Game time: 8:30 p.m. ETTV: Sun Sports Lesser teams have caused the Miami Heat some trouble lately during their astounding winning streak. The Milwaukee Bucks are clearly inferior, but they've given the Heat all they could handle over the past two years. The Heat look to break a tie with the Bucks for the third-longest win streak in NBA history as they head to the Bradley Center seeking a 21st consecutive victory Friday night. "I mean, that's a fourth of the season that we've won in a row," LeBron James said. "We should all be blessed to be in this position, be honored to part of such a great team." His team's next contest could be a first-round playoff preview, considering Miami has built a 9 12-game lead atop the Eastern Conference while Milwaukee has an eight-game cushion for the No. 8 seed. Some might think a sweep would be a strong possibility if that series happens; after all, while the league-best Heat have not lost in their last 20 games, the Bucks are 8-12 in theirs and woul...

A Tale of Two Halves
by Rebecca Jones
Last year was an important one for me with respect to triathlon; 2014 marked my first full season on Team FeXY, second year working with Coach Shelly McKenna, and my first two half iron distance races. Besides honing my nutrition between the two races and seeing significant gains from my summer training, I learned how interacting with teammates and other athletes makes triathlon such a joy.
Ironman 70.3 Raleigh
Raleigh, NC
June 1, 2014
As usual on race morning, I woke before my alarm at 3:25am. I got vertical, caffeinated and fueled, then headed out for the race site. This was a split transition, so I set-up my T2 gear first. Spilled some of the water out of my aero-bottle, but it was easily topped off later, since I had brought extra.
On the bus, I sat next to an athlete wearing a "Rumpass in Bumpass" race shirt. Nice to see another Virginian! We talked about racing at Lake Anna and I tried not to think about what the day ahead would bring.
After the dark bus ride to the lake, I got body marked and set up T1. I borrowed a pump from another athlete, since my bike had been sleeping by the lake since the morning before. I brought the tubulars up to 105psi, took care of bike nutrition, water, and was set-up well before 6am. I had so much time to kill and was soon very thankful for the company of my teammates. The race began at 7am, but my wave started after 8am. I noshed on a balance bar then watched the first pros exit the water after only 22 min. Fast!
I checked my morning clothes bag at 6:50am, downed some Clif Shot bloks, and then got neoprened. It was such a relief to finally get in the water for a quick warm-up swim. While lining up, I saw Erin, a lady from Instagram I've followed for years. She was smiling and excited. I introduced myself and wished her a great race; great to have that positive energy immediately before the race. My wave got in position and I was surprisingly calm. I was thinking "it's a long workout" and I was really excited that the waiting was over. Go time was 8:10am.
Nutrition Pre-race:
Fuel: Breakfast shake (1.5 scoops Karbolyn, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 tri-berry nuun: ~450 kcal, 20 g protein).
Clif bloks (3, 100 kcal)
Balance bar (200 kcal)
Water: 1 full bottle
Electrolytes: 1 caffeine pill + 2 salt tabs
SWIM: 45:31, 2:00/100yds
The swim was akin to a washing machine, especially near the beginning. Lots of churning arms and legs, it felt crowded. I focused on long strokes and good form, tried to be really consistent, calm, and not waste any energy. I drafted whenever I could and got to the first turn without any incident or kicks in the face. The back length of the swim was long and the faster swimmers in the wave after mine began to pass. That was troubling, but I didn't think about it too much. I was drifting right during this section and actually passed a few of the yellow buoys on the right. I adjusted and tried sighting more often. I made the final turn and sighted the finish feeling really good so far. After the turn I had swimmers on either side, so I just used them for guidance and didn't sight as often. The numbering on the buoys was odd, I was thinking they were counting down from 8, but they weren't. Before I knew it I was sighting the dock on my left and then was climbing out onto the boat launch. Finishing the swim, I looked down to see I was around 45min, which was within my goal range of 40-50 min.
The wetsuit strippers were quick and I was feeling excited to start riding. I took 2 salt pills in transition, stuffed a pack of bloks and 2 more salt tabs in the pocket of my tri top. My aero-bottle was full of water and I had one spare bottle in the rear cage. Volunteers sprayed my back with sunscreen on the way out. (Should have gotten some on my arms and shoulders too.) T1 was under the 5 min estimate, but just barely.
BIKE: 3:17:14, 16.8mph AVG
In the first 3 miles, I stayed in the small ring and got my legs spinning. After we made the turn onto the big road, I settled in and pushed harder. I felt strong and comfortable in aero and I drank regularly; I planned to drink all the water in my aero bottle before the first aid station around mile 15. I reached the first aid station a couple miles later than I expected, but went through without incident and refilled the aero bottle without stopping.
I ate 3 Clif Shot bloks about every 5 miles and used the lap indicator on my Garmin to remind me. I must have dropped the bloks that I had put in the pocket of my tri top, because they were gone when I reached for them around mile 25. So I only had the 3 packs of bloks in total, of which I had already eaten half. I knew I would need more fuel and that my electrolytes might suffer without the extra sodium. At the last 3 aid stations, I picked up water and a banana half to supplement. Improvised nutrition, but it seemed to work. I did pick up a gel at one aid station, but it was one I hadn't tried in training, so I just saved it in case I got into trouble.
The hills were rough, especially on the second half of the bike. At one point, probably mile 30, I realized I needed to down shift a lot sooner as I was beginning to climb. My quads were really angry with me trying to power up the hills on the big ring. So, I started downshifting to the small ring first, which made the climbs instantly easier. I felt slow trying to climb in aero, so I stayed on the horns more at the end too. The descents were a lot of fun and very fast. I passed a lot of road bikes descending because I was just more aero. Sometimes, though, they would pass me back on the next uphill! I resolved to work on climbing more during the summer.
Overall, I was happy with the bike. I would have liked to have been faster, but my time was consistent with my training rides.
