Some of you demanded to know what was going on with the elusive chef Peter Chang ever since we posted this weekend's event notification of his new restaurant venture, Peter Chang's. Currently working out the kinks at the new digs, Chang and company are finally slated to open his namesake eatery off Powers Ferry Road. But some of you are skeptical about this restaurant actually being his place (at least for the long term), and naturally I don't blame you.
Chef Chang is a slippery sucker isn't he? Several years ago he landed at Marietta's Tasty China's kitchen and seduced your senses like Jake Ryan did to Samantha Baker's libido in Sixteen Candles. But then in the morning, chef Chang was gone; he didn't even leave a note on the bedside table. Wandering habits persisted and Chang-smitten towns from Virginia to Tennessee were left in a fury like scorned lovers. His propensity to swoop in, swoon over legions of devotees and then leave town is well known.
Earlier this year, writer Calvin Trillin wrote a personal opus to Chef Chang in The New Yorker. So did Todd Kliman in The Oxford American. Their themes were part self-reflection on their Deadhead-like devotion on following Chang around the country, and part obsession towards Chang's craft — specifically how his cooking was spellbindingly quixotic to the authors. And apparently, it's not that far off of a description for residents in and around metro Atlanta who continue to wax religiously about Chang via Twitter, Facebook, blogs and local food forums.
That is the power of Peter Chang. Even when we were certain he wasn't in Atlanta last year, Creative Loafing still awarded his dust trail four out of five stars. Chang was gone, but his cooking techniques and recipes that were being executed by trained cooks were still that good to all of us.
For now he's back here in metro Atlanta, and opening his namesake restaurant this weekend. I was at the new location last night. I observed fresh pavement in the restaurant's parking lot, and did a quick walkabout in his new kitchen. To the hundreds or maybe thousands of scorned mistresses of his gastronomic prowess, Chang has not left the building.
I sat down with Peter Chang at his soon-to-be-open restaurant, and with Emily Head – the restaurant's manager who acted as our translator. I wanted to see if I could get to the bottom of his enigmatic habits and long term plans. Chef Chang in person is more meek in stature than he is grandiose but make no mistake, he is proud of what he has accomplished.
During the interview, I pressed in some areas but pulled back in others. I asked specific questions regarding rumored involvement in a Charlottesville, Virginia restaurant. But ultimately, I let Chang be Chang (whoever he is). After all, he is a person entitled to privacy just like any of us.
Otherwise, Merry Christmas my fellow Changians.
Q: How did you get into cooking? Did you always want to do it?
A: When I graduated from high school, I went to cooking school in Wuhan, Hubei, where I am from. Around then (1981), there were only two top level cooking schools. After my training, I knew I wanted to be a top level chef. My father is a doctor – a Chinese traditional doctor where the medicine is a bit different from conventional medicine. In Chinese words, "cook" and "doctor" combine to make people's bodies healthy. And that's why I decided to go to cooking school – to become a top chef. After graduating from the cooking school, I moved all over to study regional cooking styles. Sichuan province in the southwest, Guangdong in the south, Shanghai to the east, and north in Beijing. I feel that to be a good chef, I had to travel a lot – to observe the best stuff from the local regions. China is big. Different places have different food.
Q: So what brought you to America?
A: A job with the Chinese embassy in Washington D.C. (in 2001). I took all kinds of tests to get the job. It was a big deal for Chinese people to come to America and serve the embassy. I threw national parties for Chinese presidents, American presidents and high level officers from all over the world.
Q: Are your long term intentions to stay here in Georgia?
A: The long term goal for me here is to open three more restaurants in metro Atlanta.
Q: So what is it about Atlanta that makes you want to settle down for now?
A: A bigger restaurant can show better chef skills. I think that good Chinese restaurants around the Atlanta area are lacking. I want to have several festivals for Chinese food. If I have a small restaurant, I couldn't do it. If I have a big one, it can be a big party and I can invite everybody. I already have several festivals in mind and what the theme/food will be. One festival is called Yunnan (after a province in China, directly south of Sichuan) and another, Sānxiá (Three Gorges in Hubei province), an area near Yangtze River known for delicious snacks and appetizers. I hope to throw these types of parties/festivals once every three or four months.
Q: What are your menu plans for this Grand Opening party this Saturday, December 18?
A: Seventy percent of the dishes will be from the new menu. The remaining I will decide the day of, and they will be off the menu.
Q: How much day to day involvement will you have here? At Tasty China?
A: I will be here full time, but I will always give technical support to Tasty China.
Q: What is your involvement with this restaurant in Charlottesville, Virginia that is circulating around the internet?
A: I will open a new restaurant in Charlottesville with a friend. It's not the restaurant from your picture (Asian buffet from previous link) but another place. I was at that location (points to the picture from the print out I brought with me) a year ago. I will not physically be in Charlottesville, but consult student chefs there and impart techniques to them. I will go there several times a year to consult.
Q: Do you have a financial or business relationship with this Charlottesville venture?
A: I have some financial involvement. I will not be putting money into it but only lending technical support.
Q: Is the name of this place going to be Peter Chang's China Grill or just China Grill? And when is it opening?
A: The name hasn't been decided. We are shooting for the end of January, beginning of February – the Chinese Spring festival.
Q: Is your family here?
A: My wife is here, but my daughter, 22, is studying in England.
Q: So it sounds like you want to stay in the Atlanta area for a while at least?
A: I decided to stay here.
And with those last words, chef Chang smiles reassuringly from ear to ear and chuckles..
Peter Chang's, Regularly open for business starting Sunday, December 19. 11 a.m.-10 p.m Mondays-Sundays (these hours are tentative and are subject to change), 6450 Powers Ferry Road, Sandy Springs, 678-766-8765.

