There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
It will mean that I will never be an Andrew Luck fan. The most he will ever get from me is respect for being a good or great players. Sorry, it happens.... On a side note, this year Indy may have the dubious distinction of having cut the MVP (Peyton Manning) and the defensive player of the year (Tim Jennings). Doesn't say much about talent evaluation or coaching in Jenning's case. Something turned a hated player (Jennings) into a valuable defensive player. I wonder what the Bears saw in Jennings that made them take that chance and how they brought out that talent. Peter King talks about it in his column today. I think Chicago knew they could develop. I just wonder how they knew it?
Tim Jennings isn't winning DPOY. There is this guy named JJ Watt.
Too early to say but Jennings will be in the running....
Polian is the one who got rid of him. You always seem to blame everyone but Polian for the state of the Colts. But he was the one in charge when Jennings left. If you're going to blame anyone, it has to be Polian and Caldwell.
Manning is undefeated against the Bengals he's done more damage to them than Mike Brown has...
He had 2 picks though but he got past that.
Peyton Manning Is The Smartest Businessman Alive And An Indirect Weed Profiteer
11.07.12 Written by Danger Guerrero
As anyone who has watched any amount of television over the past few weeks knows, Peyton Manning appeared in a commercial for Papa Johns in which he creepily calls the pizza chains owner Papa instead of John for some reason, and attempts to get him to give away two million free pizzas. What you may not know, however, is that Manning has gotten into the pizza business himself recently, signing a deal to open 21 Papa Johns franchises in the Denver area. (NOTE: I like to think that after he did this Eli immediately ran out and bought a Chuck E. Cheese.) Why am I bringing this two week old story to your attention, you ask? Because this happened last night:
Colorado and Washington passed referendums legalizing marijuana for recreational use, becoming the first states in the country to legalize the drug, according to ABC News.
The initiatives would allow marijuana to be cultivated and for special stores to sell up to an ounce to individuals 21 and older. [...]
Its unprecedented, Jonathan Caulkins, a Carnegie Mellon University professor, told The Denver Post. He said the change would put Colorado to the left of the Netherlands when it comes to marijuana policy. [ABC]
To recap: Peyton Manning bought 21 pizza franchises, and two weeks later weed was legalized. So, basically

And of course, it's convenient you don't bring up the 10 other teammates on the field with Jennings. I'm sure Tillman, Urlacher, Melton, Briggs, Peppers, etc, are mirror images of his Colts teammates.
And I'm relieved to know you'll never like Luck but at least you'll respect him. Lol. Way to make an anonymous stand on the Internet against Irsay and the Colts. Lol
Peyton is throwing some ducks today
yeah he clearly lost it
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
Congrats Peyton for TD #420(how ironic considering they passed the marijuana law in Colorado earlier this week)
and his 69th 300+ game
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
I'm just glad he passed it to Stokely hopefully he'll catch the tiebreaker next week against the Chargers
I think the Broncos will lose one more game and finish with 12 wins. I wouldn't be surprised though if they ran the table for the rest of the season. That would be typical Manning.
The only curse I believe in is the one the General has laid on IU...... I want to see him win that for the fifth time... That might put it out of reach for a very long time....
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
So one loss disqualifies Matt Ryan all of a sudden? Especially in a game he played well in?
Lord knows how Luck is still in this running with the Bears/Jets games
I hope Manning wins his 5th this year!

