I don't want to be too harsh - but it shows how our squad needs strengthening using these two lads. Someone needs to tell Ibe that its not illegal to use team-mates and he shouldn't try so hard to impress. I am also amazed that somebody who spent a year at Barca can't pass the ball. I can see that Alberto has good vision but he really needs to get up to speed with the pace of the game coz he's about 10 yards short at the moment.
To be fair I don't think either of these two were ever envisioned to be breaking into the first 11 this season, but more likely to be on the fringe of the first team as squad players, and getting their chances in the domestic cups. But the real problem for players at their level is that they've outgrown the reserves which just does not provide enough challenge to help them progress. Loaning them out is an option, but then you loose much of the control over their development, and if we want to bred a generation of players all working to the same system, a year of championship football may not be the best thing. The only way they can improve is to be in around better players everyday in training, and then get the opportunity to play when it comes. Yes they will make mistakes, but that is the nature of any young player.

Girl Scout cookie sale extended
Published: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 9:29 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 9:29 a.m.
During the last several weeks, truckloads of Girl Scout cookies have rolled into area warehouses for distribution and sales.
To recognize the service military personnel, Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida council continues to support the "Mints for Military" program. Last year, local Girl Scouts sold more than 37,500 packages of cookies for the service project. This year, girls set a higher goal, but are running short at approximately 26,000 boxes sold.
To help meet their goal, the cookie sale ending date has been extended from March 17 to March 23.
Girls ask people cookie customers to add to their personal purchase and buy an extra box to support "Mints for Military." The donated cookies will be shipped directly from the cookie company to a military base.
Cookies are $3.50 a box. Varieties are Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-Si-Dos, Trefoils, Dulce de Leche, Savannah Smiles and Thank You Berry Munch.
A tool at www.gsgcf.org provides a calendar and locations of cookie sales booths by ZIP code.
The goal of the cookie program is to teach girls goal setting, decision making, money management, business ethics, and people skills.

Those Corporate Trust Exercises Aren't Working
U.S. employers have a trust problem.
Only about half of U.S. workers feel their employers are open and upfront with them, according to a survey about work and well-being set to be released this week by the American Psychological Association. And one-quarter of Americans say they simply don't trust the companies they work for.
That's bad for business, said David Ballard, who heads the APA's workplace initiative. When a sense of trust is missing, workers may put in less effort or otherwise subverting their employers' goals, he said.
"Employees want to know that there are fair processes in place and a sense of equity" in the exchange between their efforts and the compensation (monetary and otherwise) they receive in return, said Ballard.
One reason for the distrust and cynicism: with the recession receding in the rearview mirror, workers are angry that they're not sharing in the gains of the recovery, he said. For example, inflation-adjusted wages have barely budged since the economy began expanding again in 2009, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"People are willing to suck it up during tough times, but as things get better and companies become profitable again, they want to share in the benefits," said Ballard.
The APA began asking about trust this year in its annual workplace well-being survey—a poll of 1,562 working adults conducted in January and February—to try to better understand the long-term fallout of the recession on employee attitudes.
While a majority of employees have reported being satisfied with their jobs even during the slow recovery (the number has hovered around 69% since 2011), they are far less sanguine when asked about specific areas of their work lives, with fewer than half of workers saying they're happy with factors such as professional growth opportunities or the ways their employers recognize and value their contributions.
The idea that one is meant to be happy and fulfilled at work is a relatively modern one, dating to management theories of the 1920s and 1930s. And it has always been counterbalanced by the fact that, if not for the need to earn a living, many people would ditch their jobs in a moment for an opportunity to follow a passion or simply relax. Remember the old saw, "I'd rather be fishing"?
It's not just that employers want their workers to love them – it's also that satisfied workers demonstrate better performance, which in broader terms means higher productivity and a fatter bottom line. One well-regarded study from 2002 found that businesses with high engagement had profits 1% to 4% higher than businesses with mostly disengaged workers.
The APA survey found that Americans who feel valued at work are more likely to say they're motivated to work hard and recommend their company to others. But one bracing finding from the poll: Only 52% of working Americans say they feel valued by their employers.
On a side note, the survey also found evidence of frustration among women about the persistent pay gap. While 48% of total respondents said they're satisfied with their monetary compensation, the numbers split dramatically when viewed by gender, with 42% of women expressing satisfaction versus 54% of men.
But there are signs of progress on the gender-at-work front: nearly equal proportions of men and women—60% for men and 58% for women—say they are satisfied with the work-life balance practices offered by employers.

CHARLESTON - Camden Clark Medical Center is among 15 West Virginia hospitals approved for rate increases for 2013.
The West Virginia Health Care Authority approved the rate increases, which affect people with private insurance and those who pay out of their own pocket.
In Parkersburg, Camden Clark received approval for a 4.74 percent increase. Other raises range from as low as 1.24 percent at Bluefield Regional Medical Center to as high as 8.7 percent at Fairmont General Hospital.
Tim Brunicardi, director of marketing and public affairs for Camden Clark, said, "The Health Care Authority compares costs and charges of similar types of hospitals in the state and approved our requested increase based on that criteria." "Camden Clark made a routine request of a 4.74 percent increase to help cover rising costs."
Hospital administrators call the increases routine.
"It basically allows hospitals to keep up with rising costs on the other end," said Dale Witte, spokesman for Charleston Area Medical Center. "We think it's reasonable."
The other rate hikes include:
* 4.3 percent at CAMC
* 3.6 percent at CAMC Teays Valley in Hurricane
* 6 percent at West Virginia University Hospitals
* 4.25 percent at United Hospital Center in Bridgeport
* 4.75 percent at Raleigh General Hospital in Beckley
* 6.5 percent at Summersville Regional Hospital
* 4.58 percent at City Hospital in Martinsburg
* 5.09 percent at Ohio Valley Medical Center in Wheeling
* 5.25 percent at Williamson Memorial Hospital
* 4.24 percent at Logan Regional Hospital
* 6.97 percent at Greenbrier Valley Medical Center in Ronceverte
* 4.75 percent at Davis Memorial Hospital in Elkins.

24. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates?
Questions of God and afterlife aside, what I would _really_ like to hear is "Go back! There's still so much work to do."
I grew up thinking rest in heaven was the reward for a life well lived: eternal communion with God, angels, saints, and other souls.
But I don't want to rest. I want to be here, helping other people. Wikipedia's entry on the Buddhist bodhisattva has a very beautiful thought:
"If I know how to swim, and even one other being cannot, then it is right to remain behind in this world to assist them until they know how to save themselves from drowning."
Perhaps saints can intercede, but it seems awfully difficult to become one, and their influence seems rather indirect. As imperfect as I am, I can still do something to make this world better.
So if we really don't just blink out at the moment of our passing - and I'm fine with that idea, too - I'd like to be reincarnate, please. Whether it's going to be like Groundhog Day, just trying to get _one_ life right, or whether I wake up some other time (and maybe even some other species!), it'll be fine. I want to be here, helping.
Even if there is no afterlife, I remain comforted by the idea that somewhere down the line will be someone like me. Is that not then a form of immortality?

1. More about credit cards
Chargecards.ca has the goods on credit cards in Canada. Check out the list of student-friendly credit cards for no-fee low-minimum-income no-credit-history-needed deals.
If you're an international student, though, searching for a credit card is a frustrating experience. Under "Perfect for students!" and "Low interest rate!" signs, you'll find "Must be a Canadian resident." It isn't entirely fair how the Canadian government gets to consider you a resident for tax purposes but you don't get any of the resident perks, but that's life.
Don't give up, though! Some banks are at least aware of the predicament of international students. Calling up the International Student Centre yielded this quick tip:
Apply for the TD Canada Trust card at the Bay and Bloor branch (77 Bay Street, a short walk from campus). Don't forget to bring:
- passport
- study permit
- confirmation of address: rental agreement, phone bill, etc.
- proof of enrollment: status letter, etc.
- deposit (at least CAD 1000)
This still leaves me stranded because I'm not actually officially enrolled yet, but hey, at least other people can use the tip.
As long as you use a credit card responsibly, it's a great way to build credit history. It's a heck of a lot more convenient than cash--in fact, a little too convenient sometimes. Take care of that shiny new piece of plastic!

More Information about T.Rextasy Tickets
On stage 9.00pm
1977 - 2012
On 16 September 1977 the world lost one of it's most original, flamboyant and charismatic rock'n'roll stars. Marc Bolan's life was cut short after that fateful early morning car accident which would end his life - he was still only 29 years old. Although Bolan released many successful singles and albums throughout the 1970s, two songs epitomise Bolan's status as the 'King of Glam' – 'Telegram Sam' (which sold 500,000 copies within the first two days of release), and 'Metal Guru', both of which were included on the iconic album in 1972 called 'The Slider'. Later in the year, on 8 September 1972, one of his most memorable and distinctive records that would inspire future generations was also released, entitled 'Children of the Revolution'. 40 years on, the song has become legendary, along with the name Marc Bolan….
T.Rextasy have now been gigging around the world for 20 years, a career that ironically out lives Marc's very own T.Rex. The band are now accepted as the world's only official live tribute band dedicated to Marc Bolan & T.Rex, and the only band endorsed and approved by Marc Bolan's family, estate, original ex-members of T.Rex, and Bolan's catalogue management. Due to their passion, musical ability, longevity, and attention to detail, they are consistently described by many as 'beyond the boundaries of tribute'.
They have, with their 'Marc Bolan' doppelganger lead singer/lead guitarist, Danielz, signed with Columbia Records, Madman Records, and Liberation DVD, won the accolade of 'Best Live Tribute Band in the UK on BBC1, and performed at the original Billy Elliot premiere party, filmed for 'Arena' on BBC TV. Over the years they have toured around the world from Europe to Japan and have performed at many Arena venues in the UK (such as Wembley Arena, and Birmingham's NEC). They have played alongside many of the 1970s original contemporaries such as Wizzard, Cockney Rebel, Slade, Sweet, and Ian Hunter, to name a few. In September 2007 they played to 40,000 at the BBC Proms Night at London's Hyde Park, and later headlined their own sell-out concert at the Shepherds Bush Empire with their special guests including Marc Almond (Soft Cell), Gloria Jones (Marc's girlfriend songwriter/singer), and Shakin' Stevens.
The band have also accepted invitations from ex-members of T.Rex such as Mickey Finn (original percussionist), Marc's son Rolan Bolan, and Bowie/Bolan producer Tony Visconti, to play alongside them in past special anniversary concerts. Dino Dines (original keyboardist), a long serving member of T.Rex even joined T.Rextasy and remained with them until sadly passing away a few years ago…the list goes on…
Expect T.Rextasy to play all of Bolan's biggest hits, such as 'Ride a White Swan', 'Jeepster', 'Telegram Sam', 'New York City', 'Debora', 'Teenage Dream', 'Hot Love', '20th Century Boy', 'The Groover', 'I Love To Boogie', 'Get It On', and of course 'Telegram Sam', 'Metal Guru', and 'Children of the Revolution'. The band plays totally live without the aid of any backing tracks, recreating the music, performance and excitement of those heady and outrageous times of glam rock.
Truly a rock'n'roll concert for all ages - if you would like to know exactly what a Marc Bolan concert was like in the 1970s, this gig is for you!
T.Rextasy – awarded the accolade of 'The Best Live Tribute Band in the UK' by BBC1 TV.
'They're the closest you're ever going to get to the real thing'
- Bill Legend (original T.Rex drummer)
'T.Rextasy are the tribute act who break all the rules by being bloody brilliant. Danielz is an exact replica of Marc, he's uncanny.
- The Independent on Sunday
'Danielz is a curator of Bolan's life, a perfectionist protector of the legacy – T.Rextasy play with a poignant, flamboyant skill.'
- The Observer
"Danielz looks and sounds uncannily like Bolan and has dedicated his life to the man" – The Times
"Danielz is more than a career lookalike. Here we have a serious guitarist with the animal grace of early Bolan and the clear unequivocal love of the music"
– The Stage
"Danielz just freaks me out!"
– Mickey Finn (original T.Rex percussionist)

BARLOW - Since 2006, the Barlow Area Christmas in the Village has grown from an event that attracted 20 vendors to an event stretching from Barlow to Cutler to Little Hocking.
Susie Ashley, founder, said Saturday's event attracted 137 vendors at Barlow-Vincent Elementary School, one of the venues.
"This is our seventh year and we have 137 vendors," she said. "We have wood crafters who will personalize items for you, homemade noodles, kettle apple butter, fudge and pretzels, purses and glassware."

