One of the biggest matchups in school history awaits the East St. John (7-4) football team on Friday, and while the Wildcats know what's at stake, the team's mentality remains the same going into their matchup with the Brandon Harris-led Parkway Panthers.
"Basically we're doing what we've been doing all year, rushers rush, covers cover. If everybody comes out and executes then we should come out on top," said senior defensive tackle Charlie Payne. "We're not on our toes or anything like that just because he's (Harris) signed to LSU. I give all credit where it's due, he's awesome, it's ways he can beat us but there's also ways that we can stop him from beating us."
Seeking just their fifth appearance in the quarterfinals in school history, the Wildcats are well aware of the abilities of whom many consider to be the best quarterback in the state. Harris has thrown for 2,296 yards with 25 touchdowns and he's equally as dangerous with his legs.
The Wildcats have already seen a similar quarterback in Destrehan's Donovan Isom who helped hand East St. John its only district loss. East St. John did have some success, though, out gaining Destrehan 342-293 and holding Isom to just 162 yards passing and a touchdown.
"(Isom) is not really as athletic so we really want to try to get after him, try to keep him (Harris) more contained," Davaron Stockman said.
Turnovers cost East St. John dearly in that contest and Coach Phillip Banko said the team must play mistake free football to come out with a win at home on Friday as he expects Harris and the Panther offense to make some plays.
"It'd be ludicrous for me to sit here and say our plan is to stop him, that's dumb, they've averaged 50.5 points a game," Banko said. "What we want to do is try to take away what we think they like to do and harass them and make them do things they don't want to do.
"We want to make it into the fourth quarter, we make it into the fourth quarter we think we've got a shot, nobody's done that except one team."
District 1-5A foe Airline gave Parkway (10-0) all it could handle in the final week of the regular season as the Panthers held on for a 30-23 in their closest game of the year. Parkway Coach David Feaster also pointed to matchups with Bastrop and Byrd as games that went into the fourth quarter, but the Panthers we able to pull away late in both.
The win over Airline gave Parkway its first undefeated season in school history, which Feaster said was a huge deal for a school that was relatively unknown just a few years ago.
"What it means for us is it's been a tremendous season no matter what happens next," he said. "If we had lost anywhere along the way then basically the season would not be historic unless we go to the dome and now if we get beat this week it's still been an unbelievable season and we'd still put up a banner."
After winning a school record 11 games last year, Feaster said the team has now set its sights on surpassing that mark and knows getting by the No. 15 Wildcats will be no easy task.
"The first thing that comes to mind is how well-coached those guys are using the talent they have," he said. "Their schemes are good, everybody we've played had some big guys, everybody we've played had some speed but East St. John does as good a job as anybody we've seen of getting their athletes the ball in space."
Juniors Xavier Lewis and Nigel Anderson have combined for 2,195 yards rushing this season with 21 touchdowns. Lewis, also an LSU commit, has thrown for 947 yards and eight touchdowns.
Senior Leonard Harris also sees snaps in the backfield and said the game plan is simple for the Wildcats.
"All we're trying to do is control the clock," he said. "We don't have to keep making big plays, just drive the ball down the field and keep their offense off the field and give our defense a rest so when they do get back on we'll be good."
Banko echoed those same sentiments regarding the offense's approach and also said the team's journey from losing everything in Hurricane Issac, to the passing of Stockman's mother, has been a unifying force for the team heading into the biggest game of the season.
"One year and two months removed from not having a damn thing to having a chance to play in the final eight," Banko reflected.
"We're excited about being in the sweet sixteen and playing them and by far (Harris) is probably the best quarterback in the state of Louisiana. Compliments to him and the staff and the school for where they but we've got a dance to go to and when they play the music hopefully we can dance a little bit with them, we're going to find out."

The Jets' 'generic, exploratory' call about Terrell Owens proved to be just that. The 36-year-old free agent receiver has agreed to terms with Cincinnati, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said on NFL Network.
He will reportedly sign a one-year, $2 million deal with another $2 million in incentives, according to multiple media outlets. New teammate Chad Ochocinco -- and fellow VH1 reality star -- posted the news on his Twitter page, writing: "OCNNBREAKINGNEWS Terrell Owens is officially a Cincinnati Bengals, Cincy let's welcome him with open arms, it's on now!"
Like they did with quarterback JaMarcus Russell earlier this summer, the Jets were likely doing their "due diligence" by reaching out to Owens.
The Bengals report for training camp tomorrow in Georgetown, Ky. Owens is expected to join the team either tomorrow night or Thursday morning.
Owens was looking for a landing spot after playing one season with the Bills. The Bengals will be his fifth NFL team.

The social and economic characteristics of different countries affect market opportunities in complex ways. Moreover, since companies are not all the same their response to any set of characteristics increases the complexity of theorising about any general relationship between host countries and companies. The theoretical literature suggests that there is a positive relationship between degree of involvement and economic development and a negative relationship between cultural differences Hofstede (1980) and the degree of involvement in overseas markets. Using survey and World Bank data, we tested a single equation multivariate model to see if we can find statistical support for the theorised relationships.

