When he was first elected to the U.S. Congress in 1995, U.S. House Rep. Steven LaTourette resolved to be a force for progress in the state of Ohio.
As he looks forward to retirement and work in the private sector, he's confident he succeeded.
"My proudest accomplishments are finding a way forward to fix the problem and not finding a way to blame somebody," LaTourette said Jan. 10.
LaTourette served as representative for Ohio's 19th U.S. congressional district from 1995 to 2000, and was elected Congressman of the newly-drawn 14th district in 2002. As his most recent term came to a close last fall, he chose not to seek reelection and retired Jan. 3.
Having been responsible for bridging the gap between local and federal governments, LaTourette said his fondest memories of his tenure include working closely with mayors and city officials in the 14th District, which includes Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties, as well as portions of Portage, Summit, Trumbull and Cuyahoga counties.
Dealing with federal bureaucracy is a not-so-fond memory.
"It's a two-part job, and the part that I loved about it was working with Mayor [Katherine] Procop and Mayor [Karen] Fritschel in Stow and all the local elected officials to try and help resolve some of their issues in partnership with the federal government," LaTourette said. "I will definitely miss working with those local elected officials. I'm not going to so much miss dealing with the United States Senate."
LaTourette established a reputation as a hard-working representative who was willing to put partisan differences aside for the sake of improving the community. Projects under his supervision included traffic access revisions to Route 8, among other road improvement efforts.
"I'm very proud of the connector road between [routes] 91 and 82 named after the fallen police officer in Twinsburg [Officer Joshua Miktarian Memorial Parkway,]" LaTourette said. "There's a whole smattering of things that I'm proud of, but none of those would have come about unless I had great partnerships with the local elected officials."
Leaving state congress behind him, LaTourette is looking forward to shorter hours and applying his experience to helping the public relate to the federal government. He is currently president of McDonald-Hopkins Government Strategies, a subsidiary of the McDonald-Hopkins law firm. The move was announced Jan. 8 by McDonald-Hopkins, which has offices in Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Miami and West Palm Beach, Fla.
McDonald Hopkins Government Strategies will have offices overlooking Capitol Hill. LaTourette's wife, Jennifer, has worked for a Washington lobbying firm for the past 10 years.
Bipartisanship was important to LaTourette, who feels modern politics leaves little room for such moderation -- a major reason for his decision to retire.
"I've been a problem solver and that's how I attempted to approach the job," LaTourette said. "Actually, what caused me to decide to leave is the fact that there is no place for that anymore. The art of compromise that people talk about fondly with Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill really doesn't exist today."
U.S. Congressman David Joyce, who was sworn in as the new 14th district representative Jan. 3, has known and worked with LaTourette for years, having served with him as Lake County Prosecutor. Joyce said he is excited to carry on his predecessor's legacy of hard work and public service.
"Obviously, there are big shoes to fill," Joyce said of LaTourette. "He was a tremendous congressman and he's a good friend. It didn't matter if it was necessarily in his district, if it was in the best interest of people in Northeastern Ohio, he was certainly involved in making sure it got taken care of and I want to continue that tradition."
At the same time, LaTourette is confident his district is in good hands.
"I've known Dave Joyce for 30 years and he's going to do a great job," LaTourette said. "If I could have hand-picked somebody, he would be the guy I would pick. I think that the region has shown that it will reward with re-election somebody who's interested in solving problems rather than throwing bombs. Dave is just that kind of guy and I think he's going to do a great job."
LaTourette stood up to the tasks of governance for more than 18 years, but says a public servant can only bear so much bickering.
"Politics is a contact sport, so you accept that you're going to have disagreements with people and people are going to be political," LaTourette said. "Today, what drove me out the door was that people basically want to fight about everything. If an idea was thought up by a Democrat and you're a Republican, you have to say it's a horrible idea and vice versa. It limited my ability, in my opinion, to be an effective problem solver because nobody was interested in solving problems."

Good records have long been recognized as a cornerstone of successful animal husbandry and are becoming increasingly important in the dairy industry as herd size grows. However, industry-wide standards for recording and evaluating health data don't exist.
During an upcoming DAIReXNET webinar, you will learn how to achieve truly "good" health records and use them to make health management decisions based on hard evidence (outcomes) from the cows rather than perceptions of people.
Register today for "Outcome Driven Health Management," scheduled for March 4, 2013, from noon-1:00 p.m (Central Time). The webinar will be presented by Dr. John R. Wenz, Washington State University.

AT&T Conducts Technology Recovery Demonstration in Connecticut
Satellite COLT, Hazmat Demo, and State-of-the-Art Trailers part of drill
Hartford, Connecticut, May 14, 2013
Hurricanes, blizzards, flooding, even man-made disasters – Connecticut has seen its share. AT&T* recognizes the importance of reliable communication during a disaster and that's why its Network Disaster Recovery (NDR) organization will conduct a technology recovery demonstration, May 14-23 in Hartford, CT. The drills include establishing emergency communications channels from the site – using equipment such as Emergency Communications Vehicles, satellite COLTs (Cell on Light Trucks), and microwave radio links. Handler/dog teams from the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation will also be available to provide agility demonstrations.
Over twenty-five pieces of recovery equipment will be on-hand including, filling most of the Rentshler Stadium's parking lot:
- Technology Recovery Trailers
- Satellite COLT (Cell on Light Truck - a cell tower than can be moved anywhere via truck)
- Emergency Communications Vehicle
- Command trailer – a 53-foot trailer with pop-out sides where the incident management team works
- Tool and Supply Trailer (a small hardware store)
- Power Trailer and Power Distribution Trailer
WHAT: AT&T Technology Recovery Drill – preparedness exercise to ensure quick recovery of communications after disaster strikes
WHEN: May 17 - 20, 2013
Friday – Noon to 4PM | Saturday-Sunday – 9AM – 4PM | Monday – 9AM – 4PM
WHERE: Rentschler Stadium
615 Silver Lane
East Hartford, CT 06118
VISUALS: Tours of AT&T NDR Recovery Site and State-of-the-Art Technology

