Tanezumab Reduces Joint Pain, Improves Function in Knee Osteoarthritis |
Tanezumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds and inhibits nerve growth factor (NGF), was found to be effective in reducing joint pain and improving function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), according to new research. Nancy E. Lane, MD, from the University of CaliforniaDavis Medical School, in Sacramento, and colleagues, reported the findings online today in the New England Journal of Medicine. Tanezumab May Work "Too Well"According to Dr. Lane, the blocking of the NGF protein significantly reduces knee pain more than is observed with any other medication. "Tanezumab works so well that patients may need to be warned not to use or overuse their joints...they may forget they have knee OA, and it is important to remember that pain does serve as a reminder to take it easy on joints," Dr. Lane told Medscape Medical News. As a result of the progressively worsening OA, which occurred in 16 patients out of many hundreds participating in 1 of 13 phase 3 studies for OA of the hip or knee and was associated with radiograpich bone necrosis, the US Food and Drug Administration put the phase 3 study and 2 other studies of tanezumab on hold as of June 22, 2010. According to the researchers, increased NGF expression is found in inflamed tissues caused by diseases such as arthritis, pancreatitis, and prostatitis. "Pharmacologic inhibition of the activity of nerve growth factor in these models reduces or blocks signs of pain." Dr. Lane and colleagues conducted a phase 2 proof-of-concept study in 450 patients with moderate to severe OA of the knee. On days 1 and 56, patients received placebo or tanezumab at doses of 10, 25, 50, 100, or 200 μg/kg body weight. Pain, stiffness, and physical function were assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, as were efficacy measures (knee pain while walking and patient's global assessment of response to therapy). The rate of response was measured using the Outcome Measures in Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trials/Osteoarthritis Research Society International response criteria. Significant Improvements in Pain and Response ScoresFrom week 1 to week 16 of treatment, pain reduction averaged from 45% to 62% compared with 22% with placebo (P < .001). Tanezumab was also associated with improved response to therapy, with global assessment score increases of 29% to 47% vs 19% with placebo (P ≤ .001). The rate of response was 74% to 93% vs 44% with placebo (P < .001). Adverse events associated with tanezumab occurred in 68% of patients compared with 55% for placebo. The most common adverse event in tanezumab-treated patients were headache (9%), upper respiratory tract infection (7%), and paresthesia (7%). According to Dr. Lane, further studies are needed to understand how long tanezumab remains effective and to find a dose that is efficacious, safe, and tolerable. "This type of pain medication may be a major step forward in improving the pain and quality of life with individuals with chronic pain from OA and possibly other diseases. The future looks bright," she said. In a related editorial, John N. Wood, DSc, from the University of London, United Kingdom, notes that the use of neutralizing antibodies to NGF seems to provide an "effective analgesic therapy," but he adds that the "most problematic issue is joint failure...most likely caused by excessive wear and tear in the absence of joint pain," Dr. Wood writes. "The study by Lane et al. suggests that a complete quenching of pain in patients with [OA] may not necessarily be a good thing," he added. Mechanism of Joint Deterioration UnclearIndependent commentator Patrick Mantyh, PhD, JD, from the University of Arizona, in Tucson, who researches mechanisms of skeletal pain, noted that NGF is released in response to tissue injury and then binds to receptors called TrkA, expressed by nociceptors, causing pain. "By blocking the NGF, pain can be blocked," he toldMedscape Medical News. According to Dr. Mantyh, 2 possible explanations for the observation of joint deterioration may be overuse by the patients the pain relief caused them to use the affected joint more and anti-NGF having an effect on bone itself (ie, NGF release and TrkA expression may be involved in normal bone maintenance). "I don't think we know what the answer is," he said. "However, this is a very elegant paper, and really shows that NGF does play a pivotal role in driving [OA] pain. That, in and of itself, I think is a major advance and still a very definitive observation." The research was supported in part by Pfizer and Rinat Neuroscience, now a subsidiary of Pfizer. The authors report receiving funding and other financial support from Pfizer as well as Annenberg CME Foundation and many other pharmaceutical companies including, but not limited to, Novartis, Roche, Nordic Bioscience, Stryker, Genentech Amgen, and Eli Lilly. Dr. Wood reports receiving consultancy fees from Pfizer, Dr. Mantyh has disclosed no relevant financial relationships. NEJM. Published online September 29, 2010.