A report released Friday on the Janeway Psychiatry Unit (J4D) makes a dozen-and-a-half recommendations to improve mental health services for youth.
The document is the result of an investigation by the Child and Youth Advocate's office.
John Rorke, acting child and youth advocate, declined interview requests. In a release, he said he hoped the work clarifies problems and leads "to improved services and resources to assist those charged with the responsibility of caring for the most vulnerable group of persons in our society."
A report released Friday on the Janeway Psychiatry Unit (J4D) makes a dozen-and-a-half recommendations to improve mental health services for youth.
The document is the result of an investigation by the Child and Youth Advocate's office.
John Rorke, acting child and youth advocate, declined interview requests. In a release, he said he hoped the work clarifies problems and leads "to improved services and resources to assist those charged with the responsibility of caring for the most vulnerable group of persons in our society."
The advocate's office launched an investigation in December 2008, after the unit was temporarily closed because enough nurses couldn't be secured to operate it.
The shutdown saw two teens sent to the Waterford Hospital, an adult facility.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary escorted them and handcuffs were used as restraints.
The advocate's probe looked into psychiatric services and programs provided in 2008.
It revealed, according to the report, "a unit in crisis and in need of intervention. "
The advocate said several concerns led to the closure of J4D.
Among them were problems with inconsistency, communication, team cohesiveness and low morale, as well as human resource challenges.
The resulting recommendations include revising policies so they are relevant to the unit's patients and ensuring consistency in the implementation of policies and procedures.
The suggestions also address the communications, morale and human resource issues.
The report says all staff need the education to ensure people have the latest evidence, information and treatment techniques.
A key finding, according to the advocate, was there is no requirement to hire trained psychiatric nurses.
Throughout the investigation, the document states, it has been clear that significant changes are required to move J4D forward.
"The unit needs to be more patient-centred, flexible and adaptable. A mindset shift needs to occur."
According to Eastern Health, a shift is taking place.
The health authority responded Friday afternoon.
"We welcome the report of the advocate," Louise Jones, senior vice-president and chief nursing officer, told reporters.
She said the document is complimentary to its external review of J4D issues. That analysis was prompted by challenges the unit faced in fall 2008 and was completed last year.
"Since receiving the report of our own operational review we have been working very hard to implement the recommendations that it contained," Jones said.
"In fact, you will note throughout the report of the advocate, that the advocate references to issues that Eastern Health has already taken action on."
Material handed out to reporters listed the advocate's recommendations and what was already being done in each area.
A review of mental health and addictions policies has been done, and staff are being educated on revised policies.
As well, an occupational therapist has been hired, and youth care workers, an advanced practical nurse and a new psychologist are being recruited.
The number of psychiatrists on the unit has been streamlined from eight to two to ensure treatment consistency, and a steering committee focused on improving staff communication has been struck.
As well, staff sessions have been held to identify the unit's mandate and employees have been offered de-briefing because of what transpired in 2008.
Jones noted a new model of care that clarifies staff responsibilities is being implemented and that training on change management and team effectiveness is being developed.
Kim Baldwin, acting director of mental health and addictions programs, said the atmosphere amongst the people who work on J4D is improving.
"We are hearing, certainly, that there have been significant improvements (in morale) among staff of the unit," she said.
As for the advocate pointing out there is no requirement to hire trained pyschiatric nurses, Jones said they need some clarity.
She explained they have no objection to increased education, but noted that post-basic training for nurses isn't offered in the province.
"Do we need to do more? Do we need to ask the university? Do we need to look at post-basics again? Sure. And that's something we will take under advisement, if that is, in fact, what the child advocate is indicating here."
The Eastern Health officials were also asked to explain how streamlining the number of pyschiatrists works better.
Dr. David Attwood, Eastern Health's clinical chief of psychiatry, explained the measure was taken to ensure treatment consistency as there are differences of opinion amongst pyschiatrists.
"You can just imagine if you had seven different plumbers coming to your house telling you have to fix the pipes. There's always going to be a difference of approach and I think this is a way of bringing some consistency and allowing (us) to focus our resources a little more," he said, noting the other psychiatrists are focused on other needs.
Reporters also asked if a situation like the one that arose in the fall of 2008 could happen again.
Attwood said it's important to remember that was an extraordinary set of circumstances.
He said he didn't think he would ever guarantee a repeat wasn't possible, what they are trying to is reduce the probability.
"To underestimate the severity and magnitude of what our staff are faced with is probably what hasn't come out in this," he said.
"This was an overwhelming experience for everyone involved and what happens to our patients was very difficult and hard for them to manage, but it's also quite traumatizing for staff as well. And that seems to have gotten lost in this process."

One of your greatest accomplishments was the Camp David Accord and the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. It has become the model for peace settlements between Israel and its other Arab neighbors. What were the conditions that made Camp David possible, and do you see the same conditions present now (1991) that would make possible a broader peace in the Middle East?
Jimmy Carter: Let me answer that last question first. I don't see the conditions now that were there then.
We had two bold and courageous political leaders then. Particularly Anwar Sadat, combined with a very receptive leader in Menachem Begin, who was willing to make decisions very difficult for him within his own constituency in Israel. And I had done my homework. I had met with the Israeli leaders and the Egyptian leaders, and the Jordanian and Lebanese, and Syrian leaders. And so we were able to provide some means by which these two bold and courageous political leaders could come together. They were incompatible. We were at Camp David 13 days. They never saw each other the last ten days. Every time they got in the same room, we went backwards instead of forwards. So Begin and Sadat stayed separate. And I would go to one and then go to the other one, back and forth. And eventually, we came out with the Camp David Accord, which people forget is called "a framework for peace." It's a set of principles on which peace can be predicated in the future, and that framework is still absolutely applicable to any negotiations in the Middle East now. The people that rejected it then -- the Jordanians, the Palestinians and the Syrians -- are now willing to negotiate on the basis of Camp David. We used the Camp David principles six months later to conclude the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.
The Israeli people want peace. The Palestinian people want peace. The Jordanians do, God knows. The Lebanese people want peace. It's the political leaders who are the obstacles, because they are too inflexible, and they are looking at their own sometimes very narrow political constituency to give them restraints which they can't break. Someday though, there will be leaders there, like Sadat and Begin then, who will truly represent the desire of their people for peace, and then we'll have success.
[ Key to Success ] Vision
One of the other successes that you were involved in is also one of the most controversial, the Panama Canal Treaty. There was a knock-down, drag-out fight in the Senate, but you were successful. The treaty means that the Canal will eventually be turned over to the Panamanians. A lot has happened since that treaty, but none of it has affected the status of the Canal, even though many critics at the time talked about the kinds of things that have happened as being the worst possible scenario.
Jimmy Carter: What people forget is that the original treaty with Panama was written and signed without any Panamanian ever seeing it. It was never fair to the Panamanians, and most people recognize that. President Johnson gave his word of honor to the Panamanians, "We will have a new treaty." So did President Nixon and President Ford. But it was only when I got into office that I was foolish enough to push it to a conclusion. The treaty is very fair to our country and to the Panamanians. It gives us first priority in using the Canal. It gives us the right to defend the Canal against external threats, not only in this century but even in the next century. And it forms a sharing partnership in operating the Canal. When I was there during the Panamanian elections, which we helped to conduct, I visited the Canal and the American leaders there, and they told me that the Canal was in better shape than it had been in many, many years. Because the Panamanians, knowing that they now have a share in the future of the Canal, were much more enthusiastic in upkeep and maintenance and learning how to be the leaders in ways that they hadn't been before. This was the worst political battle I ever got into. It was more difficult to get the Panama Canal Treaties ratified by two-thirds of the Senate of the United States than it was for me to get elected President in the first place. It was a very deep and bitter political battle, and many people still haven't gotten over it. I never go through a week of my life now that I don't get letters from people condemning the Panama Canal Treaties. Still, and this is I don't know how many years later. 1978? Thirteen years later. But it was a good thing to do.
[ Key to Success ] Courage
Jimmy Carter: This is something that many people won't forget. It is the most courageous thing that the U.S. Senate ever did in its existence. They knew that it was politically unpopular, but they knew that it was right and needed. Of the 20 senators who voted for the Canal Treaties in 1978, who were up for re-election the next year, only seven of them came back. Thirteen of them didn't come back. And the attrition rate in 1980 was almost as bad. But it was the right thing to do -- an all-too-rare demonstration of political courage.

