text: Velvick Back – With Enthusiasm Steve Wright, OutdoorChannel.com Velvick Back – With Enthusiasm Veteran angler returns to TV in 'Guides' Eyes' DEL RIO, Texas — The Spanish word "amistad" means "friendship" in English. "Lake Amistad" means "love" to Byron Velvick. This lake on the Texas-Mexico border is where Velvick's bucking-bronco-ride of a life finally started to smooth."It's so pristine," Velvick saie. "There's nobody here. I hated to leave once I got here."He got here in 2006 and stayed a couple of months while practicing before the Bassmaster Elite Series season. He immediately started buying property around the 65,000-acre lake.Unwavering in Velvick – for almost 50 years now – has been his lust for life. When he gets thrown off the horse, he always pops up, ready for another go. Click image for the photo gallery: Velvick's enthusiasm is on full display in the Outdoor Channel series "Guides' Eyes." The show features local fishing guides on their home waters. First-season locations range from Stuart, Fla., (tarpon, snook, grouper) to Nevada's Lake Mead (largemouth bass, stripers) to Costa Rica (sailfish, mahi mahi, rooster fish). It promises, and delivers, fun and adventure."We wanted to call the show "Through The Eyes of a Guide," but that title was just too long," Velvick said. "The goal was to find the very best guides and show why they're so good at what they do."Mission accomplished, if Season One is any indication. On one show, Velvick lands a 212-pound yellowfin tuna offshore from Venice, La., after slamming redfish and black drum inshore the previous day. There are many other highlights, but that's the "big fish story" from Season One. Velvick, 48, retains his charm and good looks – the primary reasons why he was selected in 2004 for "The Bachelor" in the sixth season of the ABC-TV reality/dating series. And he still has a mop of hair that would make any 18-year-old proud. But there are crow's feet beside his eyes now. And Velvick has some wisdom that comes only with experience.Undiminished is that child-like glee, a quality that seems long ago abraded for most at Velvick's age. If possible, that joy seems cranked another notch when Velvick launches a boat in Lake Amistad, as he did one mid-December day last year."There's a world of life here in 100 feet of water, where most places have none," Velvick said. "Grass grows 30- and 35-feet deep here." Velvick proved his point shortly after launch. His Lowrance HDS-10 sonar graph lit-up like the Las Vegas Strip. The sonar screen appeared comically crowded with fish of all sizes, from baitfish schools near the surface to the big arches below them, at every depth in 40 feet of water.Within minutes, Velvick started producing the reality of that sonar screen – catching one fish after another. Mostly he caught largemouth bass, but there were white bass and stripers in the mix – the Lake Amistad Slam. (There's a "Guides' Eyes" episode about that, too.)"This lake has more carnivores than any other place I've been," he said. "It's insane."Velvick is recognized as an authority on fishing swimbait lures – the imitators of swimming baitfish that come in all shapes, sizes and materials, from soft-plastic to hand-carved wood."This lake is great for swimbait fishing," he said.Lake Amistad was a key point when swimbait bass fishing went from a regional technique to a national craze. The March 2006 tournament on Lake Amistad was the second event in the Elite Series' initial season. Ish Monroe won with 20 bass over four days that totaled 104 pounds, 8 ounces. The top 10 finished with over 90 pounds each. The Elites came back the next year, and Derek Remitz won with 111-7 in another slugfest.Swimbaits didn't account for all the bass caught in those tournaments at Lake Amistad, but they were a staple.A five-inch soft-plastic swimbait produced Velvick's biggest bass on this December morning – a five-pounder on a lake where the record largemouth is 15.68 pounds, so nothing to get excited about. But the potential for a lunker always lurks at Lake Amistad.Velvick demonstrated his love for swimbaits as a big-bass-lure by heaving an umbrella-rig loaded with four eating-size bluegill soft-plastic imitations. Repeatedly. It hurt your elbow simply to watch.Velvick's life is changing. It will soon add another chapter. This one is set in San Antonio with his wife, Belinda and their 18-month-old daughter.Velvick has spread himself thin. Del Rio is a four-hour drive from San Antonio. The 2013 Elite Series starts in March. Reality has come into focus: Hosting a TV show requiring wide-ranging travel, competing on the B.A.S.S. circuit, owning and managing a resort on Lake Amistad while nurturing a new family in San Antonio – not even Velvick's enthusiasm can swing that quartet of duties.Byron and Belinda own a home on Lake Amistad. She grew up in Del Rio. They'll always come back. But Velvick's days on the lake he loves will take a backseat now to the new loves of his life.Click here for a video on Byron Velvick's 'Guides' Eyes."Click here for the 'Guides' Eyes' show page.

CBA talks stalled after Friday's sessionby Dan Rosen
NEW YORK -- Talks between the NHL and NHLPA aimed at negotiating a new CBA stalled Friday when the Union declared that it was unwilling to discuss the reset of current player compensation that the League considers essential for a new agreement.
There are no further bargaining sessions scheduled at this point, but both sides said Friday they would be willing to resume the negotiations at any point.
The current Collective Bargaining Agreement expires Sept. 15.
"What I thought was starting as a promising week after we made our substantial counterproposal on Tuesday ends, I guess you can say, in disappointment," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. "We did not get a proposal from the Union; call it more of a response and the response basically was, as it relates to the economic issues, 'We're not going to reset. Anything we're prepared to do only comes out of future revenues and that's our position.' So there was no counterproposal or new proposal.
"We said that in light of where they are, we have nothing to propose," the Commissioner later added. "Obviously, we're not going to be in a position to bid against ourselves. And, we both agreed that when either of us has something to say, we'll pick up the phone. But in light of the fact that they were unwilling to move forward on the economics, there wasn't much else to discuss."
The counterproposal presented Tuesday by the NHL represented a $460 million improvement over the life of the proposed new agreement, as compared to the League's initial offer of July 13.
Commissioner Bettman said the League favors a longer-term deal in order to gain labor stability.
The Union's initial proposal on Aug. 14 included a players' option for a fourth year that would see their share of hockey-related revenues "snap back" to 57 percent.
Fehr said the owners objected to the terms of the players' option in the fourth year as proposed in the original Union offer, so the players attempted to address the fourth year in the response Friday by suggesting several concepts that would allow for the players' share in that fourth year to be less than 57 percent. Fehr said the Union felt solving the issues of the fourth year would allow the sides to move toward bridging the economic gaps that remain.
"The response that was made to us is that if the players are not prepared to agree to an immediate reset in their aggregate salary levels, that is to say, as we understand it, a meaningful, absolute reduction in the players' share in dollar terms for next year as compared to last year, that they see no point in discussing or responding to the proposals that we put forward at the meeting today," Fehr said.
"At this point, the talks are recessed and we will not be discussing these issues again unless and until there's an indication from the NHL that they are prepared to do so," Fehr later added. "Hopefully that will come soon."
Both sides still believe there is enough time to make a deal by Sept. 15.
"Once we get past Sept. 15, I think the dynamic changes," Commissioner Bettman said. "The damage to the business changes the dynamic of the negotiation. So, from our standpoint, we're hoping to make a deal by Sept. 15. That's how we've positioned the offers we've made. And I'm hopeful that it can still be done. There is enough time if there is a willingness to negotiate.
"The players are looking for lots of things, which I think with the right economics we would be more than prepared to do to make their life as good, even better than it is now," Commissioner Bettman added, "but we're not in the position until we know the economics -- certainly in light of the fact that we in effect got stonewalled today -- to be moving forward on other things."

