Climbing Back Up the Cliff After a Fall: TPGI
Diversified real estate holder Thomas Properties Group Inc (NASDAQ: TPGI) really had an awful August, plummeting 28% this month as REITs and real estate companies really 'took it on the chin' during the broader markets decline. The question posed is can the stock make up that loss as the market recovers? I think it can and here's why…
First of all to be clear; Thomas Properties Group Inc (NASDAQ: TPGI) is not a REIT. With that said, I think any real estate proposition is a Long-Term play and speculators need to stay on the sidelines. From a contrarian point of view, which I often like to take, I think real estate companies flow up with the market and when the bears come out; gold flows up, and now apparently copper and diamonds too.
I like this Company and think it undervalued by at least $1 in share valuation currently. One thing I like is its diversity. If you look at its portfolio you'll find Thomas Properties Group Inc (NASDAQ: TPGI) owns a lot of apartments and rentable space in addition to commercial properties and parking lots. Any homebuilder will tell you that for the foreseeable future: apartments are the way to go for new construction.
The other thing I like is the regional 'hedge' the Company has going: its properties are in Pennsylvania, Texas, California, and Virginia. When one region suffers economically more than another, geographic diversity becomes the balancing factor to the bottom line.
The shares have traded most of 2011 between $3 and $4.25, with normal dips and spikes and there are very few short sellers to apply any downward pressure. The stock is currently trading in the $2.77 range after the broader market bloodletting and that's a very 'Attractive' entry level price for new buyer. I' sure faithful shareholders are aggregating to hedge their positions.
The shares may not rise back to August first levels as fast as they fell, it may be an 'immediate' play, six weeks, but if the bulls can corner the markets in the months ahead, it will be good news for Thomas Properties Group Inc (NASDAQ: TPGI).Tags: TPGI
Is the Dip Over and the Rally On? TNGN, SUPG, SBCF
The following three companies, Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (NASDAQ: SBCF), SuperGen Inc (NASDAQ: SUPG), and Tengion Inc (NASDAQ: TNGN) have all posted gains in the last few sessions and appear ready to retake lost territory…
… just a reminder; a little profit taking during a bounce back is normal…
Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida started July climbing up from $1.50, past $1.65, testing $1.75, and then plummeting back to $1.50, before moving up again to its current $1.62 price. Quite the ride for Shareholders in the last five weeks.
A pretty good, but not stellar Q2 was the catalyst for all the motion. Well that's all over now and the stock is on the move: Up. Considering its strength in testing $1.75, I think the rally is on and the shares, absent of any earth-shattering news, will retest that higher price and take, and hold it in the immediate term (6 weeks). Not many short sellers here to prevent some gains.
At Tengion Inc, the regenerative organ and tissue concern, any move up to constitute is going to be in small, incremental steps, but that doesn't negate a rally, only makes it much more subtle in form over time. The stock was trading in the $1 range both athe beginning of June and the beginning of July, its obvious 'bottom' and slowly, but steadily moved up in July to its current $1.34 range, a gain of 34% in four weeks.
I think the rally is on at Tengion Inc. This was a $2.75 stock in May; it has a number to return too… Sr. Management changes in June and virtually no short sellers can sustain a rally and in the near term (3 mos) turn it into a surge.
The story at SuperGen Inc is completely different… the pharmaceutical concern, with a long list of drug candidates in the pipeline, has topped a plateau as I see it and question is: can it hold its ground. The stock was trading in the $2.80 range in late June, and in some very choppy trading fraught with little dips and spikes, the stock has managed its way to its current $3.08 price, a gain of 10% in five weeks.
With only the normal numbers of short sellers to apply any downward pressure and positive sales and EPS projections quarter over quarter; I think the rally is on here though it may be 'two wins here and one loss there' in weekly trading sessions.

Two Out of Three Isn't Bad: CXM, GRAN, and AMRN Poked and ProddedThe broad market's getting trashed, yet a handful of small cap stocks are still making gains. Gotta love it, though I'm still not sure I'd be buying blindly here. In any case, here's a better look at Bank of Granite Corporation (NASDAQ: GRAN), Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ: AMRN), and Cardium Therapeutics Inc. (AMEX: CXM), two of which are those winners I was talking about, and the third..... well....
Let's just start with the bad news - it may have been a good run for Amarin Corporation plc, but the weight of all those gains has finally started to take a big toll. AMRN shares fell under their 100-day moving average line today, and simultaneously fell under a floor (orange) at $13.46.
Were it not for the big gap between $8.80 and $14.20, we could almost dismiss what this chart was suggesting was in store here. There's just a little too much downside risk to ignore with Amarin Corporation now though, so we won't. The Fibonacci lines as well as prior floors/ceilings agree that there's a meaningful landing spot for AMRN around $8.00.
As for today's amazing small cap stocks that are actually moving higher, let's start with Cardium Therapeutics Inc. This medical technology name is up by 9.2%, with plenty of room to run after getting trounces for the better part of the year. Oh, and if the name rings a bell, it may be because I pointed it out a high-odds reversal candidate last week after the selloff went berserk and this small cap made a sharp - too sharp - plunge to $0.20. Sure enough...
If you didn't get in on my advice then though, don't sweat it. CXM is still going strong, and doing so on higher volume. And as the chart clearly shows, there's still room for Cardium Therapeutics shares to move before even the first headwind is hit. Don't overthink this one.
Finally, though it's still not caught much attention for the move, Bank of Granite Corporation is actually one of the market's biggest winners from the universe of small cap stocks. GRAN is ahead by 19%, and yes, there's some big volume behind the move.
That being said, this size move may be a little more heat than GRAN can handle... it's not exactly one of those 'regularly explosive' small caps with that kind of following. . In other words, you don't have to step in today. My only point was to point it out, since nobody else has. Ideally, Bank of Granite will consolidate around current prices and build a base from which to launch the move above $0.95.

