Running with Legends at the Eugene Marathon
My Dad, Dr. Larry Dunlap, had run a few marathons back in the 70's. In fact, his last marathon was the former Eugene Marathon (then called the Nike Marathon) over 30 years ago! Just long enough to forget his dehydration-cursed experience and sign up for another. I thought for sure he would come to his senses and kick down to the also-challenging half marathon, but come race day he was ready to take on the full 26.2, complete with some new eating and hydration strategies. I offered to run with him, but he preferred a solo attempt. I threw in an incentive and offered to fly him to Boston should he beat the 65-69 age group qualifying time of 4 hours and 15 minutes, but he was wisely focused on finishing with grace and no staple-gunned-to-the-toilet episodes on his home turf.
My goal for this race was to do some speed work. I figured I would start out at an aggressive pace just under my anaerobic threshold (around 160 bps) and see how long I could keep my form (which is usually about 10-12 miles), then slow down to retain my legs for the upcoming Quicksilver 50m. This is the first year that I've been serious about speed and tempo work, so I was curious to see if there would be any proof in the pudding. Lord knows those sessions hurt the most. If there's no proof in the pudding, I'm going back to just eating the pudding. ;-)
We gathered outside of Hayward Field for the start around 7am, and the memories already started rolling. I recalled watching the Prefontaine Classic as a young boy, doing endless stair workouts in the grandstands with my high school ski team, and falling asleep in the field while pretending to study during my college years at the University of Oregon. Yep, I've spent some time in this town! The historic Hayward Field has never looked so good, thanks to recent upgrades to host the Olympic Trials in a few weeks. Perhaps a few more local names will join the list of Eugene legends.
My early morning breakfast of oatmeal, Vespa, OptygenHP, and Kaboom Energy Drink hit the spot and had my legs jumping, so I only packed a few more gels for the race. The early morning was a chilly 48 degrees, but we knew it would warm up so I opted for a tank top and sleeves (oh so sexy). I found my way up to the 6:30/mile pace group among the 1,700 marathon starters and snapped a few pics before local hero/US Olympic Marathon team runner Dathan Ritzenhein sent us off.
The crowds were awesome right out of the gate, cheering on every corner and ringing their cowbells. What a great running town! I didn't stress too much about my pace this early and just tried to keep up with all the gazelles around me. My mind was easily preoccupied with rekindled memories at every corner. The house where the Women's college rugby team lived (easily the best college parties in town), the church where my boy scout troop would meet, the soccer field where I lost my virginity (ha, ha, just kidding). So many distant memories that feel like yesterday…memory lane has a weird way of making you feel young and old at the same time.
Each mile marker on the course had the name of one of the Eugene running legends, which usually sparked a conversation among the runners. When we passed Marla Runyan (mile 4), I glanced at my watch for the first time and we were just under 25 minutes. Whoa! I definitely found a fast pack of runners. But my heart rate was still in the right zone, so I kept cruising along.
The turn at Kathy Hayes (mile 5) brought a chilly headwind, so four of us took turns working as a pack the best we could. I could pick out the track runners among the group, for they got faster every time we hit a corner. We shared some verbal encouragement with the masses headed in the other direction before jumping on a bike path and working towards Amazon Park (where I drank my first beer, natch). I was keeping an eye out for Bobby Lee, a college friend who was taking on the Eugene Marathon for the second time. Bobby had found out last year that when you spend 5-6 hours in a race, you get mighty hungry. This year he asked Christi to bring some chicken wings out near the halfway point (she overcame her vegetarian gag reflex enough to have a bucket ready at mile 17).
The crowd near Bill McChesney Jr (mile 7) was at least a hundred people, putting on a great show of support as we rounded South Eugene High (my alma mater 21 years ago…gulp!). As we headed up into the hills again, we passed the leading group of women who were all within a minute of each other. I stuck close to Tim Knox, a 48-year-old member of Portland's Red Lizard Racing Team, who set a solid pace up and down the hill and into the UofO campus. Tim kept checking his watch and saying "this is awfully fast", sharing with me that his marathon PR was 2:48. He asked what my goal was, and I said a 2:55 would be nice so that I could get a guaranteed entry into the NYC marathon. He just laughed and said "you can start walking now".
I didn't quite get the joke until we hit mile 10 in 1:02:11. Holy cow, this was fast for me! Tim passed the spot where he had cramped the previous year (and had to drop) and picked up the pace with his renewed confidence. I just stuck with him, trading off the lead as we ran in the focused silence of our pace.
We entered Springfield, where Tim got a water bottle from his wife and the "look of confidence" that renewed Tim's faith that he must be doing fine. We hit the halfway point in 1:21 and change, and turned onto the rolling river bike path that would be the terrain for the remainder of the run. Tim had a big smile on his face…"new half marathon PR". Sweet! Either that, or we both rooked it big time.
As we ran past Alton Baker Park (where I used to jump my BMX bike into the man-made lake…don't laugh, BMX is an Olympic sport now!) and the McMenamin's Mile (mile 17), we finally started pulling in 50-year-old Joe Sheeran whom we had been chasing for miles. Joe is like Tim, an impossibly fit Masters runner, and he was glad to have some company. He said he hadn't seen anyone in nearly six miles! We all ran together for about a mile before Tim surged again, and I stuck with him.
At this point, I wasn't doing my fair share of pulling from the front of our pack of two. Tim was really running strong, and even a new headwind didn't slow him down much. I kept focusing on my form and keeping my turnover going as fast as I could. At Cathie Twomey Bellamy (mile 20), I let myself check my watch again….2:04:28. I had to do the math in my head a few times to figure out we were on a 2:42 pace. I checked with Tim, and he confirmed – we were killing it!
We crossed the bridge and started heading back, and at Maria Mutola (mile 22) I began battling a side stitch and hamstrings that were burning like hot lava. I could push hard to the end, but I wanted to stick to my training goal and save something for next weekend. 22 miles at this pace, wow! I eased up to 7:00/mile and walked a few steps at the remaining aid stations to get in lots of water, while Tim pressed on at full speed. I still managed to catch a few runners on the last section, but a few caught me as well. I crossed the finish line in 2:47:22, good enough for 21st place. Ten minutes off my marathon PR, and I felt great at the finish. I think I can officially say that the training is paying off. ;-)
Tim had finished in 2:44, winning the Masters division and setting a new PR. I thanked him for his help as we watched Joe finish right behind me in 2:47. I got some food, changed my clothes, and targeted 4 hours to go back and watch for my Dad. By the time we got back, we missed him…because he finished in 3:48!!! That's a 2:55 when WAVA age-adjusted. What a rock star! When I told him he was ready for Boston, he said "I don't have to run another one, do I?". Spoken like a champ who gave it his all. Bobby Lee also came in strong at 4:59 (a new PR), and he didn't even need the chicken wings.
We snapped a few pics and hit the beer garden for a pint of the Eugene Marathon Ale brewed up by McMenamins. My Dad must be doing just fine if he can take down a beer! We caught up with local Erik Petersen and his friend Lonn Robertson, who both had stellar races and would be heading to Boston in '09. In general, that's the theme we were hearing – wonderful weather, a great course, and awesome spectators had pulled many to personal records. As I sipped my beer, I tried to piece together what went right today (it's so much easier to figure out what went wrong, eh?). Good aerobic base, faith in my speedwork, knowledge of the course, great weather, and the speedy Tim Knox whom I was lucky enough to pace with on a breakout day of his own. Gotta be happy with that.
My thanks to the volunteers and Race Directors who put on a spectacular race. I can chalk up one more fond memory of Eugene, and this one will certainly make me feel younger. Next up, the Quicksilver 50m…

