If you're fairly new to the blog, these are my babies:
|Photographic evidence that they used to like each other
Our arrangement works like this: Scout spends the day in our bedroom and bathroom, and Scrabble runs around the living room and guest room. At least once a day, we put Scrabble in the guest bedroom/bathroom and let Scout have the run of the house.
We've taken Scout to two different vets, both of whom seem completely stymied by the fact that this hasn't cleared up on its own. The first vet knew less about these kind of situations than I did, and all I have is my degree in Google Searching. The second vet was less clueless, and decided we should try an antidepressant on Scout to help with her aggression. You heard me. An antidepressant. I mean, they say animals look like their owners after a while, but this is getting just a little too real for me.
So we had to go the drug route. Now, if you haven't met me before, you may not be aware of the fact that I'm practically a poster-child for drug-free living. I hate taking any kind of pills unless it's necessary, and I certainly don't do anything illegal. By extension, I'm the same way with my animals. I don't like giving them any kind of medication unless they need it. The idea of Scout being drugged up or not like herself anymore was really tough on me, but it was the only option at the time.
We've basically tried every natural remedy at this point and tried what all the websites have said, but I'm open to suggestions. I've googled "cat therapist" a few times and bookmarked some pages. I'm about to call that weird guy from Animal Planet with the guitar case full of cat toys to come do his thing and fix this.
So, while I wait for my cats to be friends again...anyone know a cat whisperer?

HOUSTON (March 15, 2013)--A federal judge Friday Houston physician Ben Harris Echols, 63, to more than five years in prison for his role in a Medicare fraud scheme that pulled in more than $20 million from false claims.
Authorities say Echols also was ordered Friday to pay $2.9 mllion in restitution.
He was convicted in December on one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and six counts of false statements relating to health care matters.
Echols approved plans for medical care so that fraudulent claims could be billed by two home health care companies and also signed treatment plans for Medicare beneficiaries not under his care, authorities said.
He conspired with the health care companies for payouts of $17.3 million, and with other beneficiaries for additional claims of $5.5 million, authorities said.

|Outcome of treatment for dislocation after primary total hip replacement.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19258606 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|We have studied the natural history of a first episode of dislocation after primary total hip replacement (THR) to clarify the incidence of recurrent dislocation, the need for subsequent revision and the quality of life of these patients. Over a six-year period, 99 patients (101 hips) presented with a first dislocation of a primary THR. A total of 61 hips (60.4%) had dislocated more than once. After a minimum follow-up of one year, seven patients had died. Of the remaining 94 hips (92 patients), 47 underwent a revision for instability and one awaits operation (51% in total). Of these, seven re-dislocated and four needed further surgery. The quality of life of the patients was studied using the Oxford Hip Score and the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaire. A control group of patients who had not dislocated was also studied. At a mean follow-up of 4.5 years (1 to 20), the mean Oxford Hip Score was 26.7 (15 to 47) after one episode of dislocation, 27.2 (12 to 45) after recurrent dislocation, 34.5 (12 to 54) after successful revision surgery, 42 (29 to 55) after failed revision surgery and 17.4 (12 to 32) in the control group. The EuroQol-5 dimension questionnaire revealed more health problems in patients undergoing revision surgery.

1) What are your recent shorter-distance race times?
Half marathon (8/25/12) 1:39:12
Half marathon (9/2413) 1:30:48
PRs 5K-18:27(7/2015) 10K-36:58(3/2015) 13.1-1:22:47(8/2015) 26.2-2:56:30(11/2014)
i won't offer specific pace advice, but i will offer some course advice. i've paced at Richmond and i think you've picked a great one for a first marathon... nice size, nice course, and well organized
i've got a long course description in this thread:
short version: 1 - 10 are the easy miles, flat to gently rolling with a long downhill mile 7. rolling from 10 to 18, with long but very gradual climbs from 15 to 18 (this might be the tough part of the course) long straight stretches from 18 to 21 and then gently rolling to the finish, but with a few good straight and flat stretches.
be prepared to be a tiny bit faster than you might expect at 10 miles and then give some time back between 10 and 18.
best of luck!
Great mileage and an excellent improvement over the last year, wow! You still have some endurance deficit, not as bad as last year, but your 10K is proportionally faster than your half by enough that I'd be hesitant to use a more aggressive predictor. I think 3:15 is a reasonable goal for you, and if you feel strong after 18 (based on jwd's course description) you could inch it down a bit.

