Agree with the two above. I tend to go with a banana and peanut butter about two hours before the race with my morning coffee and some water.

having a hearty dinner the night before is helpful for energy. to wake up my metabolism in the morning before a race, i have one slice of wheat bread with peanut butter and literally 5 swigs of water.
guzzling down water right before a race doesn't do me any favors. it's best if i'm well hydrated days in advance. sometimes, i may eat a small bowl of oatmeal instead of the peanut butter and bread. i have a banana right after the race to help with muscle stiffness.

Most races I will do two pieces of toast with a little peanut butter and banana. Stay away from milk and eggs in the morning.
A bowl of oatmeal or 2 breakfast bars, banana, orange juice or water, 1 1/5 to 2 hrs before the run....it works great for me.
So glad that I found this post! The last 3 races I've run (all 4.4 miles or less), my usual prerace breakfast of an English muffin, peanut butter, banana and a Propel Zero or Vitamin Water has not worked. I've either felt incredibly nauseous around mile 2, or I've had repeating peanut butter episodes (translation: burping) throughout most of the race. I think I'll try some of the other suggestions.
Has anyone had luck with doing a smoothie for breakfast? I was thinking that would be a good way to get some potassium/antioxidants in, and would probably be fairly easy/quick to digest...
I will eat about 2-3 hours prior to racing and what I eat will depend on the length of the race. I will drink one Ensure, eat a PowerBar, 1 piece of toast with peanut butter and banana's on top, 1 cup of coffee and water. Then I will consume 200 calories an hour leading up to the event and stop eating 30 minutes prior to the start of the race.
I primarily race half Ironman and full Ironman events, so this is what gets me going...
Hope this helps!

Not to be to indelicate, but…. Doesn't that much fiber in the morning before a run require, um… elimination.. at some point.
I have not run my first race yet, and it's something I'm a little worried about…
Most of the sites say a carb heavy Dinner, and a Fiber heavy breakfast 2 hours before a race. (still trying to fig out how to eat at 3am for a 5 am run ick)
But wont you need to… use the rest room with all the cab and fiber in your system?
(Please forgive my ignorance)
It's not ignorant. Runner's trots can be a real problem for some people. You just need to experiment and see what works for you. I eat just enough for the engery, but make sure I never feel full.

of course everyone is different, but for me any distance under 7 miles all i have is half of a banana before. I agree with the 'no dairy' before a run
Good luck on your first 5K!!

ABOUT THE AREA: Big Bear Valley is home to about 20,000 residents, including about 5,000 who live in the city of Big Bear Lake, a place instantly recognizable to visitors for its quaint village atmosphere that looks like it could have been time-warped from the 1950s. Until Christopher Dorner, the ex-cop, was believed to have taken refuge there, one of the biggest stories amid the souvenir shops, sports equipment rental outlets and modest family-friendly restaurants was word that the City Council was toughening the sign ordinance. On Sunday evening, the area made the news when a tour bus winding down a mountain road from the town crashed, killing eight.
GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES: Big Bear Lake, with 23 miles of shoreline, sits at an elevation of 6,750 feet.
WEATHER: Unlike Los Angeles, the area has four distinctive seasons. High temperatures can range from the 70s to the 80s during the summer and plunge as low as the 20s in the winter, when snow blankets the area and gives downtown Big Bear Lake a postcard perfect appearance. A powerful snowstorm arrived this week, just after police believe Dorner did, and that could provide him with good cover as authorities search empty summer campgrounds, weekend cabins and frigid mountain trails for him.
WINTER AND SUMMER ACTIVITIES: The area's two major ski resorts offer more than 50 runs between them, all of which were open Friday as authorities looked for Dorner. Public schools were closed. Numerous campgrounds, popular in the summer, also dot the area. The lake itself is a hugely popular—and often crowded—summer attraction, so much so that Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny himself, once lampooned it in a song called "Big Bear Lake," in which he complained of the nonstop racket created by outboard boat engines.
HISTORY: The area was originally settled by Native Americans called Serranos, a name given them by early explorers using the Spanish word for mountain. Its first population boom occurred in the 1860s after gold was discovered. The area didn't become a resort destination until the 1880s when the construction of Bear Valley Dam created the lake. The first ski lift arrived in 1949.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE MANHUNT: "A lot of people are frightened by it. A lot of people are at home locked in their houses and probably won't come out for a couple more days, maybe even longer," said Dennis Pitner as he scraped snow and ice off his car's windshield outside a pharmacy.
When Simeon Prophet visited some friends Thursday night, he noticed they were keeping guns handy, which unnerved the Big Bear Lake resident who says he doesn't own a firearm. "Then I went to check on a neighbor who I'm helping with a prescription. I walked up to his door and three SWAT guys came at me. Scared the crap out of me. So people are concerned."

1996 Memos: White House Grappled With Terrorism, Fears
The Clinton administration documents show the president's aides grappling with terrorism as a rising phenomenon, particularly after the 1996 attack on the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia. That attack killed 19 U.S. servicemen and left hundreds injured. A federal judge later ruled that Hezbollah carried out the bombing under the direction of Iran.
Mr. Clinton's staff puzzled through how to think about terrorism and how the president should respond to terror attacks. Specifically, they contemplated what Mr. Clinton should do if there were another attack in Saudi Arabia, especially one in which the perpetrators could not be identified.
"The least desirable reaction to a third bombing would be for the President to appear to waffle, first deciding on what may be perceived as a `defensive' posture (further enhancing security, sending anti-terrorism equipment, continuing the investigations, etc.) then succumbing to political pressures to 'do something,' potentially making matters worse,'' said an undated memo from aide William Wechsler to Richard Clarke, Mr. Clinton's counterterrorism adviser.
Examples of steps that could make matters worse, Mr. Wechsler said, including moving ships into the Gulf without an explicit mission or striking suspected terrorist sites at the risk of harming civilians.
"Therefore, at the outset of such a crisis, the President should forcefully reject both alternatives and reaffirm his commitment to measured, consistent response,'' even if there were a political cost to that course, Mr. Wechsler wrote.
This is at page 15 in this document.
Other memos show the White House staff sorting through painful events of the time – including the Khobar Towers attack and the "unproven possibility of a bomb on TWA 800,'' as well as the 1995 poison-gas attack that killed more than a dozen people in the Tokyo subway and the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. (The TWA flight, which exploded in midair off Long Island, was later determined not to be terrorist related.)
Their questions foreshadow those that would grip the nation after Sept. 11, 2001: "What are the options for dealing with failed states, like Afghanistan, that provide a home for such groups?'' the White House staff asked itself and outside experts. And: "Does terrorist access to weapons of mass destruction, including large conventional bombs, move us into a new era of vulnerability?''

