If you find yourself not being able to reach your healthy lifestyle goals and struggling to make progress, it may be time to look at what may be stopping you from moving forward, or in some cases getting started. It may be your busy schedule, family commitments, work demands, the weather, lack of resources, etc.
10 Common barriers that can get in the way of your healthy lifestyle goals can include but are not limited to:
- Goals that are too aggressive such as going from not exercising to trying to exercising 5 days a week.
- Goals that are really not important (ask yourself, on a scale of 0 - 10 "how important is this goal compared to other goals I have" - 0 no importance and 10 my health or perhaps future happiness depends on it.
- Not having a specific goal, such as adding a fresh fruit as an afternoon snack 3 days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday;
- Having a vision or outcome in mind such as losing 20 pounds but no short term action goal to get there (weight loss is not a goal, it's a long term outcome that will result from some action) but not attaching an specific action goal such as, substituting fat free milk for 2% milk, hitting the gym 5 days/week for 30 minutes each time.
- Having a unrealistic goal such as completing a triathlon for someone who has never even completing a 5K run previously or has a plan to prepare.
- Holding on the a belief that has no validity ("if I do this then this will happen, or not happen" - ask yourself "has it ever happened?")
- No being able to recognize what needs to be let go to reach their goal (perhaps letting go of feelings that they will somehow disappoint others by doing something for themselves or need to be a superstar at work out of fear of being disciplined of terminated, desire to be liked by others, etc.) Sometimes unfounded fears can stop us from achieving.
- Inability to say no or saying no then adding "but ask me later or ..." No is a complete sentence.
- Negative self talk ( that itty, bitty, sh*#ty, committee (of one) in our heads that is always putting us down).
- Rating our confidence to reach a goal as 9 or 10 (0 will never happen and 10 nothing will stop me) and then when we ask ourselves what could get in the way we come up with a half dozen reasons or in some cases excuses). If this happens you will need a strategy to overcome each barrier ... or choose a different goal.
Individuals who succeed at achieving their healthy lifestyle goals share common characteristics that include but are not limited to:
- Have a clear vision in mind of the person they will be in the future and being able to be in the present (see video above).
- Taking time to plan out specific goals.
- Ability to identify barriers getting in their way of making progress and creating a strategy to mitigate the barriers. This may mean setting boundaries.
- Creating one goal at a time.
- Breaking goals into smaller manageable and progressive steps.
- Using journals to recorded their progress.
- Shared their goals with their family and friends.
- Rewarding themselves when they achieved a goal like new clothes or a relaxing massage ( not with food, especially if they are trying to lose weight).
- Focused on the achievements and not minor setbacks by treating lapses as temporary and not beating themselves up over minor setbacks.
- Having a support system in place (family, friends, a coach, etc.).

As much as they probably would like to, federal officials can't blame this one on the partial government shutdown. No, the latest stumble in regards to the cleanup at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation is simply another failure in a decades-long line of miscues regarding the nation's largest radioactive waste facility.
Last week, officials from the U.S. Department of Energy informed the office of Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson that the federal government is at "substantial risk" for missing three upcoming deadlines in the interminable process of cleaning up Hanford. The deadlines had been spelled out by the 2010 Hanford Cleanup Consent Decree, but the feds seem to be taking a stance of, "What's three more deadlines when you've already missed 11?"
At stake is progress on construction of a waste treatment plant, which originally was expected to cost $4.3 billion and now has a price tag of $12.3 billion — and growing. The plant will be used to treat 56 million gallons of highly radioactive sludge through a process known as vitrification, turning the waste into stable glass. With the latest delays, the 2022 completion date for the huge facility is in further jeopardy. In addition, it should be noted, the Energy Department's inspector general recently announced that Bechtel, builder of the treatment plant, had not been applying adequate quality assurance standards to critical portions of the facility.
"I am disappointed to learn that the federal government is now at serious risk of not meeting its legal deadlines on the critical cleanup milestones at Hanford," attorney general Ferguson said. "Our office will continue to work diligently to provide our state clients with every legal option."
Legal options — as in court action — might be the only way to grab the attention of the feds. For decades now, the Hanford cleanup has been overbudget and behind schedule, and continuing delays only increase the cost of the cleanup and the health risks for the entire Northwest.
Built during the 1940s to process plutonium for the Manhattan Project, the Hanford site remained in production through the end of the Cold War. Now it is regarded as the largest environmental cleanup project in the world, having cost some $40 billion already with eventual expenses expected to climb well over $100 billion.
That reality should only increase the sense of urgency. A year ago, leaks in several massive underground holding tanks were discovered, and earlier this year Gov. Jay Inslee stressed the need for more waste tanks to be constructed at the site. The concern is that leaking tanks will further contaminate the aquifer under the site and that radioactivity eventually will find its way into the Columbia River less than 10 miles away — and roughly 250 miles upstream from Vancouver. Because of that, delays created by the federal government require more contrition and more action than, "Oops, my bad."
As Ferguson said: "These aren't just informal deadlines. These are deadlines entered into with a federal court and the federal government has an obligation to meet those deadlines, and they continue to miss them."
The people of Washington — and the people of Oregon, who share the Columbia River — deserve better. Hanford is an area of vast concern that will require decades to clean up. But progress must continue to be made lest it turn into a large-scale disaster.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland Nobel Peace Prize winner John Hume announced Monday he was stepping down as leader of Northern Ireland's moderate Catholic party and appealed to feuding parties to keep the 1998 peace accord alive.
Speculation that Hume would retire had circulated since 1997, when he reluctantly turned down a chance to run as president of the neighboring Republic of Ireland. Last year he had four operations for a ruptured intestine, and June's poor electoral performance inspired grumblings from some senior members of his Social Democratic and Labor Party that Hume should go.
'In recent years I have had serious health problems, and it is now necessary for me to cut down on my workload," said Hume, 64, who said he would resign in November. He will remain as a lawmaker in both the European and British parliaments.
Hume's party is the largest Catholic member of the joint Protestant-Catholic government which was produced by the Good Friday peace accord, and his announcement came at a crucial moment in efforts to sustain the accord. The government faces suspension or collapse with a Sept. 27 deadline looming to fill the coalition's vacated senior Protestant post.
Hume said last week's terrorist atrocities in the United States should animate local efforts to keep the Northern Ireland peace accord on track.
'In recent days the world has seen the destructive force of violence and its terrible effect on human life," Hume said. 'Here in Northern Ireland we have reached an agreement which points a way forward, to a new society where diversity is respected."

