About Us > Newsroom > National Jewish Awarded Bioscience Discovery Grants
Five researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center have received funding from the state of Colorado intended to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into marketable healthcare products and services. The Bioscience Discovery Evaluation Grant Program distributed $2 million to researchers throughout Colorado in this first-of-its-kind program. Recipient institutions are required to match the grants awarded to their researchers. The state awarded National Jewish researchers $196,000. National Jewish will match this amount with operating funds and charitable donations so that the five researchers will receive a total of $392,000.
"We are excited by the prospect of using the Bioscience grants to further the development of these research discoveries into potential therapies for respiratory and immunological diseases," said Brad Brockbank, Manager of Intellectual Property and Technology Commercialization at National Jewish. "Research of this kind is critical and difficult to fund using traditional sources such as NIH and foundations."

RICHMOND -- Organizers and community leaders think now is as good a time as any to talk about health.
In the aftermath of an Aug. 6 fire at Chevron's Richmond refinery that sent more than 9,000 residents to the hospital with respiratory irritation and other health issues, community organizing group Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment and elected officials met with about 90 residents Thursday night.
The meeting at the East Bay Center for Performing Arts, dubbed "Heal Richmond," dealt with questions about the recent fire and public health concerns.
"We want to hold business leaders and city officials accountable for the quality of health care and exposure to toxic fumes from the industries that are in our community," said ACCE member Dave Gesinger.
Speakers discussed the dangers of toxic fumes emitted during the refinery fire -- which sent a massive plume of black smoke wafting across the East Bay -- and the importance of both preventive care and quick action in the event of industrial accidents. Chevron's massive Richmond refinery has followed dozens of small fires and accidental emissions in the past two decades.
"As long as Chevron is in business here, this won't be the last fire," said Silvia Gray-White, a local environmentalist.
The refinery fire occurred after workers discovered an old pipe -- which may have been in operation since the 1970s -- leaking at 20 drips a minute. They waited about two hours before deciding to remove the pipe's fiberglass insulation while the unit was still processing crude, according to federal investigators, causing the leak to accelerate and form a vapor cloud that ignited minutes later.
Five refinery workers were treated for minor injuries, and more than a dozen narrowly escaped severe injuries or death in what the U.S. Chemical Safety Board has called a "near disaster." Investigators have said the decision by Chevron last fall to delay replacement of that pipe is a key line of inquiry.
Chemical board spokeswoman Hillary Cohen said the investigative agency has received a large volume of documents from Chevron, including pipe thickness measurements on the 8-inch pipe. The team has not yet been able to access the accident location because of the ongoing concern of nearby hydrocarbons, Cohen said.
Chevron spokeswoman Melissa Ritchie has said that the refinery has a good record of worker and community safety and would fully cooperate with the independent probe into the fire. Chevron has established a claim center at the Nevin Community Center and a 24-hour hotline to accept claims from residents who suffered missed work or other financial losses associated with the fire.
The work of area hospitals like Kaiser Richmond and Doctors Medical Center has earned broad praise. Each treated thousands of residents who flooded emergency rooms in the first 72-hours after the fire.
Oakland-based attorney John Burris on Wednesday announced that he and two other firms had filed suit in Contra Costa County Superior Court alleging that the fire stemmed in part from Chevron's "gross negligence."
Thursday's meeting also dovetailed into another controversial issue in Richmond, a 1-cent-per-ounce tax on sugar-sweetened beverage sales in the city that will be decided by local voters in November.
Residents asked City Councilman Jeff Ritterman, a main proponent of the tax, how they can be sure the estimated $3 million in annual revenue from the tax would be used to fund anti-obesity and recreation programs, as advertised.
"Using the money for other things, that's not going to happen," Ritterman said.
Councilwoman Jovanka Beckles said misusing the funds would be "political suicide," and Councilman Tom Butt said, "The only people who are telling you the money won't be spent right is the Big Soda lobby."
All three signed a pledge Thursday to spend the money from the tax on anti-obesity programs.
Barbara Stauss, a longtime resident of Atchison Village, one of the housing developments closest to the refinery, said Thursday's meeting was part of a series of public events that have helped provide residents education and resources about how best to deal with the recent fire and its aftermath.
"This is a part of Richmond's healing, and it represents the progress we have made as a community," Stauss said.

Hi All,
I'm quite new to QCad. A while ago I printed a drawing which contained circles to use as a drilling template. I don't know how I managed it but the circles seemed to automatically have all their centres marked with dots. They were also marked with dots at the 12, 3, 6 & 9 o'clock positions. This is very handy and I'd like to know how to do it deliberately rather than by accident!
I looked in Help under 'Print' & 'Circles' but didn't see anything relating to this.

Autumn is a feast for the senses, even here in the Bay Area with our muted seasonal shifts. Hazy sun sifts through rusty leaves, scattering diamonds across the bay. Chilly nights send folks indoors for welcome and warmth.
Yet fall as a season often gets pushed to the back burner -- decoration and retailwise -- in favor of the haunts of Halloween. And then it gets downright lost in the immediate push past Thanksgiving to Christmas.
So we're paying homage to fall and fresh ways to visually savor this special time of year. We've talked with some craft and home-decor pros who shared several ideas, both great and simple, to give autumn its needed nod -- going beyond the typical gourds and scarecrows and ears of dried corn.
"We're so very much event- or holiday-oriented," says craft guru and Bay Area native Amber Kemp-Gerstel of DamaskLove.com. "We're always waiting for the next holiday to tell us how to decorate, instead of letting nature be the guide.
"I go through that conversation with myself every year: 'Do I put up Halloween or just go straight to Christmas?' " she adds. "But the holidays are just one day each. If you focus on the season, you can put things up in September and leave them up through November."
Such a plan admittedly saves time and money -- attributes favored by the folks at Brit + Co., an online DIY community based in San Francisco and headed by Brit Morin, who's often called Silicon Valley's "geek chic" answer to Martha Stewart.
"It's sort of like when mid-September hits, it's ready, set, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas -- go!" jokes Brit + Co.'s creative director, Anjelika Temple. "But to do all of those -- the price point is incredibly high when it comes to decor in a retail setting.
"People love to make decor items, to save money and also because it's more personal," Temple says. "But sometimes that's a daunting task, too. So we like to go simple with things that don't mean you have to learn 50 new skills and take a class and spend a month on a project."
Artist Nicky Tobin of Repurposely.com, working in her studio in Alameda, agrees with that concept and has come up with several astonishingly easy but ultimately stunning projects for fall.
"This is the season for welcoming people into your home, so I've done a couple of front-door wreaths, using things not traditionally used for that purpose," Tobin says.
Front door
Unusual wreaths: One version of Tobin's unconventional wreath styles is done by affixing greenery and dried flowers inside a shallow, round basket and then mounting it to the door.
Another is made by taking an ornate, vintage picture frame, painting it in a deep orange, gold or other autumn tone, then using a rich bordeaux-colored ribbon and weaving it through openings in the frame. Tobin then ties a bow at the top and adds eucalyptus leaves in shades of purple, green and orange.
Temple also loves nontraditional front-door decor. She suggests using rough natural materials such as burlap and driftwood as a wreath base, then adding found materials. "With such a neutral base, you can later change it up for any season," she says. "In spring, you can do flowers. Succulents for summer. Then in fall, nuts, leaves, twigs."
Veggie vases: One of Kemp-Gerstel's favorite autumnal tricks is using food items for surprising purposes. She'll take a butternut squash, cut off the top, hollow out the seeds and much of the flesh (use that part for soup!), then take a small slice off the bottom so it can stand upright. "Then pop a drinking glass inside the hole, fill it with water and pick up some store-bought flowers at the grocery store in yellows, oranges, reds, purples," she says. "You've done all your decorating from your grocery trip, and you've gotten soup out of the deal too!"
Temple also suggests the use of various veggies for vases and for candle holders, too. She'll carve out small holes in everything from red cabbages to purple turnips and pomegranates, then add a taper or a tea light. "The unusual shapes make funny little holders and vases," she says. "It's a way to reinvent the gourd."
Table runner: For a rustic tablescape, instead of a fabric table runner, Kemp-Gerstel suggests measuring the length of your table then making a quick trip to a home-supply store and picking up a plank -- no more than an inch thick -- of cedar or another wood with a beautiful grain pattern. Set it on your dining table as a base for flowers and candles. Translate that technique to an entry table and coffee table too.
Plates: For a super simple pop of fall color on a side table or place setting, place a beautifully colored leaf underneath clear dinner plates. "It's instant autumn," Kemp-Gerstel says.
Crafty ideas
Air plant displays: "Something we've been seeing a lot of lately is decor with air plants and succulents," Temple says. "We've made cute displays for them, holding them in with string art on blocks of wood. It's a no-fuss, easy way of having greenery in your home in the winter months, especially for people who aren't good with houseplants."
With hammer and small nails, make a pattern on a small piece of wood, then wrap the string around the nails and tie off. Place your air plants in the webbing of the string. For full directions, go to www.brit.co/air-plant-string-art.
Preserving leaves: "One thing I do every fall is get colored leaves and some paraffin and an old plug-in electric coffee maker," Tobin says. "Melt the paraffin in the coffee maker, then dip the leaves. It preserves them beautifully for the season, gives them a nice luster, and you can use them in place settings or flower arrangements."

