WSJ/NBC Poll: Solid Support for Legal Marijuana
As more and more states consider relaxing their marijuana laws, a majority of Americans said they favor laws allowing adults to buy small quantities of marijuana from state-licensed businesses, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released early Tuesday.
The poll found that 55% said they favor allowing regulated businesses to sell marijuana, with nearly a quarter saying they actively support the measure. Another quarter said they oppose the measure but have not actively worked to have it overturned, and about one in five said they actively oppose it.
Young people overwhelmingly favor legalizing marijuana, with nearly three-quarters of those aged 18-34 saying they support changing the law. Of those aged 35-49, just over half said they favored it, compared to 49% of those aged 50-64 and 38% of those aged 65 and older.
Democrats also vastly support legalization efforts over Republicans, with 66% of Democrats in favor compared to 38% of Republicans. Meanwhile, support stayed largely the same across different levels of education, hovering near 55% for respondents who did not complete high school to those with postgraduate degrees.
Support for legalizing marijuana mirrors very closely support for same-sex marriage, the poll found. Some 53% said they favored same-sex marriage in an April 2013 Journal poll—nearly the exact number that favor marijuana legalization in this month's poll. Young people offered broad support for same-sex marriage, too, with 64% in favor.
Support margins between Democrats and Republicans widened for same-sex marriage, with 73% of Democrats in favor compared to 27% of Republicans.
These numbers come as several states, including New York and Pennsylvania, have marijuana legalization measures pending. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced earlier this month that he plans to establish a program allowing 20 hospitals to prescribe medical marijuana. In Pennsylvania, a bill was introduced in the state Senate last week that would legalize marijuana. In Florida, a petition to allow medical marijuana use earned the number of signatures needed Friday to be placed on Florida's election ballot in November.
Same-sex marriage legalization has also made strides in recent months. In Virginia, Attorney Gen. Mark Herring announced he would seek to have the state's ban on same-sex marriage declared unconstitutional, and a federal judge in Oregon is currently considering a lawsuit to overturn the state's ban. Federal judges in Oklahoma and Utah recently rejected such bans, though those decisions have been appealed.
The poll, which surveyed 800 adults from Jan. 22-25, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.46 percentage points.

Soprano Jennifer DeDominici and tenor Daniel Fosha, who starred in the National Repertory Orchestra's "Broadway and Beyond" concerts the last two years, take center stage Saturday at the Silverthorne Pavilion for "Night Before the Oscars," an evening of Oscar-winning music presented by the NRO. The repertoire runs the gamut from the Oscars' early years to the present. "There will be crooning solos, rocking duets and everything in between," said DeDominici, who looks forward to performing "Moon River." "So many famous male crooners have sung it over the years that I had forgotten that in the movie it is actually sung by a woman," she said. "When we realized that the movie version (the one that won the Oscar) was sung by Audrey Hepburn, I quickly took the song for myself to perform." DeDominici is an American lyric mezzo-soprano who has been amassing top reviews for her work on stages throughout the region. The Westword called her voice "fluid and gleaming as a deep, running stream at night" for her portrayal of Signora Fioria in the Arvada Center's production of "Do I Hear a Waltz?" Fosha, who has entertained audiences nationwide, is known for his versatility from musical theater and opera to the classical repertory. Past roles range from Marius in "Les Miserables" and George Bailey in "A Wonderful Life" to Puccini's "Madama Butterfly" and tenor spotlight in Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" and Beethoven's Symphony No. 9.On Saturday, the pair will perform duets for "Falling Slowly" and "Up Where We Belong." Other pieces include songs from "The Wizard of Oz," "Top Gun," "Dirty Dancing" and "A Star Is Born." "Dan and I are both classically trained, which has taught us flexibility and healthy singing - both of which are essential when doing a concert that includes such a huge variety of styles of singing," DeDominici said, admitting that the two are charting new territory with some of the pop and rock numbers. "Both Dan and I were surprised at how much fun we're having learning and preparing these duets that are often in a style we don't sing on a regular basis," she said."We are delighted that Jennifer and Daniel will once again combine their outstanding talents for this fundraiser for the National Repertory Orchestra," NRO spokesperson Julie Chandler said. "They are compelling, beautifully focused and expressive singers. Jennifer and Daniel provide moving performances, and the audience will revel in the richness of their voices."Pianist Deborah Schmit-Lobis - a composer, arranger and recording artist who has performed with several major Colorado arts organizations - will accompany the pair. "This show is going to be a bit of a spin-off of an actual Oscars award show," DeDominici said. "We are only singing pieces that actually won the Oscar at some point in history. We will announce categories of songs with a list of nominees followed by a set of music."The evening also features a contest for the best Oscar attire and the chance to win prizes for guessing Sunday's Oscar winners. Free coffee and dessert will be served at intermission. The evening is sponsored by the town of Silverthorne, Maryland Creek Ranch, Everist Materials, Hyman Foundation, Schmitt Music and the Summit Daily News.

Gaffney man pleads guilty in federal court to an illegal gun sales charge
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 12:17 a.m.
A Gaffney man pleaded guilty in federal court Monday to a charge related to illegal gun sales, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
David Hopper, 59, of Gaffney pleaded guilty in Florence to unlawfully engaging in the business of dealing in firearms, U.S. Attorney Bill Nettles said in a written statement.
U.S. District Judge Terry L. Wooten of Florence accepted the plea and will sentence Hopper after reviewing a pre-sentencing report prepared by the U.S. Probation Office.
Evidence presented at the plea hearing established that from July 2003 to June 2012, Hopper bought and sold firearms without a federal firearms license. Hopper sold the firearms at various gun shows, including the Florence Gun and Knife Show, Jamil Temple Gun Show and Chesnee Flea Market, authorities said.
Hopper faces a maximum fine of $250,000 and/or five years in prison, Nettles said.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

text: Now I know what you're thinking, but hear me out on this. The 1987 cult comedy "Summer School" is definitely not a horror movie whatsoever. But it's one of my 'must watch' summer favorites and it features one of my all time favorite horror scenes in a non horror movie. For those unfamiliar with the movie, it's about a high school gym teacher (Mark Harmon) who has to cancel his summer plans to teach a summer school English course for a bunch of goof off underachievers. Horror fans will recognize Shawnee Smith as pregnant teen Rhonda.

