News 12 at 6 o'clock, February 14, 2008
Right now, you could have heart disease and not know it.
You look fine.
You feel fine.
You might not be fine, though.
In fact, your first warning could be a heart attack.
This sounds scary, t a local hospital now has a new tool to help you.
Doctors at University Hospital can now look at your heart in ways they've never been able to see it before.
Teresa Waters is a big fan of the 64 Slice.
As Director of Cardiovascular Services at University, she has seen what the machine, and the images it produces, can do for patients.
She's been working in cardio for 25 years, and since she started, she's watched more and more patients get diagnosed with heart disease.
She's also seen more and more patients who didn't know they had heart problems until it was too late.
Dr. Ward Rogers runs the noninvasive lab at University, so he works closely with Teresa and the 64 Slice.
"This can detect coronary disease, or hardening of the arteries of the heart, at an earlier stage than essentially any other technology we have available," says Dr. Rogers.
It can actually show doctors your arteries and what's inside them, which Dr. Rogers says is so important because "you can't tell by listening to their heart; you can't tell by looking at them; you can't tell by looking at an E.K.G."
However, you can tell with the images from the 64 Slice.
Dr. Rogers suggested I give it a try.
The whole process takes around 5 minutes, and it's very simple.
You lay down on a "table," and after getting fitted with a heart monitor to make sure your heart remains calm, the "table" takes you through what looks like a large dough nut.
You take a series of deep breaths while the machine does the work for you.
You just need to stay as still as possible, like when when you get an X-Ray.
Doctors at University say a reason they're so excited about the 64 Slice is that it costs patients in the low hundreds.
The next best way to get this information costs thousands and is invasive, so there is some risk to the patient.
Dr. Rogers wanted to test me because I have no symptoms.
I'm also young, but certainly not too young to have heart disease.
I work in a stressful job, and I hate to admit it, but I don't have the best diet.
You get the idea.
I could be at risk.
According to my results, though, I have nothing to worry about.
Dr. Rogers wasn't able to find any calcium in my arteries, which is wonderful news.
Teresa wasn't so lucky.
That's right.
The Director of Cardio had calcium in her arteries and didn't even know it, until she got in the machine.
Looking at Teresa, you'd never know.
She's young and slim, but she says "You can't tell on the outside, you know. It's the genes that you're delt with, it's also eating habits and exercise."
In her case, family history was silently working against her.
Now, she has a chance to stop history from repeating itself.
"I got much more aggressive with my diet. I am also exercising three days a week, " says Waters.
So, Teresa isn't just saving your life anymore.
She's saving her own.

3.9-9 Control
Revised to September 28, 2012
The legal responsibility for maintaining premises in a reasonable safe condition depends upon who is in possession of the land, that is, who has control of the premises. "Control" means the power or authority to manage, superintend, direct, oversee, restrict or regulate.
In considering whether a party is one who controls the premises, you can consider evidence of the following:
acts of maintenance, such as fixing, repairing, cleaning, painting, performing upkeep - or the power to direct those activities;
acts of inspection such as conducting or directing inspections or surveys of the property;
acts restricting or allowing entry onto the premises;
acts warning others of conditions or boundaries on the property, or setting or laying out rules for conduct upon the property;
using the premises or property to store things, or to receive mail, visitors, customers or deliveries.
You must determine whether the plaintiff has proved that the defendant was in control of the premises at the relevant time. If the plaintiff has not so proved, then you must end your inquiry and return a verdict for the defendant. If the plaintiff has so proved, then you must consider whether the plaintiff has proved the other necessary parts of (her/his) case in making a determination of your verdict.
See LaFlamme
v. Dallessio, 261 Conn. 247, 256-57 (2002); Panaroni
v. Johnson, 158 Conn. 92, 98-100 (1969); Kirby v.
Zlotnick, 160 Conn. 341, 344 (1971).
Subsequent remedial measures, though not admissible to prove negligence, may be admissible and can be considered by the jury if offered to establish the defendant's control of the premises.
Hall v. Burns, 213 Conn. 446, 457 (1990); Wright v. Coe & Anderson, Inc., 156 Conn. 145, 155 (1968).
A case may involve a dispute over whether a defendant had control of the portion of the premises where the alleged defect was located, as distinguished from control of the larger area around it. In that instance, the judge should consider describing the precise area where the alleged defect was located, instead of using the general terms "premises" or "property."

