"I was always impressed with her intellect. She was educated. She was politically astute. That is a very important aspect of leadership: If you are not wise, if you are not familiar with how to deal with people different from yourself, then you can't be an effective leader. She could talk to anyone. She was an effective legislator. She knew how to get legislation passed for those less fortunate."
"I think she was very astute, along with the prime minister and her other advisers, to recognize that to let this go unanswered would have, in the minds of many, confirmed their worst suspicions."
"Technical astuteness is not necessarily something that's going to give you a big edge. You have to be the team leader, like a head coach. You have the right people at the right places, and I think that's our strongest point."

Tesla's India Gigafactory to depend on imported Lithium
According to reports, Tesla Motors Chief Executive and Product Architect Elon Musk's plan to set up a Gigafactory in India should also factor in imports of Lithium, the rare metal used for making batteries to pack more power and longer duration in relative smaller boxes, say analysts. India does not have reserves of the rare metal needed for making lithium-ion batteries, critical for the country in its rural electrification programme using renewable energy sources like wind and solar.

Superfun double golden lucky prosperous blog
My friend Mark, a professor at Tsinghia University in Beijing (China's #1 Engineering and perhaps #1 School) came up with a novel idea to distribute the lectures that he provides to students and clients. He saves his powerpoint slides as jpegs and loads each one up to Flickr. Here are his slides on a financial lecture that he just gave. He would still need to create a podcast lecture but that would just mean recording for each slide in synch with the Flikr slideshow. I would recommend maybe a talking head on shot and loading it up on YouTube for the audio and pictures of him talking. Of course, users would need a big screen to see all this or they can have a small screen with slides and just hear the YouTube/Podcast.
However, Flickr is pretty diligent about taking down images which are not really photographs. They take down drawings and notes all the time. However, the idea for online education and distribution really doesn't get easier than this without a full video and web based production - especially for China. I smell a potential new idea. If anyone wants to contact Mark send him an e-mail.

Skip to comments.Anger brews over government workers' benefits
Posted on 03/08/2011 7:56:59 AM PST by Poundstone
When Erin McFarlane looks at public workers, she sees lucrative pension benefits she doesn't ever expect to get. And it makes her mad.
"I don't think that a federal employee or government employee is worth any more than anybody else who does their job and does it well," said the Slinger, Wis., woman. She's been working a couple of bartending jobs since January, when she was laid off from her job at a Harley Davidson plant after almost a decade.
She's not alone in seeing public servants as public enemies in some ways.
It's a case of pension envy.
(Excerpt) Read more at chron.com ...
Interesting. This article is focused on the longstanding problem of state retirees' pension underfunding, although the first quote is from a citizen who confuses pensions of state and federal retirees. The two types of pensions couldn't be more different. Unlike state pensions, federal pensions are fundable by the federal government — which, if necessary, can fulfill its obligations by simply printing more money. States can't do that; they either have to raise taxes or cut spending in other areas to satisfy their obligations.
It's an important distinction with real ramifications.
I can't imagine why anyone would have taken a govt job 10 years ago when they could have had steady work at the Harley plant
My how times have changed
Federal or State it doesn't matter. 90% of them are parasitic leeches on the body politic.
I totally agree.
My fear is that Cali, Ill, and NY will eventually be allowed to issue bonds with a FedGov guarantee.
Hetty Rosenstein, the NJ director of the Communications Workers of America, which represents New Jersey government workers says gripes about her members' pensions are misplaced.We make our own pensions, dear Hetty, if we can, from the meager scraps we have left AFTER PAYING YOURS. That's not exactly "envy" now is it?
"There's pension envy because people who are working in the private sector, they're being denied pensions," she said.
Not at all! It is OUTRAGE.
If you think these pensions are bad you should know what the 'poor' receive each month. One person whose grandaughter lives with her gets $2,000 a MONTH government check, another gets a 'crazy check' from the government because he can't behave in class.
It makes me want to puke!
There is no telling what the taxpayers are paying for because the politicians aren't being honest about it!
It's time to crack down on ALL of the corruption and GOVERNMENT CHECKS to people who are just gaming the system (some for generations)!
Here's fun fact to know and tell: The president of US is the higest paid federal employee.
Who comes in second? And what is the amount of his/her annual salary?
These are the key words. Social injustice and oppression of the non-government working class. The Federal government must step in and MANDATE all private employers to immediately issue non-funded pension to all workers to make society fair... grab your ankles, Mr. Businessman...
If the federal government simply meets it's obligations by printing more money, what's the difference between doing that, and devalueing the worth of your own savings through inflation, and taxing you outright to pay for it?
Either way they're making you poorer so they can be richer.
The AP - what do you expect. A news co-op created by the elites to "shape" opinions.
Those are key words, but the most key is the one. "Envy." It is a mocker's word, one that tears down good things in the name of a misplaced sense of fairness, in context it is a mock and a dare. She's foments discord with it, a discord that makes all poorer.
Let public employees and elected officials be paid the regular market wage of their place and time, and not get benefits from the employer at all, for with their wages they can each buy benefits as we all must do. When they are protected and insulated from the affairs of normal private sector people they come to indulge in daily oppressions of us through burdening regulations and fees which they are free off.
Going to get heat on this but you can't count on anyone for a pension,we are on our own.Some manage to win some don't a plan is all we have to work with.
Amerikas nomenklatura
its becoming increasingly clear that America is now run by a new, privileged class of bureaucrats.
For those who remember the old Soviet Union, it was a grim place at least for average citizens. But not so for those in government. Contrary to the official ideals of equality and a classless society that the ruling communist regime espoused, the USSR created a privileged class of party members inside government the nomenklatura.
This semipermanent bureaucracy earned higher incomes, got better health care, ate better food and had greater job security than average Russians, the much-despised proletarians. Today, our bloated federal government seems, in significant ways, to be creating this same dynamic.
as unflattering a trait as envy is, the GOP had better start getting a whole lot louder on this point if they expect to win on this issue.
