Seattle, Wash.: Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center announced that patient Madeline Hunt was released from the hospital yesterday.
One-year old Madeline Hunt was born with Citrullinemia, a rare genetic disorder caused by the lack of an enzyme that plays a role in the breakdown and removal of nitrogen from the body. She underwent a liver transplant on Sept. 17th; however, a blood clot developed in her transplant liver, requiring a second liver transplant that took place September 24.
The surgeries were led by Dr. Patrick Healey, chief of transplant surgery at Children's, and a team of transplant specialists, including surgeons, gastroenterologists, critical care physicians, nurses and anesthesiologists, in addition to specialists in social work, nutrition, and child life.
"We are very happy to announce that Madeline has been released from Children's and is doing very well. We want to send out a special message of appreciation to our friends, family and the entire community for all their support over the past several months. We feel so grateful for the well-wishes, thoughts, and prayers that have come even from people who have never met Madeline.
Madeline's recovery since her second transplant has gone as well as could be expected, though it has been a long road. Children's doctors say that her future medical outlook is great and that she will be a healthy, normal child. We feel very hopeful that her progress will continue to go well. Madeline's care team at Children's, including doctors, nurses and many others, has been outstanding.
Right now, we are looking forward to being back home with Madeline and spending quiet time as a family this holiday season. We ask that the media please respect this. In the next 3-6 months, as our lives settle back down after such a momentous year, we anticipate being available for media interviews to offer a public thank you, give an update on how Madeline is doing, and once again stress the importance of organ donation. We will contact media directly when that time comes."
Consistently ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Seattle Children's serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical referral center for the largest landmass of any children's hospital in the country (Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). For more than 100 years, Seattle Children's has been delivering superior patient care while advancing new treatments through pediatric research. Seattle Children's serves as the primary teaching, clinical and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The hospital works in partnership with Seattle Children's Research Institute and Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation.

Nintendo Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii)Item#: ND10-1096 | Model#: RVLPRM3E
Currently Out Of Stock!
Nintendo Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii) Product Details
Nintendo Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii)
Stop the unstoppable Dark Samus! If you think you knew what it felt like to be the bounty hunter behind the visor, think again. The Galactic Federation's network computer, Aurora Unit, is suddenly and completely corrupted with something like a virus. The Federation believes Space Pirates may be behind the problem and are soon attacked. Samus and other hunters leap to their defense only to find that the enemy they face is Dark Samus, armed with immense power that no one can withstand.
- First-Person Perfect - Players control Samus by moving with the Nunchuk controller and aiming with the Wii Remote controller, allowing for a level of immersion unlike anything they have ever experienced. It's a quantum leap in first-person control.
- Wonderful Weapons - Samus employs well-known power-ups like the Grapple Beam and Morph Ball, as well as new surprises, to help her survive. Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers, players will be able to grasp and pull things by using actual arm movements, as well as execute amazing feats like aiming and blasting in midair or at a full run.
- Phazon's Powers - The game also incorporates a new system involving Phazon. If you fill Samus' Phazon supply to a certain level, Samus will temporarily go into hyper mode, a state in which she can pull off incredible feats. On the flip side, if she exceeds the maximum Phazon level, she'll perish. Also, for the first time in the Metroid series, Samus' ship will be used in active game play.

PARKER — It was one of those days where anything that could go wrong went wrong for Columbine's girls soccer team.
Mountain Vista junior Katie Joella scored back-to-back goals in two minutes in the first half. The Golden Eagles added a third first-half goal on a shot by sophomore Maisie Paulson in the 33rd minute to give Mountain Vista a commanding 3-0 lead in the Class 5A state semifinal game May 21 at Echo Park Automotive Stadium in Parker.
LAKEWOOD — Seniors Lexi Reed and Katie Rainsberger embraced after both finished up their impressive prep careers May 21 at Jeffco Stadium.
"She (Rainsberger) just said good job and I said good job getting the record," Reed said of the conversation when the two hugged after Rainsberger set a new state meet record winning the Class 4A girls 1,600-meter state title with a time of 4:45.27.
DENVER — Having won nine-of-10 games entering the Class 5A baseball double-elimination state tournament, Dakota Ridge liked its chances for a long stay.
Unfortunately for the Eagles, losses to Cherokee Trail (May 20 at All-City Field) and Mullen (May 21 at Machebeuf High School) brought the season to an abrupt end for Dakota Ridge (15-8 record).
A full-scale wildfire preparation exercise is planned for the Ken-Caryl area on Saturday. Sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security Grant Program, the exercise will involve neighborhood evacuations, a mock shelter at Chatfield High School and more.
Astronomy enthusiasts and passers-by alike caught a rare glimpse of Mercury's transit across the sun on May 9, the first time the phenomenon had occurred since 2006.
"If you look about nine o'clock, there should be a clean black dot. The ones in the center are fuzzy sunspots," said Mike Dempsey, a naturalist at Lookout Mountain Nature Center who was stationed at Mount Falcon Park with a $2,000 telescope donated by volunteers and equipped with a filter to make the viewing possible.
LAKEWOOD — The left foot of Columbine senior Tatum Barton got the Rebels one step closer to the Class 5A girls soccer state championship game.
Barton's 28th goal this season was all the 5A Jeffco League champs needed offensively May 18 in the state quarterfinal showdown with No. 7 seed Rocky Mountain. The senior forward ripped a left-footed shot from atop the Lobos' goalie box in the 49th minute that hit the inside of the right post and into the back of the net.
Jeffco Public Schools and its teachers union have reached a tentative contract agreement after months of negotiations.
The five-year agreement includes $14.1 million in annual raises, $10.4 million for a one-time pay increase and a transparent pay schedule. It retains a slightly modified version of the controversial pay-for-performance system instituted by the previous school board.
If Jeffco Public Schools' proposed facilities master plan isn't approved next month, the district will have to consider other solutions to the issue of its aging buildings and the capital needs associated with repairing and replacing those facilities.
According to Superintendent Dan McMinimee, year-round school, a split-shift schedule and a bond issue focused on deferred maintenance all are possibilities.
A Littleton man accused of killing his common-law wife was convicted Monday of first-degree murder.
Michael Sommerfield, 35, was found guilty by a jury in the slaying of Michele Lucero, 34, in 2014. On March 21, 2014, the Jeffco Sheriff's Office was called to Lucero's home in the 9300 block of West Ontario Drive, where she was found dead. An autopsy later concluded the woman had died from ligature strangulation.
The economic crime unit of the Denver DA's office is reviewing a complaint from ProgressNow Colorado, a political group that has alleged signatures were forged on the petitions of Jon Keyser in his bid to make the GOP primary ballot for U.S. Senate.
After receiving a letter from Alan Franklin, political director of ProgressNow, the district attorney's office agreed to review the complaint, said Lynn Kimbrough, Denver DA's spokesperson.
"We are in the process of looking at documents," Kimbrough said.

