Joyer a bright spot for Gators
Published: Friday, November 15, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 11:44 p.m.
Fullback Hunter Joyer has been one of Florida's most important and consistent players over the past three years.
Joyer was a catalyst in allowing UF coach Will Muschamp to turn the Gators into a power running team, and he helped them become one of the SEC's best rushing attacks and average 188 yards per game in 2012.
This season, injuries to Florida's starting quarterback, running back and top three offensive tackles have prevented the Gators from doing what they want to offensively.
UF has run more of a spread system since Tyler Murphy took over for the injured Jeff Driskel, and that has kept Joyer off the field.
He's not being asked to block as much as he was in the past and has just two touches — one carry and one catch that both went for seven yards.
Last season he finished with two rushes and four receptions for 18 yards, and he rushed for two touchdowns and 82 yards on 18 carries as a freshman.
Despite his lessened role, Florida offensive coordinator Brent Pease said Joyer has performed well when given the opportunity.
"I think he's done a good job," he said. "He's really in a spot where you don't see his name a lot because of what we ask in his role and what he does positionally. He's done a good job blocking.
"It's kind of a rule that you get a lot of 'thank yous' from your teammates when they see what you do. He's been one of the kids that — through the last three, four games — has been steady for us."
With Murphy nursing a shoulder injury and Skyler Mornhinweg having zero game experience, the Gators will likely lean more on the run game regardless of who plays Saturday against South Carolina.
This could lead to more blocking assignments for Joyer, and with the way Florida's offensive line has struggled, he will be counted on to carry them out.
"We know they have a pretty good pass rush," he said of the Gamecocks. "I'm just trying to pick up anything I can (in protection)."
Joyer is also trying to block out the negatively surrounding Florida's football program, as the 4-5 Gators are under .500 for the first time since 1992 and could have their 22-year streak of going to a bowl game end this season.
"It's very shocking, but it's life and we just got to deal with it and move on," Joyer said. "We're just trying to get these wins. You never want to have a losing record or not be able to make it to a bowl game, so we're just trying to win for our pride and for ourselves. Most of our goals are out. There's no SEC Championship to be playing for, but we're still trying to win, trying to compete."

I can deal with wifi only. I have new iPad and its only wifi.
so it's like an ipod touch just a little bigger? ok
So is the kindle Fire. It's also only Wi-Fi only. Some people like a smaller iPad. The Samsung Galaxy Tabs we sell here are only Wi-Fi devices also. I to have a iPad3 Wi-Fi only device; makes sense since we just got LTE here in Alaska so why pay for data when i have unlimited on my iPhone & will Continue to have Unlimited Data for as long as I have service with At&t.
Maybe the surprise is that its ALSO a phone??? PLEASE....
Still waiting for the BIGGER Screen!
An iPad mini is for people who just want what they can't have. If Apple was to make an iPad mini, you same people would complain about it and then demand something else. It's just how it goes.
Do you think the iPad Mini is a bad idea? If so, why? Do you also think it's a bad idea for TV manufacturers to produce TVs of such vastly different sizes.
As for you question.......... An iPad mini is an interesting debate. However is it a good idea? That in all reality can only be answered by surveys and most importantly a cost analysis. Overall it is even more complicated than that.
I have not looked at sales numbers from other company's regarding there smaller tablets. However I do know that iPad is selling at a stellar rate. Even the less expensive iPad 2 is still selling at a great rate. It makes no sense to produce another product that would corrode there own dominance in a specific market. Keep in mind that just because other manufactures are making a smaller more affordable tablet, that does not mean they are profitable. It does not even mean that the market segment is worth the cost. From a business aspect, smaller tablets are just another way competitors are trying to break down Apples market barrier/wall. They are only trying to get your money vs Apple getting it by making a more affordable tablet.Although, it doesn't matter because over time, Apples wall will start to diminish on its own anyway. At some point consumers will all move on to the next best thing and even the all mighty iPad and iPhone will become what is known as "dogs." Obviously at the moment they are "cash cows."
I do eventually expect an iPad mini, but not so soon. I would expect to see it when Apple really starts loosing market share, or the product needs to seriously be updated to capture sales. Hence, we now have iPods available in different colors. I mean do you really think adding colors to the iPod line up needed a serious technological advancement for that to happen?
If they do release one this year I would be surprised and also interested to see how it affects iPad and iPod sales. I do however expect to see one next year. However I am not privy to what there survey's and cost analysis are telling them. In the end we will all find out together.
As for your comment about television sizes, that is irrelevant. The TV market is very saturated and old. It is a very Mature market. It is not a great comparison.
I'd have to agree with the notion that it dose not make sense to release an iPad mini "yet" and take away from the sales of the current iPads.
I just don't think there is going to be an iPad mini... I wish we would all get a grip.
I remember someone saying 7 inch tablets were dead on arrival.
This is why myWi exists by far the most useful and best purchase I've ever made from Cydia

Mariah Yeater Is A 'Good Person' Who Just Happened To Statutory Rape Justin Bieber
Mariah Yeater, the 20-year-old California girl above who allegedly had unprotected sex with a 16-year-old Justin Bieber then sued him for paternity of her three-month-old son via a tabloid is really a "good, honest person," according to her grandfather. "Why if it weren't for that boy's maple-penis, I reckon she'd be a doctor. Just look at these here medical photos she took on the computer box." NY Daily News reports:
Eddie Markhouse tells Inside Edition that his granddaughter, Mariah Yeater, doesn't lie.
"I don't know the whole story. But, from what I understood, she met him at a concert and he sent two security guards down off of the stage to bring her backstage to meet him," Markhouse said. "She said they partied, had some drinks and they indulged in sex … She's basically an honest good person. She's got a big heart. She's a good kid and she loves this baby."
Whoa, whoa, whoa, now it's both of them were drunk? So this good, honest, all-American, salt-of-the-earth church-folk of a nun accidentally poured alcohol into an underage Justin Bieber and then somehow his penis ended up in her without a condom on? Well, clearly this proves he's a witch. I say we tie rocks to him and demand his magic sex powers compel him to float. To the quarry!