Just curious. What's the deal with "Hotel Mars"? I know that there is a real hotel by that name but I'm guessing it has nothing to do with the show. And is "Episode N" just a fun thing to say if you don't want to be bothered giving an actual count?

I fell out of the blogging tree again, didn't I? But I am back now, post my breakdown.
Not mental health breakdown you understand (although if you saw the cost of the online order for dyes and fabrics I just placed, you might think so!). No, the first thing I did in my brand new wet studio ( see the video over at Tea and Talk for Two) was start to learn how to do breakdown printing with the aid of the Committed to Cloth book.
I decided to aim for a result that would remind me of the African Batiks I love to buy from The African Fabric Shop and made some screens with made up symbols on them like this. If you have never done breakdown printing this is basically dye thickened with a product called Manutex and squeezed out of a ketchup bottle and left to dry for a long time. This screen was prepared after I learned that it really does have to be thick if it is not all to run and drip through.
The next stage is to pull thickened dye and/ or plain print paste through the screen with a squeegy. at first the dried dye on the screen acts as a resist and you get negative shapes. then as it re-hydrayes it starts to breakdown and leave part of the symbols on the fabric.
My first set of fabrics were pleasing in terms of marks but I was suprised how pale they ended up.
I actually like the fragility of them but it was rather a suprise to have them end up so washed out. The solution was simple- a greater dye to print paste ratio.
This one was an early one which did come out marginally stronger. I like the frond like lines whch simply came from the creases that arose becuase I did not pin my fabric under very good tension. Therefore as I lifted the screen the wet fabric came with it and creased and I was too lazy to do anything about it. I may do that deliberately in the future.
So I made up more screens and was braver with the dyes. Talking of brave, Dennis even had a go. He hates 'mess' so this was a big moment for him! The lack of gloves is not a function of his bravery but everything to do with my stock of gloves being in my size not his!
He didn't stick around to do all the layers but this is how 'his fabric' turned out
And another with the same colours but in very different proportions and a different screen. The symbols are much less evident but I like the randomness of the colour spread.
Finally, this was one from the first batch where I wrote english letters on the screen in turquoise and pulled the screen only with plain print paste to see how that worked. However, the overcomplication department of my brain decided it was necessary to do some Da Vinci like mirror writing. It is not!
I shall be doing more of this. It's plain fun!!

