Yeah, but that's mostly a bunch of lies Europeans and self-loathing Americans tell each other. Our health care system only looks bad in terms of cost, the infant mortality numbers are outright fabrications and longevity is heavily cultural (we're fat).

Rubbish. Complete rubbish. Good luck with the army of $200k/yr math/CS geniuses you'd need to go over every line of code. And you can get the source to Windows and do the same.
Unless you are a large corporation or a government you do not have the resources to do much but install it from some repository "somewhere" and hope nobody hacks you. And even 99% of governments or large corporations don't sit there and go over even a moderate percent of the code to confirm it's secure. Sure you can harden it considerably but ultimately there could be 50 obscure holes, intentional or not.

Man, this medical district zoning thing has really gotten some dander up. I've received phone calls, mail, emails, telegrams – it's big. I didn't even know you could still send a telegram. It's probably the biggest thing to happen in Fall River since the last time someone heard from a friend of a friend of Emeril's cousin that he's not going to open a restaurant here. Here's just a sampling of what I have been hearing.
Sally Ortega-Grumwald of Sandusky, Ohio writes: My sister in Fall River told me of the mayor's plan to rezone the neighborhoods around Fall River's hospitals. I must say I am shocked and appalled.
Mayor Flanagan's program to bulldoze these neighborhoods to the ground to build sun-blocking hospital skyscrapers may result in thousands of jobs for unskilled Fall River workers, but at what price? Fall River simply cannot afford to lose one more historic tenement house.
I understand that former factory workers desire and deserve jobs as brain surgeons, ER nurses and phlebotomists, but throwing defenseless women and children out onto the streets in order to lower Fall River's unemployment rate from 15% to 14.99% is just not the way to go. Think of the dogs and cats that will be executed as these families become homeless.
It's just wrong.
Jeff Geoffrey of Palo Alto, California emails: Hey Dude! I was just gonna move my major software company to Fall River when I heard that the building I was going to buy is now part of your city-wide hospital zone! Bummer, Dudage. You guys missed out. I was planning to have an organic wine and cheese reception at the grand opening and everything.
The Reverend Spike Spicoli of Devil's Dog, Pennsylvania opines: And a great darkness will fall upon the land, and there will be sturm. And drang. And the people will know of The End. And there will be great fear (not to mention loathing). And the skies and the waters and all the land will be taken over to the heathen doctors, who will destroy the people. And there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth. And there will be no dental clinic, which is bad, because gnashing is a great evil upon teeth.
Dave from Downtown tweets: Fire Ken Fiola!
Eva from The South End left this phone message: I'll tell you what's gonna happen – the mayor is in bed with the fat cats. That's what's gonna happen. And who wants another Gary Remy's? Do you know what they get for a hamburg down there? I got a pothole down the street from my house. Who's gonna fix that? Gary Remy?
And many others, too numerous to list here. My response? Well, first I thanked them all (except Eva, who I decided not to call back) for writing this post for me. Then I did the best I could to offer some solace in these difficult times.
What the Mayor did here, in my uninformed view, is to take one of the greatest risks of his political career. He tried to sell Fall River on (oh my!) a symbolic gesture. Fool that he be.
You see, Mayor Flanagan's original proposal didn't mean very much in a… ummm… real world sense. It was symbolic. I think he was trying to send a message that Fall River is pro-business. Where I think he went wrong is that he might have been thinking that his message was going to be heard by businesses from far and wide. Instead, it was heard by local (and, according to my mail bag, not so local) people who succumbed to a fear-and-smear operation.
But what do I know? From what I have heard on the streets, people who didn't understand the proposal heard from people who did understand it but who have a bit of a political ax to grind. Shocking, I know.
It was symbolic. But it turned out to be symbolic of just how dysfunctional Fall River politics can be. So the Mayor punted. Personally, I'm hoping he uses the resultant field position well. But that's because I'm a "symbolism" kind of guy.
For the record, I'm crossing my fingers that not too many defenseless dogs and cats will be executed in the meantime.

Charging of Deans' Effort/Salary |
cc: |
School Associate Deans for Administration |
While it is expected that School Deans will expend most of their effort on administrative matters, they may act as PIs and otherwise continue their research and teaching activities. Where effort is committed to sponsored projects, a corresponding allocation of salary is also appropriate.
Deans' office administrative activities must be consistently treated as indirect costs. Accordingly, no Deans' office administrative expenses shall be charged directly to sponsored agreements. School Deans who continue their research activities may appropriately charge a percentage of their salary directly to those projects, assuming that a corresponding percentage of effort is devoted to technical project activity.
Allocation of effort and salary should be guided by the following principles:
For full-time assignment, 100% FTE is considered to be remuneration for all work which benefits Stanford. 100% FTE does not equate to any set number of hours, e.g., 40 or 50 hours per week; it equates to the totality of University-compensated effort. For School Deans, this includes all effort expended in support of University and School administration, as well as any effort expended in teaching or research activity.
If more than an incidental level of effort is committed to a sponsored project and subsequently awarded by the sponsor, that amount of salary should either be charged directly to the project on which the Dean works, or charged to a corresponding cost sharing account.
If incidental effort is expended on sponsored projects which was NOT committed in the project proposal, that effort does not need to be accounted for either as a direct project cost or as cost sharing.
In general, these principles are no different for School Deans than for other Stanford faculty. It is recognized, however, that most of a School Dean's effort will be expended for administrative objectives, and therefore should NOT be charged directly to sponsored projects. Each School Dean should review any concerns about his or her commitment of effort and salary distribution with the Provost.

