Yeah, 7x1000 with 200M recoveries is a tough workout. I did 6x1000 last night around a 3:25 pace (goal was 3:17 pace) an I was pretty gassed at the end. I'm the first to admit that I've been slacking a bit the last couple weeks, but this workout would have felt tough even if I were in peak shape.
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)
Nils: Super Sux man. Just take it slow and don't turn a few weeks recovery into months. Don't let it turn you off of track work. 5k pace shouldn't be an "Explosive sprint" or so fast one gets injured easily. 5k pace is fairly controlled.
Speaking of the track I did DKG's workout this morning. 7x1000 with 200m recoveries. Man 200m recoveries are short! I went through 6x1000 on 3:45 +/- a couple seconds with 200m recoveries which took 80-90 secs. I needed a 600m recovery to hit the 7th one at 3:45. Maybe I'm not in 6:00-6:05 10k shape or maybe it was the 100% humidity (aka cloud, I could barely see the entire track) but they were hard. Or should they be hard? Felt great once I was done and cooled down for a mile. Next non-tempo track day I will try a ladder.
I bet it was the humidity. I don't think you'd have a problem with a 6:00 - 6:05 10k.
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
Goal was 3:17? So it was a different workout -- seems like 5k pace.
I've done 1k reps for years, and it's a different story doing 5k pace reps than 10k pace reps -- the latter really sneak up to you late in the workout. Of course, I take longer rests when doing 5k pace stuff.
Nils - Damn about the injury, although I always thought you were a quantity over quality guy. If you do recover quickly then bang out as many easy pace miles as you can and you might still run a decent race.
Follow your own plan next time - check out Brad Hudson's 'Run Faster' book. (if you haven't already)
2015 Races - Half 1:24:18 Full 2:54:39
Mikkey - I can't run any more, it's too painful. Now, I'll try to maintain my fitness level with hill biking. I'm in SUB 3 shape right now. At the beginning of the year I banged out a 3:30 time off of no training. If I do some intensive biking in the hills I should be able to get a 2:59. If the pain in my stomach dissapears by then.
My next plan is run by feel, build up miles to 100 weekly, in about 4 weeks when I am recovered and run by feel. No more speed work. I don't want to be sidelined with injury again. And if it takes a year longer to hit a 2:30. Consistency is far more important than perfection. I think that quantity always will beat quality at our level. It has to get faster that is obvious.

