The Stroller: Dig some wells

Gerald Suttles of Cowpens says Spartanburg City Council has got to be the most entertaining group of people on Earth. "One council member and his son were undoubtedly trying to be chosen for WrestleMania after their bout at Club Rome, while another promised to march on City Hall's steps after a very wise decision was made to close the T.K. Gregg Community Center. Now it's about time for city citizens to budget digging themselves some wells before their water is shut off," says Mr. Suttles. "Seems the best thing going on downtown are the special events that revolve around a beer truck."
'DO I GO ON?': The Stroller reader who asked why Southerners have a love of guns and war and refuse federal money for education struck more than a few nerves, including that of J. Neal Boyett of Spartanburg. "Mr. Cooper, I am a conservative Christ follower and a Republican. Understand that all Christians are not the same," Mr. Boyett begins his response. "Most don't represent God's name well. It is a shame you can't meet more who do. All Republicans are not the same. I can understand that you would group us all together. Conservative Republicans want limited government, economic freedom and the rights granted by our Constitution to not be trampled on. It's not that we love guns or war, but we want the right to protect ourselves against tyranny. We are not opposed to funding. It's just that more funding has not improved our education system or anything else we throw money at. We just grow government. We spend more now than ever. We want spending that makes sense. It's not that we are opposed to immigration, we just want it to be done in a sensible, moral manner. God does not promote anything. He is everything. You have to know him to understand that. We don't hate Democrats. If we hate, it's our freedoms being taken away by elitists, it's our beliefs being distorted, it's our country being economically destroyed, it's 55 million babies murdered, and it's people not taking personal responsibility for anything anymore. Do I go on?"
THANKS, FLOUNDER: Michaele Ulmet and Girl Scouts are singing the praises of Ken Toney at The Flounder Fish Camp. "As Girl Scout cookie sales are winding down, we would like to send a huge thank you to Mr. Toney for allowing us to peddle our cookies there," she says. "Not only did you help my daughter and our troop make our goal, but your staff was so warm and receptive. The customers were such a pleasure and a joy to visit with, and the food, as always, was delicious. We couldn't have asked for a better experience."
ODDS AND ENDS: The Spartanburg Clemson Club is hosting The Prowl and Growl Coaches Tour on April 16 in Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. The doors will open at 5 p.m. for social time, and a buffet dinner will be served starting at 6 p.m. Clemson fans will have the opportunity to meet Coach Dabo Swinney, get autographs and learn more about the upcoming season. The cost is $20 for adults; $5 for children. The ticket reservation deadline is Thursday, and tickets are available at First Citizens Bank locations at 11280 Asheville Highway in Inman and at 450 E. Henry St. and 2895 Reidville Road in Spartanburg. Tickets also are available at the law offices of Moore Stoddard Stoddard at 207 Magnolia St. in Spartanburg.

Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: POMEROY, CLAIRE
Project Title: BUILDING INTERDISCIPLINARY CAREERS/WOMEN'S HEALTH/UC DAVIS
Abstract: The overarching objective of the University of California Davis (UC Davis) "Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health" (BIRCWH) Program is to provide junior faculty with state-of-the-art multidisciplinary training that will ensure their establishment of independent biomedical research careers in areas relevant to women's health. A second objective of this program is to create an environment that nurtures non-traditional cross-disciplinary collaborations in focused and interactive research areas essential to improving the health of women. The UC Davis BIRCWH Program will focus on four interacting areas: (1) neuroscience and neurodegenerative diseases and their disproportionate impact on females, (2) metabolic and nutrition-related syndromes and their repercussions on women, (3) cardiovascular science and its relationship to gender, and (4) lifespan biology and transitions, such as early development, adolescence, and menopause, that bring unique risks to females. We have chosen these areas because a greater understanding of them will greatly improve women's health, and UC Davis has a large core of highly successful senior faculty in these focused areas. There is much overlap in the underlying processes addressed in these focus areas; therefore, Scholars will gain in depth broad cross disciplinary training and, upon completion of the BIRCWH Program, will be uniquely positioned to attack critical questions in women's health research. We will support research career development through a four-pronged research and training experience. Key components include: (1) mentored research experience; (2) core curriculum, (3) additional didactic curriculum, and (4) additional focused activities, which will broaden the experience of IWHR Scholars and emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary women's health research, including Women's Health Grand Rounds, journal clubs, an annual symposium and the Women in Medicine and Life Sciences Seminar Series. Together, Scholars will receive a balanced experience of basic, translational, and clinical experiences to help them develop fundable research programs. The mentoring program will deepen the research experience of promisingjunior faculty and provide opportunities to initiate non-traditional cross- disciplinary collaborations among the laboratories of the IWHR Scholars and the mentors. This combination will optimize the chances that Scholars will develop fundable research programs to better women's health.

