It was so schmaltzy, you know it just had to pop up somewhere along the line - and leave it to the gals at the Breckenridge Festival of Film to breath new life into (sing it with me, now):
Love, exciting and new; Come Aboard. We're expecting you.
That's right. "The Love Boat" has sailed into the high elevations of Colorado, but it's hit some rough weather, with its latest episode of "Murder on the High Seas."
Returning local co-producers Justin Schlosberg and Carisa Peterson have written a murder mystery Peterson describes as "a mad mishmash of familial archetypes you love to hate, and a raucous revisit and retooling of newsmakers, all of which come on board for Breckenridge's latest craze - a cruise down the Blue."
This year's cast includes Diane Trausch, Albert Stowell, Al Bacher, Bonnie Smith, Bernadette Foley, Bryan Etkie, Marty Ferris and Dave Levinson.
"We have some very talented locals, whose strength of talent is matched only by their strength of character, so boy, do we have some characters," Peterson said. "Many of our faces will be familiar, particularly if you've strolled Real Estate Row - also known as Main Street, Breckenridge. That's not to say the other local industries represented in our wonderful cast won't be bringing their own talents and flair for the absurd."
The evening begins with a cocktail and appetizer hour as cast members mingle with guests, dropping clues until the performance takes place.
The four-course dinner consists of "cruise-ship" cuisine, including ceviche and whole-pineapple with fruit skewers; tomato basil and coconut leek soup; chicken-curry and cilantro-pesto salad; Cuban pulled pork sandwiches; pasta with courgette sauce and spinach balls; baked tilapia with fresh ginger; and a banana and chocolate foam dessert.
The top prize is a one-night getaway in one of ResortQuest's luxury properties, for the closest guess of Who Dunnit. Guests are encouraged to wear their best cruise attire.
"Be sure to bring your all-weather survival gear for this campy trip," Peterson said.
What: 'The Love Boat - Murder on the High Seas'
When: 6 p.m. Saturday
Where: The Lodge and Spa at Breckenridge, 112 Overlook Drive, Breckenridge
Tickets: $60 or table of eight for $400
Purchase: www.breckfilmfest.com or (970) 453-6200 (tickets will not be sold at the door)

Students are expected to satisfy the following requirements to maintain enrollment in The Honors College:
The transition from high school to college is especially challenging during the first year. As students maintain a full course load, satisfy their service hours requirements, and take on leadership roles on campus or the community, you may see less of them at home. They will be inspired to do their very best and will want to invest time into their studies and other commitments. Although we encourage them to have a balanced life their academics will take priority. We invite you to be supportive as they learn to manage all of these responsibilities.
Parents of Honors College graduates have shared the following effective ways to partner with Honors College students:
The state prohibits disclosure of student performance. If you have questions about your child's progress in The Honors College, please discuss this with him/her.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. Learn more about FERPA.

October 26, 2005
For many job seekers, it was a chance to rebuild their lives. Hundreds turned out Wednesday for a job fair at the Aiken Mall. As News 12 reports, after thousands of recent lay-offs in Aiken County, Wednesday was a second chance.
The usually quiet Aiken Mall is packed. Every bench is filled with people shopping for a job.
"I've seen a lot of hopeful, a lot of hopeful people here," said Jacqueline Wise.
Jacqueline Wise is hoping to meet her match. She was laid off with 1,000 others at Electrolux in Orangeburg.
"It feels very depressing, especially when you've been laid off without any reason," Wise said.
That's the feeling of so many in Aiken County. In the last few months, the Savannah River Site cut 2,000 jobs, Avondale Mills cut 350, SKF cut 250 and Components Manufacturing cut another 350. That's almost 3,000 people out of a job.
Tom Rippon with Urban Outfitters in Trenton says the skills people gain at places like the Savannah River Site are a plus.
"Some of the people are just great. You can tell by talking to them that they'd just be great in the long term. They'd be a great fit for our company," Rippon said.
With all the recent lay-offs, many of the job seekers here today are looking for more security and some of the companies say they can provide it.
With 50 years of history and a growing business, the Waffle House offers people stability.
"Waffle House has stepped in to let people know we have never had to lay off and we're always looking for bright, energetic managers," said Sherry Smith.
And words like those give Jacqueline a new attitude.
"Happy, especially with the holidays around the corner," Wise said.
This job fair was organized by Aiken County's One Stop, a place where the unemployed can go to find a job. They hope to make this an annual event. If you missed Wednesday's event, you can go to One Stop on weekdays from 8:30am-5pm. It's on Richland Avenue in Aiken.

Trista Rehn charmed 26 million viewers when she and Ryan Sutter wed in 2003 in one of the most widely viewed reality-TV episodes in history. The event capped her stint on The Bachelor and as the first star of The Bachelorette. This year, she is back in the limelight with her first book, "Happily Ever After: The Life-Changing Power of a Grateful Heart."
Sutter began by writing a children's book for her two young kids, Maxwell and Blakesley, but input from the publishing world changed her idea entirely. Instead, she decided to share the strongest guiding principal of her life with the world.
"Gratitude has always been a force that has kept me grounded in the high times and lifted me up in the low times," she said.
Her way of saying thanks
The memoir covers Sutter's childhood and early adulthood, as well her experiences on reality TV, but it's also about "family, friends, strangers and experts. It touches on lots of interesting research studies on how embracing a grateful heart can truly make your life happier," Sutter said.
Composing the book was a welcomed challenge for Sutter, whose role as a wife and mother of two didn't leave much room for writing. But the support she received from friends and family during this time exemplifies why she loves living in the Vail Valley.
"I can't imagine a community being more supportive," she said. "What I love most (about Vail) is the close-knit connection we have with those in our community."
By doing several events in the Vail Valley, she hopes to give back to the people who welcomed her 10 years ago. Both Perch in Vail Village and The Bookworm of Edwards are hosting Sutter for book signings.
"I actually spent a lot of time writing the book at Bookworm and to have their support means the world," she said. "Laurie, the owner of Perch, is also a great supporter and to have everyone rooting for me and wanting to help me celebrate makes me love living here even more."
A true local
The casual lifestyle of the valley appealed to the couple after a quick rise to stardom. And while her husband resumed his work at the Vail Fire Department, Sutter found her way, too.
"I'm sure people (here) had similar perceptions of me after the show and the wedding that many outside of Vail had, but hopefully after calling the valley home for 10 years, they know that I am just a Midwestern mommy at heart and truly love my new mountain home," she said.
The couple love their life here so much that they renewed their vows earlier this month in Beaver Creek. Soon after, though, chaos resumed with added vigor. Sutter's holiday season is busy, with a nation-wide tour, including appearances on Good Morning America, Fox and Friends and The View.
"It should be an exciting few weeks," said Lissa Warren, vice president and senior director of publicity at De Capo Press.
With Sutter criss-crossing the country from Vail to Los Angeles to New York to Denver, the publisher is hopeful for strong holiday sales.
This book's themes encourage readers to stay positive in the holiday frenzy. "Happily Ever After" has tips entitled "Happily Ever Actions" that show people how to practice gratitude.
One of the ways Sutter will practice staying grateful during this season is spending a lot of time with her family. In true Midwest fashion, her favorite tradition is baking cookies and hosting decorating contests.
"We even Facetime with our family in Germany and in the Midwest who decorate their own cookies and weigh in on who should win," she said.
Leigh Horton is the journalism intern at The Bookworm of Edwards and a senior at the Colorado School of Mines.

