Running back Marcus Lattimore is progressing so well in his rehab from a devastating injury to his right knee that he expects to be a full participant in the 49ers offseason conditioning program.
In fact, Lattimore said that his he is almost 100 percent healthy after spending the past 16 months or so recovering from a right knee injury that he suffered in a game against the University of Tennessee.
"The left knee, it feels like nothing ever happened," Lattimore told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "The right knee, it feels great. Both feel balanced. I've got my speed and I rarely get any soreness (after workouts)."
Lattimore tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during his sophomore season at South Carolina in 2011, a little more than a year before he dislocated his right knee and tore several ligaments his junior season.
The 49ers selected Lattimore in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL draft and allowed him to spend the entire season rehabilitating his right knee. Lattimore didn't see action in any games.
Fortunately for the 49ers, they didn't need Lattimore right away, given they had running backs Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter and LaMichael James on their 53-man roster.
It's unclear how coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman intend to mete out the workload at running back next season. However, it's likely that Lattimore will be part of the equation.
Lattimore said he is hopeful of being ready to go when the 49ers being their offseason conditioning program in late April.
"I can't go out there and be Superman the first day," he said. "Once I get back in the groove and take a few hits, I'll be OK."

Solemn salute
Flags downtown for local Marine
March 22, 2013
PHOTO 1: Marietta High School senior Michael Reese places an American flag on a lamppost on Putnam Street in Marietta Thursday in honor of Marine Lance Cpl....
So very proud of these Marietta High School students, teachers and coaches for doing this in honor of Josh. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Josh and I know that alot of these students that volunteered their time yesterday did not know Josh either, but that did not stop them from showing such respect for a true hero.

It's great that the flags have been put out in honor of Josh Taylor. It's a shame that the City of Marietta didn't think of it first! How Embarrassing!

O.J. Simpson returns to the witness stand to testify after a break during an evidentiary hearing in Clark County District Court, Wednesday, May 15, 2013 in Las Vegas. Simpson, who is currently serving a nine to 33-year sentence in state prison as a result of his October 2008 conviction for armed robbery and kidnapping charges, is using a writ of habeas corpus, to seek a new trial, claiming he had such bad representation that his conviction should be reversed.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Keith Stein will join the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball staff as an assistant coach, Head Coach Stephanie Hughes announced today.
Stein, a native of San Antonio, Texas, comes to the Island University after spending the past year as a volunteer assistant coach for UTSA. Prior to that, he served as a volunteer softball coach for Texas A&M University and Southland foe Sam Houston State.
"I'm extremely excited at the opportunity to be a part of this program under Coach Hughes," Stein said. "When I had the chance to visit Texas A&M - Corpus Christi I was very impressed with the people and the university. They share my vision of what can be and will be Islanders Softball."
Stein, a former professional baseball player for the Detroit Tigers, was a two-year member of the Bearkats baseball program. Prior to that, he played two seasons for the Aggies. While at Sam Houston State, he earned first team all-conference honors in 2008 and second team all-conference accolades in 2007. Stein set Southland Conference records for most hits in a season in 2007 and led the Bearkats' career batting average leader. During his time in Huntsville, Stein was named to the all-conference tournament team each of his years.
Stein's success as a collegiate player, led him to being drafted in the 29th round of the 2008 MLB draft by the Tigers. He was the first player in the draft class to be promoted to higher league level and was one of 40 players in the Tigers organization to be invited to play in fall Instructions. Stein retired in 2009 after a career-ending injury during spring training.
"I am excited to announce the addition of Keith Stein to our coaching staff," Hughes said. "As both a collegiate and professional baseball player he brings a wealth of knowledge to our program. His energy is contagious and I know that will spill over to our athletes. He will work primarily with the outfielders and assist with recruiting, camps and day-to-day operations of our program."
At UTSA, Stein worked primarily with the outfielders and helped establish a habitual mental toughness to help keep a positive attitude throughout the season. While at Texas A&M, Stein shadowed head coach Jo Evans, and gained a better understanding of softball tendencies and the differences between the two sports. Stein also spent his time at Sam Houston State, working with the outfielders and worked closely with head coach Bob Brock.
The Islanders will open the 2014 schedule at the three-day CenturyLink Classic in San Marcos, Texas. The squad will face host Texas State in the season opener on Friday, Feb. 7 at 2:30 p.m.

'Predictable' Hack Hits 4.6M Snapchat Users
(NEWSER) – Photo-messaging mobile app Snapchat has had the usernames and phone numbers of 4.6 million users leaked online through a vulnerability highlighted by security researchers just a week ago. The hackers who put the user details online—with the last two digits of phone numbers censored—tell Mashable that they want to "raise the public awareness around the issue, and also put public pressure on Snapchat to get this exploit fixed," though they say full phone numbers could be revealed to interested parties, suggesting the details could be sold to spammers or phishing operations.

Animals defend themselves from many Gram-negative bacteria by 1) sensing the lipopolysaccharide found in the bacterial cell wall and then 2) mounting inflammatory reactions that kill the bacteria. Our research has produced strong evidence for a new concept: In order to recover from infection, animals must kill these bacteria and inactivate their LPS. We made mice that are unable to inactivate LPS and found that they never completely recover from exposure to LPS or to bacteria that make LPS. Their macrophages and other cells remain "reprogrammed" in ways that make them respond very slowly when they are re-exposed to LPS or other microbial molecules. As a result, they are much more likely to die when they are challenged with virulent Gram-negative bacteria.

Here's the latest video From The Desk Of Donald Trump, in which our hero shouts about how Jon Stewart "gets away" with a "VERY VERY RACIST RANT about Herman Cain." Trump, who's always been a good friend of "the blacks," finds deep-seated racism in Stewart's Herman Cain impression.
"It's not what he said, but the way he said," Trump explains. "The tone of his voice, the inflection. UN. BELIEVABLE." And the media won't call Stewart out on this, either: "WHERE'S SLEEPY-EYED CHUCK TODD?" he asks, comically.
It sounds like Donald Trump is still sore over that time he pretended to run for president by being racist all the time, which everyone noticed.

