How I Learned to Love the Ekiden and Why You Should Too
This fall the Japanese ekiden season attracted a level of talent it hasn't seen for a while, with a U.S. team on a par with the best collegiates at October's Izumo Ekiden and medalists from the last two Olympics including American darling Galen Rupp lining up at November's International Chiba Ekiden. With last weekend's National Corporate Women's Ekiden and National Junior High School Ekiden on the books and the National High School Ekiden coming up this Sunday we are well into the best time of the year in Japan, the winter championship ekiden season with no less than eight major races on six successive weekends, all but two with incredibly well-produced live nationwide broadcasts. Apart from Ken Nakamura's IAAF reports on the bigger races and my own coverage they're all bound to pass almost unnoticed outside Japan apart from one or two "Huh, the Japanese sure do love their ekidens"-type mentions. I started Japan Running News, having run in the NCAA and come to Japan for reasons unrelated to running, largely because I saw races like the Hakone Ekiden, the biggest and best of them all, couldn't believe I'd never heard of something so awesome before, and thought, "People should know about what's going on here. They're missing out." For the last five years I've tried to convey some of how exciting and engrossing they can be, both to watch and to run, but I realize that it's hard for most people elsewhere to find them accessible. Like anything else, it's a lot more enjoyable when you know something about it and have some idea of what's going on. So, let's spend some time looking at what they're about and where the appeal is.
What's an ekiden?
This isn't going to be a history of how ekidens came around. What's on Wikipedia covers that pretty well. But, for basics, ekidens are long-distance road relays. There's no fixed distance or number of runners. You have races like my local Shibuya Ekiden with four-person teams all running the same 2.9 km loop, the New Year Ekiden with seven-man teams running stages between 8.3 and 22.0 km with a total distance of 100.0 km, the Hakone Ekiden with ten-man teams each running roughly a half-marathon over the course of two days, and the Grand Tour Kyushu, a massive eight-day, fifty-leg race around Japan's southernmost main island. Many, like the National High School Ekiden, are subdivisions of a half-marathon for women or a marathon for men. The start and finish points are usually based on the availability of a parking lot or other staging ground off the side of the road, and so you end up having people competing over completely arbitrary distances like 8.3 or 22.0 km. The International Chiba Ekiden represents an attempt to make an international standardized format, dividing a full marathon into 5.0 and 10.0 km stages with a 7.195 km anchor stage. It's a pretty good bet that if the ekiden format ever makes it into the Olympics it'll be something similar to Chiba.
The tasuki
The one thing they all have in common is the tasuki, the sash that each runner hands off to the next. It's worn over one shoulder and under the other arm, tightened with a loop and the end tucked into the shorts. Coming up to the handoff zone, runners usually take the tasuki off and wrap it around one hand before starting their last kick. Just before handing it off they unwrap it and hold both ends horizontally between both hands. The next runner grabs it in the middle with one hand and then while starting to run puts it on, tightens it, tucks in the end, and gets down to business. Getting it across the line is the only thing that matters, and you are only a part of making that happen.
The important thing to realize is that the tasuki is not just a piece of cloth. Especially at the championship level, and especially especially at Hakone where it extends to the point of animism, when you run an ekiden you aren't just running alone wearing a piece of cloth over your shoulder. You are carrying the weight of all the years it took the other runners to get there, all their workouts, all their injuries, all their dreams since they were kids. It's not just that if one person DNF's then the whole team goes down that year, it's more. When you put on that soaking wet, stinking piece of cloth and your own sweat mingles with it there is a physical bond formed between your life and theirs, your own years of work becoming part of something bigger, and others are waiting to join you. Giving anything less than your best is not sacrificing your gift, it is sacrificing everybody else's gifts.
That's the tasuki. It's no joke. At Hakone the tasuki has spiritual significance. Past teams' tasukis are treated like sacred relics. Next time you're in Tokyo go visit the Raffine run center near Kanda Station. The director, Yasuto Kimura, was captain of Chuo University's Hakone Ekiden team back in his day. Proudly framed on the wall is the tasuki they wore, never washed, stained and crusted with salt that testifies of what he and his teammates gave to be part of it.
The individual and the team
Let's go back to a point or two there. In traditional team race scoring you have, for example, seven guys in the race, five of them scoring. That leaves a built-in margin of error. If you have a bad day and run slow or drop out you know that, barring a total disaster, someone else will clean it up if you slack off. Although the front-end competition for the individual win usually leads to as big or even bigger a share of the laurels than the team win, in this respect, in this style of racing the individual doesn't really matter as much. You can afford to have some people fall by the wayside.
In ekidens, everybody must finish or nobody does. Even one bad performance will pull everybody down. There is no margin of error. They have awards for the fastest individuals on each stage but they are footnotes to a team title. If everybody gives it what they have then everybody can have something good. Every single person on the team matters, and in that respect, counterintuitively, maybe, the ekiden actually places more importance on the value of the individual. Not to say that one way is necessarily better than the other, but I tend to see these differences reflected in the social models of the societies in which they take place.
The race
So, looking at an ekiden, whether watching or running one, what can you expect? Jeff Schiebler, who spent his best years in the corporate leagues, once said that he didn't watch ekidens on TV because it was just hours of shots of one guy at a time running by himself. Several people on the U.S. team at this year's Izumo Ekiden also said they had a hard time coping with running their stages because it was essentially a solo time trial. To me that's like saying chess is just two people moving pieces of marble around on a board or that a move itself is just picking up one piece and putting it down on another square. Only true if you're not familiar with the game. Let's look at that game.
The First Stage
This is the only place where you have head-to-head competition in the normal sense you see in other kinds of racing. Teams usually put one of their fastest runners, at least one of their best kickers, here, especially on televised races where they will have a chance of maximizing their screen time. If you're a corporate team coach and you put one of your slower guys on first they will either not be on TV or, worse, will be shown as an early straggler behind the pack. The sponsor company will not be happy. That's also part of the reason for the general ban on non-Japanese athletes on the First Stage in the championship races. When they allowed them, most of the time they would run away from all the Japanese competition right from the gun. You could say that this made for bad television for the home crowd along with extra logistical headaches for the broadcast companies, usually among the main sponsors. With this ban in place even at the high school level you could also say that it is reinforcing a mindset in Japanese runners that they are inherently not as good as non-Japanese athletes and that it's better just to race other Japanese. Since the ban became commonplace the First Stage in championship races has tended to become more tactical, going to the athletes with the strongest kick.
The International Stage
As a consequence of the ban, Africans are lumped together in one stage, I believe without exception the shortest stage in each race. Yes, the fastest runners are forced to run the shortest distance. This is nominally to minimize the advantage that richer teams have in being able to recruit people like Samuel Wanjiru, Paul Tanui and Ibrahim Jeilan, but it's also great for the TV broadcasters. Take last weekend's National Corporate Women's Ekiden, where the International Stage is 3.6 km. That's around 11 minutes of airtime. Like on the other stages, keep showing the incoming runners handing off, do a graphic showing a CG map of the course, cut to a commercial break or two, and interview the winner of the previous stage. Where on longer stages you would still have say 20 minutes of airtime in which to show the race, on the International Stage you only have to show around 1 minute of Africans thrashing whatever Japanese competition is on that stage. Of course, since it's the shortest stage teams that don't have Africans will put their weakest runners on, making the thrashing look even worse than it really is, which needless to say, reinforces the mindset of Japanese athletes being inferior to any African who runs against them.
Stage bests, passing records and psychology
Winning a stage is where the individual glory aspect comes in. There is an award, the kukansho, for the person who clocks the fastest time on a stage. Although the First Stage plays out like a normal race, after that the runner in front is not necessarily the fastest one running that stage. You have to remember that a runner's position is that of the combined efforts of the team. It's hard to lead all alone, and so the fastest runner on a given stage is often someone further back who is trying to run people down. The last few years at Hakone the Second Stage, where most coaches put their star runners, has seen the person clocking the fastest time start way back in the field after a weak opening leg and just eat people up. This makes for great TV and is key to the psychology of running an ekiden stage. Even if there is nobody in sight ahead of you, you're not out there doing a solo time trial, you are a greyhound going after that damned rabbit. It's not about your pace or the time on your watch, it's about, "I want that guy and am I getting closer to him?" It's about gauging what you have to do to run someone down in the amount of ground that you have or at least to get within a given margin. For those who do well, there is recognition for passing exceptional numbers of people, another mark of individual glory. For those who don't, it is settle in, keep a good position for the next runner, and try not to get caught.
If you are leading, the variables are greater. If you know another team has someone big coming up or that your team has a weaker runner after you, the incentive is there to make your margin as big as possible. If you're more secure in your chances then you can play possum. You know that the next runner behind you will be going out hard to try to catch you and will probably not be able to cover the whole stage at that kind of pace. It's common, especially later in a race, to see the leading runner in that position, running conservatively, letting the chasing athlete get close, and then turning it on. There is nothing more disheartening than going as hard as you can to catch someone, see them come within range, and then they suddenly take off and pull away again. When this strategy works it usually breaks the person chasing and leads to an even larger margin for the leader.
Stacking a team
That leads to the question of how you set up a team. Do you want to be in the race from the start and try to hang on or do you want to try to run people down late in the race? How do the other teams stack up? How are they likely to set their teams up and how might that impact your runners' situations on each stage? "If Team A puts runner X on first and runner Y on second then my third runner will be playing catchup. If they put runner Z on second instead then we'll have the lead on third and they'll be running us down. What would these scenarios mean for our fourth runner? Which is more likely?"
This overall strategy is what sets the ekiden apart as a form of racing. It's a big picture that evolves over time. What approach is a team taking? Who are they putting where and how does that play off against what another team chooses to do? This is where the beauty and the fascination come in. What secrets and surprises lie ahead? In a documentary after this year's Hakone Ekiden they showed footage from inside defending champion Waseda University coach Yasuyuki Watanabe's chase car. Rival Toyo University had a supreme specialist, Ryuji Kashiwabara, for the massive uphill Fifth Stage. Watanabe knew that Waseda needed a lead of at least three minutes by then to stay ahead and have a chance on the remaining five stages and had gauged how much each of the first four runners needed to contribute to make that happen. Waseda's first man did his job, but on the Second Stage Toyo's Keita Shitara caught Waseda. His strategy shattered with eight out of ten stages still to go, Watanabe just shook his head and said, "I thought Shitara was hurt. That's it, it's over." And he was right.
Of the two basic scenarios Japanese coaches almost always go for option A, better people earlier, both for the sponsor/TV broadcast reason mentioned earlier and because of the possum threat. You rarely see coaches go for option B, putting your best guys late in the race to try to run the competition down, although Izumo Ekiden course record setter Aoyama Gakuin University's head coach Susumu Hara is talking about doing that at Hakone next month, which would be pretty interesting. Another reason to avoid option B is the white sash.
The white sash start
Japanese police are very strict about road closures and race organizers like to do things efficiently, so almost all ekidens feature a white sash start on stages after the first. If runners from opposing teams fall farther than a specified margin behind the leader, they have to put on a white sash and start at the cutoff time. When the incoming runner arrives, the difference between the outgoing runner's start and the incoming runner's finish is added to the team's total time.
For example, say the white sash start time is 10 minutes after the leader. One team's incoming runner has not arrived, so the waiting runner puts on a white sash and starts on a gun at the 10 minute mark. 2 minutes later his teammate comes in. Although the outgoing runner is physically 10 minutes behind the leader, the team is actually 12 minutes behind and the 2-minute differential will be added to the final time.
This has the advantage of keeping people closer together, generally leading to better performances, but can get a bit confusing, especially in the two-day Hakone Ekiden. There, teams start the second day with the same margin with which they finished the first day. If Team B finishes Day One 30 seconds behind Team A, then on Day Two they will start 30 seconds behind Team A. Any teams finishing Day One more than 10 minutes behind the lead team start Day Two together 10 minutes after the leader. If Team C finishes Day One 10:05 behind Team A and Team D finishes 11:00 behind, both Team C and D will start Day Two 10 minutes behind Team A. Team C carries a 5 second handicap throughout the day, while Team D carries a 1 minute handicap. Team D could spend the day 30 seconds ahead of Team C physically but they are still actually 25 seconds behind on time. Not that tricky, but if they start getting white sashed on Day Two then they carry two handicaps, sometimes three. It gets very hard to keep track of the actual standings versus the running order for the back half of the field.
The most significant thing about the white sash start is that it means the original tasuki does not finish the race. The efforts of the runners up to that point as embodied in the tasuki are lost, the continuity and connection to the later runners severed. Apart from a DNF this is the worst thing that can happen in an ekiden. Runners missing the white sash cutoff by seconds, holding the tasuki in their hands and crying, are always one of the most dramatic and heartbreaking parts of watching an ekiden, again especially in Hakone where the symbolism and stakes are so much greater.
The seeded bracket
For the winning team there is glory aplenty, especially in the championship ekidens which have audiences in the tens of millions. In some races teams finishing within the top bracket are seeded for the following year, while the teams below that bracket will have to run a qualifying race to get back in. That cutoff point keeps things interesting well back from the race for the top, and especially in Hakone it is as exciting to watch the battle for the last seeded spot in 10th as it is to watch the winner.
A lot of the time it's more exciting. You might remember Koku Gakuin University's Natsuki Terada a few years ago taking a wrong turn with 200 m to go on the anchor stage in a four-way battle for the last three seeded spots, 8th through 10th place. Although the video was a viral hit overseas as a laugh at some idiot taking a wrong turn while leading a race and losing, the real story was that even though he went off-course Terada still managed to get back and outkick one competitor to take 10th and give tiny Koku Gakuin its first-ever finish in the Hakone seeded bracket. His wrong turn was hillarious but it was actually a video of triumph, not loss. Pity the guy he outkicked for 11th.
Who cares?
I could write something like this every year for the next five years and there still wouldn't be much change in international interest. People will still say, "Huh, the Japanese sure do love their ekidens," if that even. That's partly self-inflicted; how much effort do the Japanese make to make something like the International Chiba Ekiden internationally-available, much less something like Hakone or any of the others? But really, you should know about what's going on here. They don't have these ekidens because the Japanese love them, the Japanese love them because they are an enthralling, complex and multi-layered form of racing. The arbitrary stage lengths mean that the times do not refer to anything outside of that stage. Given that the winter championship ekidens are what Japanese runners are trained to focus on above all else, that means that their best performances are invisible, nowhere to be found on their IAAF, or even JAAF, profiles, but at the same time it frees the racing from being chained to the one dimension of time, of being the single fastest person. It's about competition, about having the drive and snarl to run that guy down. It's about every person in the race truly mattering, and about being part of something bigger. Even as elite times around the world get faster and faster, popular interest in track, cross-country and elite marathoning is on the wane. Everywhere except here. The Japanese sure do love their ekidens. Maybe they're on to something. You're missing out. Don't.

