The Eagle Lions offers a "Big Thank You" to the Eagle community, friends, and neighbors who enjoyed the fun night at the Lions Spaghetti Dinner and Silent Auction March 22. Because of your gracious and spirited giving, we are happy to report that we met and exceeded our goal of $8,000 for this event! The generosity of local businesses who donated items, and the community support that enables them to give, allows the Lions to continue serving the people of our community. We are humbled by your generosity and are energized to continue to serve our community. The atmosphere this year was very wonderful to observe, such as the young bidder who was very focused on bidding for the Vail Resort Epic Ski Pass, so that her father would have a ski pass this year to ski with her.
The Lions also thank the Eagle Boy Scout Troop 222, including Yogi Wyrick, Ian Savage, Halsey Lucas, Kelby Denissen, Will Bashford, Ambrose Holcomb, Parker Labine; Scout leaders Larry Ferguson, Cindi Holcomb, Mindy Denissen, Tom Bashford; and Scout parent Laura Savage. Eagle Lions are sponsors for the Eagle Boy Scout Troop 222 and appreciate their service to this community and their volunteer assistance with this annual event that benefits this community.
Special friends of the Eagle Lions also graciously gave of their time, including Michelle and James Quenon, and Willie Fuhrman of Eagle, and Terry Siverly who traveled from Vail; all came to donate their time.
Lions also appreciate the assistance of the Eagle Elementary Secretary Angela Hart with the PA system and tables; Sandra Tapia, Teri Nelson, and Sharyn Smith with food prep; and Lion spouse Linda Verderber.

|Dinner with Wayne - yay cooking lessons!
1. Gratitude: 23:23
If I spend the rest of my life trying to express the immense gratitude I feel, I still don't think I'll have enough time or ability. It is a privilege to know such wonderful people.
Today I volunteered at the Good Shepherd Refuge. We made beds (yay hospital corners!), folded linen, and assembled shelves. It was work, but it was fun. I found it so uplifting being around the other volunteers and working with the shelter staff. I'm glad that Toronto has such an organized system for helping the homeless. I'm glad people are making such a difference...
As if that wasn't enough to fill me with happiness, I had dinner with Wayne and his daughter as well. I love being around them, and it is *such* a privilege to know them. Wayne's kindness towards me is something I will never be able to repay. His daughter is delightful. But what is truly special is watching them together... That's love. That's reality.
And of course, the outpouring of love and support from friends leaves me just amazed... amazed!
If I love, it is because I am surrounded by it and overflowing with it. How lucky can any one person be? What could I have done or what can I do to deserve this? Let me spend the rest of my life learning how to love as I've been loved and I've seen love, and that would be a life well-lived.

The Other Mad Men: Pop Art in Perspective
Carol Inge Hockett
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
1:00pm @ Plaza Branch
From the work of former commercial artist and window display designer Andy Warhol to billboard painter James Rosenquist, the American advertising world helped to inform and inspire the Pop Art movement. Arts educator Carol Inge Hockett explores the painting, sculpture, and printmaking of Warhol, Rosenquist, Tom Wesselmann, and Claes Oldenburg, as well as the work of pop poet Ronald Gross.
Hockett is coordinator of the School and Family Programs at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University and formerly worked at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.

The per-capita is taken from Tribal Income earned since July of this year.

11 Easy Ways to Sex Up Your Summer Beauty Routine
Celebrity make-up artist Troy Surratt says a monochromatic look is classically feminine. So mix a bit of your lipstick (whether red, poppy pink, or coral) with moisturizer to make a cream blush and dab it on the apples of your cheeks.
On pollen-filled spring days when you know your allergies will be acting up, Surratt advises to stay away from green eye makeup because it makes your eyes look even more bloodshot. Instead, go for midnight or navy blue shadow, since it has an optical effect, leaving the whites of your eyes looking brighter.

An army of 100 scarecrows dressed in glowing decontamination suits kept a sinister vigil over the Dockville Festival in Hamburg earlier this month. Installed by Spanish designers Luzinterruptus, the figures were supported in regular rows and adorned with nuclear symbols, blank faces and taped-up mouths. They remained in place for one month.
The installation Radioactive Control was created for the Dockville Festival in de Hamburg which tried to demonstrate, in a humorous tone, the paranoia that we are suffering from since the escape of radioactive material in Japan, has brought into question the safety systems at the nuclear power plants.

