*
- java.util.*
- groovy.lang.*
- groovy.util.*
Common gotchas
Here we list the common things you might trip over if you're a Java developer starting to use Groovy.
- == means equals on all types. In Java there's a wierd part of the syntax where == means equality for primitive types and == means identity for objects. Since we're using autoboxing this would be very confusing for Java developers (since x == 5 would be mostly false if x was 5 . So for simplicity == means equals() in Groovy. If you really need the identity, you can use the method "is" like foo.is(bar). This does not work on null, but you can still use == here: foo==null.
- in is a keyword. So don't use it as a variable name.
- When declaring array you can't write
you need to write
Code Block
int[] a = {1,2,3};
Code Block
int[] a = [1,2,3]
- If you were used to write a for loop which looked like
in groovy you can use that too, but you can use only one count variable. Alternatives to this are
Code Block
for (int i=0; i < len; i++) {...}
Code Block
for (i in 0..len-1) {...}
Code Block
for (i in 0..<len) {...}
Code Block
len.times {...}
Things to be aware of
- Semicolons are optional. Use them if you like (though you must use them to put several statements on one line).
- The
returnkeyword is optional.
- You can use the
thiskeyword inside static methods (which refers to this class).
- Methods and classes are public by default.
Protectedin Groovy has the same meaning as protected in Java, i.e. you can have friends in the same package and derived classes can also see protected members.
- Inner classes are not supported at the moment. In most cases you can use closures instead.
- The
throwsclause in a method signature is not checked by the Groovy compiler, because there is no difference between checked and unchecked exceptions.
- You will not get compile errors like you would in Java for using undefined members or passing arguments of the wrong type. See Runtime vs Compile time, Static vs Dynamic.
Uncommon Gotchas
Java programmers are used to semicolons terminating statements and not having closures. Also there are instance initializers in class definitions. So you might see something like:
|Code Block
class Trial { private final Thing thing = new Thing ( ) ; { thing.doSomething ( ) ; } }
Many Groovy programmers eschew the use of semicolons as distracting and redundant (though others use them all the time - it's a matter of coding style). A situation that leads to difficulties is writing the above in Groovy as:
|Code Block
class Trial { private final thing = new Thing ( ) { thing.doSomething ( ) } }
This will throw a
The issue here is that in this situation the newline is not a statement terminator so the following block is treated as a closure, passed as an argument to the
Thing constructor. Bizarre to many, but true. If you want to use instance initializers in this sort of way, it is effectively mandatory to have a semicolon:
|Code Block
class Trial { private final thing = new Thing ( ) ; { thing.doSomething ( ) } }
This way the block following the initialized definition is clearly an instance initializer.
Another document lists some pitfalls you should be aware of and give some advice on best practices to avoid those pitfalls.
New features added to Groovy not available in Java
- closures
- native syntax for lists and maps
- GroovyMarkup and GPath support
- native support for regular expressions
- polymorphic iteration and powerful switch statement
- dynamic and static typing is supported - so you can omit the type declarations on methods, fields and variables
- you can embed expressions inside strings
- lots of new helper methods added to the JDK
- simpler syntax for writing beans for both properties and adding event listeners
- safe navigation using the ?. operator, e.g. "variable?.field" and "variable?.method()" - no more nested ifs to check for null clogging up your code

The payment plan must also be agreeable to both the customer and CenterPoint Energy. If an agreed-upon payment plan cannot be reached, customers have a right to appeal under the CWR.
Under the CWR, special payment terms are available to customers who:
• Apply for and receive Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funding assistance in Minnesota, or
• Meet set income guidelines by the state of Minnesota but do not receive energy assistance, and
