Quick Pic: Adam Lambert Loses, But His Outfit Is A Winner
In a major upset, Kris Allen beat out guyliner-wearing Adam Lambert in the "American Idol" finale last night. During his performance with KISS, Adam's fashion sense stole the show. His jacket featured weird cage-like shoulders that looked positively Lady Gaga-esque. [Los Angeles, 5/20/09]

Carbon markets and related international schemes that allow payments to landholders for planting trees, sometimes called carbon farming, are intended to support sequestration of carbon from the atmosphere.
But they will have harmful effects, such as degrading ecosystems and causing food supply problems, if other benefits and disbenefits from revegetating agricultural landscapes are not also taken into account in land-use decisions, according to an article published in the October issue of BioScience.
Brenda B. Lin of the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization and her colleagues assessed a variety of ways that people have attempted carbon farming.
Simple maximization of profit can lead landholders accessing carbon markets to create monoculture plantations, which do not support biodiversity and provide few environmental benefits to local inhabitants.
But alternatives such as planting strips of trees on farms, agroforestry-integrating trees into cropping systems-and revegetation of marginal or crop land can sequester carbon while also yielding a broad spectrum of environmental benefits.
These benefits may include, for example, reduced pollution outflow and erosion, and better wind protection, pest control, and pollination.
What is more, schemes that have local participation and buy-in are more likely to be successful over the long term, because they can draw on local knowledge about trees likely to thrive and will remain popular.
Lin and her colleagues urge organizers of carbon farming schemes to move beyond a carbon-only focus and consider cobenefits of revegetation, while involving local inhabitants, not just private landowners, in policy decisions.

Name: The Sheik
Year Inducted: 2011
You didn't have to see The Sheik in person to be scared to death of him. Just stroll to the magazine rack at local newsstand in the 1960s and 1970s, and chances are you'd find his piercing eyes locked in a satanic trance, the embodiment of pure evil. Next to his face, headline writers added terror to his countenance: "Wrestler With a Flame Thrower in His Fingertips!" "The Sheik: Mysterious as the Night." The Sheik was the perfect cover image to capture a sport.
"I loved the guy. He gave you a lot of great shots, with the facial expressions," said long-time Wrestling World editor Lou Sahadi. "He was a 'good' bad guy, if there is such a thing. The fans loved to boo him. He really drew the emotions out of the fans. He was a great performer."
During a career that lasted almost 50 years, it's safe to say Edward Farhat, The Sheik, drew as much heat from fans around the world as any wrestler who's lived, whether it came from jabbing opponents with a broken pencil, hurling fire at them, or rolling his eyes and tongue as he tortured some poor soul.
"This guy started hardcore wrestling. He would stick you with a screwdriver. He threw fire," Bobby Heenan said. "Plus, he never spoke. He never did an interview. He never spoke a word of English. He terrified people. He didn't take bumps. He didn't have to take bumps. If he had taken bumps, he would have been just another guy." Even into the 1990s, when he was in his 60s, The Sheik could still lunge at a crowd and cause fans to scatter like cockroaches.
Farhat's parents emigrated from Syria to Michigan, where he was born in 1926. (The family was Lebanese but Lebanon did not become a separate country until 1943.) He joined the U.S. Army in 1944, and started training after the war with promoter Bert Ruby's Detroit office. With Farhat's vaguely foreign looks, Ruby started him out as The Sheik of Araby. Televised wrestling from Chicago popularized his act, which consisted of attendant Princess Salima — his wife Joyce — snakes, incense, and an endless delay in folding his elaborate turban.
Through the 1950s and early 1960s, The Sheik was a top draw just about everywhere he went. His matches emphasized violence and wild-eyed antics.
In 1964, The Sheik acquired the Detroit promotion from Jim Barnett and Johnny Doyle, put himself on top, and started a reign of fear along the Great Lakes. He took the U.S. title in Detroit and held it most of the time until his promotion shut its doors in 1980. Working with Toronto promoter Frank Tunney, The Sheik ran off a 127-match unbeaten string in Maple Leaf Gardens from 1964 to 1974. He guarded against fan attacks as he walked to the ring by keeping a razor blade in his fingers.
The Sheik continued wrestling through the 1980s — he was always a massive draw in Japan — and worked his final match in the U.S. in 1994. His health had deteriorated as he climbed into the ring for a ceremony in Japan one last time in 1998. He died in January 2002.

Uninvited Dinner Guests
Remember I mentioned that this year I was going to try my hand at gardening? Well, I've mainly been watching my boyfriend do the gardening, BUT I'm asking lots of questions and learning from him. I promise I'll plant something myself before the season is out! Well, he recently planted a little magnolia tree for me, but we've noticed the pretty purple flowers and green leaves have disappeared. Where did they go? Into a groundhog's belly! We caught a chubby woodchuck "in the act." Not once, but twice. There he was, balancing on his hind legs, reaching up to the branches, and eating everything green and flowery. You know all those groundhogs who frolic along the side of the Parkway? For years I would always admire them and comment how cute they are. After witnessing the freeloader in my backyard, now I declare "groundhogs are the enemy!" Okay, maybe I'm being a little over dramatic. They're still adorable and I'm not going to declare war. But I would like to know how you deal with uninvited guests in your yard. Any suggestions on keeping groundhogs, rabbits, and deer from dining on your plantings? Please share any tips in the Comments section below. Thanks!

LAKE ELSINORE ---- The Temescal Canyon football team went toe-to-toe with Heritage during a physical, scoreless first quarter, but Washington State-bound running back Jamal Morrow and the Patriots defense proved too difficult for the Titans to handle.
Morrow rushed for 219 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 24 carries to lead Heritage to a 24-7 victory over Temescal Canyon in Sunbelt League play Friday night.
"Coach did a great job of preparing us this week," said Morrow, who finished with 251 total yards. "We knew it was going to be a physical game. Our defense just stepped up."
Morrow capped his night with a 60-yard interception return late in the fourth quarter, the fifth turnover Heritage forced. The Patriots held the Titans (3-4, 1-1) and their triple-option offense to 242 yards.
"The defense ran to the football tonight," Heritage coach Kraig Broach said. "As we talked before going in, it was very important to play assignment football. Temescal puts you to task. We were able to make enough stops there to keep things going in our favor."
Tied 7-7 in the second quarter, Heritage took the lead for good when Jacori Pace intercepted a pass and returned it 15 yards for a touchdown. The interception came just three plays after Temescal's Marcus Kirkpatrick picked off a pass at the Titans 9-yard line to stall a Heritage scoring threat.
Cornerback Darius Allensworth, a University of California commit, also intercepted a pass for Heritage, which recovered two fumbles.
The only time Temescal Canyon sustained an offensive drive came on a seven-play, 75-yard scoring drive that Dawson Lindeman capped with a 4-yard touchdown run to tie the game in the second quarter. Lindeman finished with 91 rushing yards.
"They are a very complete team," Temescal Canyon coach Mike Sands Sr. said. "We couldn't get outside on them. We couldn't run inside. We're trying to find something that worked, it wouldn't work and they'd shut it down. It was a tough night for us."
Morrow's 61-yard scoring run on the second play from scrimmage in the second half gave the Patriots a 21-7 lead.
Temescal forced Heritage to punt on its first two possessions of the game and seemed poised to take the lead when it reached the Patriots 17-yard line late in the first quarter. Sands opted to go for it on fourth down rather than attempt a 36-yard field goal, but a run play to Kirkpatrick fell short.
"We just can't put together a full game," Sands said. "I don't have my finger on that. I don't know what it is. The kids play hard. They give 100 percent."

