Searchers find no trace of plane missing 2 weeks
Two weeks after a Boeing 777 went missing with 239 people aboard, searchers in the South Indian Ocean were unable to find a trace of it Friday despite clearing weather. "Something that was floating on the sea that long ago may no longer be floating -- it may have slipped to the bottom," said Australia's deputy prime minister, Warren Truss. "It's also certain that any debris or other material would have moved a significant distance over that time, potentially hundreds of kilometers." Five planes, including three P-3 Orions, made the four-hour, 1,000-mile flight to the search zone Friday from Perth, giving them two hours to search before the four-hour flight back. Visibility had improved from Thursday, but no trace was found of the floating objects spotted by a satellite days ago.
Putin makes annexation of Crimea official
President Vladimir Putin finalized Russia's internationally condemned annexation of Crimea on Friday, signing a law that declares the Ukrainian republic to be Russian soil. Putin ordered fireworks displays in Moscow and Crimea, and he publicly joked about U.S. sanctions on his associates, saying, "We should keep our distance from those people who compromise us." Almost simultaneously in Brussels, EU leaders signed a political association agreement with the new Ukrainian prime minister -- part of the same deal that was scrapped by then-President Viktor Yanukovych, igniting months of protests that drove him from power. "This deal meets the aspirations of millions of Ukrainians that want to be a part of the European Union," Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, visiting Kiev, urged talks between Russia and Ukraine. "At times like this, it is vital that all parties refrain from any provocative actions that could exacerbate an already very tense and very volatile situation," he said. In Crimea, meanwhile, Ukrainian troops faced a critical choice: Leave, join the Russian military or demobilize. Ukraine was working on evacuating its beleaguered troops, but some said they were still awaiting orders.
Turkey's attempt to shut down Twitter is a Fail Whale
Shut down Twitter, will you? We'll see. After Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to "rip out the roots" of the microblogging site, Turkey's telecommunications authority said it had blocked access to Twitter. But the tech-savvy opposition quickly found a workaround, and a flood of tweets publicized recordings that appear to incriminate Erdogan and other officials as corrupt. Twitter is so popular in Turkey that Turkish hashtags routinely appear in global trends. Tweets were fast and furious Friday as users swapped instructions on how to change their settings to circumvent the ban. One user spread the word by defacing election posters with instructions on how to beat the censors. Even President Abdullah Gul, once an Erdogan ally, spoke out against the shutdown of Twitter. The White House press secretary also weighed in, releasing a statement that read, "We oppose this restriction on the Turkish people's access to information, which undermines their ability to exercise freedoms of expression and association."
Why Hawaii's finest should be free to hire hookers
Honolulu police officers are urging lawmakers not to overturn an exemption that allows them to have sex with hookers while on duty. The Five-0 say they need legal clearance to do the deed when conducting, um, "undercover" investigations -- otherwise prostitutes will insist on having sex just to out them as cops. One retired FBI special agent experienced in sex crimes was appalled that Hawaii's finest would be allowed to have paid sex on the job. "I don't know of any state or federal law that allows any law enforcement officer undercover to ... do what this law is allowing," said Roger Young. "Once we agree on the price and the sex act, that's all that you need. That breaks the law." Lawmakers are revamping Hawaii's prostitution laws and had proposed scrapping the exemption for officers on duty, though the exemption remains in a bill currently being debated. "The procedures and conduct of the undercover officers are regulated by department rules, which by nature have to be confidential," Honolulu Police Maj. Jerry Inouye told the state House Judiciary Committee. "Because if prostitution suspects, pimps and other people are privy to that information, they're going to know exactly how far the undercover officer can and cannot go." Hook 'em, Danno!

Staples campaign video: He's a gunny, horsey kind of guy
Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples, who is running for lieutenant governor, on Monday released a nearly 2-minute-long Internet video. On the surface, its message is that Staples is a conservative fighter who will stop the insidious "Obama political machine" from turning Texas blue, a reference to the advent of groups such as Battleground Texas. Trust Staples, it says, to protect us from becoming another California or Washington, D.C.
One of the Staples video's subliminal messages, though, is countering the gun rights bona fides of at least one of his known opponents, Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, if not also Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who also touts himself as a gun rights advocate.
As a state senator, Patterson authored the concealed handgun law. Staples wants you to know that when he was a state senator, he had an A rating from the National Rifle Association. But there is more: Twice, the video shows us Staples as he's being interviewed on Fox News. The chyron says, "Packing Heat on the Border: Real Estate Agents & Farmers Carrying Guns." Off to the side is a logo, "Under Attack."
Then there is Staples firing a handgun at a target in a gun range. Finally, as Staples speaks to camera about individual liberties as synonymous with gun rights, there are pictures of billboards promoting "Guns" and "Ammo," and video footage of Staples as he inspects a shotgun in a gun store.
Staples, who is from rural East Texas, pushes his rustic side, too. One image shows Staples' tugging on barbed wire during a fence installation or repair. Either he or an extra, it's not ever clear, rides a galloping horse across a pasture. In the video's final 30 seconds, a cowpoke on horseback rides more slowly, as a Texas flag waves in the foreground.
Dewhurst competes as a rider in cutting horse competitions and has owned scores of quarter horses on his 1,800-acre ranch in the Texas Hill Country near Fredericksburg. The video seems to say that Staples also is a cowboy at heart, or at least at home on the range.
The video throws other red meat to hard core conservatives. It speaks of abuses by the Internal Revenue Service and Staples' sponsorship of anti-gay marriage legislation as a Texas state senator.
The filing deadline is in December.

