Hi all - just wondering if anyone is planning on racing the half-ironman in Rhode Island this summer. It would fit well into my schedule (although I'd have to miss one of Hugh's training tri's), but between the race fee, hotel, gas, and the hassle of driving I-95, it's a good deal of time and expense.
Not planning on it, but I raced it last year. That drive KILLS. The race itself was great, and Providence is beautiful. Lots of huge hills. I highly suggest staying an extra day to recoup and having at least one person with you.
Raced it the last two years. Last year, they improved race logistics over the first year and it is a little of a pain with the two transition areas. It is supposed to be a calm swim, but the water was rough the first two years due to the weather. The bike is flat for the first part, hilly in the middle miles and then somewhat downhill heading into T2. The run has a major hill about mile 1 in which you run twice. Definitely worth racing (and yes, the drive sucks). However I am not doing it this year because IMLP is later in July.
I am registered for RI 70.3. I will likely be driving and plan on breaking the trip up or at least going up way before. I will take the week before off and the week after. I am bringing my 9 yo daughter and have friends in RI that have agreed to watch her for the day. Also will stay on to visit my sister in Providence. Driving does suck - but only alternative is flying and shipping the bike which is a bigger pain.
PS. Thanks for the race analysis - this will be my first 70.3.
I'm racing this year. Its my first 70.3. I think I'm gonna fly.
All this talk makes me tempted, though my current plan does not have me attempting a half until the fall and I don't know if I will be ready. Whatever the case, a few comments:
1. its seriously not that far of a drive. For the hassle of shipping your bike and everything, I would say- definitely not worth it to fly. Besides, this race starts and finishes in different parts of the state I believe and thats just a pain in the ass if you don't have your car. It will take you probably 7 hours- just make like I do and drive in the middle of the night so you can avoid hitting rush hour in all the major cities- Baltimore, the Delaware bridge, NJ, nyc, etc. I sort of consider myself an expert, having made this drive many times a year for the last 5 years or so.
Also, get an ezpass if you don't have one. stopping at the tolls is a pain in the ass and wastes time. Do expect it to be expensive- I haven't calculated in a while, but a couple of years ago it was around $27 in tolls headed north and $17 headed south. Probably add 5 bucks to each of those by now.
2. Providence is pretty neat- but the beach area (Narragansett for example) is a lot better. If you want to make a vacation out of it, I suggest just renting a beach house. RI has some of the best beaches ever. But then again, I am biased. I grew up on those beaches.
3. My family and a lot of friends still live there so its conceivable that I could see if anyone wants to put up a couple of people if you need lodging.
Excellent advice. Thanks.
Hi Everyone,
I decided to sign up for RI 70.3. I'm looking to share a room with someone to help save costs. If anyone is interested please let me know. Also, I'm trying to figure out logistics. I may end up shipping my bike but have never done this before. I've always put it on the flight with me. This may end up costing a lot of money. I might take the train....only way you can take a bike with you is to go at 10pm and travel overnight so an option, but sucks if you can't sleep! The case has to weigh under 50 lbs.
Let me know any pointers on shipping bikes or about sharing rooms!
I went on vacation once and shipped my bike in a bike box via UPS. Wonder if there is a bike store up there that one could arrange to accept delivery. UPS insures unlike the airlines. UPS will also come pick it up to ship back as well.
I looked at the TriTransport website that arranges for bike shipments, but it does not look like they are covering Providence 70.3. I would entertain this option if offered. Maybe we should all email them and start a lobbying campaign.
Yeah they have prices listed on the RI website for receiving the bike, putting it together and then packing it up. I guess shipping would be another extra cost. Might be cheaper just to fly with my bike. Sucks tritransport isn't involved. Wonder why? Maybe not enough people??
Those of you who have raced this before....did you have a car to get to T1 which is 45 min. away from the finish? I emailed and they said they have a shuttle out there race morning but you have to have dropped your bike off the day before. They didn't say anything about getting back out there after the race either. Kind of odd logistics. Any suggestions??
Hi all - Providence 70.3 was my first half ironman and it was awesome. I saw Glenn and Courtney on the course and one undisclosed DC Trier - sorry did not catch your name. I would totally do this again next year - great organization (despite the separate t1 and t2) and nice finish festival and expo - I bought tons of stuff! The hills on the bike were not as bad as Columbia - but of course it was a longer course with a head wind all the way to Providence. The only bike hill that could rival Columbia was the hill at mile 45 a straight vertical climb late in the course - but alas it can be conquered. The run was hot and hilly - but I did not care once I got to the run. This was my first ocean swim and I felt like I had eaten a bag of pretzels when I got out of the water.
Super nice finisher medal and a cap too! (Yes I am all about the goods!)
Sorry this is a bit long...figured if anyone is interested in doing this next year, you might want to read so you are aware of the logistics etc.
I've been very bad at writing race reports so figured I should write this one up before I put it off. This 70.3 trip started out on Friday morning before the race. I rode up with some friends from Team Z and met up with a few others from DC Tri in Providence. We took our time getting there and with four stops we got there in about 9 hours. Just in time to make it to registration and packet pick-up. The next day was filled with a lot of running around because of the crazy logistics to get everything ready to go for race day. I expected this and wasn't too annoyed. We went back to the Convention Center to get some race goodies and listen to the 'mandatory' race meeting. After that, it was time to drive 45 minutes out to Narragansett, where the race would start on Sunday. This is where the bikes had to be racked. I took my bike for a quick 15 minute spin and then ran for 10 min. to see how my legs were feeling. I had been nursing a sore hamstring/glute since before Eagleman. Today it was feeling pretty good. After we got done with the bike racking, we got some lunch at a seafood restaurant by the water. Now, as you will see later in my report, I may have made a huge mistake with the choice of food I had for lunch. I decided that a huge tuna steak sounded delicious. I had text my boyfriend Ron, to tell him we were getting some good seafood, and he warned me to be careful of eating fish. I thought I'd be ok and went with the tuna steak anyway. Hmmmm might not have been the greatest decision.
After we ate, we had to drive back to Providence, pack our run gear bag and walk to T2 about a half mile away. My cousin lives only a half hour away from Providence, so she came down to hang out with me for awhile. After hanging out a bit, it was time for me to get all my other race bags ready and get to bed. Since the race started at 6:30am, we had to be at the bus stop by 4am. This meant wake-up time at 3:00 am! Holy crap!
Race morning came with a burst of panic! Our alarm clocks didn't go off and we had not called for a wake-up call. Melissa woke up at 3:30 asking if it was really time to get up. For some reason, both of our phones had stopped at midnight? (I'm still baffled at what happened) and 3am never came. The guys were next door and at 3:40 I heard the knock on the door. It was time to go and my nutrition was not ready! My friends helped me fill my water bottles and then we were off to the bus stop a few blocks away. Thank you Melissa for waking up to the noise outside the room!! We got on the bus and were out to the start around 5:00.
This race has what is called a 'clean transition', which means you can't have anything touching the ground but the tire of your bike. Everything else had to either be placed on the bike or in the bike/swim bag we were given. T1 closed about 5:45 since the race started at 6:00. I had everything ready to go, put my wetsuit half way on, stood in line for the bathroom and then lined up with my age group. Our swim wave started at 6:25. Right before the gun went off to start, one of my favorite songs came on. "All the Single Ladies" was blaring and it made me think that it was going to be a great race. I smiled, bounced around to the beat a little bit and it was time to start. Since this was a beach start, everyone ran into the ocean with a few doing dolphin dives into the waves. I am not comfortable swimming in the ocean so was very cautious to not get my heart rate up too high before settling into my swim. It was a little rough getting through the breaking waves at the start. I have to admit, I got a little panicked with the rocking motion and current. I settled myself down, telling myself to just keep swimming and I'll finally get into my groove. Well, that groove never really happened until the halfway turn. And then it didn't even seem like the waves were pushing back me in too much. I have changed up my stroke/breathing ever since going through Total Immersion, and have been breathing every three strokes. Since it was so choppy and we had the waves, I decided to breathe just to the right side every other stroke. That's the only way I could make myself feel comfortable. I finally see the finish of the swim and start picking up my pace a bit. I know my swim is always a bit slow, but I was a little disappointed when I saw my time b/c I was trying to at least swim around 37-38 min. Once out of the water, the wetsuit strippers were just ahead. I had been looking forward to not having to take it off myself! I seem to have a problem with that and it slows my T1 down. I ran to the first two volunteers available, sat down, and swoosh, my wetsuit was stripped off. It was a fairly long run from the water to the bikes. I felt a little dizzy from swimming in the waves but expected that.
Swim: 41 min.
The dizziness subsided, but when I got on the bike my quads felt a little tired. There was also a headwind and unfortunately, it didn't stop for most of the ride. I had read race reports and expected the rolling hills, steep hill at mile 45 and then the bumpy roads the last five miles. I did not expect the false flat the first 20 miles when someone wrote the first 20 were 'flat'. Unfortunately, I had not spent much time training on the hills and had been training on flats for Eagleman. My goals for the race changed during the bike. I originally signed up for this race to try to go for a Clearwater slot. I know now, I totally misjudged this course! If anyone goes up to be a spectator next year, position yourself along the last five miles of this course. You will be able to collect tons of water bottles, co2 cartridges and expensive carbon bottle holders! ;) Very rough!
Bike: 2:56:41
Once I got to T2 I knew my legs were probably shot from the hilly bike course. I still tried to race it like it was a flat. The first mile of the run was great and everything else went downhill from there. Right after mile 1 is a steep hill that is easier to just walk up. Since it was two loops you had to do this twice. After the second loop, I started to have bad stomach issues. I had to wait for two other athletes to get into the bathroom at mile 7.5. From there to the finish, it was brutal for me. Besides the GI issues, my back issue kicked in from the hilly bike. I could feel a twinge of pain in my lower back and hamstring with each step. I thought about walking the last three miles but just kept jogging, walking through the water stops. Finally, the finish line was in site and unfortunately had to spend the next hour in and out of the bathroom. ?
Run: 1:55:21 Finish: 5:38:42
I admit I was pretty hard on myself after this race since I set such a high goal set for myself (5 hours) but I came away with a few lessons learned. Don't just look at a course online and think you can race it fast; train for hills if you are racing a hilly race ;); and don't eat a huge ass tuna steak the day before a race! ? I'm very thankful my friend, Rodrigo, was there to be sure I was ok after the finish. He was going to make me go to the medical tent, but the Imodium finally worked and made me feel better. It was also nice to see several other DC Tri folks on the course! Volunteers and race support were great! I'm disappointed I didn't take more time to enjoy the scenery on the bike course, since at the time I was so caught up in trying to keep my goal pace. It was just a rough day for me on a challenging course.
Great race report and fantastic time up there in RI. Usually, when I need to wake up for a race I set my watch, my cell phone and my clock (plus, always get the wake up call). I figure with 2-3 alarms going that there is no way I would over sleep.
That swim was alittle choppy. I liked the ride except for those last 5 miles of New Englands style potholes and train tracks. I too saw the carbon X-wing dble waterbottle cage. That hill up to Brown Univesity was a mean one, I think it got steeper the second time. I would do this race again. The "clean transition" was alittle different. I thought the water stops were great, chuck full of everything you could need.
Congrats Cortney for powering through. You are a superstar!