I love good, authentic Chinese food. I wasn't that impressed with Tasty China, however. It isn't bad, it is acceptable for sure, but it isn't worth driving from Midtown. There are places on Buford Hwy (Man Chun Hong, for instance) that are far superior to Tasty China. I'll be interested in trying this new venture from Chang, I hope it won't be all hype and no substance.

I have not eaten at a Chinese Food Restaurant in Atlanta or surrounding areas that are any good. Most make bland rice with missing ingredients like sprouts and scallions. The sauces…mostly made from what tastes like tangy ketchup. Alot of dishes are purely American ( I get it) however these restaurants do not compare to what you get in a "Chinatown" area. For instance, in my travels to NY, Boston and San Fransisco….the food is out of this world. In Atlanta, its weird overly sweet and missing garlic, ginger and 5 spice.
What really is strange is that the only Chinese Restaurant that I have tried that comes close to NY, Boston and San Fran…is PF CHANGS in Buford. (Mall of GA)
If anyone has eaten Chinese in the mentioned cities and has eaten in and around ATL and found food that matches these areas…please let me know.
I hope Chef Changs place is more like out of town than in an around ATL.
December 15th, 2010
11:02 am
Thanks for the clarification, Gene.
Sorry, Gregory – but if your idea of good Chinese food is PF Chang's, you're going to be sorely disappointed in Peter Chang's cooking (i.e., don't confuse Peter Chang with PF Chang). I can tell you that Atlanta has some of the best Chinese food you will find this side of San Francisco. Try looking a bit harder.
I am curious about the rice with "missing ingredients". Steamed white rice, if it's quality rice, should never be "bland" – the sprouts & scallions thing I don't think I understand… You should note that not every "Chinese" dish includes garlic, ginger and 5-spice, but I would like to know where you're eating that the sauces taste like ketchup – mall food courts?
December 15th, 2010
11:44 am
Gregory, don't worry, it isn't Americanized Chinese (although there are some listed on the menu as "American").
Hope he has the dry-fried mushrooms.
December 15th, 2010
12:40 pm
I am so there next week. can' f-ing wait!!
December 15th, 2010
12:55 pm
White rice is bland. I am talking about fried rice. In places like Boston, NY and San Fran…I've noticed that the Fried Rice has scallions and bean sprouts along with green onions, a little egg and meat or shrimp.
Also, I was not suggesting that everything should have garlic, 5 spice or ginger..however, Orange Chicken with ketchup sweet ketchup sauce?
And no ….this is not what I've gotten from a mall.(ie Panda Express).this is restaurant food. (ie Green Tea, Lins Bistro, Golden Palace Lawrenceville or Lavender in Snellville)
BuHi…my point about PF Chang..(and yes part of the PF initials is an American guy if I am not mistaken) is that so call Chinese Restaurants run by Asians (again where I have eaten) make food that is not better than this chain restaurant (most times worse), which is sad. It seems many use the same ingredients and pass it off as Chinese Food.
BuHi…please let me know the name of some of the places that you conisder really good. I am dying to find that one good place that is not a chain.
December 15th, 2010

And this looks like very good news for the Atlanta dining scene.

This is similar to when I turned on the tellie hoping to see the Chinese wunderkid and Schalke #7, Hao Junmin. #7 was playing up top, getting about the pitch and giving the backline fits. Only later did I realize Hao had given up the #7 kit to that muppet Raul. Hao's a tough one to pin down too!
December 15th, 2010
2:24 pm
The missing ingredient that is found at Peter Chang's? Umami seasoning.
Super Frankie, I actually understood what you wrote.
December 15th, 2010
2:36 pm
Gregory, you should try The Real Chow Baby. It's authentic Mongolian BBQ. Local celeb chefs created signature dishes, so it must be good! Whatever you do, do not go to Ming's, Chef Liu's, Northern China Eatery, China Delight, Happy Valley, Oriental Pearl, BoBo Garden, Cafe 101 or Royal China. They don't put bean sprouts in their fried rice. But I heard Chin Chin's does a bang up job on their's. Happy eating!

4:26 pm
I had to read this after the third or fourth retweet. Glad I did. Kudos are deserved here. Hard to compete with the likes of the New Yorker.
Atlanta's Chinatown Food Court is pretty good. So is the Chinese menu at Canton Cooks. My brother-in-law lives in San Francisco, my sister-in-law in San Jose, so I've been to the SF Chinatown plenty. There is good Chinese in this city. Sorry if you don't agree. Not easy to find? Probably. Here? yes.