Meet the SFS 2011 Board Candidates
The nominating committee of the Slow Food Seattle board of directors has completed the process of selecting a slate of 3 candidates for new board positions that will be proposed for election by voice vote at the annual meeting on Sunday, January 30th. The nominees submitted background questionnaires that were evaluated by the committee and the board. Those selected as potential candidates were interviewed by a committee member. Our criteria for selecting candidates were, who would bring balance, enhancement, and experience to help us reach our goals.
Learn a little about the candidates below by their responses to the questions we posed and more in person at the Annual Members Meeting on Sunday, January 30th.
The candidates are:
Craig Hetherington, TASTE Restaurant
Philip Lee, Readers to Eaters
Julia Wayne, Swallowing Seattle/Questionland
Are you familiar with Slow Food and if so what aspects of the organization have been of most interest to you?
CH - My understanding of the Slow Food mission is that it is focused on consumer-based education, cooking events, and get-togethers. I like that it continues to maintain and grow the community of people that are making the right choice when it comes time to buy their food. I like the people and the events that Slow Food supports to help those efforts as well.
PL - I am familiar with a number of Slow Food initiatives, such as Renewing America's Food Tradition (RAFT), US Ark of Taste, and Slow Foods in Schools. I am especially excited to see programs that preserve food traditions and outreach to youth and families to promote greater awareness on what and how we eat. Locally, I have participated in a number of Slow Food Seattle events, including the RAFT American Traditions Picnics, membership meetings, Pike Place Artisan Food Festival, and albacore canning with Jeremy Brown. I am most interested in the partnerships and outreach created with local educational programs, including Orca K-8 and the Quillisascut Farm. I would very much hope to get involved with these programs. Finally, I'm very pleased to see the launch of the SFS book club starting 2011 and plan to be actively involved to make this a regular component of the organization.
JW - The most interesting aspects for me are the Ark of Taste and the community. The Ark of Taste is fascinating to me because it is a unique opportunity to pluck from the current agriculture examples of our history and development as a region. To be able to look at a Makah Ozette potato or an Olympia oyster within the larger food system and place those foods on a map and on a timeline is very cool. I am currently reading a lot about the intersections of food and history, and the Ark of Taste seems like a good place to start investigating the history of food in this country and beyond.To me, the community represents a promise from a group of people of all ages to support the "good, clean, fair" ideals in their own lives. When I was volunteering with Gerry and Melissa at the Pike Place Artisan Food Festival, my favorite part was talking to people from other chapters of Slow Food from around the country. One couple, from Arizona, told us about how the founder of their chapter is a chef in a very conservative part of the state where there aren't a lot of like-minded, progressive people. But, they said, once every month, a group of 15-25 people gather at her restaurant for their meeting, which is held around a potluck of food made from plants and animals they grow or gather personally. The fact that this has been happening for so long and with such a solid group of committed people willing to drive for up to two hours to meet is a compelling reason to become a productive member of this community.
Which volunteer or professional organizations have you been a member and what was/is the extent of your involvement?
CH - I helped restart the Seattle chapter of the Chefs Collaborative in 2001 and was on the board for 5 years. I helped in all aspects of organizing cooking events, the farmer/fisher chef connection yearly event, cooking food for these events, coordinating chefs to meet farmers and ranchers to help develop relationships, and voting in new blood. I was the sergeant-at-arms.
PL - below
Since summer, 2010, I have been on the community advisory board with the Wing Luke Asian Museum to curate an exhibit connecting food and Asian American culture, which will open in fall 2011.
In 2010, I also joined the Northwest Farm Bill Action Group, which focuses on understanding and engaging with the 2012 Farm Bill. One project I'm heading is to bring author Dan Imhoff of Food Fight: The Citizen's Guide to a Food and Farm Bill to speak in Seattle in February 2011.
Since 2008, I have been a volunteer producer and host on the KBCS radio, focusing on food and education issues. I have covered issues such as youth obesity, the Farm to School Movement, NAFTA impact on Oaxacan migrant farm workers in the Pacific Northwest, and the increase population of immigrant farmers in Washington state.
I served on the board of Gilda's Club Seattle, a cancer support organization, from 2004 to 2009. In 2005, I led the organization's major fund raising "Red Door" campaign, which raised over $500,000. I will be rejoining the board in 2011, with a focus to connect cancer prevention and recovery with food.
I have been involved in issues relating to cultural diversity. In 2002, I served on the steering committee for the Institute for Community Involvement (ICI), and spoke with county and state committees on issues relating to education, redistricting, and social service, as well as hosting political candidate forums.
JW - I'm a joiner from way back. To give you an idea of my varied interests, I'll start in high school, where I was Vice President of the Ballard High School Key Club. As VP, I led biannual blood drives and organized many volunteer events. I was also a member of the National Honors Society. In college, I was President of Psi Chi, the National Honors Society in Psychology, and created relationships between my school (Scripps College) and mentorship programs at Pomona High School and the Los Angeles Downtown Women's Shelter, as well as hosting speaker events. After college, I was Chapter Intern for the National Organization for Women in Seattle. I helped with fundraising events and attended meetings where I served as a voting member of NOW. I am a current member of Seattle Chefs Collaborative and have attended several meet and greet events, as well as larger events, such as Farmer-Fisher-Chef Connection 2010.
Slow Food Seattle is dedicated to activities that create responsible and pleasurable experiences at the table. Please provide a brief description of your interest and activities related to such objectives.
CH - My interest in that lies in the food that I prepare at my restaurant, TASTE, where I use the relationships that I have with our farmers, fishers, and ranchers as a tool to help educate our guests on seasonality, freshness, and clean tastes. I volunteer as much as I can at events that support such efforts like Farmer-Chef-Connection, the ARK picnic, and/or speaking at events to spread the word.
PL - I am deeply committed to promoting a better understanding of what and how we eat, especially for children and families, therefore food education is very important to me. I feel it is important to know the history of our food and preserve our food traditions as this is a critical way to create a sound and sustainable ecology. I am also interested in the future of our food ways and want to take part in policy issues relating to our agricultural system. Finally, I want to encourage a dialogue about food that is culturally diverse and inclusive. Slow Food USA as well as Slow Food Seattle are already involved with many of these issues that I'm passionate about, therefore I wish to have the opportunity to serve on the board to expand on these programs. In 2009, my wife and I founded READERS to EATERS, a bookseller and publisher of books about food with a mission to promote food literacy by connecting good eats and good reads. Our goal is to promote a better understanding of how we eat and where our food comes from. Some of our activities include the following:
Partnered with the King County Library System to sponsor a food literacy series with farmers, nutritionists, and educators
Sold books about food at a variety of food events, including farmers markets, schools, farm harvest festivals, Chefs Collaborative's Farmers Fisher Chef Connection, Solid Ground Annual Dinner, International Food Blogger Conference, and Seattle Tilth Harvest Festival
Gave presentations and organized speaker panels connecting good eats and good reads to local food justice and food security organizations, such as Washington Food Coalition and Seattle Tilth
Created reading lists on food for schools, libraries, community kitchens, medical associations and food related service organizations
Created a One City Read program for the city of Auburn in partnership with the Auburn Farmers Market and Auburn Public Library, using Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma for Kids. Events included film showing, gardening presentations, author signings, and fund raising to donate copies of the book to every school in Auburn.
Launching the R2E publishing program in 2011, with first book on how to use school gardens as an educational tool.
JW - To put it simply, I love to eat, and I eat very well. I often eat at restaurants which sport the Slow Food seal of approval sticker on their window, shop at farmers markets for everything from cheese to kale, mushrooms to oysters, and I talk about my food experiences constantly. Most recently, I have been sharing my opinions in my role as Moderator for the Food & Drink category of Questionland (a website affiliated with The Stranger). In this position, I have the power to create links between the average person and experts in food and drink by featuring key people on the site to answer user questions. I also write the majority of the Questionland Food & Drink blog, Swallowing Seattle, which focuses on events, restaurants, and food trends, history, issues, etc. (more posts are currently in the editing phase). A major goal for everyone involved in the site is to promote real, sustainable, local, responsible food and food practices. We are still developing plans for how to do this most effectively, but will be starting with articles written for the blog by or about writers/food activists such as Laurel Miller and Becky Selengut.
What attributes/skills would you bring to the Board of Directors and what roles would you see yourself contributing to on the board.
CH - After being on the Chef's Collaborative board, I see the education from the industry side which could only bring a different perspective on the consumer side, which is how I understand Slow Food is focused. I love to sit with a group of like minded folks and brainstorm ideas of how to better promote the idea of buying foods locally with the understanding that it only helps our local economy.
PL - I was the co-founder of a publishing company, Lee & Low Books, and its publisher for 14 years. Prior to that I worked in magazine publishing and in the last few years have worked in radio as well as new media such as podcasting. I have extensive experience in marketing and event planning. I have also served on non-profit boards doing public advocacy and fundraising. Finally, I have worked with the local food community, from chefs, farmers, cafeteria managers, culinary instructors, public health officials to food policy advocates. I can contribute to the following areas:
Community Building & Outreach
Event Planning
JW - I am happiest when connecting people with one another as well as with events, restaurants and organizations that I feel would be positive for them. To that end, I am very resourceful and have a great memory and love of networking for myself and on behalf of organizations. I also enjoy writing and editing and worked for almost a year as the Editorial Assistant at Edible Seattle magazine. While there, I wrote many articles about cheese (my passion) and helped the Editor, Jill Lightner, with content editing, planning the content calendar, gathered events and visited other parts of the state to scout story ideas. From those experiences, I would bring to Slow Food Seattle the ability and desire to help write and/or edit written materials, such as pamphlets, newsletters, and emails. Another role I have enjoyed in other organizations, and which I would enjoy doing for Slow Food Seattle, is that of event planner. I am good at coming up with ideas for events, garnering interest from the types of people who would enjoy those events, and then aiding in planning details (event space, funding, merchandising, vendors, etc.). Although I don't know all the details of the opportunities available to Board members, I feel as though I have plenty to offer in a wide variety of areas.