JEFFREY SAULTON Special to the Times
Linda Jobes, of Parkersburg, works on a necklace she made at the Barlow Area Christmas in the Village.
Ashley said the events also featured several home-based businesses.
Garnett and Carl Stephens were showing glass from their daughter, Rhonda Mathers' business, Fox Fired Glass. They said their daughter makes her crafts from layers of glass that are fused together and melted.
"She retired from the military two years ago," said Carl Stephens. "She buys the glass in sheets and then cuts and forms it and fires it in a kiln."
Among items she makes are plates, trays and card holders.
Angie Haught was selling her primitive-style crafts at the fair on Saturday. Haught said her crafts have been an off-and-on thing for her over the past 20 years.
"I just got back into in the last 20 years," she said. "We make all seasons, all year long."
Haught said Christmas is one of the big selling times for crafts.
John McCrady, of TJ Leather in Parkersburg, has been leatherworking since he was 10 years old.
"My father picked up for rehabilitation after he was in the navy and I picked it up, earned a leatherworking merit badge as a Boy Scout," he said, adding he and his wife returned to making appearances at area shows after their children grew.
Ashley said organizers hope to see the Christmas in the Village grow more next year by adding more areas to the event.

Lansing --- Crime is up in Lansing. That's according to FBI statistics. City officials say Lansing is still safe and they're working to keep it that way. But, impending layoffs could put that safety in jeopardy.
From 2009 to 2010 crime jumped across multiple categories: violent crime, rape, robbery, motor vehicle theft, to list just a few. But perhaps the biggest jump was in property crime and larcenies. Property crime increased by 7.5 percent and larcenies, 8.3 percent.
"The trend is concerning but crime is relatively low in Lansing and that's how we want to keep it," said Captain Ray Hall of the Lansing Police Department.
But with cuts to police looming and taking some officers off the street, it begs the question -- how long will Lansing stay "safe"?
"The best way to improve safety is to get neighbors involved," said Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero. "It's about neighbors looking after neighbors."
Paul Johns has taken the mayor's advice. He's president of the Moores Park Neighborhood Organization.
"As neighbors we're always looking out for one another. If I hear a scream, I'm going to go check it out," said Johns.
He's committed to his neighborhood and to a responsibility that may grow as resources get cut.
"We're concerned as citizens that we may not have what we need but we haven't had a problem yet and I think we will continue to adapt."
Captain Hall says there are a variety of reasons for why Lansing has seen an uptick in crime.
"The more dangerous drugs are out on the street, the unemployment rate is impacting, the economy is impacting, a lot of people are struggling and with that, some will make bad choices and some are desperate."
In spite of layoffs, some say the city will not give up.
"We're not waving the white flag, we're not turning the city over," said Bernero.
"The resources may be less but we'll adapt," said Johns.
The number of police layoffs depends on concessions at this point. The mayor tells News Ten that those negotiations are on-going even though some layoff notices have already gone out.

SAN JOSE -- For their daughter's entire life, Jim and Victoria Showman labored tirelessly to help with her severe bipolar disorder. The work went right up until the final minutes.
Jim Showman's last words to 19-year-old Diana came Aug. 14 in an early-morning phone call: He reminded her to take her psychiatric medication.
The same morning, Victoria Showman was talking with the intake director at San Andreas Regional Center in hopes of enrolling her daughter for services aimed at helping developmentally disabled people live independently. She needed a document from her husband, and he took a break from his job as a systems engineer to go back to the Blossom Hill Road duplex where his daughter lived with him.
His path was blocked by police cars. What he didn't know until hours later was that Diana was mortally wounded by a police officer during a confrontation on busy Blossom Hill Road. As the Showmans struggle with her death, they are also questioning whether the shooting was necessary, and why police wouldn't let them be by her side in her final moments.
Jim Showman was whisked away to San Jose police headquarters and led to an interview room. Victoria soon followed. Police refused to tell them what happened to Diana.
"I told them, 'What you're doing is cruel. We don't know if our daughter's alive,' " Jim Showman said in an interview with this newspaper.
He got to the shooting scene at 10:30 a.m. Diana Showman was pronounced dead about 12:30 p.m.
Her parents would not find out for another hour.
"This was wrong, not (being) able to see our daughter in her dying minutes," Victoria Showman said.
Police are sympathetic to their plight, but contend that investigative protocols would have prevented the parents from being at Diana Showman's bedside even if they had gone directly to the hospital. A spokeswoman said the wounded woman's room became part of the crime scene, and had to be secured.
"Once it's determined that someone has life-threatening injuries or might die, the room is sealed," Sgt. Heather Randol said. "We know this is a horrible situation for the family. But it's important we preserve the integrity of the investigation and follow these procedures."
But for Jim and Victoria Showman, who broke their silence Tuesday, it compounded the pain of spending nearly two decades watching their daughter struggle with her affliction, then reach the cusp of a once-unimaginable independent adulthood just as her life ended.
"The way this was handled was not the right way in dealing with a family who lost a child," said Steven Clark, a well-known local attorney representing the Showman family.
Diana Showman was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when she was just five years old, the Showmans said. While struggling privately and having to cope with an ever-changing array of medications -- up to eight at the time of her death -- she thrived in school, they said, playing softball and graduating from Leigh High School last year.
On the morning she died, Diana Showman called 911 and reportedly told emergency dispatchers she had an Uzi and was going to shoot her family. But nobody else was home.
According to police and witnesses -- some of whom captured the encounter on cellphone video -- Showman emerged from her home with an item in each hand, and at some point dropped one of the items on a grassy berm. But she kept a large black item -- later revealed to be a black-painted cordless drill -- in one hand and continued toward the officers, defying their orders to drop it. As she got close to Officer Wakana Okuma, the officer fired a single shot.
As it happens, Okuma, a 13-year department veteran, was one of a battery of SJPD officers who had undergone what is known as Crisis Intervention Team training, which focuses on mental-health response.
It's a tough situation for everyone involved, local mental-health experts said, trying to balance a potential threat and assessing whether it's legitimate or a mental-health crisis, perhaps both.
The grieving parents are convinced that she was never a threat.
"Part of her disability is she had poor impulse control and didn't always understand the consequences of her actions," her mother said.
Jim Showman also dismissed the notion that his daughter's death was a "suicide by cop" scenario.
"When I saw the video, she was not committing suicide. She was looking for attention," he said.
That the video, widely viewed online, and the cordless drill have become the lasting symbols of what happened that day is something the Showmans -- Diana's mother, father and two brothers -- want to change. To them, her bipolar disorder and the shooting should be a footnote in the memory of the vibrant, fearless and athletic woman they memorialized Friday with nearly 300 family and friends.
They'll remember the Diana Showman who was an ace baseball player, occupying third base in Little League and later women's softball, both as a teen and adult. They'll think about how she reveled in working for several years with special-needs children.
"She put herself out there in so many ways. She was a delight," Victoria Showman said. "She was our baby and we loved her. We miss her every day."