Catholic schools seek to raise standards
Spreading word about benefits of Catholic education
January 27, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Students and faculty are making preparations for the annual Catholic Schools Week, with school officials having a number events lined up this week beginning today....
That's right,they take care of their own and don't foist them off on the public to deal with. Obviously their programs work well.Ever consider converting? May help you caustic replay.

Aaron, probably the reason why you're not hearing the "'special needs' BS" is because they are a PRIVATE school and not bound by the same rules as a PUBLIC school. Evidently, you missed that part.

Why don't we hear any "special needs" BS out of this crew? Sounds like they have there stuff togather.

The class of 2012 received $2.2 million in Scholarships, and 100% of students went on to college. I think these statistics say it all.

GNPBURG is a hit n run commenter. The fact of the matter is, statistics show that Catholic schools consistently rank higher in education than public schools. Graduates of Catholic High are better prepared for secondary education than graduates of public schools and have a much higher per-capita rate of graduating secondary education than those with a public school background. Yes....Tuition costs for non-Catholics is higher than Catholics.

GNPBURG......can you back that up with some facts or are you just a hit and run commenter.

Save your money folks. Especially if your child is non Catholic, and you don't have a sad story to tell to get reduced tuition. The Catholic schools in Parkersburg have both went down the crapper, I'll be surprised if they are in "business", and make no mistake about it, it's all about the money they can make, in a few years.

CONCORD -- When Bob Whitworth was drafted by the U.S. Army in 1967 and served as a combat infantryman during the Vietnam War, he'd witnessed horrors that to this day remain vivid in his memory.
"The minute we stepped off the military base, there were snipers, ambushes, land mines in a jungle so dark you couldn't even see your hands," said Whitworth.
In his early 20s, Whitworth said he faced the fact that his life, which was just beginning, could possibly end in a blink of an eye.
Forty-five years later, despite his best efforts to put the past behind him, Whitworth has written a book that has actually led him back to some of the most horrendous parts of his life -- the atrocities of the Vietnam War.
His memoir, "Through My Eyes: A Story of Hope," is exactly that -- his stories of war that he would rather forget but that still haunt him today. Whitworth said he didn't write the book as a cathartic process toward healing, but when his Army buddy contacted him about a story of a battle where his friend's brother was killed, many encouraged Whitworth to continue to tell his stories about the war.
"We don't talk about what we got into. When you read the stories, you'll know why we didn't talk about it," said Whitworth, a Concord resident. "It is so brutal when your friends are killed in front of you, when you're trying to stop it and you can't stop it."
All the soldiers wanted was to do their job and stay alive, he said.
"I want readers to gain appreciation for what the military does everyday to keep them safe," Whitworth said. "There are men and women out there -- someone's out there guarding us so we can sleep at night."
The cost that soldiers pay to keep the country safe remains evident in the traumatic memories that haunt them for years, said Whitworth, who volunteers his time as a mentor at the Concord Veterans Center.
"Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a real issue," he said. "Memories can lay dormant for years then come back alive, almost like present-day, and you don't want them to. We just carry this for the rest of our lives."
As Whitworth continues to talk to veterans at the Concord Veterans Center, he has also spoken at churches and Rotary clubs and hopes to talk to more schools about the stories of war and the sacrifices the military makes.
He will speak to students at the NorthCreek Academy in Walnut Creek on Nov. 9 and the Cost of Freedom Tribute over Veterans Day weekend at the Sonoma Veterans Memorial Building.
While serving in Vietnam, Whitworth said that his faith and keeping a pocket Bible helped get him through his experience. On his website, www.throughmyeyesthebook.com, he's posted "Bob's Principles of Living," a manifesto of philosophies he learned about living life to the fullest as a result of his wartime experience.
"We learned things that were useful, like what friendships do for you," he said.
Whitworth's wife Beth, whom he married in 1969 a month after he came home from Vietnam, helped her husband locate his Vietnam War buddies.
"My wife found 28 of them," he said. "When you suffer with somebody, you never forget them."
Beth Whitworth said her children gained a greater understanding of their father's trauma when the book was published.
"It was hard for him to get started on the book -- difficult and painful," she said. "Our daughter was concerned at first that people wouldn't get or respect the (emotional) price he paid to write the book. But over time she saw how important it was for him to get the message out."
Whitworth's wife said the stories in the book may help wives of combat veterans understand their husband's issues.
"I believe that combat experience for military personnel is never really over," she said. "They do their best to bury it. Combat veterans do not talk to their families about their experiences. The wives who are in these relationships feel lost. It's important for wives of combat veterans to know who they're with and understand what they went through."
Denver Mills understands the harrowing experiences of war -- he's lived through it himself. As executive director of the Concord Veterans Center, Mills said Whitworth serves as a role model to the "young warriors," local veterans of Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Mills said that as Whitworth was writing the book, he continued to faithfully talk with veterans at the center.
"When these memories rattle around inside the brain, the person feels powerless," said Mills, a Pleasant Hill resident. "By writing this down, he has relieved a lot of his pain through the years."
Whitworth credits Mills for his compassion and support when Whitworth needed someone to talk to at the veterans center.
"I was lucky to be the person there for Bob," Mills said. "Now, he's moved on to help other veterans. He's really been a leader in this mentoring program helping young veterans cope with the everyday things they may be frustrated with. He shows them that, 'I've been through what you've been through. You will make it through. There's hope.'"

