Ultimate TrainingGuide for 10K through ultramarathons
From the time the ancient Greek runner Pheidippides ran from Marathon to Athens to announce the Greeks' victory over Persia in the Battle of Marathon, humans have been fascinated by endurance. And today's trail runners have hundreds of race options in which to test their mettle, e.g. the Wissahickon Trail Classic 10K in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Tecumseh Trail Marathon in Bloomington, Indiana, and the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run in Northern California. The key to racing well is knowing how to train the three main factors affecting endurance performance—VO2max (aerobic power), lactate threshold, and running economy—for your chosen race distance, from 10K to ultramarathon.

VO2max (Aerobic Power)
VO2max is the maximum volume of oxygen that your muscles can consume per minute. To be a good distance runner, you need a high VO2max. Think of VO2max as your VIP card—a high VO2max alone gains you access into the club. But having that VIP card is not enough. To be a great runner, you need to have other tools in your physiological arsenal.
Lactate Threshold
One of those other tools is the lactate threshold (LT). The LT demarcates the transition between running that is almost purely aerobic and running that includes significant anaerobic metabolism. (All running speeds have an anaerobic contribution, although when running slower than LT pace, that contribution is negligible.) Thus, LT is an important determinant of endurance performance since it represents the fastest speed you can sustain aerobically without a significant anaerobic contribution. Research has shown that LT is the best physiological predictor of distance-running performance.
Running Economy
A third tool is running economy, the volume of oxygen (VO2) used to maintain a given speed. The less oxygen you use to run at a specific speed, the better. For example, if two runners have the same VO2max, but Runner A uses 70 percent and Runner B uses 80 percent of that VO2max while running at eight-minute mile pace, the pace feels easier for Runner A because he is more economical. Therefore, Runner A can run at a faster pace longer before feeling the same amount of fatigue as Runner B. Running economy is influenced by biomechanics, the proportion of slow-twitch muscle fibers, body weight and the density of mitochondria, microscopic structures responsible for aerobic metabolism.
10k Training
The emphasis of 10K training is on lactate threshold, VO2max and the ability to withstand a fast pace. However, whether you're training for a 10K or ultramarathon, it all starts with mileage. That's because endurance training stimulates many physiological, biochemical and molecular adaptations. All of these adaptations can be thought of as your body's attempt to cope with the demand placed on it by running every day. For example, endurance training stimulates more fuel (glycogen) to be stored in your muscles, increases the use of intramuscular fat at the same speed to spare glycogen, increases the size of the left ventricle of your heart so that it can pump more blood (and oxygen) with each beat, improves your blood vessels' oxygen-carrying capability by increasing the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin, and increases your muscles' capacity to use oxygen.
Lactate Threshold (LT) Runs
You can improve your LT by running at your current LT pace. Increasing your LT pace allows you to run faster before you fatigue, because it allows you to run faster before anaerobic metabolism begins to play a significant role. The benefit to being able to run aerobically at 7:00 pace compared to 7:30 pace is obvious.
With my athletes, I typically use three types of LT workouts: 1) continuous runs (2 to 5 miles) at LT pace; 2) intervals run at LT pace with short rest periods, such as 4 to 6 x 1 mile at LT pace with 1-minute rest; and 3) shorter intervals run at slightly faster than LT pace with very short rest periods, such as 2 sets of 4 x 1000 meters at 5 to 10 seconds per mile faster than LT pace with 45 seconds rest and two minutes rest between sets.
LT pace is about 10 to 15 seconds per mile slower than 5K race pace (or about 10K race pace) for runners slower than about 40 minutes for 10K (about 80- to 85-percent maximum heart rate). For highly trained and elite runners, the pace is about 25 to 30 seconds per mile slower than 5K race pace (or about 15 to 20 seconds per mile slower than 10K race pace, or about 90-percent maximum heart rate). Subjectively, these runs should feel comfortably hard. (Please see "Have a Heart," Training, Issue 53, August 2008 for information on determining your maximum heart rate.)
Long Intervals
Long intervals (3 to 5 minutes) increase the heart's stroke volume and cardiac output, leading to an increase in VO2max. Research has shown that high-intensity training (95- to 100-percent VO2max) is the best way to improve it. Regardless of the length of the intervals you choose, you should run them at the speed at which VO2max occurs (referred to as the "velocity at VO2max," or vVO2max), which is approximately 3000-meter (or 2-mile) race pace for highly trained runners. If you run 3000 meters in longer than about 10 to 11 minutes, however, your vVO2max will be between mile and 3000-meter race pace. If using heart rate as a guide, you should come close to reaching your maximum heart rate by the end of each interval. You can also do hill repeats on a trail in place of intervals on the track to serve as a transition into more formal interval training.
Short Intervals
While long intervals are the most potent for improving VO2max because you repeatedly reach and sustain VO2max during the work periods, short intervals (1 to 2 minutes) run at vVO2max can also improve VO2max, as long as you use short, active recovery periods to keep VO2 elevated throughout the workout. Short intervals run at mile race pace will help you address the anaerobic component of the 10K by increasing the number of enzymes involved in anaerobic metabolism and your ability to buffer the acidosis that results from high-intensity running.
Marathon Training
In a marathon, the main difference from shorter races is that you run out of carbohydrate, which is your muscles' preferred fuel. You have enough stored carbohydrate (glycogen) in your muscles to last slightly more than two hours of sustained running at a moderate intensity. So, unless you plan on running the marathon as fast as Haile Gebrselassie, you're going to run out of fuel. Glycogen depletion and the accompanying low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) coincide with hitting the infamous wall.
Other issues not encountered in shorter races that affect marathon performance include dehydration, muscle-fiber damage, increased body temperature (hyperthermia) and psychological fatigue. When you sweat a lot, you become dehydrated, which causes a decrease in the plasma volume of the blood, decreasing the heart's stroke volume and cardiac output. Oxygen flow to your muscles is then compromised, and the pace slows.
The relentless pounding causes muscle-fiber damage, which decreases muscle-force production. Since your muscles produce heat when they contract, running for long periods of time increases body temperature and the resulting hyperthermia decreases blood flow to the active muscles since more blood is directed to the skin to increase convective cooling. Finally, running for so long can cause psychological fatigue, the latter of which is due to changes in the levels of brain neurotransmitters.
High Mileage
While high mileage is important for the 10K, it is especially important for the marathon to maximize your aerobic capacity. This may even require running twice per day to spread out the stress and maximize recovery. In addition, research has shown that runners who perform high volumes of endurance training tend to be more economical, which has led to the suggestion among scientists that running high mileage (greater than 70 miles per week) improves running economy.
Running's repetitive movements result in improved biomechanics and muscle-fiber recruitment. Additionally, economy may be improved by the weight loss that usually accompanies high mileage (a lighter body needs less oxygen than a heavier body); the growth of slow-twitch skeletal muscle fibers; and the greater ability of tendons to store and use elastic energy with each step.