Thanks, Brett, good insights into ekidens.
It's true that the white sash is a major factor in Japanese ekidens, even public (non-elite) ones.
My club (which Brett is also a member of) Namban Rengo - The Barbarian Horde - is a 200+ member "foreigners" running club, although actually half of our members are Japanese.
Each year we run the Okutama Ekiden, I think the oldest ekiden in Japan after Hakone - this year was the 74th. It takes place in the hills in the far west of Tokyo with about 120 men's teams, 50 women's teams, 40 college teams (either clubs or the "C" or "D" teams of the big schools - still very fast guys) and 10 high school teams. 6 men, 44.8km.
The women's race is 3 women, 13.1km, I suppose because when they first let women run it was a time when women did not run far, and this being a typically conservative Japanese event, they don't consider changing it. (No chips, either, times all taken by old codgers with watches, and somehow they get every single person correct to the second, as our watches show every year.)
Anyway, they give out white sashes after a certain amount of elapsed time after each leg. We don't want to get a white sash, so as the person who makes up the teams each year (this year we had 3 men's teams) I am careful to put faster guys on the first 2 or even 3 legs. Sometimes we don't have enough "fast' guys, so it becomes a bit tricky. Also, the 3rd and 4th legs are the shortest, so you would normally put the slowest runners there, but maybe you can't because a slower guy wants to run the 1st or 2nd leg, or whatever, and maybe having a fast guy blaze the largely downhill 4th leg is a good strategy.
By the way, we don't have enough really fast guys, or women, to be able to finish up top or even in the top 20, so I just take the fast runners we do have and put them on separate teams, which also promotes rivalry among the 3 teams, which is fun. (Although when the club first started running it, in '89, '90' '91 we had 6 VERY fast guys (30-32 for 10k) and finished 4th, 4th and 5th.)
As Brett said, the white sash runners (regular sashes are yellow, blue for university, red for HS) start together, and thus get to "race" with others, so you would think that guys would be happy with this, but no! Everyone agrees with the strategy of putting some faster guys on early, because they don't want to get "white-sashed." Even in a public ekiden with "average" teams, and even among foreigners, it is understood that getting white-sashed is ignominious and "hazukashii" (embarrassing), and is to be avoided if at all possible.
Everyone feels strongly that it is a *team* event — the 4th, 5th and 6th guys would rather run with just 2 or 3 other runners in sight than run with a white sash.
And everyone who runs it agrees that it is a great experience. I get emails from people who left Japan 15 years ago saying, "Are you guys still running the Okutama Ekiden?"
So, yes, ekidens are great. If there's one in your area, run it. If there's not, start one!