Member Joe Coston submitted the following as a comment on the "Correction on John T. Potter Burial Site Dedication" post. It was decided it should also be shared as its on post as it provides interesting information about his ancestor Joseph Coston.
My great-grandfather, Joseph Artie Coston, who was a Confederate veteran (and a union veteran) is also buried at Shady Grove. His grave is in the far left corner of the cemetery and is (or was 15 years or so ago) marked with a Confederate veteran marker.
Joseph Artie Coston was born in Alabama, probably near Mt. Andrew in Barbour County but possibly in
Bibb County, on 5 January 1841. followed the example of his father and became a farmer. He
married Jemima Voorhees about 25 October 1867.
He joined Company K, 29th Alabama Infantry Regiment Confederate service at Clayton, Alabama immediately before the 10th of March 1862.
Confederate records show that Joseph A. Coston was reported as "missing" on a list of casualties and Federal records indicate that he was captured at Nashville on 15 December 1864. He was sent to the military prison at Camp Douglas (now in Chicago), Illinois on 20 December 1864.
On 1 April 1865, while still incarcerated at Camp Douglas, Joseph joined other prisoners who swore allegiance to the United States Government and enlisted in Company F, 5th U. S. Volunteer Infantry for three years with the understanding that they would serve on the western frontier. His service records indicate that he served as a private soldier until he was mustered out on 15 October 1866 at Fort Kearny, Nebraska Territory.
Coston family oral history related that Joseph Artie was a year and a half later than the rest of the Confederate soldiers in returning from the Civil War but did not provide a reason for hid tardiness except that 'he had been in a Yankee prison camp.' It is possible that he told no one of this adventure. His grandson, Ocie Coston, did not know that he had enlisted in the U. S. Army, and there is no evidence that any of his descendants were aware of this fact.
Joseph and his family moved to the Stout community in Wood County, Texas sometime between 1888 and 1900 where they resumed farming. Jemima died on 13 January 1919 and Joseph died on 17 January 1934 at the age of 93. Both are buried in Shady Grove.

A Quote by Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald on artist allegory, throwaway society, and devolution
Even when the East excited me most, even when I was most keenly aware of its superiority to the bored, sprawling, swollen towns beyond the Ohio, with their interminable inquisitions which spared only the children and the very old—even then it had always for me a quality of distortion. West Egg, especially, still figures in my more fantastic dreams. I see it as a night scene by El Greco: a hundred houses, at once conventional and grotesque, crouching under a sullen, overhanging sky and a lustreless moon. In the foreground four solemn men in dress suits are walking along the sidewalk with a stretcher on which lies a drunken woman in a white evening dress. Her hand, which dangles over the side, sparkles cold with jewels. Gravely the men turn in at a house—the wrong house. But no one knows the woman's name, and no one cares.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

