A 12-year-old Martinez boy injured in the Boston Marathon bombings is recovering in Boston Children's Hospital after being struck in the leg by a piece of shrapnel, family friends said Monday.
The family is part of a Bay Area running contingent left shaken by the explosions that killed three and injured more than 100 at the venerable sporting event.
The boy was waiting at the finish line for his mother, 40-year-old Katherine Hern.
"He was very excited for his mother," said Gay Gerlack, a former Martinez city council candidate and friend of Hern.
Moments later, the child was standing with his father, sister and family friends when he was hit in the thigh by a piece of shrapnel after the first explosion went off on the north side of Boylston Street. Neither his family nor their friends were injured.
The boy was taken to Boston Children's Hospital, where he underwent surgery to remove the shrapnel.
"There were so many children that were hurt," Gerlack said. "We feel very lucky that he's going to come out of this."
Speaking on the phone from the safety of his Boston hotel, Bob Anderson could still hear the sirens outside. Hours earlier, the Los Altos resident and founder of Runner's World magazine had been among the terror-stricken competitors to hear bombs go off near the finish line.
At the time, Anderson, 65, wasn't sure where his son Michael, 37, was -- just that he'd be finishing right about the time of the explosion. When the two finally reunited in their hotel lobby, it was a teary scene.
"Oh, my gosh, the emotions just cried out,'' Anderson said. "It's just unbelievable because of the emotions -- your entire body is on edge anyway because you just ran a marathon. Then for this to be unfolding was just unbelievable. It was a scary, scary moment."
Los Gatos masters marathoner Christine Kennedy received more than a dozen texts asking if she was OK after the race. She didn't know why because Kennedy, 58, was in a subway with her daughter during the explosions.
"Of course, I am," she thought after running the fastest Boston race of her life in 2 hours, 55 minutes, 4 seconds.
Brentwood elementary school teacher Megan Faulkner ran the race in tribute to her father, who turned 80 this year, and she was emotional as she stood with him in the family meeting area, about half a mile from the finish line. That's when they heard the explosions.
Faulkner said the explosions shook the ground, but that people did not immediately know what was happening.
"We were unsure at first exactly what happened, but then all of our friends started texting us to make sure we were OK," she said. "The transit is closed underground, and you just have people kind of wandering around and trying to figure out where to go or what they should do."
Pleasanton resident Nancy Morehead finished the race four minutes before the first explosion took place.
"I heard it and I felt it. It shook the ground," said Morehead. "I wasn't very far past the finish line and I turned around and saw the big cloud and all I could think was, 'Just keep moving.'"
Morehead, who works as an analyst for East Bay Regional Parks Police, said the first explosion was so loud, she expected to see a building collapse.
Instead, she said, she saw a huge puff of smoke encompass the street.
Her cousin, Lynn Olavarri, of Scotts Valley, finished ahead of her in the race and was concerned about Morehead, she said, because she knew her average time would be around four hours and 10 minutes.
Morehead finished at four hours and five minutes -- four minutes before the first bomb exploded.
"Luckily, I continued to push toward the end even though my calf was cramping and I thought about slowing down," she said of her 43rd marathon race. "I am very thankful that I didn't."

Can a chai-obsessed, meat-loving writer become a green juice-drinking vegan for 21 days in order to detox her body? Find out
To get that answer, my co-worker Sarah suggested a few of us Total Beauty editors follow different detox diets and write about our experiences. And when the idea was a go, I was on the assignment like white on rice. Full disclosure: I'm not a detox newbie. I've tried a couple detox plans in the past and think of them like an old friend you can always count on for a kick in the booty when you need one.
And boy, do I need one right now. Lots of work, not enough time to shop for (and prepare) healthy foods, and a jam-packed social calendar has caused me to rely on caffeine, sugary snacks, and takeout dinners more frequently than I care to admit. I'm hoping "Crazy, Sexy Diet" -- a detox created by cancer survivor Kris Carr -- will lure me back to my healthy-living ways (and OK, get my skin glowing and tighten my tush while I'm at it).

I think I could do this, but the green juices? I just don't think they would go down!

Loving this author! I did a 21-day detox along with mom in 2009. There were pills, juicing, and things to avoid. I had conferences scheduled during the beginning so I wasn't able to be as strict then. I stuck to veggies or the healthiest options available. My mom was busy in the middle when I was more at home! I've done smaller versions and weaned myself off meds since then. :-)

This sounds like a great detox diet. I usually eat pretty healthy, but I'm a carnivore. I don't want to give up meat, but I may try this!

Would love to find a detox buddy. I make my green drink night before and make enough for 2 or 3 days. Have lost 5 pounds and I do not need to lose weight but I feel great and my clothes feel great. I am heading for 80% raw as I type this. Lots of fresh veggies and fruits and greens.

I am curious to see how many folks have been out on the roads for 3 decades + of running. I've been running consistently for just over 31 1/2 yrs and have logged 65,186 miles. I got a late start after smoking for over 10 yrs
currently 64 and doing more miles per month than I have done in several decades. (MAF Training). Over 400 races. 15 marathons 10+ ultras.

