Kako Ice Trekkers Ultra Review [Product Discontinued]
December 29, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 10 Comments
Every tourney needs a loser and iRunFar's traction device throw down has one – the Kako Ice Trekker Ultra [Product discontinued]. The Ice Trekker Ultra did provide additional traction on ice, but its three competitors clearly outclassed it more or less across the board. In a crowded field of able competitors, leave the Kako's debut […]

Gu Roctane Review
December 9, 2008 by Bryon Powell · 22 Comments
If you hang around running stores, outdoor retailers, or sporting goods stores nearly as much as we do, then you've probably noticed Gu Roctane along side the other energy gels over the past few months. You've also likely noticed that it's between 50% and 100% more expensive than the competition. As any personal insight we […]

What Is a Trail?

During a run commute sometime last autumn I found myself wondering, "What is a trail?"

By PATRICK SUNDSTROMEmery
Dear Editor,
I have been paying close attention to the behavior of the democrats in the House and Senate since the election. I can now say with some satisfaction the democrats have finally shown everyone who they really are. They hate America, especially our military, and they love our enemies. When Newsweek magazine published a completely fictional story about how our military is treating the terrorists we are holding at our prison in Cuba, the democrats not only sucked it down but amplified it.
Last week, Sen. Dick Durbin-D-Illinois, standing on the Senate floor, compared our soldiers to Nazis and Communists who ran death camps in Europe during WW II and the Cold War. They only problem Sen. Durbin has is no terrorist has died in our "Death Camp." In fact, they eat better than they ever have in their lives. They are given new Korans and have five prayer sessions a day.
It sickens me that the democrats could ally themselves with any enemy of America. I hope Americans in these democrats home states will hold them accountable in the next elections. There is an enemy within our country, they call themselves democrats.

Bought Another Pair - Stylish and Comfy
"I love these boots! The heel and detail makes them very stylish and cute. The foot area and shaft run a little narrow; I'm usually a size 5, but had to get a 6 in order for them to zip up. I bought a pair in black, and purchased a second pair in grey."

So cute, but not for me
"I LOVED how these boots looked online. I was hoping they would look just as cute on me. But, they ran a bit narrow and tight in the foot and I could not get them zipped up around my calf although others were more successful. Curse my big calves! I had to return them and ended up getting a pair of Bare Trap Rawnie booties instead, which I love :)"

Very Stylish Boot
"With the colder weather, I needed another pair of tall but stylish boots with a low heel to wear to work. These boots are perfect. The only con is that you do have to break them in as they fit tight around the toe area. After my second time wearing them, they felt much better."

just ok
"These look pretty cheap. Of course they are pretty inexpensive. The toe was a little tight for me. I'm considering returning them."

What consumers eat and, most importantly, when they're eating it has changed significantly in recent years, signaling opportunity for operators able to capitalize on this evolution.
For example, some 83% of consumers said they were daily snackers in 2016, according to Technomic's Snacking Occasion Consumer Trend Report . That's up from 76% just two years earlier. Snacking is growing across many channels from retail prepared foods to bakery and coffee cafes, fast-food locations and more.

Labor secretary nominee Andy Puzder has officially bowed out of consideration for the cabinet position, according to the Associated Press .
Puzder, CEO of CKE Restaurants—the parent company of Hardee's and Carl's Jr.—was tired of being under fire for hiring an undocumented immigrant as a nanny and being accused 26 years ago of physically abusing his wife, an unnamed source told CBS News . The agency reported that Puzder was unlikely to show for the start of his confirmation hearings tomorrow.
Puzder has also been attacked by organized labor for comments suggesting that...
Risley Dining Room at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., has just become 100 percent gluten-free, 14850.com reports.
For the past two years, the university has slowly phased out gluten in the dining hall's menu by eliminating it in its stir fries, biscuits and brownies.
Instead of offering gluten-free versions of typical college fare, including pizza and pasta, the dining service team aimed for more sophisticated restaurant-style items.
Along with being gluten-free, Risley is also peanut free and tree-nut free.

James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va., recently hosted a weeklong program called Weigh the Waste, which aimed to show students how much food gets wasted in dining halls, The Breeze reports.
Throughout the week, students placed food they were about to throw away on a scale located near the trash bins at one of their dining halls. At the end of the week, the school tallied the waste and saw that 817 pounds of food had been wasted.
School officials hope that the annual program, which it's hosted since 2015, will remind dining hall patrons to only take as much food as...

