The Big Game Means More Than Football This Year
Tune in to Animal Planet on February 7 starting at 3 p.m. (Eastern and Pacific time) to learn more about AAHA-accreditation and what it means to your pet!
Some very special rookies took the field with a winning combination of tackles, fumbles and even a few tumbles, for their shot at the end zone —or a tug toy—in Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl VI. This annual canine battle was back as a new pack of pups mixed it up on the grand gridiron of Animal Planet Stadium. Plus, for the first time in Puppy Bowl history, the sidelines were hopping with the addition of spirited bunny rabbit cheerleaders!
Before the rambunctious rescue pups could compete in the ultimate showdown they received a clean bill of health from Dr. Mazzaferro, who practices at an AAHA-accredited hospital. Annual wellness exams at a veterinary hospital accredited by AAHA can catch problems early and help keep your pet healthy. Keep your pet ready for game day with these videos and articles below on important pet health information including nutrition, parasite control, pain management and wellness.

Decorate with Accessories
When you decorate with accessories, you are showing your interests and personality to the world.
Many people have a fear of using accessories because they have an idea in their mind that everything must be exactly in its place. They think: "I'm not artistic or creative, so I shouldn't decorate with accessories". There is nothing easier to redo or replace than accessories. Don't ever worry about doing things wrong. The only rule here it to give an object house space only if it is something you truly love and it makes you feel good, or makes you laugh, or brings good memories.
Interior Motives has a variety of home accessories to help you add your personal touch to your home. Stop in the store and check out the root candles, vases, picture frames, and other themed home accents in a variety of colors and styles.
All home accessories are currently 25% off for a limited time*.

While most of us spent our summertime trying to find the quickest way to the beach, the Animal Rescue League of Boston had an ambitious goal: Find homes for 1,200 animals in 12 weeks.
From June 1 to Aug. 31, the shelter has been participating in the 2013 ASPCA Rachael Ray Challenge, a nationwide competition to qualify for grant money.
But with just a few days left to go, the shelter's South End, Boston, and Brewster locations are still looking for homes for 400 pets.
"One of our driving priorities is to save more lives," said Mary Nee, President of the Animal Rescue League of Boston. "In addition to finding loving homes for the animals in our care, we want to help more people experience the amazing love and devotion of a shelter pet."
Nee said adopting a cat or dog from the ARL will make a big difference in the lives of animals in need.
"Not only will you save the life of the pet you adopt, but you also save the one that will take its place in the shelter, along with countless others that will benefit from the veterinary care and rescue services Challenge grant money will help us fund," she said.
To finish the challenge with a bang, the ARL is hosting an "Adopt-a-thon" on Saturday, Aug. 31 at all three of its locations, including its Boston location. From 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., there will be adoption discounts, free Ben & Jerry's ice cream, giveaways for adopters, and a taco food truck on site.
If you're interested in adopting a pet from the Animal Rescue League, contact the ARL at 617-426-9170.
- Boston: 10 Chandler Street, Boston, MA, 11:00 am- 8:00 pm
- Brewster: 3981 Main St (Rte 6A), Brewster, MA, 11:00 am- 6:00 pm

Alex writes: Midwinter came and went, like a dream. You can't holiday from the Antarctic winter - we are locked in here for 9 months, alone as a crew of just 13. You soon get used to your surroundings and everything becomes very monotonous.
We all wanted to break the 'Great White Silence' that is the winter around us and chose to go on a holiday of sorts. During midwinter week, we created various sets using decorations, music, props and costumes that the crew spent a great of time preparing. (more…)

We are showing you the Norwegian version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Visit From the Pros
Just as we had finished talking about the Team Sky launch and how exciting it all is, a few of the squad stopped by at the Rapha office here in London. Norwegian Champion Kurt-Asle Arvesen, Juan Antonio Flecha and Michael Barry paid a visit to say hello and also grab a few pieces of kit. Michael can be seen on the Team Sky site sporting a Rapha Long Sleeve Jersey on a training ride, so he must have recommended us to his new team-mates (and yes, we did give them a discount).

Would have been nice to see Team Sky kitted out in Rapha although I guess the price would have been way,way high with the 'big corporates' battling for sponsorship.
Imagine that, a British team, in British kit, riding a British bike…I'm about to break into Land of Hope and Glory!!!

thats right Andy and Joe but they will be riding round Lincoln and Beverley not in the Pyrennes and Alps!!
I've got a lot of time for the domestic teams but Brailsford doesn't seem to do anything by halves and thats where the general public and the media's attention will be focussed.!!

7th January 2010 11:33am
You should see the race programme for Rapha Condor Sharp,yes the British premiers but also all over the world.
2009 saw the team on all continents doing very well.
Only today did the team take a fine 2nd Place in the Australian Crit Champs through Dean Windsor.
But yes you make a very good point Nigel,Sky shall take all the media attention so we have to raise our game which I'm sure can be done.

It's the later rounds where you find out how good a draft year really was, IMHO. People are always skeptical of first rounders but I think as much attention should be paid to 2nd day guys.
hey, Curtis Martin came off the board on day 2.

VIRGINIA BEACH--A teenager originally charged as a juvenile for a Virginia Beach homicide is now being charged as an adult.
Nijel Isaiah Chambers, 17, of the 5800 block of East Hastings Arch in Virginia Beach, was indicted for first degree murder and use of a firearm Monday in connection with the murder of Rene Rivera in the Lake Edward neighborhood on Nov. 17, 2012.
Prosecutors say Chambers is a juvenile but was transferred to Circuit Court to be tried as an adult due to the seriousness of the crime.
Police say Rene Rivera made a run to the store in his mother's burgundy minivan. He was on his way back to her house when he was shot and killed. Police found Rivera and the minivan on Lake Edward Drive near Baker Road.
Prosecutors say that a motions hearing or a trial date will be selected after Chambers has an attorney. Chambers has an attorney appointment hearing on March 7.