You hear a crack, BOOM!. The entire room feels as if it was hit with a sledgehammer. Vertigo sets in, you fall back luckily against the wall you were frantically searching for moments ago. The room shakes again, then again, you huddle on the floor, head in between your knees. You try to scream but nothing comes out. You try again, and again, nothing. Then, it is as if someone heard your pleas for this nightmare to end. The noises abruptly end. The seering pain in your head has vanished without a trace. Light filters in through windows you had no idea were there. thick, golden rays of light illuminate the walls, moving across the floor filling the room with the very light you begged for. Dark mahogany floors reflect the life giving light all over the room. As the last tears you had to shed rest on your eye lashes like a child afraid to jump off the dock you feel this overwhelming feeling in your chest. This warmth starting dead center expands outward, downward and up through your neck. You barely even realized that you are standing again. It feels as if you blinked and you are stepping out of a doorway, you never knew existed, into a world filled with colors so bright the world in front of you looks like something that has been assembled.
This warmth has consumed your entire body now, and you feel this draw towards the sun. This obsession with letting this warmth inside of you out. Release. This draw has your legs moving faster, as you didn't even realize you were walking, now running. You are sprinting through a green field. The sun on the horizon is calling you. Smiling at you as you make your way towards her. You are moving so fast you feel as if you're rotating the earth with hamster power. The wind you're running into has no friction. In fact, you can feel as if it is rallying behind you, propelling you towards your goal. The sun. The grass you are running through feels like a bouncy play gym. You feel as if you run any faster you may bounce off the earth. The wind pushes you, harder and harder until you notice your legs are moving but you have left the earth. There is no panic, only freedom. Your legs don't stop moving as you climb higher and higher, with no fear you lunge upwards and feel the force of the winds behind you guide you towards the sun just a little more. The sun gets brighter and brighter until all you can see is light. The yellow glare quickly turns to a golden hue, then a blinding white light. You start to lose sensation in your toes. Then your legs. Your hands are next to go and by the time you realize you are losing your arms too, you can't feel anything below the waist. You have lost any real sense of position, and any real sense of where you are. Speckled glitters poke through this binding white light helping you gain some perspective and body awareness. These glittery specks flash more intensly as if you are traveling through time and space. Complete calm washes over you as this glitter has begun moving so fast beams are fighting through the light, surrounding what you believe to still be your body when in an instant it all ends. Everything goes black. You have this intense feeling of falling. Panic has set in again. You are falling. The earths colors begin to fade into your vision. Before you can grasp what is exactly happening there is a full, colorful but muted, earth far below you coming faster and faster into your view. There is a moment where you can visualize your very own death. But wait, can one die twice? As this thought finishes moving through your head all you can see is that lush green field come crashing into you. Silence. Darkness. Nothing. There is no light. No sound. No pain. No peace. There is only nothing.

Two weeks ago, Chef Vinita Jacinto began to open up our minds to the flavor possibilities of tea recipes. Her first dish, Earl Grey Rice Pudding, got a lot of attention and rightly so. It was simple to make and tremendously flavorful. This week she's offering up another simple, compelling fall dish: African Nectar Quinoa.
Chef Jacinto introduces her latest recipe:
"Quinoa is an incredible addition to any pantry. It is very nutritious, versatile, and excellent for those trying to eat a more plant based diet. I love this salad because it is so easy, and you can create it to the flavor profile of your choice (see notes below). The African Nectar highlights the earthiness and nuttiness of the red quinoa."

About Quinoa
Quinoa (pronounced: KEEN-wah) is a food that has been cultivated in the Andes since at least 3000 BCE. Millions of native inhabitants have revered it as sacred and referred to this staple food as the "mother grain." But quinoa is the seed of the Chenopodium or Goosefoot plant and technically not a grain. It contains more high quality protein than any grain and is gluten free.