Joe Cowley continues to write for the Chicago Sun-TImes and ignore sexist tweets
Over the weekend, Chicago Sun-Times sports columnist Joe Cowley took his own career into a nosedive and crash landed it in flaming wreckage of discrimination and sexism. One of the fundamentally great things about Twitter is that sooner or later, ignorance is exposed and those people self-destruct. Joe Cowley was just the latest victim of falling on his own tweeting sword.
In case you missed the story, Deadspin has the handy recap of Cowley not only going on a sexist rant against female flight attendants and pilots, but female sportswriter Sloane Martin when she dared to stand up for her gender. The audacity. Cowley tried to laugh it off as being some kind of professional wrestling villian, but he was the only one laughing at such gems like...
"I'm more likely to see a Squatch before I see a hot flight attendant. Then again, I think the airlines are hiring Squatch's to do that job."
"Chick pilot. Should I be OK with that or am I just a sexist caveman?"
"it's a fact women followers stay attached to me longer."
"hottie up that pic"
Hilarious. Phenomenal. Those words of Cowley were SO FUNNY that the entire sports universe turned against him in a way not seen since his old Sun-Times colleague Jay Mariotti was in the headlines. After Cowley's ranting was through, voices came from everywhere expressing little surprise that he was finally detonating for all the world to see given his past coarse, offensive behavior. But then Cowley did something that Jay Mariotti himself might look down upon.
Joe Cowley deleted his Twitter account.
Just like that, he was gone. He never said he was sorry, just some sort of halfway apology where he opined that he thought people had "figured this account out" and he was "wrong."
It is the coward's way out. Plain and simple. Instead of actually apologizing, instead of owning up to your mistake, instead of taking the @cst_Cowley replies in a stand-up fashion, Joe Cowley ran away and hid from the criticism.
Well, he hasn't hid completely. No, unbelievably, since Cowley's abusive rampage on Sunday afternoon, he has written three articles for the Chicago Sun-Times covering the Bulls-Sixers series published after his controversial tweets:

Fivestar Expands Storied Basketball Brand into Digital, Mobile Athletic Instruction
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Fivestar Training, together with its legendary affiliate Fivestar Basketball brand, launched today its first mobile training platform with internationally renowned soccer superstars Wayne Rooney and Alex Morgan. The Fivestar Soccer Training Program will be available as an iPhone app and will provide aspiring youth players with world-class training from the top soccer stars via instructional videos, games and interactive simulations. Fivestar will release similar products in basketball and lacrosse in the near future.
Through Fivestar Soccer Training, Fivestar is translating its storied brand of basketball skills development into a digital athletic training brand accessible to young athletes around the world. Through the Fivestar Soccer Training program, youth soccer players can learn from the same sports education brand that Michael Jordan credits with "chang[ing] his life."
The renowned Fivestar Basketball Camp is widely acclaimed as the leader in basketball education. Over the 40-plus year history of Fivestar Basketball, many of the greatest NBA players – from Julius Erving to Kevin Durant to LeBron James – have honed their skills through Fivestar's elite coaching and comprehensive training curriculum. Tapping into this extensive legacy of athletic inspiration and sports education, Fivestar Training will assist young soccer players in developing their skill set and reaching their potential.
"Fivestar has a clear mission: To help young athletes improve and excel at the sports they love to play. In the age of mobile technology and social media, we believe the most efficient way to bring the best-in-class training programs, workouts and tools that Fivestar is known for to up-and-coming athletes is through the Fivestar Training mobile app," said Nick Blatchford, Chief Executive Officer of Fivestar. "With Alex and Wayne helping to design and lead the workouts, our Fivestar Soccer Training Programs will inspire young players to improve, refine and develop their games and empower parents and coaches with accessible and affordable sports training options. We look forward to soon releasing similar programs and products in basketball, lacrosse and other popular youth sports."
