(Reuters) - Boston Marathon organizers have banned runners from bringing bags and imposed other measures to tighten security for the April race after a twin bomb attack near the finish line last year killed three people and wounded 264.
The rule changes announced on Wednesday stem from security talks over months between local, Massachusetts, and federal officials in preparation for the world-famous race that could draw some 36,000 runners and spectators on April 21.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the younger of two ethnic Chechen brothers, could face execution if convicted on charges that he and his now-dead brother Tamerlan planted the two homemade pressure-cooker bombs used in the April 15, 2013 attack.
It was the largest mass-casualty attack on U.S. soil since September 11, 2001.
Surveillance photos showed the two men, wearing baseball caps and carrying backpacks, near the site of the blast.
Tamerlan died in a gun battle with police.
Runners hoping to conquer the 26.2-mile race typically are allowed to bring bags carrying personal items that can be shuttled between the start and end points.
The Boston Athletic Association said runners cannot have backpacks or handbags at or near the start or the finish, or along the course, which passes through eight cities and towns.
Bags also cannot be carried on buses running between the start and finish, it said.
Instead, runners will be able to stow changes of clothing and shoes in designated clear plastic bags on Boston Common - about half a mile from the finish area - in the morning, before taking transport to the starting point.
Runners are allowed to pack food, medicine, identification, mobile phones, and keys in smaller waist packs, although headphones were discouraged.
Organizers nixed glass and other containers larger than 1 liter, baby strollers, suitcases, on-the-back hydration pouches, and any non-form fitting, bulky clothing that covers the face or extends "beyond the perimeter of the body," they said.
Race security officials would target unregistered runners - known as "bandits" - as well as ruck-marchers and cyclists, and others who have joined previous races.

The Mirage of Empire
Imperial Grunts: The American Military on the Ground
The Case for Goliath: How America Acts as the World's Government in the 21st Century
In Warrior Politics: Why Leadership Demands a Pagan Ethos (2002) Kaplan moved away from reportage and presented a forceful statement of a realist view of international relations. Peace is a precondition of civilized life; but without the ability to deploy force, he argued, peace is in jeopardy, and along with it civilization. In my view rightly, Kaplan and other realist thinkers believe this connection between peace and the possible use of force to be a permanent feature of human affairs. However, at this point the question is who, if anyone, possesses the ability to use force effectively in global conflicts? In Warrior Politics, Kaplan answered that only the United States possesses this ability. America must accept that history has given it an imperial role:
Despite our anti-imperial traditions, and despite the fact that imperialism is delegitimized in public discourse, an imperial reality already dominates our foreign policy.
Kaplan is not alone in arguing that America must embrace an imperial destiny. While they may not talk of empire, many neoconservative and some liberal commentators have presented a similar view of the US as the final guarantor of global security. Where Kaplan is distinctive is in claiming that America's imperial mission follows from a realist analysis of contemporary international relations, and asking how the sections of the American military that have the task of implementing this mission perceive their role. In Imperial Grunts: The American Military on the Ground, he reports on his travels to US military bases in every quarter of the globe. Kaplan enjoyed a degree of access to US military bases and personnel that is rare if not unique among contemporary journalists. The result has many weaknesses; but it is a consistently thought-provoking and vividly evocative book (the first of several he plans to write on the subject, he tells us) that challenges many preconceptions about the place of the military in American life and the world.
During Kaplan's travels he talked with (and came ardently to admire) middle-ranking commissioned and noncommissioned officers charged with a variety of demanding and dangerous operations. He seems especially enamored of those he met in Special Forces, "small light and lethal units of soldiers and marines," who are able to act with a speed and flexibility denied to "dinosauric, industrial age infantry divisions." For Kaplan, the special commando component of the US Marine Corps (SOCOM) is now the core of the American military. Operating on the front line of the "war on terror" in many far-flung countries, these elite fighters remind Kaplan of the volunteer cavalry and dragoons that fought the highly mobile guerrilla forces of North American Indians who resisted westward expansion in the second half of the nineteenth century:
Just as the stirring poetry and novels of Rudyard Kipling celebrated the work of British imperialism in subduing the Pushtuns and Afridis of India's Northwest Frontier, a Kipling…

Phillies' Pitcher Madson's Wife Cries Foul
Madson humbly called himself "the entertainment." But he was much more. He raised $750 for Manna by auctioning off an autographed Manna T shirt with his number on it. Both Madsons said they do not have their own foundation but like to "lend their support to a variety of charities."
Sarah Madson, festooned with a necklace made from the top of a World Series ring that the Phillies gave all the players wives, is five months pregnant with her fourth child. The Madsons are hoping for a girl because their daughter wants a little sister.
Just back from spring training, she complaining that "her house (a mansion on the mainline) looked like a bomb had hit it." Maybe that is why she decided to unload on the fans.
Sarah Madson declared, "I hate the fans. It is bad enough that they bother us during the season, but they will not leave us alone in December when we go out to eat. We stayed here during the off season last year, but we will be going to California this year. There must be something particularly bad about Phillies fans because all the players leave in the off season."
She had particular snappish words for the female fans of her husband. "Can you believe that they have the gall to give my husband their number in front of me?"
The Justices were busy that week. The next night, they were hosting a benefit the next night at their coffee shop Elixr for the Japanese Red Cross.

Hey, I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt to a woman who is "5 months pregnant with her 4th child." This is a lady who, given any hormone imbalance, is capable of neutering a grown man with one swipe of her claws without any afterthought.ReplyDelete

Maybe Ryan kicked her fat head when he broke his toe last year. I would understand it.ReplyDelete

Eww..what a bitch! If it weren't for THOSE fans and the fact that her husband is even a major league player, she wouldn't even be wearing that damn ring or living on the Mainline (my guess).

