>General Running>More miles than degrees club
It felt absolutely wonderful to be outside!
Yep! Welcome all you recent newbs!
Mike, I like the part of the long run in the teens when the nozzle of the water/gatorade bottle freezes, rendering it "challenging."
- Joe
We are fragile creatures on collision with our judgment day.
It's been dropping two degrees per hour pretty much all night. Currently -8. I started my run at +3, so I could have run backwards, or something.
Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits.- Mark Twain
Funky Kicks 2019
A 5 degree start to my 10 mile run. I could really use a mid winter thaw, mentally, but forecast is not looking promising.
Leah, mother of dogs
It's nothing against you people but I want out of this club.
2 degrees for my 11.5-mile hill workout this morning. Eff this shite.
Runners run.
9 miles. 1 lonely degree.
BUT, I hope to quit this club for a good long while with any luck. Forecast low tonight is 11, and I'm only planning 9 miles.
Still might have to check in on Niko and LL, though. You guys are some tough winter warriors!!

Nope, it was 10F here and I only did 6.5 miles. Looks like I'll have a reprieve for at least a week. Maybe the rest of the season. <fingers-crossed-emoticon here>
Last nights run started at 8 degrees, and was 4 by the time I finished. Almost ten miles. It'll get warm soon, right?
Running Life Between
It'll get warm soon, right?
Let's all hope so!
ran 4 miles at 0F
At least I am getting good use out of my snowshoes this year. Ten miles, 5 degrees.
And RIP iPod Shuffle I sweat killed it yesterday. I thought I was saving battery life by keeping it inside my coat, but there must be too much moisture in there and it finally succumbed.
I saw this poor bastard too. Bad, bad idea to drive your truck out here! I think he meant to drive up the hill but couldn't get up, so was backing out when he backed right off the road. Oops. Gave me something to think about while I ran, other than how much I missed my music.
Two thoughts. 1. I have probably sweat killed half a dozen mp3 players over the years. That's why I buy cheap ones! Them and headphones. 2. I gotta start running with a camera. Except I never see anything very exciting on my little suburban runs. 3. Bummer for that dude, man. Bummer. I guess them's 3 thoughts.
Me too!
I don't think I am going to replace the Shuffle. I run with my iPhone (doubles as camera!) and I can just play music through the phone if I need to. And my phone is in a waterproof case, so sweat proof.
I'm in! 0 degrees at 5am this morning. Ran 2.5 miles from and back to the gym before warming up with a back and shoulders strength workout.
The Phoenix has risen! Recovered from my injury, and kickin' serious asphalt once again!
And I'm OUT! 9 miles in a heat wave of 15F today!

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
Signs the crisis in Syria might be averted without U.S. military action unleashed the bulls on the Street Tuesday.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 3:00 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 107 points, or 0.71%, to 15170, the S&P 500 gained 10.5 points, or 0.63%, to 1682 and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 18.8 points, or 0.5%, to 3725.
Last week, the drums of war beat loudly as a U.S.-led strike in Syria seemed all but certain. The tides have changed, however, as a diplomatic outcome appears to be gaining steam. Syria said it will accept a Russian offer to put its chemical weapons under international control for eventual dismantlement, according to multiple news reports.
The move could be the first step to halting a potential military battle that could cost billions and roil one of the most volatile regions in the world. President Barack Obama will hold a news conference in the evening on Syria.
Commodity markets had the sharpest reaction to the news. Oil futures slid $1.77, or 1.6%, to $107.74 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline dipped 1% to $2.775 a gallon. Gold dropped $18.60, or 1.3%, to $1,368 a troy ounce.
Traders reacted positively to data from China showing industrial production jumped 10.% on a year-to-year basis, exceeding estimates of 9.7%. The data come on the heels of a report showing the world's No. 2 economy is exporting more than analysts expected. The data have helped calm worries that China would be in for a "hard landing," where its growth cools down sharply.
There are no major U.S. economic reports on tap.
In corporate news, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), Visa (NYSE:V) and Nike (NYSE:NKE) will be added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, replacing Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) and Alcoa (NYSE:AA), S&P Dow Jones Indices said. This is the first "three for three" change to the benchmark stock-market index since April 2004.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is expected to debut a new version of its high-end iPhone and roll out a low-cost iPhone at a closely-watched press event.

The Long Island Power Authority is a nonprofit municipal electric utility that has operated in some capacity on Long Island for over 25 years. For as long as I can remember, LIPA has been about as popular as a root canal. Increasingly high electric rates and mismanagement have plagued the company for decades, and left its 1.1 million customers on Long Island dissatisfied.
That dissatisfaction grew exponentially after Hurricane Sandy. Approximately 90 percent of the utility's Long Island customers lost power, and it took weeks for many of them to get it back. The tales of LIPA's inaccurate service maps and poor customer service were unending.
National Grid (formerly KeySpan) has maintained LIPA's power distribution and transmission, and for that reason it was the focus of just as much criticism for the post-storm response. As a result, LIPA and National Grid became the target of state leaders and citizens alike, who attacked the electric providers' lack of preparation for and response to the storm.
Since 2010, Governor Cuomo has expressed disdain for the way state energy agencies operate. "I don't believe you can fix it," he has said. "I believe it has to be overhauled and you need a new system." What happened after Sandy solidified the governor's sentiments, and he created the Moreland Commission to investigate utility companies across the state.
Cuomo has proposed a bill that would replace LIPA and National Grid with Public Service Electric & Gas Co. of New Jersey, and would give PSE&G full control of daily operations. The proposal would also freeze Long Islanders' electric rates for three years, beginning in 2015, and cut LIPA's staff from 90 to about 20.
The Cuomo administration believes that this bill would save the state $50 million to $60 million annually beginning in 2016, and slash LIPA's overwhelming debt.
Long Islanders deserve better customer service, comparable market rates and state-of-the-art emergency response — but we must ensure that these changes are for the better.
On June 6, the second of two scheduled public meetings attracted almost 300 concerned Long Islanders, who voiced their concerns about Cuomo's proposal. Many made valid points.

