Missing Boy's Mother Fights Delay
The biological mother of a missing Oregon boy says her civil suit against the boy's stepmother should move forward. Desiree Young says in a motion to be filed in court on Thursday that Terri Horman should not be allowed to delay Young's suit by two years.Horman asked for the delay last month, saying a criminal investigation should conclude before Young's suit goes forward.
Kyron Horman was age 7 when he vanished from a June 2010 science fair and investigators have found no trace of him. Young contends Horman knows where the boy is. She is trying to force Horman to give information about him. Police have not named Horman as a suspect or filed charges but have focused on her during the investigation.

My Review of The Fan House
Normally, the beginning of the work week for any nine-to-five worker goes the same way: coffee, exhaustion and melancholy over the end of the weekend. This week was different. I felt quite rejuvenated and ready for the week ahead. Why, you ask? During the Vermont Fine Furniture and Woodworking Festival this past weekend in Woodstock, Vermont (blog post to follow soon) I was able to stay at the lovely Fan House, a bed and breakfast in Barnard, Vermont.
Now, I should say that with being an FFA member, I am well-versed in hotel stays. I actually enjoy staying in hotels and take pleasure in having a little break away from my own bed. But this was my first time staying at a B&B, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. Do I have to check in? (you don't.) Should I bring my own towels? (You don't.) What I received was much better than anything I could have hoped for. Beautifully decorated rooms, luxurious linens, countless amenities and locally-sourced, delicious meals in the morning make the Fan House the perfect getaway for a weekend in the Green Mountains. Or should I say colorful mountains because with fall foliage just beginning, the hills surrounding Barnard were alive with shades of red, orange and yellow.
Sara Widness, steward of the Fan House, was welcoming and kind, a great example of Vermont hospitality that I've come to love. I grew up in the city, so being welcomed into a strangers home for the weekend and having them make my bed and serve me meals was a very new experience. Sara was a pleasure to talk with in the morning during breakfast and had great knowledge about the "must-see" places in the area. The Fan House felt like being at home. It was comfortable and peaceful, which was exactly what I needed this weekend.
Each room has it's own antique feel with comfy quilts, artfully-aged furniture and subtle decor. The three upstairs bedrooms each have their own private bathrooms so I slept peacefully through the night without any interruptions. Each morning during our planned breakfasts, I met and conversed with people who were all travelling to Vermont for different purposes. One morning we sat and enjoyed Sara's wonderful corn pancakes and oatmeal with yogurt and then ventured outside to enjoy the sun rising over the red hills. I also got to meet (and play with) Sara's canine housemate, Happy Chappy, who served as a joyous greeter to The Fan House. But to all of those non-dog-lovers, Chappy stays in his own part of the house and only comes out if the rest of the guests are okay with his company.
In summary, The Fan House made a fan out of me. I don't think I could ever look at a hotel room the same way again.

If you can�t stop going to the bathroom, you could have urinary incontinence. Take this quiz to get the facts on this common condition.
An estimated 25 million Americans experience some form of urinary incontinence. If you�re spending more time going to the bathroom than you think is normal, take this quiz to learn more. The answers are at the end of the quiz.
1. Urinary incontinence (UI) is
a) a natural part of aging.
b) more common among women than men.
c) almost always painful.
2. On average, a typical man waits how long from the first time he experiences symptoms until he discusses them with his doctor?
a) 1 year
b) 4.2 years
c) 6.5 years
3. Urine is stored in the bladder. How much can the average adult�s bladder hold?
a) � cup
b) 1 cup
c) 2 cups
4. One type of incontinence is stress urinary incontinence (SUI). It can be triggered by
a) watching a funny movie on TV.
b) pressure at work.
c) lack of exercise.
5. Another common type of incontinence is urge incontinence, sometimes known as
a) gallstones.
b) overactive bladder.
c) urinalysis.
6. The urge to urinate can come from
a) drinking too much water.
b) not drinking enough water.
c) both a and b
7. To relieve urinary incontinence, your doctor might recommend that you limit your consumption of
a) spicy foods.
b) chocolate.
c) both a and b
8. To treat urinary incontinence, your doctor might recommend exercise to strengthen your
a) kidneys.

c) arthritis
10. To treat incontinence, surgery is
a) always necessary.
b) usually necessary.
c) rarely necessary.
RELATED: Lisa Rinna's Campaign for Incontinence
1. b. The number of women who report symptoms of urinary incontinence is about three times the number of men. Although it affects older adults, it�s not a normal part of aging. Typically, urinary incontinence is not painful. If you experience pain or notice other changes when you go to the bathroom�such as blood in your urine�consult your doctor immediately.
2. b. Men experience symptoms of urinary incontinence for an average of 4.2 years before being diagnosed by a physician. Women wait an average of 6.5 years! Delaying treatment won�t make it less effective, but there�s really no reason to wait.
3. c. The average person�s bladder holds about 2 cups of urine. Most people feel the first urge to urinate when the bladder contains just about 1 cup of urine.
4. a. The �stress� in SUI has nothing to do with mental or emotional strain. It refers to stress on the bladder muscles that leads to urine leakage. Strenuous activities�such as lifting heavy objects or a vigorous workout�can create this stress, but ordinary things such as coughing, sneezing or laughing can cause it too. If you�ve ever wet your pants laughing, you know what we mean.
5. b. Urge incontinence is the sudden need to urinate and the inability to �hold it� until you reach the toilet. It can be related to a separate illness or condition, such as a urinary tract infection, Parkinson�s disease, Alzheimer�s disease or stroke. If not associated with another condition, it�s commonly called overactive bladder.
6. c. Consuming a lot of liquids increases your need to urinate, so you might be tempted to cut back on your fluid intake if you�re suffering from incontinence. Surprisingly, that�s not a smart strategy. When your body is dehydrated, your urine becomes concentrated, which can irritate your bladder and trigger your urge to go.
7. c. Foods that irritate your bladder can contribute to incontinence. Both chocolate and spicy foods are bladder irritants; as are coffee, tea, soda and citrus fruits and juices. If you experience incontinence, reducing your intake of these foods might help.
8. b. Exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles are known as Kegel exercises, named for the doctor who developed them in 1948 for women after childbirth (which can weaken the pelvic muscles). Today, doctors recommend them for women of any age who experience incontinence. They can also be helpful for men. Be patient�it can take a few months to see results, but they do work for many people.
9. a. Being overweight puts pressure on the bladder that can lead to incontinence. Studies have shown that when overweight and obese women suffering from incontinence followed a six-month program to lose weight they reduced their incontinence episodes by nearly one-half.
10. c. For most people, exercise and behavior modification are enough to manage or eliminate incontinence. In addition to Kegel exercises and changes to your diet, your doctor might recommend bladder training techniques that help you cope with sudden urges to urinate. While there are several surgical procedures developed for urinary incontinence, they�re generally not the first course of action in treatment.

