Hi all! New runner here- starting week 6 of couch 2 5k tomorrow!
I am curious about how new runners decide when to "power through" pain and when to rest? I am reasonably fit (always worked out, but never good at running,) and I've found myself in a decent amount of joint pain since I began running 5 weeks ago. I do take the rest days, but the pain seems to be persistant regardless. I've never experienced this kind of pain before- I'm used to sore muscles but this is more of the "omg its killing my kneed to walk down stairs" kind of thing. To top it off, my boyfriend is one of those people who has always run and never trained, so he can't offer me much advice.
I'm the type to work through injuries even if it's not the best, but I'm wondering if I'll be causing myself long-term joint-related issues. Any advice on when you KNOW it's time to stop? Also, before anyone asks, i do light weight training and my legs are actually very muscular (if not lean) so I don't think it's an issue to being too weak, more likely an issue of bad form...
Well you said you're following c25k so I'm assuming you're not trying to do too much too soon. The next thing I would check is what shoes you're running in. A good pair of running shoes, preferably from an actual running store that will evaluate your gait, are a must. If you decided to start c25k and just threw on whatever gym shoes you had laying around, that's got bad news written all over it.
Is your pain while you are running, as well as after?
When you are a new runner it would be best not to power through the pain. You need to buildup the running muscles, which are different than the muscles you use when you weight lift. I have always had very strong legs, but that only helped a little bit when I started running.
When I feel something's not right during a run, I slow down and see if it works itself out. One day (within the last month) I went out a half mile and the tendon behind my knee hurt. I stopped, massaged it, walked for a half mile, then ran 5 miles as if nothing had happened. It's hard to say what you should do. Obviously, listen to your body. If you need an extra day to rest, take it. It's better to go slow, than to have a injury that will keep you from running.
If you are doing light weight training for your legs, I will tell you that I usually work my legs the morning after I run. I can adjust the weights much easier than I can adjust my run.
If it hurts to walk down the stairs after running, you should reduce either your mileage and/or pace or add an extra day of rest, then slowly build it back up.
Are you warming up before running and stretching after? If you are sore use ice or compression sleeves/socks right after running. Limit Advil, etc. to those really bad days.
Jeb's right about the shoes. Do you have good running shoes? When I started running I pronated, and had stablity shoes. I hated those shoes (and running) at that time. I now have comfortable neutral shoes and my running improved a lot. Weightlifting helped me with my stability issue.
Whether you're a new runner or an experienced runner, pain in a joint either during or after running is not normal. Trying to power through the pain is a good way to turn an acute injury into a chronic one. The classic RICE treatment (rest, ice, compression, elevation) is usually helpful in the short term, but you need to address and solve the root cause of the pain. Otherwise you can get into a cycle of frustration where you rest for a while but the pain returns as soon as you start running again. Knee pain can have a large number of causes, but most of them are either related to bad biomechanics (overpronation, underpronation, overstriding, etc.) or to training errors (running on crowned surfaces, doing too much too soon, too much speedwork, too many hills, etc.)

The unsavoury practice of growing Irish people by grafting newborns to the backs of horses is coming under increasing pressure from human rights groups. The notorious method is already prevalent in Ireland as the cost of child-rearing is reduced to the price of two operations and some hay for the horse, but there are fears the precarious nature of the Irish economy will drive more families into the shady practice.
The Irish government voiced concerns that making the practice illegal would simply drive desperate families into the arms of unscrupulous back-street veterinaries who might graft children to less viable animals like pigs, goats and geese, which may in turn lead to feelings of inadequacy in later life.
A UN spokesman announcing the ban said. "We sympathise to a degree with parents just wanting to cut the costs of raising children, but the whole thing is sick enough without dressing the parasitic children in silky pyjamas, forcing the horses round an obstacle course and betting on the outcome. This is not what civilisation is about."
Welsh rugby link: Stephen Jones owns a horse, but it is not certain whether it has an Irish growth.

SCOOBA – A walk-off, ninth-inning grand slam by Nick Brooks in the first game followed by a combined no-hit pitching performance from Tyler Odom and KC Abney in the nightcap lifted the East Mississippi Community College Lions to a doubleheader sweep, 12-8 and 6-0, over rival East Central Community College during chilly Friday night baseball action at EMCC's Gerald Poole Field.
In a scheduled nine-inning contest, the opener featured multiple momentum swings over the final three dramatic innings before Brooks' pinch-hit, game-winning slam broke an 8-8 tie in the bottom of the ninth inning.
After the Lions staked starting pitcher Smokey Ethridge to an early 4-0 lead through three innings, the visiting Warriors added solo tallies in the fourth, fifth and sixth frames to cut the deficit to 5-3 heading into the seventh inning. That's when EMCC ran into some defensive difficulties, allowing three unearned runs in the seventh and two more in the eighth to fall behind 8-7.
In the bottom of the eighth, Ole Miss transfer and former Hamilton High School standout Chase Reeves tied the game at 8-8 with his first home run as an EMCC Lion. The one-out solo blast to right field came off ECCC southpaw Brady McBride.
Following a scoreless top of the ninth for East Central courtesy of EMCC freshman closer Brock McKnight, the Lions went to work in the bottom half of the frame. A one-out walk to pinch-hitter Fredrico Moody was followed by a LeDarious Clark single and an intentional walk to Trent Waddell to load the bases. Late-game defensive replacement Ross Moore then tapped back to the mound forcing out pinch-runner Landon Meadows at the plate to set up the climactic final at-bat of the game.
Making just his 13th plate appearance of the year, Brooks, a versatile freshman pitcher/infielder/outfielder from Starkville High School, coaxed a full count with two outs and the bases still loaded before depositing Fernando Gonzalez's delivery over the right-field fence for the dramatic game-ending conclusion.
Offensively in the opener, Odom, who would start on the mound in the nightcap, went 3-for-3 at the plate with a pair of walks. Reeves and Clark added two hits apiece to lead the Lions' nine-hit team effort.
In relief of Ethridge and Tyler Jones, McKnight picked up his team-best third win of the year by going the final 2.1 innings. McKnight, a Kosciusko High School product, also has four saves on the season to now have a hand in seven of EMCC's nine victories this season.
The adrenaline and contrasting emotions from the opening contest certainly seemed to carry over into the nightcap. The home-standing Lions batted around in the opening frame, plating five runs on five hits off ECCC starting pitcher Blake Dubuisson. Clark, a former all-state performer out of Southeast Lauderdale High School, opened the second game with a double to left-center field. Waddell, from Tuscaloosa's Northridge High School, promptly followed with his team-leading second home run of the year. Later in the inning, freshman infielders Drew Standland and Brad Swede knocked in runs on the heels of back-to-back singles by Colton Caver and Odom and a walk to Brooks.
That's all the offense the Lions would require in the second game, as the combined pitching efforts of Odom and Abney completely shut down the Warrior bats during the nightcap. Odom, from Oak Grove High School, tossed the first three innings with a pair of strikeouts and no walks, while Abney, a Memphis native, went the final four frames, fanning four and walking one, to earn the save. The pair of right-handers faced just 24 ECCC batters in the combined seven-inning pitching gem, with only two Warrior base runners managing to get into scoring position during the contest.
At the plate in the nightcap, the Lions evenly distributed seven hits throughout the lineup. Waddell's two-run homer in the first was the big blow for the winners. Odom, who recorded his first collegiate victory, added his fourth hit of the day with a single during EMCC's five-run first inning.
With their second doubleheader sweep of the season, head coach Chris Rose's EMCC Lions are 9-7 on the year and will next travel to Wesson to take on host Copiah-Lincoln Community College and Kellogg Community College, out of Michigan, Wednesday (March 6) at Sullivan Field on the Co-Lin campus.

