I ran when I was 10 and did really well. I competed in CYO and enjoyed it but then I stopped. I ran again in high school but my interest wasn't in running so I stopped. I ran in my early 20's but again was too distracted so I stopped. In my late 30's I told myself to get back to running and this time I kept running. I'm 45 now and running is as much a part of my life as walking, riding my bike and doing yoga.
I have been very active all my life but in my late 30's when my daughter was in her teens it was time for me to invest in my health and my body. I have always been slender but I didn't feel healthy. So I joined a gym, worked with a trainer to add weight lifting and very slowly began running. I started off at a run/walk mile. It was really pathetic. But it worked into a solid run and then I added another mile and then another one and ran my 1st 5K. That felt so good! I accomplished something I set out to do and it was only for me. Six months later I was down 10 pounds and felt great! I then pushed myself to run faster and the best time I managed to get was 21:38 and I placed first in my division. It was really exciting and I was proud of my accomplishments. My boyfriend at the time however was not and our relationship that had been slowly dissolving just plain disappeared. My running took time away from him but that was what I wanted. I wasn't ready to up and leave but I was ready to run away when I could. So I ran. I ran a lot.
Move forward a few years and I completed a marathon, left a rotting relationship, fell madly in love and promptly put back on 10 pounds because…well because I was just really happy and as much as I loved running, I loved my new relationship better. And so it goes; as my running changes due to events in my life so do the events in my life that shape my running. That might not make sense but I'm not really sure what comes first. Does my running change because life events change it? Or do life events change because I run?
My running partner Stephanie and I have been running together for over five years. She had recently moved to our Northern California town and joined a runners group to meet others. We immediately liked each other and started a quiet competition with each other on our weekly Saturday runs at the local Fleet Feet. It was a friendly competition; mostly we pushed each other to do the best we could. A few years later she was there to hear all about my new love, and I was there to hear of her excitement over her decision to pursue adopting a baby and then not too much later it was excitement of her pregnancy. Then I broke my leg skiing. Running was on hold. Serious hold. It was frustrating, aggravating and overall a true set back. Months later when I was back at it, it wasn't the same but it sure felt good to tie on those Asics and hit the trails. My balance was off and I was scared to death of falling but running gave me confidence, which was shaken from my accident. But after months of physical therapy my leg didn't heal right so I was in surgery and three weeks after that I went back to the trails.
Running changes with my life and I know that 21 minute 5k's may not be in my future. I registered for a half marathon in Healdsburg this past October with Stephanie and first she backed out due to a knee injury, then I backed out due to soft tissue damage in my ankle. After weeks of rest we were both back to our weekly group, a little slower but determined to run, disappointed that we couldn't make the race but also knowing that maybe next year we will make it.
I don't run only when my body is perfect, when my knee doesn't hurt, when I ate the perfect pre-fun food. I run despite all the things our body does to try to set us back and I will continue till I'm just too old to do it. Or maybe till the next life event shakes it up a little. But running is who I am, and I'm not as thin as I was a few years ago but I feel good; I have a few more gray hairs but I can deal with that, and those ab exercises I do don't have the quick effect they once did and I am ok with that. My body will never be the same, and my running will never be the same but that's what is great because maybe running and life mirror each other. Running and life naturally ebb and flow but they are always there.

The next time you eat peanuts from the shell, why not try planting some, because you may be able to cultivate your own. The peanut plant has attractive, dark green divided leaves and yellow flowers. Its history is fascinating: as soon as blooms are pollinated, the stem of the flower bends towards the ground, eventually forcing the developing nuts into the soil. This is why some people call them 'groundnuts'. It requires a warm summer to produce fruit in the UK, but if you can grow them in a cold frame they should reliably produce nuts.

AUSTIN — Things really worked out in the long run for Canadian on Saturday, even if it took until the last two events at the Class 1A state track and field meet.
In the two distance events that traditionally close track meets, Canadian scored big on the boys and girls sides in the 1600 meter relay and 1600 run at Mike A. Myers Stadium.
The Canadian girls brought home a surprising gold medal in the 1600 relay in 4 minutes, 3.25 seconds, taking the lead halfway through and holding on. This came only about 10 minutes after Canadian's Elliott Webb won the silver medal in the boys 1600 in 4:32.66.
Canadian's girls relay team of Marcee Smith, Patricia Cullender, Mae Johnson and Tori Hamby entered with the fourth fastest time, and only the second-best time among Panhandle schools, behind Wellington. But by the time the baton reached anchor Hamby, the lone sophomore on a quartet featuring three seniors, victory almost seemed inevitable.
"At the start I was a little nervous," Hamby said. "We were in the middle of the pack and I wasn't sure we'd get a medal. Our first and second legs both ran their best times and that made it easier by the time it got to me."
Hamby never faltered on the last leg after she took the baton from Johnson, but she still had to hold off a late challenge, as less than a second separated Canadian from the bronze medalists. Hamlin was second in 4:03.94 and Wellington won the bronze in 4:04.03.
For the seniors, it was the perfect way to end careers that hadn't been successful in the state meet.
"I was shocked that we were winning," Johnson said. "We were going for a medal but when we've come down here before it's been a disappointment."
Webb, a junior, ran as expected, as he was the No. 2 seed behind winner William Roberts of Sanderson, who ran a 4:27.98 and beat Webb at the Region I-1A meet in Levelland.
"This is my best time and all I wanted to do was stay up there with William and join him up on the medal podium," Webb said.