Oh, If we get some folksI would like to be President of the Club. Nick
I started running in 1957 when I went out for track. Then ran for the next 10 years. Went into retirement for 5 years and started up again at 30. I have been running ever since (35 years). Right now my motivation is the alternative, the rocking chair.
I will have run continuously for 30 years in April, although I did some running in 1972 and 1973.
I have run 207 marathons and 45 ultras. I probably have less than 50 shorter races.
I will be 60 in February. I belong to many running clubs and have been a member of many more.
I'm 52 and have been running, more or less continuously, since I was 14 and went out for high school track. I say more or less continuously since there have been weeks and even months when I didn't run at all, when I was in my 20s and focused on career, marriage and personal problems. However, when my father died of heart disease when I was 29 (he was 54) I began running several times a week and haven't stopped since. I'm now two years away from being 54 and have done 2 marathons and 2 century bike rides in the past year. Good to go for another 30 years.
I don't know if I qualify. Although I say I've been running for 40+ years, during college I pretty much goofed off since I couldn't play soccer (SJSU was a powerhouse compared to my skill). Then for many more years I ran only to support my soccer habit. For many years I was guy who could play the entire 90 minutes. Late eighties I started doing some road races. Only in the past 5 yrs have I switched over entirely to "straight ahead sports" (swim/bike/run).
......good thread//.....
..I'm 57, been running for 38-years (since age 19)
......one time I figured I did 6,000-miles in my first decade,,,back then it seemed like a lot,,,,
..... I now try to run a Week (168-hours) a year........total, not all at once....
or I'd be REALLY tired......
.......I raced for a decade,
but tore out ankle ligaments,
and noticed all my buddies were quitting due to injuries....
.......so I've been a Fitness Runner since 1985.........pretty much all I want from my running.....
the main thing in long-term running is to know what you Want to Get from your Running...
.........and this group seems to know what they want....
........nice post President Nick////
nothing takes the place of persistence....
My User Profile[/URL" target="_blank">
I started running in 1968 and have been at it ever since, so I'll be coming up on 40 years in 2008. Can't believe it!
I have no idea how many miles I've run, but I've run or been involved on the organization side in over 1000 races.
Running since I was 12
-almost 32 years ago

Ran track and cross-country including nationals in cross-country all through junior high school and high school. Coach produced lots of state and regional champions back then and I hung on for the ride.

Continued the running in college-Division III, but competitive at the regional and national levels and most of all had great fun and made lifetime friends.
Still running with a break of a few months when my son was born in 1994 and then 6 months off for major surgery and radiation in 2002. It's been an almost constant ride and I hope to keep going as long as I can. I still jump into races and try to run decent times, but the real focus is fitness, social therapy and the chance to just be out there doing something I love.
I have no idea how many miles I have logged. I have run 27 marathons since 1986 and many years I get up around 2,500 miles.
Fun thread----haven't really thought about all the years together like this!
june 2008 will be 30 years for me... can i round up from 29.5? !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/wink.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/wink.gif|border=0!
maybe i should print this thread for the next time someone tells me that running is bad for my body?
go boomers go!!!

I am glad you gave me a shout in Hartford! You qualify!
I need to introduce you to Maddymay come Boston time.
I started running in June of 1979, so I still have a year and a half to go, unless I can count the three years of track and cross country from high school in the 1960's.
Nick, I have 28 years and 3 months to go to qualify for the 30+ club, but thanks in large part to your wonderful posts over on the newbie forum, I'm confident that I'll get there - two months after I turn 75. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!