STOCKTON - Prosecutors on Tuesday presented evidence the three men - one of the defendants a former child actor in a 1990s sitcom - connected to a deadly stabbing at Chitiva's Bar and Grill are part of a criminal street gang.
Former actor Dorjan Daniels of ABC's 1990s "The Hughleys" and his two friends, Marcus McCliman and rapper Djuane Nunley, are being tried for the murder of Stockton resident John Joseph, 26.
The Southern California men became involved in a fight with a group of locals outside the nightclub on Aug. 26, 2011, prosecutors say. And it resulted in Joseph's fatal stabbing.
Daniels, 23, McCliman, 26, and Nunley, 25, attended the club that day at the invitation of an acquaintance, a female bartender of Chitiva's. Authorities say the three men flashed gang signs and instigated the fight at the club.
Joseph, the victim, is not identified as a gang member.
Deputy District Attorney Janet Smith on Tuesday displayed photographs from Nunley's cellphone showing the defendants hand gesturing gang signs.
They were shown forming the letter B with their fingers and making symbols indicating the number 14 in various pictures.
Authorities believe based on witness accounts that McCliman is the one who killed Joseph and that Daniels and Nunley aided and abetted in the scuffle.
But defense attorneys argue the stabbing was in self-defense.
Nunley's attorney, John Panerio, contends his client was knocked unconscious and therefore, he could not have been involved in the murder.
Defense attorneys say the incident was not gang-related, rather a fight over girls. And that their clients were defending themselves after being beaten and robbed.
Attorneys on the case are expected to close next week, after nearly a month of testimony.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that has the ah - the AHCHOO ... flu.
In fact, we're feeling so awful that we're probably going to have to go home now and leave our adoring readers to wonder what brilliant prose might have filled the remainder of this microscopic space.
NOT-SO-ADORING READERS: Yeah, right. That was the fakest print sneeze we've ever read!
SUMMIT UP: Ok, Sherlock, you caught us. We don't have the flu. Actually, daily columns don't get the flu. It only infects the weaker weekly columns and the occassional poorly written news brief.
But, as hilarious as all our witty journalism banter may be, the flu this year is no laughing matter. We're hearing there's a particularly bad bout of it out there, and these days seems like everyone in the county's infected. So remember wash your hands, drink lots of fluids and if you begin experiencing flu-like symptoms please, stay the hell away from us.
Folks, there are two kinds of people in this world: those who like creamy peanut butter and those lunatics out there who prefer crunchy. We've found there is just no middle ground on this and almost no one who can tolerate both. So now's the time, peanut butter eaters of the world. Send us your arguments for your kind of peanut butter at summitup@summit

New cancer target draws €259m
11.12.2012 - British pharma GlaxoSmithKline fosters its transatlantic ties. Texas-based MD Anderson will receive €259m for a cancer immune therapy programme.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) secured a promising cancer immune therapy programme by collaborating with University of Texas MD Anderson from Houston (US). The deal, which allots GSK worldwide exclusive rights, was been made public on 7 December. In total, the pharma company could pay more than €259m in upfront and milestone payments, excluding the royalties of possible therapeutic antibody sales.
The programme in question has been established by former MD Anderson professor Yong-Jun Liu who is now working at the Baylor Research Institute in Dallas. Liu found that an activation of the T cell receptor OX40 (CD134) on the surface of dendritic cells improves the chances of an immune attack mediated by these cells: "T cell recognition of a tumour antigen is not enough to activate the T cells against cancer cells, they need a secondary signal to tell them "that antigen you have is a bad thing, you have to attack,'" Liu said. Hence, he and his team screened for antibodies that could mimic the natural activator OX40L, which enables amplification of Th2 cell differentiation upon binding to its receptor. Right now the candidates have been boiled down to half a dozen. The collaboration with GSK in this late preclinical stage comes as no surprise for Liu: "It is gratifying to see this important step towards translating a basic science discovery into a potential new therapy that can proceed to clinical trial."
The agreement between academia and economy is the first pact for MD Anderson's new Institute for Applied Cancer Science (IACS). This institute is one of several projects of the recently launched 'Moon Shot Program' that tries to advance discoveries from basic sciences into the clinic. Dubbed as the "nation's No. 1 hospital for cancer care", MD Anderson thinks that "the end of cancer is closer than you think." Other cancer types included in the Moon Shots Program are breast and ovarian cancers, leukaemia (AML/MDS as well as CLL), lung cancer, melanoma and prostate cancer.
It is not the first time that a company aims to target OX40. The human MAB oxelumab targets not the receptor but its ligand OX40L. After Phase II trails in allergic asthma patients failed, Roche's US subsidiary Genentech terminated the development of oxelumab (huMAb OX40L) with Danish Genmab in Q2/2011.

If you're a beginner triathlete like me, you're probably a little nervous, but mostly curious and excited about swimming in open water for the first time. What I've learned in my brief, but rather intense triathlon training is that there's a HUGE difference between swimming in the pool and swimming in open water.
My first experience in open water wasn't during a practice session but during my first spring triathlon. I figured hey, I'm been in the pool a ton and its only a 500 yard swim, no big deal right? WRONG! First off, the first time you swim in murky water its really kind of creepy. There's no straight line guiding your swim and the lack of vision can mess with your mind a bit. Also, if you don't have the correct goggles with the correct sun protection, you can catch some really bad glares off the water from the sun. Make sure you've swam a few times with your goggles in open water to make sure they're the correct fit and that they provide you with the proper glare protection as well. Definitely make sure that you're not trying out new eye protection on race day for the first time.
The other thing that really surprised me about open water swimming was how excited I felt once that starting gun sounded. I got such an adrenaline rush in my first race and in my first 500 yard swim that I simply forgot to exhale while I was swimming. I nearly made myself pass out during the swim portion from improper breathing. It got a little intense for me when I realized that I was getting light headed and my wetsuit started to get real tight. For a second, I seriously thought I was going to pass out. Not good news when you're still 75 yards from shore. Luckily for me, I was able to calm myself down a bit and struggle to get back to shore.
So if you're a first time triathlete, remember to get some good quality open water swim training in and for goodness sakes, remember to breathe!!!