Venture Catalyst Partners, LLC. Announces Tribe of 12 - New Business Growth Accelerator
Now business growth and profit improvement just became "cheaper-by-the dozen", if an innovative new business accelerator/enhancement group in New York has their way.
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 12, 2012
Called "the tribe of 12", it's a rather elegant/economic spin on a combination of normally highly-priced strategy, marketing, coaching and world-class mentoring {and consulting)––all morphed and re-engineered into a proprietary, high-impact optimization-based, integrative process.
Then, it's rolled up into one, continuously guided, masterfully mentored, well-balanced group of 12 highly "like-minded", growth-oriented companies.
The brainchild of Venture Catalyst Partners, LLC––an innovative twist on venture capital funds––that uses "high-strata", intellectual capital, instead of cash to leverage-the performance of a given company. The group works with venture capitalists, private equity firms, and private/family-owned enterprises, directly.
The tribe of 12 is the entry-level method that Venture Catalyst Partners uses to "cost-effectively", "risk-effectively" make it highly appealing for promising (but under-performing) enterprises to start a deep, yet low-cost relationship, that can boost leadership/strategy/marketing/business models/resource yield/relational capital and much, much more.
It's the brainchild of founder/partner Robert Hargrove (of chief executive officer coaching fame), Jay Abraham (of entrepreneurial strategic marketing legend) and William Henderson, a seasoned venture capital/startup "veteran".
The tribe of 12 combines high-level collaboration, "think-tank"-based masterminding and Super-Fueled "ideation"––along with ongoing private situational-specific, world-class thinking partners––who work through issues and challenges, opportunities and options with each individual founder/CEO in the group.
The foundation for this process (and the basis for forming Venture Catalyst Partners) was newly released, definitive research (done by a consortium between Silicon Valley VCs and high profile professors at Stanford), that studied the success-failure rate "causation" in 2,800 tech startup firms.
Results proved "conclusively" that the key single-most frequent determinant of success (or failure factors) was and is the involvement—or lack, thereof of masterful continuous mentoring.
Interestingly, advice from the investors, themselves, did not produce greater success rates than the norm (although it DID increase valuation on those 1 in 20 company successes that the VC fund delivered).
The tribe of 12 seeks to attract, then " quick-start" meaningful collaboration between all the founding partners of the Venture Catalyst Partners and the heads of each participating company. More importantly, the economics make it highly attractive to promising (but under-performing) companies that may be stuck––but poised for expansion growth.
Three quarters of their fee is "performance-based", due and payable ONLY if, when… and after that participating company attains an individually-agreed-upon "benchmark performance" success metric.
The partners in Venture Catalyst Partners, LLC, have an impressive success history in leadership, marketing, business remodeling, strategy restructuring, leveraging-up under-performance in both tangible and intangible activities, moving the selling/marketing costs from fixed over to variable, finding new ways to sell, market, new markets to tap… And breakthrough ways to think more "expansively" about performance enhancement from every facet of the enterprise.
Together, the principles of Venture Catalyst Partners have written 12 highly respected business books that CEOs, entrepreneurs and academic's world-wide, regularly cite
The "Tribe of 12" is a unique amalgam of high-performance methodology and technology, delivered over a 12-month accelerated process, by the founding principles, themselves.
Participation is by acceptance only. Candidates must apply and be pre-interviewed by the partners themselves and satisfy a strict criteria of performance enhancement "viability" factors––before being seriously considered.
About Venture Catalyst Partners, LLC.
Newly formed Venture Catalyst Partners, LLC, is comprised of Jay Abraham, Robert Hargrove and William Henderson. The partners in Venture Catalyst Partners have an impressive success history in leadership, marketing, business remodeling, strategy restructuring, leveraging-up under-performance in both tangible and intangible activities, moving the selling/marketing costs from fixed over to variable, finding new ways to sell, market, new markets to tap… And breakthrough ways to think more "expansively" about performance enhancement from every facet of the enterprise.

Ubuntu download page defaults to 64-bit images. Most likely you just pressed download or pressed the wrong button:
If you change one menu, and click the other button, it will defaults to 64-bits.

Announcement: TSM Backup/Archive Goes Live!
Our enterprise-class backup/archive solution is based on IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) software and supports a wide range of client operating systems including MacOS, Windows and Linux.
Any host system running a supported operating system is eligible for this service. Contact us at paradigm [at] jhmi [dot] edu to register!
- fully automated nightly backups
- scalable tape library with 570TB native (uncompressed) capacity
- onsite backup for immediate recovery of lost data
- offsite copy with 256-bit AES encryption
- four LTO5 tape drives for high-throughput archive and retrieval (1.9TB/hour, uncompressed)
- data compression on-the-fly (50% reduction of data size is not unusual)
- 2TB fast random-access disk pool for nightly backup
- 20TB sequential disk pool serving as virtual tape for recent backups
- 10-gigabit Ethernet connectivity to primary IGM storage servers as well as the Hopkins high-speed research network
- Backup
- provides for one or more redundant copies of primary data as a safeguard against data loss in the event of accidental file deletion or catastrophic server failure.
- Archive
- provides for long-term storage of important, but infrequently accessed data that will be deleted from primary storage in order to reduce costs.
TSM backups are highly efficient because once a client has completed a full backup cycle, only "incremental" changes are transmitted to the server during subsequent backup runs: data created or moved since the previous incremental are sent to the server; deleted files are marked "expired" in the backup server's database and become subject to retention policy.
Retention Policy
Retention policy applies to data that has marked "expired" because it no longer exists on primary storage. Our default policy is to retain backup data for 30 days after it has been deleted from the client. In other words: If you delete data which has been backed up to our TSM server, you have 30 days to change your mind. (Longer retention periods are available on request, however this can increase the overall size of the backup data.)
Archive retention is unlimited, because deletion from primary storage is assumed.
Backup/archive storage space on our TSM server is available in 1TB increments at $40/TB/month.
This rate includes an encrypted offsite copy for disaster recovery. Note that space utilized is determined on the backup server, not the client. Thus, data occupancy may be greatly reduced by compression. For example, if 10TB of primary storage compresses to 5TB when stored on the TSM server, the storage fee would only be $200/month (5TB * $40/TB/month). There is no additional fee for the offsite copy.

