Generic Name: caffeine/ergotamine (ka-FEEN/er-GOT-a-meen)
Brand Name: Cafergot
Serious and sometimes life-threatening decreases in the blood supply to the extremities (eg, hands, feet) or brain may occur if Cafergot is taken with certain other medicines, including HIV protease inhibitors (eg, ritonavir) and macrolide antibiotics (eg, erythromycin). Do not use Cafergot if you are also taking these other medicines. Inform your doctor of all the medicines that you are taking.
Cafergot is used for:
Preventing and treating certain kinds of headaches (eg, migraines, migraine variants, "histaminic cephalalgia"). It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Cafergot is a combination of 2 vasoconstrictors. It works by constricting blood vessels in the lining of the brain, which helps to decrease the pain from migraine headaches.
Do NOT use Cafergot if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Cafergot
- you are pregnant or may become pregnant
- you are in labor
- you have blood vessel problems (eg, peripheral vascular disease), coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, liver or kidney problems, or severe infection (eg, sepsis)
- you are taking an azole antifungal (eg, itraconazole, ketoconazole, voriconazole), delavirdine, HIV protease inhibitors (eg, delavirdine, indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir), efavirenz, a ketolide antibiotic (eg, telithromycin), a macrolide antibiotic (eg, clarithromycin, erythromycin), or selective 5-HT agonists (eg, sumatriptan, eletriptan)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

|Lady Cats end season winless in district play
|Bobby "Butch" Burney | News-Telegram Sports Editor
Feb. 9, 2005 - Tuesday was Senior Night for the Sulphur Springs Lady Cats, but it was a Greenville senior who had a career game.
Greenville's Kendra Rester scored a career-high 33 points in a 63-51 victory for the Lady Lions that marked the season finale for both teams.
The Lady Lions (6-25, 3-7) opened the game on a 12-1 run and held a double-digit lead for the remainder of the contest.
Sulphur Springs sophomore Cresha Hubbard scored a team-high 19 points to go with five rebounds, while senior point guard Terra Jackson contributed 13 points and five assists in her final game.
Greenville's Ashley Wheeler scored 11 points, and her two 3-pointers in the opening 90 seconds of the game helped the Lady Lions to a 10-0 lead. Hubbard broke SSHS' scoring drought with a free throw at the 5:25 mark, but the Lady Cats wouldn't score a field goal until 1:10 remained in the first quarter when Hubbard hit a bucket off a Jackson assist.
By that time, SSHS was down, 21-5, and trailed at the end of the first quarter, 24-7.
Greenville opened the second period on a 6-0 run that was finally snapped when junior guard Kaytlin Black banked in after a pass from Kayla Morgan. Black and Morgan both had solid games. Morgan finished with four points, four rebounds, two steals, two assists and two blocks, while Black had a team-high seven rebounds to go with an assist and a steal.
Also scoring in the quarter for the Lady Cats was senior Ne-Ne Hynson with a pair of baskets, and Jackson with a driving bank shot and three free throws after being fouled on the final shot of the half. Still, Sulphur Springs went into halftime facing a 41-20 deficit.
Greenville's advantage reached 29 points (51-22) midway through the third quarter before the Lady Cats mustered a five-minute, 17-0 run that sawed the Lady Lion advantage to just 12 points.
The lengthy run started with a putback by Morgan, a pair of buckets from Jackson, and a Hynson lay-up following three straight points from Hubbard. When Morgan grabbed another offensive rebound at the 6:01 mark, the score had been cut to 51-39.
But, Rester made eight-of-10 free throws in the final five minutes to hold off an SSHS comeback.
Playing in their final game for Sulphur Springs were Jackson, Hynson, Christina Patchen and Minta Mannon.
Both teams hit 50 percent of their two-point shots (SSHS: 19-of-38; G: 21-of-42), and were fairly even in rebounds (SSHS: 28; G: 24). The Lady Lions, though, made 3-of-13 3-pointers while SSHS was 0-of-5.
The Lady Cats ended the season at 6-25, 0-10 in District 12-4A.
SSHS 37, Greenville 36 (OT)
Emily Bouyear scored a game-high 21 points, including eight of the Lady Cats' nine points in overtime, as the SSHS JV won their third district game.
Sulphur Springs held a 28-25 lead with 11 seconds remaining in regulation, but Greenville's Trower hit a long 3-pointer with the clock winding down to send the game into overtime.
Bouyear scored seven straight points in a span of 40 seconds in OT to give the Lady Cats a 36-31 advantage.
SSHS finished the season with a 7-15 mark, 3-7 in district.
Greenville 2 8 2 16 8 -36
Sulphur Springs 4 9 9 6 9 -37
Greenville - Wallace 1, McManus 4, Trower 12, Neece 2, Cosper 9, Medrano 5, Williams 3.
Sulphur Springs - Emily Bouyear 21, Caitlyn Scudder 5, Amanda Wade 8, Dakeisha Nash 2, Sophia Scharl 1.
Greenville 42, SSHS 28
Greenville outscored Sulphur Springs in every period to pull away for the season-ending win.
Sulphur Springs (12-11, 4-6) was led by Shardae Jones with 11 points.
Greenville 11 10 8 13 -42
Sulphur Springs 7 8 3 10 -28
Greenville - Weyrick 8, Winenger 2, Garza 2, Griggs 2, Paul 3, Tidwell 4, Johns 4, Gray 1, McCormick 14, Casselberry 2.
Sulphur Springs - Jennifer Mitchell 3, Shardae Jones 11, Kesley Evans 5, Star Wright 6, Becca Sheffield 2, Stephanie Conley 1.

A Little History
The citizens of Dubois have always felt great pride in the proximity, accessibility and successful endurance of "our" herd, the Whiskey Mountain herd of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. In the late 1980's, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department was considering building some type of small-scale sheep observatory with interpretive signage at Whiskey Mountain. At about the same time, the Louisiana-Pacific lumber mill, which had been the primary engine driving the Dubois economy for decades, was faltering. The mill was forced to close in 1988, leaving the town to wonder if their economy was facing imminent failure. Dubois needed something to encourage tourists to stop and stay a little longer. The Wyoming Game & Fish Department wanted an avenue for public education. A suggestion was made to put a bighorn sheep-themed visitor center "in town". In a rather remarkable effort of co-operation, a partnership developed that included a broad spectrum of private- and public-sector groups. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department, the town of Dubois, the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Wild Sheep Foundation (formerly the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep), the Nature Conservancy, the National Wildlife Federation and many other entities and individuals contributed dollars, resources, talents and guidance to construct the National Bighorn Sheep Interpretive Center. The Center was opened to the public on July 3, 1993.
The National Bighorn Sheep Interpretive Association is primarily funded by memberships, admission fees, gift shop sales, donations, grants and special fundraising events.

these tri-shoes look really cool and are very comfortable. I am not a tri-athlete, but I think they wouldl be good for that. I bought just to slip on in the summer and not worry about getting wet(they have drain holes)
Reviewed by HarleyCowgirl from Oklahoma on Sunday, August 18, 2013Love the color combo & style. Fits like a glove, but I needed to go up a size.
Reviewed by VA Athlete from VA on Saturday, June 1, 2013I use these shoes for my gym workouts. They are very light and the fit is snug but comfortable. I haven't gotten any blisters or rubbing from the shoe, but the back of the shoe is high so wear 3/4 or mini crews with them.

