Interview | Journalist Stephanie Gutmann on press bias in the Middle East and how the internet is providing a remedy
Two subjects of interest to many WORLD subscribers, press bias and the survival of Israel, come together in Stephanie Gutmann's The Other War: Israelis, Palestinians, and the Struggle for Media Supremacy (Encounter Books, 2005). Ms. Gutmann, a graduate of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism who has written for publications ranging from The New Republic to Cosmopolitan, readably but carefully covers the propaganda war against Israel from 2000 to 2004 and the complicity of leading U.S. media in it.
WORLD: The Other War has a great cover photo of a young Palestinian apparently throwing a rock on cue as two dozen photographers snapped pictures. Did the opportunity to be a star motivate staged action?
GUTMANN: It's very likely. West Bank demonstrators and photographers have a very co-dependent relationship. I feature excerpts from a memoir, Shutterbabe, written by photojournalist Deborah Kogan, in which she describes her daily routine while working in Israel and the territories. After breakfast Kogan and colleagues would "drive around the West Bank and wait for the Palestinian kids to throw rocks at Israeli soldiers, which we knew they would do only once a critical mass of journalists assembled." Media coverage propelled events, was used to justify events, and amplified events.
WORLD: You write about The New York Times running an AP photo of a bloodied man apparently beaten by a rage-filled soldier carrying a club. The Times caption was, "A Palestinian and an Israeli soldier on the Temple Mount," but the photo was actually of . . .
GUTMANN: A young Jewish man and an Israeli policeman who had come to his defense! A young American named Tuvia Grossman had been on his way to synagogue that evening in a cab in the Old City section of Jerusalem. Imams then were appearing nightly on Palestinian Authority--produced television shows telling the faithful that "the Jews" were planning to tear down their mosque in East Jerusalem.
Grossman's cab was idling in traffic when a bunch of Arab youths swarmed around it, dragged Grossman out of the car, and began to stab and kick him. Somehow Grossman managed to break away and run to a nearby Israeli police outpost. He had just arrived and collapsed on the ground in front, and a policeman had just run out roaring at the pursuing youths and waving his baton, when some Associated Press photographer popped up and snapped a shot.
Apparently the AP photog didn't bother to identify his photo subjects because he wrote the "Palestinian youth/Israeli soldier" caption which all the other newspapers went on to use. The caption was wrong in so many ways! Soldiers wear different uniforms than policemen and they carry different weaponry. The incident didn't even occur "on the Temple Mount": There are traffic signs and a car in the background of the shot, and since no cars are allowed on the ultra-holy Temple Mount (home to Al-Aqsa mosque among other places of worship), this should have been clear to any editor who perused the shot and the supplied caption. To me the whole incident personified the ignorance-and the knee-jerk prejudices-that inform media coverage of the area.
WORLD: According to CBS, The New York Times, and other outlets, Israeli soldiers shot to death a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, Mohammed al-Dura. What really happened?
GUTMANN: It is highly unlikely that the boy was shot by Israeli soldiers. Anyone who's shot as much as a pop gun can determine this by taking a hard look at the placement of the bullet holes. There was an awful lot of shooting by all sorts of people (Israeli troops, Palestinian security forces, sundry bystanders) from different angles and at different distances around the "crime scene." The speed at which the press decided that the boy had been "cut down by Israeli fire," as one publication put it, was truly breathtaking.
WORLD: If Palestinians have acted as brutally as you say, why haven't we seen more film or photos of their atrocities?
GUTMANN: The Palestinian brutality we don't hear much about comes in two types. There's Palestinian-on-Palestinian brutality-the Arafat regime was ruthless to its subjects and to dissidents. There's also the execution-style killing of women and children who happened to be (or were mistaken for) Jewish settlers living in communities sprinkled through the disputed territories.
The reason we didn't know more about this until very recently is what my book is about, but a couple of easy answers are (1) it's not easy to capture acts of terrorism on TV, because terrorism is by nature a surprise attack; and (2) until recently the Palestinian Authority government was able to keep a very tight lid on its own press so that scenes unflattering to the PA government (violence, disorder) did not appear. The foreign press tended overwhelmingly to cooperate with these "guidelines" as well.
Also, execution-style killings of mothers with their children did not receive much coverage because many press people adopted the PLO line on settlers, i.e., that they should be considered, as I heard a PLO spokeswoman put it, "legitimate combatants."
WORLD: You write that the citizen-soldiers of the Israeli Defense Force would be terrific subjects for human-interest stories, but U.S. reporters have shown little interest. Why?
GUTMANN: The foreign press people seemed deathly afraid of seeming to help the Israeli government with flattering or favorable coverage. Appearing to be a friend of Israel could get you in trouble with officials of the Palestinian Authority, with your colleagues, even with some of your editors. There was also the widely held belief that Israel didn't deserve favorable coverage, and that the Palestinians-stereotyped as uniformly poor, oppressed, and "developing world"-shouldn't be saddled with critical coverage on top of all their other problems.
WORLD: Surely you're not going to tell us that the infamous Jenin massacre wasn't one . . .
GUTMANN: Jenin was not a massacre in any way, shape, or form. It was an armed conflict, a battle, between two determined forces-Israeli Defense Force soldiers vs. terror militia members and fedayeen (sympathizers). The reason it was easy to portray it as a massacre is that once again, as in the Iraq conflict, as in Fallujah, et al., the terror militia stationed themselves in a densely populated town and in effect drew the IDF in, made them fight a kind of urban warfare among houses and on city streets. The IDF was very careful to warn the civilians of the impending attack and let them get out-and most did-but some civilians were left behind. Overall, UN investigators determined in the end that about 45 Palestinians died, mostly all men in the 18- to 45-year-old age range.
WORLD: You write that the advent of blogging has led to an improvement in Western press reporting in Israel. Why is that, and are you optimistic that coverage will improve?
GUTMANN: Yes, I absolutely love the blogosphere and websites like yours. This is a very hopeful time for journalism. The major media had become a standard monopoly-arrogant, unaccountable, and regimented in their thinking. Most members of the mainstream media-the MSM-simply can't see this because "fish can't see the water they swim in." But did you ever try to get a correction into a newspaper? It's like fighting the proverbial city hall. But the internet introduced competition and, well, we know the effect competition tends to have. The MSM are now running very scared as they see ratings decline and circulations slip and they're beginning-just beginning-to consider that maybe they lost touch with their base.
Coverage of Israel has improved somewhat because of events but mainly because of blogs and websites that made it their business to deconstruct MSM coverage, make people see the deficiencies in what they were seeing, and then organize action-from boycotts, to letter writing campaigns, to blitzes of calls and faxes which paralyzed MSM switchboards. So, yes, for the time being Mideast coverage in the U.S. and even Britain is better. And the blogosphere helped make it happen.