Am I crazy or was Ryan Madson single this time last season?ReplyDelete
Very unfortunate although I'm sure she's just venting. All the attention and the fan mania (especially if Ryan's having a bad night on the mound) have got to be TOUGH. And it can't be easy having women throw themselves at your husband. Especially if you're big and pregnant and the groupies are young and thin....ReplyDelete
I'm sympathetic but she does need to remember that fan-appreciation is part of her job. And being in the public eye means NEVER venting to anyone unless you're behind closed doors with trusted friends.
Oh, right. Like Sarah Madson has even the slightest idea of what she is talking about. Hello? Sarah? Philadelphia is known as a city where it's pro athletes settle down to live, long after their playing days are over. And yeah, Cliff Lee hated our fans so much he chose to live here over that Holy Grail of cities to our north. I guess she would prefer to live somewhere that she and her husband can be completely anonymous, like in Tampa Bay or Seattle. But no one there would care enough to print her ridiculous opinions.ReplyDelete
Who is this guy again and why do we care what his cunt wife thinks?ReplyDelete
The writer of this blog is an attention-seeking ex-con (I'm not kidding - google her) who is misquoting and or outright lying. She's picking on a pregnant lady, too. how low!ReplyDelete

WOW!!! You consider yourself a reporter and a journalist? You are posting your ramblings on highly unprofessional blog site. Do you even have a background in writing or any sort of journalistic activity? As a senior at Penn State and a journalism student, I am disgusted with the manner in which you "interviewed" Mrs. Madson. Take your licks from a real team of writers and journalists, shut up, and take responsibility for your irresponsible actions. You are the reason people do not respect the media. You have no business even "reporting" on things that you have no idea about and you need to apologize to the Madson familyReplyDelete

Both nations call for direct, bilateral negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and rejected the United Nations as a venue for promoting unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state.
"The support of countries such as Canada and Romania as committed friends of Israel serves to increase a notable opposition to the Palestinian attempt to avoid direct negotiation," B'nai B'rith International President Allan J. Jacobs said. "Making an end-run around such negotiations can only damage the kind of meaningful progress that can come from Israelis and Palestinians coming to the table together to make peace a reality."
The Canadian government is carefully monitoring the situation, and opposes talks of returning to pre-1967 borders. The Romanian Prime Minister Emil Boc told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he is committed to increasing the already strong relationship between Israel and Romania.
"A unilateral declaration is not a viable solution for lasting peace in the region," B'nai B'rith International Executive Vice President Daniel S. Mariaschin said. "As more countries come to recognize the need for bilateral peace efforts, the Palestinian effort to circumvent direct negotiations will be further discredited."

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Barry University's volleyball team dropped its Sunshine State Conference opener at No. 35 Rollins, 25-21, 25-17, 25-19, Friday night.
Barry (4-4, 0-1 SSC) had leads in the first and second sets, but couldn't hold on, and Rollins (11-2, 1-0) seized control in the decisive third set, and never relinquished the lead.
Barry found itself in a 13-8 hole in the third set before kills by Laine Cielena and Ivana Didanovic and an attack error by Rollins' Kelly Merideth brought the Buccaneers within 14-11. Tashalyn Begon and Didanovic added a couple kills, Cielena fired off an ace, and a block by Didanovic and Ashley Carrero helped Barry draw within a pair, 17-15. But the Tars ran off six of the next eight points, prompting Barry coach Steve Hendricks to call a timeout with his team two points away from termination, 23-17.
A pair of Rollins attacking errors kept the Buccaneers lifeline alive for a couple more serves before the Tars closed out the sweep.
Cielena finished with 10 kills on 26 attempts with two errors for a .308 hitting percentage. Didanovic hit .333 on eight kills in 18 attempts, committing two errors. She had her hand in on four of the Bucs' five blocks.
Rollins became the third team Barry has outblocked this season after the Tars totaled four.
Carrero's kill in the second set pulled the Bucs within a point, 9-8, before the Tars used a pair of sideout-sandwiched 7-1 runs to take a 17-10 lead on kills by Katlyn Sawyer and Kate Stefanski. Cielena and Didanovic each put away balls to halt the bleeding, but Rollins quickly inched closer to taking a 2-0 match lead following a kill by Camille Indest and a Bucs' setting error. Barry's Katie Dooley and Didanovic combined on a block to trigger a 4-0 Buccaneer run, cutting Rollins' lead to 21-16 after Carrero's kill. But even a late kill by Jasmine Serna on a setup from Jayla Trombley wasn't enough to help the Buccaneers pull even in the match as Rollins ran away with the set victory.
Barry led 18-14 in the opening set, following Trombley's ace and a Tars hitting error. But Rollins went on an 8-1 run, capped off by Sawyer's kill to take a 22-19 lead the Tars would not let slip away. The Buccaneers hit .088 in the first set. Rollins had a .167 attack percentage in the set.
Serna had 22 assists, and Kristen Reid scooped up 11 of the Bucs 44 digs. Rollins hit .255, while the Buccaneers had a .136 attack rate. Indest had 10 kills while hitting .600, Merideth added nine kills, and Sawyer eight.
The Buccaneers will play at No. 3 Tampa, a three-set winner over Florida Tech Friday, Saturday at 4 p.m. Barry returns home next Friday and Saturday to continue SSC play against Nova Southeastern and Lynn.

