SAN FRANCISCO -- Restaurants and hotels with views of the lights are filling up, art critics are arriving from out of town, and locals are picking their spots to view Tuesday's debut of the $8 million Bay Lights project.
When the switch is hit at 9 p.m., the world's largest light sculpture will blaze from the glow of 25,000 LED lights on the west span of the Bay Bridge. Software-generated patterns of light will pulse and shimmer across the 1.8-mile-long stretch between Yerba Buena Island and San Francisco from dusk to 2 a.m. nightly for two years.
Only time will tell if the public embraces New York artist Leo Villareal's project as a bold work of art or a flash in the pan. But the project is making waves here as it nears its Tuesday debut. The lights can be seen from the waterfront in San Francisco and Marin counties or at www.thebaylights.org.
"We think it's going to draw a lot of people to the San Francisco waterfront," said Duane Stinson, general manager of Sinbad's restaurant on Pier 2. "We've seen the test runs on the lights through our big windows over the bay, and it's really something else."
He said reservations are nearly gone for opening night tables.
Elsewhere, special opening night bay cruises on at least two boats are sold out -- including one aboard the Oakland-based Potomac for $75 per ticket and a $200-per-person gala fundraiser cruise -- and tickets are going fast for other light cruises.
Publicity for the huge project is spurring demand. Stories on the lights have appeared across the country on TV and in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Salon.com and elsewhere. And art critics from around the country are flying in to view the show.
The Embarcadero will be ground zero for celebrations. At 8 p.m., there will be hot chocolate and churros at Pier 7 for those waiting for the lights to come on. And the MarketBar at the Ferry Building will mark the occasion with "Illuminated Cocktails" from 7 to 10 p.m.
Nearby Hotel Vitale, which has windows and terraces overlooking the bridge, is nearly booked for Tuesday night when friends and patrons of the privately funded Bay Lights project will gather for a celebration.
"Several of our guests who have seen the light tests have told us they're coming back to stay and see it," said Melony Williams, the hotel's general manager.
She said she believes the light sculpture will have lasting appeal because the lights are pretty and the patterns do not repeat.
So does John Goodwin, an East Bay resident who drove to San Francisco one night to see the lights being tested.
"It was unexpected and mesmerizing. We looked at it easily for 60 minutes, maybe 90," said Goodwin, who works for a regional transportation agency with no direct stake in the privately funded art project.
While the light sculpture will be shown at www.thebaylights.org, art lovers can't see it in person just anywhere along the bay. San Francisco's waterfront -- particularly the Embarcadero -- and parts of Marin County are the best viewing areas.
To avoid a distraction to motorists on the Bay Bridge, the 25,000 lights were installed facing north and placed on the north side of the bridge. Caltrans insisted on that as a safety measure.
That orientation -- plus Yerba Buena Island obscuring views of the bridge from many vantage points -- means the sculpture will be visible from few places in the East Bay other than Point Richmond, said Amy Critchett, executive director of the Bay Lights project.
The group has raised $6 million of the $8 million cost of the light sculpture by Villareal, whose software program will control the patterns and intensity of the lights.
Villareal has exhibited light sculptures in many places, including the San Jose Museum of Art. He has a permanent exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
Wendy Norris, an arts publicist for Bay Lights, said art writers and critics from around the country are expected for the opening because of the art's setting and Villareal's prominence.
"It's a monumental project like the Christo fence across Marin County in 1976," she said. "What will the public think of it? You don't know until after opening night."

Bay lights
A privately financed light sculpture using 25,000 LED lights affixed to the west span of the Bay Bridge will be turned on at 9 p.m. Tuesday on the opening night of its two-year run.
The event will be shown at www.thebaylights.org starting at 8:30 p.m. with a video about the project and light sculptor Leo Villareal.
The sculpture is oriented to the north side of the bridge, making waterfront areas in San Francisco and Marin counties the best viewing spots.
Regular webcasts of the nightly light display also can be viewed at www.thebaylights.org.

I found these forums and this one in particular, and I'd like to share a story with all of you ending with a question I'd like to ask !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!. I am a 15 year old girl and I weigh about 190 pounds. I had noticed in gym class that when I ran, I was slow, but I didn't mind running too much. I had meant to join cross country that year in high school (my 9th grade), but I got scared because I'd heard stories of the huge amount of miles that they run and how fast everyone was. I was scared that they'd make fun of me for being slow because I used to get teased all the time in gym class for being one of the slowest, and so I didn't join that year. Over the summer into 10th grade my mom persuaded me to join, coaxing me, because she thought it would be a good experience and give me some exercise. I finally joined, scared and.. it turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. The girls on the team were so friendly, and even though I was the slowest on the team by a good amount, I was never treated any differently. At the meets, people wouldn't turn away in disgust or point and laugh like in gym class where everyone else was, but actually cheer me on and tell me to keep going, and I even that I was respected for joining the team, something I have not felt in a long time. I regret not joining last year, there is something about running miles and going through pain that bonds you with your teammates, and I felt so good after finishing the season, I was so proud that I did it, that I gave it my all, and survived some of those "killer" runs up huge hills. My mile time went from a 10:00 to a 9:00, and I lost about 10 pounds from cross country. My question is, I would like to get even faster, because cross country has really inspired me to run harder and faster.
I was wondering, how much could I run, because now I really want to break 8:00 in the mile and get down to a good slim weight. I don't think I will do track this year, I feel like I am not ready for that since it is about speed, and my mile times don't seem sufficient =/. I want to do it next year if I can break 8:00, I view breaking 7 as something crazy, but anything is possible right?
Thanks if you read all of the above, I would appreciate some good advice on any type of training schedule and I can provide more information is needed. Thanks!
If you want to run Cross Country then run Cross country...
Stop worrying about what everyone else does and thinks.
There's no reason why you can't break an 8:00 mile. It'll take some smart training and, most importantly, consistent deadication on your part. Train smart, it's not always about banging your head against the wall as hard as you can.
Set some intermediate and short term goals.
Watch your nutrtion and food intake - that's gonna be the key to weightloss.
Don't fear high mileage. Don't pursue it foolishly, but don't be afraid. High mileage is one of the keys to success in this sport. It's pretty fun, too.
When you say "I was wondering how much I could run" are you asking what sort of weekly mileage you should be turning right now?
It was very brave of you to join the team. Keep getting out there consistently. Don't take too much on all at once so that you can keep going and SLOWLY increasing your mileage. Don't worry about your speed at this point. As you have already learned you will keep getting faster if you are just able to stay consistent with your training schedule.
Another thought I had was if you kept training with the team over the winter into Spring track I can see you doing quite well this year. Don't rule out doing track this year. Look at the friendships you've made and the confidence you are building. These things can only help your running for next year and beyond.
I agree with Brian, keep up the work with the teammates you've established relationships with. Join the track team and do the workouts. Track has longer runs, the 1600, 3200...etc. You will be doing considerable mileage each week to help you establish your goals of shedding a few lbs and decreasing your time. Go for it and have fun all the way! There is only one person that can finish in first place, but everyone else is a winner for simply participating.
Join the team, a lot of the same people are going to be on the track team as were on the Cross Country team. Continue to build those relationships that you have forged already. Run and have fun this year and try not to put to much pressure on yourself with the times. It will come with the training you are doing. Plus having the coaching there is priceless as far a workouts go. They will point you in the right direction and keep you moving in the right direction.
Eat smart, I remember what I used to eat like when I was that age and totally regret it. The Cokes or other sugary drinks are wasted calories. Weight lose is a simple; eat less, move more. You have to eat to fuel your body so you can run, so don't stop eating to lose the weight. Hence more miles. Just make smarter choices and treat your body with respect. When you lose those next 10lbs. you are going to be really close to breaking your 8:00min goal. It's really amazing what losing a few pounds can do for your speed.
Set smaller goals along the way that you know you can achieve. You will be there before you know it. Your storey is great, keep us posted on how you are doing.
Hook up with the distance runners - you probably know them from the cross country team. They're are probably starting workouts for the indoor season and certainly the outdoor track season. You don't have to run in any meets, but you should be able to work out with them. Then, later in the spring, find a local running club. Enter a 5k and you'll find a lot of runners slower than you. Let us know how you're doing.
I am also a teen runner and i was in your same position about 4 months ago. It was my junior year, i was a thrower for track, and at the end of the season at 5'11 240 pounds i wasnt in the best of shape. I talked to the coach and soon after track was over i started running voluntary practices with the cross country team. in my first 5k on june 11th i ran a 31:29. That day i became hooked and ive been running and training hard ever since. Im down to 217 pounds and this past saturday i ran a 23:38 5k at a pace of 7:37 per mile. Never give up, always push that much harder, and you will achieve your goals. keep it up

