Adding Up Toyota's Expensive Software
5 comments post a comment
Take your pick: Do it the expensive way or get it right.
Toyota has agreed to a $1.2 billion fine to settle a US government criminal case over unexpected acceleration in Toyota and Lexus vehicles that resulted in injuries and deaths. A jury in Oklahoma found that, in one case at least, the culprit was the firmware. (The plaintiff's lead expert, Mike Barr, is giving a talk about the case at EELive!)
This payout is on top of another $1B settlement for the same problem. Bottom line: Poor firmware has cost the company staggering amounts of cash. Testimony shows that the firmware wasn't just suffering from a bug. Instead it was reeking with problems.
One has to wonder what the engineers were thinking. Everyone in this industry faces twin pressures: to be fast and to go cheap. Deliver now, and cut engineering costs. I have no insight into how many person-hours went into the Toyota code, nor do I know the delivery schedule. But let's look at that most recent $1.2B payout. How does that compare to the engineering effort? The NASA report talks about a code base of "more than 280,000 lines." Mike Barr tells me there were "over a million lines of C source code." For argument's sake, let's figure on a million.
The most expensive code ever written is that of the Space Shuttle, which ran about $1,000/LOC (according to 201 Principles of Software Development by Alan M. Davis). With just the most recent settlement, Toyota's code cost them over $1,200 per line -- without accounting for any engineering effort. The difference is that the Space Shuttle's code is the best ever written, averaging about one bug per 400KLOC, and Toyota's has been intensely litigated. I am not suggesting that Shuttle development practices should be anyone's goal.
Perhaps a better benchmark is avionics. It's largely believed that no one has been killed by defective firmware in commercial aircraft, yet that code controls pretty much everything. Sure, the pilots can take over, but modern planes are fly-by-wire. The pilot flies a computer.
What does it cost to develop the fabulous software that mediates billions of passenger-miles per day in the air? Commercial avionics is done to a standard called DO-178B (supplanted recently by DO-178C). Level E applies to software that won't impact operations in any significant way. Level A is for code that can lead to the loss of the aircraft.
How much does it cost to write code to level A? Who knows? Data is sparse and proprietary. However, most pundits figure it's about twice the cost of typical commercial firmware. Others ("DO-178B Costs Versus Benefits" by Vance Hilderman), in this case based on data from some 150 avionics programs, claim code written to level A is 65% more expensive than that to level E. That figure includes both the engineering effort and the certification process.

Hi Mark
I can understand the theoretical arguments for all these asserts, but I can't actually envision writing such code in the real world.
And I don't think it's good enough to say people ought to - the simple fact is that, in general, they won't.
So, what are your thought on this

Going back over my old blog posts, I'm reminded that I created the 'alternative Ashes', tracking where the trophy would be if every Test cricketing nation was allowed to compete for them, not just England and Australia.
In our last update, the Ashes had made their way to Sri Lanka but now they've moved on again. Australia won this year's series between the two countries 3-0, so as well as winning the Warne-Muralitharan trophy, they've now claimed the Ashes back as well. Their first defence of them will be against India next month.

I have had this bass guitar for over a year now and it is awsome. The pan pot is very nice to have when looking for a little different sound. The electronics on the guitar are good with great tone. The noiseless pickups are grate.
Comments about Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass V:
I have own my Fender Dlx Active J Bass since Dec.2004. I have been in the music for well over 45 yrs. and have owned all brands of instruments. I own Hofner V 63 which I enjoy very much. But this Fender takes the cake! It has a pre-amp system that when equalized properly does wonders with slaps and pops. I own the sunburst color and everyone has always something to say about the looks or the sound. It was made in Mexico but don't let that fool you because the electronics were made in the USofA. I can assure you that the American counterpart is not above this baby since I have played both.

A Sticky Situation: Getting Tar Off Your Horse
- Aug 1, 2010
- Topics:
Q:I painted some boards with tar rather than black paint. Of course my bay and white Pinto mare got some in her mane and on the white part of her neck. She has very sensitive skin. How can I safely remove the tar from her hair coat and skin? What should I worry about in terms of the aftermath and how should I treat it?
Marie Murphy, Aiken, S.C.
A: In doing research on this topic I found a number of suggestions ranging from organic to downright scary treatments for the horse in question. With any horse, the protection of the underlying skin would be the biggest concern I would have.
The old remedies were to use turpentine, gasoline, mineral spirits, or kerosene and a rag, and then hose the area with soap and water. While I believe this to be effective, I would have to question the effect on the underlying skin. Especially for a horse with known sensitization, I suspect any of these treatments would produce a skin reaction of epic proportion.
The more ingenious solutions for tar removal involved the use of kitchen pantry supplies. Among the most unique were olive oil, peanut butter, or plain butter applied with either a cloth or toothbrush; mayonnaise applied directly on the area; or Wesson oil with no stipulation as to whether the canola, corn, vegetable, or best blend were used. All of these remedies were reportedly easy on the skin and provided excellent removal.
Others suggested a trip to the shop was in order. A number of sites recommended a composite of Windex, dishwashing liquid, and all-purpose cleaner equally mixed together; spraying WD-40 on the tar and letting it stand for 10 seconds is reported to work in two minutes or less. A product called Goo Gone allegedly works "amazingly" well.
The medical treatments advocated the use of Avon Skin So Soft, with reports that its use was followed by excellent removal of tar, greases, and oils out of hair. Apply it after working it into your hands and follow by washing with regular soap. Another medical product called 50/50 cream (half white soft paraffin and half liquid paraffin used for eczema patients) supposedly works great. Directions for use were to cover the affected areas with the cream and leave in place for two hours. The tar should then rub off. Some areas required longer, more liberal application, but all reports described this as an easy, painless, and effective method.
I have been fortunate to not have this predicament with the horses I own, so I have not had to use any of the above remedies. However, the use of Skin So Soft seems to be a safe place to start.

