Keeper of the Trail - Page 2
In 2006, he set the speed record for Utah's 100-mile White Rim Trail, which he completed in 18 hours 43 minutes, and, in 2004, along with Ehret, a record of 32 hours 47 minutes on the 140-mile Kokopelli Trail, which stretches from Loma, Colorado, to Moab, Utah. Perhaps the most astounding of them all, in 2006, Bakwin ran Colorado's Hardrock 100-Mile Endurance Run, twice, for what he calls "a Contrived Double Hardrock." Hardrock is arguably the hardest 100-miler on earth. It traverses the rugged San Juan Mountains of Colorado, starting at an elevation of 9700 feet and climbing to 13,000 feet (and higher) seven times with 33,000 feet of cumulative elevation gain. Bakwin finished the back-to-back 100-milers in 3 days 18 hours 50 minutes. Burrell now refers to his record as the "Rockhard."
The process of researching a route and planning a speed-record attempt for Bakwin however, is less about setting records and more about aesthetics, style and love. He says, "This is not about the miles, it's about creativity and the love of trails and the outdoors."
Q: What sparked your interest in speed-records and starting the website, Fastest Known Time?
While Buzz [Burnell] and I were planning our JMT speed-record attempt, I spent a lot of time researching existing records began keeing a list. Then, after someone posted, "Is there a place where trail-records are kept?" on an online ultrarunning forum, I decided to launch the website devoted not to only displaying these records, but also preserving and sharing the stories that result from them. In the end, it's what we experience when we put ourselves on the line that's compelling and interesting.
Q: What current speed records do you consider the hardest to break?
Anything that Kilian Jornet, 23, of Sabadell, Spain, has done, such at the Tahoe Rim Trail (165 miles in 38 hours 32 minutes) in 2009, is going to be hard to beat. That guy is a monster.
The Pacific Crest Trail record of 2655 miles in 65 days 9 hours 58 minutes, set by Scott Williamson of Truckee, California, and Adam Bradley of Reno, Nevada, in 2009 is pretty astonishing. They backpacked in classic thru-hiker style, carrying all their gear, walking over 40 miles per day for 66 days, beating David Horton's fully-supported, ultrarunner-style record by almost a day.
But to me, the single most impressive record on the site is a round-trip from the base to summit of 14,254-foot Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, a route that involves challenging mountain running, fifth-class scrambling and about 5000 feet of vertical gain and loss. The record was set in 1979 by Chris Revely of Estes Park, Colorado, in 2 hours 4 minutes 27 seconds.
Q: What do you require as proof of a speed record?
I don't require anything; the onus is on the athlete, but I do offer some pointers for verification on the website and I encourage anyone to contact me if they have issues with any record that's posted. There have been some questions raised, but so far I haven't found compelling evidence to discount any records.
Q: Why do you think trail speed-records are seldom called into dispute?
Since many runners that break speed records win races, we have an objective measure of their athletic ability. For example, everyone knows that Darcy Africa is a kick-ass runner, so no one is particularly surprised that she smoked the Grand Canyon R2R2R, right?
But, when Brett Maune, an unknown runner, came out of nowhere and crushed the JMT record, people questioned it. I think his Barkley finish this year quelled many of those doubts. (Barkley "Marathons" is a 100-mile race in Frozen Head State Park, Tennessee, with 59,100 feet of elevation gain that includes navigation and bushwhacking. In its 16 year history only nine people have ever completed.)

Beautiful and voluminous fringe on blond hairstyle
Different shades of blonde come into play for this big, big women's hair. Long wavy hair with huge curls towards the tips is predominantly light honey blonde. A portion of the attention-grabbing fringe, curving outrageously over one side of the face down to the jaw, is a very pale, almost white, blonde. The long ends have been set to big, loose curls that hang heavy over the shoulders. Deeper into the curls, a layer of golden brown peeks through, giving depth and definition. The overall look is stylishly, sexily mussed up hair that would look best paired with clean lines or minimalist clothing and statement accessories.

