During the initial interview with a client a standard question that I use is "how do you feel about your running form, do you think you have good form, or do you think you look like Ikabod Crane"? "Do you strike the ground with your heel first, whole foot, or toes"? I ask these questions in order to determine what direction the rest of the consultation should take. If there is a suspicion that faulty running form might be contributing to the injury or poor performance the examination will need to include a slow motion video analysis of the running form. If the feeling is that the client has good form, this suggests that the manner of running is unlikely contributing to the injury or poor performance and that the consultation should investigate the individuals training program or their anatomical structure.
In response to my questions what I hear most often is, "I don't know". On face value it is somewhat surprising that so many runners don't know whether they have good running form or not. A Physical Therapist colleague Doug Kelsey has described this quick answer I don't know as "It pops out of a client's mouth like a piece of toast out of a toaster". Doug suggests that when they answer "I don't know" comes so quickly, it is quite likely they do know, and they're just buying some time to figure out what they feel and how to say it. Of course some clients truly don't have a clue whether they have good or poor running form/technique.
I believe a majority of runners do have some awareness of how they feel about their running form/technique. Now whether the self awareness about their running form is accurate or not is another question. In my experience some clients would best be described as having a false positive opinion of their running form, that is, they think they have good running form, but really don't. Of course we could debate for quite some time what is good running form. Despite years of study, volumes of publications and the practical experience of the best coaches there continues to be controversy regarding what is ideal running form/technique. Currently, delineating what is correct running form is more art than science, and it is based more on theory than evidence.
There continues to be a pervading philosophy that it is dangerous to tamper with a runner's natural stride and running form. I believe this opinion was based on research showing that the most economical running occurs when the runner was allowed to choose his own strike length as opposed to running at a stride length which was longer or shorter than his/her preferred stride length. You can still find articles today that will tell you that a runner's form will develop naturally over time. This concept is contrary to every other sport, where it is expected that coaches will teach the correct manner to perform the skill. It is expected that a novice basketball player will be taught the fundamental movements to shoot a basketball, or to assume a defensive stance. It is expected that a novice golfer receive instruction and feedback in the proper form and technique of a golf swing. It would be considered illogical to believe a novice golfer will develop ideal golf swing on his own over time. Too often it is assumed that novice runner knows how to run correctly. It is true that a runner's form develops over time, but that does not mean that it will be ideal running form.
There is a growing consensus that striving to eliminate awkward running form is an excellent method of becoming a more efficient injury free runner. The theory is and there is some evidence that learning to run with better form leads to more economical distance running. The theory is and there is some evidence that learning to run with better form a runner is less likely to experience an injury.
Given that a runner may have a false positive image of their running form, and that having better running form should lead to more economical injury free running, the first challenge is for a self coached runner is to obtain a valid image of their running form. Visual feedback with photos and video recordings can verify self image or provide evidence of an individuals running form. Over the past 30 years video technology has progressed to make it relatively easy to obtain a visual data. Even in-expensive digital cameras often have a video setting, and often cell phones can record video data. Once digital video data is uploaded to a computer playback applications can vary the speed of the playback between normal speeds to slow speed or frame by frame.
Given the video data of an individual's running form the next challenge is assessing the data in order to determine whether the running form is good or faulty. Sometimes faults are so obvious it is easy to identify. Other times subtle but significant faults require analysis by an expert. Once faults are identified a runner can endeavor to eliminate the faults
Even though it sounds clichéd to say "what gets measured gets done". If the goal is to improve running form, measurement of running form needs to occur, and recording of running form should be stored. A common procedure is to measure workouts and race times. The concept of measuring and recording the manner of running (running form/technique) with visual data makes sense, but this is not a common procedure. If a runner measures and assesses their running form/technique, they can quickly and accurately answer the question "how do you feel about your running form"?
When asked how they feel about their running form, some individuals accurately recognize they have bad form. These individuals often express the opinion that "I don't need to see my running form/style I know it's bad". There is some truth to this belief. A great deal of enjoyment occurs from running for exercise even though the running form/technique looks like Ikabod Crane. However, faulty running technique can contribute to the development of an injury, in which case it becomes worthwhile to obtain visual data about running form/technique.

