Eating Disorders
In their lifetime, an estimated 0.5 percent to 3.7 percent of females suffer from anorexia and an estimated 1.1 percent to 4.2 percent suffer from bulimia.
Between 3 and 5 percent of all adolescent females have a diagnosable eating disorder.
Anorexia is much more common among females, however, males are less likely to seek treatment which complicates the disorder.
Among adolescents with eating disorders, many also have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
The term eating disorders refers to a variety of disorders. The common feature of all the eating disorders is abnormal eating behaviors. Eating disorders are serious mental health problems and can be life threatening.
Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder are common eating disorders among adolescents and young adults. Obesity may also be included as an eating disorder and can affect individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults.
There are several types of eating disorders that require the clinical care of a psychiatrist or other mental health professional. Listed in the directory below are some, for which we have provided a brief overview.
If you cannot find the information in which you are interested, please visit the Mental Health Disorders Online Resources page in this Web site for an Internet/World Wide Web address that may contain additional information on that topic.

April is Pet First Aid Awareness Month, humane society offers safety tips | News
(KFVS) - The Humane Society of Missouri says April is Pet First Aid Awareness Month, and that it is a perfect time to brush up on pet safety tips.
The humane society is urging pet owners to take extra care of pets during spring weather conditions. Some tips include:
Disaster Preparedness - Remember your pet
- Make sure your pet is a part of your plans to seek shelter
- Assemble an emergency supply kit for your pet including: leashes and/or harnesses, food and drinking water, medications and copies of medical records, current photos
- Create a list of places and people that might take in pets during emergency situations
Other Tips to Keep Your Pet Healthy
- Maintain year-round treatment of fleas and ticks and check your pet often for infestation - pay special attention to the insides of ears and face. An early spring, mixed with a mild winter, is the perfect breeding ground for ticks and fleas
- Make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise
- Take your pet to the vet for yearly check-ups and keep vaccinations up-to-date
- Get your pet spayed or neutered
- Keep dogs on leashes outside
- Know how to perform CPR and provide basic first aid
Keep Pets Safe During Warm Weather
- Never leave a pet unattended in a parked car when the temperature is more than 70 degrees. When it's 72 degrees outside, a car's temperature can rocket to 116 degrees, even with the windows cracked. When it is 85 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can soar to 120 degrees in minutes. Leaving a pet in a hot, unattended car is inhumane, illegal and can cause severe injury or even death within minutes.
- Act immediately if you see a distressed animal in an unattended car. Call the local police and the Humane Society of Missouri ANIMAL ABUSE HOTLINE 314-647-4400. A pet showing signs of distress such as heavy panting, unresponsive behavior, seizure or collapse needs IMMEDIATE attention.
- Be certain outdoor pets have access to fresh, clean water at all times. Secure plastic water bowls, never metal, to the ground so your pet can't accidentally tip them over. Dig a small round hole and place the water bowls inside.
- Ensure that your pet has access to shade at all times of the day. Your dog might be in the shade when you leave for work, but the sunlight moves throughout the day. Don't allow your pet to be stranded in the scorching sun.
- If you run or jog with your dog, take frequent water breaks for yourself and your dog. Remember that asphalt and concrete get hot quickly. You have rubber soles on your feet--your dog does not. On hot days, leave your dog at home.
- Do not bicycle or rollerblade with a pet. Heat stroke and possible death can occur very quickly, particularly in hot weather.
- When the weather is dangerously hot, keep pets inside.
- If your pet shows signs of heat exhaustion (excessive panting, vomiting, lethargic behavior), immediately apply cold water to your pet's extremities. See your veterinarian promptly!
- During warmer weather, mosquitoes are prevalent. Make sure your pet is tested by a veterinarian for heartworm disease (a mosquito-transmitted, often fatal disease) and begin heartworm prevention medication.