If you have unanimously found the defendant not guilty of the crime of <insert previous offense>, you shall then consider the lesser offense of <insert the next lesser included offense>. Do not consider this offense unless and until you have unanimously acquitted the defendant of <insert previous offense>.
<Instruct on the elements of the next lesser included offense.>
<Repeat until jury is instructed on all lesser included offenses.>
An "acquittal first" instruction is mandated by State v. Sawyer, 227 Conn. 566 (1993). This means that "the court must direct the jury to reach a unanimous decision on the issue of guilt or innocence of the charged offense before going on to consider the lesser included offenses." Id., 579. See also State v. Alonzo, 131 Conn. App. 1, cert. denied, 303 Conn. 912 (2011) (applying a state constitutional analysis to the acquit first rule).
"[I]n close cases, the trial court
should generally opt in favor of giving an instruction on a lesser included
offense, if it is requested. . . . Otherwise the defendant would lose the right
to have the jury pass upon every factual issue fairly presented by the
evidence." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Tomasko, 238
Conn. 253, 261 (1996). "[I]t is settled that a jury should be given the entire
range of possible verdicts in a case in which the evidence warrants the giving
of the lesser included offenses, [and] it follows that defenses that are
supported by a reasonable construction of the evidence should be given along
with those same lesser charges." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State
v. Hall, 213 Conn. 579, 588 (1990).
If the jury convicts the defendant of "greater and lesser offenses, the trial court must vacate the conviction for the lesser offense rather than merging the convictions." State v. Polanco, 308 Conn. 242, 245 (2013).
The Whistnant
"A defendant is entitled to an instruction on a lesser offense if, and only if, the following conditions are met: (1) an appropriate instruction is requested by either the state or the defendant; (2) it is not possible to commit the greater offense, in the manner described in the information or bill of particulars, without having first committed the lesser; (3) there is some evidence, introduced by either the state or the defendant, or by a combination of their proofs, which justifies conviction of the lesser offense; and (4) the proof on the element or elements which differentiate the lesser offense from the offense charged is sufficiently in dispute to permit the jury consistently to find the defendant innocent of the greater offense but guilty of the lesser." State v. Whistnant, 179 Conn. 576, 588 (1980).
First prong - proper
The first prong is satisfied if the request complies with Practice Book § 42-18. It may also be satisfied "when the record indicates that the trial court knew the precise point to which the defendant wished to call attention. . . . Indeed, even partial compliance with § 42-18, accompanied by substantial additional support in the record from either party, such as detailed colloquies with the court and opposing counsel and a postcharge exception, will also satisfy the first prong of Whistnant. This is true as long as the trial court is informed adequately of the factual and legal basis for the instructional request." (Citations omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Smith, 262 Conn. 453, 466 (2003); see also State v. Colon, 272 Conn. 106, 224 n.78 (2004). For cases upholding the trial court's refusal to instruct on a lesser included offense due to the inadequacy of the request, see State v. Arreaga, 75 Conn. App. 521 (2003) (request contained only a general statement of facts and citations to the relevant statutes); State v. Corbin, 260 Conn. 730, 746-47 (2002) (request confusing because charges not separated into separate paragraphs).
Second prong - cognate
The second prong of Whistnant "encompasses the cognate pleadings approach . . . [which] does not insist that the elements of the lesser offense be a subset of the higher offense. It is sufficient that the lesser offense have certain elements in common with the higher offense, which thereby makes it a 'cognate' or 'allied' offense even though it also has other elements not essential to the greater crime. [In addition], the relationship between the offenses is determined not by a comparison of statutory elements in the abstract, but by reference to the pleadings in the case. The key ordinarily is whether the allegations in the pleading charging the higher offense . . . include all of the elements of the lesser offense." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Tomlin, 266 Conn. 608, 618 (2003).
"[O]ne crime is not a lesser included offense of another if the greater can be committed without a simultaneous commission of the lesser." (Emphasis in original.) State v. Fuller, 56 Conn. App. 592, 605, cert. denied, 252 Conn. 949, cert. denied, 531 U.S. 911, 121 S. Ct. 262, 148 L. Ed. 2d 190 (2000). "[T]he lesser offense must not require any element which is not needed to commit the greater offense in the manner alleged in the information or the bill of particulars." Id., 603. "Under the second prong of Whistnant, we must look only to the information and cannot resort to the evidence." Id., 607 n.20.
Third prong -
sufficient evidence
"[I]n order to meet the third prong of the Whistnant test, there must be sufficient evidence, introduced by either the state or the defendant, or by a combination of their proofs, to justify a finding of guilt of the lesser offense." State v. Rasmussen, 225 Conn. 55, 67-68 (1993) (finding that the evidence, if believed, compelled the conclusion that the defendant intended to kill the victim, so he was not entitled to instruction on manslaughter). See also State v. Arena, 235 Conn. 67, 78-79 (1995) (no evidence to support instruction on robbery 2nd); State v. Sivri, 231 Conn. 115, 138-39 (1994) (sufficient evidence that defendant may not have had the intent to kill); State v. Solek, 66 Conn. App. 72, 83-85, cert. denied, 258 Conn. 941 (2001) (insufficient evidence that defendant intended anything other than to kill victim).
Fourth prong - issue
in dispute
"[E]vidence of the differentiating element is 'sufficiently in dispute' where it is of such a factual quality that would permit the finder of fact reasonably to find the defendant guilty on the lesser included offense." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Preston, 248 Conn. 472, 477-78 (1999) (no evidence to support the inference that use of force was in furtherance of escape only rather than robbery); State v. Rozmyslowicz, 52 Conn. App. 149, 157 (1999) (evidence of larcenous intent not sufficiently in dispute to permit lesser included offense of using motor vehicle without permission); State v. Ray, 228 Conn. 147, 152-58 (1993) (defendant's state of mind sufficiently in dispute to entitle him to instruction on criminally negligent homicide); State v. Montanez, 219 Conn. 16, 23-24 (1991) (jury could not have reasonably concluded that the defendant acted recklessly rather than intentionally); State v. Solek, supra, 66 Conn. App. 85 (element of intent not sufficiently in dispute); State v. Reed, 56 Conn. App. 428, 433-36, cert. denied, 252 Conn. 945 (2000) (no reasonable doubt that money was taken by the defendant).
Multiple lesser-included
In some cases, there may be two or more lesser included offenses that are not related to one another as lesser or greater offenses. For example, manslaughter in the first degree pursuant to § 53a-55 (a) (1) and manslaughter in the first degree pursuant to § 53a-55 (a) (3) are both lesser included offenses of murder, and may both be given if the evidence warrants, but manslaughter under subsection (a) (3) is not a lesser included offense of manslaughter under subsection (a) (1). See State v. Maselli, 182 Conn. 66, 72 (1980), cert. denied, 449 U.S. 1083, 101 S.Ct. 868, 66 L.Ed.2d 807 (1981); State v. Billie, 47 Conn. App. 678, 687 (1998). Use caution when instructing the jury in this situation. State v. Dyson, 217 Conn. 498, 503 (1991), suggests that an acquittal first instruction may be "inaccurate."
Partial verdicts
"[State v.] Sawyer[, 227 Conn. 566 (1993),] and the guarantees provided by the double jeopardy clause dictate that: (1) it is a valid verdict for the jury to acquit the accused of a greater offense and only thereafter to reach a deadlock on a lesser offense; (2) such a valid verdict must be accepted; and, finally, (3) the failure to accept that valid verdict would violate the constitutional protection against double jeopardy." State v. Tate, 256 Conn. 262, 284-85 (2001).
If the defendant requests the court to conduct an inquiry as to whether the jury has reached a partial verdict, the court is obligated to do so prior to declaring a mistrial. Id, 286-87. The court, however, has no duty to sua sponte inquire. Id., 286 n.16. It may be the better practice to ask, because if it is unknown which of the charges the jury is deadlocked on, the defendant may only be retried after mistrial on the least of the offenses. Id., 288-89.
If the jury deadlocks on the
greater offense, the trial court must declare a mistrial as to both the greater
and the lesser included offenses. State v. Salgado, 257 Conn. 394, 407

LETTER: Texas A&M fans a breath of fresh air
Published: Monday, September 23, 2013 at 9:00 p.m.

