>General Running>Daniels Marathon Training Question
I am zeroing in on one of the plans from Daniels Running Formula for my next marathon. There is a lot of talk about Pfitz and Hansons on here, but I haven't seen as much experience with the Daniels plans. Hopefully there is someone here who can answer a question for me.
I have read the book, but I can't figure out if the mileage goals for a workout include the warm up/down and recovery intervals in the mileage limits.
For example, the 3rd week has a workout like:
sets of 1000m, 1200m, or miles @ I pace, with 3-5 min recovery jogs to total the lesser of 6% weekly mileage and 8k
Does the 6%/8k limit include the recovery jogs? Or just the work sections?
What about this one:
2 miles E pace + Sets of 5 min hard with 3-5 min recovery jogs to total 10k or 8% weekly mileage, whichever is less.
Is the 2 miles Easy included in the 10k/8% limit?
Nashville, TN
The book is on my desk at the office at the moment, so I can't check it, but my guess would be based on my understanding of Daniels is that the volume goals for the quality work do NOT include the recovery intervals nor warmup/cooldowns. His whole philosophy is built on spending X time in Y zone (T, I, R) so it would seem to me that when he says your 1000 intervals should add up to 6% of weekly mileage (or whatever), he means the actual quality work itself. Does that help?
- Joe
We are fragile creatures on collision with our judgment day.
That makes sense. I will go with that!
Letting off steam
Correct -- the time at speed is constrained to those limits.
Daniels suggest you chose a peak mileage you want to run. The easy miles / recovery distances still count in your total miles for the week, for measuring against the recommended percentages of peak week.
jaxn, just to be 100% sure this morning I asked Jack about this and he confirmed the answer I gave you.
Do you have Jack on speed dial now?
One day my son brought home copies of the VDOT tables from the Daniels' book given to him by his HS coach. My son chuckles because the coach keeps referring to him as Charlie Daniels.
My daughter's high school coach used the VDOT tables but, strangely enough, had the runners doing their workouts several levels above what the tables called for. I never could figure that one out.
Not speed dial, but a fortuitous crossing of paths. Let me know right away if you have any burning questions you've always wanted to ask but haven't been able to. Gem of a fellow, by the way.
MTA: Charlie Daniels, Jack Daniels, whatever it takes!
That's crazy, but probably typical for many HS coaches. .
My son's coach seems to go by the tables for the hard stuff (as a guideline), and unfortunately when it comes to the easy days, that EZ pace seems to be thrown out the window. He just tells people to "keep up" with the faster ones.
@Joe... would be pretty cool to cross paths with someone like him. I had the chance to see Dick Beardsly speak last month. That was pretty cool.

Following reports that Birmingham City Council's automated phone system is unable to recognise Birmingham accents, Chrissie Maher, our founder commented:-
"The millions of pounds which goes into building these systems is just stupid.
Anyone calling a rent arrears department will be anxious and upset anyway but to then have their voice not recognised because of their accent is awful.
The Brummie accent is instantly recognisable and should be celebrated. You can bet the people who developed these systems are posh or from London."

Gaffe-happy Mitt's a (mealy-mouthed) winner

He's about to discover whether or not months on the campaign trail have paid off. Regardless of the outcome, Mitt Romney's a way-out-in-front winner with us at Plain English Campaign as the only feasible candidate for our Foot in Mouth award.
Throughout 2012 Romney has managed to provide, with what might seem a keen satirist's eye, potentially damaging gaffes on an alarmingly regular basis. And, following a faux-pas happy line of US politicians, always seems to have a steady stream of gibberish ready for the next particularly unsuitable opportunity.

