A good friend of mine, who I unfortunately lost touch with for many years, has just recently found out that she has to eat gluten-free. Beth and I recently found each other again via Facebook. I know there are many out there who poo-poo Facebook, but I have found more "long lost" friends this way. Anywho, Beth also happens to be a marathon runner. Beth is getting ready to run her 14th marathon on September 26, 2009. I was curious about marathon running for a couple of reasons. First, I was curious because I am a runner and am currently training for my first half marathon and I hope to run a marathon next Spring. Second, I was curious because I wanted to know what the differences were with training & performance gluten-free vs. non-gluten-free.
Beth is 35 years old and started running at 8 years old, though not consistently. Beth's Dad was a distance runner and would get Beth towards the end of his runs & she would run short distances with him. Beth did not start running consistently until she was in her late 20's. Here are a series of questions that I asked Beth:
1. When did you run your 1st marathon?
My very first marathon was in April, 2001—Cleveland. I always wanted to try a marathon, and I thought that it would be my first and last. I still remember that feeling when I could see the finish line for the very first time. I still had over ½ mile to go, but when I saw it and knew I would finish, I couldn't believe it. It's hard to describe in words, but it's an overwhelming feeling , and at that point, I knew I wanted to try it again.
2. What was your best marathon?
My best marathon, in terms of time was Boston, 2009. I set a PR of 3:03 and finished in the top 100 (out of 9,300 females). It was one of those days where I felt I just had it in me. There was a slight headwind, which I could feel mostly on the uphills (which never fails). The temp was perfect, around 45, but it was cool when going into the wind. It also made it difficult to figure out what to wear because the temps and wind were right at that shorts/long-sleeve point. Plus, I knew that I would be freezing at the end, so I had to make sure to pack enough dry and warmer clothes in my check-in bag to grab at the bus.
I felt really strong throughout the whole race and really started to notice the headwind at mile 16, which is the first of the three Newton Hill. (The last one is Heartbreak Hill). I also started feeling some cramping in my upper quads, which is something I had never experienced before in any of my training runs. Why now, is all I kept thinking? I tried to not let it get to me. I just let my legs decide the pace on the hills keeping in mind that I needed to save some in the tank for the later miles. The other issue I had was that my watch stopped at mile 5, and I couldn't get it started for about 2-3 minutes! Of all the times for my watch to stop! I really had no idea what my official time was since I lost those minutes, and I never saw the start clock for the clock/chip time difference. I had to call a friend back home in Ohio to get my time off the internet. My parents, boyfriend and others watching the race neglected their cell phones. When she told me the time, I couldn't believe it.
3. What was your favorite marathon?
In terms of gutsy performance, dose of reality, my favorite marathon was NYC, 2007. It has been the one marathon where I thought I would DNF. Around mile 10, I started to notice a pain shooting around my lower left shin. Around mile 12, it started to shoot up my leg, and by mile 13, I had doubts if I would finish because I could barely bend my leg. I went up the bridge, and it felt fine, but coming down to mile 14, I was in so much pain, I could hear the spectators saying how I looked hurt. At mile 15, I saw a med station and decided to stop. I was given ice, icy hot and Tylenol. I also had to sign a bunch of waivers. I sat at that tent for over 30 minutes contemplating if I should keep going as hundreds of runners passed by. I called several people, crying, yelling, ticked off. Of course, the doctors wouldn't tell me what to do other than there was another med tent at mile 18, and if it was bad, the sweeps truck would take me to the finish line. I decided to go, and if it was bad, I could walk to 18. I started jogging lightly and kept going. I think the Tylenol and adrenaline and stubbornness set in. I made several phone calls along the way to tell people that I was going and still standing. I just remember thinking I needed to get to mile 23 to get to Central Park, and then the finish was near. The Tylenol started to wear off around mile 25, but by then, I didn't care. I was going to finish. I ended up finishing in 4:17. I was so happy to finish, but in so much pain! From there, I had to walk to get my gear from the bag check-in, and there were trucks lined up in numerical order based on the alphabet. At the time, I still had my married name which began with "S", and that was truck #64. At that point, all I could think about was damn—why didn't I change my name back to August and be in the first set of trucks. That was by far one of the slowest and longest walks of my life.
It ended up that I had a stress fracture of my lower left tibia bone. It's an overuse injury, and it just decided to rear its ugly head during the marathon. It was just a matter of time before it would hinder my running. I had to wear an aircast for two weeks, and I was off for a total of nine weeks. My activities were limited to swimming, upper body lifting and the stationary bike.
Although this was my worst marathon in terms of finish, and it was the worst injury I'd ever had, it really was one of the best things that ever happened to me. It made me realize that I'm not invincible and that I can't take for granted all of the running I do. It also taught me how to overcome adversity and decide how to deal with it. And, I decided that instead of moping around and feeling sorry for myself, I could channel that energy into something positive, and I started swimming. I'm a horrible swimmer, but it was something new and challenging, and I still continue to do it. Sometimes, when life gets crazy, regardless if it's in my professional, training or personal life, I think about NY '07, and how adversity and stress can be dealt with. Was it the smartest thing to continue to run on a fractured bone? Probably not, but what an experience!
4. What is your favorite running gear?
My favorite brand of shoes is Mizuno. I tend to beat up my legs, and I strike my left heel weird, so I wear the Nirvanas, which are for stability. The heel box is a little heavier than most other shoes. I also prefer thin socks, regardless of the temperature, and I like Mizuno, too. There are the breathe/ice kind, which are for warmer temps, and the thermo kind for winter temps. I usually do shorts if the temp is over 45 degrees, and I'll do short-sleeves if the temp is 55 and over. Anything over 60 is just a sportsbra or light tank/t-shirt, all of which are made from the dry-fit/technical material. I like the UnderArmour and Nike Fit Sports Bras. For shorts, I like Nike's track line, which comes in all sorts of nice colors, and they are cut well for women—not a lot of bulk, which tends to hang like some other brands.
I usually wear gloves when it is less than 50, and when the temp hovers close to that, I may wear on old pair of socks for a little bit, and then take them off or throw them somewhere. Depending on the wind and cold, I'll wear something to cover my ears. Mizuno also has a great line of cold weather gear: hats, gloves and ear bands.
I have a superstition that I always have to wear sunglasses, even when it's cloudy. My eyes dry very easily, and the sunglasses help to block the breeze. Plus, I save energy from not squinting. It's one of those accessories that I don't feel right not wearing. I always feel like I run well. I'm also a big fan of hats, particularly visors in the summer time, in order to shield the heat and keep the sweat from my eyes.
I never leave home without my Road ID, which provides my medical and contact information in case of emergency. I wear the bracelet, and I hope to never need it, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
5. When did you go gluten-free?
I officially went GF about a year ago. Prior to then, there were some foods that I stayed away from because they didn't agree with me (i.e. breaded foods, cereals and breads). I never made the connection between these foods and gluten until I started researching the topic (thanks to my mom's advice) and talking with my doctor.
6. Do you fuel yourself any different now that you are GF?
I eat a lot of rice and rice cakes, which substitute pasta and pretzels. (Pretzels were one of my staples, and I would eat them like crazy). I try to eat brown rice, but will eat white before a hard training day, run or race simply because it has less fiber. I've also made the switch to potato chips since I need something salty (I exert A LOT) of sodium and carbs. I used to be so fat-phobic with them, but I'd rather eat potato chips than feel awful after eating a bunch of pretzels. I like to put cheese slices on my rice cakes, or sometimes top with some tuna fish. My other favorite combo is peanut butter, honey and some banana slices.
7. Favorite pre-race breakfast/snack?
About 2 ½ to 3 hours before a race, I'll have a banana and a yogurt—Vanilla Thick & Creamy by Yoplait. That gives me enough time to digest the food without feeling heavy or full. If the race is longer than a 10K, I'll take a Vanilla Bean Gu about 15 minutes before the race. If it's a 10K or less, I usually don't take in the Gu, but maybe a Cliff Shot Blok or nothing. I only sip water every so often, just enough so I don't get too full and risk stomach cramping.
8. Favorite night before race meal?
Sushi—and lots of it! I usually have 20-25 pieces the night before a long race (10 miler or above) or the night before a long run (18 and above). I prefer the nigiri: tuna, salmon, yellowtail, albacore and shrimp. I also like tuna and salmon rolls with avocado. I may have a little white rice as a side dish—not brown since there's too much fiber. I use the GF soy sauce for the sushi and the rice. When I run, I tend to exert A LOT of sodium, so the soy sauce helps me to retain water and salt. The carbs, protein, sodium and fat content is the perfect blend to keep me fueled, and I don't feel stuffed or weighted down like I used to with pastas. Sashimi is good too, and I prefer the same types of fish.
9. Do you notice any performance differences?
I'm definitely not as "weighted down" and bloated as I used to feel after eating gluten-type foods. Since I've gone GF, I've ran PRs at every distance from the 5K to the marathon. Sometimes, though, it is difficult to stay "full" because a lot of the GF foods aren't as calorie-dense as others.
10. What do you like most about running?
I like the sense of accomplishment, and I like that it's a sport where you set individual goals. My goal is different from someone else's, but it's not insignificant. It's a sport where it's you vs. yourself. Physically, I like the feeling of every muscle in my body working together to exert forward motion. Regardless of the pace or distance, this is the motion that occurs on every run. I also like how it tests you and builds character: some days are better than others, but it's the true toughness that kicks in and never gives up.
11. What do you like least about running?
Speed workouts! For some reason, the track just intimidates me! I know it's good for me, and it helps with the overall goal, but those workouts really hurt. The ironic thing is that once they are finished, I'm so glad I did them—not just because they are finished, but because I do feel really good. They do take a lot out of me, though. I'm usually so tired by the afternoon (I usually do these in the mornings), and they do make me more hungry since my muscles were just used in an entirely different way!
I also have a love/hate relationship with the ice bath. For runs over 12 miles, I'll usually sit in a cold bath for a few minutes right after I'm finished, before I stretch out. It's heaven on my muscles and helps to combat inflammation after a long run. But, it is very difficult to jump into a cold water bath, especially during the winter! Just like the track, I'm glad that I did it!
12. Anything else you can share about marathon running & gluten-free eating?
Marathon Running: I'm often asked why I keep running marathons, and I really can't answer that question. Truth be told, it's not fun. It's so tough on the body. It wears you out. It consumes your life. It tests your mental will. It really hurts. I could go on and on. I think that if I really could answer that question, I'd probably stop. I guess my main answer is the sense of accomplishment that I feel once I cross the line. It's something that I can't describe, and it's one that I've felt in every marathon so far. I will always encourage someone to try it if they feel like it's within their physical capabilities. For those that are to embark on their first one (or ones), I wish you well. Just remember, every doubt, ache, question, thought, and urge to give up that you are feeling—we all go through that. For those that are veterans—hats off to you!
Gluten-free Eating: I can honestly say that I feel so much better since I've gone gluten-free. True, it is difficult to go out to restaurants/bars or just socialize due to some limited menus, but it is getting easier to make GF choices. I feel lighter, healthier and just happier since I'm not always irritable. I do miss some foods, like pretzels and sweets, and I also miss a good beer. When I start to have those cravings, I think to myself: "Is 5 minutes of food pleasure really worth 2 days of tummy displeasure?" I immediately have my answer.
Thanks Beth for taking the time to allow us to get to know you better & to learn more about marathon running & gluten-free eating. If you have any questions for Beth, please leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to Beth and then respond back.