Nutrition on bike:
Fuel: 3 packs clif shot bloks (margarita flavor, 600 kcal), 1 banana (100 kcal)
Water: 5 bottles
Electrolytes: 2 salt tabs in T1 (430 mg + 900 mg in bloks)
Dismounting, I felt seriously wobbly, especially since we rode up a hill to get to the dismount line! I'm used to running straight into my rack at T2, but this felt totally different. I just walked as quickly as I could to my rack way down near the run out. Lady next to me had racked her bike the wrong way, so I just followed suit. Got my bike gear off and running shoes on, then looked at the water bottle. I felt plenty hydrated at that point, not thirsty, so I made a decision to leave it there and not deal with it. That was a good choice. Put my hat on and clipped my race belt while volunteers slathered me with sunscreen. Again, should have done the damn arms and shoulders. Reasonable time here.
RUN: 2:26:38, 11:20 min/mi AVG
I saw my family going into my aisle in T2 and then again on the run out; so good to have their support. I took off and ignored my legs, which were screaming. The pain lessened after a mile and in hindsight, I'm glad for all those little bricks I did this spring. I knew the run would get better.
The hills were miserable on this run. More than I thought and two loops. Thankfully the up was all at the beginning of the loops, mentally easier. It was also damn hot by this point, especially headed away from town. But I started stashing ice in my tri top, which helped and made an amusing sound. Convenient when I got thirsty between aid stations.
In my race belt I had 3 Gu gels, a pack of bloks, 4 salt tabs. I took 2 salt tabs and a Gu (tri-berry, with caffeine) at the first aid station. I split the blok pack, half around mile 3, half around mile 6.5. At mile 10 I was starting to feel that loopy feeling again, so I took the other 2 salt tabs and a final gel (jet blackberry, 2x caffeine). My stomach was a little sour at this point and I was concerned about that last gel staying down. So I walked a little extra after that aid station to let things settle. Shelly had warned me that walking would hurt more than running at this point; she was totally right.
Seeing FeXYs on the course with me was a great motivator. I loved that. Really helped me stay positive while trudging up the hills. I didn't expect this, but seeing the finish line on the turn-around was also really great.
The last few miles went by pretty quickly, actually. I'm proud to see I picked up the pace from the previous splits, but then it was more downhill and I was relishing the shade whenever I could get it. Rounding that corner onto Fayetteville knowing the finish was like half a mile away … that was a sweet moment. I remember feeling strong and that I had really done it. I ran thru that finish. The race didn't beat me. Final half marathon time was 2:26:38, only 11 min off my PR. I was hoping to be under 2:30 and I was.
Nutrition on run:
Fuel: 6 bloks (200 kcal), 2 gels (200 kcal)
Water: Cup of water at every aid station, usually drank at least half
Electrolytes: 4 salt tabs
Seeing teammates at this race was incredible. I saw FeXYs on every leg of this race and felt their support… truly amazing. A favorite moment was when Zoya passed me back on the second loop of the run. Going up a hill, she said "Slow and steady, professor. Slow and steady". I kept that advice close.
There were a number of moments that day that I could point to as motivators. My teammates, the beautiful weather, the cheering crowds, my family. What I can't identify is at what point in the race I felt sure I would finish… I don't know when that moment happened. Maybe it wasn't a single moment. Maybe it was when I rounded that last corner and had the finish line in sight. I really had no idea how my run time had been… I stopped looking at my pace miles before the end. I had felt mentally clear the whole day and I wasn't being taken away on a gurney. When I saw the clock, I subtracted my swim start delay and knew I had finished well.
One surprising thing happened on the bike. On a hill, there was a group sitting at the edge of the subdivision cheering for the cyclists. Standing in the street, a lady holding her baby looked deliberately at me and said "you can do this" and I felt a wave of emotion. I knew I was doing it. This race taught me that big goals are possible and I don't know my own limits. On to the next goal!
Waterman's Half
Rock Hall, MD
October 4, 2014
Waterman's Half was my last triathlon of 2014. This season, I had also raced the Luray double and Reston triathlon. Going into Waterman's, I felt rested, but mentally in a very different place. Besides the usual stress of fall semester classes, which was in full swing, I learned of my Grandmother passing just two days prior. The news really affected me, but I was determined to not let it get in the way of this race, which I had been training for all summer.
I woke up early, but didn't feel very rested. Since this race had a late start, I had breakfast with my daughter at 6:30am; that was wonderful. I rode to the race site an hour later, only to find a crowded transition area and crappy rack position. I put that out of my mind and got set up. I saw some familiar faces. One athlete from Team Z saw me and introduced herself: "I recognize you from some other races you've won. You are intense." I was very flattered and it felt strange to be called out, but I just took the compliment. I was glad to see a couple other FeXYs racing, John Schaller and Rob Barlow. Their confidence was refreshing. With an hour left before transition closed, I was getting antsy, so I set out for a short run to clear my head. Back to transition I forced myself to eat a Vanilla Stinger Waffle and finish the water bottle I started earlier. Wetsuited and off to the swim start, I was more nervous than any other race this season.
Nutrition Pre-race:
Fuel: Breakfast shake (1 scoop strawberry Karbolyn (200kcal), 1 vanilla protein (145 kcal), 1 full raspberry scratch (80kcal) = 425 kcal).
Half a white bagel with cream cheese (~150 kcal).
Vanilla Stinger waffle (160 kcal)
Water: 1 full bottle
Electrolytes: 1 caffeine pill + 2 salt tabs
SWIM: 43:52, 1:47/100yd
Into the water at 9:13am, it was surprisingly chilly and brackish.
I tried to stay calm. Started my Garmin a few seconds before the gun. I was lined up way right, looked like a shorter line to me. My swim wave was a crazy mix of people; old guys, relays, Athenas, mixed bag… but not too large, fortunately. Maybe only 60 people.
Go time was 9:16am. It felt like I got to the first turn quickly, my stroke felt strong and fast. Not a whole lot of contact with other swimmers, except around the turns. One point I was pacing with another pale blue cap next to me, that kept getting closer, I tried to speed up to get ahead but didn't sustain it long enough and had to settle into a slower rhythm. The swim had 2 loops and 7 turns, which felt like a lot. Overcast skies helped with sighting though, since I wasn't blinded by the sun. I tried to bilateral breathe every 3 strokes and sight every 9th stroke. Not much drafting this race, felt mostly isolated. I got away from the sighting buoys after the 3rd turn. Tried to make a beeline for the turn buoy… this may have been where I swam extra, total was nearly 1.4mi.