Baker has won seven straight over the Ravens and head coach Mike Grossner is 7-2 in his career against legendary head coach Larry Wilcox and hasn't lost to BC since 2005, when the Ravens won 31-27.
The 'Cats come in to the game with a 2-0 record and its highest ranking in the NAIA Coaches' Top 25 poll in the Grossner era. Baker defeated then-No. 18 ranked Ottawa, 25-24 back on Sept. 7 and then followed that up with a 41-40 thrilling win at University of St. Mary last week.
Benedictine also comes in 2-0 with a home win over Briar Cliff back on Aug. 31, 30-9, and then took down Friends University on the road last week, 28-15.
Comparing the two teams, both are almost identical offensively, with Baker accumulating 829 total yards and BC with 830. Baker has 325 yards on the ground and 504 through the air, while Benedictine has 373 yards rushing and 457 passing yards.
Both teams have punted 11 times this season and in the previous seven games, the Wildcats margin of victory is just six points.
Baker will look for Dillon Baxter to continue to lead the rushing attack, as the senior averages 103.5 yards on the ground per game and has yet to rush for a touchdown this season, as his one TD came on the game winning reception over OU in the season opener.
Leading the receiving core this season for Baker has been tight end/place kicker Clarence Clark. The freshman leads the team in receptions with seven and has a touchdown reception. He is also 2-of-4 in the kicking game with a long of 55 yards in the win over USM.

Live From Voyager of the Seas: New Orleans' Embarkation Better, but Far From Ideal

Our advice, if you're able: Pack light, drive directly to the terminal parking lot a few blocks away (or park at a nearby hotel) and carry your own bags to the terminal.
I think not, I would use anoter Port…
November 21st, 2011 @ 7:46 pm
We sailed on Voyager twice from Europe and I can honestly say the service and food was amazing. Everything was well organised and the staff very helpful. I have sailed with Celebrity many times and was pleasantly surprised how well Voyager and Royal Caribbean compared.Our friends who had never sialed before were blwon away.

Oh, once onboard, the staff made it an excellent cruise last week. And thank you for stating in the article that this is the second cruise for Voyager out of New Oleans this week. :)
November 21st, 2011 @ 8:36 pm
We will be boarding the Voyages this Saturday. Can we carry on our own large suitcases?
Elissa Leibowitz Poma
November 22nd, 2011 @ 10:15 am
Dear Linda: Yes, you can carry on your own luggage, provided it can fit through the metal detector at the security lines. I carried on my stuffed-to-the-brim large duffel on wheels (weighed 44 pounds) and was very grateful I did so. Other guests were without their bags for 8 hours or more. – Elissa Leibowitz Poma
November 22nd, 2011 @ 10:56 am
We will be sailing out Saturday 11/26 and have booked parking at MachuPicchu's parking lot. They will be picking us up from our hotel. Will be get caught up in a traffic snarl or do they \know\ how best to get through to the terminal? Another question – Will the sports bar be open immediately and is there access to major TV networks onboard? We're diehard Bama fans and want to see the Iron Bowl that starts at 2:30pm.

Dear Gina: There aren't many good shortcuts to get to the port, unfortunately. On Saturday, I saw people embark in the late morning without difficulty, and they merely spent time exploring the ship, sitting on the pool deck, having drinks. Streets started getting jam-packed at lunchtime and after … As far as the sports bar, they will likely have the TVs on and playing the game that afternoon (even if they aren't yet serving drinks). I bet there are lots others who will be interested, too. Have a great time!
November 23rd, 2011 @ 4:41 pm
We were on this cruise it took us over 4 hours to get on the ship after waiting in line to get to the parking lot and to get through security. It was the worst port that we have been to in all 8 cruises on Royal Caribbean. But we decided to give the port another chance and sail out of New Orleans in December 2012 on Navigator of the Seas. I am still working on my review to post on Cruise Critic on this cruise, definately was not one of the best.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - February, 2014
Hep B United Applauds U.S. Preventive Services Task Force for Draft Hepatitis B Screening RecommendationRecommendation Will Help Reduce Disease Burden by Encouraging Hepatitis B Screening Among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
Oakland, Ca. (February 11, 2014) – Hep B United, a national campaign to address and eliminate hepatitis B, today applauded the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) for issuing a "B" grade, recommending screening for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in persons at high risk, including Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs), who make up 5 percent of the total population in the United States, but account for more than 50 percent of Americans living with chronic hepatitis B.
"This is a great milestone in our mission to decrease the burden of hepatitis B in the United States, one that could potentially save millions of lives," said Joan M. Block, RN, BSN, executive director of the Hepatitis B Foundation and co-chair of Hep B United. "Our community has long been dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of hepatitis B screening and encouraging testing for those with the greatest risk, including Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, who are disproportionately affected. We commend the Task Force for removing some of the barriers to testing and look forward to the finalization of these recommendations."
The USPSTF draft recommendation applies to asymptomatic, non-pregnant adolescents and adults who have not been vaccinated and other individuals at high risk for HBV infection. This includes people born in countries where the prevalence of the disease is greater than 2%, as well as those who were born in the United States, but have at least one parent who was born in a region with a high prevalence. This is in contrast to the previous USPSTF recommendation released in 2004, which gave the asymptomatic population a "D" grade, signifying that it was not recommended.
Hepatitis B is common in many parts of Asia and the Pacific Islands, and spreads easily. It is estimated that 1 in 12 AAPIs is living with hepatitis B, yet nearly two out of three do not know they are infected; hepatitis B often displays no symptoms until serious liver damage has already occurred. AAPIs not born in the United States are at particularly high risk, due to high rates of hepatitis B in their native countries, where many people became infected as infants or young children.
Left untreated, up to 25 percent of people with hepatitis B develop serious liver problems, including liver cancer. In fact, liver cancer caused by the hepatitis B virus is a leading cause of cancer deaths among AAPIs. Testing is critical to identify people living with chronic hepatitis B and help them access life-saving medical care.
"The release of these draft recommendations represents a monumental step forward in our efforts to address and eliminate the many health disparities facing the diverse and medically underserved AAPI population in the United States," said Jeffrey B. Caballero, M.P.H., executive director of the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations (AAPCHO) and co-chair of Hep B United. "We applaud USPSTF for acknowledging the burden of hepatitis B in this community and making the right decision to promote screening in high risk individuals."
"I am encouraged by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's updated draft screening and testing recommendations for Hepatitis B," said Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA), Chair Emeritus of Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, Co-Chair Hepatitis Caucus. "I am especially glad that the recommendations target individuals who are at higher risk, including the foreign born from high prevalence countries. As the Chair Emeritus of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, and a founder of the Congressional Hepatitis Caucus, I have long advocated for the increased screening and testing of the Asian American Pacific Islander population, who are disproportionately affected by this silent killer. The "B" grade will help to ensure that necessary resources are targeted to address the health disparities of the AAPI population. This is an important step in reducing Hepatitis B in this vulnerable community."
"As Vice Chair of Congress's Hepatitis Caucus and as a strong advocate who has been working on this issue for some time, I am pleased by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's sound decision on expanding screening for hepatitis B," said Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA), also a co-sponsor of H.R. 3723, The Viral Hepatitis Testing Act of 2013. "The decision will greatly benefit Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who suffer from the disease disproportionately."
The Task Force's draft recommendation is open for public comment through March 10, 2014.