Metro Transit Director Bill Schomisch said the van slid slowly into the front of the bus, near the doors in the 3 p.m. crash. Neither the bus driver nor bus passengers were injured in the 3 p.m. crash. He said medical personnel were attending to the driver of the van and determining whether that person needed to be transported to a local hospital.
Schomisch said it was the second crash involving a Metro Transit bus on Tuesday. Earlier in the morning, a bus made a left hand turn and clipped a stopped vehicle, causing minor damage to the vehicle but no injuries.

High overload protection in a stainless-steel design
Made for wash-down applications in packaging, food and beverage industries, this coupling protects from overload with a patented, backlash-free ball detent system that disengages within 1-3 mse when an overload is detected. It comes in single position, multi-position, load-holding and free-wheeling versions, which are preset in the factory to a customer-specified disengagement torque. They can also be adjusted after installation. They are built with a stainless-steel bellow that compensates for axial, angular and lateral misalignment simultaneously. It has a low mass and weight, so there's a low moment of inertia. It comes in a torque range of 0.2-1,800 Nm (1.8 to 15,930 inch lb), and both shaft hubs are custom-bored for shaft sizes from 4-80 mm (0.25-3.125 inches).

Fin(s) for Futura 111
Dear Starboard Team,
I just bought a 2009 Futura 111 and need to know if I need to purchase an additional fin. I´m an advanced windsurfer, sailing both on lakes and sea with no waves (average 12 to 25knots of wind) weigh 75 kg and plan on using this board with my current quiver of Hellcat 6.7 and Excess 5.9. I suppose that the supplied 38cm Drake fin is ok for the 6.7, but should I buy a smaller one for the 5.9 sail ? If yes, what´s your recommended size and shape ?
For winds above 20/25knots I intend on using my smaller 85l jp freestyle wave board (thinking of buying a kode....) both with the 5.9 sail above or my even smaller 5.4.
Thanks in Advance

J.R. Gabel, F.C. Bruhweiler (IACS/CUA)
We present photoionization modeling results for the LINER/H II region transition nucleus NGC 4569. Its nuclear UV emission is clearly dominated by a compact, young stellar population (Maoz et al. 1998; Barth et al. 1998) and there are no signatures of an AGN in the multi-wavelength data of NGC 4569. Thus, NGC 4569 is an ideal object for testing a possible link between stellar photoionization and nuclear emission line regions characterized by low ionization. This analysis builds on the photoionization results for NGC 4569 presented by Barth & Shields (2000). We derive rigid constraints on the photoionizing emission through spectral population synthesis of the nuclear starburst, as well as by placing an observationally derived limit on the contribution from hot Wolf-Rayet stars. Additional constraints for our photoionization analysis are obtained from published imagery and spectral data. We find that very specific nuclear conditions are required if stellar photoionization is the sole ionization mechanism. Specifically, at least two spatially distinct emission line components are needed, an inner core of emission coincinding with the compact starburst, as well as an extended component. Furthermore, a separate high denisty component is required to reproduce the strength of the [O I] \lambda6300 emission. We offer a physical interpretation for these results in terms of an evolving starburst.

Apple has officially posted its Q4 2015 earnings results with $51.5 billion in revenue and $11.1 billion in profit from the July to September quarter. While Apple isn't breaking out Apple Watch sales, Q4 is only the second quarter to include numbers for the product (grouped with iPods, Apple TVs, and more in the Other category) and the first to include any iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus sales. Apple previously announced over 13 million iPhone 6s and 6s Plus launch sales with purchases completed by Saturday, September 26th included in today's numbers.
Apple® today announced financial results for its fiscal 2015 fourth quarter ended September 26, 2015. The Company posted quarterly revenue of $51.5 billion and quarterly net profit of $11.1 billion, or $1.96 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $42.1 billion and net profit of $8.5 billion, or $1.42 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 39.9 percent compared to 38 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 62 percent of the quarter's revenue.
Here's Apple's breakdown of iPhone, iPad, and Mac sales from the quarter:
- iPhone: 48 million units
- iPad: 9.8 million units
- Mac: 5.7 million units
Apple's "Other" category, which holds Apple Watch, Apple TV, Beats hardware, iPods, and accessories, reported $3.04 billion in revenue. That's update from $2.6 billion in the prior quarter.
Apple CEO Tim Cook had this to say about the quarter:
"Fiscal 2015 was Apple's most successful year ever, with revenue growing 28% to nearly $234 billion. This continued success is the result of our commitment to making the best, most innovative products on earth, and it's a testament to the tremendous execution by our teams," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "We are heading into the holidays with our strongest product lineup yet, including iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, Apple Watch with an expanded lineup of cases and bands, the new iPad Pro and the all-new Apple TV which begins shipping this week."
And Luca Maestri, chief financial officer at the company, said this:
"Apple's record September quarter results drove earnings per share growth of 38% and operating cash flow of $13.5 billion," said Luca Maestri, Apple's CFO. "We returned $17 billion to our investors during the quarter through share repurchases and dividends, and we have now completed over $143 billion of our $200 billion capital return program."
How do these numbers relate to past performance? Apple's Q4 results compare to the prior quarter's $49 billion in revenue, 47 million iPhone sales, 10.9 million iPad sales, and 4.7 million Mac sales.

Don't Call Them 'Nones'
Christian Piatt, Washington Post
I've heard a lot about "the nones" lately. No, don't conjure up images of cantankerous ladies in penguin-like habits enforcing Catholic-school order. These "nones" are the new "spiritual but not religious."
The Pew Center, a major force in the socio-cultural research world, issued a report last fall that found one in three young adults in the U.S. chooses "none of the above" when asked about their religious affiliation or identity. We humans love ourselves a meme, so of course, the "nones" became a new category of person that hadn't exactly been labeled as such before.
TAGGED: Nones