DOG owners are being urged to keep their pets on leads by Malvern Hills Conservators to protect the rare skylark.
The famous songbird is vulnerable during the nesting season from March to July, as it lays it eggs in small hollows in long grass, and can be easily disturbed or trampled by walkers and dogs.
The bird's numbers have declined across the country because of habitat loss, making Malvern's hills and commons an important nesting location
Beck Baker, the deputy conservation officer, said: "The sound of the skylark's beautiful song once filled the spring air above the hills and commons, but now there are only a handful of birds nesting here. The Conservators will be working to raise awareness in the hope of encouraging more birds to breed here.
"This spring, the Conservators urge dog walkers to keep their pets under control at all times, keep to paths and if you see a disturbed or stressed bird, move away quickly to allow it to return to its nest.
"Even if your dog means no harm, the adult birds will see the dog as a threat and could abandon its nest. If the adults are away for too long, the eggs or chicks may get too cold and die."
The Conservators will be erecting signs to alert walkers, and are also reminding them not to let their dogs chase sheep, especially during the lambing season.
New signs on gates of the grazing areas highlight the importance of keeping your dog under control, and Conservators also advise owners to train their pets to ignore livestock anmd insure them against the costs of vet bills if they attack sheep.
The weekly Stockwatch in the Malvern Gazette's listings pages gives upi-to-date information about where stock is grazing.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/10/2013 (1402 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Manitoba — How fast things change on the sheet: on Saturday night, Brock Virtue and his rink were one win away from a playoff berth in the Prairie Classic, and dodging jokes of "giant killer" after pushing past Team Brad Jacobs and Team Glenn Howard en route to a three-win start.
After Sunday morning, the Saskatchewan skip was getting ready to battle to stay in the competition, after dropping two in a row. Virtue lost a Saturday night draw against Manitoba's two-time Prairie Classic champions, Team Mike McEwen, to pull a Section B game against Toronto's Team Mike Kean on Sunday morning. Although Virtue came back from a deficit to tie the game in the eighth end, the squad couldn't steal the hammer from Kean in the extra time to take the game.
Now, Virtue will face Stonewall skip Jared Kolomaya on Sunday afternoon to stay in contention.
Elsewhere around the Prairie Classic's 10 a.m. draw on Sunday, Manitoba veteran Jeff Stoughton survived an elimination challenge from China's Team Rui Liu. Stoughton dropped down to the danger zone after losing to Brier champion Brad Jacobs on Saturday night. He will now face Winnipeg's Team Richard Daneault on Sunday evening.
Eliminated from competition after the 10 a.m. draw were Team Liu, Winnipeg's Team Steen Sigurdson, who lost their Section C match against reigning world champion Niklas Edin, Brandon's Team Rob Fowler and Winnipeg's Team Jack McDonald.
Meanwhile, already with playoff berths after wins on Saturday night are Team Kevin Koe, last year's Prairie Classic champions, and the McEwen rink.
The Prairie Classic continues with four elimination games at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. Two more elimination games are slated for 5 p.m., as well as the two Section B finals. The third day of competition wraps up with four more elimination battles at 8:30 p.m.
The seven championship playoff games are slated for Monday at Portage Curling Club.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/12/2013 (1342 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
With all due respect to the spirit of Christmas — the giving, the receiving and all that good cheer — the Winnipeg Jets entered their last home game before the holiday with one main thought in mind:
'Tis the season to be ornery.
A spirited Jets squad, perhaps fearful of watching their playoff dream all but fade before the turn of the calendar, served up a dandy in a 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers tonight in front of a festive full house at the MTS Centre.
The result brought the Jets back to .500 at 16-16-5, but also ended a six-game (0-3-3) home dry spell that had stretched back to a shootout win over the Philadelphia Flyers Nov. 15.
"Our group was kinda chomping at the bit to get going," said Jets winger Blake Wheeler. "Any time you have a tough game like we did in Buffalo (a 4-2 loss on Tuesday) and you take a couple days to stew over it... sometimes you're almost foaming at the mouth to get back out there. Our group was ready and excited to play tonight and have the opportunity to get the bad taste out of our mouth."
"It's unacceptable, this losing at home," added goaltender Ondrej Pavelec. "It's great for the fans that we won tonight. But we go the road now with two more games before Christmas (Sunday in Vancouver, Monday in Edmonton) and we need every game."
The Panthers rolled into Winnipeg — albeit with a 3 a.m. arrival — following Thursday night's win over Ottawa, their fifth straight that also included victories over Montreal and Toronto. The win in our capital had the organization beaming — it was their longest win streak since March of 2012 — prompting this friendly jab courtesy the team's Twitter account:
'#FlaPanthers fans doing some cleaning this AM may want to leave the brooms out to cheer on the Cats tonight as they try to sweep Canada 4-0!'
But while the Panthers opened the scoring — an against-the-flow marker by Shawn Matthias after a turnover by Dustin Byfuglien — the Jets held period leads of 3-1 and 5-2 and the turnaround was sparked by the power play, which scored twice 33 seconds apart to give the home side a two-goal cushion.
"That's how it's supposed to be," said Toby Enstrom. "We got a couple power plays at the beginning and scored some goals. It put us ahead in the game and it's important for us."
Winnipeg's work with the man advantage has been dramatic in the six games with seven power-play markers to pull them out of 30th overall in the NHL.
One of the positive sidebars to tonight's win was the solid work by goaltender Ondrej Pavelec — and it's a one-game trend the Jets need to turn into many, many more. Winless in his five previous starts (0-4-1) with an icky .850 save percentage, he got a huge public pat on the back from Claude Noel before the game, who made it clear Pavelec was their No. 1 puck-stopper, even with the solid work of Al Montoya, especially in the last few weeks.
"I wanted to win tonight just like everybody else," said Pavelec, who stopped 21 of the 23 shots he faced and got a couple of breaks with shots clanging off goalposts. "I don't know how many points they hit the posts this year... it's been good. Today, two posts or three... the bounces were on my side. We needed a little bit of luck to win the game."
The Jets activated workhorse defenceman Zach Bogosian from the injured list and, paired with Enstrom, he gave the Jets some solid work with 17:44 in ice time, three hits, a blocked shot and an assist on Wheeler's 12th of the season.
"I felt good," said Bogosian. "It was a bit of a weird game with a lot of whistles, a lot of sitting around, a lot of penalties. But it felt good to be back and I didn't have any setbacks, so it was good."
"Zach had a pretty good game, fairly solid," said Claude Noel. "Some areas he was a little bit rusty but that's OK. I thought he matched up well with Toby."
The Jets' rising stars — rookies Mark Scheifle (two assists), Jacob Trouba (goal, assist) and Evander Kane (goal, assist) — were among the club's best. Scheifele now has points in five straight games (3 goals, 4 assists) and has moved into the NHL leaders for rookie scoring.
"Mark has grown like we anticipated," said Noel. "People were criticizing that he's not ready, it's too much and this and that. It just goes to show you there is a process and you have to be patient."

Mousebeard's Revenge Cover
May 8, 2009 by Alex
Filed under sketchbook
It's a funny old thing making an illustration for a cover. I've been working on the one for the final Mousehunter book, illustrating a really fun scene from quite early on in the story. The nice part of it is that it's the same scene I read out at the Crystal Palace Festival, so it's fresh and alive in my brain.
Translating it into an image has been a bit of a blast. There are huge flying mice, with Emiline and Scratcher holding onto them for dear life as they leap out of a window. And of course, way down below is Old Town. It's great to have Old Town there, as on the previous cover it was just a bit of deck. (There is the port on the new Mousehunter cover, but that's not available just yet.)
I imagine many writers have ideas for how their covers should look and I imagine many are frustrated by the outcome. But I'm so lucky to get the opportunity to influence them so much. I guess it's a big responsibility, but hey, I'm always up for a challenge.
I watched Inkheart at the weekend, and there are a few lovely scenes when the writer of the book (a fabulous Jim Broadbent) gets so excited about seeing his creations come to life that he forgets that the baddies he made up are in fact very dangerous.
Well, this cover has felt a bit like that for me. It really feels like I've recreated my world in picture form and, it also has Scratcher on it.
So here's a preliminary drawing for the cover, of Emiline and the massive Beachcomber Mouse. I'll post the finished thing when I can!