I have no problem with collective bargaining providing it's not on the back of the tax-payer. Only assholes would insist otherwise.
True, they are our employees! What an attitude problem they have ...
I have a problem with collective bargaining. Closed-shop unions are a problem.
It is an important distinction.
Yes, all debt (Federal and State) is killing our country and economy, but here is the significant difference between the two:
1. State debt is caused primarily by the excessive cost of funding public employee union members (teachers, state workers) salaries, health care and pensions.This has caused states to increase taxes (property, sales, personal property, etc) in that state, which is killing local residents.
2. The primary cause of Federal deficits is entitlements (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and all other welfare - SNAP Food Stamps, EBT cash transfers, Section 8 housing, unemployment benefits, etc).
That is one helluva difference. Federal salaries and pensions are a drop in the massive debt bucket. Slashing them might make people feel good, but it won't do a damn thing to stop the bleeding.
The states are an entirely different story. NJ, NY, IL, and CA are all on the precipice of doom because of pensions, salaries, and health benefits to workers. Period. The Federal government is broke because of entitlements.
The states can have their own currency! So can all banks in the US, (they once did!) and even people. They just can't counterfeit US currency. And, the Constitution says that a state's money would have to be gold or silver coin, although if it were paper actually BACKED by real gold or silver, the Courts might approve that.
"Who comes in second? And what is the amount of his/her annual salary?"
Chief Justice of the Supremes?
Not even close...but he is in the top 10.
Care to try again?
Yes, nail meets hammer, you are exactly RIGHT!
" Contrary to the official ideals of equality and a classless society that the ruling communist regime espoused, the USSR created a privileged class of party members inside government ..."
Basically, we are very close to that, and heading closer.
The US has become the United Commie Stats of America, UCSA!!
Or whatever acronym you chose.
Equal Protection before the law, and in this societies structure has been turned on its head.
From pensions, to Deathcare, to taxes, they exempt themselves while WE PAY.
/rant off
Utah has just passed a law doing just that.
I saw it here yesterday.
Bartender? Sounds like she's just blaming everybody else for the fact that she failed to learn the skills to get a better job.
Well said, SkyPilot. Bravo.
I am going to guess the Head Football Coach at West Point Academy?
Leftists are nothing but a bunch of spoiled worthless brats who don't even do their jobs well. They insult the very people who pay their salaries.
If these Wisconsin thugs get their way one last time then America is destroyed forever. We let them shove us around for too long.
Spasmodic silliness. Who will use gold to pay their debts when the recipient must accept dollars. The Utah legislature apparently has never heard of "Gresham's Law".
$2000 a month could have been somebody's LIFE! That's almost enough to pay for life support for some child in some hospital and these selfish useless prima donnas are getting it simply for being useless lazy idiots. I know a poor hispanic family in Hartford, CT who would have been eternally grateful if the government spent even so much as a single payment of that $2000 for their child's medical treatment. Meanwhile, some spoiled punk is getting it and is not only UNGRATEFUL but harbors a burning hatred towards its benefactors.
Imagine if we took that 15+ trillion in debt and put it towards the advancement of science and humanity! We'd be disease free and living on ****ing Mars!
These leftists parasites need to be hunted down and made extremely uncomfortable. The next leftist I meet will be beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die. These are NOT our fellow citizens. They are criminals of the worst order and need to be treated as they deserve to be treated.
Yes, arrogantSOB, who will use gold?
Maybe nobody, maybe lots of somebodies, when the dollar dies, that is.
Gresham's Law, well, has the Bernank heard of it either?
How many trillions have been created since Ozombie?
Yes, silly gold. Been money a lot longer than the fiat $US dollar, hasn't it?
very silly indeed, ha.
This is stuff that has been known since the 16th century when there was actually a sort of gold standard.
No one will use gold in Utah because it is extremely inconvenient, difficult to make change for and varies in value day by day. It would be a nightmare.
What would establish the value of the day? CNN, Fox News, Blomberg, the CBOE? It is laughable to see the legislature wasting its time on such an issue.
It is the ignorant pandering to the more ignorant something unfortunately not confined to the Left.
If the dollar declines precipitously then the use of gold will become even LESS likely since its value would be constantly increasing. So no intelligent person would willing spend an appreciating asset when there is a depreciating one to use. Bad money drives out good.
What world are you living in 2Gs won't keep someone on life support for a week much less a month probably not even a DAY?
Ignorance and insanity is a dangerous combination.
I guess the dollar doesn't change day by day, eh?
Or is it so much better to have savers destroyed by the inflation so that what a dollar was worth when it was saved, is no where close to the worth it will have when it is spent. Just wonderful for the elders!!!
blah, barf.
Changes in the dollar/foreign exchange rate are gradual and more in tenth of cents or cents per day so it is imperceptible and relevant in the short run only wrt exporters and importers since foreign exchange is not legal tender within the US. Whereas gold would be in Utah.
What would happen would be that gold would be drained out of Utah by speculators from elsewhere since gold/dollars would be convertible.
Since the vast majority of wealth in the US is in a small number of hands(say 10% owns 70% of the wealth or more) its depreciation is not as significant for the rest of the population as would be a credit freeze or contraction which gold would ensure. Moving to the gold standard would collapse the economy which has far greater consequences politically than slow inflation. In particular it would mean Class Warfare on a scale not seen since the 30s and the takeover of the Democrats for the next 20 years.
Don't you know anything about economics or economic history? It was the renewal of the gold standard by the British in the twenties which brought it the depression several years earlier than in the US. Roosevelt recognized eventually that getting off the gold standard was the first step toward reigniting the economy after the depression spread to this country.
Without doing that there was no way of exporting enough to help since by doing so ignited trade wars because it drained specie from the importing countries which weakened their economies. With floating exchange rates this does not happen.
You and the anti gold bugs are all the same.
Gas goes up like it does BECAUSE THE DOLLAR IS GOING DOWN, for now at least. There might get one more bounce from a market crash, but how many times can they get away with doing that?