Verified Buyer Reviewed by sandraelaine from Upstate NY (Adirondacks) on Wednesday, January 23, 2013These run a little small so order the next half size up. They are sooooo comfortable. I use an insert to add a little arch support. They are great for Zumba. They glide across the floor easily.
You won't be disappointed with these shoes. When I wear them at the gym, everyone asks about them and wants to know where to get them. I now own three pair. I don't want to be without a pair.

ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather didn't draw a penalty. At times he changed up the way he hit; other times he still went high -- albeit lower than he had in the past. Whether he'll continue this style will be answered in coming weeks. But for one game, Meriweather exited without any issues (though San Diego Chargers running back Ryan Mathews didn't like one hit).
Meriweather did not head hunt or knee hunt, though he certainly tackled low at times (as do many defensive backs). Here's a breakdown of his tackles:
Second and 10, Redskins' 42-yard line, second quarter. Meriweather is about seven yards off the ball at the snap and runs up to tackle Mathews up the middle; Meriweather hits him under his pads and tries to wrap up as Mathews leans forward, bringing him down after six yards.
Second and 1, Chargers' 37, second quarter. Mathews bounces outside and Meriweather lines him up, sprinting from deep middle. Meriweather lowers his head on his approach but appears to first hit with his left shoulder, hitting Mathews just below his right shoulder pad as the Chargers' back lowers his head a little as well. It's a bit close for comfort. Mathews exchanges words with Meriweather after the play, pointing at him as officials separate the two.
First and 10, Chargers' 15, second quarter. Meriweather, playing deep half on the right side, reads a swing pass to running back Danny Woodhead in the left flat. Meriweather aggressively pursues and hits the 5-foot-8 Woodhead in his legs, just above the knees. It's his only tackle attempt that low. I wouldn't say he was aiming for knees considering this was his only tackle in that area.
First and 10, Redskins' 45, second quarter. Another pass to Woodhead with Meriweather in deep middle. Again, he pursues aggressively and hits Woodhead just under his shoulder pads.
Third and 3, Chargers' 30, fourth quarter. Rivers dumps a short pass over the middle to receiver Keenan Allen, with Meriweather about 10 yards downfield. Allen spins away from one tackle, running away from Meriweather. The Redskins' safety hits him between his waist and shoulder pads, wraps him up and tackles him. A good tackle.

BOX 1. Selecting the Leading Gateways
BOX 1. Selecting the Leading Gateways
This report ranks freight gateways by the value of merchandise trade they handle. Value data were compiled from multiple sources, allowing comparison of all the freight modes. See box 2 for a detailed description of the freight data sources.
The relative position of the top gateways would be different if ranked by weight because, for example, seaports handle heavier or bulkier goods than airports. This report ranks by value because export weight data are incomplete in data collected by U.S. authorities. Tonnage data are available for imports and exports by air and water modes. For land modes (truck, rail, and pipeline), tonnage data are only collected for imports. U.S. exporters are not required to report export weight.
Where export and import tonnage data are both available (e.g., for seaports and airports), this report presents the weight data without making a comparison with land gateways. The report also identifies import tonnage at land gateways.
It is possible to estimate export tonnage using value-to-weight ratios derived from imported commodities. The accuracy of such estimates is likely to be greater at the national level than at the gateway level. Therefore, weight data for land exports have not been estimated for individual gateways. However, BTS has estimated the weight of land exports at the national level, and this information is presented in figure 3.

Cue the tabloids: the New York Giants may have just started their annual mid-season Swoon, after yesterday's 24-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers dropped Big Blue to 6-3.
Eli Manning and the offense did just about nothing as the Giants let a 10-point lead slip away in the fourth quarter. The defense had its own problems, but the passing game's disappearing act has left a sour taste in our mouth (the pathetic attempt to establish a ground game the coinciding pounding headache) and is an ominous cloud hanging over a Giants team that's about to hit the hard part of the schedule.
The post-game debate devolved into a blame game: Whose fault was this horrible loss, the offense or the defense?
Let's do our best to exercise the pain in our gut from an awful, awful offensive showing. Get ready, this is going to be long:
Eli Manning's offense came out flat and ended the day totally flat. Ahmad Bradshaw ran 15 times for a whopping 48 yards, Hakeem Nicks had one catch for ten yards and Eli Manning went 10/24 for 125 yards and an interception. Yikes.
The box score is bad enough to look at, but let's get anecdotal on this mother: the red zone offense continues to be among the worst in the league (the only time they were able to punch it came after a questionable personal foul that extended the drive at the goal line); Eli Manning killed another drive with an awful interception and appeared on different pages with his wideouts on several plays; bad decision-making on 3rd-and-9 at the outskirts of field goal range at the end of the half (reminiscent of the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles) not only resulted in Lawrence Tynes missing a 51-yarder, but in the Steelers getting a field goal of their own.
Instead of 17-7, they went into the half 14-10. By the end of the third quarter the Giants had inched the lead back up to 10 anyway, so no worries right? Wrong.
In the fourth quarter, the Giants had the ball three times, losing twelve yards, picking up three yards and then gaining one yard. Three 3-and-outs in their territory, three punts. The Steelers scored 14 unanswered, game-winning points.
Okay, so the defense is not exactly off the hook, although they were pretty good in the first half.
Isaac Redman, like most every other running back has done this year, gashed a defense that just couldn't bring him down. Mike Wallace took a quick pass on 3rd-and-5 from around midfield and just ran by the entire secondary for a touchdown, a blow to the gut they never seemed to recover from. Sure, the defense didn't do its job in the second half…but they played a good first half, scored as many touchdowns as the offense did and were totally hung out to dry in the fourth.
The Giants offense has actually been showing cracks the last few weeks, with Victor Cruz' 77-yard game-winner against the Washington Redskins covering up a barely mediocre day and the thrilling victory in Dallas rose-coloring a day that in reality was a marginally better version of yesterday's catastrophe.
With offensive power houses like the New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons on the upcoming schedule, the offense is going to need to wake up quickly…or this hangover will turn into a bender.