New to running, completed Couch to 5K this summer, just ran first 5K, Warrior Dash.
I typically run MWF, avg about 2.0 miles @ 12:30 min pace, 47 years old.
Have been struggling with a pulled muscle/tendon behind my right knee for little over a month now. Burning, aching, and knee goes weak. Have taken days off here and there to rest it, and recently an entire week. Wrap helped at first but then became painful to wear at all. Ate a ton of Ibuprophen, helped but caused my stomach to burn. Not taking it regularly any more. Was doing some better, usually hurts when first starting out on a run, but then seems fine after it warms up. But as soon as I finish the run it comes back with a vengeance. Ran first 5K run/obstacle course, no real incidents, but had only trained on a flat course and this was a more rugged terrain through fields and muddy trails. Knee was sore the next day, progressively worsened through the night. Couldn't walk on it the next morning, and still struggling to just limp around on it. Pain has spread through entire leg, though the outer area behind the knee is the worst. Putting weight on it kills me, using a cane to get around the house today. Iced it last night, which felt amazing.. but can't keep icing it forever.
Q: What is the best path to healing this injury?
Q: This knee/thigh area seems tender, so how can I prevent injurying it again like this in the future?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much ^_^
pain is actually just above the knee, like where the thigh connects to it.
Found great commentary on the issue on another discussion board...
And someone referred me to this article with exercises that describes my issue very well...
The fact that the pain subsides while running and comes back later when things stiffen, shows there is a heavy muscular component to your pain. First off, I would say that the types of events you are competing in aren't helping any. When things get this bad (especially when you are new to running), you need to stick with a gentler regimen and not tempt fate.
I don't think you have a problem with any particular muscle. I think you have a problem with a lot of them, and their stiffness only increases the workload and vulnerability of other muscles working in concert or in opposition. We classify groups of muscles as agonists, antagonists, and synergists. There is a lot of cooperation and redundancy to most movements. When one drops out of the mix due to overuse, the others have to work harder. When they resist movement, the muscle(s) on the opposite side of the joint(s) must also work harder.
Muscles move joints, and often attach very close to the joint itself. The pain they produce is often mistaken for pain in the actual joint. When the muscles warm up and/or relax, the joint pain often disappears, showing the joint itself is not the problem. When they stiffen later after a workout, pain - even after limited movement - is not unusual.
Needing a cane suggests quad failure, which can be in response to knee pain alone. The amount of contraction force available to a muscle depends on the health of surrounding tissue, as well as the health of the muscle tissue itself.. You are programmed to reduce contraction force in prime movers when either primary or secondary tissues are at risk. Happens to the best of us, all the time.
For now, forget beating yourself up in favor of a little more R&R. Keep moving though, so things continue to work the way you want them to after you heal. In addition to the circulatory benefits of light activity, mobility of your lymphatic system can be obtained with light massage to the extremities. The lymphatic system is vital to tissue recovery and removal of waste. Foam-rolling the legs downward toward the feet is counter to proper lymphatic flow, which is controlled by valves in the lymphatic vessels. If you foam roll, as suggested by many in the RW forum, don't make the typical mistake of rolling down because it looks easier. Roll upward to enhance lymphatic flow. There is no heart to circulate lymph, only movement and external pressure. Movement always helps courtesy of the valves, but external pressure must be done right. The valves are there to prevent pooling of fluids in your extremities as you run. Don't fight them. Work with them, or risk damage.
If there are knots in some of the muscles that are behind the splinting effect, disabling them may require deeper work with an elbow, reinforced thumb, or other blunt object. Avoid invading the space behind your knee as much as possible. Concentrate on the upper and lateral calves, hamstrings and lower (medial and lateral) quads. Relaxing each section will contribute to the recovery of the others, until you have relaxed them all. After the damage is undone, continued training will have a beneficial effect, but you run the risk of making things worse if you do not take these steps in the proper order.
Regarding one of the posts in the RW forum, the "shrink wrap" explanation of fascial compartments was probably invented by a therapist to explain what they were trying to accomplish. It's a bit deceiving, if not naive, to suggest there is a whole lot of shrinking going on. What usually happens is that muscles outgrow their fascial compartments when they develop too quickly or there is internal swelling, resulting in something called compartment syndrome, a painful and often dangerous condition. If it was really that easy for someone to stretch the tough fascia that contains our powerful muscles, the muscles would be able to stretch it all by themselves, and there would be no such thing as compartment syndrome. Normally, gradual expansion is exactly what happens over time when we develop our muscles at a normal pace. Too much, too fast, too soon, and compartmental pressure can build, especially due to internal injury that attends overuse.
In your case it is more likely that you have a widening pain referral syndrome as a result of the rapid change from light training to extreme endurance events. However short in duration they may be, the effect on unprepared muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bursa, can be as dramatic as the events themselves. First to go should be your tenderfoot muscles, which can and do radiate pain throughout the area around the joints they move, increasingly as they accumulate microscopic damage. They will tend to stiffen or "splint" long before the damage becomes major, causing you to limit your activity by design. Honor this effect, and cut back on the intense training while optimizing your chances of recovery through adequate rest, good nutrition/hydration, gentle exercise to model the repair, and a form of massage that not only soothes and circulates, but directly targets dysfunctional portions of muscle.
Let me know if your need any tips on self-massage techniques. Several examples can be found on the web, but they are not all good, especially the ones involving a foam roller. Eventually, as you strengthen, you will need less of this support as your muscles strengthen to resist damage, your technique improves, and your routine allows for enough recovery to keep up with your training.
Thank you so much James, your comments were very helpful. I actually did a huge jump one day, several weeks back from 2.0 miles to 5K just to see if I could manage it. That was the point where much of the pain began becoming unbearable and more constant. I am not good with biology or medical terms, but the muscle casing that you mentioned being too small and the sudden growth of the muscle itself makes complete sense. I am into my second week of rest, had resolved not to be off my run schedule for more than a week. But my body is saying otherwise. It is actually much better going into this second week. I only used the cane for the first couple days. Although stairs and putting my weight on it last week was very difficult, so much so, my knee was actually going weak at times. I was on the verge of going to the doctor, but had a substantial upturn this weekend. I am taking this second week off, to rest it, then plan to gradually work up to my run plan. I have a 5K coming up third week of October, but not sure I will manage running the whole thing. May have to put some two minute brisk walks in their ^_^
I have not tried the foam rolling, because there is so much conflicting information on the web about it. But yes, I would like more exercise and massage tips to loosen things up and help with recovery. Thank you for taking the time to share so much valued information. I can't tell you how much I truly appreciate your insight.
I also failed to mention that I have had chronic scoliosis since childhood. Had surgury to place a herrington rod in my back and reduce the "s" curve in my spine. Most people can't even tell by lookin at me how crazy my bones are ill-alligned. All the bones on the right side of my body are out of place to some degree. My right leg is slightly shorter than my left because my hips are out of balance due to the curvature of my spine. Tho I was a very athletic child, played basketball aggressively before the surgery as a teen.. and tried to maintain a decent level of fitness after. I have limited mobility with five vertebrae fused together, but I can run and function with few limits other than that.
The issue is that my stride and how my foot hits the ground is not as it should be. So I am not sure if I have just done too much too fast.. or if I am just not made to run beyond a 2.0 mile trek. As I heal, I plan to be wiser about my running and ease back into it. Then if I still have issues after training the right way, I will know that it's a matter of pressing my limitations. If so, I may have to take up biking. If not, I plan to take better care of myself while training for demanding runs, and then I plan to run like the wind.. just because I can! ^_^
Sorry it's taken so long for me to respond. My schedule is pretty chaotic lately, but I've read the above a few times and have lots to cover. The scoliosis could probably be reversed somewhat if you were fitted for the proper orthotic support in the short leg shoe. It's not everyday we see such an obvious case of short leg syndrome, but you've certainly nailed it on the head.
The question I have for you at this point is, which leg is buckling, the short one or the long one? The technical term is leg-length discrepancy, and it doesn't take much of a difference in leg length to affect an active person. I'm surprised more attention was not paid to this in your basketball years, because the long-term effects on chronic pain and muscular dysfunction are well documented.
A good example of how it can affect runners, is the great Boston Bill Rodgers, legendary winner of several marathons, including 4 each of Boston and New York, despite having a serious leg-length discrepancy. I once read an account of how his high school coach nailed a piece of wood onto one of his shoes to make up for the difference, but he uses an orthotic today. Not sure if some intervention like this might have helped him reach even greater heights throughout his career, but it his example shows how the LLD can be overcome.
Like Bill, my left leg is shorter than the other, giving me a slight advantage on the curves of a track oval. I had persistent one-sided injuries for years until I learned to compensate in my footwear. I just put a tough gel sole in one of my shoes to make up for the slight difference, and have enjoyed better running since. There is the disadvantage of one shoe weighing a bit more, but the advantages of biomechanical balance far outweighs the drawbacks of orthotic use. Bear in mind that I do not use a typical arch-support orthotic, but a flat gel sole. If your length problem is partly due to a collapsed arch, it gets more complicated.
If I were you, I would not run another mile without sticking something, at least a heel lift in the short side shoe. Expect some chafing of your heel as it rises in the shoe. My socks tend to prematurely wear at that spot. Meanwhile, the giving out of the knee is probably due to a quad malfunction, which could in turn be due to a knee problem. In my case, I had more problems in the knee of the longer leg, because it had more lifting to do. If your "bad" knee is on the short side, I would be careful about using a radical lift, and phase it in gradually for safety. Too much change too soon might hurt more than help, but some changes need to be made ASAP. Massage to the lower medial (inner) quad (V. Medialis) may restore function, but inflammation in the knee can cause it to remain weak in terms of contraction force.
Correcting the imbalance is of course aimed at reducing problems in the knee, as long as you adapt well to the changes. Find something you can move between shoes so you can gradually retrain yourself to achieve biomechanical balance. Consistent application in all your footwear is important. See if you can get used to the change using non-impact training like an elliptical or Nordic Track until it becomes familiar. There is a good possibility that within the next few months to a year, you may find other LLD symptoms, from scoliosis to neck pain and headaches, go into remission along with the leg problems.
Once again, Thanks so much James, time is a valuable thing these days and I appreciate you responding so thoroughly.
I am feeling much better, no pain, but the knee/leg is still weak and sensitive. Last saturday I did an easy 30 min walk, and it went very well. This past Tuesday was two full weeks since my last run, and I did an easy mix of runs and walks with 5 min warm up walk and 5 min cool down: 3 min run, 3 min walk, then three sets of 5 min runs and 1 min walks between. There was never any pain, still felt pretty weak, but the walks fell at the right times so that I never felt a strain on my knee. Planning to use this regimen until it feels stronger. A little sore and stiff the next day overall, but nothing concerning.
I only read your recent comments this morning, and plan to take all of it to heart. I am going to pick up a gel insert this week to try in my right shoe. I tried to measure the difference in leg length with a tape measure, and it is very slight.. very rough estimate of about .25 to .33 of an inch off. I can put my weight on my right leg and my heel slightly catches the floor.. but when I put my weight on my left leg, my right leg swings pretty freely. If this works and even effects a lifetime of shoulder and neck pain as well.. you will forever be in my hero book, lol.
I played JV basketball as a kid, captain, undefeated season.. and was diagnosed with severe S curve scholiosis just before the championship game. There were only two surgeons at that time doing the Herrington rod which was the newest treatment back in 1979. Dr. Paul Griffin at Vanderbilt was the one my family chose.. incredible man.. he heard that my surgery had been scheduled so that I would miss the Championship Game.. he halted everything.. changed a full slate of treatment.. just so I wouldn't miss the game. Was sposed to be last game of my life. We won, I was lead scorer, and it was a great moment.. but I will never forget his kindness to juggle so much for one little girl from a small town. I wore a plaster paris body cast for a year after, and was restricted from most physical activities for years. However, I attended a new school in the tenth grade and snuck on the team.. was starting team alternate when my back began hurting. I had to quit completely after that.
It was actually my basketball coach in the eighth grade that noticed my shoulder.. and had me lean forward one day in practice while he examined my backbone.. it was obvious things were quite out of line. But the follow up treatments for the differing leg lenths and such were never addressed through the years after the body cast was removed. Never really thought about it contributing to constant injuries through the years, in general workouts. But thinking back, the same area, and sometimes on the other leg, was almost always pulled and in a wrap when I played ball before the scholiosis was discovered.
I am very excited about his new insight.. can't wait to see how it affects things over the next several weeks. I will post any significant changes if they arise, but I am very hopeful. Thanks again for sharing so much insight ^_^
Oh, and I actually have an elliptical.. I sound like such a medical mess.. it's really not as bad as it sounds. But, I was running a little and working out while in college, and actually tore a kidney pretty bad. Because the bones are so out of place, I guess other things are kinda strained by that. I had been doing some pretty aggressive workouts and playing alot of basketball with friends. One morning I woke up and my urine was solid black. They did renial artiograms and found the tear.. it was an easy fix.. mainly just rest and some meds.
All that to say that when I began wanting to work out again several years back, I got the elliptical in hopes that it would be less strain on my kidneys. But got bored with it, wanted to be outside.
However, since I have picked up running again, I have had no incidents of any injury until the knee issue. So I think things will be fine as soon as I get this figured out. I don't plan to do more than a 5K, that is my goal, to run them regularly. And I am picking up biking as well. Plan to alternate the two workouts. I was actually thinking about getting rid of the elliptical recentlyl, but I guess I will keep it. May need it again down the road.
Just checking back a week out, but the way it usually works in LLDs is a long-leg knee problem from not being able to plant without lifting, and a short-leg achilles/forefoot pain problem, since that leg has to lift more to stay level. Hip problems can go either way depending on how you compensate.
Regardless, I have tremendous respect for your athletic career and the triumph of human spirit over diversity. You have certainly demonstrated more heroics than most of us are ever called upon to deliver. Nevertheless, I would not be surprised if your best years are ahead when we get this thing under control.
As I recall commenting in another post somewhere, I remember a class where a guy explained that leg-length differences of as little as 1/8" were relevant in clinical practice. When the crudely fitted prosthetic legs of amputees at the VA were adjusted to the exact lengths they were supposed to be, the chronic pains reported began to disappear. I'll bet your chances are even better with the natural equipment you've got.
My take on the rod is that it certainly altered the potential for spinal problems resulting from chronic scoliosis, but I supposed it left everything from your pelvis on down holding the bag. You have shown how tough you are, so I expect you to overcome all of these past problems and re-train like you have a new body. Any luck with home-made or professional orthotic support?
Thanks James ^_^
I tried the thinnest gel insert I could find, and was surprised at how huge it felt. I wore it around in my running shoes for a day to see how it would feel.. and it quickly began causing some arch and calve pain. I thought perhaps that was normal after years without such an insert, but I took it out of my shoe that night. I had a 5K coming up (was just yesterday) and I wanted to wait on any significant changes. The run went very well. I actually placed 13/21 in my age group, so I was very happy. I used a program I set up in runkeeper composed of several sets of 5 min runs followed by 1 min brisk walks.. my time was 41:33. It was a GoCommando 5K, and my daughter and I ran it in memory of my dad (he served three tours in Nam, and it was his birthday the week of the race). We wore his dogtags pinned to our running shirts. It was a fun day!
I had resolved to maybe go to the doc and see about having a medical insert done for my shoe. But suddenly last week I remembered that during the WARRIOR DASH that I ran just before the knee pain became unbearable, one of the obstacles was a series of 5 or 6 barricades that we had to scale. It was the most demanding obstacle for me... I ended up pulling up and getting my right knee over the barricade and then pulling myself up to sit straddling it. Then I threw my left leg over and jumped down. After repeating such a strain on my knee to pull the bulk of my weight each time, I am quite sure that this must have been what really pushed my knee and tendons over the edge. Then when I got home, it was hurting pretty bad the next day. But I went ahead and did my Monday run with it hurting all the way. The next day I couldn't walk on it.
Now all these weeks later of resting it and icing and all the RICE and relaxation.. I am finally on the mend. It is still pretty weak. I had a couple scary moments on the downhills on the run yesterday (the hills were pretty significant during the first half of the run). Then we had a turn around point and most of the last portion was steep down hill.. I was concerned at how weak my knee was, like it was gonna give out, but it held up. I think the one min walks made a huge difference. I iced it last night and it has been pretty stiff today.. but not painful. I am planning to go easy on it and see if it continues to improve. If it levels off and remains weak or easily strained.. I am going to see about a medical insert.
There is a Turkey run coming up in Nov that I am training for next. I think I am getting slightly addicted to this running stuff, lol.
Thanks so much for all your help and encouragement.. I will come back and update you as things progress ^_^