Has anyone here experienced IT Band issues during training or a race? I am trying to figure out what the main cause is. It happened to me in a race after 35 miles and has been lingering ever since. I finally broke down and went to the doc and got a referral to an ortho. What I am concerned about is bike set-up, could this be the culprit??? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, how long does this injury usually last? Will it ever go away entirely?
Ok, 20 questions is over,
Thanks in advance,
I've had IT band issues since I started running 6 years ago. I guess it really depends where you feel the most pain. Is it on the side of your thigh, hip or knee?
Orthos are ok to go to. You might want to consider PT or going to a Chiropractor or someone who will do graston/ultrasound/etc on it to remove the buildup in your band/muscles. Its not something that will just go away on its own since the ITB doesnt recieve a very good blood supply to clear out what is bothering you. Biking can be a major cullprit due to the band rubbing on the lateral condyle.
As far as how long treatment will take... it depends on the severity. I personlly prefer graston to breakdown the "bad" tissues. This needs to be done multiple times.
An easy self-treatment that gives some temporary relief is rubbing a frozen cup of ice over the area or even buying The Stick.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Good luck!
Thanks for the info. I guess what I am curious about the most is why this cropped up all of a sudden and now won't go away. I have trained on this particular bike for some time now and gradually built up distances and intensities at a very conservative rate. I am going to see the ortho tomorrow and have already been referred to stat PT 3 times a week for a month, I guess I will see what comes of it.
Thanks again,
Hi Anthony, I have experienced IT band, and have finally tried something that has made it go away without having to wait months to recover. I put oil on the side of my leg and my husband takes a stick(homeade smooth stick) and rub it from my hip down. It hurts like CRAZY! However, it will loosen up the tightness. The more he rubbed it the more tolerable it was to lie there. Have someone massage it for you for about 10 min or until it loosens up and everyday if possible. Also, I think that since I mixed biking and swimming in with my running workouts has helped me get rid of this pesty injury.
I had ITB several years ago training for a marathon. It took along time to get rid of it completely. While part of my issue was over use (not ramping up mileage at appropriate rate) its sounds like you have added miles carefully. My next question would be do you stretch regularly? I NEVER did until after this injury. I have a friend that is a certified sports massage therapist and went to her. Should could not believe how tight my leg muscles were. If you are doing PT then I am sure they have shown you stretches to target this area. But I am wondering if a lack of stretching prior to your injury is maybe what caused it. Now I stretch my quads, calfs, hams, and IT Band streches prior to and after each work out. Never had a problem again. Just a thought. Good luck!
Have you ever used a foam roller? I've experienced pretty severe pain associated with my IT band, but since combining some IT band specific stretches and using a foam roller after workouts and sometimes before going to bed has pretty much eliminated the problem. Foam rollers cost about $8-20, depending on size, and you can probably find them at any major sporting good store. There are some useful web sites on how to use them as well.
Here's one with pictures: http://www.smiweb.org/massage/downloads/roller.pdf
An IT band stretch I commonly do involves getting into a deep lunge position with one foot forward with the opposite knee on the ground. Hold stretch for about 10 seconds. You should feel the stretch in the quad of the leg on the ground. Then move the forward foot from the starting position over to the left by about one-two inches. You should feel the stretch in the quad and outer thigh area. Hold stretch 10. Then move the forward foot past the original starting position by one-two inches and to your right. Hold stretch for 10. You should feel the stretch in quad and groin. Switch legs and repeat.
Hope this helps!
Hey, I've been there. I went for a 20 mile hike (that I wasn't ready for) and the following day my leg was swollen straight. After much physical therapy, I had surgery on my IT Band. I do not recommend anyone having this surgery. The doctor said it was due to too much muscle around my knee and not enough every where else. After the surgery, it was as if I had no muscles. I had to learn to walk again and eventually how to run. It has been two years and I'm still really weak in my right leg. Everyone's suggestions are right on target and is exactly what will happen if you decide to go to PT = which I encourage greatly!!! Do everything in your power to prevent further injury and of course surgery!!!! Oh, concerning your bike set up, as long as you are extending your legs (meaning your seat height is where it should be & your not going to knee yourself in the face) then the bike should be good. Stretch more than you usually do before and after. Ask the doctor (ortho or pt) for some stretches, because not streching can be a leading cause of IT pain.
After 3 months now of research, doctors visits and picking others brains, the consensus is stretching before and after, I think I will also buy a "magic stick", similar to the afore mentioned foam roller. I am going to be attending PT next week and hopefully be getting some good stretches. Thanks again!

He's in Manila to take the JITSE, a standard IT examination that'll give him more qualifications for his work in Japan. I appreciate the fact that Jerome managed to take time off from his busy schedule (advocating .NET is a full-time job! =) ) to give Dave JITSE tips and chat about life, and I'm glad that the rest of my friends made him feel welcome. =)
"Dave's a nice guy to talk to. I guess I can imagine why he and Sacha get along," blogged Marcelle. Yeah, Dave's awesome. Always smiling, always warm and open. Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing him upset even once. If you read the friends-locked posts on his Livejournal, you'll know he's a Good Guy.
With few exceptions, my friends generally get along very well with each other, and I'm glad he fits right in. Too bad Dominique won't get to meet him, though. They'd get along, too. =) (But then again, Dominique gets along with everyone...)
I hope Dave has fun on the test, and I hope he enjoys Manila!

I might be missing something, but I can't see how to read LTYPE information. Looking at dll_dxf.cpp, processDXFGroup() doesn't include a check for "LTYPE".
I'm just about to upgrade to the latest version so I could use the new function processCodeValuePair() to pull out the data and process it myself, but I'm suprised that the function isn't in place already as it seems line type is quite a fundemental thing to need.

Visit the Smithsonian's African Art Museum.
Coalition building between Sampson and Nick did not go as well as we had hoped. We decided not to continue their introductions; since they did not like each other very much, we were not going to force the issue.
Instead, we decided to do fence-line introductions with Nick and Amani's boys (Ashaki, Zephyr, and Pounce) who are five months younger than Nick. We let them bond through the fence while giving Amani's boys some time away from their family. It seemed like they all really liked Nick and enjoyed running the fence line with him. We decided that instead of introducing Nick to all three males we would move forward with full introductions with Ashaki and Nick.
The introductions went very well. They are now living together full time. Zephyr and Pounce are also a coalition and are separated from their mother and sisters now that they are 17 months old. We will begin Damisi and Savanna's separation from Amani shortly since we plan to breed Amani again in the spring. Amani has been going into estrus a lot lately and seems ready for a new adventure, and so are we!
Zazi and Maggie left this morning for their new home at the Little Rock Zoo in Arkansas. Their new enclosure has a fake termite mound and a really nice downed tree for them to climb on. Their new keepers told us that Zazi has already homed in on the kudu next door, and they are pretty sure she wants to eat them! Zazi and Maggie have also heard the blue cranes vocalize and the Ankole cows mooing in the distance. They will be great exhibit cats for the zoo.
Maggie will probably be approved to breed in the future and, when she is old enough, the Species Survival Plan (SSP) will determine what facility she will be sent to for breeding. We were sad to see them leave us, but we are excited for their new adventure. Check out their new exhibit!
Amani's cubs have already turned one year old! They are such big kids now. They are still really playful but look almost like adults. Ashaki and Pounce are the largest of the five weighing a little over 80 pounds, and Damisi is still the smallest at 63 pounds.
I am able to work with each individual cub now, and I have trained them to accept Frontline applications, scale, and crate training. I will be working on injection training for the future. They have been moved to another yard and have been having fun exploring. We threw a birthday party for them last Friday. Their "cub cake" was made out of meat and bloodsicles layered together with bones and rats frozen into it. They loved it! They shared very well, and their mother Amani helped them enjoy their cake too. They also had streamers, wrapped boxes and gift bags with treats inside.
On March 28, Amani and her five cubs moved to a new yard! The move went very well. We opened the gate, and Amani had no hesitation and went right out to explore. The cubs needed a little urging to leave their home and to follow their mother, but once they were in "lovers' lane" they went right into the open gate of their new home. They are doing very well in their new yard. They are now located along the road and are more visible. They have the same neighbor, Sanurra, but now they have other neighbors across from them as well. They love lying on their mound as you can see in the pictures. They are almost 11 months old and now weigh between 58 and 78 pounds!
Amani's cubs have been enjoying having access to the yard next door to their home. They have experienced having a neighbor and have enjoyed investigating a new enclosure. Our new female from South Africa, Sanurra, is their neighbor. She has been very nice to the cubs and enjoys running the fence line with them. Amani's cubs are now 10 months old and have been enjoying new tasty additions to their diets and have started eating separately. I am still weighing them weekly. They are huge! Ashaki the largest male now weighs 30 kilograms (68 pounds) and Damisi our smallest female weighs 23 kilograms (52 pounds). The other female cub Savanna has learned how to jump on top of the huts so she can get a better view of things. They keep me laughing all day!
We have started the process of building our new cheetah coalition between Nick and Sampson.
Nick is now 14 months old and Sampson (Sam) is 20 months old. Sam is still very playful and it has seemed to us since he arrived here from South Africa in September of 2011 that he would like to have a buddy. Nick is at the age where we are starting to separate him slowly (what we call a "soft separation") from his foster-mom, Zazi, and foster-sister, Maggie. For about the last month, Nick has been spending his days in the yard next to Sam, with one yard between him and his family. At first, Nick was unsure of Sam and was a little aggressive toward him on the fence. Sam still just seemed to want to play with a new friend!
Recently, we have started feeding Nick in the building with Sam. They are doing very well getting used to each other and we see less aggression between them on the fence. Nick has also started spending some nights in the yard next to his family so that they have access to each other through the fence, but are not physically in the same yard or building.
The separation process of juveniles is always hard, and it will be even more difficult for Nick because he is a single male. If he had brothers, he would be staying with them for his lifetime. We are hoping that giving Nick a buddy will help the separation process from his family. The next steps are to continue gradually having Nick spend more and more time away from his family and next door to Sam. Then, when we think Nick is ready, we will move Nick and Sam next door to each other on the other side of the facility so that Zazi and Maggie are not nearby and the separation from his family will be complete.