We are in danger because a currency crisis does not result in "slow" inflation, it is a currency event that creates *hyper* inflation.
Look, I don't like what is going on, and I don't trust
Fiscal Moron Ben. He IS destroying the dollar. How much more do you think the rest of the world is going to put up with his deceit? Forever? THAT is historically unrealistic.
The Depression here was caused by A CREDIT BUBBLE!!!
Just like NOW, it is a contraction CASUED by the bubbles blown by Greenspan.
I despise the disingenous arguments that only protect the TBTF banks. If you want to defend those frauds, have at it.
It depends. 2Gs is enough for an O2 nasal cannula if nothing else. I use "life support" in the generic sense because my comment wasn't supposed to be about medicine. It was just an example of how the system runs under the leftist vermin.
Insanity? Yea I'm a little bit nuts but "sane" people have utterly failed to stop the leftists. They haven't even made a dent in their progress. Crazies made this country and only crazies can save it.
There have rarely been saner people than Washington, Adams, Hamilton and Madison. Insanity should be left to the Leftists.
The fluctuations in the value of the dollar has nothing to do with the price of gas. If the dollar changes its value by 1% it is a big daily move meanwhile we are looking at 30 to 100% increases in the value of oil. Since you claim a concern for "Truth" you should be aware that oil is priced in dollars which insults us to some extent.
There has NEVER been a hyper-inflation in the United States and very few in developed nations in all of history. When real estate prices are collapsed there is no chance of one now.
I am not concerned about your lack of trust in Bennie Boy but you need to know what you are talking about. That does not mean that you rely on whacky websites for explanations about the Gold standard and the cause of the Depression but that you actually study REAL history.
This also means that if you are concerned about the Fed you need to study its history and how it functions. One little fact is that the Fed actually turns over its profits to the federal government. In other words it functions as an income earning asset of the American people.
Correction I meant to say "insulates" not "insults" LoL.
And who is "they"? Who is defending TBTF banks? People who speak the truth are only doing that.
"Who is defending TBTF banks?
People who speak the truth are only doing that."
Oh REALLY? hahahahahahahaaha!!!!!
NO bias there, riiighhhttt. /s
And for the dollar and gas, it is OIL that is CURRENTLY fluctuating. So the gas fluctuates ALONG WITH THE DOLLAR.
But enough of that. You types are all the same, what is up with that?
Accuse of something not posted, state SOME facts but not ALL. Sounds like trollish disruption to me.
AND then telling me I need to go an study... I don't know enough, well, buddy. I'm a homeschooler, I have heard those arguments before. Not impressed at all.
Drop the arrogance, arrogantSOB, quit posting things about my post I didn't say.
It is clear that your "homeschooling" has not included any significant economics texts but that is not much different than the schools. Economics is one of those things which takes years of hard study and incorporates knowledge of history, advanced math, logic and other social sciences. Hanging out on the internet is NOT "schooling" schooling is hacking your way through extremely difficult texts whether you like what they are saying or not.
Here are some basic economics texts which you need to go through before you are ready to discuss such issues with adults: The Wealth of Nations -Adam Smith, On the Principles of Political Economics and Taxation -David Ricardo and even Das Kapital -Marx. Samuelson's text is useful as well. Friedman's Monetary History of the United States and Keynes' General Theory of Unemployment, Interest and Money.
I apologize for not being clear wrt the dollar and oil. AT THIS TIME the price of dollar is not being overly affected by inflation of the dollar it has been driven up primarily by the increased risk in the world markets not inflation. That could change and you are right to be concerned about that however, it isn't happening right now.
You have posted a lot of garbage which I have corrected point by point and added a lot more information which should help you get a grasp on things but you just lose your temper and ignore anything significant to the issue.
When you get older you will understand that being corrected is a good thing and not something you should take personally.
"Utah has just passed a law doing just that.
I saw it here yesterday"
Cool! GO, Utah!
It is clear that my reference about homeschooling went right over your head. Now, read carefully, you tend to make assumptions based on your own bias.
Homeschoolers were told endlessly about how we can't teach our own children because we didn't study for, don't have a credential, and we weren't smart enough to do it. Today, a majority of the public sees that we are right. In fact, those silly union thugs in Wisconsin are proving our point. Public schools are nothing but government indoctrination centers.
So, this correlates to your assumption that I need to read six books, and you didn't even mention von Mises or Hayek, by the way. Your assertion that I need to read six books that you approve of before I can make comments about economics, which isn't a science, is as uninformed as the public school teachers about teaching.
I think you fail to understand what this site is about.
People post threads to news or interest story's and comment on them. No fancy degree required. No multiple letters after our names. It keeps the educated idiots to a minimum.
You have posted a lot of garbage which I have refuted and added a lot more information which should help you get a grasp on things. You, on the other hand, ignore anything significant to the issue.
When you get older you will understand that being corrected is a good thing and not something you should take personally.
Besides, I am old enough to be a grandma, silly.
You and your assumption can take a flying leap, arrogantSOB.
Well named you are.
I could have listed a bunch of other economics books but preferred not to overwhelm (or even further infuriate you) you since I am sure you have read NONE of them nor Hayek or Von Mises either as far as that goes. Those listed are not books I "approve" of but are those which represent how the science of economics has come to be. The point is to actually UNDERSTAND the issues being discussed rather than rely on various and sundry crackpots and outliers who are not taken seriously by anyone knowledgeable in the subject.
While I have not been discussing education in general it is obvious that you cannot teach subjects which you are not expert in. You cannot teach Adv. Chemistry, Calculus or Physics or statistics or a foreign language nor can anyone else who is homeschooling who has not become expert in such things. The idea that I could teach German would be laughable. All those courses are available at the better public and private schools. Now I will grant you that you can maybe teach as well and as thoroughly as a poor teacher in a poor school. But a good teacher in a good school? Not a chance. Outside of inflammatory and mostly false rhetoric what can you contribute? Public schools are where members of our military forces were OVERWHELMINGLY trained so they do have millions of success stories every year. My elder son was one though he hated high school. He is now a nuclear reactor operator having been trained in a six year Navy stint on nuclear submarines. My younger went to a private school (with he also hated) and is also successful. Nor are the public schools "indoctrination" centers of the government. Public schools are controlled by LOCAL people often through LOCALLY elected school boards. This one element where the PEOPLE actually have the most control over political teaching IF they chose to use it or know what to do which they don't. Not that it matters much if they are indoctrination centers since kids generally don't believe what they are being taught anyway. Funny but your style of writing and the rhetoric you use are indicative of those of teenagers not a mature person. People who actually KNOW something are often considered arrogant so I have no concern as regards that.