Okutama is my favorite race in Japan. It's the same day as Fukuoka on a longer version of the same course as the Ome 30k. I usually run 2nd there, but as I recall the one time I ran anchor we got white sashed. I was in good shape and ran down a lot of people whose teams had cleared the cutoff. I had the dubious honor of being the first white sash finisher but felt more embarrassment at that than anything else. I still remember hearing spectators near the end saying, "Hey, a white sash is already here!"
- December 21, 2012 at 1:06 AM
Unfortunately I only did Okutama once in my time there. Shibuya a few times and a few others. Thoroughly enjoyed them. I had all but forgotten the "white sash" until I read this and it brought back bittersweet memories (bitter = getting white sashed; sweet = running ekidens).
Excellent write up.

wonderful memories about Okutama ---
I would also say that I miss that race the most.
very nice post, Brett, thanks!
the Japanese sure do love their ekidens ;-)
- December 21, 2012 at 9:39 AM
Women never get white sashed in Okutama Ekiden, because the race is too short. The rigid old guys from Okutama Ekiden don't change their idea that women can't run distance. Good and bad about being "traditional".... I still love the ekiden.
- December 21, 2012 at 1:08 PM
Great post Brett. Can't wait to watch Hakone. Wouldn't be able to appreciate it half as much without your blog.
- December 24, 2012 at 12:22 PM
I ran an ekiden in Misasa back in '07. It was the best time I ever had running distance (and it was only 2k!)
Relay racing is so much fun -- I wish all those 5/10k runners in the US would run ekiden instead.
it's hard to organize ~8 people for a road race, though...