Yesterday, TeaChatters struggled mightily to answer, "Besides TEA, what other serious food interests do you have?" The number one answer by far was other...mostly indicating it was too hard to choose a single answer. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.
Welcome everyone to another TeaDay, celebrate by brewing some tea and sharing what is in your cup today, all day! Check out what others are drinking as well, that is half the fun of TeaDay. If you need to, you can reflect back on your TeaDay.
Witches Brew brought up a good question. Are you a first generation Tea drinker or do you come from a long line of sippers...or somewhere in between. Share a bit of your family's TeaHistory today...or how you broke the mold.
I am as always looking forward to hearing about everyone's TeaDay, so...bottoms up...refill...repeat.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Not badIn full: Good car park organisation. There are flatter courses though this was not too bad. Wind was a bit of a nightmare. Date of review: November 24, 2008
In short: Good local raceIn full: Started a bit late - there seemed to be a problem with safety pins. Course is gently undulating pretty much the whole way round. Good car parking, efficient marshals and a different kind of medal. Nice support at the end. Not a PB course on the face of it but was the fastest I've been for a while.Date of review: September 15, 2008
In short: Good race, like last year, though a little coolerDate of review: August 26, 2008
In short: Rain In full: Nice 10K this. Good car parking. Big changing rooms and showers available. The course mainly gently undulating - there is a hill at 8.5K but it not too bad.Date of review: July 9, 2008
In short: Hot In full: I have never seen so many people drop out of a race - I hope everyone is OK. I ran at marathon pace from about 3 miles onwards - I nearly dropped out at around 4 miles but kept going and stopped at each station for a heart swig or two. The course is fairly pretty and mainyl traffic free. Undulating more than hilly, with more dwon hill in the last 3 miles. The car park was well organised but some selfish so and so parked in the gap that was left by the officials and blocked everyone in - luckily someone was in the car behind mine and I managed to escape.The bloke with a hosepipe at 11.5 miles did a great job as did all the marshals and those on the drinks stations, which thankfully were quite well stocked. However, I do think that an extra station could have been put in somewhere, the first one brought forward to somewhere between 2-3 miles - it was a long way the first stop. While I imagine that it is normally about 10 degrees cooler the heat was forecast.However, the heat ultimately was not the club's fault, and I would do this race again.Date of review: May 12, 2008
In short: Better than last yearIn full: I did the 20. Nice enough day - thank heavens it wasn't 24 hours later. The worst bit of the undulating course was undoubtedly the seemingly endless stretch into a steady head wind next to the Atlantic, on turning the corner at the end of this road, it felt like a different, warmer race with the wind behind you. Hats off to the marathon runners for doing this bit twice. The water stations were much better this time around. Good value - medal OK. Vegetable pasty was nice. Interesting that they used the hotel rooms for showers.Date of review: March 10, 2008
In short: Very good halfIn full: This was a really good race for me. Admittedly we were very lucky with the weather, it was truly glorious day for the time of year, and ideal I though for running. We did start 5 minutes late but the starter had a good booming voice, although a couple of people further back actually heckled a couple times. There's plenty of parking and space to warm up. Usual queues for the toilets though.The marshals and 5 drinks stations were excellent - having sports drink available at each one was a really good touch. There was some good support from the locals and nice scenery as well. There was a pleasant atmosphere out on the course - the sole problem being an idiot speeding along in his JCB. I thought the course was really good - firm but fair, and I didn't think the hills at the end were quite as bad as I had expected. I was only doing this race to get some miles in so I was amazed to get a PB. The mug and stuff at the end were good but you had to go searching for these. I would certainly do this again, especially if the weather could be guaranteed in advance.Date of review: February 10, 2008
In short: Too many entrants?In full: It seemed to be hard work getting on the start line for this race. I arrived about an hour early but the car park was already full, and had to park in a street some distance away - some form of more secure bag storage would be welcome. The chip timing collection was well organised but I wonder if those chips meant more people arrived early - parking was much easier last year and there was not as much demand for the toilets. Indeed, these seemed to be woefully indequate - I had to start literally right at the back of the field jogging straight through - good job I had a chip I suppose. I had to run on the soft mudddy grass at time to get past people which was not easy. It was not until about half way that I was able to run freely. The course is mainly run on foot and cycle paths. It may be good to get off the roads but some paths were very narrow and uneven. The long straight Albany Way was quite dull. The plentiful marshals all did a good job though.It was nice to do this race a couple of times but I don't think I'll be back.Date of review: January 20, 2008
In short: A good post Christmas runIn full: The course is quite good but there are flatter races and the wind did not help either. The start is very congested many people were too far forward and getting through them makes a PB difficult - there were no start areas. Parking was OK if a bit ad hoc. Big queue for the toilets.On the plus side the course is very good - I would say gently undulating rather than flat, although a quick time would certainly be possible if you start near the front. I found it odd trhat it was marked in miles but that seems to be the way things are done around here. The marshalls were good and the tshirt and horse brass make this a very good value race. I would certainly do this one again.Date of review: December 30, 2007
In short: Good raceIn full: This is normally a good race for a PB. The wind however put paid to that idea for me -it seemed to be in your face for at lest 75% of the time. It was good that the rain stopped for the race but there were sections that were very slippy and 2 or three muddy water obstacles, which soaked my feet at about halfway. The marshals were all good and there is good carparking. The showers ans changing facilities were excellent. Memento top notch - a complete turn around from 2006. I would certainly do this again - it is one of my favourite races and in 2005 and 2006 the conditions were perfect for a PB, we were just unlucky this time round.Date of review: December 10, 2007

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Jan. 31, 2010) – The U.S. Women's National Team lost to Evergrande Volleyball Club 26-24, 25-23, 21-25, 26-24 on Jan. 31 in a scrimmage prior to the official exhibition match on Feb. 2 at Guangzhou, China.
Evergrande, a professional team in the Chinese pro league coached by 2008 U.S. Olympic Games Head Coach Lang Ping, came away with key points during the scrimmage in winning all three of its sets by the minimum two points. Evergrande took a 16-10 lead in the opening set only to have Team USA cut the deficit in half at 21-18 and tie the frame at 24-all before Evergrande won the final two points. The Americans led 8-4 and 16-11 at the technical timeouts of the second set, then Evergrande made a final push after being down 21-18 to win 25-23. The U.S. rallied from an 8-6 deficit in the third set to gain a 16-15 edge at the second technical timeout. After leading 21-19 in the fourth, the U.S. scored four of the final six points to win 25-21. Team USA held an 8-5 advantage at the opening break of the fourth set, but Evergrande overcame a 21-20 deficit to win 26-24.
Team USA will now focus on its scheduled exhibition match with Evergrande, which includes U.S. Women's National Team players Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) and Christa Harmotto (Aliquippa, Pa.). Davis was the libero for the U.S. Olympic Team that won a silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
The exhibition match is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. local time on Feb. 2 at the new Guangzhou Gymnasium in Guangzhou. The match will be aired on Chinese national television on CCTV, which is available in some United States television markets. The match can also be viewed online at http://sports.cntv.cn.
Jill Collymore (Bellevue, Wash.) led the U.S. in the Evergrande scrimmage with 16 points via 11 kills, two aces and three blocks from her opposite position. Cheryl Weaver (Washington, D.C.) added 12 kills on 22 attempts and three blocks for 15 points as she connected for a .455 hitting efficiency and 54.5 kill percent from her middle blocker position. Heather Hughes (Fallbrook, Calif.) scored all 11 of her points on kills while splitting opposite duties with Collymore.
Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) chipped in seven points with six kills on 13 attacks with only one error to go with a block and seven digs. She added a 69 percent positive reception percent on a team-leading 26 attempts. Mekana Barnes (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) contributed a team-high four blocks to go with two kills and an ace for seven points in her middle blocker role.
Tracy Stalls (Denver) charted three kills on five errorless swings to go with a block and ace for five points at middle blocker. Angie Pressey (Lake Mary, Fla.) matched her point total with five points, including three blocks and two aces and a team-high 12 digs on the outside. Katie Kimmich (Lakeside, Calif.) and Ellen Herman (Toledo, Ohio) each added four points at outside hitter. Herman had a 92 positive percent on 12 reception attempts, while Kimmich tallied a team-leading 53 excellent reception percent (73 positive percent) on 15 attempts.
Bryn Kehoe (North Bend, Ohio) set the offense in the first two sets, leading the Americans to a .233 hitting efficiency and 39.0 kill percent. She added three individual points of her own in the match, including two aces. Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) tacked on four points in starting the final two sets at setter while leading the offense to a 40.3 kill percent.
Jessica Fine (Tarzana, Calif.) and Tama Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii) split duties at libero with each providing six digs. Fine had a 43 percent positive service reception mark on 14 attempts, but was positive on seven of her eight attempts in the fourth set.
Starters for the match were Hodge and Kimmich at outside hitter, Weaver and Barnes at middle blocker, Hughes at opposite and Kehoe at setter. Miyashiro started at libero. Except for Weaver who started all four sets, the starters played just the first two sets. Pressey and Herman started the third and fourth sets at outside hitter, Stalls came in at middle blocker for Barnes, Glass replaced Kehoe, Collymore switched with Hughes at opposite and Fine played the final two sets.
Harmotto tallied 10 points while starting and playing in just the first two sets for Evergande. She recorded six kills on 10 swings to go with a team-high four blocks. Davis was Evergrande's libero and had an 87 positive reception percent, including a 53 excellent reception percent on 15 chances. She added a team-high six digs in the victory.
The U.S. Women's National Team dominated the net defense with an 18-11 block advantage, including a 5-1 mark in the fourth set. Team USA held a slim 6-5 advantage in service aces and 42-33 edge in digs. However, Evergrande took advantage of 15 U.S. service errors to its own eight. The Americans also had 28 hitting errors to Evergrande's 25.