Pandora Media, the biggest Internet radio service, dropped in late trading after listener growth missed some analysts' estimates. Quarterly profit beat projections and the company raised its 2014 outlook.
Active listeners grew 7.5 percent to 76.4 million users in the second quarter, the Oakland-based company said Thursday. That was shy of the 76.6 million estimate of Corey Barrett, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities, and a projection of 77 million by Mark Mahaney at RBC Capital Markets.
"Usage is stagnating, I think that's the fundamental challenge -- competition has been starting to take its toll," Rich Greenfield, an analyst with BTIG, said in a telephone interview. "That's going to scare the market for what's supposed to be a rapid-growth Internet company."
Larger companies are building services to compete with Pandora, such as Google's purchase of Songza Media and Apple's acquisition of Beats Electronics. The number of Pandora listeners and the amount of time they spend using the service is little changed on a monthly basis from December to June, said Greenfield, who rates the stock a sell.
The stock fell 10.5 percent to $25.70 in extended trading after the results were announced. The shares rose 4.3 percent to $28.72 at the close in New York.
Pandora expects to earn 5 cents to 8 cents a share on an adjusted basis in the third quarter, with sales of $235 million to $240 million. Analysts had projected 8 cents and $234 million.
For the year, the company projects 16 cents to 19 cents a share in profit, excluding items, up from the 14 cents to 18 cents it projected in April.
Second-quarter earnings came to 4 cents a share, excluding items. Analysts predicted 3 cents, the average of 27 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Sales grew 43 percent $218.9 million. Mobile revenue rose 59 percent to $167.5 million. The company is among the top five mobile advertising platforms, with Google and Facebook in the lead, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Flowserve Receives Valve Order for Australian Desalination Plant
Flowserve receives an order for plug valves for the Southern Seawater Desalination Plant near Perth, Australia.
Having equipped desalination plants for more than half a century, Flowserve understands energy is the largest operating cost for any SWRO facility. Flowserve also understands that high-efficiency equipment and especially energy recovery devices are critical to making the process cost-effective.
That's why in 2009 Flowserve acquired the Swiss company Calder™. Calder specializes in the design, engineering and manufacture of energy recovery devices and related propriety technologies for reverse osmosis desalination.

Monday's runaway victory at the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego marked the last you'll see Tiger Woods for a while.
He's skipping this week's Phoenix Open in Scottsdale, Ariz. Also, tournament director Steve John has announced Woods won't be playing in next week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, an event Woods participated in last year.
Woods has had a few issues in the past with the pro-am. He won the AT&T in 2000, but the former Stanford product soon grew disenchanted with the bumpy poa annua greens. Sketchy weather, long rounds and celebrity-driven crowds didn't help.
Woods also won't play in the Northern Trust Open at Riviera, according to caddie Joe LaCava. So fans won't see him again until the Accenture Match Play Championship on Feb. 20-24 in Arizona.
Singh released a statement Wednesday at the Phoenix Open: "While I have used deer-antler spray, at no time was I aware that it may contain a substance that is banned under the PGA Tour Anti-Doping Policy. I am absolutely shocked that deer-antler spray may contain a banned substance and am angry that I have put myself in this position. I have been in contact with the PGA Tour and am cooperating fully with their review of this matter."
Tour spokesman Ty Votaw said the tour is "looking into the matter." Doug Barron is the only player to be suspended under the tour's anti-doping policy, missing part of 2009 and most of 2010.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Following a review for legal purposes, the Sierra Sands Unified School District Board of Education will be reducing its seats by one member. The 2014 election will have three board members will be vying for two seats in November. The election will also be an at-large election, not by area or district.
Board president Bill Farris explained the reasoning for the reduction on Wednesday. The change from six to five board members is the second in a two-step reduction process. The last election in 2012 saw the elimination of one seat, dropping the seats on the board from seven to six.
Farris said that when Sierra Sands unified with neighboring districts in the 1970s, all seven districts were represented, including Rand, Indian Wells Valley and China Lake districts. The Rand district representative was eliminated, for example, due to an imbalance in representation. The board member representing Rand, Judy Dietrichson, will finish out her term and be eligible to run in November as an at-large candidate.
Farris said there had been a change in the laws governing voting districts that required the district examine its own voting areas. He said the school was looking to see if the current voting areas created a disadvantage to minorities. He said the district is so "homogeneous" in its demographic that there were no displaced minorities. The need for voting districts and individual representatives for those districts is not necessary.
There has been no word from board members about stepping down, Farris said, but the election process will take care of that.

Semis at home
Roger has moved another step towards defending his home-title with a routine 6-3 6-2 win over Germany's Nicolas Kiefer to reach the semi-finals.
"It wasn't easy today," Roger insisted after winning the final game to love. "My serve wasn't helping me out much with only the one ace near the end. But I was playing pretty solidly from the baseline and I hope I can continue that way for the rest of the week."
The result is very clear, even clearer than a week ago in Madrid, where Roger had won 6-4, 6-4 against Kiefer (ATP 64) in the semis. But the German certainly had his chances during the match, especially in the beginning. But Roger replied in his usual fashion, regaining his advantage on Kiefer's service game and displaying attractive tennis and even the odd little gag her and there.
anyway you're always great FEDERERISSIMO!!!
Come On Roger!!!
Best to you and yours.
congrats and keep it up
try to win the tournament
go go go go
Karlovic is the big server, with a wing span, and apparently playing better and winning some games. Mr. Federer, you've played him before, so you know what to
We'll cheer for you!
I saw the end of the match on Eurosport. Congratulations on your win against Kiefer! You made it look easy. I wish you all the luck in the world against Karlovic!

Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Richmond County Schools will soon have two new safety officers in their elementary schools. Right now, they have officers in middle schools and high schools, but none in the elementary schools. At the meeting Tuesday night, they decided to change that.
"I think it's a great thing just for a sense of security," said Cheri Ogden, who has been a elementary school principal in Richmond County for four and a half years.
"It makes you feel secure, it makes you realize that there's somebody designated for your school to keep an eye on your children, your staff, and to provide a second look at your security measures," she said.
The two officers will join 30 other school safety officers, but these will be dedicated solely to elementary schools.
"One will have the north schools and one will have the south," said Deputy Superintendent Tim Spivey.
"It's good for the staff to know that we have someone that's designated for us to call if we were to need security in the school," Ogden said.
After the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., it made schools look at their own safety procedures.
"I think it's made us all more aware and more cautious," Ogden said.
But officials say this was in the works before the shooting in Newtown happened.
"Things can happen anywhere. In the theater, churches," Spivey said. "We're looking to add a couple officers because we're already short."
They say the ultimate goal would be to have an officer in every school, but the money's just not there.
"We're in a budget crisis right now, and therefore, the cost would be astronomical to place officers in every school," said Capt. Ted Brown, interim director of school safety.
So, for now, they're focusing on the safety of the elementary schools, a top priority for Ogden every day.
"Parents have trusted us with the safety of their children, so yeah, we're on high alert and we're making sure we're on point and we're doing what we can to make sure we protect them," she said.
The positions were approved Tuesday night. Now they can start looking for who will fill those positions and present their recommendations at the meeting in February.
As for the money, it's coming from the lieutenant position that used to be filled by now-Sheriff Richard Roundtree. Instead of hiring a new lieutenant, they will leave that position open and use the money to hire these new officers.
They are also working to hire a new chief after Patrick Clayton moved to the Sheriff's Office. They have taken applications and are getting ready to set up a panel and start interviewing. They say that should happen by the end of the month.
The board gets the final say on who gets hired in February.

The Insider: New Developer in Part of Oakbridge
Published: Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 1:38 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 1:38 a.m.
Heard Development representatives have spent a lot of time at Lakeland City Hall checking impact fees, zoning and the like.

At American Ballet Theatre, Suits and Sweats
At American Ballet Theatre, dancers in leotards share the hallways with administrators in suits, production staff in jeans and artistic personnel exhibiting a creative flair. The company employs about 100 people, in addition to roughly 90 dancers, and has its headquarters in Manhattan's Union Square neighborhood.
"Wherever you're walking around, one person is more gorgeous than the next," said Kate Lydon, ABT studio company director. "I definitely try to look nice, but also just for myself so that I feel good amongst all these beautiful people."
The Dress Code: "It depends on what role you play," said Rachel Moore, the chief executive, who danced with the company in the 1980s. While dancers can take a more casual approach, development staff need to have a professional, polished look. "I think that as an arts institution, we can get away with a little bit more pizzazz than a banker can."
"The dancers are in sweatpants all day," said assistant stage manager Jeremiah Bischoff, who wears a black T-shirt, jeans and boots almost every day. "But I think I'm the bottom of the barrel."
Baryshnikov and Dogs: A handful of dogs might be in the office at any given time. "Because it's a very stressful work environment, there's so much competition—it's friendly competition—it's very exhausting, emotionally and physically," said Tina Escoda, artistic administrator. "The dogs provide such a great relief."
"I danced with the company in the '80s when [Mikhail] Baryshnikov was our director," she added. "There were golden retrievers, Dalmatians. They were all big dogs, and we toured with them. It was quite a scene."

Hi All,
so happy to find this site!
In 2010 I started C25K and ran my first 5k in April 2011. That summer, I broke my foot.I didn't do much after that, and began walking more last year. I began running again January of this year, 2013, and have done another 5k run, and have done some charity walks as well. I have now signed up to do a 5k each month for the next few months, and want to run and improve each race.
I have a goal to do a half marathon, and I want to do it next year.
I don't run every day, as I try to switch it up and do strenght/resistance work and yoga a couple days a week as well. I try to run at least 3 days of the week.
I am 47 yrs old and weigh a little of 200lbs. I've lost 30 this year, and it feels good.
So, my questions here are training questions. First off - running is hard! But I do feel good mentally and physically after I push myself. At this time the farthest distance I have done is only a 5k, and my pace/time is not great. Average 14.5 min per mile.
I really want to get faster, AND be able to go farther, but I'm not sure how to do this.
There are days I will run at home on the treadmill, I named her Millie
I will do interval training, and at times try to increase the time that I am going my fastest....up to 1 min now, wooohooo!
I keep thinking that I need to work on it 1 mile at a time.....doing 1 mile as fast as I can and then slow down or just walk? That's what I did yesterday. I did a two mile loop, and I really pushed myself the first mile to achieve a greater speed, but ended up walking most of the second mile.
I'm feeling kind of stuck.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks so much.
Hey Lisa, congratulations on your running success to date and your plans going forward!
Regarding some of the specifics you have in mind for training.
Fat old man PRs:
I am on my last week of C25k. I have slowed my runs way down and have felt really good just completing the time. What I have done is run slowest at the beginning of my run 12:30 pace), speed up slightly in the middle (12:00 Pace) and speed it up again at the end. I mean slightly. Even my last speed up isn't that fast - 11:30 pace. I am doing this on a treadmill and I've found I'm better able to pace appropriately. When I was running outside I would struggle and I think it was because I was all over the place in my pace - running anywhere between 9:30 and 11:30.
Running outside does have the side-effect of making your pace vary with the terrain you're running on or the wind you're running into or away from; not surprising your pace changes a bit.
Fat old man PRs:
Thanks so much for the advise.
Now - any tips on the to push myself and keep going the distance? The 5k is the longest I have done, and that was hard. I feel like I have trouble pushing myself to do a longer run.
Do others typically stop at all during a longer run, walking any of it? I'm just having such a hard time pushing myself further.
Regarding extending your runs; first off, you're doing great, I wouldn't worry too much about longer runs until running two and a half to three miles without stopping becomes relatively easy.
As for stopping during a run, yeah, lots and lots of folks do that, especially when first getting in shape; it's all part of the process of teaching your body to go further.
Back in 2009 I attempted, once again, to restart my running after six years of being sidelined due to a badly broken leg and partially torn off foot; the surgeon who screwed me back together informed me that while I'd be able to walk again, most likely with a limp, my running days were over, period. Those six years of trying (and failing) to prove him wrong had been extremely frustrating (and not at all kind to my body or my weight), and grasping at straws, I tried running in soft (almost sandy) dirt one day in April of 2009; I went a whopping half of a mile, and IT DIDN'T hurt (at least not my back and my joints, my muscles were in agony). That month I managed a total of 8 miles, in May I ran 18 miles, 42 in June, 86 in July, and just over 100 in August.
I told you that to tell you this, the human body is an amazing machine; challenge it and it will adapt, it might take a while but it WILL happen.
Keep up the good work and please keep us posted.
Fat old man PRs:
Thanks Shipo - your advice and encouragement mean alot. I will keep plugging away at the miles. My legs hurt, my feet hurt, I sweat like a fiend, but I'm going to keep at it. I have goals, and it really does feel great to achieve, even the small ones.
I got up this morning and went to watch my brother do a 10k race. I positioned myself on a pretty good size hill about half way through the route. I was the only spectator there but I just clapped and yelled "great job" "keep going" and more to everyone who was going up that hill.
I could see the smiles of the runners, and a some thanked me. One woman said to me, "did they put you here on purpose, the perfect motivation spot, thank you so much!"
It felt sooo good to cheer these runners on, this was my first time actually being a spectator. I can't wait to run this same race with my brother next year.
Thanks again for all of the support!