You can customise your policy further with pre-existing medical condition cover, sports and a number of other specialist add-ons.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition its vital that you declare it or you could invalidate your entire policy. Insurers dont like to think that youve hidden things from them and you may be surprised to find out that many common medical conditions such as allergies can be added without any additional cost. Whats more, you even have the option to declare a condition but then exclude it from your policy. What this means is that youve told your insurer about your condition but decided not to cover it, so you will be covered medically for anything unrelated to that condition.
A decent policy will include cover for many sporty or adventure activities as standard. However the more adventurous or dangerous the activity, like winter sports, the more likely it is that you will need to purchase additional sports insurance.

Testing of hundreds of high school students found 2% of them had a positive skin test for tuberculosis. That amounts to 13 or 14 students.
Last week parents at Ayden-Grifton High School were notified after one student was found with the disease that is spread through the air.
The 689 students were given the skin tests on Monday and on Wednesday those results came back. County Health Director Dr. John Morrow says he's not surprised by the results, that's because he said if they tested a large cross section of Pitt County they would expect 5% to come back positive.
The next step is for those with positive skin test to have a chest x-ray which will determine if they have the bacteria and therefore infected. Until confirmed these are just suspected cases, the health director says.
Chest x-rays should come back in the next 24 hours.
A few students were not eligible for the skin test, and instead had to have a blood test performed and that could take weeks to come back.
Morrow says the will have to re-test all the students who return to Ayden-Grifton in August for a two month checkup to make sure they're not infected with TB.
Previous Story
Students and staff at a Pitt County high school will undergo tests for tuberculosis after a confirmed case at the school.
On Monday, those at Ayden-Grifton High School will get a simple skin test for the disease after a student was diagnosed with TB.
The symptoms for TB can be fever, night sweats, weight loss and a cough that gets worse through time. It is spread thought the air when someone infected speaks, coughs or sneezes.
Pitt County Schools spokeswoman Heather Mayo says they are sending out letters to parents today letting them know of the testing. Mayo says since exams are now underway, they will perform the TB tests in the afternoons. The results will be read on Wednesday.
Health Director Dr. John Murrow says there are an average of some six TB cases a year in Pitt County. Last year there were seven confirmed cases.
Mayo says this is the first case at one of their schools in the six or seven years that she's been with the school system.

Don't go cookie-less this Christmas
Cookies go together with a lot of things: cookies and milk, cookies and hot chocolate and, the ever popular cookies and cream ice cream.
But cookies go best with Christmas. It just wouldn't be Christmas without cookies. Plus, Santa is more likely to leave a few extra gifts at your house if he can linger over a plate of cookies you've left for him.
A word of warning: If you travel to the United Kingdom and you have a hankering for some cookies, be sure to ask for biscuits. Actually, if you ask for a cookie in Scotland, you'll get a plain bun, instead.
If you don't plan on making cookies, but still want to present a nice, full plate of the confections during the holidays why not visit one of three cookie sales in the area this Saturday. These are commonly called "cookie walks," since you take your container and fill up with the cookies you want as you walk along the table. Often there are also candy and breads for sale. Normally, you pay by the pound.
Three cookie sales, which all start at 9 a.m. Saturday, are at:» Read Full Article
Video: Hartland's Jim McLoone reflects on Honor Flight, time in military
Many experiences made an impression on Hartland resident and Korean War veteran Jim McLoone during a recent Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C., but he said the reception the veterans received both in the nation's capital and upon their return was among the most memorable.
The 87-year-old McLoone, former owner and publisher of Lake Country Publications, was among two planeloads of veterans — many from the area — who took part in the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight on Saturday, May 14, to see the war memorials that stand in their honor.
He said they left Washington to "standing ovations and great music," and found the same upon their return to Milwaukee, with about 2,000 well-wishers lining up to greet the vets at the airport, with music provided by the Greater Milwaukee Fire and Police Pipes and Drums and the Kettle Moraine High School marching band.
"It brought tears to my eyes, and I think it did to many of the others," McLoone said. "We were very appreciative of all the support that had been given to us."
Serving as McLoone's guardian on the trip was his son-in-law Tom Slattery, also of Hartland and an Air Force veteran.» Read Full Article
Oconomowoc Police Chief Dave Beguhn to retire by end of year
The city of Oconomowoc will bid farewell to its chief of police before the end of the year.
Dave Beguhn, 57, has informed city leaders, including the city administrator, the mayor and the police and fire commission, of his intention to retire on Dec. 1. However, with accrued personal and vacation time, the target date for his departure is Oct. 28.

Village of Wales Gulf War veteran to march in Washington, D.C., Memorial Day parade
Twenty-five years ago, more than 600,000 service members took part in Operation Desert Storm, at the time the largest deployment of U.S. armed forces since Vietnam.

Town of Merton to hire part-time employee to assist treasurer
Town of Merton — Some help is on the way for the town treasurer.
The Town Board voted unanimously Monday, May 23 to hire a part-time person to assist Town Treasurer Meg Weishar with some of her duties.
The decision came after Weishar told supervisors she could use some help with billing tasks.
"I am approving the vouchers, essentially," Weishar said. "I am entering the vouchers. I am printing the checks. I am creating the new vendors. I am mailing the checks out. Our auditors would have a field day with this situation."

Pewaukee Village Board waives part of condo's false fire alarm fees
Village of Pewaukee — Elected leaders in the village have forgiven a portion of a pricey false fire alarm bill facing a local condominium.
The village board voted last week to forgive $7,618 — the balance of what Pewaukee Shores still owed the village for incurring several false alarm fees, because trustees said the condo had made a reasonable effort to address the problem that resulted in several false fire alarms in 2014, translating to a bill of nearly $20,000.
"This particular address really got hit with the brunt of the blow, with tens of thousands of dollars of false alarm fees," Trustee Joe Zompa said. "And it's not because they were not diligent and not trying to fix things. They had an unusual problem. They had a faulty system. It took a long time to get through the diagnostics."
Jeff Knutson said the condo has been working for the last year-and-a-half to try to fix the fire alarm system, and now plans to put in a new one.
"Everything is going to be replaced — all the alarm system, piping, everything," Knutson said. "I believe the cost is somewhere between $80,000 and $90,000."» Read Full Article
Arrowhead High School collects 831 pounds of medication at pill drop
Students at Arrowhead High School's Medical Terminology & Business Practices course recently held their sixth annual pill drop — and it was their most successful yet.
On Friday, May 13, students collected a total of 831 pounds of prescription and nonprescription drugs at the Mullett Ice Center, nearly double the amount collected the year before, according to a news release from the school.
The number of participants also was up sharply, with 336 people dropping off pills this year compared to 212 last year and 158 in 2014.
Two-thirds of this year's participants said this was their first time contributing to any drug collection event.
"Hosting such a successful event makes our students very proud to know that they play a big part in getting these drugs off our streets and keeping them out of our water supply, landfills or getting into the wrong hands," staff organizers Laura Miller and Annette LeMieux said in the news release.
Neighbors express concern at hearing for fill site in Big Bend
Village of Big Bend —Community members arrived steadily at the Big Bend Village Hall for the public hearing on May 17 to express their concerns regarding the Phase II conditional use permit for the property owned by John Kaishian.
Members of the West Allis Training Kennel Club and residents of the Heather Ridge Homeowners reiterated issues that the Kaishian property had during the phase I permit issued by the village, and enforced by both the municipality and the Department of Natural Resources.
Members of the WATKC, including Gary Epple, cited repeated issues with stormwater runoff into the Kennel Club's property, west of the fill site. The DNR has issued a phase II permit for the site, which had been inspected as recently as May 10. Bryan Hartsook, a storm water specialist for the DNR, said the property has best management practices in place, which help control the sediment runoff. "Without those best management practices you get runoff from fill material that gets into the resources, things like silt and sediment," Harstook said.
Jim Melms from the Kennel Club, had concerns about after hours dumping at the property. "There were also late nights that I would be out there, I work late nights, and the gate would be locked and no one would be there," Melms said. "I would follow a dump truck, watch someone get out, close (the gate) behind them, go to the hill and watch them dump over the side."
Melms had not reported the dumping to the police department, but Jennifer Langbauer, president of the Heather Ridge Homeowners Association said that Village Planner Mary Censky knew of the late night dumping. John Hahn, a resident of the Heather Ridge subdivision was most concerned about the late night dumping because there wouldn't be anyone there to monitor what's being dumped.» Read Full Article
Dave Pfeiffer resigns as Kettle Moraine football coach
Dave Pfeiffer, the head football coach at Kettle Moraine High School the last three years, resigned from that post last Friday after meeting with KM principal Jeff Walters and athletics director Mike Fink.
Fink said Monday afternoon that the search for a new head coach will begin immediately.