I got an e-mail already asking what my speed work entailed. Not a whole lot really - one track session per week alternating 6-8 x 800 at 2:45 (the dreaded Yasso 800 drill) and 5-6 x 1 mile at 5:50. I also started doing two tempo runs per week, fitting 1-4 mile stretches at 6-6:30 min/mile in the middle of a 6-8 mile run.
Also on a side note, I won't be able to make the WS Training Run on Memorial Day wknd. I will be in Santa Barbara with family, and it was too much to try and fit in. I hope you all have a great time!
SDWhat a great time spent in your old stomping grounds with your dad. Sweet deal. Congratulations on your 2:47 marathon, wow! Good to know nothing serious developed from the twisted ankle at Mt. Diablo, only reason I got within sight of you.
See you at Quicksilver this weekend. Promises to be another good day of running.- Anonymous5/08/2008 08:55:00 AM
Hey Scott,
I think one of the big reasons for the PR is doing the speed work in combination with a final long, and most importantly, fun training run at Boston 3 weeks ago. You've proven that you if throw in some goofy easy long runs, the body is recovered and relaxed to jam it when you want to. Remember, the ultimate goal is to take down Anton, Meltzer and others at WS! Wear some more Bleeker outfits until then! - Anonymous5/08/2008 09:04:00 AM
other great read! thanks for sharing that experience, scott.
i really wanted to do this race but couldn't because of conflicts with my school schedule.
good luck at quicksilver Congrats on a great run Scott. Amazing.
Any changes in your recovery now that you've added speed work? Any changes overall that you are doing by adding the speed workouts?
Eugene looks like a fun marathon. Would you recommend it to others? How were those bike paths? soft or hard?
Thanks for the great blog. Really enjoy reading what you have to write.
Good luck at WS!!
Chuck- Anonymous5/08/2008 10:51:00 AM
Great run at Eugene. Gotta be nice to turn off the engines at the end and still clock 2:47. On an unrelated note check out these guys,they can run practically forever!
Jamie H
firstname.lastname@example.com I'm blown away, Scott, congratulations! Also to your dad.
I used to do those Yasso runs, but could never keep them below 2:55. Am I supposed to think I can do the same (training like that, or marathoning 2:47)? I doubt it, but maybe I'm just being....chicken...or lazy. So you've definitely earned permission to dust me at Quicksilver!I should clarify on my speed work:
6-8 x 800 with a TARGET of 2:45. Rounds #5-8 tend to add 5-15 seconds. I take a day off afterwards, since it usually hurts like a MF.
Also, I added this speedwork gradually, starting with 1 per week in March, 2 in April, now 3 in May. This was after four months of pure aerobic stuff.
Charlie & Eudemus - Good points that genetics and that LS run at Boston may also be a factor! You guys know my training better than I do.
And yes, I am a bit more sore than usual. Hopefully will be ready for QS...
SD- Anonymous5/08/2008 04:03:00 PM
Yeah, but watch out if Lance starts logging the miles you do.
A great accomplishment nontheless. Well done. Ditto, what Jasper said. At TRT last year (for the 2 hours that I stupidly ran with him), he and I talked about what would happen if you ever raced without your camera. I see a sub-2:40!
Also, I know of at least one Fleet Feet Bend employer (who will remain anonymous) who you have inspired to get off his lazy butt and train so he can throw-down a sub-2:50.Great post, Scott. I love to read stories about parents and their adult kids still doing cool stuff together. On the topic of speed work, this past Wednesday morning real early at our local high school track I did my first track workout in many years with a buddy who's training for his second Ironman. I'm a former 2:56 PR marathoner from decades ago and was able to hang with him (I'm 51 and he's in his early 40s) as he grilled me through 14 - count 'em - 14 quarters at a 90 second, or 6 minute per mile pace. We did a very slow 220 recovery between each lap.
So for readers who are older and wiser (okay, slower) runners like me, getting back on the track at even a slower-than-Scott-Dunlap pace gets the heart rate soaring and wakes up those fast-twitch muscles. If you're like me, afterward, you'll feel an almost spiritual accomplishment.- Anonymous5/09/2008 03:16:00 AM
Congrats on a great race. Really great coverage, takes me back to the days I used to race. Someday..
ReplyDelete Jasper & Sean - Put down the camera?!? Blasphemy! Kidding aside, I probably should try at least one. Maybe an unscenic course so I'm not tempted. Sean, you definitely have a sub-2:50 (probably sub-2:40) in your future. Go 1:22 in the first half, and you'll have plenty left.
Tanaka - I'm surprised about your 800 pace, because I swear I've seen you split a 50-miler under 3 hours on many occasions. You gotta have serious leg speed for that. I'm sure you will have no worries at QS - I'm still feeling Eugene, and it's tomorrow!
Jim - 14 x 400!!!! You are a madman. That's a lot of sprint work for any age.
Another training note I thought I should add - during my speed phase, my recovery days increase to about one every 3-4 days instead of one every 6-7 days. No scientific method, just flat out exhausted more often. ;-)
SDScott - does your dad need any encouragement (unrelenting arm-twisting etc.) to go to Boston next year? He seems like such a great guy. I hope he won't mind if we contact him and see if we can horn in on some training runs with him.
Great write-up about Eugene. Thanks. I love having people was poetic about my hometown - even when the poets are homies also.
BTW, the Twilight Meet at Hayward tonight was pretty spectacular - just like when I was a kid sitting up in the old green, cedar benches watching Ryan, Salazar, Prefontaine, and the rest of the gang. Although, I don't think we ever had a Presidential contender interrupt the meet when I was a little kid. It was pretty fun for everyone (especially Vin L.) to have Barrack there.
Best wishes for QS - glad its you and not me. LonnI'm sure it is against some blogging/comment rule to go totally off-track during a thread, but I read a quote this morning that I just had to share. Scott (being the apple) doesn't fall far from the tree (you need to read to the end):
This from NPR:
The Lane County Budget Committee took a hard look at public health, mental health and emergency services last [Thursday] night. All these departments are facing serious funding cuts in the no-federal-timber-payment-renewal budget.
Jes Burns has more.
While cuts to emergency services would be largely noticed during county emergencies, the effect of cutting mental and public health services would have long-term implications.
Public health is looking at a 600-thousand dollar cut. This would mean the agency would not offer off-sight flu clinics, T-B testing in homeless shelters, and Hepatitis C testing. It would also trigger 30 percent reduction in general immunizations, and an end to the prenatal care. During public comment, physician Larry Dunlap gave what could become Public health's new catch phrase.
"In my opinion jails cure almost no one, potholes only slow us down, and in spite of our love of animals, most of us eat them every day. Community health pays dividends for generations."
I LIVE for comments! Please add your thoughts, let me know you stopped by, etc., and be thoughtful of others. Always best if you sign your name, of course.

