Final Fantasy VII-Inspired Rap Album Coming
This music video surfaced yesterday. It's a Final Fantasy VII-inspired rap about Aerith's plotline by an artist called Random (Mega Ran), and it's actually a great song. The video looks more like a fan tribute, but the song itself is quality, especially if you were a fan who felt connected to Aerith and Cloud's relationship. A full Final Fantasy VII rap album will be released on 1.31.11 at http://random.bandcamp.com.
He's also done a few albums about the Mega Man series. You can listen to the tracks on the site listed above.

Jenny McCarthy's Contract With The View Will Not Be Renewed
I think it would be a terrible idea for one big reason. Bethenny's ego. Bethenny doesn't want to be going from being the star of her very own show to one of a group who barely can get a word in and doesn't stick out. She would try and dominate the show and that isn't going to make her appeal to viewers.

If it's Tuesday it must be over ... Beauty Week in Las Vegas at Cosmoprof/PBA/NCA, that is.
Well it is Tuesday, and I'm on a plane back home, along with legends Sam Brocato and David Raccuglia, as well as a team of professional salon distributors. Their presence reminds me that colleagues are one family, relatives are another, and there is commonality in what you do for both. Like being prepared for what they give and take, making time for them, learning from them and appreciating them. Nothing brought this home like Beauty Week, which underscored that much of connecting with any family is about shared experiences.
At the show, I presented the Business of Beauty Report for the Professional Beauty Association (PBA). Pre-planning for three rotating workshops that would delve into myth busting, we organized the data for a fresh vision from the client's perspective. The idea: When you experience what the client does—when you stand in her shoes—you realize that retailing = retaining.
Many salons are like a safe-haven for their clients, and hairdressers act as personal confidants. These deeper stylist-client connections make Cut It Out! Stylists Against Domestic Violence a natural partnership-program, which is why I agreed to present it during the North American Hairstyling Awards.
Presenting at NAHA
It is a dark and fearsome topic, domestic abuse. Our call to action was to place literature in salon bathrooms to offer a way out, a ray of hope, a number to call. What makes more sense than a free-to-salons program that allows them to possibly save the precious life of someone close to them?
Our extended families are part of many of our first experiences, and for all of mine, I still have them and hope that never changes. My "first" at the show was to moderate a summit of four CEOs and encourage them to speak about their companies' culture, perspectives of the industry and leadership philosophies. I had never moderated a panel before and when I was initially invited to host the event, I immediately said, "No." I would be out of my comfort zone, and I sure didn't want that!
But another "family" member was there to help and encourage. My speaking agent Bobi Seredich insisted that I could do it and arranged for a coach to work with me. The training was concise and pointed, and the trainer gave me homework to complete, ensuring I would adhere to the mantra: "They are the Kings of Content, You are the Queen of Process."
It was my job to maintain momentum and energy, and make the panel feel comfortable answering my questions. I am so grateful for that training! Without having Power Point presentations to prompt them, Michael Riley of Scruples, Ron Krassin of Zotos, John Heffner of Creative Nail Design and Pat Parenty of L'Oreal USA Professional Products Division spoke openly and honestly about common issues facing employees, distributors, salons and customers. It was enlightening and hopeful, and I had a sense the audience felt the same.
Naturally, in-between the events were the hugs and hellos, followed by hallway conversations and coffees—all for the purpose of catching up with friends and reconnecting with colleagues. At the City of Hope Spirit of Life event honoring Eva Graham of Nioxin fame, the outpouring of support and evidence of family came through loud and clear via donations and attendance.
With City of Hope honoree Eva Graham, of Nioxin
To complete the weekend, I reconnected with my cousin Ty, who is the father of four. Ty has spent his entire adult life standing at the gambling tables as a dealer and was recently promoted to pit boss at Caesar's and Planet Hollywood.
Of all the moments of the weekend, those with my cousin and his children were the most poignant. There's just nothing like blood connections, because they give you a true sense of belonging—of where you fit in.
As Ty and I talked, we found ourselves drifting toward something family members naturally do when they re-connect: We recounted one of the shared experiences that cements us. It was the day my sister passed away, and there were 16 of us standing around her bed holding hands, singing and telling stories, as she quietly, with dignity, slipped into her next eternal life. She taught me how to die gracefully. And it was important for Ty and his kids to recognize how we're in this together—and that we must make a stronger effort to stay in touch and be there for each other.
We hugged, kissed and promised. We solidified our connections.
For families both hereditary and chosen, experiences old and new, planning to connect and share is what makes us feel accomplished, happy and human. It's the electricity of our lives.

