Alex Avila is a selective hitter, but too often gets into counts that favor the pitcher. (Robin Buckson / Detroit News)
Detroit � Before we get to this week's Tigers Mailbag, I just wanted to remind readers that there's still time to enter the 2014 Detroit News Tigers Over-Under Contest.
We've compiled a list of fun � but not-bettable � prop bets, one for every Tiger and then some.
Just make your picks, and who knows: You could walk away with a sweet prize at the end of the year, like Caro's Larry Brown, who won the 2013 contest and took home a Miguel Cabrera autographed baseball � which he's kindly passing on to his grandson.
Already this year, there have been 1,000-plus entries. You have until noon Friday to get in on the fun. As always, it's free to enter.
Just go here or email me to learn more.
With that, time to see what's on Tigers fans' minds this week.
Question: Why are the Detroit sportswriters treating Alex Avila with kid gloves? Avila is a nice guy, but when was the last time you saw him throw anyone out at second base or third base? � Court Jester
Answer: This is becoming an increasingly popular question, and make no mistake: It's definitely caught the Tigers' attention, too.
The last couple years as he struggled, it was easy to blame it on one ailment or another. But for the first time in what seems like forever, Avila is completely healthy � yet, again is off to a seriously sluggish start at the plate. He's looking much like the Avila of the first half of 2013, appearing somewhat lost every at-bat, and seemingly in a big hole each time up.
Part of this is Avila's approach. That's his game. He sees a lot of pitches. Interestingly, that used to drive former manager Jim Leyland nuts, because Leyland thought he could do some damage with many of the border-line pitches he lets go on through to the catcher's mitt. Leyland was thrilled in last year's ALCS when Avila jumped on a rare first pitch, and hit a home run. But on a whole, it's not just not Avila's game. I remember him telling me last spring, in a clubhouse in Dunedin, "I don't swing at balls."
But there's a fine line in being passive and patient. A hitter's end result is, on a whole, much better on an 0-0 pitch than an 0-2 pitch, but Avila's approach too often puts him deep in a pitcher-advantage count. So far this season, he has just a single in 12 plate appearances, though he has drawn six walks.
The defense is a whole other issue. Four runners have tried stealing on Avila this year, and all four have made it safely. Last season, Avila threw out just 17 percent of would-be base stealers � down from 30 percent the year before, and 32 percent the year before that. Only some of this is on the pitchers � particularly Anibal Sanchez, Rick Porcello and several Tigers relievers, who can be slow to the plate.
Clearly, it's been a steep falloff for a guy who, back in 2011, was the American League's starting catcher in the All-Star Game.
That's not to say he still doesn't add value, however. He calls a great game, so Tigers pitchers really like throwing to him � and, frankly, it shows in the numbers. With Avila last year, opponents batted .232, almost 30 points lower than if Brayan Pena, Bryan Holaday or Victor Martinez was catching.
That's not to be ignored. Then again, nor should his fading offense, which is a concern � and why Avila's 2015 contract is a team option that automatically vests only if he reaches some pretty lofty kickers.
Question: Just how much of a dumpster fire is the Tigers bullpen right now? Can it even be fixed at this point? � PK (Tigerfan_PJK)
Answer: It's not good, PK. But I also am not nearly convinced the situation is as dire as fans think. And my opinion hasn't changed, even after word this week that Evan Reed is being investigated on sexual-assault claims. It remains important to note, he hasn't been charged with anything.
I seem to recall the Tigers bullpen being a major concern each of the three previous seasons, and that didn't stop them from advancing to three consecutive AL championship series, and one World Series.
Reason why? Bullpen's can be quick fixes.
If Phil Coke and/or Joba Chamberlain don't work out � and let's be honest, those are the two biggest question marks down there � the Tigers will have other options.
For starters, there is significant depth in the Tigers� minor leagues. In fact, there's more bullpen depth than for any other area of potential need. Two names are at the top of that list: Melvin Mercedes, the Bruce Rondon lookalike who has good swing-and-miss stuff at Triple A, and Corey Knebel, the fast-tracked prospect who's pitching at Double A � when the SeaWolves aren't getting rained out.
Then there are a handful of guys on the 40-man roster who could help, including just-acquired Mike Belfiore, Justin Miller, Jose Ortega, Casey Crosby and Kyle Lobstein. Then there's Blaine Hardy, who opened eyes in spring training, plus the comeback bid of Nate Robertson.
Not all of those guys will pan out this season � but one or two could. And that might be the difference. Remember, too, there's always the possibility of a summer trade. Bullpen help, after all, is the least-expensive commodity on the market.
The Tigers bullpen, certainly, remains a work in progress. And progress, still, remains possible.
Question: Do you think the Tigers should have kept Jhonny Peralta? And would you re-sign or trade away Max Scherzer? � Ryan (GoTigers414)
Answer: That's two questions. Getting a little needy there, Ryan. But we'll let it slide.
No. 1: Sure, the Tigers would be thrilled to have Jhonny Peralta right now � their starting shortstop, Jose Iglesias, is likely to miss the season, and his two replacements are less than ideal. Alex Gonzalez should hit OK but not field all that well, while Andrew Romine has a slick glove but almost no bat.
But remember, Peralta received $52 million to play for the Cardinals � more money than anyone could've imagined. It completely fooled the Tigers, who were so convinced he might've signed a $14.1 million qualifying offer, they declined to offer him one, and then weren't able to receive a draft pick when he signed elsewhere.
The Tigers, obviously, were never going to pay Peralta that. Neither, frankly, would 28 other teams.
No. 2: Given that it's not my money, sure, sign Max Scherzer. I mean, who wouldn't love the idea of a rotation of Justin Verlander-Scherzer-Anibal Sanchez for the next five to 10 years? But it's a far trickier decision for the Tigers, who can't possibly be OK committing a combined $90 million or more a year to just three players (Verlander, Miguel Cabrera, Scherzer) for the foreseeable future. That, potentially, would severely handcuff them from improving other areas of the ballclub.
That said, I also can't see him being dealt. The Tigers are going for a World Series, and the odds of them getting there are amazingly better with Scherzer than without him.
I've said it for over a year now: I seem him staying a Tiger all of 2014, then departing in free-agency � when the Tigers, at least, will receive a prime draft pick as compensation.
Question: Who are your top three AL pitchers? In order. � Daniel Tallant (Dan_Tallant)
Answer: Good question, Daniel, with no easy answer.
The American League is loaded with quality arms. Now, I assume you're talking starting pitchers, so that's where I'll stick.
Mariners ace Felix Hernandez, after a fair amount of deliberation, is atop my list. He's so consistent, and would get far more love if a) his team were any good, and b) he didn't make most of his starts while the rest of the country was sound asleep.
After that, it's much trickier. Despite last year's down year (for him), Verlander comes in second for me. Given how good he looked this spring, I'd actually be a bit stunned if he didn't with another Cy Young this season.
Then, at No. 3, I'm cheating � and including three guys, each of whom doesn't have a long enough track record to warrant a higher ranking: Scherzer, Yu Darvish of the Rangers and Chris Sale of the White Sox.
Question: Two questions, Tony: What's keyed Torii Hunter's recent hot streak, and what's your favorite Billy Joel song? � Tony Ortiz (ajortiz3)
Answer: Another two-parter.
First: Obviously, Hunter been a beast, so far, at the plate. (While no beauty on defense.)
A lot of that is the situation he's been in. He's just happened to come to the plate with men on and work himself into fastball counts. And Hunter hasn't missed those fastballs � belting home runs in each of the three games in the Orioles series, to go with a bases-clearing double.
Then there's the more obvious answer: Pitchers would much rather attack Hunter than the guy who is looming on deck.
"Anybody in this country who plays baseball, even Little League, would love to hit in front of Miguel Cabrera," Hunter said the other day, with a big smile.
Second: Tough call for a big Billy Joel fan, but I always come back to "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant."