Fair Warning: It's a Fox News article. If you can't handle that, then this isn't your thread! http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/11/12/teen-rallies-social-media-effort-to-support-papa-john-others-amid-liberal/?intcmp=trending
For those of you still reading, I'm interested in little more than the facts:
1) Obamacare forces companies, by law, to provide health insurance, at least to some degree, to their employees, if they have over 50 full time employees.
2) This will cost large companies (like this pizza co) millions.
3) In response, the companies announce that they may need to cut employee's hours to cope with the added costs of providing insurance.
4) Liberals protest these companies.
My beef with all of this is, what did the liberals think was going to happen? Where are these companies getting the money, if not from INCREASING the price of the goods, DECREASING the pay rate of employees, or DECREASING the hours the employees have? All three of these equal a drain on the economy. How long before liberals realize that neither companies nor government have magical pockets full of money they refuse to share with anybody?

Beware the (insert Bach organ chords here) GRAVEYARD SHIFT
True, most of us work days. But the more of a 24-hour society we become, the more of us will be working nights. Already, there are an estimated — oh, millions; I'd have to check my story to see if I included that bit of info.
Speaking of my story…a couple of weeks ago, my beloved and esteemed editor Mike Merschel hoofed it over to my desk and suggested writing a story on the graveyard shift. Any other time of the year but Halloween, it might be called the night shift. But hey, we are all about the hooks, all about the holidays.
Thus, my story was born. We'd both heard of the dangers inherent with working odd hours — problems such as obesity and diabetes. So I called people from Baylor Medical Center at Dallas Sleep Lab, as well as Well First Sleep.
They were inordinately helpful, as were those at Methodist Richardson Medical Center and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.
Click here to read the story. Oh, and take comfort in the fact that the night-shift cooties don't happen to everyone — just to about 20 percent of you guys.

The Div. 5A, No. 10 Immanuel Christian girls basketball team has now broken the 10-win mark for the first time since the 2005-2006 season.
The Crusaders beat Big Pine 51-33 Tuesday in the Kerr McGee Center to move their season-high winning streak to six games and now are beginning to put themselves in the conversation with the all-time great ICS girls teams.
"We have a chance to tie the school's all-time best wins record of 17 if we can win the rest of our games this season," ICS Coach Bob Smith said. "We're looking forward to playing Thursday and Friday as we gear up for the playoffs."
Against the Warriors, ICS played an excellent second half to get the win, but the first half was closely contested.
Big Pine (3-7, 1-5 Hi-Lo) center/forward Sheyanne Wilder kept the Warriors in the ball game during the first two frames. She had six points, three blocks and seven rebounds by the intermission to lead her team.
Wilder even played some point guard in dribbling the ball all the way down the floor on some fastbreak opportunities, which gave ICS some early issues.
"Sheyanne is one of the top-notch players in the league," Smith said. "She was strictly a high-post player last year and we had some defenses to stop her from that spot, but she's improved. She has a nice shot and she's used to seeing double and triple teams."
With Wilder playing well, the Crusaders (11-4, 4-1 Hi-Lo) needed someone to step up in the first half. That person was Elicia Hazlewood.
Her quick hands led to six first-half steals. She added six points as well to lead the Crusaders to a 22-20 lead by the halftime buzzer.
"She had to step up when Jennifer (Mondragon) got in foul trouble," Smith said of Hazlewood. "She moved into the point guard spot for us and did a great job."
ICS turned up the pressure in the third quarter. The Crusaders came out of the intermission by going to a man-to-man press, which Smith said he hoped would tire the Warriors.
With only five players available for Big Pine, the strategy worked.
Morgan Lieser, Tara Henderson, Katheryne Vitale, Mondragon, and Hazlewood all scored during the third frame, which helped the Immanuel lead balloon from two to 14 points at 37-23.
Lieser got her shooting touch in the frame, scoring 13 of her 15 points after halftime, including two 3-pointers.
"I told Morgan at halftime to keep shooting and the shots will start to fall," Smith said of the senior guard/forward. "She's a big reason why we played so well in the third quarter."
Page 2 of 2 - After the strong third-quarter performance, Immanuel cruised to the win.
It was the first time this season that Hazlewood, Mondragon and Lieser all scored in double digits.
"Those three are really sharing the ball nicely," Smith said. "We need all three of them to keep playing at a high level."
Both Lieser and Mondragon finished with 15 points. Mondragon also added 19 rebounds. Hazlewood had 10 points on the night with six steals and four assists.
The Crusaders also got a solid performance from Vitale, who finished with six points and three rebounds.
For Big Pine, Wilder had 20 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks, while Alicia Peterson had six points, four rebounds and three steals.
ICS goes for its seventh win in a row when it faces Price at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in Los Angeles.

