Moving toward a transportation system that fuels healthy people and a healthy planet.
By Michael McCoy
Grand Teton, Yellowstone, ecotourism, cycling, national parks, Wyoming, Michael McCoy
One of the best—albeit not the warmest—times of year to bicycle in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks is during the month of April.
As you can see by clicking on this link, bicycling and other means of non-motorized travel—in-line skating, walking, etc.—may be enjoyed in the world's first national park on the roads between West Yellowstone and Mammoth Hot Springs in April. The South Entrance road and part of the East Entrance road are also open to bicycles (while closed to cars), as conditions allow. The dates depend on the severity of the preceding winter and other factors; or, as the National Park Service puts it, "The first day of 'spring bicycling' is never predetermined and is dependent on road conditions as determined by park staff."
To the south of Yellowstone, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the Teton Park Road becomes one of the world's great bike paths in April (the road opens to motor traffic on May 1). Serious plowing began this year on March 24, with rotary plows clearing the way between Moose Junction and Jackson Lake Junction, a distance of about 20 miles … 20 miles of smooth, traffic-free pavement serving up some of the most spectacular mountain views on Earth. After this past winter's prolific snowfall, the banks will be high, but the road will be dry (for the most part).
Please note this caveat from the Park Service: "Although the Teton Park Road will open to non-motorized use, visitors should be alert for park vehicles that may occasionally travel the road for administrative purposes and for snow plowing operations that continue as a result of recurring snowstorms. … As a reminder, entrance stations are operating and collecting fees."
Come prepared to bundle up, although there's always the chance of hitting it on an unusually warm and sunny, western Wyoming spring day. If so, enjoy!

For those not yet up to IM
mikasa wrote (see) But I do have a question. On an undulating long run, do you try to keep your heart rate/min per mile constant or allow for the undulations? If I did the uphills at the same heart rate, I was down about 30-40secs but then uphills and downhills I was feeling that I was going too fast (but breathing was easy and it felt easy and was still way in my 'long run pace'. Maybe I'm over-thinking it. But this run gave me a glimpse of how well I'm doing atm plus also making me realise a lot more still needs to be done.

I'm going to inflict my opinion on you, which differs from the other two opinions. As always, you're entirely free to ignore it completely.
If you're running to heart rate, I assume you're aiming to run at a particular goal HR, which you've calculated as being optimal for your long runs? If so, no, you can't allow for undulations. You're aiming to run for 2 hours (or whatever) at a particular effort level, and complete a particular amount of work in that time. You don't get a pass because the road slopes up or down. Your central governor doesn't give a toss what the incline is, he cares how hard your body is working. The effort level should stay as even as possible.
Think of the extremes - if you could only run downhill, you'd run faster speeds for a lower HR but you wouldn't have got a particularly good workout, would you? Conversely, running uphill, you're working harder, but an hour at 70% max HR (or whatever) is still an hour, regardless of the terrain-dependant speed.
In reality, the chances are you'll have to allow a few beats of slack each way, depending on how steep the hill, but if your target HR is 150, that means 154, not 160. If the aim is an aerobic run, it honestly is far more beneficial to stay aerobic for the hour rather than aerobic for 55 mins and wreck it with 5 mins of super anaerobic effort. You'll have to run super easy and slow up the hill, but in time, this will improve.
So, in summary, yes, PACE can fluctuate with the undulations, but try to aim for even HR throughout. It's not just the average HR at the end of the session that you're interested in
Hope that makes sense.
5.5mile run this morning @ 9' 35" avg so im ok with that ,2 miles @ sub 9'00" as well
well done razor
I managed to get my 6 mile run/walk in despite the sofa being very comfy. Legs are a bit achy now! Gym and swimming today - last masters session till the new year, and not sure I will get chance to go to a public session as I have the kids to look after - OH only has xmas day, boxing day and new year's day off when the pool is closed anyway
mikasa - flyaway makes a lot of sense and I guess in a way it depends whether you are training to HR or to pace - are you following a particular plan? If the plan is HR based then try to keep your HR in the right zone, if the plan is pace based then I think you can expect the pace to drop off when you are going uphill but be a bit quicker going downhill, so if you are doing intervals etc you need to try to do those on the flat if you are trying to do them to a particular pace.
Flyaway - feel free to inflict your opinion anytime, that's why I asked, to get other opinions. I'm not actually following a plan and I'm not training on heart rate. Based on a recent parkrun time, I've checked my training paces and they pretty much reflect the paces I feel happy with for easy and long runs. I put the hr monitor on as I have one and have found a way to wear it comfortably and just wanted to see what my hr was given the pace I feel happy with. Not had a chance to do a max hr test yet so not working off hr as such. And for your info, super easy and slow up the hill is exactly what I'm all about atm.
MC - well done on your run and thanks for your feedback also.
Razor - fab running there!
On other words, after my 5 miler on Thursday I was feeling fine but come Sunday morning I woke up with a stuffy nose and the cold has gone to my chest. Went for a little walk with some uphill bits and breathing was hard, like I couldn't get enough breath. Didn't sleep well last night as breathing was more difficult in a horizontal position. So pretty fed up. Really want to run but no point, I might just give myself more of a break and not run before new year again. And that'll leave me only 9 more running weeks until HM. It ain't gonna be pretty!
Mikasa, you are not the only one with a spring HM and no real running done. I have stayed indoors most of the day, I ventured out to the supermarket first thing and that was hectic.
Happy Christmas to everyone
I wanted to get that in before the weather causes power disruptions and other problems and I get busy putting more towels down on window sills where the water is coming in.
Cycling to work was a bad idea today, happy Christmas everyone, keep dry and safe.
I'd just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you all get everything you wished for, hope you all have a great time
Good swim and turbo today, not so good weather. Taking my easier week for obvious reasons this week.
Happy Christmas I shall be eating a ridiculous amount on Wednesday - feel free to join me.
Turkey and mince pies thats the sort of diet I like
Does a fun swim with the family count as training? I have a rich uncle with a beautiful indoor swimming pool which has a bridge crossing over it so I combined it with some water assisted pull ups . Followed by a tea party to celebrate my grandparents 70th Wedding Anniversary.
JP - I'm glad you made it home safe!
Chili - sounds very grand!
Merry Christmas all!
Still working today but off to North Wales afterwards for 5 days. Hopefully it'll be a lovely break where I can fully recharge my batteries and get rid of this pesky cold. Getting to sleep is still difficult.
Chili - sounds like great fun
mikasa - hope you get plenty of sleep and rest
Happy Christmas to everyone, hope everyone has the kind of day they want whether they are with family, friends or alone