bloggy stuff at http://ilanarama.dreamwidth.org
I'm a Richmond local and run on our local training team, so we have run every mile of the course multiple times. I'd offer a couple of small notes on your course description.
The Hugenot Bridge was completely re-decked last year and as a result is beautifully smooth and flat and pothole free now. The stretch of the course over the river at this bridge and then alongside the river down to Pony Pasture is the most scenic run in town, in my opinion. The problem with the Lee Bridge is not so much that it is steep (it is gently uphill), but that mornings often come with relatively strong headwinds. On the training team, I often draw a crowd in my extensive wind shadow. The neighborhood at mile 21 continues to offer both beer and bourbon shots. I've taken the shot to enormously positive crowd reaction while running the half, but it is probably a bad idea for the full. I also find the section from 22-25 to be a difficult section because there are virtually no spectators. The new finish stretch is actually even more steeply downhill to such a degree that it is almost too steep and you need to be a bit careful with your footing. The small rolls you describe on Cary Street no longer are part of the course.
Wow! Thanks a lot JWD and SlowNUnsteady for the course advice. I'm a local Richmonder but generally train outside of the city. I generally train on a lot of hills and did all of my long runs through a hilly area so that should help. I chose this marathon because it's local and I've heard great things about the crowd support and I've ran other Sports Backers races and they put out well organized events. I hope to have a wonderful experience this first time around and thanks again for your advice.
ilanarama I will aim for 3:15 and if things are going well around mile 18 I may lower my pace a little. My improvements were soley from base building. I've tried to incorporate some speedwork here and there but I felt like my body couldn't handle both at the same time. Now that my body is acclimated to higher mileage I will add the speedwork and tempos in next cycle. Thanks for your help! I will report back after the race with an update of how it went.
Good luck TattedRunner. I'll be there ready to PR as well. I may see you at the start and if things go poorly you'll pass me near the finish on your way to sub 3:15. If things go as planned I'll join the sub 3 club.
I don't always do recovery runs; But when I do, I usually PR

There is no Try based upon your recent 10K and Half I don't expect to see you other than possibly the start line and finish line. I'm sure you'll get your sub 3. One day I want to be like you . Have you ran this race before?
Sorry, I have no pace advice to add, but good luck to all my fellow runners taking on Richmond on the 16th! This is my second time running Richmond, and it's a great race!

jwd: Thanks for the course description and advice. Are you pacing it this year? Can you pace me to a sub 3? The website says the fastest pacer is 3:05. I'm worried about running it alone.
TR: I have not raced Richmond before. I've only run one marathon. It's good to hear a number of people saying so many good things about the organization and the course. Just keep at it and don't get injured and you will be faster than me.
Goodluck to you too RunDad.

won't be there this year and my sub-3:00 days are over, i'm afraid.. last one was in 2006 and my knees are going
first time i ran Richmond, there was no sub-3 pacer, so i gathered a group from here, letsrun.com's board, and from the Richmond Road Runners message board: http://www.rrrc.org/
i also held up my own little sign - the official pace group leaders have large signs to hold up above their heads in the corrals
Thanks! Good luck to you as well.
Thanks I plan to stay as healthy as possible. It does suck that the fastest pacer is 3:05. I'm assuming because that's fastest time to BQ.
I'm toying with the idea of joining a pace group. I've heard both good and bad stories about crowded water stops due to large pace groups and pacers running uneven splits. I know it's my own race and not the pacers fault so I think I may just try to run on my own. Like a bonehead I never did any of my long runs without anything other than water and gatorade. I just purchased some gels to try out on my long run this weekend. How often do you guys take in a gel?
You might also try the discussion forum at marathontrainingteam.com I know that there are a number of guys on the black team (all our teams have colors for their names and that is the fastest team) who run sub-3.
I think the 3:15 pace group isn't very large for whatever reason, so I don't think that crowding will be a huge problem, although I have no idea how good the pacer will be about hitting even splits.
I've tried a million approaches to the gels on my long runs. I'm fortunate that I have a cast-iron stomach so everything seems to work ok. My latest approach has been one shot block every other mile which works well for me. You are likely to need less since I'll be out there quite a bit longer than you!
the water stops will not be crowded at your pace
Ah, one of the great benefits of running sub 3:30. Water stations (not stops since most don't stop at that pace) are basically clear. This is also an advantage when picking up your checked bag. Long lines form much later. And volunteers aren't worn out yet.
Cool I will try out a few gels on my long run this weekend to practice and see how my body reacts to them.
That's great to hear that the 3:15 pace group will not be that big and that water stations will not be crowded. I will join the pace group now that I know this. I've also heard about the long lines for checked bags. I guess the faster you finish the quicker you can get your bag . Thanks for the info. guys!
Despite taking a bathroom break at mile 11 and severe cramping in my quads and hamstrings around mile 24 I managed to get 3:14 in my debut. After looking at my splits I went out really conservative with my first 13.1 split being 1:38 and second 13.1 being 1:36. I'm happy with my results I'm currently looking for a spring marathon to try and BQ with 3:05. My splits were as follows:

I'm thinking about picking up the Hanson book to read and decide whether to go with a Hanson plan or Pfitz 18/70 and add in the speedwork. This time around I followed Pfitz 12/70 for mileage only with no speedwork. Has anyone done both plans and can share which plan they like better? Also, is it possible to get 3:05 by the spring or is that too short of a time period? Thanks.
Great debut! Congrats.
Don't worry about your spring pace goal yet. 3:05 may be completely reasonable -- you are progressing quickly -- but that's a ways out. Rest, rebuild your mileage, do a tune-up race or two, reevaluate.
Haven't followed Hanson's but have studied both and would recommend Hanson's.
A 16 y/o XC Runner stuck in a 52 y/o body.
Well done!
Thanks! I can barely walk right now but I'm enjoying not worrying about fitting in running for the moment.
Great debut. I think sub-3:05 is very reasonable for a newer runner who debuted at 3:14! I used Hansons Advanced and liked it, but this was only my third, so I'm no expert on plans. Best of luck in your next one!
Awesome job TR! That's a hell of a debut! Everyone was right about Richmond being a great Marathon.
TR, I think you could go maybe go 3:05 in the Spring. Pick one late enough to give you at least a solid 12 week cycle, but early enough to be cool still. If you are a VA resident, DC does the Rock and Roll marathon Mid March. I did the half last year and enjoyed the course. Organization kinda sucks though. Planning on doing the FM this year. It's 16 weeks away so that gives time to recovery and then do a short but solid plan.
Other options for a spring marathon in VA include the Runners Marathon of Reston, put on by the Reston Runners Club on 3/30, and the Shamrock Marathon in VA Beach on 3/16. I've heard good things about Shamrock, but I know almost nothing about Reston - it's only the second year for that race.
Thanks! I will pick up the Hanson book and even if I don't decide to use it I'm sure there's something I can learn in there. Congrats on your race again!
Thanks and congrats on your time as well. You've motivated me seeing how much time you knocked off since your spring marathon. You'll be sub 3 in your next race no doubt. I'm a VA resident but I want to do a destination race that gives me a little more time to do a full 12 week cycle. I've read some good reviews on the Vermont City marathon, Pittsburgh marathon, and Flying Pig. All are in May so that will give me enough time to rest up and start a new cycle. The only problem with May is that the weather is kind of iffy.
Wow I totally forgot about the Shamrock Marathon. I've heard great things about this race as well from quite a few people. I'm not sure if that will be enough time to drop 9 minutes though. Thanks for the reminder about this race. Do you think that's enough time?
I really don't have the qualifications to answer that. I've only been serious about running for a few years, and just ran my first marathon last year. There are a LOT of great people with more knowledge and experience here. I'm sure some will weigh in.
That said, I don't think it's an unreasonable goal at all to drop 9 minutes between now and March. If I can drop 35+ minutes in a year, 9 minutes in ~5 months is possible, especially if you add in some speedwork for your next cycle. If you don't have to take a potty break the second time, you're saving a minute right there! Good luck!!
Congratulations on the outstanding result!
I've run the Shamrock Half I think three times as well as the Richmond half and now the full. The course in Virginia Beach is completely pancake flat for the the half (roughly the last half of the full course) and almost completely flat for the full. You go over one bridge twice in the first half, but it is very much a faster course than Richmond. I think the total elevation of the bridge might be 40 feet.
The only thing that can be interesting about Virginia Beach in March is the wind. Many years it is pretty strong blowing offshore and this can be a factor that works against you, especially in miles 19-21 around Fort Story. The weather is almost always cooler than Richmond was this year, which should also make things a little bit faster. I'd think that the course itself is probably worth about 2 or 3 minutes at your pace.
Since it is sponsored by Yuengling, there is lots of beer at the finish and they have the best swag of any race I've done. Its not quite as well organized as the Richmond race, but it is pretty well-run.
Thanks for your advice. I will try and decide in the next few weeks on what my next race will be. It'll be atleast a month before I will work my way back up to normal mileage.
Thanks a lot! I've read a lot about the wind in the Shamrock marathon and I don't mind especially since the weather would be favorable and the course is flatter. I actually thought Richmond was really hilly up until around mile 18 or so. Are you planning on running the Shamrock in 2014?
I'm always interested to hear people's perspective on the hills. My neighborhood is a relatively hilly part of town, so I usually find Richmond courses to be flatter than my training runs and seem to do better with them my training partners. However, the long steady slow climb from 15-18 (the area around the second bridge) does seem to come at just the right point to sap your strength. I ran a Ragnar relay through the western part of Maryland and came to realize that what I thought were hills were actually nothing, so I don't complain about the hills around Richmond any more.
I am going to run the Shamrock in 2014. I'm not sure that I'm going to have the time to train for another full or not, so I'm leaning towards running the half. Currently, my plan is to target something like 40 miles a week. Throughout the entire training process for Richmond I told everyone I was going to run one and be done forever with this craziness.
I train in and around Charlottesville and spent most of the Richmond marathon thinking, "so where are the hills?"
PR: 26.2 -- 4:17:05 (no shorter races run)
I also train in an area that is not flat. I wouldn't call it overly hilly but a 50-100 foot climb over a half mile is not uncommon. I didn't really notice the hills this past weekend in Richmond except for a few obvious ones. After mile 10 there was a short but rather steep one going away from the river. There was an overpass near the expo building that I noticed. And of course the downhills at mile 6 and the finish. I didn't much notice the slow an steady climb from 15-18. Is Richmond flat? No. Is it hilly? Not really. I'd say is might add a 1-2 minutes to a completely flat marathon in the exact same conditions. This website is a cool comparison tool: http://www.findmymarathon.com/...-time-conversion.php
You guys are lucky to be able to train daily on hills. I live in a hilly area but due to my work schedule 90% of my running is done on the treadmill this time of year. I get up around 4am and commute 2 hours to work and by the time I get home it's dark out so I'm limited to the treadmill during the week and running outside Saturday and Sunday. In the summer I'm able to run outside a lot more since the daylight is longer. I would like to run outside more but I think it's dangerous to run at night since I don't live in the city with sidewalks. Do you guys run at night?
I'm always surprised when people say this. I've done the half and the full @ Shamrock and find that section up Shore Drive to be noticeably "up." I know it isn't hilly, but it can take its toll.
It's a wonderful event. Richmond too (though I may be biased by my PR in the HM this weekend )
I just started running in February of this year, and ran only on an indoor track until it was warm enough (and light enough) to run outside in the evenings. I'm not sure what I'm going to do this winter! (I'll probably try to carve time out of work during the afternoons, and return to work when I am done.)
Well, you are correct that Shore Drive is "up" but the total change is virtually nothing:
I'm guessing you are just really sensitive to elevation changes since the net change in elevation along Shore Drive is something like 10 feet over three miles.
TattedRunner, I am pretty much driven inside by Winter as well although I sometimes can sneak a run in at lunch since we have showers at work. I have a headlamp and knuckle lights, but I mostly use the treadmill on weekdays.