Check out the writings of John Bingham ("The Penguin") - google his name on the web. He is an advocate of run/walk programs, particularly for beginners, and for runners of all abilities at longer distances (run X minutes and then walk Y minutes, repeat over and over).

One person's opinion, an opinion I absolutely disagree with for more experienced runners.
Fat old man PRs:
Actually, run/walk is recommended by many experienced runners, coaches, magazines, etc. It is a tested and proven technique.

Three points:
Of course it goes without saying that the above is just one individual's opinion (mine in this instance).
I guess in this case, my qualifying statement of, "often wrong, never uncertain", need apply.
Fat old man PRs:
I can only add: We are all just a experiment of one! I don't use the run/walk but would bet Jeft Galloway would consider himself a experience runner and he ran Sub 2:45 using it.
I remember not wanting to walk at all during my runs once I had completed the Couch to 5k Program, because it felt like I was regressing. The whole point of doing C25K was to be ABLE to run without walking for three miles, right?!
But what I found was that I enjoyed my runs so much more when I didn't beat myself up for taking a short walking break here and there to catch my breath or rest my legs. When I refused to let myself walk for even a minute, I ran slower than I felt like running, or I ended up only running for 3 miles when otherwise I might have run for 6.
Giving myself the freedom to take a break and walk for a minute without a ton of guilt over it has enabled me to run much further, much more often, and have a lot more fun. I have found that because I'm not completely anti-walking breaks, I actually take FEWER walking breaks because I know I can take one later if I need one, and won't feel like I'm giving up. I'll run 10-12 miles with less than five minutes of walking breaks during that time, but without those minutes, I probably would turn back after mile 5.
Good luck as you keep making progress... I think walking breaks, especially as you're adding distance, are a great idea.

Hi Lisa,
I'm glad you're enjoying the challenge of running. I love the early morning jog. I know a lot of people don't feel it's necessary; but, I love my heart rate monitor / gps combo watch. I have improved tons since getting this wonderful thing. The reason I have improved is that I found I was running in red zone - so I was blowing right through aerobic zone and anaerobic zone and going right to red zone. I really pushed myself to run further and further without stopping but it was truly hard to do.
Once I figured out my heart rate was too high I spent about 4 weeks doing aerobic jogs - trying to jog as long as possible but staying in my aerobic heart rate zone - whenever my heart rate got too high I would jog slower or walk a bit; then I would start again. I focused on doing 40 minutes and not worrying about my distance - some of my jog intervals were 14+ minute mile pace - I would do 2-3 of these a week and then do 1 aerobic zone run on the weekend - staying in my aerobic zone for the entire distance. The aerobic zone runs were boring; but, I told myself it was short term boredom for more fun down the line. That was in August...
September I spent time doing anearobic runs; 2 miles during the week and 3.1 on the weekend. I only did 2 mile jog during the week because of cross training; but I pushed myself more on these runs since they were shorter runs. So, did it work??? Last weekend I went out and ran 4 miles and averaged 11:27 min pace and I included 2 hills! I only walked after I got to the top of the hill each time; but, then started again to take advantage of the downhill.
To give you a little insight on me - I'll be 50 next month, I carry a little extra weight, I have bad knees, weak ankles, and occaisional hip and sciatica issues. But, I love to get my jogs in...So, I have figured out a way to do it with the least pain as possible. Because of this I am a believer in watching the heart rate and listening to the body - do whatever the body can do....everyone is different - not everyone is going to run a 9 minute mile; some of us are happy running a mile in less than 12 minutes and we feel good. So, my advice is to listen to your body and push it a little further than you did the time before. But, it would be beneficial to know what heart rate you're running at.
I hope this was helpful - enjoy the jog; don't stress about going long distances, and be happy with the shorter distances until your body says it's time.
"Run at Your Own Pace"
You are all so helpful and generous with your knowledge! Thanks so much!
I have been running with Millie (my treadmill) for the last two weeks or so, and my pace seems awful....at about 17 mpm. (yikes!)
Got back outside today and have a new PR of 13.45 per mile....sustained for 2 miles!!!
I am so excited about this. I'm thinking, though,,,,how do I push myself a bit harder with Millie then? Just keep going, adding distance and not worry about the time is what I'm thinking.
Also - I can only seem to run in the morning....that's when my motivation is best. I've run some 5k's in the afternoon or evening, but for my regular weekly running it has to be in the morning. Now I cannot eat when I first get up, and I do notice that I sometimes get nauseaus when I'm running, or right after. I then try to drink water before I eat anything. Today though, I not only felt nauseaus, but I think I do need to fuel in the morning before I run.
I'm worried though that whatever I eat may not sit well while I'm running.
I've thought maybe a banana, but that almost seems heavy. Any thoughts on a "light" fuel first thing?
Meet Millie!