Search Dog Agility Drill
Hazmat Demonstration
In its two decades of service, the team has been deployed more than 70 times – including
recent deployments for Hurricanes Sandy in 2012 and Irene in 2011. The NDR team deployed on September 11, 2001, following the New York City World Trade Center disaster – recovering the services of a destroyed network office and providing emergency communications support for humanitarian efforts.
"We chose Connecticut for this exercise, in part, to help local and regional first responders understand NDR's role in restoring communications for an area impacted by a disaster," said Mark Francis, VP, Network Operations. "NDR exercises are a global effort – they are conducted in the United States and abroad to maintain the readiness of the team and its equipment."
This will be the NDR team's first full technical exercise in Connecticut. For more information, visit the Network Disaster Recovery page.

Future PlayStation games can be packaged for both Vita and PS3, with cloud data allowing customers to access a game from either device, a senior Sony executive has said.
Shuhei Yoshida, chief of Sony Worldwide Studios, told Eurogamer that it was "totally feasible" for developers to build a connected experience between PS Vita and PS3 editions of the same game.
"One of the games we're making, called Ruin, we are developing both the Vita version and the PS3 version of that title. Both games will be packaged together," he said.
"You can play the game at home on PS3, save your data on our PSN server on the cloud, and you can continue playing the game on PS Vita by downloading the save from the PSN. And you can do vice versa. It's a continuous experience, playing the same game on PS Vita and PS3."

Patti LuPone Tickets
Patti LuPone is nothing short of a musical theatre legend. She is perhaps best known for her Tony-winning performance as Eva Peron in the 1979 Broadway production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's seminal musical Evita, in which she belted out such beloved songs as "Don't Cry for Me Argentina." Shortly thereafter, in 1985, she traveled to London's West End and received critical acclaim and a Laurence Olivier Award for her performances in The Cradle Will Rock and the original production of Les Miserables, in which she created the role of tortured prostitute and social pariah Fantine, memorably debuting the now-standard song "I Dreamed a Dream." In 1987, she returned to New York City, where she starred in the Lincoln Center Theater revival of Anything Goes. Her Drama Desk Award-winning portrayal of nightclub singer Reno Sweeney remains one of her most beloved performances to date.
In 1993, LuPone once again teamed up with Andrew Lloyd Webber in London to create the role of Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. In 1995, she created her first one-woman Broadway show, Patti LuPone on Broadway, for which she won an Outer Critics Circle Award. In 1996, she was hand-selected to replace Zoe Caldwell in Terrence McNally's Master Class, playing the famous opera diva Maria Callas and transferring with the show to the West End. LuPone's next major Broadway turn was in the revival of Noises Off, opposite Faith Prince and Peter Gallagher, after which she began regularly performing at Chicago's Ravinia Festival, starring in concert performances of Sweeney Todd, Passion, Anyone Can Whistle, Gypsy, and Sunday in the Park with George.
Audiences welcomed LuPone back to Broadway in John Doyle's innovative Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd; she starred as Mrs. Lovett (opposite Michael Cerveris' Sweeney Todd) and, along with the rest of the actors, also played some of her own accompaniment (on the tuba and the orchestra bells). She received a Tony nomination for her fine performance. Soon after, she starred as Rose in a 2007 City Center Encores! production of Gypsy, and went on to win the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for the 2008 Broadway revival. In 2010, LuPone created the role of Lucia in the new musical Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, based on the Pedro Almodovar film of the same name. She was nominated for Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Awards. In 2011, she played the role of Joanne (singing the song "Ladies Who Lunch") in a the four-night concert production of Stephen Sondheim's Company, starring Neil Patrick Harris.
In late 2011, LuPone signed on to take her successful concert tour with on- and off-stage friend Mandy Patinkin to Broadway for a 63-performance run. An Evening with Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin marks their first reunion since their Tony-winning performances together in Evita. Get your Patti LuPone tickets today to see this stage superstar live!