Oh, and I think you need a more significant title than President. How about Grand Pubah for Life?

Gee, how did you know what my wife calls me? JOKE. She mostly refers to me as a pain in the ---. Keep on keepin' on. Nick
I'm 73 and have been running over 34 years. I've run 39 mararthons and probably over 300 races. Now concentrating on half marathons. Nick, great thread. You have my vote for president for life.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi volleyball team dropped a tough loss to UTSA, 3-1 (25-23, 20-25, 25-17, 25-23) Monday evening in front of an all-time record crowd of 1,270 in the Dugan Wellness Center. Ivy Baresh and Brianna Brink led the team in the home opener with 14 kills apiece while Logen Bourque recorded her fourth double-double of the season.
The Islanders (2-5) dropped the first set 25-23 before bouncing back to tie the match with a 25-20 second-set victory. After UTSA (4-4) secured the third set, 25-17, the Islanders rallied back in the fourth set to take a 23-20 lead, but a 5-0 run by the Roadrunners clinched the set, 25-23, and the match.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi out-blocked the Roadrunners 6-2 in the first two sets before UTSA controlled the net in the final two sets, 8-0. Brink tied her match-high with 14 kills while Bourque collected 35 assists and a season-high 15 digs. Hailey King also finished in double digits with 13 digs.
Conference USA Preseason Player of the Year McKenzie Adams led the Roadrunners with a match-high 20 kills on .167 hitting. Dajana Boskovic chipped in 14 kills while the Roadrunners had four players finish in double-figures in digs.
The Islanders fell behind early in the first set, 13-6, but back-to-back kills by Baresh and Brink and an attack error by Adams pulled the Islanders within four. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi rallied back with a 3-0 run to cut the deficit to three late in the set but UTSA stayed out in front by two. The Islanders kept fighting and tied the set at 22-22 on a 3-0 run, but a kill by Adams and an attacking error by the Islanders put the Roadrunners back in front by two. After an Islanders' timeout, the team came within one, but a kill by Boskovic sealed the set 25-23.
The Islanders bounced back in the second set, which featured 10 ties, to win 25-20. Brink had six kills on .333 hitting and Bourque registered eight assists and six digs. The Islanders hit .206 in the set and limited the Roadrunners to just .158 hitting. UTSA opened with a 7-3 lead until the Islanders evened the score at 10-10. Both teams battled back-and-forth with intense rallies until the Islanders took the lead at 20-19 and never looked back. The Islanders capitalized on two straight errors by the Roadrunners to push ahead 22-19 and after a UTSA timeout, the Islanders went on a 2-0 run to build a five-point cushion. After a Roadrunner kill, Brink capped the set with her 10th kill of the match.
After the break, UTSA took the next two sets with eight blocks to win the match. In the third set, the Roadrunners jumped out to an early 7-3 lead and never trailed. The Islanders had a late rally with consecutive kills by Brink and Haley Satterwhite Day to trim UTSA's lead to five. But a 5-2 run by the visitor's put the set away, 25-17, for a 2-1 lead in the match.
In the fourth set, the Islanders got ahead early, 7-2, with kills by Baresh and Bourque but UTSA rallied back to pull within one at 9-8. A pair of attacking errors by the Roadrunners and a kill by Satterwhite built a four-point lead for the home team. The Islanders built a 16-12 lead but a 4-0 run by UTSA evened the score at 16-16. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi stayed out in front until a kill by Kasey Kiefer knotted the score at 18-18. The Islanders looked to pulling away after a kill by Shaquinn Parker at 23-20 but a 5-0 run by UTSA won the set and the match.
The Islanders will head back on the road this weekend for the Hilton Maverick Classic in Arlington, Texas. The team will face Mississippi Valley State on Friday, Sept. 13, before facing the Roadrunners and UT Arlington on Saturday, Sept. 14, for its final three pre-conference matches.