Nashua man charged in 'cannibal cop' conspiracy to torture, rape, kill women and kids
Richard Meltz, 65, of Nashua and Stanhope, N.J., who is the chief of police for the Bedford, Mass., Veteran Affairs Medical Center, was one of two men charged Monday with conspiracy to "kidnap, torture, rape and kill women and children," according to the FBI. Robert Christopher Asch, 62, of New York City, also was arrested Monday.
In media reports, defense lawyers have said the men, along with alleged co-conspirator Michael Vanhise, were engaging in fantasies that they never carried out.
FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge George Venizelos, though, said the men had purchased stun guns and chemicals to subdue potential victims.
"As alleged, both of these defendants took affirmative steps to carry out the conspiracy to kidnap and torture women," Venizelos said in a statement. "Their actions were not confined to talking about these ghoulish plans."
Vanhise, who was arrested in January, allegedly communicated online with former New York City police officer Gilberto Valle, 28, who was convicted March 12 of one count of kidnapping conspiracy. Valle is scheduled to be sentenced June 19.

Bob Kestnbaum, And Ralph Lane Polk IiSAN FRANCISCO, October 22, 2002 The Direct Marketing Association (The DMA) Board of Directors today inducted four industry leaders Jock Bickert, Jonah Gitlitz, Robert D. "Bob" Kestnbaum, and Ralph Lane Polk II (posthumously) into The DMA Hall of Fame, the highest professional honor in direct and interactive marketing. The four were formally inducted during a special luncheon at The DMAs 85th Annual Conference & Exhibition on October 22, 2002, in San Francisco, CA. Established in 1978, The DMA Hall of Fame honors direct and interactive marketing professionals outstanding career contributions to the practice, growth, and stature of the direct and interactive marketing discipline, and now includes 81 honorees. "These men are true leaders in the direct marketing industry," said H. Robert Wientzen, president & CEO, The DMA. "Their contributions to the theory and practice of direct and interactive marketing has had a profound impact on the industry worldwide."Jock Bickert Jock Bickert has been responsible for advancing marketers ability to target customers more accurately. Throughout his career, he has been credited with introducing marketers to the concept of advanced analytics to drive database performance, the use of data to create customer profiles and market analysis, and the use of self-reported demographic and lifestyle data for use in generating targeted lists. Bickert founded the database marketing company Looking Glass, Inc. in 1995. Under his leadership, the company created the first household-level clustering system, Cohorts, that helps marketers cost-effectively target new customers by identifying 27 unique and cohesive groups of consumers. In 1975, Bickert founded and served as president of the database marketing company National Demographics & Lifestyles (NDL). With an initial investment of just $500, the company now maintains a 41-million name national consumer database, The Lifestyle Selector, from which it produces highly targeted mailing lists and market analyses based on demographic and lifestyle characteristics. While at NDL, Bickert extended the companys demographic and lifestyle operations to the UK and Europe. NDL has been recognized as a pioneer in database marketing and has been the subject of two case studies in entrepreneurship by the Harvard Business School. The company was later acquired by R.L. Polk & Co. and is currently a part of Equifax, Inc. The focus of Bickerts earlier career was survey research in consumer behavior and public opinion. In 1970, Bickert, along with two other partners, formed the research and consulting firm BBC. Bickert has also held positions at survey research firm Frank N. Magid Associates and the University of Denvers Research Institute. Bickert served on both The DMA Board of Directors and the Associations executive committee from 1986 to 1992 and is currently a trustee of the Direct Marketing Education Foundation (DMEF). He was responsible for conducting key research that helped shape The DMAs Mail Preference Service (MPS). Bickert has been a regular guest lecturer in entrepreneurship at Harvard Business School, Stanford Business School, and the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, among others. In 1988, Bickert was named The DMAs "List Leader of the Year" and in 1993 received the "Ed Sisk Award" from the Direct Marketing Association of Washington, DC for his innovations in direct marketing. Bickert was also named "Direct Marketer of the Year" by the Rocky Mountain Direct Marketing Association. Jonah Gitlitz Jonah Gitlitz served as president & CEO of the Direct Marketing Association (The DMA) from 1985 to 1996. During his 12 years of service, DMA membership increased from 1,800 to over 3,000. To avert congressional, legislative, and regulatory initiatives, Gitlitz expanded government activities at the federal and state levels, broadened ethics and consumer affairs programs and instituted The DMAs Telephone Preference Service (TPS). During his tenure, The DMAs efforts played a key role in the 1992 Quill vs. North Dakota use tax victory. Under his guidance, The DMA launched a twice-yearly Consumer/Industry Dialogue between DMA members and state and local consumer protection officials across the country. These dialogues were co-sponsored at various times with the U.S. Office of Consumer Affairs, The Council of Better Business Bureaus, and the National Association of Consumer Agency Administrators. Several new products and services were introduced under his leadership, including "Economic Impact: U.S. Direct Marketing Today," the first study to measure the impact of direct marketing on the U.S. economy, and DMAs Shop-at-Home program. Gitlitz also expanded DMA Councils -- including Directo-The DMA Council for Hispanic Marketing, Marketing Technology, Agency Leaders, Catalog Leaders, and List Leaders. Gitlitz joined The DMA in 1981 as senior vice president of public affairs. Prior to that, he served as executive vice president of the American Advertising Federation (AAF). Robert D. "Bob" Kestnbaum Database marketing pioneer, Robert Kestnbaum is recognized as a leader in formulating, applying, and popularizing new concepts and approaches as sophisticated database/interactive marketing technologies evolved. Kestnbaum founded the direct, database, and Internet marketing management consulting firm Kestnbaum & Company in 1967 and was president until his retirement in June 2001. During his more than three decades with Kestnbaum & Company, the firm has helped numerous consumer and business-to-business marketers such as IBM Direct, Citicorp, British Airways, Hewlett-Packard, and National Westminister Bank introduce and improve their database marketing activities. Prior to Kestnbaum & Company, he served as direct marketing manager of Montgomery Ward & Company and co-founded the Robert Maxwell Company, the original direct marketing division of Bell & Howell Company. Throughout his career, Kestnbaum has been credited with the advancement of such database and interactive marketing concepts as standardization of direct marketing arithmetic, calculation and application of customer long-term value, applying database marketing methods and analyses to improve and measure general marketing and media usage, applying sophisticated financial modeling and statistical techniques to marketing challenges, and defining longitudinal or horizontal contact strategy. Kestnbaum served as a mentor to many in the database and interactive marketing field. He speaks frequently at direct marketing conferences and has authored numerous articles concerning all aspects of database marketing. He served as a member of The DMA Board and Executive Committee from 1994 to 2000. In 1988, he received the Charles Downs Award from the Chicago Association of Direct Marketing and was presented the Direct Marketing Educational Foundations (DMEF) Edward Mayer, Jr. Award in 1997 for his contributions to the education of direct marketers.Ralph Lane Polk II (1882-1949) Working in the direct marketing industry since his tenth birthday, Ralph Lane Polk IIs contributions fueled the rapid growth of automotive direct marketing and the list industry in the 20th century. His revolutionary efforts to pursue, compile, and transform automotive owner registrations into a powerful direct marketing tool was instrumental in developing strong customer relationships for automobile manufacturers, automotive dealers, aftermarket companies, and other automotive businesses. Beginning in the states of Washington and Michigan, Polk directed the compilation of vehicle registration data to determine such things as units sold, market share, and dealership location in order to target personal offers to vehicle owners. In 1921, he began collecting information from all states. Along the way, he purchased motor vehicle list companies to add to the wealth of vehicle information already established. In 1924, he combined R.L. Polks direct marketing efforts for the automotive businesses to form a direct mail division, focused on consumer and business-to-business list and direct mail production. By the end of the 1930s, the company was accomplished in compiling large volumes of data and using the information to identify the best households for direct mail campaigns. Immediately after World War II, the division added direct mail creative work and total package promotions to its list of services. At the time of his death in 1949, the direct mail division delivered up to two million pieces of mail each day, making it one of the largest direct marketing companies in the world. About The DMA Hall of Fame Each year, The DMA Board of Directors may elect as many as four leaders to The DMA Hall of Fame. The DMA Hall of Fame Committee of Judges makes its selections based on nominations received through the annual Call for Nominations to DMA member companies and the industry at large.