Dear Editor: Along with three grandsons, I had the pleasure of attending the Alabama-Texas A&M game in College Station, Texas. I don't really know the words to describe how well we were treated as a visiting team. It is something you rarely experience in the SEC. We could learn from them. They welcomed us before the game with an Aggie "Howdy" and congratulated us after the game.
They were nothing but class. It is really the exception rather than the rule in the SEC. They do not boo the opposing team when they come on the field. They don't throw things at opposing teams or hurl insults at the opposing teams or fans. They do not try to turn over the opposing team's bus upon arrival. Hats off to Texas A&M University fans. Truly a breathe of fresh air.

|Obverse Design
|Reverse Design
The Golden Dollar's obverse, or heads, has Sacagawea portrayed in three-quarter profile. In a departure from numismatic tradition, she looks straight at the holder. Glenna Goodacre, the artist of the obverse, included the large, dark eyes attributed to Sacagawea in Shoshone legends. Goodacre used a present-day Shoshone college student, Randy'L He-dow Teton, as her model.
On her back, Sacagawea carries Jean Baptiste, her infant son. Six months pregnant when she joined the Lewis and Clark expedition, Sacagawea gave birth to Jean Baptiste early in the journey.
Designed to successfully complement the obverse, the selected reverse features a soaring eagle encircled by 17 stars. The 17 stars represent each state in the Union at the time of the 1804 Lewis and Clark expedition.
Glenna Goodacre, Sculptor
Glenna Goodacre designed the winning obverse image of Sacagawea and her infant son Jean-Baptiste for the Golden Dollar.
Goodacre is well known for her portrait busts and figures and for her interesting sculptural compositions of active children. Her pieces are in numerous private, corporate, municipal, national, and international collections. Goodacre's works are widely exhibited and have won several awards.
Other important works of art
Glenna Goodacre designed the original version of the selected obverse design (background) which was modified slightly, for minting, into the final design (foreground).
In addition to the specifications specified by the Dollar Coin Act the Secretary of the Treasury required that the coin's obverse and reverse designs be as follows:
Physical Composition
The dollar coin features distinguishing traits including: a golden color, extra-wide border, smooth edge like the nickel's, and specially designed alloy.
Specifically, the Golden Dollar is: 8.1 grams in weight, 2 mm thick, and 26.5 mm in diameter.
The coins physical makeup is a three-layer clad construction - pure copper sandwiched between and metallurgically bonded to outer layers of manganese brass.

1.2-6 Evidence Admitted
for Limited Purpose
Revised to January 1, 2008
Ladies and gentlemen, I am admitting <identify
evidence> as evidence solely as it relates to the issue of <identify
issue>. You must consider this evidence only with respect to that issue
and it would be wrong for you to use the evidence for any purpose other than
your consideration of the one issue I have indicated.
Smith v. Greenwich, 278 Conn. 428,
451-52 (2006).
Many lawyers and judges believe
that reference to limited evidence during the final charge to the jury is more
prejudicial than it is helpful. A trial court judge may decide that a
sufficiently forceful charge given at the time the evidence is limited may
obviate the need or desire for a further charge at the end of the case.

Woman reported beaten with gun
Published: Friday, November 2, 2012 at 5:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 2, 2012 at 5:00 p.m.
A man was arrested Friday after he told police someone drugged his girlfriend, but when she revived, she told officers he had beat her, police said.
Joshua Tillman, 22, of Thibodaux, called police about 10:45 a.m. and told them his girlfriend had been drugged and was unconscious, Thibodaux Police said.
"When she came to in the hospital, she told police a different story," Thibodaux Police Detective David Melancon said.
She said she and Tillman were at a hotel on St. Mary Street when Tillman began beating her with a gun in front of their child, police said. At one point, Tillman pointed the gun at her and threatened to kill her.
Tillman is charged with second-degree battery, domestic-abuse aggravated assault with child endangerment and domestic-abuse battery with child endangerment. He is in the Lafourche Parish jail on a $255,000 bond.

Len, agreed. It was a discussion a few months ago in which you said something like "Even Chi Running would agree it's possible to heel-strike while landing midfoot" to which I had disagreed, but I see you are simply pointing out it's possible. The point I am trying to make is this: The ChiRunning approach is getting more popular, and more of your participants here are attempting to follow its philosophy. (Three or four years ago, very few had heard of it.) And a fundamental part of ChiRunning is that if your heel is taking the bulk of the impact, you're doing ChiRunning wrong. We don't care that it's possible to heel-strike with your foot landing directly under your c-o-g. It's still wrong for us.
I'm not asking you to agree with ChiRunning -- I'm only trying to explain this fundamental difference. When you say in a response that that there's really nothing wrong with heel-striking and the poster indicates that he/she is following the ChiRunning approach, you need to know that you're contradicting a fundamental part of his/her learning, which could be pretty confusing for them. ChiRunning is a completely legitimate approach that has helped many people to run with less effort and fewer injuries. I realize you can't know whether someone is practicing ChiRunning or not, unless they tell you. But if they DO say they are trying to be a ChiRunner, please understand that they're operating under a different set of rules on proper foot-strike.
Yes, we ChiRunners can get a little overzealous and judgmental when we think we're seeing poor form, when it might simply be different form. We need to get over that. (90% of runners don't suck at running -- but I understand the OP's aversion to "heel-first" form. I took this post to be tongue-in-cheek!) So -- to all my fellow ChiRunners out there: Hooray, keep it up -- but let's recognize that others have been successful doing something that we've been told never to do. Likewise, we ask non-ChiRunners to respect the philosophy that we're trying to live by, and to understand that, by definition, we're either ChiRunners or heel-strikers; we can't be both.
Thanks, as always!
Again, I'll guarantee I didn't say "Even Chi Running would agree it's possible to heel-strike while landing midfoot". What I said was "You can heel-strike and still plant your foot appropriately under your center of gravity. Even ChiRunning would agree with that (reluctantly, maybe)."
I understand many of the principals of ChiRunning. I read the book several years ago - most of it anyway. No offense, but if a ChiRunner is that confused by a statement that heel-striking is not inherently bad, then maybe they need to go back and re-examine what they're doing (review the book, the DVD, etc.). Note that I'm not advocating for any of heel, midfoot or forefoot. Clearly if you want to practice ChiRunning, you have to strike midfoot, not heel, and not forefoot (alledged to be more efficient and less stressful than midfoot). I have been working very slowly toward a midfoot strike myself, for various reasons. It is a difficult transition for me, and I've been learning some interesting things about my personal biomechanics. I've mentioned elsewhere that I even heel strike barefoot, which most barefooters would say is next to impossible. But I'll keep trying, though I'll never be a ChiRunner. BTW, many of the biomechanical principles of ChiRunning are based on what what the elites (supposedly) do.

