Hi all,
I'm very new to the triathlon scene. I just ran a 10K this June and have up'd my training since then. I now work both the bike and running in. In January, I am going to get a membership to the local YMCA to add swimming (I am a decent swimmer already). I live in Alrington, VA now and work in Georgetown (Washington, DC). I was just wondering if anyone could help me out in any way possible. I notice that sometimes after a combined session (35 min. bike, 30 min. run), my lower back seems really sore. Am I doing something wrong? I guess any help at all would be great because I would like to progress in this sport a lot. Thanks in advance for any help.
HI thePSUDon
One common issue for lower back pain is incorrect bike sizing. You're frame may be too large or too small for you. Depending on how long you ride the pain will be come more evident.
Do you hurt after you do 10k runs? If not then I'm guessing that its the bike that could be the problem. The best way to see if your bike is too large for you is to go to a Local Bike shop (there are a few in Georgetown, Big Wheel Bikes, revolution cycles etc...) and have them measure you. Just out of curiousity how tall are you and how large is your bike? Also how tall are you from the waist up? (Some people have long legs, short torso and vice versa) You can probably go online and just google 'bike fitting' and you'll find a bunch of quick ways to see if your bike is approx the right size.
If it is the run that is hurting your back then there could be a number of issues. Posture (do you slouch when you run?), shoes (do you pronate?), running style (do your feet go up and down like pistons as if you were marching?) etc...
Thank you so much. I have actually been using our gym's stationary bike. I never hurt when I ran. I think the stationary bike is a big problem. The weather is getting bad, so it would be hard to do much bike work now, but is there anything I can do for the stationary bike. I'm guessing not. I will check out a local bike place this week. That helps a lot. I have another question for this thread though. Where is a good place to train around the DC/Arlington area? I don't really know where a swimming pool is. I would like to be involved with a group actually. Any more help that you all can give would be greatly appreciated. If you ask me questions, that would be great too. I am a beginners beginner in the triathlon world.
Arlington/DC has a few good biking/running areas.
Run: The trails are really good for this (i.e. W&OD, Mt. Vernon, Custis etc...) You can probably pick up an Arlington trail map at the Visitor's centre at Pentagon Row. The Mall area is good for runs as well because it's a gravelly type surface so its a bit easier on the knees.
Bike: Trails are not so good becuase they can get crowded and it'll be hard to get any momentum. Hains point is a favourite as is Rock Creek Park (I've never cycled there but I'm told it's nice). If you aren't afraid of winter riding (its not as bad as people make it out to be) then the trails are not too bad as they become much less crowded.
Swim: There's an outdoor long course pool out at Hains point and there are a lot of people that train out of there. If not you can try going for your local gym (Certain Sport & Health's have pools.)

Welcome, here are a few quick and dirty tips to get you started off on the right foot. Starting with the "Off Season", which you are now officially in. This is the toughest part of the cycle for most triathletes as it is generally a time to de-condition, gain a few pounds and recover from what is usaully a brutal season. Most importantly it is the time to relax you mind from the rigors of training as well as let your body recover. That said, here we go. Start a weight training regimen, if you want to progress in this sport you have to be strong as well as fast, so start building that core, that will help with your back pain. What will fix your back pain is setting up the stationary bike correclty, here a few major tweaks to make on the bike: 1.) adujst the saddle height high enough so that when your heel is down and you are in the 6 oclockl pedal position, your leg is slighty bent. 2.) adjust the fore/aft position of the saddle so that when you are in the 3 oclock pedal position your knee directly intersects(while looking straight down) the ball of you foot as well as the pedal axle. The part of the knee I am referring to is the bony prominence that sticks out slighty on each knee, you know the one. 3.) Start with a conservative height for the bars and try not to hunch over to much on the bike when you are riding for long periods of time. These are basics, there is much greater detail you will need to research as far as bio-mechanics and form goes. You mentioned brick workouts(bike to run sessions), stop them immediately, these DO NOT need to be performed in the off season, the off season is to build a good aerobic base/foundation as well as to work on form to set the stage for the new season in 08.
Conclusion: Start weight training, work on form, take is easy and keep your workouts purely aerobic till you begin training for next season. Remember too that nutrition and recovery are key components as well as training, good luck!
Once you have solved appropriate bike fit... if you still have back problems... it might be a weak core. I had back problems for years, but someone suggested core training 3 times a week and after a few months of that, I havent had a problem since (and that included a 3-4 hour ride once a week all of last season). If you want to try it, here is a good suggested core workout...

When Penny Drain first participated in Newport United Methodist Church's living nativity more than 50 years ago, it was an annual event.
Today, it's held every other year, but it's still looked forward to by the community.
"People ask for it - 'Are you going to do the pageant this year?'" Drain said.
Newport's living nativity is one of three taking place in the area this weekend. It will feature live animals, more than a dozen cast members and a choir made up of church members.
"It's just the congregation coming together and singing the songs they've sung all their lives," Drain said.
The pageant will be presented at 5:30, 6, 6:30 and 7 p.m. Sunday in front of the church at 420 Greene St., Newport. There is no charge for admission, with people invited simply to "come and remember the birth of Christ," Drain said. "This is for the community and the surrounding communities."