Raymond Simard Saint Boniface, MB
Mr. Speaker, this past weekend in St. Vital I participated in two extremely important events to raise funds and awareness for two very different but very devastating diseases.
The first was a community barbecue to raise money for Crohn's and colitis. This disease is particularly devastating because it hits at a very young age; mostly in the teens. It affects the digestive system and causes the intestinal tissue to become inflamed, form sores and bleed easily.
The second event was a walk for lupus at St. Vital Park. Lupus is an autoimmune disease where something goes wrong with the immune system so that it makes antibiotics attack the person's own tissues. Women develop lupus up to 10 times more than men and it occurs in women between the ages of 15 and 45.
I would like to congratulate all the wonderful volunteers who got involved to put a dent in these life altering diseases. I would also like to thank Crohn's victims Jason Brown and René DeMoissac for their insight and courageous work. It was also great walking with Kendra Gaede, a lupus victim with remarkable determination.
We can all make a difference and we should all be doing everything in our power to annihilate these crippling diseases.
Bloc Québécois

Daniel Petit Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, one year ago today we might have thought that the Bloc leader finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel when he promised to return to the fold in order to "kick the PQ's butt". He was rejected by headquarters and before he could even get to Trois-Rivières he was already back in Ottawa. The Ottawa-Quebec City return trip has never been so quick.
The leader of the Bloc decided to keep collecting his federal pay, and what did the Quebec nation get? Nothing.
For 18 years, Bloc MPs have been doing nothing but talk. They do not present legislative measures that become law. They do not draft any budgets. They do not make any investments. The Bloc struts about Quebec empty handed, simply to create division, with the sole purpose of justifying its presence in Ottawa.
Today, the permanent leader of the Bloc will rise to ask questions on an imaginary scandal, to try to tarnish this government, because the Bloc has no leadership, no consistent policy and no reason to be in Ottawa.
Arthur Kroeger
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, today we mourn the passing of a dedicated public servant and great Canadian. Arthur Kroeger passed away last Friday surrounded by his loved ones.
In 1958, following studies at the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, Mr. Kroeger joined the Department of External Affairs, thus beginning a public service career that spanned five decades.
From 1993 until 2002, he served as the Chancellor of Carleton University, which is now home to the Arthur Kroeger College of Public Affairs; a tribute to his enduring efforts to promote the ideals of civic involvement in young Canadians.
Known as the "dean of deputies", he always remained true to his pledge of public service.
In 2006, he wrote Hard Passage: A Mennonite Family's Long Journey from Russia to Canada , a book that helps understand the formidable strength of character that forever inhabited Arthur Kroeger.
Our country has lost an outstanding citizen.
I know all members of this House will join me in offering our sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.
Human Rights
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, one thing we can agree on in this House is that anti-Semitism must be stopped because it is an attack on all Jews and it is a barometer of hatred against all minorities.
We are united in our opposition to anti-Semitism and we need to be united in our efforts to stop it.
The last thing we need is a Prime Minister who alleges anti-Semitism among members of Parliament. What we really need is leadership, the kind that addresses growing anti-Semitism in Canada, which is up 11% this year.
We need the kind of leadership shown by citizens of Israel, whose pride in their 60th anniversary and confidence in their right to exist as a state does not prevent differences of opinion about their government or the peace process.
We need the kind of leadership that governments used to build from our strength not divide on the basis of any elements that seek to destroy our society.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois is joining the Chrysotile Institute, the United Steelworkers and Quebec's Mouvement PROChrysotile to denounce the NDP position on banning chrysotile.
This position does not take into account recent studies on the safe use of chrysotile. The NDP does not have the necessary expertise to take the place of the expert committee set up by Health Canada. Union representatives believe that the NDP did not take into account the work of the Chrysotile Institute and the worker's movement to respect the Geneva Convention and promote the safe use of chrysotile. The NDP has simply dismissed the jobs related to this industry. The Bloc Québécois is asking the government to implement the unanimous report of the international trade subcommittee recommending that it adopt a chrysotile policy based on information, promotion and safe use.
That is another example of how only the Bloc Québécois understands and is defending the interests of hundreds of workers in the Asbestos and Thetford Mines regions.
Atlantic Canada