Gallery: Railroad safety in City of Industry
INDUSTRY - Train conductor Russ Avery never thought he'd feel the way he did when he collided with a commercial big rig that stopped on the Fairway Drive crossing last week.
"The impact was so hard, I couldn't believe it," the 10-year Union Pacific Railroad train operator said. "It was kind of terrifying."
It was the first time Avery had ever crashed into a vehicle, the driver of which escaped unharmed.
"I don't get it. Why don't people understand?" Avery asked. "I've been caught by trains and it sucks, but it's not worth your life."
As part of its UP CARES (Union Pacific Crossing Accident Reduction Education and Safety) public safety initiative, the railroad franchise on Friday gave an insider's look at locomotives and what its engineers go through on a typical day to avoid accidents.
"We want to educate the public through enforcement," Union Pacific Railroad Officer Jorge Villaescusa said.
Union Pacific choo-chooed a 400,000-pound freight locomotive across its tracks and through the crossings during the afternoon rush-hour to emphasize the need of increasing railroad safety education.
The safety train made runs through several railroad crossings in the area, including Fairway and Nogales, the latter being the highest impact area of all of Union Pacific's 1,328 crossings from here to San Luis Obispo.
"At Nogales, there's a lot of gridlock on the tracks," Villaescusa said. "They can't move forward because of the crossing stick. They can't move back because they're going to hit the car. They get stuck. They're going to get hit."
In 2011, a 47-year-old man who got stuck at the railroad cross at Nogales and Railroad Streets escaped from his vehicle before the train totaled his car. Another car was badly damaged in 2010 after the driver stopped on the tracks. That year, a man died after driving around the crossing arms and into the path of a Metrolink train.
That same week, Union Pacific Police officers issued 153 citations to drivers and pedestrians who violated railroad crossing signals in response to a man who was hit by a train while listening to headphones.
"(Accidents) happen every day, like 10 times a day," Avery said of the train's service area.
Last year, Union Pacific trains, which have a 20-foot blind spot in front of them, hit 17 people walking by the tracks, said Kevin Anderson, Union Pacific's manager of operating practices.
Another 10 cars were hit on the grade crossings, Anderson said.
Still, according to officials, Union Pacific since 2001 has reduced grade crossing accident rates by 37 percent.
Avery's accident last week is what motivated him to begin participating in the program.
"If one person learns and doesn't die, then it's worth it," he said.

>Racing>Sub 2:00 Half Marathon thread
Super B****
Wow, I haven't checked in all week... my knee was misbehaving (hello again, ITBS, I haven't missed you), and I was aggravated about whether I'd be able to race the 10K at all! Anyway.
Wolf -- that sounds like a lovely day to me... run, run, and then run some more! Of course, my bones might feel differently, so I can't do that, but still. It does sound perfect.
npaden -- congrats on the HR!! Personally, I'd exceed that just walking, but that's why I don't train by HR... I'd never get up any semi-decent speed if I did.
miele -- just because my WATCH says 1:23:45 doesn't mean that would be my official time! Anyway, I have my Garmin display set to four data fields, so once I cross the hour mark, I can't see the seconds. Ah well.
Jan -- an entire year without coherent thought?!... oh, wait, I do that all the time. Hope it's a great year for you, either way!
Two Foot -- I'm most likely going to volunteer at that race (I'd run it, but three races in three weeks is just asking for trouble); say hi if I do!
me -- so, yeah... I would say the 10K was a success. I have a RR (link below), but the short version is that I set a 2:06 PR and finished in 48:16, third female OA. And my ITB really hates me now, and I can't exactly walk normally. And then I went to the beach for a few hours because I am so pale I can frighten small children.
chasing 5:59
because i never shut up ... i blog
Bluerun- You've had some good races lately! Congratulations!
Edith- I love the contrast between how tired and sore you are and how you can't wait to do it again next year. Sounds fun!
miele- Good luck with the speedwork! Glad you enjoyed the group run. My local group has an "all paces social" run that I try to catch every week that I can. I think I'm mostly a solo runner at heart, though.
Wolfwalker- Glad you got a better run in. And cooler temperatures are coming!
npaden- Congrats on getting your goal on your local route! It's always nice to have yardsticks like that to measure progress.
Tara- Glad your training has been going well and good luck!
Jan- Have a great first day of school! We have kids back the Tuesday after labor day, so our first "official" day back is tomorrow. I am already drowning in meetings, though! That is great that you love your grade assignment and your teaching partners, that's a good way to go into the year.
me- Got my LR up to 10 last week. It was a really nice run the whole way, even though the second half was in the dark. This gives me confidence that if you have the base to support the distance that the LR itself will fall into place. So I'm actually right about where I was 3 months out from my first half, only this time I don't plan to ramp up the miles like I did last time. I just need to quiet the nagging doubts that ask me how I can expect to PR on less training. After all, I'm pretty sure I had the cardio to run faster than 1:56:00 last time. I just didn't have the legs left to do the running.
miele - sounds like your training is going well.
jan - you know deep down inside you love those kids and especially their parents! I just dropped my 6 year old off for his first day of 1st grade this morning! I'm sure his teacher is going to love him!
blue - congrats on the 10K PR!! Even more impressive with some of the nagging injuries you've been having.
zelanie - sounds like things are going well for you too. Remember to keep the easy runs easy, most of us aren't like wolfwalker and can set PR's in training without injuring ourselves.
me - Pretty good week last week, 44.8 miles for the week and 1,500.1 miles for the year which was my goal at the beginning of the year. I've changed it to see if I can get to 2,000 miles by the end of the year, it should be doable, but I've got a lot of other things on the agenda this fall, mainly hunting so I'll still get the miles and exercise in, either way, but there will be a few weeks with very limited running to get toward the 2,000 mark. Since I'm this close I'm going to try to hit it for sure. Also keeping my 100+ mile month streak going. August is 17th month in a row now that I've run at least 100 miles. Seems like I'm making a breakthrough on my low HR running. August 24th last year I ran 6.1 miles in 10:32 avg pace and 140 avg HR. Yesterday I ran the same route in a 9:30 avg pace and a 137 avg HR. Now I just need to run my goal 10K coming up in 3 weeks 45 seconds per mile faster than I did last year!
Age: 49 Weight: 202 Height: 6'3" (Goal weight 195)
Current PR's: Mara 3:14:36* (2017); HM 1:36:13 (2017); 10K 43:59 (2014); 5K 21:12 (2016)
Man, I had a busy week and too far behind to play long personals right now. Excellent races though for Blue and 2footshuffle. I love reading race reports. Miele and Nathan both having solid weeks back to back !
Zelanie, Nathan's comment made me laugh but got me thinking also what I did to stay injury free for awhile. I changed from a 5 day run week to a 4 day week which allows me to have only 1 backtoback run day. I like the feel of running one day and taking a day off etc.. I also have a serious stretching routine where I stretch each muscle for 1 minute at a time. I eat a heavy protein / carb meal almost immediately after a run as well. Lastly I went off the standard running plans and made my own plan by listening to my pains and gains. I think you are doing the same there. Good luck and stay grinding!! Maybe some of these things will keep you safe too. Can't wait to hear the race report coming soon
Nathan - Sweet milestones, and some strong goals there too. I think you have found your motivation again and are kicking some arse!
Me- just got back from a midnight run, 5.6miler. It was cloudy and sprinkling rain but still in the mid 80s ugh. The moon was peeking through the clouds giving a spooky look. It was refreshing. Last week I came out with 42.2 miles. I ran two 8 milers and two 13.1milers. I liked breaking up my long run into two half maras because I still feel kind of weak after that bad week of hill training. I got 1hr45mns38sec on the first hm and 1hr43mns39sec on the second one. I didn't try to do any sprinting or pushing it, just maintained around 8min mile average and even took some walking breaks for 10-15 seconds here and there. I ran two different routes and both felt pretty good. I think I will do something similar this week. Building up the miles to 45 though. so maybe a 13.1 and then a 15 miler or something... anyways, bedtime, Cya everyone!