Dimensional Color: The Art of Federico Herrero
One could say that Costa Rican artist Federico Herrero loves color, and that might be true. Yet, a more accurate statement would be that Herrero loves the effects of color – the tensions created by neighboring hues, the spatial manipulation of background and foreground, and contrast of vibrant pigments against an urban landscape.
Federico's story is unusual, but at the same time, fitting for an artist born and raised in San José, a city center surrounded by nature. In 2000, he was 22, and hanging small pictures from the trees in downtown. One year later, he won the award for best young artist at the Venice Biennale, and has since emerged as one of the most important visual artists of Central America.
His work reflects the vibrant, tropical and chaotic urban-ness of a city at the edge of an encroaching jungle. In his pieces, organic, geometric shapes jostle against each other, clamoring for a piece of canvas. They creep along the edges, and often break free of the frame entirely, wending onto the walls and into the crevices of his installations spaces. Recognizably a muralist, Herrero considers himself first and foremost, a painter, as it is the application of pigment onto a surface that drives him – be it a canvas, a brick wall, or a glass fronted gallery. He blurs the lines between the studio and the street, and sees each piece, regardless of its location as a continuation of the one before it. Federico does not plan or sketch out his paintings in advance, but instead lets the tension of color and form guide each and every brushstroke. His paintings are colorful, but ultimately, they are expressions of space – the absence of space, the abundance of space and what happens when one impinges upon the other.
Federico Herrero has exhibited his work in solo and group shows around the world, but until now, has never has a solo show in the United States. His newest exhibition, "Paintings," is showing February 3rd – February 25, 2012, at the Bridgette Meyer Gallery in Philadelphia.

May 4, 2014, DURHAM, N.C. (ISN) – Duke University was selected as the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Tournament and will host the winner of the play-in game between Air Force and Richmond in Koskinen Stadium Sunday May 11 at 5:15 p.m. on ESPNU.
The Blue Devils earned one of eight at-large bids to the tournament and will be making their 18th appearance in the NCAA postseason event.
Tickets for the game are $8 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens. Fans can purchase tickets at GoDuke.com or by calling the Duke ticket office at 1-877-375-3853. The game will be televised live by ESPNU.
The Blue Devils finished the regular season with a 13-3 mark and are making their eighth straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Duke has been among the top eight seeds in 16 of its 18 appearances and is the No. 1 seed for the third time. Duke is 5-2 as the No. 1 seed.
The reigning NCAA Champions, Duke is 28-15 all-time in NCAA Tournament games and 19-5 under head coach John Danowski. The Blue Devils have advanced to the final weekend in each of the past seven seasons and captured the NCAA title in both 2010 and 2013. Danowski is the lone coach in Division I lacrosse history to lead a squad to championship weekend in each of his first seven seasons at the helm of a program.
The 2014 ACC Offensive Player of the Year Jordan Wolf headlines the Duke attack with 51 goals and 80 points overall, while sophomore midfielder Deemer Class owns 31 goals and 25 assists for 56 points. Fellow attackman Josh Dionne has 43 goals on the year, while Myles Jones and Christian Walsh round out the first midfield line with Class with 42 and 38 points, respectively.
At the faceoff X, senior Brendan Fowler is 209-of-398 for a .601 win percentage and 151 ground balls. He has won at least 50 percent of his draws in all but four games this season. Defensively, the senior trio of Casey Carroll, Chris Hipps and Henry Lobb anchor the close defense. Carroll headlines the group with 19 caused turnovers and 41 ground balls. In addition, junior Will Haus leads the defensive midfield crew with 37 ground balls and is a threat on offense with eight goals and two assists.
In goal, sophomore Luke Aaron is 12-3 overall with a 9.59 goals against average and a .529 save percentage.
Air Force earned the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament by capturing the ECAC title as the No. 3 seed, while Richmond, in its first year of lacrosse, grabbed the automatic berth from the Atlantic Sun. The Falcons are 10-5 and defeated No. 14 Fairfield to win the conference crown. The Spiders sport a 6-10 record in their first year as a program and defeated top-seed Mercer in the opening round and High Point in the title game.
Duke has faced the Falcons six times in the regular season, going 4-2 in those games, while the potential matchup with the Spiders would be the first.
The winner of Sunday's game advances to the quarterfinals to play the winner of Johns Hopkins – Virginia. That quarterfinal will be played at the University of Delaware, May 18.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 23, 2010) - A pair of junior sprinters highlighted the Buccaneers on Saturday, as the second and final day of the 32nd Niswonger Invitational came to close inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
Jasmine Ingram (Frederick, Md.) and Michael James (Palm Bay, Fla.) showcased dominating performances in their respective event areas on the track. Ingram, who all ready set a new school record in the 400m last weekend at Virginia Tech, shaved some additional time off that mark in the finals on Saturday. The Frederick, Md. native flew her way to gold with a top time of 55.86.
"This was definitely a strong second day, because of some miscues we made yesterday," said associate head coach Michelle Byrne. "I was really excited for Jasmine, because she has worked really hard and has finally figured out how to compete in the 400 at the Division I level. In each race this season, she has put up a personal best, and I think she will get under 55 before the season is over - I can't say enough about her. Jasmine and Zachlynn (Blackburn) were definitely the highlight on the women's side this weekend."
While Ingram was busy taking home top honors in the 400, James was doing the same in the 60m hurdles. James, who qualified for the finals on Friday with a time of 8.21, clocked in a time of eight seconds flat to capture his third title in the hurdles this season.
"Mike didn't have a good race in the prelims yesterday, so we made some technical adjustments prior to the final," added Byrne. "I think he would have liked to run faster today, but he is almost there. If Mike can stay up in hurdles four and five, he can be really fast. He wasn't seeded in the top two coming in and ended up with the win, so that's a huge accomplishment."
Elsewhere on the track, senior Duronal Monal (Belle Glade, Fla.) turned in a personal best effort in the 200m. Monal finished second behind Manteo Mitchell with a time of 21.49.
"I was very pleased with Duronal's effort today," said Byrne. "His performance today was a lifetime best and a big PR. I know he is disappointed because he felt he had the race within his grasp. Technically he is working on it as well, so I just need for him to be confident and to run his race. If he does that, good things will happen."
Earlier in the morning, senior Kenneth Rotich (Nairobi, Kenya) and USC Upstate's Gilbert Kembio met up in the men's 5000m. Back in October, Rotich blew by Kembio to win his second straight individual Atlantic Sun Cross Country Championship, but on Saturday the Spartan runner got some revenge. Kembio won the title by finishing in 14:35.19, while Rotich - who was making his season debut in the event - placed second in 14:39.04. Following Rotich's performance in the distance event, fellow Buccaneer runner Manny Gonzalez (Maryville, Tenn.) put together a second-place finish of his own in the mile. Gonzalez cut six seconds off his previous best this season by clocking in at 4:26.21.
In the field events, freshman Ryan Beaver (Virginia Beach, Va.) came away with a sixth-place showing in the long jump. Beaver, who advanced to the finals, finished with a leap of 23-04.75 (7.13m). On the women's side newcomer Kelly Monteleone turned in a season best mark in the long jump. Prior to this meet, Monteleone's previous best was 5.01m, but on Saturday the long jumper posted a leap 17-06.25 (5.34m).
Rounding things out in the final event of the evening was the men's 4x400m relay. The foursome of Quentin Greenlee (Morristown, Tenn.), Robert Purcell (Raeford, N.C.), James and Monal put together a strong sixth-place finishing against a loaded field. The Bucs tallied a time of 3:19.12 in the event.
"To say that I'm really pleased with the 4x400 team is an understatement," said Byrne. "These four athletes really competed today - and I think right off the bat - (Robert) Purcell and (Quentin) Greenlee stepped up. Both of them ran relay PRs and running 3:19 is a good improvement for us. With the runners we have, they are capable in putting together a run of 3:15.
"Overall, anytime you can come away with two wins (and a second) on the last day of an invitational event, you are having a good day," Byrne said. "We competed hard and now we can't just be complacent. We have to take good care of ourselves and get ready for the next time we step on the track as we keep preparing for the conference championships."
The ETSU track and field team returns to action next weekend when the Bucs compete in the Liberty Open on Friday and Saturday.

