Looking for a good workout or a few extra miles on race day?
Then look no further than this Saturday's Tuuri 5K and 10K races in Flint.
Doing the Tuuri Double provides the same mix of hills and humidity that make it a great tune-up for next month's Crim 10-Mile race. I plan to.
Yes, it can be a little pricey to do both races, but remember all the proceeds benefit children services at Hurley Medical Center. Besides, you won't be alone. Doing the double is a tradition for more than a few area runners. Some sprint near full speed, competing for top spots in both events. Others, like me, pick one race to focus on while easing up a bit on the other.
I followed the same strategy last month during The Journal's Catch Your Breath 5K and 10K.
The 10K was first and I ran right on target, finishing in the Top 10. In the 5K, held 90 minutes after the 10K start, I paced my wife Elaine, who is pursuing her most recent running goal -- to be able to fit back in her pants. In other words, time was not the goal.
Others did the Journal Double too with different strategies in mind. Most notably, Fenton's Sue Larsen, who won both women's races, and set a new area record in the 10K.
But if you do try to do both races, be careful. I've also known people to get injured for pushing themselves too hard. Picking a more conservative pace, especially at the start of both races, should help keep you strong throughout and help build endurance for longer races, like the Crim.
Of course, whenever you do a race, remember to expect the unexpected. Last year, some runners in the 5K made a wrong turn, and essentially ran the 10K course, and they still had the 10K to do. Several still did.
Now, that's a workout.
Tuuri Race Day, Hurley Medical Center, One Hurley Plaza, Flint
Late registration -- 6:30 a.m.
5K -- 7:45 a.m.
10K -- 8:30 a.m.
1M celebration walk -- 8:45 a.m.
Kid's Run -- 10:15 a.m.
Other popular multiple races in Southeast Michigan:
If you think doing a double might be tough. On Father's Day in Plymouth, they have three races, a 1-mile, 5K, and 10K, in that order. It's called The Triple Crown and it's not easy.
And then if you really wanted a challenge and can run near a six-minute pace, you could try to do nearly all the Crim Races: the 10-mile, 8K, 5K, and 1-mile. Believe it or not, some have. The closest I've come is to do the 10-mile, 5K, and 1-mile. I did that when I was in my best shape. It also helped that I got a massage in-between races.

Occupation: Flint Journal reporter and copy editor
Running background: One year of cross country at Livonia Churchill High School in the fall of 1991 (had a crush on a girl, found out I loved running instead). Got hurt in 1992 and quit running while adding "The Freshmen 15" every year in college at Michigan State University (Go Spartans!). Rediscovered running after joining the Flint YMCA and meeting area runners who helped me to achieve all that's below.
Personal records: 16:46 (5K in 2003), 35:25 (10K in 2004), 58:42 (10M in 2004 at the Crim), 1:16:09 (1/2 marathon in 2004), 2:49:03 (marathon in 2003) -- looks like my better days could be behind me (hope not).
Running highlights: Losing about 90 pounds after not really running for about eight years/winning 12 road races in Michigan (all small field events)/completing 14 marathons (including one during an Ironman triathlon in 2004 -- yeah, it was tough, but it was worth it).
Next big race: The Crim 10-mile.

Thunder (8-6, 4-3 road) vs. Spurs (9-4, 7-2 home)
Stream: Click here
Radio: WWLS The Sports Animal (98.1 FM, 640 AM, 97.1 FM Tulsa)
Time: 8:00 CT
Know this: The series isn't over if the Thunder lose tonight. You're probably going to feel like it is, but it isn't. We've seen this story before, and there's still a positive ending. But, there's no question a Game 2 loss puts them in a deep hole, not just filled with an 0-2 deficit, but one that has doubts and worries in there as well.
The Spurs shredded the Thunder in Game 1, just affirming the concerns of playing without Serge Ibaka. Their 66 paint points was something that illustrated an inability to not just protecting the rim, but keep the Spurs from shooting anywhere but there.
Ibaka is no question an important, critical piece to the defensive puzzle for OKC, but he's not everything. The Mavericks didn't have overwhelming issues with the Spurs in the first round, and they played 6-foot-6 DeJuan Blair at center for most of the series. It's not just about protecting the rim; it's about keeping the Spurs away. Stop the man in front of you. There's no doubt that the Thunder have developed bad habits in their on-ball defense because of the safety blanket Ibaka provides, but it's time to shed that thinking. Otherwise, you're going to watch the Spurs race to the bucket all night again.
Scott Brooks said today at shootaround it's the same starting five for the Thunder and while that obviously upset a lot of people — because like a president, there's a partisan side that won't ever agree with Brooks at this point — it's probably the right move. Yes, the offense is basically a two-man show entirely, but when that two-man show is Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, you may be able to survive. The starting five was the Thunder's best defensive lineup in Game 1 (105.4 points per 100) and their third quarter was the most positive stretch of the game. There's reason to believe they can build on that.
The question is how long Brooks sticks with it, and what his second lineup looks like. Is it smallball with the first sub, or will he try and remain big against the Spurs? We never saw the Collison-Adams pairing in Game 1, which felt like a massive oversight, and I would expect plenty of floortime for them tonight.
The Thunder aren't in some must-win situation, yet. Splitting in San Antonio is obviously an important factor in having a chance in this series, but the Thunder just have to find one win at the AT&T Center. The problem with a loss here is that it turns Game 3 into a semi-legit must-win, otherwise they face the prospect of a sweep.
So, go ahead and win this one, OK?
Five Big Things
1. PTP. Protect the paint. Like Jon Snow begging Alliser Thorne to seal off the tunnels, Brooks needs to plead with his team to just keep the Spurs out. Wall it off. Force jumpers. If you're going to lose, let it be because San Antonio made 14 3-pointers, not because you let them pile up almost 70 points in the paint.
2. Smallballing. The Thunder fell in love with it a bit in Game 1, playing to the Spurs' strength of being able to expose mismatches. Smallball has its place for the Thunder, but maybe not for quite the extended run it got in Game 1.
3. PJIII? Will Brooks use him? Fans all over are calling for him, but remember, you're basically asking for a second-year player without any actual playoff experience to step up and perform in Game 2 of the Western Finals. I think Jones has a role to play as well — I might consider him starting at shooting guard — but be careful what you wish for. Perry Jones is most definitely not Serge Ibaka, so don't expect him to be.
4. Bench. The Thunder actually got decent production from the second unit in Game 1. I wouldn't anticipate Derek Fisher popping in 16 points again, so Reggie Jackson needs to have a bit more impact.
5. Adams. Only 17 minutes in Game 1. He has to play more. Would the Thunder dare try him and Perk together at once to go super big? If the Spurs are attacking at will again, might be worth a thought.
Tip at 8:00 CT. Go Please.