There's such a huge gap between prices between the Stanley Cup Final cities you'd be better off flying cross country and buying tickets in Los Angeles than attempt to see the Rangers at Madison Square Garden.
That's the conclusion ticket-tracking site Seat Geek came two when it compared Games 1-2 in LA vs. Game 3-4 in New York.
As of Monday, the average price paid for a Game 1 ticket at Staples Center was $679; Game 3 at MSG cost $1,626, according to Seat Geek.
"It's New York," Seat Geek spokesman Connor Gregoire told NJ.com. "There's a lot of well-to-do Rangers fans and a lot of well-to-do people in general who want to be there for the spectacle. You're going to have a lot more suits than hardcore, blue-collar Ranges fans."
The cheapest roundtrip plane ticket early Monday afternoon from a New York-New Jersey area airport (Newark) to Los Angeles (LAX) was $504. (Flying out Tuesday and returning on Thursday.) Yes, there's a layover involved. The cheapest seat for Game 1 on StubHub.com was $465, making a total to see Game 1 (outside a hotel/transportation) $964.
The cheapest seat on StubHub for Game 3 at MSG: $1,146.45
"Digging through all the data since we began tracking it in 2009, we have never seen such a large gap in a championship series in any sport," Gregoire said.
Game 3 in New York will be the most expensive ticket on the secondary market in recents years since Game 7 in Vancouver. Tickets for that game, Gregoire said, were about $2,000 as Vancouver attempted to win its first Cup, which was instead secured by the Boston Bruins.
"There's so much nostalgia when it comes to 1994, the last time the Rangers were in the finals," Gregoire said. "That series had some of the most magical moments in Cup history and it's taken 20 years for the Rangers to get back."
The average price ($1,626) for Game 3 is the highest tracked by the site for any event at MSG since 2009.
Prices in LA are also slightly higher (8 percent) this year for Game 1 than they were for Game 3 (the Kings' first home game in the when they faced the Devils) in 2012, according to Seat Geek.

SPRINGFIELD – The City Council on Monday approved special permits for Balise Motor Sales, which plans to invest more than $8 million to redevelop its automotive businesses on East Columbus Avenue.
The vote was 11-0 in favor of the special permits granted to Columbus Avenue Reality, LLC.
The plans submitted call for the demolition and replacement of all existing buildings except for the collision repair center.
Plans include a new, 26,794-square-foot Hyundai car dealership, a new 2,898-square-foot building for Ready Credit Used Auto Sales, and a new 7,463-square-foot car mechanical car wash and and detailing operation, according to plans.
In addition, the number of employees is expected to increase 30 from the current 80.
The businesses are along East Columbus Avenue, bordered by Mill Street and York Street.
James E. "Jeb" Balise, company president, said he is grateful to the council for the special permits, and excited about the project ahead. The permits were granted to allow the company to continue new and used auto sales, auto repairs, and the car wash. The project will be done in phases.
Balise is a third generation company started by his grandfather in the 1930s, Balise said.
Kimberly M. Masiuk, project manager with Associated Builders, and Jeffrey Fialky, lawyer for Balise, said the redevelopment will make the site more modern, attractive and safe.
It will improve the safety of motorists and pedestrians, with easier traffic flow from East Columbus Avenue and within the site, they said. In addition, there will be more landscaping, they said.
Leo Florian, president of the South End Citizens Council, joined in praising the renovations on behalf of the neighborhood group. He praised Balise as being a strong corporate neighbor.
"We really look forward to seeing this area get an uplift and upgrade," Florian said.

Poor Obama and his family finally get out of Washington and travel to Wyoming, where they get to spend a half hour, then on to Colorado, for 90 minutes of kayaking in the rain. The most powerful man in the world can't just kick back and enjoy some of the most beautiful areas in our country for even a week. Even accounting for the irony, that sounds totally unappealing.

iPhone Apps
There's an article in the Washington Post today that claims to identify the "35 best iPhone apps in 2009", but the WaPo's site is so cluttered with popups, video ads and God knows what else that it's impossibly slow and I only got through the first 9 (none of which appealed to me) before quiting. So no link for them.
But there are some really cool applications, some free, some not so free, that I've either been playing with or want to. Google has a new app that allows searching by voice. Amazing. Click the button, speak your search term and a flawless transcription produces instant search results. Cool.
And for fishing or sailing, the free tide schedule from Shralp is also neat. Hold the screen verticle and see a table of the the next tides in, say, Stamford (or Miami or Australis, wherever you select). Turn the phone horizontal and get a scrollable chart.
There'a $70 GPS maps program that I've resisted buying so far, but the reviews are excellent and even at this price it's going to give Garmin and Tom Tom fits, if it provides the voice instructions, detailed street mapping etc. that it says it does. The days of the stand-along GPS for cars is over, but I'm guessing this program will drop way down in price as competitors show up.
Hey, it's an election year
Mayor Blumberg has offered NYC teachers an 8% pay raise even before contract negotiations begin. This shows that even electing billionaires to public office can't stop corruption because these folks will still sell out their constituents, but for the ego-gratification of re-election instead of cash. Makes no never-mind to the citizens, they're still screwed.
The problem is too powerful a government, not the schleps who run it. Deprive them of power and they'll have no means to harm us.
Their little heads are going to explode
If, like me, you follow the Kos Kids and the raving left, you'll know that the "Public Option" – the takeover of the medical insurance industry by Washington – has been their number one priority this summer. It's fueled living room meet-ups, millions of anguished blog posts and mass emailings, and has become the litmus test of whether a politician is a true progressive or a craven tool of (other) special interests. So word today that Obama is jettisoning that takeover is going to send these nuts into orbit. Their deep-seated neuroses about betrayal, abandonment and irrelevancy will just surge and I fear for their personal safety. If you see a netroot, hold his hand and murmur soothing sweet nothings in his ear – he needs it.

What has Greenwich Time done with its story on the collapse of Antares?
Our Bridgeport – based paper has been sitting on a story about the rise and fall of Antares Greenwich for weeks now – it's been written, fact-checked and photographed and is ready to go – but it seems to have disappeared down a black hole. Why? If the article itself can't be printed because of libel issues, and I can't see why that should be, assuming the facts are correct, wouldn't the story of its suppression be newsworthy in itself? It would be fascinating to learn how a story is developed, researched and then squelched. If Greenwich Time won't report on itself, maybe its weekly competitor Greenwich Post can do it. Or, if someone with knowledge of the situation (Neil Vigdor – you around?) wanted to send their thoughts along here, I'd be happy to post them.

We declare the war is over
Hey, it worked for Phil Ochs back in the 60s, why shouldn't the Netroots try it again? There's a Kos convention going on in Pittsburgh this weekend – who knew, who cares? – and it turns out that the war in Iraq and Afghanistan that so exercised them during the Bush years is no longer any of their concern. That is so over, man. Mr. Ochs ensured that the war ended for him by hanging himself in his sister's closet; I hope the Netroots show more mettle when they are faced with disappointment.

