Modeling Magnetostriction Using COMSOL
Supratik Datta | August 26, 2013
If you have ever stood next to a transformer, you have probably heard a humming sound coming from it and wondered if there were bees close by. When you hear that sound the next time, you can rest assured that it's not bees but the magnetostriction of the transformer core that is making that humming sound.Read More

Solar photovoltaic (PV) cells are semiconductor devices that directly convert solar energy into electricity or voltage using the photovoltaic effect. These PV cells are more commonly known as solar cells, or solar panels, and in 2012 they produced roughly 93 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity — enough energy to power over 20 million homes. Because the cells must be directly exposed to the sun's rays, they are housed outdoors where the panels are affected by the elements. Therefore, the cells must […]Read More

Structural corrosion modeling has long been considered a tough problem to solve. The combination of coupled physics effects and metal shape change pose quite a computational challenge. Fortunately, engineers have found that multiphysics software brings a solution. A great example of this is coming up at the COMSOL Conference 2013 Boston this fall, when Dr. Siddiq Qidwai from the Naval Research Laboratory will take the stage and let us in on how to properly model structural corrosion.Read More

There are many different routes through which drugs and other medications can be delivered into a patient's body during treatment. These include topographical ointments, pills, vaporizers, and injection systems, among others. Many of these drug delivery systems require an enormous amount of precision when it comes to the location, timing, concentration, and amount of the drug to be administered. This is where simulation can be a big help, as it can allow for the modeling of each of these aspects […]Read More

The same window that allows natural light into your home also brings about an increase in your air-conditioning bill. While certain measures have been taken to improve the energy efficiency of windows, they still account for a large portion of buildings' energy costs. As unfavorable as that is, we ultimately want our buildings to have windows, and tend to accept the sunlight in/energy bill up trade-off. However, advancements are currently underway to improve this trade-off by lessening the energy charges […]Read More

You may be familiar with the humming start of the mechanical fan that turns on when booting up your laptop computer. Such a fan is necessary to prevent electronic devices from overheating, and the accompanying whirring sound of the cooling system is an unavoidable side effect. As electronic devices become smaller, this mechanical fan must decrease in size as well, and therefore spin faster and faster in order to deliver the same amount of heat dissipation as a larger fan. […]Read More

Multiphysics applications are all around us. Consider, for example, a setting where science may be the last thing on our minds: a music concert. You might be enjoying the slight sinusoidal variations in atmospheric pressure we call sound waves, or music, but those pressure variations must come from somewhere. In fact, they are due to a multiphysics effect where sinusoidal structural vibrations in an object disturb the surrounding air, causing pressure variations in the air that then propagate outward and […]Read More

It seems everyone and their kid brother has a cell phone these days — and we are constantly using them. We don't just rely on them to make calls anymore, either; they serve as our maps, calendars, to-do lists, channel for social interaction, and so forth. This continuous use begs the question: "What about the radiation our phones emit, and how much of it is absorbed by our brains?" When considering this, scientists use the specific absorption rate (SAR) to […]Read More

Experiencing "Yoga Block"? How to Get Out of That Pose Rut
Is your yoga practice getting a little stale? Maybe you've been going to the same class at the same time each week for the past year. Or perhaps you use a video — the same video — every day. If you're finding yourself a tad uninspired to get on your mat, you might be suffering from yoga block. And I don't mean a yoga block "prop," although if you're really in a rut then your practice may need a little propping up!

Customer Reviews for Addi® Swing Crochet Hooks
|« Go Back
1 - 3 of 3 reviews
August 2, 2014
Peggy R
I have been knitting for over 70 years, but each time I tried to crochet I gave up because I could not get a decent tension and all my work looked terrible. The first time I tried an Addi Swing Crochet Hook, I knew this was going to be different; I'm now learning to crochet and my stitches look like they the ones the instructor is making. I have small hands, but a skinny hook always felt like it was not large enough for me to get a firm hold on it. The ergonomic handle of the Addi removes this problem, and I'm progressing with my lessons and extremely satisfied with them. I've already purchased several sizes and will probably fill out a complete set before I'm through.

These hooks are made for people with large hands. They look like they would be very comfortable, however the part that looks like it's supposed to hit the palm of your hand hits the outside of mine.

I have to highly recommend these hooks, I suffer with Fibromyalgia & suffer with alot of pain in my fingers, but I found these hooks great to work with & there is no pressure on your fingers from the hook. Very pleased :)

N is for Naysayers

My biggest naysayer is myself. I fight me every day lol!

Naysayers are everywhere. On the bright side, there are also positive and supportive individuals out there too, and those are the people I try to gravitate towards.

A perfect "N" word, and a great quote by Wilder...and I need to read this everyday.

I'm like Kyra. The biggest naysayer in my life is me. I'm not a naysayer to others though.

I have and I loved this post! Sometimes I think I fall into the group of them if I'm not careful. I've promised myself I'd write at least a hundred words a day to prove to myself I still have it.
The feeling of defeat can be a rough one. I'll never give it up though. The minute I write each word I feel the life coming back to me!
With love - Jen from Unedited

I think at times in the past my biggest naysayers was myself! And I bet that's true for a lot of writers. But not so much anymore.

Like others, I'm the biggest naysayer in my life. (The only one, really. I'm surrounded by really supportive people, but for some reason I can't help but put myself down.) Nice positive post! :)
- April 16, 2012 at 8:35 AM
- Clarissa Draper said...
That's why I love the writing community, they are such a support. I don't get that support from my family. They view it as a hobby and when that HOBBY gets in the way of their life, it's then a nuisance. So, thank you, fellow writers, for your support.
- April 16, 2012 at 8:43 AM

I've been pretty lucky that I;ve had some great support in my family, friends, and other writers. But sometimes, I doubt myself. :)

I guess I've been pretty lucky, or blessed. I don't recall anyone being a naysayer when it comes to my writing.

Hi Laura! Wonderful post. All very good quotes.
My husband and son are very supportive of my writing. I'm my own naysayer, because I doubt myself and my writing.
Have an awesome day!

Critics who say something can't be done are always silenced by someone doing it.
- April 16, 2012 at 9:40 AM
- Bluestocking said...
Unfortunately yes, but the biggest source of drama is from those non-writers who say they're supportive but just.don't.get.it and say ridiculous things out of ignorance. The bottom line is that writing successes don't translate well to non-writers. Finally cracked a problem scene means nothing to a non-writer unless its in a book on the NY bestsellers list. But I like your idea of being cautious who you share your dreams with.

I am my biggest naysayer, definitely. That's where having supportive people who's talents you admire is HUGE.

I am my own worst enemy when it comes right down to it. I have always battled with this.
As I grow I have learned to push down my internal naysayer. I think it's finally working.

I dealt with a bunch of naysayers in my own critique group. So I had to kick them to the curb. Nothing constructive there, just a bunch of jealousy.

