Update 10:15 p.m.: Power Outages
From LG&E:
We have multiple power outages across our service territory. Crews are working safely and quickly to restore power. https://t.co/c2j3YZRrdq— LG&E and KU (@lgeku) February 5, 2014
More than 7,700 customers in Louisville were without electricity at 10:15-ish p.m. Tuesday. You can follow along with the status across the region here.
Update 9:42 p.m.: One More Update, Again
Here's the latest from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet:
Freezing rain is falling across most of District 5. Henry, Oldham and Trimble counties are reporting an inch of ice. In some areas the highway drains are clogged with snow and ice resulting in ponding of water on the roadways. Crews are continuing to treat their routes as needed. Road conditions by county as of 9 PM:
Bullitt – Freezing rain, partly covered roads, crews plowing slush
Franklin – Rain, wet pavement, crews monitoring
Henry – Snow/sleet mix, mostly covered roads, crews salting and plowing
Jefferson – Rain, wet pavement, crews monitoring
Oldham – Freezing rain, mostly covered roads, crews salting and plowing
Shelby – Freezing rain, partly covered roads, crews plowing
Spencer – Freezing rain, partly covered roads, crews salting and plowing
Trimble – Freezing rain/sleet mix, completely covered, crews salting and plowing
Update 9:20 p.m.: One More Update
The National Weather Service's latest update advises against travel Tuesday night, if it's avoidable. The weather service is also warning of possible power outages because of the ice. Here's an updated accumulation map:
The weather service's most recent forecast for Louisville is for rain, freezing rain and sleet into the very early morning hours of Wednesday, followed by freezing drizzle. In the early morning, Louisville may get freezing drizzle and snow showers until 9 a.m., the weather service said.
We'll have more updates later.
Update 8:10 p.m.: The Latest
The National Weather Service gave another update a while ago. It doesn't say much new—the worst of the ice is forecast to happen between about an hour ago through midnight. After that, the Louisville area should expect freezing drizzle.
The weather service says to expect hazardous driving conditions Tuesday evening. It's also cautioning people about the potential for flooding near the Green River and "low-lying, flood prone areas."
Here's a slightly updated map:
Update 6:12 p.m.: State Road Update
Here's an update from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's division that covers Louisville:
All 8 counties are experiencing a snow/sleet mix at this time. Temperatures are below freezing in all counties. The weather and road conditions are changing rapidly. All crews are salting their routes and highways are partly to mostly covered.
Update 5:30 p.m.: Exchange Forms
Louisville is getting its share of traffic accidents Tuesday afternoon as ice/sleet is hitting during rush hour, a said a MetroSafe spokeswoman.
She says Louisville Metro Police were asking motorists in non-injury accidents to exchange information if their vehicles were operable. Here's that form.
Update 5 p.m.: Winter Weather
The Louisville area is getting some of the anticipated winter weather.
The National Weather Service hasn't changed much in its latest update, issued about a half-hour ago. Here's its predictions for accumulation:
The weather service forecasts that the heaviest precipitation will happen between 7 p.m. and midnight Tuesday, possibly causing "significant" ice accumulation. But, again, officials have said they don't expect this situation to be like the 2009 ice storm.
The weather service warns of hazardous traveling Tuesday night and that this afternoon's rush hour will be "negatively impacted." Which, from a quick glance at Trimarc, it already is. Here's the westbound Watterson Expressway near Poplar Level Road. Trimarc says it's a four vehicle accident:
(You can get a glance at how Louisville and Southern Indiana interstates are doing here.)
Update 1 p.m.: Press Conference
Things you need to know:
-The Louisville area is forecast to get about a quarter-inch of ice starting Tuesday afternoon, the National Weather Service said.
-A wintry mix, including freezing rain, is expected to begin in Louisville sometime around 4 p.m. Tuesday, the weather service said. The system is heading northeast. Here's a timing map from the weather service:
-More precipitation is possible. At the moment, the weather service forecast says: "Rain, snow, and freezing rain before 4 a.m., then freezing rain likely, possibly mixed with snow. Low around 26."
-Louisville and the surrounding area are under a winter storm warning from 4 p.m. Tuesday to 7 a.m. Wednesday.
-City and state officials are preparing for the potential freezing rain, which would fall at about the time the afternoon commute is taking place. They have road crews ready to go, however, they don't expect the storm to be as bad as the 2009 ice storm.
-LG&E doesn't expected this to be a "widespread event," spokeswoman Natasha Collins said. Still, they plan to be prepared just in case.
-Jefferson County Public Schools students are being dismissed early. Middle and high school students are already out, and elementary students will be dismissed at 1:45 p.m. The after-school Childhood Enrichment Program will remain open, but school officials urge parents to pick up their kids as soon as possible.
Michael Raisor, chief operating officer for JCPS, said the timing of the forecast frozen rain align right to when the school system would have the most buses on the road.
Early dismissals/closures have also been announced for:
- Bellarmine University
- University of Louisville
- IU Southeast (Classes that start at 1:15 p.m. or later are canceled; offices close at 2 p.m.)
- Jefferson County Catholic high schools
- Greater Clark Schools
- Clarksville Community Schools
- New Albany-Floyd County Schools
For details on each, check the earlier updates.
Update 12:20 p.m.: UofL's Out Early Too
The University of Louisville is canceling classes that begin at or after 1 p.m. UofL offices close at 2:30 p.m.
Update 11:22 a.m.: And More
Jefferson County Catholic high schools are dismissing at 1:30 p.m. New Albany-Floyd County Schools are dismissing two hours early.
Update 11:02 a.m.: And Oldham County Schools Dismiss 1 Hour Early
Oldham County Schools will dismiss one hour early. That means "1:20 p.m. for elementary and 2:45 p.m. for middle and high."
Update 10:55 a.m.: And More
Now Greater Clark County Schools will dismiss two hour early.
Update 10:45 a.m.: JCPS Dismissing Early
Jefferson County Public Schools will dismiss two hours early on Tuesday because of the threat of winter weather.
That means middle and high school students will get out at 12:20 p.m. and elementary school students will get out at 1:45 p.m.
JCPS will have no early childhood education program in the evening, and all evening activities are canceled.
Update 9:45 a.m.:Bellarmine
Bellarmine University will close at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday because of the winter weather threat.
Again, many school systems in the Louisville area say they're monitoring the weather. We'll have more on the ice threat coming up later.
Earlier: Classes are in session on Tuesday for Jefferson County Public Schools, but school officials are urging parents to monitor the weather situation in the afternoon.
For its early childhood program, JCPS will not provide transportation Tuesday in the morning or afternoon. School officials are asking people to watch for possible dismissal time changes Tuesday afternoon.
Freezing rain is possible Tuesday in the Louisville area, maybe sometime around or after 4 p.m., the National Weather Service said. Louisville and the surround area will be under a winter storm warning from 4 p.m. Tuesday to 7 a.m. Wednesday.
The weather service is warning of possible "significant" ice accumulation in the region into Wednesday morning. Here's forecast map released Tuesday morning.
This would follow an official five inches of snow Monday in Louisville.
We'll update later Tuesday.

