Marijuana bill gets hearing; K-12 education, KanCare, state hospitals also in focus for Week 2
It's probably a safe bet that Kansas won't join Colorado and Washington state in legalizing the recreational use of marijuana, at least not anytime soon. But a Senate committee will consider a bill this week that would reduce the penalties for first and second time possession. And it would take baby steps in the direction of allowing certain medical uses of a cannabis derivative.
House Bill 2049 passed the House in May last year, 81-36. But it came so late in the session that the Senate ran out of time to consider it, and so held it over until the 2016 session.
The bill would do three things: reclassify first and second possession offenses as misdemeanors instead of felonies; authorize the Kansas Department of Agriculture to conduct research into industrial hemp production; and allow the use of hemp oil as a treatment for certain kinds of seizure disorders.
The hemp oil provision was added as an amendment during floor debate in the House last year by Rep. John Wilson, D-Lawrence.
Hemp oil is derived from the seed of the plant and does not contain THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana. But some studies have shown that it can reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in people with epilepsy.
A fiscal analysis conducted last year estimated that passage of the bill would eventually reduce the state's prison population by 75 beds, saving the state a little more than $1 million a year.
The Senate Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee has scheduled hearings on the bill Wednesday and Thursday this week.
K-12 education
Issues around K-12 education in Kansas will be the topic of discussion in multiple hearings this week, starting bright and early Tuesday morning when the special K12 Student Success Committee meets to finalize its report to the full Legislature.
That's the panel established last year when lawmakers repealed the old per-pupil funding formula and replaced it for two years with a system of block grants. Although it wasn't charged with devising a new formula, it was told to begin laying the groundwork for a new funding mechanism to be based on student outcomes, rather than a cost-driven formula, in line with a 2014 ruling from the Kansas Supreme Court.
Rep. Ron Highland, R-Wamego, offered his own version of a draft report earlier this month. But the panel tabled that document and sent it to the Legislative Research Department for redrafting.
Still, it is widely expected that the final draft will contain many of the same recommendations, including taking a whole new look at the annual state assessments in reading and math; overhauling the way the state provides extra funding for students "at risk" of failing or dropping out; and putting tighter controls on the ability of local school districts to issue bonds, the repayments of which are partially subsidized by the state.
Later in the day, Education Commissioner Randy Watson will give a briefing on the Department of Education's new "vision" for public education in Kansas. Speaking to the House Commerce, Labor and Economic Development Committee, he will likely focus on things that business and industry leaders said were important during a series of town hall meetings last year — namely, more focus on "soft skills" such as work habits, teamwork, communication and interpersonal skills.
Meanwhile, the House Education Budget Committee has scheduled three days of meetings this week, Tuesday through Thursday, although agendas for those meetings were not yet available Monday afternoon.
That panel serves as a kind of subcommittee for the full House Appropriations panel. Its main job is to recommend funding levels for both K-12 and higher education.
KanCare and state hospitals
Officials from Lawrence Memorial Hospital will be back before the KanCare Oversight Committee on Friday, presumably with claims and billing information to support their allegation that the three private companies now in charge of managing the state's Medicaid program have been systematically denying legitimate claims and making the appeals process unnecessarily cumbersome.
LMH lodged those complaints in December, although all three KanCare contractors denied engaging in such practices.
In other health care-related issues, conditions at Osawatomie State Hospital will be the subject of a joint meeting Thursday of the House and Senate health committees where Tim Keck, interim secretary of the Department for Aging and Disability Services, will provide an update.
The psychiatric hospital in Miami County lost its certification to receive Medicare funding last year after auditors from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services cited it for "systemic failure to supervise the provision of care, to perform required safety checks and to protect suicidal patients from hanging risks," which "placed all patients receiving services at risk for harm."
Tuesday marks the start of the second week of the 2016 session, a week that was shortened due to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday on Monday.
Brownback says federal health officials approve KanCare
Gov. Sam Brownback on Friday announced that federal officials have approved a waiver request to implement sweeping changes to the Kansas Medicaid system.
Kansas has already awarded three contracts to managed care organizations to run the Medicaid program, which provides health care coverage to 380,000 poor and disabled residents.
Known as KanCare, the Brownback administration has said the changes will help control care costs and improve care.
The new system will be in effect Jan. 1.
Attempt to delay startup of KanCare fails
In a split vote along party lines, a legislative committee on Thursday rejected pleas from advocates for the elderly and those with disabilities for a delay in implementation of Gov. Sam Brownback's plan to privatize the Medicaid program, which serves nearly 400,000 Kansans.
State Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, sought to delay the proposed Jan.1 startup of KanCare by six months to July 1. "I'm still not convinced that they are ready," Ballard said.
But Republicans on the committee said the state has devoted a lot of time and effort to starting KanCare on Jan. 1 and pushing that back would cause confusion.
"To move that date now would be very inappropriate," said state Rep. David Crum, R-Augusta, who is chairman of the House-Senate Committee on Home and Community Based Services.
Ballard's motion to delay implementation failed 2-3. Joining Ballard was state Rep. Jerry Henry, D-Cummings. Voting against Ballard's motion were Crum, state Sen. Carolyn McGinn, R-Sedgwick, and state Rep. Peggy Mast, R-Emporia.
Under KanCare, the state's current Medicaid system will be switched over to three managed care plans run by private insurance companies. Medicaid is a nearly $3 billion per year state and federally funded program that provides health care to poor and disabled Kansans. The changes must be approved by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services before it can be implemented, and the Brownback administration has been shooting for Jan. 1 approval.
Earlier Thursday, advocates for those with disabilities, children and the elderly said that the switchover in 54 days was too fast.
"We believe such an aggressive timeline, with little oversight, for an untested system will place many of the state's frailest and most vulnerable residents into a long-term managed care program that we believe the state is not ready to operate," said David Wilson, the immediate past president and current lead volunteer for AARP Kansas.
Tom Laing, executive director of InterHab, which advocates for those with disabilities, said "We are deeply concerned over the evident lack of preparations to oversee a program of such magnitude."
But Kari Bruffett, director of the Health Care Finance Division of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said the state was on track.
Bruffett said state officials had "positive and productive meetings with CMS officials" on Oct. 18.
And she said the managed care organizations were ready to deliver Medicaid services.
The Brownback administration has said KanCare will improve health outcomes while saving the state money.

