It turns out my run with the new shoes was a bit overzealous. I'm effectively couched for this whole weekend, nursing my ankles.
After the run I felt great, and thought the shoes were going to be perfect. I can't be sure if it's simply the distance or the shoes themselves, but whatever it was, I felt it later that day. After remaining seated for a few hours after the run working on things for class, I went to use the stairs in my apartment building on my way to campus. I felt a sharp pain in my right ankle when I put my bodyweight on it, and I retracted instantly. I tried again, same result. I promptly scheduled an appointment with an orthopedist to have my ankles checked out. I spent my evening seething at myself, fearing a stress fracture and the possibility that a doctor would tell me I couldn't participate in the events. You might imagine the anxiety I felt having been training for months only to have possibly put myself in a position of not being able to achieve my goal.
The next day the doctor informed me that he would "bet [his] house" that it wasn't a stress fracture, which was reasonably reassuring. He sent me home with some more ibuprofen and instructed me to stay off them, ice on 30 minutes, off 1 hour, and to try a run again on Monday with my old shoes. Until then I'm sedentary. Hopefully my training will pick up again soon, otherwise this blog will become decidely purposeless.
Some changes are being made in my preparation.
Firstly I've begun consulting a professional for advice on my running technique and training tips for Goruck. Hi Sarah! I'm confident that this will greatly reduce my risk of injury and most importantly keep my head in the game during the run. Technique is a big focus for me as well, but as my trainer pointed out, with the weight I'll be carrying I won't be able to worry too much if at all about maintaining perfect form.
I buckled, finally, and got another pair of shoes to be used in training and for the event itself. They are New Balance 890s and I knew I wanted them the moment I took them for a jog outside the store. The fact that they are neutral will help me develop my own sense of my form and not over-influence me in one direction. The weight of the shoe makes a huge difference as well. I was used to trudging along in my RocLites by inov8 which weigh in at 312 grams, or about 11 ounces. The 890s are 9.7 ounces which doesn't seem like a big difference, but it's definitely noticeable. The New Balance website does a good job of illustrating the difference a few ounces can make in the long run--pun very much intended. So my old RocLites will be set aside for trail running and my 890s take the forefront. The only thing left to do is see how they perform in the rain and submersion to judge water-retention, and then to finally break them in after another 15 miles or so.
Speaking of mileage, here are the data from today's run:
My heart rate was generally under control and I felt light and strong for the majority of the run. I wasn't experiencing cardiovascular exhaustion by the end of the run, my desire to stop came mostly from muscle soreness. I did buy a foam roller from the running store as well, so I'll be using that often.
Tomorrow will be a light calisthenic/recovery day then I expect I'll do a light run (4-5 miles) on Friday. My trainer suggested I do 4-5 mile runs on Monday and Friday, and a longer run on Wednesday (6-7 miles) and then progressively increase the Wednesday mileage to a point while keeping the Monday/Friday distance the same. I'm still planning on a weighted run on the weekend, but I might substitute that for some weighted lunges around the block since that seems to be particularly important.
Technique, technique, technique. I'm focused on improving my running form now, specifically in minimizing my tendency to heel-strike. I've been reading articles, watching videos with slow-motion analyses of the form, and just generally learning what I can about the theory.
I resolved to tailor my run today into something hinging on proper form instead of brute distance or weight. I went out with my hydration pack and my Vibram TrekSports so I felt light. I've run with my Five Fingers before, but never at quite the distance I did today; my previous bouts were short-distance (~1 mile) on the indoor track at school.
Here are the data from the run:
Lap 1 was the first half of the run, Lap 2 my trip back, and Lap 3 was my walking and stretching after the run. I maintained what I believe to be proper form for about 3/4 of the run, but ended up finishing the route still running, but with poorer form.
As I said, distance wasn't my main focus here, and I did stop occasionally - as you can see from the spikes in Pace - to stretch or get a feel for how my calves were holding up. This particular muscle group troubles me as I am running this way. I consciously critique and adjust my form as I run, trying with each step to land on the ideal and seemingly imaginary "midfoot" and roll into the toes. This seems to put undue strain on my calves. This might just be a result of my muscles not being used to this kind of movement.
In addition to the foot placement I am also meant to make a pedaling movement with my legs as if on a bike while bringing my heels up to my backside after each stride. It's a complicated motion and I found myself thinking while I was running: "I wish my track coach had done some work with the team to establish proper running form". Admittedly, as I was a pole-vaulter, I didn't do much running then and the running I did was all toe-striking long fast strides anyway. Still, I think any athlete whose sport involves running would benefit enormously from developing proper running form early on.
I'm looking into a Personal Trainer who might help me to correct my form. Strength training is still taking the back seat, and might have to remain there until after Goruck. The coming weeks will see TrekSport runs focusing on form, long unweighted runs focusing on endurance and distance, and long weighted runs focusing on mental grit and stamina.
Event Countdown
Tough Mudder PA: 21 days
Goruck: 41 days
Tough Mudder VT: 49 days
As I mentioned in my previous entry, I've been taking cues from Ben O'Grady and incorporating a lot more running into my weekly routine. My strength training is almost nonexistent at this point, but it's entirely justified considering my current running ability and the intensity of the event for which I am preparing.
I have a bunch of data to share, and I'm pretty proud of my progress.
I've been going out for longer un-weighted runs simply to get a feel for the distance and I think it's paying off. Here is my run from this past Monday:
These data represent a run from my apartment to Jamaica Pond. I scouted the run on Google Maps before heading down there, and just made my way out. I didn't take exactly the route I planned in arriving to the Pond, but did eventually make it there. I felt light and strong for most of the run, and was just enjoying the exploration aspect of a new path. The Pond itself is about 2.6 miles from my apartment, and then about 1.5 miles around. I ran around the Pond, then made my way back up to my starting point with no walking breaks. I maintained a reasonably consistent pace with the exception of a few hiccups. 6.48 miles was also a distance record for me at the time, and I was quite happy about that.
Wednesday I went out and forged a new path north of my apartment, crossing the Charles. Here are the data from that run:
New distance record again! Almost seven miles now. This particular run felt more like an adventure than a workout. Rain was coming down hard that morning, and I was running muddy cracked-gravel paths along the banks of the Charles. I got a little turned around after finally finding a place to turn back towards my apartment, but my Forerunner has a Navigation feature that showed me an overhead view of my position relative to my starting point which helped me orient myself. From there it was simple to get home. No walking breaks this time, either. I do so enjoy running in the rain. My heart rate was significantly more controlled during this run, which is curious because I didn't feel particularly stable throughout. I ended feeling wiped out, but very accomplished.
And, finally, the data from this morning's run. Following Ben's advice I forewent my weight vest in favor of running with the weight in a backpack as we'll actually be doing in the challenge. Seems logical. I couldn't have known just how radically different it is.
Firstly, I was carrying more weight than the vest alone; the backpack itself containing the 20lb vest in addition to my hydration bladder in its own pack. I'd say I was carrying around 25 lbs.
As Ben mentioned, the weight sits completely differently on your body. Running with a vest - as it's evenly distributed weight over your torso and allows you to activate your spine in keeping a turning rhythm - feels easy compared to this. The backpack is not only heavy on the shoulders and compressing your back, but severely restricts movement of your torso when running. In addition to the restriction of movement the weight is concentrated behind you, rendering heelstriking a significantly more detrimental practice.
My backpack isn't built for this kind of use, either, so I was consistently adjusting straps and fiddling with zippers and the hydration tube while running. Not fun. My freaking iPod headphone cord was unruly, too, and wouldn't stay attached to my hip so I had to feel it tugging on my ears with every step. This latter concern, however, was easy enough to ignore considering the circumstances.
Here are the data from this morning's weighted pack run:
It was a spirit-crusher, but I survived. The mental game was intense and likely responsible for the majority of my inconsistency and the relatively short distance of the run. I'll be doing much more of this in the future.
I felt what I consider to be legitimate and unadulterated doubt in my ability to succeed at Goruck as a result of this run; hence "spirit-crusher". I need more of this, if only to prove to myself that I can get stronger and dismantle that ego barrier. Something that stands out is my outrageously high heart rate, especially during the middle portion of the run. My Forerunner was going crazy, warning me to chill out, and at the time I was not entirely resistant to the idea of slowing my pace. I did some walking during this run, but I never stopped. The peak around 23', and again at 35' represent walking or waiting at a traffic light. The huge plateau in my pace at the end is a period of time after I had finished running and was talking to a friend on the sidewalk as I was going back to my apartment.
I'm going to do A LOT more of this. Maybe 2 or 3 times a week, saving a long distance un-weighted run for the weekend. I think flipping the current setup would be the best way for me to get used to this style of running in a short time. I believe it's also worth noting that this was a solo run; I feel like had I been running with Pete or someone else who was also wearing a weighted pack it would have been much easier to persevere. Hopefully I'll get some of that in the next week or so.
I'm cautiously optimistic, but still very motivated.
I was planning on doing my normal routine to the gym on the 23rd, but I ended up just running instead. It was a great feeling to abandon my plan and run for so long. I think it's a distance record for me. I know I have a lot of improving to do in my distance running, but this run felt awesome, and by no means was I at the point of exhaustion when I finished. Here are the data from the Forerunner:
The path was interesting, too, because I found another small pond below the reservoir. I ran down and around it, then I made my way back uphill to the reservoir and ran around that as well. Something that stands out is my very consistent pace, with the exception of a few stalls. I'm not entirely sure what they are, except for the spike around 40' where I think I was adjusting my iPod. Overall I think this is a great pace and I'll strive to maintain it.
I've resolved to change my weekly schedule and incorportate a lot more running at the expense of the strength training. The lifting routines have been going much better lately, and I'm getting a lot stronger, but I think I would do well to prepare for more intense, longer runs.
I'll likely run Monday, Wednesday and Friday with strength training on Tuesday and Thursday, then a long weighted buddy run on the weekend with one day of rest. I'll also be changing my runs from weighted with the vest to weighted with a backpack at the suggestion of someone who had previously completed the Goruck Challenge (See Ben O'Grady's Review).
Peter and I had an interesting romp through this park on Saturday. I went weighted with the vest at 20lbs and Peter ran with his belt, although I'm not sure how much weight he used. Pete suggested we meet at a place called the Odiorne Point State Park. I arrived after fiddling with a recalcitrant GPS, we saddled up, and went out into the unknown "trails" of the park. Here's a satellite image of the path courtesy of my Forerunner's data and Google Earth.
There weren't really trails out there, but we did a lot of running on the beach, jumping from rocks, and in the deep snow. We would randomly stop and pick up heavy driftwood or rocks and carry them for a while. At two different points we carried heavy logs switching shoulders and holding it up above our heads. We picked paths somewhat at random which led to some turning around but also allowed us to discover some cool opportunities to do PT in the woods.
It was a great run for me overall. I felt strong and solid. Pete was having trouble with the constant stress on the ankles from the sand, rock and snow running.
Here's the basic data from the run. It was not feasible to keep a steady pace during the run, but we did very little walking.