I think there are a couple of us in the same boat. I've got a spring HM and my knee is stopping me from training...I'm sure it'll be fine in the new year...
happy christmas everyone
Happy Christmas everyone, have a great day, Christmas day park run at 9am to kick things off then a group boxing day cycle, hope the wind blows off
Hi Everyone
Hope you all had a great Christmas Day.
My 10yr old twins got 'new' bikes for Christmas so I took them out for an hour yesterday afternoon before it got dark. Now we are on 'holiday' at my parents house in the North Pennines and I suspect I'm not going to be doing any training for most of the week, cos my family seem to wander around in a state of hopeless lostness when I'm not around. Does anyone else experience that?
morning all
after a lazy xmas eve and xmas day I got out for a run yesterday and have to admit that my fitness is going backwards and it felt so hard. I know this is because I have had a rubbish December of being ill on and off but it is a bit disheartening. Anyway, going to stick to a run/walk strategy for the year I think, and on my longer runs have the run section shorter so I can do more distance. Need to start having a bigger bike focus though!
off to the gym in a bit
I have done a turbo session due to the wind and rainy weather, got bored by one hour so got to 1:17 before giving up. Garmin says I worked nice and steady with improvement to my fitness, I hope so as I did not fancy a run.
FiL situation is beginning to get me down and have to go with the flow of what is happening, he is being a selfish old man and causing problems for other family members.
I'm still coughing and spluttering and not being able to breath properly.Done couple of short walks but otherwise happy to just chill out and relax which is very easy to do at bf's mom's house. Planning to get back home for Sunday and do more unpacking. Might leave training to first full week of new years but will go on feel.
MC - I think I'll have to go for walk/run strategy for my long runs as can't see how I can do them otherwise.
Steady - sorry to hear your FiL is making things difficult.
steady - sorry to hear about your FIL - family can be difficult sometimes.
mikasa - just get yourself better before starting to run again!
Had a good gym session, although it was cut short as my boy went over on his ankle playing squash so they came to get me. He always plays on these things but will be ok. Don't think he will be wanting to do parkrun tomorrow though
Urrrrghhh, I've eaten too much chocolate pecan pie

Pope Francis has a special devotion to Our Lady Untier of Knots. As a Cardinal studying in Germany, he came across the Bavarian painting of "Holy Mary, Our Lady Untier of Knots" and took a copy back to Argentina and promoted devotion to Mary under this title. Cardinal Bergoglio also had an image of Our Lady Untier of Knots engraved into a chalice and presented it to then Pope Benedict XVI. The theology of Mary untying knots goes back to the second century and was understood as Mary untying the knot of sin and disobedience created by Eve. The Italian crafted rosary features Our Lady Untier of Knots as the centerpiece among clear 5mm beads. Silver crucifix with engraved details. Lapel pin and rosary gift set.
|Mary Velegol (Weirton, March 4, 2016)
|This is one of the nicest roasaries and it is just as beautiful as it is sturdy to use. this is a quality product and I am enjoying them so much. Anyone would be happy with this rosary if they were to purchase it.

Extra Point:
It's no surprise Vernon Davis returns as the 49ers' starting tight end, but rookie Vance McDonald could be poised to surprise many.
The play of Vance McDonald will be the biggest wild card in the 49ers tight end schema... if he can really materialize into Delanie Walker 2.0 that could allow Davis to really be used as a bigger threat in the passing game - finally allowing the 49ers offense to dictate to defenses what it wants to do. That could be a hell of a show.

