School Papers
I have 2 kids who bring home LARGE quantities of papers from school each night. What used to happen was they would get set on the table with the thought that these might be important. After about a week of pile up I would end up throwing them away and it never failed an important paper was in that pile!Now, on a side counter in my kitchen I have 2 baskets on top of 2 tubs. The kids know to put anything that needs signed or taken care of immediately in the basket. I then sign and return to the basket which they pick up before going to school the next morning. The tubs are fo the artwork or papers I want to keep.
This has greatly reduced he clutter on my table and counters. Plus my kids seem to really like it, too.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – Human trafficking is not just a global problem. It is also wreaking havoc right in our own backyard.
The UofL Women's Center on Wednesday hosted a conference to raise awareness of the sex slave industry and to offer recovery assistance for survivors.
An estimated 10,000 U.S. children are victim to sex slavery every year.
Several guest speakers presented at the conference and explain why residents need to focus on the fight to end the child sex trade.

Once upon a time, I was a television anchor with a closet stuffed full of designer gear. But when I became a mom, my new uniform consisted of cheap blue jeans and disposable t-shirts.
A few years spent in the mother 'hood and I was ready to claw my way out or die trying -- that's how "She's Still Got It" was born. I believe moms can be pretty, stylish, and on trend. Even on a ridiculously meager budget. Even in the car rider pick-up line.
You've still got it, Mama. And I'd love to help you figure out exactly how to show it off.
Have style questions? Email me at email@example.com!

Whether we want to talk about it or not, alcohol is a part of many moms' lives. It's common knowledge that plenty of moms look forward to a glass of wine at the end of the day, or cocktails on a date night, or even shots on a girls night out.
But according to the CDC, more and more moms' drinking is getting out of control. The latest CDC report finds that more moms and older women are binge drinking these days (binge drinking is defined as four or more glasses of alcohol in one evening) -- and some writers from The Stir say they aren't surprised.
We talked about the issue in this week's Moms Matter Google Hangout -- Check out the video, then tell us if you think this is becoming an issue for more moms lately.
If we as a nation are talking too much about MILEY and not enough about SYRIA, I suspect it's because most of us don't really understand what's going on in Syria right now or why -- and we're too embarrassed to admit it.
Fortunately, my friends, there's help!
My Facebook friends all have been sharing one particular blog post on Syria -- and I finally read it over the weekend. It is brilliant. It explains in a nutshell what's happening in Syria and why it MIGHT be a good idea for the United States to intervene.
I know that hideous floral pants are a "thing" this summer, but I didn't realize how bad it had gotten until I opened up the Sunday New York Times and saw literally dozens of women pictured in them last weekend out on the sidewalks of Park Avenue.
According to the NYT, the "most interesting" styles of floral pants were the "pajama-like styles," like these Somedays Lovin Muchacho Floral Pants (Urban Outfitters, $89).
Let's recap. Park Avenue. Cutting-edge fashionistas. Wearing FLORAL PAJAMA PANTS.
Women of New York, I ask you:
But wait! It gets worse!
The group Moms Demand Action just released a new PSA calling for stricter gun control laws. It's provocative and some question whether it goes too far.
The ad shows a mother helping her son get ready for school. First, he puts on a t-shirt with a bull's-eye on it, followed by a hoodie with another bull's-eye in the center. Before sending her son off to school, the boy's mother puts a kevlar vest over him with another bull's-eye on the front.
The message Moms Demand Action is trying to convey is at the end of the PSA. "Is This the New School Uniform? Send Congress a message. Pass gun control today or lose my vote tomorrow."
The PSA will definitely get people's attention -- but is it too much? Watch it yourself and tell us what you think.
Love it or hate it, we can't stop talking about Miley Cyrus's VMA performance.
Personally, I'm still cringing, and my eyes burn every time I even think about it. I have never been more embarrassed for someone than I was for Miley at that moment.
The problem I'm having now is that my 9-year-old daughter is currently obsessed with Hannah Montana -- and she doesn't understand why she's not allowed to download Miley's newest, erm, body of work.
Several writers for The Stir talked with me today about how to explain "the new Miley" to our kids in this week's Moms Matter Google Hangout. Check it out -- and give me your best advice in the comments!

Interval training workouts alternate between high and low intensity during an exercise to improve the benefits of the exercise. Generally speaking, there are two types of interval training: fitness interval training and performance interval training. Fitness interval training is suitable for general fitness and is recommended for beginners and intermediate athletes. Performance interval training workouts are recommended for seasoned athletes. Altering the activities and exercises being performed will also offer different types of interval training workouts.
Most people taking up exercise begin with continuous exercise, such as walking or running at a set pace, but interval training instead alters the pace throughout the workout, such as alternating between running and jogging at two minute intervals. Interval training workouts provide a recovery stage, making the athlete better able to perform during the intense workout phases. As a result, interval training can improve strength, endurance and calorie consumption for a leaner, fitter body.
Fitness interval training workouts aim to raise the heart rate to about 85 percent of the maximum target during the exertion phases. The athlete should be breathing heavy but still able to talk. Activity during the recovery phase should maintain the heart rate at somewhere between 50 percent and 60 percent of the maximum target.
Periods of intensity and recovery are set in advance and will depend on the exercise being performed and the fitness level of the individual. For instance, a beginner just taking up running might run for one minute followed by two minutes of jogging or walking before running for another minute, and so on. With experience, equal periods of exertion and recovery can be used, or the ratio might even be reversed, with two minutes of running followed by a minute of jogging.
Running is often associated with interval training workouts, but other aerobic activities are suitable as well. Interval training can be used with swimming, cycling or even jumping rope. Variations on running, such as sprint drills or stair running can add variety to a workout.
Generally, interval training workouts use intervals of no more than five minutes each. Shorter bursts of activity allow the athlete to work harder during these phases without slowing or faltering as the exercise progresses, thus building strength and burning calories. Longer intervals help to increase endurance, and interval lengths can be selected for the desired effect.
Other methods can be used to increase intensity as well. Added resistance can be just as effective as added speed. For example, running over hilly terrain will provide periods of high and low intensity without the runner altering his or her pace at all.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Im leaving all that out as this is a comment board on a warcraft forum not a historical debating society, my point was confined to dresden as your commend was confined to dresden. not a single person was convicted for dresden or hamburg because the allies won the war not the germans. Victors write the history
my only point was that nobody should adovcate the bombing of civilian targets or " pull a dresden" as you so charming put it, accidents do happen in war but you should try to avoid them. The fact that you are saying this needs to be done in a game that people come here to enjoy and forget about all the nonsense that happens in real war is annoying. I like relaxing in warcraft, not wrestling with deep moral issues, i get enough of that outside the game.
and you dont debate you get the last word there is a difference

