UPDATE: Police believe same man robbed two Henderson banks within an hour
HENDERSON, Ky. - UPDATE:
Back-to-back bank robberies on Wednesday put authorities, schools and other banking institutions on high alert while law enforcement searched for a suspect in the latest in a string of hold-ups to occur here since June.
No arrests have been made in either of Wednesday's robberies, and no one was injured.
However, Henderson police said it appears that the same person is involved in both of the Wednesday robberies, which occurred at Independence Bank and The Bank of Henderson, and a heist that occurred on July 11 at the Green River Area Federal Credit Union on Second Street.
The first of Wednesday's robberies occurred shortly after 9 a.m. at the Independence Bank on Zion Road in front of the Gardenside shopping center. The second robbery occurred just before 10 a.m. at The Bank of Henderson on Stapp Drive, which is just off Barret Boulevard.
Officer Jennifer Richmond, HPD's public information officer, said a man walked into Independence Bank, displayed a handgun and demanded money.
He put an unspecified amount of cash in a black bag and fled on foot, heading in the direction of Eastland Terrace and Cambridge apartment complexes, located near the former Buy Low grocery store, Richmond said.
Law enforcement set up a perimeter in the area and utilized HPD's K-9 unit in an effort to find the suspect's trail, she said.
With authorities searching for a robbery suspect in the vicinity of Zion Road, Henderson County School officials called for a lockdown of East Heights Elementary School, Henderson County High School, North Middle School and the Board of Education office, according to Danielle Crafton, public information officer for the school district. The lockdown was lifted for those facilities at 10:30 a.m., she said. However, the second bank robbery prompted a brief lockdown at Bend Gate Elementary School on U.S. 60. This was lifted at 11:30 a.m.
Crafton said a school lockdown is when school doors are locked and staff are told not to let anyone in or out.
Almost immediately after the hold-up at Independence Bank, reports began rolling in regarding suspicious individuals in nearby areas.
One of those reports came from someone at the property owned by the Soaper family. The woman told 911 dispatchers that she had just seen a man matching the bank robber's description and had chased him off the land, authorities said. The property is located across from Henderson County High School on Zion Road.
Within minutes, law enforcement, including Henderson police and Henderson County Sheriff's deputies, started establishing a perimeter. HPD's K-9 team was brought to the area but did not detect the suspect's scent, officials said.
Adding to the confusion and excitement, just as authorities began encircling the property, a Fox 7 news van collided with a sheriff's cruiser.
The Kentucky State Police said the crash occurred around 10 a.m. when Andrew Z. Overton, 30, Evansville, was traveling north on Larue Road in a 1998 Ford van.
Overton stopped the van in the road, just as Sheriff's Deputy Rick Lawrence, 42, Henderson, also traveling north, moved into the passing lane and began to go around the van, the state police said.
Overton didn't see Lawrence's cruiser and turned into the path of the car, authorities said. The collision sent the sheriff's cruiser into an earth embankment.
No one was injured. Officials said both vehicles sustained damage.
Meanwhile, as law enforcement looked into the first robbery, searched the Soaper property for a possible suspect and investigated the collision between the news van and sheriff's cruiser, 911 dispatchers notified authorities that another robbery had occurred at The Bank of Henderson at 2003 Stapp Drive, which is just across Barret Boulevard from the city police headquarters.
Officer Richmond said at 9:59 a.m. a white male walked into the bank, showed a handgun and demanded money. He was given an unspecified amount of cash, authorities said.
"He left through the front door and ran toward U.S. 41-North," she said.
Richmond said that security footage obtained from Independence Bank, The Bank of Henderson and the Green River Area Federal Credit Union leads investigators to believe that the same person is responsible for these three robberies. HPD is working with the Federal Bureau of Investigations to find the suspect.
He is described as a white male, around 5 feet 4 inches tall and between 225 and 240 pounds. He has a medium complexion and was wearing a dark colored hat. He also concealed his face with some kind of white cloth, Richmond said. The suspect also wore sunglasses.
Wednesday's bank robberies are among a string of five that have occurred here since June.
Henderson resident, Meiesha Sharp, 700 block of Arbor Drive, was arrested June 29 after allegedly robbing Fifth Third Bank on South Green Street. No one was injured. Sharp also is accused of robberies at two local convenience stores and an attempted robbery at a Fifth Third ATM.
Less than two weeks later, on July 11, a man robbed the Green River Area Federal Credit Union. Police said Wednesday that they believe the person who robbed the credit union in July is the same one who robbed Independence Bank and The Bank of Henderson on Wednesday.
Then on Aug. 6, a white male entered the Ohio Valley Financial Group on Barret Boulevard and handed the bank clerk a bag and told her to put money in it. The man did not make threats or display a weapon, city police said. He then left the bank, walking north on U.S. 41. The suspect in that robbery is described as a white male, in his mid-30s, wearing a red cap, jeans, a long-sleeved gray shirt and sunglasses. He has brown hair and a medium build.
Anyone with information about these cases is asked to call the police department at 831-1295 or Henderson County Crime Stoppers at 831-1111. People can also place information in law enforcement tip boxes located around town.
PREVIOUS: The Bank of Henderson on Barret Boulevard was robbed around 10 a.m. while city police investigated a robbery that occurred shortly after 9 a.m. at Independence Bank on Zion Road. Schools and facilities in the area are on lockdown.
City police said the suspect in the Bank of Henderson robbery is described as a white male, around 5 feet 5 inches tall, around 250 pounds, wearing a green/teal shirt. He had a towel around his face and displayed a weapon.
The suspect in the Independence Bank robbery is described as a white male, roughly 5 feet 4 inches tall. He was wearing an orange shirt and blue jeans. He was last seen running behind the old Buy Low grocery store.
City police raced to the area of Independence Bank on Zion Road Wednesday morning after receiving a call about a holdup at that location.
The incident occurred around 9 a.m.
Police are currently searching the vicinity.
Further details were immediately unavailable.