You guessed it Masters! On this day in 1933 NFL Hall of Fame QB Johnny Unitas was born. What are you going to do to celebrate it?
Good morning Masters! Yesterday I ran 2 hours and 50 minutes on the trail. Today I am going to take a running rest day for my cutback week. I can't accurately call what I do the week before a long race as a taper. I have to take a blood test (which I have been studying for all night.) so we will have the results in time for my annual physical. I plan on lifting weights and doing some core work. If I feel ambitious I will throw in a swim also.
Have a great Johnny Unitas birthday Masters!
Ran 10 on Saturday and then did a 5.5 mile, 1,600 elevation gain hike up Saddle Mountain in the Oregon coast range on Sunday with my wife.
Today I will run 6 miles in our warm sunny weather.
Tony--I would say you are being very ambitious!
OR--Beautiful pics and I'm glad you take the time to enjoy them.
First run in four days due to snow, aches, pains, fatigue... 4.5 miles in 34:50. Labored a bit toward the end.
You all be safe out there!
Morning Masters. I knew right away when I seen the title that Tony started the dailies. Thanks for the history lesson. I'll probably celebrate it with just a few short miles. Soccer season just finished for us but my DD has tryouts for the competitive team that she wants to play for next year. So what ever I can get in before the tryouts starts will be my daily mileage. My son's communion went well yesterday. We had a nice time and enjoyed it with some family and friends after.
Tony- Nice trail run yesterday. Sure hope all that studying pays off for you, I hear those blood test can be hard. Have a good day with the lifting.
Oregon- Nice hike after that run yesterday. Nice scenery pictures along your hike as well.
0400- Glad to hear you was able to get out finally. I'm hoping all the snow and cold up north is coming to an end, I had enough of it down here.
A picture of us after the communion minus one, DD#2 for some reason didn't want to be in the picture, she wanted to be the photographer instead.
Good morning Masters! Been absent from both this forum and running for a couple days due to a combination of a busy schedule and a tender achilles I earned while taking care of some projects here at the house.
Today was scheduled as a cross training day but the forecast rain hasnt arrived yet and I start the multi-day trip back to the Stan on Wed so I bet I know how this is going to turn out.....
See everybody later. I'm goin for a run.
Good morning Masters! Sunday: 8 miles 1:20:22 - 10:03 avg. pace - recovery. Took 2 miles for my hammies to loosen up but my foot didn't complain once. Monday: SRD. Foot is good, hamstrings still tight. Plan today is to go to gym and stretch, create DIY rock shield for my trail shoes. Base building begins tomorrow and continues for the foreseeable future. Have a great day!
- Tony - Nice miles last week!
- George - Sorry to hear the news.
- night - Great post yesterday about the slowing process.
- oregon - Thanks for sharing.
- dfbourg- Nice picture.
Good morning masters
6.4 miles on another outstanding morning.
We've had some of the finest weather lately. Mid 20's this morning and temperatures will climb into the 70's throughout the day. Yesterday there was frost in some places and the temperature rose to the 60's as the day moved along.
There wasn't a hint of a cloud in the sky this morning yet the reservoir had a thick layer of fog covering it. Right out of a Stephen King novel.
Owls and turkey added to the morning.
Have a great day friends....work hard
Hi gang,
I was able to get 5 in this morning between rain. Rain, rain, rain all weekend. Rainy today. I think our drought is over. Anyway, kind of a coolish morning but a nice run, slowly seeing the sluggy legs disappear plus its always good to start the week with the monday morning run.
Nothing yesterday, dh and I went to Bloomington to see dd2 and go out for lunch. Now that dgd is here healthy and wonderful, and dd1 doing ok, I focus on dd2 leaving for Ghana in 3 weeks. yikes I've been ignoring that fact.
Might go to st class after school. If not, then yoga.
Have a great day everyone!
george: Just so sad and tragic for your bil and all the families involved. So sorry to hear this.
tc: yeah, glad you check in, miss your daily stuff but boy I know why. I did get to hold the dgd and going tomorrow to help out while her husband goes back to work.
tony: thanks for the start and I just have to comment on your saying "IF I feel ambitious" there is nothing not ambitious about your daily workouts. I'm betting you will throw that swim in and pass your tests with flying colors.
orr: more beautiful pictures. So the only way to post pictures is to have them on another website? It was so easy before.
0400: wow I hope your snow is gone for good now!
bourg: beautiful family picture of a very special day!
n8: enjoy that well deserved run today. rain is coming.
moth: diy rock shield sounds interesting.
nb4: another great visual for your run. I actually think I would take your cooler temps over this rain, ah maybe not. Glad to know that you are starting to feel some resolution to the neuroma. And what an inspiring story about your friend and all that he deals with on a daily basis. You both would be and are great mentors to other runners. Sorry to hear his ails are flaring up. that has to be frustrating.
Kevin: Nice running! You must be feeling good. Enjoy your six today. Great pictures as always.
Phil: Way to get outside! I don't mind running in snow as long as I can get some traction.
Drake: Congratulations on Peyton's First Communion!!
n8: Hope you had a great run!
Moth: Great news on your foot! Good luck with your base building!
nightbefore: Glad you had great weather and a couple of wildlife sightings for your run today!
Liney: Way to get up for your run this morning! Good luck in making it a double! I tend to not feel well after they take blood from me.
tww and nightbefore: I enjoyed your discussion of slowing down with age. I knew I was slowing down when they started timing me with a sundial.
Back from an easy 5 around the neighborhood loop. No sign of trouble from the achilles so life is good. Busy taking care of last minute details and errands. Supposed to be having dinner w/Opus' crew tonight. Our schedules haven't cooperated very well this trip.
Moth: Nice 8. Good to hear the foot held up too. The rock guard sounds interesting. Are you talking something on the order of a gaitor?
NB4: Sounds like an awesome run with the fog on the water and the critters and all. On summer mornings here I sometimes see deer and fox if I get out early enough.
ORR: Nice pics.
Liney: Good run. Ghana! Wow!
TonyM: I should be so "slow".....
Falcon: Your RR is on the agenda for this rainy afternoon.
Have a great day everybody and Hello to everybody yet to check in.
Hi Masters! Quick fly by as I am buried in work and will be all week. I had a really poor running week last week due to a problem with my left leg/hip/lower back, and took a couple of rest days in addition to the three days that I was off for vacation. I ended last week with eleven miles on two runs.
So, yesterday, I hit the reset button. I got up yesterday and did ten miles in 1:27:30 (8:45 pace), and did a slow recovery five in 45:14 (9:03 pace) this morning. I'll probably get a few more in at lunch. I have to travel out of town on Wed-Thurs, so running options will be limited. I'm a little sore from yard work yesterday and some other little projects over the weekend, but running is the best recovery I know of.
Tony- good long trail run! Unitas was one of my step-father's favorites.
ORR- looks like your mileage is coming back! Nice pics!
0400runner- good 4.5 miler!
dfbourg- congratulations on your son's communion!
n8simmons- hope the AT issue goes away soon! Good five!
MothAudio- good eight! It usually takes me two or three miles to loosen up also.
NB4- good 6.4 miler!
Linney- good five!
Shout outs to BOSNPM, George21, mysol, Opus, Falconfixer, LCruns, illinidave, elizabeth, fittestover40, tcoplen, DAW, jbyram, gship, goomba, tww, jeepster, and my other Master friends today!
Have good runs and good rests today!
I am about to go for a 6 mile run then off to UNC to move DD home for a short visit!
NB: Oxymoron made to laugh too! Nice 6.4 today your legs feel sore after your LR's on Mon mornings?
TWW: Nice 10
Moth A: Nice 8 for a recovery run!
RAM: Great race, a negative split means you felt good during the hard part of the race, you for you!
TC: Nice work
Tony M: Nice job on your 2 hr and 50 mins! Thanks for the post this morning, start the day learning something or remembering something!
OR: Nice 10, as all ways were pics are amazing!
0400: Nice 4.5
Drake: have a good run
N8: Nice 5
Liney: Nice 5, safe travels and visit to DD # 2!
n8: Good new on your AT!
ElB: Good luck with your left leg etc! Hopefully the rest did the trick!
BOSNPM: I hope you have a great run! Think of the moving as XTing.
Annie: You are missed! I hope all is well with you!
nice pics, and loved the trail runs. I need to get me some of those. I am in Bradenton Sarasota and locally I only have shell paths, but they are cool. As Gidget gets to longer mileage we will start going places to run.
day 3 ab challenge, and run tonight.
just checking in with ya'll!
I shortened my LR today to 11. My left knee started acting up; a little stiff and my foot was slapping the path as I ran. I wish I knew if it was all the yard work last week, the majority of which required me to be on my knees, or the intervals Saturday which is what I fear. I think I'll restrict my work today to stand-up tasks like mowing and car washing.
EIB, I thought of you today out on the trail. I came across a flock/bevy/bunch of turkey's. It felt pretty good to rest the knee so I stood there and watched them cross the path.
Liney, I'm happy for you finally getting to see/hold beautifuladorabledgd.
drake, that's a fine looking family.
ORR, holy moly that looks like a fun run.
Good runs to all today.
Dave: Nice eleven miler! Good luck with your knee!! When I was having some knee problems, it turned out that my hip was a little out, and it was putting extra strain on my knee. I was very relieved that it was easily fixed and nothing was actually wrong with my knee.
Flyin: What is your ab challenge? Shell paths sound cool to run on!
TC: Have a great day!
Moth: The rock guard sounds interesting. Are you talking something on the order of a gaitor?
No, I was referring to rock plate. I attached a thin piece of pliable plastic with duck tape to the bottom of the OEM insoles. My orthotic on top of it. Works.
quote:MothAudio - good eight! It usually takes me two or three miles to loosen up also.
What I meant was my hamstring were so tight they were on the verge of cramping. 1st mile was 11:00. Better today but still tense.
@MothAudio: I see. Makes sense. I ran a trail 50K last summer with lost of up and down and the rocks were starting to get uncomfortable toward the end. Does it have much effect on the overall stiffness or cushioning of the shoe?
Good afternoon masters
Speed work at the track today with 3x100m, 3x150m than I did a 200M TT This was a bit of an experiment as I wanted to do a TT in a fatigued state thinking whatever I would run here would be my slowest for an actual race. I also changed up shoes going to the mid distance spikes instead of sprint spikes. If I'm not coming out of the blocks or running 100% I tend to run flat to mid foot strike. The sprints spikes beat your feet up.
I found the little bit of cushion in these other shoes much more comfortable. I felt a little faster today which hopefully is a good sign. My TT was a pretty good time considering I wasn't using blocks in my form was breaking down. I did 2x50m practicing some acceleration and than my knee was bothering me so I stopped. My knees felt pretty good during warm up and cool down the 200 just strained it some and was feeling it during the 50's so I stopped.
ORR- love that mountain picture. Have a great run today
Illini- hopefully nothing to serious. Nothing bothers me more when I'm hurting from some miscellaneous activity.
Bosn- hope you had a good 6 today
EIB- good 10 yesterday, hope you get in your lunch run
N8- nice 5, glad the AT is okay
Liney- yea it was suppose to rain here all weekend, it finally rained last night in this morning but by 9:30 the sun was out and it a beautiful day here. good 5
NB4- 20's* to 70 holy cow
Moth- take care of the hammies they can stick around for awhile
dbourg- congrats on your sons communion yesterday and good luck to DD
Tony- Jonny was one of the greats. I really only saw him at the end of his career but the highlights and stats don't lie, one of the greats. Way to go on your 2+ trail run.
flying- have a good run tonight
Finally made it by today. 7.0 miles around the neighborhood at 8:28 avg pace. Hip was acting up today, but I have concluded it is not running related. The mattress at the hotel this weekend was very firm, and being a side sleeper, that put a lot of stress on my hip. Not a show stopper, just annoying. I spend about 4 months of each year in hotels or our camper bed, so that's a lot of nights on less than optimal mattresses.
Had a great birthday weekend down at the beach even though the weather was terrible. Had some great seafood, lots of good wine, and a bit of sightseeing. The meet was not so good - the wind blew 20-25 mph ALL day and it rained from the third event until the end. Times were slow across all events due to the wind. Not a huge deal since the top 4 in each event moved on to the state meet next week, but it does mean they will all be seeded low due to the slow times. We are taking one guy in the 110 and 300 hurdles. For the second year in a row, the same kid who runs the 3rd leg of our 4 x 800 showed up sick. Last year it didn't make a huge difference even though he bombed with a 2:25. (He's a solid 2:10 guy). This year we were firmly in first place through 1 mile, than the sick guy turned a 2:20, which dropped us to 6th. My anchor made up the difference into 3rd place, but couldn't hold off 2 kickers who passed him right at the line. The difference between 3rd and 5th (us) was 0.8 seconds, or .1 second per lap!! I was so upset for the boys. Two are seniors and one is moving away. So it will be from scratch next year, except the bright spot of the remaining sophomore who ran a 2:04, season best. Overall, our team finished 12/21 teams, which is up from our usual near-basement finish. I'll take that.
gship - great race and RR!! How are things feeling today? Great that things held together for you.
NB4 - well, after a 30+ mile week in the Vomeros, I am going to revisit them longer term. The shoe box is so much roomier. I am not thrilled with the forefoot cushion, but they will suffice while I do more research. Since my pronation is slight on teh left, I thing I will be OK in a neutral shoe again.
George - nice 8+ yesterday. So sorry to hear that sad news. Thought go out to your extended family and everyone else involved.
Tony - as a diehard BALTIMORE Colts fan, thanks for the daily title. I was 8 years old when I got to see Johnny Unitas play in an exhibition game for the Colts at the old Memorial Stadium. I don't think I realized at the time what a true legend I was seeing for one of his last seasons. At the desk I am sitting at right now I have a metal trashcan from 1971 with the entire Colt's starting lineup's pictures on it. John Mackey, and Ted Hendricks are also on it, so it has 3 Hall of Famers (plus Bubba Smith)! Quite a collector's item!
OK, better get going. Hi to all the rest of the Masters.
Thanks oregon, illini, jbyram, everydog, Tony M., Flyin, dfb, Rcl, Falcon, George21, BOSNPM, and Opus for comments on my marathon race report in the Saturdaily.
Today I loosened up the feet and legs. My quads are sore. A very little stiffness in the ATs, but calves and hammies feel good. Feet a little sore. Then I worked out from the waist up, sit-ups, push ups, bridges.
More marathon thoughts down below after the personals.
Hi Tony M., Yep, definitely a Tony M. start of the thread. What race have you got coming up? Hope your doc finds all to be well.
Hi oregon, I always enjoy the color your photos bring to the forum. Thanks for that. Hope you had a good 6 today.
Hi illini, My DW told me today that we have a groundhog back under our shed. It was last there a couple of years ago. When he moved out rabbits moved in. I was wondering why I hadn't seen rabbits this year. I will have to find out what to put down to make him want to leave. Can you tell if the Irish Spring is working on the deers yet? Hope your knee is OK.
Hi jbyram, Great job on the 2 min negative split. Looking forward to your full report.
Hi Moth, Where is your half report? Wow. Good job getting right back out there for 8 yesterday. What are you using for your rock sheild. I always thought milk jug plastic would work.
Hi nb4, Glad you felt good for your long run yesterday and the neuroma is subsiding. The other day on the way to work I saw, what I thought was a turkey, on a neighbors lawn, sort of rolling in a dirt patch. Yesterday as my wife and I went for a walk we saw it down the street at the same place, but this time just crossing the road from that yard to the woods across the street. It was out of sight by the time we got down there.
Hi Liney, Good job getting out for your 5. Family busy is always a good kind of busy.
Hi Flyin, Good job keeping your streak going.
Hi dfb, Good looking family. Congrats to your DS.
Hi Rcl, Cool that your mom is still doing a 5K. Nice job on your long run yesterday at altitude. Hope you're home safe.
Hi George21, Nice 8.4 yesterday. Good job with that consistent pace. So sorry to hear about BIL's nephew. Having two sons out at college that strikes close to home. Prayers for his family.
Hi 0400, Hope you're feeling less achy, pained, and fatigued today after your run.
Hi n8, I'm glad you had a good run and the achilles is good. Hope your get together tonight goes as planned.
Hi EIB, I had been getting an impinged nerve or something that also was causing pain in my left lower back around to my hip. I have two computers at work and had the one I'm usually on in front of me and the second, where I would twist to, on the right. I switched that around last week so now I'm twisting to the left and seems things seem to be better. Glad you got good runs in yesterday and today and hope your hip is better.
Hi BOSNPM, Hope you had a good 6 and safe trip moving DD.
Hi fittest, Good workout and glad you found the shoes to work with. Of course you know that losing form invites injuries, so be careful. Hope your knee is feeling better.
Hi Opus, An extra firm mattress also makes my hips sore. I always think that if someone wants something that firm they should just sleep on the floor. Glad you had a great birthday weekend. That hurts hearing about your 4x800 team.
More marathon thoughts - Since I hit the half only slightly behind 3:25 pace, and not sure how much time my half pit stop took, and then seeing at 18 or 19 that I was 5 minutes off 3:25 pace, well I think that means from there out I held the 3:25 pace (7:50) or so since I finished 5 minutes off. (Official time was 3:29:50.) So I feel great about that since in the fall even though I was out much quicker and had a faster overall time, I died and ran the last 10K at an 8:40 pace. (It also definitely means I should ask Santa for a GPS watch.)
Have a great day masters.