Thanksgiving Day Recipe by Rebecca
Delicious Baked Turkey
One un-stuffed Turkey
2 large bottles of kraft zesty Italion salad dressing
Method of Preparation:
- Place turkey in roasting pan, pour salad dressing over the bird. Cover with foil and bake 12 - 14 hours at 180 - 200 degrees.
- Uncover and turn heat up to 35 - 375 degrees and bake for an additional 1/2 hour or so, until golden brown.
- Basting is optional, but not necessary. The bird will literally fall off the bone when you try to remove it from the pan, and literally melt in your mouth. Left overs make awesome sandwiches, enchiladas soups and spreads.
- Do not stuff the turkey, and cut a small portion off the bird (before using dressing), or save giblets for gravy and or stuffing.
Italion salad dressing does not make a good gravy or stuffing. If stuffing is desired just bake it in a separate dish. By the way, left over turkey is never a problem in our house since starting this .... guests usually take a giant plate home with them.
Thanksgiving Day Recipe by Ralph Barnhart
Homemade Stuffing
Recipe comes from Jan's Dough
Your favorite boxed stuffing mix
Sweet Potato
Cloves (either freshly ground or powder)
Salt and Pepper
Measuring cup
Large sauce pan
Strainer (fine mesh or colander)
Large mixing bowl
Small mixing bowl
Potato masher
Method of Preparation:
1. Pour dry stuffing mix into large mixing bowl. If a seasoning pouch comes with the mix, set aside.
2. Check the directions that are given on the box of stuffing and check for the amount of water you need to add to the mix. Measure this amount of water and pour into saucepan.
Note: If you are using two boxes of mix, then double the amount of water. If you are using three boxes, then triple the amount, and so on.
3. Wash celery. Estimate 1 whole stalk (including leaves) per box of mix. Chop celery and mince the leaves. Add to water.
4. Depending on your own tastes, mince one or more slices of onion. Add to water.
5. Wash sweet potato. Estimate 1 small sweet potato per box of mix. Cut into small pieces (cut in half, cut the halves in half, and then cut those pieces in half, until you have pieces the size of a walnut). Add to water.
6. Add contents of seasoning pouch (if you have one).
7. Add a pinch of cloves. This is a very strong spice, so it is better to add too little at first than to add too much.
8. Bring water to boil. Continue to boil (or par boil if the mixture is starting to cook over the top of the pan) until the sweet potato is completely cooked (you can put a fork in a piece of sweet potato and the potato is very soft)
9. Using a strainer, measure only the amount of water needed per the box mix instructions. Set aside.
10. Put contents of strainer into a small mixing bowl. Using a potato masher, mash until sweet potato is completely mashed and well mixed with the celery and onion. Add to dry stuffing mix. Blend.
11. Add water to stuffing mixture. Stir well until all of the stuffing mix is thoroughly moistened. Add salt and pepper to taste.
12. If the stuffing mixture doesn't seem moist enough, you can add a few tablespoons of gravy - until the stuffing is as moist as you prefer.
Tip: Make the stuffing a day ahead of time and let all the flavors of the sweet potato, celery, onion, and clove really set in.
13. Heat stuffing in the oven or in the microwave, however you prefer.
Perfect Mashed Potatoes
Recipe comes from Simply Recipes by Elise
1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered length-wise
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 Tbsp heavy cream
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp milk
Salt and Pepper
Potato Masher
Method of Preparation:
1. Put potatoes into a saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add water until potatoes are covered. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, 15-20 minutes, or until done - a fork can easily be poked through them.
2. Warm cream and melt butter, together, either in microwave or in a pan on the stove. Drain water from potatoes. Put hot potatoes into a bowl. Add cream and melted butter. Use potato masher to mash potatoes until well mashed. Use a strong spoon to beat further, adding milk to achieve the consistency you desire. (Do not over-beat or your potatoes will get gluey.) Salt and pepper to taste.

LOS ANGELES -- The Clippers moved on from months of ugliness Tuesday, with Steve Ballmer officially becoming the team's new owner in a record $2 billion sale that ousted Donald Sterling as the NBA's longest-tenured owner.
Sterling bought the team in 1981 for $12 million and presided over decades of losing seasons before engaging in a fierce legal battle with his estranged wife to hold on to his most prized asset.
The team said the sale closed after a Los Angeles court confirmed the authority of Shelly Sterling, on behalf of the Sterling Family Trust, to sell the franchise to the former Microsoft CEO.
"I hate losing the team," she said at a news conference.
She later added, "It feels good. It would have felt good to own the team, too."
The NBA Board of Governors had previously approved the sale.
"Really excited -- in a pretty hardcore way -- to continue the path to making the Clippers a better and better basketball team, and a better and better citizen of the Los Angeles community," Ballmer told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
The bizarre drama began in April when a recording surfaced of Donald Sterling scolding his girlfriend for bringing black men to Clippers games. The audio spurred the NBA to ban Sterling for life and fine him $2.5 million.
Sterling was apologetic after the audio recording went viral, but his mea culpa backfired when he criticized Lakers great Magic Johnson, who had been photographed with Sterling's girlfriend, as a bad role model for kids because he had HIV. The 80-year-old real estate mogul was roundly condemned from locker rooms to the Oval Office, where President Barack Obama called Sterling's remarks "incredibly offensive racist statements."
With the NBA threatening to seize the team and auction it, Sterling initially gave his wife of 58 years permission to negotiate a sale but then refused to sign the Ballmer deal. He said he would sue the league instead and then revoked the trust, which his lawyers said effectively killed the deal.
Shelly Sterling removed Donald as a trustee after doctors found he had symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
Adam Streisand, Ballmer's attorney, said Tuesday that Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas signed the order authorizing the sale even if Donald Sterling's attorneys filed an appeal.
Hours after the announcement, Donald Sterling petitioned an appeals court to overturn the move. "An immediate stay from this court, and an order halting or unwinding the sale, is necessary," the filing said, "to allow meaningful review of the novel and erroneous legal determinations made here, and to restore public faith in our justice system."
Pierce O'Donnell, Shelly Sterling's attorney, said at the news conference that Donald Sterling had filed a petition opposing the sale.
"They're alleging the judge made errors," Shelly Sterling's attorney Pierce O'Donnell said. "We're confident the court of appeals will not take the case."
The Los Angeles Times contributed to this report.