No roses were on the line, only reputations on "The Bachelor: Women Tell All." The reunion episode gave controversial bachelorettes the chance to clear up rumors, spill the beans on the other gals, and find closure with Jake Pavelka.
The claws came out once axed contestant Rozlyn Papa sat in the hot seat next to host Chris Harrison. Gia, Jessie, and Ella all had stories to share about witnessing an alleged romance between Rozlyn and one of the show's producers. She denied the fling, saying, "On my child's life, that never happened." However, she did admit that the two of them have remained friends since the scandal broke.
Rozlyn got defensive with the show's host, saying, "You have cameras all over the place and you somehow missed the biggest scandal of the season. That's impressive." He responded by explaining that there is a lot of downtime in the weeks that the show is filmed in which cameras are not rolling and when the women do not have microphones on. The other girls agreed, but Rozlyn fought that she was under the impression there were hidden cameras that could potentially pick up on anything at any given time.
Jake spoke intimately with Chris about falling in love with the two women still in the runnin--Vienna and Tenley. In their first one-on-one date, Jake and Vienna went bungee jumping and shared their first kiss while dangling upside down. Of the experience, he recalled, "It was conquering a fear together and we were able to lean on each other and that really sparked a relationship…That's where it all blossomed, right there."
Tenley and Jake shared a special moment in San Francisco where they wrote fortune cookies for one another. When they cracked open their cookies, they found out they each independently wrote, "Kiss Me." Jake told Chris, "It's a match made in heaven there."
The season has been full of the women bashing Vienna. Now that she is a finalist, they are backing off a bit. Ali, who was one of the more vocal ones in complaining, offered an apology in hopes that Vienna was tuning in. Gia also said, "She's young and sometimes she doesn't think before she talks, but that doesn't make her a bad person. That doesn't make her not worthy of love with a good man."
One of the hardest obstacles Jake was put through was letting go of Ali, who withdrew her candidacy to return to work. "Women Tell All" was the first time the two have seen one another since her departure and he told her, "I think you are one of the most amazing women I've ever met and you'll always have a friend, no matter what."
Ali shared that she still misses him and would have done things differently if she could do it over again. She said, "I think in the end, I kind of just believed that if this was really love, if what I was feeling at that moment was real, then it didn't matter, the show didn't matter. It didn't matter if I was physically there even if I left. If he loved me, he would come find me. He's a pilot. Get in a plane, come find me. And, he didn't." Ali also vowed to "put love first" from this point forward.
Jake admitted, "Ali fell in love with me and me in love with her and no closure." He also spoke about saying goodbye to Gia, confessing, "My heart was crying."
In an awkward kiss gone awry, Michelle was sent home several weeks ago. She now says, "To me, it's not the true way to find love. I don't feel that you can fall in love with somebody throughout this process." Elizabeth said in an interview that Michelle needed a therapist and not a husband, to which Michelle responded, "I don't need a therapist, Elizabeth. I'm stable. I have a job."
Watch the finale of "The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love" on Monday night to see if Jake drops to one knee to ask either Tenley or Vienna to be his wife or if he will continue on as a bachelor. Following the season finale is "After the Final Rose," on ABC.

Disasters happen. In fact, according to the Munchener Ruckversicherungs-Gesellschaft, Geo Risks Research, 355 events, from floods to tornados to tsunamis and earthquakes occurred in 2011. IT organizations need protection from such horrific events, but also those that are more common place, for instance power outages and equipment failures.
Here are a few interesting statistics from the latest Symantec State of the Data Center report (available later this year):
When most people hear the term "Disaster Recovery", they immediately think of data replication. While data is critical when a recovery is necessary, that is only half the battle. The application or business service must be recovered and testing capabilities must be considered as well.
There are five methods or capabilities that must be considered in building a bullet proof disaster recovery plan. They are:

67 WALL STREET, New York - April 19, 2012 - The Wall Street Transcript has just published its Metals and Mining Report offering a timely review of the sector to serious investors and industry executives. This Metals and Mining Report contains expert industry commentary through in-depth interviews with public company CEOs, Equity Analysts and Money Managers. The full issue is available by calling (212) 952-7433 or via The Wall Street Transcript Online.
Topics covered: Chinese Demand for Industrial Metals -Precious Metal Companies Yield Dividends - Global Iron Ore Production - Emerging Market Infrastructure Construction
Companies include: Anglo American (AAL.L); Freeport-McMoRan (FCX); African Minerals (AMI.L); Antofagasta (ANTO.L) and many more.
In the following brief excerpt from the Metals and Mining Report, interviewees discuss the outlook for the sector and for investors.
Jorge M. Beristain, Managing Director at Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., is the Head of Americas metals and mining equity research, which unifies regional coverage of mining and metals stocks under one team. Team coverage includes precious and base metals, iron ore, steel and coal equities. His team ranked number three in the 2011 U.S. Institutional Investor survey for the metals and mining category. He previously served as Deutsche Bank's Head of Latin American Equity Research. Mr. Beristain has ranked in Latin American Institutional Investor's survey as the number two Analyst in the metals and mining industry, and over the years has ranked highly in multiple industries including pulp and paper (number two) and conglomerates (number four). Mr. Beristain is a CFA and holds Securities Principal and Supervisory Analyst licenses.
TWST: Aside from the forecast for rising prices, would you tell us a little bit more about your optimism as you look at the stocks in the precious metal space?
Mr. Beristain: Undeniably, the prime mover for these stocks is the metal's price, so it's difficult for the equities to work if the underlying metal is going sideways to down. But I think that we've also come through a very harsh period. It depends which end of the spectrum you're talking about, but for example the smaller-cap silver sector has, in some cases, issued their equity base five or 10 times over in the past decade. I think that the period of "serial equity issuance" is coming to a close, because there's less and less investor tolerance for companies continuing to write blank checks or using equity to pay for capex or to fund deals in this space. Conversely, we're also seeing that debt is very cheap right now and can be obtained for long durations. I think that there's more pressure on corporates to look across the street to the debt market and start to think of using debt capital as opposed to issuing equity. I also think that some of the company-specific drivers are an awakening within some of the management teams to start to return some of that cash to shareholders. I guess the way I would summarize it fundamentally is, as long as they're earning high returns on capital employed, on investments, generally speaking investors are OK with a lower dividend or even foregoing a dividend, because the first and best use of cash from a corporate is to reinvest in its business to grow it. However, given the long-term capital nature and the multinational nature of the mining industry, especially operating in countries with heightened political risk, rising taxation and rising currencies, it's not a sure thing to continue recycling the money into the business. I think that's where management teams have come a bit of a realization, to just fine-tune the formula between how much cash flow are they reinvesting in the business and how much they can actually throw off to shareholders in a sustainable dividend stream.
TWST: How does your view of the base industrial metals differ from the optimism about the precious metals?
Mr. Beristain: We've been living through a seven- or eight-year bull market at this point in commodities, largely driven by the infrastructure expansion in China. Base metals have ridden that wave and have had their day in the sun for a quite some time. We've seen companies such as Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF), which has been the second top performer within the S&P over the past decade, after Apple (AAPL). We maintain a "buy" on Cliffs, but for company-specific reasons. There has already been investor recognition of that sector. With Cliffs, there is an element of underlying leverage to China's growth. The company has also obviously done some bold diversifications and expansions into seaborne iron ore, coal and other things. I think it's a story that, in the industrial metal sector, investors make the connection: China growth is good for these equities. However, even a U.S. or a European economic recovery will be good for Cliffs and for Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) in the copper sector. In the gold or silver sector, it's more difficult to make that commodity or economic leverage case. Aside from sovereign risk flare-ups or world catastrophes, or contagions which flare up every once in a blue moon, why do you want to own these equities? The answer to that should be simple: they're doing a good job taking the marginal dollar, reinvesting it for an excess return on capital, and as a shareholder you are going to benefit from the company's rising earnings and dividends the investments will throw off.Strong companies like Freeport-McMoRan have also become pretty "well held" stocks within the portfolios of U.S. and global investors.
TWST: As you talk to investors, do you feel like folks are starting to recognize that? Do you see some sort of inflection point coming where they will?
Mr. Beristain: I noted in the fourth quarter that the precious metals equities actually were holding up fairly well in the context of the pullback that gold and silver experienced in the September-October time frame. For a short period, they were almost disconnecting from their underlying metal and implicitly rerating. The market was for a short period seeing through the near-term volatility of a pullback in the metals' price and bidding up their future earnings. Unfortunately, once we got through fourth-quarter earnings, for a lot of the gold investors were sandbagged by write-downs - Kinross (KGC), obviously, was the notable one, but Newmont (NEM) did a write-down as well. Guidance from the major gold producers was also pared, whether it was slightly nudging up their unit-cost projections or slightly pulling down their volume projections. Against that backdrop, in the past six weeks or so, gold prices again have kind of rolled over, from a peak of $1,800 an ounce in the first quarter to closer to $1,650. As I said, it's difficult for these equities to work when the underlying metal is not going in the right direction. So just as the bad news of the fourth-quarter results was getting digested and the sector started to get on a positive run, the metals' price itself is not going in their favor. Sometimes you almost have to ask yourself, under what combination or circumstances do these equities work? When the precious metals were doing well in the spring of last year, these equities weren't performing as strongly as they should have. Conversely, when the metal has fallen recently, they seem to be falling worse. It's difficult to pinpoint if we're at the bottom, but it certainly feels to me that the level of investor apathy now in the sector is starting to be too much. I think that the gold sector and the silver sector worked quite well in 2010 as an outperforming sector, but really in 2011, courtesy of the world's volatility, erratic metals prices and some specific corporate actions and/or changes in guidance, it struggled somewhat.The sector hasn't really regained its footing this year. In fact, it's off quite sharply. But I think precious metals equities should be doing better than they are right now, because they are for all intents and purposes trading as cheaply now as industrial metals equities. The difference is, in a precious metals equity, you have more proportionate resource optionality - the ability to discover significant new resources through exploration. But additionally, you have the change, as I said earlier, in dividend policies, and some contemplation of how to better run the companies in response to investor concerns. It's not quite yet been reflected in the equity prices.
TWST: So where are you pointing investors now? What are some of your favorite stories?