High levels of achievement and motivation are not hard to find along the corridors and in the classrooms at Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School (Bravo). Display cases show recent awards: a National Title I Distinguished School plaque (Title I is the section of the No Child Left Behind Act that provides resources for districts and schools serving disadvantaged student populations, including low-performing and high-poverty students) hangs next to photos of students, community members, and administrators at a ceremony celebrating Bravo's 2006 recognition as a National Blue Ribbon School. (Both award programs honor schools for their academic excellence; the former is administered by the National Association of Title I Directors, the latter by the U.S. Department of Education.) Nearby posters, including one titled "Determination of Neurostimulating Electrode Surface Area Using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy," exhibit students' academic excellence in the medical field and summarize their research projects conducted with university faculty and biomedical researchers.
Such accomplishments signal Bravo's rigorous curriculum. Students are motivated because if they do well, they will qualify for a program that enables them to become certified nursing assistants and find employment as paraprofessionals in a California health-care center. Bravo's principal Maria Torres-Flores sums up the school's ambitious aim: "Our belief is that every student that comes through our doors can and will be successful. It's not just about graduating from high school, but about continuing their education and going on to college."
Named to honor a local surgeon, business leader, and advocate for the education of Mexican American students, Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School was established in 1990 to meet the academic needs of students drawn to health services careers. It began modestly. Opening with a class of 84 students and three core teachers, the magnet was housed in two bungalows on the campus of Lincoln High School. This small magnet program, Lincoln Medical Magnet, underwent several stages until 1990, when it became a stand-alone magnet, Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High. With the help of funds from community partners and loans, the school relocated to the current five-floor, single-building facility in the Boyle Heights area of East Los Angeles, adjacent to the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC). Today, Bravo's 74 faculty members serve 1,723 students. Its proximity to a hub of medical schools, hospitals, and research centers that partner with the school, opens the doors for students to learn about the real world of biomedical research, clinical practice, and health care providers. Bravo is an inner-city school in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD): 40 percent of its students live in the Boyle Heights neighborhood, a community of low-income Latinos, although the school draws the balance of its students from all backgrounds and from various areas of LAUSD.
While Bravo's magnet theme connects students to the real world of health-care providers, biomedical research, and hospitals, and offers them options for pursuing various medical careers, the school's focus has evolved over the years to ensure that even students who do not pursue those professions will be fully prepared for college. Through the Bravo Curricular Pathway, students are encouraged and prepared to meet the admission requirements of the University of California system, the California State University system, or similar institutions. A second option available to students may include a community college, occupational center, technical school, or other postsecondary training programs. Bravo has successfully realized its goal: All students complete California's "A-G" course work for college admission, and of its 2007 graduating class, 94 percent went on to two- or four-year colleges.
Mission and Curriculum
Bravo's motto of "Quality and Integrity" embodies the school's approach to teaching and learning. Teachers constantly look for ways to put fundamental college-preparatory and life skills into everyday classroom practices. Bravo's curriculum is infused with academically enriched material and course offerings that require students to develop organizational and analytical skills they can apply beyond the school walls.
Students are expected to follow a framework for rigorous academics from the first day they enter Bravo. An individualized graduation plan helps students plan courses over the next four years geared to their postsecondary goals. Incoming students attend an introductory orientation course that exposes them to the health professions. Bravo staff also set a goal for each student to enroll in at least one of the 14 Advanced Placement (AP) courses before they graduate. Bravo partnered with East Los Angeles Community College, where students who want to get an early start can enroll in a variety of college-level courses offered at Bravo's campus after the regular school day. Since students attend Bravo from all over Los Angeles, students also may take courses at a community college in their own neighborhood. This dual-enrollment program (90-100 students participate on campus and 25-30 students participate off campus each semester) allows students to receive credits towards graduation from Bravo, as well as college units.
The school offers a diverse curriculum in the fields of science and health science beyond the basic district requirements. Most courses allow students to spend time at health or clinical sites to gain additional experience and training. While their core courses meet the state's minimum college admissions requirements, juniors and seniors can enroll in one of the dozen science and health science electives, which include Dental Assistant, Medical Terminology, and Nursing Assistant. After successful completion of the first term, students are then required to complete 60 hours of theory and 100 hours of clinical practice in a community health facility. Students are tested at the end of the course—the equivalent to the first semester of nursing school—by taking the state certificate exam administered by the American Red Cross. Successful completion enables students to be employed as nursing assistants in a health-care facility.
Bravo's partnerships with such world-class medical and research facilities as the University of Southern California Health Sciences Campus (USC-HSC) and the Saban Research Institute offer students diverse field experiences, learning enrichment opportunities, and internship possibilities.
Ensuring Student Success
Central to Bravo's focus as a school for the college-bound is the idea that all students, no matter what their ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or incoming GPA, should have the opportunity, academic support, and resources to succeed and pursue a higher education. This means that there are no tests or admissions requirements that students must meet in order to apply; instead, students are selected by lottery. Thus, says assistant principal Felipe Caceres, "We get students from the very high end to the very low end of the educational level as far as their needs."
Though students at Bravo vary in achievement levels, Caceres explains that Bravo's administrators have "challenged the faculty to look at the composition of the more rigorous classes such as AP courses so that the underrepresented minorities are a part of that." Bravo offers an Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program, which provides support to the academically average so that they can be placed in more rigorous classes. It requires a 7:1 student-to-tutor ratio, and teaches students foundational strategies like note taking and organizational skills that help them thrive in all their classes, and even into college.
Bravo students come from all parts of Los Angeles and from diverse backgrounds. Implementing a support system that meets the individual needs of all students is key. One strategy is its Summer Bridge Program, designed for students who struggled during middle school. They are invited to the Bravo campus for one week before the start of the school year to familiarize themselves with the school's environment, mission, and expectations. With their parents, they also can attend a six-Saturday program in which students receive assistance from a core group of faculty, while their parents work with counselors in academic workshops focusing on such topics as building a positive learning environment and how to read a student report card.
During the school day, tutors are scheduled to come into math and AVID classrooms to work with students in small groups. Some of Bravo's qualified paraprofessionals stay after school and tutor students. In addition to after-school support, students identified as below or far below basic on their California Standardized Test (CST) scores are invited to attend Saturday Academic Academies. On average, 150 students in grades 9-11 participate, as well as any seniors who have not passed the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE).
Building School Capacity
High-quality teachers are drawn to Bravo because of its reputation, strong professional culture, and the level of classroom autonomy. Its 72 members average 11 years of teaching experience. Five teachers hold doctorate degrees, three received National Board Certification, and many hold master's degrees. Professional development for science program staff is helped through Bravo's partners in the medical world. Teachers and staff from the USC-HSC help develop teacher lesson plans and, through its STAR I Biomedical Research course, educates teachers in how to use computing and communications technology to enhance student learning.
The partnerships Bravo has with its neighboring medical and research institutes have been a crucial part of the school's development and its access to resources and sustainability, beginning with its founding partner, the Los Angeles County and University of Southern California Medical Center. Thanks to the Adopt-A-School agreement, Bravo students can take advantage of the Center's personnel and site resources, and participate in on-site experiences at the medical facilities. A key component of this partnership gives Bravo students a traditional, hands-on approach to learning in a health setting by way of training programs coordinated in conjunction with the school's volunteer requirements. To graduate from Bravo, students must complete 40 hours of community service, and to receive credit, students must volunteer in a hospital setting.
Achievement and Outcomes
Bravo's designation as a Title I school in 1996 enabled it to acquire additional resources to meet the diverse needs of its students.24 Title I funds have been used over the years for such support as hiring extra teachers to reduce class sizes, providing students with specific assistance through tutoring, counseling services, and extended learning time through Saturday Academies. As a result of the continued dedication of both the staff and students towards achieving success, Bravo has made significant gains in closing the achievement gap, particularly for the Hispanic and economically disadvantaged subgroups. Table 2 shows that the percentages of Bravo 10th- and 11th-graders scoring proficient and above on the 2007 state assessments for reading and mathematics were greater than the overall district achievement rates for those grade levels and, with the exception of grade 10 mathematics, greater than the state achievement rates for those levels.
In 2005, Bravo was recognized as a Title I Distinguished School for having risen above obstacles of poverty and showing exceptional student performance for two or more consecutive years. That same year, Bravo became one of the very few Title I high schools that had surpassed the 800 Academic Performance Index (API) target set by the state of California. (As part of California's Public School Accountability Act of 1999, API measures the academic performance and growth of schools.)

