So last week my husband and I got back in the pool after taking the summer off to spend time at the beach with our daughter, she is obsessed with the ocean and boogie boarding with her dad even though she is only 2 lol. I am currently 12 wks 5 days pregnant with our second one (exciting), and I also plan that to be our last if everything goes well, so staying in somewhat good shape is exciting because I know that its not all for nothing in the future. These past four practices I have to stop when I get tired and basically take it down a whole notch. I did not swim through the pregnancy with my first child, so not really sure how it will go. While I do get out of breath much easier than normal and have to make stops, yesterdays Masters practice didn't go too bad. I did a 400 free warmup (with like 2 stops) then 8x 50 (free drill/back drill) on 1.00 and then 3 x (200 free, 100 IM and 4x 25s fly sprint) ( I didn't do any of this set on any real interval just got enough rest.) Its great to be back in!!
This weekend I have a swimmeet at the Ocean County Y.
I am swimming the 50 fly, 500 free, then literally these right in a row, the 200 breast, 200 IM and 100 fly. It stinks I will have to do a 100 fly right after those two, I can imagine the piano falling hard haha. My 200 IM is what I am most looking forward to improving, in practice I have been doing a good amount of each stroke. So we will see. I guess I should not sign up for so many things if I really want to do better lol, but I am still used to signing up for a million things and doing everything from when I was young. At least the 50 fly sprint I get to do first. My goal is to just improve my times from things I swam in October.
The past few weeks I have managed to try and get into the habit of gym and pool once a day, 4x a week if possible. Running has seemed to help with controlling my breathing when in the pool (for some reason I was always feeling out of breath). Anyways, I wish everyone a good weekend of training or swim meet!
This is not in the order of the training trip. The real next practice, the pm session had like 4x75s with a pipe, one you can get at home depot, fill with a bit of sand, use stoppers, and then you do catchup with it, its actually fun but I dont have it at the moment.
So this would have been day 3, am session, thats what Im going to do for this afternoon. (times made for longcourse so, do whatever works for you, I'm doing it in a yards pool and I dont think I would even make the intervals right now depending on what it is haha, ill just take a few seconds rest)
2 x
2x 150 @ 2.20
4x 50 bk (6 kick and switch) @ .55
2 x 150 @ 2.00 (strokes then 10 kicks in streamline underwater)
4x 50 breast @ .55
2x 150 @2.20 swim free with fists
4x 50 (right, left arm fly) @ .55 (repeat set as stated)
10x 100 @ 1.35 ALL OUT free
4x 75 catchup @ 1.15
2x 200 kick @3.50/4
4x 75 @1.00 free
2x 200 kick @ 1.55/2
4x 75 IM @1.15
2x 50 @.55
yardage around 7,000 yards? (havent recounted it since log entry)
Going to start off this year using some old practices from my former coach, will edit them a bit (ie take off a round/repeat where needed lol) These practices from this training trip honestly took my swimming from where I was going nowhere to havign my best season ever. So I found my old log book and decided to start the new year with them.
Yesterday I did this practice and it felt great. Took me like two hours at the pool though, did have to share the lane at one point. (The 250s helped with breathing, it was a bit hard because I would be in the middle of the 20 kicks underwater and then have to go right into a flip turn and keep holding my breath which was good.)
There were time intervals but it was made for longcourse and for young chickens so I just took five seconds rest.
Here it is....
500 warmup (i added), 3 lengths free, 1 bk
2 x
250 (5 strokes then 20 kicks in a streamline underwater)
150 backstroke
150 race free
150 breastroke
250 (3 strokes then 10 kicks streamline underwater)
50 fly (repeat set as stated)
2 x
6x 50 catchup free
2 x 150 kick (i did breast first round then free)
6 x 75 IM on 1.15
600 free with pull bouy and paddles (repeat set as stated)
100 warmdown = 5,850 yards (unless I miscounted)
I'll post what I have for this afternoon, hope this gives some people a fun practice to do.

So I watch way too much BRAVO tv, Real Housewives all of that. At the end of every practice that I do with my husband, we usually do around 12 x 25s fly sprint.
He goes ten seconds ahead of me, and then lets me know what my time is. When I touch the wall he will tell me my time and if anyone were sitting near us they would probably be laughing their head off because we sound like an old bickering couple. It usually goes like this:
Kyle: "Ok 13. Good."...."Mid 13"
Me: "What do you mean?? Was it 13 or really 14? Are you lying to try to boost my confidence? My coach used to pull that, dont do that, I have to improve" (....next 25)
Kyle: "ok you were almost at 12....but you hit on the 13..."
Waa Waa Waa etc. LOL.
So lately my new thing, to add humor to our 25s, is when I touch the wall, he can say a certain word when I touch depending on the time. This pretty much makes both of us choke on water at the wall with laughter. Our scale goes like this. So for a 25 fly, a 13 is greattttt. A 12 is fabulousssss. An 11 would be excellenttttttt. Now you have to imagine these words drawn out in a really hilarious over the top manner... thats where imitating characters like some of the housewives from reality shows on BRAVO comes in, really over the top. Anyways, these sorts of things do make me laugh when I'm about to do a sprint,and having fun while swimming, and having humor about it makes it worthwhile.
I have been doing consistent 13s now. A month or so ago I was doing 14-15s. So my goal is to start hitting 12s. My ultimate life goal is 11s and I would be a happy camper.
SO the past three days, I have made my poor husband come to the Y pool with me, which has been insanely busy with highschool teams, the club team...(you pretty much have to go in the morning otherwise you end up sharing a lane of a 12 lane pool with three other people but he doesnt have that option). Since Hurricane Sandy he has been working 16 hour days putting peoples power back on, and the last thing he probably wanted to do was get in the pool when he only had a few hours to sleep, but bc I havent seen him much I gave him a puppy dog face and he came with and both times he thanked me lol. So because of the pool being so busy this time of year we had a choice of either sharing one lane in the cold pool or one lane in the hot pool, with other people. Its crazy. We spent two practices in the hot pool and it was pretty nice not to be freezing my butt of. These are the times when I wish I lived somewhere really warm like Florida or California, at least I can reminisce to college days when swimming in an outdoor sunny pool was how I spent a lunch. Getting out of bed is hard in these temps! Brrrr. But the question that really came to my mind, was which type of temperature is better for training over time? I would assume warm, because it loosens your muscles etc. but then again one gets really hot and constantly has to hydrate. Hmmm..... Not important, just made me think.
Now that I am starting off fresh as a masters swimmer, I know I should be changing my training from what it was a long time ago, yes the crazy days of mega yardage, but for some reason it did work for me in the past, so I plan on using some of the crazy sets of the past occasionally maybe once a week or every other week, to build my endurance while I continue with speed work.
This set is one from a training trip to Ft Lauderdale. 14x 1,000s. On the training trip this set was done in a long course pool, so obviously that will be different than now in a SCY pool. It wasnt as boring as a 10,000 for time, because it was broken up. There is lots of IM, 10x 100s kick, 1000 IM by 250, 1000 swim, 5x 200s, 10x 100 stroke etc. I actually need to look in my old log book to see what it was. Im going to change it to 10x 1000s now.
What sparked this desire to kick my own butt? Lets just say I am a little bit competitive and it drives me nuttttttttttttttts when I'm working hard but someone kicks my a** because I'm not working as hard as I should be. LOL. So.
Because of Hurricane Sandy, I will have to do it tomorrow or wait, possible a week depending on what happens. My husband will have the privilege of watching our daughter, because this will obviously take a few hours. He works for the power company so he is actually on call, and will be working crazy overtime as of Sunday so I guess I will have to do this set tomorrow if at all, otherwise in a week. So I will see if I can do it tomorrow, but I'll have to use this new pool/gym I just joined because there is an age group meet the whole weekend at my other pool. The pool is ok, small but it is cloudy as heck I felt like I was open water swimming, before every turn I had to lift my head to make sure where I was. Doing 10x 1000s in a cloudy pool might be craziness, but at the same time its a quiet place with non-swimmers so it might be pleasant.
Tonight in that pool, because I did a lot of speedwork yesterday, I did 4x 500s mixed: 500 free (4th lap back), 500 pull w bouy, 500 breastroke (50 double kick drill, 50 swim), and 500 pull w/ bouy.
Lately in practice I have been turning red... and its in my hands and arms lol. I'm not sure if its because I havent been eating great this past week or because of getting back into shape after a week off, I dont know lol.
Todays practice with the masters team was:
500 free warmup (4th lap back)
8 x 50 (evens fly drill, odds free 3 stroke, 8 kick)
6x 50 (1 lap under, 1 lap above)
8 x 50 choice (i did all fly) on .50
400 free (i was dyinggggg) on 5.30
6 x 50 choice ( i did fly) on .50
300 free ( once again i was dyinggg) on ?
4 x 50 fly on .50
200 free
2x 50 fly on .50
and then 2x 25s race fly off the blocks
then 100 warmdown (yeah I need to do more)
This got my blood pumping. Its funny because on my own I will do more distance work, more pull and I might say ehhh what do I need the team practice for, but honestly I have loved joining this team so much. It keeps me doing intervals, burning, and I love the people. Its awesome. I seriously love my Ocean County YMCA Masters team, so thankful I live near a team like this!