Percussion Ensembles at Lawrence include LUPÉ (Lawrence University Percussion Ensemble), Sambistas (Brazilian drumming ensemble), Tambotoké (Afro Cuban Ensemble), and Kinkaviwo (African drumming ensemble). All are under the direction of Dane Richeson. Many of these ensembles perform at local schools during the school year and on tours during breaks.
All large ensemble concerts performed in the Lawrence Memorial Chapel can be enjoyed around the world through our live, four camera video webcasts.
Lawrence University Percussion Ensemble (LUPÉ) is the classical percussion ensemble at Lawrence. All percussion majors participate in this group which performs a concert every term. The repertoire includes large ensembles (10-15 players), chamber works (for 3-6 players), and works that feature student soloists.
The Sambistas perform grooves from traditional Rio de Janeiro Carnaval Samba to Samba Reggae from Salvadaor, Bahia to originals, transcriptions and arrangements that include many different types of influences from Cuban to Indian Tabla drumming. Performing at a variety of events throughout the year, the Sambistas are one of the most popular student groups on campus and in the community.
Kinkaviwo, meaning Children of Kinka, is the African drumming ensemble at Lawrence. The group primarily performs music of the Ewe people from the Volta region of Ghana. The pieces include Adzogbo, Gahu, Adzrowo and Kinka. This style of music utilizes a call and response between the master or lead drum and the rest of the ensemble. All performances include singing, dancing and drumming, and students are encouraged to learn and perform these different elements.

Glazed Apartment is a minimalist home located in Barcelona, designed by Sergi Pons. A brick wall divides the apartment into two clearly separate living atmospheres:: day and night. Translucent glass doors glide across the walls to add a semi-transparent filter to not only the rooms, but the walls itself as well.

Southern Miss
A new facility to be dedicated next week at The University of Southern Mississippi will serve as the hub of academic and outreach efforts for the institution's ongoing focus on economic advancement.
A dedication ceremony for the newly completed Trent Lott National Center for Excellence in Economic Development and Entrepreneurship is set for March 5 at 5:30 p.m.
The public is invited to the event in the rotunda of the building which is located on the Hattiesburg campus next to M.M. Roberts Stadium on Championship Lane. The building's namesake, the Hon. Trent Lott, will be the honored guest along with state and local dignitaries, including Mississippi's Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant.
"This facility is the epicenter and key outreach component of our economic advancement activities. Southern Miss is committed to enhancing the quality of life of Hattiesburg and south Mississippi," said Southern Miss President, Martha Saunders.
The 53,000-square-foot, three-story building, designed by Albert and Associates of Hattiesburg, embodies the Greek Revival architecture style. A glass staircase encapsulated in its rotunda serves as the focal point of this magnificent structure. Finlo Construction of Hattiesburg was general contractor for the project that began in February 2005, delayed temporarily later that year by Hurricane Katrina.
Its first floor includes classrooms, meeting rooms and a catering kitchen for events. The second floor houses the offices of the Center's director, the Department of Economic and Workforce Development, the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security and the Center for Logistics, Trade and Transportation. The third floor is home to the offices of University Advancement.
"Southern Miss already has a great record of economic development education and advocacy. Yet, this new center will help the university and our state take this critical next step attracting some of the most promising young people and the most prolific economic development practitioners to train and work here," said Lott.
"This center will help Mississippi sustain our economic progress for the long term, provide Mississippi's communities with more skilled economic development professionals who can retain existing jobs and recruit new ones. It is my vision that this be a center of resource to our state, the region and beyond."
Lott served Mississippi in the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, including as its majority leader, for a combined 35 years until he left the U.S. Congress in 2007. In addition to supporting economic growth and security legislation, he was also a passionate advocate for a strong national defense and was successful in building coalitions among Republicans and Democrats. He is also the only person to have held the position of Republican Whip in both the House and Senate.
With a long history of leadership in economic development, Southern Miss offers a unique combination of academic programs for students and professionals looking to further their education. Programs offered include a bachelor's degree in applied technology; a master's in economic development; a master's in workforce training and development; and a doctorate in human capital development.
These programs, along with outreach initiatives, will come together at the center to support Southern Miss' commitment to global research, regional innovation, university entrepreneurship and national education.
"This will be a great day not only for Southern Miss, but for the State of Mississippi," said Lt. Gov. Bryant. "This facility is a true testament to the life's work of the man it honors. A man that is a true friend and mentor of mine will always be remembered as Mississippi's Senator. Trent Lott's vision has always been that of an entrepreneurial spirit, helping make Mississippi better one step at a time. This building continues that vision now and into the future as we position ourselves as a world leader in economic ingenuity and innovation."

