Javad Marshall-Fields foresaw his future.
He had survived two bullet wounds, watched his friend die and agreed to testify against one of the gunmen who shot three people at a July 4 party. Now he was at a sports bar, where a stranger called him by name, identified him as a witness and warned, "You're a marked man."
"They are going to kill me," Marshall-Fields told his friends.
He was right. He and his fiancée, Vivian Wolfe, were gunned down the next night on an Aurora street, days before he was scheduled to testify against Robert Ray in the 2004 murder case.
Arapahoe County prosecutors knew there were reasons to worry.
Dying To Testify
- WATCH Rhonda Fields, the mother of Javad Marshall-Fields, and Christine Wolfe, mother of Vivian Wolfe, describe the struggle since their children were killed. Rhonda Fields asks why her son wasn't better protected as a witness.
Colorado s witness-protection program lacks funds, organization and guidelines. Its very existence remains unknown to many witnesses and some in law enforcement, leading to witness killings that might have been prevented.
- Witnesses killed statewide despite protection program
- Murdered witness haunts detective
- Shawn Cerniglia & Carrie Heiden
Without protection, life as a witness, or even as a family member of a witness, can be a terrifying - and expensive - ordeal.
- Living in fear, on their own
- Living on edge, guns at the ready
- Shadowed by fear, woman fends for herself
The state s underfunded program can leave witnesses feeling that no one cares about them. But without the courage of witnesses, homicides can go unsolved forever.
For 12 years, Colorado has had a fund to protect state witnesses from harm. During that time, at least 16 witnesses and associates have been murdered and more than 2,000 felony crimes have been committed against witnesses. Many people in danger were not even aware that there is a witness protection program in place.
Is Colorado s witness protection program adequately funded or even working? The Denver Post examines the people and the problems involved in our state s witness protection program, looking at the victims, their families and the resources required to protect them from a problem so large and a system so broken, it threatens our entire judicial process.
But five court dates and nearly six months passed before that motion was finally considered by a judge. By then a defense lawyer had given detailed witness information to his client, a drug dealer associated with a dangerous Chicago- based gang.
For 12 years, Colorado has had a fund to protect state witnesses from harm.
But according to Rhonda Fields, Javad's mother, no one told him this program existed. After burying her son, she asked a prosecutor why he was never offered protection as a murder witness.
The response: "He never asked."
In Colorado, at least 16 witnesses and associates have been murdered since the state created a fund to protect the lives of witnesses. In most cases, threats preceded the murders. Some witnesses repeatedly reported those threats to police and prosecutors.
A Denver Post computer analysis found that since 1998, Colorado prosecutors have filed more than 2,000 felony cases of crimes against witnesses - crimes ranging from harassment and witness tampering to arson and murder.
Yet in a typical year, judicial districts throughout the state spend less to protect the lives of witnesses than Denver spends to plant flowers.
Many witnesses say that even after they survived a murder attempt, nobody offered protection. Some have moved thousands of miles away at their own expense. Others have invested in handguns and alarm systems and rehearsed shootout scenes with their children.
To this day, the father of a witness from a 2001 case still won't allow his children into the car until after he has started it alone.
State, federal differences
In federal courts, protected witnesses gain new lives, new identities and new jobs.
In state courts, witnesses are on their own. A handful of states budget $500,000 or more for comprehensive witness- protection programs. Most states spend nothing to protect witnesses. The balance are like Colorado - a program exists but has a budget of just $50,000, is little-used and may offer little more than a bus ticket or a security deposit for a new apartment.
"This is one of the most serious problems, as far as I'm concerned, that our nation must confront," said Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, who has tried in vain to get Congress to provide $90 million a year to help states protect their witnesses.
Improving state witness-protection programs "needs to be done with a sense of extreme urgency," Cummings said. "Every time a person is prevented from going to trial because of threats, it chips away at the bricks in our system. At some point, if it continues to go on, that system will collapse."
There are no national statistics and scant research on crimes against witnesses. When Cummings introduced his witness- protection bill, he cited a National Institute of Justice survey that said 51 percent of big- city prosecutors called witness intimidation a major problem. The survey is 12 years old.
At the same time, National District Attorneys Association chairman Paul Logli told Congress this year that witness intimidation "has become almost epidemic." Gruesome examples abound.
In Baltimore, drug dealers retaliated against a witness by firebombing her house, killing her, her husband and their five young children. In San Bernardino, Calif., a gang member paroled from prison forced his way into a witness' home, shot and killed him and his father, and wounded the infant boy sitting in the witness' lap. In Philadelphia, six witnesses recanted their testimony in the trial for the murder of a 10-year-old boy caught in gang crossfire outside his school.
Colorado created its witness-protection fund after gunmen tortured and shot three people to stop a waiter, Frank Magnuson, from testifying in a restaurant robbery case.
Magnuson and another man died. Steve Curtis was shot twice in the head - and survived. After watching the defendants and their friends intimidate witnesses and jurors at the murder trial, Curtis persuaded legislators to establish a protection fund in 1995.
Today, Curtis questions whether that fund has served its purpose.
Magnuson "was the first prosecution witness, that we know, ever killed in Colorado. It's amazing since then, how many there have been," he said.
"If you allow prosecution witnesses and jurors to be threatened and even killed, you will have no judicial system. I have to question whether law enforcement is taking it seriously enough. How is it that they are not keeping these people safe?"
Gov. Bill Ritter, a former Denver district attorney, called witness protection critical to the justice system and said he would welcome federal help to the states.
"Any death is too many," he said. "It undermines the very core of the system."
Yet in his first year as governor, Ritter did not push for a significant increase in witness-protection funds, and legislators chopped the Department of Public Safety's $100,000 request in half. The governor said he will ask for additional money if the state fund runs low.
In the four fiscal years through 2005, the year Marshall-Fields and Wolfe were murdered, Colorado spent an average of $29,895 statewide to protect witnesses in 22 judicial districts. Broomfield spends more than that on its Christmas light displays.
The Colorado program requires prosecutors to spend their own money to protect witnesses, then seek reimbursement from a three-member state board.
Colorado District Attorney's Council executive director Dave Thomas, who serves on that board, acknowledges that until recently, the state did not publicize the existence of a fund to protect witnesses' lives.
Within the law enforcement community, "a lot of people didn't even know it existed," he said.
Now, thanks to the mothers of Javad Marshall-Fields and Vivian Wolfe, his murdered fiancée, Colorado must provide training about the program by law. Thomas said the board has done so at conferences of district attorneys and victims' advocates.
The 2006 law also requires the state board to create a "witness protection risk assessment" model and provide it to prosecutors and police. Fifteen months later, that hasn't been completed. A Department of Public Safety spokesman said developing a model for a wide range of cases has proved more difficult than anyone assumed.
Thomas said that as assaults against witnesses have grown, so has law enforcement officials' awareness that witnesses must be asked about threats and informed of resources to protect them.
"Can we be more aggressive about explaining this to victims and witnesses involved? Yes," he said. "We have an obligation to tell them the program does exist."
Drug case turns deadly
In Jefferson County, Jimmy Roberts was murdered for agreeing to testify against Abe Hagos in a drug-dealing case.
For eight months, Jefferson County prosecutors and detectives knew Hagos was threatening their key witness, court records show.
But the case prosecutor doesn't remember discussing the witness-protection program with Roberts until two days before he died - after he survived a first murder attempt.
The warnings:
On March 4, 1998, Roberts and a detective advised prosecutor Judy Archuleta that a female had called Roberts with a message from Abe to "watch his back."
In April, Roberts recorded phone calls from Hagos, who asked to meet him alone and threatened Roberts' brother. He gave the tapes to police.
In May, Archuleta reported the threats in court, and Hagos' bail was raised to $100,000. He bonded out four days later.
In June, Roberts told police Hagos was showing up at his brother's workplace. He also told police that Hagos warned him, "Enjoy the summer, because you'll be dead at the end."
On Nov. 4, 1998, Roberts escaped an attempted murder at his home that had been set up by his best friend.
The next day, Roberts appeared in court with Hagos. At a conference room window, Hagos saw Roberts and put a finger to his head. The prosecutor and a detective offered witness protection. He declined.
On Nov. 7, Roberts was killed as he went to work.
Laura Roberts, Jimmy's mother, lived across the street from him that year. She remembers how scared he was. He was escorted by police officers in and out of the courthouse. He wouldn't take his own car to the police station.
She said her son turned down the protection offer after the first murder attempt because he feared his brother and father would be killed instead.
"If he accepted protection and others were killed, he knew he couldn't live with himself," she said.
Was Roberts' murder preventable?
Prosecutor Archuleta, now a judge in Jefferson County, can still see him sitting in front of her, rocking back and forth in a chair, silently weighing her offer to hide him in a hotel for a while.
"They know where you live. They know what car you drive. They know where you work," she told him.
He thought it over. "No, I can take care of myself," he decided.
It was the last thing he said to her.
Archuleta thinks that was the first time they discussed witness protection and that he did not tell her he feared for his family if he disappeared.
In the months leading up to the trial, Archuleta had advised Roberts to record any calls from Hagos and reported Hagos' threats in court.
"I don't think the system could have done anything different," she said.
If Roberts had confided he feared Hagos would kill other family members if he accepted witness protection, "I would have tried to convince him harder," she said. "The odds would be against that."
She doubted that talking to Roberts about witness protection when the threats began would have made a difference. "He didn't want to do it," she said.
Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey, whose office regularly uses witness- protection funds, said there is one recourse if prosecutors know a witness and his family are in danger. "We've relocated whole families," he said.
Threats, then bloodshed
Other witness murders were preceded by death threats - and claims that police were informed.
In Adams County, Natisha Gallegos obtained a restraining order against her husband, Albert, after they separated. Last November, after she refused his pleas to return to him, he was charged with violating that order by sexually assaulting her, punching her, asking "Should I kill you?" as he held a knife to her face, then stealing her car.
Police knew she was the only eyewitness in the case.
A month later, her body was found on the floor of her bedroom. She had been stabbed 67 times.
Dawn Delgado, Natisha's pregnant sister, told police she had stayed at Natisha's apartment two nights the previous week because Natisha "had told her that she was afraid that Albert Gallegos was going to kill her."
Don Quick, Adams County's district attorney, said the investigating detective does not remember mentioning the witness-protection program to Natisha.
In court records, detectives say Gallegos told them he knew Natisha had accused him of rape, and he stood outside her home for 45 minutes before deciding to kill her on Christmas Eve. He now faces a first- degree murder charge. His attorneys contend he suffers from a grave mental illness.
After Jimmy Roberts was murdered, prosecutors quickly offered protection to other key witnesses. After Javad Marshall- Fields was murdered, the same thing happened in Arapahoe County.
Rhonda Fields questions why no one thought of protecting the witnesses before Javad and his fiancée were killed.
"After the death of my son, that's how I became aware of how broken the system was," she said.
"It seems like prosecutors, they use you as a pawn and don't pay enough attention to letting you know the services available. My son, if he had just been given some basic safety measures, told 'If this happens to you, Javad, call right away.' They never explained anything to him."
Violence at July 4 fest
The case began with a free barbecue and rap music contest on July 4, 2004, that suddenly turned violent at 9 p.m. when two young men pulled out guns. Three people were shot. Javad survived. His friend Gregory Vann died.
On Dec. 9, 2004, prosecutor Michael Frederick filed a motion to protect the locations of six witnesses against a 19-year- old charged as an accessory to Vann's murder: Robert Ray.
All six "have expressed their desire that the defendant not have their current address," he wrote, and didn't even want his lawyer to know where they lived.
Ray had friends who called themselves Gangster Disciples, a gang known for killing witnesses, and allegedly told one friend he was making $40,000 a week selling cocaine. He soon hired Harvey Steinberg, a prominent defense lawyer who has represented several Denver Broncos in court cases.
Six months and five court dates passed. On June 6, 2005, District Judge Michael Spear asked about the unaddressed motion for a protective order.
Jennifer Lundin, who had become the case prosecutor, didn't know her predecessor had filed it. "Your honor, I apologize to the court, since I did not file it, I actually didn't realize it had been filed," she said.
The judge turned to Steinberg. "What's your position?" he asked.
"Well, unfortunately, I was not aware of the pendency of that motion and it is my practice to provide copies of all discovery," Steinberg replied, and "it appears, although I can't be certain, that addresses of those individuals were provided."
Spear did the one thing he could: order "the whereabouts or current addresses" of witnesses protected from that day forward. "What's been done has been done," he commented.
Two weeks later, Javad Marshall-Fields and Vivian Wolfe were shot to death as they drove down a suburban street.
Rhonda Fields said she was unaware that a motion to protect witness locations was pending for six months before her son died. "That borders on gross negligence," she said.
Last week, Lundin said she did not remember any discussion about a motion to protect witnesses when she inherited the case. But "I should have double-checked" the records, she said.
Of the five others who asked to have their addresses protected, one was Askari Martin, the first person who led police to Robert Ray as a suspect in the July 4 shootings.
Before Marshall-Fields and Wolfe were murdered, he told detectives that two men had broken into a friend's home, armed with handguns, and demanded to know his whereabouts.
One witness became so frightened that he approached Robert Ray in the courthouse parking lot "and told him that he did not want to testify, that he had not signed any statements, and indicated that he would not cooperate in the case against Robert Ray," prosecutors allege.
In court papers, prosecutors described witnesses to Vann's murder as terrified. The pervasive fear "prevented the identification of Sir Mario Owens for over a year" as Vann's murderer, prosecutor John Hower wrote in a memo to the court.
Yet until two more people died, the district attorney's office failed to protect key witnesses.
The three young men accused of killing them - Ray, Owens and Parish Carter - had stalked Javad Marshall-Fields, staked out his home and confronted him twice on the day before he died, prosecutors allege. At a Father's Day barbecue, Ray and his friends found him. Marshall-Fields nervously told a friend he had seen the man who shot him and they needed to leave.
Hours later, they allegedly tracked him down again at a sports bar where Carter called him by name and warned him, "You're a marked man. You better watch your back, homie."
That night and the next day, Javad called his older sister. He talked about the threats to kill him. He asked her to help him move out of Colorado as quickly as possible. He confided he was afraid to testify "because Robert Ray and his associates were Gangster Disciples," court records show.
He was killed at 8:55 p.m.
All three defendants have pleaded not guilty.
Javad had just finished college and planned to move to Virginia. His mother wishes the district attorney's office had sent him there until he testified. "They could have done that, and he might be alive today," she said. "I do think the system failed my son. And I think I failed him a little too, because I should not have trusted the system."
Arapahoe County District Attorney Carol Chambers said she can't comment on the Marshall-Fields case because of a court-imposed gag order. But, she noted, her office now attaches a notice to each subpoena urging witnesses to notify police and prosecutors of any threats, and to call 911 immediately "if you believe you are in any danger."
That warning was added after Marshall-Fields and his fiancée were killed.
"I wish that had been on the subpoenas previously," said Lundin, the case prosecutor. "It's a wise precaution."
Chambers prefers to call the Colorado program witness relocation. Witness protection "gives people the illusion that it's like the federal witness-protection program. Those are not the resources Colorado has," she said. "We cannot support people for long periods. We don't have the resources to pay rent."
At home, Rhonda Fields gazed around the empty living room of the Aurora house where her son grew up, remembering the laughing boy who loved basketball, golf and music, whose favorite meal was fried pork chops, mashed potatoes and string beans. She made it for his birthday every year.
"I miss him so," she said.
"It's hard picking myself up to go to work. I have to fake myself out each day to participate," she said.
"He was busy busy busy, school events, sports events, when you have all that activity around, 'Mom, I'm doing this, I'm doing that, come support me. ...' The house seems so empty and quiet now. I don't really have anything to do anymore."