Sweetapple Farm's 12th Live Nativity - 5:30 to 8 p.m. Sunday and Monday at the farm, 149 Sweetapple Road, Vincent; shows at 6:20 and 7:20 p.m.; free, donations welcome with proceeds benefiting the Western Washington County Food Pantry; www.sweetapplefarm.com or 678-7447.
Source: Times research.
On Sunday and Monday, Sweetapple Farm in Vincent will present its own live nativity for the 12th time.
"We started this as something to do to invite the community to the farm, free of charge, and get back to an old-fashioned Christmas," said farm owner Mona Barrett.
Farm employees and members of Living Faith United Methodist Church and Lighthouse Baptist Church, both in Vincent, will appear in the scene and sing traditional Christmas carols. Barrett said those in attendance are invited to join in as well, noting the singing is casual and unrehearsed and there are additional costumes available.
"It just takes a minute to slide on over the clothes that they're wearing," she said.
The program will take place at 6:20 and 7:20 p.m. each evening in the barn, but the farm is open from 5:30 to 8 p.m., including the market, which will offer refreshments like hot chocolate. Santa and Mrs. Claus will also be on hand during that time.
There is no charge for admission, but donations will be accepted for the Western Washington County Food Pantry.
Sandy Pickrell, 68, of Layman, is a friend of the Barrett family who has participated in the nativity for the last three years. She usually sings, while her son's family portrays characters in the nativity.
"It's enjoyable," Pickrell said. "It's always good to be able to praise the Lord and welcome his birth."
Living Faith member Linda Jameson, 75, has joined with fellow church members at the event for about 10 years.
"I have been Mary ... and either that or an angel or wise man," she said. "I get a great joy out of seeing a lot of attendance. Some people come from Parkersburg and even farther away."
Second Congregational Church, at 1855 Greene St., half a mile past the Social Security office on Ohio 26, will present its living nativity at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. A representative of the church could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

The Bucklin/Macon County co-op had their first Homecoming together on Friday night at New Cambria, as the teams hosted Northwestern. BMC would fight valiantly in both games, but would lose early leads in both games.
In the girls game, the Lady Raiders and Lady Eagles played evenly in the beginning of the game. A pair of three-pointers by Kailey Grinder would prove the difference. Northwestern would battle back late in the frame, catching fire from downtown, and BMC would lead 13-12 after one quarter.
Three points from Savannah Jochem, as well as a three-pointer from Grinder would start the second quarter off well for the Lady Raiders. This would make a period of over three minutes where BMC held Northwestern scoreless. The Lady Eagles would utilize the three-pointer again in the midpoint of the frame to draw within one of the Lady Raiders. But, a shot from downtown by Bailey Ratliff would help keep the BMC girls on top 26-25 at the half.
In the boys game, following the Homecoming coronations for both schools (see elsewhere in the LCL), Northwestern struck first with a three-pointer. But five straight points by Lake McCollum answered back for BMC. McCollum would score the first eight points for the Raiders, and a basket by Alex Porter would give BMC the lead just over the 4:00 mark. The game would remain close, and the Raiders led 12-10 after one quarter.
Northwestern would open the second frame with a 5-0 run to take the lead. A basket by Damon Porter at the 2:45 mark would answer for BMC. Another three-ball by McCollum would tie the game again at the 4:14 mark. At just under the six minute mark a three by Dylan Liebhart would give the Raiders back the lead. But, a late surge by the Eagles put BMC down 26-22 at the half.

London Robinson scored 12 points and Kelea Pickeral-Dennis had 14 rebounds to help lead the host Oakland Tech High girls basketball team to a 50-34 win over Skyline on Wednesday in the Oakland Athletic League opener for both teams.
The Bulldogs (11-3) forced 28 turnovers and held a 56-34 advantage in rebounds.

Boys soccer
Berkeley 3, Hayward 2: The host Yellowjackets continued to affirm their position as one of the top teams in the East Bay with a West Alameda County Conference win over the Farmers. It is the eighth straight win for Berkeley, which got two goals from Nigus Solomon and one from Calvin Wright.
"We're on a roll right now, and we hope it continues," Solomon said.
Berkeley (10-1-3, 6-0-1 WACC) had leads of 2-0 and 3-1, but the Farmers (9-3-1, 4-2-1) didn't go away. Esteban Mares scored in the 57th minute to cut Berkeley's lead to 2-1, and Luigi Castillo's header in the 70th minute made it a one-goal game again.
"We could have put our head down, but we didn't," Hayward coach Alex Ortega said. "We kept fighting, and I'm proud of the boys for that."