It's a routine that's getting old for David Anderson. Sitting in a chair for hours on end is not how he'd prefer to spend his days.
"It's about five hours a day of coming and going, really, three times a week," said David Anderson.
David suffers from kidney failure and needs dialysis to survive. It's a process that cleans out blood but takes its toll on patients.
"It's uncomfortable to sit here for such a long time," said (:08) David Anderson.
The therapy only replaces about 10 percent of kidney function. After five years, just 35 percent of patients are still alive.
"It's actually really sad. I have a lot of patients. I think all nephrologists have a lot of patients that die regularly," said Lynda Frassetto, M.D., Nephrologist Professor of Medicine UCSF San Francisco, CA .
A kidney transplant is a better option. The problem? Last year, only 17-thousand of the 85-thousand patients on the waiting list received an organ.
An artificial kidney could soon be a solution. Researchers at UC San Francisco hope to implant the device right in the body. Thousands of microscopic filters mimic the filtering role of a real kidney. One side filters out toxins while the other re-absorbs salt and water and emits waste. The body's own blood pressure performs the filtration without the need for a power supply.
"Because it's implanted and provides many of the same benefits of a transplant, the patient quality of life, the patient health, will be improved," said Shuvo Roy, Ph.D., Bioengineer Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences UCSF San Francisco, CA.
The surgery will cost the same as a kidney transplant, but this device is designed to completely eliminate the 75-thousand per year spent on dialysis for each patient. A room-sized model of the artificial kidney has been used for over a decade. Now, engineers are trying to fit that into a device the size of a coffee cup. '
"I'd sign up now if I could," said Anderson.
Until then, he'll wait, hoping medicine will soon get him out of his chair and onto more exciting adventures.