I hope you're able to make it to dinner with the Opus family.
Best of luck in your travels. Stay safe (salute)
Beautiful and blessed (salute)
Thank you for your kind words (salute)
Nice going this morning. I thought that was you who came flying past me.
Be happy for your daughter. It's an experience of a life time and one that will allow her to appreciate just how wonderful her parents have been for all these years. Also, you'll see a "different" person when she finishes her work. Been there :-)
I don't really get sore on Mondays but I sure do get tired. Perfect timing on the question though because I'm working in a different shoe and I'm determined to give it every chance possible because it shows so much potential for me. I do have some areas of my body that are sore as a result but that will pass (I hope)
I hope you had fun moving :-)
Good job getting the run in prior to the move (salute)
I dread getting down on my knees when I'm doing yard work. More-so, I dread getting back up :-)
I've not used the ice roller and the thought is not too exciting.
I can just envision the "sweat" from the roller staining the carpet. Actually, I can just envision my head after Mrs NB4 gets done with it
Sounds like a nice (and tough) work out on the track (salute)
One of the major dislikes I have regarding travel is the mattress. I always wish I could bring mine with me.
How did the LR go over the weekend ? Neuroma ?
Are you going in the Vomero 7 or 8? I think you'll be interested in my feedback on the New Balance 990v3 feedback once I finish the trial period. They really sound like something that might work for you, albeit on the heavier side.
Tough luck for the team at the meet. Still very respectable though (salute)
Very respectable 3:29 (salute)
That was a good looking 10 yesterday with a mighty fine last mile (salute)
I read the injury report on the Dodgers....ouch !! Some things $$$ just can't buy.
Thanks for the good word on my post to Rick (Maine) regarding "slowing". I honest to God almost included you in the report as a resource because of your meticulous keeping of the numbers. It's quite easy to see the slowing process when one approaches the subject scientifically and not with the approach that it happens to everyone else but not to me. Oh how wonderful it is when those who are better than the rest topple.
Good job with a very respectable time....4:30 (salute )
Go Annie:
Off to the roller
Have a good evening friends....enjoy
Sue me! lol, value of the streak-
This afternoon a clinet came by, we hit the pub! 3 beers, and 2 whiskeys later I arrive home. I can feel it! I hear it! only 5 days , we can restart... no big deal to fail on the streak, truly, in the long run, what is it to start over after only 5 days!!
then the winner sounds off inside-- BULL****- let's run.
legs full on swollen within a 10th for sure, keep running no matter what, do not look at watch!!! That first mile must be an 11, look down, and omg- it's an 8:30, keep running, good work..... Tossing chunks by 1.5 miles, turn around, walk half way back, total time 35 minutes for 3.2 miles! Throwed up, nearly had a stroke, but STREAK STANDS!
that's being real baby!
p.s. lessoned learned..... next time client wnts0 to drink, I simpley say,not today, and explain what a streaker is! MAybe I will help another dude, verses nearly killing myself.
sorry I am not perfect! But I ran that FF'n mile!!!!!
XO masters love love
What are you using for your rock sheild. I always thought milk jug plastic would work.
I'm using the white plastic lids that come on the 3 lb Gatorade power cans.
Good Evening Masters,
Thank you everyone for the thoughts/prayers...
Today the legs felt heavy, but did manage 5.1 miles in 44:14 @ 8:41 pace on a beautiful evening.
TC - Congrats on a good race over the weekend - hoping you placed.
dfbourg - beautiful pic of the family.
gship - recover well and good to hear about the strong finish - well done.
Rick - hopefully your home safely today and getting the week back to normal.
tww - another fine 10+ miler yesterday.
Opus - very nice work on the 7 miler. Tough break on the relay for the boys, still a nice accomplishment.
illinidave - hope the knee feels better - nice work on the shortened run.
BOSNPM - how did that six miler go. Nice to have the family together, even for a short time.
EIB - quick 10 miler yesterday and follow up 5 miler today.
n8simmons - always good to get five miles in the books. Enjoy dinner with the Opus' crew tonight.
Liney - busy time with the family - enjoy. Nice work getting up early for the 5.
Moth - that was a nice 8 yesterday after the half on Saturday. Good work giving the legs a days off to recover.
NB4 - that sounded like one fantastic run this morning of 6.4 miles. Great posts by you on slowing down and the input from tww - enjoyed....
Be Well......
NB4, I saw your well thought-out post yesterday, and will respond at some point when I have adequate time to give it my full attention.
George, I am glad you got out for a run on a nice evening. Running can be therapeutic.
I got home fine from ABQ... air travel is fine when it all works. I even managed to get in a slow watchless 7 miler back in Maine. Unfortunately tomorrow I head off for a two day business trip, and so things are not back to normal yet.
Opus: Great Colt's story. I have a Colts hat that I bought the day after they moved that I'll send you if you want. It's in good shape as I've never worn it. I have no use for it. Bummer for your 4 X 800 team!!