Budget adjustments spark council discussion
MARSHALL – A discussion of municipal accounting practices took up part of Tuesday's meeting of the Marshall City Council. While council members did vote 6-1 to approve adjustments to the 2012 city budget, council member Glenn Bayerkohler said he would rather get an auditor's opinion on whether or not the adjustments were acceptable.
Marshall City Finance Director Tom Meulebroeck presented council members with recommended budget adjustments or reallocations for various city funds, including the general fund, capital projects fund and debt service. Meulebroeck said the adjustments reflected city expenses that weren't originally in the 2012 budget, like unexpected equipment costs or emergency repairs. Approving the adjustments would lessen variances between the original 2012 budget and actual revenues and expenditures throughout the year, he said.
Bayerkohler said he had some concerns about the city adjusting the 2012 budget after the fact.
"I assume when you approve expenses, they're already in the budget," he said. Government shouldn't spend more than is actually appropriated in the budget, he said.
Council members Mike Boedigheimer and John DeCramer said that Bayerkohler had asked similar questions in the past. They also said the expenses included in the adjustments were all brought before the council for approval last year, and council members were told where the money for individual expenses was coming from.
Bayerkohler said he would like to check with an auditor to see if the city's method of adjusting the budget was permissible.
"I think certainly it's something worth looking at," he said.
Meulebroeck said auditors have not commented on the budget adjustment process in the past 30 years.
Council members voted 6-1 to approve the budget adjustments. Bayerkohler cast the vote against.
A few Marshall residents were present for public hearings on planned street, water and sewer updates. Hearings were held for projects including the construction of Victory Drive near the site of the new amateur sports facility, sewer and water main replacements on Elm Street and North 4th Street, and water main and street reconstruction on Park Avenue and a segment of East College Drive.
Local residents asked questions about the Park Avenue project. Marshall Public Works Director Glenn Olson said the project would replace sewer and water lines on Park Avenue from Marshall Street to College Drive and replace a water main on College Drive from Walnut Street to east of Park Avenue. Part of the project would move some Park Avenue properties' utility hookups from lines currently running under a nearby alley, to hookups to the new lines in the street, Olson said. In response to residents' questions, Olson said sidewalks would be replaced as part of the project.
Council members got a look at one of two new flashing light bars for Marshall Police vehicles. The lights were awarded to the Marshall Police Department as an incentive for officers' traffic safety efforts with the Toward Zero Deaths program in the past year, said Scott McConkey, the southern Minnesota law enforcement liaison for the Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety.
Marshall Public Safety Director Rob Yant said the vehicle lights were a significant contribution to local law enforcement. Light bars can go for about $3,500 each, he said.
"It's something we can use and appreciate," he said.
Council members voted to accept.
Marshall City Administrator Ben Martig gave council members an update on a break-in reported at the Marshall municipal liquor store. Martig said an investigation on the break-in was ongoing. However, he said at this time it doesn't appear anything was stolen. The liquor store does have an alarm system, Martig said.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $10.49 (50% off)
Helps with focus.
Posted by Reviewer1613928 on Jan 07, 2014
My husband has adhd and we've tried gingko 120mg from GNC which helped him a lot. Since Alzheimers runs in his family I've done a lot of research on herbs that protect the brain. Bacopa is not only an antioxidant for the brain, it also helps with cognition and memory. And has promising research with Alzheimers. Wanting to find a product that has both gingko and Bacopa I ran across planetary herbals. I was concerned that the dosage of each ingredient was on the lower side but decided to try it anyways. It works wonderfully and they seem to have a formula that provides a synergistic effect with the 2 herbs. We've since tried a single higher dose bacopa pill along with a separate gingko pill. My husband said the planetary herbal combo worked better than taking the herbs separately. Planetary Herbals is a quality brand. A bit expensive but worth it. Their Indian cherry bark syrup is wonderful for helping to fight off respiratory illnesses.
works well
Posted by Reviewer1678015 on Jan 15, 2008
better than only Bacopa
Great Stuff
Posted by Reviewer1583311 on Dec 24, 2008
Excellent Product. Provides stamina and energy. Also seems to help keep an even keel. I really like this product and will order it again.
Excellent product
Posted by Reviewer1043262 on May 26, 2009
I've been taking this product for several months. It has definitely helped during times when I've been mentally unfocused. I've actually seen an increase in my attention span while working with difficult tasks at work (I read a lot of scientific articles and review data). I would have to say that my perception of increased mental clarity is real.
Bacopa Ginkgo
Posted by Reviewer2435456 on Feb 11, 2008
This is a wonderful support for energy and memory function. I can tell a huge difference if I don't take it for a while. It is hard to find the Bacopa Ginkgo formula, and I REALLY like this one.
Planetary Herbals, Bacopa-Ginkgo
Posted by Reviewer3273552 on Jan 28, 2011
Our memory and brain function seems much better since we have been taking this product.
Great combination of herbs
Posted by Reviewer1450575 on Jul 30, 2008
Great combination of herbs for the brain. good product. Price could be a little lower to make a great value.
Mild stimulant
Posted by 5285329274719688448 on May 03, 2016
A mild stimulant for the brain. Avoid taking it in the evening - as it may cause insomnia.
Same as Local

And these friends are 2 girls.
And I also have all of my stuff from Ohio.
fuck. I mean, I may be a computer geek, but I don't have a stereotypical aversion to physical labor. I don't mind carrying stuff up and down stairs when I need to. But this is a -lot- of stuff.
We managed to pull it off in a little over an hour, the toughest things being a few arm/rocking chairs of mine and a few of their boxes that they packed a ton of stuff in, like a box with a computer, monitor, and stereo (!).
Yesterday, I helped them move it all into the place they are staying for the summer. This means taking all of their stuff back down 2 very narrow and steep flights of stairs and transporting it to their place.
They live on the third floor.
Did I mention I also got lost driving? MapQuest can blow me.
I also got a parking ticket. (It's my first one! I will scan it in when I get the chance; I want to frame it, but alas, I have to pay it.)
But, I have my apartment to myself again, which is both good and bad. Although they both still have keys, which can probably only be bad. Alas.
Anyway, enough about me. Back to life.