Preeclampsia is when a pregnant woman develops high blood pressure and protein in the urine after the 20th week (late 2nd or 3rd trimester) of pregnancy.
Toxemia; Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH)
The exact cause of preeclampsia is unknown. Possible causes include:
Risk factors include:
Often, women who have preeclampsia do not feel sick.
Symptoms of preeclampsia can include:
Note: Some swelling of the feet and ankles is considered normal during pregnancy.
Symptoms of severe preeclampsia include:
The doctor will perform a physical exam. This may show:
Blood and urine tests will be done. This may show:
Tests will also be done to:
The results of a pregnancy ultrasound, non-stress test, and other tests will help your doctor decide whether your baby needs to be delivered immediately.
Women who had low blood pressure at the start of their pregnancy, followed by a significant rise in blood pressure need to be watched closely for other signs of preeclampsia.
The only way to cure preeclampsia is to deliver the baby.
If your baby is developed enough (usually 37 weeks or later), your doctor may want your baby to be delivered so the preeclampsia does not get worse. You may receive medicines to help trigger labor, or you may need a c-section.
If your baby is not fully developed and you have mild preeclampsia, the disease can often be managed at home until your baby has a good chance of surviving after delivery. The doctor will probably recommend:
Sometimes, a pregnant woman with preeclampsia is admitted to the hospital so the health care team can more closely watch the baby and mother.
Treatment in the hospital may include:
You and your doctor will continue to discuss the safest time to deliver your baby, considering:
The baby must be delivered if there are signs of severe preeclampia, including:
Sign and symptoms of preeclampsia usually go away within 6 weeks after delivery. However, the high blood pressure sometimes get worse the first few days after delivery.
If you have had preeclampsia, you are more likely to develop it again in another pregnancy. However, it is not usually as severe as the first time.
If you have high blood pressure during more than one pregnancy, you are more likely to have high blood pressure when you get older.
Rare but severe complications for the mother can include:
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of preeclampsia during your pregnancy.
There is no known way to prevent preeclampsia. It is important for all pregnant women to start prenatal care early and continue it through the pregnancy.

Master P, who contributed narration to the new Solange songs "The Glory is in You" and "The Chosen One" has spoken about his involvement in the making of A Seat at the Table.
Related: Go Behind the Scenes of Solange's 'A Seat at the Table' Jam Sessions
Speaking about his role on tracks like "The Glory is in You" and "The Chosen Ones," he explained that the audio came from a conversation he had with the artist in the studio. "There wasn't a lot of people in the studio, it was an intimate setting with the engineer and we just talked about what's going on, looking at issues and looking at what's going on in the world and also our culture and our differences," he told Complex. "I think the magic came because it's from a man and a woman's perspective in views and values."
In the narrations, Master P draws parallels, connecting his own rise to self-made mogul-status—particularly his insistence on doing it independently—and the overarching themes of empowerment and agency. Both the artist and producer share Louisiana roots.
When asked how Solange described the album, he said, "She told me it's gonna be soulful. There's a lot of things going on [in the country], a lot of injustice, women not believing in their beauty and who they are. She told me that she was doing her, she was sticking by what she believes in. She wasn't trying to make a record for everybody, she was trying to make a record for her fans and also make music that the world could relate to and for people to understand that we are kings and queens."
The producer talked about what he likes about music and his favorite song today, "My favorite song right now? I'm spinning a lot of the Drake, I'm spinning a lot of the new Gucci Mane, Chance The Rapper… It's so many great projects out right now. I'm a fan of the new generation of music because I feel like everybody got their verse and their time. Maybe people didn't understand us in our time and we was able to make history and sell 75 million records but this generation, man, I feel like they're creative, they're finding ways to make money off of social media, so I'm a fan of a lot of what I'm hearing. You turn the radio on and there's so many good songs. I don't wanna just name one record that I'm a fan of… There's a lot of great songs, especially I can't forget Kendrick Lamar, man. I'm a big fan of Kendrick Lamar. And also Lil Wayne too. Lil Wayne is about to get a second life at music. All you gotta do is keep working hard."

