CHICAGO -- On Friday, Jake Arrieta beat his former team, the Orioles. On Sunday, it was Tsuyoshi Wada's turn.
Wada set a career high in the U.S. with eight strikeouts and gave up only a home run by Steve Pearce over 6 1/3 innings as the Cubs beat the Orioles, 2-1, to sweep the Interleague series.View Full Game Coverage
"That's a first-place team, so this is good for us," Cubs catcher Welington Castillo said of beating the American League East leaders.
Wada, 33, whose career single-game strikeout high in Japan was 15, walked Adam Jones with two outs in the first, then retired the next 16 batters he faced. Pearce ended the lefty's no-hit bid with a leadoff home run in the seventh, hitting Wada's 90th pitch over the left-field bleachers. Wada was then pulled one batter later.
Cubs manager Rick Renteria knew Wada had a no-hitter going, as did Wada, as did the 32,774 at Wrigley Field.
"In my mind, he was going to keep throwing until someone got a hit," Renteria said. "He gave us a great outing."
Wada smiled when asked by a reporter in English about a possible no-hitter. Some things don't need translating.
"I knew a no-hitter was going on, but I tried not to focus on it too much," said Wada, through interpreter Ryo Shinkawa. "The pitch count was getting to me and fatigue was a factor as well."
Wada credited an improved fastball, and also Castillo for calling it when needed. Orioles manager Buck Showalter had liked Wada when they first scouted him.
"[What made him tough was the] same reason we had interest in him when he was healthy -- good fastball command [to] all four quadrants," Showalter said. "Late life, like a lot of pitchers who come out of there have. You kind of throw away the radar gun. He's got a little late hop. Enough changeup. Spun a few balls, but basically fastball-changeup."
In 207 starts in Japan, Wada had never thrown a no-hitter, and he was vying to become the first Japanese pitcher to do so in the U.S. since Hideo Nomo. Nomo accomplished the feat twice, most recently April 4, 2001, for the Red Sox against the Orioles.
The crowd gave Wada a standing ovation when he was lifted. He had a little extra motivation against the Orioles.
"I knew a lot of the players on their team, and I feel I let people down by not being able to be a factor on the team," Wada said. "I tried to be the player who they thought they acquired. I tried to prove that the player they felt they got was what I did today."
Baltimore starter Miguel Gonzalez retired the first eight batters he faced before Wada's infield single with two outs in the third. It was Wada's first Major League hit, and it came against the first Major League team he signed with. The lefty, who pitched nine seasons for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks in Japan, spent two seasons in the Orioles' system but never made it to the big leagues. He injured his left elbow in 2012 Spring Training and needed Tommy John surgery. Wada signed a Minor League deal with the Cubs last December.
Wada got some run support in the fifth. With one out, Arismendy Alcantara smacked his fourth homer of the season, lining a 2-1 pitch into the basket rimming the right-field bleachers. It was only the second hit off Gonzalez. Chris Coghlan doubled to open the sixth and scored one out later on Anthony Rizzo's opposite-field double to go ahead, 2-0.
With the win, the Cubs improved to 9-8 in Interleague Play this season and posted their second sweep. Chicago also took all three games against the Red Sox in Fenway Park, June 30-July 2.
"Pitching always sets the tone," Renteria said. "All in all, it was a really clean series."

NHL puts lockout in play
CBA expired at midnight; labor impasse centers on revenue sharing
In the middle of the night, when Saturday turned into Sunday, the NHL went dark.
The NHL locked out its players — as it had in 2004-05 — upon the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement at midnight. No formal negotiations between the NHL and NHLPA took place on Saturday.
The disagreement centers on the players' share of league revenue.
The NHL reported $3.3 billion in gross revenue in 2011-12. In the final year of the expired CBA, the players received 57 percent of hockey-related revenue. In its latest proposal, the NHL offered a six-year term, with player share designated at 49 percent in the first season. Players would not be subject to salary rollbacks to existing contracts, but they would cede money via escrow.
The players are unwilling to accept a decrease. They have proposed limiting salary growth and partnering with the large-market teams in revenue sharing. The NHL has not accepted revenue sharing as a principle for the next CBA.
With the sides deadlocked over the primary economic sticking point, they have not found common ground over secondary negotiating points, either. Those issues include arbitration rights, length of entry-level contracts, and service time required to reach free agency.
Training camps were scheduled to open on Friday. The Bruins' first preseason game was scheduled for Sept. 25 against Washington. The NHL should begin canceling preseason games shortly.
Under a lockout, players will not be allowed to use team facilities. Normally, the Bruins would have skated at Ristuccia Arena to prepare for the opening of camp. Instead, they will skate at an undetermined rink.
No Bruins who have been interviewed have secured jobs overseas. They will remain in Boston in anticipation of a prompt agreement. So far, David Krejci (Czech Republic) and Dennis Seidenberg (Germany) are the only players who have expressed interest in specific destinations.
Insurance will be a hurdle for those playing overseas. Players and their agents must negotiate policies with European teams in case of injury. The Bruins, for example, would not be subject to paying a player's salary if he was injured while playing for another club during the lockout. Rates vary, but one agent said a policy could cost $7,000-$12,000 per million of coverage.
While players continue their training, their employers will shift their priorities. The Providence Bruins will begin training camp Sept. 28.
Jordan Caron and Torey Krug are two of the Providence players who could have opened 2012-13 on the varsity roster.
The Bruins' pro scouts will train some of their sights on the AHL.
On the amateur side, the team will continue its normal course of scouting junior and NCAA players in preparation for the 2013 draft.
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said he will travel more than usual during the lockout to monitor prospects and draft-eligible players.
Teams are not permitted to make transactions during a lockout. The Bruins were among the teams executing last-minute moves Saturday by extending Milan Lucic.
The NHL is scheduled to open the regular season Oct. 11. Realistically, teams and players would need at least one week of training camp. That means the sides would have to negotiate an agreement within the next two weeks.
It's possible the league could push back the season-opening date to accommodate an 82-game schedule, but the NHL has been hesitant about extending the Stanley Cup Final into mid-June.
The next pressure point will be when players begin missing game checks in mid-October. They do not receive salaries during the preseason, aside from per diem.
Injured players are the exception. Marc Savard, under contract through 2017, will receive his regular salary during the lockout. Nathan Horton is also considered injured, but will be declared fit to play shortly, according to Chiarelli.