HOUSTON - It sounds like the plot of a movie, but federal investigators say a pretty high-profile art heist happened in Houston this week.
A local gallery reported 18 antique Chinese ivory Buddhist Lohans from the Qing Dynasty stolen on Monday. They are valued at $30,000.
Investigators tracked the stolen art to a high-end consignment shop, where the figurines were later sold for more than $8,000 to a Houston-based auction house.
HSI special agents on Wednesday met with the auction house representatives and seized the statues.
The ivory statues are now in the care and custody of the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
The suspected thief, 57-year-old Patricia DiCoste, was arrested Friday by special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and officers with Harris County District Attorney's Office, and Bellaire Police Department.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A University of Central Florida professor was killed Monday night in a two-vehicle crash in Brevard County, school officials said.
Dr. Bill Safranek, an assistant professor in UCF's Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences, died in the crash, which occurred near State Road 520 and State Road 524 in Cocoa.
A woman identified as Wendymary Artiles, 22, of Apopka, also died in the crash, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. She was a passenger in the other vehicle.
Troopers said a man driving an F-150 was heading eastbound on S.R. 520 when he attempted to turn left onto S.R. 524. The FHP has not identified the driver, but it's believed that Safranek was behind the wheel.
Jarison Rodriguez, 27, who was driving the other vehicle, veered to the right to avoid the truck but struck the front left of it, causing the pickup to overturn before it struck a road sign and a stop sign and ignited, the FHP said.
Rodriguez's vehicle overturned on its left side, ejecting Artiles from the vehicle, according to troopers. She was taken to Holmes Regional Medical Center, where she died, the FHP said.
Rodriguez was taken to the hospital with critical injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.

text: Show Hide image Science & Tech 19 December 2012 Stargazing with Joan Collins and Jamelia, in the year that science became cool Ben Miller's had a busy year. Sign up for our weekly email * 14 January Great performance of The Ladykillers at the Gielgud Theatre in London tonight. Dinner afterwards with David Crane, writer of Friends, his partner and co-writer, Jeffrey Klarik, and Jimmy Mulville at the impeccable Bocca di Lupo on Archer Street. The guys are all working together on one of my favourite shows, Episodes. After a few anecdotes about Matt LeBlanc, we get down to the real business – the suggestion that detection channels at the Large Hadron Collider are showing a "three-sigma" Higgs. While it's not the five-sigma everyone in narrative comedy is hoping for, it's a start. 15 April To the glory that is the Royal Opera House for the Oliviers, where The Ladykillers has been nominated for a staggering five awards. Collected a lot of data for my theory that actors' legs are shorter than those of normal people. Can it be that long-torsoed actors appear larger in close-up, improving their billing and chances of viable offspring? Then a rumour rips across the acres of taffeta and patent leather like a bow wave. Brian Cox is in the house. A girl in high heels loses her footing and does the box splits on the marble floor. No, wait; not that Brian Cox. Brian Cox the actor. Michael Ball helps the girl up. Everyone relaxes. Phew. 13 May Barbecue on the beach in Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe, to celebrate the start of filming on Death in Paradise. Wonderful to hear that Stephanie Beacham, Ken Cranham and Lucy Davis – who I thought was brilliant in The Office–will soon be joining us. This is going to be a long shoot and there is some sadness that we will be missing not only the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics but also the docking of SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft with the International Space Station. Danny John-Jules goes so far as to suggest that we are witnessing the dawn of a new era in human space travel. And he should know – he plays Cat in Red Dwarf. 5 June Intense emotional scenes on Death in Paradise today. We are shooting an episode in which my co-star Sara Martins's character witnesses the murder of a close friend, played by one of my favourite singers, Jamelia. Just when Sara and I feel we have given everything there is to give, we hear a shriek from the green room. Everyone downs tools and rushes in, fearful that some hapless extra has been bitten by one of the island's venomous giant centipedes. No need to worry; Jamelia has simply managed to image the transit of Venus using an improvised pinhole camera. "We won't see that again for another 250 years," says Sara, wistfully. "Actually, if you live in eastern China you'll see one in December 2117," says Jamelia. 19 July Jetted in from Guadeloupe for the launch of my popular science book, It's Not Rocket Science. This morning, I hooked Eamonn Holmes up to a van de Graaff generator on breakfast television; this evening, I gave a talk at the Royal Institution, right where they do the Christmas Lectures. In the spirit of which I attempted the "elephant's toothpaste" experiment with hydrogen peroxide, potassium iodide and liquid soap. The iodide, I explain, reacts with the peroxide, producing oxygen, and the oxygen then creates impossible amounts of foam when it mixes with the liquid soap. My unconfined joy is marred only by the celebrity no-shows. Cox, Ben Goldacre, Jim Al- Khalili – no one rocks up. John Sessions commiserates with me in the bar. "Those A-listers, they're busy guys," he says wisely. "Three-dimensional chess is nothing next to Cox's iCal." I try to smile. "By the way," he says, "you got that elephant's toothpaste thing wrong. There's no reaction to speak of between the iodide and the peroxide. The iodide forms an intermediate complex that catalyses the decomposition of the peroxide. Decomposition of peroxide is a process that goes on all the time, just usually not at a measurable rate." 31 August It's hurricane season in Guadeloupe and we've been rained off for days. Rocket Science is selling unfeasibly well but I still feel like I have my nose pressed up against the glass, watching my scientific heroes laughing and joking and sharing their impossible wisdom with one another. Then it comes: an invitation to Guildford Book Festival to be interviewed by none other than Jim Al-Khalili. Is this the chink in the armour, the Masonic handshake that will finally see me conjoined with empirical priesthood? 15 October A message from Jim's office: is it OK if he doesn't read my book before our interview? He's got a lot on his plate and is going to have to dash off straight after. 30 November A long day of filming on the feature film Molly Moon. While we are waiting for the shot to be set up, Sadie Frost and Joan Collins strike up a conversation about the rumoured methane traces on Mars and whether or not Nasa will go public before the data is accepted by a peerreviewed journal. Talk then turns to the pos - sibility that Mars may harbour bacterial life and the European Space Agency's forthcoming Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE) and its planned mission to Europa, launching in 2022. "Methane is one thing," Joan says, "but microbial life in some sort of hydrothermal vent? That would really get my attention." I have a whole chapter on space travel, the Drake equation and the possibility of extraterrestrial life but I say nothing. 7 December To Matthew Freud's Christmas party in the Cotswolds. Marquee names rub shoulders with newspaper proprietors and cabinet ministers. It's as if Leveson never happened. No, it's as if Leveson was just a Fifty Shades of Grey-type prelude to an orgy of make-up sex. Then suddenly I spot him, like a stag on a hilltop: Goldacre. I sidle up. "I loved Bad Pharma." He takes me in with wet, pitiful eyes. "I'm a lookalike, mate." He hands me a business card. "I'm doing 40 minutes just to get things warmed up." He drains his flute of pink champagne and hands me the empty glass. "Right, that's your lot. Elton's thing kicks off at ten and he's a sucker for evidence-based medicine."

