This spring is all about speed for me. I'm trying to get faster, so I'm focussing on three 10K races with a dedicated 10K training plan from McMillan. I've basically grabbed the 6-7 day plan, picked a target time of 44min, and found all the prescribed paces on McMillan.com for training.
3 weeks in, and I've learned that I have a lot to learn about running fast.
Monday: I ran 11 x 30s fast and a final 1x90s fast. with 1 minute recoveries. These striders were basically full speed for me. My pace inched down to about 5:30m/m for the first 11, and then I ran all out for 90 seconds. I had just read a runDanrun bloop and wanted to see what a fast quarter felt like. Supposedly, I covered a quarter mile in 76 seconds. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't, but I do know this---I sure was winded.
I had to visit Southern China for business later Monday, and I stayed until Wed. It rained hard the whole time, so I didn't run. 2 rest days! Pretty good for me, but I ate like a fool. I moved my Wed run to Thursday.
Thursday: I had 6x1mile on the schedule. Pace: 7:11-7:26. Tempo Intervals. I've done 3x1 faster than that, but 6 was a bit daunting. Oh well, what's a runner to do? 7:14, 7:18, 7:20, 7:19, 7:20, 7:18
Friday was a recover day w/6.5 easy miles, and then I ran 11.25miles yesterday. I even threw in an up-down-turn-a-round 500ft hill to make it interesting. I pushed it up the hill and felt strong.
This all sounds great right? I wish it were so peachy, but I'm really toeing the line with a couple of potential injuries. My LF has a PF scare, and my shin hurts when I push on the front. I can hop ok, though, and I'm taping the heck out of my foot for every run. I believe the injuries are telling me to be careful rather than take a break right now.
I believe I know where the problem lies. Speeding up and running fast is easy (until it isn't), but transitioning from fast to slow is where I feel a ton of stress on my legs and feet. The stress makes sense, but I haven't figured out how to make that transition graceful. It feels like I'm just pounding my heels into the ground. I really noticed it this week, so this is going to be my area of focus. Any tips?
Wow best wishes to you.
Rock on and keep on running.....
What kind of shoes are you in? I do a good amount of speed work, but I need cushioned shoes.
Not much advice on the subject of training for speed other than to take care of yourself. I have never trained specifically for anything but a marathon so I never have to run anything faster than 5k pace. PF is stupid and I hate it...it ruins so many people and runners. Stay on top of that gentle calf and hamstring stretching. The shin is worrisome.....my massage therapist presses the muscle onto the bone and it relieves alot for me.
Nice job on the 6x1 mile. Great consistency!!!
How I wish I had some advice for you Deuce! But when I start seeing things like 5:30m/m in your bloops, I realize how far out ahead of me you are, my friend. Only general advice I can offer is to take care of your body. As you know from earlier this year, sitting on the sidelines stinks. Good luck!
Wow, that is speedy! Hope you figure out the transition!
Try walking a dozen steps or so before picking up into your jog on your recoveries, and then focus on your for during the recovery run just like you would for the fast part. As you get used to the intervals, walking will become less needed, but for now it will give you a chance to recover a bit more and maybe beat yourself up a bit less.
Take care of the foot!
That is some great speed work Deuce! Take care of the foot. Don't need time off now. Better to ease a bit now than have to come to a full stop later.
Run on everyone.....................Steve
You're already crazy fast, but have at it. I always eat like a fool on rest days.
Parachute pants would help with the slow down. Seriously though, do you remember as a kid running through first base and slowing down by keeping the weight back and low with most of the motion being from the knee down and the thighs acting more like shock absorbers? This is strictly just a guess but I know it keeps from having the force drive all the way up to the hip, but possibly more on the knees. And don't forget to spit!
In it for the long run.
A lot of speed work too quickly is like a like a lot of mileage too quickly. If your body isn't used to the quicker turnover (re: form issues) and impact....well, you know, pain happens. Hope it's more twinge, less injury--you are certainly running some awesome splits!
--->The stress makes sense, but I haven't figured out how to make that transition graceful.
I am still working on this. Not sure it will ever happen. But, at least we can keep plugging away on the speed. You are rocking it. That's all that matters.
Wowza! You've gotten really fast!
I noticed sometimes after speedwork that I feel aches and pains in places I don't normally feel, especially my ankles, I think we're just running in a higher gear although I have zero scientific evidence to back this up, I think ice baths and ice packs are my only secret weapon.
So speedy!
I don't have any advice but I hope everything holds up okay.
I ramble...
My RF always lets me know when I've been running too fast/hard. Hope it subsides for you!