No, everybody seems to have more faith in me than I do. I guess that would make me the naysayer, sometimes. Not good.

Once we internalize the NO that is given to us, no one else can say yes until we do.
It's very easy to be a psychic. Simply dismiss everything. You'll be right most of the time.
But you won't be happy. Only say no to what you don't want. And Happy A to Z Challenge. Thanks for visiting http://beyourownfairygodmother.com

What an inspiring post! So true. We need to weed out the naysayers in our lives... I mean, most of us have enough trouble believing in ourselves and our own writing without some Debbie Downers on the side. I've had to end a toxic friendship in the past because of all the negativity. We don't need stuff like that in our lives!! Have a great week, Laura!

Hello, everyone!! Welcome to Wavy Lines to the new Zigzaggers!!! *waves happily* I'm so glad that the majority of you have supportive friends and family. The biggest naysayer in my life is MYSELF!

Longboat resort working to lure meetings business
Published: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 9:20 p.m.
LONGBOAT KEY - Amid years of recession-inspired corporate travel cutbacks, the Longboat Key Club is offering new incentives and packages to attract business and group travel to the famed resort.
For the first time in the 440-acre resort's decades-long history, the club is offering a $500 airfare credit from either Sarasota-Bradenton International or Tampa International airports to garner group business.
Additionally, the club is dangling a 5 percent rebate off room costs and free Wi-Fi in all guest rooms and meeting spaces to attract group business. The package is tailored toward groups spending at least $20,000.
The deal expires Feb. 28. New resort owner Ocean Properties Ltd., which also owns the Lido Beach Resort and other area lodging properties, hopes groups will plan summer and fall events earlier in the year.
Sandra Rios, a Longboat Key Club spokeswoman, said the incentive is similar to those Delray Beach-based Ocean Properties has done in other properties in its portfolio.
"It's a great way to build on a relationship with the many meeting planners our sales team works with on a monthly and yearly basis," Rios said.
Group and meeting business is critical to resorts such as the Longboat Key Club because corporate business tends to be loyal, and spend more money, on average, than transient guests.
Corporate bookings are important, too, because group members often will extend stays for personal vacations or return to the venue later.
With around 12,000-square-feet of meeting space at the resort, it only makes sense to start growing that side of the business, said Jeff Mayers, general manager of the Longboat Key Club.
"Meeting groups is a renewing avenue. Groups who come here will want to come again," Mayers said.
Ocean Properties purchased the beachfront resort, which contains 218 rental rooms and suites, six restaurants, 45 holes of golf, tennis courts, an upscale spa and a 291-slip marina, for an undisclosed sum in October.
In all, Ocean Properties owns and operates more than 100 other properties across North America.
For Longboat Key Club, the promotion could also be a way to spur group travel and attract interest in an expanded resort in the future.
The club for the past four years has been working on a $400 million expansion plan that would add, among other elements, a 17,000-square-foot conference space that would be among the largest in Southwest Florida.
That space, which could hold up to 730, and other expanded components have met with considerable opposition, however, from nearby residents, who have complained that a larger resort would generate excess traffic and violate zoning rules.
By comparison, the Hyatt Regency in downtown Sarasota is the hotel with the largest meeting space in the area, at more than 20,000 square feet, and the 266-room Ritz-Carlton Sarasota's meeting space exceeds 15,000 square feet.

pain behind knee - how to get rid of it?
thanks for reading my post!
start of the issue: I started running last september (2009) and I got this in october even though I wasn't doing much running yet back then. I have looked up many knee problems online and this problem fits the description of none of them! I hope someone can give advice, nobody so far has been able to.
main symptom: pain behind either knee (where it flexes) or in worst cases, both knees, it is not inside the knee, it feels like it is on the surface of the knee behind. or to say it in another way, it is this part between hamstring and calf, in the behind of your leg. I hope I explained this in a clear way, if not, let me know please.
the pain isn't awfully sharp but is a lot more sharp than dull. it's felt behind the knee, in the middle and below. I think I don't have swelling there, don't have anything visible there, don't feel anything when I touch it.
symptom details: it just started one day in october... a few days of rest didn't change it at all. it usually never hurts during a run or walking (maybe occasionally I feel the pain for 1 sec as if it was strained). then I noticed that it is usually the worst after getting up from a few mins of sitting with flexed knees or after getting up in the morning (I was sleeping with flexed legs/knees by default). so then I identified that a static flexing of the legs is what makes the pain come up and a few seconds of walking where your legs naturally extend-flex-extend, will make it go away fast. it did feel horrible in the first steps but then went away. when I say it felt horrible it was a different pain, not as sharp, it was more like my knee behind was totally rigid and needed warming up. the other pain that is more sharp can just come suddenly for 1 sec, maybe when I put my leg in an incorrect position.
temporary fix: so then after this realization, I started to pay attention not to keep my legs flexed ever. I even sleep with fully or partially extended legs. it seemed and still seems it is happy as long as the knees are not bent too much. if they were bent in 90 degrees or even more bent than that then it would come back.
after a while this temp fix worked so well that I was able to keep my legs flexed during sitting, for hours, and no pain. but sometimes it would lose the tolerance for being flexed and would come back and then I had to pay more attention to keep my legs extended or partially extended, again.
oh, one more note, I noticed that extending the legs too much can also make it hurt. so there is a fine balance. but most of the time it's happy with the extended state. but I think the best really is a partially extended-partially flexed state (but not reaching 90 degrees!!).
attempts at another fix: then I bought a knee support thing for my runs, to see if it will help. well, it seemed to somewhat help, because I hardly got the symptoms anymore, I could sin by keeping them flexed for very long and no problems... note, I still tend to sit with extended legs out of habit and out of cautiousness.
ok, so the knee support strap seemed to help BUT then it caused different knee pain (related to and) along with quads muscle pain after my workouts. this pain was worrying me too much so now I'm off the knee strap, I don't think it's a good fix if it causes another issue...?! the quads pain was pretty sh*t too. and it didn't 100% fix the original issue anyway.
current status: however it (the strap) did probably help with the original problem because now since I'm not using the strap anymore, my knee behinds (particularly behind the left knee) seem to be more sensitive again, though it is controllable most of the time. but not as controllable when seated on a bus where I don't have space to extend my legs. that led to me feeling the left knee behind in my last workout yesterday (not pain, just uncomfortable) when I started it but it went away. (I felt that because I was "sinning" too much with flexing the legs directly before going out for the workout.)
duh and I had to sprint after a bus the day before that, and my left knee behind was unhappy from sitting on another bus 5 mins before that, and it did hurt during the sprint too.
my real question: OK, so please can someone give me any idea what to do to fix this? I do not want this to become worse or chronic! so if you have ideas other than going to a doctor (I don't know of any good sport doctors here where I live but will keep looking!) that'd be so great.