Toronto Mayor: I Smoked Crack 'in Drunken Stupor'
Posted November 5th, 2013 @ 12:08pm by Kevin Spak, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – Embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted that he'd at least used crack today, in what the CBCdescribes as a "scrum" with reporters outside city hall. "Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine," he said. "Am I an addict? No. Have I tried it? Um, probably in one of my drunken stupors, probably approximately a year ago." He insisted that he was technically telling the truth when he said earlier this year that he didn't use crack cocaine, because he doesn't light up habitually. "I wasn't lying. You didn't ask the correct question."

It was our first trip to New York. We stayed at Sophia's apartament. This is a modern place, clean and bright. We loved it! Safe area with beautiful park near river. The metro station is just opposite the building.
The Yellow cab transfer from JFK Airport to apartament cost about 60-68$+tip.
Uber taxi - about 55$
What I recommend to do&see? Buy a Metro Card for 7 days and New York City Pass. See The Empire State and Top of the Rock at the day and by night ! Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises but only at 6 P.M. - The sunset view is amazing.
We got a very warm opening by Sophia. She was very kind and helpful for us.
I truly recommend this place and hope to come here again.
8 Good. Nice, comfortable and safe apartment. The stay here is pleasant .There are shops and establishments near open 24 horas. It is a bit removed from the major attractions of the city and the nearest metro stop is less than 5 minutes, but it takes to get downtown from 20-25 minutes at least. The hostess is very hospitable and offers to help you in whatever you need.
The appartment is very beautiful and extremely comfortable. The hosts were kind and flexible and took their time to help us and we're interested in getting to know us. The owner of the appartment drove almost an hour just to say hello to us! THe drawback of the flat is its location: Harlem is not a neighborhood that inspires safety, specially in the evenings, and the subway station you are actually going to use is about a ten-minute walk away from the appartment. Going downtown with the express train takes about half an hour, including the walk to the subway station station.
State cercando un alloggio a NY? Non andate più oltre: lo avete appena trovato! L'appartamento di Sophia è bello, comodo, spazioso, a 3 minuti a piedi dalla metropolitana, in un bell'angolo di harlem. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è ottimo.
Inutile spendere 150 euro a notte per una matrimoniale in un discreto albergo di new york quando a 120 si può avere una casa del genere.
Dovessi tornare a NY, so già dove alloggerò.
Grazie sophia!
Sophia is the best host ever! She really takes care of her guests. The room is spacious, clean and you can use the kitchen if you want. Location is ideal: nice neighbourhood and close to the Subway that takes you downtown Manhattan in no time! Really had a nice time here...
It was our first time in NY city and the best choice we could make was to stay in a privat apartment. A great opportunity to feel the 'heart beat' of the city.
Especially our host was the best choice. Even when we didn't know her before.
Sophia is such a friendly host. As we arrived our room was prepared like a sweet boutique hotel room. She also had some snacks for us.
We had some very nice evening talks, she helped us with informations about NY and she even gave us her subway ticket card.
We loved it and it was hard to say 'goodbye'. We will contact Sophia if we ever travel to NY again.
I contacted Sophia last last minute..just a day before my arrival and she responded and accepted my reservation promptly. When my mother and I arrived, we received a very warm welcome- exactly what I needed after being under pressure to find a place to stay :) ...The room and the apartment was very clean, homey and arranged with attention to detail. Sophia even stocked up our fridge compartment with a lot of food and drinks. I can't stress enough what a lovely woman she is and how comfortable and well looked after we felt. When we were out and about exploring NYC, she would send me messages to ask if everything was OK and whether we needed anything. A caring and positive spirit :) ...The location was also very good, short walking distance to Subway A, station 145 St. (direct connection to airport) and Subway train 3, station 148 St going straight to Time Square, World Trade Center etc. I totally recommend staying at Sophie's place and would love to come back. Thanks for making everything so easy for us Sophie- we truly felt at home :)
Disadvantage is the owner requires vegan cooking + sitting room and kitchen are shared. But that was mentioned and we knew that.
We were lucky the owner was away so we had the whole apartment for ourselves. It's spacious and fitted with everything you need.
Less positive: it's a very warm apartment without balcony or terrace. The barely working airco in the bedroom, the TV with very limited networks (only NYC) on it.
But Sophia is very helpful and connection to Manhattan is ok (30 min metro).
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Kevin Foster's 30-point night moved him atop the career scoring list at Santa Clara and helped the Broncos defeat host Saint Louis 74-62 on Wednesday.
Foster broke Kurt Rambis' career points record at 16:01 in the second half. The senior guard now has 1,748 points in his SCU career. Rambis scored 1,735 points from 1976-80.
Foster also had seven steals and five assists for the Broncos (2-0). He was 10 of 18 from the field with a pair of 3-pointers, and 8 for 9 from the free-throw line. Foster was coming off a 27-point performance against Simpson in the Broncos' opener.
"Scoring. That is what Kevin is born to do, and I am glad that we have him," Broncos coach Kerry Keating said. "Kurt Rambis held the record for a long time. Kevin has set the bar high for someone in the future."
"For most of the game we let Kevin go off," said senior forward Marc Trasolini, who had nine points and 10 rebounds. "He was hot, and we kept going to him. It was working."
Foster's 17 first-half points helped Santa Clara take a 44-31 lead at halftime.
"We did a fantastic job on defense," Keating said. "We held them to 35 percent from the floor. We did a tremendous job of getting to their shooters, not getting flustered when it didn't go our way. We turned them over 17 times. The guys showed some real maturity and some toughness tonight."
Rob Loe led Saint Louis (1-1) with 13 points.
Florida 74, Wisconsin 56: Erik Murphy scored 24 points, hitting all 10 of his shots from the field, to lead the No. 10 Gators (2-0) past the visiting No. 22 Badgers (1-1).
UCLA 86, Oklahoma 80: Thea Lemberger scored 18 points and Alyssia Brewer had 15 points and 16 rebounds to help the visiting Bruins (2-0) defeat the No. 11 Sooners (1-1).
USF 72, UC Davis 65: Taylor Proctor scored 18 points, and Mel Khlok added 15 to pace the Dons (2-0) in a victory over the Aggies (0-2) at War Memorial Gym.