Man sentenced in snowmobile hit-and-run case
ESCANABA – A Garden man who ran over an ice fisherman with his snowmobile nearly a year ago was sentenced to up to five years in prison Monday.
Douglas Duane Barbeau, 27, pleaded no contest last month to purposely running his snowmobile into Parker Bambenek, 22, of Marquette, who was ice fishing on Garden Bay on Jan. 28, 2012. Bambenek suffered serious injuries including two broken legs.
During sentencing in Delta County Circuit Court on Monday, Judge Stephen Davis ordered Barbeau to one year and four months to up to five years in prison for failing to stop at the scene of an accident causing serious impairment or death.
Barbeau was also sentenced to 12 months incarceration for felonious operation of a snowmobile and was sentenced to six months for attempted false report of a felony. The sentences are to be served concurrently.
Barbeau was also ordered to pay $464 in fines and costs. He was given credit for two days served in the county jail when he was arrested four months after the incident.
Prior to sentencing Barbeau, Davis said there was no excuse for the defendant's actions, citing how he used his snowmobile to hit Bambenek, left him helpless on the ice and then lied about his own involvement. Barbeau also never accepted responsibility for his actions and never apologized to the victim, the judge added.
"You entered your plea when your case collapsed," said Davis, making it clear the court would not be granting boot camp for the defendant because it is "not appropriate."
Barbeau was scheduled to go to trial but later opted to make a plea. In exchange for the pleas, two counts were dismissed: assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, a 10-year felony; and filing a false report of a felony, a four-year felony.
Prosecuting Attorney Steve Parks told the court Monday that Barbeau tried to conceal his acts with a false police report. Family members assisted him in this process, he said.
Barbeau reported to state police a few days after the incident that his snowmobile was stolen on Jan. 28 even though he knew he was the operator of the snowmobile that struck Bambenek, according to the police report.
Davis said Monday how Barbeau used his snowmobile as a weapon, not slowing down as he approached the ice fisherman, and fleeing the scene after he struck the man who suffered traumatic and life-threatening injuries.
Barbeau's attorney, Don LeMire, admitted his client made a mistake by leaving the scene. LeMire asked the court not to impose prison time for the "bad decisions made by a young person."
Prior to sentencing, Davis allowed the victim to make a statement to the court.
Bambenek said Barbeau came "too close" and "too fast" at him when "there was plenty of room on the ice to snowmobile and fish."
Bambenek admitted to yelling at Barbeau after he ran over his tip-up with the snowmobile. Bambenek said the snowmobiler used that aggression to try to be "a bigger man" and used his snowmobile as a weapon.
Bambenek recalled how he missed school and work because of the injuries and recovery time. He said it's difficult for him to participate in activities. His injuries have affected his life and could impact him later in life in the form of early arthritis, he said.
"I don't think anybody should have to go through this," Bambenek told the court.
Barbeau declined to address the court during sentencing.