Length: 15' 8" - Width: 35.5" - Starting at: $899.99See More Details about this Canoe
The canoe is exceptionally stable. I often stood in the canoe to cast when fishing. It is an awesome tripping canoe, capable of carrying 1,100 lbs. It was, however, heavy, which made portaging the canoe tiring.
My canoe had the bench seat, which allowed me to solo paddle the canoe backwards by sitting in the bow seat. Contrary to what has been written, the newer model is not a good solo canoe. The contoured seats and backrests prevent solo paddlers from paddling the canoe backwards. Paddling solo from the stern seat is doable, but it raises the bow high out of the water, which on windy days will turn the bow into a sail.
If you need a great family canoe, this is the ideal canoe to get. It's very stable, something you want in a family canoe, especially if you have little tikes along. If, however, most of your canoeing will be done solo, look at an Old Town model with webbed seats instead.
The Discovery 158 may be a little old in design, and a touch heavy for one middle-aged person to line up on a compact car (it can be done, with a little knowledge of leverage) but this boat is very maneuverable for a tandem. We've only dumped it once...when it got hung up mid-boat under a camping load on an invisible submerged rock. We've put hundreds of miles on this canoe, and it's still got hundreds of good miles in it. Recommended for a tandem paddling couple who does overnight gravelbar camping.
A nearly three foot beam (width) makes it a relatively stable craft and straight sides allow for ample space for camping gear while maintaining a shallow draft. Should the boat fill with water (it can happen), floatation is in the hull rather than under the seats or in the bow and stern freeing up those areas for additional storage.
The contoured Ash crossbar makes for a comfortable back rest when canoeing solo in a kneeling position. Speaking of soloing, I found the Discovery 158 responsive when using a single-blade paddle or as I prefer, a double-bladed paddle in both still waters and in moderate river rapids.
Overall, the Discovery 158 offers forgiveness to the beginner and yet well suited for the skilled canoeist.
This canoe is everything the reviews say it is and more. I have rolled it over alone and with a buddy (who now has his own boats), but I did learn. Mine is a 1991 which was stored inside before I bought it and I took good care of it afterward, as a result it still looks like new. It is good for almost everything you would want a canoe for and is indestructible. It is reasonably priced and carries a tremendous load, but I personally think that it has beautiful lines of the older canoe's. That is why I would never sell it even though I have bought 5 more boats of different makes for different purposes. You cannot go wrong with this canoe.
It's very stable for the kids and it is a tank. If I'm worried about a tricky landing and the kids dumping us out, I can ram the bow right up on shore and I have no concerns about how the boat will handle it. You won't win any races in this boat but it is a good all around family trooper. Using the bent shaft paddles on the lakes seems to help quite a bit and I paddle it solo by turning it around backwards and kneeling while resting against the tractor seats. I'm not running races or doing anything worse than class II all over Ohio - for that, I couldn't ask for a better boat and value.
I doubt I'll ever sell mine as it is my first canoe and will be a good "loaner" but, I wouldn't buy another. Save your money for another month or so and buy a better canoe...there really is a difference. They say, "buying the good stuff only hurts once." It's true.
120,000+ people can't be wrong!

Einmnal DVD-D Disposable Movies
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Home Entertainment, Misc. Tech, Movies
Welcome to the world of expiring movies. Einmal's DVD-Ds are only good for a 48 hour period and then the data is deleted. A few years ago, Flexplay had the same idea and used to offer titles via Amazon, although it never really caught on. If you check on Amazon's site, you will find a "not available" and an offer from Unbox for a $2.99 rental or $9.99 price.
The discs are already in Italy, France and Scandinavia, but we are thinking with a price tag of €3.99 ($6.44,) you can head to your nearest retailer and check out the discount bin. And if you want to be really green about it, we still adore our Netflix.