Forget about eating Chinese and getting hungry an hour later. After lunch at Blue Phoenix, you'll stay full.
Blue Phoenix is an Asian buffet in Owasso that will fill you up with it's comprehensive menu including everything from sushi to wontons to peach cobbler (mysteriously mislabeled as apple pie).
I never went to Buffet City, the Chinese buffet that became Blue Phoenix following an ownership change in April. But I liked the new incarnation, and the number of Owassoans who were there with me on a Tuesday suggests locals like it too.
You can't go wrong with a Chinese restaurant where the fortune cookies contain real fortunes. No platitudes about love and kindness. Blue Phoenix makes predictions! I can't tell you mine, or it won't come true.
Probably the best part is the price. Water and a lunch buffet set me back a whopping $7.04 -- including tax. The dinner buffet is only $8.99 (before tax). Given the amount of food, it has to be one of the best values of any locally-owned restaurant in Tulsa.
I don't often eat at all-you-can-eat buffets, in part because the concept feels like a challenge. How much can I eat?
However, I was doing a review and it felt like a disservice to my readers not to try as many things as possible. In the interests of journalism, I over-ate. You're welcome, T-Town.
I'm pleased to say that I enjoyed it.
The cashew chicken was milder than I expected, almost bland, but I liked it because Chinese restaurants so often make cashew chicken so spicy you can't taste anything but the heat.
I enjoyed the peanut chicken and the coconut shrimp. Probably my favorite dish was the shrimp pancakes, small pastries filled with shrimp meats. I got seconds on those.
For the most part, Blue Phoenix serves the usual Chinese (or Chinese-American) fare. The pork egg rolls and the fried rice were good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I was iffy on the stuffed mushrooms, which were rubbery and tasted like they'd been sitting too long.
For those preferring Japanese food to Chinese, there is a small sushi and sashimi bar to the side of the buffet. The veggie rolls (sorry, vegetarians, this is your best bet at Blue Phoenix) were tasty, and surprisingly a little sweet. With Blue Phoenix's prices, it might be worth your while to go just for the sushi.
The only dish I actively disliked was an angel food cake layered with some sort of jelly that tasted like cough syrup. Definitely stay away from that. If you have dessert, stick with the bananas (which are underused as a dessert) or the aforementioned peach cobbler. Both were light, sweet, and a good way to end my overlarge meal.
The place felt like a Chinese version of Luby's. I mean that in the best way possible.
Blue Phoenix wasn't concerned about frills or with ancillary services like delivery. (They accept carry-out orders, however.) They concentrate on producing vast quantities of good Chinese food.
I arrived a bit before the midday rush began. The large restaurant was almost empty. By the time I left, it was about half full. Not bad for a Tuesday lunch.
It's not a place to camp out quietly and work. (Anyway, that's not fair to a buffet, which thrives on turnover.) It also may not be the best place for a business meeting, unless you like woofing down wontons during contract negotiations. Blue Phoenix is ideal for a quick lunch that goes down easily and keeps you full for the rest of the afternoon.
Unlike most of the restaurants I review, I didn't have a chance to talk with the staff. The buffet style doesn't lend itself to conversation with the server.
Everything I could observe was good. The servers were friendly and helpful. Staff kept the restaurant spotless and the trays on the buffet full. No one hassled me for eating by myself and bringing a book. (You'd be surprised where that happens.)
Overall Experience
Once upon a time, my dad was a linebacker for the SWOSU Bulldogs in Weatherford. He likes to tell the story of the time he and two or three football players went to an all-you-can-eat buffet. They stayed there all day. When they drove by sometime later, it was closed down. Yes, my father and his friends ate so much they shut down a restaurant. (I come by my appetite honestly.)
It's a good thing Blue Phoenix isn't close to TU or ORU. I can easily see some hungry and broke college students doing the same thing to them. If the college kids were willing to drive up to Owasso for lunch, who knows what could happen!?
For a restaurant that only opened this past April, however, Blue Phoenix seems to attract a crowd. Certainly that was the case when I was there.
As near as I could tell, the lunch crowd seemed to be people who work in Owasso. It's not so good that it's worth a special trip from Downtown or South Tulsa. But if you're in Owasso or find yourself there, drop by Blue Phoenix. It's good Chinese at a phenomenal price.

IRVINE - Former President Bill Clinton rallied thousands Tuesday at the Bren Events Center at UC Irvine to boost five Southern California Democrats running for Congress, including state Sen. Alan Lowenthal of Long Beach.
Clinton endorsed Lowenthal and the congressional bids of Assemblywoman Julia Brownley of Ventura, San Diego Port Commissioner Scott Peters, Palm Springs emergency room doctor Raul Ruiz and educator Mark Takano of Riverside. He also encouraged Californians to vote for the Proposition 30 education tax hike and against the Proposition 32 campaign finance measure.
The deployment of the popular former president is an indicator that Democrats are taking no chances in seats that may be close-run after political districts were recast last year.
The crowd, made up mostly of students who were babies or unborn when Clinton was first elected, sat in frenzied anticipation waiting for the 42nd president, sighing loudly as each candidate was introduced.
When Clinton finally hit the stage, the audience broke out in boisterous cheering and applause.
The theme of Clinton's remarks, and those of the candidates, latched on to the wider Democratic message of the fall election.
Clinton argued that more Republicans in Congress would turn back progressive gains made in areas such as health care and endanger social programs that help the most vulnerable.
"Shared prosperity, shared responsibility and shared sense of community work are a lot better than trickle-down economics," said Clinton.
Lowenthal, who is in a scrappy contest with Republican Long Beach City Councilman Gary DeLong, took the stage before Clinton made his 36-minute speech.
The ex-Assembly member and former Long Beach councilman spoke about responsibility to one's community, and the need to preserve Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
"We are the people's party," Lowenthal said. "We will fight for the people."
The state senator also hit on one of his favorite campaign themes - his belief that the economy can grow while government legislates to clean up the environment, citing his political work to help clean up pollution at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.
"We will leave this planet in a better place than when we inherited it," said Lowenthal.
Clinton also touted a federal student loan reform law that takes effect next year.
The legislation was included in President Barack Obama's health care law and expands Pell Grant funding and federal direct loans, lowering costs by eliminating banks as a middleman. The Republican platform calls for repealing the law.
"I'm telling you, if you are here and you're having a good time, and you intend to support the president for re-election, and you want this direction, you need to send these people to Congress," said Clinton.
Tuesday night, DeLong greeted Clinton's endorsement of Lowenthal with a statement suggesting the former president was missing the senator's full Sacramento record.
"As the last president to balance the budget, if Bill Clinton were fully aware of Alan Lowenthal's horrible record of taxing and spending, he would endorse me," the statement read.
The 47th congressional district includes most of Long Beach, part of Lakewood, all of Signal Hill and stretches east to take in all or part of the Orange County communities of Buena Park, Cypress, Garden Grove, Los Alamitos, Stanton, Rossmoor and Westminster.
The race for the seat has attracted national attention from the congressional committees of both parties as Democrats try to make up ground in the U.S. House and Republicans attempt to keep a majority that is now at a 50-seat advantage.
DeLong, the owner of a telecommunications consulting firm, has shot into the fundraising lead, taking in $1.2 million as of Sept. 30, according to the Federal Election Commission. Lowenthal, a 20-year veteran politician, gathered $854,281.