A walk-in health centre in the heart of Norwich will have its opening hours extended this bank holiday weekend as part of a trial.
Staff at the Timber Hill Health Centre, which is based in Castle Mall, will be available to see patients up until 2am on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
The NHS-run facility, which is usually open seven days a week between 7am and 9pm, will extend its opening hours for the first time to cope with a predicted increase in demand for health services over the long weekend.
The health centre, which opened three years ago, is staffed by experienced nurse practitioners, supported by a GP, who can treat minor illnesses and injuries.
The walk-in centre will be open between 7am and 2am over the bank holiday, but its hours could be extended again if the trial proves successful.
Dr Cath Robinson, member of the Norwich Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "For most of us, minor injuries and illnesses can be treated using our own medicines cabinet at home or by taking advice from our local community pharmacist. The walk-in centre is an option if you cannot treat your problem yourself."
"And we are very pleased that Timber Hill Health Centre has agreed to extend its opening hours to 2am on Saturday, Sunday and Monday for the bank holiday."
The contract for the walk-in centre is set to expire in 2014. However, officials from Norwich CCG reassured patients earlier this year that its future was not at risk. Decisions over whether to expand the centre may hinge upon a possible redesign of the Accident and Emergency department at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
More than 74,000 patients were seen at the facility, operated by Norwich Practices Ltd last year, which is also a registered GP practice.