CC Cream: The Next BB Cream?
BB creams (aka souped-up moisturizers that offer up coverage and treat skin care concerns, like acne and wrinkles) were all the rage until a new multitasking formula rolled into town.
Enter CC creams, short for color and correct, which are basically BB creams on steroids. They provide more coverage, yet still go on sheer; they're more moisturizing; and they contain hard-core anti-aging ingredients.
Case in point: Olay Total Effects CC Tone Correcting Moisturizer, $17.59, drugstore.com. This particular CC cream contains lightening ingredients (N-acetyl glucosamine and niacinimide) that help brigthen your skin tone, helping to even out any pigmentation after six to eight weeks of continuous use. Instantly though, it gives your complexion a luminous, flawless-looking glow. Bottom line: You're getting short- and long-term tone correction—and anti-aging benefits—in a bottle. Awesome.
Introduced overseas first, brands like Chanel, Luisdina, and iFiona already have CC creams on shelves in Asia, but lucky enough, we get a taste of this new formula stateside, thanks to Olay. Something else to keep on your radar: Other companies like Wet n' Wild, Dr. Jart, and Juice Beauty will also be launching CC creams come January, so stay tuned.
Will you be trading in your BB cream for a CC cream?

STANFORD -- Nobody knows Stanford fans like Howard Wolf. As the longtime president of the alumni association, Wolf has a keen sense for how the school's 211,000 living alums across 151 countries view the football team's upcoming appearance in the Rose Bowl.
"It's the pinnacle," Wolf said. "Many of our alumni would rather the team play in the Rose Bowl than in the national championship. It means everything."
It's worth a lot, too.
Stanford's back-to-back-to-back appearances in the Bowl Championship Series have generated television exposure worth tens of millions of dollars, boosted fundraising by millions more and fueled recruiting efforts -- not only for the football program but, it appears, the university as a whole.
The Orange, Fiesta and Rose bowl appearances have laid waste to long-standing assumptions, as well.
"It's invaluable in so many different ways," said Cardinal coach David Shaw, whose team will face Wisconsin on Tuesday. "Case in point: The misconception that Stanford doesn't travel well has been blown out of the water completely."
The Cardinal was well-represented two years ago in Miami and last season in Glendale, Ariz. When tickets to the Rose Bowl became available after the Pac-12 championship game, fans gobbled up the Cardinal's allotment of 31,000 in a matter of days -- and kept going.
Approximately 40,000 tickets have been sold for the team's first appearance in the Rose Bowl in 13 years.
"It's galvanizing, not just for the athletes but for Stanford in general," Shaw said. "And the money's great."
The Pac-12 Conference receives approximately $25 million from its contract with the five BCS games. After all the league's bowl participants are reimbursed for expenses, the remaining sum is distributed equally among the schools.
In other words, the Cardinal's share of direct BCS revenue is the same whether it's playing in the Rose Bowl or watching on TV.
But in every other respect, the Orange, Fiesta and Rose bowl appearances provide Stanford with incalculable benefits:
Stanford received an immense amount of free publicity from the Orange and Fiesta broadcasts. But neither game possesses the worldwide reach of the bowl they call the Granddaddy of Them All, which attracted 17.5 million viewers last season -- the second-highest among BCS games behind the national championship.
Navigate Marketing, which provides valuation estimates for clients in pro and college sports, expects Stanford to receive $11 million worth of exposure value (highlights, logo display, etc.) from the 3.5-hour Rose Bowl telecast on ESPN.
The relationship between athletic success and applications for admission is difficult to prove, but circumstantial evidence suggests a connection -- even for a school as prestigious as Stanford.
Dubbed the Luck Effect, applications have increased at a higher-than-expected rate since former quarterback Andrew Luck fueled the football team's rise to prominence.
After Stanford announced in January that it had received 36,631 applications for the Class of 2016, Bob Patterson, director of admissions at the time, told Bloomberg News:
"It's a little more than we anticipated. Stanford did very well in football, and Andrew Luck was a leader for the university."
Nothing grabs the attention of top prospects like the BCS. The 2012 recruiting class, which came on the heels of the Orange and Fiesta appearances, was No. 7 nationally -- the highest rated in school history.
"You don't just want to say you can play with anybody," Shaw said, "you want to show it."
The exposure goes beyond a three-hour television broadcast. Recruits who live near the bowl game can watch Stanford practice on site -- as five-star offensive lineman Andrus Peat did last year before the Fiesta Bowl.
"It definitely helps," said Peat, who is from Tempe and picked Stanford over USC and Nebraska. "Seeing the success of the last few years with three BCS games, that's something you want to be a part of."
Stanford doesn't release fundraising data or categorize donations in a manner that indicates a direct correlation to bowl appearances. But a source familiar with athletic department finances estimated that the Rose Bowl will generate as much as $1 million in donations.
That figure doesn't include gifts earmarked for athletic scholarships or capital projects. Nor does it account for the torrent of donations to the university's general fund from alumni who have jumped on the football bandwagon the past three years.
"If the university is a home, then athletics is like the front porch," said Wolf, whose organization will host a Rose Bowl tailgate party for 15,000 alumni.
"It's easier to understand how you're doing in football than, say, environmental studies. Athletics gives you access to other parts of the university. It's a rallying point.
"There are very few things that can bond Stanford alumni from all over the world. But as a single event, the Rose Bowl is right up there."