Fritz Rauch, former head coach at Grafton and a former coordinator at Homestead, was hired to fill the open position.
Pfeiffer, 59, was the defensive coordinator in 2012 before leaving Arrowhead to take the KM head coaching position.» Read Full Article
Caretaker allegedly stole credit card from resident at Oconomowoc memory care facility
City of Oconomowoc — An Ashippun woman allegedly made two dozen illegal transactions over three weeks earlier this year with a credit card she stole from a woman she was supposed to be taking care of at a local assisted living and memory care facility, a criminal complaint says.
Larissa Moldenhauer, 26, also reportedly told her boyfriend not to talk to police about the allegations after she became the primary suspect in the investigation, but later admitted she was responsible for the fraudulent charges.
Moldenhauer was charged May 13 in Waukesha County Circuit Court with identity theft and theft of moveable property, both felonies. She made her initial court appearance the same day.
According to the complaint, the card, which belongs to a resident at The View at Pine Ridge facility, was left in a wallet on the resident's nightstand by her daughter between January and March. Moldenhauer was the resident's caretaker.
Bank statements obtained by the facility's chief executive officer reportedly showed that someone — later identified as Moldhauer — made 26 illegal transactions with the card, totaling $426.45, over a roughly three-week period in late March and early April.» Read Full Article

Global awareness and advocacy
IDF has achieved substantial progress in placing women and diabetes on the global health and development agenda.
The Political Declaration on NCDs, adopted unanimously at the UN High-Level Summit on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) [2] in 2011, includes specific language on maternal and women's health.
Since the Summit, we have worked to turn political promises into action to improve the lives of women with diabetes; and have advocated elevating under-prioritised issues, like gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) [3] and the early origins of diabetes, to the attention of policy makers.
Building the evidence base
IDF has made significant steps in closing the gap in the evidence base for women and diabetes, particularly for GDM. Despite the fact that GDM is accelerating the global type 2 diabetes epidemic, it remains unrecognised by decision makers. The lack of global GDM prevalence data remains a major barrier.
To address this IDF developed an IDF Model Approach to GDM Prevalence which provides a best practice model for collecting consistent, representative and comparable GDM prevalence data. This will facilitate the establishment of global and regional GDM prevalence estimates, which can then be incorporated into the authoritative and globally recognised IDF Diabetes Atlas [4]. The model was launched at the World Diabetes Congress [5] in Dubai in December 2011.
Best practice projects
In 2012, IDF started a three-year project on GDM care in India. The Women in India with GDM Strategy (WINGS) project [6] aims to develop a Model of Care approach for GDM and a situational analysis of the burden of GDM in India. This will provide the necessary evidence base to apply a similar approach to communities all over the world.
Additionally, to date, five research projects on women and diabetes have been carried out by the IDF BRIDGES programme (Bringing Research in Diabetes to Global Environments and Systems). BRIDGES projects investigated diverse issues including: women's health related behaviours, GDM management, primary prevention, and education tools.
Knowledge sharing
In March 2011, IDF and the NCD Alliance held a side-event at the United Nation's 55th Commission on the Status of Women. The panel called for the global health and development community to focus their attention on the impact of NCDs on women and stimulated policy dialogue in the run-up to the UN Summit on NCDs. This event also marked the official launch of the landmark publication "Non-communicable diseases: a priority for women's health and development," by the NCD Alliance.
During the UN Summit on NCDs in September 2011, IDF co-hosted a side event on gender responsive approaches to NCDs with the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO), the NCD Alliance, the Commonwealth Secretariat, and the Partnership for Maternal and Newborn Child Health (PMNCH). The high profile panellists examined new findings on the gender dimensions of the NCD epidemic, discuss implications for NCD policy and practice, and share best practice examples of gender integrated approaches to NCDs.

Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Build a fire in your grill. When the coals are all ignited, the flames have died down, and the temperature is medium (see Gauging the temperature), you're ready to cook.
- Cut each wing into 3 sections. Discard the wing tips or save them for stock.
- Rub the wing pieces with the oil, sprinkle them generously with salt and pepper, then put them on the grill directly over the coals and cook, rolling them around regularly to be sure they cook evenly, until they are golden brown (10-15 minutes). To check for doneness, cut into one to make sure there is no redness near the bone.
- While the wings are cooking, combine the vinegar, chile, mustard, oregano, and salt and pepper in a bowl large enough to hold all of the wings and mix well.
- As the wings come off the grill, add them to the bowl of sauce, turning to coat. Sprinkle the wings with the scallions, squeeze on the lime juice, and serve them right out of the bowl.

May 24, 2016
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Southern California has hired Andy Enfield as men's basketball coach after he took Florida Gulf Coast to the round of 16 of the NCAA tournament.
Athletic director Pat Haden said Monday night that Enfield has reached an agreement to take over at the Pac-12 school.
Haden says Enfield's success at FGCU wasn't a flash in the pan and that his up-tempo style and stingy defense will be fun for both the Trojans players and fans.
The 43-year-old coach was 41-28 in his two seasons at the Fort Myers, Fla., school. He led the Eagles to a school-record 26 wins this season, including upsets of No. 2 seed Georgetown and No. 7 seed San Diego State as a 15th-seed in the NCAA tourney.
Enfield takes over from interim coach Bob Cantu, who had a 7-8 record after succeeding Kevin O'Neill, who was fired in mid-January.