Over the next several days, GoIslanders.com will bring you "Postcards from London," as assistant soccer coach Lauren "Money" Molinaro blogs about her trip to the XXX Olympiad. Here is her third entry, discussing the events of July 30.
Monday, July 30, 2012
Day three in London, and I wake up early without an alarm! Hooray! I celebrate, I'm finally on London time, and I kicked my jetlag. Ok, to be fair, a friend called and woke me up, but the point is, it's 8:15 a.m. and I'm ready to face the day! I'm ecstatic for three reasons. One, my newly made English friend, Rachel, is going to meet me for the volleyball game later. Two, I finally have a working European cell phone. And three, I'm awake before noon!
The run I go on turns out to be incredible. When I first arrived Saturday, I learned of a tunnel under the River Thames near Gabe's apartment. I figure I'll try to find that tunnel, so I explore and sure enough, it exists. I follow a path down a narrow, winding stairwell, cruise along the underwater tunnel, and head back up another narrow, winding stairwell. Needless to say, up was not quite as easy as down. In any event, the path plops me out on the other side of the Thames on a really neat, paved trail separating gorgeous three-story apartments and the water. Many of the apartments are creatively designed and have balconies, and as I run along I can just imagine relaxing up there enjoying the view with some good company.
As if the trail, the view and the architecture weren't enough, there is a small beach where a few residents are enjoying their Monday morning. I stop briefly to play with a Rhodesian Ridgeback. She is six months old and adorable, and she leaves me with a miniature scratch on my lip. My first souvenir!
Upon my return, I realize I got so caught up in the sights of my run, that I'm now late. Shocking, I know, to those of you that know me, but I am supposed to meet Nata, Gaven, and Rachel at the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park in an hour. This is hardly enough time to shower, eat and travel the distance, so I begin to rush.
Thankfully, Rachel is English and has a cell phone, so we can communicate. She greets me outside of the Green Park Tube and we head for Hyde Park. The park is really neat, very green and full of people. I find myself getting lost again in the scenery. Aside from a plethora of flowers and the serene water, there is a dirt path surrounding most parts of the park where various work horses train. I don't see any horses today, but evidence suggests that they were recently there (if you know what I mean).
Forty-five minutes later, we approach the Fountain. We're an hour late and manage to find Nata and Gaven right away. This must be the karma I was talking about day one. I introduce Rachel to Izzy as we frolic by the water and take pictures. Then we grab a bite to eat by the water. You think we'd also grab a front row seat to the triathlon exchange point, but due to the group of rather plump pigeons attacking cocktail glasses and leftover pizza, we opt to sit inside. Lunch is incredible.
A few hugs later and some good wishes, we say goodbye to our friends, and Rachel and I head to Earl's Court for some volleyball. We are very excited! In fact, we are so full of adrenaline, and probably calories from lunch, that we decide to walk instead of hopping the Tube. This is a hilarious decision because we drastically underestimate the time it will take. As we travel through neat areas such as Kensington, however, I find myself not really caring about the time or the distance. Mini Coopers line the streets in front of the very tall, intricately designed, newer housing buildings and museums. I'm still having trouble with the whole "Look Left/Look Right" thing, but I'm getting better, and an hour later we arrive.
Earl's Court is a really cool venue, and the Dominican Republic vs. Russia game proves to be pretty good. Russia wins in four sets, and then the American and Brazilian teams t ake the court. Brazilian flags hang all over the stadium and the woman in front of me proudly wears yellow and green. There are many American fans, but Brazil clearly dominates the crowd. The game is tremendous. Both teams are comprised of incredible athletes. I am amazed at how high some of the players on both teams can jump. I am also amazed at the size of their arms. If I tried for a whole year, I don't think I could get my arms as strong as Foluke Akinradewo. There are a few tremendous rallies, and cheers ring out all around me. The United States end up winning in four sets as well, but it was a really incredible sporting event.
Rachel, Izzy and I head out of the door along with hundreds of other sports fans and squish into the Tube. We are literally packed like sardines, but everyone is on such a high that no one seems to mind. Rachel and I part ways, and I head to Waterloo to sight see. The view crossing the Waterloo Bridge is incredible. I can see the London Eye and Big Ben across the water.
I grab some dinner in South Bank, and meet Gabe at the South Africa house. Here, there are music performances and art displays, as well as various people just hanging out promoting the country. I meet Gabe's sister, Mariana, who has an all access pass to the Olympic Games. She is headed to see Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor at 11 p.m., and I don't think I've been more jealous in my life. Beach Volleyball is one of my favorite sports. I guess I can hold out until Wednesday when I see it live.
The night ends with me sitting around the table at Iguanas with a group of Gabe's friends. As I glance around I see a few Brazilians, some Brits, a German, a Welsh girl, and me, an American, all sitting at one table, talking about the Games, laughing, sharing stories, asking questions, and overall just enjoying a good time. The Olympic Games have brought us all together. And as I'm sitting there, I smile thinking, "This is what life is all about."

I'm unhappy with this medication. I truly feel this medication has caused my son to have ADD. Any suggestions on where I can go for advice or information is greatly appreciated. I really think doctors should explain all the effects of drugs before giving.

Ease of Use
I was placed on this medication for early labor and though it does make my heart race a little its not to unsettling. The most important is that it eased up the contractions I was experiencing and prevented early labor so my baby wouldn't be born at 32 weeks
Reviewer: mshel7667, 25-34 Female on Treatment for 1 to 6 months (Patient)
Ease of Use
Because of this medication I delivered my healthy daughter at 34 weeks instead of 27 weeks. I didn't have any side effects with the sub q method. However, the oral (pill) did not agree with me. I experienced tremors, nervousness and was still having contractions.

Quit trying to pretty it up, and be honest about what you're doing. It doesn't matter how much money you donate, or how many impassioned arguments you make about internet freedom (or how many of them I've said myself, or how many I agree with). I'm actually hoping the people who run TUEBL agree with me that those ideals are important... because then we can actually start having a conversation about how to make those ideals happen in real life, and evaluating whether or not our actions are helping those ideals become a reality.
Well, he called me back last night. And it was a really fascinating conversation (and potentially productive, as well). He clearly came down on the side of "pirates" instead of "bandits". (Seriously, if you don't know the distinction I'm making, click that link. It's important, but a little too long to summarize here.)
I'm not going to share the entire conversation, but here's some highlights (also serving as notes to myself):
- I apologized for authors behaving badly. Because really, disagreeing with someone doesn't give you an excuse to be a troll. He admitted that he wasn't being reasonable online either, since frothy authors effectively ran a publicity campaign for him. 1
- He told me about how he really does support charity overseas (predominately literacy-based) with the advertising revenue from the site.
- He told me that he wasn't opposed to the idea of going legit, but would have to still ensure some kind of catalog of books.
- He told me that a large portion of his userbase comes from developing countries, where smartphones and (slow) internet access exist, but they simply don't have the funds to pay for the eBooks, and nobody else even comes close to serving those people.
- Ideologically, we're not that far apart, and he's got some good, innovative ideas... but I can't support him or the site as it exists now because I do not support the copyright violations.
- The things we brainstormed (see below) could never have come to pass before Kobo opened up DRM-free eBooks and Tor/Forge announced they were going DRM-free.
Some things we brainstormed, that may or may not come to pass:
- Something like the (now-defunct, dammit) Creative Commons Developing Nations license would allow those of us in developed countries pay for the books, but not restrict access to those who simply can't. A technological solution (perhaps based off of IP addresses) could enforce this.
- There isn't an existent library solution that isn't tied to either a store (Amazon, B&N) or to Overdrive (which limits how many people can "check out" an eBook - which is stupid).
- The possibility of using Flattr or something like it as a way to ensure that authors and publishers get compensated.
- Corollary to the above: How would this impact price-matching clauses in Amazon/iBooks/B&N stores?
- Quite a few people in Facebook comments and elsewhere expressed support for a Hulu/Netflix style of subscription.
- DRM doesn't prevent piracy. Because it doesn't.
- There isn't really a solution except DRM to enforce a true library-style loan of an eBook.
- Offering a strategy where DRM (to enforce loans) and DRM-free offerings were mixed in some way to subscribers.
- Using (or even licensing) the download (loan) data to publishers so that they can revise their own pricing and marketing strategies.
And we talked about people he has approached, or could approach.
Honestly, it was one of the most productive conversations I've ever had with someone whose current piracy actions I cannot support. He seems to be a smart guy with ideals not dissimilar to my own. He seemed interested in actively supporting (including financially) authors and creatives, but did not want to compromise those people outside of the developed world, and to support charity at the same time.
Let me make this clear: I do not support (personally or professionally) the currently existing incarnation of TUEBL. However, I do support many of his ideals and the things we brainstormed.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is not being at ideological loggerheads. That is simply a problem. And problems only need solutions.
If you happen to be a person with more clout (or Klout - ha!) than I with the established publishing industry, I think this guy is someone we want to talk to. Give him a listen. Disagree. Point out problems with his models - he was open to that with me - and brainstorm solutions. Hell, I'll join in if you really want me to.
Because while I don't support where his website is right now, I can easily see where it could turn into something truly awesome for all of us.
1 See? Losing your cool over piracy doesn't exactly work out the way you wanted, authors.