HOUSTON - A firefighter discovered white powder in a plastic bag in a Houston Fire Department locker room.
A source within the department said it was found in Fire Station 17 on Navigation Boulevard in southeast Houston on Thursday night.
The source said instead of immediately reporting the discovery, the city employee opened the bag, tasted the substance, and his tongue started to go numb. At that point, the source said the firefighter was scared and destroyed the material without reporting it.
But later, realizing he could test positive for drug use, the firefighter reported the discovery and told a supervisor what happened. According to reports, the department then made the decision to have everyone on duty Thursday night at Station 17 tested for illegal drug use; this action required bringing in manpower from other stations.
"We are currently conducting an administrative investigation concurrent with a Houston Police Department investigation," the fire department said in a statement. "It is against our policy to comment on the details of an ongoing investigation, and it would be inappropriate for us to comment on another agency's ongoing investigation, except to tell you that the HFD is assisting and will continue to provide whatever resources are necessary in this investigation. Any further questions should be deferred to HPD."
A separate source within the fire department said the substance is cocaine.

Company starts local holiday season with annual ballet, now in 15th year
Lisa Racina admits that Denton City Contemporary Ballet is starting the holidays off a little early.
The company's annual holiday fantasia in dance, A Gift for Emma, officially kicks off the season this weekend.
"It's the only time we can get the space," Racina said.
The space is the performing arts center at Krum High School, an auditorium that's inspired a growing fondness among Denton performing arts companies.
Even though the company tells its story before Thanksgiving, Racina said her dancers are ready.
With this year being the 15th performance of the annual dance, Racina's students at Denton Dance Conservatory have grown up with the show.
"This year, all of my soloists knew the choreography," Racina said. "Every single soloist knew it. First of all, a lot of them have been watching the video since they were little. And the company could finally afford some assistants to teach the choreography to the new dancers."
Emma is a simple story, really. A young street urchin, Emma, sneaks into a dance studio near Christmastime to get warm. The lessons end, the dance teachers leave and lock up. Emma — like Clara before her in The Nutcracker — curls up under the Christmas tree and falls asleep in the studio. She goes on a journey in her dream and receives a gift. During her dream, she meets "swinging elves," toys that come to life and Poseidon and the Arctic Wind. She meets creatures on land (dancing flowers and spiders) and under the sea (jellyfish and seahorses).
Racina casts children from her studio and other studios in town, but the principal and solo roles are performed by members of the contemporary ballet and guest artists.
"We've added some parts this year, like spiders who do an elaborate dance with a web," Racina said. "And this year, we also created seaweed for the ocean scenes."
Emma has long shown Racina's gift for integrating the things that catch her attention outside of the studio into the dance. Under the sea, scallops zip onto the stage on skateboards, and in a dark corner, dancers sling and shoot on black bands to weave spider webs. Umbrellas festooned with lights and scarf-like tendrils become jellyfish. Emma has also engaged the dancers' imaginations. With props like these, the dancers have convincingly embodied creatures who float and climb.
After 14 years, the company has had to refresh some of its standards, too. A crafty company board member is building a new Christmas tree that expands to 16 feet tall.
Like most North Texas dance companies, Denton City Contemporary Ballet includes professional guests in the piece.
Hip-hop dancer Chris Koehl returns to dazzle as the robot doll. Koehl is a former faculty member from Denton Dance Conservatory and was a contestant on season eight of TV's So You Think You Can Dance.
"Last year, he got mobbed by all these girls during intermission," Racina said.
Koehl signed autographs for the audience during intermission and the fans were enthusiastic. Koehl will sign autographs again this year. He's appeared on the popular television series Glee and also appeared in Jermaine Jackson's music video for "Blame It on the Boogie."
It'd be sacrilege to stage a holiday ballet without a pas de deux, and Racina would hardly betray her years of devotion to classical ballet and skip it. Kiev Ballet School alumna Iuliia Ilina dances the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy with her cavalier, a role danced by Dallas Blagg, a member of the Tulsa Ballet. The pair dances the pas de deux in the traditional Russian style.
Brandon McGee returns to the ballet, this year performing the role of Poseidon.
LUCINDA BREEDING can be reached at 940-566-6877.

When: 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday

Never used, unwrapped or anything like that.
Loads of good reviews - the only problem people seem to have with it is the normal £120 price, but you don't have to worry about that 'cos I'm selling it for £85 including postage, which makes it far more palatable!
It comes with all the usual array of pockets, the latest version of their own 3ltr bladder (again, unused, still with the wrapping on the bite valve etc) and even the crazy computer style gizmo that tells you how much you've drunk, how much longer your drink will last (no, really) and if you're drinking enough!