It appears the Christmas spirit has not yet found a pair of area residents who are charged with beating a teenager after he slightly struck a car.
According to the Pennsylvania State Police, at around 9:30 p.m. on Friday, a 16-year-old male was driving his vehicle in the Wal-Mart parking lot and "slightly bumped" another vehicle owned by Richard Steven Chmelik, 52, of Lake Ariel.
According to the report, Chmelik, along with Jennifer Leigh Chmelik, 37, Waymart, both exited their vehicle and then "forcefully removed" the teen from his car.
At that point, police said both Jennifer and Richard Chmelik "decided to physically assault the" teenager by "punching him about his face and head."
Citations for disorderly conduct and harassment were filed in district court against both of the suspects.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Tuesday, Sep. 25, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- One person spoke in support of a proposed gun range, but everyone else aimed to shoot it down.
The Aiken Corporation was looking to sell a large building in the Willow Run Industrial Park in North Aiken to businessman Michael Kramer, who planned to build a public indoor shooting range.
Because of the property's zoning, he first needed the approval of the City of Aiken's Board of Zoning Appeals to build the range. On Tuesday night, he did not get that approval.
After about three hours of heated discussion, Vice-Chair Judy Turner asked for a motion. After a long pause, Turner asked again, and board member Jane Page Thompson finally spoke up and moved to deny the request to build a gun range at the location off Beaufort Street. Thompson said even though she supports a gun range and is a firm supporter of the 2nd Amendment, she says this range would affect the North Aiken community in adverse ways. She said it would possibly hamper the development of land around the industrial park. She said it's land that could someday see the development of more houses.
The board unanimously voted with Thompson. Member Nancy Dukes cited similar concerns as did Pat Paterniti.
The decision came after heated objections from people such as Rep. Bill Clyburn, Aiken County Councilman Willar Hightower and Aiken City Councilwoman Gail Diggs, among many others. Many of them said the largely African-American community needs a more positive business than a gun range.
"If this is the best the city can offer us business-wise, they can keep it," said Councilwoman Diggs, reading a comment from a friend who lives in the community near the proposed site.
There were also health and noise concerns, too.
The G.L. Brightharp & Sons Mortuary is located across the street from the proposed site, and the Brightharp family indicated that it was very concerned about the possibility of hearing gunshots during funeral services.
The board asked Kramer if the gun range could close during funeral services, but Kramer said that would not be possible. He says the walls would be thick enough to prevent neighboring properties from hearing gunshots in the first place.
Ultimately, the board didn't take that chance.
Kramer says that he'll try again with another location and told News 12 that the Board of Zoning Appeals hasn't seen the last of him.

CHICAGO -- The Boston Bruins were on the ice in the first period Saturday night, but they weren't exactly skating at the same frenetic, fantastic pace as the Chicago Blackhawks.
"It looked like they had more guys out there than we did," Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask said. "They were pouncing on every single puck in front of net, had a lot of chances. We definitely played pretty bad. But, you know, it was good that we were only down by one and regrouped after that."
Rask made 18 saves in the first period to keep Boston in the game. The Bruins slowed the pace and established the style they wanted to play in the second period before winning 2-1 in overtime in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final at United Center.
The Bruins tied the game on Chris Kelly's first goal of the Stanley Cup Playoffs late in the second and kept it that way into overtime, when they had several dangerous chances before Daniel Paille finally won it with a shot from the left side at 13:48.
Boston coach Claude Julien scratched together a new third line of Paille, Kelly and Tyler Seguin that provided the offense Boston needed. Rask made 33 saves, and by withstanding the opening 20-minute surge by the Blackhawks, the Bruins found a way to ship the best-of-7 series back to Boston tied 1-1.
Game 3 is Monday at TD Garden (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, RDS).
"We talked about how Tuukka gave us a chance by keeping us in it and we have to play much better in every area," Boston left wing Milan Lucic said. "Once we simplified our game and got our feet going, that's when things started happening for us. Hopefully we don't wait a period next game in order to wake up."
Down the hall in the home dressing room, the Blackhawks were trying to explain how they didn't grab a bigger lead in what was a dominating first period. They held a 19-4 edge in shots on goal and 30-5 lead in shot attempts. Patrick Sharp (six) and Marian Hossa (five) each had more shots on goal than the Bruins team. Boston's top-six forwards managed a combined one shot on goal.
Despite all that dominance, all Chicago had to show for its efforts after 20 minutes was a 1-0 lead on Sharp's ninth goal of the playoffs at 11:22.
"Maybe we left something out there," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "[We] had everything right in that first part of the game; had some good looks, as well. [We] did what we were looking to do. But, hey, it's a long game. You know, we got to be better than that."
The Blackhawks nearly had a second goal 70 seconds after Sharp scored, but Rask fell flat across the goal line and had the puck near his feet when referee Wes McCauley, who was standing behind the cage and looking through the top mesh, blew his whistle to stop the play.
Replays showed the puck did cross the goal line, but upon video review, the NHL's Situation Room ruled that McCauley had blown the play dead before Marian Hossa pushed Rask's pads and the puck across the goal line.
After the first period, the Hawks' scoring threats were few and far between.
"We just didn't continue to play the way we'd been playing," Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said. "We let them have the puck a little too often. We didn't move our feet. We were too easy to check."
Why? The answer depends on who you ask and what color jersey the responder wears. Neither side seemed too inclined to give the other team much credit for the dramatic change in how the game was being played.
The Bruins felt their physical edge helped them pick up the pace and slow down the Blackhawks' dangerous transition game.
"They definitely came out with a lot of speed in the first period and we wanted to change that," Paille said. "Playing physical is part of our game, where we've been successful. That's been huge for us. We started to pick up the pace when that happened. We have to stick with that."
The Blackhawks felt they were guilty of slowing down, trying to be too cute and too fancy instead of pushing the pace.
"It's not what they do, it's what we do, and I feel we stopped using our quickness, the quick passing game and challenging their D," Hossa said. "That's what we stopped doing."
Whatever the theory, the fact of the matter is the Bruins were able to tie the game on Kelly's goal with 5:02 left in the second period.
Seguin forced Sharp to turn over the puck behind the goal line and Paille was able to dance past Blackhawks defenseman Nick Leddy to put a wraparound attempt on Crawford, who had his paddle down to make the save. But the puck bounced off the paddle, slid through Patrick Kane's legs and went right to Kelly, who chipped it in from the slot for his first playoff goal since Game 1 of the 2012 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
"I think it's even more important to play the other parts of the game when you're not contributing offensively," Kelly said. "I think you need to pick up other aspects of your game to make them better in order to be a better all-around player. Everyone would love to score and score consistently.
"For whatever reason, I haven't. I try to stay positive. As long as the team's doing well, I know that's kind of a cliché, but that's kind of how our room is. On any given night, someone can step up. Paille showed that [Saturday night]."
Paille did it with help from Seguin and defenseman Adam McQuaid.
Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook rimmed the puck up the left-wing boards, but it got past left wing Brandon Bollig and McQuaid played it back down the wall to Seguin, who quickly moved it across the zone to a wide-open Paille. He took his time and fired a high, glove-side shot that went past Crawford and just inside the far post with 6:12 left in the overtime.
"I decided to pop out and [Seguin] saw me," Paille said. "I just tried to shoot it off as quick as I can with the 'D' coming at me. I felt good coming off, and I was glad to see it go in."
Relieved may be an even better word, especially considering the night was looking like a disaster in the first period.
"We've got to show up on time for these kind of games," Julien said. "It could have cost us [Saturday night]."