ABUJA, 6 November 2012 – Leaders from the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the World Bank, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the African Development Bank (AfDB) met today to discuss a project to develop Nigeria's agribusiness sector through major investments in infrastructure.
The project entails the introduction of Staple Crop Processing Zones (SCPZs) across the country in order to ensure access to affordable and quality infrastructure. Crop processing zones optimize the value chain of each crop and the end-products by creating clusters of commercial and small-holder farmers for one or more designated crops in the vicinity of processing plants and markets. The creation of the SCPZs will solve existing gaps in infrastructure, services and the commonly used facilities that support on-farm production and the processing of targeted crops.
The FMARD, World Bank, IFAD and AfDB called on UNIDO to make use of its experience with the development of special economic zones in order to design and implement this project.
During the initial stage, a master plan will be devised for six sites and presented to the Ministry by the end of February 2013. Thirteen sites have already been identified across the country to facilitate the processing of key staple commodities, including fisheries, rice, sorghum, horticulture and cassava. Another five sites are under consideration and are likely to be devoted to livestock and palm oil.
The Staple Crop Processing Zones programme will be underwritten by financing from the World Bank (US$300m) and the AfDB (US$200m). Further funding is being prepared by IFAD.
The SCPZs programme is part of Nigeria's Agricultural Transformation Agenda. Facing a stagnant agricultural sector and a growing reliance on food imports, the government has committed to revive and strengthen agriculture value chains for selected crops and agricultural products through partnerships with the private section.
A key component of the transformation of agriculture is the development of agriculture as a business, with a special focus on young entrepreneurial commercial farmers, private sector investments, and the development of agribusinesses (seeds, fertilizers, machinery, storage and logistics, food manufacturing, etc.). The SCPZs will ensure reduction of post-harvest losses, backward integration to use surplus production of agricultural produce, assure markets for farmers and ensure the emergence of more competitive food systems that can produce and deliver food at competitive costs.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS - Jay Berkes has a long road ahead of him, and he doesn't mind a bit.
Berkes, the 24-year-old manager of Rock Gardens Rafting and the Glenwood Canyon Resort, is embarking on the Haiti 100, a 45-day solo cycling trip from Glenwood Springs to New York City, on Oct. 10. He aspires to ride 100 miles a day every day he's not giving speeches and presentations, crossing the country by bicycle to raise $50,000 in support of a grade school in rural Haiti affected by the latest natural disaster to hit the country. His trip will total somewhere around 2,600 miles.
"They were attempting to rebuild stuff after the 2010 earthquake," he said. "Another earthquake just obliterated what they had done."
As a certified emergency medical technician, Berkes was last in Haiti in early October 2011, working in a medical clinic to help the sick, injured and women giving birth.
"The amount of need there is still really high," he said. "It's just such a different situation."
Berkes was motivated to help in Haiti after working as an EMT in the emergency room at a hospital in New Orleans. He said it was not uncommon to work in areas of Haiti without electricity and proper sanitary conditions for health care.
Along with providing much-needed health care assistance, Berkes worked at a struggling grade school, part of H.E.L.P. Incorporated, a community-based medical and educational organization. Berkes said H.E.L.P. has been suffering since the 2010 earthquake due to subsequent smaller earthquakes and the recent hurricanes. For an organization that depends on donors, a natural disaster (or three) can deplete the donation pool faster than usual, and it's tough to replenish it. Right now, the lack of funds - and influx of new students - means the school has shut down. Hopefully, it's temporary, Berkes said, because it provides students their one meal a day, medications and a daily vitamin.
"For the population H.E.L.P. Inc. serves, this means school children between the ages of 5-15 will not be attending classes for the 2012-2013 school year," he said. "They are working hard to get school open for kids they do have."
Berkes said he left his work with H.E.L.P. in 2011 feeling "really proud to be working with them," he said, adding that the director chooses staff that not only delivers a product, but understands the community it serves - sometimes, because they're a part of it. He worked for other organizations down there, and though he says they're all contributing, he was particularly impressed by H.E.L.P.
Berkes' Haiti 100 ride will raise funds, as well as awareness, for the continuing need in the Republic of Haiti.
"In riding my bike from here to New York City, my goal is to ride 100 miles a day and talk with a lot of churches, universities and nonprofits, doing presentations," Berkes said. "The bicycle ride, the talks, the point is to get the school operational again. And increase exposure to universal primary education in places like Haiti."
Berkes is already getting questions from potential supporters, who ask why they should help a small school in a third-world country. His response is that education is the foundation for pulling a place like Haiti out of third-world status.
"My goal on this speaking tour is (to shed light on) how important education is to building up a country and a thriving economy," he said. "It's about building a generation of children who are socially responsible individuals, respectable and responsible for what their community can be. Haiti is very fractured on that level."
Berkes, who received his undergraduate degree from Illinois State University in biology and molecular genetics, plans to revisit his alma mater as well as other schools in the area. The past three years has been a break before medical school, which he filled with humanitarian work and summers as a raft guide and manager.
"I'm applying for school now," he said. "It's always been kind of my game plan to become a doctor."
During his 45-day bike ride, Berkes will also revisit his memories of a biking accident.
"Ironically enough, this is the longest I will have gone on my bike. I haven't been on my bike in a long time," he said. "In college, I got hit by a car and shattered my wrist. I actually have an underlying fear associated with riding I'll be addressing."
Berkes' halfway point of the trip will be his hometown of Danville, Ill., where he will visit his parents.
"They think I'm crazy but they support it," he said. "I think I've desensitized them enough over the last four or five years that they're OK with it."
He has other motivation to pedal the bike, too. The Appalachian Mountains will likely be snowy and icy when he arrives there, so he wants to push ahead and get through the eastern barrier as early as he can. He also has a concert in Kansas City he wants to attend, Balmorhea, on Oct. 19.
Support from parents, friends, family and resort owners Kevin and Kathy Schneider will help Berkes hit his goal of raising $50,000 for the school in Haiti he loves.
"That will be a really cool Christmas present for the school and the school children," he said.
On Saturday, Oct. 6, the resort will send off Berkes with the Gear Up for Haiti fundraising event from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with 100 percent of the proceeds from activity participation going to support the school.
"I'm completely self-supported on this trip, so it's going to be an exciting day," he said. "The owners here have been really, really generous. Without these emergency funds, H.E.L.P. Inc. will not be able to regain the self-sustaining model of service provision it has maintained for over 50,000 impoverished Haitians."