Norco Performance Bikes 2009
We take a good look at the new range
Born and bred in Vancouver, Canada, Norco use a tried and tested method of developing their bikes on both their huge cycling staff and their brutally talented team riders, including Jay 'Hoots' Krantz, Dylan 'The Mighty Ginge' Korba and the awe inspiring Ben Boyko. In addition is the delightful Freerider Darcy Turenne and Ride Guide presenter who's been working hard with R+D on the new women's specific bikes.
With a huge range all the way from XC up to full-on DH race bikes, Norco have a solid range of bikes at all price points. Here's the overview of next year's key bikes…
Working heavily with Ben Boyko to make the perfect bike for park thrashing, dirt jumping and full-on slopestyle competitions, Norco has made one of the most fun looking bikes we've ever seen.
With 131mm travel out back and 120-160mm up front, the Empire 5 is built for Slopestyle – it's not just a butchered Six frame, it's been built specifically. With a short rear end, roomy front and twitchy geometry, it's perfect for the aerial manoeuvres that Ben Boyko and fellow team-mate Dylan Korba rip out in competitions.
Women's specific
Designed with feedback from Darcy Turenne, the woman's range consists of three XC/All Mountain hard tail frames, and the Vixa Freeride bike, as ridden by Darcy herself.
Amusingly having a different meaning in German, the Vixa is a 152mm frame designed around a Marzocchi 55ATA fork. It's a great looking ride and is based along the lines of a Six, but with a steeper seat angle and comes with a women's specific saddle.
Perhaps the biggest market in mountain biking right now, Norco are on it with their Fluid and Fluid LT bikes.
The Fluid frames are a four-bar design featuring 140mm travel and have a clean and simple look to them. For '09 they've basically had a nip and tuck and feature a Hydro-formed tube-set and a great spec package. The intended models for the UK are the Fluid 2 and 3 models which will retail for £1800 and £1400 respectively.
The model we're more excited about through is the LT version- or long travel. With three models starting at £1600 for the base Fluid 3 model, which comes specced with a Custom graphic Marzocchi 55R fork and a SRAM drive-train, with Avid Juicy brakes.
The top Fluid 1 model is dripping with bling and will no doubt be a sought after steed. It features the new Crank Brothers seat-post, an Industry Nine wheelset, Sunline bars with Thomson stem and an XO/XT mixture. The four-bar rear end is kept plush with a Fox DHX 5.0 shock and a Rock Shox Lyrik 2-step heads the rig up.
Perhaps Norco's biggest area each year, it's split in to two main areas here- Freeride and Freeride lite over the Shore and Six models.
The Six has a new forged head tube area over last years frame, and comes with an E13 dual chain ring set-up. The three models feature trick paint jobs and a mixture of Rock Shox, Marzocchi and Fox suspension units. With six inches of travel front and rear, and a fairly light-weight build, they are perfect bikes for general thrashing- although you'll want to look at the Shore if you're planning on going XXL.
Headed by the Shore one- with a UK retail intention of £3200, Norco has really gone to town on the Shore. With slick new graphics and matching bars, these 7in travel monsters don't just pile-drive through the roughest of terrain, they also look fresh to boot. For 2009 there is a new chain-stay clevis and a stronger and stiffer down-tube design, but geometry stays DH and Freeride friendly with a 66deg head angle.
We rode the Shore One specced with and E13 chain guide, but production bikes will feature the new singing and dancing SRAM Hammerschmidt system that's launched at Crankworx next month- although we did spot a Shore with a Hammerschmidt on board…
Dirt Jump
Norco are doing the Dirt Jump thing really well- all their bikes have great graphics, brave colour-ways and several features to suit the jump scene.
There are four models- three Alloy and two steel- with a mixture of gears and single speed action. The three that really stood out were the 125, Ryde and the Havoc.
The Ryde has a 4130 butted steel frame, a Marzocchi Dj3 fork and SRAM X5 gearing with a Blackspire chain guide, Truvativ cranks and plastic Odyssey pedals for silent grinding. The light green paint job verges on bright yellow and looks stunning with the custom coloured Marzocchi fork- but the 125 looks even better…
They say Teal blue, but it's virtually the same colour way as the Sea Foam Green E13 chain guides out there. The Marzocchi DJ2 is custom coloured in a khaki green, and the Alien Nation rims and Funn bar and stem set-up are coloured to match. The whole set-up looks great and the graphics really pull it together.
Finally, the lairy Havoc kind of speaks for itself. White chain, Zebra paint detail, White cranks, white fork, white and orange stripy saddle. And a great spec for the £650 intended retail price.
The biggest news here is the 37.5lb Team DH, but we're ultra impressed with the base Atomik model- which will retail for just £2000 complete. And that's with a Rockshox Boxxer and Funn direct mount stem, Fox DHX 3.0 shock, E13 light guide and SRAM componentry/Avid Brakes.
Moving up from that is the infamous A Line Park with 199-227mm travel and a bombproof spec- ideal for shuttling and general big terrain. New for '09 is the Hydro-formed frame, forged head tube and an additional size large. The A-Line is set to retail at £2900.
Heading the range is the £4500 Team DH, which has gone on a serious diet. It has a brand new frame with a down-tube that allows a lower shock mounting- and therefore centre of gravity. The head tube is a 1.5 number with an internal 11.8th headset to lower the front end and the spec is ready to race out the box- although some may prefer a coil rear shock, as oppsed to the 3in stroke Marzocchi Roco.
Up front is a Boxxer World cup, brakes are Avid Elixers with 8in rotors, and getting the bike moving are a pair of Saint cranks with an E13 light guide.