FAA Delays Air Traffic Tower Closings
FAA on Friday announced it would delay the planned closure of 149 air traffic control towers until June 15 that were scheduled to be shut down starting Sunday. The agency is looking to give the airport communities additional time to adjust to the closures and decide whether they want to continue funding the towers themselves.
The delay was announced after several airports filed lawsuits to block FAA from closing their towers, alleging the decision is a violation of a federal law meant to ensure changes at airports do not impact safety.
In March, FAA released a list of 149 towers funded by FAA contractors that would be closed as a result of the sequestration budget cuts that reduced its 2013 fiscal year operating budget by $637 million. The majority of the planned closures are at small and medium-sized airports with fewer than 150,000 takeoffs and landings per year.
The extension until June 15 allows airports to select the option of continuing to operate certain towers as nonfederal contract towers. FAA estimates that the tower closures will save $30-40 million. More

Ministry Inquiry Reflection
Rose Jantzi, 2nd year, Elementary Education major
The concept of doing the Ministry Inquiry Program at camp is a new one which I am thankful to have been the guinea pig. As I focused this summer on ministry at Highland Retreat of the Mennonite Church, I was challenged to dig into God's word, practice servant leadership, and learn more about camp ministry.
Carmen Schrock Hurst, Dean Williams (the director at Highland Retreat) and I worked together to create a role for the summer that included job descriptions from the head counselor, camp chaplain and worship coordinator positions. The combing of three jobs gave me the opportunity to mentor staff, organize worship and share the word of God with campers. On a typical day I would be busy leading Bible studies, spending one on one time with female counseling staff, organizing Fireside worship, and helping campers who needed individual attention.

Each of these aspects of my role opened my eyes to ministry in new ways. In my worship coordinating role I experience the highs and lows of organizing worship. I came up against the difficulties of planning when multiple opinions are involved. It can be challenging to keep an open heart when listening to all the voices and opinions within the community. While organizing worship, I also experienced the gratification that comes from planning a spirit filled night of worship. Practicing the Bible memory verse, singing camp songs, and listening to the Fireside speaker all added to the worship experience at camp this summer. I always loved to look around the fire and see the expressions of joy and deep commitment as the campers engaged in worship.
In my head counselor and camp chaplain positions I was given the opportunity to work on a ministerial level with staff at Highland. By not being assigned to a cabin, I had the unique position to observe the dynamics of the staff as well as their emotional and spiritual well being. Through Bible studies and one on one talks with female staff, struggles from home and work at camp came into the conversation. I felt blessed to be able to support the staff on a spiritual level as they were stretched by the demands of camp life.
One of my favorite activities under my chaplain position was the daily Bible study I led with female staff. Each day our study challenged us all to participate in servant leadership not only in the camp setting but in life. Together we read and probed the scriptures, applying God's word to our present lives. I was challenged by this Bible study to continue reading the Bible both individually and in the community context. New and challenging perspectives of the Bible can be shared that one individual would not have been able to come up with on their own.
As Christians we are challenged to continue growing in our faith on a daily basis. Having the opportunity to experience ministry in the camp setting exemplified that challenge for me in a variety of ways. During my Ministry Inquiry experience I learned that I am lost in ministry without the greater cloud of witnesses of the church. The camp setting gives young adults the opportunity to try a variety of leadership experiences. By being thrown into leadership roles, I was forced to rely on other leaders in ministry to find my way through the process. While working in leadership at Highland, it became apparent to me that without the whole body of Christ, we are missing valuable pieces in ministry. Without the wisdom of elders or the enthusiasm of young adults, our ministry is not complete.
By being a part of the Ministry Inquiry Program, one can not help but learn more about themselves in the process. I am not going to say that this experience was easy or always life giving. It was a stretching experience where God challenged me to continue giving of myself when there was nothing left to give. It was a broken experience when I reached the end of the summer and found myself cracked and bruised. But through the pain and loss I was able to find God. Through the cracks that formed along the way, Christ's light was able to shine through and minster. I learned this summer that I was called to Highland Retreat to serve as what Henry Nouwen calls a "wounded healer". That through my imperfections and emptiness Christ had a greater opportunity to shine.
As I enter my Junior year at Eastern Mennonite University, I start classes with new lenses of my purpose in college. I have been called to fully embrace my obedience to God. Out of my walk with Him I will experience hardship, doubts and fear. But thanks be to God, I have been blessed with a community of faith that will also be questioning where they are called to minister. It is too soon to know if I am called to ministry in a pastoral role. But it is not too soon for me to be living a faithful life of ministry in the brokenness of this world.

Flat Stanley Ready To Go
I've been preparing backgrounds and putting odds and ends into another Moleskine sketchbook for my travel journal. Here's the page where Flat Stanley will reside. As the week goes along I'll add things to the background.
Other pages have paint, collage and stamped backgrounds just waiting for inspiration along the way. I love keeping this type of journal as I can add the bits and bobs that I find along with my thoughts,
sketches, and pictures. I love keeping track of the
"little memories" that are forgotten when the journey is over.
I'll be taking my laptop but I'm not sure I will be able to get to a place where I can connect. Just in case I can't connect until I return here's special wishes for all my friends: Stay Well, Stay Safe and Be Creative.

I love to visit your inspirational blog - there is so much here that touches me. Have a great trip to Colarado - I'm looking forward to hearing all about it. Penny xReplyDelete