Pets, Pets, Pets
The word "foster" comes from the Old English "fostrian" which means "to nourish or support." By the 13th Century the definition had expanded to mean "to encourage or help grow." Foster homes are essential to animal rescue. Here are 10 reasons why you should consider fostering a dog or cat for your town shelter or a private humane organization:
1. Fostering saves lives. Orphan kittens and puppies are too young to survive on their own at a shelter because the staff is not there 24/7. Bottle babies need frequent feedings and constant monitoring until they are weaned and can eat on their own. Many groups and town shelters (including Hempstead and Babylon) reach out to experienced bottle feeders.
2. Fostering frees up precious space in shelters and kennels. Kitten season lasts from April through November with the influx peaking at the end of summer. Foster programs put kittens in a holding pattern so they don't all descend on shelters at once. Babylon asks those on the waiting list who've found kittens to hold them until they are at least two pounds. This way they can be spay/neutered and put up for adoption right away rather than grow up at the shelter. Last Hope puts some long-time or special needs dogs in foster care which opens up runs for new dogs in need. At times the newbies have been adopted before the foster dogs come back.
3. Some organizations do not have physical shelters. These groups depend on foster homes to care for their dogs and cats until permanent homes are found. Last Hope partners with several rescues in West Virginia that do not have shelters, instead only an animal control officer who puts dogs down right away unless the rescues take them. Their precious few foster homes are spread throughout their counties. The only alternative is boarding which is very expensive. It is also difficult to show pets to prospective adopters when they are in boarding.
4. Fostering helps rescues to know more about the animals in their care. Since strays come to rescues without histories, it is useful to know how a dog will act in a home before that dog is placed. Is the dog housebroken and house-worthy (not a chewer)? At times we are pleasantly surprised to find out that a dog that had trouble relaxing in a kennel settles right into a home routine. The more we know about a dog; the better we can match him up with an appropriate home.
5. Fostering can aid in socializing homeless animals. Shelter pets come from varying degrees of deprivation. Trapped kittens need plenty of handling to enhance their friendliness. Rescue groups take in dogs that endured hoarder nightmares or spent their lives outdoors. Foster care can help accustom them to "normal" people, other pets plus all the sights and sounds that are part of a home routine. Training is reinforced during their foster stay.
6. Fostering relieves the stress of long-time confinement. The behavior of some pets deteriorates after a prolonged shelter stay. Dogs may start pacing or circling, become withdrawn or uncooperative or even refuse return to their kennels. Cats may become ornery or begin over-grooming, causing their fur to fall out. Time out at a foster home gives these pets the opportunity to experience a comfortable, nurturing home life which may help remedy confinementinduced issues before they escalate.
7. Foster care is beneficial to pets recovering from surgery or illness. Homeless pets in the midst of medical turmoil do well in foster care especially when showered with TLC. Last Hope's Husky "Kirstie" from Babylon Shelter is presently in the middle of her heartworm treatment. This gorgeous young dog had extreme complications after her first dose of immiticide, the arsenic compound that cures heartworm. We really thought we were going to lose her. Although her vet grilled her chicken each day while she was hospitalized, Kirstie still had no appetite. For the last month she has been in foster care with an incredible Last Hope volunteer family. She loves her people, her walks along Eatons Neck and home cooking especially if Stella Dora "S" cookies are added to the menu. Next week is Kirstie's heartworm treatment part 2 and we are all holding our breath.
8. Fostering helps to limit the spread of upper respiratory (URI) and other infections at shelters. Even with vet care, antibiotics and isolation areas, it is difficult to contain contagious infections in crowded shelters. Foster parents without pets of their own are a rarity and priceless. A dog with kennel cough and a cat with a URI can recover in foster care without infecting others.
9. Short-term foster care is a nice alternative for animal lovers who cannot own a fulltime pet. A busy, seasonal work schedule or family circumstances may preclude adopting a pet, but sometimes people have months free when they can take a foster pet for a limited period of time.
10. Fostering is a wonderful thing to do. It's rewarding to open your heart and home to pets in need, knowing that you facilitated their journey to their forever home. If fostering is for you, contact a rescue group or shelter to fill out a foster application. Once approved, the group will work with you to find a pet that will fit your situation.