SAN FRANCISCO -- Jason Kilar, the architect and chief executive of the Hulu video service, said Friday that he is leaving the Santa Monica-based company.
In an email to the staff Friday, Kilar said he planned to leave the business he has led for more than five years and that he expects to depart early this year.
Hulu -- once derided as ClownCo -- has grown to be one of the leading sources for online video, generating more than $700 million a year in revenue. However, it continues to be hamstrung by divisions between its investor owners, primarily News Corp. and Walt Disney.
"Some brave souls that were willing to look past the many naysayers and ClownCo moniker jumped aboard and got about the business of innovating and building," Kilar wrote in his email to employees, which also was posted on Hulu's blog. "Five and a half years later, thanks to the missionary work of this amazing 600+ worldwide team and courageous, prescient partners, we are fortunate to have collectively built a culture that matters, a brand that matters, a business that matters."
Indeed, Hulu's revenues have grown dramatically from a few hundred thousand dollars in 2007, and it has generated more than $1 billion for content partners since the launch of its beta in October 2007.
But the online distributor appears to be losing money as it invests in original online series and additional television content for its Hulu Plus subscription service.
Disney, which owns a one-third stake in the venture, reported that Hulu lost money during the entertainment giant's fiscal year, which ended Sept. 29, 2012. News Corp. and NBCUniversal each own equal stakes.
Kilar's departure comes at a time when Hulu faces intensified competition from online distributors Netflix (NFLX) and Amazon, which have been spending millions or dollars to secure digital rights to movies and television series and to produce original shows.
He leaves Hulu after employees collected a one-time bonus for their work building the service. The venture handed out about $134 million -- mostly in equity-based compensation -- in October, when Hulu redeemed Providence Equity Partner's 10 percent equity interest in the venture for $200 million, according to Disney's financial report.
Kilar and Hulu did not respond to requests seeking comment.

During this year's Carnival season, TARC was accepted by every Houma Mardi Gras krewe to implement our bead donation truck and trailer at the end of each parade.
Through the kindness of our local krewes, our bead donation truck and trailer were able to collect over 80,000 pounds of Mardi Gras beads.
Through this incredible outpouring of community support, these beads will be able to provide jobs for our individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities for the entire year.
Our workers in the Buy-U Beads business recycle the beads by sorting, packaging and reselling to local customers.
Upon arriving after the Mardi Gras holidays, the Buy-U Beads workers were shown the storage space for these 75 containers.
They were all very excited and very appreciative to be able to have meaningful work all year long.
I am happy to report that TARC continues creating opportunities through your support.
Supporting TARC by your purchases or donations for our bead business or thrift store business, Cedar Chest Boutique, helps us offset state and federal budget cuts.
We appreciate you thinking of us throughout the year.
If you are interested in buying any of our beads, you can contact Buy-U Beads at 223-7395 or Monica Chauvin at 876-4465.
Thank you again for your support.
We look forward to seeing you at the parades next year.

I'm not a big fan of New Years resolutions, but I do like to reflect on the past year. As I look back I am proud of myself that I finnally completed the C25K and ran several 5k's and have my sights on a 10k. I will never forget how great it felt to see my then 4 year old daughter waiting for me as I crossed my first finish line. That feeling of accomplishment and the smile on her face keeps me going.
Please share and celebrate your highlights/accomplishments from 2011 and help inspire for an even greater 2012.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy holiday season.

"Flying Pig Half Marathon" Cincinnati, OH (May 2013)
Congratulations!! That is so awesome!!
I am so insanely happy to say that as of right now I've lost 51lbs!! I started the couch to 5k and am running 3 miles now!! I am doing my first 5K Run on New Years Day and I am so proud to even be able to do it!! And in order to keep me going I entered another 5K Race in May of 2012 and then I am hoping to do a 10K Race in September in my Hometown!!
I have not run in 9 years (since my sophomore year of High School) and at this time last year I probably couldn't even run for 60 seconds straight!
1/1/2012 - Very First 5K EVER!! - 5K Resolution Run - 34:01
Congratulations to all, you have much to be proud of!
Last year at this time I could barely run 1.5 minutes; this past weekend I ran for 1.5 hours. I had never run before, except freshman year gym class in high school. I started in Nov of 2010 using a program similar to Couch to 5k, ran/walked my first 5k in April, and have done 3 more 5k's plus a 10k since then. My long run last Sunday was 7 miles - a new milestone for me!
New Year's Color Run (5k) - 01/01/13
Oshkosh Half-Marathon - 04/21/13
Congratulations to ALL. I never ran in my life or was very active. My life consisted of work, work & work some more. Then share some great family time. Last year i started walking . I lost 40 + lbs. I then started getting serious and realized what I've been missing my whole life, Ran a few 5 & 10k's. Then I followed Hal Higdons Half Marathon novice program. Ran my first in April 2011. My time was 2:50 +. Completed another Sept 2011 in 2:28:00. Ran another in Oct 2011 in 2:18:00. Currently training to run Disney Jan 7th. Goal time 2:08:00. What a difference commitment and training & support make. If I can start at 58yr old ANYBODY CAN DO IT.