Muted excitement for latest Toshiba Android tablet
Shaw reviews Toshiba's Excite 10 SE tablet and HP's EliteBook Folio 9470m Ultrabook.
Shaw reviews Toshiba's Excite 10 SE tablet and HP's EliteBook Folio 9470m Ultrabook.
Two of the latest Android "Honeycomb" tablets to hit the Australian market are the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and the unimaginatively named Toshiba Tablet (otherwise known as the AT100 in Australia, and the Toshiba Thrive in other markets).
The tablet market may be still in its relative infancy in Australia, but Google's latest 'Honeycomb' operating system has given manufacturers a nice building block to start from.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Leonora A. Tyler
GREECE, N.Y. – Leonora Amanda Tyler passed away peacefully at her home in Greece, N.Y., on Jan. 6, 2013.
Born May 7, 1930, in Onchiota, Franklin County, she was the youngest child of Clarence and Ella (Tucker) Tyler. Her family later moved to Vermontville, and she was a 1949 graduate of Saranac Lake High School.
She is predeceased by her parents and also by her siblings George (Mary), Clarence, Wesley (Theresa), Geneva (Fred) and Katherine.
Survivors include her son, Stephen (Colleen); grandchildren Chase, Elijah and Max of Greece; her sister-in-law, Joyce (Clarence) Tyler of Brockport; her close cousins Martha Tyler John and Mary Ellen Goff Keith of Vermontville; longtime friend Mescal Thomas of Vermontville; and many other beloved cousins, nieces and nephews. Her family wishes to acknowledge and thank her dear friend and helper these past few years, Liz Bracken of Greece.

The death of a man found shot inside his Whitehall condominium on Tuesday evening was being investigated as a homicide, Whitehall police said.
Officers found the body of Rande Neff, 48, inside his condo at 428 Shell Court W. after they responded to a 911 call from someone who was asking officers to check on Neff. He was shot at least once, Sgt. John Grebb said in a news release yesterday morning.
Police did not provide any further information.
Neff worked at the Kroger distribution center in Columbus, according to his Facebook page. Neff was a good man, a hard worker and the "life of the party," his brother, Douglas Neff, told WBNS-TV (Channel 10). Douglas Neff declined to talk more about his brother.
Rande Neff's neighbors at Foxfire Village Condominiums said that he kept to himself and that they didn't know him well.
Bernadette Steele, whose condo is a few doors from Neff's, said she heard "loud, agitated voices yelling" on Tuesday night, and then the police arrived.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Whitehall Police Department at 614-237-6333, Grebb said.

Genie, I think the most standard sicilian style baking method is this:Make the dough and 1/2 way stretch it out into an oiled pan.let the dough rest for a few hours until it has started to rise and pull it out the rest of the way to cover the bottom of the pan fullywait another hour or so (depending on yeast amount) and dress the pizza with a very light coating of sauce, maybe 1/2 what you intend to use on the final pizza (sicilian's can handle lots of sauce and toppings). bake the pizza until it is getting close to looking done and coat with another light layer of sauce, and all the remaining toppings. Finish the pizza off in the oven for a few more minutes. Good luck!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent QB Mike Glennon could receive $13-$15 million per year on his next contract depending on the number of teams bidding.

|Cowboys | Dallas not looking at Mike Glennon
Wed, 03 Aug 2016 10:35:49 -0700
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Mike Glennon has not received trade interest from the Dallas Cowboys at this point, according to a source.
Fantasy Tip: The Buccaneers probably would want a solid return if they were to trade Glennon, so he likely will remain the backup to Jameis Winston. He will not have any fantasy value unless he is starting.

|Buccaneers | 50-50 chance for Mike Glennon trade?
Sat, 09 Apr 2016 10:50:33 -0700
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Mike Glennon has a 50-50 chance of being traded before the NFL Draft, according to Mark Cook of Pewter Report. Cook noted the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets as the two most likely landing spots for Glennon if he were to be traded. Cook also speculated that general manager Jason Licht could pull the trigger on a trade if a second-round pick or a low-end second round pick and a fourth-round pick is offered.
Fantasy Tip: Glennon would almost certainly be the backup in Cleveland, and could start in New York if Fitzpatrick is not re-signed. For now, he's on the outside looking in as far as fantasy relevance is concerned.

|Jets | Mike Glennon of interest to New York
Tue, 29 Mar 2016 16:33:26 -0700
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Mike Glennon has drawn interest from the New York Jets, who have inquired about Tampa Bay's backup quarterback.
Fantasy Tip: The extent and context of the Jets and Bucs talks is unclear, but New York is one of a couple teams left with a question mark at quarterback right now. It's unlikely that they would trade Muhammad Wilkerson for Glennon, but we'll see what happens as the draft inches closer. As stated earlier, though, Glennon is not a starting fantasy quarterback.

|Buccaneers | Mike Glennon could be extended
Tue, 29 Mar 2016 16:26:13 -0700
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Mike Glennon has been the subject of trade talks in recent weeks, but he could also receive an extension from the Buccaneers if a trade does not work out. Tampa Bay has already discussed a two-year extension for Glennon that would likely be worth at least $6 million per year.
Fantasy Tip: The Buccaneers are playing the waiting game with Glennon. If he is to be traded, it may not be until the weekend of the NFL Draft. There are a select few teams that Glennon could start on, like the Denver Broncos and New York Jets, for example. He still won't be worth starting on fantasy squads, though, no matter where he plays.

|Broncos | Denver not rushing QB decision
Wed, 23 Mar 2016 10:03:45 -0700
Denver Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak said the Broncos are not in a rush to add another quarterback this offseason. Kubiak said QB Mark Sanchez will learn the team's offense quickly because of his familiarity with the verbiage during his days in college, and Sanchez has been at the team facility offseason since he signed. Free-agent QBs Robert Griffin III (Redskins) and Ryan Fitzpatrick (Jets) are options, as well as trading for San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick, Houston Texans QB Brian Hoyer or Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Mike Glennon.
Fantasy Tip: Denver will likely bring in another QB either through the draft, in free agency or via trade to compete with Sanchez for the starting role. At this point, whoever is under center in Week 1 for the Broncos will surely be more of a fantasy backup.