It used to be that events halfway around the world generally got little more than a passing glance here in southeastern Ohio. We had our own issues to worry about, so if something didnt affect us personally, we didnt feel it in our bones.
Thats not so any more.
Last week we felt the chill of the attacks in Spain.
This new level of consciousness arrived on Sept. 11, 2001.
For fear of wussiness, we might not like to admit it, but the uneasiness of an unfamiliar category of danger lingers.
The terrorist attacks in Spain happened on 3/11 2 1/2 years to the day after America was hit on 9/11. Does that mean we ought to fear 6/11? After all, an al Qaeda letter last week said a black death attack on the U.S. was 90 percent ready.
The fact that we even consider such things shows that we are still trying to figure out how to live in an era where we need to be afraid in a rational way and to take responsible precautions without slipping into life-limiting paranoia.
Events in Spain reminded us that we must remain alert. We must take care to distinguish between reasonable and unreasonable precautions.
The attacks in Spain got our attention, all right, but none of us can let fear usher us into some spiritless, withdrawn, dreary existence.
That is not what we are like.
That is not what we ought to become.

An unspayed, female guinea pig who has been with unneutered male guinea pigs and is gaining weight might be pregnant, or she might have a medical issue.
Q: How can I tell if my guinea pig Angel is pregnant? We just got her two weeks ago, but as the days go by she looks like she is gaining weight. We also have a boy but when he tries to do something with her she kicks him and starts squealing and tries to get away from him. We bought them a little hut for them to be cozy in, but if she is in there she will not let him in and once he gets in there she is not happy and storms out of the hut. When he is in the hut she will not go in until he gets out. Is this normal? I just want to know if she is going to have babies. I don't want to be surprised. I want to make her comfortable before she has babies.
A: Yes, your guinea pig can be pregnant. If she is not spayed and has been with male guinea pigs before you took her home, she very likely is pregnant. The gestation period in guinea pigs is relatively long for a rodent, approximately 60 to 70 days.
If she was bred in the last two weeks by the male you have, you would not yet see changes in her appearance. If she is indeed has a change in her appearance because she is pregnant, breeding had to have occurred before you got her.
If she is pregnant, you must separate her from any other guinea pigs you have, including the male, for two important reasons. First, it is possible that she could be bred again almost immediately after giving birth. Unless you want more baby guinea pigs, you should separate her from any male guinea pigs before this litter is born. The other reason not to have other adult guinea pigs near the new babies is to prevent the possibility of other adults injuring or even eating the young.
It is in your pet's best interest for you to visit a veterinarian that is well-versed in guinea pig medicine. Weight gain can be caused by reasons other than pregnancy, and these can be serious diseases. Your veterinarian can examine your guinea pig to determine if she is pregnant.
Also, it is highly recommended that guinea pigs be first bred before they are 6 to 8 months of age, otherwise their pelvic symphysis will fuse. If this structure fuses before a guinea pig delivers her first litter, there may not be enough space for the guinea pig young to be born. If this occurs, likely both the mom and babies will die unless a Caesarian section is performed.
If your guinea pig is older than 6 months and this is her first litter, you really should visit your veterinarian — your guinea pig and lives of those in her litter may depend on it.
A guinea pig-knowledgeable veterinarian can examine a guinea pig to determine if she is pregnant.

Solving the Process Safety Puzzle
Integrated Safety Systems Offer One Solution, but No One-Size-Fits-All Fix Exists
Chris O'Brien, partner at safety and security consultancy exida, also points to corporate culture as a big issue in process safety, and warns of the danger of looking at compliance as the total answer to safety or developing a "check-the-box" mentality. He cites the case of a facility where the feeling was "If we just use the TÜV data, we can get away with it."
O'Brien adds, "I was shocked. Just having the certificate is not enough. If the data isn't realistic, no matter what the certificate says, it's not right. That's not exercising engineering. They're not thinking it through."
The attitude that process industries are dangerous and accidents happen, so deal with it, also is finding less and less toleration.
Johan School, a product manager for Honeywell Safety Solutions points out. "In North America and Europe, there's a lot of regulation, and everyone needs to comply. There's a lot of incentive to enforce a safety culture. In those countries where there's regulation, there's a sense of not going around the system."
But perhaps as big a driver as legal liability is a shift in the outside culture.
"People are increasingly intolerant of industries that have accidents, especially if those accidents appear to be due to poor management of the associated risks," said Ben van Bourdon, executive vice president of Shell Chemicals Ltd., at the launch event for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's Corporate Governance for Process Safety Initiative in Paris last June.
"Companies are ready to move on from the cost versus risk thing," adds O'Brien. "We don't want to be the guy who polluted the Gulf of Mexico. It comes down to awareness and internalization."
ARC's Young sees this shift in thinking in the market numbers. "What we're seeing is that the process safety system market is growing faster than the DCS replacement market. It's because of high-profile accidents. The C-suite is now paying attention and instituting corporate-wide safety initiatives. Safety has to start at the top."
The Role of Integrated Systems
For at least two decades, the major process automation vendors have been integrating parts of their safety systems with the rest of operations. This trend toward integration is increasing.
"There's a continued move toward greater integration with the control system," says Young. "The systems are integrated, but separate. There's a separate DCS controller and a separate safety system controller, but a common operator terminal and maintenance terminal for both. There are substantial savings from this approach, right from upfront engineering to end of system life."
Aslo Read: Plant Safety
Among the advantages of an integrated safety system are the cost reductions that come from not needing two completely separate systems; a reduction in the number of PCs necessary in a control room; visibility into what's happening on the safety side on the same HMI the operator is using for control; and easier installation and training.
Blue Skies for Bluewater
Bluewater Energy Services B.V. of Hoofddorp, the Netherlands, learned of the advantages of this kind of integration when it upgraded the integrated control and safety system (ICSS) on a floating production, storage and off-loading (FPSO) ship named the Glas Dowr (Figure 1). Bluewater was refurbishing the Glas Dowr for work in the Kitan oilfield about 500 km off the coast of Australia in the Timor Sea.
The new ICSS system involved the upgrade and replacement of all obsolete control and safety systems on the Glas Dowr, including hardware and application migration. Invensys provided project management, detailed system engineering and design, supervision of installation, FAT and SAT testing, commissioning and training. The fully integrated solution included a Foxboro DCS, Trident and Tricon safety systems, Foxboro instrumentation, including level, pressure, flow and temperature sensors, and a Wonderware historian.
The communication infrastructure was replaced with a new one based on a redundant, fault-tolerant switched fiber-optic network to help ensure high system reliability.
The existing emergency shutdown and existing Triconex Tricon fire and gas system were upgraded with new I/O firmware to comply with IEC 61508 regulations. The Tricon system also got new main processors, cards and communication modules. The existing addressable fire detection system was replaced with a new central fire system and detectors, new Tricon fault-tolerant safety controllers and Trident triple modular redundant safety controllers.
That was a massive job, but getting it done on time, no matter the complexity, was absolutely essential. Crucial to the success of Bluewater's business of off-shore drilling is achieving "First Oil." Any delays around that deadline can result in costly penalties and lost production.
"To Bluewater, achieving First Oil on time is critical because income starts being generated for us at this time. Any delays here will have a direct effect on our income," says Ernest Hofstee, senior project manager at Bluewater.