Head coach Jane Albright completes staff with the hiring of Carla McGhee
Aug. 8, 2012
RENO, Nev. -
The Nevada women's basketball team has hired Olympic gold medalist and two-time national champion Carla McGhee to serve as the team's director of basketball operations, head coach Jane Albright announced today.
McGhee, who had a Hall of Fame career at Tennessee before playing five seasons in the WNBA, will assist with team travel, coordinating camps and academics and manage other operational duties for the Wolf Pack.
"I am elated to add Carla to our staff," Albright said. "She brings a wealth of competitive experience and success at all levels of the game to our program. Her enthusiasm, personality, and work ethic will be an invaluable addition to our university."
McGhee brings an impressive basketball résumé to Nevada. She has spent the last four seasons as an assistant coach in the SEC, the last two at Auburn and previously at South Carolina. She also has experience as a consultant and player personnel director with the WNBA, in addition to her playing career in the league from 1998-2003. She also spent two seasons as a sideline reporter for ESPN in addition to previous coaching spots at Temple and Auburn.
"I am excited to join such a top caliber and competitive university that embraces developing future leaders on and off the court," McGhee said. " It's an amazing time to be at the University of Nevada. There's a buzz of excitement on campus and in the community with the recent move to the Mountain West. I look forward to the new memories I will make as a member of the Wolf Pack."
Her professional career was preceded by a standout career at Tennessee for legendary coach Pat Summit. While with the Lady Vols from 1986-90, McGhee and the team collected national championships in 1987 and 1989. McGhee was inducted into the Lady Vol Hall of Fame as a member of the class of 2007.
Altogether, McGhee has more than eight years of experience as a collegiate coach and WNBA administrator, along with her 13-year professional career as a player that includes a gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.
McGhee then played professionally for teams in Germany, France, Turkey, South Korea, Spain, Italy and Greece for six years. With the start of professional leagues in the United States, she earned a spot on the Atlanta Glory of the ABL where she played from 1996 to 1998. From there, she went on to spend five years with the WNBA's Orlando Miracle.
McGhee's playing experience includes a lengthy stint in the USA Basketball organization, beginning with the 1987 Sports Festival. She went on to participate in the 1993 World Qualifying, 1994 World Championship and Goodwill Games, the 1995 Pan American Games and the 1996 Olympics. McGhee got her coaching start at Temple during the 2003-04 season when she helped the Owls to an Atlantic 10 Tournament championship and an NCAA Tournament appearance. She played an integral role in developing Candace Dupree into a first round pick in the 2006 WNBA Draft, the first such selection in Temple's history.