After my first swim meet this weekend and a week off, getting back into the pool today I feel like poop, and at square one. Based on my time results, I realize I have a LOT of endurance work to do. The first 50 of my 100 fly at the meet was 28 and lets just say I died
. Badly haha.
Days of highschool and five hour practices are long behind me, I no longer have the ability to just go train for hours with having a 15 month old, so I will have to train smart to build endurance, and I never really had time restrictions on my training in the past. How am I planning on improving this?
1. Change my warmup from a 500 free/pull to a 1,000.
2. Instead of doing sets of 50s swim fly in practice, I will consider using my monofin and doing days with sets of 100s. Im a bit wary of using fins because for some reason it feels like it actually makes my kick weaker. So maybe I can try just swimming it straight but I think my stroke would break down too much.
3. I need to add time in the gym and do some running. My goal is to run 15-20mins each day before getting in the pool. Today I did 15 mins and it didnt feel bad at all.
4. Start doing pushups and situps.
5. I did find another local gym with a pool so I could train at night time for a second practice or do cardio,weights, hopefully this will make a big improvement.
If anyone has any ideas about how to build endurance when it comes to fly or in general, feel free to share J
So I didnt swim this whole week except for 1,000 one day, because of recent events and not being at my home. But I figured I should still do the swim meet this weekend for fun and see how it goes.
I didnt swim too well or well at all haha but it is a starting point!! And it was fun :-) Which is what counts I guess.
Monday is when the work starts again! Goodluck to everyone with their week of training.
Today I got back into the pool. My parents 25 meter pool. Last night I was on the way to go to practice in Toms River, but I told my husband to just keep driving up the Parkway north, and back to my parents house where my Ernie dog was laid to rest two days ago. Being alone in the silence at our new house was just miserable, how empty it was. I didnt even realize how much his presence filled up my life.
My daughter was put down for a nap, and knowing I have a meet this weekend (that I may or may not do), I decided to get in. I walked into the pool room, a large bright room with the sun glistening off the water from the huge French doors all around. Out the French doors is the huge farm-like backyard. I am flooded with memories. Every corner I turn.
I spent so many afternoons, spring, fall winter with him in this pool room or seeing Ernie from it. I had made it my mission that this dog was going to learn to swim seven years ago, god forbid he jumped into a random pool lol. He would jump in to be with me and I would grab his little hind legs and pull at them to make sure he kicked while he paddled with his arms. He eventually got so good he made the whole length and afterwards he would get a hot dog
and I never fed him human food.
As Im swimming, I use a bouy and paddles, sometimes pulling sets feels cathartic, the concentration on breathing and it always makes me feel more balanced and strong. After doing a 200 or so I have to stop. Because all Im thinking about are all of the million memories with this dog. How I teased him that one time and jumped into the pool, stood on the bottom looking up to see if he would come after
. and in Ernie jumped, swimming circles at the surface trying to save me. Or of all the family parties or holidays when the kids would go in the pool, and in would go Ernie on a raft trying to rescue one of them and they would all laugh hysterically. If he wasnt in the pool, he was at attention at the windows of the French doors like a little stalker, running back and forth while I swam freestyle to make sure I was alive, he always hated when I would actually start swimming and kicking instead of bobbing in the water. Or he was running around the backyard. I just keep feeling like I will see him somewhere. But hes not there. In this place, at my parents is where most of the memories were, where I would take him with me when I was on a break from college, or lawscool, back during the holidays
.through moves, and people in my life, he was always there.
I probably did a 1000 today until I had to stop because I was just getting nauseous with all of the thoughts. Later tonight I will get back in when my husband gets home from overtime at work, he can swim with me or sit by the pool and make sure I actually go through a whole practice. Being around people definitely helps and hearing the memories helps as much as it hurts and pulls at the strings in my heart. On facebook, everyone had a memory to post, because Ernie, was in fact a crazzzzy dog with attitude. My brother in law, reminded me of the time (there were three or four) when he had to take me to pick up Ernie and our other family dog from the police station on Christmas because they had run away and escaped from the electric dog fence. (Mind you of course I had dressed my dog up as Elvis that day for some weird reason, so of course the police had to mention that there was a pug dressed up as elvis)
.or one of my Moms friends who reminded me of all the times she came to visi, he decided that her suitcase was the perfect place for him to leave a little stinky surprise.
I will probably make a memory book for Ernie, and have all of my family members and friends make a contribution. Remembering all of the wonderful happy things, as much as it pulls at my heart, seems to be making losing his physical presence easier to accept.
Thank you for all of the amazing love and memories, friend. RIP
Today I am suppoesed to be happy. I turned 28. I have practice tonight. And this weekend, my first swim meet since getting back in the pool two months ago. But I am absolutley heart broken.
Yesterday I had to do something I always thought was so wrong in logic, put down my bestfriend who I have loved more than anything in the world for the past 7 years, my pug Ernie.
Ernie is/was not just a dog. He literally seemed human, with his huge eyes and facial expressions, his extremely naughty behavior, he got away with murder. I bought him as a junior in college in California, kept him in the dorm as contraband until my roomie and I moved off, and he was with me through lawschool in Rhode Island, and with my family in NJ where he would run around in the backyard with the other dog. On my wedding day he was dressed in his own little tux and top hat and was stepping all over the back of my train while I yelled for someone to put him in another room lol. He just recently made it to my husband and I's first and new home, but he wasnt himself, because he was sick. Ernie had bowel disease or cancer, the vet said that basically more tests would be futile and either way it would be chemotheraphy, suffering death and somehow by bringing my crying baby daughter with me, and crying my eyes out to the vet, they perscribed steriods that gave him what seemed like a LAzarus new start, for two months until this past week when they stopped working....he stopped eating...and he was basically starving to death and losing control of his bowels. So yesterday, while at my parents house, because I took him home so he can be where there were lots of people who loved him, I knew it was beyond time to end his suffering.
After losing control a few times he walked up to me, and I asked him if he wanted to go outside which he hasnt done in a few weeks and I did. He was sitting outside, and seemingly enjoying the fall day. And after ten minutes or so I had to go pick him up and take him to put him down. At the vet, I held him in my arms, told him I loved him soooooo much, he was such a good boy. The vet told me he would release the barbituate and within seconds ernie had died. I got this random warm feeling of intense love to the right of me, which must have been Ernie's spirit thanking me for putting him out of his misery... I buried him in our backyard in a special box with memories written all over it, with love, the pjs I had worn recently, and his first toy ever, a curly tailed racoon, literally, a toy from where I bought him that they threw in for free because when they used to let him around and run loose in the store he used to always steal it off the wall, by his head. And he is in a spot right by our outside slate porch and a rose bush, so our family and other dog will always be around him.
Cried the whole day yesterday. And I dont think of myself as a cry baby. Its just coming out, streaming. I just will miss him so much. I had to come back to my own home, so my husband and I drove back with our daughter and when we pull up to our driveway to our home which is an hour 30 away from my parents, in the dark, the only light that is turned on, is this huge stained glass angel display in the front top window space of our house that we have never turned on since being here for two months. My husbands like "omg thats so weird" and I was just sort of like I guess that means everythings ok. Even though it may be an amazing sign, I will still miss Ernie so much. Waking up today and knowing it was my birthday, and he wasnt there to let out first thing in the morning, and his sleep pillow is just there empty in the kitchen is heart breaking. I loved him so much.
How will I get in the pool tonight, how could I ever swim? How does one swim through grief? I dont know. I guess only time will hopefully help things.
But I want to go 52 in the 100 fly. My best time in highschool as a junior was a 1.00.14. Obviously I dont think that is the best I can do. I wasn't training right, actually I was training a lot of distance, wasnt eating properly and didn't have all the advantages of being an adult. So we'll see how close we are next weekend at my next meet on October 20th. I'm hoping I go a .58 next weekend but I do understand that may be a bit ambitious.... Today in practice I did repetitive 25s on 14 in practice and then three 13s, which until today I thought was impossible. I think throughtout my practice I did like 12 25's, besides the pulling 200s in between. I am still sore from yesterdays 10x 75s sprint, 11x 50s fly and 12x 25s fly with 3 25s off the block. My next goal is to maintain .13s fly and hit 12!!!!!!! I can do it!
Here goes my first entry. My husband, and our little one have just moved to our first home in a new place. Luckily I have found a really awesome USMS club and place to swim in nj. There are great people to swim with, all different abilities and some good swimmers. The fact that they have a child watch is the main reason I can even do this because someone is there to watch my little one, such an amazing opportunity.
I always felt like I have had unfinished business in swimming since I quit in college and senior year of highschool I really wasnt in it, even though I was a captain, just felt like there was so much pressure about getting into college, life, it wasnt fun. So now just feels like the right time, after having had my daughter last summer, getting back in and giving myself a year or so to see how I do will be fun.
It helps that my husband was a swimmer, a flyer too, so I have actually taken his advice about my stroke, straightening my arms and not bending them. In the past, one of my old coaches said I swam like Tom Malchow with bent arms but it was ok bc it worked for him. So when my husband pointed out my bent arms I got defensive, but then I decided to take his advice, because he was a better flyer. I've been back swimming now for two months. At first the change felt weird now it feels amazing. Now I nag him to find out what I'm doing wrong.
My 25's in the pool (doing 5-8 in a row) have gone from in two months from a 17 to a 15, from a push to touching the wall and looking up at the clock quickly. My three 25s off the blocks tonight were 13 but my dives felt horrible. Husband said I never kicked when I dove in haha. Just dove in and glided until I started swimming. I am also able to do 10 x 50s fly swim on .55 comfortably. My next goal is to do 100s fly in practice and for the 25s pushoffs hit 14 at least once or twice. (longterm goal 12!!) Off to sleeeeeeeeeeeep. Tomorrow I plan to attempt some 5x 100s fly in my practice.