I really hate this idea to be honest. Disney was thinking about doing this for awhile as well, but it is such a waste of resources! Think of all the trash that is going to come out of all of this… these companies claim they want to be green, and now we are moving in the opposite direction :(
You only need about two hours or so to watch a movie so this isn't a bad idea. I just don't like that it expires because some movies are enjoyable to watch more than once.

I fell in appreciate with India years ago when I did volunteer operate with Mother Teresa in Calcutta. Initially, it assaulted my 5 senses with such extreme contrasts. It was nonetheless, absolutely nothing less than fascinating. The aromatic food excellent, individuals so friendly, the fragrance and colors so exotic, it was intoxicating. It really is my delight to present it to you now on a journey of discovery you are going to never ever forget. We focus on the most beneficial of India together with the highlight of Pushkar, a the moment in a lifetime experience. In November the weather is best and weve secured leading hotels all through.
Search phrases:
We arrive towards the land of 1000 languages and 1000 gods. At the Intercontinental, the girls in my group are welcomed with marigolds and branded with all the typical red dot on our foreheads. This hotel is an oasis of luxury inside a polluted city of 14 million people. Two days are spent touring Delhi. The obligatory web sites contain Gandhis Tomb and many UNESCO Globe Heritage Web pages. No where else have ancient traditions blended together with the contemporary on a scale so evident as in Delhi. Fat sacred Brahma bulls block website traffic building delays. Within this Hindu land, cows rule. Dogs, monkeys and youngsters cross at their own danger.
I like spiced food and start each day having a three alarm-curry breakfast. We head by coach for Rajasthan, the stunning desert state where cows are replaced by camels. The air is sweeter and almost everything much more colorful. Here is really a microcosm of all that India is. The people are genteel using a humility if spirit and nevertheless light up in the sight of foreigners. We continually wave via our windows to those that stare with curiosity and appear to say, why have you come here? As a fan of the third world, this spot has been on my dream list for years. I now vividly enter that element of travel that offers me astonishment.
Weve come to attend the annual Camel Fair in Pushkar which has taken spot to get a thousand years. As the worlds largest, it has at its peak attracted 50,000 camels with 200,000 traders. We unpack at our camp named Exotic Adventures. Our spartan tents did have ensuite toilets but toilet paper was at a premium. There was a 24 hour guard outside who stingily rationed our quota. In the desert, nights are frigid and afternoons sweltering. I confided to a guest there from the American Embassy that I felt like I was in an episode of Survivor. She laughed assuring me that it was all worth it. Soon my shock turns to awe as I enter the fairgrounds.
Set on miles of shifting sand dunes with festooned camels as well as a flood of pilgrims, the scene looks entirely surreal. Its like a State Fair on steroids. There is a flurry of horse, bullock and camel races, contests for milking, animal decorating, turban tying, tattooing as well as snake charmers, absolutely free carnival rides, mystics, astrologers and dazzling stalls of handicrafts at giveaway rates. The ground reverberates with activities. Thousands of Rajasthani woman have arrived dressed in their finest clothes in close to neon colors. I watch trained monkeys, painted cows and cobras dance. No words can adequately describe how this helter skelter overwhelms my 5 senses. Other individuals can have Europe with its cathedrals and museums. For me, this exotic exposure and cultural immersion could be the ultimate travel!
Covered in dust, we return to camp. Each night there is certainly entertainment under the stars with musicians, folk dancers, puppet show or fire eaters. No alcohol is allowed right here and all meals are vegetarian buffets. An Ayurveda Center gives us treatments to cleanse body toxins. We decline them: induced vomiting, enemas, nasal drainage and blood letting.