Talk to me if you want, I'll respond if I can --Coolquiorra (talk) 04:09, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
Welcome to the Rurouni Kenshin Wiki! First, let me thank you for your edits and your enthusiasm for improving the site. It's come a long way since I took it over, but it still has a long, long way to go, so any help is very much appreciated. While the goal of this site is to be as thorough and comprehensive as possible, let me start by saying that our procedures here will not be exactly like some wikia sites you may be used to. In keeping with Japanese style (for both an authentic feel and because this series has a staunchly Japanese setting) characters' names are to be listed with the family name first and the given name second (i.e. Himura Kenshin) and (with the sole exception of the word Rurouni, since its written that way in the title) all "ou" and "uu" clusters are to be replaced with ō and ū, respectively (and Ō if you need it capitalized). Each character page (if the relevant information is available) will consist of a section for "Appearance", "Personality", "Relationships", "Abilities", "History" and "Development & Reception", in that order; a "Trivia" section may be added at the end if there is information that doesn't fit into any previous section. If you intend to create pages for chapters and/or episodes, please note that a standard for chapters is already in place and merely needs to be followed and that pages for manga chapters are to be titled simply "Act 1" and episodes, "Episode 1" - their actual titles will be listed in the article and not on the page header. I noticed your interest in standardizing primary character images and, while I understand that sentiment, for this site, we will be focusing on whether the image properly represents the character (both in design and demeanor) rather than whether they all match perfectly. Of course, only canon images will be allowed, but - since all the images are based off Watsuki's art style - we have some leeway between manga art, OVA art, video game art and anime art. Color pictures are always preferred, but don't let yourself fall into the concept that anime pictures will always be most suitable, because often, they are not. Weapons will have their own individual pages, but specific attacks will be listed under the style or school to which they belong (i.e. an individual attack will only have its own page if it is the only known attack of its martial arts style or if that martial arts style is unnamed. As far as parts of the site that need work, we need to add character pages for several secondary characters from the manga and the non-canon episodes of the anime and a number of pages could use the addition of character infoboxes, the standard template for which can be found here: Template:Charabox. I'll be adding information when I have the opportunity, but will also be rewriting existing pages and amending spelling and grammar throughout the site. I have what some might consider a demanding style of writing and editing, so please don't take it personally if an edit you've made is altered or reverted. If you have any questions, suggestions or discussion points, feel free to leave them on my talk page. I like your name, by the way. ^^ CorbeauKarasu (talk) 06:10, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
Okay thanks for all the pointers. One question, on the pictures, you seem to use the kanzenban images often for profiles. Is this what you prefer if there is a kanzenban image for said character/group? --Coolquiorra (talk) 13:31, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
For the long volwels, I just copy and paste them to where I need them, which is why I put them on your talk page for your convenience, but I guess you've figured that out. As for the kanzenban images, I only use them where they seem like the most appropriate character image. A lot of the time, they serve as very good representations of the characters (Yahiko's anime images all depict him as very tanned and dressed in yellow while the color manga images never suggest his complexion is darker than usual and often show him wearing green), but in some cases, normal anime pictures or color manga images fit better (Kenshin's kanzenban image is pretty good, but some other pictures represent him better; Kaoru and Sojiro's pictures depict them in a far more angular capacity than they ever appeared elsewhere, so I opted for different images). CorbeauKarasu (talk) 18:55, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
I'm not inclined to change the background, but what do you mean? CorbeauKarasu (talk) 23:41, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
I've notices that on a few pages. You use the "Visual" tag while editing, right? I usually use the "Source" tag, which lets me see more basic building blocks of each page. on pages where you see the boldness reversed, it's because the Infobox has been accidentally inserted inside the code that bolds the first few words of the article (ie, the character name). This breaks up the code and causes the article to begin bolding right after the name instead of ending the bolding after the name. And since there is no third bolding mark, the bolding continues for the rest of the article. CorbeauKarasu (talk) 17:48, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