Fantastic Choice 1857 Dollar1857 $1 MS64 PCGS. Though silver minor coinage was gaining traction in circulation, thanks to the reweighting of the lower denominations, the silver dollar was excluded from this process. As a result, the silver dollar was used primarily for export; in his Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia, Q. David Bowers (1993) wrote that the 1857 issue was "primarily used in the China trade. Very few if any 1857 silver dollars were used in domestic commerce."
It stands to reason that few examples survive today, and an examination of the combined certified population bears this out. The offering of a near-Gem representative such as the present piece is an event. Soft, swirling luster enlivens the beautifully toned blue-green, violet, and rose-gold patina. A touch of softness is present at the margins, but the overall detail is pleasing. Light, scattered flaws on and around the figure of Liberty are the only barrier to Gem status.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT scientists have found a new way that DNA can carry out its work that is about as surprising as discovering that a mold used to cast a metal tool can also serve as a tool itself, with two complementary shapes each showing distinct functional roles.
Professor Manolis Kellis and postdoctoral research fellow Alexander Stark report in the January 1 issue of the journal Genes & Development that in certain DNA sequences, both strands of a DNA segment can perform useful functions, each encoding a distinct molecule that helps control cell functions.
DNA works by complementarity: paired DNA strands serve as a template for each other during DNA replication, and ordinarily only a single DNA strand serves as a template to produce RNA strands, which then go on to produce proteins. The process is similar to the way each bump or dent in a mold is paired with a corresponding dent or bump in the resulting molded object.
While many RNAs are eventually translated into proteins with specific functions, some RNA molecules instead act directly, carrying out roles inside the cell. Certain RNA genes, known as microRNAs, have been shown to play important regulatory roles in the cell, often coordinating important events during the development of the embryo. These microRNAs fold into relatively simple hairpin structures, with two stretches of near-perfect complementary sequence folding back onto each other. One of the two 'arms' of a hairpin is then processed into a mature microRNA.
The surprising discovery is that for some microRNA genes, both DNA strands, instead of just one, encode RNA, and both resulting microRNAs fold into hairpins that are processed into mature microRNAs. In other words, both the tool and its mold appear to be functional. Kellis and Stark found two such microRNA pairs in the fruit fly, and eight more such pairs in the mouse.
The idea that there could be such dual-function strands, where both DN

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

Hidden Hôtel
28 rue de l'Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 17th Arr. (Parc Monceau/Place Clichy)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
You would think the first rule of establishing a truly hidden hotel would be: Don't put a sign over the door that says "Hidden Hotel." But some allowances must be made, we suppose, for the necessity of commerce — and even with that sign over the door, the Hidden Hotel is practically invisible compared to the ostentation with which the typical Parisian hotel announces itself.
This one, by contrast, is tucked away behind a weathered wood façade, right around the way from the Arc de Triomphe. Inside it's more of the same, with unfinished wood and stone making up the bulk of the décor, and gauzy earth-toned muslin for a softening effect. Safe to say it's not at all the style one expects from a Parisian boutique hotel, and that's most definitely a good thing.
Which is certainly not to say that all your expectations will go unsatisfied. The rooms, unfinished-looking or not, come with the must-haves, including big flat-panel wall-mounted televisions and king-sized beds. And if there's no restaurant (we mean that rhetorically; there's no restaurant) then you can chalk it up to the concept — a hotel is one thing, but there's no keeping a restaurant hidden in Paris.

FOOTHILL RANCH, Joe Ford, veterans service officer, County of Orange: Attorney Josh Flynn-Brown's column, "Depriving veterans' rights to bear arms" [Opinion, July 18], is missing some key points and would leave the reader to believe the Department of Veterans Affairs is denying a person of a fundamental right without the due process of law.
Letter-writer Bill Ring asks good questions ["Targeting veterans," July 22], and I can answer them. I have extensive experience in reviewing the letters veterans and other claimants receive from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Regulations are very specific, and unless the medical evidence is clear, convincing and leaves no doubt as to the person's competency, the VA will make no determination of incompetency without a definite expression regarding the question by a responsible medical authority. Even if there is reasonable doubt, the VA must rule in favor of competency.
Furthermore, the procedures that the columnist identified come right from the Brady Handgun and Violence Protection Act of 1993. This bill was signed by President Bill Clinton and the VA is required to follow the policy of this legislation accordingly. The VA will send a notification letter to the individual reflecting that a determination of incompetency will prevent purchase, possessing, receiving or transporting a firearm or ammunition.
The letter also reflects that if you want "relief" from this prohibiting factor, then you should write the VA and explain why. My point is this: if your doctor has provided medical evidence to the VA that you are incompetent, who should you be upset with – your doctor, the Brady Bill or the VA?
Health care crisis
IRVINE, Glenda Maddox: The results of the new health care law are being felt already. A friend of ours has been insured by Aetna for 18-plus years but will need to find a different carrier in January, 2014. Aetna sent him a letter saying the company will no longer provide service in California because it won't be able to make a profit in this state. When other companies follow suit, the only choice we will have is the socialized medicine that the government is busy putting in place – not for them but for us.
Please publish an article about health insurance companies and what plans they have developed to survive the new health care law. How many more of them plan to leave California? Will we really be able to keep our same doctors if we are forced to get coverage from a different provider?

Jan 2, 2014
Still loving my G15 this time with an old TC-DC58C I got off Ebay for about 30 quid. Nothing too exciting to photograph here today as it is very hazy, but a couple of shots with and without it to show you the surprisingly good quality. Very useful to have the extra reach with little if any light loss.
Might take it to the Plaza de Toros............
I posted full size so pixel peepers can have a look, but I think not bad especially compared to Canon´s overpriced 1.4X current offering.