I bet you're thinking step-mom...LOL...I had one of those too but not the first once of respect for her!
My Mom passed when I was 13. When I was 14, I made friends with a girl in summer school. As soon as I met her Mom, we clicked. She has been like my Mom for the last 34 years. =)
I know what you mean. My parents were abusive. When I was in my late teens, I worked with a woman who had 2 young teen boys. We became best friends. Here and her husband said I was the daughter they never had. My kids call them grandmom & Pop.
husband, good friend KM, and...um...my friend AH because she had the guts to move out of state and start her life :) I wish I'd done that when I was younger and childless.

Recent reviews
Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 197 reviews
Although the weather was not so perfect but you can relax in the resort as it has all you need! Love the food and the cocktail sessions at 6pm everyday is wonderful. The breakfast was the best ever selection I have encountered in a 5 star hotel. The prices are high (you would expect in a 5 star resort) but you get what you pay for - high quality. Gym facility is great and I just love the room!
We thoroghly enjoyed our short stay at Renaissance Phuket. The quality of their service, food and room was excellent. Ms Pu, Chef A and their team from Takieng Thai restaurant made extra efforts to assist us during our 2 visits for dinner. They could even remember the dishes we had ordered during our earlier visit! All the employees - right from the GM to the reception staff - went out of their way to make sure that every request was attended to. Sam at the concierge desk was an encyclopedia on Phuket. Ms Amp at the reception was also very helpful. Room was spacious and was cleaned twice a day. Bed was super comfortable. Breakfast spread was great with plenty of choices. We were totally satisfied with our stay and would recommend it to anyone.
Real gem, amazing pool villas...breakfast excellent. Perfect for a few days or more if you like to stay in one place. Quite far from everything, although handy for airport
We have travelled to many different countries and stayed in many 5 stars hotels, all my family members really enjoyed the breakfast, dinner at the Thai restaurant and evening cocktail here. The spread and quality of the foods, and the smiles of the waiters and waitresses make our days in Phuket.
The service is impeccable. A little far from everywhere else. Breakfast is great.

The dangerous surge of the Mississippi River is yet another reminder that the global incidence of floods is on the rise. What's more, the growing frequency and ferocity of such events suggest an ominous link with human-driven global warming. In the absence of timely action, uncommonly extreme weather will likely put all progress at risk.
Flooding and windstorms in particular are linked with climate change, and the number of disastrous floods and storms reported globally has tripled over the past three decades. Very heavy precipitation increased sharply in the last half-century across the globe and in the United States, especially the Northeast and Midwest.

Dem Party chairman responds to 'attack'
To the editor:
I find the recent negative comments attacking retired Judge David Tobin, an admired and well-regarded public servant, to be disturbing and unwarranted.
Judge Tobin did not stoop to anything... he stood up and pointed out a concern he had with comments made by our state representative, Craig Newbold. Seriously, is this where we are headed in this campaign? Are we going to attack every citizen who expresses an opinion or will we step back and allow the candidates to present their credentials, debate the issues, and let the voters decide?
Upon review of Judge Tobin's letter, it appears he was concerned that State Representative Newbold would try to explain why he voted to remove our consumer protection rights from fraudulent salesmen by using an example of a victim involved in a product liability case. Simply put, the examples used by Representative Newbold were not relevant to the bill he voted for, and the judge was concerned that our representative didn't know the difference!
Representative Newbold also used an example about a woman who sued a TV station because the weather report was inaccurate. I was shocked to find that what he didn't tell us was that the complaint was filed in Israel! Perhaps some will overlook Representative Newbold's failure to use relevant examples to explain his vote but he should be certain he knows his facts and confines his criticism to the western hemisphere.
The work of the legislature is serious business and we need our state representative to take the time to fully research and understand the issue he is voting upon. We need our state representative to make a well informed decision based upon the best interest of the people he represents. Most importantly, we need our state representative to be able to fully explain his decisions and to expect criticism when he can't.