MPs say firms must tell clients about the FSCS
A Com Res poll of 154 MPs held between February and March, revealed that 77 per cent believed financial services firms should have to display information about the FSCS prominently in branch or at the point of sale.
The survey, which was weighted to reflect the political make-up of the house of commons, also found that 75 per cent of MPs agreed the compensation scheme was vital to ensure public confidence in financial services firms, against 4 per cent, who disagreed or strongly disagreed with the statement.
Elsewhere, 78 per cent agreed that improving awareness of the FSCS would increase consumer confidence and trust in financial services, in addition to contributing to increased financial stability, while 81 per cent agreed there was a lack of awareness of the protection offered by the industry funded scheme.
FSCS chief executive Mark Neale said: "The FSCS makes an important contribution to consumer confidence and MPs recognise the important work we do to protect consumers. MPs also agree the industry needs to do more to make people aware of the protection the scheme provides, particularly in branch and at the point of sale.
"We are working with the industry on the next phase of our consumer awareness programme, including providing clear sign posting of FSCS in banks, building societies and credit unions. We hope the industry will embrace this work which will benefit consumers and firms alike."
The poll's publication came in the wake of claims by Alun Cairns MP - the chairman of an all-party parliamentary group looking into compensation for victims of the Arch Cru mis-selling scandal, who said the proposed £100m FSA redress scheme was "too complex" and needed to be looked at in further detail.

State Fair officials are doing their best to convince visitors that DART is the way to go.
They say light rail offers the fastest path right to the gates.
Ron Moss, for one, agrees. "Just do it," he said. "It's a no-brainer."
Moss, a 36-year-old Phoenix transplant, hasn't always heeded his own advice.
"Having lived in Arizona, I drove everywhere," he said. "I would drive from downtown. I learned the hard way."
Every year many fairgoers have to learn the hard way, too.
"This is not unlike going to the airport on a holiday," DART spokesman Morgan Lyons said.
He said DART's new Go Pass app may be ideal for fairgoers, who can use their iPhones or Androids to buy tickets in advance and activate them before boarding.
"We think it's particularly helpful for people who use us once or twice a year," Lyons said.
Although fair officials are promoting DART as the best choice, they promise there will always be plenty of parking.
On especially crowded days, such as the Oct. 12 Texas vs. Oklahoma football game, the fair is ready to open remote lots. During those times, digital signs will point drivers in the right direction, and free trams will ferry them to the entrance.
Many people choose to look for cheaper parking outside the fairgrounds, but officials warn them to check for a city of Dallas permit.
"We don't want any of our patrons to have their cars towed," fair spokeswoman Sue Gooding said.
She encouraged drivers to take exits 48B and 49B from Interstate 30 to avoid routes near Parry Avenue that may move slower because they cross DART lines.
Whether they use DART or drive, visitors need to allow plenty of time to get to the fairgrounds.
U-John Su, 38, of Carrollton drove to the fair Sunday, but he said he has tried DART, too, and sometimes it's a tossup.
"We took the DART and it was very packed, but we looked outside and there was traffic," he said. "Either you're stuck in traffic or you have all those people around you."

I knew long ago it was going to take a lot more than what people were used to seeing in the past to get customers in the door and to keep them coming back for more year after year. So I decided to push a goal for the haunt with the most extreme actors, the most extreme monsters." Going back to the days of Terror on Church Street in Orlando, FL and Spookyworld in New England, Nordquist knew he had a passion for haunting, so he began researching the haunted house industry. He traveled all over the country attending haunted attractions just about everywhere, but things really progressed in 2008 when he visited Netherworld Haunted House in Atlanta, GA and 13th Gate Haunted House in Baton Rouge, LA. Nordquist recounts being amazed by these two haunts, "I remember thinking WOW, so this is the next level of haunted attractions! The detailed sets, the horrific sounds, the perfect lighting and the scary actors were simply THE BEST."
In 2009, Nordquist thought it was time to get more serious with his research towards opening a haunted house, and he attended the Transworld Halloween and Attractions Haunt Show in St. Louis, MO for the first time. "I attended some of the seminars and spoke with most of the haunt vendors, and I really enjoyed all the conversations I had with haunted house owners from around the country. Little did I know that attending that one trade show would send me on my way to creating one of the largest and scariest haunted attractions that Orange County, NY has to offer." In October 2010, Pure Terror Scream Park opened and was an overwhelming success. When asked about the success even in year one, Nordquist humbly credits Hauntworld and social media. "Continually being rated as one of the top best Haunted Screamarks in the country on Hauntworld.com combined with the awesome reviews online and the very positive social media response has lent to our success, and it all really motivates me to strive harder to make it even better and more extreme for the next year." Appreciative as Nordquist may be, his Scream Park is TOP NOTCH with multiple high level haunted attractions each with different themes and unique heart-pounding fright, individually preying on the fears and senses of its guests. It's no wonder his haunted house event is a success.