A person who has not yet reached the Sotaapana stage is a puthujjana, a puthujjana that wishes to reach the Ariyaa stage is dissatisfied of his current condition, so what are the benefits of having practiced the Dhamma in a wrong way ?
A birth in the Deva's realm ?
Well, that's pretty pathetic since it's not the goal of the Dhamma practice (it's even harder to realize a Fruit there).
A birth in the human realm ?
Well, except if you can keep your memories you shoudn't expect so much of such a birth... unless if you're a Sakadaagaami.
The goal of every true buddhist is the end of suffering, birth, pain, aging, sickness and death... so how do you call an unsuccessful practice ? A failure.

"Test scores plummet." Those were the headlines about the "seismic" drop in scores following the latest state exams. Apocalypse! Administrators went on the defensive; teachers, whose morale is already abysmally low, were girding to take another hit; angry and confused parents were demanding answers; and concerned students were fearful that their academic futures could be adversely affected.

Tumor Markers
Tumor markers are substances made in excess in the body when cancer or a benign (harmless) condition is present. Tests done on blood or other body fluids can find tumor markers.
Some tumor markers can help the doctor diagnose certain cancers. And tumor markers often help the doctor track a person's response to treatment. For example, a woman with ovarian cancer may have a high CA 125 level when she is first diagnosed. After treatment, her levels of CA 125 should fall. Then if her tumor marker level goes up in the future, it could mean that the cancer has come back.
Some tumor markers help doctors choose the most effective treatment. For example, a person who has non-small cell lung cancer may have a tumor sample checked for the KRAS gene mutation to see if a certain kind of targeted therapy will work.
Tumor markers include:
- ALK gene rearrangements. This is a marker for non-small cell lung cancer and anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
- Cancer antigen 125 (CA 125). This is a marker for ovarian cancer.
- Cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 153). This is a marker for breast cancer.
- Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). This is a marker for breast cancer and colorectal cancer.
- Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. This is a marker for non-small cell lung cancer.
- KRAS mutation. This is a marker for colorectal cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.
- Prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This is a marker for prostate cancer.

I am having some queries ..
I have set the default composing format has html and if I try to reply or forward the mail then it get displayed in text format. I have found the "option" at top right hand from which we can switch to html format while replying or forwarding. Is there any other setting which can be set permanently i.e. html format while new composing, replying or forwarding of mail.
Also, I was thinking that when I try to do reply all, my email id itself is excluded from to or cc field. I have to put it manually i.e. why so the reply all option doesn't include our email id too.
Anyone please can guide me or let me know about the same.

Request: I am not looking for custom commisioned work in this request (although you could create if you wanted) but a pack of encounter style maps in the modern and sci-fi genre that you have previously created and have the rights to sell to me a as a pack. These will be included in Tabletop Forge (a virtual tabletop for Google+ Hangouts) as maps available for quick drop-in. Attribution will be given on each map in the App UI as well as links to creator's website if desired.
Style: Color encounter style batte maps. So as these are for modern and sci-fi I am looking for set locations like a cargo ship hold, a space station, prison, park, etc. Gridded is not necessary as the applicaiton can add those but won't turn any down just because of baked-in grids.
Number of maps: Ideally at least 10 modern and 10 sci-fi but depending on quality will take less.
Size of map: Anywhere from 500x500 up to 2000x2000. PNG preferred.
Copyright: Creator keeps copyright and ability to keep selling. I just need rights to use them in my application (which will be a free app).
Deadline: As this is hopefully for previously created works I would like delivery of maps between August and September.
Budget: Will vary depending on number of maps but between $500 and $2000 (or more for a mega pack).

Women's Basketball Routs West LA By 70 In Rose City Classic Opener
The last time the Pasadena City College women's basketball team played a real contest at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium, it was one of the most discouraging moments in head coach Joe Peron's 18 years running the Lancers. The team lost to Irvine Valley in the SoCal Regional Playoffs ending the program's 18-0 run in playoff games played at the HP Gym.
On Thursday, forgive the Lancers if the had an extra step on their fast breaks, an extra hard play on defense, or even an extra push or two against the opponent. PCC decimated West Los Angeles College in the third largest rout in Lancers history, 104-34, on opening night of the 2013-14 season in the first round of the 15th Rose City Classic Tournament.
It was the 16th time in school history that PCC reached the century mark in points and first time in three years. PCC will now face South Coast Conference foe El Camino in the championship semifinals on Friday, Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. El Camino used 17 points by Faith Matsuda and 15 second-half points from Shontalene Trudeau to defeat Taft, 77-57, in another first round game.
In the PCC 13-14 debut, transfer sophomore guard Skai Thompson led the way for the Lancers with 19 points. Thompson, the only Lancer starter to reach double digits in scoring, added six rebounds, four assists and three steals and sank two 3-point bombs.
PCC returning guard Tyler Crockom nearly had a triple-double as she scored nine points, dished out nine assists and made a whopping 10 of the Lancers' 35 steals on the evening. WLAC was forced into 48 turnovers overall.
The Lancers bench had some fun with three players in double figures led by Emily Thach with 14 points (6-for-8 from the field). Returning letterman Averie-Alice Guzman also knocked down 14 points, including a pair of 3's and newcomer Joelle Tucker added 11 points and four steals.
All 12 PCC players scored a basket as starting and returning All-SCC center Kaitlyn Parks with eight points and six rebounds, returning point guard Desiree Loving with eight points, six steals and five assists, and letterman forward Brandi DuBose grabbing seven rebounds and scoring two points. The reserves included eight points from Tyler Polk, seven points, five rebounds, three assists, and three steals by Bailey Williams, and four points from Kandace Payne.
"All the nervous energy of practicing hard in the pre-season paid off with a really strong outing out of the gate for us," Peron said. "We know we are capable of pressuring other teams and this was an example of what happens when you play 40 minutes of basketball."
PCC had a plethora of baskets on steals that led to fast breaks.
The Friday semifinals are as follows:
2 p.m.--Citrus v. Canyons
If the Lancers defeat El Camino, they would face the winner of the Irvine Valley/Long Beach contest in the Rose City championship final on Saturday, Nov. 16 at 5 p.m.

This is what I would like to see in Desktop Client:
1. Possibility to copy emails and contacts between accounts. Currently there is only MOVE option available
2. When I try to write new email the program is searching in global contact book by default, I would like it to look in all contacts in all accounts. It is so hard to use the system, Mozzila Thunderbird is way ahead with user interface, if they would have exchange, contacts, calendar, etc support then I would not use Zimbra as email client at all.
3. Possibility to turn off social tab if I am not using it.
4. Program to remember when I resize columns and windows.
5. Possibility to move accounts up and down
6. Ability to define if new email should come as a separate window or be nested within main window.
It is very nice program but needs a bit of love touch making it easy in use.
Thnx, this is all I can thing about at this stage.