Shares climbed to a five-week high today, after robust Chinese economic data buoyed sentiment and as investors bet on the Reserve Bank cutting official interest rates to bolster the flagging economy.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index advanced 25.5 points, or 0.6 per cent, to 4531.5, the highest closing level since Oct. 23.The benchmark rose 2.1 per cent last week.
Weaker than expected retail sales, job advertisements and corporate profits figures released all supported expectations for a rate cut by the central bank at its policy meeting on Tuesday.
CommSec analyst Juliette Saly said investors shrugged off the weak data and instead bought into local stocks after the release of encouraging data on the weekend that showed a further improvement in Chinese manufacturing activity.
''Our market's taken that lead and we've seen some good buying coming through today,'' Ms Saly said.
Figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed retail spending was steady in October, below expectations of a 0.4 per cent rise.
The weaker retail figure added to expectations the Reserve Bank of Australia will cut the cash rate by 0.25 percentage points to 3.00 per cent when its board meets on Tuesday for the last time until February 2013.
Following the data, interbank futures pointed to a 75 per cent chance that the bank would ease rates.
"For many parts of corporate Australia, business conditions are as tough as in the global financial crisis," said CommSec chief economist Craig James.
"Profits have fallen for the fourth straight quarter, inventories have lifted for the fourth straight quarter and sales are sluggish across many key sectors," he said, adding there was a strong chance of a rate cut on Tuesday.
A Reuters poll showed 16 of 23 economists expect the RBA to cut its cash rate by 25 basis points to 3.0 percent, matching record lows seen during the global financial crisis.
Despite the increased expectations for a rate cut, retailers were mostly lower.
Among the top retailers, department store Myer closed down 1.8 per cent and smaller rival David Jones lost 2.0 per cent.
Defensive shares including telecoms, food and healthcare led the gains on Monday, with Telstra up 0.9 per cent, baker Goodman Fielder up 1.5 percent and blood products maker CSL Ltd rising 2.4 per cent.
Shares in Woodside Petroleum gained 0.9 per cent to $34.11 after the company announced plans to acquire a 30 per cent interest in a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) discovery off the coast of Israel in a $US1.25 billion deal.
Shares in Gindalbie Metals slumped 11.9 per cent to 26 cents after the iron ore junior completed a $40 million fully underwritten placement to institutional investors.
Among the big miners, BHP Billiton was up 15 cents to $34.54, Rio Tinto fell 21 cents to $58.54 and Fortescue dipped 15 cents to $3.76.
Among the banks, ANZ jumped 33 cents to $24.69, Commonwealth Bank surged $1.12 cents to $60.81, while National Australia Bank was one cent lower at $24.29 and Westpac was six cents higher at $25.56.

Michelle & James
August 11
Toronto, Canada
Q&A with the Bride:
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
There were a lot of details we were very proud of, but for me, the top three would be:
- Our rings – We chose to present each other with identical wedding bands. This was important to us because we truly see ourselves as equals and teammates in our relationship and this marriage, and wanted matching rings that would remind us of that forever. We joked about engraving them with "World Series Champions 2012" or something of the sort to reinforce that we're on the same team, but decided that the rings themselves would be sufficient for us!
- Our place cards – For our save-the-date cards, we presented a board game theme by featuring Scrabble tiles in the card design. We decided to continue this theme with our place cards by using Jenga blocks to mark each guest's spot. My sister attached stickers to the blocks with our guests' names so that they would be able to find their places at our very long table, and we also supplied Sharpie pens so that guests could write a message to us on their blocks after sitting down. Towards the end of the meal my mother collected all of the Jenga blocks into a basket, leaving us with a very personalized and memory-filled game that we can play for years to come!
- Our table – From the outset, we agreed that we wanted to sit with all of our guests at a single long table. I took a trip with my family to Tuscany seven years ago, and we lunched in a vineyard, huddled around one gorgeous table with wine and conversation flowing freely. It remains one of my favourite memories, and I wanted to recreate it on my wedding day. We didn't want to be on display at a head table, but part of the group, with our families and friends, sitting elbow to elbow. We likewise didn't want to organize our guests into a traditional wedding hierarchy of who's known who the longest, or who likes who more. In the end, the table was breathtaking and turned out even better than we'd imagined it, and Graydon Hall Manor was the absolute perfect place for it. We kept our guest list small so that all 59 of us would fit comfortably at the 64 foot-long table, decorated with candles and lemons and floral centerpieces I had put together the day before with my mother and sister. The seating chart was definitely a little intimidating to tackle and arrange, but we made it work!

J.J. Abrams Directing Next 'Star Wars' Movie — REPORT
Not a long time ago, in our very own galaxy, Walt Disney Pictures purchased George Lucas' greatest accomplishment: the Star Wars universe. After Disney announced that it would be producing three new Star Wars movies, fans erupted in chatter about who might be brought on to direct the forthcoming pictures. A variety of names have been tossed around — Brad Bird, Joss Whedon, and Guillermo del Toro as favorites among them — but it seems that a creative force has finally been chosen to bring Episode VII to life: J.J. Abrams.
The Wrap broke the news that the man who revived the Star Trek film franchise, who channeled science fiction classics of yesteryear with Super 8, and who helped to deliver the small screen wonder Lost, will reportedly handle direction on the first of three developing Star Wars pictures — this news despite Abrams' having denied such involvement in the earlier days of the property's incubation. Hollywood.com has reached out to Abrams' production company Bad Robot for confirmation, but an anonymous rep for the company says that "there are no official announcements at this time." Reps for Disney and Lucasfilm could not be reached in time; however, George Lucas' son Jett tweeted, "J J Abrams will do wonders!" on Thursday afternoon, contributing to the blossoming rumors that Abrams is indeed taking the wheel.
While we're still in the dark on the exact premise of this new venture, many will rejoice at the announcement of Abrams at the helm. While many of his recent television endeavors have floundered, the big screen is where Abrams belongs. His imagination and passion for the sort of grand spectrum upheld by Star Wars should result in a new episode worth getting excited for.