Gloria Engel, MD
The Long and Winding Road
The first inkling Dr. Gloria Engel can recall of wanting to become a doctor was watching the Emmy® award-winning television show Medic when she was just a child growing up in the San Fernando Valley."I liked the subject matter and that people kept getting helped," reflects Dr. Engel."It was an amazing show."
Her road to becoming a doctor in real life would be somewhat of a winding one, however, as she encountered a number of detours and hurdles along the way.
Young and determined to change the world,Dr. Engel started college majoring in pre-med. Soon after, she became involved in Robert Kennedy's political campaign."I just happened to be in the ballroom at his victory party when he was assassinated," shares Dr. Engel."After I recovered from the shock of that, I decided that rather than save the world through medicine, I was going to save the world through politics.
Dr. Engel changed her major to public affairs and began attending The George Washington University.However, after two years in Washington,DC, she became very cynical about politics and had grown homesick for California. She returned to California, landed a job at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) as a lab manager and went to school to finish her pre-med requirements.At 26 she applied to medical school…she was turned down repeatedly."I was told I was too old and female by at least six or seven schools," says Dr. Engel.
Frustrated,Dr. Engel worked at Caltech for five years before landing a new job with Beckman Instruments, Inc."I worked as a regional technical specialist," explains Dr. Engel."I repaired research equipment and was the first woman to ever be hired there to do service work in the field."Dr. Engel stayed at Beckman for 10 years before becoming sick and was hospitalized."That time gave me the chance to reflect back on my life and what I had accomplished," recalls Dr. Engel."What I realized was I still wanted to be a doctor.""I am impressed by the staff and physicians at Eisenhower and its vision for the future of health care in the Coachella Valley. "—Dr. Engel
Dr. Engel recovered and began studying for the medical college admission test. She reapplied to medical school and was accepted at 37 years of age. She attended Loma Linda University, completed her residency there in 1994 and also completed a fellowship in congestive heart failure and caring for adult heart transplant patients.

Former GM: I don't think Rays are interested in dealing ace David Price
ESPN analyst and former MLB GM Jim Bowden joined KESN-FM last week to discuss the Rangers' off-season plans. Here are some highlights:
On if Elvis Andrus could headline a David Price trade to Tampa:
I can't answer for [Tampa Bay GM] Andrew Friedman except to say that every decision he makes, he has to be prepared for the reality of not being able to keep players. If you look at most of the moves that they've made, they're going to put their money in the starting rotation and [3B Evan] Longoria, and they're going to mix and match after that. So it doesn't make a lot of sense. Certainly Profar makes a lot more sense for Tampa Bay than Andrus does.
On what it would cost to get David Price:
I don't think you could get David Price. I really don't, and I'm basing this on my conversations with [Rays manager] Joe Maddon and Andrew Friedman. I really believe that both of them really want [James] Shields and Price at the top of that rotation. I think the one guy they might trade of that group in Jeremy Hellickson and maybe even Matt Moore. Look, they know they need another bat, and they know they can't get it in free agency, and that's why they've had the conversations they've had with Kansas City, because they would love to get Wil Myers from Kansas City and put him in right field and just leave him there and get a middle-of-the-order bat that they can put with Longoria. Hellickson's the guy they would prefer to give up, but I don't think they'd give up Price.

Follow-up 1974 Survey of a Representative Sample of Men Employed in Civilian Occupations in the United States in 1964, and Initial Survey of Their Wives (ICPSR 22412)
Principal Investigator(s): Schooler, Carmi, National Institute of Mental Health and University of Maryland; Kohn, Melvin L., Johns Hopkins University
This data collection investigates the relationship between men and women's work and personality, and provides information regarding work, parenting practices, cognitive functioning, and orientation toward self and others. Work-related variables describe the place and conditions of employment, including the degree of supervision, placement within the workplace hierarchy, and the complexity of work with people, data, and things. Respondents also were questioned regarding job satisfaction, expectations for the future, job security, and union membership and activities. Additionally, respondents provided a complete work history for all jobs held for six months or more. Respondents who were parents at the time of the interview were queried regarding parenting practices and parental values, including methods of child discipline and reinforcement employed, and the level of educational achievement and future occupation preferred for their children. In addition, respondents were asked to select the most and least desirable qualities for their children from a prepared list of attributes. Respondents also were questioned regarding social orientation and self-concept. To measure social orientation, respondents were asked to state the extent to which they agreed or disagreed with statements indicating authoritarian or nonauthoritarian tendencies, different criteria of morality and amorality, trustfulness and distrustfulness, and statements indicating receptivity or resistance to change. Self-concept was examined by questions concerning self-confidence, self-deprecation, anxiety, fatalism/mastery, and the degree to which respondents believe their ideas conform to those of others. Respondents also were asked to select the values most and least desired for themselves and their children. Background information collected for respondents and their families includes household composition, metropolitan/nonmetropolitan area of residence, marital status and duration of marriage, education, ethnicity, religion, country of birth and year of immigration, wife's age and employment status, grandparents' occupations, and parents' country of birth, occupation, education, and age when the respondent was born. Also recorded were the number of brothers and sisters with whom the respondent grew up, the occupation of each sibling, whether the respondent lived with his parents and what his parents' occupations were when he was 16, the age and education level of each child living in the respondent's household, and the respondent's social class self-placement.