COLUMBUS, Miss. (AP) — The city of Columbus has unveiled a monument commemorating Catfish Alley's rich history as a commercial and cultural hub for African-Americans and a gathering place for all races.
The Commercial Dispatch reports that the sides of the monument list the names of those who ran restaurants, barber shops, dentist offices, drug stores and entertainment venues during the area's peak eras in popularity and success.
The city also added new sidewalks and a park area all done to revitalize the site.
Mississippi University for Women art professor Alex Stelios-Wills and several of his students made the mural representing the area in multiple eras.
"People showed up every day when we painted to tell us stories about the alley, to tell us what we were wrong on, to correct us and then correct us again, and to bring photographs. It really helped to be able to know about people individually," he said.
Columbus Mayor Robert Smith said there more work to complete, including the installation of festival lights to provide another element associated with the area in its heyday. He said he'd like to see historical markers placed on each side of the road.
"For the people that really know Catfish Alley that have moved away from here, when they come back they always want to come back through Catfish Alley. Now, it brings back memories and we revitalized it and they can appreciate it more," Smith said.
The late Sallie Mae Jones was one of the restaurant owners. Her daughter, Connie Brooks Jones, said the Jones family has owned businesses on that street for more than 50 years.
"(My mother) used to cook right in the front door, just about. Her menu consisted of four things: pan trout, hamburgers, beer and sodas … she started out doing special plate lunches on a Saturday. When the people from across Tombigbee River would come to town… my mother used to make a pot of soup and feed people free," she said.

With changes in the general economy have come changes in the self-storage finance world. Self-storage lenders, like those for all commercial real estate, apply more stringent underwriting standards when evaluating the potential of a construction, permanent or other self-storage loans. Even the refinancing process has become more challenging for self-storage owners, who must weigh their options and exit strategies. Some negotiate with lenders in an attempt to salvage underperforming self-storage properties. Tax issues are also a significant concern for self-storage owners. Cost segregation and 1031 exchange are possibilities to be explored. Financial and operating performance is reported quarterly by the self-storage real estate investment trusts (REITs): Public Storage Inc., U-Store-It Trust, Sovran Self Storage and Extra Space Storage.

An abortifacient used in ancient Rome is causing present-day problems.
It is the oil of a plant known as the pennyroyal, mosquito, or squawmint (Mentha pulegium). Public health officials say pennyroyal oil has been involved in three recent poisonings in Colorado, one of which was fatal.
The plant is found from Canada to Florida and at least as far west as Nebraska. Pennyroyal oil is related to turpentine and is sometimes marketed as an insect repellent or herbal fragrance. It has been used for at least 2,000 years. While its action is believed to involve irritation of the uterus and bladder, triggering reflex contractions, some users contend that, taken as an herbal tea, pennyroyal is calming and diaphoretic and induces menses. There is, however, no documentation that it can induce abortion at other than near-lethal dosage.
Julian Gold, MD, told Epidemic Intelligence Service colleagues at a recent Atlanta conference that

In a final shedding of her Posh Spice musical past, Victoria Beckham has written a heartfelt letter about her fashion dreams coming true – and how husband David inspires her new men's line.
"This past year has been amazing, not only as a mother and wife but as the Creative Director of my label 'dVb by Victoria Beckham,' " Victoria, 34, writes on her Web site. "In just under two years dVb has grown from a passionate idea into collections which are stocked in top stores around the world – something I only used to dream of."
Fueling her dream – as her label leaps the gender gap – is her spouse. "The label grows as I do," she writes. "Along with women's denim the dVb mens collection has just launched, and who better than David to be my muse!"
Moving ahead, she says, "I am looking forward to the brand developing ... I have so many ideas; patience is something I'm trying to learn but haven't got to grips with as yet!"

Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogenesis
Mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis explored at the molecular, genetic, and cellular levels. We emphasize how these relate to disease, and in so doing, we take both a medical and an evolutionary perspective. The course highlights the very fundamentals of the biology of pathogenic microbes and of the host immune defenses that have evolved to counter them.
The student will have gained perspective on what constitutes a pathogen and the complexities involved in such a definition. They will have learnt about the microbiological, molecular genetic techniques that are used to study bacterial pathogensis. They will have acquired a historical perspective of this very old discipline and have learnt to frame host-pathogen interactions in an evolutionary context.
We expect a high level of participation and intellectual engagement. The course will comprise lectures often followed by a discussion of a key paper for this area. The paper will have been assigned in the prior the class or soon thereafter. All students will be expected to have read the paper and be ready to engage in discussing it. We will also have weekly questions requiring short answers that will be handed out soon after one class and expected back at the next class in printed format. The final exam will have similar questions and will be conducted in class. Students will be assessed by their weekly problems sets, the final exam and their class participation.
Sample Schedule:
|The credentials of a pathogen or A hitchhikers guide to the host
|Intracellular lifestyles
|Exotoxins/Toxin Mediated Disease
|Specialized Secretion Systems (II,III,IV,V,VI)
|Mycobacterium and T7SS
|Secretion system effectors- plethora of cellular targets (host & other bugs), redundancy
|Regulation of virulence determinants - overview

RTC Class Schedule 2009-10: North Carolina Tar HeelsPosted by zhayes9 on September 22nd, 2009
Ed. Note: for all of the posts in the RTC 09-10 Class Schedule series, click here.
North Carolina head coach Roy Williams has been down this road before.
After hoisting his first national title on that early April night in St. Louis, Williams had to endure an eerily similar task as to what faces him this upcoming season, his seventh in Chapel Hill. The 2004-05 champions lost center Sean May, swingman Marvin Williams, point guard Raymond Felton and shooting guard Rashad McCants to the riches of the NBA, yet Williams managed, in large part to a recruiting class led by Tyler Hansbrough with returnees David Noel and Reyshawn Terry, to finish 21-6 (12-4) and in the top 15 in both polls. The situation this season parallels the tremendous overload facing Williams after his first banner. Losing Hansbrough, ACC POY Ty Lawson and sharpshooters Wayne Ellington and Danny Green, a group that made up the large portion of the Heels scoring rampage a season ago, will be difficult to overcome. Luckily for Williams, he returns some decent pieces to complement a loaded recruiting class. Not to mention he's the best coach in the nation.
North Carolina returns some high upside players that could truly emerge after playing behind the mentioned superstars of the previous few campaigns. There's senior and experienced leadership still in the fray- notably forward Deon Thompson and defensive stopper Marcus Ginyard– that should help out all of the incoming young talent on the Heels roster. Knowing he'd lose such integral pieces, Williams loaded his 2009 class with top-50 talent such as skilled forward John Henson, guards Dexter Strickland and Leslie McDonald and big men David Wear and Travis Wear. Many believe sophomore Ed Davis is a surefire lottery pick and Tyler Zeller may emerge with a healthy full season. Last year's backup to Lawson, Larry Drew II, is also back and will be the engine that controls the Heels attack.
Just because Williams has a predominantly young squad, he didn't shy away from challenging his team early and often on this year's schedule to go along with the rigors of the ACC. Let's examine:
Non-Conference Schedule Rank: 10. One way to sum up the Heels schedule this season: I'll be stunned if North Carolina isn't at the top of the strength of schedule list when we're starting to look at those types of numbers in February and March. Forget playing NCAA tournament teams Duke and Georgia Tech twice in conference play (along with contenders Wake Forest, Boston College, Clemson and Wake Forest on the road), the Heels scheduled three preseason top-ten teams on the slate for this non-conference season. It wasn't exactly planned like this; who could have planned Damion James would stick around for another year or John Calipari would completely overhaul Kentucky in such a short period of time? Still, give Williams credit for setting up these huge games against prestigious programs. North Carolina will take on possible Big Ten contender Ohio State in the semifinal of the 2K Sports Classic and likely top-15 California should they emerge victorious. Also planned is a visit to Rupp Arena to battle Kentucky in one of the top non-conference games on the season and a trip to Arlington to face Texas in Jerry Jones' new monstrosity. Both Kentucky and Texas are projected top ten teams. Not enough for you, Roy? Michigan State will visit Chapel Hill in a national title game rematch as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, another squad that could finish their season in Indianapolis.
Cupcake City: The Heels do receive a few easy warm-ups before traveling to New York in Florida International (Isiah Thomas' college coaching debut, marred by minor controversy) and North Carolina Central. Carolina also faces Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian, Marshall, Valparaiso and Albany at home while taking a trip to Charleston to face Bobby Cremins' Cougars in a rare instance of a ACC school visiting a SoCon opponent. Not exactly cupcakes, but Nevada and Rutgers also make appearances at the Dean Dome this season.

The Mets defenders couldn't stop the Royals from pushing, and they couldn't get out of their own way.
"The Mets are still starting Wilmer Flores and Daniel Murphy up the middle, which is not a double play combo that will be immortalized in poem like "Tinkers to Evers to Chance" (unless you consider angry invective scrawled on Port Authority bathroom stalls poetry). Cespedes has been fine in center field for the most part, but he will shift over for Juan Lagares in late innings. Conforto and Granderson are both above average in the corners. The hidden defensive issue might be how the Mets control the running game. The 2015 Royals are not quite as aggressive on the bases as the 2014 edition, but Travis d'Arnaud is only average at best throwing out runners, and both Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard have had issues holding runners on."

How Ben Zobrist and Michael Conforto stole the show in a game that swung the Royals' way late.
In the waning days of May 1981, Ben Zobrist entered the world in Eureka, Illinois, about 130 miles southwest of Chicago. Twelve years later and 2,000 miles further west, in Woodinville, Washington, Michael Conforto joined Zobrist here on Earth for a few shared revolutions of the sun.