back after some vacation time, lots to catch up to.
tara-welcome back from the Adirondacks. We were in Boston last week for a few days, loved it. We even went up Bunker Hill monument (294 steps), and I even did it twice. Good luck on your half, must be in taper mode now.
blue-great 10k, and a PR to boot.
me-knee if getting better, but still feel something when I twist it in karate class. Running is good, as it doesn't bother me anymore. Actually ran a 30k last week (my longest distance yet) in 2:54 and it was a "slower" pace, maybe 10-15 seconds slower than race pace. But it felt good. Have a 35k this weekend, then taper taper taper.

Jan- How'd the race go? Sorry you have to go back to school but......it could always be worse, as they say. You could still be with 2nd graders from hell.
2ft- Congrats on a great 5k! It's good to hear you're running well and have found the right shoes for you (I don't think they'll do away with the Glycerin but you never know when they'll 'improve' it so much that it doesn't work for you anymore). What happened to the marathon in England you were thinking about? Was it Sunderland? I can't remember. Maybe that was for next year. Anyway, my fall plans include the marathon in Dec. I'm hoping to achieve faster times in the 10k and HM through the marathon training. After this marathon, my final one (again), I'll concentrate on 10k and HM specific training.
blue- Congrats on a fantastic race! That pacing is perfection! Third overall is quite an achievement. Now play nice with your ITB and knee. They did well....
Zelanie- I got my 10 miler in, too! It's funny but even in the 'group' run I end up running by myself. It's a very small group with all levels and I guess we're all at different speed levels.
Nathan- I suspect you'll get your 2000 miles even with the hunting. You've made such huge gains in just a year. Amazing. (BTW, I managed to hit my paces in all my runs last week except I did run the LR a little fast. I was a little nervous about the paces for the first full week of speed/tempo/LR from the Hanson plan. Now I know I can do it.)
Wolfy- You've started school again, right? A midnight run sounds kinda cool except I'm usually snoozing by that time. I think there's a race somewhere around Sacramento that's run at night. I'd trip and bust my butt. I do that in broad daylight so it would be a given at night.
stever- I can't believe your marathon is so soon! It seems like you just started training. Glad the knee is better, at least while running. From your LR pace I'm guessing your goal is sub-4?
me- Just finished my 800s. My goal was 7:35 pace but I hit them at an average 7:28 with fairly consistent pacing. Total of 8 miles. Finished last week with 43.5 miles and hope to bump that up a little this week before a cutback next week. Trying to manage a case of shin splints (which I've never had before in my life) without cutting out runs but I know this could end up badly. Icing, rolling, massaging, etc. Tomorrow is a SRD which I will enjoy.
Every time I check-in everyone has great race reports and news.....
Blue - Congrats on the new PR! Loved reading the race report - how is the knee today? Sounds like you got a great day to race and pushed yourself -
Jan - Good luck returning to the classroom - I am in awe of teachers - anyone that can handle my kids (and lots of others) is amazing to me.....I loved 4th grade and my 4th grade teacher - my older is headed to 3rd and really excited.....my younger is headed to 1st and is really not! LOL - How did the race go??
Miele - Great workout - and packing almost 45 miles into a week to me seems unreal...sorry about the shin splints - is the other injury at bay ? I do hope so.....
Wolf - Ah to be young, at midnight I have already been asleep for many hours :-) - but it sounds like you are getting it done! Good for you -
Stever - Welcome to Boston! Or at least I hope you had a good visit - I've lived here now over 25 years - and can honestly say I love it - and think it's a great place to have a family and go for a run! Good luck with that last long run......
Zelanie - Sounds like you have built back up quickly after the injury - Are you following a training plan for your next half? I think I joined the group shortly after you ran your half.....were you injured prior to the race? Or did is sneak up on you during the race? It sounds like you have done everything right and are back to go after that PR -
And speaking of PRs - I snagged one myself this weekend. I was secretly gunning for this 10K as I had been feeling good the past few weeks and my intervals were strong. It was a decent course with only 3 significant hills (last one right at the finish - EGAD) - But I had a great race and finished in 43:27 - Only 3 more weeks until my half in Boston - so I'll hit a nice long run this weekend and then hopefully stay relatively healthy.....
Ready, go.
npaden- Nice job getting to your yearly goal. Your goal race is coming up soon!
Wolfwalker- Wow, you're getting that kind of mileage on only 4 days a week? Is that for scheduling reasons, or just what works best for you?
Stever- Glad the knee is feeling better. Good luck this weekend!
miele- So we both made our LR goal for the month. That's a bummer that you don't have a pace buddy in your group runs. There are a few people who are very close to my pace, but if they don't show then I sometimes end up going too fast or too slow. Hope the shins improve!
Tara- Congrats on the PR! Seems like the perfect amount of time to recover and then run your half. My training cycle for my half went really well, then I got some weird hip issue during my taper and hardly ran at all. The knee thing came on in a big way during my half. Since it was my first one and everybody always says that the last 3 miles suck, I just figured that's what it was. Only when I couldn't run in the weeks afterward did I realize that it was an injury. This time I'm not following a training plan at all. I'm just trying to carefully build my base based on how I feel, maybe still following the general philosophy of the Pfitz plan I used last time, but not getting stuck in getting a certain number.
me- Going out for my first post-injury track workout tomorrow. There's a group that meets weekly, and has been following a Daniels plan geared for the 10K that I am planning on running. I will go and give it a try. They will be running 3 x 1000 at T pace, 2 x 800 at I pace, and 4 x 200 at R pace, with what seems to me like very short recoveries. Yowza! But since the distance isn't really that much, I am going to give it a try. Luckily I looked up my paces on the Daniels calculator, because they are slower than what McMillan was saying!
npaden -- eh, what's 45 seconds a mile?! (The 10K I just ran was almost there... ha. It was 22 seconds a mile faster than the one I ran in October.)
Wolf -- you're just running four days a week? And still managing mileage in the 40s... whereas I'm barely hitting 30. Nice job!
stever -- good luck with the 30K.
miele -- ughhh, I'm sorry, shin splints suck! (Mine are actually behaving right now, which just figures... because if my knee hurts, the "something is in pain" thing is covered.)
Tara -- congrats on the PR!
Zelanie -- good luck with the track workout! I'm always too lazy to bother... the only "speed workouts" I do are occasional tempo runs. I really ought to change that.