Whether the size of your iTunes library outpaces your iPhone or iPod touch by a song or a mile, you've had to develop some kind of system for picking exactly which media you bring on the go. Sure, smart playlists can swap out a fresh collection of tunes and videos each time you sync, but what if you could stream your entire library and do away with having to chose altogether?
If you can hop on a WiFi hotspot either in the home or wandering elsewhere, the Embraceware Blog has a handy tip for those who just gotta have all their media at the touch of a finger. Setup isn't exactly a one-click operation, but after enabling Mac OS X's built-in Personal Web Sharing feature and performing some Terminal trickery, you'll be able to use MobileSafari and WiFi on your iPhone and iPod touch to browse your entire library and stream anything you want.
Of course, there are caveats to this trick. For starters, the library browsing UI obviously won't be as slick the iTunes implementation built into your WiFi-endowed Apple PMP (it's literally just a linked text list of all your media). Second, this should work well over the typical 802.11b/g/n network at home, but if you go the extra mile to try and stream over the web while you're out 'n about, you could experience reliability issues and throttling on behalf of the ISPs you're streaming through. Still, it's a good trick that isn't too hard to set up, and it might help ease the pain of a 4, 8 or even 16GB storage crunch until flash memory matures into the sizes we're all craving.

DETROIT, May 28 (UPI) -- Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is serving a 28-year prison sentence on federal corruption charges, including racketeering, bribery and fraud.
But his former friend and aide, Derrick Miller, might fare much better.
Miller, who was once a member of Kilpatrick's inner circle, faces 10 years in prison for his role in the City Hall corruption scandal.
Federal prosecutors have asked for a 40-month prison sentence because of Miller's cooperation with authorities, but Miller's legal team has argued for probation.
"Mr. Miller respectfully requests that the court impose a non-jail sentence based on his substantial assistance to authorities, his essential and truthful testimony, remorse, and overall history of outstanding public service," his lawyer Byron Pitts said Tuesday.
Miller, 44, met Kilpatrick in high school and went on to become the former mayor's chief administrative officer. He pled guilty to bribery in a deal with prosecutors, who called on him as a key witness against Kilpatrick.
"During five days on the witness stand, Miller provided an insider's firsthand perspective to the jury of a city administration that had cast off its ethical moorings in the pursuit of personal gain. Miller should be punished for his own serious abuses of the public trust," prosecutors wrote in a memo. "But the significant evidence he offered the jury about the grave wrongdoing of others -- corroborated by text messages, city records and other trial witnesses -- warrants a significant downward departure from his guideline range of imprisonment."
Miller will be sentenced on Thursday.

Be Ready for Anything (ANYTHING) With The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
This fall, Douglas Adams nerds will have the granddaddy of all iOS apps to show off to their friends. Whether they actually care or not. Hothead Games, in a somewhat obvious attempt to prove that the entire planet owes them a drink, is making a "real" Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for the iPhone and iPad. I'm not talking about an e-book or movie companion or any of that mundane stuff, but a fully realized and interactive rendition of the iconic inter-stellar travel guide.
It's hard to come up with words to say about this news when my brain keeps going "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
Pushing on, there's no definitive release date yet aside from "fall," but it should be out this year which is enough to make any Guide fan happy I'd think. Judging by the screen shots, it looks like a kind of mash-up of of the original concept from Adams' books and the slightly "modernized" one found in the 2005 film. As for the actual content, Hothead Producer Joel DeYoung had this to say:
We really focused on taking existing Guide entries and presenting them in a new, interactive way... We have so much respect for the original that we had to stay true to the style of Douglas Adams, and deliver an app that feels familiar to fans, but updated for today's devices.
Sure it won't amount to much more than a fancy iOS toy, but oh what a toy! My inner (and outer) nerd can't wait to start flipping through entries, reading up on Babel Fish, towels and everything else I'm probably only interested in right now due to nostalgia. "Fall" can't get here soon enough, as far as I'm concerned.

Well, I knew I was going to take a short break from blogging. I didn't think we would have been quite this long. I am planning on posting my menus again too.
It has been a crazy 6 months or so. Back in May, my husband was laid off. He had been with the company for 22 years, so it was a total shock. But God is good, and although he has yet to find something, we have seen His hand in it all. The timing, although horrible at the time for us, was actually perfect. Actually, he is now working as consultant for a few weeks, and then hopefully he will be hired permanently.
I was teaching preschool 2 days a week last year, and in September I started working four days. Two days teaching young 3's and two days teaching young 2's. I love it, although it is exhausting! But Princess is going to pre-k for free, so it works well. My house on the other hand looks like a bomb went off....every 3 seconds! I've decided that it's pretty bad when you hope a hurricane hits your house (as long as everyone is safe). At least that would be a great excuse on why it looks the way it does.
So I've been struggling with loads of feelings this last few months. The greatest one, I can't do it. I don't have it in me. I love my husband, I love my kids. But to have everything else going on, and then to deal with the never ceasing demands of a special needs child. It can put one in major overload. But there is never a boring or dull moment around here, and I have to admit I do like that!
Well, I will be posting more later. And hopefully my thoughts will be a bit more put together.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- Police in Ohio said an abandoned vehicle found in the middle of a road had a pot-belly pig in the back seat when it was towed away.
Youngstown police said officers responded to a report of an abandoned vehicle around 1:30 p.m. Monday and they arrived to find a 2011 Nissan Cube parked perpendicular to the curb with heavy front-end damage, two flat tires and both air bags deployed, the Youngstown Vindicator reported Tuesday.
Police said there was a 250-pound pot-belly pig in the back seat of the car when it was towed away from the scene.
Officers said they tracked down the owner of the vehicle, a Pennsylvania woman who said she had left Penelope the pig in the car while she visited a friend in Youngstown. She said she had noticed the vehicle missing, but had assumed the "kids took it."
Police said they are looking for suspects in the auto theft and animal authorities have been notified of the incident.