Kevin Love
Santa Monica, California
"I feel like I'm a creator, a guy that can do anything my coach needs me to do."
-Kevin Love
The nephew of Beach Boys singer Mike Love, this 6'10" bruiser recently became the first player in 28 years to record 30 points and 30 rebounds in an NBA game. "I just got a good mind-set that every single one was mine," he says of his historic night. "It seemed like no matter what anybody did, I was going to go and get those rebounds. I don't know what to tell you. I impressed myself. I don't even know what to say, to be honest with you." Love is currently in his third season with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"The attention is something I always wanted and always wished for, so I just take it in stride," he says. "I try to be gracious to people and engage them in conversation and be as nice as possible." That will have to be enough for Love's female admirers, as this promising pivot continues to keep his eyes on the prize.

Dr. Aaron Filler is the world's leading expert in treatment of nerve pain. He has revolutionized nerve-pain treatment by inventing several new technologies. One such technology, MR Neurography, enables doctors to use an MRI scanner to examine nerves, previously a difficult-to-impossible tissue to visualize with MR imaging. Dr. Filler's research in axonal transport is leading to a whole new generation of advanced pain medications. He has developed many new "minimal access" surgery methods that allow him to treat complex nerve problems with small outpatient surgeries. He has also pioneered the use of the Open MRI scanner to do surgeries and other therapies with the ultra-high precision and safety of the magnetic resonance imaging.
At Dr. Filler's Institute for Nerve Medicine in Santa Monica, California, the key to success remains a very traditional endeavor: listening to the patient and doing a thorough and expert neurological examination. Dr. Filler typically spends more than an hour with each new patient. The results of the initial examination are then strengthened and perfected with application of advanced technology available nowhere else in the world.
Dr. Aaron Filler combines three key components in his treatment of each patient:
- Compassionate personal attention,
- Expert medical skills, and
- The best technology in the world
He combines these components to turn insoluble pain problems into specific treatable diagnoses. Prior to coming to the Institute for Nerve Medicine, many of Dr. Filler's patients have seen a dozen doctors (or more), experienced failed surgeries, and have even had their very pain questioned. Time and again, Dr. Filler demonstrates that in many of these cases the problem is the doctor and not the patient. A cure is in reach when the best available medical care is brought to bear.
Dr. Filler has an MD from the University of Chicago, a PhD from Harvard University, and is also a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in England. His medical training included four years of medical school, eight years of neurosurgical training at one of the leading neurosurgery programs in the US, an additional one-year fellowship in neuroimaging at the University of London, another year of training in complex spinal surgery at UCLA and a fellowship in peripheral nerve surgery with Dr. David Kline in New Orleans. He is the inventor on ten major patents, has published more than twenty prominent scientific publications, and has done more than a hundred presentations at scientific and medical meetings. He is also the author of Do You Really Need Back Surgery? from Oxford University Press, a well-received 300-page book for the general public. He enjoys medical staff privileges at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

CBS' new promo is entitled a Week of Love and after seeing the ratings they certainly have been showered with love by fans of CBS Daytime.
The Young and the Restless brought in its best weekly audience of 5.73 million since the week ending February 29, 2008 and it had its best rating for women 25-54 demo ratings since February 4th, 2011! This was also the week Billy Miller and Michael Muhney played their last scenes together in a showdown of Billy and Adam. How will next weeks ratings hold up after the two favorites are gone?
The Bold and the Beautiful had its largest audience with 4.17 million viewers since the week ending April 13, 2007.
The Network's daytime programs, The Talk and Let's Make A Deal delivered series highs in viewers. The Talk averaged 3.19 million viewers, its largest weekly audience ever and matched its best women 25-54 ratings (1.2/07). Let's Make A Deal had their largest weekly audience so far. The Price is Right had its largest weekly audience .
Congratulations to CBS for its quality programming on both Daytime and Prime Time.

Brian Burke said he's not seen the right stats package yet.
That set off the hockey analytics community on Twitter. Most mocked him for being ignorant.
But what is he really talking about? Does he mean that there's nothing he's seen that adds to what available to everyone?
Let's talk to an expert – Corey Pronman writes about prospects for ESPN and Hockey Prospectus and has plenty of ideas on how analytics have a use in hockey.

Dennis Allen finds himself in the same place many recent Raiders coaches have been in - looking for the answers to get the once storied franchise back to prominence.
The 3-6 Raiders are 3 games behind division leader Denver with seven games to go. They have a lot of talent, but injuries and poor play keep them from putting it all together in one game. Allen's frustration was evident in his Monday press conference, and he was quite blunt in explaining the Raider's woes.
"Hey, listen, we're at that point in the season and we've got to win football games. It's our job to find out what our players do well and put them in those positions and give them a chance to be successful. Our issues have been, at least defensively, have been the inconsistency issues. We play good in spurts and then in other spurts we don't play so well. We did a better job of stopping the run this past week; it was the passing game that hurt us. So we've got to find a way to be more consistent."
"I think really it's the team, the players and the coaches, doing a better job of being on the same page, exactly how to do the things that we're trying to get accomplished."
"You feel like you fix one thing and then you're working on fixing something else, so but at the end of the day, we have to do a better job of being more consistent and that's what it's really all about."
"I wish there was a magical answer. I know everybody wants a magical this is the solution. At the end of the day, and I've said this over and over, it's about us doing our job the right way every single time. When we develop that consistency, when we've had that consistency, we've played well in all three phases. But that's the key to having success."

Oh, how our heart sings for Rockstuds. We've been obsessing about Valentino's collection of rockstud bags, shoes, and accessories for what seems like forever (but has actually only been a year or two). Giuliana Rancic looks almost unforgivably chic wearing Valentino Rockstud Noir Pumps, a black princess coat, black leggings, black sunnies, and a simple black Hermes Birkin. If you love these patent leather T-strap heels as much as we do, you can grab them at Neiman Marcus for $995.
Giuliana seems to have finally landed a primo primetime gig – hosting NBC's new Ready for Love, which is the reality series that follows three bachelors who are incapable of love. Excuse me, incapable of finding love. Fortunately, this show doesn't just rely on the bachelors' gut-area instincts, there's also an arsenal of modern day matchmakers involved!