Fall Creek: Old Orchard Road *may be missing*
(good friend tried to locate on 4-08-09 and could not find)
Rating: Rugged and strenuous especially at beginning. Our 6-yr. old was able to make the climb with help.
You may eliminate some of this hard climb during the warmer months when the road to the top is open. If you want to drive to the scenic overlook, you can do that and take up the trail at the ** below.
Find your way to Fall Creek Rest Area. It is about 12 miles south of Quincy, just east of the intersections of IL 57 and US 172.
Park in the lot and then walk on the roadway back towards the way you came in. (Smile for the camera on the tree!) Before you get to the entrance you will see a sign on your left To Scenic Overlook marking the trailhead. This is where your climb begins. Follow the trail through a downed tree and up to the left. Take a deep breath! Heading up the steep hillside youll see several built-in steps to aid your ascent. There are a few downed trees that make nice rest benches near the top of the hill.
Continue along the trail which has a slow upward climb. Youll curve left, and eventually curve down and to the left again. When you see several cut-up trees you are near the top!
A wide grassy path leads rightfollow it to the overlook for a beautiful view and a rest.
** After you have rested, follow the paved path. You will quickly reach a road. This is a circular drive that leads down to the parks main entrance. Turn left and walk along the road; the trees form a tangled mass to your left. When you reach the next parking area, leave the roadyou are aiming for a wide, cleared pathway. This is the old orchard roadformally used by farmers to bring their wagons up to the orchards.
Continue down this pathway. You will have a beautiful view to your right. Keep going.
Just before your reach the area with several trees blocking the path look to your right. On the ridge you will see a large downed tree that has been cut off as it protrudes out into the pathway. This holds your prize. Explore the ripped out base of the tree for the box. Stamp in and re-hide well.
Proceed on down the trail the same way you were heading. You will see the intricate root systems of many big trees. The ground here is full of loose rocks, so take care. You will exit the trail very close to where you entered. Walk back on the roadway to your car.
From here you can proceed on to Fall Creek: Stone Arch Bridge

At INLET, take a piece of pinewood, three inches by eight inches, a Cub Scout and a father, put them all together and they spell success. This is what happened to David Thibado and his father, Charles. The Fort Stanwix Council of Boy Scouts held a Pinewood Derby Race at the Verona-Vernon Central School. All members of the council were invited to participate.
Over 180 entries were on hand and the competition had to be divided into heats. David won eight successive races and became the only undefeated participant in the whole tournament.
Boys from all over the central section of the state were on hand. The Hamilton County News editor opined, "It's rather gratifying that one of our lads from this small area in the mountains went down to the competition and let them know that our boys up here are as capable if not more than any of the city-slickers."
This was a Cub Scout and Father Project as the scout had to make the vehicle with the help of his dad. Apparently David and Charles had the proper formula for making their racecar. Three cars raced down a straight incline for a set distance in each heat.
David Thibado's car was built or designed in such a fashion that no one else could come close to the speed and agility of his model.
The American Legion Smorgasbord and Dance would be held at the Wood Hotel, Inlet.
Thomas N. Thibado, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred G. Thibado, Inlet, had been accepted at the State University of New York at Albany. He planned to major in Business Administration. Tom would graduate in June 1965 from the Town of Webb Schools, Old Forge.

Not Techno Savvy
January 28, 2010 - Amy Phelps
With the iPad coming out, I seem to keep having discussions with fellow blogger Art Smith about why I don't have some sort of ebook reader and why I'm hanging onto "dead trees." For one thing, books smell good. I can't explain it properly, but they do. But my major hang-up with those devices is that I spend too much of my life as it is on the computer due to work. I cannot spend anymore of it reading for hours on end on yet another computer screen. Art tells me these devices do something to try to simulate a paper page. And yet it's still a simulation. It's not a paper page. While I've not read a book on one of the ereaders, I have had to read pdfs of books before. And it's a chore. I would much rather read an actual book. I also cannot imagine cuddling up on the couch with my kids and reading one of their favorite picture books - on a computer screen.
Art has a point in that many book publishers will probably start going to pdf or some sort of electronic copy for book reviewers to read instead of going through the expense of delivering books otherwise. But I'm afraid I'm going to be a holdout on those devices for as long as possible.
It's cool people like them, and I'm sure it is nice to have your entire library in one small package. But I'm sticking with the dead trees for as long as I can.