In Manila, there were several things you could do: go to the many millions of malls, movies, concerts, night clubs--in other words, the same things you can do here. However, there also is the tourist aspect of the Philippines, which includes the several beaches, World War II ruins, and old left-over houses and churches from when the Spanish occupied the Philippines. On the weekends, I loved going to seafront, which is kind of a complex for the U.S. Embassy. It had a pool, sports facilities, restaurant, commissary, and a townhouse.
The Philippines also is an excellent location if you like to vacation to other neighboring countries. For example, I visited China, Malaysia, and Australia, which normally would be way too far away and expensive.
As wonderful as the Philippines may seem, like many other countries it had its fair share of problems. The Philippines is grossly overpopulated, which causes for several problems with the environment and issues with poverty. The air is very polluted, which is a big health concern, especially for people with frail lungs or who are susceptible to breathing problems like asthma. The traffic in the Philippines makes the traffic in L.A. seem like cake. There also were big issues that were yet to be addressed, such as dealing with the homeless, unemployed, and the high crime rate.
I've lived in overpopulated countries pretty much all my life, because population control is what my mom specializes in. Though the Philippines is not my favorite post, I definitely think living there for a couple of years was a worthwhile experience. Even while there are several negative sides to the country, there certainly are its positive aspects. So go ahead and visit sometime and stock up on all the cheap CDs while you can.