How Yost kept his oath.
When we talk about the decisions managers make in big games, we probably spend too much time on the mistakes. It's true that the first tenet of good managing tends to coincide with the first line of the Hippocratic oath: "First, do no harm." Still, sometimes a team needs good guidance, or the right button pressed at the right time, in order to get the result it deserves on a given night. So before we talk about the things Terry Collins and the Mets should have done differently in Saturday's Game Four loss to the Royals, let's talk about the things Ned Yost did right.
November 1, 2015 12:37 am
A rematch of Game One's starters is now a must-win for New York.
After a heartbreaking 5-3 defeat in Game Four, the Mets will try to stave off elimination in Game Five while the Royals will attempt to bring the title back with them to Kansas City. Whatever the result, this will be the final game played at Citi Field this year.

Yordano Ventura's strength has arguably become his weakness.
Early in Major League II, while the team is still in spring training, Jack Parkman, Cleveland's prized free agent acquisition, steps in against staff ace Ricky Vaughn. Vaughn is fresh off leading the American League in strikeouts, and makes his living throwing fast fastballs, and lots of them.

It's that guy who's still a prospect versus that guy who's still in the majors.
The Mets got back in the series with a 9-3 drubbing of Kansas City last night. A win tonight would even the series and make it a best-of-three, but the Royals offense has been a horror movie villain that sits back up after you shoot it in the chest all postseason, and it is Halloween night.
October 31, 2015 2:29 am
Wright's game-setting homer was more impressive that you might realize, and the Mets get back in the series.
By the time David Wright stepped to the plate in the bottom of the first inning of Game Three, the Citi Field inhabitants had plenty of reasons to feel down about the Mets' chances of winning the World Series. In addition to a 2-0 series lead, the Royals had pushed a run across in the top half of the inning, giving them another early advantage. But Wright's at-bat seemingly changed the feel of the game and—depending on how these next few games go—could be credited with altering how the series played out.

I told my brother I was reviewing a film called Trash Humpers, and he said, "Oh, they're probably using 'hump' to mean carrying or hauling, like, 'I gotta hump this trash out to the landfill.'" And I told him that knowing what I do about the filmmaker, no, it's probably about people who literally hump trash. In fact, I said, I should be grateful if the trash humping is the least unpleasant thing that happens.
The filmmaker is Harmony Korine, who wrote Larry Clark's Kids and Ken Park and made his own Gummo, Julien Donkey-Boy, and Mister Lonely. He's a provocateur, a mix of John Waters, Werner Herzog, and Lars von Trier, only (in my opinion) not as talented as any of them. Trash Humpers is not only pointless but, it would seem, intentionally pointless, a tedious slog that appears to have been made for the express purpose of annoying the audience. It succeeds at that, so I guess I have to give it a good review.
The title characters are three, or sometimes four, elderly people who wander the streets of an unnamed city humping trash cans and screeching. It is unclear what, if any, sexual pleasure they derive from the humping. They don't speak much. Mostly they just make screeching noises and destroy stuff (discarded electronics, an abandoned house, and so forth). Sometimes they peep through people's windows. One of them videotapes their activities, and the movie is in the form of "found footage," meant to look like a battered old VHS tape. (In that case, Korine shouldn't have shot it in widescreen, but never mind.) These senior citizens, by the way, are played by young actors in ghastly prosthetic makeup. I'm not sure we're ever really meant to buy them as old people; they make no attempt to walk or move like anything other than young actors. As they wander the city, they encounter several other vaguely repulsive figures: a fat kid in a necktie and glasses whom they teach to beat up a baby doll; a pair of twins conjoined, sort of, at the head; a white-trash loudmouth who tells racist jokes. But don't worry -- despite these diversions, the film always comes back to its core message of trash humping. Korine has a vision, and that vision includes a lot of trash humping, and he does not fail to convey that vision. To add dialogue or a story or character names would only detract from the purity of Korine's central conceit, i.e., that he wanted to make a movie where the only thing that ever happens is that some old people hump trash cans.
What's disappointing, even a little surprising, is that Trash Humpers isn't gross or obscene or shocking. It's just BORING. When it got to the scene where some obese topless hookers are fondling an old man while one of them sings "Silent Night," I thought, "Ah, yes. Here we go." It's distasteful, but at least it evokes a reaction. But it's the only scene like that. The rest of the movie isn't nearly as weird or interesting or repellent as that. Korine's going for a different kind of provocation here, daring the audience to put up with his mindless idiocy. What he achieves is kind of a neat trick: The film is only 78 minutes long, yet it's the longest movie I've ever seen.