Whoa, Kim Kye Gwan Has Some Juice After All
For American watchers of the North Korean regime, there was something particularly noteworthy about this weekend's news that Kim Jong Eun met with other officials "to take substantial and high-profile important state measures" – code words for detonating a nuclear explosive.
Among the people in the meeting was the man who has negotiated with the U.S. for the past decade, Kim Kye Gwan, who sat just to the dictator's left.
Mr. Kim is a vice foreign minister and has been North Korea's negotiator at the six-party talks, the process that began in 2003 and involved five nations – China, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the U.S. – who offered economic assistance in return for an end to the North's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
Though that process has been moribund since 2009, Mr. Kim still occasionally travels off to Beijing or New York for a meeting with envoys. He's been seen walking past camera crews, in and out of airports and government buildings, dozens of times through the years.
But American diplomats have long wondered whether Mr. Kim had any access to the top ranks of the regime. He's not on any of the regime organization charts as belonging to any of the political bodies or holding any special roles with, for instance, the all-powerful National Defense Commission.
Indeed, in recent years, some U.S. diplomats have complained privately that they haven't been allowed to talk to anyone higher than Mr. Kim, not even his boss the foreign minister. That's been seen in Washington as a very big signal that, for all the blustery invective and statements issued by North Korean state media criticizing the U.S., no one in Pyongyang is seriously interested in engaging with it.
But now, it appears Mr. Kim has access to the inner sanctum of the regime. Korean Central News Agency even issued a picture (shown above) of Mr. Kim standing up and speaking while the rest of the group listens.
"Kim Kye Gwan is clearly the key diplomatic nuclear point person for the young Kim. No doubt," said Victor Cha, a former U.S. negotiator with North Korea who is now a professor at Georgetown University in Washington.
Also a departure for the Americans who have worked with him: Mr. Kim was wearing a communist-style suit rather than the Western-style suits they've seen him in.
Mr. Kim was mentioned last in the pecking order of those who met with Kim Jong Eun. Even so, his American interlocutors and others engaged in Pyongyang-ology will now be watching to see whether Mr. Kim gets the kind of promotion that his predecessor as American negotiator – Kang Sok-ju, who negotiated the 1994 nuclear agreement – got. In 2007, Mr. Kang was appointed a councilor to the National Defense Commission and, in 2010, became a vice premier and a member of the North Korea Supreme Court.
For the record, here's the KCNA statement listing the participants: "Present at the meeting were Choe Ryong Hae, director of the General Political Bureau of the KPA; Hyon Yong Chol, chief of the General Staff of the KPA; Kim Won Hong, minister of State Security; Pak To Chun and Kim Yong Il, secretaries of the Central Committee of the WPK; Hong Sung Mu, vice department director of the C.C., the WPK; and Kim Kye Gwan, first vice-minister of Foreign Affairs."
KPA refers to Korean People's Army and WPK refers to the Worker's Party of Korea.

I've been here several times and only had one bad reaction. They change their gloves and the buns are done on a separate part of the grill away from the burgers and toppings. They also only put fries in their fryer. Overall I think this place is worth a shot for those of you who are missing fast food.
2525 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863
90% of the time we have no problems but we do have to explain and watch. They have laid the lettuce to wrap the burgers on the prep area where there were bread crumbs. Dedicated fryer and it's one of only 2 places in the area that have a dedicated fryer. Expensive though when you have a teenage boy who wants 2 cheeseburgers and fries!
5650 N. Port Washington Road, Glendale, WI 53217
Staff who took my order let everyone in the kitchen know an order with an allergy was made and those who prepared it changed gloves. No issues here.