President doesn't understand simple economics
To the editor:
It would seem we have a man in the White House who refuses to exercise any knowledge of simple economics. In his numerous speeches he has never mentioned what every American with a checking account knows, that no person or country can spend more money than is coming in and not eventually find him self in deep trouble. The president to my knowledge has never mentioned to the public our $16 trillion national debt and the consequences facing this country if we allow this horrendous amount to continue to grow. The president's many speeches are loaded with all the great things he has accomplished in the last three years and that even greater things will happen if we allow him to stay in the White House four more years.
Where is that transparency we heard so much about during those numerous campaign speeches he made in 2008? In all fairness we cannot hold Obama responsible for the entire debt, because he did inherit most of it from past administration. However the short time it took him to tack on another $3 trillion for his so called stimulus program has to be some kind of a record.
The President appears to be oblivious to what is happening around him and I believe has a strong distaste for capitalism . He has recently emphasized his feelings toward socialism with a call to the recently elected president of France "Francois Hollander" a renowned socialist in which he congratulated him on his victory.
For those who are not aware of the full meaning and extent of the Socialist state, I quote from the dictionary "A political and economic theory of social organization advocating state ownership and control of the means of production, distribution and exchange. How could anyone believe we could be better off with a system like this in place? When are we going to wake up and began learning from history? History has always been the most reliable guide when planning and shaping the future. We cannot ever afford to ignore it. Socialism has only produced bloated governments, a series of dismal failures and disappointments and has always affected the working class.
Capitalism for all its weakness and greed, allows us to function as individuals and exercise ours God given rights, and not depend on the government for all the things we should be deciding and doing for our selves.
Appreciates upkeep at Grandview Cemetery
To the editor:
What a nice looking and clean, well-kept Grandview Cemetery.
A thank-you well deserved to Tom Wright and co-workers for a job well done.
Also, flags all over look very nice. A great way to say thanks to all the men and women who served their country proud!
Golf benefit should be held locally
To the editor:
We have two golf courses in the area, Eagle Pass in New Garden and Twin Springs at Guilford Lake. The golf teams from United Local have their league play at Eagle Pass and also compete at Twin Springs Golf Course. Why would United Local's coach have a golf benefit at Edgewater Golf Course in Stark County?
We need money in our community. He could have half the teams start on Eagle Pass and the other teams start on Twin Springs Golf Course. After they play nine holes, they reverse courses and play another nine holes. When the play is over they could have something to eat and drink at Pinky's,?Mark's Landing or Guilford Lake Grille in New Garden or Guilford Lake. That would help people in our community.

Fished from about 11:00am till 3:00 pm. Walked and fished the whole stream from the parkimg area to the railroad bridge where it enters the "Sludgequahanna".
Caught 1 nice 14" male native brown by the parking area. Nice golden belly and big red spots. Didn't catch anything for another 2 hours although I did get alot of hits. Then caught a 4" native brown and another nicely colored 12" - 13" male native brown way, way, way down stream.
All in all a good day. Scenery is beautiful down in The Glen. Now only if I knew how to get the pics off my camera so I can download them to my computer to post. Stupid Motorola Razor.

OLYMPIA, Wash. - People here in the Evergreen State, Irish for the day, celebrated Saint Patrick's Day Mar. 17 in front of the Capitol Building chanting, "Protect our future, end tax giveaways!" They waved signs like "Tax the Rich," "Close the Loopholes" and one that proclaimed "10 percent Irish; 30 percent Welsh; 100 percent union."
They cheered as Robby Stern, president of the Puget Sound Alliance for Retired Americans, blasted banks and corporations for creating the economic crisis and then forcing the people to clean up their mess with savage cuts in vital programs like health, education and environmental protection.
"The American dream is under attack," Stern thundered. "Are we going to tolerate this?"
"No," the crowd roared.
"Are we going to fight back?"
It was one of a steady stream of protests in Olympia. Stern urged the crowd to return to Olympia April 5-8 for a week of protests on the theme, "We are one. Put people first."
Rev. Angela Ying, pastor of Bethany United Church of Christ near Seattle, co-chaired the rally and called for a moment of silence for victims of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan. She told the hushed crowd she has relatives in Tokyo and Fukushima she has contacted but does not know if they were evacuated following the nuclear power plant meltdown.
"We have young people, old people, children, the labor movement, people of faith, doctors, caregivers, members of the legislature," Rev. Ying said in an interview. "We are all standing in solidarity with the people of Japan and also to make our own country better."
MoveOn; the retirees' alliance; Fuse, a statewide progressive grassroots organization; locals of the American Federation of Teachers, Service Employees International Union and the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees; the Washington Community Action Network and many others joined the rally. MoveOn brought a packed bus down from the North Olympic Peninsula.
The legislature is grappling with budget deficits estimated at $5.1 billion, yet ballot initiatives pushed through by Republican extremists last November block every measure to increase revenues. It has forced draconian cuts in vital human needs programs to balance the budget.
Democratic legislators have introduced bills to end tax loopholes on out-of-state banks and another that terminates an exemption on the profits of pharmaceutical companies to save the state's Basic Health Program. The coalition is urging the Democratic-majority legislature to put it on the ballot as a referendum if they can't muster the two-thirds majority to pass it.
Rep. Bob Hasegawa, a Teamster union member representing Seattle, was one of more than a dozen state legislators who came out of the Capitol to greet the crowd. He is the author of a bill to create a state bank in Washington modeled on the State Bank of North Dakota.
"My bill has been listed as 'Necessary to Implement the Budget,'" Hasegawa said in an interview. "That means it is not subject to the normal cut off date. It's still alive and I'm working to build support for it." The retirees' alliance, the AFL-CIO and SEIU are already strong endorsers of Hasegawa's bill.
He assailed those who issued "bogus" attacks on the measure by calling it "socialist" and "unconstitutional." He said, "It's probably more important to have a state bank here in Washington than in North Dakota. Small businesses here can't get access to credit to expand their businesses and create jobs. Our community banks across the state are in trouble. A state bank could help these community banks. It would help us weather the economic crisis."
Stern read to the crowd an open letter to the governor and leaders of the legislature. "We, the people, have sacrificed enough," the letter reads. "The wealthiest in our state have not shared in this sacrifice. Millions in tax-breaks for out-of-state banks continue unabated... The state currently has 567 tax breaks on the books that cost taxpayers billions of dollars every year. Instead of cutting vital services, the legislature should be cutting billions in wasteful corporate tax breaks."
A delegation went into the Capitol to deliver the letter to the Governor and legislative leaders.
The protesters marched into the Capitol rotunda. Lynne Dodson, secretary-treasurer of the Washington State Labor Council, reported back on their meeting with the chiefs of staff of the governor and legislature. "They noted that we are not Wisconsin," she said. "But that is setting the bar way too low. The Washington Labor Council is 400,000 workers. We are the people of Washington State and we are demanding that our governor and legislature step up and provide leadership right now! We have given enough. It is time for the corporations and the wealthy to pay their fair share." The crowd cheered.