Gene -
A huge "thank you" for this article. I'm very impressed that you listened to the readers and quickly responded with not just an article but an interview with the man himself. And the questions you asked and answers you got really cleared things up for me. I'm really liking this "review team" concept which gets us, the readers, more focused coverage than any one reviewer would have time to provide.
As soon as Mr. Chang opens his new place, I'm there, and I expect I'll show up at the special dinners too.
Gregory – dude – is your last name "Troll?" PF Changs? I've lived or spent extensive time in all the other cities you mention. For you to mention PF Changs in the same breath with the best Asian restaurants in those cities is absurd, and for you to imply that PF Changs is the best Asian food you've had in Atlanta is equally absurd. I've got to think you are just having some fun at others' expense.
December 16th, 2010

Gregory, I lived in both NYC and Boston most of my life and fried rice was always a served seperate. With a meal came white steamed rice only. I began eating Sichan food back in the 1970's at a place called Shicuan Taste in Chatham Sq in ny, Cantones at Hong Fat in chinatown etc. In Boston the old Golden Gate and some of the others in Bostons Chinatown. I have some credentials I believe in eating. Fried rice was never served with a meal until I moved to ATL
December 16th, 2010
9:50 am
By the way John very good interview with Mr. Chang. We began to eat theere several months ago and feel that we lost a couple of years searching for very good food. I do enjoy the Fried dry eggplant and most of the other dishes there mthat we've tried. I ate PF Changs once and it was no better than that panda place but more expensive. I have a gift card from there so I will go back. Good Luck Mr. Chang on your new restaurant. I understand the restaurant business somewhat as my Father dated a woman who opened several Italian restaurants in Brooklyn years ago and sell them after a year or so, when they became popular. It's hard work, especially to keep the quality.
December 16th, 2010
5:56 pm
I am actually very serious. Not a troll. Most Chinese food that I have eaten at so called "Asian" restaurants is terrible. I think its because many combine, Thai, Japanese and Chinese.
As for fried rice…you can order chinese fried rice with dinner. I am not sure what you are talking about Alan. Yes, order beef and broccoli and white rice comes with it. Most places I've eaten, the Fried Rice is horrible.
My father owned a garment business in Downtown Boston's Chinatown. Most of the people who worked for him were Chinese. Therefore, when I worked for him as a teenager his employees always made me food right from their kitchen. I think I can judge really good Chinese Food from the farce food made in and around Atlanta. Dynasty – Downtown, The old out of business Weylu's- Saugus,MA and Chinatown in Canton, MA are some of the best.
Again…for me to say that PF CHANGS is the best to me IS TERRIBLE!!!
I am just trying to find out where the best Chinese Food is served as I have not found any that is good.
I've recently read about Chinatown in Chamblee. Hopefully we can find some good Chinese Food there.
Other than Chef Changs…were are some other good places?
December 16th, 2010
11:36 pm
Gregory, you simply haven't looked very hard. If all you do is look for the "American" Chinese places, then you're going to get the overly-sweet swill. Try Man Chun Hong on Buford Hwy, or the new Top Chef stall in the food court at Great Wall Supermarket in Duluth (yes, in a supermarket, the former chef from Cafe 101 is now cooking there). The aforementioned food court at the Chinatown Mall in Chamblee is also an excellent source of authentic food.
December 16th, 2010
11:39 pm
RK: at Tasty China I was simply disappointed that the food was so "one note". Yes, it certainly has the heat, but there just isn't any depth to the flavors. In contrast, Man Chun Hong's food not only has the heat but that heat carries flavors that really delight. The Hot and Numbing Beef is sublime. Be sure to ask that the food is prepared "normal" and not toned-down, because they assume us Caucasians can't handle the real thing.

Man Chun Hong is one of my favorite restaurants, but I wouldn't go there if I were you because you proclaim you don't like any cross-ethnicity stuff… Man Chun Hong has Korean owners (I believe) so a lot of their dishes are Korean influenced. Still, Buford Hwy is a goldmine for Chinese restaurants (and Korean, Vietnamese, etc), and if you say Atlanta has no good Chinese without even going to CHINATOWN that's a shame. You wouldn't judge San Fran's Chinese without going to their Chinatown..?

The Medical College of Wisconsin Physics Residency Program is a three-year program integrating both the clinical and research aspects of medical physics. Throughout the training program, the resident is expected to attend didactic lectures, special training sessions, conferences, and observations of routine clinical physics activities including machine QA, treatment planning, IMRT QA, and special procedures. After the first semester, which is typically a research semester, the resident will participate directly in clinical activities through a series of rotations in machine QA, treatment planning, IMRT delivery QA, special procedures, and brachytherapy. The resident works closely with the physics faculty, staff, and dosimetrists to observe and participate in the following:
Also during the three-year period, the physics resident will receive didactic instruction in the following areas:
Clinical rotations are the core elements of residency training. Each rotation contains particular training essentials that include independent-study materials. The training essentials may or may not include a check-off list of mastered tasks, depending on the rotation. Specific comprehension essentials were developed for each rotation to ensure that the resident understands the background and details involving the rotation. The resident will meet monthly with the Associate Program Director to assess rotation progress. Mandatory readings are assigned for each rotation along with additional suggested readings to prepare residents for the comprehensions and training essentials.
In addition to four semesters of clinical rotations, the resident is expected to complete two semesters of research. The resident is expected to present the research on the departmental level as well as submit the research for presentation and publication on a national level.