|Buccaneers | Mike Glennon a trade target
Mon, 21 Mar 2016 12:16:51 -0700
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Mike Glennon has drawn interest from several teams, according to general manager Jason Licht. Licht said trade discussions could continue until the NFL Draft. Licht also refuted a claim that the Buccaneers were demanding a No. 1 draft pick in exchange for Glennon. The New York Jets are just one team that has inquired about Glennon.
Fantasy Tip: Desperate times call for desperate measures, apparently, as Glennon has done little in his young NFL career to prove he deserves starting status. If he is traded and does start, he's still comfortably in backup fantasy quarterback territory.

|Broncos | Mike Glennon a trade target for Denver?
Wed, 09 Mar 2016 15:48:17 -0800
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Mike Glennon is being mentioned as a possible trade target for the Denver Broncos after they lost free-agent QB Brock Osweiler to the Houston Texans on Wednesday, March 9.
Fantasy Tip: Osweiler's departure means the Broncos will be linked with just about every available free-agent quarterback or any signal-caller who has supposedly been on the trade block recently. Glennon would be a serviceable fallback option if the Broncos chose to go in that direction, but Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III are better fits in head coach Gary Kubiak's offense. Regardless of which one winds up in Denver, none of them figure to be anything more than a QB2 for fantasy purposes.

|Buccaneers | Mike Evans feels he was held back
Mon, 29 Jun 2015 19:00:33 -0700
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans is expected to play more on an island in 2015 as the "X" receiver in Tampa Bay's new offense, which is the same role offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter created for Atlanta Falcons WR Julio Jones during Koetter's time with that organization. He said Monday, June 29, that the QB carousell of Josh McCown and Mike Glennon last year held him back, too, so he is excited about a potential breakout with QB Jameis Winston.
Fantasy Tip: Evans posted huge numbers last season, finishing with over 1,000 yards while scoring 12 touchdowns. If he can improve on those numbers he will be a Top 5 fantasy option at his position. Look for him to fly off the board rather early on draft day.

Oregon CCO Plan Gets Federal Money
The Obama administration is buying into an ambitious health care initiative in Oregon, to the tune of $1.9 billion over five years.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Thursday
it has tentatively agreed to help Oregon pay the startup costs of a
plan that would improve coordination among care providers and
better manage chronic conditions for 600,000 patients in the
state's Medicaid program.
The move shows that the federal government believes the concept
has potential to save money. State officials estimate the plan will
save $11 billion over the next decade through a reduction in
duplicated treatments and unnecessary hospitalizations.
Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber hopes to prove that states can
save billions of dollars on Medicaid without sacrificing the
quality of health care.

The Real G | Boise Goes On An Electric Car Date with Worm Tongue
Contributing Monkie Boise Thomas
Topics of Interest Actor, Brad Dourif, Electric Vehicle, Hollywood, Rav 4
Published on November 18, 2009
Section G Living, G Living Shows, Pop Culture / Celebrities, The Real G Show / G Living Live
When G Living told me I'd be cruising around with an actor named "Brad" in his electric car, I was like, "Whoa! I wonder if Angie and the kids'll be in the back seat?"
"No," they answered. "Not Brad Pitt. Brad Dourif." I went to the Internet Movie Database to make sure I knew who they were talking about, and when I saw that the character actor had a amazingly diverse resume dating back to an Oscar-nominated performance in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", I was like, "Whoa! That's even cooler than Brad Pitt!"
The ride was fun. And so was our chat, which extended far beyond movies and electric cars.

Biblical Baby Names
When looking for the "perfect" baby name, more and more soon-to-be parents are digging deep into the Bible to find a unique biblical baby name. Biblical names have interesting character and a sense of tradition to them.
If you've chosen certain qualities that you wish to bestow on your child, those qualities may be hiding behind a name from the passages of the Old or New Testament. Many of these names were quite common in biblical times, but fell from popularity and are waiting for you to re-discover them for your little "Adam" or "Eve."