After conducting surveys of outfitters and their customers around the world, Kitty Hawk Kites has been named one of 105 named "Best Outfitters on Earth" by National Geographic Adventure magazine. National Geographic Adventure magazine was launched eight years ago and circulates to more than 600,000 consumers. To be considered, the score from the customer surveys needed to exceed 80 percent. According to a representative with National Geographic Adventure, Kitty Hawk Kites ranked far above the 80 percent required.
To qualify, Kitty Hawk Kites, as well as other outfitters, filled out a questionnaire based on four categories: education and interpretation; sustainable-travel practices; quality of service; and spirit of adventure. After the questionnaires were evaluated, Kitty Hawk Kites had to provide National Geographic Adventure's researchers with customers from around the world. The customer surveys determined who would be listed in the Top 105 Best Outfitters on Earth.
Kitty Hawk Kites has thirteen locations on the Outer Banks and was founded in 1974 by John Harris, a pioneer in hang gliding, to provide instruction, products, and service; also offering kite boarding instruction, kayak eco tours, parasailing and many other adventures.

Today more than ever, we need to get out and see what the rest of the world is up to, and maybe even do what we can to dispel the stereotype that Americans make spoiled, incurious tourists. Certainly, it's good to learn as you go (you can hardly help doing so), but to show respect for your hosts, it's even better to learn before you go. These guidebooks and travel narratives will set you off in the right direction.
The very name of Zanzibar prompts exotic imaginings. In the Rough Guide to Zanzibar, author Jens Finke provides an intelligent, succinct introduction to this long-troubled archipelago, which explorer David Livingstone half of that famed "I presume" encounter described as "an elusive place where nothing is as it seems." While outlining the islands' tragic history as a prominent slave trading post right up until 1897, Finke also elucidates its rich Islamic culture and explores its enduring pleasures, such as the mama lishas "literally, feeding ladies'" who dish out "Zanzibari pizzas" (stuffed chapatis) and fresh-grilled seafood at sunset at the Forodhani Gardens, an open-air market within the labyrinthine maze that is historic Stone Town. Complaining that Unguja Island's northeast coast has been "swamped by monstrous, all-inclusive package resorts" (it's always reassuring to encounter a guidebook author willing to take a stand against homogenizing over-development), he steers visitors instead to such treasures as the Chumbe Island Eco-Lodge near a protected coral park.
This pocketable guide is essentially an out-take from Finke's full-size Rough Guide to Tanzania, a work of staggering breadth and detail. Other areas recently added to the Rough Guides series are the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Bolivia and Cambodia. Offering deep background as well as practical pointers for travelers of every budget level, the series, initiated in 1982, isn't just for backpackers anymore: the 200-plus titles are certain to suit anyone seeking a more meaningful experience abroad.
Fodor's Gold Guides, though less attitudinal than the Roughs (they'll list Holiday Inns alongside tiny pensions, in a bid for universal appeal), have begun to reflect a growing intercultural sensitivity as well. The introduction to the first edition of Central America includes the directive "Walk lightly, with a sense of humility, and try not to disturb the cultures and landscapes that brought you to Central America in the first place." The warning, and publication, couldn't be timelier, given that the area finally recovering from centuries of political strife experienced a 69 percent jump in tourism between 1994 and 1999. Thirteen knowledgeable residents and/or frequent visitors contributed to this compendium covering seven countries. They'll tell you why Panama is better for white-water river rafting than Costa Rica (less overrun), and where you can enjoy a bioluminescent nighttime dip in Belize.
It's odd to see the Time Out guides 40-plus offshoots of the hip London and New York City listing magazines assaying Patagonia, which would seem to be the very antithesis of urban chic. But perhaps not for long, what with jetsetters like Ted Turner snapping up estancias. This exhaustive compendium, set in crisp if tiny type, is packed with insider information: not just where to pursue 30-inch rainbow trout and view glaciers "calving" with a sonic crack, but how to tap into "gay Patagonia" (yes, it exists) and why you should be very careful when inquiring about preservatives in your food. Also new to the series are books on Andalusia, Milan and Stockholm. The latter two benefit especially from the photo-rich format. The series' only flaw is a penchant for puny headings and the occasional snarky caption the downside, perhaps, of the imperative to sound smart.
Time Out also offers a series of scaled-down "Eating & Drinking" guides ($11.95 each), thus far covering London, New York, Paris and most recently Barcelona and Rome. Informed, impassioned and opinionated, these booklets are ideal for repeat visitors and residents intent on tracking down the latest hot spots; they're also invaluable for galloping gastronomes.
The National Geographic Directions series aspires to peer past the touristic facade and unveil the deep soul of a region. Francine Prose does just that in Sicilian Odyssey. Prose has visited Italy often enough to know her way around, yet she retains a lover's fresh joy in discovery: of the "austere and lovely" medieval town of Erice, for instance, "set high on the mountaintop like a diamond solitaire in an antique ring." (She's just as deft at describing places you might want to skip, like Gibellina Nuova, a town destroyed by an earthquake in 1968. Reconstructed with disturbing architectural results thanks to the help of local artists, the new version of the village "makes the loneliest, most haunted de Chirico painting look like one of those cheerful small-town dreamscapes painted by Norman Rockwell.") Follow in Prose's footsteps and you'll be treated to rich mythological glosses, sensual descriptions and provocative philosophical musings.
New Hotels for Global Nomadsby Donald Albrecht (Merrell, $39.95, 160 pages, ISBN 1858941741) is more than the catalog for a fascinating show mounted this winter at New York City's Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. Documenting 35 real and conceptual cutting-edge examples of the hospitality trade, it serves as both explicator and prognosticator of that odd and relatively recent custom whereby we blithely bed down among strangers. The richly illustrated survey begins with Boston's neoclassical Tremont House, which dazzled Dickens and introduced the odd notion (for 1829) of private, lockable rooms. Encompassing Japan's cheapo "capsule hotels" and Dubai's gold leaf-lavished Burj al-Arab (set offshore like a massive spinnaker), the study extends to the "Lunatic Hotel," a technically feasible pipe dream set where else? on the moon. Sandy MacDonald is the author of Quick Escapes Boston: 25 Weekend Getaways from the Hub (Globe Pequot).