Tom West's Custom PC77 PumpMaster Classic Short Rifle

I am finished!

Crosman Forum Member

Response to
Today my 2289 pump grip, Mellon Air power adjuster and 18" Mellon Air barrel arrived!
I pulled the 24" barrel off and installed all the new goodies.
After some initial problems with the power adjuster (basically I put the top screw in too far which impeded the spring) I was able to get it to dump
all the air at 15 pumps.
Now with 10 pumps it does 550-562 fps with 14.3 grain pellets. So a high of 10.03 fpe.
With 15 pumps it was 596-613fps. High of 11.93 fpe.
So basically the power adjuster itself gave me a fpe increase even though I decreased the barrel length from 24" to 18".
Note I have a TKO muzzle brake on there as well which people say cuts 10-15 fps (never measured).
My transfer port seal could use some work as I noticed it's a bit bent from all my swapping and manhandling. It's actually a thin bit of (brass? copper?) tubing with some poly tube around it. I believe I got it from a Green forum member sometime ago-- I can't quite remember
I imagine if I replace it I'd gain a few fps.
The extra power is nice, but the biggest thing I noticed is that this thing is DEAD ON now! I always thought that 24" barrel wasn't the most accurate thing out there which was why I didn't keep it on a 2240 a few years back. The Mellon Air barrel shoots GREAT!
Other than
tweaking the transfer port itself and the seal, I think I'm done-- the gun shoots great, is quiet and with the 2289 pump handle is much more comfortable to pump.
Thanks everybody for the advice.