BERKELEY -- Cal's historic season ended Saturday one game short of the College Cup, leaving players sprawled across Edwards Stadium on a frigid day of despair.
In a game the sixth-ranked Bears believed they would win, Maryland struck in the 86th minute to end Cal's hopes of playing in soccer's Final Four for the first time in the program's 107-year history.
Michael Sauers' 20-yard blast led the No. 4 Terrapins (16-3-5) to a 2-1 victory and trip to the national semifinals Friday in Philadelphia against Atlantic Coast Conference rival Virginia.
"A ricochet here or there and we're heading to Philadelphia next week," Cal coach Kevin Grimes said.
The Bears (14-5-2) created a basket full of chances but failed to convert other than Stefano Bonomo's equalizer in the 50th minute. The Burlingame High alum scored moments after Maryland goalkeeper Zach Steffen blocked his first attempt on the goal line.
Bonomo almost scored again 10 minutes later when he collected a through ball from Alec Sundly in the box. Instead of quickly shooting, Bonomo had the presence to dribble around Steffen, who was caught out of position. However, his shot was blocked by a defender.
The Bears also had three good looks during a 14-minute stretch in the first half, including Zach Fuentes' open shot in the 19th minute that rattled off both goal posts before being cleared by Maryland.
"We had point-blank shots, balls cleared off line. It just didn't happen," Grimes said.
Maryland, the ACC regular-season champion, avenged a 3-2 overtime loss at Cal in September.
Despite the defeat, the Bears felt good about the effort, particularly in shutting down Patrick Mullins, the country's leading scorer. Mullins had one big chance in the 84th minute on a breakaway but keeper Alex Mangels safely punched it away.
Boasting two of the best center backs in the country, Cal's defensive effort didn't surprise Maryland coach Sasho Cirovski.
"In the end, they all neutralized each other," he said of the Cal defenders and his forwards. "It is too much quality on both sides."
The Bear defenders -— Steven Birnbaum and Christian Dean -- are expected to be top picks in the Major League Soccer draft in January with Mullins.
Grimes, who has turned Cal into a soccer power in his 13 years in Berkeley, didn't want to think about the future Saturday.
"You did see history today -- and the whole season," he said. "Twelve games unbeaten streak to start season for the first time. Ranked No. 1 for six weeks for the first time. The highest seed ever in the tournament. Hosting a quarterfinal game, that never happened in Cal soccer.
"This was a season of the ages for this team and this program."