Rompers by DKNY (left) and Dolce Vita.
There's no mistaking the value of an easy sundress in summer's high heat, but today we're talking about the unsung counterpoint to the traditional hot-weather uniform: the romper. As effortless as a dress with the carefree bonus of not having to worry about a wayward breeze, it's time to recognize the wardrobe-workhorse potential of the romper.
It's tough to envision a playsuit as a dressed-up option, but it's not to be underestimated. Match a classic silhouette with a few well-placed accessories, and you're ready for work or fancier affairs. Try a DKNY romper with a Thakoon blazer, Pour La Victoire tote, and Elizabeth and James sandals.
Casual does not mean unrefined. Reserve the smock-top terry romper for the beach and instead try on a sweet Dolce Vita romper in crisp cotton and airy silk. Wear it with Rag & Bone flats, a Nixon watch, and not much else.

Derek Hall co-authors Policy Forum paper in Science
Sep 9/13
Derek Hall is one of the co-authors of an article entitled "Certify
Sustainable Aquaculture?" that appeared in the September 9, 2013 issue of
Science, one of the world's top scientific journals. The article argues
that while certification is making a contribution to sustainability in
aquaculture, it also has serious limits, and should thus be seen as just one
approach among many to reaching this goal. The paper can be accessed at the

Last fall, for the first time, the Networker held a two-week virtual conference called "State of the Art." The idea was to collect together the most provocative articles, inspiring Symposium addresses, and compelling online courses that had appeared in the various media platforms through which the Networker carries on its mission of furthering the exchange of ideas and information throughout our field—our magazine, annual conference, and year-round program of online courses and interviews. Through the miracle of modern digital technology, "State of the Art" allowed a worldwide audience of therapists from more than 15 countries not only to experience this material, but also engage in an ongoing conversation about it.
In addition to highlighting what we thought of as the Best of the Networker, "State of the Art" offered an entirely new program of sessions that accomplished something rare in our field—an opportunity for debate and dialogue among prominent figures exploring the important issues shaping current practice. What follows are excerpts from three of those dialogues, which proved to be the most-discussed events.
By Jerome Kagan and Dan Siegel
At the 2010 Networker Symposium, celebrated developmental psychologist Jerome Kagan expressed his view that Attachment Theory, a view of human development inspired by British psychiatrist John Bowlby that's generated a huge research literature during the past 60 years, had failed to provide an empirical foundation for its premises and become irrelevant. In a heated confrontation at the conference, psychiatrist Dan Siegel, a pioneer in bringing an understanding of brain development into clinical practice and a strong proponent of Attachment Theory, interrupted a workshop to challenge Kagan's assertion. Their exchange became the happening of the entire conference. As part of State of the Art, we invited Kagan and Siegel to have a follow-up discussion. What emerged once again became the dramatic highlight of the gathering for many, but this time, for their unexpected agreement, rather than their differences.
Q: Could each of you take some time to talk about what you consider the key factors in early development and the weight you give to each of those factors?
JEROME KAGAN: First of all, to talk about development broadly without endpoints gets us nowhere. So let's take as criteria the problems that most therapists deal with each day: bouts of depression, anxiety, suicide attempts, drug addiction, problems with the law as young adults. How can we predict these symptoms from early and later life experiences?
My view is that each of these symptom profiles is multiply determined: there's no single cause for any one of them. As I reflect on my research and all I've read—and I read a lot—one can make general statements about the order of importance of certain factors that lead to different symptom profiles.
I'd begin by looking at the temperamental biases that a person was born with. Then I'd look at the person's social or economic class as a child. Were they born into poverty, a blue-collar family, the middle class, or an elite family? Next I'd look at their experiences with parents in the opening years of life.
Then I'd look at the patterns of identification at age 5 to 6. Was a grandfather arrested? Was a parent an alcoholic? These patterns of identification can have consequences that are very different from those created in the first year of life. A child could have had a loving mother in the first year and learn at age 6 that his or her grandfather was Hermann Goering, which could precipitate a depression, despite a secure attachment to parents at 1 year. The child's ordinal position in the family makes a small contribution. Was the child an only child, first born, second born, or third born? Finally, the culture and historical era are influential.
No psychologist knows the varying influence of each factor for an individual. That's for future scientists to determine. All we can say today is that these are the ingredients. The first four are the most important; the others are less important, but they have power.