Senior shot put thrower Curt Jensen clinched his second All-American honor of the season at NCAA Nationals earlier this month.
With a strong third preliminary throw of 19.49 meters (63-11.50), Jensen moved from 17th place to seventh place, solidifying a position in the finals. However, Jensen was unable to best his preliminary throw, and finished eighth overall.
"I think he realized that he needed to throw big," said head coach Jeff Bovee. "He had a much better final series, but couldn't crack into the top four or five. Regardless, he still capped off a fantastic senior year."
For the 2013-2014 season, Jensen captured 15 top-five finishes in three separate events. With three consecutive first-place finishes in the shot put, Jensen broke both the Missouri Valley Conference and Illinois State shot put records on two of those three victories. Presently, Jensen continues to hold those records with a mark of 20.33 meters (66-08.50), which was thrown during the Redbird Invite.

ROCKFORD — Juries are never more skeptical than when considering cases of domestic abuse.
Juries return a not guilty verdict 69 percent of the time they're asked to consider domestic battery charges, a Register Star analysis of jury verdicts in Boone and Winnebago counties over the past three years shows.
Inside: By the numbers
ROCKFORD — Juries are never more skeptical than when considering cases of domestic abuse.
Juries return a not guilty verdict 69 percent of the time they're asked to consider domestic battery charges, a Register Star analysis of jury verdicts in Boone and Winnebago counties over the past three years shows.
Prosecutors and advocates for domestic abuse victims say the data highlights the struggle victims have leaving their abusers. Emotional appeals from abusers can lead victims to recant their willingness to testify or cooperate with prosecutors, leaving them in an uphill battle before the 12-member panel charged with determining guilt.
"When the jury sees the victim being reluctant, they're not as ready to convict," said David Taylor, a law professor at Northern Illinois University. "Those, unfortunately, become very difficult cases."
Domestic cases can also be subject to false reports in attempted custody battles, further muddying juries' ability to determine the truth. Or they're asked to decide whether an altercation amounts to battery.
"As a society as a whole, we don't take domestic violence very seriously," said Karen Gill, VP of operations for Remedies Renewing Lives. "Some people will tell you it's a personal matter and the courts shouldn't get involved."
Gill's organization served about 1,600 victims of domestic abuse in the Rockford area last year. All but three of the 655 adult victims served last year were women. She knows victims are in the most danger when they attempt to end a relationship and that fear, because of threats from the abuser, can make them unwilling to work with police and prosecutors. Abusers can also turn apologetic to try to win their victim back before a case goes to trial, Gill said, noting research from Ohio State University that proves the point.
Researchers from the university conducted a study in 2011 where they listened to telephone conversations between 17 accused male abusers and their victims, all of whom withdrew their accusations. They found that the accused tried to minimize their abuse and asked for sympathy from the victim by describing the difficulty of being in jail.
It's an all too common pattern, said Brandon Jones, director of policy for Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
"There is a pattern of abuse where the abuser will escalate to the point where it gets to a trial, but at that moment they will back everything up and be apologetic ... that works on some people," he said.
Jones said part of the problem is that the public, in general, doesn't understand the pattern of abuse domestic violence victims face.
"One of the things that's difficult for a jury to accept is that people come back to a domestic violence situation," Jones said.
Jones recommends victims develop a safety plan before they turn their abuser in so they know where to stay and how they'll be able to support themselves or get help without that person in their life.
Page 2 of 3 - Leaving an abuser can be difficult because the victim may depend on them for financial support or want to stay together for the sake of their family. Some abusers will try to control every aspect of their victims lives, from finances to food.
"We've had abusers that empty somebody's asthma inhaler while they are standing there looking at them, just so that she'll be further dependent," Gill said.
Prosecutors must push on even after a victim decides to no longer cooperate, State's Attorney Joe Bruscato said.
"The criminal justice system is weighing the concerns and desires of the victims against the desire to protect the public, and it becomes very difficult," Bruscato said. "These cases have inherent complications because of the multifaceted concerns that need to be addressed that often make successful prosecution very difficult."
It's not just Bruscato's office or Michelle Courier, state's attorney in Boone County, who struggle to convince juries to convict people of domestic violence. The percent of not guilty verdicts was nearly identical — 72 percent, but with about half the number of cases going to trial — in a stretch from 2004-2006 before either was in office.
Take domestic battery out of the equation and juries are far more likely to find defendants guilty — they did so about 60 percent of the time in all felony and misdemeanor trials in Boone and Winnebago counties from 2010-2012.
Still, the number of domestic battery cases that go before a jury are just a fraction of the total offenses. There were 59 jury trials for domestic battery between 2010-2012. Last year alone more than 1,100 people were booked into the Winnebago County Jail on domestic abuse charges, according to Sheriff Dick Meyers.
Many cases will have enough evidence to negotiate a guilty plea. Others lose the testimony needed to convict, Meyers said.
"Sometimes, even at the scene, you get there and you got two people involved in a heck of a fight between themselves and you really struggle to separate them," Meyers said. "But the minute you start to take one into custody the other one turns against you. That doesn't stop there. I think that follows the entire case."