I never thought that I would be around to see Positive Living end.
I have always had a personal stake in this publication; in 1988, I left a job at a daily newspaper in a community far removed from the AIDS epicenter to accept a position at AIDS Project Los Angeles. After a few years of AIDS do-goodery, in the fall of 1991, I got an HIV diagnosis of my very own.
Few people have the privilege of getting a disease and then creating a magazine about the affliction. But I got a crack at it. And while Positive Living may have had some dodgy moments -- anyone remember our cover story on the guy who sang the wonders of the Kombucha mushroom? -- there were also occasional high points.
And 11 years is not a bad run. (Let's see if that magazine for folks with attention deficit disorder lasts even half as long.)
If I excelled at anything in this post as editor, that would be my uncanny knack for hiring. Publication coordinators Suren Seropian, Holly Harootunian, Kylie Schwerdtfeger, Tracy Sigrist and Michael Storc all served memorable stints on this publication's masthead, and I thank each of them for their talents, humor and deep capacity for tolerating me. (An unrepentant Luddite, I surrendered my X-acto blades and hot wax dispenser only as the new millennium dawned.) I also was blessed with a large corps of APLA volunteers too numerous to cite here by name, and APLA co-workers whose contribution was lasting and meaningful.
I don't have any way of knowing how many of you readers have been with us from the beginning in 1992. Our subscription list was constantly churning. On any given day in the early '90s, I received returned magazines in envelopes stamped "Deceased," and over the years I have fielded hundreds of calls from spouses and family members and landlords, asking to have a particular individual's name removed from our mailing list. By far, that was the saddest part of serving as editor of Positive Living, even sadder than turning off its light.
I thank all of you for spending time with Positive Living. I hope that you found that your time in these pages was worth your while.
|Paul Serchia is the editor of Positive Living. He can be reached by calling (213) 201-1362 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

please post your stories of roadside improvisation! it may help somebody one of these days.
got a pretty massive flat today.
good size hole. not sure what i ran over, but it went out with a bang, and with the amount of damage the tire took, i couldn't just change the tube and go. so here's what i did.
in order to prevent the new tube from being exposed to the road, i used my garage key to cut up the old one and create a sleeve(two layers) to fit between the road and the naked tube.
wrapped them around the tube...
then installed the tube like normal.
i still didn't inflate the tube to max pressure but enough to get me home without having to worry. it held up great for 20 miles, but the tire is shot.
the real heroes.
i guess i need to cut some pieces off of my old slime liners and stick those in my seat pack just for these occasions.