Delivering Application-Optimized Solutions While Harnessing Mobile Computing Ecosystem
ARM defines "Embedded Computing" as equipment that performs computing functionality, yet is provided as a "black box". This means preloaded applications, and no capability for the users of the equipment to add new hardware functionality or new applications. Applications include digital signage, ATM (cashpoint) machines and factory automation. Unlike personal computers, these systems are have significantly higher levels of reliability, which places tighter demands on the system architect in terms of thermal considerations (typically no mechanical fan to disipate heat can be tolerated), temperature range of operation, form factor and power. Increasingly, several of ARM's silicon partners are viewing this as an adjacent market segment to the tablet area, providing an opportunity to sell existing devices (potentially qualified to ensure operation over a wider temperature range) and software solutions to additional customers.

Computing platforms are at the heart of a range of systems, including digital signage, industrial control and medical platforms. Many of these platforms are locally and remotely connected to other systems. Unlike PCs where there is a toleration of hardware or software failure, many of these embedded platforms must have a higher tolerance to failure and immunity to security attacks.

CHAR-KOOSTA Newspaper of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian Reservation •«LlÉln*^* VOLUME 13 NUMBER 11 THE HUNTING MONTH OCTOBER 2, 1984 Tribal electronics firm gets $2.3 million contract "Are we happy? Something like that," Mike Tarter said, after receiving word that the Tribes' newest enterprise, S & K Electronics, was low bidder on a $2.3 million dollar contract to build 51,000 tank heaters for the Dept of Defense The contract will enable S & KE to hire The name Char-Koosta is derived from Chief Charlo's and Chief Koostatah's names. They were the Tribes' last traditional chiefs. 20 hourly production workers next January and February, plus an unspecified number of support personnel, all of whom can expect 3V2 years of work The contract has a "200% option clause", Tarter said, which means they can agree to make still more heaters over the next decade. Tarter is the firm's general manager. The telegram carrying official word of the contract awarding was received Sept 25. Unlike a previously-reported $750,000 contract that is still in limbo, the $2.3 million deal is a sure thing and can't be protested, Fred Houle, Jr., told the Tribal Council Sept 21. Ironically, the protested contract is for 13,000 of the same type of heaters. Tarter said he has a roster of 80 names on file from which to draw when work is due to begin, but the enterprise is willing to take more applications at its two-miles-north-of-Pablo headquarters Turn west at mile marker 54 or call 883-6241. «5 if) so 5 ori SC O?

Birch-man granted the request for more time, scheduling another pre-trial meeting on Oct 9. Asked why apparently stalemated talks were to resume, Wall said, "Everyone has a different perception of progress. 1 think a small bit of progress was made" She wouldn't give any details except to note that both sides were still communicating and "neither side had stormed out" of the first round of talks.

After a random drunken trawl through wikipedia (the lazy man's Big Book of Facts 1974), Wales on Sunday's royal correspondent and chief photocopier, Iwan Philips made a huge discovery. "It turns out that Henry VII was born in Wales. This means that his son, Henry VII+1 was technically Wales on Sunday Welsh" shouted Philips down a phoneline at 3 o'clock in the morning. "This is great news for the paper as we can now quote everything he says as being Welsh. Also his kids were eligible to play for Wales. Had rugby existed."
Academics at The University of Aberystwyth were thrilled at the news. As thrilled as an academic can be. Even more so than when they find a cardigan in a new type of beige wool. " It all stands to reason." explained Dr Phil McRack at the newly renamed Aberystwyth and Swansea University College. "For years we've wondered why Henry VIII had had so many women and got away with killing two of them and expecting everyone to worship him as the head of a religion. The answer was looking us squarely in the face. He was Welsh." McRack, senior lecturer at the newly formed University of the West of Wales who will be writing his findings in a journal article that only 4 people will ever read, pointed to wider consequences "It's now obvious why he had a son who was too weak to even play in the backs and two daughters who hated each other." The Wales on Sunday wish to celebrate the promotion of Philips with a 20 page summary of all Wales of Sunday Welsh people including Kylie, Rolf Harries, Maureen O'Hara, Hugh Grant, Elvis, Thomas Jefferson and Emlyn Hughes.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Tuesday, April 23, 2013
WAYNESBORO, Ga. (WRDW) -- Another police officer has resigned from the Waynesboro Police Department -- marking the sixth officer to leave in a couple of months. This pattern is starting to concern residents, and they are not the only ones affected. There's growing concern in the business community, too.
"It gets big. In this section, we have over 100 people come in just for karaoke. In the other section, we have around 200 -- maybe a 150," said the manager of Camino Real Mexican Restaurant.
Close to 300 people will be filling the Camino Real Restaurant in less than two weeks. They are all coming to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
"They'll sing, they'll drink, they'll eat. And just stay around and drink some more, and they will never leave," said Manager Paolo Ortiz.
Ortiz says one of his priorities is to make sure everyone is having a good time, but his other one is safety. And he depends on the Waynesboro Police Department on his biggest day of business.
"We actually get two city police department people to come in and what they will do is go to each doorway and check IDs," Ortiz said.
But the main reason they hire the officers is for crowd control and alcohol. Sometimes drinks can raise tempers.
"They'll monitor everything. As soon as this room gets really packed, they'll start bringing people outside because there's a certain limit on how many people can come in here," Ortiz said.
Ortiz says there's also a certain limit to how long the city should take to hire a chief. He believes the lack of a top cop is the reason officers keep leaving.
"If you don't have leadership or a police chief in charge, you don't know what to do. You don't know who to listen to because everyone is telling you what to do. Especially the young police," he said.
And while Ortiz doesn't know who to blame, one longtime Waynesboro resident has an idea.
"It's got to be due to money or the council or something. They are not doing something right," said David Davis.
However, Davis does have a thought on how to keep officers on the force here.
"Up the pay rate for the police officers," he said.
The Waynesboro Police Department is not that big, even when it's fully staffed. The whole department has 25 to 30 employees, so having six leave is definitely noticed around town.