Keerthika who does the lead negative role in the serials Chellame and Mundhanai Mudichu gets herself into trouble. The actress Keerthika is very popular among people who watch these serials as she has more people hating her than loving her. It is simply because Keerthika takes revenge on an entire family by tourturing them in the serial Chellame. In the other serial Munthanai Mudichu too she does a role which makes people hate her.
Recently Keerthika got married and went to the Kalikambal temple. Although she went into the temple filled with joy about her marriage and her life, she was left in tears when coming out of the temple. The reason was that, people at the temple started showing their dislike for Keerthika almost on her face. It is the tendency of the audience to not be able to distinguish between screen life and real life. These audience ended up voicing their opinion on her almost straight on her face.
Some went on to say how can someone so bad end up coming to the temple. Even if she had to cry because of these words, Keerthika felt good about the fact that there are so many people watching her serial.

But there are fears that businesses whose wireless network leaks beyond the office walls and into the street could become targets for hackers.
Jeremy Beale, head of e-business for the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), said: "The CBI condemns warchalking as an implicit incitement to irresponsible and illegal acts.
"Hacking company networks could potentially provide access to commercially sensitive data, and is a security risk.
"Warchalking could harm businesses financially and operationally, while also compromising the confidentiality of customer information."
But Ben Hammersley, a freelance writer who says he made the first chalk mark of the craze outside his house in central London five weeks ago, said: "The potential use of warchalking for hacking purposes has been highly overblown.
"A hacker who found that a system was insecure would be extremely unlikely to find anything useful to him or her.
"For people who do this it's more like a hobby, like playing chess or solving crossword puzzles.
"If people want to do harm, they are hardly likely to mark the place where they have been with chalk.
"In practice they are able to alert the system administrators that their systems are insecure and to save them from potential malicious hackers.
"If people are able to break into somebody's computer network just by turning on their laptop the company has a bigger problem than people putting marks on the side of a building."
Warchalking was devised as a concept on June 24 by some of Hammersley's friends.
That day, he marked the wall outside his house in Kensington after creating a "wireless cloud" around his house that enables anyone living in or passing through his street to switch on their computer and use his connection.
Hammersley said: "It means people can sit with their laptops in cafes, which is a nice way to work. Two or three people a day that I don't know use the network, which makes me very happy.
"Computer students at Imperial College, which is near here, have seen the chalk mark on the wall, know what it means, and have been able to use their laptops as a result."
The craze has spread to America and marks have been spotted as far away as France and Japan.
But Richard Swann, IT infrastructure manager at the Institute of Directors, said: "The idea that warchalking is helping companies to realise their security problems is wrong.
"IT directors have known for some time that wireless networks are targets for abuse. Simply, warchalking in public places is graffiti and may facilitate hacking which is an illegal act.
"Hacking existed before mobile networks and costs millions to business each year.
"A hacker could be just as likely to create viruses or hack in the privacy of a warm room, rather than outside in a cold rainy street.
"Businesses need to ensure that they protect themselves from any threat.
"We suggest four things: instal the appropriate security, get the correct advice, don't use wireless networking for mission critical systems and try to limit the broadcasting of your network by appropriately placing transmitters."

Which Legendary Drummer Turns 67 Today?
Hint: He has been hitting the skins and threatening BBC Radio disc jockeys since 1964.
Happy birthday today to Nick Mason. The legendary Pink Floyd drummer has played on every single Pink Floyd album and is the only constant member of the band since its inception in 1965.
Though Nick was a constant throughout the band's history, his voice has only been used on a few occasions. One being the Corporal Clegg album and "One Of These Days" (from the 1971 album Mettle) where he utters the line, "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces." He also speaks on "Signs of Life" and "Learning to Fly". The spoken portion from "Fly" was actual audio taken of Nick speaking to an airport communications tower during his first ever solo flight. Nick sang lead vocal on two unreleased (but widely bootlegged) songs, "Scream Thy Last Scream" and "The Merry Xmas Song".
Nick has also stepped out of his comfort zone behind the skins and played guitar, bass and keyboards on Ummagumma and Outside the Wall. He also played keyboards on an album called Profiles he released with Rick Fenn in 1985. Here is the video for a song off that album called "Lie for a Lie". Also see if you recognize the singers voice.
If you guessed David Gilmour, you're right!

In recent weeks Google has begun to crack down on commercial offerings that scrape search results data. Companies like Raven Tools and Ahrefs have made the call to stop providing this data in order to keep their AdWords API access.
Previously, Google's main defense against SERPs scraping was a captcha.
Last week I speculated that Google wasn't making this extra effort just to protect ranking data. After all, the Google Webmaster Console provides ranking data for your own website (just not that of your competitors). I wondered whether Google was increasingly interested in protecting its Knowledge Graph data too.
There are now reports that the FTC may end it's two-year antitrust probe of Google if the search engine makes some voluntary changes. In particular; the FTC wants to see Google stop using restaurant and travel reviews from sites like TripAdvisor and Yelp.
At this stage this is all speculation.
However, if Google is limited in the data it is able to show/collect by "scraping" certain high profile sites then the search engine may be more protective of the data it shows. The difference between scraping and indexing in this scenario does begin to get a bit blurry.
The maths is fairly simple – the more rare something becomes, the more expensive it gets – and that is what may be happening with carefully ordered data. That might well explain why Google is looking to protect its own presentation of data with more enthusiasm than it has previously.

If you are looking for a present that is more than a toy that will take up space and instead is developmentally appropriate, consider giving a mirrored toy. You'll find that mirrored toys will have your baby gazing contentedly at her reflection or giggling wildly at the infant staring back at her.

One of my favorite mirrored toys is the Baby-Ville Roly-Poly Cone Mirror put out by Manhattan Toy. What I like about this particular toy is that works very well during tummy time. Some babies just do not tolerate tummy time well, and the cone-shape of this mirror lends itself well to floor time. Additionally, on the sides of the cone are 6 different baby photographs which focus on different facial expressions.

A gift that parents might appreciate just as much as the infant will is a well-designed play gym. These mats create a safe playing surface that will entertain your baby as she uses her skills to reach for dangling objects or practice baby-push ups . While your baby is entertained, you might find a few stolen moments to get those last minute things done.

One play gym which is particularly well-reviewed is the Fisher-Price 1 2 3 Rainforest Musical Play Gym. This play mat incorporates materials of different material textures, several hanging toys, and lights and sounds to stimulate your baby. It's a toy that also will be used for several months as it can be used for back lying, tummy time, or sitting up.