Before I blog about my shopping experience in Seoul, you may want to read about my post in Busan as well as Jeju Part I and Part II (or later? :P ). I hope it gives you a better idea of where to visit! :)
From Jeju Domestic Airport, we took a domestic flight by Eastar Jet and flew to Gimpo Airport in Seoul. We had about 8 full days to spend in Seoul so we took things really slowly.
Upon arrival at Gimpo Airport, we had to take a subway to Myeongdong station where our hotel was located at. Before doing so, purchase your T-money travel card from this convenience store called GS25 at the airport. The T-money card by itself cost 3000 won, so you need to top up money at either GS25 or at the Automated Travel Card Recharging Machine installed in the subway stations. It's so easy to use the machine until we even select Korean as the language!
|T-money travel card can be purchase at GS25.
The hotel that we were staying in was very near Myeongdong shopping area. In my opinion, the best place to shop for skincare has to be Myeongdong!
Myeongdong Shopping Street
Alight at Myeongdong station and exit 6. Immediately you will see this bustling shopping district with countless of shops and restaurants. What I love about this place is that any Korean cosmetic brand you can think of, you will be able to find it in Myeongdong.
And for the convenience of international shoppers, they have sales girls who can speak in both Mandarin and English. So if you had a question about the product, don't hesitate to ask them!
|Myeongdong shopping street.
Some of the Korean brands you can find are: Etude House, The Face Shop, Nature Republic, Tony Moly, Holika Holika, Missha and Laneige. I bought at least one skincare product from each of them! Will be doing a review on the products I bought soon. :D
|Shops in Myeongdong.
In Seoul, Ewha Women's Universiy is probably the best place to shop for clothes and shoes. Because of its location near the university, shopping and food was made more affordable. Prices range from 5000 won (SGD $5.70) to 10,000 won (SGD $11.30). This area is full of shops all aimed at women so it wasn't a very good shopping area for the guys.
|Ewha Women's University Fashion Street
To get to Ewha Women's University Fashion street, take subway line 2 to Ewha Station and exit 2 or 3. Walk straight out and you will be able to see many fashion shops along the street. After shopping in Ewha for some time, you may already find yourself walking in Sinchon shopping district.
From Sinchon, we walked to Hongdae using google maps, but it wasn't easy because there was limited Wi-Fi signal as we walked. Take a subway if you would like to get to Hongdae! But bear in mind that the prices in Hongdae are much more expensive. The same top I saw in Ewha cost 5000 won, but it cost 8000 won in Hongdae.
|Ewha Women's University Fashion Street
|Not forgetting to grab some street food as well.
Piping hot Cinnamon pancake!
|My favourite & most expensive buy from Ewha.
It's handmade and cost SGD $55. Please last long!
|Sweet potato pizza for dinner in Hongdae.
Dongdaemun Night Market
For the guys, their favourite place to shop has to be Dongdaemun night market. Their malls are quite similar to our Far East Plaza but clothes for the ladies were expensive. Go during the night (starts around 9pm to 3am), because that's the time when wholesale starts! One of the best mall to visit is Hello apM. Bf bought several long sleeve shirts and pants from Hello apM at good prices, but bargaining was a little hard. :/
To get here, Take subway line 2 to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park station and exit 2 or 14.
|Hello apM at Dongdaemun night market.
If you're feeling hungry from the night shopping, there are lots of street food to choose from in Dongdaemun. One of my favourite street food was the Fish cake skewers! Just stand around the steaming hot pot and scoop some soup into the disposable cup provided. Dip the fish cake skewer into the soup and add some soya sauce. It has a peppery taste to it and I love it so much! One stick cost around SGD $1.
Because it's so delicious, I forgot to take a photo of it. :( So, here's a photo of how it look like.
|Fish cake skewers.
|Ddeokbokki. So chewy and spicy!
Lotte Mart
Lotte mart is a must-go-place in Seoul! It is similar to our Singapore's Giant and NTUC selling groceries, electronics and clothes, but Lotte Mart is even better I promise. Alight at Seoul Station and exit 1.
Shopping for tibits can be such an enjoyable experience in Lotte mart! You don't get that kick in Singapore to shop for tibits. Bf and I bought so much tibits until the combined cost was around SGD $140. In case you are worrying about bringing them back to Singapore, fret not! They have self-service stations whereby you pack the tibits in using the boxes provided. In short, choose a good sturdy box, fold it, tape the base securely, put in your tibits and tape it again.
|The happy me with 9kg of tibits!
|My top 3 favourite buys from Lotte Mart. They are a must-buy!
Shall also review the two hotels I stayed in Seoul. Scroll down!
Reviews for Myeongdong Dream Hotel
The first hotel we stayed in was Myeongdong Dream house. It was a nightmare for us. Luckily we only had to stay there for 4 nights and then changed to another hotel for another 4 nights. Will not recommend this hotel to anyone.
First of all, there was no lift. We had to carry our heavy luggages up to the 4th storey. Secondly, the room I had was the worst. There was no basin and because the room was located at the outer edge of the hotel, the ceiling was slanted and low and we had to squat brushing our teeth on the floor! Thirdly, there was bloodstain on the bedsheet. YES! SUPER GROSS!
The kindhearted me, decided to give them another chance, hoping that the next morning room cleaning, they would change the bed sheet. But they didn't (I should have expected that), and we had to continue seeing that blood-stained bed sheet for 4 days. Room was dusty as well. Worst still, my friends' rooms had bugs and cockroaches in the middle of the night. -.-
I'll rate this hotel a 2 out of 5. The only good reason to stay in this hotel is the short walking distance to Myeongdong shopping area and Seoul Namsan Tower.
|The lobby outside
|Hotel FA2 room.
|Address : 844-2 Jegi-Dong, Dongdaemun-Gu, Dongdaemun-Gu
|The hotel dog Ruki. It's super small and cute!
Another reason for coming back.
|Jajangmyeon delivery at Hotel FA2.
That's it for my shopping in Seoul! Another tip to remember is to get your tax refund form when you purchase 30,000 won or more in retail shops such as Myeongdong and Dongdaemun areas. Participating shops are designated by the "Global Blue TAX FREE" or "Global TAXFREE" logo.
- Fill in all the necessary particulars on the tax refund forms. Do it the night before instead of writing at the counter to save time.
- At the airport, look for the Tax Refund Counter and get a chop on the tax refund forms before checking-in your luggage.
- After going through the customs, proceed to the Refund Counter on the departure floor to get your cash refund.
The next entry will be the my last post in Seoul. Please stay with me! :D Lots of food photos and Everland themepark photos to share.