The demolition of American Municipal Power's Richard H. Gorsuch Generating Station has been catching the eye of those driving on Ohio 7 south of Marietta, as the work has moved into a new phase.
The plant is located between Marietta and Belpre next to Eramet-Marietta.
AMP closed the facility after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Justice Department filed a suit in April of 2009 for violating the Clean Air Act.

ART SMITH The Marietta Times
The demolition of American Municipal Power's Richard H. Gorsuch Generating Station located on Ohio 7 is under way and is being contracted by Brandenburg Industrial Services
As part of a settlement agreement the facility was required to be closed by the end of 2012 but the final day of operation was Dec. 15, 2010. According to a release by AMP in 2010 the plant was shut down early to avoid future investments into the plant that would not be economically sound given the facility's expected life.
The contract for the demolition is with Brandenburg Industrial Services, said Kent Carson, the senior director of Media Relations at AMP.
"The actual demolition of the main building at the site started sometime last year," Carson said. "As of now we are progressing as planned and anticipate it being wrapped up by the end of the year."

Facility was built in 1951 as part of the Union Carbide complex.
AMP acquired partial ownership of the facility in 1988.
The U.S. EPA filed suit against AMP in April of 2009 for violating pollution standards set by the U.S. Clean Air Act.
Dec. 15, 2010 was the last day of operation in the facility.
The demolition of the facility began in 2012.
The demolition is expected to be completed by the beginning of 2014.

Element 1 - Cause of death
The first element is that the defendant caused the death of <insert name of decedent>. This means that the defendant's conduct was the proximate cause of the decedent's death.

'Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars': Who Was Voted Off?
So much for a Season 8 finals rematch.
Gilles Marini was pegged by many as the winner going into the all-star season, especially because he lost to Shawn Johnson by less than 1% in the spring of 2009. Many thought he should have won the Mirror Ball then. But magic didn't strike twice, and he and partner Peta Murgatroyd were one of the two eliminated couples on Tuesday's "Dancing with the Stars."
I think I speak for many when I say I really looked forward to seeing Gilles in an all-star season, but the second taste of him wasn't nearly as tantalizing as the first. Gilles didn't have the chemistry with new partner Peta that he did with original pro Cheryl Burke, his cumulative standing slipped in recent weeks, and he started to sound as desperate and neurotic as Week 6 eliminee Sabrina Bryan often did. He became haunted with a need for perfection and forgot to enjoy himself.
The other couple standing at the bottom of the stage at 8:57 p.m. EST looked as if they were certain they would be the ones ousted. Apolo Anton Ohno was grim, and Karina Smirnoff was crying. But Apolo and Karina lived on to dance in the semifinals.
Meanwhile, the earlier departure of Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy surprised no one. They had been near or at the bottom of the leaderboard since the first week, with the next couple 12 ½ points ahead of them after Monday night. Kirstie lacked the stamina of her fellow all-stars and the ability or sophistication to handle tougher choreography. Whether it was her decision or one by the producers, Kirstie seemed to be here primarily to entertain rather than to develop and legitimately compete. She had a classy, happy sendoff, thanking the judges for their critiques.
Yet again, "DWTS" threw a challenge at the all-stars: They had to choose a dance style and theme for their competition from a list. We have some bizarre combinations to look forward to next week, such as …
- "Caveman" hustle by Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani (selected by Kelly Monaco and Valentin Chmerkovskiy)
- "Knight Rider" bhangra by Shawn and Derek Hough (selected by Emmitt Smith and Cheryl). Said host Tom Bergeron to a puzzled-looking Derek, "It's an Indian folk dance, Mr. Choreographer."
- "Big Top" jazz by Apolo and Karina (selected by Gilles and Peta)
- "Espionage" lindy hop by Emmitt and Cheryl (selected by Shawn and Derek)
- "Surfer" flamenco by Kelly and Val
As for the musical numbers, flashing lights rather than "DWTS" pros accompanied NeYo for his latest hit, "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)." Earlier, Kylie Minogue opened the show by revisiting her first hit, the remake of "The Loco-Motion." Tristan MacManus, Kym Johnson and the Troupe didn't appear to be doing much of the Loco-Motion with Kylie or with anyone else. Kylie seemed to have left her pants in 1987.
Going farther back in time, the Macy's Stars of Dance took us to the newspaper strike of 1899 with "Seize the Day" from the musical "Newsies." It may be a number that plays better on the Broadway stage; in the ballroom, it was hard to ignore the prerecorded track.
Anna Trebunskaya and Val joined two principal dancers from the New York City Ballet, Tiler Peck and Robert Fairchild, for a beautiful, sunset-colored piece set to "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. Tom said the judges looked more serene than they had all season. It's always a treat to see some NYCB dancers on "DWTS," and it's such a shame the number was so short.
Quote of the night, from Troupe member Sasha: "We were so in sync we were Backstreet Boys."
Next week, the semifinals – and a trip in the wayback machine to the 1980s. Not only do we have the previously teased Michael Jackson "Bad" round, but guest judge Paula Abdul will come back to the ballroom to sing and dance. "American Idol" watchers, did Paula ever perform during her many seasons as a judge on that show?
What did you think of Tuesday's eliminations? Any speculation on what a "Knight Rider" bhangra is? And who should win this whole all-star shebang?