Born Free USA Blog
by Adam M Roberts,
Chief Executive Officer
When it comes to animals, Adam Roberts not only talks the talk, but also walks the walk. Since beginning his animal advocacy career in Washington, D.C. in 1991, Adam's ambition, tireless involvement, and profound knowledge of conservation and wildlife issues have cemented him as a go-to voice for protecting animals — and he has elevated Born Free USA to the respected and impactful organization that we know today. Adam's compassionate, informed, and forward-thinking blogs will surely motivate you to join us in our fight to Keep Wildlife in the Wild.
A brighter future for us all
A nation — a world — listened and watched in expectation. The 44th President of the United States of America, the focus of our undivided attention.
President Barack Obama asked for patience. He asked for understanding. He asked for tolerance and compassion. But above all he asked for help.
Our society has been crippled. Our humanity has been found wanting. Our world and everything we hold dear is under threat — and we are the cause.
And yet, just as we must accept the blame for the ills that befall us, so we must accept the challenge to make things better. Better for people in need, the dispossessed, the weak, the vulnerable, the hopeless. And better for the animals, our voiceless fellow passengers, and the environment we share. The animals have no choice. Their future, their fate is bound up in our own. If we fail, we shall take them down with us. If we succeed then there is a brighter future for us all.
President Obama has made it quite clear. We can stand aside or we can engage. He has asked us to join in the healing process, to play our part, to do more not less. It seems to me that we have no choice but, echoing the President's words, we should not step forward reluctantly but we should enthusiastically embrace each opportunity to make the world as it should be, not as it is now.
I know the election is over ... but he gets my vote.
Blogging off.

A spicy, tangy capsicum curry
Sick of eating the same old veggies? Try something different - Mirchi Ka Saalan. This spicy, tangy dish is best eaten with hot Chapatis (Indian flatbread) or Parathas (layered Indian flatbread).
- 4 large capsicums (green bell peppers) or banana peppers
- 1/3 cup dessicated coconut
- 1/3 cup roasted, unsalted peanuts
- 2 tbsps ginger paste
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 3 green chillies (reduce for less heat)
- 5-6 tbsps ghee/ vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- Golf ball-sized lump of tamarind - soak in hot water and extract pulp
- Salt to taste
- Fresh chopped coriander to garnish
- If you are using green bell peppers, quarter them.
- Grind the coconut, peanuts, sesame, green chillies and ginger to a smooth paste in a food processor. Keep aside for later use.
- Shallow-fry the peppers in the ghee/ oil till done. Remove and keep aside on paper towels.
- In the same oil, fry the coconut paste for 15 minutes (on a medium flame). Stir frequently to prevent from sticking to the pan or burning.
- Now add the yogurt and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the tamarind pulp and mix. Season with salt to taste.
- Add enough warm water to make a little gravy and mix well.

Quick Take: Cramer: Gas Could Hit $4.25
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As crude oil has raged higher, are consumers going to start feeling the pinch in their wallets? TheStreet's Jim Cramer tells Joe Deaux that gasoline is starting to play catch-up and could go to $4.25 per gallon.
Cramer was quick to point out that even as pump prices have steadily rose, the U.S. has become a much larger exporter of gasoline.
Cramer said that if the U.S. kept more gasoline in our country, then the increased supply likely would pressure prices lower.
Cramer also said that there is a new buyer in the crude market: fund managers. Cramer said that oil has been a better hedge against inflation and that is was clear from the Delivering Alpha Conference that many believe inflation will rage higher.As more financial institutions have become big buyers of crude, they have helped to create artificially high oil prices. This leaves gasoline prices playing catch-up and in the end results in higher prices for consumers. Cramer concluded by saying gasoline could run as high as $4.25 before topping out and that it would probably cost only $3.50 if it weren't for all of the gas exports. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. .

Ohh, one more:
Early BC:
Paladins with 100% Illumination can heal nonstop, unbuffed, for 5 or more minutes at a time, in sub-kara gear. The healing community in general whines, and Illumination is gutted. Now, every other healing class has received substantial buffs to their efficiency or longevity, while paladins have nearly been shelved in late sunwell.
But, on a good note:
The paladin community is quite possibly the largest source of QQ currently on the forums. While many of the legitimate concerns and suggestions have been given to other classes, improvements to both the protection and retribution trees have allowed those specs to find a home in raiding.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A panel of the House of Representatives took a step on Wednesday toward reviving the alternate engine for the next-generation F-35 fighter plane over the objections of President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who consider the engine wasteful spending.
By voice vote, the Armed Services subcommittee that oversees land and air forces approved legislation that would force the Pentagon to re-open competition if it has to ask Congress for more money so Pratt & Whitney can build the chosen engine. Inevitably in military contracting, the Defense Department has to seek more money for highly sophisticated warplanes.
The provision would apply to Pentagon spending in the next budget year.
When Congress passed a long-delayed 2011 defense budget in April, it contained no money for the extra engine. It was part of the deal worked out by Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, a Republican. The Pentagon recently notified the General Electric/Rolls Royce group that it had terminated its contract and work was stopped a month ago, saving $1 million a day.
Republican Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, the subcommittee chairman, said that was a mistake.
"Many of us believe it was short-sighted for Congress to have failed to fund the F-35 competitive engine program for the remainder of the fiscal year," Bartlett said. "Yes, our country faces major fiscal challenges. However, to continue to fully fund a $1 trillion F-35 aircraft program and not take the opportunity to maintain competition in the $110 billion engine subcomponent of the program is not in .... the long-term best interests of the program and taxpayers."
In February, first-year House Republican freshmen led the charge in voting to cancel $450 million for the alternative engine, going against Boehner and other House leaders. The House vote was 233-198, with many lawmakers arguing that it was a surefire way to fulfill campaign promises they had made to cut spending.