Out of the 54 films premiering at this weekend's 32nd annual Breckenridge Festival of Film, it's time to take a closer look at three of them.
The festival's goal is to enrich lives through the ideas and emotions inspired by the art of filmmaking. Many films also focus on raising awareness for certain causes through not only documentaries, but through fictional pieces as well, which is what the following films managed to do.
One, co-produced by a Summit County native, takes on the worldwide human trafficking issue in a fictional, yet very real, film. Another, a documentary focusing on the Roma, a group of people still fighting to overcome the results of massive genocide during the Holocaust. And a documentary that sheds light on Argentina's Malbec wine and it's growing popularity.
Current Littleton resident, but previous Breck native, Bill Bolthouse and his family are behind "Trade of Innocents," a drama that follows a grieving American couple through Cambodia while they get caught up in a world of criminals, sexual predators and innocent children.
"It's a ride," Bolthouse said about the film. "It will take to you to different places emotionally - sadness, fear and anger, but it leaves you with a sense of hope." Bolthouse and his family visited Cambodia in 2007 and realized the human trafficking and sexual slavery happening in the country.
"Because of that sobering experience, my family has been passionate about the anti-trafficking movement, helping fund organizations that fight against this horrific crime that exists not only in far-flung countries but right here at home."
Christopher Bessette, who directed Trade of Innocents, came to Bolthouse in 2009 wanting to create film he had in his heart since visiting Cambodia and filming for a TV show about trafficking.
Two and half years later, Bolthouse and Bessette are ready to premiere the film, which stars Mira Sorvino and Dermot Mulraney, Saturday at 9 p.m. in the Riverwalk Center.
Although a fictional drama, the 90-minute film is based on real events. It brings out all aspects of trafficking, such as the Cambodian police corruption, the ruthlessness of brothel owners, as well as beauty and innocence of young girls victimized by human trafficking.
Through the film, Bolthouse is hoping to raise awareness of the issue and point viewers to 32 vetted organizations that are on the front lines in investigation, aftercare and prevention.
Switching gears into the documentary category, "A People Uncounted" is the true story of a romanticized and ostracized people, the Roma, whose genocide during the Holocaust left them struggling to overcome their past, even as they face a frightening resurgence of racism and persecution in present-day Europe.
Canadian director Aaron Yeger said the film will take the audience on "a journey through the past that exposes how the current struggle among Roma for rights reflects their persecution during the Holocaust."
While working on another documentary, Yeger was asked to join the team to create "A People Uncounted." He was looking for a project that would make a positive change in the world, and he said he knew this could be his vehicle.
The team consists of producers Marc Swenker and Tom Rasky, Yeger as director editor Kurt Engfehr, cinematographer Stephen Whitehead and music director Robi Botos.
Swenker and Rasky, both Jewish and children of Holocaust survivors, dreamed up the idea of "A People Uncounted" after a conversation with a Roma friend who told them of his own people's experiences in the genocide.
During the film's journey through 11 countries and dozens of Roma interviews, the friends discovered common ground despite differing ethnicities.
The documentary asks viewers to consider the common humanity that bonds all races. A People Uncounted drives home the reality that mankind has yet to learn from its past mistakes and fully understand the roots of intolerance.
"By learning about the experiences of the Roma, we gain insight into how this history of prejudice may be put to an end," Yeger said.
Keeping with the documentary and outside Summit County theme, "Boom Varietal" is a full-length documentary about Argentina's Malbec wine.
Malbec wine, which is growing in popularity in the U.S., has seen a booming revival that was nearly lost.
Not only does the documentary follow the Malbec journey from France to Argentina's dry climate, but it also follows the wine growers and the Argentine culture.
"This film captures the lives of both the wine growers and the Malbec grape itself in a very educational and captivating way. This film will stand with the best wine documentaries ever produced," executive producer Kirk Ermisch said.
The team spent 18 months in Malbec country following wine growers, makers and field workers, a culture that director Sky Pinnick admits he "knew almost nothing about."
"It wasn't easy producing a film in a foreign country, but we were able to cross cultural barriers and tell an amazing story that I think people will connect with in any language," Pinnick said.

Mozilla Shows Support for Mobile Operating System
Trying to grab a spot as the third major mobile operating system is a daunting task. Mozilla is attempting that feat with an unconventional playbook, and appears to be winning over some supporters.
At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona Sunday, the non-profit maker of the popular Firefox browser provided an update on how its previously announced software plans are being accepted by mobile carriers, handset makers and other partners that have plans to use Firefox OS in some fashion.
The list includes handset makers Alcatel One Touch, LG, ZTE and Huawei. "There are more coming," said Gary Kovacs, Mozilla's chief executive.
Another supporter is mobile chip kingpin Qualcomm, which has an obvious interest in bringing smartphones to an even broader audience–particularly in emerging economies, where low prices are paramount. Think prices of $150 or less for unsubsidized handsets, hundreds of dollars less than iPhones, for example.
Key to understanding Firefox OS is that it is based on the emerging development language known as HTML5. The theory is that there are many more people familiar with the relatively simple chore of making Web pages than the developers who know how to write programs for specific mobile operating systems.
In other words, Mozilla doesn't have to convince programmers to learn yet another entirely new development scheme, in addition to Apple's iOS operating system and Google's Android (or Microsoft and Blackberry alternatives, for that matter). And the apps they make also are expected to also work on those devices–assuming they come with HTML5-equipped browsers–as well as on Firefox OS devices.
Paul Jacobs, Qualcomm's chief executive, said during a press event Sunday that such "cross-platform" apps should translate into a "very large" ecosystem of software. "We are targeting this platform for very high-volume smartphones," he said.
Another conceptual shift is the fact that, though Firefox OS will have its own app store–like Apple and Google operate–individual app makers will be able to sell software directly to consumers. So can carriers, who dominated an earlier era of mobile software but have largely been superseded by Apple and Google in the current generation of smartphone app sales.
"The network operator can be a full participant in the customer relationship," says Jay Sullivan, Mozilla's vice president of products.
The first phones based on Firefox OS are expected to be released later this year in Brazil, Colombia, Hungary, Mexico, Montenegro, Poland, Serbia, Spain and Venezuela.
Here is the lengthy list of international carriers that Mozilla says have expressed support: América Móvil, China Unicom, Deutsche Telekom, Etisalat, Hutchison Three Group, KDDI, KT, MegaFon, Qtel, SingTel, Smart, Telecom Italia Group, Telefónica, Telenor, Telstra, TMN and VimpelCom. Sprint also issued a statement, saying it supports "an open mobile ecosystem."
Tony Crisp, an analyst for the research firm Ovum, called the signs of Firefox OS's support a "huge achievement" for a seeming underdog in the mobile device wars. But he cautioned the real test will be just how well the phones, and apps, based on the new operating system work and whether customers warm to them.
"What is clear from the Firefox OS demonstration handsets that we have seen was that they are still some way from being market ready, being both slow and buggy," Crisp writes in an email. "These issues must be overcome before Firefox OS devices find their way into consumers' hands."