Ran a 10K back in late September and hurt my leg...kept running (I know, not good) and when the pain got worse after a few weeks I went to the Dr. Had an XRay and MRI and was diagnosed with a stress fracture and I'm in the initial "keep all weight off" phase, which I'll admit I'm not perfect on but I do keep it in a boot most of the day. Does not hurt to hobble on it anymore and the area is still a bit swollen but not tender to the touch like it was.
Just wondering if others have had this type of injury and what the usual time is for it to heal to the point of running again...I was up to 20 miles/week before the injury, and I want to be able to ski this winter and run a half marathon next spring/summer.
I've managed to fracture both of my fibulas (twenty years apart).
The first fracture (right at the beginning of ski season, but not skiing related) had me in a walking cast (good old white plaster back then) and my surgeon told me to stay "non-weight bearing" (NWB) for five days; after that I could walk on the cast and had little pain. The cast came off after six weeks, and it took me an easy month after that before I felt strong enough to lightly jog. I finally started running about six weeks post cast (twelve weeks post break), and by the end of that track season I was fully back in the swing of things.
The second fracture was pretty severe and was coupled with a partially removed foot. After my surgery I was kept NWB for six months and then in a walking boot for another six weeks. Worse still, the surgeon told me I'd walk with a limp for the rest of my life and I'd never run again. I was able to lose the limp after maybe a year, but the running thing didn't get restarted for a whopping six years. I finally discovered that if I ran on a dirt trail, the asymmetry of my stride due to my range of motion issues was compensated for by the soft ground. It took a while, but I was finally able to start lifting my feet and approximate something akin to a jog, which was a marked improvement compared to shuffling through the dirt. Now, four years later I'm putting in over sixty miles per week; it's almost as if it never happened.
It sounds like you might have an injury approximately the same as my first fracture, however, I opted to tell you about my second one as well. Why? To suggest to you that when you do start running again, you might want to find a dirt trail or a golf course or someplace with a soft surface. I cannot stress enough how much, ummm, stress, is eliminated by running on a soft surface.
Fat old man PRs:
Great stuff from Shipo, but I'm curious about your history with sport, and whether the injury resulted from trauma due to a misstep or fall, and whether you were properly conditioned for the 10k.
It's no secret that the net effect of running and other load-bearing sports is to toughen bone and increase density. However, this does not happen overnight, and it's always possible to walk into a workout or contest unprepared, vulnerable to a fracture that should not have happened.
Another concern I have is whether, like most Americans, you might be deficient in one or more vital minerals. Calcium is all around us - they put it in almost everything these days - but there are several other minerals that may be poorly represented in your diet, or that you may not be absorbing sufficiently. Magnesium is often chief among these, because so much is required, and it is hard to absorb. Here's a somewhat commercial explanation that explains it better, though I cannot vouch for the suggested supplement.
Many foods are rich in these minerals, but are not found to any great extent in the average diet. There are also important vitamins, such as D & K, that are harder to come by with our indoor UV-shielded lifestyle and avoidance of fermented foods.
I would get checked for deficiencies in all these areas, and make sure you don't compete in any events without working your way up gradually to the challenge you are asking your body to endure.
I think you will achieve your goals, if you prepare like a champion nutritionally as well as physically. Expect some setbacks in performance after this injury, but expect also to come back stronger in the future like Shipo did. Above all, patience, then preparedness, and persistence are key to your success.
I broke both my tib & fib years ago, was laid up for 6 months to atrophy, limped for a while, felt pain for years, and eventually took up marathoning to BQ. Just don't be passive about your rehab. Keep your eyes on the prize, and take care of yourself proactively, as only you can do.
Been running on a reglar basis since March, 4x/week Up to about the week of the 10K three runs were in the 4.3 mile range and on the weekend I would do a long run of just over 6 miles (yes that run should have been longer). I'd admit that the 10K run was a push and I did do a PR. I also walked on some uneven ground later that same day (apple picking) and I do wonder if I "tweaked" the ankle then, and my runnng and other workouts just made that all worse.
At this time I'm guessing this was just a situation where I pushed things too hard. That said, I also tend to run duck-footed on the right leg where the fracture occurred. Plan is to also mention that with the orthopedist next week and go from there.
Good advice to have a look at my diet to see if there could be a problem there as well.
Looking forward to getting off the crutches, the back pain from using them is more of a bother than the leg at this point.
Update...after several weeks I'm trying to get back into runs again. Did so based on no pain on longish walks (50 minutes) and no pain on the stationary bike. More of a challenge with the cold wx but I've done two slow runs of about 2.8 miles each (10:00 pace compared to 8:40 pace before injury). Leg was sore during and after the runs but not enough to need pain meds or to keep me from walking around afterwards. Mainly want to know if I should still expect some discomfort for a while, or perhaps I'm pushing too hard?
Backed off of running for a few more weeks. Finally did another shorter run today after a few run/walk workouts and so far the area around the fracture feels OK. Still going to take it easy but that's not hard to do since I lost several months of conditioning.
In my case time to heal enough to resume seems to be about 3 months.
Yes, I agree that apple picking on uneven ground, the day of your PR, after insufficient training, was probably the perfect storm that caused your injury. While I've seen worse, many would not be back in the saddle so soon. What bothers me is the "duck footed" adaptation in response to the injury. This kind of muscular compensation syndrome rarely ends well. It often results in hip injuries, knee injuries, or injuries to the foot. I would not be surprised if it has as much to do with your back pain as those crutches.
This gait problem needs to be trained out asap, preferably by a professionally trained sports PT. Please do not extend your mileage until this "alignment" problem is fixed, or we'll be hearing from you again about one of the other problems I mentioned above. Congratulations on your partial recovery. I sincerely hope it becomes a full recovery in 2014, with many more PRs to come!