The Hermit
This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (February 2009) |
The Hermit (IX) is the ninth trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional Tarot decks. It is used in game playing as well as in divination.
A. E. Waite was a key figure in the development of modern Tarot interpretations. However, not all interpretations follow his theology.
Some frequent keywords are:
- Introspection ----- Silence ----- Guidance ----- Reflection
- Solitude ----- Looking inward ----- Reclusion ----- Being quiet
- Inner search ----- Deep understanding ----- Isolation
- Distance ----- Retreat ----- Philosophical attitude
The Waite version of the card shows an old man carrying a staff in one hand and a lit lantern in the other. In the background is a wasteland. Just beyond the wasteland is a mountain range.
This section does not cite any references or sources. (June 2006) |
The Hermit has internalized the lessons of life to the point that he is the lesson. The Hermit, as a kind of shamanistic hero, has made the complete journey – both the withdrawal and the return. As Joseph Campbell said, "A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man." (The Hero with a Thousand Faces)
There are two possible ways this card can be interpreted:
- First, the need to withdraw from society to become comfortable with himself.
- Second, the return from isolation to share his knowledge with others.
Mythopoetic approach[edit]
An old hermit walked around the village and the area day and night, and even in daylight still carried a lit lantern. One day the villagers had enough curiosity to ask him "Sir, why do you carry your lantern lit in daylight?" He said, "Because I'm searching for an honest man."[citation needed]
This is a story most often attributed to Diogenes of Sinope, one major contributor to the Cynic school of philosophy.
There are several different cycles embedded in the Major Arcana. One of them is 1-9, 10-19. The Magician to the Hermit; the Wheel of Fortune through The Sun. The Fool gains knowledge of the external world, meets the mysteries, finds the initial object of desire, finds mastery, finds knowledge, finds a new object of desire, leaves home, gains some strength, and withdraws for a time to integrate the lessons learned before starting on the next turn of the spiral, where the Wheel of Fortune spins us into a new adventure.
Alternatively, The Hermit may be the old man or woman, metaphorically, that we meet who gives us the insights or tools or training we need to confront the beasts of the forest, the sealed cave, the gated castle, the wormhole.
The Hermit is related through a cross sum (the sum of the digits) to The Moon. While The Hermit mostly integrates the lessons of the sunlit world, the Moon stands at the threshold of light and dark and churns the waters of life. In both cases, treasures can be uncovered through contemplation of what is brought forth. In both cases, monsters may be found.
Some say that The Hermit is a Threshold Guardian, representing an obstacle the Querent, the hero of the piece, must overcome to move on.
A potentially dangerous aspect of The Hermit is his retreat, his isolation. We all need to retreat sometimes; retreat and renewal are necessary for growth. But The Hermit may be tempted to completely withdraw from the world, not because the journey is done, but because the dragons of the real are too daunting, or because the trivial pleasures of the cave are too intoxicating. Withdraw at the wrong time, stay withdrawn too long, and growth stops.
The cowl The Hermit wears protects him and isolates him. Hopefully, at some point, he casts it off and rejoins the world[citation needed] .
Some[who?] say that The Hermit represents the time we learn our true names, who we really are. The Greek philosopher Thales is reported to have been asked, "What is the most difficult of all things?" To which he is said to have answered "To know yourself."[citation needed] The Hermit is given time to obey the Delphic Oracle's demand: know thyself.[citation needed]
Alternative decks[edit]
In some decks it is also called Le Moine ("The Monk") or Time.
In the Vikings Tarot, the Hermit is Heimdall living at the edge of Asgard, standing ready with Gjallarhorn watching for the signs of the coming of Ragnarok.
In the X/1999 Tarot version made by CLAMP, The Hermit is Satsuki Yatouji.
In the Mythic Tarot deck, the Hermit is depicted by Cronus.
In the Sacred Circle Tarot, the Hermit is the Shaman.
In popular culture[edit]
- A stylised version of the Hermit can be seen in the illustration on the inside sleeve of the album Led Zeppelin IV (aka "Four Symbols") by English hard-rock band Led Zeppelin. The illustration is credited to a "Barrington Colby", of whom little is known. It has been speculated that the artist was Jimmy Page himself.
- In the 1976 film The Song Remains the Same, Jimmy Page portrays the Hermit in a fantasy sequence during the song "Dazed and Confused". In the sequence, Page climbs a rock face towards the figure of the Hermit, whose face is that of an aged version of himself. The sequence was supposed to have been filmed behind Boleskine House, a property two miles east of the Village of Foyers near Loch Ness in Scotland. The house, which was owned by Page at the time, had been owned by the author and occultist Aleister Crowley.

Tennessee Vols Defense Gives Big Plays to Both Sides
KNOXVILLE — Tennessee's defense has a knack for creating big plays, both for itself and the opposition.
One week after allowing four gains of longer than 30 yards in the final 18½ minutes of a 37-20 loss to Florida, Tennessee gave up a 70-yard touchdown run to Quentin Hines that briefly caused the Volunteers to fall behind Akron. Yet the Vols also picked off three Akron passes to pull away for a 47-26 victory...

Coach House Books and E.R.A. Architects are proud to announce that Concrete Toronto brought home an Award of Merit in the Visual Communications Content & Editorial category at the Design Exchange Awards. Design Exchange is Canada's museum of design.
Coach House Books is pleased to announce that Concrete Toronto: A Guidebook to Concrete Architecture from the Fifties to the Seventies received the Award of Excellence in the Book Category at the 2008 Heritage Toronto Awards ceremony, held last night at the historic Carlu.
The Heritage Toronto Board has named Concrete Toronto: A Guidebook to Concrete Architecture from the Fifties to the Seventies a finalist in the book category for the 34th Annual Heritage Toronto Awards.