BTW I would be willing to bet that the people on FR have MORE education and MORE advanced degrees than the general population. It is not filled with anti-intellectual Know Nothings as you claim.

MORRIS — Members of the Morris City Council agreed with the assessment of Morris City Manager Blaine Hill: the chimes at Summit and Calvary Cemetery need to be play less often and at a lower volume to respect the rights of neighbors. Hill told the council Tuesday that the chimes have been an ongoing issue for years and complaints have come from more than just a couple of people. "They're too loud, they need to be turned down, and they shouldn't be played every 15 minutes — in the end, I don't know what the answer is going to be on this," said Hill. Council member Brian Solvie sa
MORRIS — The first six months of 2014 brought renovations at long-time area businesses, an electoral challenge and a major milestone for Morris Area's high school softball coach. Here's a look back at the year that was. January The first baby of 2014 was Flynn Dominic Copeland, born at Stevens Community Medical Center to Megan and Nate Copeland of Morris. He weighed in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces and was 21 inches long at birth on Jan. 3 at 5:54 p.m. Flynn is the Copeland's first child. The community of Starbuck held a celebration for Dr.
MORRIS — The Morris Area School Board has contracted with the Minnesota School Boards Association to help coordinate the search for a new superintendent. Under a timeline for the search, the district could have a new superintendent under contract for the 2015 — 2016 school year by March 2015. On Tuesday, Superintendent Diane Moeller said her phone has been ringing "off the hook" since the the job opening was posted online. "The word is out there and lots of people are excited about it," Moeller said. On Tuesday, the school board agreed that members of the superintendent search
MORRIS — On Monday, the Morris Area School Board approved the maximum levy amount allowed by the state for 2015, a decrease of about $335,000 or 9 percent compared to 2014. The district's total levy for taxes payable in 2015 is about $3.29 million. Finance Director Jeanne Maanum told the board that most of the decrease is a result of changes determined by the state.
MORRIS — Senior volunteers Jim and Lou Eystad are the most recent recipients of the Pay it Forward Stevens County award. Jim and Lou were nominated by Anne Hansen, who outlined their many volunteer activities in her nomination letter. The Eystads were surprised with the nomination at the Morris Senior Center on Friday, Dec. 20. "They chose to move back to Donnelly area in early 1990s after retiring from California. They chose to volunteer at all church and community things they noted would make life better — their age and the age of those they help has never mattered.
MORRIS — After hearing concerns from landowners about crop payments on Tuesday, the Stevens County Board of Commissioners delayed giving final approval and setting crop damage payments for an improvement project on County Ditch 30. Assistant Ditch Inspector Daniel Lissick, who oversaw the project, said he thought it was "very successful." "It got done in a timely and efficient manner and it would be great to do more of them," Lissick said. The board was asked to approve crop damage payments for crops on 23 parcels of land that were damaged during construction.
MORRIS — After many delays and much anticipation, Mi Mexico opened quietly in Morris on Monday afternoon. Mi Mexico is owned by Juan and Stephanie Cid, who also own the Mi Mexico restaurant in Benson. Anticipation in the community for the restaurant's opening has been growing for more than a year. The Cids have been trying to open a restaurant in Morris for the last three or four years, but had to wait until a suitable space opened up. However, it took longer than expected to make the necessary cosmetic and structural updates to their space in the City Center Mall.
MORRIS — On Tuesday, the Morris Planning Commission recommended approving a conditional use permit to Derek Gausman to open a K-Bid online auction collection site at the current site of West Central Implement, 1100 Atlantic Avenue. The planning commission made the following recommendations for the conditional use permit: • That the entire property be cleared of junk and debris prior to the start of the collection of any items for an online auction. • That the area be designated on the property where items will be placed for an online auction and that no items will be placed anywhere e

The celebration included the "cheer squad" leading a chant for Milbrandt and a song by the Morris Area High School band. Milbrandt was nominated for the award by fellow teacher Peg Rinkenberger, who praised him for the big impact he has had on the community in just a short time.