Share your christmas with those serving for us! Ensuring the freedom that we sometimes take for granted.
About 6 weeks ago, we received an order for multiple cannoli kits to ship to Virginia. Personally, I didn't even question the use, but my helper for the day asked, "What do you think they will be used for." Not giving it a second thought, I said, "probably a wedding."
Two weeks ago, I received an email, from someone in the military, serving in Afghanistan. He said that his wife ordered the cannoli, then shipped them to him. All of the cannoli (over 150 of them) arrived in perfect form. He shared with his base for "Italian Night" and they were all enjoyed. He wanted to let me know how much he appreciated them! He promised to send pictures, and as soon as I receive them, I will post.
That same week, I received a call from another individual asking if we shipped to APO's. I mentioned this past experience and we decided to give it a try. This time shipping to Iraq. The following Monday, we shipped over 100 cannoli to our fine service men and women in Iraq and to our surprise, they arrived on Friday, all in tact! Again, response was greatly appreciated – it was so nice to be able to experience the simple tastes from home, especially during the holidays.
So, while we can't guarantee that this will be the experience EVERY time, we have had great success sharing our Italian favorites with our military.

New Iowa State men's basketball coach Fred Hoiberg has finally added that experienced coach to his program.
Bobby Lutz (pronounced LOOTS) was rumored to be the Cyclones' assistant to bring experience to Hoiberg's bench. ISU announced Lutz's hiring today (June 17). Lutz has won 399 games in his career, including having a record of 218-158 from 1999-2010 at North Carolina-Charlotte. He led his alma mater to eight postseason appearances – five NCAA, three NIT – and became the winningest coach in 49er history.
He led Charlotte to 23 wins and an appearance in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in his first season in 1998-99. Charlotte again made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament two years later (2001) with a 22-11 record. Lutz's 2001 team was led by Rodney White, who was named National Freshman of the Year by ESPN.com. In 2003-04 his team went 21-9 and was 21-8 a year later.
During a seven-year stretch, his team went to the NCAA tourney five times.
Lutz's squad in 2009-10 finished with a winning record. However, it lost several games down the stretch and Lutz was let go by the Atlantic 10 Conference school.
"I was really content on taking a year off, but then I was approached by Fred and I was immediately interested and intrigued," Lutz said in an ISU news release.
"As we kept in touch I became more and more excited about coming to Iowa State. I think it's a great fit for me with the skill set and experience I have and I hope I can help Fred build this program into a very competitive level in the Big 12. In addition to the professional side, I wouldn't work for anyone I didn't feel extremely good about as a person. That is extremely important for me and I am confident that will not be an issue with this staff."

• UW Game Notes (vs. Utah)
• NOTE:The UW game at Colorado will kick off at 10:30 a.m. PT/11:30 a.m. MT and air live on FX television.
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE -It's not only with Washington that every game day becomes Flag Day.
Eight of the 20-most penalized teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision play in the Pac-12 Conference. That includes the Huskies, 109th out of 120 FBS teams. They average eight penalties accepted against them per game entering Saturday's home finale against Utah at CenturyLink Field.
UW (5-4, 3-3) won at California last weekend despite a dozen more penalties against it, including an unclear personal foul late against Travis Feeneyfor hitting quarterback Allan Bridgford near the waist while he threw. A week before that, the Huskies beat No. 7 Oregon State despite 13 flags against them, eight of which the Beavers accepted.
Huskies coach Steve Sarkisianhas said the 72 flags against his team in nine games is inexcusable and that his guys must play with more discipline for UW to be the team he thinks it can be.
But on Monday he said he has sent recent plays to the league office in hopes of getting clarification on some calls.
"My job isn't to be an official. Maybe when I get done doing this I'll go be an official and have fun doing that and stay on the field," Sarkisian said, impressively keeping a straight face at that thought.
"You know, they call it and you've got to play it. You play the hand you're dealt. We can't control what gets called and what doesn't. I thought our kids played a really hard, physical game. I thought some of the things called we didn't agree with. We sent it into the Pac-12, and we'll see what the response is."
Sarkisian isn't alone at being puzzled by all the penalties. Other coaches in the conference have acknowledged how tightly the league games are being called, and like Sarkisian are accepting it as a fact of life in the conference.
The Pac-12's teams have 798 total accepted penalties against them this season. Six league teams - half the conference - have more than 70 penalties.
The total of 70-flag teams in the rest of the five BCS conferences combined: three.
The Big Ten, with 12 teams, has had 647 total flags against its teams. Only one of its league members has 70 or more penalties (Ohio State, 70).
The Atlantic Coast Conference's 12 teams have been penalized 640 times. No ACC team has 70 or more flags against it.
The Southeastern Conference, with 14 teams, has a total of 735 penalties. LSU (75) is the only SEC school with as many as 70 flags.
Out west, UCLA (8.9 flags per game) and USC (9.4 per game) are the most penalized teams not only in the Pac-12 but in the country.
Utah (4-5, 2-4) comes to Seattle this weekend with 69 flags against it. That's seventh-most in the conference.
Sarkisian emphasized he isn't trying to say his Huskies are never in the wrong; "We have to be realistic and understand and when we're right and when we're wrong," he said. And to be sure, some of UW's recent personal fouls, such as for late hits out of bounds and for taunting, have been earned.
"If by looking at our game and by looking at (Saturday's) SC-Oregon game, and I believe there was one other I was watching ... there's a lot of penalties called," Sarkisian said. "But like I said to the team, as long as everybody's getting the same penalties called on them and it's a level playing field that's all you can ask for.
"But there's some stuff we definitely want clarification on so that we don't get the same penalties called on us in the future."
The Huskies would do well to cut down on the flags this weekend, since rugged Utah figures to keep Saturday's a tight, low-scoring game in which penalties could be decisive.
The Utes are just behind Stanford and Arizona State in the conference in total defense, allowing 336 yards. They allow 22 points per game, also third-best in the league. They are anchored by a veteran defensive line of 6-foot-4, 320-pound tackle Star Lotulelei and brothers Joe and Dave Kruger, who are 6-8 and 6-5 at end and tackle.
That will be a huge test to UW's offensive line with four first-year starters. Those new regulars have recently plowed lane for Bishop Sankeyto run wild - 189 yards and two scores last week at Cal, six days after 92 yards and two touchdowns against Oregon State.
Someone asked Sarkisian if the Huskies might wear their black uniforms again on Saturday, after beating top-10 Stanford and Oregon State in them at home already this season.
"I don't know," Sarkisian said, chuckling. "I'm just trying to get a first down against Star Lotulelei and the Kruger bothers. They've got some goons up front, so that's been the focus the last 48 hours."
INSIDE THE DAWGS: The Huskies had a handful of regulars banged up at Cal, especially on the defensive line. The most notable - and noticeable - injury was CB Desmond Trufant leaving in the first half with leg pain. The senior standout returned for a few plays but then stayed out the remainder of the game. Sarkisian said he will learn more Tuesday but "I don't think anything will be a significant time where somebody's out. I just think it's guys getting banged up and that's football in November." ... The Huskies will recognize their Olympians from this summer at Saturday's game, "which is pretty cool," Sarkisian said. Washington had 19 current or former Huskies at the London Games in August, then several more such as rower Eleni Englert in the Paralympics at few weeks later in London. ... UW will also recognize Veteran's Day Saturday night. ... The Nov. 17 game at Colorado will kick off at 10:30 a.m. Pacific time. The FX cable network will televise it nationally.