FILE - In this Feb. 13, 2012, file photo, demonstrators protest outside of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals after a panel heard oral arguments in San Francisco in a lawsuit seeking to overturn Proposition 209, which barred racial, ethnic or gender preferences in public education, employment and contracting. As the Supreme Court revisits the use of race in college admissions in October 2012, critics of affirmative action are hopeful the justices are poised to roll back the practice. A new report out Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2012 offers a big reason for their optimism: evidence the nine states where leading public universities don't use affirmative action have succeeded in bringing diversity to their campuses through race-neutral means.

WASHINGTON - Racial preferences in college admissions usually are viewed as a boon to minorities at the expense of whites. But when the Supreme Court takes up Fisher v. University of Texas on Wednesday, one of the arguments it may hear is that for some minority students, affirmative action is quite negative.
A number of academics, and even some members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, argue that by giving black and Hispanic students a leg up, the nation's premier universities often set them up for failure when a less competitive school would offer the better chance for success.

Against "Against Cyberanarchy"
David G. Post
It makes me indignant when I hear a work Blamed not because it's crude or graceless but Only because it's new …
Had the Greeks hated the new the way we do, Whatever would have been able to grow to be old?
Horace, The Epistles, II, I
(David Ferry, Trans.)
Professor Jack Goldsmith's "Against Cyberanarchy" 1 has become one of the most influential articles in the cyberspace law canon. The position he sets forth—what I call "Unexceptionalism"—rests on two main premises. The first is that activity in cyberspace is "functionally identical to transnational activity mediated by other means" (e.g., "mail or telephone or smoke signal"). The second is that, as a consequence of this functional identity, the "settled principles" and "traditional legal tools" of the international lawyer are fully capable of handling all jurisdictional and choice-of-law problems in cyberspace—that the "choice-of-law problems implicated by cyberspace are not significantly different from those [of] noncyberspace conflicts," and that we therefore need make no special provision for these problems when they arise in cyberspace.
I beg, in what follows, to differ. I remain an unrepentant Exceptionalist. Communication in cyberspace is not "functionally identical" to communication in real space—at least, not in ways relevant to the application of the choice-of-law and jurisdictional principles under discussion, nor can the jurisdictional and choice-of-law dilemmas posed by cyberspace activity be adequately resolved by applying the "settled principles" and "traditional legal tools" developed for analogous problems in real space.

It's time to play the music. It's time to light the lights. It's time to meet "The Muppets" for the first time in over 10 years. Everyone's favorite felt friends are back in a big-screen reboot brought to life mostly on behalf of the hard work of lifelong Muppet fan Jason Segel.
The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. (You can see our own rave here.) Critics have praised the return of the Muppets as fun, warm, family-friendly fare, true to the characters and the fans who have loved them for decades.
Check out our roundup of the reviews.
The Story
"A clever idea holds this reboot together, as simple as making one brother (Gary, played by Segel) human and the other (Walter, voiced by Peter Linz) a Muppet in love with the Muppets legacy. (He sports a Kermit wristwatch.) The locale is Smalltown, USA, which Gary and Walter introduce to us in the opening number, 'Life's a Happy Song.' Gary, his schoolteacher sweetheart Mary (Amy Adams) and Walter journey to Los Angeles for a vacation. Touring the old Muppet Studios facility, the trio learn of the plan to raze the historically significant and sentimentally priceless structure. There's oil under the ground, see, and the weaselly millionaire (Chris Cooper) after it doesn't give a Gonzo's patoot about nostalgia. To preserve the old homestead the visitors must gather together the Muppets from various locales and raise $10 million in a save-the-Muppets telethon." — Michael Phillips, The Chicago Tribune
The Songs
"The setup works like a charm. So do the songs, with several new ones by ["Flight of the Conchords"] star Bret McKenzie. Adams rocks out on 'Me Party.' And Segel's heartfelt ballad 'Man or Muppet?' deserves Academy attention as the movie song of the year." — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The Comeback
"As a theatrical troupe, the Muppets haven't exactly been AWOL these past dozen years; the gang rocked YouTube in 2009 with their kick-ass rendition of Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' But they've certainly been lying low while our twitchy, tweet-y times have favored snarkier, more air-quote-driven entertainment, even from puppets. And in a way, that showbiz hiatus has worked in favor of The Muppets. For adults, the movie's gentle, clever, unironic humor feels freshly, trendily retro now, enhanced by laughs provided in cameos from a very up-to-date roster of stars." — Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
The Muppets
"These are the same old, adorable Muppets, as sweetly innocent and likable as ever. Winking at itself, the movie is casually, amusingly self-reflexive. In one joke Kermit the Frog considers telephoning President Carter. 'The Muppets' makes no attempt to match the wisecracking hipness of the 'Shrek' movies. If it doesn't provoke belly laughs, it elicits many affectionate chuckles." — Stephen Holden, The New York Times
The Final Word
"The remarkable thing about the Muppets, then and now, is what distinctive personalities and presences they have. When 'The Muppet Movie,' the first in the series, came out in 1979, there was astonishment that — ohmigod! — Kermit was riding a bicycle! How could a Muppet do that? Today, characters can do anything in the movies, but these Muppets are still played by Muppeteers, and they're still endearing." — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Top Five Most-Read Phoenix News Stories of the Week
In case you missed any news action this week, we've got you covered.
Here's our recap of the most-read news stories of the week:
5.) Jan Brewer Not Running for Third Term
As expected, Governor Jan Brewer will not be seeking a third term in office.
Although the Arizona Constitution prohibits a governor from holding that office "for more than two consecutive terms," Brewer has been insisting for several years now that she might be able to run for a third term. She announced today at an elementary school in Glendale that she won't be pursuing that term.