A £1 MILLION scheme to turn a former York care home into a charity base could be given the green light next week.
York Council for Voluntary Service (CVS) is hoping to convert Oliver House in Bishophill into office and activity space for health and social care organisations following the closure of the home last March.
The proposals will go before City of York Council's west and city-centre area planning sub-committee next week and have been recommended for approval, with the applicants saying the project would create space for 22 charities and make it a one-stop centre for services which would particularly be designed for elderly and disabled people.
Oliver House closed as an elderly people's home as part of the council's shake-up of care in the city. It will see York's nine existing care homes, which have been branded outdated, being shut and two new "super-care-homes" being built, as well as a "care village" at the former Lowfields School site.
If the plans are approved next week, two single-storey extensions would be added to house a reception area and a café. A report by planning officer Erik Matthews said only one objection had been received from a neighbouring resident, who supported the scheme but was concerned about the materials being used for the reception block and its impact on road safety as well as car-parking spaces being moved.
Mr Matthews' report said the building, dating from the 1970s, was currently "not making a positive contribution" to the area and the CVS plans would refresh its "plain and monotonous" appearance.
The project would involve installing a suite of offices and meeting rooms for charities and community groups.
In a planning statement submitted to the council, Mass Architecture, which has designed the proposals, said services at Oliver House would allow elderly and disabled people "to live full, inclusive and independent lives" and "benefit a wide range of people".
One of the new super care homes will be built at Haxby Hall, with the other having originally been earmarked for Fordlands Road in Fulford. However, the council has now said this site is not suitable and is consulting on fresh plans to build the complex at Burnholme Community College once the school closes next year.

Surabaya Prostitution Ring Busted
Surabaya. Police in East Java on Friday unraveled a human trafficking syndicate and arrested two people accused of forcing 13 women aged between 18 and 23 into prostitution.
Comr. Aziz Adriansyah, chief of the East Java Polices vice unit, identified the two women arrested as Naning, 50, who allegedly ran a call-girl service in Pasuruan, East Java; and Nuri, 40, who allegedly found customers for Naning.
Both women were charged under the 2007 Law on Trafficking, which carries a penalty of between three and 15 years in prison and a fine of up to Rp 600 million ($66,000).
Aziz said most of the victims originated from the West Java towns of Bandung, Ciamis and Pangandaran, while the rest came from Malang and Surabaya in East Java.
They have been forced to work as prostitutes for more than three months, he said. Each woman, the officer added, was priced at Rp 500,000 per customer, but most of the money went to Naning and Nuri.
In a day, each girl usually served two customers, so you can imagine how much the pimp was receiving, maybe hundreds of million of rupiah each month.
Aziz said that although based in Pasuruan, Naning often ordered the women to serve clients in Surabaya and Malang.
The police officer said that Naning personally trafficked the victims, going to cities in West Java in search of young women looking for work.
The women, he said, were promised work as housemaids. Once they arrived [at Nanings brothel] the women were loaned some money. So for the girls, it was hard for them to leave because they were caught in a cycle of debt, Aziz said.
However, he said, there were some women who became prostitutes of their own will.
After the prostitution den was raided on Friday, the police immediately conducted a health check to test for HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases before returning the women to their families.
The East Java Police also contacted the families of victims from West Java.
The families are on their way to Surabaya to pick the women up while those from Malang and Surabaya were immediately taken to their families, Aziz said, adding that all of the victims had tested negative for STDs.

Watch: Second 'Ice Age: Continental Drift' Trailer with Peter Dinklage
by Ethan Anderton
June 7, 2012

As a big fan of John Leguizamo's work in the past, it's a little disappointing that the only thing keeping his career from falling into oblivion is the continuance of the Ice Age franchise. However, I have to say that his toothy character Sid the Sloth is certainly one of the better parts of the newest trailer for Ice Age: Continental Drift, the fourth film in the animated film series. Plus, it's a big help that we also get to see what kind of villains we're dealing with and that they're a rag tag team of animal pirates led by a prehistoric orangutan voiced by none other than "Game of Thrones" favorite Peter Dinklage. Second trailer below!
Here's the new trailer for Blue Sky Studios' Ice Age: Continental Drift, in high def via Apple:
Here's a synopsis for Ice Age: Continental Drift, co-directed by Steve Martino and Mike Thurmeier at Blue Sky Studios: One of filmdom's most beloved trios - Ice Age's Manny, Diego, and Sid - embark upon their greatest adventure after cataclysm sets an entire continent adrift. Separated from the rest of the herd, they use an iceberg as a makeshift ship, which launches them on an epic seafaring quest. Manny and the gang are challenged like never before to become heroes and do the impossible, as they encounter exotic sea creatures, explore a brave new world, and battle ruthless pirates. And Scrat's reunion with his cursed nut catapults him to places no prehistoric squirrel has gone before. It arrives in theaters on July 13th, 2012.