Wine Details
Wine Description
(From 2005 Vintage) Margaux du Château Margaux 2009 was produced from a great vintage, and posseses all those attributes: a deep, dark colour, a rich nose, it is voluptuous, already complex where flowery and spicy hints mingle with those of cocoa. The impression on the mouth reflects the intensity of the aromas; it is full-flavoured, rich and impressive, structured by well-softened tannins. The finish is soft, both warm and fresh. This wine is very powerful and concentrated - even more so than the first and second wines, and is quite remarkably open and easy to drink, which is probably owing to the personality of the vintage as much as to the Château Margaux terroir.
Winemaker's Notes
(From 1996 Vintage) "The 1996 Chateau Margaux, which was bottled in September, 1998, is undoubtedly one of the great classics produced under the Mentzelopoulos regime. In many respects, it is the quintessential Chateau Margaux, as well as the paradigm for this estate, combining measured power, extraordinary elegance, and admirable complexity. I tasted the wine on three separate occasions in January, and in short, it's a beauty! The color is opaque purple. The wine offers extraordinarily pure notes of blackberries, c...

When Mike was a child he attended some regular education, some special education, and mental health programs. When Mike finished his formal education in the 197O's he reported to a Psychologist that his vocational aspirations were to become a polka D.J., a TV camera-man, dark room photography, or electronic repair work. These aspirations were deemed to be unrealistic and caused Mike to be referred to a sheltered workshop. Roughly thirty years later Mike was identified as a candidate for Via's Customized Employment services. Although Mike had the skills for entry level service jobs his interests remained in Polka, dark room photography, television, and electronic repair work.
Mike along with his employment specialist began the Discovery process and spent a lot of time researching dark room photography (Mike had no interest in digital photography). Mike also learned a lot about television, and electronic repair. It became pretty clear that Mike's greatest passion was Polka music and its history. We found out that Mike new a local Polka legend whose name is Jolly Joe Timmer. Joe owns a local radio station that specializes in Polka. Joe agreed to give Mike a shot at his own one hour a week radio show which was a big hit. The problem was that to maintain the show Mike needed to bring in a certain level of advertising that we never were able to meet so we had to shut down the show. Mike and his employment specialist learned a lot about the Polka business and he now had absolutely NO interest in working a regular service job.
Soon after a newer Via staff Alan Heverly had a new idea we had not yet considered. What we had found was that Polka was a big hit with senior citizens. Alan had a sister in law who was an activity director in the nursing home industry, and was always struggling to find entertainment for her customers. Alan began to contact nursing homes and senior centers about their interest in having Mike play his music. Within a few weeks Mike had started his own Polka DJ business called "Polka Mike." Mike started out with a lot of Polka until his customers asked for big band, and dance music as well. Mike now plays Polka, Big band, dance, party, and a variety of other types of music. This spring 2010, Mike already has 7 new DJ shows scheduled at various locations. Mike is also considering adding a karaoke component to his business. Mike received financial support from the Pennsylvania Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, and a business loan from the City of Bethlehem to get his business started.
Mike continues to receive support provided by Via's Employment Reform Resource project staff. Mike's business is really starting to take off and he is ahead of schedule paying back his loan. If you might be interested in having Mike do a party you can contact his marketing director Alan Heverly at (484) 224-6280.

I wanted to know if it were possible to gain muscle while training for a marathon. If I were to just eat all of the burnt up calories from the running and get enough protein could I still building muscle?

the reason i need to build up muscle is that I have been working in ****ty areas of town and need to be more muscle/intimidating. I have already signed up for a marathon in the fall and i'm not looking to get huge, just more muscular. I have seen many runners who have very muscular bodies. do you think they used to be into weight training and then went into running? also you see a lot of triathletes with big muscles and they are also burning up a ton of calories. what do you think?

It is possible for some but not for many. Normally when i am in training for a marathon, although i still go to the gym for my regular routine, the running itself burns off so many calories that gaining muscle is just not an option. I have seen runners as well that are very muscular, but my theory to that is they have good ass genetics that allows them to burn fat without losing too much muscle. The only solution I have come up with is to try to maintain the muscle you have while in training by eating a ton of healthy food, and protein shakes, and protein bars, fruit, etc. By doing this, you should have enough to burn off while training that it will not have an effect on your muscle growth. And depending on how much you eat versus how much you train, you may or may not see new muscle growth.

This is basically what I am doing, 6 weeks to my first marathon, I have been lifting and running since Easter and have actually put on 4kg as my appetite has gone through the roof. Check my journal, was originally training for a half-marathon, now a full. At first I was trying to full-squat 80-95kg twice a week, but that just didn't leave me enough gas to take my running to the next level, so I stopped for a bit then reduced to 50kg. Now that I can run a half-marathon distance no problems, I am starting to move my squat weight up gradually. The main thing is just listen to your body really I reckon.
My current training plan is:
Sunday - long (30km+) slow-ish run
Monday - chest (hitting it hard) + lightish squats
Tuesday - back (hitting it hard) + lightish deadlifts
Wedsday - medium (~15km) mid-pace run
Thursday - shoulders/arms (hitting it hard) + lightish squats
Friday - fast ~10km run
Saturday - rest
I'm going for a 3:30 marathon which is decent for a first go, and I will be stronger than when I started (except perhaps on squats/deads, which will be possibly the same but certainly no weaker)New workout journal: The Running and Lifting Experiment

