Ras Vaughan's Unsupported, Sextuple-Rim-to-Rim - Page 3
Do you have any upcoming projects or plans? You announced the R2R2Rx3 just a couple of days before it started. Should we expect more surprises?
I was a bit secretive about the Grand Canyon project because I knew it would be a prestigious achievement and I really thought it was low-hanging fruit. It think there are a LOT of people who could have done it both faster and in better style, so I didn't want to shoot my mouth off ahead of time and give someone the opportunity to scoop me. But it will be fun to see those people come forward and show what can be done with the Triple Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim. It can probably be done in the 48-hour range under the right weather conditions.
This season I'm fascinated with projects in the 130-mile range. That's an intriguing distance, and pleasantly non-standard. I've already blabbed most of my projects for this year on my Altra Ambassadors profile page. A lot of what I'm doing this year is multiple loops. Running a trail two or three or four times in a go is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in a trail and its ecology. It's big enough, intense enough and takes long enough that you get to experience living a portion of your life on that trail. You get to orbit through as a cog in the diurnal and nocturnal machinery of the wild.
But 10 years from now I think people will look back on what I'm doing with a resounding "meh," if not a "hurr durr." I think it's all well within what's predictable and humanly possible. My self-promotional machinations aside, I wouldn't expect to even be a footnote to the conversation. I tend to overthink things a bit. It's probably better for everyone if I just shut up and run.
You have a blog, a podcast and an Altra ambassadorship.
Yes, I am an Altra Ambassador, although a few of us like to spell it "AmBadAssador".
OK, you're an AmBadAssador, and you refer to yourself as UltraPedestrian. How would you describe your "brand" identity, and what would your logo look like?
UltraPedestrian is it. That term sums it up so wonderfully for me because it's all encompassing as far as forms and methods of motion go, and it's a lot easier to say than run-walk-hike-jog-trek-and-occasionally-sit-for-a-few-minutes as a description of what Kathy and I do. And that blend is what I enjoy and what fascinates me. Bipedal locomotion. Hominid movement. It's the very thing that distinguishes us from all the other mammals.
For a logo I'm toying with the idea of a silhouette of a pair of running Sasquatches on a red, gold and green field. But I'm uncertain as to whether Kathy would find it flattering to be depicted as a lady Sasquatch, so it might be back to the drawing board.
I think lady Sasquatches are hot, but everyone's taste is different. Somewhere you said that "Slower running is better running." Why so?
My philosophy of running/adventuring/bipedalism is to use the most efficient, enjoyable and sustainable form of movement for reaching the specific goal in those specific environs.
I occasionally do put up a respectable time. The first of my two loops on the Wonderland Trail last year would have been an FKT only a few years ago, for example.
But for me it comes down to fast running not being sustainable running. Just like Nascar driving is not sustainable driving. A competitive runner may have only one or two goal races for the year, and they train and run according to that goal: putting up one or two outstanding performances a year. But I think most runners would rather run well a hundred times a year. From my experience, slower running correlates with fewer injuries and faster recovery, and is optimal for fat-based fueling versus carbohydrate-centric fueling.
And enjoying running is key to it being sustainable. Our brains have receptors specifically designed to make running enjoyable, thus providing positive reinforcement, which begets more running.
But I am not against fast running. I don't think it's wrong. I am as impressed and inspired by and in awe of the elite runners as anyone else, and I respect and admire them. What I take issue with is a culture that worships speed as the only standard by which to judge achievement. It's time for Trail Culture to democratize running.
You have dreadlocks, write and sing in a Reggae band and run in red, yellow and green. What does Rasta have to do with running?
For me they are inextricably linked. The very language and imagery of Rastafari are rife with unrelenting foot travel. Life itself is referred to as a "trod." Growing dreadlocks as an action of spiritual livication is called "carrying locks." "Forward Ever, Backwards Never" is not only a fundamental ideal in the Rasta worldview, but also a simple, apt and penetrating ultrarunning mantra.
I am a Rasta Person and a runner, and each aspect permeates the other. Living Rastafari is my high aim in life, and that applies to my running as well as other facets of my life. It's funny because in the trail-running scene people see me with my locks down and have that impression of me, but that's not normally how you would see me. In a city or around town or traveling I usually have my locks coiled on top of my head and sealed in a turban. But the weight of it is too much when I am running.
My hair is heavy and can be uncomfortable and awkward. It wouldn't be worth it if it were just a cool hairdo. But my locks are a literal outgrowth of my spirituality. In the 1963 Coral Gardens Massacre untold numbers of Rastafari People were murdered and buried in the jungle by the Jamaican army for being outwardly identifiable as Rastafari. I know elders who survived that time and carried their locks at the risk of their very lives, so it is easy, and an honor, for me to carry my locks through a small amount of inconvenience and sweat.
So you're a spiritual guru, ultrarunner, Reggae singer, blogger, pod-caster, father and husband. A lot of people don't know that you also lived off the grid with your wife and daughter in a small cabin for years before moving into your present place. Do you ever ask yourself, "What else does a man have to do to get a reality show these days?"
Oh, man, that's funny. Although, if you think about it, "Healthy people consistently achieving their goals," isn't exactly the recipe for reality-TV gold. I don't think Kathy and I would generate enough drama to carry a typical reality-format show. But if a show like that could be used to encourage people to push a little beyond their comfort zones and see past their perceived limitations into the infinities of possibility, then sign me up.
Thanks so much for answering my questions. It probably won't have as big of a cultural impact as The UltraPedestrian Life™ reality show would, but hopefully this interview will introduce a few folks to your ongoing project and inspire them to try some things that they previously thought were impossible.