me -- bad, bad ITB. I cut short my AlterG run on Monday because the reason it didn't hurt: I was running without bending my knee. This is not good, obviously. I'm seeing my PT tomorrow, so I'm not running until then (and am suitably homicidal). It feels okay now, I guess, except when going down stairs. I will be very upset if I can't run on Friday, though, because I absolutely hate birthdays (not all birthdays, just mine, really) and I need to be able to decrease the suckage of the day!!
Tara- I didn't know you were racing this weekend, too! Are you keeping secrets from us? Congrats on your PR!!! Such a good feeling..... You're going to have a great HM!
This injury might be a recurrence of the last injury. Who knows. It's not happy at all after yesterdays intervals.
Zelanie- How'd the track workout go? Hopefully well. I have to admit I have a love/hate relationship with intervals. I hate them before and during but love them after they're over. It's a great sense of accomplishment when I hit the paces and have a good, hard workout like that. I'm OK with not having a pace buddy at the group run. The leader of the run makes the rounds and chats with all of us at some point during the run. That's enough for me.
blue- Sorry you hate your birthday. Hopefully you can run and make it a happy-ish birthday. So I will wish you a Happy Birthday! (despite the fact that you hate them).
Edith- Don't you have a 5k coming up?
me- Well, the shin is pissed off. Now I have a secondary spot that's painful. I read up about taking time off from marathon training in the Hansons book and it said that 7-10 days off, although not ideal, is still possible if it's not in the 'strength' phase (which is later). And if it's possible to run to just cut out speed and maybe reduce volume. I'll see how I feel tomorrow. I have a 10k in about 10 days which I'll run but all easy runs till then. Oh well.
Hello Everyone!
I'm just "running" in to say hi while I have a minute. My 4th grade students are actually working quietly, which is hopefully a good sign for this year! I'll be back later for personals and to see what you've all been up to.
The race on Sunday was awesome. I swear they added some hills to the course - seems like all we did was go up and go down. The gravel parts of the course were in horrible condition - washboarding and bigs rocks sticking up everywhere. It was also really hot, which I'm ok with. My son nabbed a 7 min. PR, and DH and I got a 6 min. course PR. I was so excited to finish under 2 hrs. for this sucker!
At the start of mile 12 I got a horrible pain in my right side - I guess it was a side stitch. It's still a little sore today. I didn't stop, but my hubby said I had tears running down my face and I was talking to myself. I'm sure those running close to me enjoyed the show. This stitch thing is starting to get me down. It's happened in 2 out of my last 3 races, and I certainly wasn't pushing the pace on Sunday. Our finish time of 1:59:50 was quite a ways off from our PR of 1:53:35, and I had no problems during the PR race. Dr. Google has suggested various things, and all of them make sense, but I'm not sure that any of them are to blame. Oh well, I finished upright.
PR's: 5k - 23:33/ 10k - 48:30/ 5 mi. - 39:21/ 13.1 - 1:53/ 26.2 recent - 4:34
Upcoming races: Resolution Run HM 1/1/13
Phoenix R&R HM 1/20/13
If you ask
Back to school/work busy time!!!
I finally had a bit of time to check in to read all the updates.
I've been running, not consistently, as I've been busy. Tonight is my 5K (Miele, how DO you remember these things?) It's raining here so I am doubly not wanting to venture out. After the Half Wit, it took some time for my foot to heal, but I did get some decent runs in, including speed work. Last Saturday I ran 14 miles and felt fine. Nothing challenging. I have the half marathon next weekend (9/7) so that should be cool. It's a very hilly course (consistently up and down...sounds a bit like Jan's half), I'm not gunning for a time, just hope to naturally finish around the 2 hour mark. I may not run the half the following weekend bc my bro was able to get a bib for this first half so I'm not sure that I'm up for going into the city alone on a Sunday morning.
Anyway, once things settle. I will be back for personal comments and much more details of my running experiences. Remind me to tell you about running on a hot day last week, at 90 degrees, and the local Dominos Pizza denying to fill my bro's water bottle....
Bluerun- Man, you can't catch a break, can you? Sorry you're struggling.
miele- Hopefully the easy runs do the trick.
Jan- Good news about your class for this year! Congrats on the course PR, and sorry you're dealing with side stitches! Hopefully you're able to get to the bottom of it.
Edith- Hope you had a great 5K today! Good luck next week!
I modified my track workout following some advice in one of my groups. I just ran 2 x 1000, 1 x 800, and 2 x 200. I added extra jogging in place of the skipped intervals for much more recovery than was built in as well. So, the 800 sucked, but the rest of the workout wasn't too bad at all. Plus somebody I know from the social run who also hasn't done a lot of speedwork ran with me and also did the shortened version. We are very closely matched in pace (except she kicks my butt on hills), so it was a good run.
Just a quick pop in to brag about my interval workout this morning! I was a hammer and I nailed it!
6 X 800m intervals with 400m recoveries.
Shooting to run them at a 7:00 pace and my avg pace for the 800's was 6:54! Never felt like I was having to "race" them, although I ran the last one at a 6:40 pace and my HR did get up there a bit on it.
Still don't know if this is going to correlate into a 7:15 pace 10K in two weeks, but at least I'm hitting my paces on the workouts now.
Jan- Congrats to you and the whole family for running such a great race! Sorry to hear about the side stitch. I never understood what brings those on but I read a thread over on RWOL a while back about how to deal with it. Maybe it will work for you. I've used the technique a few times and I definitely feel relief. You try and blow out all of the air in your lungs. Every last bit. Like you're blowing out a bunch of birthday candles. Really push to get the air out. Now, this is not easy while you're gasping for air in the first place but, like I said, it's worth a try. I hope it helps. And, who knows, maybe you've found the right grade to teach? Here's hoping to a calm, non-stressful school year.
Edith- How was the 5K? And Domino's wouldn't fill your bro's water bottle?!?! What the hell!?!?! I'm officially boycotting Domino's in solidarity with your brother. (that won't hurt their business at all since I never eat Domino's, but still.)
Zelanie- Good call in modifying your first speed workout after the injury. Sounds like you did great! My easy running seems to be going well except I didn't stick with that plan (what is wrong with me?).
Nathan- Way to go on those intervals! Holy smokes. That's an interesting question: if I can run 800s at x speed what does that translate into for a 10k. Now I'm curious about that and since I have a 10k on Sunday, I'll have a chance to figure that out. For me, at least. My 800s were @ 7:28 so we'll see what happens at the race.
me- My leg seems to be getting better (knock on wood). I've been icing like crazy, massaging, rolling, doing strength exercises. That plus the KT and compression sock seem to be helping. I did run the tempo last week but I justified doing that because it's a much slower 'tempo' pace than the normal tempo pace. My leg wasn't too mad at me afterwards so it's all good. Since I have a race in a week, I'll make it a cutback week. Happy Labor Day!