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Orange barrels have been a normal sight on Doug Barnard Parkway for years. One of the lanes has been closed off on the main road after the pavement began to sink into the ground.
After a long debate over who's responsible for fixing the road, Augusta's Utilities Department is taking the blame and taking action.
After finally figuring out the cause of the sinking was an abandoned sewer pipe, the Utilities Department is now paying for the repairs and, people are more than ready.
"It gets to be quite an eyesore after a while," said Gene Kirkland, who has owned the Brickyard Bait and Tackle on Doug Barnard Parkway for two years.
Kirkland drives by this twice a day and says it's been that way for years.
"It's just ridiculous, in my opinion, why it would've taken so long to get something done about it," Kirkland said.
Especially on a main road to and from the airport.
"It looks bad," he said. "That's the main road to the airport. We need to do better than that. We had The Masters in here at least twice with that road looking like that. What kind of image is that for our city?"
An abandoned sewer pipe caused the road to begin sinking.
"I know people have been inconvenienced for a long, long time so we're going to fix it, fix it right and get it opened back up," said Director of Augusta Utilities Tom Wiedmeier.
A few months back, they filled the pipe underneath the road with grout. Now, they can begin repairing the road.
"We took bids a while back and recently got cleared by the DOT to go ahead with the repairs, so my people are telling me it could be this week, but definitely by next week, we'll be out there repairing the pavement," Wiedmeier said.
The paving here should be done in just a few weeks, but the work is far from finished. The same pipe system is causing problems just down the street on Dan Bowles Road.
"It all stems from the same issue," Wiedmeier said. "So while the Doug Barnard situation has been resolved, as far as the pipe goes, we'll still have the pipes that are close to that that we'll still have to address."
They say an acid from the sewage running through the pipes was causing the concrete to deteriorate, so now they are replacing those pipes with a different material.
They expect the portion of Dan Bowles Road to be closed for around one week as they work to replace the pipe.

As the new athletic director-assistant principal at Eagle Valley High School, Tami Payne likes what she sees in Devils country.
"We have a lot of raw talent here, and it's a matter of putting that to its best use," Payne said. "There's a lot of passion in this building, and it's a matter of showing that to the community."
Payne comes to EVHS from Berry Creek Middle School, where she worked as the assistant principal last year. Prior to that, she was dean of students-coordinator of student achievement at Cherry Creek High School. Her undergraduate work was in business communications and public relations, and her graduate degree is in school administration. She has worked with college athletes and done a lot of coaching.
"This job at EVHS is everything that I have ever done in the past rolled into one position," Payne said.
As she begins her work at EVHS, Payne said her goal is to build the school climate through academics, athletics and activities. She said a firm foundation already exists for that work.
Last year, there were 720 students enrolled at EVHS, and of that number, 205 participated in one sport, 196 participated in two sports, 37 participated in three sports and one participated in four sports. Additionally, 151 students participated in clubs and activities. Those numbers are strong and they demonstrate how EVHS is producing well-rounded kids, Payne said.
And, she said, she is a walking example of what can happen when kids are motivated and supported as they look toward life beyond high school.
"I was the kid I am trying to promote," she said.
Payne attended Barton County College in Great Bend, Kan., on an athletic-academic scholarship. Her sport was softball, but she also got involved with the cheer program because of her background in elite gymnastics competition. She became the school mascot, which led her to the University of Kansas, where she was the Jayhawk mascot, Baby Jay. (Incidentally, it will be interesting to see how that piece of personal history plays out this year because EVHS Principal Greg Doan was the Kansas State University Powercat mascot during his college years.)
Payne said it's a bit early for her to be talking about what she wants to do with the EVHS activities and athletic programs because she is still learning about the school's culture and history. But with that said, she believes great things lie ahead for the Devils.
"We are going to build on the Eagle Valley identity and bring back the legacy," she said. "This is a great community."

Your doctor may suggest radiation for you in any of the following situations:
You have non-small cell lung cancer and are not able to have surgery.
You have limited stage small-cell lung cancer. Radiation therapy is usually used along with chemotherapy. You may also get radiation therapy as a preventive measure to keep lung cancer from spreading to your brain. This is called prophylactic cranial irradiation. Radiation is directed to your brain to prevent or treat any cancer cells that exist, but are too small to be seen with a CT scan or MRI.
You recently had surgery for lung cancer. Radiation helps kill any remaining cancer cells. You may also have chemotherapy in addition to radiation therapy. This is called adjuvant therapy.
You are getting ready to have surgery for lung cancer. You may also have chemotherapy in addition to radiation prior to surgery. This is called neoadjuvant therapy. The goal of both of these is to shrink the tumor so it is easier to take out with surgery.
You have complications from stage IV lung cancer, which is cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. These complications may include bone pain or nervous system problems. Radiation may ease these symptoms. Radiation used in this way is called palliative therapy because it can help you feel better but won't cure your cancer.
For radiation therapy, you talk with a radiation oncologist, a doctor who specializes in both cancer and radiation. This doctor will tell you the type of radiation you need, at what dose, and for how long. During your visit, ask what you can expect to feel during and after the treatment.

Well, it's official. Mrs. F and I finished W9D3 today. Couch-to-5k is finished. It was a hard run, but we got through it. In fact, in the end, I kept running--all the way back to the car. I ran seven minutes past the end of my 31 minute playlist. Yes, that's right--I ran for 38 minutes!
Thanks so much for the support of everyone here. There's no way we could have been able to do it without you all.
As to revealing our secret, we're going to do it on race day.
I'll still be reading and posting here, so keep it moving, everyone!
It was my wife's idea--really! Okay, it helps that I need to lose the weight, too.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. F!!! That is fantastic!! 38 min straight! WOW! I can't wait until race day and see what your sons say.
Way to go Susie!! W5D3 is a big one!! 20 minutes straight!
It is hard to keep training while on vacation. You are doing great - have fun!
AFMR, super congratulations! What an accomplishment!
I did day 2 of week 2 today. My Ullrey podcast wasn't syncing properly, so I used the podrunner one. I liked it. I think I'd like to do at least the beginning of each week with Ullrey to get the encouraging voice, but the podrunner is good for a changeup.
The middle two intervals were both uphill -- hard! During the 4th one I had this argument with myself about wanting to quit. Fortunately it took so long to argue it out that the interval finished.