4234 Veterans Memorial Dr, Batavia, NY 14020
Great French Fries. Dedicated Fryer.
1520 S. 5th Street, Ste. 101, St. Charles, MO 63303
We went during off hours and the staff was spectacular. Thy immediately suggested using lettuce in place of a bun and definitely knew what they were doing. The asked if it was an allergy, and when I said yes, they immediately changed their gloves. Nothing is fried other than French fries, so those are safe. We did not get the seasoning on the fries, so I don't know about that. The burgers were excellent and we would definitely go back.
517 State St., Madison, WI 53703
Stopped here during a family vacation and it was great. My son has celiac's and the workers knew exactly what to do. There is no bun for the hamburger but he was able to have french fries which he loved! Burgers tasted great too!
9992 Commons St., #130, Lone tree, CO 80124
Did not get sick and the lettuce wrap held together really well despite the quantity of hot sauce.
517 State St., Madison, WI 53703
Fries are 100% gluten free! Ask to have your burger wrapped in lettuce.. let them know of GF needs. They have always done a great job for me! Never have gotten sick. I am Celiac.
8447 Cooper Creek Blvd, Sarasota, FL 34201
I've eaten here at least 20 times. I always ask the person at the register to have them change their gloves and I have yet to get sick. Sadly not all Five Guys are as good. Particularly stay away from the one in Lakeland. But this location is great! Burgers and Fries always hit the spot for me. I'm not sure how they do their mayo so I always skip it, but their lettuce wrapped burgers are great.
3221 32nd Ave S # 400, Grand Forks, ND 58201
I let them know about being celiac, and they cleaned off counter, changed gloves and made me a great burger.
12555 Castlemoor Dr, Eden Prairie, MN 55344
If you tell them you have celiac, they will be extra careful with handling your burger (in a bowl and wrapped separately from everything else). Buns are grilled on a separate griddle.
43 W 55th Street, New York, NY 10019
No gluten free bun!!!!! But the hamburger tastes great. If they had gluten free buns they will get 5 stars!!!!
600 North Greenbush Road, Rensselaer, NY 12144
They are great with gluten free allergy . Burger no bun.
261 Indian Lake Blvd, Hendersonville, TN 37075
Go for a lettuce wrap. Fancy soft drink machine. All the peanuts you want. Order the small fries. No GF buns = No 5 stars.
3124 Kathleen Avenue, Greensboro, NC 27408
I have celiac disease and am extremely sensitive to cross contamination. I've eaten at several locations and have never gotten sick.
8597 W Grand River Ave, Brighton, MI 48116
my son loves Five Guys, we have tried multiple locations with good results. They use gloves and separate containers for bunless burgers. Fries are good, they are the only thing they put in fryers.
3792 Creekshire Ct., Winston Salem, NC 27103
Great place for a burger and fries! Fries are safe because it is the only thing that they fry. They'll be more than happy to prepare your burger separately and keep it away from anything containing gluten. A little on the pricy side, but not terrible. The big order of fries is enough to share between 3-4 people, easy.
418 NY-3, Plattsburgh, NY 12901
What I love about Five Guys is that their buns have their own separate toasting grill that nothing else comes into contact with, and everything else (with the exception of a couple milkshake flavors) is completely gluten free.What I love about this location in particular is that when I order bunless, they automatically ask if it's a preference or allergy, make note of it in the computer, and tell the kitchen staff. One person agrees to take the order, washes hands & changes gloves, then takes my food all the way through the kitchen, and makes sure it is bagged separately from my gluten eating family's food.I have never been crosscontaminated, and eat there multiple times a month.
3267 Hodges Blvd #6, Jacksonville, FL 32224
Can I give a negative star?! Went for lunch specifically stated GLUTEN FREE, cashier had no idea what that was...that's ok she asks a manager. I order I received my burger on a bun--NOT GLUTENFREE AT ALL! I explain and was told another 10 minutes to remake...2 minutes later they hand me my GLUTENFREE food. No way in heck so I spent over 12$ on zip! Tossed it in the trash. The manager was not helpful at all. First and last visit
459 Brandon Town Center Mall, Brandon, FL 33511
Delicious burger in a lettuce "bun" with bacon and cheese plus French fries! Great lunch and I didn't get sick plus I have celiac disease!
1940 Rotunda Dr, Erie, PA 16509
It was my first time going to a Five Guys. I was traveling and we needed a relatively quick dinner stop. I was super tired and appreciated the cashier asking me right away if it was a gluten allergy or if I just didn't want a bun. The lettuce wrap doesn't work all that well compared to some other places that do lettuce wraps, but I kept the foil around it as long as possible and didn't need the fork they included in my bag. The taste of both the burger and fries was just as good as I suspected it would be from other reviews.
2616 N. Maize Rd, Unit 100, Wichita, KS 67205
Delicious! Understanding staff, fast, no problems at all. I have celiac disease and am very sensitive to cc.
2707 171st Place NE, Marysville, WA 98271
The fryer is not dedicated to fries, so the fries are not gluten free. The "gluten free" burger is a tasteless, no condiment patty wrapped in half a head of lettuce.
2240 NW 19th Street, #900, Boca Raton, FL 33431
We told them my daughter had a gluten allergy and they asked if she wanted her burger in a bowl or on a lettuce wrap. They then asked if they needed to change their gloves. I almost cried... they understood! I watched them every step of the way and my daughter was so happy to eat french fries.
29387 Mound Road, Warren, MI 48092
Messy, but really good!!!
1329 Eglin Street #100, Rapid City, SD 57701
Very knowledgeable staff. Let us know they always wash surfaces and change gloves when there is an order for GF. Took care to keep our food safe!
1259 Vann Dr, Jackson, TN 38305
Five Guys is generally a good choice for Celiacs because the only gluten in the kitchen is the hamburger/hot dog buns. If you tell them you have a gluten allergy, everyone will change their gloves. You have to order the "bunless" option (comes in a tinfoil bowl) but you can eat the fries. Good option when you need something quick.
14965 West 119th Street, Olathe, KS 66062
Have often and never had an issue.
820 E Broadway St, Missoula, Mt 59802
Five Guys is my favorite chain restaurant to avoid gluttening. Usually, one individual dons gloves and prepares my food. I honestly, let my guard down and didn't pay much attention how my food was prepared. But I do know, when I unwrapped my sandwich, I found a sesame seed on top of the lettuce. Upon notifying the young man who took my order, he washed his hands, donned gloves and made me a new sandwich. Thankfully, I can report super sensitive me, didn't get glutened!
5413 Whittlesey Blvd, Columbus, GA 31909
Staff understands concept. Burgers fried on cleaned grill upon notification of allergy. Fries are GF.
1872 Thomasville Road, Suite B, Tallahassee, FL 32303
I gave them one star for at least trying to accommodate me. I watched the girl preparing burgers for another customer. She held the bun over the veggies and I watched in horror as lettuce touched the bun and fell back in the bin. The cashier said she could make mine in the back with fresh veggies, but I opted to leave. Leaving sad and hungry. 👎
1587 N. Milwaukee St., Boise, ID 83704
One of my favorites! Delicious burgers and fries! Such a helpful and knowledgeable staff!
2300 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA 22201
I normally love five guys but this location seems to have a CC problem. I keep getting sick after eating here.
1203 S. Croatan Highway, Kill Devil Hills, NC 27948
Super nice and offered to wrap my bun in lettuce, which was packages nicely and was delicious! Even offered to change gloves without me having to ask so!
1395- Enterprise Way, Huntsville, AL 35806
Offer the lettuce wrapped burgers
3863 Medina Road, Fairlawn, OH 44333
The manager came up while the cashier was ringing us out and made sure to ask if I was getting my burger bun less due to an allergy and offered to do a lettuce wrap! Very knowledgeable and told me that when they mark it that way it tells the wait staff to change their gloves! What a policy! So happy to have a burger and not have to worry about contamination! Plus they only do French fries in their deep fryers. When I got my order to go my burger was even separated from my husbands because his had buns. SUPER HAPPY!

Health, Reproductive Rights & Sexuality
Reproductive health problems remain a leading cause of illness and death for women, particularly in developing countries. A leading cause of maternal death is lack of access to health services and prenatal care. Health begins with accurate and comprehensive sex education during adolescence – education that needs to continue throughout adulthood. Researchers in our network are currently working to disseminate evidence-based information and increase access to the full range of reproductive health services so that women can lead healthy and productive lives. Studies have demonstrated the advantages of comprehensive sex education compared with abstinence-only or other programs in preventing teen pregnancy, raising the age of initial sexual activity and lowering rates of sexually transmitted disease. More effort is needed to address the health needs of marginalized populations, particularly immigrant women, who are less likely to seek pre-natal and preventive screenings and care.

LSU men cruise to big win
Published: Friday, December 28, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 28, 2012 at 11:50 p.m.
BATON ROUGE — Former Thibodaux High star Shavon Coleman had 11 points and 13 rebounds, and LSU used balanced scoring to cruise past Houston Baptist 75-58 on Friday.
Andre Stringer and Jalen Courtney scored 11 points apiece, and Andrew Del Piero, Charles Carmouche, Malik Morgan and Eddie Ludwig chipped in nine points each for the Tigers (8-2).
LSU played without guard Anthony Hickey and forward Johnny O'Bryant. Hickey was "disciplined" as announced Thursday by coach Johnny Jones. O'Bryant was held out as a precautionary measure after injuring a leg in the Marquette game.
"I'm really pleased with our guys' effort and the focus that they had the two days that we were back (from Christmas break) here at practice and tonight," Jones said. "Then, when you have the distractions with the (O'Bryant) injury and Hickey not playing tonight, I thought those guys did a great job of focusing. ... Then, we really started off the second half and did an excellent job of rebounding, defending and executing our offense and pushing our lead out there."