How To Not Let Pregnancy Hormones Ruin Everything
I'm a newlywed and newly pregnant and should be over the moon, but I'm miserable. I've been so sick since about three weeks in that I've become perpetually cranky. I'm now five months along and it's not getting better. My husband is sleeping on the couch because he's tired of being yelled at, and I can't say I blame him. Logically, I know this isn't his fault and I shouldn't be taking my pain out on him but these hormones are really real and I can't help the way I feel. I don't want my baby to break up my marriage! What should I do?
Risha London Nathan, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Holistic Health Counselor
Well, let's focus on the good first: Congratulations on both your marriage and your pregnancy! Any new stage in life requires a transition period, so as long as you're up to making a few small changes, we can get your husband back in your bed before the new roommate arrives. It would be great if you two were cuddling and closer than ever for nine months, but pregnancy can be an extremely difficult time for many women, and as a wise bumper sticker once said, "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." So, here's what it boils down to — not only is stress not good for you and your husband, it's also unhealthy for your baby to be receiving all the stress hormones you're releasing, so let's get him back to being your partner instead of your punching bag. Here are my suggestions.
RELATED: Does A Happy Marriage All Come Down To A Happy Husband?
1. Try to figure out what's making you feel so physically sick. A lot of women tend to see pregnancy as a time where can eat whatever they want. In reality, this should be a time that you're taking excellent care of yourself, both physically and emotionally. Your baby is only getting what is going on in your body, so make it the best that you can. Fill your body with healthy foods, and cultivate a calm environment for him/her. Check out Sea-Bands as well. Although they're for motion sickness, people use them for nausea during pregnancy as well.
2. Take good care of yourself and get support wherever you can. I understand the tendency to isolate when you're feeling bad but what ends up happening is that your husband is the only person you see and he gets the brunt of your moods, so the key to diffusing your stress is by distracting yourself from your discomfort and staying busy. Explore things like meditation to stabilize mood, pre-natal yoga and massage, or possible acupuncture for the nausea and hormone stabilization. It's not fun to feel nauseated and sick and whatever you can do to decrease this will help you feel better emotionally. Reach out to friends, moms, colleagues, and anyone else who might be a support system for you. It might also help to talk to your baby when you're feeling really bad, as it helps to humanize the pain and remember what the end goal is: an amazing little person who is very much worth the struggle.
3. Be on the same team with your husband. Although this is all happening to your body, you're going through it together. Explore where your anger is coming from and identify your triggers. You're right that hormones are very real but they're not an excuse to lash out, so next time you feel a mood coming on, think on what you're really upset about, and what feelings and truths are dominant. When we don't express anger and emotions in a healthy way, they eventually show up in unhealthy ways so share your experiences with him, and include him in the process and positive parts of it so he doesn't feel like this is his "fault." Talk to him about what's wrong, but also talk to him about what's right. Being in a loving, supportive home goes a long way to get you through the tough times, and you'll need that healthy connection for when the baby arrives.
Lastly, just remember that this is just a bump in the road. You will not feel like this forever and the finish line is closer than you think. Plus, you get a prize at the end! Congrats again — wishing you the best last trimester ever!

Let's face it: Sometimes, you could use some (non-retail) therapy, and sitting on a stranger's couch isn't on your list of to-dos.

Because, if one were enough, you'd have stopped bugging your BFF about how long you should wait until you text your ex back.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. A new study that says there may be a link between diet drinks and heart disease.
The research was presented at a conference at the American College of Cardiology in Washington and may be an important caution to the one in five Americans who down a diet drink every day.
The women's health initiative study looked at 60,000 post-menopausal women over a nine year span
The women who consumed two or more diet drinks per day were 30% more likely to experience a cardiovascular event and 50% more likely to die from related heart disease than women who never or rarely drank diet drinks.

By alienation is meant a mode of experience in which the person experiences himself as an alien. He has become, one might say, estranged from himself. He does not experience himself as the centre of his world, as the creator of his own acts - but his acts and their consequences have become his masters, whom he obeys, or whom he may even worship. The alienated person is out of touch with himself as he is out of touch with any other person.

Headed toward 3,000
Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2010
WYE MILLS Chesapeake College enrollment may reach 3,000 students this fall if current trends continue.
The Mid-Shore region´s community college, which starts its fall semester on August 23rd, opened Wednesday with 2,410 students enrolled for the fall. That total is 5.06 percent ahead of last year´s pace, when Chesapeake enrolled 2,856 students, a trend that would see the college enroll exactly 3,000 credit students this fall.
"While 3,000 is a nice, round number, that´s not really our goal," said Dr. Barbara Viniar, who is preparing for her third academic year as Chesapeake College´s president. "Our mission is providing the open access, academic programs and support services to ensure we are meeting the region´s post-secondary needs. That fact that enrollment continues to grow is an indicator that we are meeting the needs of an expanding student population."
The college is running even further ahead of last year´s pace in Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs), with 30 credit hours equating to one FTE. As of Wednesday morning, Chesapeake has registered 764.73 FTE, a 6.43 percent increase over the same point last summer. Between Fall 2004 and Fall 2009, Chesapeake´s FTE enrollment increased nearly 23 percent while setting new records each fall semester.
"We´ve had a long period of sustained enrollment growth," noted Dr. Richard Midcap, Chesapeake´s vice president for student success and enrollment services. "The interesting thing is that our growth continues to come predominantly from the same sources full-time, traditional-age students right out of high school."
Nearly 44 percent of the students currently registered for the fall semester are full-time students, compared to 39 percent last fall. Almost 60 percent are under the age of 23, matching the under-23 segment of last fall´s class, according to Midcap, who said the average age of Chesapeake´s students declined from 28 in 2002 to 25 last fall.
Chesapeake is also seeing an increased percentage of minority students. Currently, nearly 24 percent of the incoming class is composed of minority students, compared to 22 percent last fall.
The college has sustained enrollment increases with little or no growth among staff and faculty positions, noted Dr. Viniar.
"I´m proud that despite budget constraints we are continuing to serve more students," she said. "It´s a tribute to our faculty and staff who have taken on expanded workloads to help us meet community needs."
Fall registration will continue through the first week of classes. For more information, Midcap said individuals should visit the college´s website (www.chesapeake.edu) or call the college at (410) 822-5400, 758-1537, or 228-4360.

Man asks Zuma to help him buy a houseComment on this story
Johannesburg - The presidency on Thursday denied a news report that the government failed to help a man who had asked President Jacob Zuma to help him buy a house.
"It is unfortunate that Mr Mali has sought publicity using information he knows to be untrue," Zuma's spokesman Mac Maharaj said in a statement on Thursday morning, hours before the president was due to make hisState of the Nation address at the opening of Parliament.
The presidency was responding after Mzukisi Mali, from Grahamstown, told eNews the government had failed to assist him.
"In his communication to the president, Mr Mali said his salary was too high to qualify for an RDP house, and too low to get a mortgage bond," said Maharaj.
"But it was discovered that Mr Mali earned more than the R15 000 threshold, and had a negative credit record. He works as a deputy director at the department of labour and therefore does not qualify for this type of assistance which is meant for low income earners."
Maharaj said government officials had visited Mali twice to explain to him that he did not qualify. - Sapa

MannKind Falls Most in About a Year on Plan to Sell Shares
MannKind Corp., a biotechnology company with a diabetes drug in late-stage testing, fell the most in almost a year after saying it will sell more shares to raise money.
MannKind dropped 15 percent to $2.70 at the close in New York, the biggest decline since Feb. 11, 2011. The company will offer $50 million worth of units that consist of one share of MannKind and a warrant to purchase 0.6 percent of a second share, the Valencia, California-based drugmaker said today in a statement. Also planned are as much as $161 million of 7-year convertible notes to repay or repurchase debt, MannKind said in a regulatory filing.
"It's diluted financing," said Joshua Schimmer, an analyst with Leerink Swann in New York. "They had a $370 million proposed debt offering in September of last year, and instead of updating us on that, they're doing an equity offering which suggests that they weren't making enough progress."
MannKind's lead drug candidate, Afrezza, needs to complete the last phase of clinical trials, file for U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval and then be introduced in the market, Schimmer said. Unless MannKind can find a commercial partner, it would have to fund product's introduction, he said.
MannKind shares have fallen 43 percent in the past 12 months.