OP you are probably going to be very limited in the amount of muscle you are going to gain while training for a marathon. The amount of aerobic training that you will be performing is not conducive to gaining muscle. You will primarily be training type 1(slow twitch) muscle fibres which have a limited capacity to gain size. Also your type 2A (Fast twitch) fibres which have a combonation of aerobic & anaerobic characteristics will be trained to "lean" towards the aerobic side because of the nature of your sport. Thus, not giving you the size increases you are searching for.
Your training will have to change drastically if you want to hypertrophy. Alot more weight room work and less mileage on the road. Plus hypertrophy takes time & patience it will be limited in just a few short months.
Best of Luck in your race!!!Dan Brown BPE, CSCS, PICP Level 2 (Oct 2010)

In no way is the information given above meant to replace that of a Medical Professional. Always consult your Doctor before beginning any New Diet, Supplement or Workout program.
It is possible to maintain muscle mass as well as add muscle mass while training for a marathon. Of course genetics do play a huge roll but smart training and diet can help you achieve your goal. Keep your weights heavy, lift on your shorter run days, eat lots of protein and get plenty of sleep! I am a 36 year old women and have run 5 marathons, several 1/2's, 6 sprint triathlons, and too many 5k's to count. I competed in my first bodybuilding competition this year and did very well. The best way to participate in both is to do it in phases. Bulking phase- heavy weights, higher calories, very little cardio. cutting phase- heavy weights, lower calories, increased cardio. Every time you come off a cutting phase your body is a sponge and you will increase in size tremendously. So if you add 5% more muscle every bulking phase and lose maybe 1-2%( worst case cenario) during marathon trainig you still end up ahead and bigger year after year. Good luck, you can do anything if you listen to your body and adapt.

It is very hard to do. I've ran multiple halves, fulls and even an ultra. I try to lift hard and eat like crazy during training for my races but I always end up losing size despite my efforts. Just the way it goes for me. However, I don't really notice myself getting weaker. Not real science but it feels as if you get more dense and compact if you continue to try to add muscle. Size is going to be hard though.
Muscle and Marathon
I actually run half marathons quite often. Im 18 and I have ran 23 of them and I can tell you that it is possible to do both. It takes more dedication and more work though. I have ran 4 or 5 half marathons under 1:20, but I also weight 169 lbs. now (which is quite heavy for a runner). What I do, and it wont work for everyone is this: I work extremely hard in the gym and work hard running, but I also recover a lot.
Mon:Stretch morning- easy 5 miles / Chest and back
Tue: Fast twitch aerobic day (sprinting or fartleks) Fartleks will help a lot building endurance. 5 minutes easy 5 minutes hard, or whatever you want. Then that day I do explosive workouts with legs and core
Wed: Easy 5 miles with bicep/triceps
Thurs: OFF - I usually take an ice bath for 10 minutes. The time I usually workout is stretch nicely. Dont overextend yourself though. That will just make the day worse.
Friday: I bump up miles to 8-10 depending on how you feel. The first half is a warm up and the last half is balls to the wall. I also do a shoulder and core workout this day.
Saturday: Rest on running but I do Start the cycle back over with chest and back and let it restart as you go through your days of the week.
Sunday: Loooooooong run. Depending on your race. Halfs i do 15-16 miles. I dont go super fast, but fast enough to where my heart rate is up and Im feeling the workout. In the gym on sundays, I generally go easy because I dont want to over train them.
My calories, I take in a butt load. I eat 4 or 5 energy bars in my workouts so I get in my calories. I also take a shake after. I eat 5 medium to small sized meals because I feel bloated when I eat 3 general meals. But really.. This isnt for marathon training, its just what I do. My goal is to run the CowTown Marathon in Ft. Worth Texas in February of 2014 hoping to run a 2:59 Good luck training everyone.

I'm up for the same type of training recently. I have been working out in the gym for about 10 years now. On and Off. I'm 30y.o, 5'6, 155lbs with 15% of body fat (i think). I ran 2 half marathons (21km) within the past 10 months. I'm new to running and wants to join triathlons in the future. Anyone can help me with a specific program that could help me (at least) retain my muscles? Thanks!
I don't know if gaining muscle to look more intimidating is the best plan. There's nothing wrong with wanting to gain muscle and run but I would limit my longer runs and focus on shorter more intense workouts. I like crossfit endurance for this type of workout.Jake

Classic New England lives in Boston Common, in the White Mountains aglow with autumn colors, in the general store, the diamond at Fenway Park, and the sustainable soil of Billings Farm... in the whimsical design of the Mark Twain House and the simple gifts of the Shakers... in Augustus Saint-Gaudens' studio where images of American heroes were forged, in millwheels, covered bridges, and white-steepled churches, and the rocky soil that has long been fertile ground for thinkers, artists, writers, inventors, entrepreneurs and Revolutionaries. This is, as Dayton Duncan observes, Ken Burns's backyard: "New England has always had a special place in American history and
American thought. And New England has become Ken Burns's backyard – not
just the place where he's raised his family and made his documentaries
in the classic New England town of Walpole, New Hampshire, but also a
place intertwined with many of the stories he's told: Mark Twain, The
Shakers, Baseball, The Civil War and The National Parks: America's Best
Idea. It's a distinct region with its own beauty and its own secret
treasures – and who better to share them but one of its proudest

Paterson Proposes $2 Billion in Cuts in Health Care, Schools, Civil Service, SUNY/CUNY
Governor Paterson, assisted by Budget Director Laura Aglin, today gave broad outlines for the Deficit Reduction Plan he'll put before the November 18 special session of the legislature. They involve education, health care, SUNY and CUNY tuition, and civil service. If enacted, the Governor says, they would save $2 billion this year, $3.2 the next.
This year's rate of growth for school aid, originally projected at nine percent, Paterson proposes to cut to five percent. Health care/Medicaid growth would be cut from two to one percent.
The state would take $800 million from school districts on a case-by-case basis, with "high-needs" districts seeing lower reductions -- three percent, as opposed to nine percent seen by "low-needs" districts.
Health care reductions would be seen in hospitals, nursing, home care, pharmaceuticals, and medicaid reimbursement rates.