Status: RecruitingPhase: Phase 2Diagnosis: Pancreatic CancerNCT ID: NCT01821729
(View complete trial on ClinicalTrials.gov)
DFCI Protocol ID: 13-051
This is a Phase II clinical trial, which tests the safety and effectiveness of an investigational combination of drugs to learn whether the combination of drugs works in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that the combination of drugs is being studied. It also means that the FDA has not yet approved it for your type of cancer. Proton beam radiation therapy is an FDA approved radiation delivery system. Conventional radiation therapy uses photons to treat cancer before patients undergo surgery to remove the tumor. In this study we are using radiation with protons, which spares surrounding tissue and organs from radiation. Proton radiation delivers radiation to the area requiring radiation with no dose beyond the treatment area. This may reduce side effects that patients would normally experience with conventional radiation therapy. Researchers in the laboratory have discovered pathways inside cancer cells which contribute to the growth and survival of tumors. The FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy regimen is a combination of the drugs 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin. These chemotherapy drugs, along with the chemotherapy drug capecitabine, work by blocking these pathways and thereby preventing tumor growth. Capecitabine is FDA approved to be used alone or with other drugs to treat other types of advanced cancer, but not pancreatic cancer. In past research studies, FOLFIRINOX followed by radiation therapy with capecitabine has been identified as the most effective and active chemotherapy for patients with cancer that is spreading, and this is why we are using it to treat your type of cancer. Losartan is classified as an angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB), and is FDA approved for use in people with high blood pressure. Recent studies in people with different types of cancer, including pancreatic cancer, have shown that combining chemotherapy drugs with an ARB can help reduce/stop tumor growth more effectively than chemotherapy alone. Losartan has been used in previous research studies, and information from those research studies suggests that this drug in combination with FOLFIRINOX and capecitabine may be better at treating your type of cancer. In this research study, we seek to determine whether combining FOLFIRINOX with Losartan before proton radiation therapy will be more efficient at controlling the growth of or shrinking your tumor than just FOLFIRINOX alone.

Watch the YouTube video of Jake Gillum confronting the alleged thief on YouTube
Watch the YouTube video of Jake Gillum confronting the alleged thief on YouTube
SEATTLE — Jake Gillum loves his bike. So when it got stolen in Portland while he was on a date, he was determined to get it back.
The quest seemed hopeless, but a week of poring over online postings for his 2009 carbon fiber Fuji paid off when he spotted the road bike offered for sale in Seattle. That sparked an elaborate interstate sting operation last weekend in which Gillum not only got his bicycle back but used it to chase down the suspect before police arrested him.
Gillum documented it all on YouTube with the username Simon Jackson.
"This is why you don't steal from bicyclists!" Gillum shouts as he trails the suspect while recording with his phone. "Because we care about our rides! Because I will go 160 miles to get my $2,500 bike back! You are going to jail!"
In an interview Thursday, the 28-year-old added: "Best feeling in the world, seeing that guy get locked in the police car."
The success of the sting heartened bicyclists around the world as the video spread. Such stings are far from unheard of, but they don't typically wind up on video that goes viral.
"People have a right to reclaim their stolen property. It belongs to them," said Seattle police spokesman Sean Whitcomb. "Obviously, the first and best method to do that is through the police."
Gillum's ordeal began Aug. 3 in Portland when he realized his bike was missing and filed a police report. He has no car and uses it to travel to odd jobs and yard work around town, as well as for exercise. Over the next week, he checked online obsessively and on Aug. 9 saw it advertised in Seattle.
Gillum and two friends, Chris Williams and Williams' younger brother, Shannon Hardie, created the online persona Simon Jackson with a fake email account. They also used a cellphone app to call the seller and make it appear they were calling from Seattle. When the seller sent photos of the bike, Gillum became even more certain it was his.
The trio drove north and met the seller outside a grocery store. The others called police as Gillum started chatting with the seller, later identified as Craig Eric Ackerman, also of Portland.
When Gillum says police are on the way, Ackerman runs away, so Gillum hops on his newly recovered bike and starts chasing.
Police arrived and arrested Ackerman for investigation of possessing and trafficking in stolen property. He has not been charged.

Pancreatic Cancer Clinic
The interdisciplinary Pancreatic Cancer Clinic enables patients to see the multiple experts involved in their treatment planning and delivery in one location, at one coordinated visit. Prior to the clinic, specialists in the interdisciplinary pancreatic cancer tumor board meet to review each patient's case and discuss the best treatment options. Then in the Clinic, patients meet with all the providers involved in their care, gain a clear understanding of their treatment plans, and set a date for their first treatment or surgery.
Pancreatic Cancer Clinic specialists include gastroenterologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, palliative care specialists, and oncology dietitians. Advance practice nurses provide coordination and support for patients, and a cancer research nurse provides education and support for patients who choose to receive treatment as part of a clinical trial.