FILE - In this April 21, 2010 file image provided by the U.S. Coast Guard, fire boat response crews battle the blazing remnants of the off shore oil rig Deepwater Horizon. British oil company BP said Thursday Nov. 15, 2012 it is in advanced talks with U.S. agencies about settling criminal and other claims from the Gulf of Mexico well blowout two years ago. In a statement, BP said "no final agreement has yet been reached" and that any such deal would still be subject to court approvals. (AP Photo/US Coast Guard, File)
A federal judge has given final approval to BP's settlement with businesses and individuals who lost money because of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
BP PLC estimates it will pay $7.8 billion to cover economic and medical claims from more than 100,000 businesses and individuals.
U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier approved the settlement in a 125-page ruling Friday.
He wrote that the settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate -- and no objection has proved otherwise.
Barbier has not ruled on the medical settlement for cleanup workers and others who say exposure to oil or dispersants made them sick -- just on economic and property damage settlements.
The settlement covers people and businesses in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and some coastal counties in eastern Texas and western Florida.

Odie and Btchn were working on the tree down between #9b and 9A pads, sounded like it was on its way to getting cleaned up when I left.
No work for me today, needed a day away.
Doug did a good job on 17 , need to pick everything up now.
Tim and I trimmed up some of the hangers on the front and pulled a couple down.
After we were done playing we cut paths on #18, with the help of Btchn, so its easier to walk to #10 and our campsites.

Research Summary
We are interested in studying the biology of the human immune system and how it interacts with growing tumors in patients. We are particularly interested in understanding the tumor and host related factors underlying the transformation of preneoplastic monoclonal gammopathy to its malignant counterpart, multiple myeloma (MM). We are also studying the biology of how human dendritic cells regulate immune responses to different types of antigens. Our goal is to learn to harness the properties of the immune system to detect, prevent and treat cancer, with a particular focus on multiple myeloma.

There has been an arctic freeze over Ireland for the past week. But despite all the snow, nothing chilled the blood here last week as much as the details of the 85 billion euro bailout that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the EU is giving to the Irish government.
The document containing the full details was published last Wednesday, and reading the conditions that are attached to all that money was a humbling experience.
The government had been telling us that accepting the money from the IMF would not take financial control away from the country and would not diminish our economic sovereignty. Such talk was scare-mongering, they said.
Well, all I can say to that is have a look at the document yourself and see what you think. Don't just read the summaries and analysis in the papers.
For the full flavor of just how demeaning this document is for Ireland you have to read the details for yourself. It's not that easy to find on the Internet, but it's worth the effort if you want to see at first hand who is really in control of Ireland these days.
To find the document go on to the RTE website (www.rte.ie/news) and put details of IMF agreement for Ireland into the search box. Click on the first item in the menu that comes up: quarterly reviews part of EU/IMF Rescue Deal. A couple of paragraphs into that text you will see a highlighted line which says click here to read the full document.
And when you click on that, up it comes, the full document in all its humiliating detail. This is the driving force behind this week's draconian budget in Ireland, the most severe in our history.
This is the reality behind all the waffle about how the EU and the IMF are giving us the money, agreeing the headline targets for the state's finances with us, and then leaving us to work out and implement the details of how the targets are to be reached.
The reality is that the document sets out in exhaustive detail an economic plan with a strict timetable which will force us to reach the agreed targets in reduced spending and extra taxation within the agreed timescale. Failure to stick to the plan will mean the €85 billion money stream will instantly dry up.
The document also sets up an agreed monitoring system which will allow the EU and the IMF to check on exactly how we are keeping up with the plan, so that corrective action can be taken if we start to fall behind.
The reality is that the document treats us like a nation of untrustworthy incompetents who can't be relied on to tell the truth or to stick to a plan. The level of monitoring that we had to agree to is shocking.
It doesn't get down to counting paper clips, but it's not far off. To get an idea of this, scroll down to the bottom of the document, to the part called annex 1: provision of data. This gives a list of the information that has to be given by the Irish authorities to the EU, IMF and ECB (European Central Bank) on a regular basis.
Every week, for example, the government has to tell the IMF, the EU and ECB how much tax it is taking in and how much it is spending. That's every WEEK, not every month, or every three months.
It's the detailed way this is set out in the document that is really humiliating. For example, the Department of Finance has to give "information on the main government spending and receipt items -- weekly, on Friday, reporting on the previous Thursday."
The precise nature of this wording is almost contemptuous. Certainly it leaves no room for back sliding. Particularly spending over-runs.
And that's just one example. The document has a very long list of agreed changes that are to be made in the finances of the Irish state and in the Irish banks and the reporting time to the IMF and the EU on each change is set down.
The banks, for example, have to give a WEEKLY report on loans they are giving out. They have to give detailed information on deposits every month, including how long deposits are for, whether they're from individuals, companies or other banks. The banks have to give monthly data on how much debt they have falling due over the following €36 months.
On the state payroll, for example, the document states that the numbers and paychecks of all state workers have to be reported to the EU and the IMF every three months.
All these state sector workers will have to meet savings targets within nine months or their pay will be cut to make the savings required.
The document also includes details of extra taxes, like property taxes and water charges, that are to be introduced. Apart from the €6 billion reduction of the budget deficit in 2011 which was delivered in this week's draconian budget, the document says reductions of €3.6 billion in 2012 and €3.1 billion in 2013 are also a condition of the bailout deal.

