The Stroller: 'You bet'

"Bless your heart," begins Campobello resident Ray W. Varner's response to Larry Cooper's request that someone explain the South's love of guns and war and refusal to accept federal money for education. "Let me attempt to explain," says Mr. Varner. "Federal money comes with strings attached. We, or some of us, here in South Carolina don't believe in all the mandates that the feds attach to that money. Look how smart our federal government is. It's trillions of dollars in debt. Our Congress has a 23 percent approval rating. Some don't read their emails, and it cost the lives of four Americans. Most of the people I know don't hate Northerners or transplants from Florida. We may joke about or with them but don't hate them. Most people I know don't have anything against immigrants. Add the word illegal, and that is a different story. This country has a process to go through to become an American citizen and it worked once upon a time. Now, let's talk about loving war. I have no clue where you got the idea that people here love war. Most folks I know would never want to see this country at war, although sometimes war is necessary. I believe even you would agree with that. But do we love war? No. My God does not like war either and would rather have peace when possible. The Bible states that there is a time for war, and he, God himself, sent the nation of Israel and other nations to war on several occasions. Please read Ecclesiastes, chapter 3. Do the people around here like their guns? You bet! A considerable number of people in South Carolina and all over this country like their guns. I know some folks who would rather sleep with their gun than their spouse, and it's OK to sleep with your gun and your spouse. Mr. Cooper, if only the bad guys had guns, we would sort of be at a disadvantage. I realize some folks are afraid of having a gun in their house, and that's OK — advantage, bad guy. Other folks have sort of a strange belief that if we say please, thank you, excuse me, sir and a bunch of other niceties, the bad guy will not bother us. Most of the folks in the South use most of those polite words most of the time to those who are not attempting to harm our families and friends, and that includes those who speak with an accent. But we would be just a wee bit foolish to say any of those niceties to a person who is in the process of kicking our door down. We would be making a mad dash for our gun. I hope I have enlightened you just a little, Mr. Cooper."
QUIPS KEITH LEE of Inman: "OK, the inauguration of our new president is behind us, so let's give this guy a chance. Remember he inherited an awful mess from his predecessor, Barack Obama."
'IT WORKS': Folks, stop what you are doing and get the flu vaccine. That order comes from Pete Jolley of the Peach Valley community. "Some say it will make them sick, but they're nuts," he says. "Get the flu shot. It works. Ten bucks is better and cheaper than the hospital."
ODDS AND ENDS: Billie Bryant of Pacolet is asking for Stroller readers' help in coming up with the name of either the manager or owner of the former Palmetto Theater in Spartanburg in 1949. "A lot of 'Our Gang' movies were produced around that time, and my husband and my sister were in the one that was filmed here in 1949 and shown on the screen at that time," she recalls. If you have the answer, you can reach Mrs. Bryant at 474-2025.

Im traning for a marathon and Im wondering if it would be really bad to drink a red bull or 5 hour energy before or during a long run? Im currently drinking lots of water and usually use the gu. Any eveidence on why to or not to do this? Thanks.
I would say save the energy drinks for recovery. Most contain ingredients that increase heart rate (in addition to some other quirky side-effects that might interfer with your performance). As with most other things, you could experiment with them in training to monitor the influence, but basically some of the additives in energy drinks actually force your body to remove fluids, so not a good match with perspiration and increased activities.
Take a good look at the herbal stimulants and think about the combination with caffeine, amino acids and vitamin overloads. (Not a lot of research is available to suggest the overall impact, but enough information exists to suggest they could be dangerous with a LR.)
Wishing you all the best in your training.
5 Hour energy, but the decaf. Or you could just take a B-Complex pill. I would stay away from to much caffeine, as Jasko123 said, it dehydrates and increases heart rate, two very bad things for a long run! You'll know by the way your body feels, if your supplementing right. I would try a few different things out, till you find what's right for you.
P.L.U.R. and Happy Running
Cyborg Dream
I think I would want to investigate the effects of the "B-vitamins and amino acids" before using them. Also I think I would not use them during the run. The amount of caffeine in one (1) of the drinks is not enough to worry about (about the same as a cup of coffee). Studies have shown that a cup or two of coffee an hour or so before running is sometimes a performance enhancer.
I have a hydration belt which I wear on my long runs. I have 2 bottles of water and 2 of Gatorade, which seems to work well for me and keeps me hydrated. I think that staying hydrated should be your main concern.

U.S. Carriers Hold Positions on Apple's iPhone
While much pontificating has come in the last 24 hours over the slowing growth of Apple iPhone, the position of U.S. carriers selling the device remains the same.
More than two years after AT&T Inc. lost its exclusive grip on the iPhone in the U.S., the carrier is still holding on to the lead. AT&T's share of iPhone activations among the major carriers has held steady–in the 50% range–in recent quarters.
This comes even as Verizon Wireless has consistently increased its customer lead over AT&T, a gap that now exceeds 20 million contract customers. In the first quarter, AT&T activated about 4.8 million of the devices, compared with 4 million at Verizon in the same period.
The device is incredibly important to AT&T as it drives smartphone sales. The quarters that benefited from an iPhone launch are the only times that AT&T actually sells more smartphones than Verizon Wireless.
Something missing here? Sprint. The company talks about the importance of the device bringing fewer customer-service problems and keeping subscribers from cancelling service, but iPhone sales seriously lag those at AT&T and Verizon.
In each of the first three quarters of last year, Sprint's iPhone sales were 1.5 million. They jumped to 2.2 million for the iPhone 5 launch-heavy fourth quarter, before dropping back down to 1.5 million in the latest quarter. Meanwhile, the iPhone hasn't saved Sprint from losing contract customers — in the latest quarter, it lost 560,000 such customers. Part of the problem is that Sprint's LTE network significantly lags AT&T and Verizon.
For its size–about a third of Verizon's contract customers–Sprint is actually holding its own and reports 43% of its iPhones went to new customers. In the fourth quarter, AT&T reported that just 16% of its 8.6 million iPhone activations went to new customers.
Adding to the difficulty of sizing up the carriers' iPhone positions, AT&T reports iPhone activations and not sales. So if you give your old phone to your kid, you can buy a shiny new one…and that counts as two activations but only one sale. The company doesn't break out the actual sales, and the number of iPhones that have accumulated in its sales base over the years are likely padding the numbers somewhat.
The picture will soon get muddled further as No. 4 carrier T-Mobile recently began selling the iPhone for the first time.
Here's a look at iPhone activations at AT&T, Verizon and Sprint since the beginning of 2010:

A word of caution - there is no uninstaller for these packages. After installing, they made my scanner unrecognizable to ExactScan, and I had to manually delete the files before it would work again.
I just got an email from Mattias this morning with a link to the new updated Leopard version. I'll be downloading and trying it out later. Very happy about this.
This works wonderfully for me in Tiger on my 24" iMac. However, when I updated to Leopard it stopped working. I've tried to contact the author using the email on his webpage but had no reply as yet.
I can not run entirely Leopard untl this is fixed because of my A3 USB scanner I use for work. At the moment I'm switching between Tiger and Leopard and have pretty much stayed in Tiger recently.
Fingers crossed!
This thing can do network scanning. If you install Linux in a virtual machine in Windows and pass through the USB cable or just plain Linux , you can have remote scanning via your Mac laptop and not lug a scanner around.

Do What Works: Relationship Advice from an AcroYogi
In the practice of yoga, as in life, it's the moments when we work together that can inspire the most change in us as individuals. In this clip, Jenny Sauer-Klein, co-founder of AcroYoga, talks about the principle of doing what works. To deal with the inevitable challenges and miscommunications that happen when individuals become partners, we have to leave room for the unexpected. When we let go of assumptions and embrace the discovery of what works best between these two people at this moment, that's when we allow the relationship — and each other — to grow.

"works for goat scours"
This is a great product for goat scours caused by worms or cocci and sometimes toxic indigestion. I check for sounds that the stomach is ruminating and dose adult goats 3ml of scour halt along with a pro biotic every 12 hours. Then treat the cause of scours.
"baby goat scours"
I used to have zero survival from scours in baby goats until I found spectogard. I use doses about twice as large as recommended on the bottle because it is quickly passed out the gut and is not absorbed by the body to any extent. I separate the doses by about 36 hours. Usually two doses is enough. As soon as the diarhhea shows first signs of slowing down then stop the medicine. Loose-looking infrequent stool will continue somewhat for 3 more days because it takes a full 3 days for the lining of the gut to heal after all the bad bacteria have been killed off.
"Great for Scours"
I actually use this on my calves and it works great. I usually mix it with some Kao Pectin if I catch it early and they do really well. If it's a little worse case then I mix it with electrolyte and it works wonders. It's the best stuff out there.

David Irving, Holocaust Denial, and his Connections to Right Wing Extremists and Neo-National Socialism (Neo-Nazism) in Germany: Electronic Edition, by Hajo FunkeTable of Contents
|4.2 The Party of the Like... >
|4.4 Irving's conversion t... >>
4.1 German neo-National Socialists (neo-Nazis).
4.1.1. The third RWE wave that started in the second half of the 1980s and continued through the early 1990s, had fundamental repercussions on the development of RWE organizations and their organizational networks. The significant factors were:
- the co-operation between DVU and the more extreme NPD.
- the creation of a new party, the Republicans, a splinter group of the Bavarian CSU. Their leader Franz Schönhuber presenting it as a modernised version of RWE
- in the early 1990s a lurch in the NPD youth organization the JN, towards neo-Nazism. Günter Deckert, with whom Irving had many contacts in the 1990s, oversaw this process as leader of the NPD from 1991 to 1995.117
- the emergence of committed and militant neo-Nazis groups around Michael Kühnen, Christian Worch, and others, who succeeded in developing new organizations with roots in a violent neo-Nazi youth movement and linked to a prolonged spate of attacks on foreigners in eastern Germany that shocked Germany and the world.
4.1.2. In the following sections we will first deal with these movements and then, in a chronology of Irving's activities in Germany from 1989 to 1993, demonstrate Irving's close and enduring connection to these neo-Nazi groups. In the process it will be demonstrated that the rejuvenated international revisionist movement (following the Leuchter Report), of which Irving was a main pillar, and German RWE in general and the German neo-Nazi movement in particular, were firm and mutual allies.
4.1.3. One of the most influential and notorious neo-Nazi leaders was Michael Kühnen (and with him later Christian Worch, Ewald Althans, Arnulf Priem, and the Austrian Gottfried Küssel).
4.1.4. In 1977 Kühnen founded the National Socialists Action Front [Aktionsfront Nationale Sozialisten - ANS, later to become the ANS/NA, NA for National Activists] with amongst others, former NPD cadres. This overtly neo-Nazi group was banned in 1983. However a sizeable number of its activists moved into the neo-Nazi scene through the more traditional Free German Workers' Party [Freiheitliche Deutsche Arbeiter Partei - FAP].
4.1.5. The FAP had been founded by Martin Pape in 1979, who had started off as more of a national-conservative with neo-Nazi leanings. Pape was not strictly averse to 'infiltration' by the neo-Nazis around Michael Kühnen which swelled the FAP's membership figures to about 500 in the mid 1980s. They created a series of sub-organizations like 'Gaue' [the NS term for administrative geographical units during the Weimar Republic and in the Third Reich], as well as local community and county-based organizations. At the same time specific political splinter organizations were created like the German Women's Front [Deutsche Frauen Front - DFF], and the Preparation Committee for the Celebrations of Adolf Hitler's 100th Birthday [Komitee zur Vorbereitung der Feierlichkeiten zum 100. Geburstag Adolf Hitlers - KAH]. Kühnen's homosexuality sparked a bitter conflict amongst the 'comrades' within the FAP. The faction around the FAP leaders Friedhelm Busse and Jürgen Mosler distanced themselves from Kühnen and it was not until his death in 1991 that a reconciliation took place.
4.1.5. The FAP explicitly strived for a Germany along NS lines and towards recreating a Greater Germany within the Reich's 1939 boundaries (which would include Austria and Czechoslovakia). The party platform was extremely nationalist, racist, anti-Semitic, and embraced violence as an instrument to achieve their aims. The degree of racism and hatred directed at foreigners is illustrated by the following phrases that were used internally: 'We won't put up with the niggerization of Germany', 'The people's wrath is on the rise! Asylum seekers will be repeatedly set on fire. We as National Socialists are the only ones who foresee the civil and racial war.' 118
4.1.6. Even prior to reunification, the FAP had good connections with right-wing oriented skinheads and hooligans in the former GDR. One of these activists was Christian Wendt. FAP rallies often resulted in violent attacks against foreigners, as was the case in Rostock in August 1992. The party co-operated with the Danish National Socialist Movement [Dansk Nasjonal Sosjalitisk Bevaegelse - DNSB] that published propaganda leaflets against liberals and leftists calling for personal retaliation ('Einblick').119 In September 1993 the federal government announced that it would put in a request that the party be banned, which duly occurred in 1995.
117. Correspondence exists between Irving and Deckert from 1982 onwards. Deckert (then GfP) was Irving's corresponding partner in arranging meetings in 1982. See Irving to Günter Deckert, 22 September 1982; Günter Deckert to Irving, 2 October 1982; Günter Deckert to Irving, 10 October 1982.
118. Wagner, p. 69.
119. The DNSB in turn had good connections to the NSDAP/AO and the German Holocaust denier and former SS man Thies Christophersen. DNSB leader Rijs-Knudsen occassionally spoke at the meetings of Christophersen's paper Die Bauernschaft. Wagner, p. 226. For Irving's connections to Christophersen see below.