2:10 p.m.
Michael Savage Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister and the Minister of National Defence are in Halifax today.
Now those are two guys with a long history and a lot to answer for in Atlantic Canada.
A "culture of defeat" is the way the Prime Minister described Atlantic Canada and Atlantic Canadians.
However, Atlantic Canadians are not being defeated by the Prime Minister. Let us take the member for Cumberland—Colchester—Musquodoboit Valley who stood up to the Prime Minister and showed hm that Atlantic Canadians were not as easily defeated as the Prime Minister would like.
Tracy Parsons, soon to be our Liberal candidate in that riding, would agree. She is yet another former Progressive Conservative who sees nothing progressive about the Conservatives.
The governing Conservatives do not understand Atlantic Canada, as highlighted by the trashing of the Atlantic accord and the frantic cover-up, trying to convince Nova Scotians that this deal was as good as the Atlantic accord.
We want what we had: the Atlantic accord. In fact, when the next election rolls around, the words "culture of defeat" may only apply to Conservative candidates in Atlantic Canada.
Liberal Party of Canada
Statements By Members
May 12th, 2008 / 2:15 p.m.
Bev Shipley Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, ON
Mr. Speaker, recently the member for Ottawa South said that his party's internal debate over biofuels was over and that the Liberals would vote in favour of Bill C-33, but then, on the same day, his colleague from Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca said that the measure should be defeated.
Canadians are mystified about the Liberals' inability to take a stand on the renewable fuels industry.
Our Conservative Party is the only party that stands for renewable fuels, even though during the last campaign everyone was for it.
Biofuels are good for farmers, good for the rural economy, good for the environment and good for Canadians. When people, such as farmers, truckers, and ordinary Canadians, are struggling with high fuel costs, the Liberals are only interested in taxing fuel another 50¢ or 60¢ a litre.
High taxes, extravagant spending and pulling its support for agriculture is the culture and the opposition's strategy but it is certainly not what Conservatives believe in.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Michael Ignatieff Etobicoke—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Speaker, under previous governments, Canada invented and promoted the doctrine of the responsibility to protect at the United Nations. That doctrine holds that when a country is unable or unwilling to protect its own people, other countries have a responsibility to step in.
I have a simple question for the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Does the government still support the doctrine of the responsibility to protect and does it believe that it commits Canada to action on Burma?
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister for Democratic Reform
Mr. Speaker, Canada has been taking a leadership role on Burma, both before the recent disaster and subsequent to the recent disaster.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs has been in touch with the United Nations Security Council to impress upon it the need for collective action by the United Nations Security Council to ensure there is access for aid workers with aid from around the world who are seeking to get into Burma to help those people who are very much in need. Canada has taken a leadership role and will continue to do so.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Michael Ignatieff Etobicoke—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Speaker, I did not get an answer to my question. The question was in two parts. The question about Burma had some kind of answer but I heard no answer on the question of principle, which is whether the government continues to support the crucial principle of the responsibility to protect, which would commit Canada to specific action in Burma.
Does the government support the responsibility to protect?
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister for Democratic Reform
Mr. Speaker, the government has committed to specific action with regard to Burma in the past. We committed to specific action in the form of sanctions, the toughest sanctions in the world, on a regime that has oppressed its people and kept their freedom from them.
With regard to the current disaster, we have committed to specific actions in the form of $2 million worth of aid. DART, the disaster assistance response team, is available to enter the country. We are working together with our allies, as is the appropriate way with the United Nations and other concerned countries, to gain the access that is urgent to help out the Burmese people in this great time of need.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Michael Ignatieff Etobicoke—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Speaker, I will take that as a no to my question of whether the government supports the responsibility to protect.
But in Burma, the military regime continues to deny entry to humanitarian experts and to hijack supplies meant for the victims. Tyranny is winning out over compassion. That is unacceptable. When a country refuses to help its own people, it is the responsibility of other countries to take action.
What is the minister doing with the UN or anyone else to demonstrate this leadership they have been talking about and to require Burma to open its borders to humanitarian aid?
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister for Democratic Reform
Mr. Speaker, we are still urging the Burmese government to stop playing games and to let international aid workers into the country during this time.
We have committed up to $2 million in humanitarian aid. But the regime must allow the NGOs to enter the country. It must stop delaying the issuing of entry visas for international aid workers. We are asking it to allow entry to the United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination team, which is waiting in Bangkok.
The Economy
Oral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Martha Hall Findlay Willowdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, in Listowel, 500 jobs lost; in Ottawa, 1,100 jobs lost; and in Oshawa, 900 jobs lost. This morning the finance minister was in Toronto misleading Canadians again and claiming that the government has done such a great job with the economy.
Unfortunately, also this morning, General Motors announced the loss of another 1,400 jobs in Windsor.
Instead of pretending that the economy is rosy, when will the government wake up and smell the coffee and actually start doing something?

Bend Teen Drowns In Rafting Accident
A 16-year-old girl drowned in a rafting accident on the North Umpqua River. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office says Nichole Pomeroy of Bend became trapped in debris under water after a raft carrying seven people capsized.Everyone else in the raft made it to shore.
Sheriff's spokesman Dwes Hutson says the rafters wore life jackets, but Pomeroy's apparently came off in the water. The News-Review reports it was difficult for deputies and Douglas County firefighters to recover the body. They called a construction company for help, and a worker used a chain saw to cut through an underwater tree trunk. Weekly Construction will assist again Monday, using heavy equipment that will require shutting down at least one lane of Highway 138 East.

My first day at Mozilla was in Tokyo in January of 2006.
I was working for a search engine startup but was looking for a new opportunity as I wasn't optimistic about that startup's viability.
Joi Ito, who gave me the opportunity to work at that startup, contacted me early in 2006 (right after the Firefox 1.5 release) to say that, "The Mozilla guys are in Tokyo. Can you join me in some meetings with them?"
That turned out to be Chris Beard, Paul Kim and John Lilly who were in Tokyo for the first time. I was thrown into meetings and strategy sessions around starting the Tokyo office. I remember being asked at the end of that week, (by who I forget, maybe it was Joi?) "So, what do you think? Are you going to join us?"
Of course I did.
My first year at Mozilla was very intense as John worked closely with the team in Tokyo to get us up to speed and prepared for growth. I think John had 3-4 trips to Tokyo that year alone. It was a very exciting time and I learned so much about Mozilla and open source and the power of our community from John directly.
In 2007, I worked with John over multiple trips to scout out our situation in China. We ultimately hired Li Gong to lead the China effort and open our office in Beijing.
As Mozilla grew, and I changed roles to join the Evangelism team, and moved my focus from Japan to the rest of Asia, I spent less time working with John directly, but his influence on my work and perspective is ever-present.
John is not leaving Mozilla per se, although he won't be around the office day-to-day anymore. As he joins Mozilla's Board of Directors, his influence and guidance will continue.
John, thank you so much for all that you have given to Mozilla and to all of us.
I'll close with a few photos from 'back in the day' from the archives.

Very tasty!
Superb Alternative

Although this is still a form of straight sugar (if you're concerned with that), it is superior to refined white sugar. It is great for teas. It has a fine taste which I don't consider would spoil any specific recipes requiring sugar.
Posted by Reviewer1281263 on Sep 19, 2011
First time.....after being in South East ASia for 3 months I decided to use palm sugar instead of rapadura and other cane sugar products, I really like it!
no buzz!
Posted by Reviewer2746709 on Sep 27, 2011
Really tasty stuff, a little goes a long way, and way way better than the liquid coconut palm sweetener I tried. I get an uncomfortable buzz from white sugar, maple syrup, etc., but none of that with this mellow sweetener.
Posted by Reviewer3005816 on Oct 04, 2011
This is the most delicious sugar I have ever tasted. Use it in your baking and you will not be sorry. Makes best brownies ever!
Posted by Reviewer1650084 on Oct 06, 2011
much better than sugar!! healthy,and tasty
Love this product!
Posted by Reviewer2825531 on Oct 06, 2011
I have been ordering and using this palm sugar for almost a year now. I bake with it and use it in my coffee. It is lower in carbs and healthier than other sweeteners. I absolutely love it!
A must!
Posted by Reviewer1585485 on Oct 10, 2011
I use this for my muesli and my raw chocolate. Lovely taste. Good product.
I use it for almost everything!
Posted by Reviewer2627454 on Oct 22, 2011
Tastes just like regular sugar, only from coconuts! I love this. I use it in coffee, baking, jams, other hot drinks...etc. It also has a very slight caramel taste which is nice. Gets hard easily, so I put a slice of apple in the bag and the sugar stays soft and moist!
Posted by Sabine on Oct 16, 2011
I use this instead of white sugar. More nutritious.