In this well researched and complete guide to concrete architecture of the 1950s to the 1970s, readers will gain insight into a defining period in Toronto's architectural history. Interviews and essay contributions by architects, historians, academics, city planners, and journalists are complemented by a plentiful assortment of maps, drawings and rare photographs.
Concrete Toronto is a superb book that examines some of Toronto's most recognizable architectural landmarks and describes the dynamic era (the 1960s and '70s) in which they were created. It was a booming time in Toronto, a period in which it surpassed Montreal as the nation's largest city and the centre for commerce and (arguably) culture.
Michael McClelland and Graeme Stewart asked architects, historians, engineers, journalists and architecture students to submit short essays and images on the topic of Toronto's concrete buildings from around the 1960s period. The result is an eclectic series of essays from a variety of perspectives on projects spanning the '50s through the '70s.
Appropriately, a number of the responses discuss new City Hall, including a good article by Marsha Kelmans on its specially designed concrete furniture (the mayor's desk, now gone, weighed 350 kilograms).

Great pot
I bought the same pot under a different name in a set (Kitchen Essentials) and ran it through the dishwasher, which pretty much ruined it. I absolutely LOVED it though and was pleased to find they still make it. The plastic handles rock, the see through lid is great, and it's a seriously heavy duty pot that nothing sticks to.
I recommend this product. -
I first bought Calphalon pans because they were the only ones I could find made in USA! I am so glad that I got aquainted with the Calphalon, because I truly LOVE them. I bought a complete set in the beginning, and then I needed a couple more pans. I hope they never quit making them in the USA!

The Nike Women's (Full and Half) Marathon (NWM) is an event full of stories. It's a major event for Team in Training and many people run or walk the event for a loved one. Lots of ladies ran/walked together, and there was tons of support and good energy. I knew that I would come out of the race with a story of my own. I expected that it would be a story of triumph – that I conquered myself and actually trained for something and actually got faster and kicked butt. This was not to be my story.
The epic saga began at the Skyline Ridge 14k trail race 2 weeks before the NWM. I had been wanting to add some hills to my training before my taper, so I thought this would be awesome. The trail was beautiful and the race was great, but a familiar demon began bugging me about 4 miles in. Oh, hello, left IT band. Hadn't heard from you for a while. Kinda thought you were going to let me run a half marathon in peace… [The IT band runs between your hip and your tibia (via outside of the knee). Various issues with running like muscle imbalance or too many hills can cause it to rub, often along the outside of the knee, and cause pain with every step, as the tight IT band rubs past your knee. Ouch.]
I've dealt with this injury before, however, so I diligently iced, Ibuprofen-ed, rested, stretched, and did some one-legged squats for good measure. I planned on getting in some running during the week leading up to the race, but of course…
I got sick on Sunday (a week before the race now). Again, I was diligent. I rested, hydrated, took lots of Vitamin C, and ate right. I tried my best to be patient and not freak out about the fact that I wasn't going to be able to run much (it ended up being not at all) before the race. My IT band got another full week off, so I figured it would be fine, but of course…
Although my legs felt great warming up at the NWM Half, I hadn't even run half a mile when I could feel suspicious tightness on the outside of my left leg (despite long intervals of stretching before the race). I hardly had time to wonder if it would be an issue before the tightness developed into full-blown, hard-core IT band pain. My initial 8:00 min/mile pace slowed to 9:00 min/mile and I wondered if I should just walk the whole race, or stop altogether. However, walking a half marathon takes a loooooooooooong time. And not finishing meant no t-shirt and no Tiffany's finisher necklace. I knew that 13 miles is also a long way to run with a hurting IT band, but I was also fairly sure that I would not do any permanent damage.
It was hard to have to resort to walking through the aid stations and up parts of many of the hills (and about a whole mile of the last 5k, when my knee locked up super hard – that'll teach me to run without emergency Ibuprofen). It was hard to watch so many women run past me, strong and pain free (good for them, hard for me). It was hard to get passed by the 4:00 marathon pace group in the last 5k (when I was speed-walking because I literally couldn't run), since I had held out a little hope of finishing in under 2 hours until then. It was especially hard to summon the mental energy to girt my teeth and lopsidedly jog the last 1.1 miles (but I did).
But I finished. It may have taken me 2:14 instead of the 1:51 I'd hoped and trained for. It may have been way harder than I'd thought it would be, fighting through the pain for every mile. But I'm super proud and very happy in retrospect that I did it anyways. I want to do a half Ironman in the summer of 2012 and I expect that half marathon will also be hard, especially after swimming 1.2 miles and cycling 56 miles. Now I know that I can push through 13 miles, even if I am hurting from the very beginning. I also know that I need to get a lot more serious about doing all that I can to deal with my IT band issues (strengthening opposing muscles, finding some new, deeper stretches, deep tissue massage, etc.) because I would really like to be pain-free for the next half marathon I'm running in December.
So I'm going to take this as a learning experience. I showed myself how hard I can push and how much I can endure. I've learned that I need to be more proactive about dealing with my knee. And I'm confident that I have what it takes to do a half Ironman in ~20 months. So thank you, NWM, for pushing me further than I thought I could go. And thank you, volunteer doctors and nurses in the First Aid tent at the finish line, for the ice, gatorade, industrial-strength Tylenol, and warm air blower (it was raining outside by this point).
That is my NWM story. Did you run on Sunday?
Also, any IT band advice is very welcome.