Running the Gate River Run (15k) in Jacksonville I got smoked by a guy in a Sponge Bob costume and a Fire Fighter in fire pants, helmet, and air bottle. Yeah, they probably weren't comfortable, but they were still badasses. The only complaint I have with people running in plain clothes is that it takes a second to figure out if they are exercising or escaping. I gotta look around and make sure there isn't something dangerous coming like a bear or a clown.
Okay, I just laughed so hard at this that it hurt.
I hear you man. I also hold the belief that 90% of the golfers suck at golf.
Amen! It's much better to learn as you go than keep your butt on the couch and learn to do nothing. Hey, I have read of some great runners that are heel-strikers.

to the original post:
two months ago i struggled to run for 60 seconds. i was embarrassed and humiliated at the gym and felt self conscious about running. it took weeks of telling myself that everyone there was so focused on their running that they couldn't possibly care what i was doing and probably didn't even notice that i was there. last night i ran a mile and a half with no trouble at all but i'm still self conscious about it. this post serves no purpose other than to confirm the fact that there are people judging them, to turn people off to running and set self conscious people back. and if someone cares so much about the running form of other people, why not post something constructive and helpful instead of trash talking people who may not even know any better without the guidance of an experienced runner.
amen sister. running is hard enough. if it were easy, everyone would be doinh it. and btw... you rock! keeping on movin
I'm a BRAND NEW runner. I'm 45 and never ran unless I had to. Was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma at 40, Wow, amazing what one can do when on can breathe. I JUST started running, switching it up from walking. I'm a heel striker. I started trying to run with the "correct" stride, but now my ankles hurt. I saw a post that describe how the body is supposed to be positioned over the feet, but I've lost that info. Anyone willing to describe it again?
It's hard to say "correct form". I describe them as "modern" or new running forms. Maybe "new" is not the right word - some have been around a while.
There are 3 common ones if you want to read about and pursue a structured method. Pose Method, Chi Running and Evolution Runnign seem to be the most popular. I wrote a blog article giving an overview (very high level) of each. You can find that article here.
In general the programs are pretty similar from the standpoint that they advocate:
* Erect body posture
* Slight forward lean so that falling down/forward is the primary method to move you forward
* LIFTING of the foot off the ground - not pushing forward with that trailing foot
* Short strides - with feet landing primarily under your center of mass
* Short strides also equates to increase foot cadence. Generally the programs advocate taking at least 180 steps / minute
Within/between the programs there are differences and emotional arguments over which one is "best". As I said in the article - in my opinion it comes down to a "Coke or Pepsi?" decision for each of us. Which of these do you like the best?

Thanks Jim. I'll do some reading. I'm very scientific when it comes to exercise and like to follow formulas, so I'll do some experimenting. I figure if I'm new, I might as well get off on the "right" foot, form-wise. My husband is "natural" runner. He just retired from the military, and NEVER had one running injury that did not involve falling down a mountain, lol. I've watched him run, and he lands on the forefoot and takes shorter strides and it just comes easily for him. Is there any difference for men and women considering our center of mass/gravity is different?
Interesting question. In the reading I've done around these forms I've never heard any reference to needing to accommodate for gender differences.
I'm assuming the differences in COM is in their height - women tend to have lower COMs or the other way around. The real way COM impacts these running forms is whether, at any given time, whether the COM is over the balance point of the foot. If the COM is ahead of that point you'll fall down/forward, if it's behind that point you'll fall down/backward, and obviously over that point you are balanced and standing upright. So as it pertains to running the issues/importance of COM is whether it is or is not ahead of the contact point (and that changes during the running cycle - with each step).
"Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time."
-- From the song FM by Steely Dan
Excellent points Jim, and your were probably being brief, but I would add:
Keep your head up, centered and looking foreward about 100 ft ahead, and not at the ground.
Keep elbows at 90 degrees and the hands not crossing the center line in front of your body.
Keeping your hands and wrists loose but toned. No clenched fists please.
Shoulders relaxed, and not bunched up around the ears.
Lead with the knees.
Anyway, a quiet heel strike is better than a loud midsole or toe plant.
Run quietly, so you can nique up on a snipe.
Those last couple of posts described how I try to run. For me it equates to less PF pain, knee and achilles pain.
I was doing speed intervals at the gym last night and there was a young girl a couple of treadmils over from me. I could hear her feet slapping over the music of my Ipod. When I got off the treadmil, I could see her strides were way out there, she was swinging her arms across her chest....and she was screaming fast on that treadmil!! She blew away "Mr. Perfect form" and sent him away mumbling to himself! It works for her, you go!
And to the poster that is self conscious, remember that your working out for YOU ok? Dont give a rip about anyone else in the gym, your there for you. Your there and your doing it so reach on back and give yourself a pat on the back, you deserve it! Dont let anyone or anything steal the joy you get knowing your doing a good thing. Ok, I'm done preaching.