DENNIS O'LEARY, MD, had lectured in Room 101 many times. But on a spring night in Washington, DC, in 1981, he faced more than the usual inquiring George Washington University medical students. He faced the people and machines of what the Washington Post later called a "near-ugly" press corps. It was just hours after President Reagan had been shot and the nation awaited the prognosis.
In the midst of glaring television lights and blaring reporters, O'Leary, pressed into service as medical spokesperson, displayed grace under pressure. He explained the procedures being used on the President in lay terms. He held up his arm to show the site of an incision. He became a symbol of calm and reassurance.
Perhaps no physician before or since has faced greater pressure in dealing with the news media. Now, six years after that historic event, O'Leary, who left his position as dean for clinical

Google lobbying states to block anti-Google Glass while driving laws
updated 01:58 pm EST, Tue February 25, 2014
Three states' officials contacted by Google-funded lobbyists
According to reports, Google is attempting to stop legislation that would mark Google Glass as a hazard to driving. Elected officials in Delaware, Illinois, and Missouri have allegedly been contacted, with the search engine giant claiming that it isn't necessary to restrict Google Glass use by drivers as the technology is still in its infancy, and not widely available to the public.
Clearly, despite Google's protestations to the contrary while lobbying against various bills, the technology is headed towards wider release. Illinois state Senator Ira Silverstein introduced the anti-Google Glass bill in December, and tersely responded to Google's statement, saying only "who are they fooling?" Silverstein told Reuters that he had recently met with Google lobbyists regarding the measure.
Google stands behind its technology. A statement regarding the measure said that "we think it is important to be part of those discussions." It also claimed that "while Glass is currently in the hands of a small group of Explorers," the company said, "we find that when people try it for themselves, they better understand the underlying principle that it's not meant to distract, but rather connect people more with the world around them."
"I'm not against Google or Google Glass. It may have a place in society," said Delaware state representative Joseph Miro, primary sponsor of a bill banning texting while driving and Google Glass behind the wheel. "My issue is that while you are driving, you should have nothing that is going to impede the concentration of the driver."
The search engine is mindful of what a possible distraction that Google Glass may be. Google has recently posted advice to Glass Explorers on how to be good members of society while wearing the device. Spelled out in its post, Google said that "above all, even when you're following the law, don't hurt yourself or others by failing to pay attention to the road," and apparently believes this admonishment is sufficient to prevent accidents.

Lions draft pick Caleb Campbell goes through practice May 2, 2008.

Caleb Campbell might get a shot to play for the Detroit Lions, after all. He worked out for the team earlier in the week and has been offered a contract, according to goblackknights.com.
The Lions drafted Campbell in the seventh round out of West Point in 2008, hoping the college safety could play linebacker and special teams. Then-coach Rod Marinelli was an Army veteran. Then-president Matt Millen's son Marcus had played with Campbell.
Campbell was the first Army player drafted since 1997, when Green Bay took quarterback Ronnie McAda with the final pick (240th overall). But just before ...

What a great experience my wife and I had at the Meriter Birthing Center.
Like all first-time parents, my wife and I were very excited, as well as nervous to start a family. We arrived at triage and were quickly assessed. When the doctor determined she was in labor we were quickly moved into a top-notch birthing suite.
The nurse who helped deliver our baby was Jean. Both my wife and I were very impressed by her professionalism and experience. She went out of her way to answer our questions and walk us through the birthing process, step by step. She stayed by our side for most of the day making us feel at ease. I truly wonder if she took a break that day.
We were then taken to the fifth floor. Again, I cannot say enough about every nurse we had contact with. Our night shift nurse, Marian, really stands out, though. Prior to becoming a father, I had very limited experience with infants. Marian assured us that we were on the right track. She had great advice for my wife regarding nursing and helped us get started. That night, I nervously left to attend to our dogs. I knew my wife was in good hands. When she had a rough night, Marian was there for my wife walking her through it. Our last morning in the hospital, Marian came in to introduce the nurse who was taking over on the shift change. We thanked her for everything. The last thing she said to us was how much she loved her job and how lucky she was to be able to take care of us.
There is no doubt Meriter has built some beautiful facilities but I feel what sets it apart are the people working there. From the moment I stepped into the door for our tour I knew we were In good hands. During our tour, our group rode the evaluator with a man whose wife had just given birth at the Birthing Center. He told the group we were going love it. Boy, was he right!