California's insurance regulator said car-booking services like Uber Technologies should provide coverage to reimburse victims when non-professional drivers in their networks are involved in crashes.
Commissioner Dave Jones also named Lyft and Side.Cr Wednesday in a statement recommending that the companies have $1 million of commercial liability coverage starting from when a driver switches on one of their mobile apps. He urged the California Public Utilities Commission to amend regulations to fill insurance gaps. The startups connect vehicle owners with strangers looking for a ride.
Such networks are "encouraging non-professional drivers to use their personal vehicles to drive passengers for a profit, a risk which personal automobile insurance simply does not cover," Jones said in the statement. "Our recommendations will ensure there is insurance protection for passengers, drivers and pedestrians."
The networks have drawn scrutiny as their popularity increases. Uber, which counts Google Inc.'s venture-capital arm among its investors, has faced criticism in some cities for using drivers who don't have taxi or limousine licenses. The company was sued in January by the parents of a six-year-old girl killed in San Francisco by a driver linked to the company.
Uber said Jan. 1 that the driver was "a partner of Uber" who wasn't providing services on the company's system during the time of the accident.

New program targets restoring hemlocks
WNC Communities has announced a new awards program offering $50,000 to help support efforts to restore hemlocks to long-term health throughout North Carolina.
The awards program is a part of the new Hemlock Restoration Initiative, a cooperative effort launched by North Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture Steve Troxler and the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services through a grant to WNC Communities.
The goal of the initiative is to work with and through current restoration initiatives to ensure that Eastern and Carolina hemlocks can resist the deadly hemlock woolly adelgid and survive to maturity on North Carolina's public and private lands by 2025.
WNC Communities expects to distribute a total of three awards this year, each ranging from $10,000 to $25,000, to support various restoration initiatives. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, colleges and universities, and local government agencies. Individual landowners and businesses are not eligible to apply.
Some of the possible areas of award activity include the search for natural resistance, chemical control, biological control, breeding for resistance and public outreach and technical assistance. The award activity must occur within a 17-county area in Western North Carolina.
Proposals are due July 18. Funding decisions will be made by a special advisory committee and the board of WNC Communities to support activities beginning after September 1. For the complete request for proposals and related application forms, contact George Ivey, project coordinator, at 712-6474 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Mills River Agricultural Advisory Committee will meet at 9 a.m. Friday in the Common Room of Town Hall in conjunction with voluntary agriculture district sign-ups.
The Transylvania Tea Party will hold a politically neutral symposium at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Community Services Building, 98 E. Morgan St., Brevard. The panel will be moderated by Lori Swank and will consist of Dick Thompson, Scott McCall, Don Surrette, Karen Alcorn and Darrell Hogsed. The moderated panel will discuss what is known of this new county initiative and answer questions from the audience.
Wingate University will hold an information session at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at 220 Fifth Ave. E., Hendersonville for the Hendersonville Campus's MBA Program. Info: 980-3591031 or email mbryant@ wingate.edu.

Here's the demo version of Slow Man using the Buck beat:
That has an additional verse as well. I definitely prefer the Buck beats over what the live band did, but I do like the live band stuff in a different way. I just wish they didn't change things so drastically once we were in the studio. It became a matter of them throwing their own style and twist on demos I had recorded. Brian Deck, the producer, guided everything in that way.

Olympic silver or gold!
Roger made his dream for an Olympic medal come true today, winning the longest tennis singles match in Olympic history! He defeated Juan Del Potro 3-6, 7-6, 19-17 after four hours and 26 minutes of play.
Roger and Del Potro showed an incredibly dramatic semi-final today, with Del Potro scoring the a break in the first set to give him the advantage he needed. Roger won the tie-break of the second set, and then things really went wild. Del Potro missed a shot and gave our champ his first service break of the afternoon, after over three hours of play, and the chance to serve for the match at 10-9. But the Argentinian broke back - at love - to stay in the match. Only 16 (!) games later did Roger then earn himself the second chance to close out the match.
Roger will next face the winner of the other semifinal between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic in the quest for an Olympic gold medal on Sunday.
wotever happens fed will still b GOAT and don't think Murray can ever beat that!!
His only consolation will be that his pal Del Potro has won bronze against Djokovic.

PLEASANTON -- Corner Bakery Cafe has opened in Pleasanton and says the East Bay restaurant marks the vanguard of a big push into the Bay Area that will consist of 32 new locations in the region.
The restaurant is now open at 6770 Bernal Ave., in a Pleasanton shopping center that's anchored by a new Safeway supermarket. The retail complex also will offer a CVS drugstore.
The Pleasanton site is the first Bay Area location for Corner Bakery and is operated through a franchise by John Sweeney, General Manager of Restaurant Operations for Buon Hospitality.
The next Corner Bakery to open will be in Pleasant Hill. Sweeney said his company has just signed a lease in downtown Pleasant Hill.
"It's a relatively aggressive growth strategy," Sweeney said. "The plan is to open several new restaurants a year. We are actively pursuing more sites in the Bay Area."
The franchise agreement calls for Buon Hospitality to open the proposed 32 Corner Bakery restaurants in the Bay Area during the next seven years. Lockehouse Retail Group, a commercial realty firm, is conducting the hunt for Corner Bakery locations in the region.
The expansion means hundreds of new jobs -- each restaurant employs about 40 to 50 workers.
"Having Corner Bakery join our community is great," said Pamela Ott, director of Pleasanton's city Economic Development Department. "We didn't have these restaurants in the city."
The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
"It is a fast, casual concept that offers food for all three day parts," Sweeney said. "People understand good food, they understand good quality. They know what they want in a good dining experience."
For breakfast, the restaurant features hot, made-to-order food with a full array of dishes. For lunch, grilled panini and other specialty sandwiches are on the menu. For dinner, pasta, chicken and other items are offered. Baked goods and pastries can also be ordered. The restaurant's menu items range from 99 cents to $8.49 each, Sweeney said.
"People living in the Bay Area have busy lives, and are looking for a place that is reasonably priced, and they want to get that casual dining experience," Sweeney said. "With how the economy is now, we fit well into people's pocketbooks."
Sweeney hopes the Pleasant Hill location will be open by next May. That restaurant will be located on Crescent Drive near the movie theater complex west of Interstate 680.
Based on the typical hiring levels for each restaurant, Corner Baker could be adding 1,300 to 1,600 jobs to the regional economy in the coming few years.
"We are excited about the growth potential in the Bay Area," Sweeney said.