MEDICINE HAT, AB - The Canadian Cancer Society was the winner last night when the Medicine Hat Tigers downed the visiting Regina Pats 5-4.
Tigers fans gave generously to the Canadian Cancer Society through the team's annual 'Stick It To Breast Cancer' campaign. A total of $6,500.42 was raised in the silent auction for specially wrapped pink sticks which the players used last night in warm up and the first period of last night's game. A raffle draw was also conducted for five team autographed pink sticks, a signed team jersey and a special team autographed pink Tigers jersey.
Hunter Shinkaruk's stick brought the highest total of the evening at $525.00 followed by Tigers' rookie forward Chad Labelle at $400.00 and local Medicine Hat product Curtis Valk at $350.00.
A total of 30 Easton sticks were donated by the Medicine Hat Tigers to the Canadian Cancer Society to conduct the silent auction.
"Everyone knows someone in their family or close friends that have been affected by cancer," said Tigers' senior director, marketing and public relations Dave Andjelic. "It is a terrible disease and we are very fortunate to be able to help the Canadian Cancer Society in their quest to raise funds to help find a cure."
"We would like to thank our fans for once again showing the tremendous generosity Medicine Hat is know for in supporting the many charities our team tries to help each year," said Andjelic.
The Tigers would like to thank Meyers, Norris, Penny LLP for their sponsorship of 'Stick It To Breast Cancer' and their many volunteers that attending the game to help raise money for this very worthy cause.

WEST GREENWICH – Even as the No. 1 seed in the Division III girls soccer playoffs, Exeter-West Greenwich coach Kevin Fraser was worried.
Thanks to Monday's storm that postponed the first round to Tuesday, Knights hadn't played in 10 days and even in those final two games – a tie with Pilgrim on Oct. 28 and a win over Westerly on Oct. 29 – the team didn't have its best showing.
After being pushed back a day thanks to rainouts earlier in the week, four local girls soccer teams will play with a berth to the finals on the line today.
In Division I, South Kingstown plays East Greenwich at East Greenwich High School at 6 p.m. EGHS was chosen as the site for the semifinals before the season started.
In Division II, Exeter-West Greenwich plays Ponaganset at Cranston Stadium at 6 p.m.
In Division III, Narragansett plays Burrillville at 4 p.m. at Gaudet Middle School in Middletown.
Four area teams played in playoff games Wednesday, and things didn't go great for three of them.
In boys soccer, South Kingstown did all it could to try and stop undefeated Barrington, but the Rebels fell in a tough game, 2-1. In the nightcap, North Kingstown played No. 2-seed Shea and lost, 3-0.
In girls volleyball, two local teams met in the Division II semifinal.
While neither team played especially well, Exeter-West Greenwich's powerful serving and play at the net allowed the Knights to top West Warwick, 27-25, 23-25, 25-17, 25-14, advancing to their first title game since 1999.
By PAUL J. SPETRINI
KINGSTON—The Coventry girls volleyball team was forced to sit and wait in the stands at URI's Keaney Gymnasium for well over an hour Tuesday night as Prout and Mount St. Charles battled back and forth in an epic, five-game showdown that the Crusaders ultimately won 21-25, 25-15, 20-25, 25-11, 19-17 to earn a spot in the Division I Finals.
It's safe to say the Oakers didn't mind, however, as what happened when they finally hit the floor was a moment eight years in the making.
Three games highlight Wednesday's playoff games.
The South Kingstown and North Kingstown boys soccer teams both play for a chance to reach the state final tonight.
The Rebels will play No. 1-seeded Barrington at Cranston Stadium at 6 p.m. while the Skippers play Shea immediately after.
In girls volleyball, West Warwick plays Exeter-West Greenwich. The Wizards are trying to reach their first final since 2008, while the Knights are looking for their first finals appearance since winning the Division II title in 1999.
Tuesday was packed with playoff action for a slew of local teams.
In volleyball, the Prout and Coventry girls volleyball teams advanced to Saturday's Division I final. The Crusaders earned a chance to defend their state title after a dramatic 21-25, 25-15, 20-25, 25-11, 19-17 win over Mount St. Charles. Coventry didn't need as much time, ending North Kingstown's season with a 25-23, 25-18, 25-15 win.
Prout and Coventry meet in the Division I finals Saturday at 1 p.m. at URI's Keaney Gymnasium.
The Prout girls volleyball team is heading back to the Division I State Championship game but it sure wasn't easy.
Despite being down a game twice and, on despite being down to match point five times, the Crusaders found a way to win the points that mattered, holding off Mount St. Charles 21-25, 25-15, 20-25, 25-11, 19-17 to advance to Saturday's D-I title game against either Coventry or North Kingstown (check back on this site later for an update on that game).

Police say 19-year-old Ravon Lynette Spencer ran into traffic in the southbound lanes of I-75 just north of Collingwood Boulevard around 1 p.m. Tuesday.

Spencer was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Police say she was alert and talking while being transported.
The southbound lanes of I-75 were closed for about 30 minutes while police investigated the incident.

Note: This policy does not apply to electronic and print news media, which are handled by separate protocol by the Public Affairs and Communications Office and are generally welcome on campus.
Filming and photography fees will be determined by the Office of Conferences and Events in accordance with the schedule that appears below. Additional fees for College services requested or required in connection with filming or photography activities, such as police, grounds restoration, traffic control, parking, and any other College services rendered, shall also be charged to the user.
Requests for filming and photography permissions should be made to Public Affairs and Communications (503-768-7970).