When I started running, I had one of those brick Walkman tape recorders with the big foamy yellow headphones that covered my ears. When I was a freshman in high school, that thing kept me company as I walked the 2 mile trip home while listening to tapes one and two of The Wall over and over (no wonder I'm so messed up). I tried running with it and I would attach the belt clip to my shorts which would eventually be dragging around my knees, so that's where that trend started. The tape player turned into the slimmer and more compact CD player, which turned into the iPod which has gotten smaller and more convenient over the years. The one thing that has always bugged me about running with any of these devices are the wires that inevitably get tangled around my neck, arms, and legs. It doesn't matter where I put the player, and I try running the wires through various routes under and around clothing, through homemade holes in shirts, hats, and miscellaneous orifices, the wires always find a way to get tangled up. There are math geniuses that are currently studying this problem (seriously), but in the meantime, Sony has developed a simple solution, and I have come full circle back to the Walkman.
Sony Walkman W-Series Mp3 Player |
I rarely use headphones. When I'm on the trail I like to tune in to my surroundings, not to mention that I am scared of rattlesnakes and mountain lions and I'd rather listen to what is rustling in the bushes than the sweet vocal stylings of The Dan Band. I also like to tune into my running, making sure that I am treading softly and that my breath is controlled. It is rare that running bores me and I usually find something to think about on the run; that's kind of why I'm out there in the first place.
On the other hand, there is a performance benefit to running with music, and if you don't believe me, ask Roger Bannister. There is no way he would have broken the 4 minute mile barrier if it weren't for Master of Puppets blaring through his headphones. Treadmill running is another exception. I simply can't run to the soft 80s mix that wafts lightly through the speakers of the local Y. Robert Palmer, seriously? Did I write that I don't get bored while running? I need to change that. Sometimes on runs over 6 or 7 hours, I start to get a little bored, and having some music or a good podcast has helped me through the Anza Borrego Desert, across the Grand Canyon, and over the Canadian Rockies.
I have been testing the Sony Walkman W-Series over the last few weeks and while I don't use it for every run, I have found that it will be very useful when I need to run on the treadmill and will definitely come in handy next year when I try to tackle some longer races.
What I like:
No wires, except for the wire goes around the back of the neck that connects the two earpieces.
I forget I'm wearing it.
It makes me look like Lobot, and I can pretend I'm doing chores for Lando Calrissian.
It's waterproof, so I can listen to Zeppelin's Rain Song while running in the rain.
The unit I tested is the Meb Keflezighi version, and while it won't make you run like Meb, it comes pre-loaded with running tips from the swift American-Eritrean.
It has an 8-hour battery life, which means I will only have to listen to Jess Downer for about 5 hours when we do the Zion Traverse next year.
It has 2 Gigs of storage, so it holds a lot of songs. At first I loaded it to capacity with a couple hundred songs and dozens of podcasts, but then I couldn't really find what I wanted to listen to. Then I decided to load it with enough songs for a long run and one or two podcasts from ultrarunnerpodcast.com and it was a much better running with music experience.
The headphones stay in my ears. This is huge for me because I've never been able to keep earbuds in my ears while running and I'm constantly fidgeting with them. I have had no trouble with that when using the Sony Walkman; must be the no wire effect.
What I'm not crazy about:
The controls. This is a trade-off because the main unit is in your ear rather than clipped onto some part of clothing, and the buttons are small. I'm sure that the more I use it, the more I'll get used to the controls.
It looks like a Bluetooth earpiece, and I've always found those kind of lame. Actually, it looks like two Bluetooth earpieces, one in each ear. If one Bluetooth is lame, a Bluetooth in each ear is kind of badass because you know that guy is way past the point of caring what other people think, so never mind, the look is one of the things I like about the Walkman W-Series.
The last thing is minor, and that is that it has separate software to transfer music to the unit once it is plugged into the computer. It's actually really easy to drag and drop music from iTunes to the unit, I would just prefer it loaded up in iTunes and I could manage the playlist from there.
Sony provided me with two units, one to test, load my music on, and sweat all over, and another which is brand spanking new in the box. I'll give away one of these units, you can chose which one you want.
There are two ways to enter the giveaway (double your chances by doing both):
- Like my new page on The Facebook (Sean Parker was totally wrong about dropping the "The." The Facebook could have been huge). To like it, go here and press "Like," or just press "Like" on the right side of this page. If you were one of the early adopters and already like my page, then thank you, you are already entered.
- Want an additional entry? Open up to me (it's okay, this is a no-judgement zone, stupid) and let me know in the comments section below (not on The Facebook, Grandma, but in the comments below) what is your favorite song to run to. The more embarrassing, the better. Mine is by The Roots, which isn't that embarrassing. Well, it's The Roots on Yo Gabba Gabba singning "Lovely, Love My Family." I love this song and it has gotten me through some low points in races. I'm proud to say that I love Yo Gabba Gabba, it's just like dropping acid without taking drugs. My wife really likes Muno, but I'm not sure why. So, please share your favorite running song in the comments section below.
I'll pick a winner next week. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for visiting Resin Bound Gravel Paving, we complete loads of permeable resin bound gravel paving projects for domestic homes, public attractions and other decorative outdoor spaces. Are you looking for a professional resin bound gravel paving installer in Addlestone? Then you have found the right place.
If you are thinking about having a new decorative path or driveway surface installed, resin bound gravel paving in Addlestone KT15 1 is a great option for this. We are able to install this specification for a number of outdoor spaces with a variety of coloured designs.
Clients that we often work with include homeowners, schools, amusement parks, public facilities and community areas. This stone surfacing is smooth and porous so it allows water to soak into the ground rather than sitting on top and creating puddles or flooding. Please contact our team for advice on costs and designs for the paving we install.
Resin-bound stone is a permeable gravel surfacing which may be used for a number of areas including driveways, tree pits, pool surrounds and patios. The stone is available in a number of different colours and it is finished with a smooth, decorative surface.
Since the surfacing is porous, the area will not puddle and become slippery in wet weather. We recommend cleaning the surface regularly to remove dirt and debris along with any contaminants, however, this surfacing type generally requires little maintenance. If for your surface does become damaged over time, we are able to offer repairs http://www.design-supply-install.co.uk/playground/repair/surrey/addlestone/ to ensure the area is safe for.
For more information regarding the gravel surface, please fill in our contact form and we will get back to you.
Resin-bound gravel is supplied in a wide array of natural stones. This aggregate is encapsulated with polyurethane resin to create a level, durable, permeable, stylish surface. Resin gravel paving is low-maintenance and it is also resistant against cracking. A macadam sub base is well suited for the resin-bound paving; this is simply because it is porous and it's also SuDS compliant, allowing for rainwater to pass through easily.
The porous floors may be used for numerous outdoor places; this includes walkways, driveways and the general public locations. Wheelchairs and pushchairs may move without difficulty over the surface because of the smooth texture. The porous properties of the floor also help to stop flooding and prevent puddles which could make the ground slippery and potentially dangerous.
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) are outdoor features and surfacing designs which enhance water drainage and prevent flooding in urban areas. The resin-bound gravel paving in Addlestone KT15 1 is a SuDS compliant specification due to its permeability.
Between the stone aggregate within the structure, there are lots of small gaps and air holes which let the water soak through and into the ground underneath. This stops water from sitting on the surface in puddles, and also prevents runoff into lower lying areas and surrounding areas, to stop floods from accumulating.
As many roads and pavements are surfaced in non-porous material, flooding can be a real problem in built-up cities and urban housing estates. The installation of permeable paving and other Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems can make a real difference in reducing surface water and preventing busy areas from becoming waterlogged.
This type of surfacing can be installed onto local macadam or concrete surfaces which are already in place, as long as they are in good condition and are solid. If you have a solid concrete or macadam down already, the price of the installation will be considerably cheaper, as the preparation works can work out to be quite expensive.
For more information regarding the installation of resin-bound gravel, please fill in the contact form provided. Or to find out more about the range of surfaces we have available, look here - http://www.design-supply-install.co.uk/playground/wet-pour/surrey/addlestone/ to discover how wet-pour surfaces can work for you.
To keep the stone paving looking its finest, standard maintenance should be carried out on the surface. By having a regular cleaning plan you may improve the lifetime of your surfacing instantly leaving it appearing aesthetically pleasing and keeping it safe to use.
In the event you wait for the flooring to get slippery before you begin the care plan the area could become hazardous, therefore we strongly recommend getting started with routine servicing on your surfacing without delay. Brushing the surfacing routinely is vital to ensure leaves, contaminants and debris do not remain upon the bound stone paving area. This will help the flooring to maintain its porosity and make certain water drains away as effectively as possible.
To get rid of any type of contaminants upon the flooring surface, a weed killer can be applied however it's vital never to use something oil based because this could harm the flooring.
When installing resin-bound aggregate surfaces nearby, the costs for each project varies dramatically as every client will have different designs. The larger the area size will obviously mean the higher the price, and other factors like location, sub base conditions and site access will also have an effect.
As a specialist company, we can discuss your budget with you and come up with a design and quote which is closest to perfect for you. Our services cover loads of facilities including driveways, paths, patios and car parks so be sure to contact us today for more advice regarding the installation of resin bound gravel paving in Addlestone KT15 1 along with costs.

