- good experiencelex3Dined on 9/27/2014I would recommend 80 Thoreau mostly for the food and location. THe food was excellent. We were placed near the open kitchen--not the best spot because of all the traffic and noise. Concord is a very pretty town and had plenty of places to park. 80 Thoreau was quite pricey; so we would save it for a special occasion.Special Features:
- Love ThoreauOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/26/2014We love this place,the food and service are impeccable. Can't speak highly enough about it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reliable, high standardWantstobeimpressedDined on 9/25/2014Been going here off and on for several years - the food has been consistently good. They have always tried to accommodate me even when full. I get the sense these guys care - and it shows. The chef is commendable and inventive. A touch pricey at roughly $70/head for two courses and a few drinks but seems about right for the quality. Long may this restaurant live.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Lovely Fall DinnerSkisocksDined on 9/25/2014Had the Duck, loved it. Had the Salmon Pate Loved it. Had a lovely Bottle of Pinot Noir, Loved it. Service was Great, a really lovely evening would recommend highly so much I want to go back and try other things on the Menu. Looking forward to more dinner there in the fall.Special Features:
- great food and locationobrconDined on 9/20/2014great suburban location and impeccable service. Cannot wait to go back. Diverse menu options. Gnoochi lobster appetizer was a table favorite. Pork tenderloin was perfectly cooked. Lamb ragu with whole grain pasta was tender and well seasoned. To difficult to pick best dessert option all were good. Noise was an issue due to kitchen being open to dining room and boisterous party nearby.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Concord?SkiDudeDined on 9/20/2014Who knew such a gem was hiding in Concord (although I guess given the large number of very positive reviews you couldn't really say it was "hiding"). One of the best meals I've had in years, and I have the chance to eat at a lot of really nice restaurants while traveling on business. The smoked swordfish pate was delicious, the tuna entree was perfectly seared, the chocolate pudding (w/ figs) was like no chocolate pudding I've ever had before, and the service was impeccable. What more could you ask for in a restaurant?Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/20/201480 Thoreau never disappoints. Food and service are always first rate. If you haven't dined at 80 Thoreau, you definitely should!Special Features:
- Food and Ambience Superb!Hayashi56VIPDined on 9/20/2014I have visited this restaurant many times since last year after my friend recommended it to me. I love the fact that this restaurant is in Concord downtown yet has ample parking. The menu is unique and food is meticulously prepared. Service is A+. To me, this is top 2 restaurants in Concord.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Treasure in the Attic2ConcorddinerDined on 9/19/2014I was a bit skeptical climbing the stairs up the old railroad station building, but the service, the coziness of the place, but most of all the food completely shattered any doubts I'd had. The place had a modern warm feel, the service was great, we were not sure about which wine to choose and they were helpful with a few glasses to choose from. The food is just great, the menu reflects the produce of the season, the desserts! they are to die for. I have been there once already a year ago and I am definitely coming back. One thing that I am willing to overlook are the bathrooms. There location is a bit odd.Special Features:
- Wow - GREAT FOOD AGAINRipleyDined on 9/18/2014Delicious, scrumptious, so good, wonderful! I have eaten at 80 Thoreau many times and it never disappoints me! such great tastes and presentation and so so YUMMY!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Getting better and betterBosChickVIPDined on 9/18/2014We have been to 80 Thoreau about 5 times in the past year. Every time is a better experience than the one before. Menus have become more exciting and creative, and we are happy to have this lovely place in Concord. Make a reservation, as it's packed every night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Small PortionsCarolSDined on 9/18/2014We were a party of four and all agreed that the appetizers and desserts were ridiculously small portioned. I loved the tomato soup, but thought that my main course of tender, but not flavorful, sliced pork tenderloin was disappointing, although the vegetables were creative and very good. My husband liked his tuna main course. Our friends had fish appetizers which they thought were overpriced and included two tiny chunks of bland tasting fish. The raspberry dessert was more of a tasting than a course. We all left still feeling somewhat hungry.Special Features:
- LOVED it.MadameMapDined on 9/18/2014I loved everything about this restaurant. First off, the atmosphere was spectacular. Uniquely modern and sophisticated, yet warm and cozy. The staff was spectacular, too. Very professional and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. I loved how the menu was so simple. Can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Boston-like Dining in the BurbsjohnnypDined on 9/11/2014A pretty good restaurant tucked atop a a few local shops. The place has a sophisticated vibe without being stuffy - granite topped bar, hardwood floors. linen on the tables. We started with the salmon pate and a glass of pinot noir. Both good. For main dishes, we tried the tuna and the pork tenderloin. both were cooked perfectly, presented well, and were quite tasty, the main course complimented by thoughtful and interesting sides. Overall, a solid restaurant that most foodies would enjoy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the very best in New EnglandRobertBVIPDined on 9/9/2014Creative unique menu, quality ingredients, expert preparation, knowledgeable service, excellent wines, open kitchen, beautiful space. 80 Thoreau is our favorite restaurant in New England.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excellent food & serviceFequentdinerVIPDined on 9/9/2014We went here based on the reviews, which were accurate as to this place's quality. Service was friendly, helpful & polite. The food was excellent and the portions fine. Though we ordered only one dessert, we were gifted a 2nd one and also after dinner drinks, which was very generous. The manager and also the sommelier were very helpful and warm. We thanked all of them for the lovely meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely experienceEmilyDined on 9/9/2014We came for a birthday dinner, and had a wonderful time and meal. Chris provided outstanding service, and the food was delicious. My only suggestion for improvement was that I ordered a bottle of champagne to be served at the table when we arrived, and it was, but the gentleman came and poured the champagne without saying a word. It would've been a nice touch to wish a happy birthday, or say what the champagne was for. Not a big deal. We'll definitely return!!Special Features:
- Always a treat1serialdinerVIPDined on 9/9/2014We are always delighted to get to dine here! Love ALL the staff! There's always a delicious new drink on the menu, food menu always changing and so many home made touches, down to the ketchup on the plate with "the world's best burger"! Wish we could be there more often! And, remember to reserve ahead, they fill up early for obvious reasons!Special Features:
- Fantastic!SpinnerVIPDined on 9/6/2014We are regulars at 80 Thoreau, and we recommend it highly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Young Restaurant w/ Many StrengthsOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/6/2014Wonderful grilled fish - a real strength of this menu. The pasta is notable too, as is the wine list. Ask for the Reserve List for some special wines. Finally, the cocktails were made to perfection. We can't say enough good things about this young but very polished restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, but....GoldieDined on 9/6/2014My friend and I had a reservation for a Saturday evening at 7PM. The food was excellent, nice blend of flavors and presentation. We split two appetizers, the main course, and a delightful dessert, a perfect amount of food. They were very happy to plate the main course in two. A noisy party of young women voices overwhelmed the restaurant. Even after they left it was not quiet, making it difficult for us to converse easily. The service was shaky. The server gave us more time to look over the drink menu per our request, which we appreciated. The appetizers arrived in a timely fashion but we had to catch our server's attention to bring the main course. That and the noise level took the edge off an otherwise fine dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RayJ336Dined on 9/5/2014Wonderful experience yet again...very flavorful food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top foodNewmexdexDined on 9/5/2014Great food served perfectly. Portions are moderate, but everything is meticulously prepared and presented. Seasoning is tasteful, but not overly intense. Ingredients used are of the highest quality.Special Features:
- Fantastic BurgerBergieDined on 9/3/201480 Thoreau has a lot going for it and a very interesting menu that changes seasonally. I had their hamburger (medium rare) last night off the bar menu. It was fantastic and you have to try it! Get the fried pickles as well...Special Features:
- Always a winnerLeafpeeper2dayVIPDined on 9/3/201480 Thoreau is one of our favorite restaurants. While the menu is short, it has a broad range of flavors. I would like to see a few more options of vegetarian fare.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Upstairs at 80 ThoreauDebonaireDined on 9/3/201480 Thoreau is hidden gem that has it all. The food is excellent and the wait staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I look forward to my next dining experience there in the the near future.Special Features:
- Delicious Anniversary DinnerStrudelMeisterDined on 8/30/2014My husband celebrated our wedding anniversary here and sat in dining area nearest the bar (about 30 seats) The entrance is very discreet -like a speakeasy in the 1920's (which added to its appeal). I had not realized that it was "Dining Week" (options tend to be dumbed down to appeal to a wider audience -less selection) However our 3 course meal ($38/pp) was top notch. My husband is a (fresh/local) tomato fanatic and really enjoyed the heirloom tomato app. The bluefish entree was especially delicious( (crispy outside & briny inside) The desserts were the perfect (small bite) size & still enough to share. Only downside was that tables were very close together (shared conversations / challenging to get in/out) We will definitely return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love 80 Thoreau!clhloves80ThoreauDined on 8/30/2014We've had dinner at 80 Thoreau around 8 times now... the service, ambiance, and of course the food is always wonderful, and this last time was no exception...from the fun cocktails to the perfectly cooked roasted chicken and fresh bluefish to the just-enough sweet desserts. The panacotta appetizer was particularly good, with lovely texture and flavors on the side to match. I always feel satisfied after the meal, feeling both comfortably fed and having a reasonable bill!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A restaurant week delightBlivetDined on 8/29/2014We were four out for the final night of restaurant week. The choices on the prix fixe menu all sounded interesting and the restaurant also offered a special appetizer and dessert off the menu - unusual for a restaurant week dinner. The waitstaff were knowledgeable and attentive. The courses were presented beautifully and all that we selected was flavorful. There were unusual wines on the list and the sommelier made suggestions to compliment our meals across a broad price range. Love the open kitchen. All in all, a great experience - we will be back!Special Features:
- SueHVIPDined on 8/29/2014We went during restaurant week and the food was amazing. The chef and the entire staff pay attention to every detail, making for a very special dining experience.Special Features:
- Always amazing!MsanDined on 8/29/201480 Thoreau is my favorite. In my opinion its service and menue surpasses more expensive restaurants in boston.Special Features:
- Creative CookingwillypaulDined on 8/29/201480 Thoreau is a real find in the West Suburban quality restaurant desert. The cuisine is imaginative, creative, and made of fresh high quality ingredients. Moderately expensive but well worth the expense for special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- globaldinerDined on 8/28/201480 Thoreau was a treat! We had heard about this restaurant, all favorable, and found our experience to be the same. Very tasty, innovative menu, superb (really!!) service, and surprisingly, reasonably priced wines. The atmosphere was lovely, much as one would expect in an intimate bistro in an elegant area. While their regular menu is a bit pricy for us, we would dine here again in a heartbeat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- always a hitpennyDined on 8/27/201480 thoreau is an oasis for Concordians looking for a downtown Boston fine dinner without the hassle of a commute. You get what you pay for. Service is white table cloth, attentive, but leisurely. The food is fresh and delicious, carefully prepared and, as always, we enoyed every bite. I have NEVER had such a delicious tomato bisque as I recently had - it was perfect - not too salty, with just a hint of chili. Sublime. Their boulangerie style bread and artisinal butter is a meal in itslef. (The wine list is good- but apppears to have no Australian selections. Too bad. Aussie pinot chardonnay sparkling wines are superb as an aperitif and a good Barossa Shiraz is perfect with red meat.) I also hope they have oysters next time I go : )Special Features:
- greatfoodisgoodDined on 8/26/2014Great service, food was unusual and delicious. We went for restaurant week and we will go again for sure!Special Features:
- Another outstanding meal!OpenTable Diner Since 2014VIPDined on 8/26/2014Time and time again, 80 Thoreau offers us delicious food and outstanding hospitality---all at a great price, especially during Restaurant Week! For those interested in wine, the restaurant offers a special list of exemplary wines...let Ian and Vincent guide you! Thank you again for caring for us!Special Features:
- The Service is ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/26/2014I recommend this restaurant for special occasions. It is expensive on a normal basis, I just didn't make a good selection for the restaurant week menu.Special Features:
- NancyGoodEatsDined on 8/26/2014You won't know the menu until you get there. If you love to try new things this is the place. They were even accomidating to some minor adjustments. Be ready to spend 2+ hours eating a three course meal. Everything was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The close proximity to the train station added a unque experience to the evening. The staff was fantastic water was always full, presentation A+, and they checked on us regularly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmazingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/25/2014The food and service was absolutely amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone. It is a great place for special occasions or a romantic night out.Special Features:
- A Delight Right Outside Bostonvkx1984Dined on 8/23/2014The ambiance is warm and welcoming in this old converted train station. The entrance is nondescript and first-timers may walk right by it but for the menu outside the door. They've done amazing work inside, and the front of the place has an intimate lounge feel while the back has a full view of the kitchen and a great, small, energetic restaurant look and sound. The wait staff is so courteous and knowledgeable--at our last experience, one of our party was vegetarian and our waitress had no problem recommending the lasagna without the Lamb ragu as still perfectly delicious, which it was. The sommelier saw me eying the wine list and came right over to help. The food itself was unbelievable, fresh, creative without being unfamiliar. Amazing.Special Features:

Virginia lawmakers on both sides of the gun debate say they will introduce proposals in the aftermath of the deadly Connecticut elementary school shooting.
Democratic Del. Joseph Morrissey said Wednesday he will introduce a bill to ban the sale of assault-style weapons and large capacity magazines. A federal assault weapons ban expired in 2004, but several states have laws prohibiting them.
Republican Del. Bob Marshall says he is drafting legislation to allow school personnel trained in firearm use to bring guns to school.
Sen. Dave Marsden says he will introduce legislation to penalize gun owners who do not report the theft of their weapon or whose guns are used in a crime if they didn't take steps to prevent it.
Anti-gun measures have traditionally failed in the Virginia General Assembly.

Academic Records
Declaring/Revising a Concentration
According to faculty rule, undergraduate students may not register for their fifth semester unless a declaration of concentration has been filed with the registrar. Students failing to complete registration on time because of the failure to file a concentration declaration may be subject to a late registration fee and late add fees.
To declare a new and standard concentration program
- Obtain and complete the Declaration of Concentration forms which will be found online.
- Consult with and secure the approval of the concentration advisor of the department offering the concentration.
To declare an independent concentration program
Independent concentrations represent a distinctly personal and individualized approach to undergraduate education. An independent concentrator creates his or her own program of study, organizing a body of courses from several departments around a central theme, topic, or set of related inquiries. The approach and coursework draw on different existing departments, but the concentration must articulate a coherent field of study, with a disciplinary focus and cohesive connection between its various components.To propose an Independent Concentration, contact the director of the Independent Concentration Program in the Office of the Dean of the College(401) 863-3488. Students will be informed of the action taken on proposals by Dean Rodriguez, for the Independent Concentration Committee.
Samples of previously approved Independent Concentrations are on file at the Curricular Resource Center, Roberts Campus Center, room 228. Students planning to file an Independent Concentration (IC) may also find it helpful to speak with the student IC coordinator in the same office.
Revising a Concentration
If there have been changes to the set of courses that are being counted toward your concentration(s), your concentration declaration(s) needs to be filed again (there is no need to complete the essays again). The form for doing so is available on the registrar's webpage; it requires approval from your concentration advisor.
The Internal Academic Record
An internal academic record is a record of academic work that is used for internal purposes only; it is not made available to individuals outside the Brown University community. Only a few individuals within the University have access to these records: deans, advisors, departmental staff within the concentration, certain prize committees, the Committee on Academic Standing, and the students to whom the records belong. The internal academic record is no longer available after graduation.
Notations on internal records are fuller than those on official transcripts. Dropped courses will show on the Internal Record, Writing Deficiency marks, as well as any "NC" (No Credit) the instructor assigns.
Proof of Enrollment and/or Degree Verification
Brown University has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verifications of student enrollment and Degree Verification.
- Currently enrolled students, regardless of citizenship, who wish to request an official certification of enrollment (e.g., for purposes of loan deferments, health insurance coverage, government documents, etc.) may do so 24 x 7 and free of charge by logging into the National Student Clearinghouse's Student Self-Service via https://shibboleth.studentclearinghouse.org/SelfService and selecting Brown University from the dropdown. The certificate provided may be printed or downloaded and sent to any third party. This Service is not available to students who have graduated in May 2012 or earlier.
- For students that require specific third-party forms that must be completed by the Office of the Registrar (e.g. Canadian Tax Forms, etc.) may do so by visiting Room 318, J. Walter Wilson Hall and complete an verification request form. Certifications of enrollment requested in this manner are also free of charge but take longer to process. In most cases, students should allow 3-5 business days for these requests.
- For outside agencies/third-parties seeking verification of a student's enrollment and/or degree MUST visit the National Student Clearinghouse as the Office of the Registrar will not verify this information directly over the phone or via e-mail. Accordingly, please visit www.studentclearinghouse.org
Note: Undergraduate students who study away during their careers at Brown need to have their visiting institution certify their enrollment status. In addition, the Office of the Registrar's is unable to certify a student's summer address.

NORTHEAST NIGERIA (BP) -- Boko Haram terrorists posing as soldiers and preachers have killed hundreds of civilians since kidnapping more than 200 Christian school girls in April, amid unsubstantiated reports that 15 Nigerian military officers have been court-martialed for aiding the terrorists.
In the latest attack Wednesday (June 4), Boko Haram terrorists posing as preachers killed an estimated 45 people in Barderi village near Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, BBC News reported. Boko Haram members told civilians they had come to preach, then opened fire on a crowd that gathered to hear, according to BBC.
Monday (June 2), Boko Haram militants dressed as soldiers and driving military-style vehicles attacked three villages in northeastern Nigeria, gunning down at least 200 civilians who gathered, the Associated Press reported. The militants claimed to be soldiers protecting civilians from impending attacks there, in Danjara, Agapalwa and Antagara villages.
Boko Haram has raided additional villages in northeastern Nigeria, which has been under near constant attack since mid-May, Morning Star News reported. Assaults on Attagara, Gwoshe, Hawul and other Gwoza villages have destroyed 36 churches, sources told Morning Star News.
"The Boko Haram Islamists have destroyed 36 churches in Gwoza area, including that of Attagara attacked on Sunday (June 1)," Morning Star News quoted Rebecca Dali, whose husband is president of the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria. "We now have only two churches that have not been affected."
Before the June attacks, Boko Haram had killed at least 470 civilians and Christians since kidnapping about 275 teenage students from a Chibok boarding school, Reuters News reported in late May.
Even though northeastern Nigeria has been under a state of emergency declared by Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan a year ago, Boko Haram has strengthened its assault, and many have accused the Jonathan administration of inefficiency in protecting civilians.
The Nigerian newspaper Leadership reported Tuesday (June 3) that at least 15 senior Nigerian military officers have been court-martialed for providing information and ammunitions to Boko Haram militants. The AP, Christianity Today and other news outlets have carried the reports, but top Nigerian officials have called the reports inaccurate.
Leadership quoted an unnamed "top security" official as its source.
"The suspects include about 10 generals and other ranks, not to talk of soldiers who have been found culpable of sabotaging our operations," Leadership quoted the official. "They are facing trial before court-martials set up by their divisions; some have been found guilty, and some are still facing trial."
News reports have circulated since 2012 that Nigerian military officials were aiding Boko Haram's efforts to enforce Sharia law in Nigeria, where an estimated 51.3 percent of the population is Christian.
In May, 2013, Lt.-Gen. Azubuiki Ihejirika, Nigerian chief of army staff at the time, said at the opening of the Army Transportation and Innovation Centre in Abuja, that Nigerian Army soldiers had been arrested for conspiring with Boko Haram.
"There are some soldiers that have been found to be posting negative comments on the Internet and some conversing with insurgents," Nigeria Today newspaper quoted Ihejirika. "I want to state that any officer or soldier caught linked one way or the other will be disciplined severely, there are no two ways about it."
In January, Jonathan replaced his entire military leadership, reportedly in an effort to strengthen its struggle against Boko Haram.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian military has said it has learned the location of some 223 schoolgirls kidnapped seven weeks ago, but has said rescuing the victims by force might endanger the girls.