Last week, Brett Jackson, the 22-year-old CEO of a Boulder, CO company called Generation Think Tank, got a call out of the blue from an organization called Protect Colorado's Future. Would he be interested in a five-day, get out the vote project to convince young Coloradans to vote no on three business and labor-related amendments? The concern was that young people would go to the polls to cast their votes for the next president, but would ignore the amendments. A "hefty" fee was proffered, says Jackson, whose company specializes in non-traditional marketing and advertising. He singed on and got to work immediately, GenY style.
"We did four things," says Jackson. "We had a Facebook strategy which allowed people to update their status to say 'vote no on amendments 47, 49, and 54'; we had a Twitter strategy; we had street teams handing out fliers on twelve college campuses in Colorado; and we dressed up on Halloween as politicians carrying picket signs that said 'Vote No on Amendments 47, 49, and 54.' We had pictures taken of us with people dressed up as nurses, police officers and firefighters. The idea was that people would share them online and tag them." Jackson, who is now tempted to start a political consulting practice, reports that Protect Colorado's Future saw an exponential increase in web traffic over the past few days. Will that translate into votes? We'll know tomorrow.
The strategy wasn't just about delivering a message using social media, says Jackson. "It was about shaping the message and then letting other people determine how they wanted to talk about it. Then it's their message and it tends to have a stronger impact on their friends than if it were delivered by some politician in Washington," he says. It's a strategy I'm betting we'll see a lot more of -- from politicians, special interest groups, and businesses large and small.

PARSIPPANY - A 71-year-old woman who stopped in an office building parking lot to ask for directions was kidnapped, forced to withdraw money from an ATM machine and then left in the trunk of her car, police said Friday.
Joseph Defreitas, 41, and Marilyn Nadeau, 52, both of East Rutherford, were arrested Thursday for allegedly kidnapping and robbing the woman in Parsippany on Dec. 29, according to a press release from Acting Morris County Prosecutor Frederick M. Knapp and Parsippany Police Chief Anthony DeZenzo.

Free agency has very nearly come and gone. The big names have signed and the ones remaining are either role players or big names that some might consider only that - names. Players like Shaquille O'Neal, Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady.
Marc Stein of ESPN.com has updates on all three , but looked intently at Shaq's current situation.
Stein says Dallas is "definitely out" and that Atlanta stands as the only team with a confirmed "live" interest in Shaq. But the big guy, Stein says, still wants assurances of a healthy amount of playing time as well as a salary that starts above the $5.8 million mid-level exception, which can be achieved through a sign-and-trade with Cleveland. But again, Stein reiterates what we already know: No team out there, including Atlanta, is known to be willing to pay Shaq more than $2 million for next season. And why should anyone?
Stein also said Shaq, McGrady and Iverson have all expressed interest in joining the Heat, but it's unlikely any of them will land in Miami. In assembling a supporting cast for LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on a severely limited budget, the Heat made it clear that it doesn't want to add anyone -- no matter how much money that player is ready to sacrifice -- who could potentially alter chemistry or divert focus away from the SuperFriends. As Stein says, Shaq was never a consideration after his critical comments of Miami's training staff upon arrival in Phoenix and his history of ripping Bosh.
Currently, Shaq's best option appears to still be Atlanta but O'Neal will have to check both his ego and his checkbook at the door. The Spurs still reportedly have some interest, but that's surely on the condition Shaq takes the veteran minimum. Right now, it appears options for Shaq are pretty limited.
Now Shaq was productive in Cleveland last year. He averaged 12 ppg and 6.7 rpg, and fleshed out to per 36 minutes, he put up close to 18 and 10 and had a quality PER of almost 18. But again, he's 38, will only play about 20-25 minutes a game, isn't a guarantee for all 82 and wants too much money. Who's in? Don't all you teams put your hands up at once.

Eyedrops that Probe the Brain
Gene probes deployed in eyedrops show brain damage in MRIs of mice.
By dosing mice with eyedrops containing gene probes that then travel to the brain, Harvard researchers are using magnetic resonance imaging to observe the brains of living animals. The method could allow doctors to directly diagnose problems such as tumors, viral infections, and head injury, without the need for a brain biopsy. It could also be useful in monitoring patients and perhaps even targeting drug treatment to affected areas of the brain.
The gene probe technique, reported in the latest issue of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Journal, allows MRI scans that show gliosis, the process in which glial cells in the brain form a fibrous network as a defense against damage. This scarring occurs in disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease and as a consequence of brain tumors and serious brain injury.
The work is "really a good start," says Monique Stins, a visiting scientist at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, who was not involved in the research. However, she adds, "It's still far from the bedside. The safety of all these kinds of probes still has to be assessed."
In earlier studies, radiologist Philip Liu and his colleagues at Harvard Medical School injected the probes directly into the brains of animals. Now they've incorporated them into eyedrops.
To create the gene targeting probe, Liu and his colleagues hitched a common MRI probe to a DNA sequence complementary to the mRNA of a protein found in glial cells. They tested the probe in mice in which the blood-brain barrier–which regulates the movement of substances from the blood to the brain–had been breached. The barrier is compromised in many neurological disorders, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, and viral infections, although the process is not yet well understood.
Liu and his colleagues are not sure how the probes penetrated the brain, but they believe it may have been via the lymphatic system, which includes vessels in the eyes. Fluid from the lymphatic system merges with blood in the vascular system, and if the blood-brain barrier is compromised, Liu says, probes could travel from the eye to the brain.
After treating the mice with eyedrops, the team performed MRI scans on the live animals to produce images of gliosis in their brains. Such scans could be a valuable indicator of brain injury or a neurological disorder, Liu says, and they could be performed regularly to monitor a patient's progress.

