$util.date("MMMM d, yyyy",$topLevel.timeZone)
For a second time in two months, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians will be casting ballots for chief of the tribe Sept. 6..
The regular election was held June 14,. Then a runoff between incumbent Beasley Denson and challenger Phyliss Anderson July 5 resulted in Anderson winning.
But because of alleged voting irregularities in the June 14 elections, all the results for chief and two council seats were thrown out. Now new elections are being held in those three races.
Anderson and Denson are candidates for chief again, along with Shirley Berg.
Just over a week ago, Denson invited Anderson and Berg to a debate. Anderson declined.
"It was something that he was going to sponsor," said Anderson. "If there had been someone to sponsor it neutrally, then I may have agreed to it."
Throughout the course of the campaign and while meeting with tribal members at community gatherings, Anderson says she has made it clear that she has serious concerns about the way tribal administration is handling business.
"We have to tell tribal members the truth about our financial matters and that has not been happening," Anderson said.
However, according to Miko Beasley Denson, the tribe has nothing to hide. Days after the July 5 runoff, the FBI raided the offices of Pearl River Resort and allegedly took away documents and computer hard drives.
Since then, reports have surfaced that Moody's Investors Service downgraded $200 million in securities borrowed by the tribal resort's development enterprise to junk bond status.
"We have to work with our creditors, the bond holders, as well as the banks," said Anderson. "I feel that refinancing is not going to be an easy task, but it's something that's doable. It's something we must do and will do."
If elected, Anderson says she will work to strengthen the relationship the tribe has with state and federal officials, while severing its ties with others such as Mercury Gaming and the Titan Agency.
Mercury Gaming is based out of Atlanta. The Titan Agency is its marketing arm. In recent years the tribe has worked closely with the developer to further boost business.
Meanwhile, with elections a week away Anderson says precautions are being taken by all involved.
"I understand that the League of Women Voters has been contracted to come here, by the administration, and so even with that we will have our own poll watchers coming in to watch from our campaign," said Anderson.
Berg is also expected to have poll watchers at precincts next Tuesday. In last month's runoff, Anderson defeated Denson by more than 350 votes.

FRISCO, Texas – Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball's Eric Weiss capped off the final home series of his Islanders career in big-time fashion, and he was recognized for his efforts on Monday as he was named the Southland Conference Hitter of the Week following the Islanders series win over Lamar.
He was the Hitter of the Week, while Sam Houston State pitcher Caleb Smith was named the league's Pitcher of the Week.
Weiss hit .533 over the three-game series, including an RBI single that tied the series finale at 15-15 as the Islanders had to rally for the victory. In all, Weiss produced five RBI while scoring six runs to lead the way.
Weiss had a hit and an RBI in the Islanders 9-7 win on Friday, and he followed with three hits, including a home run, in the Saturday game. He saved the best for last however, recording the first four-hit game of his Islanders career on Senior Day as the team won a thrilling 17-15 victory. Weiss had three singles and a double on Sunday while recording the game-tying RBI in the 8th at 15-15 as the Islanders rallied for the clinching win of the series.
Weiss leads the Islanders in hitting, with the senior raising his batting average to .344 with his torrid weekend against Lamar. He has helped the team to second place in the Southland Conference with just one series to go. It is the latest the Islanders have ever been in contention for the league title as the team trails Sam Houston State by two games.
The Islanders face Stephen F. Austin on the road to close out the 2013 regular season. The teams will face off in a Thursday – Saturday series to accommodate the early start to the Southland Conference Tournament next week in Sugar Land, Texas.

The Simraceway SRW-S1 Steering Wheel co-developed with SteelSeries, provides a fully customizable driving experience where the steering, shift and pedal controls are in your hands on a free-standing, real-wheel design. The SRW-S1 works with any major PC racing title, but was specifically designed for the Simraceway online racing platform.
Simraceway SRW-S1 Steering Wheel key features include:
1. 15 fully programmable buttons and directional pad for a personalized set-up
2. Customizable steering sensitivity coupled with quick rotary dials for driving aids
3. Interactive ingame: RPM and Shift Indicator lights that respond to Simraceway online gameplay
4. Real-feel: Rubberized racing wheel comfort grips with realistic racing wheel shifters for true to life racing experience
5. Quick set-up: plug and play while racing in the online Simraceway platform
6. USB connection with 2.5 meter braided cord
Ready. Set. Race
The Simraceway® S1 Steering Wheel is a high-performance, handheld PC racing wheel co-designed by SteelSeries and Ignite Technologies. The portable, motion-sensor wheel features a patented throttle and brake lever system that offers a fully simulated racing experience within hands reach. We've collaborated with and tested the SRW-S1 Wheel with top ranked Indy 500 race car drivers and Simracing World Champions.
Stay in Control
Everything you need, from brake balance controls to assist setting dials, are always in reach. No other wheel on the market combines this level of customization and functionality.
In Your Hands
The wheel's unique design means you can take it everywhere and use it anywhere. There are no pedal sets or bulky seats. The Simraceway S1 is a handheld joypad and wheel combined that brings a true-to-life race set-up to your laptop or desktop computer
Full Range
You can experience full-range acceleration and braking on the back of the S1 Wheel. The right paddle - for acceleration/throttle - allows you the ability to vary the amount of throttle input, from feathering to fully depressing it for maximum acceleration. The paddle on the left - for braking/stopping - allows you the ability to vary the amount of braking input from, feathering to fully depressing for full braking force.
Brake Balance Control
Brake balance control (aka "brake bias") allows you to change the brake balance to the front or rear of the vehicle. If a driver were to hit the brakes with a rear brake bias, he is more likely to spin out of control. However, if a driver were to hit the brakes with a front brake bias, his is more likely losing his ability to steer into a corner. A balance must be found. We have a button for that.
Plug it in. Choose your game. Play. Sure, you can customize every button, but only if you want to. There is no complicated configuration required when used with Simraceway™ and most PC racing games.
What's Your Style?
The SRW-S1 wheel adapts to your driving style based on the way you steer. You're going to do it in 1 of 3 ways: Over-steer, under-steer and neutral.
Drivers who prefer over-steer like to have the rear of the car loose and the front dialed in. This allows drivers to use the throttle to correct their driving line or to use it to aid in steering. It also means there is more risk of losing control.
Drivers who prefer under-steer like to have the rear of the car dialed in and the front loose. While it becomes harder to make a turn at higher speeds, it does provide stability and reduces the chances of losing control.
Drivers who prefer a neutral setup like to have both the rear and the front of the vehicle dialed in. This allows drivers to compromise between over-steer and under-steer.
Where to?
Everywhere. The Simraceway® S1 Steering Wheel can be used with all PC racing games including:
-Live for Speed
-DiRT 2
-Test Drive Unlimited
-Need for Speed Shift
-Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit
-Need For Speed Underground
-Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition
-+ Any other PC racing game on the market.
Some features, including the Assists dials and the shift indicator LEDs, may not be compatible with certain titles.
Get a Grip
The rubberized wheel grips have an ergonomic shape that allows you to keep a comfortable grasp to steer as you move around the controller to brake, accelerate, shift, look back, request a pit stop and everything else in order to drive and win.
Total Flexibility
While the wheel comes preconfigured to operate seamlessly with Simraceway®, many of its controls can be customized*, so you can program them to match your driving - and gaming - preferences. Find out more about the simulated racing experience at www.simraceway.com.
Used by the Pros
The SRW-S1 Steering Wheel has been tested and approved by professional racing drivers including four-time IndyCar Series winner, Dario Franchitti and double Indy 500 Champion, the late, great and much missed, Dan Wheldon as well as SimRacing stars, David Greco and Bruno Marques.