Re-authentication proposal for LedgerSMB 1.3 (HTTP Auth)
In going to native DB accounts, one of the difficulties we have to resolve is how to effectively authenticate serial requests. The major problem has to do with how the password to the database is stored. I am going to suggest that we move to using HTTP authentication as the primary mechanism of authentication and automate this from the login screen where possible using Javascript. A secondary method could be offered where the passwords are stored in the db, but this has more serious security concerns associated and therefore I would suggest that we do not go that route.
The major issue with storing the information in the session object is that a database superuser could review all passwords of all currently logged in users. I don't think that this is acceptable as it both allows a set of trusted individuals to bypass security of the db and also undermines basic security mechanisms of PostgreSQL as a whole (which we rely on). If anyone has better ideas, I am open to them. However, this will also put us within striking distance of transparent single signon support (for things like Kerberos).
The big disadvantage is that some browsers may handle authentication differently and we will have to address this.
Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

Finance Leadership & Development
Professional accountants need to respond to the continually changing expectations of their organizations, the financial markets, and society. In addition, many accountants aspire to finance leadership roles, such as chief financial officer (CFO). As a result, they must fulfill their traditional responsibilities, while increasing their support of strategic and operational decision-making. Through education, life-long learning, and development, they must acquire the right mixture of skills, experiences, and attitudes, including leadership, strategy, business, management, and interpersonal skills.

Camilla Parker Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall, lost her younger brother, Mark Shand, suddenly on Wednesday, April 24, 2014 according to news reports. Shand died approximately 12 hours after an accident where he fell and hit his head in New York City.
Shand, 63, was in New York City to attend the Sotheby's Fabergé Big Egg Hunt and had attended an after-party Wednesday evening at the Gramercy Park Hotel's Rose Bar. It was at the after party where the accident happened. Shand fell when he stepped outside to smoke a cigarette, falling as he tried to light the cigarette according to E!Online.
Shand was taken to the closest hospital in New York City for treatment and was placed on life support immediately after arriving. Although no official statement has been made about the injury, it was noted to be a very serious injury. Mark Shand died 12 hours after arriving at the hospital.
Shand was known for his work as a conservationist and worked with The Elephant Family up until his death. He was known for working diligently for charities that he supported.
The Royal family, including the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William are devastated over the sudden death of Camilla's younger brother. Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton are currently touring Australia with Prince George. The Royal couple issued the following statement to the press through their spokesman concerning Shand's death, "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were saddened to learn this morning of the tragic death of Mark Shand. Their thoughts are with The Duchess of Cornwall and her family at this time."
Clarance House issued this statement on behalf of Camilla Parker Bowles, "The Duchess, The Prince of Wales and all her family members are utterly devastated by this sudden and tragic loss. Mark Shand was a man of extraordinary vitality, a tireless campaigner and conservationist whose incredible work through The Elephant Family and beyond remained his focus right up until his death." Funeral arrangements for Mark Shand have not been made public at this time.

When Justin Timberlake makes a musical comeback, he doesn't do it halfway. Less than two weeks after the singer-turned-actor shocked the world with the Jay-Z-assisted single "Suit & Tie," he's prepping a video return as well.
MTV, VH1, mtvU and MTV Hits will air the exclusive worldwide broadcast of the lyric video for "Suit" on Thursday at 6 a.m. ET. But before that, we're offering up a 30-second preview.
Directed by skateboarder-turned-director Laban Pheidias (Adam Lambert, Alicia Keys), the lyric video "takes fans on a ride with Justin through the streets of Los Angeles from the Hollywood Hills to Sunset Boulevard," according to a statement announcing the clip. "It's a day-in-the-life look at one of today's biggest superstars while he gets down to business at a photo shoot for his upcoming album, The 20/20 Experience."
Also, unlike many lyric vids, JT appears in this one.
In the teaser, we see Timberlake getting suited up for some kind of occasion, slipping into spit-polished loafers, adjusting his shirt cuffs, suit pants and vest and checking his tie in the mirror as the song's lyrics pop up in all-cap letters all over the screen. When he taps his toes together and brushes some dirt off his suit jacket, a bit of cartoon dust pops into the air, and some notes drift up off a piano as he tickles the ivories at the end of the preview.
Let them show you a few things: MTV Style breaks down JT's dapper duds.
"Tie" has already set some personal and professional records for JT. It blew past Timberlake's previous top digital sales week , moving 310,087 copies and beating the genre-busting "SexyBack," which moved 250,000 copies back in 2006.
According to his label, despite a sneak-attack release , the song also reached #1 on iTunes singles charts in 31 countries, including the U.S., England, Canada, Sweden, France and Brazil. Internationally, the song with the Jay-Z cameo made it into the top 10 on the iTunes singles charts in 54 countries.
Are you excited for Justin's musical return? Let us know in the comments!

Swedish Message
And so my travels take me to the OMX in Stockholm where I had been invited to give a few lectures (fear and greed, blackjack and vol arb). The other two speakers were Joe Corona and Marc Faber, both of whom were foretelling the imminent collapse of global stockmarkets. It seems that at the moment we all want to hear that the end is nigh. Certainly, it makes for an entertaining speech, and nothing brings people together better than knowing that everyone is going to suffer, and not just you. 'Hope' is the trouble, as John Cleese says in Clockwise "I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand." My own view is equally pessimistic, but rather than blaming house prices and climate change, I tend to favour the 'global village' villain, i.e. thanks to easy long-distance travel and technology/telecoms we can no longer rely on Darwin to get us out of a mess. Survival of the fittest is not going to work when we all live or die as a single organism. (Mind you, this won't be an argument that will worry Americans, since only 50% of them believe in evolution. Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition.)
The moderator for some of the lectures was Jon Briggs, famous as the voice of The Weakest Link. A true professional, he was totally unperturbed by the audience's refusal to laugh at his jokes. Don't get me wrong, they were a keen and bright audience (for example, no snoring even after a particularly heavy session the night before), but they were very shy and would not ask questions about the lecture nor would they laugh unless a joke contained a reference to suicide or sex.