The programs are designed to help players of all ages and skill levels improve their technique and increase overall fitness levels. Each program consists of 5 full 40-60 minute workouts and is supported by two of the world's greatest players: Wayne Rooney and Alex Morgan. The Fivestar Soccer Training Programs were created by Dr. Javier Perez. He is one of the few European coaches holding the UEFA PRO license and a PhD in Exercise Physiology and he holds qualifications from the Spanish and English FA. A native of Spain, Dr. Perez developed his expertise as a coach in Real Madrid's youth system and he is now the head coach of the U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team.
Available in a download-to-own model, players can follow step-by-step guidelines from Rooney and Morgan on their mobile devices and record their performance along the way, grading their accomplishments and sharing their progress. Players can record, save and track progress for each workout and earn points and rewards for their achievements, including once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for one-on-one training sessions with Wayne and Alex.
The Fivestar Soccer Training Program also comes with interactive "1 v 1 Challenges," allowing users to compete in one-on-one video contests against Rooney or Morgan. Players watch the star athlete demonstrate a drill, trick or signature move, then record themselves side-by-side with the pros and showcase their skills to the world by sharing their videos on social media platforms.
"I've always enjoyed helping young players learn the game and get better. Through Fivestar Training, I'm able to help footballers around the world," said Wayne Rooney. "It's great for young kids to challenge themselves against someone they see play on TV. When I was younger, that's something I would have loved to do."
"I embrace the opportunity to inspire young players to celebrate the game of soccer and live active and healthy lives," said Alex Morgan. "The Fivestar Soccer Training Program will help grow their love for the game from their mobile devices anywhere and at any time. With the use of innovative technology, Fivestar provides kids with affordable options for more training and ultimately achieving their goals on and off the field."
The Fivestar Training app is available now in the iTunes App Store. The app is free for download, and comes with a batch of free workouts, 1 v 1 Challenges and exclusive training tips and advice from Fivestar's training experts and athletes. Players can purchase individual workouts for $5.99 or full training programs for $19.99.

MyEclipse: MyEclipse 10.0.1 Milestone is Now Available
- Nov 20, 2011 - 07:39 PM
Post subject:
MyEclipse 10.0.1 Milestone is Now Available
MyEclipse 10.0.1 is now publicly available in our milestone stream. Genuitec plans to increase the frequency of updates on the milestone stream in order to push fixes and enhancements to our customers at a higher frequency than what has traditionally been maintained in our production streams. While stable, milestone releases do not undergo the rigorous QA and polish processes that are part of our production stream releases - this allows for the release of faster updates and fixes.
The milestone installation can be used in parallel with a production installation; installing a milestone stream release will not change your production stream installation.
You can get a milestone release using either of the following techniques:
1) Use our online installers, which are available
Note: This installer may not always install the latest milestone. Please check for updates after installation by looking at the
Updates Available
section in the
tab of the
MyEclipse Configuration Center (Help > MyEclipse Configuration Center)
Of course, if you already have a prior 10.0.1 milestone installed,simply check for updates to get the latest version.
2) If you are a Pulse user, start Pulse and from the Indigo realm, choose
Ready to Use Profiles > Browse Categories
- from the
node, select either the
MyEclipse or MyEclipse Blue (Milestone Stream)
profile, right click and choose
In either case, if you already have a production install of MyEclipse 10.0.0, the additional download will be minimal. For a faster online installation process, you can install MyEclipse from our
production stream
using our offline installers and then run the online installer for MyEclipse 10.0.1.
Release History

On Windows, you will still need to go to
Help > MyEclipse Configuration Center
, click the
tab and remove the
MyEclipse IE JavaScript Debugger
feature before PDT can be installed. Please see
this thread
for more info.

Let your bass drum travel in style and comfort with an Ahead Armor soft case.
Ahead Armor Cases feature an innovative teardrop shape along with several additional breakthroughs in drum case design and construction. Boasting patented TruForm design, the shape of each Ahead Armor drum case corresponds to the shape of the drum plus its mounting hardware. The teardrop design allows a much snugger drum fit, and prevents the case from rolling away while you're loading in or out.