VIENNA - Hundreds of people of all ages were given lessons in fire safety with the help of several area fire departments on Saturday at the Grand Central Mall.
Fire departments from Vienna, Parkersburg, Mineral Wells, Marietta and Warren Township as well as organizations including the Mid-Ohio Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross and the West Virginia Division of Forestry participated in the fire safety event, now in its second year.
"We had a great response," said Katrina Stephens, event organizer and marketing director for Grand Central Mall. "People were calling all last week to make sure we were still holding the event, which means people came here just for this and not to shop."

Holden Powell, 13, center, of Ellenboro, puts on a firefighter suit and equipment with the aid of Vienna volunteer firefighters Anthony Richards, right, and Jason Morris on Saturday during a fire prevention event at the Grand Central Mall.
Vienna Volunteer Fire Department Sgt. Nick Hayek said he was pleased to be part of the event, with two Vienna fire trucks parked in the J.C. Penney parking lot.
"This gives us more interaction with the community and teaches children that firefighters are friends," Hayek said. "A lot of the time they only see us when bad things happen, so if they get to know us at an event like this, they may not be as scared."
The mall, with the help of sponsors, gave away 296 smoke detectors to cover 145 homes during the event.
"Our goal was to cover as many households as possible and I think we were able to do that," Stephens said.
About 180 of those smoke detectors were given out Saturday, while those who put in applications for more will receive them when the devices come in.
The Division of Forestry also brought Smokey the Bear and the Mineral Wells VFD brought Sparky the Dog.
Saturday's event took place in the center court of the mall and in the parking lot outside of J.C. Penney.
Stephens said she was inspired to hold the first event last year following a number of fires in the area, including the Parkersburg fire that killed two young girls in February 2012.
"Fires are preventable," she said. "A lot of the time fire prevention (education) ends when you're a child and everyone needs to update their knowledge.
"Everyone needs to be re-educated in fire safety because often times the fire departments, no matter how hard they try, can't get to a home in time and prevention and safety starts in the home and with the family," Stephens added.
New to this year's event was a blood drive held by the Red Cross.

The shooting happened at 164 Otho Roberts Road. It was just before 10:30 Tuesday night when the man who owns the mobile home, J.C. Roberts, was shot while at his front door.
'The guy had just come in from church and all the sudden banging on the door,' says Sheriff James Moore. 'They kicked the door open to be met by gunshots. So, he was really surprised. '
In all, Roberts was shot three times. Sheriff Moore says the three suspects were all black males in their 20's and 30's. At the time they were all wearing dark clothes, dark hats and blue bandanas across their faces.
'The guys that came in were not really looking for the homeowner, they were looking for someone they thought could be here."
After shooting the homeowner, Sheriff Moore says the three held five other people at the house at gunpoint while they ransacked the house and searched it. Ultimately, he says they did not find the person they were looking for, but did steal from the house.
'At this time we're not 100% or sure what they did take. That's still under investigation.'
Sheriff Moore says the motive is thought to be drug related. Once out of the house he says the three fled on foot.
'I want to say to anyone who has any information about this that they need to come forward because there are three very dangerous people out on the street walking around.'
Anyone with information that could lead to an arrest or arrests in this case is asked to call the Kemper County Sheriff's Department at (601) 743-4881.
As of midday Friday J.C. Roberts was still listed in critical condition at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. Meanwhile, Sheriff James Moore says the three suspects could face charges related to aggravated assault and home invasion.

STANFORD -- John Elway never planned to wear the number Stanford will honor Thursday night when the fifth-ranked Cardinal plays host to No. 2 Oregon.
He picked it only to appease those teammates who were upset that Elway had been promised No. 11, the jersey worn by a veteran defensive back.
"I was not going to take the number off anybody's back, that's for darn sure," Elway said Monday. "As much as I wanted No. 11, it was an easy change for me."
Three decades later, Elway and his now-famous No. 7 joins No. 1 Ernie Nevers and No. 16 Jim Plunkett as the school's only players to have their jerseys retired.
When having to choose a new jersey, quarterbacks coach Jim Fassel told the freshman, "The number doesn't make the guy, the guy makes the number."
The kid who threw the ball so hard in practice it would leave a mark on receivers' chests proved Fassel right.
Despite never playing in a bowl game, the quarterback with the toothy grin threw for 9,349 yards and 77 touchdowns at Stanford from 1979-82. He still holds the school's single-game record of six touchdown passes against Oregon State in 1980.
Elway, 53, went on to win two Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos and now is executive vice president of the team. He has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the College Sports Hall of Fame. But it has taken his school eons to retire the jersey.
"It's unbelievably long overdue," coach David Shaw said. "This is all for John. He's been everything a Stanford man should be."
Junior receiver Ty Montgomery and sophomore defensive end Aziz Shittu will finish the season wearing No. 7, the jersey Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wears in honor of Elway.
No one put their stamp on it, though, like the two-time Pac-10 player of the year and 1982 All-American.
"The greatest Stanford football player I ever saw was Darrin Nelson as far as sheer ability," said Jim Rutter, the school's athletics archivist. "But the guy that raised the hair on my arm was John Elway. My breathing would change when he dropped back" to pass.
Such as one play in a 34-9 defeat to USC in 1980. The fourth-ranked Trojans held a 12-0 lead as Stanford had a first-and-10 from the USC 46-yard line.
Elway, then a 6-foot-3, 205-pound sophomore, took the snap only to see the feared Trojans rushers upon him. He scrambled out of the pocket, eventually hurling the ball 60 yards past future 49ers star Ronnie Lott and into the chest of receiver Ken Margerum for Stanford's lone touchdown.
"When John scrambled, all rules were off," said Nelson, now a UC Irvine administrator. "When he did that, I had carte blanche to run deep. No matter where I was, he could get the ball there."
The Cardinal was 20-23-1 in the Elway era although the coaching staffs boasted four guys who would lead NFL teams. The only winning season came in 1980 when Stanford finished 6-5 the first year he started.
But Elway's competitive spirit soared on Saturdays. A week after having four passes intercepted at Boston College in 1980, Elway rebounded at Norman, Okla., against the then-No. 4 Sooners. The quarterback completed 20 of 34 passes for 237 yards and three touchdowns in a downpour.
"It was the football version of "Caddyshack,' " said John Macaulay, Elway's center that day. "Everything clicked."
That was not always the case. Elway suffered an ankle sprain in a season-opening defeat at Purdue in 1981. Then the school faced San Jose State, coached by John's father, Jack Elway.
Dad didn't want son to play. Eventually a team physician cleared the immobile quarterback, who was intercepted five times and sacked seven more in a 28-6 defeat. Afterward, Jack Elway complained to Fassel, the offensive coordinator, that his son shouldn't have played.
"I know," Fassel said. "But Jack, you didn't have to blitz him every damn down."
Football so dominated the landscape, it's easy to forget Elway also was an exceptional left-handed power hitter for the Cardinal baseball team. He hit .349 and drove in 50 runs in 49 games as a sophomore before signing a $140,000 contract with the New York Yankees.
"We had the ability to beat a lot of good football teams, but then again we had the ability to lose to a lot of teams we should have beaten," Elway said of his memories.
The moment often associated with Elway and Stanford is perhaps the most bitter one: the 1982 Big Game.
The quarterback had rallied the Cardinal with a drive that included a 29-yard completion on a fourth-and-17 on its own 13-yard line. Stanford kicked a game-leading field goal with four seconds left.
Then came the infamous Play that derailed Stanford's bowl dreams.
Elway's Delta fraternity brothers were in the middle of it. Assuming Stanford had won, they stormed the field to congratulate the quarterback they called "Woody."
"We're ahead of the trombone guy," recalled Eric Hardgrave, 1983 Pac-10 baseball player of the year. "Then Kevin Moen is running by us."
Moen ran through the Stanford band on the crazy kickoff return to score the touchdown for Cal's 25-20 victory.
The Play ended Elway's college career but not his legacy.
"The highs and lows were the things I remember the most," he said.