Hadricourt: Bullpen mixup a lowlight in Brewers' loss
Two things I have never seen before - at least I knew what the rule was for number of warmup tosses. But for the rest of the game, the question of whether or not Duke was eligible to come in the game again was the subject of much debate. He clearly entered the field of play, but since he was not forced to pitch to a batter before leaving, was he officially in the game?

This wasn't consistent with last year when the Mariners manager motioned for the wrong guy but the pitcher who came out had to pitch. And the umps getting on the headset to help out Roenicke is crap too.2. CFBF Holds The Door Posted: May 23, 2014 at 11:28 PM (#4712449)
Kudos to Fredi for standing his ground.3. cardsfanboy Posted: May 24, 2014 at 12:54 AM (#4712468)
The rules state that a new pitcher can throw no more than eight pitches after taking the mound. Because Culbreth was informed Smith had not been up in the bullpen, he asked Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez if he would agree to more pitches and Gonzalez said no.
Normally I despise rule lawyers, but have to fully support Fredi on this one. Lack of communication is not really an acceptable excuse for failure to properly warmup.
Indeed. If only the pitcher would have gotten hurt because he didn't get to warm up. That would have showed 'em.5. Walt Davis Posted: May 24, 2014 at 01:39 AM (#4712476)
It's bush. You are putting a guy's livelihood at risk because his manager f'd up. Weak sauce.
Have you looked at the Braves' offense? Letting a pitcher warm up at all is an unfair advantage!6. cardsfanboy Posted: May 24, 2014 at 02:39 AM (#4712485)
Indeed. If only the pitcher would have gotten hurt because he didn't get to warm up. That would have showed 'em.
There were other pitchers warmed up. He wanted the lefty that he messed up warming up. Why not bring in one of the other two pitchers that they had warm up?
Any injury that occured would have been a result of incompetence on the managerial side of the equation. Accept the "lesser" pitcher and move forward.
Wasn't there a story about Satchel Paige entering a situation like that, walking his first batter and then firing pickoff throws until he felt loose?8. Shoeless Swedish Chef Posted: May 24, 2014 at 07:45 AM (#4712498)

The line between ####-up and stratagem is a thin one. I don't see why the Braves shouldn't assume that they were trying to pull a fast one on them.
If the pitcher is uncomfortable, he is free to throw underhand.

The room was very comfortable and spacious. 2 tvs, a section for sitting, and a relaxing sleep area.
We had some initial issues with our reservation which took a long time to straighten out on their end. We were compensated for the inconvenience by upgrading our room. And the bathtubs/showers are kind of small and outdated.

1. The property manager and the front desk staff were incompetents. 2. People off the streets, who were non-renters, came into the hotel and caused a disturbance that required police intervention. 3. Fleas in the bed. 4. The restaurant staff.

This hotel is in serious need of a remodel. It lacks curb appeal and the furniture should have been replaced a very long time ago. The courtyard has flower pots with dead flowers and it really needs to be swept. The mattress on the bed has a stain.

CA Landscape Group Water Conscious | Facility Executive - Creating Intelligent Buildings
The California Landscape Contractors Association has received the WaterSense Label from the U.S. EPA for its Water Management Certification Program.
CA Landscape Group Water Conscious
The California Landscape Contractors Association (CLCA) recently received the WaterSense Label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its Water Management Certification Program.
Previously a WaterSense Program Partner, CLCA's Water Management Certification Program was requested to include an irrigation system auditing component to the certification program in order to receive the WaterSense label. As a result, CLCA's Water Management Certification program now includes irrigation system auditing, which allows individuals to conduct irrigation audits on new landscape projects that fall under California's newly updated Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
Introduced in February 2009, CLCA's Water Management Certification Program helps industry professionals meet the need to reduce landscape water usage by learning to work with advanced irrigation technology and a water budget. In many cases it also saves money, especially for those with tiered water prices.
"We are pleased that WaterSense has recognized the value of our program and that we are now allowed to formally use the WaterSense Label," said Sharon McGuire, executive director of the CLCA. "We believe that water availability is an important issue that impacts us all. Using water management along with responsible ecological choices including sustainable landscaping, grasscycling, fire retardant plant choices, and more, not only saves water, but also helps protect our environment and shape our future. The landscape industry is part of the solution to California's water shortage and changing climate."
Launched in 2006, WaterSense is an EPA-sponsored partnership program that seeks to protect the future of our nation's water supply by promoting water efficiency and enhancing the market for water efficient products, programs, and practices. In order to become a WaterSense irrigation partner, professionals in the industry must first become certified through a WaterSense labeled certification program. This process helps ensure that WaterSense irrigation partners are trained on designing, installing, and maintaining water-efficient irrigation systems.
CLCA's Water Management Certification program offers tests and trainings throughout California, and the group states the program would not be possible without the strong support of Ewing Irrigation Products, Toro Company, Hunter Industries, and Horizon Irrigation.