Rescue News
Rescued by heroic students, this once-abandoned mother finds her adopter at North Shore Animal League America
In April, we shared the tale of two students who took action when so many people—adults included—may have looked the other way.
Arkansas Dog Receives Mutt-i-grees Hero Award
On March 13, 2013, Stephanie Ward, a teacher at Clinton Junior High lost her home to a fire. However, thanks to a hero Mutt-i-gree named Bart, no one was hurt. Mrs. Ward's husband, David, was taking a nap at home when he woke up with Bart on his stomach. The home was already filled with smoke and within minutes it was in flames. The family lost everything and is now in process of rebuilding their lives. The blessing is that David is okay thanks to Bart!
Students Save Homeless Puppies and Their Mother
We were thrilled to hear from Jennie Steele, a new Mutt-i-grees Curriculum teacher, who shared this heartwarming story showing the Curriculum in life-saving action!
Ms. Steele, who teaches English as a Second Language (ESL) to K-5 at Midland International Elementary School in Colorado Springs, CO, told us about the compassion and dedication that two of her students, Banessa and Jovanny, demonstrated when they discovered an animal in need:
Brave Boy Stands Up to Bullies and Rescues Abused Cat
It's no exaggeration to say that bullying is truly an epidemic—and sadly, humans aren't the only ones who suffer. After hearing so many heartbreaking stories of animal abuse, it's uplifting to hear a very different tale: the story of Jackson the cat and his hero Wendell, a 10-year-old North Carolina boy who put his own safety aside and bravely stood up to a group of bullies, rescuing an innocent cat who was being tormented.
Mutt-i-grees Express: And We're Off!
North Shore Animal League America is proud to announce another successful year of saving lives through its official launch of the Mutt-i-grees Express. To celebrate that launch, the Animal League is unveiling its new mobile rescue unit, which proudly bears the Mutt-i-grees Express logo. Mutt-i-grees Express is an expansion of the Animal League's national humane relocation program and is made possible through both established and emerging collaborations with shelters nationwide, in the Animal League's ongoing mission to add to the more than one million lives it has saved since 1944.

Re: Brazil Press Conference:Yes, Jim...
RE: Brazil from my eyes...
Yes, Jim he can help all of us, if we just, let Him.
There should be a song called..
Just, let him
or you can go with the Elvis Presley or Olivia N. John song (Let me be there)
and adapt it to..
"Let Him be there in your morning, let Him be there in your night.
Let Him change whatever's wrong and make you right.
Let Him take you to that Heavenland, leave sinner man behind
All I ask you .... is let him in.
You could even have animation on Jim opening the door
and peeking his head out on the pic that shows
the Saviour on the outside of the door that has no door knob
because it has to be opened fromt he inside
Re: Brazil Press Conference
oops I made a mistake in the
last line of the remake
not..let him in
but should be

Samantha Lurey, founder and CEO of Go Trexx Inc., is a successful serial entrepreneur and business consultant.
As an avid traveler, Samantha has toured 22 countries and more than half of the United States. While on those travels, she realized that the needs and curiosities of children were being underserved by current travel tools. In her role as a step-mom, she also learned first-hand how busy parents struggle to plan a vacation and crate a fun and rewarding experience for their children. These observations inspired her to create a series of travel apps that would help children more fully appreciate the destinations they were visiting and give parents a simple planning tool to make their adventures more exciting.
Prior to launching Go Trexx, Samantha was the majority owner of a boutique consulting where she advised Fortune 500 and not-for-profit organizations in best practices for strategic development and growth. She received her Master's degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology and Bachelor's degree in Psychology from San Diego State University.
When Samantha isn't planning her next adventure, she enjoys hiking with her two Australian Shepherds and spending Sunday mornings cooking or chasing balls around on the golf course.

It's kind of ironic that on her eighth studio album, "Havoc and Bright Lights," Alanis Morissette displays an affinity for pithy song titles ("Empathy," "Lens," "Spiral," "Numb") because, as always, she has a lot to say.
Many of Morissette's fans have grown up with her, from the internal volcano she proudly spewed in her 20s (vulgarity has never sounded better than on "You Oughta Know") through her diary entry musings the past decade to now, the slightly mushier Alanis who, like many of her fans, is a mom and wife.
But don't think for a second that she's lost her ability to emotionally decapitate those who Just Don't Get It.
The heavy synths and disco rhythm of "Woman Down" might have something in common with ABBA, but the perky backdrop belies the serious lyrics about the cycle of abuse. And by song's end, you know the woman has emerged victorious.
What have always been both admirable and frustrating about Morissette are her lyrical ramblings, and she's right on point here. "I've only known a lust for VIP," she snarl-sings in "Celebrity," a withering takedown of our obsession with vapidity told from the viewpoint of the desperate starlet who pleads, "Tell me who I have to be."
But while Morissette's superfluous lyrics can be a challenge to slog through at times, they're usually worth the effort because of her thoughtful approach.
Musically, she's on familiar terrain with "Numb," a slow-building rocker filled with scattered guitar. But for as much as Morissette is painted as a banshee who only screams about ignorant men, some of her best material over the years has been soft melodies coupled with unguarded emotions ("Everything," "Unsent," "So Unsexy").
Here, the sweet "'Til You," a gently clicking ballad, and the carefree "Spiral," on which she professes her need for that person who "bring[s] the light back in" and turns down the negative voices, provide that complement.
'Havoc and Bright Lights" might not be perfect, but it's easily Morissette's most cohesive album since a decade ago ("Under Rug Swept"). And besides, why would someone who is constantly self-interrogating ever want to achieve perfection?