How to Fix a Leaky Faucet: Rotary-Ball Type
Gather your materials, turn off the water, and empty the pipes.
You'll need a hex wrench, screwdriver, silicone grease, and utility knife as well as a repair kit for your brand of faucet (which includes O-rings, seats, and springs) and a replacement faucet ball, if needed. Shut off the water under the sink, and let the faucet run until water stops.


text: Meticulously researched and with sense of wonder rivaling any alien world sf out there despite that it stays on Earth in the Maya world of the 660's, The Sacrifice Game by Brian D'Amato is out today; here is my FBC review: INTRODUCTION: In 2009, Brian D'Amato published the superb In the Courts of the Sun first in an announced trilogy called The Sacrifice Game. The novel was a combination of near-future extrapolations, time travel and a wonderful recreation of the Maya world of the 7th century, all narrated by unlikely hero Jed de Landa, or more precisely by Jed 1 and Jed 2 as the novel uses a form of time travel which leads to an instance of the consciousness of Jed to be time shifted to the brain of Chacal, a star Maya ball player of the Harpy clan of Ix. Here is my description of Jed in the FBC review: "born in 1974 and displaced from his native Guatemalan village by military action, Jed is taken as a young age to the US and grows up in foster care in Utah, exhibiting physical frailty since he suffers from hemophilia so any wound or cut is potentially fatal, while showing great mental agility especially in fast numerical computations and ability to play games of skill and chance". I was entranced by the novel and its fascinating narrator and I kept looking for the second book in 2010, 2011 and then sort of forgot about it. Imagine my surprise to recently discover that the 2nd Jed de Landa novel that bears the trilogy title, The Sacrifice Game will be published on July 5. As the blurb of the novel includes a major spoiler for the ending of In the Courts of the Sun, I will not include it here just in case you have not read that but are intrigued by the above and want to pick it first, but I will note that The Sacrifice Game starts precisely where the earlier volume ends and the rest of the blurb is both true and misleading in the sense that there is no more "Jed", but Jed 1 and Jed 2 who diverged markedly - to say the least - in the first volume and some of the blurb refers to one, some to the other... OVERVIEW/ANALYSIS: "Sometimes—at times like this, I'd say, especially—one might as well just go with the cliché: I was crushed. Yes, it'd be nice to come up with a more clever word than crushed, but really, why bother? Crushed pretty well does the job. What surprised even me, though, was how much I wasn't crushed just because I was a lazy slob and I'd thought I could relax. It was that I—even I—was rather annoyed, in fact more than annoyed, in fact, let's say again, crushed—that the world was still doomed. And I even realized that I cared about it in the general sense, not just personally, that even if I died back here from my neuroblastomas or in a ball game or by the flint dagger or the wooden sword or whatever, even if I didn't get back to the thirteenth b'aktun to see Marena and the gang and catch the next season of Game of Thrones, I still wanted the good old crazy ratty loathsome ridiculous old world to keep rolling on. Okay. Look. We can do this, I thought...." The Sacrifice Game is even badder, crazier and more explicit and brutal than In the Courts of the Sun - which was not tame by any stretch - as it is almost all narrated in the same unforgettable voice of Jed de Landa, though Jed 2, the 660's Maya one and to whom the stream of consciousness musings above belong, carries on for most of the book. Structurally, The Sacrifice Game starts with Jed 1 in the modern world after his momentous decision at the end of the last book and deals with its implementation and a few consequences, but soon it moves to the Maya world where the book just explodes as it gets even better than In the Courts of the Sun with unbounded sense of wonder, meticulous research and all around inventiveness that matches anything I've read in sf set on an alien world; of course here we are still on Earth, but in a civilization where the author hits the sweet spot in the mixture of alien and familiar in describing it: "A brace of bearers brought in the white-wrapped ball Hun Xoc had brought back from 31 Courts, holding the too-potent bundle with wooden hands, and tied it to the service cord. An umpire inspected the knot, signaled, and the ball was hoisted up, hanging above the central marker stone. "Now, One, Two, Four, Five, Seven, Nine, Thirteen," the Magister Ludi chanted, switching from the second-person plural imperative to the apostrophic tense you used only when speaking to gods, "Now Twenty, Fifty-Two, Two Hundred Sixty, O Night, O Wind, O Day, O Rain, O Zero, Now, guests, inspect 2 Creeper's blood-washed head." 2 Creeper had been the greatest Ixian ballplayer in living memory, but he'd sacrificed himself thirty-nine solar years ago after an ankle injury. The Ball had been wound of white rubber around 2 Creeper's skull as a hollow center—to increase the bounce—and then baked black and studded with painted thorns, like little nails. Finally the ball had been purified in two kinds of blood and then washed in original water boiled over the offering fires of both houses' grandfathers-houses." Lady Koh, ultimate Sacrifice Game player of the age and big time politician to boot, 2 Jeweled Skull, leader of the Harpy clan in Ix, second most powerful man there, adoptive father to Jed/Chacal, currently in the contest of his life with 9 Fanged Hummingbird, the Ocelot clan supremo of Ix, Hun Xoc, son of 2JS, lead ball player of the Harpies team and Jed's main adviser/friend, 1 Gila, right hand man of Lady Koh and war leader of her followers are back, while of course quite a few new Mayan characters appear. As excerpted above there is one unforgettable game of hipball for the fate of Ix and by extension, our heroes and life as we know it, not to speak of many other goodies which I do not want to spoil for you... There are quite a few twists and turns and the author manages a rare feat as first person narration goes; while it would be a major spoiler to talk about it in detail, I am sure any attentive reader will observe it by the end of the novel. The last few chapters that take place back in the modern world have a thriller-ish feel to them - after all the book is set in 2012 close to 12-21-12 and the race to avoid the ultimate "doomster" is the main storyline in the contemporary part of the novel. The Sacrifice Game has another surprising but fitting ending giving the book the feel of a complete experience which also leaves one quite in the dark about where the series will go next as it's supposed to be a trilogy. Overall The Sacrifice Game - top 25 novel of 2012 and currently in the number two slot - came with very high expectations and I was really surprised by how effortlessly it blew past them and offered the most sensual and visual reading experience of the year for me.

Across the United States, there are vital arts, music and sports programs that are having their budgets cut drastically due to the lack of funding.
Midway Motors wants McPherson youth to experience valuable opportunities to expand their knowledge and diversify their interests, as well as to have a little fun.
Ford Motor Company wants to keep these opportunities available for local students at McPherson High School. Therefore, it is bringing the Drive 4 UR School program to McPherson in an effort to raise $6,000 for the McPherson High School Booster Club.
For every person who takes the wheel and test drives a new Ford vehicle from 3 to 9 p.m. today at the McPherson College Stadium, Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to the Booster Club.
Three hundred drivers are needed to receive the maximum donation of $6,000. Midway Motors has decided to match the funds, if the goal of 300 drivers is met.
This is a chance for MHS to earn $12,000. Whether you have a child at the high school level or not, the community need your help.
Participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver's license. There is a limit of one-test drive per household. All test drives will last about 7-10 minutes, with no sales pitch being given.
After the drive, designate your money to go to the sport of your choice, orchestra, band or choir.
Free hotdogs will be provided by the Booster Club after your test drive.