This article, the second of three in a series that examine the use of rheology to measure fresh concrete workability, focuses on the rheological design of concrete production equipment and admixtures.
However, it is difficult to market these products' true impact on concrete to customers who are familiar only with the slump test as the standard workability measurement.
Several manufacturers of twin-shaft plant mixers market them by stressing their products' positive impact on concrete workability using terms such as fluidization and homogeneity, necessary since no rheological parameters for workability are yet part of accepted industry standards.
Leading admixture manufacturers have incorporated rheology into their product development also. Perhaps the best example of rheologically designed admixtures is the development of products that produce self-consolidating or self-compacting concrete. These new-generation admixtures produce a super-fluidifying effect that gives fresh concrete excellent flowability, enables compaction by gravity, and eliminates the need for vibration.
The industry is clearly moving toward designing, developing, and, now, even producing applications in which rheology is playing a critical role. As the emphasis on higher technology only increases, the best the industry can hope for is that the standards organizations can keep pace.

People keep saying that it must have been such a hard decision, the decision to leave the marathon.
It actually was not much of a choice. I first considered quitting around mile 11 but not seriously. I thought about quitting the way I always think about quitting during races. But then, I never actually do quit.
By 15, I was getting more sure I'd have to leave the race. I thought about the logistics and realized the best way would be to get to the 18th mile in Manhattan where my boyfriend was, and leave with him. Yes, I thought, that is what I'll do.
But first, the beginning . . .
Last week, I would see the ING NYC Marathon ads on the subway and want to tell everyone around me, "I'm running that!" This week, when I see those signs I quickly look away and try not to cry.
Last week, all I wanted to read about online was the NYC Marathon. This week, I've been avoiding Twitter and blogs so I won't have to hear about it.
Last week, I loved chatting about the race to all my coworkers about my upcoming race. This week, I'm hoping everyone forgot and won't ask me about it.
Clearly, a lot has changed since last week.
The morning started like any other anxiety-filled morning. I woke up multiple times throughout the night and was up for good long before my alarm. I got dressed in my outfit and Tweeted this photo out so people would know to look for me:
And then I put on my hoodie, another hoodie, sweatpants and a robe. I also had two pairs of gloves, a scarf and earmuffs that I ended up not needing. With the exception of the bottom layer hoodie, the marathon will donate those items to charity. It was a warm, gorgeous day in November, which helped my stress so much because I am terrified of the cold. I am always much colder than everyone else and it really just hurts. I also never feel hot, and I don't mind running in 85 degree temps. Some might even say I am oddly prone to hypothermia.
I arrived at the Staten Island Ferry about 45 minutes before my planned departure time (this is what crazy people do) and was waiting around when I saw Ashley . We chatted until our friends arrived, and we wound up with a little unplanned group for the trip:
After a ferry ride and a long, hot, standing bus ride, we arrived at the start villages! We ran into Melissa and from then on she was in our little group. They were not what I expected and were comprised largely of pavement and people walking around.
I'm proud to say that this nervous peeer used the porta potties on Staten Island five times in the hour we had between arriving on the island and the start of the race. I have to say, this entire wait was pleasant. I wasn't cold and the wait wasn't long. Everyone always talks about the five freezing hours you spend waiting for the marathon to begin, but as long as you choose the right transportation time you shouldn't have too long a wait. As for the freezing, well, we got lucky this year.
Before I knew it we were headed to the corrals, where Z and I stuck together as we broke from the group. We were lined up much closer to the Start than I expected. It was the most exhilarating feeling and the energy was incredible.
There's the Verrazano Bridge! I felt great, happy, emotional and ready to run.
The cannon went off and New York, New York blasted through the speakers as we kicked off the race. Obviously I cried. I was finally running my marathon, after two years of planning, one year of qualifying and four months of .
Everyone was right. You will run faster than you planned over the Verrazano Bridge because of the excitement and adrenaline. You don't feel like you are running up a long, steep uphill even though you are. Brooklyn is like one big block party. People cheer for you by name (or chant! There is nothing like having a complete stranger CHANTING your name!), bands and speakers and playing music and it's just fun. There's no other way to put it. Brooklyn is a fun time.
The fist 7 miles went by so quickly I could not believe it each time we passed a mile marker 'already.' These miles did not even feel like effort; I was cruising. It was going so well that even with a porta potty stop I was well on track to run a strong race and finish under my goal time. As Z and I ran together with our matching neon pink compression arm sleeves, people would cheer for us a as team: "GO DORI AND MELISSA!" I loved that we were a team even to these strangers. We qualified for this marathon together, trained together and planned to cross the finish line holding hands.
When Brown Eyed Girl blared through the speakers, Z and I started singing, shouting along with the line "laughing and running, skipping and jumping" — much to the entertainment of the crowds. This marathon, it just sucks you in to a world where everyone is awesome, chanting your name and offering support. There is music everywhere. It is a total sensory overload with all the new sights and sounds and signs and people. It's easy to forget about the world outside the marathon. The excitement enveloped me.
There are a few mistakes I made during these first seven miles. I think singing and shouting was one of them. Another was the high fives. I didn't plan on giving them (I wanted my energy for myself) but when Z kept saying "Dor, give that kid a high five" I felt like a bad person for not doing it. So sometimes I did. The big one, the one I am having a hard time letting go, was worrying Z would get away from me at a water stop when I saw her jogging (really she was just bouncing because it helped her legs not to stop) rather than walking. Not wanting to lose sight of her, I jogged too. While drinking from my cup.
Right away I knew I made a mistake and switched back to a walk; however, I felt OK for a little while after that so I don't know if that decision caused what came next. I just wish that incident didn't happen so I could stop blaming myself and instead chalk it up to 'one of those freak things' – which it probably is. I just hate this doubt, this idea that I could have finished the marathon happy and strong if I didn't make such a stupid decision Finished the marathon I worked toward, trained for, spent lots of money on and looked forward to for the better part of two years.