Will banks ever disappear from Greenwich?
At least one reader fears they won't, but I'm betting they will. As Cos Cobber points out, on-line banking is finally taking hold, and between the Internet and a few strategically placed ATMs, who needs a bank? For those who think that, once here, a bank is forever, I'll remind them of Greenwich in the 1960s, when every four-way intersection had four gas stations. In Riverside alone, McDonalds has replaced the old Phillips 66, the Shell one block east is closed, Doc in the Box replaced Hess, Mavis Tire replaced John Garafolo's Texaco, Rand Insurance stands where a Shell operated and some tile store (across from Neilsens/Burger King/Steak and Ale/Hayday/Balducci now occupies the old Sinclair station. At that, I've probably forgotten a few, yet at the time, they all seemed a permanent part of the landscape.
So I'm not worried. As soon as bank branches stop serving a useful purpose, and I'm guessing that will be soon, they'll wither and die. The good old profit motive will make sure of it. And I'd rather have that test of a business's viability than a romantic ideal imposed on a neighborhood's commercial zone by even one as enlightened as Peter Berg.

This was Kievan Rus – a powerful East Slavic state dominated by the city of Kiev. Shaped in the 9th century it went on to flourish for the next 300 years. The empire is traditionally seen as the beginning of Russia and the ancestor of Belarus and Ukraine. From those ancient times comes a popular proverb "Your tongue will take you to Kiev". If you're wondering how or why a part of your body would transport you to a European capital, here's the story. Legend has it that in 999 a Kiev resident called Nikita Shchemyaka got lost in the far-away steppes and was caught by a militant nomadic tribe. Nikita's tales of Kiev's wealth and splendor impressed the tribe's chief so much, he hooked Nikita by the tongue to his horse's tail and went to wage war against Kiev. That's how Nikita's tongue took him home. But don't panic if you hear the saying – you won't share the unfortunate Nikita's lot. Today, the proverb simply means you can always ask your way around.
Back in those ancient times Russia it seems nearly became a Muslim country. The story goes that its ruler at the time, Prince Vladimir, wanted to replace paganism with a new religion. He was tempted by Islam because it allowed men to have several wives. But Vladimir finally decided against it because he thought his people would be unhappy under a religion that prohibits wine. So in 988 Kievan Rus converted to Orthodox Christianity.
That's interesting. Thanks for the information!

White River honors employees
"A phenomenal job" kept coming across White River School District leaders' lips when the board honored more than 25 custodial and maintenance staff members with Apple of Distinction Awards at its Sept. 23 meeting and study session.
The group was honored not just for its day-in and day-out work, but for the countless hours and abundance of energy it exhibited during the district's major summer move.
"They worked hard during the summer, and I underscore the word hard," said Keith Banks, the districts human resources director.
Superintendent Tom Lockyer said never in his nearly 40 years in education has he seen so much change in a couple of months.
From the time school was out in June until teachers returned in August, Collins Alternative Programs shut its doors and moved to the White River Middle School campus across town.
White River Middle School teachers and staff joined the staff across town at Glacier Middle School and Wickersham School of Discovery closed its doors and teachers and programs moved into Wilkeson Elementary School.
Facilities and Transportation Services Director Rick LaBoyne said it was a great feat that involved 5,000 boxes, exchanges of keys and codes, countless hours of loading and unloading and a few unexpected surprises – all in the soaring heat of the summer.
"You guys did an amazing job," he said to those who were in attendance to accept their awards. "I never doubted it wouldn't get done, because they exuded a level of excitement and professional about their jobs."
In other business, the board:
• rehearsed its presentation for the Washington State School Directors Association conference in November. Board members have been invited to speak about their work in the area of Professional Learning Communities.
• approve out-of-state travel for Director of Student Support Services Hugh Flint to attend the Positive Behavioral Support Conference in Chicago in October.
• hired child care assistant Kim Campbell and supervision educational assistant Kimberlee Wiersma.

What do you get when you combine a gallon of glue, a couple hundred pounds of cardboard and the limitless imagination of 20-odd college students?
At Penn State Harrisburg, that combination resulted in the construction of an entire world inside one of the college's art studios.
It was built for the national Onederful World design contest, organized by the New York-based One Club, a nonprofit association of creative advertising professionals.
The students, who are part of an advanced graphic design class at the college, built the project as one of three class assignments.
They then entered it into the Onederful design contest. If they win — and they lead in voting — at least one member of the class will have the opportunity to travel to New York to take part in Creative Week in the city.
For seniors Abby Hall from Lancaster and Taylor Shokes from Camp Hill, the process was exciting and challenging.
The students had three weeks to design and build their submission.
While most competitors submitted digital designs, the Penn State Harrisburg class was the only one to actually build an entry.
For most of them, it was the first time they took a design off of the computer and into the real world.
Shokes described it as a "chaotic" if not fun process, full of trial and error.
To build their world, the students first sketched their design on a computer, then used a projector to display it life-sized against a wall.
From there, they took sheets of cardboard — donated by a local company — and razor blades.
As they chopped the cardboard apart they had to wrestle with translation and design issues on the fly.
There were challenges with perspective, detail design and lighting that had to be worked out within their self-imposed deadline of three weeks.
They spent almost 500 hours on the project from design to build to photography.
Once they submitted their design the students found out the job wasn't complete.
To win, they had to start — and run — an Internet marketing campaign.
They've used Facebook and Twitter to stretch their reach, becoming their own advocates.
Along they way they've received feedback — some good, some bad — from advertising and design professionals across the world.
For the students, it's been an interesting exposure to the world. All of a sudden, they've gone from working in obscurity to having their project promoted by some of the biggest names in their field.
"To get these designers we admire to re-Tweet us is awesome," Shokes said.
The competition runs through the end of the month.

West New York residents were greeted with a surprise visitor yesterday morning – a runaway deer, a strange sight in an urban environment.
The deer was being chased by cops, who were trying to remove him from the streets, and jumped over a gate and down into a courtyard at The Versailles apartment building at 6600 JFK Blvd. East, according to the building's superintendent, Jamie Martinez.
The police brought in animal control, which tranquilized the deer, about 2-3 years old, and transported him to upstate New York to be released into the wild, Martinez said.
"No bones were broken, he is very healthy," Martinez said of the deer's condition after being tranquilized.
A family of six deer have been frequently spotted nearby in the town and seem to live near River Road, according to The Versailles concierge, Luis Granados, a resident of West New York.
"It's very weird to see this," Granados said.
"You never see a deer here. They probably don't know where to go because of construction that takes away their homes."