White People, You Will Never Look Suspicious Like Trayvon Martin
White People, You Will Never Look Suspicious Like Trayvon Martin
I will never look suspicious to you. Even if I have a black hoodie, a pair of jeans and white sneakers on...in fact, that is what I wore yesterday...I still will never look suspicious. No matter how much the hoodie covers my face or how baggie my jeans are, I will never look out of place to you. I will never watch a taxi cab pass me by to pick someone else up. I will never witness someone clutch their purse tightly against their body as they walk by me. I won't have to worry about a police car following me for two miles, so they can "run my plates." I will never have to pay before I eat. And I certainly will never get "stopped and frisked." I will never look suspicious to you, because of one thing and one thing only. The color of my skin. I am white.
I was born white. It was the card I was dealt. No choice in the matter. Just the card handed out by the dealer. I have lived my whole life privileged. Privileged to be born without a glass ceiling. Privileged to grow up in the richest country in the world. Privileged to never look suspicious. I have no guilt for the color of my skin or the privilege that I have. Remember, it was just the next card that came out of the deck. But, I have choices. I got choices on how I play the hand I was dealt. I got a lot of options. The ball is in my court.
Thanks for sharing this, F55. What a truly horrible story.What Everyone Should Know About Trayvon Martin (1995-2012)
1. Zimmerman called the police to report Martin's "suspicious" behavior, which he described as "just walking around looking about." Zimmerman was in his car when he saw Martin walking on the street. He called the police and said: "There's a real suspicious guy. This guy looks like he's up to no good, on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around looking about… These a**holes always get away" [Orlando Sentinel]
2. Zimmerman pursued Martin against the explicit instructions of the police dispatcher:
Dispatcher: "Are you following him?"
Zimmerman: "Yeah"
Dispatcher: "OK, we don't need you to do that."
3. Prior to the release of the 911 tapes, Zimmerman's father released a statement claiming "[a]t no time did George follow or confront Mr. Martin." [Sun Sentinel]
4. Zimmerman was carrying a a 9 millimeter handgun. Martin was carrying a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea. [ABC News]
5. Martin weighed 140 pounds. Zimmerman weighs 250 pounds. [Orlando Sentinel; WDBO]
6. Martin's English teacher described him as "as an A and B student who majored in cheerfulness." [Orlando Sentinel]
7. Martin had no criminal record. [New York Times]
8. Zimmerman "was charged in July 2005 with resisting arrest with violence and battery on an officer. The charges appear to have been dropped." [Huffington Post]
9. Zimmerman called the police 46 times since Jan. 1, 2011. [Miami Herald]
10. According to neighbors, Zimmerman was "fixated on crime and focused on young, black males." [Miami Herald]
And so on...
(Of course, we should keep in mind that this sort of thing happens all the time in some variation or another. We've only heard about Martin because he is palatable to white middle-class mores. If he actually was a thief or a drug dealer, we'd have never heard of this story.)
I was surprised that it was hitting the headlines so long after the horrendous incident. At least the MSM are covering the fact that Zimmermann was never booked or jailed and that the police messed up the crime scene. God help us. It's bad enough with the police on the loose, and people with PTSD hallucinating they're surrounded by enemy soldiers. Now the vigilantes are out there too.
Martin's grades are irrelevant. His cheerful personality is irrelevant.
What's relevant is systemic racism kills men and women of colour, with impunity, over and over again.
A white resident could not imagine or conceive that a young Black man could be allowed to walk about in his (gated) community.
It doesn't get much clearer than this.
P.S. I read that excellent blog from the OP and posted it on my Facebook wall. It's excellent.
this is pretty much the same thing as the klan. A bunch of armed, aggressive racist white guys hunting down and murdering innocent black people.
Back then theyd say he looked at a white girl, now they just say he's "looking about"....
Actually, there's another take on this story. George Zimmerman's mother is a Latina immigrant.
When I googled his name and "latino" (since I thought he looked Latino) I was instantly directed to the Conservative Citizens Council site (neo-KKK, neo-nazi), where contributors went out of their way to express indignation that he was identified as "white" and indulged their anti-Hispanic racism. This is interesting because in Florida there have been numerous cases of African Americans being shot or abused by Latino policemen, who enjoy relative impunity. There have even been calls for the investigation of the mayor of Miami for his reluctance to address the issue.
I wouldn't even venture to guess at the reason, but anti-Black sentiment seems to be high among Latinos. "Euro-American" racists enjoy the spectacle of minority-on-minority violence.
Anyway, Zimmerman strikes me as being a rather disfunctional person, with identity problems of his own that he takes out on African-Americans.
The story (democracynow.org, March 20) is appalling for various reasons, from the failure of the police to detain Zimmerman and their failure to use Martin's cellphone to trace his identity, leaving his body in the morgue for days while his parents filed a missing persons report, to MSM giving credence to Zimmerman's father's story of his 250-lb son being pursued by an unarmed 160-lb 17-year old. The FBI and the Justice Dept. are on the case, finally. Let's see how it plays out. I'm afraid it's a lose-lose situation, as the white racists will go out of their way to play up Zimmerman's Hispanic/immigrant background.
On the 911 tapes, Zimmerman (known hereafter as RP (racist prick)) admitted that Trayvon was running away (most likely alarmed at being followed by a cop wannabe yahoo) and then ignoring the 911 dispatchers advice, RP chased him down. He went out of his way to provoke a confrontation, contrary to what RP's father tried to say.
One of the 911 tapes is very chilling and horribly sad. The female caller was reporting the struggle behind her house. You can hear Trayvon pleading for help, crying, begging "no, no, no", followed by a gunshot and then silence. The female caller seemingly realized what had happened and started to cry.
The witness reports indicate that the guy on top during the struggle was wearing a white shirt - not what Trayvon was wearing. One of the witnesses claims that RP had risen to his feet when he shot Trayvon who was still laying on the ground. RP suffered some facial lacerations, etc., because undoubtedly Trayvon knew he was fighting for his life, so one could surmise that a very pissed off RP could very well have stood up and executed Trayvon.
The story has been in the news for a while but at first there was more information coming out about Trayvon's background than anything else - i.e. make excuses for the RP. So what if Trayvon had been suspended from school for a few weeks??? I was a straight A student and I was suspended a few times and expelled once - one time for calling a teacher a hypocrite, another for smoking pot, another for having fun in the bathroom with my beau, etc. Being suspended does not indicate violent tendencies or anything along those lines, despite the initial spin was that the suspension may have been for a violent incident, drug use, etc. Even if those allegations were true, that does not give RP the right to execute a young man.
One (or more) congressional representatives are trying to get the US deparment of justice involved to force the hand of local authorities to lay charges. Supposedly the local DA is reviewing the case and will render a decision in a few weeks. One wonders why the decision will take a few weeks. Certainly there is more than ample information to issue an arrest warrant, or at least there would be enough information for an arrest if the shooter were a young black man.
Thanks Kara. Great post.
Ta-Nehisi Coates: The Sham Investigation Into Trayvon Martin's Killing
This is not about Zimmerman.
I agree with you, Maysie... up to a point.
The racist fringe wants to make it about him, and I hope they don't manage to. Some Blacks might pick up on the fact that he is one more Latino who had it out for them, like the Mayor of Miami and the police (I'm talking perception here, in the context of a string of Latino on Black attacks over the past several years). And it might well become about Zimmerman once it gets to court and the psychiatrists start duking it out about his insecurity and his own identity problems... I'd bet that the defense will try to come up with an argument along those lines... But you're absolutely right: this is not the time to speculate about what will be made of Zimmerman, but to mourn for his victim and to condemn the heinous crime and the heinous conduct of the Sanford police.
25 years ago, when I was living in the US south, an unarmed child (aged 12) was shot to death in a pinball arcade by a police officer with a record of racist brutality. The cop got off. This sparked a riot in the poorest of Black communities in the city -- Overtown, a stone's throw away from the very chic Coconut Grove in Miami, Florida.
It's been so long, but just thinking about it still pisses me off.
Here's another interesting article on this case from John McWhorter about "What the Trayvon Martin Case Tells us About Being Black in America"The very nature of being black in the United States is now marked insidiously and essentially by the perceived reality of constantly being forced to deal with malevolent police forces. Indeed, a representative example of the black condition is what black journalist Deborah Mathis, in her syndicated column in 1997, called "Blackmotheritis": "a nervous disorder afflicting millions of black women with adolescent or teenaged children, particularly the mothers of boys." Mathis explains how she told her son:
Keep your hands out of your pockets. Don't reach under your shirt. If there's an itch, just live with it. In winter, keep your jacket open.
Mathis wasn't kidding:
The other day, on a brief shopping foray, Joseph popped his hand beneath his shirt to rub a mosquito bite. "Joseph!" I shouted. My son's name fell hard from my mouth as if it were a pain to say it. "Get your hand ..." "Okay, Ma," he said impatiently, then muttered something that seemed, at once, mad and sad. "I just don't want ..." I began, ruefully. "I know, Ma, I know. I'm sorry."
Trayvon Martin: The Lingering Memory Of Dead Boys
When I was young, girls were not mere bystanders as we watched our mothers groom our brothers to live in a world that feared them. Boys were taught not to look police, security guards, or anyone with authority directly in the eye. They should say only "yes sir" or "no sir." We, too, were in training, learning to protect the men we loved. We became our mothers' surrogates, reminding the guys to "keep cool," to "keep quiet." We knew they wanted to impress us, but we begged them not to talk back, as boys always do.
Today, at 41 years old, my girlhood is behind me, but the memories of dead boys linger. Most childhood fears are terrors that you grow out of. As you age, you realize that there is no monster under the bed.
But the worry that someone will look at a black man and deem him to be "suspicious," and feel justified in killing him, is a threat that only deepens as he grows older. If he is lucky enough to get older.