Extinction or salvation for La Jolla's T.Rex?
By Dave Schwab
Staff Writer
Felled by a tree not a space object this time, the fate of the mighty 14-foot-high T. Rex that for two years has been prowling the estate at 1401 Muirlands Drive remains uncertain.
Will it be extinction once again for the king of beasts? Or it will it be granted a reprieve this time?
The owner of the much-beloved metal-sculpture dinosaur in the Muirlands, who requested anonymity, isn't sure what they're ultimately going to do about the local landmark that was downed by a huge eucalyptus tree in their yard during a recent storm, crushing it into a fence where it now lies prone.
"The dinosaur's pretty messed up," the owner said. "There's much discussion and debate about the next step."
The next step is a decision between two possible outcomes, "Haul it to the dump vs. recreating it," the owner said.
Ned Scudder, who had a view of the T. Rex's head from his TV room across the street before it got knocked over, knows what he'd like to see done with it: something right out of "Jurassic Park."
"I'm encouraging them to use the old bent and battered T.Rex, get at least one more dinosaur, and have it standing over the downed one so it looks as if there's been some kind of battle taking place."
Scudder said it's bizarre just how attached neighbors are becoming to the backyard T. Rex.
"They've sort of adopted it," he said, noting just how much is being demonstrated by people's reaction to its apparent demise. "People have stopped their cars, and their walks with their kids, and gone, 'We can't believe it, this is terrible. What are we going to do?' They've been leaving cards and flowers, stuffed animals on the fence. It's pretty amusing."
The T.Rex owner agreed people are taking more than just a mere liking to the prehistoric beast. "It's been a very odd reaction in the neighborhood, particularly elderly people," the owner said said. "Moving the thing one morning, a 90-year-old lady started screaming and asking me what I was doing. She told me not to move her dinosaur."
"It's kind of become a neighborhood icon," agreed Scudder, who added it was fun to witness people reacting to it when it was fully outfitted at Halloween.
"It had a hydraulic ram in the tail powered by an extension cord and they had it hooked up with lights and when kids walked by, the dinosaur would rumble and lean right down at them and freak them out," he said.
Scudder said people have also been making offerings to the thunder lizard.
"Probably 20 or more stuffed animals have been thrown upward into its mouth so it looks like it's chewing some kind of small animal."
Muirlands T.Rex's owner is putting off the hard decision which has to made about the prehistoric yard sculpture, noting the original artist could be retained to recreate it to follow up on Scudder's suggestion of adding an attacker so it has a "theme."
They almost fear the reaction of their family and neighbors if they do decide it's time for T. Rex to rejoin the fossil record.
"Children are pretty attached to it, approaching its being a pet," the owner noted. "It has given a certain status to the neighborhood defining that little corner there."

PARKERSBURG - City Council next week will consider the first reading of an ordinance aimed at not only giving employees raises but bringing salaries more in line with comparable positions around the state.
The meeting is slated for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in council chambers at the Municipal Building.
The pay ordinance was referred to the full council from the Personnel Committee on Aug. 6. It includes changes in classification to a number of positions and pay increases for some classifications, in addition to an across-the-board 2.5 percent raise for everyone except department heads.
Mayor Bob Newell said years of longevity raises, combined with lump-sum pay increases and changes in the city's workforce have resulted in some salaries being out of line with the work people are doing.
"Now the problem is we have a lot of people in the appointed professional positions, like engineer, that are making an extremely low wage" compared to their peers in other parts of the state, he said.
That makes it difficult to attract candidates who can make more in the private sector, Newell said.
Fact Box
Council Meeting
* 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, council chambers, second floor, Municipal Building
Meanwhile, workers in some entry level positions are being paid "more than the private sector pays," city Finance Director Ashley Flowers said.
The classification changes and raises will help get some jobs closer to the average of those positions around the state, Flowers said, even if they're still below it.
"I think it's going to be a process," she said.
Councilman John Kelly said he will probably vote for the proposal, but favored a lump-sum increase, as the city has often done in the past.
"I would've rather seen it just go across the board and benefit the people with the lower income," he said.
Newell said he understands that reasoning, but feels the percentage increase is more appropriate because some positions with few professional requirements are making salaries close to jobs with more.
The mayor said reclassifications are also needed because more than 45 city jobs have been eliminated through attrition and reorganization since he took office in 2006.
"Some people have taken that extra work on and some haven't," he said.
Council President John Rockhold said his chief concerns were whether the city could afford the raises in the first place and afford them going forward.
"I think they've (the administration) clearly showed that there is funding to do it," he said.
The raises are expected to cost $400,144, and Flowers said factors like the freezing of longevity pay and improvements in efficiency and tax collections will help sustain them going forward.
Rockhold said he supports the plan but would have liked to see some merit increases included as well.
"We've got some good, hard-working employees, and we've got a few that, shall we say, need some encouragement," he said.
Newell said merit raises present some challenges, since they can be subjective and are not possible for civil service jobs like police and firefighters.
Also on Tuesday's agenda is a resolution prohibiting pets from drinking out of water fountains in city parks.
"I got a complaint" about a woman letting her dog drink from a fountain in one of the parks, said Kelly, who is sponsoring the resolution with Councilmen Roger Brown and J.R. Carpenter.
The proposed resolution says that "improper use of some drinking fountains in the city parks has raised concern for the health and welfare of humans utilizing said drinking fountains." Under it, animals can only be permitted to drink from fountains with specific signage designating them for use by animals.
Newell said there is one such fountain by the gazebo in City Park, which has a silver bowl from which animals can drink. That fountain has been broken for a while.
"We don't mind putting some more of those bowls out," the mayor said.