Today in the BookRenter office we decided to do some fun taste testing. On the menu was potato chips and corn chips with some classic party favorite dips – Ranch, Onion, and Bean dip.
Ranch was by far the favorite in the office, Onion came in second, leaving Bean dip in third place. (I will say although they were not the winners both the bean dip and onion dip bowls were completely empty. Leaving me to suspect that those who voted for them went back for seconds, maybe even thirds…but really who's counting.)
As always we asked our Facebook fans to cast their vote on which dips they love best- here are some of the responces:
Karen- Hands down….Bleu Cheese!
Chrissy – I love buffalo chicken dip!! It's awesome!
Erica -Ranch, Queso, Spinach and Artichoke, & Guacamole always are big hits with me
Karen – cajun crab!!!
Can you say "YUM?"

We have recently been blessed with a new entrance road into shaver park care of the city of CR. note that this would be the first impactful\significant improvement the Cedar Rapids DG courses have received in over 15 years. I know it's small compared to what we would envision for the "full boar renovations" our CR courses desperately need. However we need to show our gratitude by thanking those that have the ability to grant us that access. Recently a few of our local guys have been in contact with the city to establish some rapport by laying groundwork to obtain these permissions. please take your time to send a short e-mail to the city manager's office and offer your gratitude for our new road. a small thank you goes a long way. Please keep any negative comments, (and\or any "changes" that have been made) out of the message and merely offer your "thanks" as this could lead to future improvements in our courses and overall relationship with the city.
This goes to all dg'ers. Whether you live in CR or not. I believe positive comments from across the state could make a significant impact to show the city that DG is more widely celebrated than they know.
(see below e-mail message from parks superintendent)
Just a follow-up. Much of what we do is tracked and followed with comment cards or correspondence to the City Manager by residents either positive or negative. If you feel the Shaver upgrades are worth the effort, it might be helpful for you to send a short email to the City Manager complimenting the project to help highlight for his information the importance of such funding and support to the Parks and Recreation Department. This would also let him know about your group and the partnership with Parks and Recreation.
Have a great weekend. Sometime soon let's look over the improvements we met about.
Thank you,
Daniel Gibbins
Parks Superintendent, Parks & Recreation

Thursday December 27, 2012
Augusta-GA--The RiverHawks' Captain Matt Auffrey got his club out to a one-goal lead early in the first period. Chad Ziegler sent an area-pass towards the front of the FireAntz goal, and Auffrey was able to chip it in past FireAntz goaltender Kyle Rank.
The lead lasted through to the second half of the first period when the FireAntz were able to even the score. Bobby Reed rushed down the right wing and was guarded closely by a RiverHawks defenseman, but he managed to get a hard wrist shot off anyhow. The shot somehow found it's way past RiverHawks' goaltender Robby Moss and into the back of the net to make the score 1-1.
The RiverHawks managed to take the lead just less than seven minutes into the second period. Auffrey and forward Chad Zielger broke into the FireAntz' zone on a two-on-one opportunity. Ziegler used Auffrey as a decoy, and rifled a snap-shot past Rank to make the score 2-1.
The lead did not last long as the FireAntz capitalized on a defensive breakdown by the RiverHawks off the next faceoff. Ben Contini broke into their RiverHawks' end and slid a pass across the RiverHawks' crease. The puck was fired up over Moss by Jon Clewlow to knot the game at 2 goals a piece.
Clewlow was back at it nine minutes later, as he helped the FireAntz take the lead. Clewlow feathered a perfect pass to the front of the RiverHawks' net, and Brian Elser chipped it over Moss to make the score 3-2.
The RiverHawks had a power play to start the third period, and they managed to capitalize on their opportunity. Will Lacasse started a pretty passing play by sending it down to Ziegler. Ziegler fired a quick cross-crease pass to Patrick Schafer who finished the play off sliding it through Rank's pads.
The game would only stay tied for just over five minutes, as back-to-back turnovers in their own end would cost the RiverHawks. FireAntz' forward Derek Eliott forced the turnover and slid a nice pass out front to Brandon Richardson who hammered a shot past the RiverHawks' goaltender.
The RiverHawks amped up the pressure in the dying minutes generating plenty of scoring chances, but they were turned away every time by Rank who made some of his best saves when his team needed it. The RiverHawks did manage to pull their goaltender in favor of the extra attacker, but it worked against them as the FireAntz were able to send the puck down the ice into the empty net to make the final score 5-3.