Southern Thailand's Insurgency Turns Jihadist – irrawaddy.org, January 22, 2013
…The insurgency is now primarily a rebellion legitimized by Islam. Further complicating the nature of the rebellion are deep links to local criminal gangs, especially those centered on drug and people trafficking. Conflict in the Deep South is an extremely profitable business.
Since 2001 and the New York terror attacks, academics and specialists have probed the insurgency in southern Thailand for links to global Islamic terrorism. Nothing has been proven and the accepted wisdom is that there are no links. This view is generally accurate. There has been no grand bargain between local militants and global Islam, although the view does ignore important regional links to Islamic supporters in Malaysia and Indonesia.
However, creeping Islamization is changing the nature of this previously low-level conflict. Eventually, and regardless of the input of global Islam, the current escalation of the conflict is likely to lead to a widening of acceptable targets…

This cooling technology is different than the brand's graphics cards from the rest. Both HD7970 and HD7870 are using GIGABYTE'S new WINDFORCE cooling technology - "Triangle Cool". The exclusive "Triangle Cool" technology is to reach a better cooling performance. The latest patent pending technology combines fin with clip module in a special triangle shape.

Some evacuated residents allowed to return home as crews contain 50% of wildfire
As crews were battling the devastating wildfire Thursday, the frustration of anxious and weary residents who had been out of their homes since Tuesday continued to grow.
"It's been really hard," said Rob Fairbanks, who lives in the Rockport Estates community with his wife. "We've been in the same work clothes since I don't know when."
Fire officials and Summit County sheriff's deputies acknowledged Thursday that emotions among displaced residents were high and they said they understand being evacuated is difficult.
Doing their best to help residents, the Summit County Sheriff's Office escorted a continuous stream of owners back to their homes throughout the day to get necessities. Sgt. Ron Bridge said the office had been flooded with calls.
Originally, Bridge announced the sheriff's office would escort people back into their homes on a case-by-case basis only for those who needed items "necessary to sustain life," such as medication, or pets that needed to be rescued. Extra clothing or laptops for people who work from home who need their electronics to "sustain their livelihood" won't be allowed, he said.
"We have been inundated with calls with people begging and pleading to get into their house to get personal items they feel they need, and we're just not willing to put our deputies at risk or put civilians at risk. It's just not worth the price," he said.
"We're not going to stand by and use our resources for people to pack a bag, to retrieve additional clothes, to grab their computer because it has their work on it. That's not what we're there for," Bridge said.
Yet many still convinced deputies to escort them home for quick visits. On Thursday afternoon, Rutter said officials agreed to escort a young woman back to her house to retrieve her wedding dress.
"Had a request I've never had before. A young lady is getting married Saturday. We were able to get into her structure, it's still there, to recover her wedding dress. So, that was kind of emotional. So we're doing what we can," he said.
Other requests, however, were for items such as insulin and other medication.
The sheriff's office said it would resume escorting residents in Rockport Estates and Ranches to their homes for essentials on Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
As many tried to get back into their homes, community members also rallied for those who were left with nothing.
The North Summit Junior Athletic League was originally going to hold a fundraiser Thursday night to raise money for new uniforms and equipment. Instead, league vice president Sam Rex said the decision was made to have a barbecue and movie night on the football field at North Summit High School in Coalville, and donate all of the proceeds to the family of one of the leagues' 12-year-old players.
"We have a football player named Cayman Rasmussen who lost his home, lost everything he had. So as a league, we decided we'd put all this money toward his family tonight," he said. "IT Wasn't a question at all. We have enough money in our bank account that we decided that 100 percent of the proceeds tonight are going to the family.
"We said, 'You know what? There's more important things this money needs to go to,'" Rex said.
The Rasmussens' house was believed to have been the first one lost on Tuesday. Cayman lives with his mother, Crissy, father Jaron and 8-year-old sister Chole.
"This community has just been an awesome place and the people here are just out of this world. Can't say enough good things about them," said Cayman's mother, Crissy Rasmussen.
Rasmussen said she's mostly doing OK by keeping busy, but "every time someone asks it just brings the emotions all back."

Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, a women's cancer charity that earlier this week announced that it would remove its funding of the abortion giant Planned Parenthood, may be reversing course.
In a statement released today, Komen for the Cure "apologize[d] to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission." It further stated:
We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants, while maintaining the ability of our affiliates to make funding decisions that meet the needs of their communities.
Earlier this week the cancer foundation had pulled its funding for Planned Parenthood because they were under a congressional investigation. However, the statement today provides, "We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political. That is what is right and fair."
Planned Parenthood's president, Cecile Richards, immediately praised the move, stating:
In recent weeks, the treasured relationship between the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation and Planned Parenthood has been challenged, and we are now heartened that we can continue to work in partnership toward our shared commitment to breast health for the most underserved women . . . . We are enormously grateful that the Komen Foundation has clarified its grantmaking criteria, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with Komen partners, leaders and volunteers.
There are reports that this change in criteria means that Komen will honor funding to all 19 Planned Parenthood clinics and will allow them to apply for future funding.
While Komen claims "politics has no place in our grant process," it is exactly political pressure from pro-abortion proponents that led Komen to change their policy. This hypocrisy must be called out. Komen's decision earlier this week to prevent funding from going to an abortion organization under investigation was the right decision, and it is very disappointing that this valuable cancer charity appears to be caving to the abortion industry.
It is unclear under Komen's new funding policy whether Planned Parenthood will qualify for future funding. We will continue to keep you informed as more details about this decision come forward.
This week a satirical video went viral that slammed crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs), claiming they deceived women and were run by con-artists. Major online media outlets praised the vulgar video running headlines including, "Samantha Bee Exposes Just How Terrifying Crisis Pregnancy Centers Are,"
Big abortion is a propaganda machine. It peddles lies and falsehoods at a rate that would make even Stalin blush. For example, Planned Parenthood claims that only 3% of its "services" are abortion – a lie that earned it three Pinocchios from the Washington Post Fact Checker. In reality, upwards of...
We all know that federal funding is never free. There are always strings attached. One would just logically assume that actually abiding by federal laws prohibiting discrimination based on race, gender, or disability would, at the very least, apply to any federal funding. Yet, Planned Parenthood,