How Starting My First Business Helped Me Sober Up
You can't sleep. Every waking moment of the day you are filled with energy focusing every ounce of attention on your business. Making sure your product is coming together, your customers are being delighted, your interns are on task and your new employees are unleashing their potential. You are fully immersed in the marathon of building a business. Have you ever been happier or felt more alive?
Gone are the days where you are waiting for the clock to hit 5pm. Instead, you find yourself often asking, "Where did today go?" You're tired, but too absorbed in your work to even notice. You are in flow; the complete immersion into an activity where every action and decision stems from the one before. You're at peak performance…or at least think you are.
It's time to put down the bottle and sober up.
No, I'm not suggesting that you have a hidden stash to keep you fired up through the day… your drink of choice is raw emotion. You're craving this bottle day after day.
The challenge is that when you are starting a new business or a new relationship, this 'honeymoon stage' is a result of abnormal emotions influencing your mood, performance, and decision-making. Sure, leveraging your emotions can help you achieve a state of flow, but this liquid courage can also leave amateur entrepreneurs prone to error and poor decision-making, increasing the chance of failure. These errors are known as biases and heuristics: simple errors and short-cuts our brains take to make decisions more efficiently. Unfortunately, we are all subject to falling for these biases and heuristics when we've been drinking from that bottle of emotion.
You are unconsciously falling for these bias now – or if you're a seasoned entrepreneur and you've been there-done that, you can empathize with this realization. However, regardless of how long you've been stumbling, the best first step is to admit you have a problem. Challenging yourself to be mindful and aware of these natural pitfalls is an essential step to reaching entrepreneurial sobriety.
Common Stumbling Blocks
Confirmation Bias
The confirmation bias is one of the most common errors I see many of our early stage companies fall for, especially during the early stages of customer discovery. The confirmation bias occurs when we unconsciously filter out any new information that contradicts our existing views, or interpret new information so that it is compatible with our existing beliefs.
Avoid falling for this bias by articulating your proposed business model on a business model canvas. The canvas acts as a great accountability tool to evaluate new market intelligence and facts from your customer discovery and market research efforts against your initial assumptions.
An effective solution to avoid confirmation bias is to build falsifiable experiments to validate each area of your business model. Forcing yourself to find information to prove your initial assumptions wrong is a great stress test and forces you to look for information to challenge your views; the exact opposite of confirmation bias.
Overconfidence Effect
Yes, the overconfidence effect is exactly what it sounds like: it is the difference between what people think they know, and what they actually know.
When I started my first company out of school, The Concussion Toolbox, the overconfidence effect put me flat on my face. After conducting 3 years of concussion research during my University studies, I graduated thinking I knew just about everything relevant to the concussion industry and that my company was destined for success. After coming to the realization that we weren't achieving solid product-market fit, our team went back to square one to conduct more customer discovery interviews.
After doing this, it didn't take long for us to realize that we were far too overconfident with our perceived understanding of the market, and so we needed to pivot. This mistake cost us thousands of dollars and weeks of valuable development time. For months I was furious at the opportunity cost we paid for this mistake.
The overconfidence effect can also creep up during delegation. Any founder of an early-stage company can relate to the challenge of assigning tasks to interns/team members to increase your productivity capacity. I caution you to avoid taking on projects and tasks that are not within your core competencies. Albeit sometimes you have to roll-up the sleeves and get things done, don't be overconfident in your skills and assign yourself responsibilities and tasks better suited for someone else.
Committing to regular self-assessment is a great strategy for keeping an accurate gauge of what you know, and most importantly what you do NOT know. I'm not suggesting you check your confidence at the door every morning, but challenge yourself to build products to solve problems your customers have expressed themselves.
Beginner's Luck
Beginner's luck is simply defined as creating a (false) link with the past. Rolf Dobelli, author of The Art of Thinking Clearly poses a great question, "But how do you tell the difference between beginner's luck and the first signs of real talent?"
When our team first created Concussion Toolbox, I was certain that our early success was a result of talent. After winning the first two big pitch competitions we entered, quickly landing a development team, and acquiring our first customers for a pilot project, how could it not be talent?
Retrospectively, we did not prove to be superior to our competition over a long period of time. How could we when we were in business for all of 4 months? The emotional high, increased confidence, and positive perception of our company following these early successes were unjustified, inaccurate, and a result drinking too much emotion. In fact, I think this example demonstrates confirmation bias, the overconfidence effect, and beginner's luck all in one.
Take home message.
Educate yourself on common errors in decision-making.
Leverage these insights to develop an objective view on yourself, your business, and the decisions you make going forward to avoid these errors.
Data first, then emotion.
It doesn't matter if you're starting your first venture, acquiring a round of VC funding, or are a serial entrepreneur. We can all benefit from sobering up. The great thing is that with consistent effort the benefits from achieving this state of mindfulness improve both your professional and personal life. Trust me, this is coming from a recovering entrepreneur.
I've now been sober for 77 days.