To simplify solar panel installation and reduce costs, we've developed complete, off-the-shelf prepackaged solar panel systems. Four types are available to choose from, depending on what your solar hot water needs might be.
Solar flat panel plate collectors are the heart of any solar hot water panel system. The solar panel collector is what absorbs and stores the sun's energy. Water runs through the panel and becomes solar heated in the solar panel. Heliodyne offers low profile solar hot water panels to minimize the impact on your home's appearance.
Over 30 years of solar hot water panel design and engineering refinement have gone into making our panels a world class performer for heat output, efficiency and durability. The solar panel collector is available in 3 sizes, with 2 surface types to choose from (blue sputtered, and black paint), making it versatile and suitable for all types of solar water heating applications.
Although some people find having solar hot water panels on their home as not only practical but vogue, these days, we still try to keep the panel profile as thin as possible.

Apple to celebrate Steve Jobs' birthday with release of new MacBookĀProsBundled packages of MacBook Pros reportedly being delivered to resellers and Apple Stores are set to be unwrapped for Steve Jobs' birthday, AppleInsider can confirm.
Jobs, Apple's co-founder and chief executive, turns 56 on February 24. And all signs from within the company suggest that it will use that day —a Thursday as opposed to the traditional Tuesday —to unveil the new notebooks, according to people familiar with the matter.
That's the same day previously reported by MacRumors as being 'reliably confirmed' as the expected ship date for the new models. It was previously presumed that this coming Thursday was chosen because it was the earliest possible date Apple could facilitate the much needed MacBook Pro refresh, but chatter from within the company now suggests the timing is intentional.
That date also harmonizes with an earlier report which stated Apple was accelerating its MacBook Pro update, originally expected in early March, for an earlier launch date in late February.
Apple has reportedly advised some of its partners that it may begin shipping sealed packages to stores ahead of a formal announcement, and that those partners are under strict warnings not to open or examine their contents under threat of having their licenses to sell the company's products revoked if they do.
Supplies of the company's high end notebooks have become greatly constrained in anticipation of the launch.
Last year, Apple noted that February 24 marked the 10 billionth song sale in iTunes, a key measure of success for a strategy closely linked to Jobs' efforts to revolutionize the sale distribution of music over the last decade in conjunction with the iPod. However, the company did not call public attention to the birthday of its co-founder and chief executive.
Apple's annual shareholder meetings have also coincided with or near Jobs' birthday, which resulted in shareholders once toasting the executive with the singing of the Happy Birthday anthem. That was done at the suggestion of an attendee, however, and was not led by company representatives themselves.
This year, Apple's shareholder meeting is scheduled for February 23, the day before Jobs' birthday and the expected release date of the new MacBook Pros. While Jobs has largely remained very private about his own history and personal details, including his heath, the company may wish to honor him given his reduced role at Apple during his existing medical leave.
Over the last decade, Jobs has battled pancreatic cancer, undergoing surgery, additional therapy in Switzerland, and finally a liver transplant, procedures that left him appearing physically frail even as he continued to revolutionize the markets for music, smartphones, mobile software, tablets and highly mobile notebooks.
Last week, Jobs met with President Obama among a group of Silicon Valley leaders, but his condition has also been the subject of reports that indicate he has returned to the Stanford Cancer Center, ostensibly for a new round of treatments.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Treasury prices fell Monday after a strong reading on the service sector of the economy, erasing earlier gains that had put benchmark notes on track to close at their lowest yields of the year.
The non-manufacturing index measured by the Institute for Supply Management rose to 55.2% in April from 53.1% in March. The reading was the highest in six months, beating economist expectations of a 54.2% reading.
"The generally stronger ISM non-manufacturing report conforms to the tone of nearly all April data we have seen thus far, suggesting a strong start to Q2 and a reacceleration in growth following the winter slowdown," said Gennadiy Goldberg, U.S. strategist at TD Securities, in a note to clients.
After the data, the 10-year Treasury note US:10_YEAR yield, which rises as prices fall, climbed 1.5 basis point on the day to 2.608%, according to Tradeweb. The benchmark yield had hit an intraday low of 2.572%, which would have been the lowest yield since last October.
The 30-year bond US:30_YEAR yield rose 3.5 basis points to 3.405%. The 5-year note US:5_YEAR yield rose slightly to 1.679%.
Monday's losses serve as a breather from last week's strong gains. U.S. government debt gained despite a strong headline number in a nonfarm payrolls report Friday. Investors focused on some of the weaker aspects of the report, including a drop in the labor force participation rate, and flat wages.
"Trading is fairly consolidative after last week's big move. We saw a lot of action, and at this point a lot of big accounts are just sitting back and watching what happens here," said Kim Rupert, managing director of global fixed-income analysis for Action Economics LLC.
The 30-year bond has been an outperformer so far this year. The Barclays U.S. Treasury 20+ Year index is up 11.8% so far this year, after the long bond yield fell over 12 basis points in the final four sessions of last week. That helped corporate issuers like Caterpillar Inc. CAT, -1.51% gain attractive yields on its debt offering Monday.
Treasurys gained earlier Monday in the wake of a weak report on Chinese manufacturing.
Meanwhile, escalating conflict in Ukraine also helped keep a lid on yields. On Monday, heavy fighting took place in the eastern Ukrainian city of Slovyansk.
The Treasury Department will sell $69 billion of Treasurys this week, including $29 billion in 3-year notes US:3_YEAR on Tuesday, $24 billion in 10-year notes on Wednesday, and $16 billion in 30-year bonds on Thursday.