The Economist: Why America's police are becoming so militarized
Peter Kraska, a professor at Eastern Kentucky University's School of Justice Studies, estimates that SWAT teams were deployed about 3,000 times in 1980 but are now used around 50,000 times a year. Some cities use them for routine patrols in high-crime areas.

The outbreak of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) in several Asian countries has MSU's Office of Study Abroad programs warning students that plans to study there could change. However, there are two MSU students studying this semester in Singapore and Hong Kong.
MSU's Office of Study Abroad Programs has been in contact with the students in high-risk countries, giving them the option to come home. But even if they wanted to, some key issues had to be addressed first.
"At this point, we're telling them to sit tight because new information is constantly coming out everyday, and it's hard to make a decision," said Kathleen Fairfax, MSU Study Abroad.
As that information is being delivered, staffers in local emergency rooms admit it's difficult to diagnose SARS since there's currently no diagnosing test, but they have a plan in place, should they suspect a case of SARS.
"We have a small quarantine room, and healthcare workers will be wearing protective gear, particularly a mask to act as a filter, which should keep the virus from spreading," said Dr. Earl Reisdorff, M.D. Ingham Regional Medical Center.
Sparrow Hospital has a similar plan of attack. Health experts there say those with a fever, dry cough, and body aches should also look at other factors before going to the emergency room.
"If they have those symptoms and they've been to mainland China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Toronto, Canada recently, they should see their healthcare provider," said Robin Roach, Sparrow Hospital.
No matter who's affected by the virus, mid-Michigan health experts agree it's important to keep the public informed to keep the virus from spreading.

The widest variety of birds at the zoo live indoors at the Bird House where a series of smaller exhibits encircle a large indoor jungle complete with free-flying tropical birds.
Dates and times subject to change. Check for the latest schedule.
Bird House Resource Center
Check out feathers, bones, and more in our fascinating Bird House Resource Center.
Flight Exhibit Enrichment
Time: Tue, Thu, Sat, and Sun at 11 a.m.
Place: Bird House Indoor Flight Exhibit
Black-crowned Night Heron Feeding
Time: Daily from May 15 to August 1 at 2 p.m.
Place: Outside the Bird House
Many fascinating and large bird species like the kori bustard, crane, cassowary, and flamingo live outdoors in habitats wrapping around the Bird House building.
The wetlands, which connects the Bird House with Asia Trail, contains a boardwalk traversing a series of ponds and wildlife-friendly plantings. Although no captive birds inhabit this area, it is a nice place to birdwatch. Colorful mallards and wood ducks often swim on the ponds and black-crowned night herons can often be seen stalking the shallows; they nest in the trees adjacent to the flamingo pool.
The large flight cage allows birds to freely fly. A trail beginning by the Bird House overlooks a pond surrounded by rocks and then winds uphill through shrubs and small trees.
The cormorant, peacock, and wood duck are here year-round but some of the other birds move indoors from November 1 to April 30.
The Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, located in Front Royal, Virginia, started primarily as a breeding center for endangered birds and mammals. Today, several species of birds, such as white-naped cranes and Micronesian kingfishers, are being bred to maintain genetic diversity and provide reserves for highly endangered species.
Several species of birds live in the Amazonia Exhibit, a large indoor enclosure featuring animals from the world's largest river basin.