PRESS RELEASE: Board of Governors unveils performance funding metrics
FORT MYERS— In a measure designed to reward university excellence and improvement and maximize the return on investment for Florida students, the Board of Governors has developed a performance funding model for implementation during the 2014-2015 year in partnership with the Legislature and Governor.
Designed with input from university presidents, provosts and boards of trustees, the model builds on the SUS Strategic Plan while acknowledging each university's unique mission. The measure will ensure student access to a first-class education at an affordable cost, providing the best-possible opportunities for graduates to obtain and create good jobs and contribute to a successful Florida workforce.
"We listened to our stakeholders and worked closely with the universities to craft a way forward that is thoughtful and appropriate to today's economic environment," said Board Vice Chair Tom Kuntz. "This represents a new era of accountability and improvement for our State University System."
Marshall Criser III, who recently took the helm as chancellor of the State University System, has presented the new model to legislative, education and business leaders across the state, garnering broad support.
"I applaud Chancellor Criser for making performance funding a priority for our State University System," said Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford. "I look forward to working with him as we continue to move Florida's higher education system forward."
"Florida's policy must be to make sure a college degree actually leads to a real job in the real economy," said Florida Senate President Don Gaetz. "That's why we strongly support the Board of Governors in tying funding of education to the measurable performance of our colleges and universities."
"The new performance funding model will give the citizens of Florida greater confidence that our universities will serve the needs of our state and will also help incentivize success," said Florida State University President Eric Barron. "Just as our students understand that rigor and accountability lead to success, FSU is committed to those same principals for Florida."
The model uses data from the annual SUS Accountability Report to determine funding based on the following system:
- Each university will adhere to seven common metrics: percent of bachelor's degree graduates employed and/or continuing their education; average wages of employed baccalaureate graduates, cost per undergraduate degree; six-year graduation rate for full-time and part-time first time students; academic progress rate (2nd-year retention with GPA above 2.0); bachelor's degrees awarded in areas of strategic emphasis (includes STEM); university access rate (percent of undergraduates with a Pell grant).
- An eighth metric, graduate degrees awarded in areas of strategic emphasis, applies to 10 of the state's 12 universities[1]. New College, which offers undergraduate degrees only,adheres to an alternative metric: freshmen in the top 10 percent of graduating high school class.
- The Board of Governors and Board of Trustees have decided on the final two metrics for each university.
- Each university metric is evaluated based on Excellence or Improvement with five benchmarks ranging from high to low. The maximum score is 50 points, with universities that earn 26 points or higher eligible to receive new funds.
- Each university would contribute a small portion of their recurring base state funds to be allocated through the performance funding model.
- Universities earning 26 points or higher would have their base funding restored.
- Universities earning 25 points or fewer would have a portion of their base funding at risk. Those funds would be reallocated for strategic initiatives at high-performing universities.
- During the first year, a floor would be established so universities would lose no more than 1 percent of their existing base state funds.
- The Board has included $50 million in its Legislative Budget Request, which universities will match with a prorated amount from their recurring base state funds. For example, if $50 million is appropriated, the Board will award a total of $100 million in performance funding to the top-performing and most-improved universities.
By providing new incentives, this model not only recognizes excellence, but encourages universities' year-over-year improvement and creates an even better value for Florida students.