The wait was worth it for Palo Alto's Davante Adams, whose NFL future involves catching passes from Aaron Rodgers.
Taken by the Green Bay Packers with the 53rd overall pick in the second round of the NFL draft on Friday, the Fresno State wide receiver called the news "awesome."
"I can't wait," Adams said by phone from his family's home. "He's the best quarterback in the NFL. I've watched him for a long time. Now I get to play with him. It's pretty crazy ... a dream come true."
Rodgers, the one-time Cal star, was also a happy man.
"Love it," Rodgers tweeted after the selection.
The Packers grabbed a second Bay Area player when they selected Cal tight end Richard Rodgers with the No. 98 overall pick. "Another Rodgers from Cal in Green Bay, sweet," tweeted the quarterback (no relation).
The first Bay Area player taken was Stanford outside linebacker Trent Murphy, who went 47th overall by Washington. "I'm ecstatic," he said in a phone interview.
As many as seven more Stanford players could be chosen Saturday as the draft concludes with rounds four through seven. San Jose State quarterback David Fales also remains on the board.
Adams, 21, said he's never been anywhere as cold as Green Bay. "I'm totally good with it," he said. "For what I'm doing, it definitely outweighs everything else."
The 6-foot-1, 212-pounder was the ninth of a record 12 wideouts taken in the first two rounds.
A graduate of Palo Alto High, Adams led the NCAA in pass receptions as a redshirt sophomore in 2013, grabbing 131 passes for 1,718 yards and 24 touchdowns. In two seasons, he caught 233 passes for 3,030 yards and a Mountain West Conference career-record 38 TDs.
"You love how he's a competitor," Packers receivers coach Edgar Bennett said. "He has good hands, makes the tough catch, goes up and attacks the football.
"He gets the ball north and south quickly, breaks tackles but also makes people miss."
The 6-foot-5, 252-pound Murphy, who led the nation last season with 15 sacks, got a text Friday from Stanford coach David Shaw, who told him he'd spoken with new Washington coach Jay Gruden.
But he wasn't sure until getting a phone call from Washington. "I was speechless," he said. "I couldn't be happier."
Gruden said he liked almost everything he saw in Murphy, a consensus first-team All-American.
"He's the first on the field every day, the last to leave. He studies the game, he's big, long," Gruden said. "He may not have the explosion right now off the line of scrimmage, but I look for production, I look for intensity, I look for toughness and accountability. He's got all those traits."
Murphy was the first Stanford defensive player taken as high as the second round since safety Tank Williams was drafted by Tennessee in 2002.
"I couldn't be more ready for it," Murphy said. "I had a great experience at Stanford. I'm very blessed. But I'm definitely ready for the next step."
Cal's Rodgers was drafted sooner than most experts anticipated, despite having his tight end position virtually eliminated from Cal's offense last fall.
The 6-4, 257-pounder, who caught 39 receptions for 608 yards last fall, said the Cal offense contributed to his decision to leave college after his junior year. But he didn't think it scared off NFL scouts.
"Obviously, you see the tight ends now in the NFL are flexed out, playing off the line," he said. "So it didn't worry me much."
Said Green Bay tight ends coach Jerry Fontenot: "He has really good hands, catches the football and he's a detailed route-runner. His understanding of schemes and concepts, he really understands the game."

Hi there,
I'm curious about the Nike + Sensor because I was thinking about getting this for my husband for Christmas. He just started running again over the summer, and he wishes that he could have more information about his runs, so I thought that this would be a good idea for a gift. I also bought him an Ipod Nano for Christmas as well. The only problem is that he doesn't have the Nike + shoes that store the chip, so I was wondering if anyone has used the chip and put in in/on their running shoes a different way, and if the readings were accruate if you did that as opposed to buying the Nike + shoes. Also, with the Nike + Sportband, do you need to have the chip in your shoe for that as well? I was thinking as that for an alternative, but if I do that, I will still have the same issue with where the sensor can go on his shoe to be effective.
If anyone has any experience with this, if you could provide some feedback, I would appreciate it!
Well the Nike + is a sensor that lives in the shoe (or in my case on top of the shoe). No you do not need the Nike+ shoes, and they sell products that go with the Nike+ for the non-nike shoes.
The Nike+ sportsband, still requires the sensor to live on the shoe in order for it to track the steps/distance the person is taking.