Church honors veterans and prisoners of war
BRISTOL, Va. - Veterans' Day may be on Monday but a church in Bristol, Va. honored servicemen and women a day early in a special ceremony.
Veterans filed into Victory Baptist Church with ROTC cadets, to a bagpipe salute.
After an honor guard presented the colors, the veterans went back outside to dedicate an empty chair to all prisoners of war (POW).
"The POW dedication is very inherent for us all because there are still service members that are missing in action and prisoners of war that have not come home yet," said Sgt. Tommy Porter, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Honor Guard. "Until everyone is accounted for we still need to honor them. By having it out here for everyone to see it gives a more constant reminder to the public."
The VFW honor guard gave the chair and POW/MIA flag a 21-gun salute.
The Victory Baptist Church served the veterans lunch after the ceremony.

The Daily Startup: Nexsan Deal Marks Imation's Next Step in Reinvention
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Imation has taken its mission to reinvent itselfas a business storage and security company to a new level with its $119 million acquisition of Nexsan. The deal, which closed Dec. 31, gives Nexsan shareholders $105 million in cash and about 3.3 million shares of Imation, which are valued at $14.1 million as of Wednesday's close. Founded in 1999 to sell archival and backup storage systems that could replace tape-based systems, Nexsan had raised $41 million from investors. The company filed to go public in 2008 but stopped updating its filings in early 2011 before eventually withdrawing from registration last spring.
Battery Ventures is setting out to raise $650 million for its first fund since a change in leadership late last year, according to investors familiar with the matter. The firm is returning to market with Battery Ventures X LP a little over four months after Dave Tabors and Scott Tobin took over management of the firm from Tom Crotty. It was a transition years in the making–Crotty had announced in 2009 that he planned to become a senior adviser to the Waltham, Mass., firm once its ninth fund was committed. The firm is also having another go at raising a $250 million side-car fund, according to these people.
Also in today's VentureWire, Venture investors in Zipcar will profit from Avis Budget Group $500 million buyout, but the returns are hardly what these firms hoped for when they invested years ago…Molecular diagnostics company Crescendo Bioscience, which is selling a first-of-its-kind blood test to track the progression of rheumatoid arthritis, has raised a $28 million Series D round as it begins the new year with a concerted sales push…and 0xdata raised about $1.72 million last year from Nexus Venture Partners and other investors, VentureWire has learned. The goal is to make Hadoop do math, enabling users to apply statistics and mathematical algorithms to Hadoop data as easily as if they were using tools like Google BigQuery or Microsoft Excel.

- This will turn night into day I bought two P38 Tactical Flashlight/Laser Systems for my Eco1 AK47s. Out of the box they looked great, and on the guns even better. When attaching the first one, the rubber toggle switch cover fell off the laser. I was not able to reattach it and as a result, it is hard to turn on the laser when wearing gloves. The positioning rings work great. I was able to adjust the light and the laser so that they can be turned on without having to take my hand off the foregrip. It is so much fun to light up the night with a flick of your thumb. I was amazed at how far the laser held a tight dot. The windage and elevation adjustment is easy to use. After the first mission, we found that the rubber switch cover on the second laser had fell off too. If it wasn�t for the covers falling off, I would have gave them a five out of five.
- Best dealwas looking at aton of different light/laser combos and all would make me spend over $75 so this combination was an awesome deal that you cant beat. full metal construction and super easy install, comes with buttons or pressure switches, also comes with batteries. the laser is adjustable and VERY accurate once sighted in. another cool feature is that you can rotate the laser around the light to fit any RIS. I wouldn't buy anything else, it looks great on my G&G and works perfect.

Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
From our September 1 Issue: We're...
The Poisons and Venoms of Organisms...
From the Quagmire to Savior and...
Genomic software firm GenomeQuest awarded six diagnostics laboratories grants worth a combined total of over $120,000 in software and service to facilitate their move from multiple Sanger-based gene assays to consolidated next-generation sequencing-based tests.
Under terms of the deals, GenomeQuest will provide the software, annotation data, and infrastructure for processing and storing NGS data, producing reports, and carrying follow-up research on individual and combined results. The organization says the resources will facilitate faster and more cost-effective diagnostics for rare genetic disorders, autism, cystic fibrosis, congenital heart disease, muscular dystrophy, and bacterial pathogens.
"The application of NGS to interrogate many genes simultaneously provides a major advance in clinical diagnostic testing that will benefit patients from a wide range of clinical services," comments Edward I Ginns, M.D., director of the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory at UMass Memorial Medical Center, one of the grant recipients. "Working with GenomeQuest on software for analysis of the massive amounts of data generated by NGS and on building an interface with our clinical laboratory information systems will further enhance the accuracy and timeliness of reporting results to providers," adds Marzena Galdzicka, Ph.D., associate director.