Profit from Stock Promotions
1) What is the Pre Promotion Stocks trading strategy?
We specialize in identifying upcoming stock promotion campaigns before they begin. The idea is to buy early and profit from the rise in share price that usually happens once a
stock promotion campaign begins.
The Pre Promotion Stocks trading strategy has an emphasis on OTCBB and pink sheet stocks trading under $1.
2) Do I really have to agree to a Non-disclosure agreement? Why?
Yes. In order to preserve the value of information taught to Pre Promotion Stocks members, you will be asked to agree to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) after joining.
The purpose of the NDA is to protect valuable information such as research tools and methods, stock promoter "sister" websites, new stock promotion campaigns or the contents identified in S.E.C. filings so that it remains confidential for members-only.
In a nutshell, our research is very valuable and we do not want it published on twitter, message boards or other chat rooms.
3) What are some typical trades?
Our most common trade is buying a penny stock (usually OTCBB) that has both unusual trading activity (abnormal volume + slow increase in price per share) AND
some connections to past stock promotions because in our opinion the likelihood that these stocks will soon be promoted is very high. Some examples:
(1) Bought ALZM on 3/11/11 @ $1.06 because of unusual trading activity and ties to several past stock promotions then sold it 1 day later for a 7.5% gain and watched it go 128% higher (sold way too soon).
(2) Bought TBBC on 5/10/11 @ $1.11 because of unusual trading activity and S.E.C. filings that disclosed +$1M allocated towards an "investor relations campaign" then sold it 2 weeks later for +27%.
(3) Bought LEXG on 3/24/11 @ $1.045 because of unusual trading activity and ties to several past stock promotions then sold it intraday for +7.3% and watched it go 850% higher (sold way too soon again)!
Occasionally we'll buy an actively promoted stock but only if a very big stock promotion group is pumping it AND we're able to buy immediately when the campaign starts. Some examples:
(4) Bought MILV on 10/26/2011 @ $0.055 then sold some intraday and the rest 1 week later for +27%.
(5) Bought ABOT on 12/16/2011 @ $0.0225 then sold it 3 days later for +101%.
4) Aren't penny stocks dangerous?
Penny stocks are one of the riskiest asset classes to trade or invest in. However, we're not blindly throwing darts at random stocks because of some "big news" or a pie-in-the-sky business plan.
Some of the most predictable chart patterns in the world are a result of stock manipulation and stock promotion and we seek to profit from the hoards of investors that blindly follow the recommendations of penny stock newsletters by buying ahead of them.
5) Which plan should I choose?
If you're serious about learning how the stock promotion industry works and how to spot ideal pre promotion trading opportunities on your own, I recommend going with
the "Premium" plan. In addition to chat room access, daily watchlists and real-time trading alerts, you will learn some very valuable information via video lessons such as:
-Tricks on how to be among the very first traders to buy confirmed PennyPic/AwesomePennyStocks promotions such as MILV, AMWI and ABOT.
-How to locate all of the biggest stock promoter's "sister sites" and the most effective way to follow them all via GMail.
-Ways to become an expert "stock sleuth" on the internet so you can connect all the dots and figure out what promoters are involved in a particular stock and what their past deals were.
Micro-cap stocks move primarily on paid promotion and awareness campaigns and this service gets you in BEFORE the big hype starts. Barboli
Very approachable and very willing to answer any questions you might have via chat or email. XiATH
Good service. Easy to understand data. Jthurstenson
I am really glad I joined. Harrisonjward
Best learning experience into the shady world of stock promo. Jhoirup
Great alerts, knowledgeable research, and integrity. Downtowndental
An excellent weapon in your arsenal! TMcNasty
I was looking for more buy low sell high than into shorting so I chose Pre Promotion. Know
Does an amazing job not only screening stocks, but conducting in depth research into stocks that appear to have signs of pre-promotion. Stahleteam
Really helps you cut through all the clutter out there! Pamod1
Very good at finding promotions before everyone else catches on. Ggtopspin
Overall I would highly recommend. Demersal