The Rev. Wotier's message, "The Light Is On," was taken from John 8:12-16. Jesus Christ is the most significant person who has ever lived. No matter how you approach it, no one has had more impact on human history. What impact does God's Light have in our lives? God's light gives us life — without Him we fail to thrive. God's light reveals, it enables us to see things hidden. God's light guides, the Lord will guide us continually. God's light banishes fear, the Lord is my light.
The deacon of the month is Danny Jacobs.
At 7 tonight, we'll have our business meeting/prayer meeting.
We were glad to have some special guests with us from Frankfort last week. It was also wonderful to have Mrs. Mills play the organ for us again. Bro. Andy's message, "The Beatitudes of Christ," came from Matthew 5:1-12. Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the Earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. How far are we willing to go to hear the word of God? During the children's sermon, the kids learned that God is our healer.
Sunday was indeed a special time at our church. We had our traditional fifth-Sunday meal following the morning worship.
Pastor Brad Vincent used Isaiah 6:8-13 as text for his message titled "The Blinding Power of the Gospel" as he defined how the prophet Isaiah warned the Israelites repeatedly of their need to repent and change their lifestyles before forewarning them of their ultimate destiny.
Flo Parker beautifully sang "Your Sins Are Forgiven" acappella. Bro. Dale's message from Psalm 37 helped us understand that when life gets so hard that you think you may lose your mind, remember that laughter is a good medicine; take comfort in things that last, like relationships with others, and not in material things; and control your anger.
Happy anniversary to Roy and Nila Marksberry. They have had 47 years of wedded bliss.
Please pray for these dear ones: Kim Furnish, David Furnish, Linda Haydon, Rebekah Gaines, and Mary Joan Mefford.
Our men's prayer breakfast is at 8 a.m. Saturday. Bring a friend and come for good food and fellowship.
Meeting the Needs Ministry is in dire need of personal hygiene items. Boxes for donated items are located in the MBC back foyer. Our next night to work at Meeting the Needs is from 6 to 8 Feb. 24.
Pastor Tony Watkins continued his sermon series entitled "Family Affairs." Other topics to be covered include: the mother-child relationship, living life in the fast lane and "breaking brats." Please join us as we look at what the Bible says about growing healthy families.
Gratz Baptist
Brother Lewis Adams gave a hair-standing message from God about the roads we choose.
God gave us two roads — the straight and narrow road or the curvy road — for us to take.
When you feel like you hit rock bottom, remember that Jesus said knock and the door shall open.
We get so wrapped up in life that we forget to listen to our hearts, to what God is telling us to do. He provides for us. It may not always be what you want, but thank him for what he gives you.
We had 10 people move their letter and join the church and four baptisms. Gratz is growing.
The Rev. Dann's message was "Growing Like Weeds" on Sunday. He challenged us with the question, "Is our faith still growing like weeds, is it still active?" The choir sang a beautiful melody led by Berna Tanksley; and during the "Time for Young Disciples," the children learned how easy it is to be successful when you have God's help.
Bro. John's message was on "Planking Ahead," John 14:1-3. Jesus said he prepared us a place and will come back to get us. We need to plan for our trip. Jesus will come in the blink of an eye. The dead will rise first, then the saved will rise in the air to meet him. We pack for a trip now — when Jesus comes we don't need anything but ourselves. We need to change our currency for heavenly currency. We need to help others. We need to use our gifts for the Lord and store accounts in Heaven. We need a ticket to travel here — our trip to Heaven is free, paid by Jesus on the cross.
A dedication service was recently held for Aiden and Arron Gullion. They were accompanied by Bro. Jared, Meagan and Bro. Matthew Gullion.
Last month, a man I know had surgery on his hand, the second surgery on the same hand.
After the first surgery his hand had lost quite a bit of feeling. On the one hand (no pun intended), that meant it didn't hurt any more. But on the other, no feeling meant he couldn't do his job, which requires using both hands and all his fingers.
After the second surgery his hand was still numb, which was a huge disappointment for him. But then during the middle of the night it started hurting. His wife told me he was happy for the pain because that meant he could feel again.

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
USA, 2013, 97 Minute Running Time
Additional Countries: UK
Genre/Subjects: Animals, Environmental
Programs: Documentary, Women + FilmLanguage: Spanish, English English Subtitles
DIRECTOR: Tim Phillips
Producer: Tim Phillips, Jan CreamerEditor: Tony PattinsonScreenwriter: Jan Creamer, Tim PhillipsCinematographer: Mark WhatmorePrincipal Cast: Tim Phillips, Jan Creamer, Pat Craig, Mel Richardson, Alexis Diaz, Bob Barker, David Kopp Valdiva, Jorja Fox
Produced by activist group Animal Defenders International, this punchy behind-the-scenes documentary depicts the dramatic rescue and relocation of 25 African lions from illegal Bolivian circuses. Made with undeniable passion and an unwavering sense of righteous purpose, the crisply edited and aggressively scored Lion Ark exists to move and to affect real legislative change.
For two years, ADI members infiltrated the South American circus industry, filming the appalling mistreatment of animals, which they found everywhere. Their undercover work, seen here in snippets, would prove instrumental in Bolivia's consequent ban on circus animals. Lion Ark begins in earnest in the legislation's aftermath, with the rescue agency working in concert with the Bolivian government to save the nation's captive lions. Director (and ADI vice president) Tim Phillips and his fellow filmmakers document their struggle to free the animals, shooting their ambitious and often dangerous attempts to rescue the lions from their abusive owners. Real-time responses and interviews add to the rare access that Lion Ark grants.
The story ends happily just outside Denver, with all 25 animals successfully relocated to the same Colorado wildlife preserve. While longtime animal rights activist Bob Barker and CSI actress Jorja Fox are among those on hand to celebrate the lions' airport arrival, the rescued creatures naturally prove to be the bigger stars. Indeed, over the course of Lion Ark, the viewer will get to know not only Phillips, ADI president Jan Creamer, and the rest of their outfit, but also many of the mistreated animals themselves.
In cooperation with Animal Defenders International, The Wild Animal Sanctuary, Denver School of the Arts, Stanley British Primary School