Melissa and Kevin McDowell's waterborne wine-tasting business has made quite a splash since it opened in March.
Friday night it almost went under.
The Neptune, a 45-foot craft billed as San Francisco Bay's only floating wine-tasting room, took on water after hitting a shoal near Alcatraz. Eighteen bachelor party attendees and four crew members -- including the McDowells and their adult daughter Rachel Smith -- had to be rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard.
All were returned safely to Pier 39, where the Neptune is based. There were no injuries, according to a Coast Guard news release.
"I've worked for boat companies for 15 years," Melissa McDowell said Saturday. "I've never, ever had this kind of incident. The Coast Guard says it happens all the time (near Alcatraz). I was not aware of that."
For the first 20 minutes of the cruise, a festive atmosphere prevailed. Bachelor party revelers were treated to a beer tasting, a first for the Neptune. "We tried something different," McDowell said.
The boat and crew were outfitted in Halloween garb and decorations, holdovers from when the McDowells, Livermore residents, used to transform their Hansen Drive house in Dublin into a Halloween haven.
And then:
"We were coming around Alcatraz, checking it out," guest of honor Matthew Rice told KGO-TV, "and all of a sudden it was like boom, just like a big jolt, and the next thing we knew the Coast Guard boats came in and got us off."
Passengers donned life jackets and were removed from the boat without incident. Below decks, where water was gushing in through two cannonball-sized holes, the situation was a little more chaotic.
"My husband was trying to repair the holes," McDowell said. "My daughter jumped in and tried to help him. It was just flooding too quickly and the Coast Guard had us get off."
The Neptune was towed to a boat yard in Sausalito. "It's all repairable," McDowell said. "It will be back in the water."
McDowell praised the passengers for following directions, and she vouched for the captain, Dan Goodman, whom she described as experienced and familiar with bay waters.
"Our little business was doing so good," McDowell said. "But everything turned out well. We have high hopes to be up and running soon."

Team to face Spurs at Anfield?
With other sides in Cup action this weekend, it is a chance to make up a little ground, a win could put us 9 points behind Spurs, 7 points behind Chelsea, 2 points behind Arsenal and for the first time in ages, above Everton. Of course, all of this is 'if' we can beat Spurs. Earlier in the season Spurs took a 2 goal lead against us through a Bale free kick incorrectly awarded for a Dempsey dive and then Lennon took advantage of Downings poor defensive positioning whilst playing at left back. From then on in, we absolutely dominated them but couldn't take anything from the match, there is some revenge that needs addressing.
Spurs have a home Europa match vs Inter Milan this thursday and they are in excellent Serie A form right now, especially considering they have no fit strikers, you know its bad when you try and get Van Nistelrooy and Carew out of retirement! That has to be a bonus for us, also, Dembele took a knock against Arsenal, it might not be too serious but him not playing on Sunday will be a massive bonus, he has provided Bale with a lot of service this season. The good news is that Daniel Sturridge should be back involved as well so we might even have a nice selection dilemna after the fantastic Wigan performance. This is a huge game for us, Spurs could kill our faint hopes, we could revitalise our own. This one has me buzzing although I am always a little nervous of the Spurs threat, Bale will relish playing on the break against a possesion side, likewise Lennon and Siggurdson who looks to be coming to form.
Subs: Gulacsi, Skrtel, Wisdom, Henderson, Allen, Assaidi, ShelveySort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I would be happy if you start with that MF because I think Dembele and Parker would be to strong for Coutinho and Downing if they move inside, and that would leave a lot of space out wide for our pacemen. You would have a lot of threat going forward, but weak when defending IMO. Depending how we get through the Inter game with regards to injuries, then I think it should be a great game. Adebayor has really been very poor this season, so hopefully Defoe has no set back to his injury and plays, even though we lose Adebayors height, although JC and Agger would have no trouble against him. Looking forward to a great game.

I kinda think it might be a case of having to try and outscore each other! It just smells of a 4-3 with a pair of high defensive lines and relatively slow centre halves with monstrously pacey and tricky forward players, in which case, it will no doubt be 0-0!
I'm really not sure what the story is with Skrtel since I know he was actually injured, but there was a pretty bad interview he gave on Sky where I basically can't see him staying, unless it was Rodgers pulling a "Downing/Hendo/Enrique" kick up the #$%$ thing.. If he's 100%, I have to have him regardless of Carra's recent run, because Carra was a little error prone in the Wigan match, similar to the give away vs Zenit and Hulk, and I just can't see a good matchup with Defoe, Bale, Lennon, and Dembele up there with all their pace and creativity. I also decided that we should employ the new 3 RB system, while managing to only seem like we have 11 out there. I thought Allen was great vs Wigan, back to his early doors form, but I think Henderson could also come in for his pace, work rate and size to pair with Lucas, or to play forward with Gerrard deeper. I could even see Sturridge not starting, with Coutinho to trouble Walker, but I could also see Suarez there like the Arsenal match vs Sagna..
Basically, I see this as the 2 most in form players in the league, and offensively in form teams going head to head, and one big chess match. I don't really rate AVB as a good tactician, and if there's every been a 1 man show, it's the Tottenham Balespurs, though Defoe back and Lennon scoring makes them very scary.. I do think BR can out think AVB, but it comes down to the starting 11's, and Spurs may have issues after Europa so who knows.. We know we'll have our best 11 based on a week's rest/training and who Brendan deems best for this one which could be an incredible result, especially since I think we've won 1 in 5 vs them, maybe 1 in 6?
Wisdom - Skrtel-Agger - Enrique
Gulasci, Carra, Wisdom, Hendo, Jonjo, Coutinho, Sterling
For what it's worth, I would play the Allen in the middle with Suarez up top on his own and Gerrard in support. Bale is playing a free role in behind the striker and I reckon we'll need two holding mids to stop him. Sturridge can be called on as a plan B if they go ahead.
- 1 Reply to Paddy
IF Sturridge isn't fully fit then I agree that we throw Hendo or Allen in the mix, I would rather have Sturridge up there though as it will cause Spurs' high line all sorts of trouble if they carry on playing that way.
This one makes me nervous. All season we've leaked (well poured actualy) goals against sides that can catch us in possession in our own half and break quickly. Bale fits into that slot all on his own. He will drift around along a similar line to Lucas and I'm sure he will give him a busy day. If Defoe is back to full fitness that gives us an added problem. Adebayor would have been a lot easier to handle.
I agree with your side there Hobs. I think it's the best we can put out at the moment and I hope Downing and Coutinho can keep their full backs busy. Gerrard needs to dominate the middle of the park. A slightly different opton is to stick Henderson or Shelvey in the middle to stiffen that area up and play more of a 4-3-3 in attack or 4-5-1 when defending. That would mean Sturidge would be benched. Tough call as we've been very blunt without him
- 1 Reply to Colyn
Or very blunt till the last couple of games anyway, didnt look to have more then the odd goal or 2 in us. I don't think we will go man for man to take Bale out of the game although hatcheting him might not be a bad idea! I guess, it could make sense to nullify his offence by making him defend for the whole game! There will undoubtedly be moments when he becomes free, running between our midfield and defence, he needs to be shackled, then you go a long way to beating them, of course, this is a lot easier said then done! Absolutely agree that I would prefer to have Adebayor against us then Defoe, he is a lazy looking guy and doesn't seem to have any pace at all anymore, Defoe is a nightmare when fully fit, he has a decent record against us too.