Often the aim of treatment of a running injury is to decrease the symptoms with medication and palliative therapeutic intervention. A brief internet search for treatment of running injuries will reveal a plethora of options. These include heat/cold modalities, electrotherapeutic modalities, ultrasound modalities, stretching and strengthening exercises, exercise equipment, massage, yoga, palliates, food supplements, magnets, medications, certain shoes, shoe inserts, active stretching and many more. However, if improper mechanics are one of the causes of the running injury, once the patient returns to running, the problem is likely to reoccur.
While athletes and health care professionals use a variety of strategies to address abnormal mechanics that can include strengthening and stretching exercises as well as equipment changes (shoes, orthotics, braces and tape), it needs to be recognized that this is just the first step. Such interventions may be necessary, but this is seldom sufficient. The next step is to figure out how to utilize improved mechanics, improved alignment and muscle balance (strength and flexibility) when running. The final step is to run with better form/technique/style.
A runner's form, technique and style can have a powerful influence on the development of an injury and/or the treatment of an injury. This belief has good face validity, but a scientist needs to ask what is the evidence supporting this belief. In fact some coaches have historically believed that running form/technique/style is relatively automatic and unchangeable. Therefore we must ask if there is any evidence that running technique/form/style contributes to injuries. Is there any evidence that, if an individual can change their running technique/form/style that the changes will alleviate a running injury?
Recent evidence from several research centers has shown that specific injuries are related to specific gait mechanics (Novacheck TF 1988, Williams TM 2006). Irene Davis has shown that individuals with stress fractures in their lower leg tend to land harder when each foot hits the ground (Davis, I 2006). If these faulty gait mechanics can be identified and feedback provided to the person, perhaps the individual can consciously modify the way they walk/run thereby alleviating the injury.
Researchers at the University of Delaware provided injured runners with real time visual feedback of shock and impact forces in the lower leg with accelerometers, and the runners were able to decrease the shock and impact by 25% to 50%, by consciously changing their gait pattern, during one treatment session (Crowell H 2005). Follow up studies demonstrated lower extremity loading was reduced with real time visual feedback of shock and impact forces and that these changes were maintained at one month follow up (Davis, I 2007). An accelerometer device which measures shock was connected to a TV monitor displayed in real time illustrated how hard the individual was striking the ground. The runners were instructed to change how hard they struck the ground, and the immediate feedback helped the runner determine if his/her strategy was correct.
A similar study was conducted with runners suffering chronic knee pain. They were given visual feedback of the alignment and movement of their hips, knees and lower legs. Individuals with knee pain frequently the thigh rotates inward, the knees knock and feet pronate (McClay I 1999 - Davis I 2007). Again TV monitors provided feedback to the injured runners regarding whether their thighs were rotating inward, their knees were knocking or their feet were pronating. They were encouraged to consciously not let their thighs rotate inward, their knees to knock or their feet to pronate. By keeping their knees apart, not letting them collapse inward, they soon were able to eliminate the knee pain. They eliminated their excessive pronation without changing shoes without using shoe inserts or orthotics. The runners in this study were followed up one month later and it was found that they had retained the lessons on the improvements that they had learned.
The only intervention in these preliminary studies was gait re-training and relative rest from running. No stretching or strengthening exercises and no orthotics or other modalities were used. Changing how an individual ran, alleviated the injury and allowed the runners to return to running.
These preliminary investigations used a very specific protocol in terms of visual and auditory feedback, and also the frequency of training sessions. More investigation is needed to determine what type of feedback and what amount of feedback results in the most efficient learning of a more ideal gait pattern. Irene Davis, the lead investigator in these studies, has said most athletes do not have access to the kind of feedback equipment used in these studies, but that the same techniques can be used without the equipment. Individuals with knee pain can do well to run on treadmill facing a mirror, to get feedback about the alignment of the knees. There should be a space between the knees; the knees should not kiss each other when running. To determine if you hit the ground too hard, listen to footsteps and try to soften the foot strike. She also said that enlisting the help of a physical therapist, who is trained in gait analysis and gait re-training, is beneficial.
I have submitted a case series of 30 runners with shin pain to a peer reviewed journal. Sixty percent of those runners of the runners the only intervention was a brief period of relative rest, and gait re-training to learn to shorten their stride and avoid striking the ground with the heel first. Forty percent of the runners used shoe inserts, shoe adjustments and exercise in addition to gait re-training. All 30 runners were able to return to symptom free running.
Unfortunately, there is a bit of disconnect between many health care professionals belief and understanding of running injuries and their evaluation and treatment of running injuries. I think most healthcare professionals would agree how a runner runs has a great deal to do with the development of a running injury. If a runner is running with poor form or technique, it is likely they will get injured. When evaluating an injured runner, most healthcare professionals do not observe the injured runner as they run. The standard examination includes measuring the flexibility (range of motion), strength, skeletal alignment and wear of the shoes, but does not include observing the runner as they run. If the healthcare professional does not look at how the injured runner runs, it is highly unlikely they will include gait re-training as part of the intervention.
By analyzing a runner's form/technique/style and abnormal mechanics, movements can be identified, and this can be a very powerful diagnostic tool and making it a very powerful intervention. This approach requires the injured runner to have an appreciation of what ideal or good running form should look like, and what his/her running form looks/sounds like. Even the most experienced coaches and sports medicine experts will agree that analyzing someone's gait is enhanced tremendously if slow motion video is available. Slow motion video enhances the clarity and accuracy of the analysis.
The picture above was obtained from a video recording. The photo on the left demonstrates abnormalities of the trunk leaning towards the left, a twisting of the spine, and excessive outward bowing of the left knee. The photo on the right demonstrates a more normal alignment and movement. In this example, the traditional treatment might include strengthening exercises, a knee brace and medication. But after traditional treatment, the final step is to re-learn how to run with symmetry of movement by using gait re-training.
If you are injured and have a suspicion that faulty running technique may be contributing to the injury get someone to analyze your running form/technique/style. If are starting to run again after you have been injured, strive to run with symmetry and good form/style/technique.