We started mile 8 with Brightroom photographers suspended high above us. I felt amazing as Z grabbed my hand and we raised our arms for this photo. Also during mile 8, we stopped quickly at a porta potty. I think it was later during this mile, or perhaps during mile 9 that the pain started. An air pocket in what I believe is my esophagus. Through my two years of running and my four months of training, I experienced this pain only once before. It was on a five mile training run one evening exactly a month ago. I rarely run in the evenings because I am wary of running with any food in me. When three miles into that run I felt this air bubble in my chest, I only had two miles to push through. They ended up being fast despite the pain, but they were miserable miles and I knew I could not run another second past the those. I felt better once I stopped running. Because it never happened before it since, I didn't think anything of it.
So I was surprised that of all the troubles I had during marathon training , it was this gas pain high up in my chest that made an appearance.
No amount of training or preparation could have prepared me for this one.
I didn't know how to deal with the pain the first time and I still had no idea on Sunday. I think a good burp would have taken care of it, but I don't know how to burp. I never burp and I don't know what it feels like to have to burp.
I didn't tell Z at first, not wanting her to worry. Also, talking hurt. We became silent running partners, me just mmmm-ing in response if she said anything. Finally, I admitted I was in pain. A lot of pain.
Since burping was not an option, I tried swallowing the bubble down. Yes, it could have just created pain in a whole new spot, but it also could have had a possible way out — a strategy that worked with belly pains I had during my first 20 mile run . But I was unsuccessful in my attempts. The pain and pressure in my chest were indescribable. It destroyed me. I couldn't talk and even worse, I couldn't eat. My sips at the water stations became smaller and eventually I could not stomach Gatorade anymore.
I kept having these mini dry heaves. As I ran. It felt like the bubble wanted to come up but couldn't. A couple of times I felt like I could throw up, but I was never able to. I wasn't even nauseous, but clearly something was trying to get out.
I stopped caring about the crowds; I stopped noticing them. Though I did notice the one guy dressed as a penis next to a sign that read; "That is a penis." But I mean, of course I'd notice a penis. However, all the cheering did not help and I did not listen out for my name. It is possible people cheered for me. I did not hear them. All my energy was focused on the pain and the run.
Mile 11 hurt. By mile 13, I just felt worse even though I pretended to be in good spirits: "Halfway there!" We ran up the Pulaski Bridge. It was a a struggle. My pace had slowed and I looked forward to every water station because it meant I could walk. I was relieved that runner congestion meant we had to go slower. I let go of my time goal. Finishing under 5:00 was no longer an option. Now, my goal was just to finish.
I know it was hard for Z to see me in so much pain and not be able to do anything. She kept asking what she should do and I told her not to let me slow her down, to go and run her best race. She stuck with me on our short jaunt through Queens — none of which I remember well — and onto the Queensboro Bridge. At one point she forced me to eat a Shot Blok, only my second of the day, which was not an easy thing for me to do. It was the smart thing, since I needed to fuel if I had any hope of running another 12 miles.
I thought about putting on my music for the bridge. The reason I brought my iPod — hell, the entire reason I even bought my Nano — was so my music could push me through the quieter, more difficult parts of this race. Like this bridge. But I did not have the energy to even bother. Not even for my favorite uphill running song , Blackjack.
On the bridge Z started weaving through people. She clearly felt strong on this long, difficult uphill. I kept sight of her for as long as I could, but I was not feeling nearly as strong and I lost her. There, I started to walk for the first time. There, not finishing the race became a real possibility. And a few steps later, it became a likelihood.
People keep saying that it must have been such a hard decision, the decision to leave the marathon.
It actually was not much of a choice. I first considered quitting around mile 11 but not seriously. I thought about quitting the way I always think about quitting during races.
By 15, I was getting more sure I'd have to leave the race. I thought about the logistics and realized the best way would be to get to 95th Street where Andy was, and leave with him.
While running down the bridge into Manhattan, I thought I could push through the last 10 miles. I don't know what led me to think that, but the feeling was short lived. Once I approached the turn off the bridge, I was done.
I did not notice any "wall of sound" that they say is such a force when you come off the bridge. The wall of sound that picks you up and provides you with a much needed burst of energy along First Avenue. I didn't hear a thing.
When I passed my apartment, a spot I was SO excited to run by, I did not feel any excitement. Instead, I felt regret at not having my keys with me. I just wanted to lie down.
I was 34 blocks from Andy and I had no idea how I would make it all the way to 95th street. I had no choice but to walk at times. In addition to the GI pain was chafing under my right armpit. I wore the same shirt on almost every training run and that never happened — why now? It might have been bearable if everything else wasn't falling apart. I needed to stop.
The spectators on First Avenue — who were awesome — would cheer like crazy for me when they saw me walk. I did not want them to cheer for me. I did not want them to know my name. All I wanted before this race was to hear people cheer for me by name, and now hearing my name was the last thing I wanted. I wished I could hide but I stuck to the left side of the street, right alongside the spectators, so I wasn't in the thick of the runners. And so I could easily walk off the side when I saw my friends.
At one point, I considered walking the rest of the marathon. But even if I could have run or run/walked through the pain, I wasn't able to eat and I could barely drink more than a sip of water at a time. The thought of Gatorade made me sick. I was already under fueled as it was with just two Clif Shot Bloks and Gatorade from the water stops being all I consumed during these 18 miles. Because I had a hard time getting water down, I could have become severely dehydrated. Even if I could have pushed through the pain, it would have been extremely dangerous to continue. And I really did not want to hear any more cheering.
Those last two miles were the longest, most difficult miles of my life. I could have stopped sooner but I would have still had to deal with getting to my friends. And since straight lines are the fastest way from one point to the next, I had no choice. It took everything I had to make it to my friends at mile 18.
So to answer the question, it was a hard decision but it also was not a decision. The choice was made for me.
My goals changed a few times during this marathon. When I started the race, my goal was to finish in less than 5 hours. When the esophageal pain became so bad I had to slow down, my goal became to finish. When I entered Manhattan, my goal was to make it to 95th street.
The streets went by slowly, and at 70th I could not believe I still had 25 blocks left. At 85th I did not know how I would handle this last 10. 95th street became my finish line. Much like runners' last push of the marathon is those last 400 meters, my last push was to make it to that 18th mile.