ALAMEDA -- Having talked about stopping the run for the better part of the last decade, the Raiders are doing something about it.
Perennial bottom-feeders in terms of rushing defense, the Raiders are currently ranked 11th in fewest rushing yards allowed per game (102.1) and ninth in yards allowed per carry (3.9).
That's rarefied air for a team that gave up a whopping 5.1 yards per carry -- the most in the league -- and were ranked 27th against the run at 136.1 yards allowed per game last season.
Since finishing third in rushing defense in their AFC title season of 2002, the Raiders have finished no better than 22nd in the last nine seasons. They've been 29th twice, 31st twice and 32nd once.
After giving up 263 yards and four touchdowns on the ground to Miami in Week 2, those used to watching the Raiders struggle against the run braced for more of the same.
Instead, with the exception of giving up 165 rushing yards and a lot of second-half yardage in Denver, the Raiders have done an about-face.
"In the Dolphins game, we didn't have great run defense, and we had an attitude about it," linebacker Philip Wheeler said. "We don't want nothing like that to happen again."
Over the last three games, they gave up 67 yards per game and 3.2 yards per carry against Atlanta, Jacksonville and Kansas City.
A skeptic would point to extenuating circumstances in the last two games, as Jacksonville lost running back Maurice Jones-Drew after just two carries to a foot sprain and Kansas City inexplicably gave their best running back Jamaal Charles just five carries (for four yards) despite no apparent injury.
The Raiders, hoping to even their record at 4-4 against Tampa Bay on Sunday, can go along way toward proving their improved run defense is no fluke against a Buccaneers team led by rookie running back Doug Martin, the 11th-ranked rusher in the NFL with 543 yards on 129 carries.
Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano said by conference call that the heart of the Raiders defense is "they've got those two defensive tackles, (Tommy) Kelly and (Richard) Seymour. I think the front is a huge challenge."
Yet the Raiders have mostly the same faces up front they had a year ago, with dramatically different results. The defenses run by Chuck Bresnahan (2003 and 2011), Rob Ryan (2004-08) and John Marshall (2009-10) adhered to an Al Davis philosophy of basic four-man fronts and exerting physical superiority in winning one-on-one matchups.
Under coach Dennis Allen and coordinator Jason Tarver, the Raiders still use a 4-3 base defense, using a 3-4 as an infrequent changeup. They blitz more frequently and stress communication, with each player understanding his own assignment, as well as those around him.
"We have a new scheme and I think it took us a few weeks to get to where we could run it really effectively," defensive tackle Desmond Bryant said. "The first four weeks of the season plus the bye week, we were kind of able to figure out what we're doing, how we're doing it and how to do it better."
A key has been getting players to understand when it was OK to leave an assigned gap or area and pursue the ball, allowing for fewer rushing lanes and multiple tacklers.
"It's guys being accountable and being where they're supposed to be when they're supposed to be there," Allen said. "Run defense is where it all starts if you want to play a physical brand of football."
The ripple effect of stopping the run over the past three games has seen an improved pass rush (five sacks in the last two games and good pressure with no sacks against Atlanta), a 7-for-37 rate on the opponent's third-down conversion because of better down-and-distance and more three-and-outs.
During one stretch spanning two games, the Raiders forced 15 three-and-out possessions in 23 series.
"You can still be a playmaker, but you've got to play within the parameters of the defense," Wheeler said.

Cry Watching Tracy Chapman Sing 'Stand by Me' to David Letterman, or Maybe Just Cry Because It's Monday Again
For you, Dave.By Dee Lockett
For you, Dave.By Dee Lockett
She slayed the Tracy Chapman classic.By Dee Lockett
From the King of Sads, we expect more.By Lindsey Weber
I tell her people are still fascinated by her love affair with the singer Tracy Chapman in the mid-1990s. Moments earlier she had said firmly but politely that she didn't want to answer any questions about her family life … So I was surprised to see her face light up at the mention of Chapman. "Yeah I loved it too. Absolutely." So why did they decide against using their relationship to make a big social impact like other celebrity lesbian couples, such as Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche, have in the past? The idea seems to amuse her. "I would never do that. My life is not to be somebody else's impact — you know what I mean?"Wait … Alice Walker is going on the record about having an affair with Tracy Chapman in THE GUARDIAN? Be sure to catch next week's Oprah to see if you can register the note of quiet betrayal; check out YouTube for inevitable Rosie clip. No Retreat [The Guardian]

As is the case with its 1901-S branch mint counterpart, the 1901 returned in quantity from foreign bank holdings in the decades after the 1933 Roosevelt gold recall. Such pieces were in demand from gold accumulators, since U.S. numismatic gold was legal to own during an era (prior to 1975) when the holding of gold bullion was prohibited.

Desperate for a spinning wheel!!!!!
I have been spinning with a hand spindle for years and it is time to get serious. I cannot afford to buy a traditional spinning wheel and I do not know if I would be qualified to construct one myself. Does anyone know where I can find a decent spinning wheel for a reasonable price? I have a friend who got hers really cheep and it is made out of PVC and such, I would not mind one like that except I cannot even find those. I am very desperate, if anyone has any information that would help me then that would be very....helpful. On top of that I am purchasing two ewe lambs this month and I am hoping that by the time I can sheer them I will have something eficient to spin the wool with.

The Coachouse, adjacent to the main house, was built in 1910, and formerly housed a stable, tack room and coachroom. Original features have been retained wherever possible, including the original internal elm boarding around the walls, one of the oak stall partitions, and stone window surrounds. Colours, furnishings and fabrics have been chosen to enhance the building, and to reflect the parkland in which it is set.
The farm now produces wheat, barley, oilseed rape and feed beans. Our flock of breeding ewes has recently been reduced from 1300 to 400.

Arriving at the Calvin Klein runway show, dressed in pale pink, she was pursued by a crush of photographers, and it was no surprise: She looked as stunning as she has all awards season.
The "12 Years a Slave" actress has established a strong relationship with Calvin Klein, said the label's designer, Francisco Costa, adding he was especially thrilled that she wore one of his dresses to accept her Critics' Choice award.
"We were very, very thrilled that she wore that amazing dress," he said.
On the runway, Costa presented a series of minimalist but inviting outfits, mostly knits. When a soft, fuzzy coat in ivory mohair came out, you could almost hear the crowd sigh, so perfect was it for the day's wintry weather. (Come to think of it, though, perhaps not for the huge puddles of brown slush that surrounded the entire block of the downtown venue.)
Costa said his collection was inspired by the idea of "downtown meets uptown in a sense, you know where the sensibility is really expensive, luxurious, very Calvin, but also with a fun, of coziness of.