Swim out was a wide ladder on the dock, with a volunteer helped me climb out. I felt wobbly, afraid the dock was slippery, but got moving as quick as I could.
So crowded! My bike was surrounded by two people struggling with their wetsuits. Loudly and politely, I said "Excuse me!" and barged in between them. Shed my wetsuit fast, turned bike Garmin on (doh!), noticed my glasses and helmet were on the ground, (must have fallen off aero bars), swallowed two salt tabs, gloves on, helmet on, glasses on. Running out. Passed at least 4 competitors right there, still transitioning. Both of those two people who had been crowding my bike were also still there. Passing them fueled my confidence and I ran to the mount line.
BIKE: 3:03:09, 18.4 mph AVG
This is the part of triathlon I live for. As soon as I'm on my bike, it's like I'm home. I quickly settled in for the miles headed out of town. Temp was mid-60s and I was comfortable. I made the right choice not wearing arm warmers. Thankful again that I took the extra seconds to put on gloves, especially for the 5 mile section of tar & chip section on Bayshore. Aero felt a little sore on my bruised elbow; I ignored it.
I passed a few other Athenas in the first 5 miles of the bike. The wind was at my back, I felt fast. Ate 3 shot bloks every 5 miles for first 25 miles, I had divided the packages into smaller packs of 3, then spaced out remaining 9 over last half of the race. Felt like enough fuel, but I probably could have done with more.
Aid stations were TOO short! I picked up a water bottle, (good hand-offs actually) and then 3 seconds later see a sign "No trash past this point" Did they want me to stop to refill my bottles? No way. I ended up only getting only a half of a bottle refilled at the first stop. Then drained my spare heading to the second aid station. I focused on drinking everything I had on board before the 3rd and final stop, then refilled my aero bottle there. A little less water than Raleigh, but it was a lot cooler.
The wind was really tough in places. Demoralizing, actually. I just put my head down, cursed a few times, and focused on keeping an even cadence. I was frustrated that I had to drop into the small ring. My heart rate spiked into zone 4 a couple of times but I noticed it and pulled back. I think most of the zone 3 was early, the second half of the ride was more in zone 2. I felt really strong at the end; after 40 miles, I was really in a rhythm I could have sustained a lot longer.
Staying in aero got harder toward the end, as my right arm was hurting. But it was so much more efficient in that wind than doing anything else, that I ignored the discomfort. I kept pushing all the way into T2, passing a few people in the city who were slowing down as transition approached.
I was shooting for sub 3-hours on this bike and thought I would be close. I passed a lot of people and there was no one I rode near for any length of time. Weather was gorgeous, aside from the wind, and really beautiful country. I enjoyed just being out there, it was a gorgeous day to race. Even though I missed the time goal by just a couple minutes, I knew I had biked strong and came into T2 feeling terrific.
Nutrition on bike:
Fuel: 4 packs clif shot bloks (800 kcal)
Water: 4.5 bottles of water
Electrolytes: 430 mg from 2 salt tabs in T1, 1200 mg in bloks
My dismount was awkward, but my legs didn't feel terrible. Not nearly as wobbly as at Raleigh. There was a large crowd of Team Z people near the fence of T2; when they saw my kit, they cheered "Go FeXY!" and rang their cow bells. Such an awesome surprise! I got to my rack and found it empty; then I knew I was in the lead for my category. Transition was smooth and fast. No nonsense. Ran out and settled in.
RUN: 2:10:02, 9:52min/mi AVG
This run wasn't about winning Athena, although it easily could have been. I had in sight that 6 hr overall time and knew I needed to run hard to get close. I was running for myself, not for a podium.
The first aid station was immediately after T2 and I ran right past it. Next aid station, I took a gel and a few sips to get it down. I noticed an immediate difference and felt better. When I took in fuel, I walked and drank water at the following aid station. I skipped a few when I didn't fuel. The last few bloks were harder to get down. It helped to take a sip of water and then swallow the chewed up bloks, went down faster that way. I'll remember that.
Salt tabs were definitely needed here. I started getting that loopy feeling at a few points, the salt helped. I didn't have salt in the bloks on the run, as I forgot to pack extra margarita bloks. Thankfully, I had a pack of cran razz bloks in my transition bag.
The second half was tougher, but I still felt pretty good. My right foot started getting sore after 8 miles, felt a blister forming on my toe, right edge of sole aching. I ignored it. The last 3 miles were very mental, but I focused on that 6 hr goal and kept pushing. I sipped water at the aid stations but kept running. I pulled the last mile closer to M pace, and pushed through to the finish. I really felt like I was racing, not just running.
Into the finish chute, the Team Z folks buoyed my spirits again shouting "Go FeXY! Finish strong!" And it felt really good to run hard through that finish line. No collapsing at the end…I felt fatigued, but still really good. And satisfied.
Nutrition on run:
Fuel: 2 gels (200 kcal total), 1 pack of bloks (200 kcal)
Mile 1.2: Tri-berry gel + caffeine, 1 salt tabs
Mile 3: 1 cran-razz blok
Mile 4.5: 2 cran-razz bloks + 2 salt tab
Mile 6: 2 cran-razz bloks
Mile 8: 1 cran-razz blok + 1 salt tab
Mile 10.5: Jet blackberry Gu (2x caffeine)
Water: 4 cups, approximately
Electrolytes: 4 salt tabs (860 mg)
The athletes racing Waterman's were incredibly supportive. More than once, I saw a Team Z athlete who said something encouraging. Seeing my own teammates, John and Rob, was a fantastic boost. One racer saw my red compression sleeves and said "You have the best socks ever!" When I saw her on the second run loop, she smiled again and pointed "Look! The best socks!" I saw some of the other Athenas behind me on the run loops and they cheered me on too. Such great sportsmanship! I returned the love whenever I could and it made the miles fly by.