Even though I walked multiple times along First Avenue, I made sure I was running as I approached 95th Street. It was really important to me, for some reason, that I was running as I approached my friends. I knew I'd be stopping as soon as I saw them, but I did not want them to see me walking or struggling.
I was so happy to see my sweet Andy's face, along with my friends Missy and Lim. I also saw Z's fiance. I wondered what Z told them all about me and how much they knew. The metal barriers that were along First Ave were not in place at this point. I was relieved that I would not have to do any climbing.
Finally, I reached 95th Street. I stopped and said calmly, "I think I have to quit now. I can't run anymore. I feel really sick." Then I burst into tears.
I wanted to see if Andy would encourage me to keep going, to convince me I could be a marathoner. But he could see what rough shape I was in. He knew that if I said I have to quit, things must really be bad. I looked to my friends, but felt embarrassed and guilty. They came all this way to see me and here I was, leaving the race in front of their faces. But they were amazingly supportive as well.
I stood there for a few minutes, crying but not leaving, but also not making any real effort to continue. I just wanted to lie down. That is all I had wanted since I entered Manhattan. I thought about pushing through and walking the rest of the race, but not only was I in too much pain to do even that, the thought of getting out of Central Park and having to make my way all the way to Andy's AFTER I finished was too much to bear. If I finished the race, there would have been too much time between the present moment and getting to lie down. I had to do it now.
I walked off the course.
I took off my bib right away. Despite the pain, I was actually worried that marathon workers would reprimand me for leaving the course or accuse me of trying to cheat. What I did not do was stop my watch. That's how you know things were bad — I never forget to stop my Garmin.
Which explains those last splits:
My friends were so supportive and understanding. I was clearly a wreck at the time I quit the NYC Marathon. I quit because I could run any more, and though I felt relief, it was still very difficult.
I don't remember much from that moment, but later I received this email from Lim (my former roommate):
I saw two amazing things today: I saw you make it to the 18th mile and then I saw a caring boyfriend take care of you in a time of need. I am so proud of your accomplishment Dori.
I am incredibly lucky to have friends like Lim and Missy, friends like Rachel and Emily who came over after, all my Twitter friends (people I rarely speak to came out of the woodwork to send me messages of comfort) and Facebook friends who have been more supportive than I could have imagined (has anyone ever gotten so much praise for running 18 miles?), my coworkers who took me out to lunch to cheer me up and of course, my sweet Andy.
We split away from them when we got to Andy's building and finally, finally I got to lie down.
I have never been so relieved to be in a bed.
But I was also a a mess. I just quit the NYC Marathon. Andy was hilariously live tweeting from my account all morning (and it was very funny as I suspected) and getting updates on my status from friends who were tracking me. I had to send an update of my own. I felt like such a failure. Yes, I quit the race because of this terrible pain, but what if people didn't believe me? What if they thought this was my excuse because I just couldn't cut it? What if they thought I was just saying I had pain because the marathon was too hard?
I felt accountable because I made such a big deal out of this race on Facebook and Twitter. And now I had to admit defeat.
Needless to say, I cried. A lot. But a little later, my best friends since first grade came over. I was so happy to see Rachel and Emily, who both were on their way to watch me run when I left the race. Spending the day on the couch chatting with them took my mind off the day and was also good quality time with them that I didn't get to have while I was training.
I was still in pain by the way. It didn't go away, even hours after stopping my run. Every now and then Andy would look over and see me grimace in pain. Not that I need further confirmation that I did the right thing, but yeah, there it is.
Like I said, I made such a big deal about this marathon on Facebook and Twitter. It was hard for me to read all the comments and replies to my quitting news. I really loved and appreciated the support, everyone was understanding and amazing, but I felt embarrassed and didn't want to deal with any of it. What has been comforting is hearing how many other people have had to drop out of marathons too, even though I don't wish it on anyone. I was dreading going into work the next day. The CEO of my company sent me a really nice good luck email during the race, and I would have to admit to him that I failed. I knew everyone at the office would ask me about the race or congratulate me, and I would have to repeat the story each time. For the record, that did happen, and I cried every time.
I thought I would wake up Monday feeling better, but I didn't. I avoided blogs and Twitter, so I had no idea how other people did. I'm feeling a lot better today and a lot less bitter. It is hard to be happy for everyone who finished when you feel so bitter, but now that another day passed I can say I do feel a lot better. I think the tears are over. It is just so hard to give everything you have into this one day. I spent an entire year (and lots of money) running races and qualifying for November 6, 2011. I spent four months training. I ran 20 miles twice. I gave up most of my social life. My name was on an ad in a subway station! I spent money at the Expo on NYC Marathon branded gear for myself and as gifts. I worked so hard and tirelessly for this one race. This one race I did not complete.
If I did everything right before this pain started, not finishing the marathon would sting just a little less. But I can't stop blaming myself. Thinking I caused this, I made this happen, by not walking through the water station. I worked so hard for today and then I sabotaged it. Did I really waste the four months of my life training for something I could have controlled?
I know that walking through that water station is probably not the reason my pain started. It is a fluke thing; it's not like this is a pain I'd had many times before. It was just one of those things that happens that you can't control. I am trying not to be too hard on myself. Looking back, I can't believe I ran 9 miles with that pain. Those last nine are all a blur.
A few people commented "You'll kill the NYC Marathon next year!" That is quite the presumption and all I can say is that I have absolutely no plans to do any such thing. I didn't do 9+1 program to gain automatic entry and even more than that, I don't plan on ever training for a marathon again.
Marathon training is not for me. I prefer classes like Refine Method and Core Fusion . I don't want to give up my weekends again and I miss being (somewhat) social. I don't want to donate another four months of my life to a marathon.
Of course I don't know what will happen next year and maybe I'll change my mind; at the same time I don't know what will happen next year and maybe I won't be able to run NYC for some other reason. I can't count on next year.
I can only count on right now.
To be continued . . .