Kitchee coup - local heroes humble Juve
Kitchee striker Keith Gumbs stole the show from his famous opposite number as the unheralded local club beat Italian champions Juventus 5-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw at the end of 90 minutes during last night's enthralling Grand Promenade Cup.
Just when Juventus thought they had done just enough to win, Gumbs popped up with a brace of goals to send the match to a penalty shootout at Hong Kong Stadium.
It was a performance that outshone that of Italian superstar striker Alessandro Del Piero and one the former Happy Valley striker will remember for the rest of his life.
Not only did Gumbs score both of Kitchee's goals, he was also successful from the penalty spot as the recently crowned Italian Serie A champions were humbled in the second match of their Asian tour.
Juventus had defeated Yokohama F-Marinos on Wednesday, but the Italians were pegged back at 2-2 after leading 2-0 at half-time.
Kitchee were on target with all five spot-kicks, while Juve defender Alessandro Birindelli slammed his effort sail over the bar. Former China captain Fan Zhiyi, a guest player for Kitchee, sealed victory for the locals by scoring Kitchee's fifth penalty.
But the real hero was Gumbs, who was delighted to have played and scored against 'one of the world's greatest clubs'.
'To play against Juventus was a dream. To score against them was a bonus,' said Gumbs. 'I dreamt about this match for a long time. I couldn't even sleep last night thinking about it. It was the biggest match of my career. No words can describe how I feel right now,' he said.
Juventus coach Fabio Capello said his team deserved more from the game, adding his charges were unlucky in the penalty shootout.
'I'm disappointed with the final result. I think Juventus were the real winners on the pitch, but we didn't get the result in the end.
'Kitchee's goalkeeper [Xiao Guoji] should have been sent off, but it was an exhibition game,' said Capello, referring to a first-half incident when Xiao tripped Juve midfielder Olivier Kapo on the edge of the area, but was only cautioned.
'Even though we have lost, this is good for football,' said Capello 'We will prepare for our next match [against FC Tokyo] with the same intensity.
'Hopefully, we will get a better result,' said the Italian coach.
Del Piero showed his class when he scored the opening goal in the 20th minute after chasing down a long ball played from well inside Juventus's half.
The Italian marksman beat the offside trap before smashing a left-footed drive that flew into the top of the net.
He turned provider in the 43rd minute when he floated a lovely ball across on the right to Nedved whose strike first struck the ground before looping over the head of Xiao.
Kitchee pulled a goal back six minutes after the interval thanks to Gumbs's close-range header from a Clodoaldo de Oliveira free kick.
The local side's defence held firm despite a Juventus onslaught late in the second half with Fan taking the captain's arm-band from Fung Ka-ki in the 66th minute and doing a commendable job in the heart of Kitchee's defence.
The ever-dangerous Nedved had two clear-cut chances to add to his tally but was denied by a resolute Kitchee defence before Gumbs struck again, beating substitute goalkeeper Landry Bonnefoi with a stunning lob from 15 metres.

NASA wants to hear from contractors and other interested parties on how they would go about replacing the hangar's toxic siding — with cost estimates, said Ames director of center operations, Deb Feng. Past estimates have ranged from $15 million to $40 million, but Feng said she was sure it wasn't $15 million.
According to the "Request for Information" (RFI), released Monday, NASA wants to put new corrugated steel siding on Hangar One once the Navy removes the existing laminate siding, which contains PCBs and asbestos, next year.
The RFI says that "NASA's desire is to rehabilitate the hangar with new metal siding, restore the historic windows, install a new roof on the upper crown of the hangar and return the hangar to a state of usefulness."
While the RFI looks like a "promising" step forward, some of the hangar's most ardent preservationists were disappointed to see that NASA wants to use metal siding, said Lenny Siegel, board member of the Air and Space West Foundation. Siegel and his fellow board members have been working to preserve the hangar for years and are now working with the Smithsonian Institute to put an air and space museum inside.
A proposal for a teflon-fiberglass fabric siding was made in 2007 by architect Linda Ellis, wife of the Air and Space West Foundation's CEO Larry Ellis. Similar to what is used on the Shoreline Amphitheatre, it would be semi-translucent for natural lighting and have some cost savings over time, Ellis had said.
While the RFI is not asking for bids on the actual residing work, a request for proposals could be the next step. Chief among the reasons for the RFI, Feng said, was to identify the costs of re-skinning Hangar One so that NASA management could figure out how to move forward.
The request said that "to date, funding has not been identified for this rehabilitation effort," but Feng said NASA was looking at various sources, including the possibility of funding it internally along with a $10 million appropriation Congresswoman Anna Eshoo is seeking.
"Anna has been very supportive of it, so we feel that there is some way to get the funding," Feng said.
Very soon $1.2 million will be needed if NASA wants to preserve the hangar's unique corrugated windows, which would need to be carefully removed and the asbestos sealing putty cleaned off.
Feng said an RFI was not unusual for NASA projects, but said it was "more unusual" for its construction projects. Siegel said he'd wished that the Navy had sent out an request before moving on its now controversial plan to remove the siding and destroy some of the hangar's historic interior structures, which has left preservationist scrambling to save historic artifacts.
NASA went as far as to vet the RFI with the State Historic Preservation Office, Feng said.
"We have not skinned a hangar like this ever," Feng said. "We thought (the RFI) was the smart thing to do because of the uniqueness of Hangar One. We want the best of minds and eyes on it."
The RFI is available at tinyurl.com/hangarone-rfi and the deadline for responses is Sept. 23.

I am quite aggravated by this as well. I gave up an August production slot, just to get the September production change and now it looks like I will lose the ultimate drive event credit AND not get the update.
I am not sure how truthful it is, but my CA had a week 35 slot for me but told me yesterday that it got moved forward to week 34 by BMW. He said it is normal for BMW to pull forward or push backward a bit depending upon their manufacturing pace. Anyone knows if it is true? So I gave up that slot just to get the September build and now this!! Someone took that week 34 slot already
I told him unless he can get me a week 36 (to have a little bit of chance to get it delivered before 9/30), put me on a week 41 slot. I waited this long and am losing the UDE credit, I just can't NOT wait for the damn change .UGH

FLORENCE, S.C. – Emily Lorraine de Montluzin, a professor of history at Francis Marion University, has published her sixth book, Daily Life in Georgian England as Reported in the "Gentleman's Magazine."
The book is a fully annotated scholarly anthology of selected excerpts from the Gentleman's Magazine concerning topics of crime, medicine, science and natural history, archaeology, religion, parliamentary reporting, the American Colonies, the French Revolution, riots and radicalism, and literary criticism.
Established in 1731 and generally considered the first magazine in England, the Gentleman's Magazine constitutes an enormous and scarcely tapped source for scholarly investigation of Hanoverian culture and society. After a general introduction, de Montluzin's anthology offers nine chapters containing annotated excerpts from the first hundred years of publication, arranged topically, chosen to cover the widest possible range of aspects of Georgian life.
In the 18th century, before railroads speeded up transportation, most people in England had no access to daily newspapers. For thousands of readers in England and colonial America, the monthly issues of the Gentleman's Magazine brought them news of politics, wars, scientific discoveries, criminal trials, Captain Cook's voyage of exploration, Jenner's discovery of the smallpox vaccine, the guillotining of Louis XVI, the excavation of Herculaneum, the first balloon flight in the British Isles, improvements in farm machinery, the sighting of Halley's Comet, the mutiny on the Bounty, a new method of cutting out cataracts (before anesthesia), and even how to exterminate cockroaches – by drowning them in a bowl of beer fitted with a convenient up-ramp.
The Gentleman's Magazine had a wide readership in the Thirteen Colonies as well as England. George Washington was a regular subscriber, and Benjamin Franklin's letters describing his experiments with the lightning rod and the kite and key found their way into the magazine. Contributors in South Carolina sent in accounts of a catastrophic fire in Charleston as well as the start-up costs of indigo plantations, and the Gentleman's Magazine published one of the earliest reports of the "skirmish" at Lexington and Concord.
Daily Life in Georgian England as Reported in the "Gentleman's Magazine" is published by the Edwin Mellen Press, an international publisher of scholarly research. The book is volume 14 of Edwin Mellen Press's series, Studies in British and American Magazines.
De Montluzin has taught in the History Department at Francis Marion University since 1974. She is the author of five earlier books identifying anonymous and pseudonymous contributors to the Anti-Jacobin Review, the Gentleman's Magazine, and the European Magazine, as well as articles concerning 18th- and 19th-century British press history.