OAKLAND -- When the season began, a lot of people thought the Raiders had the look of a four-win team.
Not many had the Raiders getting those wins by midseason.
The Raiders can improve their record to 4-4 Sunday with a win over the Philadelphia Eagles at O.co Coliseum, a mediocre record until last season's 4-12 record and subsequent roster purge is taken into account.
"It'd be a huge statement for us as a team," Raiders defensive end Lamarr Houston said.
Philadelphia (3-5) has restructured its systems of offense and defense under first-year coach Chip Kelly much as the Raiders did under Dennis Allen a year ago.
With 10 starters who weren't around in 2012 on defense and Terrelle Pryor emerging as the starting quarterback, the Raiders are dramatically different on both sides of the ball from last year.
Whether they're good enough to climb to .500 and beyond is a story that will begin to play itself out in a midseason home game that precedes a brutal stretch of four road games in distant locales over the next five weeks.
While Allen has strayed from looking too far into the future while concentrating on the task at hand, he sees the Philadelphia game as a chance for the Raiders make a name for themselves.
"It's time for us," Allen said. "If we're going to do something, we need to start making some sort of moves."
The Raiders were 3-5 at the halfway point a year ago and were 4-4 in both 2010 and 2011. Aside from getting to .500, beating the Eagles would give the Raiders back-to-back victories, something they haven't done this season and have done only once since Allen became coach last year.
"Like I've said from the beginning, I like this team and I think we have a good team," Allen said. "We need to be a more consistent team. That's what the really good teams are able to do. There's been a lot of emphasis this week in going out and doing our job, being consistent, executing our responsibilities and doing it fast."
Toward that end, players were given shiny black lunch pails that had the 21-18 score of last week's Pittsburgh game and a label that said "lunch pail game."
Pryor didn't think getting to four wins was overly significant because either this week or at some point in near future it's a foregone conclusion.
"We're going to get to four wins, we're going to get a lot more wins. That's our mindset," Pryor said. "I can guarantee that."
Cornerback Tracy Porter sees getting to .500 as the jumping off point for what follows.
"I could sit here and rant and rave and say we're supposed to be better than 3-4, but our record is what it is and our goal is to get to 4-4," Porter said. "Once we get there, our goal is to go to 5-4 and keep those wins climbing."
If the Raiders can keep running back LeSean McCoy in check, the game might come down to whether Pryor or Philadelphia counterpart Nick Foles can make plays in the passing game.
Pryor has been self-critical over his recent passing performances against Kansas City and Pittsburgh and thought execution rather than offensive coordinator Greg Olson's play-calling was to blame for a 21-3 lead turning into a nail-biter against the Steelers.
"We've got to sharpen it up," Pryor said. "We've got to hit the guys that are open. We've got to block so we get open holes. We've got to get all the basics down when he calls the play. If we block it right, if we throw it right and we do everything right, the play is going to have success.''

When my parents got rid of their cable programing about two years ago I thought they were crazy. My dad is a huge sports fan and with all of us kids out of the house my mom would need something to keep her occupied. Still, they got rid of the cable and kept their wireless internet.
Throughout college I had cable and wireless. I spent about $80 a month on keeping myself distracted while I attempted to study.
When I graduated and made my way into the 'real world' I had a decision to make: to stick with what I know, a cable/internet package, or to get rid of the cable altogether.
Sure, bundling a package and saving a bunch of money seems great, but look for those hidden fees. Are you renting the adapter? Are you renting the router? These expenses can add up quickly.
I'm not a person who watches TV that regularly. I like playing video games online, I get my news from print/online sources and any television series that I want to follow I can watch at Hulu online. They provide next day episodes for free, with no download and no sign up necessary.
You can even get your sports through ESPN360 if you sign up with the right internet provider.
The internet offers less commercials than TV, it is free and the only real downside is that shows aren't available until the day after their premier.
There is a reason cable providers are offering these bundle packages – because nobody really needs cable or a phone line anymore. In the same way journalism has had to adapt with the emergence of online publications, so too does the television industry.
What is the change that is necessary to keep television watchers interested in keeping their cable services? I don't know. As long as I can watch whatever show I want whenever I want for free, I can't justify buying cable for my TV.

EDMONTON, Alberta -- Sharks forward Logan Couture will miss Tuesday night's game against the Edmonton Oilers with continuing soreness after blocking a blast by Calgary Flames defenseman Mark Giordano on San Jose's 2-1 shootout loss Monday night.
But coach Todd McLellan stuck to his assessment that the injury is not serious, repeating that Couture was fine and soreness was the problem, nothing more.
"You block three shots in a 15-second period and a couple in the same spot, you're going to be sore," McLellan said.
Mike Brown will take Couture's spot on the lineup against Edmonton.
McLellan indicated he would start Tuesday night's game with the same top three lines that finished the Calgary game. That had Joe Thornton centering James Sheppard and Brent Burns, Patrick Marleau centering Matt Nieto and Tyler Kennedy, and Joe Pavelski centering Tommy Wingels and Marty Havlat.
Couture did not accompany the team to Rexall Place, but was expected to arrive shortly before game time.
McLellan also said that defenseman Scott Hannan would be back in the lineup against Edmonton, but did not disclose who would be scratched.

More than 100 Ohio communities were left underwater by the March 1913 flood. More than 400 people in the state were killed as a result of the disaster, and nearly 36,000 homes were no longer livable.
The deluge was considered a wake-up call for better flood prevention and mitigation throughout the state as watershed conservation districts were established and flood control dams built.
Flood warning systems have also been developed with stream gauge technology that now plays an important role in providing advance flood warning for many communities, according to Greg Koltun, hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey's Ohio Water Science Center in Columbus.
Article Photos
"A lot has changed since the 1913 flood. For example, in 1913, the USGS operated one gauging station in Ohio where stream flow was determined," he said. "Now we operate about 223 stream flow and/or stage gauges on streams in Ohio (not including gauges on the Ohio River)."
Koltun said the newest gauges are high-tech devices that provide almost immediate information about current stream and river conditions.
"Almost all gauges today have some form of telemetry (usually by satellite) that allows us to know what is happening with our rivers in near real time," he said. "The telemetered gauge data are picked up by the National Weather Service in addition to the USGS to be used in the flood-forecasting and flood-warning process."
Fact Box
Steps that have been taken to reduce flooding threat since 1913
In the 100 years since the Flood of 1913 there have been great strides in reducing the threat to life and property from floods. Some of these strategies include:
Prevention measures (building, zoning, storm water management, floodplain regulations).
Property protection measures (acquisition, elevation, relocation, flood insurance).
Natural resource protection (wetland protection, erosion/sediment control).
Emergency services (warning programs, disaster response).
Structural projects (dams, levees, channel modifications).
Public information (outreach, technical assistance, education).
Flood Warnings and alerts.
Source: Silver Jackets website mrcc.isws.illinois.edu/1913 flood
That information is also made available over the Internet so that the public, as well as emergency management officials, can make better decisions about the likelihood and potential consequences of flooding, Koltun said.
Long before the flood gauges, the state established watershed conservation districts to develop flood control measures throughout Ohio. The first of those, the Miami Conservancy District, was established in 1915, in direct response to the devastation caused by the 1913 flood.
The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, which covers the Marietta area, was created in June 1933, according to the district's website at www.mwcd.org.
The plan for the MWCD called for construction of 14 dams and reservoirs, all part of a system designed to provide an equitable distribution of flood control and water conservation throughout the basin. The dams and reservoirs would be located in the watersheds of three main tributaries of the Muskingum River, including the Walhonding River, the Tuscarawas River and Wills Creek.
The system of dams and reservoirs was designed to be operated so that the reservoirs could be filled to the height of the spillways in the event of a storm with a total five-day rainfall 36 percent larger than the magnitude of the March 1913 storm.
The 14 dams are owned by the federal government and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in cooperation with the MWCD.
Since the construction of the system of reservoirs and dams, the USACE estimates more than $7 billion worth of potential damage from flooding has been saved in the Muskingum River watershed.