>Racing>2013 Sub 4:00 Marathon Goal
Runs With Kid
I ran my 4th marathon in Moncton, New Brunswick in October 2012 with the intention of breaking 4 hrs. If successful it would be my last marathon because the training/time commitment is just too much, I much prefer 1/2 marathons. BUT I failed by 52 seconds! So, being from New Brunswick Canada, and now living in Maine I decided to register for the 1st Annual Bay of Fundy Marathon. This marathon starts in USA crosses to Canada and back to USA...the first one ever to cross the border, and you get to check off a state and a province off your list! Hopefully my 5th and Final Marathon will be my sub 4:00. Would love to find a few folks training for the same event. I completely slacked off after the October marathon, so I feel like I'm starting from scratch all over again! Happy New Year Everyone! May you all get new PRs this year!
HI Jamie - Welcome to the group. 52seconds over must have been quite tough to deal with. The running gods obviously want you back for some more so all the best for your goal marathon. Your marathon reminds me of the Istanbul Marathon in Turkey, which is advertized as the only transcontinental marathon - i think you start on the Asian side of Turkey and run over the Bosphorus bridge over to the European side of Turkey (or vice versa, cant remember the direction now). Would be good marathons to have on the bucket list of folks chasing unique / exotic marathons.
Look forward to your training and all the best with cracking your target !!
I dont sweat. I ooze liquid awesome.
i had every intention of getting a sub 4 in my first marathon at the Miami Marathon Jan 29th but alas the old military back injury took hold and ruined December and left me scrambling in Jan to just return to some sort of running shape without sciatic pain but I am on a mission so my new mission has become to run the Colfax Marathon here in Denver on May 19th with a goal of 3:55 just like I was training for at the end of 2012 the second attempt will be October 20th 2013 at the Rock and Roll Denver Marathon. Good Luck to all!
Hey Philip - welcome to the party !! All the best for your sub4 pursuits.
On the road again...
Might as well throw myself in the mix. Columbia SC Marathon on March 9 will be my first shot in 2013.
I have a love/hate relationship with running. I do it, but sometimes I love to hate it.
Welcome Jamie, Phil and Yapper!
Jamie: 52 seconds! As in 2 seconds a mile! Doesn't get much more frustrating than that.
Phil: I am in Denver once or twice a year for business, always sunshine. Must be a beautiful place to run and live
Yapper: have you had previous attempts?
Me: Saturday 10K race report: alarm set for 4:15, out of the house by 5pm. Drove to Jersey City to park and ride PATH and subway to get to the bib pick-up at NYRR offices on 89th Street. Arrived at about 6.45. Cold, I would say around 30-32, but with a windchill factor taking it down to mid to high 20. The streets and avenues in Manhattan funnel the wind, but once you get into Central Park, most of the wind disappears.
Having no particular goal, I set off pretty conservatively, and finished the first mile in 8:45. Warmed up and the density of runners reduced, I picked up the pace mile 2, but was still surprised to clock 8:03. Mile 3 contained a brute of a hill, but I cannot help making a big effort in hills, and clocked 8:18 for mile 3. Mile 4 started with a second hill just after the big one, and that one really slowed me down, as did the remaining ups and downs: 8:40. I was a little dispondant when I saw that mile time on the watch, but then I figured that if I could do the last two miles in 8:10, a sprint over the last 0.2 would actually bring me pretty close to my PR of 52:00. Morale was assisted by the first mile and a half of the 2.2 being pretty flat or even descending, but I knew also that the last 0.75 contained a couple of climbs. What the heck, I decided to go for it, and clocked 8:07 and 8:08 for miles 5 and 6. Ran the last quarter mile at 7:39, and finished at 51:54, a PR of 6 seconds, but I will take that with pleasure, considering that it was not an easy flat course, and my intention at the start was just a good workout.
Sunday: 14-mile LR. if you have problems running your LR slow enough, try doing it after a 10K race. Works wonders: average pace 10:20!
Personal bests (bold = this year): 5K - 23:27 / 5M - 38:42 / 10K - 49:31 (track) / 10M - 1:24:26 / HM - 1:51:17 / M - 3:58:58
Next races: NYC Marathon, Nov 2014
It ain't pretty!
I am looking for a sub 4 in my 3rd marathon on May 26th at the Vermont City Marathon in Burlington, VT. I also ran this race last year. The temps soared and I dehydrated finishing in 4:23. I had a running coach and a customized training plan for this marathon. My second marathon was the Amica marathon on 10/14 in Newport, RI. Despite more adverse weather conditions and a much tougher course, I completed in 4:14. I used the Hal Higdon Intermediate 1 program to train for that one.
This time my training partner and I are using Hanson's Beginner Marathon program and we're training for a 3:50 marathon. We've settled on 3:50 because many of the race predictors put us at about 3:55 based upon 10k, 10 mile, and HM times. Training starts in a couple of weeks and I'm on my way back from a sciatica issue, so, I'm challenging myself! We'll see how it goes!
Running for my life!
First week of my plan this week. Still getting over being sick at the beginning of the week so I missed my interval workout on Tuesday, but kept up with the rest of the plan. My marathon pace Tempo run was actually pretty fun, but only 5 miles at MP so not like it was tough or anything. Was pretty happy with my splits on the MP part, 8:42, 8:40: 8:39, 8:38, 8:38. A tiny bit fast, but I really felt like I locked into the rythym and am really looking forward to many more miles at that pace.
I'm already messing with my plan next week though, going to throw in a 2 mile race next Saturday so not sure if I'm going to skip my intervals this week or not. I was planning on skipping them, but since I missed last week I'm thinking of doing them this week. I think I should be able to recover from some easy intervals on Tuesday for a Saturday race.
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)
Twofootshuffle - well done on the 10k race and following through with the long run. I ran for a little more than 2 hours for the first time day before yesterday in nearly 6 months (counting only training runs) and felt quite delighted that i managed to finish what i started out to do. I always feel the worst in the first 2-3 kms ... full of self-doubt and apprehension on whether i can actually continue to run for another 2 hours or not .. and then by 5-6kms, my wandering mind usually settles down. Obviously have a long way to go (both literally and metaphorically) in approaching and doing these runs more "positively". Have another 7 weeks of training to go before D-day so looking to salvage as much training as possible.
Welcome Rick D ... 3rd time lucky for sure !!
nPaden - Nicely done on the tempo run .. consistency is remarkable.
Once more into the abyss for me......Please add me to the list.
November 24 - Philadelphia Marathon
201x goals: run a bunch....race some.....repeat...

Hi JML - Welcome !!! Nearly a whole year of training planning that you can eagerly look forward to. By the way - had a look at your log; your 1:37 HM a couple of months back is insanely fast (for someone shooting for sub 4) and if you wanted to, you could actually train for a legit shot at 3:30 ... but if you like to savor the moments (and more of them at that), sub 4 is a nice comfy target to go for ! All the best !!

All the best !!
Thanks for the kind words. I am hopeful that sub 4 will be an easier target this time. After a first marathon effort of 4:08 in 2010 and terrible 2nd marathon of 4:36 in 2011, I have been studiously avoiding the marathon idea. A solid stretch of training last year (using Nobby's Running-Wizard) lead to the 1:37 half, so I think I am ready to try again using my new and improved approach to training. Fingers crossed.
A little more than a month to go for me and i am midway through my training plan from practically zilch running ... so far, things have been encouraging and i am keeping my fingers crossed about carrying it all through until the end Feb. Ran for 2.5 hours on Sunday evening after dilly dallying over sat morning and sun morning - and somehow managed to keep it together. Ended up running the last 15km around 10% slower than GMP so it was not too bad a run. This week is my cutback week so am dropping mileage back by 20%-30% before stepping it up again next week. Slowly progressing on the weight-loss goal as well - 1kg down, 1.5kg to go.
Anybody here have any tips on how to best maximize the usefulness of the cutback week? (Too many varied opinions on websites). Just run all easy on lower mileage or hit all key workouts but make them shorter?

Keep the long run on your schedule and have all other runs that week be easy....no speed or tempo runs. Give the training that you have done leading up to the cut back week a chance to 'sink in'.
Hi everyone!
Been running all my life, HMs are my fave and usually finish sub 2:00.
Prefer trail running overall but I run at least a 10 miler and/or HM race/month.
Never thought I would run a marathon but decided to as a 50th birthday gift to myself.
I trained well on my own with lots of advice from articles and was very ready with the longest training run at 24 miles a month prior.
Didn't really have a time goal but I knew I could finish under 5 hours.
I enjoyed every part of the RnR event, and finished in 4:10!!
Probably should have finish sub 4 but I really wanted to experience every part of the festivities, took photos along the way, texted and called hubby, family and friends during my walk breaks. A friend/runner told us after the race that I was 5 minutes off from BQ!! It didn't bother me as I was not even thinking of it but my husband was already planning my next one to finish sub-4 to just say I qualified for Boston, haha!!
I registered for another marathon that summer and ran it despite a bummed knee (slipped on ice during a training run in the snow, mud, etc.) but I finished in 4:34. My longest run due to the bummed knee was only 18 miles, twice, about a month prior.
Life interruptions, hectic travel schedule for business, etc. only had me running mostly HMs since then.
But I am 'in training mode' for my next marathon, and plan on a sub 4:00, in May/June, somewhere in the SW most likely.
Now 52, I live in northern MN and the bitter artic temps makes it too risky to run outdoors; at least 25 below ZERO daily for the past few weeks; a 'high' of 10 only a couple of days ago, wind chills making it even more brutal, and do not want to get sick.
I am really trying to stay friends with the TM at the local health club but my longest run so far has been only 12 miles, intervals. But I am keeping a base of 10 miles, intervals mostly; trying to get in quality runs over quantity, along with strength/core exercises, and yoga stuff. TM has brought out past problems with shin splints, aggravating knee issues and sole of feet just aches. So I am running about 2 to 3 times per week. My business travel will have me in milder weather soon so I will be piling on the mileage during those days.
Great to hear each of your goals!! We can do it!!