To help tide you over for the announcement of the overall MLive Detroit Dream Team selections for boys and girls basektball in the next two days, we give you the All-County Dream Team selections for Wayne Oakland and Macomb. Think of it as a sneak peak considering that most of these players were in the running for the Metro Detroit Dream Team.
Throughout the remainder this week, MLive Detroit will release its picks for Player of the Year and MLive Detroit Dream Teams. Girls Thursday, boys Friday.
Here are the boys basketball Dream Team selections for Wayne, Oakland and Macomb County
Oakland County Dream Team
Yante Maten, Sr., Center - Bloomfield Hills
Résumé: Maten showed just how dominant he can be in the paint this season, shooting 66-percent from the field while averaging 19.5 points and 15.2 rebounds per game. Also averaging 6.9 blocks a game, Maten was named the Gatorade Player of the Year for Michigan and has committed to Georgia.
Nick Owens, Sr., Guard - Clarkston
Résumé: Owens is a sharp-shooter in every sense of the word. Deadly from three-point range, Owens shot 38.3-percent from behind the arc this season, going along with an impressive 52-percentage overall from the field. Not bad for a 6-foot guard. He averaged 15.2 points a night.
Jeron Rogers, Jr., Forward - North Farmington
Résumé: Rogers should return as one of Oakland County's top prospects next winter. This year, his stock continued to rise as he averaged 20 points (48-percent shooting), 11 rebounds and 4 assists.
Edmond Sumner, Sr., Guard - Detroit Country Day
Résumé: This year, Sumner had to carry a much bigger load after Country Day experienced transfers and graduation losses. He was up for the task and averaged 19.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.9 steals per game this season.
Akhemji Williams, Sr., Guard - Rochester Adams
Résumé: Williams had been an absolute stud for Adams his entire career and only improved further this winter by leaving as the school's all-time leader in points (1,237), assists (420) and steals (303). Williams averaged 23.4 points, 6.1 assists, 4.9 steals and 4.7 rebounds this year, leading Adams to two victories over Class A finalist Bloomfield Hills.

Josh Jackson, So., G/F - Detroit Consortium
Résumé: He can play anywhere he wants on the court and make a difference. The 6-foot-7 Jackson is one of the most prized recruits in the state as a sophomore. He averaged 28 points, 14 rebounds, 3.5 steals and 3.0 blocks in leading Consortium to the Class C state title.
Justin Tillman, Sr., Forward - Detroit Pershing
Résumé: Tillman was the engine that got Pershing rolling this year. A very physical inside presence, Tillman averaged 23 points, 15 rebounds and 4.5 blocks a night. He will be taking his talents to Virginia Commonwealth next year.
Cassius Winston, So., Guard - Detroit U-D Jesuit
Résumé: Winston only cemented himself as a game changer as his ability to score and pass the ball has made him a top talent in the state as a sophomore. An acrobatic scorer, he nearly averaged a double-double with 18.4 points and 9.0 assists per game. He also averaged 7.2 rebounds and 3.8 steals.
Aaron Foster-Smith, Sr. Taylor Truman
Résumé: Committed to play at University of Detroit Mercy, Foster leaves Truman as its most decorated player ever. He is the school's all-time leader with 1,312 points and 634 rebounds for his career. He averaged 21.8 points and 11.3 rebounds this season.
Wayne County Second Team
Kris Clyburn, Sr., Guard - Romulus
Evan Kraatz, Sr., Guard - Allen Park Inter-City Baptist
Mar'Qywell Jackson, Sr., Guard - East English Village
Daryl Bigham, Sr., Forward, - Detroit Southeastern
Kenneth Carpenter, Sr., Guard - Detroit Cass Tech
Macomb County Dream Team
Kenny Goins, Sr., Forward - Warren Mott
Résumé: It is hard to argue against how outstanding of a season that Goins had for Warren Mott. He was so dominant, he had a double-double in every game this season. Easily the best player in the MAC White Division, Goins averaged 21.2 points and 14.9 rebounds per game.
Josh McFolley, Jr., Guard - Mt. Clemens
Résumé: One of the best pure shooters in the area, McFolley Averaged 20 points and 5 steals per game this season to help lead Mt. Clemens to a MAC Gold title and a Class C quarterfinal appearance.
Drew Cushingberry, Sr., Guard - Romeo
Résumé: It was no surprise that Cushingberry was named the MVP of the Macomb Area Conference Red Division this year. Averaging 17 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists per game this season, Cushingberry was always the most electric player on the court.
Tony Jackson, Sr., Forward - Warren Fitzgerald
Résumé: One of the main reasons as to why Fitzgerald was able to win a MAC Blue title was because of the efforts of Jackson. Averaging 23.9 points and 12.2 rebounds, Jackson was a scoring machine and could play anywhere on the floor.
Brian Orr, Sr., Forward - Macomb Dakota
Résumé: Dakota will have a hard time replacing a talent like Orr, who averaged 17 points and 9 rebounds per game - all while shooting 59-percent from the field.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A few months ago, they probably didn't know who he was, but now Teddy Atlas is a hero to a group of Hungerford School students.
A renowned boxing trainer and TV commentator, Atlas, who was born and raised in Stapleton, runs the Dr. Theodore A. Atlas Foundation that he started in 1997 in memory of his father, a beloved North Shore physician. The hands-on foundation has its headquarters at 543 Carey Ave.
The Hungerford School, which is based in Clifton, serves special-needs students from 11- to 21-years-old. Some Hungerford programs operate out of satellite sites in public schools throughout the borough.
It wasn't just his presence that elevated Atlas to "hero" status among the sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade kids who attend the Hungerford satellite site in Barnes Intermediate School, Great Kills, but also his present — a surprise gift that will help them get around day-to-day and improve their quality of life.
The Hungerford students at Barnes, many of whom have cerebral palsy and use wheelchairs, have been trying to raise money to purchase a therapeutic walker. It's an expensive device that enables them to get up from their wheelchairs and move during physical therapy. The walkers cost more than $3,000 each. The students need at least two so that everyone who needs the physical therapy has an opportunity to receive it.
With help from faculty and parents, students had managed to raise close to $1,000 through bake sales and donations. They also researched and reached out to foundations and corporations who might be inclined to give them grant money to purchase a walker.
That's how they came across the Atlas Foundation.
Atlas personally goes through all the correspondence delivered to the foundation. He was so moved by the kids' request that he asked his right-hand assistant, Kathy Zito, to set up a visit with the Hungerford students. Unbeknownst to them, he also directed her to purchase a therapeutic walker that he could deliver himself as a surprise.
Called the "Up and Go," the device, made by a Pennsylvania company, Easy Walking, Inc., propels students from a wheelchair-sitting position, then holds them steady with a safety belt, while they hold on to the handlebar and use their legs to walk around.
"It gets them upright so they can strengthen their leg muscles and work on their coordination and balance, and it gives them confidence," explained Donna Bonomi, one of the school physical therapists who spearheaded the students' fund-raising efforts. "Mobility is the key to improving their quality of life," she said.
As promised, on April 13, Atlas paid a visit to the Hungerford students at Barnes.
Arriving in the auditorium, he greeted Hungerford's Principal Mary McInerney, with a big hug. In keeping with his style, Atlas also greeted each student. He looked each in the eyes, personally shook hands, and spoke to each in a sincere and down-to-earth manner, before he walked on stage to take questions from the audience.
Based on their research, the children asked questions about Atlas' life. When Quentin Benjamin, an eighth-grader, asked to see some boxing moves, Atlas called him on stage to demonstrate.
"In all my 14 years with the Teddy Foundation, this was, without a doubt, one of the most amazing days," declared Mrs. Zito.
"Teddy became part of the educational curriculum, including literacy, social studies and current events. Students who are not physically capable of sitting for long periods of time were motivated to sit attentively during the entire presentation anticipating his every word," Ms. Bonomi explained.
At the end of his talk, Atlas announced that the foundation was donating the walker. It was rolled on stage, so students could try it out with assistance from their teachers and aides.
After the presentation, Atlas went back to visit the students' classrooms, autograph pictures and answer more questions.
He found out that one of the students, Maury (Jose) Michel, was a fan of the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), and his favorite WWE wrestler is Jonathan (The Coach) Coachman. He is not able to speak, so Maury communicates using a computer device. Within minutes, Atlas had Coachman on the phone to speak to Maury about his education and to give him a little bit of girlfriend advice.
A beaming Maury said it was the best surprise ever. And it was.