Why do airline seats have to be in an upright position during takeoff?
The rules are confusing, but the safety concern is real.
- By Joe Pappalardo
- AirSpaceMag.com, September 01, 2007
The rules imposed on airline passengers continue to generate confusion. After reading Bobbi Barlow, of Daytona Beach, Florida, asks:
"Can you explain why the seat backs must be in their most upright (and uncomfortable) position during takeoff and landing? Can it be possible that the three inches or so it moves affects the safety of the person occupying the seat or the person behind them? The science behind this escapes me, and I would so love an answer!"
There are two main reasons why flight attendants pester people to keep those seats up—to keep injuries to a minimum during a crash and to clear the maximum amount of space for a quick exit.
The science is pretty basic, as explained by Brian Manning, a flight attendant for Mesa Airlines. "When the seat is up, it is locked. When the seat is back, it's not locked. In the event of an emergency, an unlocked seat has more force during impact, and the thrusting forward of that seat can cause passenger injury."
Like a catapult, the farther back the seat, the greater distance your head would travel during an impact, and the more force would be generated. Those three inches can add to the whiplash effect.
Also, Manning notes, people sitting behind a seat that is reclined or unlocked will not be able to brace properly. And yes, there are proper ways of bracing. In the late 1980s the FAA researched various ways to prepare the body for impact, using test dummies.
Before an airliner is certified, the manufacturer has to demonstrate that it can be evacuated quickly. For this reason, Section 121.311(d) of the Federal Aviation Regulations requires seat backs that can be locked into position. Having passengers weave around jutting seats as they shimmy into the aisle simply wouldn't do.
"Since most accidents occur during takeoff and landing, it is for the safety of everyone onboard the aircraft to have all seats in their upright and locked position," says Manning.

It is a big tin can with wings. "In the event of a water landing"? Give me a break - nobody will ever need to use their so called flotation device.
Seat up or back. Give me a break! When a plane crashes it explodes/falls apart/tears apart. I severely doubt the position of the seat will have any impact on the crash and the shape of people being ripped from their seats, etc...
Airplanes are very big and go fast and when they crash it is not like a car hitting something at 10 mph...
Posted by Tommy MacLuckie on December 6,2008 | 11:23 AM
Many crashes are survivable, especially ones that happen at takeoff or landing (when the seatback rule is in effect). In 2005, for example, an Air France plane overran the runway at Toronto-Pearson; everyone survived without major injuries despite the aircraft sliding into a ravine and catching on fire.
As for water landings: in 1970 a DC-9 was successfully ditched in the Caribbean after running out of fuel. While 23 died, another 40 survived and were rescued. Investigators believe that more people would have survived if the crew had given passengers a warning to brace for impact, and "warn passengers" has since been added to the emergency landing checklist.
Posted by Christopher Davis on December 8,2008 | 12:11 PM
This requirement is dumb. This all comes down to a trade-off. Are you safer with the seat upright? Perhaps in some nominal sense. But, you would also be safer if you had to assume the crash position and surround yourself in bubble wrap every time a plane took off. Why not require that too? Because there is a point at which there is so little return on the investment of time, energy, money, and inconvenience that rationale people do not make that investment. That's why. The odds of any person ever being in a plane crash during take-off or landing in which that extra few degrees of angle would make a difference are inconceivably small. This is like telling people to brace when the plane is going down.

Why do we assume the crash possition in the event of a crash?

Bet you all (commenters above) are feeling stupid right now. Kudos to the entire USAir crew...that includes the flight attendants who too command and ensured that only the proper exits were opened and ensured a calm evacuation.
Posted by An Onymous on January 15,2009 | 06:35 PM
Now that we saw the safe and complete evacuation of U.S. Airways Flt. 1549 in the Hudson River, I would guess that all of the above questions have been answered. That is what happens when you have a great flight crew and the Captain and crew know what they are doing (per their training)
It reminds me of how I used to question the seat belt law until we had a landing gear strut break on take-off (in a C-119) and the seat belt was the only thing that kept me from bouncing off the cieling (per the Captains orders) when we landed.
There is a reason for these rules and it's best for all if the rules are followed..... Afpae1