This needs improvement...
Here are some suggestions:
1. Don't make Ness so big.
2. For the text box, it looks like a Paint JPEG (and probably is) so you might wanna get Photoshop to fix that...
3. Might want to make it a bit longer and much funnier.
Other than that, EarthBound rocks! And... that's all. Hope my suggestions help. ;)

high for any nintendo characters. especially classics. the animation, to be honest, wasnt that good. that hand drawn circle threw me off. but it had ness in it, so i had no choice to vote high. consider yourself lucky.
Yeah, after making this I figured that having ness in it would raise the score a bunch. Thanks for the vote

Starting huh?
Well, I like that you're using sprites. I love sprites. Ok, You should consider making Ness a bit smaller, or the houses bigger.
The plot was ok for starters. Now, you should expand more.
I'm sorry if this might get blammed. it was a funny short for me. Just keep practicing Sprites.
thanks for the pointers

Many Oklahomans opted to flee Friday night when a violent tornado developed and headed toward the state's capital city.
An answered prayer: Oklahoma City post-tornado reunion between owner and dog unfolds on television
It would be an urban legend arising out of the Oklahoma City tornadoes of May 20, if not for the fact that it happened on television.
A woman named Barbara Garcia was describing her story of survival to a CBS News reporter, when her dog emerged from a pile of rubble behind her.
"Well I thought God just answered one prayer to let me be okay," Garcia said. "But he answered both of them, because this was my second prayer."
Tornado slams Oklahoma
The Oklahoma medical examiner's office says five people have been killed in a tornado outbreak in Oklahoma City suburbs.
Donations are pouring into Oklahoma as people around the country look to help residents affected by last week's violent tornado outbreak, but charities also are receiving plenty of items they don't need - tons of used clothes, shoes and stuffed animals that take up valuable warehouse space and clog distribution networks.
President Barack Obama visited tornado-devastated Moore, Okla., Sunday, consoling people staggered by the loss of life and property and promising that the government will be behind them "every step of the way."
The pictures from Moore, Okla., are powerful, telling a story without a single word.
The people of the Oklahoma town where a deadly tornado struck could use just about everything - cleaning supplies, food, water, shelter and hugs.
While the worst of any natural disaster clearly comes during the disaster itself, the aftermath is often equally difficult to deal with.
Should residential storm shelters be mandatory in the midst of Tornado Alley?
A band of thunderstorms battered the Oklahoma City area Thursday, slowing cleanup operations in the suburb where a tornado killed 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes this week.
A massive tornado was carving its way through town. There was no time to hesitate. LaTisha Garcia had to get to her children.

For 26 years, the chain of eateries has been dishing out bar food served by saucy gals clad in form-fitting orange and white spandex. And pent up males with indigestion all across the world are duly thankful for it. From humble beginnings in Clearwater, Florida, the Hooters brand has now grown to encompass over 450 restaurants, a failed airline, a Casino in Las Vegas, and even a PlayStation videogame. For those keeping track, thats a whole lotta chesticles branded with the trademark owl logo the finest of which will be visiting Fort Lauderdale this weekend as part of the 13th annual Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant. Over 100 Hooters girls from around the globe will be painstakingly judged by local celebrities to determine who will hold the title of Miss Hooters International for the next year. Its just like being Carrie Prejean, only no one cares if you nearly let a nipple slip during a photo shoot. Hell, they encourage it.
The pageant begins this Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. For those who want to watch the fun but cant bear to leave the many comforts of the restaurant, Hooters will simulcast the event live from each of its locations.

Tulsa's Rountree to Coach Running Backs for Bowl Game
Rountree replaces Holman Wiggins who took a similar position at Memphis
Clint Rountree, a 2006 graduate of The University of Tulsa, is in his fourth season as the Director of High School Relations for the Golden Hurricane. He was appointed to his present position on January 21, 2011.
He is in his fifth year at his alma mater. In 2010, Rountree was a defensive graduate assistant coach as he assisted with coaching the Tulsa linebackers.
Following his playing career, Rountree spent the 2005 Conference USA Championship season as a student assistant with the Hurricane and was a graduate assistant coach in the 2006 campaign, as he assisted with coaching the defensive secondary both years.
Rountree has been involved in seven Bowl games, including one as a player and five as a staff member.