But according to Beth and Karl, the proprietors of the Wooden Duck B&B in Newton, the dining room was recently spruced up and the menu upgraded to include a variety of entrees as well as pub fare... So we thought we give it a try for lunch.
One step into the dining room adorned with a slew of framed photographs and you know immediately that the owners are dedicated members of the horsey set. The atmosphere is homey, the service friendly, and the food surprising good.
Starters include such diverse items as homemade beer battered onion rings with a zippy homemade mayo, bruschetta, Mexican bullets (jalapenos stuffed with cheddar, deep fried, and served with salsa & sour cream), and buffalo shrimp.
Entree-wise, the specialty of the house is a 24-ounce bone-in rib eye. Other meaty offerings include a 10-ounce filet mignon, 14-ounce New York strip, and 14-ounce veal porterhouse. A number of chicken dishes and a hand-tossed 12-inch personal pizza are also available.
Then, of course, patrons are challenged to take a shot a being a legend by devouring the establishment's 2-pound burger. The challenger must eat everything in 45 minutes: the 2-pound burger, 4 slices of cheese, 3 slices of tomato, 2 slices of onion & lettuce, a specialty bun, plus chips and a pickle. The victor's name will appear in the Homestead Hall of Fame Album, and he/she will receive a t-shirt to commemorate the occasion.
Since our appetites are a bit more modest, we settled for the saloon-style fish filet and Wind River Reuben, respectively. The former was batter-dipped, light and flaky, and came on a roll adorned with lettuce & tomato and an excellent tartar sauce. The latter was served open-faced on rye toast and featured lean corned beef and just the proper proportions of sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing.
The restaurant also has a modest wine list and nice selection of brews and other assorted libations. Should you be driving by, the Homestead is definitely worth a look-see. Next time in the area, we plan to stop in for dinner.
Bon Appetit!

That's what residents told the Moreland Commission during a public hearing Wednesday night at the JCC Bernikow Center in Sea View.
Seven speakers joined a sparse audience that turned out for the program, led by former state Attorney General Robert Abrams, and including Benjamin Lawsky, Cuomo's superintendent of financial services; Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice, and the Rev. Floyd Flake of Queens.
A total of 121,000 Staten Islanders were without power after Sandy and "that's about 70 percent of Con Edison's customers out here," said Lawsky, part of the commission established by Gov. Andrew Cuomo under the Moreland Act to investigate the response, preparation, and management of New York state's power utility companies.
Chairman Abrams acknowledged the horrific devastation Sandy inflicted on Islanders.
"There was a tremendous loss of life, tremendous economic devastation. ... People are still suffering psychological damage, which has been enormous to people's lives, people's homes and people's families," he said, adding, "the resiliency and commitment to Staten Island has been one of inspiration as they seek to respond to that storm."
While speakers commended the long hours and hard work by utility employees, most deemed the agencies insufficiently prepared for the catastrophe.
"Disappointing," was how Derek Tabacco, co-founder of Guyon Rescue described the response. "Should this be happening in America in 2013?"
Tobacco said there was "a lack of communication" and his organization was out there providing information and supplies when other agencies' should have situated themselves within the community to better respond.
"Residents were walking to where we were to get information," he said.
Tabacco added concerns about residents needing to call licensed electricians before Con Edison could restore power. He suggested that if Con Edison had already properly trained employees available to handle those repairs, residents could have had their power back much sooner.
Steven Matteo, chief of staff for Councilman James Oddo (R-Mid-Island/Brooklyn) read a joint letter from Oddo and South Shore Councilman Vincent Ignizio (R-South Shore) highlighting their concerns. Among them, non-working traffic lights for weeks following the storm were definitely a problem: "Some areas of Staten Island were like the Wild West," said Matteo, "driving became dangerous and deadly."
District Manager Joseph Carroll of Community Board 1 defended the utilities' service, putting the onus on a lack of communication between the utilities and municipal government.
Other recommendations or concerns included:
* Having site inspections ahead of forecasted storms to better access residents' needs afterwards
* Having crews on standby to begin repair work once the storm subsided
* Moving the borough's power grid underground, so it's not affected by future storms
Abrams stressed that one of the problems with the public utilities is that they are basically monopolies with every little oversight, and that the Public Service Commission, charged with overseeing those utilities are basically "powerless."
Abrams said the recommendations being made to the governor are aiming to change those conditions. A final commission report will be released in the spring.