Yeah, 3:17 is pretty much exactly 5K pace. The Daniel's VDOT numbers are pretty aggressive in my opinion. Last night's workout was done at I pace - the middle pace between R (VOMax) and tempo. I imagine that when I switch over to marathon training in late December, I will move away from doing the K's this fast.
R pace isn't VO2 max -- I pace is. R pace is for power and true speed, the sorts of things that Slammin' and I have been harping on recently. Unfortunately, Daniels leaves a big blank in his training paces where 10k pace is. I think that's an effective zone. At least his adjusted tempo paces make a place for half marathon and marathon pace.
The 5k-15k plan is very difficult and aggressive, for sure. I've always thought the Cross Country plan would be a really good one to follow -- plenty of work, a lot of different pace areas and workout ideas, decent mileage, but nothing that will kill you.
I was under the impression that his cruise intervals are pretty close to 10k pace?(ETA - at least that's what you get in the McMillan calculator when you compare the 10k pace and the cruise intervals paces).
Still chasing 2:xx:xx..
They are at T pace. Which doesn't have much flexibility, unlike McMillan's use of cruise intervals.
I have a diagnosis from the PT: iliopsoas tendonitis
"iliopsoas tendinitis, or dancer's hip"
Sorry about your dancer's hip Nils. Does cycling not hurt it?
that corroborates what I just wrote on my last post edit...
Speaking of things that will kill you.... I had the worse stomach bug for two days (Tues and Wed). On the plus side I did lose 5 pounds... but on the negative side I couldn't run or eat.
I ran 6 on Monday, and 6 again today... definitely feel better but todays run I just felt no energy. Tomorrow is a travel day to the 50miler (four hour drive) and the race is Saturday morning.
So definitely need to try and get as much food in as possible in the next day or two right? Forecast for the race looks great... the low the night before in 48!!!! And the high on Saturday is 81. Race starts at 7:40am
Still planning on going out around 9 minute mile pace and the goals is to finish in 8 hours. There is a total elevation gain of about 5,000 ft.
Will be vacationing the week after the race but will try and post my time using my phone!
Peace Out!
Dancer's Hip -- I had no idea. That's spectacular, and really indicative that nils was not running those 1200s correctly at all.
colefund: oof. Good luck. Some liquid carb-loading is probably in order.
R pace isn't VO2 max -- I pace is. R pace is for power and true speed, the sorts of things that Slammin' and I have been harping on recently.
hah - I guess that explains why I want to die after pretty much every one of my track workouts.....
I would literally have nothing to do.
+1 Brad's the man, he says just run as you feel, cover the basics run lots, hills, speed, run lots and target training for specificity (specific races). Run by feel, coach yourself and don't follow a plan. If you do follow a plan be, very flexible and move everything around to suit you most importantly. The lady I am coaching reads him and says we sound a like so I have to read him eventually. I read 1st chapter, he sounded like me so I saw no need to continue.
Elmo's World!!!----------------------------------------------Train Easy, Win Hard!
Sorry to hear about you injury, Nils. I am sure you will bounce back quickly. I attempted that same work out this morning, the 6 x 1200m at 5k pace. Not even close. I broke 1:30 twice during the entire work out and averaged a 6:05 pace. This was my first interval workout in a long time and it appears that I have some work to do on my speed and rhythm. I felt really clumsy and clunky, plus my back was feeling a bit wonky.
Marathon PR: 2:53:59. Half Marathon: 1:21:38 10k: 36:42. 5k:17:35
PK - my right hip always does that - often on stairs too. As long as I'm not holding it, it doesn't click or anything while running. Never had a problem. Though it clicks a lot more on an eliptical. That's why I stay away from those devil machines.
Marathon PB: 2:56:23
Next: Boston
A Muse - you should do online clinics for the guys in here. They could learn so much from you if they paid attention.
Nils - Sub 3:00 is still possible. Do your speed workouts on the bike. I wouldn't necessarily ride hills. Do intensity on a flat road. I ride on a service road and I do supplemental 5K training on the bike. I consistently ran fast when I add bike workouts. The key is to act as though you are on the track, Ride your intervals as time as oppose to distance. So if you are doing a 3:17 1K, ride at intensity for 3:20 then recover 90 secs to 2 mins. I would not try to be Marco Pantani instead be Marcel Kittel in your bike workouts. I started doing interval training on the bike in summer of 2009 and got below 16 in a 5k that same fall. I am seeing people and articles talking about bike as a means to do intervals a lot lately, I'm here to say it worked for me. Then again results will vary as with anything.
Mikkey - How are you doing? I would still aim high in Guernsey. How did the move go? Are you all settled in your new flat?
Funny, I'd just ordered this book yesterday before you guys started talking about him. I like his emphasis on hills and combining aerobic and muscular strength. I hear he's Canova-esque and learnt from Canova. Is anyone here familiar enough with the two of them to compare their approaches?
Stranger things have happened than Ryan Hall coming to the sub 3 forum asking for workouts. Or should I say, Ryan Hall has made stranger coaching decisions than coming to the sub 3 forum asking for workouts.
Based on the last two posts, I'd say maybe Ryan Hall is a fan of Brad Hudson. No training plan, no coach, just does what he feels like doing when he wakes up.
5K and 10K PR's - Stay out of my personal business.
Half PR- 1:27:56 May2013 (A mile in the sky!)
Full PR- 3:13:23 Oct2013 (A mile in the sky!)
I think he gave up on the 'Training With God' philosophy. It was definitely a cool idea, but he seems to have moved back to a more traditional method.
Let me rephrase. I think he gave up the 'Being Trained By God' philosophy. He still definitely trains (and lives his whole life) with God, but seems to have decided to leverage the talents of a coach for his formal training.
Hudson is Canova light, basically. Most of what he learned from Canova is from letsrun posts. But the book is very good. I think the plans in the book are not great, and to some degree they contradict the text (which is about learning enough to make your own plan).
Comparing approaches between Hudson and Canova would suggest you were in the position to make a choice between them. Canova coaches elite athletes only, so what we take from him has to be adapted, and it really only 'works' for runners with both a very developed endurance base and a lot of experience in the given event.
Didn't he switch back to no formal coaching though, because he and Renato could never match up schedules?
That's what he said, anyway. Who knows what really happened. I haven't believed a word Ryan Hall has said in several years.
Tried to run this morning. it was a fail.
So unless I wake up tomorrow with rainbows and rose petals around my right shin, I will be a DNS for Lehigh.
Will probably just rest completely until it feels right. Fat kid week coming up.
Ahhh, he definitely could have. I just Googled "who does Ryan Hall train with?" and that was the first semi-recent article I saw. He was such a promising talent when he ran that sub-2:05 at Boston. It's a shame he hasn't really been able to build on it.
Here is a recent one. Yeah I don't necessarily agree with his training method, but he is allowed to do whatever he wants.
Meb and Haile were setting PR's at 38, so I think Ryan Hall could still get some great times if he is really healed from whatever has been happening.
Hall is really good at manipulating the media to maintain his profile. He is a great talent. Maybe he has or had enough talent at one point to win a major marathon. But his temperament is a problem. He left Mahon because he didn't like doing the support work (gym stuff) to prevent injury, yet he's had chronic hamstring problems. His approach to those problems is prayer (even prayer healing groups) and massage. Mahon also knew Hall's speed was diminishing and wanted him to get back on the track, which is what it would have taken to re-acquire the sort of form he had when he ran a sub-60 half marathon. Hall doesn't like that sort of intensity anymore. This came up again when he was working with Canova. He is committed to a certain kind of running, narrowly circumscribed. He isn't flexible enough.
Sorry to hear Ifp. Lot's of injuries popping up on this thread. Making me nervous. Are we pushing too hard for fall races? Personally I have decided in the last 2 weeks to cut my easy recovery runs down to six miles or about 50 minutes. That allows me to go longer or faster three days a week and hopefully be less tired overall.
I don't always do recovery runs; But when I do, I usually PR
"5th avenue can screw off straight to hell" - Dan "Insane" Kelley
2015 Goals: FM-2:44:59, HM-1:16:59, 10M-PR, 10K-35:29, 5K-16:59, Miles-2900
Running my first 5K in a long time tomorrow. Not the best course, there is a 300 meter long hill with about 25 meter elevation change right around 4K. I still expect to PR but I think sub 18 is questionable. If it was flat I would be pretty confident Any tips?
Training for 2015 Chicago Marathon
PRs Full: 2:52:06 (6/14), Half: 1:22:00.8 (5/14), 10K: 38:09 (3/13), 5K: 17:55 (6/14).
This is coming from a guy who failed his last sub 18 attempt by a lot but I would run the first mile just a tad faster than pace to compensate for the late hill. Like a 5:40. Good luck! Choose the pain!
Hall is back to being coached by God again. Basically God told him to do a lot of strength work because jumping into speed too early kept getting him injured. So he's been doing 18-20 miles a day and lots of long intense workouts around 440-455 pace. Like he did a 20 miler at a 520 average with tempo intervals or something like that, and he did 10 x 1 mile with short rests (probably means 1 minute jogs) in 450ish. Sometimes his wife Sara posts about it on her facebook page and Ryan shares it on his facebook page (this is how I hear about some of his workouts).
PRs: 220 800, 448 1500, 1002 3k(last 3k of 5k split), 1653 5k, 3824 10k, 1:26:13 half marathon
and hey, my prs are in my sig below. The 10k/half marathon were from when my 5k pr was 1744. Since its 1653 now, if I moved up to the marathon what would be a good goal? And if I got my 5k down to sub 16, what would be a good goal then? (I'm going to focus on 5k for a couple more years before moving up, but just want to get some ideas)
Based on your HM time (the better predictor for marathon time) and your average weekly mileage (60-70 as far as I remember from your messages), you probably would be able to think about breaking sub 3. 5K results are not very reliable in prediction of FM time. But that is totally theoretical - 2 years is a long time...
50-54: HM - 1:21:44 (11/15) 10K - 37:55 (9/15) 2015 Goal - MM or bust
Austin, that's a pretty slow 10k and half for a 17:44 5k. What was your mileage then? What is it now? Based on your 5k speed alone you should be running in the 2:40s.
And you believe what you read about the workouts and paces?