And when you've gotten enough sun, meander next door for unlimited mini golf for two at Fiesta Falls Mini Golf.
The next day, get lost in the history of Castillo de San Marcos National Monument and the Colonial Spanish Quarter; take a sip of immortality at The Fountain of Youth; tour the San Sebastian Winery; cast off the St. John's County Fishing Pier; and finish your day with dinner at a romantic spot like La Pentola. Trust us, you'll be glad Ponce de León's search for the fabled island of Bimini backfired in such an incredible way.
"Beautiful rooms and landscaping. Wonderful and engaging owners and staff. Three trips so far and never disappointed. The B&B is on the beach with a ten-minute drive to the historic and really cool city of St. Augustine."-- TripAdvisor

Discussion in 'History Zone' started by Hostile, Mar 16, 2007.
Two. Dallas over Miami 24-3 and Dallas over Denver 27-10 in Super Bowls VI and XII.
taking a wild guess, division alignment? I know in the later sixties they had these funky division names - Capitol Divison, Century division, etc
without looking at other posts or googling, am I warm?
You're good. No idea. What year?
Yes, essentially. I answered it in post #25.
He was a Tampa Bay Buccaneer from the University of Tulsa. Played in 5 games in 1977. 0 TDs, 7 INTs.
I stand corrected. And BTW, it was a Sunday game.
I DISTINCTLY remember that game because I was fortunate enough to see the end of that game thanks to the friendly hospitality of the Bexar County Sheriff's Dept. But, that's a story I'd just as soon not recount right now! :
Ok I have a good one -
before Matt McBriar led the NFC in punting in 2006 who is the only other Cowboy player to ever lead either conference in punting?
Okay next one.
Where was the first ever Cowboys Training Camp held?
Ron Widby
Mike Saxon.
What 2 colleges did Vince Ferragamo attend? What CFL team did he play for in what year under which coach?
I take it my guess was wrong.
Mitch Hoopes?
Danny White?
California and Nebraska for the colleges.
Montreal Alouettes for the CFL team. 1981. No idea on the HC of Montreal.
Excellent. George Allen was the coach. Very impressive.
Not Saxon or White or Hoopes.
He wasnt a Cowboy when he led the AFC, in case that wasnt obvious in the way the question was structured
What college did Don Strock go to?
Oh you got me.
Marv Bateman?
Florida International.
I really liked him.

I am installing my first hive in a couple weeks in my backyard. I live in wooded area and have a few skunks and lots of raccoons in the area. I've seen as many as 6 raccoons at once foraging seed beneath my bird feeders and once they discovered I stored the seed in a metal can on the deck they were always trying to get in it.
I will be putting my hive up on concrete blocks. Is there anything else I should do to give the bees a fighting chance? Will they be strong enough the first few nights after install to discourage a skunk or racoon?

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as one of the top Cardiology & Heart Surgery hospitals in the nation for 2016-2017 by U.S. News & World Report.
A computerized tomography (CT) coronary angiogram is an imaging test that looks at the arteries that supply your heart with blood. Unlike traditional coronary angiograms, CT angiograms don't use a catheter threaded through your blood vessels to your heart.
Instead, a CT coronary angiogram relies on a powerful X-ray machine to produce images of your heart and its blood vessels. CT angiograms are noninvasive and don't require any recovery time. Coronary CT angiograms are increasingly an option for people with a variety of heart conditions.
Both CT and traditional coronary angiograms expose you to radiation. If you have known coronary artery disease, a traditional coronary angiogram may be a better option, since you can also receive treatment for your coronary artery disease during that procedure.

County working with SWCD on mutual projects
Cass County Correspondent
Cass County Board voted on March 5 to continue working with the county Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) on projects of mutual interest.
The board also received a report on 2012 SWCD accomplishments. Cass was one of five counties to share a $144,000 grant, which was matched with an equal amount of local funding to install 70 shoreland buffers between lakes and lawns on developed properties. One of those buffers is a band of native plants installed at Green Hill Town Homes on Gull Lake.
Another shoreland buffer program enabled 11 private landowners to install a buffer on 745 feet of lake shore using a $60,000 grant. The land owners matched the grant with $20,000 of their own money. State Reinvest in Minnesota funds were used to dedicate two conservation easements on 100 acres on Brockway Lake in Cass County. That is a shallow wild rice lake. Interest in this program has been high, the SWCD reported.
Funds from the Clean Water Fund enabled Cass to participate in inspecting 28 randomly selected private wells throughout the county for nitrates nitrogen as a part of a 13 county Minnesota Department of Health analysis of 1,555 private drinking wells.
Over 88.6 percent of wells sampled had nitrate levels below 3 mg. per liter. Only three Cass wells had higher than the normal range for nitrates. Those testing higher were generally found in the total study to be shallow wells, often near agricultural activities.
Clean Water Fund money also was used to stop soil erosion into three Cass lakes. A project on Ten Mile Lake north of Hackensack stabilized shoreline at eight sites around the lake. A project at Outing stopped erosion previously going into Roosevelt Lake.
The third project involved paving a short section of Buxton Road in Woodrow Township where as much as one ton of sediment from an adjacent town road had been washing annually into McKeown.
Because phosphorus is naturally occurring in soils, Environmental Services Director John Ringle said it is believed 30 pounds of phosphorous had been washing annually into Roosevelt Lake and 10 pounds annually had been washing into McKeown Lake prior to these erosion control projects.
People who live on one of 13 lakes in Cass County and own at least 20 acres will have an opportunity to obtain a tax incentive by maintaining at least 75 percent forest coverage on their property if they develop a Forest Stewardship Plan.
The targeted lakes are home to tullibee (cisco) fish, which are a primary prey fish of walleye, northern pike and muskellunge. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has found a direct link between tullibee survival and forest cover around where they live in cold, oxygen rich lakes.

text: A few months ago, Coco was caught in some photos that looked like they were way more than your typical meet and greet photos. Coco was seen with AP.9. Coco insisted that nothing had happened, despite AP.9 implying the pair had sex a lot. Ice-T and Coco made up at least a little bit and then everyone promptly forgot about it because our focus can never leave Lindsay Lohan for longer than a second. Now it turns out that AP.9 is selling a sex tape he made between himself and Coco. He apparently is asking $100K for the tape and accompanying photos. That seems low. I don't think the entire world really cares about a Coco sex tape, but there would be enough interest to easily make $100K. With that kind of number, I'm wondering if he really has a sex tape. Coco might have cheated with the guy, especially considering she has never sued, but is she dumb enough to let him make a video?