Re: Visual mode annoyance with Visual Assist X
When I use VA's 'Go To Implementation', VA goes to the implementation and selects the symbol. This puts ViEmu into visual mode, which is very annoying. Now the interesting part: if I invoke the Go To Implementation from the menu, ViEmu does not go into visual mode, and 'correctly' stays in the command mode.
I tried playing with "Use Visual Studio selection for Visual Mode" option, but the result is the same. The annoyance only happens when Go to Impl is bound to the keys. Tried changing to ctrl-Up instead of Alt-g, but that didn't matter...
Anyone know a workaround for this? Thanks in advance.

More Than 350 Clarkson University Students & Alumni Volunteer for Day of Service
From New York City to San Francisco, several hundred Clarkson students and alumni came together on April 20 to volunteer.
The first "Clarkson Serves" event attracted 357 participants nationwide, including 227 students who volunteered on campus and in the Village of Potsdam and 91 alumni from 16 chapters, including Washington, D.C., Santa Monica, Calif., Boston, Mass., Burlington, Vt., and several in upstate New York.
In Potsdam, students teamed up with faculty and staff to plant 157 trees, remove trash and prepare flower beds for spring planting both on campus and in Fall Island Lions Park downtown.
Alumni chapters volunteered at food banks and cleaned up beaches and parks in their communities, such as the Santa Monica Pier in California and Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, which Hurricane Sandy damaged last year.
Community service has always been a priority for Clarkson students and alumni, according to Suzann Couts, assistant director of alumni relations. But this year, Clarkson wanted to bring its students and alumni together for a day-long event. All volunteers were encouraged to share their experiences on Twitter and Instagram in order to connect with other students and alumni nationwide who were also giving back.
"I'm very excited with the outcome of our first Clarkson Serves event," Couts said. "It was really a home run. I'm very much looking forward to growing this both nationally and on campus next year."
Billy VanNostrand '14, a civil engineering major, joined with fellow members of Clarkson's club football team to volunteer. Together, they cleaned away brush and repainted a shed near their playing field.
"I just think it's the nature of the school," VanNostrand said. "It's in the students' blood to want to give back because of the opportunities that are provided at Clarkson."
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

A Month Without a Genealogy Day is Like a Day Without Sunshine
It's been months since I did any research on my ancestors. I miss it! But like many other genealogists, I have my blogs, my websites, my mailing lists, my Olive Tree Genealogy newsletter, the family history books I write, articles I'm working on... and a whole slew of other genealogy projects - none of which are specifically about *my* ancestors!
And that doesn't include family life - cooking (which is my second favorite activity after genealogy!), antiquing (next favorite after genealogy), spending time with kids, grandkids, hubby and friends. Wow I'm exhausted just writing this all out!
Oh yeah and I'm not retired so I have to engage in that dreadful 4-letter activity - (W O R K).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. As I always say to hubs, it's not a complaint, it's a statement of fact. I love what I do. But it fills my days.
So today I decided I need to take time for my own ancestor research. With that in mind I've set aside one day a month - marked on my calendar so I can't pass it by in favor of "more important" or "more urgent" things.... That one day is designated GENEALOGY DAY. Now, every day is Genealogy Day for me, but this one is to be spent only on my ancestors.
On Genealogy Day hubs and I will make field trips to various archives, libraries, museums - the places we keep meaning to get to (but never do) to look up our ancestors. Some are near, most are a fair distance.
For example I have been needing to get to Erie Pennsylvania for years now! I need to have a look in the Archives there for my PEER family who lived in Northeast Pennsylvania and just across the border in Ripley New York from about 1817-1835.
I am convinced that in 1830-1831 my Levi Peer filed a will. I won't rest easy until I go there and have a hunt for any information on Levi, his brother Edward or their wives or children. (or hire someone on my behalf - anyone want the job?)
We might forgo a field trip in favor of staying home and organizing a family line, sorting documents for one individual or family group. Then we can construct a plan of attack - what do we have and what do we need? Taking the time to decide on what is needed and finding out if it has survived and is available, then doing some checking to find out where it is held will be invaluable as we plan our field trips.
I'm looking forward to our first Genealogy Day at the end of this month! We haven't decided where we'll go but I suspect to the new Ontario Archives. For that we'll need a really good plan of what we each want to find, as both of us are at the challenging part of our Ontario ancestors research.
I'm finding that it's too easy to let my own genealogy research slip in favor of other projects. And while I love working on all these other things (they're mostly genealogy, just not my own!), I miss the thrill of the hunt, the excitement of the find. Time to recapture that moment of absolute delight when you finally find that little tidbit of information that gives you the maiden name of your great-great-great grandmother... or the will of your 3rd great grandfather.
So watch out Levi Peer, I'm coming to find you!

I hear you on this topic. I have been busy with my blogs, writing my book, starting my business, etc., that my research has fallen to thers wayside for over a month. I did take time two days ago to get into the city and research my ancestors. It was great. I plan to try to get out every two weeks for part of or an entire day just for me.
Great post! It reminds us all to stop, re-evaulate and then move forward again.
- Mary said...
GREAT 'Plan of Action'...now you've got me motivated to be more organized and set time aside. It's nice your hubby is into genealogy also...great to have someone go with you on 'field trips'!
- Greta Koehl said...
Great idea - I think I'm going to have to do something like this. My recent genealogy research trip just brought home to me how much I am missing when other things push my own genealogy research out of the way all the time.
- Geniaus said...
Just last week I decided to make Wednesday my Genaalogy Day each week. Already the wheels have fallen offas I need to W O R K this week on Wednesday. I think your day a month is more manageable. I might follow your lead and try for that.