Seven young Summit athletes will race across the Alaskan snowscape next week to represent Rocky Mountain Nordic and the Summit Nordic Ski Club at the 2013 USSA Marriott Junior National Cross Country Ski Championships.
"It's cool to be going to Alaska," said Henry Trowbridge, a sophomore at Summit High School. "Everybody's psyched to go up, we're super excited."
The championship, which changes location every year, will take place in Fairbanks, Alaska. Around 250 young athletes from all around the United States will compete in the event.
Last year, seven members of the Summit Nordic Ski Club qualified for the junior national championships, which were held at Soldier Hollow in Utah. The team did well, with athletes placing within the top 20 in each of the four races. Tucker McCrerey, who was a senior at Summit High School at the time, won the gold medal for the relay.
The team last year consisted of six boys and one girl. This year, the four boys are accompanied by three girls, "which is awesome," said head coach Joe Howdyshell.
Returning from last year are senior Jackson Hill and sophomores Trowbridge and Cameron Bobb. They are joined by teammate Liam McDonald, a junior. Tucker McCrerey, a freshman in college, is joining the team for his last eligible year of the junior national championships. Taeler McCrerey, who was the only girl with the team last year, returns, accompanied by Ruthie Boyd and Claire Van Der Yacht.
"We're coming in with more girls and also a lot of potential for some very good performances," Howdyshell said. "I would say we have a stronger team this year. I think we probably have four athletes with chances of top five or top three finishes, so we're looking pretty good there."
Excitement is the main emotion running through the athletes, with perhaps a small tinge of nervousness. Most of them have never been to Alaska before, so not only will they be dealing with the pressure of national competition, but they will be doing so in a completely different environment than they're used to. This doesn't seem to faze them much, however.
"It should be a good experience," Van Der Yacht said, adding that she and the rest of the team were feeling good. "We're pretty confident, I think. We've all been skiing pretty strong this year."
Van Der Yacht especially has stepped up her game lately, Howdyshell said. Though she wasn't on the list to qualify for the championships for most of the year, she made up for it on the very last weekend, skiing fast enough for a qualifying time.
"I just started figuring out the best way to race toward the end of the season, so I was able to go a little faster," she said. As for her goals for this competition, "Just to have fun while I'm there and take away experience from it."
Hill said he is looking forward to seeing Alaska as well as the opportunity to make some waves among the competition.
"It's a cool spot, Alaska. I've never been there before - that alone is going to be a good experience," he said. As for the event, "The cool part is any person can take it. There's a couple forerunners, (but) aside from that, any person can take any position, that's how tight the competition is."
Taeler McCrerey has her sights set high as well. "I'm hoping to place, at least top five would be really nice, that's one of my goals, in any of the races," she said. Most of the preparation work has already been done. "I think you can only prepare yourself, train hard all year, to accomplish your goals or get there," she said. "There's a lot of fast people out here, a lot of competition. Only you can prepare yourself for the best."
According to both coach and athletes, the team attitude is positive, mixed with high levels of energy.
"They're all really excited," Howdyshell said. "We've got a very focused and, for their age, incredibly professional group of athletes that we're taking up here. Many of the kids have been training since May 1st of last year, simply with the goal of winning junior nationals."
Coaches and athletes aren't the only ones gearing up for the nationals - several Summit County parents are also planning to travel to Alaska to cheer on their skiers. While it's the coach's job to prepare the athletes for the competition aspect, the parents are eager to show their support in other ways.
"Our job as a parent is just to deliver our kids rested, prepared, equipped," said Dan McCrerey, Summit Nordic Ski Club president and father of Taeler and Tucker. "We try to be there when they finish, give them a big hug."
While he wouldn't dream of interfering with them right before a big race, Dan McCrerey said sometimes he'll perform a cool down with them, if they're not involved in speaking with other athletes.
Dan McCrerey, who is passionate about the sport of Nordic skiing, said he's happy to see his children getting involved with it. A trip to Alaska, a place that he's never visited before, is an additional bonus.
Emily Boyd, mother of Ruthie, agrees. "That's why it was extra exciting this year," she said, adding, "I'm going to go up there and cheer all the kids on and have an Alaskan winter adventure."
The athletes also said they appreciate the effort on behalf of their parents.
"It will be good to have him there," Trowbridge said, of his father's plans to come up to Alaska.
Taeler McCrerey said she's pleased to experience the event with both her father and brother Tucker around. "It should be good to have him around. I look up to him for big events like this," she said of her brother. As for her dad, "We just know that he's there and he's cheering for us."
One of the main challenges the Summit athletes will face in Fairbanks is the difference in altitude. While in Summit County they ski around 9,000 feet, Fairbanks is much closer to sea level.
"The biggest problem with going down in elevation is that we weren't able to train quite as fast at 9,000 feet," Howdyshell said.
Skiing at a lower altitude tends to be faster, he explained. However, temperature could help them out, if it hits around 4 or 5 degrees, although the forecast is showing it isn't that likely.
Temperature and snow quality are other challenges that the young athletes will face. While Colorado is generally a dry and arid state, Alaska will have 50-60 percent humidity.
"That is a lot different than just dry, cold Rocky Mountain snow," McCrerey said.
Additionally, the course will be unfamiliar. This is something that can be more easily remedied, however. The team arrives in Fairbanks Saturday, giving them two days before the first race day (Monday) to check out the various courses and get used to the weather, temperature and snow quality.
The races will take place Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Ssangyong Engineering May Fall Into Creditor's Hands
The company that built Singapore's landmark Marina Bay Sands may fall into creditors' hands again, for the second time in a decade.
Ssangyong Engineering & Construction, which posted a loss of almost $400 million last year and has tens of millions of debt due by March, said late Tuesday it hopes creditors will agree to restructure its debt under a workout program to prevent it from defaulting on its debt. The builder went through a debt restructuring in 1999 that ended by 2004 as the property market picked up.
South Korean construction companies have been suffering from weakness in the domestic real estate sector since the 2008 global financial crisis, with 21 of South Korea's top 100 builders currently under workout programs or court receivership, according to the government. Ssangyong's workout program will include a debt restructuring.