Nick, thank you so much. it's the hill runs and fartlek that I didn't understand. I guess if I just get out and do them, I'll see what it's all about.
Ginny, you are up to 10 miles already? Amazing!!!! Nick's training ideas might help you prepare for Chambersburg. It sounds like you could go the distance today.
Pennymt, I have no idea; if it were me, I'd choose the one that made me feel better about the run. Good luck with your race!
Ydiez, you are a speed demon! I'm running 5k in 45 min. Sounds like you and Pennymt might be running the same race? Good luck!!!
Debra, I too have been trying to stay outdoors. We just got our first really cold weather and I may hit the gym. I'm having trouble breathing. I can't believe I struggled through all the heat and humidity looking forward to the cold and am now running away from it.
Mike, we'll have to keep an eye on you. No more injuries!
OshCat, you are a beast with all that gym time. You'll be so ready. Wish I could fit that in my routine. Well, I wish I were fitting it in. Guess it's a goal.
Nagging cough and congestion just won't quit. Anyone know if running makes this worse or better? I wish it would get worse so I could get treatment. Instead it's just hanging there making me miserable when I exert myself. I worry about all the pressure on my heart.
Stay safe and warm!

yes, Ojai can be hot in June and definitely is hot in summer. But the half marathon will be running downhill towards the ocean so I am hoping it shouldn't be too hot. I will wait until it gets closer to June and then decide. It is the one in Big Sur which I absolutely would love to do. We will see how my plans work out! This weekend there is one here close by around where I live, along the ocean and I SOOOO would love to do it, but I am not ready for a half yet. I am at 7 miles right now, 6 more to go for a half marathon... oh well...;-)

What a great group! It looks like most of you will be doing your 1/2's before me and Mary Kay (May), so keep us posted on how your training goes. What did you have to do differently as you increased your distances? Any jedi mind tricks you'd like to pass alonng for those mental barriers? Based on your race dates it looks like some of you are about to, or have started your taper! And there's one person - I don't remember who - that is running their 1/2 this weekend. I can't wait to hear all about. Its the personal stories that keep me pushing to create my own.
Mary Kay- here's a link to a runners world article about balancing running with colds: http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-241-286--9082-0,00.html My guess is you are not the only one dealing with this. One suggestion I've tried to follow is to not push (distance or speed) when not feeling 100%. Have you found a better "place" with your training group? I've been training for my 10k with a friend in Chicago- we are on the same weeks, and we tell each other when we are running and how we did. I got an early morning text just before my first 5 miler wishing me good luck - so I had to do it, even with my doubts. Then the next day it was her turn, I returned the favor. Its helped me stay motiviated- and given me someone to whine too.
Britta- when you figure out how to train for the hills of Big Sur let me know. We've got plenty of big hills here in WV, I just question sanity of running up and down them for fun! But that would be a dreamy race.
Cheryl- Do you know any good IT Band stretches? Maybe try YouTube, you certainly don't want anything to stop you know that your this close. There is also a wrap that a friend of mine used that helps- I think it helps stablize the band.
iI'm on the last week of my HH10Kplan 6 miles set for thrusday am- I've had to juggle & squeeze some things due to a trip. Yesterday I did my 3 mile run in the toughest winter conditions to date- but I did not want to use the treadmill. Windchill was 6, with about 2 inches of snow on top of some ice. My husband thought I was crazy, heck - I was crazy. 2 silk long underwear shirts, silk leggings, windresistant sweatpants, silk balaclava (my fav- winter gear), gloves and then my yaktrax. It was awesome! By the time my 5 minute walk was over I was comfortable, the Yaktraxs made crunching sound in the snow and ice with every step and by the end, I was soaked in sweat. How fun is that. I only did 3 miles and I could feel it my calfs, I think my stride was different- shorter steps maybe. My time was about 1 1/2 minutes slower per mile, and my breathing heavier than normal- but it was quiet, pretty and a lot more fun than the gym. Just happy I didn't have to do the 6 mile run in it- but I'd be happy to do my short runs in those conditions again. It makes me more hopeful for the 1/2 in May.
Happy running and good health to you all

I am hoping the hills aren't too bad. I checked out the elevation profile and the maximum elevation gain is 80 feet. That is not bad I think, although it might be a different story in a distance of a half marathon! :-) I am often trail running with bigger elevation gains, I just ran a trail race which had one big elevation gain of 800ft (of course I only ran a little bit of it and then walked the rest) and even in my neighborhood runs there are constantly hills (I love them!), so I am not too afraid. Maybe during summer I get a chance to drive up there and check out the route. To answer your question... I will mostly train for the hills by doing lots of trail running. :-)
Also, the Big Sur Half Marathon is taking place in Monterey and Pacific Grove and not in Big Sur itself... but I just looked it up, it seems the Big Sur INternational Marathon is directly in Big Sur, and therefor on the Highway Nr. 1 with all its hills and elevations :-)

Hi OshCat! Here is the link to the DCHM http://www.doorcountyhalfmarathon.com/ There is a video section that will take you through the course which begins and ends at Nicolet Bay. I'm sure you'll recognize some park landmarks. I ran the 5k last year after graduating C25K. After that race I was hooked.
You have an awesome training schedule! WTG!! Hope the snow doesn't keep you inside too long.
Due to the recent snow fall and the bike path not being plowed 100%, ran my long distance run of 9.23 miles at the indoor track. 33 laps to be exact!! The track surrounds the Olympic Speed Skating track so there is always lots to watch -- speed/ice skaters, hockey games, speed training, race walkers and fellow runners. It is cold, but comfortable inside and YEA! no wind. It is a nice option when it is too dangerous to run outside, but I do prefer running outside on the bike paths and Rails to Trails.
Best wishes to anyone who raced this weekend! Run strong, friends
I survived my long run this Sunday morning of 11.8 miles. After a 10-minute stretch, it was rest, ice, elevate, and a cup of hot chocolate. Finally broke that mental barrier of not being able to do a half. Now going to start my taper for my first feb 5 HM. Now, if laundry, cleaning, and cooking chores can be done in a 3-hour cutoff or DNF status. Seriously!
Way to go Penny! You've got this, the half that is...maybe the laundry can wait. Good luck with the taper and keep us posted as they days get closer.