Oil spill report boosts case against BP, othersHoward Erichson in Reuters, September 16, 2011
Media Source
Sept 16 (Reuters) - A U.S. government report largely blaming BP for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill could provide fresh ammunition to plaintiffs in mass litigation against the oil giant and co-defendants Transocean and Halliburton.
If the case proceeds to trial, currently scheduled to start in February before U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier in New Orleans, the report could be ruled admissible in whole or in part, or referred to in examination of witnesses and in closing arguments. The 212-page report, which cites regulatory violations by all three of the companies, could also be used in arguments for punitive damages and as leverage in any settlement talks.
After the report was released, Reuters quoted a source close to BP predicting the company would offer "the mother of all settlements" to end all legal troubles stemming from the 2010 spill. BP is also facing civil charges by the U.S. Department of Justice and by the states of Louisiana and Alabama.
Lawyers for the private litigants declined to offer specifics on how they plan to use the report, which was released on Wednesday by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE). It was even more critical of BP's actions than was a previous U.S. government investigation, conducted by a presidential panel and released early this year.
"By spelling out in detail what went wrong and by listing regulations that were violated, the (new) report practically gives plaintiffs' lawyers a blueprint for trial," said Howard Erichson, a professor specializing in complex litigation at Fordham Law School.
Paul Sterbcow, a lead attorney for the group of plaintiffs and a partner at Lewis, Kullman Sterbcow & Abramson in New Orleans, told Reuters that its findings "bolster what we already know, and strengthen and confirm our position."
BP, Transocean and Halliburton have each praised parts of the report. BP said it agreed "with the report's core conclusion -- consistent with every other official investigation -- that the Deepwater Horizon accident was the result of multiple causes, involving multiple parties, including Transocean and Halliburton."
Transocean said the report "finally puts to rest all previous allegations that improper maintenance of the blowout preventer contributed to the tragedy." Halliburton said the report "accurately places responsibility on BP", which it said was responsible for all the operational decisions in the contributing causes.
The group of private plaintiffs' attorneys is pushing to recover damages in a case that consolidates more than 108,000 claims by fishermen, oystermen, and property and business owners.
The company has encouraged individual claimants to seek compensation outside of court from its victims' compensation fund, the Gulf Coast Claims Facility.
Legal experts said that the report, which found that BP was solely responsible for 21 of 35 contributing causes of the disaster and shared blame with Transocean and Halliburton for eight more, could provide grounds for punitive damages.
"So much went wrong that the question becomes, 'How can you make so many mistakes?'" said Byron Stier, a professor at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. "It is hard for me to imagine, that given all the damage to the Gulf, and with the multiple government reports pointing to wrongdoing, that a jury wouldn't award punitive damages."
In order to recover punitive damages, the plaintiffs have to show defendants are guilty of gross negligence or worse, a claim BP and other defendants deny.
David Logan, dean of Roger Williams Law School in Bristol, Rhode Island, said that BP, Transocean and Halliburton could all be hit with punitive damages. "It demonstrates high culpability for all three," he said. "It keeps three deep pockets in play." Transocean owned and operated the sunken rig, while Halliburton was responsible for cement work on the drilling project.
It is not clear how much punitive damages would add to the total sum of any overall recovery, since plaintiffs claiming indirect losses -- such as restaurants and hotels that say they lost revenue as tourism fell -- are not eligible for punitive damages. It is unknown how many of the private claimants allege such indirect losses, compared to those who claim direct losses. Still, any punitive damages award is likely to be huge.
"There could be multibillion dollar punitive damage awards against BP and the other companies involved, but they are unlikely to be in the tens of billions of dollars," said David Uhlmann, a professor of law at the University of Michigan and formerly a top environmental prosecutor for the Department of Justice.
The pending multidistrict litigation is In re: Oil Spill by the Oil Rig "Deepwater Horizon" in the Gulf of Mexico, on April 20, 2010, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana, No. 10-md-02179.

Marketers don't have to become programmers, but they should have a clue about the technology running a digital operation. First in a series.
Marketers must be able to work closely and effectively with their counterparts who are responsible for managing an online business' technology. That's because technology is at the core of all digital operations. And the more a marketer understands what goes into successfully implementing the technology piece of a project, the better the marketer will be able to work in unison with her technology colleagues. And the more smoothly projects will go.
Of course, it's not necessary for marketers to learn to be programmers. Marketing and IT come from different worlds, but they intersect in more areas, especially in our world of convergence.
Keep in mind technology is:
By understanding technology, you'll:
Therefore, "core technologies" is the next of my 12 Cs for Thriving in a Digital World.
Depending on your organization, the online technology responsibilities may reside in different places. They may be the responsibility of a centralized digital or e-media team, managed by a centralized IT division or a departmental IT team, or outsourced to a vendor.
Key Technology Components
Understanding the scope and number of technologies and systems helps one appreciate the complexity of what runs behind the scenes. A large number of systems and technologies go into running an online business. We'll talk about some of the following in more depth in upcoming columns:
It's a lot. These systems need to have requirements defined, then be developed, configured, or customized. They must be installed, tested, deployed, and managed. And these systems must be integrated so they work together and support comprehensive reporting. They must also be fast and stay up 24/7.
Build vs. Buy
When evaluating systems and technologies, technology teams often have to decide whether they should build a system from scratch or buy something they can configure to meet business requirements.
The answer depends on many issues, such as whether there's a product available that can be configured to meet a business need or whether building a system will give an organization a competitive advantage. Organizations must also evaluate the cost for each approach and whether they have the resources, including staff, to build a system. Other issues include the time-to-market goals, marketplace pressure, integration with other systems, and security requirements.
In my next column, we'll drill down on a few more key technology concepts that will help you work more effectively with your technology counterparts. With this knowledge, you'll hopefully have an answer to the commonly asked question from the business side: Why does it take so long to do X? More important, you'll be able to partner with the technology team so you can proactively help reduce the time it actually takes to accomplish your business goals.