New Mac mini slated for Macworld?
updated 10:15 am EST, Tue December 16, 2008
Mac mini Macworld Rumor
Apple is preparing an update to the Mac mini that would launch at Macworld Expo, says a rumor floated by Wired late Monday. The magazine claims to have been contacted by a non-retail Apple employee who says the miniature desktop will be unveiled at the start of the event but allegedly declines to mention more for fear of being identified as a source. Apple itself hasn't commented on the subject and has only said that there would be no new hardware in 2008.
Separately, AppleInsider claims that the story supports things it has heard regarding the introduction but again doesn't add more beyond existing rumors.
Most beliefs regarding the Mac mini update have suggested it may be a major revision based on statements made by Apple regarding its future product line. The company at its MacBook event in October stated that it would expand the use of Mini DisplayPort to all its Macs and that it would also expand the use of NVIDIA's mainboard platform to more of its lineup, though the computer designer hasn't said to what degree this would take place. One server colocation firm has also implied that Apple will allow a twin hard drive option and that the mainboard will finally recognize more than 3GB of memory.
While it's uncertain whether any introductions will take place at Macworld, as Apple has yet to confirm a keynote for the show that would normally indicate a product unveiling. However, the Mac mini hasn't been updated in hardware since August 2007, when it was updated to include then previous-generation Core 2 Duo processors.

The University of New Hampshire men's hockey team is on its break, so with no game to preview for this weekend, it's appropriate to take a look back at what's happened to this point. In short: Oy vey. A dramatic 7-4 win road win over Maine eased what could have been serious holiday blues, but there's no hiding the fact that the first half has been a disappointment for the Wildcats. Struggles this year were not unforeseen; with the losses UNH endured this past offseason,
The University of New Hampshire hockey team is in desperate need of a spark, and normally this would be the last weekend it could expect to get one. Boston College isn't what it's been in recent years, however. The Eagles have won three national championships and four Hockey East titles since 2008, but are scuffling through a lukewarm season in which they are having trouble finding the net and playing at a .500 clip (7-7-0, 3-4-0). They're ranked 17th in the country, but they're not

The University of New Hampshire hockey team has a chance to climb back to .500 both overall and in Hockey East when it faces Northeastern in Durham tonight and in Boston tomorrow. The Wildcats are 3-5, with an 0-2 record in conference after losses to UMass Lowell, while the Huskies are still looking for their first win at 0-7-1 (0-3-1 in Hockey East). Here are a few tidbits from the midweek media conference from Coach Dick Umile and some of his players. ∎ Wildcats stress matching

This week in the High School Spotlight, it's Ivan Niyomugabo. Ivan, the junior quarterback for the upstart Merrimack Valley football team, has shined this season and helped take a team from a 14-game losing streak to reaching the playoffs for the first time in the team's 12-year history. Ivan credits his teammates for the success, but he can't do without chicken alfredo. Haven't met him? Chances are you'll be able to catch him at Buffalo Wild Wings chowing down on some mango habanero wings.
You had to flip through a little bit of history to get a sense for how UNH has fared recently against its previous three opponents: out-of-conference foes Minnesota, Michigan and Rensselaer. Not the case this time. The Wildcats know UMass Lowell well. And the memories aren't too fond for UNH. The last time these two teams played was a tough moment for the Wildcats, as the River Hawks ended their season with a 2-0 win in the NCAA regionals. UNH had beaten UMass Lowell all
A tough start for the UNH men's hockey team has already earned a dubious distinction, as the Wildcats fell out of the USCHO top 20 yesterday after a 4-2 loss to Rensselaer, which dropped them to 1-3-1 for the young season. While not a disaster, it is still a surprising development for a UNH team that had the No. 1 ranking at one point last year and spent the majority of the season ranked in the top 10, and that has most of its impact
This week in the High School Spotlight, it's Austin Haddock. Austin, a Belmont senior, moved forward midway through his senior season after playing defense after the team had a slow start. He helped lead Belmont back to the playoffs this year despite losing most of the starting lineup after last year's championship season. He credits his dad for sparking his love for the game, likes math class, and to him, there's nothing better than enjoying a nice juicy steak. Concord Monitor: You guys were undefeated
The Wildcats' tough out-of-conference schedule continues this weekend, as one weekend after a pair of games against No. 4 Michigan, No. 13 UNH will travel to face No. 12 Rensselaer on Saturday night, the team's only game of the weekend. Though the Engineers (3-1) aren't a conference foe, there's a degree of familiarity with them for many of the Wildcats. UNH beat Rensselaer last January, 5-2, getting goals from five different players, including three (Jeff Silengo, Justin Agosta and Eric Knodel) who are still on
This week in the High School Spotlight, it's Lauren Bolstridge. Lauren, a Winnisquam freshman, has scored a ton of goals as a forward for the field hockey team, has a flair for science and thinks any kind of sandwich is a good sandwich. Concord Monitor: What was it like learning that you'd be a freshman on the varsity field hockey squad? Lauren Bolstridge: I was really intimidated by everybody, and I was always really nervous for every game and practice. I'm always really quiet, but
Dick Umile said before the season that he planned on using goalie Jeff Wyer more this year. If the first three games are any indication, the UNH hockey coach meant every word. The Wildcats took the ice against No. 5 Michigan last night with Wyer, the backup last year, in net. It was his second start in UNH's three games this year and he performed well against a potent Wolverines offense, stopping 17 of the 18 shots he faced as the teams skated to a

This week in the High School Spotlight, it's Dade Perron. Dade, a freshman at Merrimack Valley, has come back from brain surgery earlier this year to run on the cross country team. Concord Monitor: What's your favorite part about running a race?