4.) Waiter Shot a Cook in the Head at Phoenix Chinese Restaurant, Police Say
A waiter at a Chinese restaurant shot a cook in the head Sunday afternoon, police say.
According to court documents obtained by New Times, there were at least 15 people eating in the Good China restaurant, near 67th Avenue and Thomas Road when 33-year-old waiter David Ong shot a cook who was at work in the kitchen.

3.) White Man March Comes to Tempe Town Lake March 15, Um, Maybe
Well, let's hope they don't jump in, 'cause crackers get soggy when wet, but something called the White Man March may be coming to Tempe Town Lake this Saturday, March 15, at 2 p.m.
I know what you're thinking: "White Man March? Where's the gun show this time?"
But seriously, this is supposedly some nationwide ofay hootenanny organized online by a Massachusetts fella named Kyle Hunt, whom you can read all about in a blog post by Village Voice writer Anna Merlan.

2.) Phoenix Bucket List: 100 Things to Do in Phoenix Before You Die
A funny thing happened in 2013. Both of us -- two curmudgeonly writers who between us have lived in Arizona way closer to 100 years than either would like to admit -- came to a shared conclusion.
We like Phoenix.
That's funny because for years we've loved to hate this place -- even as we wrote dozens of entries for Best of Phoenix, reviewed plays, covered the art scene, and investigated politicians. (True, Amy's always maintained there's nothing more fun than picking the low-hanging fruit at the Arizona Legislature.)

Why is my timing light marks in the wrong place its no where near the timing marker.

Is it running? As far as it being off, moving the distributor will change the timing to get it to the right place. However, if it isn't running, you will need to retime the ignition.

Colts, Peyton Manning working on deal
Updated: February 24, 2011, 12:07 AM ETAssociated Press
INDIANAPOLIS -- Bill Polian says negotiations between the Indianapolis Colts and Peyton Manning are progressing.
Just don't expect the two sides to cut a deal this weekend.
"I would say we are simply moving ahead at a steady pace, but nothing is imminent," the Colts' president told The Associated Press after meeting with the NFL's competition committee Wednesday.
The competition committee is meeting in Indianapolis as part of the NFL scouting combine, which opens Thursday.

Does anyone know if the included Video player on any firmware version
will play .srt and/or .smi subtitle files?
If not, is there any Homebrew app that will?
Does anyone know if the included Video player on any firmware version
will play .srt and/or .smi subtitle files?
If not, is there any Homebrew app that will?
At the moment, No.
Using the current available Firmware and Homebrew software there is no way to have externally filed subtitles appear on the PSP when viewing movies.
The current (and no doubt all future releases) integrated firmware movie player only supports the MP4 file for video files. This format does not have the ability to read subtitles from another file or ones somehow squeezed into the MP4 format.
There is some hope for you though as, PSP Media Center is currently in its early stages. This will in time be capable of playing lots of different types of video and audio files, and I dont see why in time it wont be able to support subtitles.
All you can do now is wait, but keep an eye on PSPMC as I'm sure that great things will come of it! ^_^
Check it out in the Official PSP Utilities Thread.

Hi carapalida, I took a look in the "Official PSP Tutorials thread!" and couldn't find a guide to ripping, so as I'm feeling in a good mood today so I'll make one now and put it up here and in the "Official PSP Tutorials thread!" in an hour or so.
It's surprising easy, so dont worry. Just hope you got a big enough memory stick. ^_^;

As promised, I've done the guide.
So here you go ladies and gents my short but sweet (funny really as I'm tall and grumpy! ^_^) guide to UMD ripping.
PS3News.COM please feel free to put in the "Official PSP Tutorials thread!" as I was gonna but it looked so tidy and I didnt wanna mess it up.
Hope you find it useful!