Whoa. Dear John is a TAYLOR SWIFT song, I believe. Alanis *never* wrote a song called Dear John. Shouldn't you do some research? Perhaps you meant Unsent. But still, do your research, please.

Alumni & Careers
Dating back to the 1960s, more than 1,200 students have graduated from Westmont with a BA degree in Economics and Business. Since the early 1990s, a typical graduation class of 300 students, has on average 40 graduates from Economics and Business. E+B student responses at the annual senior breakfast prior to commencement, generally show over half of the seniors have already secured a full-time position - many at firms with whom they recently completed an internship. On average, about one third of the graduating seniors say they plan to pursue an MBA, law school, or a doctoral program within the ensuing 5 years.
A major 1992 survey had over 350 department alumni respond, and showed 28% had earned graduate degrees or C.P.A. certification. A large number go into finance and earn N.A.S.D. Series-7 securities licenses, and many complete either C.F.A. or C.F.P. designations. Students reported they found their first job in an average of 2.3 months after graduation, and the majority were "very pleased" that their Westmont education prepared them for their career and/or graduate school.
Where They Work
Graduates of the Department of Economics and Business are licensed professionals, managers, and entrepreneurs in a wide range of industries, at literally dozens of companies in the local Santa Barbara/Central Coast area, throughout California, across the U.S., and worldwide.

Around 150km south of Hokitika, two white rivers of ice force their way down towards the thick rainforest of the coastal plain – ample justification for the region's inclusion in Te Wahipounamu, the South West New Zealand World Heritage Area. The glaciers form a palpable connection between the coast and the highest peaks of the Southern Alps. Within a handful of kilometres the terrain drops from over 3000m to near sea level, bringing with it Franz Josef glacier and Fox glacier, two of the largest and most impressive of the sixty-odd decent-sized glaciers that creak off the South Island's icy spine, together forming the centrepiece of the rugged Westland National Park. Legend tells of the beautiful Hinehukatere who so loved the mountains that she encouraged her lover, Tawe, to climb alongside her. He fell to his death and Hinehukatere cried so copiously that her tears formed the glaciers, known to Maori as Ka Riomata o Hinehukatere – "The Tears of the Avalanche Girl".
The area is also characterized by the West Coast's prodigious precipitation, with upwards of 5m being the typical yearly dump. These conditions, combined with the rakish angle of the western slopes of the Southern Alps, produce some of the world's fastest-moving glaciers; stand at the foot for half an hour or so and you're bound to see a piece peel off. But these phenomenal speeds haven't been enough to counteract melting, and both glaciers have receded over 3km since Cook saw them at their greatest recent extent, soon after the Little Ice Age of 1750. Glaciers are receding worldwide, but the two here sometimes buck the trend by advancing from time to time, typically around five years after a particularly big snowfall in the mountains.
The glaciers were already in full retreat when travellers started to battle their way down the coast to observe these wonders of nature. They were initially named "Victoria" and "Albert" respectively but, in 1865, geologist Julius von Haast renamed Franz Josef after the Austro-Hungarian emperor, and following a visit by prime minister William Fox in 1872, the other was bestowed with his name.
Activity in the glaciers focuses on two small villages, which survive almost entirely on tourist traffic. Both lie close to the base of their respective glaciers and offer excellent plane and helicopter flights, guided glacier walks and heli-hiking. With your own transport, it makes sense to base yourself in one of the two villages and explore both glaciers from there. If you have to choose one, Franz Josef has a wider range of accommodation, restaurants, and offers the most comprehensive selection of trips, while Fox is quieter.Read More
Franz Josef Glacier
Franz Josef Glacier
FRANZ JOSEF GLACIER (Waiau) is the slightly larger of the two glacier villages. The glacier almost reaches the fringes of the village, the Southern Alps tower above and developers have done what they can to create an alpine character with steeply pitched roofs and pine panelling. It's an appealing place, and small enough to make you feel almost like a local if you stay for more than a night or two – something that's easily done, considering the number of fine walks and the proximity of the glaciers.
In Franz Josef you can hike to the glacier, join a guided walk on the glacier, kayak on a nearby lake or take a scenic flight. Guided glacier walks and kayaking take place in most weather conditions, but on misty and very wet days you'll find that scenic flights and heli-hikes are cancelled and alternatives limited.
Fox Glacier
Fox Glacier
The village of Fox Glacier, 25km south of Franz Josef, is scattered over an outwash plain of the Fox and Cook rivers, and services the local farming community and passing sightseers. Everything of interest is beside SH6 or Cook Flat Road, which skirts the scenic Lake Matheson on the way to the former gold settlement and seal colony at Gillespies Beach. The foot of the glacier itself is around 6km away.
Glaciers explained
Glaciers explained
The existence of a glacier is a balancing act between competing forces: snowfall at the névé, high in the mountains, battles with rapid melting at the terminal lower down the valley, the victor determining whether the glacier will advance or retreat. Snowfall, metres thick, gradually compacts to form clear blue ice, accumulating until it starts to flow downhill under its own weight. Friction against the valley walls slows the sides while ice in the centre slips down the valley, giving the characteristic scalloped effect on the surface, which is especially pronounced on such vigorous glaciers as Franz Josef and Fox. Where a riverbed steepens, the river forms a rapid: under similar conditions, glaciers break up into an icefall, full of towering blocks of ice known as seracs, separated by crevasses.
Visitors familiar with grubby glaciers in the European Alps or American Rockies will expect the surface to be mottled with rock debris which has fallen off the valley walls onto the surface; however, the glaciers here descend so steeply that the cover doesn't have time to build up and they remain pristine. Rock still gets carried down with the glacier though, and when the glacier retreats, this is deposited as terminal moraine. Occasionally retreating glaciers leave behind huge chunks of ice which, on melting, form kettle lakes.
The most telling evidence of past glacial movements is the location of the trim line on the valley wall, caused by the glacier stripping away all vegetation. At Fox and Franz Josef, the advance associated with the Little Ice Age around 1750 left a very visible trim line high up the valley wall, separating mature rata from scrub.