1/5 PT-17 and Curtiss Pusher ETA UpdateContainer will be shipped on June 11th from China, ETA Los Angeles July 7th.Due to the congestion of Port Los Angeles, ocean shipments will take much longer time. We have been told by our freight forwarder even vessel arrived, it may not be able to be unloaded. The issue of Union and port was solved, but there are still lots of vessels containers stuck there need to be digested. That is out of our control. We decide to postpone the container from China to prevent any potential problems. Our new ETA of the coming container will be late July or early August.
For customers who pre-ordered 1/5 PT-17 and Curtiss Pusher and don't want to wait, we could arrange air shipment from China at our cost. However, these items are very fragile, the risk of shipping damage is pretty high. On May 11th, our sales started to contact with each of pre-order customers by email and/or phone to explain the status. If you have any question, please feel free to contact us.

socklog cooperates with the runit package to create a small and secure replacement for syslogd. socklog supports system logging through Unix domain sockets (/dev/log), UDP sockets (0.0.0.0:514), as well as TCP socket, with the help of runit's runsvdir, runsv, and svlogd. socklog provides a different network logging concept, and also does log event notification. svlogd has built in log file rotation based on file size, so there is no need for any cron jobs to rotate the logs. socklog is small, secure, and reliable.

Curls Fell Out!
I have been searching for the longest time for a good set of hot rollers. I finally decided to try this set. The set was so easy to use. It took me 7-ish minutes to put rollers in for a full head of hair. They are super easy to use and heat up pretty warm. I put them in and waited 15-20 minutes before taking them out. The curls were PERFECT! Totally what I wanted. I was so excited! Then later I realized curls all fell out. I tried again the next day and put a TON of hairspray in my hair. The curls fell out in 20-30 minutes.I even tried using very small sections of hair on each roller hoping it would help. It didn't. I tried a third time and the same thing happened. I was sooo disappointed. This set would be awesome if the curls stayed in my hair. I have thick, a little past my shoulders length hair.

Best Rollers
I had the original set of these rollers that I used for years. I got this set with the updated features. I like the fact that you have various size rollers to choose from. These help control my naturally curly hair.

Great Curlers
I love these because they are perfect for every day AND traveling. They include ionic, ceramic AND tourmaline (only curlers I know that do all three. I am getting some for my sister!

The Waves Last 15 Minutes
Hello, sorry to say that i bought these and tried on several times now. i love the way they do NOT tangle hair and the clips stays so well without messing up the hair but i have to say this FIRST THE ROLLERS DO NOT GET HOT AT ALL , SECOND MY CURLS LAST ONLY 15/20 MINUTES. now i thought it was me , i tried holding spray as well but after reading the other reviews having same problems as mine now i think that this product does not deliver. And it costs a lot . i have brown normal hair longer below the shoulders. I bought it to make beachy waves but now i do not get any good result from them.

A Little Tricky...
I'm used to the velvet flocked rollers, so it takes a while to get used to the slippery surface on these.
I haven't had an issue with them not getting hot enough, though they should never be piping hot, just pretty warm. I get good hold from them as well. It's all about the products you use however. I set with Kevin Murphy Anti Gravity spray before putting the rollers and use a light hairspray when they've cooled and I'm about the take them out.
One thing that really disappointed me was that the set only comes with 15 roller clamps. The whole reason I bought a set of 30 is that I typically need 24 roller for my full head, so now I need to buy more clamps separately. Kinda silly considering this is a $100 set of hot rollers.

It is perfect- and you cannot expect a miracle out of this. If your hair does not hold curls- this is not going to be your cup of tea. I have wavy hair that I often straighten, from time to time, I bust this baby out to give my hair a break from extreme heat and I love it! It gives me great volume and my hair is always nice and soft afterwards! The thing is that you do have to use products such as hair spray to get it to stay! You cannot expect a curl to just stay there without any help! I love that it comes in various sizes and the cups do not leave those annoying lines in your hair! But everyone is different- what works for my hair might not work for yours! But if you can- give it a try! You might end up with amazing results just like me!

Dont Waist Your Money!
I was really excited about this product. ..Sadly it was a big waste of money and I was very disappointed!! My curls came out gorgeous but they last only 15-20min!! I tried using different products(which ment spending more money) to help them stay on longer but to my disappointment nothing worked! The setters are nice but not for my hair type. :'( I really wanted them to work.

Awesome Curls
I have medium length, fine, wavy hair and this set works really well. I plug it in and let it warm up, on the low setting, for 15 minutes or so and set my hair. I only have to leave the rollers in for 5 minutes or so and depending on what style product I use, I have amazing curls. As a matter of fact, if I use my spray styling mist, I have to take the rollers out as soon as I have finished putting them in as my hair gets too curly. I love the different sizes as it allows me to have more curl where I want it and less at the bottom. I have owned a Babyliss straightener for over 5 years and I am hoping this will last me as long.

Trial And Error
The rollers heat up pretty well and the curls lasts throughout the day with hair spray but it took me a long time to figure out how long to leave the rollers in. The first few times I used it, it looked like my hair had gotten into a fight with the heat rollers and it won. But I think, ive managed to sort of figured the best timing for my hair. P.s I have medium thin hair, and I think I prefer the regular curling iron to this.

The Maryland Court of Appeals held that the IRS had priority in collecting taxes due from the sale the assets of the promoter of an illegal pyramid scheme. The court had appointed a receiver to liquidate the assets of the promoter and distribute the proceeds to creditors. The proceeds were not enough to cover the IRS tax lien on the promoter and the investors sued under the theory that the property was theirs and not the property of the promoter. However, since the investment money was co-mingled with money from other legitimate enterprises, the proceeds from the sale could not be traced back to the original investments. It was therefore impossible to tell what money was the property of the investors, if any, and the investor's claim of priority to the proceeds was denied.