Does anyone know the FAA rules regarding the rationale of why in some flights there are 3 seats in a row and other times, 2 seats in a row, and in larger flights, 5 seats in a row? I travel often with my 2 kids and another adult will be with me, and it would be great to all sit together 4 in a row. The flights we take are smaller air crafts, so we have to split up, 2 and 2. In larger air crafts, there can be 4 or 5 seats together in a row. Is there a reason why, for example there couldn't be more than 3 seats in a row in a smaller air craft?
Posted by Christine on January 18,2009 | 03:31 PM
In addition to safety, it's question of good manners. During takeoff and landing it's nice if you don't have to be someone's hair in our mouth, and during meals too.
I really like Ryanair's seats that cannot be reclined at all. This is like many other things, if there are no strict rules, some people can't think anybody but themselves.
Posted by Flyboy on February 12,2009 | 07:35 AM
The crew during the UsAir FLight did an excellent job. I see numerous times wher passengers do not listen and accidents do happen and people can survive. It takes just to listen for this to happen. Also the more room you have to put your head down and protect your head from an impact the safer you are.
Posted by flygirl80 on February 13,2009 | 01:35 PM
While the locked vs. unlocked seat argument is compelling one of the motive could be reduce the cost for airlines having to return the seat back to upright position once the passenger have left. I simply dont buy the argument that 3 to 4 measly inches that they allow to recline makes much of difference in terms of clearance during evacuation. Commercial airliner seating is one place where human being are treated more like animals. Heck there are cheap tourists buses in Thailand with recliner seats with ample leg room for crying out loud. Airline interrior design fundamentally needs to change. Don't give me the "making it economic" argument - it has to pan out at certain point such that comfort meets the cost.
Posted by ajay sharma on February 17,2009 | 12:46 PM
Agreed! And when you consider the possibility that the "upright" position is really the "nearly hunched over position" and the "reclined" position is really the "upright" position, you begin to see how words can trick the mind. In all actuality, both positions are still in the upright, supine position. As passengers we may become frustrated at the person in front of us who reclines, when really we should be frustrated at the airlines for cramming the rows so close together! If airlines were not for-profit organizations, perhaps there could be 50 inches between rows with the ability to recline back 7 or 8 inches, wider, more comfortable seats. Heck if we weren't given the opportunity to truly recline at least 7 or 8 inches, then I could understand putting the seat back into its upright position. Furthermore, we should not relate "seatbacks in the upright position" to "wearing seatbelts" just because the two fall under the umbrella of FAA regulations. Saying one action that works to save lives during a flight necessitates the need for the other is a fallacy. The two actions are entirely unique, in and of themselves, different. Seat belts can and do save us in times of turbulence or crashes. A seat back 3 inches would not make a world of difference in a crash involving such high velocities.
Posted by James on June 2,2009 | 08:37 PM
I was reading the comments below this article and really had to laugh at the following question. "Does anyone know the FAA rules regarding the rationale of why in some flights there are 3 seats in a row and other times, 2 seats in a row, and in larger flights, 5 seats in a row?" I don't know if there are any FAA rules about the # of seats in a row but I doubt it (within reason!). Each airline tries to cram as many seats as possible inside the aircraft. A 737 has 6 17" seats in typical coach configuration with an isle in the middle. To fit more seats in an airplane either the seats have to be smaller or the airplane has to be wider. The next larger size plane in terms of width is a 767 with a 2-3-2 configuration. I'm sure Boeing could have made the plane with 4 seats on each side of 1 isle but it probably couldn't meet the FAA requirements for all of the passengers to exit in the required time in an emergency.
Posted by Tomelow this articl on June 12,2009 | 12:18 AM
Sooo on Military planes the seats faced the rear so during a crash landing, the head and neck did not suffer injury. When are we going to see that configuration on Commercial Airlines? NEVER.
Posted by Virginia Seahawk on August 21,2009 | 09:56 AM
The sole reason why the seat backs must be up is not for your protection, but for the protection of the person behind you. During a crash everyone will lunge forward with a force. You don't want your head crashing into the seat back in front of you which can happen more readily if it is in the reclined position.
Posted by Sasha on November 8,2009 | 03:35 PM
I'm sure it all seems silly to some, and sure they need redesign, more space, better this and/or that. One has to keep in mind that the purpose of flying is to travel, and that lifting things into the air is very energy consuming. Figure into the mix the costs of the craft and inspections/replacements etc., and you get higher airfares. These aircraft don't last forever and the companies that operate them must make a profit -- or you'll have fewer choices -- so, if "grouse you must" at least take a few deep breaths of reason before you do.
Whether the rules are needed or not, in any particular case, cannot be foreseen, is why they have to be uniformly applied, even if in your particular event, they may not be so effective.
Posted by Obwon Kenobe on July 7,2010 | 08:00 AM
this is one more doubt I had apart from why the light have to be dimmed before landing now i get the reason straight.
Posted by Erick on August 26,2010 | 02:35 PM
Are some of you people serious? Following these simple rules MAY save your life. They may save the life of someone around you. Are you seriously that stupid to blow them off as they're a minor inconvenience? Tommy: "Seat up or back. Give me a break! When a plane crashes it explodes/falls apart/tears apart. I severely doubt the position of the seat will have any impact on the crash and the shape of people being ripped from their seats, etc..." Who do you think knows more about this? You, or aircraft seat manufacturers? I guess it's lucky that you won't be around to explain to your mom/wife/kids that you could have survived an accident, or worse, someone else's mom/wife/kids that you couldn't be bothered to give yourself or their family member every chance they had.