We tour the holy city of Pushkar with its sacred lake developed by Lord Brahma. Pilgrims come from afar to bathe within the ghats and worship round the clock. We study about religions here: Zorastrism, Sihkism, the mystic Sufis, Jainists who wont kill a mosquito, Hinduism that claims no absolute truth and the caste method. We tour temples in the lake; some are blessed by priests. Later, a highlight for me was a 1 hour Camel Cart Safari behind the scenes from the fair. Young children line our route shouting to us hi, hello, 1 pen please! We see a camel slaughtered and half naked people washing. Back inside the grounds, we stop by an orphanage and scatter individually to acquire lost in the feverish revelry. We ride big spitting camels that offer us a heightened point of view of it all. I acquire a dozen garnet necklaces and silver ankle bracelets. Teenage boys strategy Terry to photograph him. Hes 65. One particular politely as him, Sir, what do you eat?
Our group was wonderful!
There are actually endless food courts having said that we should pass all enticements to stop Delhi Belly. I come across the cacophony of chaos delightful. Pushkar is genuinely a celebration affair for the locals and we're just observant guests. Im so grateful to experience such but time to proceed on with our busy itinerary.
We arrive to the famed Pink City of Jaipur, now more deep maroon from pollution. In touring its palaces, fort and architectural marvels, we discover with the good Amber rulers and maharajahs in the Moghul empire. History comes alive and I come across myself so interested in that which I by no means cared about. And here is actually a shoppers paradise for silk sarees, gems, jewelry and marble crafts. I visited an animal sanctuary known as Help In Suffering. The worst cases of many species are treated right here by volunteer veterinarians. Forty five stray dogs are sterilized daily and I witness a surgery. (See HIS-INDIA.com ) You could simply mail them a examine to help.
At 'Help In Suffering' a dog spaying Creating a donation Volunteer vets speak to Suzy
On to determine the grand Fatehpur Sikri, Ghost City of Akbar that was abandoned resulting from scarcity of water. We lastly reach Agra, a broken city of two.five million. Hawkers harass us. Chained bears dance for rupees in the street. Hungry young children beg. We're thankful to lodge in the deluxe Sheraton here with its western cuisine and very affordable massages at $20. It was like a galaxy transform from the downtown.
Soon after witnessing an eyeful of wonders along the way, we have saved the best for final at the worlds greatest tribute to love. Goosebumps rise as I enter the majestic gate for the Taj Mahal. Morning sunlight illuminates it like a flawless pearl22 years to develop by 200,000 guys with two million pieces of inlaid semi-precious stones. Immediately after a lecture on why this great symmetry was developed for Queen Mumtaz, we disperse to photograph what looks to become a mirage. It truly is poetry in architecture and as magnificent as could be imagined.
Back in Delhi, all of us delight in a totally free day of leisure to discover as we opt for! Most go shopping as rates are extravagantly low but how many Pashmina shawls does one particular have to have? For our final evening we take pleasure in a show named Dances of India followed by a farewell feast of our Final (Indian) Supper.
I remises yet another journey properly accomplished with excellent guides, drivers, assistance and accommodations. I recall my preferred moment which took spot in the fair when I hired two body guides to help me through the crowds, Jamal and Ranshi. These two 11 year old boys bonded to me like barnacles and their beaming smiling faces will forever stay etched in my memory of India. This trip has renewed my curiosity of your globe reminding me yet again that my really like of travel proliferates itself. The extra I see, the much more I would like to see.
This country is for the seasoned traveler. I'm particularly impressed with all the fortitude and patience of my group of 60 people today within a land of erratic infrastructure. For some it was their initially stop by to the third planet but they all persevered like pros. To witness suffering initial hand will be the fullest way to appreciate dwelling. We saw things each appalling and joyful. The word fascinating however would sum up the whole trip. I have to return once more.