LAST SEASON: 66-16, beat San Antonio Spurs 4-3 in NBA Finals.
STARTING FIVE: G Mario Chalmers (8.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists), G Dwyane Wade (21.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists), F LeBron James (26.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists), F Shane Battier (6.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists), C Chris Bosh (16.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists).
KEY ADDITIONS: C Greg Oden (free agent, Trail Blazers), F Michael Beasley (free agent, Suns), G Roger Mason Jr. (free agent, Pelicans).
KEY LOSS: G-F Mike Miller (free agent, Grizzlies).
COACH: Erik Spoelstra, sixth season with Heat, 260-134.
EYES ON: Wade. He was one of only four players in the NBA to average at least 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists last season (James, Kobe Bryant and Russell Westbrook were the others). But knee problems in the playoffs raised questions about whether his game is declining, and Wade says one of his goals coming into this season is to silence doubters again.
OUTLOOK: James won his fourth MVP award last season and says he got better again this summer. That alone should make the Heat the undisputed favorites, even with a vastly improved Eastern Conference awaiting them. And the Heat says the looming summer-of-2014 contract decisions for James, Wade, Bosh and others won't affect anything this season, though if that changes, the quest for a third consecutive title will surely become more difficult.
LAST SEASON: 44-38, lost to Indiana Pacers 4-2 in first round.
STARTING FIVE: G Jeff Teague (14.6 points, 7.2 assists), G Kyle Korver (10.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.6 3-pointers per game), F DeMarre Carroll (4.8 points, 2.5 rebounds), F Paul Millsap (14.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists), C Al Horford (17.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.00 blocks).
KEY ADDITIONS: Millsap (free agent, Jazz), Carroll (free agent, Jazz), F Elton Brand (free agent, Mavericks), F-C Gustavo Ayon (free agent, Bucks), F James Johnson (free agent, Kings), C Pero Antic (free agent, Yugoslavia), PG Jared Cunningham (trade, Mavericks), G Royal Ivey (free agent, 76ers).
KEY LOSSES: F Josh Smith (free agent, Pistons), G Devin Harris (free agent, Mavericks), C Zaza Pachulia (free agent, Bucks), F Ivan Johnson (free agent), G DeShawn Stevenson (free agent), G Anthony Morrow (free agent, Pelicans), F Anthony Tolliver (free agent, Bobcats), C Johan Petro (free agent).
COACH: Mike Budenholzer, first season.
EYES ON: Guards Lou Williams and Dennis Schroder. Williams is returning from reconstructive surgery on his right knee in February and if healthy could be an important scoring boost. He was averaging 14.1 points through 39 games, including nine starts. Schroder is a rookie first-round pick from Germany who could be a surprise.
OUTLOOK: Horford and Teague are key returning players on a new-look roster in general manager Danny Ferry's second season, his first with Budenholzer, the former longtime Spurs assistant. Millsap should help make up for the loss of Smith's scoring and rebounding, but once again Horford will spend most of his minutes at center when he wishes he could play power forward. It might be difficult to match last season's sixth seed or even remain in playoff hunt.
LAST SEASON: 29-53, missed playoffs.
STARTING FIVE: G John Wall (18.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 7.6 assists), G Bradley Beal (13.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists), F Trevor Ariza (9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists), F Nene (12.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists), C Marcin Gortat (11.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists).
KEY ADDITIONS: Gortat (trade, Suns), F Otto Porter (draft, Georgetown), F Al Harrington (free agent, Magic), G Eric Maynor (free agent, Trail Blazers), G Glen Rice Jr. (draft, D-League).
KEY LOSSES: G A.J. Price (free agent, Timberwolves), C Emeka Okafor (trade, Suns).
COACH: Randy Wittman, third season with Wizards, eighth season overall, 147-291.
EYES ON: Wall. He never has been an All-Star. He never has played in a playoff game. He has been hampered by injuries. Yet the Wizards nevertheless went all-in on their 2010 No. 1 pick, signing him to a max deal worth about $80 million over five years. He and two No. 3s -- Beal and Porter -- represent a future that is supposed to include a return to the playoffs this season. If not, look for changes: general manager Ernie Grunfeld and Wittman are in the final seasons of their contracts.
OUTLOOK: Break-even would a mighty accomplishment for the Wizards, who haven't come anywhere close to .500 in the last five seasons. To get there, Wall has to stay healthy and show he's worth his money.
LAST SEASON: 21-61, missed playoffs.
STARTING FIVE: G Kemba Walker (17.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists), G Gerald Henderson (15.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists), F Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (9.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists), F Cody Zeller (rookie), C Al Jefferson (17.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.1 blocks).
KEY ADDITIONS: C Jefferson (free agent, Jazz), F Anthony Tolliver (free agent, Hawks).
KEY LOSSES: C Byron Mullens (free agent, Clippers), G Reggie Williams (free agent, Rockets), F Tyrus Thomas (amnesty).
COACH: Steve Clifford, first season.
EYES ON: Jefferson. He gives the Bobcats a proven low-post scorer they have not had before and has the potential to make them somewhat competitive. Should draw some double-teams, which would free up shooters Henderson and Ben Gordon. Management is expecting a breakout season from Henderson with Jefferson on board.
OUTLOOK: The Bobcats have the worst record in the league over the last two years (28-120) but should be better. Not a playoff contender, but better. Management is hoping its young core -- Walker, Henderson, Kidd-Gilchrist, Jeffrey Taylor and Bismack Biyombo -- takes the next step and begins to develop. Clifford's biggest concern is the team's overall rebounding.
LAST SEASON: 20-62, missed playoffs.
STARTING FIVE: G Jameer Nelson (14.7 points, 7.4 assists, 3.7 rebounds), G Arron Afflalo (16.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists), F Maurice Harkless (8.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.7 assists), F Tobias Harris (11.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists), C Nikola Vucevic (13.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.0 blocks).
KEY ADDITIONS: G Victor Oladipo (draft, No. 2), Harris (trade, Bucks), F-C Jason Maxiell (free agent, Pistons).
KEY LOSSES: None.
COACH: Jacque Vaughn, second season with Magic, 20-62.
EYES ON: Oladipo. The Indiana University product is certainly a player that the Magic plan to rebuild around and expect to be part of their long-term plans. He showed his ability as a scorer in college, but will be called on to learn the point guard position as well. Oladipo also won't have a great deal of pressure on him this year on a roster that skews young.
OUTLOOK: This is the second season of a rebuilding effort by the Magic front office, so the team isn't expecting to make a playoff push this year. The focus is on developing Oladipo, Vucevic, Harkless and Harris. The latter three showed flashes of potential All-Star ability. The Magic also has several protected draft picks in the coming years and are hoping that potential will pacify a fan base to remain patient.

Knitter's Review
June 19, 2003
Knitter's Review often gets me in trouble. Whenever I discover a new yarn, tool, or technique I particularly like, I go overboard.
I tested Kool Aid as a yarn dye and ended up with a living room full of hand-dyed yarns. A little over a year ago, I decided to explore knitting with beads. Within a few weeks, I'd accumulated a bead stash to match any store.
My bead-knitting enthusiasm was stirred yet again when I read a new book on knitting with wire. Its review is featured this week.
Because many new readers have joined us since I first wrote about knitting with beads (5,380 of you to be exact), I've also pulled two articles out of the archives, updated them, and republished them this week.
New This Week
Checkbooks beware, there's a way to blend knitting and wire that could get you in some serious trouble. If the patterns in
Nancie Wiseman's new book
don't do it, the list of recommended supplies might.
A few well-placed beads can take your knitting to an entirely new level. Learn how to do it right in this tips-and-tricks article about