When Vince Wilfork went down with a season-ending Achilles injury two weeks ago, there was concern the New England defense would crumble without its massive nose tackle foundation. Instead, the Patriots submitted two solid defensive performances with rookies Joe Vellano and Chris Jones filling in for Wilfork. The foundation took another huge blow last Sunday when linebacker Jerod Mayo was lost for the season with a torn pectoral muscle. New England has good depth at linebacker in four-year veteran Dane Fletcher and rookie Jamie Collins,

The UNH men's hockey team makes its home debut this weekend – and the fans in Durham will see their team face a stiff challenge. The No. 13 Wildcats face off against No. 5 Michigan, battling the Wolverines in a pair of games at the Whittemore Center. Michigan notched an impressive start to its season, going 2-0 by defeating RPI, 7-4, then topping then-No. 4 Boston College, 3-1. UNH's opening weekend yielded a 1-1 result, with the Wildcats beating Clarkson, 4-1, before losing to No.
It's early, very early, but the University of New Hampshire football team finds itself in a precarious position. The No. 19/18 Wildcats are sitting at 1-2 and a third loss would essentially eliminate their margin error for the rest of the season if they want to reach the FCS playoffs for a 10th straight year. Unitas Stadium in Baltimore is just about the last place a team looking to avoid a loss wants to be, but that's exactly where UNH will find itself on Saturday
From Monitor staff reports
Here are some of the more interesting questions and answers from Tuesday's press conferences with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick as they prepare for Sunday's game against Cincinnati. ∎ Brady Q: This (Cincinnati) defense is pretty highly regarded and they've got a lot of first round picks in the front and back ends. TB: Yeah, they can rush the quarterback. They have guys at all four spots that can rush and then when they bring the backups in, those guys rush. It's really unique in that

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) describes the amount of revenue or profit a customer generates over his or her entire lifetime.
Many retailers optimize their customer acquisition strategies by trying to minimize how much they spend to acquire each customer ("cost per acquisition" or CAC"). When you understand the lifetime value of different customers, however, you can optimize more effectively for the long run. Rather than simply optimizing for CAC, you can look at the difference between CAC and CLV. After all, if one customer is 10x more valuable than another, it's certainly worth spending a little more to acquire him!
Retailers often refer to two forms of lifetime value analysis:
Historical lifetime value simply sums up revenue or profit per customer.
Predictive lifetime value projects what new customers will spend over their entire lifetime.
If you're interested in using CLV to help optimize your advertising campaigns, you likely are more interested in predictive CLV analysis. For example, imagine you're interested in optimizing your adwords spending by looking at both the cost per conversion along with the CLV of customers from a given campaign.
With historical CLV analysis, you'll need to wait a couple years to know the CLV of those customers. With predictive CLV analysis, you'll know the long-term value of those new customers right away.
Of course, predictive CLV is only useful in so far as the projections are accurate!
CLV calculations vary wildly based on methodology. After all, the metric is a complex one to calculate - it includes not only the profits obtained so far from a customer, but expected profits in the future as well.
For this reason, it is important to "test" the metric. If we predict a customer will be worth $X in a year, we can check up on that and see how well the numbers perform.
Over the past five years, academics have made profound strides in calculating lifetime value. Newer algorithms utilize the latest Bayesian probabilistic theories.
These new approaches of modeling recognize that all customers are different - and it is this recognition of what academics call "customer heterogeneity" that makes all the difference.
At a high level, the models work as follows:
We've run CLV numbers on millions and millions of customers, and we constantly test how our projections hold up.
Here we compare how three approaches to calculate CLV stand the test of time:
Every business is unique, but the graph on the right is an example of a story we see frequently. On a consistent basis, our CLV numbers have margins of error significantly lower than those obtained from other methodologies.
CLV is the metric at the heart of our marketing platform. We take pride in pushing the field of predictive customer modeling forward. We take care of the PhD-powered analytics on our side, so you can launch actions on our platform and optimize around timely, accurate CLV numbers.

Gabrielle Walters; Undergraduate Student
Growing up I saw myself as many things and geologist was one of them; I was always collecting rocks and wondering about volcanoes. But somewhere along the road of growing up I forgot about my passion and decided to follow one of my other interests by majoring in German with a minor in politics. During junior year I felt rather lost and was very unsure about my future so I dropped my political science class, started taking guitar, and by the following year I finally listened to my heart and took Mineralogy. I was in love and I found my calling.
- Hometown/High School?
Waukesha, WI/ Waukesha South High School
- Year in School and expected graduation date?
Senior and I'll be graduating in May 2013!
- What brought you to UWM?
The wide range of subjects UWM offers and being able to stay close to my family.
- What convinced you to major in Geosciences?
I'm minoring in Geosciences, which I only did because I didn't have the time to major in it. I felt that this was the path I had to follow when I kept catching myself staring at rocks around campus and wondering what minerals were in them.
- What field of study would you like to go into and how would you describe it to a prospective student?
I'm really interested in Mineralogy and Volcanology. I don't know too much about volcanology yet, but I hope to. What I would really like to do is focus on alterations of minerals within the realm of volcanology. I am specifically interested in looking at mineral alterations from the gases that fumaroles emit as well certain mineralogy aspects of volcanoes.
- What's been your best experience so far?
My best experience so far has been the trip I took recently to Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. I got a little taste of what my future may look like by hiking through the park and collecting samples from fumaroles to see what kind of alterations the fumaroles can provide. I was also able to go spelunking for the first time and climbed a dormant volcano. I loved it!
- Have you gotten the opportunity to participate in field trips, field work, or travel as part of your education?
Yes! I've been to Upper Michigan a couple times for field trips like mineralogy and petrology; mineralogy was my favorite. I loved being able to be on my own and collect beautiful mineral samples.
- Have you gotten the opportunity to participate in a student research project while at UWM?
Yes, last spring I took an x-ray analysis course where everyone had to work on their own project for the duration of the class. I was able to work with PhD student Teri Gerard on her samples from Hawaii. My focus was doing x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) on ten samples that Teri collected from fumaroles at the Kilauea Iki crater. The Kilauea Iki crater is at the summit of the Kilauea volcano on the island of Hawaii. My goal was to find the direction of alteration in relation to the distance from the fumaroles. I was lucky enough to get an answer from my research by obtaining mineral data from XRD and elemental data from XRF. However, I am still hoping to do more research by concentrating on only sulfur content to see if sulfur concentrations correlate to the mineral alterations and their distances from the fumaroles.
- What trait or thing has allowed you to succeed in geology?
I guess being open to whatever came my way. I didn't really get into the program until last fall, and by that point I was so excited to just finally be a part of the program that I was open to trying everything. I immediately joined geo club and by spring I was coming in on the weekends to spend time in the lab. Then in summer I was lucky enough to help Teri Gerard in the XRD lab with her research.
- How would you describe the Department of Geosciences at UWM to a prospective student?
The department is very welcoming and open to helping students succeed. They don't hold your hand by any means, you have to figure things out on your own, but they make sure you know what you're doing. It is definitely the place where I feel at home on campus.
- Do you have any advice that you would give to a student who is new to the Geoscience major at UWM?
Get involved and don't be afraid to do things by yourself! I am a German major, so there are a lot of things I haven't been able to go to due to the timing of my other classes, but I go to whatever I can. I also don't have the same background as everyone else so there are certain things, such as chemistry, that I need more help in but the rest of the time I cherish working on my own to push myself to learn new things on my own.
- What do you most enjoy about Milwaukee?
I am a big nature person so I tend to walk around the city for hours when I can. Depending on where I am headed and which route I take, I always find something new.
- What are your plans after you graduate?
I'm hoping to go to field camp in the summer and then to grad school for geology, with a focus on mineralogy and/or volcanology in the fall.