The HP Board: In the past two months, the board has taken on the additional role of Ellison's personal stable of on-demand whipping boys as he's assailed them for everything from awful judgment to a lack of financial commitment to HP to incompetence and beyond. Maybe all of the board members have merely deflected those scathing attacks and paid them no mind—but I doubt that. Their choice of Apotheker simply cannot be assessed in any way other than being a direct—and personal—counterthrust at Ellison and Oracle. The HP board is placing what I believe is an extremely risky bet that Apotheker, whose tenure as CEO of SAP can't possibly be regarded as successful by any objective measure, has the leadership and vision and discipline to not only guide the world's largest IT company during a time of enormous internal and external change but that he'll also be able to do so while competing more aggressively and more directly and for larger and larger stakes with, separately, IBM and Oracle—two companies that have already completed extensive internal transformations and are blessed with CEOs and top-level management teams that are deep, committed, focused, and proven.
Mark Hurd: As with the HP board, it's almost impossible to imagine that Hurd has been able to traverse the past couple of months without bringing to bear a vast reservoir of personal feelings—primarily animosity toward HP, the company that deposed him for what many believe were shoddy and unconvincing reasons. By joining Oracle and by taking a #2 or #2A role after being #1 for so long, Hurd is clearly looking for some opportunities to rip market share away from not only IBM but also HP, whose sheer mass--$130 billion in annual revenue—marks it as the biggest target in the market. Anyone who believes that business isn't personal doesn't understand business—and in the case of the very talented Mark Hurd, I think he's going to make his work with regard to competing with HP very, very personal.
Leo Apotheker: Maybe HP's new CEO sees all the media and analyst commentary about him—that he was an uninspired choice, or unproven, or unsuitable, or just plain wrong for the job—and maybe he just shrugs his shoulders without even letting the criticism register. Maybe Apotheker couldn't care less that Larry Ellison says he was rendered "speechless" by HP's decision to hire him, and that Ellison calls him a failure. Or maybe HP's new CEO will blend into his thinking the idea that if it's a fight Ellison wants, then it's a fight Ellison will get, and may the best company win, and that in such a scrap there's no room for this "partnership" hooey.
Larry Ellison: I have said before that nothing Larry Ellison does is by coincidence. After the first round of disagreements and name-calling with HP, I think he was at least willing to bury that hatchet and resume what had been a productive quarter-century partnership. But the Apotheker hire will lead to the breakup of that long-term alliance because Ellison cannot help but take that decision by the HP board—whose widescale resignations Ellison has called for—as an unmistakable declaration of war: for systems, for software, for cloud computing, and for the hearts and wallets of CIOs looking for big, powerful, and brilliant IT partners on whom to bet tens and hundreds of millions of dollars and the future health of those customers' companies.
Bill McDermott: As SAP's current co-CEO said in his upbeat message of congratulations about HP's hiring of Apotheker, "this move only sets the stage for an even deeper relationship between our two companies." As SAP and IBM begin to compete more aggressively in fields such as analytics, it will be difficult for them to retain the depth and richness of their own long-standing relationship and that would make it quite convenient for HP and SAP to begin figuring out new ways to make lots more beautiful music together.

Washington, Jan. 1 (Xinhua-ANI): U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a blood clot between her brain and skull behind the right ear, but will make a full recovery, her doctors have said.
The Sunday check on Clinton indicated that there is a blood clot 'in the vein that is situated in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear,' her doctors said in a statement.
They noted that the chief U.S. diplomat has not suffered any 'stroke or neurological damage'.
Clinton is making 'excellent progress' in her recovery, the doctors said, adding that 'they are confident she will make a full recovery'.
Clinton's spokesman Philippe Reines said on Sunday night that she was hospitalized with blood clot, and is being treated with anti-coagulant.
Reines said Clinton is being treated at the New York- Presbyterian Hospital and she will be staying there for some 48 hours in order to allow her doctor to determine if any further action is needed.
Clinton has encountered a number of health problems recently. On December 15, she fainted and hit her head, consequently sustaining a concussion.
Prior to that, she canceled her scheduled trip to North Africa and the Middle East due to a stomach virus.
Clinton, 65, has said she will step down as secretary of state when President Barack Obama finishes his first term. Obama has tapped Democratic Senator John Kerry as her successor. (Xinhua-ANI)

Having multiple threads running in your application the right way certainly can make it run more efficiently and be responsive, to just name a few advantages. MTCopy has this advantage.
It starts by spawning a number of threads to cooperatively perform I/O operations (multiple files multiple threads scenario, MMT) and divides large files to be copied into several sector aligned blocks (single file multiple threads scenario, SMT) if necessary, whereby you don't have to have your program blocked until a lengthy I/O operation is finished in the single thread scenario.
But certainly, the more threads you have doesn't mean the more efficiency you will get, you have to take the thread context switching overheads into consideration; otherwise, the program will spend much of its precious CPU time on context switching instead of on real work it should do.
The MTCopy application was developed to be a command line tool, so in order to run it, you need to specify the command line containing "[source file/folder] [destination file/folder] /t: [how many threads will be created during the copying process] /b: [the buffer size in KB/MB used during copying] /l: [threshold over which files of a certain size will be divided into small blocks and copied multithreadedly]". Once it starts to run, it will create a log file named "MTCopy.txt" under the c: drive root.
So you can copy a folder like: "MTCopy.exe "I:\Something" "I:\Something_" /t:2 /b:5m /l:10m" (using two threads for multiple file copying; for single file copying, use another two threads only when its size is equal to or over 10MB), or simply copy a large single file multithreadedly by using: "MTCopy.exe "I:\Something\something.wmv" "I:\Something_" /t:2 /b:5m /l:10m". It is recommended that the buffer size specified should be a multiple of the sector size; that way, the program will directly allocate that amount of memory instead of adjusting the buffer size such that it will be sector aligned.
Please note: the [source file/folder] and [destination file/folder] options should be double quoted; otherwise, they will be interpreted as several options if spaces exist in between.