The federal reserve chairman says the fragile economy is facing numerous difficulties and warns that rising prices for food and energy are elevating inflation risks.
One thing that doesn't seem to be affected by the sluggish economy is business at fast food restaurants, but that could have a downside too.
The manager of one local fast food restaurant says they've seen such an increase in sales she's been able to give some employees a raise.
She believes many people are looking to fast food because they think it is cheaper than the rising prices at grocery stores.
But is cheaper good for your health?
The general manager at the Hazard Burger King says business is booming despite the current state of the economy.
"Fridays and Saturdays are hopping. Saturday mornings are slow, but then it picks up and it goes all day. and Friday it's non stop," Burger King General Manager, Carolyn Hill said.
Hill says most people are looking to save money with a quick stop at their favorite fast food joint.
"We have a value menu. It has a dollar items, up to 1.39, so they take a lot of advantage of that!"
Though paying one dollar for a sandwich is hard to beat, doctors say too much fast food can lead to serious health problems.
"It's certainly not good for their health, it can lead to a lot of different problems. The major links they've shown have been with obesity. They've shown obesity to be linked in increased risk of diabetes, increased risk of heart attack, increased risk of high blood pressure," Dr. Key Douthitt said.
However, most fast food restaurants are offering more healthy alternatives.
"If you look at a lot of the places now, especially in the summer time, they do have some healthy options. They have salads now, some of them will have some baked chicken or grilled chicken. instead of something that's fried," Dr. Douthitt said.
He says the key to dining out is eating less and making healthier choices.
Dr. Douthitt says a 2007 study showed that a family of four would save about 20 dollars a week if they bought healthy food at the grocery store rather than fast food.

(Tacoma) -- Back in the 2A basketball regionals for the third straight year, the Port Angeles Roughriders will travel to Lynden Friday to meet Archbishop Murphy or Cedarcrest in a battle which will send one team on to state in Yakima.
The Riders beat Olympic for the third time this year at Foss High Monday, 43-33, but the game was close most of the way as two tired teams went at it hard.
PA led 7-4 at the quarter, 20-12 at half and 31-17 in the third period.
Miday through the third, Rider frosh Hayley Baxley stole the ball at midcourt, fired ahead to Maddy Hinrichs for a layin and the lead was 36-20 with five minutes left and the Riders broke the Trojan spirit.
Ashli Payne led the Olympic team back with 8 of her game-high 19 in the last period, but Port Angeles buried five of nine freebies sin the last two minutes to secure the win.
Hinrichs had 11 for the Riders, Mariah Frazier and Macy Walker added 8 each as seven Riders scored.
Port Angeles plays the 6 o'clock game at Lynden, with KONP air time 5:45. Olympic meets Burlington-Edison in the second game. Both winners advance to Yakima.
Sumner upset White River 57-43 to win the district title. Renton and Washington finished fifth and sixth, all going to the Regionals.