Topic: Disana sizing question
Posted: 25 Apr 2012 at 9:10am
I want to get a Disana wool soaker but I am having a hard time figuring out the sizing. I have been looking at GMD and the Disana sizes are so far off from Karen's recommendations I don't know which to get. I want to get one to use at night for when my LO starts sleeping a little bit longer and not needing a diaper change every hour and possibly to use every once and a while during the day for some air time. Which do you recommend the small or the medium?

I love Disana soakers!! I would go with Medium, but my LO's tend to grow pretty fast so by the time they are not needing to be changed through the night they are already 12 - 15#'s or so. (my rule for not needing to be changed through the night is when they stop pooping all.the.time, since at night I only change if dirty. My older 2 were around 6 weeks, my youngest was closer to 10 weeks old when that happened). I also don't mind it being a bit big for fit. During the day I never put them under clothes and at night I always sized up for PJ's so that their night fluff and wool soaker could fit.
It will arrive and look HUGE but it felts (shrinks) down a bit. YDS has been in a large since he was about 18#'s but I purchased it gently used so it was felted. I also have some xlarges (the biggest size) and my older son can wear them at night and he is 45#'s - but I didn't really felt them at all so they are still really stretchy.

My DS has a medium and has been wearing it since he was about 9 months (when I got it). DD has a large and she's kinda on the small side for a three year old (26lbs). Ds is 15months now and 22lbs. They are really stretchy so if you did get a medium you have a lot of play room.

My DS wears a medium - he is 8 months and 21 pounds. He has been in it since he was like 4 months and 15 pounds though. there is a lot of play in it - especially if you leave it unfelted like I did. I'd say go for the bigger of the sizes you are considering. Then again, they have excellent resale value, so if you do get a small, you will be able to sell it to finance the medium later.

I have been using a medium since my baby was 4 months or so...it pulls up to her chest and is really roomy, but since we only use it at night, I don't mind the Erkel fit. It has naturally felted into my most bulletproof night cover, and I expect it to fit for a while.

I would say air on the larger size. DS has some and although they are roomy they still fit fantastic. They can fit bigger and still work. They are awesome!! You'll love them. They do felt up in the crotch just from wear.

Kohn, Walter (1923-) is an Austrian-born American physicist most noted for his investigations into the electronic structure of solid-state matter. His contributions have led to major advancements in the areas of superconductivity, semiconductors, and surface physics. Kohn shared the 1998 Nobel Prize in chemistry with the British chemist John Anthony Pople for their studies of the properties of molecules and the chemical processes involving molecules.
During World War II (1939–1945), Kohn and his sister immigrated to Britain to escape the Nazis. He was interned there and in 1940 sent to Canada, where he completed his B.A. and M.A. degrees at the University of Toronto. After receiving his Ph.D. degree in physics from Harvard University, Kohn taught there and then at the Carnegie Mellon Institute of Technology. He then served as professor of physics and as department head at various branches of the University of California, most recently at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In 1979, the National Science Foundation established the National Institute of Theoretical Physics at Santa Barbara, appointing Kohn its founding director. Under his direction, the institute has attracted leading physicists and now serves as the outstanding model for other facilities of its kind.
Kohn has spent his long career studying the characteristic structure and interactions of electrons in solid-state matter, especially the electronic structure of metals, and his achievements include significant advances in surface physics, the physics of semiconductors, and superconductivity. Kohn was awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize in chemistry for developing the density functional theory (DFT), which is used for electronic materials science. DFT is a mathematical method with simplified calculations that enable scientists in numerous disciplines to approach the study of the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, and solid matter in practical new ways. It describes the ground state properties of such things as semiconductors, insulators, and metals. Kohn retired from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 1991 and now holds the title of emeritus professor there.