I just reading the posts again so sorry for the late response.
I LOVE my Nike +!!!!
I do not wear Nike shoes but have a shoe wallet. The shoe wallet holds the battery thing (along with my ID and a $5 bill in case emergencey cash needed). It velcros at the top of the shoe between the laces. They cost less than $5 and Amazon has them as well as sporting stores. I just replaced the battery in my Nike + yesterday. When my info. downloaded to the website when I did my sync. the Nike website was updated at the beginning of December. Love it!
Your husband will surely like the idea of tracking his runs.
I was looking at these too.. how accurate is it?
For me, I think this is very accurate. It's better than what I was using...nothing! Love it!
Sorry for the late response ...
I started out with the NikePlus unit and then moved on to a Garmin ForeRunner 305 last summer. I'd previously calibrated the NikePlus over 1.25 miles on a commercial-grade Precor treadmill. Feeling especially nerdy one day, I strapped EVERYTHING on and went out for my run. On a loop within the run, I "lapped" both devices to compare them. Garmin = 1.80 miles; NikePlus = 1.79 miles. There's a little slush in the GPS measurement, of course, but that's close enough for me!
You can use the Shoewallet to carry the sensor. This also allows you (your husband) to use the Nike+iPod Sport Kit with any brand of shoes. Plus, your husband will have a place to carry ID (why important, check out the stats from the CDC here, www.shoewallet.com/iddata), cash, keys & credit cards. Back when this product launched, Consumer Reports ran a test of the special Nike shoes ($100) vs. the Shoewallet ($10). They found no difference in data delivery of the Nike+iPod Sport Kit with the shoes vs. the Shoewallet.
You can view the Consumer Reports piece here, http://shoewallet.com/files/consumerreports.pdf
Below is the Shoewallet featured on NBC's Today Show
How accurate is the sync?
As as small woman the Gamin is too large for my wrist, and I would like something for my longer runs.
Like half marathons and marathon training.
Consumer Reports review of our Shoewallet, www.shoewallet.com, stated there was no difference in the data delivery with the $100 Nike shoes or the $10 Shoewallet. We've had customers send us their reviews (we should add this info on our site(s) now that I think of it) and 100% have said the Shoewallet sync is dead on. You can try it out. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee (we even refund original S&H if you return).

I love my Nike +. After it's calibrated it is pretty accurate outside. I use the pouch with Mizunos as Nike sneakers killed my feet. I was using Nike + Air Pegasus but they were too narrow for my foot. I switched to Mizuno's and went with the pouch.
I would really reccomend it.
I am a "Long Island Guy" too! I ran the LI half last year and am running the full this year.
See you there!
"I can't means I won't"
My Blog - http://http://runningonli.blogspot.com/
My marathon registered 27.52 miles. That's as accurate as I could calibrate it.
I have been using the Nike Plus system since it first came out. However, I do have the Nike Plus shoes....they go on clearance where I live often plus I have a Nike Factory Outlet. No matter if you use the sneakers or the shoe wallet, I believe that it is still IMPORTANT to calibrate the sensor to your indidvidual pace. I program my iPod Nano to everything to make sure that I get the most accurate reading.
I think I'm going to try to go for the Garmin over NIke.. seems a bit more accurate.
and Mike.. that is my story too.. LI Half last year and going for the full this year! See you there!

$427 Million: The Rise of Genetically Modified Corn Comes at a Price
China's rejection of genetically modified corn is dividing U.S. agribusiness as it seeks to tap the Chinese market. But how much of U.S. crops are genetically engineered?
Using data provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, we charted the percentage of genetically engineered corn, soybeans and cotton. The data shows that more than 90% of these top U.S. crops are now genetically engineered, up significantly from 2000. Take a look:
Proponents of genetically modified crops tout plenty of benefits for growers and consumers, but as the WSJ reports today, there are also costs. China has been rejecting shipments of American corn since late 2013, saying the genetic modifications to the product are unapproved there.
The rejections are becoming a big problem for exporters, as the WSJ's Jacob Bunge reports today:
In the first full tally of the impact, a U.S. grain-industry group says the rejected shipments have come to nearly 1.45 million metric tons. That is far more than the 545,000 tons that Beijing has reported and the roughly 900,000 tons that has circulated in news media.
The rejected shipments have cost grain companies $427 million from lost sales and reduced prices for China-bound shipments that must be resold elsewhere, the National Grain and Feed Association says in a report to be released as soon as Friday. The figure includes corn and related products. China's scrutiny of the Syngenta product also has affected the price of corn and soybeans, translating to hundreds of millions of dollars in losses for farmers, according to the report.

Roger sets up dream final against Nadal
Roger and defending champion Rafael Nadal of Spain will meet in the Monte Carlo Masters final after winning their semifinals Saturday.
Roger beat Fernando Gonzalez of Chile 6-2, 6-4, and Nadal downed Gaston Gaudio of Argentina 5-7, 6-1, 6-1.
He reached his 12th consecutive final, equaling John McEnroe's mark set in 1984. Only Guillermo Vilas (13 straight in 1977) and Ivan Lendl (18 between 1981-82) have reached more in a row.
It was his 29th straight in a Masters Series tournament.
'I was very focused on this match, very concentrated,' said Roger. 'I got off to a fast start. Even though I've never lost to him, Gonzalez is always a tough opponent. I had to play well to beat him. I'm pleased with my form, which has gotten better as the week goes on.'
Roger lost to Nadal in early March in the final of Dubai. 'I want to take my revenge for Dubai in the final,' he said. 'I've had a great week and I'd love to finish it with the title.'
Well done on reaching the final.
Im so disapointed the fourt set was one inch away and I think roger had won it in the fifth!!!¨
I hate nadal