Syracuse, N.Y. -- The first stretch of an information highway that will let Syracuse area hospitals, insurers and doctors exchange electronic patient records is nearing completion.
A group that's been planning the project for five years said Monday the network, called HealtheConnections, will help transform the way medical care is delivered in Central New York.
Orrin B. MacMurray, president of the Health Advancement Collaborative of Central New York, a coalition of area businesses, hospitals, doctors and insurers, said the availability of electronic information will help eliminate costly duplicative medical tests and potentially reduce health care spending in the region by at least $20 million a year.
"This is one of those rare times when we can do something good for society and reduce the cost of health care," said MacMurray, who is chairman of C&S Companies, a North Syracuse engineering company.
MacMurray and others involved in the project announced the launch of HealtheConnections at a news conference today at C&S. Rep. Dan Maffei, D-DeWitt, announced the federal government will provide $900,000 for the project. That's on top of $2.1 million already provided by the state and $350,000 in local corporate contributions from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, MVP Health Care and National Grid.
Community General, Crouse, St. Joseph's and Upstate University hospitals will be connected to the network by September. By February, five large doctors' practices and the Laboratory Alliance of CNY will be linked. The network plans to eventually expand to Oswego, Auburn, Utica, Cortland and Ithaca.
The network and participating providers must abide by federal and state laws protecting the privacy of personal health information. Providers can only exchange a patient's health information if the patient has given prior consent. The exception will be emergencies where a patient is not physically able to provide consent.
UnitedHealthcare is the only major insurer in the area not participating. "We are disappointed UnitedHealthcare has not seen the benefit that this will bring to our community," MacMurray said. UnitedHealthcare officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
To pay for the network's operating costs, a new charge will be imposed every time a patient is discharged from the hospital. Insurers will collect that charge on behalf of HealtheConnections. The collaborative estimated that charge will cost health plan members about 30 cents each month.
MacMurray said the savings achieved by the network will lead to either health insurance premium decreases or smaller premium increases.
Dr. David Duggan, Upstate University's quality officer, said electronic records will be particularly helpful in emergencies and when caring for patients sent to Syracuse from outlying hospitals. "It will allow physicians to have access to patients' records regardless of where they were seen last," he said.
Ron Lagoe, executive director of the Hospital Executive Council, a Syracuse hospital planning agency, said the availability of electronic patient information alone will not lead to lower cost and better patient care. The technology has to be accompanied by financial and management incentives that encourage doctors and other providers to change the way they practice, he said.
"It takes more than just the data to produce the changes," he said.

Soon and then some there's the sound of a car approaching 'n she whispers
You're lost, 'n found what you're looking for, I hope
So take me down, we'll see 'bout that
Keep 'em looking back for the rat
Like stairs on that motel parking lot
You tell them you're grungy, you tell 'em sweet
Years pass by, looking older now
Two shots of broke, why tax it?
Get outta the car, incarcerated
A year goes by so slow
Two years, he's having fun
Times fly, but that gets old after a while
Five years, it's the end of the line
'Cause there you have to beat the rhythm by the bands
Spend life down there and then they'll made us
And all we gonna see is a silver lining, cloud those and then the Sun stops shining
(Long Instrumental)
You stare into your drink while having shots
Finally out
No one's waiting for you at the gate
Two years, all you knew has passed and moved away
Five years, it's gettin' darker every day
Ironic, it's not that light inside
Cause there you have to beat the rhythm by the bands
Spend life down there and then they'll made us
And all we gonna see is a silver lining, cloud those and then the Sun stops shining
Days, movin' towards the night
Words look empty, colors fade
It's hard to stay on track
Cut to black