Making (And Sticking With) A Meal Plan
By Trish on September 12, 2011
Ty and I are terrible at planning meals. We're both so indecisive that it usually means that we end up having to go the store before we've made up our minds on what to make for the week, which inevitably ends up with more impulse purchases, frozen items, and other "center of the store" items. Thus, we spend more money, don't really have anything to cook from scratch, and are fairly dissatisfied.
One of the main things that I usually fail at with my diet is consistently making good, wholesome meals. I try here and there, but I need to improve on that, and that's something that I've been aware of for a long time. One of my issues is that Ty will sometimes try a bite of what I cook, but usually will end up making his own meal. (I'm still trying to find meals that he likes, but he's not very forthcoming with ideas.) So, most of the time I'm left with large amounts of leftovers which last me for days (lunches and dinners), so the whole cooking-every-day thing isn't very practical.
Documentaries such as "Forks Over Knives" and "Food Matters" have left me with a renewed sense of resolve to keep expanding my catalog of favorite meals, which I can refer to when I'm out of ideas. (And I really need to get around to designing and putting together my own notebook of "absolute favorites" and "Ty will eat this" recipes, which I keep telling myself I'll do…)
In any case, I've decided on a few dishes that I'd like to cook this week (or maybe next, depending on our schedule and how leftovers get eaten):
- Spinach Linguine with Edamame Pesto: One of my all-time favorites! I actually prefer this pesto over the "normal" oily stuff. This pasta is so hearty and delicious and good for you, all at once. You really can't go wrong…
- Pineapple and Potato Curry: My friend Sarah brought this to last week's Wednesday Night Dinner (a weekly potluck with some friends), and I totally fell in love with it! Some comments on the recipe mention adding a can of chickpeas, and I plan on adding some of those, along with some fresh peas from the garden. I figure I'll have this over some basmati rice that my dad brought us a couple weeks ago (he bought too much at Costco — oops!).
- Thai Salad with Slow-Cooked Tofu in Pineapple Barbecue Sauce: I saw this on the FatFree Vegan Kitchen blog today, and just went, "Oh, yum!" Even being sick today and not thinking ANYTHING could possibly taste good, my brain said, "Oh yes, you will like this." So now this is on my menu.
- Macaroni and "cheese"!: I don't have a link to this recipe, but my friend Christina brought this to one of the first Wednesday Night Dinners that Ty and I went to (we made it a vegetarian theme), and Ty actually liked it so much that he had seconds! Win! The recipe uses a non-dairy milk and nutritional yeast-based sauce, and you can throw in whatever veggies and other add-ins as you feel inclined. I plan on tossing in some broccoli, at the very least.
- Potatoes Gratin: Ty picked out this recipe from one of my cookbooks. It's not a creamy dish, and actually seems more like a variation on roasted red potatoes. But looks good, nonetheless!
So, that's what I'm hoping to create. I'm really excited about the linguine (it's been so long!) and the macaroni (since Ty will eat it). I'll probably look forward to the others more once my stomach starts behaving and I get my desire to eat back. Right now, I'm just trying to get enough calories and nutrients into my body so it can heal and start feeling better. (Food poisoning is the culprit, I believe. Yesterday was miserable, but today I've been able to eat more than just saltines, which is an improvement.)
So what about you? Do you have a hard time making and sticking to a meal plan? And what are your favorite go-to meals to cook at home? (Shamelessly trying to boost my inventory, here!)
I agree that menu planning is one of the keys to eating healthy. I am lucky that as time has gone by, Doug has transitioned into eating primarily vegan–it makes meals and cooking a lot easier. I have some standard go-to fall back recipes that I really like, one of them being the cabbage salad from Ali Sergersten's cookbook. We have been eating that as a "side" for a couple of dinners now. (I find that I do increase the cilantro and decrease the olive oil in the dressing though).
I love veggie-based casseroles–quick and easy and versatile. And we tend to always have something fresh and green with every dinner, whether it's just steamed veggies, mixed greens, or something more creative, like sauteed green beans or asparagus. I like a lot of color on my plate! When we are tired and it's a work night, sometimes we'll make falafel pita pockets (using TJS pita bread and frozen falafel) crammed with tomatoes, cucumber, arugula, and the Goddess dressing. Yum! And my husband is a sucker for Gardein "crispy tenders" and tater tots, when he is craving "comfort food," but we don't eat that too often and always add a lot of greenery to the side when we eat it.
I am a sucker for using my favorite veggies as the key ingredients for a main course, and I find myself buying cauliflower, cabbage, arugula, spinach, kale, and carrots at least every weekend. I also stock up on frozen organic veggies for easy cooking, usually green beans and broccoli. I make sure to always have a bag of lemons on hand because you never know when you will need them, and also garlic, onions, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. And I rely heavily on canned beans, (mainly chickpeas–you can do so much with chickpeas!) because they are convenient. One of my other fave things to use is my slowcooker–that is a great way to make a healthy tasty veggie packed meal that is pretty easy. The "Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker Cookbook" is my go-to book for ideas.
This is a fun topic now that you have me thinking about it!
Oooh can you share your mac and cheese recipe? I am always on the hunt for a good one. I have found some that I like a lot, but none that I really absolutely love. And yum about your organic corn on the cob! That sounds really good. I haven't had fresh corn on the cob in awhile.

If Romney loses Ohio and its 18 electoral votes, it is very difficult to win the White House.
This leaves 11 states as battlegrounds, for a total of 151 electoral votes.
The most significant is electoral reform—for decades the Liberals' Holy Grail.
Do we want our electoral system to function like our Senate?
"Transparency is what we need in our electoral system to ensure that every vote does count," True explains.
Court Councillor von Breuning perished in a fire in the electoral palace on January 15, 1777.
In Maryland they divided the electoral vote evenly with their opponents.
The Republican ticket was elected, with 292 electoral votes, as against 155 received by Bryan and Stevenson.
The district is electoral; Askin Morrison, Esq., is the first member.
The result of the election was a division of the electoral votes into four parts and no one received a majority.