Srinagar is one of the most important cities of India from the tourism point of view. Read on more to know about Srinagar and good hotels in Srinagar.
Situated 5,200 ft above from sea level, Srinagar is well known for its natural beauty. It is the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir and the largest city in Jammu region. It is one of the tourist spots where people from all around the world love to visit. It has several beautiful Lakes, Gardens, Pilgrimages and Historical Monuments which enhance the beauty of this city. It has been the favorite holiday destination of many VIPs and V VIPs since decades. In recent past, terrorism has somewhat affected tourism negatively. But as another example of victory of good over bad, this place has again become a hotspot for nature lovers.

Nearby places like Gulmarg, Pehalgam, Jammu and Ladakh are also quite popular tourist destinations. One must try traditional dishes like Rogan-gosht and Gushtaba.

Srinagar Hotels near Railway Station
Srinagar is well connected through rest of the country by road and airways. The nearest railway station which connects Srinagar to the other major cities is Jammu which is 290 km from Srinagar. Srinagar also has its own railway station but it only connects other places in Vally to it. NH 1A connects Jammu to Srinagar and the major transport mean between these cities are buses and cabs. So it is advised to stay in hotels that are located centrally rather than Srinagar hotels near railway station as it will prevent you from a long hectic road journey, saving your precious time and money.

This initiative is good. This|
This initiative is good. This will be beneficial to the farmers now. - Eric Ludy
AM 730 KWOA serves the AM radio listener area in Southwest Minnesota and Northwest Iowa with area news, sports and weather.
On Earth Day, April 22nd, the The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) retroactively lowered the volume of cellulosic biofuel that refiners must blend into traditional fuels, aligning the 2013 mandated volume to the actual amount of fuels produced.
We are still awaiting the final decision on the 2014 proposed Renewable Fuel Standard from the EPA and in the meantime, in conjunction with Earth Day, the Fuels America coalition has launched a campaign to counter the U.S. oil industry's campaign against ethanol. You may see the television ad on cable, as well as online.
Have thoughts on the proposed RFS? Is the decrease in volume good or bad for our farmers, for our economy? Let us know via email at firstname.lastname@example.com!

Ask John Calder, chief executive of Cincinnati-based Dorsey-Alexander, a manufacturer's agent for motion-control systems. He has some definite opinions about business loans from family and friends: "They're always risky. I know one business owner who relied on his family and friends to get started, and afterward they felt as though they owned the company -- or at least, that they should have owned it."
Calder went that route only once, when he diversified into a high-tech-distribution start-up and couldn't raise capital from the banking community. "I didn't look at those loans as long-term money," he emphasizes. "I planned to use them for no more than a year, until we had established enough of a record to win bank credit."
Calder's experience proved successful for all parties concerned, unlike that of many other business owners, whose "relationship" loans from family or friends sometimes result in misunderstandings or soured relations. "Formalizing the loans really helped."
Here's how Calder structured his borrowings: "We drew up a 90-day promissory note, which we rolled over as needed during the course of about a year." A fixed interest rate was pegged to 1% over prime, "so that the IRS could not raise objections or cause problems for me, the company, or my lenders."
Another reason the deal worked so well, says Calder, is that he "stuck to his original plan and switched to bank credit as soon as it became feasible." That proved his credibility. "Everyone who lent me money has offered to be involved if we ever need more financing help," he notes. Now that he has a bank line of credit in the middle six figures, that's unlikely.

Amazon's near monopoly was great for consumers. It's as simple as that. Amazon was doing to e-books what Apple did for music with iTunes. Apple's entry into the e-books game allows the publishers to play Apple and Amazon against each other, with the end result of higher prices for the consumer. Why couldn't Apple have just worked with Amazon to improve the Kindle reader for the iPad?

While the Vitara in numerous aspects is actually at the rear of the contemporary SUVs, the matter is partly rescued having the 2-liter turbo diesel with common rail direct injection, for which, nevertheless, Suzuki cannot acquire credit simply because it comes from Peugeot. Suzuki Vitara belongs to 'old school', that over time had been exceeded, and today it doesn't have direct competitors – with a duration of 4215 mm, is simply too small to be able to compete, for example, Nissan Patrol or Land Cruiser (which are longer with almost 1 meter. Specifically, Sports utility vehicles, mainly, have actually automotive permanent suspension, and a non inclusive 4×4 drive. Somewhat the Americanized style works well and robust, and that the performance of the Grand Vitara isn't intended for the United states marketplace it is clear by the oxygen intakes on the hood which reveals that it is a diesel design.
The Interior a different story. The interior planning can be categorised as unimaginative, plus some details, such as pieces of the fresh air ports seem like an old job, to place it slightly, ugly. Furthermore, the quality of supplies as well as their complete is a long way from present day requirements, but nevertheless, the dash panel is laid out and all regulates are typically obtainable.

Awesome inspirational dressage vid
I love it :D
It's a very neat video. I can only assume its the same horse tho. Comes to show with good training, you can really push a lot of horses really far.
Thanks for posting.
i know this is an old post but i had to comment. I LOVE this. i find this so inspiring to me and my arabian, sometimes it feels like we'll never get this far but i need to just keep on working hard every day :)
Love it! Time and good training will accomplish that...what a difference those years made.
That's the same horse? O.o
Lol at the beginning.....is she posting at the wrong time?
Wow - very neat video. However (not to be a jerk), but I'm fairly certain before + after = NOT the same horse. We have had two gray arabs, one maintained a dark gray mane and tail all of her life, and our current one has always had a white mane and tail since we've had her (about 9 years). Get my point? lol... very excellent accomplishments though if it is the same rider!
Just saw this thread... I have to agree with the above post, I don't think its the same horse, although her advancement in riding is awesome! You can definitely tell she has WAYYYY more confidence, and is in general a wayyy better rider. :)
Great inspiration! Thank you for posting it!
It's the same horse.
He's only 9 in the beginning, and the second part is 6 years later at 15 years old. Virtually ALL greys will eventually go "white".
I don't know that I agree. Even contributing to muscle and growth and age and whatnot the confo (From what you can sorta see) Doesn't look the same between the two horses, I'm probably wrong, just my two cents tho.