With a few tricks, you can transform ordinary frosting into the face of your preschooler's favorite pal, Kai-lan.
Watch Ni Hao, Kai-lan only on Nick Jr.
Tint the dark chocolate frosting black using black food coloring. Tint 4 tablespoons of the vanilla frosting light brown using the brown food coloring. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the vanilla frosting into a resealable bag. Spoon the black and light brown frosting into separate resealable bags. Tint the remaining vanilla frosting a very pale yellow using the yellow food coloring.
Open the regular and mini cream-filled cookies. Remove the cream and discard. Use a small serrated knife to cut the larger cookies in half to make semi circles for the hair.
Spread some of the yellow frosting on top of the cupcakes and make smooth. Spoon the remaining yellow frosting into a resealable bag.
Insert two pretzel sticks, one on either top edge of each cupcake as support for the hair. Snip a small corner from the bag with the yellow frosting and pipe a small dot on the pretzel stick. Add the cut chocolate cookie, cut side against the cupcake as the hair. Add the mini cookies on either side of the cupcakes as the ears.
Snip a small corner from the bags with the white and light brown frostings. Snip a very small corner from the bag with the black frosting. Pipe white ovals for the eyes. Pipe light brown centers and then black pupils. Pipe the mouth, nose, eyelashes, and eyebrows with the black frosting. Snip a larger corner from the bag and pipe the hair over the cookie and top of the cupcake. Arrange two pink flower sprinkles on top of the hair. Break the remaining two pink sprinkles into smaller pieces and add as the tongue.

BASF & CSM form joint venture
08.10.2012 - German chemicals giant and Dutch CSM daughter Purac have formed a
50/50 joint venture to produce and market biobased succinic acid.
The largest chemical firm of the world, BASF SE (Ludwigshafen, Gemany), and the leading producer of biobased lactic acid, Purac NV (Diemen, The Netherlands), a subsidiary of Dutch CSM, have formed a joint venture. After three years of testing of a novel fermentation process on pre-industrial scale at Purac's production site in Montmélo near Barcelona, Succinity GmbH is going to start the production and sale of biobased succinic acid from 2013 . Succinity, which will be headquartered in Düsseldorf Germany, will be the third player in the market for biologically produced succinic acid, an important chemical building block for making 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO), tetrahydrofuran (THF) and gamma-butyrolactone (GBL). These bulk chemicals are needed for making polyesters, polyurethanes, spandex and biodegradable plastics with a global market value of more than $4bn.
BASF and CSM are currently expand Purac's fermentation facility to deliver an annual capacity of 10,000 metric tons of succinic acid from late 2013. This is complemented by plans for a second large-scale facility with an annual capacity of 50,000 metric tons of succinic acid to enable the company to respond to the expected increase in demand. The final investment decision for this facility will be made following a successful market introduction, according to the companies.
Despite stiff competition from Reverdia, a joint-venture of Dutch DSM and French Roquette, and US-headquartered BioAmber Inc., BASF wants to take a leading position in the market. "The market is large enough for all players", said BASF spokesman Holger Kapp to EuroBiotechNews. Earlier this year, Reverdia announced it will start biosuccinate production at the end of 2012. At the beginning of 2011, BioAmber had already started production of 2,000 metric tons of biosuccinate at its French production site in Pomacle and has since then expanded its production and its capacities to produce 1,4-BDO. However, BASF has brought in a unique production technology. Its proprietary microorganism Basfia succiniciproducens can make biobased succinic acid either from plant-made sugars or by glycerol, a waste product form biodiesel production. This might give Succinity a competitive edge over the competitor's technologies that can only convert crop- or plant-made sugars.

On our last trip to Spain our kids were introduced to Nutella. Despite the fact that this chocolate hazelnut spread has been available in the United States for years, it never occured to us to purchase a jar for home. One summer morning while preparing for a day of sightseeing in Barcelona we spread Nutella on Spanish graham crackers (Maria cookies) and the kids embraced the treat that would follow us home.
Nutella has become a staple in our kitchen cupboard, nestled next to the peanut butter. After school the kids prepare sandwiches with Nutella and a sliced banana. Remember my recent blog about oatmeal? Try adding a tablespoon of Nutella to your oatmeal bowl...yum!

Incumbent U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, won re-election over opponent Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel in Tuesday's election for the U.S. Senate.
In Ohio's sixth congressional district, incumbent Republican Bill Johnson defeated Democratic opponent Charlie Wilson.
"Today in Ohio, in the middle of America, the middle class won," Brown said during his victory speech, according to a transcript emailed by Brown's campaign.
"Most of us in this country think of ourselves as middle class. It's the values we share. The principles we believe in. The opportunities we create for our children," he added.
According to Brown, the race was never really about Mandel or him.
"The race is about the resurgence in Ohio manufacturing," he said.

Final but unofficial results
U.S. Senate
Sherrod Brown (D): 2,559,165 votes.
Josh Mandel (R): 2,307,850 votes.
U.S. Congress, 6th district
Bill Johnson (R): 144,297 votes.
Charlie Wilson (D): 125,396 votes.
It's about building trades members in Columbus and Dayton...It's about the 300 electricians building a new assembly line in the (Toledo) Jeep plant," he added.
Brown noted that Ohio's unemployment rate has dropped from 10.6 to 7 percent since the government rescued the auto industry.
As Brown continued his victory speech, he turned to his party's accomplishments at the national level.
"The war in Iraq is ending, "Don't ask, don't tell" was repealed, and Obamacare was established," he said.
With these achievements in place, "secretive out-of-state forces invaded our state," Brown added.
However, the forces that spent $40 million to run 50,000 ads in the Brown/Mandel campaign underestimated Ohioans, according to Brown.
"They didn't know we had the best grassroots effort in America, ...(that) we had tens of thousands of volunteers, ...more than 100,000 contributors...and they didn't know that you could not be bought," Brown said.
At his victory celebration at the Town House in Marietta, Johnson said he and his campaign workers did "very well" at connecting with voters in the sixth district, thanks to the "personal relationship" he works at having with voters.
"It was a one-on-one campaign. I went to more than 3,000 (homes) in the county," he added.
Johnson's personal touch was "probably a deciding factor" in his victory, he said.
Johnson also credited his success to a hard working team of volunteers throughout the district.
"Tonight we're seeing that paying off," he added.
An emphasis on the importance of job creation was also important to Johnson's victory.
"Oil and gas and coal, all those issues resonated with people. People want to know what you're gonna do to create jobs," he said.
On the first day of his new term in office, Johnson said he would focus on jobs and the economy.
"I'll continue to work to end the war on coal," he added.