If Ravens lose....Flacco has NOTHING to do with it.
He did well above what was expected from him.
Any Tebow jerseys in the crowd?
Jets could have had Boldin at one time as I recall.
Antoin Bolden is stepping it up. This could go to OT.
Boldin -- wouldn't you love to have a guy like him? The guy is money.
Flacco is impressive, would take him in a big game over Ryan any day even though his regular season stats aren't close, makes big time throws
Denver's D is a case of the rankings lying. The rankings say they are a top 5 D. But I don't buy it. Peyton went on a lot of long drives and put that D in great situations. You compare this D to say, Seattle's, and there is no comparison.
I'm still pulling for the broncos, but I think the ravens take this one.
About time for another deep shot to Smith.
Broncos O does something good, Broncos D gives it away. Story of this game.
4th & 5 -- time for Boldin.

American Samoa Gov't; Sala v.
MICHAEL R. SALA, Petitioner,
OF PUBLIC SAFETY, HUMAN RESOURCES, and
LEGAL AFFAIRS, Respondents.
High Court of American Samoa
Appellate Division
AP No. 03‑92
March 12, 1992
[1] An interlocutory appeal of an agency action or ruling is available only if review of the final agency decision would not provide an adequate remedy. A.S.C.A. ' 4.1040(c).
Before: RICHMOND, Associate Justice, GOODWIN*, Acting Associate Justice, MUNSON**, Acting Associate Justice, MAILO A., Associate Judge, and BETHAM, Associate Judge
Counsel: For Petitioner, John L. Ward II
For Respondents, Jennifer L. Joneson, Assistant Attorney General
Per curiam:
This petition is an interlocutory appeal in the midst of a continuing administrative process. On February 25, 1992, the Director of Human Resources wrote to petitioner Michael Sala, telling him that he is to be terminated from his job as Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, effective March 28, 1992, and that he has been suspended until that date. Through his attorney, Sala then requested a hearing before the Personnel Advisory Board, which was granted on March 4, 1992, and is scheduled to be heard on March 16, 1992.
Sala raises numerous objections to the procedures leading up to his termination. These need not be addressed by the Court at this time, however, because of our determination that we do not have jurisdiction over this appeal.
[1] An interlocutory appeal of an agency action or ruling is available only under A.S.C.A. ' 4.1040(c), which permits such review "only if review of the final agency decision would not provide an adequate remedy."
Judicial review of the final decision of the Personnel Advisory Board will provide Sala with the "adequate remedy" required by A.S.C.A. ' 4.1040(c). Thus, this appeal is unripe, and the Court has no jurisdiction to decide the merits of the case at this time. The petition is therefore
* Honorable Alfred T. Goodwin, Senior Circuit Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, serving by designation of the Secretary of the Interior.
** Honorable Alex R. Munson, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands, serving by designation of the Secretary of the Interior.