Stephanie~Good for you getting out and enjoying the beauty of winter running! I also notice a tightness in my calves after wearing Yaktrax. Particularly, when the snow is softer and not packed down. I take a little longer to stretch out after and it does help. How are you liking the HH 10k plan? I used it for my first 10k, and I felt totally prepared.
pennymt~WTG! on completing the 11.8 mile run!!! The HM is yours! Doesn't laundry/cleaning/cooking count as cross-training???
britta~800 ft. elevation gain -- You are my inspiration! How do you train for hills like that? My HM has a gain of 125 ft. at mile 4. I ran it as part of a 6 mile run last summer. It wiped me out! I do have 8 month of training and mile under my belt since then, though. I do get in hill repeats every other week, but wonder if it will be enough.
Mary Kay~Hope the nagging cough and congestion is beginning to fade. Not that this suggestion will help you this year, but for years I seemed to get colds/strep throat/bronchitis on a rotating basis for the duration of the fall/winter/spring. A RN suggested gargling with diluted antiseptic mouthwash 2x/day. In 8 years, I have not had so much as a cold! Worth a try.
Hope everyone has a great training week. Run strong, friends!
Yesterday, enjoyed a beautiful, easy 4 miles on the bike trail. Lots of folks enjoying the MLK holiday on a sunny, mid-30 degree day. First run with the Yaktrax this season, and its already January! Step back in mileage this week before I attempt my first 10 miles! Today, stretching and stregthening work.
I am training for my 2nd Half Marathon scheduled for 3-11-12
I did my first Half Marathon in Oct.,2010.
I chose this second race carefully, I think- it's on a canal towpath,off pavement, mostly crushed limestone surface I think and very flat.- It's also during a cool temp. part of the year( I expect temps maybe in the 50's)- I will be driving down from Ohio to do it in Roanoak Rapids- so it will be the start of spring for me.
I am 49 now and about 240# now- so I need a knee friendly surface and cool temps to go that distance. what I learned from my first race was that, for me I need a training program where my long run will not be over about 10 miles so
I am pretty much doing a version of a Hal Higdon plan.
I think I really over trained the first time around for the race in 2010 with long runs of over 12 milesand an improper taper
I am hoping for a time under about 2:35 or so.
a couple of important things i learned during my first Half.
1) my first Half was run in conjunction with a full marathon being run at the same time-
I was simply astounded at how supportive and encouraging the full marathoners were towards the half marathoners- really and truly words can't express it.
2) not to get to zen on you or anything- but the end of the half marathon may be a emotional or somewhat life changing experience for you- be prepared for it. At the very least you will likely be somewhat de-hydrated AND in a somewhat altered mental state.- what ever responsible adult is meeting you at the end of the race should be prepared for this and let you walk it off for an extended time. I was fairly zoned out at the end of the race and my wife figured I could just chug a gatorade and immediately snap out of it- but it takes some time to come back to the real world,LOL( by real world i mean one in which you can intereact with others and not spend ALL of your mental energy on simply putting one foot in front of the other!!!)
Best wishes all,
@girlintheorchard - thanks for the link, it looks like a beautiful race! I might be able to convince DH to go to that one. I wish I had your indoor track to run on, the one at my Y is ~ 17 laps to the mile, talk about feeling like a hampster on the wheel LOL! At least on the t-mill I can zone out watching tv.
I attempted an outdoor run this past Monday (holiday for me!) but it did not go well. It amazes me how people around here can NOT shovel their sidewalks! My goal was to repeat 7 miles one more time, but I ended up doing 4 and walking A LOT of it . Killed my calves in the first mile and got so frustrated with conditions that I decided to only run where the sidewalks were clear after that. We are getting more snow today so it looks like next weekend will be inside again.
Good running, everyone!

Debra (girlintheorchard),
of course I was not able to run an 800ft elevation :-) I walked most of it :-) But I go trail running a lot and I run hills every day in my neighborhood. I am hoping to improve both on trail running and my mileage in general.

Starting my 3-week taper for my first half. Run an easy 5-k run this morning.
Stephanie and Debra - thanks for the encouragement. Really appreciated it. RE the laundry, really need to get it done soon
Stephen - thanks for the input regarding what to expect after the HM.
For my long runs, I use GU chomps and Gatorade without any GI problems so far. But I have been reading some articles online and from what I understand you are supposed to mix energy gels with just plain water and not energy drinks. What's your take on this?
I would think if you have used gatorade and guchomps in combo on your long training runs without problems, then you should be pretty confident to use them in combo on your Half marathon.
sounds like you are ready.
on my long runs I have used only gatorade when running outside. I have never used energy gels but I intend to experiment with them over the next month or so because in the past once I got above 9-10 miles on training runs I tended to start dragging the last few miles. Really,REALLY best wishes to you,
Great to see this topic on here and to compare notes with people! I'm working towards a 1/2 marathon at the end of March. I'm pretty much a beginner, I'd say. I ran a 10k in October and surprised myself by running the whole thing. Did a 4 mile run in December, and on my own I'm about a 2 1/2mile, 3x a week person. I am trying to stick to a training plan, but it's outpacing me and I'm finding myself getting tired quickly (I think I don't pace myself that well). My approach for now is to try to run 3 miles three days a week and 5 miles on one day until I feel like I can push further, and then just do as much of the 1/2 marathon as I can. I want to finish it, but if it has to be a combination of walking and running, that's okay with me.
Good luck in all your races!
It's ok to use GU w/ Gatoraide. The GU needs a liquid to help facilitate the carbodehydrate absorbsion into the body faster. I do find on the longer runs (10+ miles) I need something with more than carbs, so in addition to my cliff bar blox (pure carbs), I usually have half of a cliff bar, cut up, with me that can take a piece every mile or so after the first 90min of running