Cold weather resistance training
Are you a hard-core lifter training in an unheated home gym? If so, read how the cold affects your body and how you can prevent some common cold injuries.
The USAF conducts one of the world's premier Air Crew Survival Schools. This training addresses cold weather survival by stating in the instructor's manual: "Cold is a serious stress source, even in mild degrees it lowers efficiency. Extreme cold numbs the body and dulls the will to do anything except get warm". Cold numbs up the body by lowering the flow of blood to the extremities. (7)
There are multiple stresses on the body's system, which wants to remain in homeostasis. Obviously, air temperatures below skin and core temperatures will cause a disruption in the balance of heat produced versus heat lost to the environment. Air movement will sweep away the dead air closest to the body, which accelerates the heat loss. Dry air with its lack of relative humidity bothers the smooth muscle surrounding the lungs and bronchial airways. (1)
Responses to the cold
Every organ in our body plays a part in maintaining the core temperature near the ideal of 98.6° F, and in making blood glucose and fatty acids available to increase metabolism and heat production. The blood vessels of the skin constrict to conserve heat by sending the warm blood to the veins deeper in the body.
If you are a master lifter, this may become a problem because the ability to conserve heat and adapt to the cold decreases as we age. Blood flow away from the skin and the degree of vasoconstriction is reduced. Another age related phenomenon is the resting metabolic rate is less in the old compared to the young person. Less internal heat is produced to keep us warm. In both cases, this can lead to lower core temperatures in the older lifter.
The difficulties from lifting in the cold come from the layers of clothing worn; they are simply awkward to wear. Plus, shivering interferes with muscle actions because both agonist and antagonist shiver at the same time causing uncoordinated muscle action.
Cardiorespiratory endurance decreases due to maximal heart rate reductions. When blood temperature drops below 98.6°F less oxygen is delivered. Lastly, blood flow to the skeletal muscles decreases. Now your muscles don't have the nutrients to work hard.
Muscular endurance is also affected by the slower nerve conductions and the smaller recruitment of muscle fibers (1, 6). So what else can place limitations on your strength and power output?
Maximal power output declines due to an increase in the time it takes to form the cross bridges of actin/myosin. (6) The fluid in the muscle fibers tends to be thicker in the cold. This increases resistance to the movement of the actin/myosin cross bridge efforts. Finally, the chemical ATP production decreases. When ATP is not available neither is power output.
Hazards and preventive measures (4)
Frostnip, frostbite and hypothermia are preventable if signs and symptoms are recognized.
In frostnip, a part of the body chills with no permanent damage. The affected areas show white and firm to the touch with swelling and pain. A simple warming up generally controls the injury unless it is severely affected. Then treat for frostbite.
Frostbite permanently damages tissues by decreased blood flow and ice crystal formations. Areas will be red, swollen and painful. The cells die, but some may survive with proper treatment.
Gradually warm the area with water at 100-104 degrees. DO NOT rub with snow or warm by an open fire. Administer hot beverages without caffeine or alcohol. Continued exposure may result in Hypothermia.
Hypothermia (abnormally low body temperature) is life threatening and needs immediate attention. The body loses heat faster than it's replaced.
Symptoms are gradual and subtle in appearance. They range from slower movement, clumsiness, longer reaction times, confused thinking and poor judgment. Victims rarely perceive the dangers and are unable to protect themselves.
Treatment in the early stages consists of moving the victim to a warm, dry setting and administering hot beverages. Non-alcoholic and no caffeine drinks are best. Seek medical attention.
Clothing is one defense against the cold. "Apparel must match the weather. It should provide a semitropical micro climate for the body and prevent chilling" (3, 7).
Insulation comes from the dead air surrounding each fiber. "The thicker the zone of trapped air," "the more effective the insulation." Layering adds dead air space.
"Clothing next to the skin must be effective" wicking moisture away "from the body's surface to the next insulating material layer for evaporation". Polypropylene insulates, dries quickly and is effective.
The best is synthetic, breathable, lightweight fabric that dries easily and retains its insulating properties when wet. "If the water vapor cannot evaporate through the clothing it will condense, freeze and reduce the insulation value of the clothing and cause the body temperature to go down."(7)
Once clothing becomes wet, heat transfers outwardly at 25 time's normal rate. Wet clothing "actually facilitates heat loss from the body because water conducts heat much faster than air" (5)
Modern Principles of Athletic Training (2) states "An athlete may fail to warm up sufficiently or may become chilled because of relative inactivity for varying periods of time demanded by the particular sport either during competition or training: consequently the athlete is exceedingly prone to injury."
Even though you probably just left your nice warm home, you need to warm your muscles. It loosens the muscles, moves the blood faster, and increases the breathing rate. The colder it is the longer warm up. And the more intense the session the longer should the warm up be.
Summary: the triad of cold temperatures, heat loss, and an inadequate warm up are injury invitations.
- Warm up thoroughly before lifting.
- Protect yourself when lifting in the cold. Wear and layer quality-insulated breathable clothing.
- Cover your head.
- Recognize signs and symptoms of frostbite and hypothermia.

The Huskies are getting ready for the Blackout of the Century, as the Dawgs face off with No. 9 Stanford, Thursday, Sept. 27 at CenturyLink Field. Washington fans can get ready for the game in four easy steps.
A limited number of tickets are still available for the Blackout of the Century. Fans can pick-up pro-rated season tickets to catch all the rest of the Husky action at CenturyLink Field this season, or can BUY TICKETS for the Stanford game only.
Head to the Huskies Team Shop's special Blackout section to get all the fresh black Washington gear you need to help Blackout the Cardinal.
Because The Blackout of the Century is on a Thursday night, it's critical that Dawg fans make their gameplan for transportation and have read the Gameday Guide to be as prepped as possible for gameday.
Note: The special Husky Gameday Park and Ride services will not be available for The Blackout of the Century, but all regular weekday Metro and Sound Transit services will be operating on their normal weekday schedules.
Fans should plan to arrive early for the Blackout of the Century. Starbucks is providing black gloves to the first 25,000 fans, Boeing Employee Credit Union is giving away black beanies to the first 11,000 fans, and black sunglasses will be given to the Dawg Pack, courtesy of Coca-Cola. By planning ahead and arriving early, fans can also be more prepared to navigate midweek downtown traffic.
Two special events are planned for the Dawg Pack to get psyched for the Blackout of the Century.
The first is the Dawg Pack Blackout Rally, Tuesday, September 25th at 6 pm in Alaska Airlines Arena. The rally is hosted by Coach Sark, and admission is free with a Husky Card. Dawg Pack members can get free food and pick up their official Blackout of the Century t-shirt.
Then on gameday, the Dawg Pack will be meeting for a pre-game rally at 3:30pm, in Hing Hay Park. There will be Taiko Drumming, a Lion/Dragon Dance, and other entertainment before a march down to Century Link to watch the Huskies take on Stanford! The march to the game starts at 5:00pm and will follow the dashed purple line on this map. For more information please go to www.cidbia.org. GO HUSKIES!