SUNY and CUNY tuition would be raised $600 a year. And state civil service unions would be asked for givebacks -- for example, to defer five days of salary in the fiscal year that employees would get back when they retire. Future retirement benefits may also be trimmed.
Paterson said layoffs aren't being considered now, but if he can't get sufficient movement on state employment costs, New York may lose more workers than previously planned "through attrition."
The Governor and Anglin also proposed reductions in the legislature's programs, closure of "vacant" youth facilities, and changes to the bottle bill.
The Governor says that as "New Yorkers are leaving the state" because of its tax burdens, he wants to avoid raising taxes if at all possible, though he did ay that, in the long term, he'd like to collect taxes from New York's Indian reservations.
Paterson reminded reporters that during the fat years of the 1990s and the early part of this decade, "we never stopped spending" and ran up deficits which now necessitate these "difficult" cuts.

Geologist Marek Zbik, of Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia, has discovered nano particles in dirt from the moon's surface, something not present in dirt on earth.
Zbik used a synchrotron-based nano tomograph to study dirt samples from the moon, which makes a 3-D image of the particles being studied, and found that trapped inside molecular sized glass bubbles were nano particles. Until now, scientist did not have the ability to see particles this small, therefore had no idea these nano partices existed.
In making this discovery, Zbik said it explains why dust on the moon seem to defy gravity and was able to get into every deep crevice on the spacesuits used by the astronauts and their tools, despite being wiped off repeatedly and why the moon's dirt seems to heat and cool so fast in such close proximity to different temperature environments.
Nano technology is an emerging science capable of making miniature nano sized machines capable of computing, doing work, and numerous other functions and has helped to make current technology fit into smaller and smaller packaging.
Zbik and others believe the nano particles are naturally occurring due to the millions of meteors that have crashed into it, creating rapid heating and cooling as a result of the impact that result in those molecular sized glass bubbles encapsulating nano particles.
The bubbles that were encasing the nano particles were not filled with a gas or vapor, unlike every other known type of bubble, but was a void except for the nano particle.
Some scientist have acknowledged this is a strong theory about how nano particles got on the moon and not a proven scientific fact yet. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, or roughly 100,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair.

Recap: 'Glee' - 'Blame It On The Alcohol'
Well, after last week's "Glee" debacle, I wanted to drink as much as the characters did in this week's installment, "Blame It on the Alcohol." This episode sent me back to more tried and true reactions, which left half of me wanting to toast the episode and the other hand feverishly looking for booze to numb the pain. There are times in which I've not liked an episode of "Glee" because it was either dull or offensive. Tonight's episode falls under another category of disappointment, but it's the best of my personal three. "Alcohol" left me underwhelmed due to the show's chronic inability to edit itself.
[Recap of Tuesday's (Feb. 22) "Glee" after the break...]
It's a problem that not many shows have, but "Glee" seems to excel at it. How many episodes of other shows have you seen in which you can feel the writers straining to stretch the plot out to fill the network-mandated time slot? "Glee" has the opposite problem, often shoving what could be half a season of narrative into a single hour. That gives the audience a lot to take in. Too much, in fact. Just look at how many storylines were thrown against the television screen tonight, Wacky Wallwalker-style:
1) Figgins decides to employ New Directions to help curb rampant drinking on campus, the first of its kind ever in this show
2) Rachel tries to start writing her original song, only to be stymied by lack of life experience
3) New Directions throws a drunken party at Rachel's house, in which several new interactions are teased out
4) Will deals with his loneliness through drinking
5) Blaine starts to question his sexuality
6) Burt and Kurt have their first real dealings with the physical manifestation of Kurt's sexuality
Each one of those, ON THEIR OWN, could be an episode of television. Some of them could even be great episodes. Personally, having a karaoke-style bottle episode in Rachel's Oscar-themed basement could have yielded the greatest episode of the show to date. Everything about that room represented possibility, while still staying within a recognizable reality. Yes, that basement is ridiculous, but totally in keeping with everything we know about Rachel's parents. Having a stage for them to perform gave the show every chance to have the group perform songs fueled by season-long melodramas plus Big Daddy Booze to yield some earned character shifts and maybe even breakthroughs. It was a simple, brilliant, and economical way to work through all the intra-team romantic relationships.
So, naturally, that only lasted for about six minutes, with the rest of the episode dealing with the fallout from that party. And yes, Blaine's confusion stemmed from that party, and Will's embarrassing voicemail to Sue did tie into New Directions' embarrassment onstage during "Tik Tok." Considering how walled off this show's multiple storylines tend to be, this represents something of a breakthrough, an almost "Mad Men"-esque economy of storytelling. (Relatively speaking, of course. Let's not get carried away.) It's in some ways silly to criticize this episode for being something I wish it hadn't been. But given the show's seeming inability to film anything but a first draft of the script, wouldn't have everything after Act 1 been something we could have seen next week after a lengthy, long night's musical journey into a far too bright day?
Normally here's the point in the review where I wail and moan about the show's continued insistence on spending quality air time that could be spent on the kids focused instead on the adults. And even though not every moment spent with The World's Worst Spanish Teacher was miserable (I really liked the unique energy and atmosphere of "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer"), it's still plainly clear that "Glee" is no longer his story. At least, it's plain to everyone not working on the show. This isn't a slam on Matthew Morrison so much as a slam on the way in which the show treats him.
In an ideal world, the show would treat him in the way that "Freaks and Geeks" treated its guidance counselor, Jeff Rosso. (At this moment, I fear people like Alan Sepinwall are sitting down like Obi-Wan did after the Death Star destroyed Alderaan for even mentioning the two shows in the same breath.) Rosso had his students' best interest at heart, but rarely actually connected with them in a meaningful way. Then again, "Freaks and Geeks" knew that it was a show about the kids, not the adults. So Rosso could be as meek and ineffectual as can be without hurting the show as a whole. But as long as "Glee" wants to consider the show to be about Will's journey as much as the students', then neither side really gets to shine. (Remind me: wasn't John Stamos once on this show, like, five years ago?)
With Will's storyline on the front burner this week, the Blaine/Kurt/Rachel arc got reduced to something akin to a "One to Grow On" promo. Blaine kissed a girl, and he liked it…at least under the influence of booze. That, plus a drunken sleepover at Kurt's, provided the chance for some really thorny issues of burgeoning sexuality to play out in a realistic manner. Normally I wouldn't assign such high hopes to the show, but anytime Kurt's father appears onscreen, things usually get elevated past the show's normally prosaic/didactic approach. But instead, the show opted for pat results (Blaine's confusion ends abruptly, Rachel's ecstatic about having new material for her songwriting) and the return of Kurt-as-Ryan-Murphy, lecturing his father about…well, it was unclear. When Kurt, or anyone on the show, turns from a character into a mouthpiece, I tend to tune out. (See: every time anyone in New Directions lectured Will on the hypocrisy of underage drinking.)
Some other thoughts about tonight's episode:
- I loved that Rachel's initial stabs at songwriting sucked beyond the pale. I half expected her to produce Joni Mitchell-esque results on the first try.
- Much more ambient music in this episode than in any one I can recall, which I'm sure added to the overall cost of the episode but also gave a nice sense of the way in which the people in this world pick up on the sounds around them in order to feed into their own performances.
- Finn's breakdown of the different archetypes of drunk was amusing, though not as amusing as his use of the word "archetype." (Also? It was a cheap way to avoid telling a full episode length story at the party. It's as bad as substituting analysis with a bunch of bullet points. Oh. Um. Moving on…)
- Heather Morris certainly proved her worth in "Britney/Brittany," but also stole nearly every performance she was in tonight as well. Artie is one lucky fellah.
- I'd try to come up with an in-show reason why Sue and Becky reenacted the PA announcements from "Grease," but we all know it's because someone in the writers' room threw it out there, the other two laughed, and it ended up onscreen.
- We need to come up with a name for the horrid concoction that caused half of New Directions to throw up onstage. I vote for "Flaming Schuester," but willing to open up the discussion in the comments below for better suggestions.
- "It tastes like pink!"
- I wonder if the "Glee" finale will go the way of "Seinfeld," in which a litany of past characters beaten up/pushed down stairs by Sue will appear at her trial.
In summary: less would be more on "Glee," but more will always be more for both the writers and a lot of the show's fans. They'll drink that show up the way Daniel Plainview will drink your milkshake up, drinking it until they get sick from overconsumption. But a little moderation could go a long way. All the way to Nationals, in fact.
What did you think of tonight's episode? The more, the merrier? Or too many plots spoil the broth? What role to Will and Sue truly serve at this point in the show? And did the Kurt/Blaine storyline feel forced or realistic? Sound off below!