Herbalife: Ackman's Pyramid Scheme Allegation 'Bogus'
Herbalife isn't backing down from Bill Ackman.
In a statement released after the bell, Herbalife CEO Michael Johnson shot down the hedge-fund manager's accusations against the company, claiming they represent an attempt by a short seller to "illegally manipulate the market."
Earlier Wednesday, Ackman, founder and CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, called the maker of nutrition and weight-control products a pyramid scheme and said he's been shorting it for months.

- Herbalife Downgraded: Analyst Warns of Loan Covenant Breach After KPMG
Shares dropped 12% to $37.34 as of Wednesday's close, and were little changed in after-hours trading.
"The allegation that Herbalife is a pyramid scheme is bogus," Johnson said in a statement. "Make no mistake: Today's announcement isn't about Herbalife's business model. It's about Bill Ackman's business model."
From Herbalife's press release:
Here's what we know:
- An extraordinary number of puts on our stock are due to expire this Friday. We previously learned this activity was pegged to some kind of "significant event."
- Mr. Ackman suddenly announced today that he will make a presentation on Herbalife on Thursday, the day before the puts expire.
- Our CFO this morning asked Mr. Ackman to allow us to participate in his presentation. Mr. Ackman declined.
- We have been informed that Mr. Ackman has shorted our stock for the past 7 to 9 months.
- Our stock dropped almost 15 percent today following Mr. Ackman's announcement
Earlier Wednesday, Johnson offered a defense of the company in an interview on CNBC, in which he basically held that Ackman did not understand the company and was basing his position on a research report from a firm in New York.
In the press release, Johnson took his defense a step further, saying the SEC should investigate the matter. From Herbalife:
We urge the SEC to investigate these series of events to protect the rights of investors. This appears to be yet another attempt to illegally manipulate the market by overzealous short-sellers.
We've been in business for 32 years. We have millions of customers worldwide. We don't pay to recruit distributors. And just today, we announced a $100 million Herbalife manufacturing facility in North Carolina that will employ 500 people.
We have one of the greatest health nutrition product lines in the world and a direct-selling business opportunity for part-time or full-time income.
We are incredibly proud of this company.
Herbalife shares, which are down 28% this year, were hit particularly hard in May after another hedge-fund manager, David Einhorn, asked pointed questions about the company's financials during an earnings call. Einhorn is known for taking short positions in companies, although he hasn't disclosed whether he is, in fact, shorting Herbalife.
Ackman is scheduled to speak at an event tomorrow for the Ira Sohn Conference, which regularly holds high-profile gathers where investors share their ideas. He plans to outline why he is betting against the stock.

Center for Minimally Invasive Esophageal Therapies
At the Center for Minimally Invasive Esophageal Therapies at Boston Medical Center, we specialize in many of the latest and most effective treatments, including esophageal cryotherapy. Our team of highly trained and experienced specialists takes a collaborative approach to your treatment. We draw on medical expertise, state-of-the-art facilities and a patient-centered environment to provide you with the best medicine and the best medical care in New England.
Cryoablation, sometimes called cryotherapy, is a minimally invasive treatment used to destroy diseased cells in the esophagus caused by esophageal cancer and/or Barrett's esophagus. For cryoablation, a physician inserts a small tube (endoscope) through your mouth and into your esophagus. Once the endoscope is in place, liquid nitrogen is sprayed through the endoscope into the esophagus. The liquid nitrogen freezes the lining of your esophagus. The frozen cells die and are replaced by healthy cells. Cryoablation is used to treat Barrett's esophagus with high-grade dysplasia, and some early stage esophageal cancers. It can also be used to improve symptoms of advanced cancers. These symptoms include difficulty swallowing and bleeding.
How to Prepare
Tell your doctor if you have any allergies to medication or have had problems with anesthesia. Your doctor will give you any specific instructions about dietary or activity restrictions, as well as whether or not you should take your regular medications on the day of the procedure. Before treatment starts, your doctor will prescribe a medication that decreases stomach acid, such as Aciphex (rabeprazole), Nexium (esomeprazole) or Prilosec (omeprazole).
You will have cryoablation every three to eight weeks. The exact frequency depends on the specific problem in your esophagus and how it responds to the freezing treatments. Treatment ends when your doctor can find no abnormal tissue. You will be asked not to eat or drink after midnight on the night before your procedure. You may wish to ask a friend or family member to drive you to your procedure.
What to Expect
For the procedure, your doctor will examine the lining of your esophagus with an endoscope, which is a flexible, lighted tube with a video camera attached to it, by passing the endoscope through your mouth and throat. After the evaluation, your doctor will spray liquid nitrogen through the endoscope, destroying the diseased cells. After spraying the diseased cells, your doctor will remove the endoscope and the cryotherapy is completed. The cryotherapy procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
After the procedure, you will be taken to a recovery area until you are awake and alert. Because of the use of a sedative, you will not be able to drive and should arrange for a ride home.