The pop star waits two hours for possible jury selection but is not chosen to hear evidence in a state courthouse.
11:34, UK, Tuesday 08 July 2014
Pop star Madonna has reported for compulsory jury selection at a New York courthouse - waiting two hours before being told her services were not required.
Last May, she was due to appear for possible jury service but was allowed a new date for selection.
On Monday, she arrived at a state courthouse in Manhattan for the rescheduled appearance.
The singer, 55, did not have to sit in the sprawling jury waiting room - instead being offered a seat in the clerk's office.
Court spokesman David Bookstaver said there were sufficient other potential jurors available to cover the cases to be heard.
He added there would be a potential distraction having the Material Girl sitting in the jury box, in addition to deploying extra security staff.
"The greater good here is that her appearance really goes to show that everyone gets called," Mr Bookstaver said.
"The intent here was not to create a distraction to other jurors or the business of the court."
Madonna is now excused from being called up for duty for another six years.
The New York court system has seen a number of famous faces appearing as jurors, including Rudy Giuliani while he was serving as mayor in 1999.
Celebrities have also pitched up for "Juror Appreciation Day" ceremonies to help promote the civic duties of those picked to hear evidence.
Actress Sarah Jessica Parker, comedian Jon Stewart, and veteran news staff Barbara Walters and Tom Brokaw have given their time for the ceremonies.

The Older Carimi. Gabe's Sister Hannah.
TGR has been obsessed with Gabe Carimi and the fact that he was the Bears number 1 draft choice was just icing on the cake. But after meeting Gabe's mother I learned a little bit about the rest of the family and Gabe's sister Hannah who was quite the athlete herself.
Hannah grew up playing with Gabe but they weren't so competitive. Her competitive nature grew as she found herself into the martial arts and really got involved in kickfighting. She became a second degree black belt. Eventually, she passed all the females around her and began kicking around the men.
Then Hannah got to college and in her first week she was approached by University of Wisconsin-Madison crew coach. Hannah made the team and rowed for 4 season. UW competed in the Big Ten and finished 2nd when Hannah was a junior.
Hannah graduated a year before Gabe, but stayed in Madison for graduate school where she is working athletic training. Ironically enough Hannah is not working out Gabe. Gabe spends his time with former pro players. But recently Gabe stepped into one of Hannah's sessions and she pushed him to the limit.
Hannah, and her mother Alayne, grew up as Bears fans so this was a blessing for the two of them. Hannah plans on going to the games. In the future she wants to attend Orthopedic school.
Hannah said that one of the most unique experiences was representing UW athletics with her brother. They spent lots of time together and shared similar schedules in college. They wore the pride of Red and White together, something most siblings can't say.
Sometimes that sports gene runs in the family and in the Carimi's case it ran a deep Red and White.
And Let Us Say…Amen.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
The word "ataxia" comes from the Greek word "a taxis," which means "without order or without coordination." Thus, ataxia means without coordination.
Persons who are diagnosed with ataxia experience a failure of muscle control in their arms and legs which may result in a lack of balance, coordination, and possibly a disturbance in gait. Ataxia may affect the fingers, hands, arms, legs, body, speech, and even eye movements.
The word ataxia is often used to describe the incoordination of symptoms that may accompany infections, injuries, other diseases, and/or degenerative changes in the central nervous system. It also describes a group of specific degenerative diseases of the central nervous system called the hereditary and sporadic ataxias. The term ataxia is a symptom - it is not a specific diagnosis. Ataxia may also refer to a group, or family, of disorders.
Many ataxias are hereditary; however, some can occur in families with no previous history of ataxia. In this case, the ataxia is referred to as sporadic ataxia.
Most disorders that result in ataxia are found to have degeneration, or atrophy, of the cells in the part of the brain called the cerebellum. The cerebellum is located at the back of the head. Its function is to coordinate voluntary muscle movements and to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.
The spine can also be affected. The terms cerebellar degeneration and spinocerebellar degeneration may be used to refer to this type of damage to the nervous system.
The various abnormal genes that cause ataxia do have something in common: they make abnormal proteins that affect nerve cells, primarily in the cerebellum and in the spinal cord. They may also affect other parts of the brain.
The affected nerve cells begin to function poorly and ultimately degenerate. As the disease progresses, muscles become less and less responsive to the commands of the brain. This causes balance and coordination to become a greater problem.
As discussed above, there are two types of ataxia:
Symptoms and time of onset may vary according to the type of ataxia. Each individual may experience symptoms differently.
Typically the most common are listed below:
The symptoms of ataxia may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a thorough medical history, family history, and complete neurological and physical examination, the following diagnostic procedures may be performed:
These diagnostic procedures may also be used to rule out other conditions that can cause ataxia to appear. Certain conditions can cause ataxia to appear suddenly, such as head trauma, stroke, brain hemorrhage, brain tumor, congenital abnormalities, post infectious conditions, exposure to certain drugs, and also following cardiac or respiratory arrests.
Some conditions can cause ataxia to appear gradually, such as hypothyroidism, deficiencies of certain vitamins such as B-12 or vitamin E, exposure to certain drugs, multiple sclerosis, syphilis, and other disorders.
At this time there is no cure for the hereditary ataxias. There is also no medication currently available which treats the specific symptom of ataxia.
If ataxia is due to a stroke, a low vitamin level, or exposure to a toxic drug or chemical, then treatment is aimed at treating those specific conditions.
The treatment for the incoordination or imbalance mostly involves the use of adaptive devices to allow the individual to maintain as much independence as possible. Such devices may include the use of a cane, crutches, walker, or wheelchair. Physical therapy, speech therapy, and medications to help symptoms such as tremor, stiffness, depression, spasticity, and sleep disorders may also be beneficial.
Research is being conducted on cerebellar and spinocerebellar degeneration including work aimed at finding the cause(s) of ataxias and ways to treat, cure, and ultimately prevent them, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

SEATTLE - In a tightly contested 3-point loss to USC (12-5, 6-2), sophomore point guard Emily Florence once again led the charge for the 25th-ranked Washington Huskies (12-4, 5-2).
Playing against a lane-clogging zone, the Huskies needed to rely on outside shooting to keep them in the game. Florence answered the call with a team high three three-pointers on 3-7 shooting. She matched her season and career-high with a team-best 13 points, shooting 5-for-9 from the field.
It was the second-straight double-figure scoring game for Florence, who tallied 11 points in Thursday's win over UCLA.
The 5-5 point guard also tallied a team-leading seven rebounds, many of which came on scrambling hustle plays. The sophomore also racked up five assists.
"Emily is a committed worker who wants to improve every time she steps on the court. Her competitive desire helps drive this team daily," said UW head coach June Daugherty said.
In a game with nine lead changes and six ties, Florence's leadership was invaluable, but in the end poor free throw shooting (4-13), and USC's 40-25 rebounding advantage, sank the Huskies.