I am new to this blog and to running. I have been running a little over a year now and last weekend I completed the Renegade 5K run in 28:30, which was a new PR for me and 1st in my age division. I have completed a total of 22 races this year including 5K/10K/11K, 4 mile races and the Dirty 6 Terrain Mud Run during this year. Below are the upcoming races I am registered for. I am targeting a 1/2 marathon in 2013. I will be registering for races for New Year's Eve/Day also.
5K Tempe AZ Run from the Cops
15K Hot Chocolate Run Phoenix
12K's of Christmas - Gilbert AZ
urun - interesting article. I guess it puts me near the danger point. And causality hasn't been shown, just a link. We also don't know if there is mortality compression happening (quality of life is increased with rapid decline just before death). I prefer mortality compression and all indications are that exercise helps achieve that.
AZ - good luck getting the training runs in. Weather is mostly a psychological barrier. I try to take it as a challenge, but here in the Bay Area it's pretty mild...
Marie, good to hear the training is back on track. Keep it up!
Debra, Awsome! Congrats! On to more PRs!
Dan, This site is pretty flakey. What browser to you use? Hope it isn't IE. These days I'd use chrome or firefox - even on a Mac.
Bill, You're back! Good to hear from you. Where would we be w/o sibling rivalry? I have a way to go to catch my brother...and now it looks like I shouldn't. What do the know anyway...
WDRich, Nice run. My wife and I flip it - she does the 1/2s and I do the 5/10Ks (and occasionally a 1/2). My son splits his time running with us.
Captjer, To start a thread you need to get into a discussion group (can't be done from within a thread). At the top of the page should be a link to "Up to Threads in Newbie Cafe (New Runners)" - if you click on that, on the right, under "Actions", will be "Start a Thread". Click it to begin a new thread.
Wife, Son and I did a "Turkey Trot" last Thursday. Son did 5K, I did the 10K and wife did the 1/2. It was a clear crisp beautiful day with temps around 45F at the start. There were lots of races in the area, but this one had one of the few 1/2s and was run at Hellyer Park in south San Jose. Course is fairly flat and was an out and back for all three distances. The races were relatively small, ~40 in the 5K, ~30 in the 10K and ~75 in the 1/2. Son finished 4th overall, I got 5th and wife finished 1st in her AG. Figured I would finish 2nd in my AG (50-59), but the gentleman who finished 3rd turned out to be 60.
Time wasn't as fast as last 10K, but respectable 47:16 (would have been closer to 47, but were discussing things way in the back when the race started).
Bad news is I appear to have injured a tendon in my front left leg (big tendon going down the front of the foot, right where it attaches to the shin, about 3 inches above the foot). Good news is no sign of a stress fracture. No running until at least Friday.
Run strong!
Thank you for your help Ray. Obviously I've never blogged. I figured it was time to get into a group to maybe pick up some pointers to aid in my progress, or lack of I should say.
Ray-Congrats to you and your wife and son in the recent races. Pretty neat to run with family members.
Urun- Interesting article. I think a lot of things we do fall into that risk/reward catagory and running is certainly one of them. The article fails to acknowledge the positive health benefits one derives from higher level exercise. In my case asthma, severe nasal allergies, and constant sinus headaches have been greatly reduced. I train at between 7:30-7:45 per mile so I definately fit the group they are keying in on and I will certainly admit to being overly competitive.
Captjer-Glad you have joined the thread.
Hi Ray. It's great when the family can participate together! In May, my wife, daughter, and hopefully our 10yo granddaughter will all be doing a 5k together. Next September, I plan on running the Disneyland HM with our daughter.

az2mn, the Bay of Fundy Marathon is up on the Canadian border; it starts in the little town of Lubec in Maine and crosses the border onto Campobello Island, New Brunswick! I'm really looking forward to it because Ive never been to New England before. In fact just a few nights ago I dreamt I was running this race, except it kept going through all these unusual places like the middle of a haunted house. And then I got to meet the Queen!
Nadine, you must really like to race! Which one(s) do you have in your sites for New Year's Eve/Day? I was kind of eyeing the one in Papago Park, depending how late I'm out the night before.
I just got discharged from PT for a two-week trial - if I start going back downhill, I can pick back up again w/o having to revisit my doctor. Physically I'm feeling not perfect but worlds better than I was in August when I missed a day of work because my back wouldn't support me upright! Still some soreness in my QLs & glutes, but I'm feeling much looser. Meanwhile, my coach has decided it's time to work on my form again. Tuck your tailbone under! Make an "L" with your arms! Try to strike mid-foot! Lift your legs like you're running through tall grass! Relax!
Fiesta Bowl HM coming up this weekend - the original plan was to try and break the 2-hour mark but that's looking a bit doubtful at the moment. I think I'll settle for not killing myself on this one!
Smooth trails and following winds everyone,
6/3/12 Maraton Rapa Nui 5:00:49 (PR)
10/16/11 Istanbul Eurasia Marathon 5:10:25
Welcome Nadine!!
I "commute" between northern MN and northern AZ so I may 'run' into you at some races during the 'winter' in PHX.
More of a trail runner, I enjoy running in the desert mts of PHX during the 'winter' cooler months only.
I hope to run in the Women's 10 miler event in Fountain Hills, Dec. 16th.
I was hoping for a HM but don't feel ready until possibly the end of the year.
I hope to hear more about your races.
Trail runner
HI Nan:
Will keep that in mind, I have yet to visit New England as well.
Trail runner
Ray- I use Firefox; the problem seemed to happen when I had to change my password. All better now. Hope your leg is healing OK.
Nan- Wow, when you dream you really dream big! The Queen. Excellent.
AZ- looking at your 2012 that is an incredible schedule and amazing times considering all the traveling you've had to do, plus your move. Great job!
Mostly just sloooooow stuf on TM this week, then was able to get outside on a cloudy 45 degree day today. Nice 5.2 miler, felt so good to be on the road and not on the TM.
Run strong and safe friends.