text: Close Top 10 MLB Players from Japan 50 years ago, on Sept. 1, 1964, Masanori Murakami became the first Japanese-born player to appear in the major leagues. He pitched so well in his late-season callup that the San Francisco Giants fought bitterly to retain his services. The Nankei Hawks, his Japanese club, allowed him to stay with the Giants for one more season, during which he struck out 85 batters in 74 1/3 innings before deciding to return home. Nearly three decades passed before another Japanese pitcher came to the States. Here are our all-time top 10 MLB players from Japan. 0 0 More 0 0 0 View Gallery Next Previous Next Peter Read Miller/SI No. 1: Ichiro Suzuki The first Japanese-born position player to play regularly in the majors, the 10-time Gold Glove winner and 10-time All-Star was one of the best hitters and defensive outfielders in the game for a decade. The Mariners paid roughly $13 million in posting fees to negotiate with Ichiro in 2000, and signed him to a three-year, $14 million contract. He promptly became the 2001 AL Rookie of the Year and MVP. He set a single-season record with 262 hits in 2004, his second season as AL batting champ and set a major league record with 10 consecutive seasons of 200 or more hits. 1|10 James Porto/SI No. 2: Hideki Matsui ''Godzilla,'' as he was known in Japan, was an unqualified success after signing a three-year, $21 million deal with the Yankees before the 2003 season. Matsui drove in at least 100 runs each of his first three seasons and was the World Series MVP in 2009, his last year with the Yankees before moving on to the Angels for 2010 and the A's for 2011. 2|10 John Biever/SI No. 3: Hideo Nomo Nomo-Mania had humble beginnings -- the Dodgers brought him over on a minor league contract. Nomo, 26 at the time, had posted a 78-46 record with a 3.15 ERA in five years with the Kintetsu Buffaloes of the Japanese League. He was an instant hit in America, winning 43 games during his first three seasons with Los Angeles and claiming NL Rookie of the Year honors in 1995. 3|10 Fred Vuich/SI No. 4: Yu Darvish Texas got their money's worth after winning the exclusive negotiating rights to Darvish by committing a $51.7 million posting fee prior to the 2012 season. The Rangers' ace has been an all-star for three seasons straight. Darvish went 13-9 with a 2.83 ERA in 2013 and led the majors in strikeouts with 277 strikeouts in 209 2/3 innings. 4|10 John Iacono/SI No. 5: Hiroki Kuroda The Dodgers signed the right-handed pitcher as a free agent before the 2008 season, and were rewarded with four solid seasons in which Kuroda made more than 30 starts three times and had a 3.46 ERA. In his first season with the Yankees in 2012, Kuroda won a career-high 16 games and has been a consistent starter for New York since. 5|10 Al Tielemans/SI No. 6: Koji Uehara The pitcher had a chance to come to the United States in 1998, but he passed on a reported $3 million offer from the Angels to sign with the Yomiuri Giants. But in 2009, he signed with the Orioles and reached the major leagues. In 2011 he was traded to the Rangers at midseason and helped them win the AL West. In 2013 Uehara shined with Boston, posting a 1.09 ERA in 74.1 innings and later saving seven postseason games, winning the ALCS MVP award en route to the Red Sox World Series victory. 6|10 Brad Mangin/SI No. 7: Takashi Saito The Dodgers found a golden oldie in Saito, who as a 36-year-old rookie led the team in saves with 24 in 2006. In his first six MLB seasons, playing for four teams, he posted a 2.18 ERA and made the NL All-Star team in 2007. 7|10 John W. McDonough/SI No. 8: Shigetoshi Hasegawa Coming on the heels of Nomo-mania, Hasegawa was the first player traded from Japan to the majors. Before the 1997 season, the Angels paid about $1 million to the Orix Blue Wave and $350,000 to Hasegawa, who was a starter in Japan but proved more useful as a reliever in the States, posting a 3.70 ERA in nine major league seasons. 8|10 Michael O'Neill/SI No. 9: Daisuke Matsuzaka The Boston Red Sox shocked the baseball world by bidding $51.1 million for his services via the Japanese posting system and then signing the former Seibu Lions ace to a six-year, $52 million contract. He won 15 games as a rookie and 18 in his second season but won just 17 over the following four years while battling injuries and ineffectiveness. 9|10 David Bergman/SI No. 10: Tomo Ohka The Red Sox purchased the 22-year old Ohka from the Yokohama BayStars in Nov. 1998. He pitched for five teams in his 10 major league seasons, throwing 1,070 total innings and going 51-68. 10|10 Next up More Sports The National Championship Chuckwagon Race is held every Labor Day weekend in Clinton, Arkansas. There are six classes of wagon races using mules or horses, pulling different types of wagons. As one of the largest equestrian gatherings in the country, it draws over 5000 horses and mules.

Well gym wasn't meant to be! I got there and discovered I didn't have my stuff with me! And I was hungry too..... sooo didn't happen! lol
MissWendy - Hope you get your pool run in! Good idea on a manual mower so you can still hear the kids! Yeah we have 3 kids, all have been making some type of move this spring/summer! I'm pooped! LOL on the spies at the gym!
I`m not sure how I feel about this but the NYC Half lottery results are out ... and so am I - out of the race that is - I didn`t make it. On some level with the hip issues I`ve been having it takes the pressure off - my LR at this point has only been 6 miles and the NYC race is end of July - while I could make the LR`s up I`ve also been lacking on the weekly milage - I have decided to see how I feel this week and if my hip recovers I may take a charity place and run for the fresh air fund.
Just back from my hour with my main trainer - had a quick flirt witht he EC on the way in ! - will do a little bike work later !
Joe - you better not run

Hi everyone,
I'm home! I don't actually do hangliding so it was a trip for DH really and I tagged along for the nights out. In the end he didn't get to fly anyway as the wind was too light and the only hill they went to was a tricky landing over power cables. Still we had a nice time relaxing and it was a really sunny day. I did try the sport once, and enjoyed it, but just not passionate about it enough to take it up.
Joe - Enjoy that afternoon off. I'm with the others on the MRI... get it done or else!!! Maybe we'll have to start thinking up punishments I guess not managing the gym was fate telling you to NOT DO IT!?!
Spicegeek - Great message to Joe! I couldn't have said it better myself! Good to hear that you had a great run with new RB. I've met someone locally i'm hoping to try running with sometime soon. Just got to fit it in sometime! I'm pleased to hear the EC is working you well I guess the NYC race was not meant to be, but there'll be loads more!
Andahuff - Great 12 miles! I think those rest days do work magic sometimes, but it feels a real strain not to run doesn't it. I'm not sure i've ever felt 'fresh' at the end of a 12 miles run LOL on the police escort!
Mary - Glad you managed to find time to get some runs in even with that hectic schedule. That date sounds lovely and my mouth is watering with the description of that pizza. Hope you got those 5 miles in... i'm up for some of those raspberries too!
TinkPink - Welcome! As everyone's said, try slowing down so that you can talk whilst running. Hopefully that will make it easier... over time you should be able to increase the running. Otherwise, you could try C25K to get you used to running rather than walking? It's a great program. Whatever you do, let us know how you get on!
Misswendy - Hope you get to do that pool running! Sounds interesting... Hey - how do ya work out how far you go Congrats on the amazing mileage. I think you deserve the day off running today.