'Arrow,' Season 1, Episode 12, 'Vertigo': TV Recap
Last week there was a bit of confusion over a tweet by the star of "Arrow," Stephen Amell. Via twitter, he told fans to be on the lookout for a big reveal during the episode – a reveal that would not happen at the end in some cliffhanger-like situation. Well, we all watched and no one saw anything. I tried to get an interview with Amell to find out what we had all missed, but he is too busy on the show to do interviews right now. He did tell me via a twitter direct message that: "It'll become clear eventually… You weren't alone… Didn't notice anyone catch it… Weird." Hmmm.
Arrow gets a fun guest star tonight. It is Seth Gabel, who I enjoyed watching on "Nip/Tuck" and "Fringe." He is also known in Hollywood for being married to Bryce Dallas Howard. He is playing a villain known as The Count, based on the DC comic character Count Vertigo. In the comics, Vertigo was tough to fight because he had the ability to make his opponents feel dizzy and lose balance. If you are not a comic book fan, this probably sounds funny and lame, but not every comic book character can have powers like Superman.
Last week on the show, Thea (the sister of Oliver Queen/Arrow) was arrested after she was caught driving while under the influence of a new designer drug called Vertigo. We still don't know what is going on with Oliver's step-father, Walter, who was kidnapped by Malcolm Merlyn in order to keep Oliver's mother, Moira, from talking about the criminal cabal that Merlyn runs in Starling City. Also, the flashbacks to Oliver's 5 years stranded on an island revealed that Oliver's only friend there, Yao Fei, was actually working for the island bad guy, Edward Fryers, all along.
Ok, are you caught up now? Time for the 12th episode of "Arrow"…
We begin with a bad guy running down an alley at night, Arrow is in hot pursuit. Our hero wants to know about the Vertigo drug and this guy is a dealer. When starting down the business end of an arrow, the bad guy reveals that he gets his supply of the drug from someone named The Count.
Oliver's sister, Thea, is in court because of her possession of Vertigo. Her lawyer says he has reached a plea agreement with the prosecutor. The judge rejects the plea. He says that Thea is the face of Vertigo to the city and he wants to make an example of her. Plea deal rejected, Thea is going to trial.
We flash back to the island, five years ago. Oliver is in a cage, captured by Edward's men. Xao-Fei is there. Oliver is angry that Xao-Fei betrayed him. He says, "I came back for you!" Xao-Fei just walks away.
Back in the present, Oliver goes to the police to find out about their investigation into Vertigo. He runs into McKenna Hall, an attractive woman who is an old friend of his. She's now a cop. She tells him that they have known about "The Count" for a while, but don't know much more than his name.
It is time to meet, The Count! The drug dealer that Arrow cornered earlier is being held by The Count's men. The Count is mad that the dealer said anything to Arrow. The Count injects pure Vertigo into the dealer's neck. It causes excruciating pain that will last for a few days and then kill the dealer. The Count gives him a gun with "one bullet left." The Count says he can either use the bullet to get revenge by killing The Count or end his pain by killing himself. The dealer chooses death over the pain.
Tommy and Laurel are hanging out. Laurel is reading about Thea's case. Oliver arrives to talk to Laurel. He wants Laurel to get her father, police detective Lance, to see if he can influence the judge and help his sister.
Laurel talks to her father about Thea. He hates the Queen family and blames them for the death of his younger daughter. But, Laurel is very convincing. He agrees to try to help.
Oliver and Digg pay a visit to the local Russian mafia, who are friends with Oliver. Oliver says he wants to get into the "pharmaceutical business" and wants some Vertigo. The Russian agrees to contact The Count on Oliver's behalf… but only if Oliver kills a mafia henchman who messed up, as a way of proving Oliver's ruthlessness. Digg seems concerned, but Oliver strangles the man without any hesitation. The Russians will set up the meeting.
Time to go back to the island. Xao-Fei takes Oliver out of his cage and leads Oliver over to a place where all the bad guys are in a circle, watching the masked bad guy, Deathstroke, fight someone. It is not much of a match. Deathstroke kills the man. Edward, the leader of the island bad guys asks if anyone else wants to fight and Xao-Fei pushes Oliver forward. Edward wants Xao-Fei to prove himself by taking on Oliver.
In the present, Oliver and Digg are walking away with the dead Russian henchman over Oliver's shoulder. Digg is stunned that Olvier killed the man. Oliver dumps the man in the trunk of their car and touches the man under on the neck. The man suddenly comes back to life. "Whoa! You gonna teach me that trick one day?" asks Digg. Oliver knocks the henchman out and closes the trunk. "No," he says to Digg with a smile.
Back at the Queen family mansion, Laurel tells Thea that Det. Lance got the judge to back off. The judge has agreed to give Thea 500 hours of community service. Thea also must submit to the supervision of a court-appointed guardian. Laurel is to be the guardian and Thea rejects that. Thea says she wants to go to jail because she wants to punish her mother for being a liar and cheating on her father. Oliver tells Thea that their father was actually the cheat.
Time for Oliver's meeting with The Count. Everything is going fine until the police show up. Oliver chases after The Count, who injects him with 2 vials of Vertigo and gets away. Digg grabs Oliver, who is hallucinating badly, and takes him away.
On the island in the past, Xao-Fei is kicking Oliver's butt. He gets Oliver in a headlock, similar to the one Oliver used to pretend to kill the Russian henchman.
Digg uses some herbal medicine to help Oliver come down from his Vertigo high. At the Queen mansion, Det. Lance and Det. Hall arrive to question Oliver. They say he was seen at the attempted drug deal last night. He tells them he was there trying to get info that could help them to catch The Count. The police leave and it gives Thea a chance to apologies to her mother for being so angry. Thea will take the deal and do community service at Laurel's law firm. As Oliver walks away, he gets another Vertigo spell and passes out.
Oliver has another island flashback. Edward watches as Xao-Fei takes Oliver's lifeless body and throws it into a nearby river.
Oliver gets the beautiful Felicity Smoak to do an analysis on the Vertigo left over from The Count's attack. Water analysis tells them where the Vertigo is being produced. Oliver, who is still suffering from dizzy spells, is going to check it out. Digg says that is a bad idea. The dizzy spells mean Arrow cannot use his bow. Oliver is going to go anyway.
We see Arrow using hand-to-hand combat to take out several of The Count's henchmen. The police are also on the scene. Arrow grabs The Count and injects him with 2 vials full of Vertigo. Det. Lance and the police burst in and stop Arrow from killing The Count, but Arrow escapes.
At a nearby hospital, The Count is strapped down to a gurney. A doctor tells Det. Lance that she has never seen someone OD on this much Vertigo. She doesn't know what it will do to him. We see The Count being taken away in convulsions.
We get one more flashback to the island. Oliver wakes up in the water. He is, of course, not dead. He discovers that Xao-Fei gave him a map to a place that will be safe from Edward's bad guys. The map says, "survive" in Chinese. Xao-Fei is still a good guy!
Felicity Smoak goes to visit Oliver. She says she trusts him and shows him something she got from Walter. It is a book of names, identical to the one Oliver has that lists all the bad guys in Merlyn's cabal. She tells Oliver that Walter got it from Oliver's mother.
And with that, the episode is over!
I thought this was a pretty decent episode. I am sure they are setting up The Count to gain the abilities of Count Vertigo in the comics. I still want to see more of the Arrow versus the Dark Archer/Merlyn, but that will have to wait for a little while longer. In the meantime, it is clear that Oliver is going to start investigating his mother's ties to Merlyn's group.
And now it is your turn to talk about the episode. Leave your thoughts in the comment section and we can chat about it. The more comments, the merrier! I'll see you there!