noun (plural rachides /ˈrakəˌdēz/ /ˈrā-/)
1 Botany A stem of a plant, especially a grass, bearing flower stalks at short intervals.
Example sentences
- Inflorescences are the terminal toothbrush type, with five to 70 pairs of flowers on a rachis approx. 35-50 mm long.
- Hordeum spontaneum and H. vulgare are morphologically similar, with the cultivated form having broader leaves, shorter stem and awns, tough ear rachis, a shorter and thicker spike, and larger grains.
- This gene did not affect plant height, indicating that the length of rachis and culm are controlled by independent genetic systems.
1.1The midrib of a compound leaf or frond.
Example sentences
- Because the Sesbania species have pinnately compound leaves, for defoliation the central rachis of the leaf was cut once halfway along its length.
- Each leaf has a central rachis to which the many small leaflets are attached.
- The basal leaves can be more than 10 cm long and have three to eleven leaflets along their rachis.
3 Ornithology The shaft of a feather, especially the part bearing the barbs.
Example sentences
- A contour feather, as a typical feather, has a complex morphology consisting of a central shaft or rachis to which barbs are attached on two margins to form a vane.
- Beipiaosaurus and Sinomithosaurus bear short fibers similar to those on Sinosauropteryx, but the structures on Caudipteryx and Protarchaeopteryx are unambiguous feathers, with a central rachis and barbs.
- Feathers, however bizarre or morphologically complex, consist essentially of a rachis, barbs, and barbules.
Late 18th century: modern Latin, from Greek rhakhis 'spine'. The English plural -ides is by false analogy.

The Greater Meridian Health Clinic treats all those who enter its doors, whether they have insurance or not. Over the past five years, officials have noted that more and more people have either lost their insurance or have not been able to pay for health insurance, which has caused an increase in those seeking Medicaid assistance.
"The Medicaid population is where there is an increase in services and increase in demand," says Wilbert Jones, CEO of the Greater Meridian Health Clinic. "The Medicaid eligible, people that are eligible but don't have Medicaid, there's a significant growth in that population group."
Jones stresses the importance of Medicaid because it allows those who cannot afford health insurance, or work for an employer who cannot provide it, the opportunity to receive medical care. Medicaid is not, as Jones describes, a cash benefit for those enrolled.
"So the Medicaid program, again, people misunderstand that. They say it appears to be a cash benefit for them. It is not a cash benefit for the individual. It is a health benefit. It is a health insurance. It is something that will allow them to stay healthy, to function at school, to function at work," says Jones.
With so many people eligible for Medicaid, Jones believes that many health problems could be cleared up if the state opts into the expanded Medicaid program.
"If Mississippi buys in, those individuals will be covered; many of those individuals will be covered. They will have an insurance card, and problems that might be going on with that individual, they won't delay a visit to a doctor," Jones adds.
The Greater Meridian Health Clinic has been serving people in Lauderdale, Kemper, Winston, Noxubee, and Oktibbeha counties for 25 years and has clinics in Meridian, DeKalb, Scooba, Louisville, and Starkville.

I didn't want something that would slide around the way the fitted sheets do. This cover has a very nice snug fit and I have a golden ratio table. I would recommend this product. I only gave it 4 stars because I haven't had a chance to see how it will perform and how my clients will respond to it. But for what I was looking for, a good snug fit, a solid 5 star.

ANTIOCH -- Dozier-Libbey Medical High School's future remains uncertain, but Antioch Unified's stance on keeping it in the district is clear.
Trustees voted unanimously this week to deny a petition to allow the medical-themed magnet school to become an independent charter, while establishing it as a dependent charter remaining under the auspices of the district.
"As a board member, I have to look at what's best for the entire district," said trustee Claire Smith, the lone current board member in office when the school was designed in the early 2000s and opened in 2008.
"I believe the current vision as it is presented to us tonight of Dozier-Libbey has gone off track from the board's original direction and vision," Smith said.
The 23 Dozier-Libbey teachers who petitioned for the change say they plan to appeal the board's decision with the county office of education. They also question the legality of the district's petition and its stance on the use of the facility if the school becomes an independent charter.
"The board's decision didn't come as a huge surprise," said Jefferson Weber, a Dozier-Libbey teacher. "What was interesting was that it seemed like they already had a decision predetermined. I had thought there would have been a little bit more discussion."
Still, the petitions could face "a year or so or more" of litigation to get resolved, Scott Fallbrook, the district's legal counsel, said Wednesday.
The specter of Dozier-Libbey becoming a charter has divided the community.
The tension bubbled over at times Wednesday night, as emotions ran high during more than four hours of public testimony from the standing-room-only crowd in excess of 400 at John Muir Elementary. Dozier-Libbey students and teachers wearing black shirts that said "Dozier-Libbey Medical Charter" sat on one side, with petition opponents -- many employees from other district schools -- on the other, some carrying signs lampooning the school's former "no D" policy and saying the district helped make the school what it is.
Teachers want to reinstate the "no D" policy while the district has said students should get the grades they earn. Some students prefer an F over a D, because it makes it easier to retake the class for a better grade.
As a "conversion charter," Dozier-Libbey would continue to operate as a public school but would be recognized as an independent entity and receive funding directly from the state. It would be run by a board of directors, led by an executive director, develop its own budget, hire teachers and decide whether to contract out services.
Under the approved dependent charter, Dozier-Libbey would be a part of the Antioch district, allow its students to participate in sports and other extracurricular activities, make enrollment of Antioch students a priority and keep the current grading policy.
It would also have a five-person executive committee, with two community members or parents selected by the district board to give input in school management.
The majority of those who spoke in favor of Dozier-Libbey going independent were current and former students lauding their teachers and saying they know what's best for the school.
"The teachers are friendly and supportive; they have my best interest at heart," said student Rachel Backlund, sharing her experiences of being exposed to the medical field and extra time staff puts in.
David Linzey, executive director of Clayton Valley Charter, added that the teachers have a sound petition, want to be innovative, and are eager to be successful.
Opponents countered by saying the district, through community involvement, has been a key part of making Dozier-Libbey successful. They also took exception to how the petition was filed without any input.
"I think that the 'No D' policy should be in the home with us parents," Dozier-Libbey parent Christine Todd said. "It's not the school's responsibility to decide if my kid doesn't get the grade that they earn."
Jason Larson, the district's director of program improvement, added the petition would marginalize the district's most at-risk students and called it an elitist attempt to "poach a high-achieving high school in the name of conversion."
Before the final vote, the board chided the Dozier-Libbey teachers for "blindsiding" the community with the petition, and expressed the need to move forward as a unified district.
"This is one of the most disruptive, destructive things that you could have done," trustee Barbara Cowan said. "I can't for the life of me figure out why you've done what you've done, and I hope that perhaps some of you rescind your decision."