More tummy time toys.

If you are looking for an entertaining toy that might be a little gentler on the waller, take a look at smaller, moving toys. Toys that can scootch across the floor or roll by your child's line of vision help develop visual tracking skills. By 3 months objects are no longer a distant blur, and babies can focus and track objects with their eyes. This makes moving toys both fun and educational for babies. Though younger babies will need someone to help play with them, they are worth every penny.

A delightful example of a moving toy perfect for babies is the Plan Toys Roller. This simple design may seem plain, but it certainly does the job of activating your baby's senses. It also serves a colorful, rattling toy as well.

A simple and practical gift for babies who are beginning to master grasping skills are rattles and teethers. These hand-toys enhance fine motor skills and body reflexes.

Both of my daughter's loved their First Years Massaging Action Teether. When they chomped down on one of the tips of the star, their little gums were massaged. Not only was this toy extremely helpful during the misery of teething, but also when they were between cutting teeth. The oral stimulation met one of their sensory needs and the attached rattle on the opposite end was music to their little ears as well.

Toys that are made to entertain babies through more than one of the senses are also ideal presents. When purchasing toys, you might want to ask yourself if the toy is visually appealling, incorporates different textures for touching and for chewing, makes interesting sounds, and can be easily grasped by the baby. These toys may turn out to be the ones that are most fascinating to babies.

Alex Toys Tug Fish is a perfect example of toys that feed in to babies' developing senses. What's more - it's a toy that will entertain them throughout the first year and possibly into the second.

Mornin' all.
Nice picking and racing yesterday Dave, and congrats on the AG win!
Congrats to you too, Starr, for your OA and AG win, and especially on beating your goal time for the run. Thanks for the family history too - fascinating.
A big congrats to Mariposai for the huge course PR! Even with your different race strategy, you smoked the course. Dinner didn't sound too shabby either...
Sorry about your less than satisfying run yesterday, Leslie. I hope it was just an off day, and not a sign that you are coming down with something, but it is still smart of you to be attentive to that possibility.
Yesterday's Fox Point 8K was a 5pm race, which is tough on we morning people. I got there early to spend some time working at our Seacoast Series table, but still left myself about 25 minutes to warm up. It was about 75F, partly sunny, quite breezy, and there were some storm clouds on the horizon. I got a decent start, but still tried not to go out too fast, as I often do. Lots of runners passed me in the first mile. A volunteer yelled out 10:18 as I passed the 1st mile mark. Fewer runners passed in mile 2, and I was starting to gain some ground on a few who had passed me earlier. Another volunteer yelled out 20:35 as I passed mile 2. I started passing some runners in mile 3, and a volunteer at 5K yelled 32:15 as I passed by. I had a few more runners I wanted to try to pick off before the end of the race, and found if I used more hip rotation and lengthened my stride just a scooch, I made up ground just a little faster. I was getting pretty warm, and poured half of my cup of water at the last water stop over my head to try to cool down a bit. The race has an uphill to the finish, so I just leaned into it a bit, shortened my stride and tried to increase my turnover rate, even on the incline. My official time was 52:35 (10:32 pace), which was good enough on that day for 1st place in the racewalking div. I got $50 and a nice bag for my effort. Then I came home to a great dinner that DW had prepared: soft-shell lobster, local corn, and a colorful & tasty salad. It was a nice way to finish off the day.
Enjoy! - Jay
Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos.
Congrats on your 1st place, Jay. That is an incredible time, good for you. I'm sure you had fun picking off those runners. It is tough to run at a different time than normal.
Leslie, sorry you had such a carpy long run yesterday. Some days are like that for me too. Did your pastor have a chance to visit with the shirtless dancer? Nancy, congrats to you on a course PR. What a beautiful lake! (I looked up pictures of it).
Rhoon Phast, I'm glad you maintain that plane and let the bicycle repairs slide. Hope you get that moose in the freezer before winter.
Just for grins I looked for a picture of me running my first 10K 7 years ago. I had forgotton that it was raining! This is in the last mile before heading downtown. I have now idea who the old geezer is in the background!
Good running all. I plan to go out later today since I don't have time to run before church this morning. Good luck in your 25K MikeE, what a gorgeous Minnesota day you have for the race.
Starr in SW MN
...Sweet jay//............AND you got to Sleep In
Nice Racing starr/////
......24min trailrun CA............50's here, seemed colder.
taking it easy
since several parts of TheLeg seemed to be inflamed.
..............good running guys
..nothing takes the place of persistence.....
I'm still on the injured list.
I haven't ran or biked all week. My hip is getting worse by the day. I have a hematoma that isn't getting any smaller and it's putting pressure on a nerve and muscles.
This last week at work has been terrible on it. Up and down a 3 story set of stairs all day every day, crawling over things, awkward positions and on my feet all day. Hasn't quite been the rest I need to give it.
Nice racing Jay. Picking off the runners is great.
Slo - You had some sort of bicycle crash? I can't remember exactly what happened.
Congratulations on the marathon course PR Posai. The way the people here click off marathons and beyond are amazing.
I ran an easy 2 miles this morning. In a few minutes I am heading to the airport for a trip to the WV office where I'll be working this week. It's like a mini-vacation for me. No cooking, cleaning, dishes, yardwork, or cats waking me up, for a whole 5 days! I just go to work when I want, leave when I want, and there are no non-work distractions or interruptions.
I plan to run a few more miles this evening along the Kanawha River.
And so it goes
Congrats Jay, Dave and Mariposi!
(((((Slo))))-Hope its not serious and you heal well and quickly.
I'm also on the injured list. My attempt at running last week was premature and I'm again walking, cycling and swimming (this coming week, I hope).
This morning while Marj did her long run on the Charles I cycled and brought her some much needed pretzels for a mid run snack. Did some nice rides yesterday and today. This afternoon we're heading to the bike shop to look for a new bike to add to my collection. I'd like to be running but it looks like it'll be a few more weeks of rehab. (Ribs was right. I "healed too quickly" for an old guy).
Good Morning Everyone! Today is a good day!
Yesterday my daughter and I ran the Dragon Fly 5K right here in my Home town of Antioch Ca. This was my 13 yr old daughter Cassie's first race and my first since my ankle injury in April. The race was held at the Contra Loma / Black Diamond regional park and is known as a dry very hilly course with no shade. The run consisted of a 5K, 10K and 1/2 marathon. I had originally signed up for the 10K back in April but I changed my registration to the 5K in light of my recent injury.
I wasnt sure if my decision to go ahead with this run was a good one, especially when during the pre race activities walking around on the un even ground was making my ankle feel like it wanted to roll I justified my decision by telling myself its ok, you can walk the whole thing, just be careful! (Yeah right) So just prior to the race beginning I spent some time with Cassie telling her about what to be aware of, to watch her footing, try to create gaps around her until the initial crowd thinned out, and to have fun!
With the full intention of walking the whole race I moved to the back of the crowd......The gun goes off..... and off I go!..... running! not fast but running none the less. It felt good!!!! I wasnt running fast, I was very careful and deliberate about where my feet landed but in spite of my surgeons warnings that running was no longer in my future here I was!
I found I was able to run up some of the hills initially but my fitness isnt what it was, so walking up them became the norm for me. So in the end I ran all the flat stuff and walked up and down the hills, although my ankle hurt a little upon starting, it never got any worse during the run and in fact felt a little better as I warmed up.Upon crossing the finish the announcer Sam from Brazen racing who knew my story Says ...here comes Jim from Antioch proving the Doctors wrong congratulations Jim! That felt really good! and having my daughter waiting at the finish with a big hug for Dad was the best I could ask for.Cassie did very well she finished the 3.25 mile course in 43 minutes. and is already asking when we can do it again!
Slo - You had some sort of bicycle crash? I can't remember exactly what happened.
Yeah I had a bicycle crash one week ago yesterday. Some people cross paths with a black cat...In my case our paths met !
Jay--10:32 pace is blazing! Congrats.
Slo—hang in there. Take the time to heal properly.
Dave—a work vacation, eh?
Henry—see Slo above.
Jim--nice pics! Looks like a great day.
Speaking of great days....what a gorgeous early autumn morning! 13-miler for me, enjoying the cooler temps and lower humidity.
I'm taking on a bunch of new work this Fall. It's all good but it means much less time to check in here. Heck it's even meant a few missed runs. Part of me is thinking of signing up for Boston to motivate me to train; part of me is concerned I won't be able to take the time off to run it! Decisions, decisions.
Gotta go skim some threads now.