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A former hospital worker at Georgia Regents Medical Center has been indicted on sexual battery charges.
Bernard Edwards, a former mental health technician, is charged with two counts of aggravated sexual battery, two counts of sexual assault against a patient in a hospital, simple battery and child molestation.
District Attorney Ashley Wright says Edwards' arraignment is set for March 28 at 9 a.m.
Georgia Regents Medical Center issued the following statement on Edwards:
"The arrest of Bernard Edwards, a former Mental Health Technician at Georgia Regents Medical Center, is a pending criminal matter and no further comment concerning the facts of his case will be issued at this time. His employment with the institution has been terminated and we will continue to partner with investigating agencies and the Georgia Attorney General's office to resolve this matter.
This is an unfortunate and regrettable occurrence and in no way reflects the behavior and character of Georgia Regents Medical Center employees. The safety and security of our patients is our top priority and we will continue to take all reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of our patients, visitors and staff."

August 9, 2005
Aiken County's first public performing arts school opened Tuesday. As News 12 reports, students and educators at Aiken Performing Arts Academy say this school is filling a big need.
Reading, 'riting, 'rithamatic…and rumba? That's school for 45 Aiken County students starting at Aiken Performing Arts Academy, or APA. Tenth grader Briann Moore drives here from North Augusta because they offer something the county's traditional public schools don't.
"They have art classes, but they don't have performing arts classes, so this was a good school for me to come to," Moore said.
APA was started to fill that gap in Aiken County's traditional schools.
"We are trying to meet the needs of a specific population of people. The school district a lot of times gets bogged down dealing with the students they already have," said Tfifany Palmer.
The school focuses on dance, theater, visual arts and music. And studies show students who learn these things score well on academics.
Dance teacher Tfifany Palmer believes this charter school is filling a niche and at public school price – free.
"We have a lot of students in here who used to take dance or used to take art, but ran out of money," Palmer said.
APA Academy is run by the same administration as Lloyd-Kennedy Charter School, which is starting it's fourth year. Lloyd-Kennedy is a middle school and many of it's students plan to move up to the high school. But next year both schools will be in a new campus off Valcluse Road, the first step towards what educators hope is a long future.
Leaders want to see APA turn into something like Davidson Fine Arts School in Augusta. But most of all, they want to point students like Briann into a life of success.
Construction will start on the new school building before Christmas. The Assistant Director of the Performing Arts Academy is Aiken City Councilwoman Beverly Clyburn.

Single Facebook Post Unravels $80,000 Settlement
Judges and jurors aren't the only ones in the legal system who have to watch what they say on Facebook. Under a recent ruling in Florida, litigants have to mind their social-media P's and Q's as well.
A state appeals court last week threw out an $80,000 settlement between a Miami prep school and a former headmaster after the headmaster's daughter boasted about it to her friends on Facebook.
The dispute concerned a settlement of an age-discrimination and retaliation lawsuit that Patrick Snay brought against Gulliver Schools after it decided not to renew his contract.
Four days after the agreement was inked in November 2011, the school notified Mr. Snay that he had breached the agreement, according to the court opinion. The school cited a Facebook comment posted by his college-age daughter, who wrote: "Mama and Papa Snay won the case against Gulliver. Gulliver is now officially paying for my vacation to Europe this summer. SUCK IT."
The school's lawyers claimed the Facebook comment constituted a breach of the confidentiality terms of the settlement and therefore it was no longer obligated to pay up. Florida's Third District Court of Appeal agreed, reversing a lower court ruling from last year.
"Snay violated the agreement by doing exactly what he had promised not to do," Judge Linda Ann Wells wrote for the appellate court, whose Feb. 26 decision was reported by the Miami Herald. "His daughter then did precisely what the confidentiality agreement was designed to prevent."
A lawyer for the school wasn't immediately available for comment. Law Blog has also reached out to Mr. Snay's lawyers for comment.
In deposition testimony, Mr. Snay disputed that his family had violated the agreement. He explained that he and wife thought they needed to let their daughter know that their dispute with the school had been put to rest.
Judge Wells also noted that Mr. Snay had said that he never told his daughter that he had "won" the case and that his daughter never actually went to Europe that summer, nor made plans to do so.
That "does not change our analysis," the judge wrote.
Correction: An earlier version of this post incorrectly said a lawyer for Mr. Snay wasn't immediately available for comment.

By Dale Humburg, DU Chief Scientist
The duck season is open in all but a couple of states and zones over the Thanksgiving weekend. With the exception of opening day, that makes late November the most popular waterfowl time of the fall. Many of us choose to add a day or so before the weekend for an extended waterfowl hunt. And most students have an extra day or two away from school as well, making this a prime time for renewing hunting traditions with family and friends. It may not be the best time of the season from a duck harvest perspective; however, it often coincides with changes in the weather, habitat, and bird migrations.
In northern states, decoys are likely to freeze in the ice, and waterfowlers are looking to big water or rivers for late season opportunities. Mid-latitude states are likely right on the edge of recent or pending migrations – sometimes the last of the year. Southern states might still be in a "wait and see" mode with early migrants already on site and only initial mallards and diving ducks setting up winter residence.
Biologically, it's a really dynamic time of the year. Birds are trying to maintain body condition, refueling their depleted reserves en route to the wintering grounds. Completing molt and acquiring breeding plumage adds to nutritional demands. And courtship and pairing are already beginning for many species. Habitat for ducks and habitat for duck hunters serve multiple roles this time of year.
It is a bit strange to see considerably more traffic early Friday morning on the way to the duck marsh. Most vehicles are not towing a duck boat, but are on their way to Black Friday sales instead.
Certainly, recent frigid temperatures and several inches of snow in the prairies, hurricanes in the east, and continued dry weather in many parts of the country have presented a lot of uncertainty about expectations for the Thanksgiving weekend.
For me, however, I'm certainly thankful that I'll be duck hunting with my grandson and not shopping!

Dale Humburg has served as Ducks Unlimited Chief Scientist since 2007 and has been involved in waterfowl and wetlands research and management for more than 40 years. He began his waterfowl education with his dad in a duck boat in the mid-1950s, and this has continued ever since. His experience in wetland and waterfowl research has involved semi-permanent marsh management, invertebrate dynamics, willow wetlands, Canada goose wintering ecology, evaluation of waterfowl hunting programs, surveys of waterfowl hunters, and floodplain wetland restoration. Humburg is passionate about passing on the waterfowling traditions that he learned from his father to his grandchildren.