Swam w/ Roger, Dave and Dave. Wore my Speedo Aquablade jammer. Pool temp at ~84... comfortable. Challenge today was 8 x 100 on 1:10.
450 Warm up
Challenge set
6 x 50 - :45 (Wore drag suit for this)
8 x 100 - 1:10 (1:07, 1:09, 1:10, 1:09, 1:09, 1:09, 1:08, 1:07)
100 Easy
So, I've made 8! No "banking" time on this one. Of course, its hard to bank time when you touch on 1:09 or 1:10. First 3 were incredibly easy but I was starting to lose time. Picked it up a notch on #4 and held that to the end. Had enough to push a little harder on #8. Should be able to do 9.
4 x 100 - 1:25 (1st 100 fly)
4 x 100 - 1:30 (1st 2 100s fly)
4 x 100 - 1:35 (1st 3 100s fly)
4 x 100 Fly - 1:40
50 Easy
What better way to celebrate your fastest 800 yard swim ever than with 1000 yards of fly! This is actually not quite as hard as it looks. 1st 2 sets of 400 were the worst since I was pretty tired and the interval for making the fly was lower. By the last set, I was recovered and making 1:25 to 1:30 on each of the 100 fly.

I did not sleep very well last night and did some shoveling as drylands this am (we got about an inch of snow overnight), so after feeling beat yesterday I just did some easy IM's today.
Off to work, might try to get in a swim tomorrow before work, then gearing up for a mini meet this weekend in NH. Today I feel like this dude
Got in at 10pm from Disney and went to bed. Woke at 12:30 and laid awake for 2 hours then the alarm woke me at 4:30. Needless to say I did not have time to pull my workout off so I decided to try my new yellow zoomers. It is interesting using these. In some ways they were hard but in some they were not.
5x100@2:00 free pull to kick
4 times thru #1 free, #2 back, #3 fly, #4 breast
...200 kick w/zoomers or br fins
....4x50@1:00 hold 200 pace
400 free w/paddles, bouy and snorkle
Total 2500 yards
A little less than a week before the Kenosha Y irregulars do our postal one-hour. Sunday at 10AM is the plan now.
Yesterday I got in 2000 yards, some breast stroke, kick, pull, slide and glide, but nothing very tough... wanted to make sure I was giving my body a break from the 6000 continuous swim Saturday (mostly freestyle).
Today I got there as my friend Scotty was getting into the pool and he suggested we do a workout together; perfect, I wasn't really set on what I wanted to do today (except that I wanted to do 3000). We ended up pushing each other in ways that we probably wouldn't have pushed if we were swimming solo. I got him to do about 500 more than he originally planned and he got me to swim a lot faster than I planned. After our 500-yard warm-up I hit five 200s between 2:57 and 3:01 (the 3:01 was the only one at 3:00 or slower)... I initially thought I would stick to around 3:12 (:48 pace per 50). He was coming in around 2:45.
We did some 100s and some 50s (I ended up hitting :36 on the 50 mark during one of my 100s, which is flying by my standards.... but I couldn't hold it; finished in 1:21-1:22). We finished up with a nice hard 500 (I came in at 7:55) I took off on the top and Scotty on the bottom, so I had a :30 head start--he didn't catch me until about the 400 mark--which really pushed us both to swim faster than we otherwise would have. Nothing like a good cat and mouse game.
I'm so used to training solo ("loneliness of the long distance runner" and all that) and being alone with nothing but my own thoughts, my own discipline, to keep me going... this was a nice change of pace! Someone else pushing me for a change!
GTD still has me at #8 for men 40-44; I know I can't hold off the mega-mileage monsters all year, so I'm going to bask in it while I can ... yeayuh!
AND, this is blog entry #30, since I started doing this last month... Wow, time flies when you're havin' fun!