SOUTH HADLEY – On March 6, Winston Lavallee and Eric Sarrazin will compete in the town election for a seat on the School Committee. It will be the only race on the ballot. All other positions are uncontested.
Those running unopposed include Edward J. Ryan Jr. for town moderator, Carlene Hamlin for clerk-treasurer, Marilyn Ishler and John R. Hine for selectboard, and Joan Rosner and Melissa O'Brien for Planning Board.
The town election is usually held in April, but was changed to March 6 to coincide with the presidential primary as a cost-saving measure.
Sarrazin, a lifelong resident of South Hadley, has a 6-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter in the South Hadley schools. His wife, Theresa Sarrazin, has worked at South Hadley High School and at Town Hall.
"I have a vested interest in the town," said Sarrazin. "My father worked for the electric light department for 30 years.
"I would like to have my voice heard, not only for the betterment of my family, but also for the entire community. I want to immerse myself in everything that relates to the school system."
Sarrazin said he is especially interested in the proposed new school building for grades K-2 that would replace Plains School on Route 202.
He said his financial background would make him useful on the committee in budget-related matters.
Sarrazin is a relationship manager at MassMutual. He was educated at South Hadley High School and the University of Massachusetts.
Lavallee is retired as vice president at Holyoke Community College. He and his wife, Margaret, are parents of four grown children who went through the South Hadley school system.
A former professor trained in biology, Lavallee is the author of two novels. His third novel, "Hitch," is forthcoming. It's about life in the Army.
Lavallee said that, especially with a new superintendent coming on board, he is running for the School Committee to help ensure the highest academic standards for students.
"They are not necessarily going on to college," said Lavallee, "but they are all going to have to get jobs. I want to make sure they have a chance to go into programs after graduation that will prepare them for the workforce.
"The thing I'm very concerned about is reducing the rate of high school dropouts," said Lavallee, who also expressed interest in the movement to have colleges work with high schools for purposes of easing the transition.
Whoever wins the election will fill out the remainder of the three-year term of Dr. Robert Abrams, who withdrew from the committee for health reasons soon after he was elected in April 2011. There are two years left to serve.
Kevin McAllister was appointed to replace Abrams in September. In this election, he is running unopposed for the School Committee seat of Lorraine Liantonio, who is retiring from the committee.
South Hadley residents Winston Lavallee, Eric Sarrazin compete for spot on School Committee in town election
on February 25, 2012 at 3:00 PM
SOUTH HADLEY – On March 6, Winston Lavallee and Eric Sarrazin will compete in the town election for a seat on the School Committee. It will be the only race on the ballot. All other positions are uncontested.

TUESDAY, Nov. 20 (HealthDay News) — Statistics show that lung cancer kills about 160,000 people a year in the United States and is the country's leading cause of cancer death, but there are steps people can take to reduce their risk, an expert advises.
Lung cancer causes more deaths than colon, breast and prostate cancer combined, according to the American Lung Association.
Therefore, people should learn the facts about lung cancer and simple ways to reduce their risk, Dr. Bruce Johnson, director of the Lowe Center for Thoracic Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, said in a news release from the institute.
Smoking is the greatest risk factor for lung cancer, but nonsmokers account for 10 to 15 percent of lung cancer cases, he noted. It's important for everyone to know the symptoms of lung cancer because early detection can lead to better outcomes.
Symptoms can include: a cough that doesn't go away; shortness of breath; back and shoulder pain; and coughing up blood. People with these symptoms should see their doctor, Johnson advised.
Lung cancer can be difficult to detect but recent research suggests that low-dose CT scans can detect tumors at an earlier stage in people at high risk for lung cancer. This type of screening is recommended for people aged 55 to 74 who have smoked a pack a day for 30 years and quit less than 15 years ago.
Advances in the last decade have led to new targeted therapies that offer more treatment options for lung cancer patients.
"The identification of genetic alterations — such as EGFR and ALK — make the tumors more likely to respond to certain targeted drugs that can be taken in pill form and have fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy," Johnson said in the news release.
"The most important thing a person can do to avoid lung cancer is to never start smoking," but smokers who quit begin to reduce their risks for lung cancer and heart attack within weeks, Johnson noted.
"People who stop and remain a nonsmoker for at least 10 to 20 years can cut their risk of developing lung cancer by 50 to 75 percent," he said.
More information
The U.S. National Cancer Institute has more about lung cancer prevention.

Ray has lived a rough life. You can see it in her heavily lined eyes, her bleary, makeup-free face and her well-worn hands. When she speaks, it's often to apologize (for not having enough money; for not knowing what to do), or to beg (for a full-time job at the bargain store where she works; for a little more time to make that next payment).
In the shabby trailer in which Ray and her two boys are temporarily holed up, popcorn is sometimes a main course on the dinner table, and Ray has to scrounge around in the cushions of her couch to find lunch money for the kids. In northern New York state, opportunities are hard to find and good luck is even more elusive.
Writer-director Courtney Hunt's FROZEN RIVER reveals all these details early on, and viewers might suspect they're about to watch a downbeat, slice-of-life soap opera. But RIVER takes an unexpected turn when Ray stumbles into a new hobby: smuggling illegal aliens from Canada into the U.S.
The key to the operation is the local Mohawk reservation, which stretches across the border between the two countries. A river divides the two sides but, as Ray's partner Lila Littlewolf points out, in the winter you can carefully drive across the thick ice and transport the passengers you've stashed in the trunk across international lines. Lila sets up the jobs, Ray does the driving and they split the money.
As Ray and Lila's missions mount up, Hunt skillfully builds plenty of suspense. But the performances of Melissa Leo and Misty Upham ensure that RIVER is more than just a tense thriller.
Leo immerses herself (and the audience) in Ray's permanently overcast world, in which every new day seems to bring more of the same: money problems, arguments with her teenage son, fruitless searches for her runaway husband. Leo knows everything about this woman, from her tattooed toe-ring to the weary crackle in her voice, and she makes it crystal-clear why Ray would take such hair-raising risks in the hope of improving her family's standard of living.
As the initially curt Lila, Upham manages to spell out many things about her character without saying much at all. She's wholly believable as a woman who drifts along from one disappointment to another, hiding her disillusionment behind stern looks and an aloof attitude.
Hunt surrounds Upham and Leo's frank, affecting work with an atmosphere heavy with frustration and desperation. Telling details are scattered throughout the story, such as the exotic bath salts and body washes that Ray buys and then leaves untouched on the shelves of her bathroom. Unlike some supposedly socially conscious filmmakers who seem to take a pervasive delight in making characters like Ray and Lila suffer in order to show us how terrible life can be, Hunt doesn't push the potential melodrama in this piece: She simply lets these women do what they feel they need to do in order to keep on going a little while longer and, whether you approve of their actions or not, there's never any question why they keep crossing that river.