Today: From Super Bowl parties to bottomless bowls of chili
Didn't get invited to a Super Bowl party this year? Just about every local bar is hosting a party today; Kyle Garratt offered this list of ten super spots for watching the Super Bowl.
Just about every bar -- but not all of them. The Cherry Cricket, usually a popular place for watching the game, oddly chose to close for a major cleaning today.
And for those looking for event with an alternative (very) flavor, the Denver Zine Library is hosting its fifth annual Super Bowl Chili Cookoff. "It's a pretty low-key day," says the library's Kelly Shortandqueer. "We'll have couches and chairs and some music so that people can just come and hang out and chat with Denver zine lovers."
The party starts at 1 p.m. at the library's new home, the 27 Social Centre at 2727 West 27th Avenue; the hungry pay just $3 to $5 (sliding scale) for a bottomless chile bowl.

Kay's Seafood Gumbo
Kay Skipper
I tweaked a couple of gumbo recipes to come up with this one.
( I must admit, I do not care for okra in my seafood gumbo because I prefer my gumbo without a 'slimy feel' while swallowing.) This gumbo doesn't include okra for this reason. However, not a single person has asked~ "Where is the okra"?
I have a few specialty dishes and this is one of them. Try it and let me know what you think of my savory gumbo.
- 2/3 c
- vegetable oil
- 2/3 c
- flour
- 1
- (12 ounce) frozen package of mixedchopped onion, bell pepper and celery + 1 large fresh chopped onion
- 2 tsp
- minced garlic from a jar or the equvalent of fresh garlic minced.
- 4 to 5 c
- chicken broth
- 4 c
- water
- 1/3 c
- worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 c
- catsup
- 1 tsp
- louisiana or tobasco hot sauce
- 1 medium
- fresh tomato, chopped
- 1 tsp
- sea salt
- 2 slice
- bacon or 1 ham slice, chopped
- 4
- medium bay leaves
- 1/4 tsp
- dried whole rosemary
- 1/3 tsp
- red pepper flakes
- 4 to 5 lb
- unpeeled shrimp (get a buddy to help peel them with you while sipping on a glass of wine or beer together :)
- 1 to 2 c
- chopped cooked chicken
- 1 lb
- or more crabmeat
- 1
- (12 ounce) container of fresh oysters, undrained
- tony chachere's original creole cajun seasoning to taste
- gumbo file (optional)
- hot cooked rice
How to Make Kay's Seafood Gumbo
- 1Combine 2/3rds cup of vegetable oil with 2/3rds cup of flour in Dutch oven, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a caramel color~ approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
This is your Roux.
- 2Stir in the vegetables (bag of frozen vegetables, garlic and chopped fresh onion; cook an additional 40 minutes, stirring occasionally so the vegetables may not burn. (Toward the end of the 40 minute time, your vegetables and pasty roux will be be brown in color.)
Also, add the uncooked bacon (cut in 1" pieces) 20 minutes into the vegetable cooking process. If using ham, add bite sized pieces of ham at the end of the 40 minute cooking process.
After 40 minutes of cooking, at this stage, you may cool, package and either refrigerate or freeze for later use.
- 3Add chicken broth, water and seasonings (except for Tony Chacherie's and gumbo file and seafood)
Simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
- 4Peel and clean shrimp; add shrimp, chicken, crabmeat, and oysters, during the last 15 to 20 minutes of simmering period. (remove bay leaves)
Add Tony Chacerie's to taste and gumbo file to taste during the last 15 to 20 minutes of simmering period also.
Serves 18 to 24
Last Wednesday when I made this pot of gumbo, I spent a grand total of $55.00 which included a small hen and approximately 6 pounds of shrimp and 1 pound of crabmeat along with the 12 ounces of oysters. I fed 24 adults this savory dish along with a Caesar Salad, hot rice, french bread and a dessert. The total meal was approximately $80 dollars~ Not bad, eh?
Using 1 pound of pre-cooked, cleaned shrimp is ok, but fresh shrimp is what gives this dish its savory robust seafood flavor.

Excited about rising silver prices? Then investors should be drooling over the potential in silver shares.
Gold is glittering so far in 2016, up over 17%, but that's still dull in comparison to the 103% return for one precious metals ETF.

When Phil Kramer is shot dead on a deserted suburban street in the middle of the night, his wife, Emily, is left with an emptied bank account and a lot of questions. How could Phil leave her penniless? What was he going to do with the money? And, most of all, who was he if he wasn't the man she thought she married?
Jerry Hobart has some questions of his own. It's none of his business why he was hired to kill Phil Kramer. But now that he's been ordered to take out Kramer's widow, he figures there's a bigger secret at work--and maybe a bigger payoff.
As they race to find the secret that Phil Kramer so masterfully hid, both Hobart and Emily must question where their true loyalties lie and how much they owe those who have been unfaithful to them. In "Fidelity, "Thomas Perry delivers another riveting thriller.

Dear Basketball Australia chief executive Kristina Keneally,
I thought I'd write you a letter, just to clear the air.
I know you've just returned from visiting family overseas, but I'm sure you've read of the grievances of some of the WNBL's most respected figures printed in this paper the past week.
When two players, Jess Bibby and Kristi Harrower, with a combined 39 years experience in the league, decide to speak out, it's clear some things need to be addressed.
And when fellow players use social media to back them to the hilt, it's obvious the natives are restless.
This shouldn't be dismissed as Bibby and Harrower having a whinge. Bibby's comments merely broke the dam wall, highlighting the level of discontent among players, which has been bubbling under the surface for some time.
She was the one with enough courage to voice her views, when many were hesitant or afraid to do so.
She chose to express her belief that Basketball Australia prioritises the NBL over the WNBL.
She chose to say: ''It just goes to show the care factor really isn't there, they [Basketball Australia] are not interested in getting this league to the best it possibly can be.''
She revealed NBL players get Virgin lounge privileges, while WNBL players do not.
Harrower is also perfectly positioned to comment on the situation. She's been an Opals regular for almost two decades, works in sponsorship with her WNBL club, Bendigo Spirit, and was the league's general manager for four years.
When she says, ''I've been to [WNBL] meetings and nothing's changed'', yourself and Basketball Australia should sit up and take notice. Harrower went on to say: ''Sometimes I feel BA won't make the changes because they know we will play for our country because we love to do it.''
Translation: ''We wouldn't boycott playing for the Opals in a million years, but do we have to finish seventh or eighth at an Olympics before more money is injected into women's basketball?''
She revealed Basketball Australia rejected the Opals' request to be given six business class tickets to travel to the 2008 Olympics, despite the entire men's side flying business class.
That is inexcusable. It should be pointed out the Opals have won medals at the past five Olympics, while the men's trophy cabinet is bare.
Kristina, I'd like to direct you to a column posted on world governing body FIBA's website on Saturday.
It tries to justify the fact Basketball Australia allocates more than four times more funding to the NBL than the WNBL because ''the NBL has attracted a naming rights sponsor, the WNBL has not. The NBL has attracted a commercial television deal, the WNBL has not''.
Obviously it's much easier for the NBL to attract these things when it has FOUR times as much money to throw around.
I'd love to have a chat, Kristina. The deafening silence from Basketball Australia is frustrating the players further.