Hello there sirs and ladies, I am here to request a map from a talented mapmaker!
So, basically, this is a map of a somewhat large medieval-style continent, called Faladhom. Basically, it is divided into 4 main kingdoms: Endûr, Arnvor, Alinor, Havenoth, and Illiuil. Endûr and Arnvor are the two largest kingdoms of men, and Alinor is a medium-sized kingdom of men again. Havenoth is a small Dwarven kingdom, and Illuil is the medium-size Elven kingdom. The kingdoms are divided by mountains ranges, with a scattered with few-and-far-between mountains gaps. Havenoth, the Dwarf kingdom in the north, is a frosty, cold, pine-forest covered land, with only two main cities: Zavahar, which is in the western borders of the land, and Belhaur, located in the very center. Belhaur is also right next to the River Canhuil, which runs right through Havenoth. Havenoth also has 1 town in it, located in the south, called Karmauth.
The next kingdom, Illuil, is on the western coast. The two cities, Varioth and Orphaus, are both on the coastline. The three towns of Illuil; Nemril, Jarmio and Peete, are scattered about the eastern and southhern lands of Illuil. Illuil is also half-covered by deciduous forests.
Next kingdom! Alinor is a desolate plain-land in the east of the continent. Only one city sits here: Godnar, the great city of men and also the capital city of this land. Alinor has in it 4 great lakes: Calivros, Enûin, Ainulendë and Narfaul. These large bodies of water are scattered about the land. There are three towns in Alinor, all of which are on the coasts of the 4 lakes. The towns are: Yarnor, Greyfall, Blackwood and Goldshire.
Alright, the next land I will be describing is Arnvor, the second largest continent, after Alinor. It is mostly rolling hills, with the few-and-fair-between deciduous forests. Alinor has in it three cities, all on seats of the mountain ranges. The cities are: Ûndûl, Havroth and Lendor. There are no towns of any significance.
Last nation! This is Endûr, a medium size land on the southwestern coast. It is completely covered with deciduous forests, with only 4 towns: Narvelle, Wessernoth, Parhaus and Imphariel. There are also many rivers running through this land.
Of course, throughout all this land, there are many rivers, which I have not thought of the location. If someone wishes to make this map, they can put the rivers wherever they want, but with these names: The River Henûl, the River Baurus, the River Ranweth, the River Enduin, and the River Turgaul.
So much for a brief description.
Regarding the quality and size, I am looking for the Tolkien-type style of maps:
And for the size, I am looking for standard print size, 8.5 x 11 inches.
This map will be used purely for personal use, and I will not use it for commercial purposes and/or make any money off of it.
If anyone would be so generous as to create me this map, I would be so greatful. Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and have a nice day!
Thanks again!
- Biofrell.

I used mayo instead of miracle whip, just a personal preference
Awesome! I took advantage of cheap Thanksgiving Turkey deals & bought a few extra Turkeys to deep freeze. We will be having a once monthly "Turkey Week." This made a great leftover Turkey meal that didn't feel like Thanksgiving! I added Shredded Swiss Cheese both in the soup mix and sprinkled it on top. I also flash steamed fresh broccoli instead of using frozen. Yummy!
This recipe was very good. I had cut up a turkey and froze the pieces for later. I took the left over carcus (with lots of meat still on it) and boiled it to make stock. After cooking it, I had about 3 cups of meat. It was more shredded than chopped.I used that meat for this recipe. I also omitted the broccoli, because I didn't have any. This was so yummy. If i make it again, I'll make sure and add the broccoli.

Every year around Valentine's Day I say to myself, "Self, if I see another thing shaped like a heart I am going to barf!" And then I usually see fifty more things shaped like hearts, and I usually don't barf. But if you are sick of buying chocolate shaped hearts, you might love these other slightly more original – and, for the most part, less fattening – goodies instead.

Porto Cervo Travel guide
Porto Cervo : Michelin's recommendations
A holiday resort of international renown and haunt of the rich and famous, Porto Cervo, completed in 1962, was the first village built by the Costa Smeralda Consorzio, and remains its finest achievement. Stella Marisa, the building that symbolises the Costa Smeralda, towers over the village and its Piazzetta. This is the meeting point for all of Porto Cervo's high society and the provider of plenty of ad hoc services. There is a small lagoon at the far end of the bay next to the original marina and two beautiful beaches, Cala del Faro and Liscia Rena, the latter of which is much quieter.

Professionals not excluded.
10 years and 175 observatories later, we are currently in the process of upgrading both our home model and our club model plans as the observatories have evolved over time and we do a lot of things differently now compared to when the plans first came out. The new plans will necessarily cost a bit more when they're finished.
While stock supplies last, the original 11'6"x11'6" Home Model (CJE-1) plans are $10 off the regular $35 price and the 16'x24' Club Model plans regularly sold for $135 for a set of 3 are now $40 per set.
Prices include shipping in the US and Canada. Over seas may be a few more dollars but we only charge the difference.
Club Model Plans (single set) $40
Club Model Plans (set of 3) $100
Home Model Plans $25

Thanks to DtL reader (and def rabid Rafanatic) Meri again for a new behind-the-scenes video featuring Rafael Nadal!
A day after getting mobbed at the airport, the world's top baller was spotted back in Palma shooting a TV spot. I'm not sure what it's for or what the newscaster is saying here (feel free to add translation in the comments section) but does it really matter?
Rafa looks great and def in a relaxed, happy mood.
Ah, to be 22-years old, loaded, and on top of the (tennis) world.
*hides face from Starbucks patrons, cries into backpack*
BONUS: The Aussie Open champ posted one last blog for The Times after his big win on Sunday. Here it is in case you missed it:
HI everyone, I am writing this last blog from the Australian Open. I say from the Oz Open and not Melbourne since I am writing it on the plane on my way back home. There are many questions that you can ask me and most of them have been answered at the press conference. I just want to say a few more things... First that I didn't have that much time to celebrate. Let me explain why:
I got to the hotel at around 3.30 am. The work doesn't finish on court with the prize giving ceremony... After that a lot of things are still happening: TV interviews, Anti-Doping Control, press conference, more TV interviews, radio interviews, live interviews with some radios in Spain and finally back to the locker room to celebrate with my team. We had some sparkling wine there and we celebrated a bit. We also brought in the Spanish media reps tha travelled all the way to Melbourne and stayed there these weeks with us.
As I say I got back to hotel at around 3.30am and I know that Benito, my PR guy, had a party ready at a local club. We thought about going but I had something to eat and had to do massage or I would have been really tired. So we decided to stay in the room. It as around 4.30am and anyway the club was closed then. So we stayed and watched some football on TV. There was nothing we could do. It was too late!!! We ate and simply stayed there.
I had to wake up pretty early since had to do more press. The Spanish media came to the hotel and I talked to them. Also to Neil Harman from this newspaper. Then the official photo with the trophy that you have probably seen in the paper. Then more one on ones. After that we went back to the hotel and had lunch at my favorite restaurant. We ate Japanese and then went back to the room to get all the luggage ready. Lots of bags, lots of them. Got to the airport and here I am. I am getting back home after 30 hours traveling...
Anyway, it has been an amazing tournament. I am very, very happy as you can all imagine and I am also happy I have now 2/3 days at home before going to Rotterdam to my next tournament. I didn't play well there last year and I would love to do well.
Thanks all for reading this blog, for all your questions, for all your support and for following this. I also have a great time although I missed a couple of blogs... Apologies for that.
Bye and thanks.