Did the hour swim tonight: 3150 yds. Felt way, way better than last year. Apart from a couple of foot cramps, I completed the event pain-free, which is a first for me. I put in a lot of prep for this event, including a 2500 last week, and I felt like it really paid off. Now it's time to .
Solo at Rec (scy)
Decided to swim over in the Animal Lane today to do a modified version of [ame="http://forums.usms.org/showthread.php?p=258510"]Workout #1 = Broken 1500 Test Set[/ame]. I soon went from feeling like Axl Rose to either Timone or Pumba - take your pick (although my profile is more like Pumba).
100 Free/200 RIM D/K
4 x 75 Indiana IM's (no FR) on 1:20
4 x 50 FR Pull with Buoy on :45
Main set:
Two times through:
4 x 150 Free on 2:00 (goal time 1:45)
1 x 150 Back on 2:00
1 x "Master minute"
6 x 50 RIMO on :45
1 x 200 IM Kick (no board) on 3:40
5 deep water bobs
1 x 100 IM for time (went 1:10.54)
200 w/d various and out
(3200 yds, 55 min)
I might have to rethink the whole "do a pwb workout after being out of the pool for three days" that I have done the last couple of weeks. My shoulders were acting up and I needed to alter the main set by adding in the Backstrokes, which I did not swim particularly fast (but I did work on at least 4 SDK's off the walls).
- 1st 5: 1:38, :39, :40, :42, 2:00
- 2nd 5: 1:41, :42, :45, :43, 1:54
The good thing was I was went faster than my goal time on all but one, but perhaps if I had started a tad easier I could have done them without the extra rest. I got to #4, thought I need me some backstroke and a break!
The second part of that main set called for 6 x 50 active recovery, but I just attempted to make interval and resorted to some backstroke and fly (25 drill, 25 swim). I pared down the kicking and added a 100 IM (96 to go for the year, Tim!) - I'll do more kicking tomorrow before work.
The [ame="http://forums.usms.org/showthread.php?t=20028"]Harvard info[/ame] came out with registrations opening on 1/21 - up 50 swimmers to a limit of 900 this year. They change up the order of events every year, but I was bummed to see Friday's lineup - 100 Fly, 50 Fr, 200 Bk, 100 IM. I was hoping to swim all those events (plus 100/200 FR, 50/100 Bk, 50 Fly, and maybe the 500 FR or 200 IM), but there is no way that I can be ready for the 200 Bk third in the hit parade, or the IM after that! All on the first day!
Oh well, looks like the 200 Fly is out for this spring - but I plan to do the 400IM at Valentines (keeping to my word). It is tough to find the 200 Fly around these parts (I am not complaining because it buys me more time to train for it).
I have also started to take seriously trying to lose some more weight. I am down 10 pounds since this time last year, but would like to get out of the "overweight" section of the bmi. I started using an app for tracking my calories and exercise on my phone, because it really makes me think more about what I am munching on.

I was completely wiped out after yesterday's workout so I did a modified version of Leslie's [ame="http://forums.usms.org/showthread.php?t=20026"]recovery[/ame] workout of the week today. I am happy I did, both because I felt much better after the workout and because my times on the (very relaxed) DPS 100s were a surprise and a reminder of how critical technique is. I guess it is also a reminder that I haven't worked with a coach in more than 30 years

Todays workout was a belated celebration of Hannahs birthday. We enjoyed having our own side-by-side LCM lanes at the PCB aquatic center for the following swim:
10x thru:
100 IM piece (50 FL + 50 BK)
100 IM piece (50 BK + 50 BR)
Rounds 1-2 are warmup (drills for stroke if desired)
Rounds 3, 5, 7, and 9 are fast FR, easy ST
Rounds 4 and 8 are easy FR, fast ST
Round 6 is kick
Round 10 is warmdown
It was a fun set, and a good one to have a similarly paced workout buddy to swim with. I managed to complete everything except the kickI missed 200 of that, for a 4800 lcm workout. We celebrated with a post-swim breakfast at the nearby Waffle House. It was packed at 9:30 this morningI think we got the last two places at the counter!
This was the first of two belated birthday workouts on my agendaIll do my own soon, once I can manage more than a 50 fly at once.
I was sad to see my NYC friends leave today--my one frustration with being down here where there are so many great places to swim is that I have to import swim buddies to enjoy them with me! But Im going back to the city soon myself. Im going to relish these last few days of outdoor swimming before heading back up to real winter.
Warm up:
650 various
8 x 50 fly drills
odds = caterpillar @ 1:05
evens = single arm @ :55
Aerobic/Hypoxic Sets:
10 x 25 shooters on back w/MF @ :35
5 x broken 100 w/MF @ 2:00
-- 4 x 25 shooters on back
-- break at each 25 for :5
10 x 25 360 twirling shooters w/MF @ :35
8 x 50 free w/paddles @ :50
8 x 50 breast w/fins
odds = DPS, focus on head position
evens = long pullouts
8 x 50 free w/paddles @ :50
Total: 3300
Had thought about doing a speed workout today. But the pool was crowded (holiday) and I was whooped from yesterday's double. I think heated power vinyassa is harder than bikram. And my shoulders were a bit sore, perhaps from all the down dogs and planks. I actually iced my shoulders last night for the first time in ages.
I'm definitely enjoying my weekend off with only Teen Fort around. Out to dinner with a couple old friends tonight.
Workout nutrition:
Three rounds. Round 1 intervals left, 2&3 right.
6 X 50 kick 1:10
8 X 25 sprint kick :40
1 x 100 swim
Two rounds, all choice.
Short break between rounds.
All odd swims are moderate.
All even swims are fast.
1 X 100 fast 2:15