Pfizer Animal Health Begins Integration With Alpharma
Addition of King Pharmaceuticals' Alpharma business broadens Pfizer Animal Health's best-in-class portfolio
MADISON, N.J., March 2, 2011 - With the acquisition of King Pharmaceuticals by Pfizer, Inc. announced on February 28, Pfizer Animal Health will begin integrating Alpharma, LLC into its existing business, providing customers with a more diversified portfolio of products and services. Pfizer Animal Health is the leader in the discovery, manufacturing and marketing of veterinary vaccines and medicines within the U.S. animal health market, and will become a leading marketer in the U.S. medicated feed additives business. Alpharma was a wholly owned subsidiary of King Pharmaceuticals and became part of Pfizer Animal Health with Pfizer's acquisition of King.
The integration of Alpharma allows Pfizer Animal Health to build on its already broad product portfolio of biologics, medicines and immunodiagnostics with Alpharma's industry-leading array of medicated feed additives and water-soluble therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of diseases.
"Pfizer Animal Health welcomes Alpharma colleagues and the company's respected products and services," said Clint Lewis, President of U.S. Operations for Pfizer Animal Health. "Today marks another important milestone in Pfizer Animal Health's evolution in offering veterinarians, nutritionists and all our customers a more comprehensive portfolio of unique products and services. It also further demonstrates our commitment to becoming a complete solutions provider for our customers."
Broader Solutions for Customers
The U.S. animal health industry has come to rely and depend on the availability, effectiveness and safety of Pfizer Animal Health's products. Already an industry leader, Pfizer now adds Alpharma brands such as BOVATEC® (lasalocid), AUREOMYCIN® (chlortectracycline), DECCOX® (decoquinate) and BMD® (bacitracin methylene disalicylate) to its offerings. These products complement the Pfizer portfolio that includes DRAXXIN® (tulathromycin), EXCEDE® (ceftiofur crystalline free acid), Bovi-Shield ® GOLD, FACTREL® (gonadorelin hydrochloride), the line of SYNOVEX® implants, as well as RESPISURE®, FLUSURE®, and the full line of SUVAXYN® brands.
"The Alpharma integration, coupled with our recent acquisition of Synbiotics Corporation, showcases Pfizer Animal Health's continued desire to find ways to expand our portfolio to best meet customer needs within a changing marketplace," Lewis said. "We want to be viewed by customers and colleagues as the best animal health company with exceptional people, products and services."
Pfizer Inc.: Working together for a healthier world™
At Pfizer, we apply science and our global resources to improve health and well-being at every stage of life. We strive to set the standard for quality, safety and value in the discovery, development and manufacturing of medicines for people and animals. Our diversified global health care portfolio includes human and animal biologic and small molecule medicines and vaccines, as well as nutritional products and many of the world's best-known consumer products. Every day, Pfizer colleagues work across developed and emerging markets to advance wellness, prevention, treatments and cures that challenge the most feared diseases of our time. Consistent with our responsibility as the world's leading biopharmaceutical company, we also collaborate with health care providers, governments and local communities to support and expand access to reliable, affordable health care around the world. For more than 150 years, Pfizer has worked to make a difference for all who rely on us. To learn more about our commitments, please visit us at www.pfizer.com.

This release contains forward-looking information that involves substantial risks and uncertainties about Pfizer's acquisition of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc., including its potential benefits, and the anticipated cost savings and impact on adjusted diluted earnings per share of the transaction. Such risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the potential effects of disruption from the transaction; other business effects, including the effects of industry, economic, political or regulatory conditions outside of Pfizer's and King's control; transaction costs; actual or contingent liabilities; Pfizer's ability to realize the projected synergies from its acquisition of King; and other uncertainties related to the business of King and Pfizer.

The Output Browser is a simple tool that displays the output generated by your programs, and by operations such as macroexpansion, compilation and tracing. You can create one by choosing Tools > Output Browser or clicking in the Podium. Output browser shows the Output Browser.
Figure 19.1 Output browser
The Output Browser has one main area that displays the output from the environment. Output usually consists mostly of compilation, trace and macroexpansions, but can also include output from other tools, such as the Profiler. The main area is actually an editor window, so all the usual editor keyboard commands can be used in it. See The Editor for more details about these operations.
The Output Browser is invaluable when you are developing code, because it can be used to collect any output generated by your code. An example of how to do this is given in Viewing output.
Many other tools in the environment contain an output view, which you can display by clicking the Output tab . Such views are used to collect all the output which has been generated by that tool. For instance, the Listener has an output view that displays all the output from forms evaluated in the Listener, and the editor has an output view that collects any output generated by the editor, such as compilation messages or macroexpansions. Note that the Output Browser is the only tool which displays any output from your own code without any need for further action on your part.
Note: The Output Browser (and the Output tab of some tools) displays only the output from the Common LispWorks environment. By default, processes not associated with the tools write their output to the terminal stream.

John Joseph Scocca, a retired Johns Hopkins biochemistry professor recalled for his keen critical eye, died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease May 10 at Gilchrist Hospice Care in Towson. He was 72 and lived in Aberdeen.
Born in South Philadelphia, he came to Baltimore in 1958 as a Johns Hopkins University undergraduate and went on to spend his entire career at the school. He earned a bachelor's degree in three years and received a doctorate in biochemistry. He then became a professor at what is now the Bloomberg School of Hygiene and Public Health, where he retired four years ago.
Family members said that in his third year of graduate school, he taught laboratory technique to a group of students that included his future wife, Jane Ruble.
They moved to a home on Monterey Road in Ednor Gardens north of the old Memorial Stadium. He, his wife and children were Orioles fans and enjoyed attending games. In 1977, the family moved to Aberdeen.
Colleagues said that as a professor at the School of Public Health, he taught biochemistry to graduate students from outside the biochemistry department. He called his course "baby biochemistry," but friends said he was a thorough and demanding scientist-teacher. He also valued concise speaking and brevity.
"Perhaps John's most significant contributions involved his 30-year tenure as chief organizer of the laboratory rotations for first-year doctoral students," said a Hopkins colleague, Roger McMacken, who lives near Lake Roland. "John operated a dreaded alarm clock that so loudly, rudely and famously halted student rotation talks precisely 10 minutes after the start of any still-continuing research presentation."
Mr. McMacken said this was an "immensely effective training strategy." By the time the students returned for more oral presentations, they "were virtually all completed before the sound of the jarring alarm clock."
He recalled his favorite "Scocca moment," which involved the annual opening day meeting of the department faculty with an incoming class of doctoral students.
"John, because of his wit, keen sense of humor, candor, and unparalleled scientific integrity, routinely had the honor of describing the department's academic program for first-year students," said Mr. McMacken. "What followed was an impassioned exhortation about the do's and don'ts of laboratory research and academic life. No one, including John, knew precisely what he was going to say. But you could certainly count on 45 minutes of a hilarious, off-the-cuff soliloquy that perpetually was a highlight of academic life for us."
Family members said that his personal research work involved the study of the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae and its interactions.
Mr. Scocca served two terms as president of the Hopkins faculty senate.
"He wasn't shy about taking someone apart verbally, even chairs or deans, if he or she wasn't making sense," Mr. McMacken said. "But John was a beloved mentor of doctoral students and was the thesis adviser for 14 doctoral students."
Sharon Krag, a retired Hopkins colleague and dean, recalled him as an "extremely loyal and good friend. His approach to living life and doing science was spectacular."
She said she sought him for his critical eye. "He was insightful and straightforward, never malicious."
Mr. Scocca was a Boy Scout leader in Aberdeen. He received Scouting's distinguished service award, the Silver Beaver. In the 1970s, he was a Mount Calvary Episcopal Church vestry member.
Family members said he was an accomplished cook who had an inventory of recipes from South Philadelphia. He kept detailed notes, similar to a lab book, about his cooking. They said that after an academic visit to Pakistan, where his group dined with the dictator Gen. Muhammad Zia-ul-haq, he began creating Indian and Pakistani dishes. He also became a fan of the Bombay Grill.
He was in charge of Thanksgiving meals and baked breads.
A dog fancier, he bred and showed Rottweilers. Mr. Scocca read widely and was a fan of H.L. Mencken.
Services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, 2929 Level Road in Churchville.
In addition to his wife of nearly 46 years, survivors include two sons, David Scocca of Durham, N.C., and Tom Scocca of New York City; a sister, Patricia Danz of Philadelphia; and two grandsons.