Glenn Whitmore is a comic book colorist who has worked on many Superman comics, especially around the time of the "Death of Superman" story line.
The Superman Homepage would like to thank Glenn for agreeing to do this interview, and for fitting it into his busy schedule. We would also like to thank him for the images he sent along for us to include in this interview.
|Q: Can you please tell us a little about yourself and what you do?
A: I was born in 1966 and raised in Morris County, NJ and I am still living in the same town since age 11.
Q: When did you first become interested in comic books?
A: I first became interested at the age of 4. I vaguely recall my first comics being Batman drawn by Neal Adams. I watched reruns of the TV show and the old Superman/Aquaman Filmation cartoons so that led me to get the comics. Up until age 14, I read DC exclusively. After that, I began to add some Marvel in.
Q: Did you have any formal art training or are you self taught?
A: A little bit of both. After high school, I attended the Joe Kubert School which was only fifteen minutes drive from where I lived. Like most schools, and in life in general, my real education began after graduation. To this day, I continue to work on my drawing skills by taking life drawing classes and studying from life.
Q: When did you first decide that you wanted to work on comic books?
A: When I was ten, the Kubert school offered Saturday morning sketch classes for young kids. Joe himself taught those in the beginning. After he was done with the first lesson, I was hooked. There was nothing else I wanted to do but be a comic book artist.
Q: How did you go about becoming a comic book colorist? What was your first big break into the industry?
A: After I graduated from Kubert, I worked at a local newspaper where I was hired to color the DAILY comic strips. A fellow staffer suggested I take some of my tearsheets to DC and try to pick up some work. After nearly a year of pestering Bob Rozakis (head of production) for some work, he relented and gave me a mini-series to color called Hawk & Dove, pencilled by an up-and-comer named Rob Liefeld.
Q: What comic book artists would you say have influenced your style the most?
A: As far as coloring and the Superman years, editor Mike Carlin probably had more influence than any artist. Mike had a strong idea of what worked and what didn't. I was a young guy who was easy to work with and gave the editor what he wanted. Mike was able get the best work out of me and I learned a lot from him.
Q: What comic books are on your monthly must-read list?
A: None. I follow my favorite artists more than I do the characters. If Jerry Ordway is drawing a story arc for a particular character, then I'll pick it up. Recently I got into DC: The New Frontier. Sometimes I'll pick up the Tom Strong stuff with Moore and Sprouse. I liked Green Arrow by Hester and Parks too.
Q: In your career what book(s) have you worked on that you're most proud of? Why?
A: Most recently, I colored Steve Rude's The Moth. Steve liked my work and we got along great. It was also my first gig in comics for a while and it was great to come back with one of the all-time greats. Over the years, he became a favorite of mine and I feel priveleged to color his work.
There's nothing more thrilling than getting your first lesson in Dude 101.
Among all the Superman books, The Death and Return period and seeing the excitement of the fans is something I'm proud of as well. Being a small part of a cultural happening is something I'll never forget. Also, I did financially well and was able to buy a home.
Another series I colored was the 1992 Justice Society series, drawn by the late, great Mike Parobeck. I'm a big fan of those characters and his artwork was perfect for it. I was really disappointed when it was cancelled in the wake of the whole Image thing. I never got to meet Mike and it's one of my few regrets as a professional.
Q: This being the SUPERMAN HOMEPAGE I'd be remiss if I didn't ask your thoughts on the Man of Steel. Are you a Superman fan? If so what incarnation (Movies, TV, radio or Comic) has resonated the strongest with you? (If comic please specify an artist, writer or run that stuck with you.)
A: My tastes go toward the Joe Shuster/Max Fleisher version. I first became excited by Superman when the Golden Age version reappeared in All Star Comics of the 1970's. Wally Wood drew him with the squinty eyes and the greying temples. In my eyes, somehow he was more Super, even though he was not as powerful.
Q: How did the position of Superman colorist come about for you? Who contacted you?
A: I was visiting with another editor after finishing up on the Hawk & Dove mini-series, which was edited by Mike Carlin. I stuck my head in Mike's doorway to say "hi" and he offered me the job. Petra Scotese was quitting the book to take some time off. Originally, I was supposed to fill in until Gene D'Angelo was to take over. Mike said to me that if I worked out okay on it, I could be the regular. So it worked out for about ten years.
Q: Coloring seems to slip beneath the radar of most people's reviews of comics, with the focus being on the writer, penciller and inker. Do you think colorists are under-appreciated?
A: I do think both coloring and lettering are under appreciated, which doesn't surprise me. From my own experience, I only noticed lettering and coloring when they detracted from a comic.
Q: Can you give us a quick run down of what is involved in coloring a comic book? How much is hand-done and how much is computer assisted?
A: To my knowledge, NONE of it is hand done these days. I usually download a file from the artist through an FTP site onto my Mac and use Photoshop to color it. On The Moth, Steve and I will go back and forth, with him making suggestions for changes and trying different things. Once he approves the color for the complete book, I upload it to Dark Horse's FTP site.
During the Superman days, I did ALL guides, The editor would send them to the separator. I had little idea of how a computer worked. I was not one to rush to learn new technology. But when I finally started learning Photoshop, I began to appreciate what the separators like Digital Chameleon and Wildstorm had to go through to color my pages.
NOW, I can't imagine working without my Mac.
Q: During your run coloring Superman comics there was a character called "Whitty Banter" whom I believe was created in tribute to you. Can you tell us a bit more about this?
A: In 1993, the entire Superman team, including me, was flown out to LA and San Diego to be extras for the Lois & Clark TV show and for the convention. After dinner, a group of us would hang out in the hotel lounge, and I would start joking around with the guys pretending to be a talk show host. At one point, I said "hey, this is some witty banter we've got here". Then it became the "Whitty Banter" show.
Later on that trip, the gang threw Carlin a surprise birthday party in his hotel room. I started being "Whitty" again, and began to "interview" Doug Hazlewood. Then out of nowhere, Jenette Kahn [then DC President] sits in the "interview chair". Well, I just froze up, which was pretty funny to the rest of the guys. She showed great humor and was a good sport about it.
I really had fun at the Super-summits, hanging out with the writers and artists annually. In relation to that, as the COLORIST, I would always humorously suggest bringing back Superman RED/Superman BLUE. That one would always bring laughs. One year, I couldn't be at the summit, but when I received the plots for the next year or so, in there was a story line for Superman RED and BLUE.
Q: Is there a favorite Penciller and/or Inker you had most fun working with?
A: Jon Bogdanove caught the spirit of the Max Fleischer Superman and I would put him on top the list for Superman artists. Like I mentioned before, working with Steve Rude was a blast as well.
Ordway was drawing Adventures of Superman when I broke in and I was very excited to be coloring one of my idols. Jerry and I had a good working relationship, and coloring his work on the Power of Shazam series was a thrill as well.
Q: Is there a Penciller and/or Inker you would really like to work with?
A: I'd like to continue working with the Dude [Steve Rude].
Q: Are there any projects you're currently working on that you'd like to plug?
A: Two. The Moth trade paperback is coming out in '05 and I heartily recommend buying it. Healthy sales will guarantee its return to Dark Horse.
Also, I self publish a retro, Sci-Fi Superhero which you can see for yourselves.
Q: Thank you for allowing me to interview you!
A: That's a statement, not a question. "Whitty comes out of retirement?" Now that's a question. But it was my pleasure. Thank YOU.