The only thing I can think of to mention here right now is that I'm the best awk programmer I know, so instead I'll repost something I wrote elsewhere back in February.
At around 7:10PM, I changed my gtalk status to:
(home) for a long time I thought the front-man for The Mountain Goats was named John Takenoprisoners
My friend Jesse immediately IMed me the following:
7:12 PM Jesse: This reminds me of Aaron Tombofhorrors.
7:13 PM Jesse: I had a sun sword mark.
, mark.
and we still got destroyed by that fucking lich.
I don't think we ever made it there.
I don't know about you. Maybe you're not like me. But me, I'm part of a culture of gamers, for more than half my life now. And when I see Jesse type that, I see in his words an aging veteran of a jungle war, reliving trauma instead of just remembering it. And I'm like him. There's a part of my mind forever devoted to sprinting through the jungles of Cambodia, trailing my point man by just far enough that when he fell into the ambush I was able to win the battle by avenging his death. There's a part of my mind still smarting from having permanently lost all my spell abilities due to a critical failure on a spell fumble table. There's a part of my mind that exults at beating Merlin's Pet for the first time, and a part of my mind that quails in horror at the thought of being lost in Profezzorn's Monolith, chased by demons from the Dungeon Dimensions. There's a part of my mind that shudders in futile rage at the thought of having been killed by a balrog I wrote the code for. And there's a part of my mind that clawed its way screaming into the fresh air when Chuck talks to me over morning coffee about having just gotten done rescuing the asari scientist from the krogan mercenary and his complement of geth stormtroopers.
This is who I am. A seasoned traveler of virtual worlds, from the deep and terrifying dungeons of Zork and Rogue and Nethack to the sprawling domains of NannyMUD to the cramped and brutal deathmatch maps of Doom, Duke, SOCOM, RTCW, Halo, and Gears. I've been killed by centaurs, hobgoblins, kestrels, griffins, and trolls, and had an aquator make my armor so rusty I couldn't even take it off any more. I've broken open the jewel-encrusted egg, explored the Great Underground Empire, and been eaten by more than one grue. I've been shot in the head by twelve year olds, I've been booted from Xbox Live matches for being too good with the minigun, and I've spawn-camped some of my best friends and lived to tell about it. I can throw a dragon punch, I can counter-throw, I've saved every Little Sister in Rapture, and more than 20 years later, my princess is
in another castle. I've been level 1, I've been level 20. I've ignored encumberance tables, fudged my roll on a d20, and argued over more rules than I care to admit. I've inserted a coin to continue, and I've been entering my initials next to high scores for longer than I've been signing my own name. I've dreamt of Super Mario on a skateboard, I've dreamt that I was fighting Outer Heaven terrorists on an oil rig. I've shot the food, I've entered through the Konami Code, I've fallen through the geometry by accident
on purpose, and sometimes I kill my way up to six stars just for the fun of it.
I've played games naked. I've played games drunk. I've played games through 'til dawn. I've played games laughing, and crying, and everything in beteween. And shit, that's just in the last year or so.
And the thing about it is, I know I'm not alone in any of this. I can sit and make an Aesop Rock reference in my gtalk status, and a friend who hasn't rolled D&D dice with me in probably five years can quite randomly have an eyes-dilated reaction of near pain to the memory of something that never actually happened, not to him, not to anybody. Hell, I wasn't even in that Tomb of Horrors campaign and I remember how bad it was. That module cut a swath of trauma through damn near half of my LiveJournal friends list, and when Jesse suggested to me later on in that gtalk chat that someone should run the campaign again, I rolled out into my living room and repeated his suggestion to [two of my friends], just to hear their cries of outrage.
I talk a lot about how we're the veterans of an imaginary war, and I shouldn't, because I don't want to make fun of PTSD or anybody who's had to go through that. But Jesse reminded me tonight that, even when the adversity is imaginary, the brotherhood that comes out of it can be real.
Gamer for life, and proud of it.