Surely not because of that.
/quote] Hoodeet (JW)
I would think it's not because of that but THAT is symptomatic of how fucked up a state it is... but on second thoughts it probably contributes to making it even more fucked up.
Remember what happened to that poor Canadian snowbird couple sitting quietly in their trailer getting dinner when a crazed man drove his car up to their door, jumped out of the car and ran into the trailer armed with a gun? The old man was killed and the wife taken hostage while threatening to kill his own wife and children, who were outside... the crazed man then shot himself, as I recall (or was he killed by the cops?). That poor woman.
Who the hell would want to vacation there any more?
Florida does have a very special --and not exactly sunny-- place in the collective memory of Black folk. The comedian Moms Mabley used to say: "I call it "they-ami" 'cause it sure ain't "my-ami". You go down on the Greyhound and they chase you out with the bloodhounds."
Assassinations At Home and Abroad - by Jenina Pierre
"The rule of law is everywhere in retreat. Racist vigilante justice trumps Black's right to life in Florida and a growing number of 'shoot first' states, while the US president claims the right to kill at will, internationally. 'The Florida laws are the local articulation of a US foreign policy that deploys murder and mayhem at any sign of a threat.' Eric Holder, the nation's top lawman, can order assassination without trial, yet is now tasked to investigate Trayvon Martin's murder.."
I would think it's not because of that but THAT is symptomatic of how fucked up a state it is... but on second thoughts it probably contributes to making it even more fucked up.
If I actually I took that sort of logic to heart, I suppose it could go some way towards explaining much; as I do indeed patronize a drive-thru liquor window. Obviously when you're getting wine such a convenience caters well enough to the undiscerning palate.
[White]Homeowner won't be charged for killing [Black] 20-year-old hiding from police
No charges will be filed against a homeowner in Slinger, Wisconsin, who shot and killed a 20-year-old man who ran into an enclosed porch to hide from the police.
Washington County District Attorney Mark Bensen said the unidentified homeowner acted in self-defense under Wisconsin's new "castle doctrine" law. It assumes that homeowners are justified when using deadly force against intruders.
Bo Morrison of West Bend was among those scampering from a nearby underage drinking party the police raided on March 3.
Washington County prosecutors said Morrison tucked himself between a dresser and refrigerator in the homeowner's porch. When the resident asked him what he was doing there, Morrison reportedly stood up, raised a hand and took a step toward the homeowner. That's when the owner shot him in the chest and told his wife to call 9-1-1.
Authorities said the homeowner was the one who called police about the drinking party. He had confronted a couple people in car with loud music, according to authorities.
Super video from men of Howard University
The Howard University men that are part of the Howard Students For Justice group created the video above that asks viewers to check their biases about black men.
"Contrary to what America has led many to believe all young black males are not suspicious, we don't deserve to be harassed, murdered, prosecuted or denied the protections of the justice system all because America thinks we are suspicious," say one Howard alumni as images of other black male students scroll through the screen.