Earlier this month, a report was released by the Ohio Substance Abuse Monitoring Network. The headline, carried by newspapers and other media around the state, varied a bit, but the message was the same: "Drug dealers buying prescription painkillers from Ohio senior citizens."
The scenario goes something like this: Having trouble making ends meet-paying their bills and eating-- senior citizens across the state are being approached by a drug dealer who convinces his senior citizen mark to sell their pain medication (Oxycontin, et al). That drug dealer may take them to the doctor where the elderly patient complains of pain and gets a prescription for a potent painkiller, then take the patient to the pharmacy to fill the prescriptions and buy the medications when they walk out the door.
"These people, they really know no boundaries. They have no ethics in what they'll do to obtain their pain medication," said Thomas Gorman, assistant special agent in charge for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration for Kentucky and southern Ohio. He said the recruitment of seniors as a source is one of many tactics used by drug dealers around the country.
But senior citizens, when caught doing such activities, have been busted and found themselves in court for selling their painkillers to street dealers.
"Drug dealers around Ohio are developing new sources for prescription painkillers by buying them from senior citizens, sometimes as the patients leave pharmacies," said the report. Ohio's prescription painkiller epidemic is continuingand may be getting worse. Because these prescription drugs are harder to get, many addicts are moving to heroin because it's cheaper and easier to access. And the problem has been reported in Dayton, Youngstown and Toledo.
Why are senior citizens involved in this market? They need the money to make ends meet, to live. But at what price? What if their teenage grandchild died of an overdose from the opiates they sold to a street dealer? They would probably never know because they aren't thinking of faces and people and the consequences of selling those pills to someone else.
Drug overdoses now kill more people than do crashes, according to published reports. The Ohio Department of Health advises that of 1,400 deaths due to drugs in 2009, 750 of those deaths involved heroin and medications like oxycodone, morphine, methadone and hydrocodone. Some reports say the painkillers are easier for teens to get hold of than beer in Ohio's Scioto County. And one in 10 babies born in that county is addicted to drugs. The state is concerned about the statistics. The situation has become so serious a public health emergency was declared last year.
The Columbiana County Coroner report in 2008 advised that there was a significant jump from 37 drug and alcohol-related deaths in 2007 to 69 in 2008: East Liverpool, 9; Salem, 8; Columbiana and Wellsville, 7, and the other cities, less.
Of those deaths, 47 were male and 22, female. The four most prominent drugs were ethanol, cannabinoids, cocaine, and morphine. Drug-related deaths peaked between ages 30 and 40. In 2009, drug and alcohol-related deaths were: East Liverpool, 12; Salem, 14, and Wellsville, 8. Drugs related to deaths were marijuana, alcohol, morphine, hydrocodone (Vicodin) and cocaine.
From the cradle to the grave, there are consequences for substance abuse. It's never a good idea to take someone else's prescribed medication, but a street dealer won't care about that. Don't assume that because the problem is so bad in Scioto County it isn't a problem here in Columbiana County.
"Drug and alcohol deaths are a growing problem in Columbiana County, Ohio and the nation," advises the Coroner's report.
The state has a new law that cracks down on pain management clinics, aka pill mills, which health officials say are contributing to hundreds of overdose deaths in Ohio each year. The DEA recently suspended prescription-writing for some doctors in southern Ohio.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Nov. 12, the American Medicine Chest Challenge will be held in communities across America to raise awareness about the dangers of prescription drug abuse. You can drop off your unwanted, unused or expired medications at Salem Medical Center which is across the street from the hospital or at the main entrance of East Liverpool City Hospital, 425 W. Fifth St. Last year law enforcement officers at this event collected 670 pounds of solid, liquid and aerosol medications and 27 pounds of pill containers. For more information about this event, contact the Columbiana County Drug Task Force (330-424-0309), Columbiana County Health Department (330-424-0272), Columbiana County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board (330-424-0195), Family Recovery Center, 330-424-1468; East Liverpool City Hospital (330-386-2006 or Salem Community Hospital (330-332-7152).
For more information about substance abuse, contact Family Recovery Center at 964 N. Market St., Lisbon; phone, 330-424-1468; or e-mail, firstname.lastname@example.com. FRC is funded, in part, by ODADAS (Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services) and United Way of Northern Columbiana County.

Pomaikai Elementary School bid farewell Monday to Principal Rene Yamafuji, who opened the Kahului school seven years ago.
A farewell assembly was held on the campus to send her off into retirement in the "Pomaikai Style," a news release from the school said. Pomaikai is the first and only public elementary school on Maui to employ an arts integration curriculum. Teaching could involve dancing to illustrate a math concept or painting while listening to the "William Tell Overture," according to the school website.
"At Pomaikai, the arts are integrated to support the whole child by engaging a variety of intelligences, learning styles, experiences and backgrounds," according to the website.

Pomaikai Principal Rene Yamafuji joins 2nd-grade teachers and students to dance the obon number "Tanko Bushi" on Monday, her last day at the school.
Yamafuji is retiring after 30 years in the public school system, the last seven at Pomaikai.
In that spirt, each class prepared a farewell performance that included chants, improvisation, songs and dance. Yamafuji stepped off the stage to join 2nd-grade teachers and students as they performed the Japanese obon number "Tanko Bushi."
"She had a vision of grand ideas," said emcee Shandon Obregon, a 5th-grader. "Her vision was of a school that we know today as Pomaikai Elementary. She moved mountains in ways that allowed for the arts to be taught in the classrooms. . . . Day in and day out, she showed up to lead our school to be a campus known for its unique, creative and exciting ways."
Yamafuji came to Pomaikai from Kula Elementary and has 30 years in the state Department of Education.
Bernice Takahata, formerly the principal of Haiku Elementary School, today officially became principal of Pomaikai, a kindergarten-to-grade 5 school.
"I will be seeing you around the island," Yamafuji told the audience while offering her thanks.