Established in 1998, today's eight College Houses are a cornerstone of the Bowdoin residential experience. Sometimes referred to as the "living rooms" of campus, the houses sponsor special meals, study breaks and other events for first-year affiliates. They also host campus-wide events from lectures and film screenings to apple picking trips and registered parties.
House residents are selected through an application process with input from faculty, deans, students, and staff. Successful selection is based on creative programming ideas and willingness to contribute to an energetic, cooperative team. House officers gain leadership skills that often propel them to other highly visible leadership roles at the College. There is no shortage of support for these leaders- the Residential Life directors, deans in the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs, and faculty advisors all serve as advisors to the Houses.
All incoming first-year students are affiliated with a House based on their floor in the first-year bricks. First-year and upperclass students have full voting privileges and the opportunity to run for leader positions in their house. Upperclass students may also apply to live in their affiliated House.

Wall Street's 'fear gauge' jumps
The CBOE Volatility Index jumps as traders scramble to protect against a market selloff.
It's been a quiet couple of months for stocks as the major averages grind higher. In fact, the S&P 500 hasn't closed below its 50-day moving average since September 1. That's 99 trading days and represents the longest consecutive rally since early 2007.
But as I mentioned in my last blog post, there was evidence of trouble brewing. The smallest, riskiest, and most sensitive stocks in the market recently started to badly lag their larger brethren. Big disparities in the performance of small cap stocks vs. the mega cap stocks are frequently seen at turning points.
Things are playing out according to plan as stocks move lower today. As a result, investors are scrambling to protect their positions against continued declines by snapping up equity put options. That's pushing up the CBOE Volatility Index ($VIX), commonly known as Wall Street's "fear gauge" to levels not seen since November. The VIX has now moved over its 50-day moving average, a level that tends to coincide with significant market pullbacks.
You can see this in the chart above. The last time the VIX jumped its 50-day MA was back in November during the turmoil associated with the Irish bailout. Before that, the VIX made a move during the August selloff. Unless the VIX turns tail and moves lower soon, expect stock prices to continue to suffer.
But that's not all.
Other signs of trouble include the recent increase in measures of short-term market volatility vs. medium-term volatility expectations. These measures are derived from trading on S&P 500 options. When Wall Street worries about a correction, they buy put options for protection which drives up the cost or premium of the contracts. This gets reflected in the CBOE Volatility Index and CBOE 3-Month Volatility Index ($VXV) depending on how far into the future the turmoil is expected to be.
Right now, short-term volatility expectations are increasing relative to 3-month expectations. As a result, the ratio of the two has pushed up and over its 200-day moving average as shown in the chart above. This typically happens at market turning points or during periods of stress. The last example of this was back in November. Before that, it was back in the April/May period.
All of this suggests are set for a period of weakness after an incredible five-month rally.

Maybe-Just maybe stocks and their averages have ground a little too high for a short period. The Fed is determined to keep the cheap money policy afloat. Stocks may be due for a short set back but will soon be off and running higher again.
My thoughts are: Try to stick with large cap dividend payers., Hold them till we get an good interest rate increase, then rethink your positions. After a couple of interest rate hikes, that should drop stock prices and dividend payers stock prices...

Farnaz Jahangiri, M.D.
Assistant Professor
Obstetrics & Gynecology
Assistant Professor
Obstetrics & Gynecology
For a teenage girl or young woman, the first visit to a gynecologist can be crucial for future health habits – a bad experience could discourage her from ever going back. So Farnaz Jahangiri, M.D., tries to make it easier. She talks girls and young women through that stressful first appointment, making sure they understand the process and putting them at ease. "I know how scary it can be," she says.
We're not just a big research institution. We do patient care, too – and we have access to any subspecialist."
Dr. Jahangiri brings that humane approach to patients of all ages. As a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, she offers care across a woman's lifespan, including surgery, prenatal care and deliveries, hormone therapy, vaginal and vulvar problems, and the assessment and treatment of post-menopausal disorders.
For patients who need surgery, she performs not only standard operations but also minimally invasive robotic surgery. That gentler and more precise option can be ideal for many women, including those who have had multiple operations in the past and those who may face a higher risk of complications, such as infection.
Whether caring for mothers, teens, or surgical patients, Dr. Jahangiri always emphasizes clear communication. She vividly recalls watching her non-English-speaking parents nod yes to a doctor whose words they didn't comprehend. That taught her how important it is for patients to understand their doctors, whether or not they're native English speakers.
"We use a lot of jargon," she says, "and sometimes there is literally a language barrier. I'm sensitive to that, because I've been there personally."