Legendary reggae band The Wailers head to the South Shore Room at Harrah's Lake Tahoe for a concert on February 22, 2014.
Together with Bob Marley, the Wailers have sold over 250 million albums. In England alone they've notched up over twenty chart hits, including seven Top 10 entries. Outside of their groundbreaking work with Marley, the Wailers have also played or performed with international acts like Sting, the Fugees, Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana, and Alpha Blondy, as well as reggae legends such as Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and Burning Spear. As the greatest living exponents of Jamaica's reggae tradition, the Wailers have completed innumerable other tours, playing to an estimated 24 million people across the globe. They have also been the first reggae band to tour new territories on many occasions, including Africa and Asia.
Their nucleus formed in 1969, when Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, and Peter Tosh recruited the Barrett brothers – bassist Aston "Family Man" and drummer Carly – from Lee Perry's Upsetters to play on hits such as Lively Up Yourself, Trenchtown Rock, Duppy Conqueror, and many more besides. Inspired by Rastafari and their ambitions of reaching an international audience, this is the line-up that pioneered roots rock reggae, and signed to Island Records in 1971. Bunny and Peter left two years later. It was at this point that the in-demand Barrett brothers – whose rhythms also underpinned innumerable seventies' reggae hits by other acts – assumed the title of Wailers and backed Marley on the group's international breakthrough album, Natty Dread. Under Family Man's musical leadership, they then partnered Bob Marley on the succession of hit singles and albums that made him a global icon, winner of several Lifetime Achievement awards, and Jamaica's best-loved musical superstar. Drummer Carlton "Carlie" Barrett died in 1987, leaving his brother as the main beneficiary of the Wailers' mantle.

The Pataskala Area Chamber of Commerce recently gave resident Sarah McGuire, pictured here, its Citizenship Award for her community volunteerism. McGuire last year worked to restart an Easter egg hunt in the city, among other efforts.
- Filed Under
When Sarah McGuire was growing up in Pataskala, she enjoyed going on Easter egg hunts each spring inside one of the city's parks and participating in other community-oriented events.
It came as little surprise, then, that McGuire was saddened when many of the events she once loved, including the Easter egg hunt, were canceled because of funding concerns.
Instead of merely complaining and doing little else, McGuire, 32, fixed her mind and volunteer labor on ensuring her children, ages 7 and 3, and other area children in the community would have fun things to do in the present and future. ...