Chinese fake parts 'flood' US military—Senate report
WASHINGTON – More than a million Chinese counterfeit electronic parts are estimated to be in use in US military aircraft, according to a US Senate report released Monday saying the discovery jeopardizes safety and national security.
The Senate Armed Services Committee said its year-long investigation launched by Democratic chairman Carl Levin and ranking Republican John McCain uncovered 1,800 cases of bogus parts, including on the US Air Force's largest cargo plane, special operations helicopters and Navy surveillance planes.
The 112-page report "outlines how this flood of counterfeit parts, overwhelmingly from China, threatens national security, the safety of our troops and American jobs," Levin said.
"It underscores China's failure to police the blatant market in counterfeit parts — a failure China should rectify."
The report also said the Chinese government denied visas to committee staff to travel to the Asian giant as part of the committee's probe, with a Chinese embassy official saying the issue was sensitive and that a negative report could end up "damaging" US-China relations.
While the senators lay the blame squarely on China, the report said US authorities and contract companies contributed to the vulnerabilities to the defense supply chain by not detecting the fakes, or routinely failing to report suspected counterfeiting to the military.
"The failure of a single electronic part can leave a soldier, sailor, airman or Marine vulnerable at the worst possible time," the report said.
"Unfortunately, a flood of counterfeit electronic parts has made it a lot harder to prevent that from happening."
The fakes included parts in the Electromagnetic Interference Filters used in night missions and in operation of "hellfire" missiles on SH-60B Navy helicopters.
The were also found in memory chips in the display systems of C-17 Globemaster III and C-130J military cargo planes, and refurbished ice detection modules on the Navy P-8A Poseidon, modified Boeing 737 aircraft incorporated with anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare capabilities.
The report said the Defense Department "lacks knowledge of the scope and impact of counterfeit parts on critical defense systems," and that the use of unvetted independent distributors for the supply of critical military parts results in unacceptable risks to national security and safety.

Even the SEC is hopping on the "customization" bandwagon—tailoring sanctions just for you.
Responding to criticism that it's too lax in its enforcement and its bans are too broad, the commission is "experimenting with punishments that more closely fit the wrongdoing at issue in a bid to give its enforcement cases more bite," according to Reuters.
Giving advice to pension funds or profiting from presenting investment seminars are examples of the type of behaviors it's looking at.
As the news service notes, critics of the SEC's typical broad prohibitions say they are ineffective and not well enforced. Customized injunctions could also be a more precise tool than the "blunt instrument" of barring an individual from being a company officer or director.
"In the past year SEC lawyers have slowly started seeking injunctions that bar defendants from specific types of conduct, even if that conduct is itself legal," Reuters reports. "They are relying on authority derived from the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley investor protection law that makes explicit courts' authority to follow through on the SEC's recommended injunctions."
The news comes as Mary Jo White, President Barack Obama's pick to be the next chairwoman of the SEC, testified before the Senate Banking Committee in her confirmation hearing.
In her testimony, White said that one of her "focus" areas as chairwoman would be regulating the conduct of broker-dealers and investment advisors when giving retail investment advice.
Stating that the Dodd-Frank and JOBS Acts have both placed a "daunting" task on the agency, White told lawmakers that once at the agency she intended "to personally take charge in assessing" which rules would be priorities.