I didn't post the WSJ article link to discourage distance running for us in the over 50 crowd. I just thought it gave me something to think about as I plan my running calendar and my effort level. If I can get good health benefits in the 20-25 mile per week range, I'm happy with it. Quality of miles just like quality of life is the name of the game.
I had a nice run through parts of London today. I got out early so the streets were nearly empty. I had a stranger give me a high five for being an early morning jogger which was kind of funny! The morning was cool (32) but the sky was a beautiful blue. I don't know the city well but had mapped out a course in my mind the night before. Well, I missed the first turn and continued gingerly for the next mile or so until I was comfortable that I knew where I was and could make my way back to the hotel.
I passed through the theatre district, saw Les Miserable, Singing in the Rain, and Mama Mia (so to speak). I passed through Picadilly Circus and on to St. James Park. The Royals were not on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, but I waved to them as I ran by. There were a few other runners out and about but the area was very quiet. I started my return trip, passing Trafalgar Square and up through Covent Garden. It was a nice quiet four miles. Later in the day my husband and I returned to St. James Park. The streets were packed with people!! Where had they all been at 8:00? I guess now I understand why I got a high five!
I'm learning to love to run in 32 degree weather. I'm even rethinking retirement locations ;-)
Have a good week all.
Before you take the WSJ article too seriously, read this.
One of the original studies says that "... [the benefits of endurance training] accrue in a dose-dependent fashion up to about an hour per day ... beyond which more endurance training does not yield further benefits." Which does not mean that the benefits are lost.
And one study author said "By 120 min [per day], the hazard ratio for all-cause mortality was around 0·55 [which is better than it was for 60 min per day], with even better hazard ratios for cardiovascular diseases... The adverse effects of strenuous exercise for incremental efforts for more than an hour a day did not seem to outweigh the benefits. We were not able to identify an upper limit of physical activity, either moderate or vigorous, above which more harm than good will occur in terms of long-term life expectancy benefits."
Thanks lenzlaw, your post and the article in runner world make it clearer. Too bad people fudge stuff like that to fit their ideas.
urun- sounds like a beautiful place to run, especially when quiet at 8 AM. Enjoy your time there!
The weather is staying warmer, 45 again today, so I did some speed work for most of my 3.2 miles today. Ran right after church so I could get home for the Packer game! trying to get my stride rate up to close to 180, would run near that for a minute, then walk for a minute. With time hopefully will be able to stretch the time at the faster turnover. plan to try that once/week with the other days being slow base building. That's the plan for now anyway.
have a great week friends, run strong and safe.

Dan~What a stretch of beautiful weather we've had, happy to read you have been able to enjoy it!
urun~Enjoy running and visiting London! Alas! Poor Kate down with morning sickness. Perhaps you could run some soda crackers over to her at Kensington Palace.
Lots of "junk" miles ran the last 5 days, but just happy to break up the phone calls with some exercise. Crazy work schedule last week and I'm on a committee responsible for an event for 300 women held this past Sunday at my church. Eleven months of planning for a 2 hour program! Everything went very well, but I'm exhausted. Yesterday, 5 mile hike along Lake Michigan to take advantage of our unseasonal 55-degree weather. Today an easy 4 mile run on the bike path. Just received a list of 2013 races to consider running. I'd like to train for 4 HMs. Two in spring, and two in autumn. So many choices, love reading all the race descriptions!
Run strong, friends!
Dan, "nice 5.2 miler" - Great! Your training plan sounds good. I may steal.
Urun, great article! Thanks for posting that! "Waved to the Royals" Glad you're enjoying London! Great way to visit a place!
Nancy, good grief that's some serious mud! Bay of Fundy sounds fun! Glad to hear you're healing. Good luck!!
Nadine, welcome and great going on your race times!
Debra, thank you! I hadn't compared my times from last year and this until you mentioned them. Great race times 31:45 and 29:25. those training runs and hikes paid off! Congrats on the PR!! Don't beat yourself up over the shoe laces; if it's not one thing ... Relay training sounds fun!
Ray, agreed; I had many questions after reading the article. Sorry about your injury but race sounds like an awesome experience.
Rich, glad you enjoyed the 10k in Sun Diego with your wife!
Marie, fatastic progress training at 20 mi with a 10 mi hike!!!
Az, good luck with your 10 mi. race training in Az. Can't imagine running in MN in winter cold.
Capt.Jer, welcome!
No runs here. Am nursing cold and planning trips to the gym for strength training. Hopefully I'll follow through.
Strong and happy runs to all!!

It won't be easy but it will be worth it!
MaryKay~Feel better soon! Your tag line reminds me of one of my favorite "reel" quotes, "It's suppose to be hard. If it wasn't hard everybody would do it. The hard is what makes it great." Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks), A League of Their Own.
Yesterday dropped my son off at school, and ran the path along the river down to the track. Beautiful, peaceful and helped to mentally prepare for the 6 x 400 speed work planned. My goal was to only glance at my Garmin at the 200 mark on my running lap to check my pace. This is easier in theory than practice. I had to fight checking it every 10 steps! I would like to get to my pace by being cognizant of my effort and breathing patterns. This will take much more practice for me! Ran a slow recovery mile to the cafe' for a bowl of oatmeal and coffee. Enjoyed chatting with the Salvation Army bell ringer, and looking at all the lovely shop window displays on my walk back to the school parking lot. What a great morning!
Run strong, friends!