As usual, never consider the following commentary associated with these photos as a formal interpretation of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Without criticizing anyone or any product, the following scenarios present us with serious safety questions.
All references are based on the 2005 NEC.
Barney O'Donnell, of HSI Security Systems, found this fire alarm panel at St. Anthony's School in Tigard, Ore. He had this to say about the installation. "Workmanship is only one violation. Nothing is fastened down in this cabinet. I was afraid to close the panel for fear of shorting something. Although it's not obvious, upon inspection I found no supervision of the NAC extender and woefully inadequate battery backup capacity. I wonder if this job was done with proper permits and if it passed any inspections at all?"
NEC Art. 760 covers the installation of wiring and equipment of fire alarm systems, including all circuits controlled and powered by the fire alarm system. As per 760.8, "Fire alarm circuits shall be installed in a neat and workmanlike manner. Cables and conductors installed exposed on the surface of ceilings and sidewalls shall be supported by the building structure in such a manner that the cable will not be damaged by normal building use. Such cables shall be supported by straps, staples, hangers, or similar fittings designed and installed so as not to damage the cable. The installation shall also conform with 300.4(D)."
For further information on the installation and monitoring for integrity requirements for fire alarm systems, refer to the NFPA 72-2002, National Fire Alarm Code. One source of information describing industry practices is ANCI/NECA 305-2001, Standard for Fire Alarm System Job Practice.
Dave Stelzer, a registered professional engineer with Black & Veatch in Overland Park, Kan., found this receptacle when he moved a chair in a new luxury condo in Spirit Lake, Iowa. "The owners had requested a receptacle in the middle of the living space to serve a lamp or end table. The electrical contractor obviously had no idea how to install a receptacle in the concrete/tile floor. They cut off the type MC cable sheath at floor level and glued a surface raceway box to the floor. As you can see, the glue didn't hold. I expect this will short out eventually."
Stelzer also noted the following Code violations for this installation:
314.27(C), Floor Boxes. Boxes listed specifically for this application shall be used for receptacles located in the floor.
330.40, Boxes and Fitting. Fittings used for connecting Type MC cable to boxes, cabinets, or other equipment shall be listed and identified for such use.
110.12, Mechanical Execution of Work. Electrical equipment shall be installed in a neat and workmanlike manner.

Thief Makes Off With Over $4,000 Worth of Spanx
A JCPenney in Vero Beach, Florida has been victimized by what the media is calling the Spanx Bandit.
While that moniker evokes images of a svelte thief who uses the body-shaping hosiery to slide into small places, the truth is even more insidious. This bandit, for which there is no current description of, made off with 100 Spanx along with their plastic hangers. The total cost of the criminal's haul was $4,182.
The Spanx shortage that has resulted from the crime obviously poses a challenge to Vero Beach residents, who will inevitably eat too much this holiday season and need a little help getting into their Christmas dresses.
Will they be forced to buy their body shaping unmentionables on the Spanx black market, which is likely where the stolen goods ended up? Or will they simply use another retailer who sells the magical product? (A strategy that will only work if the Spanx Bandit doesn't keep striking.)
Perhaps the Spanx Bandit and the threat of more banditry will encourage more moderate eating this holiday. season
We will stay on top of this most important of stories.

Engineer Philipp Büttiker has been involved in continuous innovation at JURA for nearly 30 years. He and his team played an important role in the development of JURA maintenance products. He understands perhaps better than anyone the importance of optimum maintenance to JURA coffee machines and how much research and development goes into the perfect maintenance concept – for perfect coffee at the touch of a button.
The right maintenance guarantees the optimum coffee result and measurably extends the lifetime of your automatic machine. When it comes to the perfect coffee result and smooth machine functioning, the cleanliness of the machine and the hygienic handling of milk, coffee and water are just as important as the technical refinements of the automatic machine itself. We have developed the JURA range of maintenance products to make it easy to maintain the machine at the touch of a button. The CLARIS filter delivers perfect water, the cleaning tablets ensure the brewing unit is clean and free from coffee fats, and the milk system cleaning function keeps the pipes clean with absolutely no milk residues.
If carried out correctly and regularly, it's not a big effort. Maintaining the machines is just as simple as preparing coffee: one touch of a button is all it takes. The original JURA maintenance products in combination with the exactly mached programs guarantee for impeccable cleanlinessand thus a constant perfect coffee results.
Does it matter what products I use to clean and maintain my coffee machine?
It certainly does! Only original JURA maintenance products ensure a high standard of hygiene and protection. Only our protective formulas have been carefully optimised to suit the programmes and materials used in JURA automatic machines. Our development teams work hard every day to perfect the coffee experience for our customers through innovative technologies and refined processes. It's not just our coffee machines that go through stringent testing: our maintenance products have to satisfy the highest TÜV-certified quality standards too.
Do you have a maintenance tip for JURA coffee machines?
When it comes to maintenance products, never settle for anything less than original branded products! It's worth it.