Women's Morning Bible Study
Every Thursday until April 28, 2016
9:00am – 11:00am
Location: 6170 Irwin Simpson Road, Mason, OH 45040Category: NorthCincy Women
This year we have two studies for women on Thursday morning:
The Sermon on the Mount
The Sermon on the Mount answers some of the most pressing questions that every Christian encounters: What is a Christian? Does the law of God still have a place in the Christian life? How can I learn to pray? How can I learn self-discipline? Why am I a prisoner to anxiety?
The Sermon on the Mount deals with these issues in a crisp, concise, and readable way. It provides an ideal introduction to Jesus' great manifesto for life in his kingdom. The study is based on the book by Sinclair Ferguson.
The Person of Jesus: A Study of Love
The Person of Jesus study looks at how to love by focusing on the one truly good man, Jesus of Nazareth. Paul Miller's winsome insights, coupled with an energetic, interactive format, lead participants to discover a Christ so personal and so rich in love. Miller explores how to show compassion, be honest without judging, depend on God, let love be enrgized by faith, embrace the way of humility, and more.
Childcare is provided. Please contact the church for more information or to reserve a spot for childcare.

The fiscal cliff saga was just one round in larger debate the country is having about the size of the federal government and who should pay for it.
This morning, hedge fund billionaire Cliff Asness through his two cents in with an op-ed in The American that would probably upset more than a few people. Asness says that if the U.S. wants to finance a "big European-style welfare state", the middle class is going to have to see its taxes increase — the rich can't finance the whole project alone, and the poor simply don't have the funds.
Spending cuts alone, he said, won't do it either. Those are two truths the government has to face.
And to the first point, raising classes on the middle class is just easier and faster than raising them on the rich.
...it's easy to tax middle-class assets and transactions — things like payrolls, sales, and real estate — but soaking the rich means taxing investments. Investments are complicated and can be restructured to minimize taxes. Also, investments are the lifeblood of economic growth. Raising significantly more taxes from the rich also requires higher marginal tax rates — and their rates are already quite high. High marginal rates distort the economy and yield less revenue than anticipated because they increase the rewards for legal and illegal tax avoidance.
That's not to say it's impossible to get more money from the rich, but it's tricky and past attempts have typically been less effective than forecast and often counterproductive. Moreover, even under the most optimistic assumptions, taxes on the rich — or taxes on businesses, financial transactions, or anything else aimed at the rich (and often hitting others) — will still not cover a large fraction of the costs of a European-style welfare state. Ask the Europeans — they've tried it all and failed.
Of course, this op-ed begs a few questions. Do Americans even want a big European style welfare state? Also, didn't the European style welfare state fail, in part, because some countries (i.e. Greece) were rife with tax evasion from all classes?
It's a thought.

April 2, 2009
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - This weekend the Yale women's track and field team will split up: some runners will head to the Colonial Relays hosted by William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., while others will head to the Sam Howell Invitational hosted by Princeton in Princeton, N.J. This Friday and Saturday will mark the first competition of the outdoor season for a few runners, while serving as the first run on the east coast for team members who competed at the University of California-Irvine Spring Break Invitational Mar. 20 and 21.
Yale will mostly send distance runners and field competitors to the Sam Howell Invitational. The Bulldogs will compete with 16 other schools from the northeast, including Ivy League rivals Columbia and Dartmouth.
Field competitors will look to continue and improve on their results from the UCI Invitational. In the high jump sophomore Emily Standish took second place, clearing 1.60 meters, and sophomore Eve King cleared 1.50 meters. Both Bulldogs should perform well in jumping events on Saturday.
Events start at 4 p.m. on Friday with the women's hammer throw, followed by distance events later in the evening. Events will resume Saturday at 11 a.m. with the men's hammer throw, and jumping and running events will continue throughout the afternoon. A complete schedule of events can be found here.
The rest of the team will head to slightly warmer weather at the 44th Annual Colonial Relays. They will compete against 24 other teams, many of them from southern schools that the Bulldogs rarely see. Last year the meet was plagued by thunderstorm warnings, and though there is a slight chance of thunder on Friday, the competition should be able to go on.
At last year's Relays, distinguished Bulldog performances included the debut of senior Bevin Peters in the steeplechase, when she finished in a time of 11:20.42 to take sixth place. Look for her to improve on that considering that she ran 11:07.95 in the event two weeks ago. Freshman Anne Lovelace made her impressive collegiate debut in the event in California as she finished third in a time of 10:54.87. This qualified her for ECAC Championships, and is just over four seconds off the NCAA Regional qualifying time. Lovelace could be trying to prove herself in this and other distance events this weekend.
Senior captain Jennifer Lin also posted a near-qualifying time in California. She finished third in the 400-meter hurdles in 62.29, less than 1.5 seconds over regional qualifying standard. Lin should lead the team well in short and middle distance.
In other individual races, sophomore Kate Grace will make her outdoor season debut. Last year she placed 24th in the 800-meter run at NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, and this winter she earned All-American status when she placed 8th at the NCAA Indoor Championships. At the Colonial Relays last year, Grace came in 5th place, and she should be a strong force for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs' middle-distance team is deep: juniors Claudia Duncan and Stephany Reaves both ran well in the 800-meter run in California, with respective times of 2:15.03 and 2:13.85, as did senior Kathryn Schleckser.
The Yale women are also adept in sprints. Freshman Alexa Monti has been continuously fast in the short sprints, and she finished the 100-meter dash two weeks ago in a time of 12.80, followed close behind by fellow freshmen Marieme Mbaye (12.95) and Emily Shulan (13.16). Sophomore Jennifer Parker recorded good times in the 200- (26.12) and 400-meter dashes (59.64). Freshmen Carys Johnson and Gabriella Kelly should also contribute well to the sprinting squad.
The depth of the team will serve them well on the second day of competition, which lives up to its name in the proliferation of relays.
Last year the distance medley relay finished second with a time of 11:50.33, and the 4x800-meter team finished third in 9:08.74. The Bulldogs should be impressive again in relays this weekend, especially coming off a fourth place finish in the 4x400-meter relay (3:51.34) and third in the 4x100-meter (47.95) at the UCI Invitational.
Events in Williamsburg start at 11 a.m. on Friday with the women's pole vault, and will end Saturday with the women's 4x400-meter relay at 4 p.m. A schedule of events and live results will be posted here throughout the day.