PARC lifeguards work together to save a life
August 20, 2010
By Tara Scully, U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation
PILILAAU ARMY RECREATION CENTER, Hawaii - An emotional reunion happended, recently, when Gilbert Rodriguez, Hizson Lin-Kee, Russell Purdy and Theo Auwau saw each other for the first time during an appreciation ceremony, after what could have been a tragic event, here.
"I am so thankful for these men," said Rodriguez, a 62-year-old resident of Sea Country in Maile. "They are the reason I am still breathing. They are the reason I have more time on this earth."
Rodriguez was celebrating Father's Day with his family, when he decided to take a moment to walk along the beach. He said he walked in the water up to his waist, turned toward the shore to appreciate the view, splashed water on his face - and that is the last thing he remembers.
Meanwhile, Auwau, an avid surfer, was paddling in from his morning surf when he spotted a man floating facedown on the water, near the shore. Auwau quickly changed course toward the floating man's direction.
Millie, Rodriguez's wife, had also noticed her husband floating in the water and that he hadn't come up for air in quite some time. She alerted PARC lifeguards, Purdy and Lin-Kee, who took swift action to get to Rodriguez.
Purdy was first to arrive on the scene and stabilized Rodriguez's head and neck. Lin-Kee immediately followed and assisted Purdy by carrying Rodriguez's lower half.
At this point, Rodriquez had been underwater for almost four minutes, and the lifeguards could not find a pulse. Purdy called 911 as Lin-Kee immediately began executing the ABCs of emergency medicine: airway, breathing and circulation.
By this time, Auwau, had made his way on to the beach and over to Rodriguez. Realizing the gravity of this situation, he laid hands on Rodriguez and began to pray.
Lin-Kee proceeded with the cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Rodriguez. After one round of CPR, Rodriguez regained consciousness, but was still not lucid. The ambulance arrived shortly after, and Rodriguez was rushed to the hospital where he remained under observation for two days.
In an appreciation ceremony, Rodriguez presented his rescuers with Invicta watches to represent the additional time they gave him here on earth. The ceremony ended with an emotional prayer circle of all those in attendance, to give thanks to strangers who touch the lives of others without expecting anything in return.
"One of the things I love about my job is that I get to interact with people and can help them have a better day at the beach," Purdy said. "I am so grateful that people have shown this kind of appreciation for the job we do."

Hi everyone. Bean27 here. Trying to get into riding for exercise. I'm about 40 lbs overweight and hope to help my overall health with some recreational riding. Nothing serious - just riding for fun and exercise. I had a Schwinn Varsity 3 speed from the early 80's that I started riding again. But, it didn't fit me too well, so I got rid of it. It made my neck hurt after about 15 minutes of riding in the hunched over position. After two cervical fusions, I need a bike with an upright riding position. So, I'm looking at hybrid and comfort models. Simpler is better for me.
Regards from Texas,

THIBODAUX —State Ethics officials will not rehear arguments about ethics charges against Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph, but they did reduce her fine.
Randolph said she is now preparing to take her challenge to court.
Earlier this year, the state Ethics Board ruled Randolph must repay $50,000 she received from renting her camp to BP in addition to a $10,000 fine for violating laws that prohibit a public servant such as her from receiving any financial benefit from entities either seeking a contract or having a contract with the parish government.
At the time Randolph rented her Grand Isle camp to BP, the parish was in contract with the oil giant to receive money used to respond to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil leak.
Attorneys for Randolph challenged that ruling, arguing Randolph deserved a second hearing in front of the three-person ethics adjudicatory panel that handed down the ruling.
In a five-page opinion, the panel rejected Randolph's bid for a rehearing but reduced the penalty by $5,000.
Randolph's primary argument was that the contract with BP was in effect a donation.
Her attorneys argued because the $1 million Lafourche received through the agreement was nonrefundable, the contract was over once the money was given — before Randolph rented her camp.
In rejecting her plea, the board said because the agreement with BP stipulated the parish must provide annual reports on how the money was spent, it was more a contract than donation.
The board reduced the fine because Randolph self-reported the violation.
On Tuesday, Randolph said she disagrees with the decision not to grant a rehearing and is preparing to challenge the fine in court using the same arguments laid out in her application for a rehearing.

Gone Baby Gone
When someone had a negative breast MRI in June, it is very hard to fathom how one is supposed to undergo a MRI-directed core biopsy in July. What tissue does one biopsy when there was nothing abnormal seen on the breast MRI (the definitive test) in the first place?
This morning, after being stuck back into the MRI tube, the radiologist who was to perform the core biopsy finally gave me the words I had been waiting two months to hear, "There's nothing there for me to biopsy. You're OK."
You hear that folks? The rollercoaster has finally pulled back into the station so that I can get off. Whatever the guy saw on the mammogram is gone baby gone.
I haven't heard from Dr. Dahlia yet, but Dr. Radiologist-Who-Makes-Sense suggests a repeat mammogram in 6 months as follow up. Now who was it who suggested that course of action last week? Oh right. That would have been me.
Please don't think that I'm not thankful and grateful. I certainly am. I'm just stuck on the chain of illogic that got me to the place of almost being stuck in the breast with a needle this morning. And that relates to the first two questions of my post. If the June MRI was truly negative, then what the heck were they going to find today on MRI to biopsy?
But for now I'll work on letting that go. What's important is that this crisis has been averted and I get to enjoy this weekend with my family and friends…and lots of alcohol.
Thanks for all your support!

Yeehaw! Whew! Glad to know you were right. Just get it checked in six months again, just to be sure, and keep on keeping on.
Thank God!
Have a great weekend!
Oh, Thank Gd!!!!!!
Thank goodness it really was nothing! Have a wonderful weekend to celebrate.
I am so glad that it is gone!!! What a relief it must be for you…
Not to say "I told you so" but I did. Actually, you did. Glad you (we) were finally proven right without your actually having to be perforated.
Have a nice weekend.
I'd count any day where a needle isn't put in my in my breast as an awesome day! So relieved they didn't find anything, and relieved that you went in and now know beyond a certainty that there isn't anything there.
This is fantastic news!
Ditto from me!! Have a great weekend!
SO glad to hear the good news!!! Enjoy your weekend!! Thanks for the update
Thank god, Liana! What a relief… cheers!!~moonka
I am so happy to hear this!!!
Phew! Yes, you're absolutely right to think the whole situation was insane…
…and now it's OVER, sans needles.
I can imagine how was your feeling to know the result…I'm happy for you.
Wonderful news!!!!!
Happy for you – enjoy the weekend!
Whoo Hoo! Happy Dance!

Sunday the evacuation order was in effect only for tourists on Ocracoke Island in Hyde County. Monday, that order was extended to all 700 island residents. Hyde County officials say they made the call because it will take 72 hours to get residents off the island. They also say it allows for time to lock down the ferries. Dare County officials will meet again Tuesday morning to determine if there should be any sort of evacuation.