Tramps...I can attest to the benefit of having a race on the calendar to motivate me to get out there and put in the miles. Still working on planning what this winter's marathon will be, but I've got to get one on the board.

Starr, pretty good practice 10K, beating your goal. Also, nice pictures of your first 10K. mari, congrats on your marathon with 15 minute course PR. Jay, speedy 8K and 1st OA racewalker. Slo, sorry to hear your hip is still not good. Good luck on it healing soon. henrun, it's neat you're able to bike, walk and swim while waiting to get back to running. Jim, nice pictures of you and your daughter in your 5K. You sure did well considering what the doctor told you.
Nice long runs for evan, fatozzig (a tough one), and marj.
This morning, it was in the high 40s and calm. I got in 3 miles at a 10:21 pace.
A good day and good runs for all.
Tramps...I can attest to the benefit of having a race on the calendar to motivate me to get out there and put in the miles. Still working on planning what this winter's marathon will be, but I've got to get one on the board.
Exactly what I was thinking. Having a race to train for keeps me going. I am one of those who are lost without a race training plan...
JimL, what a great first race for your DD. She looks great on the pictures. The finisher picture of the two of you is priceless. So, when are you guys running your next race?
Tramps, having a pile of work is a good problem to have! So, what is my idol tribee training for?
Dave, congrats once again on that AG win!
Jay, any lobster left over? You are one fast race walker, a 10:32 pace is .
Henrun, why are you back on the injury list?
Slo-Hand, is the hematoma on your hip? Take care! and do post here when able. We miss you when you don't.
Holly, no pictures of the dress up party?
Tamster, I wanted to mention about the great pictures you posted of your son! What a handsome young man his is becoming.
Any posting from Spareribs? I was thinking of the family during the memorial service yesterday.
Thanks for your kind comments on my marathon yesterday. Yes, Erika, you will enjoy this course, but it is the Sunflower Mt. marathon that I want to run with you . Results are up, I came in 8/13AG (funny, I was the oldest racer in my age group ). 22/47 OA.
Well, I am hoping that we will not have a twocat sighting around here today and that I would be safe to post my easy like a snail 4 recovery miles this morning. If he shows up, I am dead meat...so...sshhhh.
Now it is time to put another batch of marinera sauce on the stove. Got to love a bumper crop of fresh produce from the garden.
"Champions are everywhere; all you need is to train them properly..." ~Arthur Lydiard
Nice racing, Jay!
Slo, hope you heal up soon. Sounds painful!
Jim, congrats on racing with your DD and on proving the doctors wrong! So happy to hear you're running again!
Today I got an email that the official race photos are posted for the American Discovery Trail Marathon - the one I posted last week was a free one taken by a volunteer from Pikes Peak Road Runners... well, the official ones, that you have to pay $30 for, are nowhere near as good. (I didn't pay for this one - just did a screen shot from the website...) So just to prove that not all my finish line photos are good:
I look tired in this one, but I think it's funny because there's a guy with a stroller who's apparently staring at my butt...
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
"We are going to relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we will not catch it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly chase it, because in the process we will catch excellence. I am not remotely interested in just being good." Vince Lombardi
Jim, wow, what a great day indeed!
SLO, sorry to hear that things are rough right now.
Wildchild, ummmm, exactly what is bad about that photo?
I must have picked up Leslie's funk, because I had a really carpy run. I was planning on 8, maybe even 10 miles (I was going to treat myself to a big burrito if I did 10 miles). 8 should have been no problem. Around 5 miles however, I had to walk. I was just sweating too too much for a relatively cool and windy day, and feeling weak and zapped of energy all over. I think maybe poor eating yesterday, a poor sleep and a very bad breakfast choice (piece of chocolate cake), made me a bit hypoglycemic when I went to run later in the morning. Took me awhile to recover in the car before I drove home. Plus I've just been waking up really sweaty for about the past 3 weeks, so I think I should get my thyroid levels checked. I may be taking too much of the hormone right now.
So, 6.34 miles, but most of the last mile was walking.
"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."

Amherst finished the regular season at 22-1 overall and a perfect 9-0 in conference play and clinched its first NESCAC regular-season title since 2003 with Saturday's lopsided 94-61 victory at Tufts. The win was Amherst's 15th straight, tying a school record.
Amherst is 10-2 all-time in NESCAC Tournament play, winning consecutive postseason championships in 2001 and 2002 before falling to Williams in both the 2003 and 2004 title games. The Jeffs have had similar success recently in NCAA Tournament play, advancing to the NCAA second round in 2000 and 2001, the round of 16 in 2002, the national quarterfinals in 2003 and the college's first-ever trip to the NCAA Final Four last season.
Elsewhere in NESCAC Tournament action, second-seeded Tufts hosts seventh-seeded Colby, third-seeded Bates welcomes No. 6 seed Williams and fifth-seeded Wesleyan travels to fourth-seeded Trinity. If Amherst prevails against Bowdoin, it will host the semifinals and finals on Saturday and Sunday, February 26-27, with an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament at stake.