Match the charts of these functions to the charts of their integrals.
Can you find the volumes of the mathematical vessels?
Several graphs of the sort occurring commonly in biology are given.
How many processes can you map to each graph?
At a simple level, two interacting neutral atoms are subject to two opposing forces: firstly, they are weakly attracted by van der Waals forces; secondly they are repelled by Pauli repulsion. It is known that the van der Waals forces decay proportional to the sixth power of the separation and that the effects of the Pauli repulsion decay exponentially.
In 1924 it was suggested by Lennard and Jones that the potential energy of a system of two atoms separated by a distance $r$ could be approximated by
$$V(r) = 4\epsilon\left[\left(\frac{\sigma}{r}\right)^{12}-\left(\frac{\sigma}{r}\right)^6\right]$$
where $\epsilon$ and $\sigma$ are constants which are determined experimentally.
Think about this expression. What features might make it a sensible candidate for a model of reality?
A pair of atoms are brought together and the interaction energy measured. The results are plotted in the following chart:
Experiment with the constants to determine how well the Lennard-Jones potential can be used to model this potential energy.
Suppose that another potential energy curve $W(r)$ was suggested as follows:
$$W(r) = 4\epsilon_w\left[\left(\frac{\sigma_w}{r}\right)^{9}-\left(\frac{\sigma_w}{r}\right)^6\right]$$
How does $W(r)$ differ from the Lennard Jones potential? Do you think that $W(r)$ could yield a good match with reality with a good choice of constants $\epsilon_w$ and $\sigma_w$?

The live telecasts of the Hope/Calvin men's basketball games on Public Broadcasting station WGVU in Grand Rapids will continue through the 2005-06 season, officials of the station and colleges have announced.
The popular NCAA Division III rivalry has been televised by WGVU since the 1997-98 season. This new three-year pact is the third extension of the agreement.
"We are very proud to be able to bring the biggest rivalry in Division III basketball to the fans of West Michigan," said Michael Walenta, general manager of WGVU.
Hope College officials also expressed their pleasure with the partnership between the station and colleges especially noting that WGVU's commitment to a quality telecast has been noted by many viewers.
"The telecasts have broadened the interest in our two colleges and this basketball rivalry," said Tom Renner, director of public relations at Hope. "We look forward to many more years of great basketball telecasts."
The Hope/Calvin rivalry started officially in the 1920-21 season. The first live telecast of a game between the colleges was on January 11, 1960 from the Grand Rapids Civic Auditorium. It was first beamed from Holland on February 15, 1961.
Since 2000, one of the annual games has also been beamed via satellite to sites throughout North America. This year nearly 2,500 Hope/Calvin alumni and friends gathered at nearly 50 locations from coast-to-coast to watch the game.

Quintessential Australia
Kangaroo Island is a unique destination, but it's also everything you hope for in Australia: The famous marsupials hop around a brilliant green landscape, some with curious joeys peeking from their pouches. Bone-white crescents of beach are home to fur seals and sea lions—even penguins on the north end of the island—and towering eucalyptus trees support koalas as they snack on leaves.
Autumn into winter (March through August) is the best time to visit for virtually no crowds of people; hiking and beach-bound adventures give you the feeling that you have this slice of the country to yourself.

Discussion in 'The Coffee Shop ~ Chit Chat' started by Dr_Zero, Mar 18, 2006.
What brand of wax do you use on your ride?
Your kidding right?
Wax the beast, hell I'm lucky if I wash it twice a year.
I can't imagine trying to wax it with anything other than a spray on.
Yeah. I guess I'm a sucker for the marketing, but I mostly use the turtle wax.
Haven't waxed the Suburban yet; I'm afraid it will peel the previous owner's paint job off and the truck will be orange again. :lol:
For my cars, though: I used to use Turtle Wax, primarily because that's what my Dad always used and that was what was in the garage. However, as I started getting into car shows and cruise nights, I started using the Meguiar's Liquid Gold Class wax. Works better than anything else I have ever used. Now my Dad has switched and he uses it too for his cars.
where do you get that at? what's the $$ cost?
You can get it at just about any auto parts store. I bought mine at Advance Auto Parts, just because that's the only one we have in my town. :lol: As for price, it's more expensive than Turtle Wax but it's still only $8-9 for a bottle, and that'll last you for a while.
Being as busy as I am, I've actually been going through car washes about 4 times per year and getting whatever wax they have. Once my arm heals up a good waxing by hand would be good for all my vehicles.
A friend of mine had an '00 Trans Am that he used Zaino exclusively on. It always looked great.
if you guys have not seen www.griots.com yet, you should take a look they have some GREAT shop stuff on that site. Some of it is a little spendy but there are a lot of awesome additions to your shop and the products (from my experience so far are top notch). They have the whole detailing gamut, waxes, cleaners .... etc. its all there.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
This is on the same street as the Robot graffiti. I found the sign interesting for a couple different reasons: it was a bright thing by a dull, gray, funeral home, I deemed it a strange place to a parking lot, and I looked at the sign and went "wow so many different people with so many different purposes using a parking lot by a funeral home!" I know that's not very unusual but for some reason that put a lot of different stories of several different people doing contrasting things in one environment. Just like with the previous photo I wanted the life around the focus to act as a background frame to show the world of activity around it. This man stepped into the photo and walked towards me the moment I took the photo. I don't know who he is but him walking in the background in that shadowy light adds something interesting to the photo and, this guy is actually quite photogenic. I get the feeling that I either caught him by surprise or he actually wanted to be in the photo.