Challengers make it back on top in softball
Winning the Southern Cascade League title seemed like a pretty bold goal this spring considering the recent history of the Cascade Christian...
KLAMATH FALLS — Prospect became the first Mountain Valley League volleyball team to win a set off unbeaten Hosanna Christian, but it wasn't enough to stop the Lions from claiming the league championship with a 25-19, 21-25, 25-14, 26-24 victory Friday.
"This was a great match," said Prospect coach Shelli Lass. "It was really good volleyball."
Hosanna, which is 20-3 overall and 14-0 in league, goes into next week's district tournament as the top seed. Prospect is No. 2 with records of 16-4 and 12-2. The top three teams advance to state from district, which is next Saturday at Paisley.
For Prospect, Heather Lass registered nine kills, 29 assists and four blocks.
Halee Hedgpeth added six kills and Taylor Bernhardt five blocks.
Alee Pinkerton and Lass each served five aces.
GILCHRIST 3, BUTTE FALLS 1 — At Butte Falls, senior outside hitter Tamika Funk had a productive all-around match but Butte Falls finished the season on a losing note, 34-32, 25-20, 21-25, 25-18.
Funk led the Loggers (2-15, 1-13 MVL) with six kills, six digs and five aces. Senior setter Jolie Hobbs added eight assists, four digs, four kills and four aces, while junior outside Brandi O'Keefe pounded five kills to go with two digs and two aces.
ASHLAND TEAMS WIN — At Salem, Ashland's girls won two games and the Grizzly boys won one in the South Salem Tournament at the Kroc Center.
The Ashland girls defeated South Salem in overtime, 7-6, and Sprague, 10-7. The boys triumphed 13-1 over South Salem.
In girls, Sabrina Scoggins led Ashland past South Salem, scoring four goals, while Sadie Kasiah had two goals, three assists and six steals, Emma Frantz had a goal and goalie Kaya Boehm had four blocks.
Against Sprague, Scoggins again led the way with five goals while Elisabeth Tapport and Maddy Longshore also scored. Kasiah had three goals and three steals and Boehm made three blocks.
On the boys side, Nathan Markovich turned in four goals and Cole Harding had three goals for the Grizzlies. Jericho Walker-Roberts and Tristan Gavin each notched two goals and Miles Furuichi had five blocks and Ethan Croyle added three in goal.
Play continues today in the tournament.

Several people recently made the same ominous comment – "We are way overdue for another bad accident at the Highway 281 & Highway 50 intersection." Early this morning those words came true.
We might have labeled our "comment makers" psychics if we didn't know the history of this notorious Stafford County site. The lives lost and seriously changed at this intersection reads like a long graduation ceremony list.
Local residents have asked for improvements over the years. "How about making the intersection a "four-way stop?" "How about building an overpass?" "No" and "No" were the answers from the State Highway Department.
The reason given? "There's simply not enough traffic to warrant the cost of such change." But, that answer hasn't brought much solace to the victims and their families.
Finally, after years of horrific accidents a change was made. They put in an additional sign – a "peek-a-boo head" over a message telling you about the "two-way stop" ahead. Unfortunately, Peek-a-boo man hasn't been the answer.
So, what is the answer? Do we just wait for "more traffic" to justify changes? It seems ridiculous that we can invent things such as Google Glasses, yet we can't come up with a way to improve the safety at the intersection of two State Highways.
I will get the ball rolling with a question. "When was the last time we came up with a "new" highway sign?"
How about this? What if we come up with a "Stop or Else" stop sign? The sign would signify that the intersection is a "two-way stop" intersection.
A media campaign could be launched to educate the public. Hangover's Ken Jeong could perform a music video. He could jump out of a ditch in front of a car approaching a "two-way stop" intersection – dancing to a song called "Stop or Else" while holding the "new stop sign."
I plan on presenting this GREAT IDEA to our State Leaders. If they tell me "No"?
Then, I will simply ask for the alternative – An Overpass.