While the Utah Army National Guard was in Emery County for training they had the chance to participate in a real rescue. Six overdue rafters were reported missing by the wife on one of those on the float trip. The group put in at Fullers Bottom with the intent of floating down to the Swinging Bridge and they expected only to be gone a few hours. The trip did not turn out as planned due to the low water conditions of the San Rafael River. Many places were muddy with extremely low water and the group had to hike and carry their raft as they tried to make it out. They spent the night of June 11 along the river. They were cold due to the lack of a fire. The group was not prepared to spend the night. On Tuesday they resumed hiking. By then news of their plight was brought to the attention of the Emery County Sheriff's Office who enlisted the help of the helicopters to search by air for the hikers. Their general location was known. The air search began assisted by several members of the Emery County Search and Rescue. They located the hikers along the river. They were separated and after the helicopter set down, the other members of the party were located and brought to the helicopter where they were transported to a location near the Wedge Overlook.
One of the hikers/rafters reported she didn't think they were going to make it. "We were exhausted and dehydrated. I really prayed a lot for someone to come and help us. I really thought we were getting near the bottom, but they told us it was another 10 miles out." To the rafters the sight of the helicopters was a welcome relief. Their group was treated for heat exhaustion and dehydration and medical personnel started IV in the field. One of the group was transported to the Castleview hospital. The others were taken by the Emery County Sheriff's Office deputies back to their vehicles so they could return home after they were transported by the helicopter to the Wedge area where they were met by an Emery County ambulance and personnel.
The soldiers are members of the Utah Army National Guard's Second Battalion, 211th Aviation.
In keeping with the Utah National Guard's mission to respond at the request of state and local authorities during emergencies, the 2-211th (Second of the 211th) were grateful to be able to assist in the rescue with such good results.
UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crews were in the area and were asked by the Emery County Sheriff's office for assistance as they were going to have a mock rescue that morning for a lost child at Joe's Valley, but the training turned into a real time rescue for the stranded rafters.
The Utah Army National Guard unit responded immediately, transporting Emery County search-and-rescue personnel. The 2-211th crew located the missing rafters and landed the helicopter nearby. Emery County Sheriff personnel administered first aid to the tired and dehydrated rafters.
Emery County deputy AJ O'Neil said he received the call on Tuesday morning just as his shift was ending and he went to the Swinging Bridge to try to locate the vehicle of the rafters. They had left a vehicle at the Swinging Bridge and one at Fuller's Bottom. He assisted at the scene when the rafters were rescued along with Deputy Shaun Bell and Sgt. Les Wilberg.

Typically speaking, sports fans tend to worry about two things – the past and the future. They'll debate who was the greatest player of all-time, while also spending hours discussing whether or not a rookie is going to be develop into an All-Pro.
Both are fun exercises, things that keep fans engaged and the beer flowing at the local tavern. But they miss out on what is most important – the present.
Forget about yesterday. Never mind tomorrow. Let's talk about today.
Who are the best players in the NFL right now? Who can help a team win the Super Bowl this season? Who is writing a legacy with each passing week?
Those are the questions the editors at cover32 seek to answer in this series, "Top 10 in 2014." In the coming weeks, every position – as well as head coach, general manager and other off-field areas – will be graded, evaluated and ranked.
The series continues with the men who sign the checks – team owners. Across the league, there are examples of good ones and bad ones, and they can make or break a franchise's chances of winning. If an owner isn't involved enough, the organization probably doesn't have enough of an emphasis on winning. But if he has his hands in too many things, his meddling can derail even the best-laid plans. It's a fine line, a tightrope between hands on and hands off.
Let the debate begin!
10. Jeffrey Lurie
While they don't have a championship to show for it yet, the Eagles have won a lot of games under Lurie's stewardship. Partially, it's because he's willing to take chances, like signing Michael Vick and hiring Chip Kelly. Not a lot of owners would have gumption to make those kinds of decisions, taking the heat that came from certain circles with each move, but Lurie proved he has the stomach to be a great leader.
9. Arthur Blank
The man who made his money starting Home Depot has done a great job rebuilding the Falcons, a franchise that was a perennial doormat when he purchased the team in 2002. Good hires, including general manager Thomas Dimitroff and head coach Mike Smith, were the key to the turnaround. Last season's dismal performance was an aberration; Atlanta is an annual contender now that Blank's in charge.