The concern over synthetic drugs has come to a head in recent months, according to experts, and evidenced by events in Miami last weekend. On Saturday, Rudy Eugene was fatally shot by police for gruesomely and repeatedly biting into another man's face. President of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police Armando Aguilar believes that bath salts, a synthetic drug, is an underlying culprit in Eugene's disturbing attack.
Bath salts are highly addictive and apparently elicit intense cravings similar to methamphetamines. They act on the brain like other stimulants, and are sometimes referred to as a "cocaine substitutes." Also known as "White Rush, Cloud Nine, Ivory Wave, Ocean Snow, Charge Plus, White Lightning, Scarface, Hurricane Charlie, Red Dove, White Dove, and Sextasy," their most common side effects are agitation, fast heart rate, and hallucinations and delusions, seizures, high blood pressure, and paranoia, according to the CDC. Deaths have also been linked to the drug.
"These substances are among the worst poison centers have ever seen," said director of the Louisiana Poison Center, Mark Ryan. "The psychosis seen in some users is truly remarkable, in a very scary way. People high on these drugs have done some bizarre things to themselves and hurt others around them. It's important that parents and young people understand just how dangerous these synthetic drugs are."
Last fall, the Drug Enforcement Administration banned bath salts and their active ingredients, mephedrone, methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), and methylone. "This action demonstrates our commitment to keeping our streets safe from these and other new and emerging drugs that have decimated families, ruined lives, and caused havoc in communities across the country," said Michele M. Leonhart, DEA Administrator. "These chemicals pose a direct and significant threat, regardless of how they are marketed, and we will aggressively pursue those who attempt their manufacture and sale."
The drugs are generally snorted, taken by mouth, or injected. One recent CDC study found that the majority of 35 patients brought to the ER for overdose had injected the drug. The same report suggested that for the one person who died from it, that MDPV was the chemical most likely linked to the death. Many of patients also had other drugs, like cocaine, benzodiazepines, opiates, marijuana, or amphetamines, in their systems at the time.
Bath salts are sold at convenience stores, "head shops," and gas stations, or may be purchased on the Internet. They are often mislabeled to avoid detection by officials, and their labels may read "Not Intended for Human Consumption," according to the CDC.
The government has had a hard time keeping up with synthetic drugs, as has been seen with synthetic marijuana in recent years. Calls to poison control centers for synthetic drug-related emergencies have risen drastically over the last several years, according to the American Association for Poison Control Centers (AAPCC): In 2010, there were 3,200 calls to poison control, and this number rose to over 13,000 in 2011. Perhaps incidents like recent episode in Miami will bring the drugs' neurological effects to public consciousness, and help spur officials to crack down on bath salts at their source – the people who concoct them in underground labs. But time will tell how the issue will evolve from here.