SUPERIOR, WI (WTAQ) - A new pipeline is being proposed that would send North Dakota crude oil to Superior.
Enbridge Energy is seeking government approvals for a line that would stretch over 500 miles, from the Beaver Lodge area near Tioga North Dakota to the company's Superior oil terminal.
Enbridge official Bob Steede tells a Fargo North Dakota newspaper that the pipeline would expand its exporting capacity, and increase market opportunities.
If approved, the line could start operating as soon as 2015.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (21 votes).
In short: Scenic run through the forest and by the sea too. Friendly, encouraging marshals.In full: Undulations keep run interesting and you need to keep a bit in reserve for the last 3 miles. Cooler temp gave better PB potential than previous years. Lots of friendly marshals and youngsters at drinks stations and finish to look after the runners. Great goody bag too. Many thanks.Date of review: October 13, 2013
In short: A beautiful 1/2 marathon in the heart of the New Forest, what more could you want. marshalls were excellent, organisation excellent, and the goody bag consisted of a gym bag, buff and a mars bar... good value. Top raceIn full: Whilst its a challenging course it is not a hard course. Plenty of undulations over the first 8 miles as you drop to sea level along the sea front, then is a gradual climb back, you do need to save the legs for the last 3 miles as is a long but very gradual climb, that if you are on song will not affect you too much, but if struggling can make a difference.Date of review: October 13, 2013
In short: Well organised, glorious route on a beautiful day through fab. scenery. ThanksIn full: The perfect weather combined with fantastic scenery made this one of the best routes I've run in 20 years; heathland, forest, country lanes and seashore all in 13.1 miles. Normally scenic routes equate to hilly and slow, but this still manages to be a fast course. Highly recommended for beginner and experience runner alikeDate of review: October 16, 2012
In full: An excellent race in magnificent scenary along a midly undulating route. The atmosphere was very special as the majority of runners were from local clubs who were very friendly and helped me keep my pace and do a PB .I'll be back and in the meantime may join a club..looks fun. Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: well organised friendly race with great sceneryIn full: well done Hardley, another well organised race.Great scenery and views (bar the last couple of miles) of both the New Forest and Solent on this slightly undulating course - tough from mile 9 when its a gradual climb from the seafront at Lepe but nothing too drastic to take away the enjoyment of an excellent half.see you next yearDate of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Small, friendly and upliftingly scenicIn full: This was my first HM and I wanted to do a smaller one outside London, preferably with a view. Although it was pretty clubby, everyone seemed really friendly. The weather was glorious and the route fantastic - compared to the hills around Crystal Palace I felt like I was flying. I was aiming for 2:20 and managed 1:56 so for me this was a pretty special HM!Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Beautiful scenery and glorious weather.In full: A good course and a well organised race. The sunshine always helps too! Agree with the other comments about the goody bag, but all in all a good event. Well done Hardley.Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: Fantastic day, excellent raceIn full: A very well-organised race with beautiful scenery. The last few miles were tough, but if you're on top of your game then there is still PB potential in the course. I'll definitely be doing this race again next year!Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: Fantastic views.....In full: Probably some of the best views in a road race. A challenging rural race around quiet, leafy country lanes, with one main road after about 11 miles. Well marshalled with well positioned water stops. The views come at around 7 miles across the Solent towards the Isle of Wight.Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: Cannot argue with a 9 sec PB......

BAE Systems
Like all military, Special Forces (or SF) candidates start their training with days (roughly nine days) of marine computer training. After finishing the Fundamental Combat Training, a person could be attending the development Individual Training (or AIT). With this type of discipline, candidates visits Infantry School to understand using anti-armor and small arms and armaments like heavy mortars and howitzers. This Advance Individual Training last for nearly per month. This happens at Georgia (Fort Benning).
After almost four rigorous Advance individual training, Military Training is then number of courses: Military Airborne School, the Special Procedures Preparation Course (or SOPC), the SFAS or Special Forces Assessment and Selection, the Special Forces Qualification Course (or SFQC) and also the LET or Live Atmosphere Training. For Mental and physical ToughnessAfter the conclusion of AIT, Airborne preparation is really a distinctive experience that requires special attention as well as an élan to manage mental and physical challenges. This fundamental airborne training takes three days and candidates are trained techniques in parachuting from the plane and safe landing. Non-aided jump would participate the ultimate test too. The three week training includes Ground Week, Tower Week and Jump Week. After passing the Jump Week, students are actually permitted to put on the preferred 'Silver Wing' around the uniform.
Graduating in the Airborne School would qualify soldiers to Special Procedures Preparation Course for nearly per month (four weeks) at Fort Bragg. This really is a primer for SFAS or Military Assessment training but it doesn't promise that students would pass this assessment course after going through SOPC. Special Procedures Preparation Course would aid soldiers to concentrate on physical training (for land navigation) that is one or even the most crucial abilities Special Forces military must have.It's all about Survival: Military Selection and Assessment/AssignmentThe past seven days from the first couple of classes aren't enough if the individual would love to stay in Special Forces.
A soldier, after the SOPC, would again train for the following twenty-four days which preparation is about endurance and survival. It's a very unique and vital experience for candidates because ingenuity, agility and intelligence could be offer number of acidity tests. As they say, most are known as but couple of are selected and individuals who're selected are qualified for that Military Qualification Course.The Special Forces Qualification CourseSpecial Forces Qualification Course has five stages. To become properly trained like a Special Forces Military, a person should undergo the next sections: Individual Abilities, MOS Qualification, Language Training, Collective Training and also the Survival, Escape, Resistance and Evasion course. These training will give candidates an advantage in physical and mental stability.
Survival is Adaptation: Live Atmosphere TrainingBeing an Armed Pressure Soldier does mean being used to unfamiliar situations. In the event that would be, the LET instructs candidates for an immersion program to become adept or well experienced using the area's customs, traditions and languages practically presuming a standing to be a 'local' from the place. The existence of Special Forces Soldiers are certainly not really a walk-in-the-park nevertheless, because they sacrifice their lives, they would continually be the parents of peace and order.