Okay, I'll join the bragging. My profile: running for 3 years now, got started to see if I could run a marathon. Did that, struggled with IT band injury that I never thought would go away. Still run pretty low milage (15-20 MPW) and I don't consider myself a runner, but I might have to reconsider that given the goals that I reached in 2011.
2011 Goals/Accomplishments
Break 20 minute 5k (18:35)
Break 1:35 Half Marathon (1:34:34)
Break 4:00 in Marathon (3:48)
Run first trail race (Did 3: two 10 milers and one half marathon)
Bonus Unanticipated Goal: Run First Relay—Hood to Coast; time not important, it was a blast.
So it seems like I set the bar too low in 2011, I think my goals for 2012 are to run a trail marathon and an ultra.
My inspirational thought: You can accomplish more than you might think. Train with intensity, listen to your body, and most of all, have fun!
Thank you for the wonderful post Stephanie and congratulations on your many accomplishments. I wanted to share something that reminds us all of the emotions felt during a race and especially crossing the finish line. http://theyarecheeringforyourunningfree.blogspot.com/
I have been blessed with many medals and trophies this year, but the greatest achievement is sharing how running can assist in overcoming physical and mental challenges. I wish for everyone many healthy, happy and productive miles in the New Year!
I started running in August 2010 and ran my first marathon this year. Disappointed with my time (4:08) but proud to have done it.
For next year I'm planning at least 2 half and 2 full marathons.

"Flying Pig Half Marathon" Cincinnati, OH (May 2013)
Just started any exercise on August 29. In September I started trying to run, a challenge! In November I ran/walked my first ever 5K. I've now lost 45 pounds and ready to RUN another 5k.
I'm now hooked on my better/healthier lifestyle and looking forward to 2012!
Coastal Georgia
Its been an amazing year for me as well. I had an incident playing in a band on New Years a year back,
I just got weak and breathless, had to sit down for a while, it worried me so I gave in and saw my doctor...
was nothing horrible, i was overweight, high blood pressure, the usual 50ish couch potatoe
So... I started cycling, thru the spring and summer, and changed my diet, by October I rode my
first century. Next year I hope to do Cycle Oregon.
With the chilly weather setting in I decided to work on running and weights, as of today I've finished
5 weeks of the c25k, plan to run a formal 5K in Feb/Mar timeframe.
Have lost 40lbs, and feel great, and hope 2012 brings more of the same.
Best wishes in the new year!
I started running in 2009 and was happy to be able to run 1 mile without stopping. This year, I ran my first marathon and qualified for Boston (3:39:54). I am will be 56 next month. I also set a PR in half marathon this year at 1:38:22.
My plans for 2012 are to run the Boston Marathon and compete in a 70.3 Ironman Triathlon.
Managed to finish all the races I entered this year!
I feel biggest accomplishment is not wondering if I can finish a 1/2 marathon but now which one(s) do I want to do next year. Far cry from my start 4 years ago with a 45 min 5k.
I also rode my first century this year...now all I need to do is a tri!
Happy New Year to all
races in 2013 - Always trying to keep moving

I got pregnant when I first came here and then started the c25k in August 2010. I still run 3 to 4 days a week
Congratulations Everybody! You are all so fierce! I feel so fortunate to be among you.
I turned 62 in January 2011 and never even considered I could run, just wished I could. After my daughter and a friend posted about C25k on fb and a second friend said I could do it, I gave it a try. That was the hardest part, getting started. Since May, I finished that, trained myself to 5k, ran a mud race, two trail races and a bunch of other 5ks, completed my first 10k and recovered from my first injury. I finally feel like a jogger. My goal this year is to run the Flying Pig HM, hopefully meet Stephanie there, and have fun this summer repeating those races that gave me such a hard time this year. Happy New Year to you all!

Running: Started 5/6/2011; Graduated C25k - 7/21/11; Graduated B210k - 11/24/11;
PRs: 5k - 36:42; 8k - 1:10; 4.15 m - 53.41; 10k - 1:18; HM - 2:56:31
I may be slow but I'm persistant.
Goals: 5k under 30 min.; HM under 2 hr.; AG award in the USAF HM! and one full marathon.
It won't be easy but it will be worth it!
I decided back in August that I was going to run a 5k for my 40th birthday on December 10th. I got two friends who are runners to committ to running with me. I couldn't find a local race (MN) on my birthday so my friends and I decided to make our own, unofficial race. The next day I severely sprained my ankle. I literally had done W1D1 and the next day was out for 2 months! In October I started the C25K again. THis is not my first attempt at the C25k, but this is so far my most successful.
Since October I have made it to W5D2. I am a 200+ pound runner and extremely slow. I have had a few shin issues along the way so my pace through the plan has not bothered me. I feel so much stronger with where I am at than I have in the past.
So back to my birthday race. Since we were making our own race, I decided to invite more people to join us. I sent out FB announcements and emails. One of my friend's suggested a starting and ending point along the Mississippi River in St. Paul with access to his condo lobby as a warming house for those who weren't running or had already finished. I made number that said Pam's 40th 5k run for everyone and participant medals/Christmas ornaments for everyone.
The day dawned the coldest of the season at 6 degrees with several inches of snow on the ground. 20 people braved the cold to run or walk the 5k route on a beautiful sunny December morning. My mom, both brothers, a niece, a nephew, and a bunch of my crazy friends all ran and walked it with me. One friend who has run 10 miles and half marathons stuck with me the whole way challenging me to run "light pole to next tree" and the like. (I was having too much fun talking to friends and enjoying the pretty mornign and kept forgetting to run my intervals!)
I didn't run the whole way, but I finished in less time that I had been doing on the treadmill and had so much fun. My sister in law, also not a runner, had so much fun that we are going to run a 5k again on New Year's Day. Again it will be one of our own making, but we are doing it nonetheless. That New Year's Day run should be W6D1. We'll see how it goes.
Happy New Year everyone and keep running!