A White House photographer captured former President George W. Bush showing off his paintings to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a historic moment aboard Air Force One this week.
Bush and wife Laura joined Clinton and the Obamas on a flight to South Africa on Monday for Nelson Mandela's memorial service. The 16-hour journey was captured in a series of photographs by Pete Souza that were later posted on the White House's official website.
The photo shows a bespectacled Bush bent over a tablet that is sitting on a conference table. The former president is flanked by Clinton, Obama's senior advisor Valerie Jarrett and First Lady Michelle Obama. Laura Bush, Attorney General Eric Holder and National Security Advisor Susan Rice look on from across the table.
Bush has taken to the easel since he left office in 2009 and photos of his paintings of dogs and cats have surfaced on the Internet this year. In November, he presented "The Tonight Show" host Jay Leno with a portrait of him.
The photo is making its way around the web and the trip itself a reflection of Mandela's impact on generations of leaders fighting against racial divide and his ability to unite the political polar opposites for a long journey across the Atlantic, according to New York Times reporter Michael D. Shear.
Bush and Obama are now part of a "tiny group" of presidents who bonded at 30,000 feet in the air, Shear said.
Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter shared a flight on Air Force One in 1981 for the funeral of Egypt's President Anwar el-Sadat. Decades later, George H.W. Bush bonded with Bill Clinton on a flight to Asia after the 2004 tsunami, according to the Times report.