Deployment Childcare is Hard for All
In the United States, nearly four million small businesses are owned by military veterans. The success rate of these start-ups is high in comparison to other business start-ups. If you're a veteran, or close to retirement, or entering the Transition Assistance Program (TAP), you might want to think about opening a small business. The information in this article will help you learn more about how the Small Business Administration (SBA) can help you become an entrepreneur.
Start by going to the SBA website for information. Many SBA programs have information specific to military veterans, including the following:
Small businesses may need financing because the owner or key employees have been called to active duty. In addition, returning veterans may need financing to expand an existing business or start a new one. The SBA's loan programs can help provide financing for veterans with small businesses that may not be available through other channels.
If a call to duty requires that the day-to-day management of a company be transferred to a person other than the one to whom the original certification was granted, the transfer will not disqualify the firm from program participation. Visit the SBA's 8abd site to find out more.
If a call to duty means that a firm can't complete a grant's objectives within the original timeline, that timeline can be extended. See the Small Business Innovations Research site for more information.
Individuals who are employed by HUBZone firms and called to military service will continue to be counted as employees when calculating the 35 percent HUBZone residency requirement or determining the firm's principal office - assuming they continue to be employed by the firm.

Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti) (Italian (Venetian), 1519 - 1594)
Jacopo Robusti was nicknamed Tintoretto 'little dyer' after his father who was a cloth dyer. He became one of the most prolific artists in Venice, specialising in large-scale religious narrative scenes, altarpieces, mythological subjects and portraits. His striking compositions often defied convention through exaggerated perspective and bold foreshortening of figures, and his quick work was sometimes criticized for its lack of finish. He may have trained with Titian for a short time. Tintoretto ran his busy workshop as a family business employing two sons and a daughter.

To the editor of THE EAGLE:
I see. Any piece that hints at some sympathy for the Palestinians is not getting published. No balance on this issue, only sympathy for Israel like that lugubrious piece by the Williams College chaplain last week ("Imagining peace," August 5 op-ed.).
Please note that anti-Semitism is alive and well again in Europe. See Roger Cohen's piece in the August 3 New York Times. And I'm guessing we're going to see a shift in that direction here with the kind of uncritical pro-Israel reporting we're getting.

Louis Leterrier Would Do Hulk Sequel – More Likely To Happen Now?
- By
- 31 Comments
Today has been a big day for Marvel.
If you haven't already heard, Marvel was acquired by Disney this morning in a massive $4 Billion agreement.
Looking at this optimistically, what that may simply mean for Marvel Studios, is more financial support and marketing resources to (hopefully) push into development more feature film projects. Perhaps, this could even fast-track some projects that are being considered for years down the road… perhaps a sequel to The Incredible Hulk?
The last we heard from Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier was his idea for an Avengers quadrilogy of films – something he wants to be a part of along with the directors of each of the other Marvel Studios solo films. Part of his idea is to have each director helm a chapter of the series of Avengers movies and they could all release within a relatively short window.
At the time, Leterrier also reflected on how much a challenge it was making The Incredible Hulk and hinted that he'd rather work with a different superhero next time around.
"Hulk was such a challenge. It was to reboot something and follow [the Ang Lee-directed 2003 "Hulk"] movie that was absolutely adored by part of the fan population and then absolutely hated by another part. It was complicated for me. I wasn't sure what to do with that history. I did my Hulk but it was not easy. If I do another Hulk film it will always be compared to the Ang Lee thing, and my first one … if I come back I'd love to do another superhero, something different that I can really put my touch on."
Now it seems that he's much more open to working on The Incredible Hulk 2, perhaps knowing that he's likely not going to get another different Marvel gig before it. He did a great job with the Hulk reboot and fit it nicely into the shared Marvel film universe.
In speaking with Moviehole the other day (prior to the Disney acquisition announcement), Leterrier had great things to say about his leading actor and about the potential of his involvement in a sequel.
"Yeah, he's a great actor and a great Hulk… Sure. I'd return to it. I have some ideas. So many ideas for so many things."
I really enjoyed The Incredible Hulk and Leterrier made a solid film on a character that's not as appealing in live-action to movie-going audiences compared to other notable comic book heroes. It deserves a sequel in my mind and if they could cut down on the budget requirements for it, I think it's an easy money-maker for Disney/Marvel.
What I really want to see though, as I've noted time and time again, is for Ed Norton to reprise the role of Bruce Banner in The Avengers. Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk were the first two films produced by Marvel Studios as an independent production house and they crossed-over very well, both leading into future solo films and the Avengers team-up. To not bring in Mr. Norton would be such a disappointment and a waste.
There's still that rumor going around that Norton could appear in Iron Man 2 – I can't even describe how awesome that would be, and how happy that would make me as a fan who's hopeful of Marvel's plan leading up to The Avengers.
On that note, director Louis Leterrier is contracted for one more film with the studio and with Disney purchasing Marvel (and hence, Marvel Studios) this means more financing for films – and therefore, an immediate increase in production capacity for the studio. This was something that was mentioned by Marvel President of Production, Kevin Feige, in hopes that it could happen five or so years down the road.
Does this mean we'll get an early greenlight on a sequel to The Incredible Hulk? There's been plenty of talk about a sequel but with it, clarification that it wouldn't occur until after The Avengers. Perhaps now with Disney's support, they can move some of those in-development films up.
In addition to Leterrier's two-picture contract with Marvel Studios, the talented actor behind Hulk's latest villain, Tim Roth, is also contracted with a multi-picture deal – specifically, three films. A few weeks back, Roth hinted at being contacted about participating in something again but was very tight-lipped about it.
At the time, many thought he could simply be one of the few/many villains of The Avengers or perhaps that he'd have a small role as a cameo villain in another Marvel solo flick coming up. Could it be that it's now more likely he'll be back in a Hulk sequel along with The Leader whom they introduced at the end of the last film.
Would you like to see The Incredible Hulk 2, Ed Norton back as Bruce Banner, and Leterrier in the director's chair again?
Stay tuned in to Screen Rant for more on The Incredible Hulk, Marvel Studios and other potential projects that could be affected by the recent ownership shift!