DENVER -- The Warriors did what they wanted to do: slow down the NBA's best transition team. The problem with that strategy was that it put backup guard Andre Miller in play.
The Warriors were on the verge of winning Game 1, despite a subpar performance from Stephen Curry and an injury to David Lee. But Miller broke their hearts with a driving layup with 1.2 seconds left, handing Golden State a 97-95 defeat Saturday and souring an otherwise gutsy performance.
"We're not into moral victories," Warriors guard Jarrett Jack said. "In a simple phrase, we played good enough to lose."
The Warriors contained speedy Denver point guard Ty Lawson and silenced forward Andre Iguodala, holding the Nuggets to 11 points below their season average. But they couldn't come up with an answer for Miller. He scored 18 of Denver's 26 fourth-quarter points and finished with a game-high 28, taking advantage of the one-on-one defense he faced.
With 14.5 seconds left, Warriors coach Mark Jackson called on 6-foot-7 rookie forward Draymond Green to play clutch defense. But Miller slithered to his left past Green and avoided shot-blocking center Andrew Bogut by scooping it off the glass on the right side.
"As I saw him start coming left, I was about to step up," Bogut said. "Then he Euro-stepped and just went under to the other side of the basket. ... Smart play by him. He took me out of the play."
It was a dramatic end and a riveting start to a series most expect to be highly entertaining. The Warriors, even with the loss, head into Game 2 on Tuesday with plenty reasons to be confident.
"I thought we did some things very well," Jackson said. "What I told my team was that nobody came in here thinking that we were going to sweep the Denver Nuggets. You have to win four games to advance, and you can't act like it's over. So take the blow and be ready to make adjustments and respond."
Certainly one of the adjustments will involve getting Curry going. The Nuggets went all out to keep him from hurting them.
They started the game with Lawson on Curry. And every time Curry even thought about making a move, help was ready. Sometimes, Denver sent Wilson Chandler or Iguodala to trap Curry well beyond the 3-point line.
At first Curry invited the double team and passed to the open man. As a result, he had eight assists in the first half and took only two shots. But it seemed as if he began to press after going stretches without shots.
He missed his first nine shots and didn't score until hitting a 3-pointer with 1:20 left in the second quarter.
"I had good looks," said Curry, who finished with 19 points on 20 shots. "I think I might have forced one shot when I rushed it. But for the most part, I felt good about every shot."
In the meantime, guard Klay Thompson carried the Warriors, scoring 13 of his 22 points in the second quarter. The defense did the rest.
Thompson made four consecutive jumpers, the last one putting the Warriors ahead 45-37 with just under three minutes left in the first half. When Curry made his first basket, the Warriors led 48-39.
The Warriors looked to be in trouble after Denver went on a 13-2 run to close the third quarter, taking a 71-64 lead. Then early in the fourth, the Warriors lost Lee for the rest of the game after he crashed to the court on a drive to the basket, injuring his right hip.
But the Warriors mounted one of two fourth-quarter rallies. They got three baskets from forward Carl Landry during a 12-4 run that cut Denver's lead to 78-77. The score was tied at 81 before the Warriors hit a cold spell.
They went 3 minutes, 22 seconds without a point. During that stretch, Miller took over. He scored six of the Nuggets' next eight points as Denver built an 89-81 lead. The Warriors answered again with a 7-2 run, capped by Bogut's second straight layup to cut the deficit to 91-88 with 2:14 left.
The Warriors tied the score when Curry drilled a clutch 3-pointer from the left corner with 14.5 seconds left. They were one stop from overtime, but Miller would not be stopped.
"It's tough, especially when you feel like you deserved to win the game," Thompson said. "But the great thing is this is a long series. We know we can compete with this team every night. We know we can win against this team every night. We did a lot of good things, but we've got to clean up a lot of things."

Hey ... it's free. But I still paid for Transmit because Cyberduck always had some issues. And the last thing I need is to drop a 100MB+ file or upload to my work server, leave, and have the file not be uploaded due to Cyberduck crashing - and that is the main reason I paid for Transmit... reliability.
Got this a long while ago and have used it since. Sometimes crashes weirdly, but doesn't bother me too much. Simple interface and handles SFTP.
i've never had a problem with this. it has worked like a charm and makes my life so much easier. and it's FREE! really amazing and one of my absolute favorites.
Used this a while before I bought transmit. It was terrible, hang up and left oddments in the memory. No thanks.