Oral Question Period
3:15 p.m.
Denis Paradis Minister of State (Financial Institutions)
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 83(1) I have the honour to table a notice of ways and means motion to amend the Excise Tax Act. I ask that you designate an Order of the Day for the consideration of the said motion.
Order in Council Appointments
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Brossard—La Prairie
Jacques Saada Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister responsible for Democratic Reform
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to table, in both official languages, a number of Order in Council appointments made recently by the government.
Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 110(1) these are deemed referred to the appropriate standing committees, a list of which is attached.
Committees of the House
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Paul Steckle Huron—Bruce, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have the privilege to present to the House, in both official languages, the first report of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food in accordance with its order of reference of Thursday, February 19, 2004.
The committee has considered votes 1b, 5b, 10b, 30b and 35b under agriculture and agri-food in the supplementary estimates (B) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004, and reports the same.
Carrie's Guardian Angel Law
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Art Hanger Calgary Northeast, AB
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-489, an act to amend the Criminal Code (dangerous child sexual predators).
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to reintroduce this private member's bill, entitled Carrie's guardian angel law.
The purpose of the bill is to ensure that the fullest force of the law is brought to bear on violent sexual predators. It carries a minimum sentence of life imprisonment in cases of sexual assault on a child that also involve repeated assaults, multiple victims, repeat offences, more than one offender, an element of confinement or kidnapping for an offender who is in a position of trust with respect to the child.
Under the provisions of the bill, an offender would be ineligible for parole for 20 years and ineligible for day parole or unescorted absence for 17 years.
I urge all members to support the bill.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Criminal Code
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Art Hanger Calgary Northeast, AB
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-490, an act to amend the Criminal Code (prohibited sexual acts).
Mr. Speaker, I pleased to reintroduce my private member's bill which seeks to raise the age of sexual consent from age 14 to age 16.
Parents across the country are usually shocked to discover that the legal age of sexual consent in Canada is only 14, which by the way is the lowest in the western world.
In this country a 14 year old is not allowed to vote, drive, consume alcohol or for that matter, smoke, yet the laws allow for that 14 year old to legally consent to sexual relations. The age of consent is too low. I believe that by raising the age of consent to 16, it will help protect our children from sexual exploitation.
I therefore appeal to the member of the House to support the legislation.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Injured Military Members Compensation Act
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Art Hanger Calgary Northeast, AB
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-491, an act to amend the Injured Military Members Compensation Act.
Mr. Speaker, the bill seeks to amend the short title of the Injured Military Members Compensation Act to add a reference to Major (Retired) Bruce Henwood, who fought tirelessly for changes to the Canadian Forces insurance plan.
Thanks to Major Bruce Henwood's unrelenting efforts, regular and reserve members of the Canadian Forces, regardless of rank, are now covered for accidental dismemberment while in the line of duty.
I believe inserting his name in the short title of the act, would be a fitting tribute to Major Henwood for his work on behalf of all our soldiers.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Youth Criminal Justice Act
Routine Proceedings
March 9th, 2004 / 3:20 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Gary Lunn Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-492, an act to amend the Youth Criminal Justice Act (home invasion offence).
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce my private member's bill to amend the Youth Criminal Justice Act. This bill would do a few things.
First, on the first offence of a home invasion for young offenders, subject to all the penalties, they would have to serve mandatory probation for a minimum of one year, until they are 18, and there would also be a mandatory curfew for that time. On a second offence, they would have a minimum sentence in a youth detention centre of 30 days in addition to any other punishment.
The second part of the bill deals with the custodial parents. When they sign an undertaking to supervise those probation terms and if they are aware of a breach, they must report that breach to the authorities. Failure to report that breach would result in a summary offence punishable by $2,000 or six months in jail.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Richard Marceau Charlesbourg—Jacques-Cartier, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to table two series of petitions that are quite thick.
These signatures of hope are part of the United Church of Canada campaign to do more for AIDS, particularly with respect to education and investing in fighting this terrible disease.
Routine Proceedings
3:25 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Darrel Stinson Okanagan—Shuswap, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition with signatures collected by the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada addressing the issue of marriage. The petitioners state that the best foundation for families in the raising of children is the institution of marriage that is the union of a man and a woman.
They call upon Parliament to uphold the commitment made in June 1999 to ensure that marriage be recognized as the union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others.
Routine Proceedings
3:25 p.m.
Marlene Catterall Ottawa West—Nepean, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to join my colleague from the Bloc Quebecois in presenting copies of the Signatures of Hope petitions circulated by the United Church of Canada. These petitions contain 18,000 signatures from every part of Canada.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to take action to help in the fight against HIV-AIDS by cancelling bilateral debt and urging the cancellation of multilateral debt, by increasing Canada's overseas development assistance and by doubling our own domestic HIV-AIDS strategy.
Routine Proceedings
3:25 p.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to table a petition today signed by thousands of Canadians as part of the United Church of Canada's Beads of Hope Campaign.
Specifically, the petition urges the government to address the global HIV-AIDS pandemic by cancelling the crippling debt burden on impoverished nations, increasing Canada's ODA to .7% GNP, increasing Canada's share of the global fund, enhancing access to essential medicines and doubling federal funding for Canada's domestic AIDS strategy.
Routine Proceedings
3:25 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
James Rajotte Edmonton Southwest, AB
Mr. Speaker, it is also my pleasure and honour to join with colleagues from all parties to present petitions on behalf of the United Church of Canada and its Beads of Hope Campaign.
The petitioners call upon the Canadian government to cancel the burden of debt owed by developing nations that undermines their capacity to respond to the HIV-AIDS pandemic, to increase foreign aid and support for the UN global fight to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, to ensure that we can allow access by these nations to life preserving drugs and to double funding for the Canadian strategy on HIV-AIDS.
Routine Proceedings
3:25 p.m.
Paul Steckle Huron—Bruce, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions this afternoon which I want to present on behalf of petitioners from my riding.
The first has to do with the issue of marriage. These petitioners believe that marriage is the best foundation for families in the raising of children. They also believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, and because it is being challenged, this honourable House should uphold a motion passed in June of 1999 that called for marriage to continue to be recognized as the union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others.
They therefore pray that Parliament pass legislation to recognize the institution of marriage in federal law as being a union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others.
Routine Proceedings
3:25 p.m.
Paul Steckle Huron—Bruce, ON
Mr. Speaker, the second petition has to do with an issue which concerned a constituent of mine many years ago. This constituent, as we all know, is Steven Truscott. This man was charged, convicted and sentenced to hang by the neck until dead. Unusual circumstances surrounding the police investigation and the consequent conviction of Mr. Truscott remain today unanswered.
Therefore, the petitioners call upon Parliament to ask the current Minister of Justice to undertake a thorough re-examination of the case within a reasonable time period and to ensure that justice be restored to Mr. Truscott.
Routine Proceedings
3:25 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Gary Lunn Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions I am honoured to present today. The first petition is endorsed by 1,476 constituents of Saanich--Gulf Islands.
The petitioners request that the Canadian government ensure that the Department of Canadian Heritage and Canada Post renegotiate the library book rate with no increase, to be expanded to include all materials loaned to public libraries.
In my riding there are many gulf islands and this is the only way they can get this information. I therefore would encourage the government to take up the petitioners' request. I also would like to acknowledge all the great work that Jeanette Hughes has done for this cause.