After last year's successes, the South Kingstown High baseball team opened their 2013 season with a lot of promise as they took to the field for their opener on Monday in Portsmouth.
The Rebels put their best foot forward as they began their journey back to McCoy Stadium with a 7-0 road victory over Portsmouth.
The Rebels put together more than a solid run in 2012.
After finishing the regular season in second place in the Division I-South standings with a 14-4 record, South tore through the Division I playoffs, recording wins over Pilgrim and Cumberland in the Regional Finals and Final Four, respectively, to earn a birth in the championship round against Bishop Hendricken.
Unfortunately for the SK Nine, the Hendricken pitching staff overpowered the Rebels and the Hawks earned themselves a two game sweep and the 2012 title.
It will be difficult for South Kingstown to live up to their performance last season, and
the Rebels will have to face that uphill battle with a remade team in the field.
"We graduated our whole infield, so whenever you have to plug in a new infield, you never know what to expect," said South Kingstown head coach Jim Sauro of his team heading into the season. "It's like starting from scratch."
His team's play in the field will dictate how successful they are this spring.
All eyes will be on Cameron Meystre and Robert Ballinger up the middle and Zach Tombs and Nathan Vandemoer on the infield corners as they replace last year's finalist defense.
Despite being completely remade and still learning the intricacies of South Kingstown's defensive plays, "The guys seem to have picked it up well, and though we're not perfect, we're improving every day," said Sauro.
"If we make the plays, we should do well."
So far, the Rebels' new look defense seems up for the challenge.
Though the bats came out swinging on Monday, methodically putting up seven runs on 11 hits, it was the Rebels performance in the field that keyed the victory.
Senior pitcher Connor Barrett led the charge, getting the start on the mound and throwing five scoreless innings, striking out three, before giving way to Tom Kazounis, who pitched the final two innings to finish off the shutout. The duo yielded just seven hits and one walk to the Patriots.
"He looked good," commented Sauro on his starter's performance, "mixed up his pitches well and kept the ball down."
With just three strikeouts from his pitching staff, that meant 18 balls ended up in play for Sauro's club, giving his defense a good test to start their season.
A challenge to which they soundly responded, making a play on every ball that came their way.
"Whenever you make every play, you're in for a good game," said the coach.
Moving forward, Sauro does not see the Rebels' new look and inexperience as any reason to temper his expectations towards continuing SK's run of success.
"We take it one step at a time here," remarked the skipper, "but the goals stay pretty high. We look to compete for the division title and go deep into the playoffs every year."
The Rebels will now look to follow up Monday night's win with another as they close out the first week of their season with a game on Thursday afternoon at rival North Kingstown.

My Final Cut Pro (10.1.1), Dreamweaver, HP Scan, Flip4Mac (yeah somewhat outdated anyway) dont work at all after the upgrade, as well as, a host of new issues that this OS has. I have yet to see the pinwheel stop. It is taking forever to do anything. AND I cant get anything but attitude from Apple support! This is junk!
So you refused to read up on compatibility and are now complaining that things don't work. What a surprise. I'm sure that's Apple's fault.
HP products will scan directly from Apple's built-in scanning software. Modern copies of Dreamweaver and FCP work fine. And use HandBrake to convert horrible files into M4V to play in QuickTime.

John Kerry came to the back of the 2004 campaign plane, where some reporters were milling in the aisle.
We were having a mundane conversation about the way we connect our traveling laptop computers with the home office.
The lanky senator from Massachusetts, a candidate for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, asked us somewhat awkwardly what we were talking about. Our answer about our technology seemed equally trivial.
"I don't even use a BlackBerry," Kerry explained of his own lack of knowledge about such matters. "When I want to tell someone what to do, I just call them on the phone."
It sounded, at the time, like an insight into the way a powerful and privileged man does business. He went on, after all, to secure his party's nomination for president in Boston: "John Kerry, reporting for duty."
It's safe to assume that Kerry skipped the Berry and went straight to the iPhone.
It also appears that the career senator, now his home state's senior statesman, stands to achieve a role that he so ambitiously sought eight years ago: Representing the United States of America around the world.
Should President Barack Obama nominate Kerry, by all private accounts the leading contender for Secretary of State now that UN Ambassador Susan Rice has withdrawn her name, the Senate once again will be sending one of its own to the front lines of American diplomacy. Hillary Clinton, a former senator from New York and first lady, is ready to retire the post.
Kerry, a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War who returned home to protest American involvement there, has a long and storied political career. The Swift Boat that he commanded in the rivers of Southeast Asia became the emblematic name for an assault his political adversaries effectively waged against him in the 2004 campaign. George W. Bush, the wartime president, won re-election.
Should Kerry emerge from the roiled political waters of Rice's confrontation with Republican senators as Obama's nominee for the nation's top diplomat, he will immediately face some healing at home. It's not lost on anyone that the architect of Rice's defeat is another senator, John McCain of Arizona, who also sought the presidency — twice. Losing to Obama in 2008, McCain has prevailed in his first contest with a re-elected president in 2012.
Like that "listening tour" that Clinton made during her campaign for Senate, the senior senator from Massachusetts will have to spend as much time hearing out the opposition on Capitol Hill — with Republicans, chiefly McCain, questioning Obama's resolve in foreign theaters such as Syria — as he will in engaging other world leaders.
Less time calling people and telling them what to do.

I'm all alone in a quiet place,
Sunshine streaming down on my face.
It isn't dark but it's light outside,
It's added a hop and a skip to my stride.
'Cause it's warm outside and the birds are singing to me.
It's a happy, lovely, joyous melody.
It smells like springtime, flowers, and rain, and grass,
But soon people start to hurry past.
Why did the moment have to ever end,
Why did the river have to finally bend?
Why does everything right have to go wrong,
Like the lyrics of a depressing song?