The Think System
I don't know where the picture originated, but for a site like The Big Lead to get their hands on it, they either took it (very doubtful) or were sent it by someone who saw it somewhere (very likely). This means some nitwit took a picture of football players at a party and, for whatever reason, decided to share them.
Now, obviously I have some experience running a website*, so I have a reasonably good idea what led to the posting. Someone had football players at his party and wanted to show his friends at home he was hanging out with them. One of the players' friends wanted to make sure everyone saw the goofy "uniforms" they were wearing. I'd like to think it wasn't because someone wanted to get them into trouble. But any or all could have been the cause.
Unfortunately, as so many in their situation do, the poster didn't think it through and realize what posting something on the Internet does.
So often, people on message boards or social websites or the Internet in general get caught up in the individual conversations or exchanges that take place through the electronic medium and forget the wider audience involved. If you're sending an email to your buddy, Joe, it never occurs to you other people might see it if Joe decides to forward it. If you're participating in a message board thread, you're focused on your discussion with a couple of other posters, not realizing thousands of other people who aren't posting are reading it (and maybe copying it into emails and sending it to even more people). When you put something on MySpace or FaceBook (or even LinkedIn), it goes beyond your 10 friends on the cheerleading squad, and may end up with teachers or parents before it's done.
It happens over and over (as detailed by The Fire). This isn't even the first Notre Dame-related example ... I recall an email written by a recruit's dad that ended up forwarded to thousands of people. In the email, he shared some details about his son's visit to ND, including some exchanges with coaches that were meant to be private. Both the dad and the kid ended up very embarrassed over the entire thing. But again, it wasn't thought through.
I suppose what bothers me the most about it is the response in these situations is never, "Gee, maybe I should think before I post something online", but rather, "Stop harshing our buzz, man, I can post what I want." You should never blame other people because you don't think. Remember the Miranda warning: Anything you say can and will be used against you. Would you walk into your parents' bedrooms and tell them, "Wow, you wouldn't believe how many beers I had last night" as a senior in high school? Would you tell your wife about the hot girl you were flirting with at a bar when you were away on a business trip? Only if you're an idiot. But if you post it online, you're as good as doing that. Idiot.
As I've said many times about NDNation, when you open something up to the public, the public tends to show up and you shouldn't blame them when they do. Unless the medium you're participating in is somehow restricted, like a premium content website, what's said to one is being said to all. To expect people not to read your publicly-available profile or site or post because you have a right to privacy is at best self-contradictory and at worst really really stupid.
So next time you're going to hit the "post message" or "upload photo" buttons, think for a minute: Who is the absolute last person I'd want to see this picture, and what are the chances he or she has Internet access? Then think a little more.
* private joke, relax

Latest COVID-19 precautionary measures taken by Fisher & Paykel. Find out more
Some say time is the best innovator. If you wait long enough everything changes. Since 1934, we have challenged conventional appliance design to deliver world-first technologies that have changed the way we live forever. In 2014 we celebrated 80 years of innovation. Here's to discovering what's next.
Our heritage dates to the 1930's with the manufacture of designs made under licence. The pioneering spirit established by the founders encouraged a culture that challenged conventional appliance design and production systems.
Fisher & Paykel started in New Zealand when Olive Paykel asked her husband to import a new appliance - a refrigerator -that she had seen in the American Ladies' Home Journal. With the success of the Crosley refrigerators, washing machines made by Kelvinator quickly followed. Based on importing appliances from the United States, the company - now run by Olive's son Maurice Paykel and their son-in-law Woolf Fisher - grew quickly until the New Zealand government banned imports of manufactured products due to the currency being in such short supply in 1938.
Fisher & Paykel responded by deciding to change their entire approach. The government would still allow parts to be imported, so Woolf and Maurice decided to set up a factory and start assembling appliances under licence to companies such as Kelvinator.
While this was successful, by making appliances under licence, the economies of scale Fisher & Paykel could generate were limited, so finding a way to create a point of difference became essential.
The answer lay in technology. By developing plastic liners and insulation using polyurethane foam refrigerators we were the first in the world to commercialise this technology.
Around the same time, in 1955, Fisher and Paykel acquired Dunedin cooking range manufacturer H. E. Shacklock Ltd, which dominated the New Zealand domestic appliance market through this era of Government protectionism. With a history in manufacturing cooking ranges since 1873, this heritage is still shaping Fisher & Paykel's contemporary approach to cooking.
Another major breakthrough in technology came in the late 1960's when the Company saw the need to find a way of producing short runs of various models through common manufacturing machinery. Learning to control flexible machinery lines during this phase had started to create another major advantage that was to come in the future. Flexible machinery brought with it the notion of manufacturing cabinets using prepainted steel. In tandem with the Japanese steel mills appliance grade pre-painted steel was developed that enabled coiled steel to be processed through lines of machinery that could notch and pierce various sizes and shapes. The first product to incorporate this technology was the compact dryer - a ground-up design conceived by our own engineers.
Having learned about electronic drive systems through our flexible manufacturing equipment, we applied the knowledge to driving appliances. The world's first appliance using Brushless Direct Current Motors was introduced in the 1980s. This design later gave way to the development of the Smart Drive™ clothes washer.
Other significant innovations like the DishDrawer™ dishwasher and world-first ActiveSmart™ refrigeration technology further set Fisher & Paykel apart as a design-led appliance manufacturer.
More recently, this culture of curiosity and creativity has seen the development of CoolDrawer™, a multi-temperature drawer-based fridge and CookSurface™ where retractable trivets allow a flat ceramic glass surface ensuring easy cleaning. Both of these products have won multiple design and innovation awards, alongside many other products like our Kitchen Companion Range and DishDrawers™.
In 2010, Fisher & Paykel underwent a major brand refresh, rethinking the focus, look and culture of the company. The commitment to research into how people cook, how they use their kitchens, and how the role and look of the kitchen is changing, led the company to creating a philosophy around The Social Kitchen.
'The Social Kitchen' sums up Fisher & Paykel's design philosophy. The kitchen is about people. And when you think about people - their habits, the ways they live and interact - you get a richness of experience that traditional kitchen planning and appliances often ignore. The Social Kitchen is where food meets design to create food experiences that flip assumptions and start new conversations. In 2011, Fisher & Paykel launched the first of a series of events that embraced the concept of the Social Kitchen.

Still frame from Fred Parke, Faces, University of Utah, 1974.
On June 19 of this past year Miley Cyrus released a video for "We Can't Stop," the lead single for her fourth studio alum Bangers (2013). Directed by Diane Martel, the video was the first step in a massive rebranding effort by the young singer, who has transformed herself from a Disney teen starlet into a bad-girl human Tumblr. The video largely consists of the young star partying with friends, intercut with a number of visual non-sequiturs that resemble scrolling through the popular microblogging platform. The video, album, and subsequent MTV video music awards performance have sparked a number of interesting debates online and in popular press concerning sexuality, race, and appropriation. Watching the video for the first time, I was shocked, though not at the twerking or the tongue or the dancing bears. "Did you see that?" I yelled as I paused the video. "I think that was the CGI face from Fred Parke's 1974 University of Utah dissertation research." And it was.