A 3-ingredient marinade that makes the juiciest pork chops ever.
Rule for straightforward summer grilling: Pair rich, smoky charred meats with crisp, acidic vegetables. This helps refresh the palate between bites.
What's better than a pork chop recipe? 20 pork chop recipes! Here are our favorite ways to cook a weeknight staple.
A pork cutlet (katsu) is a perfect pairing, but you can substitute chicken instead.
And how to save your chops from dreaded dryness.
Rather than marinating ahead of time, which, let's face it, doesn't work on weeknights, we came up with a citrus-mustard-cilantro dressing that bathes the chops in punchy flavor.
For this pork chop recipe, the target temperature for the meat might be lower than what you're used to. That's because we believe that when you invest in delicious, humanely raised pork, you deserve to enjoy it at a juicy, tender medium-rare.
Here are 33 of our favorite recipes—from zesty skewers and fragrant pho to caramelized chops and spicy enchiladas—guaranteed to put pork in your weeknight dinner rotation.
Other stone fruit, such as peaches, nectarines, or apricots, would also be compatible in this sweet-sour-spicy relish.
A heavy-hitting marinade and an unexpected plum and herb salad transform pork rib chops into an irresistible summer meal.
There shouldn't be a surprise visit from the fire department when you're searing pork chops.
One hard-working pork chop marinade recipe serves two functions, flavoring the pork chops before and after they hit the grill.
Instead of grilling individual chops for a crowd, get a massive one and cook it to share. Here's how it's done.
For this pork chop recipe, to get a true reading on the meat, make sure the thermometer is dead in the center and not too close to the bones, where the temperature will be higher. Learn how it's done here.
We fully support eating your feelings and cooking up some great comfort food. Here's what's on the menu.
After you master our method for brined and pan-roasted chops, prepare to say goodbye to those dry, flavorless things you used to call pork chops.
Pounding a pork chop ensures that it will cook quickly. We leave the bone in to keep the meat extra juicy.
Pork chops crusted with fennel and roasted with potatoes make for an elegant, one-pan meal.
Cutting the vegetables into similarly sized pieces helps them cook at the same rate, so this entire dish—sauce included—can be made in one pan.
Starting the chop in a hot pan lets you get a good initial sear; lowering the heat gives you control while it cooks through.

text: Voters this fall in one North Carolina community will decide whether to pay more for transportation improvements. A question on the city of Raleigh's Oct. 8 ballot will ask voters to decide on a $75 million transportation bond. The money would be used for roadwork, transit and sidewalks throughout the city. Supporters say that without approving new funds it would take the city 50 years to resurface each street. Normally, they say streets should be repaved three or four times within that time span. Opponents say the city already has too much debt. They also question whether some projects, such as streetscapes and improved bike paths, are necessary. If approved, the property tax rate would increase by 1.12 cents per $100 valuation. The increase would amount to $33 more on a $300,000 house. The revenue would cover the cost of the bond, as well as continued maintenance once projects are finished. The Wake County Republican and Democratic parties have taken different stances on the bond issue. Democratic Party Chairman Dan Blue III wrote that the property tax hike "is a reasonable price to pay for widened roads, better traffic flow, and improvements for bicyclists in the fast-growing city." Republican officials said that they found "some projects to be very credible; however, concern about continued accumulation of debt warrants opposition to the bond issue."

Weiner not dropping out of NYC mayoral race
Anthony Weiner says he's not dropping out of the New York City mayoral race in light of newly revealed explicit online correspondence with a young woman.
And his wife, Huma Abedin, is standing by him.
Weiner admitted on Tuesday to exchanging racy photos and having X-rated chats with a woman he met online. He had resigned his House seat in June 2011 after acknowledging having sexual conversations with at least a half-dozen women.
The newly revealed correspondence was posted Monday by the gossip website The Dirty. The woman involved was not identified. She says their online relationship began in July 2012 and lasted for six months.
The 22-year-old woman told the website Weiner had promised her things, including a condo in Chicago.
In a statement, Weiner admitted some of the things posted are real. He said he's already admitted wrongdoing and apologized to his wife.
Abedin says Weiner "made some horrible mistakes," but that she has forgiven him and believes in him.
Weiner predicted more photos would come out as he got back into politics.

Jimmy Fallon was a Calvin Klein Model
Didja know about this?? Yea, I didn't know either!
Back in 2001, Jimmy told Paper Magazine, "I really snuck that one in there. When it was all done, no one made fun of me or anything. As a comedian, you don't really think that you're good-looking, so when someone asks you if you'd like to model Calvin Klein, you're like, 'Oh my God, yes — yes, I want the billboard to be right over the Improv.' I wanted people walking in to be like, 'When is it all going to end for that guy? He is the luckiest man on earth.' I mean, this is ridiculous."

The epidemic is spreading.
From St. Petersburg to Minneapolis to the city by the bay, controversial calls are already beginning to overtake the 2010 MLB Playoffs.
While each call has had an impact, the most significant by far came on Thursday night during the San Francisco Giants' 1-0 win over the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of the NLDS.
Why was it significant? Because it directly involved the runner who would score the game's only run.
The contest was otherwise defined by superb pitching efforts from both Tim Lincecum(notes) and Derek Lowe(notes), and it was clear that both managers knew what they were up against.
Nowhere was that more clear than in the fourth inning, when Bruce Bochy elected to put Buster Posey(notes) — he of no career steals — in motion with Pat Burrell(notes) at the bat and no outs.
[Related: Postseason kicks off with yet another blown call]
The move paid off for Bochy, but as you can see in the picture above, Posey was out by quite a lot.
He wasn't called that way, though, because second base umpire Paul Emmel saw it quite differently (via Jeff Fletcher of AOL FanHouse):
"I saw him safe. That's what I called."
Emmel's call changed the entire landscape of the inning for Lowe and Bobby Cox. Posey would score on a two-out single by Cody Ross(notes) later in the inning. Neither team would score again.
But while plenty of Braves fans protested on Twitter, no one on the Braves said a peep at the time.
Not Brooks Conrad(notes), who put the tag on Posey.
[List: The worst calls in sports]
And not by Bobby Cox (via the Associated Press):
"I haven't seen it," Cox said of the tag play after the game. "Some of the guys came down after that inning and said he was out by six, eight inches. I didn't see a reaction from anyone. From the dugout you can't see anything."
You can't see anything from the dugout? Maybe that helps explain all of those ejections over the years.
The Braves' lack of protest doesn't change the facts of what we all saw. The reality is the call was missed and the game was changed because of it. Another game, another controversy.
Worse yet, we're only two days in.

Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby has described the north London derby against Spurs as 'more than a game' and claims his side know how to deal with their rivals.
It has been some 18 years since Spurs last finished above the Gunners in the league, and combative midfielder Diaby is all too aware of just what this match means for everyone involved.
"We all look forward to these big games because they are not only important to us, but to the club and the fans. It is more than a game," Diaby told Arsenal Player.
"The atmosphere around the game means we all want to win, so that makes it very exciting. That is why I think there are so many goals."
Diaby feels Arsenal can use their 5-2 victory over a 10-man Spurs at the Emirates Stadium earlier this season as leverage when the battle lines are drawn again at White Hart Lane this weekend.
"It will be difficult because they play at their ground and have the crowd supporting them, but we just have to deal with that," the France international added.
"Of course [we have a psychological edge] because from the last game against them we took some lessons and we know them well.
"We know how to deal with them."