I'm having a tough time describing the flavour of rooibos. Especially, because sometimes I feel like I taste different things in it. I might not be brewing it right.
Sometimes I taste something a little sweet and fruity in it. Other times? I feel like I taste almost cigarette smoke. I wish I could consistently get the sweet!
I'm making a genuine effort to cut back on caffeine, and this is the best alternative I've found to actual tea (though I still have a cup or so a day of that). Herbals tend to be too sweet for my all day sipping (good for breakfast, or a treat, but not for right next to the keyboard at work.)
I'm thinking I may try the rooibos jasmine to give a little added depth. Any other suggestions on what to change?

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (121 votes).
In short: Outstanding 10K raceIn full: Really loved running this 10K, i wasn't chasing my PB on a day like it was, extremely warm day paid ends to that. It was brilliantly organinsed and supported, really good turnout, very good challenging course, i actually enjoyed the last hill as it provided some much needed shade from the sun. Absolute top drawer event and loved the engraved glass momento....well done to Aldridge Running club....to you i saluteDate of review: June 9, 2008
In short: Superbly organised, great day out. In full: Absolutely excellent day out. Organisation was spot on. All marshals were brilliant for encouragement, even if the organisers had put them all in plastic bags for the hottest day of the year!!! Minor gripe over water stations, as mid point one was rationing water when I got there and second station had run out, but such a hot day demand was probably greater than expected. Overall, favorite race of year, superb organisation, well done ARC (Again).PS. Suberb momento! How did they do that for the price? Date of review: June 9, 2008
In short: My first ever event and hard work but worth every step.In full: The local support was amazing and the hills testing. I will treasure my engraved paperweight forever! My only tiny "criticism" is that on such a hot day, it would have been better to give outbottles of water at the half way water point as by the time I reached the second water station, my water was empty, the water station was empty and I was running on lucozade (ugggh!). However, the marshalls were most encouraging and the organisation at the finish line was excellent, particularly as I was so diorientated for the first minute or so! Date of review: June 9, 2008
In short: great athmosphere matched by a glorious weatherIn full: well done fellow runners.good luck for your nxt run.apart frm d sun shinny day,we enjoyed r day n aldridge frm d races to d park.thanks to d organizers.i loved d memento but coz im a medal collector i hope nxt yr we can choose between havin a memento or a medal,additional fee for those who wants both,i want both.i was lookin for t shirts last yr im glad there were some for sale this yr.definitely b back with d kids nxt yr.keep it up aldridge run club,okDate of review: June 8, 2008