Dec 6, 2012A new standard for the genre. With a huge world full of surprises you could define it as the Skyrim of action games.
Nov 21, 2012Far Cry 3 is important for the same reason as Far Cry 2. It's a shooter that considers shooters thoughtfully, both in the way they're designed and the way we play them, and then asks us to do the same.
Nov 21, 2012Far Cry 3 is an exceptional FPS with fun mechanics and excellent characterization. Unfortunately it wastes a fair number of opportunities offered by its huge open-world background. Plus, the secondary activities are not as fun as they could have been, and the island is too extensive to be interesting in the long run. Anyway, this game has surprised us.
Dec 1, 2012Far Cry 3 is an excellent game, marred mainly by some irritating design elements and an inconsistent story that often defaults to generic "tribal" cliches to make an impact.
Nov 28, 2012The action is explosive, the direction of the story sequences is intense at times, but still I can't really feel at home on these islands. Far Cry 3 is the ultimate open sandbox: The player can do what he wants, where he wants it, when he wants it. But the credibility of the world suffers – and with it my motivation.

May 19, 2013Wow, I never played a game like this before. It is a very great game, and weapons are nice.
The story was interesting, and the crafting system is cool! Graphics is decent, and it is fun to takedown and use various guns.
The only problem I had was with the saving system, but except that, great game!… Expand
Dec 4, 2012An amazing game, featuring stunning visuals and gameplay..
The combat system allows you to play the game your own way, whether it be like rambo or hitman, or a combination of both himbon! and many other play styles..
The story could be strong, but its easily over looked when there is so much to do and explore..
This has quickly become one of my top 5 favorite games of all time, I would rank it up there with the GTA Series, Elderscrolls, dark souls and halflife..
The co-op adds many more ours of fun and a social immersion into the tropical island paradise/hell..
Get this game you won't regret it, definitely worth the $70!… Expand
Mar 26, 2013This game is incredibly immersive. The possibilities, gameplay wise, are endless. The story is driven and well-written. The voice acting is of a high quality. Exploring the islands is enjoyable and rewarding. Gun-play is solid and responsive. The overall experience is fantastic. When you spend money on a game you want to get value for money. Far Cry 3 certainly delivers.… Expand
Apr 26, 2013Really solid game until about half way through when the move happens to the southern island, and at that point the story loses steam. Quite a lot of memorable moments though and one of the best performances by a 'bad guy' in gaming that I can recall.… Expand
Jan 6, 2013For me this is game of the year for sure. After disappointing games like Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 3 i did not expected much from Far Cry 3. The bigger surprise was when i started playing this game. Really great sand box experience with great combat system and many side quests. Single player got also really interesting story with great characters and pretty good endings (both of em). And that´s not all, there is also a multiplayer with Co-op.… Expand
Jul 31, 2013Maybe it is because I liked Far Cry 2 so much. No maps showing everything, you had to look and listen to survive. Far Cry 3 is the opposite maps show everything. Then they added stupid mini missions.
The only way to get improvements is killing deer pigs, and dogs. Sick...
After over 200 games first one I will not finish..… Expand

Despite its obscure back-alley location and a wilful lack of external signage, Corridor is arguably Salford's finest gin-mill. Inside, low lights, leather booths and sparse decor leave plenty of room to admire the main event: an expertly put-together cocktail list that has, quite rightly, won several industry awards.
A cocktail menu boasting some 40-plus varieties, fine spirits that include Seagram's gin and Luksusowa vodka, and a laid-back feel make this an after-hours drinking den that's worth setting your sat-nav for.

London Marathon? Done My official time was 4:31:35, and I couldn't be happier. Everything went smoothly, and I am feeling very pleased with myself. There's no damage done, my knees were a bit sore last night but today everything feels good.
The Marathon is an amazing high. I had my name on my vest and it really felt on the day like the whole of London was chanting my name. The spectators are incredible and the vibe from the crowds just lifts you so much. The other runners are all in great spirits and there's tonnes of banter en route. It really was a tremendously emotional day.
Once I get them, I will upload the official pics. My friends came out to watch me run and they took some incredible photos, which I look forward to sharing with you too.
I will do this again. Next time, the target will be under 4 hours. I may even do a fall marathon this year.
You can see my race stats here on garmin connect. As you can see from the split times apart from pee stops and chatting with my supporters I pretty much nailed my pace (10 min/mile).
In terms of the blow by blow I will say this: the first 15 miles went in a flash, the crowd and the runners were all in high spirits and the miles just whizzed by. I literally ran the first 15 miles with a gigantic, idiotic grin on my face.
Mile 6 was the Cutty Sark, the first thing I looked forward to. Next milestone was around mile 10 when we crossed Tower Bridge. That was truly amazing because the ROAR of the crowd was just deafening and the crowd chanted my name all the way across
The next milestone was mile 14 where my awesome friends were waiting with cheers of encouragement, supplies, cameras to take pictures and (omg awesome) a cold, wet towel to wipe my face with. Mile 14 was Narrow street and my absolute favourite part of the marathon. Another area where the crowd just roared, and there were so many people watching, dancing, chanting, waving, or offering goodies (brownies, bananas, oranges, sweets, you name it!)
Next milestone was Canary Wharf, at 19/20 miles which was packed and really great too. Awesome crowds, and the drums! Amazing drums which really lifted spirits in a tricky bit of the race (everything starts to hurt from mile 18).
Then, mile 21 is back through Limehouse on Commercial road and I saw my friends again for a quick chat and another cold towel-down. At this point I was told about our dinner reservation at Gaucho Grill that night which basically carried me the rest of the way to the finish I was so happy to see my friends at this point that I probably looked like I'd already won the race Limehouse was so great – even down by the station the crowds were thick and chanting and yelling. Everybody was shouting my name and I was getting really emotional.
From mile 21, things got really tough. Everything hurt and the last 5 miles felt very, very far. Thames street was miserable for me. A real head down, gritted teeth mile… Luckily the crowds along Embankment and the Mall really lift you and suddenly you are nearly finished and picking up speed again. I managed not to stop running all race but around mile 20 a lot of runners start walking – this actually gave me a boost as I started to pass a lot of people, happy to have paced myself well.
At the finish, the feeling is indescribable. So tired, but so happy, relieved, proud, emotional… You get your medal and a goodie bag. I devoured every source of food in that goodie bag in about 3 minutes flat. Then my friends came and met me with champagne and more goodies and we hung out in whitehall drinking from the bottle
Back home, Colm showed off his brilliant pictures of the day to music while we drank Bolly 2000 – which was just awesome Then off to dinner at Gaucho where I devoured a 400g Fillet and whatever sides were in sight ! What an amazing, amazing day
I was thinking earlier today, that if someone told me a year ago I would run the marathon in 4 and a half hours this year (or at all), I would have laughed right in their face. Just goes to show you…
You can do anything, if you set your mind to it.
Isn't that just awesome to know?