Runjr - I got behind too... it's pretty easy with this thread! Some great runs I see with family. When's your next HM? Sounds to me like you're pretty much ready for it!
Kevin - Great 60 min run and pretty good pace seeing as you 'backed off'! Teenagers on fire? What's that all about?
Chuck - Great total for the week! Next time you don't want that Chinese, you can send it my way it's my favourite! You'll have to post some wisdom from the new book so that we can all go for a 4hr marathon!
Macd - LOL on the retirement plan! Congrats on the two miles... looks like you'll have to just keep running all the time rather than sitting at that desk - that way the knee will feel better?
OK - well i'm caught up the best I can! I managed a 6 mile run Sunday morning to top the week at 28.2 (didn't have enough time to run any further - dispite the half bottle of wine, several beers and late night, it went rather well!) and then this morning I got 6 miles of intervals in. I thought i'd struggle as i'd not had much sleep again, but it was a fab run at a 10mm overall pace and I felt so strong after. 6 miles easy tomorrow so hopefully that'll go ok.
Anyway - that's all from me so chat soon!

WOW.. you all are an awesome bunch I'm SO glad I stumbled across this thread.
Today was day 1 of the 3 month training plan for the Va Beach RnR 1/2. Well.. today's plan was to do 8 cycles of 3 min walk 1 min run.. I know for some of you, that's a cake walk.. well.. my first thread was how to run w/o dying!! Well I did it.. and didn't die! lol. Took everyone's advise and sloooowwwed down. Kept the pace around 3.5 and 4 mph for the walking and running and was able to complete the whole training session. Small steps right???
I'm sure after reading some more of your wonderful threads and getting to know you I'll pipe in on everyone's accomplishments and pains!!. I know someone was talking about Chinese food.. you can keep it.. but give me Sushi any day!.. less MSG.
Hey ILissa, That was me with the Chinese food and yes I agree with the sushi, I love it and my tummy handles it better also! Hey , you're doing great.The best thing about our little group is we all very in speeds and we still love each other and support each other. you're doing awesome. Way to slow down and get your workout in. Once you get into the longer miles you might even have to slow down again but thats fine, you'll do great come race day.
I went back for 50 mins on the bike and the EC ab workout !! runjr - I think you mentioned you had hip problems on and off - try this ab work out - I REALLY think it has helped me and the EC said he does it because he has hip problems too and it works the hip flexors
take a body bar - start off laying on the ground arms above your head - body bar in your hands legs slightly bent feet off the floor. Crunch up your upper and lower body keep your lower legs parallel to the ground bring your arms over your head pass the bar onto your ankles - open back out with body bar on your ankles - crunch back up retrieve the bar and open up to the original position. Your feet do not ever touch the ground. 3 sets 10 reps.
misswendy - you are totally bad a$$ !!! Actually thats one of my EC`s favorite compliments - I`ve got to rather like it !!!
runjr - wow you bruised you foot with your laces - yikes !! great runs with your ladies !!
kevee - nice 60 min run ! I would love to train with you one day - you run close to my pace
chuck - 20 in the week is still decent milage - and your 8 miler pace was awesome ! you are doing so great
macd - great 2 miles - don`t worry about pace - you are doing really well
Cara - I agree - NY just wasn`t meant to happen - its fine - fate has a way of working things out
TinkPink - yes we are awesome ! - and so are you !!! - great job today - while that may be a cake walk now for us we have all been where you are today and not that long ago - you are so right - small steps - they all add up - trust the training it will work - enjoy the journey in 3 months you`ll be looking back on today and you`ll be just amazed how far you come.

hi all, took Monday as a rest day. I am 16 weeks from the full marathon, I am going to start some of the training program next week but we will register later this week and once we register there is no turning back and the family will train for it. We are still undecided on the HM in Iowa but DD still wants to run it so hopefully we can do it, that is the last weekend in June.
kevee - good running and enjoy your day off today. Congrats on the DD's.
joe - I am still laughing over spicegeeks comments to you. It is good to have family around.
macd - great run. Glad to hear when you run that the knee feels good. As for the tightness after? That is a great question for your doctor or PT. Sometimes DD's nike+ is off up to a 1/4 mile depending on the run length and pace. Most of our runs though are closer like .1 miles or so.
misswendy - you were due for a rest day. Manual mower, that is impressive. With all the swimming you are doing how about a triathlon day? Swim in the neighbors pool, then ride your old bike you have from the 4th grade, and then run.
spicegeek - sorry to hear about the race. I agree until you get the hip issues resolved it is best. You are like Joe, you need to go get that hip checked.
cara - sounds like you had a good time on your trip. That is what you need another sport. lol. The next HM could be the last weekend in June. Going to sign up for the full marathon soon. Great miles last week.
thinkpink - you are correct, small steps. We all went through what you are experiencing. Just stick to it and eventually you will look back and be amazed.
take care all. Tempo run today, yeah that is my favorite. Hopefully the rain will be cooperative.

Morning all!
Spicegeek - Sorry to hear about you not making it into the NYC Half. However I understand what you mean about the hip issues taking the pressure off. Nope I didn't run!
Cara - Glad you had a nice trip! Great weekly mileage! And pretty good 6 mile run after that late night!
Ilissa - Congrats on your 1st day training for your half! BTW, have you checked out our Calender and Map? See the 1st post on this thread! Password to the Map is "hm". To add your event to the Calendar, just click on the date. Mmmmmm... Chinese Food! Um, you (and Chuck) can keep the sushi! lol
Runjr - Glad you had a good rest day. Countdown on to your full marathon! Stay injury free!