If you don't like the rules, drive it.
Posted by Otis on February 7,2012 | 04:51 PM
They want yo minimize injuries in the event of a crash? Whiplash is the least of my worries if the plane is about to crash.
Posted by lisa on February 8,2012 | 12:10 AM
This does not make sense at all.
I travel business class and in e.g. Jet Airways, passengers have a little cabin-like seat.
Whether you recline your seat or not, there is no bstruction to the people seated on the back. Still, everybody is asked to put to upright position.
About the lock/unlock - when the seat on in recline, it looks pretty locked to me. And if not, why exactly can't the aircraft manufacturers make the reclining position lock?
Posted by Jim on February 11,2012 | 04:59 PM
When I read some of the comments on this subject it is obvious that we in the industry have not provided credible information to the traveling public and so there is a lot of skepticism and confusion concerning air travel.
When traveling with the airlines people think it's all about what is convenient or inconvenient. I'm not comfortable with the seat in the upright position. I don't want to turn my phone off, etc., etc. Safety, like security is inconvenient. everybody wants to bitch about it but it could, just maybe, save your life.
Everyone likes to bash the FAA but the fact is that due to the efforts of the FAA , air transportation is a lot safer today than it has ever been. It is very rare that you would die in a plane crash in the current system.
I personally do not enjoy flying commercially. It is a pain in the posterior to put it lightly but the chances of arriving alive and intact is pretty high.
Posted by Charles on June 16,2012 | 07:47 AM
There should be an effort made by the airline companies to mold the design of the aircraft for better comfort of its customers. If I fly 11 hours and 10 of that is uncomfortable that is unacceptable at 1,500 dollars. Hands down 100% no exceptions. The air line company will continue to use bogus safety rules to accommodate the regulations of their insurance providers others wise they are not covered! If said person fails to follow rules then it can be investigated that person was liable for themselves. Its simple! Just company policy. Ultimately some is being asked to do a job and did not make the rules they are just earning a living so quit being jerks and giving them a hard time. I hate to do it but you at this point have to pay more money for a little bit of comfort. I am all for more efficient planes but do you honestly think they will give up one or two 1,500 dollar seats for one person. NO WAY! Its big business and that's big money to loose.

Ice cream cake and fried calamari
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008I'm so glad to be back at work today. I usually love long, holiday weekends, but I'm exhausted and I ate horribly the entire time. Saturday we celebrated my niece's birthday with burgers and ice cream cake. Sunday night my husband and I rented a movie and ordered a pizza. For Labor Day we went to my sister-in-law's. We spent the day on the beach (I didn't drink enough water) and went to a seafood place for dinner. Every single thing on the menu was deep fried.
I have a headache and my tummy feels awful. My midwife would not be happy. Her practice is very nutrition-centered and I usually try to be, too. I'm chugging water and can't wait to go to my Yoga class tonight. I had a small apple and multi-grain toast for breakfast. I'm planning to have a big green salad for lunch. I don't know about dinner yet, but I'm thinking a light soup. I brought two snacks with me: low-fat yogurt and carrot sticks. I need to get back on track.
It's amazing how food impacts the way I feel. Do you know what I mean?

NYS FAIRGROUNDS -- Less than 50% of students in the Syracuse City School District graduate from high school.
It's a growing concern for Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection, a non-profit group dedicated to shoring up the city's dropout rate.
The 3rd Annual Taste of Success fundraising event at the State Fairgrounds helps raise tens of thousands of dollars to do just that.
"These are great kids. These are kids that if we don't step up as adults and try to help them they're not going to graduate and then they're going to be a burden to us as a society," said Wayne O'Connor, Executive Director of Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection.
O'Connor said he's starting to see the hard work pay off.
He'll be going to five high school graduations in Syracuse this year – and credits Hillside with keeping those students on the right track.