Pork Tenderloin with Seasoned Rub
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt
- 1 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
In separate bowl mix dry ingredients such as garlic powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, thyme and salt. Stir mixture with a fork until all the ingredients are well combined and they form a seasoning. This will be used as a rub to ensure the pork is well seasoned throughout. Sprinkle the rub over the tenderloin with a dry hand, then rub the pork with the seasoning over both sides of the meat, pressing gently so the seasoning adheres well to the tenderloin.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and heat. Add the minced garlic and saute, stirring, for 1 minute. Put tenderloin in the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, searing each side using tongs to turn the meat. Transfer meat to a roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes. Slice and serve.

Facebook, Amazon, Apple: Tech Premarket
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Facebook(FB) was a big loser in premarket trading on Friday following the social networker's first quarterly results as a public company.
Facebook met analysts' top- and bottom-line estimates, although decelerating revenue growth and lack of guidance weighed heavily on the stock before market open. Shares of the Menlo Park, Calif.-based firm plunged 13.24% to $23.29 as investors digested the second-quarter numbers.
Despite rumors that he would be a no-show, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was present throughout the company's conference call. Facebook's top priority, he explained, is a sustained focus on mobile, platform and social ads. "We have a lot of interesting things going on here," he said.
Facebook was also the most active premarket Nasdaqstocks on share volume of 3,036,856.
Key Facebook partner Zynga(ZNGA) was another laggard, slipping 2.68% to $3.09. Shares of the social gamer plunged 37.48% on Thursday following its own second-quarter results earlier this week.
AuthenTec(AUTH) was a major gainer, climbing 60.75% to $8.15 after the company confirmed a merger with Apple(AAPL) . The iPhone maker is acquiring the fingerprint sensor specialist for $8 a share, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reuters reported the deal values AuthenTec at about $356 million.
Apple(AAPL) shares dipped 0.05% to $574.6 on Friday.
Amazon(AMZN) crept up 1.13% to $222.5 after posting mixed second-quarter results after market close on Thursday.

Despite high unemployment, some jobs still tough to fill, survey finds
The Columbus Dispatch - July 19, 2013 10:57 AM
With unemployment still so high, you would think that hiring managers would have an easy time filling openings.
But a new CareerBuilder survey finds that 35 percent of hiring managers have positions that have remained open for at least three months.
CareerBuilder says companies are having a hard time finding qualified applicants for technology-related occupations, sales and healthcare. In particular, some of the toughest jobs to fill are for sales representatives, machine operators, nurses, truck drivers, software developers, information technology, accountants, mechanics and engineers.
Two in five companies say they are continuously recruiting so they have available candidates in case a position opens up down the road.

Commissioners say no to wheelage tax for 2014
MARSHALL – Lyon County Commissioners revisited the idea of collecting a county wheelage tax on Tuesday, but they didn't seem to be any more enthusiastic about implementing it, at least for next year. The commissioners' consensus was to do more research and gather more public input, with the possibility of collecting a tax in 2015.
Interim County Engineer Aaron VanMoer asked commissioners for direction on the wheelage tax during their regular meeting. New state laws passed this year would allow counties to collect a wheelage tax of up to $10 per registered vehicle and use the money for highway projects. In Lyon County, a wheelage tax could bring in more than $200,000 in revenue in 2014.
If Lyon County wanted to implement the tax in 2014, it would need to act by Aug. 1, VanMoer said.
Lyon County Administrator Loren Stomberg said several area counties have already said "no" to a wheelage tax, including Rock, Pipestone, and Redwood counties. Cottonwood County has approved a wheelage tax, he said.
"I'll go out on a limb and propose that we postpone a decision until 2015," Stomberg said. That would allow extra time for the county to have public hearings, as well as to come up with a specific plan on what projects a wheelage tax would be used to pay for.
"I'm not in favor of moving forward today," said Commissioner Charlie Sanow. Sanow said he had received a lot of negative feedback from the public on the possibility of a wheelage tax.
Commissioner Rodney Stensrud said he had received both positive and negative feedback on the idea. However, he said county highways could benefit from the funding a wheelage tax would generate.
"One way or another, we've got to keep things in shape," he said.
"It's still important that we have at least two to four public hearings" on the matter, said Commissioner Steve Ritter.
Commissioners directed county staff to do a more thorough investigation on what a wheelage tax could be used for, with the intent of holding public meetings next spring. Ritter suggested that taxpayers get a chance to discuss the matter at the annual township association meeting, too.
In other business Tuesday, Stomberg said commissioners needed to start thinking about the county budget process for 2014. The state has placed levy limits, which will affect the county, he said. The county has not raised its levy since 2008. However, Stomberg said there are some changes that may not make it feasible to keep a zero increase for 2014. He said the county has updated its pay scales and is facing some large infrastructure projects.
Commissioners set a special session to discuss the 2014 budget at 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 30.
Lyon County Environmental Administrator Paul Henriksen and Randall Sippell of the engineering firm SAIC gave commissioners updates on the Lyon County landfill. Sippell said the landfill is currently going through the permit renewal process and is also looking at expanding. If landfill operations continue at the same rate as today, Sippell said, the current landfill cell will fill up in 2015. The landfill will need to build a new addition west of the current cell, he said.
As part of the process of getting ready to expand, Sippell said the landfill will need to do some drilling and research on the ground and water in the area. He provided commissioners with four quotes for the drilling and sampling process. The low quote came from Aqua Plus, Inc., at about $12,800. Sippell said Aqua Plus had worked with the landfill before, so the company also had the advantage of being familiar with the area. Commissioners voted to accept the quote.
Sippell also told commissioners that SAIC will be undergoing some changes. The company will be splitting into two different companies, one focused on government contracts and the other on commercial clients. The company that works with the landfill will be named Leidos, he said. The change means the county will need to update its contract with SAIC.
County Facilities Manager Ron Krause updated the board on roofing concerns at the Lyon County Historical Museum building in Marshall and asked for direction on how to proceed. Krause said during recent rains, the museum had been experiencing some leaks. He said the roof damage could be traced back to leaks in the chiller on the building's roof but fixing the chiller would mean taking out the whole rooftop compressor. Krause said the general condition of the roof is also a consideration.
"This roof is 27 years old," Krause said. "It's something the board needs to think about." He said the board may also want to think about whether the county would want to pursue fixing the museum's current compressor or updating the HVAC system.
County board Chairman Rick Anderson asked Krause to get ballpark figures for the repairs, and commissioners could take it into account during the upcoming budget process.
Commissioners voted to approve a change in the law enforcement contract between the Lyon County Sheriff's Department and the city of Lynd. Sheriff Mark Mather said the city had requested a reduction in patrol hours for the rest of the year, because of financial constraints. Mather said with the "Juice Bar" in Lynd closed, there have also been fewer calls for the sheriff's department.
The amended law enforcement contract would give Lynd 20 patrol hours per week until the end of the year, at a rate of about $40 per hour. The city's original contract for 2013 called for 30 patrol hours per week. Mather said 20 patrol hours a week would be an amount comparable to what other cities Lynd's size get.