Higdon has some good basic plans - they will get you to the start and the finish line. You're not likely to win any award, but that's not your goal. You've got more than a year in experience and several shorter races - no reason not to go for a half. Follow the plan, but remember (as I believe ilanarama has said) the plan is in pencil - move it around as your body tells you.
To answer your questions:
1. Four days is good, five is better, but only if you feel up to it.
2. I don't either - should but -----
3. A little tired is to be expected - that's your body reacting to the added stress. Higdon throws in an easier week ever 3 weeks or so.
4. You really shouldn't need any solid foods for runs of 6 or 7 miles. But if you think it will help take a Gu pack to use about mid way.
5. Do the races - good confidence boosts.
Absolute PRs
Phat Old Man PR's
Try Higdon Novice 1. It's 4 days a week of running, but you have the flexibility to drop it to 3 if you need to. Just pick it up from week 3, since you're on a compressed time table. The mileage in this plan is pretty low, so it'll get you to the start line healthy and across the finish line on two feet
Walking is perfectly fine for cross-training, and you can substitute your yoga for the stretch / strengthen day.
Good luck. Go for it!
Mile: 5:38 (2015) | 5k: 20:07 (2015) | 10k: 42:53 (2015)
Oh, and try to get a little extra sleep if you can. I know it is hard, but it will make you feel better.
+1 to blueskydwg. If the Higdon plan works for you, that's great. If you later decide you want to improve your time, you may want a plan with more running, but for just getting to the finish line of a half it will do fine.
Go ahead and run your other races. Unless the 10-miler is the week before the half, in which case you won't have enough time to recover properly, you should be fine to race them.
If you feel the need to eat on your longer runs, do it, but don't do it just because you think you have to. I generally don't eat on any run shorter than 2 hours long, but when I started running I ate frequently. Bananas are hard to carry so look at dried fruit or commercial gels/shots/etc.
10 1:12:59 (2014) 13.1 1:35:55 (2013) 26.2 3:23:31 (2013)
bloggy stuff at http://ilanarama.dreamwidth.org
I agree with blueskydwg and ilianarama! I do some strength stuff mostly plyometrics and believe 15-30 mins after each run with help a lot! Also some core and lower back will help!
Blueskydwg: I live the Hogdon plans, and yes I do tailor them based on my week's schedule/work/personal time etc. I've decided to do a couple of races before the half. A 5K and a 10 miler.
Chase71: I have made my own customized plan using novice 2. I am going to look into novice 1 , to see if there's anything I feel like using. The sleep, ahh! What do I say. I am tired pretty much throughout the day, not a "bad" tired but a "healthy" tired if you know what I mean
Ilanarama: I just checked the 10-miler date (thanks for pointing this out), and it is 2 weeks before my half. Still should I do it? I could use the next week for a 6-7 miler and then finally, the following week, I will be in race week. I don't like commercial gels and power bars. Nuts are a fantastic idea, thanks.
BOSNPM: Today for the first time in my running life, I experienced a little lower back pain towards the end of my lng run (8 miles). Ouch! Definitely, need to add some strength. I will be looking at yoga for runners.
I have officially signed up for my first half!! Yay..exactly 8 weeks from now. Thanks to the extra motivation from you guys
Two weeks would be fine for me, though some people have a harder time recovering from racing.
Nuts can be problematic because of the fat content. I try to stick with more carby things like dried fruit, fig bars, etc.
ilanarama - I've decided against the 10 mile race since it is 2 weeks before my half. I will try to find 10Ks or shorter distances. I generally need one full week to recover from a race but since I have the half, I would want to be cautious
Good luck on your half! I have my first coming up in 4 weeks, and I've been adding a mile to my LR day each week, and doing 3-4 other runs during the week. I've been taking the past two weeks easy due to fatigue/plateaus, but have still been getting in some decent miles (and my long runs), just at slower paces.
For your questions, here's my take:
1. Never used Higdon, but I've heard good things from it. Bottom line, if it works for you, keep at it.
2. I don't do a lot of strength training, but will do body weight exercises like air squats, push-ups, pull-ups, core work (both abs and lower back). Weights are a once/week thing for me, but I keep them light enough to not be sore.
3. Many runners are tired, and sleep can help, but life gets busy. I get 6-7 hours/night myself, and I'm sluggish on some days, but I can't really change it too much. I simply have been trying the past two weeks to make sure I have plenty of recovery time so I'm not completely exhausted.
4. I can do 7-8 miles (usually) without any refueling. Anything 8+ miles, I will have some energy chews or gel that I'll tap into before I hit the halfway point of my run. I make sure I'll run my route near where I can have access to water, because the chews/gels can feel a little gummy/thick when I've been running. This is going to be something you'll probably have to test out on a longer run, just to see what your body needs. It isn't a bad idea to take some with you just in case, but each person is different on their refueling.
5. I have a 10k the week before my half. I tend to recover very quickly from races (based on previous experience), so it isn't a concern at this point (we'll see as things get closer). That said, I figure one of these races will likely be at less effort than the other. Depending on one's fitness level, as well as their recovery, you can still do races prior to the half, but one might want to consider doing one race at an easier pace to avoid injury, etc.
Everyone is different, and the good and bad part of running is figuring out what works for you!
I've been training for my first HM as well. It's the middle of October and this week I'm doing 8 miles LR. I do my runs, especially long runs, on a loop because I need water, at the very least every 3 - 4 miles. I am finding that I get really fatigued after 7 miles so I'm a little worried about the increased mileage each week. I've got 6 weeks to go before the race. Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated.
Aidan, if you're getting fatigued just slow your pace (from the beginning, that is). Are you following a plan?
Sounds like you are off to a great start. I have done 10 HMs but started running in my mid-30s so I had a big learning curve. And many of the same questions/concerns.
In response to your questions.
1. If you are happy stick with it. I just did my first marathon and only ran 4 days a week. It was great for me and my goals. I am just starting a training cycle for a Nov HM and will also only run 4 days a week.
2. I would be cautious about adding strength training at the same time you increase your mileage. I get really bored weight training so it is often the thing I get away from. But some of my strongest races have been when I went into the training with more strength from weights, and maintained through the training cycle. You don't need to do a lot for running - 20 min twice a week. If it were me I would add it in next training cycle but then again I like excuses to run more and weight train less...
3. I hear ya. I am a mom of small kids, working, life...it all adds up. Sleep can help immensely. I try really hard for 8 hours. Most nights I turn the TV and computer off at 9 just as a general rule. If you are fatigued while running start slower. And be sure you eat a good recovery meal/snack shortly after you finish your long run.
4. Very personal. I go without when I am under 90 min. I bring chews on longer runs. You should def experiment with food. When not running I have a stomach of steel. But on a run its a whole other game. Gu, shot bloks, etc give me terrible heartburn. Stingers are the only thing I can manage. I am not sure I could handle real food while running because of swallowing. Honey sticks are great too.
5. Make the 5K your speed work. And sounds like you are skipping the 10K. I am doing a HM 6 weeks before the one I want a PR. I don't have time for recovery so I plan to run the first HM about 45 seconds slower than what I hope to do in Nov. Wont be a PR but I get to do a HM with my brother, in a fun place so it will just be my long run for the week.
Good luck.