The Serian alphabet was created by Ross Jallo, and is partly based on the Arabic, Mongolian and Manchu scripts and also on a script which appears in Gulliver's Travels.
Serian, a language invented by Ross Jallo and inspired by Quenya and Sindarin with vocabulary from Gothic, Welsh, Latin, Spanish, Finnish and German.
The diacritics are shown with a special 'place-holder' symbol which has no phonetic value but merely 'carries' a vowel when the vowel is at the beginning of a word, or (rarely) right after another vowel.
Shown are the five kinds of stops in Serian attached to the letter Pa. The first four are used much as periods, question marks, and exclamation points in English. The fifth is a 'stronger' mark, used in poetry to denote ends of stanzas, in books to show chapter ends, and placed at the ends of all documents.
The information and images on this page were provided by Ross Jallo (email@example.com).

A Joint Statement on the Ongoing Situation in Turkey:
You can donate to a fund ISPP has established to help support Turkish Scholars: HERE.
As professional associations of social scientists in various disciplines, some of which have members in Turkey, the organizations listed below are deeply concerned about recent reports of infringements of academic freedom in Turkey, in particular in the aftermath of the recent attempt at a coup d'état. These reports refer, amongst other things, to the dismissal of over 1500 university deans and professors, and to a ban on foreign travel for all academics in Turkey. We do not want to interfere in domestic Turkish politics, but we can and must speak out when academic freedom is at risk. Academic freedom is vital for all disciplines, but particularly so for scholars studying social and political developments. We call on the Turkish political authorities to take all possible steps to guarantee that our members, affiliates, and other academics are allowed to continue their scholarly work without interference. Meanwhile we offer our sympathy and support to our Turkish members/affiliates and other academics in Turkey.

Hello everyone. After giving birth to my 1st baby, is a 2-month rest well enough for me to go to work?
Hello everyone. After giving birth to my 1st baby, is a 2-month rest well enough for me to go to work?
I would say that every mum and baby is different so it is hard to say what amount of time is enough. It also depends on your type of work. Will you be leaving your house (and so your baby) to work? Generally speaking, 2 months is quite a short period of maternity leave - although I know many parents do not have the luxury of having an extended time off work due to financial obligations.
In Australia, paid maternity leave is given for at least 4 months and this rises to 9 months in the UK. However, the US still has no mandatory paid maternity leave.
If it is possible for mums to have a good break from work after giving birth, then this can help with breastfeeding and establishing a good attachment with her baby. Of course, these things can still be achieved will less maternity leave they are just easier if mum has more of a break.
Personally speaking, I think 6 months should be the minimum amount of mandatory maternity leave mums are given.
However, 2-4 months may be enough time for you depending on what your work situation is and on your baby. Are you able to spend a bit longer deciding how much time to have off from work given you have very recently given birth?
Best wishes and congratulations again,

MOPA Staff Blogs
Farewell but not Goodbye
After almost a decade here at MOPA, I am sadly writing my final blog post as a MOPA staff. MOPA has been my home for almost a decade and when I started in 2002 as the Director of Education and then transitioned to Deputy Director a few years later, I had no idea that MOPA would grow and develop into such an exciting and innovative organization over the years. As we like to say internally, "MOPA is a laboratory for new ideas." And I have certainly been given the privilege and opportunities to experiment with new ideas over the years.
Top 10 Photography Apps: The must haves for phone photography fanatics
Now that so many of us have our phones constantly in our hands, ready to snap every moment of life and share it with our online social communities, it's about time we knew which were the essentials tools to have with us on our daily photo shoots. These include both photo-taking and editing apps that enhance and play with images to make your hourly online updates more innovative and shareable.
Mixing Mediums - Collage, Painting and Photography by Holly Roberts
MOPA has always been an institution that showcases photographers who push the limits of the art form. Whether it's through the subjects they photograph, the message of their images, or their treatment of the medium, we look to inspire our visitors by showing them something unexpected and meaningful. This Februray, we will be opening Unusual Suspects: Paintings and Photographs by Holly Roberts , an exhibition that will expose our audience to a different take on photography.
Last Minute Shopping?
I'm a serial planner--I can't help myself. Planning is usually just as much, if not more fun, than doing for me. I enjoy planning a vacation just as much as going on one. I come from a long line of planners and over-preparers. But somehow this year, after completing about 90% of my holiday shopping in October and November. I still have about 10% remaining, which includes gifts for some of the people closest to me.
Fun for the Family – Crafty Sunday - DIY Snow Globe
Every third Sunday of the month the MOPA Store hosts a fun event called Crafty Sunday. Crafty Sunday is held from 12:00 – 3:00 pm in the MOPA Store where creative, photography inspired crafts are created each month! The crafts are perfect for your kids or the whole family. View our current exhibits while your children have a great time crafting something fantastic!
A Closer Look at "Eden 2"
After spending the last month as an intern at MOPA I have had the chance to explore the current exhibition Infinite Balance in depth. The show is full of astounding, thought-provoking works that reveal the increasingly prevalent effect we have on our surrounding environment. However, each time I pass through the exhibition my favorite photograph remains the same, Eden 2 by Susan Derges.
Start a Holiday Tradition with Family Film Day!
As a film-lover my entire life, I have always had fond memories of marking the holidays with festive classic films like "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "A Charlie Brown Christmas". In my childhood, these movies kicked off the excitement that Christmas day would soon bring. I recently became a mother and so memories like these are ones that I would like to share and experience with my little one. This Saturday, December 10th, MOPA gives your family the chance to start a new holiday tradition by watching a holiday movie with a twist.
Infinite Balance: Yao Lu's Landscape Series
"If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end up where we are headed." -- Chinese Proverb
This quote frames an extraordinary series of work by Yao Lu, one of the artists showcased in Infinite Balace: Artists and the Environment, one of the current exhibitions now on view at MOPA.
Support MOPA & Complete Your Holiday Shopping!
The holiday season is rapidly approaching! Not sure how to top last years' amazing gifts? Are you on a budget but want to impress your special someone? Trying to find the perfect gift for your brother, sister, parents, kids or friend? Well you're in luck! The MOPA Store has fantastic presents for all ages!
We have one of a kind jewelry for mom, photography documentaries for dad, games for the little cousins, and groovy hanging photo clip mobiles for your friend's new apartment!
Youth Exhibition: 5 years later
Since 2006, MOPA has showcased the photographs and films of emerging young artists from Kindergarten to grade 12 in our annual youth exhibition. After five years of exhibitions, I am still astounded by the skill, creativity and artistry seen in the works created by these young artists. This year's exhibition, See/Saw is no exception.