The following list provides a brief description of several common eye disorders. Consult your doctor or an ophthalmologist or optometrist for more information.
Age-related macular degeneration. The breaking down, or degeneration, of the macula area of the retina of the eye.
Amblyopia. A reduction or dimming of vision in an eye that appears to be normal.
Astigmatism. A condition in which an abnormal curvature of the cornea can cause two focal points to fall in two different locations, making objects up close and at a distance appear blurry.
Blepharitis. An inflammation of the edges of the eyelids involving hair follicles and glands that open onto the surface.
Cataract. A condition in which the lens of the eye becomes dense or opaque and does not properly transmit light.
Chalazion. A small bump that develops on the upper or lower eyelid. It is caused by inflamed meibomian glands that produce the oil in tears.
Conjunctivitis. Sometimes called pink eye, this is an inflammation of the blood vessels in the conjunctiva, the membrane that covers the sclera and inside of the eyelids. Conjunctivitis may be caused by bacteria or viruses, making it very contagious.
Diabetic retinopathy. A disorder of the retina resulting from changes in the eye blood vessels and found in some people who have diabetes.
Dry eye. This occurs when there is not enough moisture in the eye, causing it to feel dry, hot, sandy, and gritty. Dry eye may be caused by low humidity, smoke, aging, certain diseases, and certain medications (for example, antihistamines or decongestants).
Floaters. These appear as spots, dots, or lines and affect or interrupt vision. Floaters are usually caused by bits of debris in the vitreus humor.
Glaucoma. A disease that impairs the optic nerve when fluid and pressure build up in the eye and damage the optic nerve.
Hyperopia (also called farsightedness). This means a person has trouble seeing clearly up close.
Iritis. An inflammation of the iris of the eye.
(also called nearsightedness). This means a person has trouble seeing clearly at a distance.
Presbyopia. Another type of farsightedness and is caused when the center of the eye lens hardens making it unable to accommodate near vision.
Retina detachment. The separation of the retina from the back of the eye.
Retinitis pigmentosa. The name given to a group of hereditary eye disorders, all of which involve the eye's retina, the light-sensitive nerve layer that lines the back of the eye, and all of which cause a gradual, yet progressive, loss or reduction in visual ability.
Strabismus (also called
crossed eyes)
Stye. A noncontagious, bacterial infection of one of the sebaceous glands of the eyelid. A stye looks like a small, red bump either on the eyelid or on the edge of the eyelid.
Uveitis. A condition that occurs in the uvea, or the middle coat of the eye. Because the uvea contains the blood vessels that supply nutrients to the eye, any form of uveitis may be serious and may be a symptom for other serious conditions.

Work: 309-298-1379
The overarching goal of the current research in our laboratory is the development and optimization of various chemo selective oxidation procedures using water- soluble hypervalent iodine reagents. Underlying green chemistry themes such as the use of benign oxidants, the use of aqueous solvent mixtures as reaction media and the feasibility of carrying out the synthetically useful oxidative transformations under catalytic conditions in presence of environmentally friendly co-oxidants are highlights and worthwhile aspects of the ongoing projects. We also focus on the mechanistic aspects of these chemo selective oxidative transformations. A careful evaluation of the mechanism of oxidation of alcohols carried out using water-soluble hypervalent iodine reagents in different solvents have allowed us to map out a series of feasible and predictable chemo selective oxidations from knowledge of the C-H bond dissociation energies of the bond involved in the oxidation step. Methodologies for chemo selective oxidation of a select methyl group on heterocyclic rings, selective introduction of -unsaturation in ketones over aldehydes, introduction of -unsaturation with predictable regio chemistry in unsymmetrical ketones, potential and possible selective oxidation of aliphatic aldehydes over aromatic aldehydes are a few of the different selective oxidation methods currently under investigation.
The specific goals, nature of the experiments, the theoretical basis for the observed selectivity, and synthetic targets for the different projects are both intellectually and practically suitable for the proper training of undergraduate and MS students at Western Illinois University. We have published pedagogically relevant aspects of the ongoing research program in our laboratory as classroom activities and as useful experiments in the Journal of Chemical Education. In addition to providing undergraduate with chemical research experience our lab also takes pride in training local high school students in the art of research and some of these students have placed well at national science fair competitions including Siemens Competition, Intel Science Talent Search and Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).