Ausone: JJ Buckley and the Last Crusade
Post by Neil Mechanic | April 8th, 2011
For many, Saint Emilion (and the neighboring village of Pomerol) is the "Holy Grail" for merlot and cabernet franc, as there is nowhere else these two varietals reach such levels of greatness. Saint Émilion sits on the right bank of the Dordogne River and is dotted with Romanesque churches and ruins stretching along the narrow cobblestone streets. Walking through the village, the Romans' involvement is evident in the architecture and the limestone terraced vineyards that dot the landscape.
Thus, our visit to Château Ausone, one of two grand cru classé estates, was more than just a tasting…it was a historical and, dare I say, holy experience! In fact, the estate's chapel (Chapelle de la Madeleine) and its underground rotunda are dedicated to Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus' most infamous disciples. With so much to see, it was like being in a museum that just happens to make one of the greatest wines in the world!
On our visit, we had the pleasure of meeting Pauline Vauthier, daughter of Alain Vauthier, owner and general manager of the estate. The Vauthiers have owned the property since the early 1920's and purchased other properties in the 1950s and 60s. Therefore, the JJB staff had the opportunity to taste the two wines of Ausone, as well as the Vauthier portfolio of other Right Bank estates, including Château Simard, Château Fonbel, and Moulin St. Georges.
Of all the lineups that we tasted in both Saint Émilion and Pomerol, Ausone displayed a streak of elegance and balance that permeated my mouth for minutes after tasting. The bold fruit spectrum of crushed blackberry and cassis is tempered by precision-like minerality and wet stone. The aromatics of violet and other florals on both the "baby" Ausone (La Chapelle d'Ausone) and the Ausone were gorgeous…an ethereal experience beyond words. Partly due to great winemaking (Michel Rolland is the consulting enologist), the major factor is the physical relation between the vines and the limestone plateau where Ausone is situated.
When visiting the property, you can't help but notice the limestone plateau that sits underneath the village center. But there is no better advantage point to experience this unique sub-strata than by taking the tour of the estate's catacomb caves ("Les Caves d'Ausone"). We had the honor of taking a quick tour with proprietor Alain Vauthier and realized another defining point for why Ausone is so great—perfect cellaring conditions.
Hands down, this was the most amazing cellar that I have visited in all of Western Europe. The caves were constructed back in the 4th century as a limestone quarry of sorts and there are three sections underneath the Château. The Ausone quarries bespeak five centuries of history and the deep bond between craftsmen and stone, which we pondered walking through these dark caverns full of hibernating bats, shell fossils enshrined in the rock and even mushroom cultivation. It was the highlight of our visit.
Of course, the wines were spectacular, too. Between the amazing 2010 Ausone bottling and walking through this "holy land," I was awestruck, to say the least!

The Carnival cruise line disabled by a fire and left floating for days, stinking of shit and piss, has reached a new level of horror as the towline taking it to Alabama—where its passengers would, finally, be able to disembark and go home—broke, leaving them floating once more in the Gulf of Mexico, 30 miles from shore. It's been fixed, and the ship is moving again—but as these images show, it's still not pretty.
Cruise passengers (there are 4,200 on board) had already formed what the Daily Mail describes, delightedly, as "shanty towns" on deck, avoiding the cabins, which were still hot and smelled like smoke from Sunday's fire. They—the cabins—also smelled like urine and feces, thanks to backed-up toilets; the water conditions are too rough to evacuate more than the one woman who needed emergency dialysis treatment. It sounds like hell:
By Tuesday night, passengers were sending messages about the stench from feces and urine and dwindling food supplies. Mattresses had been hauled to hallways and the deck where sleeping was a bit cooler. Tension and fear were running high. On Thursday, Julie Hair called her husband from the ship to report that their 12-year-old daughter had Skittles candy for breakfast and that she ate cold waffles. The smell on board "was horrendous," she said. "We thought the toilet was flushing today, but the water was coming up."
Actually, sounds kind of like living in a college dorm.

LANSING (WILX)-- A 23-year-old man is dead, and two others injured after a shooting in Lansing early Monday morning .
Police say Marcus E. Basey II of Lansing died shortly after being transported to a local hospital for a single gunshot wound to the chest.
The shooting occurred at 2:51 am, Monday, on the 3200 block of West Holmes Road.
The other two victims, a 42-year old female from Lansing and a 20 year-old male also from Lansing had non-life threatening gunshot wounds.
Witness Ashley Page says Basey was visiting for a family get-together when another group of people came up and started fighting them. Approximately a dozen people were involved in the fight before it escalated to a shooting. Page says she saw Basey trying to defend his cousin when someone pulled out a gun.
"He didn't have any beef with these people. The dude that killed him, they don't even know each other," said Page.
After Basey was shot in the chest Page tried to help him even though she didn't know him. She says she tried putting pressure on the wound until friends took him to a local hospital.
"I just kept talking to him and said keep breathing. I just kept telling him he'll be all right," said Page.
Police do not have a suspect in custody, or murder weapon at this time.
Captain Jim Kraus with the Lansing Police Department says when they arrived on scene Basey had already been taken to the hospital, but the two other victims had been left. The two other victims are not in serious condition, but are still in the hospital at this time. They were family members of Basey according to Page.
"With the neighborhood going down the way it has in the last three years something like this was bound to happen," said neighbor Shaunda Quinney-Embry.
The homicide has left neighbors like Quinney-Embry not feeling safe anymore; worrying it might happen as as the block has become a hot-spot for criminal activity.
"Pray for the families. We just need it to stop, because I have kids out here and I don't want it to happen to them," said Quinney-Embry.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Detective Sergeant Christopher Baldwin at (517) 483-6846.