Great races for the kids as well! my 4 yr old really enjoyed his 300m race & getting his medal & goddy bag to boot. 1st time time in a race for me with a fire engine tearing past at the 2k ish mark!!!!. Good idea to put a water station in at the foot of the last hill.....Big thanks to all the marshalls, brilliant work by all you guy's & girls.Date of review: June 8, 2008
In short: Brilliant eventIn full: What can i say, used this as pat of my training for my half in a few weeks time, but got a lot more out of it than just a plod.Very impressed with it, wish i had a crack at my PB but i'll come back next year for that.Well done to everyone involved, you've done yourself proud.And how you got the weather onside i do not know.Date of review: June 8, 2008

- 3/4 pound wedge blue cheese (recommended Oregon blue ) room temperature
- 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- Handful of parsley sprigs
Heat the grill to high. Mix together the salt, pepper and thyme in a small bowl. Brush the steaks with oil on both sides and season with the salt mixture. Grill steaks until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness.
Just before the steaks are done, use a fork to mash the cheese with some of the cream, so that it is chunky but a bit creamy. Mound some on each steak, and let melt very briefly, so the steaks don't overcook. Remove to a platter and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Top with parsley sprigs and serve
Pair with your favorite Oregon IPA. A floral-like IPA will go better with this steak, as opposed to a hop heavy beer.
is the onion jam served on the side?
Served warm on top of the steak.

Acer Group, the world's second largest maker of personal computers, said that the recently released Microsoft Windows 7 operating system actually helped to increase sales of personal computers, which allowed the company to boost its revenue expectations.
"When we saw the features of Windows 7, we already knew that it would be good for demand. We have no plans to revise," said Gianfranco Lanci, chief executive officer of Acer, reports Reuters news-agency.
Acer's CEO said that the company was keeping its quarterly revenue outlook and maintaining a 15% sales growth target for next year.
Acer is the first large supplier of personal computers to confirm that Microsoft Windows 7 has actually become a sales boosting instrument. Perhaps, this is a testament of the high-quality of Windows 7.
Microsoft Windows 7 boasts with a number of improvements compared to its predecessor Windows Vista, which include improved stability, reliability, feature-set as well as support for numerous innovative technologies.

Do you have a top broiler?
GarlicLover,Welcome, are you happy with the pies you are baking now?
1/2" steel is probably your best bet. I'd bet you can get your bake time to at least 6-7 minutes using your broiler for 2-5 minutes depending on its strength. Do a search for 1/2" steel and don't look back.
Is it worth buying a pizza stone...?
Yes.Yes, however I believe with pizza there's so many things you can do in order to improve. If a pizza stone can do anything at 482 °F, I'd be willing to try it. So what are your thoughts?
the stone isn't magical, all it does it help store heat that the oven produces.
Anything important I should pay attention to when ordering, aside from the size of the stone?I'm planning to order from Amazon.de: http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1/278-6779263-7746338?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=pizzastein&sprefix=pizzastei%2Caps&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Apizzastein
Usually the ticker the better. Do a search on these forums for people who are having good luck with new Kiln shelf's you can get pretty cheap, a step up from that is 1/2 steel baking plates. I personally use a 3/4" fibrament stone, but its expensive and knowing what I know now, i would go with the kiln shelf or steel. Don't waste your money on a thin stone either, it will more than likely crack sooner rather than later, I was going through 1 one those cheap stones every month or so until I ponied up for the fibrament stone 3 or 4 years ago.
I understand that, but does a pizza stone require a higher max. temperature than what my oven is capable of? That's what I want to know.
How about 2,5 cm thickness, that's 0.98 inches? They're being sold on www.pizzastein.com.Dimensions: 40 x 30 cm x 2,5 cm (inches: 15.74 x 11.8 x 0.98)Material: "Chamotte" (other names: grog, firesand, clay)Also found one with 3 cm thickness (1.18 inches): http://shop.strato.de/epages/61223432.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61223432/Products/090401Thoughts? Which one is better?