HI-FIVE (Health Informatics For Innovation, Value & Enrichment) Training is a 12-hour online course designed by Columbia University in 2016, with sponsorship from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). The training is role-based and uses case scenarios. Also, it has additional, optional modules on other topics of interest or relevance. Although we suggest to complete the course within a month's timeframe, the course is self-paced and so you can start and finish the course at anytime during a month's time period. No additional hardware or software are required for this course.
Our nation's healthcare system is changing at a rapid pace. Transformative health care delivery programs depend heavily on health information technology to improve and coordinate care, maintain patient registries, support patient engagement, develop and sustain data infrastructure necessary for multi-payer value-based payment, and enable analytical capacities to inform decision making and streamline reporting. The accelerated pace of change from new and expanding technology will continue to be a challenge for preparing a skilled workforce so taking this training will help you to stay current in the dynamic landscape of health care.
This course is one of three related courses in the HI-FIVE training program, which has topics on population health, care coordination and interoperability, value-based care, healthcare data analytics, and patient-centered care. Each of the three courses is designed from a different perspective based on various healthcare roles. This first course is from a clinical perspective, geared towards physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, clinical executives and managers, medical assistants, and other clinical support roles. However, we encourage anyone working in healthcare, health IT, public health, and population health to participate in any of the three trainings.
If you would like to obtain continuing medical education (CME) or continuing nursing education (CNE) credits, you will need to have eligible credentials, complete the entire course, and complete the evaluation survey at the end. The HI-FIVE team verifies after each month that these requirements have been met and then a separate certificate (fee may apply) is distributed to you from our accreditation office.

Well folks, the day has finally come! I don't think I've been this excited for something since my wedding day two years ago. Seriously. That's how much I love Downton. Many of you guessed from my hints that my favorite character is Lady Violet, the Dowager Countess and from the sound of it, I am not alone. She really does add such a lively element to the show, which is why I couldn't help but design this KAL project around her.
The photo above features the accessory that inspired this KAL. In Season One, Lady Violet wears black, ruched, lacy fingerless gloves (though they were probably called gauntlets in 1912) to dinner and I couldn't help but be inspired to knit something similar but a tad more practical for modern times. Adorned with a Rosebud Lace pattern (inspired by her award wining roses) and some other pretty details that will be revealed as the KAL progresses, these gauntlets would surely please the Dowager Countess to no end. So without further adieu, I give you Clue # 1 for Lady Violet's Dinner Gauntlets!
If you are just now jumping in and have managed to miss my first blog post, be sure to go back and read that before reading this one.
Alright, lets get this prim and proper dinner party started. Shall we?
Yep, I drew on my arm with permanent marker. |
-Knit one row with project yarn (all stitches on the needles should now be in your "real" yarn, not your scrap yarn)
-Knit 4 rounds.
Well folks, this brings us to the end of Episode # 1 and Clue #1. This was a pretty big clue as I needed to set you up wit info for the entire project so this will probably be the longest post and set of directions in the KAL. Of course, if you have any questions or anything seems unclear, please feel free to private message me on Ravelry or post it to the Ravelry group! We are all there to help you!
I hope you all enjoy the first episode tonight and look forward to discussion on Monday!
Happy knitting!
PS. If you would like to print this page, the easiest and best way to do it is to copy all of the text and paste it into a word document. Then, print the word document. Easy peasy. :) The PDF of the pattern will be available once the KAL is over.