Mini-UN Conquers Mont Ripley
January 27, 2011—
Many nations were represented at Mt. Ripley Saturday, as the fifth annual International Ski School united students, faculty, and staff in one mission: learn to love all this snow.
It's working.
Nearly 100 international newbies and returnees slid, slipped, and laughed their way down from Midway and elsewhere.
"We don't want to apologize for the snow; we want to embrace it," says second-timer Thy Yang, director of International Programs and Services. "The best part to witness was the interaction between the student instructors and the skiers, many of whom might not get together outside of a classroom."
The rookies got one-on-one attention.
"The biggest surprise was their excitement of being on the snow," says instructor Josh Hauswirth, a civil engineering major from Minnesota. "Whether they were actually skiing down the hill, or just sliding around at the bottom, there were always smiles on their faces."
Hauswirth recalls taking one eager student to the top of the T-bar. "He started making a couple good turns, then got himself pointed straight down and started bombing the hill. By the time I caught up with him halfway down, I could see him smiling and laughing, and he had a line of tears going straight back from his eyes because of the wind. He managed to bring himself to a stop, then looked at me and said, 'That was [the] most fun thing I [did] all year!'"
Hauswirth says that, if one person from the group succeeded in making turns, or any other maneuver, the whole group would get excited.
"Even when somebody would fall, I could hear them laughing and would see them smiling as they got up," he says.
Kalifah Albuanian, an English as a second language (ESL) and electrical engineering technology major from Saudi Arabia, was surprised at how much fun he had.
"I was in the beginner level and learned many things," he says. "The problem [was] that I fell down many times but without injuries, thank God. One funny word was 'pizza,' [that] they usually say in order to stop. Unfortunately, I wasn't hungry at the time, so I couldn't do pizza to stop!"
The international students ran the gamut of ages, from more-traditional undergrads and master's students to older PhD students, according to Yang.
"The students say, 'This is why I chose Michigan Tech,'" she says. "They say, 'I want to try someplace new, in a different climate from my home nation, and I want to try something new, too.'"
China, India, the Mideast, and European nations were all represented, and a pattern is developing in those who continue with the sport after this introduction.
"You had the newer and more experienced skiers together, with the veterans helping the new ones," Yang says. "And, after they learn, they are going on their own now, taking buses over to the hill."
Yang says that many international students want to try skiing and other activities, but they just need a catalyst.
"They don't want to do it alone, so this allows them to go with their friends."
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

MAN OF THE MATCH – RYAN JONES: Nearly capped a great season with a memorable victory as stand-in skipper after Warburton went off injured. A magnificent try-scoring performance. 8
LEIGH HALFPENNY: Wales' player of the series was excellent again, kicking five out of six – if only his penalty from halfway hadn't struck the upright. 8
ALEX CUTHBERT: The talented wing was criminally under-used yet again and Wales were left to rue the fact. 7
JONATHAN DAVIES: Made a lovely break that was so good nobody could keep up and support him. Nearly got Rob Horne to bomb his try. 7
ASHLEY BECK: The young centre shows a lot of promise in attack but needs to work on his defence. 7
GEORGE NORTH: Wales' version of Jonah Lomu was hungry for action and did very well with his limited opportunities. 7
RHYS PRIESTLAND: Sadly it doesn't look like he is up to it. A few booming kicks and nice touches but doesn't inspire much confidence as a playmaker. 5
MIKE PHILLIPS: An infuriating player, a Jekyll and Hyde character who is an enigma. Lived up to that billing again. 5
GETHIN JENKINS: Struggled with injury and was replaced in the second half by Paul James. 5
MATTHEW REES: Again some of his lineout throwing left one open-mouthed. Also guilty of botching a three-on-one overlap by cutting back inside. 4
ADAM JONES: Superb all-round display by arguably Wales' most important player. 8
BRADLEY DAVIES: Was given the nod above Ian Evans – who for some inexplicable reason wasn't even on the bench – and didn't really repay the faith. 5
ALUN WYN JONES: His worst performance in a Wales shirt by far. Dropped three re-starts which yielded points for Australia. Enough said. 4
DAN LYDIATE: Defensively he has no peers but his play in the open needs serious polishing or he runs the risk of turning into a one-trick pony. 6
SAM WARBURTON: Started well with some outstanding tackling but left midway through the first half through injury. 7
REFEREE – CRAIG JOUBERT: The South African wasn't great and his fussiness, particularly at the breakdown, killed the prospect of a far better game. 5