When attempting to view any folders I get a constant DNLA 2114 error. I cannot figure out what is happening. About 10% of the time the error will persist but the folders will become viewable and accessable, files are then viewable and playable. But most of the time I cannot access the folder contents.
I copied my debug log here: http://www.mediafire.com/?kje94psvx2pwdk4
I assume this is some weird networking error, but I can figure out what it is. Thanks.

As we walk through the landscape of the Italian Lake District, we'll understand how remarkable natural beauty has met with a magical serenity in a marriage rare and wonderful. Along the way, we'll savor the acclaimed wine, cheese, and cuisine of Piedmont, share lunch at a local farm, watch the sun set on Lake Maggiore during dinner on picturesque Isola dei Pescatori, and ride a cable car to the top of Mount Mottarone for a thrilling panorama, and so much more.

Most of the playback is fine, but when it comes to scenes with a lot of details I get lagging.
i5-2400 @ 3.1GHz
nvidia GTX680 (if that's related)
router: Netgear dgn2200v2, N capable.
from testing, looks like the WIFI reception in the PS3 location is very good.
Network speed is 25-27Mb/s (from the Status tab > Current Bitrate)
tried setting max bandwidth to 25 and 20 - no change
I switched from MEncoder engine to VLC Video (VLC 1.0.8) and the lagging improved, BUT not enough.
What else can I do?

As a wife and the mother of two children, it's imperative that Dar Williams restrains herself from spending too much time lounging in the creative space inside her head.
"I'm left-handed, so I'm very right-brained. I could live in this highly associative, spaced-out place and, you know, forget to function," she said.
Instead, she most of the time strives to pick up her kids on time, keep to a schedule, find the right hotel and do the hundreds of other little things that life requires.
"It feels really good when life works and when you're doing all of your little jobs, cleaning out the drawers and such," she said. "You keep on looking around and going 'wow, I'm such a grown-up.'"
But when it's time for Williams to write songs, she puts away her organized self and, as she puts it, courts her muse.
"I put myself in that creative space, surrounded by works of people who also value creative space," she said. "You actually need to create time where you pull things apart and you're interested in them, more than at work on them. I'm looking forward to getting to Beaver Creek, walking around and seeing if the muse will come back."
Williams performs at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek on Jan. 9. Though she visited the area, and the theater, a few summers ago after playing a show in Denver with Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jan. 9 will mark her first time performing locally.
"We loved it," she said. "We sent our daughter up a rock walk and our son on the bungee jumping and we saw the theater. It was great."
For Kris Sabel, the executive director of the Vilar Center, booking Williams was an easy choice.
"When you read the reviews for some of Dar's most successful venues on her tour - like the Ark in Ann Harbor, or the Aladdin Theater in Portland - it is clear that her greatest success comes in small, intimate venues where she can really connect with the audience both during and in between songs," Sabel said. "Similar to what we offer in the fall with our Underground Sound Series, this is another one of those concerts that is perfect for our venue and will give you an experience you can't get in every hall."
He describes Williams' music as "confessional folk songwriting.
"Dar Williams is a great choice for fans of Ani Difranco, Shawn Colvin or Catie Curtis," Sabel said. "Her music is upbeat and catchy, with the brilliance and spunk you would expect from a folk singer. She pairs this with hints of blues, jazz, rock and pop, with a hint of ache in her voice that keeps her sound unique."
Williams released her ninth studio album, "In The Time Of Gods," in April 2012. It was produced by Kevin Killen (who has worked with U2, Elvis Costello and Peter Gabriel, among others). The album explores many of today's most challenging social issues juxtaposed against the parables of Greek mythology.
"It has to do with civilization as we are reckoning with epic events," Williams said. "And also being in my 40s, how do I reckon with being a citizen and having power in civilizations? In your 20s, you're like 'Someone should do this.' When you're 40, it changes. I have friends running for office. Friends who are heads of companies. Friends who live in the backwoods and have no running water. People have made big decisions about how to live their lives.
"While technically the lens of this album is looking back at the sort of epic Greek myths I grew up with, there is something very modern about how we wrestle with our pride and power and loyalties when the stakes are high - hurricanes and blizzards and filibusters."
Despite "all of the drama and real life to deal with," Williams remains optimistic, she said.
"There are many ways in which we are, I think, a beautiful, flawed civilization," Williams said. "I feel committed to that, and that's the environment in which I wrote the album."

Right now with the Mac beta, the only thing I cannot play is FLAC music files. The Onkyo can play FLAC directly off hard drives and USB memory sticks. According to the Onkyo manual, these are the AVR supported Audio Files: MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC. Can't figure out why FLAC files are not transcoded, but hopefully a custom config file set to output or transcode to WAV, will work for FLAC music files.

NEWS: 03- Feb 2013 Sites GetDeb.net, PlayDeb.net and repository up again, from G+
Fortunately, we did have an up-to-date backup of the old server at the end. The last days I was busy to get everything set up. The sites are up again and you should be able to browse the packages (none should be lost) as well as to use the repository as usual. If you have problems be sure that "dig screenshots.getdeb.net" outputs "184.108.40.206"
A sad day indeed for many users of the .deb format, 2 of my favourites repositories getdeb and playdeb are now closed forever (?), this is the message posted on G+ by their author:
After the server crash where also the GetDeb and PlayDeb database was lost and given the fact that GetDeb and PlayDeb now have too many packages to be handled as a one-man-project I decided to discontinue GetDeb and PlayDeb.
In the last years I have spent so many hours in the project that now it is just too much for me to maintain beside my usual job.
But this does not mean that all the work in GetDeb and PlayDeb is lost.