Derek Fisher was fired as head coach of the New York Knicks on Monday. One of the first thoughts in many fans' heads after hearing the not-so-shocking news centered around how Matt Barnes might react to hear the news of Fisher's firing. Matt Barnes did respond on Instagram within an hour of hearing the news, but it wasn't nearly as explosive or epic as anyone would have expected from the Memphis Grizzlies forward.
The New York Daily News claimed Matt Barnes' Instagram response to Derek Fisher's firing was "cold-blooded." It's just not clear what was "cold-blooded" about posting a picture of himself on Instagram. Is it the look on Matt Barnes face? Or maybe it was the lack of a caption on the photo. More likely, Barnes response via social media was puzzling. Many fans thought Matt Barnes might be singing and dancing after hearing the news that his biggest enemy just lost his job. Then again, maybe he was singing and dancing but opted for a more subtle response in public.
Barnes was accused of throwing shade by TMZ. They thought Matt Barnes Instagram photo was a simple act of trolling Derek Fisher. How so, though? Fisher was not tagged in the picture nor was the caption directed at Derek Fisher or the now open head coaching position for the New York Knicks.
Matt Barnes may be reveling in the news that Derek Fisher was fired, though. Barnes and Fisher used to be teammates. As a matter of fact, they were such good friends that Matt Barnes' kids called Derek Fisher "Uncle Derek."
Now, the Memphis Grizzlies forward reportedly hates Derek Fisher with a passion and he's made that very clear. Barnes and Fisher have been bitter enemies since last October, when Barnes caught Fisher at the home of his estranged wife Gloria Govan. One of Matt Barnes' sons called him and told him "Uncle Derek" was at their house. The news made Barnes so angry that he left basketball practice and drove to Govan's home to confront his former teammate and friend. Once Barnes arrived at Govan's home in Los Angeles, he confirmed that Derek Fisher was in her home and punched him in the mouth before fighting with the former New York Knicks head coach.

— The Source Magazine (@TheSource) February 8, 2016
Allegedly sleeping with your former friend and teammate's wife isn't punishable by the NBA, because Fisher avoided getting in trouble for having an alleged fling with Gloria Govan. Matt Barnes, on the other hand, was suspended for two games. Barnes was later fined $35k by the NBA when he commented on the situation, saying, "violence is never the answer, but sometimes it is."
Matt Barnes and Derek Fisher will likely never be friends again. After the incident and Barnes' punishment for punching Fisher, he said of his former friend, "Don't say nothing to me, I don't plan on saying nothing to him. Don't try to shake my hand. There's none of that. There's nothing there. There never will be. Just stay away from me basically."
As for Derek Fisher, he's kept quiet about the whole incident with Gloria Govan and Matt Barnes. The only time he ever publicly spoke about it was when Fisher called the police to report Barnes for hitting him. That was the reason Barnes referred to Fisher as a snitch, among other unpleasant names.
That is why Barnes' fans expected so much more from the Grizzlies player after hearing that Derek Fisher had been fired from the New York Knicks. Certainly, he should have plenty to say, right? Now, fans are left to wonder if Matt Barnes was banned from speaking about Derek Fisher anymore. One thing is for sure, that look on Barnes' face in the Instagram photo is worth a thousand words.