UPDATE: Warmup expected today after cold snap
Published: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 6:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 9:13 a.m.
PORT CHARLOTTE - Cold snap or sunny day?
Sarasota appeared to miss breaking the record low for March 28 by one degree.
The temperature at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport fell to an unofficial 41 degrees just before sunrise this morning, one degree above the record mark set in 1969 for the date.
That's hardly a relief after two record-breaking low daytime highs. But today's high is expected to reach 70, which will be considerably warmer than the last few days, and Friday's temperatures, both the daytime high and overnight low are forecast to be closer to normal for late March.
Sunday and Monday's highs will be about 80 degrees.
Fleece wrap or bare skin?
Brrr or ahhh?
Sometimes, even with record-setting cold temperatures, it depends where you sit.
At Charlotte Sports Park, where it was 57 degrees at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Tampa Bay Rays fans shivered or tanned, depending on their exposure.
On the grassy berm next to left field, Dwayne and Michelle Sanders kicked off their sandals and soaked up the sun in shorts and T-shirts. The Indiana tourists even dozed off before the game began.
"It feels so good," Michelle said. "We always fall asleep in the sun."
On the first base side of the stadium, meanwhile, chilly fans bundled up in the shade with gloves, jackets and blankets for the "spring" training game.
Linda Naso, a visitor from New York, wrapped a red scarf around her head.
"I'm so glad I brought this," she joked. "I'm a warm-weather fan."
43 to 60 degrees
The National Weather Service office in Ruskin reported record and near-record temperatures for Sarasota on Wednesday, following Tuesday's record for a low maximum temperature for the date.
The low temperature for the day was 43 degrees, which approached the record of 40 set in 1969. The maximum temperature for the day was just 60 degrees, well below the previous record of 64, also set in 1969.
Forecasters expected the low temperature for early Thursday to again fall to 40 degrees, prompting Sarasota County officials to open cold weather shelters for a second conseuctive night.
The weather service posted a frost advisory for Manatee and several inland counties to the north for Wednesday night.
"We could be right at that or lower," said meteorologist John McMichael. "Then there's a warming trend for the rest of the week."
Average weather for late March would be lows in the mid-60s and highs in mid-70s. By Saturday, temperatures are expected to be back to normal.
Mild winter, brisk spring
Nancy Long, a snowbird from Springfield, Ill., wore a white poncho to the Rays-Blue Jays game on Wednesday afternoon.
She laughed about her bad luck, missing a mild winter only to catch a brisk spring.
"I've been here since March 1st," Long said. "I haven't worn the swimsuit I bought since I tried it on in the store."
Her Springfield friend, Ann Lacopo, wore a jacket, too, but she shrugged off the 50-degree chill.
"It's all relative; it's how you look at it," she said. "We came in from Illinois where there was a blizzard and 17 inches of snow. I'm not wearing my boots or winter coat, so I'm happy."
Toward the sun
Rays fans in the stands enjoyed pointing out the contrast between the bundled-up shiverers and the barefoot sunbathers.
On the shady side, one woman wore a fur coat and leopard-print gloves. Another couple wrapped themselves in a bright red sleeping bag.
Ron Fluty and his wife were fleeced and layered for the cold. They have season tickets, so they knew what to expect.
"Normally, you want to be in the shade, but not today," Fluty said. "The sun makes a big difference — the Florida sun. The Michigan sun, we never see it."
A trio of teenagers from Chicago gave up great seats behind home plate to sit on the grass out beyond left field. They slipped off their shoes and let the sun warm their pink feet.
"It makes all the difference in the world," said Ethan Ellis. "That, and whether or not it's windy."

Hi friends, I'm using this excellent piece of software for a while, but it's now when I've several 1080p movies to enjoy (MKV, mainly), previously I had a CPU Q6600, Motherboard ASUS P5QC, 3GB RAM, and Windows XP, and it worked fine ... but now I "upgraded" to Windows Vista Ultimate 64bits and increased the memory to 6GBs; but the video doesn't plays smoothly, I mean, the video starts, and 4-5 mins later, the 'gets stucked' playing some scenes well and other bad (not a fluid, continuous play, as 'jumping' instead ... if I pause it and play again, it plays fine ... for another 4-5 mins ... and so on.
I just installed the PS3 Media server (Current/last version), with no additional codecs ...
I don't know what to do to solve this -annoying- situation ... This is my Hobby and now, when I thought I could enjoy some fine HD movies, have this problem ... How can I know what's going on? It's the CPU that doesn't have enough power to decode a 1080p movie? (I saw about 20 movies when I had XP ... but I need to have Vista because I've some programs who needs it)? Or it's the network? (Wired, 100mbps)?
My Video card (I don't know if this matters in this case ... I use the PS3 Media Server to stream video, not plays it locally it's a 9600GT with 512MB.
Any Idea will be welcome,

SAN JOSE -- An argument between family members ended in the city's 14th homicide of the year on Wednesday, when a man visiting from Modesto was shot to death inside an East San Jose home, relatives said.
Police were called to the 2900 block of Westboro Drive at 12:13 p.m. on reports that someone had been shot.
"Me and my brother were coming home from the store, and a woman was outside crying and asking to use a phone, saying her husband was shot," said Juan Angulo, 18, who lives next door to the crime scene.
Police found the man suffering from at least one bullet wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene at about 12:25 p.m.
"We do believe others were inside the home at the time of the shooting," said San Jose police spokesman Sgt. Jason Dwyer. "We are not sure if they heard or saw anything."
Police did not release the victim's identity, but Joe Gomez identified the slain man as his brother Ralph Gomez, 46, of Modesto. He said his brother and his wife had been visiting San Jose and staying at the home, near South White and Story roads.
Joe Gomez said a close relative has been named as the suspected shooter, but San Jose police would not confirm that information Wednesday night.
"My brother and (relative) were arguing and a gun ended up being fired," Gomez said. "My brother got the worst of it."
He added that the victim and suspect grew up together and "were like brothers."
Gomez was with a group of relatives from Modesto who gathered outside red police tape at the scene Wednesday evening. They described the victim and his wife as a "perfect couple" who had been married for 24 years and have three adult children.
"I'm just shocked," said Gomez. "We're still waiting to hear what happened."
Police said the suspect fled in a vehicle and remains at large. The motive for the shooting remains under investigation.