Halloween in Oz fundraiser features Oz characters, games, prizes
Published: Saturday, October 26, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 11:58 p.m.
Dorothy and her friends will follow the yellow brick road Sunday to the Moody Music Building for the fourth annual Halloween in Oz, hosted by the University of Alabama's Community Music School.
Halloween in Oz
What: Fundraiser presented by the University of Alabama's Community Music School to benefit its scholarship fund. There will be games and prizes, a costume parade, a chance to meet Oz characters, an inflatable slide and more.
When: 2-4 p.m. Sunday,
with costume parade starting at 3:30 p.m.
Where: Moody Music Building, 810 Second Ave., on the University of Alabama campus.
Admission: $5 per person with children 2 and younger admitted free.
More information: Call 205-348-6741 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
"It's a family-friendly, carnival-style event, so there are many activities that you'll be able to do," said Jane Weigel, director of the Community Music School. "We have flying monkey bowling, spider ring toss — events like that."
There will be prizes, from candy to other Halloween-themed foods to small toys, for each game.
Attendees will get the chance to meet the main characters from the "Wizard of Oz" movie by entering the Wicked Witch's Castle, visiting Good Witch Glinda's lollipop tree or going to see the Wizard. Weigel said that based on the age of the audience in the Witch's Castle, she'll be scary for the older children and friendlier for the younger children. Children will also be able to get their faces painted, play on an inflatable or play Halloween-themed games.
The fundraiser is a good way for people to learn about the Community Music School, Weigel said.
"We're always looking to make sure that our fundraisers bring awareness to our program," she said, "so we can look at this as way to bring new people to campus, show people the School of Music and all that we have to offer."
The Community Music School is a non-degree-granting program that serves students of all ages and abilities, according to its website.
"We're the outreach program for the School of Music. We provide music lessons and some ensembles such as the Youth Orchestra," Weigel said. "We sort of span the entire age bracket from infants in 'Kindermusik,' all the way through some retirees in the area who are in our adult strings classes."
She said the school's mission is to provide funding to help anyone with an interest in music who couldn't otherwise participate in enrichment classes or lessons. The Halloween in Oz fundraiser, along with other events during the year, help raise money for the Community Music School Scholarship Fund.
At Sunday's event, visitors will get to enjoy music from students and professors who are a part of the Community Music School. They will be playing the music for the cookie walk, which is their version of musical chairs.
Also, a former Community Music School student and current UA student in the School of Music will do a type of show-and-tell with the organ after the costume parade, which attendees are encouraged to dress up for.
Upon entry, everyone will have a chance to sign up for the door prizes as well as receive tickets to "spend" on games or activities.
The grand door prize will be four tickets to the School of Music's annual Hilaritas concert on Dec. 6.

Downtown was hopping as visitors came to the Par 3 Party at Augusta Common. (April 6, 2011 / WRDW-TV)
News 12 at 11 o'clock / Wednesday, April 6, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Wednesday at the Masters is known for the Par 3 contest, but the after party was Downtown at the Augusta Common.
The Par 3 Party put on by the Augusta Arts Council is just one of many ways locals are trying to get visitors to get a look at downtown.
When there's music, there's dancing, but at the Par 3 Party, there was shagging.
"I have a fake shag I kind of do," Brenda Durant, the coordinator of the event, said. "I'm from Camden, South Carolina. I have kind of a 1-2-3, look bored, kind of thing."
Therefore, we found out shagging isn't Durant's kind of thing, but she said putting on this party is.
"I mean the whole Downtown, Broad street, Reynolds street, museums and theater, we're the cultural carter here. You want people to see what a great downtown we have," Durant said.
Businesses want people to see it too, so they've brought in bands of their own and some have opened extra hours.
"It's not normal for us to be open on Wednesday, but because of the Master's effect," Casa Blanca Cafe employee, Steven Deitch said. "We have an opportunity to be open on a Wednesday night and be open to more business."
Some even have Master's menu's for the extra visitors.
"We've got so many up and coming new businesses so I think it's great that we have more traffic," Beamie's at the River's Tracy Williams said.
But some business owners say only in the past couple of years have they benefited from an extra push to get people downtown.
"I think it's long over due," Deitch said. "There's a lot of gems down here."
"We've always had a busier week obviously," Williams said. "But of course more so lately that we have the Augusta Common over here and all. It definitely brings more down."
In that case, keep on dancing.
"I love the Par 3 Party," Durant said. "It's just a beautiful night under the stars."
They barely pre-sold 50 tickets in the party's first year and this year, they pre-sold more than 300 tickets, which is much better than last year. They hope that means they'll make it even bigger next year.

An Ammon neighborhood is on edge Thursday night, after a recent rash of break-ins.
The Bonneville County Sheriff's Office said it knows who it is thanks to a surveillance camera that caught the crook breaking into a garage through a "doggie door."
It's a break in you have to see to believe.
Folks in the Ammon neighborhood at Jason and Adam Street said the dog-door break-in was just one of more than a half dozen.
For the Manwaring family, there's no one way to use a security system.
"If somebody broke in, we'd get it, but we also watch our kids play from inside the house," said mom Kaylin Manwaring.
Manwaring never thought her security system would pay off like it did this week.
When she got inside her car -- parked in the family garage on Tuesday morning -- she could tell something was wrong.
"We could tell somebody had been in there," said Manwaring. "He had ransacked our cars."
Manwaring checked the security camera feed her husband had installed.
"We got (the burglar) on camera," she said.
The family's quiet, empty backyard, was recorded in the wee hours of Tuesday morning by that night-vision security cam.
She and her husband watched the tape for hours, when all of a sudden, a figure appears out of nowhere and begins to case the house. A young male with shaggy hair peers into the home's back windows with a flashlight.
"Instantly makes you mad he'd have the guts to do that," said Manwaring.
Slowly, cautiously, the kid crawls into her garage through the family's "doggie door".
"I watched him climb through, and then walk right out," she said.
Police said the boy is a 17-year-old Idaho Falls runaway.
After seeing this tape, Bonneville Sheriff Sgt. Jeff Edwards said his office has requested a warrant for the juvenile's arrest on a felony burglary charge.
"We'll have him caught here shortly," said Edwards.
Edwards said the doggie door burglary wasn't an isolated incident.
There was a report of a vehicle burglary in the apartments nearby.
Chelsie Hansen said her car was one of several in her apartment complex broken into over the weekend.
"My CDs were gone, all my CDs," said Hansen.
Hansen said several women in her complex -- just a few blocks from the Manwaring home -- had their cars ransacked.
"My neighbor's car, her wallet was gone," said Hansen. "Receipts were everywhere. We're all single moms, and he just keeps hitting us."
But thanks to the Manwaring's and their camera, he won't be for much longer.
The Manwaring's have boarded up their doggie door.
Because the suspect is a juvenile, the sheriff's office isn't releasing his name.
If you know the whereabouts of the 17-year-old doggie door burglar pictured, please call the police at (208) 529-1200.