Chamber of Commerce Not Impressed by Cruz's Strategy
Sen. Ted Cruz angered fellow Republicans in pursuing a strategy that sought to defund ObamaCare even it meant shutting down the government and bringing the nation close to default.
But it seems the business community was also dubious about his methods.
At a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor on Monday, U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Thomas Donohue made clear that he was unimpressed by the freshman senator's gambit.
"I sort of think about him as a tennis player," Mr. Donohue said. "If you're going to rush the net all the time, you have to have a lot of motion to the left and the right. And he hasn't proved that to me yet."
In interviews on the Sunday talk shows, Mr. Cruz didn't rule out another attempt to defund Obamacare in the next round of budget fights. The U.S. faces another partial shutdown on Jan. 16 unless Congress passes a new spending bill, and lawmakers are in talks about aimed at resolving partisan differences over the budget.
Mr. Donohue said the Chamber was prepared to work with Mr. Cruz. He then fielded a question from a reporter about whether some in the business community would like the senator to "sit down and shut up."
"Well, that might be one thing we could work on," Mr. Donohue said.
He added: "I think that to come on into the Senate and be there a very short period of time, he still has a lot of relationships to make. And my view is that he hasn't got the votes to do what he wants to do. So then, what does history show? After a while he'll start talking to people about how to get done what he wants to get done instead of telling everybody how he's going to get it done."
Chamber of Commerce Says It Won't Stop Some New Revenues

EDINBURG – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi volleyball team picked up its third-straight win on Tuesday night, with Shannon Hullum leading the way to the Islanders' 3-1 (25-20, 25-18, 21-25, 25-19) victory against Texas – Pan American. Hullum led four players in double-digit kills (17), with Ivy Baresh and Brooke Alverson picking up 14 each and Brianna Brink totaling 11 on the night.
The Islanders are now 3-1 on the season, winning three straight after falling in the opening match of the season. UTPA dropped to 1-3 on the season with the home loss.
On the defensive side, Micah Nolan picked up 33 digs in the match, while Shelby Coppedge had 15 and Baresh finished with 13 to go along with her 14 kills for the first double-double of her collegiate career. Logen Bourque had a season-high 52 assists to set up the offensive attack for the Islanders.
Early in the first set the teams were in a back-and-forth battle, with neither team leading by more than two points. With UTPA leading 13-12, the Islanders reeled off eight straight points around two Broncs timeouts to take a commanding 20-13 lead. UTPA staged a comeback late in the set, getting to within four points before an attack error gave Texas A&M – Corpus Christi a 25-20 set and a 1-0 lead in the match. Alverson led the way with six kills, while Nolan picked up nine digs in the set.
The two teams were tied at 5-5 early in the second, but the Islanders scored 6-of-8 points to take an 11-7 lead behind kills from Ashley Phelps and Courtney Hall, as well as a block assist by Phelps and Bourque to give their team the advantage. The lead was stretched to as many as nine following a kill by Hullum to make it a 22-13 score. UTPA scored several points late, but it was not enough as a kill by Alverson made it set point, and a kill from Baresh made it a 25-18 final for a 2-0 set lead for the Islanders.
The third set saw Texas A&M – Corpus Christi lead early, taking a 13-9 edge before the Broncs scored five straight points to hold a 15-14 advantage, forcing the Islanders to call their first timeout of the night. The lead stretched to as many as three on two occasions, the second coming at 18-15. The Islanders rallied to within one point on a Hullum kill, but UTPA scored four of the last five points to take a 25-21 set.
In the final set, the Islanders started out strong, building a nine-point advantage at 18-9 on multiple kills from Hullum, Alverson, Brink and Baresh. The lead nearly turned into a tie score as the Broncs rallied to score five-straight to make it 18-14. It would be as close as the Broncs could get, though, as back-to-back-to-back kills from Alverson, Brink and Tyger Holt extended the lead back to seven on the way to a 25-19 final. Match point came at 24-15, but UTPA reeled off four-straight points to close the gap before a Brink kill ended the match.
Next up for the Islanders will be the TCU Nike Invitational in Fort Worth this weekend. Texas A&M – Corpus Christi will face Army to open the tourney on Friday, while taking on TCU and SMU on Saturday to finish the weekend.

Ashley Huttenstine '12
I started doing research with Dr. Jeffrey Rood sophomore year in order to test my skills, think more critically and learn more lab techniques that I can pass along to future students. --Ashley Huttenstine
Ashley Huttenstine came to E-town with an idea of what she wanted to do but didn't know just how much she would end up challenging herself.
"I had a really great chemistry teacher in high school who inspired me to become a teacher in order to reach out and share my talents with others," she said.
The question, then, was what to focus on. She always loved science in high school, but when she came to E-town she took the opportunity to push herself and expand her horizons.
"Chemistry was never a science that came easily to me, so I wanted to challenge myself," Ashley said, adding that she took part in independent research to push herself even more. "Chemistry and Secondary Education majors are not required to do independent research; however, I wanted to challenge myself. I started doing research with Dr. Jeffrey Rood sophomore year in order to test my skills, think more critically and learn more lab techniques that I can pass along to future students."
Ashley also is ambitious outside the classroom. She's active in Emotion, E-town's dance group; serves as a Peer Mentor and an Admissions tour guide; and belongs to several other clubs and organizations.
"I believe that I have really come out of my shell since I have been at E-town. I have become more outgoing; I reached out to the campus community and got involved," she said.
Not slowing down, Ashley has set her sights on continuing her education while a member of the working world.
"After college I plan to stay in the Lancaster area to teach high school chemistry, while working on my master's degree."