Digital image archiving and communications will soon become a medical imperative for radiography in the 21st century. For many imaging centers and small- to medium-sized hospitals, a transition to the digital world and the costs associated with it can be perceived as challenging. This article will demonstrate how a properly implemented system can save money and improve patient care by addressing the commonly asked questions that can arise when beginning this transition:
1. How much will an effective PACS cost? What type of return on investment can be expected?
2. Can the transition be made in steps, adding enhancements along the way?
3. How will a PACS make radiologists more efficient?
4. How much training time and investment is involved with setting up a new system?
5. Is the fidelity of a digital image comparable to that of film?
6. In a digital environment, can a radiologist readily view multiple studies?
7. How much downtime can be expected?
8. How can a PACS affect patient outcomes?
9. Can remote locations be set up to serve referring physicians and/or institutions?
10. Will images and files be transmitted over the Internet? If so, how will security be implemented?
11. How can I select a vendor that meets my individual requirements?
Conventional wisdom has been that a PACS would cost somewhere between $500,000 and $3,000,000. As such, many prospective PACS users have been deterred from making the transition. Prices, however, have dropped in the past 3 years, and today the economics are much more appealing.
The Catella system, developed by American Medical Sales (Hawthorne, CA), is an excellent example of the value that can now be achieved. Our innovative design provides exceptional capabilities, yet a typical package costs less than $250,000. Such a package includes two diagnostic workstations, each with four medical high-quality monitors; an archive that can store the equivalent of approximately 250,000 sheets of film; Internet access for referring doctors, and the Catella Scribe, which provides complete report editing and access to the integrated dictation module in each Catella Workstation. Installation and training are also included. Because of the Catella system's innovative design, the training time required is usually no longer than 1 week for this type of system.
This basic configuration can provide a high-quality PACS for most organizations, and is the cornerstone for future expansion. With Catella's open architecture, enhancements can be added as volume grows. The Catella installation can also be expanded to include a film digitizer and additional archiving and reporting.
Meaningful savings can be achieved with the use of a PACS and it is a reasonable objective to pay off this investment in less than 2 years. Some of these savings can be achieved through:
1. Savings on film and chemistry costs;
2. Elimination of lost films;
3. Reduction of labor costs; and
4. Eliminating maintenance on a film processor.
The labor savings with any digital system can be achieved in a variety of ways. For the radiologist, the savings is reflected in the ability to read images more quickly and efficiently and in the streamlining of report dictation and transcription using Catella Scribe, which is integrated into the workstation. The Scribe's "voice-command" microphone records and edits report comments and accesses the DICOM header files from the patient's images. This feature eliminates redundant work and the potential for error, for both physicians and staff.
Yet another saving component relates to reducing the labor it takes to create and administer film jackets and manually move them in response to medical requests.
The key to turning a PACS investment into a highly profitable decision becomes a function of work-flow optimization. According to Bruce Reiner, MD and Elliot Siegel, MD, "Work-flow redesign must be customized to the unique and idiosyncratic nature of each individual organization." 1 Customizing that work flow and taking advantage of all that a PACS can provide requires a shift in conceptual approach. On that basis, a partnership must be forged with a vendor who actively listens to the organization and is effective in developing a customized PACS program.
Paramount in making the switch to a digital system is the prospect of providing improved patient outcomes. Information can be delivered more quickly and, if appropriate, emergency treatment can be implemented immediately. Further, confusion associated with mislabeled film or lost film is eliminated.
The image quality that a PACS can provide is excellent. The basic Catella package includes medical-grade, high-resolution flat LCD monitors (pixel rated at 1200 *1600). Since MR, CT and current ultrasound units begin in a digital format, the display of information is homogeneous with the source.
Viewing should replicate and enhance the radiologist's reading room. With four monitors, it is possible to evaluate a study from several aspects simultaneously. The Catella system also makes it possible to increase the number of monitors to four-over-four, providing eight simultaneous displays. With the voice-command system of the Catella workstation, radiologists can work more quickly and effectively, and they do not have to take their eyes off the images during diagnosis. More than 40 voice-activated commands instantly manipulate images and respond to virtually every dialect. The ergonomic design of the Catella workstation provides increased comfort over long periods of time and the "view-box" feel minimizes transition objections.
Since computers and advanced technology are involved with a PACS, organizations are often concerned about the potential downtime they may encounter. As noted earlier, the key to an effective PACS is a function of the equipment, the software, and the customized components and work-flow configuration. With the Catella system, we found that effective planning makes it possible to virtually eliminate downtime. Establishing a goal of 99% uptime is realistic. In this regard, it will have less downtime than a conventional film-based installation.
In addition to the opportunity to provide faster response for patient care, another key benefit of a PACS is its enhanced archiving capability. Images can be electronically retrieved immediately, without manually fishing through files. Also, the PACS provides the organization with the capability to effectively archive advanced new studies, such as the MDCT, which has more than 1,000 slices per study.
The digital environment made possible by a PACS also enables radiologists to efficiently serve hospitals and imaging centers in distant locations. Using secure Internet-based communications over DSL or T-1 lines, the images created by these facilities are transmitted immediately to the Catella workstation. This allows the radiologist an opportunity to provide a report to remote locations in a time frame that more quickly provides for treatment and improves patient outcomes.
This basic system can also be used to serve referring physicians. In those cases, the imaging center can transmit the digital images and the report to these physicians via the Internet. Images no longer need to be sent by courier, and the referring physician can decide on appropriate treatment more quickly.
Developing a successful PACS becomes a team effort between the organization and the vendor. New opportunities exist, and the days of relying on "giant brand-name" companies with their major costs and multi-layered management are over.
As noted earlier, active listening and response to individual needs becomes a critical factor in optimizing work-flow decisions, selecting equipment and training.
The Catella system was created by American Medical Systems more than 5 years ago, and we pride ourselves in our level of customer satisfaction. Our company has 50 years of experience servicing the medical imaging field. Over the years we have earned a reputation for design, reliability, and craftsmanship in the products we provide to the medical community. In addition to the Catella family of digital products, we offer motorized film viewers, film illuminators, and processor quality control systems.
For institutions and organizations considering transition to a PACS, the potential rewards for the institution and for the patient are abundant.