This number (36,000) will include all qualified and charity runners, but does it includes the DNF's and all the comped numbers to the town's on the course, police, fire, etc? If the 5000ish DNF's count as part of the 36,000 then we're only looking at a 4000 runner increase for qualified runners, right?
That's my understanding, but 4000 extra qualifiers is still a lot of people. I know that some of the charities thought they might get extra spots as well, but the charity I'm in touch with hasn't heard from the BAA on that issue. Otherwise I hope there are some spots available on October 5 when I run St. George.
Spiderpig - I think you'll be fine. I agree with others that think it will close after Chicago on Oct 13th. Good luck.
PR's: 5K - 17:16, 10K - 37:06 (HM Split), HM - 1:18:14, M - 2:55:58
2015 Goals: Sub 35 10k, Sub 2:50 marathon
This all doesn't sound too hopeful for BQ-.11.. does anyone know from past history what the cutoff has been? (ignoring about the changed field size etc this year)
Also remember that last year they took on an extra 2160 people for 2012 heat deferments.
Only 427 people took advantage of the heat deferrals.
"Last year, with scorching heat forecast for race day, participants who picked up their bib numbers were granted the option of competing this year instead, but only 427 of the 26,716 entrants did so."
The 2013 race did not fill in the first two weeks and did not close until October 11 (after the Chicago Marathon). For the 2012 race (the first race with the wave registration process) the cutoff wound up being ~BQ-1:14. But that was under the old qualifying standards that were 5:59 slower.
Mark my prediction as filling week 2 BQ-:45
If you want to never run, never start because once you do you'll never stop.
Runnerrunner, that is fantastic analysis (and great stats by all others who have been dropping knowledge on here), but it certainly doesn't make me feel any better. After reading thru all this information, I am assuming that my -15 seconds is going to be a crapshoot and a really nervous couple of weeks. My prediction is that it is filled the second week though I hope it doesn't. This is my first BQ and you never know if you are going to get one again. I have improved immensely over each marathon but again, injuries, age, and life gets in the way. Not getting to run Boston for me would be sad, but getting that darned number was always the #1 goal, running it was goal #2. But after achieving it, it would seem awfully disappointing not to participate.
At least I know I made it in ahead of foolishrunner by four seconds though-lol. Foolishrunner, when did you know it was going to be a tight one to get BQ? I knew right around mile 18-20 that nothing could go wrong or I was going to be hosed.
Do or do not, there is no try - Yoda
Marathon - 3:04:31(10/15), 5K - 17:46 (5/25/14), 5 mile - 30:28 (5/26/14), 4 Mile - 23:03 (7/4/14), 10K - 37:54 (8/11/13), half marathon -1:24:03 (08/10/14)
JWD, GaryCraig and other on the streak list. I just saw this. Nice group to be in. I was hoping it would skew results a little more for peace of mind.
Registration also ended yesterday for marathoners who have run ten or more consecutive Boston Marathons and met their time standard for the 2014 race; 254 such runners signed up for next year's marathon.
I read on the BAA website that the 2015 qualification window will open on September 14th. If I BQ at Erie the next day, September 15th, AND Boston registration reopens for Week 2 on September 16th, will I be able to use THAT BQ for both 2014 AND 2015? I know years ago, you could use one BQ for two Bostons.
thanks for posting that.
i wonder if that includes the streakers that entered the first week in the 'deferred' category as well?
Yup. No problems doing that...
Since 2004 PRs: Marathon: 2:48:41 (4/2011) 25k: 1:38:17 (3/2010) 10k: 37:10 (4/2011)... A long time ago....
Over 40 PRs: Marathon: 3:02:46 (4/2015) 25k: 1:45:02 (3/2013) HM: 1:28:50 (3/14) 10k: 39:15 (4/2012) 5k: 19:39 (6/13)
Hopefully my body will let me get to 10 in a row. At 6, with a BQ-7:26 for 2014. I get an extra 10 min for my 10th in 2017.
It closes week 2, BQ-2:07. GUARANTEED!!!
PR's: 5K - 16:18, 10K - 35:12, HM - 1:18:39, M - 2:43:37
2013 Goals: 5K - 16:30 (7/28/2013), 10K - 35:00, HM - 1:15, M - 2:45 (4/15/13)
Then I guess I'm out with -1:39 :-)
With this news, are you experts out there still expecting the race to be filled by the time Chicago rolls around this year 10/13? I know that is awfully late, but if things go well for me, I would love a shot. Just wondering your thoughts?
haha - my guess is no more accurate than anybody else, so certainly don't make any alternate April marathon plans based on my number pulled out of a hat. I just love to stir up the pot sometimes. I do believe it will close in week 2, but I think the idea that was mentioned by somebody previously - allow all the first two week registrants to sign up before determining how many charity/comp tickets they're going to give out - is a good one. I would love to see them accommodate everybody who has a BQ prior to the end of the two week registration period.
truth is - nobody knows.
I've read on another forum where some "expert" states that since the field has been expanded to 36K, anyone with a qualifying time will get in..."no one will be left behind".
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...holy shit!...what a ride!
did anyone mention that of the 83% of the dnf's some of them would have qualified over the summer anyway?
Some math for you:
(A-B-C) - DEFG = x
A = Field size = 36,000
B = DNF registrants = 4,500
C = Charity registrants = 6,000
D = BQ performances in US/Canada = ~37,000
E = Rate of unique qualifiers among BQ performances = ~.9
F = Rate of US/Canada qualifiers who apply for spots* = ~.75
G = Rate of worldwide applicants to US/Canada applicants = ~1.1
x = Surplus spots (if X is negative, then this is the number of qualifiers denied registration)
*Note that F includes qualifiers who do not apply because they've registered as DNFers.
The number I get for x is -1973, meaning that about 2,000 qualifiers would be denied registration. But I think my rate for F is probably low. If F were .8 then about 3,800 qualifiers would be denied registration.
huge assumption that i've emphasized above
any basis in fact for it?
i think your "F" is way, way too high
No basis in fact for my "F." Just a guess. If F is lower, it would make a big difference.
I hope you are REALLY REALLY wrong! I am BQ -15 seconds. I need that number way down. We shall see. Before the whole extra 9000 people, I was giving myself little chance of getting in, maybe 25%. Now I am thinking 50%. The good news is that I hope to be running a BQ -7 minutes in October so if I don't get in this year, I will get in next year.
I question your "E" factor there, too. You are assuming that of the 37,000 BQ races in US and Canada, only 10% of those are repeats? I'd guess there are a lot more than that. Also, some of those 37,000 will overlap with people who have already gotten spots in "B".
I will be pretty surprised if they have to cut it off beyond the BQ qualifying times. But I could be wrong.
The 427 was the number of people who went to the expo and picked up their packets but then turned in their bib #s for deferment. BAA later relaxed their policy for those who didn't even bother flying into Boston to be eligible as well. There were in fact 2160 non-starters from 2012 who took advantage of the early registration period to run in 2013.
My PRs
1500 - 4:13.30 5k - 15:55 10k - 33:59 half - 1:16:21 full - 2:39:05
This is a quote from an article that appeared on the Runners World website in May and was just updated to reflect the expanded field size. The full article is on the website. I don't know where the author is getting his numbers from but the article contains a break-down by age group.
"With the increase in field size to 36,000 from 27,000, there will be approximately 4,500 more spots for time qualifiers than last year. About 3,200 of those spots will remain open after the BQ minus 5 minutes registration period – but there will be 15,000 runners with a BQ time vying for those spots. Given these numbers, the "real" Boston Qualifying time will probably be your BQ minus 4 to 4.5 minutes."
can you link that article? i looked but could not find it.
i think that's way off base. the writer is assuming more than 20,000 entrants with BQ - 5 and better. that's highly unlikely
It is a matter of supply versus demand.
If the demand increases by only 32% or 25,000 applicants, all time-qualified applicants will get in.
If the demand increases by 140% or 45,417 applicants, only BQ-5 or better will get in.
If the demand increases by 280% or 71,831 applicants, only BQ-10 or better will get in.
On September 14 & 17, 2012, BAA published the following data:
* 2,300 runners submitted applications in the first 24 hours
* 6,581 runners submitted applications in the first 4 days
* 10,418 runners plus 1,417 heat-deferrals submitted applications in the first week
The total of 18,908 after week 2 is my guesstimate since BAA did not publish any data on it. BAA only informed the public that the race was almost full.
Marathon Guide BQ data are still using the old BQ formula from 2012 and earlier. Even if there were ~37,000 people qualified in 2013, the D field in the Patrick's formula was missing the runners that qualified between Sept 22, 2012 and Dec 31, 2012.
I think 4 is high and 4.5 seems nearly impossible, but I honestly think this projection is going to be much closer to reality than the numbers that many of us are hoping for. Closing out at BQ-3 or faster would not surprise me at all.
It is supply vs. demand, but both are limited: one by the number allowed by the BAA, and the other by the number of qualified runners. I fell pretty certain that there are no where near the 72K required for scenerio #3, and I think even the 45K for scenerio #2 is a stretch.
Absolute PRs
Phat Old Man PR's
This is the link to the Runners World article. It is a regular column called "Run the Numbers."
From that article (underlining is from RW, not me):
...if interest in running Boston in 2014 is double the interest in running Boston in 2013, it will sell out before registration opens to all qualifiers.
The 2013 Boston Marathon was 53% sold out after the BQ-minus-5 minutes registration wave. In 2014, it's very possible that it will be 100% sold out.
1. I think that while interest may or may not double this year, not all interest translates into action, and not all action succeeds. It's hard to believe we will have double the number of qualifiers this year, although it is easy to believe that some number of qualifiers who never registered for Boston before may now reconsider.
2. Last year the race may have been 53% filled after the first week of registration, but it took several weeks after that to register the remaining 47%. I think we have lots of wiggle room for this year.
If those numbers inspire people to go out and qualify with something better than a BQ-5, then that's great, but I think there is hope for everyone else.
that article seems to be full of assumptions without giving a factual background for those assumptions.
i'm sticking with my prediction that there is no way it will fill the first week....
He seems to base his opinion on the statement "if interest in running Boston is double" that statement may be true but there is a big difference between interest and qualifying.
I'm looking forward to reaching a conclusion on this in the next few weeks. Primarily because I can't wait to find out if I'll get in, but also to finally and mercifully end this dreadful thread
Such as "Too soon to speculate on the weather for next April"?
Still chasing 2:xx:xx..
I hear the long range forecast for Patriots Day is 32 degrees and black ice at the start and 93 degrees by the time you reach Wellesley. Perfect marathon weather.