Mexican police are searching for an armed gang that attacked a Christian youth camp outside Mexico City.
Prosecutors said the gang subjected the campers to an ordeal lasting several hours. Seven girls were sexually assaulted and other youths were beaten.
The attackers took cash, cameras and mobile phones and escaped in two stolen vehicles.
The governor of Mexico State, Eruviel Avila, has promised to do everything possible to catch those responsible.
About 90 members of the Christian youth group were camping in tents in the Colibri ecological park near the town of Ixtapaluca, about 35km (22 miles) outside Mexico City.
The attackers burst into the camp at around midnight on Thursday firing shots into the air, the victims said.
The campers were rounded up and held at gunpoint while their belongings were ransacked and some were assaulted.
The park is in a hilly region with no mobile phone coverage so it was some time before the alarm was raised.
Mexican newspapers have questioned why there was not better security at the site.

Wow! Thank you, oldlady. That's very nice of you. I'll call them but the shipping will probably negate the savings. If Heidi wants it (Let me know, Heidi), she can have first dibs but I think she is in the Northwest and the shipping for her would really be a killer.
Thanks Jim, but yes, I think shipping would be a killer. I'll stick with NZ6 until I see Frost at Seattle Pottery Supply.

Arencibia finishes Blue Jays' epic rally vs. Rays
Catcher's two-run homer in ninth completes seven-run comeback
ST. PETERSBURG -- J.P. Arencibia's Monday began on a sour note but finished with a bang, as the catcher capped the Blue Jays' largest come-from-behind victory in almost six years.
Arencibia arrived at Tropicana Field earlier in the day without a spot in the lineup card, as manager John Gibbons made a surprise decision to switch things up and go with veteran backup Henry Blanco instead.
Gibbons admitted the decision didn't sit well with his starting catcher, but in the end, it didn't matter because Arencibia entered in the sixth and eventually hit a go-ahead homer to help offset what previously had been a seven-run deficit to earn an 8-7 victory over the Rays.
"J.P. plays to win as much as anybody, more than most, and he cares," Gibbons said. "He wasn't really happy that he wasn't in there, but he said, 'I'll be ready if you need me,' and sure enough -- that's what he does. He can burn you."
Toronto found itself seemingly down and out after just three innings as Mark Buehrle suffered through another nightmare outing on the mound. But little by little, the Blue Jays chipped away and surprisingly turned the would-be blowout into a thriller.
The comeback began in the fourth on a two-run homer by Colby Rasmus and an RBI single by Melky Cabrera. Two more scored in the sixth on another two-run shot, this time by pinch-hitter Mark DeRosa.
From that point on, it was a tight ballgame. An error by Rays shortstop Yunel Escobar led to another run in the eighth, but Toronto seemed incapable of taking that final step despite multiple opportunities to put additional runs on the board.
Even the ninth started on the right note, as the club had a runner on third base with nobody out. But after Rasmus struck out and Maicer Izturis grounded out to first, another crushing defeat seemed imminent. At least, until Arencibia stepped to the plate.
Arencibia went down to his final strike but then unloaded on a 2-2 fastball from Rays closer Fernando Rodney and sent it into the left-field seats to put Toronto in front for the first time. Arencibia's had a number of dramatic moments in his career, but this one will rank near the top.
"I was so happy, I think I was fist pumping," Arencibia said of his reaction. "I don't know if I did a combination of Kirk Gibson's fist pump, I almost fell a few times rounding the bases. I was just so excited that we were able to get the lead."
The seven-run deficit was the biggest the Blue Jays have overcome since June 5, 2007, in a game that also came against Tampa Bay. It couldn't have come at a much better time for Toronto, as the club desperately attempts to overcome a slow start.
Arencibia has done his part. He entered Monday's game leading all Major League catchers with eight homers, 16 RBIs, 15 extra-base hits and 58 total bases. Those numbers look even better after Monday and, ironically, come on a day when Arencibia was the pregame storyline because of his surprise absence.
None of that really seems to matter right now, though, as Toronto can celebrate the fact that Rodney blew his second save of the season and the club escaped with a rare victory at Tropicana Field -- a place that has been notoriously tough on the Blue Jays.
"It's just part of the game," Rodney said. "I feel sorry for what happened, because the bullpen couldn't hold the lead. ... Tomorrow is another day. We come the same, focused for tomorrow. Keep your head up."
The offensive onslaught helped overshadow an ugly night on the mound for Buehrle. The veteran lefty entered the game having allowed the most home runs per nine innings in the American League with 2.1. The well-documented problems continued versus Tampa Bay, as it was a pair of homers in the third that proved to be his undoing.
All seven runs were scored in the third as the Rays sent 10 batters to the plate on six hits and a walk. The biggest blow came off the bat of third baseman Evan Longoria, who sent a 2-1 pitch over the wall in left for the third grand slam of his career. Three batters later, Luke Scott added a two-run shot and the game appeared to be out of hand.
Buehrle has remained composed throughout his rough April and now May, but the failed expectations to date have to be taking their toll. The run support he received on Monday night at least makes it easier to swallow this time around.
"It's frustrating, I'm not doing much to help this team win right now," said Buehrle, who was charged with all seven runs on nine hits and two walks. "This is a huge win, these guys battled back today. As soon as I gave up seven, we could have just rolled over and gave up, but this offense went out and battled and got us the win."
The Blue Jays have now won two consecutive games for just the second time this season. For the first time this year, there are signs of life at the plate, as the club has scored a combined 18 runs over that brief span.
Momentum doesn't really exist in baseball because so much is left up to the next day's starting pitcher, but runs can become contagious, and the Blue Jays are hoping this small sample size of games will eventually multiply into an extended run.
Arencibia's homer might be the aberration, but it also could be one of the turning points.
"It's definitely huge, they always play us well, and they play everybody well, for that fact," Arencibia said. "They have a great pitching staff over there, and usually when they put seven on the board, they're usually going to have a pretty good night. Fortunately, we were able to come back and answer and swing the bats."

Activities for boys: Five things to make and do
Snips and snails and puppy dogs' tails, that's what little boys are made of.
Little boys are also made of lots of cuddles and an overwhelming urge to figure out how things work. Hence all those ballpoint pens pulled apart in the name of 'discovery'.
If you have a boy, you've probably already figured out that life is much more fun if you stop saying 'no' and just embrace their thirst for hands-on knowledge and intrepid exploration.
Boys are terrific, if a little accident-prone. Keeping these little heat-seeking missiles busy and their minds active is the secret to a happy family life.
So if you are looking for great activity ideas for boys aged about five and up, we've compiled five boy-approved activities with how-to videos that will keep your little man amused and out of trouble.
Make your own lava lamp
This is a great one for a few reasons: it involves some good old-fashioned recycled crafting and, when he drops the fizzy tablet into the lamp, your little boy is in charge of the action - right where he likes to be. Plus there's hours of meditative amusement watching the bubbles in the lava lamp pop and explode.
Instructions on how to make your own lava lamp
How to make green gooey slime
Who says the kitchen is a woman's domain? You won't be able to keep your little bloke away from the bench when it's time to make goo. It's okay to stick your hands in and squish the goo around. In fact, it's the most important part of the process.