Xcel Energy's Wind-to-Battery Test Shows Promise
In its quest to store wind energy and move it to the grid, Xcel Energy has reached a milestone in its preliminary tests of a one-megawatt (MW) battery-storage technology system, the company announced on August 3. The Wind-to-Battery Project showed it was possible to reduce the need to compensate for the variability of wind generation, Xcel Energy said. It is the first U.S. use of the sodium sulfur battery-storage technology as direct energy storage, according to Xcel Energy. The small demonstration project was part of the company's research into how to integrate unpredictable renewable energy into the grid. Begun in October 2008, the research is being conducted with a battery installation in Luverne, Minnesota, that is connected to a nearby 11-MW wind farm. Twenty 50-kilowatt battery modules in the demonstration weigh approximately 80 tons and are able to store about 7.2 megawatt-hours of electricity, with a charge/discharge capacity of one megawatt. Fully charged, the battery could power 500 homes for more than seven hours.
The preliminary test results indicate this technology can shift wind energy from off-peak to on-peak availability, and can support the regional electricity market by responding to real-time imbalances between generation and load. The system could provide voltage to the transmission grid, which would contribute to system reliability, according to Xcel Energy. Testing will continue to see how the battery system handles larger amounts of wind energy transfers to the grid. The next phase of the project will determine the potential cost effectiveness of the technology. A final report for the project, which received a $1 million grant from Xcel Energy's Renewable Development Fund, is expected in summer 2011.

TORONTO -- The Earthquakes took the field Saturday afternoon without high-scoring World Cup-bound striker Chris Wondolowski, and the lack of offensive spark was glaring.
In the game's first half, the Quakes managed just one attempt on goal, compared with 10 for Toronto FC.
By game's end, the Quakes had dropped a 1-0 decision, ending the team's win streak at two games and marking its first-ever loss at Toronto's BMO Field. In five previous games there, the Quakes had won twice and drawn three times.
Playing with five starters either injured or on international duty, the Quakes fell behind early and struggled to recover.
"We started slow, which was disappointing," said Quakes coach Mark Watson. "But credit to our guys. They found a way to come back and give a good go of it in the second half.
"But I wasn't happy with their performance in the first half. We didn't seem like we had the energy that was necessary to compete right away."
Already short-handed with Wondolowski and Honduran Victor Bernardez on national team duty, a series of injuries forced the Quakes to field a patchwork starting lineup Saturday.
Midfielder Khari Stephenson sat out with an ankle injury, while a sore groin sidelined striker Yannick Djalo, and a bad hamstring kept midfielder Atiba Harris from playing.
The game's lone goal came the minute after a TFC corner kick. In the scramble for position, Quakes forward Alan Gordon tossed Toronto FC's Nick Hagglund to the ground in the 6-yard box, drawing the foul that led to the penalty kick.
TFC designated player Jermain Defoe scored by driving the ball into the lower left corner of the net as Quakes keeper Jon Busch dove in the opposite direction.
Watson chose his words with discretion but made clear he wasn't impressed by the penalty call.
"I don't want to say too much about it, but it looked a little soft," he said.
For Quakes midfielder Sam Cronin, the foul call and the lack of organization in a lineup thrown together quickly teamed up to do the Quakes in.
"It was an unfortunate penalty call on us, and we were chasing the game from there," said Cronin, who also spent two seasons with TFC. "I don't think we moved the ball very sharply."
England national team coach Roy Hodgson also bears some blame for the Quakes loss.
If he had selected Defoe for England's World Cup squad, the striker would have spent Saturday in Miami, facing Bernardez in a pretournament friendly between England and Honduras. His exclusion from the squad left him free to score the game-winner in Toronto.
After Saturday, MLS embarks on a three-week World Cup break. The Quakes return to league play June 28 against the Los Angeles Galaxy. The Quakes face Sacramento Republic on Wednesday in a U.S. Open Cup match that Watson values as a chance to move past Saturday's loss.
Wednesday's game
U.S. Open Cup: Earthquakes vs. Sacramento Republic FC at Kezar Stadium, San Francisco, 7:30 p.m.

Well, i guess.. i guess that seems appropriate...
Anyway Doctor, are there nerves somehow connected from my sinuses to my... grundle?
Or would this be a result of an unusually larger pelvic movement mid-sneeze, causing strain in muscles or nerves not usually used in my, said grundled area?

It seems that you have a grundled grundle. This is often caused by a convulsing colon that is rejecting signals from a perturbed pituitary gland. This can all be remedied by rubbing the left temple in a counter-clockwise motion and chanting random Latin words to the tune of the Mad Men theme song. Also, rubbing Preparation-H around the edges of your belly button has been known to provide some relief, although that advice is still highly contested in the medical community.

I don't know when this "taint" word started becoming so popular, but it's always been called a grundle where I'm from. Official internet diagnosis: There's a rumble in your grundle.

I've always known it as the gooch or the perinium.
I can't think of anything that rhymes with either of those though, so lets go with grundle.

I guess it may have something to do with your muscles contracting down there when you sneeze.
I get shooty Arse. I will be sittng on my couch playing a game or watching TV, minding my own when all of a sudden i get this shooty pain up my arse. Its a weird sensation. Sometimes it propells me forward.

Sometimes I sneeze so hard that it send a shooting pain and tingle down my arm or leg. It makes me feel like I'm old as fuck. I don't know what causes it, but I don't think its ever reached my taint.