Utter destruction takes place right behind me, the high-pitched shattering of tiles and groaning splintering of wood the background music to my day.
Be that as it may, life must go on around, above, through it all.
My MA thesis was on the rhizome–the concept that all things are connected somehow, and the moment an idea starts it spreads exponentially, so much so that eventually it's almost impossible to trace the web back to its origin.
Such is my life right now.
I met an editor five years ago in California, and asked her how to go about getting work as an editor. She explained to me, in her gentle, Kiwi accent, that it's a Devil Wears Prada kind of thing, where you have to beg your way in the door, and then scrape your way up.
Five years later, I'm putting on a conference for that same publishing house in England, enjoying editing and meeting some amazing authors.
And lately I've been making contacts I never would have thought of, and suddenly my worlds are colliding (my worlds, as well as S's, which is interesting). We hang out with women who write, and also happen to play football, and who also happen to go to the university I want to do my PhD at, who also happen to work with the professor whom I want to work with, who also happen to know the writing folks at Left Lion, who also happen to know some writing groups I might be interested in….and so forth.
This is also having a totally unexpected and delightful benefit: community. I've not been a part of one since I was a child, growing up among my mother's lesbian friends. Now, we're being invited to various social gatherings, lesbian, football and writing, and that's just so cool. Now we just have to find the energy and time to enjoy this new fruitfulness.
And I'm thinking that when you're on the right path, the Universe throws so many good things in your way, you cant help but know you're heading in the right direction. The signs are there, if you only watch for them and don't exist on autopilot.
Hello, gift-horse. I will be avoiding your mouth, thank you very much.

Funeral of Jean Oxley being held in Combe Martin today
Posted: February 21, 2013|
The funeral of a 97-year-old who passed away earlier this month is being held in Combe Martin today.
Jean Oxley lived in the village but died at Edenmore Nursing Home in Ilfracombe on February 6.
She was the wife of the late Roy Oxley who was an officer in the airforce.
He was stationed in Singapore at the end of the Second World War and he and Mrs Oxley only narrowly escaped with their lives.
Philippa Shone who works for Andy's Cabs in Combe Martin used to drive Mrs Oxley to various events and remembers her fondly.
She said: "She was absolutely brilliant. We saw her quite a bit. She had such a sad life but she was always so happy.
"I used to pick her up from bingo and she would still have her make-up on. She always made the effort. She was a lovely person and such a character."
Her funeral service is being held at 4pm today in Combe Martin Parish Church.

We started to have some window dressing on Friday, but sellers
took some of the sizzle away in the afternoon. Today ended up being
a very similar case.
Looking at today's tape, we saw a big pop in tobacco plays after
the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Justice Department's bid for as
much as $280 billion in tobacco company profits, refusing to hear
an Obama administration appeal. Companies like Altria Group (
) , Reynolds American (
) and Lorillard (
) all moved nicely higher. Other names doing well today included
Pepsico (
) and Johnson & Johnson (
) .
Commodity-related shares were dragging the indices lower for
much of the day. Plays like Massey Energy (
) , Cliff's Natural Resources (
) , and U.S. Steel (
) did their share of the damage. The dividend yields of these
companies are below average and make them unattractive.
Hope everyone had a great weekend as we get set for another week

A revamped program at Eudora High School is provided answers to the question students were notorious for asking about their school tasks: "Yeah, but when will I use this in real life?"
"There's a direct attempt to make sure they understand the applications they see here at school have real-life uses when they get out in the real world," said assistant principal Ron Abel.
The veteran Eudora teacher and new administrator oversaw the Vocational Advisory Council, which asked local and area business leaders to provide input into curriculum for electives and some areas of core classes.
"The whole purpose of having the Council is so we can keep in contact with how the business environment works and make sure we're providing that here," Abel said.
• The Eudora cross country team completed a strong season with a historic trip to the 4A state cross country meet Saturday at Wamego. Brittney Graff and Tighe Van Anne each took home all-state honors, bestowed on the top-20 runners.
The girls team qualified for the state meet, finishing second at regionals Oct. 25 in Tonganoxie. It followed its silver medal performance with a solid eighth-place finish in Wamego.
In any sport, a coach looks for improvement over the course of a season, and the Cardinals state performance acted as a startling symbol of the improvement the team has made.
Eudora participated in the Wamego Invitational Sept. 13. The girls finished in ninth place out of a select 17 teams. At the state meet the team finished eighth against the highest caliber runners in Kansas.

I am a registered professional forester who has lived in Placerville for over 40 years and who has seen many dry years.
After three dry years, nearly all of California is in a drought. As a result, forests are already losing some trees, more in the lower elevations.
Several native pines and oaks now have very sparse foliage. Plants drop many of their leaves to reduce water loss. Some leaves have to remain for life-giving food.
Within about a 50-mile radius of Placerville there are scattered trees that have already died in the last few months. Many areas have little or no losses at this time. However, other areas have 10 to 15 dead trees within two to three acres.
With five more months of dry weather ahead before fall, more trees will drop out. With these trees so flammable, fire danger will increase.
In the drought year of 1977, I took a photo of full fall colors of trees near Coloma on July 4, 1977; we may have fall foliage this year, too, at about the same time.