When Lois & Clark started production in 1993, there was an obvious relationship between the comic book people and the Hollywood people.
A trade paperback Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, was published, with Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher on the cover. It included reprints of comic book stories that were the inspiration for Lois & Clark, helping to define the characters. Comic's included are: The Story of the Century (Man of Steel miniseries #2), Tears for Titano (Superman Annual #1), Metropolis - 900 mi (in SUP #9), The Name Game (SUP #11), Lois Lane (in ACT #600), Headhunter (AOS #445), Homeless for the Holidays (AOS #462), The Limits of Power (AOS #466), and Survival (ACT #665).
A number of comic book writers and artists had roles as extras in the episode I'm Looking Through You (Season one, episode 4). Their presence was immortilized in the Sky Trading Card #34.
Craig Byrne, president of the online Lois & Clark fanclub The Krypton Club, carried out a series of interviews with comic book writers. The interviews are reprinted with permission of the Krypton Club.

It appears that a neck injury will cut Daniel Bryan's reign as WWE World Heavyweight Champion short. A new report on Monday claims that Bryan has been downgraded and will be unable to compete at Money in the Bank later this month. Per the storyline/legitimate plan, if Bryan is not medically cleared to compete [in a Stretcher Match against Kane] at the pay-per-view, a new champion will be crowned in the Money in the Bank ladder match.
The news comes just two months after Bryan overcame the odds at Wrestlemania XXX, where in storyline, he beat Triple H and went over in a triple threat match with Randy Orton and Batista to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Shortly after going over at Wrestlemania and taking his rightful place as a top WWE superstar, Bryan married Brie Bella on April 11, 2014. Since then, it's been nothing but bad news for the creator of the Yes Movement.
On April 21, 2014 WWE announced that Daniel Bryan's father died unexpectedly and he was given time off. An injury angle was done to write him off television with the diagnosis of "a cervical cord neurapraxia" being more legitimate than anyone at the time realized.
Bryan went on to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a match against Kane at Extreme Rules. The company followed up with an angle on Raw where he and Brie Bella were "running scared" from Kane, an angle that WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley likened to the booking of Zack Ryder.
On May 12, 2014 it was learned that Bryan indeed had a legitimate neck injury and would need time off.
Daniel Bryan had successful surgery on May 15, 2014 where Dr. Joesph Maroon performed a cervical foraminotomy to decompress the nerve root. A surgery we provided more details on at this link. The future of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship has been in question ever since, with Bryan being pulled from the post-Wrestlemania 30 European tour as a result of the injury.
WWE went stroyline-heavy in their explanation for Daniel Bryan's absence, continuing to bill Bryan as the proverbial underdog. The decision regarding the title was strung out with the aforementioned storyline/legitimate plan for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view put into motion.
Ultimately, the decision comes down what is best for Daniel Bryan's health. I heard Bryan was under a tremendous amount of pressure to come back, however, this latest report suggests it's simply not possible. The current WWE World Heavyweight Champion is in the process of regaining strength in his arm after the cervical foraminotomy was performed last month. No one knows how long it will take for his strength to come back, which is why WWE hadn't given out hope of leaving the title on him.
The best case scenario will be for a legitimate opponent for Bryan to arise out of the Money in the Bank ladder match, only to bill a "unification bout" between the interim champion (the winner at the pay-per-view) and Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam (Editor's note: If I'm booking, it's against Seth Rollins.). How that plays out will determine how Bryan's recovery goes and how WWE creatives plans to handle the situation.
Expect the company to address the situation on this week's episode of Raw as Bryan is advertised to appear live from Knoxville, TN. We'll have complete coverage here at WrestlingNewsWorld.com.

Searching For Java Studio Creator Information
By David Botterill on Mar 14, 2006
The Creator content team has done a great job with the Creator web site (http://developer.sun.com/jscreator). They've been struggling with the daunting task of trying to guess how people think and how they approach the web site to look for information.
Recently a "Search Java Studio Creator" search capability has been added to the Overview tab of the Creator web site to help developers find information. As with many site searches you can get too much information that in the end makes finding what you want more difficult. Hopefully this blog will help.
Does Google Do a Better Job?
I did some testing searching for the term "data provider". Here's the Google advanced search criteria I used. You can see that I specified "developer.sun.com" as the Domain.
The results where 26 hits. Only one of the hits was actually on the Creator part of "developer.sun.com". So the Google search really doesn't do what I want. I really just want to search the Creator part of the "http://developer.sun.com" web site which is really "http://developer.sun.com/jscreator".
Using the Search at "http://developer.sun.com/jscreator"
The search on the Creator site is show below.
This search yields 112 hits and is spread across 5 pages of 10 hits per page. Here's the results page.
I don't know about you, but I hate to page through search results. Also, as you can see, many of the hits are on online help. I would really like to see just articles that are written on data providers. I would also like to view at least 100 hits per page. Before we go any further, notice the phrase at the top of the results.
112 Results found for "data provider, +url:http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/" in the "Developer - Reference" tab
This phrase will be important for us to narrow down our search in the advanced search settings. Next, click on the "Advanced Search" link on the right side bar of the results page.
You should immediately notice that you can change the hits per page by choosing "100" from the "Results per page" drop down list. If you do this and press the "Search" button, you'll see that you get 824 results. What? The results grew by about 700! Now you need to go back and change the text that was put into the "With all the words" entry. You'll need to make it look like the phrase I had you look at above. So basically you need to put a comma after "data provider" and put a "+" before the "url:". Now hitting search will yield the same 110 results with 100 showing per page.
Ok, so now you should be asking, "Why did the 10 results per page return 112 but the 100 results per page returns 110?". The answer is, "I don't know!". I think this must be a defect in the results display. The actual result number is 110.
Next, we want to get rid of the "Online help" entries. To do this, enter ",-url:http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/reference/docs/help" at the end of the "With all the words" entry. You can get the information about site areas to exclude by looking at the URLs in green. Of course these URLs will likely change from time to time. Here's what we get.
As you can see, we've narrowed the search down from 110 to 23. This is a much easier number of results to work with. Now I can see that there is an article called, " Data Provider Components in the Sun Java Studio Creator 2 IDE".
Lastly, you can always tweak the URL that is used to do the search. If you look at the search URL for what we just produced, you'll see the following.
done the
line breaks to show the different "GET" parameters. You'll
recognize the "&nh=100" is the number of results per page.
The "&qt" is the query text. So conceivably
you could
bookmark this URL and simply change the "data+provider" to the phrase
you want to find. Again remember that the URL semantics could
change and this bookmark could break.
I hope that helps you find what you need for using Creator. If you don't find what you're looking for, please, please email firstname.lastname@example.com for web site feedback and firstname.lastname@example.com for tutorials you need or documentation you're looking for.