I've done this. But constantly? Get some smaller balls, man. Or start cupping them up before you sit. Don't worry about how this will look. Gotta protect your balls.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Wednesday, March 20, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- On Wednesday, GRU kicked off its new no-tobacco policy that will go into effect on Aug. 1.
It began with a kickoff at noon outside the student activity center and continued with a community forum giving students and faculty both for and against the policy a chance to speak.
Only a few students showed up to learn more about the new policy.
"I thought it was excellent, and I hope that maybe they can revisit it in the future," said student Ryan Mclay. "Try to get a larger audience because it's really important information [and] something we need to hear more of."
Out of around 4,500 universities across the nation, GRU will be one of just 767 that are tobacco free.
"I think smokers are kinda used to it and they know there are places they can't smoke any longer," said Marc Miller, dean of the business college.
"Eventually, most places are gonna be smoke free, I think," McLay said.
The policy includes all tobacco products, even electronic cigarettes which are tobacco free, and it will apply everywhere on campus.
"You can't smoke in your car," Miller said. "If your car is on the grounds, you can't smoke."
Students won't be left on their own. The school will be offering classes and resources to help smokers quit.
"A lot of students don't have maybe adequate health care coverage or somewhere to go for resources, so I think it's gonna be an excellent resource for the student population," McLay said.
The school says helping students quit is the ultimate goal.
"If we can just help one or two, that's all we need to be able to do is help one or two people be able to stop smoking and this is worth it," Miller said.
GRU's medical campus has been tobacco free since 2007, so this policy will only change things at the Summerville campus. It all begins with the new semester in August.

SAN JOSE -- The downtown restaurants were happy for Monday night's bump in business as hockey -- albeit the minor league variety -- returned to HP Pavilion for the first time since April.
But not all the 12,881 fans who showed up to see the San Francisco Bulls fall 6-4 to the Stockton Thunder were all smiles, willing to put the nastiness of the NHL lockout, now in its 95th day, behind them.
Yes, some were pleased with the Sharks' attempt to soothe a weary fan base. And some were desperate enough to see pro hockey that they opened their wallets in the resale market when they came up empty-handed after the free tickets were distributed.
"I bought them on Craigslist," said Jamen Barreras, who added that he normally attends 10 to 15 Sharks games each season. "I paid $45 each for me and my brother."
Barreras, who drove from Antioch, then stopped at the Los Gatos Brewing Company before heading for the arena, acknowledged he needed his hockey fix.
But another fan said she was going to the game almost reluctantly.
Jan Olsen, a 56-year-old Los Gatos resident who shares season tickets with her brother, initially planned to stay home. At one point, she said she was going to take the Sharks up on their ticket offer but leave the seat empty in protest.
"Then I realized my community is there. I want to go and see the people that we sit with and don't get to see," she said. "That's why I'm going, not to support the Sharks. Because I don't support the Sharks."
Olsen and her brother, Larry Blair of San Mateo, are divided over whether to renew their season tickets. Olsen said the lockout has helped her discover that her life doesn't need to be tied to the NHL schedule and wants to give them up.
"I wish they would just call off this season and give me back my money," she said. "There's so many things to do, and I don't have to worry about missing a hockey game."
Olsen and Blair had their pregame meal at the Brittania Arms, a pub that includes former Sharks captain Owen Nolan as an owner.
Sonny Walters, general manager there, said the Brit, too, was losing significant business because of the lockout. A typical game night would bring in about 800 to 900 people, he said. Without hockey, that number is around 250.
Inside the arena, fans filled about two-thirds of the seats and saved some of their loudest cheers for Sharks forward Ryane Clowe, who is practicing with the Bulls and serving as an assistant coach on game nights.
Clowe said before the game that he didn't expect any fans to take out their lockout unhappiness on him -- "I play the game hard, and they've always treated me great" -- and that proved to be the case.
The crowd focused more on the fight-filled game than the brawl at the bargaining table, though one fan changed his "This is Sharks Territory" sign to read "This is Lockout Territory."
The fans who showed up didn't match the full house that usually fills HP Pavilion, but they did follow the Sharks' suggestion to stop at downtown restaurants before and after the game. Those restaurants closest to the arena have lost about 30 percent of their business, according to Scott Knies, executive director of the San Jose Downtown Association.
At Henry's Hi-Life, every table was filled, and dozens of other fans were crammed into the bar area 90 minutes before the opening faceoff.
"I really appreciate what they did, bringing the Bulls down here," said Richard Aradna, owner of the legendary barbecue joint less than a quarter mile from HP Pavilion. "This is what a Shark night is like. I'm excited, the staff is excited -- this is what we're looking forward to with the lockout ending. But there's no end in sight."

GOP Economist Warns Party on Shutdown Risks
The logistics of a partial shutdown would impact a range of government operations but do virtually nothing to address the country's long-term fiscal problems, a Republican economist and budget expert said Tuesday.
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who led the Congressional Budget Office and was a top adviser to 2008 presidential candidate John McCain, said a shutdown would impact just 36% of the federal budget and leave untouched the largest – and growing – elements that many Republicans believe need to be structurally changes, such as Medicare and Social Security.

- Demand Troubles Risk Cementing a Decade of Anemic Global Growth
- Secondary Sources: Regulation, Next Debt Battle, EU Red Tape
- How Would Fed Deal With Debt Ceiling Crisis? Look to Minutes for Clues
- Treasury Quickly Unwinding Emergency Debt Ceiling Moves
- Revised Economic Data Calendar
- Inflation Data Could Be Error-Prone for Months
"People don't really understand how this works," said Mr. Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum. "Shutting the government down is bad idea. It's a bad policy and a bad political move at this point in time."
Congress is locked in a debate about whether to authorize additional funding for government services beyond Sept. 30. There is a debate within the GOP ranks about the party's negotiating strategy, with some trying to use the prospect of a shutdown as leverage to defund the White House's healthcare law. But a number of others, including Mr. Holtz-Eakin, believe such a push could backfire like it did when the government shutdown in 1995 and 1996.
"You will hear Republicans say 'but the public is with us,'" Mr. Holtz-Eakin said. "That might be true, but if you look at polling from 1995 and1996, the public agreed with the Republican position on budget deficits and policy issues and what was at stake, but they punished Republicans for shutting the government down."
His group is releasing a paper, "Government Shutdowns: What they are and what they are not" that he hopes will clarify that a shutdown will have virtually no impact on the implementation of White House's controversial health care law and instead lead to politically unpopular things, such as suspending pay for military personnel.