Race Organizer Comments Beaver Island Marathon cancelled in 2012 Ron Suffolk (10/22/13) The Beaver Island Marathon has been cancelled for 2014. Thanks for running this event! Ron
The Beaver Island Marathon has been cancelled for 2014. Thanks for running this event! Ron
If you're looking for a beautiful destination race to enjoy the scenery, this is it! If you need a lot of crowd and runner support, this is NOT it. Very small race (only 100 marathoners), so there were many parts where you were completely alone and had to make sure you stayed on course and didn't get lost. But the race was well organized, the townfolk and volunteers were so friendly, we felt like family by the time we left. Would definitely recommend this race, especially to combine with a nice vacation! Pros: Very organized, Scenic course, friendly volunteers, great post race food and festivities, awesome place to do a destination race. Cons: Many areas of course you're alone, some parts of course not marked clearly enough, many parts of course on gravel so if it rains, you'll be running through a lot of mud. Overall: totally recommend if you're going for speed or for sightseeing!
This was my 8th marathon and overall it was a beautifully scenic, quiet, and at some points hilly course, but mostly flat on pavement and dirt roads doing 2 loops around the north end of the island. I gotta say I really loved the race despite my criticism. I think there is great potential for this one if the organizers update a one or two small but important items (I'll cover shortly). There were very few spectators, but everyone who did come out to watch was very friendly and supportive. But that was okay, there was more than enough superb views of the lake, woods, boats, dunes, lighthouses, etc. to keep you engaged. The roads stayed open to traffic, but it was not a problem. The big problem was hydration: even though there were plenty of aid stations, the cups resembled Dixie cups and were generally half-full or less. Each water stop featured a handful of warm people kindly handing out water and Gatorade, but the small portions made it very difficult to take in enough fluids. I tried to grab at least 2 cups at each station and this seemed to surprise the volunteers and we ended up spilling quite a bit in the hand-off. Yelling out, Gatorade! (versus water) didn't always help either, I often ended up with water anyway. I don't fault the volunteers, but I think the race organizers need to understand that they simply needed some standard sized cups and to be ready with a few more cups per runner. Certainly it is a small race and this was only the 3rd iteration (less than 60 finishers for the full) so I understand that finding volunteers was probably also challenging. My friend ended up in the hospital after bonked from dehydration; I simply teetered off the last 5 miles. I saw one other girl get taken to the hospital, I suspect also as a result of dehydration. Admittedly, it was also raining and cool during most of the race (which made the dirt roads quite muddy and a fun challenge), so gauging your sweat rate was difficult to begin with, but had it been hot and sunny I think we would have really seen the negative impacts of the lack of sufficient water/Gatorade. But this race is still worth running if you live somewhere near this remote island. Hopefully the organizers will stock larger cups, and more of them, next year.
I ran this race both years. In 2010 the course was changed, making this race a favorite of mine. The roads are dirt, gravel and pavement, and the scenery was spectacular with about 8 miles along Lake Michigan! I would recommend this race if you like races with 250 or so runners, wonderful scenery, and a well organized event! The island was wonderful and I cannot wait to do this race again this year. I have done many of the "big marathons" in Michigan - this by far is the BEST one. The volunteers and race owners are so organized and friendly. They know how to make a race successful. I am so excited for this race - I just signed up!
Many complained about the course. I enjoyed passing the same spot 8 times. It allowed me to be cheered on. One big dirt hill; otherwise, pancake flat. Very small race. At one point nobody was within sight of me. Peaceful and quiet, but with frequent trips through downtown for encouragement.
The Beaver Island Marathon was one of the greatest experiences of travel, hospitality, adventure, and running I have ever had. It was an extraordinary event in a truly unique location. Go early and enjoy the remote beaches, unpaved roads, and gorgeous scenery. I was so glad I arrived on Wednesday. After 48 hours on the island I had new friends, had met islanders and runners alike, hung with the defending champ, and had the race director and his wife buying me beers. There are only a few places on the island to socialize, so you will meet everyone! Another reason to arrive early is make sure you get there! Some rough weather altered the ferry schedule for some late arriving runners. Flying is also an option. The adventure of getting to Beaver Island is part of the attraction. I can recommend the Brothers' Place for simple, economical accommodations, especially for single travelers. You will be treated like family! In summary, the Beaver Island Marathon was all about people: social connections, warm hospitality, conversation, laughter, and fun. From the race directors to the runners to the islanders...I felt I was part of something special. Thanks to all!
Great, little race on a wonderful little island. Superb organization and incredible townfolk. They really acted like they were glad the runners were there. They treated us like visiting royalty. Race directors, committee, volunteers, spectators - ALL were great. There were only a few spectators but they were very vocal and friendly, and the vast majority were faithful even until the end for slow guys like me. The race course and scenery were "WOW" most of the time. Overall, a really great experience!!
I had a great run, I met great people and I definitely want to sign up again for the next one. The best way to describe the island and the people is with this story. I was done running 3/4 of the full marathon and was pretty sore. I slowed down and asked a group of people on a porch if they had any Motrin. They didn't, but one man told me he had some on his kitchen table and to just help myself into his home next door. What a tightly-knit, welcoming community!
Anyone who didn't experience this marathon may find it hard to believe these comments, but from the time that I decided to register for this event to the time that I left the island two days after the event, I only had good experiences. The staff at Good Boy Events did a great job presenting information about the event and the island on their website. They were responsive to emails and planned very, very carefully to be sure we didn't completely overwhelm the island. Sharon at Good Boy Events notified us that the ladies shirt samples had come in and they were so small that she took it upon herself to order a larger size for the women. This is an example of the care and concern they had for the event and the participants! The people of Beaver Island carefully considered the prospect of the event and were completely supportive of all aspects of the experience. The participants clearly knew this would be a special experience and it was. As I told a woman at the pasta dinner, "You got it right, absolutely right!" And the after marathon, the next morning's pancake breakfast (hosted by the Amvets) was extra special. Now about the race. You've heard about the course, which was top notch (maybe a minor tweak so that marathoners don't need to do four loops of the lighthouse). The water stops were plentiful and very well stocked, and the volunteers were THE BEST. One husband and wife team who were positioned just as runners were coming off a bike path told me they would stick around until I returned from an out-and-back (that I knew would take me at least an hour), and when I got back there they were - saying, "We told you we'd be here." That's a sample of the spirit of the islanders. Then they hopped in their car and drove to the finish line to see me finish. Speaking of the finish line, the food was incredible! The computer results available immediately with four stations for runners to check within minutes of finishing - made other marathons pale in comparison. I was one of the slower runners and was told that some of the water stops would be closed down but they were leaving water and Gatorade at the stops for me. I wanted to give the race director, Ron, a hug. I never felt like I was at the back of the pack. I hope we, the runners, treated the island well enough that they'll consider doing it again. It was a blast.
I can't stop talking about this marathon; it's one I'd like to do over and over again. The islanders made everyone feel so welcome. The course, with its lake views, small town, and lighthouse, made every step an adventure. The aid station were well stocked; please have another one next year.
I ran the half this year and it was one of the best race experiences I've had. The race was very well organized, and I think the fan support was awesome, considering it is an island with only 600 "full timers." To get to the island, there is a two-hour ferry, but the island is absolutely the best of northern Michigan. The aid stations were well stocked and well-spaced, and I enjoyed the course - pavement, gravel, and a mile on two-track. Suggestions for improvement: I'd like a loop course rather than an out-and-back, and the 9 a.m. start time was a little late. Overall, this was truly a memorable weekend - I had a great time.