As most of you know, we're nearly there in fully funding the new school for SouthSide! Thanks to your generosity, we're going ahead with groundbreaking THIS THURSDAY! To celebrate how close we are (and hopefully get us across the finish line), I'm taking up a new challenge for 2013/14, and I hope you'll join me!
We're calling it Run until it's DONE!, and the challenge is as follows. Starting at groundbreaking (Feb 28) and for the next 12 months, I will run 2,014 miles in a combination of races and training. We'll finish up when we open the doors next year!
To put that in perspective:
- It's about a 1/2 marathon for every child we can accommodate in the new school, or
- It's a marathon every week (plus another 10 miles or so), and
- I'll burn about 260,000 calories (that's 788 cheeseburgers!) 🙂
"How can I get involved?" I hear you say. We're working on that right now, but rest assured, whatever you're motivated to do- run, donate, help out at SouthSide, we can accomodate it! Full details on support coming soon!
So, I'm starting Thursday, and I'll post my progress every week. I'll use my GPS watch to track progress, so you'll be able to follow along. We're going to races around the country, so it should be a bit of an adventure! I'll post my races as I sign up for them, I hope to have all of them, and my training mapped out on the site in the next few days.
We'll also bring you stories about the great kids at SouthSide you're helping every month. This is my inspiration, and I hope by sharing some of their stories, you'll find a reason to be inspired, or just smile.
Finally, I'd ask that you spread the word! Every time I talk to someone about the kids or the great work the staff and board does at SouthSide, a little inspiration grows. Help us plant that seed.
See you on the road!
The idiot

Skip to comments.Morsi opponents, backers clash in widest violence yet as Islamist president defends powers
Posted on 11/23/2012 2:23:55 PM PST by SeekAndFind
CAIRO Thousands of opponents of Egypt's Islamist president clashed with his supporters in cities across the country Friday, burning several offices of the Muslim Brotherhood, in the most violent and widespread protests since Mohammed Morsi came to power, sparked by his move to grant himself sweeping powers.
The violence, which left 100 people injured, reflected the increasingly dangerous polarization in Egypt over what course it will take nearly two years after the fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
Critics of Morsi accused him of seizing dictatorial powers with his decrees a day earlier that make him immune to judicial oversight and give him authority to take any steps against "threats to the revolution". On Friday, the president spoke before a crowd of his supporters massed in front of his palace and said his edicts were necessary to stop a "minority" that was trying to block the goals of the revolution.
"There are weevils eating away at the nation of Egypt," he said, pointing to old regime loyalists he accused of using money to fuel instability and to members of the judiciary who work under the "umbrella" of the courts to "harm the country."
Clashes between his opponents and members of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood erupted in several cities. In the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, anti-Morsi crowds attacked Brotherhood backers coming out of a mosque, raining stones and firecrackers on them. The Brothers held up prayer rugs to protect themselves and the two sides pelted each other with stones and chunks of marble, leaving at least 15 injured. The protesters then stormed a nearby Brotherhood office.