Hi everyone-
It's been a tough week this week, but I finished W6D1&2 despite working 60 hours. UGH!! I worked 10 hours on Thursday, came home and ran W6D1 immediately because it was already dark out and my couch was calling me to come over and sit "just for a minute" (that devil!). Today was a rough one. In NY it was 65 degrees with 85% humidity, and I was way overdressed. I started overheating during the first 10 minute run, and was so slow-but I finished it, so that's something. I think I'm going to wait until Tuesday morning to run W6D3-the 25 minute run. I'm working from home that day, so I will have the time and light to do it. I still haven't figured out if I'm a better morning runner or evening runner. I feel like everyday is different for me.
AMFR-Is that pomp & circumstance I hear in the background?? Congrats on the completion of the program. You are certaintly the valedictorian of the group!! You have to tell us what happens on the day of your race--I can't wait!
Fluffy-I voted for your project. I hope you win-good luck! And I hope your ankle is on the mend.
Susiecute-Congrats on the 20 minutes!! I did it last week and felt exactly the same way. You totally deserve the props. It's a great achievement.
Redhoney-I work out with a trainer once a week, and the legs and shoulder days are killer. It seems that everything is either a squat or a lunge, and my legs are usually screaming for up to two days afterward. Just think that once your body gets used to the work, it will improve your running, because it's making your body stronger and less prone to injury.
DWR Penguin-Who says arguing never solved anything? Way to go!
Take care until next week runners!
You are doing great turtlewhoruns!! working that many hours and running - I worked 60 hours in the summer when I was doing C25K and I did it in the morning before I ran. Running after a 10 hour day is impressive!!! You are doing fantastic.
HI all,
Have to ask for some advice.
I have been running pretty regularly since I finished C25K and did my first 5K last week but I am not sure what to do next. I thought of OHR and other programs but just haven't committed. I also heard about an 8K training program too. The OHR is running 30 minutes to 60 minutes. I run 50 minutes now to run 3.1 miles and I have been doing this a few times a week. So I don't want to back off to 30 min when I am doing 50 regularly. I guess sometimes I am tired and want to only do 30 minutes so maybe I should do the OHR. My other idea is to run 3 miles a few times a week and the other days run 1 mile and maybe one day try to push it past 3 miles. I would like to run more than 3 times a week but with the winter coming I am not sure if I can get it in.
Donna- I've heard of training programs where you run 2-3 days for your "normal" distance, + 1 short day for speed/turnover work, and 1 day for your longer run. I think typically they recommend that you don't increase your weekly mileage more than 10% per week.
AFMR- Well it's amazing - but YOU DID IT! It's so great that you were able to run 38 mins for your finale. Mrs. F- your 3 mile time is fantastic! I want to thank you both for all of your inspirational messages, and play-by-play descriptions (here & on your blog) of what its been like for you (and us) to make it thru C25K. You really do seem to have the running spirit! Now for the race and the surprize! -
Susiecute- you are really on your way! 20 mins is real exciting!
Turtle who runs- You have a lot of fortitude to run after such a long day. Keep it up.
Finished week 8 today. Still warm and humid in the AM, but today was a little better that earlier in the week. Basically, I've been running the 3 miles, instead of 2.75 miles, but I've got the time to handle it. These "hot" runs should get me in good shape for the cool runs soon back home. I started the week slow in these conditions, but finished 5 mins faster today, almost down to my 5K pace from 2 weeks ago. Long drive back home tomorrow. Picked up a bright orange Ron Jon t-shirt to run in, for 2 reasons: a) so cars will see me & b) so hunters back home won't shoot me. LOL
Oh-one more thing. Since I'm trying to train for a sprint triathlon next June, I decided to try on a "shortie" wetsuit at Ron Jon. I hope to lose 50-70 more pounds by then, but I wanted to find out what my "before" size is now. Well, I could kind of get on a men's XXL suit - but it wouldn't zip up because of my "chest". HA! By next June, I hope I'll really fit in an XL. But that means I have to keep working at this.
Have a Happy Halloween!

AFMR ~ Congrats to you and Mrs. F on completing the Couch to 5k!! Way to go. You guys give me so much inspiration. I know that I can do this and you guys are living proof. Good luck at your race. When is it again? Won't your kids be surprised when they see you two run. I am so excited for you guys.
Donna ~ Now that you have completed the Couch to 5k and have ran your first 5k and are running 3.1 miles in 50 minutes, maybe your next goal should be to work on your speed. There are workouts that you can do (I recently read an article on speed training but I have to find what I did with it) to increase your speed, such as sprints after your runs or, like somebody (sorry that I can't remember who) stated, run your long run, then run a short run (to work on increasing speed) and then run your normal run. There are so many articles here on Active.com about speed training. Whatever you decide to do...Good Luck!!
Turtle ~ I am amazed at your fortitide for running after working such long hours. I know that I have to literally pick myself up and drag myself out of the house on some days, even when I have worked from home. Now that I am not working, I should have no excuse, but even then, sometimes I find that I have to uber motivate myself to get to the gym.
Well, I did it. I ran today...even through the pain. I had a session with my trainer today and he was asking me how I was feeling. When I told him about my calf pain and how I could barely walk and hadn't run in four days, you know what he said? He told me to get on that treadmill and run! He claimed that the run would cause my muscles to warm up and that I would be fun and would barely feel the pain. You want to know what? He was right!! I will admit that I struggled in the beginning of the warm up, trying to get past the pain, and I was a little hesitant about starting my first 90 second run, but once I started running, I was fine and didn't even feel the pain. The 90 seconds flew by! By the time I did my 3 minute run, I was feeling fine and was so shocked when Robert told me that I was done! The only time that I really felt pain was during the walks in between and then I was quite sore afterwards, but I did it!! Then I went and took my kids out to go Trick or Treating for Halloween and walked for about a mile with them, albeit slowly. Now I am feeling still a bit sore but I can tell that it is starting to dissapate, so I am hoping I will be fine soon. I plan on finishing Week 3 on Sunday.
I am going up to New Jersey on Tuesday, for a week, to spend time with my parents. I am hoping that the weather cooperates up there as I don't really have "cold weather" gear. Have any of you ever run in a sweatshirt or do you think a simple long-sleeve shirt would be sufficient (as long as the temp does not dip below 40)? What about my capri running pants? For those of you that run in colder weather, do you find that you warm up enough to not wear heavy layers?
Ok...I'm off. Talk to you guys on Sunday...
RedHoney- You were wondering about what to wear in cold weather. I live in TN and currently it has been in the 30's to 50's, when I have been running. I wear compression pants, and short sleeve shirts or sometimes long sleeve duo dry cold weather shirts. You can get both the long sleeve top and compression pants at target for about $20.00 a piece. Which I don't think is too bad cost wise. I also usually wear a jacket when I start out, but usually end up taking it off and tieing it around my waist. You could probably wear your capri's and not feel too cold after you warm up, but for me if it is windy, I would rather have my legs covered. Hope that helps you some.
AFMR - Congratulations to you and Mrs. F on finishing your C25K. I am sure you will both do well on your Turkey Trot. Keep us posted on how you do. I try to do one 5K a month. I'm getting ready to start this program next week. I haven't started it yet, even though I have been running since June. I am hoping this program will make it easier for me. Still working towards being able to keep up with my Husband when he gets back from Iraq this next year.
Thanks y'all for all the good wishes and congratulations! I still cant believe we have finished it. I have a bit of a feeling that we arent done yet since we havent done our race yet. Plus we do plan on continueing to run of course.
Our race is Nov 14th!!! I am pumped! We hope to get lots of pictures of stunned faces I also have been thinking maybe its a good idea to be close to the amublence when our cross country runner finds out, he might just pass out lol!
Since he beat his personal best on his last race, i owe him two minutes of running. He still thinks I cant do it -- hah!
Mrs F
Hi Everyone,
I have been following your thread for several weeks now. The support you show one another is so wonderful. I started C25K today, just in time for Mr and Mrs F to finish! (A BIG congratulations to you two!) I went to Ocean Springs, Mississippi to spend Halloween with my best friend and her family. I told her all about it and even though I am in another southern city, Mobile, Alabama, we are going to do C25K together. Hopefully I will be finished by my 40th Birthday in January!
Looking forward to my "Runners High"
Congratulations Mr and Mrs F. Not only did you graduate C25K but you became inspiration from so many others. What a difference 9 weeks can make. In the beginning, Mr. F, you struggled with running. You sounded as if it was taking everything you had just to get out there and start running. Now you run easier, encourage others and even continue to run when you are tired. You have learned to push through the mental and push forward. You guys rock! Congratulations on graduating from Couch to 5K.

Marietta College will observe the 178th anniversary of its charter and continue this year's theme of "Leadership and Social Justice" Thursday with a speech by Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Eugene Robinson at its Founder's Day celebration.
Robinson, a longtime Washington Post columnist and political commentator who has appeared on shows like "Hardball" and "Meet the Press," won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 2008 for his columns on the election of the first African-American president.
"We're trying to use this as an opportunity to engage the entire campus community," said Mark Miller, the college's associate provost.