I love to going shopping,it isn´t a secret, but it makes me more happy If I buy things for others.
In this case, the lucky man has been my bf. When I saw this sweater, I couldn´t resist the tentation and also I have shopped him a scarf in the same colours. While I came back to home, I thought in this outfit. I know that it would be better If I had used a model but I hadn´t any volunteer... I hope that he likes it.

Windows 3.1 on a Nokia N95February 24th, 2009 by Blake Cormier
It would appear our Polish friends are beating us on the Archaic-versions-of-Windows-on-mobile-devices front. This fellow used the Symbian version of DOSbox to get a full Windows 3.1 desktop running on an N95. While this may not be the most useful hack in the world, it does bring back memories of many hours of my childhood spent playing Chips Challenge and SkiFree.

The Eejits, better known as the children's story The Twits, will be launched in Falkirk next week.
The story, about a warring old couple, has been given a Scots twist by writer Matthew Fitt.
The book launch is one of a series of events worldwide celebrating Roald Dahl Day on 13 September.
Falkirk Council education convener Tom Coleman said there was also a serious side to the book, which starts with the line: "Whit a clossach o hairie-bairdie men ye see gaun aboot nooadays."
Popular books
Promoting the Scots language for our children to enjoy is very important," he said.
"Books which speak to them in the language of their home and playground help them to express themselves and to engage in learning so we are delighted to be able to launch the Scots version of a book loved by so many children."
Dahl, who died in 1990, wrote children's books which sold millions worldwide and were turned into films including The Witches and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The Eejits will receive its national launch in Falkirk Library.

I presented the Program of the Year award to "Breaking Bad" at Saturday's Television Critics Association awards. Eventually.
Unfortunately, I walked to the podium without the award. Which was the second time in three years I've made that miss. And that's pretty embarrassing, particularly because I am, ahem, the current TCA president.
"Those are not good odds," Bryan Cranston whispered in my ear as he hugged me. (The "Breaking Bad" star is a very huggy kind of guy.)
Fortunately, a couple of former TCA presidents got the award to me. And, fortunately, it played like inadvertent comedy. Because it actually was inadvertent comedy.

Central Texas College is once again listed as one of the "Best Colleges for Veterans" by the Military Times EDGE Magazine.
According to the magazine's survey, the college was ranked fourth on the 2013 list of best colleges for veterans, up from 15th in 2012. The rankings are based on a number of criteria, including academic accreditation, staff knowledge on veterans' issues and whether the school has a central veterans' office.
Central Texas College, which offers classes at campuses both in U.S. and overseas as well as online, was cited for its tuition cost.
The college's credit-per-hour rate is below the established tuition assistance cap of $250, under the G.I. Bill cap and full out-of-state tuition for all programs is lower than the nationwide cap of $17,500 per school year, according to a Friday statement from the college.

Former vice president Dick Cheney says he's not worried about being tried as a war criminal.
That's a claim made by Lawrence Wilkerson, the former chief of staff to ex-secretary of state Colin Powell, who says Cheney's new memoir is full of "cheap shots;" Wilkerson told ABC News that Cheney wrote In My Time in part "to assert himself so he's not in some subsequent time period tried for war crimes."
Cheney turned Powell's criticism against his former chief of staff today on Fox News Sunday.
"Well, that's news to me," Cheney said of the war crimes claim. "I don't pay a lot of attention to Mr. Wilkerson. I don't know him. As far as I know, I never met the gentleman.
"I know he speaks out from time to time, and that strikes me as a cheap shot."
The former vice president's support and defense of enhanced interrogation techniques against terrorist suspects -- including waterboarding -- continues to stir claims that those methods violate international law against torture.
In his ABC interview, Wilkerson said of Cheney's book: "I think he's just trying to, one, assert himself so he's not in some subsequent time period tried for war crimes and, second, so that he somehow vindicates himself because he feels like he needs vindication. That in itself tells you something about him."
During one Cheney media appearance last week, a protester flashed a sign in front of a camera that read: "Torture is a Crime -- Investigate Cheney."
Cheney, whose book has been criticized by former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice as well as Powell and Wilkerson, said he has no apologies for the advice he gave President George W. Bush.
He also doesn't worry about his critics, Cheney told Fox's Chris Wallace:
"There are a lot of people out there who don't like me, don't like what I did in public life, disagree fundamentally with my views.
It's OK. It's a democracy.
I don't need or I didn't need 100 percent to prevail. I only needed 50% plus one. And I am not trying to impress anybody what a great candidate I make because running I don't plan to be a candidate."

Andrew Cohen chronicles the many uncertainties in Alabama's case against Thomas Arthur, who was convicted of murder three decades ago and is scheduled to be executed next month. They include a key witness who recanted and then unrecanted her testimony, another man who admitted to committing the murder, and a wig containing DNA evidence that likely belongs to the real killer.
Alabama, however, refuses to allow this evidence to be tested even though it would cost the state nothing to do so:
Late last month, I profiled the wobbly capital conviction against Troy Noling in Ohio and there are remarkable similarities between it and the Arthur case. Both involve white defendants. Both include contentions of innocence and allegations of bad lawyering at trial. Both include a lack of physical evidence linking the defendants to the crime. Both include crucial witness testimony that borders the farcical. And both include state officials reluctant to permit sophisticated DNA testing that might definitively answer questions about whether the defendants committed the murders they will die for.
Arthur's attorneys are even willing to pay for that testing, the few thousand bucks it would be, and the testing could be completed by the execution date. It is here where prosecutors and judges lose me when they prioritize "finality" in capital punishment cases at the expense of "accuracy." It would cost Alabama nothing to let Arthur's lawyers do the testing. And it might solve a case that already has cost the state millions of dollars. Instead, Alabama wants to finally solve its Arthur problem by executing him. No matter how the new DNA test could come out, the state is more interested in defending its dubious conviction.

Katy Perry & Kanye West's E.T. Video
Katy Perry and Kanye West's have just released their video for E.T.!
Katy and Kanye have teamed up for the first time for a video that is definitly a bit different than Katy's other videos. Katy plays an alien who drifts through space until she lands on a planet with garbage everywhere. After explaoring a bit, she finds a broken robot who turns into a beautiful naked man when she touches him. Katy even strips of her clothes and gets naked but Kanye leaves his clothes on throughout the video. The single hit number one in the U.S. which is the fourth consecutive time for the pop star.
Check out Katy Perry and Kanye West's E.T. video below!

The Ireland fly-half kicked all 21 of Ulster's points and passed the 400-mark in the European competition to give the province a desperately-needed success.
The Blues got the only try but Tom Shanklin's touchdown counted for nothing as Humphreys enjoyed a 100 per cent kicking success rate.
He landed two drop goals and five straight penalty attempts.
Blues number 10 Lee Thomas kicked two penalties and a drop goal as well as the simple conversion.
It was an error-strewn game with little in the way of flowing rugby for the Belfast crowd.
Humphreys then landed three consecutive penalties without reply to give the Irish province a 12-3 advantage at the break.
Poor Ulster defensive work within a minute of the restart resulted in Shanklin going through under the posts. Thomas converted to reduce the arrears to two points.
Ulster were then penalised for high tackling and Thomas landed the 48th-minute kick to give the Blues the lead for the first time at 13-12.
But Ulster got the winning score when Kevin Maggs set Humphreys up for his second drop goal of the night and the Ulster flyhalf then made sure of victory with his fifth penalty.