Letters: North County, Feb. 15, 2013
Address the data
When DNA was discovered in 1953, it came to light that it was an information-bearing mechanism they called the "genetic code."
The "code" was composed of four letters (ACGT) representing four nucleic bases, called nucleotides. In highly specified sequences, they provide the information in the cell to produce the energy necessary for life, the synthesis of proteins and enzymes for chemical reactions; in essence, they produced life.
Computers use a series of zeros and ones to produce the "binary code" that gives us the information to form sentences and books. The binary code is very complicated with just two digits, so the genetic code, with four letters in conjunction with 20 amino acids, is inherently more complicated and capable of representing vastly more information.
All codes of which I am aware are created by some form of intelligence. Herein, we have the "DNA enigma." How can undirected chemicals perform the wonders that evolutionary thinking requires? I ask one question: where did that information come from?
I try to give data from science, not interpretations from scientists, so would people like Mary Becker ("Creationist tactics mislead the public," Dec. 21), instead of castigating Christianity and the messenger, please address the data? It would be refreshing.
Irvin Forbing
Would welcome serious counter-argument
Dan Shapiro ("Would welcome serious gun control discussion," Jan. 31) responded to an earlier letter I wrote ("Nonsense on gun control," Jan. 25), but doesn't make a serious counter-argument.
He starts off by saying, "Jack needs to read the Supreme Court decision, 'District of Columbia v Heller.'"
Yes, I am aware of that decision — I discussed it in an earlier letter. As I previously stated, Heller (2008) was a terrible decision by an activist conservative court that broke with 200 years of case law on the subject.
I suggest Mr. Shapiro and like-minded thinkers read Miller (1939) or Lewis (1980). I urge anyone who doubts me to review either of these cases.
In Lewis, the Supreme Court "reaffirmed the position first established in U.S. v. Miller that 'the Second Amendment guarantees no right to keep and bear a firearm that does not have 'some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia' "
Mr. Shapiro later makes a curious statement: "Everyone knows that guns kill people." He apparently hasn't paying much attention to the gun control debate. Anyone who follows the news constantly hears the cliché, "people kill people, not guns," by the National Rifle Association and its supporters.
Perhaps Mr. Shapiro should communicate this supposedly obvious fact to his fellow gun enthusiasts.
Jack Davis
Second Amendment is not obsolete
With respect to Bruce Thompson ("The Second Amendment is obsolete," Feb. 2), and thanks to his son for his military service, I think their view that the Second Amendment is obsolete is myopic.
Beginning with "the blessings of liberty," our founders specifically guaranteed a number of individual rights that the government shouldn't mess with. The "right to keep and bear arms" is only one. The overriding premise of the Constitution is that the individual is sovereign in his enumerated rights and the government is restrained from infringing upon those rights.
The right to own a gun for the protection of life and property is as rational today as it was 200 years ago. As for owning a gun to oppose tyranny in this age of rockets, tanks and aircraft, that's a moot point. What is significant is the understanding that there will be no "tyranny" to oppose as long as government adheres to the constitutional restraints the framers placed upon it.
Grant Kuhns
Words have meanings
J. Howard Crews claims the first four words of the Second Amendment are key ("A well regulated militia is key," Feb. 2).
He's right. He just doesn't have the correct key.
Coming home on leave in the mid '70s, after just joining the National Rifle Association, I had a question about the Second Amendment for my dad, an American history teacher. As usual, instead of telling me, he had me look it up. He gave me an old dictionary he had used in 1950 getting his Masters at Bowling Green State University.
I looked up "militia" and saw the usual definitions. But at the end of the article was the notation: "archaic: 18th century America. All male citizens, 18 to 45 years of age." "Not an organized military group, rather all citizens capable of serving in times of need."
I then looked up the word "regulated" and again found the same notation, "archaic: 18th century American. To demonstrate proficiency."
Translating 18th century legalese into 21st century common American, the Second Amendment would read: "A citizenry, proficient in the use of firearms, being necessary to the security of a free state, etc." Words have meanings and we need to understand what was meant when they were written.
Craig Vansant
Must be tough for true believers
Professor Jeffrey Bada repeats the oft-cited, but unsupported, claim "that CO2 increase is the major factor in global warming," by appealing to authority without establishing the exact association between CO2 and globally increasing temperatures ("Global warming redux," Feb. 3).
It must be tough for true believers to have to constantly beat down the deniers, infidels, skeptics and nonbelievers. Forty years ago, the same gurus predicted a coming ice age. That didn't pan out, so they built a new bandwagon, anthropogenic global warming; i.e., mankind's actions are directly warming the planet, catastrophically.
No one doubts that the globe has warmed less than a degree Celsius, for the past 100-plus years. Just like it has in the past. It was also cooling as recently as 1970 and, although CO2 has continued increasing at a constant rate the past 60 years, the temperature rise has inexplicability stopped the past 15 years, contrary to all the computer models believers rely upon.
The primary bone of contention between the believers and the so-called deniers is whether man-made CO2 is the main driver of climate change. Many scientists don't think so.
Guess who has a major stake in the CO2-drives-temperature theory? Prof. Bada and the resident "keep the government grants coming" Scripps Institution of Oceanography club.

Broughton dairy's production may be shrinking
February 15, 2013
A partial loss of dairy business with a national retailer may result in less milk production for Broughton Foods in Marietta....
Agreed on the spoilage -- We've always found Broughton milk to spoil quicker than other brands -- it makes no sense, but it's definitely true....always has been.

The closest Meijer store around here is in Lancaster??? I know for a fact you don't tell WalMart what you are doing, how much space you want, etc. You do what they tell you or your out. That happened several years ago with Rubbermaid and they did get back later.

Asknot,,, you must be the king of the idiots. I was just saying that it seems the milk expires before the date on the jug of Broughtons than the other brands I buy.

For those of you who believed it was Wal Mart that cut ties with Dean Foods, it was not.
It was Meijer's that decided to use their own dairy farms.

I would say Texas needs to look deep into the daily activity of the plant. Personal issues are there. Production manager and plant manger are on a mission other than what is best for the company. Replace them, and their way of doing things, and they will recover

Giant Eagle? The article clearly states it is a major national chain. Giant Eagle is a small regional chain with stores in western PA and central-eastern OH. There is only one chain big enough to shake down the giant dairy conglomerate Dean Foods.

I like my milk without rBST/rbgh. In my opinion milk coming from cows not treated with these hormones taste much richer and less bitter. One of the reasons I could never stand the taste of Broughtons (or anyone elses milk) until I started buying Giant Eagle branded milk. Ironically Giant Eagle branded milk is made in plants owned by Dean's Dairy.

"She makes noises now, she can feed herself now and as a mother, that's very rewarding."
(Paxton, Fl)--After undergoing several surgeries earlier this year,
4-year-old Katie Renfroe is making big strides.
She has a rare disfigurement disease called megalencephaly and was born with an extremely large head, tongue and cheeks.
In May, doctors performed another surgery on Katie to reduce her tongue, so she could speak. Her mother. Angie Renfroe, said her progress is encouraging.
"She makes noises now, she can feed herself now and as a mother, that's very rewarding," Renfroe said.
Katie used to weigh 48 pounds but the majority of that weight was in her head. Katie's mother said she's now starting to put weight on her small frame and hopes upcoming surgeries will only make her stronger.
"I believe the more she gets stronger, the more weight she gains, the
better she can control her body."
Katie's journey is far from over, she still needs seven more surgeries.
Her parents live on a $700 fixed income, they have 8 children and
have a hard time paying for trips to the doctor.
"We have to worry about gas, will our car even make it to her doctor in
South Florida? How long will we have to stay in a hotel? Can we afford
it?" I hate to ask for help but my husband is disabled. " She said.
Katie requires constant attention and hospital trips, I want to be here
for my daughter and all of my children but a job isn't really feasible
for my situation," she said.
If you would like to help Katie's family, an account has been set up at
regions bank in the name of Angie Renfroe for the benefit of Katie
Renfroe. Catholic charities is also working with the family.

Related Media: Hernia Repair
A groin hernia occurs when abdominal tissue or fat pokes out through the abdominal wall. There are 2 main types:
A hernia can trap a section of intestine, leading to blockage or problems with blood flow. This is called strangulation. It is a medical emergency and requires care right away.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The abdominal wall wraps around your middle from the bottom of your ribs to your pelvis. It helps to contain and support your abdominal organs and tissue. When this area is weakened, these internal tissues can press through can create the hernia. The weakness may be caused by a problem with the abdominal wall development before birth, injuries, or wear and tear of the muscles.
Inguinal hernias are more common in men and femoral hernias are more common in women.
Abdominal wall weakness is more common in older adults. Factors that increase your chance of abdominal wall weakness include:
Many times, there are no symptoms with groin hernia. In those who do have them, the symptoms may include:
More serious symptoms may need emergency care:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Imaging studies are only done if the diagnosis in not clear by physical exam.
Watchful waiting is an option for those with inguinal hernias who do not have symptoms. This means you and your doctor will monitor your hernia for growth or the appearance of more serious symptoms. Femoral hernias are at higher risk of strangulation. Watchful waiting is not advised, especially for women.
Femoral hernias and inguinal hernias that cause symptoms are repaired with surgery. The abdominal tissue will be pushed back in and the opening will be closed. Sometimes, a mesh material will be placed to help support the area.
The following strategies may help to prevent a groin hernia:

December 19, 2005
There are traffic backups once again along Interstate 20, all because of construction. So why are the lane closings coming on some of the busiest travel days of the year? News 12 is on your side with some answers.
The road closings affect both sides of Interstate 20 and pretty soon all traffic on this part of the interstate will be on one side.
The lane closures back up traffic nearly a mile, around the Washington Road exit. A sign posted nearby lets everyone know the right lane is closed, but some still wait until the last moment to move over, creating even more delays.
"There's absolutely no way from a construction standpoint that we can avoid closing lanes. If you're out traveling around you may want to seek alternate routes," said Gary Pulliam, GA Dept. of Transportation.
And while this brief backup causes some headaches, it's much better than this. Five years ago, heavy rains flooded this part of the interstate. People were forced to push their cars from the knee-deep water. Here, a semi-truck rescues one car from the rising waters. This construction will raise the interstate about fifteen feet to avoid future flooding. And that requires lane closing during this busy high-traffic holiday season.
"It's an 18-month project and there's a lot to do in this 18-month project and if we took this entire week off and didn't do anything, that would push everything back even further," Pulliam said.
The project will cost at least $11 million and be complete sometime in 2007.
The lane closings affect I-20 between Bobby Jones and Washington Road, but all lanes will be open during rush hours, 7-9 in the morning and 4-6 at night. And all lanes will be open this Friday because of holiday traffic.

ANABOLIC STATE™ utilizes the latest in muscle building technology, including the powerful, clinically tested anabolic catalyst "HICA" and the purest BCAAs on the market. These actives are precisely designed to work synergistically with your regular protein supplementation to sustain existing muscle and stimulate new growth for total anabolic dominance.* Ready to take your physique to a new level?
ANABOLIC STATE™ contains 10 grams of the purest muscular building blocks on the market, including micronized BCAAs, which absorb directly into your bloodstream and work to stimulate protein synthesis and regenerate muscle tissue immediately following consumption.* What really sets ANABOLIC STATE™apart though, is it's key ingredient, HICA. In clinical trials, this high-tech Leucine metabolite has been suggested to increase lean muscle gains in athletes by triple compared to a control group.* With HICA powering the core of this precision matrix, you have the potential for unreal muscle growth and definition.
Branched Chain Amino Acids are a critical component to any precision training strategy and ANABOLIC STATE™ spares no benefits in harnessing their power. L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Lysine, and other premium BCAAs function as potent anti-catabolic agents, reducing muscle tissue breakdown.* By preserving more of your existing muscle fibers, these clinically validated muscle catalysts allow you to train proactively towards huge gains in lean, defined muscle mass.
ANABOLIC STATE™ is precisely designed to accelerate muscle recovery time and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Our formula harnesses the power of ultra-micronized, pharmaceutical grade BCAAs, which exert an anti-catabolic effect on muscle tissues. It has been clinically suggested that the right combination of BCAAs will reduce the amount of muscle tissue breakdown during training. This reduction minimizes the release of myoglobin and elastase (muscle damage signallers) post-workout, which helps reduce muscle soreness and support a strong immune system.* Put this all together, and you support a decrease in recovery time, with absolutely no waiting.
With zero proprietary blends and 100% pure BCAAs, anabolic precursors, and amino acids, ANABOLIC STATE™ offers industry-leading recovery and muscle building potency. Our impressive, fully disclosed ingredient profile of 500mg HICA, 3000mg Leucine, 3000mg Glutamine, 1500mg Isoleucine, 1500mg Valine, and 500mg Lysine shows you – our customer – exactly what they are getting in their supplements. What's in your BCAAs?
There will be no more headaches trying to get the last few scoops from one of our 9 improved flavors of ANABOLIC STATE™. Our new bottles have more width and a larger mouth to fit all types of fist sizes.
Consume 1 serving of ANABOLIC STATE™ to hydrate and help promote muscle-building and reduce muscle soreness during or after an intense exercise session. Add 1 scoop (12.5 g) to 8-10 oz. of cold water and stir or shake for a few seconds. For best results combine with a nutrition and fitness program.
Alpha Hydroxyisocaprioc Acid or "HICA" is a biological pre-cursor to the BCAA L-Leucine. In one clinical study several professional athletes were divided into experimental and control groups. The control group was given a placebo while the experimental group was given 1.5g of HICA per day. After 1 month the experiemental group experienced triple the gains in lean mass compared to the control group.
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are essential amino acids that comprise over 30% of your body's skeletal muscle tissue, and are densely packed with critical biological factors that your body needs to function and build muscle.* When you train your body uses these BCAAs as critical muscle-building components. In fact, they are so critical that if you do not have enough free available BCAAs in your system, your body will end up consuming them from its next available source - your hard-earned muscles! What makes BCAAs even more amazing is that they are digested directly in your muscle tissues - they do not need to be broken down by your stomach because they are already refined to their purest form. This means that as soon as you consume a shaker of ANABOLIC STATE,™ it's various BCAAs and HICA will start going to work for your muscles. They perform various tasks including stimulating Growth Hormone (GH) production, preventing catabolism, and extending muscular endurance.
The primary benefit of a BCAA supplement like ANABOLIC STATE™ is how fast it works. Containing only the purest in micronized BCAAs, ANABOLIC STATE™ is scientifically designed for easy dissolution and rapid absorption - racing through your bloodstream and hungry tissues in minutes. By comparison, dietary protein takes hours to digest and can leave you feeling weighed down by a meal with no guarantee that your muscles are getting nourishment when they need them the most. ANABOLIC STATE™ aslo contains unique amino acids like the BCAAs L-isoleucine and L-valine - which your body cannot manufacture on its own, or the powerful muscle-building Leucine Metabolite, HICA. These critical elements help ensure that your body is primed to be in an anabolic state and remain that way longer - above and beyond the effects of basic protein supplementation.
No. Unused BCAAs will simply be converted into other amino acids if they are not used immediately upon absorption. If you consume BCAAs before, during, or after a workout session, your body immediately begins utilizing them to support protein synthesis.
You can use ANABOLIC STATE™ for pre-workout, intra-workout, and post-workout applications. As a pre or intra-workout supplement, ANABOLIC STATE™ works to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and initialize muscle building during your training session - definitely a good secret weapon to have during an especially tough workout.* ANABOLIC STATE™ is also beneficial as a post-workout treatment that helps to accelerates your recovery period following any intense physical activity, whether it is a first-of-the-season snowboarding session, or simply a harcore day at the gym. ANABOLIC STATE™ is a great introductory supplement if you are new to bodybuilding
OMB - oh my buddah! I recently received this amazing can of awesome! Little did I know it would unleash the beast inside of me! I had little expectations, boy I was wrong! The first time I tried fruit punch it tasted exactly like kool-aid, but it made my muscles grow, that goes the same for watermelon flavor. I would highly recommend this can of awesome aka amino acids to anyone who wants to become a super sayan! It has blown my expectations way out of the water and into the sky! I rate this product 20/10! Although, I can only rate it 10/10!
One of my favorite intra workout drinks. Loaded with aminos
This has been a great product for my needs. I was looking for a pre-workout and mid-workout powder that would enhance my workouts but didn't have caffeine. I tried this because of the high reviews it received, it's caffeine free, and doesn't have a lot of other additives/strange names I need to be worried about. I feel great every time I workout. I have increased the weight I can lift the same amount in the last 6 weeks as I was able to the previous 12-15 weeks. A good taste as well.
Tried Anabolic State (watermelon) for the first time today. I have to admit that as far as taste it was pretty good. There is an after taste but what supplement doesn't. I used it during my workout taking a sip or two between different exercises. If anything it made me want to push harder to get the most out the product. I still feel pumped as I write this review and I'm giving it a rating of 7 but like I said this was the first dose so I'll wait and see how things go. Impressed so far.
This product is the best intra workout amino acids product. 30 servings per bottle and It contains over 10.000 MG of HICA and BCAA & Glutamine and Lysine. And if you want to compare it with any other products you can compare it with (X tend-Amino X) and I'm sure you will find more benefits because of HICA. And more amino concentrated per one serving...
Have tried all 4 of the Anabolic State flavors and its quickly become my go to peri work BCAA supplement, and I depend on it heavily on both regular [and especially] low carb workout days. I also throw a scoop or two in my water bottle if I'm at work and know I won't have a chance to have food for awhile. The best way to word it is that it give me that 'little bit extra' non stimulant type energy. Favorite flavors are Watermelon, Blue Ras, Fruit Punch, and Orange in that order.