Howard Stern will keep on buzzing!
After much speculation, NBC confirmed on Monday that the shock jock would indeed be returning for a second season as a judge on "America's Got Talent."
The radio personality himself also shared the news with listeners this morning on his Sirius XM program.
Madonna should replace Sharon Osbourne on "America's Got Talent," says Nick Cannon
"I'm very, very excited, honestly, about going back to 'America's Got Talent,'" he said. "I'm very excited to be working again with [executive producer] Simon Cowell and NBC and all the various folks who work there."
The announcement comes just weeks after Stern told E! News that he was unsure if he would be back.
"I'm still working on the decision about 'America's Got Talent,'" Stern said at a "Breaking Dawn Part 2" screening last month. "You know, like the Magic 8 Ball, the answer is still fuzzy."
U.S. & World
Well, the answer is obviously much clearer now.
(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

Rick Santorum, who pitched himself as the true conservative in the race and used a platform focused on social issues to come from well back in the pack to be the main challenger to Mitt Romney, announced this afternoon that he is suspending his effort for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
His decision means Romney — already well ahead of his rivals and unlikely to be derailed — is virtually assured to be the GOP nominee who will face President Obama in November.
Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, told a gathering of reporters in Gettysburg that his three-year-old daughter's battle with a genetic disease, and her hospitalization over the weekend, "did cause us to think ... about the role we have as parents." And he concluded it was time to step aside from the campaign trail, where his campaign no longer appeared to have time left to stop Romney from being the nominee.
Santorum said the campaign has been "miracle after miracle. This race was as improbable as any race you'll ever see for president."
But "this presidential race is over for me," he added at 2:37 p.m. ET. Santorum took no questions from reporters.
Update at 3:07 p.m. ET. Video:
Courtesy of the PBS NewsHour, video of Santorum's statement is here.
Update at 3:02 p.m. ET. Paul And Gingrich Respond:
Both former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, are out with statements claiming the "conservative" mantle.
The two are far behind Romney in the race for delegates.
Gingrich saysthat he is "committed to staying in this race all the way to Tampa so that the conservative movement has a real choice."
Paul says in statement from his campaign that he is "now the last — and real — conservative alternative to Mitt Romney."
Update at 2:46 p.m. ET. Romney Salutes An "Able And Worthy Competitor."
In a statement just released by his campaign, Romney says:
"Senator Santorum is an able and worthy competitor, and I congratulate him on the campaign he ran. He has proven himself to be an important voice in our party and in the nation. We both recognize that what is most important is putting the failures of the last three years behind us and setting America back on the path to prosperity."
Still officially in the GOP race, along with Romney: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas.
Update at 2:42 p.m. ET. No Mention Of Romney:
Santorum did not speak about Romney, other GOP contenders or President Obama. NPR.s Don Gonyea reports, though, that Santorum adviser John Brabender says the former senator has spoken to Romney and that they two will talk again "at some time in the near future."
Our original post, from 2:05 p.m. ET:
Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum is supposed to speak with reporters in Gettysburg, Pa., within the next few minutes as reports circulate that he will suspend his bid for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
The Washington Post, ABC News, NBC News and CNN are saying he will put his campaign on hold — often a not-so-veiled way of stepping out.
According to Politico, "Santorum's staffers won't say whether he will remain in the race, as he prepares for his first event since leaving the trail for the Easter holiday and to spend time with his hospitalized daughter."
Three-year-old Bella "suffers from a rare genetic condition called Trisomy 18," as The Associated Press reports.
In recent weeks, of course, Santorum has been the main challenger to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's bid for the nomination. He has won 11 events, but is well behind Romney in the race for delegates to the GOP nominating convention.

As a waste producer in Cwmbran - Torfaen understanding what is required to ensure you are compliant can be time consuming, costly and confusing. Through listening to our customer we developed a new waste compliance service based on the issues our customers tell us they struggle with requiring assistance to ensure they remain compliant. The proactive approach we take means we are able to identify any future or potential changes to legislation. Clarification of change and sourcing ways to limit the impact to our customers is all part of the role responsibilities of our compliance champions (in house experts).
Our compliance service includes:
- EA premises registration
- Pre-acceptance audits
- Consignment Note Compliance, filing, copying and tracking
- Duty of Care Compliance filing, copying and tracking
- Clinical Waste Policy
- Clinical Posters
- Waste Segregation & Colour Coding & Advice
- De-mystifying EWC & Hazardous Waste Coding
When you use our compliance service you can be confident your waste streams are compliant, managed, registered and up-to date leaving you free to manage your business.
EA Premises Registration
You must register with the Environment Agency if you are generating more than 500kg of hazardous waste per annum. This means you are complying with the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Your EA registration number will then appear on all hazardous waste consignments, which is required under the hazardous waste regulations.
EA Premises Registration Questions
- Can my waste be collected if I do not have an EA Premises code?
If you are producing more than 500kgs of hazardous per annum the waste company will not be able to collect your waste unless you are registered. It is important that you keep in mind this 500kgs per annum includes; not only your clinical waste, but also any chemicals, pesticides, electrical equipment, lead acid batteries, fluorescent tubes and other waste types.
- How do I know when I have reached the 500kgs threshold
We are asked this question almost daily and the answer is complex hence why we have set up the compliance service it means having the weights of all your hazardous waste streams and or knowing how to obtain this information.
Pre-acceptance waste audit
The Environment Agency has imposed a legal requirement in the Environmental Permits for Disposal sites to ensure that producers of clinical waste carry out audits of their waste before it can be accepted.
To ensure your waste is suitable for any chosen method of disposal, all your waste streams must be audited, documented and communicated to the final disposal site. Failure to do this may leave you in breach of your duty of care responsibilities, which can lead to prosecution and unlimited fines.
As a result, the disposal contractors accepting your waste from us for disposal require us to demonstrate that we have obtained this audit information from our customers before it can be legally accepted and disposed of.
Waste Pre-acceptance questions
- Who has the responsibility for undertaking pre-acceptance audits in Cwmbran
The waste producer is responsible for providing a compliant waste pre-acceptance audit to the waste contractor, however, the audit can be undertaken by the waste producer, the waste contractor or a waste management consultant.
- Can any member of staff complete an audit?
The person undertaking the audit must be �suitably trained and competent�. In practice this means that the person must have a good working knowledge of HTM 07-01 (segregation, colour coding, etc.) and the pre-acceptance guidance in EPR 5.07 (the Environment Agency guidance for clinical waste facility operators) as a minimum.
Consignment Notice
In England and Wales, it�s a legal requirement (under the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005 (as amended)) for every movement of hazardous waste to be accompanied by a hazardous waste consignment note. The Environment Agency (in England) and Natural Resources Wales (in Wales) are legally entitled to charge a fee for each movement of hazardous waste. The fees are used by them to pay for regulating hazardous waste management.
Consignment note questions
- How long do i have to keep my HWCNs for?
Waste producers must keep the producer copy of each consignment note for three years from the date of the collection.
- What happens if i lose some or all of my HWCNs?
Principal Hygiene have invested in technology to track all HWCNs we provide for our customers, we send all consignment notes by email, copies are attached to the customer account where weights per consignment are measure, monitored and reported.