Overall, this was a fantastic race and I felt strong and confident. I PR'd every leg of the race, won Athena by over 39 minutes, and finished 5th AG. Oh, and by 5 minutes, I PR'd my half marathon time too! Yes, I missed the 6 hr goal, but now I have that to shoot for in the future. The support of my fellow racers was a tremendous surprise and it made such a difference in my state of mind. I was more than a little worried about how I would do, considering my grandmother's recent passing and the stress of the semester. And I really thought this would be a lonely race without lots of other FeXYs. Thankfully, I was wrong! There was so much positive energy, it was hard to not feel amazing, even while I was pushing hard. Oh, to bottle that feeling for days when I forget! My finisher's medal is still hanging from my rearview mirror… a welcome reminder of this amazing day.
The two overall race times clearly tell the story; I definitely improved and became a better triathlete this season. Thank you to my coach, Shelly McKenna, for pushing me to be better and believing in me.
Both of these swims felt good, but I was definitely more comfortable at Waterman's. At the later race, I was able to push the pace at times and felt stronger amongst the other athletes swimming around me. A summer of extra swims at my local pool yielded a more confident racer. Unfortunately, I over swam both races this year. Next season, I may add more open water swims and practice sighting.
The bike at Waterman's was pancake flat, but had some killer wind. Raleigh was significantly more hilly than the Athlete guide had suggested. Because of the terrain difference, it's hard to compare my bike times for the two races. Heart rate wise, I had more zone 3 at Waterman's than I did at Raleigh, suggesting I was pushing harder to race, not just ride. Getting off the bike at the end is also a good sign of my improved fitness since Raleigh.
Running at Waterman's was so much better than Raleigh. With a cooler temperature and flat course, there was no trudging along like at Raleigh. Instead, I was racing. Mentally, I was stronger and physically, I felt better.
My progress in 2014 was a step in my continued evolution into a healthier life. Six years ago I was obese, I could barely walk the streets of my neighborhood without getting winded, and my doctor was concerned about my health. I never dreamed I was capable of racing a half ironman. In fact, there were many people who looked askance whenever I spoke about this goal. Moving to Virginia, finding a coach, joining Team FeXY… all these choices catalyzed me to where I am today. It has taken hours of commitment and more sacrifice than I can define, but I have no regrets. And I've come to learn how valuable is the support of a team and fellow athletes; without them, I know these stories would have been much different.
The slogan on my Raleigh finisher's certificate says "Anything is possible." I proved this adage true in 2014. Now, on to the next goal… Ironman Maryland 2015!

The Take back day initiative was started by the US Drug and Enforcement Agency to make sure that the unwanted and expired prescription drugs are safely disposed.
The Lodi Police Department took part in this event and collected an astounding 300 pounds of unused or expired prescription drugs. This is a huge intake as this is just the first time the department has participated in the national event.
It is usually seen that people either flush or throw always the prescription medicine, which is very hazardous. Most of the people don't know what to do with the prescription drugs once they are expired. This new way which is totally anonymous, gives them the opportunity to safely get rid of these drugs. Although all drugs are disposed, intravenous syringes are prohibited.
Earlier, it was estimated by the department that they would probably bring in around 100 pounds of unused and expired prescription drugs. But such a huge collection means that their initiative is a huge success.
The department now has even stated that they would make it an annual thing and would surely take part next year also. In the meantime, the department would create a permanent drop-off station in the police department lobby for people to deposit their expired prescription drugs.

After winning 11 straight primary and caucus victories against New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the current Democratic front-runner in the race to the White House, appears to be encroaching on Clinton territory in Ohio and Texas.
The most recent ABC News/ Washington Post poll showed him closing in on Clinton's once hefty lead in both states, and polls conducted since show an even tighter race.
Clinton has also received pressure from prominent Democrats and Obama backers to withdraw if she does not perform well in Texas and Ohio, Tuesday.
"Well, I think that'll be up to Sen. Clinton," said Obama. "But if we do well in Texas and Ohio, I think the math is such where it's going to be hard for her to win the nomination, and they'll have to make a decision about how much longer they want to pursue it."
"I would assume that there are going to be people who want to bring this to an end one way or another, because [Arizona Sen.] John McCain's out there — the reputed Republican nominee — and he's given a little bit of a free pass."
Huge crowds greeted Obama in Westerville, Ohio, Sunday. There was a decent amount of overflow and a few hundred left outside, unable to squeeze in.
Earlier in the day, a smaller event took place in the outskirts of Appalachia where he talked up "green jobs," but told the small audience it would be a challenge to turn the economy around.
To many political experts, Clinton's performance in delegate-rich states like Ohio and Texas has the potential of deciding the future of her campaign. Even former President Clinton has admitted that losing one could mean the end of his wife's presidential run.
Obama says he's not taking any chances. "Remember New Hampshire," he reminded reporters last week, recalling his surprising defeat in the New Hampshire primary.
But Clinton, feeling a newfound surge in energy after raising more than $35 million in February — Obama has reportedly raised more than $50 million — has shown no signs of giving up.
Recently, the Clinton campaign has increased its attacks on Obama, and the candidate has kicked up her rhetoric.
"For some people, this election is about how you feel," she told a crowd at a rally in Westerville, Ohio. "It is about speeches. That is not what it is about for me. It is about solutions."
Clinton sparked media attention last week after her campaign aired a new ad in Texas that suggests the senator is better able to handle a national crisis.
"It's 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep," a deep, ominous voice explains in the ad, while a camera pans over the faces of sleeping children. "But there's a phone in the White House, and it's ringing. Something's happened in the world. Your vote will decide who answers the call."
The Obama campaign accused the Clinton campaign of "fear-mongering."
"I think she has got a little desperate toward the end of this campaign," Obama told "Nightline's" Terry Moran, while campaigning in Ohio. "[She] has been a lot more aggressive in her negative attacks.
"As I've pointed out, we've actually had a pretty significant moment in the last several years, that called people's judgment into question. And that was the war in Iraq."

Call your doctor now or seek immediate medical care if:
Call a doctor if erection problems occur:
If your erection problem is occasional, there is no reason
to call your doctor. If it happens often and upsets you or your partner, it is okay to call your doctor. If an erection problem does not bother
you or your partner, you may choose not to call your doctor.