I better get back to work!!
hey yall
i ran 6m this morning in 1:02. hot hot hot.
i did not make my weight goal for may.
for june, i am trying to add a run or a crosstrain to make 6 days, but go along generally with the last 4 wks of a hm plan for a race end of june. i am also going to try speedwork just to figure out how to do it. i'm not sure if i should keep my weightloss goals. i'm not dealing with the discouragement very well.
we are playing with 'new' legos today. someone gave us his old ones from the 70s. still in the boxes!
joe...sorry the gym didnt happen yesterday. guess some girl had to do without her EC.
spicegeek....i'll bet you find another race soon.
chamblin....the distance run in the pool is measured by how much water splashes out....or you just go by time like my friend has been doing. wow 6m after a night of revelry! LOL
tinkpink...i like veggie sushi. i guess thats technically not sushi, but its yummy. speed is not the thing when training. just do the distance! you'll do great!
spicegeek...i just think i would die if some EC was even looking at my 'abs' (i use the term loosely) much less trying to help me fix them!
runjr....great job on the rest day. marathon in 16 weeks! how exciting!!! you are gonna have so much fun. are DD/DW going for the full? if one defines 'swimming' as 'sitting on the steps in the shallow end' then maybe i could do the tri. as for my 4th grade bike, well, it's probably someones coke can by now.
love to all
Joe - I'm with you on the sushi!
Ilisa - Way to get started! I'm a newbie too working towards my first half. Finished C25K a month or so ago where I struggled in the early going with those 1 minute runs. Ran 4 miles last night, my longest run to date so I figure I'm almost a 1/3 of the way there.
Kevin - Your advice to llisa was inspirational
andahuff - Loved the escort story!
Mary- It would be nice to have a running buddy. I run with DH sometimes but he is faster than I am though I am gaining ground. We usually walk together after we've finished our runs.
Miss Wendy - I hear you on the hot. It was almost 80 with really high humidity when I set out at 10:00 pm last night to run. Sounds like you are having a fun summer.
Mac - After running with the Garmin and the Nike+ for a couple of weeks I've realized that the Nike+ is never the same. It always shows that I've run more than I have. I think the faster I go, the closer it is but can ran from .04 to .12 per mile off. I count my mileage by the Garmin but still run with the Nike+ cause I like the music or book on tape and I like the goals and challenges on the Nike+.
Spicegeek - Any advice for getting rid of flabby upper arms since you are the resident fitness expert? I've lost about 50 lbs this year and am fitter than I have been in years. Have been doing some weight training and am please with the result except my upper arms are still gross!
A general question to all. As my runs are increasing in distance and time, I am wondering when I need to start thinking about carrying water. Thoughts?
Good morning all! I have a 40 min run to do this afternoon. Yeah I know, I like to run in the morning, but the 'laying in bed' felt a lot better this morning. LOL
Chuck, I'm glad you were able to get your 20 miles in for your week. Good luck on that training for a 4 hour marathon! Do you have a race in mind?
Joe, like I tell my kids; I'm your dad forever, not just til your 18. They'll be welcome to come back and stay anytime! Good for you AND DS!
Macd019, yeah, it was 80 degrees yesterday, NICE! Today it's back down in the 50's. Oh well, it feels great to run in. Congratulations on the 2 mile run!
Misswendy, yeah, and the UP side to a reel mower is it doesn't use as much gas! Good luck with that pool running!
Joe, it's just as well you didn't work out. I heard Spicegeek had all the equipment 'bugged'. LOL
Spicegeek, that's too bad not getting in to the NYC half. Maybe it is for the best though, there are other races, and there's always next year right?
Cara, It must've been nice to spend some quality time with DH! Hanglinding would make me barf! (my apologies to anyone on this thread named 'Barf' LOL). Congratulations on the runs and 28 miles for the week!
Illissa, better to stumble upon us than out on the road. LOL Congratulations really on Day 1! And those paces look real good too. I remember my coach telling me once; "you'd be surprised how slow you can run. Your neighbors'll think your crazy, but you will know you're TRAINING." You'll be surprised the progress you will make, just be patient.
Chuck, Great advice! But I can't speak for the sushi. LOL
Spicegeek, oh, the pain! I hurt just reading that! And you did that 30 times? I'll train with you as long as I don't have to do that ab exercise. I think I'd rather get beat up! LOL
Runjr, WooHoo! Good luck on the training for the full! You're so lucky the whole family is with you! Good luck with the tempo run today. You should be able to run 'in between' the drops.
Joe, good choice not to run. Did you make the call yet?...?...?...?...?
Misswendy, I see you snuck in while I was posting... Great job on the 6 miles today. It's still hot by you? It's cooled off here now for a couple of days. I didn't make my weight goal either. I want to lose 10 lbs, the only problem is those stupid 'Brat frys' LOL Actually, why not concentrate on one thing that you think you can do well. Your training maybe, and don't worry about the weight. Speedwork will definitely use up some calories. What kind of speedwork are you thinking of? Oh and playing with legos? That's some serious xtraining! LOL
GLBryan, Good job on the 4 mile run. As for the water, everyone's different, but I usually carry water with me on runs over 90 minutes (7-8 miles) (except for when I forget my hydration belt on the hotel room floor!) And I'll drink about every 3-4 miles. Of course that depends on the temps, and my overall hydration level. It always pays to drink plenty of water daily. About the only time I don't recommend drinking water is within an hour of the start of a race (listen to the water slosh around in your stomach while you are running LOL).
Yeah I better get back to work too! Good luck to everyone with your runs today!
Hi all!
spicegeek, sorry to hear about the NYC Half. I thought you were guaranteed a spot by doing the roadrunner (?) races, but maybe that's the Marathon? Anyway, as you say, with the hip and the short training timeframe it's not all bad. That body bar exercise sounds like a killer!
Cara, sounds like an great weekend, and some good runs too. I need to remind myself that a short night's sleep doesn't necessarily mean a bad run... I have this tendency to want to stay in bed and try to get more sleep
Ilissa, I don't have anything to add to others' advice except that for me, the biggest hurdles are mental. Think positive!
runjr, glad to hear you took a rest day! What full did you decide on?
joe, I think your subconscious thought your body didn't need to be at the gym. Too bad it can't make the call for that MRI
misswendy, try not to get discouraged about not meeting your weight goal. It is really hard to lose on any particular schedule, especially when it's a small amount of weight you're trying to lose. The goals I'm working on are eating healthier (and less), and not beating myself up when I slip up. Seems to be working well for now. Great run in the heat this morning! I don't know how you do it. You're doing another half at the end of the month? I don't suppose it's anywhere north of say, the Mason-Dixon line? I'm in awe of you southern runners; I truly don't handle the heat well at all. I keep meaning to ask if you have a good carrot cake recipe? DD#1 likes it (and will be home this weekend), but all the recipes I've tried have too much oil and/or sugar for me--too heavy & sweet.