Bay City John Glenn's Reid Beffrey and Tone Jacobs each threw complete games Saturday to help the Bobcats win their home invitational.
Beffrey went six innings, giving up three earned runs with three strikeouts, in a 13-3 win over Flushing. Jacobs went seven with 12 strikeouts in a 4-1 victory over Goodrich.
Zach Olszewski smacked a two-run home run to lead John Glenn (11-3) in the first game. Sam Brooks had three hits and Ryan Beffrey two doubles.
In Game 2, the Bobcats relied on small ball, scoring two runs on no hits in the second inning.
"We ran the bases well and manufactured some runs," John Glenn coach Jeff Hartt said. "Tone pitched a good ball game. He stayed ahead of the count and pounded the strike zone."
John Glenn, ranked eighth in Division 2 by the Michigan High School Baseball Coaches Association, finished the week 6-0 after doubleheader sweeps of Saginaw Nouvel and Pinconning.
"We are playing pretty well, right now," Hartt said. "We won six games against quality opponents this week."
Flushing's Kyle Randick hit a 2-run home run in the first inning of the Raiders' 14-1 win over Goodrich, and teammates Logan MacWebb and Ryan Vince each added two hits.
Goodrich was led by J.R. Dawley and Jake Gleason, who each finished with three hits on the day.

What is in this article?:
- More research needed for TCD in California walnuts
- Threat to English walnut industry
- TCD management: detection
- At least 60 cases of thousand cankers disease are confirmed in California; about half each in commercial English walnut orchards and native black walnut trees in residential and riparian areas.
- TCD occurs after the walnut twig beetle carries spores of the fungus Geosmithia morbida on the insect's body into the tree where it bores holes in the tree bark and disrupts the phloem tissue.
More About:
The swing of the ax at state and federal budgets continues to chip away funds to battle agricultural pests and diseases in the West including thousand cankers disease (TCD) in walnut (Juglans) species in California.
At least 60 cases of the vector-transmitted disease are confirmed in California; about half each in commercial English walnut orchards and native black walnut trees in residential and riparian areas, says Richard Bostock, UC Davis plant pathologist.
"Thousand cankers is an example of new and emerging diseases which require diagnostic and research expertise to develop effective disease management options," Bostock said.
Research dollars are limited to learn more about TCD in California walnut species. Bostock and his colleagues received funds from the USDA to evaluate various walnut (Juglans) species, including English walnut, for differences in susceptibility and resistance to TCD.
Bostock is collaborating with USDA Forest Service entomologist Steven Seybold of the Pacific Southwest Research Station in Davis, Calif., to understand the biology of TCD, particularly as the disease develops in California.
TCD occurs after the walnut twig beetle (WTB), Pityophthorus juglandis, carries spores of the fungus Geosmithia morbida on the insect's body into the tree. The tiny insect bores holes in the tree bark to the phloem tissue. Numerous entry holes by beetles into the bark and subsequent fungal cankers are the reason for the term thousand cankers.
The phloem is the tree's major pathway for carbohydrate movement. During colonization, the fungus kills the phloem and cankers form around the beetle galleries. Male beetles generate pheromone which attracts females that in turn create galleries to lay eggs. As the phloem degrades, bleeding cankers can become visible on the external bark.
Early TCD symptoms include yellowed leaves and thinning foliage in the tree's upper crown followed by large branch dieback and tree collapse. Often there is bleeding on the branches and trunk. The disease has been confirmed on several black walnut species, English walnut, and Paradox and black walnut rootstocks.
There is no effective control for TCD. The disease is only found in walnuts. Still unknown is how the beetle acquired TCD.
"I don't think there will be a magic bullet to solve the TCD issue," Bostock said. "Insect-vectored canker diseases in trees are very difficult to manage. Our hope is TCD will not become a significant problem in English walnut orchards and California native black walnuts. However, the experience elsewhere in the West in plantings of eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra) is that the disease can aggressively kill trees."
TCD and the association of the fungus and the insect vector were first identified though studies of dying eastern black walnut in Colorado by plant pathologist Ned Tisserat and entomologist Whitney Cranshaw of Colorado State University.
In California, native black walnuts (Juglans hindsii) infected with TCD were first confirmed in Yolo County in June 2008 and one month later in Solano County by the Colorado scientists, Seybold, and UC Davis researchers. Counties with confirmed cases in English walnut include Sutter, Yuba, Tulare, Yolo, Solano, Stanislaus, Fresno, and San Benito.

There's that old joke that goes like this: Two hikers are out in the woods when they come across an angry bear. One of the hikers starts changing into running shoes. The other one says, "What are you doing? You can't outrun a bear." The first one says, "No, but I can outrun you."
A variation of that joke often comes up in joking discussions about the zombie apocalypse, as in, you don't have to outrun the zombies, you only have to outrun the person next to you. (For what it's worth, I don't think that's actually right in the long run. Eventually, everyone else will be devoured, and the more people who are devoured, the more zombies there will be to chase you around.)
Now comes this article that argues if your reason for running is to survive the zombie apocalypse, you might as well stop running, because if there ever were zombies, they wouldn't survive long in the real world: either they'd decompose from the heat, freeze in the cold, fall apart from wounds that wouldn't heal, get eaten away by bugs, or be destroyed by living humans. The article's advice for surviving the zombie apocalypse is just stay inside, watch "24" on DVD, and come out when nature has taken its toll on the undead.
Well, okay then. Fortunately, there are lots of other reasons to get into the running habit.
1) Health benefits
Probably most, if not all, of you are aware of the health benefits of running (notwithstanding a study that purports to show that running too much or too fast can actually be harmful). I found that just six months of running did wonders for my blood pressure and blood lipid profile. My total cholesterol level dropped to 146, with LDL (the bad kind) under 85 -- and that's with eating probably too much fast food. My triglycerides were also under 85. And that's before I got obsessed about running!
2) Social benefits
Running can be solitary, or it can be social. I run solo, but through racing in local events, I've gotten to know some other runners, and now I look forward to seeing them again at the next race. I have great colleagues at Lewis & Clark, but it's nice to start making some local friends in other settings. And what better friends than other runners?
3) Fountain of youth
For me, turning 30 was a fairly happy time. I felt young still, but I also felt like I was finally an adult. (Some of that is probably because the Generation X label sort of tagged twentysomethings as slackers.) Turning 40, on the other hand, was somewhat traumatic. Do you realize that turning 40 means you are starting your fifth decade of life??? (That sounds really ghastly!) Also, I had been mostly sedentary for a decade, which did not help my state of mind.
Since taking up running just under two years ago, however, I've felt way better than I did during my thirties. So much so that I kind of regret not picking up the habit earlier! It certainly helps that I've gotten to about as lean as I was in my early twenties. I don't think I've gotten sick in those two years, other than maybe a brief case of sniffles here and there.
Of course, if you want real inspiration about running as a fountain of youth, check out this story about an 81-year-old runner who finished a marathon in 3:30:26!!! I'm pretty sure that's better than I can do right now.
Fortunately, I've got thirty some years to train . . . .