Entee Sublett and his dad have to buy all of the feed needed for their 750-cow milking herd, so high feed cost the past few years has taken its toll. In fact, they haven't had a good year since 2008-2009, when things really started to nosedive.
"The last several years have eaten into our equity," says Sublett, a 31-year-old dairyman from central Texas. "It's taken everything we have to survive."
But things are starting to improve. In October, Sublett's area got 11 inches of rain, which brought back some green to a drought-ravaged landscape. And, lower feed costs have returned some green to his pocketbook.
2013 may go down as a turn-around year. "Without all of the mounting debt from previous years, this would have been a good year," he says.
Sublett's experience pretty well describes the situation: It's been a mixed bag around the country this year, depending on the weather.
Fickle weather
For Clarence Castleberg, dairy farmer from northwest Wisconsin, the weather wasn't so good.
Winterkill from cold temperatures in the spring and dry weather in the summer caused him to lose half of his normal hay production. That forced him to buy hay for 150 cows. As of early November, he was buying hay locally from other farmers in the area, but worried that the local supply could dry up in a few months.
"Some farmers are in good shape in my area, and some of us are suffering from the low milk price and lack of feeds," he says.
Castleberg acknowledges that he falls into the latter category. Milk prices at $18 to $19 per hundredweight, he says, are below his cost of production.
The cost of all inputs — from seed to fertilizer — has risen, taking the profit out of the operation. The only bright spot is a lower corn price.
By mid-November, the cost of ground corn (delivered from feed mills) had dropped considerably from last spring. In many locations in the West, ground corn had dropped to around $220 per ton, compared to $310 or so last May and June.
Garden of Eden
Last year, producers in southern Michigan had to deal with dry conditions. This year, more than one farmer in that area (south of Interstate 94) has commented that it's more like the Garden of Eden — thanks to timely rains.
So says Ken Nobis, who farms in central Michigan, but has a good overview of the entire state since he is the leader of a milk cooperative.
"I think everyone has enough feed this year," he says.
A similar story comes from New York State.
Sandy Stauffer, who farms in northern New York, says it's been a good year this year — and from a crop standpoint, probably one of the best years ever. One reason: Frost didn't come until Oct. 20, which is late for northern New York.
With good crop-growing conditions and favorable milk prices, Stauffer says 2013 was a better-than-average year.
Fellow New Yorker Carroll Wade agrees.
"We are going to come out fairly well this year," says
Wade, who runs a 45-cow organic dairy farm with his son near Jasper, N.Y.
He may have to buy a small amount of hay this year — perhaps 2 to 3 percent of his needs — but that's a big improvement from 2012 when he had to buy about 25 percent of his forages because of droughty weather.
Getting more mileage out of his grass hay crop has helped Wade catch up on bills, which has helped make this a better-than-normal year.
"Other farms in our area that grow corn and beans are extremely pleased," he adds. Some have reported having some of the best corn they have ever grown.
External factors
Asked if 2013 was a good year, California dairy farmer George Mertens answers, "not really."
"We're behind the eight-ball in California, there's no getting around it," he says, referring to the state's milk marketing order and a recent decision by state food and agriculture secretary Karen Ross to only temporarily extend price relief for dairy farmers through next June.
Mertens says the price structure in California puts the state's dairy farmers at a disadvantage to farmers in other parts of the nation.
Mertens, who milks about 800 cows near Somona, Calif., says the tough times experienced by California dairy farmers in recent years has caused many to explore other options, such as growing almonds, walnuts and pistachios.
And no discussion of the year would be complete without recognizing the role of exports.
Today, one out of seven tanker loads of milk (or solids equivalent) is exported. That could soon become one out of every six tanker loads based on the momentum experienced late in the year.
In any event, 2013 will be another record year for exports.

The city of Pacific Grove has quietly asked for ideas from three other agencies on the possibility of merged police services.
The city of Monterey responded to the request last week, said City Manager Fred Meurer, whose city already provides fire service to Pacific Grove under a 5-year-old contract.
"We have done a good job with fire service. It only makes sense to explore with police," Meurer said Monday.
The Monterey County Sheriff's Office and the city of Seaside also were invited to submit information to Pacific Grove, which is in the midst of an ongoing battle over rising public safety costs.
Seaside has provided a chief and a few officers to Pacific Grove since last year under shared-service contracts. The city also is working with Carmel, City Manager Thomas Frutchey said in an email.
Pacific Grove Mayor Bill Kampe confirmed the city has reached out to the three agencies about the future of police services in his city.
"We are exploring a number of options in terms of finding ways to reduce costs for various services," Kampe said.
Former Pacific Grove police chief Carl Miller, who retired in 2006, likened the ongoing process to a death knell for the city's 125-year-old police department.
"The police department is going away, and no one is aware of it," Miller said.
A department that had 32 officers in 1996 is down to 11 today, he said. He noted the city police station, as of Dec. 1, has been closed from 11p.m. to 7a.m.
Sheriff Scott Miller declined to comment, referring inquiries to Pacific Grove officials.
The Pacific Grove request was not a formal request for proposals, but a request for information "if we were to merge the two departments," Meurer said.
"This is truly very, very preliminary," he said.
Asked about the contention that the city is looking to shed its police department, Kampe replied, "I would say the first concern should be for effective public safety at a reasonable cost."
Frutchey said the city is looking hard at shared police services, which are "very compelling" on the Monterey Peninsula with six separate police departments.
He said a shared-service contract "would continue the Pacific Grove Police Department, even though there might be contractual relationships for some of the services."
Moe Ammar, president of the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce, said the city's political leaders are in a tough bind on the issue.
Public safety is extremely important to residents, businesses and tourists "and our Police Department has done a great job over the years," Ammar said.
"I think they are looking at every possible angle," he said. "I don't think they have a lot of options."
The city already has contracted out fire and planning services, but Ammar said, "I have to admit police are kind of different.
"I also believe the current council leadership and our city manager wouldn't do anything to jeopardize our public safety," Ammar said.
Pacific Grove has hired a consulting firm to examine how the fire-service contract has worked.
"We are honor- and ethically bound to spend the public's money as cost-effectively as possible," Frutchey said. He noted that both Monterey and the Sheriff's Office provide police services on Pacific Grove's borders.
Frutchey said the city is also exploring ways to share public works and other services.