The announcement Tuesday that the federal government is releasing $3.1 billion in low-income heating assistance, of which Connecticut's take is $72.4 million, couldn't come at a better time for local social service agencies that deal with the state's neediest.
"Norwich is the largest city in southeastern Connecticut, and unfortunately we have a lot of people who are out of work," said Norwich Human Services Director Beverly Goulet. "We don't have the jobs that we once had. Sadly, I think we are going to see more first-time applicants."
The LIHEAP funds for southeastern Connecticut are managed through Thames Valley Council for Community Action Inc.'s Connecticut Energy Assistance Program.
This year TVCCA received a little more than $11.3 million to assist low-income households who need help paying for the primary way they heat their home.
Chris Sardo, director of energy and support services at TVCCA, said 5,000 households have applied for assistance.
"This is definitely a record for having people apply this early," Sardo said. "I think people are being more proactive this year. I think they realize that they are not earning enough or that their unemployment is going to run out."
Two years ago, 3,878 applications were received by the end of November, said Deborah Monahan, executive director at TVCCA. She said this heating season she expects to receive 10,000 applications.
"What we are finding is that people are either on fixed incomes or they are unemployed and need help paying a variety of bills and in this case it's their energy bills," Monahan said. "So if they can get help to pay their fuel, it frees up money to pay for something else."
The amount of assistance qualified applicants can receive ranges from $350 to $575, depending on income. If people need more help a crisis assistance benefit of $400 is available, and if that runs out an additional $400 safety net benefit can be obtained as well.
Monahan said the first round of fuel delivery will start Thursday.
"People are coming upon hard times, and I would like to think we are helping them," she said.

Emerging Evidence On Footstrike Patterns In Running
- Volume 27 - Issue 6 - June 2014
- 8439 reads
- 11 comments
In two recent case studies, both by Diebal and colleagues, runners with anterior chronic exertional compartment syndrome who underwent gait retraining from a rearfoot striking pattern to a forefoot striking pattern showed a significant decrease in pain and disability when running.29,30 Therefore, with this gait retraining research in mind, sports podiatrists may consider suggesting that a rearfoot striking runner with anterior chronic exertional compartment syndrome should make a gradual change to a midfoot or forefoot striking running pattern due to the initial positive results reported by Diebal and colleagues in treating this disabling running injury.
Final Notes
In conclusion, the barefoot/minimalist shoe advocates and the "alternative running technique" advocates have made a number of claims about footstrike patterns in running over the past five years. Unfortunately, very few, if any, of these claims have any support within the scientific research literature.
Sports podiatrists who treat recreational and competitive runners need to be aware of the latest running research in order to be able to offer their patients thorough information and advice. Both recreational and competitive running athletes trust that sports podiatrists, as the foot and running shoe experts of their medical communities, are their best source for accurate information on running biomechanics, running injuries and proper footstrike patterns, and that the information they provide is based on scientific fact, not the latest fad.
Dr. Kirby is an Adjunct Associate Professor within the Department of Applied Biomechanics at the California School of Podiatric Medicine at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland, Calif. He is in private practice in Sacramento, Calif.
Thank you for the article Dr. Kirby.
With the evidence overwhelmingly in favor of a rearfoot strike pattern and runners finding their own metabolically efficient running style, what do you think is the driving force behind the popularity of minimalist shoes and Pose Running style among some podiatrists?Reply to this comment »
I believe there has been an overwhelming amount of misinformation and hype over the last five years being generated by a certain subset of individuals that for some unknown reason want to imagine that somehow, rearfoot striking is bad and forefoot and/or midfoot striking is good for all runners. These erroneous opinions were largely generated by books such as "Born to Run" by Chris McDougall where the author cherry-picked the large database of running biomechanics literature and hand-selected only researchers to interview for his book that favored his barefoot/minimalist shoe message.
In addition, Pose Running, even though popular among a small group of runners, has not been shown to be metabolically more efficient but rather has been found to be more metabolically inefficient. The creator of Pose Running was a coauthor of the article that found his own running form technique classes that runners pay to learn produced less metabolically inefficient running (Dallam GF, Wilber RL, Jadeles K, Fletcher G, Romanov N. Effect of a global alteration on running technique on kinematics and economy. J Sports Sciences. 2005;23(7):757-764).
All in all, the barefoot running and minimalist running fad is slowly dying a slow death here in the USA and in other countries. Runners that tried to convert to barefoot running and minimalist running shoes under the advice of supposed "experts" are now realizing that they drank the proverbial Kool-Aid by listening to and actually believing these "experts" that barefoot and minimalist running shoe running would be the cure-all for all their injuries. Many of them became injured, disillusioned and angry by listening to the hype from these "experts".
However, that being said, the barefoot/minimalist shoe and footstrike controversies over the past five years have served a useful purpose in that it generated significantly more interest in running and running shoe biomechanics that has led to much more research and helped us answer many research questions that could not have been answered five years ago. Hopefully, further research will allow us to better advise our patients and the public on the best running foot strike patterns and running shoe for their specific biomechanical makeup.