3 killed in Asheville after car crashed into milk tanker truck
Published: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 7:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 7:45 a.m.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Three people have died in a crash with a milk tanker truck near Asheville on New Year's Day.
State troopers say a Volvo hydroplaned at about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday and slammed head-on into the tanker, which then dragged the car into an embankment.
All three people in the car died on impact. Investigators were still trying to figure out if speed or slick roads played a role in the crash.
Authorities haven't released names of the people killed. Trooper P.C. Lord says the truck driver suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The tanker was empty at the time of the wreck.

The Yellow Medicine East volleyball team begins their season 0-2 following a quick sweep at the hands of Central Minnesota Christian during YME's home opener Tuesday night at Espeland Gymnasium.
The BlueJays made quick work of the Sting; subduing them in straight games 25-11, 25-6 and 25-20.
The stats, like the games, play completely in CMCS's favor.
For the BlueJays Kari Blom was the offensive and defensive leader with 14 kills and 15 digs. She was followed by teammates Kristin Slagter and Alexis Scott, who each tallied 11 kills a piece.
Comparitively, Chyanne Sand paced YME with three kills and two ace blocks. Other kills came from Brooke Blue (2) and Nena McCalla.
McCalla also led YME defensively with six digs.
The Sting return to the court in a week with a home match next Tuesday against BOLD, who lost a 3-1 match against RCW Tuesday night.

MACCRAY, another young area team, dispatched YME 3-1 Friday night in the season opener for both teams at the MACCRAY fieldhouse in Clara City.
The Wolverines defeated the Sting 25-11, 25-17, 18-25 and 25-16.
"We're a young team. And I think definitely we saw some nerves out there tonight," said YME head coach Tasha Feldman following the game. "We knew coming in that our serve/receive game was something we had to work on and that was exploited tonight."
Individually for YME, sophomore Chyanne Sand logged 12 kills, while junior setter Alexis Peters served up 19 set assists. Defensively, senior Nena McCalla led with 13 digs, while fellow senior Danie Roden went 18-for-19 from the service line with four aces.

ADLER, Russia -- Alex Ovechkin is a 6-foot-3 hockey player with broad shoulders. But over the next two weeks, those shoulders might not be broad enough. He needs to carry around an entire nation.
Ovechkin is everywhere here at the Winter Olympics. Not the real Ovechkin. The billboard Ovechkin. As the biggest star in Russia's most popular indoor spectator sport, his image is featured on Coca-Cola advertisements on city streets, neighborhood kiosks and soft drink machines. Sochi is watched over by him benevolently. He is the Big Brother of Local Carbonation.
In the advertisement, Ovechkin holds a Coke bottle and smiles his missing-tooth smile, accompanied by large block lettering with a bold Russian phrase.
"It means, 'Join, join!' " the real flesh-and-blood Ovechkin translated here to reporters.
"Among the Russian citizenry, it might as well also mean: 'Don't choke, don't choke!' "
Make no mistake. The local hockey team has the toughest gig in the Caucasus in the Olympic hockey tournament, which began Wednesday. At the 2010 Vancouver Games, the Canadian hockey team was under huge pressure to win on home ice. And it did win. But the pressure on the Russians to win here might be even more intense, because the Russians seem to take hockey even more seriously than Canadians.
Some of that might have to do with their leader. The other night on Russian television, a program showed President Vladimir Putin -- who doubles as the country's power-play coach -- suiting up in full hockey gear to take part in a charity game. The footage also showed him scoring a goal or two. Smart goalie.
"You know, this is Putin's team, Putin's sport," said NBC hockey analyst Jeremy Roenick, here to broadcast the tournament. "I'll be interested to see how the Russian team reacts and performs."
With sticks gripped very tight, one would guess. Nobody ever wants to be sent to Vlad The Man's penalty box.
Get ready, then, for some motivated Russian effort. Ovechkin, who plays for the Washington Capitals, is here along with other NHL players to complete the mission, along with a batch of players from the country's own Kontinental League. The team held a mass news conference Tuesday. Some 300 journalists attended. Most were from Russia.
First question to Ovechkin: Where do you plan to be on Feb. 23? That's the day of the gold medal hockey game.
"I hope we fight for the gold," Ovechkin said, straight-faced. "We'll see what happens."
So. Enjoy the tournament, guys!
The previous night, Ovechkin was in a more relaxed mood when he chatted with the reporters who showed up for Russia's first practice. An American writer asked him to describe what a gold medal here might mean to the country.
"The gold will cost $50 billion, probably," Ovechkin answered with a grin, quoting the amount that the government has spent on these Games.
For a country with such a storied hockey history, it comes as a shock to realize that the last time Russia won an Olympic gold in the sport was in 1992. Since the NHL began allowing its players to participate in 1998, the Russians have earned just one silver medal and one bronze medal. Four years ago, the team barely showed up in a 7-3 quarterfinal loss to Canada, considered a national disgrace along the lines of the 1980 "Miracle On Ice" upset to the USA.
"In Vancouver, we lost to Canada and saw the country celebrate," Ovechkin said. "You can ask any Canadian player how that felt for them. So this tournament is probably my biggest moment for me."
Undeniably, it will be the biggest moment for another player on the Russian team, one with a Bay Area connection. Viktor Tikhonov grew up in San Jose when his father was a Sharks assistant coach. Viktor still lives in Los Gatos during the summer. But during the winter, he plays forward here in Russia for St. Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League.
The 25-year-old Tikhonov is also the grandson of the country's most famous hockey coach, also named Viktor Tikhonov -- best known in America as the losing USSR coach in 1980.
"Honestly, it's tough to explain how I feel right now," said the younger Tikhonov here. "I heard that I'd made the national team when my KHL team's plane had just landed in Siberia for a game. My wife sent me a text. I think I screamed. It's a huge honor for me."
The younger Tikhonov is a California kid with no Russian accent whatsoever when he speaks English. But there's no question where his hockey loyalty lies. He has refused to ever watch "Miracle," the movie about the 1980 USSR defeat, or even a replay of the actual game. Every summer, Tikhonov works out at the Sharks' practice rink and has a running bet with a friend there.
The friend is a goalie. So the bet goes this way: If the goalie can ever stop Tikhonov on 10 straight penalty shots, Tikhonov will finally watch "Miracle." So far, Tikhonov is winning the bet. Remember that information if he is called upon to make a penalty shot in an Olympic overtime.
On paper, Canada or Sweden probably should win the gold here. But the larger international ice surface could boost Russia's chances. So should the home crowd. Putin will be watching from the stands on most nights. The emotion might help generate an upset Russian victory.
If that occurs, Ovechkin's image won't merely be plastered all over Sochi. The country might commission a mural of him in Red Square. And when the gold medal party starts, Ovechkin won't have any trouble getting people to join, join.