Use the search field below to find studies in the annotated bibliography.
Marie Connolly
Chair of Social Work, Melbourne School of Health Sciences, The University of Melbourne
Child protection work exists within a complex environment that is strongly influenced by individual, professional and societal values. Child welfare systems are influenced by the culture of the society within which they exist. Culture shapes our expectations of the state, the community and the family, and how they each respond to children needing care and protection. Although there would appear to be considerable commonality across child welfare systems internationally, there are inevitably cultural differences that give meaning and character to the work.
Structural systems that provide the mechanisms through which services are delivered differ across international boundaries. In some countries, these services may be primarily organized at a central government level, while others may be provided by local nongovernment systems. Legal frameworks also differ. How the law provides for the needs of children and families clearly affects the way in which practice is undertaken within a particular jurisdiction. Hence, the structural system and a country's legal framework will critically shape both the principles that inform practice and the way in which interventions occur.
It is important to consider the cultural context within which each study in this bibliography has been undertaken. As countries have adopted family decision making as an engagement strategy, inevitable adaptations have been made and practices differ in important ways. This makes international comparisons much more complex. Indeed, the notion of family decision making itself may adapt more readily to some jurisdictions than to others. For example, societies that focus on the nuclear family -- mother, father and children -- may find the notion of involving extended kinship networks in decision making much more challenging than societies in which collective responsibility for children is a cultural norm.
Of course in general, cultures are open and dynamic systems in which change is a consequence of a creative interplay of ideas, values and activities. In this sense, the extension of family decision making across international boundaries is an exciting and enriching process and one that provides us with opportunities to explore our differences and challenges as well as our successes.

A bit about me and why I decided to make this blog
First off, I am glad you are here. My name is Patrick and spreading the word about the importance of mobile marketing has become my passion. A lot of new and old businesses tend to struggle, or even fail, if they don't use proper marketing. In today's world it is absolutely vital that a company utilise all the latest in marketing to help their business not only survive, but thrive as well.
Part of why I am so adamant about mobile marketing is because I know what it is like to try and have a small business competing in the local market. Even when your customers are in the town around you, brick built stores still need an online presence and a grasp on the mobile market even more. My attempt at traditional store front did not last long, and what I learned from my trials I want to help pass on to others.
From my learning, I found out that having a mobile connection is vital to 37% of shoppers who make in store purchases, only after they have used their mobile device help them prepare for shopping. That is a pretty large bite of the market and if your business doesn't have a bit, the missing sales can add up rather quickly. Shoppers have also expressed in survey that they want mobile interaction with the store, such as exclusive deals made available while there. It is facts such as these that I wish I had known and would like others to know, before, or so they can stop loosing out.

Germany's high court on Wednesday paved the way for the introduction of tuition fees at the country's universities.
Prevent student fees, reads the sign
The judges in Karlsruhe declared the federal law banning the imposition of tuition fees unconstitutional and said the law violated the constitutional rights of the German states to regulate higher education.
The Social-Democrat-led government introduced the ban to prevent conservative-led states from charging fees, which the government argues violate the principle of equal opportunity for all social strata.
A revolutionary change
According to commentators, it's a change that will revolutionize Germany's academic system.
So far, states have only been able to charge fees if students have significantly exceeded the regular study time.
While state governments want fees to help cover costs, some fear fees will limit access to universities. The constitutional court became involved in the matter after six states led by conservative governments appealed to judges to review a ban on fees imposed by the federal government in 2002.
Those in support of student fees have said the extra money is needed to cover the rising cost of universities while state governments lack funds. They also believe that fees will encourage students to study more efficiently.
Students in front of Heidelberg University
He added that he supported fees of €500 ($650) per semester. Should the court lift the ban on Wednesday Bavaria would try to introduce fees by the fall.
No way to speed things up?
But the student fees would not come close to cover the actual university costs per student -- €8,500 annually on average. Opponents also argue that fees would make it even harder for people to study while not causing students to finish their studies faster.
Still a popular way for students to make money
"Anyone who needs to work to cover the fees will study longer as a result," she said.
Fees elsewhere
While US universities have long charged tuition fees, which can climb to $25,000 and more at top institutions per year, other European countries have also begun charging students to help cover costs.
In Britain, students pay up to €4,300, but get discounts if they are from poor families. The Netherlands introduced fees in 1986, Austria did so in 2001 and currently charges students about €720 per year. Nordic countries meanwhile still pay their students several hundred euros per month.
Members of Germany's governing coalition believe university students might soon have to pay tuition fees, a plan the opposition favors. Germany's highest court is expected to rule on a tuition ban later this year. (Aug. 2, 2004)
Leading German education experts have called for more autonomy for German universities to improve competitiveness on an international level. (Aug. 16, 2004)