Shirley's response

I think you hit the nail on the head, Deb --- there just has to be something to learn from such heartbreaking, painful betrayals like this ....
I have no doubt that Shirley is (maybe?) using this incident as a means to increase her capacity to love and forgive people who hurt her ... Sachi, on the other hand, does not strike me as a particularly self-reflective soul and ultimately it's she who will be damaged the most by all of this.
I love and respect Shirley's response - she knows her Truth and doesn't waiver, nor does she seek revenge or even attempt to "set the record straight." Wouldn't the media just swoon to get a mother-daughter war publicly raging?! HA! Perhaps that's what Sachi's hoping for?!
Know who I feel REALLY sad for? Sachi's son & daughter. Their mother's book gets pretty graphic and her "poor victim me" stance makes her come across as being a helpless waif. NOT a great legacy to leave for her own children so she's hurting even more than her mom here ... Poor kids
Rats. This whole thing is just too darn sad. But I'm over my anger at Sachi. Now I just feel sorry and sad for her. I will pray for all involved in this ...

Hello, Mr. Vice President: Meb Keflezighi is Ready for More Running—With You!
Written on July 23, 2014 at 5:03 pm , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Macklin Stern, editorial intern
When you're an athlete, there's nothing more golden than getting tips directly from the pros before the big day. As an aspiring runner, I've always admired Meb Keflezighi, not just for his incredible win at the 2014 Boston Marathon a few months ago (he was the first American to win it since 1983), but for the power, drive and passion he brings with him to every competition. And as a silver medalist of the 2004 Olympic Games (and countless other marathon wins), we've got the feeling he probably has some valuable training advice.
So we were pretty stoked when Competitor Group Inc.—a company that sponsors some really awesome sporting events like Run Rock 'N' Roll—announced Meb as the new vice president of running (side note: Can I have that title? It's gotta be an awesome resume booster). Meb will use his passion and advice to help us mere mortal runners by developing training plans for us to follow to a T, popping up on social media with extra tips, and, of course, participating in a bunch of events—he's already rocked (and rolled) at RNR San Diego, and you'll find him lacing up for the Strip at Night, too. Basically, you can train like Meb and run with him, too. Umm, amazing!
So whether you're nervous about competing in your first-ever marathon (like assistant web editor Samantha) or just eager to go out there and eat up the miles, Keflezighi has your back. Stay tuned for details on which races he'll be at, and don't forget to check out CGI's website for updates.

What's Next for Boston Marathon Winner Meb Keflezighi
Written on May 13, 2014 at 12:10 pm , by Lauren Cardarelli
"USA, USA, USA!" It was these patriotic chants echoing through the streets of Massachusetts' capital last month that carried Meb Keflezighi to the end of the Boston Marathon…first. Winning the epic race "was the missing link" and career "exclamation mark" Keflezighi had been working toward for years, not to mention a fairytale finish driving home that Boston Strong spirit.
"I really [ran] with three goals in mind: win, top three or at least personal best," Keflezighi told us during a cookie break at our office (he's a fan of Wichcraft's Peanut Butter Cream'wiches!). "I did all three and to run in 2:08:37 on this tough, difficult course, to become the first American in 31 years to win it…is beyond belief."
Like many runners, Keflezighi, who left last year's race five minutes before the bombings, trained for 365 days to turn tragedy into a positive moment. "We were running for something greater than just a race. It was an attribution to the people that had been affected," he said. "As runners, we were resilient. We didn't give up!"
Insert chills here.
So, how can you succeed like this speedster? Persistence is key, he said, both in running and life. "It's not about the money, it's not about the fame. It's about doing what you were created to do on this Earth," the ElliptiGO Project athlete said. "That's what drives me every day, no matter what. Can I tap that potential?"
If you're looking to PR this summer, listen up! Keflezighi will be pacing the 1:30 half-marathon group at the Suja Run Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Marathon on June 1st. "San Diego is where I grew up and where I've won two titles in Rock 'n' Roll…I'm excited!" he said. Talk about runspiration! Register now, and get amped before race day with the play-by-play of his big win below.

One Year Later: The Boston Marathon
Written on May 6, 2014 at 11:16 am , by FITNESS Editors
In our April issue, runner Marissa Hill gave readers a first-person account of what it felt like to be in the Boston Marathon at the time of last year's bombing. Hill, running for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, returned to complete the marathon this year. Here's her story:
It would be hard to pick a day in my life in which I had experienced more positive energy, more love and hope and community support, than on that special Monday last week when I ran the Boston Marathon. As I headed into my corral I was surrounded by other charity runners, yet no one was really talking about last year. Everyone seemed positive–focused on the race ahead and how he or she was going to do that day. I popped my headphones in my ears without the sound for the start – I wanted to be able to hear the cheering crowd as I crossed the starting line.
It was hard to believe I was there. While training for and running the 2013 Boston Marathon, I had no interest in ever running a marathon again. And then everything changed. With the terror attacks at the finish line, I felt at a loss. What could I do to help, to make this better? I quickly vowed to run again—to finish the race. Of course, this was easier said than done.
Training after the tragedy was difficult, and I found myself avoiding thinking about it and not running at all. When I did begin running again, I focused solely on mileage and the training plans; I put the bombings to the side. It was only in the last few weeks up until this year's marathon that I realized I was still grieving. I knew that after months of training hard and pushing myself physically, I needed to focus on the mental aspect. Really, with any exercise, it is less about physically doing it, and more about mentally willing yourself. During my long training runs in the snow I focused on positivity—how else can you run in freezing temperatures for 20-plus miles? You tell yourself you can.
So that is what I did—that last week before the marathon, I told myself, "Yes, you can." It was my new mantra. I focused on the anniversary of the bombings, and gave myself permission to feel upset, to feel sadness, loss and heartache. And then I reminded myself that my way of coping, my way of doing something about last year's tragedy, was to run, to show up again and finish this thing.
I have heard people say there is nothing quite like running Boston, and it is true—the Boston Marathon is special. The people cheering you on, the historic course, the memories from last year—they all came together and pushed me forward. I kept looking for the spot where I was stopped last year, near Heartbreak Hill. I obviously passed it, but didn't recognize the exact spot. I knew I was close and kept waiting for terrible hills, and then all of a sudden I saw signs saying "You made it past Heartbreak Hill." Thanks to training and the willpower to keep going this past year, I didn't even realize I was on the hill!