I'm proud of you for finishing, and your story makes me excited about my half in a few weeks. I'm trying just to think about finishing and not pace, because I signed up late and I'm sorely out of running shape, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed that I've not been training harder and better.
After reading your account, I feel a little more empowered. Less competitive…like it's okay to just do my best with what I have right now and be satisfied with what my body can do in this moment. I look up to you so much as an athlete, Lizzy. I hope your IT band heals quickly.-km
Which half are you doing? I think one of the best parts (given my knee situation) with doing an event as big as the NWM (something like 20,000 runners) is that I knew that I wasn't going to come close to "winning" or "placing", so from the beginning it was all about my own personal challenge. And although I had intended that challenge to be a time/pace one, it ended up being a challenge to just keep going and keep pushing, which was ok. It's really cool to be part of something big enough that you aren't really racing the people around you, but just all taking part in the same personal challenge.
I'm sure you'll do awesome! Positive energy can take you a long way (13.1 miles, even)Lizzy
Trail of Two Cities here in Fresno. It's on my birthday this year! Can't pass that up!! I'm excited…though my biggest fear at this moment is buying into others' opinions about what I can and can't do. Thusly, I feel gloriously defiant in attempting anyways.
Awesome! For what it's worth, I totally believe in you. It's all about taking it one mile at a time, enjoying the scenery and the runners around you, being part of such a big event… it'll go by way faster than you'd expect.
Lizzy, major kudos to you for fighting through that! I've had serious IT band issues in the past, and ended up just not running anymore. I never raced, so it wasn't a big deal, but every time I try to get back into it just for exercise, the problems come back! I'd love it if you could pass on any advice you find helpful to me, too
The best advice I've gotten is to do hip strengthening exercises, though I'm not sure what those would be. Those muscles get ignored when we're doing running/walking as exercise.
Hope you find some solutions quickly!
I think that IT band issues are often based in muscle imbalance, so theoretically anything that strengthens muscles that oppose the running muscles should theoretically help. I'm planning on hitting the weights (gently at first) as soon as I'm pain free. I've also read that the pigeon pose stretches your IT band. I've been doing a different stretch, and I wonder if maybe it's just not deep enough. I know that I have to try a little harder to actually stretch my quads using a "standard" quad stretch (ditto for my calves), so maybe the same is true for my IT band. I'll definitely let you know if I find something that works.
I just had ART done for my hip flexor and it cleared up an injury I fought with for ~3 months in 5 visits. Basically it involves a therapist putting pressure on a trigger point on your muscle while you move your body. They'll check for adhesions and tightness and work to release the muscles and fascia in question. Of course, depending on the injury you might need different treatment…it's doing less for a tendon I just found out is torn, so if you don't see an improvement in a few visits, you may want to consider something else. -
I've definitely suffered from IT band problems before. It happened when I started training for my first half marathon. I was told I could still run on it, but to just take it slowly and not overdo anything. And, stretching A LOT is key. Just google IT band stretches and you will get all you need. It's really simple, but my guess is you already know them But, be diligent in your stretching, it will pay off.
I've already read about a couple of new stretches (I thought my old stretch was sufficient, but now I'm not so convinced), so I'm optimistic that I'll be able to find something that works. My legs were feeling so good and well trained, otherwise. My next half is a fairly hilly trail race, though, so it's probably going to be a similar or slower time, but if I get to run it feeling good I will count that as a win
Oh, and I bet you can definitely make your goal of sub 2. My first half was sub 2 and my second half I cut of about 10 minutes of my time. Considering your injuries I bet you will definitely get past them and meet or exceed your goal.
Lizzie, you are going to have to rename this website "Dream in Horizontal" if you keep running!
Don't worry, there's more climbing in the immediate future!
I feel that switching up different stretches can be good because they "get in there" in slightly different ways. Pigeon pose is one, and that alone can provide a lot of variation depending on what angle you put your calf at and whether of not you twist your upper body (e.g. bringing your right elbow or shoulder toward your right foot if that's in front. "Eye of the needle" is very similar to pigeon (lie on your back, bring the outside of the ankle of one foot to the top of the knee of the other leg, then grasp behind the knee with both hands and lift it toward your body) but less intense, so may be substituted if tightness requires it. Also "good" (intense) for IT band are cow face pose (gomukhasana), Butterfly / Baddha Konasana with the feet far out from the hips so the legs form a diamond (sometimes called Tarasana). To really get at the IT band, you might want to do the stretches yin yoga style, with long (3-5 min) passive holds. A foam roller is also a good way to get in there…
PS just remembered that there are a couple nice 20 min yoga podcasts by Jason Crandell on the yoga journal website that are hip-focussed, which will definitely involve the IT band. Also, to up the intensity of Eye of the needle, start it with your butt scooted up against a wall, one foot about knee height on the wall. lift the hips as you get into the pose (bring the other foot on the knee (quad side) of the leg thats placed against the wall) and let gravity instead of the arms do the stretching – much preferred for longer holds, too.
Wow, thank you for all the suggestions! I'm excited to have so many new stretches to try!
Try using a foam roller! It is very painful, but the more you use it the more your IT stretches out and becomes used to it. I have had issues with IT band tendonitis from lots of time in the mountains,e.g hills; rest is actually the best thing unfortunately which takes you away from the activities that you love…..try the roller and rest…..see what happens.
So this morning, Mark was describing all of the incredible information about IT bands that he got from this video. He loves MobilityWOD, and I have to say, this guy knows what he's talking about. I thought it was really interesting to realize that the IT band is a huge tendon, and you can't actually stretch it. But you can stretch the muscles around it, and reduce the tightness and imbalances that cause pain. As Mark was talking this morning, I'm thinking to myself… "Who have I heard was having trouble with their IT band lately?… Oh yeah, Lizzy!"
So, definitely watch this: http://mobilitywod.blogspot.com/2010/10/episode-61-it-band-hell-and-help.html
Well, tendons, and connective tissue (fascia) in general CAN be stretched, contrary to widespread belief. You can research rolfing and yin yoga/paul grilley to get started on finding out that the passive fascia is much more malleable and active than one may think. The fact that you are targeting the fascia is why you'd hold those stretches for a long time, disengaging the muscles as much as possible.
In any case, whether the stretches work on the fascia or the attached muscles, key is to do them and see if they help.
The comments in the video on running form and hip area strengthening are of course also very valid. Didn't Luke tweet about an article on hip strengthening from Runner's World recently?