SEBRING — At the push of a button day or night, out-of-state intensive care physicians and critical care nurses are notified to monitor and view patients in the intensive care units at the Sebring and Lake Placid Florida Hospital Medical Center locations.
The Telemedicine-ICU services have been in operation since June.
Florida Hospital Heartland Medical Center President and CEO Eric Stevens explained Friday that when someone is ill in the ICU, they have a "great medical team" locally taking care of them, but there is always a group of physicians on "over watch" who are seeing all the patients' medical data.
The Tele-ICU physicians control a high-definition camera that can zoom in to show the "quality" of the patient's skin and can see their pupils, he said. They can talk with family and staff members.
Stevens noted the area doesn't have the depth and breadth of intensive care physicians, who are located in metropolitan areas such as Tampa or Orlando. About 4,000 people leave Highlands and Hardee counties every year for health care services.
Florida Hospital studied what medical services should stay close to home so family members can be near their loved ones, he said. With Tele-ICU services, "we have done something we can sustain from a cost perspective and we have great access into this great system of care. This is a big deal for us."
Florida Hospital Sebring and Lake Placid are the first hospitals within 200 miles, and the first within Adventist Health Systems, to partner with Advanced ICU Care in implementing a Tele-ICU, according to Florida Hospital.
Advanced ICU co-founder and Vice President Isabelle Kopec said with their critical care team, "We can intervene and treat the patients as they need to be treated in a very timely manner."
Advanced ICU Care has learned how to get better outcomes in the ICU and get the patients home sooner and in better condition, she said.
"What we have learned over the years is the involvement of a specially trained physician ... has a large impact," Kopec said. "And, the technology that we are rolling out here enables us to do that.
"When I started my career in critical care medicine many years ago, I never imagined that I would be able to save lives and impact lives hundreds of miles away."
Florida Hospital provided a demonstration of the system from an ICU room.
Soon after a push of a green button on the wall, intensive care doctor Dellice Dickhaus and a nurse manager communicated by audio and video with those in the ICU room. Dickhaus and the nurse were monitoring the room from the Advanced ICU Care center in St. Louis, Missouri.
Dickhaus explained that she can monitor a patient's vital signs, medications, lab results and clinical status.
The two-way video access in each patient's room enables face-to-face consultations between the bedside and Advanced ICU Care medical teams during periods of evaluation and when called on by the caregiver, according to Florida Hospital.
Stevens said there will be no additional cost to the patients.
The telemedicine equipment cost about $250,000, or about $10,000 per room, to install in the 12 ICU rooms in Sebring and 10 ICU rooms in Lake Placid. The continuing cost is $600 for the duration of the stay for each ICU patient.
According to a December Forbes report tele-health is about to experience explosive growth.
RNCOS Business Consultancy Services released a report predicting an 18.5 percent annual growth in tele-health worldwide through 2018, Forbes reported. An analyst at another market research firm, IHS, predicted the U.S. tele-health market will grow to $1.9 billion in 2018 from $240 million today, an annual growth rate of 56 percent.

Xcel tries to recoup billions in nuclear investments
Xcel Energy has asked the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission to approve an increase in base electricity rates in order to preserve and expand operations of its nuclear plants and electricity grid.
Xcel says it has been investing more than $1 billion a year to meet these goals. The value of the company's request equals $285 million, including around $40 million in higher property taxes for customers. Driving these investments have been the continued operation of the Monticello and Prairie Island nuclear plants and upgrades to the 50-plus year old transmission and distribution system.
The request represents a 10.7 percent increase in customer rates overall. As part of the filing, Xcel Energy seeks implementation of interim rates effective Jan. 1. Under the interim rate proposal, a typical residential customer's monthly bill would increase by approximately 10 percent, or about $8.
If approved, final rates would be effective in the first quarter of 2014.

The two proposals that made it to the next iteration are SIP-23: Literal-based singleton types (reviewer: Adriaan Moors) and SIP-27: Trailing Commas (reviewer: Eugene Burmako). The reviewers and committee members provided more feedback to iterate on. Both proposals already have provisional implementations and will continue to be discussed for inclusion in the language.
Overall, we're happy to report these results and see Scala continue to move forward! We're excited to see the Scala community speaking up and collaborating with the process—your vibrant responses will greatly enrich our future deliberations.
Next month, we'll discuss five more proposals, including SIP-21: Spores and SIP-24: Repeated by-name parameters. We hope to finish off the list of old proposals in the queue and focus ourselves on the most recent proposals and the ones that are to come!
Did you know that each month, we conduct these SIP meetings on-air? You can tune in and ask questions to the SIP committee, and have them answered live. Videos of the meetings are then archived on YouTube. Check the minutes of this meeting in the SIP website.

Actually I do have a patch around that logs the timeout on the console
after the normal timeout (5secs), then just goes on to wait for double
the timeout and log again etc etc, final timeout was IIRC 60 secs but
could be anything.

A Must Read - Share
Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz said he has been able to overcome his typical early struggles thanks in part to his participation with the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic last month. Cruz, who failed to hit above .250 during the month of April in each of the past two seasons, leads Texas in home runs (5) and RBI (19) while carrying a solid .309 batting average.
"You're playing in a playoff game in every game," Cruz told The Dallas Morning News of the World Baseball Classic, which the Dominican won for the first time. "It helps you get your mind right and your body right

best thing to do is find a jessops, they are 'proper' camera geeks and in my experience do not just try and seel you the highest proce camera for the sake of it.
When you go it, have in mind what you want the camera to do, when you think you'll use it etc, here's some of the questions they'll probably ask you:-
How much do you want to spend
What sort of pics do you want to take
Do you want to be able to take video
Do you want to carry in handbag or carry around a large camera
What will you do with the pics (ie, print them off, put them on facebook etc)
What sort of memory do you want (do you want to be able to take hundreds of photos and loads of video without downloading every day, or do you want to just take the occassional snap that you can quick upload to facebook)
If you have answers to all of these, they will easily be able to recommend a model around it