One of Canada's premiere skating coaches has taken down her shingle.
After more than 30 years of standing at the boards, Manon Perron has embarked on a new career.
In April she bid farewell to the St. Léonard, Qué., skating school she has run for decades to take up a position with the Fédération de patinage artistique du Québec. Perron's mandate is to guide the rising stars of the sport and identify talent in the province.
"Two years ago, the Québec section offered me a full-time job as a skating mentor. I told them I definitely want the job but I have to finish what I started with Joannie [Rochette]," Perron explained. "I told Joannie at that time that I was finishing with her in 2010, and everyone at my school was aware that this change would take place."
She was the driving force behind Rochette for 12 years, but under Perron's tutelage a host of other Canadian skaters from the novice through the senior ranks claimed numerous medals at the national and international levels.
Though Perron's swan song, the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, should have been one of most memorable highlights of her career, the event was overshadowed by the sudden death of Rochette's mother the day prior to the ladies short program. The glory of the Olympic Games was lost in a sea of grief. "It was a nightmare," Perron recalled.
That her student rose above that grief to compete and claim a medal was not surprising to Perron. "It has always been my vision that when you are really ready and really well-trained you can handle any situation. Muscle memory takes over. That is what happened with Joannie."
Perron said she knew after the short program that Rochette would likely be standing on the podium. "Joannie is not a short program skater, and I said to myself: 'OK, she is going to have an Olympic medal.'
"My emotions were mixed when she won the bronze. Yes, I was happy because it was the goal of a lifetime, but at what price? I would have been very happy in a normal situation, but I knew her mother really well. After 12 years we had developed a strong friendship. Can you really be happy when something like this happens? The answer is no.
"Maybe in a few years I will say yes, goal achieved and I will be really happy about it, but at this time I cannot say that.
"But I do want to thank the world for all the support we got at the Olympics. Thank you to everyone who was there when you were most needed."
Perron's dedication to the sport has not gone unnoticed. In 2003 Skate Canada bestowed the Competitive Coach of the Year Award on her. In 2007 she was named Coach of the Year and was also the recipient of the Skate Canada
Competitive Coach Excellence Award. She received a $10,000 grant through GM Canada's "Making Dreams Possible" program for 2008 and 2009.
"This summer Skate Canada wanted to give me another coaching award and asked me to tell them how many national medals the skaters I coached had won over the years," Perron said. "Since I started coaching at the national level in 1992, my skaters had won 36 medals in singles. It was amazing because I never realized it before. I just went with the flow."
When asked if she had any regrets about her decision to leave coaching behind, Perron laughed. "No, I have the best of everything now. I am just doing what I love," she said. "I am really happy because I only take care of the skaters in Québec, and it is just my way of doing things.
"I have good relationships with the coaches and skaters. If they need choreographers, sports psychologists or anything else, I have all the connections to help them. And at the end of the day I am not thinking about costumes or music for next season, so it is less work for me."
Perron spent part of the off-season conducting skating seminars in Europe. "I gave a lot of on- and off-ice seminars. Joannie and Stéphane Lambiel joined me at the one I gave in Switzerland," she said.
"At the off-ice seminars I talk about jumping techniques and have skaters give demonstrations; I speak about how one becomes a champion, the sacrifices that have to be made, and all the expertise it requires to take a child and turn them into a champion."
One thing Perron is also looking forward to is spending more time with her family. "I don't think my family realizes yet that I am home more because I still go away, but it is not so often."
Looking back over her career, Perron said there were many wonderful highlights. "When Joannie won the novice and junior titles, that was special for sure.
"Her first senior Grand Prix medal, the World and Olympic medals – all the new stuff that happened after working so hard for so long were special moments.
"I have to say it was a lot of fun, and I have no regrets."