The RDS National Craft Awards rewards and showcases excellence in Irish Craft. Last year a major independent evaluation of these awards was undertaken by consultant Marie Brennan and as a result there will be a number of changes implemented in 2015.
The RDS National Craft Awards has two components; a competition and an exhibition. Open to a wide variety of craft disciplines, the competition provides an open platform for Irish craftspeople to have their work assessed by a professional judging panel of Irish and international craft experts. The prize-winning and a number of high quality entries are chosen for exhibition at the RDS during the Dublin Horse Show. The opening night of the exhibition sees annual prizes awarded to the most outstanding works of that year. The prize-winners are also displayed at the National Craft and Design Fair in December.
The independent evaluation reviewed the entire awards process and its recommendations will be implemented in 2015. The RDS National Craft Awards will now be a two stream competition where the work of emerging and established makers will be judged separately. To be eligible to enter the Emerging Maker Awards entrants must be able to show that they are either:
- Students studying craft in third level institutions
- Have within the last five years set up a craft business.
- Those who are new to a craft discipline within the last five years, either studying via an apprenticeship or life-long learners on an informal course.
All other entrants whether professional or amateur must enter the Established Maker strand of the Awards. An Award of Excellence of €5000 will be awarded in both the Emerging and Established Maker strands.
The evaluation also recommended that categories be reduced from twenty to thirteen, which are as follows:
1. Constructed Textiles (woven, knitted, crocheted, felted textiles and lace)
2. Embellished Textiles (embroidery, patchwork, quilting, batik, printed textiles)
3. Basketry
4. Jewellery & Silversmithing
5. Metalwork
6. Furniture
7. Carving
8. Leatherwork
9. Musical Instruments
10. Ceramics
11. Glass
12. Paper and Calligraphy
13. Woodturning
Other changes include:
· An extension for online entries into June
· A restriction to one entry per person
· A removal of the first round of judging to create a fully open competition where all entries will be examined by the judging panel.
Changes in RDS structures (we now have a Communications Manager and Director) mean that there is now greater ability to help with promoting RDS Foundation activities; meaning a stronger emphasis on media coverage in the future for both the competition and exhibition.
We believe that these changes will help to create a fairer, clearer, open and more streamlined competition and exhibition with a higher profile and a clear set of objectives in line with the RDS Arts goal which is: to provide a platform that supports the transition from student to emerging artist; encouraging the pursuit of a career in visual art, craft or music.

Workshop 5: Teaching Multigenre Writing
Laurie Swistak's Lesson
In January, Laurie Swistak's fifth-graders at Cranston-Calvert Elementary School in Newport, Rhode Island, begin a multigenre research unit based on people or events of historical significance. Over the course of the semester, the students produce at least ten pieces in ten different genres about their topics. The unit culminates in May with oral presentations for the students' parents.
During the project, Laurie collaborates with Dr. Camille Allen, who teaches education at nearby Salve Regina University. Dr. Allen's students serve as mentors, meeting with the fifth-graders once a week to assist them with research and writing.
To help the students organize their research and focus their inquiry, Laurie uses a strategy called FQI—facts, questions, and interpretations. Through reading and online searches, the students locate interesting facts about their topics. Then they think of questions related to those facts. Finally, they decide what interpretations or genres they could use to answer the questions.
The two-day lesson featured in Workshop 5 provides students with practice in FQI. Laurie begins by modeling the process for the class, and then the students start applying FQI to their individual topics.

That meditation could trigger psychosis is new to me.
Did 10-day meditation retreat trigger woman's suicide?
http://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/06/yo ... _vogt.html
"When Megan's parents asked if she was taking her anxiety medication, the volunteers didn't know what they were talking about."
So she was having psychological trouble before she went to the retreat, and did not inform the staff that she was on medication. The staff should have made it routine to ask everyone about their health and medications before they are admitted.
"Meditation leaders say they typically have a psychologist or expert on site at retreats who can intervene quickly if a meditator shows signs of trouble.
A meditator then can be pulled from meditation to do a "grounding" activity such as walking or working in the garden. Sometimes meditators can be sent home."

ASKED yesterday how he rated Manly, Sydney Roosters coach Brian Smith gave an insight into his own frustrations, while offering little insight into the Sea Eagles. ''I don't know if we're a particularly good benchmark for that. We've been such an inconsistent group this year. It's pretty hard for us to tell,'' he said
Manly's Steve Matai. Photo: Brendan Esposito
As the skies above Brookvale Oval provided four seasons in one day, the Roosters have certainly played four seasons in one, well, season. Hot one minute, cold the next, with many margins in between.
The Sea Eagles are just about the exact opposite. Few, if any, sides have shown such consistency over the course of 80 minutes and, so far, 22 rounds.
Yesterday they were at their clinical best. Sure, it was rather difficult to tell just how good a performance it was, given the quality of the opposition, but it was easy to see why the Sea Eagles are big contenders.
William Hopoate goes over the line to score for Manly. Photo: Brendan Esposito
''We just want to play well, finish well, continue with our momentum and stay healthy at the same time,'' Manly coach Des Hasler said, sounding as clinical as his side plays.
And his side did everything he asked - except stay healthy, which is out of their control. Prop Jason King's pectoral injury, which is likely to rule him out for the season, knocked them a little but they should not be disregarded.
''We stuck pretty well at what we wanted to do,'' Hasler said. ''At this time of year, it's about working on parts of the game and I thought we were pretty good at them today.
''I thought we were pretty tidy. Our patience with the ball was good, we completed well and our defence was pretty effective. I'm pleased with the way we went about the game of footy.''
It came after a loss a week ago against Wests Tigers. Yesterday's winning performance, such glorious monotony, showed it was just a minor stumble. ''We were looking for something like that after last week,'' prop Brent Kite said. ''We went out there, put the head down and got the result.
''During the week, all the boys were keen to not really dwell on it and not go looking for too many problems - the fact was, they [Wests Tigers] played some pretty good footy. That being the case, it wasn't too hard to fix. [Just] a bit of mental application.''
Their victory was about as close as teams get at this time of year to a consistent 80 minutes.
''We felt fairly comfortable that we had the game in hand most of the way there,'' Kite said. ''If Killer [centre Jamie Lyon] had kicked a few goals, we probably would have been breathing a bit easier a bit earlier.''
Lyon kicked two goals from eight, so the score could have been 48-8 if his radar had been working.
That wouldn't have been lost on the Roosters, who have followed up their own grand final performance last year with such regular disappointments in 2011. ''They dominated us with the ball and without it,'' captain Braith Anasta said.
It might be slightly unfair on the Roosters, but this was like a training run at times for the Sea Eagles.
''They came out and settled into a routine in their game,'' Smith said.
''We were hanging on reasonably well to start with, but their execution was outstanding.''
It was put to him that the Sea Eagles were too good - that he could tell. ''I think that was pretty obvious,'' he said.