A personal note from Brad about the release of his kids non-fiction book, Heroes For My Daughter
Six years ago, my heart doubled in size as my daughter was born. And now, six years later, we're finally releasing my newest non-fiction book — "Heroes For My Daughter."
Yes, it's been a few years since I did Heroes For My Son. And yes, my daughter kept demanding, "Where the heck's my book?" But over these past few years, as some of you may know, my mother passed away (after losing her battle with breast cancer). And in the past year, I also lost my Dad and my grandmother. It's been quite a year. And as I wrote this book, I was forced to look to the world for women (and a few men) who, like my mother, could serve as ideals for my daughter.
As you'll see, every hero in this book is a fighter. And as I tell my daughter in the introduction: "No matter what stage of life you're in, when you want something—no matter how impossible it seems—you need to fight for it. When you believe in something, fight for it. And when you see injustice, fight harder than you've ever fought before."
The heroes I share with her—and with all daughters—run from Rosa Parks, to Christopher Reeve…from Marie Curie to Lucille Ball…from Joan Ganz Cooney, who helped create Sesame Street, to Shelia Spicer, my eighth grade English teacher.
In the end, though, the most important page in here is the last one — because it's blank. It says "Your Hero's Photo Here" and "Your Hero's Story Here." And I promise you, you take a photo of your Mom, or Grandmother, or teacher, or a military member of your family — and you put their picture in here — and write one sentence of what they mean to you — and that will be the most beautiful page in Heroes For My Daughter.
When you're done, I think you'll see, because it's for my daughter…because I lost both my parents in the process…this is the most emotional book I've ever written.
So thank you for letting me share these heroes with you.

Q: Where did Heroes For My Daughter come from?
Six years ago, on the night my daughter was born, I began writing this book for her. I did the same for my sons when I wrote "Heroes For My Son." And yes, for two years now, my daughter's been asking, "Where the heck's my book?" But as for where this book actually came from, in these past few years, my mother died after losing her battle with breast cancer. And in the past year, I also lost my Dad and my grandmother (who's one of the heroes in here). It's been a heck of a year. And as I wrote this book, I was forced to look to the world for women (and men) who, like my own parents, could serve as ideals for my daughter.
Q: What are some of the attributes you wanted to emphasize for your daughter over those you did for your son?
To be honest, I really thought both books would be the same — as a dad, I wanted to treat my daughter and sons exactly the same. But when I handed in the manuscript for my daughter's book, the editor came back with a surprising reply. She noticed that I kept overusing one word throughout the manuscript. That word? Fighter. By my editor's count, fourteen of the fifty profiles had the word "fight" or "fighter" in it.
As she pointed out, "Some of them, like Abigail Adams, Winston Churchill, Hannah Senesh, Thurgood Marshall, were literally fighters, so of course the term should stay there." But I also used it with Audrey Hepburn, Helen Keller, Teddy Roosevelt, Nancy Brinker—even with Lisa Simpson and the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama! Even in the pacifist, I sought a fighter. And yes, that probably highlights my lack of descriptive ability. And how overprotective I am. But it also shows that — and I'm just being honest here — I do want my daughter to learn how to fight.
It's the dream that links every single hero I picked for her. As I now often tell my daughter Lila, no matter what stage of life you're in, when you want something — no matter how impossible it seems — you need to fight for it. When you believe in something, fight for it. And when you see injustice, fight harder than you've ever fought before.
Q: Was there anything that you found out from talking to readers of Heroes For My Son on book tours or over the web that you've applied to this book?
My readers know the best heroes. So many of the ones they sent me — through Facebook, or Twitter, via email or on book tour — so many of those heroes made it into the book. Alexandra Scott…Wangari Maathai…I'd never have heard of them if it weren't for my readers.
Q: Who was the most unlikely hero that you included in the book, and why were they included?
The Three Stooges. Oh yes — I put them in there. My wife hates them. But what people don't know is they were the very first ones to take on Adolf Hitler in film. These three subversives. Gotta share that with my daughter. (Though my wife still thinks they're not funny).
Q: A point was made to not only include women in this book, but to also include men. Why was this so important for you?
I included women like Mother Teresa and Anne Sullivan in the book for my son. Would I really be doing any justice for my daughter if I told her only women could be heroes? Plus, I gave her really good ones. Like Ben Franklin. Few men are as cool as Ben Franklin.
Q: Were there any heroes that your wife (or daughter) specifically wanted in the book?
I did 50 brand new heroes for my daughter. But there were six heroes that I felt were worth repeating from Heroes For My Son — a sort of hall of fame that I felt needed to be there for my daughter: Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt and Lucille Ball. Plus I again included my Mom. C'mon. It's my Mom.
Q: There's a great deal of care given to the selection of the images used for both Heroes books, can you talk about that process?
For me, the stories we tell about the heroes isn't about just their accomplishments. It's also about how ordinary their beginnings were. Indeed, no one is born a hero. So when it came to pictures, I always look for ones that aren't the "usual" ones. I like the ones that remind us they're just like us. And thanks to the research for my novels — and for Decoded — we have great friends at the National Archives and the Library of Congress who were willing to dig for ones few people have seen before.
Q: If the book was one page longer, who would have made it in?
My wife's grandmother, Sara Flam, who my daughter is named after. But I already had my own grandmother and mother in there — plus my wife. I couldn't make it a family album.
Q: Any heroes you're particularly proud of?
Sheila Spicer — my ninth grade English teacher. The first person who told me I could write. I owe her forever for that.