Shane Ross: How a quango fooled the nation
Published 06/01/2013 | 05:00
Dear Hugh, You guys never lost it. God bless you and your Fianna Fail connections. Last Thursday your little orphan, Enterprise Ireland, pulled a stroke that would have left your pals in the soldiers of destiny salivating. Enterprise Ireland shot out an end-of-year statement that fooled the nation.
News was short last week. The media was struggling for the smallest scrap. During these fallow periods fantasies become fact. Your favourite agency, that great misnomer of the public service, Enterprise Ireland (EI), satisfied their appetite. You dished up a diet of "good news" that the hungry hacks swallowed hook, line and sinker.
So upbeat were the reports that an innocent observer could be forgiven for believing that EI was on the point of singlehandedly solving our unemployment problem.
RTE, that benign critic of the activities of fellow state agencies, plugged Enterprise Ireland's message on its news website: "Enterprise Ireland supported-firms created 13,600 jobs in 2012" blared out the helpful headline.
Of course that was only half the story.
Yet the state broadcaster carried the good news on every bulletin.
On RTE's Drivetime one commentator went so far as to suggest that EI itself had "created" 13,600 jobs.
Nothing of the sort had happened.
Nevertheless, Hugh, such opportunist news management by a state quango reminds me of one of your other little sidelines. Combined with your chair of Enterprise Ireland, you are on the Advisory Board of the supreme spinner, superquango National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA). You are an insider.
You were close to former Taoiseach Brian Cowen to whom you made a donation. The NTMA, like EI, is a past master at bullish "end-of-year" statements designed to fill the news vacuum during the Christmas famine.
Anyway 2012 was a great year for you personally, Hugh. While the nation was in dire straits you scooped the pool.
Not only did you manage to draw fees from Enterprise Ireland and the NTMA , you even chaired utility company Siteserv, steering it through a controversial sale.
The reality is that you had a better year than Enterprise Ireland. But you could have fooled me. While you hide your successes below the radar, EI sexes up its activities in front of a bleary- eyed post- new year media.
Granted, your pet state agency lashed out taxpayers' funds to companies where 13,600 jobs appeared. Unfortunately companies funded by EI simultaneously lost 9,800 jobs. The upside: 3,800 net jobs were created by someone – not necessarily EI.
The downside: in 2012, Ireland was paying a heavy price for money wasted by Enterprise Ireland in the past. Some 9,800 jobs are a lot to lose.
To be fair the job losses were not totally buried in the "good news" bulletins; but they were not immediately apparent until the froth you had peddled was allowed to clear, revealing the less palatable side of the story.
Skillful spinning.
The reality is far from the spin. Poor Enterprise Ireland is a grant guzzler. It has a monstrous budget of no less than €343m to "create" jobs. It receives over €300m from the taxpayer and €19m from the European Union.
Hugh, your little orphan also spends nearly €90m a year on "administration, operation and promotion". In other words, on itself. This includes your €20,000 fee. Incredibly, when EI is calculating its key cost- per- job figure of €12,000 it omits this massive €90m a year spent in hot pursuit of jobs! How convenient. The cost per job as declared is grossly understated.
If you gave €343m to a real entrepreneur like Michael O'Leary to create jobs I guess he would tell you to jump in a lake. He would insist that government agencies do not create jobs and that the whole exercise is a waste of money.
Subsidies are of doubtful value because weak businesses develop a dependence on them. They become subsidy junkies.
And talking of such dependence, I want to ask you whether in recent years you continued to prop up EI's more wobbly companies with subsidies?
Is EI still acting as a crutch for its earlier mistakes?
Is it true that EI shored up its fading ventures – branded euphemistically as "viable but vulnerable" – because your baby would look lame if past proteges collapsed under current financial pressures?
Has EI been throwing good money after bad? The 2011 accounts – signed by you, Hugh – refer to a mysterious Enterprise Stabilisation Fund for such companies "experiencing difficulties".
The funds were used to "help" these companies to survive the global downturn. . . and "to sustain employment". Was this merely a slush fund to massage the figures?
If these companies had been allowed to fail, Enterprise Ireland would have had egg all over its face. Did the new fund cushion the convalescents, thus ensuring consistent plaudits?
Not that your little quango deserves too many plaudits. Despite the frantic spinning last week the cost per job has rocketed in recent years. As measured by Enterprise Ireland itself (with its very generous, but flawed, method of calculation) each job costs the taxpayer over €12,000. Back in 2006 it stood at €4,835 . Today it has soared to two-and-a-half times that figure. Saving all those jobs from oblivion has come at a huge cost.
Worse still, Enterprise Ireland is not making even the most remote dent on Ireland's unemployment numbers. They remain obstinately stuck at 14.6 per cent – despite all the brouhaha in your press releases.
Hugh, we must ask "Do we need you at all?" Your mandate is to create jobs. You receive nearly €350m to achieve this. Instead, you buy them and parade them as trophies. Many of them do not last. A miserable 3,800 jobs costing more than €12,000 each (under a flawed calculation) is a paltry return. We already have Fas with a budget of €950m, Udaras na Gaeltachta, Shannon Development Authority and the IDA. All are funded by taxpayers. Unemployment figures are still going up. Emigration is a far greater friend to the jobless figures than any of the grant-giving quangos.
But well done, Hugh. The joint press conference – shared between your minister Richard Bruton and Enterprise Ireland – was a tour de force. Richard has unfortunately dumped his critical powers when it comes to making "good" jobs announcements in front of cameras.
This cannot be the same Richard Bruton who promised to declare war on the quangos when he was in Opposition? He even pledged to remove all quango directors within six months of reaching office.
God forbid, Hugh. You would have been one of the first for the chop. Happily Richard is suffering from acute amnesia. The quango boards are safe. You, as a Fianna Fail favourite, are still in situ – but do not expect to be reappointed. Fine Gael and Labour now regard state agencies as their own outlet for patronage. A blueshirt or a tamed comrade is likely to succeed you.
Never mind, you have had a good run . And Enterprise Ireland is still fooling the people.
Yours sincerely,
Shane Ross