Construct your own rubber band CD car
This is a great rainy day afternoon project that also has a practical mechanics element to it that will give your son an idea of how engines work. Boys love to take charge with this sort of thing. So don't micromanage, let him do it himself and only step in when he asks for help.

How to make a cool bubble snake maker
Bubbles, bubbles everywhere! Another great recycling activity resulting in a cheap homemade toy that will get your boy playing outside for hours. Why not challenge him to make the longest bubble snake he can?

Make a fleet of peg airplanes
Got a plane spotter on your hands? What better way to improve your little guy's fine-motor skills than an activity that involves the object of his fascination? Making a whole fleet and painting them different colours adds to the fun.

But today, the Iraqi Sunnis that rejected Al Qaeda are turning against the government in great numbers, enraged by their perception that Nuri Maliki and his allies mean to turn Sunnis into a permanent underclass in a Shia-dominated country. The tens of thousands of Sunnis marching in the streets of Iraq's Sunni cities in recent weeks have shouted the same slogans that Syrians shouted in Deraa and Hama in early 2011 ("The people want the fall of the regime") and waved the flags of the Free Syrian Army. Indeed, the deadly clashes between Sunni protesters and government troops in Fallujah recently have had the distinct feel of the early days of the Syrian rebellion.
The Sunnis of Iraq and Syria also share an angry perception that Iraq's Shia parties are intervening in the Syrian conflict. Indeed, reports from Syria tell us that Iraqi Shia militants are arriving in increasing numbers to "defend" the Shia shrine of Zaynab (daughter of the Imam Ali) by fighting alongside the Assad regime against Sunni rebels. In this polarized atmosphere, Al Qaeda in Iraq and its Nusrah branch will have a wide open window of opportunity to step up attacks against the Iraqi government—and the Iraqi Shia community, for that matter—from the bases that Nusrah is establishing inside Syria. When they do, they will likely find a high level of popular support in an Iraqi Sunni community that is moving ever closer to revolt against the Maliki government.
We can envision, then, a sectarian war raging across the whole of the Fertile Crescent, drawing in all the former territories of Turkish Arabia. The prospect will be a frightening one for the region's major powers. Both Turkey and Saudi Arabia could one day find chaos rather than functioning states on their permeable borders. If Al Qaeda/Nusrah can establish a base in Jordan, Saudi Arabia will find itself threatened by Al Qaeda franchises on both north and south that will be well-positioned to resume the pursuit of Al Qaeda's core goal of toppling the Saudi monarchy and "liberating" the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.

Timing right for Corbett-led trade trip to Brazil, Chile, experts say
International business experts in Pittsburgh praised Gov. Tom Corbett's plan to travel to Brazil and Chile on a trade mission next spring, a trip his office announced Thursday.
Pennsylvania's exports to the two growing countries have tripled in recent years, totaling $1.6 billion combined in 2011, according to Census data and the U.S. Commercial Service in Pittsburgh. They're buying products from mining, heavy equipment and transportation companies — all businesses strong in Pennsylvania, the experts said.
With global events like the World Cup and the Olympics awarded to Brazil, and a growing oil drilling industry in the region, now is the time for engineering and design companies, environmental technology manufacturers, and oil and gas companies to move in, too. Small- and medium-sized businesses stand to gain the most from a goodwill trip from Corbett, they said.
"I think this is a perfect time, it's a crucial time, it's a much-needed time ... for Americans to go to Brazil, engage, meet with potential distributors because the market is growing," said Brent Rondon, a native of Peru and manager of the global business program at Duquesne University's Small Business Development Center. "And when there's growth, there's opportunities."
The nonprofit business development organization Team Pennsylvania Foundation is funding the governor's participation on the 10-day trip in April. Businesses will pay a fee of $3,000 or $5,000 — depending on their size — for translators and guides to help them meet potential business partners and fund the governor's travel, said Matt Zieger, CEO of Team Pennsylvania.
The governor and his staff can get local businessmen access to high-ranking officials whom they otherwise may not be able to meet and can help coordinate follow-up communications at home, said Ravi Madhavan, professor of business administration at the University of Pittsburgh. The governor's presence also helps convince people in Brazil and Chile that their markets are important to Pennsylvania, good will that should not be underestimated, said Lyn Doverspike, director of the U.S. Commercial Service in Pittsburgh.
Latin American countries have long been overshadowed by Europe and Asia but are gaining more attention from years spent reforming and modernizing their markets and legal systems, Rondon said. Chile, bolstered by a free-trade agreement signed in 2004, grew to $317 million of exports just from Pennsylvania in 2011. Brazil, bolstered by widespread economic growth, is now topping $1 billion in exports annually from the state, the eighth most worldwide.
Team Pennsylvania is looking to take 15 to 20 companies on the trip, concentrating on small businesses, Zieger said. That's key, said Henry Posner III, chairman of Green Tree-based Railroad Development Corp., which has done business in several Latin American countries. Small businesses with about 100 or fewer workers can gain experience and support from the trip, but larger companies usually have the type of resources and the position where they don't need the help, Posner said.
"You hear lots of speeches and flailing around, and anybody who's looking to make a deal on a trade mission is probably wasting their time," he added. "However, what it does do: It gets people who wouldn't otherwise go to dip their toe in the water, visit these countries and see what it's like to get a sense of the landscape so they might go back."

ELLE's Creative Director, Joe Zee, spent two days in Paris dressing Victoria Beckham (and dodging paparazzi) for the January cover story. Here, he shares the details behind a day in life of one of the most watched women in the world.
Victoria was in Paris for our cover shoot and to attend the Louis Vuitton and Chanel runway shows. We were set up at the Ritz hotel—here, she was getting her makeup done by Fulvia Farolfi while her son Cruz was running around.
We're at the top of the Ferris wheel, with Gilles Bensimon riding in the car with Victoria and taking our pictures, while the paparazzi were swarming below, waiting to get their own pictures when she got off. It was the once place in Paris they couldn't get to!

About Andy Kehoe
Inspired by folk tales, mythology, and the grandeur of nature, Andy Kehoe creates subtle, quiet visual narratives through which he explores such timeless themes as love, mortality, alienation, and betrayal. In his richly detailed paintings on wood panels, Kehoe conjures a strange forest world, washed in the deep colors of autumn and populated by somber yet comical part-human, part-animal hybrid creatures with mournful eyes and sloping shoulders. His cartoonish aesthetic and whimsical cast of creatures tempers the sad poignancy of his work.