Every day I come to my shop and get to work , building the next frame or doing some sort of repair or modification. My day started out typically-I had a frame that I had started the day before and needed to finish it today or else I would be falling behind my self imposed shedule. The more efficient I am, the more money I make and the sooner the customer gets the frame-this is why I work many hours without thinking about who I depend on for the stuff that makes my job easier....sometimes making it possible at all. Today was a day where the lightning bolt hit...all of a sudden I realized that this particular frame was coming together really well and inspite of my need for expediency was actually fun to build. This isn't to say that framebuilding is normally not a fun thing , but it is often hard work with many chances for frustration. This brings me to a subject that is often on my mind: Good materials for small builders are not something that large companies want to produce any more. One by one the large companies that used to make quality stuff for the US market are deciding that there isn't enough profit in supplying small framebuilders , now that the large bicycle companies are all having their bikes made in Taiwan or China. With this being the case small framebuilders have a real problem looming in the near future.......the stuff they depend on to build with may be soon an extinct species. The solution ? Build the stuff here-and fortunately, there are a few folks still willing to do this. These folks are heros in my book because they don't care about the bottom line as much as they care about this symbiotic world of suppliers, builders, painters and others. The frame in the picture has yokes and dropouts designed by Mike Aherens. Mike's stuff is what he uses on his own bikes but he sells these excellent fittings to anyone who wants to build with them. I could not build this type of frame without Mikes stuff. Another US manufaturer of framebuilding suppies is Mark Norstad of Paragon Machine works. Nearly every frame I build has one of his bottom bracket shells , made right here in California. Paul Price of Paul Components makes a terrific steel track dropout....it isn't a product he makes a lot of money on -he makes them because builders want them . Kirk Pacenti may have his lugs and BB shells made overseas but he creates them for US builders for the most part. Hank Folsom of Henry James has been having lugsets cast in the US for thirty years and sells the last US made tubing, True Temper. These folks are going out on a limb financially to keep a small industry alive and none of them are getting rich . While large bicycle companies go away from metal frames in favor of carbon fiber ( No need for skilled labor such as welders or machinists ) the folks that make supplies for the small builder see value in sustaining the craft . Carbon fiber bicycles are very popular but they are probably the least green bike available. Metals of all kinds can be recycled and some can easily be repaired. This is not the case for carbon fiber for the most part . Essentially ,every carbon fiber frame is destined for the landfill. Today I though about that.....and the folks I depend on. I hope you all are thinking about it as well.

thanks for the honorable mention. For what it's worth, I too have been thinking along these lines. So much so that I'm now investigating making my castings in the US.

On Staying Happy
from the happy-new-year dept
Techdirt has been going strong since 1997, so it's not like we're new to covering these sorts of things. But, in the end, I personally stay extremely happy and optimistic because I see how far we've come -- and I recognize the inevitable outcome of most of these debates. Yes, we point out plenty of bad stuff, but it's not about complaining about how terrible things are -- but about trying to help open some eyes to the possibilities of moving forward, adapting and embracing new technological possibilities. And, while there are some extremely loud and public holdouts, every day we're seeing examples of it working. We see the inevitable results of technological change in enabling new and powerful business models that greatly expand markets, provide consumers with much more than before, and enable new innovations that you might never have thought were possible before.
The internet is a phenomenal communications tool that very few people had even heard of not so long ago. The world wide web only came into being slightly more than fifteen years ago. The ability to go online and find just about anything you need in seconds is a brand new phenomenon. The fact that you can talk to people, easily, in far away places -- make new connections, share stories, exchange ideas, debate, argue and connect, well beyond your local community -- is all simply amazing. Beyond online communications, the internet has provided new and amazing tools for business, commerce, entertainment and information that were nearly impossible to imagine by all but the most visionary people just a few decades ago.
How can you not be optimistic and excited when you look back at how far we've come in such a short time, and think about how much further we can go?
Yes, we're in the midst of a brutal financial mess -- but that won't stop innovation. Yes, incumbent forces, with short-sighted plans and a desire to hold back the tides are annoying and disruptive (not in a good way) in the short run. But even they are finding they can't hold back progress. Robert Friedel has a wonderful book called A Culture of Improvement that details how we, as a society, are constantly looking to improve on what we already have. We add ideas and ingenuity to old concepts and build something better -- not because of the desire to grab some "intellectual property," but because of the desire to improve our own lot, to build a better tool that we want to use. Incumbent short-sighted players have been able to hinder and harm progress, but they can't keep it down completely. That culture of improvement can't be stopped entirely.
There is, of course, plenty to be vigilant about, of course. Bad and corrupt political moves can seriously stunt economic improvement, but history has shown that such periods are often short-lived, as the need for continued economic growth and advancement is impossible to stomp out completely -- and as it seeps out through the cracks, legacy businesses crumble, and outdated political rules and short-sighted policies are pushed to the side. Yes, more come along, often as the innovators of yesterday seek to stop the innovators of tomorrow, but the march of innovation hasn't been stopped yet.
So, yes, we rant and rage against short-sighted policies, and efforts that hinder and delay the inevitable, but we're excited and optimistic and happy about what we see as the eventual possibilities from that advancement and innovation. Any "anger" or "unhappiness" we might display is more frustration at ourselves for not being able to clearly paint a picture -- for those seeking to hold back progress -- of just what opportunities moving forward provides.
As we move into 2009, there are plenty of things to be worried about, but look around at what progress has brought to us already, and look at the trends and the obvious direction in which technology is taking us -- there's so much to look forward to, it's hard to let any depression seep into the discussion at all.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker men's tennis team was shutout by regional and national power the Francis Marion Patriots on Tuesday afternoon. The nationally ranked No. 14 Patriots defeated the Cobras 9-0.
The men fought hard in each of their matches, as they won games in all but one of the matches played. Coker had their best chances to win at No. 1, No. 2 and No. 5 singles. At No. 1 singles James Corfield (New Zealand) lost 6-2, 6-4, while at No. 2 singles Leonardo Lima (Brazil) took a 6-4, 6-2 loss. Then at No. 5 singles Juan Vallejo-Gonzalez (Ecuador) took a 6-3, 7-6 loss.
The Cobras will now prepare for the Conference Carolinas Tennis Championships that start Friday at the Palmetto Tennis Center in Sumter, S.C. Coker will be either the #6 or #7 seed depending on the outcome of the final matches of the season on Wednesday.