Final 30 Selected for 2013 Barclays Ball Kids Squad for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals
Thirty 12-16 year olds have been selected from over 1,500 applicants to become the Barclays Ball Kids for 2013; where they will appear on court with the likes of Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Roger Federer at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals at The O2 in November 2013.
The final selection took place at Northwood Health & Racquets club in London at the weekend, where over 100 finalists took the stage for the Barclays Ball Kids National Trial, the culmination of 14 regional trials all over the UK.
Please check the video: 130415_Barclays_BallKids_National_Trials_Newsfeed.wmv
The programme is part of Barclays sponsorship of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals and offers a unique opportunity for youngsters to gain a variety of life skills both on and off the court such as respect, reliability, determination, confidence and team work. The opportunity is open to all kids – regardless of their background or tennis ability.
All finalists were put through their paces in a high intensity six-hour trial which also saw them being tested on a range of athletic skills including agility, endurance, co-ordination, ball skills, balance and speed. Throughout the day, the kids also had the chance to pick up some top tips from Andy Murray's former coach Mark Petchey, as well as former world number one Boris Becker.
Boris Becker said: "By the end of the day the selectors had some serious work to do to choose the best 30 Barclays Ball Kids. For those who have been selected it's a great opportunity for them to get involved in the very best in tennis. Sport is about teamwork, about concentration, about having a goal and being a unit to reach that goal. The earlier you learn that the better it is for the rest of your life."
David Wheldon, Barclays Managing Director of Brand, Reputation and Citizenship, said: "Over the last few years we have seen more than 5,000 kids come through the Barclays Ball Kids' programme. Whilst I would like to congratulate the final 30, our ambition is to make sure that all those who have participated, even if for only one day, can take away benefits and skills. Next year as part of our Barclays Life Skills programme, which aims to help one million under 16s with developing employability skills by 2015, we hope to work with many more kids to help them with new skills whilst taking part in an experience they will never forget."
The final 30 chosen by the Barclays Ball Kids Talent ID Team are: Adam Ashton, Asha Badiani, Oscar Bartlett, Jared Bones, Olivia Crowhurst, Kaine Dowden, Hannah Ferrett, Jack Hadley, Emma Hancock, George Hart, Alice Hill, Raia Jagger, Tijan Lambert, Henry Lidington, Joanna Minnis, Thomas Morris, Jose Pegorini, Daisy Phillips, Georgina Post, David Quayle, Eden Richardson, Jennifer Shaw, Olivia Sofroniou, Gemma Southwick, Alex Spencer, India Taylor, Joanna Tomlinson, Elliot Walker, Maxim Wallace, Maryam Williams

Much like Zecora a while back, it looks like Hoity Toity has popped up on Ebay. While we can't confirm that it is real yet, all sources point to it definitely being legit. Everything about it matches the other blind bag collectables.
My guess this time around would be it being a part of the Rarity set. Maybe we will see a Photo Finish pick up the third slot?
You can check it out on Ebay here!

Looking for a family friendly activity this weekend? Learn, and have fun at Lake Red Rock with two events on the schedule for all ages. Tonight at 8pm, learn about the town of Red Rock and how the dam sealed their fate, instead of saving their community. For the more adventurous types, Park Ranger Tracy Spry suggests the pond exploration tour tomorrow at 1p.m. that involves mucking at one of the lake area's wetlands. Mucking can be messy, so old shoes and clothes are suggested. For a full list of lake events, go to RedRockAssociation.org

Barn owls
Barn owls were thriving in spring, with broods of up to seven babies reported by Barn Owl Trust volunteers. But this changed during the June rains. "Barn owls can't fly silently with wet wings," explains the Trust's David Ramsden. "This means mice and voles can hear them coming." After the rains, starving and dead baby barn owls were being found in nests. However, late-summer dry weather and field vole prey thriving in lush grass growth, may have boosted breeding.
How to help
Leave an area of grass to grow long so small mammals can eat, nest and shelter. Barn owls forage over a wide area and rural back gardens can readily form part of their home range. For more information visit barnowltrust.org.uk.Picture: ALAMY

Isaacson rebuffs lawyers' attempt to obtain notes on Jobs
updated 02:22 am EDT, Tue July 31, 2012
Attorney for author says plaintiffs on a fishing expedition
Steve Jobs' biographer Walter Isaacson will not have to turn over notes as possible evidence in the case of a class-action lawsuit filed by lawyers allegedly representing unnamed "consumers" said to have been "harmed" by Apple's alleged e-book price-fixing conspiracy, a court has ruled. Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP have had their attempt to force Isaacson to turn over notes related to a portion of a quote in Jobs' biography rebuffed by Judge Denise Cote.
Cote, who has previously expressed opinions that indicate that she believes Apple to have conspired with other publishers to raise e-book prices, agreed with Isaacson's attorney Elizabeth McNamera that Isaacson did not have to hand over source materials used due to reporter's privilege, and because Isaacson through his attorney told the court that none of the taped recordings with Jobs discuss e-book pricing.
The case, which is separate from a similar federal case being prosecuted by the Department of Justice and a parallel case involving 31 states, alleges that Apple and the five major publishers conspired to break the Amazon near-monopoly on e-book pricing (the "wholesale model") by adopting the so-called "agency model." In the latter system, the publisher sets the suggested retail price, and the distributor (in this case Apple) gets a cut, generally at or above 30 percent. In the former system, the distributor (in this case Amazon) buys books at a discounted rate, and sets its own price (which can be at a loss).
The agency model has been the standard for booksellers long before e-books arrived on the scene, while the wholesale model (also used by "big-box" stores like Wal-Mart) has been seen to put ever-increasing downward pressure on prices, which eventually drives smaller suppliers out of business or forces them to relocate production to foreign countries where production costs are lower.
Apple's decision (and eventual persuasion of other publishers) to use the agency model for e-book pricing is seen by some as a conspiracy to raise prices or block Amazon -- which had a monopoly on e-book selling at the time -- from selling e-books at a loss in a move to drive out competitors. Jobs himself indicated that consumers would have pay "a little more" for e-books under the agency model, but Apple has vigorously denied any conspiracy, and said that without the agency model not only would Amazon (which has been known to publishers as "a bully" in negotiations) have a monopoly which would be harmful to consumers, but that most smaller publishers would be driven out by the price pressure of competing with entities that could afford at least a short-term loss, reducing options and consolidating the publishing industry, again to the detriment of consumers.
The plaintiffs in this case could try again, Judge Cote ruled, "when it can show that it meets the test for disclosure of nonconfidential material." The test the judge refers to is very difficult; plaintiffs would have to prove or at least provide a convincing case that Isaacson's notes are likely to be highly relevant and necessary to the case, in spite of Isaacson's denial. For his part, Isaacson said that he is willing only to authenticate quotes that appeared in the published biography itself.
Since Apple (and shortly afterwards, others such as Sony and Barnes & Noble) launched its own e-bookstore and adopted the agency model, Amazon's share of the e-book market has fallen from over 90 percent to around 60 percent, with several options for readers beyond the iBookstore and Amazon's Kindle store. Average e-book prices have risen slightly, but the market has grown tremendously.
Three of the five major publishers have since accepted a settlement offer from the DOJ that forces them to abandon the agency model, but the formal agreement is still being hammered out and should appear later this summer. The federal trial between the DOJ and Apple, MacMillan and Penguin is scheduled to begin next summer, in June of 2013. The late start date is the work of the DOJ, which claims it needed nearly a year to gather evidence of the conspiracy from the wide range of executives allegedly involved. All five publishers along with Apple are named in the class-action suit before Judge Cote. [via Publisher's Weekly]

Truthfully, you can't get good in just a couple mohnts or less. It definitely takes practice. However, having a soccer goal helps. What you can do is find cones, hell, even sticks, and weave through them to practice dribbling. Juggling DOES help, though you shouldn't solely concentrate on that. What a good high school coach will typically judge you on is your first touch, and ability to move/pass the ball. Otherwise known as ball control. To improve first touch, kick a ball at a wall and settle it. Repeat that for a while. To improve ball control, do the sticks/cones thing. Also remember, find a friend who might want to play with you! Friends can really help with anything, and they'll keep giving you competition.