Comrades of an Afghan soldier who shot and killed three Australian diggers last year in an insider attack appear to have known in advance of their colleague's intentions.
An inquiry into the so-called ''green on blue'' attack in October 2011 at the Sorkh Bed patrol base in northern Kandahar province has found that the shooter was targeting Australians but appeared not to have any connection to the Taliban insurgency.
Afghan Sergeant Darwish shot and killed Captain Bryce Duffy, 26, Corporal Ashley Birt, 22, and Lance Corporal Luke Gavin, 29. An Afghan interpreter was also killed and seven Australian soldiers were wounded.
Australian soldiers, some of whom were themselves wounded, immediately returned fire, killing Darwish.
''There is evidence to suggest other individuals ... were aware of his intent prior to the incident,'' the report states.
Releasing the report Friday morning, the Vice Chief of the Defence Force, Air Marshal Mark Binskin, said that a close colleague of Darwish's, who was most likely to have known about his intentions, had deserted several days before the shooting.
The report states that Darwish was likely ''targeting ADF personnel'' when he opened fire from 10 to 15 metres away from the Australians about 8.20am, October 29 as they were congregating after a morning parade.
But there was no evidence any other soldier had ''actively supported'' Darwish. Air Marshal Binskin said the shooter's intentions might never be known.
He said there had been ''a very thorough examination of this aspect of the incident including all available intelligence''.
''This examination has found there is no evidence that anyone actively supported Darwish.''
No action had been taken against other Afghans who might have had advance warning because the Australians could not prove they knew anything substantial, he added.
''One of the close colleagues of Darwish went AWOL about two or three days before, so we were never able to talk to him,'' he said.
Air Marshal Binskin commended the actions of the junior officers for the way they reacted ''under very extreme circumstances''.
Captain Duffy and Corporal Birt were pronounced dead on arrival at the main base at Tarin Kot. Doctors operated on Lance Corporal Gavin for several hours but he later died of his wounds.
''Clearly the situation in the patrol base Sorkh Bed was very tense immediately following the shooting,'' Air Marshal Binskin said.
''To their credit, the Australian personnel at the base responded in a calm and measured way.''
The inquiry also examined an insider attack at Nasir patrol base in eastern Oruzgan province on November 8 in which three Australian soldiers and two Afghans were shot and wounded.
Afghan soldier Mohammad Rozi opened fire with a 50 calibre machine gun on Australian and Afghan soldiers who were barbecuing and watching a movie. He fired from a high-ground overwatch position, about 300 metres from the Australians. When that gun jammed, he began firing with an automatic weapon.
Australians returned fire. Rozi fled, initially pursued by other Afghan soldiers, but escaped in a stolen ANA vehicle. He is still on the run and has since appeared in insurgency videos, though Air Marshal Binskin said there was no evidence he was connected with the insurgency at the time of the shooting.
''Without an opportunity to question Rozi, it's unclear why exactly he opened fire.''
The stolen vehicle was found burning in a village about three kilometres away. He was likely to have escaped with the help of local sympathisers, the report concluded.
''Again, to their credit, the Australian personnel responded in a calm and balanced way,'' Air Marshal Binskin said.
He vowed that the ADF with the help of the ANA and other coalition forces, would continue to pursue Rozi and Sergeant Hekmatullah - an ANA soldier who killed three Australians in late August at a patrol valley in the Baluchi Valley.
''They are murderers and attempted murderers and we will pull out all efforts to bring them to justice. There is no place where they can feel safe,'' he said.

>Running 101>Long run frustration
I am a new runner. (I ran for about seven months, got a pelvic sfx and was off for eight months, then started running again last November.) I have built my base miles to 30-35 mpw and am currently preparing for my first HM in September. At this point, I have run eight runs over 10 miles, with my longest at 13. On every single one, I am good until about 7-8 miles, then I crash, with absolutely no energy reserves. If I stop and rest a few minutes, eat some sugar and drink a bit, I can continue, and I generally finish fairly well, though sometimes I end up having to walk off and on for the last couple of miles. Where I run is somewhat hilly, so 10-13 mile runs end up with about 800-1000' elevation gain. I want to be able to run continuously, without the crash and burn. I carry water and have tried a gel or raisins at about mile 8, but I end up with stomach cramps that make it hard to run. I know a lot of runners say you shouldn't need food for such a short distance, but I don't know what else to do to keep going. My comfortable pace is between 10:15 and 11:00 minute miles and I haven't noticed any real difference between my slower runs and my faster ones, though I know I usually start out too fast. Given the timing, about 80 minutes into the run, is it simply a matter of glycogen depletion, and my body will eventually adjust? Should I be doing more gels? To build endurance, the usual refrain is 'run more' but at this point I don't expect to build my weekly mileage a whole lot beyond 40-45, since my buildup has been fairly rapid as it is.
an amazing likeness
According to a glance at your running log...the long runs are quite a stretch from your usual workouts. Adding some workouts in the 7,8 or 10 mile range looks like it would give you better balance. It is unlikely to be related to needing to onboard gycogen, nearly everyone has plenty of calories stored for a 13 mile run. Since many of your runs are 3 - 4 miles...you may just need to change up your workout routine to train your body for the longer runs.
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)