HEREFORD United are poised to join Chippenham Town and Frome Town in the Premier Division of the Southern League after the Bulls were given permission to join, subject to conditions.
The Bulls can participate in the top flight of the league, following their ejection from the Football Conference, if they meet 'certain criteria within a timeframe imposed by the league'.
Hereford were expelled from the Football Conference earlier this week after the club missed their latest deadline to pay football creditors.
A Southern League statement today said: "Following discussions with Hereford United Football Club regarding their participation in the Southern Football League for the 2014/15 season, the league will accept their inclusion into the competition to play in its Premier Division, subject to the club meeting certain criteria within a time frame imposed by the league.''
The Bulls' Conference expulsion means Chester, relegated from the Conference on the final day of last season, will be reinstated and Hayes & Yeading United will not be relegated from the Conference South into the top flight of the Southern League.
However, the make-up of the Southern League could yet be complicated further by the situation at Conference Salisbury City.
The Whites yesterday missed a 5pm deadline to address the £30,000 owed in wages to staff and players who have not been paid in two months.
Today, Salisbury revealed that they would be relegated next week - with the Wiltshire club are now poised to take legal action to prevent it - although the Football Conference had yet to confirm whether that was the case.
A Salisbury City statement said: "Salisbury City FC are facing expulsion from the Conference on Tuesday after the leagues board decided to relegate them today, despite meeting certain financial demands placed on them.
"On Friday, £75,000 was transferred into the club solicitors' client account to meet unpaid debts.
"The Conference board have also been given assurances that in the next seven days, the funds to meet all outstanding club debts will be paid.
"However, because of a legal issue in relationship to ownership of the club, the Conference board have decided to throw Salisbury City FC out of the league on Tuesday.''
The statement added: "Following legal advice, Salisbury City FC will now consider taking an injunction out on the Conference or taking the case to an FA independent appeal board.
"It is disappointing that the Conference have failed to give the club a seven-day extension to clear up their financial irregularities and as a result of their imminent action it leaves Salisbury City FC with no choice but to take legal steps to safeguard their future.
On an extraordinary day yesterday, City owner Otail Touzar was banned by the club as they requested an extension to deadline to sort out their issues.
Touzar and Mark Winter completed a takeover of the club last month, but while Whites fan Winter had been reported to have put £75,000 of his own money in, Dubai-based Touzar, who owns a 98 per cent stake, had yet to add investment.
An earlier Salisbury statement said yesterday: "The club have, upon legal advice, taken steps to remove the current owner Mr Otail A.S. Touzar, after information surfaced questioning the legitimacy of his takeover of the club.
"Following consultation with legal experts, Mr Touzar has been banned from the club and will be served with legal papers in the forthcoming days to overturn his ownership.
"Salisbury City FC have asked for an extension from the league and presented them with evidence to support their claim."
If they were expelled, the Whites could also seek to join the Southern League.

Video: Nikon S1000pj Digital Camera
Tara W. has worked for Crutchfield since 2004. She writes about whole-house music and video gear, and works on Crutchfield's video team.
More from Tara W.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Nikon's S1000pj features a built-in projector so you can share your photos right away. See it in action in this short Crutchfield review.
Video Transcript
Tara: Hi, I'm Tara, and I'm here in Crutchfield's video studio with the Nikon S1000pj. And this little digital camera gives you everything that you'd expect from a Nikon camera. You're going to get 12-megapixel recording, 5X optical zoom, optical image stabilization and a whole lot more.
But what sets this camera apart is that it has a built in projector, so as soon as you take your photos, you can turn the projector on and show those images on a wall, on the side of a tent, and it's just a whole lot of fun. It's really ideal for kids who always want to see their pictures right after you take them, or for sharing with grandparents. You can bring the camera over to their house and project your latest vacation photos up on the wall.
You can project an image from ten inches to six feet away from any wall. And a handy little focus slider on the top lets you dial in the focus so that everything will appear really crisp. Nikon also includes a stand and remote so you can set the camera down, sit back on the couch, and flip through a slide show.

Behavioral: AAP Infant Colic counseling
Those receiving the control group allocation will be counseled using the American Academy of Pediatrics material for Infant Colic.
Detailed Description:
Hypotheses: The soothing techniques taught to study parents 2-3 wks after birth augment parental soothing skills and reduces infant crying at night (primary outcome) and parental sleep loss, distress, & depression assessed in the home by a masked nurse at 8 wks.
Methods: Term singleton infants with EIC (> 3 hrs/24h) recruited through a program offered to parents at our hospital (4,700 births/yr) will be seen in our clinic 2-3 wks after birth. Consenting families (n=178) will be randomized to standard colic counseling (American Academy of Pediatrics) or to the intervention (adding nurse instruction plus a video and pamphlets). At 8 wks a study nurse will assess parental sleep and distress (Brief Symptom Inventory-18), place dosimeters in rooms where the infant sleeps and spends most time, and apply the actigraph at the ankle. She will collect the devices 5 days later, perform a physical exam at a usual feeding time (when EIC is likely), record infant & maternal behaviors during crying/feeding for the next 15 minutes using unobtrusive, validated methods (Tyson, 1992), and provide maternal support if desired. Standard statistical tests will be used (alpha=0.05; beta = 0.20; effect size =0.5 SD, power = .90).

Situationism International
(movement, 1957-1972)
The Situationist International (SI)(1957-1972) was an international but Paris-based formation which recreated the avant garde tradition on a high plane of intelligence and intransigence. Best known today for its ultra-left politics, the SI was founded by artists who merged two tiny organizations, the Lettrist International (starring filmmaker Guy Debord and his wife Michele Bernstein, a collage artist) and the International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus (including painters Asger Jorn and Giuseppe Pinot-Gallizio).