After 18 years and more than 200 appeal cases on behalf of agricultural producers challenging government payment decisions, Bill Arens says he's never seen anything like the current situation with cucumber growers in Texas' Terry and Hockley counties.
"The Farm Service Agency is demanding the refund of already-paid 2002 Crop Disaster Assistance Program [CDP] and Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program [NAP] payments," he said. "An FSA letter to growers dated September 28, 2006, states that their total amount owed as of that date will be 'offset from any FSA or CCC payment due you.'"
Arens, who owns Farm Planning Service in Morton, Texas, is representing 14 farmers and 28 landlords in the two counties in appeals to the National Appeals Division (NAD) at the United States Department of Agriculture. The NAD office reports directly to the Secretary of Agriculture and is independent of other parts of USDA. According to its Web site, NAD employs a two-stage appeal process. A participant has a right to a hearing in his state of residence before a NAD hearing officer. Thereafter, either the appellant or the agency may ask the NAD director to reverse the hearing officer's determination.
"We filed 42 appeals on the 29th of September regarding CDP and NAP payments," Arens said. "Most of the appeals have been scheduled with a National Appeals Division hearing officer. One officer is in Belton, Texas, and one is in Lawrence, Kansas."
NAD guidelines state that hearings are to be held within 45 days of NAD's receipt of a request for review, so all the appeals should be herd by about the middle of November, Arens adds.
Complicating the situation is the fact that Texas cucumber growers in Uvalde, Medina and Frio counties recently won their fight to receive payment from FSA on failed acreage in 2003-2004.
"The initial situation (with Uvalde, Medina and Frio county growers) was a result of a contract determination that they lost title to the crop. They had not been paid yet when that determination was made," says Juan Garcia, agriculture program manager at the Texas Farm Service Agency. "The growers in Uvalde, Medina and Frio counties did go through an appeal process and the determination was made in their favor at the national level. They have been issued their payments."
Garcia adds that FSA made the same type of determination with the Terry and Hockley county growers — they don't have title to the crop and aren't entitled to the payment.
Arens and his clients contend that the decision in Uvalde, Medina and Frio counties sets the precedent in favor of growers being entitled to the payments. George Caldwell, who handles commodity and regulatory activities for Texas Farm Bureau and has assisted some growers with their appeal of the determination, agrees.
"It's a double issue — proving something that happened so far in the past, and the pretty good financial hit these growers stand to take. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't still have any money somebody gave me that many years ago," Caldwell says. "The government is saying each case has to stand on its own merit, while the Terry and Hockley growers are saying the previous case sets a precedent.
Arens says this case should remind all agricultural producers to be very careful when dealing with FSA, and he cautions them to read carefully the documents governing assistance programs. If they don't, he says, "it's like agreeing to play poker and laying your money out on the table without knowing the rules."
Of further concern to Arens are the implications of the Terry and Hockley county appellants losing their cases.
"They are huge, because if we lose this, they are likely to go back and look at other crops," he says. "But, I don't intend to lose."

Yale-Cleveland State Box Score
KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Deanna DiBernardi hit a three-run home run in the second inning to help Yale to a 4-1 victory over Colgate at the Rebel Games. Ashley Linnenbank pitched a three-hitter to earn her third victory of the season. The Bulldogs lost their first game of the day 1-0 to Cleveland State.
Against Colgate, Yale jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second. Kathleen Edwards led off with a single. Megan Enyeart then walked and Kate Meserve followed with a sacrifice bunt. With two outs, DiBernardi belted her first career homer, a long shot to left field.
The Bulldogs added to the lead in the fourth. Courtney Blachford walked, stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on Kyli Hanson's sacrifice fly.
Linnenbank cruised through the first four innings. She retired the first eight batters before issuing a walk. Colgate's first hit was Whitney Scott's single leading off the fifth. Scott later scored on an error. The Red Raiders threatened to score more, but Blachford made a sliding catch on Porscha Albert's shallow fly to left with runners on second and third.
Linnenbank did not allow an earned run and struck out one.
The Cleveland State game was a pitcher's duel between Yale's DiBernardi and CSU's Grace Luginbuhl. DiBernardi allowed a single to the first batter she faced and then retired 13 in a row before hitting Kortney Spidell with a pitch with two out in the fifth. DiBernardi allowed three hits in 5.1 innings and struck out six.
Luginbuhl had a no-hitter until Aracelis Torres hit a sharp single to left with two-out in the fourth. Luginbuhl finished with 10 strikeouts and two walks.
The Vikings (8-1) scored the only run of the game in the sixth. Whitney Willard led off with a walk. Back-to-back singles by Luginbuhl and Christa Lopes loaded the bases, and Willard then scored on a wild pitch.
Yale threatened in the top of the seventh. Edwards led off with a single. Enyeart then laid down a sacrifice bunt and reached when Luginbuhl threw wildly to first. With one out, Blachford singled to load the bases, but Luginbuhl induced a double play grounder to end the game.
The Bulldogs had runners on base in each of the last four innings, but stranded six in the game.
Yale finishes its spring trip with a 10-4 overall record. The Bulldogs return home to host Manhattan in a doubleheader on Saturday. The first pitch of the first game is scheduled for noon at Dewitt Family Field.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The 2010 Yale softball season has already had its share of eventful moments. It began a day later than expected because of torrential rain in normally sunny Florida. Kayla Kuretich had her bid for a no-hitter ended by ground ball single in the seventh inning against Marist, and most recently, Yale saw a 9-3 lead go for naught when the game had to be stopped after four innings because of darkness. All of that, though, gets forgotten now as Yale prepares for its Ivy League openers this weekend. The Bulldogs play doubleheaders at Columbia on Friday and at Penn on Saturday. The action on both days begins at 2 p.m.
Yale (4-11) struggled offensively early in the year but has been better of late. The Bulldogs banged out 16 hits in only four innings on Wednesday against Fairfield. Meg Johnson and Christy Nelson both homered before the game was called. Yale has scored at least three runs in five of its last seven games, not including the second Fairfield game. Ashley Sloan leads the way with a .294 average. Nelson (.282), Johnson (.279) and Lauren Huddleston (.278) have also been hitting well. Huddleston is batting .462 in her last four games.
Kuretich has anchored a pitching staff that has been very consistent. She leads the team in earned run average (2.15), innings (42.1) and strike outs (44). Holly Gutterud (2.90 ERA) and freshman Jackie Manzer (3.00 ERA) have been strong as well.
Columbia (5-14) hasn't played since an 8-5 loss to Manhattan last Saturday. Alison Lam, who was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week on Tuesday, leads the team with a .344 average. Dani Pineda has three of Columbia's four home runs. Maureen O'Kane (4.41 ERA) and Maggie Johnson (5.25 ERA) have seen a majority of the action in the circle.
Penn features a potent offense. The Quakers have scored at least six runs in a game five times this season. Brooke Coloma (.400), Keiko Uraguchi (.365) and Jessica Arneson (..324) lead the way. Chelsea Ott (2.24 ERA) anchors the pitching staff.
Yale swept a doubleheader from Columbia last year at Dewitt Family Field but got swept by Penn the next day.