Singer who doesn't run.
So we'll see what happens when I flip on the lights and see who's home ... are you all going to jump out and yell "Surprise"?
Anyway, I'm a RWOL refugee, you may have seen a lot of us stampeding around. I'm not exactly a new runner, I've been running for I don't know, six years now? Seven? A while, anyway. But I got hit with a fierce case of runner's knee leading up to Peachtree Road Race this past July, and the race itself was mind-boggling painful. And yes, I was stupid enough to finish it anyway, because I wanted the t-shirt. So then I quit running for a while and just sort of hoped the rest would fix things. It didn't, and I finally sucked it up and went to a doctor near the end of October, which is where I got my official diagnosis, a bottle of prescription-strength anti-inflammatories, a directive to ice daily, and advice to swim now and come back slowly when I was ready to come back.
I swallowed my last pill this morning (though I can get a refill if needed), and I'm about ready to re-start. I figure I will come back with C25k, since I haven't run more than about 0.75 miles since early July, I'm probably nearly at square 1. My date to re-start is Monday Dec 3rd, along with DH (who kindly quit running when I did ) and our dog, Dusty. I'm a little nervous, because my knee is still twingy, and I'm going to be really annoyed if I'm in pain ... so I guess we'll see!
When it's all said and done, no one remembers how far we have run. The only thing that matters is how we have loved.
I feel like shouting, just so I can hear the echo.
WEEK ONE, DAY ONE, COMING ON MONDAY!! MONDAY Monday monday ...
Runner's legs I have not
Hi, HopesMom!
I am totally new to running as of this week and I've posted on two other groups, but was poking around and saw this one, which kinda made me go "D'oh!" since the C25k is what I started doing as of this past Monday. I haven't ran since school and am really, really REALLY outta shape, but I have always loved the sport. Tomorrow will be my third and final run of the week --- almost silly to call it a "run" since I'm probably trotting along slower than most people walk, and only for two minutes at a time, but hey! I get bonus points for still being alive, right?
I'm curious what exactly "runner's knee" is... just a severe strain? Pulled tendon? When you went to the doc, did you get it x-rayed? MRI'd?
Like the echo, btw... I know what ya mean :-\
Bouncy, I LOVE your forum name! Don't worry about being slow, absolutely the important thing right now is just getting out there and putting one foot in front of the other.
As for runner's knee, basically it arises from an imbalance between your hamstring strength and your quad strength. If your quad muscles aren't strong enough, then it's easy for your patella to get pulled slightly off track, and that sets up inflammation. Runner's knee is sort of a diagnosis of omission -- there are tests your doc can do to see if it's something like an MCL or ACL issue. They put your leg in certain positions and push or pull on it and see if you scream. I had no pain at all with those. I did have x-rays done, and my doc said there were "arthritic changes" along my kneecap, but as I'm 40 he wasn't surprised, and he didn't think they were the cause of my problem. So the plan was to take some time off, do things to calm down the inflammation, do things to strengthen the quads, and then restart running slowly. I've been diligent on taking my meds and icing my knee, and I've been swimming in the meantime, but I've been a bit of a slacker on the exercises -- I need to get back on that horse as I also get back with running.
So you'll be a week ahead of me, at least for now -- I'll probably repeat a week around Christmas, since the holidays and traveling will mess with my schedule.
It was either Bouncy Butt or Captain Obvious... I'm still torn about my choice. =)
Good info on the knee - no doubt I will have my share of owies and running-induced conditions. For me it really is a double-edged sword scenario: I am unemployed - so no insurance - so I'd better stay/get healthy - so I don't need to go to doctor for things I can prevent.......BUT (and this is a big but!!!) taking up any activity brings the risk of injury - which may or may not require a doctor's care - which may or may not ----- well, you get the idea. My common sense tells me it's better to take the risk and be a moving target rather than be a sitting duck for disease.
Today will be my third and final run of the week and as I type this, I can hear it's raining pretty good out there. It makes me think of investing in a neoprene hoodie like my buddy in Alaska has; he works construction and loves his. He layers to adjust for outside temps and says it keeps him super dry. I certainly can't use "it's raining" as an excuse to not run. I live in Western Washington, for cryin out loud!
Remember to do your exercises today! I'm looking forward to hearing how your first run goes!
Pretty sad that I'm the only one that didn't go skittering when you flicked the lights on... I guess they're hiding under the couch, eh?
Oy, I lived for six years in Athens, GA, and the mental image that came with "skittering" was just awful!! I am terrified of anything with more than 4 legs.
Yeah, I think if you live in Western WA, you will have to learn to run in the rain. I've run in drizzle, not bad with a baseball cap and a jacket. I'm too big a wuss to run in a downpour, though.
And on the small world front, I also lived for 2 years in Eastern WA, in the Tri-cities. I married myself a Prosser boy, and his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew live in Auburn. We've spent many happy vacations around Seattle.
As for injury, exercise in general tends to have a pretty high injury rate, but at least running is way cheaper than a gym membership or something like that. And exercise does so many good things for your health, it's definitely better than sitting on the couch! This is only the second time I've had to see a doc for a running injury in my six years, though, so mostly if you just listen to your body, you'll be ok. My first injury was a stress fracture in my foot brought on by suddenly tripling my mileage. Not smart. Then this knee issue probably would've been a non-issue if I'd taken time off when it started bothering me, but I pressed through it and then tried to run a race on it. So not being an idiot will certainly help keep you uninjured!
Holy Schnikees! We were practically neighbors (well, your peeps, anyways)! Auburn is about 20 minutes from where I own a house.
You have a great point about running being free (less the cost of shoes and other miscellany) vs. a gym membership. I hate the gym. Never been comfy in that environment. The last one I went to had the cardio machines upstairs -- to get there, you had to walk through/past all of the bodybuilders. It was horrid. More than one snide remark was uttered as I walked by. I daydreamed about knocking teeth down throats.
Two injuries in six years? That's pretty dang good! I hope I am successful at listening and hearing what my body is griping about and be able to discern what is a normal discomfort and what is an injury in the works. I have severe chronic pain I've lived with for so dang long it's hard to tell anymore - I put it all on ignore.