For Jobs, one of the fundamental principles for maximising the user experience was maintaining Apple products as closed systems. Apple products are designed as an integrated system such that only hardware and software developed or approved by Apple will work with them, thus ensuring that all elements will work well together. This is in sharp contrast to the PC world, in which computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system can accept peripheral equipment and run software programs from thousands of suppliers. The open system environment of the PC world gives the customer far more choices than Apple's closed system, but is more likely to lead to problems, such as system crashes and the inability to print documents because of compatibility problems between the various pieces of hardware and software. The open environment has also led to the commoditisation of the products themselves, driving down prices and making the PC world marginally profitable at best.
Applying Apple concepts to contract service providersThe closed-system idea struck a chord because of its potential relevance to the integrated service model taking hold in the contract services industry. Both large and small bio/pharmaceutical companies are embracing the idea of buying services as a bundle rather than on an individual basis; for example, having the same contractor develop and manufacture early clinical supplies of the drug substance and drug product. For small bio/pharmaceutical companies, the bundled model offers the opportunity to get their development candidates to the proof-of-concept decision point much faster while overcoming their deficiencies in project management and development expertise. For large bio/pharmaceutical companies, buying a package of services promises to reduce the costs of identifying, qualifying and managing a network of service providers by reducing the total number of providers in the network.
This trend from the "open system" world where bio/pharmaceutical companies themselves had to work out scheduling and compatibility issues among service providers to the "closed system" of integrated service providers (ISPs) can be transformational for drug development and for the service providers themselves. For the ISP model to really work, service providers must take ownership of the entire customer experience. So, executives of CROs and CMOs offering a one-stop-model must dedicate themselves to answering three key questions:
Precisely defining a superior customer experience will probably require some market research, and the answer will differ across customer types and service offerings. We can be pretty sure, however, that it will centre around value, price, meeting deadlines, communication and technical expertise. Once these have been defined, successful companies will develop metrics to measure them and manage to those metrics.

Monday July 30, 2012
Willison, SC--When Dwayne Garrick took over as coach of Williston Elko, the Blue Devils were a struggling program. In his tenure as the man in charge, the Blue Devils are now a legit state title contender, every year.
It helps they've had the running backs like Dexter Staley and Kendric Salley. The latest on the list is sophomore Jarius Jenkins. Only a sophomore, Jenkins proved his worth a season ago on a team that only had a couple of seniors. Not a lot of flash and dash with the devils who will line up and just try to run through, around and over you.
"We got a couple of kids that can run kind of a wildcat package for us too. " said coach Dwayne Garrick "We'll incorperate that. We'll be in some one back but we're going to get in the wish bone and we're going to run the football. That's our game, that's our forte, that's kind of what we feel best at right now personnel wise"
Williston also has the winning tradition on thier sideline. These kids know all about it and want to be part of it. The seniors now went to a state title game as a 9th grader. They realize it's not easy getting to the ulitimate game but do realize what it takes.
"It's hard to live up to. You know, going to three Upper State championships, winning a championship, we want to win us a championship. We try to come out here and play as hard as we can to win that for Williston again." said Dalton Mundy
"I can't really explain it, I'm just going to go hard. I'm just going to go hard for the 9th graders and the 10th graders and explain to them how this really feels." added Jahmaya Jankins
A year ago, the Blue Devils started the year 0 and 2 before getting it rolling. Don't expect an early season let down this time around as they want to get back to colubia and the state title game.

I hit the treadmill at the Y this morning for 3.35 miles. Started slow and progressively increased my speed to a fairly hard effort, then progressively dropped back down. I have a feelingn I'll be usingn the TM a lot as all this ice is making me nervous - if I could run in daylight I wouldn't care, but weekdays I have to be out the door by 5:30 at the latest and dark + icy sidewalks are not my favorite combination.
Huge Scout fundraiser tomorrow - I should already be in bed as I have to be out the door by 5:15 a.m. - so no run tomorrow.
As for migrating, whither thou goest . . . I have an account on DailyMile already if we end up there. Keep me posted - I need my teammates to keep me going.
happy running all.
Ran 4 miles Thursday, 29:17, and did the 20-minute hill workout Friday, plus a 1.3 mile run after to make 3 miles total. Also did the core workouts each day before running.
It's warmer today than the past three days, but it's supposed to be windy. I have all my gear packed for the 5k this morning. My nephew backed out, but I may go alone anyway, if the wind doesn't get much worse.
Debm... Good news for you from the hematologist. My bloodwork last week showed low iron again - slight anemia. I went to the hemat last year and he wanted me to come back again, but he said he couldn't figure out why my numbers were where they were. My reticulocytes (sp?) weren't normal. I told him I felt great and didn't have any symptoms he asked about. I told him if he didn't have any ideas, I wouldn't be back. I stopped taking iron pills last summer. So now my PCP says start back up on the iron and we'll see next year at my physical. The worst thing about it all for me is I can't donate blood. I've done that since high school. I got rejected a few times for low iron, so I think I've had this issue for years. We'll see after next year's tests.
Mkay.... I'll be 57 next month.
NHLA.... Three sunsets in one run is pretty cool. I'll be happy when I see sunsets later in the day.
Az2Mn.... 9 miles in the snow in cold temps??? Are you sure you're a grandmother?
JeffCT.... Get those 3 miles in. And go for the chili when possible.
jmsab23- perilous to advise on line, but the thing that comes to mind first with your iron issues is gluten sensitive enteropathy, or gluten sensitivity. It can reduce iron absorption (as can other things). Just a thought.
Debm- I agree about the ice! I'm trying to embrace the TM, managed 5 miles this morning, longest on TM to date. Easier on weekend when time isn't so much a factor. Unless you have a scout fundraiser to get to!! Good luck.
Run strong and safe friends.