SANTA CLARA -- NaVorro Bowman's eyes say so much, perhaps because they've seen so much, that they make their own statement before he introduces his grown-man baritone.
So there's no doubting the linebacker's sincerity when he says his path from perilous neighborhood to Penn State football to All-Pro status with the 49ers has required careful navigation of avenues filled with pain and regret.
"The actions I got caught up in, they were young-minded mistakes and a couple bad habits," Bowman said this week. "Every kid has habits and sometimes it takes a few mistakes to learn from them."
Bowman, who last month turned 25, might not be where he is -- legally wealthy, suddenly famous and highly respected -- without his guardians. There were two influential men at each major crossroads doing what they could to keep him straight.
Sometimes NaVorro saw them and heard them. Other times, he ignored them. Now he sees them all the time. And he hears every word. He'll talk to both on Father's Day.
He'll talk with his father, Hillard Bowman, who, in June 2008, died of complications from a blood clot.
And he'll have a few words with his former coach and mentor, Nick Lynch, who was killed in an auto accident -- six months after the death of Hillard Bowman.
"I use those guys," he said. "I use those guys to get through every single day."
The dad was 53. The mentor-coach was 43. The student-athlete, unsteadily feeling his way through the starkly different culture that existed at Penn State, was devastated.
One year earlier, as a freshman from District Heights, Md., a small patch of a city within the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, Bowman had been suspended by coach Joe Paterno for participating in a fight at the PSU student center.
Growing up surrounded by drugs and violence, Bowman struggled to make the transition to the relatively tranquil college community. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and received a one-year probation sentence.
Lynch massaged him through the episode. Bowman was the star of one of Lynch's two championship teams at Suitland High.
Hillard Bowman never missed a game. And just as his son prepared to re-establish himself as a sophomore at PSU, the dad was gone.
"When my father passed, I kind of wanted to throw in the towel," he said. "Just go home and do something to help my mom.
"But her being as strong as she is, she told me to stay in school, that my daddy wouldn't want me to quit. I carry that with me every day."
Propped up by Johncie Bowman's words and his father's spirit, NaVorro spent the next six months helping the Nittany Lions reach the 2009 Rose Bowl -- only to have an assistant coach tell him the night before the game that Lynch was dead.
How could this be? It had been mere hours since Bowman talked with his old coach.
"I asked why?" Bowman recalled. "But God has a plan. Those things that happened, and they were sad times, tragedies in my life.
"On the flip side, it made me work. It allowed me to realize that I have a chance to be the breadwinner, a chance to change not just my life, but also be in position to where my mom would never have to work again."
That always was Bowman's fantasy. He was a punishing linebacker and a 1,200-yard running back at Suitland. If he kept it together, he might become an NFL star and get his folks out of the old neighborhood.
"Every time I talked to my best friend, I was expecting to hear something negative or tragic," Bowman recalled. "It's a street thing, and I had to be able to separate from the streets, to get right from wrong. That kept me going.
"I'm not a saint. I've been around a lot of different things. But I know right from wrong, and I realized the opportunity I had before me."
The 49ers last November rewarded him with a $45.25 million extension through 2018.
"Not by any means do I take anything for granted," Bowman said. "Every day I just thank God for everything, and for how much success I'm having so early in my career."
He says the accolades mean a lot, that he has earned the respect of his peers. The security means his family's needs are more than met. He will enjoy his children this weekend. He will thank his father, and his coach, on Sunday.
"I mostly communicate with them by going out and playing, and it's pretty close to 100 percent of the time that I'll get a text or a phone call from somebody saying my father and my coach are up there smiling down on me," he said.
"When I get those, I know I'm doing the right thing."

SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Jose State football team is a month away from its Aug. 29 opener against Sacramento State. Training camp opens on Thursday, meaning the time to start talking on the field is near.
On Monday however, it was another chance to simply talk about the upcoming season. The three Bay Area college football teams gathered for their annual media day and the only coach in the room who hasn't coached a game involving the Spartans is SJSU's own Ron Caragher.
Stanford coach David Shaw has faced the Spartans twice as a head coach and three times as a Cardinal assistant. The first game of his head-coaching career was a 57-3 win over SJSU.
He witnessed the improvements of the Spartans that saw them give Stanford fits last year before the Cardinal pulled out a 20-17 victory.
"They've recruited well," Shaw said of the Spartans. "They've recruited tough kids and given them a structure to help them be successful."
Shaw coached a season at the University of San Diego under Jim Harbaugh. During his season on staff, new SJSU offensive coordinator Jimmie Dougherty was a fellow assistant. He also has experience coaching against new defensive coordinator Kenwick Thompson, who spent the past six years at Cal.
"I have all the respect in the world for the defensive coordinator," Shaw said of Thompson. "He's given us fits everywhere he's been. I believe in their offense, having some experience with Jimmie Doughery, knowing their not going to do exactly what we do. He's going to put his own spin on that offense but I know that they'll be sound."
Cal coach Sonny Dykes spent the past three years at Louisiana Tech and went 2-1 as fellow Western Athletic Conference members against SJSU. That includes a 52-41 loss to David Fales and the Spartans last season.
He spoke of the work done by former coach Mike MacIntyre.
"They built the team the right way," Dykes said. "Mike's a really good football coach. They hired a good staff and did things the right way. They recruited kids that could graduate. They had some academic issues on the front end like we do at Cal. He fixed them the right way by bringing in kids that care about academics and bringing accountability to the program."
San Jose State hasn't played against Cal since 1996. With Dykes' association having played against the Spartans in the WAC, could that change?
"I think it makes sense," Dykes said. "Schedules and all that stuff is done so far in advance. I think it makes sense to play people that are geographically close to you. I know there's a lot of people that want to play us. How does that all fall into our scheduling? It remains to be seen."