Rafa's Interest.. Dare we Dream??
So this is direct from English media, nothing I've read specifically in Spanish or seen on Serie A news (which is similar to British news/rumors), but we can all see the story that says Rafa is interested in purchasing Suarez at Napoli. Whethere there is any truth in that, who the hell knows, BUT, it means 1 thing for sure if true, Cavani will be on the move, which we all know already, especially because Rafa's style doesn't suit him style wise whatsoever..
So, I guess my "Dream" part is, if it's true, and Napoli offer us 40M for Suarez, I would immediately, without blinking, turn around and offer 58M for Cavani, making it a straight swap, getting a better striker and ending the Suarez debate all together, while sending him to Italy rather than his preferred Spain.
Obviously this is me dreaming, but as I mentioned in a previous comment/thread, Cavani was once quoted as saying he would prefer to play for a team with history such as Liverpool and Arsenal (Epl wise), and obviously that would include Madrid. But just think, IF that were to work out, I think I'd faint, and we would become a monster of a squad including the other targets heading in.. If there is a God above, please listen to me!! Suarez to Napoli for 40+, turn around 58M and get the world's best striker!! I'm just torturing myself..Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I gotta say Jason, Cavani hasn't impressed me at all in the Confederations Cup. Maybe he's knackered or something but 50 mil looks horrendously expensive.
LFC_Armchair_Supporter LFC_Armchair_Supporter Jun 24, 2013 14:15 Flag
Assuming Cavani wants to come to LFC it'll be quite a coup.. we'd sure win the title then.. I'd like to think we'd come ahead of Arsenal as preference?
Cant see it Jase! I know he is your big love so you have to dream at least! No matter what Cavani may have once said, it seems, at his age, he is only looking for a move to go and win trophies and I am certain, no matter what he might say, he will be looking for nigh on £200k per week. He is a phenominal player but it has to be a straight fight between City, Chelsea and Madrid. Even if we could put the money up, I don't think he would come, plus in my opinion, we are better off taking that Suarez bundle and buying 2 really, really good players rather then 1 megastar.

It would be nice, but agree its very unlikely. Even if Cavani is the sort of player who would take prestige over money I think he has many choices that can give him both before he'd come to us. The simple truth is players of his caliber (and i'd include Suarez, Bale, and a few others who are the hot topics of transfer rumors) are highly unlikely to go to any team that cannot get them CL football right away, and for those who are truly the cream, just being in Europe is not enough, they want to be at a club with a realistic chance of actually winning it, which is why the very biggest clubs have such an advantage.
I agree with you Hobitez no way he will come to Liverpool over Madrid.

Won't be this time........but next year it looks inevitable......( Sorry , but lets speak the truth )
The pieces are in place........the timing is right.........personally I'm gutted that we won't go top four and get into Europe this campaign. But try and stop us in 2014. As a lifelong fan I'm disappointed....as I'm sure all true Reds supporters are......but all signs point to a bright and positive next year.

We do need to strengthen over the summer, but not sure we need 5 additional top players to be honest, or if that is actually realistic. First think that is a lot to integrate, and second, assuming no one wants to leave you've got to ask who will be sold on to make room for those extra players.
Looking by position, seems to me RB is well covered, Johnson covered by Kelly and Wisdom. CB we know we are losing Cara, so at least one player who is ready to start, and possibly a second for back up (especially if Skrtel is moves on). At LB Jose could use some competition, but not a priority in my mind with Johnson as cover.
I know you've advocated a big man/ball winner for the middle, and I assume you want a Yaya Tourie type. I'd agree with that, but my question is who leaves to make room. 3 starting spots (assuming a derivative of the 4-5-1 formation) covered by Stevie, Lucas, Henderson, Shelvey, & Allen. If we bring in another striker and or Sturridge makes the claim to lead the line, add Suarez in there as a possible player to take the slot behind the striker.
Wide we have Coutinho, Sterling, Downing and Suso. Add into that mix if we play 3 across the front, Borini, and Suarez (if Sturridge or a new player leads the line). I know some have given up on Borini, but as I've said before I don't think we seen enough, and simple fact is I just don't see a player Rogers brought in from personal experience moved on until he's had at least half a season of injury free time to get a run at a place. Downing maybe asked to move on, but on the second half if this season form, I think he may keep his place (if he wants it) as a squad player (he can also cover LB)
For out and out strikers we have Suarez and Sturridge, but I don't see us playing 2 up front very often, so while I'd go for one more, he's more likely only going to be back up unless he can also play wide or as an advanced midfielder.
So by my count that's 2 maybe 3 top players who are ready to walk into or at least fight for a starting slot. One CB and one winger/striker (third is that central big man but think it means someone is moved on). That is not to say we don't need to bring others in. Anyone who does leave needs to be replaced with as good or better, but for me that is more about building out depth. But that is actually why I think this is going to be a very tricky summer transfer window for us, because simple fact is it's hard enough to attract top players to be back up squad players, but without CL that becomes even more of a challenge.
Loki ..agree with u on the bunce bit but also have to add IF he gets the bunce AND stays away from buying anymore deadlegs off Swansea...if he goes back to them again for any of his ex players its going to start to look like in-breds at Anfield ! Cast the net wide !

The International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q8(R2), Q9, and Q10 guidelines provide the foundation for implementing Quality by Design (QbD). Applying those concepts to the manufacture of biotech products, however, involves some nuances and complexities. Therefore, this paper offers guidance and interpretation for implementing QbD for biopharmaceuticals, from early-phase development steps such as identifying critical quality attributes and setting specifications, followed by the development of the design space and establishing the process control strategy; to later stages, including incorporating QbD into a regulatory filing and facilitating efficient commercial processes and manufacturing change flexibility post licensure.
Process change is an expected aspect of pharmaceutical manufacturing. Many process changes are made as a result of increased process knowledge to keep pace with advancing technologies and improvements to the manufacturing process. When a product is first approved, its manufacturing process represents the current technology standard for manufacturing and follows the current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs) standard for regulatory compliance. After approval, market demand, technological advances, GMP standards, raw materials (e.g., resins) sourcing or manufacturing experience may require that the approved process be modified. Traditionally, these postapproval changes have required regulatory agency endorsement before implementation. The intent of this section is to propose a path forward that fosters continuous improvement and innovation, and acknowledges the extensive understanding of the manufacturing process and product (process knowledge) gained through the development of the design space or through manufacturing experience. The demonstration of extensive process knowledge in the marketing application, combined with established robust and effective quality systems to monitor manufacturing process performance, provides health authorities the assurance, and thus the allowance, to reduce regulatory oversight and the burden of postapproval change supplements while still meeting legal and regulatory expectations. The future treatment of postapproval changes will be influenced by:

Colorado has over 9,000 miles of rivers and creeks, but only 168 miles of these are considered "gold medal water," making the Blue River an extremely special asset to Summit County's loyal anglers and general local economy.
To earn the rating, rivers and streams must meet the official criteria for gold medal water: 12 trout per acre over 14" or 60-pounds of trout per surface acre. Blue River going through Summit and Grand counties features gold medal waters from Dillon Reservoir to the Green Mountain Reservoir inlet.
"That's a ton of fish," said Erica Stock, Trout Unlimited outreach director. "That's what makes up the bulk of the Blue River fishery. To have fish that size, you need a healthy ecosystem. They live on bugs. In order to have diverse bug life you need a relatively healthy stream."
The Colorado Wildlife Commission has designated these stretches of water as offering the greatest potential for trophy trout fishing. An ecologically healthy river is one that retains its major ecological features and functioning similar to the way it did prior to settlement and which would be able to sustain these characteristics into the future. Healthy streams promote aquatic life and nurture surrounding lands.
"You can tell that a river is viable when there is a healthy trout population," Stock said. "You need to have good oxidation of the water. That comes from having good hydrology. When there's oxygen going into the water trout can grab their food sources."
The record-breaking catch in the Blue River came in 2005 when angler Rob Peckham caught a cutthroat trout measuring 33 inches and weighing over 17 pounds.
"There are a lot of big trout in the Blue River," Stock said. "These are the best places to fish in the state. People come from not just within our state but other places like New York and internationally to come fish - that has a huge impact on our local economy."
There are 13 stretches in Colorado along various rivers that are considered gold medal fisheries including: the Blue River, the Colorado River, the Colorado Gore Creek segment, the Roaring Fork River and certain stretches of the South Platte River.
"There's huge economic benefits of having a gold medal stream in your community," Stock said. "Obviously people are coming in, doing guided trips and buying food, and shopping in the community. This is a key part of the recreation industry - it keeps people employed. There's most certainly a correlation between the economic health in these communities and the rivers that are located there."
The harsh reality is that it's less likely for a stream or river to improve; what's more common is for rivers to become degraded. Rivers can lose their gold medal status if that happens.
In 2004, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reported to Congress that 44 percent of the streams in the United States were not clean enough for fishing or swimming. According to the agency, the primary source of pollutants was from nearby
agriculture. In a more recent assessment published in 2010, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey reported that diverting water from streams was a primary cause of unhealthy streams and that a majority of streams in the country have at least some of their water diverted. These alterations usually lead to losses of native fish and amphibians.
Stock said fisherman have a unique responsibility to the rivers they use.
"Anglers are the eyes and ears of the rivers," Stock said. "We have a huge responsibility to take care of these rivers for the entire West."
Colorado, primarily the northwest region, serves as a headwater state for most of the main rivers throughout the West.
"We must preserve gold medal status of our rivers that hold that honor," Stock said. "If you don't put the fish back into streams, they won't be able to reproduce. Anglers should continue to be engaged in advocacy work and keep an eye on the river."

- Alameda County ramps up efforts to combat child trafficking
SACRAMENTO -- An Oakland man was sentenced Thursday to seven years in prison for prostituting a 14-year-old girl in South Sacramento last year, authorities said.
Jamir Imari Tatum, 20, was also sentenced to 10 years of supervised release after he is released, authorities said. Tatum was also ordered to register as a sex offender.
In January 2012, Tatum met the 14-year-old girl outside her home, drove her to a Sacramento motel and took several sexually explicit photographs of her, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office. A month later, authorities were notified that the girl had run away from her home with Tatum.
Authorities said they found online prostitution advertisements linked to Tatum's phone and showing sexually explicit pictures of the victim taken by Tatum. Authorities then made an undercover prostitution "date" with the victim.
Later, text messages recovered from Tatum's phone showed Tatum attempting to make money from "dates" with the victim, authorities said.
U.S. District Judge Morrison England said Tatum's "age, lack of sophistication, and relatively short period of time as a pimp" allowed him a shorter prison sentence, but cautioned him to rethink his life choices.
"(Tatum's crime) was so low level, so stupid, but so bad, that something has to be done to deter him (and others)," England said.

-- Dean, on the resemblance between him and Huestis.
"Christian and I look like our mother. We've been asked if we're twins."

-- Huestis, when 2, told his adoptive mother Bonnie Huestis.

-- Bonnie Huestis, on fostering relations with Josh's birth families.
"He was 32 hours old when I took Josh out of Sutton's arms. Her eyes swollen shut from crying."
-- Bonnie Huestis on the adoption just before Christmas in 1991.

Two Marietta men were arrested Thursday for fifth-degree felony heroin possession.
The Major Crimes Task Force executed a warrant at 729 Ninth St., the home of Freddy D. Taylor Jr., 41. Also in the residence at the time was Russell C. Beardsley, 38, of 19580 State Route 550.
"They were part of an investigation that we are conducting. We obtained information from sources that they were distributing heroin out of that residence and that they were also users," said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.
Upon approaching the residence, an agent observed Taylor seated at a desk, apparently working on something in front of him. Beardsley was standing beside Taylor with his sleeve rolled up and a belt and syringe in hand, according to a release from the sheriff's office.
Once inside, task force agents located several foil balls, commonly used to package heroin for resale, at the desk where Taylor had been seated.
"You have a lot of addicts who pool their money together and run to Columbus. They get enough to sell so they can re-up and go back," said Mincks.
Agents also located a tablespoon with what appeared to be a single dose of heroin and an empty syringe at the residence. A separate spoon where Beardsley had been standing had brown residue on it.
All of those items will be sent to a lab for testing, said Mincks.
Beardsley admitted to being a heroin user but denied being at the residence for that purpose.
Taylor admitted to having recently used but said "he had slacked off in the habit lately," according to the affidavit of facts from the arrest.
Both men were arrested and taken to the Washington County Jail.