Industry insiders give tips on how to apply for a job in industry, what to expect during the interview and how to maximize your chances of landing a position.
When applying for a job in industry, "it's a given that you are an expert," says Jonathan Jacobs, a staff scientist and recent hire at MedImmune Inc. "It's the other things that are important in the decision on a hire." As an expert in bioinformatics and molecular genetics, Jacobs was headhunted by MedImmune for his combination of skills and knowledge. Even so, his selection for the job included several interviews and took a number of months. "Some [people] on the hiring committee were unsure of my prospects in industry," recalls Jacobs. "Apparently I had already spent too much time in academia." He was only partway through his second postdoctoral position.
Jacobs' experience reflects a divide that exists between academia and industry based on a perception of the type and quality of science each produces and the type of scientist each must then attract. One important difference between academic and industry-based research is that projects are shared between collaborators within a company. "You can't monopolize a project," says Jacobs. "Staff scientists aren't dependent on first authorships for their standing among peers and further funding, but they must be able to meet project milestones and move projects forward. This is where collaborations come in."
Although working toward project milestones may sound boring and not very creative, Jacobs is very enthusiastic about the industry work culture. "You work on a number of projects – I'm currently involved in five – and you get to work with different people who bring their own specialist viewpoint to bear on the problem. It's very dynamic."
According to Jacobs, an early entry into the private industry job market is important. He advises starting a job search for an entry level staff scientist position when you are tidying up your doctorate rather than at the end of your first postdoctoral fellowship. Many larger pharmaceutical and biotech companies also are now developing their own postdoctoral programs. For example, MedImmune is about to rollout a postdoctoral program for next year. "We may have up to 16 positions available," says Jan Popp, director of project management and business operations at MedImmune.
Once you've identified some companies to apply for, "there are definite strategies applicants can undertake to snare an interview," says Popp. "Do not apply for every position the company advertises – stick to those that require your specialist knowledge. Write a resume, not a CV, write it to the job description, and keep it short – three or four pages – including references. Describe, in point form, how you are able to meet the requirements of the position. Use key words, as hiring managers will use these for the initial screening, and always use active language. Where possible, incorporate management experience, whether project, financial, people, time, etc., and be certain to highlight skills involving oral and written communication, collaboration and teamwork. Don't write about your hobbies or personal goals."
"Also, recruiters look for industry experience," says Popp. "Internships in industry during your undergraduate studies or having industry scientists involved in your projects or thesis can highlight connections and experience with industry."
Another piece of advice: if the company you're applying to is publicly-traded, call its investor relations office and ask for a copy of its prospectus – the document provides an incredible wealth of information.
"The first phone conversation is a screen that may result in an invitation to a formal interview," says Popp. "You must be prepared for it. In the past, I have decided not to proceed with an applicant based on this first conversation. You must be clear and concise and able to think on your feet. Practice talking about yourself, but not in the sense of a biography. You need to be able to describe your skills and knowledge and how you apply them. Practice this with friends over lunch or whenever time is available. Get them to ask you questions about what you do and how you do it. This is something you should be relaxed with; it shouldn't be presented as if by rote."
The successful phone screen usually is followed by several one-on-one interviews with a panel. "Don't feel weird just because you are better dressed than members of the interview panel," says Popp. "If you don't know what to wear, then look at what people in the public eye are wearing. News presenters and politicians are generally good role models in this respect."
You also will be asked to give a seminar on your research work to a broader company audience. Jacobs gave a seminar in each of his interviews. "Have a polished and practiced seminar ready," advised Popp. "And make sure you tell a story rather than just present a bunch of data. Also, do mock interviews. Practice."
"As well as being able to express yourself, you also must show that you have good listening skills," says Popp. "These things are important because they relate to your ability to collaborate, to work effectively with colleagues. And, lastly, have questions prepared that you can ask the panel. Being able to ask about the company and the job, rather than just the work conditions, gives you an opportunity to demonstrate some knowledge of the company and interest in the work it does."
To increase your chances of an interview, Jacobs emphasized the importance of networking. "Prepare a professional-looking business card and introduce yourself to other delegates at conferences, workshops and industry exhibitions. Be proactive."
When Jacobs was headhunted for his current position, a recruiter contacted him after reading his resume on LinkedIn. "My qualifications and experience matched what was required for a position at MedImmune," explained Jacobs. "It's a good strategy to post your experience and qualifications online using sites such as LinkedIn. Recruiters check these sites constantly. I had set up my LinkedIn page while a postdoc. Once it's set up, it simply works in the background for you." When asked what he placed on the LinkedIn page, he replied that it was basically his CV, minus his publications list, but with an emphasis on his technical experience and knowledge.
Starting a career in private industry can seem somewhat overwhelming without some structured guidance, but many universities and research institutions offer career and training resources.
• NIH career workshop videocasts
• NIH career events
"We alert our fellows as early as possible, at orientation, to the career training and counseling options available to them at the National Institutes of Health," says Lori Conlan, director of postdoctoral services at the NIH Office of Intramural Training and Education. "We develop new training packages and rotate our program from year to year. The workshops cover a variety of career related questions and are videocast and archived at www.training.nih.gov for the public to view. Many other academic institutions also will have career training and counseling programs, so look at your home institution as well.
"Our annual highlight is the NIH Career Symposium that offers a series of panel discussions on a variety of careers in science," says Conlan. "More than 1,000 people attended this year's symposium on the Bethesda campus in April. Also, every two months we bring a representative from a different company onto the campus to talk about recruitment opportunities with that company. These sessions are split between a 45-minute information session and a 45-minute networking session. This is a more intimate setting than at a career fair and gives postdocs an opportunity to ask specific questions about the company and careers there."
With only about 8 percent of today's postdoctoral scientists attaining tenure track academic positions, and with federal agencies now relying more on contract labor, private industry represents the future for many young scientists-in-training. Early career scientists seeking industry positions need to market themselves appropriately and highlight any professional competencies they posses that are desired by industry.

Perelman loses Hudson News founder inheritance bid
HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey judge has rejected a bid by the daughter of billionaire Revlon chairman Ronald Perelman to receive a larger slice of an inheritance from the estate of her grandfather who founded the Hudson News newsstands chain.
The Record newspaper reports (http://bit.ly/1qbDHGF ) a judge in Hackensack ruled Wednesday that Samantha Perelman had failed to prove the allegations of undue influence she lodged against the CEO of Hudson Media Inc., her uncle James Cohen.
Hudson News stores are in most major airports.
The Superior Court judge said although family patriarch and Hudson News founder Robert Cohen suffered from physical disabilities he was "legally competent" to choose his heirs and had reduced Perelman's bequests "by his own free will."
James Cohen says the ruling vindicates him.
A spokeswoman for the Perelmans says they're disappointed and evaluating their legal options.

Seabridge Confirms Continuity of High-Grade Walsh Lake Gold DiscoveryWednesday, 28th November 2012
Results Include 11.3 Meters of 26.2 GPT Gold and 1 Meter of 117.8 GPT Gold
Seabridge Gold reported today that results from the final 10 holes drilled during the 2012 campaign on the Walsh Lake target at its 100%-owned Courageous Lake Project in Canada's Northwest Territories confirm the strike continuity of this high-grade gold discovery. The Walsh Lake zone now has a strike length of 850 meters and remains open to the north, up dip and at depth. An aggressive drilling program will begin this winter which is expected to result in an initial resource estimation later in 2013.
The Walsh Lake discovery was announced on September 10, 2012. This area is about 10 kilometres south of the FAT deposit where Seabridge has developed a 6.5 million ounce proven and probable gold reserve (see reserve table below). The north part of this target area is connected by a road network between the FAT deposit and the historical Tundra Gold Mine. Walsh Lake is believed to be a series of structural zones, parts of which are on strike with the deposits exploited in the Tundra Gold Mine.
Seabridge Chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk noted that the Walsh Lake results could be economically significant to the overall project. "Courageous Lake is an exciting asset, not only because of the large FAT deposit but also because we own 53 kilometres of a Greenstone Belt which has gold mineralization over its entire length. Investing in our extensive land package in the belt is just beginning to pay off. Our team has developed other targets that we expect will also augment existing reserves".
Final assay results from the 2012 drilling campaign at Walsh Lake are:
The above reported drill holes were designed to intersect mineralized zones perpendicular to their strike. Therefore, the intervals reported are believed to represent true widths of mineralization.
Proven and probable gold reserves at Courageous Lake are estimated as follows (see news release dated July 24, 2012 for details):
Exploration activities by Seabridge Gold at the Courageous Lake gold project were conducted under the supervision of William E. Threlkeld, Registered Professional Geologist, Senior Vice President of the Company and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Threlkeld has approved the disclosure in this news release. In order to verify the test data a rigorous quality control/quality assurance protocol was employed during the 2012 Courageous Lake drill program including blank and certified reference standards inserted by the Company at a rate of not less than one of each type in every 30 samples. Repeats and re-splits of the sample rejects were analyzed at a rate of not less than one sample in every 25 for each type. Samples were assayed at Acme Laboratories, Vancouver, B.C. using fire assay atomic adsorption methods for gold and total digestion ICP methods for other elements. Intervals that exceed 10.0 g/t Au were methodically re-analyzed using metallic screen fire assay techniques. Cross-check analyses were being conducted at a second external laboratory on at least 10% of the samples.
Seabridge holds a 100% interest in several North American gold resource projects. The Company's principal assets are the KSM property located near Stewart, British Columbia, Canada and the Courageous Lake gold project located in Canada's Northwest Territories. For a breakdown of Seabridge's mineral reserves and resources by project and category please visit the Company's website at http://www.seabridgegold.net/resources.php.
All reserve and resource estimates reported by the Corporation were calculated in accordance with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Classification system. These standards differ significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