Food drive honors late teacher
To honor a late Wapakoneta Middle School teacher, students and staff can wear sweats to school on Friday.
To honor her community service and to be able to wear those sweats, students need to donate a canned good while staff and administration have been challenged to donate five canned goods or $5 — all of which will be given to God's Storehouse.
Barb Norton, who died late last month of cancer, taught social studies and science to sixth-grade students at Wapakoneta Middle School and often could be found volunteering her time at a local food pantry to better the community.
To honor her and her work, Wapakoneta City Schools has declared Friday, Oct. 19, as "Wear Your Sweatpants, Wind Suits" to school day at Wapakoneta Middle School and Wapakoneta High School. Due to Red Ribbon Week, students at Wapakoneta Elementary School will have a special day honoring Norton at a later date.
"We wanted to make this a fun event and do something we knew Barb would love," sixth-grade teacher Janet Steinke said. "Teachers, administration and maintenance folks will be working together to organize, collect and deliver the donated items.
"Our goal is to honor Barb's memory and share her compassion for helping others," she said.
Steinke admired her good friend and "partner in crime" as a teacher and a person.
"Bard had a kind, helping heart," Steinke said. "One charitable organization that Barb took a great deal of pride volunteering for was God's Storehouse. She spent quite a few hours at their location helping stock shelves and waiting on customers.
"She also helped with food drives," she said of her former colleague. "Barb, along with her 6th grade teammates became partners in education with God's Storehouse a few years ago. The students learned what the organization was all about and sponsored a food drive in May at the Wapakoneta Middle School."
Norton, who was born April 23, 1954 to Wilma and Paul Boehringer, graduated from Wapakoneta High School in 1972. She earned her associate's degree in business from Davis College in 1974.
After being a stay-at-home mother, she returned to school to pursue her dream of teaching and earned her bachelor's degree from The Ohio State University in 1990 and her master's degree from the University of Findlay in 1998. During her 22 years in teaching, Norton taught special education at the high school level before moving to Wapakoneta Middle School.
She also assisted her daughter, Jamie Goudy, at her store, The Herb Ladies, utilizing her knowledge of natural remedies. Norton has two daughters, Goudy and Amy Norton, who lives on the Isle of Gigha, Scotland.
When not teaching, Norton spent most of her time with her granddaughter, Kieran, the daughter of Jamie and William Goudy.
Wearing sweats also reflects upon another side of Norton's pragmatic and realistic character.
"Barb was not a gal who liked fancy frills," Steinke said of the former Wapakoneta High School special education teacher and later a social studies and science teacher at Wapakoneta Middle School. "She was a very down-to-earth teacher who was most comfortable in casual clothing. One of her favorite items to wear was her Wapak Redskins sweatshirt."
Norton also valued her community. She served on the church council and the teacher's union, the Wapakoneta Education Association, or WEA, and taught Sunday school.
"Mrs. Norton took an active roll in working on committees within the school district and with the WEA)," Steinke said. "She was very comfortable in expressing her ideas to board members, administration and other staff. She was very compassionate about doing what was best for her students and the folks she worked with."
In light of that compassion, the Wapakoneta City Board of Education members, school administrators and WEA executive board and members took the initiative to "honor and memory of Barb Norton" and "to work together to sponsor a district wide Food Drive for God's Storehouse."
They all hope to make this an annual event.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood spoke to NBC Nightly News about a close call at Washington Reagan National Airport. Two US Airways commuter planes were cleared to take off in the wrong direction, and headed toward a third plane that was preparing to land at the airport. The planes avoided collision but passed too close for federal minimum standards. NBC's Pete Williams reports.
Updated at 4:25 p.m. ET -- Transportation officials on Thursday acknowledged a "loss of separation" involving three US Airways regional jets at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Tuesday, but insisted the aircraft were never on a collision course.
"At no point were these planes on a head-to-head collision point," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood told reporters on Thursday.
Michael Huerta, head of the Federal Aviation Administration, said the incident occurred because of a miscommunication between a manager at Potomac Tracon — the region's radar control facility — and traffic management coordinators at Reagan National.
LaHood and Huerta credited a tower controller at Reagan National who recognized a problem and handled the situation.
Potomac Tracon altered traffic flow at Reagan National because of bad weather, FAA said in a statement, which "led to a loss of the required separation between two regional jets" departing from the same runway and a third regional jet that was bound for Reagan National. The agency is investigating "and will take appropriate action to address the miscommunication."
All of the planes were equipped with collision avoidance systems, but none was activated by the incident, Huerta said.
When asked by a reporter, LaHood refused to discuss what may have happened if the planes had not been diverted by the air traffic controller.
As TODAY's Natalie Morales reports, federal officials are investigating why air traffic controllers at Washington National Airport instructed two planes to take off in the path of a landing jet.
Federal guidelines require that commercial jets remain separated by at least 1,000 vertical feet and 3.5 lateral miles.
The agency said the landing plane, which departed from Portland, Maine, came within 800 vertical feet and about nine-tenths of a lateral mile of one departing plane and 800 vertical feet and 2.4 lateral miles of the second plane. The other planes had been departing for Kansas City and Columbus, Ohio. The planes all reached their destinations safely.
On Wednesday, the Washington Post reported the three US Airways jets carrying 192 passengers and crew members came within seconds of a midair collision around 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday, citing federal officials with direct knowledge of the incident.
The Post report cited a discussion between a pilot and an air traffic controller:
"Are you with me?" the tower controller asked the inbound pilot, checking to see whether he was tuned to her radio frequency. When the pilot acknowledged her, she ordered him to make an abrupt turn to the south to avoid the other two planes.
"We were cleared [for landing] at the river there," the pilot said after breaking off the approach northwest of the airport. "What happened?"
After a pause, the controller said, "Stand by, we're trying to figure this out."
As she directed him to make a loop around the airport for a second landing attempt the pilot cautioned: "We really don't have enough fuel here for this. We have to get on the ground pretty quick."
In fiscal year 2010, the FAA recorded 1,887 operational errors, which the agency defines as a "situation in which an air traffic controller fails to maintain a safe distance between two or more aircraft, in the air or on the ground, or a safe distance from terrain, obstructions and certain airspace not designated for routine air travel." That was an increase from fiscal year 2009, in which the FAA recorded 1,234 such errors.
US Airways has more than 230 daily departures from the airport to over 70 cities. U.S. lawmakers frequently fly in and out of the airport, and some members of Congress took notice of the close call.
"Such near misses and any operational errors are calls to action," said Rep. John L. Mica, R-Fla., chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
The airport had another high-profile safety incident in March 2011 when two airliners landed without assistance from the tower. Pilots were unable to raise the lone supervisor on duty at midnight. The supervisor later acknowledged he had fallen asleep. A second controller has since been added to the midnight shift at Reagan National.
In 2010, U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin was aboard a United flight involved in a near-collision at Regan National. He said more should be done to improve the nation's air traffic control policy and safety.
"Only better training and disciplinary action for those who violate the rules will solve the problem," Sensenbrenner said in an e-mail.

Sara Jo Hammond, 36
Sara Jo Hammond, 36, passed away unexpectedly, Tuesday, March 4, 2014 at her home in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Sara was born in Blackfoot, Idaho on Sept. 8, 1977, and graduated from Blackfoot High School in 1995. She worked in hotel management in Salt Lake City since moving from Idaho.
Sara was loved and cherished by many because of her beautiful soul and fighting spirit which she displayed so eloquently when she was recovering from being badly injured by a driver while walking in downtown Salt Lake many years ago.
Sara was blessed with many wonderful friends who all meant the world to her. In her management job she enjoyed meeting new people and making lifelong friendships.
She shared an extremely close and loving bond with her mom, Jolynn, brother Kyle and her significant other of 14 years, J. J. Hutchings, and her father, Kim. She anxiously anticipated meeting and being an aunt to her first and only nephew, Kyle and Kumi's new baby, Noah.
Sara is survived by her father, Kim (Chris) Hammond of Pocatello; mother, Jolynn Hammond of Blackfoot; brother, Kyle (Kumi) of Nagaki, Japan; nephew, Noah, her life partner, J. J. Hutchings of Salt Lake City, Utah; and maternal grandfather, Homer Chaffin of Salmon. She was preceded in death by grandparents, Sally Chaffin and Dilworth and Lila Hammond.
A viewing will be held Saturday, March 8, 2014 from 6-8 p.m. at Hawker Funeral Home, 132 S. Shilling Ave., Blackfoot, Idaho.
Just as Sara would always sing to her mom the theme from the "Golden Girls," we now say to her "Thank you for being a friend."
Condolences may be sent to the family at email@example.com