Per the Intrawebnets and the Twitter-sphere-verse:
Well, good luck to him. I actually believe that, with the right staff, he would make an impact in the Pac-12.
that I won't have to hear this meme rehearsed too many more thousands of times. The notion that anyone who got as far as RR has not caring about D is ludicrous. Read Bacon; follow what happened for Cripes' sake. He had a GREAT D coordinator in Casteel. He tried to get him here twice. Crikey.
Did the Arizona AD read 3 and Out because he should have?
Anyone want to bet RR pulls out the monkey from the Lion King story about his defense and his time in Ann Arbor?
I wonder if our Pitt transfers are now headed out west.
Here's hoping you become the new power in the Pac 12.
I really wish him the best of luck at Arizona. There is lots of talent out west that he can use.
For his sake he should not hire Tony Gibson because he gets minus all if the points.
A lot of talent, but unfortunately the resources at Arizona aren't great. Until the athletic department steps up its facilities, RR could have some trouble.
With that said, I wish him the best of luck. If he has any assemblance of a defense there, he will do well. Having only to compete with USC in the PAC-12 South will give him a chance to make a BCS bowl in the future.
He did ok with limited resources at WVU.
WVU actually has excellent facilities. Football is king there.
If you read three and out you would have read about the field at salem college that had no grass. Besides, most recruits in ncaa 12 have athletic facilities at very low or least in the interest scale.
Best of luck to Coach R. Hope we meet you again in a bowl someday.
Seems like nothing will come of that but hurt feelings.
It depends on the bowl game.
That would make one HELL of a Rose Bowl.
and I'm happy for him. I'll be rooting for him
Fuck. I can't root for him now. Go Devils!
Go Devils as well. I wish he went anywhere but U of A. Oh well, goodluck except when you play ASU.
I think you mean Go Wildcats!
I'm really glad RR landed at a D1 job with a team I have no problem rooting for. We will never face them outside of the Rose Bowl, and I've never had an interest in the Pac 12 before now. I finally have a team to watch for in the late games.
They are reffering to the instate rivalry.
Good luck to RR. I wish him the best, no hard feelings, k?
First time I've heard about this!!
Can't wait for a Michigan v. Arizona Rose Bowl!
I think it'd be really fun if Arizona eventually deployed a high flying spread offense like Oregon and the two duked it out year in and year out in the Pac-12. Looks like I've got a 2nd team to cheer for!
think they won't??
have a Phil Knight?
no but they have a Phil Mickelson.... not that it's anywhere on the same $$$$$ level.
I predict in his opening press conference he will predict that Rhett will be the future quarterback at Arizona. :-)
I hope he does great out there and that he can get U of A to the Rose Bowl!
For some reason, I think I am permanately scarred from the defenses of RR, and I just cant possibly see him having a good team at AZ.... I will definitely root for him, but I just have nightmares of the beaver stuffed animal in Demen's face...
(However, I'm sure he will do fine there and have some great seasons... Good Luck RR!)
It is also now posted on the University of Arizona, Football website. News conference set for tomorrow. Wish him luck.
You totally could have started a thread with this information..........
Big fan of this move by both parties. Good luck to RR. Im going to enjoy watching Arizona develop into force out in the PAC 12.
If the timeline had been a bit different, maybe it could have even been a QBForce.
I hope he has a happy and stress free time there
If/When he gets that program going, Oregon vs. Arizona will be a fun game to watch.
Is he immediately taking over? Like, he's the coach this upcoming Saturday?
My hunch is no, but it allows Arizona to hit the ground running for recruiting purposes. He gets brought in before the end of the season, recruits know who their coach will be = better chance of class continuity.
What would he accomplish Saturday by standing on the sidelines clueless about the current offense/defense and coaching the team???
Well, I suppose that worked for Paterno.
I really did like him, not as a coach so much, but maybe as like a guy I would want my dad to be friends with.
Arizona is a great program for him. He'll have time to build a program there without the pressures that a place like UM will bring. Plus if he can crack the California and Texas recruiting scenes he can build Arizona into strong program. Great move U of A. His kids should enjoy it out there too.
good luck rich rod, good move by Arizona because Rod is still a great offensive mind. hopefully for his sake he has a defense.
Arizona has still never played in the Rose Bowl, right? Here's hoping we're there as well the first time he takes them.
I wonder who his DC will be...
Annnnnnd we beat the ever living shit out of them if it happens.
No offense, Rich, but, well, Go Blue and all that.
to go to the practice after the Illinois game last year. I went to the practice because I had a meeting with Coach Rod after it was over. We talked in his office for about two hours. He was an awesome guy that just wanted time to get the team ready. I believe he will do good out there. Best of luck to him out there.
Are you a player, reporter, friend?
none of the above. I met some people at lasts years Illinois game that knew him. I was in the military and recieved the purple heart. I presented the purple heart to him to give to the team for all the wounds they were taking in there battles.
Thanks for your service and sacrifice. You are a better man than I could hope to be.
Thank you. No matter how many times people thank me for it, it still means a lot.
Are you a player, reporter, friend?
EDIT: Damn, now after seeing your response I feel like a dick. Good for you, and thank you for your service. I'll leave my comment up to get negged like I deserve.
to neg you. If I had enough points, I would have voted it funny. It took me a minute, then I realized what was said then I busted up laughing.
to "bear down (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Bear_Down )".
Nice guy. Truly wish him the best.

Wednesday September 29, 2010Catch up with the Gators in 2010 Women's Professional Soccer
Gainesville, Fla.
Gainesville, Fla.
Three Gator All-Americans played for Womens Professional Soccer teams this season Stacy Bishop, Heather Mitts and Abby Wambach. Catch up with the Gators below.
Stacy Bishop
Stacy Bishop joined the Atlanta Beat for its inaugural season in 2010 after being acquired as a free agent from the Boston Breakers. She played in 22 matches and started for 18 of them and had one assist. Bishop started her professional career with the Central Florida Krush, where she made 27 appearances and scored nine goals. She began her collegiate career with the LSU Tigers, but transferred to Florida, where she was named an NSCAA All-American (1996), NSCAA Academic All-American in 2006 & 2007 and semi-finalist for the 2007 MAC Hermann Trophy.
Heather Mitts
Fellow US Womens National teammate and Gator All-American Heather Mitts season was plagued with injuries, but she did appear in 17 matches this season for the Philadelphia Independence, including the WPS Championship match on Sept. 26. Mitts is an active member of the US Womens National Team and competed in the 2010 Algarve Cup. She has also won two gold medals with the U.S. Olympics squad, at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and in 2004 in Athens. As a Gator, she was an all-time leader in games played, starts and minutes played and was a member of four consecutive SEC title teams (1996-99). She helped the team claim the 1998 NCAA Championship and earned NSCAA All-America honors in her final two seasons (1998 and 1999). Mitts began her professional career in 2000 with the Tampa Bay Extreme of the W-League before joining the newly formed Womens United Soccer Association.
Abby Wambach
In her career with the Washington Freedom, Abby Wambach has been a key player for her team and in womens soccer. Wambach, the Freedoms captain, finished second in the league this season in goals (13) and shared second in assists (8). As the top vote-getter in the WPS All-Star lineup, she was captain of the Abby XI team against the Marta XI team in the 2010 WPS All-Star game. She has also been a regular on the US Womens National Team since 2003 and is the third-highest scorer for the team, with more than 100 goals in international play. She scored a goal in the final match of the 2010 Algarve Cup in Portugal this spring to propel the US Womens National Team to a 3-2 win over Germany. She also scored a game-winning goal against Brazil in overtime at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, leading the team to a gold medal. As a four-year starter for the Gators, Wambach set numerous records and was a member of the 1998 NCAA Championship team. She was the first soccer player in league history to receive the SEC Player of the Year award two consecutive seasons (2000 and 2001) and earned NSCAA All-America first-team honors in 1999 and 2001. She was the second overall pick in the 2002 draft for the now-defunct WUSA league and named Rookie of the Year in 2002.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, October 23, 2003--Templeton Emerging Markets Fund (NYSE: EMF) today announced a year-end dividend from net investment income of $0.2119 per share, payable on November 21, 2003 to shareholders of record on November 6, 2003 (Ex-Dividend Date: November 4, 2003).
Under the enacted "Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003" a portion of the ordinary income distribution may qualify for a new, lower 15% tax rate (5% for those in the lowest income tax bracket).