I was wondering about the issue of bigger chest and rear ends, esp for new runners who might be carrying a little extra weight in those areas, lol. I'm not quite as streamlined as a man, so I was wondering if there is a difference.

and ability. I am not alone in this view. General
Eisenhower, on August 22, 1952, described General
Marshall as one of the patriots of this country.
He went on to say, "If he was not a perfect example
of patriotism and a loyal servant of the United
States, I never saw one. I have no patience with
anyone who can find in his record of service for this
country anything to criticize."
Yet on the floor of this Senate, Senator
McCarthy sought to identify him with "a conspiracy so immense and an
infamy so black as to dwarf any previous venture in
the history of man."
The object of this "conspiracy", said the
Senator, was "to diminish the United States in world
affairs, to weaken us militarily . . . finally fall
victim to Soviet intrigue from within and Russian
military might from without."
This attack on General Marshall was only the
forerunner of other attacks on other American citizens.
Nathan M. Pusey, General Ralph Zwicker, John J. McCloy,

The Rise and Rise of the Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers just keep getting better at getting better.
For the fourth straight year, the Clippers are playing significantly better than they did in the prior season, as measured by their average point differential in each game of the season. Moreover, they are accelerating: Each year their improvement has been bigger than the prior year's. All that improvement has added up to the best record and biggest point differential in the NBA this season. It also has meant that, even as their Staples Center arena-mates the Lakers have slipped over the same period, the Clippers have improved continually and significantly in a way no other team has in NBA history.
If the Clippers maintain anything like their current pace this season, they'll become just the fourth team to improve their point differential by at least five points per game in two successive seasons, according to Stats LLC. This year, L.A. is outscoring opponents by 9.68 points per game, up more than seven points per game from last season's 2.56-point average victory margin. The year before, the Clippers were outscored by an average of 3.13 points per game.
Three other teams have improved by at least five points per game in two consecutive seasons, according to Stats: the Miami Heat in 2003-04 and 2004-05, the Dallas Mavericks in 1993-94 and 1994-95, and the Milwaukee Bucks in 1969-70 and 1970-71. The magnitude of Milwaukee's improvement over those two seasons was the largest — 17.4 points per game, total — while the Clippers' ranks second, at 12.8 points per game.
What makes L.A.'s two-year turnaround the most impressive of the four is that it is the only one to extend a pre-existing upward trend. Miami and Dallas each were reversing recent years of decline: Before each one bottomed out and started their two-year surge, each team had gotten worse for three straight years. Milwaukee, meanwhile, had no prior record to build on — the year before it started its two-year surge was its expansion season. L.A., though, was already rising from the doldrums before picking up the pace. It improved by 2.42 points per game three years ago, and by 3.22 points per game the following year.
In their continual and accelerating improvement, the Clippers are the mirror image of the Philadelphia 76ers of the late 1960s and early 1970s, who followed up a title-winning season by getting worse for six straight years — including declines of more than five points per game in the last two seasons. That Philly team is one of three to have two straight declines that large, with the other two the Charlotte Bobcats of 2010-11 and 2011-12 and the Philadelphia Warriors of 1951-52 and 1952-53. All three of these teams bottomed out in the second year of steep declines, following those up with a season in which they increased their average point differential by five points per game or more. (The Bobcats are in the midst of doing so now.) The flip side of that is that the Clippers haven't left themselves much room to improve next season. The three prior teams with two straight years of big improvements all declined the next year, though one of them, Miami, followed up a slightly less-impressive regular season with an NBA title.
All three of the earlier two-year turnarounds had fairly clear causes: The Bucks were coming off an expansion season, Dallas was coming off one of the very worst seasons in league history and benefiting from successive first-round draft picks of Jamal Mashburn and Jason Kidd, and Miami's upward trajectory came in Heat star Dwyane Wade's first two seasons in the NBA, plus the arrival of Shaquille O'Neal before Year Two of their surge. The Clippers' ascent hasn't coincided with big draft spoils: L.A.'s last two trade-depleted drafts have yielded a total of 71 points for the Clippers. This year Jamal Crawford and Matt Barnes have provided a boost, while Chris Paul, Caron Butler and Chauncey Billups arrived the year before and Blake Griffin the year before that. Paul's arrival is the simplest explanation for L.A's ascent.
The Clippers, continuing their improvement, and the Bobcats, reversing their slide, are two of five teams this year that are at least five points better or worse in average victory margin than they were last season: The Nets also have improved while the Bulls and 76ers have declined. That's a lot of big gainers and losers in the same season, historically, but a modest total compared to some topsy-turvy recent seasons. Six seasons have had more than five teams that improved or declined by at least five points per game in victory margin, according to Stats. Four of those six seasons are among the prior eight seasons, and all had at least seven big gainers and losers.