Pa. girl awake and responsive after lung transplant
In this May 30, 2013 file photo provided by the Murnaghan family, Sarah Murnaghan, left, lies in her hospital bed next to adopted sister Ella on the 100th day of her stay in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. (AP Photo/Murnaghan Family, File) by Jason Carroll and Chris Welch (CNN) — Sarah Murnaghan, the Philadelphia girl who underwent a lung transplant last week following a court battle, is out of a coma and responsive. The 10-year-old woke up Friday night, said Tracy Simon, a family spokeswoman. Although she remains on a ventilator and is unable to talk, she is nodding and shaking her head in response to questions, Simon said. Prior to her surgery, Sarah, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, was put in a medically induced coma to allow her body needed rest prior to the transplant surgery.

WAYNESBORO — Some Waynesboro Area Senior High School students can be seen smoking cigarettes outside of school property each morning, even though most of them aren't old enough to legally purchase nicotine products.
Councilman Wayne Driscoll challenged Police Chief James Sourbier IV to find a "creative resolution to this vexing dilemma," Sourbier said at Wednesday's borough council meeting.
Sourbier said he would look into the situation. However, he asked council to exercise its right as local government to create a provision that prohibits students from congregating within 100 feet of school property.
He also suggested banning parking along Virginia and Enterprise avenues during school hours to help curb the habit.
"I appreciate the concern, and I want to be doing something to resolve it, but I will not exercise extra legal force to do so," Sourbier said, adding he needs some teeth from council to help eliminate the problem.
The students currently are not in violation of any borough ordinance — or state law — that the police department can enforce. While people younger than 18 cannot buy nicotine products the law does not prohibit them from smoking.
Driscoll said the groups of students smoking make the habit look glamorous to younger children who ride past on their way to school.
Councilman Craig Newcomer asked if the board or the borough solicitor could see what other municipalities like Chambersburg to do.
"We're entering into a new year," Driscoll said. "Maybe this is the year we can change one not-so-nice Waynesboro tradition."
No action was taken, and the matter will be discussed at a later meeting.

Lamps and Lamp Shades
Lamps Overview
Lamps are one of the most versatile and dynamic forms of home lighting. Lamps can be used on their own as accent pieces or can showcase a cherished piece of art. Thanks to their portability, there's virtually no shortage to what lamps can illuminate.
Table Lamps:
"Table lamp" is an all-inclusive term and it's just what it sounds like: you can place one virtually anywhere. If you're placing a lamp on a table in a high-traffic room, make sure its lampshade emits enough light both up and down.
A desk lamp is designed to focus more light downward and in a wider swath, highlighting what you have across your desk. And a reading lamp is task-oriented, specifically lighting what's in front of you.
Buffet lamps are typically slightly taller than desk lamps. With that said, you can still place a buffet lamp wherever you want—on a table or desk or on the floor in a corner or against a wall.
The versatility of lamps has led to specialty lamps. The Tiffany lamp is characterized by the distinct stained-glass work on the lamp's shade, and combines the styling of an antique lamp with the technology of a modern fixture. Meyda Tiffany, Quoizel, Lite Source, and Kichler are leaders in this type of lamp design.
A piano lamp is typically quite small and features a narrow base and wide light source. It can sit either on the base itself or can attach itself via clamp to a piano's sheet music stand.
And, of course, there are lamps for the brightest lights in our lives: our children. Kids lamps are fun, colorful, whimsical, and still pump out a great amount of light. From dinosaurs and sports to flowers and princesses, there's a lamp out there for your child.
Floor Lamps:
The floor lamp is the tallest member of the lamp family and is designed to give a living space more light where it needs it. Many floor lamps allow you to adjust the direction of the light, and the amount of light emitted is pretty evenly distributed between top and bottom for a nice, uniform look.
A specific type of floor lamp designed to direct light upward is a torchiere lamp. Also referred to as a torch lamp, it provides optimal light and could possibly act as a room's main light source—depending, of course, on the room's size and configuration.
Lamp Shades:
If you have an existing lamp that you'd like to rejuvenate instead of replace, consider giving it a new lampshade. A new lampshade can change up the look and feel of the entire lamp with a huge range of materials, colors, and designs.

While you were busy mourning Neil Armstrong, Fox News analyst Monica Crowley was looking for a way to politicize his death.
She found it in one of the far right's most insidious tropes — Islamophobia.
No. No, he did not.
Crowley's follow-up explanation only underlined her idiocy.
As The Daily Dolt points out, the article Crowley cites is hardly damaging to the Obama administration.
In an interview last month on Al-Jazeera, NASA chief Charlie Bolden said that one of NASA's foremost tasks is to engage with Muslim nations. The White House disagreed, suggesting that the agency should perhaps focus on space exploration.
Let's recap: use an American hero's death to espouse a lie, justify said lie with "evidence" that directly contradicts it. Great work, Monica Crowley.
Surely she's seen the error of her ways, right? Here's her apology post—
Do you mean astronaut ice cream, Monica? Like the kind NASA is going to serve the Muslims while they talk them into destroying our American way of life?
Earth, our number of intelligent life forms is dwindling.