text: I just bought a 1996 C1500 4x4 single cab short bed with a 305 and 700R4 in it. Have a few questions about it. 1: The ABS light is on and stays on about 80% of the time. The truck stops fine and has fluid in it. I assume the light is due to a faulty sensor or loose wire. Im just wondering if this is a common issue with these trucks. 2: Did these trucks come with keyless entry? I didnt get a FOB with the truck and the man only had 1 key for it and it is a copy not original. If they came with FOBs which type is correct for the model and how hard is it to program a new one to the truck?

yeah i know it doesnt matter in terms of play responsibility. but i believe that in the post that u erased the context of that statement, i stated that he aligned to rolles side, and the route developed on rolles side. which is then easy to understand how brown could have lost sight of his responsibility. it was browns gaffe, but i can understand why he made it. sometimes the S can get an int when doing what he did, we just didnt have coverage on Gordon.
Thats why i guess i said overall it was really just a good play call that caught us off guard, and thats why i put some blame to rolle as well...it wasnt like rolle was trailing him by 10 yds, he was pretty much a step or two trailing the entire way really...but i know the alignment presnap doesnt matter in terms of what the defensive responsibilities are...
Well players dont usually make mistakes for poor reasons, either they dont get the play properly, or they dont realize what they should be doing.
Rolle never gained on him because the WR bent the route outwards away from him, Rolle had a lot of ground to make up, plus Rolle could not originally just forget about his assignment and run over to help stevie brown out.
Just talked to a former nfl DB. (Matt Bowen) he looked at the second passing TD and agreed that was Stevie Browns fault.
So Brown was solely responsible for both passing TDs allowed.

It's difficult to talk about this game and not mention Super Smash Bros.
Essentially, PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale is Sony's equivalent to Nintendo's franchise-blending beat 'em up platformer. The entire gameplay revolves around your choice of an iconic character from the PlayStation universe trying to beat the living daylights out of three others in a 2D side-scrolling environment. But Battle Royale does add a few extra features to alter the gameplay from its obvious inspiration.
For starters, the level environments are highly themed and interactive. You might be battling in a futuristic Metropolis as seen in Ratchet and Clank, or setting-to in the flaming underworld of Hades from God of War. At random moments in your battle, another Sony franchise will "invade" the level and you'll see the environment change, which will go so far as to actually affect the match in various ways. For example, the invading Patapon stage might see the little critters throwing spears at you from the distance, or in Hades a multi-headed hydra might suddenly lurch forward into the arena to fling players out of the way.
One particularly clever background stage is based around Buzz, where the map transforms into an impromptu quiz show. It even goes so far as to present players with a Buzz-like question and four coloured answer buttons for players to stand on before the timer runs out. The end result is a mad, frantic battle around the one correct answer platform to avoid any penalty. It's a welcome change in pace to the action and ensures that players are always aware of their surroundings.
While many matches end up as mad button mashing, Battle Royale has a decent combat engine buried beneath the eye-watering frenzy too. Three of the face buttons - triangle, square, and circle - deliver a variety of attacks ranging from light to heavy; while X is used for jump. The left analogue stick moves your player around the screen, while the right stick is used to throw your opponent in a particular direction. Overall, each character has around a dozen unique moves, each cleverly styled around their character's persona. Finally the triggers are used to activate a super attack, once powered up through normal combat.
Which brings us to the last aspect of the gameplay; your super meter. Normal attacks can't kill opponents; instead, successful attacks and combos build up your super gauge from level one, through to level three. Once full, you can activate your super attack at anytime and then hopefully inflict enough damage to kill an opponent or two. Saving up for level two or three will mean greater damage or range, but there's also a risk that you might save up your super attack and then fail to trigger it successfully.
The super attacks themselves are worth exploring for each character; many of them are appropriately amusing, such as Fat Princess charging around on a giant chicken pecking frantically at opponents, or Sweet Tooth, who will light up the screen with an assortment of missiles and machine-guns. Points can only be scored via super attacks, and the scoreless HUD means players won't know who is the victor until the carnage ends.
So far only a small number of characters have been announced. Prior to E3, the cast was known to include Kratos from God of War, Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal, Fat Princess, Sly Cooper, Colonel Radec from Killzone, and Parappa the Rapper.
In Los Angeles, Sony announced two new additions to the cast: Nathan Drake from Uncharted, and Big Daddy from BioShock.
It's certainly an odd assortment of characters, but early hands-on play indicates the mad mash-up works well. The combat is smooth from one character to the next, yet varied enough to make you want to practice with each in an effort to try and master them all. More surprising is the fact that the characters are all well-balanced, with no obvious stand-out in terms of advantageous moves or attacks.
No doubt players will find their own personal favourite, but it's doubtful that anyone will take this game too seriously. It's a fun, action packed brawler that doubles as a great multiplayer experience for all ages. Sony also announced that the game will appear on the PS Vita, and that version can link up to PS3 for cross-platform multiplayer.
You can look forward to beating the crap out of all sorts when PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale arrives later this year.