Canadian Mist
Review: Canadian Mist 85/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on July 31, 2011
Canadian Mist has been on the landscape of Canadian Whisky since the 1960's when Barton Brands, Inc. of Chicago, contracted with a Quebec distillery, (Melcher's), to supply bulk whisky to the United States for bottling and marketing. Based upon the potential of the new brand, Barton established their own plant in Collingwood, Ontario. Sales caught on south of the border very quickly and Canadian Mist was soon the second most popular Canadian Whisky brand bottled stateside. In 1971, Brown-Forman Corporation bought Canadian Mist, and with further investments in marketing and promotion, Canadian Mist's sales quadrupled in the '70s and '80s, to more than four million cases.
The brand is still owned by Brown-Forman, and it is still produced in Collingwood, Ontario. The whisky has always been produced for the American market where sales have remained strong. It is a triple distilled blended grain whisky made from corn, malted barley and rye. The water source for the distillery is the waters of Georgian Bay, part of Lake Huron, one of the largest (and purest) fresh water lakes in the world. The whisky is aged in charred oak barrels and blended in Collingwood, Ontario under the supervision of the Canadian Government.
Unfortunately for me, in Canada (at least in my neck of the woods) the brand is relatively hard to find, and in fact I had never actually owned a bottle of Canadian Mist until I was given a sample bottle for this review by Brown Forman.
In the Bottle 4/5
The bottle of Canadian Mist which I was supplied with is pictured below. It is a dark brown bar room style bottle which is designed to be easy to hold, easy to pour, and easy to store on your bar-shelf. It is a satisfactory presentation although I was slightly unhappy with the screw top lid. The cap has only two threads, and lightly threaded enclosures always make me nervous.
I was sent a nice bottle shot (j peg) of the 1 litre configuration (shown to the right), and it is of the same basic style, however the one lite bottle is clear and the labeling is more minimalistic. (I prefer the 750 ml bottle I was sent.)
In the Glass 8.5/10
The Canadian Mist displays a rich golden amber colour in the glass. A tilt and swirl of that glass reveals long slender droopy legs which move slowly down the sides of that glass back into the whisky. When I brought the glass to my nose I immediately noticed a sweet (candied) corn (think Corn Pops cereal) aroma rising into the breezes which also carried some malty aromas. There is also a bevy of fruitiness carried into the air and the effect reminds me of a Speyside Scotch whisky.
I allowed the glass to decant, and the aroma remains relatively constant, although the corn does appear to soften somewhat allowing that fruity Speyside-like character to evolve further in the glass. As well, I began to notice some light bourbon notes building along with a nice accent of vanilla and almond.
In the Mouth 51.5/60
The initial entry in the mouth is mellow with a flavour of soft, lightly dank corn leading the way. There is a sweet tinge to the whisky with a honeyed spiciness quickly following making the whisky lively in the mouth but not sharp or uncomfortable. Vanilla and almond flavours swim in the currents, and that spicy fruitiness I noted on the nose continues to add a touch of Speyside character, especially with the light malty flavours I taste underneath.
As I allow the glass to decant I notice that the sweet dank corn flavour has been building throughout the tasting. This flavour has a punky earthy flavour similar to the underlying flavour of a Tennessee Corn Whisky. I am able to sip the whisky quite easily, and with an ice-cube some of the sweet tinges become more subdued and enjoyable. Rather than ginger-ale, I have an impulse to add a little cola to the glass and after I do, I find that at a fifty-fifty mix the Canadian Mist and Cola tastes just fine.
In the Throat 12.5/15
The Canadian mist finishes with a bit of peppery spice heating the mouth and the back of the tonsils. Waving corn fields and vanilla leave their imprint on the ending which has a light burn; but things are smoothed out easily with an ice-cube added to the glass.
The Afterburn 8.5/10
The Canadian Mist is a nice solid whisky. It carries more corn flavour than spicy rye, although the fruitiness which I likened in the review to a Speyside-like fruitiness does carry some aspects of spicy rye in the flavour. I suspect the accent on corn is a result of catering to American tastes for which the whisky was originally blended. But that does not mean that the whisky will not find a welcome home north of the border. It is a nicely crafted whisky with an easy-going nature that is easy to sip and even easier to mix. (That sounds pretty Canadian to me.)
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Recipe:
The Canadian Mist Website has a great selection of recipes for the enjoyment of their whisky. However, I really liked the Canadian Mist when I mixed it with cola, and so I thought I should stay true to my own instincts. If you take the a typical whisky and cola highball and add bitters, it becomes a Buckeroo, and although the Buckeroo is typically made with bourbon, it tastes just as great made with Canadian Mist.
The Canadian Mist Buckeroo
1 1/2 oz Canadian Mist Whisky
dash Angostura Bitters
Slice of Lime for garnish
Build in a tall glass with ice
Complete with Cola
Garnish with a lime slice
As always you may interpret the scores I provide as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