Formed in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1978, Clas Yngström & Sky High released albums all through the 80's, and the most commersial sucessfull album to date, Humanizer in 1987. Although their breakthrough album, called Freezin' Hot (released in the summer of 1985) made Sky High a household name in Sweden and Scandinavia.

FAIRBURY, Ill. — From the crowing roosters to the pigs in the pen, Spence Farm at first glance might be mistaken as just another farm camp for city slickers. Barns, tents, chore schedules, grills, cots and coolers are ready for campers to spend two days in the country, 100 miles south of Chicago.
But then campers started unpacking their professional knife kits. One brought her family's Italian antipasto dish to share. And another took his roasted pork shoulder to the walk-in cooler.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
Last spring, Jessica Engel, a cross country runner at the University of Oklahoma, was granted the chance to be a Sooner student-athlete for a little longer.
Engel, currently a redshirt senior, returned to school for her 2009 campaign with a pain in her lower leg. After running just one race, Engel discovered that she had a stress fracture in her tibia. The following 2010 year, Engel suffered the same injury and was unable to compete the entire season.
A decision had to be made, and Engel filled out the paperwork to request a sixth year of competitive eligibility from the NCAA. Her request was granted toward the end of outdoor track season last spring.
"When I found out, I was actually closing out what I thought was my Sooner career," Engel explained. "I was a little bit surprised because I wasn't sure what the chances of that happening were, but at the same time, I was excited that I was going to get another opportunity."
Throughout the duration of her two injuries, Engel showed determination, explained Molly Ferguson, Engel's senior teammate.
"It just shows her drive to succeed and her love for the sport," Ferguson remarked.
Even though she could not run herself, Engel still showed up at meets to support her teammates.
For Ferguson, Engel leads by example. Whether going through drills or weight room activities, she makes sure to do it perfectly every time.
"We always joke around because she always looks really intimidating and serious throughout our practices," Ferguson said. "But she's super sweet. She cares about us and wants us to do well."
Assistant coach Mary Jayne Reeves agrees that Engel leads by example.
"She is not very vocal. She isn't loud and doesn't cheer," Reeves shared. "There is a silent excellence about her. She doesn't draw attention to herself. She is very humble and meek about her capabilities, but that meekness is actually really loud."
Engel's toughness is a quality that sets her apart from other runners, according to her distance coach.
"Different training situations show how tough an athlete is, and it is a quality that is not created," Reeves explained. "Someone is either tough or they are not, and Jess is."
Reeves continued about her runner's success, "She is also focused, which is important in distance running where training well consistently is vital to success."
"There is no magic in running," Reeves went on to say. "There is in football and basketball where you might get a lucky shot, but there isn't in running. Every weakness and strength is revealed when you are out there, and she just has the ability to pull all those strengths together. That's why she does so well."
The senior began to run in eighth grade after the varsity coach asked her to come by and try out at a practice. Even though she didn't really want to go, her dad convinced her to try it, and she's been running ever since.
Outside of running, Engel enjoys baking, cooking and reading.
"One of her specialty recipes is fruit pizza," Ferguson recalls. "I remember a time where she made one for me and another teammate. We stood in the parking lot rubbing our stomachs waiting for the pizza."
On her visit to OU, Engel said she clicked with the girls on the team and looked up to Jess Eldridge, an OU runner at the time. That, combined with her love of the campus and atmosphere, contributed to her decision to become a Sooner.
"Everyone around here is just so proud to be a Sooner, and that atmosphere can be hard to find," Engel remarked.
For Engel, academics are important as well, and since she wants to do her best in everything she purses, she does her best to balance the roles of student-athlete.
"A lot of times it can be pretty hard to do if you're not dedicated and focused, so I think that those two qualities of dedication and focus have really helped me balance everything and not let one completely crumble due to the other," Engel explained.
At the recent Big 12 Championship held October 27 in Austin, Texas, Engel finished fifth, earning her second-consecutive All-Big 12 honor.
Engel said the race gave her some confidence going into the NCAA Midwest Regional on November 9 in Springfield, Mo., while also showing where she needs to polish her technique.
After graduating in August 2012 with a bachelor's degree in health and exercise science, Engel picked up a second major in microbiology in order to compete this fall.
Currently she is completing the prerequisites needed for admission into physician's assistant school. In the spring, she hopes to run unattached at some track meets.
But for now, Engel will continue to don the Crimson and Cream and run in that Oklahoma uniform.