Armor cases incorporate Ahead's exclusive DX-Core. The drum-hugging DX-Core provides the stiffness of two layers of high-impact foam padding plus the softness of premium-grade Sherpa Fleece lining. This increases both the shock-absorption of the bags and the protection of the drums. Yet, the plush interior of each case is complemented by the strength and durability of a virtually indestructible, weather-resistant, water-proof, double-stitched, 600-denier, and polyester fabric exterior.
The patented DynaZip system makes it easier to take the drums in and out of the cases by combining an ingenious cutaway design with a zipper that travels along the diameter of the case as well as down both sides of the cutout.

Reason-Rupe Poll: Just 32 Percent Say President Obama Is Handling Foreign Policy Better Than President George W. Bush Did
74 percent of Americans say strikes on Syria would be "unwise" and half of Americans believe the "D.C. establishment" wants war more than the public does
September 10, 2013As the country debates launching airstrikes on Syria, President Barack Obama's standing on foreign policy has taken such a hit that the latest Reason-Rupe poll finds 64 percent of Americans, including 68 percent of independents and 41 percent of Democrats, believe President Obama's handling of foreign policy is worse than, or the same as, former President George W. Bush's handling of foreign policy. Just 32 percent of Americans say President Obama is handling foreign policy better than Bush did.
California, Los Angeles Drowning in a Sea of Taxes, Regulation, and Debt
Public Knows Burdensome Regulations Are Sending Jobs to Other Cities and States
December 3, 2012Business owners certainly know it, and it appears the general public knows it as well: Burdensome state and local taxes and regulations are hindering economic growth and opportunity in Los Angeles and throughout the state.
Banks Viewed Twice as Favorably as the Federal Government, Reason-Rupe Poll Finds
Survey examines how Ron Paul, Sarah Palin, Michael Bloomberg and Gary Johnson could do as third-party presidential candidates and asks Americans which federal agencies they�d cut
December 20, 2011The Occupy Wall Street movement tapped into anger about bank bailouts, crony capitalism and corporate welfare, but it turns out that most Americans are mad at the federal government and not their banks. A new Reason-Rupe Poll finds 76 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of their banks and just 15 percent view them unfavorably.
In contrast, only 32 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of the federal government. Sixty-two percent of voters rate the federal government unfavorably, according to the national Reason-Rupe poll of 1,200 adults on cell phones and landlines.
Forty-nine percent of Americans approve of the job President Obama is doing, with 47 percent disapproving. Only 13 percent approve of the job Congress is doing, 80 percent disapprove.
Fifty-four percent of Americans also say they are more worried that the federal government will do something to make the economy worse, while 40 percent are more worried that the government will fail to take action on the economy.
State governments are more popular than the feds, but only half of all Americans view them positively. As you get closer to home, 58 percent of Americans have positive views of their local governments and the same number look upon their local school districts favorably.
The survey finds people feel a lot better about private businesses. For example, 88 percent of Americans have a positive view of their grocery stores; 73 percent look favorably upon their cell phone makers; and 69 percent say they view their Internet service providers favorably.
Three-Quarters of Americans Support a Federal Government Spending Cap
May 17, 2011, 10:06pmThe recent Reason-Rupe national telephone survey of 1,200 adults found that over 74 percent of Americans say the federal government should have spending cap that prevents it from spending more than it takes in during a fiscal year. Sixty-four percent of Democrats support implementing a spending cap, as do 76 percent of independents and nearly 85 percent of Republicans.
Cutting the Debt Is Important to 96 Percent of Americans and 74 Percent Want a Government Spending Cap
Tired of red ink and politics as usual, 80 percent say they�d consider voting for a third-party or independent presidential candidate in 2012
May 3, 2011As the federal government rapidly approaches the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, 96 percent of Americans say it is important to reduce the national debt, according to a new Reason Foundation-Rupe poll. Of those surveyed, 69 percent believe reducing the national debt is "very important."
With the debt piling up, it is also clear that taxpayers do not trust the federal government to live within its means. In fact, the Reason-Rupe survey finds 74 percent of Americans support implementing a spending cap that would prohibit the government from spending more money than it takes in during a fiscal year. Only 19 percent oppose a government spending cap.