As the weather gets warmer, many people are planning on getting outdoors and shooting hoops. Before you break out the ball, just remember that there are certain rules in the town of Salina that must be followed pertaining to portable basketball hoops. Each town within New York is in control of the law surrounding the location of portable basketball hoops. Salina has established and enforced local ordinances and codes for such portable basketball hoops.
As you may be aware, basketball hoops are available in a number of types, including in-ground hoops with a concrete base and portable basketball hoops that can be moved and stored. The portable basketball hoops are pieces of movable equipment that can be used either indoors or outdoors. A portable basketball hoop usually consists of a pole, acrylic backboard, brace and a base filled with sand or water.
Portable basketball hoops are not permitted to be stored or used on public streets in the town of Salina. These hoops not only present a hazard for those playing basketball in the road, it poses danger to motorists trying to navigate the road and the people around it. If you happen to have a portable basketball hoop on the street, the following is likely to happen:
+ A written complaint will be received by the Town Codes Department
+ An Order to Remedy the Violation will be sent to the property owner by certified and regular mail. (This is the only notice the property owner will receive.)
+ The property owner will be asked to move the portable basketball hoop fifteen feet back from the edge of the road
+ If this is not done, the Salina Highway Department will come and remove the portable basketball hoop and it will not be returned
For everyone's safety, we hope that the town of Salina is not called upon to investigate the use of portable basketball hoops in the street. So, please, let's play it safe, and keep our hoops off the streets.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please stop by my office, call me at 457- 6661 or email me at email@example.com. Also, please visit the town of Salina website at salina.ny.us or look for us on Facebook and Twitter.

Hercog recovers from shaky startComment on this story
Bastad - Polona Hercog won her second consecutive Swedish Open title on Sunday after recovering from a shaky start to beat Mathilde Johansson of France 0-6, 6-4, 7-5.
The Slovenian racked up unforced errors in the first set and appeared to be headed for defeat, but sharpened her focus in the second. She controlled the match to go up 5-1 in the third but then lost her concentration once again, allowing Johansson to fight back to 5-5.
Hercog recovered by breaking Johansson in the next game and then serving out the match.
Hercog said: "Sometimes nerves kick in too much but I'm really glad that I managed to calm myself down in the last two games."
Hercog beat Sweden's Johanna Larsson in last year's Swedish Open final. - Sapa-AP