In my area, there are plenty of gas stations which sell gasoline without any ethanol.That's where I buy my gas.
+1 The funny part is the 10 cent rule. If regular (with ethanol) is $2.00 per gal, pure gas is $2.10If regular (with ethanol) is $3.00 per gal regular is $3.10ethanol is now $3.62 here and guess what regular is $3.72I am not very smart, just tryin to get by.
Looks to me like the ones who need to be in jail are the ones who are making the rules.
Ice:Everything you mention may be true but just where does that leave you when the only gas available is an alcohol/gas mix from a dual fuel pump?If you ran it bone dry, your motorcycles gas tank cannot possibly hold the full 4 gallons you will be required to buy .It wouldn't surprise me a bit for a filling station to refuse to sell you fuel if it came to selling you less than the mandate and violating the EPA's law or not selling you any fuel and complying with the law.

I switched to Zimbra this weekend, and I am having a strange issue.
Some of my outgoing emails are deferring, saying the connection is timing out. I have checked the domain MX records for the domains that these emails are being sent to, and in every case, the IP address that shows in the deferred mail notification (mousing over the deferred mail in the Manage Mail Queues panel) is the IP of the domain name, not the MX of the domain.
I have a split DNS setup, with an outside MTA receiving mail and routing them to Zimbra, and outgoing mail going out directly from the Zimbra server.
for example: a message sent to firstname.lastname@example.com is deferred with the message: connect to yahoo.com[184.108.40.206]: connection timed out
a 'dig yahoo.com' returns:
yahoo.com. 300 IN A 18.104.22.168

and a 'dig mx yahoo.com' returns:

So you can see, it's trying to send the email to the main A record for yahoo.com and not the MX.
Anyone have any ideas?

William M. Welch, USA TODAY
A masked gunman opened fire in a suburban Portland, Ore., mall crowded with holiday shoppers Tuesday, killing two people and wounding at least one other person before taking his own life, sheriff's deputies said.
Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts said Wednesday that the shooter didn't appear to be targeting anyone.
"It looked as though it was a random shooting," he told NBC's Today show. "It's very apparent he had a mission set forth to take the lives of people in that mall."
Roberts would not identify the gunman because of the ongoing investigation. He said the victims would be identified later Wednesday. He confirmed the shooter was wearing a mask but couldn't say whether he had on body armor.
Roberts said that the number of law enforcement officers responding to the scene -- at least 100 -- helped reduce the number of casualties as well as the fact that the shooter's gun jammed. Not of the officers fired weapons.
Hundreds of holiday shoppers and store workers were in the Clackamas Town Center when the first shots were heard around 3:30 p.m. PT. The mall is one of the biggest in the state.
As the shooting started many of the shoppers immediately took cover or hid in stores inside the mall while the gunman fired as many as 60 shots.
"It was chaos," Roberts said. He said 10,000 people were in the mall at the time.
Law enforcement officers were going through the mall room by room to be sure no more terrified bystanders were still hiding more than two hours after the shooting, Rhodes said. He said at least one person was hospitalized with "traumatic injury."
Witnesses described the gunman as wearing a white mask and carrying a high-powered rifle. They said he fired a series of rounds in the mall's food court area. of the mall.
Austin Patty, 20, who works at Macy's, said he saw a man in a white mask carrying a rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest, and told the Associated Press that he heard the gunman say, "I am the shooter," as if announcing himself. Patty said he ducked to the ground as a series of rapid shots were fired, then ran to safety.
Alina Pavlenko, 16, who was working at a cupcake stand in the mall, said she saw the gunman shoot at a woman and watched her fall, then saw the shooter point in her direction and fire.
"He looked straight at me, and he aimed but he missed," Pavlenko told The Oregonian. She said she froze.
"He kept on shooting, and he kept on walking," Pavlenko said. "He wasn't running. He was walking so slow. He dropped the thing he used to load bullets, and he just slowly picked it up and put back in again."
Hannah Baggs, 14, said she looked directly at the gunman just moments before he entered the mall and opened fire. "He was, like, 10 feet away from us, wearing a white mask and carrying something heavy with both hands," the high school freshman told The Oregonian. "He went running into the store. I was scared, but I didn't tell my mom because I didn't want to get her upset."
Julie Donohue, 60, of Milwaukie, Ore., told the newspaper she was sitting near the windows in a restaurant when she heard screaming and saw people fleeing Macy's.
"I told the people around me that we had to leave now. I left my food and got outside just as the police arrived," Donohue said. "I just couldn't stop shaking."
Camille Shupe, 20, of Monmouth, Ore., was reading books at the Barnes & Noble store when she heard loud pops. She did not immediately recognize them as gunfire but saw people running from the store.
"I dropped my phone and left," she said. "I knew this is for real.''

Sept. 3, 2012
DeKalb, Ill. - Northern Illinois offensive coordinator Mike Dunbar's duties have been reassigned so that he can continue an ongoing battle with cancer, NIU Head Coach Dave Doeren announced Monday.
Dunbar, a veteran collegiate coach who is in his first year with the Huskies, received the original diagnosis shortly after his arrival at NIU in February, Doeren said. He went through an aggressive treatment in the spring and recovered through the summer with the anticipation of being fully recovered for the 2012 season. However, following his latest medical update, Doeren and Dunbar determined that Dunbar needs to make his health his No. 1 priority going forward.
"Football was never a part of our conversation, this is about Mike Dunbar and what is best for his health," Doeren said. "I want his focus and attention to be on battling cancer, not on scoring points. He is a special member of our staff and every ounce of his energy needs to go toward winning this battle right now. Mike is a great man, a good father and an upper echelon coach. We will do everything we can to support him."
"I am so appreciative of Dave Doeren and Jeff Compher, and the support I have received from the NIU Football Family, from the athletic department and from the administration," Dunbar said. "Everyone at NIU has been terrific. Right now, this is a personal battle and my family and I, along with my medical team, are going to take it on."
Doeren said that Dunbar's duties will be divided between NIU offensive line coach and run-game coordinator Rod Carey and fullbacks/tight ends coach Joe Tripodi. Carey will serve as the Huskies' offensive coordinator while continuing to coach the offensive line, while Tripodi will be elevated to a full-time assistant coach and take on recruiting responsibilities. Carey is in his second season at Northern Illinois; Tripodi is in his third season with the Huskie program.
Northern Illinois (0-1) takes on UT Martin (1-0) Saturday at 6 p.m. (CT) at Huskie Stadium.