Four rounds.
100 is choice. 150 should be free.
WARM DOWN: 4 X 50 easy 1:00

Today was another two-swimsuit day. This morning I swam with Janet and Hannah in the gulfHannah and I swam ½ mile to the east, then back, all well beyond the first sand bar. The water was 58 degrees, air temp in the low 50s, but the sun was strong and there was little wind. The water was a little cloudy, but it was a delicious green, especially in the shallower parts, and I could see the sandy bottom from time to time. Janet said that a pelican flew right behind us for a while before it lost interestI never saw it. There was also a flock of diving ducks floating in the water that we swam past as we went in. Afterwards warming up we picnicked on the beacha great way to celebrate a glorious morning.
This afternoon we went over to the PCB aquatic center for a quick swim. Janet designed the workout, which I liked a lot. I stopped a little early because I was feeling sore in my ribssometimes I forget and do my flipturns a little too hard still. Heres how it went:
800 scy warmup [I did 700]
4 x 100 FR/BK by 25s
4x through, ST = IM order
400 swim, done as 2 x (175 FR + 25 ST)
50 ST kick
50 ST drill
50 ST build
50 ST fast
[I made it though 3.5 of the rounds before warming down.]
4 x 100 something
The pool was greatthe air temp had warmed up to the 60s, and there were a few clouds in the sky to keep things interesting. During warmup I spotted a big group of buzzards circling around something west of the poolthere must have been about 20 of them.
RC and ankle exercises
wide grip lat pulldowns, 60 x 3 x 20
overhead squats, 45 x 2 x 10
lower back machine, 120 x 3 x 15
total ab machine, 120 x 1 x 15, 140 x 2 x 8
leg extensions, 110 x 4 x 6
box jumps, 20
knee tuck jumps, 2 x 10
captains chair leg raises, 3 x 20
Power Vinyassa Yoga, 90 Minutes:
I went to Down Dog in Bethesda with a friend today to check out their hot vinyassa flow class. http://downdogyoga.com/. They offer a week free, which was nice; I'll probably go again this week. Like bikram, it's 90 minutes and hot. But 95 degrees hot, not 105-110 degrees hot. Huge difference! I wasn't sure I'd like a flow class, but I did quite a bit. It's drastically different than bikram because you're almost constantly moving and the poses are different. But I still rocked crow pose! Maybe a mix of both is best to keep it interesting for me. I went right after the gym. I'm not sure that was the best idea as I felt like I was lunging my ass off for the first hour. It seemed like great core work. Pretty tired after that double. But it's all good.
Hilarious moment. Last night I was at the movies with a friend (watching Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy). My friend ordered junior mints and was asked if he wanted them chilled or room temp. Really?

10 x 50 breast on 1:00
200 easy
* 5100 total *
I felt really strong for the first part of the main set, but early in the second set of 100s I started feeling twinges on my calves and feet and got a strong cramp on the last lap of the last 100. I was able to stretch and massage it away so the first three 200s were fine, but both calves and one foot cramped up on the first 200 of the second set so I stopped to deal with it and only swam 100. I had small cramps on the rest of the 200s, but not bad enough that I had to stop.
It is disappointing that I didn't make it through the workout, again, but I guess I am able to make it much farther before the cramps set in.

Thanks to Kirk Nelson for hooking me up with the Husky Masters team at the Univ. of Washington for a good workout with a great masters team.
NO THANKS to Kirk Nelson for failing to mention that Sunday is "Kick The Visiting Master's Swimmer's @ss Distance Day"!!!
I missed the warmup period since I had a hell of a time trying to find the pool on the UW campus, and luckily I had a cell phone contact to guide me to the pool, even though I was at the wrong pool!! There are two pools there separated by another building between, so I was close, but no cigar!!
Warmup (for me):
100 Free - while the coach was explaining the workout for the team.
Main Set (continuous - which sucked!!)
4 x 225 Free @ Desc. Interval (2:55, 2:50, 2:45, 2:40)
(went 2:35 on first down to 2:28 on fourth one )
This is when I found out the workout was on interval the entire way!! YIKES!!
1 x 300 Free Pull @ 4:15 (3:28)
5 x 200 Free @ 2:35 (went 2:15-2:20)
1 x 300 Free Pull @ 4:15 (3:22)
I was feeling great here, but I was also nearing the end of my "traditional yardage" for a workout, and my body was ready for a crash.
6 x 175 Free @ 2:20 (Did 50 Fly/125 Free) came in around 2:05-2:10s on these, but this was my self imposed finishing move.
1 x 300 Free Pull @ 4:15 (3:45) <-- See I'm toast!
7 x 150 Free @ 2:10
goal of the set was to hit your best ever 200 Free times (from college times, USA, or whatever)
My best time was a 1:41, which is doable for me on repeat 150s, but not today at this point in the set.
I did 2 of the 150s (1:44 & 1:47), and switched to 5 x 100 Kick w/ board @ 2:10
150 EZ and out
5000 Yards
I still hurt.
I've also been invited back to swim with the team as long as I'm here with my son at his stay here at Children's Hospital. This was very nice of them. I don't think I'll be able to make another swim with them since I'll more than likely be outta here in the near future. My son is doing well, just have to still monitor his seizures and pray that the medicine does what it's supposed to.
For now...GO PACKERS!!!
GTD is telling me I'm back in the top ten for men 40-44 this morning, thanks to the 6000-yard continuous swim I did yesterday. It was my first 6000 since early November. But, there's always a price to pay! The first 4000 felt pretty good (a little under 72 minutes), but the final 1000 was really rough (I had to mix in 300 yards worth of breaststroke over the course of the last K just to keep moving). Finished the entire swim in 1:51:?0.
The left shoulder started off pretty stiff, but loosened up over the course of the swim. In the last 1000-1500 everything was stiff.
Drank some "Joint Juice" last night and I woke up this morning actually feeling pretty good (tired and tight, but that's to be expected). I'll do a short recovery swim today to try to loosen up.
For now, I'm sitting in a sunny window and enjoying the sunlight for the first time in a few days; ok, we've had snow now, I'm ready for spring.
Someone correct me if I am wrong. I think that was my time. What a shocker!!!
Well, I am sorry to report that it was a jaw dropping I-am-utterly-flabbergasted-I-swam-that-slow-time!
I simply overswam and paid dearly on the back half! This is the issue I have been having with "spinning my wheels" and not setting up and grabbing water. Then you are stuck. Just stuck with that rhythym. I think it was even more magnified because I was so excited at the start. For once, I felt really good and simply tried to hard. I was over 1/2 body length ahead of the girl next to me at the 25, but it was over there. I barely touched her out at the end. Anyway, I was completely frozen at the end!
The SMU coach and Martina said I looked really bad the whole way on all fronts - I struggled and fought the water, was really low, gimpy left arm, and spinning too fast and not holding water, thus totally tight at the end. They suggested I slow it down and i'd go faster.
So, I am going to use this as a big wake up call that my Spinning Out problem hasn't been un-imprinted, and that perhaps more magnified when I get excited and not just a mild problem, which it seems to be at the ho-hum local meets. The next data-point meet will be SCY in 3 weeks, a local USA meet at a decent pool. I am going to work on really slowing down the rhythym, holding the water (and thus not spinning and hopefully not sinking/low in the water), and seeing if that translates to faster speed in the critical back end.
I would not say it was a waste of time, simply very disappointing since I know I am capable of going faster (and recall I went 28.3 and 28.1 in workout when I wasn't trying as hard!!). Two huge techical errors - the spinning wheels and then the simply unacceptable 28.5! So, a good wake up call to work on slowing it down.
Next week: easy swims.
Weeks 2 and 3: start weights/drylands again and back to the 2 per week sprint workouts
Third weekend - another 50 free, SCY.
I got to try a new Speedo full-back suit! They measured me at 24L but I found it too tight to get on, so I got a new 25L and that was the size I would get.
It is much thicker material and feels like polyester. The bottom is about the same to get on; nothing new about that. The middle is not very compressing, not even like the current kneeskin racerbacks. And drumroll.....the strap part! YOu really do need 2 people to get it on. It simply cannot be done by yourself. And you are really scraping your head/hair to get it over. But, once you do, the top part of the suit isn't very tight at all. But it doesn't catch water, either, which you would think it might.
I was skeptical of the color, thinking only a black suit will make you look slender. But surprisingly, I looked as slim in this as the al black kneeskins. The entire bottom/butt area material feels really thick.
In the water: Again, it doesn't catch water. It does seem to have extra compression and "push" in the legs - something that the other kneeskins don't have. They are just thin material. But the turns are REALLY annoying. It's very distracting and hard to turn all that material. I don't feel more or less bouyant overall, and I don't feel any significant benefit from the full back element. There is not much waist/core compression other than below the waist.
Bottom Line: I am glad I did not order this suit. I am not sure I want to buy it. It has nice legs, but they are thick, hard to turn, and feel like scratchy polyester. Without a huge WOW factor for the full back, the entire strap-over-the-head ordeal - i'm not sure it is worth it. I may try to the racerback that came back to Dallas with one of the coaches.......
I saw lots of famous swimmers in person! That was mildly interesting but I was taking notes for chowsh who is wowed by who I stood by, chit chatted with, and the like. But mostly, everyone was either bigger or smaller than they looked like on tv.
Nathan Adrian
Matt Grevers
Natalie Coughlin
Dana Vollmer
Ryan Lochte.
or at least, they seemed bigger or smaller based on my preconceptions.