Better Off Road Truck Body LiftsPosted in How To: Body Chassis on May 1, 2010
In this age of high-performance shocks, solid-axle conversions, and cutting-edge suspension systems it can be easy to overlook some of the more traditional ways to raise your 4x4. While advances in off-road technology are great, for many people these high-zoot components simply surpass their needs. For the average wheeler who's looking for a subtle boost and room for a larger set of tires, a body lift is an excellent and budget-friendly lift alternative.
Since the first body-on-frame constructed vehicle rolled onto the highway many moons ago, body lifts have been an active instrument in the automotive world. Used by OEMs to squeeze larger powertrains into existing vehicle models and by rockcrawlers to tuck their drivetrains up high for a flat underbelly, body lifts have definitely secured their place in the performance aftermarket.
While body lifts have a wide array of uses, the most basic is to raise the body of the vehicle 1-3 inches so that larger tires can be installed. One of the biggest advantages of equipping your rig with a body lift as opposed to a suspension lift is that a mild body lift allows you to raise the stance of the rig without modifying the suspension or drivetrain components. This means no changes in driveshaft or CV angles and no unique suspension parts to contend with.
To get a closer look at a modern body lift, we headed over to the 4Wheel Parts store in Van Nuys, California. We then followed along as the parts crew installed a 3-inch Performance Accessories body lift on an '06 Chevy 1500 4x4.

NORTON, Mass. - The MIT men's basketball team never trailed during a 79-61 win over Wheaton College in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action on Saturday afternoon at Emerson Gymnasium. MIT sophomore Mitchell Kates poured in a career-high 34 points to help the Engineers win their third straight NEWMAC game, after starting off league play 0-2.
The Lyons drop their third straight in slipping to 6-10 overall and 2-4 at the halfway point of their league slate, while the Engineers improve to 13-5 and move into a tie for second place in the NEWMAC at 3-2.
Senior Anthony Coppola led Wheaton in scoring for the seventh straight game, pouring in 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting. He had 19 points by halftime. Junior Brendan Degnan added 12 points, while freshman Brian Grossman matched a season best with nine.
Kates turned in an impressive shooting performance, going 11-of-15 overall, 4-of-6 from three-point territory and 8-of-9 from the charity stripe en route to a game-best 34 points. He also had a game-high five assists. Classmate Will Tashman added 14 points, seven boards and four assists.
Fouls were ramped, as the teams combined for 44 free-throw attempts and 42 fouls. The hosts went 19-of-25 from the charity stripe, while the Engineers made 18 of their 21 tries. MIT also held a 31-21 rebounding advantage while shooting 52 percent from the floor. Wheaton shot 45.2 percent but just 36.4 percent in the second half.
MIT jumped out to 6-0 and 8-2 leads before the Lyons answered with nine straight points to force an 11-all tie at 16:08 of the opening half. Coppola single-handedly kept the Blue and White close, scoring 11 of Wheaton's initial 15 points, as the hosts trailed 18-15 at 13:31. The Engineers took over from there, using a 19-4 run to balloon their advantage to 37-19 at 7:42. MIT led by as many as 19 before carrying a comfortable 48-34 cushion into the locker room.
A Grossman triple at 14:13 of the second half kept the Lyons in striking distance, down 54-42, but Kates scored nine of the game's next 10 points to give his team a 63-43 lead with 11:45 remaining. Wheaton got as close as 67-54 with less than eight minutes to play before MIT put the contest out of reach with 10 unanswered points for a 77-54 bulge at the 3:55 mark.
Next up, Tech will host Coast Guard on Wednesday, January 26 as part of a men's and women's doubleheader. The men's game begins at 8:00 p.m. The Lyons break from league play on Tuesday when they travel to Medford to take on Tufts University at 7:00 p.m.

Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol
From DocWiki
The Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) represents an evolution from its predecessor IGRP (refer to Interior Gateway Routing Protocol). This evolution resulted from changes in networking and the demands of diverse, large-scale internetworks. EIGRP integrates the capabilities of link-state protocols into distance vector protocols. Additionally, EIGRP contains several important protocols that greatly increase its operational efficiency relative to other routing protocols. One of these protocols is the Diffusing update algorithm (DUAL) developed at SRI International by Dr. J.J. Garcia-Luna-Aceves. DUAL enables EIGRP routers to determine whether a path advertised by a neighbor is looped or loop-free, and allows a router running EIGRP to find alternate paths without waiting on updates from other routers.
EIGRP provides compatibility and seamless interoperation with IGRP routers. An automatic-redistribution mechanism allows IGRP routes to be imported into EIGRP, and vice versa, so it is possible to add EIGRP gradually into an existing IGRP network. Because the metrics for both protocols are directly translatable, they are as easily comparable as if they were routes that originated in their own autonomous systems (ASs). In addition, EIGRP treats IGRP routes as external routes and provides a way for the network administrator to customize them.
This article provides an overview of the basic operations and protocol characteristics of EIGRP.
EIGRP Capabilities and Attributes
Key capabilities that distinguish EIGRP from other routing protocols include fast convergence, support for variable-length subnet mask, support for partial updates, and support for multiple network layer protocols.
A router running EIGRP stores all its neighbors' routing tables so that it can quickly adapt to alternate routes. If no appropriate route exists, EIGRP queries its neighbors to discover an alternate route. These queries propagate until an alternate route is found.
Its support for variable-length subnet masks permits routes to be automatically summarized on a network number boundary. In addition, EIGRP can be configured to summarize on any bit boundary at any interface.
EIGRP does not make periodic updates. Instead, it sends partial updates only when the metric for a route changes. Propagation of partial updates is automatically bounded so that only those routers that need the information are updated. As a result of these two capabilities, EIGRP consumes significantly less bandwidth than IGRP.
EIGRP includes support for AppleTalk, IP, and Novell NetWare. The AppleTalk implementation redistributes routes learned from the Routing Table Maintenance Protocol (RTMP). The IP implementation redistributes routes learned from OSPF, Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP), or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). The Novell implementation redistributes routes learned from Novell RIP or Service Advertisement Protocol (SAP).
Underlying Processes and Technologies
To provide superior routing performance, EIGRP employs four key technologies that combine to differentiate it from other routing technologies: neighbor discovery/recovery, reliable transport protocol (RTP), DUAL finite-state machine, and protocol-dependent modules.
The neighbor discovery/recovery mechanism enables routers to dynamically learn about other routers on their directly attached networks. Routers also must discover when their neighbors become unreachable or inoperative. This process is achieved with low overhead by periodically sending small hello packets. As long as a router receives hello packets from a neighboring router, it assumes that the neighbor is functioning, and the two can exchange routing information.
Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP) is responsible for guaranteed, ordered delivery of EIGRP packets to all neighbors. It supports intermixed transmission of multicast or unicast packets. For efficiency, only certain EIGRP packets are transmitted reliably. On a multiaccess network that has multicast capabilities, such as Ethernet, it is not necessary to send hello packets reliably to all neighbors individually. For that reason, EIGRP sends a single multicast hello packet containing an indicator that informs the receivers that the packet need not be acknowledged. Other types of packets, such as updates, indicate in the packet that acknowledgment is required. RTP contains a provision for sending multicast packets quickly when unacknowledged packets are pending, which helps ensure that convergence time remains low in the presence of varying speed links.
The DUAL finite-state machine embodies the decision process for all route computations by tracking all routes advertised by all neighbors. DUAL uses distance information to select efficient, loop-free paths and selects routes for insertion in a routing table based on feasible successors. A feasible successor is a neighboring router used for packet forwarding that is a least-cost path to a destination that is guaranteed not to be part of a routing loop. When a neighbor changes a metric, or when a topology change occurs, DUAL tests for feasible successors. If one is found, DUAL uses it to avoid recomputing the route unnecessarily. When no feasible successors exist but neighbors still advertise the destination, a recomputation (also known as a diffusing computation) must occur to determine a new successor. Although recomputation is not processor-intensive, it does affect convergence time, so it is advantageous to avoid unnecessary recomputations.
Protocol-dependent modules are responsible for network layer protocol-specific requirements. The IP-EIGRP module, for example, is responsible for sending and receiving EIGRP packets that are encapsulated in IP. Likewise, IP-EIGRP is also responsible for parsing EIGRP packets and informing DUAL of the new information that has been received. IP-EIGRP asks DUAL to make routing decisions, the results of which are stored in the IP routing table. IP-EIGRP is responsible for redistributing routes learned by other IP routing protocols.
Routing Concepts
EIGRP relies on four fundamental concepts: neighbor tables, topology tables, route states, and route tagging. Each of these is summarized in the discussions that follow.
Neighbor Tables
When a router discovers a new neighbor, it records the neighbor's address and interface as an entry in the neighbor table. One neighbor table exists for each protocol-dependent module. When a neighbor sends a hello packet, it advertises a hold time, which is the amount of time that a router treats a neighbor as reachable and operational. If a hello packet is not received within the hold time, the hold time expires and DUAL is informed of the topology change.
The neighbor-table entry also includes information required by RTP. Sequence numbers are employed to match acknowledgments with data packets, and the last sequence number received from the neighbor is recorded so that out-of-order packets can be detected. A transmission list is used to queue packets for possible retransmission on a per-neighbor basis. Round-trip timers are kept in the neighbor-table entry to estimate an optimal retransmission interval.
Topology Tables
The topology table contains all destinations advertised by neighboring routers. The protocol-dependent modules populate the table, and the table is acted on by the DUAL finite-state machine. Each entry in the topology table includes the destination address and a list of neighbors that have advertised the destination. For each neighbor, the entry records the advertised metric, which the neighbor stores in its routing table. An important rule that distance vector protocols must follow is that if the neighbor advertises this destination, it must use the route to forward packets.
The metric that the router uses to reach the destination is also associated with the destination. The metric that the router uses in the routing table, and to advertise to other routers, is the sum of the best-advertised metric from all neighbors and the link cost to the best neighbor.
Route States
A topology-table entry for a destination can exist in one of two states: active or passive. A destination is in the passive state when the router is not performing a recomputation; it is in the active state when the router is performing a recomputation. If feasible successors are always available, a destination never has to go into the active state, thereby avoiding a recomputation.
A recomputation occurs when a destination has no feasible successors. The router initiates the recomputation by sending a query packet to each of its neighboring routers. The neighboring router can send a reply packet, indicating that it has a feasible successor for the destination, or it can send a query packet, indicating that it is participating in the recomputation. While a destination is in the active state, a router cannot change the destination's routing-table information. After the router has received a reply from each neighboring router, the topology-table entry for the destination returns to the passive state, and the router can select a successor.
Route Tagging
EIGRP supports internal and external routes. Internal routes originate within an EIGRP AS. Therefore, a directly attached network that is configured to run EIGRP is considered an internal route and is propagated with this information throughout the EIGRP AS. External routes are learned by another routing protocol or reside in the routing table as static routes. These routes are tagged individually with the identity of their origin.
External routes are tagged with the following information:
- Router ID of the EIGRP router that redistributed the route
- AS number of the destination
- Configurable administrator tag
- ID of the external protocol
- Metric from the external protocol
- Bit flags for default routing
Route tagging allows the network administrator to customize routing and maintain flexible policy controls. Route tagging is particularly useful in transit ASs, where EIGRP typically interacts with an interdomain routing protocol that implements more global policies, resulting in a very scalable, policy-based routing.
EIGRP Packet Types
EIGRP uses the following packet types: hello and acknowledgment, update, and query and reply.
Hello packets are multicast for neighbor discovery/recovery and do not require acknowledgment. An acknowledgment packet is a hello packet that has no data. Acknowledgment packets contain a nonzero acknowledgment number and always are sent by using a unicast address.
Update packets are used to convey reachability of destinations. When a new neighbor is discovered, unicast update packets are sent so that the neighbor can build up its topology table. In other cases, such as a link-cost change, updates are multicast. Updates always are transmitted reliably.
Query and reply packets are sent when a destination has no feasible successors. Query packets are always multicast. Reply packets are sent in response to query packets to instruct the originator not to recompute the route because feasible successors exist. Reply packets are unicast to the originator of the query. Both query and reply packets are transmitted reliably.
Cisco Systems's EIGRP is one of the most feature-rich and robust distance vector routing protocols to ever be developed. EIGRP is also remarkably easy to configure and use, as well as remarkably efficient and secure in operation. It can be used in conjunction with IPv4, AppleTalk, and IPX. More importantly, its modular architecture will readily enable Cisco to add support for other routed protocols that may be developed in the future.
Review Questions
Q - Name the four key technologies that are used by EIGRP.
A - EIGRP employs four key technologies, including neighbor discover/recovery, Reliable Transport Protocol (RTP), Diffusing Update ALgorithm (DUAL) finite-state machine, and a modular architecture that enables support for new protocols to be easily added to an existing network.
Q - Explain why EIGRP is more efficient in operation than IGRP.
A - Unlike most other distance vector routing protocols, EIGRP does not mandate a periodic update of routing tables between neighboring routers. Instead, it employs a neighbor discovery/recovery mechanism to ensure that neighbors remain aware of each other's accessibility. As long as a router receives periodic hello packets from its neighbors, it can assume that those neighbors remain functional. More importantly, it can assume that all of its routes that rely upon passage through those neighbors remain usable. Thus, EIGRP is much more efficient than conventional distance vector routing protocols because it imposes much less overhead on routers and transmission facilities during normal operation.
Q - How does RTP enable improved convergence times?
A - RTP is responsible for providing guaranteed delivery of EIGRP packets between neighboring routers. However, not all of the EIGRP packets that neighbors exchange must be sent reliably. Some packets, such as hello packets, can be sent unreliably. More importantly, they can be multicast rather than having separate datagrams with essentially the same payload being discretely addressed and sent to individual routers. This helps an EIGRP network converge quickly, even when its links are of varying speeds.
Q - Why does EIGRP tag certain routes?
A - EIGRP supports both internal and external routes. Routes that are internal to an AS are completely contained within that AS. External routes are those that are learned from neighbors that lie outside the AS. External routes are tagged with information that identifies their origin. This enables a network administrator to develop customized interdomain routing policies.