Miller said some professors have incorporated Robinson's writing into their courses and are encouraging students to attend Thursday's presentation and discuss it in class. In addition, some faculty and staff members, including Miller, have read and plan to discuss Robinson's book, "Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America."
Miller said he enjoyed the book, particularly its look at education and the role it plays in transforming lives.
"It talked about the ways (the) sort of economic migration has happened in the African-American community, particularly the role some of the historical black colleges have played in that," he said.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Marietta College's 178th Founder's Day ceremony.
When: 7 p.m. Thursday.
Where: Alma McDonough Auditorium.
Keynote speaker: Eugene Robinson, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for The Washington Post, author and political commentator.
Admission: Free and open to the public.
Overall, the book deals with the changes in African-American socioeconomic structures in the country, which Miller said fits with the college-wide topic of "Leadership and Social Justice" for the 2012-13 school year.
Robinson's presentation will be held in the Alma McDonough Auditorium on campus. It is free and open to the public.
MC Student Senate President Connor Walters said he's looking forward to the event because he is a journalism major.
"I'm excited for what Mr. Robinson has to say," he said.
He also plans to attend to join in the celebration of the college's "long, storied history."
Founder's Day marks the reception of Marietta College's charter on Feb. 14, 1835. Tom Perry, executive director of college relations, said the date of the event sometimes shifts to accommodate certain factors, such as lining up with the board of trustees meeting so they can participate.
In addition to Robinson's speech, the event is a time when faculty members are honored for their work. Among the presentations will be education Professor Cathy Mowrer as the 2013 McCoy Professor.
The McCoy Professor title is a four-year recognition, plus a stipend. Peers nominate a professor and a group of nationally recognized teachers from outside the college review the individual's work and observe two classes. Among the factors cited by the committee in Mowrer's selection were engagement of students, knowledge of content, rapport with students, classroom management skills and innovative teaching.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Al Gore and the concept of climate change are no strangers to each other.
But inviting the former vice president and subject of the 2006 film "An Inconvenient Truth" to speak at Lake Tahoe just days before scientists concluded the weather phenomenon will impact the basin for years to come?
Well, that's just a convenient coincidence, said Amy Berry, CEO of the Tahoe Fund.
"They're completely unrelated," Berry said with a chuckle on Wednesday. "But I don't think it's a coincidence that UC Davis has identified climate change as an issue of the basin, and that Al Gore was here in 1997, and ever since has consistently talked about the long-term impacts of climate change."
Gore will deliver the keynote speech at the 17th annual Lake Tahoe Summit on Monday, hosted by U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev. Republican Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, Democratic California Gov. Jerry Brown and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., will also attend.
At the first summit in 1997, Gore and President Bill Clinton unveiled a sweeping plan to protect Lake Tahoe, and the resulting Environmental Improvement Program forged an unprecedented public/private partnership that's led to nearly $1.7 billion in investments here since.
Clinton later authorized the $415 million Lake Tahoe Restoration Act to aid efforts to restore the lake's steadily declining water clarity, and to reduce the risk of fire by thinning forests of dangerous fuels such as shrubs and dead trees.
An updated version of the act was entered onto the Senate floor on Aug. 1, sponsored by Feinstein, Reid, Dean Heller, R-Nev., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. The legislation would authorize $243 million over 10 years for the highest-priority restoration projects at the lake, based on scientific data.
"When Gore was here in '97, that really kicked off the EIP," said Berry, whose nonprofit Tahoe Fund is sponsoring Monday's summit. "Since that time, thanks to incredible support from the feds and the two states, there has been a tremendous amount of progress in terms of environmental improvement projects on the ground."
It's the hope of many Tahoe stakeholders that Gore's return will help usher in a "renewed commitment to funding the environmental improvement program for years to come," said Berry.
That commitment could be key, considering findings published last week in UC Davis' annual State of the Lake report.
In the report, while scientists point to Lake Tahoe's clarity improving for the second consecutive year in 2012, trends suggest climate change is continuing to impact the lake. Last year, the lake's average surface water temperature of 52.8 degrees was the warmest on record.
The science community is pointing to the report as a reminder that while progress has been made since 1997 to protect Tahoe, much work remains.
"While clarity is improving in the offshore this year, things are not as positive on the nearshore, which is where most of the public engages the lake," said Sudeep Chandra, University of Nevada, Reno, researcher and longtime limnologist at Lake Tahoe, in a Wednesday statement.
Monday's summit also comes amid legal challenges to the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency's Regional Plan Update — which sets guidelines for development for the next 20 years for the Lake Tahoe Basin.
The Sierra Club and Friends of the West Shore filed suit against the Regional Plan Update earlier this year.
Rogert Patching, executive director of the nonprofit group Friends of Lake Tahoe, which has supported the lawsuit, said he doesn't expect it to be mentioned Monday at the summit.
"I expect reiterations about how smart growth planning at Tahoe will result in both economic and environmental gain, when it will actually result in urban sprawl, increased pollution of all kinds and the destruction of local businesses by corporate resorts," he said in a statement to the Bonanza. "TRPA's rhetoric, politics and happy talk have been very successful in painting a wonderful picture for politicians and the masses. They don't know what they don't know, and our side, with minuscule resources, has not been successful in its countervailing campaign.
"Wall Street forces are winning while everyone else is losing. But, you will not hear a peep about this at the summit."
Monday's summit also figures to have one of the largest crowds ever. As of midday Wednesday, nearly 800 residents and officials had registered to attend, Berry said, about twice as many as in 2012.

OAKLAND -- The Warriors locked up the NBA Western Conference's sixth playoff seed Monday night with an impressive comeback. Now they must contemplate what it all means if center Andrew Bogut can't come back.
Before their 130-120 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Warriors revealed that their stalwart defensive paint protector has a rib fracture and will be out indefinitely -- quite possibly for the rest of the season depending on how long their playoff run lasts.
The bad news on Bogut put a damper on an otherwise emotional Warriors' regular-season home finale at Oracle Arena in which they achieved their 50th win by rallying from 19 down. There were a number of heroes, but as usual, it was Stephen Curry leading the way with 32 points and 15 assists.
It will be harder going forward without Bogut, but Curry and the Warriors weren't sounding like a team ready to limp into the playoffs and wave the white flag to either the Los Angeles Clippers or Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State's two possible first-round opponents.
"We hope a miracle happens with Andrew," said Curry. "We'll see what happens. But as a team, we're focused on what the challenge ahead of us is, and we have to move forward."
Judging by the obvious discomfort he was in before the game in the locker room, Bogut will need a miracle to make it back.
"I can't take deep breaths or yawn," he said. "It's pretty hard to move around or do anything right now. Even driving the car was a little tough."
Bogut thinks he initially injured one of the ribs on his right side in the first half against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. He felt it again while dunking a ball against the Los Angeles Lakers the next night but said the elbow he took in the fourth quarter against Portland on Sunday "put it over the top." X-rays taken after that game confirmed the fracture.
Bogut wouldn't budge much off the team's prognosis. Asked if and when he might play again, he said tersely, "Indefinite. That's all I'm giving you guys."
The veteran center didn't paint a very rosy picture about his return, however. He said he is very concerned about even trying to work out too soon because it could result in an even more serious injury.
"I can't move right now," he said. "I can't move my arm. Any vibrations -- coughing, sneezing -- hurts. I'm guessing if I get on a treadmill or an elliptical, it's going to hurt. I obviously have to be careful if I do too much, because if it cracks, I'm looking at a punctured lung, and I'll be in a hospital with a tube coming out of me."
Warriors coach Mark Jackson, who was swarmed by several of his players at the end of the game to point up the coach's role in achieving the club's first 50-win season in 20 years, said the team would forge ahead without Bogut.
"He's hurt, it's indefinite, it's real," said Jackson. "It's a concern, and we want him to be healthy. It's unfortunate, but it's the hand that we've been dealt, and we have to move on."
The Warriors could get some relief if second-year 7-footer Festus Ezeli, who has been out all season after offseason knee surgery, can make it back at some point during the first round.
More than likely, though, the cast that overhauled the T'wolves -- plus Andre Iguodala, who sat out with knee tendinitis -- will be the cast against the Clippers or Thunder. But that still could be formidable, even without Bogut, if this latest game was any indication.
Fueled by three straight 3-point baskets by Kevin Love to start the game, Minnesota jumped to a 16-2 lead and upped that lead to as many as 19 in the second quarter. But Golden State rallied to within two at the half, 64-62, then simply overwhelmed the Timberwolves in the second half.
David Lee scored 25 points with nine rebounds to support Curry's latest sterling outing, and Draymond Green had a career-high 20 points plus 12 rebounds. Klay Thompson also scored 20. Love, who had 22 first-quarter points, led Minnesota with 40 points and 14 rebounds.
"Fifty wins with all the adversity we had all season long, all the travails, all the injuries, all the excuses that we could have taken, it says a lot about this basketball team," said Jackson. "Fifty is a special number. So while you're here, enjoy it."