Respond to Review of Golden Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant
by msvegan
Review: Everything is good, but, if you arent familiar with there menu a few personal favorites would be: All the apptzers are tasty. Wonton Noodle Soup. Garlic Beef; Marinated tender veg meat on a green lettuce salad with a vingerette. Lamb Clay Pot; Mushroom steams and tofu in a savory brown sauce in a clay pot. This is the original rest. there is as another one in SF. I prefer the food here to the branch in SF although the menu is the same. It is Asian cafe style seating; nothing fancy. Members of the'Supreme Master'LOL Suma Ching Hi cult. I try to over look it as their food is so good. At least they dont sell her personal items/used clothes or material at these restaurants. Really delicious food but customer service is def lacking. They are only one block away from the BART station so its easy if you are on public transport. They also offer validating car parking at a near by lot.

EASy Simulation™Teller Vision Simulation
EASy Simulation – Teller Vision Simulation is a
web-delivered simulation that realistically depicts a
typical day in the life of a teller and accurately
predicts future job performance. Teller Vision lets
applicants "test-drive" the teller job and experience
what it's like to interact with customers and perform
banking transactions. As part of the simulation,
applicants handle a series of customer transactions.
The demeanor and attitude of each customer varies,
as does the complexity of each transaction. During
the simulation, applicants are required to learn
and apply bank policies and procedures, interact
with customers, review documents (e.g., deposit
slips, checks, IDs), complete data entry screens,
count and dispense cash (using a virtual cash drawer),
answer questions, and recommend bank products and
services. Applicants must be able to demonstrate
basic keyboard and navigation skills as well as the
ability to identify effective responses for each
With Teller Vision, you can quickly and accurately identify top performers who will:
Teller Vision measures five critical skills required for high levels of performance in the teller position. These skills are:
No special training is needed to administer and score Teller Vision. Teller Vision automatically provides applicants with all of the information they need to complete the simulation, including a realistic preview of the teller job, complete assessment instructions, and a practice opportunity. Applicants then have 45 minutes to complete the assessment. Once the applicant is finished, Teller Vision provides immediate, 24/7 access to comprehensive, easy-to-interpret results via the EASy Datacenter. These results provide a prediction of each applicant's potential for success as well as valuable feedback on skill strengths and developmental needs. Employment Technologies' exclusive Career Prescription™ (CareeRx™) option automatically creates an objective, personalized performance plan for each participant based upon his or her specific assessment results.
Teller Vision is the key component of Employment Technologies' EASy
Hiring Solution for teller selection. The EASy Hiring Solution provides a complete system for hiring and developing top performing tellers. This integrated system can also include:

Dozens of sea turtles are heading back out to warmer seas off our coast.
Wednesday morning a Coast Guard crew took more than thirty of healthiest turtles out to warmer waters of the Gulf Stream to release them.
Volunteers and rescue workers spent a week nursing the young endangered animals back to health after 80 were found, stunned from the cold waters.
The shallow waters of the Core and Pamlico sounds cooled too quickly for the turtles to escape. They became hypothermic and some even developed pneumonia. "Turtles love the sound areas in North Carolina," says conservation coordinator Wendy Cluse. "That's where they're hanging out, that's where they're feeding. If they don't move out of the area in time they get kind of stuck in those sound areas. They're trying to move south but just the geography of the barrier islands gets them stuck in the sounds."
Rescuers say sea turtles get stuck in the sounds each year, but recently they're finding more and more. Experts say they expect it and try to prepare for it.

Associated Press
The Associated Press is the essential global news network, delivering accurate, insightful news from every corner of the world, 24 hours a day. Since its founding in 1846, AP has been the first to report many of history's most important moments, and every day, AP journalists, photographers and videographers file news from the front lines of the world's biggest stories.
AP's reporting, photography, audio and video are published and broadcast by the world's leading newspapers, TV channels, apps, radio stations, websites and magazines—in fact, over half the world's population sees AP news content on any given day.
As a leader in the field of journalism, AP fights for freedom of the press and the public's right to know. Its reporters take great risks to file in-depth stories from countries where the press is otherwise restrained, and in the U.S., AP aggressively uses the Freedom of Information Act to advocate for transparency and accountability in government.
With more experience reporting and delivering news than any other agency, a well-earned reputation for independence and accuracy, and a fierce commitment to the people's right to know, AP is the definitive source for trusted news.
UNDATED (AP) - The Pittsburgh Pirates had a chance this week to move into a tie with the Chicago Cubs for the NL Central lead. Instead, the Cubs have left the Steel City with a six-game lead after completing a three-game sweep of the Bucs.
Jon Lester worked in and out of trouble while tossing 5 2/3 scoreless innings in Chicago's 6-2 win over the Pirates. Lester surrendered eight hits and two walks but lowered his ERA to 1.58. The lefty has allowed fewer than two runs in five of six starts this season.
Ben Zobrist (ZOH'-brihst) opened the scoring with a three-run homer in the third inning of the Cubs' seventh victory in eight games. Anthony Rizzo was 3-for-5 with a solo homer and three runs scored as the Cubs improved to a major league-best 20-6.
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Patric Hornqvist beat Braden Holtby between the legs 2:34 into overtime to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a 3-2 victory over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night in Game 4 of the second-round series.
Washington's Mike Weber tried to clear a shot, but the puck went right to Hornqvist in the circle. He buried it for his fifth goal of the postseason to give the Penguins a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals. Game 5 is Saturday night in Washington.
The Penguins ended an eight-game losing streak in overtime playoff games.
Matt Cullen and Trevor Daley also scored for Pittsburgh, and rookie goalie Matt Murray stopped 34 shots.
Jay Beagle and John Carlson scored for Washington. Holtby made 29 saves, but the Capitals dropped a third straight game, something they did once all season.
CINCINNATI (AP) - Brandon Phillips, Eugenio Suarez and Zack Cozart homered in a five-run first inning, and the Cincinnati Reds beat Jake Peavy for the first time in a 7-4 win over the San Francisco Giants Wednesday.
Adam Duvall added a solo shot for the Reds, and Dan Straily (1-1) overcame solo homers by Brandon Belt and Conor Gillaspie for his first major league win since April 10, 2014, with Oakland. Cincinnati avoided getting swept in the three-game series.
Mac Williamson and Denard Span hit consecutive two-out doubles in the ninth off Ross Ohlendorf. Cincinnati's bullpen has allowed runs in a big league record 22 consecutive games.
Peavy (1-3) allowed seven runs and eight hits in six innings with eight strikeouts and one walk, raising his ERA to 9.00 in six starts. He had been 7-0 with a 2.38 ERA in 12 starts against the Reds.
CLEVELAND (AP) - Corey Kluber pitched a five-hit shutout and the Cleveland Indians used a four-run fourth inning to defeat the Detroit Tigers for the fifth straight time this season, 4-0 Wednesday night.
Kluber (2-3) worked out of jams in the second and fourth to beat Detroit for the second time in two weeks. The right-hander, who won the AL Cy Young Award in 2014, struck out seven and walked two in his second career shutout and eighth complete game.
Anibal Sanchez (3-3) didn't allow a hit through three innings, but gave up four runs on three hits, a walk, a hit batter and a wild pitch in the fourth.
Michael Brantley's RBI single and Mike Napoli's run-scoring double gave Cleveland a 2-0 lead. Another run scored on Sanchez's wild pitch before Yan Gomes' double capped the scoring.