DeLonghi kMix Toasters Yellow (DTT02YE) |
$99.95 |
Add to Basket
To see the Kaboodle selling price on this item, simply click on the "Add to Basket" link next to the price above.
If you're tired of flimsy, throwaway, plastic kitchen appliances, if you wonder why "they don't make them like they used to", take a look at the kMix group from DeLonghi. Everything in the kMix group is made of metal, specifically of die-cast aluminum; coffeemakers in two sizes, this toaster, a water kettle, and an espresso machine, all with good-old-fashioned, metal bodies. And not just ordinary silver metal bodies, the kMix machines come in vibrant colors and sleek, attention-getting styles that make them focal points in your kitchen. In fact, they even look like "they used to", with sleek, retro styling updated with vibrant, moder colors. The kMix toaster is both easy on the eyes and easy on your kitchen counter space. The sleek, all-metal design measures just 8.7" long, 6.5" high and 5.9" wide, yet it incorporates a wealth of features. The slots are wide enough to accommodate the thickest slices of homemade bread, and toasting is controlled by a variable browning control knob that also incorporates a defrost function and a cancel function. And what's really cool is that you can "peek and view" your toast, without canceling the toasting cycle. The kMix toaster is a great combination of old-fashioned durability, great design, and modern conveniences. |

While U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio will not be speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) later in February, two of his fellow Sunshine State Republicans will be addressing the event.
As Rick Scott takes the reins of Florida government, some longtime political players find themselves marginalized or cut out of the decision-making loop altogether.
Incoming Gov. Rick Scott continues his "inaugural appreciation" tour of the state with a whirlwind trip across Florida Wednesday.
While a number of elections across the state appear to be interesting contests that will go to the wire, more than 30 members of the Legislature can uncork the champagne and claim victory more than four months before citizens actually vote.
With Floridians due to vote on two redistricting amendments in November, a House panel met Thursday to tackle the issue at both the congressional and state levels by pushing another amendment.
The amendments already on the ballot, sponsored by Fair Districts Florida, would change how the Legislature will draw up congressional and legislative seats. They prohibit the Legislature from creating districts to benefit or hinder an incumbent or a political party and require the districts to be compact.

July 29, 2010 Greg Elder © MSF In the days following the earthquake in Haiti, I was asked in a CNN interview about the rescue of an 11-year-old girl who was partially trapped under a building. It was a compelling story: an innocent victim crying in pain, newly-arrived search-and-rescue teams racing against the clock in an apocalyptic cityscape, and an ethical dilemma over whether to risk the girl's life by performing a crude amputation or attempting a slow rescue. It was an awkward question for a doctor to face on national television. I wondered if I was being asked to comment on the scene or to give a professional opinion on what should be done. Later in the day, I was dealing with the events ongoing at MSF's centers in Port-au-Prince. Our hospitals had been damaged and staff members were missing. Our traumatized teams were struggling with the overwhelming numbers of patients flooding into the facilities they'd established where our trauma center once stood. Our emergency response team was plotting out our phased response strategy and calling high-level contacts in regional governments to request facilitation of our efforts. My mind drifted back to the little girl and I wondered if anything I'd said might have been construed as professional advice to amputate her leg and to move to the next case. Doctors are trained to make these decisions and to live with their consequences. As a doctor working for a humanitarian organization, I am buffered from the personal impact of such choices. At headquarters level, patients can become abstract categories: victims, displaced, refugees, and so on. MSF conducts more than 8 million consultations a year in nearly 70 countries. That's 8 million individual conversations between a health worker and a patient. They could happen under a tent in a mobile clinic in Darfur, at an HIV center in Malawi, or in a trauma hospital in Port-au-Prince. This is the measure of MSF's human reach. This is the "human" in humanitarian. And, from time to time, even for those of us at headquarters, one patient can alter that abstract relationship and make the decisions very real. "The proposed amputation to save this girl's life is a calculated surgical act, at once aggressive and compassionate. A similarly aggressive and targeted approach is needed for the long-overdue reconstruction of Haiti's health system." —Dr. Greg Elder, MSF-USA's Deputy Operations Manager What could be the future of this little girl? What are the implications of my advice? Her leg was probably crushed. Pulling her out with her leg intact was unlikely. Reperfusion of her damaged limb could provoke crush syndrome and put her in mortal danger. Sepsis, gangrene, and tetanus are also risks. But amputating her leg would be only the first chapter. She would subsequently need intensive medical management —surgical debridement of her wound, fashioning of the stump, physiotherapy and planning for an artificial limb–that would require specialists and long-term follow-up care. She would need several new prostheses as she grows, and she will also almost certainly need psychological support to cope with the loss of her limb, the trauma and post-trauma of her experience, and the grief associated with losing friends and family. Services such as these were extremely limited in Haiti even before the earthquake (and almost wholly inaccessible if one didn't have money). MSF set up Trinité hospital in 2005, when urban warfare was raging in Port-au-Prince. For the last two years, it's been the capital's sole trauma center, treating fewer war-wounded and rape victims but increasing numbers of people for motor vehicle, domestic, and workplace accidents. MSF also ran the city's primary obstetric unit—providing obstetric care to some 25,000 pregnant women since 2006, almost 60 percent of whom were facing potentially life-threatening complications—while also providing primary and basic secondary health services in several city slums. On top of this girl's short-term and long-term medical needs, one wonders how a young woman—possibly on her own, with a significant physical disability—will negotiate a crowded marketplace in a poor country that still lacks meaningful social safety nets despite the billions that have been invested in development aid and a UN peacekeeping operation. The proposed amputation to save this girl's life is a calculated surgical act, at once aggressive and compassionate. A similarly aggressive and targeted approach is needed for the long-overdue reconstruction of Haiti's health system. If it can be done, this young woman might not have to bear the burden of her collapsed house for the rest of her life. Dr. Greg Elder is MSF-USA's Deputy Operations Manager |