Squamish 50 2013 Preview
It feels like survival. The Arc'teryx Squamish 50 ultra run is a really TOUGH race. The 50 mile course, 85% of it singletrack, has 3,800m/12,000ft of climb and descent. Technical and wild, it's also grueling, remote, and punishing terrain, albeit with stunning views. Welcome to ultra running, Canadian style.
In only its second year of existence, the Squamish 50 is sold out. On August 10, 2013 an international roster of 600 runners from 9 countries will put themselves through the paces, running courses of 50 miles, 50km, and 23km.
Relatively new as a sport, ultra running covers distances longer than a marathon. The runs are uniquely about pushing personal limits, pushing those limits hard, and pushing them far. Courses require absolute commitment. At Squamish, the back half of the 50 is more difficult than the first. Just to reach the finish line is a victory. Gary Robbins, one of the two main organizers of the race, credits the striking surge in popularity of ultra runs to an "experienced road running/marathoning community that's looking for a new challenge, and a younger generation that's going straight onto the trails," in addition to a growing mainstream culture with an intense focus on personal journeys and fitness. "Ultra running is no longer looked upon as a fringe sport pursued by extremists, as much as it's an extreme challenge that is doable by the vast majority of the population."
Having a local high performance outdoor brand sponsor the event underlines the intensity of both the course and the event. Robbins is quick to note that "Arc'teryx was the very first brand Geoff (Langford) and I approached about coming on board as our title sponsor. Arc'teryx has a heritage of quality, innovation, style, and mountain culture that instantly helped our event gain international exposure and credibility."
Lawyer and local Arc'teryx athlete Adam Campbell describes ultra runs this way; "There are certain races that you do to see how you stack up against the rest of the world and then there are certain races where you're looking at this incredible scenery under insane fatigue. Your senses become quite heightened." Campbell, one of the world's top flight runners, will be competing in this year's event. Also in the exclusive field are Americans Karl Meltzer, current World Record holder of the most 100 mile victories of all time (34); and Krissy Moehl, ultra running superstar and recent winner of the Mt Fuji 100 miler in Japan. Canadians David le Porho, Lisa Polizzi, Nicola Gildersleeeve, Catrin Jones, and Jason Loutitt are strong contenders, as are dark horses Nathan Barrett of Vancouver and Stacey Cleveland from Penticton.
"This is our home turf and it's one gnarly race," says Laura Fergusson, North American Events and Athletes Manager for Arc'teryx. "We have athletes who are true competitors and working with Geoff Langford and Gary Robbins is a positive partnership. It's a huge win."
The 50 mile course begins at 5:30 am, Saturday August 10, with a final cut-off of 9:30pm. That's 16 hours of suffering? Suffering implies there is no benefit, no reward. With these views, challenges, and the camaraderie of going to the brink and surviving, that is simply not the truth.

Born Richard Melville Hall in 1965, Moby started playing music at age 9 and taking photos a year later—shooting 35mm black-and-white film on a Nikon camera that his uncle, a New York Times and National Geographic photographer, had given him. He studied philosophy and photography in college, where he developed his own film and processed his prints in the school's darkroom.