Today felt great during and after my "run"; I invited a friend over and she went with me and the time just flew by. We got totally soaked but neither of us minded. I am super proud that I didn't give up at all and actually enjoyed the three days of training. When I told my kid (she's 25) earlier this week what I was doing, I could've knocked her over with a feather. She was extremely surprised (and that takes some doing) and her initial remark was "well, you want to be able to chase the grandkid, right?" (she's expecting, due in March, first kid)
Tomorrow will be my only day of no walking or running at all, then Sunday I'll plan on walking farther than I had been all week, maybe another 1/2 mile, then Monday will be Week 2!
I snooped around for local races I could run in the spring and haven't settled on one yet, but I think I will register and commit to one.
Congrats on your incoming grandkid!! DH and I don't have kids and don't plan to, but I know my folks thoroughly enjoy my sisters two boys. And woo-hoo for you getting your run on!! DH and I did our W1D1 yesterday, and it was fairly successful. My knee twinged at me just a little in the last couple of run segments, but since I knew it wasn't a major problem, I ignored it. I did ice right after my run, which I think helped, so that's all good. W1D2 happens tonight, and then we're off until Friday. I have choir practice tomorrow night and then chorus rehearsal on Thursday -- I sing with my church, and I'm also a Sweet Adeline.
I forgot that running in December means looking at Christmas lights -- bonus!!
W1D2 is done! I had to pull out the headlamp and reflective vests last night, as we didn't get out until 7, which is fairly normal for running after work. Now I'm off running until Friday, as I have choir practice tonight and chorus rehearsal tomorrow. It's been really nice having warm weather and Christmas lights to run with, though I know I can't expect either of those trends to continue indefinitely.
Whoooot! Way to go! How are you feeling now that you have D2 under your belt on successive days? You're lucky to have lights to look at on your runs - "bonus" is a good word! Since I'm a morning runner (still chuckling at that term), my bonus is spotting deer. Last Friday, three beautiful does went scampering across the road and into someone's yard. The shot I got was obscured by bushes and trees; next time I'll be quicker on the camera.
Monday was my W2D1, and no walk yesterday but I did order some Hoka One One's from Zappos and kicked about in them yesterday, and since I've had so many problems with my feet I tend to remain skeptical. Today was my W2D2. I am still on the fence about the new shoes, but they are pretty bitchin in the looks department. Plus they're squishy - something that tends to go over well with me. I am hoping they'll treat me better than the Asics I've been wearing. One weird little quirk is that somehow I get small bits of gravel in my shoes and it's a little more than annoying. Totally reminds me of the scene in Ever After when she asks her stepmother "Was there ever a time when you loved me?" and the stepmother replies "How can one love a pebble in one's shoe?" Since I tend to lace my shoes up fairly snugly, I can't imagine how it's getting in, but even after I get the rocks out of my shoes I still can't get Drew Barrymore and Angelica Houston out of my head...
So I survived today! I had a few more aches and pains (not sure if it's the shoes or just general protesting by a very out of shape body) but the weather was stupendously fantastic and I am happy to have been out in it. Whether I'm waddling or trotting, it matters not. At least I'm able to continue my training. Honestly, I've gotten farther than I ever thought I would -- hell, I've just completed my 5th attempt at running!
I was recently talking with someone that mentioned joining the Sweet Adelines; how long have you been one? Now that you have two runs in, back to back, how's your knee holding up?
On the road again...
Thought I'd poke in here and say hey!
Good job, HopesMom, on knocking out the first couple of runs.
Bouncy - have we got you added to the graphs?
I have a love/hate relationship with running. I do it, but sometimes I love to hate it.
Bouncy, I have no idea how the rocks are getting in your shoes! I run in VFF's, so while I sometimes get rocks stuck between my toes, they don't get in my shoes. I've done a couple of runs in huaraches, though, and I do get rocks in those on occasion. Let me know how you end up liking the Hokas, they're pretty much the antithesis of any shoe I'd wear! I've heard from some folks who like them, but I've also heard from some folks who had problems with them --achilles aches and so on. Your aches may be more due to just being new at this.
My knee has been a little achy, but no sharp pains or major tightness like there was before, so I'm counting it all good. Woo-hoo!
As for Sweet Adelines, it will have been 9 years come New Year's. Wow, I can't believe it's been that long! I love singing with them, it's such a blast when it's right! I actually had the chance once to rehearse with Pacific Sound, out your way. At the time they were directed by Carole Kirkpatrick and they were often winners of their region and represented well at International. It was my first time singing with a really large, really good chorus, and it was AWESOME!!
yapper, howdy!! Do you know if anyone else is still actively doing c25k, or is it just me and bouncy?
Thought I'd poke in here and say hey!
Good job, HopesMom, on knocking out the first couple of runs.
Bouncy - have we got you added to the graphs?
Hey, Yapper -
I think I added myself earlier today and it said it might not show up for 5 or 10 minutes, so I went on my merry way and now tonight I'm poking around in the forum topics and I can't seem to find where the silly graphs actually reside.... 0.o
If you could just point and whistle, that'd be great! Thanks!
Ok, I actually own two pairs of VFF - one pair of which fit better than the other. One pair cinches behind the heel with a drawstring and the other has a strap across the top like a Mary Jane. I love them both, but at the weight I am right now, I am not sure my feet would survive. I think I will try them out again in a few weeks. You're right - the squishy soles do tend to go against everything Vibram is preaching about the barefoot running philosophy and I hope to be able to have success with them when I've dropped some weight (they're fairly tight and one pair tends to hurt my little toe).
I grew up running around barefoot all over the place and rarely had shoes on in the summer and I remember loving it. The only thing I didn't like was stepping on a slug. Ew.
Great news on the knee holding up! Mine don't like me much today but I'm pretty sure it's just regular adjustments to the new routine. I am liking the energy boost I'm getting - something I've not experienced much in the past. My claim to fame has been yawning while doing aerobic exercises and then taking a three-hour nap afterwards. Not happening this time around and not sure why, but I'll take it!
I know there's some lurkers out there, so please intro yourselves and join in!
Hey, Yapper -
I think I added myself earlier today and it said it might not show up for 5 or 10 minutes, so I went on my merry way and now tonight I'm poking around in the forum topics and I can't seem to find where the silly graphs actually reside.... 0.o