So did you get the latest issue of TENNIS magazine yet? No worries - here are some highlights from the pub's October edition:
- "The Curious Case of Nikolay Davydenko" by Peter Bodo which takes a look at the man who sat squarely in the middle of the match-fixing scandal
- "How to be a Good Tennis Parent", a special guide for all those stage parents who want to live vicariously through their (maybe) talented mini-ballers
- "The Golden Year", a look back at Steffi Graf's historic Golden Slam run in 1988
With magazines and newspapers struggling to keep subscribers and the internet taking chunks of their ad revenue, could this be signs of trouble for TENNIS magazine?

- Rafael Nadal on the three things he can't live without on the road
Are you insane Rafa? Screw the "someone from my team" crap. You MUST bring the Playstation.
¿Por qué? Mira.
(image via Mark Metcalfe/Getty Images)
Labels: Australian Open, player quotes, Rafael Nadal, tennis
Are you sure he said, "someone from my team," and not "someone from DTL"?ReplyDelete
true natch.
"someone from my team" must be code for "a few lusty Rafanatics from DtL to be waiting for me at my hotel room ready to play strip playstation, undies optional. Less to worry about taking off, no? I might bring Gilles too!"
I mean, that's what I read.
I told you that he sends encoded messages to the Rafanatics.ReplyDelete
"my team" is totally code for DtL Rafanatics...i'm 100% sure. :)ReplyDelete
Yes, that must be it. It sounds just like him. If he brings Tommy Haat, I mean Haas, dibs on him. That must be what he meant by bringing 4 with him. Tommy, Gilles...and who else??? I vote for Ross or Dokic coach (who cares what his name is.)ReplyDelete
Natch, I vote for Yoann Gourcuff even though he plays soccer instead of tennis. Gosh, I'm obsessed with him today but can you blame me? Look at him!
(thanks for the picks Sara!)
haha I put picks instead of pics. he's so hot I can't spell let alone put my pants back on. (:
Sorry, Lilly, you can have him. He's not my bag, baby.
However, I DO relate to obsessing over someone you find hot. Am I right, Rich...???
Someone from his team?! I wouldn't be happy if I were Xisca right now. Didn't he say once that his perfect day wouldn't include sex or something like that? Maybe he's waiting for you, DTL Rafanatics!ReplyDelete
True enough Sara - good looking out!
Xisca = beard? Me thinks maybe so now. And yes, she should be worried if she didn't make the top three or four. Ouch.
Yes, there was a time when I also suspected Xisca to be a beard. Now, I don't know. That's why I said that about Xisca. It's strange that he didn't include her. By the way, would any of you be so kind as to explain to me the origin of "beard"? English is not my first language and, although I know what it means, I don't know where it came from. Thanks in advance!ReplyDelete
He probably didn't mention Xisca because he doesn't speak about her very much. I think he's trying to keep his private life, well...private. Like I said, gay or straight, I wouldn't kick him out of bed.
Beard is the facial hair a man grows. Back in the day, it could be used as a disguise to hide the man's true identity. A man might grow a beard or wear a false beard and glasses to avoid detection. That's why the word "beard" is used. I hope that helps. I tried to keep my English simple to help. :)
Thanks so much, Natch! And you're probably right, he didn't mention Xisca to keep his personal life private. By the way, I LOL every time I read one of your posts. Keep up the good work! :)ReplyDelete
Thanks, Anon. You know what? I didn't do a very good job describing beard. I was trying to separate the way it was used in the past to physically disguise a man, compared to today's use. I think a better example would be Saddam Hussein. When the Americans were looking for him, he grew a beard and his hair out, so he couldn't be easily identified. Now, we use "beard" to describe a woman posing as a closeted gay man's girlfriend. In other words, he doesn't want the fact that he's gay to be revealed, so she becomes his "beard". I hope that makes better sense.ReplyDelete
natch: if i was gay (and i'm not...really) then i would say this knowledge was drawn from personal experience.
*peeks through natch's princess diaries*
Natch, you did a good job the first time, I understood what you meant. Thanks again!
I guess there must be more than one beard in the tennis world. It seems to be difficult for a pro athlete to come out of the closet, and that's sad.
"someone from my team" must be code for "a few lusty Rafanatics from DtL to be waiting for me at my hotel room ready to play strip playstation, undies optional. Less to worry about taking off, no? I might bring Gilles too!"
That is some code breaking right there, Rich. I'm so proud of you.
Haha, I laughed so hard when I read this in Rafa's Q&A section. He's the cutest.
And I like the code. If he's gonna bring 3 friends of his, I'm going for Nole, Gilles and Speedy Ferrer. Bring on the drool!!!
BTW... poor Nole!!!
He broke my heart when he had to retire - poor thing! He always seems to struggle with the heat. :-(
It must be terrible to have to give up on defending your title this way.
Let's just say I know a few people who live in Hollywood...
DOOOOO TELL!!! Hahaha only if you won't have to be killed after revealing the info...then, forget it. We'd like to keep you around these here parts.ReplyDelete

Sarbanes-oxley, 21cfr part 11, hipaa, pharmaceutical cgmps for the 21st Century: The industry has been hit in the past three years with a regulatory load unprecedented in its depth, breadth, and complexity. And because record-keeping, security of records, and auditability are at the core of what the federal government seems to be trying to accomplish, information technology is at the core of pharma's response. Across the industry, companies are scrambling to gain more complete control over their data.
In truth, say technology providers, the problem is even more complex than many in the industry realize. On the one hand, pharma faces far more compliance issues than the usual culprits. Not only are there complex new regulations emerging on the state level, but also pharma is increasingly forced to respond to customers, standards organizations, and internal initiatives in ways that mirror what is happening on the federal regulatory front. And the double whammy of Sarbanes-Oxley and 21CFR Part 11 looks less like a pair of difficult regulations, and more like a single push toward comprehensive control over records of all sorts.
No wonder compliance is front-of-mind for IT executives—and others—at pharma companies. For companies large and small, one of the most pressing challenges of the next few years will be to understand compliance at a much deeper level, to obtain the tools to make it possible, and to turn those tools to solid business advantage going forward.The Basics Dennis Constantinou, senior industry director, life sciences, for Oracle, suggests that it is best to look at compliance as having four levels:
Industry-specific regulations These include not just FDA regulations, but also regulations from the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), international pharmaceutical regulations, and the specific requirements of organizations such the as the International Standards Organization. A particular area of concern these days is state-level regulation, which is rapidly increasing.
Internal procedures "These include equipment safety procedures, self auditing, self imposed quality procedures," Constantinou says.
The different forms of compliance may not all be backed by the power of governments, but all of them require retention of secure records and the ability to locate specific pieces of information and generate reports. "They're all interrelated," explains Constantinou. "If you don't have your compliance for the FDA in order, then you run into problems with customer requirements, and potentially you'll run into problems with other regulations." Companies need to look past their response to individual regulations toward a broader strategy of maintaining, analyzing, and protecting data.
Sarbanes-Oxley One of the hot issues for CIOs today is the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act, better known as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), enacted in 2002, which aims to improve the reliability of the audit process.