Excellent article Dr. Kirby. Finally a balanced piece on the subject and backed by the current evidence instead of hyperbole and opinion.Reply to this comment »
Thanks for the kind comments, David. I agree with you that scientific research evidence should be what drives our opinions on the important subject of foot strike patterns in runners.
In that regard, since I submitted this article for publication, an excellent article on footstrike patterns in ultra-marathon runners has been recently published which showed that a rearfoot strike pattern was again the predominant footstrike pattern in 373 runners in a 100 mile ultra-marathon race. At 16.5 km, the percentage of RF strikers was 79.9%, at 90.3 km was 89.0%, at 90.7 km was 84.8% and at 161.1 km was 83.9%.
In addition, it was found that the post-race creatine phosphokinase levels were significantly higher in the non-RF strikers than in the athletes that were RF strikers, indicating possibly that non-RF strikers may exhibit more muscle damage than RF strikers in ultramarathons (Kasmer ME, Wren JJ, Hoffman MD: Foot strike pattern and gait changes during a 161-km ultramarathon. J Strength Cond Research, 28 (5):1343-1350, 2014).
Much more research is necessary to determine what the optimum foot strike pattern is for each individual runner and how foot strike patterns affect the production of specific overuse injuries in the foot and lower extremities of recreational and competitive distance runners.

Thanks for your valuable summary and for referring to our recent publication Kevin. I agree that the barefoot/minimalist shoe and foot strike controversies have stimulated new knowledge that we otherwise wouldn't have at this point.
As for our recent study, you mentioned our finding of higher post-race blood creatine phosphokinase (CK) concentrations among non-rear foot strikers compared with rear foot strikers. While this analysis was pre-planned and we recognized a theoretical basis for the findings, it was indeed somewhat remarkable that the group difference reached statistical significance since there is such a wide variability in CK concentrations among the participants in this race.
The finding suggests that a small percentage of highly experienced runners naturally select a foot strike pattern that may neither be most economical nor optimal at limiting muscular damage. I suspect it's not because these runners need to be re-educated about how to run correctly, but that they had adapted a movement pattern that was most effective for their needs under the circumstances of the event. I favor the concept that humans generally adapt to the most appropriate movement pattern over time, unless overly influenced by outside factors, and that part of our job as scientists is to explain why they do what they do. Some of our thoughts on this are discussed in our publication (Millet GY, Hoffman MD, Morin JB. Sacrificing economy to improve running performance – a reality in the ultramarathon? J Appl Physiology 2012;113:513).

Thanks for the further information on your research. As you know, foot strike pattern is just one of the many kinematic variables when one is assessing the gait function of runners. Other kinematic variables such as arm swing, stride length, stride frequency, time of double float phase, angle of gait, base of gait and rearfoot pronation/supination may also be important variables that may or may not affect running performance, running efficiency and the production of running-related injuries. In addition, velocity of running also affects foot strike pattern with sprinters nearly always being forefoot strikers and slow joggers nearly always being rearfoot strikers.
One of my biggest frustrations of being involved with the barefoot/shod running and foot strike debate over the past five years is the notion among many of the barefoot/minimalist/anti-rearfoot striking advocates is their belief that 1) foot strike pattern is the most important running kinematic variable and 2) all runners would benefit from choosing to run with an "ideal" non-rearfoot striking pattern. Not only are these ideas not consistent with the current scientific literature, they also don't make sense from my forty years of observation of elite, sub-elite and recreational runners.
Certainly, we must all give the central nervous system of a runner credit that it can, over time, select the most metabolically efficient running form for that runner given that runner's paticular foot and lower extremity structural and functional biomechanical makeup. The fear of mine is that some running coach would read "Born to Run", believe all of the cherry-picked half-truths from that book and then start teaching all his runners to run without rearfoot striking. Unfortunately, I have seen that come true in my own running community. Hopefully, now that the barefoot/minimalist running fad is slowly dying, a little more sanity will prevail in running communities across our great country.