-- the bells -- 26 times this morning in Newtown Connecticut and countless other communities across the United States.
Noting each of the people killed at a Connecticut elementary school exactly one week ago.
In this morning's Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan tackled the question of how parents and children.
Go forward from here.
She writes about how kids are most often afraid of imaginary monsters like the ones that supposedly live under their beds.
She shares how a friend just told her that quote.
What's so terrible for the little kids -- hear about new town is that the dream monster.
Is now real.
Joined now by a group of parents some of whom you will now is political analysts or from other Fox News segments but all of whom have young children.
In a world where now we realize the monster is real.
Thank you all so much for being here it's such a sad day for.
Somebody in the country and I know our our viewers are feeling it because we -- together a week -- exactly right now as we learned.
That unit was in fact -- are twenty children who had been killed.
And I feel and I -- you all feel it in the question is now.
A weak leader in on -- go forward basis as parents as human beings.
How we supposed to process that's how we supposed to.
Help our children process this.
And how do we get our kids to a place where they can go to school.
And feel safe and not worry about the real monster chart doctor Jeffrey they're -- -- -- -- I would say first and foremost we need to take out time in processing.
What's going on asked parents.
Even his children because we still don't know what really happened what the motivations were what the role of mental illness was.
Communists that there are mad men out there now we know that there is a red line that they will cross that.
Those mad -- happened to be our children to.
And in no way am I making excuses for the shooter but we have to address.
Why these things continue to happen and why -- -- mental health wide the mental health experience is so lacking.
For these young men who are at the -- -- an artist it can be an Arctic to it to find something to do to find something to change I would say the most important thing in and I know everyone will jump -- and the most important thing -- we need to continue to have the conversations.
The discussions and let our children know that we are there.
For them we will try to keep them safe that there are no guarantees.
I mean and as moms and dads straitjacket -- -- -- your your doctors successful that we had to -- -- as a mob you know how do you.
How do you get through this with your kids and come for yourself that they can go to school they're gonna come home a life.
Set I went through this also with 9/11 with my children who are very much younger at that time.
Part of -- is that you the first.
Random acts.
Happen that we basically live in a safe world and you need to reassure your children and that and yourself and myself and that's probably more myself than anyone else.
Listening I mean that's been my job this week is listening to my kids I'm not a believer been hearing some reports from some parents and my practice where.
Little four year old it's been brought up in school I don't think that's appropriate bomb I think there are ages that you can -- your children.
But at the same time they're bringing it up where are that you need to listen and let them process at their own right my two boys are very different.
What if you know he's the if he's fine with all this the other one -- is still struggling and I understand hey you you know he didn't generate.
-- against you just gave birth to a baby this year.
He was a new mother and I actually -- of -- -- -- you know it.
Have you worry about what what world are they about to be brought up in what other red lines are going to be -- -- they reach majority.
Sounds selfish and then I'm sorry from the parents -- have kids that understand what's going on -- my first reaction I was here last Friday when this happened was.
Thank god thank up -- -- too young to understand what's going on.
Thank god and I have to explain this to him and hopefully.
-- growth -- a world where we do something to make it a little safer for him but much like 9/11.
Things I see and hopefully we'll have to change and the school that he will be attending been six years when he starts going to school.
He's probably going to look very differently from school that your kids have -- tendon today -- last week.
I can only tell you that's OK you know community I had heard about -- the possibility that more more parents are gonna choose to home school their children now.
Out of fear.
With -- your thoughts on that.
I don't think that.
It is you might see that for a little bit but I don't think that's something that parents are going to be doing for the long run you're gonna keep your kids today saying that regular school kids in regular school we're gonna keeping them safe where they're supposed today.
And the schools are now gonna make regulations.
And their gonna start to put in some practical.
Lots and lots are things that they really need to do -- -- to prevent this from happening we we had the NRA cannot today called her un arms police officer in every school and I don't wanna make as a candidate is regarded on them but but.
Would that make you feel better with that -- you bring you some comfort TJ McCormick.
That makes sense to me and a very literal level we -- we put armed guards did to detect banks we have armed guards at airports it.
That is jarring all of us and keeping a lot of us up at night is is what happened to these little babies these -- If we're gonna protect -- the same -- be protects money.
Well I'm what are we going to protect and so on a very literal level -- yeah it makes sense to many who does it make sense.
-- I don't -- as their places of learning where children also -- and the safety should have -- life.
Place of learning and and it needs to be a safe place and not feel that way I don't be cleaning -- -- this week we did a story on how.
Sales of bulletproof backpacks are their rhetoric yeah and I mean I'm I'm thinking to myself and talk to viewers about this how do you explain your child.
-- This is for your books and also to save your life if it's a shooter comes in your elementary school and starts trying to murder you Tony -- Meg and this is an incredible that were even at this point our society where you have to consider something like this you know.
As a parent that day and 9:30 in the morning that Friday I was watching my son's Christmas pageant.
-- sanctuary watching -- five real should be doing.
Which is to enjoy the holiday season and celebrated.
And to know that at that exact same time this massacre was happening and -- so many levels affects us as parents and I almost hate to say almost more than any other tragedy -- I see this kind of.
Collective sense that something has to be done and and something does have to be done.
And it can't just be on one issue everything is on the table -- things -- -- -- Still wake up people and those who are on the right do you feel like okay let's talk about guns and people -- on the -- you feel like let's talk about.
Buzz lower standards for institutionalizing the mentally ill and so what's happening as I'm.
Yet -- -- -- for par I would.
Have a problem and I probably feel better knowing that there was somebody armed.
At the school I have a nine year old daughter and a seven year old son and a three year old son and one thing that gives me concern and pause is.
Is active with regard to the three year old who's in preschool right now.
Is it really is easy to get into that school I hate to say it's a lot and especially obviously in any shadows waiting -- its updated the status.
Why I'm not against somebody.
Being there just in case although what I'm trying to do like -- you know the doctor said you know you try and -- garner information what do my kids now but I don't want them to think.
You know just because one monsters out there yeah.
Everybody's a master -- He's not I can't imagine how do you stop that you know because kids you that we all kids once an addition having kids.
Don't worry about the monster under the -- and now they've seen evil and a monster in real life.
They have to.
At what I've done with my son is try to listen to what he is worried about because what I found is some of the concerns and fears and I have.
Are necessarily the same as what he has direct -- -- -- from the viewpoint of an eleven year old.
And he's you know he's had a he's a child has had some challenges he's you know had special services at school and and he doesn't necessarily react the same -- that he's very frightened.
And have to listen to and had to make him feel that he is safe that's one of the things said that that I wish would be discussed -- this processes.
The responsibility of the schools to try to help these children especially we have high functioning children to school -- the best equipped to see a problem to have.
For fast you're kind of the shooter himself right now to -- and -- -- -- and just did everything possible that that -- and that principle of the -- -- -- on Fox -- talking about -- They made sure this kid wasn't bullied and made sure that you didn't get targeted -- that's how we -- after column and that's where we went like what they've -- network than that but the reality is so much more to worry about.
He -- it's not just black and white you can't just look at a kid and say okay this is a troubled Katie spends time by himself.
Within a flag this kid you know because a lot of these issues they fly under the radar.
His mother know become -- mother and that was good troubled son -- time.
We ultimate is no question that she was paid educated but there's a question about whether she needed to do more -- want to ask you Doug burns because.
Out of the darkness comes some light yes that is you know.
One of the V we were talking about these these teachers these these six women men who literally shielded these babies everybody here rancor you answer that is not not -- -- types and -- cops come into the building.
And did you get about -- of the union stuff whenever.
They came ran toward the danger and -- little -- threw themselves are these little babies and and one of the viewers at all what adult wouldn't do it.
Some -- those will be too scared you can't say yeah.
You never know what you're gonna do -- that but the point is we've seen such lightness and you have to bring that to your child as well know what we've seen and the world that -- the community the world the nation rallying around those.
-- more -- and those and their families that of the heroes and.
Kennedy making a great point which I totally agree with which is that after the American after nine elevenths you know you do see people rallying in coming together.
And trying to cobble together some type of you know positive feeling about it but I like we said earlier in terms and what Peggy Noonan right I mean it's like the shattering of the innocence of youth and -- and that's the problem.
And you know once you crossed that rubicon that's why I think it's a fair discussion to say should we make a school like a court and then when -- -- -- -- -- -- here you know.
I don't know the answer that I.
No I will say -- after column that ever come by and so well we had the same kind of discussions and then people moved on and he had shootings and subsequent column by because -- last weekend people -- done.
And as a mother that's why I said earlier right I hope this will be an analyst -- the forest for something -- we have.
Hoping you don't you don't really you know who has a lot of responsibility in doing that is the media.
That's because the media chooses what stays in the news and what does save in -- we if we don't say on -- that is gonna -- pirates.
Lisa and I had an.
I don't you know what though we can't let this take away our children's innocence and I think we could be Smart about it we will be -- -- how we discuss it but we owe it to them.
To try to give them the child will deserve and I.
-- -- reach out.
We stand together and and define evil and that's what we do -- and that's what.
I got it up and thank you -- so much and Merry Christmas on it.
Coming up --