Blackjack 5k. 22min 10 sec 4th place overall. The course was a mess. It flooded then 1000 runners, bikes, and dogs ran thru then it froze solid. I just could not run any faster without busting it. 1st card 4, second 8, third king = busted. Nice turnout considering how cold it was.
jimsab get a new doctor.
deb how are you listed on DM? I'm jimmie t.
After a couple weeks of vacation, sloth and a cold, I'm back to running. I spent Chrsitmas vacation at my Brother's place in suburban Houston. I got in two early morning fartleks at a local elelmentary school track.
Then I got home to Chicago, and wham-nailed with a cold.
I'm over that now, so I started slow. Yesterday was a lunchtime run on the dreadmill..er I mean treadmil.

New Year's Day got in 6 miles plus an hour of yoga. Not so good since then with only 4.5 miles on the 'mill while in Austin, then an hour lifting this morning.
A neighbor stopped by today and asked if I wanted to go for a run...so we are heading out tomorrow at 11 AM. Know he is faster than me so maybe this can help break me out of the funk I have been in.
Been reading all your posts but tough to respond while I was out of town. Great off season work by everyone. NHLA, good race today!
Have you all decided where to take this thread? I am happy to move as long as we can keep the group together.
Keep up the great work, and be fearless!
I missed a few days, and had 2 pages to read!
Welcome to timeasterday, and to picasoflake! Just jump on in here, we don't stand on formalities!
I took a couple of rest days in a row, as I just started a new job. It's a conditional offer, so I'm still a bit nervous...Should have approval from the company President early next week. I'm working with his son who is a runner, so that helps! I did an easy 3 Friday morning, cold. I wore too many layers and was drenched by the end.
Today was the Colorado Masters Running Association Lake Arbor 5K. I ran this as a tune up to the Quicker Quaker next week, but I may be tuned a bit sharp...22:19, a PR by over 2-1/2 minutes!
One runner collapsed at about the 1/3 mile point. CPR was started immediately and 911 called. I ran past him (on a double loop course) and nearly quit running, but (1) there was nothing I could do; (2) with privacy laws there was nothing I could even find out; and (3) with all the stuff I've been through lately I'm just numb. The best thing I could do was to pray, and I do a lot of that while running. Still, I feel guilty about feeling good about my PR. When is it all going to just stop?
Run Free!
jmsab - I can't remember all the different tests, but tests I had! We ruled out celiac disease, and no blood in GI tract (fortunately in a non-invasive manner) and a few others as causes for anemia. My levels are still low,but I'm out of the official anemia diagnosis. I've known for a while I can't even try to donate blood - they won't take me. Good luck!
NHLA - Hi jimmie t. - nice pic! Love having a face to go with the posts I'm Deborah M. but I just signed up the beginning of the year to check it out and have only posted once or twice so far. Congrats on the race today - despite the course coonditions - tough luck on the cards.
Dan - nice 5 on the TM - I'm lucky to get up to 4 miles but I'll keep working at it. Tomorrow - assuming I can get out of bed - will be an outdoor run in the daylight before church.
degregorious - glad you're feeling better
Linus - it's hard to be motivated right now - is it winter in general or the darkness or what? Regardless hope the funk doesn't last.
OldCoyote - don't feel guilty. First, if there was nothing you could do, you're better off out of the way,second prayer is always helpful, and third what better way to honor a fallen runner than by completing your run - while praying. I hope he is on the road to recovery and will include him in my prayers too.
Another successful day in Scouting. I left my house at 5:15 am, ran the kitchen to feed the volunteers all day, and sat down on my sofa, in my jammies, at 5:15 p.m. It feels good to sit.
Well, I ran outdoors in the cold, although it would have been fairly comfortable if not for the wind. It was 34, but wind chill of about 18 at the start of the 5k (actually 3.3 miles, they said). Not a lot of runners - about 65 or so - but it was their first year and kind of rushed to put the race on. Melody -- it was in Westbrook. I was well layered, and wore winter gloves due to the wind cutting through my running gloves while warming up. Finished very warm, and overall 3rd male, 23:48.
To all treadmill runners: If your TM workouts seem boring, mix it up. Repeats are a great way to do that. Especially your half-mile repeats. A mile warmup, then three or four 800s with a 400 jog between, and maybe a couple 200s after, then a 1/2 mile cooldown, and you'll be surprised how many miles you tally and how fast the time went by. Or check Active.com treadmill tips - there are plenty of them.
NHLA..... Your card game luck sounds like mine. Nice race, though, especially with the surface conditions.
DebM.....A Scout is...Trustworthy, loyal, helpful.
Coyote.... Your concerns and prayers were enough in this instance. And a great big congrats on your PR smash!!!
Linus.... No offense, but I couldn't do Yoga for an hour -- to me THAT's boring. If I got on the floor to completely relax, that's what I'd soon be doing -- sleeping. But that's just me. Good 6-miles, though.
Degregorious... Nice to get over colds. And to celebrate with a 12-miler.............priceless.
jmsab: grats on the great race! 3rd male is a place I will never be unless there are 4 or fewer runners! Know what you mean about yoga, and actually thought that until I tried it. 60 minutes goes by incredibly fast and it is a much harder workout than it sounds. I was sore for most of the week from the two I did last weekend, and I regularly lift, stretch and do core work. A good yoga class can be very intense and rewarding.
debm: thanks for the words of encouragement. Think you're right about winter, plus work sucks right now, etc. Good news is oldest daughter graduated college three weeks ago and starts her first full time job in 8 short days. I love her dearly but will be glad to see her go! Great work with the Scouts!
coyote: AWESOME time, and grats on the blowout PR! A good start to the New Year. Good news on the job...hope it works out. Will be there next week for the QQ...not sure if I will run or just cheer you on. Talk later this week about meeting before the race either way.
degregorious: nice work on the 12 miles! Can't wait to get back there where 12 miles is a regular run myself.
az: congrats on the being a grand parent! Hope mom and baby are doing great!
melodylea: I shiver every time I read one of your posts! Way to go on pushing through the elements!
tim: welcome to this great group! Looks like you are pretty fast for a new runner...keep it up!
francessmom: met a guy at the gym today here in CO with a North Penn shirt on so yacked it up about Philly. He is a real runner though and much younger than me but was good to talk about the old stomping grounds!
mkayc: glad you are feeling better. Too bad about our Bengals, or should I call them our Bungles? Maybe next year? Looks like Reds traded up and finally have a lead off hitter so lots to look forward to in a couple months.
jeffct: Nice skeleton outfit! You going to do the plunge, or not?
NHLA: I am happy to get one sunset per day, and we have some gorgeous ones here in CO. But three in one day, that is special!
justrundan: ncie job on the NY 8k! Brrrrr!
oshcat: looks like you layered up nicely! Nice job on the color race, and thanks for the tips for future.
snerb: good to hear from you and glad your winter regimen is working out. Best of luck this year!
Run free and strong, friends!
And go Notre Dame!
Hey All- Got my 3 miles in. Barely. 3.8 miles with 9:40/mi. Having trouble getting back into the swing. In Dec, I only ran 4 times total distance 41 miles. In Jan, so far Ive run 3 times, total dist. 13 miles. I think I'll look into those TM tips jmsab mentioned. Ive been watching STAR WARS on VHS in the basement, I can probably come up with a better motivator. I am glad I am on the TM, time is so short right now. Wouldnt have had enough time to run today. Supposed to do some man-lifting of wife's friend who's moving. Id like to get a run in to get out of these 3 mile runs. Debm I agree, I am afraid of getting hurt, and it gets dark so early. I am starting to feel some different soreness, lower back, so Im kinda glad to be doing the TM, maybe using some different muscles.
jmsab - I also will give my advice with caution. I agree that changing up your diet may have benefits. My son is on Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free. We went this route AFTER the tests showed he didnt have any sensitivity / allergy. Each diet has improved his health greatly. In his case, Milk-Free showed benefits by end of the week. Gluten-Free was a more gradual improvement noticed at about 3 weeks. I also agree with you on "I wont be back". There is a balance between chasing down every "borderline" bad result and ignoring health problems. Big indicator is that you FEEL good.