MB overplay their hand in a country used to having a decent amount of freedoms (for an Arab dominated country)?
We on the other hand manage a comment or 2 on the Internet to counter the Obama communist's dictatorial actions as when it passed the Dream act with that executive order over the head of Congress.
Here Obama has done similar things with executive orders, etc. and the media doesn't report it so no one hears of it. And we who do hear about Obamas communist dictator acts, all we do is post some comment on sites such as this on the Internet and then quickly move on to another topic. When will we all get together and protest on the streets, take the fight to the streets here in the U.S.A. against these communist thugs called democrats?
RE: If we only had a decent President now would be the time to support the protesters.
And who, pray tell, in Egypt can we support?
This is the country that OVERWHELMINGLY voted for the Muslim Brotherhood and in a poll, tells Pew that 92% want some for of Sharia Law.
And of that 92%, the majority 60%, want it strictly applied.
See here:
The poll, by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, also finds a small decline among Egyptians in favorable views of the United States now just 19 percent while 61 percent of respondents said the billions of dollars the U.S. gives their country in military and economic aid has a mostly negative impact.
The majority (61%) also want to DITCH the peace treaty in place with Israel for over 30 years.
This was May 2012. I don't see any good options for the USA.
This SOB has no excuse. He lived in the USA for 7 years and got an engineering degree. He knows life does not need to be like this.
And Egypt, like us, has an associate professor as a leader now. Academics are always a disaster,,all the way back to Wilson.
Whoops.. Hillary's plan failed. For now.
Is it inconceivable that Chicago-style voter fraud "elected" the Muslim Brotherhood?
Hillary and Obama are to thank for ousting the stable government of Hosni Mubarek, which had kept the fanatic Muslim Brotherhood at bay, and installing this power-grabbing fanatic Morsi. Just the way Jimmy Carter ousted the Shah of Iran, a pro-Western guy, and put out the red carpet for the radical Islam that has plagued the world ever since. The Obama administration is a fifth column, right a the top of the governmental structure.
He should have waited until after the Reichstag building had been set on fire. Egyptians are strong believers in tradition.
And everyone likes a nice fire.
Well, I'd be...
The Arab street mob got a small taste of power by over throwing Mubarak and now smells a wanna be dictator in the making...
Doesn't smell real good...
Wonder what our "great leader", the imperial wizard of DC, healer of the world, transitional being, will say when Morsi starts to slaughter his fellow countryman in the name of Shari law...
"crickets" or a bump in the road...
Morsi...Muslim Brotherhood...easy remedy...shoot them all.
The real freedom fighters against Sharia law are now in the breech of Egypt. WHERE IS U.S. SUPPORT NOW for the real Arab Spring?????????
POSHITUS is golfing. YAWN!
Well, well-it looks like we're witnessing the birth of an "Egyptian Tea party"; could we be? Whenever a people get sick of their leaders trying to grab more power than they have a right to; you have the makings of a "Tea Party"!
Well, well-it looks like we're witnessing the birth of an "Egyptian Tea party"; could we be? Whenever a people get sick of their leaders trying to grab more power than they have a right to; you have the makings of a "Tea Party"!
So, how's that Hope and (Arab) Spring working out for ya?
Welcome to the 6th century. Burn, baby, burn.
Only partly. The same dynamics that got Obama elected here: gifts, class warfare, stupidity, topped off with some fraud. The main difference is that the stupid people and moochers (I realize there is some overlap) are 52% here and 80 or 90% there.
Maybe now some people will understand why Egypt would NOT allow the Muslim Brotherhood to hold ANY political office from 1925 to 2012.
They knew how dangerous the MB was....Obama has played into their hands -—perfectly for them.
IIRC, the Salafist are battling for control against the MB, we might want to wait and find out more about who these protesters are.
Just sayin...
......Thousands of opponents of America's Islamist president clashed with his supporters in cities across the country Friday, burning several offices of the Muslim Brotherhood, in the most violent and widespread protests since Barrack Obama came to power, sparked by his move to grant himself sweeping executive powers and outlaw religion except Islam.
The violence, which left 100,000 dead,reflected the increasingly dangerous polarization in America over what course it will take nearly four years after the imposter Obama, backed by MSM,unconstitutionally became President.
Critics of Obama accused him of seizing dictatorial powers with his executive orders a day earlier that make him immune to judicial oversight and give him authority to take any steps against "threats to HIS, and his non producers, revolution".
There, fixed it!
Did it? Or is this the game plan she laid out for Morsi on her visit two days ago?
Bump! Or is that just a bump in the road...? You Sir are more correct than we should ever have to know.
"And Egypt, like us, has an associate professor as a leader now."
An affirmative action "associate professor".
Bread and circuses.
" - - - reflected the increasingly dangerous polarization - - - "
Obviously this polarization was caused by a second video on the Internet. Well, based on the best intelligence available, of course.
And there is the reason we don't want a "democracy" - 49.9% makes you a "minority" and the 50.1% can decide to wipe you out because you hinder their plans...
how can the salafist be battling with the Moslem Brotherhood? the salafist are he same as the Waahbi - fundamentalist Muslims whom want to go back to the glory days of Islam.
the conflict mainly is the uneducated the masses (shitite) do not like to ruled by the educated elite (Waahbi, Salafists) Sunni. The problem in the Middle East Arabi Countries is the elite - academics are the ones whom are in control and want the world on fire. The battle in the Mideast is that Shittite want theri 12th Imam and the Sunni do not believe in the 12th Imam.
Arab countries will fight for power - who is behind the uprising in Egypt - Iran. Just like Iran is behind Syria, Hamas and Turkey. Shittite Muslims are the trouble.
Popcorn. Munch crunch. May both sides lose after unending struggle.
Odumbo was never a professor - he was just a teacher of some classes that the University of Chicago Law School wished to have a diverse viewpoint. Keep in mind he was never offered a professorship or associate professorship.
The coursework that Odumbo taught was not truly constitutional law. it was about voters rights and how to cause for trouble in elections. Look how the Secretary of Staes in many states were elected, check their backgrounds and you will find these same people were participants in the voting rights to be blocked through courts so fraud could be committed.
I remember reading back when this debacle was still playing out that the Salafist had a major presence in Egypt and were indeed battling the MB for power.
Heck, remember when this first started then it came out Unions and Code pink were over there stirring the pot?:
I dunno, you may be right, I just want to wait a little longer and see what comes out.
President (cough, spit) 0bama is following this closely to see if Morsi can get away with his attempted power grab.
Salafists - ultraconservatives who won some seats in Egypts parliament
Muslim Brotherhood came from Saudi Arabia - moderates.
Revolution the liberals joined with Muslim Brotherhood.
The oddity is the Muslim Brotherhood and the liberals want the government to be the sole authority. Morsi wants himself to be the arbitratary of laws - Totalarianism (Secularists)
Salafists (waahbaists also came from Saudi Arabia - but they are ultraconservative - the Mosque, Muslim Clerics are at the realm of authority - spiritual authority is granted by the Muslim Clerics whom rule over the people. One word can sum this Theocracy or better known as a Muslim Caliphate
Iran 's involvement Secularist Caliphate (government rule which the muslim clerics secondary to governemnt.
Morsi wants this power
the problem is that the liberals are angry that their freedoms will be taken away with the realm that Morsi has complete control.
Note Morsi wants an autogolpe ( a coupe whereby the Constitution, Supreme Court and parliament are ineffective.
relation to Odumbo in the USA - Odumbo will work to utilize the AutoGolpe concept that achieved coupes in Russia, (Boris Yeltsin - september 21, 1993 dissolved Parliament, Supreme Court and called for early elections, Yeltsin was relected in 1996 new parliament Federal assembly and a State Duma) and latin America - see Peru Alberto Fujimori april5, 1992 suspended the constitution, fored the top judges and emergenmcy rule declared Special Fujimori was later convicted of wrongdoing sentenced to prison), Guatemela Jorge Serrano on May 25, 1993, el Presidente Serrano dissolved Congress, suspended the Constitution declared emeergency elections , but he was removed in one week and fled into exile)
there is a paper "Presidential Coups D"tat and regime Change in Latin America and Soviet Successor State: lessons for Democratic Theory Maxwell Cameron Working Paper #249 - February 1998.
Note this is based on democratic Theory - Oddly enough Odumbo is utilize the democratic theory to destroy the Us. Morsi and all the others are striving to do the same thing in the Mid East.
Iran is supporting this, but so also is Russia.
just a thought that I have been formulatring for years.
Autogolpe defined "as a temporary suspension of constitutional guarantees and closure of Congress by the Executive, which rules by decree and uses referda and new legislative elections to ratify a regime with broader executive powers Cameron 1994. Look up Deliberative Democracy, (1996 - Academia) Liberal Democracy see Linz 1975 - liberal political rights and electoral democracy -
see Robert Pohl's polyarchy (1971)
Just for information for others to read and think about what is happening in the Middle East - and what may happen in the USA - Odumbo's theory being practiced and perfected with killing opposition.
What? "No more Obama, Obama we are all Osama's," chants? Lessee female mutilation, sharia law and untold purges of muslims not muslim enough? What in tarnation could go wrong in the world of the scarab worshipers?
Morsi et al are being tested. The message is "moderate"
If there is no moderation there will be a coup de 'etat
Radicalization will not be tolerated. Moderate or die...... that is the message from the military/money coalition
The message will reverbarate across the region
Muslim Brotherhood came from Saudi Arabia - moderates.
The Muslim Brotherhood - also called Muslim Brethren or The Society of the Muslim Brothers (Arabic: جمعية الأخوان المسلمون Jamiat al-Ikhwan al-muslimun) - is an Islamic organization with a political approach to Islam. It was founded in Egypt in 1928 by cleric Hassan al-Banna after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Though many claim the organization decries violence, the Brotherhood is often viewed as the root source of Islamic terrorism.
Ideology & Methodology
According to founder al-Banna, It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet. Therefore, the Muslim Brotherhood opposes secular tendencies of Islamic nations and wants a return to the precepts of the Qur'an. The Brotherhood firmly rejects all notions of Western influences in addition to rejecting extreme Sufism as well. Brotherhood members organize events from prayer meetings to sport clubs for socializing.
The organization's motto: Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.
Salafists (waahbaists also came from Saudi Arabia)
A Salafi (Arabic: سلفي) is a Muslim who emphasises the Salaf ("predecessors" or "ancestors"), the earliest Muslims, as model examples of Islamic practice.[1] The term has been in use since the Middle Ages but today refers especially to a follower of a modern Sunni Islamic movement known as Salafiyyah or Salafism.[2][3] It has been noted that the Western association of Salafi ideology with violence stems from writings done "through the prism of security studies" that were published in the late 20th century, having persisted well into contemporary literature.[4] More recent attempts have been made by academics and scholars who challenge these major assumptions. Academics and historians use the term to denote "a school of thought which surfaced in the second half of the 19th century as a reaction to the spread of European ideas," and "sought to expose the roots of modernity within Muslim civilization."