MITCHELL, S.D. – Fast starts have become something of a trend for the Dakota Wesleyan University football team.
In 2010, the Tigers started the season 3-0 for the first time in Great Plains Athletic Conference history before ending the season 5-5. Last year, Dakota Wesleyan took that a step farther. The Tigers started the 2011 season 5-0 for the first time since DWU went undefeated in 1992 before ending the year with a 6-4 mark.
Dakota Wesleyan was at the top of the conference through the first half of the season and made it all the way to No. 13 in the NAIA Top 25 Coaches' Poll on Oct. 10, but lost a pair of games by a combined seven points and went 1-4 in its last five games.
In 2012, the Tigers are looking for consistency throughout the season, and a strong finish to go with another solid start.
The Tigers start the 2012 season Saturday, Sept. 1, when they host in-state rival Dakota State University for a nonconference matchup starting at 7 p.m. at Joe Quintal Field. This marks the first home night game for Dakota Wesleyan in several seasons, and just their second nonconference game since the 2004 season.
DWU opened the season against the Trojans in 2011, and got the year started with a 56-20 win in Madison, S.D. First-year head coach Ross Cimpl is hoping this year's opener goes the same.
The team's top quarterback, wide receiver and running back return to lead a talented Tiger offense. Quarterback Jon Bane is back for his junior season and receiver Anthony Muilenburg and running back Josh Endres are both back for their senior seasons. Bane, a junior from Rogers, Texas, helped the Tigers set the school record for passing offense in a season (2,944) in 2012, and set the school's individual single-season passing offense record with 2,817 yards. He is also in the top 10 in the school record book for career passing yards and career total offense.
Bane and Muilenburg teamed up to set the record for longest pass/reception at 99 yards, and Muilenburg – who is in the top 10 for career receiving yards, receptions and scoring and single-season receiving yards and receptions – set the record for receiving yards in a game with 233. Muilenburg earned AFCA All-American honors as a junior in 2011, as well as All-GPAC First Team Offense and Second Team Special Teams honors for his play as a punt return specialist.
Endres returns as the leader of the Tigers' running game. He earned All-GPAC First Team honors as a junior and ran for 891 yards. He is currently third on the school's career scoring chart after three seasons.
Lining up to create holes for Muilenburg and Endres are senior offensive lineman Nathan Little and junior Eric Witte. Little earned first team all-conference accolades as a junior, and Witte earned honorable mention status as a sophomore in 2010 before sitting out the entire 2011 season with an injury. Sophomore Spencer Bloch will compete for time on the line along with freshmen Austin Schroeder and Ryan Zdroik and junior Skyler Eriksen. Also back is sophomore Kyle Hencke, who started every game as a true freshman.
Defensively, linebackers Mike Barnaud and Jeff Maassen look to keep DWU's opponents in check. Barnaud, a senior from Belle Fourche, S.D., led the team with 82 total tackles and 7.5 sacks last season, and also recorded 11.5 tackles for a loss and earned All-GPAC Second Team Defense honors. Maassen earned honorable mention accolades as a true freshman after finishing second on the team with 65 tackles and a team-high 15.5 tackles for a loss. He also had 5.5 sacks.
Dustin Bergmeier will once again control the defensive backfield after earning All-GPAC Second Team honors in his first season with the Tigers in 2011. The senior defensive back recorded 41 tackles and two interceptions, and earned GPAC Defensive Player-of-the-Week honors after the Dakota State game.
Defensive lineman Craig Henglefelt is back for his junior senior season after recording 32 tackles, including 10 for a loss, as a sophomore in 2010. The 6-foot-6, 250-pound lineman will provide size and leadership for a young defensive line. Matt Tuttle and Eric Gruis also return from a defense that gave up just 122 rushing yards and 282 total yards of offense per game.
Headlining the special teams is punter Derek Carlson, who led the GPAC and finished eighth in the NAIA with an average 40.8 yards per punt. He earned All-GPAC First Team Special Teams honors as a junior in 2011.
Dakota State started its season on Aug. 25 with a 35-27 loss to Peru State College. The Trojans gave up 28 third-quarter points in the loss. Quarterback Brandon Large threw for 341 yards and receiver Stacey Berg had seven catches for 179 yards and a touchdown.
To go along with Saturday's season opener, the Tigers are hosting a tailgate prior to kickoff. All Tiger fans are invited to Northridge Park – located two blocks northeast of the stadium and right across the street from Mitchell High School – for a pregame tailgate. There will be food and beverages available for a free-will donation.
For DWU fans who can't make the game, it can be heard live online at www.kmit.com. The game will also be webcast live thanks in part to Mitchell Telecom at http://www.ustream.tv/discovery/live/all?q=DWUAthletics.