Increasing titers in mammalian cell culture has recently shifted the focus of process development efforts toward improving the economics of product recovery and purification processes. Some argue that a paradigm shift may be required to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of future antibody candidates. This paper discusses the key process economic drivers and the impact of scale and titer on downstream processing (DSP) economic trade-offs.
If the increase in annual output is also accompanied by titer increases, then the trends are expected to become even more pronounced. At small scales, fixed costs tend to dominate and any changes in raw materials will have minimal impact. However, as scale increases, the role of raw materials becomes more critical. It is therefore important to look at the distribution of the costs (upstream to downstream, and direct to indirect costs) and at the scale and titer of interest to prioritize optimization efforts.

The tees are just being framed, but once done it will be a great small town course. The shorts are fun and make you work for a few of the deuces. The longs are just that, great 350 – 400 ft shots that require you to throw both hyzers and anhyzers. Overall a great design for the land they had to work with.

Aiken's 40th annual Steeplechase is Saturday.
News 12's Kristen Cosby is on the track with what you can expect at the races.
Ford Conger Field is empty now, but Saturday 30,000 people will descend on it. It's an Aiken tradition that's filled with big jumps and big fun.
Saturday the screaming will abound as around 60 horses run and jump in Aiken's Steeplechase, a renewed race going strong for 40 years.
"This event has been a tremendous tradition in Aiken's history and it started back in 1930," says Paul Sauerborn, Steeplechase Association president.
The Steeplechase ended during World War II, but in 1965, the grand tailgating party returned.
Sauerborn says the race is enjoyed by all kinds of people.
"There's going to be a remarkable crowd here tomorrow and it seems to get better every year," he said Friday.
Besides the race, there's something for everyone...from carriage parades to fancy hats to shopping.
Dozens of vendors were setting up Friday, getting ready for the masses to buy their goods.
"It's kind of a combination of having a very broad spectrum of people as well as a captive audience," says vendor Vivien Bunce.
Saturday's weather is expected to be cool, like it's been lately. But the good news is it isn't supposed to rain.
Gates open at 9:30. The first race is at 1.
Tickets to the Steeplechase are $10 ahead of time and $15 at the race.
And you might want to bring a chair...seating is tight.

Charities concerned casino will hurt their fundraising
When lawmakers take up the state Senate's casino bill next month, they'll get push-back from more than police chiefs, churches and budget hawks doubtful about a casino's promised windfall. Charities, fearing a hit to their fundraising, are readying their arguments, too. The numbers explain why. In the last fiscal year, nearly 500 charities collected $13.6…

Boston, Doobie Brothers, Don Felder
Why you should go: It's the Bone Bash, which is kind of like the Black and White Ball for classic rock fans. For the 2014 affair, local radio station KSAN-FM 107.7 (The Bone) has once again put together a solid lineup, highlighted by the long-awaited return of Boston.
On second thought: Boston is touring in support of a new album, "Life, Love & Hope," which is its first release since 2002's "Corporate America." And this is one classic-rock band that still takes its new records very seriously -- even if fans don't. That means there's a chance that Boston could load up its set with new tunes and skimp a bit on the classics. That would be bad.
Best on the bill: It's easy to take San Jose's Doobie Brothers for granted, since the band performs so regularly in the Bay Area. Yet, the Doobies are still absolutely sensational in concert. Every time it takes the stage, the band makes a convincing case for why it should be enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Details: 7 p.m. Aug. 2; Shoreline; $30-$106
Michael McDonald, Toto
Why you should go: To hear the work that McDonald did with the Doobie Brothers, including such fan favorites as "Minute by Minute," "Takin' It to the Streets" and "What a Fool Believes."
On second thought: "Yah Mo B There."
Best on the bill: Both acts are just so, um, earnest. And we're having a really hard time responding in kind. So, we'll just pick Toto, because it had the better videos in the '80s.
Details: 7:30 p.m. Aug. 5; Mountain Winery; $49.50-$129.50
ZZ Top, Jeff Beck
Why you should go: The Beards 'N Beck Tour delivers two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acts, each with its own dedicated fan base. The two acts share some similarities -- notably a penchant for blistering guitar work -- but overall are different enough to make for a diversely appealing night of music.
On second thought: How many meaty guitar leads can you handle in one evening? If your answer is less than 527,614, then this might not be the show for you.
Best on the bill: ZZ Top is fun and all, but getting to watch Beck play guitar is like getting to watch Picasso paint. He's one of the all-time greats and shouldn't be missed.
Details: 6:30 p.m. Aug. 12; Mountain Winery; $65-$225
Aerosmith, Slash
Why you should go: Aerosmith will likely play songs from the '70s.
On second thought: Aerosmith will likely also play songs from the '80s, '90s and (shudder) the 2000s.
Best on the bill: It's still definitely Aerosmith, which has so much more to offer than former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash. Yet, the single best moment of the night might just be when Slash burns through that legendary solo in GNR's "Sweet Child O' Mine." And the second best moment could be when he crushes the lead at the end of "November Rain." Wait ... is it too late to change our answer?
Details: 7:30 p.m. Aug. 13; Concord Pavilion; $48.50-$234