The U.S. Attorney Mess: A Monday Morning Roundup
The DOJ issued a press release Friday announcing the departure of Rachel Brand, assistant AG for legal policy. Supreme Court junkies might recognize Brand as the woman who showed up in photos with Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito during their confirmations, as she was in charge of helping them prepare for the hearings.
Brand (Minnesota, Harvard Law) previously worked in the White House Counsel's office and before that at Cooper, Carvin & Rosenthal (now Cooper & Kirk). She clerked for Justice Kennedy and Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Justice Charles Fried.
Though she is not known to have played a direct role in the firing of the U.S. Attorneys, Gonzales's former chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, at one point asked her whether she might want to be a U.S. Attorney in Michigan, replacing a prosecutor who was forced out, according to the WaPo. Though interested at first, Brand reportedly did not apply for the job. DOJ officials said she plans to leave July 9 and stay at home with her first child, due this summer. She's the seventh senior aide to Gonzales to step down in the past few months.
Meanwhile, on Meet the Press yesterday, Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT) said he will attempt to cite the White House for criminal contempt of Congress if it does not turn over documents related to the firing of nine federal prosecutors. "If they don't cooperate, yes, I'd go that far," he said. "This is very important to the American people." (Click here for the transcript)
Leahy also told Tim Russert that he has a cameo in the upcoming Batman Begins sequel, the Dark Knight. He also appeared as a cameo in Batman and Robin. The Georgetown Law grad is supposedly a big time fan of the caped crusader.

The Calvados CocktailMonday, August 13th, 2007
You might be wondering what calvados has to do with this Mixology Monday's orange theme, but a closer look at this 'calvados' drink reveals the name to be something of a misnomer. Just a third of the drink is calvados, with the remainder comprised entirely of things orangey. (more…)

The Approach
The approach hike took us from Junco Lake Trailhead over Caribou Pass to Lake Dorothy. Here we are approaching Caribou Pass at 11,800 feet.
Camp at Lake Dorothy
We made our camp at 12,061 feet, just west of Lake Dorothy. Mt. Neva and the remnant of the glacier that formed Lake Dorothy made a spectacular backdrop.
Our Objective
From our camp we could see our objective. South Arapaho is on the right at 13,397 feet. North Arapaho is to the left at 13,502 feet. The ridge running between them is one of the great classic traverses of the Colorado Rockies. The previous winter's snowpack was only 30% of normal, so by the time we arrived in August, there was no snow. The couloirs we had planned to climb were out of the question, so we opted for the route up the southeast ridge from the Arapaho Glacier Trail.
First Light
We started early on summit day, on the trail at 4:30. By first light we had reached Fourth of July Mine, some 700 feet below our campsite. Here we rested briefly and took on water--the last we would see until returning to this point late in the day.
By dawn we were well above treeline and approaching Glacier Point, a shallow saddle at the base of South Arapaho. On the other side of the pass was the grand Arapaho Glacier. There are some good pictures of the glacier on the Colorado 2002 picture gallery.
Climbing the South Peak
From the saddle ovelooking the Arapaho Glacier we climbed up the edge of the glacier-carved precipice towards the summit of South Arapaho. The climbing was not technically difficult but at 13,000 feet it took a lot of breathing!
Approaching the Summit
As we approached the summit of South Arapaho, we could see Lake Dorothy nestled at the foot of Mt Neva--a long way away, and far below us. With binoculars we could make out our brightly colored tents.
Arriving at the South Arapaho Peak
As we approached the top, South Arapaho threw a few false summit teasers at us, but finally we climbed up to the real thing.
Shelter at the Summit
Throughout our climb the weather was fantastically clear, with a brilliant blue sky--but a fierce, cold wind whipped at us constantly. A rock shelter at the south summit provided welcome relief.
The Arapaho Traverse
From the south summit, the ridge connecting to the north summit stretched before us. The total elevation gain along the ridge is relatively small, but three imposing gendarmes block the way. In order to complete the traverse we needed to find a way over or around each of them.
On the Traverse
After a brief rest at the South Summit, the traverse party suited up, packed the technical gear, and started out across the traverse. As we picked our way across the ridge, the wind threatened to blow us right off the mountain.
The Chimney
We found our way over the first gendarme by climbing this chimney up to a point near its peak and then working our way around the side. The second gendarme required a roped ascent right over the top, but in the wind we were too busy negotiating the climb to take any pictures!
Far out on the traverse, routefinding became more challenging. On the return we really wanted to avoid going over the top of the second gendarme, so we found a way far below on the west side of the ridge.
The "Summit"
Although we were very close to the actual summit of North Arapaho Peak, we decided to stop short. The wind was very fierce, altitude was taking its toll, and under the circumstances the technical challenges seemed too risky. So we declared this point the summit, celebrated our success, and headed back across the ridge to the South Peak to rejoin the members of the party waiting for us there.
A Long Way Home
After descending from the south peak, we still had a long way to go to get back to camp--and from Fourth of July Mine, it was uphill!.
A Last Rest Stop
The slog up to Arapaho Pass from Fourth of July Mine went slowly but steadily. Here we take a last rest stop before the final push into camp. The Arapaho Peaks and our route are in the background.
Lake Dorothy
After a good night's rest, we reluctantly left our beautiful campsite at Lake Dorothy and began our return to Junco Lake. On the way back we climbed Satanta Peak for a terrific view of the Indian Peaks Wilderness.
Ross Celebrates
Back at Stillwater, Ross celebrates a succesful climb.