I was reading this article about getting a job at Google. Basically it says, focussing on one programming language and become an expert makes you more employable. But I feel in web design there are just too many things for a person to just focus on one. If you had to pick an ideal pool of skills, what would it be?
For me, I assume Design Theory (typography, layout, colour etc) HTML, CSS and photoshop are bare minimum basics.
Other 'configurations' could be the basics plus:
It depends if you want to run a business or get a job and where you want the job. If you want a job in a big company a specific skillset would be the way to go.
If you want to freelance or run a small business you probably have to be an all rounder or be exceptional at one skill - I'd choose design but I'm not sure it's something you can really learn. But if you were an exceptional designer you would have a good chance at getting a good amount of work and it would be easy enough to get the other skills if you want to do the whole process.
If you want to build a large successful agency you need to be a business guy - ideally with a good eye for design IMO.
First of all, Web Design != Web Development.
Secondly, Web Development is no different to any other type of programming. Most back-end developers only know PHP and are happy to limit themselves, whereas some people like to dabble and will move around jobs with different technologies and stacks. Some of us like both front-end development and back-end.
Again, it depends on whether you want to be a Web Designer or a Web Developer. Designers will need to know all about the theoretical aspects of design, and front-end developers will need to know about HTML and CSS, probably a bit of Photoshop too so that they can work with PSD's.
In regards to programming this is the best list I can come across.
Completely agree with you there. Unfortunately, most employers don't know the difference between design and development. In their eyes, you're the guy that will make their website, including both design and development. When you look at most job ads these days, they expect web 'designers' to know some sort of scripting language and sometimes even php etc. Rarely will you find an ad that just states 'html, css, photoshop'. There's a lot of crossover. That's another reason I thought of this post - these days is it really enough to just know the basics and still be a web designer?
I agree with this, lots of job applications use the all-in list of skills because they don't necessarily know what they need themselves, but these tend to be where a Jack-of-all trades is needed and not a straight developer.
Having been around the design and development of websites since it all kicked off there has definitely become a fragmentation and specialisation that has gone along with it. I think Danweb's answer above was a good summary of that.
I currently work in a small company and you by default end up having to dabble in lots of different areas. It isn't the nicest because you become aware of your limitations in so many more areas, but you also come to appreciate how knowing one language like the back of your hand would be a huge advantage. Because I suck at langauges and enjoy variety, I like my job, but I also have to live with the limbo frustration of never dealing with one language full time all the time to the point I do know it inside out and backwards.
I'm going to quote someone who's answer made complete sense to me.
In my view, a good developer is a "table with legs":
It's no good to be a beginner at everything an expert at nothing. But equally, an area of extreme skill is no good without the context of any others.
I think the best people in any industry have a breadth of skills that they're at least comfortable with to some extent, combined with a couple of areas of high fluency.

Because I suck at languages and enjoy variety, I like my job, but I also have to live with the limbo frustration of never dealing with one language full time all the time to the point I do know it inside out and backwards.
I've joined a much smaller team recently and I love working in a lot more areas, the larger the company the more people will specialize.With that comes a lot of waste and people refusing to work outside of their areas of interest.
I don't think I'll ever work for another large organization again, from my experience smaller teams have more tables with legs.
PicNet, my only suggestion is not to limit yourself. Always keep up to date with one area that you really enjoy, but always be learning about the things around your area that you need to interact with.
Web designers should have several skills in order to become a powerful candidate for a job in the web industry. HTML, CSS, Photoshop, and Javascript (JQuery) are very important tools to master as a web designer. These tools allow you to utilize your talent. Web usability and interface knowledge is also a must.
Web designers, according to a lot of recent postings should be able to color correct, edit, create vector art, build a website, host a website, manage a website, develop content on the website, write blogs, get coffee, wash cars and fetch groceries...while only keeping a part-time schedule [for tax reasons!!]
Web Designers Are responsible for A creative and Good Looking website . They are creative Bloc of a web services company and take care of almost everything that will be visible to the visitor of the website. Requires Skills like Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver are some of the design .
I won't disagree with you there, but what I will say is that it doesn't make it right to lump both in together. I've worked with enough companies that treat Web Developers as designers to know that they aren't the kinds of companies you should be working at because a company that cannot afford to pay two people to do two job roles isn't respecting your skill set.
Most job ads aren't like that. Only poor jobs ask for this and thankfully these are becoming the minority as the need for agency-driven development and in-house teams rises.
Go anywhere that a self-respecting graduate or entry-level developer can land a job and you'll see that they ask for the typical stuff in the job description, with a designer being a designer and a developer either as both front-end and back-end or both.
Is there? I'd say that there is absolutely no crossover between design and development at all.
Yes, and any thoughts otherwise highlight the reason why I said that it doesn't make it right to lump design and development in together.
This forum is guilty of doing this as HTML and CSS forums are within the design section of the site and as you'll know it breeds novice-level discussion. The reason why so many people lump the two together is because there is only one of them but two tasks that need doing, so in the process of learning how to build a site one will have to do some kind of design. However, in the real world hardly anyone is both a credible designer and a mid-to-senior level development. It just doesn't happen, because they are both entirely different skill sets. When's the last time you met a Personal Injury lawyer that was also a qualified medical doctor?
The simple truth you will gain from reading any job board is that you are either a designer or a developer. If you're a designer your realm is Photoshop, multimedia, UX and possibly work within the IA of a site. If you're a developer your job is knowing how to code a website up, meaning the following skills:
In my country designers will never do so called "coding"A company that works in web-design will typically want around 4-5 people.
It always puzzled me why designers are happy to do coding — it seems like a different mindset to me. But since i started to look for a job in uk i started to work on my css/html/jquery skills =)