Growing up in Oakland, I used to imagine I was the mayor. Playgrounds and basketball courts would stay open 24 hours if I had my way. Big wheels and dirt bikes would be the official mode of transportation.
Ice cream trucks would be posted on every street corner so my friends and I wouldn't have to chase them down the block.
In this fantasy dream world I'd create in my mind, I'd change the name from Oakland to Kidland.
I may have outgrown my desire to be mayor, but not the inclination to create names.
Every trip through Oakland's cosmopolitan neighborhoods conjures up a desire to name it with the same earnest fervor I had as a child. It's my way of proudly claiming Oakland as my hometown, while embracing this melting pot.
Thinking others might feel the same, I traveled through East Oakland with my fellow Oakland Voices correspondent Katrina Davis to inquire if residents knew the names of their neighborhoods. We asked residents if they would call it something else, and why?
"Quiet Park" is what Robeson Berry, 37, would name Maxwell Park because "it's pretty much quiet all the time."
"I can't give it a name," said Chris Jones, 41, when first asked to name the 62nd Avenue Havenscourt/Picardy area. When pressed, he said, "We'll we call it The Planet because it's a melting pot over there. It's a lot of mixed interracial relations over there, black and Hispanics."
In the Dimond district, Kife Sorenson, 42, a resident for 12 years said the neighborhood was questionable when he first moved there, but "it's nice now. I'd keep it the Dimond."
In the 23rd Avenue district, Emma Apodaca, 38, carried groceries and closely held the hand of her 4 year-old-son, Cruz. She said the neighborhood is called "Murder Dubs" because of the area's homicide rate.
But, she said, "we still survive." Despite the area's reputation, "we look out for each other."
"Bossland" is the "common old name" neighbors use for 96th Avenue and Birch Street, said Julian Damone, 20, of his neighborhood in Elmhurst,
He'd prefer to call it "Ujamaa Village" -- the Tanzanian concept of people working in a collective community. The name, Damone said, is a great way to get blacks "into sustaining villages or neighborhoods in a green environment."
Chailinda Starnes, 20, who lives in the 60s, believed that her neighborhood is officially called Avenal. But in the neighborhood, they like to call it "Purple City," she said, because they "float purple on the street." I'm guessing she was referring to either marijuana or a mix of cough syrup or codeine -- a popular narcotic on the streets.
She would rename her neighborhood "God's Gift," because "there's a lot of talented people (here)."
Oakland is known for it's diversity and culture -- many cultures intermixed in the commercial shopping districts and residential areas. "We got just about everything here," said Simone Brown, 45, of the Fairfax District. "Diverse Beyond" is how she'd described it. "A whole lot of different races all in the same neighborhood. Some get along, and you see some that just don't."
Leo Elias, 36, and his friend Gabby shared a common theme for their neighborhood. "The Plaza" is what Elias would rename the Fruitvale district because he says it "unites families together." Gabby likes the "Spanish district" as its new name because "it is family," he says emphatically.
For Paul Johnson, 42, of Cleveland Heights, it is a no-brainer that she describes the area that borders Lake Merritt as "The Lake Neighborhood." Smiling, she said, "it's all about the lake, and that's why so many people live, exercise and walk around it."
In the end, I realized that Oakland isn't so easy to label or define. Natural beauty surrounded by concrete and steel. Foreclosures alongside model homes. World class arts and entertainment within blocks of escalating crime.
What name would explain the crime, unemployment and local politics that govern some of our neighborhoods but barely impact others?
I believe a child can imagine anything if they just believe. Maybe we can all take a cue, and if the reality of your neighborhood isn't what you want it to be, take a deep breath and just name it.
If you have a name for your neighborhood, email it to firstname.lastname@example.com or Tweet it to @oaklandvoices.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that doesn't take a break for nothing. No rain, no sleet nor any amount of snow will stop this here column from getting out. Although if there's more than 4 inches of Christmas pow on the ground this morning, you can bet your newest Christmas present that we are out getting it while the gettin' is good. And this said column may be a bit late, since we'll be up on the hill. Basically, if you read these words before going skiing or riding, there's a pretty good chance that you've missed the "fresh tracks" window. Just kidding. There is plenty of great snow all over this winter wonderland of ours for everyone to enjoy.
Here's wishing you all a very Merry Xmas and a fantastic New Year. And remember the skier safety code today so no one gets hurt out there. Peace out.

I spend most of my time doing Web programming - basically, tinkering and cleaning up some professional websites that require maximum accessibility, and efficient coding while remaining very simple. This needs XHTML+CSS+ECMAscript and some PHP glue; and while I have no problem running a LAMP test server on my main machine, up until now I needed a spare machine just to do testing under Windows.
Not anymore.
(Revised: some typos, missing brackets, and an 'extra' on kqemu configuration)
Virtual Goodness
A Faint Hope
Beforehand, I used a spare machine, some refurbished stuff that was supposed to move to my boss' wife's medical cabinet but remained under my desk for months before I decided to use it to do some IE ugliness testing.
In short, throwing CSS and Jscript hacks around to make my websites work as similarly as possible under Internet Explorer 6 as it did under W3C-compliant browsers while keeping those free of intrusive IE-only code. With the existence of IE7, I would have even needed two of those machines...
Luckily, since I wasn't the only one in this situation, there are already ways to at least test a website using several IEs under a single Windows machine; and the spare was used to run Windows XP (it came with it), with IE7 installed and IE 4,5 and 6 as 'standalone' installs. From 4 to 1 extra machines needed for testing: sweet.
But then, that machine was needed for a temporary worker in-shop: since I couldn't scrap enough budget to buy a new machine, my test machine had to be freed and formatted like all other machines in the shop (that's another part of my job). As such, no more multiple IE test machine; back to square one.
Holy Grail
Having read about virtual machines, I started looking for more data; what softwares were available, easy to use, and the least expensive?
Right at that moment, the Mandriva French user mailing list got a post saying that Kqemu was finally GPL'ed, and not a binary blob with glue as it used to be.
I knew about Qemu, which is Fabrice Bellard's work on a multi-machine, multi-purpose emulator originally based on the Bochs emulator (but now radically different); learning more about the Qemu kernel module (kqemu), I was surprised to learn that it allowed almost native speed emulation of complete x86 machines on x86-based GNU/Linux systems.
So I decided to give it a test drive, first by installing the version bundled with my distribution, then using the latest tarballs.
Frankly, I was very soon amazed, but it required some tinkering on my part.
The Quest for Ultimate Performance
First, I had to create the virtual machine; that requires creating a virtual drive image that will be stocked in a single, huge file; the rest of the system is emulated by Qemu. Basically,
- my current CPU: an Athlon64 2600+ (with some extra clock speed, however the overclock was prompted by Gimp sluggishness, not Qemu)
- an Intel 440FX chipset (probably the only way you'll see a 686 AMD on an Intel chipset - heh)
- a Cirrus Logic 5446 card (can be replaced with a generic VESA 2.0 card for higher resolutions)
- an NE2000 compatible card
- a CD-ROM reader (automatic since version 0.9)
- an ACPI controller
Additionally, I could have added:
- a USB controller
- a sound card: PC speaker, Sound Blaster 16 or Ensoniq AudioPCI ES1370
- multiple core emulation
Reading the documentation extensively, I decided to emulate a single core machine with no USB, no sound, 300 Mb of RAM and 4 Gb of hard disk space. Thus I created a RAW disk image, asked Qemu to boot from my cdrom drive, and started installing Windows XP Professional on it (I had a spare license). For now I didn't care about performance.
Suffice to say that it is better with such 'guest' OS to disable ACPI (possible Blue Screen Of Death caused by 'virtual' virtual IRQs being mistreated).
Compress a Real Machine into a 800 Mb file
The install was a bit longuish (GNU/Linux systems spoiled me, I guess), but I was soon booting into Windows 'proper'; updates were installed (reboot), cleaned up (reboot), useless services shut down (reboot), IE7 installed (reboot), additional updates installed (reboot), and then finally I could install MultipleIE. Having cleaned up the system, defragmented the disk, freed up 'recovery'-wasted space, resized the swap file (reboot), I decided that the image was ready.
Notice the amount of rebooting; having those take place on a virtual machine hosted on a Linux-based system with plenty of RAM made those oh so fast...
I then decided to convert my 4 Gb image to a smaller, compressed, read-only image (the system would basically boot up from the same point in time and all modifications would be saved in /dev/null): the qcow2 formal allowed that. However, I was soon puzzled by a strange thing.
The new image was no smaller than the original, RAW image; I had expected to go down to, at least, the virtual drive's occupied size (by then, around a gigabyte). But then I remembered.
Windows file systems don't clean clusters when files they contain are deleted or moved. So I had to find something to clean free disk space. While Linux does the same thing, you at least have system tools to clean up after yourself if you so desire. No such luck with Windows.
So I installed Eraser 5.8, configured it to run a simple, zero-fill, pass. And then I redid the conversion.
I could finally run multiple Internet Explorer versions from a 800 Mb virtual machine that always boot fresh in a window. But it was a bit slow sometimes.
The Race is ON
Thus I decided to attack the accelerator; but for that, I needed to actually recompile Qemu from source (it requires a gcc 3.x version, gcc 4.x won't work) and then compile Kqemu (requires kernel headers and the same compiler than the one used to compile the kernel). That was soon done.
I was a bit anxious, due to the fact that until now I had run Qemu on a 64-bit machine to emulate a 32-bit machine; the accelerator required both host and guest machines to use the same CPU.
The compilation went without an itch (Qemu required I specified the compiler at .configure time, but the rest was pretty much painless), the kernel module loaded without problem, and I could finally boot my accelerated virtual machine - using qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel-kqemu - and watch.
At first, I saw no difference; Qemu would tell me that it couldn't find /dev/kqemu (while it was obviously there). So I tried to start Qemu as root (not for long!), there was no error message; thus, I tried chmod 666 /dev/kqemu.
Holy Dooly, that thing's FAST!
In order for me not to have to log in as root every time I wanted to start that virtual machine, I did some config files editing:
- in /etc/modprobe.preload, load kquemu;
- in /etc/rc.local, i added: echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq and chmod 666 /etc/kqemu for a 'warning-free' Qemu loading
While the user mode emulation reminded me of an early try at running XP on an old laptop with very little RAM, a very slow hard drive and a puny processor, the kernel-accelerated version of the same was blazing fast, booting in a flash and launching applications at pretty much native speed.
You got Power
I was stumped for a while on how to manage the emulation while it was running; the documentation mentioned a monitor, but for the life of me I didn't know how to access it; it allows commits to disk while running in snapshot mode, memory state dump and recovery (meaning you can save a running guest while it runs and restore it to that same point in time later on), stop the emulation (guest is frozen) and resume it (be careful, the guest's clock needs to be reset), unmounting and remounting devices (cds, USB devices) and some other useful things.
Simply press Ctrl+Alt+2 for the monitor console, Ctrl+Alt+1 goes back to the emulated system's screen.
Ain't that sweet?
The accelerated system boots in under a few seconds; CPU use goes down to almost zero when the virtual machine is started and idling. The only thing I have to watch for is that sometimes, the guest system's clock goes forward a bit. But frankly, that thing is FAST: it enjoys close to native CPU speed and benefits from Linux's accelerated disk access on a compressed, read only system; the emulated machine takes up 300 Mb of RAM, but only because a lower value (default would be 128 Mb) means emulated swap thus some emulation slowdown.
It's even more comfortable to run an emulated machine than it was to run two machines side by side. For one thing, that's one less machine to load an antivirus for (it starts clean every time), and one less hard disk+fans noise.