Gold Medalist and Two-Time Boston Marathon Winner Joan Benoit-Samuelson's Secret to Success
Written on April 30, 2014 at 5:22 pm , by Lauren Cardarelli
As the title of Joan Benoit-Samuelson's documentary so perfectly states, "There Is No Finish Line" for the inaugural Olympic Women's Marathon winner. The soon-to-be 57-year-old still trains her heart out (Nordic skiing is her go-to winter cross training) and crushes races (NBD, she just finished the Boston Marathon first in her age division!)—all the while serving as an inspiration for the sport.
And there's no slowing down the legend. Just six days after finishing the 26.2 course she won twice, Joanie headed to Washington D.C. this past weekend to join more than 15,000 women (myself included!) in the Nike Women's Half Marathon. Whoa, my legs hurt just thinking about that. So how does she do it? What's her secret—besides boosting muscle recovery with lots of "carbos" and lean protein? "As long as there's a story to tell, inspiration follows," Joanie said 48 hours before tackling Capitol Hill. "That's how I continue to push myself."
Last year, it was all about running within 30 minutes of her Boston course record she set three decades ago. To mark the 30th anniversary of her L.A. win this year, Joanie had her mind set to finishing Boston under three hours, which she accomplished with seven minutes and 50 seconds to spare. Ambitious? No wonder she's known for breaking barriers, single-handedly defining women's running and oh, you know, just making history. All in a day's work.
"I think if anyone is going to have success in their life, they have to go to the beat of their own drum and do what they think is right," she said. "When it comes down to the true meaning of success, it's going out and believing in yourself and running your own race." Talk about the best pep talk ever. No wonder I PR'd this weekend! And ahem, running behind her with my speedy gal pal for a solid half of a mile: highlight to my running "career." She truly is the definition of brilliance.

Ready to Run: Fuel for the Boston Marathon with Nutritionist Heather Bauer
Written on April 17, 2014 at 9:51 am , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Jordan Clifford, editorial intern
Springtime, sunshine and sweaty success—could there be a better combination? We just wrapped up our own 13.1 miles this past weekend with the More/FITNESS Women's Half-Marathon (thank you to everyone who came out!) and our tired legs confirm that race season has begun. That's why we turned to nutritionist Heather Bauer, R.D., founder of Bestowed.com and coach of Team Stonyfield, to ensure we're making the most of our miles. I mean, the iconic Boston Marathon is on Monday, after all. Get ready to push your pace with Bauer's top training and race-day fueling tips:
Fuel your fire: Look for snacks that have whole ingredients, no GMOs, no antibiotics and no growth hormones, suggests Bauer. "Eating clean, organic food just guarantees that your body is going to get the best possible food and power to get through that race."
Power up with protein: "Most runners know about carbs, but I think protein gets downgraded," says Bauer. That's because after a long run, the muscle-building grub aids in recovery time and makes you stronger for tomorrow's training. Check out her protein-packed recipe below.
Pick the right carbs: Carb-loading is a no-go for Bauer. Instead, she suggests taking in more modified carbohydrates to prevent that dreadful bloated and heavy feeling that comes along with gorging. "It's about picking more low-glycemic options," says Bauer. Stock up on whole-grains, fruits and veggies instead of a massive plate of pasta the night before your race.
Watch your weight: "There are people who experience between a five- and eight-pound surge of weight when they are training [for a marathon] because they overcompensate on calories due to how hungry they are," explains Bauer. Control is key, so stick to "snacks that have a clear start and end." Instead of reaching for that family-sized pack of pretzels, grab a bar with less than 180 calories or an apple with a single-serving packet of almond butter. "Being a healthy, lean weight on race day is really beneficial to getting through 26 miles," says Bauer. "Having an extra 10 pounds is like carrying a backpack!"

Really Good Read: "Boston Billy" Is Back in Marathon Man
Written on May 30, 2013 at 2:23 pm , by Lauren Cardarelli
Long before the time of Gatorade, GU or GPS watches, Bill Rodgers set a 2:09:55 American record at the Boston Marathon. There were no clocks or traffic control for his 1975 victory and medals were awarded only to the top three runners.
"You didn't see lots of couples or families showing up to races," the legendary long-distance runner reminisced in his new book-meets-memoir, Marathon Man, which he co-authored with Matthew Shepatin. "I didn't know any running couples, and to see a woman runner was shocking. Some would think: Oh, good grief, there's a woman runner. My attitude was: Good going!"
Running as both a sport and culture has made drastic strides over the past few decades—something I rarely considered before reading the 26.2-mile journey of the infamous "Boston Billy." The book's chapters alternate between play-by-plays from his first big victory and life prior to the momentous moment in history, as he falls in, out and back in love with running.
The pavement-pounding passion that burns within so many of us used to be quite the enigma "for freaks and fairies," although seemingly simpler. Perhaps that ease was just the spirit Bill conveyed despite his quick pace. With each turning page, I craved the same sweat and pain that comes with training territory, but it was Bill's natural, liberating take and mindset—something no gadget could ever provide—that I found truly moving.
"Running wasn't an escape from life; rather it was an embrace of it," Bill explained. "As I bounded along the park trail, I wasn't sailing around in chaos. I was charging forward with purpose." For Bill, rising to the top of the running world wasn't about the fame or a collection of tech tees (well, those didn't even exist yet!). It was a sense of freedom he couldn't experience anywhere else.
Road races before the late 70s running boom were nuts and bolts affairs, a morale-boosting medicine that wasn't so much about the time, but a hunt for the win. Bill sported ensembles from dumpster dives (stiff jeans in the colder months—yikes!) and hydrated with an old shampoo bottle. He ran the same way he did as a kid catching butterflies in the fields of Connecticut, even stopping to tie his shoes with six miles to go before winning the Holy Grail of marathons.
Yes, we now know a lot more in respect to the athletic do's and don'ts, something we here at FITNESS love to keep you all up on. But if this invaluable book taught me anything, it's to lace up my sneaks without much of a thought and simply enjoy the ride. Who knows, maybe I'll leave my pop playlist behind, turning to the birds and sound of my own breath to pace my stride. This book is more than a good read. It's my new Bible. Pages are folded, quotes are highlighted and it will be a go-to gift for my fellow running pals. You learn through Bill's mistakes, defeats and triumphs, cheering him along as if the historical race is live. I won't be fueling up on ketchup-smeared brownies anytime soon—sorry, Bill, that's a little much—but I will pour myself full force into what Bill often referred to as his "channel." His perseverance sparked a fire under my tread that lead to a race-filled summer. Who knows, maybe I'll even go for the full 26.2 soon, too.
Now you tell us: Where do you find your run-spiration?