Plastic plants
I have a dark green to black algae growing on my plastic plants. I can't stand it. Is there any easy way to get rid of it? Or am I better off just replacing them? I've tried scrubbing with a toothbrush, and pieces of plant just break off.
If the plant is breaking up when u just scrub it then it's definetly not too good for the tank. I would replace :D
yes doctor foster and smith have some thing for this i cant remember the name ill find the name and get back to u :D
What are your phosphate levels? How long do you leave your lights on? What kind of light is running, and what are the tank stats for size, filtration, feeding, etc...?
What kind of fish are in the tank?
Plastic plants will tend to get brittle after a long time in a tank, so need to be replaced when they show signs of breaking. Silk plants tend to last a lot longer and are easier to clean, plus look more natural. If there are no vegetarian fish in the tank, I would suggest adding some live plants to the tank.
I don't measure phosphates. THe lights are on 12 hours a day. Actually, this happens to be the 'cleanes' tank, which I've always found a little unusual, but perhaps its due to the low stock -- 1 (sunset?) gourami, 3 checker barbs and 2 harlequin rasboras (20gal)? Of course, its the only one without live plants and during gravel washes, the water generally has a green tint. I used to have plants in there, but they died when I moved them.....swords mostly......I also had a big ammonia spike a while back (year ago) and pH hike that appeared to kill off all the snails (and a gourami I had at the time -- the water was always so clear, I'd often skip water changes...learned my lesson).... the snails never made much of a comeback.
I never even heard of silk plants for aquariums! I will check them out and maybe experiment with some live plants as well.
Why cant you use real plants?
I think I'd have to put in a bunch of plants, cause I've put in a few small plants, and they just got covered in this dark algae. I don't have much gravel to hold down plants.
What do your nitrate and phosphate levels look like? 12 hrs is quite a lot of light for a freshwater tank, especially without live plants in there. I would cut the time down to 8 - 10 hrs/day and check those levels before deciding what to do... algae won't go away and stay away unless you first identify the cause and then fix THAT.
Andrew's aquarium with the live plants is gorgeous! (I have vegetarian fish, so the live plants just end up getting eatern).
RE: silk plants vs. plastic, the silk plants are much nicer and any lfs that sells the plastic ones will likely sell the silk plants as well.
There are several species of live plants which are "idiot proof" (I know this because mine are alive and I am using them to gain experience).
Pls. don't "sweat" the shallow bottom cover as this situation can be easily overcome.
You will have the same problem with any objects (incluing the walls) in your aquarium becoming algae covered unless you control your lighting period and feeding. From what you have said I am somewhat suprised that you have not reported an algae bloom also.
The brown algae which you describe is the hardest to get rid of (or a least was for me but I did not have much).

A Victim Impact Statement is the victim's chance to tell the judge in their case how the crime has affected them and what their life has been like since the crime took place. The purpose of a Victim Impact Statement is to assure a balanced picture of both offender and victim in determining the most appropriate sentence for the convicted offender. It may be the only opportunity a victim has to communicate with the offender. A victim retains the right, however, not to prepare a written statement and not to speak or read a statement in court.
Although many crime victims experience similar feelings, questions and concerns as a result of crime, no two victims experience the same emotional, physical and financial impact. Only you can tell how you and those close to you have been affected by this crime. Not all victims are comfortable writing or submitting a Victim Impact Statement because of fears of retaliation or other reasons. While you have the opportunity to complete a Victim Impact Statement, the decision is totally up to you and you are under no obligation to do so.
If you decide to write a Victim Impact Statement, it will become an official court document after it is given to the court, and will become part of the defendant's permanent file. The judge, prosecutor and probation officer will read your statement. In addition, prison and parole officials may read your statement if the defendant is sentenced to a prison term. The defendant and the defendant's attorney will also be able to read what you have written. They may even be able to ask you questions about your statement in court. However, the defendant will not be able to see your address and telephone number because you are not asked to put them on your statement.
The Mayor's Office will assist any citizen that chooses to tell their side of the story. The simple process described below will help you (1) compose a meaningful, descriptive impact statement, (2) provide detailed information on where to send your statement, and (3) provide additional resources and contact information to learn more about victim's rights in Baltimore City.
The following suggestions and sample are offered only as a guide. Please answer as many questions as you wish. Make sure that your Victim Impact Statement includes the name of the Defendant, the Case Number and the Court Date.
If you would like to tell the court about the emotional impact of this crime, you may want to consider:
If your case is in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City send your Victim Impact Statement to the Judge assigned to your case at:
Courthouse East
111 N. Calvert Street
Baltimore, MD 21202
If your case is in the District Court for Baltimore City send your Victim Impact Statement to:
Borgerding District Court Building
5800 Wabash Avenue
Baltimore, MD 21215-3330
Send a copy of your Victim Impact Statement to the Assistant State's Attorney who is handling your case at:
State's Attorney's Office
208 Mitchell Courthouse
110 North Calvert Street
Baltimore, Maryland 21202
This website was hand crafted by the Mayor's Office of Information Technology for the Citizens of Baltimore City.
Citizen feedback and participation is welcome and highly encouraged. If you'd like to help make this website better, please email the Webmaster.