SAN MATEO -- Marketo's journey from small startup to Silicon Valley software stalwart reached its crescendo Friday, as co-founder and CEO Phil Fernandez stepped to the Nasdaq platform to kick off the day's trading session with $85 million invested through an initial public offering.
"I was tearing up a little bit" with his co-founders and first two employees surrounding him, Fernandez said. "You just work so hard day in and day out, it's hard building a company from nothing."
Fernandez's labor built something special in investors' eyes, as they pushed the company's stock price up more than 75 percent in its first day of public trading. After pricing shares at $13 in the IPO, the stock closed Friday at $23.10, a 77.7 percent gain.
The San Mateo enterprise software company, which focuses on the marketing and sales sector, sold 5.75 million shares to the public, with early investors selling an additional 300,000 shares. In addition, one of those early investors, Battery Ventures, bought 500,000 additional shares at the IPO price in a private offering; Battery had the smallest stake of the five venture capital firms that have pumped nearly $100 million into Marketo.
Marketo, founded in 2007, offers software that helps marketers reach potential customers and gauge the effectiveness of their efforts, with its products offered through the cloud. Cloud software -- also known as software as a service, or SaaS -- is accessed over the Internet on servers maintained by the software company, keeping costs for hardware and maintenance down for the businesses that subscribe.
"We saw when we started the company that SaaS was going to change everything," Fernandez said Friday, "because it was going to let us be a company that could think about 'how could we get to 100,000 customers' rather than 'how do we get to 1,000 customers.' "
Enterprise software companies that use the cloud model have been rewarded on Wall Street regularly in the past few years, with recent Silicon Valley examples including Pleasanton-based Workday and Santa Clara's Palo Alto Networks. Workday, which sells human-resources software, went public in October 2012 at $28 a share and closed Friday at more than double that price, $67.98. Palo Alto Networks, which sells security software through the cloud, charged $42 a share in its July 2012 IPO and closed Friday at $56.43.
Marketo and another company debuting Friday, Seattle-based Tableau Software, "are riding the wave of enterprise cloud software companies that have gone public in the past year with strong receptions from IPO investors, followed by strong aftermarket performance as well," PrivCo founder and CEO Sam Hamadeh said in an email.
Hamadeh, whose company analyzes financial data of private companies, noted that cloud companies are well-received by Wall Street because their earnings are more predictable -- with customers paying monthly or annual subscription rates instead of buying boxed software on a whim.
Marketo's revenues have been growing rapidly, but the San Mateo company has yet to realize profits. In the past three full years, Marketo has seen its revenue rise from $13.5 million to $29.8 million to $52.8 million, but the company's net loss has also increased every year, growing from $11.8 million in 2010 to $34.4 million in 2012.
Fernandez agreed with Hamadeh's take, however, and said profitability will arrive as the customer base continues to grow.
"As long as we keep adding customers and keep having them pay the bills, you can't do any math that doesn't ultimately get to profitability," Fernandez said.
Marketo also faces strong competition, including from Silicon Valley software giant Oracle (ORCL). The Redwood City company spent more than $800 million at the end of 2012 to buy Eloqua, a Virginia company that offers software and services similar to Marketo's. That deal happened six months after Salesforce -- the San Francisco company that first loudly trumpeted the possibilities of cloud software -- used its largest acquisition ever on social-media-focused marketing software company Buddy Media.
Fernandez -- who was chief operating officer of two Silicon Valley firms that went public in the late '90s -- sees large companies choosing different companies' software offerings for every department instead of selecting one firm for all of its different needs, however, and believes that Marketo will prove the famous Oracle CEO wrong.
"I think Larry Ellison is dead wrong when he says innovation is dead and people want to buy big (software) suites -- that's not what's happening in the world. I love our competitive position," he said.

HPV/Genital Warts Health Center
HPV Symptoms and Tests
In this article
Infection by genital HPV (human papillomavirus) is very common. At least half of people who are sexually active will contract the HPV virus at some point in their lives. Yet many will not know it and have no symptoms.
Whether symptoms occur or not can depend on the type of HPV virus involved in the infection. There are more than 100 types of HPV. Some HPV types are associated with genital warts, although the warts are not always visible.
How to Reveal You have an STD
Opening up about an STD (particularly the ones that you cannot "cure," like HPV, HIV, and herpes) can be intimidating, whether you're 20-something or 50-something. You might wonder: Why risk rejection? I'm safe if I always use a condom or avoid sex whenever I have an outbreak, right?
In a word: no. It's not always possible to know with complete certainty when an STD like herpes is transmissible. That's because herpes can "shed" the virus and spread even when there is no sign of an active herpes outbreak.
Some types of HPV are associated with cervical and other cancers, and no warts occur, and no other symptoms may be noticed. Some HPV types also cause common warts that you can find on other areas of the body such as your hands or feet.
Many people who get genital HPV will clear it without treatment and no health problems will occur. The longer the virus is in the body, however, the higher your risk of developing health problems such as cervical or anal cancer.
Here's what you need to know about genital HPV infection, symptoms, and diagnosis:
HPV Symptoms
The HPV virus lives in mucous membranes, such as those in the genital area, or on the skin. If genital warts show up, it's an indication of HPV infection. Genital warts take on many different appearances. They can be raised, flat, pink, or flesh-colored. They can even be shaped like cauliflower. Sometimes there is a single wart; other times multiple warts appear. They can be small or large. They can be on the anus, cervix, scrotum, groin, thigh, or penis.
Genital warts can show up weeks or even months after sexual contact with a person infected with an HPV virus. That person may not know he or she is infected and is responsible for HPV transmission.
Some types of genital HPV infection are associated with cancer, including cervical cancer and cancer of the vulva, anus, oropharynx (the middle part of the throat, behind the mouth), or penis. If infection occurs with one of these virus types, precancerous changes can occur in cells in the tissue without causing any symptoms.