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|< (a) The Institute for His...
(b) Other Holocaust deniers
1. Irving has connections with other, individual Holocaust deniers, some of whom are associated in one way or another with the Institute for Historical Review, others of whom do not seem to have any connection with it, but are concerned more with direct participation in extreme right-wing politics, particularly in Germany.
2. In 1992, Irving referred to Ernst Zündel as one of 'my friends in Ontario', and described him as a 'martyr'.43 Irving's diary records him as having breakfast with Zündel in Munich on 23 March 1992, on which occasion the German-Canadian forwarded Irving 1,500 Marks to cover the cost of his flight to Toronto to testify in a trial. This Report has already pointed out that Zündel is a Holocaust denier. He is the author of The Hitler We Loved and Why, and a white supremacist who advocates the return of fascism and openly admires the Nazis. Among other things, he was engaged in distributing Holocaust revision literature in Canada, such as Harwood's Did Six Million Really Die? These activities were at the centre of the two criminal trials which he underwent in the second half of the 1980s.
3. In September 1992, Zündel was a guest speaker at a meeting of Irving's Clarendon Club in London. Praising Irving for inviting him, the League Sentinel, organ of the neo-Nazi League of St. George, commented: 'Zündel's fight against those who would wish to censor history has been an example to us all.'44 Irving has had his disagreements with Zündel, who refused to accept Irving's concession that there were some massacres of Jews behind the Eastern Front during the Second World War, but of the closeness of his contacts and the general friendliness of his relations with this outspoken Holocaust denier there can be no doubt.45 Indeed, in a rare acknowledgment of a borrowing from someone else, Irving admitted in 1989, referring to a document in the Public Record Office, that it was 'one of Ernst Zündel's researchers who found this document and showed it to me'. 46
4. Irving has posted on his website the text of the evidence he presented to the second Zündel trial in defence of the accused against spreading the falsehood, in effect, of Holocaust denial. As this Report has already shown, this evidence has some claim to be regarded as the first occasion on which Irving publicly espoused the full range of Holocaust denial beliefs. Also published on Irving's website in 1998 is a very lengthy tract by one 'Samuel Crowell' (apparently a pseudonym), dating from December 1997, which describes the belief that millions of Jews were gassed by the Nazis as a 'delusion', a 'rumor', a 'legend' and a 'hoax'. This item on Irvng's website is followed by a discussion by John Ball of photographic material which alleges that '"death camp" rumours and myths' were invented by the Soviet Union to distract attention from the crimes of Stalin. Ground photos of Auschwitz show 'healthy, happy, relaxed, well-fed inmates'.47 Irving, in other words, is using his website to publicise Holocaust denial material by himself and other Holocaust deniers and indeed make it available to anyone in the world with access to the Internet.
5. In the past, since his conversion to Holocaust denial, Irving has also given his particular support to the work of one of the earliest and most prominent Holocaust deniers, the Frenchman Paul Rassinier. In 1989 he published an afterword to a German edition of Rassinier's book Les Responsables de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, first published in French in 1967. The German edition was published by the Grabert Verlag, which was set up in 1952 by a former official in Alfred Rosenberg's Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories during the war and specialized in Holocaust denial and other right-wing extremist literature, publishing for example Wilhelm Staeglich's Der Auschwitz-Mythos in 1979.
6. In this afterword, Irving described Rassinier as 'a pacifist, a socialist, a member of the resistance against Hitler, a former inmate of a German concentration camp'. In fact, Rassinier (1908-1967) had already been expelled from the Communist Party as a young man before the war, and had been part of a socialist, antimilitarist resistance group in occupied France, which is why he had been arrested and sent to the German concentration camp at Buchenwald. Here, it seems, he had been beaten by a Communist fellow-prisoner for failing to recognise or pay his respects to the imprisoned German Communist leader Ernst Thälmann (subsequently murdered by the SS in 1944). Not only did his fellow-prisoners seem more dangerous than the SS guards to him, Rassinier also got a relatively easy job in the infirmary on his transfer to camp 'Dora' in the Harz mountains, where he was evidently well treated by his boss, a senior SS officer.
7. His Holocaust denial, which initially consisted in defending the SS against its critics and denying reports by survivors of atrocities in the camps, subsequently came to include a denial of the existence of the gas chambers and the assertion that it was the Jews who started the Second World War. Irving described Rassinier as a 'far-shining star' whose book alone guided mariners across the seas of historical knowledge in a way that was unusual in a field where most readers needed to sail by the light of several different stars, several different opinions as it were. His own contribution to the book, in which Rassinier argued that the Jews were responsible for starting the Second World War, was to give credence to Rassinier's thesis by pinning the blame for Britain's declaration of war on the Jewish-dominated British press, Jewish emigrants in Britain, financiers and arms dealers (the unspoken assumption was that these were Jewish too) and suggesting that 'World Jewry - with French politicians like Léon Blum and Georges Mandel at their head - armed itself for a crusade of revenge against Hitler and his supporters, a pitiless crusade which was to be fought out with the armies of other peoples and the blood of other peoples.'48
8. Irving also has a long-term association with the DVU, the Deutsche Volks-Union, a far-right political party in Germany whose main organ, a newspaper called the Deutsche National-Zeitung, carries stories under headlines such as 'How Many Died in Auschwitz?'; 'Auschwitz - Millions of Dead Invented'; 'Jewish Demands for Billions - How Much Longer to Pay for Hitler?' The stories carried under these headings steer clear of direct denial sufficiently carefully to avoid calling down a prosecution under the German law banning denial of the Holocaust49. In 1982 Irving went on a speaking tour of Germany at the invitation of the DVU, denouncing the Nuremberg trials as 'victors' justice', and closely following instructions about what to say sent to him by the DVU's sponsor and organizer Dr Gerhard Frey; in 1983 the Deutsche National-Zeitung, the DVU's paper, awarded Irving a 'European Freedom Prize' for his activities.50 On 17 December 1984 Irving confided to his diary that speaking engagements for the DVU were 'all that I have lived on this last year'. He had also been asked by the DVU 'to do lucrative research in Berlin Document Center' (diary, 19 May 1984).