Yesterday was our last day in Austin, Texas, where it is hot hot HOT, so in saying goodbye to the sizzling weather I've dedicated this luscious limoncello recipe to my favorite Southern city. We have had an absolute blast enjoying good friends, music and food, and can't wait to come back soon.
Limoncello is one of my favorite drinks during the holidays and hot summer months. So, before it gets scorching in Southern California and I start craving limoncello's bright, citrusy sweetness in a champagne cocktail, I peeled a few lemons, plunked the peels into a bottle of good-quality vodka, and made it myself. And, really, that's all there is to it!
To start, just grab a full bottle of good-quality vodka and 6 lemons. Peel the lemons, scraping off any bitter white pith as you go, and add them to the vodka. Place the bottle in a dark cabinet, and one week later, combine the lemon-vodka mixture with a homemade sugar syrup.
Then…. presto, chango, alakazam! You have refreshing, citrusy sweet limoncello. Amazing in a champagne cocktail, as an ingredient in homemade ice cream and as I'll show you soon, limoncello-cream cheese cupcakes with fresh lemon curd!
Homemade Limoncello
- 6 lemons
- 1 bottle (750 ml) 100-proof vodka , I used Svedka
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 ½ cups water
Also needed:
- 1 large glass bottle with tight-fitting cap, a bit larger than 750 ml
- Wash the lemons with a vegetable brush and hot water to remove any residue of pesticides or wax; pat the lemons dry.
- Carefully peel the lemons with a vegetable peeler so there is no white pith on the peel. NOTE: Use only the outer part of the rind. The pith, the white part underneath the rind, is too bitter and would spoil your limoncello.
- In a large glass jar (1-gallon jar), add the bottle of vodka; add the lemon peels. Cover the jar and let sit at room temperature for at least one week and up to forty days in a cool, dark place. The longer it rests, the better the taste will be. (There is no need to stir - all you have to do is wait.) As the limoncello sits, the vodka will slowly take on the flavor and rich yellow color of the lemon peels.
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and water; cook until thickened, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Let the syrup cool. Strain and discard peels from limoncello mixture. Add syrup to the limoncello mixture.
- Store in a bottle with a tight-fitting cap and keep in the freezer until ready to serve.
- Cheers!

Clayton Kershaw (5-3, 2.95) vs. Kenshin Kawakami (0-7, 4.66).
COMMENTS: Is it premature to call Clayton Kershaw a stopper? Because of the seven games this season the Dodgers have won when he's started, six have come after a loss. Of course, yesterday's defeat to the streaking Braves wasn't too much of a surprise, given that the Dodgers had swept the last-place D'backs by a series score of 7-4.
Don't let Kawakami's 0-7 record fool you. "In his past three starts, the right-hander has completed 18 2/3 innings with a 2.41 ERA," MLB.com tells us, and with Manny off-kilter, Ethier still trying to find his rhythm and everybody but Jamey Carroll swinging toothpicks, Kawakami might feel right as rain against this poorly made-up offense.

Singer, TV reality star Jenni Rivera dies in plane crash
(CNN) -- Millions of fans on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border are mourning the death of Jenni Rivera, whose performances of soulful ballads sold out concert halls and made the singer a household name for many.
Crews searched for the remains of Rivera and six others Monday amid the wreckage of a plane that crashed in a remote, mountainous area in northern Mexico on Sunday.
"The plane was totally destroyed. ... It is a great tragedy," her brother, Gustavo Rivera, told CNN en Español.
There were no survivors, and the singer's publicist, lawyer and makeup artists were among those killed, he said. Family members were planning to travel to Mexico on Monday as investigators work to determine what caused the crash.
The small Learjet plane that Rivera was flying in was 43 years old, the state-run Notimex news agency reported, citing the director of civil aviation for Mexico's Transportation Ministry.
Collecting evidence at the scene could take up to 10 days, Alejandro Argudin said, according to Notimex. The wreckage, which includes personal items that belonged to the singer, was spread out over an area that spans up to 300 meters (more than 320 yards), officials said.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said Monday that it was dispatching a team to help with the investigation.
According to records from the U.S. agency, the airplane was substantially damaged during a 2005 accident when it struck a runway marker near Amarillo, Texas. At the time, the plane's pilot reported losing the ability to steer the twin-engine turbojet.
As the investigation into Sunday's crash continued, fans, family members and entertainers said they were devastated to learn of Rivera's death.
"The world rarely sees someone who has had such a profound impact on so many," Universal Music Group said in a statement. "From her incredibly versatile talent to the way she embraced her fans around the world, Jenni was simply incomparable. "
Known to fans as "La Diva de la Banda" or The Diva of Banda Music, Rivera was well-established as a musical powerhouse with her Spanish-language performances of regional Mexican corridos, or ballads. For fans, the nickname captured her powerful voice and the personal strength many admired.
In recent years, she had been working to crack the English-language U.S. market and was reportedly on the verge of a crossover with a sitcom inspired by the success of "I Love Jenni," a Spanish-language reality TV show on Telemundo's mun2 network.
Speaking on the U.S. Senate floor Monday afternoon, Sen. Marco Rubio described Rivera as "a real American success story."
"She was a singer in a genre of music that's largely dominated by males, and she brought a powerful voice to that genre where she sung frankly about her struggles to give her children a better life in this country," the Florida Republican senator said.
Rivera sold 15 million records, according to Billboard, and recently won two Billboard Music Awards, including favorite Mexican music female artist.
But she started out small.
In an interview with CNN en Español in 2010, Rivera spoke about how she once sold cans for scrap metal and hawked music records at her family's stand at a Los Angeles flea market.
"It is very flattering when they tell me that I'm a great artist, a great entertainer, that when I'm on stage I can get in the recording studio and come up with a great production," she said. "But before all of that, I was a businesswoman. I'm primarily business-minded."
Rivera eventually became the owner of several companies, including Jenni Rivera Enterprises, which produced and marketed her music, a fragrance brand, a jeans factory and a television production company.
Rivera was nominated for Latin Grammy Awards in 2002, 2008 and 2011. In October, People en Español named her to its list of the 25 most powerful women.
She was beloved by fans as much for her music as her over-the-top lifestyle that was chronicled in "I Love Jenni" on Telemundo.
Born in Long Beach, California, to Mexican immigrant parents, Rivera released her debut album in 1999, according to her website.
She followed that up with two more albums, including the 2003 album "Farewell to Selena" -- a tribute to slain Tejano star Selena Quintanilla -- that increased her popularity.
Her father, Pedro, and two of her brothers also are well-known performers in Mexico and portions of the southwestern United States.
Famous for her music, she is also known for her tumultuous personal life. The singer was a single mom at the age of 15 and is the mother of five, her website said.
In 2009, she made headlines when she was detained at the Mexico City airport with tens of thousands of dollars in cash.
A year later, she made headlines again with the marriage to former baseball pitcher Esteban Loaiza, who played for the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. In October, she announced she was filing for divorce after less than two years of marriage. It was her third marriage.
She told CNN in 2010 that she wouldn't let scandals or personal tragedy stop her.
"Staying defeated, crying and suffering was not an option," she said. "I had to get off my feet, dust myself off and press on. That's what I want to teach my daughters."
"I Love Jenni," which began airing on mun2 last year, featured her life on the road, balancing the duties of motherhood and stardom as she toured Mexico and the United States.
Rivera's openness about the problems she faced won her a devoted fan base, said Raul Molinar, a Dallas-based radio DJ who interviewed the star several times.
"She was a real woman," he said, "and she would express her feelings -- onstage, off stage, anywhere,"
Rivera also was a judge on the popular TV show, "The Voice, Mexico," which was scheduled to air Sunday night. In its place, Televisa aired a special report about the singer.
A fellow judge on the show took to Twitter after news of Rivera's disappearance.
"My heart is devastated," wrote Beto Cuevas. "All my prayers are with you, Jenni, and your family."
Fans and celebrities took to social media to mourn the singer and television star.
"Spent some time with Jenni Rivera recently. What an amazing lady ... Cool, smart, funny & talented. Such a travesty ... God Bless her family," actor Mario Lopez tweeted.
Rivera performed at a concert in Monterrey on Saturday night before boarding the Learjet, which took off early Sunday and lost contact with air traffic controllers about 60 miles into the trip.
Just hours before she died, Rivera opened up to reporters about her divorce and the inner strength she found, thanks to her family.
"I'm so happy. So many strong things have happened in my life. I can't get up in the negative, which destroys you," she said.
"I have brothers. I have children. I have nephews. And they keep me from focusing on the negative."