President's Office
Central Administration (CA)
Room 110
Executive Assistant to the President
Julie Jimenez
Pueblo native Patty Erjavec has served as President of Pueblo Community College (PCC) since June 1, 2010. She oversees PCC's main campus in Pueblo as well as its Fremont Campus in Canon City and its Southwest Colorado Community College East Campus in Durango and West Campus in Mancos/Cortez. She is the college's first woman president.
Erjavec's main areas of focus at PCC have been on improving student access, retention and graduation rates. She gained approval for bond issues that developed a new and modern Learning Center on the Pueblo campus as well as an expanded, enhanced student-approved College Center, both projects directly targeting student success by providing more learning resources and student life.
In addition, Patty was instrumental in the college adopting a number of initiatives aimed at enhancing student success and growth as well as customer service. These included:
In her first year, Erjavec introduced the annual Celebration Walk that has become part of the tradition on the first day of each fall semester to congratulate students for taking the first step on their journey to success. She also was the catalyst for PCC adopting the "PCC Promise" to develop a college-wide culture of positively helping and respecting both students and staff while celebrating their accomplishments.
Prior to coming to PCC, Erjavec worked 11 years at El Pueblo … an Adolescent Treatment Community including the last nine as its President and CEO. Under her leadership, El Pueblo evolved into a Center of Excellence, noted for providing high-quality care in the delivery of a continuum of residential and non-residential services. It also became an accredited Behavioral Healthcare Facility and was licensed by the Colorado Department of Human Services' Division of Behavioral Health to provide substance abuse treatment. She also oversaw the construction and renovation of 11 therapeutic cottages and several other support services on the El Pueblo grounds. Under her direction, it increased its capacity by 50%.
Before starting at El Pueblo, Erjavec was employed in a variety of responsible capacities with three Pueblo companies. She held several positions with PCL Packaging, Inc., including six years as its general manager; was Controller for Magnum Gas & Oil, Inc.; and was Cost Accountant/Supervisor for Alpha Beta Packing Company.
During her working career, Erjavec served over seven years on the State Board of Community Colleges and Occupational Education, two of those years as chairperson. She served on the Board for USD Bank and the Colorado Association of Family and Children's Agencies. Patty is a member of Rotary #43 and is a former board member for the Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center, the Colorado Association of Commerce & Industry Education Foundation, St. John Neumann Catholic School, and the Workforce Development Board of Pueblo, Huerfano and Las Animas counties. She also has contributed to numerous other local and state boards, committees or agencies by serving as them either as their chair, officer or member.
Ms. Erjavec has been recognized for both her professional and personal contributions by several organizations. She was inducted into the Pueblo Hall of Fame in 2010 and the South High School Alumni Hall of Fame in 2008. In 2005, Patty was named Administrator of the Year by the Colorado Adolescent Mental Health Coalition, and in 2003 she became the first woman recipient of the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce's Charles W. Crews Outstanding Business Person of the Year award. In spring 2013, she was cited for her support of students by being named the recipient of the Colorado Community College System's President/Vice President Award, and she also was presented with a Distinguished Service to Education Award by CSU-Pueblo for both current and long-time efforts to aid students.
Patty completed her Ph.D. in Education Leadership (Research and Policy) from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs in April 2015. She has a master's degree in non-profit management from Regis University, where she graduated with Alpha Sigma Nu Honor Society honors, and a bachelor's degree in business administration, with an emphasis in accounting, from the University of Southern Colorado (now Colorado State University-Pueblo). She was a participant in the Leadership for the 21stCentury at Harvard Kennedy School, JFK School of Government, Executive Education, Class of 2008; the El Pomar Foundation Nonprofit Executive Leadership Program in 2002; and the 2001 Leadership Pueblo class.

Since the age of 10, Justin Smith has been growing grapes in the same place in Paso Robles. At that tender young age he was planting grapes on the hillsides and ridges that his family still farms today. He has lived his life on this hard calcerous soil, kicking his feet in the dry dust, and unearthing his share of ancient petrified whale bones from the cement, hard ground, sometimes with the aid of a jackhammer.
Wine was in his blood, you might say. Justin, still very young by nearly anyone's standards, started Linne Calodo Cellars in 1997 with a friend, but after five years left to start his own label, Saxum Vineyards in 2002. By all accounts he has had a blockbuster beginning. With Wine Enthusiast and Robert Parker scores ranging from 93 to 95 for his initial wines produced from family vineyards, Justin has already made a name for himself and quickly sold out of his small lots of wine (approximately 450 cases).
Smith uses what he calls "minimal" techniques, that amount to non-interventional winemaking. Other than his proud use of one of the only handcrafted Hypac basket presses (to crush his grapes) used anywhere outside of Australia (also used by Torbreck - one of Australia's most well known small producers) Smith does nearly everything by hand. He uses no filtering, no fining, just a lot of maceration, and then into the barrel to let the wine take care of itself.
This particular wine is 90% Syrah and 10% Grenache. The fruit comes from three different vineyards: Denner, Heartstone, and James Berry Vineyard, all of which share the proliferation of broken rock that gives the wine its name.
Tasting Notes:
This wine is dark black-ruby in color, perhaps one of the deepest shades of red I have ever seen. Its nose is remarkably high toned, probably owing to the Grenache, with aromas of candied violets and blackberries with some earthier hints of tobacco. In the mouth it is rich and full with a gorgeous, satiny mouthfeel and flavors of blackberry, tar, and cassis, that taper into a long, lasting, and very satisfying finish. Weighing in at nearly 16% alcohol this wine is incredibly smooth and shows no heat or effect of its high octane nature.
Food Pairing:
I tasted this tonight with a great beef daube, which was nearly a perfect pairing for the rich flavors of the wine.
Overall Score: 9.5
How much?: $70
I was unable to find a source for this particular wine, but at least one of Justin's other wines is available online.

Metzger Farm Open Space opened to the public in November 2012, but many people still haven't "found" it. On a warm spring day in March 2014, the parking lot only had 2-3 vehicles.
Metzger Farm is the perfect place for a flat, easy spring hike. The crush rock/gravel trail isn't muddy, like so many other trails in the area.
The open space park is off 120th and Lowell (directions below). From the parking lot, walk a short distance distance on the main path to the Metzger Farm buildings -- the farmhouse, the barn, several outbuildings and some old farm equipment. The area was first settled in the late 1800s by the Gay family. John Metzger, a former Colorado Attorney General, purchased the property in 1943, according to the city of Westminster's website. His family sold the property to the city in 2006.
As you walk by the farm, you'll come to a trail split. Turn right here and head around the buildings. Soon you'll spot one of the two ponds and a large covered picnic area. Walk out to the fishing pier and enjoy the scenery here. Look at the trees on the other side of the pond -- see any birds up there? Maybe some nests?
Now you have options:
- Walk west around the farm buildings for a short half-mile hike
- Go back to the main path, continue walking a few steps, then veer east to loop around the property
- Go back to the main path, continue walking a few steps and veer west. Walk through the trees, over Dry Creek to the Big Dry Creek Path. Once there, you can turn either direction and go for miles.
I recommend doing a portion of all three options. First, walk west a short distance to see the other side of the farm buildings, then come back to this spot. Then I recommend option 3. Go back to the main path, veer west and walk through the trees to the nearby creek. Walk to the nearby bridge, then turn around and come back.
When you get to the main split again, go east and take the loop around the property. As you walk this section of path, look west for views of Longs Peak, slightly to the north, and Mount Evans, slightly to the south.
The path passes a bench, near an old windmill, then it comes to a four-way split. Turn left here and head back toward the farm buildings. When you reach the farm buildings, turn right, back to the parking lot.
Details: The hike to the pond, through the trees to the nearby creek and bridge, then back around the open space loop is about 1.5 miles. Add extra distance by walking the Big Dry Creek Path in either direction. Note, that path is quite busy after the quiet of the Metzger Farm Open Space area.
Directions: From the intersection of 120th & Lowell, turn north on Lowell Blvd and drive a short distance to the turnoff to the parking lot for Metzger Farm.