Gayle, sounds like you and I are not that far off in our training, or wouldn't be had I not had this knee setback (well, that and you're faster...). My longest was 5 miles, just before the injury; I hope to be back to 3 in 2 weeks. I've been wondering about water, too, especially as the temps are rising. I think I'll just deal with the Nike+ being off, since it's been both long and short since I recalibrated it. I like those features you do, and at least the time is correct!
Kevin, the "laying in bed" felt pretty good to me this a.m. too... I had a walk with the dogs planned, and by the time I finally got up, only had enough time for a mile and a quarter. That was enough for them, too
it was about 65 and humid, their tongues were dragging. They give my arms & shoulders a workoutNOT in a good way--so I had had enough by then too.
Everyone have a good one!
MissWendy - Yep, it is very hot out!! LOL on the girl/EC! You too on the sushi??
Gayle - Glad you're question is about carrying water and not sushi! LOL However, I'd say anything 5 miles or longer.
Kevin - Have a great 40 min run today! Yep, know what you mean about the kids! Oh and thanks!! Now I did come up 3 flights of stairs rather than take the elevator this morning but, shhh don't Spicegeek!
Macd - Yeah, guess I gotta make that call myself, huh? lol
I am planning a 3 mile trot on the tread mill later I`ll make up the hour hour cardio on the rowing machine I think and do some ab work - if I can climb out from under the system crashes and other mess thats going on here ! - I hate when there is someone camped outside my office waiting for me to arrive at 8:00 am - pre coffee panics suck !
runjr - my hip is a million times better - I know what I did - I simply pushed too much - I have to remember I wasn`t back from the stress fracture long and my legs were not built back up when I ended up in surgery and out for another 4 weeks - I have decided to go back to basics - 1 month of 2 x 3 milers and 4 - 5 miles at the weekend - stop if there is even the slightest indication of a problem ! I`m also starting - care of my trainers to hit the legs with weight training
Joe - very glad to you didn`t run - when is the MRI ?
misswendy - LOL on the abs comment - let me tell you having EC watch you do yoga ball pikes ups is much more traumatic - the a$$ is is the air and chances of face planting are very high not to mention that the head upside thing means sweat drips onto the floor at said EC feet - he can watch my abs all he wants - they are pretty strong - if a little more insulated then we`d like
GL - I`m not sure about being the resident fitness expert - I just have a bunch of crazy but creative and brilliant trainers I work with !! congrats on the weight loss - I`m right there with you - I dropped 50lb too - I went through a phase of having saggy bits too - but things do tighten up - the basic key for weight training - you need to do lower weight / higher reps ( endurance ) to build long lean muscle and low reps higher weight for strength. Now - that doesn`t mean that you should be prancing about with 2lb dumb bells. - High reps are 12 - 15 reps low reps 8 - 10. Regardless of the high or low the last 2 or 3 reps of the last set ( you should be doing 3 sets ) should be a struggle but not to the point that you lose form. Rest between strength sets 2-3 mins - endurance 1:30 - 2 mins. You can super set - do a push exercise, pull - then rest - like a chest press and a row. For arms I like bicep curls, hammer curls, single arm tricep extensions, skull crushers ( Also called laying tricept extensions, or french presses ), dips, kickbacks and preacher curls. For the whole upper body - rows seated and bent over, chest presses - seated, benched or declined, shoulder presses, pushups, lat pull downs, pull ups, You can do rows and presses with resistance bands, flys, reverse flys, lateral raises, front raises.
Core work - crunches on anything, back externsions, leg raises, v ups, oblique crunches, twists,
Switch the exercises often so you and your body don`t get bored. Proper form - I can not stress how valuable a good trainer is - and a good trainer is knowledgeable AND someone you you connect with - you have to trust them, push youself - but be careful - anything where you are lifting a weight that is heavy for you get someone to spot you. One you have the exercise in it`s basic form you can challenge yourself by incorperating yoga balls, bosu`s resistance bands. You should also be trying to increase the weight you lift every 2 - 8 weeks depending on the exercise and the frequency or your workouts.
I like this site for basic form - they have a lot of descriptions and little videos
Make yourself a workout plan before you start - note the reps and weights you lift so you can track progress. do multi join exercises first - like rows and chest presses - and single joint - like curls last.
Warm up with a movement prep before you start and stretch when you are done !
Here is a basic example of my Sat upper body work out - but I switch it about a lot - I left the exercises very generic - pick the way you like to do them - for example - I can do a chest press with dumbells with my back braced on a yoga ball - with the olympic chest press bar laying on a bench - on the seated chest press machine, standing with my resistance bands and adding a lunge into the mix at the same time, ... or with a plain old push up ! start with what you are comfortable with and can manage - and work your way to the "what in the world in she up to" ones !!!
warm up
shoulder and back movement prep - no weights - look at this link - the Y T W L prehabs - run thro twice
20 knee drops and 20 scorpion stretches
russian twists, chops and diagonal chops ( I use a 10lb ball- start lighter 4lbs is good ) - 3 sets 10 reps work up to no break between sets
super set 1
Chest press
1 min plank or jump rope, or balance board or jumping jacks or 20 alternating step ups
super set 2
Shoulder press
lat pull down
side planks ( or as above )
super set 3
tri ext
lateral raises
super set 4
front raises
reverse flys
I`ll finish up with back and abs
that was possibly much more information than you ever wanted ! ... sorry

I'm having a problem getting the bar to show at all. My site is an MU site, I have tried activating the plugin across the network AND activating it on just one of the sites at a time but still no joy.