The only way I can get in is through Joe's link in Mainstream, sub-20 5k thread. Once I got here I added to my Favorites on Explorer toolbar. I just click on it and get right in. Once I'm into 50 plus I never get tossed out.
I took yesterday off and it looks like I'm headed for a week in 30's. I'm feeling ok, and it doesn't look like I have any kind of syndrome like Rich had. It reminds me more of my first year back when I was always stiff when I got up, and had the mild soreness around groin area that didn't go away. I could run with it but never reached the level I did this year after all that went away. Except for an occasional day or 2, it seemed that I could recover from anything until I did this marathon.
Back in the late 80's there was a group of us local weekend warriors who trained under a coach by the name of Fred Moore. He's not a household name, but he coached some pretty good runners, including Lynn Nelson, who made the Olympic team at 10k. I heard him say once, "if there was only workout that a runner was allowed do I would want it to be hills." Those weren't exact words but something like that. We did lots of them. One in particlular was 1-4-1-4-1. The 1's were a long hill and the 4's were short ones. The hill we often used was on a road on the outskirts of Phoenix. There were telephone poles that served as markers for how far to go up for the 1's and 4's. I think that the long ones took a little more than 2 minutes and the short ones a little less than a minute. We also did miles on a measured road that that was on a mild grade. We'd go down, jog around for a minute or so, then come back up--2 times in each direction. Within a year of leaving the group I set all my still-standing PR's.
Tinman has been after me to do more hills, including very recently, but something always seems to come up after one or 2 workouts
usually a series of races. The hardest thing to practice for me is the downhills because they beat the legs up so much. It took months of running on grass before I finally got rid of that touch of PF I had and am afraid that it might come back. I had no feet problems at CIM, during or after, so maybe I could handle it now when I get back to feeling better. During races the dowhills are probably more important the the ups, but those uphills really help build speed and strength that helps you race faster on the flats as well as hills. Manit's scarey to think that I was a master way back then.
When I ran for Warren Street in NYC in the early 80s, we did a hill workout at least once every two weeks. If you're familiar with Central Park, we'd go up Cat Hill on the eastside. Either quarters, halves, or full miles. The hill itself is about a quarter.
Jim, great post and hope you are back and springy soon. I also think Daws made that comment about if you could do just one workout it would be hills. Speaking of which, I asked Bill Rodgers this question last year: "It has been said that your four Boston wins were attributed to your strength as a great downhill runner. Can you comment on that and about training on hills in general." What was interesting was that his response addressed just about every aspect of marathon training except hills, although his answer was interesting. He tends to stray from the point a bit when he talks, as you all may have noticed.
30 minutes elliptical today, that's it.
Where's Fred? Spareribs
Joe; I've only been to NY once and I wasn't a runner then. I've read enough about Central Park to know that it has some good spots for running with plenty of hills. Anything over a couple minutes going uphill is a tough workout if the hill is steep at all. Miles are killers.
Ribs; I've never talked to BR but saw him fly past me on the Canal Banks one year in Phoenix. I also saw him at Runner's Den 10k when he finished 2nd to Thom Hunt with a 29 something. I think it was '80 or '81. Yes, I'd give anything to be able to run downhills even half as good as him. Going downhill is easily one of the weakest parts of my running. There were some posts on letsrun.com once where some were saying that he smoked weed, even when he was running his best. I don't know how true it is, but your comment about the wandering conversation made me think of it.
I don't know if this forum will survive. As has been said already, most of them are at RunningAhead and there are some at KickRunners. People don't like to change if they are happy where they are at, and those sites are both pretty nice I stll believe that they will get it together here, but by then it might be too late. It will take an influx of new blood to get the numbers back up. I don't mind jumping around--it's not like I have to run or get in my car and drive. How tough is it to click the mouse button and learn a new password?
Anyway, I plan to keep checking in here as long as 50 plus is alive.
My vote we be not to start another 50 plus thread somewhere else unless Fred really decides to abandon it. I would hope he continues to post but whenever he's gone for more then a couple days I wonder if the last "run until you puke" was the one that put him down. Now it looks like we also have right hooks and uppercuts to worry about.
Come on Fred. Less than 2 months before the big Six Oh.
Much as I've been posting and much as I've been of the view that loyalty is worth retaining, I see that people are having technical problems with this site. I posted something in the suggestion box, and no response was forthcoming. I'm going to plug away here for a while longer, but notwithstanding my hope that we could keep it going, it's obviously on life support. I've moved my log to RunningAhead (at least as much as I had saved in June). I'll decide in the next day or so whether I will leave.