Room: 134
Coordinator of Undergraduate and Graduate Music Education, Dr. Kyle Chandler is in his fifth year at Arkansas State University. Chandler teaches choral methods, founded and conducts Delta Vox – a Vocal Jazz/Contemporary A Cappella Ensemble, formerly directed the Chamber Singers, teaches graduate music education courses, advises Master's Theses and Capstone Projects, and serves on department, college, and university committees. Additionally, he is active in research, serves in professional organizations, and is the Head Distance Coach for the ASU Cross Country and Track & Field teams.
Helping undergraduate and graduate students grow into music teacher leaders is at the core of what drives Chandler's passion for educating. "I get a huge kick out of watching students get better at what they want to do. It is a blast helping individuals find their dreams and partnering with them to identify the goals needed to achieve those dreams."
Chandler knows something about finding your dream and working hard to reach it. "I'm living my dream job. I get to do music and sports – everyday – and get paid for doing what is fun! I don't know how many people get to do that in life, but I do. I'm thankful that at Arkansas State I've been supported to teach music and coach athletics." Chandler added that if ASTATE can support him in his dreams, certainly ASU students are encouraged and supported likewise.
Prior to his ASU appointment, Chandler worked at Washington State University in Pullman, WA. While there his responsibilities included teaching choral music education courses, directing the University Singers, teaching individual voice, and supervising student teachers. Additionally, Chandler functioned as the liaison with the College of Education and was the assessment coordinator for the Boeing ACE grant, a youth outreach program focused on developing leadership skills through music and the arts. Prior to the WSU position, he served as a graduate part-time instructor in music education while completing Ph.D. coursework at the University of Colorado-Boulder.
Dr. Chandler has significant public school music teaching experience having taught for twelve years in Colorado, eight of those at Mountain View High School. Choirs and individuals under his direction earned many All-State and Regional Honor Choir berths as well as numerous Superior (I) Festival ratings, highlighted by the 2003 Outstanding Vocal Jazz Choir award in Colorado.
Jim Elsberry (Midland Lutheran University in Fremont, NE) as well as Galen Darrough, Howard Skinner, John Davis, Brad Rees, and Teresa Fraser (while at the Univ. of Northern Colorado in Greeley) have all provided Chandler with significant mentorship in developing his choral conducting skills. Several ensembles in which he sang under the direction of these individuals performed at State and Regional professional conventions, and as a member of UNC Vocal Jazz I was presented with the Down Beat magazine award for Outstanding College Vocal Jazz Choir.
Elza Daugherty (Univ. of Northern Colorado) as well as James Austin, Margaret Berg, Martina Miranda, Daniel Sher, Susan Williamson, and Susan Jurow (while at the Univ. of Colorado in Boulder) helped shape Chandler's approach to music education and research. Chandler's dissertation, A Survey of Choral Methods Instructors at NASM-Accredited Institutions: Pedagogical Content Knowledge Orientation and the Choral Methods Class, serves as one foundation for his research. Dr. Joshua Russell and Dr. Lori Gray have been contributors to Chandler's research culminating in presentations and publications at the state, regional and national levels.
He and his wife, Jamie, have been blessed with nine children. The family resides in Jonesboro, Ark.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/10/2013 (1418 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
ON the cusp of their last regular-season home game, members of the University of Manitoba football team still hold the thrill of their first win fresh in their minds.
It's hard to believe how the season has flown by as the Bisons sit at 3-2 and are battling for a prime playoff berth.
If all goes well in their next three tilts there could be another Bisons game at Investors Group Field this year, a playoff this time. Still, it's strange to possibly, with this Saturday afternoon's battle against the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds, be seeing the last game action in the stadium this year.
"If you blink, you're going to miss the season," said quarterback Jordan Yantz before heading into Thursday practice with his squad.
Well, it's been a heck of a ride. Since that Aug. 30 home tilt against Alberta, the one that ended in a wild 65-41 win in front of thousands of riled-up fans, the Bisons still haven't quite gotten over the comfort of the new digs. If players aren't in the weight room, they say, they have wireless Internet set up to do homework and couches to kick back and swap tips about the games.
"Our whole team basically lives in there," said second-year defensive back Connor Lesperance, named Canada West football's defensive player of the week after a razzle-dazzle showing against the visiting Regina Rams last weekend. "We're all in there eight hours a day."
That, players agreed, has paid off in their play: coach Brian Dobie has said this group has the most fight of any Bisons team he's known. That was certainly on display the last time the Bisons played the Thunderbirds, a thrilling last-minute 36-34 win in B.C., and it showed in last Saturday's homecoming game, where Lesperance came off the bench to gobble up two interceptions and help paste the Regina Rams 34-15.
That's looking backwards, though, when the Bisons have a big task ahead. After their stunning loss at home in Week 3, the Thunderbirds will be seeking vengeance Saturday, and the Bisons are hungry to keep clawing ahead, especially with tough Saskatchewan looming after next week's bye.
"We're kind of in a must-win basis for the rest of the season," Yantz said.
Still, a moment of reflection: Yantz was one of Canadian university football's hottest recruits coming into this season, and he chose Winnipeg based on Dobie's "above and beyond" recruiting. Heck, the Bisons even picked up a passel of the pivot's junior Vancouver Island Raiders teammates to surround him with. But the stadium, that was a very big part. So far, it has met all of his expectations.
"The best decision of my life," he said.
Now, one more chance -- but, he hopes, not the last -- to play in front of these Bisons fans. Kickoff against the Thunderbirds is slated for 1 p.m., and after last weekend's game was blanketed by chilly rain, Yantz and Lesperance said they hope to see fans turn out for one last regular-season hurrah.
"We've had some pretty tight, close nail-biting games and fourth-quarter games," Yantz said. "I think it's exciting football to watch, and fans have put in a good showing for us."

Popular streaming music service Spotify introduced Spotify Connect in September, a new feature that allows users to stream their music to a pair of capable speakers over a wireless internet connection. The feature was initially rolled out to iOS devices, but thanks to a recent update, Android users can now join the party with their $9.99/month Premium Account subscription, Engadget reports.
Let's say a user is rocking out to his or her favorite band on their Android phone on the way home from work. Once home, the new feature allows that album or playlist to be continued on a Wi-Fi-connected home stereo system simply by tapping the speaker icon located to the right of the navigation bar, which opens up a list of devices connected to their home network available to stream music.
From Handset to Music Controller
Although the sound is emitting from an external stereo system, the user still plays DJ from the Android device. The handset allows the user to play and pause music, cue up additional tracks, and browse through the app's extensive library. Android-driven control of one's home stereo system is a tremendous luxury, though the number of compatible systems is still limited.
Spotify-Compatible Hardware
Spotify hardware partners currently include manufacturers such as Denon, Philips, Pioneer, Revo, and Yamaha. These companies offer hardware with built-in chips capable of communicating with Spotify's technology. The good news is that more names could be added to the hardware partners list before the end of the year.
Some existing partners were not included in this particular initiative, creating a bit of confusion in some cases. Wireless speaker maker Sonos, which produces hardware for the basic Spotify service, found itself right in the middle of the controversy. "They asked us to participate, and we didn't," Sonos CEO John MacFarlane said in an interview with Gigaom. Instead, Sonos seems to be pushing forward with new speaker hardware that is more on par with Google's Chromecast device.
Stacked Against the Competition
Spotify Connect isn't necessarily a revolutionary feature. However, it carves out a competitive edge ahead of similar music-streaming technologies. For instance, Bluetooth-based systems enable devices to stream music to a single set of speakers, but this feature does so without the need for pairing, which can be rather tedious when compatibility issues come into play. Since it streams over Wi-Fi connections, users enjoy a far greater range than what Bluetooth offers, opening up opportunities for easily sharing music with friends nearby.
Spotify's premium streaming also has an advantage over Apple's Airplay, which allows Mac and iOS users to stream music from their iTunes libraries to select Apple equipment, but are limited to that specific task. Spotify Connect gives users the freedom to multitask—texting, answering phone calls, or whatever else they need to do, without stopping their jam session.
Spotify Connect is no doubt a cool concept, but there are some adoption barriers, mainly the cost of hardware and Wi-Fi limitations. Will cool be compelling enough to make this feature a lucrative asset users can depend on for the foreseeable future?