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Obesity and Pregnancy
Topic Overview
How much can you eat during pregnancy?
How much you can eat depends on:
- How much you weigh when you get pregnant.
- Your body mass index (BMI).
- How much you exercise.
Like any pregnant woman, you need to eat a variety of foods from all the food groups. You especially need to make sure to get enough calcium and folic acid.
You may want to work with a dietitian to help you plan healthy meals to get the right amount of calories for you.
How will your prenatal care change if you're obese?
You will have the same number of doctor visits as a woman of average weight, unless you start to have problems. Then you would see your doctor more often. But you'll have the same type of tests to look for problems and make sure your baby is healthy.
What can you do to have a healthy pregnancy?
The best things you can do to have a healthy pregnancy are to eat a variety of foods, get regular exercise, avoid alcohol and smoking, and go to your doctor visits. If you didn't exercise much before you got pregnant, talk to your doctor about how you can slowly get more active.
For more information on healthy habits, see the topic Quick Tips: Healthy Pregnancy Habits.
For more information on eating well when you're pregnant, see:
- Healthy Eating: Changing Your Eating Habits.
- Healthy Eating: Making Healthy Choices When You Shop.
- Healthy Eating: Cutting Unhealthy Fats From Your Diet.
- Quick Tips: Adding Fruits and Vegetables to Your Diet.
- Meal Planning: Menu and Grocery List (What is a PDF document?) .
If you're not pregnant yet, what can you do to get ready for pregnancy?
If you're not yet pregnant, now is a good time to try to lose some weight. Losing even 5 or 10 pounds may help reduce your risk for problems.
You also can make other lifestyle changes to get a future pregnancy off to a good start. These include getting enough folic acid, avoiding alcohol and smoking, and avoiding or limiting caffeine. See your doctor for a checkup before you become pregnant.
For more information on getting ready for pregnancy, see the topic Preparing for a Healthy Pregnancy.
Some women may want to have weight-loss surgery. If you're thinking about it, talk with your doctor to learn how it might affect a future pregnancy. For more information, see the topic Pregnancy After Bariatric Surgery.

TFF 2010: 'Beware the Gonzo' Revisits the World of High School Newspapers
As an 11th grader at Kennedy High School in Bellmore, New York, writer/director Bryan Goluboff had a life-changing experience: he was kicked off the school newspaper and started his own rival paper. Though the event may seem minor to some, Goluboff says the incident — which resulted in him writing something vicious about his rival editor and driving her to tears — taught him the pitfalls of getting drunk on his own power. "I never got big-headed again," said Goluboff, who calls his hit-job article the "only real act of savagery" he's ever committed.
Goluboff, who writes for TV series like "In Treatment" and doctors film scripts, adapted the personal story for the big screen. The resulting film, "Beware the Gonzo," debuts today at the Tribeca Film Festival, with a cast that includes Ezra Miller as Goluboff's young alter ego and pop singer Jesse McCartney as a male version of Goluboff's arch nemesis. Amy Sedaris and Campbell Scott co-star as Gilman's parents, and Zoe Kravitz plays one of the misfits drawn to the budding newsman's underground paper.
Kravitz says she was drawn to first-time director Goluboff's script because it portrayed teenagers with realistic day-to-day struggles. "We've all seen bad teen movies before, but this film gave our characters multiple dimensions."
Goluboff, whose first screenplay was for 1995′s Jim Carroll biopic "The Basketball Diaries," says that he wrote the film during the winter of 2007/2008 and shot it over the course of 24 days in Brooklyn and Queens during the summer of 2009. Goluboff said "Gonzo" was a close-knit production; he's known his producer, Craig Cohen, since age eight (Cohen contributed as a music writer to Goluboff's infamous upstart school paper).
As for his high school editorial rival, Goluboff says that though he apologized at the time of the incident, he called her back after 20 years after the fact to apologize again. "When I asked her if she remembered who I was, she said, 'I'd know that voice anywhere,'" Goluboff says with a laugh. "She told me she still thought about the incident all the time as well, and wondered why she was so mean to me knowing I was sick." [Goluboff had mono the summer before 11th grade.] Not that the two will be conversing again anytime soon. "When I asked her if this meant we were now friends, she said no, because she hated then and still hated me now," says Goluboff. Time for sequel?

Welcome to Roadmaster Active Suspension
Welcome to the unique world of Roadmaster Active Suspension (RAS), the ultimate assist for vehicles with rear leaf spring suspension. RASis the only suspension upgrade that converts basic "passive" leaf springs into mechanically "active" suspension. A system that instantly absorbs and dissipates load force energy resulting in significantly improved vehicle stability, balance, traction and control, with or without a load. Roadmaster Active Suspension adds critical strength to leaf springs but WILL NOT compromise ride quality. The patented design eliminates bottoming out, axle wrap and wheel hop, greatly improves road handling by reducing sway and dangerous body roll on cornering, and strengthens the rear leaf springs for towing or hauling maximum loads with maximum safety. Vehicles and fleets that consistently operate under load benefit from improved fuel efficiency, vehicle safety and load carrying capacity as well as reduced driver fatigue and extended tire and suspension component life. RAS is a simple retrofit to most every pickup truck and van with rear leaf springs, with up to a 1 1/2 ton capacity, and once installed no adjustments or maintenance is ever required.

Caribbean Foods Glossary
A handful of islands grow ackee as an ornamental tree, but only Jamaica looks at it as a tree that bears edible fruit. The ackee fruit is bright red. When ripe it bursts open to reveal three large black seeds and bright yellow flesh that is popular as a breakfast food throughout Jamaica. Ackee's scientific name, blighia sapida, comes from Captain Bligh, who introduced the plant to Jamaica from West Africa. Ackee is poisonous if eaten before it is fully mature and because of its toxicity, it is subject to import restrictions and may be hard to obtain in some countries. Never open an ackee pod; it will open itself when it ceases to be deadly. Ackee is sold canned in West Indian markets.