Hi Jim. My back won't take any boxing. I'll probably stay here because I like the people posting here.
AM 35 minutes @ sub 7, mile @ VO2Max ( rolling through the last two 60's in 11.24, 11.01 )
20 minutes slower than 9
AM 8 slow miles
5 minute warmup, 40 minutes rolling through every 60 @ sub 15 (11 in the 13's )
10 minute jog, 10 minutes rolling through the 60's @ sub 15, last 300 @ arounf 5:10
mile pace.
Sore plantar fascia after that one.
My next gains in speed will come from functional integrated strength training:
HI Fred. Good to see you are still out there doing it.
Getting ready to go out for mine. Will check back in later.
Jim - have a good run
Fred - I think we're all waiting for you to say let's move. I think we're all about ready; just waiting for your word. Engage
17 miles yesterday. 1st 6 easy @ 8:20 avg. Last 11 brought avg down to 7:45 oa. 2 miles in the middle sub 7's. HR never over 140. Today 8 miles in 7:48's. 2 weeks and I'll be in Orlando. Only have 9 and 13 mile run left of any consequence.
There was a link from LetsRun to some stuff on TnFNorth, which is a Canadian site. The link concerned running weight, and has comments from Daniels (JTupper) and Nobby (Nobuya Hashizume, prime keeper of the Lydiard flame who posts frequently on CoolRunning threads and is mentioned in the Runner's World Hill article I linked to earlier).
Thanks Joe. I always had trouble with the weight except when I doing 140 mile weeks.
At 60 miles a week it's difficult to stay light, and yet eat the right amount of food to maximize the
next day's workout. If I don't eat enough I have a poor workout.
Interesting that Daniel's example shows how weight loss can make the difference
between a 5k in 17 and a 5k in 15.

The HK guru at the U said that all elite athletes periodize and do functional weight training.
Tiger Wood's drive comes from his weight program.
The VO2 max formula has kilograms of weight as the denominator. Can't be more obvious than that. Want to raise your VO2 max? Lose weight.
Now this site is giving me all sorts of problems. Opened my email today on yahoo and found a jillion emails from Jim and from Joe, which of course were just notifications that they had posted here. First time that has happened. So I just shut that off. They must be doing something with the site. I have to log on through Active, then I can't find the pathway to get here. If I click on the saved url in my list of favorites, I get here, but I am no longer logged in. One trick I did today is to log in under Active, go find one of my recent threads I started, click on it to open it, then in the pathway above, click on B&B. It is so weird.
A 45 minute brisk walk today on dirt. Will walk again tomorrow. My reasoning is that walking is good for the body and there is no impact, so I might as well go back to doing that. There is no boredom for me in walking.
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.

Sidewalks.....a pain in the butt.....right ? Maybe not.
January 3, 2011
One of the most difficult areas snow contractors have to deal with is "sidewalks". Most contractors shy away from this kind of work. And, with good reason. Too often we experience labor issues associated with getting guys to get out in the elements and battle the snow first hand. It's much different than from the warm cab of a truck or loader or skidsteer. It's cold. It's nasty. It's generally a thankless job that must be done without benefit of mechanical devices that would make the job easier. Or - better stated - the mechanical devices that ARE used in sidewalk snow clearing are sometimes not designed for the activity. Skid steers work well, but are severely limited in some instances. They don't work real well in light snowfalls, and require some rather expensive attachments in order to make them efficient. They are heavy and transporting them can be problematic, especially during monster snowfalls.
In my opinion the most productive piece of sidewalk snow clearing equipment is the Trackless. A very close second would be a Holder. Unfortunately, these units cost upwards of $125,000.00 to $175,000.00 each. WOW !!! For a snow contractor - that's just not feasible. You can buy these units "used", but even then the dollars can be exorbitant given the snow contractors allocated equipment budget. For a municipality or an airport - it's a whole lot easier to cost justify the expenditure.
I've spent some time researching alternatives - and I've found something considerably more affordable, easy to use (actually, you might classify it as "fun" to operate), will replace at least a dozen laborers (possibly more) and has some versatility outside the snow arena. Ventrac makes a unit that is ideally qualified to do lots of sidewalk work, never gets tired and is easy to operate. When I first saw one operate - the thing that ran through my mind was "this is a small Trackless unit". It is articulating, four wheel drive, cab enclosed (heated) and has attachments ideally suited for sidewalk work. The snowblower attachment cleans down to pavement. The power broom is just like a walk-behind broom (only MUCH faster). They even have a "V" blade for it. I watched this machine push 12" of snow 20 yards up a 20 degree incline and not slip once.......
Best thing about it - - It has a salt spreader on the rear, made just for this machine !!!! How many of you have tried to put a spreader on the back of a quad (or 4 wheeler), only to be disappointed in the performance (or the fact that the back end of the quad is wayyyyyy over-weight??). Not any more - not with this unit.
And all (including attachments) for 20% of the cost of a stripped down Trackless.......
I'm not often impressed with "toys". The equipment we use as snow contractors has evolved over the years - we now finally have reliability and durability - but sidewalks are still done "the old fashioned way", for the most part. "Innovation" is a word too often thrown around by people who are not innovators. THIS piece of equipment will likely redefine how medium to large snow contractors address sidewalk work.
And - the thing I'm most amazed about ??? This thing has been around for over 10 years. The Ventrac people have been hiding in small town in Ohio - about 2.5 hours away from Erie. I went there a few days ago and looked at the manufacturing facility. I got to play with the equipment. I saw how it's built. I like it. A LOT !!
Oh... by the way - you can put a mower deck on it too....but, I don't much care about that sort of thing. But, for some contractors - they could use it year round, if you're into that sort of thing.