USC Upstate falls flat in loss to Florida Gulf Coast
Published: Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 11:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 11:08 p.m.
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Sherwood Brown scored 21 points and Florida Gulf Coast rode a big second half to a 74-49 rout of USC Upstate on Saturday night in Atlantic Sun play.
The Eagles (18-8, 10-3), leading by six at halftime, outscored the Spartans (13-13, 7-6) 43-24 in the second half for an easy victory. They avenged a 72-71 overtime loss at USC Upstate (13-13, 7-6) on Jan. 10. The Spartans dropped their third straight game and fall to 3-3 in conference road games
Brown got help from Bernard Thompson, who scored 10 points and made five steals. Eddie Murray also scored 10 coming off the bench. Brett Comer contributed nine assists.
The Eagles, who led by just 33-30 early in the second half, went on a 10-2 run that included five points from Filip Cvjeticanin. Florida Gulf Coast outscored the Spartans 36-22 in the paint, and 25-10 while capitalizing on 21 SC Upstate turnovers.
Ricardo Glenn scored a season-high 17 points for Upstate and finished a rebound shy of a double-double in 31 minutes of action. Ty Greene was the only other Spartan to finish in double figures, adding 11 points and four rebounds.
The Spartans showed signs of breaking out of their slump in the opening period when Torrey Craig pulled away from the pack and quieted the crowd with a thunderous fast break dunk, giving Upstate a 17-13 lead with 8:26 left in the first half.
FGCU would take over from there, scoring 14 unanswered points, capped by a pair of free throws from DaJuan Graf to create the first double-digit lead of the day to give the Eagles a 27-17 advantage.
Just when it looked like FGCU would pull away, the Spartans weathered the storm when Craig connected on a pair of free throws and Greene drilled a 3-pointer to cut the lead right back down to five at 27-22.
The Spartans will regroup and turn their attention to next Thursday and a matchup against Mercer at the Hodge Center. A 9 p.m. tip-off against the Bears will be broadcasted nationally on ESPN3.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Sequestration (n) 1. setting apart, segregation, 2. withdrawal, seclusion" - Webster's New Riverside Dictionary.Hmmm. Maybe. But the "sequestration" that's about to hit federal spending come March 1 is described in the media as more of an apocalypse; $85 billion in meat ax-across-the-board spending cuts. How did we ever get to this point?Two years ago the US was approaching its debt limit. The Obama Administration asked Congress for a vote increasing the ceiling and House Republicans replied: "no way."As an ingenious way around the stalemate Obama (who now denies responsibility for sequestration) went to Sen. Harry Reid and asked him to shepherd a budget slashing law through the Senate that was so drastic that it would serve as a lever to force Democrats and Republicans to replace it with a more measured substitute. Reid crafted a bill cutting $1.2 trillion over ten years ($85 billion is the 2013 installment) equally impacting defense and domestic spending.The plan was to pass the law but delay it until Jan 1, 2013, form a super committee of Senate and House members of both parties to craft substitute legislation and waive it in front of the GOP as an inducement to vote to increase the debt ceiling. It worked. From there on things went down hill fast.The bi-partisan super committee could not agree on substitute legislation and adjourned without action. As the implementation date approached the only thing the Administration, the Senate and House could agree on was to postpone the effective date until March 1, 2013.Obama offered last minute substitute legislation that includes tax increases which was dead on arrival in the GOP House. That's where things stand now as the extended deadline looms and neither side has any serious proposals on the table.Who will feel the pain? As it turns out the original legislation exempted members of the military as well as entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security so the ax is likely to fall on civilian employees of the armed forces, air controllers, federal jobs programs, research programs, Transportation Security Administration staff and similar programs. Shipbuilding and infrastructure endeavors will temporarily halt but furloughs will apply to individuals, not layoffs. Will the impact of the cuts light a fire under Congress and the Obama Administration? Not very likely since on the eve of the implementation Congress is in recess and Pres. Obama is bouncing from golf with Tiger Woods to Chicago to talk about gun control.Northern Nevada's Congressman Mark Amodei (R-Carson City) may have the best understanding of the situation. He believes the cuts will take effect on March 1 and that Congress will then scramble to take action by the end of March to replace the cuts with more palatable reductions and pass a budget extension to keep the federal government funded through the end of the fiscal year."We'll have a big 'Drama Olympics' at the end of March to see where we're at" Amodei said. "It's almost as if there were a preference for drama and emergency at the edge of the abyss every few months as a way of doing business around here" he added.However, the Chicago Tribune was more sanguine, belittling the "Chicken Little warnings." "Cutting $85 billion from our $3.5 trillion budget amounts to a mere rounding error," the editorial said. The Wall Street Journal agreed, saying: "No one ever said cutting spending was going to be easy, and in the long run the economy will be better for it."We will know shortly.- Jim Clark is president of Republican Advocates and has served on the Washoe County & Nevada State GOP Central Committees; he can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A Good Team, But Not A Great Team
Nobody should be jumping all over Ottawa GM Bryan Murray just yet. He deserves time to fix this team. But, all the same, he better damn well fix it.
This version of the Ottawa Senators can be a good team, probably a playoff team, but as it stands right now, there is simply not enough talent to contend for the Stanley Cup. Not on forward, not on defense and especially not in goal.
While it was John Muckler who let Zdeno Chara walk away for nothing to Beantown, Murray worsened the problem by allowing franchise defenseman Wade Redden to also leave without compensation and traded away the team's last true offensive defenseman in Andrej Meszaros. They might not have been fan favourites but you can't deny that their loss has had a negative impact on this team.
That's not a criticism of their replacements like Filip Kuba, Jason Smith and Alex Picard. They're playing exactly as advertised and in the same manner that they've done throughout their careers. Smith in particular, was a great addition to this team. But Redden and Meszaros were too valuable to let go all at once and now Murray is going to have trade away some valuable forwards or prospects to fix the problem.
Under Murray, too often it's been the fans who've run the team. They wanted Ray Emery gone and he was sent packing. They wanted Redden and Meszaros gone and they got their wish. When the fans finally turn on Martin Gerber (and that's right around...now), he'll be gone too. Next up is boo-bird favourites Jason Spezza and Chris Neil whose only crimes are that fans are simply too familiar with them. They're bored with them. Small faults are turned into irreconcilable sins. The Senators fans crave constant change and no player is too valuable to spare their wrath.
Remember, it wasn't that long ago that the fans wanted Daniel Alfredsson traded. Call-in shows and message boards were filled with anti-Alfie rants but not many will admit to taking part in it now.
Murray was quoted numerous times saying that he wanted the fans to have a team they could be proud of and not the bunch of carousing personalities who were dispatched to other teams, and in Emery's case, to another country altogether.
The problem is that those players took their skills with them and Murray has not suitably replaced them. Ray Emery, love him or hate him, was the most successful goalie the Senators ever employed and despite his issues last season, was on track to have a real solid career in the NHL with a Stanley Cup run already on his resume.
Yes, he was immature but that's not out of the ordinary in big league sports. Kids grow out of it. Grant Fuhr grew out of it. Mark Messier grew out of it (Messier used to miss planes and buses in his younger days and was sent to the minors by Glen Sather as punishment), Patrick Roy never grew out of it but he still won anyways. Murray made a fair decision to buy Emery out but it's hard to believe that he truly thought he could succeed with Gerber as his number one goalie this year.
Yet there's Gerber letting in the same soft goals, deflating his team in the early stages of important games and the defense can't even execute a puck-transition strategy because they simply don't have the high-end skill.
Character is great. Who could argue with that? But the first thing you need to win in this league is skill. Pure and simple.
Ottawa once had an abundance of it but the great "character purges" have left this team weak in too many areas to properly compete for the Stanley Cup.
You could bring the whole team home to meet mom but that's still not going to win you anything.
Murray has done his part to bring in character. Now he has to get some skill back in this lineup before it's too late for veterans like Alfie and Chris Phillips to taste some much deserved champagne.
More Senators Theme Song Blues
Finally attended my first game at the rink last night, and like everyone has been saying, the Senators traditional theme song had been replaced by some awful, anonymous and meaningless commercial radio crap.
It's not enough that the music guy plays the same types of songs all through the game. He has to play it in the only spot that was sacred - when the Senators take the ice.
The visuals were great, the lighting was great and the crowd was great. Then... a big fat nothing. It actually seemed to kill emotion it was so ... ordinary. Maybe that's what's wrong with Gerbs this year... he can't get into it without the Ottawa civic anthem.
Remember how the theme song would build with deep pulses as the rink went dark until pouring forth in all it's corny but heartwarming glory?
Why Roy Mlakar? Why have you ripped the only tradition the Senators have had since day one? You keep changing the sweaters every two years. You change the logo every four years? You hire cheap actors to don clumsy outfits and embarrass the whole organization nationally during the playoffs.
Why couldn't you leave the simple little Senators song alone? It didn't hurt nobody.
If your bummed out by this heinous turn of events, feel free to contact the team through their website. They do read and usually respond to e-mails. Or start a petition. Or just forget about it. Either way.