Outgoing chancellor: Charles Reed faced controversy, challenges
Reed's impact: Cal State San Bernardino | Cal Poly Pomona | Cal State Long Beach | Cal State Northridge | Cal State Dominguez Hills | Cal State Los Angeles | Cal State Fullerton
Incoming chancellor: Tim White unafraid of challenges ahead
SAN BERNARDINO - Outgoing California State University Chancellor Charles Reed transformed the system's 23 campuses during his 15-year tenure, according to past and present Cal State San Bernardino presidents.
"I think when you look at his 15-year tenure, you're going to see a lot of initiatives that demonstrate a deep commitment to student success, a deep commitment to access," Cal State San Bernardino President Tomas Morales said. "He's a national leader in higher education."
He praised Reed's work in helping CSU students succeed and to diversify the 440,000-member student body.
"I think there was not one day when he retreated from being a staunch advocate for this university," Morales said.
The praise also comes from other leaders in the system.
"Charlie is a visionary. He was a full-time, type-A visionary type personality," said former CSUSB president Al Karnig. "On most things, Charlie really was at the (forefront). He was the flagship."
Morales pointed to the Early Assessment Program that Reed pushed.
"College-readiness is a national, national crisis," he said. "Charlie Reed was before his time, creating the kind of EAP program, getting the state, the entire state education department, to include those questions to identify those students at the end of their junior year to need remedial courses, and to try and get high schools and CSUs to work together to help prepare students, that's a national model."
Heading off the need for remedial classes saves universities money and makes a better use of students' time at the collegiate level.
"It's the model for 46 states," Karnig said.
Reed also promoted the Parents Institute for Quality Education started by a San Diego not-for-profit.
"It was Chancellor Reed who said to the presidents that we have to partner with this organization to help parents to understand how they can be more supportive of their children and their education," Morales said. "There's a direct relationship between parental involvement and student success, both in K-12 and in higher education."
Reed promoted Super Sundays, where each February, CSU presidents would speak at African-American churches about the value of college and how parents could help their students get in and succeed once enrolled.
"Which was again, Charlie's notion, Charlie's idea," Karnig said.
"Reaching out to communities that were historically under-represented, that was Charlie's initiative," Morales said.
But not everyone was a fan of Reed's tenure.
"I think generally, from the very beginning, the faculty did not have a good working relationship with management. From the beginning, we were always butting heads as to where we saw the system going," said Marcia Marx, the California Faculty Association president at CSUSB. "When we had the years where we had the serious budget crises, it became clear we had different objectives for the system."
Some faculty members believe Reed did too much to expand the CSU's administration while faculty numbers were being chipped away.
"Each time fees increased for students, there were no other discussions aside from raising fees. It continually came off the back of students and then faculty," Marx said. "Just recently, they were (talking about) charging students who were taking more than 17 units more money. ... What sort of message are you sending to students?"
At the same time, Reed was in a difficult spot, others said.
"Look, it's not fun managing decline," Morales said. "Look, no one wants to raise tuition. No one wants to. Charlie did not want to ... . But the fact of the matter is there has to be a balance: ... You have to be able to operate and to manage your institution."
People who worked with him said Reed was the guy to do just that.
"I have meetings with him every so often. He is one of the toughest educational professionals I've ever met, which makes him a good fit for the CSU these days, Cal State Student Association president (and CSUSB student) David Allison said. "The more I learned, the more I realized: He was put in the position of choosing between affordability and accessibility."
Reed's era ends Dec. 30. His successor, Tim White, the chancellor of the University of California at Riverside, takes the reins the next day.
"We really wish him well, and we're really wishing for a fresh start with our new chancellor," Marx said.

Offensively, Summit's boys' lacrosse team isn't missing much depth. It's on the defensive end of the field that there are gaps to fill this season.
"There's alot of rebuilding going on there," head coach Karl Barth said. "We're going to try to move some kids and see what the returning youngsters have to offer."
Nolan Rookey is returning, as is goalie Garrett Tousey. Danny Proctor has experience in longstick middie defense, as does Josh Braun. Jordan Nelson is returning as the team's back-up goalie.
"It gives us that to build around," Barth said. He's hopeful Rookey and Braun will head up the defense as the most experienced on that end of the field.
"The biggest itch to prove is Garrett Tousey," Barth added. Tousey started last year, and when he was on, he was on fire.
"He's one of the best - if not the best - in our conference," Barth said. "When he's on, he's an unbelievable goalie. He's working on the things that will give him consistency to be lights out. That can make a world of a difference to a team."
Offensively, the team struggled somewhat, but Barth attributes much of that to young players.
"They're all pretty much back," he said, though, "It will take a few weeks to get up to full strength because a lot of them are alpine and Nordic skiers attending nationals."
George Gruber, Evan Feldman and Sean Farley are names that stick out to Barth for offensive cohesion.
"So far, Sean Farley looks great," the coach said. "A year of playing quarterback hasn't hurt him in terms of maturing as an athlete."
Gruber and Feldman are returning all-conference players.
The team hasn't practiced outside yet, which can be a disadvantage to a team that also doesn't have a committed year-round program.
Though the conference hasn't changed (they're still in the Mountain Division), the team still faces uncertainty. There are six strong teams in the division (Steamboat, Battle Mountain, Grand Junction, Fruita, Aspen and Summit), but some teams could surprise, Barth said, like Durango, which was "massively" improved last year over the year prior.
Steamboat will likely remain at the top, the coach said.
"They're the premier team in our league right now, and I don't see that changing. They've got the respect of the Front Range," he said, adding that the Sailors made through the first few rounds of playoffs last year.
One change is more opportunity in the playoffs, now that the Colorado High School Activities Association has created 5A and 4A categories. There are still good teams to contend with, but now, two or three teams will make it out of the 4A Mountain Division instead of just one. And when they get there, the smaller teams won't immediately be matched with the "Regis' and Cherry Creeks of the world," Barth said.
Summit went 6-9 last year.
"I expect a whole lot better than that (this year), but then again, we expected more last year," Barth said. "We lost a few games we should have won last year."
Like Battle Mountain, in which Summit fought back but then lost traction.
The time Summit scored "with no time left" to beat Aspen at Aspen was a highlight, Barth remembered. He said the team has the potential to finish in the top half of the division.
"You just gotta finish the game," he said, adding that he sees a more mature attitude on the field this year. "Our focus has been on lessons learned from last year. You can't just show up and hope the game goes well. You have to prep all season and work together on and off the field."