CAL FIRE ContactsWhat does it mean when CAL FIRE opens/closes fire season - changes preparedness levels?
The declaration of fire season in California is actually a change in preparedness levels for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. CAL FIRE is year-round fire and emergency response Department. When weather patterns in an area of the state become warm and dry, and vegetation (fuels) are at a low moisture content point, Emergency response dispatch levels are typically increased, facilities are staffed 24 hours a day and additional firefighters are hired. CAL FIRE airtankers and air attack planes are deployed from their maintenance location in Sacramento to strategic positions around the state. Restrictions and suspensions of burn permits are also likely to take effect during fire season in areas where extreme fire conditions exist.Where can I get information about becoming a Seasonal Firefighter with CAL FIRE?
When cooling weather, rain and snow are sufficient to reduce the fire threat, CAL FIRE then reduces its preparedness levels by releasing additional firefighters, closing some stations, and repositioning aircraft.
Preparedness levels can change depending upon weather patterns any time throughout the year. Typically they begin to increase earliest and remain in effect the longest in the south state as the warm, dry weather patterns can last from May to January in that region.
See the fire season preparedness levels and statistics.

Renew had been off the shelves at Good Vibes for awhile while a new style was being developed. I'm so glad to see it back again! Some folks might question whether they need a toy cleaner, since hot water and soap will usually do the trick, but with some toys it isn't that simple. Delicate battery chambers and buttons, or a toy simply being "splashproof" and not 100% waterproof can make cleaning toys in the sink more of a risky endeavor than you might think. With more sensitive toys, my cleaning routine includes dabbing hot water from a washcloth (or Swipes Lovin' Wipes) over the toy and spritzing it up with Renew before wiping it clean. It really does have a lovely citrus scent as well.
I like that the Renew Toy Revitalizing Cleanser is organic so I can use it all the time to keep my toys clean. Even on the go!!!

The following is a tribute to Jack's 90th birthday and deals with his military history.
On Dec. 7, 1941 Jack was attending an Albany, GA high school and, along with most teenagers, at that time, wanted to be in the service - specifically the U. S. Army Air Corp. But to get there he had to first have two years of college to qualify for officer candidacy.
When Candy Barber started working as a substitute in the Chiefland schools lunchroom she only wanted to have a job that allowed her to be home with her children, Royce and Janet, when they were not in school.
On Jan. 4 Barber, who estimates she has served or overseen the serving of over 5 million meals, will retire from her post as coordinator of food service for the county's 13 schools. She is also president of the Florida School Nutrition Association.
It took about half an hour for the small fiberglass tour boat to make it from the oyster-encrusted dock at Cedar Key to the small island known as Seahorse Key.
About a dozen passengers, clad in windbreakers and lap blankets, sat quietly, bobbing in unison with the gray waves of low tide. An osprey, clutching a fish in its talons, watched the boat from the channel marker it was using as a perch.
Six thousand years ago, Native Americans living in Cedar Key began piling up shells to form manmade islands.

You probably don't want to run into a gang in a dark alley but if you do, you will want this gang to be your side: Savannah Howard, Nicholas Kaim, and Levi, Nathaniel and Hannah Brinkman are an imposing group as they pose in their Dojo (training studio) Tuesday night.
State Attorney General Pam Bondi was in Cedar Key recently with her fiancé, Greg Henderson. They stopped by Kona Joe's Island Café on State Road 24 for something to eat and a chance to be photographed with Joe Sterople and Edie Zaprir on the wrap around porch of their new location. When she is not working in Tallahassee, Bondi commutes to Tampa and the couple flew up to Cedar Key for the day for a few hours of rest and relaxation.

The Cedar Key Lighthouse on Seahorse Key is situated on the top of a steep hill looking out over the Gulf of Mexico with a view that is nothing short of breathtaking. The lighthouse is only open to the public three days during the year: the Saturday following July 4 and the two days of the annual Cedar Key Seafood Festival. The weather this past Saturday was beautiful; the short boat trip to the island quite pleasant.
"...And bring a flannel shirt." Those were the words of Anne's son earlier this week.
The Cedar Lions Club is inviting all residents to participate in October Vision Awareness Month by bringing in used eyeglasses for recycling to the Lions Club Sweet Corn and Soda booth at the Oct. 15 and 16 Seafood Festival. Proceeds from sale of corn and sodas will be in support of our vision program which helps those in need obtain eye exams and glasses, while assisting with eye surgeries for qualified applicants.
Most people have a list of things they would like to do before they die, but few people actually do items on that list three times. Peg and Russ Hall are two of those rare people.