I enrolled in SHM from Australia, having never learned Spanish before, and with little basic knowledge at all. From my first day, the school was not only a wonderful learning institution, but also a tremendous support network for me on all levels. From coming with me to the Office for Foreigners in order to help organise my long term student visa, to assisting me in applying for work, the staff at the school were unfailingly kind, helpful and supportive. In the time I attended I had both private and group classes. I had a great time regardless of whether it was one on one, or with other students – my classes were filled with humour, great conversation, and learning. I always felt I could ask any of the teachers to explain things more fully, and was often aware that the teacher was setting different level exercises for each student in the class, to ensure that all were learning at the appropriate speed. I also noticed that in many cases teachers actively sought innovative and creative ways of teaching. They genuinely sought to engage their students interactively, and teach in novel and interesting ways. I felt the teachers gave their heart and soul to the job and really cared about each student to walk through the door. Our social occasions were wonderful, and the friends I made whilst at the school – both staff and students – will remain friends for life. From the moment of my booking in Australia, I was assisted in everything I needed to apply for my student visa, find a flat, and begin a new life. The school understands the dislocation many people feel on moving to a new country, whether it is for a month or permanently, and are always on hand to help. I can't recommend SHM more highly, and having spoken to many other people in Granada who have attended other courses, I feel very fortunate that I chose one so well organised, helpful, and financially affordable. No matter where you come from or what you hope to achieve in learning Spanish, SHM will work with you to make sure you make those goals a reality. Thank you all so much for your kindness, friendship, and good times.

Kia is on target to achieve a year of record sales both in New Zealand and globally as it continues to ship more vehicles to customers around the world.
With Kia sales increasing in growth markets like China (40.9% up in August) and the United States (up 37% in September), Kia Motors is on course to push past the 2 million vehicles sold in all markets in 2010. Global sales were already ahead by 13.8% at the end of August, reaching in excess of 1.6 million units. At the beginning of the year Kia said it hoped to achieve a 12% increase by the end of 2011 and it's now clear that target will be reached, barring a major sales slump.
Whilst year-to-date sales of Kia vehicles here in New Zealand to the end September are 15% ahead of the same nine-month period last year, they could have been higher if the local company had been allocated more cars and light commercials.
"There is no doubt that our sales have been hampered by a shortage of key models, particularly during the beginning and middle part of the year, but supply issues are now starting to ease and we are hoping to end 2011 with a hiss and a roar and we're looking forward to an even better 2012," says Todd McDonald, General Manager of Kia Motors New Zealand.

@USA_Volleyball - @USAV Beach – USAV Facebook
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 21, 2012) – In a season of standout performances from several U.S. women's beach volleyball teams, Jennifer Kessy and April Ross have been named the USA Volleyball Beach Team of the Year.
Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) won the title for their success both internationally, where they were ranked fourth on the FIVB World Tour, and domestically, where they were the top-ranked players in the USA Volleyball Beach Rankings.
The 2012 season also saw outstanding performances by Misty May-Treanor (Santa Monica, Calif.) and Kerri Walsh Jennings (Saratoga, Calif.), who won their third-straight Olympic gold medal along with a gold medal in Gstaad, Switzerland and a silver medal in Moscow, and Jenny Kropp (Grand Island, Neb.) and Whitney Pavlik (Laguna Beach, Calif.), who dominated the Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Volleyball Tour with six victories.
On the FIVB World Tour, Kessy, 35, and Ross, 30, won a bronze medal in Rome and a gold medal in Thailand to go with the silver they won at the 2012 Olympic Games. They also had six fifth-place finishes on the Tour.
In the United States, Kessy and Ross won the women's titles at the AVP tournaments in Cincinnati and Santa Barbara and the NVL event in Baltimore.
For Kessy, the highlights of the season were qualifying for the Olympic Games, reaching the podium in London, and winning the gold medal in Thailand. The toughest part of the season was not reaching the podium in some of the early FIVB World Tour events.
"We didn't have our best year leading into the Olympics," Kessy said. "In Rome we got on the podium (with a bronze). You want to win every tournament. But the main goal was winning at the Olympics."
The finishes off the podium were difficult for Ross as well.
"I thought we were going to be a bigger presence on the podium going into the Olympics," Ross said. "I can remember being upset about it. Maybe it helped us in the end. I wasn't overconfident going into London."
Jeff Conover (Bellflower, Calif.), who has coached Kessy and Ross since 2009, was concerned about the finishes, but kept his team focused on its goal.
"I was a little nervous. We usually win three or four gold medals per year," Conover said. "We wanted to do well every tournament. But in the end, it was always going to be about being ready for London."
London was the highlight of the season for Ross, particularly her team's 15-21, 21-19, 15-12 victory in the semifinals over Brazil's No. 1-seeded Larissa França and Juliana Felisberta Da Silva, a team that had defeated the Americans in their previous nine meetings.
"That was the most fun and meaningful match I've played in my entire life," Ross said. "I've played in the world championships and the NCAA championships. That match was by far the best thing in my career."
Conover agreed that the match was a high point.
"We played Brazil three or four times last year before the Olympics," Conover said. "There were two matches that were identical (to the Olympic semifinal) where we got to 10-all in the third set and then gave points away. For us to come out on the winning end in the same situation was validating for them."
Kessy and Ross fell to compatriots May-Treanor and Walsh Jennings, 21-16, 21-16 in the Olympic gold medal match the day after the semifinals. Conover said that if Kessy and Ross had had another day to prepare, they would have at least given May-Treanor and Walsh Jennings a tougher match.
Following the Olympics, Kessy and Ross took another fifth place at the Mazuri Orlen Grand Slam in Poland before finally winning their only FIVB gold medal of the season in Thailand. Kessy and Ross stayed in Thailand following the tournament to help children who had been orphaned by the 2004 tsunami.
Kessy and Ross were introduced to the children two years ago by Bob Selznick (son of the late beach volleyball player and coach Gene Selznick), who had brought a team to compete in a junior tournament that was held in conjunction to the FIVB tournament in Thailand.
"Bob Selznick lives over there," Kessy explained. "Two years ago, he brought a team from the SOS Children's Village. The players had been orphaned by the tsunami. They won the tournament over players who were luckier in life. We were really intrigued."
Kessy and Ross have donated clothing and equipment to the village, but now with the help of their sponsor, 4POINT4, a philanthropic brand of sports apparel and gear that donates sports equipment to developing nations, they will be able to do more.
"I'm such a believer that kids need to play sports growing up," Ross said. "It gives you advantages and teaches you to be confident. Especially these girls who are orphaned and like to play beach volleyball, they don't have all the advantages. I think that's a worthy cause."
The future is somewhat uncertain for Kessy and Ross. They are currently training for the 2013 FIVB World Cup tournament that is scheduled for Brazil early in the season (the date and city have yet to be announced). They have their sights set on winning the 2013 FIVB Beach World Championship in Stare Jablonki, Poland.
Kessy has talked about retiring after 2013 while Ross is looking toward the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
"I want to focus on being the best volleyball player I can be," Ross said. "Going forward, I don't know what is going to happen. I believe in being prepared for anything."
"Domestically, we would love to bring more popularity to the sport," Kessy added. "We really want it to get back on TV."
Ross on what makes Jennifer Kessy special: "I think as a player, if I have to narrow it down, it's her competitiveness. It probably exceeds anyone I've ever known. It really does get us through matches sometimes. I think in our partnership, we have a lot of balance. Having fun and enjoying what you do is important to your success."
Kessy on what makes April Ross special: "April would not cancel practice if it was snowing out there. Sometimes she hurts her neck and can barely move and I have to force her to leave. She's so motivated and she wants to be at practice and does not want to miss a workout. She always works as hard as she can the entire time. Sometimes I'm not feeling it at the gym; it really pushes me to snap out of it."