Watchful waiting means a "wait-and-see"
approach. A single episode of an erection problem is often a temporary and
easily reversible problem. Do not assume it will happen again. If possible,
forget about it and expect a more successful experience the next time. If you
or your partner is concerned about it, talk about the problem and openly
discuss your fears and anxieties.
If self-care has not helped
after 2 weeks and you are concerned about your inability to have an erection,
see a doctor who has experience in dealing with erection
Some health professionals, including doctors and
mental health professionals, may not feel comfortable discussing sexuality and
erection problems. Ask your health professional if he or she feels comfortable
with and has experience in working with men who have erection problems.
The following health professionals can evaluate symptoms of erection
If it is possible that a psychological problem is
contributing to your erection problem, your doctor may refer you to a health
professional such as a:

No this is not an Ed Ruscha painting. This magnificent opening film title still comes to us courtesy of Christian Annyas' The Movie Stills Collecting Corporation. The 1944 mystery-thriller was Directed by George Cukor, produced by Arthur Hornblow Jr., screenplay by John Van Druten, Walter Reisch and John L. Balderston. The movie featured Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten, Dame May Whitty, and an 18-year-old Angela "Murder She Wrote" Lansbury in her screen debut. I was of course drawn to this by the visual, but stumbled into an incredible etymology in the process of researching the film. It turns out the the term "gaslight" as been co-opted by clinical and research psychologists to describe "efforts to manipulate someone's sense of reality."
Here is an excerpt of the origins of the term from Wikipedia:
Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory and perception. It may simply be the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, or it could be the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.
The term "gaslighting" comes from the play Gas Light and its film adaptations. In those works a character uses a variety of tricks to convince his spouse that she is crazy, so that she won't be believed when she reports strange things that are genuinely occurring, including the dimming of the gas lamps in the house (which happens when her husband turns on the normally unused gas lamps in the attic to conduct clandestine activities there). Since then, it has become a colloquial expression that is now also used in clinical and research literature.
The term derives from the 1938 stage play Gas Light (originally known as Angel Street in the United States), and the 1940 and 1944 film adaptations. The plot concerns a husband who attempts to convince his wife and others that she is insane by manipulating small elements of their environment, and insisting that she is mistaken or misremembering when she points out these changes. The title stems from the husband's subtle dimming of the house's gas lights, which she accurately notices and which the husband insists she's imagining.

likelihood of ammonia toxicity (Bartley et al., 1976). If NPN is substituted for dietary protein, special emphasis should be given to the supplementation of potassium, phosphorus, and sulfur, which are absent in urea. Particular attention should be given to sulfur supplementation, because wool contains a high percentage of sulfur-containing amino acids.
In attempts to reduce the threat of ammonia toxicity and/or improve the utilization of ruminal ammonia, other forms of NPN (biuret, triuret, and complexes of urea with formaldehyde or molasses) have been developed (Nikolic et al., 1980). These compounds have slower ammonia release, which should more nearly parallel energy availability and increase bacterial protein synthesis (Johnson, 1976). However, these slow release forms of NPN have not consistently improved nitrogen utilization (Owens and Bergen, 1983).
Dietary protein is either digested in the rumen or escapes undigested to the omasum and abomasum. If it is not digested in the rumen, it is described as "bypass" or "escape" protein (Owens and Bergen, 1983). Bypass protein is either digested postruminally or excreted in the feces. Dietary protein degraded in the rumen yields ammonia (Chalupa, 1975), which can then be incorporated into microbial protein. Chalupa (1975), Satter and Roffler (1975), and ARC (1980) have classified protein sources on the basis of the extent to which they bypass ruminal degradation (percentage of dietary protein that reaches the small intestine undigested). Low-bypass sources (‹ 40 percent) include casein, soybean meal, sunflower meal, and peanut meal; medium-bypass sources (40 to 60 percent) include cottonseed meal, dehydrated alfalfa meal, corn grain, and brewers dried grains; and high-bypass sources (› 60 percent) include meat meal, corn gluten meal, blood meal, feather meal, fish meal, and formaldehyde-treated proteins. Feed processing conditions, animal variations, dietary alterations, and changes in microbial population affect extent of dietary protein bypass, but these effects have not been well quantitated. When high-bypass protein sources are fed, supplementation with NPN will be needed to maintain adequate ruminal ammonia levels for microbial protein synthesis.
Increased bypass of dietary protein does not always increase production, because bypassed protein may be poorly digested postruminally, the balance of amino acids available for absorption from the small intestine may be poor, or other nutrients may limit production (Young et al., 1981; Owens and Bergen, 1983). Conversely, if microbial protein is the only protein reaching the small intestine, animal production may not be maximal (Satter et al., 1977). Presentation to the small intestine of a mixture of microbial protein and complementary dietary protein is desired. Striving to optimize this mixture will undoubtedly be the subject of much research activity in the future, as it has been in the past.
Amino acids available for absorption from the small intestine are supplied by microbial and/or bypassed dietary protein. The tissues of sheep require the same amino acids as those of the nonruminant (Black et al., 1957; Downes, 1961). In sheep, however, the relationship of dietary amino acid supply with tissue requirements has been difficult to define because of the intervention of the protein digestive and synthetic functions in the rumen. Also, amino acid requirements are difficult to quantitate because of variability in requirements for various productive functions. For example, wool growth responds to sulfur amino acid supplementation (Reis and Schinckel, 1963), whereas other functions do not. Hogan (1975) concluded that the amino acid composition of protein deposited in the tissues and that secreted in milk, plus the maintenance requirement, should equal the total needed by the animal. Owens and Bergen (1983) further concluded that the quantity, as well as the ratios, of amino acids required by the animal varies with both the productive function and the level of production.
Dietary amino acids are normally rapidly degraded in the rumen. To increase bypass, Neudoerffer et al. (1971) and Digenis et al. (1974) coated dietary amino acids so they would be ruminally stable but available for absorption postruminally, suggesting that the combination of amino acid and NPN supplementation may be feasible in the future.