Losing Your Marbles for a Piece of Pizza — Junk Food Can Cause Higher Risk of Alzheimer's
The majority of America eats junk food on a regular basis. With its affordability and fast service, too many families eat at places like McDonald's rather than a home cooked meal. Could all of these junk foods be the cause for more problems than just obesity?
Alzheimer's is now referred to by the scientific community as "type 3 diabetes." This is because of years of studies producing more and more evidence that Alzheimer's is largely a metabolic disease. We are all familiar with diabetes these days. There are more and more cases occurring across all age groups, races, and sexes. Many families now have at least one, if not more, family members suffering from the ailment.
Also growing in numbers are Alzheimer's patients. This disease is found in the early stages to cause; mild mood and personality changes, losing train of thought and objects, and difficulty completing daily tasks. These symptoms can often be confused with the normal "getting old" behaviors. Once the disease progresses to the moderate stage, the symptoms become more abnormal than the natural slowing down of an older person. Lack of concern with hygiene, increased confusion, and trouble remembering family members can occur. This stage is still seemingly mild, but as Alzheimer's disease ravages the mind the sufferer will enter a frightening existence.
Inability to recognize oneself is listed for the severe stage of Alzheimer's. Can you imagine waking one morning and having no memory of your name or past? Feeling lost in your own home, as if you had never been there before. Someone approaches you that is a complete stranger. They are insistent that they are your spouse or loved one, but you cannot place their face in your absent memories. Explaining to them that you don't know them is impossible because your communication skills have runaway with your memory. Tasks like getting dressed are too hard for you to complete by yourself because you won't remember all of the steps. It is okay if you forgot to put your pants on, though. You have no control over your bladder or bowels, so "accidents" become a regular part of the day.
If the idea of living in that kind of situation makes you feel anxious and a little ill, maybe it is time to consider what you are putting in your body. Since Alzheimer's has been for so long becoming more matched with junk food and being overweight, why would you chance it? Would it not now be the dream just to grow old and forget your keys every once in a while? Is eating that greasy pizza, bag of chips, cookies, and a few sodas worth losing yourself?
The issue of obesity and its effects have been widely discussed and yet the numbers in our country have yet to show improvement. Lets start here and now.
Lose the pounds, not your life and mind.

Hi Steven. I have $100 worth of sockeye salmon from Bristol Bay that we'll be grilling BBQ U-style. Could you remind me what you called the chips we made from grilled salmon skin while the fish was cooking on a plank? I thought I wrote it down in my notes, but apparently I didn't. Good thing it wasn't on the final exam!
Here's a photo reminder. And I really want one of those big Weber grills someday!

On an early spring evening in 2003 Ramona Moore went missing on her way to a Burger King. Until recently her name has been absent from the media. There were no national alerts, no hourly updates on CNN, in fact no media attention at all. According to the village voice even the killers were upset by the lack of coverage.
"They put people on the news for doing stupid shit like jumping off roofs," she heard one of the men tell the other. "After this, we better get on the news."
When Ramona's mother questioned reporters, about why her daughters disappearance was not getting any press, she was told that the police were saying that she was just another run away.
From almost the very beginning the police refused to assigned sufficient manpower, or take the case seriously. When Carmichael called to report her daughter missing after the initial 24 hour waiting period she was told, "Lady, why are you calling here? Your daughter is 21. These officers should not have taken the report in the first place." The next day, April 26, the complaint was marked "closed." Her family repeatedly begged officers to investigate Ramona's case. It took a plea from a local politician that was contacted by the family for a case to even be "re-opened".
No one cared about case No. 2003-067-65609. Romona was just another missing black woman. It is only in the aftermath of torture, rape and murder that the media and the police are finally paying attention. Justice has been served in that her killers are behind bars for life without the possibility of parole, but would it even have had a role to play had the police done their jobs from the very beginning?
Carmichael, Romonas mother is fighting to make sure that this does not happen to anyone else. She has filed a civil rights law suit charging that the NYPD has a "practice of not making a prompt investigation of missing-persons claims of African-Americans, while making a prompt investigation for white individuals." Judge Nina Gershon's ruling is believed to be the first of its kind in the city.
Without looking at the research statistics I feel within my heart that bias will be proven. As I sit and think of the nightly news reports that I have watched for years, I cannot recall missing stories on Blacks of any gender, or age being heavily reported. Blacks make the news when we commit crime, not when a crime is committed against us.
In Romanas case there is a connection between race, class and gender. Occupying the body of a black female made it all the more likely for her disappearance to be ignored. Women that make the news are by enlarged white and middle class. People are shocked when a white female body is defiled but when that body is black, it is the acceptable norm. Black bodies do not matter socially, and the bodies of black women matter even less.
As I have repeatedly posted black women historically have been characterized as the ultimate "un-woman". It is this social construction that makes our bodies ripe for exploitation in all forms. We are invisible until we are being used and abused. Considered to be without value, and recourse to make effective change we have been relegated to the bottom layers of society. Ramona is just one woman, but her death symbolizes the senseless deaths of black women since we first stepped foot on this harsh continent.
When we cry out with a mothers grief at the loss of our children, we are ignored. When we scream with a womans rage, when our bodies are brutalized, and raped we are silenced. When our stomachs burn with the bile of rejection, we are created as less than human. My blood boils with the rage of confronting daily, the scurrility of this system of human apathy and conceit. May Carmichael find true justice for her daughter, and for all of the brown and black daughters of the earth, who wait in silence and anguish for the cleansing justice of realizing their humanity in the light of day.

National Science Foundation Announces Graduate Research Fellows for 2008
Awards are made to 913 graduate students in STEM disciplines
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has announced this year's Graduate Research Fellows (GRF), who represent a diverse group of scientific disciplines and regions of the country. They are also a diverse group of individuals. Among the 913 awardees, 490 are women, 133 are from underrepresented minority groups, and 31 are people with disabilities.
The GRF program, the oldest of NSF's programs, makes awards directly to graduate students rather than to universities. As such, the awards are "portable." Students receive three years of funding at the institution they choose--up to $121,500--for research-focused master's and doctorate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. (The students receive a stipend of $30,000 a year, plus $10,500 a year as a cost of education allowance.) Students are eligible to receive supplements for travel and supercomputing. NSF Fellows are expected to become experts who can contribute significantly to research, teaching, and innovations in science and engineering.
Since 1952, NSF has funded 43,000 GRFs out of more than 500,000 applicants. Twenty of them have gone on to become Nobel laureates, including David Politzer and Frank Wilczek (Physics, 2004), and Eric Maskin (Economics, 2007). Among GRFs who have found success in business, Google co-founder Sergey Brin is probably the most well-known.
As a group, GRFs have a high rate of doctorate degree completion, with more than 70 percent of students completing their doctorates within 11 years.
A complete list of those offered this fellowship for 2008 is available at https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/grfp/AwardeeList.do?method=loadAwardeeList. For general information about the program, go to http://www.nsfgradfellows.org/.