"Retiring Early Overseas Gave Me A Richer, More Rewarding Life"
We have always loved to travel; my husband David and I. Annual holidays gave us the perfect excuse. We first explored the U.S. on epic road trips, then Mexico, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Each time we returned, it was back to the "real world" of too much work and not enough play. Returning from our last holiday in 2003, I realized that I just wasn't ready for it to end. We had visited Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia on a whirlwind trip. It wasn't enough for me and it was during that flight home that I made a decision…I realized that I didn't want to work at my full-time job as a registered nurse until I was 65. I didn't want to wait to retire and hope that I would be healthy enough to travel and do all the things that I wanted to do before it was too late.
10 of The Most Beautiful Places in Asia
Asia covers a lot of land area and encompasses hundreds of natural scenic wonders. Towering mountains, white-sand beaches, and virgin rainforest parks make up some of the most beautiful natural attractions in Asia. Below are 10 worth your consideration.
Exploring the East for Profitable Art and Craft Imports
Importing crafts and folk art is a great way to fund your travels or create an income living overseas. You get to bridge the gap between an artisan producer in an emerging country and a market back home that can afford to pay top prices for unique, high-quality products. In the process, you can mark-up the goods to create an income for yourself.
A New "Nation" Emerges, Sweet Profits and much more…
Scandinavia is one of the most expensive regions in the world… and Norway is usually the most expensive country within Scandinavia. But thanks to a falling oil price coinciding with a rising U.S. dollar, Norway is on the bargain counter. The Norwegian krone recently touched a 13-year low against the dollar, while the shares of Statoil, Norway's largest oil company, recently bounced off a six-year low (in dollar terms). These multi-year lows offer enticing buying opportunities for the forward-looking investor.
Bali: An Easy and Beautiful Place to Live
It's the simple things I love most about life in Bali, one of more than 17,000 islands making up the country of Indonesia. For instance, taking my dogs Abby and Yuki for a walk along the beach at sunset, and dropping in to my favorite beach bar, Warung Rasta, for a cold beer or two. The rickety wooden tables sit right on the black, volcanic sand, and it is the perfect place to watch the sun go down, as Java's volcanoes loom to the west. As dogs, chickens, and pigs run around the beach, I give the staff a quick wave and they bring me a beer.
Shamanic Rituals and Ancient Theater
Renowned for its beaches and culture, the Indonesian island of Bali plays host to the annual Bali Arts Festival from June 13. This celebration of traditional art and dance includes tribal dress—resplendent golden headgear, vibrantly-colored saris, and ornate tribal masks—and traditional dance unlikely to be seen anywhere outside the remote villages where it originated. A terrific way to immerse yourself in the unique traditions of the Eastern world while soaking up some glorious rays.
Car-Envy Drives Emerging Markets
I 'd spent the day with Mr. Khun, my translator, as we hopscotched between meetings in Rangoon, Burma, on a sultry morning. I had arrived in the middle of monsoon season and the day's torrential rains had bathed the city clean. Now, the tropical, noonday sun was boiling the puddles into a steamy vapor that embraced the city like a hot Wet-Nap. A pair of large, sliding glass doors glided open and a wave of air-conditioned cool slammed into me.
How to Make the Most of Southeast Asia's New Low-Cost Airlines
The last decade has seen the rise of the low-cost carrier in Southeast Asia. Cheap, short-hop flights now criss-cross the region—much of it spread across the ocean in archipelagos like the Philippines and Indonesia. This boom in no-frills flights means cheap travel and it's one of the reasons that my wife Lisa and I can travel so much. We live in Penang, Malaysia, but whatever Asian destination you chose for your home you'll find it easy to explore the region.
The Six Best Ancient Sites to Visit in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is home to some of the world's most acclaimed and mysterious ancient ruins. Many of these once-bustling cities and monumental religious sites lay forgotten until relatively recently, jungle-shrouded and known only to a few locals, who thought them the haunts of ghosts and spirits. These marvels of the ancient world are now more accessible to travelers than ever before. Some are well known and easy to reach, others are more of an adventure. Here's a rundown…
Festivals Around the World: Rambles, Sacred Music, and Oil Wrestling
Visit the old royal capital of Kyoto, Japan, the weekend of June 1 for Takigi O-Noh to celebrate Japan's ancient musical-theater traditions at the city's Heian Jingu Shrine. Burning torches illuminate the stage and the costumed performers. Across the East China Sea, the Dragon Boat Festival in Xiamen, China, falls on June 2. Gorge on sticky-rice snacks, watch the race, and place a rice parcel in the water in memory of ancient poet Qu Yuan.
Myths about Emerging Markets
Many emerging markets are actually in much better physical shape than the United States. So for instance, while people think of countries like Indonesia as being highly risky from a fiscal standpoint, Indonesia is actually on much sounder financial footing than the U.S.
Find Your Sea Legs with an Affordable Boating Retirement
You've just weighed anchor on another night of bliss, lulled to sleep by the gentle rocking of your sailboat in the calm sea. Before you is a small cove lined by craggy cliffs. Clear blue waters end at a white-sand beach. You've had it all to yourself for the last week. It was supposed to be just an overnight stop. But it was so beautiful, you decided to stick around. After a quick dip, you're enjoying a cup of coffee and a light breakfast on deck as you contemplate which island paradise you'll go to next.
How I Hop Around the Globe with a Steady Income Stream
From 1993 to 1999, I traveled and lived all over the world. And during that time, I got to experience wonderful places like the white-sand beaches of the British Virgin Islands…the cafes of Aix-en-Provence, France…the wild summer parties of Corfu, Greece…the exotic culture of Bali, Indonesia…and more.
Travel Wherever You Want, Whenever You Want
I happen to think that I'm one of the luckiest guys in the world. Not only do I live in Malaysia, a beautiful country on so many levels, but also I love what I do. I travel at will, pretty much at the drop of a hat. I've enjoyed complimentary meals and hotel upgrades along the way.
Splash Out and Rent Luxury in Asia
Asia beckons for many reasons. Tropical islands with white-sand beaches, lush rain forests filled with fragrant blooms, tree-covered misty mountains, and—if you're more a big-city type—some of the most frenetic cities on earth, a heady mix of the ultra-modern and exotic traditions.
Bali…Paris…and Arctic Glaciers — The Joys of Travel Photography
When my husband and I wanted to escape the rainy Seattle winter weather in 2012, we planned a trip to South East Asia and spent a month on assignment exploring luxury resorts and spas in Bali, Indonesia. Last summer we relaxed on a luxury barge floating down the Burgundy canal, sipping French wines, visiting local villages and eating fine food along the way. And we did some other business while we were in the neighborhood—in Paris, London, and Wales (nice neighborhood!).
Follow the Wellness Dollars Overseas
From Bali to Belize, retreat centers are popping up to meet the demand of busy First World clients in search of relaxation. Janine Hall has found a niche for women-only retreats focusing on surf and yoga…Carrie Tengler has made a solid living from the spa and yoga business in Belize…and Kristin Gilbert-Ramirez missed yoga so much on her Costa Rican travels that she set up her own classes and decided to move there permanently.
Dragonboats, Zanzibar and Off to the Proms!
Start the month on a full stomach by heading to Portland, Jamaica, for the annual Portland Jerk Festival. Barbecues will sizzle on July 1, as traditional dishes are devoured in celebration of a cooking technique synonymous with the Caribbean island.
Rent a Home on a Tropical Asian Island
No matter how small the world gets due to technology, Asia retains an exotic allure for North Americans. Maybe it's the distance—on the other side of the globe. Or the huge variety of cultures, cuisines, languages, and ways of life.
Secret Beaches in Indonesia
Surfers and divers have been coming to the Island of Sumbawa, Indonesia since the 1960s; it's a mecca for both sports. They stay for months, returning lean, tan, and relaxed. When their friends back home ask where they've been, they often lie and say Bali. But this island's days as a secret paradise are coming to an end.
Travel Where Surfers Arrive by the VW-Beetle Load
In the middle of the Lesser Sunda Islands, in the Flores Sea, lies the island of Sumbawa. It's a magical island, beautiful, traditional, and one of Indonesia's best preserved. And the warm, turquoise waters surrounding it are a relaxing 90 F.
When Business Meets Pleasure in Bali…
Ubud, on the Indonesian island of Bali, is a lovely place to spend time. Green rice paddies…mixed Balinese and Dutch colonial architecture…and a "big village" feel. Ubud has kept the artsy, Hindu feel that seems mostly missing from the modern beach fronts of Southern Bali.
Romantic Hideaways
At 129 square feet, this apartment is what real-estate agents call "cozy." But it's Paris, city of love and romance. From your fifth-floor balcony you have a view of Place de la République. The square gives its name to the historic neighborhood that surrounds it, where the 3rd, 10th and 11th arrondissements (districts) come together. Le Marais, where some of the oldest buildings in the city line winding, narrow streets, is just a five-minute walk away.
Events: Ecuador…Costa Rica…Thailand
Here's a quick round-up of some of the events coming up over the coming weeks and months.
Weighing the Offerings in Bali
Hidden behind a plain-looking building at the end of Monkey Forest Street, it's the busiest spot in Ubud before sunrise. Hours before a ruckus of motorbikes, tourists, taxis, and noisy cicadas compete for air time in the streets, women gather here daily to collect food for their families and offerings for the gods. It's the main market.