September 11, 2001
That fateful day in September, ten years past, Anne and I were on a trip up the coast. The plan was to spend two weeks at our leisure on a journey, sight seeing, exploring, thinking, writing, doing our art.
Not much went toward our intentions. As the days unfolded, I recorded them and published some of the thoughts and observations in the Cedar Key Beacon. Much of what follows was printed there:
A Transition From Positive Expectations
Cedar Key may be the "Clam Capital of the World." However, Homer, Alaska, is the official halibut capital of the world. In fact, like Cedar Key's clam claim, there's a sign at the city limits that says so.
As a youngster growing up in Canada, Susan Coffin was well aware of the Inuit custom of carving animals. It was something she learned about at the age of nine, when she received a carved stone duck.

Envy and jealousy plague the lives of good people. Yes, good people! Goodhearted individuals try hard to dispel those feelings but they persist in tormenting us, no matter how virtuous we are.
It could be we are troubled by an inability to believe in our own lovableness. Perhaps we suffer from poor self-images.
Whatever the reason, we frequently look around, see the luck and fortune others seem to enjoy and feel a twinge of envy. We crave what they have and long to change places with them.

A record number of Hope College track and field athletes have received all-conference honors from the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA).
Sixteen athletes have been named by coaches to the honor squad. Thirteen of them were gold medal winners at the annual Field Day championships. The others were selected in the at-large category.
Men's and women's All-MIAA teams have been named since 1983. The previous combined high of All-MIAA honorees from Hope was nine. The Hope teams had 13 conference champions, the school's highest number since 1986.
The teams, coached by Kevin Cole, each finished second in the conference standings. Each had their highest team point total since the current point-system was initiated in 2000.
Senior Lindsay Lange (Manistee/Manistee HS) received All-MIAA honors for a fourth straight year. She is the fourth female athlete to achieve that distinction, joining Marcia Vandersall (90-93), Emily Sowers (98-01) and Christy Watkin (01-04). An All-American heptathlete, Lange was the conference shotput champion this year. During her career she was also a conference champion in the 200 meters, 400 meters and 100-meter hurdles. She was also an All-MIAA basketball player.
Junior Nora Kuiper (Parchment/Parchment HS) received All-MIAA honors a third consecutive year after winning the 100-meter dash a third straight year. Her time this year was a conference record (:12.13). She also won the 200-meter dash.
Achieving All-MIAA honors a second time were junior Sean Bergsma (Grand Haven/Grand Haven HS) and junior Christina Lis (Novi/Novi HS). Both were the conference high jump champion, Bergsma for a second consecutive year.
First-time honorees include junior Brandon Bosch (Hudsonville/Hudsonville HS), senior Andrew Denniger (Winfield, Ill./West Chicago HS), freshman John Donkersloot (Zeeland/Zeeland East HS), junior Kate Freshour (Bloomington, Ill./Olympia HS), freshman Emily Kreichelt (Northville/Northville HS), freshman Cameron Lampkin (Oak Park/Berkley HS), sophomore Jeff Minkus (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard West HS), senior Chad Rector (Grant/Grant HS), freshman Nick Rinck (Hudsonville/Hudsonville HS), freshman Kara Vandeguchte (Hamilton/Hamilton HS), junior Emily VanderMeer (Holland/Holland HS) and senior Seth Weener (Grandville/Grandville HS).
Seth Weener was also an All-MIAA honoree in cross country. Emily VanderMeer continued a family tradition in winning the pole vault. Her older sister, Jennifer, was the MIAA pole vault champion in 2007. And waiting in the wings is her freshman sister, Sarah, who was fifth in the event this spring.
Hope honorees who were conference champions included Brandon Bosch, men's long jump; Andrew Denniger, men's javelin; Chad Rector, men's shotput; Jeff Minkus, men's triple jump; Seth Weener, men's 1,500-meters; Nick Rinck, men's 400-meter hurdles; and Emily VanderMeer, women's pole vault.

Jeff Hawe is still at Tailgate Alaska crashin', slashin and cashin' in on the bounty that is white gold. Here he introduces his latest experiences in the Last Frontier.
"The snow here is good, its a low year for sure but a low year here is a good year anywhere else. Its still AK and the lines are still big as hell if not more intimidating with less snow. The weather has been the biggest hold up this year. There has yet to be a full blue day since Tailgate kicked off this year. Resulting in riders waiting in camp, booted up so as to be ready to take advantage of the small windows of sun that do roll through. And when it is socked in there are plenty of creative distractions to occupy ones mind and keep them from getting cabin fever to bad. The King Of The Hill competition is slated to take place this week so stay tuned for the action from that." – Jeff Hawe

Gene's Reunion: You're Not
An Only Child Anymore
Gene Simmons' trip with his family to Israel has connected him to a brother and three sisters whom he never knew he had.
Gene is pictured here with his siblings, brother Kobi (who has a strong resemblance to Gene), sisters Sharon, Eugenia and Drora. I wonder if his siblings were shocked to learn their brother is the Demon bass player for Kiss?
The emitional union amd the trip to Irael has been filmed by the crew for the new season of Gene Simmons Family Jewels.