Wondering if there are many local rock bands in the area? The answer is "plenty."
Nine bands have registered so far to compete in the Morenci Town and Country Festival Battle of the Bands.
The response surprised organizer Kent Deatrick.
"I was planning on maybe six and got 12 bands responding," he said. "We now stand at nine bands contracted to play, which is really going to be the perfect number for the contest."
The battle is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. Saturday, June 28, on the Wakefield Park tennis courts.
All the entrants will take turns playing one song until each band has performed three times. Each band will have a voting container on a table in a designated area.
Judges won't be choosing the winner this year. Instead, audience participation will determine the favorite. Every person who enters the audience area will be given a free ticket used to vote for their favorite band. The band with the most votes at the end of the competition will win $500 and the privilege of playing after the fireworks show that evening on the stage.
The sound equipment will be supplied by the Red Hill group that will perform that night from 8 until 9:30 p.m.
All bands were encouraged to find sponsors to pay the $50 entry fee. The following organizations and business are sponsoring bands: the Morenci Band Boosters, Green Manufacturing, Suhki 127 Party Store, J.S.T. Building and Remodeling, Keifer Korner Video and Melaleuca.
Bands signed up for the contest are Kevlar (Morenci); A Shotgun Summer (Morenci); Shattered Silhouette (Adrian); Chasing Chaos (Hudson); Adverse Enigma (Morenci); Stereo Static (Hudson/Waldron); Lucky #7 (Morenci); Days of Waiting (Adrian); and Through the Years (Fayette).
This year's festival is scheduled to run from June 27-29.

According to the Semiannual Regulatory Agenda for the Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration, a reproposal to amend the definition of fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) will come in October.
Despite numerous efforts by Congress and industry lobbying groups to push that deadline back—or outright derail it—all signs point to the DOL sticking to that schedule. A recent letter from 10 Democratic senators to the Office of Management and Budget, where DOL is expected to send its rule proposal sometime in September, is a good indication that those senators expect the proposal to land at OMB any day now.
Fred Reish, partner and chairman of the financial services ERISA team at Drinker Biddle & Reath in Los Angeles, told Investment Advisor that he believes the DOL's controversial fiduciary "train has left the station" and is headed to OMB.
The next step, he said, will be "to see the proposed regulation and the related proposed prohibited transaction exemptions. If the DOL has responded to the most important concerns of the private sector, then the reproposal could be less controversial than contemplated."
Both Reish and Robert Lewis, vice president of legislative affairs for the Financial Services Institute, agree that the recent confirmation of Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez as secretary for the department will not change DOL's fiduciary course. "DOL has been moving forward [on its fiduciary plan] most of the year with an acting secretary," Lewis says. "We do not expect anything to change with [Perez's] confirmation."
FSI, which has been a staunch opponent of DOL's fiduciary plan, said in a statement that it "looks forward to working with [Perez] in the future, especially as his department moves forward on their rule redefining the definition of 'fiduciary.'"
However, while the DOL may succeed in getting a reproposal to OMB by October, it could be held up once it gets there. Indeed, it looks as though the senators see OMB as a clear stalling point.
DOL is required to send its rule proposals to OMB, but the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is only required to send final rules to OMB.
Once DOL sends OMB its reproposed fiduciary rule, OMB then checks the proposal's cost-benefit analysis and gives DOL feedback on the proposal, asking for changes if necessary. DOL must then make the changes and have them approved by OMB before putting the proposal out for public comment.
As the senators—members of the Senate Banking and Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committees—told Sylvia Mathews Burwell, OMB's director, in an early August letter, they want OMB to carefully review the DOL's fiduciary redraft to ensure that it doesn't "directly conflict" with or "upend" the Securities and Exchange Commission's work on its fiduciary rule.
Given OMB's role in "coordinating and streamlining" agencies' regulations, the senators said, "We write to make you aware of the potential conflicts between these two regulations."
The senators wrote that while they believe the SEC is moving forward in crafting a fiduciary rule that adheres to the congressional mandate set out in Section 913 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the DOL, in its efforts to redefine fiduciary under ERISA, could work "at cross purposes" to the SEC's rule.
At a minimum, the senators say in their letter, DOL should not issue "final" fiduciary regulations until the "SEC has completed its work" on its fiduciary rule and that "any regulation the DOL ultimately may propose should be carefully crafted so that it does not upend the SEC's work."
The senators told OMB that they "believe that Congress clearly intended that a single [fiduciary] standard should apply to retail accounts, including retirement accounts, based on specific guidelines enumerated in Section 913."
While acknowledging that they don't know what the DOL's fiduciary reproposal will say, the senators cite DOL's 2010 proposal that they say could have caused "all broker-dealers that service individual retirement accounts to be ERISA fiduciaries, which would have as a practical matter eliminated meaningful investment services for millions of IRA holders."
SEC Chairwoman Mary Jo White told members of the Senate Banking Committee in late July that the agency is focused on crafting a rule to put brokers under a fiduciary mandate, stating that "it's important for me to get to where we are going on that [rulemaking] as quickly as we can." But exactly when the agency will release that proposal remains uncertain.
White told members of the Senate Banking Committee that she has met with senior officials at DOL regarding collaboration on both agencies' fiduciary rules and has directed staff "to engage more actively" with DOL "to make sure they understand [the SEC's] perspective" on its fiduciary rulemaking.
But she noted the "full plate" of rules mandated by the Dodd-Frank and JOBS Acts that the agency must wade through and act on. Dodd-Frank gave the SEC the authority to write a fiduciary rule for brokers, but it didn't mandate that the agency do so.
Action on a fiduciary rulemaking could also be stymied by the arrival of the two new SEC commissioners—Kara Stein and Michael Piwowar—who were confirmed by the full Senate on Aug. 2.
While Stein, a Democrat who's replacing Elisse Walter, and Piwowar, a Republican who's replacing Troy Paredes, have voiced their support for White's recent announcement that she'd be changing the agency's "neither admit nor deny" settlement policy by seeking admissions of guilt in some of the more egregious cases, neither have expressed their view on establishing a uniform fiduciary duty rule for brokers and advisors.
Phyllis Borzi, assistant secretary of labor for EBSA, the primary architect of the revamped fiduciary proposal, has been adamant since crafting amendments to the definition of fiduciary under ERISA that while DOL would take the time to "get this right," and that DOL is indeed "coordinating very closely with the SEC to make sure we don't have outright conflicts," she was not going to wait for the SEC to publish its rule before releasing DOL's. As she told reporters at a recent conference: DOL "began working on its rule" to amend the definition under ERISA "before Dodd-Frank," adding that it was ludicrous for lawmakers to think that "one statute is more important than another."