The new HTC One Android smartphone is announced, stepping up against Windows Phone 8
HTC has announced the HTC One, a new Android-powered smartphone. The device is made from an aluminium uni-body and is the company's attempt to stop the current down spiral by releasing new, unique hardware. So what's included in the new Android smartphone and how do the specifications compare to the latest Windows Phones?
Sporting a 4.7-inch Super LCD 3 display and designed using a single block of aluminium, it's an attractive look. A quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 CPU and Adreno 320 GPU provide enough horsepower for apps and games. The chip manufacturer boasts a 40 percent improvements over the previous Snapdragon S4 Pro. It's still more processing power than any Windows Phone requires for a smooth experience.
32GB and 64GB options are available, and the HTC One features 2GB of RAM. LTE is supported, but what's interesting to note is the camera. HTC is boasting a BSI sensor, 4MP, with OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation - hello Lumia 920), an F2.0 aperture and a 28mm lens.
There's a 2,300 mAh embedded battery inside to provide enough juice to last the day. It's quite subtle and we're probably looking too much into the new button layout on the bottom section of the display, but it resembles Windows Phone slightly, with the main logo in the middle (albeit HTC and not Windows) with a single button on either side. We've got to look at it with our platform in mind, right?
As well as the new hardware, HTC has also implemented some improvements with its software too. The HTC One is running Android 4.1.2 and HTC Sense 5 (HTC's custom UI), which includes a Flipboard-esque "BlinkFeed" view. A more traditional Android home screen experience and a revamped app drawer is also bundled.
Moving onto audio, we're looking at dual front stereo speakers and Beats Audio. HTC is branding all this sound technology as "BoomSound." It's quite the package overall, which could end up saving the company in the Android market. We'll have to look at how HTC will improve on the 8X and 8S to compete against Nokia, Samsung and Huawei in the future.

Pretty cute right? well they're not that simple to make but they are definetly worth the time. It took me 2 hours, I burnt my finger and I left my kitchen messy but I still think that they are one of the best things I've ever made.
- 2 1/2 tablespoons of grenetin
- 1 c. of corn syrup
- 1 1/2 c. of sugar
- 1 c. of water
1. In a large bowl dissolve grenetin with 1/2 c. of water. In a medium pot combine sugar, 1/2 c. of water and corn syrup, cook on low heat until sugar dissolves and then let it boil until it reaches 240°F.
2. Beat grenetin and add sugar mixture slowly, continue beating on high speed until it becomes white and fluffy. Take 2/3 of the mixture and put it in another bowl. Beat in 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the remaining mixture and pour it in a pan.
Cover with 1/3 of white mixture. Beat in 2 tablespoons of Nesquick strawberry powder to the remaining mixture and pour it in the pan. (at this point it will be really sticky so you need to make it fast) Put it uncovered in the fridge for at least 8 hours.
Dust knife with powdered sugar and slice it |
Cover them with powdered sugar and they are ready to eat |

So: What did you think of the Sopranos finale last night? As unsettling as the ending was (I won't put a spoiler, but if you haven't watched it by now, I likely won't be the cause of your spoiler-type problems), I like it better than the alternative of definitiveness. My favorite TV critic, Tom Shales, called it "ingenious," and I agree.
NBA Finals: Spurs go up 2-0 on the Cavs. I should say "Finalzzz." If the NBA had a Finals and nobody bothered to watch, does it make a sound? The Cavs are so overmatched, it's not funny... or pretty... or interesting... or anything.
The Cavs' one chance to make this anything but a done-deal is to sweep the three games in
Tony Parker: 30 points. I know he gets to play with
MLB Stud: It's been an unusually quiet season for Albert Pujols on the "Stud" watch, but he makes it this morning with a 2-HR game yesterday. (A-Rod had one, too.)
NBA Rumor of the Moment: Celtics shipping No. 5 pick to Suns for Shawn Marion? It's a win-win.
If the Celtics want to win now, they need to make this move. And, let's be honest: In the "win now" context,
For the Suns, they will miss
Arenas Watch: OK, so maybe I overreacted about Gilbert opting out of his Wizards deal after next season. But he's just so unpredictable, I don't like even the possibility he'd leave, even though I'm pretty sure the Wizards will lock him up with the biggest deal possible.
Tennis: Nadal shuts down Federer (again). Roger will simply have to concede that his all-time-best career happens to coincide with the career of the greatest player ever on clay. It's like having four criteria for "greatest baseball pitcher" and "how you throw a knuckleball" is one of those criteria.
NASCAR: Looks like Jeff Gordon is back.
F1: Hamiltonian greatness. Every "niche" sport needs a poster athlete, from Tiger (PGA) to Sharapova (WTA) to Danica (IRL) to Beckham (MLS). F1 needed a superstar to break through with an American audience (to the extent it even can): Lewis Hamilton is that guy.
TV Gimmicks: ESPN is launching a "Who's Now" segment on SportsCenter that will seed 32 active athletes into a bracket and have viewers vote on who is the ultimate athlete.
OK: As a veteran architect or consultant on plenty of ESPN.com brackets in my career, let me save everyone the trouble: Tiger Woods is going to win.
In case you missed it, I spent the weekend guest-blogging at Deadspin for the vacationing MJD. I'm still recovering.