Fats Domino
Pop Musician
Date Of Birth:
26 February 1928
Place Of Birth:
New Orleans, Louisiana
Best Known As:
Early rock 'n' roll singer of "Blueberry Hill"
Antoine "Fats" Domino recorded dozens of top-40 hits between 1950 and 1966, including early feel-good rock 'n' roll classics "Blueberry Hill" and "Ain't That A Shame." Domino grew up in New Orleans and began performing on piano and singing when he was a child. He began recording in 1949 with bandleader Dave Bartholomew, who later became his writing and arranging partner on most of his biggest hits; their first tune together, "The Fat Man," was a hit in 1949. Despite being popular with black audiences and on top of the rhythm and blues charts in the early 1950s, it wasn't until white singer Pat Boone covered "Ain't That A Shame" that Fats became a national celebrity. One of the first big stars of rock 'n' roll, Fats had a distinctive sound based on a rhythmic piano style influenced by boogie-woogie. Although the hits stopped coming after the mid-1960s, Fats performed up until the 1980s, when he retired and settled in his hometown. His hits include "I'm Walkin'," "Blue Monday" and "Walkin' to New Orleans."
Extra Credit:
Pop singer Chubby Checker took his stage name as a play on Fats Domino… Pat Boone's version of "Ain't That A Shame" reached number one on the charts, but Domino's version only reached number 10… "Blueberry Hill" was a standard that had been a top hit for Glenn Miller in 1940… Domino went missing after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in August of 2005. Days later, his daughter announced that she had seen news footage of Domino being rescued by boat and that he was presumed safe.

LUCKY youngsters at four Thurrock schools are set to enjoy six months learning about World War One thanks to a £27,500 grant.
In the run up the war's centenary in November, pupils at Thameside Primary, the East Tilbury schools, Stanford-le-Hope Primary and St Clere's secondary school will explore the definitive period in global history through numerous workshops and educational visits.
The project, which is being funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, is the brain child of History graduate and Thameside teacher Katie Allwood.
After chatting to borough historian and Gazette columnist Jonathon Catton, Miss Allwood decided to apply for the grant which will see pupils hear talks from guest speakers on Essex during the way, animals at war and literature and war - bringing home the impact that World War One had on the area during 1914 and 1918.
The grant will also pay for pupils to go on trips to the Imperial War Museum Duxford and the New London Theatre to see a production of critically acclaimed War Horse.
Miss Allwood said: "The idea of applying for a grant was first suggested to me by Jonathan Catton from Thurrock Museum. Since then the project has gone from strength to strength thanks to the support and contributions from the schools and volunteers from local heritage institutions such as the Bata Reminiscence and Resource Centre."
Christina Pumfrey, head teacher at the Thameside Academy said: "The Heritage Lottery Fund will afford our Trust Schools some amazing opportunities to learn about the First World War in the context of Thurrock and to experience things which would otherwise not be possible. We are all very excited."

What a value!
I found this style ring at a jeweler (J***d's) and really liked it, but not the price. A simple search on Overstock brought me to this very ring, with better clarity and color than in the store, at about half the price! It still sparkles beautifully almost 6 years later! <3Read More

Poor quality setting
My husband and I ordered this ring for our 10th wedding anniversary. I received 3 rings in total, and returned two, through a course of weeks of purchases and exchanges. All three of the rings sent to me were poorly set. The last was the worst, but by that time I was so frustrated I just gave up and kept it. It was a mistake. Every time I look at it I'm irritated. The diamonds are supposed to lay flat and flush in the ring. They are all off kilter and messed up. None of them lay flat. It makes me very sad. I would have exchanged it for a fourth time but had no faith that a four time would yield any better results. I wish Overstock would address this matter, find a new ring and exchange the product. If they know the complaint, they should have checked the other rings before sending them out to their customers.Read More
Beautiful and Elegant!!
This is my new wedding band!! It is superb in every way! Total diamond weight is a carot- it is elegant!! Not too gaudy but LOTS of bling for the buck!! This is my second marriage at the age of 51 so I'm a little more particular in desiring classy and elegant jewelry. You will not be disappointed!!Read More
Excellent Replacement Choice
I lost my original wedding band; which was part of a bridal set! I was mortified, but thank God I had insurance on it. I looked around and couldn't find anything that was comparable in the 3 C's, until I shopped on Overstock. I have to say this band not only paired well with my engagement ring, when I got it appraised, its rating was better than my original band! The cost was phenomenal for what I received. I was very skeptical about ordering such a high priced item initially, but I will definitely use Overstock again....and again....and again!Read More

Nice Ring for the Price
I have a 1.5ct princess cut solitaire engagement ring in 18K WG and I bought this ring as the wedding band to match it. The 1 ct TW is a nice match in terms of the "look" together. The diamonds in this ring are bright and as stated in the rating (4 C's). There are, however, two things I noticed that I think are worth considering before purchase. 1) The band width is stated as 4mm and the picture looks like it is equal at top and bottom. I expected it to be 4mm all the way around. The band actually tapers to about 2mm at the bottom This may not be a big deal to some. My engagement ring does not taper though. Also, 2) I ordered the ring a size 8 and expected to have it sized to a 9. It arrived w/ invoice for size 8... but it fits like a 9. Pleasant surprise for me but not if you are ordering the size you wear. I suggest ordering one size smaller. Others have written reviews about the same ring in other carat weights with similar complaints about sizing. All in all I would order this ring again.Read More