Make a dash for Sprint
And stop fixating on Research In Motion, Nokia and Yahoo.
Why do people spend so much time talking about Research In Motion (RIMM), Nokia (NOK) and Yahoo (YHOO)? Why?
And why don't they spend more time talking about Sprint (S)?
I have no idea how the turn will go at Yahoo. I do know that it will not be a quarter or two turn. Maybe three? Perhaps four. The company has no mobile, social or cloud strategy. Until it does, I think you've got some real flat-lined time on your hands.
Research In Motion? That's only about takeover. You have 70 million subscribers and a good keyboard, but it is a closed ecosystem, so you are buying a list and some patents and an enterprise services business. That list is way too expensive for almost all companies, although the keyboard patents have real value and we have rumors right now that IBM (IBM) wants the enterprise service business. One would have to hope that the enterprise services business, like the patents, is worth so much that this could be a positive situation, like AOL (AOL), and not a negative one, like Kodak.
Still, I would not recommend a stock just on its parts valuation when the fundamentals are horrendous and the spiral down in cash has just begun. That's too dangerous.
Nokia is interesting only because of its low price tag. If it were to do a 10-1 reverse split, no one would touch it.
But Sprint? Here's a company that generates a huge amount of cash flow that needs to raise cash and can now do so, which would dramatically lower its interest charges in a way that is certainly profoundly positive. RIMM and NOK are in vicious cycles down, while Sprint is in a virtuous cycle up.
Many people had doubted whether Sprint could ever recover from the phenomenally terrible Nextel acquisition. The transition out of that technology and into Sprint's was supposed to be too difficult. But CEO Dan Hesse has pulled it off and is keeping far more subscribers than I thought possible.
Of course the stock has run from $2 to almost $5. But that's what is going to happen when you take bankruptcy off the table and you go from horribly unprofitable to cash-flow positive.
Can it keep rallying? I think yes. I would like if the stock were to take a breather here. It seems like too quick a run. But I think it is still worth buying if you recognize that it could trade down to $4 and change on a couple of bad days.
Sprint is for real. Yahoo is wait and see. The others? Nokia may one day turn it around, but it might not ever happen. Research In Motion? You are simply trading around the rumors of a stock that I believe will go lower when it reports.

shorting gold, alcoa, and nyx would have been huge
i think the secret is to ignore most of his picks as some go up and just as many go down.........
but when he touts something as best of year (nyx at 96 now 35) or best dow stock of 2011(alcoa
at 18 now at 9), or gold as a must buy at 1900 now 1600...............that is the pump and dump and time to short.

This is so true! I always feel like my best ideas happen right before I fall asleep and I forget most of them :S
Just like fun and joy bring on more fun and joy, frazzled freak outs beget more frazzled freak outs. It's just how the universe works. Try creating space in your life for many mini-meditations throughout the day - this always helps me remember what my goal is (and to ignore the stress/negative thoughts that get in the way of it ;) ) With love!!
From zen habits by Leo Babauta
Changing habits, at its core, is simply a process of changing what's normal for you.
This is something I've done myself a gajillion times over the last 7-8 years:
- not smoking became my new normal (lots of pain for a month or so)
- running became normal
- …
I really like the "small & simple" approach mentioned in this article - hard part is deciding which habits to break first ;D !
I think this is a fantastic example of the human potential to learn through play / experimentation - and even more so of the intuitiveness of current mobile UI (so another huge props to #apple & #stevejobs for revolutionizing how humans interact with technology!) Great article!
Brilliant video on how to be a true innovator and leader - in business and life. Learn your "Why" and grow from there. Thank you @SimonSinek for the insights!!
I like to remind myself of this since it seems like I'm constantly bumbling my way towards my goals ;D
Remember, we live in a world of energy and abundance. There is not a finite amount of "success" to be shared, there's more than enough in the universe for everyone. Being able to love, support and encourage everyone to reach their full potential is a universal win-win :)

This quote is really powerful for me… the first time I read it, I realized I had been doing just that for years.
Tony Robbins: Why Some People Take Massive Action & Some Don't
What can I say, I love Tony Robbins. This video rocked my world & gave me a fantastic epiphany to round out 2012 and clear the way for 2013. The first 1-2 mins set up is not the best, so skip to the part that they start the interview for the goodness if you're in a hurry.
I'm a visual learner so the diagram Tony walks you through was really powerful for me (it's on a post-it on my monitor right now actually!). As I think we all know by now, setting goals is easy - following through on them is not. Any way I can trick my brain to higher levels of productivity and dedication is a win for me. Thanks Tony!!
2012 was a very challenging year. Massive highs and equally excessive lows. It felt very much like a trial by fire and I'm so ready (!) for 2013 to sweep all things '12 away. Let it be thought of as a preparatory year: let 2013 be the doorway to a whole new exciting world!
I like the idea that if I just put the energy in, something positive is bound to come my way!