The most popular policy prescription for reducing the national debt is spending cuts: 45 percent of people say Congress should bring down the debt by reducing spending without raising taxes. Another 16 percent favor reducing the debt primarily through spending cuts, but are open to some tax increases; 14 percent prefer an equal emphasis on spending cuts and tax increases; 8 percent want to reduce the debt primarily through higher taxes with some spending cuts; 4 percent say current spending levels should be maintained and taxes should be raised as needed; and 1 percent of Americans say we shouldn't do anything about the debt.
The Reason-Rupe poll included several open-ended questions that allowed respondents to voice concerns and share their own ideas. When asked to name the biggest problem facing America today, 30 percent say the economy, 23 percent emphasize jobs and unemployment, and 10 percent cite government spending, debts and deficits.
When given the opportunity to name any government program they'd like to spend less money on 22 percent of Americans suggest cutting military and defense spending.

Fire Piston Fire Starters
are pre-tested to assure optimum performance and are intended to provide a lifetime of service. We will therefore repair or replace any of one these items that fails to perform for any reason - no questions asked. If you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, simply return it in original condition within five days for a full refund. Fire pistons by Wilderness Solutions are the only compression fire starters endorsed by knowledgeable outdoorsmen such as Ron Hood of Hoods Woods, Mountain Mel Deweese and Allan "Bow" Beauchamp.
Because O rings seal so effectively, all fire pistons having an O ring suffer from an inherent drawback. Trapped air inside the cylinder prevents full insertion. Like a spring, the compressed air forces the piston back out of the cylinder making it inconvenient to carry and causing the risk of a lost piston. We find solutions such as putting a thread under the o ring or changing O rings to be unacceptable and have therefore developed a solution to this problem - and it works so well its being patented. The solution was to engineer an integral pressure relief valve that allows the trapped air to be released yet that is easily re-sealed, enabling full compression for fire lighting. Once the valve is closed, the piston is effectively trapped by vacuum preventing its accidental loss in the field.
The 2nd Generation pistons feature brass tipped shafts for long service and durability. Like all Wilderness Solutions fire pistons they're covered by a lifetime repair warrantee.
This item features:

2nd Generation fire pistons are absolutely the hotest firing and latest state of development in compression fire starting.
The 2nd Generation, vented fire pistons from Wilderness Solutions are the hottest firing, most effective fire pistons in the world. With their patent pending pressure relief valve they set a new standard of performance in compression fire starting devices. These fire pistons are pre-tested to assure optimum performance and are intended to provide a lifetime of service. We will therefore repair or replace any of our fire pistons that fails to perform for any reason - no questions asked. If you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, simply return it in original condition within five days for a full refund.
A fire piston is a device of ancient origin which is used to kindle fire. It uses the principle of the heating of a gas (in this case air) by its rapid compression to ignite a piece of tinder, which is then used to set light to kindling.
A fire piston consists of a hollow cylinder ranged in size from around 3 inches to 6 inches (7.5 cm to 15 cm) long, sealed at one end and open at the other. A piston, about a quarter inch (ca 0.64 cm) in diameter, can slide into the cylinder forming an airtight seal with the cylinder wall. The piston has a handle on the end to allow a firm grip to be applied to it and can be completely withdrawn from the cylinder.
Native, and modern versions, are made from wood, horn, antler and bamboo. Lead was used to cast fire pistons in both modern and native versions. Other metals have also been used in modern versions. The piston has a notch or recess in its face into which a piece of tinder is placed.
The piston must be rammed quickly into the sealed cylinder with a single stroke. The compression of the air causes the temperature to rise rapidly to 260 degrees Celsius, or 500 degrees Fahrenheit. This is hot enough for the tinder on the piston face to ignite. It can then be withdrawn and transferred to a larger mass of kindling to create a fire
If you have ever made fire by friction or been frustrated in the attempt, you know how much effort goes into getting a coal. Now... imagine being able to create that glowing, smoking coal in one instant and with no effort....