Posts Tagged 'fat loss'
It's the time of the year where many people are going to the gym, and have no idea what they're doing. Never fear, here are three keys that will help have effective, fat-burning workouts. Read the rest of this entry »
I've written about this concept before, but it bears repeating. If you don't know exactly what you're trying to achieve, then you are most likely doomed for failure. Read the rest of this entry »
Today there's a lot of controversy about what it actually takes to get healthy and to loose fat. Some say exercise, some say diet, and some say "take this pill." But what is the truth? Can you really lose weight only through diet? Do supplements really work?
The truth is that it takes all three and one more. Therefore components of fat loss: diet/nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and lifestyle. Health and fat loss can be found to some degree in any of these individual pieces but ultimately work best together. If you want to loose that and get healthy it can be done through exercise or diet and even supplements can help, but if you truly want to be healthy and really want to permanently lose fat you're going to need all four.

Ingrid & Scotts Country Estate Wedding
Posted on 09 April 2012
Ingrid's family have the most stunning Estate in the Laurentians near to St Sauveur with a private lake making it the perfect backdrop to their beautiful wedding this past summer.
Friday night over 100 guests gathered at the property for the Rehearsal Dinner BBQ which included elements of the Brides Mothers background with a 'Polterabend' which is a German Wedding Tradition whereby the night before the wedding the wedding guests break porcelain to bring luck to the couple's marriage, which was a lot of fun. The evening finished with an amazing fireworks display, just in time as after the final explosion of fireworks came an explosion of Thunder & Lightening – all perfectly timed of course!
The next morning and sun shone brightly and guests walked from the house to an opening overlooking the lake and surrounded by trees for a ceremony 'with a view' and waited for the arrival of the Bride, which was well worth waiting for. Out of no-where came the sounds of a Scottish Piper, who led the Bridesmaids from the house to the ceremony location, followed by the Bride and her father in a 'Calesh', transported in from Old Montreal to everyone's surprise including the Grooms – and believe me hiding a Horse and Carriage on the side of a mountain is no small feat – well done Chris!! Ingrid also wanted to bring in many different cultural traditions including a 'Salt Ceremony' using 2 different types of Salt and to finish the ceremony the 'Jumping of the Broom'!
Ingrid has an absolute love of India, so her wedding colours were inspired by the richness of Fuchsia and bright Orange to give a strong look and feel to the wedding. Cocktails took place in front of the family house while guests enjoyed getting a chance to meet both the Bag Piper and Horse!
Dinner was announced and guests were then directed into the tent where each table alternated in Fuchsia and Orange Linens and high floral centre pieces giving the room an array of colour! The guests then had fun with Wedding Crackers and were in awe of the stunning Indian Inspired Wedding Cake.
Just before the cutting of the cake Ingrid sneaked away to change into her evening dress which was the most beautiful Orange and Gold Indian Sari! The party started and guests danced the night away – what we loved about this wedding was that it was totally unique, bringing in the couples heritage and a few of their favourite things…. We caught up with Ingrid recently who told us that the 'patter of tiny feet' will be blessing their lives this coming August – Congratulations to you both!

On June 1, 2012, LRR Energy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), closed its previously announced acquisition of certain oil and natural gas properties located in the Permian Basin region of New Mexico and onshore Gulf Coast region of Texas (the "Transferred Properties") pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") among Lime Rock Resources A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("LRR A"), Lime Rock Resources B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("LRR B"), Lime Rock Resources C, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("LRR C," and together with LRR A and LRR B, the "Seller") and the Partnership and LRE Operating, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, for $65.1 million in cash consideration (the "Acquisition"), after giving effect to purchase price adjustments from the effective date of the Purchase Acquisition (March 1, 2012). The post closing adjustments to the purchase price were finalized in September 2012, and the Partnership received $1.1 million in cash from Fund I. The Partnership financed the acquisition with borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
The general partner of the Partnership, LRE GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "General Partner"), is ultimately controlled by the co-founders of Lime Rock Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Lime Rock Management"), who also ultimately control the Seller. The Seller owns 5,049,600 common units and 6,720,000 subordinated units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership representing an aggregate 52.4% limited partner interest in the Partnership and, through the Seller's Class B interest in the General Partner, is entitled to receive 80% of the distributions the Partnership makes with respect to the incentive distribution rights held by the General Partner through November 16, 2017. The General Partner also owns an approximate 0.1% general partner interest in the Partnership, represented by 22,400 general partner units. In addition, the non-independent directors and executive officers of the General Partner, other than the General Partner's Chief Financial Officer, serve in similar capacities with, and own economic interests, investments and other economic incentives in, Lime Rock Management, the Seller and their affiliates.
As described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012 and within this Current Report on Form 8-K, our acquisition of the Transferred Properties from the Seller in June 2012 was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. The purpose of this Current Report on Form 8-K is to recast certain financial and other information of the Partnership to include the financial position and results attributable to the Transferred Properties as if the Partnership had owned such assets for all periods presented in 2011. Items 6, 7 and 8 of the Partnership's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2012 ("2011 Form 10-K") have been retrospectively updated to give effect to the acquisition. There have been no revisions or updates to any other sections of the 2011 Form 10-K.