Recently working on exception and logging in a Ruby project I came across a nice gem called Minuteman which uses Redis bitmap to track user activity, further investigation shows that Redis can be used to track other metrics of your application very efficiently as well, last weekend I started to port in C# and thus Minuteman .NET version was born and nuget package is also available. Behind the scene it uses StackExchange's BookSleeve as a Redis Client and as an added feature I have also utilized Redis built-in pubsub so that Signalr can be used to report real time update.
Turbolinks in ASP.NET MVC
I just created a new nuget package that integrates Turbolinks with ASP.NET MVC application. In case you don't know what Turbolinks is, it comes as default in Rails 4 and the latest basecamp uses it extensively. Turbolinks uses ajax and the history api to boost page performance and gives users a smooth ux. Integrating it with ASP.NET MVC is trivial, once you install the nuget package, add the script file into your layout page, there is no dependency on any other external scripts, it works even without jQuery. Next, register the
Turbolinks action filter in
GlobalFilterCollection, you may also decorate it with selective controllers and actions instead of registering it globally. Behind the scene, turbolinks captures all of the anchor's click and uses ajax to load the page, once loaded it replaces the current page body and title with the new, verifies the script and stylesheet changes and finally uses the history api so that the browser back behavior remains the same as regular server side page.
Implementing User Confirmation and Password Reset with One ASP.NET Identity – Pain or Pleasure
Recently, I was trying to introduce GitHub and Twitter login for my TextUml, it was using the simple membership which has out of the box support for Twitter login, my attempt to create a client for GitHub OAuth2 failed, it seems the
OAuthWebSecurity was receiving different query string name for provider from GitHub, anyway I did not want to invest too much time as Microsoft is coming up with a new Membership system called ASP.NET Identity (also the default in ASP.NET MVC 5) and I want to give it a try as the server side of TextUml is already running on all the edge versions of different packages.
Meet TextUml – A Real-time Application Developed with Signalr and Backbone.js
Its been quite a while that I have shared a complete application implementation with my peers, so here is it TextUml, it is still in very early stage and in terms of features it draws uml sequence diagram from your input and you can share the document with multiple users who can participate in collaborative editing. There are few more features that are still under development, so keep an eye on upcoming releases. Behind the scene TextUml is developed with Backbone.js in CoffeeScript, it uses Require.js for modularization, KineticJS for html5 canvas drawing, Mocha, Chai and Sinon for client side testing. The server side uses all the latest beta of ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET WebAPI and Signalr. If you are new to Single Page Application in Microsoft space, the TextUml can serve as good reference application for your learning. The complete source is released under MIT License and available in Github.

Create AngularJS Directives to Remove Duplicate Codes in Form
In my recent post I presented few form templates which was full of duplicate codes. In this post, I will show you how to harness the power of AngularJS Directives to create small reusable code snippets that share common behaviors and avoid duplication. AngularJS Directives probably the most complicated thing in the whole angular framework, there are quite a few things that you need to understand like compiling, linking, nested scoping, transclusion etc.. in order to master it. But in the case, we are going to create few basic directives which does not require an angular expert to understand it. But before it, lets see the original version of the markup where it was full of duplication:

Hands on with the Piaget Emperador Coussin Large Moon
One of those watches that made a big impression from the first time I laid eyes on it, was the Piaget Emperador Coussin Large Moon. And that was only a photo. Recently I got the chance to strap it around my wrist and it was still as good (better actually) as when I saw it on photo several years ago.
With the Emperador Coussin Large Moon, Piaget introduced a new movement with a moon phase indication, caliber 860P. What most people don't know, is that Piaget started as a movement manufacture and still creates their own movement (and sometimes for others as well).
The Emperador Coussin Large Moon measures 46.5 mm in diameter, rather large when simply looking at the specifications. However on the wrist it fits perfectly and although it definitely isn't a small watch, it also isn't too big. Its size really suits the design with the clean dial and over-size crater surface moon.
The 18-carat white gold moon is visible through a 12 mm large aperture and the moon phase is gradually revealed by a rotating 'mask' to indicate the current lunar situation.The photo below clearly shows the size on my average size wrist. Present, but not too big.
Manufacture Piaget 860P mechanical self-winding movement has 25 jewels and has a beat rate of 21,600 vph. It has a comfortable 72 hours of power reserve, that allows you to put the watch in the safe for the weekend and on Monday wear it to the office again without having to wind or adjust it.
Caliber 860P is entirely designed, developed and produced by the Piaget and feature the typical Piaget signature finish. Its bridges winding rotor are finished with circular Côtes de Genève, the bridges are bevelled, the mainplate is circular-grained and of course the screws are blued. Another typical haute horlogerie feature: a balance with screws to adjust the moment of inertia. In total caliber 860P measures 6.1 mm in height.
The case is satin brushed, while the bezel is polished. This gives a nice contrast and puts emphasis on the slate-grey dial with its sunburst satin-brushed silver-coloured center. Besides the 18-carat white gold applied hour-markers the center and moon phase aperture are 'framed' by a white gold rim.
The sapphire crystal case-back shows the movement and an engraving of the year of production and the number of watches produced. It comes on a black alligator strap with a white gold folding clasp. Or… you can choose for the pink gold version with blue dial and than you'll be able to close the strap with a pink gold folding clasp.
You can find more information on the Piaget website and the official Piaget Facebook page.

Cisco to take on Skype
The networking giant is set to bring its high-end videoconferencing technology into the home office -- and the living room.
By James Rogers, TheStreet
Cisco (CSCO) is set to bring its high-end videoconferencing technology into the home, according to The Wall Street Journal, marking the next big push in the company's consumer products strategy.
Cisco hasn't officially announced the venture, although it will likely come during a Cisco Web cast scheduled for Wednesday. In a press release, Cisco heralds the event as "a new consumer experience."
Citing a person briefed on the matter, the Journal reports that the Cisco system includes a video camera and a device that connects to high-definition TVs. The system will be priced at $600, with a $300 monthly subscription fee.
Cisco is also likely to draw on its telepresence technology for the new announcement. A form of high-end videoconferencing, Cisco's telepresence was initially aimed at corporations, but the company has hinted that it intends to push the tech into home offices.
At the CES show in Las Vegas earlier this year, Cisco CEO John Chambers ran a series of demos using telepresence to speak with people in other parts of the U.S., including his wife in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Although Chambers didn't unveil new products during his hour-long presentation, he promised that Cisco's video strategy will be completely "device agnostic." Video, for example, is seen as an ideal use of tablet computers such as Apple's (AAPL) iPad.
The tech bellwether has made inroads with video over the past few years, acquiring Norwegian videoconferencing specialist Tandberg last year and Flip camera maker Pure Digital.
During Cisco's recent fourth-quarter conference call, Chambers said the Tandberg acquisition, combined with telepresence, brought in revenue of approximately $370 million, a 40% hike over the same period last year. While a drop in the ocean compared with Cisco's total revenue of $10.8 billion, videoconferencing has become a cornerstone of the company's long-term strategy.
Chambers has already predicted a home-entertainment revolution, which he says will see the worlds of TV and Internet collide. In addition to opening a new revenue stream, an increase in video traffic will drive demand for Cisco's core networking gear.
Of course, as Cisco continues its push into the consumer market, a new videoconferencing-at-home venture would pit the company against established players like Webcam maker Logitech (LOGI) and Skype.
Shares of Cisco dipped 31 cents, or 1.4%, to $21.60 on Monday as the Nasdaq slipped 1.4%.
"Cisco will be announcing a new consumer product at a press event in San Francisco on October 6th, 2010," a Cisco spokesman confirmed via e-mail to TheStreet. The company, however, has no additional details to provide at this time, he added.