virtual box
Great read. I was wondering how this would compare to virtual box? Did anyone have some experience with it? It is also GPL.
There are other methods for testing
Might be time to exit before Vista 'virtualisation tax' kicks in. See browsershots.org, for example.
I know about browsershot, but...
...it is just that: a collection of screenshots. When you need to test CSS, DHTML or ECMAscript behaviours, browsershot is useless.
Not to mention it may take a few hours and some retries before you get your browser shot.
Right now I use it to ensure that Safari works (but I'm not too concerned about Safari/Webkit, I test under Konqueror...).
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
Web design fine, but...
Let me see. This is cool and all but why do I just dual boot?
#1 Native speeds.
#2 Full features. Full use of resources.
#3 I don't have to have double the memory.
Hmmm, maybe if we simply speed up booting, running in a window will not be so cool.
If you want to run popular Win apps, WINE does a fair job and as if native (with out Windows it's self.) But then, we don't need Win apps with so much to choose from, in open source.
Get Kubuntu. If you have to work on Windows, use your old computer. While a dual boot is fun for comparison, todays Kubuntu really doesn't even need it(but you may want to start his way). Either I can do it in Kubuntu or I don't care about it.
VM's are for developers (like the author).
I sometimes use WINE (easy install) to run the actual Windows version of Firefox and the windows plugins as if native on Kubuntu; just to play. I also have IE6 with WINE (yes in Kubuntu) but I NEVER need it.
I also use KMyMoney now instead of Quicken so Microsoft (and Intuit) can suck eggs.
Need to substanciate
About #1: frankly, I can't find speed differences between emulated and native XP in such a setup: my machine, although not top-notch, has far more oomph than needed to run XP at full speed. Disabling themes has a drastic impact on XP usually, especially on non-accelerated video cards, and it holds true here - so if you go that way, shut down the 'Themes' service and revert to 'legacy' dektop themes.
For one thing, that gets rid of the Fisher-Price look everywhere, even on the login screen.
About #2: the only thing the emulated system lacks is a 3D card. The rest's here. Using the accelerator, system overhead is very low.
About #3: you don't need double the memory. In fact, memory/disk management on recent Linux kernel, being much better than Windows', allow you to setup a virtual machine with close to your system's full RAM capacity, and still do stuff on the side. Spare 128 Mb for Linux (or even only 64 Mb if you run lightweight desktop managers), give the rest to Qemu: enjoy.
I must admit I didn't try other VMs recently; Qemu seduced me due to its very small size, versatility, and relative ease of use when you don't fear the command line. It's proven itself fast and stable until now, and when it ain't broke...