Trail would be better than train
To the editor:
Years ago my wife and I camped along the Cape Cod bikeway (ex-railroad) and had a very enjoyable experience riding our bikes along the converted rail bed. We have also biked along the Erie Canal in the Pittsford-Fairport and Macedon-Palmyra areas on a number of occasions and always enjoyed the ride. Having a safe, flat, smooth pathway with pedestrians as the only obstacles makes for a wonderful ride. Having a route through nearly undisturbed wild forest would be even better.
The thoughts of hundreds of tourists boarding the train in Syracuse or elsewhere for an overnight or weekend excursion to the Adirondacks is enough to warm the heart of anyone in the travel or tourism business. However, realistically speaking, once the novelty of the trip has worn off and the train aficionados have had their fill, the cost of running and maintaining the rolling stock and the infrastructure of the railroad will far outstrip the revenue generated. Having enjoyed the rail trip on the Rocky Mountaineer from Banff to Vancouver, once was enough, and I don't have any desire to do it again. Railroads need to carry freight in order to break even, and a rail line through the Adirondacks will never experience that kind of revenue.
Therefore, I am wholeheartedly in favor of the bikeway-walkway-snowmobile trail. If it were to be extended from Lake Placid to Old Forge, I believe that it would rival the Northville-Placid Trail if some lean-tos were built along the way. The chance to observe birds and wildlife along the way would be better than many of the current bike trails in the Northeast. In short, I feel that it is an idea whose time has come and it is time to quit talking about it and get started.

After watching rookie QB Jarret Lee light it up for the Chargers last night, going 15 of 22, 225 yards plus, it made me sick again that Les Miles had him sit on the bench for the entire NCAA Championship game!!!
Les Miles has dismissed The Honey Badger from the team for testing positive for Cannibis.

From ESPN...
If you know anything about Mathieu's past, his dismissal might not come as much of a surprise. He was largely raised by his grandparents and later an uncle. His mother has battled drug addiction throughout her life, and his biological father has spent most of his adult life in prison. LSU afforded Mathieu an opportunity to outrun his past, but he failed to take advantage.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my podcast – I'd be thrilled to have you as an upcoming guest. I have a strong knowledge of the Jordan-era and basketball in general.
Recent guests, Peter Vecsey, Christian Laettner, Bill Wennington and Tom Dore kindly allowed me to link to their Twitter handles, should you wish to ask about my interview preparedness.
Why do you hope to speak with me? Who are you?
My only claim to fame is this hook shot that aired on Australia's Funniest Home Videos:
I've been an enormous basketball fan for over 23 years. Pre-internet, I read many hoops magazines voraciously and studied the back of NBA trading cards to learn player facts and figures.
Then I started watching games on VHS – fast forward to 2012 – the digital age allows me to converse with incredible guests, whom I've admired from afar for many years. Soppy? Perhaps. Do I genuinely love doing this? Absolutely. I am most grateful to all my guests.
How will you talk with me?
I use Skype to contact my guests. I speak with you on your preferred device; recording our call with Evaer.
What happens after we've talked?
Following our chat, I open the resulting sound file on my computer – editing the conversation into a fully-formed podcast episode, using Audacity.
Where and when will the episode be available online?
The podcast (mp3 files) home is here on my website. The finished episode will be available online, usually within 72 hours of our conversation.
Episodes are also made available through iTunes and Facebook.
Can I help promote our conversation?
If you are active on Twitter or Facebook, it would be fantastic if you can assist promoting our finished episode. I'll send you a confirmation tweet (or e-mail, Facebook message, etc) with specifics; if you can re-tweet / distribute that information to your followers, this will allow for maximum reach to fans of the show.
What if I have more questions?
Easy! Simply contact me on Twitter or Facebook and I'll be more than happy to answer anything you would like to know.

Economic outlook bright
Thursday, March 28, 2013
Rich MacDonald, economics professor and co-author of the St. Cloud Area Quarterly Business Report.
Nearly three in four area businesses surveyed say they expect increased business activity in six months' time. And, the St. Cloud Index of Leading Economic Indicators has hit an historic high.
These and other findings by the St. Cloud Area Quarterly Business Report suggest favorable economic conditions and a continuation of the region's economic expansion, according to St. Cloud State economics professors Rich MacDonald and King Banaian, authors of the report (PDF).
Among 75 area businesses surveyed, 5.3 percent expect a decrease in business activity in six months, while 73 percent expect an increase and 20 percent expect no change, according to the report.
The survey is also upbeat on current business activity. Banaian and MacDonald write: "Most of the February 2013 current activity survey numbers are well above the normal readings for this time of the year."
The index of leading economic indicators "is up 9.5 percent from January 2012 to January 2013. This series has substantial monthly fluctuations, but its six-month moving average is currently at the highest point in its 14-year history," according to MacDonald and Banaian.
Index highlights include increased help-wanted advertising in the St. Cloud Times, more hours worked and a decline in new claims for unemployment insurance. According to the report: The St. Cloud area is within 1,000 workers of reaching its highest payroll levels, set in the mid-2000s.
More specifically, the index of leading economic indicators is higher now than in 2007, before the Great Recession.
The St. Cloud Area Quarterly Business Report has been conducted every three months since December 1998. View an executive summary, employment figures, survey responses to Gov. Mark Dayton's tax proposals and more in the five-page report.
Central Minnesota's definitive, survey-based analysis of economic activity is published by Times Media, Greater St. Cloud Development Corp., and these St. Cloud State entities: Center for Economic Education, Department of Economics and the School of Public Affairs.