Your hair and makeup are flawless, but your nerves? A little frazzled with that camera lens in your face. Heed these tips to guarantee great shots -- of you, your groom, and your friends.
For Your Portrait
Aim to Flatter
During formal pictures, "stand at a slight angle, not straight on," says Donna Newman, a photographer in Miami. And remember the basics: Take a deep breath, exhale, then tilt your chin down and look up. Also, people look slimmer when photographed from an elevated point, so ask your pro to hop up on a chair for some shots.
Bring a Friend
Have her stand off camera to carry on a conversation -- bonus if she's the funniest bridesmaid. "There's nothing more attractive than a sincere laugh," says Thayer Allyson Gowdy, a San Francisco-based photographer.
Hold the Bouquet with One Hand
Rather than clasping both hands around it, clutch it loosely with one and let the other hang naturally by your side. It'll look more relaxed.
Be Nervous -- It's Okay
Everyone's a bit jittery on the big day. Rather than forcing a smile the whole time, let yourself be real. "If I can catch the bride staring anxiously out the window or welling up with her mom, I know I've got a good one," says Gowdy. "Raw emotions make for gorgeous photos."
Just You Two
Ask for Some Alone Time
At the start of your session, have your photographer give you a few minutes while she discreetly shoots, paparazzi-style, from a distance. You're more likely to act natural without a third party right there, Gowdy explains.
Take a Walk
Hold hands and set off on a short stroll, even if it's just across the lawn. "The hair moves, the dress flows, and there's energy to the image," says Gowdy.
Kiss (Yes, Really)
It may feel cheesy at first, but it's your wedding -- go for it. "I joke and tell couples, 'Okay, you two, you can finally make out,' and they always laugh and have an awesome kiss," says Gowdy. "Let your guard down, and you'll get a beautiful image."
Use Props
And no, we don't mean moustaches. (It's official: They've jumped the shark!) Seek out items that are part of the scenery. If there's a statue outside your city venue, climb on. Getting hitched by a lake? Pose in a rowboat.
Your Wedding Party
Find a Backdrop
The ocean is always nice, but a wedding party lined up in front of funky hotel wallpaper or peeking out from the windows of a B&B is interesting, too.
Get Moving
As with the bride and groom, it helps to walk. Newman likes to have giggling flower girls and ring bearers chase the bride and bridesmaids while she shoots.
Use Furniture
Varying the height within a group can look much better than the standard lineup. If you have couches or vintage chairs set out for the reception, take a seat.
Make It Look Random
Max Wanger, a photographer in Los Angeles, often staggers people or asks everyone to look in a different direction. "Group shots are best when they're not so uniform," he says.
Catch the Guys Off Guard
Most men aren't exactly pro posers, so Wanger likes to capture them doing something -- like clinking glasses of Scotch or throwing a football.

It's about time I did a post regarding Meatless Monday. I've been sending out emails every Monday at work for over a year now, encouraging folks with ideas for alternative, meatless meals. In fact, it's kind of what got me thinking I could do a food blog in the first place.
I'm not a vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination but I do try to eat "a plant-based diet." Even the Government is on board with this philosophy as evidenced by their Chose My Plate campaign.
I'm not a vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination but I do try to eat "a plant-based diet." Even the Government is on board with this philosophy as evidenced by their Chose My Plate campaign.
I must admit, I never ate a lot of beef. And when it comes to cooking I don't like handling dead flesh; sorry, but that's what it is. Luckily there are so many different ways to get the protein your body needs without resorting to carnavoreism that's it's silly not to do it at least one day a week.
For instance, why would you indulge in a greasy, fatty cow burger when you can have a fresh, healthy veggie burger? The veggie burger is going to give you the same burger experience without the coronary disease and bad karma. Plus the added bonus of numerous other nutrients that aren't even in the meat! As far as I'm concerned, a veggie burger is going to transcend a cow burger any day of the week, not just Monday.
Edamame and red quinoa are my two best friends right now. They play together nice in this burger which I've dubbed 'Quiname' in honor of the two star ingredients. Rounding out the cast are almonds, raisins and whole wheat flour. It's all good, good, good stuff to nourish body and mind! When you have a burger this wholesome and fresh there's no way you're gonna use ketchup, which is basically high fructose corn syrup, so please check out the accompanying recipe for Susan's Tomato Jam. I picked this up at Terrain in Glen Mills. I missed Susan's demo but found the recipe in a glass Wrek jar I purchased!
Quiname Burgers
1 & 1/2 cups edamame
1 cup cooked quinoa (follow the package instructions)
1/4 cup ground almonds
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ounces Farmhouse cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
Susan's Tomato Jam (recipe to follow)
Whole wheat rolls
your favorite burger fixins'
your favorite burger fixins'
Pour boiling water over raisins and let stand for about 5 minutes to absorb water. Combine edamame, quinoa, almonds, soaked raisins and whole wheat flour in food processor. Blend until mixture comes together. Form into four round patties. Wrap and chill for about 30 minutes. Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Cook burgers for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Turn down the heat and top each burger with cheese slices. Pour a little water in the pan and cover, cook for 1 more minute to melt cheese. Makes 4 burgers. Serve on whole wheat rolls with Susan's Tomato Jam and your favorite burger toppings.
Susan's Tomato Jam
(adapted from original recipe)
1 pound (about 2 cups) homegrown tomatoes (I used my volunteer tomatoes, I'm sure you're sick of hearing me talk about them)
1/4 cup raw cane sugar
2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
pinch red pepper flakes
pinch red pepper flakes
Cut tomatoes small pieces and combine with all other ingredients in a small, heavy bottomed pot. Cook on medium heat, stirring often until mixture jells and coats the back of a spoon, about 30 to 45 minutes. Susan's original recipe gave instructions for putting the jam up in jars. However, this is a much smaller quantity than the original, plus I don't feel qualified to instruct you on jarring. I just keep mine in a sealed container in the fridge. It's such a small amount that you will probably use it up before it can go bad in a week or two. If you know what you're doing and you feel comfortable jarring up the jam than go for it. Use on every and anything you would normally use ketchup.

Nokia and RIM Shares Jump in Wake of Apple Patent Win
After Apple was handed a major victory last Friday in a patent case against Android smartphone maker Samsung, shares of Nokia, the predominant Windows Phone manufacturer, jumped nearly 9 percent on Monday morning. A possible reason for the sudden surge: Trouble for Samsung could be indicative of a larger problem for Android, so manufacturers of rival smartphone platforms may end up benefiting. Similarly, BlackBerry maker Research In Motion also saw a slight bump in shares on Monday, up almost 2 percent from its opening price.