Why There Will Always Be Another Finish Line After Boston
Written on April 17, 2013 at 2:12 pm , by Betty Wong
The day before the Boston Marathon, I crossed the finish line of the More/Fitness Women's Half-Marathon in New York City's Central Park. About a month before Boston, I had crossed the finish line of the Los Angeles Marathon. Both times my tired legs somehow found the energy to surge through the last few hundred yards. With arms held high, a smile on my face and the cheering crowds drowning out whatever playlist has been pumping for hours through my earbuds, something magical always propels me forward as I run toward joy, exhilaration and complete satisfaction.
Crossing the finish line brings relief, pride and bliss, and there's never a moment you want it more than that last .1 of a 13.1-mile half or the final .2 of a 26.2-mile marathon. On Monday, thousands of runners in Boston had that same drive and focus shattered by two cruel, horrific bombs.
The blasts shook them out of their thoughts of elation, of accomplishment, of post-race celebrations over beer and burgers. In seconds, their hearts went from swelling with gratitude and love for family and friends who had supported them on race day and through months of training, to pounding with fear and panic over when and how they would reunite with their loved ones, if ever.
I was not in Boston on Monday, but from my desk at Fitness magazine, I was there in spirit. That morning, still high on endorphins from the wonderful race we hosted the day before with New York Road Runners, I wished the runners in Boston the same exuberance, strength and determination that were so palpable from the women runners at our half-marathon. I excitedly logged onto the Boston Athletic Association's website so I could track the progress of my friend and Fitness colleague Amy Macauley as she ran a strong pace through every split of her 26.2-mile trek into downtown Boston. When her final finish time popped up on my screen, I was thrilled and elated, just as I'd been the morning before.
News broke of the explosions less than an hour later. My heart sank for Amy, for the thousands of runners, spectators, organizers and volunteers. How could a day meant to be a celebration of all that is good about the human spirit—from the runners whose athleticism, dedication and grit are so deserving of admiration to the spectators who stand on the sidelines for hours hoping to catch a glimpse of their loved one and scream encouraging hoots and hollers at the sea of strangers running by—go from so right to so wrong?
Those two bombs placed in such close proximity to the finish line were intended to maim and kill, to stop us in our tracks. They robbed us of precious lives and limbs, and my heart breaks for those innocent spectators who were hurt and for their grieving families. The crimes took away our moments of celebration, but they did not end our journey. As any runner will tell you, every race is measured in much more than miles and the time it takes to cross the finish line. Whether in your training you went from fat to fit, weak to strong, doubter to believer, the course keeps going long after the race is over. The bombs in Boston will never take away our collective will to move forward, to sprint toward what is good in life. Already thousands on Facebook have committed to running 26.2 miles in the coming days, weeks and months to honor Boston. We run because we have to. We run for those who can't. We run because that is how we keep reaching, growing, healing. There will continue to be many more start lines to join, and this weekend our thoughts will be with marathoners lining up in London, as they will be thinking of their running comrades in Boston. In tragic times like this, we simply keep moving forward. We run for joy. We run for good health. We run for peace. That is how we finish strong.

Women Who Make America: Kathrine Switzer on How Running Can Change the World
Written on February 22, 2013 at 11:00 am , by Marianne Magno
Kathrine Switzer didn't sign up for the Boston Marathon in 1967 to stir any trouble; she just wanted to run. But when the then 19-year-old defied race officials and tradition by becoming the first female to officially enter the race and created headlines in the news, she became a trailblazer for women in running and fitness. Switzer, along with other strong, empowering women will star in Makers: Women Who Make America, a PBS documentary airing February 26 about the social revolution for women's political, economic and personal power. We chatted with Switzer–who is still running marathons, finishing the Berlin Marathon in 2011–about her history-making race, the future of women's sports and how running and fitness can change your life.
FITNESS: Before 1967, no woman had ever officially entered the Boston Marathon. Did you have an idea that it would make such an impact in sports?
Kathrine Switzer: I didn't want to run it to prove anything. I had heard that other women had run marathon distances and that one woman in 1966 ran the Boston Marathon but without a bib number, so I wasn't trying to break any barriers. It wasn't until a race official attacked me during the run because I had officially signed up and was wearing a number did I become determined to finish and speak out on behalf of all women.
But I also knew that if other women could feel the sense of empowerment that I've felt since I started running when I was 12, that it would create a tidal wave.
What have you learned from running throughout the years?
KS: It's not about running; it's about changing your life. It's about power and self esteem. The motivation to get other women running has kept me running. It's also about equality. Women have led the charge in women's sport. More women are running in the US now, compared to men. I've also learned that consistency and tenaciousness is better than talent. The more you do the better you can do. One of the best ways to get older is to keep active. I'm proud of myself for what I've done. Every day that I get to run is a bonus at this point.
I'm grateful for the things I've done and things I have to do yet. The very simple act of putting one foot in front of the other has changed my life so greatly. Read more

Fit Blogger We Love: Food. Fitness. Fashion.
Written on July 5, 2012 at 12:11 pm , by Samantha Shelton
A former smoker, Ali from Food. Fitness. Fashion knows what it's like to have difficulty breathing. But did she let that stop her from tackling a 5K? Nope. Nor did it hold her back from running 8Ks, half-marathons and even a marathon! Talk about a health comeback. We wanted to find out more about what this girl loves to run to and the gear she truly can't get her sweat on without. Read on for her answers, then pop over to her blog for more fit-spiration.
On my fit life list: As a runner and Bostonian, running the Boston marathon is a huge dream that may become a reality this Spring! I'd also like to conquer a high ropes course this summer. I work at a program for teens with autism spectrum disorders, and I would love to model fearlessness for them on the ropes course, even though I'm terrified of heights!
Most embarrassing song I'll admit I work out to: I'm not easily embarrassed, but there is one song I listen to when running that I will admit is super cheesy – "One Moment in Time," by Whitney Houston. It reminds me of all of the times I exceeded my own expectations with regards to education, fitness and my career.
5 things I can't live without: Besides my husband, Adam, and my miniature daschund, Oscar – coffee, my Canon Rebel camera, Garmin Forerunner 405, Brooks Adrenaline running shoes and red lipstick.
I'm happiest when I'm: Running and doing CrossFit! I love the feeling that running gives me and that I'm able to set small, measurable, attainable goals and reach them. CrossFit makes me feel strong, fearless, powerful and exhausted. To me, those are perfect workouts.