The federal judge hearing their case shocked many in the courtroom when he ordered a trial instead of dismissing the state�s case to uphold the Michigan amendment banning same-sex marriage.
But April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse � the couple at the center of the case � didn�t flinch. They are nurses. They are adoptive mothers, who dealt with the bureaucracy of the state�s foster care and adoption system. They are lesbians, living in a state where more than 2 million people voted to keep them from marrying.
Nothing comes easy.
If they have proved anything in their months of challenging Michigan�s same-sex marriage ban, it�s that they are patient and resolute. Mothers by choice, they�re activists only by default.
As Rowse said Wednesday at a small demonstration outside the federal courthouse, �If you would have told me when I was 18 and living on a farm in Indiana that I�d be up here defending gay marriage, I�d (assume) I�d lost my mind.�
Getting in front of microphones or answering questions about their potential place in history is unnerving to both women. As they�ve made clear in every interview, they�re challenging the state�s law to give their children rights. Those are the rights they�re fighting for with heart and soul.
And their commitment to their three children � each adopted and each with special challenges and risks � has won respect even from the state�s lawyers, who are fighting to preserve the law that makes the women�s work as parents even harder: The marriage ban prevents them from adopting their children as a couple.
In addition to their full-time jobs � Rowse working days, DeBoer working nights � they�re both enrolled in college nursing programs, finishing four-year-degrees that will enhance their credentials and earning ability.
Now that their children are in preschool, they have a couple of days at home, but no real free time. �Most of the time we�re doing homework,� DeBoer told me from her Hazel Park home, before the hearing.
The judge�s decision wasn�t popular with most of the men and women inside the courtroom, a crowd that pleased the judge. Most had stepped inside after a spirited demonstration, with many wearing a T-shirt that said, �Keep calm and marry on.�
This would not be the day. One side wanted to claim the state�s interest in marriage as a vehicle for �responsible procreation.� The other held up the example of DeBoer and Rowse, urging that time is of the essence.
�There are no second-class citizens in the U.S. Constitution,� argued Carole Stanyar, one of the couple�s lawyers, who pointed out, �April DeBoer is a �legal stranger� to two of her children,� unrecognized as a parent by the law.
Outside the courtroom, Christine Weick held a red vinyl 16-square-foot sign. She ordered it from BuildASign.com eight months ago for $60 plus shipping. �God draws a line on gay marriage,� it said in large letters, with a Biblical citation.
�People say I shouldn�t judge, but I tell them, �The Bible has already judged you. Better for me to do it than for you to fall into the hands of an angry God,� � she said. Weick stood by herself on the sidewalk outside the courtroom.
�It�s very frustrating that I�m the only one out here,� she said.

It's probably not too surprising that what most teens remember about talking with
their parents about sex and protection is how utterly, painfully awkward it was.
Parents would probably agree. And sex ed classes rate even worse among teens -
from tragi-comic to boring, mostly.
But still, everyone believes in doing it (having the talk, that is). It really, really
matters to teens. They ARE listening when their parents try, ever so carefully, to
teach them about delaying sex, and having sex safely when they do. Parents may
find this hard to believe, because many teens have perfected the art of acting like
they're not listening when they really are. Or the art of seeming like they'd rather
jump out of a moving car than listen to a parent say words like "condom." Because
that means their parent has actually had the occasion to use one. And that is
terminally humiliating. But for the last 15 years, year in and year out, teens continue
to say that parents are the #1 influence on their decisions about sex. More influential
than boyfriends, girlfriends, the media, peers - anyone.
So, what if a teen can't - or won't - talk to his or her parent about sex? Another
close adult, like a trusted teacher, coach, aunt or uncle - or even mom's cool fiance
- can be the perfect mix of caring but detached. Which is why it was so great that
Mark decides to talk with Drew about how important it is to use protection every
single time he has sex, even if he thinks his partner is on the pill or some other
kind of birth control. When it comes to popular media, we so often see teenage
girls having this kind of conversation, but the more than 730,000 teen girls who
got pregnant last year didn't do it alone - so it's critical that we also see young men
like Drew taking sex and protection seriously and understanding they are equally
Even if Mark never meant to have The Sex Talk with Drew, given the circumstances,
it was clear that he needed to. So, why did he ultimately tell Sarah that Drew was
having sex after promising Drew that he wouldn't? He was in a tough spot, but Mark
believed Sarah's right to know trumped Drew's potential embarrassment (and his
trust in Mark). A tough choice - but in this case, the right one. Getting walked in on
may well have been the best thing that ever happened to Drew. How can Sarah be
there for him if she has no idea what's going on? Parents are their teens' first and
best teachers; and teens need their parents not so much to be biology textbooks
(they have the Internet, after all) but rather to help them make sense of it all.
Check out this teen-friendly guide to birth control methods and how they work, and what teens really want adults to know about preventing teen pregnancy.
Also take a look at these slide shows with helpful tips for teens and parents.