Arts class mandate for NC diploma OK'd by House
Published: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 11:25 p.m.
RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina House has agreed public school students should be required to get some culture before getting a high school diploma.
House members voted 98-19 on Wednesday for a bill that would insert one credit of arts education such as music, theater or dance into the required curriculum to graduate starting with ninth graders in 2016. The bill would allow the credit to be earned in middle school.
The bill pitted legislators who say arts participation encourages creativity and increases its appreciation against those who argue the classes should remain optional because some students just aren't good at drawing or playing an instrument.
The bill now heading to the Senate passed on the day hundreds of arts boosters held their lobbying event at the Legislative Building.

Sen. Roraback's defeat disappointed loyal supporter
I was disheartened, to say the least, to see state Sen. Andrew Roraback, R-Goshen, lose his bid for the 5th Congressional District seat.
Since I know Andrew personally, I was really upset by the dishonest nature of the negative advertising against us. It was painful to watch him portrayed as someone who does not even remotely resemble the man I know.

I heard a phrase today that reminded me of my childhood: "...learning and sharing together". I'm not sure if I ever heard this exact phrase, but it was definitely a theme that was central to my early education; it's now a central theme of my life again, this time through free software. This link between free software and education was first made by Richard Stallman in his essay Why Schools Should Use Exclusively Free Software, and this link is now being reinforced by the work that's going on with the One Laptop Per Child initiative. I thought today was as good a chance as any to remind ourselves of the role that free software can play in our schools, and the developments that have happened since Richard Stallman wrote that essay.
Allow me initially to summarise what Richard Stallman said in his essay: free software should be used exclusively in schools because:
- It can save schools money.
- Schools should promote ways of living that benefit society as a whole; and free software, like recycling, does this.
- It promotes the idea that learning is not wrong, as proprietary software does when students reach an age when they start to ask "how does this work?"
- A school's primary job is to teach children to be good neighbours and citizens; free software does this by allowing people to share, learn, and help each other.
Also to be added to these reasons are the more general reasons about why free software should be used: freedom, and security of, information and the right to cooperate with each other.
The One Laptop Per Child program picks up from the ideas in this essay and puts them into practice: it is designed to be affordable (priced at the same level as the current text book budgets of the target nations), encourages children to work and play together, and uses entirely free/open source software.
There are several key features which embody these principles. One of these is the "show source" button, which when pressed will reveal the source code for the current application (or activity, as they call it): not only does this help spread the ideas of sharing and learning, but it also extends the usefulness of the laptop well into the children's teenage years. Another is the way networking and cooperation are so closely tied in to all the activities: through the journal the children are given the ability to think about not just when they created a piece of work, but who they created it with. They have the ability to leave comments on shared pieces of work, and they can see all their online friends organised around the activities they're taking part in. (Some of these ideas are hopefully going to start making their way into our own desktop experience, through work going on with Mugshot and Bigboard).
There are other less high-profile examples of the principles in Stallman's essay being put into practice. In Paris, many of the school children are being given a USB flash key with free software applications such as OpenOffice.org and Firefox on. They're hoping this project will help to reduce the "digital divide" by allowing children to work from home, even if they can't afford expensive office suites; if they can't afford a computer, their work is accessible in a way that they can work from a friend's computer or a public access centre. To me the benefits of this seem obvious: sharing is encouraged and children can work whenever and wherever they choose.
Free software still has a long way to go in education, but as projects like OLPC raise awareness. More and more people will start to make use of it, and more children (and their families) will get to enjoy the benefits!
teaching programming
Python or ruby would be good languages to teach kids on in the education system:
I remember using Logo in primary school and Hypercard, pascal/turbo pascal in secondary school here in the Australian school system. And while logo and hypercard were good because they presented visual feedback I think that once you are actually trying to learn concepts it's best to have the simplest and most powerful syntax that reads closest to natural language - which would make ruby and python ideal. Plus ruby and python are available on OS X (and on .net) so it's free software that is platform agnostic and can penetrate even before alternative OSs move in (creating less friction when they do move in, like firefox and openoffice.org have been doing).
OLPC sugar GUI is programmed in python I believe and ships with logo which is cool.
Schools also do teach ethics, that we should do the right thing. In complex societies we have laws regulating our behaviours to each other. When a corporation like Microsoft evidently maintains a monopoly on the desktop by illegal means as evidenced by the US Department of Justice v Microsoft (see http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/cases/ms_index.htm ) and that continues (see EU ruling at http://www.hpcwire.com/hpcwire/hpcwireWWW/04/0326/107337.html ) to maintain its monopoly without competing on quality and price, it is a responsible act to boycott that corporation. Governments around the world are taking a position in favour of free software and schools should do that too. We should teach young people to exercise their freedom to use information technology to good ends and not to fear evil but to confront it.
Robert Pogson
A problem is an opportunity.
Great article
I think the OLPC is not the best $100 laptop that we can come up with (see Zonbu and Linutop for two other cheap laptops), but the idea is still great. Hopefully, schools in the US outside of Massachusetts and Maine will pick this up.
The idea of Ruby or Python would be interesting. However, I think that should be taught as an extracurricular activity. Not a requirement.
Andrew Min
Saw this on digg a while back
basically a drag and drop interface designed to teach design and programming techniques. Not open-source (and windows/mac only but they're making a Linux version now) but nice to use and fun!