It's All Down Hill From Here
You say, "Ski Lodge!" I say, "Australia!"
I am sure that when you are thinking of planning your next ski trip, the last place you'll be considering is Australia. Until today, I would have said the same. But recently discovering this Scandinavian inspired ski retreat, located in Falls Creek Victoria, AU; has me thinking I am ready to expand my options. It's called Fjall, pronounced Fey-all, and it's a perfect place for a winter getaway. See for yourself!

GPL can be a RAND. Do you mistrust GPL?
The error you are making is that you are assuming RAND is a license. It
is not. It is a set of conditions that ISO and ECMA and W3C and various
other bodies require licenses to satisfy before those licenses are
acceptable in their standards. If you are considering using any
particular technology covered by an ISO, ECMA, or other standards body
standard, you need to look at the particular license for that technology
if you want to know exactly what it allows and disallows.

Proposed Work
Experimental Design
NELE is a lithospheric-scale passive array experiment. Fifty stations of the USArray TA form the basic grid that is densified along 3 profiles and between TA grid points. We are proposing that 40 FA broadband stations will be used to form three profiles over a two-year deployment and an additional 10 FA broadband stations be moved to fill in the TA grid in six month intervals to increase the background spatial resolution in velocity structure from 70km to about 35km (below). NELE augments the planned USArray deployment of 50 sensors with an additional 80 sites. There will also be 31 network broadband stations available to add to the data set to give a grand total of 161 sites.
The NELE design is superimposed on this map of TA stations. Flex array experiment consists of 4 10-station, 6 month deployments (circles) and 40 BB stations arranged in 3 dense profiles (stars) – N1, N2, and N3.

NEW YORK -- Ryan Callahan scored twice, and the New York Rangers defeated the Colorado Avalanche 5-1 on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.
Brad Richards, Derick Brassard and Anton Stralman each had a goal, and Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves for the Rangers (31-23-3), who have won four straight for the first time this season.
Gabriel Landeskog scored for Colorado (36-15-5), while Semyon Varlamov stopped 37 of 42 shots.
The loss ended the Avalanche's four-game winning streak.
The Rangers, who hadn't played in four days, dictated the early pace against the Avalanche, who had won 2-1 in overtime on Monday against the New Jersey Devils. New York outshot Colorado 20-4 and outscored it 2-0 in the first period.
New York opened the scoring after Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson carried the puck deep into the offensive zone and fell along the half-wall. The turnover led to a 2-on-1 rush with Rangers forward Carl Hagelin carrying the puck alongside Callahan.
Hagelin made a cross-ice pass to the Rangers captain, sending Callahan in alone on Varlamov. Callahan beat the Russian goaltender on a backhand shot for his 10th of the season with 5:44 remaining in the period; he entered with three goals in his previous 28 games.
Callahan would benefit from another takeaway later in the period. Colorado's Nate Guenin's cross-ice pass in his zone was intercepted by Brad Richards, who carried the puck toward the net before finding Callahan alone in the slot. Callahan scored on Varlamov's glove side with a wrist shot that gave New York a 2-0 lead with 2:25 left.
Lundqvist made one of his finest stops of the night with 13:30 remaining in the second period while Dan Girardi served two minutes for holding. The goalie snared Nathan MacKinnon's wrist shot from the left circle with his glove. Landeskog would reply seven seconds later, taking MacKinnon's pass in the slot before beating Lundqvist for his 17th of the season at 6:37 to cut the Rangers' lead to one goal.
The 2-1 score didn't last long as Stralman gave New York a 3-1 lead 53 seconds later. The defenseman's wrist shot from the point beat Varlamov to the blocker side for his first goal since April 19.
Lundqvist's best stretch came late in the period when Colorado had a 5-on-3 power play for 1:50 after Girardi was called for high-sticking shortly after Chris Kreider was whistled for holding. The Swedish Olympian made two quick stops on MacKinnon from the left side before stoning Landeskog at the lip of the crease. Lundqvist then stopped Duchene in close shortly after Girardi finished serving his minor to keep the Rangers up by two.
With New York leading 3-1 in the third period, Brassard scored at 1:58 following a blind pass from behind the Colorado net by Mats Zuccarello. Brassard partially fanned on the shot, but the puck bounced off Ryan O'Reilly's skate and past Varlamov for his 10th goal of the season.
Richards finished the scoring with his 15th tally of the year with 1:36 remaining.
Colorado continues its four-game, Metropolitan Division road trip Thursday in Philadelphia before playing the New York Islanders in its final game before the Olympic Break.