As a survival device, one of the most compelling aspects of Wilderness Solutions fire pistons is their ability to ignite a variety of natural tinders that can be collected in the woods and fields without special preparation. Some of these tinders having practical value for fire making include true tinder fungus, mullein pith, milkweed pod ovum, milkweed down, cattail fluff, poplar cotton, and wood punk. In addition, cotton charcloth, familiar to flint and steel firemakers works very well in the fire piston and can be made at home.
In terms of fire making efficiency a well maintained fire piston in either material should be expected to light on the first or second attempt.
A Note From Our Supplier, Jeff Wagner:
A traditional fire piston consists of a wood, horn or brass cylinder approximately 4 � 5 inches long and a precisely fitted piston. To achieve the necessary compression, the piston must create an airtight seal, yet be able to move freely within the cylinder. To accomplish this, the piston is wrapped a short distance with string or leather to create a gasket. Grease is applied to the gasket for lubrication and to aid in creating the seal.
In construction, great care must be exercised to assure the bore is concentric and free of imperfections. Minor dimensional variations in either the bore or piston can result in loss of compression preventing the piston from generating the necessary heat. While difficult and tedious to fabricate, fire pistons represent a durable and effective fire-starting device able to create innumerable lights. When a piston eventually becomes worn from repeated use, original performance can be restored in minutes by simply re-wrapping the gasket.
Fire pistons can be used to ignite a variety of natural tinders, plus the same cotton charcloth so familiar to flint and steel users. Some of the more useful and common of the natural tinders for the fire piston include, milkweed pod ovum ( the puffy structure remaining inside the pod after the fluff has been dispersed ) milkweed down, poplar cotton, the pith of the mullein stalk and cattail fluff. In a hardwood forest environment, decayed wood punk, collected from dead standing trees, represents a very useful and abundant wild tinder. Wood punk lights very easily in the fire piston, catches a spark from flint and steel without charring and can be blown into flame in place of a fiber nest. However, the best of the natural tinders is actually a fungus. True Tinder Fungus or Inonotus obliquus is parasitic growth common to birch trees and may develop at the site of an injury to the tree such as a broken limb. This fungus has a blackened, charred looking exterior with an interior the color of buckskin and consistency of cork. The interior of this fungus makes remarkable tinder that is difficult to extinguish once ignited. In addition to use in fire pistons, tinder fungus will also catch a spark from flint and steel without special treatment and it makes an excellent hearth board for hand drill and bow drill fire making.
To create a fire using a fire piston, a small amount of tinder is placed in a cavity carved into the end of the piston. The piston is inserted a short distance into the cylinder. The cylinder is gasped firmly and the piston given a quick push or sharp blow with the palm. The piston is immediately withdrawn to reveal a smoldering ember in its tip. The ember is placed into a bundle of shredded bark or punk wood and blown into flame. With a small amount of practice, the entire sequence can be performed in well under 30 seconds.
A glowing ember is more lasting than an isolated flame and unlike a flame it is made stronger by moving air. When an ember is placed in tinder such as the shredded inner bark of certain trees, fungus, punk wood, etc. it expands rapidly, increases in temperature and bursts into open flame with a few breaths. With a little breeze blowing these materials can become virtually self-igniting and generate sufficient heat to sustain combustion. This coal initiated fire making process is precisely how fire was made for thousands of years prior to the development of matches and instant flame technology.
The fire piston represents a unique, effective and period correct fire making tool worthy of inclusion in any possibles bag. With just a little practice, your next rendezvous campfire can ignited in only a few seconds and everyone who sees the fire piston in use will be completely amazed�

Trail Dog
Thanks! My 2013 ultra schedule is still under construction, but I do have a race this weekend:
1/13 - RoxieRuns - Frozen Gnome 50k, IL
Novice Ultra Runner
Looks like you overlooked SueInTN and me for the North Coast 24 on 9/21. Sue is running the full 24 while I'm opting for the 12-hour.
2013 Goals: Mile - 7:45 (SB 7:53.74); NC24 12-Hr (completed 49.6 miles)
Occasional Runner
Betsy- Can you start the 100M calendar in our "other" forum? This one is going to get jumbled up with a bunch of races that a lot of people never heard of. There are just too many ultras these days. The 100 mile calendar we used to have was a great tool.