Knitter's Review
November 5, 2009
Perched in the Atlantic ocean six miles off the coast of Maine's Mt. Desert Island, Swan's Island has a year-round population of 350 people, no Starbuck's, no stores, and no real source of entertainment except its stunningly beautiful natural surroundings.
In the early 1990s, two burnt-out Boston lawyers named John and Carolyn Grace moved to the island in pursuit of a quieter, more genuine life. They set up a small weaving studio using local wool, perfected their trade, and by 1996 their Swans Island Blankets won a Smithsonian Blue Ribbon for Craft.
Ten years later, the company took on new partners and relocated its operations to a 1780 farmhouse in the coastal town of Northport. Change has not dimmed the museum-quality of each blanket produced, but it has brought new possibilities for those of us who like to make our own blankets.

John Isner wins Atlanta Open
Published: Sunday, July 28, 2013 at 8:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, July 28, 2013 at 8:54 p.m.
ATLANTA — Top-seeded John Isner won the Atlanta Open on Sunday, beating second-seeded Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6-7 (3), 7-6 (2), 7-6 (2) in the tallest final in ATP history.
The 6-foot-10 Isner, who lost in the Atlanta final in 2010 and '11 to fellow American Mardy Fish, won his seventh career title. Anderson is 6-foot-8.
Isner rallied to win two tiebreakers, pushing his ATP-best tiebreaker record to 27-6.
All three sets were played on serve, and Anderson lost serve only once in four matches.
In the third tiebreaker, however, Isner scored off Anderson's first, third, fourth and fifth serves to win 7-2. The last point came when Anderson sent a backhand into the net.
Isner will move up from his world rank of 22 and likely pass Sam Querry (20) as the top American. Isner is 6-3 against Anderson, who began the tournament ranked No. 21.
Isner earned $98,700, and Anderson took home $52,000.

When working on a drawing that has become dense, the auto snap tool is causing me some problems. I am a recent porter from AutoCAD Lt.
On other cad packages that QCad has replaced, I could tell snap to be specific: "Intersection" "geometry", "grid", etc. This then aided dense drawings and saved me the step of overzooming to get the thing right. And then the slected zoom mode stayed selected until I turned it back to auto, or selected another mode. This isn;t happening in QCad, so I suspect I'm going about it the wrong way.
In QCad, I have the following anomalies that aren't documented in the manual:
a) How to turn off "auto" and specifiy a specific snap mode that remains in effect until I specify otherwise....
Here's what happens:
I select a specific snap mode I want, then click the line tool, the snap mode I've selected gets deselected and the auto snap mode comes back on with the issues as explained above. I do not get the specific snap mode I want.
If I select the linetool, click it's starting point, then turn on the specific snap mode I want, the line dissappears and never gets drawn at all.
If I select the line tool, then select the snap mode, again the line tool dissappears and no drawing tool is selected with the mouse.
I am using QCad 3 Pro (just bought it a couple of days ago, and I do like the general MO of this product). I draw electrical circuits for construction ( and have for 30+ years) and QCAd is perfect for this purpose.
Google, User guide, forum search have turned up nothing (unless I'm searching for the wrong terms).... Can someone please enlighten me? I sure would appreciate it!
Sincerely and Respectfully,

Hey, folks it's Nov. 17 and Eagle Valley's still playing football. As former Yankees broadcaster Mel Allen used to say, "How about that?"
It's Round 2 of the state playoffs as the Metro West champion, Conifer, comes calling on the Devils at Hot Stuff Stadium at 2 p.m.
This feels right, people. Until Eagle Valley went off and beat Frederick last week - kids, these days - I actually had covered the Devils' last playoff win back in 2005 (Cherokee Trail, 31-14). For the first half of my career at the Vail Daily - I started in 1997 - this was the norm - football in Gypsum in November.
This has been a fun team to watch. My feel was about 5-5. (I can assure you all that after about two minutes of watching Battle Mountain-D'Evelyn in Zero Week, I made my call on our local issue.) This looks like the Eagle Valley of "old" - a big o-line, several backs with speed to burn and defense that makes other teams go, "Ouch." This crew put in the hours you need during the offseason, and the Devils are reaping the rewards.
The Devils have also shown some serious class this year with the "Alex Affair." This team and this community poured its heart out and got it stomped for its troubles. (I'm still in shock that someone would actually make up that garbage.) That could have done this team in, especially after the Palisade and Rifle losses. It would not have been hard to see these guys mailing it in at Frederick. Instead, the Devils showed a lot of heart and talent, and swatted Frederick aside. Good on everyone. Let's keep it rolling.
News and notes:
• Common opponents: The Lobos beat Glenwood Springs, 42-19, at Stubler during Zero Week. Eagle Valley also won at Glenwood, 42-28. Both teams got smacked by Rifle, but, well, the Bears are No. 1 for a reason. Eagle Valley pasted Arvada, 68-14, while the Lobos knocked off the Bulldogs, 42-23. Do note there, that the Devils knocked Arvada quarterback John Martinez out of the game early, and he was back in Week 10 to face Conifer.
• Conifer finished 5-1 atop the Metro West, defeating Lutheran, 34-8, in Week 5. If you're looking for a serious stretch of transitivity, Lutheran went on to lose to Steamboat Springs later in the season. Hard to judge much from that.
• Conifer likes to run, run and run some more. The Lobos feature two 1,000-yard plus backs in Matthew McClintock and A.J. Eleniewski. They've combined for 30 touchdowns. Quarterback Thomas Kim also appears to mobile with 397 yards of his own.
• The Lobos will pass enough to keep a defense honest. Kim is 60-for-121 for 697 yards.
• Defensively, Drake Weber appears to be a handful. He has 13 sacks and dumped Northridge's quarterback three times last week. Brandon Payer leads the Lobos with 111 tackles.
• OK, you all thought I was kidding about how the football postseason bracket can go boom in a hurry. Now do you believe me? Last week, No. 1 Rifle held serve, blasting Erie, 42-0. (Ryan Moeller ran for four touchdowns and had a pick-six.)
No. 2 Discovery Canyon is out after a 24-14 loss to Pueblo Central. I also heard that No. 3 Frederick lost to somebody. No. 4 The Classical Academy? Bye, bye. Delta smacked TCA, 21-0.
The first reason why this happened is that wild-card points are just not an accurate indicator of a team's strengths. The formula works nicely in keeping out teams who play a cupcake nonconference schedule. It does not work well in taking into account the strength of a conference.
And that would be point No. 2. The Western Slope can play football, not that anyone around here doesn't know that. The Devils are the fourth team out of the SEC of 3A football and they tattooed a Front Range league champion, Frederick, 33-8.
The other quarterfinal on Eagle Valley's side of the bracket is No. 15 Pueblo Central at No. 10 Silver Creek. (If you're wondering, Eagle Valley lost both coinflips and is on the road, so, "Go Silver Creek." Longmont's better than Pueblo, people.) On the left side of the bracket, Rifle will beat No. 8 Roosevelt, and Delta (No. 13) will have a shot at No. 5 Pueblo East, especially because the game's at Delta.
See you at the game.