During this delightfully nippy time of year, many animals, Columbia students included, begin preparing for hibernation. The bears and the bats head off to their respective caves, and the Columbia students head off to Butler. The chipmunks store nuts and berries in their cheeks, and the Columbia students stuff sushi and HamDel sandwiches into their backpacks. Fortunately for the chipmunks, they don't have to sneak their food past any security guards, unlike us when we go into Butler.
We take issue with Butler's food policy. What are starving students to do when Blue Java Coffee Bar is closed? What about students who can't afford the $2 small coffees (more expensive than Starbucks!)? And last, but certainly not least, what if we just really want coffee that doesn't taste like the shower water in McBain?
Butler's food policy states, "To best accommodate the needs of our patrons while protecting and preserving our spaces and collections, food and drink are permitted only in designated areas in Butler Library." That certainly seems logical and fair. However, what simply doesn't make any sense is why the policy goes on to say, "Food cannot be brought into Butler Library." What sort of rationale allows students to eat, but not bring in their own food?
It should be noted that some areas of Butler restrict food entirely, as they should; food in some places can definitely pose a risk to certain book collections. After all, you don't want to have someone eating a Thanksgiving dinner across from you while you're trying to study.
The right to food, however, is necessary—students are often in Butler for hours on end and need to eat or drink at some point.
We ask that students be allowed to bring outside food and drink into Butler. We understand that there may be further restrictions on this: In the Northwest Corner Building's library, you are allowed to bring in drinks, but only if they are in certain types of containers. Perhaps, in order to mitigate abuse of the rule, guidelines that suggest not bringing certain types of food and drink—particularly odorous ones—could be implemented.
The University's current policy is hypocritical and solely for the gain of Blue Java Coffee Bar, the only place inside Butler where food can be bought. Blue Java is nothing less than a monopoly under this policy, and it has used that to its advantage by gouging prices.
Ultimately, Butler's food policy is not in place for protection of the library and its precious resources. Blue Java's reign should end, so that students might choose where to purchase their watery coffee, so that students can eat a Milano sandwich proudly and with impunity, and so that no student need ever starve for his or her studies.
To respond to this staff editorial, or to submit an op-ed, contact email@example.com.
We try to find a middle ground when it comes to Butler's food policy. We know that many of you spend long hours in Butler and want the convenience of being able to eat while studying or researching. Providing food choices in Blue Java is the way we can offer the convenience of buying foods, snacks and drinks, but avoid "outside" foods that open up a host of issues that come with strong-smelling or messy foods (like pizza), including complaints from our users about the odors of the food or the mess it leaves behind. Having a no outside food policy may seem picky, but the guard on duty is asked to follow the policy and not make judgment calls about what food is or isn't allowed inside.
Believe it or not, we receive more complaints about individuals not following our current policy than we do about not being able to bring in outside food. For that reason, we created specific food/drink zones in the library to accommodate different needs. Check http://library.columbia.edu/content/dam/libraryweb/locations/butler/Guide_Butler_Study_Spaces.pdf to learn more about the different food zones.
Good writing - though I would stress the economic nonsense that accompanies the policy. Dining Services seems to correlate bringing food into the library with certain safety hazards - a claim that is completely undermined by the presence of foodservice within the library itself. Keeping a healthy and satisfied labor force in Columbia's facilities may require higher prices - but let's not pretend that this issue is about anything other than that. If labor demands require non-competition from outside food vendors, the dialogue should be opened up to the student body so a common solution can be pursued.

Lips: When it comes to wearing lipstick or even lip gloss, I get the case of the ugly line after two-three hours (I assume it's a buildup of skin) and the skin on my lips also puff up and come off my lips. This also happens when I'm not even wearing anything on my lips. I have worn lip pencils, which have helped to a degree, but then I get the lip pencil caught between the creases of my lips, my lips look dry, or the line on the lips again (just not as badly). It feels as if my lips are too moist to wear anything most of the time. Any suggestions on what to do?

"One thing that is the same for all women in engineering is the need to balance career and personal life. This becomes especially tricky if you are a mother who is ambitious. [...] That being said, I feel like women have to play the balancing act of work and home more than their male counterparts."
I disagree with that. My observations show that for fathers there is normally no option to "balance". You still have a strong role-model kind of view. One result is, that it is hard for men to work part time, especially as engineers (Some years ago company ABB was ranked the worst family-friendly company in switzerland...)
How many electronics engineers do you know, who work part time (eg. 80%), to have a free day to spend with the kids?
How many fathers you know, who would like to have more time to spend with there kids?
"If a man works extra hours for his job to move up the corporate ladder, he is praised for providing for his family. If a woman works extra hours and travels a lot for her job, she is often thought to be deserting her family."
Thats exactely the bad role model. Men who "only bring money home" are as bad. As a child you need the relationship to your father too.
The problem men face is the same as women, when you work some few years part time to rise your children, you risk your posibilities in your career. This has to be changed, because it's absolutely no drawback to be good parents.

Program 'fixes' pets
To the Editor:
On March 10, the Martin County Humane Society hosted the second visit to Fairmont from the Minnesota Spay Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP). The clinic was held at the Armory in Fairmont. On this visit, 14 dogs and 25 cats were either spayed or neutered.
We wish to thank Don and Pat Shaikowski and Don's Body Shop for generously paying the rental cost for the Armory.
For those of you not familiar with this program, this is a fully equipped surgical unit on wheels, with the surgeries being done by a licensed vet and staff for residents of Minnesota. We were lucky to get Dr. Sue and her staff for both visits to Fairmont. They are experienced, wonderful to work with, and great with pets. Their website, www.mnsnap.org, explains the program and required qualifications for pet owners.
The Humane Society will host another SNAP visit on June 16. It will be held at the Eagle's Club in Fairmont. This is a wonderful opportunity for pet owners who have not been able to get their pets altered.
For more information, please go to their website, click on "Pet Owners." This explains the income guidelines, surgical costs and registration. Our first two clinics filled up quite rapidly, so please sign up early.