Life Lost? Or love, lust, adventure found?
Soleil is from a world of darkness and thunder, where the cruel, clawed Krexyslatch rules, slaughtering Soleil's people, and driving them to near-extinction. Today is Soleil's birthday, and he desperately wants a female companion. There are few women remaining on his planet, so he ventures to Earth to see whether he can lure one away. It is only when he is delayed that he realizes the woman he has captured may well have gone to her death.
Soleil's regrets can do nothing to help Terra survive when she is suddenly, shockingly transported to a world filled with predators. Going from an unchallenging job on Earth to the greatest challenges she has ever faced changes her, and she discovers she has a few rare talents that may just make all the difference to Soleil and his people. Will she embrace this new destiny? Yes—but only if it includes embracing Soleil as well.
Soleil was close. He could feel it, sense her sweat on the air. That was one thing his world had in plenty—humidity. The girl was just lucky she'd arrived between thunderstorms. She would never have heard the Krexyslatch coming if it hadn't been for the cessation of thunder. It would have been upon her in sleazy, greasy silence, to gnaw and—
He shuddered, unwilling to consider her fate. Too many of his own had succumbed with the arrival of the Krexyslatch and its bleak legions. It had brought darkness into a world which had once been cast in pink and gold. His had been a thriving culture, their future determined, or so they'd thought. Destiny rode on decision, only they'd never planned for those decisions to include glooms or darklings, or for the need to counter devastation. Theirs had been a sure thing, their civilization strong, resilient.
And it had been their downfall. They had been in control of their world. None of them had thought that control could be relinquished to something so simple, so natural, as the force of thunder and lightning. Those were the Krexyslatch tools for conquering, subduing. Very few people had the skills to stumble knowledgably through the dark. Inspire fear with loss of light, with terrifying rumbles and clatters, slice the darkness with knives of electrical surge, while hunting the blind and deafened prey.
And she would be as little prepared as his own kind had been. Soleil picked up her scent riding on the low-hanging cloud layer, dense now with her sweat. He wouldn't be the only one in pursuit. He could hear her just ahead, but from behind him came a wisp of black smoke, then coils of the stuff. Uh-oh. The female wasn't the only tasty morsel out here, nor was the Krexyslatch their only predator. Since his world's population had been decimated, even their native predators were no longer in check. Their numbers had multiplied, feeding on the blind and weakened. Now, they were fighting to sustain their population amidst diminishing prey.
Soleil was slammed from the side, rammed with a heavy head. The force of the blow lifted him off his feet, but when his toes touched the soil once more, he dodged, ducked, then raced ahead. Shcatx help me! It was an impatient, rather than a fearful reaction. This kind of testing, are-you-edible ramming was a common occurrence on his world.
I don't have time for this!
It was making time for him, however. Something in his make-up, that contact with his form, must have expressed just the right degree of solidity to suggest a yummy repast. When it came at him again, this time, Soleil was prepared. He went with the blow, rolling over, and kicking out. The heel of his foot contacted a thick mass of hair, that bled light around the edges. The thud of his kick was loud and hollow, and his would-be consumer squealed. Satisfied that he'd at least slowed it down, Soleil jumped up, and took off running.
He could see her form, struggling up ahead. He was within reach now, as were the caves. It was obvious where she was heading, but if she were to enter, she'd soon lose herself in the twists and turns—and lose him shortly after. For the first time his frustration showed, and his eyes glinted sharp angles of light. He'd expected a challenge, yes, but who would have thought securing a female would prove so difficult?!
She was nearly at the mouth of the cave. Soleil dove in her direction, and the two of them rolled, in a clatter of pebbly rock, before he settled, facedown, atop her writhing form.
He froze, listening, hearing the scuff and slither of pursuit, intent on marking the distance. The female had no such plan, though. She wanted a fight, and was fighting mad. Before Soleil could so much as cover his face, she was pounding, bashing, whamming him with her fists, bumping him with her forehead, writhing and biting everything in sight. Her feet took up where her teeth and fists couldn't reach, kicking out viciously, in frenzied slams, thuds, crunches.
She's insane. Soleil recognized the enormity of his folly in his lack of selection. He'd been so eager he'd trapped himself a madwoman.
For merely an inkling, a wisp of time, Soleil was tempted to leave her to the Krexyslatch. They deserve each other…
Wouldn't be fair… Grumbling, his eyes narrowed to avoid her claws, Soleil resigned himself to the rescue. He couldn't wait any longer. He grasped the back of her jacket, and dragged her, screaming shrilly, into the cavern mouth.