Home / Undergraduates /
The Undergraduate Anthropology Program
Anthropology at the University of Michigan emphasizes four-field training. Our majors gain anthropological understanding of the human condition through exposure to Anthropological Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, Sociocultural Anthropology, and Linguistic Anthropology.
Many students, however, take our courses to supplement other majors or out of general interest and have less need for four-field training. Academic minors in anthropology may benefit these students, providing structure to their course elections, and allowing thoughtful integration of anthropology into their academic plans. The department offers three minors: Anthropology (tracks in Archaeological, Sociocultural, and Linguistic Anthropology), Biological Anthropology, and Medical Anthropology.
The sub-disciplines of anthropology are natural complements to many majors. The minor in Anthropology allows students with particular regional or topical interests to add an anthropological perspective to their studies, whether sociocultural, linguistic or archeological. Students may choose a track that emphasizes Sociocultural Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, or Anthropological Archaeology.
Prerequisites to the Academic Minor: None
Academic Minor Program: At least five courses (no fewer than 16 credit in one "track" to be chosen from the following tracks, as described below.
1. Sociocultural Anthropology:
a) One general introduction to Anthropology: ANTHRCUL 101 or 222.
b) One course in anthropological theory from those listed under Sociocultural Anthropology — Theory/Method in the LSA Bulletin
c) Three additional 200-level or above sociocultural anthropology courses. At least one must be at the 400-level, and one must be a regional course.
2. Linguistic Anthropology:
a) One general introduction to Anthropology; Anthrcul 101 is recommended
b) ANTHRCUL 272.
c) At least three upper-level courses from those listed under Linguistic Anthropology in the LSA bulletin or under Course Info at: www.lsa.umich.edu/anthro/undergrad_students/index.htm
3. Anthropological Archaeology:
a) ANTHRARC 282.
b) ANTHRARC 385 or 386.
c) Three additional regularly offered courses in anthropological archaeology, two of which must be 300-level or above, chosen from ANTHRARC 258, 285, 283, 284, 381, 382, 383, 385, 386, 392, 394, 407, 442, 482, 484, 490, or 495.
d) Other less regularly taught courses in anthropological archaeology may also be used. Consult the undergraduate advisor for more information. Field courses (ANTHRARC 400 or 487) and Independent Reading and Research (ANTHRARC 499) may not be used toward the academic minor.
Biological Anthropology
The academic minor in Biological Anthropology allows students with interests in evolutionary biology or medicine to add an anthropological perspective to their studies. Many students are interested in specific topics covered by Biological Anthropology, such as Human Evolution, the Evolution of Human Behavior, Primatology, Nutrition and Adaptation, Human Genetics, etc. Thus, an academic minor in biological anthropology offers several "tracks" to students depending on their interests.
Prerequisites to Academic Minor: None.
Academic Minor Program: At least five courses (no fewer than 16 credits), to be chosen from the following categories as stated:
- ANTHRBIO 201: Introduction to Biological Anthropology.
- At least four 200-level or above courses in biological anthropology (ANTHRBIO), one of which must be at the 400-level or above.
Medical Anthropology
Not open to students electing the Science, Technology, and Society academic minor in the Residential College.
The academic minor in Medical Anthropology allows students to focus on the social basis of illness and healing from different cultural perspectives. The academic minor might be elected by students interested in client-practitioner interactions, traditional and complementary medicine, the production of medical knowledge, body politics, bioethics, and reproductive health, among other topics. It might also be relevant for those students interested in adding anthropological perspectives to their preparation for a career in medicine, public health, and other health sciences.
Prerequisites to the Academic Minor: Anthrcul 101 or 222 (recommended).
Academic Minor Program: At least five courses (no fewer than 16 credits) from courses to be chosen from the following categories as stated:
- Anthrcul 344, Medical Anthropology (4 credit hours).
- Choose four courses from the following list:
Anthrbio 363, Genes, Disease, and Culture (4)
Anthrbio 364, Nutrition & Evolution (4)

I always thought my rims were 36h but i was counting yesterday becuase it looked like the back rim had more spokes. well my back rim has 40 spokes and my front has 36 spokes. and no i didnt count wrong, i even checked onlin afterward.
is it common for this? because i never heard of it.