I agree with milktruck. Also, its possible that you are running your LRs too fast, and/or your nutrition before your LR isn't as carby as it should be. Your "short" runs should probably be more like 4-6 miles even if it means running a day less per week.
2 Mile: 17: 11 5k PR: 27:45 5 Mile: 44:11 10K: 59:01 Half: 2:15:59 Marathon: 5:50:07
Looking at your log, I would throw in some days off every now and then. Recovery is a key component of training. Also just to give an example, I have a medium size frame and sit around 190 lbs. I'll go a through weight lifting regime a few times a year becuase for me I find that increased strength allows me to carry my weight wait longer and faster.
I'm running 5 days a week, with 3 runs at 4-6 miles, one long (10 +) and one 6-7 miles.
If you ask
Seems to me you're running your long runs too fast (IMHO). I'm only suggesting this bc my comfortable runs (solo run, no effort) are about a 9:30 m/m, my speed runs from 8:00- 8:45 m/m, so my LSR is 10-10:30 m/m. It's a slow, conversational pace.
Just for an experiment, try a 10 mile run at 12 MPM. Run/walk if you can't make yourself run that slow. Let us know if that helps.
Queen of 3rd Place
My experience leads me to agree with MilkTruck. Getting in a mid-week "medium long" run does wonders for how strong I feel during long runs. Rule of thumb for medium long runs is that they should take you about 90 min to complete and generally not take longer than 2 hrs. Since you're comfortable up to 7 or 8, that would be a great place to start. Pace should be similar to your easy runs.
Your long runs can be a little slower than your easy runs. It's better to slow down and be able to complete the run than to have to stop. You definitely should get to the point where you don't need to eat. Sometimes an upset stomach is because you're drinking too much water and get kind of sloshy - yuck. If you really need to eat (for now), experiment with different foods and don't be afraid to get edgy. I was shocked to find out while training for an ultra that my body really liked salami on rye with tons of mustard - go figure.
Personally, a really easy day (maybe even just a very slow 2 mi) always makes me more refreshed than straight-up rest. Some people go for a walk or a bicycle ride. Some people really do need that day off. You'll have to experiment. But the more miles you can get in every week, the better that long run is going to go.
Ex runner
some call me Tim
I also live in a very hilly area, and would encourage you to think about effort level as well as pace. If you happen to be running your long runs a bit too fast with lots of hills, it may amount to essentially a long interval workout, which iirc is the 'best' way to deplete glycogen quickly because at higher %vo2max intensity the body favors glycogen more as an energy source(this is from Noakes, but I'd have to look it up). So the uphills would function as your interval and downhills or flats the recoveries that allow you to get more work in at that intensity without having to stop. It ought to be easy enough to test - dial back the intensity (12mpm or something like JRMichler suggests) and you ought to be able to go for *much* longer with no issues at your current fitness level.
Half Fanatic #846
If I hydrate adequately (sports drink in my case) the day before a long run, I find that makes a difference, too.
"I don't always roll a joint, but when I do, it's usually my ankle" - unk. Run like the winded
I ran half my last race on my left foot! "Frankly autocorrect, I'm getting a bit tired of your shirt"
I second (third? 10th?) Milk Truck. Hate to say it, but right now you may not have the fitness to do the run the way you want to do it.
More weekly miles would support your long run. Six days a week would help get more miles, plus a midweek moderate long run. Are you following a training plan?
Where I run is somewhat hilly, so 10-13 mile runs end up with about 800-1000' elevation gain. I want to be able to run continuously, without the crash and burn.
This is why it is hard. Hilly terrain can really take a toll on you. I say stick with 10 miles as the max distance of your long run until you can do it as a continuous run. No need to flog yourself until your fitness level increases a little bit. I doubt it is a glycogen issue unless you run on an empty stomach and haven't eaten anything for many hours prior. Keep at it. Sometimes progress in running is slow. Patience and persistance is key.
"When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up against them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels." Ezekiel 1:21
I did my LR today on the TM, mostly because of the heat and humidity, but also to work on slowing down. I incorporated a lot of the suggestions here: yesterday was a rest day, I kept the pace slower, and I kept the incline low (1-2). I did 13.5 without any trouble. I do intend to lengthen my MLR as well over the next weeks, which should also help.
Thank you for the suggestions. I know I need to work on the slow pace outside. It's hard, when the uphills feel so slow and difficult, to know what easy pace actually is. Right now, anything flat or downhill feels easy, which is why I end up running too fast on my long runs. At least I know I can run 13 without too much trouble, which is a big boost. I was starting to wonder if LD racing was going to be possible for me. I have until September to figure out how to go fast on hills without a crash and burn, but for now, slow and easy will be the ticket.
I'm not following a plan. Higdon's mileage is too low. I was warned off the Runners World plans. We plan on doing some travel off and on this summer, which means I have no idea how consistent I will be able to be while on the road. My plan has been to just increase my base mileage as time allowed. I plan to try to maintain the current level, increase it if possible, and do speed work once a week plus some informal speed work on the shorter runs. We'll see how that works. It's a first race, so by default it will be a PR. I just want it to be something I enjoy, not some sort of death march to the finish line.
Awesome that you had some positive feedback from your run(!), and I can totally relate to problems finding easy intensity on hills. And as it is with me, I can imagine that it's tough for you to find a non-hilly route without having to drive a ways to get to it. I think you should still do what feels natural on the downhills... it's great training and my limited experience has been that I can reel people in on downhills during races because I've gotten such regular practice at running them efficiently. It's so common for inexperienced runners to pass on downhills and get passed back on the next uphill that I feel like being able to pass on the downhill and hold deals a definite psychological blow.
Running slow enough on the uphills is hard, but again I think it's another great skill set to work on if you think about it in those terms and not just another thing to endure. That way you not only have a specific purpose to your workout, but little subset skills you're working on. It's possible I'm just geeking out here, but that kind of focus really helps me to enjoy the run and to be able to review my progress later in a sort of abstract way, rather than relying entirely on numbers to track my progress.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/12/2012 (1695 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg Free Press columnist Lindor Reynolds' piece on the Newtown, Conn., shooting tragedy is one of the best columns of 2012, says the Daily Beast website.
Reynolds was the only Canadian writer mentioned on a list of writers that include Mitch Albom, author of Tuesdays With Morrie, and Gail Collins of the New York Times.
Reynolds wrote her column 'Love Wins in Newtown' after going to Connecticut to cover the funeral of former Winnipegger Ana Márquez-Greene, a six-year-old killed in a mass shooting at Sandy Hook School.
The Daily Beast, a U.S. news and opinion website that merged with Newsweek, calls the column "harrowing and heartening."
"The slaughter of 20 school children in Newtown spurred heartfelt columns and a national debate about gun violence. But members of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists recommended this effort by Canadian Lindor Reynolds on the funeral of six-year-old Ana Márquez-Greene," says the website.
Her piece is one of 12 commended as the best of the year.
"We are delighted that Lindor's moving portrait of Ana's funeral earned this recognition," said Free Press editor Paul Samyn.
"When we sent Lindor on this assignment to Newtown, we told her to find a way to connect readers in our city to the tragedy at Sandy Hook that transfixed the world. Not only did she deliver for our readers, but Lindor's words clearly moved others across the United States watching the extensive media coverage of the shock and sorrow that flowed from that shooting."
"Ana was one of ours. She belonged to our city, to the members of her church family, her friends, to the collective of moms and dads and grandparents of our city. She died in America, in this small, lovely town where residents believed they were out of harm's way.
They were wrong. One of the first billboards you see leaving Hartford's airport directs you to a gun store. Under the circumstances, it's a sucker punch," Reynolds wrote.
"The column was raw, on-the-ground reporting. I wanted to convey the raw emotion in Newtown a week after the killings and a day before Ana Marquez-Greene was buried. There was tremendous sorrow, but also an almost defiant feeling of hope and forgiveness," Reynolds said.
Reynolds has extensive accolades for her prior work, including being a three-time finalist for the Michener Awards, and the winner of the Will Roger Humanitarian Award. She has also been the first place winner of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists on three occasions.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Saint Leo freshman runner Jelena Tancic earned All-Sunshine State Conference Women's Cross Country Team honors, and was chosen as the 2013 Freshman Runner of the Year, league officials announced Tuesday.
The freshman from Erlangen, Germany captured the very first 2013 SSC Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week presented by VALIC on Sept. 9 after winning her first-ever race at the USF Invitational. Tancic then won a second race at the FLRunners.com Invitational to earn her second player of the week accolade on Sept. 30. She finished the SSC Championship in second with a career-best 6K time of 22:04.
Seven student-athletes in total have been named to the 2013 All-SSC squad. Nova Southeastern's Alexandria Palm was named Runner of the Year, and Tampa's head coach Jarrett Slaven was selected Coach of the Year.
Joining Tancic and Palm on the all-conference team were: Peri Bowman (Nova Southeastern), Chantelle Blundell (Tampa), Claudia Cancello (Tampa), Danielle Kissel (Tampa) and Gabrielle Wuyke (Lynn).
Palm captured the SSC individual women's cross country title for the second consecutive year. This year, she finished the 6K race in a time of 21:50. The Winnebago, Ill. native had three top-10 finishes in 2013, including sixth at the University of Florida Mountain Dew Invitational on Sept. 14, and seventh at the Florida State Invitational on Oct. 11.
Slaven claims his seventh-straight SSC Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year award after leading his Tampa squad to a seventh consecutive conference title. In his 15 seasons at Tampa, the Spartans have won the league title 11 times. In 2013, Tampa finished first at three of its five regular-season events. Five Spartan runners earned All-Championship honors by placing in the top-10 at the conference championships. Blundell came in third, Kissel came in fifth, Cancello was sixth, Kelly Hagan was eighth and Vanessa Righeimer was ninth.
Voting for the All-SSC Women's Cross Country Team was conducted among the league cross country coaches.