May 6, 2016
Located directly across the street from Archbold Memorial Hospital's emergency room, the 80-foot-long semi is bringing the latest cardiovascular technology to the physicians of Thomasville.
The main attraction at the educational tool on wheels is the surgical labs.
Jay Reid, mobile education center manager, says, "The two simulators have a total of 20 patient hearts, some of which we can put heart catheters in and some pacemaker leads."
The simulators are no dummies. Inside they are equipped with the proper anatomy, something any doctor wanting to learn more about the human heart can appreciate.
Jim Karas, a cardiologist at Archbold, comments, "We always need to be on the cutting edge with technology because cardiology technology keeps building faster and faster and more rapid then ever, and these kind of devices allow us to save lives in ways we could never have before."
Reid adds there's always a learning curve with anything. With this particular technology, the simulators provide that opportunity to get a few cases under your belt before you actually do it on a live person.
It's practice doctors say will come in handy when their services are needed the most in the operating room.
The mobile lab is in Thomasville until Wednesday. It has already helped to train 8,500 medical personnel.

When you're under the gun (and even when you're not), one great way to waste time is to try to get everything perfect the first time around. Phrasing, flow, punctuation, even spelling and grammar. It's hard to be productive and prolific when you do that.
Instead, you should really try to get the first draft out as quickly as possible. Holes and all. From there, edit, rewrite, and restructure. By doing that, you're not only pushing yourself down the road to completing your piece, but also removing some of the stress that could cause you to butt up against a block.
I admit it's not an easy habit to get into, but once you do you'll be able to complete articles, essays, or whatever it is that you're writing in record time.

First, let me say this forum has convinced me that there IS something useful on the internet. I have gotten a TON of EXCELLENT advice from here. I have some 1/2 Ironman questions regarding hydration and food:
Basically, at what point do I need to start taking in calories and how much? Regarding hydration, is there a formula, say, like "drink 2 oz of water every 6 miles of the bike"? I did one of these before and drank about 24 oz of water during the bike (8 coming out of the swim). I ate 1/2 of a Power Bar about 10 miles into the bike ride with a salt tablet (almost died trying to swallow that mixture without water--I couldn't get my water bottle out of the behind-the-seat rack...won't do that trick again this year :-). On the run, I downed one of those gelatin packets every 2 miles with sips of water in between. We had people collapsing all over--it was around 94 degrees by race end (early August last year)--,but I felt ok. My big concern is that I started at a 7:30/mile pace(my usual is 8:05), dropped to 8:15 by mile 2, then lost about 10 to 15 seconds per mile through the end of the run, swearing to myself that I hadn't slacked my pace, despite what my watch was telling me. I ended up averaging right at 9 minutes per mile. I held a 24.5 mph pace on the bike for the first hour but ended up around 20.8 for the 56 miles(18mph was a MAJOR effort for the last 10 miles), so I'm aiming to bridle the bike back to a level 20.5 throughout with a higher rpm--does this sound like a better strategy? I just don't know why I choked on the run. When I calculate how much time I might cut off by running a mere 30 seconds per mile faster (8:30/mile), it seems that I stand to gain the most this year by NOT trying to be a stud on the bike (emphasis on "trying").
Thanks for any help anyone can give. You've all helped me a great deal. My race is this Sunday.

Endoplasmic Reticulum: An Interface Between the Immune System and Metabolism

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a busy cell organelle that participates in many important cellular tasks. It has been established that ER is involved in protein and lipid biosynthesis, calcium regulation, redox regulation, cell signaling, and cell death. Given the many vital and complex functions of ER, there is little wonder that its failure can trigger a range of diseases. Recent genetic and clinical evidence indicates that inherited or acquired dysregulation of ER homeostasis can give rise to genetic diseases, including Wolfram syndrome (which is characterized by juvenile-onset diabetes and neurodegeneration) and a number of common metabolic diseases including diabetes and atherosclerosis. Accelerating interest in the role of ER in metabolic disease has been fueled by recent reports showing pathways that link ER to inflammation. The role of ER as an interface between the immune system and metabolism is an emerging concept (Fig. 1). However, …

The Girl from Summer Hill
by Jude Deveraux
- Romance
Love is a force of nature
In a Virginia mountain town full of history and tradition, sparks fly as fiery Casey Reddick and brooding Hollywood actor Tate Landers clash in the summer heat.
A chef who puts career first and love life second, Casey finds Tate gorgeous, but stuck-up, nothing like his ex-brother-in-law, Devlin. Both are acting in a local production of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, but how could Casey be star-struck when she's heard Devlin's damning stories about Tate?
As they rehearse, however, Casey finds herself attracted to Tate—any physical contact literally gives her a tingling electric shock. As opening night draws near, who should Casey believe, Devlin or Tate? She's come to love that jolt she gets when they touch—but will she get burned?