OKAWVILLE, Ill. (AP) — Police have identified a second body found along a freeway in Washington County in less than a month as a St. Louis man.
The Washington County Sheriff's Department said Thursday that 47-year-old Darryl Jackson was found Tuesday near Interstate 64 close to Okawville (OHK'-uh-vihl) in southern Illinois. Washington County Coroner Mark Styninger (STY'-ning-er) ruled Jackson's death a homicide.
The discovery of Jackson's body came three weeks after the remains of 29-year-old Kelvin Swingler of St. Louis turned up along the interstate, also near Okawville. Swingler had been reported missing by his mother on Aug. 25.
The coroner also has ruled that case a homicide.

Javier reads like a typical college freshman.
Majoring in political science, with the casual long-term goal of becoming a diplomat or CEO, he spends his spare time hiking and hanging out with friends.
On the weekends, he comes home to Summit County to go snowboarding with "college buddies."
But Javier isn't typical. He was brought to the U.S. illegally when he was 12 years old. Now, his status as an undocumented immigrant is tripling his tuition rate from that of other in-state freshmen at his school. His ability to afford the next three years of college is uncertain.
"It's a big barrier," said Javier, whose last name the Summit Daily is not releasing due to his legal status. "It's a big gap between in-state and out. ... It frustrates me a little bit."
This week Democrats introduced legislation, known as the asset bill, which would allow undocumented students who attend Colorado high schools for at least three years to qualify for in-state tuition rates at state colleges.
Lawmakers have killed several versions of the bill in recent years, but with Gov. John Hickenlooper's support and Democrats in control of both the House and the Senate, Summit County's Rep. Millie Hamner (D - Dillon) said she thinks the measure could become law this year.
She plans to back the bill if it arrives in the House this session.
"I believe it does have a good shot," said Hamner, who chairs the House Education Committee. "I will do what I can in the chair position to find bipartisan support on the committee. If I need to work a little harder and collaborate a little more to reach agreement, I'm willing to do that."
But the controversial measure has a tough road ahead. With mixed reactions from the public, versions of the bill have been shut down before with Democrats in control of both chambers.
Opponents call the legislation unfair to legal immigrants - who pay out-of-state tuition rates as foreign students - and misleading to illegal immigrants.
"They can't get a job," House Minority Leader Mark Waller (R - Colorado Springs) told The Denver Post. "I think it gives false hope. It's just another attempt for Democrats to make government all things to all people."
The bill would require undocumented students to supply proof that they are applying to become legal residents of the U.S. to qualify for reduced tuition rates.
For a student attending Colorado Mountain College, a full course load is less than $900 per semester. For an out-of-state student, the same semester costs nearly $4,500. Javier says he has friends in the county who are working multiple jobs to cover the cost of the local community college.
"A lot of these students have been in our community for their entire education," said Summit High School teacher Molly Griffith, who leads the pre-collegiate program, intended to assist students who are trying to become the first in their family to go to college. "These are students we all know who participate, volunteer in our community, who play team sports. They deserve this opportunity just as much as any other student."
Javier was one of those kids. He learned English as a middle schooler by volunteering to pick up recycling. In high school, he was an Eagle Scout and a member of the wrestling team.
He says he sees the asset bill as a boon for universities as much as for undocumented students.
"It would change the dynamics of diversity in colleges," he said. "There's a lot of talent and potential out there that we don't know about yet, just because the opportunity is not there for everybody."
Javier made it to a four-year university with the help of scholarships and a donation to cover his first year's tuition. He says the asset bill would help put the next year's costs within his reach, and make a higher education possible for those coming after him.
The bill is set to go before the Senate Education Committee Jan. 24.

I've admired 925s since I first started seeing them in shops and on the road. The 925 is Redline's popular, single-speed, urban bike with slightly slack geometry, wide bullhorn bars, and a 4130 chrome-moly steel frame. It's a simple bike to get you around town or campus and is well thought out with flip-flop hubs, fenders, and aero levers for the ends of the bullhorn. Also notice how the tubes are free of excessive decals. This bike is more about transportation then showing off brand names.

And here's an entire gallery devoted to the topic and of course on flickr (don't get me started with milfs on bikes wearing skirts and heels).
Simple, sturdy, Dutch. The Batavus Lightning is a urban, city bike. It's equipped with Nexus 7 and roller brakes, which means clean lines and just a few cables.
It's modern looking and focused on form and function. With the big Schwable tires, powder-coated 7005 aluminum frame, and heft, the Lightning rides very solid, with sure steering, and comfort. The flat bar and adjustable stem are for an upright position. I was able to climb hills with the gearing and straight up, really dug this bike. There was plenty of tire clearance for fenders.
I just picked up a Dinotte tail light. A real review of the light is coming later after I get a chance to try it out. Mounting the light has been a challenge for many the simple O-ring system included works great for front lights, not so great for tail lights. Dinotte's released an updated frame mount recently, but I'd rather have the light on my excellent Alchemy Goods messenger bag since I frequently switch bikes but always bring my bag.
Here's a mounting option I made for the bag, out of $4 of pvc pipe. It tucks into the external side pockets on the messenger bag. The mount let's me adjust the aim of the light both left/right and up down.

My bicycle is our second car. I love to bicycle in all weather, for all distances, and on all routes. Bicycling has brought so much joy to my life, and I want to share it with anyone who is interested. I will use my soapbox to tell you about the joys, the freedom, the benefits, and, yes, the challenges of bicycling and walking for transportation.
Inspired by a friend, I created a new kind of Advent Calendar this year. Each day we have a different activity. One evening we played a board game, another evening we drank a cup of spiced cider, and tonight we shared something interesting we knew or learned about Pearl Harbor. Here's what I learned.
Irle White rode an old worn out bike for his paper route in Montana. When he heard the news on December 7, 1941, he asked his dad to take him to the bike shop. He needed a new bike that could carry more papers. Half his customers got their paper late since he had to make two trips, and he wanted to take on a second paper route besides. They arrived a few minutes before the store closed. He didn't have quite enough money, so his dad loaned him the balance, then lectured him all the way home about how long it would take him to pay off the loan.
A few months later, the trip to the bike shop would be impossible, because of gas rations and a new 35 mph speed limit. War rations on metal meant few new bikes. The government banned production of children's bikes entirely, and decreed that adult bikes, which weighed on average 57 pounds, be made 10 pounds lighter! Later the weight limit was further reduced to a lean 31 pounds. Bicycle manufacturers discovered that people liked the lighter weight bikes more, and started making bikes even lighter.
At 27 pounds (before I added rack, fenders, basket, lights, etc), my bike isn't considered light nowadays. A modern road bike weighs about 17 pounds. When we think about post-WWII technology, we think about chemicals and plastic and highways. I did not know that WWII also drove the trend toward lightweight bicycles.