Canada Stocks to Watch: Telus, Artek, BCE, Astral, Rocky Mountain, Pretium
By Judy McKinnon
Below are a few of the stocks we'll be keeping an eye on in today's trading session.
Telus said shareholders approved its share-conversion plan late Thursday and said none of the resolutions put forth by hedge-fund Mason Capital Management LLC were passed. It will seek court approval for the conversion in early November.
Artek Exploration said it plans to sell 3.5 million common shares at C$2.85 each and another 2.9 million flow-through shares at C$3.45 each, to raise a total of C$20 million.
Canada's broadcast regulator will issue a decision later Thursday on BCE proposed C$3 billion purchase of Astral Media Many of BCE's competitors have warned the regulator about approving the deal, arguing BCE could become too dominant in the Canadian market.
Rocky Mountain Dealerships said it has agreed to buy certain Case IH Agriculture dealership assets in northern Alberta for an undisclosed amount. The Houlder Automotive assets generate annual revenue of about C$20 million.
Pretium Resources said drill results from its Brucejack project in northern British Columbia continue to confirm the projection and continuity of high-grade gold, including additional intervals grading more than 1 kilogram-per-metric-ton of gold.

tmaster: You may have another plugin installed that is putting messy javascript into your entire admin, rather than just the areas needed. This is likely causing the error. Try disabling your other plugins to discover the culprit. More information on the error would be helpful as well - check out FireBug for Firefox which will give you more information on your JS errors. Cheers!
I have a similar issue with it not allowing additional fields for the invitation code, or the user defined fields.

Obviously the line number changes depending on which of the two fields I click - that was for the lower one.

As urban and suburban development push into our nature's spaces, the canopy of the forest shrinks to the shade of a single tree. Backlit by the local baseball field's bright summer lights, this lone tree shows off it's spectacular form reminding us of the strength, stateliness, and unselfish giving of trees.

By Edmonton Oilers Press Release
|Oilers rookies Jordan Eberle & Taylor Hall will join Ales Hemky at NHL All Star Weekend.
Hemsky, 27, has 24 points (9-15-24) in 27 games this season with the Oilers. The Pardubice, Czech Republic native will be making his first appearance in the All-Star game having been named to the 2003 NHL Young Stars Game but forced to miss the event due to an injury. In 470 career games, the 6'0, 185-pound forward has recorded 377 points (109-268-377).

Virtual Ride
DescriptionRustlers Ridge starts on the south side of the Thunderhead gondola. The trail gets rowdy immediately as you drop into a big exposed berm. From there the trail drops rapidly through more berms and a few rollers, giving you a feel for what kind of experience lies ahead.
From there, the route lets off the gas a bit with flowing trail and a few berms on shallower terrain, allowing for a few brief moments to look at the sweeping views of the Steamboat Valley.
The middle section of Rustlers goes through the 'toilet bowl', a giant sweeping turn through the aspens. There are also plenty of gravity features to help you get airborne. The trail intersects Valley View through here so be aware of cross traffic.
Just below this area Rustlers passes a junction with Rustlers Ridge Connector, a bail-out option to the top of Christie Peak.
The lower reaches of Rustlers start with some steep turns and sweeping bends that feed into a relentless series of deep berms and fast sections of trail. Your legs and arms will be burning as you roll to the end of the trail.
It's dealers choice at the end: Buckin' Bronc for the advanced and brave or E-Z Rider for a cruise into the base of the mountain.

Does MS affect your memory, both short and long term?
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
Most definitely! Mostly my short-term memory is affected. For example, if I watched a movie a couple of days ago, I am not able to remember what the movie was about or even its name. Sometimes I watch a movie I have already seen with no recognition. I easily get confused which affects memory.
I have a lot of cognitive issues, memory being an important one.READ MORE
Short term. So far that's been the #1 problem. My wife and son had been noticing for months that I wasn't remember conversations that we had. Since my final diagnosis of MS (primary-progressive), I've become the King of Post-it Notes and notebooks to write things down immediately to refer to later. That's helped.
No long-term problems yet.READ MORE
Yes, it absolutly affects my memory. I have been affected by MS very much. My memory function has decressed significantly in the last year, I noticed it getting bad before that , but this laast year has really gone down hill. No amount of list or planners in the world will help me, because, oh thats right, I FORGET to look at the list or the planner. It hurts me. I always had a sharpe memory. I remember my mom, or other memebrs of my family would say to me, "SHerry hwa tis, so and so telelphone number?" and I would just call it off like it was nothing. Now, forget it, I am lucky I remember my own number. SO yes MS seriuosly affects your memory capabilities.READ MORE
It sure does. It's worse when the fatigue is worse - they go hand in hand. But I've learned to use coping strategies - notes, reminders on my email calendar & my phone calendar and a calendar on the fridge. I use the alarm on my phone to help me remember appointments & stuff. I make a personalized calendar every year with everyone's birthdays & anniversarys on it - and the website I order it from even saves the info from year to year to make it even easier. The last two years, I've given these out (complete with photos I've taken throughout the year) for Christmas & they are a BIG hit! Everyone loves them and it's an easy way to manage Christmas shopping. One stop - delivered right to my door.READ MORE
MS affects my cognitive and short term memory, I am 41. I am a Medical Technologist and it is especially embarrassing and frustrating when I am trying to talk to a doctor/co-worker and I don't remember the words I want to say. Did I say, my short term memory sucks? My long term is just fine though!! Before I found out about my cognitive dysfunction, I thought I was going crazy. I was on copaxone for a few years, my body had gotten used to it, therefore not working anymore. They put me on Tysabri and did another MRI. I now have secondary progressive MS.
DonnaREAD MORE
My memory is most definitely affected. Some days are worse than others. I make a lot of lists. Mostly my short term memory seems to be affected.READ MORE
Definitely. Short term is worse than long term. I can't remember fifteen minutes ago but I can remember when I was a young girl. Exacerbations come and go and the memory gets worse and better at will. They have cut down my responsibilities at work - no one trusts me to remember anything properly. READ MORE
Yes. Definitely. It was hard dealing with it at first. The long term memory problems are not as acute as the short term. I take care of something and someone will ask me ten minutes later, did you take care of it and I have to seriously think about whether I did or not. Taking notes and writing everything down helps. READ MORE
I believe it definetly affects your memory both short and long term. there are games and exercises to help with this and I do them constantly.READ MORE
Yes, I too agree that MS affecs your memory. I am 46 and was dx with RR/MS in 2004. I am waiting to see my Neuro and I am hoping he will explain if the demylination that is evident on my my MRI scan is anything to do with cognitive problems.
My problem is short term memory. I know family have noticed it. I see it in their face's when I stumble with words...yet again...They don't mention anything though!!
AlisonREAD MORE
when i found out that ms could cause cognitive problems i was very happy. i really wasn't losing my mind. i forget from one moment to the next what i am doing and why. i forget the topic of conversation mid-sentence. my favorite cuss word sometimes triggers a memory-but not always. i figure if it was important it'll come up again. something else to laugh at. djax59READ MORE