Dodgers 3, Mets 2: Three Up, Three Down
One step forward, one step back. One step forward, one step back.
Three Up:
1. RHP Jeremy Hefner: A nice rebound for a starting pitcher who sorely needed it. The Mets would have done well to take better advantage of Hefner's day, but can at least hope it's the start of better things to come.
2. SS Ruben Tejada: If defense can slump, Tejada is currently on fire with the glove. But his greatest contribution Thursday may have come on the bases, where he deftly scrambled to third on a wild pitch in the third, allowing David Wright to hit a game-tying sacrifice fly.
3. 2B Daniel Murphy: Murphy continues to show a knack for fortitude when it counts, singling to further a rally in the sixth inning and walking to advance another rally in the eighth. You'd still like to see more power from Murphy, but he's a good bat to have with the game on the line.
Three Down:
1. 3B David Wright: If nothing else, Wright has to advance the lead runner to third base with two men on and no outs in the eighth. He did not, and the Mets did not score. The rest, as Howie says, is in the books.
2. LHP Scott Rice: Rice had been playing with fire with free passes all season, but it was actually a leadoff double to a right-handed hitter that did him in Thursday. The Dodgers played ABC baseball from there, moving Nick Punto over on a groundout and scoring him on a single.
3. C Anthony Recker: Recker's job is extremely difficult, coming off the bench to play no more than once a week. Still, he failed to put the ball in play twice in three at-bats Thursday, which — rust or not — won't earn him any additional playing time.
Three Up, Three Down Season Standings:

by Jeff Miller of Artisan Family of Wines (Seven Artisans, Sly Dog Cellars, Red Côte)
Every Wednesday I post my recommendations of the best of last week's postings concerning wine, whether blogs or news. I list them in the order I read them, so you shouldn't infer anything about the order in which I list these posts.
The App that Will Revolutionize Your Wine Tasting
I can't tell if this is a practical joke or for real.
That Poopy Smell In Your Wine…It's All Good
The essence of this post addresses the question: what is a flaw? I personally don't like brett in wine, but other people do. And it's not as simple as saying whether Brett is in the wine, because Brett takes on various guises. It can be spicy, or it can be barnyardy, and other things as well.
I think most people would like the spicy character, but not the barnyard. But even here, there is no hard and fast rule. Some barnyard is appreciated by many people, even if most don't like it.
So is Brett a flaw or not? There can be no one answer to that question. It really varies from person to person.
Tasting wine? Don't try so hard
Steve Heimoff
Heimoff takes aim at the whole concept that you can accurately identify the different flavors in wine. I know when I have been tastings with other people, and we've been asked to identify the flavors in a wine, it's a scattergun-we're all over the place. I think in part this is due to the fact that the flavors in wine don't clearly translate into flavors of other things. Cherry in wine is not the same thing as cherry in cherry. But the other factor is that we are all very different when it comes to detecting the different flavors that are present.
Therefore, I have always felt that the other factors besides taste are more open to objective identification. We may disagree about whether the wine has a blueberry flavor, but will probably agree pretty much on whether it is a tannic wine or not. I think Heimoff is saying much the same thing.
After a long hiatus, Shut up and make wine is back, at least for now. This post focuses primarily upon the efforts necessary to work a vineyard. The fact that it's in Los Angeles doesn't make it a whole lot different than one any place else.
The mystery of soils and wine, part 1
Of all the wine myths (and there are many of them), the idea that wines obtain flavor from the soil is the most persistent one. I remember going out to sell wine with a sales person, and when I told her that the flavors in the wine cannot come from the soil I thought she was going to drop me on the spot to find my way back to the hotel on my own.
That's why I appreciated this post, which at least acknowledges what cannot really be disputed from a scientific point of view. Namely, that a wine does not pick up flavors from the soils, but in fact simply take some water and nutrients in a fairly molecular way. For reasons other than obtaining flavor from the soil, the quality of the soil can certainly impact the quality of the wine. Even here, I think this is overblown, but certainly not outside the realm of possibility.
Goode indicates that he wants to explore this issue further, and I'm curious to see what he thinks on the subject.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Birmingham Mayor William Bell along with former Mayor Richard Arrington and School Superintendent Craig Witherspoon today talked to students about the city's civil rights history and the upcoming 1963 50th anniversary commemoration.
Bell unveiled the "50 Years Forward" campaign designed to honor the city's history and celebrate its future. Bell met with student at Phillips Academy where he also introduced the companion website, 50yearsforward.com.
City officials said the new site would become the online hub for all activities related to the 50th anniversary in 2013 and would feature a presentation of some of the most significant historical moments of the era.
"Though it's rooted in our past '50 Years Forward' is all about what's ahead, for our city, for our state, and for the human race," Bell said in a statement. "50yearsforward.com will be our invitation to the world--to join Birmingham in celebrating how far we've come and where we're going from here."
Bell, Arrington, Witherspoon, along with historian Horace Huntley, also answered questions as they sat in the library filled with elementary students.
Today's presentation is part of a series of activities leading to the 2013 commemoration.
The city earlier this month opened an exhibit that includes artifacts and records discovered by city staff. That exhibit is open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the second floor of City Hall.

Life as a jobbing Holocaust denier can be tough in a recession. So "historian" David Irving has come up with a cunning plan. How about guided tours of Hitler's Secret Headquarters?
Irving is proposing you join him this September for, "a week-long guided tour of Hitler's secret headquarters and other historic sites".
Participants will get the chance to gain a real insight into one of the world's most reviled and ridiculed extremists. Oh, and there will be plenty of stuff about Hitler too.