X-Factors: A Advanced park effects02/05/2014 10:00 AM ET
By Ashley Marshall / MiLB.com
In X-Factors, MiLB.com's Ashley Marshall offers a class-by-class examination of how Minor League venues affect the play on the field. Have something to say about how your favorite Minor League park plays? Tweet @MiLB and @AshMarshallMLB with your thoughts.
The three Class A Advanced leagues essentially span the entire Minor League run-scoring environment.
At one end of the spectrum is the Florida State League, a 12-team circuit where run rates and homer totals are consistently among the lowest in any domestic full-season league. At the other end is the California League, a hitters' haven where balls fly out of the yard. And somewhere in the middle is the Carolina League, where slugging and on-base numbers are closest to the Minor League average.
#ques_include {width:230px;float:right;margin-left:5px;} #ques_content {border-top:1px solid #000000;border-left:1px solid #000000;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-right:1px solid #000000;padding-left:5px;} .ques_schedule {margin-top:5px;font-size:11px;} .ques_dates {font-size:11px;font-style:italic;color:#999;}
Park factor statistics are league specific. So while it appears that teams like San Jose and Inland Empire play in extremely pitcher-friendly parks, they're only "extreme" in comparison to California League averages. In isolation, San Jose Municipal Stadium and San Manuel Stadium play small, but they look big compared with places like High Desert's Stater Bros. Stadium.
Similarly, there are few real launching pads in the Florida State League. Daytona's Jackie Robinson Ballpark seems like a terrible place to pitch when compared with the likes of Roger Dean Stadium, when it really isn't quite as easy to hit in as the isolated park factor data would suggest. That's why it's important to keep park factors within the context of the league.
Offensive stats by league, 2008-2013
((Runs scored at home + runs allowed at home)/(Home games)) / ((Runs scored on the road + runs allowed on the road)/(Road games))
View the entire 2013 park factors list, alphabetized by team »
Note: A park factor of 1.000 is considered neutral and represented an equal number of runs/homers/hits at home as on the road. A factor over 1.000 favors hitters, while a factor under 1.000 favors pitchers. A weighted average was added into the calculation to place a greater emphasis on more recent data to be more reflective of the most current makeup of each team and league and to ensure the statistics were not disproportionately skewed by extremes.
Florida State League: At a Glance
Generally speaking, the Florida State League is the place to pitch. No affiliated league has seen fewer runs per game (4.2) over the past six seasons and no full-season league has a lower home run rate (1.5 percent), slugging percentage (.372) or OPS (.698).
While teams like Daytona, St. Lucie and Bradenton play in some of the league's more hitter-friendly parks, facilities like Brevard County, Fort Myers and Jupiter/Palm Beach are much more reflective of the overall low-run environment.
Ryan coming up aces at Joker
After repeating the Midwest League in 2012, Kyle Ryan moved up to Lakeland in 2013 and had his most successful season since turning pro.
The 22-year-old left-hander tied for the league lead with 12 wins and ranked fourth in ERA (3.17), WHIP (1.19) and batting average against (.248).
"They say it's a pitchers' league, but it's also a league you have to mature in," Ryan said. "You have to learn to do things that you've never been able to do before, like pitch inside or throw one curveball in the zone then the next one out of the zone. That's the reason why it's a pitchers' league -- because you have to be smart.
"The weather conditions are a key component of the fields here, but each field is different."
Ryan went 3-2 with a 3.27 ERA in nine starts at Joker Marchant Stadium and 9-5 with a 3.11 mark in 15 contests on the road. Joker Marchant hosts the Tigers during Spring Training and, at 420 feet to center field, has similar dimensions to Detroit's Comerica Park. Ryan said playing his home games in a pitcher-friendly park gave him the confidence to challenge hitters in ways he hadn't before.
As someone who relies on pitching to contact, Ryan said he wasn't as hesitant to pitch inside or up at the letters. Even if he made a mistake with his location, there was still a chance the ball would stay in the yard.
"It's a huge advantage. I definitely was thinking of that before the season started," Ryan said. "I knew I'd be able to get away with some pitches. The atmosphere conditions are different here. The air is thinner in the north, but here it's more humid with thicker air. The ball flies more in the north.
"I have to have the defense behind me because I can't blow people away. I'm a high-80s, low-90s kind of guy with a changeup, a cutter and a curveball. I have to work with my defense and my defense has to work with me."
While the environment helped Ryan develop as a pitcher, there were still places he enjoyed pitching more than others. City Island, home to the Daytona Cubs, was a particularly hitter-friendly park. Located on the banks of the Halifax River and just one mile west of the Atlantic Ocean, fly balls carry as well there as any place in the league.
"The ball flies in Daytona," said Ryan, who yielded a two-run homer to Jorge Soler in his only start there. "It's on the coast and you have the wind that's constantly blowing out to left field, so if you have a righty hit even a pop fly it's going to go out.
"I pitched once or twice in Bradenton and left field is a bandbox, and I had some balls fly out of there. And the Blue Jays' place in Dunedin -- they have a short left-field fence, so if you can get the ball up, it's going to go. I've seen a few home runs go out to left field in St. Lucie even though it's a pretty big park and it's surrounded by trees. Brevard is a pitchers' park if you can get the ball up and in the air to left field. If a lefty hits one, pulls one to right field -- see ya, ball."
Two teams, one outcome
The Jupiter Hammerheads and Palm Beach Cardinals have shared Roger Dean Stadium since 2003. The Cardinals and Marlins play home games there each spring, and the park also hosts both organizations' Gulf Coast League affiliates.
Since 2010, the stadium has produced 426 total home runs in Florida State League games. Jupiter's 192 homers over that stretch are the fewest in the league, while Palm Beach is second-fewest with 234.
Jupiter and Palm Beach had the second- and third-lowest runs totals in the FSL, but the first- and fourth-best ERAs. Only Space Coast Stadium is considered a more pitcher-friendly park.
When you consider offensive numbers posted by Palm Beach's Jonathan Rodriguez (18 homers, .481 slugging percentage) in 2013 and Jupiter's Marcell Ozuna (24 homers, 95 RBIs) and Kyle Jensen (23 homers, .309 average) in 2012 and 2011, respectively, you get a new appreciation of how impressive their seasons were.
California League: At a Glance
The offensively charged Cal League offers a spike in runs, hits and homers and a corresponding rise in ERAs. It's generally good news for hitters and quite the opposite for hurlers, regardless of which park they play in.
If you're a ball hawk, head out to the area beyond the outfield wall at High Desert's Stater Bros. Stadium. Since 2010, there have been 843 home runs hit out of that park. That's the most in the Minors during that four-year span, and no team has seen a greater disparity between the number of homers hit in home and road (474) games. The difference of 369 (around 92 a season) is more than 100 greater than 140 of the other 141 domestic teams, from Triple-A to short-season.
Life in Lancaster
The Hanger is home to the Lancaster JetHawks and, as a hitter-friendly park in a hitter-friendly league, an outlier in the Astros system. Most of Houston's affiliates play their games in relatively neutral parks, but the ball flies in Lancaster, elevated more than 2,200 feet above sea level and set in a town where the average temperature is between 90-100 degrees over the final four months of the season.
"I think we consider every factor ... and obviously, the park plays a role in that," Astros director of pro scouting Kevin Goldstein said. "It doesn't need a really advanced understanding of analytics to know that a .290 batting average with 25 home runs means a very different thing for a player in Quad Cities than it does a player in Lancaster.
"We're still trying to look at the skills and separate the skills from the numbers, and you absolutely have to adjust for [leagues and environments]."
Four JetHawks hit above .300 this season. Matt Duffy (.323) ranked second in the league, Delino DeShields (.317) was third, M.P. Cokinos (.313) ranked fourth and Joe Sclafani (.302) placed seventh. Andrew Aplin was first overall with 107 RBIs and Nolan Fontana led the circuit with a .415 on-base percentage.
Though impressive offensive numbers are par for the course in the Cal League, Goldstein said pitchers stand to benefit the most from the environment.
"You look at guys like Luis Cruz and Brady Rogers, who pitched for us in Lancaster last year," he said. "You look at their stat lines and maybe think, 'That's not so good,' but if you consider where they were pitching and that their home games were in Lancaster and many of their road games were in some of the other high-octane environments in the south part of the California League, they had really good years.
"If a guy has the right mindset, it's a great place to learn how to pitch because there's no better place to learn that you have to keep the ball down in Lancaster. Every league has its strengths and weaknesses, and you just have to figure out what's the best thing you can learn here. In Lancaster, it's keeping the ball down. But it can also create some bad habits for guys -- hitters who maybe put a little too much loft in their swing and try to hunt for those cheap home runs. Next thing you know, they're in a more neutral park and all of a sudden they're all fly balls."
Cruz went 8-6 with a 5.16 ERA in 27 games, including 18 starts, but he struck out more than 10 batters per nine innings (129 in 113 1/3), had a 3-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio and held opponents to a career-best .253 average. Rodgers, meanwhile, went 10-8 but recorded a 5.38 ERA over 27 games (also 18 starts) as part of a piggybacking rotation. But Rodgers was actually 5-2 at home; on the road, he had a losing record (5-6), struck out fewer batters, allowed more homers and subsequently posted a 5.98 ERA.
"Numbers are important because it's how you measure production, but it's important to measure it in the right way," Goldstein said. "We make sure kids focus on baseball and not the stadium they're playing in and not trying to adjust their game to the stadium, because hopefully they won't be in that stadium forever. If they're doing the right thing, they'll keep moving up."
Relatively speaking
There were 78 homers hit in Inland Empire last year -- 36 by the host 66ers and 42 by their opponents over 70 games. Similarly, there were 88 long balls drilled out of Modesto's John Thurman Field -- 40 by the Nuts and 48 by their guests.
On the face of it, that appears pretty neutral. A little on the low side, maybe -- there were 98 homers at each full-season ballpark, on average in 2013 -- but certainly not outrageous. After all, 50 of the 120 full-season teams played their home games in ballparks that saw fewer than 88 homers. One-fourth (31) of the teams played in parks that yielded fewer than 78.
Then you put those numbers in the context of the California League, where the average was 132 homers per ballpark.
Players like the 66ers' Zach Borenstein (28 homers, 95 RBIs, .337 average) still put up big numbers because he played in a hitters' league, but remember he only hit seven long balls at home and had a slugging percentage 155 points higher on the road.
Carolina League: At a Glance
The Carolina League can be considered average among the three Class A Advanced circuits. The Cal League has higher run totals and homer rates, while the Florida State League offers similar batting averages but fewer runs.
Outside of Frederick, there are few extreme hitters' parks in the Carolina League. Since 2010, there have been a league-best 516 homers hit in Keys' home games, compared to a league-worst 307 long balls in their road games. Harry Grove Stadium saw the most homers of any park in the circuit in 2013, 2012 and 2010, and it ranked second behind Winston-Salem in 2011.
Wilmington's Frawley Stadium is the league's most pitcher-friendly park, despite not being excessively large -- it's 400 feet to center field and 325 down the lines.
A Dash in the pan?
Winston-Salem's BB&T Ballpark has been favorable to hitters for several years. In 2013, the ballpark saw 107 homers launched over its walls, more than every other locale in the league, except Frederick (125). It marked the third consecutive year that there were more than 100 homers hit at the Dash's home park.
The Dash led the league with 116 total homers, ranking first in total bases (1,890), doubles (281), runs scored (703) and RBIs (653).
Among the White Sox prospects to benefit the most was Carolina League MVP Chris Curley, who led the circuit with 24 homers, 92 RBIs and 251 total bases. How much of the production was real and how much was a reflection of the ballpark?
Curley hit 11 homers in 52 games across two levels in 2012 and three homers in 68 contests in 2010. He certainly was not considered a power-hitting prospect when the Braves signed him as a non-drafted free agent in 2009, and it was only once he got to Kannapolis that his power stroke began to materialize.
When you consider Curley's splits, a better picture emerges. In 68 home games, he batted .284 with 12 homers, 13 doubles and 50 RBIs. On the road, he hit .275 with 12 homers, 11 doubles and 42 RBIs, suggesting his production was more a result of underlying skills than taking advantage of a friendly home yard.
The complete pitcher picture?
The Potomac Nationals play in a slight hitters' park. Pfitzner Stadium has seen the third-most total homers in the league since 2013, so give credit to the entire P-Nats staff last season.
Potomac led the league with a collective 3.69 ERA en route to the best record in the circuit (84-55). It's not too often a team's pitching staff surrenders the most homers in the league (98) and still ranks first in ERA.
Blake Schwartz was one of the standouts on that team. He tied for first with 11 wins and ranked second in the league with a 2.65 ERA. His 1.08 WHIP was the best in the circuit, largely because of a league-best 1.76 walks per nine innings and .236 batting average against. So even though he allowed eight homers, runners were kept off base to minimize this damage.