Andrew Schlichting is more than just a student of track and field. He is also one in the classroom. The North Oaks, Minn. native has been named to the USTFCCA (United States Track & Field Cross Country Association) Division III All-Academic team. To make this prestigious contingent, one must carry a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or better and have met either of the following athletic standards: a student-athlete must
have competed in an NCAA Indoor or Outdoor Championship or finished the regular
season ranked in the national top 35 in an individual event.
It is the second All-Academic note for Schlichting. In may, he earned a spot on the COSIDA (College Sports Information Directors Association) District 6 All-Academic team
The Mounds View High School grad, who finished with a 3.88 GPA, threw the weight 60-8 to
win the MIAC Indoor title in March. Once outside, he expanded his repertoire to
throwing the hammer and the discus. His 178-2 hammer throw defeated the field at
the MIAC Outdoor Meet in Moorhead in early May. His top effort of 182-6 recorded March
31 at St. John's was the second best throw by a MIAC athlete and the 25th best by
any D-III athlete this spring. His top Discus throw of 135-8 ranked him 13th in
the MIAC.
He was the only MIAC men's trackster to earn Athlete Of The Week honors in
the Indoor and Outdoor seasons in 2012.
In addition to his track exploits at Hamline, Schlichting also played two
years of football on the defensive line.

See pirates, it IS a knitting club!
Come on and share what you're working on, ask for tips or advice. Hot chocolate, tea and biscuits available.
I'm making my first pair of socks, and a cardigan for myself, plus a scarf for a forumite.
I'm doing a shawlette for me but its got wool in so it might itch me and then I'll need to give it away.
I'll start another Yarn Harlot scarf in purple soon
Probably already have
I'm doing a feather and fan baby blanket too but have got in a pickle and need help, its full of yarn overs and knit two togethers so not easy to rip back
I am frequently told that I am annoying so it's nothing new to me!
I'm doing a sleeveless cowl neck jumper in a sort of purple marl wool. Nearly done!
The next project is a raspberry coloured jumper with a cable pattern neck. I should have gone and bought the wool for that today but I didn't have time.
moomoo do you still do needlepoint?
KK my daughter knits but then forgets how to "turn the corner" as she puts it
I tried making some cushion tops once in neeldepoint, but they ended up wonky.
Beebs, would a life line help with ripping back your blanket? I've seen people mention them on Rav, but haven't used them...I'm guessing it's a spare thread you use like a stitch marker along a row to indicate the beginning of a pattern.
Just downloaded the scarf pattern, only 28 rows for my sock so I'll start the scarf tonight.
I think that is what I will do, Kwilter but having ripped back I have 158 stitches not a 150 and I'm not very good at reading my knitting yet. I'll take it to S&B on Tuesday and get help from a clever knitter.
I can knit but I can't cast on. It really annoys me. I reallly must learn.
I wanted all my nan's knitting stuff when she passed away but something happened (possibly someone chucked it all out or gave it away before she died) and there were only a few bits and pieces left. Breaks my heart. Should have said sooner. I did get her sewing box though.
I used to knit, but it's so hard to find knitting wool/yarn these days - unless you're willing to fork out for Rowan stuff.
Where do you all get your patterns/yarns from?
I still have all my needles
Mouse that is sad, about your nan's stuf.
Mr W is right there are some great tutorials on You Tube and if you have a local yarn shop they will help you usually.
KK, I remeber helping a year 2 class sew Mother's day bookmarks, dog it was hard work with some of them
I feel a bit of knit and purl coming on......
I'll have a look at that site, thanks Beebs.
Local markets are a good source of cheaper yarn if you don't want to fork out for the named stuff Wilkie. My local wool shop also has a stock of non-branded dk in a range of colours but they do tend to push the branded stuff first as that's where the mark up is I suppose.
A lot of my knitting stuff is 'inherited' from my mum and granny, shame about all your granny's stuff Mouse as it's so expensive to start from scratch.
Can somebody remind me what my username of Rav is? It's similar to this one but not the same as that was already taken.
Bloody cheek!
Someone has stolen my identity and used my name on Ravelry!
Huff! I've had to use a different name - now I'll be like TP and forget what it is
Tickled Pink wrote (see)
My local wool shop ....
What's one of them?? Even the department stores where I live stopped selling wool years ago.
If you search on Ravelry you'll probably find one reasonably locally, Wilkie, they are really back in fashion again.
TP, I'll go and look for you