About the Author: Joshua N. Baker serves as Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Libya.
In cooperation with the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Oceans, Environment, and Science (OES) and the National Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Libya, recently sent twenty-four students and two Libyan teachers to attend a space camp at the Advanced Space Academy in Huntsville, Alabama. A professional Libyan film crew accompanied the students and teachers to capture the ten-day event.
At the Academy, the students and teachers learned about the mental, emotional, and physical demands astronauts face. During the ten-day camp, which took place from August 1 to 10, the participants visited an Apollo 16 capsule and a Saturn V rocket, and even experienced the sensation of weightlessness. All twenty-six students and teachers completed this unprecedented journey from Tripoli to Huntsville, Alabama, and returned to Libya with an unforgettable out-of-this-world experience! Space camp was clearly a great place for the kids to be this summer given celebrations for the 40th anniversar of Apollo 11's landing on the moon.
Prior to takeoff, U.S. Ambassador to Libya Gene Cretz congratulated the young astronauts on their selection for the first ever U.S.- Libya Space Camp Exchange Program. Ambassador Cretz emphasized that the young astronauts-in-training represented the future leaders of Libya, and that the United States government was proud to be sending them on the inaugural program. In recognition of the students' achievements, Libyan Ambassador to the U.S. Ali Aujali, U.S. State Department Science and Technology Cooperation Director Bruce Howard, and Alabama state officials attended the graduation ceremony at the end of the program.
The Libyan students and teachers represent the first group from North Africa to attend U.S. Space Camp, and only the second group from the Arab world since 1982. Bringing young Libyan students to the United States for a special science education program is just a small part of a larger U.S. effort to re-establish its commitment to offering educational opportunities to Libyan students. Space camp was founded in 1982 to promote the study of math, science, and technology and encompasses educational classroom instruction and hands-on activities that teach teamwork, decision-making, and leadership. At the Advanced Space Camp Academy, students from around the world interact around math, science, and technology in a hands-on environment within an astronaut setting.
A film recording the students' experience at camp will be produced by a Libyan film crew. The film will be shown on Libyan television and in Libyan classrooms and in other countries around the region to spark an interest in science and discovery, demonstrate U.S. goodwill, and inspire future attendance of many more foreign students at space camp. The program is being carried out under the U.S.-Libya Science and Technology Cooperation Agreement, signed in Washington, DC in January 2008.

Given the Lockerbie Decision today....it is rather difficult to wrap my head around this one....the imagination just runs wild!
Jim in U.S.A. writes:
I thought that this was a great idea, not only will this let students experience real adventure and a chance of a lifetime, but it will teach the students about Math and science to a whole new level.
Ron in New York writes:
Keep Diplomatice Distance....
Please do not let Libyans get near U.S. space technologies....that goes for Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, and Iraq.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Ron in New York,
One way to look at this is as an investment in Libya's next generation of leaders and thinkers. The current generation still seems to have a love interest with terrorism ( as the official celebrations on a terrorist's return home demonstrates).
If you want to change the dynamics, one must present the opportunity for new mindsets to form, and that is what the focus is here, presenting possibilities to impressionable youth, as it were.
And that can only be a good thing, besides which their level of access directly to any "space tech" while hands on, is no secret and these kids arn't exactly spies.
Ron in New York writes:
Delusions of Progress....
Libya should get nothing from the U.S. until it changes criminal leadership. USG must stop these delusional and pathetic attempts at positive influence. Libya laughs and continues to attack our nation.
Ron in New York writes:
Get Real; Right Now. DoS needs to get real about U.S. onvolvement with destructive regimes. Our resources are finite and our challenges are many (and costly).
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Whether you like it or not Ron, or even accept the USG positon that Libya is no longer a state sponsor of terror and worthy of re-engagement as a member of the family of nations, and regardless of whether you think folks are being "real" about this, this has become diplomatic reality on the world stage.
This is not to say Gaddaffi will be able to pitch his tent in New Jersey anytime soon. And he may be crashing on the couch at the Libyian embassy in New York since he has recently offended folks to the point where I doubt if he could even book a hotel room in NYC for a week to attend the UNGA.
If memory serves, there is State Dept senior level official's testimony before congresional committe to the effect that the Libyan government has not only halted any and all terrorist activity for the length of time required by law to be removed from the Dept. of State's list of state sponsors of terror, nor is currently engaged again now, testimony also indicates active Libyan efforts to fight terrorism through cooperative efforts with the US and others to hunt down, and dismantle al-quaida cells in North Africa.
So unless you can provide proof "Libya laughs and continues to attack our nation." I'll go with the official record on this one, thanks.