DiNapoli: State pension fund valued at all-time high of $160.4 billionby jmaloni
Press release
Returned 10.38 percent on investments in FY 2013
New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli announced today that the New York State Common Retirement Fund was valued at an estimated $160.4 billion and earned an estimated 10.38 percent rate of return on its investments for the fiscal year ending March 31.
"The New York State Common Retirement Fund has reached a milestone," DiNapoli said. "The fund ended the fiscal year at an estimated $160.4 billion, an all-time high, and it remains well-positioned for growth as the financial markets continue to gain strength. Fiscal year 2014-15 will be the final year that employer contribution rates will reflect the market loss of 2008-09."
Returns for the fund's asset classes were:
- Domestic equities returned 14.48 percent (at 36 percent of the fund's total investments)
- Fixed income returned 4.87 percent (28.2 percent)
- Non-U.S. equities returned 9.47 percent (14.1 percent)
- Private equity returned 11.75 percent (8.6 percent)
- Real estate returned 11.08 percent (6.8 percent)
- Global equities returned 13.88 percent (2.9 percent)
- Absolute return strategies returned 7.95 percent (3.2 percent)
- Opportunistic alternatives returned 7.89 percent (0.2 percent)
The fund is the third-largest public pension fund in the country and remains one of the nation's best-managed and best-funded pension plans. In February, Funston Advisory Services completed an independent review of the fund that found it is well-run, operates with an industry-leading level of transparency and invests effectively on behalf of its members.
The New York State and Local Retirement System provides benefits to more than 1 million state and local government employees, retirees and beneficiaries. Over the past 20 years, 82 percent of the cost of benefits have been funded from investment returns.

"I was so excited to be able to change the color of this design to help meet the theme of the party I was throwing. Paper was excellent quality and love the square design and envelopes that do not require additional postage. Will definitely order from this company again!"
"This is a truly lovely card. The design is beautiful, subtle and charming. I would recommend this card to those seeking a quietly classy invitation."


text: A federal judge in Boston denied James "Whitey" Bulger's request Tuesday to have prosecutors reveal the identities of several confidential informants tied to the pending case against him. Judge Denise J. Casper issued the denial in a 12-page ruling, on the grounds that Bulger failed to show how the information would be relevant to his defense. Casper did, however, order prosecutors to turn over any documents that "support or reflect" Bulger's contention that he was not an FBI informant, "to the extent any such documents exist." Bulger, 83, is slated to stand trial in June on a sweeping federal indictment charging him with 19 murders, among other crimes.

The steering is good but less talkative than the telepathic rack of the previous generation. The buildup of effort through a turn isn't as progressive. The new electric power steering gives more linear assistance, like you're in a simulator. It's a small annoyance in the big picture, because the new Boxster offers very accurate steering feel. The ratio is slightly quicker (16.5:1 compared to 17.1), but it could stand to be quicker still.
Complain all you want – electric power steering is the future. Maybe Porsche will work out the kinks over time. Or maybe we'll just get used to it…
You need to drive the Boxster S to realize its greatest skill is making you feel like a pro. Because where a 997 GT3 might be capable of a fast lap time, your lap will probably be way off its ideal time. Yet in the Boxster, you're a pro. No matter how hard you try, it's not going to understeer.
Starting with the physics – its weight balance is 46/54% and the front track is within 0.5" of the rear. Add systems like torque vectoring and brake force distribution so that the car rotates like it's on castors.
The brakes – did we talk about the brakes? It's a Porsche, and if that's not enough, you can now get PCCBs onboard. That said, we felt no brake fade after a day lapping Barber Motorsports Park.
The Boxster S will set you back $60900 plus $950 to get it stateside. That's before you tack on the options like the PDK transmission at $3200, for example. It isn't cheap, but you're getting a Porsche convertible that looks great and performs fantastically. What's not to like?
Porsche has been hard at work showing the New Boxster around the world. So when the Porsche Boxster Grand Tour passed through my locale, it gave me the opportunity to drive the Boxster well before it was released to dealerships.
At the event, Porsche reps gave a comprehensive one-hour technical review, followed by a test drive on city, country and highway environs, finishing with a couple of runs on an autocross. If this doesn't get folks excited about the new Boxster, nothing will.
I came away extremely impressed, although the Boxster has never interested me in the past. I'm a "911 man" but the new exterior is spectacular, and the interior equally beautiful. The Boxster has grown up but it was behind the wheel that I was truly spellbound.
First off, the seating position and visibility are perfection. On the road, the feedback is superb. Having read reviews condemning the new electro-mechanical steering on the 991, I figured the Boxster might disappoint. Wrong!
You feel all the goodness of the road, while ruts and bumpsteer is filtered out. The steering action and turn-in is excellent too: like a telepathic GT3 RS.
Ride quality is supple yet firm, easily gobbling any surface condition you may experience. This is all the result of increased track, control-arm radius and wheelbase, as well as the optional torque vectoring.
New features like the 9sec roof deployment, start/stop and coasting for improved fuel efficiency round out an amazing new package. Thankfully, the only downside is that the vehicle is larger than before, but perhaps Porsche is making room for a smaller, entry-level model in the future…