There is always industry concern whenever a new disease turns up, and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus (PEDv) is no exception. The disease is deadly for young pigs, with nearly 100 percent mortality. Older pigs typically will get sick but usually recover.
The American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) reports weekly data from the National Association of Animal Health Laboratory Network on the number of hog farms with new cases of PEDv. By the first of September, more than 525 farms were confirmed to have the disease.
"As is typical, the number of cases grew very fast at first, but has slowed a bit recently," says Ron Plain, agricultural economist at the University of Missouri (see chart). "Hopefully, we won't see a rebound in new cases this winter. "
While a general overview on number of herds with confirmed cases of PEDv is important, it doesn't tell us how many pigs have actually died, or how markets may be impacted this winter and next year.
"A PEDv outbreak on a farm will reduce the number of hogs shipped to packers four to six months after the outbreak," says Ron Plain, agricultural economist at the University of Missouri. "Thus far, most of the pigs that have died from PEDv are pigs that would have been slaughtered during the fourth quarter of 2013. Fourth-quarter hog slaughter is the highest of the year and fourth-quarter hog prices are the lowest of the year.
"I think it is reasonable to say that because of PEDv, hog slaughter during the fourth quarter of 2013 will be 0.5 to 1 percent lower than it otherwise would have been," he continues.
What About the Winter Pig Crop?
Everyone hopes the disease is on the decline, but Plain says if PEDv spreads faster during the winter, as many diseases do, then it could cause larger pig losses from the winter pig crop, which is the smallest of the year.
"It could reduce hog slaughter next summer by 1 percent to 2 percent or more," he says. "This, in turn, would boost hog prices next summer, when slaughter is typically light and hog prices are high," he says.
Total Losses Unknown
While we know how many herds have reported the virus, we don't know how many pigs have actually died from PEDv, or the size of the herds impacted.
"Undoubtedly, more farms have PEDv than is reported in the official count," says Plain. "I think it is reasonable to estimate that the official count of infected farms is less than half of the actual total. I suspect small farms are less likely to pay for the confirmation test than large ones. If this is true, then the non-reported farms with PEDv are losing fewer pigs because they have fewer pigs to lose."

Room quality
Fantastic place for a city break.
Great place to stay, centrally located, very easy access to everything.
Nice to know that car and contents were secure. Apartment well equipped for a short break. Only downside was noise from outside (pub next door; had to have windows open as the weather was warm during our stay.

Detailed Description:
Bipolar type II depression is a very frequent condition for which we still have a significant lack of acute treatments. There is now consistent evidence that light-therapy treatment produced a significant decrease of depressive symptoms for seasonal and non-seasonal unipolar depression. But there are no long-term studies of light therapy for the treatment of non-seasonal unipolar depression. It is also important to note that many of these studies involved co-therapy with antidepressant drugs or sleep-deprivation, making the interpretation of the results even more difficult.
Therefore, we propose to study the efficacy and safety of light therapy for the treatment of bipolar type II patients relapsing into a depressive phase during the period of September to mid-March. This will be a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study. Bipolar II out-patients will be recruited from our bipolar disorders program and from our 5 general psychiatry out-patient clinics. We will recruit bipolar type II patients facing a depressive phase and after they give their informed consent and we had verified they meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria, they will be randomized blindly to Bright-light (10 000 lux) vs Dim-light placebo (100 lux) therapies. Both, patient and investigator/rater will be blind to the type of light treatment assigned to the patient. The light therapy will take place during 30 minutes daily in the morning AFTER the usual awakening time of the patient in order to avoid even partial sleep deprivation which would confound the results if we were to observe a greater switch rate into mania or hypomania.
Reasons for study termination can be serious side-effects, development of suicidal ideations or hypomanic/manic symptoms, patient's own decision, or any other of the exclusion criteria being fulfilled during the course of the study.
Depressive and manic/hypomanic symptoms, quality of life, sleep quality and side-effects will be assessed at baseline and during the study. Biological parameters will also be measured along the study. We think that this study will allow us to determine the efficacy and safety of a 5 weeks bright light therapy for Bipolar type II depression and provide open label data as to the long term benefits of this treatment if prolonged over 5 weeks during the "dark" months of the year.

The seed for this whole project comes from two personal disappointments:
- My disappointment that the systems within Traveller
were so different from the basic framework of D&D. (Probably
unfair because it's a cool game in it's own right.)
- My disappointment with the thread of developments within the
Star Wars universe after Return of the Jedi.
I've never really been keen on the d6-based system of WEG's Star Wars RPG either, come to think of it. It just seemed like a natural fit to apply the Star Wars milieu to the basic mechanics of D&D in a way that avoided over-complication and allowed for maximum referee creativity and idiosyncrasy.
To accomplish this I know I have to limit myself in terms of page-count. I want 32 pages of essential rules for running Star Wars campaigns and nothing more. Something that breaks down like this (or nearly so):
- Ability Scores section [2 pages]
- Strength
- Dexterity
- Constitution
- Intellect
- Perception
- Charisma
- Character Types (in lieu of the term "Races" because droids are non- or only semi-biological and do not normally self-propagate) [5]
- Human
- Standard
- Cyborg
- Droid
- Protocol Droid
- R2 Unit
- Basic Combat Droid
- Rodian
- Twi'lek
- Wookiee
- Character Classes [5]
- Bounty Hunter
- Force-user
- Adept
- Jedi
- Sith
- Rogue
- Ex-Soldier
- Smuggler
- Experience Tables [2]
- Saving Throws [2]
- vs Chemical
- vs Disease
- vs Psionics
- vs Radiation
- vs Trauma (physical)
- Combat Procedures [2]
- Equipment and Weapons [4]
- Space Travel [4]
- The Force [4]
- Bestiary Tables [2]

Thank you Beth for this recipe! (Check out her blog). After finishing his first bowl, Mark asked when I would be making this again. And my kids licked their bowls clean!
3 bacon strips, diced
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 cups chicken broth
2 large (already) BAKED potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup half-and-half cream
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Shredded Cheddar cheese
Minced fresh parsley
In a large saucepan, cook bacon until crisp. Drain, reserving 1
tablespoon drippings. Set bacon aside. Saute onion and garlic in the
drippings until tender. Stir in flour, salt, basil and pepper; mix
well. Gradually add broth. Bring to boil; boil and stir for 2 minutes.
Add the potatoes, cream and hot pepper sauce; heat through but do not
boil. Garnish with bacon, cheese and parsley.