CARE Knows How to Light the Night in Places Without Access to Electricity
Solar lamps are a simple, fundamental intervention that can improve the lives of the rural poor in Rwanda.
Having no electricity, families traditionally rely on kerosene or battery power to light their homes at night.
These energy sources are not only expensive – even unaffordable to families living on less than $2.50 a day – but also present environmental, health and safety concerns.
Supported by the Marshall-Reynolds Foundation, CARE's Clean Lighting Initiative introduced solar lamps as a potential market-based solution for communities within six districts of Rwanda's Eastern province.
CARE partnered with solar lamp distributor Digitech Solutions, selected and trained a network of 90 village agents – trustworthy Village Savings and Loan Association or community leaders – to sell the product and implemented a solar lamp business strategy based off of the lamps' environmental, health, cost and safety merits.
Just $55 buys a lamp with solar batteries. Give a gift today! >

It wasn't a great day for Arsenal on Saturday. The Gunners lost 6-3 at Manchester City, and also saw central defender Laurent Koscielny stretchered off.
The least Arsenal players could do was applaud travelling fans after the game, but—according to the Mirror's John Cross—Mesut Ozil failed to do so:
Wow. Rarely see that. Mertesacker bawling out Ozil for not applauding away fans. No wonder Mertesacker such a hero among Arsenal fans.— John Cross (@johncrossmirror) December 14, 2013
Here's a picture which appears to show Ozil's fellow German international Per Mertesacker reading him the riot act:
BFG angry at Ozil for not going and clapping the Arsenal away support. Love the passion from Per! pic.twitter.com/8HSOwWeOZL— Gordon (@Arsenal_Supremo) December 14, 2013
Little wonder these are those who think Mertesacker deserves to be wearing the captain's armband.
Later on Saturday, Ozil offered this apology via his official Facebook page.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was wasn't worried about a possible breakdown between Ozil and Mertesacker. "That is the Germans, they will sort that out between themselves," he said, as per NBC Sports.

Train in any weather.
Cold weather riding can present some serious challenges, and for many, it's a great time to cross train or recover from a tough season. But keeping up your base miles throughout the winter could be the difference between finding yourself on the podium in your first early spring race or looking up at it. Sugoi makes its RS Zero Long-Sleeve Women's Jersey to get you outside on the days when most people would stay inside on the trainer, using a mix of fabrics that will keep you warm and dry so you can focus on training.
At the back and sides of the jersey you'll find Sugoi's MidZero fabric, which is employed for its excellent breathability and its ability to pull moisture quickly away from your skin. This soft medium-weight fabric features a brushed inner layer that wicks sweat to the surface to create a warm and dry micro-climate, while the outer-layer has a stronger, abrasion-resistant face. It also provides full-motion stretch without adding bulk, so you're able to layer the RS Zero or wear it alone.
At the sleeves and chest, Sugoi opts for the lightweight Firewall 180 to add superior wind-resistance to the Zero RS without sacrificing breathability. A light brushed interior assists with thermal regulation, while a PU coating keeps the wind and light rain at bay.
The jersey's full-zip front ensures an easy entry and exit and allows for on-the-fly temperature adjustments, while three generous rear pockets provide storage for large items like a wind vest, gloves, and warmers. A signature hem gripper around the waist keeps the fabric from climbing up and exposing your skin to the elements. As a finishing touch, Sugoi adds reflective accents to help you stay visible to motorists on the road.

Great cool weather jersey
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
The first one I ordered was an extra large and didn't fit, then oreded a large. It fits like a second skin. Perfect for cold weather rides, the soft fleece lining wicks away moisture at a fast pace and it will keep you warm on the desents. And it looks great too.
I would recommend it to a friend.
It's neon pink, not magenta as pictured
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
Even though I was disappointed, when it arrived to see that color was bright neon pink and not magenta (dark pink) as pictured on the website, I decided to keep this jersey. The fit and quality are very nice and I really love the windproof chest and arms.
... looks like you got a completely different jersey...waistband is different, color, etc. Torso looks short too. Thanks for posting.
This picture is not at all like the item in the photo (as richcoast notes below). Did Competative Cyclist make any acknowledgement of this?

ACC Week 9 Wrap Up
Back in the hunt for a bowl game, visiting Virginia (5-3, 2-2) held on to beat Miami (4-4, 2-3), 28-21, Thursday night in Florida. Cavaliers' QB Mike Rocco kept the offense balanced while RB Perry Jones did all that was asked, running for 67 yards, throwing a 37-yard scoring pass and putting the game away with a 78-yard TD. It was a strange game for the Canes. QB Jacory Harris had no miscues and threw for 311 yards and three scores but RB Lamar Miller and the running attack were stuffed. The hosts got behind early and didn't have the plays or the momentum to carry the day.
Host Florida State (5-3, 3-2) shut out NC State (4-4, 1-3), 34-0, Saturday afternoon in Doak Stadium. The defense was great, not allowing a thing on the ground and holding the Wolfpack to 36 rushing yards. The offense, behind a spectacular performance by QB E.J. Manuel, pushed the visitors all over the field. Manuel finished 25 of 34 for 321 and two TD's while the Noles' defense got three turnovers and held the Pack to 166 yards of offense in the shutout. The win was FSU's third straight blow out and quite a dandy bounce-back from a 0-3-season start.
Visiting #12 Virginia Tech (8-1, 4-1) had trouble putting points on the board but did just enough to win, besting Duke (3-5, 1-3), 14-10, Saturday afternoon. The win secured the Hokies' ACC-record 11th straight road victory but it wasn't a runaway as the Blue Devils hung around throughout. Tech QB Logan Thomas was 17 of 28 for 190 yards with two picks and the Devils shut out the Gobblers in the second half. Duke plays hard but doesn't have much to show for it. The Devils had chance after chance but couldn't come up with big plays – a consistent pattern this season. The rushing of VT's David Wilson (148) was the difference in this contest. He stands as the ACC's leading rusher and has six straight 100-yard games.
Clock management and ball control were especially significant as host Georgia Tech (7-2, 4-2) outplayed and upset #6 Clemson (8-1, 5-1), 31-17, Saturday night in Bobby Dodd Stadium. Tech QB Tevin Washington ran the triple option superbly as he rushed for 176 yards with a score. He was his best on third down, picking up several key first downs on QB draws. But the Jackets' defense won the game even though they allowed 443 yards. Pressure was put on Clemson QB Tajh Boyd all night resulting in 2 QB sacks, two INT's and many forced incompletions. The Bees snapped an ugly two-game losing streak.
In a snow storm, visiting Boston College (2-6, 1-4) got its first ACC win of the season, beating Maryland (2-6, 1-4), 28-17, in College Park Saturday afternoon. The Eagles finally got a running game going on the legs of sophomore Rolandan Finch who cranked out 243 yards and two scores. BC controlled the clock on offense while the defense came up with four turnovers. For the Terps, QB C.J. Brown (2 of 6 for 14 yards) got the start but couldn't move the ball so Danny O"Brien was brought in. He didn't fare much better finishing 14 of 35 for 165 yards and one TD. The loss marks Maryland's 4th in a row.
Host UNC (6-3, 2-3) took advantage of miscues and blew out Wake Forest (5-3, 4-2), 49-24, Saturday afternoon to end a 2-game losing streak. RB Giovani Bernard set the tone with 154 yards and two scores for his 6th 100-yard performance. The bowl-eligible Tarheels capitalized on five Deacon turnovers (3 INT's by QB Tanner Price) and converted four of those into touchdowns. UNC's offense was great top to bottom tallying a season-high 562 total yards as QB Bryn Renner was outstanding completing 21 of 28 for a career-high 338 yards and three scores. Deac's Price threw for 146 before being pulled early in the fourth quarter.