Scot,I am not Kelly, but if Paulie Gee's Hampden facebook page is looked at, it can be seen what Paulie Gee posted on the right side. In Memorial: The beautiful, hand-made wood fired ovens we ordered finally made it to the USA....but were damaged during the voyage from Italy and are not usable. We will not be deterred. https://www.facebook.com/PaulieGeesHampden Norma
That has to hurt when you have carrying costs on the property.
This is what Paulie Gee posted on his facebook page 5 days agoGreat to see my grandchildren again after being caged in wood. There was a photo of the the uncovered ovens in a building that looked like it was being renovated.Norma
IIRC he was opening partner locations in a few different cities. Did that post specify Baltimore?
From the Paulie Gee's Hampden Facebook page,www.facebook.com/PaulieGeesHampdenOctober 6"Interior structural issues have been fixed and a few thousand square feet of brick...hiding behind lots of stuff over the years...now has a chance to say hello. Things are looking just a tad different and that old smell many remember from the Republican Club days is gone. We are now building the space out. Finally."

Prostate laser surgery is used to relieve moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
During prostate laser surgery, your doctor inserts a scope through the tip of your penis into the tube that carries urine from your bladder (urethra). The urethra is surrounded by the prostate. A laser is passed through the scope. The laser delivers energy that is used to shrink or to remove the excess tissue that is blocking the urethra and preventing urine flow.
All lasers use concentrated light to generate precise and intense heat. Laser surgery removes excess prostate tissue by:
There are different types of prostate laser surgery, such as:
The type of laser surgery your doctor will perform depends on several factors, including the size of your prostate, your health, the type of laser equipment available and your doctor's training.
Prostate laser surgery helps reduce urinary symptoms caused by BPH. Urinary symptoms caused by BPH can include:
Laser surgery may also be done to treat or prevent complications due to blocked urine flow, such as:
A number of procedures are available to treat BPH, but laser surgery has several potential advantages over other methods, such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and open prostatectomy. The advantages generally include:
Serious long-term complications are less likely with prostate laser surgery than with traditional surgery. Risks of laser surgery can include:
Follow your doctor's instructions on what to do before your treatment. Here are some issues to discuss with your doctor:
Laser surgery for an enlarged prostate can take from 30 minutes to a couple of hours depending on the size and anatomy of the prostate being treated.
Before the surgery begins, you will be given either general anesthesia, which means you'll be unconscious during the procedure, or spinal anesthesia, which means you'll remain conscious during the procedure.
Laser surgery techniques for enlarged prostate are all done by inserting viewing scopes and instruments through the tip of the penis into the urethra. This makes surgery possible without making any cuts (incisions) on the outside of your body.
Exactly what you can expect during and after the procedure can vary somewhat depending on the particular type of laser and technique used.
A narrow fiber-optic scope is inserted through the tip of your penis into the urethra. By accessing the prostate through your penis, your doctor won't need to make any cuts (incisions) on the outside of your body. The doctor will use the laser to destroy, vaporize or cut out the prostate tissue blocking urine flow. Depending on the procedure, your doctor may also use instruments to remove cut pieces of prostate tissue from the bladder.
After the procedure, you may have a urinary catheter in place because urine flow is blocked by swelling. If you're unable to urinate after the tube is removed, your doctor may replace the catheter for some time to allow you to heal or give you catheters that you can insert on your own a few times a day until swelling goes down and you can urinate again normally.
You may also notice:
Follow your doctor's instructions about any specific restrictions or steps you need to take after the procedure. These may include:
Prostate laser surgery improves urinary flow in most men. Often, results are long lasting. In some cases, especially ablation techniques, the laser surgery doesn't remove all of the prostate tissue blocking urine flow or the tissue grows back, and further treatment is needed. If you notice any worsening urinary symptoms, make an appointment to see your doctor.

Gun owners are not criminals
Editor, OBSERVER:
I am just an average working guy, like most of you. Not too many things would make me write to the paper. I like to hunt and fish, I own guns and like to shoot them.
There seems to be a problem with that. Lately people like me seem to be under fire from some politicians with an agenda against guns. They use the term "gun culture" weapons, assault rifles, the NRA, all terms to make people think they are evil.
The "gun culture" is just a group of people that like to hunt or shoot guns. A gun is a tool, pure and simple, it is not a weapon until some idiot uses it as such. An assault rifle is nothing more than a rifle – cosmetically altered – not automatic as they would have you believe. The National Rifle Association is simply a group of gun enthusiasts that further their sport and try to protect the Second Amendment.
We gun enthusiasts are a minority who is under fire, due to the actions of a handful of idiots that abuse the privilege of having a gun. I think now and forever it is time for us to draw a "line in the sand."
We are not criminals. We are just like you.

Rambus, a leading developer of memory and interconnection technologies, on Monday withdrew certain accusations against Nvidia Corp. Last week Nvidia said that the U.S. patent and trademark office (USPTO) had has initially rejected all 41 claims challenged by Nvidia in seven patents which Rambus has asserted in litigation against the graphics and core-logic chip designer.
Rambus has asked an administrative law judge at the International Trade Commission (ITC) to terminate the investigation of Nvidia relating to four patents stemming from a complaint filed in November 2008. Rambus has conceded that NVIDIA products do not infringe on its four patents before the ITC, and has also asked for termination of several claims from a fifth patent in the ITC action.
"We are pleased Rambus has recognized the weakness of these patents and claims. "These withdrawals represent essentially half of the patents and one third of the claims asserted against us, and we look forward to addressing the remainder of the case," stated David Shannon, Nvidia executive vice president and general counsel.
The current ITC litigation originally included nine patents involving memory controllers related to graphics processors. On June 2, 2009, Nvidia publicly announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) had rejected 41 claims, in seven patents, which Rambus had asserted in the ITC action against Nvidia.
The complaint by Rambus seeks an exclusion order barring the importation, sale for importation, or sale after importation of products that infringe nine Rambus patents from the Ware and Barth families of patents. The accused products include Nvidia products that incorporate DDR, DDR2, DDR3, LPDDR, GDDR, GDDR2, and GDDR3 memory controllers, including GeForce graphics processors and nForce chipsets.
Since Rambus believes that it invented all the modern DRAM technologies, it seeks royalty payments not only from memory makers, but also from those, who develop memory controllers and sells them as part of their products.