For more information on Graduate Fields, see below,"What is a Graduate Field?".
Students interested in pursuing a degree in the general areas of microbiology and immunology typically choose between one of three fields:
The Graduate Fields of Immunology & Infectious Disease, and Comparative Biomedical Sciences focus primarily on pathogens and host defense, whereas the Graduate Field of Microbiology emphasizes basic prokaryotic physiology, genetics, and ecology.
Based on their interests, faculty members in the Department of of Microbiology and Immunology are affiliated most strongly with the Graduate Fields of Immunology and Infectious Disease, and Comparative Biomedical Sciences. To identify the Graduate Fields in which particular faculty members participate, please visit respective faculty members' websites, or click here.
A Graduate Field is an academic group that consists of professors from across departments and colleges. For example, faculty members of the Graduate Field of Immunology and Infectious Disease come from six different departments (including the Department of Microbiology and Immunology) and three different colleges.
Faculty members often participate in more than one Graduate Field. For example, one of our faculty members, Dr. David Russell, is a member of four Graduate Fields: Comparative Biomedical Sciences; Immunology and infectious Disease; Microbiology; Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology.
As indicated above, prospective students who are interested in working with a faculty member in the Department must apply to a Graduate Field in which the faculty member participates. Once admitted, a graduate student must fulfill the requirements of his/her Graduate Field, as well as the requirements of a Special Committee, which supervises the student's academic program through the course of PhD study.
Program in Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS)
The Graduate Fields of Immunology and Infectious Disease, and Comparative Biomedical Sciences belong to a larger umbrella program, the Graduate Program in Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS). The BBS Program includes three additional Graduate Fields (Pharmacology; Molecular and Integrative Physiology; and Zoology and Wildlife Conservation). Students that enter the Program through one these fields must follow the requirements and guidelines of the individual field and BBS program in order to complete the PhD.
For general questions regarding graduate study in the department, please contact Ms. Sachiko Funaba, Kelly Boyko or Margaret Bynoe the Director of Graduate Study. For questions regarding the BBS program, applications and graduate study at Cornell in general, please contact the CVM Office of Graduate Education.
To apply to the Graduate Fields of Immunology & Infectious Disease, Comparative Biomedical Sciences, or any of the other Fields associated with the BBS program, please visit the web site of the CVM Office of Graduate Education at http://www.vet.cornell.edu/BBS/.

Like many of our family projects, this one came from seeing an item in a store and saying, "heck, we could make one of those, and probably better… or at least bigger." We were in the Christmas aisle admiring the gingerbread houses when we realized that three out of four members of our family don't even like gingerbread. However, being a family who enjoys watching Cake Boss on Netflix, we immediately thought of a wonderful replacement material: fondant.
Ok, it was actually Rice Krispie treats, used so frequently on the show that calling most of their creations "cake" is probably considered fraud in some jurisdictions. We had seen how easy Buddy and the family used the treats in their creations, and it was a material that we all liked (which is important if, like us, you find yourself spending much of your project time munching on the building materials). I have outlined below the general method we used to make our Rice Krispie treat house. Keep in mind that this was completely off-the-cuff, make-it-up-as-you-go. There are many things I will do different next time. Some, I've described below. Others, I have left out, as they may work out better for you, and part of the fun of any project is the problem-solving. Continue Reading "Hacking the Holidays: Rice Krispie Treat House" »

Where I stayed
What I did
Was meant to be a 22 hour trip to Dallas but was delayed by 5 hours because a Tornado damaged part of the track, a passenger was arrested, Amtrak had some admin issue and some other bits. Being my third visit to USA I had yet to see the stereotypical American (i.e. Cletus from the Simpson's), they had all been kind of normal until Chicago, this train trip and Dallas. The following all done in the voice of Cletus - A dude hit his elbow in a restaurant in Chicago and he shouted out "Ahhhhhhh I hit my funny bone". A girl wanted to go in the restaurant section in the train the mother goes "You can't go in there that's for bidness people". Another guy on the train telling his girl "I lu u darlin, I lu u". and "We in St Louis baby, wooooo". There were several others as this train was full of characters. Read the second hunger games book, and have to admit I saw those twists coming a mile off.
Got into Dallas late afternoon, before picking up the car and heading to hotel. Dallas has a few skyscrapers, but the area is massive and points of interest are spread out so defo need a car to get around. After a bite to eat we went to McKinney Avenue which has a lot of bars and being 33C a lot of people were drinking outside. We went to the most busy bar but were both shattered after the long journey so headed back, but could see this road being a great spot on a Fri and Sat night.
Early start as we were going to the Southfork Ranch which is where the TV show "Dallas" was filmed. Got there and got that authentic Texas feeling, once I saw the might JR Ewing. Did a tour of the ranch and got a few pics of the Ewing mansion. Apparently there is gonna be a new series, I bet it will all be a dream again. Went to the store and got some cowboy hat pics yeehaa. After this we went to some lakes to have a look around as we had the car before heading to the Fort Worth Stockyards. This is a historical site which preserves the cowboy tradition, so this was gonna be the real Texas experience. Had a wonder round and saw some cattle, went into a saloon where the lady loved our accents before we headed onto Billy Bob Honky Tonky which has a pub, restaurant, dancing, stages and bull riding on weekends. Did some line dancing which was not as easy as it looks and was really tiring but good fun
Did a bit of skype action before heading to downtown Dallas. I went to the 6th floor museum which is a museum to JFK and is in the building Lee Harvey Oswald shot him from. No cameras allowed so no pics below. Museum was really well down detailing JFK's history, then the shooting and the aftermath. Showed a lot of photos and movies from different angles of the shooting. They had one series of pic's 2 seconds apart showing JFK just before and after the shots, which made my jaw drop. They showed the film of how LHO was shot and how it was caught on live TV. When I first saw it, it looked like an old black and white comedy movie, didn't feel like someone has been shot so had to watch it again a few times as was so surreal. Spent a good few hours here and would recommend a visit. I took some pics of the building and the road where the shooting happened. An American guy h did ask me where I come from, I said UK, he goes do they speak English there. He was like oh I didn't realise that's what they spoke I thought it was another language. I smiled and walked away slowly maintaining eye contact.
Had a look around the relatively small downtown area and saw a memorial to JFK, the skyscrapers up close and the restaurant district. Headed back to the hotel and had a look around North of the hotel where I found some more outdoor pubs. Had a bite in a diner, and yes the portions were massive.
Skyscrapers at night light up in various colours and designs which look really nice. Unlike Chicago I would like to come Dallas again as reckon there is more still to do.

Jose Esquivel painting (top) and Gary Keller
UTSA co-sponsors 'San Antonio Wave: Four Generations of Chicano Art' April 7-9
(April 7, 2005)--The University of Texas at San Antonio, City of San Antonio Office of Cultural Affairs, Gallista Gallery Art Complex, Southway Ford, 1906 Art Gallery and Puro Gallo present three events associated with the exhibit, "San Antonio Wave: Four Generations of Chicano Art," April 7-9.
The exhibit and a reception honoring Gary Keller, Regents' Professor of Spanish and director of the Hispanic Resource Center at Arizona State University, are 6-9 p.m., Thursday, April 7 at the Gallista Gallery Art Complex, 1913 South Flores St. For more information, contact Joe Lopez at (210) 212-8606.