9. Irving has also had close contacts with the Holocaust denier and active neo-Nazi Ewald Althans, who was condemned to three years and six months in prison in August 1995 for his statements in a film, Beruf Neonazi (Profession - Neo-Nazi) that there had been no mass murder of Jews by the Nazis in the Second World War.51 Althans organized a meeting in Munich on 21 April 1990 at which Irving was guest of honour, and those filmed as present included Anthony Hancock.52 He also played a prominent role in organizing Irving's tour of the then German Democratic Republic the same year.53 Irving's diary records him having dinner with Anthans, as well as Wilhelm Stäglich and Anthony Hancock, in Munich on 20 April 1990,, and responding positively to a phone call from Althans inviting him to give a speech at a far-right Nationale Liste meeting in North Germany on 3 March 1990. Althans was again present with Irving at a Holocaust denial event organized by Thies Christophersen in Antwerp in 1992; Christophersen was a former SS man and author of The Auschwitz Lie, a key Holocaust denial text of the early 1970s.54 And at a meeting of the 'Circle of Friends of Ernst Zündel' held in Munich on 14 January 1993, Irving spoke immediately after Althans.55
10. Another Holocaust denier with whom Irving has had a long-term association is Anthony Hancock, a member of the National Front and then from 1975 an even more extreme splinter-group known as the National Party. Hancock and his father Alan, a former member of Oswald Mosley's blackshirts, were active in promoting Holocaust denial and published Did Six Million Really Die? by 'Richard Harwood', the pseudonym for the National Front leader Richard Verrall. Hancock set up a business called The Print Factory and then became the British agent for the Institute of Historical Review. His Historical Review Press distributed The Auschwitz Lie by the German Holocaust denier Thies Christophersen, and published a number of other Holocaust denial texts, including Arthur Butz's The Hoax of the Twentieth Century.56 Irving has referred to Anthony Hancock as someone 'who sometimes does some printing for us', but in fact the relationship is much deeper. Hancock hired the venue and distributed tickets for a 'revisionist' seminar in London on 4 July 1992 at which Irving spoke; Hancock's Historical Review Press printed Irving's newsletter Focal Point in the early 1980s; the same press informed readers of the Revisionist Newsletter in 1996 that 'by arrangement with David Irving we will be sending his Action Report in lieu of the Revisionist Newsletter whenever the former appears'.57 Hancock was also filmed at a Holocaust denial meeting in Munich on 21 April 1990 at which Irving was guest of honour.58 Irving's diary records telephone calls from the elder Hancock in 1984-5 offering funds and facilities to publish his Churchill biography in the UK ('Hancock's would not make a profit, they'd leave that to me. I really would consider that', wrote Irving on 10 October 1985).
11. Perhaps the most sinister of the Holocaust deniers with whom Irving has had extensive and long-term contacts was General Otto Ernst Remer. Remer played a key role in suppressing the resistance movement against Hitler after the failed bomb attempt on Hitler's life on 20 July 1944, a role of which he boasted ever after. He was an unrepentant Nazi who belonged to the Socialist Reich Party and the Aktionsfront Nationaler Sozialisten, the 'Action Front of National Socialists', both neo-Nazi organizations which were banned by the West German government as unconstitutional.59 Interviewed by a journalist in 1992, he said how much he had loved Hitler, and called the Jews 'our deadly enemies. They have no business being here. They all must be killed.' Remer had several convictions for defaming the dead, including the resisters of 1944, whom he called traitors, and also the Jews who had died at Auschwitz.60 In 1993 Remer said that 'the Jews have expanded their religious love of legends to include the legend of the murder of six million Jews, the most part of which are supposed to have been murdered in German gas chambers during the Second World War'. He went on to condemn 'the purported gas chambers at Auschwitz' as 'one of the many propaganda lies used by the Jew-organizations against Germany.'61 Remer repeated this assertion in a speech at the funeral of the Belgian Nazi leader Léon Degrelle in March, 1994.62
12. Remer was filmed at the April 1990 meeting in Munich referred to above, at which Irving was the star speaker. Remer had close connections to the Institute of Historical Review, and spoke at its Eighth International Revisionist Conference in 1987 on 'My Role in Berlin on July 20, 1944'. In 1990 The Journal of Historical Review carried an interview with him ascribing wartime atrocities against the Jews to Ukrainians and Russians.63 He was active in the HIAG, an organisation for ex-members of the SS with which Irving also had contacts.64 Irving knew Remer, therefore, and had a high opinion of him, which he expressed on Remer's death in October 1997 in an obituary praising him, among other things, for remaining 'loyal to the old cause'.65 Irving's website posted a letter from Remer's widow expressing gratitude 'for what you sent' and complaining that the German government had cancelled her widow's pension.66
13. Remer was connected with another active Holocaust denier, Ahmed Rami, an Arab radical whose organ Radio Islam is a serious purveyor of Holocaust denial. Irving appeared on the same platform as Rami at the so-called 'Leuchter Congress' on 23 March 1991, a meeting at which Rami voiced strongly antisemitic views.67 In 1993 Rami and Remer held a conversation which was posted on the Radio Islam website. Remer alleged that it was the Jewish organizations that had declared war against the German Reich, that the Soviet Union had been set up by Jews, that Jewish organizations planned to set up a new world order, and that they controlled the media and 'most political parties' in the world. 'The war against the Jewish organizations', he concluded, 'is a total war.'68
15. If Remer was an old Nazi who purveyed Holocaust denial in public, then another of Irving's connections, Günter Deckert, can better be classified as a neo-Nazi. Born in 1940, Deckert has had a long career in extreme-right political organizations in Germany, most recently as Federal Chairman of the National Democratic Party (NPD), Germany's most openly neo-Nazi political party, from 1991 to 1995. He has a string of convictions for incitement to racial hatred, insulting the memory of the dead, slandering the Chairman of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Ignatz Bubis, and other, similar offences. The activities which led to his imprisonment included translating a lecture given in 1991 by Fred Leuchter denying the existence of gas chambers in Auschwitz. Irving knows Deckert well, and wrote to him in 1991: 'Dear Günter, - I am shocked about what the police-state has done to you yet again'. Elsewhere he has described him as a 'freedom-fighter' and a defender of 'this great cause' who is 'just one of Germany's Political Prisoners'. Irving has consistently publicised Deckert's imprisonment over the past few years and presented him as something of a martyr for the cause of 'real history'.69 The point in this context is not whether or not Deckert's imprisonment is morally justified: the point is that he has been imprisoned for Holocaust denial under German law, and Irving has associated himself with his cause.
16. In general, therefore, Irving's close association with virtually all the most prominent Holocaust deniers in several different countries demonstrates once more that he is to be counted amongst their number.