Melbourne Heart defender Aziz Behich hopes his move to the Turkish Superl Lig will help him cement an extraordinary four year transformation, from a teenager whose career looked on the scrapheap to playing in a World Cup in 2014.
Behich was due to fly to Turkey on Tuesday night to join Bursaspor, the club with which he won the Turkish championship in 2010. He becomes the latest in the conveyor belt of young talent Heart has sold off to overseas clubs.
It's been good for the club's bank balance _ it is believed Heart will earn around $400,000 from his sale, helping it to shore up its financial position.
But stability comes at a price on the pitch as the loss of their first choice left back, who recently won his first international cap, will weaken them ahead of the derby against Melbourne Victory on Saturday night.
The move to Turkey will pit Behich against high quality opposition week in and week out and should, if he can establish a first team place, help him cement his claims to be Holger Osieck's first choice left back for the World Cup qualifiers later this year and the competition itself if the Socceroos qualify.
For a young man of Turkish extraction the chance to play against the likes of Galatasaray (Bursaspor's opponents on Saturday), Besiktas and Fenerbahce is, as Behich said on Tuesday afternoon, ''a dream come true''.
''It's what I have wanted to do since I was a little kid so it is fantastic. It's all come about very quickly. I knew there was interest but its all really happened in the last 24 hours. I am flying out tonight,'' Behich said as he farewelled family and friends at his parents Broadmeadows home.
''It's a good league with some great players and tough opposition but I will back myself in in any situation. I am really looking forward to it and the chance to improve my game.''
Behich joined Heart in its inaugural season having been thrown a lifeline by its first coach, John Van't Schip.
The now 22-year-old had been an attacking midfielder or winger with Melbourne Victory's youth team and had been elevated to the first team squad by Ernie Merrick, where he was often used off the bench. He came on in the grand final loss to Sydney in 2010 and missed a late chance to seal the win for the navy blues, and his cards seemed to be marked with Victory after that.
He was released by the club and was playing in the Victorian Premier League when Van't Schip took a chance on him, deciding to convert him to a left back.
He has made remarkable progress since then.
''To make a move to a club that plays Champions League football is a dream come true and I really can't thank Melbourne Heart enough for giving me this opportunity. I will miss the fans and miss being around my old team-mates,'' Behich said.
Heart coach John Aloisi said he was disappointed to lose Behich, but did not want to stand in his way.
"To take Aziz from the state leagues of Victoria to face the likes of Didier Drogba and Wesley Sneijder is something Melbourne Heart can be enormously proud of. It hurts to lose him at this stage of the season but how can you stand in the way of a player fulfilling his dreams.
"It's a great opportunity for the club to continue to grow and a chance for Aziz to establish himself as a genuine international for Australia."
Since June 2012, Melbourne Heart has transferred youngsters Eli Babalj, Curtis Good, Brendan Hamill and now Behich to leading international clubs despite the quartet having only five A-League games between them prior to joining Melbourne Heart.
Babalj has just returned to the club, his former employer Red Star Belgrade having failed to meet all the financial demands of the transfer.

The Apennine Mountains is a mountain range that stretched from north to south, along Italy's east coast. The mountains linked Florence to both Romagna and Forlì. Several hamlets, farms, and a church could be found in the mountain range.
In 1480, Leonardo da Vinci was offered a commission in Venice, and thus took a carriage into the Apennine Mountains during his journey from Florence to the port in Romagna. After assassinating Jacopo de' Pazzi, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze followed the artist into the range.
There, Ezio found Leonardo alongside his broken cart, where he was attempting to fix the shattered wheel. The Assassin helped him repair the carriage, and caught his first glimpse of Leonardo's Flying Machine, which was loaded into the back of the cart.
Together they set off for Forlì, from where they would take a boat to Venice. However, Borgia guards on horseback pursued them through the range, setting fires in front of them, and attempting to board the carriage itself.
The two managed to evade their attempts, and upon reaching the mountain range's end, Ezio told Leonardo to go ahead in the carriage, while he stayed to take care of the guards.
- The mountain range was the only location to be entirely devoid of guards and shops.
- It was also the only location in Assassin's Creed II to feature a piece from the Assassin's Creed soundtrack, entitled "Dunes of Death."

MIAMI (AP) — Alan Gordon celebrates his 31st birthday Tuesday. Maybe U.S. Soccer will give him a cap.
Gordon is the fifth-oldest player currently in camp with the U.S. national team, which is prepping for two matches that will essentially decide if the Americans will continue having a chance to qualify for the 2014 World Cup. Of the 24 players originally picked by U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann for these games, Gordon is younger than only defenders Steve Cherundolo and Carlos Bocanegra, along with goalkeepers Tim Howard and Nick Rimando.
Combined, those four players have 279 appearances — caps, in soccer vernacular — for the U.S.
Gordon has zero.
But he's having a breakout season with the San Jose Earthquakes: His 13 goals in 23 games translate to a 0.9-goal-per-90-minute ratio, the best in Major League Soccer. So Gordon got the call to be part of the U.S. side for these qualifiers, first on Friday on the road against Antigua and Barbuda, then in Kansas City, Kan., on Oct. 16 against Guatemala, the match that coincides with his birthday.
"I'm happy to be here," Gordon said. "It doesn't matter what age I am. I'm playing good soccer right now. The coaches here feel that I can be of some help, and I hope I can prove them right."
Klinsmann said Gordon earned his chance.
"I think it's great to see," Klinsmann said. "He's a guy that went through ups and downs. He saw it all. He struggled physically. He had a lot of injuries. But he always had the right spirit toward his job. He never took things for granted. He worked always hard and he's a giver."
The U.S., Guatemala and Jamaica each has seven points after the first four matches in this qualifying round, while Antigua and Barbuda has one. For the U.S. to reach next year's regional finals, four points — which the Americans would get with a win and a tie — would seem to be the most probable requirement.
Dogged by injuries in recent years — including hip surgery last year — Gordon acknowledges that he thought his window of having a chance with the national team had closed. But he was summoned to join the Americans for their friendly at Mexico over the summer (the U.S. pulled off a 1-0 victory, though Gordon did not play), and Klinsmann apparently kept watching him in the weeks that followed.
When the Americans opened training in Miami on Tuesday, Gordon seemed to fit right in, even though he's the only player on the roster without a cap and is nearly nine years older than the team's youngest member.
"Some guys are just late bloomers and I see that all over the place," Howard said. "He's been good. He's come in and he's really got his head down, and he's been a good guy to be around off the field. He works hard on the field. He knows what his strengths are and what his abilities are and he plays to them."
It's not just luck, either. Or the fact that he's putting the ball in the net for the Earthquakes.
There simply was a point when Gordon got tired of being hurt. So he changed his ways, working harder and trying to take advantage of whatever time is left in his career.
"I had to spend some extra time, be a better professional and take it a lot more serious and do a lot more work than other guys do," Gordon said. "Come early, stay late — that's what I've been doing."
Gordon may still be a long shot to actually play — only Klinsmann knows where he sits on the depth chart for certain — though his odds figure to have improved by default in recent days. The U.S. ruled Landon Donovan and Brek Shea out of these two qualifiers earlier this week because of injuries, meaning what was a 24-man roster is down to 22.
So there might be need for a goal-scorer who's playing well right now, like Gordon.
"I'm blessed to be here," Gordon said. "And I'm just going to enjoy it and do the best I can and try to help the team, if I can."
Klinsmann points to Gordon as an example that, as he said, "the door is always open" for players who keep working.
"It's another opportunity again for Alan Gordon after he came with us to Mexico," Klinsmann said. "It shows them that if they stay focused and work hard and give everything they have, there are chances for 2014 in Brazil."
NOTES: D Fabian Johnson (flu) will miss the Antigua match and D Edgar Castillo will miss both. Bocanegra and Michael Parkhurst appear to be the best options at left back, with Geoff Cameron paired in the center with Clarence Goodson or Maurice Edu.