Hello running buddies! Hope your 2013 is off to a fabulous start. I've been having a hard time breathing while running outside this week. The temps have been cold and my asthma has been really bad. I know several people who've come down with respiratory infections and I don't feel like I have one, but I did make an appt to see my ENT next week. Hoping he can help because I want to run comfortably. I also ordered one of the neck gators as I'm thinking the cold air going into my lungs might be causing the discomfort. Outside of my crappy, asthmatic lungs , the rest of my body feels great. I ran a free half marathon this morning called the Red Nose Half in Columbus, GA. I've lived in GA for over a decade and had never visited this city, about 2 hours south of Atlanta. The organization of this free race was superb and the route, mostly on paved trails along the Chattahoochee River, was beautiful! I wish I'd run with my camera. I took this run easy mostly because I didn't want to go into an asthma attack but also because there was no medal or t-shirt, so why kill myself? lol. Treated it as a long run, but still took my time, especially in the beginning when I ran almost an 11:00/mile. I ended up finishing at 2:07. I really don't get how that is possible because I felt like I was running slowly. I'll take it though. Felt good to get in my first double digit run since Thanksgiving.
Looks like I'll get a free race entry into the Hot Chocolate 15k next weekend and the following weekend is the Bermuda Challenge--3 races in 3 days = 4 medals! I'm super Geeked about that. I'm also considering signing up for the Mercedes Benz Half in Feb and the Snickers Marathon in March. I saw the medal for the Mercedes Half and think I've been hypnotized by the bling. Haha. It's so pretty!
Congrats to all of you on your runs/races. I need to get back on here more often so I can read the deets. Have an awesome weekend, my friends. Happy Running!

2015 Highlights:
Oh yea, one of my running buddies made me a medal-hanging rack for Christmas. It is quite possibly the most thoughtful gift I've ever received. My phone sucks and takes crappy pics, but the inscription reads: I run in the paths of your commands for you have set my heart free. Psalm 119:32. I cried as soon as I unwrapped it. It's hanging right outside of my bedroom so I smile at it daily. Can't wait to get more medals on it. :-)
2015 Highlights:
Good and Happy New year to all:
I have done several runs recently: Fairfax 4 miler on New years Eve -- 49:34. of greater note I passed my son not once, not twice, but three times during the race (he was running/pacing a friend and being a good sport) on one section of the race (just past the h2O stop) as I passed him for the last time he asked "why are you running so fast?" gravity was my answer ( it was steep down hill section). He and his friend proceeded to pass me few meters later and finished a mere 3 min ahead of me. He was surprised as I actually ran several sections vice my normal walk.
Today I did 6km in 46 Min. once again the biggest accomplishment was running an actual mile (jogging really) then alternating walk 500 m / Jog 500 m. this is of note as these are the first times i have tried to extend running at all since April 2012. I am almost ready to declare knee healed and work on extending running to include a full 5K running in the next few months. after the 6 Km run, wife and I walked 3.4km for grand total today of 9.4Km!
weather has been fine - highs in the 40's lows in the upper 20's I so much like running in the cool weather compared to the summer heat.
races in 2013 - Always trying to keep moving
31 Dec 2012: Fairfax 4 miler: 49:34