It's not every day that a single venue can be a one-stop shop for a large portion of a city's talent set. This weekend, that's the case with Summer Jam 614, and it will be a competition as much a showcase.
Saturday night, Skully's Music Diner will feature 11 different acts, including multiple groups. Rapping won't be the only thing showcased either. DJs, singers and more will also be on hand during a night of debauchery and city pride.
Summer Jam 614 show promoters and Elevator Music heads Dion Thompson and Rashad Thomas, who is also performing Saturday, said the event began because precedent was limited.
"We started it out of necessity of not having a good show with all the [musicians] we thought were the best local Columbus talent," Thomas said. "It kind of started as us wanting to do our version of Summer Jam."
Saturday's show will feature performances by Rashad and The 3RD, Hodgie Street, Young Wise, Ellastarr, Trek Manifest, Fabrashay A, Luxury League, Wezzee, King Vada and Supanatra and will be deejayed by DJ F.A.T.E.
The show title "Summer Jam" typically refers to the New York version where artists, mostly from The Big Apple, are showcased. The 614 interpretation may not be as wide-scale but the show is still formulated as a natural competition, bringing out the best in all of the artists featured.
"I love the idea of having competition, and this is a competitive night," Thomas said. "Everyone wants their show to be better than the last person on stage. Everyone brings their A-game."
The showcase was on hiatus last year, and the last time the event was held was in 2011 at Club Icon, featuring the largest audience the show had ever had.
Sponsored by The Pulse Radio, 2013's edition expects another packed house. Previous to the show's beginning five years ago, little in the way of hip-hop concerts were thrown at Skully's, which has become a haven of late for urban music.
"Before we threw a show there, Skully's was untapped," Thomas explained. "There really weren't any local artists performing there, and it's become that.
"I think we pride ourselves on having our ear to the streets to what's poppin.' I think our city can be proud of this."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (159 votes).
In short: A good starter race, on the day quite hard but that was due to the strong winds. Overall a good run.In full: This was my first full organized run, and apart from the weather on the day it was a really good one. It's a great starter run. It would probably be much more enjoyable in better weather, maybe better in the spring not the winter for this run, as some of it is along the water front, making winds really tough on you. Apart from that a good run.Date of review: December 3, 2007
In short: very well organised race,pitty about the weather.Date of review: December 3, 2007
In short: Lousy medal, no water at the end, finish point not clearIn full: I know the weather cannot be helped - second year it has been too windy for a PB. Drinks at the end, difficult to find, and then found a table with an empty urn and no one around to supply drinks.Date of review: December 3, 2007
In short: Flat, scenic, good organisation - only the weather could spoil it!In full: This is a well organised race with a great opportunity to set a PB - only not when there's a gale-force headwind for the last mile. Definitely recommended.Date of review: December 3, 2007
In short: The wind in the last mile was a killerDate of review: December 3, 2007
In short: very good race, PB's very possibleDate of review: December 2, 2007
In short: Fast flat course (ignoring the gales)In full: This is a well organised, traffic free, flat race. The start was much improved from last year, no cones to trip over this time. Footpath around IBM was much less flooded than last year too. Friendly officials, the supervisors in the bag room were particularly friendly and efficient. Only downer is running into the wind from about miles 3.5 and 4.5, but I still managed a PB, found it nice to get some extra speed in the parts where the wind was blowing us along!Date of review: December 2, 2007
In short: The wind is a killer, slows you right down if you dont carry the weightIn full: A Very well marshalled race, thanks for that. The race is suicidal though with that wind. The medal is a waste of space. ARE There showers to be taken at the end?Date of review: December 2, 2007
In short: The weather played a big part, well done to the marshalls that braved the wind and rain. Medal is a waste of space, but not overly concerned about that.Date of review: December 2, 2007
In short: 'twas a shame about the wind.In full: The wind spoilt this for me, particularly running into the headwind in the last mile, this halted my progress of running through the field. I was annoyingly overtaken by a couple of smaller runners who had much less surface area for the wind to blow against.There was also flooding on some of the course, with puddles to negotiate. The pavement seemed to be quite cracked up in places, why don't the council address this?All in all I was quite dissapointed with this race. I'll only run it again if the weather is forecast to be good, as it is a PB course on a calm day.Date of review: December 2, 2007