This week's Gospel (Luke 7:36 - 8:3) features a penitent woman bathing Jesus' feet with her tears and wiping them with her hair. She then kissed his feet and anointed them with ointment. She is unnamed, merely referred to as a sinner. Her act of contrition is total. Her tears reflect the pain of a hundred bad decisions and a true desire to start over. The Pharisees recoil from her. They know who she is and what she has done. How can Jesus dare let her touch him, and in so intimate a way? They are shocked and dismayed. Jesus, however, welcomes her, and acknowledges her sorrow and her desire to be forgiven. He says the unthinkable – that her sins are forgiven, and tells her to go in peace. These are the same words that priests today use in the sacrament of confession. Through the power given to them by Jesus Christ, our sins, too, are forgiven.
We live in a world that has largely lost a concept of sin. We have a culture that tells people that if something feels good, they should do it. People often feel that the most important thing in life is to be happy here, right now. If you are not, then something is wrong. If you are denying yourself something that would give you some temporal pleasure, then you are missing out. The Ten Commandments are considered anachronistic, made for a different era. They aren't relevant anymore. The seven deadly sins? They aren't so deadly these days. This is what the world at large would have us believe.
We know better. The strange thing about traveling along the spiritual road toward Christ is that along the way, you realize how much you come up short. You start off thinking you are a pretty good person (and you probably are), or you have a huge conversion experience and shake off your old way of life with the desire, like the penitent woman, to completely begin anew (this is obviously a good thing). You begin to pray more and try harder to do the right thing. You read Scripture and other uplifting spiritual works. You attend the sacraments more frequently. You make spiritual progress and receive consolation from God. Then one day, God decides it is time for you to move a little farther down the road. He begins to point out to you the areas you especially need to work on. You now begin to see the wrong in actions and thoughts you felt were fine before. Sins of omission become more obvious. You start to see your sins and your need for forgiveness much more clearly. Saints such as St. Teresa of Avila and St. Catherine of Siena referred to this has having "self-knowledge" and describe it as being central to having true humility before God. The saints were keenly aware of their shortcomings and the need to throw themselves on God's mercy. We can do nothing without His help. We need His love and forgiveness at every turn.
It is easy to read this Gospel and dismiss the penitent woman as a great sinner. Like the Pharisees, we may feel self-righteous, and wonder how God could forgive her. The truth is, we need to channel her. We need to be that sorry for the wrongs we have done, for the times we have failed to show love to God and to our neighbor. We need to beg for forgiveness and resolve to make a new start, even if it is the tenth, or the hundredth, or the thousandth new start. We need to keep trying, and with God's grace, keep moving closer to Him and His example of perfect love.

Lopez, who also handles punting duties for San Jose State, completed a perfect
season in which he went 17-for-17 on field goal attempts, while Noel Grigsby
had a huge day receiving, catching nine passes for 134 yards.
Chandler Jones hauled in six passes for 73 yards and a score, while Kyle Nunn
also caught a touchdown pass for the Spartans (11-2), who closed the season on
a seven-game winning streak.

when Mike MacIntyre left to take the head coaching position at Colorado.
John Pettigrew and Anthon Samuel scored rushing touchdowns and Matt Schilz
threw for 159 yards on 16-of-35 passing for Bowling Green (8-5), who
last appeared in a bowl game on Dec. 30, 2009 — a 43-42 loss to Idaho in the
Humanitarian Bowl.
Chris Gallon caught seven passes for 73 yards for the Falcons in the setback.

Blue Jays-Yankees finale scrubbed by rain
Recommended Video:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Against the Toronto Blue Jays this season, the only thing that has stopped the Yankees was a day full of rain.
The Yankees would have been trying to make it seven in a row against the Blue Jays on Sunday, but rain began to fall in the late morning with no signs of letting up, and the game was postponed before it started. No makeup date was announced.
"It's going to rain until probably 9 o' clock," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It's just not going to be playable."
The two AL East rivals are not scheduled to meet again in the Bronx until August.
Yankees starter CC Sabathia will pitch Monday in Baltimore, followed on Tuesday by Phil Hughes. This means rookie Vidal Nuno will be skipped and remain available out of the bullpen until the Yankees can find a way to work him back into the rotation.
Toronto right-hander R.A. Dickey will face Tampa Bay on Monday.
Dickey and the Blue Jays may have dodged some bad luck, with the rainout, which was announced more than half an hour before the scheduled start time of 1:08 p.m.
He has had outings in the past where wet weather appeared to nullify the effectiveness of his hard, darting knuckleball and leave him without his most effective pitch.
The Blue Jays had won four straight before dropping the first two of a three-game series in the Bronx.
New York has won its last nine home games against Toronto, since last season, as well as the last six in a row overall against the Blue Jays.
"There's no question they've had our number. They've out played us, too," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "This has always been a tough place to play."
The Yankees have outplayed pretty much everyone lately. They've won nine of their last 12 and facing Dickey on a wet day, appeared in a good spot to make it 10 out of 13.
"We weren't necessarily looking for a rainout," Girardi said.
Girardi said that Yankees officials met with umpire crew chief Joe West and consulted their metorologists about the forecast, which Girardi said showed rain falling in New York until after dark.
That made the decision a fairly easy one.
The delay pushed back Reid Brignac's debut with the Yankees, too.
The infielder was acquired in a trade with the Rockies for cash after Colorado designated the infielder for assignment. He arrived Saturday night. He was set to play shortstop and bat eighth.
"It was a little disappointing, I was really looking forward to getting the chance to play here today as a member of the Yankees," Brignac said.
"I'm tickled just to get the chance to be a Yankee."
Notes: Toronto's only win over the Yankees this season was an 8-4 win on April 21. . Dickey will face Tampa Bay RHP Jake Odorizzi, who is making his 2013 debut. RHP Ramon Ortiz will pitch Tuesday, followed by Mark Buehrle on Wednesday. The Blue Jays skipped the turn of RHP Chad Jenkins. .Yankees OF Curtis Granderson was going to lead off and return to center field a day after his first start in right. . . Yankees C Francisco Cervelli said he was still hoping to return from a broken hand before the All-Star break. He is on the 60-day DL. . "Waitin' on a Sunny Day" by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band was played on the PA shortly before the Yankees announced the postponement. . In Baltimore, the Yankees will send out Sabathia against Freddy Garcia on Monday. The veteran RHP spent the last two seasons as a mostly effective part of the Yankees rotation after a career mostly spent with the Mariners and White Sox. ... The Blue Jays claimed RHP Thad Weber on waivers from San Diego and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo. Toronto transferred RHP Sergio Santos to the 60-day DL. The 28-year-old had a 2.00 ERA in nine innings for the Padres this season.