Bruins recall David Warsofsky
|02.03.14 at 9:59 am ET
The Bruins recalled defenseman David Warsofsky on Monday as the team enters the final week before the Olympic break.
The B's have three games this week, two of which will be played without Zdeno Chara due to his duties as Slovkia's flag-bearer in the opening ceremonies of the Sochi Olympics. Given that the team had been carrying just six defensemen, a call-up was going to be required.
Warsofsky already has played in four games for the B's this season, recording one goal and no assists with an even rating. In 42 games for Providence, the Marshfield native has three goals and 23 assists for 26 points with a plus-12 rating.

After a terrible 2011, developing-nations stocks roared back in
2012, with the MSCI Emerging Markets index climbing 18.6%. Many
investors hoped the good times would continue, but emerging-markets
stocks have been submerging in 2013. So far this year, the group
has tumbled 8.3%. What gives?
The index's overall return masks the performance of its parts,
says Richard Schmidt, co-manager of Harding Loevner Emerging
Markets Equity (symbol HLEMX). "One of the reasons the index has
been weak is the poor performance of its heavyweights," he says.
Stocks from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa
(collectively known as the BRICS) make up nearly half of the MSCI
Emerging Markets index. Year to date, Brazil's market has slipped
15.2%, Russia's is down 12.9% and Chinese stocks have fallen 12.1%
(all returns are through June 14). Other emerging countries have
performed better, but they make up a smaller part of the index.
Stocks in the Philippines, for example, have gained 2.1% this year;
Hungary has climbed 8.7%; the market in Malaysia is up 4.2%.
Emerging Markets Equity, a member of the Kiplinger 25, has
weathered the recent decline well: Since the beginning of the year,
the fund has slipped 4.6%. That's nearly four percentage points
ahead of the MSCI index and a bit better than the typical
diversified emerging-markets fund, which lost 5.7%. Schmidt and
co-managers G. Rusty Johnson and Craig Shaw have been finding
better opportunities in smaller emerging-markets countries, so the
dips in the BRICS didn't hurt the fund as much as they hurt the
index. At last report, the managers had 5% of assets invested in
Indonesia and 3.8% in Turkey (by contrast, the index's allocations
in those countries were 3.1% and 2.2%, respectively). Also, Schmidt
and company have been venturing into so-called "frontier" nations
-- countries with markets so small that they don't merit a spot on
the MSCI Emerging Markets index. Those have done well: The MSCI
Frontier Markets index has climbed 15.6% year to date. Harding
Loevner has about 8% of its assets invested in frontier countries,
including Qatar, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia. The fund's frontier
allocation will continue to rise, says Schmidt, until it hits about
10% of assets. Rather than assess prospects for countries, the
Harding Loevner managers focus on individual stocks. They look for
well-managed, financially strong businesses with strong competitive
positions. Two of the fund's best performers are Copa Holdings, a
Panama-based company that owns a leading Latin American airline and
cargo service (up 82.8% over the past year), and Garanti, one of
the biggest banks in Turkey (up 34.5%).

deCODED: Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
When Sinead O'Connor recorded a little-known Prince song called "Nothing Compares 2 U" it took off. The song made it to #1 on the charts in sixteen countries and was an instant classic for music fans in the 90's. Known by many as one of the best breakup songs, "Nothing Compares 2 U" is a sad tale of the depression that can follow after a tough split from the person you loved. In honor of St. Patrick's day (coming up on Saturday, March 17th!) let's Decode Irish singer Sinead O'Connor's greatest hit...
It's been seven hours and fifteen days / Since u took your love away / I go out every night and sleep all day / Since you took your love away / Since you been gone I can do whatever I want / I can see whomever I choose / I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
She starts off talking about the depressing aspects of the breakup. It's never a good feeling to sleep all day and realize it's dark again. But on the other hand, she's independent again and can take herself on dates. It's always nice to treat yourself to some "me" time.
But nothing / I said nothing can take away these blues / 'Cause nothing compares / Nothing compares to you
Even thought she might partly be enjoying her independence, no amount of alone-time can compare to having her lover back. The chorus just solidifies the song as a sad, desperate breakup ballad.
It's been so lonely without you here / Like a bird without a song / Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling / Tell me baby where did I go wrong
A part of her is missing without her love. She wants to know why he left and what she did to cause it.
All the flowers that you planted, mama / In the back yard / All died when you went away
In the famous music video for "Nothing Compares 2 U" Sinead O'Connor cries near the end of singing the song. The tears were reportedly genuine as Sinead said this line of lyrics made her think of her relationship with her abusive mother. Here's the iconic music video:

I would like to ask the same as everyone else, can you please approve my sketchbook? I know I accidentally made two, but the more recent one I would like to use (I attached actual images to it). I'd love to start sharing my stuff here at CA and get feedback from the wonderful community.

I made a post in my sketchbook yesterday. Don't know how long it usually takes to approve, don't want to sound impatient or ungrateful
Just wanted to know how long this will take before I can post again?

Hey there, i started a SB yesterday, and i don't know how long it usually takes, but i saw some people around here talking about weeks or months, so i thought to post here, just in case.
Btw, i joined many years ago, and just decided to start posting now. So yea, anyway please let me know if i did something wrong.

You've done nothing wrong at all (Except maybe not post in the existing
thread for things waiting approval. See stickies.)
I have approved your sketchbook now.
Thanks for the patience everyone, as mentioned spam and spambots
are the only thing to blame for precautions such as this.
Locking this as we have a stickied thread for these requests already.

Though it lacks some features found on the iOS and Android apps, Vine for Windows Phone will delight anyone who's been waiting for the real deal.
A fresh look and comfortable feel make HP's 11-inch budget Chromebook an appealing bet, especially for households that need a cheap no-frills Web-surfing Google Netbook. If you're not thinking about productivity, though, you're better off with a tablet.
The Iriver Story HD is a decent e-reader for fans of Google Books, but it's tough to recommend over its identically priced competitors, which offer touch screens and 3G.