Given the environmental importance of the plantation site, conservationists are asking: Why there?has more than 400 million hectares of degraded forest land available for development, why not choose an area where the forest is already gone? "Given the versatility of oil palm and so much degraded, deforested land across the tropics, surely there are better places to make this kind of investment," said Nigel Sizer, director of the World Resources Institute's (WRI) Global Forests Initiative, who met with Herakles officials to express his concerns.
Environmentalists contend the proposed plantation will likely disrupt important wildlife migration routes.is half the size of Korup Park, could create a barrier for forest elephants traveling between Korup and Rumpi.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (72 votes).
In short: very slow and disorganised start. queuing for the finish line in the rain wasn't fun. The route was actually single-file at points, so very slow. Would not do it again.Date of review: May 22, 2006
In short: Good friendly race, pity about the chaos at the finish Date of review: May 22, 2006
In short: Poorly organised start and finish, too crowded on a narrow courseIn full: There was no organisation at the start, runners and non-runners were just stood in a giant crowd making it impossible to get into a decent stride especially as the course was so narrow. Runners at the back of the field faced long queues, and couldn't even run across the finish line as the queue was back onto the course. Ridiculous! Good charity, but they need to change the course to make it better for runners.Date of review: May 21, 2006
In short: Shame about the delayed start In full: Late entrants shouldn't be allowed to hold up start this caused every event to be late but enjoyed the race once startedDate of review: May 26, 2005

In short: Do it for the doughnut!In full: An excellent race, although the very warm weather for the 2004 event made the hills all the steeper. A two lap course with a fair climb to Ally Pally park (twice, obviously) and a flatter bit around the back of Hornsey and the glories of the Wood Green sewage works, a couple of bottlenecks but nothing serious. Free doughnut at the end and great atmos in the park for start/finish.Date of review: April 26, 2005

Mars is the planet of action. It represents initiative, aggression and the ways in which we push ahead. On October 7 it flung itself into adventurous Sagittarius , where the sky is the limit. This visionary Fire sign is aimed toward the future and faraway places, stretching our boundaries and our physical capacities along the way. Impulsive Mars' presence there tends to increase restlessness and the inclination to take risks. Dealing with the myriad details of daily life may become more difficult during its six-week transit of Sagittarius, and it encourages an optimistic way of behaving that might not always correspond with reality. Tempering behavior based on external limits isn't the Saggie way of doing business.
Mars is the planet of go and Saturn is the planet of stop. The ringed planet also changed signs this month, entering scrutinizing Scorpio on October 5. The influence of this transit is almost the polar opposite of Mars in Sagittarius. The contrasts between them could signal some challenges in the weeks ahead as they tend to pull us in different directions.
The high hopes of Mars in Sagittarius may lead to dramatic crashes if they are not grounded with proper preparation and awareness of potential limits that lie ahead. Conflicts within us and among us may be sparked by this fundamental face-off between our most optimistic aspirations and the our most pessimistic fears. In some ways it's like wanting to drive at 100 miles an hour when the speed limit is 25. On the other hand, if Saturn's doubts dominate, potentially good ideas can be stifled before they are given a chance to be tried out.
Contrasting patterns like these represent high risk situations because co-ordinating the different drives of each planet can be very difficult. Yet when we are able to connect them constructively we can change the world. The visionary instincts of Mars in Sagittarius can sell big ideas and leap over obstacles, as long as the existing realities aren't ignored. Saturn in Scorpio knows how to cut out distractions, eliminate unnecessary activities and extract essential resources. In a way, it can provide the stable guidance needed for Mars' rocket ship ride in Sagittarius to reach its mark.
The challenge of managing the diverse forces is learning how to shift gears between pursuing our highest hopes and getting down to deal with concrete details. In fact, most of life's vexing contradictions aren't overcome by having one side dominate the other; they can be disarmed by being flexible enough to alter perceptions and actions according to which one is needed at a given moment. Adaptability, rather than force, makes it possible to do this.

Here's the strangely Suri-less Katie Holmes, clutching at her burgundy Derek Lam Newton Camera Bag and trying to look inconspicuous while New Yorkers to her left and right silently (or maybe not so silently) pass judgement. I personally love the retro styling of the Newton Camera Bag - it's reasonably sized, reasonably practical, and (relatively) reasonably priced at $1390 via Barneys. It also comes in black.
Now that it's fall, celebs of all stripes are trying to keep a super low profile in standard NYC neutrals (here's Selma Blair, failing massively). But in my humble opinion, Ms. Holmes, there's no better way to draw attention to yourself than fastening that very top collar button.
Katie is keeping busy on Broadway this autumn - she's currently in rehearsals for the black comedy "Dead Accounts", which is set to open November 29th. Derek Lam, by the by, will be following in the footsteps of Narcisco Rodriguez this spring when he designs a capsule collection for Kohl's.

As summer approaches, one may not think about how these hot months can be not-so-hot for a pet's health. Veterinary Pet Insurance released findings, which tracked insurance claims, of what the most dangerous days were for a four-legged companion in 2010, and many of them fell in June.
April, June and August seem to be the months that pet owners should keep an eye on their pets, especially around holidays. June 1 fell at number four for most visits to the veterinarian, the day after memorial day.
"The difference in the number of accidents treated between Sunday and Monday may indicate that treatment is more difficult to find on Sundays and holidays," said Dr. Carol McConnell, vice president and chief veterinary medical officer for the pet insurance company. "In case of an off-hours or holiday emergency, pet owners should know where to find the closest 24-hour animal hospital and have a plan for covering unexpected treatment cost.
McConnell adds that being prepared for your pet if there is an accident can be the difference between your furry friend surviving or not.
The rest of the top five most dangerous days include June 7, June 14, September 7 and June 21.