I have liked this brand since I found it in '73 while in college at U Maine. It is so smooth and mellow. Rates very high in my book. I often have it straight, on the rocks rather than messing with that flavor.
July 31, 2011 at 1:20 pm
Good answer, Chip. Of course it follows that your reviews should reflect your opinion of the spirit rather than trying to describe some elusive measure of 'intrinsic quality.' I probably spend more time smelling whisky than drinking it but that is again a personal thing.
July 31, 2011 at 9:47 am
Hey Chip, Collingwood recently became available in Ontario, which is said to be a sibling to Canadian Mist. I like it; it is soft and fruity at first but is backed by deep, toasty nut flavour and herbal bitterness. Any chance you'll be reviewing that one soon?
I prefer the more modern look of the bigger bottle, personally.
A question for you (my apologies if I've already asked this): What is your logic in according a disproportionately small percentage for a whisky's aroma in your overall score? Most reviewers treat aroma as being on par with taste in terms of importance, but you lump it in with the whisky's colour and apparent viscosity. Don't mean to criticize but I do find it odd. Of course I have always been a smell-oriented person so it would seem odd to me.

Keri Gray ('12) | Communication/Political Science
Hometown: Longview, Texas
Some students view internships as a necessary evil, but for Keri Gray, an internship represented far more than resume filler - it represented vital experience. Keri's passion for politics and unbridled initiative landed her a summer internship in the office of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
"If you're a person who is interested in politics and you think of influential people, you think of Leader Pelosi," Keri said. "I've always known her image and admired the things she has done. It was amazing, and she puts passion in you to do more."
Keri's internship was organized through the American Association of People with Disabilities. She began applying for the internship in December 2010, and she was accepted in February 2011. AAPD places its interns in offices, and Keri knew she wanted to be in Washington D.C., but she never imagined she would be working with a former Speaker of the House.
"I got to work with both AAPD and her office. I got to see the passion that was there and all they get done," she said. "Her office is a very diverse and inclusive type of environment."
Keri believes experiences in ACU's Department of Political Science and the Department of Communication helped prepare her for the opportunity of a lifetime.
"I definitely gained my drive to taking initiative from my experiences at ACU," Keri said. "One of the biggest things I cherish about ACU is how the university shaped me professionally. I worked in things other interns couldn't do because they couldn't do the things ACU has taught me."
As she moves forward, Keri believes her internship taught her the value of networking - a tool she knows will prove valuable.
"I was one of the people who associated networking with sucking up," she said. "But I truly feel this summer I learned what networking was and how people want to network with you. I shook so many hands and collected so many business cards. I met people who wanted to invest in my future, and that's valuable."

About the Book
Action-packed and breathtakingly authentic, Viper Pilot is the electrifying memoir of one of the most decorated F-16 pilots in American history: U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Dan Hampton, who served for twenty years, flying missions in the Iraq War, the Kosovo conflict, and the first Gulf War.
Both a rare look into the elite world of fighter pilots and a thrilling first-person account of contemporary air combat, Viper Pilot soars—a true story of courage, skill, and commitment that will thrill U.S. Special Forces buffs, aviation and military history aficionados, and fans of the novels of Tom Clancy and Dale Brown.
151 combat missions
21 hard kills on surface -to -air missile sites
4 Distinguished Flying Crosses with Valor
1 Purple Heart
First into a war zone, flying behind enemy lines to purposely draw fire, the wild weasels are elite fighter squadrons with the most dangerous job in the Air Force
One of the greatest aviation memoirs ever written, Viper Pilot is an Air Force legend's thrilling eyewitness account of modern air warfare. For twenty years, Lieutenant Colonel Dan Hampton was a leading member of the Wild Weasels, logging 608 combat hours in the world's most iconic fighter jet: the F-16 "Fighting Falcon," or "Viper." He spearheaded the 2003 invasion of Iraq, leading the first flight of fighters over the border en route to strike Baghdad. Earlier, on 9/11, Hampton's father was inside the Pentagon when it was attacked; with his dad's fate unknown, Hampton was scrambled into American skies and given the unprecedented orders to shoot down any unidentified aircraft. Viper Pilot is an unforgettable look into the closed world of fighter pilots and modern air combat.

When i stream my home made vob files to my ps3 sometimes the bit rate goes to 14.4 Mbps. The video then goes faster than it should leaving the video and audio out of sync.
I think I have read somewhere that the bit rate cannot exceed 10Mbps so I expect this is my problem.
I have tried restricting the maximum band with to 9 Mbps but that doesn't seem to do anything. Anyone else has experienced this? Suggestions?