Etowah pizzeria robber nabbed
Published: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 12:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 12:21 p.m.
Authorities arrested an Etowah man Saturday and charged him with robbing Blue Ridge Pizza Company in Etowah Friday night.
Nathaniel Adams Price, 33, of 267 Erwin Hills Drive, was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon after being arrested around 10 p.m. Saturday.
The suspect entered Blue Ridge Pizza Company around 9:27 p.m. wearing a "camo pullover to obscure his face, brandished a handgun at employees and demanded money," said Maj. Frank Stout of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
Four employees handed over about $1,400 in cash to the robber, who fled in an unknown direction. About 10 minutes later, a person matching the suspect's description was seen at another store in the area. Within 45 minutes, officers from the Sheriff's Office had identified the suspect as Price and secured warrants for his arrest, Stout said.
No employee or patron of Blue Ridge Pizza was harmed during the robbery, Stout said.
Price remains in the Henderson County Detention Facility in lieu of $60,000 bond.

Editors Note: This is the second installment of a Tribune "Learn To" series in recognition of Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month, a national grassroots initiative.
Wearing what looks like blue dishwashing gloves, Mark "Spicolli" Montgomery sends it off a 30-foot kicker.
It's a decent sized jump for any rider, but Montgomery is doing it on a snowskate. Those "dishwashing gloves" he's wearing are actually insulated crab fishing gloves that happen to have awesome grip for that oh-so-important landing.
It looks insane, but Montgomery swears it's not.
"It's just a mental thing. It's the whole aspect of not being attached to the board that people think is so much harder, but really it's not," Montgomery said. "Once you get past it, you totally forget that you're not attached to the thing."
Montgomery and his friends didn't single-handedly bring snowskating to Lake Tahoe, but they are among the pioneers. They're among guys like Danny Sheehan, who created Ralston Snowskates, and Pat Quinn, who is a South Shore snowskating legend. These guys have been on the scene for nearly a decade, and have some good advice and entertaining stories to share with up-and-comers. -
"Once you figure out what's going on and what to avoid, it really is pretty safe," Quinn said. "A couple times on the hill, and that was it. I was hooked."
Snowskating comes to Tahoe
Montgomery was making snowboards for Lib Tech in 2002 when a snowskate prototype was dropped in his lap. Lib Tech was looking to get into the snowskate business, and guys like Montgomery could help.
"I thought it was a complete joke at first until I actually went out and rode one," Montgomery said. "We just needed to make some subtle improvements to make it more comfortable."
Skateboards are meant for flat, smooth concrete while snowskates are like bombing a hill with lots of bumps. So Montgomery and his fellow Lib Tech crew set about making bigger and better skis for the bottom of their snowskates, and tweaking the sidecuts to see what worked best.
Meanwhile, down in South Lake, Sheehan and Quinn were also getting into snowskating.
Sheehan turned to snowskating after he broke his leg on a skateboard, and could no longer put on a snowboard boot. He brought his friend Quinn along for the ride, and the timing was perfect.
"I've been a ski bum my whole life, and basically, I was just ready for a change from snowboarding," Quinn said. "It was getting to the point where, if I wasn't going out and hitting an 80-foot jump, it was just boring, and then you're risking your neck."
Snowskating 101
Learning to snowskate looks intimidating, but both Montgomery and Quinn said the learning curve is similar to snowboarding. It just takes getting past not being strapped in.
"When you ride a bike once you take the training wheels of that bike's a lot more fun to ride," Montgomery said. "It's just a comfort thing."
Going strapless can even be a benefit for beginners. When they catch an edge, beginners can jump off or sit down instead of being slammed into the ground by their equipment.
Same principle holds true in the park and the powder.
"If you come off the lip wrong on skis or a snowboard you're kind of at the mercy of gravity," Quinn said. "On a snowskate if you come off the lip and it's wrong you just kind of fly through the air and get your feet under you and slide."
There's also a freedom to not being attached and gliding through the powder, Montgomery said. No sore ankles or feet, and digging out of powder is much more manageable.
"Riding powder unstrapped just blows your mind," Montgomery said. "You don't catch your edge and scorpion or face plant. If you catch your edge you just kind of slide out on your knees. It gives you freedom."
Getting on the lift isn't bad either. Snowskaters simply walk up and sit down, but they do have to ride off. There's no strapping in. Just jump on the board and go, which saves beginners a ton of energy in the getting up and down department.
And as the sport continues to progress, so does the equipment.
Trucks, decks and skis - everything on a snowskate is now interchangeable. The ski attached to the bottom can be swapped out for a short park ski, a medium cruising ski or a long powder ski.
The big-nosed powder ski and elevated riding platform lets snowskaters mob in the trees. Quinn takes his in the backcountry and said he floats fine on a 136.
"Yeah, pretty much once you figure it out you can ride powder and not be strapped in it's a game changer," Quinn said. "It's just taken a little while to catch on."
Don't get these guys wrong. They're not saying beginners won't take their lumps. They're just saying the new challenge and freedom of going strapless makes those lumps worth it.
Fast forward
Hanging out with Montgomery and his friends in the lift line is like hanging out with celebrities. Everyone is gaping at the snowskates, and questions are flying at the guys.
"Can you kickflip?" a kid asks Montgomery.
Montgomery obliges. He's used to fielding these questions.
It's pretty obvious the sport has potential to grow, but Quinn and Montgomery don't think it will happen overnight.
"Right now everyone just wants to push it and improve the sport," Montgomery said. "Everyone is talking about going bigger. Everything that snowboarders do, we pretty much figure we can do and are doing."
But Montgomery thinks it will take something like an X Games appearance to really launch snowskating.
In the meantime, the Tahoe snowskaters are doing their part to educate and continue to push boundaries.
"Hopefully every mountain will open up to it, and maybe someday we'll have a mountain that's snowskate-only," Montgomery said.