In 1969, after a lifetime of study of the epilepsies, Dr. Henri Gastaut's clinical work was interrupted by his appointment as Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Marseille, France. He had been eminently successful in persuading the International League Against Epilepsy and the World Health Organization to create international classifications, first of epileptic seizures and then of the epilepsies, based upon his 18,000 clinical cases whose diagnoses were confirmed by 100,000 electroencephalographic tracings. Therefore, the task of writing a definitive textbook on epilepsy was assigned to Dr. Roger Broughton, based on Dr. Henri Gastaut's clinical material. This Dr. Broughton, now Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa, an associate of Dr. Gastaut's from 1962 to 1964, has done beautifully.

Wells Fargo Center is a building located in Denver, Colorado, United States. It resembles a cash register and is known locally as the "Cash Register Building". It is 698 feet (213 m) high, the third tallest building in Denver.[1] It is shorter than the Republic Plaza building 714 feet (218 m) and the CenturyLink Tower, at 709 feet (216 m). The building sits on a hill, making its overall elevation higher than the two taller buildings, but its ground-to-roof height is less. It is 52 stories tall.
The building was designed by architect Philip Johnson and was completed in 1983. As it was originally designed for a downtown area in Texas, a heated roof is necessary to prevent snow from accumulating and sliding dangerously off the curved crown. Located at 1700 Lincoln Street, a skybridge over Lincoln Street connects the Wells Fargo Center to the building at 1700 Broadway which houses a food court, a small museum featuring artifacts, and memorabilia from Wells Fargo history, and the Downtown Denver branch of Wells Fargo Bank. Both buildings have large atriums constructed in the same cash register style.
The building has its own unique zip code, 80274.[2]

I'm on the reset too, but I've never been able To eat a full 50 gr. I think I do about 40 and that keeps me full for about 6 hours. It's really hard to eat that much for breakfast!
i just tryed today to eat the 50 gramms of protein for breakfast how do people get that much in?
i would say iam a quite hungry person, especially in the morning and i love meat. i had some horse meat with leeks and a mini banana in butter *yummi* and one hard boiled egg. this is around 40 gr. of protein, and i could not even finish the meat. left out meat worth of at least 10 gr. of protein, so probably had around 30gr.

@Bettie, drop the leeks and banana. You don't really want to eat any carbs whatsoever at breakfast. Also when you cook your meat, you want to use coconut oil.
Horse? Where did you get that? All the slaughter houses where shut down by the crazy bug and bunny counters...
I totally understand where you are coming form though, its alot of protein. 4 eggs is just 24 grams! I think a flat 50 grams for everyone is a blanket statement - maybe that will work for men and mesomorphs but should be adjusted based on individual tolerance.
Might be best to just ensure that the majority of your breakfast is protein and call it a day. Leaner protein should help also.
Geostump - Per Protein Power, breakfast is the best time to have carbs as your body is more insulin sensitive in the morning. I also really don't see anything wrong with leeks of all things.
Check out - Jack Kruse and the leptin reset thread in the Nutrition forum. With the reset, you must eat 50g of protein for breakfast with little to no carbs. You're allowed as much carbs as 50g total for a day but should ideally keep it under 30. The idea of eating 50g of protein within 30 minutes of waking is this: It keeps you from wanting to snack in between meals and gorging on sugar and starches. You also want to space lunch minimally 5 hours after breakfast and dinner 5 hours after lunch but eat dinner 3 hours before bed. Leptin is the master hormone and if you have issues such as being insulin resistant, PCOS, hashimoto's and other autoimmune disorders you want to fix leptin first as all the other hormones that are out of whack will fall in line. If you are making yourself become leptin sensitive you will then become more insulin sensitive which is what we all want.
I should know. I am IR and PCOS. I have pretty much cleared up the majority of my PCOS symptoms and my IR. Before the reset and while I was following primal, my average fasting blood glucose levels were around 120, they are now 104 which is fairly normal or close to normal.
Make yourself a 6 egg steak omelette.
Bam! 50g protein.
if you have meat at dinner, save some for breakfast.
50g protein is easy.