Ammonia deficiency in the rumen reduces the extent and efficiency of rumen function. Deficiencies or imbalances of amino acids at the tissue level result in decreased protein synthesis, as well as reduced feed intake and lower efficiency of feed utilization. Growth rate and milk and wool production all react to inadequate protein intake. Extreme deficiency results in severe digestive disturbances, loss of weight, anemia, edema, and reduced resistance to disease. Increased feed intake after that protein was deficient (NRC, 1984).
Excess protein becomes an expensive and inefficient source of energy, but rather large excesses can be fed without producing acute toxicity (Fenderson and Bergen, 1976). Excesses of NPN or highly soluble protein may

"I am throwing a sprinkle shower for my daughter. She is having a girl and I wanted something that was feminine and elegant looking. This card was that. Not many sprinkle cards to be found. The paper is high quality and the price is worth it."
"I love everything about this invitation. I purchased it with the shimmer paper and it just added that special touch. The white envelopes are a great quality as well. I would recommend ordering a sample, to make sure its the perfect invitation for you. Shipping was fast."
"I loved the design for my umbrella-themed shower I was throwing. I was able to change the wording to a cute poem, all while keeping the feel and cute design! I got so many compliments on the card. I contacted customer service after I had a last-minute request to change the time and they were wonderful to work with! I would absolutely recommend tinyprints and I've already used them again! TWICE! Customer for life here :)"
"This design is absolutely adorable. It was love at first sight when I saw this design, I knew I wanted it for our co-ed baby shower. I got the card with round edges and upgraded it to the shimmer pearl paper. I am so glad I got the shimmer peal paper because it made the card look even more amazing. The designer also was able to add in my request of adding text on the back of the card which was a plus. I received this in the mail quite fast and as promised by the delivery date. I feel the quality and product on Tiny prints definately is better than the other websites I have used in the past for cards."
"I ordered this card for my friend's second baby shower/sprinkle. I loved that everything was customizable. I was able to put my own little poem on the back. Paper is great quality and arrived before I even expected it. Love!"

I have given XML document and some node in it. This node is wrapped by my class and this mentioned class should be serialized and then deserialized (in some workflow). My problem reveals because my node implementation (which I have to use) could not be serialized. After deserializing I have to have some reference to serialized node (to be specific - to it's parent).
What I would like to achieve is to save path to my node to some unambiguous object, which could be serialized. Then this object (serialized path) must be unambiguous restored to base Node.
This behaviour places me to think about XPath. XPath object (it's command) can be serialized and can be used to get Node from document. But I don't know any way to save XPath to given Node in context of XML document.
Any help would be appreciated

for those of you wondering, i'm alive. it just takes awhile for Time Warner to remember you exist. if you're wondering what happened to me, here it is in a nutshell:
As some of you know, this is when I enrolled at Urbana University (something Id advise against doing). From January through May I attended UU pursuing a Sports Industry major. At the end of the semester, I finished with a 3.5 GPA. I also dressed, and practiced with the Blue Knights baseball team, though I was more or less a red-shirt freshman. I could practice, but I couldnt play due to my enrollment timing. To this point, things were going well. Then the middle of May began.
First, after a year of work with no time missed, I was laid-off by Wal-Mart. Apparently when you project to make $20,000,000,000 and only make $11,000,000,000 that comes out as a loss even though your expense line is $5,000,000,000 (damn accountants).
Just before being terminated, Lady Raven had told me that she was becoming unhappy with the arrangement of seeing each other just twice a week (not that I was thrilled with it by any means). If this doesnt make sense to you, let me explain; I lived in Piqua, she lived near Maineville. I worked full-time, went to school, and played baseball, she worked part-time and went to school full-time (18 credit hours). So after some discussion, we decided it would be most beneficial for me to move closer, and transfer over to her school (University of Cincinnati: Raymond Walters College).
Already being urged by me and several of our friends, we convinced Lady Raven to move out of the oppressive house of her family. So we sent our friends looking at houses, while her and I concentrated on other things
Not long after this point (the last week of May), I got a letter from Urbana or more appropriately, a bill. 10 credit hours, $2,175. Confused, I asked the financial aid department about the bill. To which I go the reply of: We never received the promissory note, so you got no aid.
That in of itself is frustrating enough, but when you put it in the proper course of events, it shows why I hold murderous rage toward Urbana and would laugh in joy if everyone and everything their died (or at least the administrators). You see, back in January when I enrolled, I filled out my FAFSA and UUs student loan info. I qualified for $2,200 in loans and grants. In March I received a form to fill out from Great Lakes Bank (or Trust Company or something) to get my main loan ($1,850). I filled it out, and very specifically the form stated several times to give it to my schools financial aid department. So I did. When I gave it to the woman, she said, OK, Ill take it from here.
April came. I hadnt heard anything about my loans. So I asked the aid department. Its all right Rob, everything is as it should be. End of April, I ask again, because I vaguely remembered that form saying I was going to receive another form to fill out about repayment. Again I get Everythings fine, youre financial aid is taken care of. First week of May rolls around, finals are happening, I decided to personally go to the office and check in this time, again she said, Dont worry, youve filled everything out and we sent it all to the appropriate people.
Three times I asked about my financial aid, three times I was told it was fine. So I get the first bill, told that I never filled out a promissory note (not that I received anything else to fill out), and told that because my account was 4 months delinquent (remember, I enrolled in January but didnt get a bill til May) that if I didnt start paying they were going to tack on an 18% interest rate. All this I discover the week after Im laid-off.
To go along with that, I didnt qualify for unemployment because I was a student-athlete and therefore receiving government money already. Whoever was governor in the mid-80s who didnt veto that needs shot in the head.
The next month, the month of June, I spent unemployed, looking for a job. Ironically that was the most fun month Ive had since becoming an adult. Seeing Lady Raven on any day she didnt work, D&D every Friday night and Saturday night, fishing most every night, baseball workouts and watching nearly everyday, and job hunting all along the way. As well, I was enrolled in an online class through the University of Western Oregon for Sports Management Worldwide. For those who know what Im talking about, yes, that is the class that is in part directed by Rob Neyer. Of course, at the time I enrolled in that $1,000 class, I still had a job although there were only three days remaining in it (unbenounced to me, boy would that have been beneficial to know. Especially given that the store manager knew I was being terminated two weeks beforehand). I think I slept for maybe 10 hours total that month.