How to test with Stannous Chloride?
Instead of the 2 drops of liquid turning purple, what happened was a whole bunch of tiny black spots appeared within the drops. It almost looks like something was precipitated by the stannous. I stirred the 2 drops to see if that would result in a uniform color, but the little spots do not want to mix; they remain distinct within a clear solution.
I tried the same method with a drop of pregnant AP (I watched this AP dissolve my foils when I tried to use AP to clean them up) and got the same reaction.
So, is this a normal positive reaction for gold?

Do you have a difficult time letting go of the past? Do you struggle with finding inner peace and self-acceptance? This may be an indication that you could use assistance with understanding and embracing the practice of forgiveness.
Iyanla Vanzant's new book, Forgiveness: 21 Days to Forgive Everyone for Everything, is a well organized and in-depth guide to helping yourself release anger, pain, resentments, judgments, and more. It helps you forgive yourself and others, as well as the Creator and Life itself. The book is spiritually based, using concepts found in A Course in Miracles and various "new age" and "new thought" type texts as well as self-help psychology. It guides you to shift your perspective to help you release and forgive, while giving practical resources to assist with this process. This includes specific categories of people and things you can apply forgiveness toward, journaling type exercises to help you gain awareness of what you may need to forgive, and an EFT tapping technique (Emotional Freedom Technique) to use energy meridian based self-treatment to release the energy patterns that have kept you stuck. This book also comes with a CD of meditations and exercises that complement the book content.
This is an attractive and well-written book that includes many inspiring stories, examples showing how we can benefit from letting ourselves let go and apply forgiveness. I expect to add this to the books I recommend to those who are stuck and in need of forgiveness to make a positive shift in their lives. Forgiving ourselves and others does not mean we condone past behaviors or actions, it just means we are ready to release and accept what has occurred, carrying with us the wisdom we gain from our experiences while letting go of any emotional baggage or judgments that have tethered us to the past and old patterns. Iyanla Vanzant's book is a valuable tool to help you embrace forgiveness and gain spiritual insight about your life path and life purpose.

Personalise your news, save articles to read later and customise settings
We are soft. The Lions knew and so do the All Blacks.
genia might the best half if he puts to bed that 99.9% failure box kick which was the pivotal turnover point, inspiring a series of equally poor kicks resulting in gift turnover ball and a landslide of points to the only pro team on the field. Fundamentals predictably absent, for how many yeas now ?????
Robbie have 1 for me the Aussies look
Worse than ever and they cant blame
Don't follow the sport so can someone explain to me the logic of kicking penalty goals instead of trying to score tires against the World Champions? Seems pretty gutless.
Tick the box Bill Pulver, your one eyed parochialism has paid immediate dividends...NOT!!! Replaced one bad coach with another when a proven coach was waiting in the wings...more pain on the way until the ARU is replaced with people who actually know what they are doing...gutted yet again...
Genia is killing the Wallabies. And why are they so friendly after the siren?
Who paid the commentators to keep praising O'Connor. An absolutely appalling defensive performance.
Sorry, just to ask the question: was Robbie such bad coach after all? You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit. Great effort by McCaw. 10 more years Aussies, 10 more years!!!
It's Robbie Deans and the Waratahs fault LOL
Hang on - wasn't McKenzie supposed to win everything?
So much for the "new era". Looks just like the old one so far, including junior-level errors from Cooper.
Yes. McKenzie was supposed to be the Messiah!
Salvation of Australian sport now hangs on Sally Pearson's fragile temperament.
Aussies have had trouble scoring tries for a few years now, what is the problem???
Outplayed, out thought, out muscled. Cooper was a clown, ran into touch with players all around him. The new dawn of Aus rugby =go for the 3 pointers! McKenzie shown up as a talker not a strategist. So much for his grand plan to beat the ABs. Smashed!! 6 tries to 2 with one scored against 14 men! Wallabys shown up...again.
Now I know how NSW must feel in the Origin, "here we go again".
Where is Izzy ??? Where is Jessie ??? haven't heard anything from the saviours of Oz rugby ???
One team kicking penaltys one team scoring tries. No prizes for guessing who's who.
Genias killing the go forward!! GET HIM OFF!!!
now what have you got to say ??
he just scored?
Hooper set it up. Genia's always been too slow to get the ball out of the breakdown
1 try that he did not set up, slow ball all night, no kicking game, murdered a try...what a player
Another kick at goal!! No heart Wallabys!!
Wallabies have brain exeplosions..the All Blacks do not. Genias chip kick to hand back possession after we win line out against the throw is a typical example. Only positive was an improved Scrum which gives McKenzie something to build on but too late for this season I fear.
Genia slow and indecisive...killing the Wallaby attack
Genia murders a try opportunity
Welcome to the no running all kicking McKenzie Wallabys. 11 minutes in 30 meters out and its penalties not tries.
And the running rugby boys go for a kick 5 minutes in.
This has to be the one to win for the Wallabies, this one will set the tone for the rest of the series.
Well I hope that's O'Connors last game for Australia. He can go play with his boyfriends in some other game.
2 and a half minutes.....