- Mills High School AP controversy: Judge denies suit against testmakers

- AP exam controversy: Lawsuit filed on behalf of Mills High School students

- Gavin Newsom and Jerry Hill: Mills High students should get AP credit for tests

- Mills High School's AP test scores invalidated, students cry foul
MILLBRAE -- When Mills High School students took the Advanced Placement exams in the spring, they wound up learning a useful lesson, though not what the College Board and Educational Testing Service had in mind.
What students say they discovered is that rules are sometimes applied arbitrarily and you can be punished despite having done nothing wrong. And, perhaps, most important -- if you don't look out for your own interests, chances are no one else will.
Their lesson arrived in public fashion when, in a rare move, the ETS in July invalidated exam results of nearly 300 students because school officials violated testmakers' seating guidelines.
"The world is unfair and difficult," said 18-year-old Erika Lee, who is headed to Boston College. "Corporations, 'nonprofit' or not, are simply selfish. However, if we're persistent enough and utilize our voices, we can make a difference and raise awareness."
Even though there is no evidence that anyone cheated, ETS said it can't rule out the possibility that some students were able to look at others' test sheets, and so it canceled the results of more than 600 tests taken in May in 11 subjects.
Students, along with the San Mateo Union High School District, called the decision a wild overreaction, and they haven't taken it quietly.
High-profile support
The students' campaign to persuade ETS to score the exams has so far garnered support from politicians including state Sen. Jerry Hill, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Rep. Jackie Speier.
The district has also enlisted a high-profile Burlingame law firm that is preparing to file a lawsuit on its behalf. Barring a change of heart by ETS and the College Board, attorney Nancy Fineman of Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy said she will soon seek a court order compelling the companies to grade and validate the exams.
The district admits Mills strayed from guidelines specifying that students must face the same direction when taking AP exams. Instead, some students were seated across from each other at circular or square tables.
But the invalidation was overly harsh, Fineman said. The manual for AP coordinators states that failing to follow seating requirements "could result in cancellation of exam scores," she noted, implying ETS has discretion not to cancel them.
ETS inquiry
Fineman also questioned the legitimacy of the ETS inquiry, triggered by a student tip. The district claims that ETS asked questions by phone and email but never conducted an on-site investigation, as it did when cheating occurred during exams at Oakland's Skyline High School in 2011 and Trabuco Hills High School in Mission Viejo in 2008. As a result of the investigation at Skyline, only 30 exams were invalidated.
Jessica Liang, who is headed to Yale University, said the disparity makes a mockery of the College Board's motto of equal opportunity.
"The students at Mills are not cheaters," Liang said, "but we're being treated worse than students at Skyline High School, where it was proved there was actual student misconduct."
ETS has declined to answer specific questions about the inquiry at Mills, but spokesman Tom Ewing defended the company, which administered more than 4 million AP tests for the College Board this year and invalidated fewer than 6,000.
"The investigation of the student-reported unfair testing environment at Mills High School was thorough and conclusive," Ewing said, "and the findings were confirmed by the school's leadership."
ETS understands students are frustrated and disappointed, Ewing added, but the seating irregularities at Mills were too widespread to allow ETS to determine if anyone cheated.
Speier, D-Hillsborough, praised ETS and the College Board for taking steps to help the students, from expediting the scoring of retests now scheduled for Aug. 9-19 to contacting colleges on their behalf.
The district initially reported as many as 224 students had their exams invalidated. Officials now say the scores of 286 students were negated and 643 tests were invalidated. The ETS did score 91 tests.
Student frustration
ETS is offering the opportunity to retake the exams for free, but a number of students don't plan to take them, meaning they won't receive AP credit. Some will be traveling or leaving for college. Others fear they'll do poorly compared to peers who took the tests in May after months of preparation.
Students claim the invalidation has caused them various problems. Some who took the tests as seniors say they have to enroll in introductory college courses they otherwise could have skipped, which could cost their families thousands of dollars if they are unable to graduate as quickly as they'd planned. A parent of an incoming senior said the family is worried that the absence of scores could hurt his chances this fall when he submits early-deadline college applications.
Ten students shared their thoughts with this newspaper by phone and email on what they've learned from the fiasco. Most expressed cynicism about corporate behavior but said they felt empowered by their own ability to mobilize a response.
Jennifer Kao, who will attend UC Berkeley this fall, said ETS and the College Board trampled on hardworking students to "uphold the 'integrity' of tests that, as evidenced, were never compromised." Even so, she remained optimistic.
"This experience has taught me the importance of persistence, collaboration and teamwork in organizing a movement and made me aware that as long as there is a cause, there is a community that cares," said Kao, 17. "After all, if we, as students, don't stand up for our own test-taker rights, how can we be expected to stand up against our society's other injustices in the future?"

Zach Boyett threw four touchdown passes and De'Angelo Hernandez ran for 204 yards and one score as the Salesian High football team beat rival St. Mary's 42-26 in a Tri-County Athletic League Rock Division game on Friday night at Laney College.
Boyett completed all 10 passing attempts, throwing scoring passes of 38 and 30 yards to Tyrone Morgan, and 24 and 50 yards to Trevor Morgan.

Flemer completed 23 of 47 passes for 272 yards.
Despite all the offensive fireworks, the Salesian defense stopped St. Mary's (3-4, 1-2 TCAL Rock) on three drives inside its own 10-yard line.
Salesian (7-1, 3-1) maintained a 20-13 lead at the half when Flemer fourth-down pass to Coleman was broken up at the Pride 10 with 27.6 seconds left.
Salesian took the lead in the second period when Boyett threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Trevor Thomas with 5:09 left and Hernandez ran in the two-point conversion.
St. Mary's had taken a 13-12 lead just three plays earlier with Flemer threw a 33-yard scoring pass to Coleman with 6:35 remaining in the half.
Salesian took a 12-6 lead in the first quarter when Kameron Carr ran six yards for a score with 1:32 left. The Pride drove 94 yards in seven plays, with Hernandez running 51 yards to the Panthers' 9 to set up the score.
Salesian tied the game at 6-6 with 6:45 left in the first quarter when Boyett threw a 38-yard TD pass to Tyrone Morgan.
The Panthers took a 6-0 lead in the first period when Andrew Abrams recovered a fumble on Salesian's first play from scrimmage and Flemer drove St. Mary's 61 yards in nine plays, throwing a 15-yard scoring pass to Phillip with 8:30 left.
Hernandez ran nine times for 117 yards in the first half for Salesian. Flemer was 14 of 24 for 147 in the first half for the Panthers.

Beneva shopping center in foreclosure
Published: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 24, 2013 at 10:12 p.m.
SARASOTA - USBank has filed to foreclose on a $2.9 million loan to a New York company that owns a 130,206-square-foot shopping center on Beneva Road, records show.
The center at 501 N. Beneva Road housed a Sweetbay supermarket that was shut down in February because it was one of 33 the chain labeled as under-performing.
The company that owns the Beneva center is RCP Sarasota Ltd., a New York company managed by Jonathan A. Rosen, records show.
RCP borrowed the money in March 1997 to finance its $3.28 million purchase of the shopping center.
Earlier this year, Bi-Lo Holdings bought Sweetbay, announcing plans to convert the remaining stores over to the Winn-Dixie brand.
Ten Sweetbay stores remain open in Southwest Florida and presumably will be part of the conversion.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team returns to the Dugan Family Soccer and Track Stadium for the Islanders Soccer Classic this weekend. Campbell, Texas Southern, Dallas Baptist and St. Edward's will join the host Islanders at the event.
On Friday, Aug. 30, Campbell will take on Texas Southern at 2 p.m. at Dugan Stadium, with the host Islanders set to face Dallas Baptist in the second game of the day at 4:30 p.m. The Camels fell 3-0 to Marshall in their season opener, while Texas Southern has gone 0-3 on the season, being outscored 27-3 over that span.
The host Islanders will be in search of their first victory of the season after a heartbreaking loss at the hands of Houston in the program's inaugural match. Over 1,000 fans were in the stands to see the Islanders fight to a 2-1 defeat to the Cougars, with Alyssa Miller scoring the first goal in program history.
Dallas Baptist should provide a stiff test for A&M-Corpus Christi, as the Patriots were ranked 14th in the nation in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America preseason Division II poll and were recently ranked second nationally by the National Christian College Athletic Association. They will be playing for the first time this season.
On Sunday, the Classic will conclude with the Islanders taking on Campbell at 11 a.m. and TSU facing St. Edward's at 1:30. SEU is picked as the preseason favorite in the Heartland Conference, edging out DBU for the top spot in that poll.