Sounds like a good idea to me!! Prop 37 will be an interesting issue to watch on the California ballot this coming November. In my opinion, the problem is that we really don't know what these foods are doing to human bodies. The animal research ( what there is of it) is often disturbing.
One thought on "37 Reasons? GMO Labeling."
All the details I need.Helpful and useful post.I can't wait to read the entire post.I hate GMF.I don't think it's good for the body.

GW Men's Hoops Drops Wooden Legacy Semi to No. 25 Marquette, 76-60
Colonials to Play in Wooden Legacy Third-Place Game on Sunday
Nov. 29, 2013
Box Score | Box Score | Photo Gallery | Replay on WatchESPN
FULLERTON, Calif. - GW men's basketball attempted to rally in the second half, but couldn't overcome a 21-point halftime deficit as the Colonials fell to No. 25 Marquette, 76-60, in a DIRECTV Wooden Legacy semifinal at Titan Gym on Friday afternoon.
GW's (5-1) first loss of the season sends it to the Wooden Legacy third-place game on Sunday at the Honda Center in Anaheim against No. 20 Creighton following its 86-80 loss to San Diego State. The GW/Creighton contest will tip at 6:30 p.m. ET and be nationally televised on ESPNU.
GW committed single-digit turnovers (seven) for the second straight game and matched its season-high of nine blocks (Larsen 3; Armwood, Creek, Kopriva 2), but was hampered by its worst shooting of the young season at 33 percent (20-60) overall and 21 percent behind the three-point arc (4-19).
Sophomore Kethan Savage led a trio of GW players in double figures with 16 points, including 11 in the second half. Graduate student Maurice Creek added 14 points and sophomore Joe McDonald provided 12 points, 10 in the second half, and game-highs of four assists and three steals.
GW fell behind 46-25 at intermission as Marquette (5-2) bombed away from behind the three-point arc, burying 7-of-11 threes in the first half, and limited the Colonials to 29 percent shooting (8-28), including 1-of-7 from deep.
Creek and McDonald combined for GW's first 12 points of the second half to spark a 12-3 run over the opening 3:59 of the period to narrow the deficit to 49-37.
The Colonials would close within a dozen on three more occasions, but the Golden Eagles had an answer each time, mainly from the duo of Derrick Wilson and Davante Gardner. Wilson scored all 11 of his points in the second half and Gardner added six of his game-high 20 points in the period to keep GW from getting within single digits.
Gardner finished with 20 points and nine rebounds to lead all players, while teammate Juan Anderson flirted with a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds. Jake Thomas was the fourth Marquette player in double figures with 13 points, nine in the first half.

BEACHWOOD, Ohio -- A coalition of labor, faith and community organizations is holding a rally Thursday in support of more than 1,000 workers being laid off by the Bank of America. In the words of the protest's chief organizer: "it's about time to make some noise" about all the layoffs in Northeast Ohio.
"People need to take to the streets and demand that this stops," said Deb Kline, director of the coalition, Cleveland Jobs with Justice, of the layoffs not only at Bank of America, but occurring throughout Greater Cleveland.
In this case, "the streets" are at the corner of Richmond Road and Science Park Drive, where the noon rally is scheduled to take place. Stand Up for Ohio, a coalition of community, labor, civil rights and environmental groups concerned about jobs, is the rally's other sponsor.
Bank of America officials announced in August the institution would be laying off 1,050 employees by Oct. 31. About 1,000 worked at offices in Beachwood, near where the rally is scheduled to take place. About another 50 worked at a location in Independence.
"We keep hearing that the economy is on an upswing, so why are we losing so many jobs in this area?" Kline said.
For four months running, the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor metro area lost more jobs than any large metro area in the country, in terms of number and percentage. Between August 2012 and August 2013, the latest available figures, Greater Cleveland shed 7,900 jobs or 0.8 percent of its employment. The metro area includes Cuyahoga, Medina, Lake, Geauga and Lorain counties.
These numbers don't include Bank of America, because the layoffs aren't effective until October. They also don't include other expected mass layoffs. Earlier this month, Ben Venue Laboratories, a pharmaceutical manufacturer in Bedford, announced it would lay off at least 500 employees by Dec. 31. That figure would have been 1,100 jobs, because the plant's owners initially said they would close the facility. Since then, the company has agreed to work with the City of Bedford and other public officials in finding a buyer for the company.
About the same time as the Bank of America and Ben Venue announcements, Cleveland Clinic officials said a mass layoff could be in the future because the institution had to cut $330 million from its 2014 budget. The first option would be offering early voluntary retirement to 3,000 employees.
Jumana Bauwens, a Bank of America spokeswoman, declined to comment on the rally. However, she said the company had not only laid off in Northeast Ohio, but around the country.
Bauwens said the layoffs were unavoidable for at least two reasons. Interest rates rose rapidly this year, making refinancing less attractive. The local mortgage offices, seeing layoffs, worked with customers refinancing loans. She said the bank also lost business in its delinquent loan portfolio. The portfolio, once 1.4 million loans, has decreased by one-third.
"The number of homeowners needing specialized services was reduced significantly since those numbers were at their high, so obviously there would have to be some staff reductions made to accommodate the different size portfolio," Bauwens said.
Kline said she is concerned that businesses quickly resort to layoffs as a way of improving the bottom line.
"Corporations, especially those with huge profits, need to take a look at what these layoffs are doing to the community," she said.
Earlier this month, Bank of America reported a sharp rise in third-quarter earnings, despite a struggling mortgage operation, which posted losses.
Laid-off employees interviewed by The Plain Dealer declined to go on record, saying their severance could be jeopardized if they publicly said anything the company interpreted as unflattering. (Bauwens declined to discuss the terms of the severance agreement.)
Employees interviewed did express common themes about the layoffs. They believed the company could have alerted them months earlier layoffs were a possibility, so that workers could have started a job search or prepared in other ways. Bauwens said that would have been difficult since the factors giving rise to the layoffs didn't start to manifest until the second quarter this year.
The employees, most of whom said they had been loyal to the company, characterized the layoffs as almost an act of betrayal. Was there no commitment to determine whether what was happening was actually a trend or only short-term?
Bauwens said the company has shown a commitment to the workers. She said the bank partnered with the city of Beachwood for a career fair Oct. 8, which was attended by nearly 60 employers and 580 Bank of America employees. She said she expected many of the workers to be hired as a result of the effort.
"The level of talent at the bank was something that the employers at the job fair were very pleased with," Bauwens said the bank's human resources department told her.
As soon as word of the layoffs spread, she said local employers called with job openings, which the bank passed on to workers. Laid-off workers also have the option of transferring to positions at other bank locations throughout the country. Bauwens said the bank prepared the workers for the job search by offering 39 workshops, including those on interviewing, resume writing and networking.
Kline is more focused on what the layoffs will mean for the workers, their families and the local economy.
"We can't allow (nearly) 1,100 people to be laid off, and nobody says anything," she said. "We are standing up for justice for these workers."