DALLAS, Texas - New from the fertile and decidedly eclectic mind of Rick Fairless comes the Ovation wheel, the latest edition to the RF Custom P&A lineup.
According to Fairless, the Ovation is a spun forged billet aluminum wheel that's made in the U.S.A.
About that design?
"The design came from my goofy mind. I designed the wheel because I wanted something with holes in it," Fairless says. "I didn't just want round holes, I wanted a combination of round and oval holes. I'm really happy with the way this wheel came out."
The Ovation is available in sizes 16 in. and 26 in., and has fitment for all Harley-Davidson and Victory Motorcycles models.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, March 7, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- For months, the community has been asking, "Where's the A?" But today they're asking, "Where's the ASU?"
They're referring to pictures that were published in a GRU admissions view book. The pictures were of some ASU sports teams, but their jerseys were doctored so that "Augusta State" was wiped off.
"I just see our identity is gone," one student said.
Hurt, frustrated and mad -- these are just some of the emotions ASU students expressed after seeing the pictures in a new GRU brochure.
"That it's whited out, I think that's ridiculous, and I hate it," sophomore Lindsey Hudson said.
"It kinda disturbs me. To bring people to their school? Is this illegal?" freshman Bryan Harris asked jokingly.
It's not illegal, but you can tell these pictures were doctored.
The words "Augusta State" are supposed to be on the basketball jersey, and the ASU logo has been erased from many of the golf hats.
Many ASU students say seeing these pictures is another slap in the face, some even saying it makes them feel like they never even existed.
"Taking the name off is just like killing our identity pretty much. It's saying we're not there. ASU never existed is almost like what it's saying," one student said.
In a memo from Dr. Ricardo Azziz, the GRU president takes the blame saying, "we messed up!" Later, he writes, "mistakes will and do happen."
Many students say that's not good enough.
"I think that he's full of bologna. I mean, you can't mistakenly wipe the name off the jerseys. If it was a mistake, then someone's face would have been erased," Hudson said.
"This is throwing gasoline on a fire. He didn't take blame for anything. Look through that entire memo that is supposed to be apologetic and look for the word sorry or apologize. It's not there," ASU alumni Austin Rhodes said.
What it does say, "We must finalize our athletic logos and apparel for this coming season -- ensuring Augusta is consistently displayed on them."
In the eyes of skeptical students, only time will tell.
Dr. Azziz did say the admission books have been removed from use. While some feel Azziz did not apologize, GRU's vice provost did.
He sent out a statement saying, "This turned out to be an error in judgment, and for that, I apologize to the Augusta community, the athletes, their families, university supporters and the institution."

Experts Question Legality of Bergdahl Swap
U.S. lawmakers contend that the Obama administration violated the law when it exchanged Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for five Taliban detainees without telling Congress beforehand. The White House disagrees. While expressing remorse about not alerting lawmakers, the Obama administration has insisted it's on solid legal footing.
So who's right?
Legal experts interviewed by Law Blog say the White House is on shakier ground. Here's why.
The 2014 National Defense Authorization Act — specifically Section 1035 — requires the president to give a 30-day notification to Congress before releasing detainees from Guantanamo. The Obama administration, however, says the law isn't clear cut. Here's how NSC spokesperson Caitlin Hayden explained it in a statement Tuesday:
Because such interference would significantly alter the balance between Congress and the President, and could even raise constitutional concerns, we believe it is fair to conclude that Congress did not intend that the Administration would be barred from taking the action it did in these circumstances.
That line of argument came as a surprise to legal experts, who say they expected that the White House would justify keeping Congress out of the loop based on the president's commander-in-chief powers under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.
Instead, the Obama administration leaned on its understanding of congressional intent.
By hanging it on assumptions about what Congress intended, the White House has drawn itself into a weaker argument, says Lawrence Rosenthal, a former federal prosecutor who now teaches constitutional law at Chapman University in California.
It's one thing to challenge Congress's authority to require the president to give notice, a hotly disputed claim among constitutional law professors.
But it's another to argue that Congress meant for the notice requirement to be optional. That line of reasoning is a stretch, say law professors, making it even harder to defend the administration's position.
The Obama administration has "backed themselves into a corner with regard to the legal arguments," University of Texas law professor Sanford V. Levinson told Law Blog.
More In Bowe Bergdahl
- White House Labels Taliban 'Armed Insurgency,' Not Terrorists
- Sgt. Bergdahl Still Awaiting General's Decision on His Case
- 7 Revelations in Leon Panetta's New Book
- U.S. and Israel Split Over Qatar's Role in a Ceasefire
- Bowe Bergdahl Has Refused to Speak to Parents
- POW/MIA Group Draws Fire Over Bergdahl Support
Mr. Rosenthal says it's quite telling that Section 1035 makes no mention of a waiver option, while the same statute "is littered with provisions" empowering the president or other executive branch officials to waive restrictions.
He counted 57 such waiver provisions scattered throughout the law. For example, the statute requires that contracts to develop a new generation of anti-surface warfare weapons must follow competitive bidding rules. But then right below in the next, it says that the Secretary of Defense may waive that requirement in the interest of national security.
The absence of similar waiver language in Section 1035 "makes clear that Congress made notice mandatory," said Mr. Rosenthal, who notes that no member of Congress has asserted otherwise.
And even if the White House were to fall back on a constitutional argument about its commander-in-chief powers, it would seem to contradict the legal position adopted by the president's own lawyers.
In the last week of the Bush administration, Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel repudiated controversial opinions it drafted years earlier — ones that critics referred to as the "torture memos" — that argued that Congress lacks the power to regulate the interrogation and treatment of wartime prisoners.
A January 2009 memo — one that doesn't appear to have ever been retracted by the Obama administration — confirmed Congress's authority in that area.
That could explain why the Obama administration hasn't more aggressively asserted those powers in the wake of the Bergdahl controversy, Mr. Rosenthal said. "They can't articulate an Article II argument because they rejected it," he said.