TEAMS: Nashville Predators, Minnesota Wild, St. Louis Blues
Better late than never.... The Nashville Predators announced Tuesday afternoon that they have recalled forward Gabriel Bourque from the Milwaukee Admirals. This couldn't come at a better time as center Paul Gaustad was overcome with a upper body injury prior to Monday night's game against the St. Louis Blues and Richard Clune had to step in. Of course, Clune was ineffective except with a dirty hit. Bourque suffered an injury in mid-December with the Admirals, but is just about ready to go. Bourque may just get the nod to dress tonight against the Minnesota Wild. Here is the press release sent out by the Nashville Predators. Nashville, Tenn. (January 22, 2013) – Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has recalled forward Gabriel Bourque from Milwaukee (AHL). Bourque, 22 (9/23/90), has 12 points (7g-5a) in 15 games for the Admirals this season. During his rookie NHL campaign last season, the Rimouski, Que., native ranked ninth in points per game among rookies who appeared in at least half their team's games (.44), finishing with 19 points (7g-12a) in 43 games. In the 2012 Playoffs, the 5-10, 192-pound left wing tied for the team lead in goals (3), and ranked third in points (5), setting franchise records for points (3g-1a-4pts) and plus-minus rating (+5) by a rookie in a playoff series in the Western Conference Quarterfinals vs. Detroit.

What types of animals and plants live in the Great Barrier Reef?

Before we take a glimpse at just how diverse plant and animal life are on the Great Barrier Reef, let's talk about what it is. It might sound singular, but the Great Barrier Reef, off the northeast coast of Australia, actually is made up of 600 different reefs and 300 islands. Interspersed among the reefs are coral or sand islands called cays. The cays were formed by debris piling up against the tops and edges of reefs. There are three major sections to the reef:
- Mackay/Capricorn: In the southernmost section of the reef, the continental shelf becomes increasingly narrow, with many underwater platform and patch reefs.
- Cairns/Central: This section is a popular tourist spot, where the continental shelf is wider and the reefs are farther out to the sea. Here, there are patch reefs or coral islands.
- Far Northern: This section is the closest to the equator, with the richest biodiversity. Here, ribbon reefs predominate with a few fringing and patch reefs.
The Great Barrier Reef's proximity to the equator makes its climate ideal for lush growth of coral and active marine life. They range in type and size, from tiny octopuses to 440-pound (200 kilogram) clams. Here's a partial list of the plants and animals that inhabit the reef:
- 1,500 species of fish
- 4,000 types of mollusk
- 30 species of whales and dolphins
- 103 species of sea worms
- 6 species of sea turtles
- 200 species of birds
- 20 species of sea snakes
Among the whales are dwarf minkes and the mighty humpbacks, and nearly every species of sea turtle in the world can be found on the Great Barrier Reef. Somewhat less animated but still fascinating, the reef is also home to some 500 species of seaweed, including Caulerpa, which is poisonous to things that might wish to eat it and so is able to make a nice living on the reef CRC Reef Research Center. The Great Barrier Reef is a diverse place indeed!

Chapter 21 Reviews
Chapter 2
I woke up in the morning to the sound of my alarm clock. I dressed and headed downstairs, to find a note of the fridge and an empty kitchen. Great, my father has gone somewhere to get drunk again, and my mom probably had to go and do an errand for someone. I read the note, it said that my mom had to go to work early because someone needed a hairdresser for a wedding. Yes, my mom is a hairdresser. I sighed and walked out of the empty house.
As I was walking down the street heading to school, and I could feel everyone stare at me. I don't know why but people refer to me as "Goth" just because I use eyeliner. I ignored them and headed through the school gates. As I was approaching my locker, I could feel someone snake their arms around me. I turned around and saw it was none other than Natalie, the only friend I got in this school.
"Hey Nat," I said, hugging her back.
"And how is Princess Melanie doing on this fine day?" She asked humorously.
"Princess Melanie is good why thank you, but she requests Lady Natalie to call her Mel instead of Melanie," I said, laughing at Nat, who was bowing to me.
Nat stood up and started laughing too, and we headed to our class. Nat and I matched up our schedules so we could be in the same classes together.
As we sat down in their usual seats in the back, I tuned out of the lesson. I started doodling on the paper which I was supposed to write down the notes on. That's how I am in every lesson. School never was my thing. I just go to it to escape home, and so I can see Nat. At the end of the day, I went over to Nat's, and started listening to the radio. I was singing along when I heard the radio announcer say something.
"To all listeners, you can win a chance to meet My Chemical Romance. Tune in today at 5 for details."
"That's a half an hour from now," I said excitedly.
When it was time, the DJ announced how to win.
"Win a chance to meet My Chemical Romance. Just call the station and if you are caller number 4, you win. The winner will get to take one person with himself/herself. Here we go!"
Nat and I both dialed the number of the radio station on our cells and hoped the best.
"Hello caller number 4," said the DJ through my cell. Oh my god, I am caller number 4!
"Hi" I answered.
"Congratulations! You have won the chance to meet My Chemical Romance!"
"Oh my god! Thanks a lot!" I said excited.
"You're welcome. What's your name?" asked the DJ.
"I'm Mel,"
"Okay Mel. Our staff will ask for your details so don't hang up!"
"Alright! Thanks again!" I said.
After giving the radio staff my details and everything, I went and asked Nat's mom if she can come with me, and she did! This is going to be the best trip ever!
A/N: Yaaaay they're gonna meet My Chem! Umm.. next chapter.. in a few days maybe?

Dear Sir,
thank you for the answer.
So if I understand correctly, even if i call serial write 1000 times - when the outgoing buffer gets filled, the serial.write will wait until the buffer is free and only then new data will be written to the buffer? But the rest of the code will execute nevertheless?
What if the next loop iteration occurs before the data gets sent?
If the buffer cannot get overflowed then the only explanation is that the code stops executing until all the bytes are sent?
Please help me understand,sinc you can see i am a bit slow to catch up...
Thank you and best regards,