U.S. Wind Growth Nears Record in 2003, but 2004 Outlook Dim
The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) announced on January 22nd that 2003 was one of the best years ever for the U.S. wind industry, but its outlook for 2004 is considerably less optimistic. In 2003, a total of 1,687 megawatts of new wind capacity were installed in the United States, just 9 megawatts shy of the record established in 2001. There are now 6,370 megawatts of wind power installed throughout the country, and utility-scale wind turbines are spinning in 30 states. But since the wind energy production tax credit expired at the end of the year, AWEA claims that the industry is now facing layoffs, stalled projects, and a negative near-term market outlook. See the AWEA press release.
Among the wind power projects completed in December 2003 is the 74.25-megawatt Blue Canyon Wind Power Project, built near Lawton, Oklahoma, by Zilkha Renewable Energy. See the Zilkha Web site.
The latest wind industry trends are sure to be a topic of discussion at the Global WINDPOWER 2004 Conference and Exhibition, to be held in Chicago in late March. See the conference Web page.

- Bystander shot and killed in downtown San Jose as cops grapple with overtime demands
SAN JOSE -- A 23-year-old San Jose man was arrested in the killing of nursing student Kimberly Estrada Chico, who was hit by a stray bullet while riding in a car downtown last weekend in a tragic case of an innocent victim unwittingly being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Officers working as part of the San Jose Police Department's gang-suppression detail spotted 23-year-old Johnny Lozano of San Jose just before 6 p.m. Wednesday walking near Senter Road and Coyote Road in South San Jose.
Lozano was wanted in connection with Chico's death, and a photo had been distributed alerting officers to be on the lookout for him after investigators tied him to the downtown shooting early Saturday in the city's entertainment zone.
A battery of police cars arrived at a Beacon gas station where Lozano was arrested. He was taken into custody without incident as a felon in possession of a firearm and ultimately booked on homicide charges after being interviewed by investigators.
San Jose police spokesman Sgt. Jason Dwyer said they are determining what role Lozano may have played in the shooting, and are still searching for additional suspects.
"We're going to go wherever the investigation takes us," he said. "If we identify X amount of suspects, that's how many people we're going to go after. Anybody who's connected with this case, we're going to go after them."
He did not say what led them to identify Lozano as a suspect and added that they do not know if it was a gang-related shooting or if gunfire was exchanged with other parties.
When Lozano was arrested, officers searched him and found a handgun and what appeared to be crack cocaine. Ballistics tests are being performed to determine whether the weapon was the same one used in the deadly shooting. Casings were found at the homicide scene, Dwyer said.
"If it is the weapon used, we have very solid evidence," Dwyer said. "If not, at least we got another gun off the streets."
Chico was riding in a car near South Second and East San Salvador streets just before 2 a.m. Saturday, when a bullet whistled into the vehicle and hit the 19-year-old San Jose State student. The driver, a 21-year-old man whose name was not released, stopped the car and called 911. Chico died at the hospital a short time later.
Police have said Chico was not the target of the gunfire and described her death as a tragic case of an innocent bystander struck by an errant round not intended for her.
"That could have been anybody driving down the street and catching a stray bullet," Dwyer said. "The facts that led up to the homicide are very disturbing, just the fact that she was just an occupant in a vehicle driving down the street, and then one minute she's there, and the next minute she's gone. It's very tough for our detectives to come to grips with."
The East San Jose native graduated from Independence High School in 2012 and set her sights on a nursing career, enrolling at San Jose State and completing a certified nursing assistant program at a Milpitas vocational school. She was also working as an in-home caregiver with Santa Clara-based Life Services Alternatives, which serves adults with developmental disabilities.
Friends described Chico as a driven person who "inspired a lot of people" and determined to chase her dream of becoming a nurse.
The death marked the city's 30th homicide in 2013. Though overall violence and gang homicides have dropped, non-gang-related killings are on the rise. San Jose is on pace to surpass last year's total of 46 homicides, which was a two-decade high.

Google have stepped into the wearables market with the launch of their Android Wear operating system. With both Motorola and LG launching upcoming watches that will use the new operating system this is definitely a space to watch (excuse the pun!).
Rumours have circulated about and Apple iWatch but as yet nothing concrete has emerged, but you can be sure Apple won't miss on on wearables as it ties in perfectly with the rest of their focus.
The Pebble smart watch has been an early contender in this new market, but I think the new offering from Motorola is more likely to capture a more style conscious market.

After months of half-assed speculation and heartless anticipation, Ashley Judd, America's Charlize Theron, has decided she is not going to run for a Senate seat to represent her home state of Kentucky.
She tweeted the news today:
Had she run, Judd, a Democrat, would have been pitting herself against longtime incumbent Mitch McConnell, a turtle-headed Republican who even other Republicans hate. Judd probably would have been able to keep up with McConnell in fundraising, but the Washington Post notes that "McConnell's path to victory involves savaging his opponent," a relatively easy task when that opponent is an inexperienced Hollywood actor.
Surely relieved are certain leading Kentucky Democrats, some of whom worried a widely talked about Judd campaign would cause moderate voters to pivot hard away from other Democrats downballot. In a February interview with Roll Call, a Kentucky Democratic strategist said a Judd run would be "a catastrophe."
Perhaps predicting her stunted political career, the new movie Olympus Has Fallen finds Judd starring as the First Lady. It is said to be a very bad film in which Judd dies right away.