It would have been nice if any of these studies correlated equinus with preferred strike patterns.Reply to this comment »
Nice article. What about the research on where your foot lands in relation to your hip? I have read articles and supposedly research that it isn't which part of your foot that strikes the ground first but is it in front of your hips or under your hips when it strikes the ground.Reply to this comment »
Foot placement relative to the center of mass (CoM) of the body or to the hip joint during running is important but is not a constant. During acceleration, such as during the start of a sprint, the feet will be well behind the CoM and during deceleration in running, the feet will be well ahead of the CoM. In addition, at faster running speeds, where there is increased force on the body from the force of air pressure posteriorly, the feet will tend to be more posteriorly located relative to the CoM.
I believe that foot placement during running needs much more research before we can say that there is "one best foot placement relative to the CoM" for any one running speed, any one running surface angle or any one wind velocity.

Thank you for an excellent article on this subject.
It would be also interesting to obtain more basic information about the physics pertaining to different running styles. Propulsion involves downward force applied by the forefoot which relates to leverage. The lever arms to look at involve the distance from the ankle joint, the fulcrum, to the forefoot surface involved in propulsion as well as the distance from the insertion point of the Achilles to the ankle joint fulcrum. Midfoot or forefoot striking effectively shortens the lever arm involved in propulsion, thereby potentially decreasing propulsive power or requiring greater force through the gastrosoleus-Achilles complex to achieve the same power.Reply to this comment »
Thank you for your interest in my article.
The scientific research on running biomechanics seems to indicate that rearfoot, midfoot and forefoot striking runners don't differ so much during propulsion but differ more in the initial loading stages of the support phase (i.e. stance phase) of running. In rearfoot strikers, there is an initial impact peak (i.e. passive peak) from ground reaction force (GRF) that is not seen in midfoot and forefoot striking runners. However, there seems to be little evidence to suggest that this impact peak is a cause of running injuries.
Contrary to what you state, there seems to be little evidence to suggest that "midfoot or forefoot striking effectively shortens the lever arm involved in propulsion." The gastrocnemius and soleus are used by all runners, regardless of whether they are rearfoot, midfoot or forefoot strikers, to propel themselves off the forefoot into the double-float phase of running so no change in lever arm during propulsion occurs. Rather, the big differences between these different foot-striking runners is in how they all absorb ground reaction force caused by the body decelerating the center of mass of the body falling downward during the first half of the support phase of running.

73-year-old "Babe" star James Cromwell got off easy after his disorderly conduct arrest last month ... when he burst into a UW-Madison board meeting, protesting cat torture at the university.
Cromwell's case was called today in Wisconsin where he pled no contest to a low level charge of disorderly conduct. His punishment is a measly $100 fine, which he paid on the spot.
As we reported, Cromwell was busted along with a PETA spokesperson after they barged into the board meeting, claiming the school's labs tortured cats in the name of science. Cromwell waved a sign with a photo of an abused cat, and shouted, "This is not science! This is cruel!"
A rep for the D.A. tells us, prosecutors went easy because the duration of yelling wasn't particularly long, he cooperated with law enforcement, no one in the room was really disturbed by the protest, and he had no criminal history.
And it WAS kinda funny.
It was only a cat.
So we can torture cats but not our enemy, thats fkn stupid
Harvey is gay
It wasn't funny .. He was standing for what he believed in and thought was right. Kudos to him!!
I agree they shouldn't be torturing cats like that in the name of science. Good for him!
That'll do, lib.....that'll do.
I don't know who wrote the copy for this story, but NONE of this is "funny"..And I'm saddened to see TMZ be amused by cruelty to animals.
Nice to see he is standing up for animal cruelty. I'm with ya James! You were good in AHS!!!!
Ofcourse the disgusting tmz would find that funny.. Thats why you are pathetic and every writer is childish.
love, Love, LOVE HIM!!!!
All critters should be respected and treated with dignity in my opinion. Even the yucky ones.
Well Harv if someone is ever torturing you we'll all laugh at the protesters trying to help you. You'll find that kinda funny, won't you?
Bless him for doing the right thing for animals.
What exactly was "funny" about this?
Good. If any "celeb" deserves to get a slap on the wrist its this guy. He was protesting cruelty to animals. Thats not illegal and lets hope he brought awareness to whats happening to those poor cats.
Hell-OO Wisconsin!