12/7- Cajun Coyote 100
12/30- Across The Years 48 Hr.
Nope -- just wasn't finished! (I had to run off for about an hour to get the oil changed in my car). Getting back on it now!
Is that all I am to you, a calendar keeper? (I'll get on it after I finish this one).
People probably don't mind hearing about races they've never heard of... tis cool. (by which I mean, adding random stuff to this calendar. Another calendar, cool too.)
Okay, NOW it should be complete. I'll move past races to the bottom of the list each month, and if you'd like to add your finish times, just post 'em here.
Totally agree and I like this one too. I just don't let go of tradition very well. It messes with my OCD.
Don't be ridiculous. You're more like a personal assistant.
Cream & sugar with your coffee? Ice-chilled mug for your brewski?
Whoa, I am listed as running Pony Express on 10/18. Definitely not ready for a hundo. Glad I caught that typo!
Sorry -- it's now etched in stone and cannot be changed (Not sure where I got that, but I'll take you off the list!!!)
Home Away From Home
Would you kindly add me in for Pineland Farms Trail 50m on May 26 and the Ghost Train which is already listed on Oct 26 as well. I am a possible for the Vermont 50 on Sept. 19. Thanks
"Anyone can do it in ideal conditions"- A quote from a true NE CN runner and friend.
Got you down for the first two; just let me know what you decide on the Vermont 50. (And I think the race will be Sept. 29, not the 19th).

He is the picture
Are we abiding in Christ and looking for His return? This in on my mind so much lately. We need to keep it in our spirit and certainly share with others.
There was a time, not very long ago we never dreamed Christian people would be under attack in America.
Who ever dreamed a federal judge would try to make a rule that a National Day of Prayer would be unconstitutional?
Geneva, Switzerland:
A Friday night meet and greet at the Davis Chapel Community Center saw possibly more candidates attending the event than constituents. With over 100 people vying for an office that was really an easy task to accomplish once you think about it.
Most of the politicians seemed genuinely invested in this community. They also appeared to want it to become more solvent, educated area. Among the issues put on the table were narcotics. Many of the candidates chose to address this as a societal issue as well as a personal one.
Have you noticed in the LaFollette Press how they list the area churches? I was so impressed, there are 127 listed. Think of all the people's lives that could be touched for Christ. We who are so thankful, who have accepted Christ should constantly be praying for others. When we find the opportunity to plant a seed, the Holy Spirit continues to touch their heart.
I have learned in the past year of motherhood that you cannot plan for everything, but you can take joy in the way things turn out.
And things turned out to bring me back to LaFollette with my growing family. I had planned a different route, but I am so happy to be back in my home and writing for the LaFollette Press again.
This could have been a difficult transition if not for the warm welcome from the community. Many friends and avid Press readers have greeted me with open arms. It makes me feel like this path was the right one at the right time.
Picture this: you wake up one morning and everything seems perfect. Your paycheck is more than you thought it would be, your car runs right for a change, and you enter your favorite store to buy that thing you always wanted that you never quit talking about.
You walk through the front door and then, without warning, it happens. You see "them." You know who "them" is. "Them" is that he or she that did something so catastrophic, and made life horrible for you. What's worse is they see you in return. So, what do you do?
Some people just can't catch a break- especially if your name is Jenny Siler and you live in Campbell County. At least that was the tale woven by attorney for hire Herb Moncier on Monday.
As he and Siler made yet another appearance in criminal court Moncier used a fair mix of drama and legalese in attempt to keep his client on the outside of the jail.
Oscar Wilde once said the two biggest tragedies in are not getting what you want and getting what you want.
It appears that is the case with the Campbell County Board of Education and Dr. Michael Martin, director of schools.
Last week's evaluation of his performance was brutal.
I am not sure why a man who improved the county's two high schools to the point they are no longer at risk of a state take over was asked immediately if he wanted to resign. Where I come from, that is just rude.
Have you looked in the mirror lately?
Try it sometime soon.
Are you happy with what you see? Or do you note a flaw or two you might need to work on?
Such is the case with your friends here at The Press.