More land, more opportunity
When it comes to expanding public areas for hunting and fishing, the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife can't be accused of sitting still.
DFW used a variety of funding sources to buy more than 2,700 acres in 2013, including about 1,700 acres in two project areas of the Healthy Rivers INitiative and almost 1,000 acres that were added to existing state fish and wildlife areas.
The 19 sites were purchased for just shy of $4.6 million.
DFW is looking at dozens of other properties that will add hundreds more acres to the public lands inventory once transactions are complete.
"Making sure Hoosiers have a place to hunt and participate in other outdoor activities is part of our mission," DNR director Cameron Clark said. "We're always happy to work with private landowners who are willing to part with land that helps us meet that mission."
The largest purchase last year was 878 acres in the Sugar Creek Conservation Area in Parke County. A bordering property of 383 acres also was bought last year, making for a 1,200 addition to Healthy Rivers
Those new acres were open to public use in April.
Healthy Rivers, or HRI, was launched in 2010 with a land conservation goal of permanent protection for roughly 70,000 acres along Sugar Creek, the Wabash River, and the Muscatatuck River. To date, more than 31,000 acres, including previously owned DNR properties, have been protected under the HRI umbrella.
"It's pretty amazing that we're almost halfway to our goal in four years," said Angie Tilton, HRI liaison for the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. "The two purchases last year in the Sugar Creek area that protect about 1,200 acres provide outstanding habitat for a range of wildlife species."
The next largest purchase in 2013 was a 710-acre parcel in Daviess County that is being managed by nearby Glendale Fish & Wildlife Area.
"This adds a nice-sized satellite property to what's already one of our larger fish and wildlife areas," said James Kershaw, public lands manager for DFW. "Glendale first opened in 1956, and additions were made to it through the 1960s and '70s. This helps make more property available for our users."
Other FWA additions were made at Chinook (55.59 acres), Crosley (60.3 acres), Deer Creek (12.17 acres), and Splinter Ridge (147.35 acres), plus a 10.89-acre tract at Randolph County Wildlife Management Area managed by Wilbur Wright FWA.
A 42-acre site was purchased in Benton County that adds to DFW's game bird habitat areas. It will be managed by Willow Slough Fish & Wildlife Area as part of the popular pheasant draw hunts located in Benton, Newton and White counties.
Buying these properties was made possible by combining various DNR funds with additional support from conservation partners – The Nature Conservancy, Pheasants Forever/Quail Forever, National Wild Turkey Federation, Indiana Wildlife Federation, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
DFW also has drawn on the Indiana Heritage Trust, Gamebird Habitat Fund, and the Lifetime License Fund, as well as the state's Bicentennial Nature Trust.
"There's a saying about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts," said Nick Heinzelman, director of DNR's Division of Land Acquisition. "By working together, we're accomplishing much more than we ever could have done as individual groups. Partnerships are what it's all about."
For more information on areas in Indiana that are open to public hunting, visit the Where to Hunt page on the DNR website at IN.gov/dnr/fishwild/5427.htm
Regulations in red are new this year.

ATHENS, Ga. --- University of Georgia true freshman tailback Todd Gurley has been named the Southeastern Conference Freshman Player of the Week following his performance versus Vanderbilt, according to a league announcement on Monday.
Gurley, a 6-1, 218-pound native of Tarboro, N.C., registered his third 100-yard game in four contests after carrying the ball for a career-high 130 yards (8.1 avg.) and two touchdowns in Georgia's 48-3 rout of Vanderbilt. He also added his second career reception on a 13-yard catch.
Also being named the 247Sports National True Freshman of the Week, Gurley leads the SEC in rushing (101.5/g), scoring (10.5/g) and all-purpose yardage (164.2/g, which is more than 35 yards away from the nearest competitor). He has been the catalyst for the Bulldogs to score more than 40 points in four consecutive games for the first time in school history and to pile up more than 1,200 total yards on offense over the last two contests.
Gurley had already been named the SEC Co-Freshman of the Week after the Bulldogs' win over Buffalo in the season opener.
The Bulldogs (4-0, 2-0 SEC) host Tennessee (3-1, 0-1 SEC) in Georgia's third consecutive home game at Sanford Stadium on Sept. 29. The game will be televised by CBS at 3:30 p.m.

You might guess that candy would sink if you dropped it in the bathtub. (Say, what are you doing eating candy in the tub?) But not all candy sinks. It depends on what's inside the candy.
If something is more dense than water, it sinks. Hershey Kisses will sink, but a 3 Musketeers bar will not. Why not? It contains trapped air (there are air bubbles in that nougat), so it's less dense than water.
You can do this density test yourself on a variety of candies. Marshmallows, including Marshmallow Peeps, will float. Kit Kat bars also will float. Can you find others?

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- News 12 has learned former Richmond County Sheriff Charles Webster has passed away.
Webster died early Saturday morning after being diagnosed with liver cancer two weeks ago. We're told he was under hospice care days before his passing. Webster was 80 years old.
Former Georgia senator and commissioner J.B. Powell said, "He was kind and compassionate and he was a good fishing partner."
Powell said Webster was like his grandfather.
Powell recalled, "As I endeavored into politics, Sheriff Webster was there to help me and to guide me and always there to give me advice."
Webster began serving the people of Richmond County in 1984. He was considered a staple in south Augusta politics and a mentor to politicians like Powell.
"He told me, he said, 'Son, take your hand out of your pocket and shake those people's hands and hug the ladies and kiss the babies and don't get it confused,'" Powell said.
Webster would go on to serve four terms until retiring in 2000.
In an interview with Webster during his tenure, Webster told News 12, "Being able to serve Richmond County for better be 16 and a half years soon, it was time for the old man to go, but we've come along way and we've got a good department."
"Sheriff Webster never wanted to get credit for anything. He always wanted to give credit to other people," Powell said.
Credit is exactly what he got when the Phinizy Road jail was renamed in his honor back in 2004, so when it was expanded last year, he simply told News 12, "I'm proud of the people in this county, they've been good to me," Webster said.
Powell told News 12, "They just don't make them like Charlie Webster anymore."
Friends now recall memories and hope his legacy of being a public servant lives on.
"A kind and compassionate person and I think that would sum him up ... and a pretty good fisherman," Powell said.
News 12 spoke to Sheriff Ronnie Strength. Strength says he was a well-respected man and sheriff. He said Webster would often pay people's power bills and never wanted any recognition or anything in return.
Strength says Webster will be sorely missed.
Webster had no children and his wife, Frances, passed away last year from health complications.

I've been trying to find get the "perfect" setup for 1080p PS3 media streaming for over a year now, but alas it still eludes me. The biggest problem, as most will be aware, is subtitled MKV files that simply have to be transcoded using Mencoder or ffmpeg. This puts a huge burden on both processor and network bandwidth.
I now have a Core i7 processor running at 4ghz, and a gigabit ethernet connection to my PS3, and believe it or not, some 1080p rips will STILL bring this setup to its knees. One particularly "busy" scene that I often use to test will peak at 400mbps throughput, which seems to be the limit that the PS3 can swallow. That's the only explanation I can think of, as there should be plenty network bandwidth available, and my processor is barely breaking a sweat.
So my question is, is it possible to transcode to h264 rather than the current "highly compatible with PS3" MPEG2. I understand that this is probably FAR more taxing on the CPU, and most will not have the horsepower to encode a full length movie in less time than it takes to watch it, but I'd like to try it nonetheless. I'm hoping that h264 would be more efficient at tackling a scene like I described above where there is simply too much detail to compress without the bitrate skyrocketing out of control.