The Hartford Extends Alliance With U.S. Paralympics
SIMSBURY, Conn. - Continuing its long-term commitment of promoting and supporting the abilities of individuals with physical disabilities, The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: HIG) announced today it is extending its sponsorship of U.S. Paralympics, the division of the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) dedicated to recruiting and training elite athletes with physical disabilities.
The Hartford's ground-breaking alliance with U.S. Paralympics, which began five years ago, now extends through the 2012 Paralympic Games in London. In 2003, The Hartford became the first company to forge a multi-year agreement exclusively with the Paralympics, resulting in the most significant corporate commitment to the Paralympics in U.S. history.
"Our partnership with U.S. Paralympics in 2003 established The Hartford as a true 'Ability' company, and the first - and only - disability carrier to pledge support to U.S. Paralympics and its 800 athletes," said Ron Gendreau, executive vice president of The Hartford's Group Benefits Division. "We are proud to continue our strong partnership and together continue to change people's lives."
"The Hartford has been a consistent leader in the Paralympic and disability movement," said Charlie Huebner, chief of Paralympics, USOC. "The company's continued support reinforces its commitment to assist future generations of Paralympic athletes in pursuing their dreams, while also ensuring persons with physical disabilities have enhanced opportunities to achieve success in life."
The partnership between the elite athletic organization and the leading U.S. group disability insurance seller is a natural fit. "U.S. Paralympic athletes embody our Ability Philosophy - our conviction that success is possible by focusing on abilities instead of physical limitations," Gendreau said. "As active, productive members of society and the U.S. workforce, they are powerful, positive role models for our disability claimants."
"We're so pleased to renew our strong involvement with such a worthy cause," said Connie Weaver, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of The Hartford. "Closely tying our corporate citizenship goals and philanthropy activities with our business initiatives is an important strategy for our organization. The Hartford is proud to be involved with a number of causes that align with our business, including our support of the Wounded Warrior Project and Casting for Recovery."
Swimmer Erin Popovich, who won four gold and two silver medals at the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games, said The Hartford's support helps make athletes' dreams a reality. "This sponsorship provides me with coaching, competition opportunities, and the ability to focus my energies on being the best I can be," she said. "Plus I'm proud to work with a company that helps people every day get back to work after a disability."
As part of the partnership, The Hartford sponsors and organizes more than 200 events featuring U.S. Paralympic athletes throughout the United States annually. A majority of these events are educational programs to promote awareness among Americans - particularly within the business community - about the value that employees with disabilities bring to the workplace.
The Hartford also hosts Paralympic Experiences, where able-bodied business professionals use adaptive equipment and compete against each other in Paralympic sports, such as wheelchair basketball. By getting into the game with Paralympic athletes, these professionals can better appreciate what it is like to live with a disability.
"Time and again when Paralympic athletes have interacted with our business partners, the Paralympians have positively impacted the way they think of people with disabilities," Gendreau said.
The Hartford's long history of support for the Paralympic community includes more than 15 years of sponsoring programs, organizations and world-class athletes with physical disabilities.
"Through these events, thousands of men, women and children have learned new skills, regained their confidence, and taken important steps on the road to recovery," Gendreau said. "We are happy that we can make a real difference in the lives of people facing disabilities."
The Paralympic Games are the Olympic equivalent for athletes with physical disabilities and take place two weeks following the Olympic Games in the same host city and athletic venues. More than 4,000 athletes competed in the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games.

Click a question's title bar to show its answer.
For a healthy girl, between the ages of 13 and 15.
We'll talk about breast and pelvic exams, answer questions about development, puberty and peer pressure. We'll also give information about health and sexuality.
Are you a mother considering a visit for your daughter? Think through the intent of the visit. Is it a menstrual problem? Does your daughter need a resource for information?
A young lady's first visit with a gynecologist should be in a comfortable relaxed and calm environment.
While many young women focus on a number, we are more interested in your lifestyle. Establishing healthy patterns now helps lifelong vitality and reproductive health.
Eat from all food groups, emphasizing fruits and vegetables. Exercise regularly. Be kind to your body.
Within three years of becoming sexually active. If not sexually active, plan your first visit between 18 and 21 years of age.
We will gladly talk with you about age-appropriate information for your daughter. From you, she'll learn about sensitive topics such as development and contraception.
Many women go through hormonal changes during pregnancy and after delivery. Hormones produce chemical changes in the brain that may lead to depression.
Initially, a new mom may feel the "baby blues." These occur within about three days after delivery and go away within about ten days.
Postpartum depression is different from "baby blues." It can last from two weeks after birth to up to one year.
Symptoms include:
- Losing interest or pleasure in life
- Losing appetite
- Having less energy and motivation to do things
- Having a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep
- Sleeping more than usual
- Excessive crying or tearfulness
- Feeling worthless, hopeless or overly guilty
- Feeling restless, irritable or anxious
- Experiencing unexplained weight gain or loss
- Having thoughts about hurting yourself or your baby
During your post-delivery checkup, we will talk about your physical and emotional health.
As you begin to plan a family, talk with us about the many ways you can prepare your body for pregnancy, including prenatal vitamins. Taken before pregnancy, these help at the earliest stages of development, providing three very important nutrients - iron, folic acid and calcium.
Folic acid helps prevent birth defect very early in pregnancy. More iron meets the demands of pregnancy. Calcium helps build strong bones and teeth for your baby.
When you visit, we discuss family history and identify factors that may affect your health. This discussion helps us determine an appropriate time for your baseline mammogram, between 35 and 40 years of age.
At 40 years, plan an annual mammogram screening.
Close relative with breast cancer? Your first mammogram may be at an even younger age.
Life can be hectic in your twenties, thirties and forties with friends, family and work commitments. These years cover your reproductive and premenopausal stages. Calcium maintains bone stability and strength when bone mass normally decreases.
Eat two to three servings of dairy foods per day. If this is not in your diet, take a supplement to achieve about 1,000 mg of calcium per day.
Bones need exercise, just like muscles, to gain strength. Weight bearing exercise, such as walking, dancing or lifting weights, helps build strong bones.
In a woman's natural aging process, monthly menstruation ends. Hormonal changes leading up to menopause happen over several years, normally between the ages of 42 and 56.
The clearest sign of the start of menopause are irregular periods and when blood flow becomes lighter or heavier.
Additional signs may include the following: weight gain, hot flashes, insomnia, night sweats, vaginal dryness, joint pain, fatigue, short-term memory problems, bowel upset, dry eyes, itchy skin, mood swings and urinary tract infections.
It depends on your hysterectomy.
With a total hysterectomy, removing both cervix and uterus, you probably do not need an annual Pap smear. If only the uterus was removed, you do need the annual test. If cervical cancer was involved, you need a Pap smear.
After any hysterectomy, we continue annual pelvic exams.
Yes, including a breast exam, a check of your ovaries through a pelvic exam, a screen for cervical cancer through a Pap smear and a discussion about diet, nutrition and your emotional health.
Get a Pap smear about every three years after menopause. Low-risk women in their late sixties or early seventies may usually stop having Pap smears.
Emotionally, you'll probably experience new levels of satisfaction in your life. Women report having more fun in their everyday lives and enjoy their independence. Perhaps new freedom with less responsibility, retirement, travel or leisure activities, encourages this period of great exploration.
Physically, you will probably feel much better as menopause symptoms and stress subside. As your body becomes accustomed to new hormone levels, you will begin to feel more comfortable in your body.