text: Lucky 7? Not at all By Doug Smock June 21, 2013 Story Share AP Photo A familiar scene: David Bradshaw with the West Virginia Open trophy, his seventh. VIENNA, W.Va. - The seventh time David Bradshaw won the West Virginia Open, he didn't need to sweat out a one-stroke cushion or win a playoff.This time, he slammed the door on the field, and did it repeatedly.The Jefferson County native and touring pro won his seventh Open in style Friday, posting a 5-under-par 67 to finish at 11-under 205, four strokes ahead of Sam O'Dell.O'Dell, the Hurricane dentist who is much more of a part-time player, posted an identical 67 to easily win the low-amateur honor. After five holes Friday, he was eyeing a bigger prize when he climbed to within a stroke of Bradshaw.Then the champ answered with an emphatic "no dice," eagling the 509-yard, par-5 sixth hole to take a two-stroke advantage. As well as O'Dell played, he got no closer the rest of the way.Bradshaw, who entered the day with a three-shot lead over Woody Woodward, started the day at 1 over through the first five holes and looked vulnerable. Briefly."It was the turning point for me," Bradshaw said. "I was swinging pretty terrible, I would say, [on] 1 through 5. I just needed something to go my way, and I hit a good shot there and I made that, and it was game on."He fired 69s in the first two rounds Wednesday and Thursday and felt good about neither. That carried over to Friday, but the feeling ended at the sixth tee."I crushed the tee shot there," he said. "I had 224 [yards] in; there was some room to the left of that pin, so I wasn't fearing it. I carry a 4-iron about 219, so I said I could get to the top of that ridge [but] I had to flush it. It came off as good as I've hit a golf ball all week."A 5-foot putt later he had the upper hand again, and fellow competitors O'Dell and Woodward knew it. Bradshaw went 6 under in the final 13 holes, narrowly missing just one green in regulation. "Going out today, I thought if I could get to 8 under, shoot a 66, the 'round of your life' sort of a deal, maybe have a shot," O'Dell said. "It wouldn't have mattered. He's tough - and he probably gave a couple away."The 30-year-old Bradshaw added to the Opens he won in 2004 as an amateur, then in 2006-07 and 2009-11 as a professional. He ranks second to the 17 titles won by the great Sam Snead.His $6,000 check adds to the $4,000 he earned last week on the eGolf Tour, finishing fifth in an event in Charlottesville, Va. Next week he'll tackle the Frank Fuhrer Invitational in Pittsburgh, a $175,000-purse tournament in which he's the defending champion.Tied for third behind Bradshaw and O'Dell were Bob Friend of Pittsburgh and Christian Brand of Charleston. The second-best amateur was Charleston's Bosten Miller, who just finished his first year in Marshall's medical school. He was tied with Kenneth Hess, a pro from Parkersburg.Philip Reale II was alone in seventh at 1 under, and Woodward finished eighth at even. Woodward, who will play collegiately at Wake Forest, suffered a 75 Friday, which included a two-stroke penalty on the second hole. Bradshaw was aided by the absence of past Open champs Jonathan Clark, Craig Berner and Barry Evans, all playing in Sunriver, Ore., at the PGA Professional National Championship. Then again, Bradshaw wouldn't mind being somewhere else when the 2014 Open is played at Glade Springs. A hint: After playing in Pittsburgh, he is gunning for the Monday qualifier for the Greenbrier Classic, also played at the Cobb Course."My game's been so good this year," he said. "I need opportunities to play at a high level, and that's kind of what I'm waiting on. If I could squeak through those Mondays and get in, get the chance to play, because if I can play this well at a higher level, payday could be really, really big, substantial, life-changing."Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

Don't Let Your Guard Down
Just about a week ago, I noted that neither bulls nor bears should be complacent. I also noted that the folks in Washington -- Republicans and Democrats alike -- should not be complacent, either. I think Wednesday's action tells us exactly why that has been the correct posture, and likely will continue to be.
Let's just review what some of the statistics from Wednesday's trading show, since there were positives and negatives. One indicator that surprised me the most was Nasdaq volume breadth, which was positive on the day. Consider this for a minute: While it might not sound like a lot, Apple (AAPL) traded about 2% of the total volume on the index, while the Nasdaq itself lost 23 points on the day. So more had to be happening than just the drop in Apple, and yet net volume was at a net positive of 68 million shares. I would have expected it to be negative, and it wasn't -- so that is a plus....492 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Taylor Swift must know how much we hate being kept in suspense, because she didn't make us wait long to find out whether her maybe-haircut was an actual chop or just an Instagram illusion. And as it turns out, she's not just quick to fulfill the wishes of PEOPLE StyleWatch editors, she's also a woman of her word: When she said "I just need a haircut," she meant it.
The star was spotted walking around Perth, Australia before a concert, wearing her newly shortened locks loose and wavy. Previously, her bangs were so heavy she could "use [them] as a sleep mask," and her thick blonde locks cascaded over her shoulders. Her new look is much breezier and lighter, with her bangs thinned and parted to the side and her curls just grazing the nape of her neck.
RELATED PHOTOS: See more stars who made major hair changes in 2013!
For as long as we can remember, Swift has sported the same long, layered cut — whether worn curly or straight — so this shorter, more swingy style is a fun and refreshing change of pace.
Do you like Swift's shorter hair? Think you'll go for your own big cut in 2014? Weigh in below!

An appellate court has dismissed the appeal of a former Painesville man who admitted molesting two 11-year-old boys.
Roger Gullion, 42, pleaded guilty to two counts of rape. On Sept. 7, 2011, he asked Lake County Common Pleas Judge Vincent A. Culotta to sentence him to six years in prison and mental health treatment.
Instead, Culotta sentenced him to the maximum 20 years.
Acting as his own attorney, Gullion later claimed his public defender failed to file an appeal on his behalf nor advised him to file his own appeal.
On Tuesday, the 11th District Court of Appeals rejected his appeal 3-0 on the grounds it was filed almost one year past the filing deadline.
Gullion said the reason his appeal was late is due to his lack of legal knowledge. He also claimed the prison library was not readily available to him.
But Appellate Judge Timothy P. Cannon disagreed in his written opinion that was also signed by judges Diane V. Grendell and Thomas R. Wright.
"A review of the written plea of guilty establishes the trial court and appellant's counsel advised appellant of his appellate rights," Cannon stated. "... While appellant's reasons might explain some lapse in time in initiating his direct appeal, they do not justify a delay of almost one year between the time of appellant's sentence and the filing of his motion for delayed appeal. We determine appellant was not diligent in taking the proper steps to protect his own rights."
At his sentencing, Gullion told the judge he needed help and that his own childhood abuse led him to molest the boys, whom he had met through one of the victim's mothers.
A court psychologist who examined Gullion determined he was at high risk to re-offend, and called the defendant one of the most sexually disturbed people he'd ever seen.

Beeman Commission Delivers Recommendations
Oct. 28, 2008
News Highlights
- Josiah H. Beeman Commission recommends transforming the mental health system for improved outcomes, increased independence and better lives for people with mental illnesses.
- Recovery and resilience are central to the recommendations. Recovery is a process that enables persons with mental illness to regain hope in their future, manage their lives and exercise authority over what happens to them.
- Many of the recommendations can be implemented using existing resources.
- Recommendations can be found at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/beemancommission.
More Information
Fairfax County must help people recover from mental illness, not just treat its symptoms, said a commission that looked at its mental health care system. The result will be increased mental health for people who are ill, less dependence on the system and better outcomes for taxpayers.
The recommendations came from the Josiah H. Beeman Commission, which was created to suggest improvements to the county's mental health care system. The commission spent almost two years studying the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board (CSB), which provides mental health care for the county and the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church. The recommendations can be found on the Beeman Commission page.
The focus on recovery and resilience will mean major changes in how the CSB operates. The commission proposed changes to the public agency's services, funding, and management. It said the CSB should help people meet their basic everyday needs, pursue additional federal funds and use treatments based on the latest research.
In addition to case management and standard treatments, the CSB also must help people with mental illness get jobs, housing, education and health care. Research shows that jobs, housing and education promote recovery from mental illness. These findings are borne out by other states across the nation. In one such study in Connecticut, employment and housing cut the cost for inpatient care by 70 percent in that system. These services are also critical because nearly 60 percent of people served by the CSB fall below the federal poverty line.
The mental health care system also must seek increased federal reimbursement for its services. While 67 percent of its funding comes from the county, the CSB can do more to capture available federal dollars. Only a third of adults receiving services from the CSB are enrolled in Medicaid compared to 50 percent statewide. The agency should meet or exceed this statewide figure, and it should seek money from other state and federal programs, such as the Comprehensive Services Act and the State Children's Health Insurance Program.
Commissioners believe that many of their recommendations can be made without additional money from Fairfax County.
Recovery isn't a new idea in mental health care. Other localities and states have focused their systems on this principle, including Connecticut, Ohio, Rhode Island and Utah. In 2003, a presidential commission also called for mental health systems nationwide to become recovery oriented.
Recovery is a process that enables persons with mental illness to regain hope in their future, manage their lives and exercise authority over what happens to them. The concepts of recovery and resilience are central to the commission's recommendations.
Overall, the commission proposed changes in seven main areas: leadership and governance; fiscal management; prevention and early intervention; services and supports; work force and training; data and outcomes; and technology.
These recommendations were presented to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Human Services Committee yesterday. The recommendations will be delivered to the entire board for its approval later this fall.