Passover always officially marks the beginning of Spring in my year. To me, the holiday is about remembering slavery and oppression, as well as trying to recognize it in our daily lives and the lives of those elsewhere on our planet. It is also about hope for future liberation, and in recognizing another year to do the work of making the world a better place. In that respect, I also find it very compatible with my feelings about being a vegetarian and working for equality and social justice. The awesome feast doesn't hurt, either.
Since Passover is so special to me, I think being in another country is no reason not to celebrate it. Sure, I have no idea where to find kosher wine or matzoh flour here in Belgium... but its gotta be available somewhere, and I will find it by Tuesday, when 7 people descend on my tiny cramped apartment demanding matzoh ball soup. Until then, I am scouring the internet for awesome recipes that can be made with my limited funds, space, and ingredients.
Here's some of the great stuff I've found for those of you hosting your own seder, or just wanting to contribute a vegan dish to one you might be going to. (Nicely, since vegan food contains no dairy, you are safe bringing these dishes to a Seder regardless of whether its a meat or dairy one!)
The Times has a Mark Bittman recipe for... wait for it... making your own matzoh! Not quite sure my kitchen can handle it (500 degrees on a glorified toaster oven?) but I'm very tempted to try.
Over at Tofu Mom's site she has a recipe for vegan matzoh balls (
At Not Derby Pie (non-vegan) there are a few nice veganizable recipes, and I am eying this Crisp Potato Eggplant Tart.
Epicurious has a Passover guide, like every year, and there are some great and multi-cultural ideas to be culled from it. I have tried their different versions of charoset every year, but the traditional apple and walnut version always wins. I should also mention that Epicurious has a lot of info on the Passover traditions, as well as videos of how to make a perfect matzoh ball. :)
Even PETA has a Passover guide, with a number of surprisingly appealing recipes, including tsimmes. (I don't mean to be snarky, but I've seen one too many nude models in lettuce leaves to be a huge PETA fan.)
...And naturally you are free to peruse the recipes I posted last year, including Coconut Macaroons, Cauliflower Leek Kugel, and Roasted Beets in Walnut Dressing.
I'll be sure to post what I eventually went with. Wish me luck!
BONUS: Jewschool always has thought-provoking posts this time of year, and here's a touching old Times article about Passover in Berlin.

AMD unveils four dual-core Turion CPUs
Digital Media XPress vs Intel's Digital Media Boost
AMD has launched its dual-core Turion 64 X2 notebook-oriented microprocessor line, as expected. Today's introduction saw the arrival of four of the chips aggressively priced to match what AMD is already charging for its top-of-the-line single-core Turions.
The four new CPUs - aka 'Taylor' - are the TL-50, TL-52, TL-56 and TL-60. The first two are clocked at 1.6GHz, the TL-56 at 1.8GHz and the TL-60 at 2GHz. All four use AMD's new DDR 2 SDRAM-supporting Socket S1 interface and are fabbed at 90nm. DDR 2 support extends to 667MHz memory, not the 800MHz some pre-release rumours had suggested.
The TL-50 contains twin 256KB caches, while the TL-52, TL-56 and TL-60 all have two lots of 512KB cache.
The TL-50 and TL-50 both have TDPs of 31W, rising to 33W for the TL-56 and 35W for the TL-60.
In a desperate bid to match Intel's Digital Media Boost trademark, part of its Core 2 Duo technology, AMD launched one of its own: Digital Media XPress. Essentially, it's a new name for PowerNow!, the MMX, SSE, SSE 2 and SSE 3 compatibility system AMD's offered for some time.
The four Turion 64 X2s are priced at $184, $220, $263 and $354, respectively, when sold in batches of 1000 CPUs. ®

Photos: They got fit; you can, too!Need some inspiration? – "Lose weight," "eat healthy" and "go to the gym" always top the list of the most popular New Year's resolutions. If you're in need of some inspiration to tackle your goal, look no further. CNN regularly profiles people who have lost a significant amount of weight. We checked in with some of our past motivators to see how getting fit has changed their lives. See their physical transformations by clicking through the gallery, then get started on your own! When you hit your goal weight, we want to hear about it. Hide Caption 1 of 7 Photos: They got fit; you can, too!Bryan Ganey – For years, Bryan Ganey worked the night shift, bingeing on fast food and soda for breakfast, lunch and dinner. By the age of 37, he had a body mass index of 87 (anything over 30 is considered obese). Then, a pulmonary embolism changed his life. In 2½ years, he's lost 347 pounds. Ganey has also run a 5K without a stopping and cut an hour off of his 10K race time. He's even started a weight loss consulting business on the side and is working on a book. "I turn 40 next month and I can't wait," Ganey wrote in an e-mail in December. "Most people dread getting older. For me, it's an achievement. I made it. Life has never been better!"Read more about Ganey's weight loss journeyHide Caption 2 of 7 Photos: They got fit; you can, too!Darrin Cook – Darrin Cook grew up in New Orleans, where food was the center of his family's life. When they evacuated for Hurricane Katrina, food became a comfort and a reminder of home. At his heaviest, Cook weighed 390 pounds. Between 2006 and 2010, he lost 175 pounds. Cook now weighs a comfortable 240. His book, "The Weight of New Orleans," is set to release in January. Read more about Cook's weight loss journeyHide Caption 3 of 7 Photos: They got fit; you can, too!Doug Skinner – A couple of months after CNN wrote about Doug Skinner's 125-pound loss, Skinner found out his wife was pregnant with their second child. The birth of their son, combined with a move, put Skinner's weight loss goals on the back burner. He regained 25 pounds but has since worked to take it off. He ran his second half-marathon this summer and has rejoined Weight Watchers. "I know this isn't the last time I will face weight issues, but I just keep trying to stay on top of it," Skinner said. "It is a fight that I will eventually win."Read more about Skinner's weight loss journeyHide Caption 4 of 7 Photos: They got fit; you can, too!Michelle Jackson – Michelle Jackson was terrified to turn 40 in 2013, fearing that a slowing metabolism would prevent her from ever getting healthy. Determined to take control of her future, she dropped 100 pounds in less than two years and has continued to maintain her weight loss. Even her 10-year-old son has been inspired to pick up healthier habits. Read more about Jackson's weight loss journeyHide Caption 5 of 7 Photos: They got fit; you can, too!Mark Rucker – Mark Rucker's friends call him "The Beast" for a reason. Since February 2011 -- while dropping 100 pounds -- he's participated in a 5K, a 10K, a half-marathon, a marathon and an Ironman competition. "I took a couple of months off from the rigorous training routine but am back on schedule now, training for Ironman Louisville next August," Rucker said. He's also working on developing his career as a motivational speaker. Read more about Rucker's weight loss journeyHide Caption 6 of 7 Photos: They got fit; you can, too!Drew Manning – Drew Manning's story shocked America. The fitness trainer purposely put on 70 pounds in six months last year, only to drop it all again before June. Manning said his goal was to understand better what his clients were going through as they struggled to lose weight. "The biggest thing (I learned) is that it's not just about the physical. It's not just about the meal plan and the workouts and those things. The key is the mental and the emotional issues. I realized those issues are real," he said at the time. Manning has maintained his body and is continually working others to adopt a healthier lifestyle. You can see some of their inspiring stories here.Hide Caption 7 of 7Powered by Livefyre