text: For the first time in 50 years, the sizzle is silent at Griff's Hamburgers on Irving Boulevard. The iconic burger joint, which opened in the A-frame building in 1963, closed its doors for a rebuild on Jan. 1. The fast-food restaurant will be demolished soon to make way for a drive-thru on a more modernized building. But one thing is sure to remain the same — the sign. Griff's of America's mascot Griffy will stay perched on top of original 1963 sign that will continue to adorn Irving Boulevard. Griff's trademark orders over the loudspeaker will also remain. "The taste will remain the same and our customers can expect the same great service," said Ida White, Griff's Irving unit manager who has worked at the store 20 years. Harvey Fattig, Griff's of America vice president, said the Irving location will be demolished Feb. 4 or 7, but will be back up and running in mid-May. "It's a profitable location and well-known in the community," Fattig said. "It's a good investment for us because it's a vibrant area." Fattig said Griff's of America is working on renovating and upgrading seven of its Dallas-Fort Worth locations. Most recently the Garland location on Jupiter Road was upgraded. "We have a new sign, but the city of Irving requested we keep the original sign because it fits in with the heritage of the city."

Autobiographical sketch of Rev. A. J. Hansen, D.D. Part 1
1932-1936 — California
Written by himself 1932-1936
(He was a retired minister and senior member of the California Methodist Episcopal Church)
According to an entry on the fly-leaf of Mother's Bible, I was born in Fremont county, southwestern corner of Iowa, October 11, 1850. Both Father and Mother had been previously married, leaving children in each case, but I came first of a family of seven children - two boys and five girls, all but myself having birthplace in Mills Co. on a farm some twenty miles east of the Missouri River, Glenwood being the county seat. My father was a sturdy native of Norway who had come over to America a good many years before my birth, first settling in Minnesota and becoming father of four children, one of whom is still living at the age of 100 in Spokane, Washington, in care of a daughter considerably younger than myself.
My father was a hard working man. He was a successful farmer and was quick to adopt farming methods that would improve his living and working conditions. He was very good to me and was always concerned about my education and welfare.
My Mother and her people, the Terry's , came from Canada. They were very devoted members of the Latter-Day Saint Church. Her family had gone on to settle in Utah and Mother was very desirous of joining them. Her brothers, who were assigned missionaries to the Gentiles, were often in our home. They kept coaxing her to join her family and friends in the west. Her parent's wrote frequently of their home in Utah and their desire to see her. Both of these things caused her to be unhappy with her lot.
Affairs came to such a state in our home that father finally agreed to fit out a wagon for her and she, with the children, started for Utah in company with my half-brother, William Crawford. I chose to remain with my father and later came with him to California.
After four months of travel with a well-proportioned team of four horses and plenty of pasture along most of the devious and interesting road via Salt Lake City and around the Great Lake to the north, and then down the sluggish Humbolt River, and finally across to Honey Lake, we climbed the Sierras and followed the Feather River down to Marysville, or rather to what is now Yuba City. Having recruited our teams for a week or two, we pushed on down to Sacramento, reaching our journeys end about the middle of September.
Satisfied that California would suit as a future residence, father soon disposed of team and wagon and arranged for a homeward trip by "Overland Stage", the first section of which was a ride by railway train to Folsom, a live mining town some twenty miles away. And thence it was by old line stagecoach through and over the Sierras, first to Carson City, where father met the governor, an old-time friend, and we got some sense of the wild excitement over the wonderful discoveries of gold and silver ores conception of what the discovery of the Comstock Lode, in what has since been known as Virginia City, was to mean to San Francisco and the other great centers in our state.
Page 53
Onward, night and day, pushed our strong vehicle, first to Salt Lake City via a route south of the Humboldt and Desert, where we saw the far famed "Pony Express" in operation and numbers of stalwart men planting great poles and stringing strong wires from one to the next, creating the wonderful Overland Telegraph, speady bearer of news from "The Battle Front" where brave Americans from North and South were struggling in deadly conflict to settle the supreme question of our country's future. California's interest in that matter was at white heat then and even the speeding "Pony Express" couldn't bring the news fast enough. It gives one a thrill even now in these far-off years to think of having been alive then, and to find that we have today a United Country, under the ever glorious Flag of the Free.
A stop-over in Salt Lake City for a Sunday gave us opportunity to inquire as to the other part of our severed family- Mother and the other children. But we found no one who knew anything about them. Curiosity was gratified in having a chance that Sunday evening to see and hear that notable personage Brigham Young, at a gathering of the Saints in one of the ward school houses.
He was issuing a call for volunteers to move into Southern Utah, raise cotton and sugar cane, and so provide clothing and food articles, and by that means become more independent of "The Gentiles". Bad boy, as I surely was, I was greatly shocked by the profanity which he employed in stressing the virtues of "Home Products" such as tobacco, so easily produced on the fertile lands along the banks of the Jordan River just south of the city. I may say that in my more mature years I have come to appreciate the shrewdness and statesmanship of this clever dictator and rank pretender, by whose undisputed sway for more than a quarter of the last century a great state with multitudes of sober, steady going people, who in many ways furnished us an example of what can be accomplished under the rigid regime of industry and sobriety imposed upon them by Brigham Young.
Day and night our stage pounded on with only an occasional stop for meals and change of horses, and at length, after 18 days of actual travel, Father and I were safely deposited in Council Bluffs, Iowa, about the 15th of October. My eleventh birthday had occurred on the way, and was celebrated by the customary supply of crackers and cheese which we had in store for the journey.
We found our way down to the old home place some thirty miles away and found our tenant in full swing of pomposity and big talk, as he claimed to have been in California himself sometime before we made the trip, and had to his credit some notable achievements of very doubtful moral character. He seemingly had been hoping that Father would never return and that he would become easy possessor of that fine Iowa farm. And so we enjoyed the old home during the late fall and winter – part of my time being taken with study in the district school, something in which I had never before been interested. Father became more restless and by early spring concluded to sell the farm, which he did at a scandalously low price (only $2500) and made preparations for another trip "Across the Plains".
This time it was to be away out to the Pacific Northwest to the Gold Fields of the Salmon River, somewhere in the wonderful region since included in the state of Idaho. That journey, which began with ox-teams early in May and ended late in September in Portland Oregon, embraced happenings of a highly sensational character, which I have set forth in a fuller account not just now at hand. Of one thing I am certain, if the marauder who, with others, invaded our unguarded encampment one night out in Southern Wyoming, crept into our tent and took a rifle from under the pillow of Father and myself, had aimed better as I stood in the open doorway, something like seventy-four years of my earthly career would have been clipped off then and there. That
Page 54
Bullet hole, close to where I stood, was for many a day a reminder of my narrow escape.