The 50g protein is a good target. Obviously if you do that and you still fill full at 2 pm and think you did too much breakfast, adjust it a bit. The world won't come to an end.
thanks for your answers!
the breakfast today was more of a brunch, i normally don't cook veg and fruits in the morning!
well i will try to go as near as possible to the 50gr. maybe i have to work my way up will have a proteinshake + some meat or eggs.
geostump, i have pcos myself, good to hear that the leptin reset helped you with that. oh and i do use coconut oil a lots but i like butter too. i get a really fresh raw butter from a farmer, its so delicious!
ragout, horse you get here (switzerland) everywhere, i love it! but when i was in the u.k. i felt bad to even talk about eating horses, the english love them too much i guess :-)
Dr. Bork, i think a 6 egg steak omlette in the morning and i would feel sick all day. i can't really eat that much in one meal, especially not eggs. even my 150gr. horse steak had only 30gr. no way to eat 1,5 of them!

count me as one of those who get the willies at the thought of eating horse. I don't know why b/c i'm not really a "horse-y" person at all, actually i'm somewhat intimidated by them having tried to ride one a long time ago, but i just couldn't really knowingly enjoy eating horsemeat. It would have to be a survival type circumstance. Horses just look too noble or something for me to consider them as food. Even tho realistically, they're just meat bags like everything else.

NEW YORK -- Just a few months ago, the parking lot at Jacob Riis Park on New York City's Rockaway seashore was filled with happy beachgoers.
Now, it is home to a mountain of misery from superstorm Sandy -- a growing pile of garbage containing everything from mangled appliances, splintered plywood and sodden drywall to shreds of clothing and family photos.
The seagull-pecked pile, at least two stories high, three quarters of a mile long and fed by an endless caravan of dump trucks, is just part of a staggering round-the-clock operation along hundreds of miles of coastline to clear away the mangled mess of homes, cars and boats so the rebuilding can begin.
Three weeks in, it is an effort that has strained the resources of sanitation departments and landfill operators, and caused headaches and heartache for thousands of families in the sprawling disaster zone.
The lucky have only had to empty their basements of soggy belongings. Others have been forced to strip their flood-ravaged homes down to the studs and pile drywall, furniture, clothing and appliances on the sidewalk.
"We've seen people put virtually all their worldly possessions at the curb," said Mike Deery, a spokesman for the town of Hempstead, which includes several beach and bay hamlets on Long Island's South Shore. "We've gone down streets and picked up the entire contents of homes, and come back the next day and have it look like we haven't been there in months.
"In the three weeks since the storm, New York City alone has removed an estimated 271,000 tons of wreckage from flooded neighborhoods. That doesn't include the downed limbs and trunks of some 26,000 damaged trees.
New Jersey shore towns have been adding to big piles of rubble just like the one at Jacob Riis. One of the biggest ones, in Long Branch, reaches nearly three stories into the sky from a vacant lot a block from the ocean.
As of Friday, auto insurance companies had reported storm damage to at least 52,000 vehicles, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Many of those cars floated on the tide and were left smashed, silt-filled and strewn across sidewalks and yards.
In Long Beach, N.Y., a barrier island city of 33,000 people that was completely inundated by the storm surge, public works crews worked 16-hour shifts to scoop up hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of sand that had buried city streets. The mountain of silt they have created now stands five stories high.
In New York, the city's regular army of 6,000 sanitation workers has been supplemented by battalions of private contractors, hired under a $92 million FEMA contract administered by the Army Corps of Engineers.
Boats ripped free by the tide pose another challenge. In Broad Channel, a maritime village built on an island in the middle of New York City's Jamaica Bay, a motor yacht with the words "S.S. Minnow" spray-painted on its side sat partially blocking traffic on the only road in and out of the community for two weeks before it was hauled away.
Up and down the coast, sanitation crews have been working seven days a week, including holidays, since the storm hit, starting before dawn and continuing into the night, when the task of handling nail-studded debris gets dicey.
On New York City's heavily flooded Rockaway Peninsula, home to 115,000 people, private contractors have been in a race against mold. "Every last one of these houses needs to have [this] done," said Stephen Wagner, owner of Specialized Cleaning and Flood Restoration of Rochester, N.Y., as he worked to rip out the inside of a flooded Rockaway building.
Living in a home with mold can cause health problems such as skin and eye irritation, a stuffy nose or shortness of breath, particularly for people with asthma or allergies. Ideally, homes would have been gutted within 48 hours -- an impossibility because of the magnitude of the damage.
The floodwaters left behind a nasty mess of contaminants. New York City's deputy mayor of operations, Cas Holloway, said the beach sand that was scooped off the streets has to be checked for contamination from such things as fuel oil. "You can't just put that stuff back on the beach," he said.

Senior Ryan Bush and the Salem Quakers had a season to remember.
Bush, who set all of Salem's scoring records this season, is the Morning Journal's 2012-13 All-Area boys basketball player of the year.
Salem headlines the All-Area team as Bush is joined on the first team by Salem senior Anthony Shivers and Rich Hart is the coach of the year.
"After last year, we lost 10 to 11 games at the end and that kind of possessed this group to get better," Hart said. "And they did."
The Quakers finished with a 19-7 record, their third winning season in 15 years. Only five other Salem boys basketball teams have ever won more games.
See Sunday's Morning Journal for the complete All-Area boys team.