The actual percentage of the ordinary income distribution that qualifies for a reduced rate may differ from this estimate. In January 2004, shareholders will receive Form 1099-DIV which will report the amount and character of the Fund's distribution and the actual amount of qualifying dividends distributed during the calendar year 2003. Shareholders are advised to check with their tax advisors for information on the treatment of these amounts on their individual income tax returns.
The Fund's investment adviser, Templeton Asset Management Ltd., is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. (NYSE: BEN), a global investment organization operating as Franklin Templeton Investments. Franklin Templeton Investments provides global and domestic investment management services through its Franklin, Templeton, Mutual Series and Fiduciary Trust subsidiaries.

I setup a one way trust so that A trusts B.
Domain A has shares that users in Domain B need to access.
I am able to assign rights on shares in domain A to global groups and universal groups in domain B.
When I try to map a drive from Domain B user to Domain A resource, I get the following: "System error 86. Specified network password not correct."
When I try to setup conditional forwarders on each DNS server for each domain, I get "the server with this IP address is not authoritative for the required zone." But it actually is!

McDonald's marriage: 10 strange wedding spots
Posted: July 15, 2013|
Every couple wants to put on a unique wedding. And a pair of Bristol lovebirds are doing just that, by holding their reception at McDonald's.
Steven Asher, 27, and Emily Marshall, 20, decided to mark the start of their new life together at the bride's favourite place to eat.
As the pair prepare to celebrate amid Big Macs and milkshakes, we round up some of the most weird and wonderful places couples have tied the knot:
Underwater wedding
Related content
An American couple who first met in a dive class commemorated their marriage by tying the knot underwater.
The couple rented a glass-bottomed boat in Florida and had part of the wedding onboard, then put on their dive gear and descended to finish the ceremony underwater.
The newlyweds told Offbeatbride: "People don't always react well initially when they hear about a wedding that is outside what they consider a 'regular' wedding. Those are the same people who said to us later how great they thought it was that we did something so unique and special."
Bargain bride
Most of us love a good bargain. But one bride was such a huge fan of the US version of TK Maxx she chose the store as the location for her wedding.
Lisa Satayut exchanged vows with partner Drew Ellis in the shoe aisle of the central Michigan department store.
A widened aisle, vine-covered arch and white chairs with red bows featured in the 'traditional' ceremony, which included string music.
Fellow shoppers stopped mid-bargain hunt to watch.
Mid-air wedding
The marriage of British couple Darren McWalters and Katie Hodgson got off to a flying start when the pair said 'I do' mid-air in 2011.
Each strapped to a stunt plane, the lovebirds were married by a vicar who stood on an aircraft in front of them.
The pair, who met in 2005, had to exchange vows in a nearby register office first, because the airborne ceremony at Rendcombe would not have been legally recognised.
They were linked by an airborne communications system which also relayed the 30-minute ceremony to friends and family on the ground.
Wedding on wheels
Many couples like to hit the road straight after the wedding, with their 'just married' sign in tow. But others have opted to kill two birds with one stone by getting hitched mid-drive.
Shelbyville Illinois Reverend Darrell Best turned a 1942-edition American La France fire engine into a mini chapel on wheels.
The holy matrimony ride is complete with stained glass windows, pipe organ and even an altar. The fire engine fits a bride, groom, best man and maid of honour.
Bungee-jump bride
Love was truly in the air when a Belgian couple bungee-jumped from 160 feet immediately after saying 'I do'.
The thrill-seeking lovebirds were hoisted up on a platform accompanied by 20 guests, strapped into chairs, with their legs dangling mid-air.
The couple, Jeroen and Sandra Kippers from Brussels, Belgium, then became the world's first couple to get married mid-air by flinging themselves off the end of the aisle.
The bride wore white while the groom dressed in black. But April Pignataro and Michael Curry's wedding was anything but traditional, as they tied the knot in a shark tank.
In June 2010 the New York coupled donned white and black wetsuits before climbing inside a 120,000 gallon shark tank to take their vows at Atlantis Marine World in Riverhead.
Both experienced divers, the lovers were protected by a cage as sand sharks, nurse sharks, eels and a giant grouper circled them.
They wore scuba gear and microphones that broadcasted their words to one other, as well as to friends and family.
Zero gravity nuptials
A pair of space fanatics had a wedding out of this world when they tied the knot floating in zero gravity.
Noah Fulmor and Erin Finnegan exchanged vows at the Kennedy Space Centre, in an aircraft that can simulate weightlessness similar to a spaceship in orbit.
The groom offered the floating bride a ring made of fragments from a meteorite that crashed into the Earth 30,000 years ago, in a ceremony which guests each had to pay £3,250 to attend.
"Noah wanted to get married in space but we probably won't be able to afford it for another 25 to 50 years - so I suggested this as a compromise," the bride said.
Mount Everest marriage
'Ain't no mountain high enough' for Nepalese couple Moni Mule Pati and Pem Dorjee Sherpa, who in 2005 tied the knot at the top of Mount Everest.
After the gruelling climb they took off their oxygen masks for 10 minutes and put plastic garlands on their heads, while the groom, in accordance with local tradition, put red powder on the head of the bride.
They couple, the first to marry at the top of Mount Everest, later organised a traditional wedding for their friends and family.
The lovebirds, fearing they would follow couples before them who had tried but failed to reach the peak, kept their wedding plans secret.
Love stinks
A couple who first laid eyes on one another at a rubbish tip honoured their marriage by getting hitched at the same dumping ground.
Dave Hart and Rockie Graham exchanged vows at Bethel Transfer Station, Vermont, in 2003, in front of 250 guests who stood on either side of a red carpet laid in the middle of the tip.
A guitarist reportedly sang a tune he composed for the couple: "I hope you won't dump me when we marry, or toss me out like a bag of trash, I wouldn't want your burning love to turn to ash."
Big Mac bride
Bristol couple Steven and Emily aren't the only ones to have celebrated their wedding with Ronald McDonald.
In 2006 Ohio bride Trisha Lynn Esteppe exchanged vows with Tyree Henderson in the McDonald's restaurant where they met.
The lovebirds, who met while on the job three years earlier, were married by the Reverend James Hartman who said his first fast-food wedding was "just wonderful".