text: Here's a tiny piece of info that may point to an forthcoming Canon 5D Mark II digital SLR. On a bug report web page for a Capture One software, someone may have slipped, and as you can see, there's a camera listed there on a drop-down list that doesn't officially exist yet. Could this be a hint of things to come? The same thing happened before the Canon 40D was released a few months ago, and now it's real. Rumor has the update to the popular Canon 5D coming as early as sometime this month. Well, we have noticed a couple of price drops on the 5D in the last two months. Discuss. [Photography Bay]

Hooray! Finally, a day without any rain in the forecast so I can do a bisque firing!
Late yesterday we were out on the boat and took a ride up the river to see if I could catch any photos of the shoreline, shore flowers, and hopefully an egret or heron. There's so many things out there in nature to look to for inspiration. We did see a blue heron but, unfortunately, he flew off before I got a chance to get close enough to grab a shot. (Did I mention its hard to snap shots with a chatty and fidgity 4 year old in an aluminum boat)
I've been curious about the movie function on my digital camera for a while and how it would look once I uploaded it to YouTube. Unbelievably, I've had this camera for close to 4 years now and have never used the movie function. Anyways, on our trip up the river, I tried it out. (Maybe now that I have straddled that hurdle, I can start putting together some demo clips. ) Unfortunately, I discovered, the zoom capability (macro) on my camera only works when taking still shots. For now, though, I will just have to work with the technology I have.
I had a bit of fun last night editing it with the MyMuvee AutoProducer software that came with my computer then I uploaded the clip to YouTube so see how much distortion there would be. I am glad to say, I noticed no difference playing the video off my hard drive than online. I had hoped to just upload a straight shot, but the editing software I was using (that I'm not all that familiar with yet) kind of forced me to use a "style", so I chose "classic sepia". Its not all that bad though because the sepia and the addition of a bit of music seem to distract from the roughness of the filming.
Knowlty Creek is not 2 miles from the studio. Its part of the tributary system that feeds Weeks Bay, Mobile Bay and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. Its part of the Weeks Bay Watershed. It is also part of one of the two remaining water postal deliver routes in the U.S..

Why I lost My Voice (A King Day Story)
Try this experiment. Gather a group of the cutest, sweetest, silliest, most rambunctious toddlers and little kids you know, even add a couple of bad-asses, into a room, maybe a living room. Make them feel safe. Give them rules but let them play. Give them snacks. Give them dinner. Television to watch. Books to read. Now try to predict how many of your young subjects will ever forget the day someone from the lab drops a can of teargas into the room then busts off a few rounds of ammo above their heads. If you click on a 2008 story from USA Today about the April 1968 riots in America following Dr. King's assassination, you find a photo of journalist Opal Blankenship, much more than an old lady in a red jacket if you look her story up, in front of Holy Name Church at 23rd and Benton in Kansas City Missouri. Her outstretched arm points up Benton toward 24th. If you followed the trajectory of her finger you'd cross an intersection, pass a gas station, then a stuccoed brick duplex, top over bottom, where we rented from the Barnes family. At the other end of the block was a pink and blue house set up high on the corner where my grandparents lived. The day Opal's recalling, April 9, 1968, there'd been something else at the 24th street end of the block too: mad dogs, riot police and the National Guard armed to the teeth. High school kids had flooded out of Lincoln, Manual and Central high schools, the designated Negro schools under Kansas City's segregated system, because the board had refused to close schools to honor Dr. King's funeral. According to a video report by the Kansas City Star and testimony by Episcopal Priest Rev. David K. Fly riot police had harassed and finally attacked them in front of city hall where they had gathered to hear speeches and meet with the Mayor. A radio personality had offered to host a dance party at the church to help the kids cool down, get attention and recover in a safe atmosphere. That's what I've learned from researching the web. Here's what I remember as a kid. A lot of big kids and teenagers were gathering over at the church, kind of milling around and talking. I didn't know if they were negroes or black people (I'll explain in a minute). Suddenly a white man in an unmarked white car came barreling down Benton Boulevard from the direction in which my Grandma and Grandaddy lived, roaring right past in front of our house. Maybe that's what Opal's describing to reporters in the picture. I don't know. Anyway, the car swirls around the intersection scattering kids everywhere and screeches to a halt. The white man jumps out and starts yelling "Nigger! Nigger! Nigger! Go Home!" He pulls a gun and starts firing shots in the air! Then a bunch of teenagers in the crowd started rocking the mans car and flipped it. The ferocious crunch of metal and glass must have been like a starter gun to the National Guard, because right then, all hell broke loose from down on 24th. Guns and rifles started shooting and teargas started flying at every house, window, car, front porch, seemed like whatever they could see, all the way down the block. I was only nearing four but I will never forget my mother Jackie pushing me and my two big brothers, Kofi,7, and Nana,8, hard down on the floor just as a couple cans of tear gas came clamoring up on our porch followed by several rounds of bullets that broke our front window. Looking back, they shot at us like we were snipers. They didn't see a terrified mother without a gun, a man, or a man with a gun to protect her children. They simply saw niggers. The power went out and the fire came up. Now, I don't remember this, but I've since learned that police surrounded Holy Name where the DJ was hosting the dance party, blocked all the exists and started chucking teargas cans through the basement windows. The title of this post is Why I Lost My Voice. You see, the Holy Week Riots that happened in America following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., took place just a few months after my brothers and I arrived in America with my mom after she left my dad back in Ghana. My mom was an adventurous spirit and always wanted to be out there in the world, but in her twenties and with three small boys to raise, she made the decision to move back to Kansas City where she'd grown up. Segregated and hostile as it was, she knew KC also provided the support of her parents and a strong, stable, connected black community. In fact, while she was getting up on her feet, if she weren't sending me to my Grandma's house to get watched, she'd drop me off at the Black Panther free breakfast program. She knew the Panthers because they were young people she and my aunt Jerry had gone to high school with. She knew she could trust them with her baby - me! When I got to the Panther place, I loved it, but I never talked to anybody. I just did a lot of listening. Back then, fresh off the Pan-Am flight, I didn't talk to anybody except my mother, my brothers Kofi and Nana and sometimes my Grandaddy. Of course I knew to answer my Grandma fast. But outside of that, I didn't talk to anybody, not the kids upstairs, not my Auntie Jerry, not my playmates and certainly not the Panthers. Everything seemed so new and terrifying, it rendered me mute, at least to outsiders. I did listen however. My brothers and I were completely disoriented coming to Kansas City from our home in Ghana. Back there my father did some kind of important work outside the home and wore suits (a professor), and my mom taught preschool. We had friends up and down the road, most with dark beautiful skin and big smiles. Some had white skin and light curly bouncy hair. The air outside always felt good. But when we moved to the United States, that blanket of continuity in which we were wrapped, was yanked the-hell away. Everything was new. The cold. The snow. The way the kids were loud. The way the grown ups were loud. I don't know if we had a TV back in Ghana but I know we didn't watch it like we watched it here. Here we watched it like food. And the news was all helicopters and funny-sounding names and loud adults. The news was new words too, one of which was this new word 'negro.' Negro is not a word we'd ever heard back in Ghana, and based on what we ate up from the loud news announcers, Kofi, Nana and I came to the conclusion that negro meant 'criminal.' Interestingly enough, I noted that inThe Black Power Mix Tape Stokely Carmichael's mother implies she'd never heard the word negro either until she moved to New York from Trinidad. Kofi went to the local segregated grammar school. Nana went to Delano the school for crippled children as I remember people calling it. I went to my Grandma's who had said she was colored. The only other place I went was to the Panther breakfast place and they, my mother's friends, said they were black. In fact, they said that my friends and I were black, and proud to go with that. So logically we concluded that these negroes had to be somebody else. And as a proud black man ('I am not a boy. I am a man.' saying that got you an extra milk from the Panthers), heck, as a good American, I sensed that you had to keep one good eye out for those negroes. Who knew what they might do. So the day of the riot, while stuff was still brewing over by the church and despite my mother's warning, Kofi, Nana and I crawled on the floor over to the front window to see what we could learn about this crazy place. Who was Dr. King? Maybe this happened in America all the time. Maybe there were negroes out there. In the few minutes we had to observe, I saw a bunch of people, including some black kids I recognized from the neighborhood, including this boy we used to call banana shoes, because he seemed to only have one pair of big raggitty dress shoes to wear sunshine or snow, church time or playtime, no matter how much we teased him. I saw a few grown ups we recognized too, colored people like my grandparents, talking quietly in little groups. But I couldn't spot definitively, for sure, for certain, a single solitary negro. But we did see this crazy white man come roaring down the street to start some unholy mess. Post Script: Watching Kerry Washington in Tanya Hamilton's Night Catches Uson Netflix the other night brought this memory roaring back out of the silence just in time for Black History Month 2013 and Dr.King's Birthday.