Himmler's speeches of 6 October 1943 and 5 and 24 May 1944
85. It was common ground that in these speeches Himmler was speaking with remarkable frankness about the murder of the Jews and that, with effect from October 1943, it had to be conceded that Hitler cannot have been ignorant of the extermination programme. In the second speech, referring to the Jewish question, Himmler referred to carrying out "the soldierly order" and in the third speech to "orders" and to his "sense of duty". The respondents' case was that the speeches provided powerful evidence that Hitler ordered that the extermination of the Jews should take place. In Hitler's War (1977), the applicant commented on the reference to a "Fuhrer Order" in the speech of 5 May and stated that "there is reason to doubt that he [Himmler] showed this passage to his Fuhrer". The judge described this suggestion as "fanciful" and regarded the absence of any mention of the speech in Hitler's War (1991) as "another culpable omission". We agree with the judge's conclusions on this issue.

With new leaders controlling the House of Representatives, and Democrats holding a narrower majority in the Senate, Republicans will be looking to deliver on promises to cut government spending and to repeal or revise what they call "Obamacare." This will not be an easy task, as many provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are highly popular, including closing the doughnut hole in the Medicare drug benefit, requiring insurers to cover patients with pre-existing conditions, and providing tax credits for small businesses purchasing employee coverage. There's broad support for approving similar versions of biotechnology therapies that will be more affordable for patients, a provision championed by consumers and biopharmaceutical manufacturers alike.
To satisfy candidates who ran successfully against Obamacare, the new House leaders are gearing up for a vote to repeal healthcare reform early next year. This move would largely be a symbolic gesture because it's unlikely to pass the Senate or override Obama's veto pen. Drug companies and insurers are anxious to extend coverage to the 30 million uninsured Americans in order to expand markets, and the individual mandate is key to achieving this goal; without some penalty for being uninsured, consumers will wait until they are sick to purchase health insurance, and premiums will rise. The worst-case scenario for biopharmaceutical manufacturers is that the promised expansion in healthcare coverage evaporates, leaving companies with added fees and rebates, and considerable uncertainty about reimbursement for new therapies that are costly to develop.

I think Bale wIll be happy to stay Alan in spite of all the underhand tapping up by unreal madrid if not i hope D Levy gets maximum buck's for him and regardless if he goes or stays we get some players in to move us on and become less reliant on one individual.Maybe just maybe if D Levy had spent some money in january and Spurs had got the two targets AVB was after we would have champions league to look forward to therefore be less prone to madrid's tactics.Gareth has plenty of time to make his fortune in the future.

I think Spurs will be unable to snub the amount of cash being offered for Bale and would arguably be foolish to anyway. My beloved and most highly regarded Arsenal have had to contend with every club in the world salivating over the squad year on year and have still, through great management skills and exceptional character, bravely fought their way to the biggest competition in club football with unnerving regularity.
Perhaps we should all raise a glass to the genius of Arsene Wenger and praise the rare talent that he is and the rare talent that he so expertly nurtures?
Whose buying?
No one disputing Wenger's class, Fab, certainly not me. I'm just off the phone to him and he told me that he wants Bale, but Gareth unfortunately wants to go to a big club.
The premier's a great league although chocker block with overseas players. If he goes I'd like to see how he progresses in Spain personally. He could turn out to be our best ever export on the world stage. Maybe with a come back clause in his contract to the Lane.
Andy Carroll was in my local last night, a bit excited about a late move from Spurs to get him signed up. The Magpies want him back for next to nowt but you guys are making £15 million noises---what do you reckon.

as soon as i enter any public place, people offer me cigarrettes, alcohol, weed, and anything else that will cripple their quickness. as soon as i say "No, thanks i'm not into that". all hell breaks loose. everytime.
the whole place is in my face. "oh i see, youre too good.". bullshit.
can I do that and get away with it? no.
there is no other arguement where a person can do this without looking like an asshole.
1. 'wanna go to this cult rally with me"
2. no thanks i'm not into that.
3. 'oh i see, youre just too fucking good for us huh"
i hate that shit.

A Must Read - Share
Google chairman Eric Schmidt plans to sell just under half his stake in the company, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission filing late Friday. Schmidt owns 7.6 million shares of Google stock and plans to sell about 3.2 million shares of those shares over time, through a series of planned transactions. At today's share price of $785, that would put about $2.5 billion in his pocket, though obviously Schmidt's actual proceeds will vary. Schmidt currently owns 2.3% of Google's outstanding shares and has 8.2% of the voting power. That's because he owns both

WTB Kid Kart for 6 year old first time karter
by Shawn Howell » Wed Oct 24, 2007 5:45 pm
Our 6 year old boy caught the fever and wants to start karting. We are looking for a used Kid Kart with a Comer. It doesn't need to be fancy, fast or in great shape but it must be SAFE. I'd prefer to buy a package (suit, spares, neck brace etc) but will consider piecing together our own package. Thanks

Got Will his kart and now I need to be sure he's outfitted properly. We have purchased a new helmet but we still need to get him: suit, gloves, neck brace and probably pedal extensions. He's 6 and a little short for his age (size of a 5 year old). Please let me know if you have an of the items you'd like to sell.
Thanks all
Thanks all