I woke up this morning, sat in front of the idiot box and on the news was our own Nancy Pelosi, telling her colleagues to "embrace the suck" regarding their having to stay overnight to hash out the budget.
Just imagine. The President has stated more than once that he looks forward to seeing her retake her position as House Speaker after the midterms.
That thought is enough to lose sleep over, some nights.edit on 14-12-2013 by Wrabbit2000 because: (no reason given)

I hope they "embraced the suck" for one night, while we are left to suffer a lifetime from the choices they make while pulling an all nighter. Poor babies, someone schedule them a massage!

For the 1000th time dont worry about weather.
Phuket is fine if u want colourful nightlife. Otherwise.just fo krabi.
Flights r dirt cheap.
Pattaya is great if u want cheap women and dont mind dirty city and beach.
If i was doing something like this i would just.do bangkok, cm and krabi. Spend less time travelling.
Samui and pattaya r a long way apart. Flights to samui r more expensive than anywhere else.in thailand.

May and June mark the onset of the wet season on Thailand's Andaman Coast (so that covers Phuket , Krabi etc). May, June and July see, on average, 20 days with rain per month. It generally won't be all day torrential rain, but you should expect some rain, most days. On Phuket the saes are also very rough and not so great for swimming -- though you can get a wave if you surf.
The primary upside is cheaper hotel deals -- and you will get some days of great sunshine.
Samui sees better weather at the same time of the year, though they also get some rain.
If it was me, I'd skip Phuket and Krabi and instead see Ko Samui and/or Ko Pha Ngan and perhaps a mainland town, like Prachuap Khiri Khan or Ban Krut .
I wouldn't bother with Pattaya, but depends on your interests etc. Kanchanaburi is considerably more interesting.
As for travel logistics:
Sort out your train ticket upon arrival - booking a couple of days in advance should be ok as you're travelling in low season. If you're not fussed about flying, I'd do night train both ways to Chiang Mai and a night train down to Surat Thani (for Samui) and back. If you're happy to fly then Nok Air, Air Asia, Thai and Bangkok Airways all fly the routes you're looking at and, with some carefiul shopping will be cheaper than a night train.
While you can fly to Pattaya (airport is called Utaphao) the airport is miles from Pattaya and you'll most likely get a better fare to either of Bangkok's airports and then get a bus to Pattaya.

Liquid Diet: How to Stock Your Pantry with Boozy Condiments
Thanks to collaborations with chefs and artisanal food producers, some of the best condiments now come from domestic wineries and craft breweries.
Welcome to Liquid Diet, where Christopher Hughes finds the extraordinary stories behind the people and places that quench the thirst of the Boston area.
Photo by Scott M. Lacey for Boston magazine.Â
T.G.I. Friday's and Jack Daniels can have each other. Thanks to collaborations with chefs and artisanal food producers like Brooklyn Brine Co. and Carlsbad Gourmet, some of the best brines, sauces, and vinegars are now coming from domestic wineries and craft breweries. Ahead, find some of the tastiest examples to liven up everything from salads to buffalo wings to beef ribs, all while pairing beautifully with whatever you're imbibing.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Honey Spice Mustard: This isn't one of those neon honey mustards that come complimentary with fast food nuggets. Instead, this mild, vaguely sweet mustard is a great alternative to Dijon. (Craft Beer Cellar, $4)
Bar Harbor Real Ale Stone Ground Mustard: Made from mustard seeds marinated in Bar Harbor's Real Ale, an English Brown Ale, this will put some pep into boring corned beef and other deli classics.  (Craft Beer Cellar, $5.75)
Stone Brewing Hot Sauces: This San Diego brewery openly mocks the timid and uninitiated, so it comes as no surprise that their line of hot sauces would be anything but assertive. With escalating heat on the Scoville Scale, there's the Arrogant Bastard Ale Jalapeno Heat Hot Sauce, their Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale Chipotle Hot Sauce with appealing hints of vanilla and molasses, and the Double Bastard Double Burn Habanero for all those fire-loving masochists. (Craft Beer Cellar $6 each/3-pack, $18)
Ipswich Ale Brewery Stone Ground Mustard: Handcrafted at Raye's Mustard Mill in Eastport, Maine, this offers good mustard bite with just a whiff of sweetness from Ipswich's Oatmeal Stout. (Craft Beer Cellar, $4.50)
Old Chub Beer-Infused Cayenne Hot Sauce: Lyons, Colorado's Oskar Blues teamed up with Danny Cash Hot Sauces to create this cayenne and scotch ale infused hot sauce. The malty, smoky quality goes well with pulled pork tacos or barbecue brisket. (Craft Beer Cellar, $6)
Mama's Little Yella Pils Hot Sauce: Another winner from the craft can revolutionary. This milder Serrano hot sauce is infused with their sessionable, biscuity German-style pilsner. The ramped up heat and the herbal notes from the Saaz hops are a nice alternative to pungent mustards for Brats and other sausages. (Craft Beer Cellar, $6)
Baxter Brewing Co. Spicy Mustard: Maine's Baxter Brewing Co. teamed up with Mother's Mountain in Falmouth to make this spicy mustard infused with Pamola Xtra Pale Ale. This is a much more tolerable alternative to Chinese hot mustard. So save yourself the tears and use this as an accompaniment for egg rolls or to spice up roast beef. (Craft Beer Cellar, $4.50)
Dale's Pale Ale Chipotle Hot Sauce: Oskar Blues' signature beer is blended with chipotle peppers creating a perfect balance of tang, heat, and smoke that just screams for chicken. Slather it on an oven-roasted bird or fry up some wings and use it in place of Buffalo sauce. (Craft Beer Cellar, $6)
Sierra Nevada Stout and Stone Ground Mustard: I'm a sucker for coarse, stone-ground mustard and this is one of the finest examples I've tried. This multiple-award winning mustard has a ton of bold flavor with just the slightest hint of Sierra Nevada's rich stout in the background. It would be fantastic in German potato salad or with other winter root vegetables. (Craft Beer Cellar, $4)
Dogfish Head Hop Pickle: Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione was sipping on a 60 Minute IPA and munching on pickles from Brooklyn Brine Co. when he had an epiphany. He immediately called up Brooklyn's Shamus Jones and Calagione embarked on another hugely successful collaboration. This fresh, earthy pickle is the result of a brine bath which includes 60 Minute IPA, caramelized onions, and Cascade hop oil. These pickles are great solo or chopped up for the most delicious chicken salad imaginable. (Dave's Fresh Pasta, $9)
Brother Thelonious Beer Brittle: Who says beer and sweets don't go together? North Coast Brewing in Fort Bragg, California blended their Belgian-style dark strong ale with peanut brittle batter to create this highly addictive treat. Produced in connection with the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, a share of the proceeds is donated to helping international jazz educational programs. Jazz greats Herbie Hancock and Jimmy Heath are known to be huge fans of this salty, sweet beer concoction. (www.northcoastbrewing.com, $10)
Sea Dog Beer Mustard: Shipyard Brewing in Maine blended their Oktoberfest lager with Raye's famous stoneground mustard to create the perfect dipping partner for veggies and pretzels. (Craft Beer Cellar, $5.75)
Bonny Doon Verjus de Cigare: Eccentric winemaker and noted Francophile Randall Grahm has made a delicious verjus or "green juice" from white Grenache grapes. This whole-cluster pressed, unfermented grape must is refreshingly tart and can be substituted for vinegar or lemons in vinaigrettes or to deglaze pans for sauces. Also, try it as a mixer in a cocktail with gin, club soda, fresh mint, and honey. An opened bottle will last for three weeks in the fridge. (Central Bottle, $15)
Stone Brewing Co. Barbecue Sauces: Stone's founder Greg Koch and the folks at nearby Carlsbad Gourmet created three distinctive barbecue sauces for any type of ribs or, if you're feeling lethargic, as a savory dipping sauce to fried chicken tenders. There's the Smoked Porter and Pasilla Pepper sauce, a barbecue sauce infused with Stone's Levitation amber ale, and a hoppy Levitation IPA blended with curry and yellow mustard. (The Spirited Gourmet, $7 per bottle)
B.R. Cohn Vinegars: Sonoma's B.R. Cohn creates some of the most delicious, reasonably priced cab and chard in the region. By allowing some of this juice to sit and oxidize, they've created some of the best store-bought vinegars, too. Don't limit yourself to salad dressings, throw it on top of kale or rainbow chard or use to make a beautiful Bernaise sauce. (www.shop.brcohn.com, $10 a bottle)