wired from yesterday and up too late last night = slow getting out the door this morning. Excited to run outside in the daylight, though. There was a fresh dusting of snow this morning which was beautiful until I realized that dusting was covering up the ice leftover from last week's snow storm. After a little slipping and sliding I moved to the street which went quite well. In spots where the road was narrow, or I was approaching a blind corner, I moved to the sidewalk and walked to keep me out of harm's way. I did walk quite a bit more walking than I wanted. I saw nice long stretch of clear sidewalk along a particularly narrow section of road, all I had to do was navigate over some ice and snow to get to it. Hahaha - I walked slowly over some new snow, hit an icy patch and down on my butt I went. It was no worse than landing on your bum while ice skating - probably more embarrassing than anything. Fortunately, I spent the entire holiday (i.e. eating) season adding more padding to my gluteus maximus, so it was a nice soft landing. I laughed, got up, and continued on my way. Despite the slowness of the "run" it was nice to be outside. Then I stopped at the bakery near my house and got a babka for coffee hour after church. <sigh> back to the TM for the weekdays in the dark.

There are four more days left to show that special one how much you care about them.
Fabiano's Homemade Candies and Jon Anthony Florist in Lansing are just a couple of businesses gearing up for Valentine's Day. Fabiano's says the store does about 25 percent of its retail during the week leading up to Valentine's Day.
Jon Anthony Florist is not raising prices like it usually does during this week. The store manger says the economy has led them to keep prices at $60 for a dozen and $30 for a half dozen.
The flower shop will sell more than 5,000 roses this week and Fabiano's says it will sell close to 7,000 pounds of chocolates.

Mai-Thu Perret: An Ideal for Living
December 18, 2010 through March 13, 2011
Contemporary Swiss artist Mai-Thu Perret's multidisciplinary practice fuses feminist politics with classic modernist abstraction and utopian dreams. Her installations synthesize a range of media and genres--including literature, design, craft, and performance—-conjuring an imaginary alternate history of twentieth-century art, design, and social activism. Much of Perret's work over the past decade has stemmed from "The Crystal Frontier", the fictional archive of a female utopian commune called New Ponderosa. From paintings and sculptures to ceramics and textiles or film, Perret's works infuse the formal vocabulary of modernism with a distinctly handmade aesthetic. Perret's exhibition at UMMA will present an episodic overview of her work from the past decade and will include numerous works never before exhibited in North America.
This exhibition is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Health System, Office of the Provost, CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund, and Institute for Research on Women and Gender, as well as the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia, Macy's, and the Consulate General of Switzerland in Chicago, and the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund.

Louisiana police arrested Jeffery Larcade on Friday for "video voyeurism" after one of his coworkers discovered his hidden camera duct taped to a urinal in the office. Is there no sacred space left in America?
What Larcade did was even worse than the traffic lawyer who barged in and snapped some pictures in the courthouse bathroom. That was a one-time intrusion whereas this was systematic and planned out. He's been filming at the urinal for quite a bit of time while working at the Department of Planning, Zoning and Codes in Lafayette, Louisiana, and the memory card on the camera revealed footage of several coworkers' main veins that were filmed while being drained. That is just, er, ballsy.
As shockwaves were felt in the urinal cam community, Larade was released on $10,000 bond and will stand trail in the near future. Meanwhile the war against the American male's privacy and dominance continues, one barged-in bathroom stall at a time.

CHICAGO -- Nate Schierholtz had a bit of a bumpy exit in the middle of his sixth season in San Francisco, but the Chicago Cubs right fielder was all smiles when he met with Giants manager Bruce Bochy on Saturday. Bochy presented Schierholtz with his championship ring before the third game of this weekend's series, making him the rarest of Cubs, one with a ring in his locker.
"They definitely got it right," Schierholtz said as he looked down at the ring.
Departed players often get their rings when they return to the championship city, but Schierholtz had no problem with the fact that the Giants brought the ring to Chicago.
"It's appropriate," he said. "It's a little bit different because I didn't finish the year with the team."
Schierholtz was traded at the deadline last year in a deal that brought Hunter Pence to San Francisco. Weeks before the deal, Schierholtz had publicly complained about his role and mused that he might be better off somewhere else. Schierholtz had plenty of hot stretches in San Francisco but never developed into the everyday right-fielder the Giants had hoped he would be.
Still, there were no hard feelings on Saturday. Schierholtz, who is hitting .355 thus far with the Cubs, even joked about the fact that Tiffany & Co. managed to fit his entire last name on the side of the ring.
"All in diamonds," he said.

Regarding the Hobby Lobby case currently pending in the U.S. Supreme Court, there's an overriding catch:
Religious freedom gives you the right to believe any sort of unscientific nonsense you want.
In this case, the nonsense takes the form of false claims that certain contraceptives are abortifacients, even though the medical establishment says that's not true.
As Pete Williams of NBC News put it the other day: "The government has to take Hobby Lobby's religious views as they come. �So off the table is any question about the accuracy of how Hobby Lobby and another company, Conestoga, would view these ...

They may have him ranked higher than Lacy on their board.
Of interest.....
A number of teams tell Draftinsider.net's Tony Pauline that UCLA's Johnathan Franklin ranks higher than Lacy on their boards. The New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers are among the teams "looking hard" at Franklin, according Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com.
Franklin is drawing comparisons to Frank Gore and Doug Martin as a three-down back with NFL-ready pass-protection skills and the physicality to succeed between the tackles at the NFL level.
Highly productive last season at UCLA, Franklin piled up 1,734 rushing yards and 15 total touchdowns while adding 33 catches for 323 yards. He's a more complete back than Lacy.