Finally, July gets here. Just after the holiday, I get a job through a temp service working at Cenveo (formerly Direct Graphics). They are a direct mailing company (read as, they send you junk mail). Unless youve worked in a letter shop, bindery, or pressroom, you really have no idea how much effort goes into filling that wastepaper basket by your door. I was a binder. The machine would fold the mail, it would come to me, Id grab a handful, put it in a vice and tape a plastic band around it. I would put it on a skid, then it would be taken (usually a week later) to the stitcher to be put as an insert, or sent to the letter shop to be put in an envelope. This job was boring, but I somehow found it entertaining. In case your wondering, this is about the time my posting came very limited because I was working 50-70 hours a week.
1. Found out that at time-and-a-half, I was still making less money than all other bindery workers in the Tri-state were at regular hours.
2. My reflexes and hand-eye coordination disappeared. I couldnt field, I couldnt hit a 15 wide, 5 tall brick wall with a baseball from 20 away. I could just barely hit off a batting tee.
3. In a month and a half, my mind deteriorated. I had trouble remembering things, I became slow at learning new things. Even speaking became a concentrated chore. The thing that absolutely frightened me though, and it was last Sunday this happened, I found about three pages of riddles I had written from about 8th grade to 10th grade, and I couldnt answer them. Most of them I couldnt even come up with a good guess. Damn monotonous job robbed me of my wits, which Im slowly starting to regain.
My last day at Cenveo was September second. That weekend, I started to move to Cincinnati (in Clifton to be exact) into the house mine and Lady Ravens friends had found. The house is myself, Lady Raven, and three of our friends. Four UC students, and one Cincinnati State student. Or at least thats how it was supposed to work. Now its three UC students, and one CS student. The bastards that are Urbana University screwed me more than I had initially realized on my financial aid.
UC has not received a transcript from UU. Nor is UU sending one anytime soon. Urbana will not send a transcript until my balance with them is $0. Now between car insurance, deposits and first month <insert whatever here>, and sending $50/week to UU, I do not have the capability to give them the remaining $1,700+ on my balance. On top of that, the $10 I sent UU to fax my transcript ($5 to handle it, $5 to fax it or mail it) is garnished and doesnt count for my balance. *twitch twitch twitch*
So I looked into abandoning the credits I had at Urbana. UC liked the idea. However, even abandoned, state law requires that UU send my transcript to UC. In the limited conversation I have been able to have with UU on the subject, not a damn one of them has any idea what Im talking about.
The transcript thing I found out last Monday. Ive been at this house for nearly 2 weeks (which, why does it take Time Warner three weeks to be able to come and install Road Runner?), because of having to wait on utility people, or land lords, or what have you, Ive had one real day to look for a job. Last Friday. So I was able to apply at a few places. All about 25 minutes away driving thats about to get really significant.
You see, after having been informed about the joy that is my transcript and tuition, I got into a car accident (no injuries) a car accident almost quite literally, in front of my house. The bloody school a block from my house was letting. I was going to be going straight on a street that crosses my own. The right lane of that road was congested to the point where no one was moving, the left lane had traffic flow. Im inching out from the stop sign because no one in the lane Im cutting off is going anywhere. When a medium build blonde lady in Dodge Caravan waves me through, I start to go, Lady Raven yells STOP! I do. A little more than a full second later, boom. Car accident.
My 1997 Saturn SL1 met with a 2000 Volkswagen Passat which was travelling 20 MPH. Ironically, the lady admitted she could have stopped in time to avoid the collision if she had been looking forward instead of looking to left to find her kids, yet the officer cited me for failure to yield. The circuits to my lights were destroyed, my bumper demolished, radiator torn in half, and both sides of my frame bent more than 5 out of alignment. Estimated damage of $3,800 $600 more than what I got the car for. Her car? Not a scratch. Not even chipped paint or a mark on her bumper. The officer and two of the eyewitnesses had to ask me twice where her car actually made contact. When the officer asked me what my address was so she could make her report, I pointed and said, thats my house right there. You see, when we moved out of the road after the accident, the lady unknowingly parked right in front of my porch. When the officer saw that she looked like she was about to cry, and then profusely apologized to me for having to cite me. It was nice that she felt sorry for me, but you know, what I need more is to not have to spend $104 on a citation.
The lady who waved me through bolted. She made a sharp turn around my car that I didnt think a caravan had the ability to do to get on the other side of me and take off. Ive watched for her, I see her everyday at about 3:15 or so.
So here it is Friday. I have to pay the tow truck for hauling my car to the body shop only to find I need to scrap it, unemployed, unable to go to school. Pretty much alone outside of the people I live with, dont know the area, have no car, have less than $200 due in large part to deposits and because Wendys is pathetic, Lady Raven who is a devout Catholic couldnt get any fish and had to have a cheeseburger.
Theres where Ive been/disappeared to, this adult thing gets better, right? *pours another shot 151*

Season tickets for the 2013 season will be distributed in new "All-In Books." Also included in the books will be parking passes (if purchased) and information about game day at Commonwealth Stadium.
"Our goal was to condense everything season ticket holders need to know about coming to Commonwealth into one packet," said Joe Sharpe, UK's Associate Athletics Director for Tickets. "From tickets to parking passes to information about traffic and game day activities, it's all here."
The book's cover says "2013 University of Kentucky Season Tickets" (see above) and will come in spiral-bound books. Tickets and parking passes (if purchased) are located in the back of the book. All tickets are individually marked with barcodes and security foils that protect the holder's investment.
"The All-In Books are the result of a collaborative effort between the ticket office, K Fund, event management and marketing," Sharpe said. "I'd like to thank everyone involved for their work."
In addition, season tickets have been designed so that they can be kept as a commemorative piece at the conclusion of the season. Each ticket book can be arranged horizontally to form the artwork below.
Suite tickets will also be distributed in an All-In Book. Tickets will be larger and will feature menu options.
The All-In Books are expected to be shipped in mid-August. All season ticket holders who place their orders by July 14 will receive them, so make sure to buy your tickets before then if you haven't already.