The future of Ripley schools
RIPLEY – Ripley area residents will cast their vote soon to decide if the district will send its students in 7-12 grades to another school next year.
More than 100 residents, teachers and students filled the small gymnasium at Ripley Central School recently for an informational question-and-answer meeting of the Board of Education concerning the possibility of tuitioning students in these grades to Chautauqua Lake Central School.
An official binding referendum will be held on Feb. 5. Voting will take place in the Distance Learning Room from noon to 8 p.m.
Eight guest speakers were on hand representing different voices in the debate, which has gone on since August when the board was petitioned to seek a public vote on the issue.
The speakers were: David Farmelo, of Hodgson-Russ Law firm; John O'Conner, Erie2 BOCES assistant superintendent; Allison Fisher, a junior who surveyed RCS students on the issue; Kira Mellors, a freshman taking part in the CLCS pilot program; Dave Adams, representing PACE, (Parents Advocating Change in Education), a group favoring tuitioning; Alex Reyda, representing the Ripley Education Association; Sara Dayton, of Lumsden and McCormick, the district's financial auditors; and Ripley vice-principal Anna Armstrong.
Each speaker was allotted two minutes to address the gathering, but few did more than introduce themselves.
Dayton, speaking for the auditing firm, merely stated that Lumsden and McCormick agreed that the financial aspects of tuitioning students were reasonable.
Reyda and Adams, however, speaking for opposing viewpoints, shared strongly-worded comments. Reyda urged the crowd to vote against tuitioning.
"In my opinion, a bigger school does not necessarily mean a better education," he said. "All you hear from Ripley is the doom and gloom and how poor we are. My point is that there are many districts out there in the same position."
Adams spoke just as fervently, urging listeners to vote for tuitioning. "Now we have the opportunity to take charge of our children's education," he said. "Tuitioning is the only answer. You can see it from the kids going there. We have to make a decision to give kids the opportunity they deserve. … If you don't believe me, go look for yourself. It's an unbelievable opportunity and a great school for our students."
Ripley superintendent Karen Krause gave an overview of the district's struggles during the last 20 years. During that time, enrollment has declined by 224 students, and the district has voted on either consolidation with another district, or annexation by another district five times.
At the end of the 2011-12 school year, facing rising costs, declining enrollment, reduced state aid and a 2 percent property tax cap, Ripley polled students in grades 7-12 asking: "Should students in grades 7-12 be tuitioned to Chautauqua Lake Central School?" One hundred twenty three answered "yes" to 93 who answered "no."
At the August school board meeting, representatives of PACE presented a petition with 147 signatures urging the board to seek a public referendum on the question.
District financial manager LouAnn Bahgat presented an overview of district finances, ending with the three-year projection that, if Ripley continues as is, it will have a deficit of $323,627.
Principal Lauren Ormsby then stated that this scenario would result in the loss of at least seven teacher positions as well as 8-19 elective courses being eliminated.
Tuitioning to Chautauqua Lake would result in the anticipated loss of one administrative position, one clerical, 12.5 teaching, 1 professional support staff, one teaching assistant, three teacher aides, 15 coaches, 10 advisers and reduced time for cafeteria and maintenance.
Board president Robert Bentley began the audience question-and-answer urging people to remember that "we will all be friends and neighbors long past this issue."
Resident David Hart asked what the cost would be for each student if they were to be tuitioned. Bentley answered that there was a state formula for determining that, but Ripley could not afford it. Negotiations are ongoing with Chautauqua Lake, he said. However, Ripley has calculated that tuitioning these grades would save the school $700,000 and the district would not spend more than that.
"If we are sending 141 children, then we have $700,000 available," he said. "I believe you will see improved education as a result of tuitioning, but we are at a break even mode."
Robin Albright inquired what would become of the school's physical plant if students were tuitioned, since much of it would be unused.
Bentley replied that the school had been discussing the possibility of placing the town offices there. "That is the only thing we have explored to this point."
Bentley noted that the tuitioning contract would span two to five years. If the possibility of a regional high school became reality, Ripley would be able to take part in it.
Justine Mellors said she felt the real question was not about where to get a better education, but about combining resources, in the face of declining enrollment across Western New York.
Bentley replied that this decline shows no sign of stopping. "We've been shaving and shaving and shaving," he said.
Ripley junior Allison Fischer protested that many of the students at Ripley do not want to go to a larger school. "We kids are not just a number," she said. "We grew up like this. We love who we grew up with; we love where we are. I have 83 kids who don't want to leave this school."
Wanda Bentley, a cofounder of A.R.C.S. (Advocates for Ripley Central School) asked how the board can justify teacher and administration salaries ($80,000-$90,000 for teachers and $127,000 for the superintendent) and 100 percent health coverage.
"I think we're putting the cart before the horse," she said
Bentley responded that some of the Ripley staff do make a large salary, but also look at the work they did to get there and the hours they put into the job. Also, he said, "that is the going rate for these positions."
Joyce Walzer, a teacher at Ripley for 18 years, stated that the smaller classes at Ripley have been a benefit to the student's education. "I've had greater participation and a high success rate due to the small groups," she said.
Robin Estes asked what security measures Chautauqua Lake had to ensure the safety of the children. Principal Lauren Ormsby replied that they were currently meeting with staff from there to increase security.
In his closing comments, Bentley said the board "would always look for new opportunities for education. We need to realize that change has come to education in New York state. We cannot stay the same. We need to realize that change has come to education in New York state. We cannot stay the same. We must adapt."

Commemoration, Controversy and Competition at JFK 50
In 1963, John F. Kennedy issued a challenge to his military personnel: Run 50 miles in under 20 hours ...
In 1963, John F. Kennedy issued a challenge to his military personnel: Run 50 miles in under 20 hours, a standard Teddy Roosevelt had set for his own military in the early 20th century. Non-commissioned military personnel, even civilians, took part in the 1963 "JFK 50-Mile Challenge" in Washington D.C., along with numerous similar locations across the country. On November 17th, that tradition continued with record-setting vigor.
Renamed the "JFK 50-Mile Memorial" in the wake of Kennedy's assassination, the race has weathered the fluctuating popularity of ultrarunning. Of the many events spurred into existence by Kennedy's original challenge, the "JFK 50 Mile Memorial" is the only one to have been held every year since. Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the race is now the oldest and largest trail ultra in existence. Fittingly, the recent running of the event saw both impressive first-timers' debuts and tremendous improvements in course records across the board.

This year's race
Oregon's Max King lowered the previous men's record set by David Riddle in 2011, from 5:40:45 to 5:34:58. King completed the towpath marathon section in approximately 2:44. Admittedly exhausted by the third and final section of the race, he said he "clicked off the miles rather painfully, but still managed a decent clip"—he never went above a seven-minute-per-mile pace.
King cinched the win with an over three-minute margin over second-place finisher and first-time 50-miler, Trent Briney. Briney, whose marathon personal record is an impressive 2:12 (a minute faster than King's), also bettered the old record by three minutes. David Riddle came in third, one of five men to finish the race in less than six hours. The runners credit the competitive showing with pushing them to record-setting times.
Though last year's women's champ, Cassie Scallon, did not return to the race, the women's field was rife with talent. Ellie Greenwood, 33, a seasoned ultrarunner, fought for the lead against 26-year-old newcomer Emily Harrison, a 2:32 marathoner from Front Royal, Virginia, who used this year's race as her ultrarunning debut.
Greenwood, who lives and trains in North Vancouver, excelled on the trail. She was the first woman off the AT, emerging ahead of many men, but soon lost her lead to Harrison—a lead she didn't recover until the 50K mark. "[Trailing] Emily from miles 21 to 31 was a little disconcerting," Greenwood says, "but I knew I needed to wait it out and not go too fast too soon."
Overcoming some mid-race stomach issues, Greenwood picked off the 10th-place man with only the final stretch of the race to go. She held her position and came away with a victory, a top-10 finish and a new course record of 6:11:59, easily overthrowing the 2009 record of 6:29:21, set by Devon Yanko. Harrison came in under the previous course record as well, clocking 6:17:16.
Of her accomplishment, Greenwood says, "I went into the race knowing Devon Yanko's course record was a good one and hoped I might be able to crack it, but didn't expect the margin that I had!"