Editor's note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the statue in the Ogden High foyer was that of a lion. We apologize for the error.
OGDEN — The teen web series filmed in Ogden last fall spent more than $6.3 million in Utah and created more than 150 local jobs, according to the Utah Film Commission.
"Youth & Consequences," which premiered on YouTube Red on Wednesday, March 7, filmed at several locations in Ogden, including on Historic 25th Street, Union Station and Beus Pond Park. But the film's primary set is Ogden High School, which was featured prominently in the first trailer for the series and in the first two episodes.
RELATED: Web series filmed at Ogden High School gets trailer, March 7 premiere date
The eight-episode teen comedy/drama focuses on a power struggle at the fictional Central Rochester High School, with YouTube star Anna Akana playing the lead role of popular teen Farrah Cutney.
THIS. This is our heart and soul. 🙌🏻 💕🌟Forever thankful for the cast and crew who made #YouthandConsequences possible. All episodes now streaming on @YouTube Red. https://t.co/HmG77TqTxg pic.twitter.com/sG2TD27RbH— Youth & Consequences (@YandCShow) March 8, 2018
"People here in Utah, and in Ogden specifically, have been extraordinary to us. You go outside and see the mountains of Utah and you see that sky that never ends," show executive producer Blair Singer told the Utah Film Commission. "The idea of putting our characters in front of something so expansive seemed like it had a lot of possibilities."
The Utah Film Commission also released a video, showing a behind-the-scenes look at filming at Ogden High and interviews with the cast about the production.
"Youth & Consequences" opens immediately on location at Ogden High, with students milling about in the parking lot and on the school's front lawn, while Akana drives along Washington Boulevard. Several scenes take place outside on the school steps, inside the cafeteria, theater and near the large tiger statue in the school.
The Ogden School District received $67,500 for letting the production company film at Ogden High and more filming could occur if the series is a success.
The first two episodes are available for free on YouTube Red, while users must have an account to view the rest of the series. YouTube Red offers a one-month free trial and is $9.99 per month afterward.
The show also stars Marcia Cross ("Desperate Housewives"), Cary Elwes ("Princess Bride"), Sean Grandillo ("The Real O'Neals") and Kara Royster ("Pretty Little Liars").