Local organizations relieved Violence Against Women Act reauthorized
LA CROSSE, Wis. - More than a year after Congress was unable to come to an agreement over renewing the Violence Against Women Act, President Barack Obama signed the law into reauthorization Thursday.
The law provides support to organizations that serve victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Last year, Congress couldn't agree that VAWA's funding should be expanded to help all victims, including the LGBT community and undocumented immigrants.
But the version the president signed into law Thursday includes those new protections.
Now that VAWA is back, several organizations in the La Crosse community are breathing a sigh of relief.19228046
The Domestic Abuse Reduction Team, or DART, has helped protect thousands of domestic violence victims from their abusers.
DART responded to 2,021 domestic incidents in La Crosse County last year.
But the program would struggle without Violence Against Women Act funding.
"A skeleton. We'd be able to run it. Unfortunately, it would only be a shadow of what we do now," said DART Law Enforcement Coordinator Investigator Tim O'Neill. "We would probably lose the victim services coordinator, multicultural advocates."
Now that VAWA is back, O'Neill is applying for another grant, like the $400,000 in funding DART got last time.
"It funds, like I said, most of the DART positions. The victim services coordinator's position is fully funded by that grant. My position as the law enforcement coordinator is funded by that grant. A lot of positions with our partners over at New Horizons are funded by that grant as well," said O'Neill.
New Horizons' shelter has been full since 2009.
Executive Director Ann Kappauf said, even when grants are scarce, they won't turn anyone away.
"Our services are free and confidential. Over the last five years, since the economy started to go downward, we've lost a lot of grant funding. But we are still providing the same amount of services," said Kappauf.
VAWA money helps keep New Horizons running. Kappauf said she's excited the latest version is more inclusive.
"To have it include victims of LGBT communities, Native American, immigrants, victims on college campuses, victims in communities of color -- it's including everyone. It's making sure that no one is left behind," said Kappauf.
Since the Violence Against Women Act originally passed in 1994, the national rate of domestic violence has decreased by 64 percent.
According to the National Task Force to End Sexual and Domestic Violence Against Women, local domestic violence programs across the country support more than 67,000 victims every 24-hours.

RTPI To Host Program On Mosquitoes, Ticks
The Roger Tory Peterson Institute will host a program focusing on mosquitoes and ticks, presented by special guest Jamie Haight, at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 11.
The event is free and open to the public; donations are appreciated.
As spring unfolds and summer approaches, people who spend time outdoors should be aware of, and use appropriate prevention against, various bugs and the diseases they can cause. Haight's presentation will provide an overview of these tiny but dangerous animals with a focus on the ones that are infectious to people and pets. Haight will discuss the life histories of mosquitoes and ticks, their habitats and ranges. He'll explain how arthropod-borne diseases are transmitted, their symptoms and prevention and share lots of good stories about his work in mosquito and tick surveillance, using specimen samples and traps.
Haight is a field biologist and senior lab technician for the state Department of Health Research Inc. Over the past 12 years he has received many certifications and trainings in public health, particularly relating to arthropod-borne diseases. In his role as a public health educator has given numerous programs to schools and organizations about creepy-crawlies in hopes to allay unwarranted fears about the natural world and at the same time educate people to know and protect themselves and their families from real risk factors connected with blood-feeding bugs they may encounter.
The Roger Tory Peterson Institute is located at 311 Curtis St., Jamestown. For more information, call 665-2473.

Some observers claim that modern complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) process technologies will not be able to scale beyond 16nm gate size (which is due in 2013, according to Intel Corp.) and principally new ways of making computer chips will need to be found. However, International Planning Working Group for Nanoelectronics sees no viable alternative to CMOS and believes that this tech will be used for decades to come.
Hundreds of research institutions around the world are looking into emerging devices that could someday replace charge-based CMOS, which forms the basis for today's computer chips. There have been predictions that as CMOS transistors continue to shrink, a point will eventually be reached at which quantum mechanical effects make them unusable or their power dissipation becomes prohibitive.
Intel is actively involved in the International Planning Working Group for Nanoelectronics (IPWGN), which collects and publishes data to stimulate and enhance inter-regional research cooperation in nanoelectronics. Among other things, the IPWGN tracks publicly funded research activities in three major regions – U.S., Europe, Japan. Some of the research topics include non-Boolean logic devices, metrology and characterization, modeling and simulation, and environmentally benign manufacturing.
As part of the IPWGN, Intel reported out at the International Nanotechnology Conference (INC) on Wednesday in Los Angeles, California. The IPWGN is reporting that a great deal of progress is being made, but no clear path beyond scaled CMOS has yet emerged. The IPWGN did identify numerous examples of inter-regional collaboration that could lead to a new path for Moore's Law, thereby ensuring the benefits of more computing capability at a lower cost per function.