Featured artists in the exhibit are Magda Bowen, LA David, Rachel Delgado, Jose Esquivel, Xavier Garza, Angelica Gomez, Luis Guerrero, Jim Haught, Joe Lopez, Richard Menchaca, Aida Meza, Mike Molina, Fred Orozco, Larry Portillo, Alex Rubio, Elias San Miguel, Victor Tello and Luis Valderas. The exhibition is curated by UTSA art specialist Arturo Almeida.
In a second event, Gary Keller will lecture on "The San Antonio-San Marcos-Austin Corridor: The Key Chicana/o Artworld Phenomenon" at 5 p.m., Friday, April 8 at the UTSA Downtown Campus Durango Building Southwest Room (1.124), 501 West Durango Blvd. A reception follows the lecture.
Keller is widely acclaimed for his contributions to Chicano literature, as well as to bilingual and Hispanic education. A published author of fiction, nonfiction and poetry, he has provided opportunities for other Hispanic writers as founder of the Bilingual Review Press.
Keller is involved in several projects designed to help Hispanic students achieve their academic potential. He founded Project 1000, an effort to increase the number of Hispanic graduate students around the country. He is a key figure in Project Prime, working to increase the educational achievements of minority students in Arizona. His activities have taken him as far as El Salvador and Nicaragua, where he served on the Fulbright Selection Committee.
"The Texas Hill Country has a long-standing cultural relevance for Mexicano-Chicano culture dating back to the period of explorations by Spanish and other European voyagers," said Keller. "The Texas phenomenon shines for having reached a new level of maturity and sustainability that is not apparent elsewhere."
In a third event, Keller will moderate a panel discussion including San Antonio artists featured in the new book, "Triumph of Our Communities: Four Decades of Mexican American Art" from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Gallista Gallery Art Complex. The panel will be followed by a book signing and reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Books will be for sale at all "San Antonio Wave" events.

I'm a newbie, so please bear with me.
I purchased Mann Lakes's 8 frame medium supers with frames. I placed the frames in and there's a large amount of space left over if I have all the frame touching each other. ...enough so, I can stick a 9th frame in there.
With only 8 frames in there, isn't all that extra space a violation of "bee space"? How do you place the 8 frames in there, touching and centered or touching and all to one side? Anyone ever place a 9th frame in there?

Kurzeme Vards
November 28, 2001, in Liepaja, LatviaMatiss, a crime reporter with the Liepaja-based daily Kurzeme Vards, was attacked on November 15 in the stairwell of his apartment building after he returned home from a shopping expedition. In a phone conversation from the hospital two hours after the attack, Matiss told the paper's editor-in-chief, Andzilss Remess, that someone followed him home and hit him from behind with a truncheon or club. He was struck several times on the head, arms, and legs. The assailant fled when neighbors interrupted the attack.
Matiss underwent three operations and fell into a coma. He died on November 28 from a brain hemorrhage. The reporter had most recently investigated the contraband alcohol trade in Liepaja, according to Remess.
Though the police cited robbery, personal revenge, and retaliation for his journalism as possible motives, Matiss had not been robbed, and does not seem to have been involved in any serious personal dispute. His editor told CPJ: "Matiss knew a lot about the criminal world. He was one of those reporters who went deep." At press time, the police investigation was still ongoing.

Sunday Cup Online Race Event[ Edited ]
This is the home of the Sunday Cup Online Race Event or SCORE for short.
This is planned to be a weekly get-together primarily for those on the forums, but anyone is invited.
We only ask you race as clean as possible and have fun.
If you are familiar with GT Saturdays and Monday Night Racing, you know what to expect, this is kind of a mix of these two events.
This is planned to be pretty informal, with people coming and going so points is really not workable. Perhaps just a shoutout to the winners of various races would fill the need for recognition?
Cars will be low-to mid-powered, usually very affordable, and no worries of having to tune. This is a (usually) no-tuning, stock-car event. We usually use voted tracks, though I do usually choose the starting and ending tracks myself; we usually end at the Nurburgring for a couple of laps...
Want to join us? Join the "Cup Racing" Club (number 1000953). You are welcome.
I hope to see you there. Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Re: Sunday Cup Online Race Event[ Edited ]
Sunday Cup Online Racing Event for March 13, 2016
Event will begin at 6:00 and will run at least until 8:00.
Room will remain open until everyone leaves.
Note: Since this is a series of shorter races, feel free to come late or leave early. Or come early and leave late. Or any combination.
Just plan on as much of the 6:00-8:00 period as you can manage.
Legal Cars:
Lotus Elise Race Car
no tuning
No Nos.
RH tires
(though this is much more than it needs, this is what it comes on...)
Tracks to be used are:
Voted Tracks
Tire wear will be normal.
Only Traction control and ABS will be allowed.
I guess you can have the driving line, but you should learn to not use it... LOL
Remember to join the Cup Racing Club 1000953
See you there.
Re: Sunday Cup Online Race Event
dm you might want to just pick a % power limiter that is valid to use. like <=5% or something like that. give people something concrete to know whether they are violating the spirit of the rules or not.
I may join these occasionally if time permits.
what I like is that you are mixing the Saturday & Monday styles of racing and it is appropriately smack-dab in the middle of them! nice idea.
only troublewith me participating is that I already get up on Sundays to race w/ Oz and it may be hard to "negotiate" for more time

Re: Sunday Cup Online Race Event
Hey DM, I plan on getting on about 11 west coast time. I was going to have a look at the cars to see their various weight, perf pts, and HP. If I notice anything that might help out or think of an idea to help keep everyone close to your regs. I will let you know.
SIDE NOTE : Although we are very grateful to DM for salvaging this series. Along with a great theme. We have Andy to thank for it. Technically, he got it started. So let's not leave him out of the credits.
Thanks Andy & DM!
Who said it?
Re: Sunday Cup Online Race Event[ Edited ]
As for the time slot...
With me being a big NASCAR junkie, the 1:00-4:00 slot that was talked about isn't going to work for me very well. I'm usually watching them go around in circles during that time.
Especially the Daletona 500 that's coming up!
For what it's worth, 6-7pm Eastern is an ideal start time for me. I'm usually in bed by 9-10pm Eastern.