Hi,Sure hope you can help me. I tried to hire the author of Gallerffic, but I have not gotten a response. I also posted in the JQuery forums, but so far no luck.
I cannot get the first photo of the first Accordion container to display in the enlargement area. What I get are FOUR of the same enlarged images (not even the correct image) vertically displayed down the page. The rest seems to be working OK.
Here is the website and page: http://tinyurl.com/3e7pgtg
Here are the links to the css and various .js pagesGalleriffic CSS: http://tinyurl.com/3hg9s32Galleriffic JS: http://tinyurl.com/3qws5a6Galleriffic history JS: http://tinyurl.com/3d97m5j
Thank you so much for your help. I've been struggling with this for days. I'm not a coder.Cheers,Janell
Do you know the saying about give a man a fish, versus teach a man to fish?Well, we can certainly help you to become a coder if you so desire.
If instead though you don't want to get in to programming, you may be able to employ a coder from our marketplace.
I've looked at the page and the first photo from the first accordion container seems to display in the same way as the other ones do.
Have you tried it in other web browsers, or on different machines? Why I ask is that the development machine might have local caching that's interfering with things.
Hi Paul,First, thanks for looking at this.Yes, I've cleared the cache and looked at it on a Mac in Safari, Firefox and Opera. On my PC in Firefox, Chrome and IE. For all of them I get 4 images vertically displayed from the 4th accordion, first photo, which is number #30. It is a puzzlement that you see it correctly. (Thanks for your message, still a real possibility!)Thanks,Janell
The 4th accordion now, and not the first. Okay.
I open the page, open the 4th accordion and click on the first image. I still don't see the problem when doing that. Hmm.
HI Paul,It is just the loading of the first image that causes the problem. Once the accordion is activated and one of the thumbnails is click on, the whole thing works fine. I just can't figure out how to get the first image to load on initial page load and for it to load once without repeating vertically down the page and ending up in the footer.Thanks so much!!!!!Janell
The cause of the problem is that you have four different galleries that are being created.
$('#thumbs0').galleriffic('#thumbs0', galleryOptions);
$('#thumbs1').galleriffic('#thumbs1', galleryOptions);
$('#thumbs2').galleriffic('#thumbs2', galleryOptions);
$('#thumbs3').galleriffic('#thumbs3', galleryOptions);
It wasn't you that created that above code, was it? If not, the person who did do so really needs to learn a thing or two.
After each gallery is created, each gallery shows the first image.Does galleriffic allow you to create a gallery without showing a starting image? Nope.Does galleriffic provide built-in support for multiple galleries? I don't think so.
So, it seems that some tidying up will need to be done after those galleries are created. That is, removing the contents from those other gallery areas, after they have been created.
Paul figured out the problem, if you are interested, you can see the page here:http://tinyurl.com/3hvcfks

I have had this problem for over a day now. Before, all SMSs were received and sent with no problems. I went to talk to my mobile provider and the SIM works just fine. I have an unlimited text contract for 2 years with this SIM. I am using a GSM modem from Vodafone that was unlocked, a ZTE incorporated K3570-Z. It's been working with no problem up until yesterday. I am using this as a research project for a Geography graduate course for the next few weeks, with constant messages from students.
I went to the troubleshooting page and checked everything. The only thing I can think of right now is to uninstall and re-install the application.
What should I do?

Together we have served the community for over 130 years
The YMCA of San Diego County is extremely grateful to San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) for its long partnership with the YMCA of San Diego County. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of youth and families have been impacted by their collaboration and generosity.
For nearly fifteen years, San Diego Gas & Electric has been the exclusive sponsor of the YMCA's Character Development program, a year-round focus on teaching and demonstrating the core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility in all Y programs. This partnership ensures the availability of program materials such as character books and program specific Activity Toolkits which help teach core values; along with recognition handouts such as value bracelets, ribbons and certificates. Annually, San Diego County's youth are invited to participate in a values-based Poster, Essay and Speech contest where free Y memberships and other prizes are awarded to the winner in each grade level.
We are proud that SDG&E not only shares our vision but has the confidence to lend their support for many Y branch events. One such event is the YMCA's Healthy Kids Day which is celebrated annually to emphasize healthy living and is free to the public.
Through SDG&E's Civic Leadership program, low-income community Y branches are able to provide Scholarships to low-income children in character building programs. These facilities, due to their respective neighborhoods not only have the greatest need, but have the potential of the biggest impact.
We are very grateful for the long-standing and significant partnership we have with San Diego Gas & Electric, plus the involvement of key individuals on our YMCA boards, helps create a more effective and dynamic organization in meeting the needs of the community.
When five San Diegans met on April 18, 1881, to incorporate the San Diego Gas Company, they formed a successful enterprise that would serve a fledgling city whose population had just passed 3,000. Exactly 1 year and 9 days later, George Marston and friends adopted the constitution and by-laws of San Diego's YMCA. Together we have served San Diego's growing community for over 130 years!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/2/2012 (2010 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Off-ice officials at NHL games are only in the spotlight during disputed goals but it's not like they sit around praying for close calls to give them something to do.
This team of officials - easily identified by their black blazers emblazoned with an NHL crest - perform valuable behind-the-scenes work that helps each game run as smoothly as possible.
Each goal, whether controversial or not, is reviewed to make sure everything is on the level, but they also compile statistics and ensure that the game pucks are kept at the right temperature and replaced every couple of minutes. Who knew?
In this week's installment of Jetcetera, Ron Ottawa gives us a first-hand look - from the press box down to the fridge where the pucks are kept at ice level - at a game in the life of an off-ice official.