I was just going to post a comment to the cognitive thread when I saw yours. I Immediately associated with your post. Seeing that it was what was in my head at the time and I better comment before I lost it. I have forgotten what I was going to lose; the comment I was going to write or the reply to you. So I'll go with a reply, I think. I do a lot of peer support here in Colorado Springs and will be on a real roll answering a question; right in the middle of it I say to myself what the **** am I talking about. My shot it takes at least 4 to 5 trips to get it, thank God for munchies so I don't fell foolish coming back from frig without shot. Then there is the 'been there before' thing like this message, seeming like I have written it to you before. I'm a 33+ year MS'er with the same humor streak as you. If you ever remember what memory that cuss word is flashing back to e-mail me so I can remember also.READ MORE
it is what ever i'm trying to remember--a lot of times just a word--it will come out--ba bla bla(i'm not any good at spelling sound effects) then a great big oh ****. sometimes that will do it--sometimes not--i just figure if it was imp. it'll come back to me---or not. i come back from the fridge--the other room--or wherever empty handed all the time--you are not alone. chin up-keep laughing--djax59READ MORE
Yes I do repeat myself and ask things more than once. Long term seems ok but it seems to be the short term that bothers me. I guess after having this since 1978 it has taken it's toll on that portion of my brain.
Right hand is somewhat slower than the left and the sensation of touch has given me issues since 1978 learned to adapt to the right hand. Balance is also an issue when you try to do the heel to toe walk. Yes I get mad at this stuff also, I try to keep on keeping onREAD MORE
Gee, I've had MS for 20 years or atleast was diagnosed with MS 20 years ago. I cant really say my memory, short or long term has been affected. Infact, I'm currently learning to speak and read Gaelic(cant write it, never will.) I am also learning astronomy and have figured out a better way to set my telescope up tht quicker and more accurate. I here these stories and don't understand. I also read on an MS site that learning a new skill helps to slow down and perhaps reduce these losses. From my experience, it works.

Baby Boomer Blues
Accompanying demodirt.com's recent story on the aging of American Baby Boomers, The Gray Tidal Wave, veteran financial commentator and publisher of The Grandich Letter, Peter Grandich contends that the next great crisis to hit America will not be the result of terrorism or environmental issues, but the aging of America. Grandich discusses the top three categories in which the tidal wave will hit.
The Economy
Of all the groups of people in the U.S. right now, the seniors are hurting the most. Why? Because there were always three absolutes they could count on that are no longer a sure thing:
First, is their ability to live off their investments. Baby Boomers were raised to believe that if they saved enough during their working years, when they retired they could live off the interest of their savings. Obviously, with interest rates on CDs at 3 percent or less, that's no longer true. To make matters worse, they "chased yield"—trying to make up some of their losses on riskier investments like real estate, which tanked even harder.
The second thing that has clobbered the Baby Boomers financially is the decline of their two most important investments: their stock portfolios and their homes. Everybody knows what happened there. Boomers planned on cashing in when they liquidated homes and stocks, which are now worth a fraction of just a few years ago…and they do not have the years to wait for a rebound.
Finally, they always knew that no matter what, they'd have good, affordable health care, thanks to government-sponsored programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Yet, the only conceivable way forward from here is a dramatic change in the way medical coverage is provided, which will impact seniors financially and physically.
Political and Social Effects
A few years ago there was a dramatic shift in America's population, and for the first time in our country's history we have more people over 65 than under 18. That's important because seniors are now the single largest voting block and possess the most net wealth of any age group in the country.
We have yet to see the senior community flex its political muscles, but I fear the result nationally will be what we've been seeing in towns across America: school budgets and programs for younger families will be voted down because they don't benefit seniors.
We have a political, social and economic battle of the classes brewing between the empty nesters and the young families. The Boomers won't want to pay for schools since their kids are all grown, yet the younger Americans won't want to pay for unlimited hip replacements and elder surgeries because they just can't afford it.
Impact on Business
As far as businesses are concerned, I think the aging of America will obviously be a boon to healthcare companies, but I also see it affecting the home building industry. Big homes are becoming dinosaurs. As we get older, homes are shrinking. In the future, builders who build McMansions will not do as well as those who deal in senior housing and communities.
Also, industries that deal with purely discretionary spending will be hurt as times get tougher. Baby Boomers on a fixed income will ask themselves, "Do I buy this $400 autographed football, or do I buy groceries and medication?" There's a real opportunity for social media that specializes in seniors, as well as the leisure and entertainment of seniors. They are the group that has most of the wealth in America.
A real negative of the aging Baby Boomers can be seen in the growth of the reverse mortgage business. Reverse mortgages have become popular among seniors who receive payments from the bank against the equity in their homes. Essentially, what they are doing is pawning their homes. The problem with that is the worth of the house is wealth that could or was going to be passed on to the next generation, but now wealth is going to the bank or mortgage company.
Twenty years ago, they predicted that the "great wealth transfer" would take place when the Boomers passed their homes and estates on to their children. Now it is going to the mortgage companies, not to the families.