Spend 20 minutes once a week picking up trash

It really saddens me that litter is still an issue. I think at minimum I can spend 20 minutes of my week picking up trash in a park/common space/ neighborhood. A cleaner environment helps everyone! Maybe while I am picking up trash others will join me, even if that only means that they pick up one bottle to recycle. Every little step makes a difference.

Smog Insurance China's Latest Air Pollution Band-Aid
Written by Owen Guo On 21 March 2014 @ 1:39 am | 1 Comment
In China, Chinese, Citizen Media, East Asia, English, Environment, Governance, Human Rights, Politics
In China, air purifiers and masks seem to offer little consolation to a citizenry often galvanised by periodic outbreaks of air pollution. Now, helping people fight the toxic air is state-owned insurance company Ping An, which promises [1] to pay out claims to policy holders when air pollution index exceeds set levels.
Smog insurance, the first of its kind, is targeting travelers and local residents of seven cities. Some of the designated cities, including Beijing and Shijiazhuang, have been plagued by smog for years.
Under the scheme, policy holders in Beijing can receive up to 1500 yuan (about 240 US dollars) worth of compensation should they be hospitalised due to the smog. In Beijing, when the Air Quality Index (AQI) exceeds 300 for five straight days – a level considered hazardous – insurance buyers can receive [2] 300 yuan (about 48 US dollars). AQI measures pollutants such as fine particles and sulfur dioxide.
Free lung checks or otolaryngological tests are also offered when AQI runs above 300 for seven days in a row. The company also proudly claimed on its website that if the AQI goes off the charts, policyholders can win free trips to Hainan, a tropical island often dubbed as China's Hawaii, to "clean their lungs".
The announcement of the insurance policy came weeks after Chinese authorities admitted [3] that only three cities in China met national air quality standards.
The magnitude of air pollution was laid bare by Premier Li Keqiang's maiden report to this year's National People's Congress, as the Chinese parliament is called, in which he declared [4]war on air pollution.
Most Chinese responded to the insurance with skepticism.
Bingren Kemilu questioned [5] on the popular microblogging site Sina Weibo:
冰人_可米陸 : 但愿不是什么噱头
I hope this is not some gimmick.
Shen Pinglunyuan wrote [6]:
如何诊断是雾霾引起的?这将肯定有争议,想得到保险理赔, 谈何容易。
How can we determine if [certain diseases] are caused by the smog? There must be a lot of controversy, it won't be easy to get the claims.
"70s version Xu Wenqiang" wasn't [7] buying the idea at all:
70版许文强 [8]:博眼球而已,完全可以找空气好的线路
It's just something to grab attention, [tourists] can find travel routes with good air.
"Nuli Caishi Wangdao 1997″ wrote [9]:
努力才是王道1997 [10]:如果真的有这个保险并且不是特别贵的话,是会考虑一下的,这毕竟可以为我们的健康买下一份保障
If such insurance indeed exists and doesn't cost much, I will consider it. After all, we can buy insurance for our health.
"Forever_RickyQ [11]" argued:
It's just a gimmick from the insurance company. Can we really be spared troubles if we buy smog insurance? This cures the symptoms but not the root cause. The key is the management of smog itself. It's just a formalism that students get school breaks during smoggy days. Only when the government spends more energy on pollution management can we really make the environment better

China's pro League of Legends scene got back to being focused on the game this weekend as the regular summer season kicked off (if you missed the English livestream of any of the matches, check out the VODs here). But with Invictus Gaming and Star Horn having added Korean players and Team WE having added a Korean coach this split, lots of people are talking about 'the Korean invasion.' Is this actually a good thing for Chinese League of Legends?
For the moment, at least, I think it is. There's no arguing that the Chinese scene is weaker than the Korean scene when it comes to League. There's just no way around that simple fact. But if China is ever going to catch up to Korea, Chinese players will need more exposure to Korean teams and players than they get from the occasional match ups they get in international tournaments and playing soloqueue on Korean servers. Playing with and against Korean pros in the LPL will give Chinese players an opportunity to see how they operate firsthand, in terms of everything from their in-game strategies and mechanics to their overall work ethic and habits.
At the same time, having Koreans in the scene should hopefully help China's more nationalist fans (and let's be honest, a few of its players, too) get over their anti-Korean prejudice. China's desire to beat Korean teams is productive in the sense that it helps push every team to do better, but it shouldn't be based on prejudice and jingoism. As Korean players play for Chinese teams, they'll win Chinese fans and hopefully help cool some of the anti-Korean nonsense.
(See: 'If Team WE gets a Korean player, I'll stop watching': Chinese fans rant about WE's new Korean talent)
That said, the Korean invasion can only have a positive effect up to a certain point. If Chinese teams replace all their players with Korean pros, it might mean that OMG and EDG do better in Worlds, but it will also mean that domestic players have even fewer chances to improve their skills and to compete at the highest levels.
Suggesting that just because a few Korean players have come to China means many more will is a fallacy, so don't get your pitchforks just yet. But if the trend continues or accelerates, China's eSports regulatory organization ACE may want to consider capping the number of foreign players a team can have to ensure that domestic players still have opportunities to develop. (China's domestic basketball and soccer leagues already have similar rules).
For now, though, I think the so-called Korean invasion can only be a good thing. Certainly, with all the roster shake-ups this LPL season is already looking like it'll be more interesting and less one-sided than last year's. I can't wait to see how the rest of the summer plays out.
But what do you think? Is the Korean invasion good for China, or for the other domestic scenes where Korean players are popping up?