Auxiliary Bishop of Indianapolis Christopher Coyne will deliver the second Bishop Simon Bruté Lecture at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 10, in the Mother Theresa Hackelmeier Memorial Library Auditorium on the campus of Marian University. His lecture is titled "The Year of Faith and the New Evangelization: Vatican II Continued."
"The Marian University community welcomes Bishop Christopher Coyne back to campus for this important lecture—particularly during this Year of Faith, when we recall the historic moment that Vatican II was for our Church," said Marian University President Daniel J. Elsener. "It is a special privilege to have Bishop Coyne share with us 'a young bishop's perspective' on the magnificent, forward-looking teaching that was promulgated by the Council fathers—in full continuity with 2000 years of Catholic faith and practice. We urge all members of our archdiocesan family to join us for this wonderful evening of prayer and reflection!"
This lecture is co-sponsored by the Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary and the Marian University Department of Theology and Philosophy.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States: Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of any Indian to tribal or other property.
Indians who are otherwise eligible to vote may not be denied that right because of their race. Their right in this respect is protected by the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which says:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
In order to exercise the right of suffrage, Indians must of course comply with the conditions equally required of other voters, and may be denied the privilege of voting if they fail to comply with the requirements of the law as to registration, payment of poll tax, or do not meet the educational or other qualifications for electors, etc., as provided by the State laws.
It will be observed that the act provides that the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of any Indian to tribal or other property. Therefore, the restrictions upon the trust property—real or personal—of Indians are not removed by the passage of this act. Questions relative to the control or management of trust property are, therefore, not changed by the act but are to be handled on their own merits as heretofore.
Prior to the passage of the act of June 2, 1924, about two-thirds of the Indians of the United States were already citizens. There were a number of different provisions of law by which or under which Indians became citizens previous to June 2, 1924. Some of the most important ways of their attaining citizenship were as follows:
1. Treaty Provision.—In some of the treaties or agreements with certain tribes of Indians provision was made whereby Indians desiring to become citizens might become such by complying with certain prescribed formalities somewhat similar to those required of aliens. For example, see Articles 13, 17, and 28 of the Treaty of February 23, 1867, with various bands or tribes of Indians. (15 Stat. 513, vol. 2, 960.)
2. Allotment under the Act of February 8, 1887.—In the act of February 8, 1887 (24 Stat. 388, vol. 1, 33-38), Congress provided for the allotment of land to the Indians in severalty and in section 6 thereof declared that Indians so allotted should become citizens of the United States and of the State in which they reside. (See the language of the Act.)
3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple.—In the Act of May 8, 1906 (34 Stat. 182, vol. 3, 181), Congress amended the Act of February 8, 1887, so as to postpone citizenship of Indians thereafter allotted until after a patent in fee simple had been issued to said Indians. Provision was also made whereby patent in fee might be issued by the Secretary of the Interior to competent Indians before the expiration of the twenty-five-year trust period. Therefore Indians whose trust patents are dated subsequent to May 8, 1906, and who have also received their patents in fee simple have become citizens under said act of May 8, 1906.
4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life.—Section 6 of the Act of February 8, 1887, both before and after its amendment of May 8, 1906, provided:
That every Indian born within the territorial limits of the United States who has voluntarily taken up within said limits his residence, separate and apart from any tribe of Indians therein, and has adopted the habits of civilized life is hereby declared to be a citizen of the United States, and is entitled to all the rights, privileges, and immunities of such citizens, whether said Indian has been
Page 1166
or not, by birth or otherwise, a member of any tribe of Indians within the territorial limits of the United States, without in any manner impairing or otherwise affecting the rights of any such Indian to tribal or other property.
5. Minor Children.—The Solicitor of the Interior Department has held that where Indian parents became citizens upon allotment, their minor children became citizens with them, and that children born subsequent thereto were born to citizenship.
6. Citizenship by Birth.—(a) An Indian child born in the United States of citizen Indian parents is born to citizenship. (b) Legitimate children born of an Indian woman and a white citizen father are born to citizenship.
7. Soldiers and Sailors.—Congress in the act of November 6, 1919, ante 232, provided that Indian soldiers and sailors who served in the recent World War and who have been honorably discharged might be granted citizenship by courts of competent jurisdiction. (Indian Office Circulars, Nos. 1587 and 1618.)
8. Marriage.—The act of August 9, 1888 (25 Stat. 392, vol. 1, 38), provided that Indian women who married citizens of the United States thereby became citizens of the United States. This provision is apparently inconsistent with the act of September 22, 1922 (42 Stat. 1020), and would probably be held to have been repealed by the latter act, though not specifically mentioned therein. Marriages corning within the act of August 9, 1888, and consummated before the passage of the act of September 22, 1922, would not of course be affected by the later act.
9. Special Act of Congress.—Sometimes Congress makes provision for a particular tribe of Indians or a particular group of Indians to become citizens. For instance:
(a) In the act of March 3, 1901 (31 Stat. 1447, vol. 1, 114), provision was made for the extension of citizenship to the Indians in the "Indian Territory" by amending section 6 of the act of February 8, 1887 (24 Stat. 388, vol. 1, 33). It should be observed, however, that in the act of May 8, 1906 (34 Stat. 182, vol. 3, 181), amending said section 6, the language, "and every Indian in the Indian Territory," was not included.
(b) In the act of March 3, 1921 (41 Stat. 1249-50, ante, 317), citizenship was extended to all members of the Osage tribe of Indians.
The above is not intended to be a complete list of the acts of Congress involving the citizenship of Indians, as there are a number of other laws including those affecting particular tribes, but it is believed the foregoing list or statement is sufficient to give a general idea of the main principles or rules that were involved in the determination of whether or not a particular Indian was a citizen prior to the act of June 2, 1924, supra.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The man accused of opening fire at Los Angeles International Airport and killing a federal security screener and wounding three other people is expected to plead not guilty on Thursday to charges of murder and attempted murder of federal officers.
This is the second court appearance for Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23, in connection with the November 1 shooting spree.
On December 4, U.S. Magistrate Judge David Bristow ordered Ciancia held without bond after finding he posed a danger to the community and represented a potential flight risk. Ciancia did not enter a plea at that hearing.
Three charges in the 11-count indictment against Ciancia carry a maximum sentence of life in prison or the death penalty; federal prosecutors have not decided yet whether to seek capital punishment if Ciancia is convicted.
In addition to a single count of murder and two counts of attempted murder of federal officers, Ciancia was indicted on four counts of committing an act of violence at an international airport and four counts of firearms offenses.
Ciancia is accused of walking into Terminal 3 at the airport, removing a semi-automatic rifle from a bag and opening fire on an unarmed Transportation Security Administration officer standing at the entrance to a security checkpoint.
The TSA agent, Gerardo Hernandez, 39, was the first agent slain in the line of duty since the agency was created in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks.
Authorities say Ciancia then stalked past metal detectors through the checkpoint and into the airplane-boarding area, shooting and wounding two other TSA employees and a traveler before he was critically wounded in a gunfight with police at one of the world's busiest airports.
Ciancia's hearing will be held at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, located east of Los Angeles in San Bernardino County, because Ciancia is being treated for his injuries there.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Have you ever wondered what it would be like to cycle around France with your own personal tour guide?
Former Saratogian Maribeth Clemente pedaled her way around France and documented her adventures in her new book, "Tour of the Heart."
Clemente, who lived here from 1996 to 2001, concedes she is a Francophile. She previously penned "The Chic Shopper's Guide to Paris," "The Riches of Paris: A Shopping and Touring Guide" and "The Riches of France: A Shopping and Tour Guide" (St. Martin's Press).
In her latest jaunt, which includes notes on Saratoga Springs, she returns to France with her two new loves, boyfriend Pete and her road bike, Bella. What ensues is part love story with a touch of humor, part travelogue and part adventure.
The hilly and romantic French countryside of Alsace, Burgundy, Provence and the Southwest will leave readers as breathless as the two cyclists themselves, as they try to navigate the ups and downs of their relationship and maintain the balance of power between them. This is a must-read for anyone who has ever booked a trip, planned an adventure or daydreamed about a relationship and learned that the only sure thing in life is that there will be a beautiful surprise at every turn in the road.
Clemente will be here to sign books from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9, at Blue Sky Bicycles, 71 Church St., and, from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 24, at Market Block Books in Troy.
Books are available at booksellers nationwide. and online at Amazon. It is available for Kindle users at http://amzn.to/PtkC1J.

Bead- Information
WELCOME TO Paper Bead Girl
We're committed to helping with all your paper beading needs.
Paper Bead Girl was developed out of pure frustration of not being able to find any tools or instruction in the art of paper beads. In the beginning I used the common "tools" the toothpick and knitting needles that most people were using and found my beads were hard to make and coming out very irregular. This has been a passion of mine and through the hard work and dedication of so many.... we're seeing high quality products coming to the market!
Our Tools have been rated as favorite by magazines and are currently being sold around the world. We've opened up a new location to continue the education of this beautiful art and we look towards the future with great optimism.
Welcome to all things paper beads!
As seen in BeadStyle Magazine May 2011
Mix you store bought beads with your paper beads to create wonderful works of art.