Duncan man charged with vandalizing A/C units
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 7:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 7:54 p.m.
A Duncan man was charged last week after police say he vandalized 12 air-conditioning units at a Spartanburg apartment complex while working as a temporary employee for Spartanburg Housing Authority.
According to Spartanburg Public Safety Department incident report, officers received information that someone may be trying to steal parts from the air-conditioning units and conducted surveillance at Cammie Clagett Courts last Friday. They observed Chris Edward Stierli, 51, damage several of the units and he was arrested, according to the report.
Capt. Art Littlejohn said Stierli obtained a list of vacant apartments at the Cammie Clagett Courts complex on Highland Avenue through his work with the housing authority.
Littlejohn said Stierli had removed the protective cages and locks from the air-conditioning units, causing $5,000 damage, but more damage would have been done if Stierli had cut the freon lines of the units. He was arrested before more damage could be done to the units.
Air-conditioner parts are often sold as scrap metal. Littlejohn said Stierli has been uncooperative with investigators, and Littlejohn couldn't say whether Stierli intended to take apart the units and sell the parts for scrap.
Stierli, of 103 Buckingham Road, has been charged with 12 counts each of malicious injury to property and trespassing, according to online jail records. He remains at the Spartanburg County Detention Facility without bond.

The List: Top 5 Chevy Chevelles
The Chevrolet Chevelle, though unimaginatively named, was the ultimate working stiff's muscle car. It featured no gaudy graphics, superfluous spoilers or cartoon character mascots. What it did have was conservative styling and an abundance of simple no-nonsense horsepower. The Chevelle's 10-year production run perfectly mirrors the rise, pinnacle and fall of the muscle car era. Beginning in 1964 with a modest but respectable package, the Chevelle consistently improved right up to the era's crescendo in 1970, with the most powerful (rated) factory muscle car to date. After that: the slow fade. The nameplate's final year of production, 1973, is best left a footnote in muscle car history. While there were plenty of tuners such as Yenko, Nickey and Baldwin-Motion turning out downright obnoxious (in a good way) examples of the Chevelle, the factory offerings were hardly limp-wristed. Here are my picks for the 5 most desirable of the lot... 5 - 1964 Malibu SS 327 L76 Chevy wasted no time throwing its hat into the burgeoning muscle car fray with its hot new intermediate and the popular SS package. Far and away the best of the new Super Sports was powered by the 365-horse, 327-ci L76 engine from the Corvette. Though the option was officially cancelled prior to the ramp-up of production, a small handful of cars did escape to the wild. The high-winding small block in the lightweight chassis was a rocket ride for the fortunate few. 4 - 1966 Chevelle SS 396 L78 After torturing enthusiasts for a year with the unobtanium Z16, 1966 was the year the big-block Chevelle went mainstream. In fact, starting in '66, the only engine available in the Super Sport was a Mark IV big-block. If you desired the fuel economy of a small block in your Chevelle, the SS was definitely not for you. Top dog for 1966 was the L78 396-ci mill. Again rated at 375 horsepower, but much more available than the Z16, this is the Chevelle that firmly entrenched the Chevelle in muscle car yore. 3 - 1965 Malibu SS 396 Z16 Chevelle fans didn't have to wait long for the new Mark IV big-block to arrive. Known to enthusiasts by its Regular Production Option (RPO) code of Z16, the first big-block Chevelle was an ultra-desirable combination that was ultra-difficult to acquire. Just 200 hardtops and a single convertible were produced. The vast majority of these were pre-allocated to handpicked journalists and celebrities, while the real die-hards were left swinging. The Z16's L37 "Mystery Motor" fairly bristled with 375 horsepower while leaving the public clamoring for more. 2 - 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 At long last, GM finally dropped the silly displacement cap on their intermediates for the 1970 model year. With the floodgates suddenly thrown wide open, Chevy engineers must have been rubbing their hands together in equal parts glee and anticipation. They quickly dropped their brand-new 454 cubic inch engine between the 1970 Chevelle's freshly redesigned fenders. With a chuckle, they underrated the LS6 at a mere 450 horsepower. In doing so, they created a legend. 1 - 1969 Chevelle COPO 9562 The COPO Chevelle is likely the most powerful, most sought-after Chevelle that most people have never heard of.