ok.. here goes..
i have been using virtualization now for probalby 1yr.. presently using VMware's free server.. but being an admin demands (in my opinion) that i learn and keep up with what is out there... aswell as the fact that id gladly use A GPL'd peice od software rather than a non-gpl...
as of late.. i have been giving a few other "free" as in beer Virtualization software a try.. first i tried virtual box... it is almost identical to vmware's server when it comes to the management console... however.. there are limitiations.. of the top of my head.. there was lack of support for a few things in the free version.. the good thing is that just like vmware you do not need a newer processor with the virtualization extensions... performance seemed to be on par with VMware...
then i tired the virtual iron.. the first thing that hits you is that you NEED to have a newer processor with the virtualization extension, which adds to the cost of free.. it is defenetly alittle more complicated to setup but not so hard that it cannot be done.. but it defenetly more complicated... performance was nice.. i cannot say it was like native.. but im sure it was close.. the free versions limits you to a single processor VM and i think a single managed box... what i did not like was the fact that all the configuration is stored on the management console not on the box being managed..
last but not least is xenexpress... this also needs the virtualization extension.. it is alittle more complicated then vmware but alittle easier than virtual iron.. performance is on par with virtual iron.. Oh and one other thing.. virtual iron and xenexpress both do not afficially support any windows version less then XP... on the possitive side.. the configuration stays on the managed box.. so management can be done from any pc as long as you have the software installed.. aswell.. as if ytou so not have any management pc runing the box will still come up and run your vm's.
i have not settles on any of the new ones yet.. still have to do more testing.. but just to give you guy alittle headsup maybe....
NOW.. as to WHY virtualize and not dual boot.. well.. you have everything running at once first comes to mind.. i run a Virtual windows machine ontop of my pclinuxos... if i need to pop into windows real quick to do something.. it is there running no need for a second machine.. no need to shut down linux and get into windows.. and i can have all the windows apps i need running without having to play with wine.. another plus is the fact that if you need to try something and you are affraid it may screwup yur windows install.. just clone your windows VM ,install the software, test it.. once you convinced your good to go.. delete the vm and run it on your production VM.. once you have used virtualization.. everything else is just antiquated..
I saw Microsoft has its own
I saw Microsoft has its own virtualisation software out for free. But here's the rub - you can only stick MS OS's on it!
Actually, not anymore
No, I think that Virtual PC 2005 release 2 can actually run Fedora Core. Note that MS didn't create Virtual PC, they bought it 2 years ago, along with the devs.
Why you'd run a stable system as guest with an unstable host though, that stumps me.

Another lightfooted walk today on the railtrail, 3 miles. My injured foot felt so good, I went dancing afterwards.
Here's a picture to prove it. Notice how flexible my feet are D.H.? A sure sign my Plantar Fasciitis is getting better.
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
Decided to try a relatively short run today, 3.56 miles in 31:21 or ~8::48/mi. Shin/tendon felt tired during the run and is now bit sore. Guess I'll have to ice the thing when I get home.
Rich, love the picture...You look so young!
DH, LOL on the DD picture from yesterday, but he's not walking like a duck! That's a major heel strike!!!
Hi Ray! I wonder what the heck's going on with your tendon, maybe too much racing? It sounds like you're making progress, if it's only a bit sore after your last run, maybe you'll be pain free soon.
Thanks for the picture comment. Running actually delays the aging process, heck, women half my age flirt with me all the time. At least I think they're flirting, maybe they sense how good of a dancer I am.
Dark Horse is something else, isn't he? I'm about to throw in a run that'll make his head spin, just to prove Plantar Fasciitis can be beat.
Oh yeah, did you watch football Monday Night? Makes you wonder what Belichek's got planned for the 49'ers this week, doesn't it?
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...

- May 18:
- Purdy: San Jose Sharks pull off overtime win in 'Survivor' game
- Logan Couture goal gives San Jose Sharks overtime win
- Sharks fined $100,000 for GM Doug Wilson's comments about Torres suspension
- Sharks hope loud HP Pavilion crowd helps in vital Game 3
- Sharks' Marty Havlat expected to play in Game 3
SAN JOSE -- The NHL has fined the Sharks $100,000 for general manager Doug Wilson's statement that criticized the series-long suspension of forward Raffi Torres for a hit that injured Los Angeles Kings center Jarret Stoll in Game 1.
The league said Saturday that $25,000 of that fine is for violating rules that ban any comment on a disciplinary decision during the 48-hour period in which it can be appealed. The other $75,000 is for the "inappropriate nature of the comments."
A Sharks spokesman said the team would not comment on the fine.
The 48-hour ban was spelled out in a memorandum issued to all clubs at the start of the lockout-delayed 2013 season, according to an NHL news release. In his statement, Wilson said Torres would not be appealing the decision, but apparently that was not enough to escape the penalty.
NHL director of public safety Brendan Shanahan ruled Thursday that the Torres hit violated the league rule that prohibits targeting the head. Factoring in Torres' previous three suspensions, Shanahan ruled Torres could not play this the rest of this second-round series.
On Friday, Wilson issued a statement detailing his objections to Shanahan's interpretation of Rule 48.1 that addresses head shots and assessment of the Torres hit.
"The Sharks organization fully supports the NHL in its efforts to remove illegal and dangerous hits from the game," Wilson said, "but we strongly disagree with the NHL's decision to suspend Raffi Torres."
Later in the statement, Wilson added: "Although it's unfortunate that Jarret was injured on the play, we feel this decision is grossly unfair to Raffi, his teammates and our fans."
Kearns, who turned 32 on May 12, played in the Sharks' first two games against the Kings and averaged 12 shifts and 6:21 of ice time.
"I have to be smart and get pucks out and get pucks in, get some hits," Kearns said Saturday morning. "I feel I can be a difference maker if given the opportunity. That's what I want to focus on."
The retired Thornton was in town to attend a wedding in addition to taking in a playoff game. Now 42, he played his final two seasons with the Kings but let his loyalties be known as far as the game he was returning to see later.
"Hope to see a big home victory tonight," he said.

An East Flat Rock man was charged Thursday with one felony count of taking indecent liberties with a child.
The child was under the age of 16 at the time of incident.
The Henderson County Sheriff's Office arrested David Wayne Jones Sr., 59, of 2712 Old Spartanburg Highway, at the home of a relative. Jones offered no resistance, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Office Friday.
Jones was also charged in an unrelated matter of misdemeanor assault on a female. He remains in the Henderson County Detention Center in lieu of $21,000 bond.

No other thread on this guy so I thought I'd start one.
At the moment I'm not even convinced we've spoken to Shaktar but he hasn't shown up for a pre season trip / training and I'm now reading that Dortmund have made an offer of 23m Eur. That makes our life tougher if we are interested in this player as Dortmund can offer Europe.

Well that amount only comes to 19.5m they wanted 20m but i've read also they are now wanting 25m. Whether we get him goodness know but i'm not bothered there are loads of other options in that kind of area.
Hi Colyn
I don't have anything other than heresay (stuff you've probably already heard). It looks as if we want him but it's a complicated deal (many interested parties) and the club aren't in a hurry to sell and so are asking top dollar.
It'll come down to whether we're prepared to stump up the cash I guess but, from the little I've seen of him, he looks the real deal.
I confess to being a bit confused by the clubs transfer dealings so far - lots of squad-types coming into positions that I didn't have as particularly weak. This will be the first nail-on first teamer if he comes.
My guess is we'll see more outs than ins before that happens.

Have to agree with you there Paddy and it was exactly what I was thinking. Aspas is likely to pop up on the right over Downing so might be considered a starting line up upgrade, though his No.9 shirt suggests he may be seen more as a striking option. No idea what Alberto will do, though it sounds bad for Sterling, our great hope only 6 months ago. Kolo won't start over Skrtel so it looks like we are waiting to upgrade our starting eleven. As Armchair says, if it is Henrikh or Erikksen, both would be a significant upgrade on our starting line up.