A single burst by Abby Eschen - and suddenly, years of frustration for the Cazenovia field hockey team in the New York State Public High School Athletic Association playoffs melted away.
Eschen's three-goal hat trick, two of them scored less than a minute apart in the first half, made the difference as the Lakers beat Section IV champion Whitney Point, 3-1, in Tuesday's Class C regional game at Greene High School.
Even though it's the fifth straight time Cazenovia had reached the regional playoffs as a Section III champion (two in Class B, three in Class C), it had never made it out of the regional phase before.
Usually, it involved a Section IV power like Marathon standing in the way. But Marathon was gone, beaten by Whitney Point in the sectional final, and instead it was the young Eagles going up against the experienced - and hungry - Lakers.
Forcing the tempo early, Cazenovia made a series of runs at Whitney Point, seeking a breakthrough. Midway through the first half, it arrived in a big way.
Eschen found herself open and put a shot into the net, giving Cazenovia a 1-0 lead. Before the Eagles could even settle down, the Lakers attacked again - and Eschen converted again, the two goals accounting for the Lakers' ultimate winning margin.
Amanda Collins' goal for Whitney Point helped the Eagles pull within 2-1 at halftime, forcing Cazenovia to spend the second half protecting that lead - which it did.
Defenders Ellen Burr, Raeanne Clabeaux, SarahRose Gabor and Molly Hudson were tested, but they mostly held up, and Emily Mastropaolo came up with nine saves and a shutout in those last 30 minutes.
As if that were not enough, Eschen returned to notch her third goal and complete the hat trick. Jillian Vogl added an assist as Whitney Point paid a dear price for giving too much defensive attention to the likes of Tori Widrick and Belle Hoagland.
Just one win now separates Cazenovia (18-2) from next weekend's state final four at Cicero-North Syracuse's Bragman Stadium, and it can be attained Saturday when the Lakers meet Section II champion Greenwich Saturday at 1:30 at Shenendehowa High School in Clifton Park, near Albany.
Cazenovia is the lone Section III team left after Camden (in Class B) and Baldwinsville (in Class A) both lost regional games in overtime - the Blue Devils to Maine-Endwell 3-2, the Bees to Greene 1-0.

220 Merrill restaurant in Birmingham has reopened after extensive renovations and updates by its new owners, developer Zaid Elia and businesswoman Denise Illitch, shown here in front of the restaurant with architect's drawings.

Owner Denise Ilitch, who purchased the 1932 building at Merrill and Bates with developer Zaid Elia in February, said the restaurant opened softly with appetizers and bar snacks on July 31 and began full lunch and dinner service Monday.
"Guests are very excited about the design," she said today. "I've heard words like 'fresh' and 'light.' People are saying it reminds them of New York or Miami," she added. ...

We came across a composed DJ with interests dragging him beyond standard electronic music. This artist has been polishing his collection of music with sounds from completely various styles.
Having gone through more than one clubs with him and witnessed his skills behind the decks, Akatana has proven to be a very interesting individual when it came down to choosing his tracks and introducing them into his sets. Not only a DJ and a producer, he has also been developing his Live act alongside Damien K Sahri and Eol as Akasari.
Be advised, his music may take you from the world of ambient right into the deeper side of Techno while passing through rhythms off the globe.

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Geoffrey Field Infant School. It may be that you already have or have had children at the school, in which case you will be familiar with our routines and organisation. However, if you are a new parent, we hope that you will find this prospectus very helpful.
We are a large infant school, with 10 classes, including a Nursery class. The school is set in extensive and attractive grounds, giving children plenty of space to learn and play. In fact each year group has its own dedicated outdoor learning area. The school opened in 1949 and was later officially opened by Alderman Geoffrey Field, who had served as Vice-Chairman of the Education Committee.
Our commitment at Geoffrey Field Infant is to ensure that your child:
- Feels safe whilst at school
- Enjoys learning
- Makes excellent progress and learns as well as s/he can
We provide a broad curriculum whilst maintaining a particular focus on reading. This we believe is important both for its own sake in terms of enjoyment and developing imagination but also in accessing all subjects.
The breadth of opportunity is seen in the wide variety of visitors who are invited into school to work with the children, e.g. musicians, actors, artists, the mobile Farm. The children really enjoy these sessions and learn a great deal from them.
We also have our annual Arts Week with professional artists, dancers and musicians working with the children plus Sports Day and Fun Day as well as after school clubs such as football and basketball for both girls and boys.
Our aim is to support children to become confident, independent learners who gain enjoyment from and have pride in their achievements at each stage of their education.
We hope you enjoy finding out more about the school.

Boost 2
Jonathan Lanis

Experience the fastest tunnel racer ever made on Android!
"...among the iPhone tunnel games, Boost is king" - Touch Arcade
"It was the best tunnel racer when it was originally released in 2009, and I'm having a hard time thinking of a better one that has been released since then" - Touch Arcade
"I don't consider myself a fan of racing games, but Boost 2 was a welcome change to my usual gaming fare." - AppAdvice
"Lanis has crafted a beautiful tunnel-racer that makes its predecessor, Cube Runner, look crude by comparison" - Thumb Spree
"Addicting Solid Tunnel Game" - itunesgames.net
Great game but a bit buggy if you get really far some times the screen just goes out of the game but none the less a good game a lot of fun.
Very fun I've played this for years, it's a great game.
Fantastic game! So happy to have this title back again. Thanks so much for listening to your users and getting rid of pocket change.
Nice! Pocket Change is gone, weird permissions are gone, this is now very much a recommend time waster.
Ads on the paid version There shouldn't be any ads on a paid game... otherwise 5 stars...
No patience for games these days Good game, even a old fart like me can play and have fun.
What's New
- Removed Pocket Change rewards
- Removed unnecessary permissions