NORTH BERWICK, Maine — Blair Marelli said his success as the new athletic director at Noble High School won't necessarily be measured in wins and losses.
"Our focus is on the student-athlete," Marelli said. "We're looking for good citizens in the school. We're looking at the student-athlete as a whole first, then the rest comes."
Of course, success for Noble athletes on the field of play will be nice too, and he believes that will come as long as the program's priorities are right.
"I think our numbers are coming up and there's more pride in the athletic program," Marelli said. "That's what I want to see. As you start to see that, we'll start to accumulate some better scores and some wins. I'm looking forward to it."
Marelli took over at the beginning of the school year for Kyle Keenan, who held the position for three years. Keenan is still at the school as Dean of Students.
Originally from Long Island, N.Y., Marelli attended Southern Connecticut State University where he was a track standout. His main event was the 400-meter hurdles, although he ran numerous others.
"You name it," Marelli said. "Anything they could stick me in."
He graduated from Southern Connecticut State after thrice earning all-american honors, then embarked on a coaching career that brought him to various stops including Wayne State in Nebraska and Castleton State in Vermont.
"I've been all over the place," Marelli said.
He came to Noble at the beginning of the 2010-11 school year and has worked as a health teacher and as the girls outdoor and indoor track coach.
"It's a change of pace, something a little different," Marelli said. "We're in the building years here. Kyle did an excellent job at building the foundation, now we're building the walls."
Noble is coming off a fine fall season, which saw its boys soccer team advance deep in the Western Maine Class A tournament and its football team come within just a few plays of a playoff spot. It was a dramatic improvement for the football team, which went 4-4 after amassing a total of five wins the previous five seasons.
Marelli said he wasn't surprised by the fall sports teams' success.
"We have the talent here just like at anywhere else," he said. "We're similar to the schools near us. It's there. Things have to fall into place and they're falling into place. All the coaches are on board with making things work. And it's paying off. Hopefully it's contagious."
Now Marelli has his focus set on the winter sports season. He noted that the girls basketball program has shown constant improvement in recent years, and wants to continue the success of the wrestling program, which is always in contention for the Western Maine Class A championship.
Marelli said he hopes to see the boys basketball program continue to improve under new coach Ken Kimber, who takes over for A.J. Dufort, who stepped down after six years.
"I don't know why boys basketball has not been successful," Marelli said. "If I knew I'd write a book. There were plenty of successes, just not measured in wins. Our new coach will be on top of that, as was A.J. Hopefully we can have more successes that are measured in wins."

.TXT to .MSG (Outlook) Conversion
Budget $30-40 USD
I need 8 text files (.TXT) converted into Microsoft Outlook .MSG files.
## Deliverables
See the attached samples.
I have 8 text files similar to the file "Test [url removed, login to view]".
The objective is to convert them into the .MSG format so that they can be imported and read successfully as e-mails by Microsoft Outlook 2007.
I understand that the .MSG format contains header information NOT found in the text files. This is okay - the header information may be made up, copied from the attached .MSG file, or dealt with in another way the coder can figure out.
The deliverables will be 8 .MSG files (1 for each .TXT file).
What's important is that I will need to be able to drag and drop these .MSG files into Outlook so that they are imported as e-mails. What matters is that the data fields are translated accurately (From, To, Subject, Message, Time/Date) for sorting and search purposes. Again, header information is not important.
I will supply the 8 text files upon selection of a coder.