Terrie's Take: The Economy and the University Drop-out Rate, Overseas Shopping, and Kirin's Craft Beer!
Terrie's Take is a selection of Japan-centric news collected and collated by long-time resident and media business professional Terrie Lloyd. AkihabaraNews is pleased to present Terrie's learned perspective; we all could use another take on the news - here's Terrie's:

Bins filled with 3 million Lego bricks of every color, shape and size crowd floor-to-ceiling shelves in the surprisingly small confines of the Model Shop at Legoland in Carlsbad.
Lower shelves and tables are crowded with Lego model prototypes -- a small Statue of Liberty, a life-size bust of former NBA player Shaquille O'Neal, a model of Jiminy Cricket. A computer monitor displays the design for a life-size bowling pin, two of which are half built on a well-worn desk.
This is the second home of Ryan Ziegelbauer, a former Berkeley resident who is three years into his dream job as Legoland's master model builder.
Twice, Ziegelbauer's dream seemed to pass him by. Having finished graduate school for urban planning in 2006, he came up short among 24 finalists in a nationwide competition for the Legoland master model builder position. Two jobs and two moves later, Ziegelbauer was working as a sustainable design consultant in Berkeley when Legoland called, offering him the position.
Ziegelbauer wasn't ready to change careers just yet.
"It was always in the back of my mind that I needed to build Lego for a living at some point in my life," he said. "It just needed to be the right time."
That right time was chance No. 3 in 2010. Ziegelbauer accepted the job and quickly found himself immersed in building 1/20 scale model scenes from the "Star Wars" movies. He repeatedly watched DVD clips from the films to get every detail right.
"What's interesting is that on film the colors look different than they actually exist in reality," he said, "and we wanted to get it right."
Photographs and field visits help the builders authentically re-create even the smallest detail. While computers are used to aid in designing some models, others are still constructed by old-fashioned trial and error.
While each model's brick is glued individually, Ziegelbauer says, he and other builders follow strict rules -- even for gigantic models, such as the 400,000-Lego dragon outside the hotel's main entrance, which took a team of 20 to build.
"We don't cheat," Ziegelbauer said. "We don't do anything that you can't do at home. You could in theory, if you had all of the brick, build that giant dragon at home -- of course, you'd need 400,000 green Lego brick."

Cummings, Issa Do Battle at IRS Hearing
Video: Cummings and Issa argue after IRS hearing.
A House hearing on the Internal Revenue Service scandal ended in acrimony, as the ranking Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D., Md.) accused Republicans of a "one-sided investigation" and GOP members walked out.
Chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) ended the hearing after the lone witness, former IRS official Lois Lerner, declined to answer several of his questions, citing her Fifth Amendment privilege.
Mr. Cummings insisted on making his own opening statement, criticizing what he regards as the political bent of the GOP-led investigation.
"We're adjourned, close it down," Mr. Issa said.
Mr. Cummings kept talking. "I am a member of the Congress of the United States of America," Mr. Cummings raged. "I am tired of this…. You cannot just have a one-sided investigation."
Mr. Cummings and other Democrats on the panel have complained for months that Republicans have exaggerated the IRS scandal for political gain in the run-up to the 2014 elections. Republicans say Democrats are trying to distract from the IRS's improper targeting of grassroots tea-party groups.
Wednesday's hearing was a continuation of a panel meeting that was held last May, when Ms. Lerner first invoked her Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. As expected, Ms. Lerner again declined to answer questions Wednesday. That leaves the door open for a possible contempt-of-Congress action against her.
In the latest developments in the investigation, Republicans are highlighting recently-surfaced emails by Ms. Lerner from September 2010. The emails add to the picture of an official who was worried that the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision loosening federal rules on corporate political spending would lead to erosion of IRS restrictions on political activity by tax-exempt organizations as well. The Citizens United ruling was widely criticized by many Democrats, including President Barack Obama.
In one email, in response to concerns about political activities by tax-exempt groups, Ms. Lerner suggests initiating an IRS project to look into some that form under section 501(c)(4) of the tax rules.
She warns colleagues that "we need to be cautious so it isn't a per se political project."
Many of the tea-party groups targeted by the IRS for special scrutiny were seeking 501(c)(4) status too, although those applications weren't involved in the project Ms. Lerner was proposing in September of 2010.
It has previously been reported that she warned colleagues in February 2011 that the 501(c)(4) and 501(c)(3) applications submitted to the IRS by tea-party groups were "very dangerous" because they could become vehicles for court challenges against the IRS rules limiting political spending by tax-exempts.
In October of 2010, she told a Duke University group that the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision was "a huge blow," and "everyone is up in arms because they don't like it." She added that "they want the IRS to fix the problem." She went on to say that she couldn't do much in the short term, however.

Science policy is an area of public policy concerned with the policies that affect the conduct of the science and research enterprise, including research funding, often in pursuance of other national policy goals such as technological innovation to promote commercial product development, weapons development, health care and environmental monitoring.
A scientific method seeks to explain the events of nature in a reproducible way.[58] An explanatory thought experiment or hypothesis is put forward, as explanation, from which stem predictions. The predictions are to be posted before a confirming experiment or observation is sought, as proof that no tampering has occurred.
Science is largely a male-dominated field, with notable exceptions.[81] Evidence suggests that this is due to stereotypes (e.g. science as "manly") as well as self-fulfilling prophecies.[82][83] Experiments have shown that parents challenge and explain more to boys than girls, asking them to reflect more deeply and logically.

Lindenwood University plans to construct a 43,450-square-foot athletic building with an academic support center, new locker rooms for football and other Hunter Stadium sports, coaches' offices, and a Hall of Fame Room. Officials hope the three-story building will be ready for the school's first football game in 2012.
President James D. Evans said Lindenwood's Board of Directors already has approved the construction of the building, which will be erected just outside of 6,000-seat Hunter Stadium over what is now Kirchner Plaza, behind the west end zone.
Evans and the board of directors want the opening of the building to coincide with Lindenwood's entry into the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) in fall 2012. The MIAA is widely considered the toughest NCAA Division II conference in the nation.
"We have been told our facilities are among the finest in Division II," said Evans. "This building will definitely be in keeping with that statement. It will help keep our institution competitive for years to come."
Athletics Director John Creer said two of the most attractive features of the building are the locker room facilities and the spacious academic support center. Creer said the locker rooms will feature wood lockers and other elements not seen before at Lindenwood University.
"There will be a focus on branding and creating a feeling of comfort and pride," said Creer. "This will enhance our winning tradition and help us bring in Division II's top recruits."
Creer said such components are essential when recruiting in today's NCAA, particularly in such a strong conference as the MIAA.
The ground floor of the building will house home and visitor locker rooms and athletic training facilities. The nearly 3,000-square-foot academic success center will be on the second floor, along with locker rooms for men's and women's soccer, men's and women's lacrosse, and field hockey. The third floor, which will overlook the bleachers and the scoreboard, will consist of coaches' offices, a Hall of Fame Room, and meeting rooms.
Lindenwood hopes to break ground on the project in the spring. University officials say the building will cost in excess of $9 million, but no firm cost will be available for a couple of months.