"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls." ~Joseph Campbell
It's hard to believe that I would title my blog Metta 4 and write 34 posts before even mentioning Joseph Campbell. If there was ever a hint from the universe of where I was headed spiritually, it was when I first discovered Campbell. I just didn't know it at the time.
The first time I heard of Joseph Campbell I was an adult in college. I was raising kids, working and pursuing a history degree. I took a literature class about the grail legends because, from the time I was about 10 years old, I was really into the Arthurian legends. Part of the class involved listening to Campbell's lectures as an expert on the Arthurian stories and myth in general.
At this time in my life I was also a hard-core Christian. I think people who know me now have a hard time picturing this. Sometimes I do too. My kids were in private Christian school at our church, so I was at church six days a week, plus leading the youth group and teaching Sunday school. Although I was never as judgmental as Christianity sometimes invites people to be, I was definitely into the lifestyle. Sometimes when I think about it, I don't recognize that person I used to be.
Joseph Campbell helped me understand metaphor. Metaphor is a huge part of spirituality, in my opinion. It is also a powerful form of communication. Part of what makes it so powerful is that understanding it gives tremendous insight into the universe, while not understanding only means your brain is processing information, causing the mind to set things in motion and it's being done unconsciously. There are deeper messages in everything if you look closely enough. But to do so takes discipline and many lack that discipline.
According to Wikipedia, Joseph Campbell used the term monomyth: "to express the idea that perhaps the whole of the human race is reciting a single story of great importance, which gets further broken down into local form, taking on different guises depending on the time and social state of the culture that recites it. This great story relates to humanity's search for the same basic, unknown force from which everything came, within which everything currently exists, and into which everything will return. This elemental force is ultimately "unknowable" because it exists before words and knowledge. As this basic truth cannot be expressed in plain words, spiritual rituals and stories refer to it through the use of metaphors…"
It was understanding this that made me begin to compare Christianity to the world's other religions. And it was when I realized that "the great story" is only relevant as it applies to me and my interpretation of it and that every person, through their own mythological tale, their life, interprets the story for themselves, that I stopped letting people tell me how to interpret the Bible.
I spent 20 years letting other people tell me what the Bible means and never really questioning what I was told. I did this because, at that time, I did not understand metaphor and its relevance in the universal consciousness. When I began to understand, I realized that I had been reading the Arthurian legends almost as long as I had been reading the Bible, which was ever since I could read, and that I neither sought nor accepted anyone's interpretation of those stories but my own. What was the difference? Why did I think I was capable of interpreting the Arthurian stories, in all their variations, but I was incapable of knowing the meaning of the Bible without making sure my ideas were okay with a group of people who had all agreed on its meaning (without my input)?
I will argue that the Arthurian legends are a body of work as big and impressive as the Bible. That is not to diminish the Bible in any way. It is a wonderful book full of really interesting stories. Stories with meanings much bigger than the literal words on the page.
Each individual extracts a slightly different meaning from the stories because we all have a different and unique perspective. So, just as each person will take a different meaning from the story of Perceval for instance, each person will have a different idea what the story of Abraham or Jesus means. Each person decides what the grail means to them just as each decides what the cross means to them, if anything.
When I began to look at the Bible this way, it was the beginning of the end for me and Christianity, though I didn't know it at the time. Suddenly, when my way of interpreting the Bible became as valid as anyone's in my mind, everyone's interpretation of it, or any mythology for that matter, became as valid as mine.
During my time as a Christian I remember having a hard time with the concept that the truth is relative. I always thought of truth as this objective thing that was constant regardless of who was perceiving it. But that's because I was caught up in the idea of right and wrong. When I started playing with the idea that there is no right or wrong, that there are just different interpretations of the story, I no longer needed a religion that claimed sole possession of the absolute truth of the universe.
These great stories, that cross every culture and touch every person on the earth, are important because their function is to help each of us tell our own story, our personal mythology. Each of our stories is our gift to The All. Each of our lives is a part of the the greatest Great Story and understanding metaphor will help each of us tell the best story we are capable of telling.
Joseph Campbell truly is my hero. I knew it the first time I heard him speak. And after years of reading his books and listening to hours and hours of his lectures, I now see that he set me on the path that led to my spiritual awakening.
Anyone on a spiritual path should consider reading The Hero With a Thousand Faces, or get a copy of the Bill Moyers series The Power of Myth, in which he interviews Campbell at length. Doing so will give you a whole different perspective on life.
As above, so below; As below, so above.
Many blessings.

All One Nutritech Weight Loss Formula Unflavored -- 14 oz
good nutrition shake
It is a very good quality product. It mixed well with water and almond milk. The nutrition content is excellent for anyone wanting a whey protein shake. The sodium to potassium ration is also great for people on a low sodium diet- very important. I've tried both flavors and like both with strawberries, raspberries and bananas.

best with juice, kind of bland
May 26, 2009
Not sure it works, but doesn't taste too good even mixed with coffee.
January 17, 2008
Excellent product
I've been using the All-One Weight Loss formula for several months. I love that it is truly without flavor or smell. I can mix it in my fruit smoothie and not know it's there like other mixes. There is no funny smell or taste like with other products. I like knowing that I"m getting my lots vitamins and all the good minerals that I need.
January 8, 2008
All One Weight Loss formula
This formula mixes very well, it actually improves the taste and consistancy of my morning fruit smoothie. I put half of in my thermos cup for lunch. The fiber helps reduce my food cravings and I'm seeing results. I'm very impressed with the unflavored version of this product. I didn't care for the choclate though I hope that they might come out with lighter flavor versions like vanilla or peach.

Although I'm not a big time user of torrents and the like, I do not like the BREIN imposed blockade of the piratebay. There are multiple reasons for this, but first and foremost is my opinion that the Internet should be a freely accessible medium. Blocking sites does not fit in that philosophy.
Therefore I installed squid on my server to act as a proxy for me. The installation is fairly straightforward:
- Install squid3 (apt-get install squid3 squid3-common)
- Configure security settings for squid:
- Configure localnet to contain only your IP address (otherwise you're making an open proxy, which might not be what you want)
- Configure http_access to allow the localnet
- Optionally change the default proxy port (which is security through obscurity, but if it makes you feel better it's fine)
- Restart squid
That's it. Configure your pc to use the newly configured proxy and you should be able to bypass the blockade. Off course your server should not be behind a Ziggo or XS4ALL connection.
If you don't want all your traffic to pass through the proxy you could use the Firefox plug-in called foxyproxy. You can use it to automatically use the proxy for some websites and not for others.

State Bank of Cherry honored
CHERRY — The State Bank of Cherry has been recognized as a five-star superior bank by BauerFinancial Inc. of Coral Gables, Fla., the nation's leading bank rating and research firm.
A five-star rating indicates that the State Bank of Cherry is one of the strongest banks in the nation. To earn this rating, State Bank of Cherry must excel in areas of capital quality, asset quality, profitability and much more. This is the 78th consecutive quarter the State Bank of Cherry has merited this honor, putting the State Bank of Cherry into an elite group of banks called sustained superiority banks. Only 9 percent of the nation's banks can claim this distinction.
"It isn't surprising to those of us who watch the industry that 'plain vanilla' banks, those that didn't get into risky investments or lending, are the banks that are still standing strong today," said Karen L. Dorway, president of the research firm. "State Bank of Cherry has stayed true to its purpose of serving its community in a prudent and responsible manner."