C'mon. What's the point of this thread if you're not going to talk in depth about why you're proud of the things you're proud of?
Lusid: Tell us about something your boy has done that blew your hair back, on some "wow, he's a whole person who I'm lucky to know" shit, like Mac's story about his daughter and the coloring book in that
Bukowski thread
a few months ago. Every parent has stories like these. Let's hear one of yours.♠
kHill: Take a minute and tell us about how you're doing with those things. You've said, in relatively short form, about what your priorities are and how you feel about everything else in your life. But if you're proud of your wife and your girl and your music, tell us more about those things. Is your wife achieving her dreams, whatever those are? Is she overcoming adversity? Where has your music taken you that you wanted to go? What are you proud of about it? Is it a raw talent thing? Is it a hard work thing? Somebody coming to you after a show and telling you that you connected? What about your daughter? I'll bet you have something more specific you can talk about just like I'll bet Lusid has something to talk about.
Astro: There's a story there worth hearing. Why did you get thrown out? What is it about your situation that makes your grandmother cool in spite of the rest of your family?
knowrites: You should be proud. I have one of your drawings in a desk drawer right here in my office, until I can figure out what I want to do with it. You're a talented artist, and I hope you use this thread as an opportunity to post a few pieces (new or old) reminding us of that.
breakfast: What are those achievements? What are you studying, and what makes you passionate about it? I personally hope it's something in biotech, because you went over my head on that subject in very short order a couple threads ago.
kese: What work are you doing to make that happen? What's your family/social situation such that you feel you have that already? I went through the same thing with my father. After I left school (which wasn't the right place for me, I already knew hat I wanted to do when I grew up and they canceled the one class I cared about for lack of interest), I struggled with the same thing with my father. I'll never forget the look on his face or the sound of his voice eight years later when he and I were standing in his garage and I told him that he and I now had the very same job title. It's cool as fuck when you pull off something your parents didn't expect you to be able to do -- a feeling well worth working for.
If you're posting in this thread and you're being guarded or afraid of coming off as goofy, ask yourself why. If you're really proud of something, it should be worth gushing over.

Plan to control flooding in Englewood unveiled
Published: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 3:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 3:54 p.m.
ENGLEWOOD - Heavy rainfall turns Neal and Gail Chamberlain's yard into something resembling a small lake.
Englewood residents who want to share information with Sarasota County officials about areas in their neighborhoods that flood after heavy rainfalls or make other suggestions about drainage improvements may email firstname.lastname@example.com.
"We're going to have our own island," Neal joked of his home at the intersection of Bayshore Drive and Chadwick Road.
The Chamberlains were among more than a dozen Englewood residents who attended an informal forum at the Elsie Quirk Library on Wednesday about Sarasota County's update of a flood management plan for neighborhoods along Lemon Bay.
The study is the latest in a series of updates of flood management plans for mainland neighborhoods in the watersheds of the county's waterways.
More than 52 square miles of Lemon Bay's 74.5-square-mile watershed is within Sarasota County and includes 80 lakes and ponds and 29 streams and canals.
"We're looking for the public to provide input in this study to be shared with the County Commission, probably at the beginning of next year," said Scott Woodman, a surface water planning supervisor with the county.
At that time, county officials will make recommendations — such as where aging or undersized drainage pipelines need to be replaced or stormwater ponds dug.
The county commissioners will determine what projects can be done with existing dollars or if any would be financed with a special assessment on affected homeowners' property tax bills.
For some projects, Woodman said, the county may seek financial help from the Southwest Florida Water Management District, which is assisting with the update.
The ongoing study does not concern storm surges or global warming issues, nor will it get into flood insurance issues or flood maps authorized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Woodman said.
The county's current effort strictly concerns the outcome of a heavy rainfall, as much as 10 inches in a 24-hour period, Woodman said.
The county's goal is to keep rainwater out of structures, off evacuation routes and at a minimum on neighborhood streets.
Chris Mastropieri said his 1979 home on Larson Street is near newer homes built on elevated lots.
"We're like a drain," Mastropieri said of his property.
If the county cleared a silt-filled ditch in that area, "it would help," he said. "Who knows when it was last dredged?"
A resident near Englewood Isles, who asked not to be identified because he is a county employee, aired a similar complaint.
Three ditches near his home are frequently clogged, he said. "I just never see any maintenance done on them. I've removed logs."
When the ditches back up, his property floods, he said. "You can canoe up and down the driveway."
Mike Heans, who resides near Old Englewood Road and Wentworth Street, said he has not experienced serious flooding there. He attended the forum "just to find out what's going on with our county dollars."

The skating rinks near St. Paul's Lutheran Church became available for skaters Wednesday, Jan 2. The warming house at the skating rink is open from 3 to 10 p.m., but the ice is available any time and is flooded regularly. In the cold of winter, skating is one way to get some exercise while enjoying the fresh, crisp air of Minnesota.
The rinks were flooded a little later than usual due to the warm December weather, but according to the parks department, once the process began it went relatively smoothly – similar to years past. In the past, the rinks were opened during or before Christmas week.
Ice skating on the St. James rinks is free, but skates aren't provided. Skating is open to anyone looking for a good time and a cure to cabin fever over the winter season.
Hockey and broomball equipment is available upon request at the city hall.