Wildlife officials investigate deaths of three moose
The Associated Press
HOT SULPHUR SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Colorado wildlife officials asking for the public's help in finding who shot a cow moose and her two calves in a subdivision between Granby and Grand Lake.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials say a hunter near Mountain Shadows Estates heard several shots Wednesday morning and later found the three animals had been shot in an empty lot in the subdivision. No one immediately approached the carcasses to claim responsibility.
The case is being investigated as a poaching incident.
People who illegally kill a big game animal and abandon the carcass face fines and a potential prison sentence, along with losses of hunting and fishing privileges.

Despite current low crude oil prices, most companies in the oil and gas industry plan to invest the same amount or more in digital technologies now and in the future, according to a new survey by Accenture and Microsoft Corp.
The international oil companies, national oil companies, independents and oilfield services firms surveyed agreed that digital adds most value when enabling people and assets and the driver for continued digital investment is improving operational efficiency, rather than simply reducing cost.
Mobility, infrastructure and collaboration technologies currently represent the biggest investment areas across the oil and gas industry. Over the next three to five years, investments are expected to increase in big data and the Industrial Internet of Things/Automation.
The key reason companies are investing in digital technologies is to improve operational efficiency.
Digital technologies that enable people and assets are considered most important.
Workflows and processes that create bottlenecks and physical and cybersecurity are the biggest barriers to gaining value from digital technologies.
This is the fourth Oil and Gas Digital and Technology Trends Survey funded by Accenture and Microsoft. The 2015 survey collected insights from 229 oil and gas industry professionals including engineers, mid-level and executive management, business unit heads and staff, project managers and geoscientists from a cross-segment of the industry. Conducted in April 2015 by Tulsa, Oklahoma-based PennEnergy in partnership with the Oil & Gas Journal.

Sport-Touring Motorcycle Reviews
A sport-touring bike blends the features of a sportbike and a touring bike. Sport-tourers are more comfortable and with greater luggage-carrying capacity than a sportbike, but far more agile than a ponderous luxury-touring rig. They have a more relaxed, upright seating position than sportbikes and usually come with some sort of saddlebags.

You are bidding on what I assume is the original UNCUT, unedited version of Star Wars 3. I bought this at a flea market 3 weeks ago thinking it was probably fake, however, it is the original 3hr and 20 minute version of Star wars 3 before they started the editing process. Since I have seen the theatrical version, this version is over 1 hr longer and much more detailed and, I assume, is what George Lucas had in mind for us viewers before the edits. Origination Disclaimer: I have no idea where or how this unedited version originated, it is neither trademarked or marked copywritten nor does it have end credits, it appears to have been strung together by someone at the editing company and comes complete with editing markers.
Q: Hi, are you willing to do a buy it now and how much? Thanks, Tim A: Tim, I have just posted some in my ebay store since ebay is probably going to cancel my auction tomorrow, so I've heard from other ebayers. Q: How much is shipping? and how much is your reserve? What schnes are different and included...? what you're describing sounds like what is onthe net. A: shipping is free, there is an hour of extra footage the xtra scenes are many and filtered all the way through there is no way to pin which ones are extra. I am not sure what is available on the internet. Re reserve, that takes all the fun out of bidding Thanks!