I had decided, at my age, not to buy any more Bdx futures. I made that decision after buying a bunch of 2000. Now comes 2005 and all the hype and I'm caught up in it again. Decided a month ago, definitely not. No way. Now I get an email from Sam's in Chicago directing me to this site:
http://www.samswine.com/Products/Browse ... ord&Page=1
And having just tasted a bunch of 90's at MoCOOL, and the very impressive showing of the 1990 St. Estephes there, I am rethinking it. These are shown as 15% off, and the sale is purportedly only thru the Labor Day weekend.
So how are these prices? Any stand out as exceptional? Any of these likely to be really interesting within 10 years?

Secrets To Treating Lower Extremity Volleyball Injuries
- Volume 18 - Issue 10 - October 2005
- 27108 reads
- 0 comments
As with all ankle sprains, the most important initial treatment is protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation. How long the athlete should use this regimen depends on the severity of the injury. Typically, the treatment lasts only a few days until edema subsides. The biomechanical ankle platform system (BAPS), tilt board or ankle discs can strengthen and restore balance. Functional exercises should begin with low-impact activities and advance to cutting and jumping activities. These athletes commonly use ankle braces, taping and high-topped shoes to provide stability to the ankle and prevent further injury.
How To Address And Prevent Patellar Tendinitis And Patellofemoral Syndrome
The most common overuse injury reported in volleyball athletes is patellar tendinitis or "jumper's knee." Jumping to hit or block the ball requires a high rate of force development in extension and external tibial rotation, stressing the patellofemoral joint and tendon. Furthermore, eccentric loading of the quadriceps during landing can also compromise these tissues. Repetition of these mechanical stresses can cause microtears, irritation and inflammation, resulting in symptoms of pain and swelling localized to the lower pole of the patella, or less frequently, the upper pole of the patella or the tibial tuberosity.
Patellofemoral syndrome is also a common, overuse, knee-related injury in volleyball. Abnormal tracking of the patella within the femoral groove can cause irritation of the articular surface of the patella and inflammation of the femoral groove. Repeated, forced extension of the knees, as one may see in hitters and blockers, or the demands placed on the knees of defensive specialists can stress the patellofemoral joint. This is especially the case if the patella is not aligned properly within the femoral groove. The etiology of patellar malalignment is often an increased Q angle, which results in lateral tracking of the patella.
This situation is further complicated by anatomic variants such as genu valgum, genu recurvatum, patella alta, pronated feet, wide pelvis and external tibial torsion. Inflexibility of the iliotibial band or a weakness in the oblique portion of the vastus medialis can also result in lateral tracking of the patella. Give special attention to female athletes because they are more susceptible to these tracking abnormalities. Athletes who have patellofemoral symptoms experience pain with jumping and squatting. Stair climbing or sitting for long periods also increase knee pain. Crepitus and a patellar grind test are indicative of patellofemoral stress syndrome.
Managing these overuse injuries begins with ice and antiinflammatory medication. Paying close attention to patellar tracking is necessary to rule out any anatomic abnormalities, especially in the female athlete. Emphasizing exercise techniques to strengthen and improve recruitment of the vastus medialis can improve medial patellar stability. Using patellar mobilization techniques, iliotibial band stretching and foot orthoses to correct hyperpronation can also help re-establish lateral patellar mobility. Be sure to initiate hamstring and quadriceps flexibility and strengthening exercises. Taping, patellar stabilizing braces and patellar straps can also help to reduce pain.
To help prevent patellar tendinitis, identify players who are at increased risk. Those who generate the greatest power during jumping and have the highest vertical jumps have been found to be at the greatest risk. Decreasing their jump training may help prevent patellar tendinitis. Players who have increased external tibial torsion and deeper knee flexion at takeoff may also be at greater risk. Coaching these athletes in proper jumping technique may reduce the likelihood of these injuries.

February 10, 2012 | By Daniel Incandela
Indiana Weather
This past Sunday, thousands of us basked in the glow of the Super Bowl sun, thankful for the 50 degree weather at the beginning of February. A few days later, I find myself looking out of my office window at the outside of Turn 1 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There is frost on the trees and stands. Welcome to Indiana.
There is a slightly annoying and overused saying in these parts. It goes something like – "If you don't like the weather in Indiana, just wait a few minutes." As a staff member at IMS, I've shared 'that look' with colleagues when it starts raining during May or at our other events. It wouldn't be May without some rain or weather oddity.
If you've visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway I'm sure you can relate. You've probably experienced everything from sweltering heat, tornado warnings, falling frogs, torrential downpours, rainbows, uncharacteristically cold weather, big gusts of wind and even snowflakes.
In each case, everyone has to scramble to make things happen. As Lupe Fiasco said "The Show Goes On."
We have the images to prove that the weather at The Brickyard tends to provide some bizarre situations. Browse through the gallery to find everything from canoes, to floods, to snow and even some sunshine.
We're already into the 2012 race season. The Rolex 24 at Daytona experienced flawless weather. Next up is the Daytona 500, followed by the F1 opener in Melbourne and the IndyCar Series kick off in St. Pete. Who knows what the weather will do to affect these races and all the other Series around the world? It will somehow, it always does.
The Indianapolis 500 is just over 100 days away. I'm excited, our entire company is ramping up and I know our fans are counting down the days. As I glance out of my window, the sun is out and there is snow falling.
Is this February or May?
The show must go on.