Sometimes life hands you lessons on a silver platter, or in my case, sometimes life hands you lessons in a snow-filled, slushy gutter. I spent the weekend in Denver hoping to explore the downtown area, spend a little quality time with my sweetie, and of course find amazing food to eat and photograph.
But sometimes things don't work out exactly the way you planned.
Denver was hit by a massive snowstorm that dumped more than a foot of snow on the downtown area. The snow began the evening we arrived in town and ended about 3 hours before we left for the airport to return home.
The funny thing is, I was in need of a little reminder about being in control. Sometimes, you don't get to be. Sometimes it snows all weekend and your hopes of exploring on foot and jogging in the park are dashed. Sometimes you just have to eat at the diner across the street. Sometimes you just have to let go of the things you can't control and focus on the things you can. Sometimes you have to make the best of what you've got.
Yes, I like being in control. I like to make plans and see them through. I like when things go my way. Who doesn't, really? But it's important to be able to roll with the punches, too. And after a difficult week at work and several blows to my ego that left me feeling powerless and small, the Denver snowstorm was just the kick in the pants I needed.
We rolled with it in Denver. I abandoned my plans to hit (supposedly) one of the best brunch spots downtown for the greasy spoon a stone's throw from the hotel. Dinner Friday night was at a chain restaurant on the 16th Street Mall where we could take the free trolley. Our tour of the Denver Mint was cancelled, so we ventured out to the Denver Art Museum and basically had the place to ourselves. We got totally soaked by foot-deep slush in the roads on the way back. And we had a great time. We spent time together and we laughed, even if it wasn't exactly what we had planned.
And I was reminded that I wasn't powerless; I just need to control what I can and let go of the rest. I will always be able to control my attitude — rain, shine, sleet or snow. I will always be able to set measurable goals and strive for them. I will always be able to control how hard I work. I can always choose to be flexible. I can always choose to make the most of every situation.
So thanks, Universe. for the little lesson this weekend. I needed it and I'm back on track! Maybe next time, though, could my lessons be learned on a warm. sandy beach somewhere??

ivivva NYC got the chance to catch up with Ana, the youngest competitor in this year's NYC Half-Marathon in March, just before she darted into soccer practice.
Ana finished the iconic course that takes you 13.1 miles (21 km) through all five of New York City's boroughs in an impressive two hours and 22 minutes.
While she loves running, among her other sports like soccer, she didn't run the race just for fun. She's raising money to help send kids to summer camp, an experience that she holds close to her heart.
So far she has raised more than $2,800 for the Fresh Air Fund which gives New York City children from low-income communities the opportunity to go to summer camp. The race may be over but she is still running full speed ahead in her fundraising efforts.
To help Ana reach her fundraising goals, donate here.
Why did you choose the Fresh Air Fund?
The best part about camp is you get to be yourself. Everyone counts; everyone matters. Camp has helped shape me into a well-rounded person, and an individual character. At camp, you have a lot of responsibility, you have to take care of yourself, and I think everyone needs to know how to do that. You have friends who really love you and you get to spend time with people your own age without the pressure of school. It's stress-free and there's no competition.
What do you like about running?
It helps me mentally relax, improves my speed and overall fitness.
How did you mentally prepare for the race?
Before the race I reminded myself that I could do it and it was going to be all right.
What was a highlight from the race course?
Running through Times Square; looking down 7th Ave. and seeing all of the gorgeous, extravagant buildings.
What was the biggest challenge?
The last few miles. I kept thinking "when is this over?"
What advice do you have for other girls who want to race?
Believe in yourself and have confidence—it's what will get you through anything.