Over 7,200 advocates have signed our petition and more than 200 have submitted photos (take a peek)! Researchers, survivors, caregivers and many more stepped forward to show our nation's lawmakers the faces of medical research and deliver the message: 'We need cures, not cuts!".
So, what's next?! On September 18th, the American Heart Association will join partners in the medical research community for the Rally for Medical Research Hill Day in Washington, D.C. 30 You're the Cure advocates will meet face-to-face with lawmakers to share their stories and deliver the names and pictures of their fellow advocates who support funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). One of those advocates will be Ginny Ekins from Washington State. As a heart disease survivor, who has undergone multiple surgeries, Ginny knows first-hand that research saves lives.
Thank you for participating in this important petition and stay tuned for more updates from this event on our Facebook and Twitter feeds!
Great job, I agree, thank you and the AHA/ASA.
Yes congress,we more more funding for heart and vascular research. We need the cure. Thank you AHA/ASA ( this will help everyone especially our children).

Ok so its been said that the story about Moses being placed in a basket and put in a river where he just happened to get picked up by a member of the royal house explaining how he got to be where he was in fact is a plagiarism of an older text about Sargon of Akkad. Well that said, the story a bout Karna, son of Surya and Kunti also seems to be the same tale. Is this the earliest occurrence? The story of Kunti and Surya seems to be the source of the new testament annunciation story as well.
"Divine birth
Karna's father was the solar deity Surya and his mother's name was Kunti. Karna was born before his mother's marriage to prince Pandu. The story of Karna's miraculous birth is this:
When Kunti was a young woman, a wise though irascible old man, the sage Durvasa, visited her father's palace, where Kunti served him with utmost care for an entire year. Pleased by her service and hospitality, the sage foresaw that Kunti would have difficulty having a child after her marriage to Pandu, and granted her a boon to overcome this difficulty. By this boon she could call upon any god of her choice, and receive a child through him. Out of curiosity, Kunti still being unmarried, she decided to test the power of the mantra and called upon the god Surya. Compelled by the power of this mantra, Surya appeared before her and handed her a son, who was as radiant and powerful as Surya himself. The baby was wearing armour ('Kavacha') and a pair of earrings ('Kundala'). Though Kunti had not physically given birth to the baby, she was unwilling to be accused of being an unmarried mother and so with the help of her maid Dhatri, she placed the baby Karna in a basket and set him afloat on 'Ashwa' a tributary of the holy river Ganges, the Ashwanadi, in the hope that he would be taken in by another family."
"Exodus was compiled over a period of centuries, before it reached a more or less identifiable form, and was then redacted into substantially the form we know today. So, the answer to this question depends on the level of the book's evolution at which you would finally consider it to be 'Exodus'. Arguably, that would be somewhere around 500 to 600 BCE. " wiki.answers.com/Q/When_and_by… So it seems clear the Karna Story is older. but Sargon is way back there. Sargon survives as a legendary figure into the Neo-Assyrian literature of the Early Iron Age. A Neo-Assyrian text from the 7th century BC purporting to be Sargon's autobiography asserts that the great king was the illegitimate son of a priestess. In the Neo-Assyrian account Sargon's birth and his early childhood are described thus:
" My mother was a high priestess, my father I knew not. The brothers of my father loved the hills. My city is Azupiranu, which is situated on the banks of the Euphrates. My high priestess mother conceived me, in secret she bore me. She set me in a basket of rushes, with bitumen she sealed my lid. She cast me into the river which rose over me. The river bore me up and carried me to Akki, the drawer of water. Akki, the drawer of water, took me as his son and reared me. Akki, the drawer of water, appointed me as his gardener. While I was a gardener, Ishtar granted me her love, and for four and ... years I exercised kingship.[39] "
The Book of Exodus of the Hebrew Bible was composed or redacted around the 6th century BC and was influenced by Neo-Assyrian legend. In particular, the image of Sargon as a castaway set adrift on a river resembles the better-known birth narrative of Moses. But the account of Exodus turns the theme on its head rather than a royal fostered by commoners before rediscovering his royal blood, Moses is the son of slaves who is fostered by the daughter of Pharaoh.[40] Scholars such as Joseph Campbell and Otto Rank have also compared the 7th century BC Sargon account with the obscure births of other heroic figures from history and mythology, including Karna.[41] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sargon_o… So is it possible the story of Sargon is the source of the Moses and the Karna Myths?

HardwareHeaven Photoshop V3 Benchmark (64-bit)
http://www.augmensys.com/?essays-for-sale-one-page Essays For Sale One Page Most people are tired of running 3dmark and Pcmark and similar benchmarks, while these are visually attractive benchmarks they are not in many cases indicative of real world situations, this is not the case with Photoshop. This is a real world application with a myriad of uses appealing to all users from digital photographers to budding graphic designers. It is also a wonderful test of all round system performance, specifically memory bandwidth and CPU processing power. For full information and links to download this bench for yourself and to compare scores with other HardwareHeaven members, head over here – Photoshop Benchmark.
We have been performing real world testing with Photoshop for a number of years now and throughout that time we have seen Intel processors outperform the equivalent AMD part. That continues to be the case with these two models as the software does not yet take advantage of the additional cores present on the Phenom but AMD are closing the gap all the time with their clock speed increases.