CFO Moves: News Corp., BSD Medical, Tessco Technologies, PDL BioPharma, Lithium Technologies
News Corp., the parent company of The Wall Street Journal based in New York, said that Bedi Ajay Singh will serve as chief financial officer of its publishing businesses when they are spun off later this year into a new entity, which will retain the News Corp. name. Singh was previoiusly the CFO of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. News Corp. also announced at the same time that Wall Street Journal managing editor Robert Thomson will be the new company's chief executive.
BSD Medical, based in Salt Lake City, said in a regulatory filing that it had entered into a separation agreement with Chief Financial Officer Dennis P. Gauger. He will receive $97,200 in severance payments, equal to six months of salary, and the company will pay a portion of his COBRA insurance payments until June 30 or when he becomes eligible for another employer's insurance, whichever is sooner. Gauger will hold the CFO position through the end of the year and remain as a consultant until June 30.
Tessco Technologies, a wireless technology firm based in Hunt Valley, Md., said Chief Financial Officer David M. Young has left the company and is pursuing other opportunities. As part of his severance, he will receive 1.65 times his annual base salary in 12 monthly installments, as well as 30,563 previously earned performance shares. At the same time, the company said Artic Spitulnik, the company's controller, would now serve as its principal financial officer. Young received compensation in fiscal 2012 valued at $838,554, including a salary of $275,000, according to a proxy filing.
PDL BioPharma, based in Incline Village, Nev., said Chief Financial Officer Bruce Tomlinson has resigned for personal reasons. The company has begun a search for his successor, according to a regulatory filing. Tomlinson was first hired by PDL in April.
Lithium Technologies, a software company based in Emeryville, Calif., hired Mark Culhane as its chief financial officer. He was most recently CFO of DemandTec, according to a press release.

PARKERSBURG - Thieves in two break-ins pilfered copper pipe from the Sumnerite Museum on Avery Street, taking more than $17,000 in pipe and fittings, the Parkersburg Police Department said on Friday.
The first break-in occcured after Thanksgiving. Someone returned overnight Thursday when they took the remainder of the pipe for the repairs and $1,660 in tools from Shane Burke, who was fixing the damage done from the first break in at the historic Civil War era structure. Sumner School was the first free school for blacks south of the Mason-Dixon Line.
"They came back and got everything and then took their tools," said Toni Oliver, president of the Sumnerite Association.

The second break-in was discovered about 9:45 a.m. Friday, according to Sgt. Greg Collins, spokesman for the Parkersburg police. The department has no suspects, he said.
Much of the damage was in the bathrooms, but also to the kitchen, Oliver said. The urinals were removed from the walls to get to the pipes, she said.
"It's an absolute mess in the bathrooms," Oliver said.
Also taken were the copper coils and tubing for the air conditioning units, Burke said.
Among the tools that were taken were pipe wrenches, an acetylene torch system, two impact drivers and four batteries and chargers for rechargeable drills, Burke said.
The perpetrators also went through the rooms looking for anything of any value. It appears the thieves knew where to go, including where to turn off the water, and ladders were moved around to aid in removing the copper, Burke said.
"They knew what they where doing," Burke said.
The museum did not have insurance, Oliver said. She made the decision between paying the heating bill and the insurance premium and this was the first time the insurance was allowed to lapse, she said.
"We've been there forever," she said. "This is the first time we even let the insurance go."
The museum is closed pending repairs, Oliver said.
Agents with the detective bureau were collecting evidence at the museum into Friday afternoon. Anyone with information can contact the Parkersburg Police Department at 304-424-8444, Collins said.
"We hope somebody might have seen something," Oliver said.
Sumner was established in 1862 and named after Sen. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, a leading abolitionist in the United States. The school was closed in 1954 when segregation was ruled unconstitutional.
The main part of the school was razed. Remaining is the gym, which was renovated and became the Sunshine School for handicapped children, then the Sumnerite Museum and Learning Center in the late 1980s.
The museum was created by Oliver's mother, Rae Browne.

Marco Arment, the founder of Instapaper and former CTO of Tumblr, had some interesting comments on the recent dissent on Twitter, compliments of their new "dickbar" feature. As I read it, I realized that Twitter is turning the corner from a beloved, worry-about-making-money-later company into a just-barely-tolerable advertising machine.
Twitter is entirely free. It depends on selling Promoted Tweets, "Promoted Trends" (oxymoron, anyone?) and Promoted Accounts. I remember when Robert Scoble was begging for a paid account on Twitter. He wanted to pay for a (finally) reliable service. Instead, Twitter has chosen to kill off third party apps and sites that essentially do what theirs do, and connect it's revenue pipeline to Madison Avenue.
Rather than create value and charge for it, Twitter (and its users) fell victim to the startup mirage that is "free"–aim for world domination growth… then hit them with a dickbar once they're hooked.
Twitter is still a powerful and useful tool, but it is choosing to monetize by way of degrading its users' experiences. Kind of like traditional media, and how's that working out?
Most startups are encouraged to subsidize the growth of their whiz bang, insanely useful product simply to get as many users hooked as possible. While yes, this can be the quickest path to more users, it often leads to expedited failure, missed potential, or pulling a bait and switch on your users.
Common outcome 1: Your startup runs out of money
This is the most likely outcome. If you don't get enough users to impress investors who are betting on meteoric growth, or make some dough, you'll run out of it. Good luck and godspeed on that one.
Common outcome 2: Your product gets bought and then turns into a steaming pile of suck
Remember Dodgeball, Delicious, Flickr, StumbleUpon? Their outcomes were all pretty similar. Each was a promising startup that feel short of its potential as a direct result of its acquisition. The only thing accomplished by Dodgeball's acquisition is that it temporarily chained Dennis Crowley to a desk where he could not create his dream company. He left to create Foursquare and Google had to buy Slide to figure out "social." Meanwhile, Yahoo will sell Delicious to anyone with $1-2MM. I think the deal may even include a box of Cracker Jacks. And StumbleUpon is on it's second wind after getting bought back from eBay, after never figuring out what to do with it (surprising?). [1]
Common outcome 3: Your users get bait and switched
The common approach to building a web startup is to subsidize use to maximize growth. Web applications are increasingly cheap to build and usually involve near-negligible per user variable costs. Therefore, many choose to create the expectation that their service, in its entirety, should be both free and useful, then renege on that promise later. But, as a user of a service I value, charging for it actually reassures me that it will be around as my reliance it grows, building trust and loyalty (e.g. the stuff it takes to build the next Google).
Maybe your product shouldn't be free
This is a thought exercise, not a hard-and-fast rule. But why not build a startup that offers a better experience when the user pays for it?
There are plenty of great role models for the type of product that both prints money (which investors like) and create real, scalable value for their users. Airbnb is a great one. I was actually astonished to hear how few users the service had when it closed it's seed round, led by Sequoia. Airbnb is not a cheap service–it gets a piece of the action from the buyer and the seller. Yet if it were free, users would likely value the service less.
Another great example is Github. While it was offered in beta for free, Chris and Tom started getting emails saying "I love GitHub. Can I start paying you guys now?" They've got a great business now and are having a lot of fun. I'd recommend watching Tom rub it in at his Startup School talk last year, if you weren't there or haven't seen it.
Smugmug is yet another great example in which cost was actually a differentiator in the super crowded photo space. And Animoto similarly built an awesome product for turning photos into music videos. You might even argue that its users, such as Mike Arrington, become even louder evangelists of the product to validate the price they pay for the service. And Dropbox has found astonishing success in focusing all of its attention on creating a valuable service that's worth your money.
[1] On occasion, the product and community survives and is properly nurtured. Reddit is a great example of this, having grown to a billion pageview per month site under the ownership of Conde Nast (and also would have been a thriving, awesome company today, independently).