Choo under weather; Robertson bats leadoff
ARLINGTON -- Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo was feeling under the weather and left out of the lineup Sunday.
Daniel Robertson replaced Choo in the leadoff spot against the Royals and had a double and scored in the first inning on Adrian Beltre's RBI double.
Choo missed five games from April 22-27 with a sprained left ankle, but has played in each of the 103 games since. Not fully recovered from the ankle injury, Choo has started 23 games at designated hitter this season, but been a mainstay in the Texas lineup. Sunday would have marked his 100th straight start.
"Choo was a little bit under the weather this morning, so I wasn't going to push him," Rangers manager Ron Washignton said. "We're going to take this a day at a time. He'll let us know. But today we just weren't going to push it."
Washington did not know if Choo would be available off the bench Sunday, or if he would be ready to come back to the lineup for Monday's series opener in Seattle against the Mariners. Choo hit his 14th career leadoff homer Saturday, and is batting .242 with 13 home runs and 40 RBIs this season.

A surge in hydro power and further inroads from other renewable energy sources is contributing to a drop in carbon emissions from the electricity sector, according to Pitt & Sherry research.
Annualised output from Hydro Tasmania is now at its highest since Tasmania joined the National Electricity Market (NEM) in 2005, while output from the Snowy system is at its highest since 2006, said Hugh Saddler, principal consultant with the Pitt & Sherry consultancy.
Hydro Tasmania "is pretty well at its limit", Dr Saddler said, adding that the carbon tax had "certainly made hydro look attractive".
On an annualised basis, carbon emissions from the NEM - which serves the eastern states and South Australia - are down about 4.2 per cent since the introduction of the carbon price last July.
"The steady fall in demand coupled with the carbon price is undermining the economics of the coal-fired generators," Dr Saddler said.
Demand for electricity has slumped in NSW and Victoria as both states see a drop in industrial activity, while the rapid take-up of solar photovoltaic panels is also eroding the NEM's customer base. Solar PV power generation is about 1-1.5 per cent.
"We are in an oversupply situation," Mike Sandiford, director of the Melbourne Energy Institute, said. "Even with this relatively warm summer, demand has not increased significantly."
In the year to January, wind and hydro energy sources accounted for 12.1 per cent of the NEM generation, with hydro making up 8.4 percentage points of that contribution. Hydro's share has risen from 6.4 per cent of the NEM total since February 2012, in part because of good inflows into dams, Dr Saddler said.
Output from coal-fired power plants has continued to slide.
Floods affected Energy Australia's Yallourn plant in the middle of last year and the company has since opted to shut one of its four units from November to mid-January, Dr Saddler said.
In January, NSW's Wallerawang C power plant announced it would mothball one of its two 500-megawatt units for at least 12 months, starting at the end of last month.
Energy Australia also owns the output from Wallerawang C.

When Julie Weiss crosses the finish line on Sunday in her purple jersey and a flower in her hair, she won't be celebrating having just run 26.2 miles.
For the 42-year-old Santa Monica resident, the L.A. Marathon represents a much larger accomplishment.
The race will mark the end of a journey Weiss set off on last March to run 52 marathons in one year.
That's one marathon a week and a total of 1,362.4 miles. She's well aware people may think she's certifiable for taking on such a task, but she has a purpose.
"When my father passed away from pancreatic cancer, I knew that I had to do something sort of big and dramatic in order to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer because I found out what a severely underfunded disease it was and the statistics are just overwhelming," Weiss says.
"It's the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. It's also the lowest funded. So I thought to myself, 'This is unacceptable.' "
Her father, Maurice, died in 2010 at the age of 75, only 35 days after he was diagnosed with the disease.
Since his symptoms were minor - he had some leg pain, tiredness and acid reflux - by the time the doctors found the cancer, it was stage four and untreatable.
Weiss, whose nickname is Marathon Goddess, decided to combine her love of running with her love for her father to raise awareness and money for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
"People don't have a chance. I've heard of people passing within two weeks, within a week," Weiss says.
"They just don't know because not enough money has been put in for research so they don't have any type of early detection officially at the moment. The money that I'm raising, I know it's going to help a lot of people and I know my dad is smiling down, so it definitely helps me and I know he is proud of me. "
So far she has raised almost $144,000 through her website, marathongoddess.com, which is prominently printed on the back of her racing jerseys - which are purple, the designated color for pancreatic cancer awareness. The money goes to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network which provides patient support and research.
Throughout her campaign, which she has named "52 For You," she has largely remained injury free, only enduring the occasional aches and pains.
She has maintained her full-time job as an accountant for a commercial real estate company, though she has forfeited much of her social life.
Her weekends are spent traveling to where ever her latest marathon is taking place - she's run one in an estimated 18 states so far.
And her weekdays are spent working, recovering and spending time with her children and her fiance David Levine, who happens to be a marathon coach.
"I think she and the goal are absolutely amazing," Levine says. "There are a lot of amazing people out there, but none are as amazing as her."
When she first came to Levine with her idea, he says he just looked at it as another goal, another challenge, and gave her a list of things she'd need to accomplish it.
That includes about 70 grams of protein a day to rebuild her muscle tissue, which can be difficult to accomplish since she's a vegetarian, she says.
She wears compression tights to increase blood circulation in her legs, she goes to bed by 10 p.m. every night, weight trains once a week and sees a sports physician weekly.
Somehow even after running a marathon once a week for a year, Weiss hasn't burned herself out either.
While her current mission will come to an end this week, she plans to run in more marathons. She has two more goals she plans to tackle including running in South Africa's Comrades Marathon, an ultra marathon with a total of 56 miles.
And since the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network's goal is to double the survivor rate by 2020, Weiss wants to double the amount of marathons she's run by then. She even has a possible slogan for it already: "104, Back For More. "
But for now, she's concentrating on number 52.
If you plan on being there, aside from her purple get-up and bright smile, you'll be able to spot her by the big "52" balloon she plans on tying around her waist.
" 'Fifty two for you,' it's for all of you. It's not for me. I'm not just running marathons for the heck of it, it's for you guys. It's to spread awareness. It's to beat this disease," Weiss says. "I'm not running against a time. I'm not running to beat anyone. I'm only running to beat pancreatic cancer, and I intend to win. I'm not stopping until I do. "