The Western diet has too much omega-6 and not enough omega-3 fatty acids, creating an imbalance. Omega-3 comes from fish oil, and omega-6 from corn and soy oils. Study authors believe that allergic eczema—the chronic itchy skin disorder—is increasing because of this imbalance in the Western diet. Researchers recruited 53 participants with allergic eczema to take 5,400 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) per day or a placebo for eight weeks. After 20 weeks, those who had taken DHA had 23 percent fewer symptoms compared to six percent for placebo. The DHA group also had less inflammation and a more normal immune response, while the placebo group did not improve. Blood levels of omega-3 increased in the DHA group, bringing the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 more into balance.

Fairfax County Revitalization Conference on Sept. 13
Aug. 31, 2010
News Highlights
On Monday, Sept. 13, from 8 a.m. to noon, the 2010 Fairfax County Revitalization Conference will spotlight how residents, businesses, developers and government can work together to revitalize older commercial centers. The conference will be held at the Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, and it is hosted by the Fairfax County Office of Community Revitalization and Reinvestment (OCRR).
This free event is open to the public; a continental breakfast will be served. Due to limited seating, registration is requested by Wednesday, Sept. 8. Registration information and the agenda are available online.
"Successful revitalization is about more than attracting new development and businesses to an area," said Barbara Byron, OCRR director. "It's important to create a sense of place, a destination where people want to live, shop, eat and play. This is possible when residents, developers and businesses work together to create a community."
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova and Mount Vernon Supervisor Gerry Hyland will deliver welcoming remarks;closing remarks will be given by Lee District Supervisor Jeff McKay.
Speakers will address varied approaches to engaging the community in redevelopment projects:
- Jair Lynch, president & CEO of JAIR LYNCH Development Partners,has extensive experience in developing urban mixed-use projects within Washington, D.C.
- Cecilia Cassidy, executive director for Rosslyn Renaissance/Rosslyn BID, has spent nearly 20 years leading this residential, commercial, and government partnership that works to create a sense of place within Rosslyn.
- Peggy Gaynor, president of Gaynor Inc., will share her experience working on the Thornton Creek project in Seattle, Wash, that transformed a nine-acre parking lot associated with a retail mall into a mixed-use development. This project created an urban park through the middle of the site, successfully balancing concerns about urbanization, stormwater treatment and environmental restoration.

A BACKLASH by doctors has forced the military to extend the handover time for the $1.3 billion privatisation of medical treatment for Australian troops.
Medibank Health Solutions, an offshoot of insurance giant Medibank Private, had been due to take control of Defence heath services this week, including a promised list of preferred civilian specialists signed on to the new system.
But many surgeons have rejected the new arrangements, prompting concern military personnel will end up with sub-standard care.
Military doctors have now been permitted to refer patients to doctors outside the privatised network for at least six weeks.
In regions where there is a concentration of military personnel, including Canberra, doctors have overwhelmingly refuse to sign a contract with Medibank. They have expressed concern over cuts to fees under the new system and resent the intrusion into their practices, with Medibank to decide which specialists are referred. Defence personnel - army, navy and air force - are entitled to free healthcare as a condition of service.
The Defence Department said the health and wellbeing of personnel was its highest priority.
''In coming weeks, there could be cases where an ADF member in a particular geographic area requires a specific service, and MHS remains in negotiation with service providers in that location,'' it said.
''In these situations, there is provision for ADF members to access medical specialists who are not within the MHS network, to ensure personnel continue to receive quality and timely care.''
Two areas that might face shortages of medical professionals signing up are Canberra and Darwin, both of which have large defence populations.
The Northern Territory president of the Australian Medical Association, Peter Beaumont, said Medibank was ''not paying anywhere near market rates''.
He said military personnel would end up in the public system, which the ADF tried to avoid because of delays.
''The department wants people to be treated by the private system so people can get back to serving … and get back to their jobs,'' he said.
''The most practical effect will be the delay in treatment and post-op care. They will not bounce back as quickly.''
Terry Gavaghan, a Canberra gastroenterologist who does endoscopies and colonoscopies for Defence, said: ''As far as I'm aware, in the ACT nobody has signed up to provide any services for defence force members. It's been a complete debacle. The whole thing has been a disaster.''

Will the media take advantage of sexual harassment allegations to perform even more stringent levels of Cain scrutiny of every word and action from his campaign? New York Times reporter Susan Saulny hinted so in Friday's 'Even Cain's Old Jokes Face Extra Scrutiny Now.'
Prevously, Saulny had quoted leftist Cain-haters Cornel West and Harry Belafonte in an October 19 story fretting over Cain's playful treatment of black stereotypes on the campaign trail, even quoting a professor who accused Cain of 'a certain kind of minstrelsy to play to white audiences.'
On Friday, Saulny strung together some vague, less-than-earthshaking anecdotes to suggest Cain would have to reel in his trademark humor now that his persona was tainted with the allegations (even though he denies them), and even to be careful how his entourage treats female reporters on the campaign trail.
It was another offhand joke by Herman Cain.
While answering a question at the Republican presidential debate Wednesday night, the candidate referred dismissively to Representative Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, as 'Princess Nancy.'
His campaign sent the quip out on Twitter almost immediately, to drive home the point in case anybody had missed it. But the public response was not as the campaign might have expected.
Dana Perino, former White House press secretary for Bush, criticized the remark on Twitter, and Cain apologized for it. But that wasn't enough:
After more than a week of battling accusations that he sexually harassed a number of subordinates while he was chief of the National Restaurant Association in the late 1990s, Mr. Cain faces a new challenge: calibrating his campaign behavior toward women in an atmosphere newly colored by the allegations.
With Mr. Cain's campaign running a vigorous defense against the sexual harassment charges - questioning the women's credibility and even scrutinizing their bank accounts - any stray remark or campaign photograph could create a public relations problem if seen as unduly rude, flirtatious or aggressive toward women.
At a campaign stop Thursday at a diner in Ypsilanti, Mich., the mood turned unusually tense when a bodyguard for Mr. Cain tried to move a reporter out of the candidate's path. The reporter, a woman, objected, saying, 'Please don't touch me, sir!'
The bodyguard responded, 'Now you listen here, lady.'
Campaign events are not usually genteel, but the tone of the incident did not help Mr. Cain's perception issue.
Nor did this: while shaking hands with patrons in the diner, Mr. Cain elaborated on the reason behind his apology on the Pelosi remark and seemed less than contrite.
'I apologized for calling her 'Princess Pelosi,' ' he said. (Actually, he had called her 'Princess Nancy.') When asked why, he said, 'So you all could stop asking me about it, O.K.?'
Also Thursday, Mr. Cain was caught on tape joking about Anita Hill, who accused Clarence Thomas of harassment decades ago during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing.
While polls seem to suggest that Republican women still support Mr. Cain in numbers that are roughly equivalent to men, flickers of discontent are emerging in crucial constituencies.