Azerbaijani conductor performs in Beijing
30 January 2014 [12:55] -
Azerbaijani People's Artist Prof. Yalchin Adigezalov performed with great success in Beijing's famous concert hall.
Led by Adigezalov, China National Symphony Orchestra performed music by legendary composers such as Uzeyir Hajibeyli, Gara Garayev, Fikret Amirov, Niyazi, and Sultan Hajibekov, concert organizers told Trend Agency.
The event brought together prominent public figures, representatives of culture and art, and diplomatic missions.
Opening the event, Azerbaijan's Ambassador to China Latif Gandilov emphasized the importance of the project for the development of cultural dialogue between the two countries.
The evening was opened with the overture to the opera "Koroglu" by Uzeyir Hajibeyli, in which Chinese musicians used their national instruments, erhu and pipa, instead of Azerbaijani musical instruments. Then, drawing a long applause from the audience, a suite from the "Seven Beauties" ballet by Gara Garayev and"Nasimi" and "Caravan" by Hajibekov were performed. Soloist of the Azerbaijan State Musical Theatre, honored actress Nargiz Kerimova brilliantly performed "Arzu" romance by Niyazi and arias from operas by Hajibayli and Amirov.
After the event Yalcin Adigezalov was awarded a certificate, which elected him as a principal guest conductor of the China National Symphony Orchestra.
Adigezalov is a representative of the third generation of Azerbaijan's famous musical dynasty. He has directed symphony orchestras at opera and ballet houses in Turkey and Russia, and participated in Salzburg Festival in Austria.
He was the music director and conductor of Alexander Borodin's Prince Igor staged by Dmitry Bertman2003, a performance that opened the International Opera Festival in Aspendos, Turkey.
Maestro Adigezalov has performed with prominent soloists, including Mstislav Rostropovich, Nikolay Petrov, Sergey Stadler, Ivan Monigetti, Boris Berezovsky, Dmitry Kogan, and many others. He has also released eleven records in the USA, Turkey, and Britain.
Along with the Azerbaijan State Symphony Orchestra and the Bolshoi Symphony Orchestra, Adigezalov has recorded eight CDs in USA, Russia, Britain, and Turkey.