We look in the mirror every day – make that day and night; weekends and holidays included.
Whether we like it or not: it is our job to mirror the community in which we live, work and play.
Two weeks ago, I was going through a very stressful time in my life, and I decided to actually get up early to go walking. Grant it, I'm by no means a morning person.
I'm what I like to call a "secret morning person".
A secret morning person is someone who isn't an early riser and doesn't whistle merrily as they jump out of bed before getting their day started at 7 a.m. It's someone who may be extremely sleepy-headed, yet isn't sleepy enough appreciate the beauty of the morning atmosphere.
Liza Minnelli once sang that "life is a cabaret old chum, life is a cabaret." It's true that "all the world's a stage." Ancient Greek philosophers agreed that politics is a theatrical performance, played out before the large audience of mankind. Modern man is Virtual Man: much of what we think is the product of what we see.
They say once you leave home that you can never come back again.
I'm a journalist so my first question is who in the heck is 'they' and what do 'they' know about it anyway? That being said, I am leaving home. But someday, I plan on coming back. My family and my friends are here. And after working as a reporter for the LaFollette Press for two-plus years, I've realized I will be leaving more family and friends behind than I ever knew I had.
As you go out into this great big world and begin your journey, remember that there is a few things to remember.
As you go, remember that you are no better than anyone else and no one else is any better than you are. We're all equal and God put us on earth for the same reasons and purposes. We all have to learn from one another to make it work. Can you imagine how boring life would be if everyone was exactly the same?
No matter where you are on the planet today, chances are that your country is in the midst of a financial crisis brought on by the unethical behavior of investment banks and other financial institutions. The banking crisis was the cue ball that brought us the credit crunch which, in turn, beckoned the housing crisis and bailout of the automotive industry. In Europe, entire nations—Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Ireland—are facing bankruptcy, due largely to the shenanigans of banks.
Webster's dictionary defines a mother as being, "A woman who has given birth to a child."
It's a fact that any woman can me a mother, but it takes a lot to be called a mom. What's the difference between mother and mom?
A mother is someone whose children observe her from a distance, but a mom is someone whose children look up to her. A mother provides because they feel it's just her duty, but a mom provides to the point she'd give her own life for the sake of her child. Well, you get the idea.

The Hamamatsu Photonics C9100-02 camera bring together all the advantages of the latest Electron Multiplication CCDs with Hamamatsu engineering. High gain, good signal to noise, resolution and speed are combined with a proprietary hermetic vacuum chamber evacuated to 1.33 x 10-6 Pa (10-8 torr) . High vacuum, deep cooling and specially designed electronics combine to reduce camera noise before the gain multiplication process begins.
Using on-chip electron gain multiplication and deep cooling, the signal level can be greatly increased relative to the camera noise providing a relative read noise of less than one electron at high gain levels. gain factors up to 2000 times are possible while still operating at 30 frames/s at full spatial resolution and 14 bit digitization. Frame rates of 250 frames/s or greater are possible by using the binning and sub-array features of the C9100.
Furthermore, the Hamamatsu EM-CCD camera controls the stable cooling temperature at -50 deg.C even when the ambient temperature is fluctuated from 0 deg.C to +40 deg.C. The constant cooling temperature can work out the uniformed electron multiplication factor and low noise characteristic.

About the Beer Institute
The Beer Institute represents the $246.5 billion beer
industry. An industry that includes more than 2,800 breweries and 2 million jobs.

industry than beer. Despite that competitiveness, or perhaps because of it, we
have united to represent our common interests. We are the voice of the beer industry.
The Beer Institute represents the interests of the
entire beer industry. So not surprisingly, our members include everyone from
America's largest brewers to some of the country's smallest.
Annual Reports
See our yearly reviews of how we proactively address industry
issues, including supporting jobs in our communities, responsibly advertising
and marketing beer, and paying more than our fair share in taxes.
The Beer Institute and the members we represent take
our responsibility to the communities we serve seriously.
Advertising & Marketing Code
The Beer Institute and our members believe that beer
should be marketed in a responsible and respectful manner.
Programs for Servers of Alcohol