In making his decision as to which person(s) and/or institutions(s) should be properly named as defendants in a professional liability suit, the one essential element that the plaintiff's attorney must properly evaluate is whether or not, for each possible defendant, negligence can be proved. The fact that a possible defendant has substantial assets, ie, insurance, will usually be persuasive in the decision regarding which possible defendants should be named in a suit when it is expected that the negligence of this defendant in this instance can be successfully demonstrated in court. Of course, if the court subsequently finds that this defendant was not negligent, his assets are not available to compensate the plaintiff for any damages he may allege.

Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad (heroes)
this wiki
|It has been suggested that this article be split into multiple articles accessible from a disambiguation page. (Discuss)
Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad are Timmy parents alter-egos created by one of Timmy's wishes. Mrs. Turner turns into Mighty Mom and Mr. Turner turns into Dyno Dad.
Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad are actually Mr. and Mrs. Turner's superhero forms, when Timmy feels the need for them. They first appeared in the episode "Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad", when Timmy was sick of his parents not having the energy to do anything after their work. However, with their superpowers, they become busier than ever, "making the city safe for Timmy," that Vicky had to babysit all night. So Timmy decided to become the world's most powerful supervillain, Galactimus, Eater of Planets, in order to get them to give up their powers willingly. However in "The Crimson Chin meets Mighty Puff and Dyno Dad", Timmy wished that his parents were superheroes again to combat the Nega-Chin and his supervillain pals. However, they were defeated once again, by Nega-Chin's Negavision.
It's suspected that they were Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad in "The Big Superhero Wish", since everyone was either a superhero or villain.
Both wear blue spandex suits with yellow capes, white belts, white boots, and Eye masks. Mighty Mom has an MM on her chest, showing her neck and torso, much like Wonder Woman, and golden bracers on her arms. Dyno Dad has a DD on his chest. In their "secret identity forms" they wear mild mannered suits and horn-rimmed glasses, like Clark Kent.

- In the first Jimmy Timmy Power Hour, which premiered three years after Mighty Puff and Dyno Dad's first appearances, Judy Neutron was hypnotized into believing she was a dirt-fighting superhero, also named "Mighty Mom." However, Judy lacked a partner similar to Dyno Dad. The closest thing she had was naming her husband Hugh as her sidekick "Lint Boy," although this was all in her hypnosis-induced imagination, as Hugh was not hypnotized like his wife.