Hey there's a couple of Wines of Washington team members in Bike Hugger Shirts playing bike polo! From Fred Soo Photography.
Pushing helmet camera technology even further is Twenty20, a fellow Seattle-based company. As I noted last year, helmet cams have come a long way since the Late Night Monkey-Cam and I've been getting asked lately about how we shoot videos on the bike. I'm actually (and surprisingly) using a Casio Exilim that shoots 30 mins of MPEG4 at 640x480 (available on Amazon.com). For web videos it works really well and steadies the shots with a fast shutter speed.
One drawback to the Casio method is that I'm holding it in one hand and that can get sketch in traffic or with a heavy load on Bettie.
Listened to this great story about biking to work from NPR on Sunday.
"We've been adding bike lanes, we've been adding bike racks," he said. As for a two-wheeled commute, he added: "You don't get quite the same feeling in a car."
Also noticed on Friday this TRAFFIC ALERT: The state Department of Transportation is reporting a three-car accident on northbound I-5 near the Kent-Des Moines Road. The accident is on the right shoulder of the road and the distraction is backing up traffic further then usual this morning.
No backups on the bike path.
A bike taxi, presumed from Thailand, outside a store in Pioneer Square in Seattle.
A frequent site in the South Lake Union district of Seattle. That's condos being built on both sides of the road with cyclists doing their best to find a way through all the construction.

It always has been a missing feature: disabling the sleep mode on a Apple Laptop. Who does not want to use it as a big juke-box or go warwalking. The best looking server ever, especially at about one inch height. This small utility is what you will want, this small utility acts as a wrapper to the Insomnia kernel extension.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: lid , sleep , insomniac , insomnia , utilities , system , utility
10 Opinions
It doesn't have a fancy GUI, but InsomniaT works a lot better. It doesn't prevent sleep due to low battery like InsomniaX does, and it automatically switches off the display.
about the safety concerns: - as others here have said - generally all powerbooks and macbook pros were designed to be able to operate with closed lid (it's a feature: if you connect an external display, an external mouse and an external keyboard and close the lid they will not sleep; rtfm!). a small warning: don't know about the late 2008 notebooks and onward, though. just be careful with your ibooks and macbooks - the pricey hardware should be safe, even the 12" version (which is what i use).
@iammike : worksforme?
only thing that troubles me is that this application is no more under active development, see http://semaja2.net/archives/160 - sigh.
It is safe as long as you don't use it in a hot environment and you aren't doing any terribly heavy processing. I use it every once in a while to play with MacSaber. The current version works on leopard by the way.
Not Leopard compatible.
To the people who are worried about their laptops being damaged while running closed:
All MacBooks are officially able to run with their lid closed while a mouse and monitor are plugged into it. This was a feature included by Apple, not a hack- and in addition to this, the system can run at full capacity while doing so.
This program simply let's you do the same thing without a mouse and monitor plugged in.
when i close my lid while running this, upon reopening the lid, my macbook crashes.
Wonderful. It's the only one I've found that works all the time.
As many people will warn you: make sure your laptop is meant to run with the lid closed. Otherwise, closing it may cut off some airflow, and overheat it. I believe all Powerbooks are good for it though.
I'd also recommend keeping processor performance at reduced, to cut down on the heat (just to be safe).
First, check if your model laptop has the option to run with the lid shut while plugged into an external monitor. If so, this should be safe to do.
Can anyone investigate whether this is safe cause this would be an awesome app if it weren't dangerous. I feel like Apple would have included this as an option if it were safe to do.
But has potential to destroy your screen if your computer is running hot.

From 1955 until I graduated in 1959, I was a student at the University of Miami. Those were halcyon years for me, enhanced by Florida's famed bounty of sunshine and warmth. Born and raised in New Jersey, it was a respite from the Garden State's winters, shoveling snow, and enduring the chill.

SARASOTA COUNTY - A man was arrested Thursday after exposing himself to teenage girls swimming at Siesta Public Beach, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
According to a report, a lifeguard told deputies that two 14-year-old girls reported that Tom Petcher, 69, of Hillsboro, Ill., had his swim trunks around his ankles and tried to brush one of the girls' legs with his buttocks. Petcher floated on his back with his genitals exposed as the girls tried to get away and continued to swim toward the two for at least 15 minutes, the report states.
Deputies confronted Petcher as he walked toward the parking lot. He is charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious exhibition.

Most drivers know the importance of oil filters and motor oil. They are what keep your car's engine running smoothly. Transmission filters and fluid on the other hand, are often overlooked. A vehicle's transmission is made up of many different gears that are designed to spin at high speeds. Whether you have a manual or automatic transmission, you'll need fluid inside to keep the gears lubricated at high temperatures. Transmission fluid and engine oil serve a very similar purpose, as do transmission filters and oil filters. The Transmission Filter's main role is to keep the Transmission Fluid clean of any contaminants. These particles may come from the manufacturing process, from when you check fluid levels, or often times are a result of normal wear and tear. Transmission fluid is regularly exposed to extreme temperatures and as a result it can the cause the transmission components to deteriorate. This causes metal flakes and chips from the transmission gears and bushings, and fine fibrous particles from clutch facings will circulate in the fluid. To keep the fluid clean, engineers designed automatic transmission filters to collects any debris.
It is good practice to have a transmission fluid and transmission filter replacement every 20,000 to 25,000 miles. The old fluid will need to be drained, the filter will need to be replaced and the new fluid will need to be put in. Draining the fluid using ordinary tools will extend the life of your transmission, but for a fully cleaned transmission, a licensed mechanic is likely to use a transmission flusher. It's a tool used in repair facilities to flush the transmission completely of any debris before replacing the fluid. Automotive repairs can be costly, but ultimately, the better maintained your car is, the more money you will save in the long run.