My organization is considering using the Microsoft Exchange Intelligent Message Filter as our front-end spam filter, but we're still running Exchange 2000 Server. Can I install just one Exchange Server 2003 system to host the Exchange Intelligent Message Filter?
Exchange Intelligent Message Filter requires Exchange 2003 but doesn't require native Exchange 2003 mode. If you install it on an Exchange 2003 server and use that server as your SMTP bridgehead, the filter will function as a gateway spam filter. However, you won't be able to take full advantage of its capabilities.
In a native Exchange 2003 organization, Exchange Intelligent Message Filter implements two blocking levels, according to the spam confidence level (SCL) thresholds that you set. First, the filter drops messages that have an SCL higher than the specified gateway threshold; this level of action occurs regardless of the mode in which your organization runs.
Second, if you host mailboxes on an Exchange 2003 server, the filter processes messages that have an SCL lower than the gateway threshold but higher than the Store threshold and files those messages in users' junk mail folders. If your mailboxes aren't on an Exchange 2003 server, the filter simply delivers those messages to users' Inboxes. Be aware, too, that Exchange Intelligent Message Filter is available only to Exchange customers who are signed up for the Software Assurance (SA) program.

A man who is a trap. No, not kind of trap. I mean that they will draw you under their spell and make you fall irrevocably in love with them and then do nothing about it. Picture falling in love with a pillow. Or better yet, a skinny, pizza-faced pillow, since they have like zero body fat. Will have girls crying for months in self-doubt. May be even worse than a playa. Buyer beware.

A girl with a smile always on her face, inner beauty is her key. She is a loyal friend but when crossed can be the nastiest person you come across. True friends will stand by her, hard to get on with as she is honest and to the point. She loves to be in the centre of drama and is a loud outgoing person, although she is an old soul. She is a loyal girlfriend but isnt scared to have her fun when single! Will make a good wife and loving mother.

What is the Autobiography?
The Autobiography is a resource designed to encourage people to think about and learn from intercultural encounters they have had either face to face or through visual media such as television, magazines, films, the Internet, etc. There are therefore two separate but parallel tools:
Autobiography of Intercultural Encounters (AIE)
also available in
Polish and
Images of Others: An Autobiography of
Intercultural Encounters through Visual Media
also available in
The focus is on intercultural encounters that have made a strong impression or had a long-lasting effect on the people who use the AIE or AIEVM. In discovering what underlies these encounters, users become more aware of their experience and reflect on their reactions, thereby developing their intercultural competences.
Online self-study course for educators
A self-study online course is available for educators and youth workers who would like guidance in working with the Autobiography of Intercultural Encounters. The course contains activities based on the key concepts and theory underpinning the AIE to help teachers, teacher trainers and youth workers explore the potential of this pedagogical tool for learning through reflection on personal intercultural experiences (English only).
What is an intercultural encounter?
An intercultural encounter can be an experience
between people from different countries or it
can be an experience between individuals from
other cultural backgrounds in the same country,
for example, from other regional, linguistic,
ethnic or religious backgrounds.
How are intercultural encounters explored in
the Autobiography?
Users of the AIE and the AIEVM develop understanding and competences for the future by reflecting critically on their experiences. They select and describe specific intercultural encounters, analyse their experience individually, and identify different aspects of their current intercultural competences as a stimulus to developing their competences further.
Who is the Autobiography for?
The Autobiography is for everyone: it can be used across the curriculum in schools or any other educational context contributing to lifelong learning. It can also be used outside formal educational contexts as a self-evaluation and development tool.
Both the AIE and the AIEVM come in two versions:
a Standard Version - for use by older learners and adults
a Version for Younger Learners - for use by children who need help from an adult in reading and writing and in thinking back over their encounter.
The AIE and the AIEVM are accompanied by a range of supporting materials. All of these components may be downloaded, saved to your computer and used freely. Click on the relevant icon to access the resource.

>General Running>The Science of the Long Run
Queen of 3rd Place
We have had an incidence (occasion?) that this ultra guy tried to set up and he (or I think it was "she") was already like 3+ hours...
That was me, coming off my one and only 50-mile event, can't say I'm really an ultra gal.
One thing I learned from ultra training is that those long trail runs (4, 5, 6 hrs) didn't beat me up NEARLY as much as the 3-hr (ish) long runs I used to complete in marathon training. That 50-miler ended up being a VERY good experience and I was able to run strong throughout. In contrast, any marathons I had tried to race (vs. those run just for fun) had me toeing the line with beat up legs.
More recently, I've been keeping my road long runs at 2:30 - 2:40 in duration. With that duration, I get a nice workout where I'm able to run strong for the entire time, maybe even ramp up the pace the last several miles, and run normally the next day. I think there's a quality-of-the-workout issue here (and I think Nobby has been trying to get at this idea). What is the longest period of time you can run and still finish the workout strong? Conversely, if you're struggling at the end, have you accomplished anything that's going to help you on race day?
Ex runner
From the Wiki - "This correlation may include physiological factors as well as physiological ones."
Huh? Looks like this typo needs to be changed.
I used to run all my usual long runs for 3hrs, but as I have gotten faster, I have reduced my usual long run down to 2.5hrs as the 3hr runs were almost becoming a marathon.
I would just mention in passing, since some may not be aware of it, that fellrnr is a "top level athlete" - assuming we're still counting utlrarunners as "athletes"
I would just mention in passing, since some may not be aware of it, that fellrnr is a "top level athlete" - assuming we're still counting utlrarunners as "athletes"
Indeed. Fellrnr competed for the USA in the World 24hr Championships in Katowice, Poland in 2012.
For those who are into 24hr races, I think the team was Serge Arbona, Phil McCarthy, Fellrnr, Mike Morton, Jon Olsen and Harvey Lewis. I can't remember if Fejes got in or not.