This seems to be worst case scenario for the sens as Gerber is dying in there, Lee has been sent down picard is making bad mistakes. All the question marks other than secondary scoring (which is just meaningless anyways). They're still a defenceman and a goalie away from being a cup contender which is what makes me so frustrated.

To be fair, Murray didn't let Redden walk. He had two opportunities to trade him, but his no-trade clause (which Muckler gave him) allowed Redden to say no. Rather than unduly pressuring him to waive it, like Tampa Bay and Toronto did, he respected the agreement he had made. After the season, he had decided that $6.5 for five years is too much for Redden--and I don't see how anyone can argue with that.
As for Emery, I don't think you can say that was a decision made by the fans. He didn't even get a gig at all in the NHL; was that because Ottawa fans were ragging on him? Nope, it's because he had greatly tarnished a previously respectable (if not sparkling) reputation.

Good points. However Glen Sather thought Wade Redden was worth 6.5 million. He's a Hall Of Famer with 5 Stanley Cup rings. The Rangers have been great since the lockout so you can't use the "has-been" excuse with Sather either.
My argument is not that Murray should have kept Redden at all costs, it's that it was wrong to let both Redden and Meszaros leave in the same year. One of them should still be on this team providing capable puck movement from the back end.
P.S. I should have known better than to bring up Emery again. I can confidently say that I am virtually alone on one side of that argument. I still stand by what I said.
- October 23, 2008 at 8:00 PM
I agree with a lot of what you have written. I differ in that I am a lot harder on Bryan Murray.
Fourteen months ago we were in the Stanley Cup Finals with with fourth youngest team in the league that was pegged to only get better. Today, we have the the fifth oldest and it looks like we are getting worse by the day.
Check the Sens record with Redden in the lineup, and out of the lineup over the last few years to get his true value. It's indisputable.
I never understood the fixation with Emery's off ice activities by the fans or the media. From my viewpoint, what people do in their own free time is their own business. He's expected to stand in front of a net and stop rubber, not fly a plane full of people or perform a life saving operation. The players have repeatedly said that he was not a distraction and I believe them. Whatever problems he had, I think that we gave up on him too easily. He should have been punished, but not thrown off the team. Sather said it best, "If a player has talent, it's the coach and management's job to get it out of them". I'm paraphrasing, but he said something like that about 15 years ago.
Murray has been in hockey for 30 years and has not won anything, and yet we dump Muckler (five rings) for him. Detroit and Anaheim both won after Murray left, so will we.
- October 23, 2008 at 11:42 PM
The management have screwed up big time. Not once but over and over again.
I am sure Jaques Martin can say I told you so, especially now.
They have ignored and gotten rid of their most talented players, and seem to shed light on those players whom are inconsistent. "I.E. Spezza".
The Sens organization made the biggest mistake when they got Rid of Jaques Martin as well. By not allowing him to finnish what he started we have have seen a non consistent team since.
The Sens organization only has itself to blame I.E. higher ups.
I feel the fans should be ashamed as when players do well , oh yeah they are fans but when a player has a bad game or few or more bad games, the fans cuss and diss the player instead of supporting them. They are only human.
This new Sens Team are not the "True" Team of old and no one will ever replace them or their skill. Had they been allowed to complete what they started without the disruptions of changing the head coach and great players, we would have seen the Stanley cup by now.
So what the organization sows is what it reaps.
Whether they gel and do great, they are still not the Sens who put Hockey in Ottawa on the Map.
I don't have the same passion for this new team or the organization. I wish htem Well.
Hmm hasn't Wade Redden been playing well in New York, doing what he did so well, assisting his team mates, first goal, last goal etc.
He deserves a great apology from Ottawa that is for sure.
If there were unspoken problems they should have been worked out, he should not have been thrown out.
If there are or were addictions with members of the team, coaches etc should not be in denial about it, punish the ring leaders not the victims. Get them the correct resources to help them make healthier choices.
Being honest and direct usually brings results. Hididng things and denying things only makes the organization look foolish as there are those whom see and know what goes on outside of the arena.
Support and Protect your players, especially in times when they are vulnerable because of loss etc.
Hope by reading this people are able to step outside the box and see from all angles.
Just giving people soemthing to think about.
Little eyes are watching you
There are little eyes upon you
and they're watching night and day.
There are little ears that quickly
take in every word you say.
There are little hands all eager
to do anything you do;
And a little boy who's dreaming
of the day he'll be like you.
You're the little fellow's idol,
you're the wisest of the wise.
In his little mind about you
no suspicions ever rise.
He believes in you devoutly,
holds all you say and do;
He will say and do, in your way
when he's grown up just like you.
There's a wide eyed little fellow
who believes you're always right;
and his eyes are always opened,
and he watches day and night.
You are setting an example
every day in all you do;
For the little boy who's waiting
to grow up to be like you.
So to all who read this, or play sports etc, all those who walk our roads in life.
Remember there are "Little Eyes, Watching You".

I agree with Jeremy. Emery was the best goalie we have ever had (which maybe isn't saying much), but I was all for keeping Emery and getting rid of Gerber. Backup-quality goalies like Gerber are a dime a dozen. I would rather have had the team take the financial hit on Gerber who has proven that he can't, instead of on Emery who proved he can.
And besides, Emery was just so much more interesting.
- October 25, 2008 at 11:32 AM
Murray needs to go. This team needs a top notch coach. Murray hired Paddock, and now Hartsburgh, and the team gets worse and worse. Hartsburgh needs to be taken to task for badmouthing Gerber to the press. That is NOT going to help, it is tacky low level, and classless. Stick up for your players in public, and coach them for pity sakes. These players are good guys, and they are great hockey players-all of them, each in their own way. THEY NEED COACHING. This is a TEAM, not an indivicual sport. COACH!!!!

You can blame TSN for overblowing the emery situation. Around the clock coverage isnt always such a great thing...

My name is Jamison Huhner and my blog presents and discusses claims to fame for small towns all over the U.S. And other random nonsense. Claims to fame include celebrity residents past and present, historic events (battles, crimes), oddities, records of some sort and a million other things. I'm a graduate of Devils Lake Central and, eventually, a graduate from the University of North Dakota with degrees in Russian/Soviet studies and business. After college I moved south to Atlanta before finally ending up in Nashville where I now live with my wife and twin boys.
The Lazarus Bird
A true story. Well, most of it anyway. OK, some of it…
I left the house earlier today and returned fifteen minutes later to find, what appeared to be, a freshly deceased little bird (he wasn't there when I left) lying by the front door, apparently the victim of an unsuccessful attempt at flying through the window of our front door. I stepped into the house, grabbed a paper towel, and carefully picked him up by the tail feathers to throw him into the garbage can by the curb when he suddenly blinked and gave me a "What the heck are you doing?" look. I put him back down so he could shake it off and he flopped around a bit and then flew to a railing just a couple of feet away. I went back into the house, leaving him to gather his wits. Thirty minutes later he was still sitting there with a look on his face like he wanted to come into the house and discuss what sort of favor he could do for me for having saved his life. I told him that my house was no place for a little bird, that a couple of three year old boys have assumed control of the place and it's, well, dangerous and he wouldn't last ten minutes in there. I said "You need to go on now, go back to your own kind, your own species, raise a family, live a good full life and stop flying into windows. He seemed disappointed, but was about ready to fly off anyway when I said, "Wait, there is one thing you can do. Please tell all your little friends to stop pooping on my truck."