Related Media: Breast Biopsy
Your doctor will discuss your medical history, including any family history of
breast cancer. Your breasts will be examined for characteristic symptoms, including lumps or thickening, nipple discharge or inversion, redness or changes in the skin or contour of the breast. If breast cancer is suspected, the following tests will be done:
is an x-ray of the breast. It can often find tumors that are too small for you or your doctor to feel. The accuracy of a mammogram to detect cancer will depend on several factors. It may be affected by the size of the tumor, your age, breast density, and the skill of the radiologist. Although mammograms are the most sensitive test currently used to evaluate the breast, they will miss 10%-15% of breast cancers.
MRI scan
may have better accuracy in detecting some tumor types. It may be more accurate in cases where the breast tissue is more dense than usual or when breast cancer of both breasts is suspected. MRI scans can also be used if there are conflicting results from other tests, such as a mammogram and ultrasound.
During ultrasonography, sound waves (called ultrasound) are bounced off tissues. The echoes are converted into a picture. Ultrasound is used to evaluate lumps that have been identified through breast self-exam, clinical breast exam, or mammography. They help to see if a mass is solid or has liquid in it. Solid masses are generally more concerning than cystic or liquid-filled masses
Ultrasound may also be used to:
Your doctor will use these tests to help determine the next step. Your doctor may simply continue to monitor you for any future breast changes. Your doctor may also decide to do further testing. In some cases, your doctor may decide to remove a sample of tissue. The sample will be sent to a lab. This sample may be taken by one of the following methods:
Keep in mind that your doctor may recommend proceeding directly to biopsy if the lump is clinically suspicious. The only way to absolutely confirm the diagnosis of breast cancer is by tissue examination.
If cancer is found, your prognosis and treatments depend on the location, size, and stage of the cancer.
The following tests may be done to determine the stage and look for spreading of the cancer:
To determine the stage, the doctor uses the following classification system:
In addition to staging, other factors play a role in your prognosis, including your general health and age. In a large study, for example, younger women (less than age 40), who were initially diagnosed with Stage I or II breast cancer, had lower survival rates compared to older women. Researchers are investigating what may account for this unexpected result.
Tumor markers are proteins that are produced in both cancerous and healthy cells. There are several types of tumor markers present that can be detected in various bodily fluids and tissues. Tumor markers are elevated in the presence of cancer and can be used to detect its presence. Once cancer is diagnosed, tumor marker levels can assist your doctor in determining the stage of your cancer and help guide appropriate treatment. During the course of treatment, tumor markers help determine if the cancer treatment is working.
At this time, there are about 20 tumor markers in use.

What it is
The place is simple and the bartender is famous. Schmidty's at Tiki Bay Marina is one of the Lake's most popular waterfront bars and restaurants.
Schmidty is the 'nom de cocktail' of one of the Lake's best-loved bartenders, the man behind the myth at the Tiki Bay bar.
There has been a restaurant on the property since the 1950s. Over time, there have been a number of drastic changes.
In 2008 the place was known as "a gas station with food. Now it is the place famous for the Walking Taco.
What it is
On the 4 mile marker by water. By land, 39 Knox Road in Rocky Mount.
Insider information
Stop by the Tiki Shop for a souvenir. There is also house rental and boat rentals available.
Open: March-October
Dress: Casual
Prices: $3.95 to $19.95
What's cool about it
Besides the panoramic Lake views, there's a party at Tiki Bay no matter what time of day you cruise by. Fish net hangs from the ceiling, adorned with wooden parrots and sunglasses. Writing on every inch of the plywood bar documents some interesting nights.
The menu
The menu is as unique as the place and includes the Hangover Hamburger, served with a side of Advil. It's a good choice for those who have had one too many signature drinks, some of which combine as many as nine different liquors.

The Delany Piles
As it exists right now, the thesis is about Delany's novels from The Jewels of Aptor through Dhalgren, plus some substantial bits about his early critical essays. I ended up emphasizing the importance of the pornographic novels Equinox and Hogg more than I thought I would when I began, but Equinox seemed to me a pivotal novel separating the pre- and post-Nova books, and Hogg I decided to compare to Dhalgren, because the two books were written almost simultaneously and share some elements; more importantly, I thought, they illustrate a lot about Delany's ideas of reading strategies, because both books exploit and confound the tools readers use to make sense of them.
I expect to have more to say once I've rethought and revised the thesis ... at the moment, I'm just relieved to have one phase of this project complete. Now I can try to catch up with all the emails I owe people and all the other reading I need to do...

Awesome! So when can everybody who's not one of your professors read it?ReplyDelete
Well, one section of it -- about 40% -- is going to be published as part of a project for which I haven't yet signed a contract nor do I know the planned schedule for, so I don't want to say any more, but will say it's pretty darn exciting. The other parts ... well, if I can get them into a shape I actually am satisfied with, I'll probably turn them into articles and begin submitting them places. But I doubt I'll get to that before this summer. Thanks for your interest!ReplyDelete
For reasons you'll understand, I too am interested.ReplyDelete

Congrats on writing it, let alone selling it.ReplyDelete
I meant to email you with memories of the week I spent with Chip when he came to Naropa.
I meant to email you and tell you that my thesis ended up in a volume of the Dictionary of Literary Biography and I was sure yours on Chip could get published somewhere much better than that.
And I meant to email you to say that I've become management at the bookstore again, so I've been too busy to email you...

Wide receiver Quinton Patton hasn't even set foot on the 49ers facility or participated in a practice, but he's already made a lasting impression on coach Jim Harbaugh.
"He's already my favorite guy," Harbaugh said on an interview on KNBR radio Wednesday afternoon.
Patton earned Harbaugh's affection earlier this week when he flew from Nashville to San Francisco on his own dime and called the 49ers to alert them to his pending arrival at the team's facility in Santa Clara.
It seems someone forgot to make it clear to Patton, who was drafted in the fourth round Saturday, that he wasn't permitted to be at the 49ers facility until the first mini-camp next week.
"We had to go, 'You're where? What airport did you fly in to? You're in a rental car driving here?'" Harbaugh said. "'Yeah, coach, 20 minutes away.' We go, 'He can't be here, he can't come here. He's not allowed to be at our facility.'"
If Patton had made it to Santa Clara before being stopped by the 49ers, he wouldn't have been allowed to participate in the mini-camp.
Harbaugh said the 49ers erred by not doing a better job of communicating league rules to the 11 players they selected in the draft. They also informed the league of what transpired.
"The fact that he would buy his own ticket, fly out here, just speaks volumes about him," Harbaugh said of Patton, who last season played for new Cal coach Sonny Dykes at Louisiana Tech. "To be honest with you, he reminds me of me. That's something I would have done. I love it."
Harbaugh said he intends to go up to Patton at the rookie mini-camp and give him a hug.
"If he plays for 10 or 15 years in this league, every time somebody talks about Quinton Patton, they're going to recall the story, 'He was so gung-ho to get his NFL career started that he flew out to San Francisco on his own dime,'" Harbaugh said.

MTV's New Year's broadcast began with the following clip of Jersey Shore's Snooki and SNL's Bobby Moynihan—dressed as Snooki. Inside, they discuss the year that was and get ready for the new year with a "training montage, bitch!"
So how does Jersey's top guidette recall the 365 days that were? "2010 was crazy! There was that oil spill on the golf course, some miners got trapped in a Chilis, and jeggings!" Sounds about right.