Welcome to USM Army ROTC: Graduate a Leader
Welcome to the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) at USM. With an office located at 134 School Street on the Gorham Campus, this Army ROTC satellite continues its programmatic affiliation with the University of New Hampshire. The growth of interest and continued commitment of our Cadet Corps over the past few years has been significant and has led to an increase in the breadth of course options available to cadets on the USM campus. This has decreased the need for USM students who are interested in ROTC to drive to the home base in New Hampshire in order to participate in the program.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — Truckee has found itself in good company sitting among the world's best ski destinations, earning a distinguished accolade from the editors of National Geographic Adventure as one of the world's top 25 ski towns.
The article, which was published this month, breaks down what constitutes a classic ski town. Truckee is celebrated as "an inviting mountain burg steeped in ski heritage, amenities, and culture."
Truckee is heralded as being a relaxed town where locals live. Squaw Valley, famed for its extreme terrain, is referred to as Truckee's "alpha mountain," and calls out Northstar, Sugar Bowl, Tahoe Donner and Soda Springs reflecting the variety of terrain and opportunities nearby.
The article has some fun exploring what makes a place really tick by asking local luminaries for insider tips. Truckee's own Daron Rahlves, four-time Olympian, 15-year member of the U.S. Ski Team stepped up to answer the journalist's questions, recommending his picks of where to stay, play, and party.
Visit http://adventure.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/trips/best-ski-towns-photos/ and scroll along for Truckee.
"This article provides the reader with a sense of Truckee's colorful history and authentic charm, and also makes it clear that we sit right in the midst of many world-class ski resorts," said Lynn Saunders, president and CEO of the Truckee Donner Chamber of Commerce. "Truckee's mountain culture and fun-loving lifestyle are a draw for people who live here, visit here, and for those who decide that they want to be part of our remarkable community, by moving here."
Other ski towns making the elite list include Telluride, Colo.; Stowe, Vt.; Park City, Utah; Jackson, Wyo.; Ketchum, Idaho; Girdwood, Alaska; Chamonix, France; Zermatt, Switzerland; Niseko, Japan and Wanaka, New Zealand, among others.
About Truckee
Truckee is 40 miles from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, two hours from Sacramento and three hours from San Francisco directly off Interstate 80. Contact the Truckee Donner Chamber of Commerce at 530-587-2757 or visit www.truckee.com for more information.

Loveland celebrates its 75th anniversary Saturday, but don't expect fireworks, champagne toasts or grandiosity. This small, family-owned and operated ski area has planned a day of festivities reflective of its unique character, including $37 lift tickets, custom skis and even its own brew.
"We focus on the ski and snowboarding experience," said John Sellers, Loveland's marketing director. "That's our one and only business."
Situated on the east side of the Continental Divide just off Interstate 70, Loveland is one of Colorado's few ski areas that hasn't been consumed by development.
Much has changed since the ski area opened in 1937: lifts have replaced rope tows; the Eisenhower Tunnel was built; skiers share the mountain with snowboarders; and wood skis are a thing of the past.
Still, Loveland remains small, local and affordable - which is exactly why its customers return, time and time again. "It's hard to describe why people fall in love with this place," Sellers said. "It's welcoming. It's not exclusive. It's a place where people can come up and have a great day of skiing or snowboarding. They don't need all the bells and whistles."
While many mountains charge around $100 for day tickets, Loveland's tickets are only $61. But this weekend, those prices drop to $37 to commemorate the 1937 opening and lesson packages for adults and children 6 and older are only $75.
On Saturday, guests can warm up with free coffee and hot chocolate before they hit the lifts. Loveland will host a free barbecue for season-pass holders and serve free birthday cake to all guests. The Red Bull photo booth will offer free "historic" photos, where visitors can pose on an old rope tow.
The celebration will culminate with an apres ski party and giveaway featuring Tommyknocker's Pine Bough Pale Ale and Icelantic skis, both custom-made for Loveland's 75th anniversary.
"I, personally, went up (to the ski area) and hand-picked blue spruce tips and symbolically threw some snow into the kettle," said Steve Indrehus, director of brewery operations.
Currently only served at Loveland and the Idaho Springs brewery, the Pine Bough Pale Ale has been surprisingly successful.
"The hops complements the pine notes," he said. "It's not so demanding in flavor that you can only drink it in small amounts."
Meanwhile, Icelantic Skis collaborated with Loveland to design a custom ski for the anniversary - one pair of which will be given away to a lucky winner Saturday.
What was originally envisioned as a classic wood ski with the Loveland logo on it evolved into an "old school, new school" all-mountain ski, said artist Travis Parr. The logo "came to life" when Parr carved and painted a wooden sculpture he then photographed for the ski. The combination of the wood planks, logo and a trail map overlay make the skis at once simple, classic, modern and cool.
For the folks at Tommyknocker and Icelantic, Loveland is the local mountain. Creating the anniversary brew and skis was a way to celebrate all it means to them.

SUMMIT COUNTY - Avalanches in Colorado have killed half as many people so far this season compared with the same time last year. But officials warn that below-average snowpacks continue to create temperamental conditions and rescue teams continue to log thousands of hours training for the worst.
More than 25 volunteers from the Summit County Rescue Group participated in a rapid avalanche-deployment exercise in Mayflower Gulch, near Copper Mountain, on Saturday.
"We train for the worst-case scenario," said John Reller, a team leader with the group. "After all this, we hope the training goes smooth, and that helps us when we do get that real call."
To date, three people have died in avalanches this season.
In a continuing effort to decrease the time between when rescue crews are alerted to an avalanche and when they arrive on scene, the Summit County Rescue Group, like many emergency crews, has coordinated with ski resorts in the area and Flight for Life Colorado. When the team is called out, and if a helicopter is available, a search dog, a handler and a snow technician are airlifted directly to the avalanche site.
In addition to helping coordinate the exercise, Reller, who has volunteered for search and rescue for more than 20 years, also trained one of the team's most valuable members: Recco, a 3-year-old golden retriever.