Eggs are a great breakfast food packed with protein to fuel yourself for a workout and the day ahead. But if you had 2 eggs sunny-side up every morning, the routine might get a little tiresome—and the same goes for your treadmill workouts.
A treadmill is as much of a fitness tool as it is a piece of valuable exercise equipment. While running at constant speeds for specific amounts of time can be beneficial, mixing up your workout is just as important to your body as it is your mind. Here are some ways to take full-advantage of your treadmill while mixing up your workouts in the process.
Lunges activate your quads, glutes, and even activate your core. According to the American Council on Exercise, you should be doing more of them. While you might not have enough room in your home gym to lunge back and forth across the floor, you can always try them on your treadmill at a slow speed. Set your treadmill between 1 mph and 2 mph and perform the lunge, careful not to touch your knee to the belt. Try two sets of 60 seconds to activate your body for the workout ahead.
We're not talking about the Super Bowl Shuffle, or even shuffling cards. We're talking about the intricate shuffling that happens on a treadmill.
Again, set the treadmill to a slow speed, about 2 or 3 mph. As the belt moves beneath you, lower into a squat position and slowly shuffle for thirty seconds before turning around for another thirty. Two or 3 sets of treadmill shuffling and you'll be feeling the burn for sure.
Sometimes it's nice to have a nice, steady run on the treadmill. Other times, you need a little more pop to your routine. Set the treadmill to about 75% of your max speed and stride out for 30 seconds, then slow down to a jogging speed for 60 seconds. Sprinting burns fat, increase your stamina and boosts your endurance at the same time.
In the year 2000, Chris Clark walked into the Olympic Trials in South Carolina as an unknown distance runner. But 26 miles and two hours, thirty three minutes and thirty-one seconds later, she would win the race and stamp her ticket to Sydney for the Olympics.
Who was she, and how did she get there?
At the time, she was a mother of two living in snowy mountains of Alaska. Today, Clark's rigorous training is stuff of running legend. Forced off the icy streets, Clark emulated the hot South Carolina climate by cranking up the thermostat and training inside.
On a treadmill.
For some, training on a treadmill is a necessity to fitness. Others simply prefer it. But whether you run inside our out is completely up to your preferences, goals and what feels right. However, there are pros and cons to both
Benefits of Treadmill Running
If it's hot, cold, rainy, blizzard or raining fiery meteorites from heaven above, a treadmill in the basement is a reliable ally to help get your training regimen in for the day.
To begin, treadmills are generally faster to run on than the road. The belts of a treadmill propel your legs forward faster, helping to increase your stride and speed.
Need to catch up on "Orange is the New Black"? A good treadmill can hold your tablet, power it on and sometimes provide controls for the screen. We wouldn't advocating pushing through episodes on an outside run, but on treadmills it's fair game.
With a treadmill, you can adjust how fast you want to run, how far, and even at what incline. And unless the power goes out or a cat/dog/child tries to launch themselves into your legs, your speed and stride will stay consistent through your entire run.
Easy on the Feet
You know that consistency we talked about? Injury-prone runners benefit from that. The treadmill belt "gives" more than a road or sidewalk so there's less stress on your lower body. Plus the smooth, consistent surface offers no surprises—that means no rocks, potholes or rabid squirrels to worry about.
Benefits of Road Running
Running outside lends to functional, lower body strength. The shifting terrain and varying inclines promotes soft tissue hardening that doesn't occur on a treadmill. This helps you adapt to a variety of surfaces on your run.
Not that your basement is a bad place to log some miles, but running outside helps many runners psychologically. For some, reaching certain landmarks, running over different terrain and seeing the hustle and bustle of a town is what helps them get through a run.
More Calories Burned
According to the New York Times, outdoor runners expend more energy than treadmill runners. This is attributed to wind resistance, changes in terrain, and stressing different muscles to extend your stride.
Which is Right?
Why not both?
Whether you want to run inside, outside or a mix of the two, the choice is completely up to you and what you feel comfortable doing.
Treadmills are unique in that whether you run on them for a half mile or for ten, you'll still end up at the same place. But that's the beauty of these fitness tools—you can exercise in the comfort of your own warm, quiet home. So what's stopping you from investing in one? If it's one of the reasons below, we'll help you sort it out.
Too Expensive
Cars are pretty expensive too, but they get you where you need to go. We view them as investments to our lives and futures, a necessity to a lifestyle. While a vehicle helps you get to work, a treadmill propels you to your fitness goals. Whether you want lose weight, increase your stamina on the trails or just get some good ol' fashioned cardio in, a treadmill is a useful investment that'll help you for years to come.
Not Enough Space
At some point in our lives, we've all lived in a tiny, barely livable apartment where having more than 2 people over made it feel like a packed night club. For those currently in that situation, you may truly not have enough room for a treadmill. For everyone else, let's face the facts: treadmills fold up, which makes storing as easy as stuffing them in a closet or sliding under a table. If there's a sliver of room in your basement, living room or office, you have the room to take a leisurely run.
Setting Up
From Legos to exercise equipment, a box filled with parts is an intimidating beast. Any worries that you'll have a hard time setting up your treadmill, however, can be squashed by Sports Authority's team members. Click here to learn more about how Sports Authority can deliver and assemble your treadmill!
Don't Know Which Kind
Yeah, staring at the wall—or webpage—full o f treadmills can be intimidating if you don't know where to start. Luckily, Sports Authority has put together a thorough buyer's guide to help you figure out exactly what you need.
You're intimidated by OK Go's Music Video for Here it Goes Again
There's no denying OK Go revolutionized the music video AND exercise industry with their intricately choreographed routine. If anything, their quirky moves shouldn't intimidate you—it should motivate you to start your treadmill, get on that belt and come up with your own routine—carefully.
"Use the right tool for the job."
If your dad's never told you that before, then we're telling you now. You wouldn't fasten a screw with a shovel, you wouldn't dig a hole with a tape measure and you wouldn't use your treadmill to do any of the following things.
Taking Your Dog for a Walk
As adorable as little Fido may look prancing on the belt, there's a good chance their coordination may fail them. Besides, it may hurt their pads, and it will certainly damage your treadmill. And if they get launched off the machine, there's no telling what they'll hit or land on. Our advice? Take your dog to the park, or let them outside. Save the treadmill running for the humans.
Clothes Rack
"The couch is not a jungle gym!" – Parents everywhere
The same principle applies to treadmills, and exercise equipment in general. While your treadmill's handles look perfect for hanging sweaters and the belt is the perfect spot to fold a mountain of t-shirts, exhaust all your will power keep your treadmill free of clothing. It all starts with a sock—the gateway garment—and spirals out of control from there. Once you start, it's hard to stop. So don't start.
Transport Firewood
These guys figured out a way to utilize a treadmill to help with their chores. In this case, transporting firewood. While it's a clever operation, we only have one thing to say:
That poor, poor treadmill. Stuck out in the cold, becoming more and more damaged with every log it hits. Unless you plan on using your treadmill exclusively for firewood transport, keep the wood away.
If you've tried rollerblading by treadmill like this guy, then maybe both activities aren't right for you. Instead, try sitting down quietly on a couch while trying not to hurt yourself.