Adwords - Competitor Ads?
April 2012
My competitor's are US based websites/companies, but that target 100% intnerational customers.
I've been doing different keyword searches on Google US, and I've noticed that adword ads appear for their website on Google US.
This strikes me as weird because why would they want to target Google US if their customer base is 100% international? I don't now why they wouldn't exclude Google US from their adwords campaign since it would attract clicks from US users?
The only answer I could think of as to why they would want to include Google US is if international customers are going to Google US to perform searches. But how often do international customers actually search on Google US?
I know when I search I just use Google US since I'm from the US. And I'm guessing users in the UK use Google UK, users in AU use Google AU, and users in CA use Google CA.
So I'm not sure if I'm missing something, and maybe I should also include the US in my adwords campaign just in case international customers use Google US to search?
Thank you,
Re: Adwords - Competitor Ads?
April 2012
I was just poking around in Adwords.
If I exclude USA from my targeted locations; will my ad still show for international located users searching on Google US and my ad won't show to US users searching on Google US?
For example, I would like to show my ads in Google UK and Google US but only to intenrational UK users that search either on Google US or Google UK. I don't want my ads to appear to US located users that search on Google US. Is this possilbe to do with Adwords?
Thank you!
Re: AdWords targeting[ Edited ]
April 2012 - last edited April 2012
Hello olimits7;
Let's start by saying that "targeting" is one of the complex tasks on AdWords. (There is targeting by location, targeting by intent, a combination of two, an exclusion of geo-targeting and intent, I can name also "topics" and "audiences". I'm sure I forgot a few others ...) AdWords targeting keeps changing constantly, since it's the "holy grail" of every advertiser. (Just two days ago targeting tab was completely revamped.)
I will put aside all other targeting options. (Otherwise, this will be an endless post), and focus on geo-targeting.:
- We can say that the primary engineering technique Google uses for geo-targeting, is the user's IP address (I will just quickly say, that there are exceptions for that, without elaborating, to keep explanation simple and to the point.)
- A Google domain - a user is signed into (google.co.uk, Google.fr, Google .de....) is primary intended to identify the user's language. So, a user can still uses Google.fr, but, be "physically" present in the US, and be excluded or targeted by geo-targeting (depending if US is targeted or excluded. The question whether this user gets to see ads in English when using a UI (user interface) in French, being located in the US. Is again, a separate subject. - Do you see how complex this can get ?)
My wild bet?: your competitor's AdWords geo-targeting is not configured properly: they are targeting the whole world, either because they haven't set targeting , or they set it wrong.
Re: AdWords targeting
April 2012
Thanks for your reply!
So is it safe to say that if I target UK and exclude US; regardless if a UK user located in the UK uses google.com or google.co.uk that my ads would still display for them?
Thank you!
Re: AdWords targeting
April 2012
Since we are talking on English language; to put it simple: the answer is YES. (i.e: if you target the UK, and the user is located in the UK, and he uses either google,com or google.co.uk, - he will see your ad. )
Re: AdWords targeting
April 2012
Ok, great...thank you!
1. And I'm guessing the same holds true with Australia and Canada; right?
2. Is this not true if it wasn't in the English language? For example, target Germany exclude US and the user is located in Germany and he uses either google.com or google.de to search; will my ads still appear on both sites?
3. I'm having a hard time selecting the options I need to be able to show my ads only to physically located UK users that search either on google.com (us) or google.co.uk (uk). The physically located UK users can perform searches relating to the US; however, any physically located US users will not see my ads at all. Do the following selections I currently have setup for my adwords campaign below accomplish this?
Target: UK
Target: People in my targeted location
Exclude: US
Exclude: People in my excluded location
I re-read a bunch a times what Google has written for these options; which the wording kind of throws me off, but I think the setting above should be correct for what I'm trying to accomplist?
Thank you, again!
Re: AdWords targeting
April 2012
Hi olimits7,
In addition (if I may), I would like to say that there is no need to to exclude any location which you actually haven't targeted in your Campaign settings. See this for more details.
I would also like to add that in case you have international customers, try to create separate campaigns for separate countries because by doing this, you will have more flexibility in terms of time zones, languages, ad scheduling, any special offers (country special) etc...which can be taken of while creating different campaigns.
Just a thought!
Re: AdWords location targeting
April 2012
Why do you want to exclude the US, if you target only the UK ?
- "Remember, there's no need to exclude areas that you haven't already targeted -- we won't show your ...
Look for details instructions how to target a specific country here
(IF it was not English - It's a complete new ball game....much more complicated.... Since you are targeting English-speaking countries, I would recommend: "one step at a time"... )

Re: AdWords location targeting
April 2012
Ok, thank you...I will definitely create different campaigns for different countries!
I currently changed my Adwords campaign for the UK to the following; I believe this setting is correct to what I'm trying to accomplish:
[Show my ads only to physically located UK users that search either on google.com (us) or google.co.uk (uk). The physically located UK users can perform searches relating to the US; however, any physically located US users will not see my ads at all.]
Target: UK
Target: People in my targeted location
- Your ad can appear for anyone who is likely to be physically located in your targeted location, even if she shows interest in other locations.
I was unsure if I should have selected "Target: People in, searching for, or viewing pages about my targeted location (recommended)", but based on reading what it says in the tool-tip for this selection I don't believe this is what I want selected. I don't want my ads to appear for anyone who is located "anywhere" and searches for or view web pages about my targeted location. I just want to target UK users but my ads have nothing to do with the UK location just the UK users and the US location.
- Your ad can appear for anyone who is likely to be physically located in your targeted location, in addition to anyone who is located anywhere and searches for or view web pages on the Google Display Network about your targeted location. People can show interest in locations through terms used in their searches, content that they view online, or other methods.
Thank you,

One Direction, 'Best Song Ever' – Song Review
Let's get it out of the way now. Yes, the first 20 seconds and the intro of One Direction's new single 'Best Song Ever,' which factors into their 'This Is Us' documentary trailer and precedes their next album, sounds like the Who's classic 'Baba O'Riley.' It has to be intentional and an homage, since it's that obvious. But that's where the similarities end, people.
So, no, there's no mention of a "teenage wasteland" or any sort of social issues moving forward. It was, however, refreshing to have 1D throw us for a loop there.
Once the 20-second "tribute" (or rip-off, depending on 'Who' you ask) is over and done with, it morphs into a signature 1D track. The boys harmonize smoothly and celebrate dancing all night to the best song ever. It's flirty, fluffy and fun. So in essence, it's what you expect from Harry, Zayn, Liam, Louis and Niall at this point.
It's a balanced song, vocally speaking, as we hear all the boys and their voices. It doesn't feel like any of the 1Ders take the lead, instead choosing to share the mic equally.
'Best Song Ever' is anthemic, as are most 1D songs, but could it really be anything else with a title like that?
There's some synths in the chant and the singalong that comes at the 2:15 mark. It's a song that is perfect for prom, the 8th grade dance and any other teen rites of passage that you can think of.
It sounds like it's Zayn Malik gettin' his falsetto on at the end, around the 2:58 mark through the fade out, too.
'Best Song Ever' is a cute and cray cray catchy 1D song that embeds itself in your memory the more you listen to it. It's also one of those songs that you needn't overthink. Listen to it because it feels good. After all, isn't that what music is about in its purest form?
The song is a pop gem that's not quite as catchy as 'Live While We're Young' or 'Kiss You,' nor is it 1D's best song ever. Still, it's pretty freakin' good.