As I pull into the gravel lot off Six Flags Road in Lithia Springs, the smell of hickory snakes through my air conditioning vents, filling the car with the mouth-watering aroma of smoke. I park among the line of industrial vans and trucks, and when I see the line of hungry workers backed out of the front door, my excitement grows.
These guys seem to know something that I don't. I can't help but wonder: How am I just now discovering this place?
Beaver Creek Biscuit Company and Barbecue is a restaurant with a split personality. By morning, it sells Southern breakfast fare and converts to a barbecue smokehouse for lunch.
Originally opened by Paul Turner in 1952, Turners Store began selling barbecue in the late 1980's. Current owners John Ray and Terry Kirby regularly ate Turner's barbecue, and when they purchased the business from him in 2002, they changed the name and added a country-style breakfast menu, but left the barbecue recipes alone.
The breakfast menu is straight forward and centers on the buttery biscuits from which they took their name. When I say that they offer Southern style breakfast, that encompasses all aspects, both good and bad. Butter rules breakfast at Beaver Creek, from the grits to the biscuits. The flavors are rich, but those of you looking for a light continental breakfast won't find it here.
Though few of the breakfast items are that remarkable in their own right – it is mostly standard country-style fare – the chicken biscuit ($2.75) stands out. Deep-fried in peanut oil, the batter is light and crisp, and the meat is surprisingly moist and tender. The country-fried pork loin biscuit ($2.50) is another highlight, the patty pressed thin and coated with heavy breading.
As the breakfast crowd dies down around 11 a.m., Beaver Creek shifts into barbecue mode, and this is where it really shines.
The smokehouse behind the restaurant, little more than a cinder block shack, pumps the sweet smell of slowly smoking meat into the air starting from the wee hours of the morning. Using an entirely wood-fired pit smoker constructed from an old 500-gallon fuel tank, pork shoulders and brisket bathe in hickory and white oak smoke overnight, infusing the meats with a sweet smoky flavor.
Unless you specify otherwise, the pork plate ($6.85), comes as pulled then chopped pork with your choice of two sides. However, I strongly recommend asking that the cooks refrain from chopping the meat, as I find that the finely chopped pork can dry out faster. The pulled pork retains much more moisture. Both versions come with a hearty helping of crispy, smoky bark mixed into the meat, imparting so much flavor that very little sauce is needed, if any.
Another must-try is the rib plate ($9.85). The thick spare ribs, each with a visible pink smoke ring soaked into the meat, pull cleanly from the bone, but retain just the right amount of chew.
Any of the meats pair well with the mustard based "Seminole sauce" – supposedly named in honor of the Seminole Indians that taught Paul Turner everything he knows about barbecue. The thicker hot sauce packs a punch but lacks the tangy bite of the mustard based alternative.
Though the smoked meats are the highlight at Beaver Creek, the sides do not disappoint. The Brunswick stew ($2.90) stands out as one of the best in town. A near emulsion of chicken, pork, beef, corn, and tomatoes, it is hearty, meaty, and satisfying. A strong layer of smoke punctuates the baked beans ($1.55), swimming with generous chunks of pulled pork. The mustard heavy Southern style potato salad ($1.55) brings me back to my grandmother's kitchen in Alabama.
The beef brisket plate ($7.35) is the only real letdown on the barbecue menu, but my complaint is one of style rather than quality. Though the flavor is good, Beaver Creek offers a pulled/shredded beef, rather than the thickly sliced brisket I prefer. However, fans of pulled beef may find it more enjoyable than I do.
So now the secret is out. This is old school barbecue done right, and if you consider yourself a 'cue lover, Beaver Creek deserves a visit.Beaver Creek Biscuit Company and Barbecue 1451 Six Flags Road, Austell. 770-739-0200

the others were not what should have been in there, or were poor operators. Quaker Stink and Lube? Everyone thought that was a car service operation and not a restaurant. This one of all, should be a winner. Sports Illustrated at one point had them as one of the top ten sports bars in the country.

I need BBQ help. I live off Roswell Rd, N. Buckhead. Where is the nearest and best Barbecue joint? I also prefer a place which offers beer.
There is a real shortage of affordabel Southern food in the Buckhead Sandy Springs area. There was a Ribs place right near where i live but it wasn't good and folded a few months ago.
March 20th, 2011
11:01 pm
It's very near you and you don't even know it. Pig 'N' Chick in the Fountain Oaks Kroger Shopping Center on Roswell Road, just above the Buckhead-Sandy Springs line. John Kessler's headline about it: "Barbecue So Good It'll Make You Go Oink." It sells beer, a real plus. The ribs place you mentioned was the once-great Ribs, Etc. That is, great back when John Pomeroy owned it years ago. Its loss is deeply mourned.
March 22nd, 2011
3:03 am
Thank you, Sandy Springs. I'll give Pig N Chick another try, since I live nearby. A friend had brought some ribs from there that were quite gobby with fat. I Ribs, Etc had declined before I'd moved to this area.
Roswell Rod has spaces for rent. I'd like to see affordable Southern food and easy-going French bistros open up..

26.07.04 - British and Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion MATT SKELTON has been ruled out of his fight this Friday (30 July) at the York Hall against Alfred Cole due to a viral infection. The undefeated Bedford puncher was scheduled to face Cole in a ten-round contest but was struck down with an infection last week leaving him unable to train.
After seeking medical advice, Skelton was told to withdraw from the fight and rest until further notice.
Skelton said, I am very disappointed that Ive have been forced to pull out of a fight for the first time in my career but I have listened to the advice given to me by the doctors and my team and realise that this is the best thing to do.
I was looking forward to this fight against Cole as I saw it as a test to see how I would cope with my first American opponent who has a wealth of experience behind him,
My training was going fantastic and then last week I was struck down with the virus which has left me very weak and unable to train."
As people know I am fanatical about my training and am rarely out of the gym plus I have fought regularly without taking rests in between. My immune system was apparently very low which has made me susceptible to viruses that are virulent at this time of the year."
I will now take a good rest and go on holiday and return to training in full health. I apologise to my fans who were looking forward to see me fight but Im sure they will understand.
Rumours were circulating last week that Cole had pulled out of the fight due to Visa problems but this is untrue.
GRAHAM EARL will still headline the show with the second defence of his British Lightweight Title against STEVE MURRAY.

Advice to those who are considering pursuing your college degree: enjoy it! The experience you get when it comes to classes, activities and organizations outside of class, is one most people don't get. So, make the most of your time here!
Hi, my name is Kyrone Maye, and I am junior from Battle Creek Michigan, majoring in public relations and minoring in history. I graduated high school in 2010, and plan to graduate from Western Michigan University in the spring of 2014. Basketball and baseball are my favorite sports, and I like meeting new people.
I chose Western Michigan University because it far enough from home to get away, but close enough to go back if i ever needed too. My mom is an alumna of Western, so she was pushing for me to pick WMU. I chose public relations as my major because it helps you understand the significance of communication and research, and allows you network with individuals who work in a field of your interest.
College life is amazing! You're able to get involved outside of class with people who are interested in the same things that you are. I am involved an organization called Young Black Male Support Network (YBMSN). We host education and social events for students to attend and also give volunteer opportunities. I'm also a Resident Assistant. We help make sure that your living experience in the resident halls is an experience you can learn from.