Gigi Hadid was in Aspen this Christmas and, although she was laying low with her family, she still looked for a way to throw her fashion into the mix. During a stroll through the city, the Daily Mail was able to capture Gigi in a leopard print coat and some casual Timberland boots. Even when the Victoria's Secret angel is relaxing, it's clear that she's always aware of her appearance. However, is Hadid's brother trying to start a new trend, or is he trying to show that not all of Gigi's family is stylish? Gigi Hadid's brother was spotted with her in ripped jeans and a hooded jacket. Not only do you wonder, "Why is he wearing ripped jeans in freezing weather?" but also does he even realize what he's wearing and the impression that it gives? Hadid's brother may not be on the runway all the time, but he must know that he will have a few pictures taken when he's out with his sister. While in Aspen, Gigi was able to not only ski the slopes, but also spend time with her mother, who is battling Lyme disease. Hadid's mother seemed to be enjoying her time with her children in the snowy climate. It was probably a great distraction from regular life, as she has just recently separated from her husband.
Not only is Gigi spending quality time with her family, but she is getting attention from a special someone as well. According to Just Jared, Hadid posted a picture on her Instagram feed of Zayn Malik, a former One Direction band member. His face wasn't in the pictures and he wasn't tagged in the post, but the photo was proven to be Zayn when fans of One Direction recognized his tattoos. Rumors were sparked the day before when Zayn commented that Gigi was wearing one of his old shirts in another one of her pictures on social media. It seems that Gigi Hadid is getting the attention of a boy most teenagers can only dream of. Unfortunately, it looks as though Zayn could not be less thrilled to have the Victoria's Secret model on his arm. While leaving a hotel in New York City, the two were caught as Hadid took the lead and walked out with confidence and not a care in the world, while Zayn seemed depressed and sheepish. Could he simply be tired from the night before, or is he unsure about the brand new relationship he has gotten into with Gigi Hadid?
Now that the holidays are over, Gigi has a lot of work to do. Not only will she be continuing as a Victoria's Secret model, but she is also creating a line with Tommy Hilfiger. At first, Hilfiger was going to use Hadid as his world ambassador, but then changed his mind and decided he would rather collaborate with the model. The collection will be called Gigi by Tommy, adding a new flair to Hilfiger's numerous collections. The collection is Hadid's style and mainly her ideas. Hadid is extremely excited about the collection and has stated that she has always loved the Hilfiger collections and is honored to be able to work with him. Tommy Hilfiger is most likely working with Hadid to boost his publicity and add extra flair to his collections, as we are starting to hear less and less about his collections due to up and coming fashion artists. By working with Gigi, a new and rising star herself, Hilfiger will be able to use a bit of the attention Hadid is getting to put himself back in the public eye.

In its entire history, there has been very little time when the United States has been at peace. As it wages its many wars and 'interventions', the stated goal is always something few people could argue with: fostering democracy when a struggling people are resisting tyranny, removing threats to U.S. security, or punishing a cruel dictator for unspeakable misdeeds.
Yet on closer scrutiny, these reasons are seldom valid. They simply hide the true purposes of U.S. military involvement, which are power and wealth. Starting with the barbarous destruction of Native American culture in order to gain farmlands, right through to the Iraqi invasion for oil, money and power have always motivated U.S. foreign policy decisions.

Learning Debian GNU/Linux
by Bill McCarty
Publisher: O'Reilly 1999