What trumps an executive jet that seats six? Well, how about one that takes 10 passengers? For some people, bigger is always better. Houses, boats, wristwatches, cheeseburgers, cup sizes, computers . . . a few extra feet, millimeters, layers, letters or gigabytes make all the difference. This is what I ponder when driving a Lexus LS460, especially so soon after falling a little bit in love with the company�s exquisite�but smaller�GS450h sedan. (Even if it is a hybrid.)
The status-y LS four-doors sit atop the Lexus range; they�re 10 inches longer and an inch and a half wider than the GS models; there�s also a stretch version of the LS that�s five inches longer yet. So an LS is seriously bigger than a GS�on the outside. Inside, however, front and rear passenger spaces are almost the same on both cars, including the stretch model, to within an inch or so in all dimensions. Curious. Fit, finish and materials are equal also. Aha, the LS driver�s seat adjusts 16 ways while the GS driver has to live with just 10 adjustments! But wait�the standard GS stereo has 12 speakers while the LS�s has only 10! And this LS has an 8-speed automatic transmission�but the GS450h comes with a continuously variable transmission that has an infinite number of �gears.�
Rather than go cross-eyed sifting through the specs, let me call out a few more-telling numbers instead: First, every variant of each car will sprint to 60 MPH in six seconds or less and cruise at speeds that will get us jailed without parole. Second, this hulking LS460 AWD�with its 4.6-liter V-8 tuned for 360 horsepower (386 in the rear-wheel-drive model)�averages about 18 MPG while the GS hybrid goes fully 10 miles farther on a gallon. Finally, the big car costs $72,000 to start, and the smaller one $48,000. (Comparing hybrid to hybrid, the LS600h gets 20 MPG and costs $120,000; the hybrid GS starts at just $59,000.)
So is bigger still better? Not in my world, at least when it comes to Lexus sedans.
This is true from behind the steering wheel as well. I�ve been in cathedrals that weren�t as hushed and serene as this LS460, but driving it amounts to aiming between the white lines. The car doesn�t misbehave in any way�it doesn�t float or bounce, sway in corners or nose-dive under braking�it�s just that there are layers of gauze between the driver and the road. If driving is your time to review voicemail while sipping coffee and touching up your lip gloss, this may be a good thing; you won�t be distracted. After all, thanks to the active and passive safety gear that Lexus packs into these cars, we hardly need to pay attention any more anyway. (Right?)
So the LS460 isn�t a full-on autobahn-stormer; but it is a fine place to be. Our example was modestly outfitted with just $10,000 worth of options (backup camera, power rear sunshade, blind-spot and cross-traffic monitors, upgraded wheels, leather and stereo, and assorted cold-weather goodies to go with the AWD), so it lacked the self-adjusting air suspension, but it was still a technological tour de force. And the more I use Lexus�s unique Remote Touch computer mouse-type controller, the more I like it�and the more I appreciate the two large display screens, too.
Back to actual driving: Even this �stripper� LS offers a choice between Snow, Eco, Normal and Sport settings, which mostly alter how quickly the throttle and transmission respond to the driver�s foot. The differences from one mode to the next are subtle, but I adopted Sport because it seemed to strip away one of those layers of gauze, at no cost in passenger comfort.
An $82,000 stripper? Yes, and a few carefree moments with the order form�as you consider the Ultra Luxury Package ($4,800), the Executive Class Seating Package ($7,555), the Advanced Pre-Collision safety system ($6,500) and the F Sport handling upgrade ($8,350)�can easily drive the price into six figures.
Which boxes you tick will depend on whether you�re the driver or you have a driver. But if you�re one of those bigger-is-better people, it hardly matters. The LS is simply 10 or 15 inches more better than the next sedan in the Lexus family, end of discussion.

Almirall: COPD drug approved
27.07.2012 - Spanish drugmaker Almirall S.A.'s inhaled treatment for lung disease COPD has been approved in all EU member states, plus Iceland and Norway.
The approval by the European Commission was expected after the CHMP gave the twice-daily drug a positive opinion in May covering use as a maintenance bronchodilator treatment to relieve symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). US approval is expected in July.
Florence-based Menarini Group will have joint commercialisation rights across the majority of EU member states (excluding the UK, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries, where Almirall retains sole marketing rights for the product) as well as Russia, Turkey and other CIS countries under the brand name Bretaris Genuair, while Almirall will market the product in Europe as Eklira Genuair.
Almirall's treatment loosens the muscles around the lungs to improve airflow. COPD makes breathing difficult and is often caused by cigarette smoking, which kills between 200,000 and 300,000 people in Europe a year, Almirall said.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-03/almirall-copd-drug-approved.html

Newly released data show that interests for a coalition lobbying for repeal of a Virginia law banning uranium mining plied state legislators with nearly $140,000 in campaign contributions since and almost that much in gifts.
Records compiled by the nonprofit and nonpartisan Virginia Public Access Project show that Senate Democratic Leader Richard Saslaw, a powerful supporter of ending the ban, got nearly $15,000 in contributions for his political action committee.
Fifteen legislators the past two years accepted gifts from the monied consortium with total values topping $10,000 or more for nine lawmakers.