Radio pranksters break down on TV
A Sydney radio duo have expressed concern for the welfare of the grieving family of a British nurse, who died in the aftermath of their prank call.
Sydney-based 2Day FM's Mel Greig and Michael Christian will appear on Nine Network's A Current Affair at 6.30pm (AEDT) on Monday, with Tracy Grimshaw.
Seven Network will air an interview with the pair at the same time on Today Tonight, with Clare Brady.
In segments of both interviews broadcast on Sky News, Greig told of how she wanted to reach out to the family of deceased nurse Jacintha Saldanha and "give them a big hug and say sorry."
"I hope they're okay," she said, before breaking down in tears.
Christian said he hoped the family gets the love and support they needed.
Greig described how receiving a phone call early on Saturday morning informing her of the nurse's death was the worst news she had in her life.
"I haven't stopped thinking about," she said.
"My first question was, was she a mother?"
Greig and Christian haven't been seen in public since the nurse, who answered the pair's hoax call, passed away.
The pair have been receiving intensive counselling after a barrage of criticism, particularly on social media sites, was directed at them.

Israeli teams finished out of the running in the World Disabled Sailing Championships in Halifax, missing qualifying for the Paralympics in Rio in 2016, but they still have one more chance to qualify next year.
Seven Sonar boats qualified in the Halifax event, which concluded on Aug. 24, but Israeli Sonar coach, Israel Altman, says the chances are good in 2015, "if the money is available to train, compete in pre-regattas and travel to Melbourne."
The Sonar team of Dror Cohen, Arnon Efrati and Shimon Ben-Yakov placed 10th of 18 boats, with a best finish of fifth in their first race.
France finished first, followed by Canada and Australia. Great Britain, Greece, Germany and Norway also qualified.
Five SKUD 18 teams made the cut for Rio, but Israel missed out, finishing last in a field of 14. The best finish for Moshe and Hagar Zahavi was ninth in their first race of the weeklong event.
Australia topped the field, followed by qualifiers Great Britain, Italy, Canada and the United States.
Altman said the Sonar team made tactical mistakes in races that ran in light winds through most of the week.
"We also suffered from lack of training opportunities, mostly because of events at home.
"There was a bad feeling being away from home," he said Sunday evening. "We disappointed our families and supporters [because] we wanted so badly to bring some good spirit, instead of the Gaza rocket atmosphere."
He added, "We know what it takes to earn a medal. But without results, we get no funding [at home], and without funding, we'll not be training."
The teams that finished ahead of Israel train year-round. Altman said most of them participated in several regattas in the last year, while Israel didn't even train.
"Our chances are high to qualify through Melbourne if we have the funds to train properly," he stressed.
Reaction from the SKUD 18 team was unavailable at press time,

Know How to Use A Stethoscope Before You Need It
- Apr 12, 2012
- Topics:
The stethoscope is a valuable part of any equine first-aid kit. Here, Juliet Getty, PhD, of Getty Equine Nutrition, explains why this piece of equipment is important and why horse owners should know how to use it before an emergency occurs.
Your emergency kit likely includes a stethoscope--a highly valuable piece of equipment during any urgent health situation. Knowing your horse's normal heart rate and gut sounds beforehand will allow you to better assess the seriousness of the situation--so use your stethoscope now.
A resting pulse is typically between 32 and 40 beats per minute (ponies' tend to have slightly higher pulse rates). Place the stethoscope in front of the girth area, just behind the elbow. Using the sweep second hand on your watch or a stop watch (or a similar feature on a cell phone), count the number of beats for 30 seconds and double it to get beats per minute. Measure at various times of day, such as before and after eating or at any change in circumstances or activity level; this will give you a clear idea of how your horse generally responds to his environment. Marked deviation from normal (without obvious explanation such as exercise) can indicate infection, pain, or illness.
Your stethoscope is also useful for listening to gut sounds. It is normal and healthy for sounds to come from the digestive tract due to the movement of feed, gas, and fluid. Intestines are made of muscles; processing forage continuously provides the necessary exercise to keep these muscles in good condition. Normally, the sounds will be low in pitch with some growling. Some colic cases occur when there is a change within the intestines (often due to obstruction, gas, or torsion) and sounds change or stop altogether. If you don't hear any noise, or if the sounds have become higher pitched, significantly slowed, or sound hollow, colic is likely and you should contact your veterinarian immediately.
Practice listening to four specific areas of the gut: along the upper barrel and the lower flank area on both sides. Generally speaking, sounds from the upper left come from the small colon and tend to be high pitched and of short duration. The lower left has sounds from the large colon. On the upper right, the sounds come from the large colon and cecum whereas the lower right has the sounds from the large colon. While the point of origin for gut sounds is not completely predictable, the important thing is to identify a variation from your horse's normal sounds.
It's important to understand that deviations from normal in pulse or gut sounds have many possible explanations, so unless you have extensive experience never put yourself in the position of diagnosing colic or other disorders. But you can be a valuable resource to your veterinarian if you know what is normal for your horse and can identify these deviations from normal before illness happens.