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen gave birth to her son Benjamin in late December. The 29-year-old bravely gave birth in a bathtub at her house in Boston instead of going to a hospital. She wanted to experience the whole transformation of pregnancy and birthing in it's most natural state so to prepare for the birth she practiced meditation.
"And once he was born, I never felt so empowered as looking at him and thinking, Oh, my God, we did it together!"
Gisele said she exercised regularly right up until the time her baby was due. She said,
"I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week."
In addition, she chose to be 'mindful' about what she ate during pregnancy and didn't want to be like other women who choose to be 'garbage disposals' while pregnant. Gisele stayed out of the limelight while pregnant because she didn't want the attention. She only gained a total of 30 pounds but since she sees pregnancy as a 'sacred moment' she wanted to stay out of the public eye.

Could cramps be the first pregnancy symptoms and sign? Duting pregnancy, cramping and cramps dcan often be a reason for alarm. The female body undergoes dramatic changes in the first few weeks of gestation and these changes can be the first sign and symptoms of pregnancy.
Could cramps be the first pregnancy symptoms and sign? Duting pregnancy, cramping and cramps dcan often be a reason for alarm. The female body undergoes dramatic changes in the first few weeks of gestation and these changes can be the first sign and symptoms of pregnancy.
One of the first changes to occur in the female body in preparation for the new baby is the release of additional female hormones like estrogen and progesterone. These hormones tell the uterus to expand, among other messages to the female body. Once the uterus begins the growth process, the mild pregnancy cramping may occur, and these could be the first sign and pregnancy symptom. Many women have no idea they are pregnant when these first cramps are felt and can easily be misinterpreted as menstruation cramping.
However, if your cramping is more severe than you expect, especially if the pain is on the right or left side, then you should see your doctor immediately because this could be a sign of a life-threatening condition called ectopic pregnancy.
Even earlier than the uterine growth is the attachment of the fertilized egg to the wall of the uterus. This attachment can actually be felt as mild cramping as well. Along with this cramping light spotting can occur, thus adding to the idea that the normal monthly cycle will start.
Causes of Pregnancy Cramping During Your First Trimester
Once the body has started the growth process, the uterus will grow until the baby is ready to live outside the womb. This growth will continue to expand the uterus and stretch the ligaments that attach the uterus to the walls of the abdomen. These ligaments will be more flexible than normal, thanks to the additional hormones in the body, but this does not mean the pregnant mom will not feel the stretch as cramping during pregnancy.
Pregnancy cramping and other cramps during pregnancy are also associated with the end of the third trimester or labor. During the pregnancy, the uterus may begin training of sorts for the birth ahead. This training is called the Braxton Hicks contraction. These mild contractions will feel very similar to a cramp and should be noted and followed just in case they turn into a real early labor situation. One of the most common reasons for hospital attention in the third trimester, before birth, is false labor due to the strength of the Braxton Hicks contractions.
If the contractions felt appear at regular, shortening intervals and increase in severity, mom may be in labor and should seek the advice of her Ob/Gyn.
While there are harmless reasons for cramping when a woman is pregnant and during pregnancy, there are also serious medical conditions and events that can also be presented as cramping during pregnancy. If the pregnant women feels cramping that is accompanied by bleeding from the vagina or cramping that increases in strength over a period of time, the obstetrician should be called immediately or the pregnant mom should seek immediate medical attention.
You can rarely distinguish Braxton Hicks from labor contractions. So especially if you are under 37 weeks you should always let your doctor know when you have regular pregnancy cramping or cramps in pregnancy.
Cramping during pregnancy is a very common occurrence, but any mother who experiences pregnancy cramps and cramping should report the cramps and the severity of the pain.
Pregnancy cramping or cramps can be acceptable, but they can also be a sign of medical distress and only a medical professional will be able to determine whether the cramps during pregnancy are affecting mom and baby.

Father of victim wants to meet survivor
The father of a man who died on a fishing boat still has unanswered questions about his son's death after speaking on the phone with an El Salvadoran castaway who apparently survived the 13-month accidental journey across the Pacific Ocean.
Cordoba Cruz was sobbing and holding the only two pictures he has of his son when he spoke to the newspaper from Ciudad Juarez, a Mexican border town, where he lives.
Alvarenga's small fishing boat made landfall on the Marshall Islands earlier this month, where he described a 6,500-mile (10,500-kilometre) journey from Mexico across the Pacific that began when the vessel was thrown off course by bad weather.
Doctors have said he was in strikingly good physical health, though mentally frail. Alvarenga has said he survived by eating raw fish, turtles and bird blood.
Alvarenga has said his fishing companion died about a month after they went off course when he couldn't eat the raw fish and turtles. Cordoba Cruz said Alvarenga told him he threw his son's body overboard after he died.
Five days after Cordoba Rios failed to return from his shark-fishing trip with Alvarenga, the family in Chiapas reported him missing and began searching for him, his aunt said.
"Our family looked for him in the sea, in other villages, always hoping to find him," she said, adding that their search ended about three weeks later in December 2012.
But his father, who had been sick and had several surgeries, was not told about his son's disappearance for several more months.
Now, after speaking with Alvarenga, he has questions about the story. While Cordoba Cruz said he believes Alvarenga, he needs to talk to him in person to be certain.

Malea Powell, the national chair of the Conference on College Composition & Communication and a professor at Michigan State University, will discuss American Indian rhetorics at Nebraska Wesleyan University's annual Holder Lecture on April 25.
Powell's lecture, "Rhetorical Powwows: Making American Indian Rhetorics," begins at 3:30 p.m. in Callen Conference Center, located on the lower level of the Smith-Curtis Administration Building.
Powell spent five years as director of the Rhetoric and Writing Graduate Program at MSU, seven years as editor of SAIL: Studies in American Indian Literatures and two years as associate national director of the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers & Storytellers.
Powell's current work focuses on American Indian material rhetorics and the degree to which these everyday arts are related to written rhetorical traditions. Powell is a mixed-blood of Indiana Miami, Eastern Shawnee, and Euroamerican ancestry. She grew up on a small farm in north-central Indiana just outside of Swayzee, surrounded by family and history.
Powell says her main goal as a scholar, teacher and mentor is to change the way that knowledge by, about, and for American Indians is produced, distributed, taught, and received.
Her lecture is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.
The Kenneth R. Holder Lecture was established by members of the Department of English in memory of Dr. Kenneth R. Holder, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and Professor of English. The lecture features a scholar in the field of language, English education or composition theory.