BARRE, Vt. — State officials around the country are rebelling over a powerful new painkiller that law enforcement and public health authorities fear could worsen the nation's deadly scourge of heroin and prescription drug abuse.
On Thursday, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin announced an emergency order that would make it harder for doctors to prescribe Zohydro, an extended-release capsule that contains up to five times the amount of narcotic hydrocodone previously available in pills.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick went even further last week, ordering an outright ban on prescribing and dispensing Zohydro until it is marketed in a form that is difficult to abuse.
Some health authorities say addicts can crush the capsules, thwarting their slow-release properties, and then snort or inject the drug for an immediate and extremely powerful high that can prove lethal.
The Food and Drug Administration approved Zohydro last fall, and it hit the market last month.
"What puzzles all of us is the recent FDA action to approve a new opiate that's stronger and likely to be even more addictive because of its strength," Shumlin said. "Zohydro has been approved by the FDA to the bewilderment of many of us."
Vermont Health Commissioner Harry Chen said of the FDA decision: "One might wonder if they're on the same planet."
Prescription drug abuse is the nation's fastest-growing drug problem, with more than 4.5 million Americans abusing pain relievers, according to a 2013 Drug Enforcement Administration report.
Law enforcement and public health officials say that for many people, prescription painkiller abuse can pave the way to heroin addiction. In January, Shumlin devoted the bulk of his State of the State address to Vermont's "full-blown heroin crisis."
The backlash against Zohydro has been growing since the FDA approved the drug against the recommendation of an FDA advisory committee.
Late last year, 28 state attorneys general signed a letter asking the FDA to revoke the drug's approval or require the manufacturer to reformulate the drug to make it harder to crush.
Also, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., introduced legislation that would compel the FDA to withdraw the drug.
San Diego-based Zogenix, which makes Zohydro, said that it has set up a board of experts to guard against abuse and that its sales representatives are not being paid based on volume, but rather on their efforts to ensure prescribers, pharmacists and patients understand the medication's risks and benefits.
Zohydro belongs to a family of medicines known as opiates or opioids. Others include morphine, heroin and oxycodone, the painkiller in OxyContin.
Its painkilling power comes from hydrocodone.
The FDA said Zohydro meets its standards and provides an important option for patients with chronic pain. The agency, which in 2010 approved a crush-resistant version of OxyContin to discourage abuse, said abuse-deterring formulations of Zohydro are in the early stages of development.
Vermont's emergency rule includes requirements that prescribers conduct a thorough medical evaluation and risk assessment.

With my pickled carrots and daikon radish made I was ready to move onto making the banh mi sandwiches. A Bánh mì sandwich is a Vietnamese sandwich typically consisting of the pickles, cucumbers, cilantro, chilies, pâté, mayonnaise and a meat all wrapped up in a baguette made from both wheat and rice flour. Other than skipping the pate and using an all wheat baguette, I wanted to keep my sandwiches as traditional as possible which meant that the only real decision left was what meat to use. Well, that wasn't much of a decision either given that it was a shrimp sandwich what inspired me to make the banh mi sandwiches in the first place and I was still craving that shrimp sandwich! Of course, I could not simply saute or grill some shrimp and throw them into the sandwich because I would be missing out on the opportunity to add some flavour and I knew just how I wanted to do it. I am a huge fan of savoury Vietnamese caramel dishes and one of my favorites is the Vietnamese caramel shrimp, or tom rim , and I figured that the sweet and salty caramel shrimp would be perfect in the banh mi sandwich.
The banhmi sandwiches are pretty easy to make once you have the pickles ready and all you really need to do is quickly cook the shrimp and assemble the sandwiches. You just have to like it when something so easy to make is so wonderfully good! The flavour combinations in the banh mi sandwiches are simply amazing! The succulent, sweet and salty shrimp were delightful with the creamy mayo and both went well with the tangy pickles. The juicy cucumbers cleansed your palate in between bites leaving you ready for more and the cilantro added a particularly nice freshness reminding you of summer and really taking the sandwich home. The only problem that I had with these sandwiches was trying to resist having seconds right away! 🙂
Vietnamese Caramel Shrimp Banh Mi
- 1 baguette (cut into 4 sandwich sized lengths and sliced in half)
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 pound caramelized shrimp (see below)
- 1/4 cup pickled daikon radish
- 1/4 cup pickled carrots
- 1/2 cup cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup cilantro (loosely packed)
- 2 birds eye chilies (sliced, optional)
- soy sauce to taste
- Assemble sandwiches and enjoy.
Vietnamese Caramel Shrimp
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 shallot (finely diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deviened)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- pepper to taste
- Heat the sugar and water in a pan on medium-high heat until it caramelizes and turns a dark brown.
- Carefully add the water and heat until the caramel dissolves.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a pan.
- Add the shallot and garlic and saute for 3-5 minutes.
- Add the shrimp, caramel sauce, fish sauce and pepper and cook until the shrimp is pink all over, about 2-3 minutes.

WASHINGTON – Members of the U.S. Helsinki Commission praised the courage of 18 Romani applicants from the Czech Republic who brought suit before the European Court on Human Rights alleging that their assignment to "special schools" for the mentally disabled violated European human rights law and was tainted by racial prejudice. This week, a 7-member chamber of the Court held the applicants failed to prove that their placement in "special schools" was the singular result of intentional racial discrimination.
"The 18 boys and girls who brought this case – some now young adults – have spent more than six years fighting for a vital principle, the equal right to education," said Commission Chairman Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS). "In doing so, they are championing a cause pursued by Roma across Europe. Their courage and perseverance is inspiring."
During the Communist era, many East European countries developed a practice of channeling Roma into schools for children with mental disabilities, called "special schools."
"In hearings before the Helsinki Commission, Romani witnesses have told us over and over again: equal access to education is essential if progress is to be made in addressing the full range of problems they face," added Commission Co-Chairman Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ). "It is ironic that some people continue to cling to the pernicious stereotype that Romani culture is incompatible with education, at the very time when Roma are demanding equal access to education more loudly than ever."
In connection with this suit, the Czech Government acknowledged that nationwide 75 percent of Roma were channeled into special schools. In some of these schools, Roma make up 80-90 percent of the student body. The government also acknowledged that "Roman[i] children with average or above-average intellect [we]re often placed in such schools" for children with mental disabilities.
Helsinki Commission Ranking Member Congressman Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD) noted, "The decision of this Chamber of the European Court may be a set back for the plaintiffs, but I have no doubt that this case was instrumental in spurring the Czech Government to adopt several changes to its education laws in the past six years. Considering the shocking statistics, I hope the Czech Government will intensify its efforts to integrate Roma into mainstream schools and classrooms."

Frozen Lemon Yogurt - Pink Saturday
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Frozen yogurt enjoyed a brief period of popularity in the 1970's. It was touted as being a healthier alternative to ice cream, but many thought it was too tangy and its popularity faded. It was reintroduced in the 1980's and captured about 10% of the frozen dairy market. Today it still accounts for about 10% of all ice cream sales. I wish I could tell you that frozen yogurt is better for you than ice cream. That's not quite true. While it contains less fat than ice cream, it is still high in calories and can't be considered a "diet" food. Regular readers know that I love citrus desserts. What they don't know is that sweetened lemon yogurt is one of my favorites. If you freeze it, I'm in paradise. The sugar in this recipe helps balance a combination that would otherwise be too tart. This is almost effortless to make if you have an ice cream maker. It can, however, be made without one if you have time and follow the directions you'll find here. This is a perfect dessert for Easter Sunday or a spring fling. I hope you'll give it a try. Here's the recipe.
Frozen Lemon Yogurt...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
4 cups (32 ounces) plain yogurt
1-2/3 cups sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
4 drops yellow food coloring, optional
Combine yogurt, sugar, lemon juice and peel in a bowl and mix well. Stir in food coloring if using. Freeze, following directions that come with your ice cream maker. Transfer to freezer compartment of refrigerator and let sit for several hours before serving. Yield: 5 cups.