The Joey Dunlop Foundation (established 2001) is an Isle of Man Charity whose main aim has always been to create specialist accommodation that will open up the Isle of Man to visitors with disability. Braddan Bridge House, located in the islands capital, Douglas, hosts apartments available for the needs of all disabled guests and allow them to experience the beauty of the island and the excitement of the TT street-bike races.
The Joey Dunlop Holiday Home was formally opened on the 6th June 2010 by Linda Dunlop accompanied by John McGuinness and we are proud to bear the name of one of the TT's most famous riders - our charity caries his spirit and fortitude and represents the very best for disabled visitors. The JDF is run by experienced staff, many of whom are ex-racers themselves, who through injury or misfortune and perfectly qualified to fulfil the needs of the guests.
On this site you can see what we do, look around the accomodation, and make reservations for a stay. There is also a merchandise section where you can support the charity or make a simple donation through the contact page.
Thank you to all the loyal supporters who have helped us over the years and we hope that you continue to help the Foundation keep the holiday home running in future years.

Based on everything I've been reading here (and without actually ripping apart my new bike to check) it seems like these GS's have a "throttle by wire" system where there is no actual physical linkage between the throttle and the fuel valve(s), but rather everything is managed electronically. Is that right?
If so, then that's another potential area of concern if your device is going to be changing or overriding how the ECU responds to throttle inputs by using some kind of microcontroller connected up to the system. A device that just spoofs the air temperature sensor readings is one thing, and seems inherently fairly safe. But if yours do more than that, then there's a chance that a bug in your code could do something unexpected like switch the ECU into the Overrun Fuel Cutoff subroutine right when I need the throttle to get me through an intersection and out of the path of a semi.
Call me paranoid, but I'm an engineer and have seen how easily little design flaws in electronics or software bugs can trigger bizarre and completely unanticipated behaviour. That's one advantage large organizations like BMW have over one or two person enterprises - they have teams of people dedicated to all the detailed code reviews, fault testing, and validation that are required to ensure product safety... and even then problems can still crop up - can you say Toyota?
Good old throttle by "cable" but a valid point... unless Poolside says otherwise not valid in this instance though.
As your attorney, I advise you to buy a motorcycle. How else can we cover a thing like this righteously?

Here you have it. In the next few centuries, we can colonize the solar system in any number of different ways using largely conventional technology extended to meet the reasonable challenges of week-long hope to Mars, Saturn or elsewhere.
If you are a planetary scientist, you are having one of your best years... ever! Beyond the drama of the images, the technology that makes them possible is also amazing. How could anyone NOT be excited by the exploration of our solar system? Who needs the distant stars... for now.
Here are seven stargazing sites, all recognized by the International Dark Sky Association for their inky-black nights, that offer stellar views of the heavens above.
On December 6 the New Horizons spacecraft, en route to Pluto and its system of moons since 2006, will come out of hibernation mode. This marks the first step in setting up for the flyby of Pluto and its moons that will occur on July 14, 2015, giving us our first-ever thorough look at what many consider to be the last great frontier of the Solar System.
Cast into space on September 5, 1977, from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral, Florida. And mounted on a Titan IIIE/Centaur launch vehicle, Voyager-1 is now the farthest human-made object from Earth at 17,922,521,702 km (119.80465777 au).
At some 4.6 billion years old, the Sun is about halfway through its life. In another 5 billion years it will be a normal "adult" star no more. Here's the skinny on the upcoming demise of the star that you owe everything to: light, warmth, energy, and life.
An ambitious campaign by the space fundraising group Uwingu starts today that will allow participants to beam a message to Mars.
In 2006 the IAU "demoted" Pluto to dwarf-planet status, setting off an outcry of public disappointment, first among schoolchildren but later among all classes of astronomy enthusiasts, and even planetary scientists, who disagree with the IAU's logic.
We may actually be of the utmost significance to the universe, because after nearly 14 billion years of cosmic evolution, it is through our brain power that the universe has finally achieved self-awareness.
I was recently asked to recommend a space program for a "greatest achievement" award in the area of aeronautics or astronautics. How could you not go with Voyager? I mean, for the first time in the roughly 2 million-year-old human species, something we have conceived of and created has traveled beyond our solar system.
Each of us seems to think ours is the only worthwhile goal. And of course we also each have our own favorite spacecraft, our own perfect solutions and systems and approaches, and everyone else be damned, because my way is the space highway.
Dear HECO, The sun is golden The sky is blue I want my system To interconnect with you Love, Hawaii Solar Customers Hundreds of HECO customers will...
Just as Holly Hunter is still really funny in Home for the Holidays no matter how many times we've seen it, our Solar System remains full of surprises and worth exploring, so we thought it was a good time to compile a list of our favorite places to visit in our cosmic home.
As astronomers who have been watching the comet know, however, the past few days -- and the next few days -- will not be the best ones to try to catch the comet.
In late November, Comet ISON moves its fastest as it flies from Virgo, through Libra and Scorpius, and then heads north into Ophiuchus.
Comet ISON (C/2012 S1), the much-anticipated visitor from the distant depths of the solar system, continues to brighten and this week should reach naked-eye visibility as seen from a dark sky, away from city lights.

Initially I had this code in XAML:
<CollectionViewSource x:Name="cSource">
<Binding Source="{StaticResource NameOfXmlDataProvider}" XPath="letter"/>
But I wanted to keep a binding object in the C# code, to be able to dynamically alter it's xpath. Currently I have this code:
CollectionViewSource viewSource = this.FindResource("cSource") as CollectionViewSource;
Binding binding = new Binding( "Source" );
binding.Source = _xmlDataProvider;
binding.XPath = "/new/path/to/nodes";
BindingOperations.SetBinding( viewSource, CollectionViewSource.SourceProperty, binding );
This compiles and doesn't complain but when called it only leads to an empty list. I can't seem to find related examples in the web - most of them deal with the data providers but I want to change the binding.
- Anybody knows how to fix this?
- Or is there a better way to do this?
- Maybe from retrieving the binding object from the collectionview and changing it?