Marley Hammer, local teen and daughter of Steve and Melinda Hammer of Burns, has earned a position on the Colorado State high school rodeo team.
Marley has been traveling with fellow teammates to Rock Springs, Wyo., since July 15 to compete at the 64th Annual National High School Finals (NHSFR) in the pole bending competition. This is her first year competing in high school rodeo. She and her horse, Dixie, won fourth place at the Colorado State High School Finals Rodeo in the pole bending competition and that showing secured her trip to the nationals.
Marley also belongs to the Little Britches Rodeo and National Barrel Horse Associations, she will be competing in the National Little Britches Rodeo Finals at Pueblo in the coming weeks. Marley has qualified for those finals in six events.
Marley has grown up on her family's working cattle ranch in Burns and she credits her rodeo accomplishments to having the opportunity to work on the ranch. She said ranch work keeps her horses legged up and open minded. She is also very thankful for her family's and community's support.
The National High School Finals Rodeo is the world's largest rodeo, featuring more than 1,500 contestants from 41 states, five Canadian provinces and Australia. In addition to competing for more than $200,000 in prizes, NHSFR contestants also will be competing for more than $350,000 in college scholarships and the chance to be named the National High School Rodeo National Champion. To earn this title, contestants must finish in the top twenty after two rounds of intense competition before advancing to Saturday night's final.
Along with great competition and the chance to meet new friends from around the world, NHSFR contestants have the opportunity to represent their team in a volleyball tournament, enjoy nightly contestant dances, participate in a talent contest, compete in an NRA rifle shooting competition, test their skills in a Knowledge Bowl competition, have the chance to shop the ever-popular NHSFR western tradeshow, and visit the historical attractions of the Cowboy State.
To follow performance results at the NHSFR, visit the NHSRA's web site daily for complete results at WWW.nhsra.org.

I bought a heart rate monitor last week and started using it to monitor what my heart rate has been during my training. I am 32 year old male as I assume that will come into play. Anyway, on Saturday I ran 6 miles and my heart rate was pretty much in the 170-176 range during the run after the first mile or so. It was a good effort run as I maintained the same pace I would had I run 3 miles. Anyway, the following day, I had a 20 mile bike ride and had my heart rate monitor on and noticed that during my ride, at my regular pace, my heart rate was only really about 140-150 bpm. So I thought that I must not be working hard enough considering the day before I was able to maintain a 170+ bpm for approx. 50 minutes. Would this be an accurate assessment or do I need to treat my bpm for the different sports separate.
As a result of the disparity, I put up more effort on the rest of the ride feeling that I was chumping out on my bike workouts. I brought my heart rate up to about 160-162 for a good amount of the ride and consequently increased my average mph by 2. But I was unable to sustain it the entire ride, I'd slip back into what my regular ride was like.
So I guess the question if it isnt clear is: If I am averaging a certain heart rate during one of the sports and it is considerably higher than in another, is that an indication of lack of effort? Is it an indicator that the running is my weakest event?
At this point I dont know what to think. Your advice is much appreciated!
The exact same thing happens to me, my heartrate is in the low 170's on the run, and 130-140's on both the swim and bike. I've talked to a few other people that say it's the same way with them. I just chalk it up to the running is more aerobic than either the bike or the swim...I dont have many answers for ya, but maybe just knowing that it's the same for others might help ya!
that is actually more relief than you may realize. I was starting to question my workout ethic and level of effort. I was starting to really doubt that I even have a clue what I can do on the bike and in the swim. There is a history of hypertension in my family so i was also a little concerned that maybe my heart is acting up... guess not right!
That makes me feel a little bit better.
your max HR for swimming and cycling is typically lower than running (something do w/ t hem not beint weight bearing exercise) but you should do afield test to figure out your max HR. your HR for a workout would depend on what sort of workout it is (easy long distance vs. hard interval vs. recovery)
goals for 2011:
break 19minutes for 5k
break 2:42 for olympic triathlon probably Anthracite olympic
break 3:16 for marathon ( a long shot but it's fun putting yourself out there)
You should do a time trial on both bike and run to figure out what your threshold is. Then you can use calculators to figure out what z1-z5 are for bike and run. My bike is about 10 beats off my run. Basically what it is, is after a warmup, you start going at a pace in which you think you can last for 30 minutes. After 10 minutes into the trial you hit the lap button on your HR as you want to get your average HR for that last 20 minutes. These are hard efforts, but not so hard you are dying before its over. I try to keep the exertion even throughout or finish off strong. It should be like you are racing.
That HR should be around your threshold HR. Check out this link http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/cms/article-detail.asp?articleid=633 .I think it explains everything.
Don't use the 220 minus age stuff, or the others.. determining by threshold is best. Of course you can spend some money get a v02max test, but you need to do it for bike and run.
Had a quick read of that article and that is absolutely what I need. I printed it so I can give it a thorough read this evening. Sounds like I am setting myself up for some hard work LOL. But I can see that it is probably invaluable as a tool for better training.
I had heard of a V)@max test but didnt really understand what that had to do with anything, but now I know. Yeah aint spending some cash until I am competitive enough to need to.
Thank you so much for the information.