Lupus and You: Signs, Symptoms, Medications and Outcomes
From the Bronx Stop on the 2013 Hospital Tour
What are some of the effects of lupus on the body? What medications are used to treat lupus? What is the connection between lupus and osteoporosis? These are just a few of the questions answered by two lupus specialists who spoke to patients and their family and friends at Montefiore Medical Center as part of the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation's annual Hospital Tour.
Here are highlights of their presentations for those who could not attend.
Lupus and You: Your Body, Your Medications
Onome Whiteru, MD
Dr. Whiteru's presentation reviewed the various manifestations of lupus and discussed the medications used to treat lupus. Following are key learnings from her talk:
- Lupus affects the body in many ways but it can be controlled with treatments and go into remission.
- Medications used to treat lupus protect your body from the harmful effects of lupus but can also cause side effects.
- Treatments for lupus usually include some combination of steroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), antimalarials, cytotoxics, and biologics.
- Steroids are used for many manifestations of lupus; they are anti-inflammatory and suppress the immune system.
- They can have many side effects and close monitoring by your healthcare professional is important.
- NSAIDS (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) include aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen and are mostly used for pain relief.
- Antimalarials
- Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) is usually well tolerated and can help reduce the risk of a flare.
- Cytotoxics
- Azathioprine (Imuran or Azasan) is typically used to treat moderate to severe manifestations of lupus.
- Methotrexate (Rheumatrex or Trexall) is typically used to treat the arthritis component of lupus.
- Mycophenolate mofetil (Cellcept) is typically used for lupus kidney disease as well as refractory cytopenias and vasculitis.
- Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) is typically used for the most severe manifestation of lupus: lupus kidney disease, lupus of the nervous system, severe vasculitis and severe refractory anemias.
- Biologics
- Belimumab (Benlysta) is usually used to help patients get off steroids and is particularly effective for the skin and arthritis manifestations of lupus.
- Other ways to protect yourself are to use sunscreen, make sure you are getting enough calcium, vitamin D and folate, and get vaccinated.
Onome Whiteru, MD attended the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education at the City College of New York and completed her medical school and internal medicine residency training at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. She was a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at SUNY Downstate and is currently a rheumatology fellow at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Bone Health and Lupus
Cindy Johnston, MD
Dr. Johnston's presentation covered the link between lupus and osteoporosis and discussed methods of prevention and management. Following are key learnings from her talk:
The Link Between Lupus and Osteoporosis
- Studies have found an increase in bone loss and fracture in individuals with SLE.
- Women with lupus may be nearly five times more likely than those without the disease to experience a fracture from osteoporosis.
- Individuals with lupus are at increased risk for osteoporosis due to
- glucocorticoid medications that can trigger significant bone loss
- pain and fatigue caused by the disease that can result in inactivity, further increasing osteoporosis risk
- bone loss in lupus that may occur as a direct result of the disease.
- Decreased physical activity is just one of many risk factors for osteoporosis and the pain and fatigue of lupus can make it difficult to be physically active, adding to the risk for osteoporosis.
- Low Vitamin D level is another risk factor and since some people with lupus avoid sunlight since it can trigger flares, this may be one reason why some people with lupus have low Vitamin D levels.
Osteoporosis Prevention and Management
- Even though your genes mostly determine how strong your skeleton will become, your lifestyle also plays a big part in your bone health.
- Ways to prevent and treat osteoporosis in people with lupus are not very different from those for people without lupus.
- Bone density screening
- Diet and supplements: calcium and vitamin D
- Fall prevention
- Lifestyle modification
- Don't smoke
- Avoid excessive alcohol
- Exercise
Cindy Johnston, MD is the Chief Fellow of the Division of Rheumatology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She graduated from Rutgers University and completed medical school and residency training in Internal Medicine at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ. Her interests are rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus, and osteoporosis.

WARREN, Ohio (AP) -- A northeast Ohio school district says it won't use a man as a substitute teacher again after he allegedly spanked two young students.
The Vindicator newspaper of Youngstown (http://bit.ly/1cEE07v ) reports that a 63-year-old McDonald, Ohio, man is accused of spanking an 8-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl during a gym class on Tuesday. John E. Jerome pleaded not guilty Friday to a misdemeanor assault charge and was released on his own recognizance.
Warren schools says he has been certified to work as a substitute teacher since the 2010-'11 school year, but that he will not be called again.
The school district says spanking or hitting by a school employee isn't allowed.

ROMA – Ciao again from Rome!
The Quakers played their second game today, and while it was a much more competitive game than we saw a few days ago, they had little trouble dispatching their opponent. This time it was a military team from the US Naval Base outside of Naples, Italy. They were bigger in numbers and in size, but Penn rolled to a 94-59 victory.
The teams again played four 10-minute quarters. Penn was up 21-9 after one period, 45-28 at the half -- surviving a barrage of threes from their hosts -- and 69-45 after three.
We were able to do a little bit better with the stats this time around, I will post them at the bottom of the blog. Fran Dougherty was Penn's leading scorer, with 17 points, and he added nine rebounds and two steals. Miles Cartwright and Tony Hicks had 14 points each, with Miles adding six assists and Tony dishing out five. Greg Louis had eight points and a game-high 10 rebounds, while Henry Brooks and Patrick Lucas-Perry had nine points apiece (PLP's all coming on shots from beyond the arc).
Twelve of the 15 guys on the trip played, and all of them saw plenty of time.
The game wasn't until 6 p.m., so we took our time getting to Naples from Rome (about a three-hour drive) and ended up eating lunch at a restaurant that provided a gorgeous view overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and Mount Vesuvius.
Much like our first game, Tuesday's had a fairly festive atmosphere around it. The base in Naples is far bigger than Camp Darby, and with it being a weekday it was pretty busy. When we arrived at the field house there was a big poster out front promoting that night's game, and when tipoff arrived the bleachers were packed with base residents. It was pretty cool.
After the game, amid the handshakes and well wishes on both sides, Coach Allen pulled our guys to one of the gym's corners. There, they sat in rapt attention and heard inspirational words from the military team's coach, retired Navy Sargent David Lee -- himself a former Division I player in the States– and one of the players in the game.
The player, in particular, was awesome -- he told the guys that he hadn't played in high school or college, and to be on the floor with them was a dream come true (he called it his "Make-A-Wish" moment). He also brought his son over, and talked about how he'd be a senior in high school this year and it was important for him to see just what it takes to be a great ballplayer. I think our players really took something from both of their words, and that was heartening to see.
We stopped along the way home for a nice, four-course dinner that mixed a little Italian (pasta, salad, gelato) and some American (delicious French fries!), and arrived back at the hotel in Rome near midnight.
Most of the guys went straight to bed. That was a good idea -- Wednesday we have an early start, a tour of the Vatican starting at about 8:30 a.m. We'll come back to the hotel around noon, enjoy our pregame meal, then bus to Perugia for our final game on the trip. Looking forward to another great day here on Wednesday!