After the Crash: Back to Basics
Doing stupid things seems to be one of my more frequent habits. I've already written about how I ran the Connemara 100 with totally inadequate preparation. Everything's relative of course but even while running with the good people of the 100 Club, who run almost weekly marathons, I can somehow find a way to take things over the top.
To give some background, Pat O'Keefe (who I think has run 82 marathons) told me that when he did the Connemara 100-miler a few years, he waited six weeks until his next marathon and he still didn't think his body felt right. In the four weeks since I finished it, I squeezed in two other sub 4.30 marathons in Longford and Dingle. Alright, so they were both slower than I'd like but 4:22 and 4:29 aren't exactly the worst times in the world either. Then last week, the walls finally came tumbling down.
It all started so well. My mate Frank McDermott was pacing 4.30 at the inaugural Sligo marathon and had gotten me a free entry. Sure, it was a long drive and an early-morning start but if you've been a regular reader, you'll know that's nothing unusual! We'd left at a nice handy pace (about 10.15 minutes a mile) and it looked like I was in for a relative doddle of a race. With Frank practically acting as my personal pacer, 4.30 hours would be a lot easier than it had been in Dingle, or so I hoped.
The previous week, I'd had a long and interesting conversation with Shane James Whitty about how my marathon times had recently been collapsing somewhat. He suggested focusing on my heart-rate (which I never normally do), training at 125bpm for recovery runs and doing 3-mile tempo runs at 145/150/155 bpm. For the events, he had suggested sticking to 8.30 minutes a mile for the first 15/16 miles. Above all else he had said not to let my heart-rate slip above 150bpm for the first 18 miles. This would leave something in the tank for the last 8.2 miles. The trick was to keep at a pace where you could keep running; whatever time would be lost from the beginning would be regained by avoiding a collapse in the latter stages. I wouldn't be running at 8.30 minutes a mile, but my plan was to take the rest of this strategy for a test-run in Sligo.
The plan was going swimmingly until I had to pull a Paul Radcliffe (runner's slang for a bathroom break) and Frank went on ahead. Continuing on, I picked up the pace, figuring I could catch Frank after maybe five miles. But despite busting myself trying to catch up with him, tearing down hills and going sub 10-minutes/mile on the level, he was nowhere to be seen. Then I fell.
I was tearing down a hill about 16 miles in, and slipped on a loose stone on the road, coming down hard on my knees and elbows. I was up again almost straightaway but after a few steps it was pretty clear that I couldn't continue to run. Pat O'Keefe caught up with me after a while and walked the rest of the way with me; he'd hurt his ankle further back. Then after two miles of this, Frank caught up with us! Turns out that he'd taken a wrong turn back at a village crossroads further back and wandered five miles off the course! So the whole race to catch up had been a fool's errand from the beginning. But by that stage, the damage was done. I never saw my official time but I have it at 5:53:23
No lasting damage was done to my knees but both hamstrings were pulled and my body wasn't recovering like it normally does; for a few days afterwards, I was having difficulty just shuffling across the street. So it was with a heavy heart that I decided not to run in the Mooathon or the October 'West of Ireland' series run, both of which I was really looking forward to.
I can find other marathons to make up the promise of 20 in 2012 but nevertheless, I've had to re-evaluate my plans coming up to the Dublin marathon. The first part of the new plan is to go back to yoga tomorrow. Secondly, I'll be slotting in with the marathon training group at my home club in Louth and train for a 'personal best' in Dublin (October 29th). For me, that would mean beating the 3:56:58 I ran in Kildare last May. It's a big ask, but I'm hoping that with the right combination of nutrition, proper training and a six-week break from eventing, I might even hit 3:45 or 3:50. It's been such a long, tough year and it would be really sweet to pull that off in the city that has become my second home over the last few years. That's the dream anyway.

Announcing JavaScript License Web Labels
In 2009, Richard Stallman published "The JavaScript Trap." It observed that JavaScript served from the Web is now often significant software—and if it's nonfree, it causes all the same problems for users as any other proprietary software. Anybody who's serious about protecting their freedom should reject nonfree JavaScript, just like you'd reject traditional proprietary desktop software.
We hope these labels will empower users to be as selective about what licenses they'll accept for JavaScript as they are for traditional desktop software. That said, this is an early effort to tackle the problem, and we're happy to consider changes that can make it more attractive to webmasters or their visitors. For details about the decision-making process behind JavaScript License Web Labels, and how you can send feedback to us, please read our accompanying rationale document. We look forward to hearing from you.

I recently had to sort out, wrap and box up everything my husband and I own. It was a cathartic, if slightly alarming, experience. There, lurking in the back of every cupboard, lay my most treasured possessions, such as china left to me by my beautiful grandmother, expensive gifts and vintage fashions. All had been left untouched, saved for some, as yet undefined, moment, known only as 'best'.
I'm not the only one who adheres to this somewhat Victorian notion of 'saving things for best'. A fashion editor friend of mine never wore her most treasured possession as a child (a pair of bright red pixie boots) such was her mother's fear they would be ruined in the rain. The boots instead lived by her bed, never making it out of the house.
However, for members of Generation Y, who live daily in fear of joblessness, this notion of saving, in relation to experience, products or rewards, has lost its saliency. Delayed gratification, once one of the key pillars of luxury marketing, has, in many ways, lost its attraction.
Here is the first generation of consumers to have grown up without the almost ingrained belief that the curve of their life will automatically follow an upward trajectory. The certainty that they will succeed if they work hard has been irrevocably shaken by the downturn.
This shift has significant implications for brands, faced as they are with an increasingly demanding swathe of shoppers expecting instant gratification. Karl Lagerfeld, creative director of Chanel, says that consumers should buy luxury goods only if they can afford to wear them like everyday items. Back on Earth, while this is clearly not affordable for many cash-strapped consumers, the sentiment still rings true.
Here is a generation of consumers that aren't prepared to wait, and they have a point.
- What brands should know about instant gratification
1. Patience is no longer a virtue
Now, more than ever, marketers must recognise the need to provide their products and services on consumers' terms.
2. Empathy is everything
Smart brands not only recognise that Gen Y is facing up to significant challenges, but are doing something about it. Those such as the London Evening Standard, which has blazed a trail with its phenomenal 'dispossessed' campaign, prove the worth of investing in actively improving consumers' lives.
3. Investment above all
With an increasing number of young consumers anxious about the future, proving you are on their side is vital. It is no longer enough to say you understand; you have to demonstrate it through every facet of your business.
4. Meet rising expectations
It's time to quit moaning that your employees or consumers have unrealistic expectations; it is vital to keep up with the pace of change. Paul Keenan, chief executive of Bauer Media, recently said: 'We, as employers, have as much to learn from young people as young people have to learn from us.'

For the first time since 1971 the federal government is updating crane regulations. Triggered by various lethal crane accidents around the country this past year, the U.S. Department of Labor is set to release drafts of the new regulations, which focus mainly on crane operator standards.
New Standards
The new regulations will require crane operators to pass both written and practical tests in all 50 states and complete more training. Currently only 15 states and 6 cities require tests. Crane operators will have various options to become certified/qualified under the new rules:
- Certification through accredited third-party testing organizations
- Qualification through audited employer testing programs
- U.S. military-issued qualification
- Qualification by state/local licensing authorities
In addition to the certification and training of crane operators the new rules also hone in on inspecting ground conditions, crane assembly and disassembly, operating near power lines, and the use of safety devices and crane inspections.
It is expected that the final approval of all of the regulations will "likely take more than a year."
(1) Devlin, Barrett. The Associated Press. September 18, 2008.
NAHETS Crane Operator Training & Certification
Member schools of the National Association of Heavy Equipment Training Schools (NAHETS) across the country offer mobile crane operator training and certification programs. Each of the member schools are authorized to administer the NCCCO Mobile Crane Certification tests. They also offer training from instructors, all holding NCCCO Mobile Crane Operator Certifications, to prepare for the tests. Visit the NAHETS Crane Site for more information.

At the turn of the century, numerous figures were attempting to form a new unitary science of psychology, modelled on how they imagined sciences like physics and chemistry functioned, with the discovery of universal laws and discoverers who would be proclaimed to be on the scale of Copernicus and Newton. It was intended that the formation of this new science would be nothing less than the completion of the scientific revolution, and that as a consequence, it would transform psychiatry, psychotherapy, the human sciences and indeed, all walks of life. Already by 1905, this dream was receding in an endless proliferation of competing and incompatible practices and conceptions - and one which has not ceased till this day. This talk reconstructs some of the multiple intersecting trajectories in one year of this would be science.