More than $ 36,000 was raised during the first WalkN-Roll for Spina Bifida held June 22 at Sterling State Park.
About 250 people representing more than 20 teams took part in the inaugural fundraiser to benefit the Spina Bifida Association of Michigan, which supports families affected by the life- threatening birth defect.
Spina bifida is the most commonly occurring permanently disabling birth defect in the nation.
One of the teams participating was Kruzel's Crusaders, named after Kendra Kruzel of Luna Pier, who will be a freshman at Mason High School this fall and is afflicted with spina bifida.
The team of more than 60 people raised nearly $ 4,400, said Angie Kruzel, Kendra's mother and one of the organizers of the WalkN-Roll.
" We were just going to have a community walk at Mason, but decided to move it (to the state park)," Ms. Kruzel said. "All of the money from our team will stay in Monroe County."
Her other daughter, Kristen, 9, also took part in the walk.
More information about the walk is available at www. walknrollforsb. org/ mi, while information about spina bifida and the association is available at www.sbaofmi.org.

Investors considering taking a stake in Twitter have been quick to recall the Facebook IPO in May 2012, which was, by all accounts, a debacle. / File / Associated Press
It is official: Twitter will become a public company next week through an initial public offering of stock.
Twitter can be described as a social networking or microblogging service, but, at its core, Twitter is a communication service. Users can send and receive text messages limited to 140 characters. These small bursts of information are called tweets. According to its SEC filing, as of June 2013, Twitter had 218 million users sending 400 million tweets a day. Like other social media sites, Twitter is a free service and relies on advertising revenue to generate profits.
Investors considering taking a stake in Twitter have been quick to recall the Facebook IPO in May 2012, which was, by all accounts, a debacle. The first day of trading was a disaster, involving a delayed opening, trading glitches and an underwhelming move of share price. There was so much investor demand for Facebook that the initial target price increased from a low of $28 per share to the initial offering price of $38 per share, valuing Facebook at $104 billion, the largest value in history of a newly public company. The stock opened for trading at $42.05 and closed on the first day at $38.23, not the spectacular run investors were hoping for and it only got worse. Shares of Facebook traded below $18 per share in early September 2012 and did not trade above the initial public offering price of $38 per share until July 31, 2013. The stock has recently been trading between $46 and $52 per share. Clearly, early investors in Facebook have had a rocky ride.
Given this recent IPO experience with Facebook, it is no wonder that there is significantly less demand for Twitters IPO. Investors who want to own shares of Twitter seem to be more cautious and patient. The stock exchanges are also exercising more discipline. The New York Stock Exchange conducted a test run last Saturday of Twitters first trading day as it strives to avoid the problems incurred by rival exchange Nasdaq with the Facebook IPO. Brokers participated in the test by placing massive volumes of mock orders to buy and sell the shares. The NYSE declared the test run a success.
Seeking profitability
Twitters initial public offering price is expected to be set Wednesday with trading beginning as early as Thursday on the NYSE under the ticker trading symbol TWTR. Twitter plans to sell 70 million shares. The initial price range is $17 to $20 per share. At the midpoint of that range, the offering would raise about $1.3 billion and would value Twitter around $10 billion. Insiders at the company and early large investors would still control more than half of Twitters stock after the initial public offering.
Twitter is a relatively young company, as founder Jack Dorsey sent out the first-ever tweet in March 2006. Since then, the company has grown and expanded its presence all around globe but has yet to reach the financial milestone of profitability. According to recent filings, Twitter more than doubled its third-quarter revenue to $168.6 million, but net losses widened to $64.6 million in the September quarter.
IPOs can provide opportunity for investors and they certainly provide interesting financial theater. But wise investors will seek advice from their financial advisers about the risks and potential returns of any investment relative to their personal goals and objectives.