Freese sits with sore left knee
ANAHEIM -- Third baseman David Freese was held out of the starting lineup Wednesday with a sore left patellar tendon sustained during Tuesday night's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Freese came into the game as a pinch-hitter for John McDonald in the sixth inning and singled to center. He remained in the game to play third base.
Freese said he hurt it during his sixth-inning strikeout against Clayton Kershaw on Tuesday but the injury did not affect him on the field. He did not take batting practice Wednesday.
Freese committed two errors Tuesday night, leading to two unearned Dodger runs, including the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. He has hits in five of his last six games and is hitting .391 with four RBIs over that span. His .251 average is the highest it's been since July 21.

Heres a video of my driving practice t'other morning. I appear to be headless, but never mind!
Comments welcome.
I've been playing since last spring/summer, mostly sidearm, so its about time I sorted out my Backhand.
My own thought is I'm not getting my elbow forward enough, or reaching back far enough.
My trailing hand should be back out of the way, rather than forward.
I'm also a bit erratic in how far I reach back each throw, especially if I rush the shot.
These shots are with an aviar, ion, ion, viper, mako, comet, teebird, teebird, ascent, sidewinder, sidewinder.... possibly.
They are all going between 40 and 50 metres (130 to 165 feet?) slightly uphill, thrown flat(ish).

July 17, 2013 — While waiting to be interviewed for a board director position, a senior executive woman at a Fortune 100 company overhears the Board Chair ask the recruiter, "Why are we interviewing her?"
Is the Board Chair's reaction surprising? Perhaps not. Despite all the lip service being paid to women's representation on corporate boards, women are still unusual suspects when it comes to being recruited for board service. Indeed, between 2009 and 2011, women occupied fewer than one in five seats on Fortune 500 and FP 500 boards.
This lack of progress in adding women to corporate boards is out of step with the new reality, which is that gender diversity in the boardroom is increasingly seen as a reflection of good governance. Formal and informal approaches to increasing women's representation are being refined around the globe. The question for companies shouldn't be, "Why add a woman to our board?" but rather, "Why not add a woman?"
Catalyst has been asking "why not" for some time. Why not have more women in senior executive roles? Why not choose a woman for that hot job? Catalyst has invested in women and business for the past five decades, largely through our ground-breaking research and initiatives, and now we've made another investment. As of today, Catalyst has acquired Women On Board® Canada, a highly successful board mentoring program that promotes the appointment of women to corporate boards. Women On Board®'s mentoring program matches board-ready senior executive women with corporate board members, and it's remarkably successful: 32 percent of Women On Board® alumnae have been appointed to for-profit boards.
Our investment in this program further demonstrates Catalyst's commitment to making change in the boardroom. Women On Board® joins an array of board- and governance-related initiatives Catalyst offers to identify challenges and solutions related to women's advancement in the boardroom. The endowed Catalyst Research Center for Equity in Business Leadership tracks and identifies challenges, and our Corporate Board Services group houses a number of initiatives designed to meet those challenges.
What happened to the woman interviewing for that board director position? After a rigorous selection process, she was invited to join the board. Her experience represents a new recognition that plenty of talented executive women are already out there—but their talents can only be discovered and tapped into once they have been identified as "board-ready." The women are there; it's up to companies to use the many resources available to find them.
The "new normal" in today's boardroom is the expectation that companies will make a good-faith effort to recruit talented women and minority candidates who can bring fresh perspectives to the table. We've moved beyond asking whether companies should invest in women to having serious conversations about how best to do this. Companies face the choice of whether to lead or lag on this issue. And Catalyst is well positioned to help those that are ready to lead.

Further study details as provided by Lampiris, Harry W., M.D.:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of high dose kaletra liquid and capsules in the treatment of highly antiretroviral experienced, protease inhibitor resistant HIV disease.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To compare traditional pharmacokinetic measures of the two formulations (kaletra liquid and kaletra capsules) in a subset of the patients included in the primary analysis.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|October 2005
This study is a safety, efficacy, and tolerability study of high dose kaletra in patients who have failed multiple antiretroviral regimens, including prior treatment with 3 classes of antiretroviral drugs (nucleoside/nucleotide analogues, non-nucleoside analogues, and at least one protease inhibitor based ARV regimen), in conjunction with optimized background therapy. Patients will initially be treated with high dose kaletra capsules and optimized background therapy for 4 weeks and then switched to equivalent doses of high dose kaletra liquid formulation for a total duration of therapy of 24 weeks. The primary endpoint of the study will be the average HIV RNA change from baseline through 24 weeks (HIV RNA AACUMB). Secondary endpoints will include the proportion achieving HIV RNA < 50 and HIV RNA < 400 copies/mL at 24 weeks. Changes in CD4 from baseline, change in LPV fold change in phenotypic resistance testing, changes in fasting metabolic parameters, assessment of safety at week 24 based upon hematology, chemistry, liver function, lipid levels, proportion of patients reporting adverse events and proportion of patients with SAEs, and demonstration of bioequivalence by 12 hour pharmacokinetic measurements.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – A civil liberties group has asked Virginia's inspector general to investigate last month's detention of a former Marine who posted strident anti-government messages on Facebook.
Brandon Raub of Chesterfield County was held for psychiatric evaluation for a week before a judge ordered his release, ruling that an involuntary commitment order contained no allegation or basis to hold him.
In a letter Friday to the inspector general, the Charlottesville-based Rutherford Institute says officials may have abused the state's involuntary commitment statutes to punish a citizen for speech that they found distasteful. The organization, which provided a lawyer for Raub, also raises due process concerns.
The inspector general's office did not immediately return telephone and email messages to The Associated Press.