I think his name is Jack–did I get that right? Correct me if not! He likes to shop at Buffalo and we dug his outfit, especially his accessories and splashes of color.
and nice shoes…
I don't know "jack", but this guy looks a lot like former Tucson City Manager Mike Hein sporting a beard to me…
hmm…interesting MBryan. That theory was proposed by my neighbor as well!!!

I, on occasion, tell Todd Harrison stories.
Todd has a storied background on Wall Street, as Head Trader of Jim Cramer's hedge fund, and as I describe him in a soon to be published piece on blogging, Wall Street's first true blogger.
Many of the Toddo anecdotes were not for public attribution. In the past, he has named names and called people out for the foolishness, arrogance, etc. Because of the way these stories were told to me, i.e., privately, they were never for public attribution, only for late night drunken campfires.
Todd has finally gone public.
"Memoirs of a Minyan" is a first-person account that follows Minyanville founder Todd Harrison through a Wall Street trading career to the Internet media business, with some important lessons about the nature of money along the way.
This e-book will publish each Wednesday over next few months. The first few chapters are already posted:
Inmates in the asylum
Commentary: How a high-flying trader learned the secret of money
Animal House
Commentary: Getting a foot in the door at Syracuse — and Morgan Stanley
Its a good read, worth checking out . . .
There is also a good interview with Todd over at Wall Street Cheat Sheet: http://wallstcheatsheet.com/?p=1029
Category: Financial Press
Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor implied. If you could repeat previously discredited memes or steer the conversation into irrelevant, off topic discussions, it would be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.

Time Magazine has chosen President Barack Obama as its 2012 Person of the Year.
"There are many reasons for this, but the biggest by far are the nation's changing demographics and Obama's unique ability to capitalize on them," the Time Magazine article said. "When his name is on the ballot, the next America - a younger, more diverse America - turns out at the polls."
Obama was also named Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 2008, after winning his first election.
This time, Obama edged out four finalists: Malala Yousafzai, a 15-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban for campaigning for girls' right to go to school; Apple CEO Tim Cook; Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi; and physicist Fabiola Gianotti, who helped discover the Higgs Boson "God particle" that gives other fundamental particles their mass.

I know I wrote about doing the Avon Walk many moons ago and I know many of you generously supported me and I know I promised frequent updates and I know I've let you all down in that regard.
Here's the truth of the matter. I've been training with my friends Alison and Stephanie but not nearly as much as I should - why? Because I hate it (not the being with Al and Steph though - they're a blast)! It's the walking.
Alison, Stephanie, & Kim
I'm sorry but walking for three, four or even five miles is fine. But after that, it gets boring. It gets painful too - my feet hurt, my ankles hurt, luckily with my new sneakers, my legs finally stopped hurting ... but still. And the longer we trained, the more I dreaded it. The more I dreaded it, the less I walked (well at least the shorter walks - like 6 - 8 miles - yes those are considered shorter walks). The less I walked, the guiltier I felt about not walking and not keeping you all updated.
Luckily though, the training is over. Why? Because a week from now we'll be done. And whether or not we walk 39.3 miles, 26.2 miles or something in between, I read something today from a woman named Judy Cherry, that I thought I'd share that made me feel a whole lot better about this - even look forward to it:
RELAX, it's just walking. You've probably been doing it since you were about 1 year old. Well, yes, it's a lot of miles, but there are NO mileage police, so if you get tired at mile 10, stop, rest, or pop on a sweep van and sweep ahead to the next rest stop, then continue. If you are really done, the blisters are bad, the back hurts, listen to your body, and get swept to the Wellness Village.
YOU ARE A HERO, you raised the money to allow you to walk, but more importantly you have raised the money that will help many who have no breast health care, you have raised the money that will help fund the research that will end this epidemic.
You ARE curing Cancer because you took the time to raise the money to walk, the walk is a reward, not a punishment, enjoy it!
Whether you walk 39 steps or 39 miles or somewhere in between, just remember you are a HERO!
There's one thing I will disagree with though, "YOU ARE A HERO, you raised the money to allow you to walk..." I'm not the hero. You all are! Thanks for all your support.
Tomorrow I'll be posting the cheering stations, so if you happen to be in NYC next weekend, feel free to stop by and cheer us on.

Thanks for your posting. Another thing is that being a photographer will involve not only issues in taking award-winning photographs and also hardships in acquiring the best dslr camera suited to your requirements and most especially issues in maintaining the quality of your camera. This can be very genuine and obvious for those photography addicts that are straight into capturing the particular nature's fascinating scenes : the mountains, the forests, the particular wild or even the seas. Visiting these daring places definitely requires a digicam that can live up to the wild's severe area.

plain vanilla HotSpot @Home, Talk Forever will require custom WiFi routers manufactured specifically for the service; that kinda sucks, we suppose, but in return, the new routers can feed traditional landline phones of your choice by supporting up to two SIM cards internally. Trials will be rolling out in Seattle (T-Mob's home town) and Dallas in February, and it seems that the carrier will be offering the service in both landline / mobile combo and landline-only configurations. Now, here's where it gets a little weird: we just Googled "HotSpot @Home Talk Forever" and stumbled upon www.tiltyourworld.com, a site that appears to be some sort of Talk Forever training site for T-Mobile folk. But guess what? The exact same site was used for training AT&T folk on the Tilt a few months back! What gives? Anyway, follow the break for a quick breakdown on the goods.