Flash Review 1, 8-2: Pigs Fly
Philly's Silk Purse
By Chris Dohse
Copyright 2001 Chris Dohse
Most of the individuals who created
Pig Iron Theatre Company's "Gentlemen Volunteers" are graduates of the Ecole Jaques
Lecoq in Paris, a school for mime, clowning, and more. Their intimate ensemble
piece, seen last night at the Ohio Theater (part of Soho Think Tank's 2001 Ice
Factory) is played in 'promenade' style, meaning the audience follows the action
as it travels around and through the space. More than a theatrical conceit, the
ambulatory viewing weds the actors to the viewer in a way that enhances Pig Iron's
simple, well-told tale of human relationships, while creating opportunities to
smile at your companions as you shuffle from one seating station to the next.
Already an international hit, this four-night-only gig is hopefully the precursor
to a longer NYC run.
Playwright Solweig Holum's story
unfolds against the onset of World War I. Two American Red Cross volunteers (Gabriel
Quinn Bauriedel and Dito van Reigersberg) meet two nurses -- one French (Emmanuelle
Delpech), one English (Cassandra Friend) -- in France before going to the front.
A narrative emerges slowly, as each character is introduced. Then two romances
evolve and subsequently unravel, in terse vignettes of mimed action, letter writing,
humor and pathos. It would spoil enjoyment of the play to give the specific outcomes
of the two pairs; their fates are suitably cinematic amid war's strife.
The Lecoq training creates articulately
physical, acutely sensitive characterizations. All four actors are winning and
adept. Pedestrian activity, gesture and emotion combine as an evocative whole.
James Sugg, sound designer for the production, accompanies the play with an environment
of sound effects from various stations near the action.
As luck would have it, the five-year-old
Pig Iron is based in Philadelphia, a city I'm not crazy about in general. I got
a surprise reading the program notes. Years ago, Pig Iron's costume designer (Lisa
Leaverton) sang and played viola in on the soundtrack of a dance I created in
Baltimore! These people, like New York's Ridge Theatre Company and Chicago's Goat
Island, are clearly on the edge of an exciting synthesis of text and movement
that could well ignite many knock-offs. "Gentlemen Volunteers," with its creative
use of space and vibrant performances, makes a memorable, inspiring evening of

This season Ovadia & Sons veered away from traditional menswear towards a more urban environment, and Ford Men's Bryce, Philip and Ethan joined them for the journey. Bryce, Ethan and Philip exuded a self-assured confidence behind keyhole sunglasses in looks that felt part James Dean, part modern day. Whether grounded in looks from the past or present, there was no denying that these were city boys.

The Adventures of Captain Proton!
Ok, I posted a thread in Theatre Company about starting a Captain Proton RP. The results I got were underwhelming. Those threads would have died a slow, painful death. This one probably will, too, but at least I don't have to make others join in the painful story. This is also for those old people out there who miss the days where you could go the store and buy a loaf of bread, a carton of eggs, a bag of milk, and still get change back from your dime.
Now, this is a little different than most other fics. It is based on the early twentieth century concept of serials. You know, stuff like Commando Cody, etc. from the 1920's onward. The kinds of stories you hear about where the scantily clad female sidekick falls into massive pits by accident, and the hero must saver her before the cheesy looking robot kills her.
The main character of the stories is known as Captain Proton, the defender of Earth, the scourge of intergalactic evil. He has a rocket pack, a ray gun, and his own rocketship.
Captain Proton has a sidekick named Buster Kincaid. Buster is really just for comic relief, though it isn't really needed, as it's already pretty comical.
Constance Goodheart is Captain Proton's secretary. She is the scantily clad female sidekick who always gets captured by the bad guys. You know, the kind of person who, when told to "stay here", immidiately wonders off into danger.
There is one more good guy, but he is more of a peripheral character. He is the President of Earth. He gives Captain Proton all his missions, etc. He is never actually seen.
The main villain is the evil Doctor Chaotica, a bearded menace bent on the destruction of Earth and domion over all living creatures in the universe. As is common with villains with this goal, he kills ruthlessly. He resides in his Fortress of Doom on Planet X.
Chaotica's commander is named Londvach. He is bummbling idiot, also really only meant for comic relief.
Doctor Chaotica also has a robot, which Proton has dubbed "Satan's Robot".
Another 'villain' is Arachnia, Queen of the Spider people. Caotica is in love with her, but there isn't really much else to say about her other than that she and her spider people are natives of Planet X.
There will be other villains, but they will be revealed later in the series.
Each week, on Friday night at around 8:00pm (EST), I will post a new chapter in the adventures of Captain Proton. Each Chapter will end in a cliff hangar, which will be resolved in the following chapter. I will post the first chapter soon.
Umm..... okay.... 20's style sci-fi? Little scary, and isn't this forum only made for Star Wars related stuff only?
Edit: I'm not saying that it's bad, just that it's 20's sci-fi, and that stuff can give little kids nightmares. Keep up the good work, but I'm not sure the mods will let it stay here.
This is too cheesy to give anybody nightmares. I'm making a point of it. Don't worry, it'll still be great.... just cheesy.
Hall, a lot of the situations GL used in Star Wars and the series are right out of those old serials. I am not old enough to remember them first hand but the characters created back then still ive today.
I think the only one you would have a hard time selling today in the old female lead. But there are enough real idiots in and out of skirts that can play the parts.