Yet most dangerous of all is a new Dark Jedi, risen from the ashes of a shrouded past, consumed by bitterness...and scheming to corrupt Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side.

"Marc Thompson Delivers Again!"
Having listened to the First volume of the Thrawn Series done by Thompson, I knew I had to wait until he completed his versions of the second two volumes. I am glad I waited. The story is excellent, as most people already know. However, Thompson gives an excellent performance enhanced by a great and not overbearing soundtrack, deliver an amazing entertainment experience. Get this audio-book, you will not be disappointed.
Finally the unabridged version. What more could you want? Marc Thompson did a great job with the reading and the production quality seems to be on pair with all the other Star Wars books. I would say this is a must have.
I like my horror, techno-thrillers, and science fiction. Which is why Jurassic Park and The Lost World are 2 of my favorite books ever!
"The adventure continues..."
Following in the footsteps of last year's 20th anniversary release of Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire, Marc Thompson delivers another perfect performance with this second installment of The Thrawn Trilogy. For the uninitiated, this series' popularity helped launch the expanded universerse we all take for granted now. For example, the 'Imperial Planet' was first named Coruscant in this trilogy. If you enjoyed it as much as I did, this audiobook will make you want to listen to the third and final book, The Last Command, thankfully also available unabridged and narrated by Marc Thompson. The Force is strong with this one!
"Why didn't they use this writing for the movie!?"
The force awakens is a horrible recycled plot. This trilogy thus far has been great! I'm pretending the movie in my head is the one in theaters.
Books are great! Audiobooks are better...Oh no he didn't!!
"Marc Thompson,Timothy Zahn what else do you need?"
Marc Thompson' performance of this brilliant story is second to none. He created voices for previously unknown characters and did a fantastic job on mimicing the characters we all know from the first three films. His portrayal of Grand Admiral Thrawn really made the character come to life. He was menacing and always in control. Really great series.
"Great performance, decent story"
Awesome performance of the OT characters voices, he's got Han and Luke perfected.
Story was a little lackluster but hey it's Star Wars
"Just amazing"
I enjoy the series every time I hear it best book series every time I listen to it get better
"Hot Damn"
A must for every star wars fan. Keeps you on the edge of your seat
"Like "Empire" the middle volume is great"
One of the best
Marc Thompson's reading
Great voice acting. Mark and Jim Dale are the best.
Another great book by Tim Zahn. Hope they re-do the "Hand of Thrawn" series. Un-Abridged and with Marc Thompson doing the reading.
"Great Story with a Superb Performance!!!"
I just turned 40 but this audiobook made me feel like a kid again! So much fun and action and intrigue. I will listen to this book over and over again.
What a wild, extensive and intriguing continuation of book 1. A vast array of characters and worlds with a great plot, with a nice bit of mystery and the perfect adversary!
I have quickly become a huge fan of Marc Thompson because of his supreme talent. He is a true Actor and not just a narrator. He has perfect timing and a wide range or character voices and accents. Simply the best!
With the impeccable performance by Marc Thompson and the authentic Star Wars sounds and music I found myself feeling the emotions that the text conveyed...angry, anxious, nervous, wonder, bewildered, relief etc. Thank you Random House for an outstanding production!!!
I'll say it again... Timothy Zahn and Marc Thompson make magic together. Great writing and great performance!

Spring Cleaning Your Electronic Gear, Tip #2: Cleaning your components
Kristen is a former copywriter for Crutchfield. She wrote copy for both the web and catalog, covering a variety of home A/V products that included speakers, camcorders, and Blu-ray players. She also wrote a number articles and blog posts for the Crutchfield Know Zone.
More from Kristen Schaub
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Last week I talked about cleaning your TV. But chances are, you'll probably have more trouble keeping all of the various components on your TV stand or cabinet clean. So what's the best way to get the job done?
Tip #2: Cleaning your components - Blu-ray and DVD players, receivers, etc.
Next to TVs, these units may be the dustiest of all. They usually sit in a stack, with dust accumulating around and under them. Even those of us who conscientiously wipe them down usually leave the buttons largely untouched, and the spaces underneath and to the sides of them undusted. And the cables behind them? A breeding-ground for dust bunnies.
Here's the problem: these components usually have a lot of venting to keep them cool. That venting is designed to let air circulate - but it also lets dust circulate, and dust, once it gets inside the guts of your gear, isn't coming out again.
Ideally, of course, your gear is tucked away inside an A/V cabinet, where its exposure to dust, pet hair, or direct sunlight is limited. Realistically, however, a lot of people have their gear on open-sided shelves or even sitting directly on the floor. And even those of us who do have their components closed up know that dust gets into those cabinets and piles up.
The solution? Frequent attention to keeping those components neat and tidy. Careful cleaning, especially in the case of equipment with an optical laser (like a Blu-ray or DVD player), is likely to prolong your gear's life.
Cleaning the chassis:
- Use a soft cotton cloth. A light spray of glass cleaner may be applied to the cloth to improve dust adhesion.
- Always dust the topmost items first (you'll inevitably knock dust down onto other stuff).
- Wipe away from vent holes, to avoid pushing debris into the component's interior.
Cleaning the front panel:
- A soft, dry paintbrush is a great tool to use in getting buttons and knobs clean; you can dislodge dust without changing settings.
- When cleaning the displays, again resort to a soft dry cloth. (A small amount of glass cleaner on the cloth may be used to remove smudges.)
- A can of compressed air works well for hard-to-reach places, like the cooling fan behind the vents or the back of the component. Just be sure to watch where you're blowing dust - you don't want to blow it deeper into the chassis.
Dust inside a component:
Blu-ray and DVD players often get pet hair or dust inside them, by way of that front tray. There are optical lens cleaner discs that can solve these basic dust and debris problems. These discs use small brushes or tiny holes in the disc that create wind to clean your player's lens and, in some cases, reduce the electrostatic charges that helped the lens gather dust in the first place. (Checking borrowed or rental discs for dirt before you put them in your player is another good habit to maintain.)
Dust inside a component's guts is harder to solve on your own. By taking off the cover, you're very likely to void the warranty. Besides, taking off the cover exposes a component to even more debris. If you have reason to believe that dust inside the component's chassis is a real problem, a repair service is probably your best bet.This tip is an excerpt from my recent article in the Crutchfield Learning Center, Keeping your A/V Gear Clean.