SAN JOSE -- Cecilia Maldonado escaped a raging apartment fire with her life -- and a broken heart.
Though spared by the inferno at a West San Jose apartment complex, Maldonado lost her parents and her 4-year-old daughter, Kyra.
"My parents, my baby," the young woman cried on Bridgeport Court, a street lined with two-story apartments filled with working-class residents. She couldn't remember how she managed to escape a blaze so severe it forced 56 residents from their homes.
"I don't know, I don't know," she said. "I just woke up, and the room was on fire."
Two friends held the sobbing Maldonado by the arms and helped her walk to another apartment in a separate building where she could rest. Two of her brothers, Bulmaro Jr. and Angel Maldonado, arrived later to begin the painful planning of funerals for their parents, Bulmaro and Mariana Maldonado, and their niece.
A relative in the apartment, Juan Carlos Maldonado, 23, was sent to the intensive care unit of an area hospital, according to Vanessa Pulido, a cousin.
The Maldonado brothers said their father, originally from Michoacan state in Mexico, was a landscaper at a nearby golf course and had lived at the apartment complex for about 20 years. Mariana Maldonado was a homemaker. Neighbors described the family as quiet and cordial.
The fire destroyed the family's apartment and damaged one below, and a few more in the same building had smoke damage and lost electrical power. Most of the 56 displaced residents are expected to return after a few days, authorities said.
Useless extinguisher
Angel Maldonado, 18, said he was staying with friends in another apartment in the same modest-sized complex when the fire broke out about 11 p.m. After running to his parents' apartment on the second floor, he said he picked up a nearly empty fire extinguisher that had apparently been tossed outside, but it was useless against the blaze.
View Dec. 29 fire in a larger map
"Once I got over there -- the flames!" he said as he stood and wept on the street watching a crew board up the apartment. "The fire was already too big."
Several residents called 911 after spilling out of their apartments.
"The fire sounded like thunder," said Felix Bracamontes, 78, who lived in the same building. His 11-year-old grandson, Rodrigo Vargas, was staying overnight after a trip to Christmas in the Park in downtown San Jose.
"I just heard bottles and glass breaking and the girls screaming," Rodrigo said.
Badly damaged
A San Jose police officer responded first and ran up to the apartment, but he was too late to save anyone inside, according to Sgt. Jason Dwyer. Firefighters attacked the blaze and kept it from spreading to other apartments, knocking it down shortly after midnight.
The police officer who arrived first and another person were taken to area hospitals after suffering smoke inhalation, said San Jose fire Capt. Mary Gutierrez.
The apartment was so badly damaged that a member of the cleanup crew could not tell how many bedrooms it had. Some walls had been burned away. All morning long, displaced residents of nearby apartments came by for clothing to take back to the motel rooms rented for them by the American Red Cross.
Gutierrez said fire investigators had not determined the cause of the fire.
"It's not an easy investigation," she said. "It's going to be a long investigation."

Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum said it was great to be in Meridian on Sunday, following his win in Kansas on Saturday. He told Newscenter 11 he hopes that will help him in the twin states on Tuesday.
"As I said, I know the values of the people in Mississippi are in line with us and they just need to listen to their hearts," Santorum said. "And go out there and vote for the person that best represents their values. That's the best chance of having your values reflected in Washington."
Santorum's opponent Newt Gingrich was in the Queen City on Friday to speak to supporters at the MSU Riley Center. Gingrich told us he feels on the best ways to help Americans financially is to lower gas prices. Santorum agrees.
"This is vitally important that we stop depending disproportionately on areas of the world where we're funding our enemies by having these higher prices and I've got plans to open up more areas of exploration for oil and gas."
Then there is unemployment, something of great concern in East Mississippi and West Alabama. Santorum points to manufacturing and eliminating the corporate manufacturers tax as a solution.
"That would bring manufacturing jobs back to this country," he said. "Those are the kind of jobs. I just left Tupelo and they have a Toyota plant up there. Mississippi can compete with anybody in the world when it comes to manufacturing. "
Voters head to the polls in Mississippi and Alabama on Tuesday.

"Today is a day that should have happened in the 1980s, it should have happened in the 1990s, it should have happened in the 2000s," Governor Snyder said Thursday.
But the massive spending cuts Governor Snyder is proposing didn't happen back then, which makes Thursday's budget announcement difficult for some to swallow.
"This will most certainly mean fewer public safety officers on the road, this will mean fewer ambulances out there, it will mean less salt for the roads," Summer Minnick of the Michigan Municipal League said.
Snyder proposed cutting revenue sharing by $100 million, which at least one state lawmaker said at the presentation would at this time cripple local governments.
"When people call 911, they call us, they don't call the state, these are serious issues and we will do our best to comply with Snyder's new rules to get the most revenue sharing money we can," Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero said.
K-12 education was slashed by $470 per pupil, while tax breaks on pensions were eliminated. Some say that adversely affects Michigan's aging population.
"It's a little disingenuous to say you care about our children and our future when you're putting a burden on their backs," Frank Houston of Better Michigan Future said. "Our idea of shared sacrifice is not cutting big business on the backs of seniors and the working poor."
State workers are also none too pleased. Snyder plans to negotiate with the unions this year for $180 million in concessions.
"We've given so much so far," Rachel Siemen, a DHS worker, said. "The legislature time and time again has tried to balance the budget on our backs, they need to look at the top, not the bottom."
You can't get much higher than Snyder himself, who says he'll join in the shared sacrifice by dropping his salary this year down to $1.
Snyder knew his proposals wouldn't be popular, but it's time to make the tough decisions, he said, to finally get spending in line with revenue, and start planning for the future.
Some Republicans News Ten spoke with after the presentation, say they'll sit down and take a close look at everything, but they appreciate that someone is making the tough choices to deal with the structural deficit.
The Democrats are saying they like the fact that Snyder is planning for the future and beginning to pay down the state's debt, but they can not get behind the elimination of the EITC, or and the tax on seniors pensions.
Discussions now begin, Snyder would like the budget completed by May 31st.

How to Embellish Shoes by Frolicking Frocks
The ever lively Natalie from Britex Fabrics and the costuming blog Frolicking Frocks, presents a wee tutorial on how to embellish shoes with paint and other crafty supplies. This is the American Duchess "Pemberley" shoe, which is the perfect accessory for ladies' costumes of the 1790s through 1810. Natalie used Britex Fabrics' imported petersham grosgrain ribbon and imported 30wt silk thread in the process of gussying up her dancing shoes. She plans on wearing these striped numbers to the upcoming Jane Austen Ball; we predict exuberant dancing and modest carousing.