GIS at the Smithsonian Institution
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) relate to the overall emphases of the Smithsonian Institution, which are as follows:
First, with infrastructure improvement, GIS technology can be coupled with facilities software for monitoring and maintaining the physical plant and grounds of the museum complex.
Second, GIS may be used with other tools for planning and designing floor space. Floor plans in most computer-aided drafting (CAD) formats can be easily transferred to GIS. Information concerning department personnel, space assignments, exhibit layouts, utilities, and furniture/equipment inventories can be accessed from existing museum data bases. Short- and long-term planning with GIS for both current and projected space requirements enable the user to: lay out permanent and movable walls, doors, windows, and supporting building services such as HVAC, electrical and lighting systems; locate available space; and explore alternative solutions for placing large exhibits or departments in multistory buildings. All of the above were incorporated throughout the institution in the 1990s using an AutoCad-based facilities management programs: Archibus and Aperture. In 2003, the Office of facilities Engineering and Operations (OFEO) signed an inter-agency agreement with NASA for consulting services as OFEO incorporates all of its existing architectural, engineering and utilities drawings and CAD files into a GIS.
Third, for geographic education of the public, GIS are perfect mediums with which to create electronic atlases on exhibit showing biodiversity, distribution, or cultural, ecological and geological changes. An exhibition, titled The Power of Maps, concerning cartography as a medium and a metaphor for understanding the world and our place in it, took place at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum from October 1992 to March 1993, and was repeated at SI's International Gallery from November 1993 through January 1994. A variety of historic and contemporary maps were presented, illustrating how maps are researched and compiled, designed and structured (map language), updated, and analyzed. This exhibit included an integration of GIS by ESRI, whereby GIS methodology was demonstrated through the display of non-static interactive maps on Arc/Info and ArcView. In 2003, the Global Volcanism Program is building an exhibit and web-based interactive mapping program concerning volcanoes and earthquakes around the world, to be updated every six minutes.
Fourth, regarding basic research at the Smithsonian, GIS and GPS are instruments that permit the efficient and accurate collection of spatial data, while combining and comparing time-sequential maps and satellite imagery for estimating global change and environmental degradation. The analytical and statistical capabilities within GIS then allow analysis and determination of causative factors. GIS are also ideal for comparing species diversity of flora or fauna with variables in their habitats so as to better design or manage biosphere reserves and conservation areas with which Smithsonian scientists are involved, such as at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. Conversely, habitats can be identified with overlay analysis producing maps of where field teams might locate rare or endangered species of plants and animals.
Fifth, the Collections Division use GIS to spatially catalogue when and where items were collected in addition to where they are stored now. Subsequently, many studies using GPS and GIS would then be able to access the collections research information system's (CRIS) RapidMap project on the World Wide Web for historical geographic information on a variety of topics that may undergo overlay analyses. A note of caution: since the Smithsonian's institutional collections currently total over 142 million objects, the completion of the CRIS modernization program is not anticipated soon.
Sixth, GIS can be utilized as a spatial demographic tool for marketing and development and to reach existing and potentially new members and contributors, as is happening with our development offices that are using the BusinessMAP program. And seventh, GIS are good tools for cataloguing and tracking the worldwide extent of Smithsonian international activities, as is being accomplished by the GIS unit at the Conservation and Research Center.
Coordinated from the Automatic Data Processing (ADP) Office is a GIS special interest group covering more than 400 installations of software for people from several different bureaus: Conservation and Research Center (CRC), National Air and Space Museum (NASM), National Museum of American History (NMAH), National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), National Zoological Park (NZP), Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC), Smithsonian Libraries (SIL), and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI). These people represent many disciplines; they have a great commitment to continued noncompetitive GIS development at the Smithsonian and to the creation of a strong partnership among units and individuals who together can comprise a working GIS support network.
To learn more about the capabilities of GIS, group members initiated several prototype projects in 1989 including studies of Washington, D.C. area flora, South American primate distribution, three-dimensional (3D) geological analyses of paleobiological and archeological excavations in southern Kenya, land-cover change on the island of Palau, and small mammal and bird distributions at the CRC in Front Royal, Virginia. These projects were accomplished on the GIS software, pcARC/INFO, by staff on their spare time or by volunteers. Group members cultivated contacts with outside groups and vendors that produced benefits for the Smithsonian, including data exchange and donations or loans of hardware and software.
Currently, occasional GIS related seminars are presented and a series of monthly GIS classes are offered at the NMNH Computer Learning Center to all staff and visiting interns and professionals (including a number of foreign nationals) who are interested in using GIS with their future projects.

Two arrested in connection with Lockport meth lab
Published: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 9:08 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 9:57 a.m.
Two Lafourche residents have been arrested after sheriff's agents allegedly discovered a methamphetamine lab in a Lockport home Tuesday, authorities said.
Arrested were Kyle Trosclair, 29, of 128 Rubaiyat Drive, Thibodaux, and Shelby Howard, 19, of 126 Myrtle Drive in Lockport, the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office reported today.
Trosclair is charged with creation or operation of a clandestine lab and possession of marijuana (second offense), methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, the Sheriff's Office said. He is being held in the Lafourche Parish jail in lieu of a $70,250 bond. Howard was charged with creation or operation of a clandestine lab and is being held in lieu of a $5,000 bond.
Deputies were tipped off to the possible meth lab in Howard's home Tuesday, the Sheriff's Office says in a news release. Upon arriving at the home, agents discovered several items commonly used in the manufacture of meth and two bottles that were believed to contain byproducts of meth production. They learned that Howard had purchased items for Trosclair to cook meth. The Lafourche Parish Combined Meth Lab Response Team arrived and found further evidence the house was being used as a meth lab.
Howard was booked and arrested, and an arrest warrant was issued for Trosclair.
On Wednesday, while in Thibodaux investigating an unrelated case, agents found Trosclair fueling his car at a gas station, according to the Sheriff's Office. He was taken into custody without incident, and police discovered illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia in his car.