Stripers didn't cooperate outside Manasquan Inlet this morning when Robert Palmisano of Caldwell fished there on his small center console in a bunker school. When one of his baits did get hit, it turned out to be a fish they had no chance of boating -- a thresher shark with a body length of about eight feet that was hooked on 20-pound test line. Christian Palmisano (16) fought that shark for over an hour as it towed them two miles offshore -- but they had no means of boating it even if the estimated 400-pound thresher tired. Threshers are often spotted in bunker schools, and their small teeth may not cut mono leaders if hooked in the corner of the mouth. Yet, few small boaters are equipped with flying gaffs and are better off enjoying the fight without attempting to boat a dangerous adversary.
Capt. Ford Coles got a pleasant surprise Sunday around 11a.m. when a school of large stripers came up between the channels as he was trolling bunker spoons with Capt. Mike Greco on Westwind. The party boated six from 25 to 36 pounds and could have caught many more.
John Green of Brick didn't find any surf action this morning, but knew of a 35-pound bass released at Mantoloking by an angler who was at the right place at the right time.
Mike O'Buch of Bridgewater fished Sandy Hook Channel on Monday with his Funny Pharm from Highlands, along with AFTCO rep Lou Truppi, as they boated six fluke up to an 8-pounder while releasing shorts and four that were right at the 18-inch mark.
Capt. Pete Wagner of Hyper Striper at Twin Lights Marina in Highlands got past a few days of spotty striper fishing to get a good shot of 28-to-32-inch bass Tuesday for the Jack Schmitt party from Ridgefield Park -- and also trolled bigger bass up to a 34-pounder by Ken Emmets of that town on spoons.
At Point Pleasant, Capt. Jim O'Grady reported slow bluefishing Tuesday on his Cock Robin before the choppers turned on for a hot bite. They were spitting up squid, butterfish, anchovies and sand eels.
Capt. Bob Pennington fished 20 miles east of the inlet Tuesday with his Sea Devil and found mostly 7-to-9-pounders, though the pool winner was 13 pounds. Jigs worked best.

The popular trend of adapting video games into feature films, is not slowing down anytime soon. The latest adaptation focuses on Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed", which went on to sell over 40 million copies worldwide. We learned several weeks ago that Michael Fassbender is producing and starring in the film, but the project had yet to find a writer.
The search is over, as U.K. playwright Michael Lesslie has been hired to pen the script. You may be asking, Lesslie who? Lesslie has mostly written shorts, including "Skirt" and "Heavy Metal Drummer", and "Prince Of Denmark" for the stage. His limited body of work to date has been highly respected, and "Assassin's Creed" marks his first feature-length film.
In the film, Fassbender will play Desmond Miles. Miles is a bartender kidnapped by a secret corporation and sent back in time via the memories of his assassin ancestors, with the job of tracking down ancient artifacts. It will be interesting to see how they make this colorful story come to life on the big-screen.
Now that the writer is locked, the film still needs someone to helm and more actors to star alongside Fassbender. Especially with a Summer production date in mind.
We'll keep you posted as the story develops.

Osteoporosis: Don't let age destroy your bones
Most of us (especially women) have a tendency to lose bone mass density (BMD) as we age increasing the likelihood of both developing osteoporosis and breaking a bone.
One way to help keep bones healthy, of course, is to avoid factors that can undermine bone mass density long before we reach our golden years.
Magnesium is good for ageing bones
According to a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, a high intake of magnesium either from food or supplements, may keep bones healthy as people age.
Researchers examined the magnesium intake from supplemental and dietary sources in relation to BMD in 2,038 patients aged between 70 and 79 years.
They used a food frequency questionnaire to assess dietary intake of magnesium as well as standard tests to measure BMD.
According to their results, there was an approximate 2 percent increase in whole-body BMD for every 100 milligrams per day increase in magnesium. The scientists also found that less than 26 percent of the patients examined met the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for magnesium.
Researchers concluded that Higher magnesium intake through dietary change or supplementation may provide an additional strategy for the prevention of osteoporosis.
Taking magnesium to help prevent osteoporosis from developing wont help prevent you from falling. However, stronger bones do mean that you are less likely to break a bone if you do happen to fall. And anyone who has broken a bone before knows how painful it is and how long the recovery time can be. Unfortunately, it often takes longer to recover from broken bones the older we get.
Protein boosts bone density
It seems that there is even more research emerging to show that protein intake can help boost your bone mass as well.
Australian researchers studied 1,077 women aged 72 to 78 years. They took initial measurements of protein consumption with food questionnaires as well as bone mass and structure with ultrasound. After a year, they took BMD measurements of the womens hips.
The researchers found that there was a positive correlation between protein intake and BMD after they adjusted for age, body mass index (BMI) and the effect of other nutrients.
Based on these result, they concluded that elderly women may be able to optimise bone mass by upping their protein intake above current recommendations. .
Avoiding gluten may help you keep your bones strong
In the e-alert Could a gluten-free diet strengthen your bones? (15/3/05), I told you about how a blood test could determine if you need to make dietary changes that could reap significant benefits in maintaining healthy bones.
A study reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine in the US investigated the link between coeliac disease and osteoporosis. Blood tests and other diagnostic tools revealed that CD was much more common among subjects with osteoporosis. In addition, subjects with the most severe cases of coeliac disease tended to have the most severe cases of osteoporosis.
The primary treatment for coeliac disease is adherence to a strict non-gluten diet – but this is easier said than done. Gluten is sometimes hidden in foods such as soups, soy sauce, low-fat or non-fat products, and even in sweets such as jelly beans.
While, it is hard to eliminate gluten from your diet, it may be worth the trouble if it means you may be able to help your bones stay strong.