Who the fuck cares about your cultural values and how you think …

Comment on AKB48's Yuka Masuda Quits Over Sex Scandal by Anonymous:
Who the fuck cares about your cultural values and how you think your way of thinking is the right way.
Japan have their cultures and you have yours, get off this site since you seem to not be able to stand Japan's culture.
Japan have a history of only Yakuza and people in the underground business get tatoos.
And anybody who is weak minded that need to rely on a tatoo to keep them sane and on track, or not being able tell that a tatoo is some meaning less act of impulse and will stay with them the rest of their lives, should not be in charge of handling other citizen's lives, cuz they can't even get their own lives straight.
Idol is a profession. If you have singing abilities you are a singer. If you have acting abilities you are an actress. Idol have the looks but the rest is not professional enough to be called a singer nor actor nor whatever. Idol is a profession to sell an image of purity, so yes you are not allowed to date or have sex. You are not supposed to let people find out, it is part of your job description that you are selling a dream and phantasy to the otakus who have awkward time with women.
Either way, they are just being professional about their jobs.
You don't live in Japan so it doesn't affect you anyway. They are a successful country that they are now because of their general culture of professionalism about everything. Japan is not forcing you to like their country anyway. So just get off the site if you don't like it.

07:27 > Implies they are adults when thy join > has no idea how grooming works I also find your news person analogy hilarious. Hilariously bad, that is. On the one hand, being recruited into a job where you're required to behave unnatural and having to quit because you ended up behaving natural after all. On the other, entering a completely normal job and having to quit because you did something unethical. DOES NOT COMPARE Also, as others said, for a girl as actually talented as her it's …

Children's Literature - Ken Marantz and Sylvia MarantzOld Abe, the eagle hero of the Civil War, began life as an eaglet rescued by an American Indian in Wisconsin and traded to farmer Dan McCann. When the war begins, McCann cannot fight because he has a bad leg, so he sends his eagle instead. Wisconsin soldiers name him Old Abe and make him their mascot. Almost grown, Old Abe weighs eight pounds, but his wings spread seven feet. The Southern soldiers hate Old Abe because he inspires his Northern friends, but they cannot capture him. A bullet does graze him and he is cut from his perch, but he flies away to safety. He soon becomes famous. Despite being a trickster, he is loved by his fellow soldiers. He participates in many famous battles; he even helps capture a Southern camp. He has a fine retirement, never forgetting his soldier friends. Lee's scenes are painted in muted, light-hearted watercolors while an inked line creates character and action. Old Abe is the most important character, but we also see the battlefields, the camps, and even the "big fair in Chicago." The factual story is told directly; additional facts about eagles are included. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz

Editorial Reviews
Kirkus ReviewsWhat better mascot for an army unit than America's national bird? The author's great-grandfather commanded Company C of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War, better known as the "Eagle Company" after they adopted a young bald eagle. Named Old Abe after the president, the eagle was carried on a perch into the front ranks of 25 major battles. Astonishingly, he was never seriously injured; he became famous and after the war lived in special rooms in the Wisconsin Capitol Building. Young's text was first published with different illustrations in 1965. His storytelling has aged surprisingly well, though teachers, librarians and thorough-minded students will miss the hallmarks of modern nonfiction: bibliography, archival material and specific historical references. The encyclopedic endnote on bald eagles in general adds little. Lee makes her illustration debut with orange- and indigo-hued watercolors that evoke the sepia photographs of the Civil War era while retaining a modern sensibility. She's unafaid of simplicity and blank space, effectively establishing setting and mood with a minimum of fuss, and looks to have a strong future. (Picture book. 5-10)

Any feedback would be most welcome
Customer has BT powerline adapters so that TV can be watched in all rooms using an adapter and an ethernet cable (this is new to me!)
He had a couple of sockets added to a ring final and since then (he claims) he's been unable to get a TV picture in one room where he used to (not the room the sockets where added) Its fine everywhere else but this one room. BT came and inspected everything, shrugged their shoulders and told him to get an electrician.
The sockets in the room referred to are live so I don't really know what to look for. The property is less then 10 years old and at first glance everything is in very good order.
Any direction on how I should proceed with this would be most welcome
02 February 2013 05:55 PM
There numerous devices on the market that do this, I have one from Develo. They are not 100% reliable and can be a pain to setup.
I am surprised to hear BT are involved.
He may need re-pair the devices, I would start by trying to get the devices to work next to each other i.e. plug both of them into the same double socket, this will prove if the devices are working and if he needs the services of an Computer guru or electrician.
02 February 2013 11:05 PM
BT regularly supply these ethernet-over-mains adaptors as part of the BT Vision system.
Does "unable to get a TV picture" mean
a) One TV can't pick up a normal TV signal any more, or
b) There's one place in the house where the BT Vision system doesn't work?
If it's (a), then it could be the interference injected into the mains by the adaptors causing the problem. These units aren't popular with ham radio enthusiasts because of the broad-spectrum signal they send through the house wiring. Much of this can leak out into the surrounding space.
If it's (b) then the sockets are probably on different rings. The signal strength, and hence the speed attainable through the adaptors, depends greatly on how the house is wired. If they are on different consumer units, or different phases, then there's little chance of it working.

Thanks for the feedback. Its b). However before the ring was extended he claims it worked fine. The ring that was extended was in another part of the house and was to two new socket outlets, adding about 5m to the circuit length. I don't believe that can have anything to do with it, but the customer seems to think it could be. I'm at a loss to know where to start
03 February 2013 02:49 PM
can you disconnect the extension and see if it starts working again. that might rule out the BT units.
03 February 2013 04:55 PM
Has ring continuity been checked since the sockets were added?
04 February 2013 07:15 PM
Some of the manufacturers claim that the HomePlugs don't work too well with extension leads. Surge protected extension sockets are also known to cause a problem too. They advise plugging them directly into the socket on the wall. Are the two HomePlugs connected to circuits on the same RCD (RCCB)?
M.I.E.T - Forfeited this due to The I.E.T's ridiculous membership rules!