I'm a new runner doing c25k. I've been doing 3 weeks with no problems until now. I did walk alot previously, but never jogged. I went to a running store and got nike free run 3.0's. I was previously wearing vibrams. Since they were new shoes, they wanted me to use a treadmill in case I needed to return them. Shoes feel great, no blisters. I'm having bad leg pain though, that has caused me to not be able to run. I ran through it one day and it got worse. It starts in the middle lower knee and goes to the side of my inner leg just below the knee. It's more in my leg then my knee. Anyone know what that sounds like? I have never ran on a treadmill before. So, the two things that changed were my shoes and running on the treadmill. Any idea if it could be either of the two and which one possibly? I miss running and want to keep going, but not sure if I should still do it since the pain is still there. I do feel it in the same place on both legs, but the left is alot worse then the right.
It could be an alignment/balance issue, so you may want to consider inserts or even a different model of shoes. It is a good idea to get a professional opinion, but a lot experts also recommend stretching/strength exercises for the hamstrings and quads.
Just take things slow and check it now so that you can correct the issue and continue with your progress.
Wishing you all the best
I'm wondering why you moved away from the Vibrams. The change in shoes combined with running on the treadmill may have encouraged you to change your form You may be lengthening your stride and extending your feet further in front of you, putting more strain on your knees and lower legs. Check your form and footplant, maybe go back to the Vibrams to see if there is any difference.
I think it's both shoes and treadmill.
First, the treadmill. People almost always set them on an incline, which strains the plantarflexors that anchor on the lower leg and can cause pain below the knee. In the real world, we are not always running uphill. We shouldn't be doing that on treadmills, either.
Regarding shoes, I would never recommend that a tenderfoot runner jump cold-turkey into a running program with either Vibram 5-fingers or Nike Frees. There simply isn't enough structure in the shoe to shore up muscles, ligaments, bones and tendons that are not yet conditioned to go it alone. Start with a more structured, unnatural shoe to match the unnatural rigors of running and the artificial surfaces we run on. As you build up your muscles, you can gradually wean yourself off the support gear.
When I bought the first run of Frees, instructions in the box said they were for intermittent use for just a few miles at a time until you build up for the lack of structure. They specifically said not to use them as a regular trainer. I experienced pain when I ignored their advice and tried, too.
Like all strengthening exercises, unstructured footwear can be overdone to the point of weakening you. However, they have value in gradually building up to a regular program as the Free instructions originally advised. The idea is to prepare, then execute. If you try to do both at once, you are likely to experience setbacks like these.
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

Government proposals to combat tax abuse are "unnecessary and a recipe for uncertainty", says the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). It has criticised plans to add new rules to an already complex tax system, and says they could adversely affect honest small firms.
In evidence to the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee on the proposed introduction of a General Anti-Abuse Rule (GAAR) later this year, ACCA said existing tax laws already catch genuine abuses and that the introduction of more rules would only create uncertainty for businesses and individuals.
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, head of tax at ACCA, said: "We don't need GAAR as there is already considerable legislation in place to capture genuine tax abuse. If the Government feels businesses are not paying enough tax, anti-abuse measures are not the way to go about rectifying that. A fundamental review of the tax system is needed."
In its response to the House of Lords, ACCA said that, in many cases, what has been labelled "tax avoidance" was in fact within the perimeters of tax law and that the introduction of GAAR would not change that.
Roy-Chowdhury added: "While larger businesses will be able to ensure compliance to GAAR with ease, it will create uncertainty for the many small businesses and individuals who will have sleepless nights wondering whether the perfectly legitimate financial planning they have used is considered abusive under the rules.
"While it is important to have an anti-tax abuse regime that is visible and acts as a deterrent, it should not act as a deterrent to investment and the entrepreneurial spirit which the Government is looking to nurture in the UK."
Fears about self-assessment
And it seems that small businesses are feeling anxious about tax and self-assessment, according to a new poll conducted by YouGov this week. Over a fifth of owners of the UK's smallest businesses feel anxious about completing their self-assessment tax returns, according to the research carried out on behalf of FreeAgent.
In a poll of more than 500 owners of businesses with five or fewer members of staff, 21% said that they were anxious about completing their tax return, whilst 5% said they were terrified.

A new scam is here just in time for the holidays. Some callers can trick your caller ID into thinking they are your bank or credit card company. And that could put crooks one step closer to getting your personal information.
Your bank is calling, or so you think. Veronica Henderson got caller ID so she will know who's on the line. If her bank called asking for her account number…
"I would just give them the information," Henderson said.
But tele-spoofing is a service that lets the caller disguise themselves as anyone they want.
A warning sign to look out for, if the caller asks you for personal information to update your account, hang up the phone, it could be a scam.
Security Administrator James Van Meter from Medical College of Georgia finds lots of spoof websites popping up. This one had over 50,000 hits in the past year. He worries this might happen to his seventy-year-old mother.
"We had a computer crash and we need your pin number and account number so we can give you money for Christmas," Van Meter said.
Keeping tabs on the companies that make and sell the spoof ID's is difficult because they operate overseas.
"We are securing things from the beginning, not trying to react," said Mark Staples, Director of Security at MCG.
Identity fraud is a felony in the state of Georgia, and applies to anyone who uses someone else's personal information. But just buying a spoof caller ID isn't against the law.
"That's very frightening cause that's my personal information," Veronica Henderson said.
And you never know who wants it on the other end of the line. Laws against identity theft were passed back in 1998, and the state has prosecuted hundreds of cases since then.
So what can you do if you are a victim? The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 will help you alert creditors that you are a victim, like putting a fraud alert on your file, blocking your personal information and preventing businesses from reporting you.