Ok so the Mods banned OlBlu from the Football board or something? So now he is trolling every other board. Has it dawned on the mods that there is a glaring fault with that half measure.
Maracana sat 250K back in early days but hasn't in a very long time.
Racing Indy? meh.
All I am saying is that I took a tour of that stadium and the guide told people it held 250,000 for soccer. It was enormous but that was a long time ago and perhaps the guide was full of it. I never counted the seats.....
I found this:
The Estádio do Maracanã (English: Maracanã Stadium, standard Brazilian Portuguese: [iʃˈtadʒi.u du maɾakɐˈnɐ̃], local pronounce: [iʃˈtadʒu du mɐˌɾakɐˈnɐ̃]), officially Estádio Jornalista Mário Filho (IPA: [iʃˈtadʒu ʒoɦnaˈliʃtɐ ˈmaɾju ˈfiʎu]), is an open-air stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Owned by the Rio de Janeiro State Government, it is, as the Maracanã neighborhood where it is located, named after the Rio Maracanã, a now canalized river in Rio de Janeiro. It was opened in 1950 to host the FIFA World Cup, and in the final game Brazil was beaten 2-1 by Uruguay. Since then, it has mainly been used for football matches between the major football clubs in Rio de Janeiro, including Botafogo, Flamengo, Fluminense, and Vasco da Gama. It has also hosted a number of concerts and other sporting events. Although the paid attendance at the final game of the 1950 FIFA World Cup was 199,854 (being the world's largest stadium by capacity, when it was inaugurated), the stadium currently seats 78,838 spectators.[1] It was the main venue of the 2007 Pan American Games, hosting the football tournament and the opening and closing ceremonies.
I was sure the guide that I heard said it was the largest stadium in the world by capacity.....
Yes it sits 82k people, the problem is that soccer fans in South America don't sit they like to stand up
I believe that they fill that stadium with more than 100k + people on special occasions(finals or whatever).
And regarding the new Indiana Soccer team, as a soccer fan I'm happy about the city, I can't wait to see who is the old broken down player that is going to be the face of the franchise

Name, colors, and crest are coming on Thursday.
I'm excited to learn the future of Indy Pro Soccer. So far it looks like they're doing a fantastic job (as are the fans) of drumming up support.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
Indy Eleven is the name.
The crest is awesome, but I am underwhelmed by the name.
Can someone explain to me how Indy Eleven relates to the Civil War?
There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
11th Regiment
I don't like the name, but that is one of the best logos I've seen for any sport.
The crest is fantastic. The name isn't amazing, but I think it's growing on me.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
The reaction to the name is overwhelmingly negative.
It will grow on people, if only because there is a solid explanation behind it and the crest is great.
The number 1 explanation though is literally that the number of players on the field is 11. To me the regiment thing was added as an afterhtought, if you don't believe me go find the team's actual release. The first reason listed is because there will be 11 men on the field. So dumb.
The Colts should have ditched the classic Colt name after coming from Baltimore and called dibs on "Indy 11".
I agree, I think the name is awful.
Just curious, not a soccer guy, what type of soccer team is this? It's not MLS right?
The statue from the Soldiers and Sailors Monument is kind of cool though.
Crest is great. Name pisses me off more and more every time I read it.
It just comes off as incredibly simpleton.
It's NASL. It's basically the AAA, NBA D-league, AHL, etc. of the MLS.
The ownership group has done a great job up to this point, the name is pretty underwhelming. I was banking on it being Circle City FC or something along those lines.
Yeah they had been doing so well, but the name has definitely sucked some wind out of the sails. Baffling mistake. It wasn't even one of the names people were campaigning for.
Exactly. You could send suggestions on Twitter and on the team website and yet it seems like none of them got consideration. As with any team name, it will eventually grow on people and seem like an afterthought a few years from now.
Circle City FC would have been terrible. Names like that are no good. "Just saw Circle City FC on TV. Where are they from?"
When they said the name had historical context with April 25th I was hoping for the Indianapolis Artillery.
The difference between NASL and those leagues is that those are farm teams. This is more like a 1-AA team.

Thriving on Ice: My Austrian Crash Course in Winter Driving
Mercedes-Benz debuted its all-new A-Class at an over-the-top event before the auto show, complete with moving video walls, scores of dancers, and a very interesting piece of art work. Three high-resolution infrared motion capture cameras recorded the movement of the dancers on stage and transmitted the data to a central server. Software processed that information in real time and delivered it to the video walls acting as backdrop to the whole event. The result? Real time animations created behind the dancers accentuating the choreography and making for some darn cool visuals. We especially liked the effect shown here: virtual aerodynamics.
The Toyota GT-86 (called the Scion FR-S in the U.S.) is Toyota's much-welcome return to sports cars. The auto has already garnered positive reviews, but a sure-fire way to draw drooling onlookers in is to trot out some legendary sheet metal to stand next to your new creation. There's not much in the way of shared heritage or styling cues between the GT-86 (top) and the Toyota 2000 GT (bottom), but we'll never tire of gazing at the original Toyota sports car.

Craig sharing wisdom with Wisdom
JUPITER, Fla. -- Allen Craig and Patrick Wisdom grew up in neighboring towns in Southern California, though the seven-year age difference between the two never offered them much opportunity to cross paths in baseball circles. Their introductions actually came some 2,600 miles away from home in the Cardinals' clubhouse last spring.
Time together followed over the winter.
That was initiated by Craig, who reached out to Wisdom after the 2013 season to see if he would like to join him a few times each week to work out. Wisdom, having just finished his first full professional season, embraced the invitation.
"We kind of grew up in the same town, same area, so we're familiar with the same scenery," Wisdom said. "We have this connection of where we've been so far, and so we can kind of relate. I don't want to step on his toes or anything. He has his own process, his own regimen. I just like to be there and watch him and learn from him and pick his brain."
"I think it's pretty clear that he's got a lot of talent, a lot of physical tools," added Craig. "He's a good guy. He works hard. Obviously, it was fun to be around him, just talking the game. It was casual, hanging out, talking about baseball."
The two found connections beyond proximity, too. Wisdom had played baseball with one of Craig's cousins. They were both drafted out of college, with Craig having gone to the University of California, Berkeley and Wisdom to St. Mary's College. Those campuses sit about 12 miles apart.
Wisdom was the higher Draft pick (No. 52 overall in 2012) out of college, though Craig has the credentials Wisdom envies. Wisdom split 2013 between two Class A clubs, with which he established himself as one of the best infield prospects in the organization. Craig solidified his spot on the national radar last season with one of the best "clutch" seasons by any Major League player in the past four decades.
It wasn't so much that success but the journey to it that Craig wanted to share with the 22-year-old third baseman.
"We live in a somewhat large town, but it's a small town in terms of the baseball community," Craig said. "He's fairly young in his professional career, and he has a lot of talent. There are some struggles that I had coming up, and obviously, he's a pro and he knows exactly what he's doing, but if there is any little type of message from just talking the game and communication back and forth that can help, then I'm all for it. There are things that I learned from him, that he learned from me. That's the best type of baseball relationship you can have -- just talking the game and getting better."
It is also, manager Mike Matheny said, another component of the oft-recited Cardinal Way.
"That's what makes this place special," Matheny said. "These guys are constantly doing things like that. You have to have talent, too, and obviously, he has some."