DETROIT (AP) -- U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is coming to Detroit to make "a major funding announcement" that is expected to involve plans for a light rail system between the city's downtown and the cultural, medical and educational center a few miles north.
LaHood's office says Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, U.S. Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow and others will be at Wayne State University at 9:30 a.m. Friday to reveal details of a plan "that will significantly expand transit options in downtown Detroit."
Gov. Rick Snyder says he'll attend, too.
The U.S. Transportation Department didn't reveal details, but LaHood has been in talks for months with city, regional and state officials on their part of a deal to create a 3.3-mile light rail line that's expected to cost $137 million.

Friday morning someone broke into Plattner's Chiefland Ford sales office, but that person was not in a buying mood.
The person instead took the keys to vehicles on the sales lot and picked out a top of the line $70,000 Ford F-150 Platinum pickup truck, black in color, and drove off. But not before also damaging an orange Mustang and scattering keys in the lot and taking two dealer tags, numbers PG535G and PG533G.
Michael Lee Hannigan, 33, of Chiefland is sitting in the Levy County Jail under a $1 million bond after being arrested on Sunday, July 3 at about 10:30 p.m. by the Chiefland Police Department and Levy County Sheriff's Office following a report of a man being attacked with a knife in the area of Northeast 11th Terrace.
The victim said he found a man sleeping in his camper located in the back yard of his residence. The victim said when he tried to call police, the man followed him and attacked him with a knife before fleeing on foot.
UPDATE: A Chiefland woman is the second fatality in a July 2 accident that ccurred on State Road 24 near Bronsn Speedway.
Susan R. Hill, 50, died at Shands Hospital on Sunday, July 10. She had been hospitalized since the accident.

The Levy County Drug Task Force and Levy County Sheriff's Office investigators wrapped up an investigation into a methamphetamine lab that started shortly after deputies responded Feb. 22 to a call about a child's death at 755 Pennsylvania Ave, in Bronson.
During that investigation a meth lab was discovered and dismantled on the property. Based on the evidence gathered in February, Investigator Joe Barrera was able to obtain an arrest warrant for Amanda Marie Davis, 37, for one count of trafficking in meth and one count of manufacturing meth.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
•May 21, Christopher Allen Barron, 33, Trenton, possession of marijuana. Bond $2,500.

•May 22, Teresa Elizabeth Betts, 28, Chiefland, petit theft.
A Chiefland couple was arrested on Wednesday, May 25, after a search of their home on May 19 turned up evidence of methamphetamines being made while children were in the residence, according to a Levy County Sheriff's Office press release.
Jeffrey and Kelly Koschatzky were not at home when the search warrant, which was issued based on information gathered by sheriff's investigators, was carried out.
Jeffrey Koschatzky, 37, and Kelly Crews Koschatzky, 38, are charged with manufacturing meth, possession of meth, child neglect and keeping a house for drugs.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office is winning convictions — 58 thus far — for its massive Operation Melting Pot that concluded July 2015 with the arrests of 68 people.

The owner reported a combined loss of approximately $1,635.00 including damage to the building.

Toronto claims outfielder Tuiasosopo off waivers
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- The Blue Jays claimed outfielder Matt Tuiasosopo off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks late Thursday afternoon.
Tuiasosopo appeared in 81 games last season with the Tigers, hitting .244 with seven home runs and 30 RBIs in 81 games. In parts of four big league seasons with the Mariners and Tigers, Tuiasosopo is a career .207 hitter with 12 home runs and 45 RBIs in 142 games.
The 27-year-old has the ability to play left field and also the corner-infield positions. With Detroit in 2013, Tuiasosopo appeared in 63 games in left field, 13 at first and one at third. He was originally taken in the third round of the 2004 First-Year Player Draft.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Blue Jays decided to release left-hander Luis Perez. The Dominican Republic native missed almost all of last season following Tommy John surgery, but he was very successful out of the bullpen in 2012.
Perez was a known favorite of then-manager John Farrell, and he posted a 3.43 ERA while tossing 43 innings until he got hurt during a game against the A's on July 8. Since then, there has been several setbacks from Tommy John surgery, and Perez was recently sent to Minor League camp.