LsFarm wrote:The aeronautical trick to keeping an airplane flyable when exceeding Mach 1 [speed of sound] was to sweep the leading edge of the wings, tail and horizontal stabilizer back at at least 20-30*...
the reason is that as the airfoil, wing, tail etc goes through the sound barrier there is a pressure 'wall' created.. at the point where the speed of sound is first exceeded.. Air has to accelerate around a surface, bump or object.. so as this pressure wall or wave moved along the wing,,or the horizontal stab. the pressure wave would interfere with the moveable control surface on the trailing edge of the wing [ailerons] the tail [rudder] and horizontal stabilizer [elevator]... the pressure wave would cause violent vibrations, violent flutter, and pieces would come off the plane.. there were instances where the controls did 'reverse' but only for a few seconds..
When the wing or control surface is swept back at an angle,, the pressure wave only hits part of the wing or surface at a time.. so the entire pressure wave was not on the entire wing all the time.. the pressure wave was leaving the trailing edge of the wing a little at a time.. and was effecting the control surfaces very little..
Even today, with swept wings,, I've experienced what is called 'aileron buzz' when near the aircraft's speed limit.. most private jets and airliners fly at between .75 and .90 of the speed of sound.. because somewhere the air is near the speed of sound...

Christina Applegate is rocking quite an engagement ring.
On Saturday night, the newly engaged actress, 38, briefly flashed her bling while strolling through Los Angeles International Airport.
No word on a wedding date -- but she is likely keeping that under wraps.
Her pal Alyssa Milano tells UsMagazine.com Applegate kept her engagement to Porno for Pyros rocker Martyn LeNoble "a secret from everyone." She said she is "thrilled" for Applegate, her costar in the upcoming comedy Hall Pass. "They are an amazing couple," she told Us, "and I think they are great."

It has probably been hard to follow all my injuries in the last few months. Once one gets better another one starts bugging me it seems. I don't even remember which was the first. I know I had my left foot hurt for a while, thought it might be PF but luckily it went away with some short rest. I know my left knee bugged me too and I skipped a week of training because of it.
Then came the right foot, top of my foot, pain. By that point I had a friend coaching me and we dealt with that one, but again, there were missed runs. A lot of runs cut short after trying and having my foot stop me. I had to stop after 9 miles of my only 20 miler of this training session.
And last but not least, my right knee. Felt like a jointy pain at first. Rested a lot. Tried running on soft surfaces, tried biking. Everything bothered it.
So then comes Sunday. I did a 5 mile trail race. This will count as the RR because it wasn't exactly a "race" for me. Before the knee thing I had wondered if I could get an age group award. They go 5 deep in 5 year age groups so they give away a ton of coffee cups! But I wasn't thinking about that come race day. The goal was to finish without my knee brining me to tears. I was hopeful that being on soft surfaces would at least help. Eh nope. I started out with DBF and asked if he wanted me to run with him. Maybe taking it slow with him would be better for me. He said I didn't have to and I didn't last too long before I felt like I wanted to run. Not like I was sprinting or anything but I hadn't run much in so long it felt nice to finally be moving again.
I made it a mile pain free which was actually not bad now that I think about it. Then it hurt for a few minutes. I wondered how much I would be walking. After that it hurt on and off the rest of the race. When it didn't hurt I'd take advantage of it and run a little faster. I just wanted to get to the finish line so I could stop running. When it hurt I slowed down and dealt with it. Walked the steep ups. Sadly it usually hurt on the downs. I love running downhill! So that was disappointing to me. I just kept moving until the end and was so happy to be able to sit.
I waited for DBF (who shaved three minutes off his time from last year! And note, he does not train for the races he does). We looked at the results. Turns out I was 6th in my AG. Didn't get a cup but that's ok. Then we hightailed it out of there because it was freezing.
So after the race the knee hurt pretty good. But it was more the the outside of my knee so my coach said it was probably my ITB. I went home, stretched like normal, stretched my piriformis which may have never been stretched before, and did some exercises that were meant to help. The rest if that day is hurt pretty bad. I wasn't hopeful.
Come Monday I got a massage which helped. Did more stretching and plenty of foam rolling. And by the end of the day it didn't hurt! That was a relief.
But I still haven't ran since Sunday. And that little 5 mile run hurt. I have a marathon Sunday. So add, oh 4 hours to that 5 mile run... Will it be 4 hours of pain? Am I ready to run a marathon at all? I did one 15, one 17 and one 19 mile run. Those were all my runs over a half marathon during training. And every one of those had at least one weekend after it of barely any run because something hurt. I've even told I'll be fine because I have a base to go from. But do I? I ran a marathon last November, yes, and the 50K the week after. But then I was out of commission for a month with stitches. And after that I went through nearly a month of mild depression and not wanting to run. I don't know if a base carries over through all that.
I'm excited for the weekend (I told DBF this morning that I haven't been this excited to go to Ohio since I was young and we used to go to Cedar Point, which was about the only reason to go to Ohio sorry Ohio Loopsters). The party part of the weekend will be great. Hanging out with so many Loopsters and meeting so many new ones is keeping me excited to go. The 5 or so hours I have to run Sunday, well I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to that part or if I'm completely 100% scared of it. I feel almost like before my first marathon. But then I was afraid I wouldn't finish. Now I'm just worried about how much it will hurt.
Even if I don't have much or a base or training to go off of, I know I am stubborn enough to run this thing. It'll have to be pretty bad for me to quit. And enforce everyone starts worrying, I won't run through something that will be really damaging. I'm going to start the race, listen to my body, and see how things go.
I really hope that I have nothing to worry about. I hope it is fun the whole time and I have no pain. Always have to have hope, right? Hopefully next time I'm on here I'll have finished marathon #5 and I'll have a little time for my body to heal up and get back on board with this running thing. Now I just have to pack.