The Seenos have settled three contentious civil lawsuits involving former business associates at a long-dormant Nevada real estate venture.
A Seeno spokesman confirmed late Thursday night that a confidential agreement was reached and that the trio of suits would be dismissed.
James Pisanelli, the Seeno's Las Vegas lawyer, released a statement saying: "The parties have reached a comprehensive settlement of all pending litigation. The financial terms of the settlement are confidential and the Seeno/WNG parties offer no comment as to the litigation or any aspect of the agreement at this time, except that all litigation by and between the parties will be dismissed."
The Seenos' Bay Area companies are still mired in a federal investigation that has led to indictments against an employee and business associates. They also face an environmental charge of installing illegal septic tanks at their Nevada golf course.
In the January 2012 lawsuit that was just settled, the Seenos sued Harvey Whittemore, a former Nevada lobbyist and friend of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, alleging he embezzled and misappropriated tens of millions of dollars from their joint company.
Days later, Whittemore and his wife sued Albert Seeno Jr., his brother Thomas Seeno and his son Albert III for $1.8 billion in damages, claiming the Seeno father and son were involved in racketeering, extortion, grand larceny and threats. While no criminal charges were filed, the former Nevada political power broker said Seeno Jr. and his son threatened him and his family, even sending thugs to their homes to force open a safe filled with jewelry and breaking into a house to steal computer equipment.
The Seenos' attorney at the time denied all charges.
In July, Bradley Mamer, the former president and CEO of Wingfield Nevada Group, sued the three Seenos, Michael Ghiorso and Kevin McCauley, asking for more than $500,000 in damages. He accused them of racketeering involving such criminal activities as extortion, tax fraud, and mail and wire fraud. In the lawsuit, Mamer alleged the Seeno-led company ran afoul of environmental regulations, violated tax laws and tried to swap the Nevada land for the Concord Naval Weapons Station. A Seeno spokesman has denied those allegations.
Seeno lawyer Kent Robison confirmed the settlement, telling the Reno Journal Gazette: "The parties have resolved their differences. Period. That's all I can say on the record."
Seeno spokesman Sam Singer said in an e-mail, "The financial terms of the settlement are confidential and the Seeno/WNG parties offer no comment as to the litigation or any aspect of the agreement at this time, except that all litigation by and between the parties will be dismissed."
Whittemore's attorney Dan Bowen said the settlement was "on terms that were acceptable to all parties, including the Whittemores and their family."
Mamer's attorney, Bruce Mundy, said, "Brad is satisfied and is glad to be moving along with his life."
The lawsuits were settled in Clark County District Court.
Whittemore still faces criminal charges in federal court surrounding allegations he used his family and employees to make illegal campaign contributions to Reid in 2007. His trial is May 14.

It's easy to have a conversation with Astrid Ramos, but if you really want to get her going, ask her about rugby.
The 15-year-old is a sophomore at Summit High School and a member of the girls' rugby team. She's been playing the sport for two years and is absolutely hooked. Now, she wants to share that passion with others.
Ramos is putting together a rugby camp Feb. 17 for boys and girls in third, fourth and fifth grade. The four-hour course will emphasize the non-contact aspects of the sport. Participants will learn how to handle the ball, pass and play defense, as well as some fun games.
"I want to get them hooked on it and have a good experience," Ramos said.
Ramos' camp, which she calls Rugby Rascals, first came about as a school project. As part of the International Baccalaureate program, high school students are required to complete a personal project in their sophomore year. At first, Ramos struggled to come up with an idea.
"I wanted to do something that really wasn't for myself, it would benefit other people," she said, but she just wasn't sure how to do it.
After some thinking and discussion with teachers, she hit upon a way to blend this project with her personal passion.
"I decided that I would share rugby with kids," she said.
Ramos herself wishes she had been introduced to rugby at an earlier age. An avid athlete in elementary and middle school, participating in dance, gymnastics, tennis and cheerleading, among others, she didn't experience rugby until sixth grade. It wasn't love at first sight, however, and Ramos decided not to play.
"I didn't understand it," she said.
Some of that misunderstanding can be blamed on a language barrier. Ramos grew up in Mexico, so her native language is Spanish. Though now her English is perfect, when she arrived in Summit County five years ago it wasn't so fluent. Additionally, rugby, like all sports, comes with a hefty dose of confusing jargon that can easily baffle anyone not familiar with scrums, rucks and tries.
Ramos' next run-in with rugby happened several years later, when a friend suggested they head over to Dairy Queen after school. The ice cream was a ruse, and the two ended up at rugby practice.
"She totally tricked me into rugby practice," Ramos said with a laugh.
Now, Ramos plays the scrum half and halfback positions and is excited for the upcoming trip to nationals in May.
But between then and now, she wants to pass on her knowledge to the younger generation of Summit County.
To complete her project, Ramos first had to get certified to teach rugby. She contacted USA Rugby and arranged for a certification course at the high school. Many of her teammates joined, and also accompanied Ramos in giving lessons at Silverthorne and Summit Cove elementary schools.
"Everyone on the team has helped me a lot," she said.
The project has presented Ramos with some challenges, particularly in regard to organization and clear communication, which she has worked to overcome.
"If I want this to work, I should probably try to fix this," she told herself after one setback. Now, Ramos said, "I'm feeling pretty confident."
Ramous also said she would like to continue Rugby Rascals after her project is finished, into the summer and beyond. She wants to build a youth rugby league, which would continue even after she graduates.
"I really can't explain it," she said, when asked why rugby was so important to her. "It's not just the game, but the culture of the sport."
It's also something she wants to keep doing beyond high school.
"I would really like to keep rugby as part of my life."

Immigration: Vote for Reform Won Nov. 6
Published: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 12:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 12:10 a.m.
Excerpted from an editorial by the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
In a hopeful sign, President Obama's victory awakened some Republicans to the reality that America's changing demographics should prompt a shift in the party's opposition to reform. Several GOP lawmakers and prominent conservatives such as Grover Norquist, Haley Barbour and even pundit Sean Hannity said Republicans should stop being an impediment. ...
During his election night speech, Obama cited "fixing our immigration system" as a second-term priority, and Americans should hold him to that pledge.
But winning support from the Republican-controlled House is far from sure because of the Tea Party's continued chokehold there. ...
Democrats must be open to improving security along the U.S.-Mexico border, even though the number of illegal immigrants has dropped dramatically during Obama's tenure due to aggressive deportation policies, decline in birth rates in Mexico and a weak U.S. economy.
Roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants live in America. In Election Day exit polls, 65 percent of voters said they supported giving them a chance to apply for legal status. In addition, there's broad support for humane reforms by evangelical Christians and Catholics, key GOP constituencies. A large segment of the U.S. business community also favors reform in the face of anticipated worker shortages as baby boomers retire.
The impact of the Hispanic vote on Nov. 6 offers yet another incentive for GOP lawmakers to work with the president and Democrats. But apart from the politics, comprehensive immigration reform that strengthens border security while providing clear pathways to legal status is the right thing to do.