This information and these statements, referred to herein as "forward-looking statements" are made as of the date of this document.

Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects", "anticipates", "plans", "projects", "estimates", "envisages", "assumes", "intends", "strategy", "goals", "objectives" or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements are based on Seabridge's or its consultants' current beliefs as well as various assumptions made by them and information currently available to them. These assumptions include: (i) the presence of and continuity of metals at the Project at observed or modeled grades; (ii) the capacities of various machinery and equipment; (iii) the availability of personnel, machinery and equipment at estimated prices; (iv) exchange rates; (v) metals sales prices; (vi) appropriate discount rates; (vii) tax rates and royalty rates applicable to the proposed mining operation; (viii) financing structure and costs; (ix) anticipated mining losses and dilution; (x) metallurgical performance; (xi) reasonable contingency requirements; (xii) success in realizing proposed operations; (xiii) receipt of regulatory approvals on acceptable terms, and (xiv) the negotiation of satisfactory terms with impacted Treaty and First Nations groups. Although management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect. Many forward-looking statements are made assuming the correctness of other forward looking statements, such as statements of net present value and internal rates of return, which are based on most of the other forward-looking statements and assumptions herein. The cost information is also prepared using current values, but the time for incurring the costs will be in the future and it is assumed costs will remain stable over the relevant period.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved or that assumptions do not reflect future experience. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a number of important factors could cause the actual outcomes to differ materially from the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates assumptions and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be generally stated as the risk that the assumptions and estimates expressed above do not occur, but specifically include, without limitation: risks relating to variations in the mineral content within the mineralized material identified, in particular mineral reserves or mineral resources, from that predicted; variations in rates of recovery and extraction; developments in world metals markets; risks relating to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar; increases in the estimated capital and operating costs or unanticipated costs; difficulties attracting the necessary work force; increases in financing costs or adverse changes to the terms of available financing, if any; tax rates or royalties being greater than assumed; changes in development or mining plans due to changes in logistical, technical or other factors; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; risks relating to receipt of regulatory approvals or settlement of an agreement with impacted First Nations groups; the effects of competition in the markets in which Seabridge operates; operational and infrastructure risks and the additional risks described in Seabridge's Annual Information Form filed with SEDAR in Canada (available at www.sedar.com) for the year ended December 31, 2011 and in the Corporation's Annual Report Form 40-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR (available at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml. Seabridge cautions that the foregoing list of factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive.
When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Seabridge, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Seabridge does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by Seabridge or on our behalf, except as required by law.

BENEFITING: Dysautonomia International
EVENT: 2017 POTS Walk 5K Race
EVENT DATE: May 06, 2017
Run along the scenic Mystic River, the 2017 POTS Walk & 5K Race will start and end at McGlynn Middle School in Medford, MA. The race is chip timed and sanctioned by USATF. Participants are welcome to join us after the race for entertainment and refreshments. Proceeds from this event will benefit Dysautonomia International in the support of POTS research.
Join our event page to stay apprised of updates
What is POTS?
POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system. It is characterized by an increase in heart rate of more than 30 beats per minute upon standing. Symptoms are widely varied, but can include palpitations, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, fainting, sweating, etc. An estimated 1 million Americans suffer from POTS, primarily young women. The cause of POTS is still not understood and there is no known cure.
This race benefits Dysautonomia International an organization devoted to funding POTS research. Please consider helping us fundraise by making a personal or team fundraising page. Share your personal story about why supporting POTS research and awareness is important to you. Prizes will be rewarded to the top fundraising teams.
The registration fee is $30 per person. Registration includes a free t-shirt and goody bag for the first 500 registrants. All participants will be entered in our raffle for a chance to win some incredible prizes donated from our sponsor. Everyone is encouraged to join us for refreshments and entertainment after the race. Please register early.
If you are walking and would like to bring young children they are more than welcome. They do not require registration and will not receive registration materials, bibs, or T-shirts.
The race will start promptly at 10am. Registration and bib pick-up will open at 8am and close at 9:30am. Look for us under the windmill behind McGlynn Middle School. Please plan to arrive early to pick up your bib.
A post race celebration including refreshments and entertainment will be provided until noon.
Transportation and Parking:
The course is accessible by T using the Wellington station. A number of buses also service the area. Plenty of free parking is available at Hormel Stadium.
This race is sanctioned by USATF. Runners are not permitted to have strollers, roller skates, skateboards, or bicycles on the race course. Walkers may have strollers but will be asked to line up at the back of the field.
To make the course more accessible to POTS patients, we will be marking off a number of shorter distances along the race course. Those that are unable to walk the entire course are encouraged to set their own goal and walk as much as they are physically able.
Thank you!
The Team: $60 TOTAL RAISED SO FAR

Two couples go on vacation together. After a week, they are thoroughly bored.
The men decide that maybe life will take on new meaning if they change partners. They all agree that it's an experiment worth trying.
The morning after the switch, one of the husbands says, ''I'm glad we tried this. It was exhilarating. Come on, let's go in the other room and see how the girls got on.''