You got a problem? Well, now you do.
Trayvon Martin had it coming, or so we will soon be led to believe. The surely unattractive details of his short life as a black man in America will tumble forward—his troubles in school, the weed baggie that got him suspended, the altercation in which police and George Zimmerman claim he was the aggressor. He was a maladjusted, Negro man-child, so ferocious he could kill an armed man with his bare hands. He had to die.
Yesterday, local law enforcement offered a preview of this old, familiar narrative when someone leaked Zimmerman's account of the night to the Orlando Sentinel. According to the Sentinel, Zimmerman had given up his hunt of Martin and was returning to his SUV when the 17-year-old caught him by surprise. Do you have a problem, Martin is said to have asked, before answering for himself, "Well, you do now." He reportedly began pummelling Zimmerman, leading the armed man to shoot and kill.
Sadly, it's necessary to point out that there isn't an imaginable scenario in which an armed man can shoot an unarmed child to death and it be okay. But set that obvious fact to the side. Trayvon Martin did in fact have it coming. He was born black and male in the United States and was thus marked for death. The cruelness of our economy and of our criminal justice system isn't reserved for men or for black people. But there is a particularly gendered and particularly racist way in which black men are set upon in this country, most acutely those who don't have the resources to push back. And it has a very long, still relevant history.
Like I said, Trayvon Martin was marked for death already, statistically at least. As a black infant, he was more than twice as likely to die as his white peers. In his teens, he was at least one and a half times as likely to meet an early death as his white peers. Homicide is the leading cause of death for black men his age, and comes at a rate many times every other racial or ethnic group. If he had reached his 20s, he had a 1 in 8 chance of going to prison, because that empty bag of marijuana he had at school would have meant something very different for him than it does for the middle class white kids who use drugs at higher rates. He'd have gone on to live in a country in which nearly 4 in 10 black children live in poverty, in which 1 in 4 black households lack food security.
The fact is the U.S. often seems like it's built to kill black people. This is not to say racism is equally lethal today as it was even a single generation ago. But it is to say that the same set of deeply ingrained ideas about what black people have coming to us justified the brutality of yesterday and today alike. And one particular manifestation of those ideas routinely leads to the early death of men like Amadou Diallo and Sean Bell and Oscar Grant and Trayvon Martin.
Read the whole thing.
Just one month after 17 year-old Trayvon Martin was murdered on the public streets by a vigilante in Sanford, Florida, a 32 year-old Iraqi woman named Shaima Alawadi was beaten to death with a tire iron in her home in San Diego. Alawadi was a Muslim woman who wore the hijab. A note by her body read, "Go back to your own country you terrorist." Inferior minds, poisoned with racism, have attributed Martin's death to the hoodie which he was wearing. But attacks on Blacks which focus on their attire extend from the hoodie to how low they hang their pants off their butts, how they wear their baseball caps, & whether or not their garb signifies gang membership--because clothing has become the symbol of racist hatred. The imputation against Muslim women is that they are coerced (since women can't have religious commitments or ideas of their own) by men & religion to wear the veil. While the dominant culture encourages women to "flaunt it if you've got it", more modest women are vilified as victims &/or terrorists & freedom of religion is reduced to confetti. While the perpetrators of these murders bear full responsibility for their crimes, the media has played a central role in creating hostility & hatred against Blacks & Muslims & in whipping up hysteria against their attire. Every time we see another report or article with such imputations, we should take out our poison pens & make our voices heard & we should protest, as hundreds of thousands are doing now in support of justice for Trayvon Martin.
Trayvon Martin, Troy Davis and the 20112 Election - by Bruce Dixon
"When Obama likened Trayvon Martin to his imaginary son, and that there ought to be a national debate about something or other, what did that mean? It might mean that he wants the votes of those outraged by the murder, but Obama isn't prepared to do much of anything to deserve them beyond claiming to feel our pain...
On the other hand, in the interests of making some whites feel better about themselves, the hacks at CNN sought out the tiny and deceptively named 'New Black Panther Party' which seems to exist purely to be called upon by the likes of Sean Hannity and Anderson Cooper when they need a comic black racist bogeyman.."
Self defence my ass. No sign of a broken nose, no sign of injuries to the back of his head - no sign of anything.