Milken Family Foundation Surprises Five
"It was quite amazing because I'm not someone who is easy to surprise," said Shulamith May, an eighth-grade teacher and assistant principal of Jewish studies at Harkham Hillel Academy in Beverly Hills, remembering the moment she found out she won a Milken Family Foundation Jewish Educator Award at a surprise school assembly in November. "It was nice to be appreciated and it's very important for Jewish education to be recognized."
May was one of five local Jewish educators to be honored at the 14th annual Jewish Educator Awards Luncheon on Dec. 11 at the Luxe Summit Hotel in Bel Air. The other recipients were Rabbi Shlomo Goldberg, head of school at Yeshiva Ohr Eliyahu in Culver City; Jan Navah, an art specialist at Stephen S. Wise Elementary School in Bel Air; Tamar Raff, principal of Jewish studies at Valley Beth Shalom Harold M. Schulweis Day School in Encino, and Aliza Dallalzadeh, a kindergarten teacher at Emanuel Academy in Beverly Hills. In addition to the luncheon held in their honor, all of the winners were awarded $10,000 each.
"What the Milken Family Foundation does in creating the big hoopla is communicate to all the teachers, parents and children that teaching is a very respected and lauded profession," said Gil Graff, the executive director of the Bureau of Jewish Education of Greater Los Angeles.
Camp Goes to the Holy Land
If summer camp conjures up images of the Western Wall, the Negev or the beautiful shores of Eilat, then you're going to Camp Shachar, a new modern Orthodox summer program in Israel for teens.
During their travels through the Holy Land, 200 American teens ages 12-17 will have the opportunity to go through mock-training with the Gadna Israel Defense Forces army program, spend a week with Israeli teenagers and participate in activities like jeep rides, kayaking, hiking and sports. One of the highlights of the summer will be when the campers take a two-day cruise on an ocean liner from Greece to reenact the 1947 Exodus, when Jews sailed from Europe to Israel.
The camp directors' vision is to get as many Jewish teens as possible to visit Israel this summer.
"Every Jew that comes to Israel is actually strengthening Israel, strengthening the Jewish people and strengthening himself," said Rabbi Avraham Kramer, the camp co-director, who is also a Jewish day school teacher in New York. "We're all one people and it doesn't matter where you're from. We're all Jews."
For more information about Camp Shachar, call (800) 593-3382 or visit www.campshachar.org .
ADL Tackles Holiday Fairness
Is it OK to celebrate religious holidays in public schools or use religious symbols or decorations? In accordance with the United States Constitution, the answer is a resounding no. This December, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) provided public schools and public institutions nationwide with materials and information on how to handle what they call the "December Dilemma."
The ADL's Pacific Southwest regional office in Los Angeles sent all of the public schools in its seven counties a letter advising schools to be sensitive and cautious in how they teach students about the various December holidays.
"Special school events, assemblies, concerts and programs must be designed to further a secular and objective program of education," the letter stated, "and must not focus on any one religion or religious observance."
The ADL also offered supplementary materials on the topic.
"Every December there are questions that arise about how we can enjoy the holiday season without making anyone feel excluded," said Amanda Susskind, the ADL's Pacific Southwest regional director. "There's a balance to be found between what the law allows and what schools adopt as their practice."
Because Los Angeles is a city known for its multiculturalism, there were more concerns in the suburban and rural areas where the population is not quite as diverse.
Yeshiva Educators Gather for Conference
"Teaching can be a lonely business," said Gil Graff, executive director of the Bureau of Jewish Education of Greater Los Angeles (BJE), during a lunch break at the 23rd annual Yom Iyun Conference for Yeshiva Educators, "so when teachers see that they're part of a large group of [other teachers], there's a certain inspirational quality."
Over 800 educators from the 21 local yeshiva schools gathered at Emek Hebrew Academy in Sherman Oaks on Dec. 15 to attend professional development sessions on topics like student indifference, classroom discussions, planning for retirement, bringing Israel to life in the classroom and teaching Hebrew. Both Torah studies and general studies teachers attended the conference.
"I learned that it's OK for children to get angry," said Scott Kolanach, a general studies teacher at Yeshiva Rav Isacsohn in Hancock Park, after attending a session called, "Dealing With Anger, Tantrums and Acting Out." "Anger is a part of adult life, so you have to learn how to deal with it at a young age."
Meir Kakone, a seventh- and eighth-grade Judaic studies teacher at Shalhevet High School in Los Angeles, learned a thing or two about respect during one of his sessions.
"Without respecting the students and respecting yourself, there's no chance you can teach something to your students," he said.
The BJE held the conference in hopes that the teachers could acquire new skills and gain a sense of renewal and validation for their work.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Baseball's history is littered with flashes in the pan, and Giants right-hander Ryan Vogelsong knows that some people view him that way.
But he's intent on building off his 2011 success, not letting it define his career.
"My big goal is to not be the one-hit wonder," said Vogelsong, who is sidelined for seven to 10 days with a back strain. "But as much as I need to keep that in mind, I also need to think about what I did last year to be successful."
After years of bouncing around baseball, including a stint in Japan, Vogelsong finally pieced it all together in 2011. The results were an astounding 13-7 record and 2.71 ERA, the fourth-best mark in the National League.
This season, Vogelsong will try to keep the same mental approach that sparked the breakthrough, one built in part on not letting down the rest of the vaunted rotation. He paused while discussing his teammates, sneaking a glance at a corner of the clubhouse that's home to two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum and co-ace Matt Cain, who Vogelsong said "probably will win one or two before he's done."
"I don't want to be the guy that's not getting it done, you know?" he said. "That drove me all of last season. The thing that scared me the most was being the guy that wasn't holding up his end of the bargain."
Vogelsong, 34, did that and more last season, earning the faith of his teammates and manager Bruce Bochy, who has brushed off concern about Vogelsong's injury. Bochy said the team will take the time necessary to get Vogelsong right.
It's a far cry from a year ago, when Vogelsong might have pitched through the pain just to prove he belonged. Vogelsong signed as a minor league free agent who hadn't pitched in the big leagues for four seasons.
"Last year at this time, I was hoping to just make it through the first couple of weeks," he said. "It's definitely different knowing I've got a spot in the rotation, and I just have to get ready for the season."
His opening-day home a year ago was Triple-A Fresno. But just over three months later, Vogelsong found himself standing alongside the game's best and brightest at the All-Star game in Phoenix.
Nobody, not even Vogelsong, could have foreseen that happening.
But it wasn't the All-Star jersey that gave him the most satisfaction. Nor was it the accolades and countless interview requests that came during and after his breakthrough season.
Vogelsong was just happy finally to be throwing the way he always knew he could.
"When you're growing up, you don't see yourself struggling and getting booed and having nights where you can't sleep because you can't figure out what's going on," Vogelsong said this week. "To finally be helping a team and to be counted on to win big games -- that's the part that felt good."
For the first time in years, Vogelsong felt that he was wanted, which made the decisions easy when it came time to negotiate a new contract. After several phone calls between the Giants and Vogelsong's side, a two-year, $8.3 million contract was agreed upon in January.
"It's the first time in my career that I've ever had someone be like, 'We want you around, and not just for one year, but for two and maybe three,' " Vogelsong said. "That was the most gratifying part. It was a pretty easy process."
Vogelsong skipped winter ball after throwing a career-high 1792/3 innings last season, but he kept the rest of his preparation the same, doing the same fitness and throwing routines.
"You prepare one way for so long, it seemed kind of stupid to change it now," he said.
